As for the GOD of Israel, he, is giving strength and abundant might to the people. Blessed be God!

Let them not be ashamed, through me, Who have waited for thee, O My Lord, Yahweh of hosts, - Let them not be confounded, through me, Who are seeking thee, O God of Israel!

I also, will praise thee by the aid of a harp, Thy faithfulness, O my God, - I will make music unto thee with a lyre, Thou holy one of Israel;

Blessed be Yahweh God, the God of Israel, - Who doeth wondrous things by himself alone;

BOOK THE THIRD Nothing but good, is God, Unto Israel, Unto the pure in heart.

God is, known in Judah, In Israel, great is his Name;

When he set up a testimony in Jacob, And, a law, appointed in Israel, - Which he commanded our fathers, That they might make them known to their children;

Therefore, Yahweh hearkened, and became wroth, - And, a fire, was kindled against Jacob, Moreover also, anger, mounted against Israel;

When, the anger of God, mounted against them, And he slew of their vigorous youths, And, the choice young men of Israel, caused he to bow down in death.

Yea they again put GOD to the test, And, to the Holy One of Israel, caused they sorrow:

So he drave out, before them, whole nations, And allotted them, by line, an inheritance, And caused to dwell, in their own homes, the tribes of Israel.

God heard and was wroth, And greatly abhorred Israel;

From after the sucking ewes, he brought him in, - To be shepherd to Jacob his people, And to Israel, his inheritance.

O Shepherd of Israel, give ear, Thou who leddest forth Joseph like a rock, Thou who art throned on the cherubim, appear!

For, a statute to Israel, it is, A regulation, by the God of Jacob;

Hear, O my people, and I will adjure thee, O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me!

But my people, hearkened not, unto my voice, Even, Israel, inclined not unto me.

If, my people, were hearkening unto me, If, Israel, in my ways, would walk,

They have said - Come, and let us wipe them out from being a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.

For, to Yahweh, belongeth our Shield, And, to the Holy One of Israel, belongeth our King.

He hath remembered his lovingkindness and his faithfulness towards the house of Israel, - All the ends of the earth, have seen, the salvation of our God.

Who made known his ways unto Moses, unto the sons of Israel, his doings.

And confirmed if unto Jacob for a statute, To Israel, as a covenant age-abiding;

So Israel came into Egypt, And, Jacob, sojourned in the land of Ham;

Blessed be Yahweh, God of Israel, from one age even unto another, And all the people, shall say, Amen! Praise ye Yah!

When Israel came forth out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from among a people of strange tongue,

Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his realm:

O Israel! trust thou in Yahweh, Their help and their shield, is he!

Yahweh, hath remembered us, he will bless - He will bless the house of Israel, He will bless the house of Aaron;

I pray you! let Israel, say, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.

Lo! neither will slumber nor sleep, The keeper of Israel.

Whither have come up the tribes, The tribes of Yah, A testimony to Israel, To give thanks unto the Name of Yahweh:

If it had not been, Yahweh, who was on our side, oh might Israel say:

As for them who turn aside unto their crooked ways, Yahweh, will lead them forth, with the workers of iniquity, Prosperity on Israel!

And behold thou thy children's children, - Prosperity on Israel!

Many a time, have they harassed me from my youth, well may Israel say:

Wait, O Israel, for Yahweh, - for, with Yahweh, is lovingkindness, and there aboundeth with him - redemption.

He, therefore, will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

Wait, O Israel, for Yahweh, from this time forth, even to times age-abiding.

For, Jacob, hath Yah chosen for himself, Israel, for his own treasure.

And gave their land as an inheritance, an inheritance to Israel his people.

O house of Israel! bless Yahweh, O house of Aaron! bless Yahweh;

And brought forth Israel out of their midst, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.

And caused Israel to pass through the midst thereof, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.

An inheritance to Israel his servant, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.

Yahweh, is building Jerusalem, The outcasts of Israel, will he gather together.

Declaring his word unto Jacob, His statutes and his regulations, unto Israel.

Therefore hath he exalted a horn for his people, a praise for all his men of lovingkindness, for the sons of Israel - a people near him, Praise ye Yah!

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him, Let the sons of Zion exult in their king;

The proverbs of Solomon, son of David, King of Israel:

I, the Proclaimer, was king over Israel, in Jerusalem.

Lo! his couch, -- tis Solomon's own, Threescore heroes, around it, - of the heroes of Israel:

An ox knoweth, his owner, And an ass his masters crib, - Israel, doth not know, My people doth not consider.

Alas! a nation - committing sin, a people - burdened with iniquity, a seed - practising wickedness, sons - acting corruptly. They have forsaken Yahweh despised the Holy One of Israel, - Are estranged and gone back.

Therefore, Declareth the Lord Yahweh of hosts, The Mighty One of Israel, - Alas! I must appease me on mine adversaries, I must avenge me on mine enemies

In that day, Shall the Bud of Yahweh, become beautiful and glorious, - And the Fruit of the Land splendid and majestic, To the escaped of Israel.

Surely the vineyard of Yahweh of hosts, is the house of Israel, And, the men of Judah, are the plantation in which he dearly delighted, - And he waited, For equity but lo! murderous iniquity, For the rule of right but lo the cry of the wronged.

Who say - Let his work quicken - let it hasten, That we may see, - And let the purpose of Israel's Holy One, draw near and come. That we may know!

Therefore, As a tongue of fire, eateth up straw, And a flame reduceth, dry grass, to powder, Their root, like rottenness, shall become, And their blossom, like dust shall ascend, - Because they refused the law of Yahweh of hosts, And the utterance of the Holy One of Israel, they despised.

And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz son of Jotham son of Uzziah king of Judah, that Rezin king of Syria, and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel, came up, to Jerusalem, to war against it, but could not prevail against it.

