He turned the sea into dry land; They went through the river on foot: There did we rejoice in him.


He ruleth by his might for ever; His eyes observe the nations: Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. [Selah


Oh bless our God, ye peoples, And make the voice of his praise to be heard;


Who holdeth our soul in life, And suffereth not our feet to be moved.


For thou, O God, hast proved us: Thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.


Thou broughtest us into the net; Thou layedst a sore burden upon our loins.


Thou didst cause men to ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water; But thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.


I will come into thy house with burnt-offerings; I will pay thee my vows,


Which my lips uttered, And my mouth spake, when I was in distress.


I will offer unto thee burnt-offerings of fatlings, With the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. [Selah


Come, and hear, all ye that fear God, And I will declare what he hath done for my soul.


I cried unto him with my mouth, And he was extolled with my tongue.


If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear:


But verily God hath heard; He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.


Blessed be God, Who hath not turned away my prayer, Nor his lovingkindness from me.


God be merciful unto us, and bless us, And cause his face to shine upon us; [Selah


That thy way may be known upon earth, Thy salvation among all nations.


Let the peoples praise thee, O God; Let all the peoples praise thee.


Oh let the nations be glad and sing for joy; For thou wilt judge the peoples with equity, And govern the nations upon earth. [Selah


The earth hath yielded its increase: God, even our own God, will bless us.


God will bless us; And all the ends of the earth shall fear him.


Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered; Let them also that hate him flee before him.


As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: As wax melteth before the fire, So let the wicked perish at the presence of God.


But let the righteous be glad; let them exult before God: Yea, let them rejoice with gladness.


Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: Cast up a highway for him that rideth through the deserts; His name is Jehovah; and exult ye before him.


A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, Is God in his holy habitation.


God setteth the solitary in families: He bringeth out the prisoners into prosperity; But the rebellious dwell in a parched land.


O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, When thou didst march through the wilderness; [Selah


The earth trembled, The heavens also dropped rain at the presence of God: Yon Sinai trembled at the presence of God, the God of Israel.


Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, Thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.


Thy congregation dwelt therein: Thou, O God, didst prepare of thy goodness for the poor.


The Lord giveth the word: The women that publish the tidings are a great host.


Kings of armies flee, they flee; And she that tarrieth at home divideth the spoil.


When ye lie among the sheepfolds, It is as the wings of a dove covered with silver, And her pinions with yellow gold.


When the Almighty scattered kings therein, It was as when it snoweth in Zalmon.


A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan; A high mountain is the mountain of Bashan.


Why look ye askance, ye high mountains, At the mountain which God hath desired for his abode? Yea, Jehovah will dwell in it for ever.


The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands upon thousands: The Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the sanctuary.


Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led away captives; Thou hast received gifts among men, Yea, among the rebellious also, that Jehovah God might dwell with them.


Blessed be the Lord, who daily beareth our burden, Even the God who is our salvation. [Selah


God is unto us a God of deliverances; And unto Jehovah the Lord belongeth escape from death.


But God will smite through the head of his enemies, The hairy scalp of such a one as goeth on still in his guiltiness.


The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring them again from the depths of the sea;


That thou mayest crush them, dipping thy foot in blood, That the tongue of thy dogs may have its portion from thine enemies.


They have seen thy goings, O God, Even the goings of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.


The singers went before, the minstrels followed after, In the midst of the damsels playing with timbrels.


Bless ye God in the congregations, Even the Lord, ye that are of the fountain of Israel.


There is little Benjamin their ruler, The princes of Judah and their council, The princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali.


Thy God hath commanded thy strength: Strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.


Because of thy temple at Jerusalem Kings shall bring presents unto thee.


Rebuke the wild beast of the reeds, The multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the peoples, Trampling under foot the pieces of silver: He hath scattered the peoples that delight in war.


Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall haste to stretch out her hands unto God.


Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; Oh sing praises unto the Lord; [Selah


To him that rideth upon the heaven of heavens, which are of old; Lo, he uttereth his voice, a mighty voice.


Ascribe ye strength unto God: His excellency is over Israel, And his strength is in the skies.


O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: The God of Israel, he giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God.


Save me, O God; For the waters are come in unto my soul.


I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.


I am weary with my crying; my throat is dried: Mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.


They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head: They that would cut me off, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: That which I took not away I have to restore.


O God, thou knowest my foolishness; And my sins are not hid from thee.


Let not them that wait for thee be put to shame through me, O Lord Jehovah of hosts: Let not those that seek thee be brought to dishonor through me, O God of Israel.


Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; Shame hath covered my face.


I am become a stranger unto my brethren, And an alien unto my mother's children.


For the zeal of thy house hath eaten me up; And the reproaches of them that reproach thee are fallen upon me.


When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, That was to my reproach.


When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a byword unto them.


They that sit in the gate talk of me; And I am the song of the drunkards.


But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O Jehovah, in an acceptable time: O God, in the abundance of thy lovingkindness, Answer me in the truth of thy salvation.


Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: Let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.


Let not the waterflood overwhelm me, Neither let the deep swallow me up; And let not the pit shut its mouth upon me.


Answer me, O Jehovah; for thy lovingkindness is good: According to the multitude of thy tender mercies turn thou unto me.


And hide not thy face from thy servant; For I am in distress; answer me speedily.


Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: Ransom me because of mine enemies.


Thou knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonor: Mine adversaries are all before thee.


Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: And I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; And for comforters, but I found none.


They gave me also gall for my food; And in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.


Let their table before them become a snare; And when they are in peace, let it become a trap.


Let their eyes be darkened, so that they cannot see; And make their loins continually to shake.


Pour out thine indignation upon them, And let the fierceness of thine anger overtake them.


Let their habitation be desolate; Let none dwell in their tents.


For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; And they tell of the sorrow of those whom thou hast wounded.


Add iniquity unto their iniquity; And let them not come into thy righteousness.


Let them be blotted out of the book of life, And not be written with the righteous.


But I am poor and sorrowful: Let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.


I will praise the name of God with a song, And will magnify him with thanksgiving.


And it will please Jehovah better than an ox, Or a bullock that hath horns and hoofs.


The meek have seen it, and are glad: Ye that seek after God, let your heart live.


For Jehovah heareth the needy, And despiseth not his prisoners.


Let heaven and earth praise him, The seas, and everything that moveth therein.


For God will save Zion, and build the cities of Judah; And they shall abide there, and have it in possession.


The seed also of his servants shall inherit it; And they that love his name shall dwell therein.


Make haste, O God, to deliver me; Make haste to help me, O Jehovah.


Let them be put to shame and confounded That seek after my soul: Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor That delight in my hurt.


Let them be turned back by reason of their shame That say, Aha, aha.


Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee; And let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.


But I am poor and needy; Make haste unto me, O God: Thou art my help and my deliverer; O Jehovah, make no tarrying.


In thee, O Jehovah, do I take refuge: Let me never be put to shame.


Deliver me in thy righteousness, and rescue me: Bow down thine ear unto me, and save me.


Be thou to me a rock of habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: Thou hast given commandment to save me; For thou art my rock and my fortress.


Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, Out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.


For thou art my hope, O Lord Jehovah: Thou art my trust from my youth.


By thee have I been holden up from the womb; Thou art he that took me out of my mother's bowels: My praise shall be continually of thee.


I am as a wonder unto many; But thou art my strong refuge.


My mouth shall be filled with thy praise, And with thy honor all the day.


Cast me not off in the time of old age; Forsake me not when my strength faileth.


For mine enemies speak concerning me; And they that watch for my soul take counsel together,


Saying, God hath forsaken him: Pursue and take him; for there is none to deliver.


O God, be not far from me; O my God, make haste to help me.


Let them be put to shame and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor that seek my hurt.


But I will hope continually, And will praise thee yet more and more.


My mouth shall tell of thy righteousness, And of thy salvation all the day; For I know not the numbers thereof.


I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord Jehovah: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.


O God, thou hast taught me from my youth; And hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.


Yea, even when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not, Until I have declared thy strength unto the next generation, Thy might to every one that is to come.


Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high; Thou who hast done great things, O God, who is like unto thee?


Thou, who hast showed us many and sore troubles, Wilt quicken us again, And wilt bring us up again from the depths of the earth.


Increase thou my greatness, And turn again and comfort me.


