{A Psalm.} Sing ye unto Jehovah a new song: for he hath done wondrous things; his right hand and his holy arm hath wrought salvation for him.

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving and into his courts with praise; give thanks unto him, bless his name:

Whoso secretly slandereth his neighbour, him will I destroy; him that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not suffer.

For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving-kindness toward them that fear him.

As a father pitieth his children, so Jehovah pitieth them that fear him.

But the loving-kindness of Jehovah is from everlasting and to everlasting, upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children,

My meditation shall be pleasant unto him; I will rejoice in Jehovah.

Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him; meditate upon all his wondrous works.

Until the time when what he said came about: the word of Jehovah tried him.

The king sent and loosed him the ruler of peoples and let him go free.

He made him lord of his house, and ruler over all his possessions:

And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

And he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses, his chosen, stood before him in the breach, to turn away his fury, lest he should destroy them.

And they provoked him to anger with their doings; and a plague broke out among them.

And that was reckoned unto him for righteousness, from generation to generation, for evermore.

And they moved him to wrath at the waters of Meribah, and it went ill with Moses on their account;

Often did he deliver them; but as for them they provoked him by their counsel, and they were brought low by their iniquity.

Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the session of the elders.

But he secureth the needy one on high from affliction, and maketh him families like flocks.

Whoso is wise, let him observe these things, and let them understand the loving-kindnesses of Jehovah.

Set a wicked man over him, and let the adversary stand at his right hand;

When he shall be judged, let him go out guilty, and let his prayer become sin;

Let there be none to extend kindness unto him, neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children;

Because he remembered not to shew kindness, but persecuted the afflicted and needy man, and the broken in heart, to slay him.

And he loved cursing; so let it come unto him. And he delighted not in blessing; and let it be far from him.

Let it be unto him as a garment with which he covereth himself, and for a girdle wherewith he is constantly girded.

I will greatly celebrate Jehovah with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.

For he standeth at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those that judge his soul.

He hath given meat unto them that fear him; he is ever mindful of his covenant.

To set him among nobles, among the nobles of his people.

For he hath inclined his ear unto me, and I will call upon him during all my days.

Praise Jehovah, all ye nations; laud him, all ye peoples;

Blessed are they that observe his testimonies, that seek him with the whole heart;

So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me; for I confide in thy word.

Let Israel hope in Jehovah, because with Jehovah there is loving-kindness, and with him is plenteous redemption;

To him who alone doeth great wonders, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever:

To him that by understanding made the heavens, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever;

To him that stretched out the earth above the waters, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever;

To him that made great lights, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever;

To him that smote Egypt in their firstborn, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever,

To him that divided the Red sea into parts, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever,

To him that led his people through the wilderness, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever;

To him that smote great kings, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever,

Let the righteous smite me, it is kindness; and let him reprove me, it is an excellent oil which my head shall not refuse: for yet my prayer also is for them in their calamities.

I pour out my plaint before him; I shew before him my trouble.

Jehovah, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him, the son of man, that thou takest thought of him?

Jehovah is nigh unto all that call upon him, unto all that call upon him in truth.

He fulfilleth the desire of them that fear him; he heareth their cry, and saveth them.

Jehovah keepeth all that love him, and all the wicked will he destroy.

Jehovah taketh pleasure in those that fear him, in those that hope in his loving-kindness.

Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah from the heavens; praise him in the heights.

Praise ye him, all his angels; praise ye him, all his hosts.

Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all ye stars of light.

Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens.

And he hath lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints, even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Hallelujah!

Let them praise his name in the dance; let them sing psalms unto him with the tambour and harp.

Hallelujah! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in the firmament of his power.

Praise him in his mighty acts; praise him according to the abundance of his greatness.

Praise him with the sound of the trumpet; praise him with lute and harp;

Praise him with the tambour and dance; praise him with stringed instruments and the pipe;

Praise him with loud cymbals; praise him with high sounding cymbals.

in all thy ways acknowledge him, and he will make plain thy paths.

These six things doth Jehovah hate, yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

And behold, there met him a woman in the attire of a harlot, and subtle of heart.

And she caught him and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him,

he hath taken the money-bag with him, he will come home on the day of the full moon.

With her much enticement she beguiled him; with the smoothness of her lips she constrained him.

They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.

then I was by him his nursling, and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;

Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither. To him that is void of understanding, she saith,

Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither. And to him that is void of understanding she saith,

In the lips of an intelligent man wisdom is found; but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.

The fear of a wicked man, it shall come upon him; but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.

As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him.

It goeth ill with him that is surety for another; but he that hateth suretyship is secure.

He that withholdeth corn, the people curse him; but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.

He that is earnest after good seeketh favour; but he that searcheth for mischief, it shall come upon him.

A man is satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth; and the recompense of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him.

He that guardeth his mouth keepeth his soul; destruction shall be to him that openeth wide his lips.

Righteousness preserveth him that is perfect in the way; but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.

Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction; but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.

He that spareth his rod hateth his son; but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

He that walketh in his uprightness feareth Jehovah; but he that is perverted in his ways despiseth him.

A scorner seeketh wisdom, and there is none for him; but knowledge is easy unto the intelligent.

He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker; but he that honoureth Him is gracious to the needy.

The king's favour is toward a wise servant; but his wrath is against him that causeth shame.

The way of a wicked man is an abomination to Jehovah; but him that pursueth righteousness he loveth.

Grievous correction is for him that forsaketh the path; he that hateth reproof shall die.

A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him; he will not go unto the wise.

Folly is joy to him that is void of sense; but a man of understanding regulateth his walk.

When a man's ways please Jehovah, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.

Righteous lips are the delight of kings, and they love him that speaketh aright.

Wisdom is a fountain of life for him that hath it; but the instruction of fools is folly.

The appetite of the labourer laboureth for him, for his mouth urgeth him on.

A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into a way that is not good.

A reproof entereth more deeply into him that hath understanding than a hundred stripes into a fool.

An evil man seeketh only rebellion; but a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.

Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.

A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bore him.

A fool's mouth is destruction to him, and his lips are a snare to his soul.
