This is written for a later generation, And the people created do praise Jah.

For He hath looked From the high place of His sanctuary. Jehovah from heaven unto earth looked attentively,

Jehovah is doing righteousness and judgments For all the oppressed.

Not for ever doth He strive, Nor to the age doth He watch.

For, as the height of the heavens is above the earth, His kindness hath been mighty over those fearing Him.

As the distance of east from west He hath put far from us our transgressions.

For He hath known our frame, Remembering that we are dust.

For a wind hath passed over it, and it is not, And its place doth not discern it any more.

Making His messengers -- the winds, His ministers -- the flaming fire.

He hath founded earth on its bases, It is not moved to the age and for ever.

They go up hills -- they go down valleys, Unto a place Thou hast founded for them.

Causing grass to spring up for cattle, And herb for the service of man, To bring forth bread from the earth,

The high hills are for wild goats, Rocks are a refuge for conies,

He made the moon for seasons, The sun hath known his place of entrance.

The young lions are roaring for prey, And to seek from God their food.

And doth establish it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel -- a covenant age-during,

He hath not suffered any to oppress them And He reproveth for their sakes kings.

He hath sent before them a man, For a servant hath Joseph been sold.

He hath made their showers hail, A flaming fire is in their land.

Rejoiced hath Egypt in their going forth, For their fear had fallen upon them.

He hath spread a cloud for a covering, And fire to enlighten the night.

For He hath remembered His holy word, With Abraham His servant,

Praise ye Jah, give thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age, is His kindness.

And He saveth them for His name's sake, To make known His might,

They have hasted -- forgotten His works, They have not waited for His counsel.

And fire burneth among their company, A flame setteth on fire the wicked.

And they cause wrath by the waters of Meribah, And it is evil to Moses for their sakes,

For they have provoked his spirit, And he speaketh wrongfully with his lips.

And serve their idols, And they are to them for a snare.

And remembereth for them His covenant, And is comforted, According to the abundance of His kindness.

And He appointeth them for mercies Before all their captors.

Give ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age is His kindness:'

For He hath satisfied a longing soul, And a hungry soul hath filled with goodness.

For He hath broken doors of brass, And bars of iron He hath cut.

They reel to and fro, and move as a drunkard, And all their wisdom is swallowed up.

A fruitful land becometh a barren place, For the wickedness of its inhabitants.

For great above the heavens is Thy kindness, And unto the clouds Thy truth.

Moab is a pot for my washing, Upon Edom I cast my shoe, Over Philistia I shout habitually.

For the mouth of wickedness, and the mouth of deceit, Against me they have opened, They have spoken with me -- A tongue of falsehood, and words of hatred!

For my love they oppose me, and I -- prayer!

And they set against me evil for good, And hatred for my love.

In his being judged, he goeth forth wicked, And his prayer is for sin.

An exactor layeth a snare for all that he hath, And strangers spoil his labour.

His posterity is for cutting off, In another generation is their name blotted out.

And he loveth reviling, and it meeteth him, And he hath not delighted in blessing, And it is far from him.

It is to him as apparel -- he covereth himself, And for a continual girdle he girdeth it on.

And Thou, O Jehovah Lord, Deal with me for Thy name's sake, Because Thy kindness is good, deliver me.

For I am poor and needy, And my heart hath been pierced in my midst.

For He standeth at the right hand of the needy, To save from those judging his soul.

Thy people are free-will gifts in the day of Thy strength, in the honours of holiness, From the womb, from the morning, Thou hast the dew of thy youth.

Honourable and majestic is His work, And His righteousness is standing for ever.

They are sustained for ever to the age. They are made in truth and uprightness.

The beginning of wisdom is fear of Jehovah, Good understanding have all doing them, His praise is standing for ever!

Wealth and riches are in his house, And his righteousness is standing for ever.

For -- to the age he is not moved; For a memorial age-during is the righteous.

He hath scattered -- hath given to the needy, His righteousness is standing for ever, His horn is exalted with honour.

Not to us, O Jehovah, not to us, But to Thy name give honour, For Thy kindness, for Thy truth.

Turn back, O my soul, to thy rest, For Jehovah hath conferred benefits on thee.

For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, my feet from overthrowing.

I have believed, for I speak, I -- I have been afflicted greatly.

Precious in the eyes of Jehovah is the death for His saints.

Cause it to come, O Jehovah, for I am Thy servant. I am Thy servant, son of Thy handmaid, Thou hast opened my bonds.

For mighty to us hath been His kindness, And the truth of Jehovah is to the age. Praise ye Jah!

Give ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age is His kindness.

Jehovah is for me, I do not fear what man doth to me.

Jehovah is for me among my helpers, And I -- I look on those hating me.

They compassed me about as bees, They have been extinguished as a fire of thorns, In the name of Jehovah I surely cut them off.

My strength and song is Jah, And He is to me for salvation.

I thank Thee, for Thou hast answered me, And art to me for salvation.

Give ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age, is His kindness!

Broken hath my soul for desire Unto Thy judgments at all times.

Remove from me reproach and contempt, For Thy testimonies I have kept.

The way of Thy commands I run, For Thou dost enlarge my heart!

Cause me to tread in the path of Thy commands, For in it I have delighted.

Establish to Thy servant Thy saying, That is concerning Thy fear.

Remove my reproach that I have feared, For Thy judgments are good.

Lo, I have longed for Thy precepts, In Thy righteousness quicken Thou me,

And I answer him who is reproaching me a word, For I have trusted in Thy word.

And Thou takest not utterly away From my mouth the word of truth, Because for Thy judgment I have hoped.

And I keep Thy law continually, To the age and for ever.

And I walk habitually in a broad place, For Thy precepts I have sought.

At midnight I rise to give thanks to Thee, For the judgments of Thy righteousness.

A companion I am to all who fear Thee, And to those keeping Thy precepts.

The goodness of reason and knowledge teach me, For in Thy commands I have believed.

Good for me that I have been afflicted, That I might learn Thy statutes.

Those fearing Thee see me and rejoice, Because for Thy word I have hoped.

Meet me do Thy mercies, and I live, For Thy law is my delight.

Ashamed are the proud, For with falsehood they dealt perversely with me. I meditate in Thy precepts.

Kaph. Consumed for Thy salvation hath been my soul, For Thy word I have hoped.

Consumed have been mine eyes for Thy word, Saying, 'When doth it comfort me?'

For I have been as a bottle in smoke, Thy statutes I have not forgotten.

The proud have digged for me pits, That are not according to Thy law.

According to Thine ordinances They have stood this day, for the whole are Thy servants.

To the age I forget not Thy precepts, For by them Thou hast quickened me.

I am Thine, save Thou me, For Thy precepts I have sought.

Thy wicked waited for me to destroy me, Thy testimonies I understand.

Than mine enemies Thy command maketh me wiser, For it is before me to the age.

Above all my teachers I have acted wisely. For Thy testimonies are my meditation.

Above elders I understand more, For Thy precepts I have kept.

From Thy judgments I turned not aside, For Thou -- Thou hast directed me.