I will also praise thee with the psaltery, Even thy truth, O my God: Unto thee will I sing praises with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.


My lips shall shout for joy when I sing praises unto thee; And my soul, which thou hast redeemed.


My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long; For they are put to shame, for they are confounded, that seek my hurt.


Give the king thy judgments, O God, And thy righteousness unto the king's son.


He will judge thy people with righteousness, And thy poor with justice.


The mountains shall bring peace to the people, And the hills, in righteousness.


He will judge the poor of the people, He will save the children of the needy, And will break in pieces the oppressor.


They shall fear thee while the sun endureth, And so long as the moon, throughout all generations.


He will come down like rain upon the mown grass, As showers that water the earth.


In his days shall the righteous flourish, And abundance of peace, till the moon be no more.


He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, And from the River unto the ends of the earth.


They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; And his enemies shall lick the dust.


The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall render tribute: The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.


Yea, all kings shall fall down before him; All nations shall serve him.


For he will deliver the needy when he crieth, And the poor, that hath no helper.


He will have pity on the poor and needy, And the souls of the needy he will save.


He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence; And precious will their blood be in his sight:


And they shall live; and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: And men shall pray for him continually; They shall bless him all the day long.


There shall be abundance of grain in the earth upon the top of the mountains; The fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: And they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.


His name shall endure for ever; His name shall be continued as long as the sun: And men shall be blessed in him; All nations shall call him happy.


Blessed be Jehovah God, the God of Israel, Who only doeth wondrous things:


And blessed be his glorious name for ever; And let the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen, and Amen.


The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.


Surely God is good to Israel, Even to such as are pure in heart.


But as for me, my feet were almost gone; My steps had well nigh slipped.


For I was envious at the arrogant, When I saw the prosperity of the wicked.


For there are no pangs in their death; But their strength is firm.


They are not in trouble as other men; Neither are they plagued like other men.


Therefore pride is as a chain about their neck; Violence covereth them as a garment.


Their eyes stand out with fatness: They have more than heart could wish.


They scoff, and in wickedness utter oppression: They speak loftily.


They have set their mouth in the heavens, And their tongue walketh through the earth.


Therefore his people return hither: And waters of a full cup are drained by them.


And they say, How doth God know? And is there knowledge in the Most High?


Behold, these are the wicked; And, being alway at ease, they increase in riches.


Surely in vain have I cleansed my heart, And washed my hands in innocency;


For all the day long have I been plagued, And chastened every morning.


If I had said, I will speak thus; Behold, I had dealt treacherously with the generation of thy children.


When I thought how I might know this, It was too painful for me;


Until I went into the sanctuary of God, And considered their latter end.


Surely thou settest them in slippery places: Thou castest them down to destruction.


How are they become a desolation in a moment! They are utterly consumed with terrors.


As a dream when one awaketh, So, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou wilt despise their image.


For my soul was grieved, And I was pricked in my heart:


So brutish was I, and ignorant; I was as a beast before thee.


Nevertheless I am continually with thee: Thou hast holden my right hand.


Thou wilt guide me with thy counsel, And afterward receive me to glory.


Whom have I in heaven but thee? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides thee.


My flesh and my heart faileth; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion for ever.


For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: Thou hast destroyed all them that play the harlot, departing from thee.


But it is good for me to draw near unto God: I have made the Lord Jehovah my refuge, That I may tell of all thy works.


O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? Why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?


Remember thy congregation, which thou hast gotten of old, Which thou hast redeemed to be the tribe of thine inheritance; And mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.


Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual ruins, All the evil that the enemy hath done in the sanctuary.


Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of thine assembly; They have set up their ensigns for signs.


They seemed as men that lifted up Axes upon a thicket of trees.


And now all the carved work thereof They break down with hatchet and hammers.


They have set thy sanctuary on fire; They have profaned the dwelling-place of thy name by casting it to the ground.


They said in their heart, Let us make havoc of them altogether: They have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.


We see not our signs: There is no more any prophet; Neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.


How long, O God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?


Why drawest thou back thy hand, even thy right hand? Pluck it out of thy bosom and consume them.


Yet God is my King of old, Working salvation in the midst of the earth.


Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: Thou brakest the heads of the sea-monsters in the waters.


Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces; Thou gavest him to be food to the people inhabiting the wilderness.


Thou didst cleave fountain and flood: Thou driedst up mighty rivers.


The day is thine, the night also is thine: Thou hast prepared the light and the sun.


Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: Thou hast made summer and winter.


Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O Jehovah, And that a foolish people hath blasphemed thy name.


Oh deliver not the soul of thy turtle-dove unto the wild beast: Forget not the life of thy poor for ever.


Have respect unto the covenant; For the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of violence.


Oh let not the oppressed return ashamed: Let the poor and needy praise thy name.


Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: Remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee all the day.


Forget not the voice of thine adversaries: The tumult of those that rise up against thee ascendeth continually.


We give thanks unto thee, O God; We give thanks, for thy name is near: Men tell of thy wondrous works.


When I shall find the set time, I will judge uprightly.


The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I have set up the pillars of it. [Selah


I said unto the arrogant, Deal not arrogantly; And to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:


Lift not up your horn on high; Speak not with a stiff neck.


For neither from the east, nor from the west, Nor yet from the south, cometh lifting up.


But God is the judge: He putteth down one, and lifteth up another.


For in the hand of Jehovah there is a cup, and the wine foameth; It is full of mixture, and he poureth out of the same: Surely the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall drain them, and drink them.


But I will declare for ever, I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.


All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; But the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.


In Judah is God known: His name is great in Israel.


In Salem also is his tabernacle, And his dwelling-place in Zion.


There he brake the arrows of the bow; The shield, and the sword, and the battle. [Selah


Glorious art thou and excellent, From the mountains of prey.


The stouthearted are made a spoil, They have slept their sleep; And none of the men of might have found their hands.


At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.


Thou, even thou, art to be feared; And who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?


Thou didst cause sentence to be heard from heaven; The earth feared, and was still,


When God arose to judgment, To save all the meek of the earth. [Selah


Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: The residue of wrath shalt thou gird upon thee.


Vow, and pay unto Jehovah your God: Let all that are round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.


He will cut off the spirit of princes: He is terrible to the kings of the earth.


I will cry unto God with my voice, Even unto God with my voice; and he will give ear unto me.


In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: My hand was stretched out in the night, and slacked not; My soul refused to be comforted.


I remember God, and am disquieted: I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. [Selah


Thou holdest mine eyes watching: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.


I have considered the days of old, The years of ancient times.


I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart; And my spirit maketh diligent search.


Will the Lord cast off for ever? And will he be favorable no more?


Is his lovingkindness clean gone for ever? Doth his promise fail for evermore?


Hath God forgotten to be gracious? Hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? [Selah


And I said, This is my infirmity; But I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High.


I will make mention of the deeds of Jehovah; For I will remember thy wonders of old.


I will meditate also upon all thy work, And muse on thy doings.


Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: Who is a great god like unto God?


Thou art the God that doest wonders: Thou hast made known thy strength among the peoples.


Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. [Selah


The waters saw thee, O God; The waters saw thee, they were afraid: The depths also trembled.


The clouds poured out water; The skies sent out a sound: Thine arrows also went abroad.


The voice of thy thunder was in the whirlwind; The lightnings lightened the world: The earth trembled and shook.


Thy way was in the sea, And thy paths in the great waters, And thy footsteps were not known.


Thou leddest thy people like a flock, By the hand of Moses and Aaron.


Give ear, O my people, to my law: Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.


I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old,


Which we have heard and known, And our fathers have told us.


We will not hide them from their children, Telling to the generation to come the praises of Jehovah, And his strength, and his wondrous works that he hath done.


For he established a testimony in Jacob, And appointed a law in Israel, Which he commanded our fathers, That they should make them known to their children;


That the generation to come might know them, even the children that should be born; Who should arise and tell them to their children,


That they might set their hope in God, And not forget the works of God, But keep his commandments,


And might not be as their fathers, A stubborn and rebellious generation, A generation that set not their heart aright, And whose spirit was not stedfast with God.


The children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, Turned back in the day of battle.


They kept not the covenant of God, And refused to walk in his law;


And they forgat his doings, And his wondrous works that he had showed them.


Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, In the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.


