For you are the glory of their strength. In your favor, our horn will be exalted.

For our shield belongs to Yahweh; our king to the Holy One of Israel.

I will keep my loving kindness for him forevermore. My covenant will stand firm with him.

How long, Yahweh? Will you hide yourself forever? Will your wrath burn like fire?

Remember how short my time is! For what vanity have you created all the children of men!

Lord, you have been our dwelling place for all generations.

For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday when it is past, like a watch in the night.

For we are consumed in your anger. We are troubled in your wrath.

For all our days have passed away in your wrath. We bring our years to an end as a sigh.

The days of our years are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty years; yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for it passes quickly, and we fly away.

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

Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen evil.

Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us; establish the work of our hands for us; yes, establish the work of our hands.

For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence.

For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways.

I will satisfy him with long life, and show him my salvation." A Psalm. A song for the Sabbath day.

For you, Yahweh, have made me glad through your work. I will triumph in the works of your hands.

For, behold, your enemies, Yahweh, for, behold, your enemies shall perish. All the evildoers will be scattered.

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

For Yahweh won't reject his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.

For judgment will return to righteousness. All the upright in heart shall follow it.

Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against the evildoers?

For Yahweh is a great God, a great King above all gods.

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!

For great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised! He is to be feared above all gods.

For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but Yahweh made the heavens.

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

before Yahweh; for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, the peoples with his truth.

A fire goes before him, and burns up his adversaries on every side.

For you, Yahweh, are most high above all the earth. You are exalted far above all gods.

Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.

Sing to Yahweh a new song, for he has done marvelous things! His right hand, and his holy arm, have worked salvation for him.

Make a joyful noise to Yahweh, all the earth! Burst out and sing for joy, yes, sing praises!

Let the rivers clap their hands. Let the mountains sing for joy together.

Let them sing before Yahweh, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity.

You answered them, Yahweh our God. You are a God who forgave them, although you took vengeance for their doings.

Exalt Yahweh, our God. Worship at his holy hill, for Yahweh, our God, is holy! A Psalm of thanksgiving.

Shout for joy to Yahweh, all you lands!

For Yahweh is good. His loving kindness endures forever, his faithfulness to all generations. A Psalm by David.

A perverse heart will be far from me. I will have nothing to do with evil.

For my days consume away like smoke. My bones are burned as a torch.

My heart is blighted like grass, and withered, for I forget to eat my bread.

For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mixed my drink with tears,

Because of your indignation and your wrath, for you have taken me up, and thrown me away.

You will arise and have mercy on Zion; for it is time to have pity on her. Yes, the set time has come.

For your servants take pleasure in her stones, and have pity on her dust.

So the nations will fear the name of Yahweh; all the kings of the earth your glory.

For Yahweh has built up Zion. He has appeared in his glory.

This will be written for the generation to come. A people which will be created will praise Yah.

For he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary. From heaven, Yahweh saw the earth;

to hear the groans of the prisoner; to free those who are condemned to death;

Yahweh executes righteous acts, and justice for all who are oppressed.

He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor repaid us for our iniquities.

For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving kindness toward those who fear him.

As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

Like a father has compassion on his children, so Yahweh has compassion on those who fear him.

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

As for man, his days are like grass. As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

For the wind passes over it, and it is gone. Its place remembers it no more.

But Yahweh's loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him, his righteousness to children's children;

He makes his messengers winds; his servants flames of fire.

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:

where the birds make their nests. The stork makes its home in the fir trees.

The high mountains are for the wild goats. The rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers.

He appointed the moon for seasons. The sun knows when to set.

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

and confirmed the same to Jacob for a statute; to Israel for an everlasting covenant,

He allowed no one to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,

He called for a famine on the land. He destroyed the food supplies.

He sent a man before them. Joseph was sold for a slave.

The king sent and freed him; even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.

He gave them hail for rain, with lightning in their land.

Egypt was glad when they departed, for the fear of them had fallen on them.

He spread a cloud for a covering, fire to give light in the night.

For he remembered his holy word, and Abraham, his servant.

Praise Yahweh! Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.

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

They soon forgot his works. They didn't wait for his counsel,

A fire was kindled in their company. The flame burned up the wicked.

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

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 remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.

Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.

Let them praise Yahweh for his loving kindness, for his wonderful works to the children of men!

For he satisfies the longing soul. He fills the hungry soul with good.

Let them praise Yahweh for his loving kindness, for his wonderful works to the children of men!

For he has broken the gates of brass, and cut through bars of iron.

Let them praise Yahweh for his loving kindness, for his wonderful works to the children of men!

For he commands, and raises the stormy wind, which lifts up its waves.

Let them praise Yahweh for his loving kindness, for his wonderful works for the children of men!

and a fruitful land into a salt waste, for the wickedness of those who dwell in it.

For your loving kindness is great above the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

Give us help against the enemy, for the help of man is vain.

Through God, we will do valiantly. For it is he who will tread down our enemies. For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.

for they have opened the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit against me. They have spoken to me with a lying tongue.

In return for my love, they are my adversaries; but I am in prayer.

They have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.

Yes, he loved cursing, and it came to him. He didn't delight in blessing, and it was far from him.

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