Now when I am old and grey-headed, O God, give me not up; till I have made clear your strength to this generation, and your power to all those to come.

Your righteousness, O God, is very high; you have done great things; O God, who is like you?

I will give praise to you with instruments of music, O my God, for you are true; I will make songs to you with music, O Holy One of Israel.

Give the king your authority, O God, and your righteousness to the king's son.

May he come down like rain on the cut grass; like showers watering the earth.

Praise be to the Lord God, the God of Israel, the only doer of wonders.

Truly, God is good to Israel, even to such as are clean in heart.

Till I went into God's holy place, and saw the end of the evil-doers.

My flesh and my heart are wasting away: but God is the Rock of my heart and my eternal heritage.

But it is good for me to come near to God: I have put my faith in the Lord God, so that I may make clear all his works.

Of God, why have you put us away from you for ever? why is the fire of your wrath smoking against the sheep who are your care?

They have said in their hearts, Let us put an end to them all together; they have given over to the fire all God's places of worship in the land.

O God, how long will those who are against us say cruel things? will the hater go on looking down on your name for ever?

For from the past God is my King, working salvation in the earth.

Up! O God, be the judge of your cause; keep in mind the bitter things which the man of evil behaviour says against you every day.

To you, O God, we give praise, to you we give praise: and those who give honour to your name make clear your works of power.

But God is the judge, putting down one, and lifting up another.

But I will ever be full of joy, making songs of praise to the God of Jacob.

By him will all the horns of the sinners be cut off; but the horns of the upright will be lifted up.

In Judah is the knowledge of God; his name is great in Israel,

At the voice of your wrath, O God of Jacob, deep sleep has overcome carriage and horse.

When God took his place as judge, for the salvation of the poor on the earth. (Selah.)

Give to the Lord your God what is his by right; let all who are round him give offerings to him who is to be feared.

I was crying to God with my voice; even to God with my voice, and he gave ear to me.

I will keep God in memory, with sounds of grief; my thoughts are troubled, and my spirit is overcome. (Selah.)

Has God put away the memory of his pity? are his mercies shut up by his wrath? (Selah.)

Your way, O God, is holy: what god is so great as our God?

You are the God who does works of power: you have made your strength clear to the nations.

The waters saw you, O God; the waters saw you, they were in fear: even the deep was troubled.

So that they might put their hope in God, and not let God's works go out of their minds, but keep his laws;

And not be like their fathers, a stiff-necked and uncontrolled generation; a generation whose heart was hard, whose spirit was not true to God.

They were not ruled by God's word, and they would not go in the way of his law;

The sea was cut in two so that they might go through; the waters were massed together on this side and on that.

Testing God in their hearts, requesting meat for their desire.

They said bitter words against God, saying, Is God able to make ready a table in the waste land?

See, the rock was cut open by his power, so that the water came rushing out, and overflowing streams; is he able to give us bread? is he able to get meat for his people?

Because they had no faith in God, and no hope in his salvation.

The wrath of God came on them, and put to death the fattest of them, and put an end to the young men of Israel.

In the memory that God was their Rock, and the Most High God their saviour.

Again they put God to the test, and gave pain to the Holy One of Israel.

So that their rivers were turned to blood, and they were not able to get drink from their streams.

But they were bitter against the Most High God, testing him, and not keeping his laws;

When this came to God's ears he was very angry, and gave up Israel completely;

O God, the nations have come into your heritage; they have made your holy Temple unclean; they have made Jerusalem a mass of broken walls.

Take us back again, O God; let us see the shining of your face, and let us be safe.

O Lord God of armies, how long will your wrath be burning against the rest of your people?

Take us back again, O God of armies; let us see the shining of your face, and let us be safe.

It is uprooted by the pigs from the woods, the beasts of the field get their food from it.

Come back, O God of armies: from heaven let your eyes be turned to this vine, and give your mind to it,

It is burned with fire; it is cut down: they are made waste by the wrath of your face.

Take us back, O Lord God of armies; let us see the shining of your face, and let us be safe.

Make a song to God our strength: make a glad cry to the God of Jacob.

For this is a rule for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.

There is to be no strange god among you; you are not to give worship to any other god.

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.

God is in the meeting-place of God; he is judging among the gods.

O God, do not keep quiet: let your lips be open and take no rest, O God.

The passion of my soul's desire is for the house of the Lord; my heart and my flesh are crying out for the living God.

The little birds have places for themselves, where they may put their young, even your altars, O Lord of armies, my King and my God.

They go from strength to strength; every one of them comes before God in Zion.

O Lord God of armies, let my prayer come to you: give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah.)

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 your house is better than a thousand. It is better to be a door-keeper in the house of my God, than to be living in the tents of sin.

The Lord God is our sun and our strength: the Lord will give grace and glory: he will not keep back any good thing from those whose ways are upright.

Lord, you were good to your land: changing the fate of Jacob.

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

The Lord will give what is good; and our land will give its increase.

Noble things are said of you, O town of God. (Selah.)

O Lord, God of my salvation, I have been crying to you for help by day and by night:

My soul is among the dead, like those in the underworld, to whom you give no more thought; for they are cut off from your care.

God is greatly to be feared among the saints, and to be honoured over all those who are about him.

O Lord God of armies, who is strong like you, O Jah? and your unchanging faith is round about you.

The seat of your kingdom is resting on righteousness and right judging: mercy and good faith come before your face.

He will say to me, You are my father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation.

Who says of the Lord, He is my safe place and my tower of strength: he is my God, in whom is my hope.

You will be covered by his feathers; under his wings you will be safe: his good faith will be your salvation.

It is a good thing to give praise to the Lord, and to make melody to your name, O Most High;

O God, in whose hands is punishment, O God of punishment, let your shining face be seen.

And they say, Jah will not see it, the God of Jacob will not give thought to it.

But the Lord is my safe resting-place; my God is the Rock where I am safe.

And he has made their evil designs come back on themselves, cutting them off in their sin; the Lord our God will put an end to them.

For the Lord is a great God, and a great King over all gods.

For he is our God; and we are the people to whom he gives food, and the sheep of his flock. Today, if you would only give ear to his voice!

Make songs to the Lord, blessing his name; give the good news of his salvation day by day.

Give high honour to the Lord our God, worshipping at his feet; holy is he.

You gave them an answer, O Lord our God; you took away their sin, though you gave them punishment for their wrongdoing.

Give high honour to the Lord our God, worshipping with your faces turned to his holy hill; for the Lord our God is holy.

He makes your mouth full of good things, so that your strength is made new again like the eagle's.

Give praise to the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, you are very great; you are robed with honour and power.

The young lions go thundering after their food; searching for their meat from God.

They take what you give them; they are full of the good things which come from your open hand.

I will make songs to the Lord all my life; I will make melody to my God while I have my being.

Let sinners be cut off from the earth, and let all evil-doers come to an end. Give praise to the Lord, O my soul. Give praise to the Lord.

He is the Lord our God: he is judge of all the earth.

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

Let the Lord be praised. O give praise to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.

Keep me in mind, O Lord, when you are good to your people; O let your salvation come to me;

They gave way to their evil desires in the waste land, and put God to the test in the dry places.

They had no memory of God their saviour, who had done great things in Egypt;

They were disgusted with the good land; they had no belief in his word;
