Oh, that Israel’s deliverance would come from Zion!
When the Lord restores the fortunes of His people,
Jacob will rejoice; Israel will be glad.

But You are holy,
enthroned on the praises of Israel.

You who fear Yahweh, praise Him!
All you descendants of Jacob, honor Him!
All you descendants of Israel, revere Him!

God, redeem Israel, from all its distresses.

May Yahweh, the God of Israel, be praised
from everlasting to everlasting.
Amen and amen.

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

Oh, that Israel’s deliverance would come from Zion!
When God restores the fortunes of His people,
Jacob will rejoice; Israel will be glad.

Lord God of Hosts, You are the God of Israel,
rise up to punish all the nations;
do not show grace to any wicked traitors.Selah

the earth trembled and the skies poured down rain
before God, the God of Sinai,
before God, the God of Israel.

Praise God in the assemblies;
praise the Lord from the fountain of Israel.

Ascribe power to God.
His majesty is over Israel,
His power among the clouds.

God, You are awe-inspiring in Your sanctuaries.
The God of Israel gives power and strength to His people.
May God be praised!

Do not let those who put their hope in You
be disgraced because of me,
Lord God of Hosts;
do not let those who seek You
be humiliated because of me,
God of Israel.

Therefore, I will praise You with a harp
for Your faithfulness, my God;
I will sing to You with a lyre,
Holy One of Israel.

May the Lord God, the God of Israel,
who alone does wonders, be praised.

BOOK III
(Psalms 73–89)A psalm of Asaph. God is indeed good to Israel,
to the pure in heart.

For the choir director: with stringed instruments. A psalm of Asaph. A song.God is known in Judah;
His name is great in Israel.

He established a testimony in Jacob
and set up a law in Israel,
which He commanded our fathers
to teach to their children

Therefore, the Lord heard and became furious;
then fire broke out against Jacob,
and anger flared up against Israel

God’s anger flared up against them,
and He killed some of their best men.
He struck down Israel’s choice young men.

They constantly tested God
and provoked the Holy One of Israel.

He drove out nations before them.
He apportioned their inheritance by lot
and settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.

God heard and became furious;
He completely rejected Israel.

He brought him from tending ewes
to be shepherd over His people Jacob—
over Israel, His inheritance.

For the choir director: according to “The Lilies.” A testimony of Asaph. A psalm.Listen, Shepherd of Israel,
who leads Joseph like a flock;
You who sit enthroned on the cherubim,
rise up

For this is a statute for Israel,
a judgment of the God of Jacob.

Listen, My people, and I will admonish you.
Israel, if you would only listen to Me!

“But My people did not listen to Me;
Israel did not obey Me.

If only My people would listen to Me
and Israel would follow My ways,

But He would feed Israel with the best wheat.
“I would satisfy you with honey from the rock.”

They say, “Come, let us wipe them out as a nation
so that Israel’s name will no longer be remembered.”

Surely our shield belongs to the Lord,
our king to the Holy One of Israel.

He has remembered His love
and faithfulness to the house of Israel;
all the ends of the earth
have seen our God’s victory.

He revealed His ways to Moses,
His deeds to the people of Israel.

and confirmed to Jacob as a decree
and to Israel as an everlasting covenant:

Then Israel went to Egypt;
Jacob lived as a foreigner in the land of Ham.

Then He brought Israel out with silver and gold,
and no one among His tribes stumbled.

Egypt was glad when they left,
for the dread of Israel had fallen on them.

May Yahweh, the God of Israel, be praised
from everlasting to everlasting.
Let all the people say, “Amen!”
Hallelujah!

When Israel came out of Egypt—
the house of Jacob from a people
who spoke a foreign language—

Judah became His sanctuary,
Israel, His dominion.

Israel, trust in the Lord!
He is their help and shield.

The Lord remembers us and will bless us.
He will bless the house of Israel;
He will bless the house of Aaron;

Let Israel say,
“His faithful love endures forever.”

Indeed, the Protector of Israel
does not slumber or sleep.

where the tribes, Yahweh’s tribes, go up
to give thanks to the name of Yahweh.
(This is an ordinance for Israel.)

A Davidic song of ascents.If the Lord had not been on our side—
let Israel say—

But as for those who turn aside to crooked ways,
the Lord will banish them with the evildoers.

Peace be with Israel.

and will see your children’s children!

Peace be with Israel.

A song of ascents.Since my youth they have often attacked me—
let Israel say—

Israel, put your hope in the Lord.
For there is faithful love with the Lord,
and with Him is redemption in abundance.

And He will redeem Israel
from all its sins.

Israel, put your hope in the Lord,
both now and forever.

For Yahweh has chosen Jacob for Himself,
Israel as His treasured possession.

He gave their land as an inheritance,
an inheritance to His people Israel.

House of Israel, praise Yahweh!
House of Aaron, praise Yahweh!

and brought Israel out from among them
        His love is eternal.

and led Israel through,
        His love is eternal.

an inheritance to Israel His servant.
        His love is eternal.

The Lord rebuilds Jerusalem;
He gathers Israel’s exiled people.

He declares His word to Jacob,
His statutes and judgments to Israel.

Let Israel celebrate its Maker;
let the children of Zion rejoice in their King.
