By reason of the voice of my groaning, my bones cleave to my flesh.

Mine enemies reproach me all the day; they that are mad against me swear by me.

But thou, Jehovah, abidest for ever, and thy memorial from generation to generation.

Thou wilt rise up, thou wilt have mercy upon Zion: for it is the time to be gracious to her, for the set time is come.

This shall be written for the generation to come; and a people that shall be created shall praise Jah:

To hear the groaning of the prisoner, to loose those that are appointed to die;

When the peoples shall be gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve Jehovah.

I said, My God, take me not away in the midst of my days! ... Thy years are from generation to generation.

Jehovah is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving-kindness.

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

But the loving-kindness of Jehovah is from everlasting and to everlasting, upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children,

To such as keep his covenant and to those that remember his precepts to do them.

Bless Jehovah, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his that do his will.

Thou hast set a bound which they may not pass over, that they turn not again to cover the earth.

They give drink to every beast of the field; the wild asses quench their thirst.

He maketh the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man; bringing forth bread out of the earth,

The young lions roar after the prey, and to seek their food from God.

Man goeth forth unto his work, and to his labour until the evening.

There go the ships; there that leviathan, which thou hast formed to play therein.

Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; thou takest away their breath, they expire and return to their dust.

I will sing unto Jehovah as long as I live; I will sing psalms to my God while I have my being.

He is ever mindful of his covenant, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations, --

And they went from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.

He suffered no man to oppress them, and reproved kings for their sakes,

Saying, Touch not mine anointed ones, and do my prophets no harm.

To bind his princes at his pleasure, and teach his elders wisdom.

He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.

He turned their waters into blood, and caused their fish to die.

He spread a cloud for a covering, and fire to give light in the night.

They made a calf in Horeb, and did homage to a molten image;

And he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses, his chosen, stood before him in the breach, to turn away his fury, lest he should destroy them.

And he lifted up his hand to them, that he would make them fall in the wilderness;

And they provoked him to anger with their doings; and a plague broke out among them.

And that was reckoned unto him for righteousness, from generation to generation, for evermore.

And they moved him to wrath at the waters of Meribah, and it went ill with Moses on their account;

And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his loving-kindnesses;

And he caused them to find compassion of all those that had carried them captives.

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

Blessed be Jehovah the God of Israel, from eternity and to eternity! And let all the people say, Amen! Hallelujah!

And he led them forth by a right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.

Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous works to the children of men;

And he bowed down their heart with labour; they stumbled, and there was none to help:

Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous works to the children of men;

Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous works to the children of men,

They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters,

They mount up to the heavens, they go down to the depths; their soul is melted because of trouble;

They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and they are at their wits' end:

Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous works to the children of men;

And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, and they establish a city of habitation;

And he blesseth them, so that they are multiplied greatly; and he suffereth not their cattle to decrease.

He poureth contempt upon nobles, and causeth them to wander in a pathless waste;

Through God we shall do valiantly; and he it is that will tread down our adversaries.

{To the chief Musician. Of David. A Psalm.} O God of my praise, be not silent:

Let there be none to extend kindness unto him, neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children;

Because he remembered not to shew kindness, but persecuted the afflicted and needy man, and the broken in heart, to slay him.

But do thou for me, Jehovah, Lord, for thy name's sake; because thy loving-kindness is good, deliver me:

Help me, Jehovah my God; save me according to thy loving-kindness:

For he standeth at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those that judge his soul.

Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in holy splendour: from the womb of the morning shall come to thee the dew of thy youth.

The Lord at thy right hand will smite through kings in the day of his anger.

He hath made his wonders to be remembered: Jehovah is gracious and merciful.

He hath shewn his people the power of his works, to give them the heritage of the nations.

The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do his precepts: his praise abideth for ever.

He scattereth abroad, he giveth to the needy; his righteousness abideth for ever: his horn shall be exalted with honour.

Who humbleth himself to look on the heavens and on the earth?

To set him among nobles, among the nobles of his people.

He maketh the barren woman to keep house, as a joyful mother of sons. Hallelujah!

The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah, but the earth hath he given to the children of men.

I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of Jehovah.

Jehovah is for me, I will not fear; what can man do unto me?

It is better to trust in Jehovah than to put confidence in man;

It is better to trust in Jehovah than to put confidence in nobles.

I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of Jah.

Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will enter into them; Jah will I praise.

This is the day that Jehovah hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Jehovah is God, and he hath given us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, up to the horns of the altar.

Who also do no unrighteousness: they walk in his ways.

Thou hast enjoined thy precepts, to be kept diligently.

Oh that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!

BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his path? by taking heed according to thy word.

DALETH. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken me according to thy word.

Make me to understand the way of thy precepts, and I will meditate upon thy wondrous works.

My soul melteth for sadness: strengthen me according to thy word.

Make me to walk in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight.

Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to gain.

Establish thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear.

VAU. And let thy loving-kindness come unto me, O Jehovah, thy salvation according to thy word.

So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me; for I confide in thy word.

ZAIN. Remember the word for thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.

CHETH. My portion, O Jehovah, I have said, is to keep thy words.

I have sought thy favour with my whole heart: be gracious unto me according to thy word.

I have made haste, and not delayed, to keep thy commandments.

At midnight I rise up to give thanks unto thee, because of thy righteous judgments.

TETH. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O Jehovah, according to thy word.

Oh let thy loving-kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant.

For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; I do not forget thy statutes.

The proud have digged pits for me, which is not according to thy law.

Quicken me according to thy loving-kindness, and I will keep the testimony of thy mouth.

Thy faithfulness is from generation to generation: thou hast established the earth, and it standeth.

By thine ordinances they stand this day; for all things are thy servants.
