They go from strength to strength; Every one of them appeareth before God in Zion.

He chose David also his servant, And took him from the sheepfolds:

And he called for a famine upon the land; He brake the whole staff of bread.

Blessed be Jehovah God, the God of Israel, Who only doeth wondrous things:

Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

And now shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me. And I will offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto Jehovah.

Let the righteous smite me, it shall be a kindness; And let him reprove me, it shall be as oil upon the head; Let not my head refuse it: For even in their wickedness shall my prayer continue.

God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there were any that did understand, That did seek after God.

They cried unto thee, and were delivered: They trusted in thee, and were not put to shame.

God reigneth over the nations: God sitteth upon his holy throne.

Now know I that Jehovah saveth his anointed; He will answer him from his holy heaven With the saving strength of his right hand.

That thy way may be known upon earth, Thy salvation among all nations.

They gape upon me with their mouth, As a ravening and a roaring lion.

At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed, Hailstones and coals of fire.

He sendeth forth springs into the valleys; They run among the mountains;

My soul melteth for heaviness: Strengthen thou me according unto thy word.

Let his children be fatherless, And his wife a widow.

Israel also came into Egypt; And Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever; Thy faithfulness wilt thou establish in the very heavens.

For thou hast been my help, And in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

Jehovah, I love the habitation of thy house, And the place where thy glory dwelleth.

Before Jehovah; for he cometh, For he cometh to judge the earth: He will judge the world with righteousness, And the peoples with his truth.

Who is like unto Jehovah our God, That hath his seat on high,

For thou, Jehovah, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.

Kings daughters are among thy honorable women: At thy right hand doth stand the queen in gold of Ophir.

Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, That it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah

Blessed be God, Who hath not turned away my prayer, Nor his lovingkindness from me.

Praise Jehovah, O Jerusalem; Praise thy God, O Zion.

Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble, And he saveth them out of their distresses.

By terrible things thou wilt answer us in righteousness, Oh God of our salvation, Thou that art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, And of them that are afar off upon the sea:

As for me, I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved.

Hide not thy face from me; Put not thy servant away in anger: Thou hast been my help; Cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me, That I might cut off them that hate me.

Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me; Neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.

Who is this King of glory? Jehovah of hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah

Jehovah, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him? Or the son of man, that thou makest account of him?

The idols of the nations are silver and gold, The work of men's hands.

Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright; For there is a happy end to the man of peace.

Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; For Jehovah upholdeth him with his hand.

TAV. Let my cry come near before thee, O Jehovah: Give me understanding according to thy word.

In his days shall the righteous flourish, And abundance of peace, till the moon be no more.

Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a vesture; The waters stood above the mountains.

Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, And ye waters that are above the heavens.

As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, So Jehovah is round about his people From this time forth and for evermore.

So he was their shepherd according to the integrity of his heart, And guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.

For in the hand of Jehovah there is a cup, and the wine foameth; It is full of mixture, and he poureth out of the same: Surely the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall drain them, and drink them.

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

Then shall mine enemies turn back in the day that I call: This I know, that God is for me.

Jehovah will support him upon the couch of languishing: Thou makest all his bed in his sickness.

Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: According to thy lovingkindness remember thou me, For thy goodness'sake, O Jehovah.

Upon the willows in the midst thereof We hanged up our harps.

Jehovah openeth the eyes of the blind; Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down; Jehovah loveth the righteous;

Thy testimonies have I taken as a heritage for ever; For they are the rejoicing of my heart.

Teach me good judgment and knowledge; For I have believed in thy commandments.

His going forth is from the end of the heavens, And his circuit unto the ends of it; And there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

My soul followeth hard after thee: Thy right hand upholdeth me.

Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their master, As the eyes of a maid unto the hand of her mistress; So our eyes look unto Jehovah our God, Until he have mercy upon us.

Jehovah preserveth all them that love him; But all the wicked will he destroy.

Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, and give ear unto my cry; Hold not thy peace at my tears: For I am a stranger with thee, A sojourner, as all my fathers were.

Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth up, Let Israel now say,

How long will ye judge unjustly, And respect the persons of the wicked? Selah

RESH. Consider mine affliction, and deliver me; For I do not forget thy law.

Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding; Whose trappings must be bit and bridle to hold them in, Else they will not come near unto thee.

The king's daughter within the palace is all glorious: Her clothing is inwrought with gold.

When Israel went forth out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

He only is my rock and my salvation: He is my high tower; I shall not be moved.

Let death come suddenly upon them, Let them go down alive into Sheol; For wickedness is in their dwelling, in the midst of them.

For my life is spent with sorrow, And my years with sighing: My strength faileth because of mine iniquity, And my bones are wasted away.

He turned their heart to hate his people, To deal subtly with his servants.

Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined forth.

Jehovah redeemeth the soul of his servants; And none of them that take refuge in him shall be condemned.

Better is a little that the righteous hath Than the abundance of many wicked.

I said, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me: Heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

My lovingkindness, and my fortress, My high tower, and my deliverer; My shield, and he in whom I take refuge; Who subdueth my people under me.

Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, Being bound in affliction and iron,

For mine iniquities are gone over my head: As a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

Blessed art thou, O Jehovah: Teach me thy statutes.

Turn us again, O God; And cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.

I will give thanks unto thee with uprightness of heart, When I learn thy righteous judgments.

For Jehovah will not cast off his people, Neither will he forsake his inheritance.

They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; That the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

Let the peoples praise thee, O God; Let all the peoples praise thee.

I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy doings; I muse on the work of thy hands.

Light is sown for the righteous, And gladness for the upright in heart.

My steps have held fast to thy paths, My feet have not slipped.

Deliver my soul from the sword, My darling from the power of the dog.

And he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; Yea, lightnings manifold, and discomfited them.

Let the saints exult in glory: Let them sing for joy upon their beds.

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

When I thought how I might know this, It was too painful for me;

Of the glorious majesty of thine honor, And of thy wondrous works, will I meditate.

He will judge the poor of the people, He will save the children of the needy, And will break in pieces the oppressor.

Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive, And he shall be blessed upon the earth; And deliver not thou him unto the will of his enemies.

Jehovah liveth; and blessed be my rock; And exalted be the God of my salvation,

Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: Let such as love thy salvation say continually, Jehovah be magnified.

Even there shall thy hand lead me, And thy right hand shall hold me.

When our sons shall be as plants grown up in their youth, And our daughters as corner-stones hewn after the fashion of a palace;

In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid; What can man do unto me?

He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, And lifteth up the needy from the dunghill;

Then the channels of waters appeared, And the foundations of the world were laid bare, At thy rebuke, O Jehovah, At the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.

I will be glad and rejoice in thy lovingkindness; For thou hast seen my affliction: Thou hast known my soul in adversities;

Thou hast given him his heart's desire, And hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah

I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; Yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.

They joined themselves also unto Baal-peor, And ate the sacrifices of the dead.

The sea is his, and he made it; And his hands formed the dry land.

Thy commandments make me wiser than mine enemies; For they are ever with me.

Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.

And my soul shall be joyful in Jehovah: It shall rejoice in his salvation.

Let them praise the name of Jehovah; For he commanded, and they were created.

Fire and hail, snow and vapor; Stormy wind, fulfilling his word;

And blessed be his glorious name for ever; And let the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen, and Amen.

I have gone astray like a lost sheep; Seek thy servant; For I do not forget thy commandments.

Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; Let thy glory be above all the earth.

Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people; Thou hast covered all their sin. Selah

Then will thou delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, In burnt-offering and in whole burnt-offering: Then will they offer bullocks upon thine altar.

Come, behold the works of Jehovah, What desolations he hath made in the earth.

