He suffered no son of earth to oppress them, And reproved - for their sakes - even kings!

He let his signs be seen among the people, and his wonders in the land of Ham.

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

He rescued them many times,
but they continued to rebel deliberately
and were beaten down by their sin.

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

and a fruitful land into a barren place, because of the sin of its inhabitants.

And have sown fields, and planted vineyards, and made them fruits of increase:

When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.

Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.

The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.

From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD'S name is to be praised.

The sea hath seen, and fleeth, The Jordan turneth backward.

O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.

Happy are they who are without sin in their ways, walking in the law of the Lord.

Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

I reach out my hands for your commandments, which I love. I will meditate on your statutes. ZAYIN

ZAIN. Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.

I have seen, O Lord, that your decisions are right, and that in unchanging faith you have sent trouble on me.

I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad.

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

Make my steps steady through Your promise;
don’t let any sin dominate me.

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

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

All of your words are truth. Every one of your righteous ordinances endures forever. SIN AND SHIN

/ (Sin/Shin) Rulers pursue me for no reason, yet I am more afraid of disobeying your instructions.

I will lift up my eyes to the hills [of Jerusalem]—
From where shall my help come?

The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

{A Song of degrees.} They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.

{A Song of degrees.} When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.

The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

Yea, see thou thy son's sons. Peace be upon Israel.

Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.

For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.

As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

The LORD that made heaven and earth bless thee out of Zion.

Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.

The sun to rule by day: for his mercy endureth for ever:

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.

For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.

O daughter Babylon, soon to be devastated! How blessed will be the one who repays you for what you dished out to us!

Your eyes have seen my unformed substance;
And in Your book were all written
The days that were ordained for me,
When as yet there was not one of them.

Do not let my heart turn to any evil thing
or perform wicked acts
with men who commit sin.
Do not let me feast on their delicacies.

Hear me, O LORD, and that soon, for my spirit waxeth faint; hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the grave.

LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him!

Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.

Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.

He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes.

He sends out His word and melts the ice;
He causes His wind to blow and the waters to flow.

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

Fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling his word:

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