For thou, LORD, art higher than all that are in the earth; thou art exalted far above all gods.

You who are lovers of the Lord, be haters of evil; he keeps the souls of his saints; he takes them out of the hand of sinners.

There is sprung up a light for the righteous, and a joyful gladness for such as are true hearted.

Moses and Aaron among His priests, And Samuel among those proclaiming His name. They are calling unto Jehovah, And He doth answer them.

You answered them, LORD our God. You are a God who forgave them, although you took vengeance for their doings.

Be ye sure, that the LORD he is God; it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves. We are but his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

For the Lord is good;
His mercy and lovingkindness are everlasting,
His faithfulness [endures] to all generations.

My eyes are looking at the faithful of the land, so they may live with me; The one who lives a life of integrity will serve me.

I shall soon destroy all the ungodly that are in the land, that I may root out all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.

For my days are consumed away like smoke, and my bones are burnt up as it were a firebrand.

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

My days are gone like a shadow, and I am withered like grass.

But you, LORD, are enthroned forever; You are remembered throughout all generations.

that he may hear the mournings of such as be in captivity, and deliver the children that are appointed unto death,

when the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms also, to serve the LORD.

I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations.

Thou, LORD, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the works of thy hands.

They -- They perish, and Thou remainest, And all of them as a garment become old, As clothing Thou changest them, And they are changed.

And Thou art the same, and Thine years are not finished.

The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment, for all them that are oppressed with wrong.

For as the heavens are high above the earth,
So great is His lovingkindness toward those who fear and worship Him [with awe-filled respect and deepest reverence].

For he knoweth whereof we be made, he remembereth that we are but dust;

As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

But the lovingkindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who [reverently] fear Him,
And His righteousness to children’s children,

to those who keep his covenant, who are careful to obey his commands.

Bless the LORD, you angels who belong to him, you mighty warriors who carry out his commands, who are obedient to the sound of his words.

Bless and affectionately praise the Lord, O my soul!
O Lord my God, You are very great;
You are clothed with splendor and majesty,

[You are the One] who covers Yourself with light as with a garment,
Who stretches out the heavens like a tent curtain,

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

Then are the hills seen aloft, and the valleys beneath - in their place which thou hast appointed for them.

Bounds, hast thou set, which they are not to pass over, They are not to return to cover the earth.

You sent the springs into the valleys; they are flowing between the hills.

[You are the one who] {waters} [the] mountains from his upper chambers. The earth is full with the fruit of your labors:

The trees of the LORD also are full of sap, even the cedars of Lebanon which he hath planted,

wherein the birds make their nests; and the fir trees are a dwelling for the stork.

The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats, and so are the stony rocks for the conies.

The young lions are roaring for prey, And to seek from God their food.

The sun riseth, they are gathered, And in their dens they crouch.

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

So is this great and wide sea also, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.

They all wait for You
To give them their food in its appointed 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.

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

Consumed are sinners from the earth, And the wicked are no more. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah. Praise ye Jehovah!

Make your boast in his holy Name, Joyful be the heart of them who are seeking Yahweh.

He is the LORD our God, his judgments are in all the world.

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

Keep me in mind, O Lord, when you are good to your people; O let your salvation come to me;

We are sinners like our fathers, we have done wrong, our acts are evil.

And they are envious of Moses in the camp, Of Aaron, Jehovah's holy one.

And they are coupled to Baal-Peor, And eat the sacrifices of the dead,

And serve their idols, And they are to them for a snare.

And they are defiled with their works, And commit whoredom in their habitual doings.

And their enemies oppress them, And they are humbled under their hand.

Many times He doth deliver them, And they rebel in their counsel, And they are brought low in their iniquity.

Blessed are you, LORD God of Israel, from eternity to eternity; Let all the people say, "Amen!" Hallelujah!

The doors of brass are broken by his arm, and the bands of iron are cut in two.

Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.

They are disgusted by all food, and they come near to the doors of death.

They are carried up to the heaven, and down again to the deep; their soul melteth away in the trouble.

They reel to and fro, they stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end.

He maketh the storm to cease, so that the waves are still.

Then are they glad, because they are at rest; and so he bringeth them unto the haven where they would be.

He makes a fertile country into a salt waste, because of the sins of those who are living there.

He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.

When they are minished and brought low through oppression, through any plague or trouble,

The upright see it and are glad;
But all unrighteousness shuts its mouth.

For Your lovingkindness is great and higher than the heavens;
Your truth reaches to the skies.

For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.

Words of hate are round about me; they have made war against me without cause.

For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.

His days are few, his oversight another taketh,

His sons are fatherless, and his wife a widow.

They are before Jehovah continually, And He cutteth off from earth their memorial.

This, be the reward of mine accusers, from Yahweh, even of them who are speaking wrongfully against my life.

But You, O God, the Lord, show kindness to me, for Your name’s sake;
Because Your lovingkindness (faithfulness, compassion) is good, O rescue me;

My knees are weak through fasting; my flesh is dried up for want of fatness.

Help me, O Lord my God! Because you are faithful to me, deliver me!

They revile, and Thou dost bless, They have risen, and are ashamed, And Thy servant doth rejoice.

Mine accusers put on blushing, and are covered, As an upper robe is their shame.

The Lord said to my lord, Be seated at my right hand, till I put all those who are against you under your feet.

Thy people are free-will gifts in the day of Thy strength, in the honours of holiness, From the womb, from the morning, Thou hast the dew of thy youth.

The LORD took an oath and will never recant: "You are a priest forever, after the manner of Melchizedek."

The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.

Splendid and glorious are his awesome deeds, and his righteousness endures forever.

The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are true.

They stand fast forever and ever, and are done in truth and equity.

The fear of the Lord is the best part of wisdom: all those who keep his laws are wise: his praise is eternal.

Wealth and riches are in his house, And his righteousness is standing for ever.

Light arises in the darkness for the upright;
He is gracious and compassionate and righteous (upright—in right standing with God).

which humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven and earth?

Their images are but silver and gold, even the work of men's hands.

They that make them, are like unto them; and so are all such as put their trust in them.

For ye are the blessed of the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

All the whole heavens are the LORD's; but the earth hath he given unto the children of men.

I said in my haste, "All men are liars."

What do I return to Jehovah? All His benefits are upon me.

For His lovingkindness prevails over us [and we triumph and overcome through Him],
And the truth of the Lord endures forever.
Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)

They surrounded me, they are around me; but in the name of the LORD I will defeat them.