For they gat not the land in possession by their own sword, Neither did their own arm save them; But thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, Because thou wast favorable unto them.

The mountains shall bring peace to the people, And the hills, in righteousness.

The singers went before, the minstrels followed after, In the midst of the damsels playing with timbrels.

Oh continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee, And thy righteousness to the upright in heart.

Who causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; Who maketh lightnings for the rain; Who bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries;

I know that Jehovah will maintain the cause of the afflicted, And justice for the needy.

Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: And I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; And for comforters, but I found none.

The law of thy mouth is better unto me Than thousands of gold and silver.

Seven times a day do I praise thee, Because of thy righteous ordinances.

Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name; And deliver us, and forgive our sins, for thy name's sake.

Will not God search this out? For he knoweth the secrets of the heart.

Thou knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonor: Mine adversaries are all before thee.

Oh let the nations be glad and sing for joy; For thou wilt judge the peoples with equity, And govern the nations upon earth. Selah

This is Jehovah's doing; It is marvellous in our eyes.

We have thought on thy lovingkindness, O God, In the midst of thy temple.

Oh bless our God, ye peoples, And make the voice of his praise to be heard;

How shall we sing Jehovah's song In a foreign land?

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

Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, Our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.

Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, Upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.

He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young wild-ox.

Thy testimonies also are my delight And my counsellors.

He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, Wrath, and indignation, and trouble, A band of angels of evil.

This is the generation of them that seek after him, That seek thy face, even Jacob. Selah

Praise ye him, sun and moon: Praise him, all ye stars of light.

Thou didst cause men to ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water; But thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.

But man being in honor abideth not: He is like the beasts that perish.

In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee; For thou wilt answer me.

Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: Who is a great god like unto God?

Jehovah hath made known his salvation: His righteousness hath he openly showed in the sight of the nations.

The face of Jehovah is against them that do evil, To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

And he gave them their request, But sent leanness into their soul.

If his children forsake my law, And walk not in mine ordinances;

Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, Like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.

There go the ships; There is leviathan, whom thou hast formed to play therein.

Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; They remembered not the multitude of thy lovingkindnesses, But were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.

Ascribe unto Jehovah the glory due unto his name: Bring an offering, and come into his courts.

I will take the cup of salvation, And call upon the name of Jehovah.

Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; For therein do I delight.

Thy throne is established of old: Thou art from everlasting.

I have not sat with men of falsehood; Neither will I go in with dissemblers.

Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high; Thou who hast done great things, O God, who is like unto thee?

Let thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, According as we have hoped in thee.

Even the darkness hideth not from thee, But the night shineth as the day: The darkness and the light are both alike to thee .

Before Jehovah; for he cometh to judge the earth: He will judge the world with righteousness, And the peoples with equity.

O Jehovah God of hosts, Who is a mighty one, like unto thee, O Jehovah? And thy faithfulness is round about thee.

Depart from evil, and do good; And dwell for evermore.

Glory ye in his holy name: Let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah.

Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: So shall I meditate on thy wondrous works.

My soul breaketh for the longing That it hath unto thine ordinances at all times.

Honor and majesty are before him: Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

I thought on my ways, And turned my feet unto thy testimonies.

Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; Shame hath covered my face.

Once have I sworn by my holiness: I will not lie unto David:

I spread forth my hands unto thee: My soul thirsteth after thee, as a weary land. Selah

MEM. I have seen an end of all perfection; But thy commandment is exceeding broad.

He made known his ways unto Moses, His doings unto the children of Israel.

But my people hearkened not to my voice; And Israel would none of me.

But he, being merciful, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: Yea, many a time turned he his anger away, And did not stir up all his wrath.

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God, And kept not his testimonies;

Thou rulest the pride of the sea: When the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.

Ye put to shame the counsel of the poor, Because Jehovah is his refuge.

But as for me, my feet were almost gone; My steps had well nigh slipped.

I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: Upon a psaltery of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.