He clave the sea, and caused them to pass through; And he made the waters to stand as a heap.


In the day-time also he led them with a cloud, And all the night with a light of fire.


He clave rocks in the wilderness, And gave them drink abundantly as out of the depths.


He brought streams also out of the rock, And caused waters to run down like rivers.


Yet went they on still to sin against him, To rebel against the Most High in the desert.


And they tempted God in their heart By asking food according to their desire.


Yea, they spake against God; They said, Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?


Behold, he smote the rock, so that waters gushed out, And streams overflowed; Can he give bread also? Will he provide flesh for his people?


Therefore Jehovah heard, and was wroth; And a fire was kindled against Jacob, And anger also went up against Israel;


Because they believed not in God, And trusted not in his salvation.


Yet he commanded the skies above, And opened the doors of heaven;


And he rained down manna upon them to eat, And gave them food from heaven.


Man did eat the bread of the mighty: He sent them food to the full.


He caused the east wind to blow in the heavens; And by his power he guided the south wind.


He rained flesh also upon them as the dust, And winged birds as the sand of the seas:


And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, Round about their habitations.


So they did eat, and were well filled; And he gave them their own desire.


They were not estranged from that which they desired, Their food was yet in their mouths,


When the anger of God went up against them, And slew of the fattest of them, And smote down the young men of Israel.


For all this they sinned still, And believed not in his wondrous works.


Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, And their years in terror.


When he slew them, then they inquired after him; And they returned and sought God earnestly.


And they remembered that God was their rock, And the Most High God their redeemer.


But they flattered him with their mouth, And lied unto him with their tongue.


For their heart was not right with him, Neither were they faithful in his covenant.


But he, being merciful, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: Yea, many a time turned he his anger away, And did not stir up all his wrath.


And he remembered that they were but flesh, A wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.


How oft did they rebel against him in the wilderness, And grieve him in the desert!


And they turned again and tempted God, And provoked the Holy One of Israel.


They remembered not his hand, Nor the day when he redeemed them from the adversary;


How he set his signs in Egypt, And his wonders in the field of Zoan,


And turned their rivers into blood, And their streams, so that they could not drink.


He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them; And frogs, which destroyed them.


He gave also their increase unto the caterpillar, And their labor unto the locust.


He destroyed their vines with hail, And their sycomore-trees with frost.


He gave over their cattle also to the hail, And their flocks to hot thunderbolts.


He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, Wrath, and indignation, and trouble, A band of angels of evil.


He made a path for his anger; He spared not their soul from death, But gave their life over to the pestilence,


And smote all the first-born in Egypt, The chief of their strength in the tents of Ham.


But he led forth his own people like sheep, And guided them in the wilderness like a flock.


And he led them safely, so that they feared not; But the sea overwhelmed their enemies.


And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, To this mountain, which his right hand had gotten.


He drove out the nations also before them, And allotted them for an inheritance by line, And made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.


Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God, And kept not his testimonies;


But turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers: They were turned aside like a deceitful bow.


For they provoked him to anger with their high places, And moved him to jealousy with their graven images.


When God heard this, he was wroth, And greatly abhorred Israel;


So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, The tent which he placed among men;


And delivered his strength into captivity, And his glory into the adversary's hand.


He gave his people over also unto the sword, And was wroth with his inheritance.


Fire devoured their young men; And their virgins had no marriage-song.


Their priests fell by the sword; And their widows made no lamentation.


Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, Like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.


And he smote his adversaries backward: He put them to a perpetual reproach.


Moreover he refused the tent of Joseph, And chose not the tribe of Ephraim,


But chose the tribe of Judah, The mount Zion which he loved.


And he built his sanctuary like the heights, Like the earth which he hath established for ever.


He chose David also his servant, And took him from the sheepfolds:


From following the ewes that have their young he brought him, To be the shepherd of Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.


So he was their shepherd according to the integrity of his heart, And guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.


O God, the nations are come into thine inheritance; Thy holy temple have they defiled; They have laid Jerusalem in heaps.


The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be food unto the birds of the heavens, The flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.


Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; And there was none to bury them.


We are become a reproach to our neighbors, A scoffing and derision to them that are round about us.


How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou be angry for ever? Shall thy jealousy burn like fire?


Pour out thy wrath upon the nations that know thee not, And upon the kingdoms that call not upon thy name.


For they have devoured Jacob, And laid waste his habitation.


Remember not against us the iniquities of our forefathers: Let thy tender mercies speedily meet us; For we are brought very low.


Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name; And deliver us, and forgive our sins, for thy name's sake.


Wherefore should the nations say, Where is their God? Let the avenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed Be known among the nations in our sight.


Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee: According to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to death;


And render unto our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom Their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.


So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture Will give thee thanks for ever: We will show forth thy praise to all generations.


Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, Thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; Thou that sittest above the cherubim, shine forth.


Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up thy might, And come to save us.


Turn us again, O God; And cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.


O Jehovah God of hosts, How long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?


Thou hast fed them with the bread of tears, And given them tears to drink in large measure.


Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbors; And our enemies laugh among themselves.


Turn us again, O God of hosts; And cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.


Thou broughtest a vine out of Egypt: Thou didst drive out the nations, and plantedst it.


Thou preparedst room before it, And it took deep root, and filled the land.


The mountains were covered with the shadow of it, And the boughs thereof were like cedars of God.


It sent out its branches unto the sea, And its shoots unto the River.


Why hast thou broken down its walls, So that all they that pass by the way do pluck it?


The boar out of the wood doth ravage it, And the wild beasts of the field feed on it.


Turn again, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: Look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine,


And the stock which thy right hand planted, And the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.


It is burned with fire, it is cut down: They perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.


Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, Upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.


So shall we not go back from thee: Quicken thou us, and we will call upon thy name.


Turn us again, O Jehovah God of hosts; Cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.


Sing aloud unto God our strength: Make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.


Raise a song, and bring hither the timbrel, The pleasant harp with the psaltery.


Blow the trumpet at the new moon, At the full moon, on our feast-day.


For it is a statute for Israel, An ordinance of the God of Jacob.


He appointed it in Joseph for a testimony, When he went out over the land of Egypt, Where I heard a language that I knew not.


I removed his shoulder from the burden: His hands were freed from the basket.


Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. [Selah


Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wouldest hearken unto me!


There shall no strange god be in thee; Neither shalt thou worship any foreign god.


I am Jehovah thy God, Who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt: Open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.


But my people hearkened not to my voice; And Israel would none of me.


So I let them go after the stubbornness of their heart, That they might walk in their own counsels.


Oh that my people would hearken unto me, That Israel would walk in my ways!


I would soon subdue their enemies, And turn my hand against their adversaries.


The haters of Jehovah should submit themselves unto him: But their time should endure for ever.


He would feed them also with the finest of the wheat; And with honey out of the rock would I satisfy thee.


God standeth in the congregation of God; He judgeth among the gods.


How long will ye judge unjustly, And respect the persons of the wicked? [Selah


Judge the poor and fatherless: Do justice to the afflicted and destitute.


Rescue the poor and needy: Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.


They know not, neither do they understand; They walk to and fro in darkness: All the foundations of the earth are shaken.


I said, Ye are gods, And all of you sons of the Most High.


Nevertheless ye shall die like men, And fall like one of the princes.


Arise, O God, judge the earth; For thou shalt inherit all the nations.


O God, keep not thou silence: Hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.


For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult; And they that hate thee have lifted up the head.


They take crafty counsel against thy people, And consult together against thy hidden ones.


They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; That the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.


For they have consulted together with one consent; Against thee do they make a covenant:


The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagarenes;


Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre:


Assyria also is joined with them; They have helped the children of Lot. [Selah


Do thou unto them as unto Midian, As to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon;


Who perished at Endor, Who became as dung for the earth.


Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb; Yea, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna;


Who said, Let us take to ourselves in possession The habitations of God.


O my God, make them like the whirling dust; As stubble before the wind.


As the fire that burneth the forest, And as the flame that setteth the mountains on fire,


So pursue them with thy tempest, And terrify them with thy storm.


Fill their faces with confusion, That they may seek thy name, O Jehovah.


Let them be put to shame and dismayed for ever; Yea, let them be confounded and perish;


That they may know that thou alone, whose name is Jehovah, Art the Most High over all the earth.


How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Jehovah of hosts!


