Whose, is the sea, for, he, made it, And, the dry land, his hands, did form.

where your fathers tested Me;
they tried Me, though they had seen what I did.

Chanting. Sing ye to Jehovah a new song, for he did wonders: his right hand saved for him, and his holy arm.

From the voice of my groaning my bone did cleave to my flesh.

For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth;

Jehovah did justices and judgments to all being oppressed.

He did not to us according to our sins, and he did not recompense upon us according to our iniquities.

Remember His wonders that He did, His signs and the judgments of His mouth.

He did not allow anyone to oppress them, or any kings to reprove them.

These did his tokens among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.

He sent darkness and made [it] dark, and they did not rebel against his words.

And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.

We have sinned like our fathers;
We have committed iniquity, we have behaved wickedly.

Our fathers in Egypt did not understand nor appreciate Your miracles;
They did not remember the abundance of Your mercies nor imprint Your lovingkindnesses on their hearts,
But they were rebellious at the sea, at the Red Sea.

But they quickly forgot His works;
They did not [patiently] wait for His counsel and purpose [to be revealed regarding them],

They made a calf in Horeb, and did homage to a molten image;

They forgot God their Savior,
who did great things in Egypt,

Then they refused the desirable land; they did not believe his word,

but grumbled in their tents. They did not obey the voice of Yahweh.

Yet they let themselves be bound to Baal-peor, - and did eat sacrifices to the dead:

They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them:

Therefore, they became unclean because of what they did; they have acted like whores by their evil deeds.

Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.

They wandered in the wilderness in a desert region;
They did not find a way to an inhabited city.

God, you have rejected us, have you not, since you did not march out with our army, God?

Because the man did not remember to show kindness,
But persecuted the suffering and needy man,
And the brokenhearted, to put them to death.

Because he loved cursing, let it come [upon] him. Because he did not delight in blessing, let it be far from him.

And our God is in the heavens; did all that he delighted in.

A voice of rejoicing and salvation in the tents of the just the right hand of Jehovah did strength.

The right hand of Jehovah was exalted: the right hand of Jehovah did strength.

Yah has disciplined me severely, but he did not consign me to death.

Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes.

My soul did cleave to the dust: make me alive according to thy word.

I hurried and did not procrastinate to keep your commands.

Though the ropes of the wicked
were wrapped around me,
I did not forget Your instruction.

They almost ended my life on earth,
but I did not abandon Your precepts.

I did judgment and justice: thou wilt not leave me to those oppressing me.

I am small and despised: I did not forget thy charges.

I saw with hate those who were untrue to you; for they did not keep your saying.

I hoped for thy salvation, O Jehovah, and I did thy commands.

Blessed be the LORD, who did not give us as prey to their teeth.

Then filled with laughter is our mouth, And our tongue with singing, Then do they say among nations, 'Jehovah did great things with these.'

Jehovah did great things with us, We have been joyful.

If I did not place and rest my soul as a child weaned of his Mother: my soul as a weaned child.

Like the dew of Hermon, which descended upon the mountains of Zion, - for, there, did Yahweh command the blessing, Life, unto times age-abiding?

Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.

By rivers of Babylon -- There we did sit, Yea, we wept when we remembered Zion.

Remember, O Lord, what the Edomites did on the day Jerusalem fell. They said, "Tear it down, tear it down, right to its very foundation!"

For You formed my innermost parts;
You knit me [together] in my mother’s womb.

Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

{Maschil of David; A Prayer when he was in the cave.} I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication.

He did judgment for the oppressed; he gave bread to the hungering: Jehovah loosed those being bound.

For He did strengthen the bars of thy gates, He hath blessed thy sons in thy midst.

He did not thus to every nation: and judgments they knew them not Praise ye Jah.

since you neglected all my counsel
and did not accept my correction,

For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:

they did not want my advice, and they rejected all my correction.

Jehovah by wisdom did found the earth, He prepared the heavens by understanding.

Do not quarrel with anyone without cause, when he did not do you harm.

and then say, "Alas, why hated I nurture? Why did my heart despise correction?

and "I did not listen to the voice of my teachers, and I did not incline my ear to my instructors!

And he sinning against me did violence to his soul: all hating me loved death.

