Look from me, and I brighten up before I go and am not!

And He doth cause me to come up From a pit of desolation -- from mire of mud, And He raiseth up on a rock my feet, He is establishing my steps.

For thou art the God of my strength. Why hast Thou cast me off? Why mourning do I go up and down, In the oppression of an enemy?

Stir up -- why dost Thou sleep, O Lord? Awake, cast us not off for ever.

God hath gone up with a shout, Jehovah with the sound of a trumpet.

And to the wicked hath God said: What to thee -- to recount My statutes? That thou liftest up My covenant on thy mouth?

For strangers have risen up against me And terrible ones have sought my soul, They have not set God before them. Selah.

Swallow up, O Lord, divide their tongue, For I saw violence and strife in a city.

To the Overseer. -- 'On the Dumb Dove far off.' -- A secret treasure of David, in the Philistines' taking hold of him in Gath. Favour me, O God, for man swallowed me up, All the day fighting he oppresseth me,

Mine enemies have swallowed up all the day, For many are fighting against me, O most High,

They are melted as waters, They go up and down for themselves, His arrow proceedeth as they cut themselves off.

Without punishment they run and prepare themselves, Stir up to meet me, and see.

Thou hast given to those fearing thee an ensign. To be lifted up as an ensign Because of truth. Selah.

Only -- vanity are the low, a lie the high. In balances to go up they than vanity are lighter.

So I bless Thee in my life, in Thy name I lift up my hands.

Its ridges have been filled, Deepened hath been its furrow, With showers Thou dost soften it, Its springing up Thou blessest.

Sing ye to God -- praise His name, Raise up a highway for Him who is riding in deserts, In Jah is His name, and exult before Him.

And I weep in the fasting of my soul, And it is for a reproach to me.

Let not a flood of waters overflow me, Nor let the deep swallow me up, Nor let the pit shut her mouth upon me.

Because Thou hast showed me many and sad distresses, Thou turnest back -- Thou revivest me, And from the depths of the earth, Thou turnest back -- Thou bringest me up.

Lift up Thy steps to the perpetual desolations, Everything the enemy did wickedly in the sanctuary.

Thou hast cleaved a fountain and a stream, Thou hast dried up perennial flowings.

Thou hast set up all the borders of earth, Summer and winter Thou hast formed them.

Give not up to a company, The soul of Thy turtle-dove, The company of Thy poor ones forget not for ever.

Forget not the voice of Thine adversaries, The noise of Thy withstanders is going up continually!

I have said to the boastful, 'Be not boastful,' And to the wicked, 'Raise not up a horn.'

Raise not up on high your horn, (Ye speak with a stiff neck.)

But God is judge, This He maketh low -- and this He lifteth up.

Hath God forgotten His favours? Hath He shut up in anger His mercies? Selah.

Poured out waters have thick clouds, The skies have given forth a noise, Also -- Thine arrows go up and down.

And He raiseth up a testimony in Jacob, And a law hath placed in Israel, That He commanded our fathers, To make them known to their sons.

Therefore hath Jehovah heard, And He sheweth Himself wroth, And fire hath been kindled against Jacob, And anger also hath gone up against Israel,

And the anger of God hath gone up against them, And He slayeth among their fat ones, And youths of Israel He caused to bend.

And He -- the Merciful One, Pardoneth iniquity, and destroyeth not, And hath often turned back His anger, And waketh not up all His fury.

And delivereth up to the hail their beasts, And their cattle to the burning flames.

He pondereth a path for His anger, He kept not back their soul from death, Yea, their life to the pestilence He delivered up.

And delivereth up to the sword His people, And with His inheritance shewed Himself angry.

His priests by the sword have fallen, And their widows weep not.

Before Ephraim, and Benjamin, and Manasseh, Wake up Thy might, and come for our salvation.

Lift up a song, and give out a timbrel, A pleasant harp with psaltery.

I am Jehovah thy God, Who bringeth thee up out of the land of Egypt. Enlarge thy mouth, and I fill it.

Till when do ye judge perversely? And the face of the wicked lift up? Selah.

For, lo, Thine enemies do roar, And those hating Thee have lifted up the head,

Thou hast gathered up all Thy wrath, Thou hast turned back from the fierceness of Thine anger.

Truth from the earth springeth up, And righteousness from heaven looketh out,

Rejoice the soul of Thy servant, For unto Thee, O Lord, my soul I lift up.

