English YLT 1898 Bible
Chapter # Verse # Verse Detail
11O the happiness of that one, who Hath not walked in the counsel of the wicked. And in the way of sinners hath not stood, And in the seat of scorners hath not sat;
12But -- in the law of Jehovah [is] his delight, And in His law he doth meditate by day and by night:
13And he hath been as a tree, Planted by rivulets of water, That giveth its fruit in its season, And its leaf doth not wither, And all that he doth he causeth to prosper.
14Not so the wicked: But -- as chaff that wind driveth away!
15Therefore the wicked rise not in judgment, Nor sinners in the company of the righteous,
16For Jehovah is knowing the way of the righteous, And the way of the wicked is lost!
21Why have nations tumultuously assembled? And do peoples meditate vanity?
22Station themselves do kings of the earth, And princes have been united together, Against Jehovah, and against His Messiah:
23`Let us draw off Their cords, And cast from us Their thick bands.`
24He who is sitting in the heavens doth laugh, The Lord doth mock at them.
25Then doth He speak unto them in His anger, And in His wrath He doth trouble them:
26`And I -- I have anointed My King, Upon Zion -- My holy hill.`
27I declare concerning a statute: Jehovah said unto me, `My Son Thou [art], I to-day have brought thee forth.
28Ask of Me and I give nations -- thy inheritance, And thy possession -- the ends of earth.
29Thou dost rule them with a sceptre of iron, As a vessel of a potter Thou dost crush them.`
210And now, O kings, act wisely, Be instructed, O judges of earth,
211Serve ye Jehovah with fear, And rejoice with trembling.
212Kiss the Chosen One, lest He be angry, And ye lose the way, When His anger burneth but a little, O the happiness of all trusting in Him!
31A Psalm of David, in his fleeing from the face of Absalom his son. Jehovah, how have my distresses multiplied! Many are rising up against me.
32Many are saying of my soul, `There is no salvation for him in God.` Selah.
33And Thou, O Jehovah, [art] a shield for me, My honour, and lifter up of my head.
34My voice [is] unto Jehovah: I call: And He answereth me from his holy hill, Selah.
35I -- I have lain down, and I sleep, I have waked, for Jehovah sustaineth me.
36I am not afraid of myriads of people, That round about they have set against me.
37Rise, O Jehovah! save me, my God. Because Thou hast smitten All mine enemies [on] the cheek. The teeth of the wicked Thou hast broken.
38Of Jehovah [is] this salvation; On Thy people [is] Thy blessing! Selah.
41To the Overseer with Stringed Instruments. -- A Psalm of David. In my calling answer Thou me, O God of my righteousness. In adversity Thou gavest enlargement to me; Favour me, and hear my prayer.
42Sons of men! till when [is] my glory for shame? Ye love a vain thing, ye seek a lie. Selah.
43And know ye that Jehovah Hath separated a saintly one to Himself. Jehovah heareth in my calling to Him.
44`Tremble ye, and do not sin;` Say ye [thus] in your heart on your bed, And be ye silent. Selah.
45Sacrifice ye sacrifices of righteousness, And trust ye unto Jehovah.
46Many are saying, `Who doth show us good?` Lift on us the light of Thy face, O Jehovah,
47Thou hast given joy in my heart, From the time their corn and their wine Have been multiplied.
48In peace together I lie down and sleep, For Thou, O Jehovah, alone, In confidence dost cause me to dwell!
51To the Overseer, `Concerning the Inheritances.` -- A Psalm of David. My sayings hear, O Jehovah, Consider my meditation.
52Be attentive to the voice of my cry, My king and my God, For unto Thee I pray habitually.
53Jehovah, [at] morning Thou hearest my voice, [At] morning I set in array for Thee, And I look out.
54For not a God desiring wickedness [art] Thou, Evil inhabiteth Thee not.
55The boastful station not themselves before Thine eyes: Thou hast hated all working iniquity.
56Thou destroyest those speaking lies, A man of blood and deceit Jehovah doth abominate.
57And I, in the abundance of Thy kindness, I enter Thy house, I bow myself toward Thy holy temple in Thy fear.
58O Jehovah, lead me in Thy righteousness, Because of those observing me, Make straight before me Thy way,
59For there is no stability in their mouth. Their heart [is] mischiefs, An open grave [is] their throat, Their tongue they make smooth.
510Declare them guilty, O God, Let them fall from their own counsels, In the abundance of their transgressions Drive them away, Because they have rebelled against Thee.
511And rejoice do all trusting in Thee, To the age they sing, and Thou coverest them over, And those loving Thy name exult in Thee.
512For Thou blessest the righteous, O Jehovah, As a buckler with favour dost compass him!
61To the Overseer with stringed instruments, on the octave. -- A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, in Thine anger reprove me not, Nor in Thy fury chastise me.
62Favour me, O Jehovah, for I [am] weak, Heal me, O Jehovah, For troubled have been my bones,
63And my soul hath been troubled greatly, And Thou, O Jehovah, till when?
64Turn back, O Jehovah, draw out my soul, Save me for Thy kindness` sake.
65For there is not in death Thy memorial, In Sheol, who doth give thanks to Thee?
66I have been weary with my sighing, I meditate through all the night [on] my bed, With my tear my couch I waste.
67Old from provocation is mine eye, It is old because of all mine adversaries,
68Turn from me all ye workers of iniquity, For Jehovah heard the voice of my weeping,
69Jehovah hath heard my supplication, Jehovah my prayer receiveth.
610Ashamed and troubled greatly are all mine enemies, They turn back -- ashamed [in] a moment!
71`The Erring One,` by David, that he sung to Jehovah concerning the words of Cush a Benjamite. O Jehovah, my God, in Thee I have trusted, Save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me.
72Lest he tear as a lion my soul, Rending, and there is no deliverer.
73O Jehovah, my God, if I have done this, If there is iniquity in my hands,
74If I have done my well-wisher evil, And draw mine adversary without cause,
75An enemy pursueth my soul, and overtaketh, And treadeth down to the earth my life, And my honour placeth in the dust. Selah.
76Rise, O Jehovah, in Thine anger, Be lifted up at the wrath of mine adversaries, And awake Thou for me: Judgment Thou hast commanded:
77And a company of peoples compass Thee, And over it on high turn Thou back,
78Jehovah doth judge the peoples; Judge me, O Jehovah, According to my righteousness, And according to mine integrity on me,
79Let, I pray Thee be ended the evil of the wicked, And establish Thou the righteous, And a trier of hearts and reins is the righteous God.
710My shield [is] on God, Saviour of the upright in heart!
711God [is] a righteous judge, And He is not angry at all times.
712If [one] turn not, His sword he sharpeneth, His bow he hath trodden -- He prepareth it,
713Yea, for him He hath prepared Instruments of death, His arrows for burning pursuers He maketh.
714Lo, he travaileth [with] iniquity, And he hath conceived perverseness, And hath brought forth falsehood.
715A pit he hath prepared, and he diggeth it, And he falleth into a ditch he maketh.
716Return doth his perverseness on his head, And on his crown his violence cometh down.
717I thank Jehovah, According to His righteousness, And praise the name of Jehovah Most High!
81To the Overseer, `On the Gittith.` A Psalm of David. Jehovah, our Lord, How honourable Thy name in all the earth! Who settest thine honour on the heavens.
82From the mouths of infants and sucklings Thou hast founded strength, Because of Thine adversaries, To still an enemy and a self-avenger.
83For I see Thy heavens, a work of Thy fingers, Moon and stars that Thou didst establish.
84What [is] man that Thou rememberest him? The son of man that Thou inspectest him?
85And causest him to lack a little of Godhead, And with honour and majesty compassest him.
86Thou dost cause him to rule Over the works of Thy hands, All Thou hast placed under his feet.
87Sheep and oxen, all of them, And also beasts of the field,
88Bird of the heavens, and fish of the sea, Passing through the paths of the seas!
89Jehovah, our Lord, How honourable Thy name in all the earth!
91To the Overseer, `On the Death of Labben.` -- A Psalm of David. I confess, O Jehovah, with all my heart, I recount all Thy wonders,
92I rejoice and exult in Thee, I praise Thy Name, O Most High.
93In mine enemies turning backward, they stumble and perish from Thy face.
94For Thou hast done my judgment and my right. Thou hast sat on a throne, A judge of righteousness.
95Thou hast rebuked nations, Thou hast destroyed the wicked, Their name Thou hast blotted out to the age and for ever.
96O thou Enemy, Finished have been destructions for ever, As to cities thou hast plucked up, Perished hath their memorial with them.
97And Jehovah to the age abideth, He is preparing for judgment His throne.
98And He judgeth the world in righteousness, He judgeth the peoples in uprightness.
99And Jehovah is a tower for the bruised, A tower for times of adversity.
910They trust in Thee who do know Thy name, For Thou hast not forsaken Those seeking Thee, O Jehovah.
911Sing ye praise to Jehovah, inhabiting Zion, Declare ye among the peoples His acts,
912For He who is seeking for blood Them hath remembered, He hath not forgotten the cry of the afflicted.
913Favour me, O Jehovah, See mine affliction by those hating me, Thou who liftest me up from the gates of death,
914So that I recount all Thy praise, In the gates of the daughter of Zion. I rejoice on Thy salvation.
915Sunk have nations in a pit they made, In a net that they hid hath their foot been captured.
916Jehovah hath been known, Judgment He hath done, By a work of his hands Hath the wicked been snared. Meditation. Selah.
917The wicked do turn back to Sheol, All nations forgetting God.
918For not for ever is the needy forgotten, The hope of the humble lost to the age.
919Rise, O Jehovah, let not man be strong, Let nations be judged before Thy face.
920Appoint, O Jehovah, a director to them, Let nations know they [are] men! Selah.
101Why, Jehovah, dost Thou stand at a distance? Thou dost hide in times of adversity,
102Through the pride of the wicked, Is the poor inflamed, They are caught in devices that they devised.
103Because the wicked hath boasted Of the desire of his soul, And a dishonest gainer he hath blessed, He hath despised Jehovah.
104The wicked according to the height of his face, inquireth not. `God is not!` [are] all his devices.
105Pain do his ways at all times, On high [are] Thy judgments before him, All his adversaries -- he puffeth at them.
106He hath said in his heart, `I am not moved,` To generation and generation not in evil.
107Of oaths his mouth is full, And deceits, and fraud: Under his tongue [is] perverseness and iniquity,
108He doth sit in an ambush of the villages, In secret places he doth slay the innocent. His eyes for the afflicted watch secretly,
109He lieth in wait in a secret place, as a lion in a covert. He lieth in wait to catch the poor, He catcheth the poor, drawing him into his net.
1010He is bruised -- he boweth down, Fallen by his mighty ones hath the afflicted.
1011He said in his heart, `God hath forgotten, He hath hid His face, He hath never seen.`
1012Arise, O Jehovah! O God, lift up Thy hand! Forget not the humble.
1013Wherefore hath the wicked despised God? He hath said in his heart, `It is not required.`
1014Thou hast seen, For Thou perverseness and anger beholdest; By giving into Thy hand, On Thee doth the afflicted leave [it], Of the fatherless Thou hast been an helper.
1015Break the arm of the wicked and the evil, Seek out his wickedness, find none;
1016Jehovah [is] king to the age, and for ever, The nations have perished out of His land!
1017The desire of the humble Thou hast heard, O Jehovah. Thou preparest their heart; Thou causest Thine ear to attend,
1018To judge the fatherless and bruised: He addeth no more to oppress -- man of the earth!
111To the Overseer. -- By David. In Jehovah I trusted, how say ye to my soul, `They moved [to] Thy mountain for the bird?
112For lo, the wicked tread a bow, They have prepared their arrow on the string, To shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.
113When the foundations are destroyed, The righteous -- what hath he done?
114`Jehovah [is] in his holy temple: Jehovah -- in the heavens [is] His throne. His eyes see -- His eyelids try the sons of men.
115Jehovah the righteous doth try. And the wicked and the lover of violence, Hath His soul hated,
116He poureth on the wicked snares, fire, and brimstone, And a horrible wind [is] the portion of their cup.
117For righteous [is] Jehovah, Righteousness He hath loved, The upright doth His countenance see!`
121To the Overseer, on the octave. -- A Psalm of David. Save, Jehovah, for the saintly hath failed, For the stedfast have ceased From the sons of men:
122Vanity they speak each with his neighbour, Lip of flattery! With heart and heart they speak.
123Jehovah doth cut off all lips of flattery, A tongue speaking great things,
124Who said, `By our tongue we do mightily: Our lips [are] our own; who [is] lord over us?`
125Because of the spoiling of the poor, Because of the groaning of the needy, Now do I arise, saith Jehovah, I set in safety [him who] doth breathe for it.
126Sayings of Jehovah [are] pure sayings; Silver tried in a furnace of earth refined sevenfold.
127Thou, O Jehovah, dost preserve them, Thou keepest us from this generation to the age.
128Around the wicked walk continually, According as vileness is exalted by sons of men!
131To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. Till when, O Jehovah, Dost Thou forget me? -- for ever? Till when dost Thou hide Thy face from me?
132Till when do I set counsels in my soul? Sorrow inn my heart daily? Till when is mine enemy exalted over me?
133Look attentively; Answer me, O Jehovah, my God, Enlighten mine eyes, lest I sleep in death,
134Lest mine enemy say, `I overcame him,` Mine adversaries joy when I am moved.
135And I, in Thy kindness I have trusted, Rejoice doth my heart in Thy salvation.
136I do sing to Jehovah, For He hath conferred benefits upon me!
141To the Overseer. -- By David. A fool hath said in his heart, `God is not;` They have done corruptly, They have done abominable actions, There is not a doer of good.
142Jehovah from the heavens Hath looked on the sons of men, To see if there is a wise one -- seeking God.
143The whole have turned aside, Together they have been filthy: There is not a doer of good, not even one.
144Have all working iniquity not known? Those consuming my people have eaten bread, Jehovah they have not called.
145There they have feared a fear, For God [is] in the generation of the righteous.
146The counsel of the poor ye cause to stink, Because Jehovah [is] his refuge.
147`Who doth give from Zion the salvation of Israel? When Jehovah doth turn back [To] a captivity of His people, Jacob doth rejoice -- Israel is glad!
151A Psalm of David. Jehovah, who doth sojourn in Thy tent? Who doth dwell in Thy holy hill?
152He who is walking uprightly, And working righteousness, And speaking truth in his heart.
153He hath not slandered by his tongue, He hath not done to his friend evil; And reproach he hath not lifted up Against his neighbour.
154Despised in his eyes [is] a rejected one, And those fearing Jehovah he doth honour. He hath sworn to suffer evil, and changeth not;
155His silver he hath not given in usury, And a bribe against the innocent Hath not taken; Whoso is doing these is not moved to the age!
161A Secret Treasure of David. Preserve me, O God, for I did trust in Thee.
162Thou hast said to Jehovah, `My Lord Thou [art];` My good [is] not for thine own sake;
163For the holy ones who [are] in the land, And the honourable, all my delight [is] in them.
164Multiplied are their griefs, [Who] have hastened backward; I pour not out their libations of blood, Nor do I take up their names on my lips.
165Jehovah [is] the portion of my share, and of my cup, Thou -- Thou dost uphold my lot.
166Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Yea, a beauteous inheritance [is] for me.
167I bless Jehovah who hath counselled me; Also [in] the nights my reins instruct me.
168I did place Jehovah before me continually, Because -- at my right hand I am not moved.
169Therefore hath my heart been glad, And my honour doth rejoice, Also my flesh dwelleth confidently:
1610For Thou dost not leave my soul to Sheol, Nor givest thy saintly one to see corruption.
1611Thou causest me to know the path of life; Fulness of joys [is] with Thy presence, Pleasant things by Thy right hand for ever!
171A Prayer of David. Hear, O Jehovah, righteousness, attend my cry, Give ear [to] my prayer, without lips of deceit.
172From before thee my judgment doth go out; Thine eyes do see uprightly.
173Thou hast proved my heart, Thou hast inspected by night, Thou hast tried me, Thou findest nothing; My thoughts pass not over my mouth.
174As to doings of man, Through a word of Thy lips I have observed The paths of a destroyer;
175To uphold my goings in Thy paths, My steps have not slidden.
176I -- I called Thee, for Thou dost answer me, O God, incline Thine ear to me, hear my speech.
177Separate wonderfully Thy kindness, O Saviour of the confiding, By Thy right hand, from withstanders.
178Keep me as the apple, the daughter of the eye; In shadow of Thy wings thou dost hide me.
179From the face of the wicked who spoiled me. Mine enemies in soul go round against me.
1710Their fat they have closed up, Their mouths have spoken with pride:
1711`Our steps now have compassed [him];` Their eyes they set to turn aside in the land.
1712His likeness as a lion desirous to tear, As a young lion dwelling in secret places.
1713Arise, O Jehovah, go before his face, Cause him to bend. Deliver my soul from the wicked, Thy sword,
1714From men, Thy hand, O Jehovah, From men of the world, their portion [is] in life, And [with] Thy hidden things Thou fillest their belly, They are satisfied [with] sons; And have left their abundance to their sucklings.
1715I -- in righteousness, I see Thy face; I am satisfied, in awaking, [with] Thy form!
181To the Overseer. -- By a servant of Jehovah, by David, who hath spoken to Jehovah the words of this song in the day Jehovah delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul, and he saith: -- I love Thee, O Jehovah, my strength.
182Jehovah [is] my rock, and my bulwark, And my deliverer, My God [is] my rock, I trust in Him: My shield, and a horn of my salvation, My high tower.
183The `Praised One` I call Jehovah, And from my enemies I am saved.
184Compassed me have cords of death, And streams of the worthless make me afraid.
185Cords of Sheol have surrounded me, Before me have been snares of death.
186In mine adversity I call Jehovah, And unto my God I cry. He heareth from His temple my voice, And My cry before Him cometh into His ears.
187And shake and tremble doth the earth, And foundations of hills are troubled, And they shake -- because He hath wrath.
188Gone up hath smoke by His nostrils, And fire from His mouth consumeth, Coals have been kindled by it.
189And He inclineth the heavens, and cometh down, And thick darkness [is] under His feet.
1810And He rideth on a cherub, and doth fly, And He flieth on wings of wind.
1811He maketh darkness His secret place, Round about Him His tabernacle, Darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
1812From the brightness over-against Him His thick clouds have passed on, Hail and coals of fire.
1813And thunder in the heavens doth Jehovah, And the Most High giveth forth His voice, Hail and coals of fire.
1814And He sendeth His arrows and scattereth them, And much lightning, and crusheth them.
1815And seen are the streams of waters, And revealed are foundations of the earth. From Thy rebuke, O Jehovah, From the breath of the spirit of Thine anger.
1816He sendeth from above -- He taketh me, He draweth me out of many waters.
1817He delivereth me from my strong enemy, And from those hating me, For they have been stronger than I.
1818They go before me in a day of my calamity And Jehovah is for a support to me.
1819And He bringeth me forth to a large place, He draweth me out, because He delighted in me.
1820Jehovah doth recompense me According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, He doth return to me.
1821For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not done wickedly against my God.
1822For all His judgments [are] before me, And His statutes I turn not from me.
1823And I am perfect with him, And I keep myself from mine iniquity.
1824And Jehovah doth return to me, According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, Over-against his eyes.
1825With the kind Thou showest Thyself kind, With a perfect man showest Thyself perfect.
1826With the pure Thou showest Thyself pure, And with the perverse showest Thyself a wrestler,
1827For Thou a poor people savest, And the eyes of the high causest to fall.
1828For Thou -- Thou lightest my lamp, Jehovah my God enlighteneth my darkness.
1829For by Thee I run -- a troop! And by my God I leap a wall.
1830God! perfect [is] His way, The saying of Jehovah is tried, A shield [is] He to all those trusting in Him.
1831For who [is] God besides Jehovah? And who [is] a rock save our God?
1832God! who is girding me [with] strength, And He maketh perfect my way.
1833Making my feet like hinds, And on my high places causeth me to stand.
1834Teaching my hands for battle, And a bow of brass was brought down by my arms.
1835And Thou givest to me the shield of Thy salvation, And Thy right hand doth support me, And Thy lowliness maketh me great.
1836Thou enlargest my step under me, And mine ankles have not slidden.
1837I pursue mine enemies, and overtake them, And turn back not till they are consumed.
1838I smite them, and they are not able to rise, They fall under my feet,
1839And Thou girdest me [with] strength for battle, Causest my withstanders to bow under me.
1840As to mine enemies -- Thou hast given to me the neck, As to those hating me -- I cut them off.
1841They cry, and there is no saviour, On Jehovah, and He doth not answer them.
1842And I beat them as dust before wind, As mire of the streets I empty them out.
1843Thou dost deliver me From the strivings of the people, Thou placest me for a head of nations, A people I have not known do serve me.
1844At the hearing of the ear they hearken to me, Sons of a stranger feign obedience to me,
1845Sons of a stranger fade away, And are slain out of their close places.
1846Jehovah liveth -- and blessed [is] my rock, And exalted is the God of my salvation.
1847God -- who is giving vengeance to me, And He subdueth peoples under me,
1848My deliverer from mine enemies, Above my withstanders Thou raisest me, From a man of violence dost deliver me.
1849Therefore I confess Thee among nations, O Jehovah, And to Thy name I sing praise,
1850Magnifying the salvation of His king, And doing kindness to His anointed, To David, and to his seed -- unto the age!
191To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. The heavens [are] recounting the honour of God, And the work of His hands The expanse [is] declaring.
192Day to day uttereth speech, And night to night sheweth knowledge.
193There is no speech, and there are no words. Their voice hath not been heard.
194Into all the earth hath their line gone forth, And to the end of the world their sayings, For the sun He placed a tent in them,
195And he, as a bridegroom, goeth out from his covering, He rejoiceth as a mighty one To run the path.
196From the end of the heavens [is] his going out, And his revolution [is] unto their ends, And nothing is hid from his heat.
197The law of Jehovah [is] perfect, refreshing the soul, The testimonies of Jehovah [are] stedfast, Making wise the simple,
198The precepts of Jehovah [are] upright, Rejoicing the heart, The command of Jehovah [is] pure, enlightening the eyes,
199The fear of Jehovah [is] clean, standing to the age, The judgments of Jehovah [are] true, They have been righteous -- together.
1910They are more desirable than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey, Even liquid honey of the comb.
1911Also -- Thy servant is warned by them, `In keeping them [is] a great reward.`
1912Errors! who doth understand? From hidden ones declare me innocent,
1913Also -- from presumptuous ones keep back Thy servant, Let them not rule over me, Then am I perfect, And declared innocent of much transgression,
1914Let the sayings of my mouth, And the meditation of my heart, Be for a pleasing thing before Thee, O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer!
201To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. Jehovah doth answer thee, In a day of adversity, The name of the God of Jacob doth set thee on high,
202He doth send thy help from the sanctuary, And from Zion doth support thee,
203He doth remember all thy presents, And thy burnt-offering doth reduce to ashes. Selah.
204He doth give to thee according to thy heart, And all thy counsel doth fulfil.
205We sing of thy salvation, And in the name of our God set up a banner. Jehovah doth fulfil all thy requests.
206Now I have known That Jehovah hath saved His anointed, He answereth him from His holy heavens, With the saving might of His right hand.
207Some of chariots, and some of horses, And we of the name of Jehovah our God Make mention.
208They -- they have bowed and have fallen, And we have risen and station ourselves upright.
209O Jehovah, save the king, He doth answer us in the day we call!
211To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. Jehovah, in Thy strength is the king joyful, In Thy salvation how greatly he rejoiceth.
212The desire of his heart Thou gavest to him, And the request of his lips Thou hast not withheld. Selah.
213For Thou puttest before him blessings of goodness, Thou settest on his head a crown of fine gold.
214Life he hath asked from Thee, Thou hast given to him -- length of days, Age-during -- and for ever.
215Great [is] his honour in Thy salvation, Honour and majesty Thou placest on him.
216For Thou makest him blessings for ever, Thou dost cause him to rejoice with joy, By Thy countenance.
217For the king is trusting in Jehovah, And in the kindness of the Most High He is not moved.
218Thy hand cometh to all Thine enemies, Thy right hand doth find Thy haters.
219Thou makest them as a furnace of fire, At the time of Thy presence. Jehovah in His anger doth swallow them, And fire doth devour them.
2110Their fruit from earth Thou destroyest, And their seed from the sons of men.
2111For they stretched out against Thee evil, They devised a wicked device, they prevail not,
2112For Thou makest them a butt, When Thy strings Thou preparest against their faces.
2113Be Thou exalted, O Jehovah in, Thy strength, We sing and we praise Thy might!
221To the Overseer, on `The Hind of the Morning.` -- A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me? Far from my salvation, The words of my roaring?
222My God, I call by day, and Thou answerest not, And by night, and there is no silence to me.
223And Thou [art] holy, Sitting -- the Praise of Israel.
224In Thee did our fathers trust -- they trusted, And Thou dost deliver them.
225Unto Thee they cried, and were delivered, In Thee they trusted, and were not ashamed.
226And I [am] a worm, and no man, A reproach of man, and despised of the people.
227All beholding me do mock at me, They make free with the lip -- shake the head,
228`Roll unto Jehovah, He doth deliver him, He doth deliver him, for he delighted in him.`
229For thou [art] He bringing me forth from the womb, Causing me to trust, On the breasts of my mother.
2210On Thee I have been cast from the womb, From the belly of my mother Thou [art] my God.
2211Be not far from me, For adversity is near, for there is no helper.
