He rescued them many times,
but they continued to rebel deliberately
and were beaten down by their sin.

But when their cry came to his ears, he had pity on their trouble:

And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.

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

Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise.

Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD.

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

They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.

Hungry and thirsty,
They fainted.

Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
And He rescued them from their distresses.

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.

Because they went against the words of God, and gave no thought to the laws of the Most High:

Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.

Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
And He saved them from their distresses.

He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke their bands in two.

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

The doors of brass are broken by his arm, and the bands of iron are cut in two.

They detested all kinds of food,
And they drew near to the gates of death.

Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
And He saved them from their distresses.

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

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

And he will say, and he will cause the spirit of storm to stand up, and its waves will rise up.

They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.

They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end.

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.

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

Let them give glory to him in the meeting of the people, and praise among the chiefs.

He sets rivers to a wilderness and water-springs to thirsty ground;

and a fruitful land into a salty waste, due to the wickedness of its inhabitants.

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

And put seed in the fields and make vine-gardens, to give them fruit.

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

He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.

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

Whoso is wise will give heed to these things; And they will consider the lovingkindnesses of Jehovah.

{A song and Psalm of David} O God, my heart is ready to sing and to give praise. Awake, O my glory!

I will praise and give thanks to You, O Lord, among the people;
And I will sing praises to You among the nations.

For Your lovingkindness is great and higher than the heavens;
Your truth reaches to the skies.

To the end thy beloved ones may be delivered, Oh save thou with thy right hand and answer me!

Gilead and Manasseh belong to me, while Ephraim is my chief stronghold and Judah is my scepter.

“Moab is My washbowl;
Over Edom I will throw My shoe [to show Edom is Mine];
Over Philistia I will shout [in triumph].”

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

God, haven’t You rejected us?
God, You do not march out with our armies.

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

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

{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.} Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;

For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me;
They have spoken against me with a lying tongue.

In return for my love, they attack me,
But I am in prayer.

Put an evil man over him; and let one be placed at his right hand to say evil of him.

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

The creditor shall lay snares for all which is to him, and strangers shall plunder his labor.

Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.

Let his ancestors’ guilt
be remembered before the Lord,
and do not let his mother’s sin be blotted out.

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

Yes, he loved cursing, and it came to him. He didn't delight in blessing, and it was far from him.

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

Let this be the Lord’s payment to my accusers,
to those who speak evil against me.

But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name's sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me.

I am fading away like a shadow late in the day; I am shaken off like a locust.

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

Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy:

Let them curse, but bless thou: When they arise, they shall be put to shame, But thy servant shall rejoice.

I will give great praise and thanks to the Lord with my mouth;
And in the midst of many I will praise Him.

For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn 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 shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of 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 at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.

Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)
I will give thanks to the Lord with all my heart,
In the company of the upright and in the congregation.

Great the works of Jehovah, sought out to all their desires.

His work is worthy to be praised and had in honour, and his righteousness endureth forever.

He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.

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

He hath shewn his people the power of his works, to give them the heritage of the 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.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.

Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)
Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the man who fears the Lord [with awe-inspired reverence and worships Him with obedience],
Who delights greatly in His commandments.

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

Good will come to a man who lends generously
and conducts his business fairly.

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

Of evil tidings, shall he not be afraid, Established is his heart, led to trust in Yahweh;

His heart is upheld, he will not fear
While he looks [with satisfaction] on his adversaries.

He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.

The wicked will see it and be angered,
He will gnash his teeth and melt away [in despair and death];
The desire of the wicked will perish and come to nothing.

Let the Lord be praised. O you servants of the Lord, give praise to the name of the Lord.

Be the Name of Yahweh blessed, henceforth, even to times age-abiding.

From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD'S name is to be praised.

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

Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!

To set him among nobles, among the nobles of his people.

He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.

When Israel came out of Egypt, the children of Jacob from a people whose language was strange to them;

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

Why do you skip like rams, O mountains, like lambs, O hills?

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