O God, the proud have risen up against me, And a company of the terrible sought my soul, And have not placed Thee before them,

Thou hast put mine acquaintance far from me, Thou hast made me an abomination to them, Shut up -- I go not forth.

Thou art ruler over the pride of the sea, In the lifting up of its billows Thou dost restrain them.

On the hands they bear thee up, Lest thou smite against a stone thy foot.

And mine eye looketh on mine enemies, Of those rising up against me, The evil doers, do mine ears hear.

Floods have lifted up, O Jehovah, Floods have lifted up their voice, Floods lift up their breakers.

Be lifted up, O Judge of the earth, Send back a recompence on the proud.

Who riseth up for me with evil doers? Who stationeth himself for me with workers of iniquity?

Ascribe to Jehovah the honour of His name, Lift up a present and come in to His courts.

From Thine indignation and Thy wrath, For Thou hast lifted me up, And dost cast me down.

I say, 'My God, take me not up in the midst of my days,' Through all generations are Thine years.

They go up hills -- they go down valleys, Unto a place Thou hast founded for them.

Causing grass to spring up for cattle, And herb for the service of man, To bring forth bread from the earth,

And they go up and down, from nation unto nation, From a kingdom unto another people.

And rebuketh the sea of Suph, and it is dried up, And causeth them to go Through depths as a wilderness.

Earth openeth, and swalloweth up Dathan, And covereth over the company of Abiram.

And He lifteth up His hand to them, To cause them to fall in a wilderness,

And He saith, and appointeth a tempest, And it lifteth up its billows,

They go up to the heavens, they go down to the depths, Their soul in evil is melted.

They reel to and fro, and move as a drunkard, And all their wisdom is swallowed up.

From a brook in the way he drinketh, Therefore he doth lift up the head!

He is raising up from the dust the poor, From a dunghill He exalteth the needy.

The cup of salvation I lift up, And in the name of Jehovah I call.

Jah hath sorely chastened me, And to death hath not given me up.

And I lift up my hands unto Thy commands, That I have loved, And I do meditate on Thy statutes!

Lamed. To the age, O Jehovah, Thy word is set up in the heavens.

A Song of the Ascents. I lift up mine eyes unto the hills, Whence doth my help come?

For thither have tribes gone up, Tribes of Jah, companies of Israel, To give thanks to the name of Jehovah.

A Song of the Ascents. Unto Thee I have lifted up mine eyes, O dweller in the heavens.

Save for Jehovah -- who hath been for us, In the rising up of man against us,

Then alive they had swallowed us up, In the burning of their anger against us,

'If I enter into the tent of my house, If I go up on the couch of my bed,

There I cause to spring up a horn for David, I have arranged a lamp for Mine anointed.

Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, And bless ye Jehovah.

Thou -- Thou hast known my sitting down, And my rising up, Thou hast attended to my thoughts from afar.

Who exchange Thee for wickedness, Lifted up to vanity are Thine enemies.

My prayer is prepared -- incense before Thee, The lifting up of my hands -- the evening present.

As one tilling and ripping up in the land, Have our bones been scattered at the command of Saul.

Cause me to hear in the morning Thy kindness, For in Thee I have trusted, Cause me to know the way that I go, For unto Thee I have lifted up my soul.

Jehovah is supporting all who are falling, And raising up all who are bowed down.

Who is giving healing to the broken of heart, And is binding up their griefs.

Who is covering the heavens with clouds, Who is preparing for the earth rain, Who is causing grass to spring up on mountains,

My son, if thou dost accept my sayings, And my commands dost lay up with thee,

Even to lay up for the upright substance, A shield for those walking uprightly.

Exalt her, and she doth lift thee up, She honoureth thee, when thou dost embrace her.

In thy going up and down, it leadeth thee, In thy lying down, it watcheth over thee, And thou hast awaked -- it talketh with thee.

My son! keep my sayings, And my commands lay up with thee.

The wise lay up knowledge, and the mouth of a fool is near ruin.

A good man causeth sons' sons to inherit, And laid up for the righteous is the sinner's wealth.

A soft answer turneth back fury, And a grievous word raiseth up anger.

A man of fury stirreth up contention, And the slow to anger appeaseth strife.

The way of the slothful is as a hedge of briers, And the path of the upright is raised up.

The house of the proud Jehovah pulleth down, And He setteth up the border of the widow.

Chastise thy son, for there is hope, And to put him to death lift not up thy soul.