Let them praise the name of Jehovah; For his name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and the heavens.

Surely thou settest them in slippery places: Thou castest them down to destruction.

I have seen the wicked in great power, And spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.

Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with thee, Which frameth mischief by statute?

As for the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the ways of the violent.

Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: Thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.

He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a servant:

But God is the judge: He putteth down one, and lifteth up another.

Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him, That glory may dwell in our land.

But thou hast cast off and rejected, Thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.

For Jehovah hath chosen Jacob unto himself, And Israel for his own possession.

Jehovah is God, and he hath given us light: Bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.

The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked;

O Jehovah of hosts, Blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.

Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; Let thine eyes look upon equity.

Like the dew of Hermon, That cometh down upon the mountains of Zion: For there Jehovah commanded the blessing, Even life for evermore.

Thou art the God that doest wonders: Thou hast made known thy strength among the peoples.

Do thou unto them as unto Midian, As to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon;

Great deliverance giveth he to his king, And showeth lovingkindness to his anointed, To David and to his seed, for evermore.

Truth springeth out of the earth; And righteousness hath looked down from heaven.

He delivered me from my strong enemy, And from them that hated me; for they were too mighty for me.

God is gone up with a shout, Jehovah with the sound of a trumpet.

Who covereth the heavens with clouds, Who prepareth rain for the earth, Who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.

They made a calf in Horeb, And worshipped a molten image.

He will come down like rain upon the mown grass, As showers that water the earth.

They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, So that it went ill with Moses for their sakes;

My mouth shall tell of thy righteousness, And of thy salvation all the day; For I know not the numbers thereof .

Every one of them is gone back; they are together become filthy; There is none that doeth good, no, not one.

For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, That his iniquity will not be found out and be hated.

Through God we shall do valiantly; For he it is that will tread down our adversaries.

I will take no bullock out of thy house, Nor he-goats out of thy folds.

For thou shalt eat the labor of thy hands: Happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

Every day will I bless thee; And I will praise thy name for ever and ever.

But thou, O Jehovah, wilt abide for ever; And thy memorial name unto all generations.

He would feed them also with the finest of the wheat; And with honey out of the rock would I satisfy thee.

And in thy majesty ride on prosperously, Because of truth and meekness and righteousness: And thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.

I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation; I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great assembly.

Show us thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, And grant us thy salvation.

The floods have lifted up, O Jehovah, The floods have lifted up their voice; The floods lift up their waves.

Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: In the balances they will go up; They are together lighter than vanity.

He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him; He also will hear their cry and will save them.

They that trust in their wealth, And boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;

They that sing as well as they that dance'shall say , All my fountains are in thee.

I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.

Lord, all my desire is before thee; And my groaning is not hid from thee.

Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee; And let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.

Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, When the glory of his house is increased.

Unless thy law had been my delight, I should then have perished in mine affliction.

His mouth was smooth as butter, But his heart was war: His words were softer than oil, Yet were they drawn swords.

My lovingkindness will I keep for him for evermore; And my covenant shall stand fast with him.

My mouth shall be filled with thy praise, And with thy honor all the day.

Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? Arise, cast us not off for ever.

Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, Which thou swarest unto David in thy faithfulness?

O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, When thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah

My heart was hot within me; While I was musing the fire burned: Then'spake I with my tongue:

He shall receive a blessing from Jehovah, And righteousness from the God of his salvation.

For such as are blessed of him shall inherit the land; And they that are cursed of him shall be cut off.

From men by thy hand, O Jehovah, From men of the world, whose portion is in this life, And whose belly thou fillest with thy treasure: They are satisfied with children, And leave the rest of their substance to their babes.

Thou wilt make them as a fiery furnace in the time of thine anger: Jehovah will swallow them up in his wrath, And the fire shall devour them.

O Jehovah, truly I am thy servant: I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid; Thou hast loosed my bonds.

Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: Depart from me therefore, ye bloodthirsty men.

I anticipated the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy words.

For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: We bring our years to an end as a sigh.

(For the redemption of their life is costly, And it faileth for ever;)

But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O Jehovah, in an acceptable time: O God, in the abundance of thy lovingkindness, Answer me in the truth of thy salvation.

Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; Thou hast scattered thine enemies with the arm of thy strength.

Jehovah of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah

Unless Jehovah had been my help, My soul had soon dwelt in silence.

Be thou exalted, O Jehovah, in thy strength: So will we sing and praise thy power.

Thou art nigh, O Jehovah; And all thy commandments are truth.

There is no king saved by the multitude of a host: A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.

All the earth shall worship thee, And shall sing unto thee; They shall sing to thy name. Selah

Of old have I known from thy testimonies, That thou hast founded them for ever.

Man that is in honor, and understandeth not, Is like the beasts that perish.

For innumerable evils have compassed me about; Mine iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up; They are more than the hairs of my head; And my heart hath failed me.

Thy testimonies are very sure: Holiness becometh thy house, O Jehovah, for evermore.

Jehovah hath chastened me sore; But he hath not given me over unto death.

For thou hast delivered my soul from death: Hast thou not delivered my feet from falling, That I may walk before God In the light of the living?

I will lift up my hands also unto thy commandments, which I have loved; And I will meditate on thy statutes.

He will judge thy people with righteousness, And thy poor with justice.

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

But I, as a deaf man, hear not; And I am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.

I am become also a reproach unto them: When they see me, they shake their head.

Who knoweth the power of thine anger, And thy wrath according to the fear that is due unto thee?

There were they in great fear; For God is in the generation of the righteous.

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.

Make haste to answer me, O Jehovah; my spirit faileth: Hide not thy face from me, Lest I become like them that go down into the pit.

Thou art good, and doest good; Teach me thy statutes.

For my soul is full of troubles, And my life draweth nigh unto Sheol.

Let sinners be consumed out of the earth. And let the wicked be no more. Bless Jehovah, O my soul. Praise ye Jehovah.

For all this they sinned still, And believed not in his wondrous works.

Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah

There shall be abundance of grain 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.

God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God will help her, and that right early.

So that men shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: Verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth.

And he will make thy righteousness to go forth as the light, And thy justice as the noon-day.

Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, And save me from the bloodthirsty men.

For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.

It is like the precious oil upon the head, That ran down upon the beard, Even Aaron's beard; That came down upon the skirt of his garments;

For he shall never be moved; The righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance.

And they turned again and tempted God, And provoked the Holy One of Israel.

Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; And thy paths drop fatness.

To show forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, And thy faithfulness every night,

But I am poor and needy; Make haste unto me, O God: Thou art my help and my deliverer; O Jehovah, make no tarrying.

Sing forth the glory of his name: Make his praise glorious.

Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: Build thou the walls of Jerusalem.

I will give thee thanks for ever, because thou hast done it; And I will hope in thy name, for it is good, in the presence of thy saints.

And the daughter of Tyre'shall be there with a gift; The rich among the people shall entreat thy favor.

He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: He taketh no pleasure in the legs of a man.

For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, And wither as the green herb.

The trees of Jehovah are filled with moisture , The cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;

Oh that my people would hearken unto me, That Israel would walk in my ways!

The Lord at thy right hand Will strike through kings in the day of his wrath.

I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the peoples: I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.

The voice of Jehovah maketh the hinds to calve, And strippeth the forests bare: And in his temple everything saith, Glory.

Whoso is wise will give heed to these things; And they will consider the lovingkindnesses of Jehovah.

Ascribe unto Jehovah, ye kindreds of the peoples, Ascribe unto Jehovah glory and strength.

The law of his God is in his heart; None of his steps shall slide.

Let thy hand be ready to help me; For I have chosen thy precepts.