My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of Jehovah; My heart and my flesh cry out unto the living God.


Yea, the sparrow hath found her a house, And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, Even thine altars, O Jehovah of hosts, My King, and my God.


Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: They will be still praising thee. [Selah


Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; In whose heart are the highways to Zion.


Passing through the valley of Weeping they make it a place of springs; Yea, the early rain covereth it with blessings.


They go from strength to strength; Every one of them appeareth before God in Zion.


O Jehovah God of hosts, hear my prayer; Give ear, O God of Jacob. [Selah


Behold, O God our shield, And look upon the face of thine anointed.


For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, Than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.


For Jehovah God is a sun and a shield: Jehovah will give grace and glory; No good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.


O Jehovah of hosts, Blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.


Jehovah, thou hast been favorable unto thy land; Thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.


Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people; Thou hast covered all their sin. [Selah


Thou hast taken away all thy wrath; Thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger.


Turn us, O God of our salvation, And cause thine indignation toward us to cease.


Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? Wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?


Wilt thou not quicken us again, That thy people may rejoice in thee?


Show us thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, And grant us thy salvation.


I will hear what God Jehovah will speak; For he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: But let them not turn again to folly.


Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him, That glory may dwell in our land.


Mercy and truth are met together; Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.


Truth springeth out of the earth; And righteousness hath looked down from heaven.


Yea, Jehovah will give that which is good; And our land shall yield its increase.


Righteousness shall go before him, And shall make his footsteps a way to walk in.


Bow down thine ear, O Jehovah, and answer me; For I am poor and needy.


Preserve my soul; for I am godly: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.


Be merciful unto me, O Lord; For unto thee do I cry all the day long.


Rejoice the soul of thy servant; For unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.


For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive, And abundant in lovingkindness unto all them that call upon thee.


Give ear, O Jehovah, unto my prayer; And hearken unto the voice of my supplications.


In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee; For thou wilt answer me.


There is none like unto thee among the gods, O Lord; Neither are there any works like unto thy works.


All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; And they shall glorify thy name.


For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: Thou art God alone.


Teach me thy way, O Jehovah; I will walk in thy truth: Unite my heart to fear thy name.


I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart; And I will glorify thy name for evermore.


For great is thy lovingkindness toward me; And thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.


O God, the proud are risen up against me, And a company of violent men have sought after my soul, And have not set thee before them.


But thou, O Lord, art a God merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness and truth.


Oh turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; Give thy strength unto thy servant, And save the son of thy handmaid.


Show me a token for good, That they who hate me may see it, and be put to shame, Because thou, Jehovah, hast helped me, and comforted me.


His foundation is in the holy mountains.


Jehovah loveth the gates of Zion More than all the dwellings of Jacob.


Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. [Selah


I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon as among them that know me: Behold, Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia: This one was born there.


Yea, of Zion it shall be said, This one and that one was born in her; And the Most High himself will establish her.


Jehovah will count, when he writeth up the peoples, This one was born there. [Selah


They that sing as well as they that dance shall say, All my fountains are in thee.


O Jehovah, the God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee.


Let my prayer enter into thy presence; Incline thine ear unto my cry.


For my soul is full of troubles, And my life draweth nigh unto Sheol.


I am reckoned with them that go down into the pit; I am as a man that hath no help,


Cast off among the dead, Like the slain that lie in the grave, Whom thou rememberest no more, And they are cut off from thy hand.


Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, In dark places, in the deeps.


Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, And thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. [Selah


Thou hast put mine acquaintance far from me; Thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.


Mine eye wasteth away by reason of affliction: I have called daily upon thee, O Jehovah; I have spread forth my hands unto thee.


Wilt thou show wonders to the dead? Shall they that are deceased arise and praise thee? [Selah


Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? Or thy faithfulness in Destruction?


Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? And thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?


But unto thee, O Jehovah, have I cried; And in the morning shall my prayer come before thee.


Jehovah, why castest thou off my soul? Why hidest thou thy face from me?


I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: While I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.


Thy fierce wrath is gone over me; Thy terrors have cut me off.


They came round about me like water all the day long; They compassed me about together.


Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, And mine acquaintance into darkness.


I will sing of the lovingkindness of Jehovah for ever: With my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.


For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever; Thy faithfulness wilt thou establish in the very heavens.


I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant:


Thy seed will I establish for ever, And build up thy throne to all generations. [Selah


And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O Jehovah; Thy faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.


For who in the skies can be compared unto Jehovah? Who among the sons of the mighty is like unto Jehovah,


A God very terrible in the council of the holy ones, And to be feared above all them that are round about him?


O Jehovah God of hosts, Who is a mighty one, like unto thee, O Jehovah? And thy faithfulness is round about thee.


Thou rulest the pride of the sea: When the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.


Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; Thou hast scattered thine enemies with the arm of thy strength.


The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: The world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.


The north and the south, thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon rejoice in thy name.


Thou hast a mighty arm; Strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.


Righteousness and justice are the foundation of thy throne: Lovingkindness and truth go before thy face.


Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: They walk, O Jehovah, in the light of thy countenance.


In thy name do they rejoice all the day; And in thy righteousness are they exalted.


For thou art the glory of their strength; And in thy favor our horn shall be exalted.


For our shield belongeth unto Jehovah; And our king to the Holy One of Israel.


Then thou spakest in vision to thy saints, And saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.


I have found David my servant; With my holy oil have I anointed him:


With whom my hand shall be established; Mine arm also shall strengthen him.


The enemy shall not exact from him, Nor the son of wickedness afflict him.


And I will beat down his adversaries before him, And smite them that hate him.


But my faithfulness and my lovingkindness shall be with him; And in my name shall his horn be exalted.


I will set his hand also on the sea, And his right hand on the rivers.


He shall cry unto me, Thou art my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation.


I also will make him my first-born, The highest of the kings of the earth.


My lovingkindness will I keep for him for evermore; And my covenant shall stand fast with him.


His seed also will I make to endure for ever, And his throne as the days of heaven.


If his children forsake my law, And walk not in mine ordinances;


If they break my statutes, And keep not my commandments;


Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, And their iniquity with stripes.


But my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, Nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.


My covenant will I not break, Nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.


Once have I sworn by my holiness: I will not lie unto David:


His seed shall endure for ever, And his throne as the sun before me.


It shall be established for ever as the moon, And as the faithful witness in the sky. [Selah


But thou hast cast off and rejected, Thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.


Thou hast abhorred the covenant of thy servant: Thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.


Thou hast broken down all his hedges; Thou hast brought his strongholds to ruin.


All that pass by the way rob him: He is become a reproach to his neighbors.


Thou hast exalted the right hand of his adversaries; Thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.


Yea, thou turnest back the edge of his sword, And hast not made him to stand in the battle.


Thou hast made his brightness to cease, And cast his throne down to the ground.


The days of his youth hast thou shortened: Thou hast covered him with shame. [Selah


How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? How long shall thy wrath burn like fire?


Oh remember how short my time is: For what vanity hast thou created all the children of men!


What man is he that shall live and not see death, That shall deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? [Selah


Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, Which thou swarest unto David in thy faithfulness?


Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; How I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty peoples,


Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O Jehovah, Wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.


Blessed be Jehovah for evermore. Amen, and Amen.


Lord, thou hast been our dwelling-place In all generations.


Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.


Thou turnest man to destruction, And sayest, Return, ye children of men.


For a thousand years in thy sight Are but as yesterday when it is past, And as a watch in the night.


Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: In the morning they are like grass which groweth up.


In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; In the evening it is cut down, and withereth.


For we are consumed in thine anger, And in thy wrath are we troubled.


Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, Our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.


For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: We bring our years to an end as a sigh.


The days of our years are threescore years and ten, Or even by reason of strength fourscore years; Yet is their pride but labor and sorrow; For it is soon gone, and we fly away.


Who knoweth the power of thine anger, And thy wrath according to the fear that is due unto thee?


So teach us to number our days, That we may get us a heart of wisdom.


Return, O Jehovah; how long? And let it repent thee concerning thy servants.


Oh satisfy us in the morning with thy lovingkindness, That we may rejoice and be glad all our days.


Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, And the years wherein we have seen evil.


Let thy work appear unto thy servants, And thy glory upon their children.


And let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us; And establish thou the work of our hands upon us; Yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.


He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.


