{A Song of degrees. Of David.} If it had not been Jehovah who was for us oh let Israel say --

If it had not been Jehovah who was for us, when men rose up against us,

Blessed be Jehovah, who gave us not up a prey to their teeth!

Our help is in the name of Jehovah, the maker of heavens and earth.

{A Song of degrees.} They that confide in Jehovah are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved; it abideth for ever.

Jerusalem! mountains are round about her, and Jehovah is round about his people, from henceforth and for evermore.

Do good, O Jehovah, unto the good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.

But as for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, Jehovah will lead them forth with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel!

{A Song of degrees.} When Jehovah turned the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.

Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with rejoicing: then said they among the nations, Jehovah hath done great things for them.

Jehovah hath done great things for us; and we are joyful.

Turn our captivity, O Jehovah, as the streams in the south.

{A Song of degrees. Of Solomon.} Unless Jehovah build the house, in vain do its builders labour in it; unless Jehovah keep the city, the keeper watcheth in vain:

Lo, children are an inheritance from Jehovah, and the fruit of the womb a reward.

{A Song of degrees.} Blessed is every one that feareth Jehovah, that walketh in his ways.

Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that feareth Jehovah.

Jehovah will bless thee out of Zion; and mayest thou see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life,

Jehovah is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

Neither do the passers-by say, The blessing of Jehovah be upon you; we bless you in the name of Jehovah!

{A Song of degrees.} Out of the depths do I call upon thee, Jehovah.

I wait for Jehovah; my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.

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

{A Song of degrees. Of David.} Jehovah, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty; neither do I exercise myself in great matters, and in things too wonderful for me.

Let Israel hope in Jehovah, from henceforth and for evermore.

{A Song of degrees.} Jehovah, remember for David all his affliction;

How he swore unto Jehovah, vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob:

Until I find out a place for Jehovah, habitations for the Mighty One of Jacob. ...

Arise, Jehovah, into thy rest, thou and the ark of thy strength.

Jehovah hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it: Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne;

For Jehovah hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his dwelling:

As the dew of Hermon that descendeth on the mountains of Zion; for there hath Jehovah commanded the blessing, life for evermore.

{A Song of degrees.} Behold, bless Jehovah, all ye servants of Jehovah, who by night stand in the house of Jehovah.

Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless Jehovah.

Jehovah, the maker of heavens and earth, bless thee out of Zion.

Hallelujah! Praise the name of Jehovah; praise, ye servants of Jehovah,

Ye that stand in the house of Jehovah, in the courts of the house of our God.

Praise ye Jah; for Jehovah is good: sing psalms unto his name; for it is pleasant.

For I know that Jehovah is great, and our Lord is above all gods.

Whatsoever Jehovah pleased, he hath done in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all deeps;

Thy name, O Jehovah, is for ever; thy memorial, O Jehovah, from generation to generation.

For Jehovah will judge his people, and will repent in favour of his servants.

House of Israel, bless ye Jehovah; house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah;

House of Levi, bless ye Jehovah; ye that fear Jehovah, bless Jehovah.

Blessed be Jehovah out of Zion, who dwelleth at Jerusalem! Hallelujah!

Give ye thanks unto Jehovah, for he is good; for his loving-kindness endureth for ever:

How should we sing a song of Jehovah's upon a foreign soil?

Remember, O Jehovah, against the sons of Edom, the day of Jerusalem; who said, Lay it bare, Lay it bare, down to its foundation!

All the kings of the earth shall celebrate thee, Jehovah, when they have heard the words of thy mouth;

And they shall sing in the ways of Jehovah, for great is the glory of Jehovah.

For Jehovah is high; but he looketh upon the lowly, and the proud he knoweth afar off.

Jehovah will perfect what concerneth me: thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, endureth for ever; forsake not the works of thine own hands.

{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} Jehovah, thou hast searched me, and known me.

For there is not yet a word on my tongue, but lo, O Jehovah, thou knowest it altogether.

Do not I hate them, O Jehovah, that hate thee? and do not I loathe them that rise up against thee?

{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} Free me, O Jehovah, from the evil man; preserve me from the violent man:

Keep me, O Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked man, preserve me from the violent man, who devise to overthrow my steps.

I have said unto Jehovah, Thou art my God: give ear, O Jehovah, to the voice of my supplications.

Jehovah, the Lord, is the strength of my salvation: thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.

Grant not, O Jehovah, the desire of the wicked; further not his device: they would exalt themselves. Selah.

I know that Jehovah will maintain the cause of the afflicted one, the right of the needy.

{A Psalm of David.} Jehovah, I have called upon thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I call unto thee.

Set a watch, O Jehovah, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

For unto thee, Jehovah, Lord, are mine eyes; in thee do I trust: leave not my soul destitute.

{An instruction of David; when he was in the cave: a prayer.} I cry unto Jehovah with my voice: with my voice unto Jehovah do I make supplication.

I cried unto thee, Jehovah; I said, Thou art my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.

{A Psalm of David.} Jehovah, hear my prayer; give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, in thy righteousness.

Answer me speedily, O Jehovah; my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, or I shall be like unto them that go down into the pit.

Deliver me, O Jehovah, from mine enemies: unto thee do I flee for refuge.

Revive me, O Jehovah, for thy name's sake; in thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble;

{A Psalm of David.} Blessed be Jehovah my rock, who teacheth my hands to war, my fingers to fight;

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

Jehovah, bow thy heavens, and come down; touch the mountains, that they smoke;

Blessed the people that is in such a case! Blessed the people whose God is Jehovah!

Great is Jehovah, and exceedingly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.

Jehovah is gracious and merciful; slow to anger, and of great loving-kindness.

All thy works shall praise thee, Jehovah, and thy saints shall bless thee.

Jehovah upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all that are bowed down.

Jehovah is righteous in all his ways, and kind in all his works.

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

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

My mouth shall speak the praise of Jehovah; and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.

Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah, O my soul.

As long as I live will I praise Jehovah; I will sing psalms unto my God while I have my being.

Blessed is he who hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Jehovah his God,

Who executeth judgment for the oppressed, who giveth bread to the hungry. Jehovah looseth the prisoners;

Jehovah openeth the eyes of the blind; Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down; Jehovah loveth the righteous;

Jehovah preserveth the strangers; he lifteth up the fatherless and the widow; but the way of the wicked doth he subvert.

Jehovah will reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, from generation to generation. Halleluiah!

Jehovah doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth the outcasts of Israel.

Jehovah lifteth up the meek; he abaseth the wicked to the earth.

Sing unto Jehovah with thanksgiving; sing psalms upon the harp unto our God:

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

Laud Jehovah, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.

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

Let them praise the name of Jehovah, for he it is that commanded, and they were created:

Praise Jehovah from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;

Let them praise the name of Jehovah: for his name alone is exalted; his majesty is above the earth and the heavens.

Hallelujah! Sing unto Jehovah a new song; sing his praise in the congregation of the godly.

For Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people; he beautifieth the meek with salvation.