They know not, neither do they understand; They walk to and fro in darkness: All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

Wherefore hidest thou thy face, And forgettest our affliction and our oppression?

He turneth rivers into a wilderness, And watersprings into a thirsty ground;

There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine indignation; Neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.

So shall I observe thy law continually For ever and ever.

They did not destroy the peoples, As Jehovah commanded them,

Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: They shall not be put to shame, When they speak with their enemies in the gate.

Jehovah doth build up Jerusalem; He gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.

I will meditate also upon all thy work, And muse on thy doings.

Mine eyes anticipated the night-watches, That I might meditate on thy word.

Jehovah is their strength, And he is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.

Thou hast commanded us thy precepts, That we should observe them diligently.

The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I have set up the pillars of it. Selah

Blessed are ye of Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth.

I will give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah, among the peoples; And I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.

In Salem also is his tabernacle, And his dwelling-place in Zion.

Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: In the morning they are like grass which groweth up.

Thy tongue deviseth very wickedness, Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

Let thy meditation be sweet unto him: I will rejoice in Jehovah.

Let them praise thy great and terrible name: Holy is he.

Thy seed will I establish for ever, And build up thy throne to all generations. Selah

Thy way was in the sea, And thy paths in the great waters, And thy footsteps were not known.

For our heart shall rejoice in him, Because we have trusted in his holy name.

I hate the assembly of evil-doers, And will not sit with the wicked.

Forty years long was I grieved with that generation, And said, It is a people that do err in their heart, And they have not known my ways:

My mouth shall speak the praise of Jehovah; And let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.

Turn us again, O God of hosts; And cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.

When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, Thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: Surely every man is vanity. Selah

For in thee, O Jehovah, do I hope: Thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.

And I will delight myself in thy commandments, Which I have loved.

The meek have seen it, and are glad: Ye that seek after God, let your heart live.

Lord, how long wilt thou look on? Rescue my soul from their destructions, My darling from the lions.

Let me not be put to shame, O Jehovah; for I have called upon thee: Let the wicked be put to shame, let them be silent in Sheol.

I will wash my hands in innocency: So will I compass thine altar, O Jehovah;

That the generation to come might know them , even the children that should be born; Who should arise and tell them to their children,

Streams of water run down mine eyes, Because they observe not thy law.

Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment; And so the plague was stayed.

Blessed are they that keep justice, And he that doeth righteousness at all times.

So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture Will give thee thanks for ever: We will show forth thy praise to all generations.

Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, In the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.

For thou hast been a refuge for me, A strong tower from the enemy.

Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake right early.

Let the floods clap their hands; Let the hills sing for joy together

She shall be led unto the king in broidered work: The virgins her companions that follow her Shall be brought unto thee.

I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart; And my spirit maketh diligent search.

Look on my right hand, and see; For there is no man that knoweth me: Refuge hath failed me; No man careth for my soul.

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

Oh that my ways were established To observe thy statutes!

His seed also will I make to endure for ever, And his throne as the days of heaven.

Wilt thou show wonders to the dead? Shall they that are decreased arise and praise thee? Selah

Yet he commanded the skies above, And opened the doors of heaven;

Jehovah loveth the gates of Zion More than all the dwellings of Jacob.

And they remembered that God was their rock, And the Most High God their redeemer.

For I have heard the defaming of many, Terror on every side: While they took counsel together against me, They devised to take away my life.

We see not our signs: There is no more any prophet; Neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.

Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, Thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.

He sendeth out his commandment upon earth; His word runneth very swiftly.

Thou didst drive out the nations with thy hand; But them thou didst plant: Thou didst afflict the peoples; But them thou didst spread abroad.

They came upon me in the day of my calamity; But Jehovah was my stay.

My heart is sore pained within me: And the terrors of death are fallen upon me.

And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, And declare his works with singing.

