Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.

The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:

Look at your enemies, LORD! Look at your enemies, for they are destroyed; everyone who practices iniquity will be scattered.

My eyes look down on my enemies;
my ears hear evildoers when they attack me.

The godly grow like a palm tree; they grow high like a cedar in Lebanon.

Planted in the Lord's house, they grow in the courts of our God.

They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;

So they proclaim that the Lord, my protector, is just and never unfair.

The rivers send up, O Lord, the rivers send up their voices; they send them up with a loud cry.

Rise up, Judge of the earth;
repay the proud what they deserve.

How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?

They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage.

They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.

Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.

The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.

But decisions will again be made in righteousness; and they will be kept by all whose hearts are true.

Can a throne of destruction be allied with You,
One which frames and devises mischief by decree [under the sacred name of law]?

They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.

He says, "Do not be stubborn like they were at Meribah, like they were that day at Massah in the wilderness,

where your ancestors tested me. They tested me, even though they had seen my awesome deeds.

Forty years long was I grieved with that generation, and said, "They ever err in their hearts, they verily have not known my ways."

Therefore I said unto them in my wrath, that they should not enter into my rest.

As for all the gods of the Heathen, they are but Idols, but it is the LORD that made the heavens. {TYNDALE: For all the gods of the heathen are Idols; But the LORD made the heavens.}

Confounded be all they that worship images, and delight in their idols; worship him all ye gods.

Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

They praise Thy name, 'Great, and fearful, holy it is.'

Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them.

He spake unto them out of the cloudy pillar; for they kept his testimonies, and the law that he gave them.

O Lord our God, you answered them. They found you to be a forgiving God, but also one who punished their sinful deeds.

I will set no vile thing before my eyes. I hate the deeds of faithless men. They will not cling to me.

Mine eyes shall look for such as be faithful in the land, that they may dwell with me. Whoso leadeth a godly life, he shall be my servant.

Mine enemies revile me all the day long; and they that are mad upon me are sworn together against me.

For I have eaten ashes like bread,
And have mingled my drink with tears

For Thy servants have been pleased with her stones, And her dust they favour.

that they may preach the name of the LORD in Zion, and his worship at Jerusalem,

Yet will I say, "O my God, take me not away in the midst of my age; as for thy years, they endure throughout all generations."

They shall perish, but thou shalt endure; they all shall wax old as doth a garment, and as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed.

If they keep his agreement, and have his laws in mind to do them.

But at thy rebuke they flee, at the voice of thy thunder they are afraid.

They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.

Thou hast set them their bounds, which they may not pass, that they turn not again to cover the earth.

He turns springs into streams; they flow between the mountains.

They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst.

Beside them the birds of the heavens have their nests;
They lift up their voices and sing among the branches.

He provides grass for the cattle, and crops for people to cultivate, so they can produce food from the ground,

as well as wine that makes people feel so good, and so they can have oil to make their faces shine, as well as food that sustains people's lives.

The trees of the Lord receive all the rain they need, the cedars of Lebanon which he planted,

But when the sun ariseth, they get them away together, and lie them down in their dens.

They all wait for You
To give them their food in due season.

When thou givest it them, they gather it; when thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.

But when thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; when thou takest away their breath, they die, and are turned again to their dust.

When thou lettest thy breath go forth, they shall be made; and thou shalt renew the face of the earth.

The earth trembleth at the look of him; he doth but touch the hills and they smoke.

As for the sinners, they shall be consumed out of the earth, and the ungodly shall come to an end. But praise thou the LORD, O my soul: Praise the everlasting! Hallelujah!

When there was yet but a few of them - and they strangers in the land -

what time as they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another.

whose feet they hurt in the stocks. The iron pierced his heart,

whose heart turned so, that they hated his people, and dealt untruly with his servants.

They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.

He sent darkness, and it was dark; for they were not obedient unto his word.

They ate all the vegetation in their land, and devoured the crops of their fields.

Egypt was glad at their departing: for they were afraid of them.

They asked for food, and he sent quails; he satisfied them with food from the sky.

He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.

When he led his people out, they rejoiced; his chosen ones shouted with joy.

and gave them the lands of the Heathen; where they took the labours of the people in possession,

that they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Praise the everlasting! Hallelujah!

Blessed are they that always keep judgment, and do righteousness.

Our fathers regarded not thy wonders in Egypt, neither kept they thy great goodness in remembrance, but were disobedient at the sea, even at the reed sea.

Then believed they in his word, and sang praise unto him.

But within a while they forgot his works, and would not abide his counsel.

A lust came upon them in the wilderness, so that they tempted God in the desert.

He gave them what they asked for,
but sent a wasting disease among them.

They angered Moses in the tents, and Aaron the saint of the LORD.

They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.

Thus they turned their glory into the similitude of a calf, that eateth hay.

They forgot God their Savior, which had done so great things in Egypt,

Yea, they thought scorn of that pleasant land, and gave no credence unto his word,

And they murmur in their tents, They have not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah.

They joined themselves unto Baal-Peor, and ate the offerings of the dead.

Thus they provoked him unto anger with their own inventions; and the plague was great among them.

They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that he punished Moses for their sakes,

because they provoked his spirit, so that he spoke unadvisedly with his lips.

Neither destroyed they the Heathen, as the LORD commanded them,

Instead, they mingled among the nations and learned their ways.

insomuch that they worshipped their idols, which turned to their own decay.

Yea, they offered their sons and their daughters unto devils,

and shed the innocent blood of their sons and of their daughters; whom they offered unto the idols of Canaan, so that the land was defiled with blood.

Thus were they stained with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.

and gave them over into the hand of the Heathen; and they that hated them, were lords over them.

Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.

Many a time did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their own inventions, and were brought down in their wickedness.

And He remembered His covenant for their sake,
And relented [rescinding their sentence] according to the greatness of His lovingkindness [when they cried out to Him],

They being redeemed of Jehovah shall say, Which he redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

They went astray in the wilderness in an untrodden way, and found no city to dwell in.

Hungry and thirsty,
They fainted.

So they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.

He led them forth by the right way, that they might go to the city where they dwelt.
