And brought out Israel from among them; for his loving kindness endures forever;

With a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm; for his loving kindness endures forever:

To him who divided the Sea of Suf apart; for his loving kindness endures forever;

And made Israel to pass through its midst; for his loving kindness endures forever;

But overthrew Pharaoh and his army in the Sea of Suf; for his loving kindness endures forever:

To him who led his people through the wilderness; for his loving kindness endures forever:

To him who struck great kings; for his loving kindness endures forever;

And killed mighty kings; for his loving kindness endures forever:

Sihon king of the Amorites; for his loving kindness endures forever;

Og king of Bashan; for his loving kindness endures forever;

And gave their land as an inheritance; for his loving kindness endures forever;

Even a heritage to Israel his servant; for his loving kindness endures forever:

Who remembered us in our low estate; for his loving kindness endures forever;

And has delivered us from our adversaries; for his loving kindness endures forever:

Who gives food to every creature; for his loving kindness endures forever.

Oh give thanks to the God of heaven; for his loving kindness endures forever.

For there, those who led us captive asked us for songs. Those who tormented us demanded songs of joy: "Sing us one of the songs of Zion."

I will bow down toward your holy temple, and give thanks to your Name for your loving kindness and for your truth; for you have exalted your Name and your Word above all.

All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, LORD, for they have heard the words of your mouth.

Yes, they will sing of the ways of the LORD; for great is the LORD's glory.

For though the LORD is high, yet he looks after the lowly; but the proud, he knows from afar.

For there is not a word on my tongue, but, behold, LORD, you know it altogether.

For you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother's womb.

I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well.

Your eyes saw my body. In your book they were all written, the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there were none of them.

For they speak against you wickedly. Your enemies take your name in vain.

those who devise mischief in their hearts. They continually gather themselves together for war.

The proud have hidden a snare for me, they have spread the cords of a net by the path. They have set traps for me. Selah.

As for the head of those who surround me, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

Let burning coals fall on them. Let them be thrown into the fire, into miry pits, from where they never rise.

I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and justice for the needy.

Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock. They will hear my words, for they are well spoken.

For my eyes are on you, LORD, the Lord. In you, I take refuge. Do not leave my soul destitute.

Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, from the traps of the workers of iniquity.

I cry with my voice to the LORD. With my voice, I ask the LORD for mercy.

When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, you knew my path. In the way in which I walk, they have hidden a snare for me.

Look on my right, and see; for there is no one who is concerned for me. Refuge has fled from me. No one cares for my soul.

Listen to my cry, for I am in desperate need. Deliver me from my persecutors, for they are stronger than me.

Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks to your name. The righteous will surround me, for you will be good to me.

Do not enter into judgment with your servant, for in your sight no man living is righteous.

For the enemy pursues my soul. He has struck my life down to the ground. He has made me live in dark places, as those who have been long dead.

I spread forth my hands to you. My soul thirsts for you, like a parched land. Selah.

Cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning, for I trust in you. Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to you.

Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness.

Revive me, LORD, for your name's sake. In your righteousness, bring my soul out of trouble.

In your loving kindness, cut off my enemies, and destroy all those who afflict my soul, For I am your servant.

LORD, what is man, that you care for him? Or the son of man, that you think of him?

The eyes of all wait for you. You give them their food in due season.

He will fulfill the desire of those who fear him. He also will hear their cry, and will save them.

Blessed is the one who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God,

who executes justice for the oppressed; who gives food to the hungry. The LORD frees the prisoners.

Praise the LORD, for it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant and fitting to praise him.

who covers the sky with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass grow on the mountains.

He provides food for the livestock, and for the young ravens when they call.

The LORD takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his loving kindness.

For he has strengthened the bars of your gates. He has blessed your children within you.

He has not done this for just any nation. They do not know his ordinances. Praise the LORD.

Let them praise the name of the LORD, For he commanded, and they were created.

let them praise the name of the LORD, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.

For the LORD takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with salvation.

Let the holy ones rejoice in honor. Let them sing for joy on their beds.

Praise the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary. Praise him in his heavens for his acts of power.

Praise him for his mighty acts. Praise him according to his excellent greatness.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; but the foolish despise wisdom and instruction.

for they will be a garland to grace your head, and a necklace around your neck.

If they say, "Come with us, Let's lie in wait for blood; let's lurk secretly for the innocent without cause;

for their feet run to evil. They hurry to shed blood.

For in vain is the net spread in the sight of any bird:

but these lie in wait for their own blood. They lurk secretly for their own lives.

So are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain. It takes away the life of its owners.

because they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD.

For the backsliding of the simple will kill them. The careless ease of fools will destroy them.

But whoever listens to me will dwell securely, and will be at ease, without fear of harm."

Yes, if you call out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding;

If you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures:

then you will understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.

For the LORD gives wisdom. Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.

He lays up sound wisdom for the upright. He is a shield to those who walk in integrity;

For wisdom will enter into your heart. Knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.

for her house leads down to death, her paths to the dead.

For the upright will dwell in the land. The perfect will remain in it.

for length of days, and years of life, and peace, will they add to you.

Do not be wise in your own eyes. Fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

for whom the LORD loves, he reproves; even as a father reproves the son in whom he delights.

For her good profit is better than getting silver, and her return is better than fine gold.

so they will be life to your soul, and grace for your neck.

Do not be afraid of sudden fear, or of the storm of the wicked when it comes:

for the LORD will be your confidence, and will keep your foot from being taken.

For the perverse is an abomination to the LORD, but his friendship is with the upright.

for I give you sound learning. Do not forsake my law.

For I was a son to my father, tender and an only child in the sight of my mother.

Take firm hold of instruction. Do not let her go. Keep her, for she is your life.

For they do not sleep, unless they do evil. Their sleep is taken away, unless they make someone fall.

For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.

For they are life to him who finds them, and health to all of his body.

Guard your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life.

Put away from yourself a perverse mouth. Put corrupt lips far from you.

For the lips of an adulteress drip honey. Her mouth is smoother than oil,

Remove your way far from her. Do not come near the door of her house,

Let them be for yourself alone, not for strangers with you.