2212Many bulls have surrounded me, Mighty ones of Bashan have compassed me,
2213They have opened against me their mouth, A lion tearing and roaring.
2214As waters I have been poured out, And separated themselves have all my bones, My heart hath been like wax, It is melted in the midst of my bowels.
2215Dried up as an earthen vessel is my power, And my tongue is cleaving to my jaws.
2216And to the dust of death thou appointest me, For surrounded me have dogs, A company of evil doers have compassed me, Piercing my hands and my feet.
2217I count all my bones -- they look expectingly, They look upon me,
2218They apportion my garments to themselves, And for my clothing they cause a lot to fall.
2219And Thou, O Jehovah, be not far off, O my strength, to help me haste.
2220Deliver from the sword my soul, From the paw of a dog mine only one.
2221Save me from the mouth of a lion: -- And -- from the horns of the high places Thou hast answered me!
2222I declare Thy name to my brethren, In the midst of the assembly I praise Thee.
2223Ye who fear Jehovah, praise ye Him, All the seed of Jacob, honour ye Him, And be afraid of Him, all ye seed of Israel.
2224For He hath not despised, nor abominated, The affliction of the afflicted, Nor hath He hidden His face from him, And in his crying unto Him He heareth.
2225Of Thee my praise [is] in the great assembly. My vows I complete before His fearers.
2226The humble do eat and are satisfied, Praise Jehovah do those seeking Him, Your heart doth live for ever.
2227Remember and return unto Jehovah, Do all ends of the earth, And before Thee bow themselves, Do all families of the nations,
2228For to Jehovah [is] the kingdom, And He is ruling among nations.
2229And the fat ones of earth have eaten, And they bow themselves, Before Him bow do all going down to dust, And he [who] hath not revived his soul.
2230A seed doth serve Him, It is declared of the Lord to the generation.
2231They come and declare His righteousness, To a people that is borne, that He hath made!
231A Psalm of David. Jehovah [is] my shepherd, I do not lack,
232In pastures of tender grass He causeth me to lie down, By quiet waters He doth lead me.
233My soul He refresheth, He leadeth me in paths of righteousness, For His name`s sake,
234Also -- when I walk in a valley of death-shade, I fear no evil, for Thou [art] with me, Thy rod and Thy staff -- they comfort me.
235Thou arrangest before me a table, Over-against my adversaries, Thou hast anointed with oil my head, My cup is full!
236Only -- goodness and kindness pursue me, All the days of my life, And my dwelling [is] in the house of Jehovah, For a length of days!
241A Psalm of David. To Jehovah [is] the earth and its fulness, The world and the inhabitants in it.
242For He on the seas hath founded it, And on the floods He doth establish it.
243Who goeth up into the hill of Jehovah? And who riseth up in His holy place?
244The clean of hands, and pure of heart, Who hath not lifted up to vanity his soul, Nor hath sworn to deceit.
245He beareth away a blessing from Jehovah, Righteousness from the God of his salvation.
246This [is] a generation of those seeking Him. Seeking Thy face, O Jacob! Selah.
247Lift up, O gates, your heads, And be lifted up, O doors age-during, And come in doth the king of glory!
248Who [is] this -- `the king of glory?` Jehovah -- strong and mighty, Jehovah, the mighty in battle.
249Lift up, O gates, your heads, And be lifted up, O doors age-during, And come in doth the king of glory!
2410Who [is] He -- this `king of glory?` Jehovah of hosts -- He [is] the king of glory! Selah.
251By David. Unto Thee, O Jehovah, my soul I lift up.
252My God, in Thee I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed, Let not mine enemies exult over me.
253Also let none waiting on Thee be ashamed, Let the treacherous dealers without cause be ashamed.
254Thy ways, O Jehovah, cause me to know, Thy paths teach Thou me.
255Cause me to tread in Thy truth, and teach me, For Thou [art] the God of my salvation, Near Thee I have waited all the day.
256Remember Thy mercies, O Jehovah, And Thy kindnesses, for from the age [are] they.
257Sins of my youth, and my transgressions, Do not Thou remember. According to Thy kindness be mindful of me, For Thy goodness` sake, O Jehovah.
258Good and upright [is] Jehovah, Therefore He directeth sinners in the way.
259He causeth the humble to tread in judgment, And teacheth the humble His way.
2510All the paths of Jehovah [are] kindness and truth, To those keeping His covenant, And His testimonies.
2511For Thy name`s sake, O Jehovah, Thou hast pardoned mine iniquity, for it [is] great.
2512Who [is] this -- the man fearing Jehovah? He directeth him in the way He doth choose.
2513His soul in good doth remain, And his seed doth possess the land.
2514The secret of Jehovah [is] for those fearing Him, And His covenant -- to cause them to know.
2515Mine eyes [are] continually unto Jehovah, For He bringeth out from a net my feet.
2516Turn Thou unto me, and favour me, For lonely and afflicted [am] I.
2517The distresses of my heart have enlarged themselves, From my distresses bring me out.
2518See mine affliction and my misery, And bear with all my sins.
2519See my enemies, for they have been many, And with violent hatred they have hated me.
2520Keep my soul, and deliver me, Let me not be ashamed, for I trusted in Thee.
2521Integrity and uprightness do keep me, For I have waited [on] Thee.
2522Redeem Israel, O God, from all his distresses!
261By David. Judge me, O Jehovah, for I in mine integrity have walked, And in Jehovah I have trusted, I slide not.
262Try me, O Jehovah, and prove me, Purified [are] my reins and my heart.
263For Thy kindness [is] before mine eyes, And I have walked habitually in Thy truth.
264I have not sat with vain men, And with dissemblers I enter not.
265I have hated the assembly of evil doers, And with the wicked I sit not.
266I wash in innocency my hands, And I compass Thine altar, O Jehovah.
267To sound with a voice of confession, And to recount all Thy wonders.
268Jehovah, I have loved the habitation of Thy house, And the place of the tabernacle of Thine honour.
269Do not gather with sinners my soul, And with men of blood my life,
2610In whose hand [is] a wicked device, And their right hand [is] full of bribes.
2611And I, in mine integrity I walk, Redeem me, and favour me.
2612My foot hath stood in uprightness, In assemblies I bless Jehovah!
271By David. Jehovah [is] my light and my salvation, Whom do I fear? Jehovah [is] the strength of my life, Of whom am I afraid?
272When evil doers come near to me to eat my flesh, My adversaries and mine enemies to me, They have stumbled and fallen.
273Though a host doth encamp against me, My heart doth not fear, Though war riseth up against me, In this I [am] confident.
274One [thing] I asked of Jehovah -- it I seek. My dwelling in the house of Jehovah, All the days of my life, To look on the pleasantness of Jehovah, And to inquire in His temple.
275For He hideth me in a tabernacle in the day of evil, He hideth me in a secret place of His tent, On a rock he raiseth me up.
276And now, lifted up is my head, Above my enemies -- my surrounders, And I sacrifice in His tent sacrifices of shouting, I sing, yea, I sing praise to Jehovah.
277Hear, O Jehovah, my voice -- I call, And favour me, and answer me.
278To Thee said my heart `They sought my face, Thy face, O Jehovah, I seek.`
279Hide not Thy face from me, Turn not aside in anger Thy servant, My help Thou hast been. Leave me not, nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.
2710When my father and my mother Have forsaken me, then doth Jehovah gather me.
2711Shew me, O Jehovah, Thy way, And lead me in a path of uprightness, For the sake of my beholders.
2712Give me not to the will of my adversaries, For risen against me have false witnesses, And they breathe out violence to me.
2713I had not believed to look on the goodness of Jehovah In the land of the living!
2714Look unto Jehovah -- be strong, And He doth strengthen thy heart, Yea, look unto Jehovah!
281By David. Unto Thee, O Jehovah, I call, My rock, be not silent to me! Lest Thou be silent to me, And I have been compared With those going down to the pit.
282Hear the voice of my supplications, In my crying unto Thee, In my lifting up my hands toward thy holy oracle.
283Draw me not with the wicked, And with workers of iniquity, Speaking peace with their neighbours, And evil in their heart.
284Give to them according to their acting, And according to the evil of their doings. According to the work of their hands give to them. Return their deed to them.
285For they attend not to the doing of Jehovah, And unto the work of His hands. He throweth them down, And doth not build them up.
286Blessed [is] Jehovah, For He hath heard the voice of my supplications.
287Jehovah [is] my strength, and my shield, In Him my heart trusted, and I have been helped. And my heart exulteth, And with my song I thank Him.
288Jehovah [is] strength to him, Yea, the strength of the salvation of His anointed [is] He.
289Save Thy people, and bless Thine inheritance, And feed them, and carry them to the age!
291A Psalm of David. Ascribe to Jehovah, ye sons of the mighty, Ascribe to Jehovah honour and strength.
292Ascribe to Jehovah the honour of His name, Bow yourselves to Jehovah, In the beauty of holiness.
293The voice of Jehovah [is] on the waters, The God of glory hath thundered, Jehovah [is] on many waters.
294The voice of Jehovah [is] with power, The voice of Jehovah [is] with majesty,
295The voice of Jehovah [is] shivering cedars, Yea, Jehovah shivers the cedars of Lebanon.
296And He causeth them to skip as a calf, Lebanon and Sirion as a son of Reems,
297The voice of Jehovah is hewing fiery flames,
298The voice of Jehovah paineth a wilderness, Jehovah paineth the wilderness of Kadesh.
299The voice of Jehovah paineth the oaks, And maketh bare the forests, And in His temple every one saith, `Glory.`
2910Jehovah on the deluge hath sat, And Jehovah sitteth king -- to the age,
2911Jehovah strength to his people giveth, Jehovah blesseth His people with peace!
301A Psalm. -- A song of the dedication of the house of David. I exalt Thee, O Jehovah, For Thou hast drawn me up, and hast not let mine enemies rejoice over me.
302Jehovah my God, I have cried to Thee, And Thou dost heal me.
303Jehovah, Thou hast brought up from Sheol my soul, Thou hast kept me alive, From going down [to] the pit.
304Sing praise to Jehovah, ye His saints, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness,
305For -- a moment [is] in His anger, Life [is] in His good-will, At even remaineth weeping, and at morn singing.
306And I -- I have said in mine ease, `I am not moved -- to the age.
307O Jehovah, in Thy good pleasure, Thou hast caused strength to remain for my mountain,` Thou hast hidden Thy face -- I have been troubled.
308Unto Thee, O Jehovah, I call, And unto Jehovah I make supplication.
309`What gain [is] in my blood? In my going down unto corruption? Doth dust thank Thee? doth it declare Thy truth?
3010Hear, O Jehovah, and favour me, O Jehovah, be a helper to me.`
3011Thou hast turned my mourning to dancing for me, Thou hast loosed my sackcloth, And girdest me [with] joy.
3012So that honour doth praise Thee, and is not silent, O Jehovah, my God, to the age I thank Thee!
311To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. In Thee, O Jehovah, I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed to the age, In Thy righteousness deliver me.
312Incline unto me Thine ear hastily, deliver me, Be to me for a strong rock, For a house of bulwarks to save me.
313For my rock and my bulwark [art] Thou, For Thy name`s sake lead me and tend me.
314Bring me out from the net that they hid for me, For Thou [art] my strength.
315Into Thy hand I commit my spirit, Thou hast redeemed me, Jehovah God of truth.
316I have hated the observers of lying vanities, And I toward Jehovah have been confident.
317I rejoice, and am glad in Thy kindness, In that Thou hast seen mine affliction, Thou hast known in adversities my soul.
318And Thou hast not shut me up, Into the hand of an enemy, Thou hast caused my feet to stand in a broad place.
319Favour me, O Jehovah, for distress [is] to me, Mine eye, my soul, and my body Have become old by provocation.
3110For my life hath been consumed in sorrow And my years in sighing. Feeble because of mine iniquity hath been my strength, And my bones have become old.
3111Among all mine adversaries I have been a reproach, And to my neighbours exceedingly, And a fear to mine acquaintances, Those seeing me without -- fled from me.
3112I have been forgotten as dead out of mind, I have been as a perishing vessel.
3113For I have heard an evil account of many, Fear [is] round about. In their being united against me, To take my life they have devised,
3114And I on Thee -- I have trusted, O Jehovah, I have said, `Thou [art] my God.`
3115In Thy hand [are] my times, Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, And from my pursuers.
3116Cause Thy face to shine on Thy servant, Save me in Thy kindness.
3117O Jehovah, let me not be ashamed, For I have called Thee, let the wicked be ashamed, Let them become silent to Sheol.
3118Let lips of falsehood become dumb, That are speaking against the righteous, Ancient sayings, in pride and contempt.
3119How abundant is Thy goodness, That Thou hast laid up for those fearing Thee,
3120Thou hast wrought for those trusting in Thee, Before sons of men. Thou hidest them in the secret place of Thy presence, From artifices of man, Thou concealest them in a tabernacle, From the strife of tongues.
3121Blessed [is] Jehovah, For He hath made marvellous His kindness To me in a city of bulwarks.
3122And I -- I have said in my haste, `I have been cut off from before Thine eyes,` But Thou hast heard the voice of my supplications, In my crying unto Thee.
3123Love Jehovah, all ye His saints, Jehovah is keeping the faithful, And recompensing abundantly a proud doer.
3124Be strong, and He strengtheneth your heart, All ye who are waiting for Jehovah!
321By David. -- An Instruction. O the happiness of him whose transgression [is] forgiven, Whose sin is covered.
322O the happiness of a man, To whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit.
323When I have kept silence, become old have my bones, Through my roaring all the day.
324When by day and by night Thy hand is heavy upon me, My moisture hath been changed Into the droughts of summer. Selah.
325My sin I cause Thee to know, And mine iniquity I have not covered. I have said, `I confess concerning My transgressions to Jehovah,` And Thou -- Thou hast taken away, The iniquity of my sin. Selah.
326For this doth every saintly one pray to Thee, As the time to find. Surely at an overflowing of many waters, Unto him they come not.
327Thou [art] a hiding-place for me, From distress Thou dost keep me, [With] songs of deliverance dost compass me. Selah.
328I cause thee to act wisely, And direct thee in the way that thou goest, I cause mine eye to take counsel concerning thee.
329Be ye not as a horse -- as a mule, Without understanding, With bridle and bit, its ornaments, to curb, Not to come near unto thee.
3210Many [are] the pains of the wicked; As to him who is trusting in Jehovah, Kindness doth compass him.
3211Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, ye righteous, And sing, all ye upright of heart!
331Sing, ye righteous, in Jehovah, For upright ones praise [is] comely.
332Give ye thanks to Jehovah with a harp, With psaltery of ten strings sing praise to Him,
333Sing ye to Him a new song, Play skilfully with shouting.
334For upright [is] the word of Jehovah, And all His work [is] in faithfulness.
335Loving righteousness and judgment, Of the kindness of Jehovah is the earth full.
336By the word of Jehovah The heavens have been made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host.
337Gathering as a heap the waters of the sea, Putting in treasuries the depths.
338Afraid of Jehovah are all the earth, Of Him are all the inhabitants of the world afraid.
339For He hath said, and it is, He hath commanded, and it standeth.
3310Jehovah made void the counsel of nations, He disallowed the thoughts of the peoples.
3311The counsel of Jehovah to the age standeth, The thoughts of His heart to all generations.
3312O the happiness of the nation whose God [is] Jehovah, Of the people He did choose, For an inheritance to Him.
3313From the heavens hath Jehovah looked, He hath seen all the sons of men.
3314From the fixed place of His dwelling, He looked unto all inhabitants of the earth;
3315Who is forming their hearts together, Who is attending unto all their works.
3316The king is not saved by the multitude of a force. A mighty man is not delivered, By abundance of power.
3317A false thing [is] the horse for safety, And by the abundance of his strength He doth not deliver.
3318Lo, the eye of Jehovah [is] to those fearing Him, To those waiting for His kindness,
3319To deliver from death their soul, And to keep them alive in famine.
3320Our soul hath waited for Jehovah, Our help and our shield [is] He,
3321For in Him doth our heart rejoice, For in His holy name we have trusted.
3322Let Thy kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, As we have waited for Thee!
341By David, in his changing his behaviour before Abimelech, and he driveth him away, and he goeth. I do bless Jehovah at all times, Continually His praise [is] in my mouth.
342In Jehovah doth my soul boast herself, Hear do the humble and rejoice.
343Ascribe ye greatness to Jehovah with me, And we exalt His name together.
344I sought Jehovah, and He answered me, And from all my fears did deliver me.
345They looked expectingly unto Him, And they became bright, And their faces are not ashamed.
346This poor [one] called, and Jehovah heard, And from all his distresses saved him.
347A messenger of Jehovah is encamping, Round about those who fear Him, And He armeth them.
348Taste ye and see that Jehovah [is] good, O the happiness of the man who trusteth in Him.
349Fear Jehovah, ye His holy ones, For there is no lack to those fearing Him.
3410Young lions have lacked and been hungry, And those seeking Jehovah lack not any good,
3411Come ye, children, hearken to me, The fear of Jehovah I do teach you.
3412Who [is] the man that is desiring life? Loving days to see good?
3413Keep thy tongue from evil, And thy lips from speaking deceit.
3414Turn aside from evil and do good, Seek peace and pursue it.
3415The eyes of Jehovah [are] unto the righteous, And His ears unto their cry.
3416(The face of Jehovah [is] on doers of evil, To cut off from earth their memorial.)
3417They cried, and Jehovah heard, And from all their distresses delivered them.
3418Near [is] Jehovah to the broken of heart, And the bruised of spirit He saveth.
3419Many [are] the evils of the righteous, Out of them all doth Jehovah deliver him.
3420He is keeping all his bones, One of them hath not been broken.
3421Evil doth put to death the wicked, And those hating the righteous are desolate.
3422Jehovah redeemeth the soul of His servants, And none trusting in Him are desolate!
351By David. Strive, Jehovah, with my strivers, fight with my fighters,
352Take hold of shield and buckler, and rise for my help,
353And draw out spear and lance, To meet my pursuers. Say to my soul, `Thy salvation I [am].`
354They are ashamed and blush, those seeking my soul, Turned backward and confounded, Those devising my evil.
355They are as chaff before wind, And a messenger of Jehovah driving away.
356Their way is darkness and slipperiness, And a messenger of Jehovah their pursuer.
357For without cause they hid for me their netpit, Without cause they digged for my soul.
358Meet him doth desolation -- he knoweth not, And his net that he hid catcheth him, For desolation he falleth into it.
359And my soul is joyful in Jehovah, It rejoiceth in His salvation.
3510All my bones say, `Jehovah, who is like Thee, Delivering the poor from the stronger than he, And the poor and needy from his plunderer.`
3511Violent witnesses rise up, That which I have not known they ask me.
3512They pay me evil for good, bereaving my soul,
3513And I -- in their sickness my clothing [is] sackcloth, I have humbled with fastings my soul, And my prayer unto my bosom returneth.
3514As [if] a friend, as [if] my brother, I walked habitually, As a mourner for a mother, Mourning I have bowed down.
3515And -- in my halting they have rejoiced, And have been gathered together, Gathered against me were the smiters, And I have not known, They have rent, and they have not ceased;
3516With profane ones, mockers in feasts, Gnashing against me their teeth.
3517Lord, how long dost thou behold? Keep back my soul from their desolations, From young lions my only one.
3518I thank Thee in a great assembly, Among a mighty people I praise Thee.
3519Mine enemies rejoice not over me [with] falsehood, Those hating me without cause wink the eye.
3520For they speak not peace, And against the quiet of the land, Deceitful words they devise,
3521And they enlarge against me their mouth, They said, `Aha, aha, our eye hath seen.`
3522Thou hast seen, O Jehovah, Be not silent, O Lord -- be not far from me,
3523Stir up, and wake to my judgment, My God, and my Lord, to my plea.
3524Judge me according to Thy righteousness, O Jehovah my God, And they do not rejoice over me.
3525They do not say in their heart, `Aha, our desire.` They do not say, `We swallowed him up.`
3526They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are rejoicing at my evil. They put on shame and confusion, Who are magnifying themselves against me.
3527They sing and rejoice, who are desiring my righteousness, And they say continually, `Jehovah is magnified, Who is desiring the peace of His servant.`
3528And my tongue uttereth Thy righteousness, All the day Thy praise!
361To the Overseer. -- By a servant of Jehovah, by David. The transgression of the wicked Is affirming within my heart, `Fear of God is not before his eyes,
362For he made [it] smooth to himself in his eyes, To find his iniquity to be hated.
363The words of his mouth [are] iniquity and deceit, He ceased to act prudently -- to do good.
364Iniquity he deviseth on his bed, He stationeth himself on a way not good, Evil he doth not refuse.`
365O Jehovah, in the heavens [is] Thy kindness, Thy faithfulness [is] unto the clouds.
366Thy righteousness [is] as mountains of God, Thy judgments [are] a great deep. Man and beast Thou savest, O Jehovah.
367How precious [is] Thy kindness, O God, And the sons of men In the shadow of Thy wings do trust.
368They are filled from the fatness of Thy house, And the stream of Thy delights Thou dost cause them to drink.
369For with Thee [is] a fountain of life, In Thy light we see light.
3610Draw out Thy kindness to those knowing Thee, And Thy righteousness to the upright of heart.
3611Let not a foot of pride meet me, And a hand of the wicked let not move me.
3612There have workers of iniquity fallen, They have been overthrown, And have not been able to arise!
371By David. Do not fret because of evil doers, Be not envious against doers of iniquity,
372For as grass speedily they are cut off, And as the greenness of the tender grass do fade.
373Trust in Jehovah, and do good, Dwell [in] the land, and enjoy faithfulness,
374And delight thyself on Jehovah, And He giveth to thee the petitions of thy heart.
375Roll on Jehovah thy way, And trust upon Him, and He worketh,
376And hath brought out as light thy righteousness, And thy judgment as noon-day.
377Be silent for Jehovah, and stay thyself for Him, Do not fret because of him Who is making prosperous his way, Because of a man doing wicked devices.
378Desist from anger, and forsake fury, Fret not thyself only to do evil.
379For evil doers are cut off, As to those waiting on Jehovah, they possess the land.
3710And yet a little, and the wicked is not, And thou hast considered his place, and it is not.
3711And the humble do possess the land, And they have delighted themselves In the abundance of peace.
3712The wicked is devising against the righteous, And gnashing against him his teeth.
3713The Lord doth laugh at him, For He hath seen that his day cometh.
3714A sword have the wicked opened, And they have trodden their bow, To cause to fall the poor and needy, To slaughter the upright of the way.
3715Their sword doth enter into their own heart, And their bows are shivered.
3716Better [is] the little of the righteous, Than the store of many wicked.
3717For the arms of the wicked are shivered, And Jehovah is sustaining the righteous.
3718Jehovah knoweth the days of the perfect, And their inheritance is -- to the age.
3719They are not ashamed in a time of evil, And in days of famine they are satisfied.
3720But the wicked perish, and the enemies of Jehovah, As the preciousness of lambs, Have been consumed, In smoke they have been consumed.
3721The wicked is borrowing and repayeth not, And the righteous is gracious and giving.
3722For His blessed ones do possess the land, And His reviled ones are cut off.
3723From Jehovah [are] the steps of a man, They have been prepared, And his way he desireth.
3724When he falleth, he is not cast down, For Jehovah is sustaining his hand.
3725Young I have been, I have also become old, And I have not seen the righteous forsaken, And his seed seeking bread.
3726All the day he is gracious and lending, And his seed [is] for a blessing.
3727Turn aside from evil, and do good, and dwell to the age.
3728For Jehovah is loving judgment, And He doth not forsake His saintly ones, To the age they have been kept, And the seed of the wicked is cut off.
3729The righteous possess the land, And they dwell for ever on it.
3730The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, And his tongue speaketh judgment.
3731The law of his God [is] his heart, His steps do not slide.
3732The wicked is watching for the righteous, And is seeking to put him to death.
3733Jehovah doth not leave him in his hand, Nor condemn him in his being judged.
3734Look unto Jehovah, and keep His way, And He doth exalt thee to possess the land, In the wicked being cut off -- thou seest!
3735I have seen the wicked terrible, And spreading as a green native plant,
3736And he passeth away, and lo, he is not, And I seek him, and he is not found!
3737Observe the perfect, and see the upright, For the latter end of each [is] peace.
3738And transgressors were destroyed together, The latter end of the wicked was cut off.
3739And the salvation of the righteous [is] from Jehovah, Their strong place in a time of adversity.
3740And Jehovah doth help them and deliver them, He delivereth them from the wicked, And saveth them, Because they trusted in Him!
381A Psalm of David, `To cause to remember.` Jehovah, in Thy wrath reprove me not, Nor in Thy fury chastise me.
382For Thine arrows have come down on me, And Thou lettest down upon me Thy hand.
383Soundness is not in my flesh, Because of Thine indignation, Peace is not in my bones because of my sin.
384For mine iniquities have passed over my head, As a heavy burden -- too heavy for me.
385Stunk -- become corrupt have my wounds, Because of my folly.
386I have been bent down, I have been bowed down -- unto excess, All the day I have gone mourning.
387For my flanks have been full of drought, And soundness is not in my flesh.
388I have been feeble and smitten -- unto excess, I have roared from disquietude of heart.
389Lord, before Thee [is] all my desire, And my sighing from Thee hath not been hid.
3810My heart [is] panting, my power hath forsaken me, And the light of mine eyes, Even they are not with me.
3811My lovers and my friends over-against my plague stand. And my neighbours afar off have stood.
3812And those seeking my soul lay a snare, And those seeking my evil Have spoken mischievous things, And they do deceits meditate all the day.
