Whom have I in heaven but you? and having you I have no desire for anything on earth.

For those who are far away from you will come to destruction: you will put an end to all those who have not kept faith with you.

Of God, why have you put us away from you for ever? why is the fire of your wrath smoking against the sheep who are your care?

Keep in mind your band of worshippers, for whom you gave payment in the days which are past, whom you took for yourself as the people of your heritage; even this mountain of Zion, which has been your resting-place.

Those who are opposing you roar where we were meeting with you; they unfurl their war banners as signs.

They are known [to be] like [those who] {wield} axes in a thicket of trees.

We see no miraculous signs. There is no longer any prophet, neither is there among us anyone who knows how long.

O God, how long will those who are against us say cruel things? will the hater go on looking down on your name for ever?

Yet God is my king from of old,
Who works deeds of deliverance in the midst of the earth.

You crushed the heads of Leviathan; you fed him to the people who live along the coast.

It is I who judge with equity.

When the earth and all its inhabitants shake,

You, you are to be feared; who may keep his place before you in the time of your wrath?

Give to the Lord your God what is his by right; let all who are round him give offerings to him who is to be feared.

Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?

You are the God who does works of power: you have made your strength clear to the nations.

So that the generation to come might have knowledge of them, even the children of the future, who would give word of them to their children;

Then they will not be like their ancestors, who were a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that was not committed and faithful to God.

His raging anger lashed out against them, He sent fury, rage, and trouble as messengers who bring disaster.

Then the Lord awoke like [one who had been] asleep, [awoke] like a warrior who had been drunk with wine.

Give ear, O Keeper of Israel, guiding Joseph like a flock; you who have your seat on the winged ones, let your glory be seen.

Why have You broken down its walls
so that all who pass by pick its fruit?

When He went throughout the land of Egypt.

I am Yahweh your God,
who brought you up from the land of Egypt.

Those who hate the Lord
would pretend submission to Him;
their doom would last forever.

Arise, O God, judge the earth!
For it is You who possesses all the nations.

See how Your enemies make an uproar;
those who hate You have acted arrogantly.

How happy are those who reside in Your house,
who praise You continually.Selah

Blessed are those whose strength is in you; who have set their hearts on a pilgrimage.

Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.

O God, let your eyes be on him who is our safe cover, and let your heart be turned to your king.

He does not withhold the good
from those who live with integrity.

Happy is the person who trusts in You,
Lord of Hosts!

You are my God; save Your servant who trusts in You.

For You, Lord, are kind and ready to forgive,
rich in faithful love to all who call on You.

All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.

A song, a psalm written by the Korahites; for the music director; according to the machalath-leannoth style; a well-written song by Heman the Ezrachite. O Lord God who delivers me! By day I cry out and at night I pray before you.

I am numbered among those who go down into the earth; I have become like a man for whom there is no help:

abandoned among the dead.
I am like the slain lying in the grave,
whom You no longer remember,
and who are cut off from Your care.

You cause those who know me to keep their distance; you make me an appalling sight to them. I am trapped and cannot get free.

Will thou show wonders to the dead? Shall those who are deceased arise and praise thee? Selah.

You have sent my friends and lovers far from me; I am gone from the memory of those who are dear to me.

"I will establish your dynasty forever, and I will lift up one who will build your throne from generation to generation." Interlude

For who in the skies can compare with the Lord?
Who among the heavenly beings is like the Lord?

God is greatly feared in the council of the holy ones,
more awe-inspiring than all who surround Him.

Lord God of Hosts,
who is strong like You, Lord?
Your faithfulness surrounds You.

You crushed Rahab like one who is slain;
You scattered Your enemies with Your powerful arm.

Happy are the people who know the joyful shout;
Yahweh, they walk in the light of Your presence.

I have exalted one chosen from the people.

With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him.

and strike those who hate him.

All who pass by plunder him;

to his neighbors.

What man can live and never see death?
Who can save himself from the power of Sheol?Selah

Who understands the power of Your anger?
Your wrath matches the fear that is due You.

The one who lives under the protection of the Most High
dwells in the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”

For it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper
And from the deadly pestilence.

Because you have made the LORD, who is my refuge, even the most High, your habitation;

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

For, behold, Your enemies, O Lord,
For, behold, Your enemies will perish;
All who do iniquity will be scattered.

And [so] my eye looks on my enemies. My ears hear those evildoers who rise up against me.

They who are planted in the house of Yahweh, In the courts of our God, shall flourish;

They will proclaim: "The LORD is upright; my rock, in whom there is no injustice."

O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.

They pour forth words, they speak arrogantly;
All who do wickedness vaunt themselves.

They put to death the widow and the guest, they take the lives of children who have no father;

Give your mind to my words, you who are without wisdom among the people; you foolish men, when will you be wise?

Can the One who shaped the ear not hear,
the One who formed the eye not see?

The One who instructs nations,
the One who teaches man knowledge—
does He not discipline?

Happy is the man who is guided by you, O Jah, and to whom you give teaching out of your law;

Who stands up for me against the wicked?
Who takes a stand for me against evildoers?

Cruel rulers are not your allies, those who make oppressive laws.
