Lift your steps to the perpetual ruins, [to] all [that the] enemy has ruined in the sanctuary.

For [it is] not from [the] east or [the] west and not from [the] south [that] lifting up [comes],

For [there is] a cup in the hand of Yahweh with wine [that] foams, fully mixed, and he pours out from this. Surely all [the] wicked of [the] land {will quaff it down [to] its dregs}.

I cry out with my voice to God; with my voice to God, that he may hear me.

that we have heard and known, and our ancestors have told us.

We will not hide [them] from their children, telling the next generation the praises of Yahweh, and his power and his wonders that he has done.

so that [the] next generation might know-- children [yet to] be born-- [that] they might rise up and tell their children,

that they might set their confidence in God, and not forget the deeds of God, but keep his commandments,

and not be like their ancestors, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation [that] did not make ready its heart, whose spirit was not faithful [to] God.

They also forgot his deeds, and his wonders that he had shown them.

And they remembered that God [was] their rock, and God Most High their redeemer.

for he remembered that they [were] flesh, a passing wind that does not return.

He sent among them flies that devoured them and frogs that destroyed them.

but chose the tribe of Judah, {Mount Zion} that he loved.

And he built his sanctuary like [the] heights, like [the] earth that he established forever.

Pour out your anger on the nations that do not know you, and on [the] kingdoms that do not call on your name,

Why should the nations say, "Where [is] their God?" Let it be known among the nations before our eyes, [by] the avenging of the blood of your servants that was poured out.

O God, restore us, and cause your face to shine that we may be saved.

O God [of] hosts, restore us and cause your face to shine that we may be saved.

Why have you broken down its walls, so that all [who] pass on [the] road pluck [fruit from] it?

even[the] stalk that your right hand planted, and concerning [the] shoot you strengthened for yourself.

O Yahweh God [of] hosts, restore us; cause your face to shine that we may be saved.

Oh that my people would listen to me; [that] Israel would walk in my ways.

They do not know or consider. They go about in the darkness, [so that] all [the] foundations of [the] earth are shaken.

They say, "Come, let us annihilate them from [being] a nation, so that the name of Israel will be remembered no more."

Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek your name, O Yahweh.

that they may know that you, [whose] name [is] Yahweh, you alone, [are the] Most High over the whole earth.

Will you not again revive us, that your people might rejoice in you?

Surely his salvation [is] near for those who fear him, that glory may abide in our land.

All [the] nations that you have made will come and bow down before you, O Lord, and glorify your name.

Teach me, O Yahweh, your way, [that] I may walk in your truth. Unite my heart to fear your name.

Do a sign [that] benefits me, that those who hate me may see and be put to shame, because you, O Yahweh, have helped me and comforted me.

Where [are] your former acts of loyal love, O Lord, [that] you swore to David by your faithfulness?

You sweep them away [like a flood]. They fall asleep. In the morning [they are] like grass [that] sprouts anew.

So teach [us] to number our days that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

Satisfy us in the morning with your loyal love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.

You need not fear [the] terror of [the] night, [or the] arrow [that] flies by day,

[or the] plague [that] spreads in the darkness, [or the] destruction [that] devastates at noon.

But you have exalted my horn like [that of] a wild ox; you have anointed me with fresh oil.

to declare that Yahweh [is] upright. [He is] my rock, and [there is] no injustice in him.

Yahweh is king; he clothes himself with majesty. Yahweh clothes himself; he girds himself with might. Yes, [the] world is established [so that] it will not be moved.

Yahweh knows [the] thoughts of humankind, that {they [are] to no purpose}.

Can there be allied with you a throne of destruction, one that forms trouble based on statute?

to whom belongs the sea that he made, and [the] dry land [that] his hands formed.

For forty years I loathed [that] generation, and said, '[They are] a people [whose] heart wanders. And my ways they do not know.'