3813And I, as deaf, hear not. And as a dumb one who openeth not his mouth.
3814Yea, I am as a man who heareth not, And in his mouth are no reproofs.
3815Because for Thee, O Jehovah, I have waited, Thou dost answer, O Lord my God.
3816When I said, `Lest they rejoice over me, In the slipping of my foot against me they magnified themselves.
3817For I am ready to halt, And my pain [is] before me continually.
3818For mine iniquity I declare, I am sorry for my sin.
3819And mine enemies [are] lively, They have been strong, and those hating me without cause, Have been multiplied.
3820And those paying evil for good accuse me, Because of my pursuing good.
3821Do not forsake me, O Jehovah, My God, be not far from me,
3822Haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation!
391To the Overseer, to Jeduthun. -- A Psalm of David. I have said, `I observe my ways, Against sinning with my tongue, I keep for my mouth a curb, while the wicked [is] before me.`
392I was dumb [with] silence, I kept silent from good, and my pain is excited.
393Hot [is] my heart within me, In my meditating doth the fire burn, I have spoken with my tongue.
394`Cause me to know, O Jehovah, mine end, And the measure of my days -- what it [is],` I know how frail I [am].
395Lo, handbreadths Thou hast made my days, And mine age [is] as nothing before Thee, Only, all vanity [is] every man set up. Selah.
396Only, in an image doth each walk habitually, Only, [in] vain, they are disquieted, He heapeth up and knoweth not who gathereth them.
397And, now, what have I expected? O Lord, my hope -- it [is] of Thee.
398From all my transgressions deliver me, A reproach of the fool make me not.
399I have been dumb, I open not my mouth, Because Thou -- Thou hast done [it].
3910Turn aside from off me Thy stroke, From the striving of Thy hand I have been consumed.
3911With reproofs against iniquity, Thou hast corrected man, And dost waste as a moth his desirableness, Only, vanity [is] every man. Selah.
3912Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, And [to] my cry give ear, Unto my tear be not silent, For a sojourner I [am] with Thee, A settler like all my fathers.
3913Look from me, and I brighten up before I go and am not!
401To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. I have diligently expected Jehovah, And He inclineth to me, and heareth my cry,
402And He doth cause me to come up From a pit of desolation -- from mire of mud, And He raiseth up on a rock my feet, He is establishing my steps.
403And He putteth in my mouth a new song, `Praise to our God.` Many do see and fear, and trust in Jehovah.
404O the happiness of the man Who hath made Jehovah his trust, And hath not turned unto the proud, And those turning aside to lies.
405Much hast Thou done, Jehovah my God; Thy wonders and Thy thoughts toward us, There is none to arrange unto Thee, I declare and speak: They have been more than to be numbered.
406Sacrifice and present Thou hast not desired, Ears Thou hast prepared for me, Burnt and sin-offering Thou hast not asked.
407Then said I, `Lo, I have come,` In the roll of the book it is written of me,
408To do Thy pleasure, my God, I have delighted, And Thy law [is] within my heart.
409I have proclaimed tidings of righteousness In the great assembly, lo, my lips I restrain not, O Jehovah, Thou hast known.
4010Thy righteousness I have not concealed In the midst of my heart, Thy faithfulness and Thy salvation I have told, I have not hidden Thy kindness and Thy truth, To the great assembly.
4011Thou, O Jehovah, restrainest not Thy mercies from me, Thy kindness and Thy truth do continually keep me.
4012For compassed me have evils innumerable, Overtaken me have mine iniquities, And I have not been able to see; They have been more than the hairs of my head, And my heart hath forsaken me.
4013Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me, O Jehovah, for my help make haste.
4014They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are seeking my soul to destroy it, They are turned backward, And are ashamed, who are desiring my evil.
4015They are desolate because of their shame, Who are saying to me, `Aha, aha.`
4016All seeking Thee rejoice and are glad in Thee, Those loving Thy salvation say continually, `Jehovah is magnified.`
4017And I [am] poor and needy, The Lord doth devise for me. My help and my deliverer [art] Thou, O my God, tarry Thou not.
411To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. O the happiness of him Who is acting wisely unto the poor, In a day of evil doth Jehovah deliver him.
412Jehovah doth preserve him and revive him, He is happy in the land, And Thou givest him not into the will of his enemies.
413Jehovah supporteth on a couch of sickness, All his bed Thou hast turned in his weakness.
414I -- I said, `O Jehovah, favour me, Heal my soul, for I did sin against Thee,`
415Mine enemies say evil of me: When he dieth -- his name hath perished!
416And if he came to see -- vanity he speaketh, His heart gathereth iniquity to itself, He goeth out -- at the street he speaketh.
417All hating me whisper together against me, Against me they devise evil to me:
418A thing of Belial is poured out on him, And because he lay down he riseth not again.
419Even mine ally, in whom I trusted, One eating my bread, made great the heel against me,
4110And Thou, Jehovah, favour me, And cause me to rise, And I give recompence to them.
4111By this I have known, That Thou hast delighted in me, Because my enemy shouteth not over me.
4112As to me, in mine integrity, Thou hast taken hold upon me, And causest me to stand before Thee to the age.
4113Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, From the age -- and unto the age. Amen and Amen.
421To the Overseer. -- An Instruction. By sons of Korah. As a hart doth pant for streams of water, So my soul panteth toward Thee, O God.
422My soul thirsted for God, for the living God, When do I enter and see the face of God?
423My tear hath been to me bread day and night, In their saying unto me all the day, `Where [is] thy God?`
424These I remember, and pour out my soul in me, For I pass over into the booth, I go softly with them unto the house of God, With the voice of singing and confession, The multitude keeping feast!
425What! bowest thou thyself, O my soul? Yea, art thou troubled within me? Wait for God, for still I confess Him: The salvation of my countenance -- My God!
426In me doth my soul bow itself, Therefore I remember Thee from the land of Jordan, And of the Hermons, from the hill Mizar.
427Deep unto deep is calling At the noise of Thy water-spouts, All Thy breakers and Thy billows passed over me.
428By day Jehovah commandeth His kindness, And by night a song [is] with me, A prayer to the God of my life.
429I say to God my rock, `Why hast Thou forgotten me? Why go I mourning in the oppression of an enemy?
4210With a sword in my bones Have mine adversaries reproached me, In their saying unto me all the day, `Where [is] thy God?`
4211What! bowest thou thyself, O my soul? And what! art thou troubled within me? Wait for God, for still I confess Him, The salvation of my countenance, and my God!
431Judge me, O God, And plead my cause against a nation not pious, From a man of deceit and perverseness Thou dost deliver me,
432For thou [art] the God of my strength. Why hast Thou cast me off? Why mourning do I go up and down, In the oppression of an enemy?
433Send forth Thy light and Thy truth, They -- they lead me, they bring me in, Unto Thy holy hill, and unto Thy tabernacles.
434And I go in unto the altar of God, Unto God, the joy of my rejoicing. And I thank Thee with a harp, O God, my God.
435What! bowest thou thyself, O my soul? And what! art thou troubled within me? Wait for God, for still I confess Him, The salvation of my countenance, and my God!
441To the Overseer. -- By sons of Korah. An Instruction. O God, with our ears we have heard, Our fathers have recounted to us, The work Thou didst work in their days, In the days of old.
442Thou, [with] Thy hand, nations hast dispossessed. And Thou dost plant them. Thou afflictest peoples, and sendest them away.
443For, not by their sword Possessed they the land, And their arm gave not salvation to them, But Thy right hand, and Thine arm, And the light of Thy countenance, Because Thou hadst accepted them.
444Thou [art] He, my king, O God, Command the deliverances of Jacob.
445By Thee our adversaries we do push, By Thy name tread down our withstanders,
446For, not in my bow do I trust, And my sword doth not save me.
447For Thou hast saved us from our adversaries, And those hating us Thou hast put to shame.
448In God we have boasted all the day, And Thy name to the age we thank. Selah.
449In anger Thou hast cast off and causest us to blush, And goest not forth with our hosts.
4410Thou causest us to turn backward from an adversary, And those hating us, Have spoiled for themselves.
4411Thou makest us food like sheep, And among nations Thou hast scattered us.
4412Thou sellest Thy people -- without wealth, And hast not become great by their price.
4413Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, A scorn and a reproach to our surrounders.
4414Thou makest us a simile among nations, A shaking of the head among peoples.
4415All the day my confusion [is] before me, And the shame of my face hath covered me.
4416Because of the voice of a reproacher and reviler, Because of an enemy and a self-avenger.
4417All this met us, and we did not forget Thee, Nor have we dealt falsely in Thy covenant.
4418We turn not backward our heart, Nor turn aside doth our step from Thy path.
4419But Thou hast smitten us in a place of dragons, And dost cover us over with death-shade.
4420If we have forgotten the name of our God, And spread our hands to a strange God,
4421Doth not God search out this? For He knoweth the secrets of the heart.
4422Surely, for Thy sake we have been slain all the day, Reckoned as sheep of the slaughter.
4423Stir up -- why dost Thou sleep, O Lord? Awake, cast us not off for ever.
4424Why Thy face hidest Thou? Thou forgettest our afflictions and our oppression,
4425For bowed to the dust hath our soul, Cleaved to the earth hath our belly.
4426Arise, a help to us, And ransom us for thy kindness` sake.
451To the Overseer. -- `On the Lilies.` -- By sons of Korah. -- An Instruction. -- A song of loves. My heart hath indited a good thing, I am telling my works to a king, My tongue [is] the pen of a speedy writer.
452Thou hast been beautified above the sons of men, Grace hath been poured into thy lips, Therefore hath God blessed thee to the age.
453Gird Thy sword upon the thigh, O mighty, Thy glory and Thy majesty!
454As to Thy majesty -- prosper! -- ride! Because of truth, and meekness -- righteousness, And Thy right hand showeth Thee fearful things.
455Thine arrows [are] sharp, -- Peoples fall under Thee -- In the heart of the enemies of the king.
456Thy throne, O God, [is] age-during, and for ever, A sceptre of uprightness [Is] the sceptre of Thy kingdom.
457Thou hast loved righteousness and hatest wickedness, Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee, Oil of joy above thy companions.
458Myrrh and aloes, cassia! all thy garments, Out of palaces of ivory Stringed instruments have made thee glad.
459Daughters of kings [are] among thy precious ones, A queen hath stood at thy right hand, In pure gold of Ophir.
4510Hearken, O daughter, and see, incline thine ear, And forget thy people, and thy father`s house,
4511And the king doth desire thy beauty, Because he [is] thy lord -- bow thyself to him,
4512And the daughter of Tyre with a present, The rich of the people do appease thy face.
4513All glory [is] the daughter of the king within, Of gold-embroidered work [is] her clothing.
4514In divers colours she is brought to the king, Virgins -- after her -- her companions, Are brought to thee.
4515They are brought with joy and gladness, They come into the palace of the king.
4516Instead of thy fathers are thy sons, Thou dost appoint them for princes in all the earth.
4517I make mention of Thy name in all generations, Therefore do peoples praise Thee, To the age, and for ever!
461To the Overseer. -- By sons of Korah. `For the Virgins.` -- A song. God [is] to us a refuge and strength, A help in adversities found most surely.
462Therefore we fear not in the changing of earth, And in the slipping of mountains Into the heart of the seas.
463Roar -- troubled are its waters, Mountains they shake in its pride. Selah.
464A river -- its rivulets rejoice the city of God, Thy holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.
465God [is] in her midst -- she is not moved, God doth help her at the turn of the morn!
466Troubled have been nations, Moved have been kingdoms, He hath given forth with His voice, earth melteth.
467Jehovah of Hosts [is] with us, A tower for us [is] the God of Jacob. Selah.
468Come ye, see the works of Jehovah, Who hath done astonishing things in the earth,
469Causing wars to cease, Unto the end of the earth, the bow he shivereth, And the spear He hath cut asunder, Chariots he doth burn with fire.
4610Desist, and know that I [am] God, I am exalted among nations, I am exalted in the earth.
4611Jehovah of hosts [is] with us, A tower for us [is] the God of Jacob! Selah.
471To the Overseer. -- By sons of Korah. A Psalm. All ye peoples, clap the hand, Shout to God with a voice of singing,
472For Jehovah Most High [is] fearful, A great king over all the earth.
473He leadeth peoples under us, and nations under our feet.
474He doth choose for us our inheritance, The excellency of Jacob that He loves. Selah.
475God hath gone up with a shout, Jehovah with the sound of a trumpet.
476Praise God -- praise -- give praise to our king, praise.
477For king of all the earth [is] God, Give praise, O understanding one.
478God hath reigned over nations, God hath sat on His holy throne,
479Nobles of peoples have been gathered, [With] the people of the God of Abraham, For to God [are] the shields of earth, Greatly hath He been exalted!
481A Song, a Psalm, by sons of Korah. Great [is] Jehovah, and praised greatly, In the city of our God -- His holy hill.
482Beautiful [for] elevation, A joy of all the land, [is] Mount Zion, The sides of the north, the city of a great king.
483God in her high places is known for a tower.
484For, lo, the kings met, they passed by together,
485They have seen -- so they have marvelled, They have been troubled, they were hastened away.
486Trembling hath seized them there, Pain, as of a travailing woman.
487By an east wind Thou shiverest ships of Tarshish.
488As we have heard, so we have seen, In the city of Jehovah of hosts, In the city of our God, God doth establish her -- to the age. Selah.
489We have thought, O God, of Thy kindness, In the midst of Thy temple,
4810As [is] Thy name, O God, so [is] Thy praise, Over the ends of the earth, Righteousness hath filled Thy right hand.
4811Rejoice doth Mount Zion, The daughters of Judah are joyful, For the sake of Thy judgments.
4812Compass Zion, and go round her, count her towers,
4813Set your heart to her bulwark, Consider her high places, So that ye recount to a later generation,
4814That this God [is] our God -- To the age and for ever, He -- he doth lead us over death!
491To the Overseer. -- By sons of Korah. A Psalm. Hear this, all ye peoples, Give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world.
492Both low and high, together rich and needy.
493My mouth speaketh wise things, And the meditations of my heart [are] things of understanding.
494I incline to a simile mine ear, I open with a harp my riddle:
495Why do I fear in days of evil? The iniquity of my supplanters doth compass me.
496Those trusting on their wealth, And in the multitude of their riches, Do shew themselves foolish.
497A brother doth no one at all ransom, He doth not give to God his atonement.
498And precious [is] the redemption of their soul, And it hath ceased -- to the age.
499And still he liveth for ever, He seeth not the pit.
4910For he seeth wise men die, Together the foolish and brutish perish, And have left to others their wealth.
4911Their heart [is]: Their houses [are] to the age, Their tabernacles to all generations. They proclaimed their names over the lands.
4912And man in honour doth not remain, He hath been like the beasts, they have been cut off.
4913This their way [is] folly for them, And their posterity with their sayings are pleased. Selah.
4914As sheep for Sheol they have set themselves, Death doth afflict them, And the upright rule over them in the morning, And their form [is] for consumption. Sheol [is] a dwelling for him.
4915Only, God doth ransom my soul from the hand of Sheol, For He doth receive me. Selah.
4916Fear not, when one maketh wealth, When the honour of his house is abundant,
4917For at his death he receiveth nothing, His honour goeth not down after him.
4918For his soul in his life he blesseth, (And they praise thee when thou dost well for thyself.)
4919It cometh to the generation of his fathers, For ever they see not the light.
4920Man in honour, who understandest not, Hath been like the beasts, they have been cut off!
501A Psalm of Asaph. The God of gods -- Jehovah -- hath spoken, And He calleth to the earth From the rising of the sun unto its going in.
502From Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shone.
503Our God cometh, and is not silent, Fire before Him doth devour, And round about him it hath been very tempestuous.
504He doth call unto the heavens from above, And unto the earth, to judge His people.
505Gather ye to Me My saints, Making covenant with Me over a sacrifice.
506And the heavens declare His righteousness, For God Himself [is] judge. Selah.
507Hear, O My people, and I speak, O Israel, and I testify against thee, God, thy God [am] I.
508Not for thy sacrifices do I reprove thee, Yea, thy burnt-offerings [Are] before Me continually.
509I take not from thy house a bullock, From thy folds he goats.
5010For Mine [is] every beast of the forest, The cattle on the hills of oxen.
5011I have known every fowl of the mountains, And the wild beast of the field [is] with Me.
5012If I am hungry I tell not to thee, For Mine [is] the world and its fulness.
5013Do I eat the flesh of bulls, And drink the blood of he-goats?
5014Sacrifice to God confession, And complete to the Most High thy vows.
5015And call Me in a day of adversity, I deliver thee, and thou honourest Me.
5016And to the wicked hath God said: What to thee -- to recount My statutes? That thou liftest up My covenant on thy mouth?
5017Yea, thou hast hated instruction, And dost cast My words behind thee.
5018If thou hast seen a thief, Then thou art pleased with him, And with adulterers [is] thy portion.
5019Thy mouth thou hast sent forth with evil, And thy tongue joineth deceit together,
5020Thou sittest, against thy brother thou speakest, Against a son of thy mother givest slander.
5021These thou didst, and I kept silent, Thou hast thought that I am like thee, I reprove thee, and set in array before thine eyes.
5022Understand this, I pray you, Ye who are forgetting God, Lest I tear, and there is no deliverer.
5023He who is sacrificing praise honoureth Me, As to him who maketh a way, I cause him to look on the salvation of God!
511To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David, in the coming inn unto him of Nathan the prophet, when he hath gone in unto Bath-Sheba. Favour me, O God, according to Thy kindness, According to the abundance of Thy mercies, Blot out my transgressions.
512Thoroughly wash me from mine iniquity, And from my sin cleanse me,
513For my transgressions I do know, And my sin [is] before me continually.
514Against Thee, Thee only, I have sinned, And done the evil thing in Thine eyes, So that Thou art righteous in Thy words, Thou art pure in Thy judging.
515Lo, in iniquity I have been brought forth, And in sin doth my mother conceive me.
516Lo, truth Thou hast desired in the inward parts, And in the hidden part Wisdom Thou causest me to know.
517Thou cleansest me with hyssop and I am clean, Washest me, and than snow I am whiter.
518Thou causest me to hear joy and gladness, Thou makest joyful bones Thou hast bruised.
519Hide Thy face from my sin. And all mine iniquities blot out.
5110A clean heart prepare for me, O God, And a right spirit renew within me.
5111Cast me not forth from Thy presence, And Thy Holy Spirit take not from me.
5112Restore to me the joy of Thy salvation, And a willing spirit doth sustain me.
5113I teach transgressors Thy ways, And sinners unto Thee do return.
5114Deliver me from blood, O God, God of my salvation, My tongue singeth of Thy righteousness.
5115O Lord, my lips thou dost open, And my mouth declareth Thy praise.
5116For Thou desirest not sacrifice, or I give [it], Burnt-offering Thou acceptest not.
5117The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit, A heart broken and bruised, O God, Thou dost not despise.
5118Do good in Thy good pleasure with Zion, Thou dost build the walls of Jerusalem.
5119Then Thou desirest sacrifices of righteousness, Burnt-offering, and whole burnt-offering, Then they offer bullocks on thine altar!
521To the Overseer. -- An instruction, by David, in the coming in of Doeg the Edomite, and he declareth to Saul, and saith to him, `David came in unto the house of Ahimelech.` What, boasteth thou in evil, O mighty one? The kindness of God [is] all the day.
522Mischiefs doth thy tongue devise, Like a sharp razor, working deceit.
523Thou hast loved evil rather than good, Lying, than speaking righteousness. Selah.
524Thou hast loved all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.
525Also -- God doth break thee down for ever, Taketh thee, and pulleth thee out of the tent, And He hath uprooted thee Out of the land of the living. Selah.
526And the righteous see, And fear, and laugh at him.
527`Lo, the man who maketh not God his strong place, And trusteth in the abundance of his riches, He is strong in his mischiefs.`
528And I, as a green olive in the house of God, I have trusted in the kindness of God, To the age and for ever,
529I thank Thee to the age, because Thou hast done [it], And I wait [on] Thy name for [it is] good before Thy saints!
531To the Overseer. -- `On a disease.` -- An instruction, by David. A fool said in his heart, `There is no God.` They have done corruptly, Yea, they have done abominable iniquity, There is none doing good.
532God from the heavens looked on the sons of men, To see if there be an understanding one, [One] seeking God.
533Every one went back, together they became filthy, There is none doing good -- not even one.
534Have not workers of iniquity known, Those eating my people have eaten bread, God they have not called.
535There they feared a fear -- there was no fear, For God hath scattered the bones of him Who is encamping against thee, Thou hast put to shame, For God hath despised them.
536Who doth give from Zion the salvation of Israel? When God turneth back [to] a captivity of His people, Jacob doth rejoice -- Israel is glad!
541To the Overseer with stringed instruments. -- An instruction, by David, in the coming in of the Ziphim, and they say to Saul, `Is not David hiding himself with us?` O God, by Thy name save me, and by Thy might judge me.
542O God, hear my prayer, Give ear to the sayings of my mouth,
543For strangers have risen up against me And terrible ones have sought my soul, They have not set God before them. Selah.
544Lo, God [is] a helper to me, The Lord [is] with those supporting my soul,
545Turn back doth the evil thing to mine enemies, In Thy truth cut them off.
546With a free will-offering I sacrifice to Thee, I thank Thy name, O Jehovah, for [it is] good,
547For, from all adversity He delivered me, And on mine enemies hath mine eye looked!
551To the Overseer with stringed instruments. -- An instruction, by David. Give ear, O God, [to] my prayer, And hide not from my supplication.
552Attend to me, and answer me, I mourn in my meditation, and make a noise,
553Because of the voice of an enemy, Because of the oppression of the wicked, For they cause sorrow to move against me, And in anger they hate me.
554My heart is pained within me, And terrors of death have fallen on me.
555Fear and trembling come in to me, And horror doth cover me.
556And I say, `Who doth give to me a pinion as a dove? I fly away and rest,
557Lo, I move far off, I lodge in a wilderness. Selah.
558I hasten escape for myself, From a rushing wind, from a whirlwind.
559Swallow up, O Lord, divide their tongue, For I saw violence and strife in a city.
5510By day and by night they go round it, on its walls. Both iniquity and perverseness [are] in its midst,
5511Mischiefs [are] in its midst. Fraud and deceit depart not from its street.
5512For an enemy reproacheth me not, or I bear [it], He who is hating me Hath not magnified himself against me, Or I hide from him.
5513But thou, a man -- as mine equal, My familiar friend, and mine acquaintance.
5514When together we sweeten counsel, Into the house of God we walk in company.
5515Desolations [are] upon them, They go down [to] Sheol -- alive, For wickedness [is] in their dwelling, in their midst.
5516I -- to God I call, and Jehovah saveth me.
5517Evening, and morning, and noon, I meditate, and make a noise, and He heareth my voice,
5518He hath ransomed in peace my soul From him who is near to me, For with the multitude they were with me.
5519God doth hear and afflict them, And He sitteth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, and fear not God,
5520He hath sent forth his hands against his well-wishers, He hath polluted his covenant.
5521Sweeter than honey hath been his mouth, And his heart [is] war! Softer have been his words than oil, And they [are] drawn [swords].
5522Cast on Jehovah that which He hath given thee, And He doth sustain thee, He doth not suffer for ever the moving of the righteous.
5523And Thou, O God, dost bring them down To a pit of destruction, Men of blood and deceit reach not to half their days, And I -- I do trust in Thee!
561To the Overseer. -- `On the Dumb Dove far off.` -- A secret treasure of David, in the Philistines` taking hold of him in Gath. Favour me, O God, for man swallowed me up, All the day fighting he oppresseth me,
562Mine enemies have swallowed up all the day, For many [are] fighting against me, O most High,
563The day I am afraid I am confident toward Thee.
564In God I praise His word, in God I have trusted, I fear not what flesh doth to me.
565All the day they wrest my words, Concerning me all their thoughts [are] for evil,
566They assemble, they hide, they watch my heels, When they have expected my soul.
567By iniquity they escape, In anger the peoples put down, O God.
568My wandering Thou hast counted, Thou -- place Thou my tear in Thy bottle, Are they not in Thy book?
569Then turn back do mine enemies in the day I call. This I have known, that God [is] for me.
5610In God I praise the word, In Jehovah I praise the word.
5611In God I trusted, I fear not what man doth to me,
5612On me, O God, [are] Thy vows, I repay thank-offerings to Thee.
5613For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, Dost Thou not my feet from falling? To walk habitually before God in the light of the living!
571To the Overseer. -- `Destroy not.` -- A secret treasure of David, in his fleeing from the face of Saul into a cave. Favour me, O God, favour me, For in Thee is my soul trusting, And in the shadow of Thy wings I trust, Until the calamities pass over.
572I call to God Most High, To God [who] is perfecting for me.
573He sendeth from the heaven, and saveth me, He reproached -- who is panting after me. Selah. God sendeth forth His kindness and His truth.
574My soul [is] in the midst of lions, I lie down [among] flames -- sons of men, Their teeth [are] a spear and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword.
575Be Thou exalted above the heavens, O God, Above all the earth Thine honour.
576A net they have prepared for my steps, Bowed down hath my soul, They have digged before me a pit, They have fallen into its midst. Selah.
577Prepared is my heart, O God, Prepared is my heart, I sing and praise.
578Awake, mine honour, awake, psaltery and harp, I awake the morning dawn.
579I thank Thee among the peoples, O Lord, I praise Thee among the nations.
5710For great unto the heavens [is] Thy kindness, And unto the clouds Thy truth.
