O the happiness of those inhabiting Thy house, Yet do they praise Thee. Selah.

For good is a day in Thy courts, O Teacher! I have chosen rather to be at the threshold, In the house of my God, Than to dwell in tents of wickedness.

To the Overseer. -- By sons of Korah. A Psalm. Thou hast accepted, O Jehovah, Thy land, Thou hast turned to the captivity of Jacob.

Thou hast borne away the iniquity of Thy people, Thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.

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

Dost Thou not turn back? Thou revivest us, And Thy people do rejoice in Thee.

Show us, O Jehovah, thy kindness, And Thy salvation Thou dost give to us.

Keep my soul, for I am pious, Save Thy servant -- who is trusting to Thee, O Thou, my God.

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

There is none like Thee among the gods, O Lord, And like Thy works there are none.

All nations that Thou hast made Come and bow themselves before Thee, O Lord, And give honour to Thy name.

Show me, O Jehovah, Thy way, I walk in Thy truth, My heart doth rejoice to fear Thy name.

I confess Thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I honour Thy name to the age.

For Thy kindness is great toward me, And Thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.

Look unto me, and favour me, Give Thy strength to Thy servant, And give salvation to a son of Thine handmaid.

Among the dead -- free, As pierced ones lying in the grave, Whom Thou hast not remembered any more, Yea, they by Thy hand have been cut off.

Upon me hath Thy fury lain, And with all Thy breakers Thou hast afflicted. Selah.

Is Thy kindness recounted in the grave? Thy faithfulness in destruction?

Are Thy wonders known in the darkness? And Thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

Why, O Jehovah, castest Thou off my soul? Thou hidest Thy face from me.

I am afflicted, and expiring from youth, I have borne Thy terrors -- I pine away.

Over me hath Thy wrath passed, Thy terrors have cut me off,

An instruction, by Ethan the Ezrahite. Of the kind acts of Jehovah, to the age I sing, To all generations I make known Thy faithfulness with my mouth,

For I said, 'To the age is kindness built, The heavens! Thou dost establish Thy faithfulness in them.'

'Even to the age do I establish thy seed, And have built to generation and generation thy throne. Selah.

and the heavens confess Thy wonders, O Jehovah, Thy faithfulness also is in an assembly of holy ones.

O Jehovah, God of Hosts, Who is like Thee -- a strong Jah? And Thy faithfulness is round about Thee.

Thou hast bruised Rahab, as one wounded. With the arm of Thy strength Thou hast scattered Thine enemies.

North and south Thou hast appointed them, Tabor and Hermon in Thy name do sing.

Thou hast an arm with might, Strong is Thy hand -- high Thy right hand.

Righteousness and judgment Are the fixed place of Thy throne, Kindness and truth go before Thy face.

O the happiness of the people knowing the shout, O Jehovah, in the light of Thy face they walk habitually.

In Thy name they rejoice all the day, And in Thy righteousness they are exalted,

For the beauty of their strength art Thou, And in Thy good will is our horn exalted,

Then Thou hast spoken in vision, To Thy saint, yea, Thou sayest, I have placed help upon a mighty one, Exalted a chosen one out of the people,

Hast rejected the covenant of Thy servant, Thou hast polluted to the earth his crown,

Till when, O Jehovah, art Thou hidden? For ever doth Thy fury burn as fire?

Where are Thy former kindnesses, O Lord. Thou hast sworn to David in Thy faithfulness,

Remember, O Lord, the reproach of Thy servants, I have borne in my bosom all the strivings of the peoples,

For we were consumed in Thine anger, And in Thy fury we have been troubled.

Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee, Our hidden things at the light of Thy face,

For all our days pined away in Thy wrath, We consumed our years as a meditation.

Who knoweth the power of Thine anger? And according to Thy fear -- Thy wrath?

Turn back, O Jehovah, till when? And repent concerning Thy servants.

Satisfy us at morn with Thy kindness, And we sing and rejoice all our days.

Let Thy work appear unto Thy servants, And Thine honour on their sons.

There fall at thy side a thousand, And a myriad at thy right hand, Unto thee it cometh not nigh.

(For Thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge,) The Most High thou madest thy habitation.

