Thus they exchanged [the true God who was] their glory
For the image of an ox that eats grass.

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

Talking against him secretly in their tents, they did not give ear to the voice of the Lord.

Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them.

And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore.

They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:

For they rebelled against him, so that he spoke thoughtlessly with his lips.

So the Lord was angry with his people and despised the people who belong to him.

Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.

And He remembered His covenant for their sake,
And relented [rescinding their sentence] according to the greatness of His lovingkindness [when they cried out to Him],

- That they would offer unto him the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and tell out his works with gladness!

Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.

Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock.

Whoso is wise, let him observe these things, and let them understand the loving-kindnesses of Jehovah.

Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.

When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.

The creditor shall lay snares for all which is to him, and strangers shall plunder his labor.

Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.

Let their sins always remain before the Lord,
and let Him erase all memory of them from the earth.

Because he remembered not to shew kindness, but persecuted the afflicted and needy man, and the broken in heart, to slay him.

As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.

Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.

I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.

For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.

He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.

The [reverent] fear of the Lord is the beginning (the prerequisite, the absolute essential, the alphabet) of wisdom;
A good understanding and a teachable heart are possessed by all those who do the will of the Lord;
His praise endures forever.

The ungodly shall see it, and it shall grieve him; he shall gnash with his teeth, and consume away, and the desire of the ungodly shall perish.

He takes the poor man out of the dust, lifting him up from his low position;

That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.

But our God is in heaven: he has done whatever was pleasing to him.

O Israel, trust and take refuge in the Lord! [Be confident in Him, cling to Him, rely on His word!]
He is their help and their shield.

I love [him], because Yahweh has heard {the voice of my supplications}.

Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.

What will I give to the Lord [in return]
For all His benefits toward me?
[How can I repay Him for His precious blessings?]

O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people.

This [is] the day Yahweh has worked; let us rejoice and be glad in him.

A blessing be on him who comes in the name of the Lord; we give you blessing from the house of the Lord.

Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.

So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word.

Be thou surety for thy servant to do him good, that the proud do me no wrong.

My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

I rely on the Lord, I rely on him with my whole being; I wait for his assuring word.

Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.

His enemies I do clothe with shame, And upon him doth his crown flourish!

Lift up your hands to the sanctuary
And bless the Lord.

Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise him, O ye servants of the LORD.

The Lord has done whatever was pleasing to him, in heaven, and on the earth, in the seas and in all the deep waters.

For the Lord will judge His people
And He will have compassion on His servants [revealing His mercy].

O house of Levi, bless the Lord;
You who fear the Lord [and worship Him with obedience], bless the Lord [with grateful praise]!

To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy endureth for ever.

To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy endureth for ever.

To him that stretched out the earth above the waters: for his mercy endureth for ever.

To him that made great lights: for his mercy endureth for ever:

To him that smote Egypt in their firstborn: for his mercy endureth for ever:

To him which divided the Red sea into parts: for his mercy endureth for ever:

By him Pharaoh and his army were overturned in the Red Sea: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.

To him which led his people through the wilderness: for his mercy endureth for ever.

To him which smote great kings: for his mercy endureth for ever:

Who [faithfully] remembered us in our lowly condition,
For His lovingkindness endures forever;

Who gives food to all flesh,
For His lovingkindness endures forever;

O daughter of Babylon, O destroyed one, O the happiness of him who repayeth to thee thy deed, That thou hast done to us.

O the happiness of him who doth seize, And hath dashed thy sucklings on the rock!

Though the Lord is exalted,
He regards the lowly [and invites them into His fellowship];
But the proud and haughty He knows from a distance.

O Lord, give not the wrongdoer his desire; give him no help in his evil designs, or he may be uplifted in pride. (Selah.)

Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.

I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble.

He is my faithful love and my fortress,
my stronghold and my deliverer.
He is my shield, and I take refuge in Him;
He subdues my people under me.

LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him!

Happy the people thus and thus to him: happy the people Jehovah his God.

The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.

He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them.

The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy.

Ye shall not trust in nobles: in the son of man, to him no salvation.

When his spirit leaves him, he returns to the earth;
In that very day his thoughts and plans perish.

O the happiness of him Who hath the God of Jacob for his help, His hope is on Jehovah his God,

The Lord opens the eyes of the blind;
The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down;
The Lord loves the righteous [the upright in heart].

Praise Yah, for it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant and fitting to praise him.

which giveth fodder unto the cattle, and feedeth the young ravens that call upon him.

The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.

Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights.

Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.

Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.

Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens.

He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the LORD.

Praise the Lord!
Sing to the Lord a new song,
And praise Him in the congregation of His godly ones (believers).

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.

Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.

Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.

Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.

Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.

Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.
