I cry out with my voice to God; with my voice to God, that he may hear me.

I remember God; then I am disquieted and I groan;
I sigh [in prayer], and my spirit grows faint. Selah.

You keep my eyes from sleep; I am so troubled that no words come.

Then remembered I the times of old, and the years that were past.

Has God forgotten to be gracious?
Or has He in anger withdrawn His compassion? Selah.

Then I said, "I am sickened by the thought that the sovereign One might become inactive.

Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people.

You have with Your [great] arm redeemed Your people,
The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.

I will sing a song that imparts wisdom; I will make insightful observations about the past.

That we have heard and do know, And our fathers have recounted to us.

We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.

He put up a witness in Jacob, and made a law in Israel; which he gave to our fathers so that they might give knowledge of them to their children;

So that the generation to come might have knowledge of them, even the children of the future, who would give word of them to their children;

So that they might put their hope in God, and not let God's works go out of their minds, but keep his laws;

And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.

And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them.

The sea was cut in two so that they might go through; the waters were massed together on this side and on that.

He brought waters out of the stony rock, so that it gushed out like the rivers.

See, the rock was cut open by his power, so that the water came rushing out, and overflowing streams; is he able to give us bread? is he able to get meat for his people?

so that manna rained down on them for food and he sent them the grain of heaven.

And they did eat, and were well filled; for that they lusted after, he brought to them.

They were not estranged from that which they desired, Their food was yet in their mouths,

In the memory that God was their Rock, and the Most High God their saviour.

But he was so merciful, that he forgave their misdeeds, and destroyed them not. Yea, many a time turned he his wrath away, and would not suffer his whole displeasure to arise.

So he kept in mind that they were only flesh; a breath which is quickly gone, and will not come again.

So that their rivers were turned to blood, and they were not able to get drink from their streams.

He sent among them flies that devoured them and frogs that destroyed them.

He took them on safely so that they had no fear; but their haters were covered by the sea.

They turned back and acted unfaithfully like their fathers;
They were twisted like a warped bow [that will not respond to the archer’s aim].

So that he went away from the holy place in Shiloh, the tent which he had put among men;

His priests [Hophni and Phinehas] fell by the sword,
And His widows could not weep.

Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.

And He chooseth the tribe of Judah, With mount Zion that He loved,

And he built his sanctuary like [the] heights, like [the] earth that he established forever.

from following the ewes that have their young, he brought him to be the shepherd of Jacob, his people, and Israel, his inheritance.

We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.

Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.

O remember not our old sins, but have mercy upon us, and that soon; for we are come to great misery.

Why do the nations say, 'Where is their God?' Let be known among the nations before our eyes, The vengeance of the blood of Thy servants that is shed.

Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die;

So we, that be the people and sheep of thy pasture, shall give thee thanks forever, and will always be showing forth thy praise, from generation to generation.

{To the chief Musician upon ShoshannimEduth, A Psalm of Asaph.} Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.

O God, restore us, and cause your face to shine that we may be saved.

O God [of] hosts, restore us and cause your face to shine that we may be saved.

You made ready a place for it, so that it might take deep root, and it sent out its branches over all the land.

Why have You broken down its walls
so that all who pass by pick its fruit?

the root Your right hand has planted,
the shoot that You made strong for Yourself.

O Yahweh God [of] hosts, restore us; cause your face to shine that we may be saved.

This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not.

“You called in [the time of] trouble and I rescued you;
I answered you in the secret place of thunder;
I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah.

I am the Lord your God, who took you up from the land of Egypt: let your mouth be open wide, so that I may give you food.

So I gave them up to the desires of their hearts; that they might go after their evil purposes.

Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!

How long will you judge unjustly
And show partiality to the wicked? Selah.

Defend the poor and fatherless, see that such as be in need and necessity have right.

They do not know or consider. They go about in the darkness, [so that] all [the] foundations of [the] earth are shaken.

For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.

They say, “Come, let us wipe them out as a nation
so that Israel’s name will no longer be remembered.”

Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek: the Philistines with them that dwell at Tyre.

Assyria also has joined with them;
They have helped the children of Lot [the Ammonites and the Moabites] and have been an arm [of strength] to them. Selah.

As the fire that burns the forest, as the flame that sets the mountains on fire,

Cover their faces with shame
so that they will seek Your name Yahweh.

May they know that You alone—
whose name is Yahweh—
are the Most High over all the earth.

Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.

How blessed are those who find their strength in you, and long to travel the roads that lead to your temple!

O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer;
Listen, O God of Jacob! Selah.

For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.

You have forgiven the wickedness of Your people;
You have covered all their sin. Selah.

Will You not revive us again
so that Your people may rejoice in You?

I will hearken what the LORD God will say concerning me; for he shall speak peace unto his people, and to his saints, that they turn not themselves unto foolishness.

His salvation is very near those who fear Him,
so that glory may dwell in our land.

Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.

Righteousness, before him, shall march long, - That he may make, into a way, the steps of its feet.

Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.

For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.

Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O LORD, there is not one that can do as thou doest.

All nations that Thou hast made Come and bow themselves before Thee, O Lord, And give honour to Thy name.

Teach me, O Yahweh, your way, [that] I may walk in your truth. Unite my heart to fear your name.

Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.

Glorious things are spoken of you,
O city of God [Jerusalem]. Selah.

I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there.

And it will be said of Zion,
“This one and that one were born in her.”
The Most High Himself will establish her.

The Lord will keep in mind, when he is writing the records of the people, that this man had his birth there. (Selah.)

They that sing as well as they that dance'shall say , All my fountains are in thee.

I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:

Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.

Your wrath has rested heavily upon me,
And You have afflicted me with all Your waves. Selah.

Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me, and made me to be abhorred of them. I am so fast in prison that I cannot get forth.

Wilt thou show wonders to the dead? Shall they that are decreased arise and praise thee? Selah

I am in misery, and like unto him that is at the point to die; even from my youth up, thy terrors have I suffered with a troubled mind.

I will declare that your gracious love was established forever; in the heavens itself, you have established your faithfulness.

I will establish your seed forever
And I will build up your throne for all generations.” Selah.

For who is he among the clouds, that may be compared unto the LORD? Yea what is he among the gods, that shall be like unto the LORD?

God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.

Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.

The heavens are thine. The earth also is thine; thou hast laid the foundation of the round world and all that therein is.

Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance.

Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.

And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.
