They make a calf in Horeb, And bow themselves to a molten image,

And He saith to destroy them, Unless Moses, His chosen one, Had stood in the breach before Him, To turn back His wrath from destroying.

And they kick against the desirable land, They have not given credence to His word.

And they murmur in their tents, They have not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah.

And He lifteth up His hand to them, To cause them to fall in a wilderness,

And to cause their seed to fall among nations, And to scatter them through lands.

And they are coupled to Baal-Peor, And eat the sacrifices of the dead,

And they provoke to anger by their actions, And a plague breaketh forth upon them,

And it is reckoned to him to righteousness, To all generations -- unto the age.

And they cause wrath by the waters of Meribah, And it is evil to Moses for their sakes,

They have not destroyed the peoples, As Jehovah had said to them,

And serve their idols, And they are to them for a snare.

And they sacrifice their sons And their daughters to destroyers,

And they shed innocent blood -- Blood of their sons and of their daughters, Whom they have sacrificed to idols of Canaan, And the land is profaned with blood.

And remembereth for them His covenant, And is comforted, According to the abundance of His kindness.

Save us, O Jehovah our God, and gather us from the nations, To give thanks to Thy holy name, To glory in Thy praise.

Give ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age is His kindness:'

And causeth them to tread in a right way, To go unto a city of habitation.

They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men.

They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men.

They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men,

Those going down to the sea in ships, Doing business in many waters,

They go up to the heavens, they go down to the depths, Their soul in evil is melted.

They reel to and fro, and move as a drunkard, And all their wisdom is swallowed up.

And they cry to Jehovah in their adversity, And from their distresses He bringeth them out.

He establisheth a whirlwind to a calm, And hushed are their billows.

And they rejoice because they are quiet, And He leadeth them to the haven of their desire.

They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men,

And He causeth the hungry to dwell there, And they prepare a city of habitation.

He is pouring contempt upon nobles, And causeth them to wander in vacancy -- no way.

The upright do see and rejoice, And all perversity hath shut her mouth.

Who doth bring me in to the fenced city? Who hath led me unto Edom?

Give to us help from adversity, And vain is the salvation of man.

In God we do mightily, And He doth tread down our adversaries!

To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. O God of my praise, be not silent,

And wander continually do his sons, Yea, they have begged, And have sought out of their dry places.

He hath none to extend kindness, Nor is there one showing favour to his orphans.

Because that he hath not remembered to do kindness, And pursueth the poor man and needy, And the smitten of heart -- to slay,

It is to him as apparel -- he covereth himself, And for a continual girdle he girdeth it on.

And I -- I have been a reproach to them, They see me, they shake their head.

Help me, O Jehovah my God, Save me, according to Thy kindness.

For He standeth at the right hand of the needy, To save from those judging his soul.

A Psalm of David. The affirmation of Jehovah to my Lord: 'Sit at My right hand, Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.'

Thy people are free-will gifts in the day of Thy strength, in the honours of holiness, From the womb, from the morning, Thou hast the dew of thy youth.

Jehovah hath sworn, and doth not repent, 'Thou art a priest to the age, According to the order of Melchizedek.'

The Lord on thy right hand smote kings In the day of His anger.

Prey He hath given to those fearing Him, He remembereth to the age His covenant.

The power of His works He hath declared to His people, To give to them the inheritance of nations.

They are sustained for ever to the age. They are made in truth and uprightness.

Redemption He hath sent to His people, He hath appointed to the age His covenant, Holy and fearful is His name.

Light hath risen in darkness to the upright, Gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

For -- to the age he is not moved; For a memorial age-during is the righteous.

He hath scattered -- hath given to the needy, His righteousness is standing for ever, His horn is exalted with honour.

Who is as Jehovah our God, He is exalting Himself to sit?

He is humbling Himself to look On the heavens and on the earth.

To cause to sit with princes, With the princes of His people.

Causing the barren one of the house to sit, A joyful mother of sons; praise ye Jah!

What -- to thee, O sea, that thou fleest? O Jordan, thou turnest back!

He is turning the rock to a pool of waters, The flint to a fountain of waters!

Not to us, O Jehovah, not to us, But to Thy name give honour, For Thy kindness, for Thy truth.

Why do the nations say, 'Where, pray, is their God.

Nor do they mutter through their throat, Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.

Jehovah addeth to you, to you, and to your sons.

The heavens -- the heavens are Jehovah's, And the earth He hath given to sons of men,

The dead praise not Jah, Nor any going down to silence.

Because He hath inclined His ear to me, And during my days I call.

A preserver of the simple is Jehovah, I was low, and to me He giveth salvation.

Turn back, O my soul, to thy rest, For Jehovah hath conferred benefits on thee.

What do I return to Jehovah? All His benefits are upon me.

My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people.

Cause it to come, O Jehovah, for I am Thy servant. I am Thy servant, son of Thy handmaid, Thou hast opened my bonds.

To Thee I sacrifice a sacrifice of thanks, And in the name of Jehovah I call.

My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people,

For mighty to us hath been His kindness, And the truth of Jehovah is to the age. Praise ye Jah!

Give ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age is His kindness.

I pray you, let Israel say, That, to the age is His kindness.

I pray you, let the house of Aaron say, That, to the age is His kindness.

I pray you, let those fearing Jehovah say, That, to the age is His kindness.

Jehovah is for me, I do not fear what man doth to me.

Better to take refuge in Jehovah than to trust in man,

Better to take refuge in Jehovah, Than to trust in princes.

Thou hast sorely thrust me to fall, And Jehovah hath helped me.

My strength and song is Jah, And He is to me for salvation.

I do not die, but live, And recount the works of Jah,

Jah hath sorely chastened me, And to death hath not given me up.

Open ye to me gates of righteousness, I enter into them -- I thank Jah.

This is the gate to Jehovah, The righteous enter into it.

I thank Thee, for Thou hast answered me, And art to me for salvation.

This is the day Jehovah hath made, We rejoice and are glad in it.

God is Jehovah, and He giveth to us light, Direct ye the festal-sacrifice with cords, Unto the horns of the altar.

Give ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age, is His kindness!

Thou hast commanded us Thy precepts to keep diligently,

O that my ways were prepared to keep Thy statutes,

Beth. With what doth a young man purify his path? To observe -- according to Thy word.

In Thy statutes I delight myself, I do not forget Thy word.

Daleth. Cleaved to the dust hath my soul, Quicken me according to Thy word.

The way of Thy precepts cause me to understand, And I meditate in Thy wonders.

My soul hath dropped from affliction, Establish me according to Thy word.

I have adhered to Thy testimonies, O Jehovah, put me not to shame.

He. Show me, O Jehovah, the way of Thy statutes, And I keep it -- to the end.
