Awesome [are you], O God, from your sanctuary. The God of Israel, [it is] he who gives strength and might to the people. Blessed be God.

Let those who wait for you not be put to shame because of me, O Lord Yahweh [of] hosts. Let those who seek you not be disgraced because of me, O God of Israel.

On my part, I will praise you with a stringed instrument, [and] your faithfulness, O my God. I will sing praises to you with a lyre, O Holy One of Israel.

Blessed be Yahweh God, the God of Israel, [who] alone does wonderful things.

Surely God is good to Israel, to those pure of heart.

God [is] known in Judah. His name [is] great in Israel.

For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our ancestors to teach to their children,

Therefore Yahweh heard and he was very angry, and a fire was kindled against Jacob, and [his] anger also rose up against Israel,

the anger of God rose against them, and he killed some of the stoutest of them, even the young men of Israel he caused to bow down [in death].

So they again tested God and distressed the Holy One of Israel.

And he drove out nations before them and allocated them for an inheritance by [boundary] line, and settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.

God heard and he was very angry and rejected Israel utterly.

He brought him from following nursing ewes to shepherd Jacob, his people, and Israel, his inheritance.

Give ear, O shepherd of Israel, [who] leads Joseph like a flock. Shine forth, [you who] sits [enthroned above] the cherubim.

because it [is] a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.

Hear, O my people, and I will admonish you; O Israel, if you would [but] listen to me.

But my people did not listen to my voice, and Israel did not yield to me.

Oh that my people would listen to me; [that] Israel would walk in my ways.

They say, "Come, let us annihilate them from [being] a nation, so that the name of Israel will be remembered no more."

because our shield belongs to Yahweh, and our king to the Holy One of Israel.

He has remembered his loyal love and his faithfulness to the house of Israel. All [the] ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

[who] made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the {people} of Israel.

He then confirmed it to Jacob as a statute, to Israel [as] an everlasting covenant,

Then Israel came [to] Egypt, and Jacob was a sojourner in the land of Ham.

Blessed [is] Yahweh, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting. And let all the people say, "Amen!" Praise Yah.

When Israel went out from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of a strange language,

Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

O Israel, trust Yahweh; he [is] their help and their shield.

Yahweh remembers us; he will bless [us]. He will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.

Let Israel say, "His loyal love [is] forever."

Look, he will not slumber and he will not sleep-- he who protects Israel.

where [the] tribes go up, the tribes of Yah [as] a testimony for Israel, to give thanks to the name of Yahweh.

"If [it had] not [been] Yahweh who was on our side," do let Israel say,

But regarding those who turn aside to their crooked ways, Yahweh will lead them away with the evildoers. Peace [be] upon Israel.

and that you may see your children's children. [May] peace [be] upon Israel.

"Too often they have attacked me from my youth." Let Israel say,

O Israel, wait for Yahweh. For with Yahweh [there is] loyal love, and with him [there is] abundant redemption.

And he will redeem Israel from all its iniquities.

O Israel, hope in Yahweh from now until forever.

For Yah has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel as his special possession.

and he gave their land as an inheritance, an inheritance for his people Israel.

O house of Israel, bless Yahweh. O house of Aaron, bless Yahweh.

And he brought Israel out from among them, for his loyal love [endures] forever.

And he let Israel cross over through the midst of it, for his loyal love [endures] forever.

An inheritance to Israel his servant, for his loyal love [endures] forever.

Yahweh [is] building Jerusalem; he gathers [the] scattered ones of Israel.

[He] declares his word to Jacob, his statutes and his ordinances to Israel.

And he has raised high a horn for his people, praise for all his faithful-- for the children of Israel, a people close to him. Praise Yah.

Let Israel be glad in its maker; let the children of Zion rejoice in their king.

Proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel:

I, the Teacher, [was] king over Israel in Jerusalem.

Look! [It is] Solomon's {portable couch}! Sixty mighty men surround {it}, the mighty men of Israel.

An ox knows its owner and a donkey the manger of its master. Israel does not know; my people do not understand.

Ah, sinful nation, a people heavy [with] iniquity, offspring of evildoers, children who deal corruptly. They have forsaken Yahweh; they have despised the holy one of Israel. They are estranged [and gone] backward.

Therefore, the declaration of the Lord Yahweh of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: "Ah, I will be relieved of my enemies, and I will avenge myself on my foes.

On that day the branch of Yahweh shall become beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land [shall become the] pride and glory of the survivors of Israel.

For the vineyard of Yahweh of hosts [is] the house of Israel, and the man of Judah [is] the plantation of his delight. [And] he waited for justice, but look! Bloodshed! For righteousness, but look! A cry of distress!

those who say, "Let him make haste; let him hurry his work so that we may see it and let it draw near and let the plan of the holy one of Israel come so that we may know [it]!"

Therefore as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and dry grass sinks down [in the] flame, so their root will become like [the] stench, and their blossom will go up like [the] dust. For they have rejected the instruction of Yahweh of hosts, and they have treated the word of the holy one of Israel with contempt.

This happened in the days of Ahaz, son of Jotham, son of Uzziah, king of Judah. Rezin, king of Aram, and Pekah, son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up [to] Jerusalem for warfare against it, but he was not able to fight against it.

