and has gathered them from the lands—
from the east and the west,
from the north and the south.

Let them give thanks to the Lord for his loyal love, and for the amazing things he has done for people!

He has satisfied the one who thirsts, filling the hungry with what is good.

Let them give thanks to the Lord for his loyal love, and for the amazing things he has done for people!

For He has shattered the gates of bronze
And cut the bars of iron apart.

Let them give thanks to the Lord for his loyal love, and for the amazing things he has done for people!

Let them present thank offerings, and loudly proclaim what he has done!

They staggered and trembled like a drunken man,
And were at their wits’ end [all their wisdom was useless].

Let them give thanks to the Lord for his loyal love, and for the amazing things he has done for people!

God has spoken in His holiness:
“I will rejoice, I will portion out Shechem [as I divide Canaan among My people],
And measure out the Valley of Succoth.

Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who has led me to Edom?

Shalt not thou do it, O God which hast cast us out? And wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?

For the mouth of the sinner is open against me in deceit: his tongue has said false things against me.

May creditors seize all his possessions, and may foreigners loot the property he has acquired.

He loved to curse others, so those curses have come upon him. He had no desire to bless anyone, so he has experienced no blessings.

He put on cursing like a robe, and it has come into his body like water, and into his bones like oil.

My knees are unsteady from fasting;
And my flesh is gaunt and without fatness.

and they shall know how that this is thy hand, and that thou, LORD, hast done it.

Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.

The Lord has sworn [an oath] and will not change His mind:
“You are a priest forever
According to the order of Melchizedek.”

He has made His wonderful acts to be remembered;
The Lord is gracious and merciful and full of loving compassion.

He has given food to those who fear Him [with awe-inspired reverence];
He will remember His covenant forever.

He has declared and made known to His people the power of His works,
In giving them the heritage of the nations.

He has sent redemption to His people;
He has ordained His covenant forever;
Holy and awesome is His name—[inspiring reverence and godly fear].

Let the Lord be praised. Happy is the man who gives honour to the Lord, and has great delight in his laws.

His heart is secure, he has no fears; in the end he will look in triumph on his adversaries.

He has given freely to the poor;
His righteousness endures forever;
His horn will be exalted in honor.

Who is like the Lord our God,
Who is enthroned on high,

But our God is in heaven: he has done whatever was pleasing to him.

The Lord has been mindful of us; He will bless,
He will bless the house of Israel;
He will bless the house of Aaron.

The heavens belong to the Lord, but the earth he has given to mankind.

I love the LORD because he has heard my prayer for mercy;

Because He has inclined His ear to me,
Therefore I will call on Him as long as I live.

Return to your rest, O my soul,
For the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.

And why? Thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.

What may I give to the Lord for all the good things which he has done for me?

Behold, O LORD, how that I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thy handmaid. Thou hast broken my bonds in sunder.

Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me.

The LORD is my strength and protector, for he has become my deliverer.

[The] sound of rejoicing and salvation [is] in [the] tents of [the] righteous; the right hand of Yahweh [has] done valiantly.

The right hand of Yahweh [has] exalted; the right hand of Yahweh [has] done valiantly.

I will not die, but live, and I will proclaim what the Lord has done.

The Lord has disciplined me severely,
But He has not given me over to death.

I thank thee, for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.

The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

This is the day that the LORD has made; let's rejoice and be glad in it.

The Lord is God, and He has given us light [illuminating us with His grace and freedom and joy].
Bind the festival sacrifices with cords to the horns of the altar.

Thou hast given straight charge to keep thy commandments:

In my heart, have I treasured what thou hast said, to the end I may not sin against thee.

My soul is crushed with longing
For Your ordinances at all times.

Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy commandments.

I have declared my ways, and thou hast answered me: teach me thy statutes.

I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou hast set my heart at liberty.

So that my way may be in a wide place: because my search has been for your orders.

{Zayin} O think upon thy servant, as concerning thy word, wherein thou hast caused me to put my trust.

This is my comfort in my affliction,
That Your word has revived me and given me life.

Burning indignation has seized me because of the wicked,
Who forsake Your law.

This has been my practice, for I observe your precepts.

{Tet} O LORD, thou hast dealt graciously with thy servant, according unto thy word.

Your worshippers will see me and be glad; because my hope has been in your word.

I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou of very faithfulness hast caused me to be troubled.

O let thy merciful kindness be my comfort, according to the promise that thou hast made unto thy servant.

Thy truth also remaineth from one generation to another; thou hast laid the foundation of the earth, and it abideth.

I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me.

I am yours, O be my saviour; for my desire has been for your rules.

I realize that everything has its limits, but your commands are beyond full comprehension.

Thou, through thy commandments, hast made me wiser than mine enemies; for they are ever with me.

I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me.

Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood.

Dross! Thou hast caused to cease All the wicked of the earth; Therefore I have loved Thy testimonies.

The testimonies that thou hast commanded are exceeding righteous and true.

My zeal has [completely] consumed me,
Because my enemies have forgotten Your words.

My cry has gone up to you; take me out of trouble, and I will be guided by your unchanging word.

As concerning thy testimonies, I have known ever since the beginning that thou hast grounded them for ever.

I find joy at what you have said like one who has discovered a great treasure.

Lord, my hope has been in your salvation; and I have kept your teachings.

My soul has kept your unchanging word; great is my love for it.

My lips shall speak of thy praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes.

All my desire has been for your salvation, O Lord; and your law is my delight.

Too long my soul has had its dwelling
With those who hate peace.

Consider this: as the eyes of a servant focus on what his master provides, and as the eyes of a female servant focus on what her mistress provides, so our eyes focus on the LORD our God, until he has mercy on us.

For long enough our soul has had its fill of the derision of the self-confident, the contempt of [the] arrogant.

Blessed be the Lord,
Who has not given us as prey to be torn by their teeth.

We have escaped like a bird from the hunter's trap. The trap has been broken, and we have escaped.

For evil's scepter will not rest on the land that has been allotted to the righteous, and so the righteous will not direct themselves to do wrong.

Then our mouths were filled with laughter, and our tongues formed joyful shouts. Then it was said among the nations, "The LORD has done great things for them."

The great things that the LORD has done for us gladden us.

Happy is the man who has filled his quiver with them.
Such men will never be put to shame
when they speak with their enemies at the city gate.

The LORD is righteous he has cut me free from the cords of the wicked.

The Lord has sworn to David
A truth from which He will not turn back:
“Of the fruit of your body I will set upon your throne.

For the LORD has chosen Zion, desiring it as his dwelling place.

It is like the dew of [Mount] Hermon
Coming down on the hills of Zion;
For there the Lord has commanded the blessing: life forevermore.

For the Lord has chosen [the descendants of] Jacob for Himself,
Israel for His own special treasure and possession.

Whatever the Lord pleases, He does,
In the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all deeps—

For the Lord vindicates his people, and has compassion on his servants.

And has rescued us from our adversaries,
For His lovingkindness is everlasting;

O daughter of Babylon, thou shalt come to misery thyself; yea, happy shall he be that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.

I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name, because of thy loving-kindness and truth; for thou hast magnified thy word, according unto thy great name.

Though the Lord is exalted,
He regards the lowly [and invites them into His fellowship];
But the proud and haughty He knows from a distance.

{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.} O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.
