Cruel rulers are not your allies, those who make oppressive laws.

They are banded together against the soul of the upright, to give decisions against those who have done no wrong.

In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also.

For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,

For forty years I loathed [that] generation, and said, '[They are] a people [whose] heart wanders. And my ways they do not know.'

So in my anger I declared an oath: "They are not to enter my place of rest."

For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.

Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.

Fire goes before him, burning up all those who are against him round about.

Ashamed are all servants of a graven image, Those boasting themselves in idols, Bow yourselves to him, all ye gods.

Zion hath heard and rejoiceth, And daughters of Judah are joyful, Because of Thy judgments, O Jehovah.

For You are the Lord Most High over all the earth;
You are exalted far above all gods.

You who are lovers of the Lord, be haters of evil; he keeps the souls of his saints; he takes them out of the hand of sinners.

There is sprung up a light for the righteous, and a joyful gladness for such as are true hearted.

Moses and Aaron among His priests, And Samuel among those proclaiming His name. They are calling unto Jehovah, And He doth answer them.

You answered them, Yahweh our God. You are a God who forgave them, although you took vengeance for their doings.

Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

For the Lord is good;
His mercy and lovingkindness are everlasting,
His faithfulness [endures] to all generations.

Mine eyes are on the faithful of the land, To dwell with me, Whoso is walking in a perfect way, he serveth me.

I shall soon destroy all the ungodly that are in the land, that I may root out all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.

For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.

Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me.

My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.

But You, O Lord, are enthroned forever [ruling eternally as sovereign];
And [the fame and glory of] Your name [endures] to all generations.

To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;

When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.

I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations.

Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.

They -- They perish, and Thou remainest, And all of them as a garment become old, As clothing Thou changest them, And they are changed.

And Thou art the same, and Thine years are not finished.

The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.

For as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is his lovingkindness toward them that fear him.

For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.

As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

But the lovingkindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who [reverently] fear Him,
And His righteousness to children’s children,

to those who keep his covenant, who are careful to obey his commands.

Bless Jehovah, ye his angels, That are mighty in strength, that fulfil his word, Hearkening unto the voice of his word.

Bless and affectionately praise the Lord, O my soul!
O Lord my God, You are very great;
You are clothed with splendor and majesty,

[You are the One] who covers Yourself with light as with a garment,
Who stretches out the heavens like a tent curtain,

But at thy rebuke they flee, at the voice of thy thunder they are afraid.

Then are the hills seen aloft, and the valleys beneath - in their place which thou hast appointed for them.

Bounds, hast thou set, which they are not to pass over, They are not to return to cover the earth.

[You are] the one who sends forth springs into the valleys; they flow between [the] mountains.

[You are the one who] {waters} [the] mountains from his upper chambers. The earth is full with the fruit of your labors:

The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;

Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.

The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.

The young lions are roaring for prey, And to seek from God their food.

The sun riseth, they are gathered, And in their dens they crouch.

O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.

So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.

They all wait for You
To give them their food in its appointed season.

That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.

Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.

Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.

Consumed are sinners from the earth, And the wicked are no more. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah. Praise ye Jehovah!

Have glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who are searching after the Lord be glad.

He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth.

Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times.

Keep me in mind, O Lord, when you are good to your people; O let your salvation come to me;

We are sinners like our fathers, we have done wrong, our acts are evil.

And they are envious of Moses in the camp, Of Aaron, Jehovah's holy one.

And they are coupled to Baal-Peor, And eat the sacrifices of the dead,

And serve their idols, And they are to them for a snare.

And they are defiled with their works, And commit whoredom in their habitual doings.

And their enemies oppress them, And they are humbled under their hand.

Many times He doth deliver them, And they rebel in their counsel, And they are brought low in their iniquity.

Blessed are you, LORD God of Israel, from eternity to eternity; Let all the people say, "Amen!" Hallelujah!

The doors of brass are broken by his arm, and the bands of iron are cut in two.

Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.

They are disgusted by all food, and they come near to the doors of death.

The sailors go up to heaven, and down into the deep; their souls are wasted because of their trouble.

They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end.

He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.

Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.

He makes a fertile country into a salt waste, because of the sins of those who are living there.

He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.

Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.

[The] upright see [it] and are glad, and all wickedness shuts its mouth.

For Your lovingkindness is great and higher than the heavens;
Your truth reaches to the skies.

For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.

Words of hate are round about me; they have made war against me without cause.

For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.

His days are few, his oversight another taketh,

His sons are fatherless, and his wife a widow.

They are before Jehovah continually, And He cutteth off from earth their memorial.

This, be the reward of mine accusers, from Yahweh, even of them who are speaking wrongfully against my life.

But You, O God, the Lord, show kindness to me, for Your name’s sake;
Because Your lovingkindness (faithfulness, compassion) is good, O rescue me;

My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.

Help me, O Lord my God! Because you are faithful to me, deliver me!

They revile, and Thou dost bless, They have risen, and are ashamed, And Thy servant doth rejoice.

Mine accusers put on blushing, and are covered, As an upper robe is their shame.

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

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 has sworn [an oath] and will not change His mind:
“You are a priest forever
According to the order of Melchizedek.”

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

Splendid and glorious are his awesome deeds, and his righteousness endures forever.

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

They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.
