He established it for a testimony in Joseph
When He went throughout the land of Egypt.
I heard the language [of One whom] I did not know, saying,

“There I will make the horn (strength) of David grow;
I have prepared a lamp for My anointed [fulfilling the promises].

When I see and consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which You have established,

He will sit enthroned forever before [the face of] God;
Appoint lovingkindness and truth to watch over and preserve him.

Then I will go to the altar of God,
To God, my exceeding joy;
With the lyre I will praise You, O God, my God!

My soul (my life, my inner self) thirsts for God, for the living God.
When will I come and see the face of God?

You have loved righteousness (virtue, morality, justice) and hated wickedness;
Therefore God, your God, has anointed You
Above Your companions with the oil of jubilation.

The earth has yielded its harvest [as evidence of His approval];
God, our God, blesses us.

The earth trembled;
The heavens also poured down rain at the presence of God;
Sinai itself trembled at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

God is to us a God of acts of salvation;
And to God the Lord belong escapes from death [setting us free].

O God, You are awesome and profoundly majestic from Your sanctuary;
The God of Israel gives strength and power to His people.
Blessed be God!

Your way, O God, is holy [far from sin and guilt].
What god is great like our God?
