Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein;

Let the floods clap their hands; let the mountains sing for joy together,

Jehovah reigneth: let the peoples tremble. He sitteth between the cherubim: let the earth be moved.

{A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and poureth out his complaint before Jehovah.} Jehovah, hear my prayer, and let my cry come unto thee.

Covering thyself with light as with a garment, stretching out the heavens like a tent-curtain; --

He laid the earth upon its foundations: it shall not be removed for ever.

Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah.

Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;

The king sent and loosed him the ruler of peoples and let him go free.

He spread a cloud for a covering, and fire to give light in the night.

And he rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; and he led them through the deeps as through a wilderness.

Blessed be Jehovah the God of Israel, from eternity and to eternity! And let all the people say, Amen! Hallelujah!

Let the redeemed of Jehovah say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the oppressor,

And he led them forth by a right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.

Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous works to the children of men;

Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous works to the children of men;

Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous works to the children of men,

And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works in joyful song.

Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous works to the children of men;

Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the session of the elders.

Whoso is wise, let him observe these things, and let them understand the loving-kindnesses of Jehovah.

Awake, lute and harp: I will wake the dawn.

Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me unto Edom?

Set a wicked man over him, and let the adversary stand at his right hand;

When he shall be judged, let him go out guilty, and let his prayer become sin;

Let his days be few, let another take his office;

Let his sons be fatherless, and his wife a widow;

Let his sons be vagabonds and beg, and let them seek their bread far from their desolate places;

Let the usurer cast the net over all that he hath, and let strangers despoil his labour;

Let there be none to extend kindness unto him, neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children;

Let his posterity be cut off; in the generation following let their name be blotted out:

Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with Jehovah, and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out;

Let them be before Jehovah continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth:

And he loved cursing; so let it come unto him. And he delighted not in blessing; and let it be far from him.

And he clothed himself with cursing like his vestment; so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones;

Let it be unto him as a garment with which he covereth himself, and for a girdle wherewith he is constantly girded.

Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from Jehovah, and of them that speak evil against my soul.

Let them curse, but bless thou; when they rise up, let them be ashamed, and let thy servant rejoice.

Let mine adversaries be clothed with confusion, and let them cover themselves with their shame as with a mantle.

Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness; he is gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same, let Jehovah's name be praised.

Praise Jehovah, all ye nations; laud him, all ye peoples;

Oh let Israel say, that his loving-kindness endureth for ever.

Oh let the house of Aaron say, that his loving-kindness endureth for ever.

Oh let them that fear Jehovah say, that his loving-kindness endureth for ever.

Jehovah is God, and he hath given us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, up to the horns of the altar.

With my whole heart have I sought thee: let me not wander from thy commandments.

I cleave unto thy testimonies; Jehovah, let me not be ashamed.

VAU. And let thy loving-kindness come unto me, O Jehovah, thy salvation according to thy word.

Oh let thy loving-kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant.

Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live; for thy law is my delight.

Let the proud be ashamed; for they have acted perversely towards me with falsehood: as for me, I meditate in thy precepts.

Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that know thy testimonies.

Let my heart be perfect in thy statutes, that I be not ashamed.

NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

The wicked have laid a snare for me; but I have not wandered from thy precepts.

Uphold me according to thy word, that I may live; and let me not be ashamed of my hope.

Be surety for thy servant for good; let not the proud oppress me.

The entrance of thy words giveth light, giving understanding unto the simple.

Establish my steps in thy word; and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.

TAU. Let my cry come near before thee, Jehovah: give me understanding according to thy word.

Let my supplication come before thee: deliver me according to thy word.

Let thy hand be for my help; for I have chosen thy precepts.

Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me.

{A Song of degrees. Of David.} I rejoiced when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of Jehovah.

{A Song of degrees. Of David.} If it had not been Jehovah who was for us oh let Israel say --

For the sceptre of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.

But as for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, Jehovah will lead them forth with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel!

It is vain for you to rise up early, to lie down late, to eat the bread of sorrows: so to his beloved one he giveth sleep.

{A Song of degrees.} Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth oh let Israel say --

Let them be ashamed and turned backward, all that hate Zion;

Let them be as the grass upon the house-tops, which withereth before it is plucked up,

Lord, hear my voice; let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.

Let Israel hope in Jehovah, because with Jehovah there is loving-kindness, and with him is plenteous redemption;

Let Israel hope in Jehovah, from henceforth and for evermore.

Let us go into his habitations, let us worship at his footstool.

Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness, and let thy saints shout for joy.

To him that led his people through the wilderness, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever;

If I forget thee, Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill;

If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to my palate: if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.

Daughter of Babylon, who art to be laid waste, happy he that rendereth unto thee that which thou hast meted out to us.

Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thy hand upon me.

Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

And if I say, Surely darkness shall cover me, and the light about me be night;

Even darkness hideth not from thee, and the night shineth as the day: the darkness is as the light.

And see if there be any grievous way in me; and lead me in the way everlasting.

As for the head of those that encompass me, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

Let burning coals fall on them; let them be cast into the fire; into deep waters, that they rise not up again.

Let not the man of evil tongue be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the man of violence to his ruin.

Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense, the lifting up of my hands as the evening oblation.

Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise deeds of wickedness with men that are workers of iniquity; and let me not eat of their dainties.

Let the righteous smite me, it is kindness; and let him reprove me, it is an excellent oil which my head shall not refuse: for yet my prayer also is for them in their calamities.

Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, and from the traps of the workers of iniquity.

Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal pass over.

Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: let thy good Spirit lead me in a plain country.

O God, I will sing a new song unto thee; with the ten-stringed lute will I sing psalms unto thee:

One generation shall laud thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.

My mouth shall speak the praise of Jehovah; and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.

Laud Jehovah, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.

Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all ye stars of light.