But deal thou with me, O Jehovah the Lord, for thy name's sake: Because thy lovingkindness is good, deliver thou me;

For thy lovingkindness is great above the heavens; And thy truth reacheth unto the skies.

My soul waiteth for the Lord More than watchmen wait for the morning; Yea, more than watchmen for the morning.

Bring my soul out of prison, That I may give thanks unto thy name: The righteous shall compass me about; For thou wilt deal bountifully with me.

Yea, they do no unrighteousness; They walk in his ways.

He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: Jehovah is gracious and merciful.

Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting even to everlasting. And let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye Jehovah.

When the wicked spring as the grass, And when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; It is that they shall be destroyed for ever.

In the day-time also he led them with a cloud, And all the night with a light of fire.

For Jehovah hath built up Zion; He hath appeared in his glory.

For the pestilence that walketh in darkness, Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

We have sinned with our fathers, We have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.

For he shall see it. Wise men die; The fool and the brutish alike perish, And leave their wealth to others.

I will also praise thee with the psaltery, Even thy truth, O my God: Unto thee will I sing praises with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.

Jehovah is great in Zion; And he is high above all the peoples.

Praise him with loud cymbals: Praise him with high sounding cymbals.

Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? Or thy faithfulness in Destruction?

His seed shall be mighty upon earth: The generation of the upright shall be blessed.

I will give thanks unto thee; for thou hast answered me, And art become my salvation.

There were they in great fear, where no fear was; For God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: Thou hast put them to shame, because of God hath rejected them.

In God have we made our boast all the day long, And we will give thanks unto thy name for ever. Selah

As for me, I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: Nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications When I cried unto thee.

Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; Lest mine adversaries rejoice when I am moved.

The young lions roar after their prey, And seek their food from God.

Wealth and riches are in his house; And his righteousness endureth for ever.

My soul is among lions; I lie among them that are set on fire, Even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword.

For thou, Jehovah, art most high above all the earth: Thou art exalted far above all gods.

Thy statutes have been my songs In the house of my pilgrimage.

As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together; The end of the wicked shall be cut off.

The Lord will laugh at him; For he seeth that his day is coming.

The troubles of my heart are enlarged: Oh bring thou me out of my distresses.

The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous: The right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly.

But mingled themselves with the nations, And learned their works,

Sing unto him, sing praises unto him; Talk ye of all his marvelous works.

The heavens declare his righteousness, And all the peoples have seen his glory.

Thy name, O Jehovah, endureth for ever; Thy memorial name , O Jehovah, throughout all generations.

Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: Save me in thy lovingkindness.

Evil shall slay the wicked; And they that hate the righteous shall be condemned.

Give ear, O Jehovah, unto my prayer; And hearken unto the voice of my supplications.

O ye seed of Abraham his servant, Ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.

Above the voices of many waters, The mighty breakers of the sea, Jehovah on high is mighty.

Praise ye Jehovah; for Jehovah is good: Sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.

How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou be angry for ever? Shall thy jealousy burn like fire?

In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: My hand was stretched out in the night, and slacked not; My soul refused to be comforted.

O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: The God of Israel, he giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God.

From the place of his habitation he looketh forth Upon all the inhabitants of the earth,

I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord Jehovah: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.

They have ears, but they hear not; Noses have they, but they smell not;

Until I went into the sanctuary of God, And considered their latter end.

Thy take crafty counsel against thy people, And consult together against thy hidden ones.

It is time for Jehovah to work; For they have made void thy law.

The earth hath yielded its increase: God, even our own God, will bless us.

The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved: He uttered his voice, the earth melted.

Because of his strength I will give heed unto thee; For God is my high tower.

Attend unto me, and answer me: I am restless in my complaint, and moan,

Thou art my King, O God: Command deliverance for Jacob.

He giveth to the beast his food, And to the young ravens which cry.

(The mountains rose, the valleys sank down) Unto the place which thou hadst founded for them.

He hath given food unto them that fear him: He will ever be mindful of his covenant.