And he will become like a sanctuary and a stumbling-stone, and like a stumbling-rock for the two houses of Israel, like a trap and a snare for the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

Look! I and the children whom Yahweh has given to me [are] like signs and portents in Israel from Yahweh of hosts, the one who dwells on the mountain of Zion.

The Lord has sent out a word against Jacob, and it fell on Israel.

Aram from [the] east and Philistines from [the] west-- and they devoured Israel with the whole mouth. He has not turned away his anger in all of this, and his hand is still stretched out.

So Yahweh cut off head and tail from Israel, palm branch and reed [in] one day.

And the light of Israel will become like a fire, and his holy one like a flame, and it will burn and devour his thorns and briers in one day.

And this shall happen: on that day, the remnant of Israel and the survivors of the house of Jacob will not continue to lean on [the] one who struck it but will lean on Yahweh, the holy one of Israel, in truth.

For though your people Israel was like the sand of the sea, [only] a remnant of it will return. Annihilation [is] determined, overflowing [with] righteousness.

and he will raise a signal for the nations. And he will gather the outcasts of Israel, and he will gather the scattered ones of Judah together from the four {corners} of the earth.

So there shall be a highway from Assyria for the remnant of his people that remains, as there was for Israel {when} it went up from the land of Egypt.

Inhabitant of Zion, shout out and sing for joy, for the holy one of Israel [is] great in your midst."

But Yahweh will have compassion on Jacob, and he will again choose Israel and set them on their land, and the immigrant will join himself to them, and they will attach themselves to the house of Jacob.

And [the] nations will take them and bring them to their place, and the house of Israel will take possession of them in the land of Yahweh as slaves and female slaves. And this will happen: they will take their captors captive and rule over their oppressors.

And [the] fortified city will disappear from Ephraim, and [the] kingdom from Damascus; and the remnant of Aram will be like the glory of the children of Israel," {declares} Yahweh of hosts.

And gleanings will be left over in it, as {when an olive tree is beaten}, two [or] three ripe olive berries in [the] top of a branch, four [or] five on its fruitful branches," {declares} Yahweh, the God of Israel.

On that day, mankind will look to its maker, and its eyes will look to the holy one of Israel;

On that day, {its fortified cities} will be like the {abandonment of the wooded place and the summit}, which they deserted because of the children of Israel; and there will be desolation.

On that day, Israel will be [the] third with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth,

whom Yahweh of hosts blessed, saying, "May Egypt my people be blessed, and Assyria, the work of my hands, and my inheritance, Israel."

My downtrodden people and the son of my threshing floor, I will announce to you what I have heard from Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel.

And the remainder of the number of the bows of the warriors of the sons of Kedar will be few." For Yahweh, the God of Israel, has spoken.

Therefore glorify Yahweh in the east, the name of Yahweh the God of Israel in the coastlands of the sea.

{Days are coming}, let Jacob take root; Israel will blossom and send out shoots, and they will fill [the] face of [the] world [with] fruit.

And this shall happen: on that day, Yahweh will thresh from the floodwaters of the Euphrates to the wadi of Egypt, and [as for] you, you will be gathered one by one, sons of Israel.

And [the] meek {have joy after joy} in Yahweh, and [the] needy of [the] people shall rejoice in the holy one of Israel.

For when he sees his children, the work of my hands, in his midst, they will treat my name as holy, and they will treat the holy one of Jacob as holy, and they will stand in awe [of] the God of Israel.

turn aside from [the] way, turn aside from [the] path, put an end to the holy one of Israel from our face."

Therefore the holy one of Israel says this: "Because you [are] rejecting this word and you trust in oppression and {cunning} and you rely on it,

For the Lord Yahweh, the holy one of Israel, said this: "In returning and rest you shall be saved; your strength shall be in quietness and in trust." But you were not willing,

{You shall have a song} as [in] [the] night when a holy festival is kept, and a gladness of heart like one who goes with the flute, to go to the mountain of Yahweh, to the rock of Israel.

Ah! Those who go down [to] Egypt for help! They rely on horses and trust in chariots because [they are] many, and in horsemen because they are very numerous, and they do not look to the holy one of Israel, and they do not consult Yahweh.

Turn back to [the one against] whom the sons of Israel have made deep rebellion.

"Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel {who is enthroned on} the cherubim, you [are] the one, God by yourself, of all the kingdoms of the earth; you are the one who made the heavens and the earth.

And Isaiah son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, "Thus says Yahweh the God of Israel: 'Because you have prayed to me {concerning} Sennacherib, king of Assyria,

Whom have you taunted and blasphemed, and against whom have you raised up [your] voice and lifted your eyes upward? To the holy one of Israel!

{Why} do you say, Jacob, and you speak, Israel, "My way is hidden from Yahweh, and my judgment is passed over by my God?"

But you, Israel, my servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, you, the {offspring} of Abraham my {friend},

You must not fear, O worm of Jacob; people of Israel, I myself, I will help you," {declares} Yahweh, "and your redeemer [is] the holy one of Israel.

You shall winnow them and [the] wind shall carry them, and [the] tempest shall scatter them. And you yourself shall rejoice in Yahweh; you shall boast in the holy one of Israel.

The poor and the needy [are] seeking water and [there is] none; their tongue is dried up with thirst. I, Yahweh, will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them.