The unjust one did a work of falsehood: and the seed of justice the reward of truth.

Did I not write to thee three days ago in counsels and knowledge?

“They struck me, but I was not hurt!
They beat me, but I did not feel it!
When will I wake up?
I will seek more wine.”

If you [claim ignorance and] say, “See, we did not know this,”
Does He not consider it who weighs and examines the hearts and their motives?
And does He not know it who guards your life and keeps your soul?
And will He not repay [you and] every man according to his works?

Say not, 'As he did to me, so I do to him, I render to each according to his work.'

And then sayeth he, "I did it but in sport!"

Many daughters did virtue, and thou wentest up over all of them.

The wind goeth toward the South and turneth unto the North, fetcheth his compass, whirleth about, and goeth forth and returneth again to his circuits from whence he did come.

Does anything exist about which someone might say, "Look at this! Is this new?" It happened ages ago; it existed before we did.

I saw all the works they did under the sun; and behold, all vanity and striving of the spirit

To laughter I said, It is mad: and to gladness, What did this?

I neither withheld anything from my eyes that they desired, nor did I deprive any pleasure from my heart. My heart rejoiced in all my toil, for this was my reward from all my toil.

And I turned to see wisdom, madness, and folly: for what the man that shall come after the king? with those things they did already.

So I thought to myself, "The fate of the fool will happen even to me! Then what did I gain by becoming so excessively wise?" So I lamented to myself, "The benefits of wisdom are ultimately meaningless!"

And I turned to cause my heart to despair over all the labor which I did under the sun.

For a man may do his work with wisdom, knowledge, and skill; however, he must hand over the fruit of his labor as an inheritance to someone else who did not work for it. This also is futile, and an awful injustice!

He made everything beautiful in his time: also he gave hidden time in their heart, so that man shall not find the work which God did from the beginning and even to the end.

yea, better than them both did I esteem him that hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.

This is another misfortune: Just as he came, so will he go. What did he gain from toiling for the wind?

even the sun, it never saw, nor aught did it know, - more quietness, hath this than the other.

And although he lived a thousand years twice, and he saw not good. Did not all go to one place?

What my heart sought, I did not find. Although I found one righteous man among one thousand, I did not find one [upright] woman among all these.

So then, I have seen the wicked buried, those who used to go in and out of the holy place [but did not thereby escape their doom], and they are [praised in spite of their evil and] soon forgotten in the city where they did such things. This too is futility (vanity, emptiness).

But it shall not be well with a wicked man, neither shall he prolong [his] days, [which are] as a shadow, because he did not fear before God.

Every one, was like every one else, one destiny, had the righteous and the lawless, the good and the pure and the impure, and he that sacrificed, and he that did not sacrifice, - as the good man, so, the sinner, he that took an oath, as he who, of an oath, stood in fear.

Do not gaze at me because I am black, because the sun has stared [at] me. The sons of my mother were angry with me; they made me keeper of the vineyards, [but] my own "vineyard" I did not keep.

On my bed in the night, I sought him whom my {heart} loves. I sought him, but I did not find him.

Now I will arise, and I will go about in the city, in the streets and in the squares; I will seek him whom my {heart} loves. I sought him, but I did not find him.

The watchmen who go about the city found me. [I said], Did ye see him whom my soul loves?

I was but a little way from them, when I came face to face with him who is the love of my soul. I took him by the hands, and did not let him go, till I had taken him into my mother's house, and into the room of her who gave me birth.

I opened myself to my beloved, but my beloved had turned and gone; my heart sank when he turned away. I sought him, but I did not find him; I called him, but he did not answer me.

Where did your beloved go, most beautiful of women? Where did your beloved turn, so we may look for him with you?

I did not know my {heart} set me [in] a chariot of my princely people.

Who is this coming from the wilderness, Hasting herself for her beloved? Under the citron-tree I have waked thee, There did thy mother pledge thee, There she gave a pledge that bare thee.

SHEI, was a wall, and, my breasts, like towers, - Then, became I, in his eyes, one who did indeed find good content.

"How terrible it will be for the wicked! Disaster is headed their way, because what they did with their hand will be repaid to them.

“What more could have been done for My vineyard that I have not done in it?
When I expected it to produce good grapes, why did it yield worthless ones?

Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
