A Song of the Ascents. Lo, bless Jehovah, all servants of Jehovah, Who are standing in the house of Jehovah by night.
Till when do I set counsels in my soul? Sorrow in my heart daily? Till when is mine enemy exalted over me?
I have known, O Jehovah, That righteous are Thy judgments, And in faithfulness Thou hast afflicted me.
My God, in Thee I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed, Let not mine enemies exult over me.
A Song of the Ascents, by David. Save for Jehovah -- who hath been for us, (Pray, let Israel say),
The rod of thy strength doth Jehovah send from Zion, Rule in the midst of thine enemies.
I pursue mine enemies, and overtake them, And turn back not till they are consumed.
Thine is the day, also Thine is the night, Thou hast prepared a light giver -- the sun.
Save Thy people, and bless Thine inheritance, And feed them, and carry them to the age!
God Himself is to us a God for deliverances, And Jehovah Lord hath the outgoings of death.
But the wicked perish, and the enemies of Jehovah, As the preciousness of lambs, Have been consumed, In smoke they have been consumed.
I -- I called Thee, for Thou dost answer me, O God, incline Thine ear to me, hear my speech.
I confess Thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I honour Thy name to the age.
And He inclineth the heavens, and cometh down, And thick darkness is under His feet.
As sheep for Sheol they have set themselves, Death doth afflict them, And the upright rule over them in the morning, And their form is for consumption. Sheol is a dwelling for him.
(Even a sparrow hath found a house, And a swallow a nest for herself, Where she hath placed her brood,) Thine altars, O Jehovah of Hosts, My king and my God.
He hath not slandered by his tongue, He hath not done to his friend evil; And reproach he hath not lifted up Against his neighbour.
Thou hast wrought for those trusting in Thee, Before sons of men. Thou hidest them in the secret place of Thy presence, From artifices of man, Thou concealest them in a tabernacle, From the strife of tongues.
These I remember, and pour out my soul in me, For I pass over into the booth, I go softly with them unto the house of God, With the voice of singing and confession, The multitude keeping feast!
Then filled with laughter is our mouth, And our tongue with singing, Then do they say among nations, 'Jehovah did great things with these.'
Therefore all my appointments I have declared wholly right, Every path of falsehood I have hated!
My lovers and my friends over-against my plague stand. And my neighbours afar off have stood.
I have hated the observers of lying vanities, And I toward Jehovah have been confident.
Compassed me have cords of death, And straits of Sheol have found me, Distress and sorrow I find.
Trust not in oppression, And in robbery become not vain, Wealth -- when it increaseth -- set not the heart.
Separate wonderfully Thy kindness, O Saviour of the confiding, By Thy right hand, from withstanders.
Mine eyes have been consumed for Thy salvation. And for the saying of Thy righteousness.
Gone up hath smoke by His nostrils, And fire from His mouth consumeth, Coals have been kindled by it.
I mention Rahab and Babel to those knowing Me, Lo, Philistia, and Tyre, with Cush! This one was born there.
Hear, O My people, and I speak, O Israel, and I testify against thee, God, thy God am I.
And bringeth them out with silver and gold, And there is not in its tribes a feeble one.
Jehovah is preserving the strangers, The fatherless and widow He causeth to stand, And the way of the wicked He turneth upside down.
Thine are the heavens -- the earth also is Thine, The habitable world and its fulness, Thou hast founded them.
For Thy kindness is great toward me, And Thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.
My tear hath been to me bread day and night, In their saying unto me all the day, 'Where is thy God?'
Though a host doth encamp against me, My heart doth not fear, Though war riseth up against me, In this I am confident.
Only, in an image doth each walk habitually, Only, in vain, they are disquieted, He heapeth up and knoweth not who gathereth them.
There is none like Thee among the gods, O Lord, And like Thy works there are none.
Who is the man that liveth, and doth not see death? He delivereth his soul from the hand of Sheol. Selah.
The memorial of the abundance of Thy goodness they send forth. And Thy righteousness they sing.