5711Be thou exalted above the heavens, O God. Above all the earth Thine honour!
581To the Overseer. -- `Destroy not.` -- A secret treasure, by David. Is it true, O dumb one, righteously ye speak? Uprightly ye judge, O sons of men?
582Even in heart ye work iniquities, In the land the violence of your hands ye ponder.
583The wicked have been estranged from the womb, They have erred from the belly, speaking lies.
584Their poison [is] as poison of a serpent, As a deaf asp shutting its ear,
585Which hearkeneth not to the voice of whisperers, A charmer of charms most skilful.
586O God, break their teeth in their mouth, The jaw-teeth of young lions break down, O Jehovah.
587They are melted as waters, They go up and down for themselves, His arrow proceedeth as they cut themselves off.
588As a snail that melteth he goeth on, [As] an untimely birth of a woman, They have not seen the sun.
589Before your pots discern the bramble, As well the raw as the heated He whirleth away.
5810The righteous rejoiceth that he hath seen vengeance, His steps he washeth in the blood of the wicked.
5811And man saith: `Surely fruit [is] for the righteous: Surely there is a God judging in the earth!`
591To the Overseer. -- `Destroy not,` by David. -- A secret treasure, in Saul`s sending, and they watch the house to put him to death. Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God, From my withstanders set me on high.
592Deliver me from workers of iniquity, And from men of blood save me.
593For, lo, they laid wait for my soul, Assembled against me are strong ones, Not my transgression nor my sin, O Jehovah.
594Without punishment they run and prepare themselves, Stir up to meet me, and see.
595And Thou, Jehovah, God of Hosts, God of Israel, Awake to inspect all the nations. Favour not any treacherous dealers of iniquity. Selah.
596They turn back at evening, They make a noise like a dog, And go round about the city.
597Lo, they belch out with their mouths, Swords [are] in their lips, for `Who heareth?`
598And Thou, O Jehovah dost laugh at them, Thou dost mock at all the nations.
599O my Strength, unto Thee I take heed, For God [is] my tower -- the God of my kindness.
5910God doth go before me, He causeth me to look on mine enemies.
5911Slay them not, lest my people forget, Shake them by Thy strength, And bring them down, O Lord our shield.
5912The sin of their mouth [is] a word of their lips, And they are captured in their pride, And from the curse and lying they recount.
5913Consume in fury, consume and they are not, And they know that God is ruling in Jacob, To the ends of the earth. Selah.
5914And they turn back at evening, They make a noise like a dog, And they go round about the city.
5915They -- they wander for food, If they are not satisfied -- then they murmur.
5916And I -- I sing [of] Thy strength, And I sing at morn [of] Thy kindness, For thou hast been a tower to me, And a refuge for me in a day of adversity.
5917O my Strength, unto Thee I sing praise, For God [is] my tower, the God of my kindness!
601To the Overseer. -- `Concerning the Lily of Testimony,` a secret treasure of David, to teach, in his striving with Aram-Naharaim, and with Aram-Zobah, and Joab turneth back and smiteth Edom in the valley of Salt -- twelve thousand. O God, Thou hadst cast us off, Thou hadst broken us -- hadst been angry! -- Thou dost turn back to us.
602Thou hast caused the land to tremble, Thou hast broken it, Heal its breaches, for it hath moved.
603Thou hast shewn Thy people a hard thing, Thou hast caused us to drink wine of trembling.
604Thou hast given to those fearing thee an ensign. To be lifted up as an ensign Because of truth. Selah.
605That Thy beloved ones may be drawn out, Save [with] Thy right hand, and answer us.
606God hath spoken in His holiness: I exult -- I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure,
607Mine [is] Gilead, and mine [is] Manasseh, And Ephraim [is] the strength of my head, Judah [is] my lawgiver,
608Moab [is] my pot for washing, over Edom I cast my shoe, Shout, concerning me, O Philistia.
609Who doth bring me [to] a city of bulwarks? Who hath led me unto Edom?
6010Is it not Thou, O God? hast Thou cast us off? And dost Thou not go forth, O God, with our hosts!
6011Give to us help from adversity, And vain [is] the deliverance of man.
6012In God we do mightily, And He treadeth down our adversaries!
611To the Overseer, on stringed instruments. -- By David. Hear, O God, my loud cry, attend to my prayer.
612From the end of the land unto Thee I call, In the feebleness of my heart, Into a rock higher than I Thou dost lead me.
613For Thou hast been a refuge for me, A tower of strength because of the enemy.
614I sojourn in Thy tent to the ages, I trust in the secret place of Thy wings. Selah.
615For Thou, O God, hast hearkened to my vows, Thou hast appointed the inheritance Of those fearing Thy name.
616Days to the days of the king Thou addest, His years as generation and generation.
617He dwelleth to the age before God, Kindness and truth appoint -- they keep him.
618So do I praise Thy name for ever, When I pay my vows day by day!
621To the Overseer, for Jeduthun. -- A Psalm of David. Only -- toward God [is] my soul silent, From Him [is] my salvation.
622Only -- He [is] my rock, and my salvation, My tower, I am not much moved.
623Till when do ye devise mischief against a man? Ye are destroyed all of you, As a wall inclined, a hedge that is cast down.
624Only -- from his excellency They have consulted to drive away, They enjoy a lie, with their mouth they bless, And with their heart revile. Selah.
625Only -- for God, be silent, O my soul, For from Him [is] my hope.
626Only -- He [is] my rock and my salvation, My tower, I am not moved.
627On God [is] my salvation, and my honour, The rock of my strength, my refuge [is] in God.
628Trust in Him at all times, O people, Pour forth before Him your heart, God [is] a refuge for us. Selah.
629Only -- vanity [are] the low, a lie the high. In balances to go up they than vanity [are] lighter.
6210Trust not in oppression, And in robbery become not vain, Wealth -- when it increaseth -- set not the heart.
6211Once hath God spoken, twice I heard this, That `strength [is] with God.`
6212And with Thee, O Lord, [is] kindness, For Thou dost recompense to each, According to his work!
631A Psalm of David, in his being in the wilderness of Judah. O God, Thou [art] my God, earnestly do I seek Thee, Thirsted for Thee hath my soul, Longed for Thee hath my flesh, In a land dry and weary, without waters.
632So in the sanctuary I have seen Thee, To behold Thy strength and Thine honour.
633Because better [is] Thy kindness than life, My lips do praise Thee.
634So I bless Thee in my life, in Thy name I lift up my hands.
635As [with] milk and fatness is my soul satisfied, And [with] singing lips doth my mouth praise.
636If I have remembered Thee on my couch, In the watches -- I meditate on Thee.
637For Thou hast been a help to me, And in the shadow of Thy wings I sing.
638Cleaved hath my soul after Thee, On me hath Thy right hand taken hold.
639And they who for desolation seek my soul, Go in to the lower parts of the earth.
6310They cause him to run on the edge of the sword, A portion for foxes they are.
6311And the king doth rejoice in God, Boast himself doth every one swearing by Him, But stopped is the mouth of those speaking lies!
641To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my voice, in my meditation, From the fear of an enemy Thou keepest my life,
642Hidest me from the secret counsel of evil doers, From the tumult of workers of iniquity.
643Who sharpened as a sword their tongue, They directed their arrow -- a bitter word.
644To shoot in secret places the perfect, Suddenly they shoot him, and fear not.
645They strengthen for themselves an evil thing, They recount of the hiding of snares, They have said, `Who doth look at it?`
646They search out perverse things, `We perfected a searching search,` And the inward part of man, and the heart [are] deep.
647And God doth shoot them [with] an arrow, Sudden have been their wounds,
648And they cause him to stumble, Against them [is] their own tongue, Every looker on them fleeth away.
649And all men fear, and declare the work of God, And His deed they have considered wisely.
6410The righteous doth rejoice in Jehovah, And hath trusted in Him, And boast themselves do all the upright of heart!
651To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. A Song. To Thee, silence -- praise, O God, [is] in Zion, And to Thee is a vow completed.
652Hearer of prayer, to Thee all flesh cometh.
653Matters of iniquities were mightier than I, Our transgressions -- Thou dost cover them.
654O the happiness of [him whom] Thou choosest, And drawest near, he inhabiteth Thy courts, We are satisfied with the goodness of Thy house, Thy holy temple.
655By fearful things in righteousness Thou answerest us, O God of our salvation, The confidence of all far off ends of earth and sea.
656Establishing mountains by His power, He hath been girded with might,
657Restraining the noise of seas, the noise of their billows, And the multitude of the peoples.
658And the inhabitants of the uttermost parts From Thy signs are afraid, The outgoings of morning and evening Thou causest to sing.
659Thou hast inspected the earth, and waterest it, Thou makest it very rich, the rivulet of God [is] full of water, Thou preparest their corn, When thus Thou dost prepare it,
6510Its ridges have been filled, Deepened hath been its furrow, With showers Thou dost soften it, Its springing up Thou blessest.
6511Thou hast crowned the year of Thy goodness, And Thy paths drop fatness.
6512Drop do the pastures of a wilderness, And joy of the heights Thou girdest on.
6513Clothed have lambs the flock, And valleys are covered with corn, They shout -- yea, they sing!
661To the Overseer. -- A Song, a Psalm. Shout ye to God, all the earth.
662Praise ye the honour of His name, Make ye honourable His praise.
663Say to God, `How fearful [are] Thy works, By the abundance of Thy strength, Thine enemies feign obedience to Thee.
664All the earth do bow to Thee, They sing praise to Thee, they praise Thy name.` Selah.
665Come ye, and see the works of God, Fearful acts toward the sons of men.
666He hath turned a sea to dry land, Through a river they pass over on foot, There do we rejoice in Him.
667Ruling by His might to the age, His eyes among the nations do watch, The refractory exalt not themselves. Selah.
668Bless, ye peoples, our God, And sound the voice of His praise,
669Who hath placed our soul in life, And suffered not our feet to be moved.
6610For Thou hast tried us, O God, Thou hast refined us as the refining of silver.
6611Thou hast brought us into a net, Thou hast placed pressure on our loins.
6612Thou hast caused man to ride at our head. We have entered into fire and into water, And Thou bringest us out to a watered place.
6613I enter Thy house with burnt-offerings, I complete to Thee my vows,
6614For opened were my lips, And my mouth spake in my distress:
6615`Burnt-offerings of fatlings I offer to Thee, With perfume of rams, I prepare a bullock with he-goats.` Selah.
6616Come, hear, all ye who fear God, And I recount what he did for my soul.
6617Unto Him [with] my mouth I have called, And exaltation [is] under my tongue.
6618Iniquity, if I have seen in my heart, The Lord doth not hear.
6619But God hath heard, He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
6620Blessed [is] God, Who hath not turned aside my prayer, And His loving-kindness, from me!
671To the Overseer, with stringed instruments. -- A Psalm, a Song. God doth favour us and bless us, Doth cause His face to shine with us. Selah.
672For the knowledge in earth of Thy way, among all nations of Thy salvation.
673Praise Thee do peoples, O God, Praise Thee do peoples, all of them.
674Rejoice and sing do nations, For Thou judgest peoples uprightly, And peoples on earth comfortest. Selah.
675Confess Thee do peoples, O God, Confess Thee do peoples -- all of them.
676Earth hath given her increase, God doth bless us -- our God,
677God doth bless us, and all ends of earth fear Him!
681To the Overseer. -- A Psalm, a song of David. Rise doth God -- scattered are His enemies! And those hating Him flee from His face.
682As the driving away of smoke Thou drivest away, As the melting of wax before fire, The wicked perish at the presence of God.
683And the righteous rejoice, they exult before God, And they joy with gladness.
684Sing ye to God -- praise His name, Raise up a highway for Him who is riding in deserts, In Jah [is] His name, and exult before Him.
685Father of the fatherless, and judge of the widows, [Is] God in His holy habitation.
686God -- causing the lonely to dwell at home, Bringing out bound ones into prosperity, Only -- the refractory have inhabited a dry place.
687O God, in Thy going forth before Thy people, In Thy stepping through the wilderness, Selah.
688The earth hath shaken, Yea, the heavens have dropped before God, This Sinai -- before God, the God of Israel.
689A shower of free-will gifts thou shakest out, O God. Thine inheritance, when it hath been weary, Thou hast established it.
6810Thy company have dwelt in it, Thou preparest in Thy goodness for the poor, O God.
6811The Lord doth give the saying, The female proclaimers [are] a numerous host.
6812Kings of hosts flee utterly away, And a female inhabitant of the house apportioneth spoil.
6813Though ye do lie between two boundaries, Wings of a dove covered with silver, And her pinions with yellow gold.
6814When the Mighty spreadeth kings in it, It doth snow in Salmon.
6815A hill of God [is] the hill of Bashan, A hill of heights [is] the hill of Bashan.
6816Why do ye envy, O high hills, The hill God hath desired for His seat? Jehovah also doth tabernacle for ever.
6817The chariots of God [are] myriads, thousands of changes, The Lord [is] among them, in Sinai, in the sanctuary.
6818Thou hast ascended on high, Thou hast taken captive captivity, Thou hast taken gifts for men, That even the refractory may rest, O Jah God.
6819Blessed [is] the Lord, day by day He layeth on us. God Himself [is] our salvation. Selah.
6820God Himself [is] to us a God for deliverances, And Jehovah Lord hath the outgoings of death.
6821Only -- God doth smite The head of His enemies, The hairy crown of a habitual walker in his guilt.
6822The Lord said: `From Bashan I bring back, I bring back from the depths of the sea.
6823So that thou dashest thy foot in blood, [In the blood of] enemies -- the tongue of Thy dogs.`
6824They have seen Thy goings, O God, Goings of my God, my king, in the sanctuary.
6825Singers have been before, Behind [are] players on instruments, In the midst virgins playing with timbrels.
6826In assemblies bless ye God, The Lord -- from the fountain of Israel.
6827There [is] little Benjamin their ruler, Heads of Judah their defence, Heads of Zebulun -- heads of Naphtali.
6828Thy God hath commanded thy strength, Be strong, O God, this Thou hast wrought for us.
6829Because of Thy temple at Jerusalem, To Thee do kings bring a present.
6830Rebuke a beast of the reeds, a company of bulls, With calves of the peoples, Each humbling himself with pieces of silver, Scatter Thou peoples delighting in conflicts.
6831Come do fat ones out of Egypt, Cush causeth her hands to run to God.
6832Kingdoms of the earth, sing ye to God, Praise ye the Lord. Selah.
6833To him who is riding on the heavens of the heavens of old, Lo, He giveth with His voice a strong voice.
6834Ascribe ye strength to God, Over Israel [is] His excellency, and His strength in the clouds.
6835Fearful, O God, out of Thy sanctuaries, The God of Israel Himself, Giving strength and might to the people. Blessed [is] God!
691To the Overseer. -- `On the Lilies,` by David. Save me, O God, for come have waters unto the soul.
692I have sunk in deep mire, And there is no standing, I have come into the depths of the waters, And a flood hath overflown me.
693I have been wearied with my calling, Burnt hath been my throat, Consumed have been mine eyes, waiting for my God.
694Those hating me without cause Have been more than the hairs of my head, Mighty have been my destroyers, My lying enemies, That which I took not away -- I bring back.
695O God, Thou -- Thou hast known Concerning my overturn, And my desolations from Thee have not been hid.
696Let not those waiting on Thee be ashamed because of me, O Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, Let not those seeking Thee Blush because of me, O God of Israel.
697For because of Thee I have borne reproach, Shame hath covered my face.
698A stranger I have been to my brother, And a foreigner to sons of my mother.
699For zeal for Thy house hath consumed me, And the reproaches of Thy reproachers Have fallen upon me.
6910And I weep in the fasting of my soul, And it is for a reproach to me.
6911And I make my clothing sackcloth, And I am to them for a simile.
6912Those sitting at the gate meditate concerning me, And those drinking strong drink, Play on instruments.
6913And I -- my prayer [is] to Thee, O Jehovah, A time of good pleasure, O God, In the abundance of Thy kindness, Answer me in the truth of Thy salvation.
6914Deliver me from the mire, and let me not sink, Let me be delivered from those hating me, And from deep places of waters.
6915Let not a flood of waters overflow me, Nor let the deep swallow me up, Nor let the pit shut her mouth upon me.
6916Answer me, O Jehovah, for good [is] Thy kindness, According to the abundance Of Thy mercies turn Thou unto me,
6917And hide not Thy face from Thy servant, For I am in distress -- haste, answer me.
6918Be near unto my soul -- redeem it, Because of mine enemies ransom me.
6919Thou -- Thou hast known my reproach, And my shame, and my blushing, Before Thee [are] all mine adversaries.
6920Reproach hath broken my heart, and I am sick, And I look for a bemoaner, and there is none, And for comforters, and I have found none.
6921And they give for my food gall, And for my thirst cause me to drink vinegar.
6922Their table before them is for a snare, And for a recompence -- for a trap.
6923Darkened are their eyes from seeing, And their loins continually shake Thou.
6924Pour upon them Thine indignation, And the fierceness of Thine anger doth seize them.
6925Their tower is desolated, In their tents there is no dweller.
6926For they have pursued him Thou hast smitten, And recount of the pain of Thy pierced ones.
6927Give punishment for their iniquity, And they enter not into Thy righteousness.
6928They are blotted out of the book of life, And with the righteous are not written.
6929And I [am] afflicted and pained, Thy salvation, O God, doth set me on high.
6930I praise the name of God with a song, And I magnify Him with thanksgiving,
6931And it is better to Jehovah than an ox, A bullock -- horned -- hoofed.
6932The humble have seen -- they rejoice, Ye who seek God -- and your heart liveth.
6933For Jehovah hearkeneth unto the needy, And His bound ones He hath not despised.
6934The heavens and earth do praise Him, Seas, and every moving thing in them.
6935For God doth save Zion, And doth build the cities of Judah, And they have dwelt there, and possess it.
6936And the seed of His servants inherit it, And those loving His name dwell in it!
701To the Overseer, by David. -- `To cause to remember.` O God, to deliver me, O Jehovah, for my help, haste.
702Let them be ashamed and confounded Who are seeking my soul, Let them be turned backward and blush Who are desiring my evil.
703Let them turn back because of their shame, Who are saying, `Aha, aha.`
704Let all those seeking Thee joy and be glad in Thee, And let those loving Thy salvation Say continually, `God is magnified.`
705And I [am] poor and needy, O God, haste to me, My help and my deliverer [art] Thou, O Jehovah, tarry Thou not!
711In Thee, O Jehovah, I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed to the age.
712In Thy righteousness Thou dost deliver me, And dost cause me to escape, Incline unto me Thine ear, and save me.
713Be to me for a rock -- a habitation, To go in continually, Thou hast given command to save me, For my rock and my bulwark [art] Thou.
714O my God, cause me to escape From the hand of the wicked, From the hand of the perverse and violent.
715For Thou [art] my hope, O Lord Jehovah, My trust from my youth.
716By Thee I have been supported from the womb, From my mother`s bowels Thou dost cut me out, In Thee [is] my praise continually.
717As a wonder I have been to many, And Thou [art] my strong refuge.
718Filled is my mouth [with] Thy praise, All the day [with] Thy beauty.
719Cast me not off at the time of old age, According to the consumption of my power forsake me not.
7110For mine enemies have spoken against me, And those watching my soul have taken counsel together,
7111Saying, `God hath forsaken him, Pursue and catch him, for there is no deliverer.`
7112O God, be not far from me, O my God, for my help make haste.
7113They are ashamed, they are consumed, Who are opposing my soul, They are covered [with] reproach and blushing, Who are seeking my evil,
7114And I continually do wait with hope, And have added unto all Thy praise.
7115My mouth recounteth Thy righteousness, All the day Thy salvation, For I have not known the numbers.
7116I come in the might of the Lord Jehovah, I mention Thy righteousness -- Thine only.
7117God, Thou hast taught me from my youth, And hitherto I declare Thy wonders.
7118And also unto old age and grey hairs, O God, forsake me not, Till I declare Thy strength to a generation, To every one that cometh Thy might.
7119And Thy righteousness, O God, [is] unto the heights, Because Thou hast done great things, O God, who [is] like Thee?
7120Because Thou hast showed me many and sad distresses, Thou turnest back -- Thou revivest me, And from the depths of the earth, Thou turnest back -- Thou bringest me up.
7121Thou dost increase my greatness, And Thou surroundest -- Thou comfortest me,
7122I also thank Thee with a vessel of psaltery, Thy truth, O my God, I sing to Thee with a harp, O Holy One of Israel,
7123My lips cry aloud when I sing praise to Thee, And my soul that Thou hast redeemed,
7124My tongue also all the day uttereth Thy righteousness, Because ashamed -- because confounded, Have been those seeking my evil!
721By Solomon. O God, Thy judgments to the king give, And Thy righteousness to the king`s son.
722He judgeth Thy people with righteousness, And Thy poor with judgment.
723The mountains bear peace to the people, And the heights by righteousness.
724He judgeth the poor of the people, Giveth deliverance to the sons of the needy, And bruiseth the oppressor.
725They fear Thee with the sun, and before the moon, Generation -- generations.
726He cometh down as rain on mown grass, As showers -- sprinkling the earth.
727Flourish in his days doth the righteous, And abundance of peace till the moon is not.
728And he ruleth from sea unto sea, And from the river unto the ends of earth.
729Before him bow do the inhabitants of the dry places, And his enemies lick the dust.
7210Kings of Tarshish and of the isles send back a present. Kings of Sheba and Seba a reward bring near.
7211And all kings do bow themselves to him, All nations do serve him,
7212For he delivereth the needy who crieth, And the poor when he hath no helper,
7213He hath pity on the poor and needy, And the souls of the needy he saveth,
7214From fraud and from violence he redeemeth their soul, And precious is their blood in his eyes.
7215And he liveth, and giveth to him of the gold of Sheba, And prayeth for him continually, All the day he doth bless him.
7216There is a handful of corn in the earth, On the top of mountains, Shake like Lebanon doth its fruit, And they flourish out of the city as the herb of the earth.
7217His name is to the age, Before the sun is his name continued, And they bless themselves in him, All nations do pronounce him happy.
7218Blessed is Jehovah God, God of Israel, He alone is doing wonders,
7219And blessed [is] the Name of His honour to the age, And the whole earth is filled [with] His honour. Amen, and amen!
7220The prayers of David son of Jesse have been ended.
731A Psalm of Asaph. Only -- good to Israel [is] God, to the clean of heart. And I -- as a little thing, My feet have been turned aside,
732As nothing, have my steps slipped, For I have been envious of the boastful,
733The peace of the wicked I see, That there are no bands at their death,
734And their might [is] firm.
735In the misery of mortals they are not, And with common men they are not plagued.
736Therefore hath pride encircled them, Violence covereth them as a dress.
737Their eye hath come out from fat. The imaginations of the heart transgressed;
738They do corruptly, And they speak in the wickedness of oppression, From on high they speak.
739They have set in the heavens their mouth, And their tongue walketh in the earth.
7310Therefore do His people return hither, And waters of fulness are wrung out to them.
7311And they have said, `How hath God known? And is there knowledge in the Most High?`
7312Lo, these [are] the wicked and easy ones of the age, They have increased strength.
7313Only -- a vain thing! I have purified my heart, And I wash in innocency my hands,
7314And I am plagued all the day, And my reproof [is] every morning.
7315If I have said, `I recount thus,` Lo, a generation of Thy sons I have deceived.
7316And I think to know this, Perverseness it [is] in mine eyes,
7317Till I come in to the sanctuaries of God, I attend to their latter end.
7318Only, in slippery places Thou dost set them, Thou hast caused them to fall to desolations.
7319How have they become a desolation as in a moment, They have been ended -- consumed from terrors.
7320As a dream from awakening, O Lord, In awaking, their image Thou despisest.
7321For my heart doth show itself violent, And my reins prick themselves,
7322And I am brutish, and do not know. A beast I have been with Thee.
7323And I [am] continually with Thee, Thou hast laid hold on my right hand.
7324With Thy counsel Thou dost lead me, And after honour dost receive me.
7325Whom have I in the heavens? And with Thee none I have desired in earth.
7326Consumed hath been my flesh and my heart, The rock of my heart and my portion [is] God to the age.
7327For, lo, those far from Thee do perish, Thou hast cut off every one, Who is going a whoring from Thee.
7328And I -- nearness of God to me [is] good, I have placed in the Lord Jehovah my refuge, To recount all Thy works!
741An Instruction of Asaph. Why, O God, hast Thou cast off for ever? Thine anger smoketh against the flock of Thy pasture.
742Remember Thy company. Thou didst purchase of old, Thou didst redeem the rod of Thy inheritance, This mount Zion -- Thou didst dwell in it.
743Lift up Thy steps to the perpetual desolations, Everything the enemy did wickedly in the sanctuary.
744Roared have thine adversaries, In the midst of Thy meeting-places, They have set their ensigns as ensigns.
745He is known as one bringing in on high Against a thicket of wood -- axes.
746And now, its carvings together With axe and hatchet they break down,
747They have sent into fire Thy sanctuary, to the earth they polluted the tabernacle of Thy name,
748They said in their hearts, `Let us oppress them together,` They did burn all the meeting-places of God in the land.
749Our ensigns we have not seen, There is no more a prophet, Nor with us is one knowing how long.
7410Till when, O God, doth an adversary reproach? Doth an enemy despise thy name for ever?
7411Why dost Thou turn back Thy hand, Even Thy right hand? From the midst of Thy bosom remove [it].
7412And God [is] my king of old, Working salvation in the midst of the earth.
