Our fathers, in Egypt, understood not thy wonders, They remembered not the abounding of thy lovingkindnesses, but rebelled by the sea - at the Red Sea.

Save us, O Yahweh our God, and gather us from among the nations, That we may give thanks unto thy holy Name, That we may triumph aloud in thy praise.

For, great, above the heavens, is thy lovingkindness, and, as far as the skies, thy faithfulness.

Be thou exalted above the heavens, O God, And, above all the earth, be thy glory.

To the end thy beloved ones may be delivered, Oh save thou with thy right hand and answer me!

But, thou, Yahweh, Adonay, deal effectually with me, for the sake of thy Name, Since good is thy lovingkindness, O rescue me;

Help me! O Yahweh my God, Save me, according to thy lovingkindness:

They, may curse if, thou, wilt bless, - Mine assailants, shall be ashamed, but, thy servant, shall rejoice;

The declaration of Yahweh to my Lord - Sit thou at my right hand, Until I make thy foes thy footstool.

Thy sceptre of strength, will Yahweh extend out of Zion, Tread thou down, in the midst of thy foes.

Thy people, will freely offer themselves, in the day of thine army, - in the splendours of holiness, out of the womb of the dawn, To thee, shall spring forth the dew of thy youth.

My Lord, on thy right hand, - hath shattered - in the day of his anger - kings;

Not unto us, O Yahweh, not unto us, - but, unto thine own Name, give glory, concerning thy lovingkindness, concerning thy faithfulness.

Return, O my soul, to thy rest, For, Yahweh, hath dealt bountifully with thee.

I beseech thee, O Yahweh - for, I, am thy servant, - I, am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid, Thou hast loosened my bonds.

Thou, hast commanded thy precepts, that they should be diligently kept.

Oh would that my ways might be settled! that I might keep thy statutes.

Then, shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.

A sojourner, am, I, in the earth, Do not hide from me, thy commandments.

My soul is crushed with longing for thy just decisions at all times.

Thou hast rebuked the proud as accursed, who stray from thy commandments.

Roll from off me, reproach and contempt, For, thy testimonies, have I observed.

Even rulers have taken their seat, against me, have talked, Thy servant, will still meditate in thy statutes.

Yea, thy testimonies, are my dear delight, My counsellors.

[DALETH] My soul, cleaveth to the dust, Give me life, according to thy word.

[WAW] And let thy lovingkindness reach me, O Yahweh, thy salvation, according to thy word.

So shall I have something to answer him that reproacheth me, That I have trusted in thy word.

And do not snatch away from my mouth the word of truth in any wise, because, for thy regulation, have I waited.

That I may keep thy law continually, to times age-abiding and beyond.

That I may walk to and fro in a large place, because, thy precepts, have I sought.

That I may speak of thy testimonies before kings, and not be ashamed.

That I may find dear delight in thy commandments, which I have loved.

[ZAYIN] Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.

This, is my comfort in mine affliction, that, thy word, hath given me life.

Insolent men, have derided me exceedingly, From thy law, have I not swerved.

I have remembered thy regulations, which have come down from age-past times, O Yahweh, and have consoled myself.

A raging heat, hath seized me, by reason of the lawless, who forsake thy law.

Songs, have thy statutes become to me, in my house of sojourn.

I have remembered, in the night, thy Name, O Yahweh, and have kept thy law.

This, have I had, because, thy precepts, have I observed.

[HETH] My portion, is Yahweh, I have promised that I would keep thy words.

I have sought the smile of thy face with all my heart, Show me favour, according to thy word.

I have thought upon my ways, and have turned my feet unto thy testimonies.

I have hastened, and not delayed, to keep thy commandments.

The meshes of the lawless, have surrounded me, Thy law, have I not forgotten.

At midnight, I arise to give thanks unto thee, For thy righteous regulations.

Companion, am I, to all who revere thee, and to them who keep thy precepts.

Of thy lovingkindness, O Yahweh, the earth, is full, Thy statutes, teach thou me.

[TETH] Well, hast thou dealt with thy servant, O Yahweh, according to thy word.

Good judgment and knowledge, teach thou me, For, in thy commandments, have I trusted.

Before I was afflicted, I myself was going astray, but, now, thy word, have I kept.

Good, thou art, and doing good, Teach me thy statutes.

Insolent men have plastered falsehood over me, I, with a whole heart, will observe thy precepts.

Gross, like fat, is their heart, I, in thy law, have found dear delight.

It is, well for me, that I was afflicted, That I might learn thy statutes.

Better to me, is the law of thy mouth, than thousands of gold and silver.

[YODH] Thine own hands, have made me, and formed me. Give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.

They who revere thee, shall see me and rejoice, that, for thy word, I waited.

I know, O Yahweh, that righteous are thy regulations, and, in faithfulness, didst thou afflict me.

Let thy lovingkindness, I beseech thee, serve to comfort me, according to thy word to thy servant.

Let thy compassions reach me, that I may live, for, thy law, is my dear delight.

[KAPH] My soul, hath languished for thy salvation, For thy word, have I hoped.

Mine eyes have failed for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?

Though I have been like a wine-skin in the smoke, thy statutes, have I not forgotten.

How few are the days of thy servant! When wilt thou execute sentence on my persecutors?

Insolent men digged for me pits, men who are not according to thy law.

All thy commandments, are faithful, With falsehood, have they persecuted me, O help me!

A little more, and they had consumed me in the earth, but, I, forsake not thy precepts.

According to thy lovingkindness, give thou me life, so will I keep the testimonies of thy mouth.

[LAMED] Age-abidingly, O Yahweh, hath thy word been set up in the heavens.
