For it is a statute for Israel, An ordinance of the God of Jacob.

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.

I took the weight from his back; his hands were made free from the baskets.

Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah.

I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

Yet my people didn't obey my voice; Israel didn't submit to me.

I gave them over to their stubborn desires; they did what seemed right to them.

He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.

Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.

They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

Yet you will die like mortals; you will fall like all the other rulers."

Arise, O God, judge the earth!
For it is You who possesses all the nations.

They have said, “Come, and let us wipe them out as a nation;
Let the name of Israel be remembered no more.”

For they counseled together with the heart: they will cut out a covenant against thee:

It includes the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites,

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

Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:

Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.

As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;

My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.

Even the sparrow found a house for herself and the swallow a nest to lay her young at your altar, LORD of the Heavenly Armies, my king and God.

O the happiness of those inhabiting Thy house, Yet do they praise Thee. Selah.

Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.

Look at our shield, O God, and have regard for the face of your anointed one.

For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God, than dwell in the tents of wickedness.

For, a sun and shield, is Yahweh God, - Grace and glory, will Yahweh give, He will not withhold what is good, from them who walk without blame.

O Lord, You have [at last] shown favor to Your land [of Canaan];
You have restored [from Babylon] the captives of Jacob (Israel).

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

Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?

I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.

Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.

Jehovah also will give what is good, and our land shall yield its increase.

Righteousness will go before him, and it will make his steps a pathway.

Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I cry out to you all day long!

Certainly O Lord, you are kind and forgiving, and show great faithfulness to all who cry out to you.

In my time of trouble I cry out to you, for you will answer me.

Point out to me, O Yahweh, thy way, I will walk steadfastly in thy truth, My heart will rejoice to revere thy 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 mention Rahab and Babylon to my followers. Here are Philistia and Tyre, along with Ethiopia. It is said of them, "This one was born there."

And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.

The LORD shall cause it to be preached and written among the people, that he was born there. Selah.

O Lord, the God of my salvation,
I have cried out [for help] by day and in the night before You.

free among the dead, like unto them that lie in the grave, which be out of remembrance, and are cut away from thy hand.

The weight of your wrath is crushing me, all your waves have overcome me. (Selah.)

You have removed my acquaintances far from me. You have made me detestable to them. [I am] confined and cannot go out.

Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.

As for me, I cry out to you LORD, and in the morning my prayer greets you.

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.

My lovers and friends hast thou put away from me, and hid mine acquaintance out of my sight.

I cut out a covenant to my chosen, I sware to David my servant,

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?

O Lord God of hosts, who is like You, O mighty Lord?
Your faithfulness surrounds You [as an intrinsic, unchangeable part of Your very being].

Thou rule the pride of the sea. When the waves of it arise, thou still them.

You crushed the Proud One and killed it; with your strong arm you scattered your enemies.

The heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours;
The world and all that is in it, You have founded and established them.

North and south—You created them.
Tabor and Hermon shout for joy at Your name.

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.

He will call out [to] me, 'You [are] my Father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.'

My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.

Yet, thou thyself, hast cast off, and rejected, Thou hast been wroth with thine Anointed One!

Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.

All those who come by take away his goods; he is laughed at by his neighbours.

Thou hast put out his glory, and cast his throne down to the ground.

Oh remember how short my time is: For what vanity hast thou created all the children of men!

What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.

Remember, LORD, the rebuke that the multitude of the people do unto thy servants, and how I have borne it in my bosom;

Let the Lord be praised for ever. So be it, So be it.

For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.

In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.

For we consume away in thy displeasure, and are afraid at thy wrathful indignation.

Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee, Our hidden things at the light of Thy face,

For all our days pass away in Your wrath;
We have finished our years like a whispered sigh.

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.

Who understands the power of Your anger? [Who connects this brevity of life among us with Your judgment of sin?]
And Your wrath, [who connects it] with the [reverent] fear that is due You?

Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.

Satisfy us at morn with Thy kindness, And we sing and rejoice all our days.

And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.

He will take you out of the bird-net, and keep you safe from wasting disease.

Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

You will only see it with your eyes
and witness the punishment of the wicked.

Because he has given me his love, I will take him out of danger: I will put him in a place of honour, because he has kept my name in his heart.

When he calls out to Me, I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble.
I will rescue him and give him honor.

{A Psalm or Song for the sabbath day.} It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:

to declare Your faithful love in the morning
and Your faithfulness at night,

For You, O Lord, have made me glad by Your works;
At the works of Your hands I joyfully sing.

A brutish man knoweth not, neither doth a fool understand it.

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:

Look at your enemies, LORD! Look at your enemies, for they are destroyed; everyone who practices iniquity will be scattered.

And mine eye shall see its desire on mine enemies; mine ears shall hear it of the evil-doers that rise up against me.

They shall yet sprout in old as; they shall be fat and green.

The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.

The waves of the sea are mighty, and rage horribly; but yet the LORD that dwelleth on high is mightier.

Your witness is most certain; it is right for your house to be holy, O Lord, for ever.

Rise up, O Judge of the earth. Repay upon the proud what is [their] rightful due.

They pour out words, speaking arrogant things;
All who do evil boast proudly.

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.
