He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.

As for the sinners, they shall be consumed out of the earth, and the ungodly shall come to an end. But praise thou the LORD, O my soul: Praise the everlasting! Hallelujah!

When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.

When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people;

Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:

Their hearts were turned to hate against his people, so that they made secret designs against them.

They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.

He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.

And they devoured every herb in their land, and ate up the fruit of their ground.

Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.

They asked, and he brought quails, And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.

When he led his people out, they rejoiced; his chosen ones shouted with joy.

And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people;

That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD.

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

Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked him at the sea, even at the Red sea.

Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.

They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel:

And they lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.

He gave them what they asked for,
but sent a wasting disease among them.

They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the LORD.

They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.

Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.

They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;

Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word:

But murmured in their tents: they hearkened not unto the voice of Jehovah.

They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.

Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them.

They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:

Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.

They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them:

But they mingled with the nations, and learned their works;

And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.

Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,

And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.

Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.

And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them.

Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.

Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.

And He remembered His covenant for their sake,
And relented [rescinding their sentence] according to the greatness of His lovingkindness [when they cried out to Him],

They being redeemed of Jehovah shall say, Which he redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.

Hungry and thirsty,
They fainted.

Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.

And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.

They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men.

They sat in utter darkness, bound in painful iron chains,

Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:

Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.

Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.

They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men.

They acted like fools in their rebellious ways, and suffered because of their sins.

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

Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.

He sent them an assuring word and healed them; he rescued them from the pits where they were trapped.

They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men,

And they sacrifice sacrifices of thanksgiving, And recount His works with singing.

They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;

They have seen the works of Jehovah, And His wonders in the deep.

They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.

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

Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.

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

They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men,

And they exalt Him in the assembly of the people, And in the seat of the elders praise Him.

And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;

And they sow fields, and plant vineyards, And they make fruits of increase.

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.

When the godly see this, they rejoice, and every sinner shuts his mouth.

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

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.

They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.

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

And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.

And wander continually do his sons, Yea, they have begged, And have sought out of their dry places.

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

He wore curses like a garment may they enter his inner being like water and his bones like oil.

I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads.

That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, LORD, hast done it.

Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.

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

Great are the acts of the LORD; they are within reach of all who desire them.

The merciful and gracious LORD hath so done his marvelous works, that they ought to be had in remembrance.

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

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.

When the wicked see this, they will worry; they will grind their teeth in frustration and melt away; the desire of the wicked will perish.

Their idols are made of silver and gold -- they are man-made.

They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:

They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:

They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.

They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.

They that fear the LORD, let them put their trust in the LORD, for he is their aid and their shield.

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

They fearing Jehovah shall now say that his mercy is forever.

They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.

They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.

They thrust at me, that I might fall; but the LORD was my help.

They celebrate deliverance in the tents of the godly. The Lord's right hand conquers,
