You have made his glory to cease, and have thrown his throne down to the ground.

The days of his youth You have shortened; You have covered him with shame. Selah.

Remember, I pray, how short my time is; why have You made all men in vain?

with which Your enemies have cursed, O Jehovah; with which they have cursed the footsteps of Your anointed.

A Prayer of Moses, the man of God. O Jehovah, You have been our dwelling-place in all generations.

You have set our iniquities before You, our secret sins in the light of Your face.

Make us glad according to the days of our affliction, the years in which we have seen evil.

Because You, O Jehovah, are My refuge; if You have made the Most High Your dwelling-place,

For You, Jehovah, have made Me glad with Your work; I will triumph in the works of Your hands.

The floods have lifted up, O Jehovah, the floods have lifted up their voices; the floods lift up their waves.

Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with You, which frames mischief by a law?

For forty years I was grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people who go astray in their hearts, and they have not known My ways;

A Psalm. O sing to Jehovah a new song; for He has done marvelous things; His right hand and His holy arm have saved for Him.

He has remembered His mercy and His truth toward the house of Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of Jehovah.

I will set no wicked thing before my eyes. I have hated the work of those who turn aside; it shall not hold on to me.

For I have eaten ashes like bread, and have mixed my drink with weeping,

because of Your anger and Your wrath; for You have lifted me up and cast me down.

You shall arise, and have mercy on Zion; for the time to pity her, yea, the set time, has come.

when the peoples and the kingdoms have gathered together to serve Jehovah.

Of old You have laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the work of Your hands.

but You are He, and Your years shall have no end.

Bless Jehovah, O my soul. O Jehovah my God, You are very great; You have put on honor and majesty,

They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys to the place which You have founded for them.

You have set a bound that they may not pass over, so that they do not turn again to cover the earth.

By them the birds of the heavens will have their place of rest; they sing among the branches.

O Jehovah, how many are Your works! In wisdom You have made them all; the earth is full of Your riches.

I will sing to Jehovah as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.

We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.

And they are glad because they are quiet; so He brings them to their desired haven.

Again, they have become few, and humbled through harshness, affliction, and sorrow.

O God, have You not cast us off? And, O God, will You not go out with our armies?

And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.

and they will know that this is Your hand; that You, Jehovah, have done it.

Your people shall be willing in the day of Your power, in holy adornment from the womb of the morning: You have the dew of Your youth.

The works of Jehovah are great, sought out by all those who have pleasure in them.

The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; all practicing them have good understanding; His praise stands forever.

They have mouths, but they do not speak; they have eyes, but they do not see;

they have ears, but they do not hear; they have noses, but they do not smell;

they have hands, but they do not handle; they have feet, but they do not walk; they do not mutter through their throat.

For You have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from falling.

I believed, therefore I have spoken; I was greatly afflicted;

O Jehovah, truly I am Your servant; I am Your servant, and the son of Your handmaid; You have loosed my bonds.

You have thrust hard at me so that I might fall; but Jehovah helped me.

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

Blessed is He coming in the name of Jehovah; we have blessed You out of the house of Jehovah.

You have commanded us to keep Your Commandments carefully.

Then I shall not be ashamed, when I have respect to all Your Commandments.

I will praise You with uprightness of heart when I have learned Your righteous judgments.

With all my heart I have sought You; do not let me wander from Your Commandments.

I have hidden Your Word in my heart, so that I might not sin against You.

With my lips I have declared all the judgments of Your mouth.

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

I will think on Your Commandments and have respect to Your ways.

You have rebuked the proud who are cursed, who go astray from Your Commandments.

Remove cursing and scorn from me; for I have kept Your testimonies.

I have declared my ways, and You hear me; teach me Your Precepts.

I have chosen the way of truth; I have laid Your judgments before me.

I have stuck to Your testimonies; O Jehovah, do not put me to shame.

Behold, I have longed after Your Commandments; in Your righteousness give me life.

And I shall have something to answer him who mocks me; for I trust in Your Word.

And take not the Word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in Your judgments.

And I will delight myself in Your Commandments, which I have loved.

And I will lift up my hands to Your Commandments which I have loved; and I will think on Your Precepts.

ZAYIN: Remember the Word to Your servant, on which You have caused me to hope.

The proud have utterly scorned me; yet I have not turned aside from Your Law.

I remembered Your judgments of old, O Jehovah, and have comforted myself.

Your Precepts have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.

I have remembered Your name, O Jehovah, in the night, and have kept Your Law.

CHETH: You are my portion, O Jehovah; I have said that I would keep Your Words.

The bands of the wicked have robbed me; but I have not forgotten Your Law.

TETH: You have dealt well with Your servant, O Jehovah, according to Your Word.

Teach me good judgment and knowledge; for I have believed Your Commandments.

Before I was afflicted I went astray; but now I have kept Your Word.

The proud have forged a lie against me; I will keep Your Commandments with all my heart.

It is good for me that I have been afflicted, so that I might learn Your Precepts.

JOD: Your hands have made me and formed me; give me understanding so that I may learn Your Commandments.

They who fear You will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in Your Word.

I know, O Jehovah, that Your judgments are right, and that You have afflicted me in faithfulness.

Let those who fear You turn to me, and those who have known Your testimonies.

The proud have dug pits for me, which are not according to Your Law.

Your faithfulness is to all generations; You have founded the earth, and it remains.

Unless Your Law had been my delight, I should then have perished in my affliction.

I will never forget Your Commandments; for with them You have given me life.

I am Yours, save me; for I have sought Your Commandments.

The wicked have waited for me to destroy me; but I will think on Your testimonies.

I have seen an end to all perfection; Your Commandment is exceedingly broad.

I have more understanding than all my teachers; for Your testimonies are my prayer.

I have kept my feet from every evil way, so that I might keep Your Word.

I have not departed from Your judgments; for You have taught me.

I have sworn, and I raised it, that I will keep Your righteous judgments.

The wicked have laid a snare for me; yet I do not go astray from Your Commandments.

I have taken Your testimonies as an inheritance forever; for they are the rejoicing of my heart.

I have bowed down my heart to do Your Precepts always to the end.

Hold me up, and I shall be safe; and I will always have respect to Your Precepts.

You have trampled all those who go astray from Your Precepts; for their deceit is falsehood.

AYIN: I have done the just and right thing; leave me not to those who crush me.

It is time for Jehovah to work; for they have broken Your Law.

In Your testimonies You have commanded righteousness and faithfulness exceedingly.

My zeal has eaten me up, because my enemies have forgotten Your Words.

Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me; yet Your Commandments are my delight.
