Thy congregation dwelt in it. Thou, O God, prepared for the poor from thy goodness.

When you lie down [to rest] among the sheepfolds,
You [Israel] are like the wings of a dove [of victory] overlaid with silver,
Its feathers glistening with gold [trophies taken from the enemy].

The chariots of God are tens of thousands and thousands of thousands. The Lord is among them, from Sinai, into the sanctuary.

From thy temple at Jerusalem kings shall bring a gift to thee.

Ambassadors will come from Egypt; Cush will quickly stretch out her hands to God.

I am weary from my crying;
my throat is parched.
My eyes fail, looking for my God.

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

I have become strange to my brothers, and like a man from a far country to my mother's children.

I weep and refrain from eating food, which causes others to insult me.

O my God, cause me to escape From the hand of the wicked, From the hand of the perverse and violent.

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

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

O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.

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

They do corruptly, And they speak in the wickedness of oppression, From on high they speak.

They set their mouth against the heavens,
And their tongue swaggers through the earth.

I kept my heart pure for nothing and kept my hands clean from guilt.

How have they become a desolation as in a moment, They have been ended -- consumed from terrors.

As a dream from awakening, O Lord, In awaking, their image Thou despisest.

Who to me in the heavens? and from thee I desired nothing in the earth.

But God is the rock and strength of my heart and my portion forever.

For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.

And all the wicked of the earth must drain it and drink down to its dregs.

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

From Thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both rider and horse have been fast asleep.

Thou art feared, thou: and who shall stand before thee from the time of thine anger?

I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

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

So that all who pass by pick its fruit?

Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;

Burnt with fire -- cut down, From the rebuke of Thy face they perish.

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