Evil happeneth not unto thee, And a plague cometh not near thy tent,

For His messengers He chargeth for thee, To keep thee in all thy ways,

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

A Psalm. -- A Song for the sabbath-day. Good to give thanks to Jehovah, And to sing praises to Thy name, O Most High,

To declare in the morning Thy kindness, And Thy faithfulness in the nights.

For Thou hast caused me to rejoice, O Jehovah, in Thy work, Concerning the works of Thy hands I sing.

How great have been Thy works, O Jehovah, Very deep have been Thy thoughts.

Established is Thy throne since then, From the age Thou art.

Thy testimonies have been very stedfast, To Thy house comely is holiness, O Jehovah, for length of days!

Thy people, O Jehovah, they bruise, And Thine inheritance they afflict.

O the happiness of the man Whom Thou instructest, O Jah, And out of Thy law teachest him,

If I have said, 'My foot hath slipped,' Thy kindness, O Jehovah, supporteth me.

In the abundance of my thoughts within me, Thy comforts delight my soul.

Zion hath heard and rejoiceth, And daughters of Judah are joyful, Because of Thy judgments, O Jehovah.

They praise Thy name, 'Great, and fearful, holy it is.'

Hide not Thou Thy face from me, In a day of mine adversity, Incline unto me Thine ear, In the day I call, haste, answer me.

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

And Thou, O Jehovah, to the age abidest, And Thy memorial to all generations.

For Thy servants have been pleased with her stones, And her dust they favour.

Beforetime the earth Thou didst found, And the work of Thy hands are the heavens.

The sons of Thy servants do continue, And their seed before Thee is established!

Who is forgiving all thine iniquities, Who is healing all thy diseases,

Who is redeeming from destruction thy life, Who is crowning thee -- kindness and mercies,

Who is satisfying with good thy desire, Renew itself as an eagle doth thy youth.

From Thy rebuke they flee, From the voice of Thy thunder haste away.

Watering hills from His upper chambers, From the fruit of Thy works is the earth satisfied.

How many have been Thy works, O Jehovah, All of them in wisdom Thou hast made, Full is the earth of thy possessions.

Thou dost give to them -- they gather, Thou dost open Thy hand -- they are satisfied with good.

Thou hidest Thy face -- they are troubled, Thou gatherest their spirit -- they expire, And unto their dust they turn back.

Thou sendest out Thy Spirit, they are created, And Thou renewest the face of the ground.

Remember me, O Jehovah, With the favour of Thy people, Look after me in Thy salvation.

To look on the good of Thy chosen ones, To rejoice in the joy of Thy nation, To boast myself with Thine inheritance.

Our fathers in Egypt, Have not considered wisely Thy wonders, They have not remembered The abundance of Thy kind acts, And provoke by the sea, at the sea of Suph.

Save us, O Jehovah our God, and gather us from the nations, To give thanks to Thy holy name, To glory in Thy praise.

For great above the heavens is Thy kindness, And unto the clouds Thy truth.

Be Thou exalted above the heavens, O God, And above all the earth Thy honour.

That Thy beloved ones may be delivered, Save with Thy right hand, and answer us.

And Thou, O Jehovah Lord, Deal with me for Thy name's sake, Because Thy kindness is good, deliver me.

Help me, O Jehovah my God, Save me, according to Thy kindness.

And they know that this is Thy hand, Thou, O Jehovah, Thou hast done it.

They revile, and Thou dost bless, They have risen, and are ashamed, And Thy servant doth rejoice.

A Psalm of David. The affirmation of Jehovah to my Lord: 'Sit at My right hand, Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.'

The rod of thy strength doth Jehovah send from Zion, Rule in the midst of thine enemies.

Thy people are free-will gifts in the day of Thy strength, in the honours of holiness, From the womb, from the morning, Thou hast the dew of thy youth.

The Lord on thy right hand smote kings In the day of His anger.

Not to us, O Jehovah, not to us, But to Thy name give honour, For Thy kindness, for Thy truth.

Turn back, O my soul, to thy rest, For Jehovah hath conferred benefits on thee.

Cause it to come, O Jehovah, for I am Thy servant. I am Thy servant, son of Thy handmaid, Thou hast opened my bonds.

In the courts of the house of Jehovah, In thy midst, O Jerusalem, praise ye Jah!

Thou hast commanded us Thy precepts to keep diligently,

O that my ways were prepared to keep Thy statutes,

Then I am not ashamed In my looking unto all Thy commands.
