"Come," they say, "and let's destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more."

As the fire that burns the forest, as the flame that sets the mountains on fire,

Fill their faces with confusion, that they may seek your name, 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. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

Won't you revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?

Surely his salvation is near those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.

Yes, the LORD will give that which is good. Our land will yield its increase.

Show me a sign of your goodness, that those who hate me may see it, and be shamed, because you, LORD, have helped me, and comforted me.

The LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

Yes, of Zion it will be said, "This one and that one was born in her;" the Most High himself will establish her.

Who knows the power of your anger, your wrath according to the fear that is due to you?

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

Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day;

nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday.

They will bear you up in their hands, so that you won't dash your foot against a stone.

But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox. I am anointed with fresh oil.

to show that the LORD is upright. He is my Rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile.

that you may give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit is dug for the wicked.

for he is our God. We are the people of his pasture, and the sheep in his care. Today, oh that you would hear his voice.

Forty long years I was grieved with that generation, and said, "It is a people that errs in their heart. They have not known my ways."

Let the field and all that is in it exult. Then all the trees of the woods shall sing for joy

He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud. They kept his testimonies, the statute that he gave them.

Know that the LORD, he 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 will be on the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me. He who walks in a perfect way, he will serve me.

I watch, and have become like a sparrow that is alone on the housetop.

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

that men may declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;

Praise the LORD, my soul. All that is within me, praise his holy name.

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

For he knows how we are made. He remembers that we are dust.

He laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be moved forever.

You have set a boundary that they may not pass over; that they do not turn again to cover the earth.

He causes the grass to grow for the livestock, and plants for man to cultivate, that he may bring forth food out of the earth:

wine that makes glad the heart of man, oil to make his face to shine, and bread that strengthens man's heart.

These all wait for you, that you may give them their food in due season.

Remember his marvelous works that he has done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,

until the time that his word happened, and the LORD's word proved him true.

He increased his people greatly, and made them stronger than their adversaries.

that they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Praise the LORD.

Remember me, LORD, with the favor that you show to your people. Visit me with your salvation,

that I may see the prosperity of your chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation, that I may glory with your inheritance.

Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his mighty power known.

Thus they exchanged their glory for an image of a bull that eats grass.

Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had Moses, his chosen, not stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, so that he wouldn't destroy them.

Therefore he swore to them that he would overthrow them in the wilderness,

that he would overthrow their seed among the nations, and scatter them in the lands.

That was credited to him for righteousness, for all generations to come.

They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, so that Moses was troubled for their sakes;

he led them also by a straight way, that they might go to a city to live in.

He makes the storm a calm, so that its waves are still.

There he makes the hungry live, that they may prepare a city to live in,

He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly. He doesn't allow their livestock to decrease.

That your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand, and answer us.

Let the creditor seize all that he has. Let strangers plunder the fruit of his labor.

Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth;

Let it be to him as the clothing with which he covers himself, for the belt that is always around him.

that they may know that this is your hand; that you, LORD, have done it.

that he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.

What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Jordan, that you turned back?

You mountains, that you skipped like rams; you little hills, like lambs?

Let Israel now say that his loving kindness endures forever.

Let the house of Aaron now say that his loving kindness endures forever.

Now let those who fear the LORD say that his loving kindness endures forever.

It is better to take refuge in the LORD, than to put confidence in man.

It is better to take refuge in the LORD, than to put confidence in princes.

This is the day that the LORD has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.

You have commanded your precepts, that we should fully obey them.

Oh that my ways were steadfast to obey your statutes.

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

Open my eyes, that I may see wondrous things out of your Law.

Fulfill your promise to your servant, that you may be feared.

Take away my disgrace that I dread, for your ordinances are good.

This is my way, that I keep your precepts.

It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn your statutes.

The Law you have spoken is better to me than thousands of pieces of gold and silver.

YOD Your hands have made me and formed me. Give me understanding, that I may learn your commandments.

LORD, I know that your judgments are righteous, that in faithfulness you have humbled me.

Let your tender mercies come to me, that I may live; for your Law is my delight.

Let my heart be blameless toward your decrees, that I may not be disappointed.

Your commandments make me wiser than my enemies, for your commandments are always with me.

I have more understanding than all my teachers, for your testimonies are my meditation.

I understand more than the aged, because I have kept your precepts.

I have kept my feet from every evil way, that I might observe your word.

How sweet are your promises to my taste, more than honey to my mouth.

I have sworn, and have confirmed it, that I will obey your righteous ordinances.

Depart from me, you evildoers, that I may keep the commandments of my God.

Uphold me according to your word, that I may live. Let me not be ashamed of my hope.

I am your servant. Give me understanding, that I may know your testimonies.

Therefore I love your commandments more than gold, yes, more than pure gold.

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

My eyes stay open through the night watches, that I might meditate on your word.

Of old I have known from your testimonies, that you have founded them forever.

Let my soul live, that I may praise you. Let your ordinances help me.

Woe is me, that I live in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar.

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

For the scepter of wickedness won't remain over the allotment of the righteous; so that the righteous won't use their hands to do evil.

My soul longs for the Lord more than watchmen long for the morning; more than watchmen for the morning.
