He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;

And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart.

Satisfied are the trees of Jehovah, Cedars of Lebanon that He hath planted,

Thou makest darkness, that it may be night, wherein all the beasts of the forest do move.

There go the ships over, and there is that Leviathan, whom thou hast made, to take his pastime therein.

These wait all upon thee, that thou mayest give them meat in due season.

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

O that my words might please him, for my joy is in the LORD.

Give his holy name a good report; let their hearts rejoice that seek the LORD.

Remember the marvelous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth.

He is always mindful of his covenant and promise, that he made to a thousand generations,

even the covenant that he made with Abraham, and the oath that he sware unto Isaac,

He said: "I will give Canaan to you as the allotted portion that is your inheritance."

And he took away all food from the land, so that the people were without bread.

until the time that his word came, and until the word of the LORD had tried him.

that he might inform his princes after his will, and teach his senators wisdom.

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

He turned their water into blood, so that the fish died.

He smote their vineyards and fig trees, and destroyed the trees that were in their coasts.

He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number,

Thus brought he them forth, with silver and gold, Nor was there, throughout his tribes, one that faltered;

He opened the rock of stone, and the waters flowed out, so that rivers ran in the dry places.

He gave them also the lands of the nations,
That they might take possession of the fruit of the peoples’ labor,

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

Who can put into words the mighty deeds of the Lord?
Or who can proclaim all His praise [that is due Him]?

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

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.

Nevertheless, he helped them for his name's sake, that he might make his power to be known.

And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

As for those that troubled them, the waters overwhelmed them; there was not one of them left.

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

Then a fire burned among their company, a flame that set the wicked ablaze.

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

So he said he would have destroyed them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in that gap; to turn away his wrathful indignation, lest he should destroy them.

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

So he swore an oath concerning them that he would cause them to die in the wilderness,

And that he would make their seed fall among the nations, and disperse them through the countries.

They had provoked anger by their deeds, so that a plague broke out against them.

But Phinehas intervened and prayed so that the plague was restrained.

And that was counted unto him for righteousness, among all posterities for evermore.

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.

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

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.

Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance;

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

Their enemies oppressed them, so that they were humiliated by their power.

yea, he made all those that had led them away captive, to pity them.

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.

Let the redeemed of the Lord proclaim
that He has redeemed them from the hand of the foe

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

O that men would therefore praise the LORD for his goodness; and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men!

He gives its desire to the unresting soul, so that it is full of good things.

So that he made their hearts weighted down with grief; they were falling, and had no helper.

He brought them out of darkness and the deep (deathly) darkness
And broke their bonds apart.

O that men would therefore praise the LORD for his goodness, and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men!

O that men would therefore praise the LORD for his goodness, and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men!

- That they would offer unto him the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and tell out his works with gladness!

They that go down to the sea in ships, and occupy their business in great waters,

He spoke and stirred up a windstorm that made its waves surge.

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

So they rejoiced that the waves became quiet, and he led them to their desired haven.

O that men would therefore praise the LORD for his goodness, and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men!

- That they would exalt him in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the seat of the elders,

A fruitful land maketh he barren, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

There he setteth the hungry, that they may build them a city to dwell in,

that they may sow their land and plant vineyards, to yield them fruits of increase.

He blesseth them, so that they multiply exceedingly, and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.

Let whoever is wise observe these things, that they may comprehend the gracious love of the LORD. A song. A Davidic psalm.

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

Through God we shall do great acts; for it is he that shall tread down our enemies.

For the love that I had unto them, they take now my contrary part; but I give myself unto prayer.

Let the extortioner consume all that he hath; and let stranger spoil his labour.

Let them be always before the LORD, that he may root out the memorial of them from off the earth;

and that, because his mind was not to do good, but persecuted the poor helpless, and him that was vexed at the heart, to slay him.

Let it be unto him as the cloak that he hath on him, and as the girdle that he is girded withal.

Let it thus happen from the LORD unto mine enemies, and to those that speak evil against my soul.

I go hence like the shadow that departeth, and am driven away as the grasshopper.

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.

For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.

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

All that He does is splendid and majestic;
His righteousness endures forever.

The merciful and gracious LORD hath so done his marvelous works, that they ought to be had in remembrance.

He giveth meat unto them that fear him; he is ever mindful of his covenant.

He showeth his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.

He delivered his people; he ordained that his covenant be observed forever. His name is holy and awesome.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do thereafter. The praise of it endureth forever.

{Praise the Everlasting} Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, and hath great delight in his commandments.

It is well with the man that is gracious and lendeth; he will sustain his cause in judgment.

Sustained is his heart -- he feareth not, Till that he look on his adversaries.

Who is like unto the LORD our God, that hath his dwelling so high;

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

That raiseth, out of the dust, the poor, From the dunghill, uplifteth the needy;

that he may set him among the princes, even among the princes of his people.

When Israel came out of Egypt, and the house of Jacob from among that strange people,

The sea saw that, and fled, Jordan turned back.

What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? And thou Jordan, that thou turnest back?

Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams? And ye little hills, like young sheep?