7413Thou hast broken by Thy strength a sea-[monster], Thou hast shivered Heads of dragons by the waters,
7414Thou hast broken the heads of leviathan, Thou makest him food, For the people of the dry places.
7415Thou hast cleaved a fountain and a stream, Thou hast dried up perennial flowings.
7416Thine [is] the day, also Thine [is] the night, Thou hast prepared a light giver -- the sun.
7417Thou hast set up all the borders of earth, Summer and winter Thou hast formed them.
7418Remember this -- an enemy reproached Jehovah, And a foolish people have despised Thy name.
7419Give not up to a company, The soul of Thy turtle-dove, The company of Thy poor ones forget not for ever.
7420Look attentively to the covenant, For the dark places of earth, Have been full of habitations of violence.
7421Let not the oppressed turn back ashamed, Let the poor and needy praise Thy name,
7422Arise, O God, plead Thy plea, Remember Thy reproach from a fool all the day.
7423Forget not the voice of Thine adversaries, The noise of Thy withstanders is going up continually!
751To the Overseer. -- `Destroy not.` -- A Psalm of Asaph. -- A Song. We have given thanks to Thee, O God, We have given thanks, and near [is] Thy name, They have recounted Thy wonders.
752When I receive an appointment, I -- I do judge uprightly.
753Melted is the earth and all its inhabitants, I -- I have pondered its pillars. Selah.
754I have said to the boastful, `Be not boastful,` And to the wicked, `Raise not up a horn.`
755Raise not up on high your horn, (Ye speak with a stiff neck.)
756For not from the east, or from the west, Nor from the wilderness -- [is] elevation.
757But God [is] judge, This He maketh low -- and this He lifteth up.
758For a cup [is] in the hand of Jehovah, And the wine hath foamed, It is full of mixture, and He poureth out of it, Only its dregs wring out, and drink, Do all the wicked of the earth,
759And I -- I declare [it] to the age, I sing praise to the God of Jacob.
7510And all horns of the wicked I cut off, Exalted are the horns of the righteous!
761To the Overseer with stringed instruments. -- A Psalm of Asaph. -- A Song. In Judah [is] God known, in Israel His name [is] great.
762And His tabernacle is in Salem, And His habitation in Zion.
763There he hath shivered arrows of a bow, Shield, and sword, and battle. Selah.
764Bright [art] Thou, honourable above hills of prey.
765Spoiled themselves have the mighty of heart, They have slept their sleep, And none of the men of might found their hands.
766From Thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both rider and horse have been fast asleep.
767Thou, fearful [art] Thou, And who doth stand before Thee, Since Thou hast been angry!
768From heaven Thou hast sounded judgment, Earth hath feared, and hath been still,
769In the rising of God to judgment, To save all the humble of earth. Selah.
7610For the fierceness of man praiseth Thee, The remnant of fierceness Thou girdest on.
7611Vow and complete to Jehovah your God, All ye surrounding him. They bring presents to the Fearful One.
7612He doth gather the spirit of leaders, Fearful to the kings of earth!
771To the Overseer, for Jeduthun. -- A Psalm of Asaph. My voice [is] to God, and I cry, my voice [is] to God, And He hath given ear unto me.
772In a day of my distress the Lord I sought, My hand by night hath been spread out, And it doth not cease, My soul hath refused to be comforted.
773I remember God, and make a noise, I meditate, and feeble is my spirit. Selah.
774Thou hast taken hold of the watches of mine eyes, I have been moved, and I speak not.
775I have reckoned the days of old, The years of the ages.
776I remember my music in the night, With my heart I meditate, and my spirit doth search diligently:
777To the ages doth the Lord cast off? Doth He add to be pleased no more?
778Hath His kindness ceased for ever? The saying failed to all generations?
779Hath God forgotten [His] favours? Hath He shut up in anger His mercies? Selah.
7710And I say: `My weakness is, The changes of the right hand of the Most High.`
7711I mention the doings of Jah, For I remember of old Thy wonders,
7712And I have meditated on all Thy working, And I talk concerning Thy doings.
7713O God, in holiness [is] Thy way, Who [is] a great god like God?
7714Thou [art] the God doing wonders. Thou hast made known among the peoples Thy strength,
7715Thou hast redeemed with strength Thy people, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
7716The waters have seen Thee, O God, The waters have seen Thee, They are afraid -- also depths are troubled.
7717Poured out waters have thick clouds, The skies have given forth a noise, Also -- Thine arrows go up and down.
7718The voice of Thy thunder [is] in the spheres, Lightnings have lightened the world, The earth hath trembled, yea, it shaketh.
7719In the sea [is] Thy way, And Thy paths [are] in many waters, And Thy tracks have not been known.
7720Thou hast led as a flock Thy people, By the hand of Moses and Aaron!
781An Instruction of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, to my law, Incline your ear to sayings of my mouth.
782I open with a simile my mouth, I bring forth hidden things of old,
783That we have heard and do know, And our fathers have recounted to us.
784We do not hide from their sons, To a later generation recounting praises of Jehovah, And His strength, and His wonders that He hath done.
785And He raiseth up a testimony in Jacob, And a law hath placed in Israel, That He commanded our fathers, To make them known to their sons.
786So that a later generation doth know, Sons who are born, do rise and recount to their sons,
787And place in God their confidence, And forget not the doings of God, But keep His commands.
788And they are not like their fathers, A generation apostate and rebellious, A generation! it hath not prepared its heart, Nor stedfast with God [is] its spirit.
789Sons of Ephraim -- armed bearers of bow, Have turned in a day of conflict.
7810They have not kept the covenant of God, And in His law they have refused to walk,
7811And they forget His doings, And His wonders that He shewed them.
7812Before their fathers He hath done wonders, In the land of Egypt -- the field of Zoan.
7813He cleft a sea, and causeth them to pass over, Yea, He causeth waters to stand as a heap.
7814And leadeth them with a cloud by day, And all the night with a light of fire.
7815He cleaveth rocks in a wilderness, And giveth drink -- as the great deep.
7816And bringeth out streams from a rock, And causeth waters to come down as rivers.
7817And they add still to sin against Him, To provoke the Most High in the dry place.
7818And they try God in their heart, To ask food for their lust.
7819And they speak against God -- they said: `Is God able to array a table in a wilderness?`
7820Lo, He hath smitten a rock, And waters flow, yea, streams overflow. `Also -- bread [is] He able to give? Doth He prepare flesh for His people?`
7821Therefore hath Jehovah heard, And He sheweth Himself wroth, And fire hath been kindled against Jacob, And anger also hath gone up against Israel,
7822For they have not believed in God, Nor have they trusted in His salvation.
7823And He commandeth clouds from above, Yea, doors of the heavens He hath opened.
7824And He raineth on them manna to eat, Yea, corn of heaven He hath given to them.
7825Food of the mighty hath each eaten, Venison He sent to them to satiety.
7826He causeth an east wind to journey in the heavens, And leadeth by His strength a south wind,
7827And He raineth on them flesh as dust, And as sand of the seas -- winged fowl,
7828And causeth [it] to fall in the midst of His camp, Round about His tabernacles.
7829And they eat, and are greatly satisfied, And their desire He bringeth to them.
7830They have not been estranged from their desire, Yet [is] their food in their mouth,
7831And the anger of God hath gone up against them, And He slayeth among their fat ones, And youths of Israel He caused to bend.
7832With all this they have sinned again, And have not believed in His wonders.
7833And He consumeth in vanity their days, And their years in trouble.
7834If He slew them, then they sought Him, And turned back, and sought God earnestly,
7835And they remember that God [is] their rock, And God Most High their redeemer.
7836And -- they deceive Him with their mouth, And with their tongue do lie to Him,
7837And their heart hath not been right with Him, And they have not been stedfast in His covenant.
7838And He -- the Merciful One, Pardoneth iniquity, and destroyeth not, And hath often turned back His anger, And waketh not up all His fury.
7839And He remembereth that they [are] flesh, A wind going on -- and it returneth not.
7840How often do they provoke Him in the wilderness, Grieve Him in the desolate place?
7841Yea, they turn back, and try God, And the Holy One of Israel have limited.
7842They have not remembered His hand The day He ransomed them from the adversary.
7843When He set His signs in Egypt, And His wonders in the field of Zoan,
7844And He turneth to blood their streams, And their floods they drink not.
7845He sendeth among them the beetle, and it consumeth them, And the frog, and it destroyeth them,
7846And giveth to the caterpillar their increase, And their labour to the locust.
7847He destroyeth with hail their vine, And their sycamores with frost,
7848And delivereth up to the hail their beasts, And their cattle to the burning flames.
7849He sendeth on them the fury of His anger, Wrath, and indignation, and distress -- A discharge of evil messengers.
7850He pondereth a path for His anger, He kept not back their soul from death, Yea, their life to the pestilence He delivered up.
7851And He smiteth every first-born in Egypt, The first-fruit of the strong in tents of Ham.
7852And causeth His people to journey as a flock, And guideth them as a drove in a wilderness,
7853And He leadeth them confidently, And they have not been afraid, And their enemies hath the sea covered.
7854And He bringeth them in unto the border of His sanctuary, This mountain His right hand had got,
7855And casteth out nations from before them, And causeth them to fall in the line of inheritance, And causeth the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents,
7856And they tempt and provoke God Most High, And His testimonies have not kept.
7857And they turn back, And deal treacherously like their fathers, They have been turned like a deceitful bow,
7858And make Him angry with their high places, And with their graven images make Him zealous,
7859God hath heard, and sheweth Himself wroth. And kicketh exceedingly against Israel.
7860And He leaveth the tabernacle of Shiloh, The tent He had placed among men,
7861And He giveth His strength to captivity, And His beauty into the hand of an adversary,
7862And delivereth up to the sword His people, And with His inheritance shewed Himself angry.
7863His young men hath fire consumed, And His virgins have not been praised.
7864His priests by the sword have fallen, And their widows weep not.
7865And the Lord waketh as a sleeper, As a mighty one crying aloud from wine.
7866And He smiteth His adversaries backward, A reproach age-during He hath put on them,
7867And He kicketh against the tent of Joseph, And on the tribe of Ephraim hath not fixed.
7868And He chooseth the tribe of Judah, With mount Zion that He loved,
7869And buildeth His sanctuary as a high place, Like the earth, He founded it to the age.
7870And He fixeth on David His servant, And taketh him from the folds of a flock,
7871From behind suckling ones He hath brought him in, To rule over Jacob His people, And over Israel His inheritance.
7872And he ruleth them according to the integrity of his heart, And by the skilfulness of his hands leadeth them!
791A Psalm of Asaph. O God, nations have come into Thy inheritance, They have defiled Thy holy temple, They made Jerusalem become heaps,
792They gave the dead bodies of Thy servants Food for the fowls of the heavens, The flesh of Thy saints For the wild beast of the earth.
793They have shed their blood As water round about Jerusalem, And there is none burying.
794We have been a reproach to our neighbours, A scorn and a derision to our surrounders.
795Till when, O Jehovah? art Thou angry for ever? Thy jealousy doth burn as fire.
796Pour Thy fury on the nations who have not known Thee, And on kingdoms that have not called in Thy name.
797For [one] hath devoured Jacob, And his habitation they have made desolate.
798Remember not for us the iniquities of forefathers, Haste, let Thy mercies go before us, For we have been very weak.
799Help us, O God of our salvation, Because of the honour of Thy name, And deliver us, and cover over our sins, For Thy name`s sake.
7910Why do the nations say, `Where [is] their God?` Let be known among the nations before our eyes, The vengeance of the blood of Thy servants that is shed.
7911Let the groaning of the prisoner come in before Thee, According to the greatness of Thine arm, Leave Thou the sons of death.
7912And turn Thou back to our neighbours, Sevenfold unto their bosom, their reproach, Wherewith they reproached Thee, O Lord.
7913And we, Thy people, and the flock of Thy pasture, We give thanks to Thee to the age, To all generations we recount Thy praise!
801To the Overseer. -- `On the Lilies.` A testimony of Asaph. -- A Psalm. Shepherd of Israel, give ear, Leading Joseph as a flock, Inhabiting the cherubs -- shine forth,
802Before Ephraim, and Benjamin, and Manasseh, Wake up Thy might, and come for our salvation.
803O God, cause us to turn back, And cause Thy face to shine, and we are saved.
804Jehovah, God of Hosts, till when? Thou hast burned against the prayer of Thy people.
805Thou hast caused them to eat bread of tears, And causest them to drink With tears a third time.
806Thou makest us a strife to our neighbors, And our enemies mock at it.
807God of Hosts, turn us back, And cause Thy face to shine, and we are saved.
808A vine out of Egypt Thou dost bring, Thou dost cast out nations, and plantest it.
809Thou hast looked before it, and dost root it, And it filleth the land,
8010Covered have been hills [with] its shadow, And its boughs [are] cedars of God.
8011It sendeth forth its branches unto the sea, And unto the river its sucklings.
8012Why hast Thou broken down its hedges, And all passing by the way have plucked it?
8013A boar out of the forest doth waste it, And a wild beast of the fields consumeth it.
8014God of Hosts, turn back, we beseech Thee, Look from heaven, and see, and inspect this vine,
8015And the root that Thy right hand planted, And the branch Thou madest strong for Thee,
8016Burnt with fire -- cut down, From the rebuke of Thy face they perish.
8017Let Thy hand be on the man of Thy right hand, On the son of man Thou hast strengthened for Thyself.
8018And we do not go back from Thee, Thou dost revive us, and in Thy name we call.
8019O Jehovah, God of Hosts, turn us back, Cause Thy face to shine, and we are saved!
811To the Overseer. -- `On the Gittith.` By Asaph. Cry aloud to God our strength, Shout to the God of Jacob.
812Lift up a song, and give out a timbrel, A pleasant harp with psaltery.
813Blow in the month a trumpet, In the new moon, at the day of our festival,
814For a statute to Israel it [is], An ordinance of the God of Jacob.
815A testimony on Joseph He hath placed it, In his going forth over the land of Egypt. A lip, I have not known -- I hear.
816From the burden his shoulder I turned aside, His hands from the basket pass over.
817In distress thou hast called and I deliver thee, I answer thee in the secret place of thunder, I try thee by the waters of Meribah. Selah.
818Hear, O My people, and I testify to thee, O Israel, if thou dost hearken to me:
819There is not in thee a strange god, And thou bowest not thyself to a strange god.
8110I [am] Jehovah thy God, Who bringeth thee up out of the land of Egypt. Enlarge thy mouth, and I fill it.
8111But, My people hearkened not to My voice, And Israel hath not consented to Me.
8112And I send them away in the enmity of their heart, They walk in their own counsels.
8113O that My people were hearkening to Me, Israel in My ways would walk.
8114As a little thing their enemies I cause to bow, And against their adversaries I turn back My hand,
8115Those hating Jehovah feign obedience to Him, But their time is -- to the age.
8116He causeth him to eat of the fat of wheat, And [with] honey from a rock I satisfy thee!
821-- A Psalm of Asaph. God hath stood in the company of God, In the midst God doth judge.
822Till when do ye judge perversely? And the face of the wicked lift up? Selah.
823Judge ye the weak and fatherless, The afflicted and the poor declare righteous.
824Let the weak and needy escape, From the hand of the wicked deliver them.
825They knew not, nor do they understand, In darkness they walk habitually, Moved are all the foundations of earth.
826I -- I have said, `Gods ye [are], And sons of the Most High -- all of you,
827But as man ye die, and as one of the heads ye fall,
828Rise, O God, judge the earth, For Thou hast inheritance among all the nations!
831A Song, -- A Psalm of Asaph. O God, let there be no silence to Thee, Be not silent, nor be quiet, O God.
832For, lo, Thine enemies do roar, And those hating Thee have lifted up the head,
833Against Thy people they take crafty counsel, And consult against Thy hidden ones.
834They have said, `Come, And we cut them off from [being] a nation, And the name of Israel is not remembered any more.`
835For they consulted in heart together, Against Thee a covenant they make,
836Tents of Edom, and Ishmaelites, Moab, and the Hagarenes,
837Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia with inhabitants of Tyre,
838Asshur also is joined with them, They have been an arm to sons of Lot. Selah.
839Do to them as [to] Midian, As [to] Sisera, as [to] Jabin, at the stream Kishon.
8310They were destroyed at Endor, They were dung for the ground!
8311Make their nobles as Oreb and as Zeeb, And as Zebah and Zalmunna all their princes,
8312Who have said, `Let us occupy for ourselves The comely places of God.`
8313O my God, make them as a rolling thing, As stubble before wind.
8314As a fire doth burn a forest, And as a flame setteth hills on fire,
8315So dost Thou pursue them with Thy whirlwind, And with Thy hurricane troublest them.
8316Fill their faces [with] shame, And they seek Thy name, O Jehovah.
8317They are ashamed and troubled for ever, Yea, they are confounded and lost.
8318And they know that Thou -- (Thy name [is] Jehovah -- by Thyself,) [Art] the Most High over all the earth!
841To the Overseer. -- `On the Gittith By sons of Korah.` -- A Psalm. How beloved Thy tabernacles, Jehovah of Hosts!
842My soul desired, yea, it hath also been consumed, For the courts of Jehovah, My heart and my flesh cry aloud unto the living God,
843(Even a sparrow hath found a house, And a swallow a nest for herself, Where she hath placed her brood,) Thine altars, O Jehovah of Hosts, My king and my God.
844O the happiness of those inhabiting Thy house, Yet do they praise Thee. Selah.
845O the happiness of a man whose strength is in Thee, Highways [are] in their heart.
846Those passing through a valley of weeping, A fountain do make it, Blessings also cover the director.
847They go from strength unto strength, He appeareth unto God in Zion.
848O Jehovah, God of Hosts, hear my prayer, Give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.
849Our shield, see, O God, And behold the face of Thine anointed,
8410For good [is] a day in Thy courts, O Teacher! I have chosen rather to be at the threshold, In the house of my God, Than to dwell in tents of wickedness.
8411For a sun and a shield [is] Jehovah God, Grace and honour doth Jehovah give. He withholdeth not good To those walking in uprightness.
8412Jehovah of Hosts! O the happiness of a man trusting in Thee.
851To the Overseer. -- By sons of Korah. A Psalm. Thou hast accepted, O Jehovah, Thy land, Thou hast turned [to] the captivity of Jacob.
852Thou hast borne away the iniquity of Thy people, Thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.
853Thou hast gathered up all Thy wrath, Thou hast turned back from the fierceness of Thine anger.
854Turn back [to] us, O God of our salvation, And make void Thine anger with us.
855To the age art Thou angry against us? Dost Thou draw out Thine anger To generation and generation?
856Dost Thou not turn back? Thou revivest us, And Thy people do rejoice in Thee.
857Show us, O Jehovah, thy kindness, And Thy salvation Thou dost give to us.
858I hear what God Jehovah speaketh, For He speaketh peace unto His people, And unto His saints, and they turn not back to folly.
859Only, near to those fearing Him [is] His salvation, That honour may dwell in our land.
8510Kindness and truth have met, Righteousness and peace have kissed,
8511Truth from the earth springeth up, And righteousness from heaven looketh out,
8512Jehovah also giveth that which is good, And our land doth give its increase.
8513Righteousness before Him goeth, And maketh His footsteps for a way!
861A Prayer of David. Incline, O Jehovah, Thine ear, Answer me, for I [am] poor and needy.
862Keep my soul, for I [am] pious, Save Thy servant -- who is trusting to Thee, O Thou, my God.
863Favour me, O Lord, for to Thee I call all the day.
864Rejoice the soul of Thy servant, For unto Thee, O Lord, my soul I lift up.
865For Thou, Lord, [art] good and forgiving. And abundant in kindness to all calling Thee.
866Hear, O Jehovah, my prayer, And attend to the voice of my supplications.
867In a day of my distress I call Thee, For Thou dost answer me.
868There is none like Thee among the gods, O Lord, And like Thy works there are none.
869All nations that Thou hast made Come and bow themselves before Thee, O Lord, And give honour to Thy name.
8610For great [art] Thou, and doing wonders, Thou [art] God Thyself alone.
8611Show me, O Jehovah, Thy way, I walk in Thy truth, My heart doth rejoice to fear Thy name.
8612I confess Thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I honour Thy name to the age.
8613For Thy kindness [is] great toward me, And Thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.
8614O God, the proud have risen up against me, And a company of the terrible sought my soul, And have not placed Thee before them,
8615And Thou, O Lord, [art] God, merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness and truth.
8616Look unto me, and favour me, Give Thy strength to Thy servant, And give salvation to a son of Thine handmaid.
8617Do with me a sign for good, And those hating me see and are ashamed, For Thou, O Jehovah, hast helped me, Yea, Thou hast comforted me!
871By sons of Korah. -- A Psalm, a song. His foundation [is] in holy mountains.
872Jehovah is loving the gates of Zion Above all the tabernacles of Jacob.
873Honourable things are spoken in Thee, O city of God. Selah.
874I mention Rahab and Babel to those knowing Me, Lo, Philistia, and Tyre, with Cush! This [one] was born there.
875And of Zion it is said: Each one was born in her, And He, the Most High, doth establish her.
876Jehovah doth recount in the describing of the peoples, `This [one] was born there.` Selah.
877Singers also as players on instruments, All my fountains [are] in Thee!
881A Song, a Psalm, by sons of Korah, to the Overseer, `Concerning the Sickness of Afflictions.` -- An instruction, by Heman the Ezrahite. O Jehovah, God of my salvation, Daily I have cried, nightly before Thee,
882My prayer cometh in before Thee, Incline Thine ear to my loud cry,
883For my soul hath been full of evils, And my life hath come to Sheol.
884I have been reckoned with those going down [to] the pit, I have been as a man without strength.
885Among the dead -- free, As pierced ones lying in the grave, Whom Thou hast not remembered any more, Yea, they by Thy hand have been cut off.
886Thou hast put me in the lowest pit, In dark places, in depths.
887Upon me hath Thy fury lain, And [with] all Thy breakers Thou hast afflicted. Selah.
888Thou hast put mine acquaintance far from me, Thou hast made me an abomination to them, Shut up -- I go not forth.
889Mine eye hath grieved because of affliction, I called Thee, O Jehovah, all the day, I have spread out unto Thee my hands.
8810To the dead dost Thou do wonders? Do Rephaim rise? do they thank Thee? Selah.
8811Is Thy kindness recounted in the grave? Thy faithfulness in destruction?
8812Are Thy wonders known in the darkness? And Thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
8813And I, unto Thee, O Jehovah, I have cried, And in the morning doth my prayer come before Thee.
8814Why, O Jehovah, castest Thou off my soul? Thou hidest Thy face from me.
8815I [am] afflicted, and expiring from youth, I have borne Thy terrors -- I pine away.
8816Over me hath Thy wrath passed, Thy terrors have cut me off,
8817They have surrounded me as waters all the day, They have gone round against me together,
8818Thou hast put far from me lover and friend, Mine acquaintance [is] the place of darkness!
891An instruction, by Ethan the Ezrahite. Of the kind acts of Jehovah, to the age I sing, To all generations I make known Thy faithfulness with my mouth,
892For I said, `To the age is kindness built, The heavens! Thou dost establish Thy faithfulness in them.`
893I have made a covenant for My chosen, I have sworn to David My servant:
894`Even to the age do I establish thy seed, And have built to generation and generation thy throne. Selah.
895and the heavens confess Thy wonders, O Jehovah, Thy faithfulness also [is] in an assembly of holy ones.
896For who in the sky, Compareth himself to Jehovah? Is like to Jehovah among sons of the mighty?
897God is very terrible, In the secret counsel of His holy ones, And fearful over all surrounding Him.
898O Jehovah, God of Hosts, Who [is] like Thee -- a strong Jah? And Thy faithfulness [is] round about Thee.
899Thou [art] ruler over the pride of the sea, In the lifting up of its billows Thou dost restrain them.
8910Thou hast bruised Rahab, as one wounded. With the arm of Thy strength Thou hast scattered Thine enemies.
8911Thine [are] the heavens -- the earth also [is] Thine, The habitable world and its fulness, Thou hast founded them.
8912North and south Thou hast appointed them, Tabor and Hermon in Thy name do sing.
8913Thou hast an arm with might, Strong is Thy hand -- high Thy right hand.
8914Righteousness and judgment [Are] the fixed place of Thy throne, Kindness and truth go before Thy face.
8915O the happiness of the people knowing the shout, O Jehovah, in the light of Thy face they walk habitually.
8916In Thy name they rejoice all the day, And in Thy righteousness they are exalted,
8917For the beauty of their strength [art] Thou, And in Thy good will is our horn exalted,
8918For of Jehovah [is] our shield, And of the Holy One of Israel our king.
8919Then Thou hast spoken in vision, To Thy saint, yea, Thou sayest, I have placed help upon a mighty one, Exalted a chosen one out of the people,
8920I have found David My servant, With My holy oil I have anointed him.
8921With whom My hand is established, My arm also doth strengthen him.
8922An enemy exacteth not upon him, And a son of perverseness afflicteth him not.
8923And I have beaten down before him his adversaries, And those hating him I plague,
8924And My faithfulness and kindness [are] with him, And in My name is his horn exalted.
8925And I have set on the sea his hand, And on the rivers his right hand.
8926He proclaimeth me: `Thou [art] my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation.`
8927I also first-born do appoint him, Highest of the kings of the earth.
8928To the age I keep for him My kindness, And My covenant [is] stedfast with him.
8929And I have set his seed for ever, And his throne as the days of the heavens.
