If one turn not, he will sharpen his sword; he hath bent his bow and made it ready,

And he hath prepared for him instruments of death; his arrows hath he made burning.

He digged a pit, and hollowed it out, and is fallen into the hole that he made.

Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and splendour.

Thou hast made him to rule over the works of thy hands; thou hast put everything under his feet:

The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made; in the net that they hid is their own foot taken.

The bands of death encompassed me, and torrents of Belial made me afraid.

He made darkness his secret place, his tent round about him: darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.

He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me; for they were mightier than I.

And thou didst give me the shield of thy salvation, and thy right hand held me up; and thy condescending gentleness hath made me great.

Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; thou hast made me the head of the nations: a people I knew not doth serve me.

For thou hast met him with the blessings of goodness; thou hast set a crown of pure gold on his head.

For thou hast made him to be blessings for ever; thou hast filled him with joy by thy countenance.

{A Psalm of David: dedication-song of the house.} I will extol thee, Jehovah; for thou hast delivered me, and hast not made mine enemies to rejoice over me.

Jehovah, by thy favour thou hadst made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face; I was troubled.

By the word of Jehovah were the heavens made, and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

Behold, thou hast made my days as hand-breadths, and my lifetime is as nothing before thee; verily, every man, even the high placed, is altogether vanity. Selah.

Blessed is the man that hath made Jehovah his confidence, and turneth not to the proud, and to such as turn aside to lies.

Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive; he shall be made happy in the land; and thou wilt not deliver him to the will of his enemies.

Thou hast made us to turn back from the adversary, and they that hate us spoil for themselves;

Thou hast given us over like sheep appointed for meat, and hast scattered us among the nations;

Myrrh and aloes, cassia, are all thy garments; out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee glad.

Come, behold the works of Jehovah, what desolations he hath made in the earth:

He hath made wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariots in the fire.

Gather unto me my godly ones, those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice!

Behold the man that made not God his strength, but put confidence in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his avarice.

They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to meet me, and behold.

God, whose loving-kindness will come to meet me, God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies.

They shall wander about for meat, and stay all night if they be not satisfied.

Thou hast made the earth to tremble, thou hast rent it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.

Thou hast shewn thy people hard things; thou hast made us to drink the wine of bewilderment.

God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

By their own tongue they are made to fall over one another: all that see them shall flee away.

Terrible art thou, O God, out of thy sanctuaries, the God of Israel! He it is that giveth strength and might unto the people. Blessed be God!

And I made sackcloth my garment: then I became a proverb to them.

I will go in the might of the Lord Jehovah; I will recall thy righteousness, thine alone.

Now also, when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not, until I have proclaimed thine arm unto this generation, thy might to every one that is to come.

And he shall live; and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba; and prayer shall be made for him continually: all the day shall he be blessed.

How are they suddenly made desolate! they pass away, consumed with terrors.

Thou didst break in pieces the heads of leviathan, thou gavest him to be meat to those that people the desert.

The stout-hearted are made a spoil, they have slept their sleep; and none of the men of might have found their hands.

That the generation to come might know them, the children that should be born; that they might rise up and tell them to their children,

And that they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but observe his commandments;

And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that prepared not their heart, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.

He clave the sea, and caused them to pass through; and made the waters to stand as a heap;

And they tempted God in their heart, by asking meat for their lust;

They were not alienated from their lust, their meat was yet in their mouths,

He made a way for his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;

And he made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock;

And he drove out the nations before them, and allotted them for an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows made no lamentation.

The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowl of the heavens, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth:

Remember not against us the iniquities of our forefathers; let thy tender mercies speedily come to meet us: for we are brought very low.

Thou hast made us a strife unto our neighbours, and our enemies mock among themselves.

Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou hast made strong for thyself.

For they have consulted together with one heart: they have made an alliance together against thee.

Loving-kindness and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other:

All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord, and shall glorify thy name.

Thou hast put my familiar friends far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.

I have made a covenant with mine elect, I have sworn unto David my servant:

Thine is the arm of might: strong is thy hand, high is thy right hand.

Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant; thou hast profaned his crown to the ground:

Thou hast exalted the right hand of his oppressors; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice:

Yea, thou hast turned back the edge of his sword, and hast not made him stand in the battle.

Thou hast made his brightness to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground;

Because thou hast made Jehovah, my refuge, the Most High, thy dwelling-place,

For thou, Jehovah, hast made me glad through thy work; I will triumph in the works of thy hands.

Jehovah on high is mightier than the voices of many waters, than the mighty breakers of the sea.

The sea is his, and he made it, and his hands formed the dry land.

For all the gods of the peoples are idols; but Jehovah made the heavens.

Jehovah hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the nations.

Know that Jehovah is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

Mine enemies reproach me all the day; they that are mad against me swear by me.

He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.

He made the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth its going down.

How manifold are thy works, O Jehovah! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.

Which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac;

He made him lord of his house, and ruler over all his possessions:

And he made his people exceeding fruitful, and made them mightier than their oppressors.

He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.

That they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Hallelujah!

Yet he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make known his might.

They made a calf in Horeb, and did homage to a molten image;

And he led them forth by a right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.

God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

Jehovah shall send the sceptre of thy might out of Zion: rule in the midst of thine enemies.

He hath made his wonders to be remembered: Jehovah is gracious and merciful.

He hath given meat unto them that fear him; he is ever mindful of his covenant.

Ye are blessed of Jehovah, who made the heavens and the earth.

Thou hast thrust hard at me that I might fall; but Jehovah helped me.

This is the day that Jehovah hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Thy word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against thee.

I have made haste, and not delayed, to keep thy commandments.

It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I might learn thy statutes.

YOD. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, and I will learn thy commandments.

I have refrained my feet from every evil path, that I might keep thy word.

It is time for Jehovah to work: they have made void thy law.

My help cometh from Jehovah, who made the heavens and the earth.

The ploughers ploughed upon my back; they made long their furrows.

To him that by understanding made the heavens, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever;
