If I say, “My foot has slipped,”
Your compassion and lovingkindness, O Lord, will hold me up.

When my anxious thoughts multiply within me,
Your comforts delight me.

Can a corrupt throne—
one that creates trouble by law—
become Your ally?

They are banded together against the soul of the upright, to give decisions against those who have done no wrong.

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

And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the LORD our God shall cut them off.

O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.

In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also.

O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.

For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,

Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness:

When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.

Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:

Where I sware in Mine anger, 'If they come in unto My rest !'

For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.

Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

Oh worship Jehovah in holy array: Tremble before him, all the earth.

Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.

Fire goes before him, burning up all those who are against him round about.

Ashamed are all servants of a graven image, Those boasting themselves in idols, Bow yourselves to him, all ye gods.

Zion heard, and rejoiced; and the daughters of Judah were glad, because of thy judgments, O Jehovah.

For You are the Lord Most High over all the earth;
You are exalted far above all gods.

You who are lovers of the Lord, be haters of evil; he keeps the souls of his saints; he takes them out of the hand of sinners.

There is sprung up a light for the righteous, and a joyful gladness for such as are true hearted.

He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

With trumpets and the blast of the ram’s horn
shout triumphantly
in the presence of the Lord, our King.

Let them [reverently] praise Your great and awesome name;
Holy is He.

Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy.

Moses and Aaron among His priests, And Samuel among those proclaiming His name. They are calling unto Jehovah, And He doth answer them.

Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions.

Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy.

Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

O go your way into his gates then with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise; be thankful unto him, and speak good of his name.

For the Lord is good;
His mercy and lovingkindness are everlasting,
His faithfulness [endures] to all generations.

I will set no worthless or wicked thing before my eyes.
I hate the practice of those who fall away [from the right path];
It will not grasp hold of me.

A perverse heart shall depart from me;
I will not tolerate evil.

I will destroy anyone
who secretly slanders his neighbor;
I cannot tolerate anyone
with haughty eyes or an arrogant heart.

Mine eyes are on the faithful of the land, To dwell with me, Whoso is walking in a perfect way, he serveth me.

I shall soon destroy all the ungodly that are in the land, that I may root out all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.

Give ear to my prayer, O Lord, and let my cry come to you.

Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline thine ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me speedily.

For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.

I am like a [mournful] vulture of the wilderness;
I am like a [desolate] owl of the wasteland.

I watch, and am even as it were a sparrow that sitteth alone upon the housetop.

Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me.

For I have eaten ashes like bread,
And have mingled my drink with tears

Because of Your indignation and Your wrath,
For You have lifted me up and thrown me away.

My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.

But You, O Lord, are enthroned forever [ruling eternally as sovereign];
And [the fame and glory of] Your name [endures] to all generations.

For Your servants find [melancholy] pleasure in the stones [of her ruins]
And feel pity for her dust.

So the nations will fear the name of the Lord,
And all the kings of the earth [will recognize] Your glory.

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

When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.

I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations.

Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.

They -- They perish, and Thou remainest, And all of them as a garment become old, As clothing Thou changest them, And they are changed.

And Thou art the same, and Thine years are not finished.

“The children of Your servants will continue,
And their descendants will be established before You.”

Give praise to the Lord, O my soul; let not all his blessings go from your memory.

Who forgives all your sins,
Who heals all your diseases;

Who redeems your life from the pit,
Who crowns you [lavishly] with lovingkindness and tender mercy;

Who satisfies your years with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the [soaring] eagle.

The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.

He will not always strive with us,
Nor will He keep His anger forever.

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

For as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is his lovingkindness toward them that fear him.

As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.

As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

but when the wind blows through it, it withers away and no one remembers where it was.

But the lovingkindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who [reverently] fear Him,
And His righteousness to children’s children,

to those who keep his covenant, who are careful to obey his commands.

Bless Jehovah, ye his angels, That are mighty in strength, that fulfil his word, Hearkening unto the voice of his word.

Praise the Lord, all His works
in all the places where He rules.
My soul, praise Yahweh!

Bless and affectionately praise the Lord, O my soul!
O Lord my God, You are very great;
You are clothed with splendor and majesty,

[You are the One] who covers Yourself with light as with a garment,
Who stretches out the heavens like a tent curtain,

The arch of your house is based on the waters; you make the clouds your carriage; you go on the wings of the wind:

You covered it with the deep
as if it were a garment;
the waters stood above the mountains.

At Your rebuke they fled;
At the sound of Your thunder they hurried away.

Then are the hills seen aloft, and the valleys beneath - in their place which thou hast appointed for them.

Bounds, hast thou set, which they are not to pass over, They are not to return to cover the earth.

[You are] the one who sends forth springs into the valleys; they flow between [the] mountains.

The birds of the air have their resting-places by them, and make their song among the branches.

[You are the one who] {waters} [the] mountains from his upper chambers. The earth is full with the fruit of your labors:

The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;

Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.

The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.

He made the moon for a sign of the divisions of the year; teaching the sun the time of its going down.

The young lions are roaring for prey, And to seek from God their food.

The sun riseth, they are gathered, And in their dens they crouch.

O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.

So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.

They all wait for You
To give them their food in its appointed season.

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

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

Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.

Let your meditation be sweet to him. I will rejoice in Yahweh.

Consumed are sinners from the earth, And the wicked are no more. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah. Praise ye Jehovah!

Let your voice be sounding in songs and melody; let all your thoughts be of the wonder of his works.

Have glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who are searching after the Lord be glad.
