All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah.

He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.

Ruling by his strength forever; his eyes will look about upon the nations: they turning away shall not lift up for themselves. Silence.

To the overseer; to David chanting of a song. God will rise; his enemies shall be scattered, and they hating him shall flee from his face.

But the righteous shall rejoice: they shall exult before God and be glad with joy.

O God, you cause abundant showers to fall on your chosen people. When they are tired, you sustain them,

Kings of armies flee, they flee; And she that tarrieth at home divideth the spoil.

God has countless chariots; they number in the thousands. The Lord comes from Sinai in holy splendor.

They have seen thy goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.

The chiefs went before, they playing on instruments, after; in the midst, girls beating the tabret.

Sound your battle cry against the wild beast of the reeds, and the nations that assemble like a herd of calves led by bulls! They humble themselves and offer gold and silver as tribute. God scatters the nations that like to do battle.

Kings will give you offerings, they will come out of Egypt; from Pathros will come offerings of silver; Ethiopia will be stretching out her hands to God.

Save me, O God,
For the waters have threatened my life [they have come up to my neck].

They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.

They waiting for thee shall not be ashamed for me: O Lord Jehovah of armies, they shall not be disgraced for me, seeking thee, O God of Israel.

My own brothers treat me like a stranger; they act as if I were a foreigner.

When I put on the clothing of grief, they said evil of me.

They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards.

Draw near to my soul and redeem it;
Ransom me because of my enemies [so that they do not delight in my distress].

They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

Let their table before them become a snare; And when they are in peace, let it become a trap.

Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.

For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.

Give punishment for their iniquity, And they enter not into Thy righteousness.

They are blotted out of the book of life, And with the righteous are not written.

The meek shall see it, they shall be glad; ye that seek God, your heart shall live.

For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.

The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein.

They seeking my soul shall be confused and ashamed: they shall be turned away behind; and they desiring my evils, shall be ashamed.

They shall be turned back for a reward of their shame, saying, Aha! Aha

All seeking thee shall rejoice and be glad in thee, and they shall say always, God shall be magnified; they loving thy salvation.

Many are appalled when they see me, but you are my secure shelter.

For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,

They say, "God has abandoned him. Run and seize him, for there is no one who will rescue him!"

They are ashamed, they are consumed, Who are opposing my soul, They are covered with reproach and blushing, Who are seeking my evil,

My mouth will make clear your righteousness and your salvation all the day; for they are more than may be measured.

Thy righteousness, O God, is very high, and great things are they that thou hast done; O God, who is like unto thee?

My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt.

They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations.

They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust.

For he will deliver the needy when they cry out for help, and the poor when there is no deliverer.

And they shall live; and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: And men shall pray for him continually; They shall bless him all the day long.

There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.

His name is to the age, Before the sun is his name continued, And they bless themselves in him, All nations do pronounce him happy.

For they have no pangs in their death, and their body is well nourished;

They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.

For this reason pride is round them like a chain; they are clothed with violent behaviour as with a robe.

Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.

They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.

They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.

Therefore their people return to them, and they drink up waters of abundance.

And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?

Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.

Yea, I had almost also said even as they do; but lo, then should I have condemned the generation of thy children.

You put their feet where there was danger of slipping, so that they go down into destruction.

How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.

As a dream when one is awake, they are ended; they are like an image gone out of mind when sleep is over.

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

Remember your people whom you acquired in ancient times, whom you rescued so they could be your very own nation, as well as Mount Zion, where you dwell!

Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs.

They seemed as men that lifted up Axes upon a thicket of trees.

But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers.

They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.

They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.

Thou, didst cleave asunder, in thy might, the sea, Thou didst break in pieces the heads of the Crocodiles, till they floated on the waters;

To the Overseer. -- 'Destroy not.' -- A Psalm of Asaph. -- A Song. We have given thanks to Thee, O God, We have given thanks, and near is Thy name, They have recounted Thy wonders.

For, a cup, is in the hand of Yahweh, Whose wine is foaming, It is full of spiced wine, Which he hath caused to flow from one to another, - Surely, the dregs thereof, they shall drain out - they shall drink, Even all the lawless ones of the earth.

The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands.

Vow and complete to Jehovah your God, All ye surrounding him. They bring presents to the Fearful One.

When I was in distress, I sought the Lord; my hands were raised at night and they did not grow weary. I refused to be comforted.

The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled.

Which have come to our hearing and our knowledge, as they were given to us by our fathers.

For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children:

That the generation to come might know them, the children that should be born; that they might rise up and tell them to their children,

That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:

And they are not like their fathers, A generation apostate and rebellious, A generation! it hath not prepared its heart, Nor stedfast with God is its spirit.

The sons of Ephraim were armed as archers and carrying bows,
Yet they turned back in the day of battle.

They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;

And they forgat his doings, And his wondrous works that he had showed them.

The sea was cut in two so that they might go through; the waters were massed together on this side and on that.

And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness.

And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.

Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?

Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:

Then ate they angels' food, for he sent them meat enough.

So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;

They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths,

For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.

When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and inquired early after God.

And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer.

Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.

For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.

For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.

How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert!

Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.

They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy.

And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink.

He will send forth among them the gad-fly, and they shall devour them; and frogs, and they shall destroy them.

He gave their crops to caterpillars and what they worked for to locusts.

And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
