I would have fainted unless I had believed to see the goodness of Jehovah in the land of the living.

When I remember these things, I pour out my soul on me; for I had gone with the multitude; I went with them to the house of God with the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping the feast.

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba. Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your loving-kindness; according to the multitude of Your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.

And I, my foot had almost stumbled; my steps had nearly slipped.

And they forgot His works and His wonders which He had shown them.

though He had commanded the clouds from above, and had opened the doors of the heavens;

and had rained down manna on them to eat, and He gave them of the grain of the heavens.

how He had set His signs in Egypt, and His wonders in the fields of Zoan.

And He brought them within His own holy border, this mountain, which His right hand had bought.

Oh that My people had listened to Me, and Israel had walked in My ways!

For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than dwell in the tents of wickedness.

Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever You had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting You are God.

Unless Jehovah had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.

He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron whom He had chosen.

Egypt was glad when they departed; for the fear of them had fallen on them.

They forgot God their Deliverer, who had done great things in Egypt;

And He said that He would destroy them, if Moses His chosen had not stood before Him in the breach, to turn away His wrath, so that He should not destroy them.

They had almost finished me on earth; but I did not forsake Your Commandments.

Unless Your Law had been my delight, I should then have perished in my affliction.
