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:

For lo! thine enemies, Yahweh, For lo! thine enemies, shall perish, They shall be scattered - all the workers of iniquity;

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

The righteous will flourish like the date palm [long-lived, upright and useful];
They will grow like a cedar in Lebanon [majestic and stable].

They are planted in the house of Jehovah; They shall flourish in the courts of our God.

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

[They are living memorials] to declare that the Lord is upright and faithful [to His promises];
He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

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,

when your ancestors tried me. They put me to the test, [even] though they had seen my work.

Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:

Unto whom I sware 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 serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods.

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

They shall praise thy great and terrible name, it is holy! --

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 in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance 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 be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.

Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn 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.

so that [they may] make known in Zion the name of Yahweh, and his praise in 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: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; 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.

At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.

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

Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.

He sendeth forth springs into the valleys; They run among the mountains;

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

By them the birds of the heavens have their habitation; They 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,

The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.

They all wait for you to give [them] their food {at the proper time}.

That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.

Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.

Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.

He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth 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 they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.

When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people;

Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:

Their hearts were turned to hate against his people, so that they made secret designs against them.

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

He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.

And they devoured every herb in their land, and ate up the fruit of their ground.

Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.

They asked, and he brought quails, And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

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: and they inherited the labour of the people;

That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD.

Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times.

Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked him at the sea, even at the Red sea.

Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.

They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel:

And they lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.

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

They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the LORD.

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

Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.

They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;

Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word:

But murmured in their tents: they hearkened not unto the voice of Jehovah.

They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.

Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them.

They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:

Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.

They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them:

But they mingled with the nations, and learned their works;

And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.

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

And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.

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

And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them.

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

Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.

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 wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.

Hungry and thirsty,
They fainted.

Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.

And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
