The descendants of His servants will inherit it,
And those who love His name will dwell in it.

Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked,
Out of the grasp of the wrongdoer and ruthless man,

But as for me, I will hope continually,
And will praise You yet more and more.

Behold, these are the wicked;
And always at ease, they have increased in wealth.

When I pondered to understand this,
It was troublesome in my sight

It seems as if one had lifted up
His axe in a forest of trees.

Yet God is my king from of old,
Who works deeds of deliverance in the midst of the earth.

“When I select an appointed time,
It is I who judge with equity.

“The earth and all who dwell in it melt;
It is I who have firmly set its pillars. Selah.

For a cup is in the hand of the Lord, and the wine foams;
It is well mixed, and He pours out of this;
Surely all the wicked of the earth must drain and drink down its dregs.

But as for me, I will declare it forever;
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob,
Both rider and horse were cast into a dead sleep.

In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord;
In the night my hand was stretched out without weariness;
My soul refused to be comforted.

Then I said, “It is my grief,
That the right hand of the Most High has changed.”

Your way, O God, is holy;
What god is great like our God?

The clouds poured out water;
The skies gave forth a sound;
Your arrows flashed here and there.

That the generation to come might know, even the children yet to be born,
That they may arise and tell them to their children,

The sons of Ephraim were archers equipped with bows,
Yet they turned back in the day of battle.

Yet they still continued to sin against Him,
To rebel against the Most High in the desert.

“Behold, He struck the rock so that waters gushed out,
And streams were overflowing;
Can He give bread also?
Will He provide meat for His people?”

Yet He commanded the clouds above
And opened the doors of heaven;

He rained down manna upon them to eat
And gave them food from heaven.

Man did eat the bread of angels;
He sent them food in abundance.

So they ate and were well filled,
And their desire He gave to them.

He also drove out the nations before them
And apportioned them for an inheritance by measurement,
And made the tribes of Israel dwell in their tents.

Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God
And did not keep His testimonies,

So that He abandoned the dwelling place at Shiloh,
The tent which He had pitched among men,

He also delivered His people to the sword,
And was filled with wrath at His inheritance.

They have poured out their blood like water round about Jerusalem;
And there was no one to bury them.

Pour out Your wrath upon the nations which do not know You,
And upon the kingdoms which do not call upon Your name.

You removed a vine from Egypt;
You drove out the nations and planted it.

You cleared the ground before it,
And it took deep root and filled the land.

It was sending out its branches to the sea
And its shoots to the River.

A boar from the forest eats it away
And whatever moves in the field feeds on it.

It is burned with fire, it is cut down;
They perish at the rebuke of Your countenance.

Blow the trumpet at the new moon,
At the full moon, on our feast day.

For it is a statute for Israel,
An ordinance of the God of Jacob.

He established it for a testimony in Joseph
When he went throughout the land of Egypt.
I heard a language that I did not know:

“You called in trouble and I rescued you;
I answered you in the hiding place of thunder;
I proved you at the waters of Meribah. Selah.

“I, the Lord, am your God,
Who brought you up from the land of Egypt;
Open your mouth wide and I will fill it.

“But I would feed you with the finest of the wheat,
And with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”

Rescue the weak and needy;
Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.

Arise, O God, judge the earth!
For it is You who possesses all the nations.

They have said, “Come, and let us wipe them out as a nation,
That the name of Israel be remembered no more.”

Deal with them as with Midian,
As with Sisera and Jabin at the torrent of Kishon,

Who were destroyed at En-dor,
Who became as dung for the ground.

Passing through the valley of Baca they make it a spring;
The early rain also covers it with blessings.

For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand outside.
I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God
Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.

I will hear what God the Lord will say;
For He will speak peace to His people, to His godly ones;
But let them not turn back to folly.

Indeed, the Lord will give what is good,
And our land will yield its produce.

Show me a sign for good,
That those who hate me may see it and be ashamed,
Because You, O Lord, have helped me and comforted me.