I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in whom I trust.


For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the deadly pestilence.


He will cover thee with his pinions, And under his wings shalt thou take refuge: His truth is a shield and a buckler.


Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, Nor for the arrow that flieth by day;


For the pestilence that walketh in darkness, Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.


A thousand shall fall at thy side, And ten thousand at thy right hand; But it shall not come nigh thee.


Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, And see the reward of the wicked.


For thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge! Thou hast made the Most High thy habitation;


There shall no evil befall thee, Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.


For he will give his angels charge over thee, To keep thee in all thy ways.


They shall bear thee up in their hands, Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.


Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: The young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under foot.


Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.


He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble: I will deliver him, and honor him.


With long life will I satisfy him, And show him my salvation.


It is a good thing to give thanks unto Jehovah, And to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High;


To show forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, And thy faithfulness every night,


With an instrument of ten strings, and with the psaltery; With a solemn sound upon the harp.


For thou, Jehovah, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.


How great are thy works, O Jehovah! Thy thoughts are very deep.


A brutish man knoweth not; Neither doth a fool understand this:


When the wicked spring as the grass, And when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; It is that they shall be destroyed for ever.


But thou, O Jehovah, art on high for evermore.


For, lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah, For, lo, thine enemies shall perish; All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.


But my horn hast thou exalted like the horn of the wild-ox: I am anointed with fresh oil.


Mine eye also hath seen my desire on mine enemies, Mine ears have heard my desire of the evil-doers that rise up against me.


The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree: He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.


They are planted in the house of Jehovah; They shall flourish in the courts of our God.


They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; They shall be full of sap and green:


To show that Jehovah is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.


Jehovah reigneth; he is clothed with majesty; Jehovah is clothed with strength; he hath girded himself therewith: The world also is established, that it cannot be moved.


Thy throne is established of old: Thou art from everlasting.


The floods have lifted up, O Jehovah, The floods have lifted up their voice; The floods lift up their waves.


Above the voices of many waters, The mighty breakers of the sea, Jehovah on high is mighty.


Thy testimonies are very sure: Holiness becometh thy house, O Jehovah, for evermore.


O Jehovah, thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, shine forth.


Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: Render to the proud their desert.


Jehovah, how long shall the wicked, How long shall the wicked triumph?


They prate, they speak arrogantly: All the workers of iniquity boast themselves.


They break in pieces thy people, O Jehovah, And afflict thy heritage.


They slay the widow and the sojourner, And murder the fatherless.


And they say, Jehovah will not see, Neither will the God of Jacob consider.


Consider, ye brutish among the people; And ye fools, when will ye be wise?


He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? He that formed the eye, shall he not see?


He that chastiseth the nations, shall not he correct, Even he that teacheth man knowledge?


Jehovah knoweth the thoughts of man, That they are vanity.


Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Jehovah, And teachest out of thy law;


That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, Until the pit be digged for the wicked.


For Jehovah will not cast off his people, Neither will he forsake his inheritance.


For judgment shall return unto righteousness; And all the upright in heart shall follow it.


Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?


Unless Jehovah had been my help, My soul had soon dwelt in silence.


When I said, My foot slippeth; Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, held me up.


In the multitude of my thoughts within me Thy comforts delight my soul.


Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with thee, Which frameth mischief by statute?


They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, And condemn the innocent blood.


But Jehovah hath been my high tower, And my God the rock of my refuge.


And he hath brought upon them their own iniquity, And will cut them off in their own wickedness; Jehovah our God will cut them off.


Oh come, let us sing unto Jehovah; Let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.


Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving; Let us make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.


For Jehovah is a great God, And a great King above all gods.


In his hand are the deep places of the earth; The heights of the mountains are his also.


The sea is his, and he made it; And his hands formed the dry land.


Oh come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before Jehovah our Maker:


For he is our God, And we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To-day, oh that ye would hear his voice!


Harden not your heart, as at Meribah, As in the day of Massah in the wilderness;


When your fathers tempted me, Proved me, and saw my work.


Forty years long was I grieved with that generation, And said, It is a people that do err in their heart, And they have not known my ways:


Wherefore I sware in my wrath, That they should not enter into my rest.


Oh sing unto Jehovah a new song: Sing unto Jehovah, all the earth.


Sing unto Jehovah, bless his name; Show forth his salvation from day to day.


Declare his glory among the nations, His marvellous works among all the peoples.


For great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised: He is to be feared above all gods.


For all the gods of the peoples are idols; But Jehovah made the heavens.


Honor and majesty are before him: Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.


Ascribe unto Jehovah, ye kindreds of the peoples, Ascribe unto Jehovah glory and strength.


Ascribe unto Jehovah the glory due unto his name: Bring an offering, and come into his courts.


Oh worship Jehovah in holy array: Tremble before him, all the earth.


Say among the nations, Jehovah reigneth: The world also is established that it cannot be moved: He will judge the peoples with equity.


Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof;


Let the field exult, and all that is therein; Then shall all the trees of the wood sing for joy


Before Jehovah; for he cometh, For he cometh to judge the earth: He will judge the world with righteousness, And the peoples with his truth.


Jehovah reigneth; let the earth rejoice; Let the multitude of isles be glad.


Clouds and darkness are round about him: Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.


A fire goeth before him, And burneth up his adversaries round about.


His lightnings lightened the world: The earth saw, and trembled.


The mountains melted like wax at the presence of Jehovah, At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.


The heavens declare his righteousness, And all the peoples have seen his glory.


Let all them be put to shame that serve graven images, That boast themselves of idols: Worship him, all ye gods.


Zion heard and was glad, And the daughters of Judah rejoiced, Because of thy judgments, O Jehovah.


For thou, Jehovah, art most high above all the earth: Thou art exalted far above all gods.


O ye that love Jehovah, hate evil: He preserveth the souls of his saints; He delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.


Light is sown for the righteous, And gladness for the upright in heart.


Be glad in Jehovah, ye righteous; And give thanks to his holy memorial name.


Oh sing unto Jehovah a new song; For he hath done marvellous things: His right hand, and his holy arm, hath wrought salvation for him.


Jehovah hath made known his salvation: His righteousness hath he openly showed in the sight of the nations.


He hath remembered his lovingkindness and his faithfulness toward the house of Israel: All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.


Make a joyful noise unto Jehovah, all the earth: Break forth and sing for joy, yea, sing praises.


Sing praises unto Jehovah with the harp; With the harp and the voice of melody.


With trumpets and sound of cornet Make a joyful noise before the King, Jehovah.


Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; The world, and they that dwell therein;


Let the floods clap their hands; Let the hills sing for joy together


Before Jehovah; for he cometh to judge the earth: He will judge the world with righteousness, And the peoples with equity.


Jehovah reigneth; let the peoples tremble: He sitteth above the cherubim; let the earth be moved.


Jehovah is great in Zion; And he is high above all the peoples.


Let them praise thy great and terrible name: Holy is he.


The king's strength also loveth justice; Thou dost establish equity; Thou executest justice and righteousness in Jacob.


Exalt ye Jehovah our God, And worship at his footstool: Holy is he.


Moses and Aaron among his priests, And Samuel among them that call upon his name; They called upon Jehovah, and he answered them.


He spake unto them in the pillar of cloud: They kept his testimonies, And the statute that he gave them.


Thou answeredst them, O Jehovah our God: Thou wast a God that forgavest them, Though thou tookest vengeance of their doings.


Exalt ye Jehovah our God, And worship at his holy hill; For Jehovah our God is holy.


Make a joyful noise unto Jehovah, all ye lands.


Serve Jehovah with gladness: Come before his presence with singing.


Know ye that Jehovah, he is God: It is he that hath made us, and we are his; We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.


Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, And into his courts with praise: Give thanks unto him, and bless his name.


For Jehovah is good; his lovingkindness endureth for ever, And his faithfulness unto all generations.


I will sing of lovingkindness and justice: Unto thee, O Jehovah, will I sing praises.


I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way: Oh when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.


I will set no base thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; It shall not cleave unto me.


A perverse heart shall depart from me: I will know no evil thing.


Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I destroy: Him that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not suffer.


Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: He that walketh in a perfect way, he shall minister unto me.


He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: He that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes.


Morning by morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land; To cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of Jehovah.


Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, And let my cry come unto thee.