8930If his sons forsake My law, And in My judgments do not walk;
8931If My statutes they pollute, And My commands do not keep,
8932I have looked after with a rod their transgression, And with strokes their iniquity,
8933And My kindness I break not from him, Nor do I deal falsely in My faithfulness.
8934I profane not My covenant, And that which is going forth from My lips I change not.
8935Once I have sworn by My holiness, I lie not to David,
8936His seed is to the age, And his throne [is] as the sun before Me,
8937As the moon it is established -- to the age, And the witness in the sky is stedfast. Selah.
8938And Thou, Thou hast cast off, and dost reject, Thou hast shown Thyself wroth With Thine anointed,
8939Hast rejected the covenant of Thy servant, Thou hast polluted to the earth his crown,
8940Thou hast broken down all his hedges, Thou hast made his fenced places a ruin.
8941Spoiled him have all passing by the way, He hath been a reproach to his neighbours,
8942Thou hast exalted the right hand of his adversaries, Thou hast caused all his enemies to rejoice.
8943Also -- Thou turnest back the sharpness of his sword, And hast not established him in battle,
8944Hast caused [him] to cease from his brightness, And his throne to the earth hast cast down.
8945Thou hast shortened the days of his youth, Hast covered him over [with] shame. Selah.
8946Till when, O Jehovah, art Thou hidden? For ever doth Thy fury burn as fire?
8947Remember, I pray Thee, what [is] life-time? Wherefore in vain hast Thou created All the sons of men?
8948Who [is] the man that liveth, and doth not see death? He delivereth his soul from the hand of Sheol. Selah.
8949Where [are] Thy former kindnesses, O Lord. Thou hast sworn to David in Thy faithfulness,
8950Remember, O Lord, the reproach of Thy servants, I have borne in my bosom all the strivings of the peoples,
8951Wherewith Thine enemies reproached, O Jehovah, Wherewith they have reproached The steps of Thine anointed.
8952Blessed [is] Jehovah to the age. Amen, and amen!
901A Prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, a habitation Thou -- Thou hast been, To us -- in generation and generation,
902Before mountains were brought forth, And Thou dost form the earth and the world, Even from age unto age Thou [art] God.
903Thou turnest man unto a bruised thing, And sayest, Turn back, ye sons of men.
904For a thousand years in Thine eyes [are] as yesterday, For it passeth on, yea, a watch by night.
905Thou hast inundated them, they are asleep, In the morning as grass he changeth.
906In the morning it flourisheth, and hath changed, At evening it is cut down, and hath withered.
907For we were consumed in Thine anger, And in Thy fury we have been troubled.
908Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee, Our hidden things at the light of Thy face,
909For all our days pined away in Thy wrath, We consumed our years as a meditation.
9010Days of our years, in them [are] seventy years, And if, by reason of might, eighty years, Yet [is] their enlargement labour and vanity, For it hath been cut off hastily, and we fly away.
9011Who knoweth the power of Thine anger? And according to Thy fear -- Thy wrath?
9012To number our days aright let [us] know, And we bring the heart to wisdom.
9013Turn back, O Jehovah, till when? And repent concerning Thy servants.
9014Satisfy us at morn [with] Thy kindness, And we sing and rejoice all our days.
9015Cause us to rejoice according to the days Wherein Thou hast afflicted us, The years we have seen evil.
9016Let Thy work appear unto Thy servants, And Thine honour on their sons.
9017And let the pleasantness of Jehovah our God be upon us, And the work of our hands establish on us, Yea, the work of our hands establish it!
911He who is dwelling In the secret place of the Most High, In the shade of the Mighty lodgeth habitually,
912He is saying of Jehovah, `My refuge, and my bulwark, my God, I trust in Him,`
913For He delivereth thee from the snare of a fowler, From a calamitous pestilence.
914With His pinion He covereth thee over, And under His wings thou dost trust, A shield and buckler [is] His truth.
915Thou art not afraid of fear by night, Of arrow that flieth by day,
916Of pestilence in thick darkness that walketh, Of destruction that destroyeth at noon,
917There fall at thy side a thousand, And a myriad at thy right hand, Unto thee it cometh not nigh.
918But with thine eyes thou lookest, And the reward of the wicked thou seest,
919(For Thou, O Jehovah, [art] my refuge,) The Most High thou madest thy habitation.
9110Evil happeneth not unto thee, And a plague cometh not near thy tent,
9111For His messengers He chargeth for thee, To keep thee in all thy ways,
9112On the hands they bear thee up, Lest thou smite against a stone thy foot.
9113On lion and asp thou treadest, Thou trampest young lion and dragon.
9114Because in Me he hath delighted, I also deliver him -- I set him on high, Because he hath known My name.
9115He doth call Me, and I answer him, I [am] with him in distress, I deliver him, and honour him.
9116With length of days I satisfy him, And I cause him to look on My salvation!
921A Psalm. -- A Song for the sabbath-day. Good to give thanks to Jehovah, And to sing praises to Thy name, O Most High,
922To declare in the morning Thy kindness, And Thy faithfulness in the nights.
923On ten strings and on psaltery, On higgaion, with harp.
924For Thou hast caused me to rejoice, O Jehovah, in Thy work, Concerning the works of Thy hands I sing.
925How great have been Thy works, O Jehovah, Very deep have been Thy thoughts.
926A brutish man doth not know, And a fool understandeth not this; --
927When the wicked flourish as a herb, And blossom do all workers of iniquity -- For their being destroyed for ever and ever!
928And Thou [art] high to the age, O Jehovah.
929For, lo, Thine enemies, O Jehovah, For, lo, Thine enemies, do perish, Separate themselves do all workers of iniquity.
9210And Thou exaltest as a reem my horn, I have been anointed with fresh oil.
9211And mine eye looketh on mine enemies, Of those rising up against me, The evil doers, do mine ears hear.
9212The righteous as a palm-tree flourisheth, As a cedar in Lebanon he groweth.
9213Those planted in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of our God do flourish.
9214Still they bring forth in old age, Fat and flourishing are they,
9215To declare that upright [is] Jehovah my rock, And there is no perverseness in Him!
931Jehovah hath reigned, Excellency He hath put on, Jehovah put on strength, He girded Himself, Also -- established is the world, unmoved.
932Established is Thy throne since then, From the age Thou [art].
933Floods have lifted up, O Jehovah, Floods have lifted up their voice, Floods lift up their breakers.
934Than the voices of many mighty waters, Breakers of a sea, mighty on high [is] Jehovah,
935Thy testimonies have been very stedfast, To Thy house comely [is] holiness, O Jehovah, for length of days!
941God of vengeance -- Jehovah! God of vengeance, shine forth.
942Be lifted up, O Judge of the earth, Send back a recompence on the proud.
943Till when [do] the wicked, O Jehovah? Till when do the wicked exult?
944They utter -- they speak an old saw, All working iniquity do boast themselves.
945Thy people, O Jehovah, they bruise, And Thine inheritance they afflict.
946Widow and sojourner they slay, And fatherless ones they murder.
947And they say, `Jehovah doth not see, And the God of Jacob doth not consider.`
948Consider, ye brutish among the people, And ye foolish, when do ye act wisely?
949He who planteth the ear doth He not hear? He who formeth the eye doth He not see?
9410He who is instructing nations, Doth He not reprove? He who is teaching man knowledge [is] Jehovah.
9411He knoweth the thoughts of man, that they [are] vanity.
9412O the happiness of the man Whom Thou instructest, O Jah, And out of Thy law teachest him,
9413To give rest to him from days of evil, While a pit is digged for the wicked.
9414For Jehovah leaveth not His people, And His inheritance forsaketh not.
9415For to righteousness judgment turneth back, And after it all the upright of heart,
9416Who riseth up for me with evil doers? Who stationeth himself for me with workers of iniquity?
9417Unless Jehovah [were] a help to me, My soul had almost inhabited silence.
9418If I have said, `My foot hath slipped,` Thy kindness, O Jehovah, supporteth me.
9419In the abundance of my thoughts within me, Thy comforts delight my soul.
9420Is a throne of mischief joined [with] Thee? A framer of perverseness by statute?
9421They decree against the soul of the righteous, And innocent blood declare wicked.
9422And Jehovah is for a high place to me, And my God [is] for a rock -- my refuge,
9423And turneth back on them their iniquity, And in their wickedness cutteth them off; Jehovah our God doth cut them off!
951Come, we sing to Jehovah, We shout to the rock of our salvation.
952We come before His face with thanksgiving, With psalms we shout to Him.
953For a great God [is] Jehovah, And a great king over all gods.
954In whose hand [are] the deep places of earth, And the strong places of hills [are] His.
955Whose is the sea, and He made it, And His hands formed the dry land.
956Come in, we bow ourselves, and we bend, We kneel before Jehovah our Maker.
957For He [is] our God, and we the people of His pasture, And the flock of His hand, To-day, if to His voice ye hearken,
958Harden not your heart as [in] Meribah, As [in] the day of Massah in the wilderness,
959Where your fathers have tried Me, Have proved Me, yea, have seen My work.
9510Forty years I am weary of the generation, And I say, `A people erring in heart -- they! And they have not known My ways:`
9511Where I sware in Mine anger, `If they come in unto My rest -- !`
961Sing to Jehovah a new song, Sing to Jehovah all the earth.
962Sing to Jehovah, bless His name, Proclaim from day to day His salvation.
963Declare among nations His honour, Among all the peoples His wonders.
964For great [is] Jehovah, and praised greatly, Fearful He [is] over all gods.
965For all the gods of the peoples [are] nought, And Jehovah made the heavens.
966Honour and majesty [are] before Him, Strength and beauty in His sanctuary.
967Ascribe to Jehovah, O families of the peoples, Ascribe to Jehovah honour and strength.
968Ascribe to Jehovah the honour of His name, Lift up a present and come in to His courts.
969Bow yourselves to Jehovah, In the honour of holiness, Be afraid of His presence, all the earth.
9610Say among nations, `Jehovah hath reigned, Also -- established is the world, unmoved, He judgeth the peoples in uprightness.`
9611The heavens joy, and the earth is joyful, The sea and its fulness roar.
9612The field exulteth, and all that [is] in it, Then sing do all trees of the forest,
9613Before Jehovah, for He hath come, For He hath come to judge the earth. He judgeth the world in righteousness, And the peoples in His faithfulness!
971Jehovah hath reigned, The earth is joyful, many isles rejoice.
972Cloud and darkness [are] round about Him, Righteousness and judgment the basis of His throne.
973Fire before Him goeth, And burneth round about His adversaries.
974Lightened have His lightnings the world, The earth hath seen, and is pained.
975Hills, like wax, melted before Jehovah, Before the Lord of all the earth.
976The heavens declared His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His honour.
977Ashamed are all servants of a graven image, Those boasting themselves in idols, Bow yourselves to him, all ye gods.
978Zion hath heard and rejoiceth, And daughters of Judah are joyful, Because of Thy judgments, O Jehovah.
979For Thou, Jehovah, [art] Most High over all the earth, Greatly Thou hast been exalted over all gods.
9710Ye who love Jehovah, hate evil, He is keeping the souls of His saints, From the hand of the wicked he delivereth them.
9711Light [is] sown for the righteous, And for the upright of heart -- joy.
9712Rejoice, ye righteous, in Jehovah, And give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness!
981A Psalm. Sing ye to Jehovah a new song, For wonders He hath done, Given salvation to Him hath His right hand and His holy arm.
982Jehovah hath made known His salvation, Before the eyes of the nations, He hath revealed His righteousness,
983He hath remembered His kindness, And His faithfulness to the house of Israel, All ends of earth have seen the salvation of our God.
984Shout to Jehovah, all the earth, Break forth, and cry aloud, and sing.
985Sing to Jehovah with harp, With harp, and voice of praise,
986With trumpets, and voice of a cornet, Shout ye before the king Jehovah.
987Roar doth the sea and its fulness, The world and the inhabitants in it.
988Floods clap hand, together hills cry aloud,
989Before Jehovah, For He hath come to judge the earth, He judgeth the world in righteousness, And the people in uprightness!
991Jehovah hath reigned, peoples tremble, The Inhabitant of the cherubs, the earth shaketh.
992Jehovah in Zion [is] great, And high He [is] over all the peoples.
993They praise Thy name, `Great, and fearful, holy [it] is.`
994And the strength of the king Hath loved judgment, Thou -- Thou hast established uprightness; Judgment and righteousness in Jacob, Thou -- Thou hast done.
995Exalt ye Jehovah our God, And bow yourselves at His footstool, holy [is] He.
996Moses and Aaron among His priests, And Samuel among those proclaiming His name. They are calling unto Jehovah, And He doth answer them.
997In a pillar of cloud He speaketh unto them, They have kept His testimonies, And the statute He hath given to them.
998O Jehovah, our God, Thou hast afflicted them, A God forgiving Thou hast been to them, And taking vengeance on their actions.
999Exalt ye Jehovah our God, And bow yourselves at His holy hill, For holy [is] Jehovah our God!
1001A Psalm of Thanksgiving. Shout to Jehovah, all the earth.
1002Serve Jehovah with joy, come before him with singing.
1003Know that Jehovah He [is] God, He made us, and we are His, His people -- and the flock of His pasture.
1004Enter ye His gates with thanksgiving, His courts with praise, Give ye thanks to Him, bless ye His Name.
1005For good [is] Jehovah, to the age His kindness, And to generation and generation His faithfulness!
1011A Psalm of David. Kindness and judgment I sing, To Thee, O Jehovah, I sing praise.
1012I act wisely in a perfect way, When dost Thou come in unto me? I walk habitually in the integrity of my heart, In the midst of my house.
1013I set not before mine eyes a worthless thing, The work of those turning aside I have hated, It adhereth not to me.
1014A perverse heart turneth aside from me, Wickedness I know not.
1015Whoso slandereth in secret his neighbour, Him I cut off, The high of eyes and proud of heart, him I endure not.
1016Mine eyes are on the faithful of the land, To dwell with me, Whoso is walking in a perfect way, he serveth me.
1017He dwelleth not in my house who is working deceit, Whoso is speaking lies Is not established before mine eyes.
1018At morning I cut off all the wicked of the land, To cut off from the city of Jehovah All the workers of iniquity!
1021A Prayer of the afflicted when he is feeble, and before Jehovah poureth out his plaint. O Jehovah, hear my prayer, yea, my cry to Thee cometh.
1022Hide not Thou Thy face from me, In a day of mine adversity, Incline unto me Thine ear, In the day I call, haste, answer me.
1023For consumed in smoke have been my days, And my bones as a fire-brand have burned.
1024Smitten as the herb, and withered, is my heart, For I have forgotten to eat my bread.
1025From the voice of my sighing Hath my bone cleaved to my flesh.
1026I have been like to a pelican of the wilderness, I have been as an owl of the dry places.
1027I have watched, and I am As a bird alone on the roof.
1028All the day mine enemies reproached me, Those mad at me have sworn against me.
1029Because ashes as bread I have eaten, And my drink with weeping have mingled,
10210From Thine indignation and Thy wrath, For Thou hast lifted me up, And dost cast me down.
10211My days as a shadow [are] stretched out, And I -- as the herb I am withered.
10212And Thou, O Jehovah, to the age abidest, And Thy memorial to all generations.
10213Thou -- Thou risest -- Thou pitiest Zion, For the time to favour her, For the appointed time hath come.
10214For Thy servants have been pleased with her stones, And her dust they favour.
10215And nations fear the name of Jehovah, And all kings of the earth Thine honour,
10216For Jehovah hath builded Zion, He hath been seen in His honour,
10217He turned unto the prayer of the destitute, And He hath not despised their prayer.
10218This is written for a later generation, And the people created do praise Jah.
10219For He hath looked From the high place of His sanctuary. Jehovah from heaven unto earth looked attentively,
10220To hear the groan of the prisoner, To loose sons of death,
10221To declare in Zion the name of Jehovah, And His praise in Jerusalem,
10222In the peoples being gathered together, And the kingdoms -- to serve Jehovah.
10223He hath humbled in the way my power, He hath shortened my days.
10224I say, `My God, take me not up in the midst of my days,` Through all generations [are] Thine years.
10225Beforetime the earth Thou didst found, And the work of Thy hands [are] the heavens.
10226They -- They perish, and Thou remainest, And all of them as a garment become old, As clothing Thou changest them, And they are changed.
10227And Thou [art] the same, and Thine years are not finished.
10228The sons of Thy servants do continue, And their seed before Thee is established!
1031By David. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And all my inward parts -- His Holy Name.
1032Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And forget not all His benefits,
1033Who is forgiving all thine iniquities, Who is healing all thy diseases,
1034Who is redeeming from destruction thy life, Who is crowning thee -- kindness and mercies,
1035Who is satisfying with good thy desire, Renew itself as an eagle doth thy youth.
1036Jehovah is doing righteousness and judgments For all the oppressed.
1037He maketh known His ways to Moses, To the sons of Israel His acts.
1038Merciful and gracious [is] Jehovah, Slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.
1039Not for ever doth He strive, Nor to the age doth He watch.
10310Not according to our sins hath He done to us, Nor according to our iniquities Hath He conferred benefits upon us.
10311For, as the height of the heavens [is] above the earth, His kindness hath been mighty over those fearing Him.
10312As the distance of east from west He hath put far from us our transgressions.
10313As a father hath mercy on sons, Jehovah hath mercy on those fearing Him.
10314For He hath known our frame, Remembering that we [are] dust.
10315Mortal man! as grass [are] his days, As a flower of the field so he flourisheth;
10316For a wind hath passed over it, and it is not, And its place doth not discern it any more.
10317And the kindness of Jehovah [Is] from age even unto age on those fearing Him, And His righteousness to sons` sons,
10318To those keeping His covenant, And to those remembering His precepts to do them.
10319Jehovah in the heavens Hath established His throne, And His kingdom over all hath ruled.
10320Bless Jehovah, ye His messengers, Mighty in power -- doing His word, To hearken to the voice of His Word.
10321Bless Jehovah, all ye His hosts, His ministers -- doing His pleasure.
10322Bless Jehovah, all ye His works, In all places of His dominion. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah!
1041Bless, O my soul, Jehovah! Jehovah, my God, Thou hast been very great, Honour and majesty Thou hast put on.
1042Covering himself [with] light as a garment, Stretching out the heavens as a curtain,
1043Who is laying the beam of His upper chambers in the waters, Who is making thick clouds His chariot, Who is walking on wings of wind,
1044Making His messengers -- the winds, His ministers -- the flaming fire.
1045He hath founded earth on its bases, It is not moved to the age and for ever.
1046The abyss! as with clothing Thou hast covered it, Above hills do waters stand.
1047From Thy rebuke they flee, From the voice of Thy thunder haste away.
1048They go up hills -- they go down valleys, Unto a place Thou hast founded for them.
1049A border Thou hast set, they pass not over, They turn not back to cover the earth.
10410Who is sending forth fountains in valleys, Between hills they go on.
10411They water every beast of the field, Wild asses break their thirst.
10412By them the fowl of the heavens doth dwell, From between the branches They give forth the voice.
10413Watering hills from His upper chambers, From the fruit of Thy works is the earth satisfied.
10414Causing grass to spring up for cattle, And herb for the service of man, To bring forth bread from the earth,
10415And wine -- it rejoiceth the heart of man, To cause the face to shine from oil, And bread -- the heart of man it supporteth.
10416Satisfied [are] the trees of Jehovah, Cedars of Lebanon that He hath planted,
10417Where birds do make nests, The stork -- the firs [are] her house.
10418The high hills [are] for wild goats, Rocks [are] a refuge for conies,
10419He made the moon for seasons, The sun hath known his place of entrance.
10420Thou settest darkness, and it is night, In it doth every beast of the forest creep.
10421The young lions are roaring for prey, And to seek from God their food.
10422The sun riseth, they are gathered, And in their dens they crouch.
10423Man goeth forth to his work, And to his service -- till evening.
10424How many have been Thy works, O Jehovah, All of them in wisdom Thou hast made, Full is the earth of thy possessions.
10425This, the sea, great and broad of sides, There [are] moving things -- innumerable, Living creatures -- small with great.
10426There do ships go: leviathan, That Thou hast formed to play in it.
10427All of them unto Thee do look, To give their food in its season.
10428Thou dost give to them -- they gather, Thou dost open Thy hand -- they [are] satisfied [with] good.
10429Thou hidest Thy face -- they are troubled, Thou gatherest their spirit -- they expire, And unto their dust they turn back.
10430Thou sendest out Thy Spirit, they are created, And Thou renewest the face of the ground.
10431The honour of Jehovah is to the age, Jehovah rejoiceth in His works,
10432Who is looking to earth, and it trembleth, He cometh against hills, and they smoke.
10433I sing to Jehovah during my life, I sing praise to my God while I exist.
10434Sweet is my meditation on Him, I -- I do rejoice in Jehovah.
10435Consumed are sinners from the earth, And the wicked are no more. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah. Praise ye Jehovah!
1051Give ye thanks to Jehovah -- call ye in His name, Make known among the peoples His acts.
1052Sing ye to Him -- sing praise to Him, Meditate ye on all His wonders.
1053Boast yourselves in His Holy Name, The heart of those seeking Jehovah rejoiceth.
1054Seek ye Jehovah and His strength, Seek ye His face continually.
1055Remember His wonders that He did, His signs and the judgments of His mouth.
1056O seed of Abraham, His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.
1057He [is] Jehovah our God, In all the earth [are] His judgments.
1058He hath remembered to the age His covenant, The word He commanded to a thousand generations,
1059That He hath made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac,
10510And doth establish it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel -- a covenant age-during,
10511Saying, `To thee I give the land of Canaan, The portion of your inheritance,`
10512In their being few in number, But a few, and sojourners in it.
10513And they go up and down, from nation unto nation, From a kingdom unto another people.
10514He hath not suffered any to oppress them And He reproveth for their sakes kings.
10515`Strike not against Mine anointed, And to My prophets do not evil.`
10516And He calleth a famine on the land, The whole staff of bread He hath broken.
10517He hath sent before them a man, For a servant hath Joseph been sold.
10518They have afflicted with fetters his feet, Iron hath entered his soul,
10519Till the time of the coming of His word The saying of Jehovah hath tried him.
10520The king hath sent, and looseth him, The ruler of the peoples, and draweth him out.
10521He hath made him lord of his house, And ruler over all his possessions.
10522To bind his chiefs at his pleasure, And his elders he maketh wise.
10523And Israel cometh in to Egypt, And Jacob hath sojourned in the land of Ham.
10524And He maketh His people very fruitful, And maketh it mightier than its adversaries.
10525He turned their heart to hate His people, To conspire against His servants.
10526He hath sent Moses His servant, Aaron whom He had fixed on.
10527They have set among them the matters of His signs, And wonders in the land of Ham.
10528He hath sent darkness, and it is dark, And they have not provoked His word.
10529He hath turned their waters to blood, And putteth to death their fish.
10530Teemed hath their land [with] frogs, In the inner chambers of their kings.
10531He hath said, and the beetle cometh, Lice into all their border.
10532He hath made their showers hail, A flaming fire [is] in their land.
10533And He smiteth their vine and their fig, And shivereth the trees of their border.
10534He hath said, and the locust cometh, And the cankerworm -- innumerable,
10535And it consumeth every herb in their land, And it consumeth the fruit of their ground.
10536And He smiteth every first-born in their land, The first-fruit of all their strength,
10537And bringeth them out with silver and gold, And there is not in its tribes a feeble one.
10538Rejoiced hath Egypt in their going forth, For their fear had fallen upon them.
10539He hath spread a cloud for a covering, And fire to enlighten the night.
10540They have asked, and He bringeth quails, And [with] bread of heaven satisfieth them.
10541He hath opened a rock, and waters issue, They have gone on in dry places -- a river.
10542For He hath remembered His holy word, With Abraham His servant,
10543And He bringeth forth His people with joy, With singing His chosen ones.
10544And He giveth to them the lands of nations, And the labour of peoples they possess,
10545That they may observe His statutes, And His laws may keep. Praise ye Jehovah!
1061Praise ye Jah, give thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age, [is] His kindness.
1062Who doth utter the mighty acts of Jehovah? Soundeth all His praise?
1063O the happiness of those keeping judgment, Doing righteousness at all times.
1064Remember me, O Jehovah, With the favour of Thy people, Look after me in Thy salvation.
1065To look on the good of Thy chosen ones, To rejoice in the joy of Thy nation, To boast myself with Thine inheritance.
1066We have sinned with our fathers, We have done perversely, we have done wickedly.
1067Our fathers in Egypt, Have not considered wisely Thy wonders, They have not remembered The abundance of Thy kind acts, And provoke by the sea, at the sea of Suph.
1068And He saveth them for His name`s sake, To make known His might,
1069And rebuketh the sea of Suph, and it is dried up, And causeth them to go Through depths as a wilderness.
10610And He saveth them from the hand Of him who is hating, And redeemeth them from the hand of the enemy.
10611And waters cover their adversaries, One of them hath not been left.
10612And they believe in His words, they sing His praise,
10613They have hasted -- forgotten His works, They have not waited for His counsel.
10614And they lust greatly in a wilderness, And try God in a desert.
10615And He giveth to them their request, And sendeth leanness into their soul.
10616And they are envious of Moses in the camp, Of Aaron, Jehovah`s holy one.
10617Earth openeth, and swalloweth up Dathan, And covereth over the company of Abiram.
10618And fire burneth among their company, A flame setteth on fire the wicked.
10619They make a calf in Horeb, And bow themselves to a molten image,
10620And change their Honour Into the form of an ox eating herbs.
10621They have forgotten God their saviour, The doer of great things in Egypt,
10622Of wonderful things in the land of Ham, Of fearful things by the sea of Suph.
