Passing through the balsam-vale, A place of fountains, they make it, Yea, with blessings, is it covered by the early rain.

For better is a day in thy courts, than a thousand, I choose rather to stand at the threshold in the house of my God, Than to dwell in the tents of lawlessness.

For, a sun and shield, is Yahweh God, - Grace and glory, will Yahweh give, He will not withhold what is good, from them who walk without blame.

Restore us, O God of our salvation, And take away thy vexation towards us.

To times age-abiding, wilt thou be angry with us? Wilt thou prolong thine anger, from generation to generation?

Wilt not, thou thyself, again give us life, That, thy people, may rejoice in thee.

Show us, O Yahweh, thy lovingkindness, And, thy salvation, wilt thou grant us.

Surely, near unto them who revere him, is his salvation, That the Glory, may settle down, in our land.

Yahweh himself too, will give us the blessing, And, our land, shall yield her increase.

There is none like unto thee, among the gods, O My Lord, And nothing like thy works.

For, thy lovingkindness, is great towards me, And thou hast rescued my soul from Hades beneath.

His foundation, is in the holy mountains:

As well the singers as the flute-players are saying , - All my springs, are in thee!

For my soul, is sated with misfortunes, And, my life - unto Hades, hath drawn near;

I am counted with them who descend into the pit, I have become as a man that is without help;

Among the dead, is my couch, - Like the slain that lie in the grave, Where thou rememberest them no more, Yea, they, from thy hand, are cut off;

For I said, To times age-abiding, shall lovingkindness be built up, As for the heavens, thou wilt establish thy faithfulness therein.

O Yahweh, God of hosts! Who, like thee, is mighty, O Yah! With thy faithfulness round about thee:

Thou, hast crushed - as one slain - Rahab, With thy strong arm, hast thou scattered thy foes.

Thine is an arm with might, Strong is thy hand, High is thy right hand;

Therefore will I appoint, to futurity, his seed, And his throne as the days of the heavens.

Who is the man that shall live, and not see death? That can deliver his soul from the hand of hades. Selah.

BOOK THE FOURTH Lord! a dwelling-place, hast, thou, become to us, From generation to generation:

For, a thousand years, in thine eyes, are , As yesterday, in that it passed away, Or as a watch in the night.

In the morning, it sprouteth and shooteth up, By the evening, it is cut down and withered.

The days of our years, have, in them, three score years and ten, And, if, by reason of strength, they have fourscore years, Yet, their boast, is labour and sorrow, For it hath passed quickly, and we have flown away.

Who knoweth the strength of thine anger? Even, according to the fear of thee, is thy wrath!

How to number our days, so grant us to know, That we may win us a heart that hath wisdom.

Satisfy us, in the morning, with thy lovingkindness, That we may shout aloud and be glad, Throughout all our days.

Make us glad, according to, The days thou hast humbled us, The years we have seen misfortune:

And let the delightfulness of Adonay our God be upon us, - And, the work of our hands, establish thou upon us, Yea, the work of our hands, establish thou it.

With his pinion, will he cover thee, And, under his wings, shalt thou seek refuge, A shield and buckler, is his faithfulness.

It is good to give thanks to Yahweh, And to sing praises unto thy Name, O Most High;

A man that is brutish, cannot know, And, dullard, cannot discern this: -

When the lawless do thrive like grass, And all the workers of iniquity have blossomed, It is that they may be destroyed for ever.

But thou wilt exalt, as those of the buffalo, my horn, I have been anointed, with fresh oil.

To declare that upright is Yahweh, My Rock, and no perversity in him.

Yahweh, hath become king, With majesty, is he clothed, - Clothed is Yahweh, With strength, hath he girded himself, Surely he hath fixed the world, It shall not be shaken.

With the sounds of many waters, Majestic are the breakers of the sea, Majestic on high, is Yahweh.

Thy testimonies, are strongly confirmed, To thy house, befitting is holiness, O Yahweh - to length of days.

Come, let us make a joyful noise to Yahweh, Let us shout in triumph, to the rock of our salvation!

O let us come before his face with thanksgiving, With the sounds of strings, let us shout aloud to him.

For, a great GOD, is Yahweh, And a great king, above all gods.

In whose hand, are the hidden recesses of the earth, And, the peaks of the mountains, are his;

Whose, is the sea, for, he, made it, And, the dry land, his hands, did form.

