I wish the deliverance of Israel would come from Zion! When the Lord restores the well-being of his people, may Jacob rejoice, may Israel be happy!

But You are holy,
O You who are enthroned in [the holy place where] the praises of Israel [are offered].

You who fear the Lord [with awe-inspired reverence], praise Him!
All you descendants of Jacob, honor Him.
Fear Him [with submissive wonder], all you descendants of Israel.

O God, redeem Israel,
Out of all his troubles.

Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
From everlasting to everlasting [from this age to the next, and forever].
Amen and Amen (so be it).

You drove out the [pagan] nations with Your own hand;
Then you planted and established them (Israel);
[It was by Your power that] You uprooted the [pagan] peoples,
Then You spread them abroad.

You are my King, O God;
Command victories and deliverance for Jacob (Israel).

“Hear, O My people, and I will speak;
O Israel, I will testify against you:
I am God, your God.

Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion!
When God restores [the fortunes of] His people,
Let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.

You, O Lord God, the invincible warrior, the God of Israel, rouse yourself and punish all the nations! Have no mercy on any treacherous evildoers! (Selah)

Destroy them in wrath, destroy them so that they may be no more;
Let them know that God rules over Jacob (Israel)
To the ends of the earth. Selah.

He turned the sea into dry land. Israel crossed the river on foot; let us rejoice in him.

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, you poured out abundant rain on your inheritance. When Israel was weary, you sustained her.

When you lie down [to rest] among the sheepfolds,
You [Israel] are like the wings of a dove [of victory] overlaid with silver,
Its feathers glistening with gold [trophies taken from the enemy].

The war-carriage of God is among Israel's thousands; the Lord has come from Sinai to the holy place.

Bless God in the congregations, [give thanks, gratefully praise Him],
The Lord, you who are from [Jacob] the fountain of Israel.

Ascribe strength to God;
His majesty is over Israel
And His strength is in the skies.

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!

Do not let those who wait [confidently] for You be ashamed through me, O Lord God of hosts;
Do not let those who seek You [as necessary for life itself] be dishonored through me, O God of Israel,

I will express my thanks to you with a stringed instrument, praising your faithfulness, O my God! I will sing praises to you accompanied by a harp, O Holy One of Israel!

The Lord God, the God of Israel, deserves praise! He alone accomplishes amazing things!

A psalm by Asaph. Certainly God is good to Israel, and to those whose motives are pure!

{To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm or Song of Asaph.} In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel.

And I said, “This is my grief,
That the right hand of the Most High has changed [and His lovingkindness is withheld].”

For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children:

Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;

The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.

Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.

He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:

He also handed His people over to the sword,
And was infuriated with His inheritance (Israel).

But He chose the tribe of Judah [as Israel’s leader],
Mount Zion, which He loved [to replace Shiloh as His capital].

From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.

{To the chief Musician upon ShoshannimEduth, A Psalm of Asaph.} Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.

You uprooted a vine (Israel) from Egypt;
You drove out the [Canaanite] nations and planted the vine [in Canaan].

Israel sent out its branches to the [Mediterranean] Sea,
And its branches to the [Euphrates] River.

For observing the festival is a requirement for Israel; it is an ordinance given by the God of Jacob.

I said, 'Listen, my people! I will warn you! O Israel, if only you would obey me!

But my people did not obey me; Israel did not submit to me.

If only my people would obey me! If only Israel would keep my commands!

Those who hate the Lord would pretend obedience to Him and cringe before Him,
And their time of punishment would be forever.

"I would feed Israel the best wheat, and would satisfy your appetite with honey from the rocky cliffs."

They say, "Come on, let's annihilate them so they are no longer a nation! Then the name of Israel will be remembered no more."

The Lord loves the gates of Zion
More than all the dwellings of Jacob (Israel).

For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.

Once You spoke in a vision to Your godly ones,
And said, “I have given help to one who is mighty [giving him the power to be a champion for Israel];
I have exalted one chosen from the people.

He hath remembered his mercy and truth toward the house of Israel: so that all the ends of the world see the salvation of our God.

The strength of the King loves justice and righteous judgment;
You have established fairness;
You have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob (Israel).

He showed his ways unto Moses, and his works unto the children of Israel.

and appointed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting testament;

Israel also came into Egypt, and Jacob was a stranger in the land of Ham.

Then he brought Israel out with silver and gold, and no one among his tribes stumbled.

The Egyptians rejoiced when they left, because fear of Israel descended on them.

Israel asked, and quail came; food from heaven satisfied them.

Then Israel believed in [the validity of] His words;
They sang His praise.

He also made them objects of compassion
Among those who had carried them away captive.

Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and world without end. And let all people say, "Amen, Amen." Praise the everlasting! Hallelujah!

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

Judah was his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

But let Israel trust in the LORD, for he is their succor and defense.

The LORD is mindful of us, and blesseth us - he blesseth the house of Israel; he blesseth the house of Aaron;

Let Israel now confess, that his mercy endureth forever.

Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

For there the tribes go up, even the tribes of the LORD, to testify unto Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.

{A song of the stairs} If the LORD himself had not been on our side - now may Israel say -

As for such as turn back unto their own wickedness, the LORD shall lead them forth with the evil doers; but peace shall be upon Israel.

Yea, that thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel.

{A song of the stairs} Many a time have they fought against me from my youth up, may Israel now say.

O Israel, trust in the LORD; for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.

And he shall redeem Israel from all his sins.

O Israel, trust in the LORD, from this time forth for evermore.

For why? The LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his own possession.

and gave their land for a heritage, for a heritage unto Israel his people.

Praise the LORD, ye house of Israel; praise the LORD, ye house of Aaron.

And brought out Israel from among them! For his mercy endureth forever.

And made Israel to go through the midst of it! For his mercy endureth forever.

Even for a heritage unto Israel his servant! For his mercy endureth forever.

The Lord builds up Jerusalem;
He gathers the outcasts of Israel.

He declares His words to Jacob,
His statutes and His ordinances to Israel.

And He has lifted up a horn for His people,
Praise for all His godly ones;
Even for the sons of Israel, a people near to Him.
Praise the Lord!

Let Israel be glad in his Maker;
Let the sons of Zion rejoice in their King.