10623And He saith to destroy them, Unless Moses, His chosen one, Had stood in the breach before Him, To turn back His wrath from destroying.
10624And they kick against the desirable land, They have not given credence to His word.
10625And they murmur in their tents, They have not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah.
10626And He lifteth up His hand to them, To cause them to fall in a wilderness,
10627And to cause their seed to fall among nations, And to scatter them through lands.
10628And they are coupled to Baal-Peor, And eat the sacrifices of the dead,
10629And they provoke to anger by their actions, And a plague breaketh forth upon them,
10630And Phinehas standeth, and executeth judgment, And the plague is restrained,
10631And it is reckoned to him to righteousness, To all generations -- unto the age.
10632And they cause wrath by the waters of Meribah, And it is evil to Moses for their sakes,
10633For they have provoked his spirit, And he speaketh wrongfully with his lips.
10634They have not destroyed the peoples, As Jehovah had said to them,
10635And mix themselves among nations, and learn their works,
10636And serve their idols, And they are to them for a snare.
10637And they sacrifice their sons And their daughters to destroyers,
10638And they shed innocent blood -- Blood of their sons and of their daughters, Whom they have sacrificed to idols of Canaan, And the land is profaned with blood.
10639And they are defiled with their works, And commit whoredom in their habitual doings.
10640And the anger of Jehovah Is kindled against His people, And He doth abominate His inheritance.
10641And giveth them into the hand of nations, And those hating them rule over them,
10642And their enemies oppress them, And they are humbled under their hand.
10643Many times He doth deliver them, And they rebel in their counsel, And they are brought low in their iniquity.
10644And He looketh on their distress When He heareth their cry,
10645And remembereth for them His covenant, And is comforted, According to the abundance of His kindness.
10646And He appointeth them for mercies Before all their captors.
10647Save us, O Jehovah our God, and gather us from the nations, To give thanks to Thy holy name, To glory in Thy praise.
10648Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, From the age even unto the age. And all the people said, `Amen, praise Jah!`
1071`Give ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age [is] His kindness:`
1072Let the redeemed of Jehovah say, Whom He redeemed from the hand of an adversary.
1073And from the lands hath gathered them, From east and from west, From north, and from the sea.
1074They wandered in a wilderness, in a desert by the way, A city of habitation they have not found.
1075Hungry -- yea -- thirsty, Their soul in them becometh feeble,
1076And they cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distress He delivereth them,
1077And causeth them to tread in a right way, To go unto a city of habitation.
1078They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men.
1079For He hath satisfied a longing soul, And a hungry soul hath filled [with] goodness.
10710Inhabitants of dark places and death-shade, Prisoners of affliction and of iron,
10711Because they changed the saying of God, And the counsel of the Most High despised.
10712And He humbleth with labour their heart, They have been feeble, and there is no helper.
10713And they cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distresses He saveth them.
10714He bringeth them out from the dark place, And death-shade, And their bands He draweth away.
10715They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men.
10716For He hath broken doors of brass, And bars of iron He hath cut.
10717Fools, by means of their transgression, And by their iniquities, afflict themselves.
10718All food doth their soul abominate, And they come nigh unto the gates of death,
10719And cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distresses He saveth them,
10720He sendeth His word and healeth them, And delivereth from their destructions.
10721They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men,
10722And they sacrifice sacrifices of thanksgiving, And recount His works with singing.
10723Those going down [to] the sea in ships, Doing business in many waters,
10724They have seen the works of Jehovah, And His wonders in the deep.
10725And He saith, and appointeth a tempest, And it lifteth up its billows,
10726They go up [to] the heavens, they go down [to] the depths, Their soul in evil is melted.
10727They reel to and fro, and move as a drunkard, And all their wisdom is swallowed up.
10728And they cry to Jehovah in their adversity, And from their distresses He bringeth them out.
10729He establisheth a whirlwind to a calm, And hushed are their billows.
10730And they rejoice because they are quiet, And He leadeth them to the haven of their desire.
10731They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men,
10732And they exalt Him in the assembly of the people, And in the seat of the elders praise Him.
10733He maketh rivers become a wilderness, And fountains of waters become dry land.
10734A fruitful land becometh a barren place, For the wickedness of its inhabitants.
10735He maketh a wilderness become a pool of water, And a dry land become fountains of waters.
10736And He causeth the hungry to dwell there, And they prepare a city of habitation.
10737And they sow fields, and plant vineyards, And they make fruits of increase.
10738And He blesseth them, and they multiply exceedingly, And their cattle He doth not diminish.
10739And they are diminished, and bow down, By restraint, evil, and sorrow.
10740He is pouring contempt upon nobles, And causeth them to wander in vacancy -- no way.
10741And setteth on high the needy from affliction, And placeth families as a flock.
10742The upright do see and rejoice, And all perversity hath shut her mouth.
10743Who [is] wise, and observeth these? They understand the kind acts of Jehovah!
1081A Song, a Psalm of David. Prepared is my heart, O God, I sing, yea, I sing praise, also my honour.
1082Awake, psaltery and harp, I awake the dawn.
1083I thank Thee among peoples, O Jehovah, And I praise Thee among the nations.
1084For great above the heavens [is] Thy kindness, And unto the clouds Thy truth.
1085Be Thou exalted above the heavens, O God, And above all the earth Thy honour.
1086That Thy beloved ones may be delivered, Save [with] Thy right hand, and answer us.
1087God hath spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure,
1088Mine [is] Gilead, mine [is] Manasseh, And Ephraim [is] the strength of my head, Judah [is] my lawgiver,
1089Moab [is] a pot for my washing, Upon Edom I cast my shoe, Over Philistia I shout habitually.
10810Who doth bring me in to the fenced city? Who hath led me unto Edom?
10811Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not out, O God, with our hosts!
10812Give to us help from adversity, And vain is the salvation of man.
10813In God we do mightily, And He doth tread down our adversaries!
1091To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. O God of my praise, be not silent,
1092For the mouth of wickedness, and the mouth of deceit, Against me they have opened, They have spoken with me -- A tongue of falsehood, and words of hatred!
1093They have compassed me about, And they fight me without cause.
1094For my love they oppose me, and I -- prayer!
1095And they set against me evil for good, And hatred for my love.
1096Appoint Thou over him the wicked, And an adversary standeth at his right hand.
1097In his being judged, he goeth forth wicked, And his prayer is for sin.
1098His days are few, his oversight another taketh,
1099His sons are fatherless, and his wife a widow.
10910And wander continually do his sons, Yea, they have begged, And have sought out of their dry places.
10911An exactor layeth a snare for all that he hath, And strangers spoil his labour.
10912He hath none to extend kindness, Nor is there one showing favour to his orphans.
10913His posterity is for cutting off, In another generation is their name blotted out.
10914The iniquity of his fathers Is remembered unto Jehovah, And the sin of his mother is not blotted out.
10915They are before Jehovah continually, And He cutteth off from earth their memorial.
10916Because that he hath not remembered to do kindness, And pursueth the poor man and needy, And the smitten of heart -- to slay,
10917And he loveth reviling, and it meeteth him, And he hath not delighted in blessing, And it is far from him.
10918And he putteth on reviling as his robe, And it cometh in as water into his midst, And as oil into his bones.
10919It is to him as apparel -- he covereth himself, And for a continual girdle he girdeth it on.
10920This [is] the wage of mine accusers from Jehovah, And of those speaking evil against my soul.
10921And Thou, O Jehovah Lord, Deal with me for Thy name`s sake, Because Thy kindness [is] good, deliver me.
10922For I [am] poor and needy, And my heart hath been pierced in my midst.
10923As a shadow when it is stretched out I have gone, I have been driven away as a locust.
10924My knees have been feeble from fasting, And my flesh hath failed of fatness.
10925And I -- I have been a reproach to them, They see me, they shake their head.
10926Help me, O Jehovah my God, Save me, according to Thy kindness.
10927And they know that this [is] Thy hand, Thou, O Jehovah, Thou hast done it.
10928They revile, and Thou dost bless, They have risen, and are ashamed, And Thy servant doth rejoice.
10929Mine accusers put on blushing, and are covered, As an upper robe [is] their shame.
10930I thank Jehovah greatly with my mouth, And in the midst of many I praise Him,
10931For He standeth at the right hand of the needy, To save from those judging his soul.
1101A Psalm of David. The affirmation of Jehovah to my Lord: `Sit at My right hand, Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.`
1102The rod of thy strength doth Jehovah send from Zion, Rule in the midst of thine enemies.
1103Thy people [are] free-will gifts in the day of Thy strength, in the honours of holiness, From the womb, from the morning, Thou hast the dew of thy youth.
1104Jehovah hath sworn, and doth not repent, `Thou [art] a priest to the age, According to the order of Melchizedek.`
1105The Lord on thy right hand smote kings In the day of His anger.
1106He doth judge among the nations, He hath completed the carcases, Hath smitten the head over the mighty earth.
1107From a brook in the way he drinketh, Therefore he doth lift up the head!
1111Praise ye Jah! I thank Jehovah with the whole heart, In the secret meeting of the upright, And of the company.
1112Great [are] the works of Jehovah, Sought out by all desiring them.
1113Honourable and majestic is His work, And His righteousness is standing for ever.
1114A memorial He hath made of His wonders, Gracious and merciful [is] Jehovah.
1115Prey He hath given to those fearing Him, He remembereth to the age His covenant.
1116The power of His works He hath declared to His people, To give to them the inheritance of nations.
1117The works of His hands [are] true and just, Stedfast [are] all His appointments.
1118They are sustained for ever to the age. They are made in truth and uprightness.
1119Redemption He hath sent to His people, He hath appointed to the age His covenant, Holy and fearful [is] His name.
11110The beginning of wisdom [is] fear of Jehovah, Good understanding have all doing them, His praise [is] standing for ever!
1121Praise ye Jah! O the happiness of one fearing Jehovah, In His commands he hath delighted greatly.
1122Mighty in the earth is his seed, The generation of the upright is blessed.
1123Wealth and riches [are] in his house, And his righteousness is standing for ever.
1124Light hath risen in darkness to the upright, Gracious, and merciful, and righteous.
1125Good [is] the man -- gracious and lending, He sustaineth his matters in judgment.
1126For -- to the age he is not moved; For a memorial age-during is the righteous.
1127Of an evil report he is not afraid, Prepared is His heart, confident in Jehovah.
1128Sustained is his heart -- he feareth not, Till that he look on his adversaries.
1129He hath scattered -- hath given to the needy, His righteousness is standing for ever, His horn is exalted with honour.
11210The wicked seeth, and hath been angry, His teeth he gnasheth, and hath melted, The desire of the wicked doth perish!
1131Praise ye Jah! Praise, ye servants of Jehovah. Praise the name of Jehovah.
1132The name of Jehovah is blessed, From henceforth, and unto the age.
1133From the rising of the sun unto its going in, Praised [is] the name of Jehovah.
1134High above all nations [is] Jehovah, Above the heavens [is] his honour.
1135Who [is] as Jehovah our God, He is exalting [Himself] to sit?
1136He is humbling [Himself] to look On the heavens and on the earth.
1137He is raising up from the dust the poor, From a dunghill He exalteth the needy.
1138To cause to sit with princes, With the princes of His people.
1139Causing the barren one of the house to sit, A joyful mother of sons; praise ye Jah!
1141In the going out of Israel from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a strange people,
1142Judah became His sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
1143The sea hath seen, and fleeth, The Jordan turneth backward.
1144The mountains have skipped as rams, Heights as sons of a flock.
1145What -- to thee, O sea, that thou fleest? O Jordan, thou turnest back!
1146O mountains, ye skip as rams! O heights, as sons of a flock!
1147From before the Lord be afraid, O earth, From before the God of Jacob,
1148He is turning the rock to a pool of waters, The flint to a fountain of waters!
1151Not to us, O Jehovah, not to us, But to Thy name give honour, For Thy kindness, for Thy truth.
1152Why do the nations say, `Where, pray, [is] their God.
1153And our God [is] in the heavens, All that He hath pleased He hath done.
1154Their idols [are] silver and gold, work of man`s hands,
1155A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not,
1156Ears they have, and they hear not, A nose they have, and they smell not,
1157Their hands, but they handle not, Their feet, and they walk not;
1158Nor do they mutter through their throat, Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.
1159O Israel, trust in Jehovah, `Their help and their shield [is] He.`
11510O house of Aaron, trust in Jehovah, `Their help and their shield [is] He.`
11511Ye fearing Jehovah, trust in Jehovah, `Their help and their shield [is] He.`
11512Jehovah hath remembered us, He blesseth, He blesseth the house of Israel, He blesseth the house of Aaron,
11513He blesseth those fearing Jehovah, The small with the great.
11514Jehovah addeth to you, to you, and to your sons.
11515Blessed [are] ye of Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,
11516The heavens -- the heavens [are] Jehovah`s, And the earth He hath given to sons of men,
11517The dead praise not Jah, Nor any going down to silence.
11518And we, we bless Jah, From henceforth, and unto the age. Praise ye Jah!
1161I have loved, because Jehovah heareth My voice, my supplication,
1162Because He hath inclined His ear to me, And during my days I call.
1163Compassed me have cords of death, And straits of Sheol have found me, Distress and sorrow I find.
1164And in the name of Jehovah I call: I pray Thee, O Jehovah, deliver my soul,
1165Gracious [is] Jehovah, and righteous, Yea, our God [is] merciful,
1166A preserver of the simple [is] Jehovah, I was low, and to me He giveth salvation.
1167Turn back, O my soul, to thy rest, For Jehovah hath conferred benefits on thee.
1168For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, my feet from overthrowing.
1169I walk habitually before Jehovah In the lands of the living.
11610I have believed, for I speak, I -- I have been afflicted greatly.
11611I said in my haste, `Every man [is] a liar.`
11612What do I return to Jehovah? All His benefits [are] upon me.
11613The cup of salvation I lift up, And in the name of Jehovah I call.
11614My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people.
11615Precious in the eyes of Jehovah [is] the death for His saints.
11616Cause [it] to come, O Jehovah, for I [am] Thy servant. I [am] Thy servant, son of Thy handmaid, Thou hast opened my bonds.
11617To Thee I sacrifice a sacrifice of thanks, And in the name of Jehovah I call.
11618My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people,
11619In the courts of the house of Jehovah, In thy midst, O Jerusalem, praise ye Jah!
1171Praise Jehovah, all ye nations, Glorify Him, all ye peoples.
1172For mighty to us hath been His kindness, And the truth of Jehovah [is] to the age. Praise ye Jah!
1181Give ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age [is] His kindness.
1182I pray you, let Israel say, That, to the age [is] His kindness.
1183I pray you, let the house of Aaron say, That, to the age [is] His kindness.
1184I pray you, let those fearing Jehovah say, That, to the age [is] His kindness.
1185From the straitness I called Jah, Jah answered me in a broad place.
1186Jehovah [is] for me, I do not fear what man doth to me.
1187Jehovah [is] for me among my helpers, And I -- I look on those hating me.
1188Better to take refuge in Jehovah than to trust in man,
1189Better to take refuge in Jehovah, Than to trust in princes.
11810All nations have compassed me about, In the name of Jehovah I surely cut them off.
11811They have compassed me about, Yea, they have compassed me about, In the name of Jehovah I surely cut them off.
11812They compassed me about as bees, They have been extinguished as a fire of thorns, In the name of Jehovah I surely cut them off.
11813Thou hast sorely thrust me to fall, And Jehovah hath helped me.
11814My strength and song [is] Jah, And He is to me for salvation.
11815A voice of singing and salvation, [Is] in the tents of the righteous, The right hand of Jehovah is doing valiantly.
11816The right hand of Jehovah is exalted, The right hand of Jehovah is doing valiantly.
11817I do not die, but live, And recount the works of Jah,
11818Jah hath sorely chastened me, And to death hath not given me up.
11819Open ye to me gates of righteousness, I enter into them -- I thank Jah.
11820This [is] the gate to Jehovah, The righteous enter into it.
11821I thank Thee, for Thou hast answered me, And art to me for salvation.
11822A stone the builders refused Hath become head of a corner.
11823From Jehovah hath this been, It [is] wonderful in our eyes,
11824This [is] the day Jehovah hath made, We rejoice and are glad in it.
11825I beseech Thee, O Jehovah, save, I pray Thee, I beseech Thee, O Jehovah, prosper, I pray Thee.
11826Blessed [is] he who is coming In the name of Jehovah, We blessed you from the house of Jehovah,
11827God [is] Jehovah, and He giveth to us light, Direct ye the festal-sacrifice with cords, Unto the horns of the altar.
11828My God Thou [art], and I confess Thee, My God, I exalt Thee.
11829Give ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age, [is] His kindness!
1191[Aleph.] O the happiness of those perfect in the way, They are walking in the law of Jehovah,
1192O the happiness of those keeping His testimonies, With the whole heart they seek Him.
1193Yea, they have not done iniquity, In His ways they have walked.
1194Thou hast commanded us Thy precepts to keep diligently,
1195O that my ways were prepared to keep Thy statutes,
1196Then I am not ashamed In my looking unto all Thy commands.
1197I confess Thee with uprightness of heart, In my learning the judgments of Thy righteousness.
1198Thy statutes I keep, leave me not utterly!
1199[Beth.] With what doth a young man purify his path? To observe -- according to Thy word.
11910With all my heart I have sought Thee, Let me not err from Thy commands.
11911In my heart I have hid Thy saying, That I sin not before Thee.
11912Blessed [art] Thou, O Jehovah, teach me Thy statutes.
11913With my lips I have recounted All the judgments of Thy mouth.
11914In the way of Thy testimonies I have joyed, As over all wealth.
11915In Thy precepts I meditate, And I behold attentively Thy paths.
11916In Thy statutes I delight myself, I do not forget Thy word.
11917[Gimel.] Confer benefits on Thy servant, I live, and I keep Thy word.
11918Uncover mine eyes, and I behold wonders out of Thy law.
11919A sojourner I [am] on earth, Hide not from me Thy commands.
11920Broken hath my soul for desire Unto Thy judgments at all times.
11921Thou hast rebuked the cursed proud, Who are erring from Thy commands.
11922Remove from me reproach and contempt, For Thy testimonies I have kept.
11923Princes also sat -- against me they spoke, Thy servant doth meditate in Thy statutes,
11924Thy testimonies also [are] my delight, The men of my counsel!
11925[Daleth.] Cleaved to the dust hath my soul, Quicken me according to Thy word.
11926My ways I have recounted, And Thou answerest me, teach me Thy statutes,

11934Cause me to understand, and I keep Thy law, And observe it with the whole heart.
11935Cause me to tread in the path of Thy commands, For in it I have delighted.
11936Incline my heart unto Thy testimonies, And not unto dishonest gain.
11937Remove mine eyes from seeing vanity, In Thy way quicken Thou me.
11938Establish to Thy servant Thy saying, That [is] concerning Thy fear.

11941[Waw.] And meet me doth Thy kindness, O Jehovah, Thy salvation according to Thy saying.
11942And I answer him who is reproaching me a word, For I have trusted in Thy word.
11943And Thou takest not utterly away From my mouth the word of truth, Because for Thy judgment I have hoped.
11944And I keep Thy law continually, To the age and for ever.
11945And I walk habitually in a broad place, For Thy precepts I have sought.
11946And I speak of Thy testimonies before kings, And I am not ashamed.
11947And I delight myself in Thy commands, That I have loved,
11948And I lift up my hands unto Thy commands, That I have loved, And I do meditate on Thy statutes!
11949[Zain.] Remember the word to Thy servant, On which Thou hast caused me to hope.
11950This [is] my comfort in mine affliction, That Thy saying hath quickened me.
11951The proud have utterly scorned me, From Thy law I have not turned aside.
11952I remembered Thy judgments of old, O Jehovah, And I comfort myself.
11953Horror hath seized me, Because of the wicked forsaking Thy law.
11954Songs have been to me Thy statutes, In the house of my sojournings.
11955I have remembered in the night Thy name, O Jehovah, And I do keep Thy law.
11956This hath been to me, That Thy precepts I have kept!
11957[Cheth.] My portion [is] Jehovah; I have said -- to keep Thy words,
11958I appeased Thy face with the whole heart, Favour me according to Thy saying.
11959I have reckoned my ways, And turn back my feet unto Thy testimonies.
11960I have made haste, And delayed not, to keep Thy commands.
11961Cords of the wicked have surrounded me, Thy law I have not forgotten.
11962At midnight I rise to give thanks to Thee, For the judgments of Thy righteousness.
11963A companion I [am] to all who fear Thee, And to those keeping Thy precepts.
11964Of Thy kindness, O Jehovah, the earth is full, Thy statutes teach Thou me!
11965[Teth.] Good Thou didst with Thy servant, O Jehovah, According to Thy word.
11966The goodness of reason and knowledge teach me, For in Thy commands I have believed.
11967Before I am afflicted, I -- I am erring, And now Thy saying I have kept.
11968Good Thou [art], and doing good, Teach me Thy statutes.
11969Forged against me falsehood have the proud, I with the whole heart keep Thy precepts.
11970Insensate as fat hath been their heart, I -- in Thy law I have delighted.
11971Good for me that I have been afflicted, That I might learn Thy statutes.
11972Better to me [is] the law of Thy mouth Than thousands of gold and silver!
11973[Yod.] Thy hands made me and establish me, Cause me to understand, and I learn Thy commands.
11974Those fearing Thee see me and rejoice, Because for Thy word I have hoped.
11975I have known, O Jehovah, That righteous [are] Thy judgments, And [in] faithfulness Thou hast afflicted me.
11976Let, I pray Thee, Thy kindness be to comfort me, According to Thy saying to Thy servant.

11979Those fearing Thee turn back to me, And those knowing Thy testimonies.
11980My heart is perfect in Thy statutes, So that I am not ashamed.
11981[Kaph.] Consumed for Thy salvation hath been my soul, For Thy word I have hoped.
11982Consumed have been mine eyes for Thy word, Saying, `When doth it comfort me?`
11983For I have been as a bottle in smoke, Thy statutes I have not forgotten.
11984How many [are] the days of Thy servant? When dost Thou execute Against my pursuers judgment?
11985The proud have digged for me pits, That [are] not according to Thy law.
11986All Thy commands [are] faithfulness, [With] falsehood they have pursued me, Help Thou me.
11987Almost consumed me on earth have they, And I -- I have not forsaken Thy precepts.
11988According to Thy kindness quicken Thou me, And I keep the testimony of Thy mouth!
11989[Lamed.] To the age, O Jehovah, Thy word is set up in the heavens.
11990To all generations Thy faithfulness, Thou didst establish earth, and it standeth.
11991According to Thine ordinances They have stood this day, for the whole [are] Thy servants.
11992Unless Thy law [were] my delights, Then had I perished in mine affliction.
11993To the age I forget not Thy precepts, For by them Thou hast quickened me.
11994I [am] Thine, save Thou me, For Thy precepts I have sought.
11995Thy wicked waited for me to destroy me, Thy testimonies I understand.
11996Of all perfection I have seen an end, Broad [is] Thy command -- exceedingly!

119103How sweet to my palate hath been Thy saying, Above honey to my mouth.
119104From Thy precepts I have understanding, Therefore I have hated every false path!
119105[Nun.] A lamp to my foot [is] Thy word, And a light to my path.
119106I have sworn, and I confirm [it], To keep the judgments of Thy righteousness.
119107I have been afflicted very much, O Jehovah, quicken me, according to Thy word.
119108Free-will-offerings of my mouth, Accept, I pray Thee, O Jehovah, And Thy judgments teach Thou me.
119109My soul [is] in my hand continually, And Thy law I have not forgotten.

1201A Song of the Ascents. Unto Jehovah in my distress I have called, And He answereth me.
1202O Jehovah, deliver my soul from a lying lip, From a deceitful tongue!
1203What doth He give to thee? And what doth He add to thee? O deceitful tongue!
1204Sharp arrows of a mighty one, with broom-coals.
1205Wo to me, for I have inhabited Mesech, I have dwelt with tents of Kedar.
1206Too much hath my soul dwelt with him who is hating peace.
1207I [am] peace, and when I speak they [are] for war!
1211A Song of the Ascents. I lift up mine eyes unto the hills, Whence doth my help come?
1212My help [is] from Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,
1213He suffereth not thy foot to be moved, Thy preserver slumbereth not.
1214Lo, He slumbereth not, nor sleepeth, He who is preserving Israel.
1215Jehovah [is] thy preserver, Jehovah [is] thy shade on thy right hand,
1216By day the sun doth not smite thee, Nor the moon by night.
1217Jehovah preserveth thee from all evil, He doth preserve thy soul.
1218Jehovah preserveth thy going out and thy coming in, From henceforth even unto the age!
1221A Song of the Ascents, by David. I have rejoiced in those saying to me, `To the house of Jehovah we go.`
1222Our feet have been standing in thy gates, O Jerusalem!
1223Jerusalem -- the builded one -- [Is] as a city that is joined to itself together.
1224For thither have tribes gone up, Tribes of Jah, companies of Israel, To give thanks to the name of Jehovah.
1225For there have sat thrones of judgment, Thrones of the house of David.
1226Ask ye the peace of Jerusalem, At rest are those loving thee.
1227Peace is in thy bulwark, rest in thy high places,
1228For the sake of my brethren and my companions, Let me speak, I pray thee, `Peace [be] in thee.`
1229For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God, I seek good for thee!
1231A Song of the Ascents. Unto Thee I have lifted up mine eyes, O dweller in the heavens.
