For He established a testimony (a specific precept) in Jacob
And appointed a law in Israel,
Which He commanded our fathers
That they should teach to their children [the great facts of God’s transactions with Israel],

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.

This is the generation (description) of those who diligently seek Him and require Him as their greatest need,
Who seek Your face, even [as did] Jacob. Selah.

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

The Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold [our refuge, our high tower]. Selah.

The Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold [our refuge, our high tower]. Selah.

He chooses our inheritance for us,
The glory and excellence of Jacob whom He loves. Selah.

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.

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.

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

But as for me, I will declare it and rejoice forever;
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob,
Both rider and horse were cast into a dead sleep [of death].

You have with Your [great] arm redeemed Your people,
The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.

Therefore, when the Lord heard, He was full of wrath;
A fire was kindled against Jacob,
And His anger mounted up against Israel,

From tending the ewes with nursing young He brought him
To shepherd Jacob His people,
And Israel His inheritance.
