All that He does is splendid and majestic;
His righteousness endures forever.

He has caused His wonderful works to be remembered.
The Lord is gracious and compassionate.

He has sent redemption to His people.
He has ordained His covenant forever.
His name is holy and awe-inspiring.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
all who follow His instructions have good insight.
His praise endures forever.

Hallelujah!
Happy is the man who fears the Lord,
taking great delight in His commands.

Light shines in the darkness for the upright.
He is gracious, compassionate, and righteous.

He will not fear bad news;
his heart is confident, trusting in the Lord.

His heart is assured; he will not fear.
In the end he will look in triumph on his foes.

Yahweh is exalted above all the nations,
His glory above the heavens.

Who is like Yahweh our God—
the One enthroned on high,

Not to us, Yahweh, not to us,
but to Your name give glory
because of Your faithful love, because of Your truth.

Why should the nations say,
“Where is their God?”

Our God is in heaven
and does whatever He pleases.

Those who make them are just like them,
as are all who trust in them.

Israel, trust in the Lord!
He is their help and shield.

House of Aaron, trust in the Lord!
He is their help and shield.

You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord!
He is their help and shield.

The Lord remembers us and will bless us.
He will bless the house of Israel;
He will bless the house of Aaron;

It is not the dead who praise the Lord,
nor any of those descending into the silence of death.

Because He has turned His ear to me,
I will call out to Him as long as I live.

The Lord is gracious and righteous;
our God is compassionate.

In my alarm I said,
“Everyone is a liar.”

The death of His faithful ones
is valuable in the Lord’s sight.

For His faithful love to us is great;
the Lord’s faithfulness endures forever.
Hallelujah!

Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;
His faithful love endures forever.

The Lord is for me; I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me?

The Lord is my helper,
Therefore, I will look in triumph on those who hate me.

It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in man.

It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in nobles.

The Lord is my strength and my song;
He has become my salvation.

The Lord’s right hand is raised.
The Lord’s right hand performs valiantly!”

This is the gate of the Lord;
the righteous will enter through it.

This came from the Lord;
it is wonderful in our eyes.

This is the day the Lord has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Lord, save us!
Lord, please grant us success!

He who comes in the name
of the Lord is blessed.
From the house of the Lord we bless you.

The Lord is God and has given us light.
Bind the festival sacrifice with cords
to the horns of the altar.

Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;
His faithful love endures forever.

א AlefHow happy are those whose way is blameless,
who live according to the Lord’s instruction!

I rejoice in the way revealed by Your decrees
as much as in all riches.

ד DaletMy life is down in the dust;
give me life through Your word.

Turn my eyes
from looking at what is worthless;
give me life in Your ways.

ו VavLet Your faithful love come to me, Lord,
Your salvation, as You promised.

This is my comfort in my affliction:
Your promise has given me life.

This is my practice:
I obey Your precepts.

ח KhetThe Lord is my portion;
I have promised to keep Your words.

Lord, the earth is filled with Your faithful love;
teach me Your statutes.

ט TetLord, You have treated Your servant well,
just as You promised.

You are good, and You do what is good;
teach me Your statutes.

Instruction from Your lips is better for me
than thousands of gold and silver pieces.

May Your faithful love comfort me
as You promised Your servant.

May Your compassion come to me
so that I may live,
for Your instruction is my delight.

ל LamedLord, Your word is forever;
it is firmly fixed in heaven.

Your faithfulness is for all generations;
You established the earth, and it stands firm.

I have seen a limit to all perfection,
but Your command is without limit.

מ MemHow I love Your instruction!
It is my meditation all day long.

Your commands make me wiser than my enemies,
for they are always with me.

How sweet Your word is to my taste—
sweeter than honey in my mouth.

נ NunYour word is a lamp for my feet
and a light on my path.

My life is constantly in danger,
yet I do not forget Your instruction.

I have Your decrees as a heritage forever;
indeed, they are the joy of my heart.

Sustain me as You promised, and I will live;
do not let me be ashamed of my hope.

You reject all who stray from Your statutes,
for their deceit is a lie.

You remove all the wicked on earth
as if they were dross;
therefore, I love Your decrees.

ע AyinI have done what is just and right;
do not leave me to my oppressors.

It is time for the Lord to act,
for they have violated Your instruction.

Turn to me and be gracious to me,
as is Your practice toward those who love Your name.

Your word is completely pure,
and Your servant loves it.

Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness,
and Your instruction is true.

Defend my cause and redeem me;
give me life as You promised.

Salvation is far from the wicked
because they do not seek Your statutes.

The entirety of Your word is truth,
and all Your righteous judgments endure forever.

I long for Your salvation, Lord,
and Your instruction is my delight.

The Lord protects you;
the Lord is a shelter right by your side.

A Davidic song of ascents.I rejoiced with those who said to me,
“Let us go to the house of the Lord.”

Jerusalem, built as a city should be,
solidly joined together,

where the tribes, Yahweh’s tribes, go up
to give thanks to the name of Yahweh.
(This is an ordinance for Israel.)

Like a servant’s eyes on his master’s hand,
like a servant girl’s eyes on her mistress’s hand,
so our eyes are on the Lord our God
until He shows us favor.

Show us favor, Lord, show us favor,
for we’ve had more than enough contempt.

If the Lord had not been on our side
when men attacked us,

then they would have swallowed us alive
in their burning anger against us.

Then the waters would have engulfed us;
the torrent would have swept over us;

the raging waters would have swept over us.

Praise the Lord,
who has not let us be ripped apart by their teeth.

We have escaped like a bird from the hunter’s net;
the net is torn, and we have escaped.

Our help is in the name of Yahweh,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

Do what is good, Lord, to the good,
to those whose hearts are upright.

But as for those who turn aside to crooked ways,
the Lord will banish them with the evildoers.

Peace be with Israel.

The Lord had done great things for us;
we were joyful.

Happy is the man who has filled his quiver with them.
Such men will never be put to shame
when they speak with their enemies at the city gate.

A song of ascents.How happy is everyone who fears the Lord,
who walks in His ways!

The Lord is righteous;
He has cut the ropes of the wicked.

But with You there is forgiveness,
so that You may be revered.

Israel, put your hope in the Lord.
For there is faithful love with the Lord,
and with Him is redemption in abundance.

A Davidic song of ascents.Lord, my heart is not proud;
my eyes are not haughty.
I do not get involved with things
too great or too difficult for me.

Let us go to His dwelling place;
let us worship at His footstool.

“This is My resting place forever;
I will make My home here
because I have desired it.

A Davidic song of ascents.How good and pleasant it is
when brothers live together in harmony!

It is like fine oil on the head,
running down on the beard,
running down Aaron’s beard
onto his robes.

It is like the dew of Hermon
falling on the mountains of Zion.
For there the Lord has appointed the blessing—
life forevermore.
