I said, Ye are gods, And all of you sons of the Most High.

How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Jehovah of hosts!

Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: They will be still praising thee. Selah

Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; In whose heart are the highways to Zion .

Mercy and truth are met together; Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

There is none like unto thee among the gods, O Lord; Neither are there any works like unto thy works.

O God, the proud are risen up against me, And a company of violent men have sought after my soul, And have not set thee before them.

Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah

They that sing as well as they that dance'shall say , All my fountains are in thee.

Cast off among the dead, Like the slain that lie in the grave, Whom thou rememberest no more, And they are cut off from thy hand.

Wilt thou show wonders to the dead? Shall they that are decreased arise and praise thee? Selah

A God very terrible in the council of the holy ones, And to be feared above all them that are round about him?

The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: The world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of thy throne: Lovingkindness and truth go before thy face.

In thy name do they rejoice all the day; And in thy righteousness are they exalted.

Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, Which thou swarest unto David in thy faithfulness?

For a thousand years in thy sight Are but as yesterday when it is past, And as a watch in the night.

Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: In the morning they are like grass which groweth up.

For we are consumed in thine anger, And in thy wrath are we troubled.

For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: We bring our years to an end as a sigh.

The days of our years are threescore years and ten, Or even by reason of strength fourscore years; Yet is their pride but labor and sorrow; For it is soon gone, and we fly away.

How great are thy works, O Jehovah! Thy thoughts are very deep.

They are planted in the house of Jehovah; They shall flourish in the courts of our God.

Thy testimonies are very sure: Holiness becometh thy house, O Jehovah, for evermore.

Jehovah knoweth the thoughts of man, That they are vanity.

In his hand are the deep places of the earth; The heights of the mountains are his also.

For he is our God, And we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To-day, oh that ye would hear his voice!

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

Honor and majesty are before him: Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

Clouds and darkness are round about him: Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

Know ye that Jehovah, he is God: It is he that hath made us, and we are his; We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

For my days consume away like smoke, And my bones are burned as a firebrand.

Mine enemies reproach me all the day; They that are mad against me do curse by me.

My days are like a shadow that declineth; And I am withered like grass.

To hear the sighing of the prisoner; To loose those that are appointed to death;

When the peoples are gathered together, And the kingdoms, to serve Jehovah.

I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: Thy years are throughout all generations.

Of old didst thou lay the foundation of the earth; And the heavens are the work of thy hands.

Jehovah executeth righteous acts, And judgments for all that are oppressed.

For as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is his lovingkindness toward them that fear him.

For he knoweth our frame; He remembereth that we are dust.

As for man, his days are as grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

Bless Jehovah, ye his angels, That are mighty in strength, that fulfil his word, Hearkening unto the voice of his word.

The trees of Jehovah are filled with moisture , The cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;

Where the birds make their nests: As for the stork, the fir-trees are her house.

The high mountains are for the wild goats; The rocks are a refuge for the conies.

O Jehovah, how manifold are thy works! In wisdom hast thou made them all: The earth is full of thy riches.

Yonder is the sea, great and wide, Wherein are things creeping innumerable, Both small and great beasts.

Thou givest unto them, they gather; Thou openest thy hand, they are satisfied with good.

Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; Thou takest away their breath, they die, And return to their dust.

Thou sendest forth thy Spirit, they are created; And thou renewest the face of the ground.

He is Jehovah our God: His judgments are in all the earth.

Blessed are they that keep justice, And he that doeth righteousness at all times.

Fools because of their transgression, And because of their iniquities, are afflicted.

They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, And are at their wits end.

He maketh the storm a calm, So that the waves thereof are still.

Then are they glad because they are quiet; So he bringeth them unto their desired haven.

He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; And he suffereth not their cattle to decrease.

Again, they are diminished and bowed down Through oppression, trouble, and sorrow.

For my love they are my adversaries: But I give myself unto prayer.

My knees are weak through fasting; And my flesh faileth of fatness.

The works of Jehovah are great, Sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.

The works of his hands are truth and justice; All his precepts are sure.

They are established for ever and ever; They are done in truth and uprightness.

Wealth and riches are in his house; And his righteousness endureth for ever.

That humbleth himself to behold The things that are in heaven and in the earth?

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

Blessed are ye of Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth.

The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah; But the earth hath he given to the children of men.

I said in my haste, All men are liars.

They compassed me about like bees; They are quenched as the fire of thorns: In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off.

ALEPH. Blessed are they that are perfect in the way, Who walk in the law of Jehovah.

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

Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, That do wander from thy commandments.

Thy testimonies also are my delight And my counsellors.

Turn away my reproach whereof I am afraid; For thine ordinances are good.

I know, O Jehovah, that thy judgments are righteous, And that in faithfulness thou hast afflicted me.

How many are the days of thy servant? When wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?

The proud have digged pits for me, Who are not according to thy law.

All thy commandments are faithful: They persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.

They abide this day according to thine ordinances; For all things are thy servants.

Thy commandments make me wiser than mine enemies; For they are ever with me.

I have more understanding than all my teachers; For thy testimonies are my meditation.

How sweet are thy words unto my taste! Yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!

Thy testimonies have I taken as a heritage for ever; For they are the rejoicing of my heart.

SAMEKH. I hate them that are of a double mind; But thy law do I love.

PE. Thy testimonies are wonderful; Therefore doth my soul keep them.

TSADHE. Righteous art thou, O Jehovah, And upright are thy judgments.

Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me; Yet thy commandments are my delight.

Thy testimonies are righteous for ever: Give me understanding, and I shall live.

They draw nigh that follow after wickedness; They are far from thy law.

Thou art nigh, O Jehovah; And all thy commandments are truth.

Great are thy tender mercies, O Jehovah: Quicken me according to thine ordinances.

Many are my persecutors and mine adversaries; Yet have I not swerved from thy testimonies.

I have observed thy precepts and thy testimonies; For all my ways are before thee.

Let my tongue sing of thy word; For all thy commandments are righteousness.

I am for peace: But when I speak, they are for war.

Our feet are standing Within thy gates, O Jerusalem,

For there are set thrones for judgment, The thrones of the house of David.

Have mercy upon us, O Jehovah, have mercy upon us; For we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