Hide not thy face from me in the day of my distress: Incline thine ear unto me; In the day when I call answer me speedily.


For my days consume away like smoke, And my bones are burned as a firebrand.


My heart is smitten like grass, and withered; For I forget to eat my bread.


By reason of the voice of my groaning My bones cleave to my flesh.


I am like a pelican of the wilderness; I am become as an owl of the waste places.


I watch, and am become like a sparrow That is alone upon the house-top.


Mine enemies reproach me all the day; They that are mad against me do curse by me.


For I have eaten ashes like bread, And mingled my drink with weeping,


Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: For thou hast taken me up, and cast me away.


My days are like a shadow that declineth; And I am withered like grass.


But thou, O Jehovah, wilt abide for ever; And thy memorial name unto all generations.


Thou wilt arise, and have mercy upon Zion; For it is time to have pity upon her, Yea, the set time is come.


For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, And have pity upon her dust.


So the nations shall fear the name of Jehovah, And all the kings of the earth thy glory.


For Jehovah hath built up Zion; He hath appeared in his glory.


He hath regarded the prayer of the destitute, And hath not despised their prayer.


This shall be written for the generation to come; And a people which shall be created shall praise Jehovah.


For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; From heaven did Jehovah behold the earth;


To hear the sighing of the prisoner; To loose those that are appointed to death;


That men may declare the name of Jehovah in Zion, And his praise in Jerusalem;


When the peoples are gathered together, And the kingdoms, to serve Jehovah.


He weakened my strength in the way; He shortened my days.


I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: Thy years are throughout all generations.


Of old didst thou lay the foundation of the earth; And the heavens are the work of thy hands.


They shall perish, but thou shalt endure; Yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; As a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:


But thou art the same, And thy years shall have no end.


The children of thy servants shall continue, And their seed shall be established before thee.


Bless Jehovah, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless his holy name.


Bless Jehovah, O my soul, And forget not all his benefits:


Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; Who healeth all thy diseases;


Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;


Who satisfieth thy desire with good things, So that thy youth is renewed like the eagle.


Jehovah executeth righteous acts, And judgments for all that are oppressed.


He made known his ways unto Moses, His doings unto the children of Israel.


Jehovah is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness.


He will not always chide; Neither will he keep his anger for ever.


He hath not dealt with us after our sins, Nor rewarded us after our iniquities.


For as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is his lovingkindness toward them that fear him.


As far as the east is from the west, So far hath he removed our transgressions from us.


Like as a father pitieth his children, So Jehovah pitieth them that fear him.


For he knoweth our frame; He remembereth that we are dust.


As for man, his days are as grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.


For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; And the place thereof shall know it no more.


But the lovingkindness of Jehovah is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, And his righteousness unto children's children;


To such as keep his covenant, And to those that remember his precepts to do them.


Jehovah hath established his throne in the heavens; And his kingdom ruleth over all.


Bless Jehovah, ye his angels, That are mighty in strength, that fulfil his word, Hearkening unto the voice of his word.


Bless Jehovah, all ye his hosts, Ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.


Bless Jehovah, all ye his works, In all places of his dominion: Bless Jehovah, O my soul.


Bless Jehovah, O my soul. O Jehovah my God, thou art very great; Thou art clothed with honor and majesty:


Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment; Who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain;


Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters; Who maketh the clouds his chariot; Who walketh upon the wings of the wind;


Who maketh winds his messengers; Flames of fire his ministers;


Who laid the foundations of the earth, That it should not be moved for ever.


Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a vesture; The waters stood above the mountains.


At thy rebuke they fled; At the voice of thy thunder they hasted away


(The mountains rose, the valleys sank down) Unto the place which thou hadst founded for them.


Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; That they turn not again to cover the earth.


He sendeth forth springs into the valleys; They run among the mountains;


They give drink to every beast of the field; The wild asses quench their thirst.


By them the birds of the heavens have their habitation; They sing among the branches.


He watereth the mountains from his chambers: The earth is filled with the fruit of thy works.


He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, And herb for the service of man; That he may bring forth food out of the earth,


And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, And oil to make his face to shine, And bread that strengtheneth man's heart.


The trees of Jehovah are filled with moisture, The cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;


Where the birds make their nests: As for the stork, the fir-trees are her house.


The high mountains are for the wild goats; The rocks are a refuge for the conies.


He appointed the moon for seasons: The sun knoweth his going down.


Thou makest darkness, and it is night, Wherein all the beasts of the forest creep forth.


The young lions roar after their prey, And seek their food from God.


The sun ariseth, they get them away, And lay them down in their dens.


Man goeth forth unto his work And to his labor until the evening.


O Jehovah, how manifold are thy works! In wisdom hast thou made them all: The earth is full of thy riches.


Yonder is the sea, great and wide, Wherein are things creeping innumerable, Both small and great beasts.


There go the ships; There is leviathan, whom thou hast formed to play therein.


These wait all for thee, That thou mayest give them their food in due season.


Thou givest unto them, they gather; Thou openest thy hand, they are satisfied with good.


Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; Thou takest away their breath, they die, And return to their dust.


Thou sendest forth thy Spirit, they are created; And thou renewest the face of the ground.


Let the glory of Jehovah endure for ever; Let Jehovah rejoice in his works:


Who looketh on the earth, and it trembleth; He toucheth the mountains, and they smoke.


I will sing unto Jehovah as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.


Let my meditation be sweet unto him: I will rejoice in Jehovah.


Let sinners be consumed out of the earth. And let the wicked be no more. Bless Jehovah, O my soul. Praise ye Jehovah.


Oh give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name; Make known among the peoples his doings.


Sing unto him, sing praises unto him; Talk ye of all his marvellous works.


Glory ye in his holy name: Let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah.


Seek ye Jehovah and his strength; Seek his face evermore.


Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,


O ye seed of Abraham his servant, Ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.


He is Jehovah our God: His judgments are in all the earth.


He hath remembered his covenant for ever, The word which he commanded to a thousand generations,


The covenant which he made with Abraham, And his oath unto Isaac,


And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a statute, To Israel for an everlasting covenant,


Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance;


When they were but a few men in number, Yea, very few, and sojourners in it.


And they went about from nation to nation, From one kingdom to another people.


He suffered no man to do them wrong; Yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,


Saying, Touch not mine anointed ones, And do my prophets no harm.


And he called for a famine upon the land; He brake the whole staff of bread.


He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a servant:


His feet they hurt with fetters: He was laid in chains of iron,


Until the time that his word came to pass, The word of Jehovah tried him.


The king sent and loosed him; Even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.


He made him lord of his house, And ruler of all his substance;


To bind his princes at his pleasure, And teach his elders wisdom.


Israel also came into Egypt; And Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.


And he increased his people greatly, And made them stronger than their adversaries.


He turned their heart to hate his people, To deal subtly with his servants.


He sent Moses his servant, And Aaron whom he had chosen.


They set among them his signs, And wonders in the land of Ham.


He sent darkness, and made it dark; And they rebelled not against his words.


He turned their waters into blood, And slew their fish.


Their land swarmed with frogs In the chambers of their kings.


He spake, and there came swarms of flies, And lice in all their borders.


He gave them hail for rain, And flaming fire in their land.


He smote their vines also and their fig-trees, And brake the trees of their borders.


He spake, and the locust came, And the grasshopper, and that without number,


And did eat up every herb in their land, And did eat up the fruit of their ground.


He smote also all the first-born in their land, The chief of all their strength.


And he brought them forth with silver and gold; And there was not one feeble person among his tribes.


Egypt was glad when they departed; For the fear of them had fallen upon them.


He spread a cloud for a covering, And fire to give light in the night.


They asked, and he brought quails, And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.


He opened the rock, and waters gushed out; They ran in the dry places like a river.


For he remembered his holy word, And Abraham his servant.


And he brought forth his people with joy, And his chosen with singing.


And he gave them the lands of the nations; And they took the labor of the peoples in possession:


That they might keep his statutes, And observe his laws. Praise ye Jehovah.


Praise ye Jehovah. Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.


Who can utter the mighty acts of Jehovah, Or show forth all his praise?


Blessed are they that keep justice, And he that doeth righteousness at all times.


Remember me, O Jehovah, with the favor that thou bearest unto thy people; Oh visit me with thy salvation,


That I may see the prosperity of thy chosen, That I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, That I may glory with thine inheritance.


