who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters, and maketh the clouds thy chariot, and walketh upon the wings of the wind.

Thou makest thine angels spirits, and thy ministers a flaming fire.

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

Thou waterest the hills from above; the earth is filled with the fruits of thy works.

O LORD, how manifold are thy works! Right wisely hast thou made them all; yea, the earth is full of thy riches.

Thou dost give to them -- they gather, Thou dost open Thy hand -- they are satisfied 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.

Be thy glory, O Yahweh, to times age-abiding, Let Yahweh rejoice in his own works:

Let thy meditation be sweet to him. I will rejoice in LORD.

Remember me, O LORD, according to the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation,

that we might see the pleasure of thy chosen, and rejoice in the gladness of thy people, and give thanks with thine inheritance.

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.

Deliver us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the Heathen; that we may give thanks unto thy holy name, and make our boast of thy praise.

For thy mercy is greater than the heavens, and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.

Set up thyself, O God, above the heavens, and thy glory above all the earth,

that thy beloved may be delivered; let thy righthand save them, and hear thou me.

{To the Chanter, a Psalm of David} Hold not thy tongue, O God of my praise;

But deal thou with me, O LORD God, according unto thy name; for sweet is thy mercy.

Help me, O LORD my God; O save me according to thy mercy,

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

Though they curse, yet bless thou; and let them be confounded, that rise up against me. But let thy servant rejoice.

{A Psalm of David} The LORD said unto my LORD, "Sit thou on my righthand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool."

The LORD shall send the rod of thy power out of Zion; be thou ruler, even in the midst among thine enemies.

In the day of thy power shall thy people offer thee free-will offerings with a holy worship; the dew of thy birth is of the womb of the morning.

The LORD upon thy righthand shall smite even kings in the day of his wrath.

Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give the praise, for thy loving mercy, and for thy truth's sake.

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

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.

In the courts of the house of Jehovah, In thy midst, O Jerusalem, praise ye Jah!

Thou hast given straight charge to keep thy commandments:

O that my ways were made so direct, that I might keep thy statutes!

So shall I not be confounded, while I have respect unto all thy commandments.

I will thank thee with an unfeigned heart, because I am learned in the judgments of thy righteousness.

I will keep thy statutes; O forsake me not utterly.

{Beth} Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? Even by ruling himself after thy word.

With my whole heart do I seek thee; O let me not go wrong out of thy commandments.

Thy words have I hid within my heart, that I should not sin against thee.

Blessed art thou, O LORD; O teach me thy statutes.

With my lips will I be telling out all the judgments of thy mouth.

I have as great delight in the way of thy testimonies, as in all manner of riches.

I will exercise myself in thy commandments, and have respect unto thy footpaths.

My delight shall be in thy statutes, and I will not forget thy words.

{Gimel} O do well unto thy servant, that I may live, and keep thy word.

Open thou mine eyes, that I may see the wondrous things of thy law.

I am a stranger upon earth; O hide not thy commandments from me.

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

Thou rebukest the proud; and cursed are they that depart from thy commandments.

O turn from me shame and rebuke, for I have kept thy testimonies.

Princes also sit and speak against me; but thy servant is occupied in thy statutes.

For thy testimonies are my delight, and my counsellors.

{Daleth} My soul cleaveth unto the dust; O quicken thou me, according to thy word.

I acknowledged my ways, and thou heardest me; O teach me then thy statutes.

Make me to understand the way of thy commandments, and so shall I talk of thy wondrous works.

My soul melteth away for very heaviness; comfort thou me according unto thy word.

Take from me the way of lying, and grant me thy law.

I have chosen the way of truth, thy judgments have I laid before me.

I stick unto thy testimonies; O LORD, confound me not.

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

{He} Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes, and I shall keep it unto the end.

O give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea I shall keep it with my whole heart.

Lead me in the path of thy commandments, for therein is my desire.

Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness.

O turn away mine eyes, lest they behold vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way.

O establish thy word in thy servant, that I may fear thee.

Take away the rebuke that I am afraid of; for thy judgments are good.

Behold, my delight is in thy commandments; O quicken me in thy righteousness.

{Vav} Let thy loving mercies come unto me, O LORD, even thy salvation, according unto thy word;

that I may give answer unto my blasphemers - for my trust is in thy word.

O take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth, for my hope is in thy judgments.

So shall I always keep thy law; yea, for ever and ever.

And I will walk at liberty, for I seek thy commandments.

I will speak of thy testimonies even before kings, and will not be ashamed.

My delight shall be in thy commandments, which I love.

My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I love; and my study shall be in thy statutes.

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

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

The proud have had me exceedingly in derision; yet have I not shrinked from thy law.

I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself.

I am horribly afraid for the ungodly that forsake thy law.

Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.

I have thought upon thy name, O LORD, in the night season, and have kept thy law.

It is mine own, for I keep thy commandments.

{Khet} Thou art my portion, O LORD, I have promised to keep thy law.

I make my humble petition in thy presence with my whole heart; O be merciful unto me, according unto thy word.

I call mine own ways to remembrance, and turn my feet into thy testimonies.

I make haste, and prolong not the time, to keep thy commandments.

The congregations of the ungodly have robbed me, but I have not forgotten thy law.

At midnight stand I up, to give thanks unto thee, because of thy righteous judgments.

I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and keep thy commandments.

The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy; O teach me thy statutes.

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

O learn me thy kindness, nurture and knowledge, for I believe thy commandments.

Before I was troubled, I went wrong, but now I keep thy word.

Thou art good and friendly; O teach me thy statutes.

The proud imagine lies upon me, but I keep thy commandments with my whole heart.

Their heart is as fat as brawn, but my delight hath been in thy law.

It is good for me that I have been in trouble, that I may learn thy statutes.

The law of thy mouth is dearer unto me, than thousands of gold and silver.

{Yod} Thy hands have made me and fashioned me, O give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.