Say among the nations, "Yahweh is king! Yes, [the] world is established [so that] it will not be moved. He will judge [the] peoples fairly."

Let [the] field with all that [is] in it exult. Then all [the] trees of [the] forests will sing for joy

Know that Yahweh, he [is] God; he made us and we are his. [We are] his people and the sheep of his pasture.

My eyes [will be] on [the] faithful of [the] land, that [they may] live with me. [He who] walks in [the] way of integrity, he shall minister to me.

Let this be written for [the] next generation, so that a people [yet] to be created may praise Yah,

that he looked down from his holy height. Yahweh looked from heaven over [the] earth

so that [they may] make known in Zion the name of Yahweh, and his praise in Jerusalem,

who satisfies your life with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

For he knows our frame. He remembers that we [are] dust.

He established [the] earth on her foundations, [so that] it will not be moved forever and ever.

They ascended [the] mountains [and] drained though the valleys to [the] place that you established for them.

You set a boundary that they may not cross over, [so that] they would not return to cover the earth.

and wine [that] makes glad [the] heart of man, so that [their] faces shine from oil, and bread [that] strengthens the heart of man.

The trees of Yahweh drink their fill, the cedars of Lebanon that he planted,

There [the] ships sail. Leviathan [is there] that you formed to play with.

Remember his wonders that he has done, his signs and the judgments of his mouth,

He remembers his covenant forever, [the] word [that] he commanded for a thousand generations,

that he made with Abraham, and by his oath [swore] to Isaac.

saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan [as] the allotment [that is] your inheritance."

so that they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise Yah.

that may see the good [done] your chosen ones, to be glad in the joy of your nation, to glory together with your inheritance.

And [so] they exchanged their glory for an image of an ox that eats grass.

Save us, O Yahweh our God, and gather us from the nations, so that [we may] give thanks to your holy name [and] boast in your praise.

And he settles [the] hungry there, so that they may establish a city to inhabit,

and sow fields and plant vineyards, {that they may yield fruit at harvest}.

so that your beloved ones may be rescued. Save by your right hand and answer me.

Let [the] creditor seize all that [is] his, and let strangers plunder his property.

Let them be before Yahweh continually, that he may cut off their memory from [the] earth,

that they may know that this [is] your hand, [that] you, O Yahweh, you have done it.

Let them curse, but you bless. [When] they arise, let them be put to shame, that your servant may be glad.

What's with you, O sea, [that] you fled? O Jordan, [that] you turned back?

O mountains, [that] you skipped like rams? O hills, like lambs?

But our God [is] in the heavens; all that he desires, he does.

Open to me [the] gates of righteousness, that I may enter through them [and] give thanks to Yah.

You have commanded your precepts, that [we] should keep [them] diligently.

Oh that my ways were steadfast, to keep your statutes!

In my heart I have hidden your word, so that I may not sin against you.

Deal bountifully with your servant, that I may live and heed your word.

Uncover my eyes, that I may look at wonderful things from your law.

Make me understand the way of your precepts, that I may meditate on your wonderful things.

Give me understanding, that I may keep your law and heed it with [my] whole heart.

Turn away my disgrace that I dread, for your ordinances [are] good.

This [is] my comfort in my misery: that your word preserves my life.

This has been mine, that I have kept your precepts.

[It is] good for me that I was afflicted, so that I might learn your statutes.

Your hands have made me and established me; give me understanding that I may learn your commands.

I know, O Yahweh, that your judgments [are] right, and [that] in faithfulness you afflicted me.

Let your mercies come [to] me, that I may live, for your law [is] my delight.

May my heart be blameless in your statutes, so that I may not be ashamed.

According to your loyal love preserve me alive, so that I may heed the testimony from your mouth.

I have restrained my feet from every evil way, so that I may heed your word.

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 delivered, and have regard for your statutes continually.

I [am] your servant; give me understanding, that I may know your statutes.

Redeem me from [the] oppression of humankind, that I may heed your precepts.
