Zain. Remember the word to Thy servant, On which Thou hast caused me to hope.

Of all perfection I have seen an end, Broad is Thy command -- exceedingly!

I have seen treacherous ones, And grieve myself, Because Thy saying they have not kept.

By day the sun doth not smite thee, Nor the moon by night.

A Song of the Ascents. Those trusting in Jehovah are as Mount Zion, It is not moved -- to the age it abideth.

A Song of the Ascents. In Jehovah's turning back to the captivity of Zion, We have been as dreamers.

Jehovah doth bless thee out of Zion, Look, then, on the good of Jerusalem, All the days of thy life,

Confounded and turn backward do all hating Zion.

For Jehovah hath fixed on Zion, He hath desired it for a seat to Himself,

As dew of Hermon -- That cometh down on hills of Zion, For there Jehovah commanded the blessing -- Life unto the age!

Jehovah doth bless thee out of Zion, The maker of the heavens and earth!

Blessed is Jehovah from Zion, Inhabiting Jerusalem -- praise ye Jah!

The sun to rule by day, For to the age is His kindness.

By rivers of Babylon -- There we did sit, Yea, we wept when we remembered Zion.

For there our captors asked us the words of a song, And our spoilers -- joy: 'Sing ye to us of a song of Zion.'

Jehovah, what is man that Thou knowest him? Son of man, that Thou esteemest him?

Trust not in princes -- in a son of man, For he hath no deliverance.

Jehovah doth reign to the age, Thy God, O Zion, to generation and generation, Praise ye Jah!

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

Who is giving snow like wool, Hoar-frost as ashes He scattereth.

Praise ye Him, sun and moon, Praise ye Him, all stars of light.

Fire and hail, snow and vapour, Whirlwind doing His word;

Israel doth rejoice in his Maker, Sons of Zion do joy in their king.
