Wherefore did the nations rage, and the peoples will meditate emptiness?

O Jehovah my God, if I did this, if there is iniquity in my hand;

And Jehovah was known by the judgment he did: by the work of his hands the unjust was snared. Meditation. Silence.

For what did the unjust one despise God, saying in his heart, Thou wilt not search?

If the pillars shall be pulled down, what did the just one?

Did not the workers of vanity know? eating my people they ate bread; they called not Jehovah.

Thou wilt make broad my steps under me and my joints did not waver.

Magnifying the salvation of his king; and he did mercy to his anointed, and to David and to his seed even to forever.

I was forgotten as the dead from the heart: I was a vessel perishing.

All this came to us, and we did not forget thee, and we lied not in thy covenant

Against thee, thee alone, did I sin, and I did evil in thine eyes: so that thou wilt be justified in thy speaking, and thou wilt be pure in thy judging.

Behold, I was born in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.

Did not those transgressing know any thing? eating up my people, they ate bread: they called not upon God.

Come, hear, and I will recount, all ye fearing God, what he did for my soul

And they said, How did God know? and is there knowledge in the Most High?

Did his mercy fail forever? his word come to an end to generation and generation?

Did God forget to compassionate? or in anger did he gather his compassion? Silence.

It was not hid from their sons, to a later generation recounting the praises of Jehovah and his strength, and his wonders which he did.

Before their fathers he did a wonder in the land of Egypt, the field of loading.

Free among the dead, as they wounded lying down in the grave, whom thou no more didst remember them, and they were cut off by thy hand.

Wilt thou do wonder to the dead? if the shades shall arise, shall they praise thee? Silence.

Once did I swear in my holy place if I shall lie to David.

Chanting. Sing ye to Jehovah a new song, for he did wonders: his right hand saved for him, and his holy arm.

From the voice of my groaning my bone did cleave to my flesh.

Jehovah did justices and judgments to all being oppressed.

He did not to us according to our sins, and he did not recompense upon us according to our iniquities.

Remember his wonders which he did; his signs and the judgments of his mouth.

We sinned with our fathers, we acted perversely, we did evil.

And they will be bound to Baalpeor, and they will eat the sacrifices of the dead.

They did not destroy the peoples which Jehovah said to them.

He shall judge in the nations; he filled with dead bodies: he crushed the head over much land.

And our God is in the heavens; did all that he delighted in.

The dead shall not praise Jah, and all going down to silence.

A voice of rejoicing and salvation in the tents of the just the right hand of Jehovah did strength.

The right hand of Jehovah was exalted: the right hand of Jehovah did strength.

My soul did cleave to the dust: make me alive according to thy word.

I did judgment and justice: thou wilt not leave me to those oppressing me.

I am small and despised: I did not forget thy charges.

I hoped for thy salvation, O Jehovah, and I did thy commands.

If I did not place and rest my soul as a child weaned of his Mother: my soul as a weaned child.

All which Jehovah delighted in he did, in the heavens and in the earth, in the seas and all the depths.

For the enemy pursued my soul; he crushed to the earth my life; he caused me to dwell in darknesses, as the dead of old.

He did judgment for the oppressed; he gave bread to the hungering: Jehovah loosed those being bound.

He did not thus to every nation: and judgments they knew them not Praise ye Jah.
