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!

For He has satisfied the thirsty
and filled the hungry with good things.

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

For He has broken down the bronze gates
and cut through the iron bars.

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 sanctuary:
“I will triumph!
I will divide up Shechem.
I will apportion the Valley of Succoth.

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

Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? 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.

Let a creditor seize all he has;
let strangers plunder what he has worked for.

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 weak from fasting,
And my flesh has grown lean, without fatness.

That they may know that this is thy hand; 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 take it back:
“Forever, You are a priest
like Melchizedek.”

He has caused His wonderful works to be remembered.
The Lord is gracious and compassionate.

He has provided food for those who fear Him;
He remembers His covenant forever.

He has shown His people the power of His works
by giving them the inheritance of the nations.

He has sent redemption to His people.
He has ordained His covenant forever.
His name is holy and awe-inspiring.

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 dispersed, he has given to the poor. His righteousness endures forever. His horn will be exalted with honor.

Who is like Yahweh, our God, who has his seat on high,

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

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

The heavens are the Lord’s,
but the earth He has given to the human race.

I love the Lord because He has heard
my appeal for mercy.

Because He has turned His ear to me,
I will call out to Him as long as I live.

Return to your rest, my soul,
for the Lord has been good to you.

For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.

How can I repay the Lord
for all the good He has done for me?

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

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

The Lord is my strength and my song;
He has become my salvation.

[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 I will live
and proclaim what the Lord has done.

Yah has disciplined me severely, but he did not consign me to death.

I will praise 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 the Lord has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it.

The Lord is God and has given us light.
Bind the festival sacrifice with cords
to the horns of the altar.

Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently.

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

My soul breaks for the longing that it has unto your judgments 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.

Keep in mind your word to your servant, for on it has my hope been fixed.

This is my comfort in my affliction:
Your promise has given me life.

Horror has taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake your law.

This has been true of me, that I have kept your orders in my heart.

TETH. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according to 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 in faithfulness hast afflicted me.

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

Thy faithfulness is to all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.

I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast revived 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 my 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.

Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful.

My zeal has 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.

Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded 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 testimonies; and I love them exceedingly.

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

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

My soul has long dwelt with him that hates peace.

Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until he has mercy upon 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 a prey to their teeth.

Our soul has escaped like a bird from [the] snare of fowlers. The snare [is] 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 was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the nations, The LORD has done great things for them.

The LORD has done great things for us; and we are glad.

Happy is the man that has his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

The LORD is righteous: he has cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

The LORD has sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of your body will I set upon your throne.

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

It is like the dew of Hermon
falling on the mountains of Zion.
For there the Lord has appointed the blessing—
life forevermore.

For the LORD has chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure.

The Lord has done whatever was pleasing to him, in heaven, and on the earth, in the seas and in all the deep waters.

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

And has redeemed us from our enemies: for his mercy endures forever.

O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.

I will worship towards thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

Though the LORD be high, yet has he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knows from afar.

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