We have sinned with our fathers, We have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.


Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; They remembered not the multitude of thy lovingkindnesses, But were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.


Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, That he might make his mighty power to be known.


He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up: So he led them through the depths, as through a wilderness.


And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.


And the waters covered their adversaries; There was not one of them left.


Then believed they his words; They sang his praise.


They soon forgat his works; They waited not for his counsel,


But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, And tempted God in the desert.


And he gave them their request, But sent leanness into their soul.


They envied Moses also in the camp, And Aaron the saint of Jehovah.


The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, And covered the company of Abiram.


And a fire was kindled in their company; The flame burned up the wicked.


They made a calf in Horeb, And worshipped a molten image.


Thus they changed their glory For the likeness of an ox that eateth grass.


They forgat God their Saviour, Who had done great things in Egypt,


Wondrous works in the land of Ham, And terrible things by the Red Sea.


Therefore he said that he would destroy them, Had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, To turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.


Yea, they despised the pleasant land, They believed not his word,


But murmured in their tents, And hearkened not unto the voice of Jehovah.


Therefore he sware unto them, That he would overthrow them in the wilderness,


And that he would overthrow their seed among the nations, And scatter them in the lands.


They joined themselves also unto Baal-peor, And ate the sacrifices of the dead.


Thus they provoked him to anger with their doings; And the plague brake in upon them.


Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment; And so the plague was stayed.


And that was reckoned unto him for righteousness, Unto all generations for evermore.


They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, So that it went ill with Moses for their sakes;


Because they were rebellious against his spirit, And he spake unadvisedly with his lips.


They did not destroy the peoples, As Jehovah commanded them,


But mingled themselves with the nations, And learned their works,


And served their idols, Which became a snare unto them.


Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto demons,


And shed innocent blood, Even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, Whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan; And the land was polluted with blood.


Thus were they defiled with their works, And played the harlot in their doings.


Therefore was the wrath of Jehovah kindled against his people, And he abhorred his inheritance.


And he gave them into the hand of the nations; And they that hated them ruled over them.


Their enemies also oppressed them, And they were brought into subjection under their hand.


Many times did he deliver them; But they were rebellious in their counsel, And were brought low in their iniquity.


Nevertheless he regarded their distress, When he heard their cry:


And he remembered for them his covenant, And repented according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.


He made them also to be pitied Of all those that carried them captive.


Save us, O Jehovah our God, And gather us from among the nations, To give thanks unto thy holy name, And to triumph in thy praise.


Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting even to everlasting. And let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye Jehovah.


O give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.


Let the redeemed of Jehovah say so, Whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the adversary,


And gathered out of the lands, From the east and from the west, From the north and from the south.


They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way; They found no city of habitation.


Hungry and thirsty, Their soul fainted in them.


Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble, And he delivered them out of their distresses,


He led them also by a straight way, That they might go to a city of habitation.


Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men!


For he satisfieth the longing soul, And the hungry soul he filleth with good.


Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, Being bound in affliction and iron,


Because they rebelled against the words of God, And contemned the counsel of the Most High:


Therefore he brought down their heart with labor; They fell down, and there was none to help.


Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble, And he saved them out of their distresses.


He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, And brake their bonds in sunder.


For he hath broken the gates of brass, And cut the bars of iron in sunder.


Fools because of their transgression, And because of their iniquities, are afflicted.


Their soul abhorreth all manner of food; And they draw near unto the gates of death.


Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble, And he saveth them out of their distresses.


He sendeth his word, and healeth them, And delivereth them from their destructions.


And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, And declare his works with singing.


They that go down to the sea in ships, That do business in great waters;


These see the works of Jehovah, And his wonders in the deep.


For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, Which lifteth up the waves thereof.


They mount up to the heavens, they go down again to the depths: Their soul melteth away because of trouble.


They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, And are at their wits' end.


Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble, And he bringeth them out of their distresses.


He maketh the storm a calm, So that the waves thereof are still.


Then are they glad because they are quiet; So he bringeth them unto their desired haven.


Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men!


Let them exalt him also in the assembly of the people, And praise him in the seat of the elders.


He turneth rivers into a wilderness, And watersprings into a thirsty ground;


A fruitful land into a salt desert, For the wickedness of them that dwell therein.


He turneth a wilderness into a pool of water, And a dry land into watersprings.


And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, That they may prepare a city of habitation,


And sow fields, and plant vineyards, And get them fruits of increase.


He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; And he suffereth not their cattle to decrease.


Again, they are diminished and bowed down Through oppression, trouble, and sorrow.


He poureth contempt upon princes, And causeth them to wander in the waste, where there is no way.


Yet setteth he the needy on high from affliction, And maketh him families like a flock.


The upright shall see it, and be glad; And all iniquity shall stop her mouth.


Whoso is wise will give heed to these things; And they will consider the lovingkindnesses of Jehovah.


My heart is fixed, O God; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises, even with my glory.


Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake right early.


I will give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah, among the peoples; And I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.


For thy lovingkindness is great above the heavens; And thy truth reacheth unto the skies.


Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, And thy glory above all the earth.


That thy beloved may be delivered, Save with thy right hand, and answer us.


God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult; I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.


Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre.


Moab is my washpot; Upon Edom will I cast my shoe; Over Philistia will I shout.


Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who hath led me unto Edom?


Hast not thou cast us off, O God? And thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.


Give us help against the adversary; For vain is the help of man.


Through God we shall do valiantly: For he it is that will tread down our adversaries.


Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;


For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit have they opened against me: They have spoken unto me with a lying tongue.


They have compassed me about also with words of hatred, And fought against me without a cause.


For my love they are my adversaries: But I give myself unto prayer.


And they have rewarded me evil for good, And hatred for my love.


Set thou a wicked man over him; And let an adversary stand at his right hand.


When he is judged, let him come forth guilty; And let his prayer be turned into sin.


Let his days be few; And let another take his office.


Let his children be fatherless, And his wife a widow.


Let his children be vagabonds, and beg; And let them seek their bread out of their desolate places.


Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; And let strangers make spoil of his labor.


Let there be none to extend kindness unto him; Neither let there be any to have pity on his fatherless children.


Let his posterity be cut off; In the generation following let their name be blotted out.


Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with Jehovah; And let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.


Let them be before Jehovah continually, That he may cut off the memory of them from the earth;


Because he remembered not to show kindness, But persecuted the poor and needy man, And the broken in heart, to slay them.


Yea, he loved cursing, and it came unto him; And he delighted not in blessing, and it was far from him.


He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment, And it came into his inward parts like water, And like oil into his bones.


Let it be unto him as the raiment wherewith he covereth himself, And for the girdle wherewith he is girded continually.


This is the reward of mine adversaries from Jehovah, And of them that speak evil against my soul.


But deal thou with me, O Jehovah the Lord, for thy name's sake: Because thy lovingkindness is good, deliver thou me;


For I am poor and needy, And my heart is wounded within me.


I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.


My knees are weak through fasting; And my flesh faileth of fatness.


I am become also a reproach unto them: When they see me, they shake their head.


Help me, O Jehovah my God; Oh save me according to thy lovingkindness:


That they may know that this is thy hand; That thou, Jehovah, hast done it.


Let them curse, but bless thou: When they arise, they shall be put to shame, But thy servant shall rejoice.


Let mine adversaries be clothed with dishonor, And let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.


I will give great thanks unto Jehovah with my mouth; Yea, I will praise him among the multitude.


For he will stand at the right hand of the needy, To save him from them that judge his soul.


Jehovah saith unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, Until I make thine enemies thy footstool.


Jehovah will send forth the rod of thy strength out of Zion: Rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.


Thy people offer themselves willingly In the day of thy power, in holy array: Out of the womb of the morning Thou hast the dew of thy youth.


Jehovah hath sworn, and will not repent: Thou art a priest for ever After the order of Melchizedek.


The Lord at thy right hand Will strike through kings in the day of his wrath.


He will judge among the nations, He will fill the places with dead bodies; He will strike through the head in many countries.


He will drink of the brook in the way: Therefore will he lift up the head.


Praise ye Jehovah. I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart, In the council of the upright, and in the congregation.


The works of Jehovah are great, Sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.


His work is honor and majesty; And his righteousness endureth for ever.


He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: Jehovah is gracious and merciful.


