For He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His hand. Today if you will hear His voice,

harden not your heart, as in the day of strife, as in the day of testing in the wilderness;

when your fathers tempted Me, tested Me, and saw My work.

For all the gods of the nations are idols; but Jehovah made the heavens.

Honor and majesty are before Him; strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.

Clouds and darkness are all around Him; righteousness and judgment are the foundation of His throne.

All those who serve graven images are ashamed, those who boast themselves in idols; all gods bow down before Him.

Zion heard and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of Your judgments, O Jehovah.

For You, Jehovah, are high above all the earth; You are lifted on high far above all gods.

Let them praise Your great and fearful name; it is holy.

Praise Jehovah our God, and worship at His footstool; He is holy.

Moses and Aaron were among His priests, and Samuel among those who called on His name; they called on Jehovah, and He answered them.

You answered them, O Jehovah our God; You were a God who forgave them, though You take vengeance for their deeds.

Praise Jehovah our God, and worship at His holy hill; for Jehovah our God is holy.

Know that Jehovah, He is God. He has made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture.

Hide not Your face from me in the day when I am in trouble; bow down Your ear to me; in the day I call, answer me quickly.

My enemies curse me all the day; and they who are mad against me are sworn against me.

because of Your anger and Your wrath; for You have lifted me up and cast me down.

My days are like a shadow stretched out; and I wither like grass.

But You, O Jehovah, shall endure forever; and Your memory to all generations.

For Your servants take pleasure in its stones, and pity its dust.

So the nations shall fear the name of Jehovah, and all the kings of the earth Your glory.

I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days; Your years are through the generation of generations.

Of old You have laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the work of Your hands.

but You are He, and Your years shall have no end.

The sons of Your servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before You.

who forgives all your iniquities; who heals all your diseases;

who redeems your life from ruin; who crowns you with loving-kindness and tender mercies;

who satisfies your mouth with good; your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

Jehovah works righteousness and judgment for all who are pressed down.

He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

For as the heavens are high above the earth, so is His mercy toward those who fear Him.

As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.

For He knows our form; He remembers that we are dust.

As for man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

Bless Jehovah, O my soul. O Jehovah my God, You are very great; You have put on honor and majesty,

At Your rebuke they flee; at the voice of Your thunder they hurry away.

He waters the hills from His upper rooms; the earth is satisfied with the fruit of Your works.

The trees of Jehovah are full, the cedars of Lebanon which He has planted;

where the birds make their nests; the fir trees are the house of the stork.

The high hills are for the wild goats, and the rocks are a refuge for the badgers.

The sun rises; they are gathered, and go to their dens to lie down.

O Jehovah, how many are Your works! In wisdom You have made them all; the earth is full of Your riches.

This is the great and wide sea, in which are creeping things without number, both small and great animals.

You give to them, they gather; You open Your hand; they are filled with good.

You hide Your face, they are troubled; You take away their breath, they die and return to their dust.

You send forth Your Spirit, they are created; and You renew the face of the earth.

He is Jehovah our God; His judgments are in all the earth.

saying, To you I will give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;

when they were a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.

Who can utter the mighty acts of Jehovah, or cause all His praise to be heard?

Blessed are those who keep judgment, he who does righteousness at all times.

Remember me, O Jehovah, with the favor of Your people; O visit me with Your salvation,

that I may see the good of Your chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of Your nation, to glory with Your inheritance.

We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.

Our fathers did not understand Your wonders in Egypt; they did not remember the multitude of Your mercies, but rebelled at the sea, even at the Red Sea.

And they were jealous of Moses in the camp, and Aaron the saint of Jehovah.

but were mixed among the nations, and learned their works.

And they served their idols, which were a snare to them.

And they were defiled with their works, and went lusting in their doings.

And their enemies oppressed them, and they were humbled under their hand.

Save us, O Jehovah our God, and gather us from among the nations, to give thanks to Your holy name and to triumph in Your praise.

Fools are afflicted because of their rebellion, and because of their iniquities.

He makes the storm a calm, so that its waves are still.

And they are glad because they are quiet; so He brings them to their desired haven.

He also blesses them, so that they are multiplied greatly; and does not allow their cattle to become few.

He pours scorn on nobles, and causes them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no path.

For Your mercy is great above the heavens; and Your truth reaches to the clouds.

Be lifted up, O God, above the heavens; and Your glory above all the earth;

so that Your beloved may be delivered; save with Your right hand, and answer me.

O God, have You not cast us off? And, O God, will You not go out with our armies?

Through God we shall do mighty things; for He shall trample our enemies.

for the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me; they spoke against me with a lying tongue.

For my love they are my foes; but I am in prayer.

But You, Lord Jehovah, deal kindly with me for Your name's sake; because Your mercy is good, deliver me.

Help me, O Jehovah my God; save me according to Your mercy;

and they will know that this is Your hand; that You, Jehovah, have done it.

They will curse, but You will bless; they arise, and are ashamed; but let Your servant rejoice.

A Psalm of David. Jehovah said to my Lord, Sit at My right hand until I place Your enemies as Your footstool.

Jehovah shall send the rod of Your strength out of Zion; rule in the midst of Your enemies.

Your people shall be willing in the day of Your power, in holy adornment from the womb of the morning: You have the dew of Your youth.

Jehovah has sworn, and will not repent, You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

The Lord at Your right hand shall strike through kings in the day of His wrath.

The works of Jehovah are great, sought out by all those who have pleasure in them.

The works of His hands are truth and judgment; all His commands are true,

standing fast forever and ever; they are done in truth and uprightness.

Who is like Jehovah our God, who dwells on high,

Not to us, O Jehovah, not to us, but to Your name give glory, for Your mercy and for Your truth's sake.

Why should the nations say, Where now is their God?

But our God is in Heaven; He has done whatever He has pleased.

Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

The ones who make them are like them, and everyone who trusts in them.

Jehovah shall add on to you, even on you and on your sons.

You are blessed of Jehovah who made the heavens and the earth.

The heavens, even the heavens, are Jehovah's; but the earth He has given to the sons of men.

Because He has bowed down His ear to me, therefore I will call on Him in my days.

Gracious is Jehovah, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.

Return to your rest, O my soul; for Jehovah has dealt bountifully with you.

I said in my haste, All men are liars.

O Jehovah, truly I am Your servant; I am Your servant, and the son of Your handmaid; You have loosed my bonds.
