He took them out of the dark and the black night, and all their chains were broken.

Fools, because of their rebellious way,
And because of their sins, were afflicted.

Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.

Then they send up their cry to the Lord in their sorrow, and he gives them salvation out of all their troubles.

He sent his word and made them well, and kept them safe from the underworld.

And he will say, and he will cause the spirit of storm to stand up, and its waves will rise up.

They will go up to the heavens, they will go down to the depths: their soul will be melted with evil.

They reel to and fro, and move as a drunkard, And all their wisdom is swallowed up.

Then they send up their cry to the Lord in their sorrow, and he gives them salvation out of all their troubles.

He will set the storm for a calm, and their waves will be still

And they will be glad that they will subside, and he will guide them to the harbor of their desire.

He will set rivers to a desert, and the findings of waters to thirst;

He will set a desert for pools of water, and a land of dryness for findings of water.

And there will he cause the hungering to dwell, and they shall prepare a city of dwelling;

And they shall sow fields and plant vineyards, and they will make fruits of produce.

He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly. He doesn't allow their livestock to decrease.

And they will be diminished and brought low from oppression, evil and grief

He poured out contempt upon the nobles, and he will cause them to wander in a waste of not a way.

He will set up the needy on high from affliction, and he will set families as a flock.

The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.

Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.

{A Song or Psalm of David.} O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.

Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.

I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.

Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;

God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

Gilead and Manasseh belong to me, while Ephraim is my chief stronghold and Judah is my scepter.

Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.

Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?

Have You not rejected us, O God?
And will You not go out, O God, with our armies?

Through God we shall do valiantly: For he it is that will tread down our adversaries.

And with words of hatred they surrounded me, and they will war with me gratuitously.

For my love, they have been accusing me, while, I, was at prayer:

Thus they reward me evil for good, and hatred for my good will.

When he is judged, he will be found guilty! Then his prayer will be regarded as sinful.

May his children roam around begging, seeking food while driven far from their ruined homes.

Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.

The iniquity of his fathers will be in remembrance to Jehovah, and the sins of his mother shall not be wiped of

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

Because he remembered not to do mercy, and he will pursue the poor and needy man to slay the dejected of heart.

And he will love cursing, and it shall come to him: and he delighted not in praise, and it shall be far from him.

As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.

Let it be to him as a robe which he puts on, let it be like a band which is round him at all times.

My knees give way from fasting, and my skin is lean, deprived of oil.

And I was a reproach to them: they will see me and they will shake the head.

Then they will realize that your hand is in this that you, LORD, have accomplished it.

Though they curse, You will bless.
When they rise up, they will be put to shame,
but Your servant will rejoice.

My accusers will be clothed with disgrace;
they will wear their shame like a cloak.

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

For he will stand at the right hand of the needy, To save him from them that judge his soul.

The Lord said to my lord, Be seated at my right hand, till I put all those who are against you under your feet.

Jehovah will send forth the rod of thy strength out of Zion: Rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.

Thy 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.

The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

The Lord at thy right hand Will strike through kings in the day of his wrath.

He will judge among the nations, He will fill the places with dead bodies; He will strike through the head in many countries.

He will drink of the brook in the way: Therefore will he lift up the head.

Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.

The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.

All that He does is splendid and majestic;
His righteousness endures forever.

He does amazing things that will be remembered; the Lord is merciful and compassionate.

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

The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.

sustained through all eternity, and fashioned in both truth and righteousness.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.

His {descendants} will be mighty in the land; [the] generation of [the] upright will be blessed.

A store of wealth will be in his house, and his righteousness will be for ever.

A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.

He will never be shaken;
The righteous will be remembered forever.

He will not fear bad news;
his heart is confident, trusting in the Lord.

His heart is upheld, he will not fear
While he looks [with satisfaction] on his adversaries.

He distributes freely to the poor;
his righteousness endures forever.
His horn will be exalted in honor.

The wicked will see it and be angered,
He will gnash his teeth and melt away [in despair and death];
The desire of the wicked will perish and come to nothing.

The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.

Raising up the poor from the dust, he will lift up the needy from the dunghill.

The sea saw and it will flee: Jordan will turn away back

O mountains, ye will leap as rams? O hills, as sons of the flock?

which turned the hard rock into a standing water, and the flint stone into a springing well.

And our God is in the heavens, All that He hath pleased He hath done.

A mouth to them, and they shall not speak: eyes to them, and they will not see:

Their hands, and they will not feel: their feet, and they shall not go: they shall not murmur in their throat

Those who make them will become like them,
Everyone who trusts in them.

The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.

He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.

Jehovah will add unto you more, unto you and unto your children.

All the whole heavens are the LORD's; but the earth hath he given unto the children of men.

The dead praise not thee, O LORD, neither all they that go down into silence.

But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD.

I am well pleased, that the LORD hath heard the voice of my prayer,

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

I shall find trouble and heaviness, and I will call upon the Name of the LORD, "O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul."

Jehovah watching the simple: I was brought low, and he will save for me.

I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.

I believe, for I will speak: I was greatly afflicted:

I said in my haste, All men are liars.

What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me?

I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.

I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.

I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.

I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people,