1232Lo, as eyes of men-servants [Are] unto the hand of their masters, As eyes of a maid-servant [Are] unto the hand of her mistress, So [are] our eyes unto Jehovah our God, Till that He doth favour us.
1233Favour us, O Jehovah, favour us, For greatly have we been filled with contempt,
1234Greatly hath our soul been filled With the scorning of the easy ones, With the contempt of the arrogant!
1241A Song of the Ascents, by David. Save [for] Jehovah -- who hath been for us, (Pray, let Israel say),
1242Save [for] Jehovah -- who hath been for us, In the rising up of man against us,
1243Then alive they had swallowed us up, In the burning of their anger against us,
1244Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul,
1245Then passed over our soul had the proud waters.
1246Blessed [is] Jehovah who hath not given us, A prey to their teeth.
1247Our soul as a bird hath escaped from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken, and we have escaped.
1248Our help [is] in the name of Jehovah, Maker of the heavens and earth!
1251A Song of the Ascents. Those trusting in Jehovah [are] as Mount Zion, It is not moved -- to the age it abideth.
1252Jerusalem! mountains [are] round about her, And Jehovah [is] round about His people, From henceforth even unto the age.
1253For the rod of wickedness resteth not On the lot of the righteous, That the righteous put not forth on iniquity their hands.
1254Do good, O Jehovah, to the good, And to the upright in their hearts.
1255As to those turning [to] their crooked ways, Jehovah causeth them to go with workers of iniquity. Peace on Israel!
1261A Song of the Ascents. In Jehovah`s turning back [to] the captivity of Zion, We have been as dreamers.
1262Then filled [with] laughter is our mouth, And our tongue [with] singing, Then do they say among nations, `Jehovah did great things with these.`
1263Jehovah did great things with us, We have been joyful.
1264Turn again, O Jehovah, [to] our captivity, As streams in the south.
1265Those sowing in tears, with singing do reap,
1266Whoso goeth on and weepeth, Bearing the basket of seed, Surely cometh in with singing, bearing his sheaves!
1271A Song of the Ascents, by Solomon. If Jehovah doth not build the house, In vain have its builders laboured at it, If Jehovah doth not watch a city, In vain hath a watchman waked.
1272Vain for you who are rising early, Who delay sitting, eating the bread of griefs, So He giveth to His beloved one sleep.
1273Lo, an inheritance of Jehovah [are] sons, A reward [is] the fruit of the womb.
1274As arrows in the hand of a mighty one, So [are] the sons of the young men.
1275O the happiness of the man Who hath filled his quiver with them, They are not ashamed, For they speak with enemies in the gate!
1281A Song of the Ascents. O the happiness of every one fearing Jehovah, Who is walking in His ways.
1282The labour of thy hands thou surely eatest, Happy [art] thou, and good [is] to thee.
1283Thy wife [is] as a fruitful vine in the sides of thy house, Thy sons as olive plants around thy table.
1284Lo, surely thus is the man blessed who is fearing Jehovah.
1285Jehovah doth bless thee out of Zion, Look, then, on the good of Jerusalem, All the days of thy life,
1286And see the sons of thy sons! Peace on Israel!
1291A Song of the Ascents. Often they distressed me from my youth, Pray, let Israel say:
1292Often they distressed me from my youth, Yet they have not prevailed over me.
1293Over my back have ploughers ploughed, They have made long their furrows.
1294Jehovah [is] righteous, He hath cut asunder cords of the wicked.
1295Confounded and turn backward do all hating Zion.
1296They are as grass of the roofs, That before it was drawn out withereth,
1297That hath not filled the hand of a reaper, And the bosom of a binder of sheaves.
1298And the passers by have not said, `The blessing of Jehovah [is] on you, We blessed you in the Name of Jehovah!`
1301A Song of the Ascents. From depths I have called Thee, Jehovah.
1302Lord, hearken to my voice, Thine ears are attentive to the voice of my supplications.
1303If iniquities Thou dost observe, O Lord, who doth stand?
1304But with Thee [is] forgiveness, that Thou mayest be feared.
1305I hoped [for] Jehovah -- hoped hath my soul, And for His word I have waited.
1306My soul [is] for the Lord, More than those watching for morning, Watching for morning!
1307Israel doth wait on Jehovah, For with Jehovah [is] kindness, And abundant with Him [is] redemption.
1308And He doth redeem Israel from all his iniquities!
1311A Song of the Ascents, by David. Jehovah, my heart hath not been haughty, Nor have mine eyes been high, Nor have I walked in great things, And in things too wonderful for me.
1312Have I not compared, and kept silent my soul, As a weaned one by its mother? As a weaned one by me [is] my soul.
1313Israel doth wait on Jehovah, From henceforth, and unto the age!
1321A Song of the Ascents. Remember, Jehovah, for David, all his afflictions.
1322Who hath sworn to Jehovah. He hath vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
1323`If I enter into the tent of my house, If I go up on the couch of my bed,
1324If I give sleep to mine eyes, To mine eyelids -- slumber,
1325Till I do find a place for Jehovah, Tabernacles for the Mighty One of Jacob.
1326`Lo, we have heard it in Ephratah, We have found it in the fields of the forest.
1327We come in to His tabernacles, We bow ourselves at His footstool.
1328Arise, O Jehovah, to Thy rest, Thou, and the ark of Thy strength,
1329Thy priests do put on righteousness, And Thy pious ones cry aloud.
13210For the sake of David Thy servant, Turn not back the face of Thine anointed.
13211Jehovah hath sworn truth to David, He turneth not back from it: Of the fruit of thy body, I set on the throne for thee.
13212If thy sons keep My covenant, And My testimonies that I teach them, Their sons also for ever and ever, Do sit on the throne for thee.
13213For Jehovah hath fixed on Zion, He hath desired [it] for a seat to Himself,
13214This [is] My rest for ever and ever, Here do I sit, for I have desired it.
13215Her provision I greatly bless, Her needy ones I satisfy [with] bread,
13216And her priests I clothe [with] salvation, And her pious ones do sing aloud.
13217There I cause to spring up a horn for David, I have arranged a lamp for Mine anointed.
13218His enemies I do clothe [with] shame, And upon him doth his crown flourish!
1331A Song of the Ascents, by David. Lo, how good and how pleasant The dwelling of brethren -- even together!
1332As the good oil on the head, Coming down on the beard, the beard of Aaron, That cometh down on the skirt of his robes,
1333As dew of Hermon -- That cometh down on hills of Zion, For there Jehovah commanded the blessing -- Life unto the age!
1341A Song of the Ascents. Lo, bless Jehovah, all servants of Jehovah, Who are standing in the house of Jehovah by night.
1342Lift up your hands [in] the sanctuary, And bless ye Jehovah.
1343Jehovah doth bless thee out of Zion, The maker of the heavens and earth!
1351Praise ye Jah! Praise ye the name of Jehovah, Praise, ye servants of Jehovah,
1352Who are standing in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of the house of our God.
1353Praise ye Jah! for Jehovah [is] good, Sing praise to His name, for [it is] pleasant.
1354For Jacob hath Jah chosen for Himself, Israel for His peculiar treasure.
1355For I have known that great [is] Jehovah, Yea, our Lord [is] above all gods.
1356All that Jehovah pleased He hath done, In the heavens and in earth, In the seas and all deep places,
1357Causing vapours to ascend from the end of the earth, Lightnings for the rain He hath made, Bringing forth wind from His treasures.
1358Who smote the first-born of Egypt, From man unto beast.
1359He sent tokens and wonders into thy midst, O Egypt, On Pharaoh and on all his servants.
13510Who smote many nations, and slew strong kings,
13511Even Sihon king of the Amorite, And Og king of Bashan, And all kingdoms of Canaan.
13512And He gave their land an inheritance, An inheritance to Israel His people,
13513O Jehovah, Thy name [is] to the age, O Jehovah, Thy memorial to all generations.
13514For Jehovah doth judge His people, And for His servants comforteth Himself.
13515The idols of the nations [are] silver and gold, Work of the hands of man.
13516A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not,
13517Ears they have, and they give not ear, Nose -- there is no breath in their mouth!
13518Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.
13519O house of Israel, bless ye Jehovah, O house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah,
13520O house of Levi, bless ye Jehovah, Those fearing Jehovah, bless ye Jehovah.
13521Blessed [is] Jehovah from Zion, Inhabiting Jerusalem -- praise ye Jah!
1361Give ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age [is] His kindness.
1362Give ye thanks to the God of gods, For to the age [is] His kindness.
1363Give ye thanks to the Lord of lords, For to the age [is] His kindness.

1368The sun to rule by day, For to the age [is] His kindness.
1369The moon and stars to rule by night, For to the age [is] His kindness.
13610To Him smiting Egypt in their first-born, For to the age [is] His kindness.
13611And bringing forth Israel from their midst, For to the age [is] His kindness.
13612By a strong hand, and a stretched-out-arm, For to the age [is] His kindness.
13613To Him cutting the sea of Suph into parts, For to the age [is] His kindness,
13614And caused Israel to pass through its midst, For to the age [is] His kindness,
13615And shook out Pharaoh and his force in the sea of Suph, For to the age [is] His kindness.
13616To Him leading His people in a wilderness, For to the age [is] His kindness.
13617To Him smiting great kings, For to the age [is] His kindness.
13618Yea, He doth slay honourable kings, For to the age [is] His kindness.
13619Even Sihon king of the Amorite, For to the age [is] His kindness.
13620And Og king of Bashan, For to the age [is] His kindness.
13621And He gave their land for inheritance, For to the age [is] His kindness.
13622An inheritance to Israel His servant, For to the age [is] His kindness.
13623Who in our lowliness hath remembered us, For to the age [is] His kindness.
13624And He delivereth us from our adversaries, For to the age [is] His kindness.
13625Giving food to all flesh, For to the age [is] His kindness.
13626Give ye thanks to the God of the heavens, For to the age [is] His kindness!
1371By rivers of Babylon -- There we did sit, Yea, we wept when we remembered Zion.
1372On willows in its midst we hung our harps.
1373For there our captors asked us the words of a song, And our spoilers -- joy: `Sing ye to us of a song of Zion.`
1374How do we sing the song of Jehovah, On the land of a stranger?
1375If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, my right hand forgetteth!
1376My tongue doth cleave to my palate, If I do not remember thee, If I do not exalt Jerusalem above my chief joy.
1377Remember, Jehovah, for the sons of Edom, The day of Jerusalem, Those saying, `Rase, rase to its foundation!`
1378O daughter of Babylon, O destroyed one, O the happiness of him who repayeth to thee thy deed, That thou hast done to us.
1379O the happiness of him who doth seize, And hath dashed thy sucklings on the rock!
1381By David. I confess Thee, with all my heart, Before the gods I do praise Thee.
1382I bow myself toward Thy holy temple, And I confess Thy name, For Thy kindness, and for Thy truth, For Thou hast made great Thy saying above all Thy name.
1383In the day I called, when Thou dost answer me, Thou dost strengthen me in my soul [with] strength.
1384O Jehovah, all kings of earth confess Thee, When they have heard the sayings of Thy mouth.
1385And they sing in the ways of Jehovah, For great [is] the honour of Jehovah.
1386For high [is] Jehovah, and the lowly He seeth, And the haughty from afar He knoweth.
1387If I walk in the midst of distress Thou quickenest me, Against the anger of mine enemies Thou sendest forth Thy hand, And Thy right hand doth save me.
1388Jehovah doth perfect for me, O Jehovah, Thy kindness [is] to the age, The works of Thy hands let not fall!
1391To the Overseer. -- A Psalm by David. Jehovah, Thou hast searched me, and knowest.
1392Thou -- Thou hast known my sitting down, And my rising up, Thou hast attended to my thoughts from afar.
1393My path and my couch Thou hast fanned, And [with] all my ways hast been acquainted.
1394For there is not a word in my tongue, Lo, O Jehovah, Thou hast known it all!
1395Behind and before Thou hast besieged me, And Thou dost place on me Thy hand.
1396Knowledge too wonderful for me, It hath been set on high, I am not able for it.
1397Whither do I go from Thy Spirit? And whither from Thy face do I flee?
1398If I ascend the heavens -- there Thou [art], And spread out a couch in Sheol, lo, Thee!
1399I take the wings of morning, I dwell in the uttermost part of the sea,
13910Also there Thy hand doth lead me, And Thy right hand doth hold me.
13911And I say, `Surely darkness bruiseth me, Then night [is] light to me.
13912Also darkness hideth not from Thee, And night as day shineth, as [is] darkness so [is] light.
13913For Thou -- Thou hast possessed my reins, Thou dost cover me in my mother`s belly.
13914I confess Thee, because that [with] wonders I have been distinguished. Wonderful [are] Thy works, And my soul is knowing [it] well.
13915My substance was not hid from Thee, When I was made in secret, Curiously wrought in the lower part of earth.
13916Mine unformed substance Thine eyes saw, And on Thy book all of them are written, The days they were formed -- And not one among them.
13917And to me how precious have been Thy thoughts, O God, how great hath been their sum!
13918I recount them! than the sand they are more, I have waked, and I am still with Thee.
13919Dost Thou slay, O God, the wicked? Then, men of blood, turn aside from me!
13920Who exchange Thee for wickedness, Lifted up to vanity [are] Thine enemies.
13921Do not I hate, Jehovah, those hating Thee? And with Thy withstanders grieve myself?
13922[With] perfect hatred I have hated them, Enemies they have become to me.
13923Search me, O God, and know my heart, Try me, and know my thoughts,
13924And see if a grievous way be in me, And lead me in a way age-during!
1401To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. Deliver me, O Jehovah, from an evil man, From one of violence Thou keepest me.
1402Who have devised evils in the heart, All the day they assemble [for] wars.
1403They sharpened their tongue as a serpent, Poison of an adder [is] under their lips. Selah.
1404Preserve me, Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked, From one of violence Thou keepest me, Who have devised to overthrow my steps.
1405The proud hid a snare for me -- and cords, They spread a net by the side of the path, Snares they have set for me. Selah.
1406I have said to Jehovah, `My God [art] Thou, Hear, Jehovah, the voice of my supplications.`
1407O Jehovah, my Lord, strength of my salvation, Thou hast covered my head in the day of armour.
1408Grant not, O Jehovah, the desires of the wicked, His wicked device bring not forth, They are high. Selah.
1409The chief of my surrounders, The perverseness of their lips covereth them.
14010They cause to fall on themselves burning coals, Into fire He doth cast them, Into deep pits -- they arise not.
14011A talkative man is not established in the earth, One of violence -- evil hunteth to overflowing.
14012I have known that Jehovah doth execute The judgment of the afflicted, The judgment of the needy.
14013Only -- the righteous give thanks to Thy name, The upright do dwell with Thy presence!
1411A Psalm, by David. O Jehovah, I have called Thee, haste to me, Give ear [to] my voice when I call to Thee.
1412My prayer is prepared -- incense before Thee, The lifting up of my hands -- the evening present.
1413Set, O Jehovah, a watch for my mouth, Watch Thou over the door of my lips.
1414Incline not my heart to an evil thing, To do habitually actions in wickedness, With men working iniquity, Yea, I eat not of their pleasant things.
1415The righteous doth beat me [in] kindness. And doth reprove me, Oil of the head my head disalloweth not, For still my prayer [is] about their vexations.
1416Their judges have been released by the sides of a rock, And they have heard my sayings, For they have been pleasant.
1417As one tilling and ripping up in the land, Have our bones been scattered at the command of Saul.
1418But to Thee, O Jehovah, my Lord, [are] mine eyes, In Thee I have trusted, Make not bare my soul.
1419Keep me from the gin they laid for me, Even snares of workers of iniquity.
14110The wicked fall in their nets together, till I pass over!
1421An Instruction of David, a Prayer when he is in the cave. My voice [is] unto Jehovah, I cry, My voice [is] unto Jehovah, I entreat grace.
1422I pour forth before Him my meditation, My distress before Him I declare.
1423When my spirit hath been feeble in me, Then Thou hast known my path; In the way [in] which I walk, They have hid a snare for me.
1424Looking on the right hand -- and seeing, And I have none recognizing; Perished hath refuge from me, There is none inquiring for my soul.
1425I have cried unto thee, O Jehovah, I have said, `Thou [art] my refuge, My portion in the land of the living.`
1426Attend Thou unto my loud cry, For I have become very low, Deliver Thou me from my pursuers, For they have been stronger than I.
1427Bring forth from prison my soul to confess Thy name, The righteous do compass me about, When Thou conferrest benefits upon me!
1431A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, hear my prayer, Give ear unto my supplications, In Thy faithfulness answer me -- in Thy righteousness.
1432And enter not into judgment with Thy servant, For no one living is justified before Thee.
1433For an enemy hath pursued my soul, He hath bruised to the earth my life, He hath caused me to dwell in dark places, As the dead of old.
1434And my spirit in me is become feeble, Within me is my heart become desolate.
1435I have remembered days of old, I have meditated on all Thine acts, On the work of Thy hand I muse.
1436I have spread forth my hands unto Thee, My soul [is] as a weary land for Thee. Selah.
1437Haste, answer me, O Jehovah, My spirit hath been consumed, Hide not Thou Thy face from me, Or I have been compared with those going down [to] the pit.
1438Cause me to hear in the morning Thy kindness, For in Thee I have trusted, Cause me to know the way that I go, For unto Thee I have lifted up my soul.
1439Deliver me from mine enemies, O Jehovah, Near Thee I am covered.
14310Teach me to do Thy good pleasure, For Thou [art] my God -- Thy Spirit [is] good, Lead me into a land of uprightness.
14311For Thy name`s sake O Jehovah, Thou dost quicken me, In Thy righteousness, Thou bringest out from distress my soul,
14312And in Thy kindness cuttest off mine enemies, And hast destroyed all the adversaries of my soul, For I [am] Thy servant!
1441By David. Blessed [is] Jehovah my rock, who is teaching My hands for war, my fingers for battle.
1442My kind one, and my bulwark, My tower, and my deliverer, My shield, and in whom I have trusted, Who is subduing my people under me!
1443Jehovah, what [is] man that Thou knowest him? Son of man, that Thou esteemest him?
1444Man to vanity hath been like, His days [are] as a shadow passing by.
1445Jehovah, incline Thy heavens and come down, Strike against mountains, and they smoke.
1446Send forth lightning, and scatter them, Send forth Thine arrows, and trouble them,
1447Send forth Thy hand from on high, Free me, and deliver me from many waters, From the hand of sons of a stranger,
1448Because their mouth hath spoken vanity, And their right hand [is] a right hand of falsehood.
1449O God, a new song I sing to Thee, On a psaltery of ten strings I sing praise to Thee.
14410Who is giving deliverance to kings, Who is freeing David His servant from the sword of evil.
14411Free me, and deliver me From the hand of sons of a stranger, Because their mouth hath spoken vanity, And their right hand [is] a right hand of falsehood,
14412Because our sons [are] as plants, Becoming great in their youth, Our daughters as hewn stones, Polished -- the likeness of a palace,
14413Our garners [are] full, bringing out from kind to kind, Our flocks are bringing forth thousands, Ten thousands in our out-places,
14414Our oxen are carrying, there is no breach, And there is no outgoing, And there is no crying in our broad places.
14415O the happiness of the people that is thus, O the happiness of the people whose God [is] Jehovah!
1451Praise by David. I exalt Thee, my God, O king, And bless Thy name to the age and for ever.
1452Every day do I bless Thee, And praise Thy name to the age and for ever.
1453Great [is] Jehovah, and praised greatly, And of His greatness there is no searching.
1454Generation to generation praiseth Thy works, And Thy mighty acts they declare.
1455The honour -- the glory of Thy majesty, And the matters of Thy wonders I declare.
1456And the strength of Thy fearful acts they tell, And Thy greatness I recount.
1457The memorial of the abundance of Thy goodness they send forth. And Thy righteousness they sing.
1458Gracious and merciful [is] Jehovah, Slow to anger, and great in kindness.
1459Good [is] Jehovah to all, And His mercies [are] over all His works.
14510Confess Thee O Jehovah, do all Thy works, And Thy saints do bless Thee.
14511The honour of Thy kingdom they tell, And [of] Thy might they speak,
14512To make known to sons of men His mighty acts, The honour of the majesty of His kingdom.
14513Thy kingdom [is] a kingdom of all ages, And Thy dominion [is] in all generations.
14514Jehovah is supporting all who are falling, And raising up all who are bowed down.
14515The eyes of all unto Thee do look, And Thou art giving to them their food in its season,
14516Opening Thy hand, and satisfying The desire of every living thing.
14517Righteous [is] Jehovah in all His ways, And kind in all His works.
14518Near [is] Jehovah to all those calling Him, To all who call Him in truth.
14519The desire of those fearing Him He doth, And their cry He heareth, and saveth them.
14520Jehovah preserveth all those loving Him, And all the wicked He destroyeth.
14521The praise of Jehovah my mouth speaketh, And all flesh doth bless His holy name, To the age and for ever!
1461Praise ye Jah! Praise, O my soul, Jehovah.
1462I praise Jehovah during my life, I sing praise to my God while I exist.
1463Trust not in princes -- in a son of man, For he hath no deliverance.
1464His spirit goeth forth, he returneth to his earth, In that day have his thoughts perished.
1465O the happiness of him Who hath the God of Jacob for his help, His hope [is] on Jehovah his God,
1466Making the heavens and earth, The sea and all that [is] in them, Who is keeping truth to the age,
1467Doing judgment for the oppressed, Giving bread to the hungry.
1468Jehovah is loosing the prisoners, Jehovah is opening (the eyes of) the blind, Jehovah is raising the bowed down, Jehovah is loving the righteous,
1469Jehovah is preserving the strangers, The fatherless and widow He causeth to stand, And the way of the wicked He turneth upside down.
14610Jehovah doth reign to the age, Thy God, O Zion, to generation and generation, Praise ye Jah!
1471Praise ye Jah! For [it is] good to praise our God, For pleasant -- comely [is] praise.
1472Building Jerusalem [is] Jehovah, The driven away of Israel He gathereth.
1473Who is giving healing to the broken of heart, And is binding up their griefs.
1474Appointing the number of the stars, To all them He giveth names.
1475Great [is] our Lord, and abundant in power, Of His understanding there is no narration.
1476Jehovah is causing the meek to stand, Making low the wicked unto the earth.
1477Answer ye to Jehovah with thanksgiving, Sing ye to our God with a harp.
1478Who is covering the heavens with clouds, Who is preparing for the earth rain, Who is causing grass to spring up [on] mountains,
1479Giving to the beast its food, To the young of the ravens that call.
14710Not in the might of the horse doth He delight, Not in the legs of a man is He pleased.
14711Jehovah is pleased with those fearing Him, With those waiting for His kindness.
14712Glorify, O Jerusalem, Jehovah, Praise thy God, O Zion.
14713For He did strengthen the bars of thy gates, He hath blessed thy sons in thy midst.
14714Who is making thy border peace, [With] the fat of wheat He satisfieth Thee.
14715Who is sending forth His saying [on] earth, Very speedily doth His word run.
14716Who is giving snow like wool, Hoar-frost as ashes He scattereth.
14717Casting forth His ice like morsels, Before His cold who doth stand?
14718He sendeth forth His word and melteth them, He causeth His wind to blow -- the waters flow.
14719Declaring His words to Jacob, His statutes and His judgments to Israel.
14720He hath not done so to any nation, As to judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye Jah!
1481Praise ye Jah! Praise ye Jehovah from the heavens, Praise ye Him in high places.
1482Praise ye Him, all His messengers, Praise ye Him, all His hosts.
1483Praise ye Him, sun and moon, Praise ye Him, all stars of light.
1484Praise ye Him, heavens of heavens, And ye waters that are above the heavens.
1485They do praise the name of Jehovah, For He commanded, and they were created.
1486And He establisheth them for ever to the age, A statute He gave, and they pass not over.
1487Praise ye Jehovah from the earth, Dragons and all deeps,
1488Fire and hail, snow and vapour, Whirlwind doing His word;
1489The mountains and all heights, Fruit tree, and all cedars,
14810The wild beast, and all cattle, Creeping thing, and winged bird,
14811Kings of earth, and all peoples, Chiefs, and all judges of earth,
14812Young men, and also maidens, Aged men, with youths,
14813They praise the name of Jehovah, For His name alone hath been set on high, His honour [is] above earth and heavens.
14814And He exalteth the horn of His people, The praise of all His saints, Of the sons of Israel, a people near Him. Praise ye Jah!
1491Praise ye Jah! Sing ye to Jehovah a new song, His praise in an assembly of saints.
1492Israel doth rejoice in his Maker, Sons of Zion do joy in their king.
1493They praise His name in a dance, With timbrel and harp sing praise to Him.
1494For Jehovah is pleased with His people, He beautifieth the humble with salvation.
1495Exult do saints in honour, They sing aloud on their beds.
1496The exaltation of God [is] in their throat, And a two-edged sword in their hand.
1497To do vengeance among nations, Punishments among the peoples.
1498To bind their kings with chains, And their honoured ones with fetters of iron,
1499To do among them the judgment written, An honour it [is] for all his saints. Praise ye Jah!
1501Praise ye Jah! Praise ye God in His holy place, Praise Him in the expanse of His strength.
1502Praise Him in His mighty acts, Praise Him according to the abundance of His greatness.
1503Praise Him with blowing of trumpet, Praise Him with psaltery and harp.
1504Praise Him with timbrel and dance, Praise Him with stringed instruments and organ.
1505Praise Him with cymbals of sounding, Praise Him with cymbals of shouting.
1506All that doth breathe doth praise Jah! Praise ye Jah!