So shall he become a hallowed asylum, - But a stone to strike against, and a rock to stumble over unto both houses of Israel A trap and a snare to the dweller in Jerusalem;

Lo! I and the children whom Yahweh hath given me, are for signs and for wonders in Israel, - from Yahweh of hosts, who is making his habitation in Mount Zion.

A word, hath My Lord, sent unto Jacob, - And it shall alight on Israel;

Syrians before and Philistines behind, Thus have they devoured Israel with open mouth, - For all this, hath his anger, not turned back, But still, is his hand outstretched.

Therefore hath Yahweh cut off from Israel - Head and tail Palm-top and rush, In one day.

So shall, the Light of Israel, become, a fire, And his Holy One, a flame, Which shall burn and consume his thorns and his briars, in one day;

And it shall come to pass in that day, That the remnant of Israel. And the escaped of the house of Jacob Shall, no more again, lean upon him that smote them, - But shall lean upon Yahweh the Holy One of Israel, in truth.

For though thy people, O Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, A mere remnant, shall return of them, - A full end decreed, bringeth in, justice, like a flood;

And he will lift up a standard to the nations, And will gather the outcasts of Israel, - And the dispersed of Judah, will he collect, From the four corners of the earth.

So shall there be a highway for the remnant of his people who shall be left out of Assyria, - Like as it was to Israel, in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt!

Make shrill thy voice and sing out thou inhabitress of Zion, - That great in the midst of thee, is the Holy One of Israel.

For Yahweh will have compassion on Jacob, And will yet choose Israel, And will give them rest upon their own soil, - And the sojourner, shall join himself, unto them, And they shall attach themselves unto the house of Jacob;

And peoples shall take them, and bring them into their own place, And the house of Israel shall possess themselves of them upon the soil of Yahweh for servants and for handmaids, - Thus shall they be taking captive their captors, And shall tread down their oppressors.

Then shall the fortress cease from Ephraim, And the kingdom from Damascus and the remnant of Syria, - Like the glory of the sons of Israel, shall they be, - Declareth Yahweh of hosts.

Yet shall there be left therein, a gleaning. As in the beating of an olive-tree, - Two-three berries in the head of the tree-top, - Four - five, among her fruitful boughs, Declareth Yahweh God of Israel.

In that day, shall the son of earth look to him that made him, - And his eyes unto the Holy One of Israel, be turned;

In that day, shall his fortified cities become Like a neglected bough and a topmost branch, Which they neglected because of the sons of Israel, - So shall there be desolation.

In that day, shall, Israel, be, a third, with Egypt and with Assyria, - A blessing in the midst of the earth:

Whom Yahweh of hosts bath blessed saying, - Blessed, be My people - the Egyptians, And the work of my hands - the Assyrians, And mine own inheritance - Israel.

O thou My threshing! And the grain of my corn-floor! That which I have heard from Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, Have I declared, unto you.

And, the remnant of the record of bowmen, The heroes of the sons of Kedar, shall become few; For Yahweh God of Israel, hath spoken.

For this cause, In the Regions of Light, give ye glory to Yahweh, - In the Coastlands of the Sea, unto the Name of Yahweh. God of Israel,

In coming times, shall Jacob strike root, Israel, shall blossom and bud, - Then shall they fill the face of the world with fruit.

And it shall come to pass, in that day, That Yahweh will beat off his fruit from the stream of the River, unto the torrent-valley of Egypt, - And, ye, shall be picked up, one by one O sons of Israel.

And again shall the humbled in Yahweh, have joy, - And the needy of mankind in the Holy One of Israel, exult;

For, when he seeth his children the work of my hands, in his midst, They will hallow my Name, - Yea they will hallow the Holy One of Jacob, And the God of Israel, will they regard with awe.

Depart ye from the way, Turn aside from the path, - Desist from setting before us the Holy One of Israel.

Therefore - Thus, saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye have rejected this word, - And have trusted in oppression and perverseness, And have relied thereon,

For thus, said my Lord Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel - By returning and resting, shall ye be saved, In keeping quiet and trusting, shall be your strength, - Howbeit ye would not!

A song, shall ye have, As in the night of hallowing a festival, - And gladness of heart, As when one goeth with the flute to enter Into the mountain of Yahweh Unto the Rock of Israel.

Alas! for them who are going down to Egypt for help, On horses, would rely, - And have trusted - In chariots - because they are many, and In horsemen, because they are very bold, But have not looked unto the Holy One of Israel, And onto Yahweh, have not sought.

Return ye unto him against whom the sons of Israel have deeply revolted,

O Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel - inhabiting the cherubim, Thou thyself, art GOD, even thou alone, for all the kingdoms of the earth: Thou, didst make the heavens and the earth.

Then Isaiah son of Amoz sent unto Hezekiah saying, - Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel, In that thou hast prayed unto me concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria,

Whom, hast thou reproached and insulted? And, against whom, hast thou lifted high thy voice? Yea thou hast proudly raised thine eyes, against the Holy One of Israel.

Wherefore, shouldest thou say, O Jacob, or speak, O Israel, - Hidden is my path from Yahweh, And from my God, my vindication, will pass?

But, thou, Israel, my Servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, - The seed of Abraham my loving one;

Do not fear, Thou worm Jacob, Ye men of Israel, - I, have become thy helper, Declareth Yahweh, And thy redeemer The Holy One of Israel.

Thou shalt fan them and, a wind, shall carry them away, And, a whirlwind, scatter, them, - But, thou, shalt exult in Yahweh, And, in the Holy One of Israel, shalt thou boast thyself.

As for the oppressed and the needy. Seeking water when there is none, Their tongue with thirst being parched I - Yahweh, will answer them, The God of Israel, I will not forsake them:
