For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as a firebrand.

For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,

Because of thine indignation and thy wrath; for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.

But thou, Jehovah, abidest for ever, and thy memorial from generation to generation.

Thou wilt rise up, thou wilt have mercy upon Zion: for it is the time to be gracious to her, for the set time is come.

For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour her dust.

And the nations shall fear the name of Jehovah, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.

This shall be written for the generation to come; and a people that shall be created shall praise Jah:

For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from the heavens hath Jehovah beheld the earth,

Jehovah executeth righteousness and justice for all that are oppressed.

He will not always chide, neither will he keep his anger for ever.

For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving-kindness toward them that fear him.

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

As a father pitieth his children, so Jehovah pitieth them that fear him.

For himself knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.

As for man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth:

For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone, and the place thereof knoweth it no more.

But the loving-kindness of Jehovah is from everlasting and to everlasting, upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children,

Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flame of fire.

He laid the earth upon its foundations: it shall not be removed for ever.

The mountains rose, the valleys sank, unto the place which thou hadst founded for them; --

He maketh the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man; bringing forth bread out of the earth,

Where the birds make their nests; as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.

The high mountains are for the wild goats; the cliffs, a refuge for the rock-badgers.

He made the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth its going down.

The glory of Jehovah will endure for ever; Jehovah will rejoice in his works.

And he confirmed it unto Jacob for a statute, unto Israel for an everlasting covenant,

He suffered no man to oppress them, and reproved kings for their sakes,

And he called for a famine upon the land; he broke the whole staff of bread.

He sent a man before them: Joseph was sold for a bondman.

The king sent and loosed him the ruler of peoples and let him go free.

He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land;

Egypt rejoiced at their departure; for the fear of them had fallen upon them.

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

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

Hallelujah! Give ye thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; for his loving-kindness endureth for ever.

Yet he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make known his might.

They soon forgot his works; they waited not for his counsel:

And fire was kindled in their company; a flame burned up the wicked.

And that was reckoned unto him for righteousness, from generation to generation, for evermore.

For they provoked his spirit, so that he spoke unadvisedly with his lips.

Often did he deliver them; but as for them they provoked him by their counsel, and they were brought low by their iniquity.

And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his loving-kindnesses;

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

Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous works to the children of men;

For he hath satisfied the longing soul and filled the hungry soul with good.

Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous works to the children of men;

For he hath broken the gates of bronze, and cut asunder the bars of iron.

Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous works to the children of men,

For he speaketh, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof:

They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and they are at their wits' end:

Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous works to the children of men;

A fruitful land into a plain of salt, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

For thy loving-kindness is great above the heavens, and thy truth is unto the clouds.

Give us help from trouble; for vain is man's deliverance.

For the mouth of the wicked man and the mouth of deceit are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue,

For my love they are mine adversaries; but I give myself unto prayer.

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

Let his sons be vagabonds and beg, and let them seek their bread far from their desolate places;

And he loved cursing; so let it come unto him. And he delighted not in blessing; and let it be far from him.

Let it be unto him as a garment with which he covereth himself, and for a girdle wherewith he is constantly girded.

But do thou for me, Jehovah, Lord, for thy name's sake; because thy loving-kindness is good, deliver me:

For I am afflicted and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.

For he standeth at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those that judge his soul.

Jehovah hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art priest for ever after the order of Melchisedek.

His work is majesty and splendour, and his righteousness abideth for ever.

He hath given meat unto them that fear him; he is ever mindful of his covenant.

Maintained for ever and ever, done in truth and uprightness.

He sent deliverance unto his people; he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and terrible is his name.

The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do his precepts: his praise abideth for ever.

Wealth and riches shall be in his house; and his righteousness abideth for ever.

For he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

He scattereth abroad, he giveth to the needy; his righteousness abideth for ever: his horn shall be exalted with honour.

Blessed be the name of Jehovah, from this time forth and for evermore!

Not unto us, O Jehovah, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth's sake.

Ye that fear Jehovah, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.

He will bless them that fear Jehovah, both the small and the great.

But we will bless Jah from this time forth and for evermore. Hallelujah!

I love Jehovah, for he hath heard my voice and my supplications;

For he hath inclined his ear unto me, and I will call upon him during all my days.

Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for Jehovah hath dealt bountifully with thee.

For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, my feet from falling.

I believed, therefore have I spoken. As for me, I was greatly afflicted.

What shall I render unto Jehovah, for all his benefits toward me?

Yea, Jehovah! for I am thy servant; I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.

For his loving-kindness is great toward us, and the truth of Jehovah endureth for ever. Hallelujah!

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

Oh let Israel say, that his loving-kindness endureth for ever.

Oh let the house of Aaron say, that his loving-kindness endureth for ever.

Oh let them that fear Jehovah say, that his loving-kindness endureth for ever.

Jehovah is for me, I will not fear; what can man do unto me?

Jehovah is for me among them that help me; and I shall see my desire upon them that hate me.

They encompassed me like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of Jehovah have I destroyed them.

I will give thee thanks, for thou hast answered me, and art become my salvation.

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

My soul breaketh for longing after thy judgments at all times.

Roll off from me reproach and contempt; for I observe thy testimonies.

My soul melteth for sadness: strengthen me according to thy word.

Make me to walk in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight.

Establish thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear.
