It is time, O Lord, for you to let your work be seen; for they have made your law without effect.

Let my steps be guided by your word; and let not sin have control over me.

Before the sun is up, my cry for help comes to your ear; my hope is in your words.

Those whose hope is in the Lord are like the mountain of Zion, which may not be moved, but keeps its place for ever.

When the Lord made a change in Zion's fate, we were like men in a dream.

Praise be to the Lord out of Zion, even to the Lord whose house is in Jerusalem, Let the Lord be praised.

The sun to have rule by day: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.

By the rivers of Babylon we were seated, weeping at the memory of Zion,

For there those who had taken us prisoners made request for a song; and those who had taken away all we had gave us orders to be glad, saying, Give us one of the songs of Zion.

Put not your faith in rulers, or in the son of man, in whom there is no salvation.

The Lord will be King for ever; your God, O Zion, will be King through all generations. Praise be to the Lord.

Give praise to the Lord, O Jerusalem; give praise to your God, O Zion.

He gives snow like wool; he sends out ice-drops like dust.

Give praise to him, you sun and moon: give praise to him, all you stars of light.

Fire and rain of ice, snow and mists; storm-wind, doing his word:

Let Israel have joy in his maker; let the children of Zion be glad in their King.
