As distant as the east is from the west, that is how far he has removed our sins from us.

Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.

For He knows what we are made of,
remembering that we are dust.

that a man in his time is but as grass, and flourisheth as a flower of the field.

But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting 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 commandments to do them.

Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.

Praise the Lord, all that he has made, in all the regions of his kingdom! Praise the Lord, O my soul!

Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.

Thou coveredst it with the deep like as with a garment, so that the waters stand above the hills.

They ascended [the] mountains [and] drained though the valleys to [the] place that you established for them.

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

He causes springs to gush forth into rivers that flow between the mountains.

that all the beasts of the field may have drink, and that the wild asses may quench their thirst.

He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;

wine that makes man’s heart glad—
making his face shine with oil—
and bread that sustains man’s heart.

The trees of the Lord flourish,
the cedars of Lebanon that He planted.

Thou makest darkness, that it may be night, wherein all the beasts of the forest do move.

There is the great, wide sea, where there are living things, great and small, more than may be numbered.

There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.

These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season.

That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.

O that my words might please him, for my joy is in the LORD.

Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.

Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;

He remembers his covenant forever, [the] word [that] he commanded for a thousand generations,

That He hath made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac,

saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan [as] the allotment [that is] your inheritance."

And he took away all food from the land, so that the people were without bread.

Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.

To give his chiefs teaching at his pleasure, and so that his law-givers might get wisdom from him.

The Lord made His people very fruitful;
He made them more numerous than their foes,

Their hearts were turned to hate against his people, so that they made secret designs against them.

He turned their water into blood, so that the fish died.

He smote their vineyards and fig trees, and destroyed the trees that were in their coasts.

He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number,

Thus brought he them forth, with silver and gold, Nor was there, throughout his tribes, one that faltered;

He opened the rock of stone, and the waters flowed out, so that rivers ran in the dry places.

He gave them also the lands of the nations,
That they might take possession of the fruit of the peoples’ labor,

All this happened
so that they might keep His statutes
and obey His instructions.
Hallelujah!

Who can put into words the mighty deeds of the Lord?
Or who can proclaim all His praise [that is due Him]?

Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times.

Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation;

so that I may enjoy the prosperity
of Your chosen ones,
rejoice in the joy of Your nation,
and boast about Your heritage.

Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.

And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

As for those that troubled them, the waters overwhelmed them; there was not one of them left.

A lust came upon them in the wilderness, so that they tempted God in the desert.

Then a fire burned among their company, a flame that set the wicked ablaze.

Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.

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

Yea, they thought scorn of that pleasant land, and gave no credence unto his word,

So He raised His hand against them with an oath
that He would make them fall in the desert

And that he would make their seed fall among the nations, and disperse them through the countries.

They had provoked anger by their deeds, so that a plague broke out against them.

But Phinehas intervened and prayed so that the plague was restrained.

And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore.

They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:

Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.

insomuch that they worshipped their idols, which turned to their own decay.

and shed the innocent blood of their sons and of their daughters; whom they offered unto the idols of Canaan, so that the land was defiled with blood.

Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.

And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them.

Their enemies oppressed them, so that they were humiliated by their power.

He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives.

Save us, Yahweh our God,
and gather us from the nations,
so that we may give thanks to Your holy name
and rejoice in Your praise.

Let the redeemed of the Lord proclaim
that He has redeemed them from the hand of the foe

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

Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

He gives its desire to the unresting soul, so that it is full of good things.

So that he made their hearts weighted down with grief; they were falling, and had no helper.

He brought them out of darkness and the deep (deathly) darkness
And broke their bonds apart.

Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

- That they would offer unto him the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and tell out his works with gladness!

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

He spoke and raised a tempest
that stirred up the waves of the sea.

He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.

So they rejoiced that the waves became quiet, and he led them to their desired haven.

Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

- That they would exalt him in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the seat of the elders,

A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;

They sow fields and plant vineyards
that yield a fruitful harvest.

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

Let whoever is wise observe these things, that they may comprehend the gracious love of the LORD. A song. A Davidic psalm.

For Your faithful love is higher than the heavens,
and Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

Save with Your right hand and answer me
so that those You love may be rescued.

Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.

For the love that I had unto them, they take now my contrary part; but I give myself unto prayer.

Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.

Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.

Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.

Let it be to him as the clothing with which he covers himself, for the belt that is always around him.

Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul.

I go hence like the shadow that departeth, and am driven away as the grasshopper.

so they may know that this is Your hand
and that You, Lord, have done it.

Let them curse, but you bless. [When] they arise, let them be put to shame, that your servant may be glad.

For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.
