Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion!
When the Lord restores His captive people,
Then Jacob will rejoice, Israel will be glad.

May the Lord answer you (David) in the day of trouble!
May the name of the God of Jacob set you securely on high [and defend you in battle]!

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.

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],

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.

For they have devoured Jacob
And made his pasture desolate.

Sing aloud to God our strength;
Shout for joy to the God of Jacob (Israel).

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

O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer;
Listen, O God of Jacob! Selah.

O Lord, You have [at last] shown favor to Your land [of Canaan];
You have restored [from Babylon] the captives of Jacob (Israel).

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

Yet they say, “The Lord does not see,
Nor does the God of Jacob (Israel) notice it.”

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

O you offspring of Abraham, His servant,
O you sons of Jacob, His chosen ones!

Which He confirmed to Jacob as a statute,
To Israel as an everlasting covenant,

Israel also came into Egypt;
Thus Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

When Israel came out of Egypt,
The house of Jacob from a people of strange language,

Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord,
At the presence of the God of Jacob (Israel),

How he swore to the Lord
And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

Until I find a place for the Lord,
A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob (Israel).”

For the Lord has chosen [the descendants of] Jacob for Himself,
Israel for His own special treasure and possession.

How blessed and graciously favored is he whose help is the God of Jacob (Israel),
Whose hope is in the Lord his God,

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