But of Zion it shall be said, “This one and that one were born in her”;
And the Most High Himself will establish her.

A Song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. For the choir director; according to Mahalath Leannoth. A Maskil of Heman the Ezrahite.
O Lord, the God of my salvation,
I have cried out by day and in the night before You.

You have removed my acquaintances far from me;
You have made me an object of loathing to them;
I am shut up and cannot go out.

My eye has wasted away because of affliction;
I have called upon You every day, O Lord;
I have spread out my hands to You.

But I, O Lord, have cried out to You for help,
And in the morning my prayer comes before You.

The heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours;
The world and all it contains, You have founded them.

The north and the south, You have created them;
Tabor and Hermon shout for joy at Your name.

“It shall be established forever like the moon,
And the witness in the sky is faithful.” Selah.

Remember what my span of life is;
For what vanity You have created all the sons of men!

What man can live and not see death?
Can he deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah.

For a thousand years in Your sight
Are like yesterday when it passes by,
Or as a watch in the night.

In the morning it flourishes and sprouts anew;
Toward evening it fades and withers away.

As for the days of our life, they contain seventy years,
Or if due to strength, eighty years,
Yet their pride is but labor and sorrow;
For soon it is gone and we fly away.

Do return, O Lord; how long will it be?
And be sorry for Your servants.

For it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper
And from the deadly pestilence.

Of the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
Or of the destruction that lays waste at noon.

A thousand may fall at your side
And ten thousand at your right hand,
But it shall not approach you.

A Psalm, a Song for the Sabbath day.
It is good to give thanks to the Lord
And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High;

For You, O Lord, have made me glad by what You have done,
I will sing for joy at the works of Your hands.

That when the wicked sprouted up like grass
And all who did iniquity flourished,
It was only that they might be destroyed forevermore.

The Lord reigns, He is clothed with majesty;
The Lord has clothed and girded Himself with strength;
Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved.

They slay the widow and the stranger
And murder the orphans.

Blessed is the man whom You chasten, O Lord,
And whom You teach out of Your law;

For judgment will again be righteous,
And all the upright in heart will follow it.

The sea is His, for it was He who made it,
And His hands formed the dry land.

Do not harden your hearts, as at Meribah,
As in the day of Massah in the wilderness,

Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns;
Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved;
He will judge the peoples with equity.”

Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;
Let the sea roar, and all it contains;

Let the field exult, and all that is in it.
Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy

The mountains melted like wax at the presence of the Lord,
At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

Let the sea roar and all it contains,
The world and those who dwell in it.

Exalt the Lord our God
And worship at His footstool;
Holy is He.

O Lord our God, You answered them;
You were a forgiving God to them,
And yet an avenger of their evil deeds.

Exalt the Lord our God
And worship at His holy hill,
For holy is the Lord our God.

Know that the Lord Himself is God;
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

I will set no worthless thing before my eyes;
I hate the work of those who fall away;
It shall not fasten its grip on me.

My heart has been smitten like grass and has withered away,
Indeed, I forget to eat my bread.

You will arise and have compassion on Zion;
For it is time to be gracious to her,
For the appointed time has come.

This will be written for the generation to come,
That a people yet to be created may praise the Lord.

“Even they will perish, but You endure;
And all of them will wear out like a garment;
Like clothing You will change them and they will be changed.

When the wind has passed over it, it is no more,
And its place acknowledges it no longer.

Covering Yourself with light as with a cloak,
Stretching out heaven like a tent curtain.

He established the earth upon its foundations,
So that it will not totter forever and ever.

You covered it with the deep as with a garment;
The waters were standing above the mountains.

At Your rebuke they fled,
At the sound of Your thunder they hurried away.

You appoint darkness and it becomes night,
In which all the beasts of the forest prowl about.

There the ships move along,
And Leviathan, which You have formed to sport in it.

They all wait for You
To give them their food in due season.

You give to them, they gather it up;
You open Your hand, they are satisfied with good.
