In a pillar of cloud He speaketh unto them, They have kept His testimonies, And the statute He hath given to them.

Be ye sure, that the LORD he is God; it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves. We are but his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

I will take no wicked thing in hand. I hate the sin of unfaithfulness; it shall not cleave unto me.

Who so privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I destroy. Whoso hath also a proud look and high stomach, I will not suffer him.

From the voice of my sighing Hath my bone cleaved to my flesh.

Thou -- Thou risest -- Thou pitiest Zion, For the time to favour her, For the appointed time hath come.

For Jehovah hath builded Zion, He hath been seen in His honour,

He turned unto the prayer of the destitute, And He hath not despised their prayer.

For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth;

He hath brought down my strength in my journey, and shortened my days.

He hath not dealt with us after our sins, nor rewarded us according to our wickedness.

For, as the height of the heavens is above the earth, His kindness hath been mighty over those fearing Him.

Look how wide the east is from the west, so far hath he set our sins from us.

As a father hath mercy on sons, Jehovah hath mercy on those fearing Him.

For He hath known our frame, Remembering that we are dust.

For a wind hath passed over it, and it is not, And its place doth not discern it any more.

The LORD hath prepared his seat in heaven, and his kingdom ruleth over all.

He hath founded earth on its bases, It is not moved to the age and for ever.

The trees of the LORD also are full of sap, even the cedars of Lebanon which he hath planted,

Where the birds build their nests, The stork, in the fir-trees, hath her house;

He made the moon for seasons, The sun hath known his place of entrance.

O give thanks unto the LORD, and call upon his name; tell the people what things he hath done.

Remember the marvelous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth.

He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.

That He hath made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac,

He hath not suffered any to oppress them And He reproveth for their sakes kings.

And He calleth a famine on the land, The whole staff of bread He hath broken.

He hath sent before them a man, For a servant hath Joseph been sold.

They have afflicted with fetters his feet, Iron hath entered his soul,

Till the time of the coming of His word The saying of Jehovah hath tried him.

The king hath sent, and looseth him, The ruler of the peoples, and draweth him out.

He hath made him lord of his house, And ruler over all his possessions.

And Israel cometh in to Egypt, And Jacob hath sojourned in the land of Ham.

He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.

He hath sent Moses His servant, Aaron whom He had fixed on.

He hath sent darkness, and it is dark, And they have not provoked His word.

He hath turned their waters to blood, And putteth to death their fish.

Teemed hath their land with frogs, In the inner chambers of their kings.

He hath said, and the beetle cometh, Lice into all their border.

He hath made their showers hail, A flaming fire is in their land.

He hath said, and the locust cometh, And the cankerworm -- innumerable,

Rejoiced hath Egypt in their going forth, For their fear had fallen upon them.

He hath spread a cloud for a covering, And fire to enlighten the night.

He hath opened a rock, and waters issue, They have gone on in dry places -- a river.

For He hath remembered His holy word, With Abraham His servant,

And waters cover their adversaries, One of them hath not been left.

Let them give thanks whom the LORD hath redeemed, and delivered from the hand of the enemy,

And from the lands hath gathered them, From east and from west, From north, and from the sea.

For He hath satisfied a longing soul, And a hungry soul hath filled with goodness.

For he hath broken the gates of brass, and smitten the bars of iron in sunder.

And hath caused the famished to dwell there, And they have built them a city to dwell in;

Thus hath he blessed them, and they have multiplied greatly, And, their cattle, he maketh not few.

But he hath set the needy on high from affliction, and made families, like a flock: -

The upright do see and rejoice, And all perversity hath shut her mouth.

God hath spoken in his sanctuary, "I will rejoice therefore, and divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

Who doth bring me in to the fenced city? Who hath led me unto Edom?

They surround me with hate-filled words, attacking me for no reason.

For my love they give me back hate; but I have given myself to prayer.

They repay me evil for good, and hate for love.

Let the extortioner consume all that he hath; and let stranger spoil his labour.

He hath none to extend kindness, Nor is there one showing favour to his orphans.

Because that he hath not remembered to do kindness, And pursueth the poor man and needy, And the smitten of heart -- to slay,

And he loveth reviling, and it meeteth him, And he hath not delighted in blessing, And it is far from him.

Let it be unto him as the cloak that he hath on him, and as the girdle that he is girded withal.

For I am poor and needy, And my heart hath been pierced in my midst.

My knees have been feeble from fasting, And my flesh hath failed of fatness.

The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

My Lord, on thy right hand, - hath shattered - in the day of his anger - kings;

He doth judge among the nations, He hath completed the carcases, Hath smitten the head over the mighty earth.

The merciful and gracious LORD hath so done his marvelous works, that they ought to be had in remembrance.

He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.

He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.

He sent redemption unto his people; he hath commanded his covenant forever. Holy and reverent is his name.

{Praise the Everlasting} Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, and hath great delight in his commandments.

Light hath risen in darkness to the upright, Gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

He hath dispersed abroad, and given to the poor, his righteousness remaineth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honor.

The wicked seeth, and hath been angry, His teeth he gnasheth, and hath melted, The desire of the wicked doth perish!

Who is like unto the LORD our God, that hath his dwelling so high;

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

But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.

The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.

All the whole heavens are the LORD's; but the earth hath he given unto the children of men.

I am well pleased, that the LORD hath heard the voice of my prayer,

that he hath inclined his ear unto me; therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.

Turn again then unto thy rest, O my soul, for the LORD hath given thee thy desire.

What reward shall I give unto the LORD, for all the benefits that he hath done unto me?

For mighty to us hath been His kindness, And the truth of Jehovah is to the age. Praise ye Jah!

The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.

Thou hast sorely thrust me to fall, And Jehovah hath helped me.

My might and melody, is Yah, and he hath become mine by salvation.

The righthand of the LORD hath the preeminence; the righthand of the LORD hath gotten the victory.

The LORD hath chastened and corrected me; but he hath not given me over unto death.

A stone the builders refused Hath become head of a corner.

From Jehovah hath this been, It is wonderful in our eyes,

This is the day which the LORD hath made! Let us rejoice and be glad in it!

God is the LORD, and hath showed us light; O garnish the solemn feast with green branches, even unto the horns of the altar.

My soul breaketh out for the very fervent desire that it hath always unto thy judgments.

Daleth. Cleaved to the dust hath my soul, Quicken me according to Thy word.

My soul hath dropped from affliction, Establish me according to Thy word.

The same is my comfort in my trouble, for thy word hath quickened me.
