The LORD hath said, "I will bring my people again, as I did from Bashan; mine own will I bring again, as I did sometimes from the deep of the sea,

That thou mayest bathe thy foot in blood, - The tongue of thy dogs, from the foes, hath its portion.

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

Rebuke the wild beast of the reeds, The multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the peoples, Trampling under foot the pieces of silver: He hath scattered the peoples that delight in war.

I have sunk in deep mire, And there is no standing, I have come into the depths of the waters, And a flood hath overflown me.

I have been wearied with my calling, Burnt hath been my throat, Consumed have been mine eyes, waiting for my God.

They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.

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

For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.

When I have humbled my soul with fasting, Then hath it turned to my reproach;

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.

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.

This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs.

For Jehovah hearkeneth unto the needy, And His bound ones He hath not despised.

Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him.

For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.

He hath pity on the poor and needy, And the souls of the needy he saveth,

Therefore hath pride encircled them, Violence covereth them as a dress.

Their eye hath come out from fat. The imaginations of the heart transgressed;

And they have said, 'How hath God known? And is there knowledge in the Most High?'

Consumed hath been my flesh and my heart, The rock of my heart and my portion is God to the age.

Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.

But, God, hath been my king from aforetime, Working Deliverances in the midst of the earth.

Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.

Forget not the voice of thine enemies; for the presumption of them that hate thee, increaseth ever more and more.

For a cup is in the hand of Jehovah, And the wine hath foamed, It is full of mixture, and He poureth out of it, Only its dregs wring out, and drink, Do all the wicked of the earth,

Now hath come into Salem, his pavilion, And his dwelling-place into Zion.

There he hath shivered arrows of a bow, Shield, and sword, and battle. Selah.

From heaven Thou hast sounded judgment, Earth hath feared, and hath been still,

To the Overseer, for Jeduthun. -- A Psalm of Asaph. My voice is to God, and I cry, my voice is to God, And He hath given ear unto me.

In a day of my distress the Lord I sought, My hand by night hath been spread out, And it doth not cease, My soul hath refused to be comforted.

Hath His kindness ceased for ever? The saying failed to all generations?

Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.

The voice of Thy thunder is in the spheres, Lightnings have lightened the world, The earth hath trembled, yea, it shaketh.

We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.

And He raiseth up a testimony in Jacob, And a law hath placed in Israel, That He commanded our fathers, To make them known to their sons.

And they are not like their fathers, A generation apostate and rebellious, A generation! it hath not prepared its heart, Nor stedfast with God is its spirit.

Before their fathers He hath done wonders, In the land of Egypt -- the field of Zoan.

Lo, He hath smitten a rock, And waters flow, yea, streams overflow. 'Also -- bread is He able to give? Doth He prepare flesh for His people?'

Therefore hath Jehovah heard, And He sheweth Himself wroth, And fire hath been kindled against Jacob, And anger also hath gone up against Israel,

And He commandeth clouds from above, Yea, doors of the heavens He hath opened.

And He raineth on them manna to eat, Yea, corn of heaven He hath given to them.

Food of the mighty hath each eaten, Venison He sent to them to satiety.

And the anger of God hath gone up against them, And He slayeth among their fat ones, And youths of Israel He caused to bend.

And their heart hath not been right with Him, And they have not been stedfast in His covenant.

And He -- the Merciful One, Pardoneth iniquity, and destroyeth not, And hath often turned back His anger, And waketh not up all His fury.

And He leadeth them confidently, And they have not been afraid, And their enemies hath the sea covered.

God hath heard, and sheweth Himself wroth. And kicketh exceedingly against Israel.

His young men hath fire consumed, And His virgins have not been praised.

And He smiteth His adversaries backward, A reproach age-during He hath put on them,

And He kicketh against the tent of Joseph, And on the tribe of Ephraim hath not fixed.

And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he hath established for ever.

From behind suckling ones He hath brought him in, To rule over Jacob His people, And over Israel His inheritance.

For one hath devoured Jacob, And his habitation they have made desolate.

Wherefore should the nations say - Where is their God? Let him be known among the nations before our eyes! Yea! By the avenging of the blood of thy servants which hath been shed!

The wild boar out of the wood hath rooted it up, and the beasts of the field have devoured it.

And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.

A testimony on Joseph He hath placed it, In his going forth over the land of Egypt. A lip, I have not known -- I hear.

But, My people hearkened not to My voice, And Israel hath not consented to Me.

Those who hate the Lord
would pretend submission to Him;
their doom would last forever.

-- A Psalm of Asaph. God hath stood in the company of God, In the midst God doth judge.

See how Your enemies make an uproar;
those who hate You have acted arrogantly.

Even Assyria hath joined herself with them, They have become an arm to the sons of Lot. Selah.

My soul desired, yea, it hath also been consumed, For the courts of Jehovah, My heart and my flesh cry aloud unto the living God,

Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.

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

Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.

For my soul hath been full of evils, And my life hath come to Sheol.

I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:

Upon me hath Thy fury lain, And with all Thy breakers Thou hast afflicted. Selah.

Mine eye hath grieved because of affliction, I called Thee, O Jehovah, all the day, I have spread out unto Thee my hands.

Over me hath Thy wrath passed, Thy terrors have cut me off,

I will crush his foes before him
and strike those who hate him.

Age-abidingly, will I keep for him my lovingkindness, And, my covenant, hath been made steadfast for him;

My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that hath gone out of my lips.

Like the moon, shall it be established unto times age-abiding, And, a witness, in the skies, hath been made sure. Selah.

Spoiled him have all passing by the way, He hath been a reproach to his neighbours,

In the morning it flourisheth, and hath changed, At evening it is cut down, and hath withered.

Days of our years, in them are seventy years, And if, by reason of might, eighty years, Yet is their enlargement labour and vanity, For it hath been cut off hastily, and we fly away.

How to number our days, so grant us to know, That we may win us a heart that hath wisdom.

Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

For thou hat made me glad, O Yahweh, in thy doing, In the works of thy hands, will I shout for joy.

Mine eye also hath seen my desire on mine enemies, Mine ears have heard my desire of the evil-doers that rise up against me.

The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.

Established hath been thy throne from of old, From age-past times, thou art.

If I have said, 'My foot hath slipped,' Thy kindness, O Jehovah, supporteth me.

But Jehovah hath been my high tower, And my God the rock of my refuge.

And he hath brought upon them their own iniquity, And will cut them off in their own wickedness; Jehovah our God will cut them off.

Say among nations, 'Jehovah hath reigned, Also -- established is the world, unmoved, He judgeth the peoples in uprightness.'

Before Jehovah, for He hath come, For He hath come to judge the earth. He judgeth the world in righteousness, And the peoples in His faithfulness!

Jehovah hath reigned, The earth is joyful, many isles rejoice.

Lightened have His lightnings the world, The earth hath seen, and is pained.

Zion hath heard and rejoiceth, And daughters of Judah are joyful, Because of Thy judgments, O Jehovah.

You who love the Lord, hate evil!
He protects the lives of His godly ones;
He rescues them from the power of the wicked.

{A Psalm.} O sing unto the LORD a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory.

The LORD hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen.

He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

Before Jehovah, For He hath come to judge the earth, He judgeth the world in righteousness, And the people in uprightness!

Jehovah hath reigned, peoples tremble, The Inhabitant of the cherubs, the earth shaketh.

And the strength of the king Hath loved judgment, Thou -- Thou hast established uprightness; Judgment and righteousness in Jacob, Thou -- Thou hast done.