Who made heaven and earth, The sea, and all that in them is; Who keepeth truth for ever;

And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; For I have hoped in thine ordinances.

With trumpets and sound of cornet Make a joyful noise before the King, Jehovah.

Moses and Aaron among his priests, And Samuel among them that call upon his name; They called upon Jehovah, and he answered them.

Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.

Thy God hath commanded thy strength: Strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.

Oh spare me, that I may recover strength, Before I go hence, and be no more.

And served their idols, Which became a snare unto them.

Neither do they that go by say, The blessing of Jehovah be upon you; We bless you in the name of Jehovah.

Then shall I not be put to shame, When I have respect unto all thy commandments.

Jehovah hath been mindful of us; he will bless us : He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron.

Let the field exult, and all that is therein; Then shall all the trees of the wood sing for joy

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

They shall fear thee while the sun endureth, And so long as the moon, throughout all generations.

But I am poor and sorrowful: Let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.

Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: Let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.

My mouth shall speak wisdom; And the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.

He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap: He layeth up the deeps in store-houses.

Draw me not away with the wicked, And with the workers of iniquity; That speak peace with their neighbors, But mischief is in their hearts.

Oh give thanks unto the God of heaven; For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.

I will never forget thy precepts; For with them thou hast quickened me.

Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble, And he bringeth them out of their distresses.

There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.

Thou art my God, and I will give thanks unto thee: Thou art my God, I will exalt thee.

Iniquities prevail against me: As for our transgressions, thou wilt forgive them.

For thy lovingkindness is great unto the heavens, And thy truth unto the skies.

They shall not be put to shame in the time of evil; And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: Therefore shall the peoples give thee thanks for ever and ever.

Arise, O Jehovah, Confront him, cast him down: Deliver my soul from the wicked by thy sword;

Who giveth food to all flesh; For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.

Behold, O God our shield, And look upon the face of thine anointed.

And see if there be any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.

Man is like to vanity: His days are as a shadow that passeth away.

And thou hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy; Thou hast set my feet in a large place.

Let the peoples praise thee, O God; Let all the peoples praise thee.

Arise, O Jehovah, into thy resting-place; Thou, and the ark of thy strength.

That they might set their hope in God, And not forget the works of God, But keep his commandments,

They that sit in the gate talk of me; And I am the song of the drunkards.

I cried unto thee, O Jehovah; I said, Thou art my refuge, My portion in the land of the living.

Turn again our captivity, O Jehovah, As the streams in the South.

For our shield belongeth unto Jehovah; And our king to the Holy One of Israel.

The righteous shall be glad in Jehovah, and shall take refuge in him; And all the upright in heart shall glory.

Thou hast showed thy people hard things: Thou hast made us to drink the wine of staggering.

My heart throbbeth, my strength faileth me: As for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.

And my tongue shall talk of thy righteousness And of thy praise all the day long.

For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; From heaven did Jehovah behold the earth;

Which we have heard and known, And our fathers have told us.

Jerusalem, that art builded As a city that is compact together;

The mountains melted like wax at the presence of Jehovah, At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

When ye lie among the sheepfolds, It is as the wings of a dove covered with silver, And her pinions with yellow gold.

Walk about Zion, and go round about her; Number the towers thereof;

As is thy name, O God, So is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: Thy right hand is full of righteousness.

Rise up for our help, And redeem us for thy lovingkindness'sake.

If we have forgotten the name of our God, Or spread forth our hands to a strange god;

I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; Because thou didst it.

But thou, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me, and raise me up, That I may requite them.

He hath regarded the prayer of the destitute, And hath not despised their prayer.

I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, And will call upon the name of Jehovah.

He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: He that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes.

A brutish man knoweth not; Neither doth a fool understand this:

Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, Whom thou shalt make princes in all the earth.

My foot standeth in an even place: In the congregations will I bless Jehovah.