He hath given food unto them that fear him: He will ever be mindful of his covenant.


He hath showed his people the power of his works, In giving them the heritage of the nations.


The works of his hands are truth and justice; All his precepts are sure.


They are established for ever and ever; They are done in truth and uprightness.


He hath sent redemption unto his people; He hath commanded his covenant for ever: Holy and reverend is his name.


The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all they that do his commandments: His praise endureth for ever.


Praise ye Jehovah. Blessed is the man that feareth Jehovah, That delighteth greatly in his commandments.


His seed shall be mighty upon earth: The generation of the upright shall be blessed.


Wealth and riches are in his house; And his righteousness endureth for ever.


Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: He is gracious, and merciful, and righteous.


Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth; He shall maintain his cause in judgment.


For he shall never be moved; The righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance.


He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: His heart is fixed, trusting in Jehovah.


His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, Until he see his desire upon his adversaries.


He hath dispersed, he hath given to the needy; His righteousness endureth for ever: His horn shall be exalted with honor.


The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: The desire of the wicked shall perish.


Praise ye Jehovah. Praise, O ye servants of Jehovah, Praise the name of Jehovah.


Blessed be the name of Jehovah From this time forth and for evermore.


From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same Jehovah's name is to be praised.


Jehovah is high above all nations, And his glory above the heavens.


Who is like unto Jehovah our God, That hath his seat on high,


That humbleth himself to behold The things that are in heaven and in the earth?


He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, And lifteth up the needy from the dunghill;


That he may set him with princes, Even with the princes of his people.


He maketh the barren woman to keep house, And to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye Jehovah.


When Israel went forth out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language;


Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.


The sea saw it, and fled; The Jordan was driven back.


The mountains skipped like rams, The little hills like lambs.


What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest? Thou Jordan, that thou turnest back?


Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; Ye little hills, like lambs?


Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Jacob,


Who turned the rock into a pool of water, The flint into a fountain of waters.


Not unto us, O Jehovah, not unto us, But unto thy name give glory, For thy lovingkindness, and for thy truth's sake.


Wherefore should the nations say, Where is now their God?


But our God is in the heavens: He hath done whatsoever he pleased.


Their idols are silver and gold, The work of men's hands.


They have mouths, but they speak not; Eyes have they, but they see not;


They have ears, but they hear not; Noses have they, but they smell not;


They have hands, but they handle not; Feet have they, but they walk not; Neither speak they through their throat.


They that make them shall be like unto them; Yea, every one that trusteth in them.


O Israel, trust thou in Jehovah: He is their help and their shield.


O house of Aaron, trust ye in Jehovah: He is their help and their shield.


Ye that fear Jehovah, trust in Jehovah: He is their help and their shield.


Jehovah hath been mindful of us; he will bless us: He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron.


He will bless them that fear Jehovah, Both small and great.


Jehovah increase you more and more, You and your children.


Blessed are ye of Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth.


The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah; But the earth hath he given to the children of men.


The dead praise not Jehovah, Neither any that go down into silence;


But we will bless Jehovah From this time forth and for evermore. Praise ye Jehovah.


I love Jehovah, because he heareth My voice and my supplications.


Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, Therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.


The cords of death compassed me, And the pains of Sheol gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.


Then called I upon the name of Jehovah: O Jehovah, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.


Gracious is Jehovah, and righteous; Yea, our God is merciful.


Jehovah preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he saved me.


Return unto thy rest, O my soul; For Jehovah hath dealt bountifully with thee.


For thou hast delivered my soul from death, Mine eyes from tears, And my feet from falling.


I will walk before Jehovah In the land of the living.


I believe, for I will speak: I was greatly afflicted:


I said in my haste, All men are liars.


What shall I render unto Jehovah For all his benefits toward me?


I will take the cup of salvation, And call upon the name of Jehovah.


I will pay my vows unto Jehovah, Yea, in the presence of all his people.


Precious in the sight of Jehovah Is the death of his saints.


O Jehovah, truly I am thy servant: I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid; Thou hast loosed my bonds.


I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, And will call upon the name of Jehovah.


I will pay my vows unto Jehovah, Yea, in the presence of all his people,


In the courts of Jehovah's house, In the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye Jehovah.


O praise Jehovah, all ye nations; Laud him, all ye peoples.


For his lovingkindness is great toward us; And the truth of Jehovah endureth for ever. Praise ye Jehovah.


Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.


Let Israel now say, That his lovingkindness endureth for ever.


Let the house of Aaron now say, That his lovingkindness endureth for ever.


Let them now that fear Jehovah say, That his lovingkindness endureth for ever.


Out of my distress I called upon Jehovah: Jehovah answered me and set me in a large place.


Jehovah is on my side; I will not fear: What can man do unto me?


Jehovah is on my side among them that help me: Therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.


It is better to take refuge in Jehovah Than to put confidence in man.


It is better to take refuge in Jehovah Than to put confidence in princes.


All nations compassed me about: In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off.


They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off.


They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off.


Thou didst thrust sore at me that I might fall; But Jehovah helped me.


Jehovah is my strength and song; And he is become my salvation.


The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous: The right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly.


The right hand of Jehovah is exalted: The right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly.


I shall not die, but live, And declare the works of Jehovah.


Jehovah hath chastened me sore; But he hath not given me over unto death.


Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will enter into them, I will give thanks unto Jehovah.


This is the gate of Jehovah; The righteous shall enter into it.


I will give thanks unto thee; for thou hast answered me, And art become my salvation.


The stone which the builders rejected Is become the head of the corner.


This is Jehovah's doing; It is marvellous in our eyes.


This is the day which Jehovah hath made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.


Save now, we beseech thee, O Jehovah: O Jehovah, we beseech thee, send now prosperity.


Blessed be he that cometh in the name of Jehovah: We have blessed you out of the house of Jehovah.


Jehovah is God, and he hath given us light: Bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.


Thou art my God, and I will give thanks unto thee: Thou art my God, I will exalt thee.


Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.


Blessed are they that are perfect in the way, Who walk in the law of Jehovah.


Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, That seek him with the whole heart.


Yea, they do no unrighteousness; They walk in his ways.


Thou hast commanded us thy precepts, That we should observe them diligently.


Oh that my ways were established To observe thy statutes!


Then shall I not be put to shame, When I have respect unto all thy commandments.


I will give thanks unto thee with uprightness of heart, When I learn thy righteous judgments.


I will observe thy statutes: Oh forsake me not utterly. ב BETH.


Wherewith shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed thereto according to thy word.


With my whole heart have I sought thee: Oh let me not wander from thy commandments.


Thy word have I laid up in my heart, That I might not sin against thee.


Blessed art thou, O Jehovah: Teach me thy statutes.


With my lips have I declared All the ordinances of thy mouth.


I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, As much as in all riches.


I will meditate on thy precepts, And have respect unto thy ways.


I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word. ג GIMEL.


Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live; So will I observe thy word.


Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold Wondrous things out of thy law.


I am a sojourner in the earth: Hide not thy commandments from me.


My soul breaketh for the longing That it hath unto thine ordinances at all times.


Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, That do wander from thy commandments.


Take away from me reproach and contempt; For I have kept thy testimonies.


Princes also sat and talked against me; But thy servant did meditate on thy statutes.


Thy testimonies also are my delight And my counsellors. ד DALETH.


My soul cleaveth unto the dust: Quicken thou me according to thy word.

Remove from me the way of falsehood; And grant me thy law graciously.


I have chosen the way of faithfulness: Thine ordinances have I set before me.


I cleave unto thy testimonies: O Jehovah, put me not to shame.


I will run the way of thy commandments, When thou shalt enlarge my heart. ה HE.


Teach me, O Jehovah, the way of thy statutes; And I shall keep it unto the end.


Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; Yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.


Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; For therein do I delight.


Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, And not to covetousness.


Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity, And quicken me in thy ways.


Confirm unto thy servant thy word, Which is in order unto the fear of thee.


Turn away my reproach whereof I am afraid; For thine ordinances are good.


Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: Quicken me in thy righteousness. ו VAV.

For I am become like a wine-skin in the smoke; Yet do I not forget thy statutes.


How many are the days of thy servant? When wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?


The proud have digged pits for me, Who are not according to thy law.


All thy commandments are faithful: They persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.
