Praise the LORD, you angels of his, who are mighty in strength, who fulfill his word, obeying the voice of his word.

Praise the LORD, all you armies of his, you servants of his, who do his pleasure.

There the ships go, and leviathan, whom you formed to play there.

Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek the LORD rejoice.

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

Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD, or fully declare all his praise?

Blessed are those who uphold justice, who practice righteousness at all times.

He saved them from the hand of him who hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

They forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt,

They shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan. The land was polluted with blood.

He gave them into the hand of the nations. Those who hated them ruled over them.

He made them also to be pitied by all those who carried them captive.

Let the redeemed by the LORD say so, whom he has redeemed from the hand of the adversary,

Those who go down to the sea in ships, who do business in great waters;

and a fruitful land into a salt waste, for the wickedness of those who dwell in it.

Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who has led me to Edom?

Through God, we will do valiantly. For it is he who will trample down our enemies.

This is the reward of my adversaries from the LORD, of those who speak evil against my soul.

For he will stand at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those who judge his soul.

The LORD's works are great, pondered by all those who delight in them.

He has given food to those who fear him. He always remembers his covenant.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom. All those who do his work have a good understanding. His praise endures forever.

Praise the LORD. Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who delights greatly in his commandments.

It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. He will maintain his cause in judgment.

Who is like the LORD, our God, who has his seat on high,

Who stoops down to see in heaven and in the earth?

who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of waters.

Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.

You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD. He is their help and their shield.

He will bless those who fear the LORD, both small and great.

Blessed are you by the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

The dead do not praise the LORD, neither any who go down into silence;

Now let those who fear the LORD say that his loving kindness endures forever.

The LORD is on my side among those who help me. Therefore I will look in triumph at those who hate me.

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD. We have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.

ALEPH. Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the LORD.

Blessed are those who keep his decrees, who seek him with their whole heart.

You have rebuked the proud who are cursed, who wander from your commandments.

So I will have an answer for him who reproaches me, for I trust in your word.

Indignation has taken hold on me, because of the wicked who forsake your Law.

I am a friend of all those who fear you, of those who observe your precepts.

Those who fear you will see me and be glad, because I have put my hope in your word.

Let those who fear you turn to me. They will know your statutes.

How many are the days of your servant? When will you execute judgment on those who persecute me?

You reject all those who stray from your statutes, for their deceit is in vain.

Turn to me, and have mercy on me, as you always do to those who love your name.

They draw near who follow after wickedness. They are far from your Law.

I rejoice at your word, as one who finds great spoil.

Those who love your Law have great peace. Nothing causes them to stumble.

My soul has had her dwelling too long with him who hates peace.

My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

He will not allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber.

Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you will prosper.

To you I do lift up my eyes, you who sit in the heavens.

Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease, with the contempt of the proud.

If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, let Israel now say,

if it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us;

Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.

Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

Those who trust in the LORD are as Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but remains forever.

Do good, LORD, to those who are good, to those who are upright in their hearts.

But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways, The LORD will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be on Israel.

When the LORD brought back those who returned to Zion, we were like those who dream.

Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.

He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing, will certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.

Unless the LORD builds the house, they labor in vain who build it. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchman guards it in vain.

Blessed is the man who has his quiver full of them. They won't be disappointed when they speak with their enemies in the gate.

Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD, who walks in his ways.

Behold, thus is the man blessed who fears the LORD.

Let them be disappointed and turned backward, all those who hate Zion.

with which the reaper doesn't fill his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.

Neither do those who go by say, "The blessing of the LORD be on you. We bless you in the name of the LORD."

If you, LORD, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand?

Look. Praise the LORD, all you servants of the LORD, who stand by night in the LORD's house.

May the LORD bless you from Zion; even he who made heaven and earth.

you who stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of our God's house.

who causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth; who makes lightnings with the rain; who brings forth the wind out of his treasuries;

Who struck the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and animal;

Who sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his servants;

who struck many nations, and killed mighty kings,

Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.

House of Levi, praise the LORD. You who fear the LORD, praise the LORD.

Blessed be the LORD from Zion, Who dwells at Jerusalem. Praise the LORD.

To him who alone does great wonders; for his loving kindness endures forever:

To him who by understanding made the heavens; for his loving kindness endures forever:

To him who spread out the earth above the waters; for his loving kindness endures forever:

To him who made the great lights; for his loving kindness endures forever:

To him who struck down the Egyptian firstborn; for his loving kindness endures forever;

To him who divided the Sea of Suf apart; for his loving kindness endures forever;

To him who led his people through the wilderness; for his loving kindness endures forever:

To him who struck great kings; for his loving kindness endures forever;

Who remembered us in our low estate; for his loving kindness endures forever;

Who gives food to every creature; for his loving kindness endures forever.

For there, those who led us captive asked us for songs. Those who tormented us demanded songs of joy: "Sing us one of the songs of Zion."

Remember, LORD, against the children of Edom, the day of Jerusalem; who said, "Raze it. Raze it even to its foundation."

Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, he will be blessed who rewards you, as you have served us.

Blessed shall he be who takes and dashes your little ones against the rock.

LORD, do I not hate those who hate you? Am I not grieved with those who rise up against you?

those who devise mischief in their hearts. They continually gather themselves together for war.
