To the Overseer. -- By sons of Korah. An Instruction. O God, with our ears we have heard, Our fathers have recounted to us, The work Thou didst work in their days, In the days of old.

And let the pleasantness of Jehovah our God be upon us, And the work of our hands establish on us, Yea, the work of our hands establish it!

For Thou hast caused me to rejoice, O Jehovah, in Thy work, Concerning the works of Thy hands I sing.

To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. The heavens are recounting the honour of God, And the work of His hands The expanse is declaring.

For I see Thy heavens, a work of Thy fingers, Moon and stars that Thou didst establish.

Jehovah hath been known, Judgment He hath done, By a work of his hands Hath the wicked been snared. Meditation. Selah.

All glory is the daughter of the king within, Of gold-embroidered work is her clothing.

Give to them according to their acting, And according to the evil of their doings. According to the work of their hands give to them. Return their deed to them.

For they attend not to the doing of Jehovah, And unto the work of His hands. He throweth them down, And doth not build them up.

For upright is the word of Jehovah, And all His work is in faithfulness.
