To him that rideth upon the heaven of heavens, which are of old; Lo, he uttereth his voice, a mighty voice.

They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head: They that would cut me off, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: That which I took not away I have to restore.

Let not them that wait for thee be put to shame through me, O Lord Jehovah of hosts: Let not those that seek thee be brought to dishonor through me, O God of Israel.

When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, That was to my reproach.

Answer me, O Jehovah; for thy lovingkindness is good: According to the multitude of thy tender mercies turn thou unto me.

Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: And I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; And for comforters, but I found none.

They gave me also gall for my food; And in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

Let their eyes be darkened, so that they cannot see; And make their loins continually to shake.

Make haste , O God, to deliver me; Make haste to help me, O Jehovah.

Let them be put to shame and confounded That seek after my soul: Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor That delight in my hurt.

In thee, O Jehovah, do I take refuge: Let me never be put to shame.

Be thou to me a rock of habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: Thou hast given commandment to save me; For thou art my rock and my fortress.

My mouth shall be filled with thy praise, And with thy honor all the day.

Saying, God hath forsaken him: Pursue and take him; for there is none to deliver.

O God, be not far from me; O my God, make haste to help me.

Let them be put to shame and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor that seek my hurt.

My mouth shall tell of thy righteousness, And of thy salvation all the day; For I know not the numbers thereof .

Yea, even when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not, Until I have declared thy strength unto the next generation, Thy might to every one that is to come.

My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long; For they are put to shame, for they are confounded, that seek my hurt.

The mountains shall bring peace to the people, And the hills, in righteousness.

He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, And from the River unto the ends of the earth.

And they shall live; and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: And men shall pray for him continually; They shall bless him all the day long.

Surely God is good to Israel, Even to such as are pure in heart.

For all the day long have I been plagued, And chastened every morning.

When I thought how I might know this, It was too painful for me;

Surely thou settest them in slippery places: Thou castest them down to destruction.

Thou wilt guide me with thy counsel, And afterward receive me to glory.

But it is good for me to draw near unto God: I have made the Lord Jehovah my refuge, That I may tell of all thy works.

Remember thy congregation, which thou hast gotten of old, Which thou hast redeemed to be the tribe of thine inheritance; And mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.

They have set thy sanctuary on fire; They have profaned the dwelling-place of thy name by casting it to the ground.

Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces; Thou gavest him to be food to the people inhabiting the wilderness.

The day is thine, the night also is thine: Thou hast prepared the light and the sun.

Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: Remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee all the day.

I said unto the arrogant, Deal not arrogantly; And to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

But I will declare for ever, I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

Thou, even thou, art to be feared; And who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?

Thou didst cause sentence to be heard from heaven; The earth feared, and was still,

When God arose to judgment, To save all the meek of the earth. Selah

Vow, and pay unto Jehovah your God: Let all that are round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.

He will cut off the spirit of princes: He is terrible to the kings of the earth.

In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: My hand was stretched out in the night, and slacked not; My soul refused to be comforted.

I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart; And my spirit maketh diligent search.

Hath God forgotten to be gracious? Hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah

Give ear, O my people, to my law: Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

We will not hide them from their children, Telling to the generation to come the praises of Jehovah, And his strength, and his wondrous works that he hath done.

For he established a testimony in Jacob, And appointed a law in Israel, Which he commanded our fathers, That they should make them known to their children;

That the generation to come might know them , even the children that should be born; Who should arise and tell them to their children,

The children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, Turned back in the day of battle.

They kept not the covenant of God, And refused to walk in his law;

He clave the sea, and caused them to pass through; And he made the waters to stand as a heap.

In the day-time also he led them with a cloud, And all the night with a light of fire.

He brought streams also out of the rock, And caused waters to run down like rivers.

Yet went they on still to sin against him, To rebel against the Most High in the desert.

And they tempted God in their heart By asking food according to their desire.

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

Man did eat the bread of the mighty: He sent them food to the full.

He caused the east wind to blow in the heavens; And by his power he guided the south wind.

They remember not his hand, Nor the day when he redeemed them from the adversary;

He gave over their cattle also to the hail, And their flocks to hot thunderbolts.

He made a path for his anger; He spared not their soul from death, But gave their life over to the pestilence,

And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, To this mountain, which his right hand had gotten.

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

For they provoked him to anger with their high places, And moved him to jealousy with their graven images.

And he smote his adversaries backward: He put them to a perpetual reproach.

From following the ewes that have their young he brought him, To be the shepherd of Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.

So he was their shepherd according to the integrity of his heart, And guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.

The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be food unto the birds of the heavens, The flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.

Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; And there was none to bury them.

We are become a reproach to our neighbors, A scoffing and derision to them that are round about us.

Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee: According to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to death;

So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture Will give thee thanks for ever: We will show forth thy praise to all generations.

Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up thy might, And come to save us.

Turn us again, O God; And cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.

Thou hast fed them with the bread of tears, And given them tears to drink in large measure.

Turn us again, O God of hosts; And cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.

Why hast thou broken down its walls, So that all they that pass by the way do pluck it?

Turn us again, O Jehovah God of hosts; Cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.

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

But my people hearkened not to my voice; And Israel would none of me.

Judge the poor and fatherless: Do justice to the afflicted and destitute.

They know not, neither do they understand; They walk to and fro in darkness: All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

Nevertheless ye shall die like men, And fall like one of the princes.

For they have consulted together with one consent; Against thee do they make a covenant:

Do thou unto them as unto Midian, As to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon;

Who said, Let us take to ourselves in possession The habitations of God.

Let them be put to shame and dismayed for ever; Yea, let them be confounded and perish;

Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; In whose heart are the highways to Zion .

They go from strength to strength; Every one of them appeareth before God in Zion.

For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, Than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

Turn us, O God of our salvation, And cause thine indignation toward us to cease.

Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? Wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?

I will hear what God Jehovah will speak; For he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: But let them not turn again to folly.

Righteousness shall go before him, And shall make his footsteps a way to walk in .

Be merciful unto me, O Lord; For unto thee do I cry all the day long.

Rejoice the soul of thy servant; For unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive, And abundant in lovingkindness unto all them that call upon thee.

In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee; For thou wilt answer me.

Teach me thy way, O Jehovah; I will walk in thy truth: Unite my heart to fear thy name.

But thou, O Lord, art a God merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness and truth.

Show me a token for good, That they who hate me may see it, and be put to shame, Because thou, Jehovah, hast helped me, and comforted me.
