I am the Lord your God, who took you up from the land of Egypt: let your mouth be open wide, so that I may give you food.

So I allowed them to continue in their stubbornness, living by their own advice.

As a little thing their enemies I cause to bow, And against their adversaries I turn back My hand,

Those who hate Yahweh would cringe before him, and their fate would be forever.

But he would have also fed them with the finest of the wheat. I will satisfy you with honey out of the rock." A Psalm by Asaph.

"How long will you judge partially by showing favor on the wicked? Interlude

Defend the poor and fatherless, see that such as be in need and necessity have right.

They will not be learned nor understand, but walk on still in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

Arise, God, judge the earth, for you inherit all of the nations. A song. A Psalm by Asaph.

{A Song or Psalm of Asaph.} Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.

For behold, thine enemies will be clamorous; and they hating thee lifted up the head.

They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

Make them like Midian, like Sisera, like Jabin, by the torrent of Kishon;

O my God, make them like dead thistles, like dead weeds blown away by the wind!

Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:

And they know that Thou -- (Thy name is Jehovah -- by Thyself,) Art the Most High over all the earth!

To the Overseer. -- 'On the Gittith By sons of Korah.' -- A Psalm. How beloved Thy tabernacles, Jehovah of Hosts!

I desperately want to be in the courts of the Lord's temple. My heart and my entire being shout for joy to the living God.

Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.

Blessed and greatly favored is the man whose strength is in You,
In whose heart are the highways to Zion.

Going through the valley of balsam-trees, they make it a place of springs; it is clothed with blessings by the early rain.

O God, let your eyes be on him who is our safe cover, and let your heart be turned to your king.

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.

O Lord of hosts,
How blessed and greatly favored is the man who trusts in You [believing in You, relying on You, and committing himself to You with confident hope and expectation].

To the Overseer. -- By sons of Korah. A Psalm. Thou hast accepted, O Jehovah, Thy land, Thou hast turned to the captivity of Jacob.

Come back to us, O God of our salvation, and be angry with us no longer.

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

Will you not give us life again, so that your people may be glad in you?

Surely His salvation is near to those who [reverently] fear Him [and obey Him with submissive wonder],
That glory [the manifest presence of God] may dwell in our land.

Righteousness goes before him, And prepares the way for his steps. A Prayer by David.

{A Prayer of David.} Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.

Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.

O Lord, hear my prayer! Pay attention to my plea for mercy!

All nations that Thou hast made Come and bow themselves before Thee, O Lord, And give honour to Thy name.

Teach me Your way, Yahweh,
and I will live by Your truth.
Give me an undivided mind to fear Your name.

Turn toward me, and be gracious unto me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.

Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.

By sons of Korah. -- A Psalm, a song. His foundation is in holy mountains.

Glorious things, are to be spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.

Rahab and Babylon will be named among those who have knowledge of me; see, Philistia and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man had his birth there.

And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.

The LORD shall cause it to be preached and written among the people, that he was born there. Selah.

As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.

{A Song, a Psalm for the sons of Korah. To the chief Musician. Upon Mahalath Leannoth. An instruction. Of Heman the Ezrahite.} Jehovah, God of my salvation, I have cried by day and in the night before thee.

Listen to my prayer! Pay attention to my cry for help!

Among the dead -- free, As pierced ones lying in the grave, Whom Thou hast not remembered any more, Yea, they by Thy hand have been cut off.

Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me, and made me to be abhorred of them. I am so fast in prison that I cannot get forth.

Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.

Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction?

Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

O Lord, why do you reject me, and pay no attention to me?

Afflicted have I been, and dying, from youth, I have borne the terror of thee - I shall be distracted!

The heat of your wrath has gone over me; I am broken by your cruel punishments.

You have put lover and friend far from me, and my friends into darkness. A contemplation by Ethan, the Ezrahite.

An instruction, by Ethan the Ezrahite. Of the kind acts of Jehovah, to the age I sing, To all generations I make known Thy faithfulness with my mouth,

For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.

I will make your seed go on for ever, your kingdom will be strong through all generations. (Selah.)

For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD?

God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.

Thou, rulest over the swelling of the sea, When the rolling waves thereof lift themselves, Thou, dost bid them be still:

Rahab was crushed by you like one wounded to death; with your strong arm you put to flight all your haters.

Blessed and happy are the people who know the joyful sound [of the trumpet’s blast]!
They walk, O Lord, in the light and favor of Your countenance!

In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.

For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted.

Once You spoke in a vision to Your godly ones,
And said, “I have given help to one who is mighty [giving him the power to be a champion for Israel];
I have exalted one chosen from the people.

With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him.

The deceit of those who are against him will not overcome him; he will not be troubled by the sons of evil.

I will have those who are against him broken before his face, and his haters will be crushed under my blows.

But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.

I will appoint him to be my firstborn son, the most exalted of the earth's kings.

“My lovingkindness I will keep for him forevermore,
And My covenant will be confirmed to him.

His seed will keep their place for ever; his kingdom will be eternal, like the heavens.

If his sons forsake My instruction
and do not live by My ordinances,

Then I will send punishment on them for their sin; my rod will be the reward of their evil-doing.

“Nevertheless, I will not break off My lovingkindness from him,
Nor allow My faithfulness to fail.

I will be true to my agreement; the things which have gone out of my lips will not be changed.

Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.

His seed will not come to an end for ever; the seat of his kingdom will be like the sun before me.

It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.

Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.

All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours.

You have allowed his adversaries to be victorious, and all his enemies to rejoice.

You have caused the days of his youth to be cut short; you have covered him with shame Interlude

How long, O Lord, will you Keep yourself for ever from our eyes? how long will your wrath be burning like fire?

Remember, as regards me, what life is. Wherefore hast thou created all the children of men to be vanity?

What man now living will not see death? will he be able to keep back his soul from the underworld? (Selah.)

Where [are] your former acts of loyal love, O Lord, [that] you swore to David by your faithfulness?

[by] which your enemies taunt, O Yahweh, [by] which they taunt the steps of your anointed one.

Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.

Before the mountains were born, and the earth shall be begun, and the habitable globe, and from forever even to forever, thou art God.

You return people to dust merely by saying, "Return, you mortals!"

For a thousand years in Thine eyes are as yesterday, For it passeth on, yea, a watch by night.

You will sweep them away while they are asleep by morning they are like growing grass.

In the morning it blossoms and sprouts anew; by evening it withers and dries up.

For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.

The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

Turn, O Lord [from Your fierce anger]; how long will it be?
Be compassionate toward Your servants—revoke Your sentence.

O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

Let Your work [the signs of Your power] be revealed to Your servants
And Your [glorious] majesty to their children.

And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