Enter! let us bow down, and bend low, Let us kneel, before Yahweh our maker;

For, he, is our God, And, we, are the people of his pasture, and the flock of his hand? To-day, if, to his voice, ye will hearken,

Do not harden your heart as at Meribah, As on the day of Massah, in the desert;

Sing to Yahweh, a song that is new, Sing to Yahweh, all the earth;

For great is Yahweh, and worthy to be mightily praised, To be revered is he above all gods;

Let the field, leap for joy, and all that is therein, Then, shall all the trees of the forest, shout in triumph,

Before Yahweh, for he is coming, For he is coming to judge the earth, - He will judge the world, in righteousness, And the peoples, in his faithfulness.

Light, is sown for the righteous one, And, for the upright in heart, rejoicing:

Sing to Yahweh, a song that is new, For, wonderful things, hath he done, His own right hand and hi holy arm, have brought him salvation.

Before Yahweh, for he is coming - to judge the earth, - He will judge the world, in righteousness, And the peoples, with equity.

Yahweh, hath become king, Let the peoples, tremble, He is enthroned on the cherubim, Let the earth, shake.

Yahweh, in Zion, is great, And, high, is he over all the peoples.

Let them thank his Name - great and reverend, Holy, is he!

Exalt Yahweh our God, And bow down at his footstool, Holy, is he!

Exalt Yahweh our God, And bow down towards his holy mountain, For, holy, is Yahweh our God.

Know that, Yahweh, he, is God, - He, made us, and not, we ourselves, His people, and the flock of his pasture.

For good is Yahweh, Age-abiding is his lovingkindness, And, unto generation after generation, his faithfulness.

Smitten like herbage, so is my heart dried up, For I have forgotten to eat my food.

I am like the pelican of the desert, I have become as an owl among ruins.

My days, are like a shadow extended, And, I, as green herbage, do wither.

Thou, wilt arise, wilt have compassion upon Zion, Surely it is time to favour her, Surely the time appointed, hath come;

They, shall perish, But, thou, wilt abide; And, they all, like a garment, shall fall in pieces, As a vesture, wilt thou change them and they shall vanish;

Bless, O my soul, Yahweh, - And all that is within me, his holy Name;

Yahweh is one, who executeth righteousness, Yea vindication for all the oppressed.

Compassionate and gracious, is Yahweh, - Slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness.

Not according to our sins, hath he dealt with us, Nor according to our iniquities, hath he treated us.

For, as the heavens are exalted over the earth, His lovingkindness hath prevailed over them who revere him;

As far as East from West, Hath he put far from us, our transgressions;

Like the compassion of a father for his children, Is, the compassion of Yahweh, for them who revere him;

For, he, knoweth how we are formed, He is mindful that, dust, we are.

As for man, like grass, are his days, Like the blossom of the field, so, doth he blossom;

For, a wind, hath passed ever it, and it is gone, And its own place is acquainted with it no more.

But, the lovingkindness of Yahweh, is from one age even to another, Upon them who revere him, And his righteousness, to children's children: -

To such as keep his covenant, And remember his precepts, to do them.

Putting on light, as a robe, Stretching out the heavens, as a curtain;

He hath fixed the earth on its foundations, It is not to be shaken, to times age-abiding and beyond.

With the resounding deep - as a garment, hast thou covered it, Above the mountains, stand the waters;

How thy works abound, O Yahweh! All of them - in wisdom, hast thou made, The earth is full of thy possession: -

This sea here, is great and broad on both hands, - Wherein are creeping things, even without number, Living things, small with great;

I will sing to Yahweh, as long as I live! Yea I will touch the strings to my God, while I continue;

Yahweh himself, is our God, Through all the land, are his just decision.

And confirmed if unto Jacob for a statute, To Israel, as a covenant age-abiding;

Saying, To thee, will I give the land of Canaan, As your inherited portion;

While as yet they were men easily counted, - A very few, and sojourners therein;

That he might bind his rulers as he pleased, And, his elders, he might embue with wisdom.

He spread out a cloud as a covering, And fire, to give light by night,

He opened the rock, and there gushed forth waters, They flowed along, through parched places, as a river;

Praise ye Yah, Give ye thanks to Yahweh - For he is good, For age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.

So he rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up, And he led them through deeps, as pasture-land;

Save us, O Yahweh our God, and gather us from among the nations, That we may give thanks unto thy holy Name, That we may triumph aloud in thy praise.

BOOK THE FIFTHO give thanks to Yahweh - For he is good, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.

They reel and stagger, like a drunken man, and, all their wisdom, is engulfed,

The upright seeth and is glad, And, all perverseness, hath closed her mouth.

Who is wise? then let him observe these things! and diligently consider the lovingkindness of Yahweh.

Fixed, is my heart, O God, I will sing and touch the strings, even mine honour.
