The mountains were jumping like goats, and the little hills like lambs.

What was wrong with you, O sea, that you went in flight? O Jordan, that you were turned back?

You mountains, why were you jumping like goats, and you little hills like lambs?

Not to us, O Lord, not to us,
But to Your name give glory
Because of Your lovingkindness, because of Your truth and faithfulness.

Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?

But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.

Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.

The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children.

Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth.

The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD'S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.

The dead do not give praise to the Lord; or those who go down to the underworld.

I have given my love to the Lord, because he has given ear to the voice of my cry and my prayer.

Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.

The cords and sorrows of death encompassed me,
And the terrors of Sheol came upon me;
I found distress and sorrow.

Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.

Return to your rest, O my soul,
For the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.

I said in my haste, All men are liars.

What do I return to Jehovah? All His benefits are upon me.

O Lord, truly I am Your servant;
I am Your servant, the son of Your handmaid;
You have unfastened my chains.

in the courts of the LORD's house, in your midst, Jerusalem. Hallelujah!

For His lovingkindness prevails over us [and we triumph and overcome through Him],
And the truth of the Lord endures forever.
Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)

They are round me, yes, they are all about me; but in the name of the Lord I will have them cut down.

They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.

There are shouts of joy and victory
in the tents of the righteous:
“The Lord’s right hand performs valiantly!

This, is the gate for Yahweh, Such as are righteous, shall enter therein.

I will praise You; for You have heard me, and are my salvation.

This is the LORD'S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.

This is the day Jehovah hath made, We rejoice and are glad in it.

Send salvation now, O Lord; Lord, send us your blessing.

The LORD is God he will be our light! Bind the festival sacrifice with ropes to the horn at the altar.

You are my God, and I give thanks to You;
[You are] my God, I extol You.

ALEPH. Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.

Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.

You have ordained Your precepts,
That we should follow them with [careful] diligence.

O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!

Then I will not be ashamed
When I look [with respect] to all Your commandments [as my guide].

I will give thanks to You with an upright heart,
When I learn [through discipline] Your righteous judgments [for my transgressions].

I shall keep Your statutes;
Do not utterly abandon me [when I fail].

Beth.
How can a young man keep his way pure?
By keeping watch [on himself] according to Your word [conforming his life to Your precepts].

With all my heart I have sought Thee, Let me not err from Thy commands.

Your word I have treasured and stored in my heart,
That I may not sin against You.

Blessed and reverently praised are You, O Lord;
Teach me Your statutes.

With my lips I have told of
All the ordinances of Your mouth.

I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies,
As much as in all riches.

I will meditate on Your precepts
And [thoughtfully] regard Your ways [the path of life established by Your precepts].

I will delight in Your statutes;
I will not forget Your word.

Gimel.
Deal bountifully with Your servant,
That I may live and keep Your word [treasuring it and being guided by it day by day].

Open my eyes [to spiritual truth] so that I may behold
Wonderful things from Your law.

I am a stranger on the earth;
Do not hide Your commandments from me.

My soul is crushed with longing
For Your ordinances at all times.

Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy commandments.

Take reproach and contempt away from me,
For I observe Your testimonies.

Even though princes sit and talk to one another against me,
Your servant meditates on Your statutes.

Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counsellers.

Daleth.
My earthly life clings to the dust;
Revive and refresh me according to Your word.

I have told of my ways, and You have answered me;
Teach me Your statutes.

Make me understand the way of Your precepts,
So that I will meditate (focus my thoughts) on Your wonderful works.

My soul dissolves because of grief;
Renew and strengthen me according to [the promises of] Your word.

Remove from me the way of falsehood and unfaithfulness,
And graciously grant me Your law.

I have chosen the faithful way;
I have placed Your ordinances before me.

I cling tightly to Your testimonies;
O Lord, do not put me to shame!

I will run the way of Your commandments [with purpose],
For You will give me a heart that is willing.

He.
Teach me, O Lord, the way of Your statutes,
And I will [steadfastly] observe it to the end.

Give me understanding [a teachable heart and the ability to learn], that I may keep Your law;
And observe it with all my heart.

Make me walk in the path of Your commandments,
For I delight in it.

Incline my heart to Your testimonies
And not to dishonest gain and envy.

Turn my eyes away from vanity [all those worldly, meaningless things that distract—let Your priorities be mine],
And restore me [with renewed energy] in Your ways.

Establish Your word and confirm Your promise to Your servant,
As that which produces [awe-inspired] reverence for You.

Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments are good.

I long for Your precepts;
Renew me through Your righteousness.

Vav.
May Your lovingkindness also come to me, O Lord,
Your salvation according to Your promise;

So I will have an answer for the one who taunts me,
For I trust [completely] in Your word [and its reliability].

And do not take the word of truth utterly out of my mouth,
For I wait for Your ordinances.

I will keep Your law continually,
Forever and ever [writing Your precepts on my heart].

And I will walk at liberty,
For I seek and deeply long for Your precepts.

I will also speak of Your testimonies before kings
And shall not be ashamed.

For I shall delight in Your commandments,
Which I love.

And I shall lift up my hands to Your commandments,
Which I love;
And I will meditate on Your statutes.

Zayin.
Remember [always] the word and promise to Your servant,
In which You have made me hope.

This is my comfort in my affliction,
That Your word has revived me and given me life.

The arrogant utterly ridicule me,
Yet I do not turn away from Your law.

I have remembered [carefully] Your ancient ordinances, O Lord,
And I have taken comfort.

Burning indignation has seized me because of the wicked,
Who reject Your law.

Your statutes are my songs
In the house of my pilgrimage.

O Lord, I remember Your name in the night,
And keep Your law.

This has become mine [as the gift of Your grace],
That I observe Your precepts [accepting them with loving obedience].

Heth.
The Lord is my portion;
I have promised to keep Your words.

I sought Your favor with all my heart;
Be merciful and gracious to me according to Your promise.

I considered my ways
And turned my feet to [follow and obey] Your testimonies.

I hurried and did not delay
To keep Your commandments.

The cords of the wicked have encircled and ensnared me,
But I have not forgotten Your law.

At midnight I will rise to give thanks to You
Because of Your righteous ordinances.

I am a companion of all who [reverently] fear You,
And of those who keep and honor Your precepts.

The earth, O Lord, is full of Your lovingkindness and goodness;
Teach me Your statutes.

Teth.
You have dealt well with Your servant,
O Lord, according to Your promise.

Teach me good judgment (discernment) and knowledge,
For I have believed and trusted and relied on Your commandments.

Before I was afflicted I went astray,
But now I keep and honor Your word [with loving obedience].

You are good and do good;
Teach me Your statutes.

The arrogant have forged a lie against me,
But I will keep Your precepts with all my heart.
