“Behold, He struck the rock so that waters gushed out,
And streams were overflowing;
Can He give bread also?
Will He provide meat for His people?”

And they remembered that God was their rock,
And the Most High God their Redeemer.

Thus He remembered that they were but flesh,
A wind that passes and does not return.

He led them safely, so that they did not fear;
But the sea engulfed their enemies.

So that He abandoned the dwelling place at Shiloh,
The tent which He had pitched among men,

Why have You broken down its hedges,
So that all who pass that way pick its fruit?

He established it for a testimony in Joseph
When he went throughout the land of Egypt.
I heard a language that I did not know:

“Oh that My people would listen to Me,
That Israel would walk in My ways!

They have said, “Come, and let us wipe them out as a nation,
That the name of Israel be remembered no more.”

Like fire that burns the forest
And like a flame that sets the mountains on fire,

Fill their faces with dishonor,
That they may seek Your name, O Lord.

That they may know that You alone, whose name is the Lord,
Are the Most High over all the earth.

For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand outside.
I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God
Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.

Will You not Yourself revive us again,
That Your people may rejoice in You?

Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him,
That glory may dwell in our land.

Show me a sign for good,
That those who hate me may see it and be ashamed,
Because You, O Lord, have helped me and comforted me.

The Lord loves the gates of Zion
More than all the other dwelling places of Jacob.

But of Zion it shall be said, “This one and that one were born in her”;
And the Most High Himself will establish her.

Who understands the power of Your anger
And Your fury, according to the fear that is due You?

So teach us to number our days,
That we may present to You a heart of wisdom.

O satisfy us in the morning with Your lovingkindness,
That we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.

You will not be afraid of the terror by night,
Or of the arrow that flies by day;

Of the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
Or of the destruction that lays waste at noon.

They will bear you up in their hands,
That you do not strike your foot against a stone.

That when the wicked sprouted up like grass
And all who did iniquity flourished,
It was only that they might be destroyed forevermore.

But You have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox;
I have been anointed with fresh oil.

To declare that the Lord is upright;
He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

More than the sounds of many waters,
Than the mighty breakers of the sea,
The Lord on high is mighty.

The Lord knows the thoughts of man,
That they are a mere breath.

That You may grant him relief from the days of adversity,
Until a pit is dug for the wicked.

“For forty years I loathed that generation,
And said they are a people who err in their heart,
And they do not know My ways.

Let the field exult, and all that is in it.
Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy

He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud;
They kept His testimonies
And the statute that He gave them.

Know that the Lord Himself is God;
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me;
He who walks in a blameless way is the one who will minister to me.

This will be written for the generation to come,
That a people yet to be created may praise the Lord.

That men may tell of the name of the Lord in Zion
And His praise in Jerusalem,

A Psalm of David.
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And all that is within me, bless His holy name.

Who satisfies your years with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle.

For He Himself knows our frame;
He is mindful that we are but dust.

He established the earth upon its foundations,
So that it will not totter forever and ever.

You set a boundary that they may not pass over,
So that they will not return to cover the earth.

He causes the grass to grow for the cattle,
And vegetation for the labor of man,
So that he may bring forth food from the earth,

And wine which makes man’s heart glad,
So that he may make his face glisten with oil,
And food which sustains man’s heart.

Until the time that his word came to pass,
The word of the Lord tested him.

To imprison his princes at will,
That he might teach his elders wisdom.

And He caused His people to be very fruitful,
And made them stronger than their adversaries.

He gave them also the lands of the nations,
That they might take possession of the fruit of the peoples’ labor,

So that they might keep His statutes
And observe His laws,
Praise the Lord!

That I may see the prosperity of Your chosen ones,
That I may rejoice in the gladness of Your nation,
That I may glory with Your inheritance.

Nevertheless He saved them for the sake of His name,
That He might make His power known.

Thus they exchanged their glory
For the image of an ox that eats grass.

Therefore He said that He would destroy them,
Had not Moses His chosen one stood in the breach before Him,
To turn away His wrath from destroying them.

Therefore He swore to them
That He would cast them down in the wilderness,

And that He would cast their seed among the nations
And scatter them in the lands.

They also provoked Him to wrath at the waters of Meribah,
So that it went hard with Moses on their account;

He caused the storm to be still,
So that the waves of the sea were hushed.

And there He makes the hungry to dwell,
So that they may establish an inhabited city,

That Your beloved may be delivered,
Save with Your right hand, and answer me!

Let the creditor seize all that he has,
And let strangers plunder the product of his labor.

Let them be before the Lord continually,
That He may cut off their memory from the earth;

And let them know that this is Your hand;
You, Lord, have done it.

Who humbles Himself to behold
The things that are in heaven and in the earth?

What ails you, O sea, that you flee?
O Jordan, that you turn back?

O mountains, that you skip like rams?
O hills, like lambs?

It is better to take refuge in the Lord
Than to trust in man.

It is better to take refuge in the Lord
Than to trust in princes.

You pushed me violently so that I was falling,
But the Lord helped me.

You have ordained Your precepts,
That we should keep them diligently.

Oh that my ways may be established
To keep Your statutes!

Your word I have treasured in my heart,
That I may not sin against You.

Gimel.
Deal bountifully with Your servant,
That I may live and keep Your word.

Open my eyes, that I may behold
Wonderful things from Your law.

Give me understanding, that I may observe Your law
And keep it with all my heart.

Establish Your word to Your servant,
As that which produces reverence for You.

This is my comfort in my affliction,
That Your word has revived me.

This has become mine,
That I observe Your precepts.

It is good for me that I was afflicted,
That I may learn Your statutes.

The law of Your mouth is better to me
Than thousands of gold and silver pieces.

Yodh.
Your hands made me and fashioned me;
Give me understanding, that I may learn Your commandments.

I know, O Lord, that Your judgments are righteous,
And that in faithfulness You have afflicted me.

May Your compassion come to me that I may live,
For Your law is my delight.

May my heart be blameless in Your statutes,
So that I will not be ashamed.

Revive me according to Your lovingkindness,
So that I may keep the testimony of Your mouth.

Your commandments make me wiser than my enemies,
For they are ever mine.

I have more insight than all my teachers,
For Your testimonies are my meditation.

I understand more than the aged,
Because I have observed Your precepts.

I have restrained my feet from every evil way,
That I may keep Your word.

How sweet are Your words to my taste!
Yes, sweeter than honey to my mouth!

I have sworn and I will confirm it,
That I will keep Your righteous ordinances.

Depart from me, evildoers,
That I may observe the commandments of my God.

Sustain me according to Your word, that I may live;
And do not let me be ashamed of my hope.

Uphold me that I may be safe,
That I may have regard for Your statutes continually.

I am Your servant; give me understanding,
That I may know Your testimonies.

Redeem me from the oppression of man,
That I may keep Your precepts.

Your testimonies are righteous forever;
Give me understanding that I may live.

My eyes anticipate the night watches,
That I may meditate on Your word.

Of old I have known from Your testimonies
That You have founded them forever.

Let my soul live that it may praise You,
And let Your ordinances help me.

Jerusalem, that is built
As a city that is compact together;
