Psalms:107-150
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Give thanks to Jehovah ,
for He is good ;
for His mercy endures forever .
*
Let the redeemed of Jehovah say so ,
whom He redeemed from the hand of the foe ;
*
and gathered them from the lands ;
from east and from west ;
from north and from south .
*
They wandered in the wilderness ,
in a desert way ;
they found no city of dwelling ;
*
hungry and thirsty ,
their soul fainted in them ;
*
and they cried to Jehovah in their distress ;
He delivered them from their straits .
*
And He guided them in the right way ;
to go to a city of dwelling .
*
Let them thank Jehovah for His mercy ,
and His wonders to the sons of man .
*
He satisfies the thirsty soul ,
and He fills the hungry soul with good .
*
Those who live in the darkness ,
and in the shadow of death ,
being prisoners in affliction and iron ,
*
because they rebelled against the words of God ,
and despised the counsel of the Most High ;
*
and He humbled their heart by toil ;
they stumbled ,
and none were helping ;
*
and they cried to Jehovah in their distress ;
He saved them out of their distresses ;
*
He brought them out from darkness and the shadow of death ;
and He broke their bands apart .
*
Let them thank Jehovah for His mercy ,
and His wonders to the sons of man .
*
For He has broken the gates of bronze ;
and He cut bars of iron in two .
*
Fools are afflicted from the way of their rebellion ,
and from their iniquities ;
*
their soul hates every food ;
and they touch the gates of death ;
*
and they cried to Jehovah in their distress ;
He saved them from their straits ;
*
He sent His word and healed them ;
and delivered them from all their pitfalls .
*
Let them thank Jehovah for His mercy ,
and His wonders to the sons of man .
*
And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving ,
and recount His works with rejoicing .
*
They who go down to the sea in ships ,
who work in the great waters ;
*
these see the works of Jehovah ,
and His wonders in the deep .
*
For He speaks ,
and He raises stormy wind ,
and makes its waves high ;
*
they go up to the heavens ;
they go down to the depths ;
their soul is melted because they are in evil ;
*
they reel and stagger like a drunken man ,
and all their wisdom is swallowed up ;
*
and they cry to Jehovah in their distress ,
and He saves them out of their straits .
*
He settles the storm to a whisper ,
so that its waves are still ;
*
and they are glad ,
because they are quiet ;
and He led them to their desired haven .
*
Let them thank Jehovah for His mercy ,
and His wonders to the sons of mankind ;
*
and exalt Him in the congregation of the people ;
and praise Him in the seat of the elders .
*
He sets rivers to a wilderness ,
and watersprings to thirsty ground ;
*
a fruitful land to a salty desert ;
because of the wickedness of those who live in it .
*
He puts the wilderness into waterponds ;
and dry land into water-springs ;
*
and He makes the hungry live there ,
and they may prepare a city of dwelling .
*
And they sow the fields ,
and plant vineyards ,
and make fruits of produce .
*
He also blesses them ,
so that they multiply greatly ;
and He does not allow their cattle to diminish ;
*
but they are diminished and humbled ,
from coercion ,
evil and grief .
*
He pours scorn on nobles ,
and causes them to wander in a desert ;
there is no path .
*
But He raises the poor up from affliction ,
and He sets families like a flock .
*
The upright shall see and be glad ;
and all iniquity shuts its mouth .
*
Whoever is wise and will observe these things ,
they shall discern the mercies of Jehovah .
*
A Songs .
A Psalm of David .
O God ,
my heart is fixed ;
I will sing ;
yea ,
I will sing songs even with my glory .
*
Awake ,
harp and lyre !
I will awake early ;
*
I will thank You ,
O Jehovah ,
among the peoples ;
and I will sing to You among the nations .
*
For Your mercy is great above the heavens ;
and Your truth reaches to the clouds .
*
Be lifted up ,
O God ,
above the heavens ;
and Your glory above all the earth ;
*
O that Your beloved may be delivered ;
save by Your right hand and answer me .
*
God has spoken in His holiness ;
I will rejoice ;
I will portion out Shechem ;
and I will measure out the valley of Succoth .
*
Gilead is Mine ;
and Manasseh is Mine ;
and Ephraim is the fort of My head ;
Judah is My lawgiver ;
*
Moab is My washpot ;
I will throw My shoe out over Edom ;
I will shout in triumph over Philistia .
*
Who will lead me into the fortified city ?
Who will lead me over Edom ?
*
O God ,
have You not cast us off ?
And ,
O God ,
will You not go out with our armies ?
*
Give help to us from distress ;
for the deliverance of man is vain .
*
In God we shall do mighty things ,
for He shall trample our foes .
*
To the chief musician ,
A Psalm of David .
O God of my praise ,
do not be silent ;
*
for the mouth of the wicked ,
and the deceitful mouth ,
are opened against me ;
they spoke against me with a lying tongue .
*
And they hemmed me in with words of hatred ;
and fought against me without a cause .
*
In return for my love ,
they are my enemies ;
but I am in prayer .
*
And they put on me evil for good ;
and hatred for my love .
*
Set a wicked man over him ;
and let an adversary stand at his right hand ;
*
when he is judged ,
let him go out wicked ;
and let his prayer become sin ;
*
let his days be few ;
and let another take his office ;
*
his sons be orphans ,
and his wife a widow ;
*
and let his sons always beg and wander ,
and seek food out of their ruins ;
*
let the moneylender lay a snare for all that is his ;
and let strangers plunder his labor ;
*
let there be none giving mercy to him ;
nor any to have pity on his orphans ;
*
let his posterity be cut off ;
let their name be blotted out in the following generation ;
*
let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered to Jehovah ;
and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out ;
*
let them be always before Jehovah ,
so that He may cut off the memory of them from the earth ;
*
because he did not remember to do mercy ;
and persecuted the poor and needy man ;
even to kill the broken-hearted .
*
Yea ,
he loved cursing ,
and it came to him ;
he also had no pleasure in blessing ,
and it was far from him .
*
As he clothed himself with cursing ,
as with a robe ,
even it came into his bowels like water ,
and like oil into his bones .
*
Let it be to him as a garment he wraps in ,
and for a girdle that he always girds on .
*
This is the reward of my foes from Jehovah ,
and of those who speak evil against my soul .
*
But You ,
O Jehovah the Lord ,
work with me for Your name '
s sake ;
deliver me because Your mercy is good .
*
For I am poor and needy ,
and my heart is pierced within me .
*
As a shadow when it stretches out ,
I am gone ;
I am shaken off like the locust .
*
My knees stumble from fasting ,
and my flesh grows lean from fatness .
*
And I have become a reproach to them ;
they looked at me ;
they shook their heads .
*
O Jehovah my God ,
help me ;
save me according to Your mercy ;
*
and they will know that this is Your hand ;
that You ,
O Jehovah ,
have done it .
*
They will curse ,
but You will bless ;
they rise up and are ashamed ;
but Your servant will be glad .
*
Let those who accuse me be clothed with shame ;
and cover themselves in their shame as with a robe .
*
I will greatly thank Jehovah with my mouth ;
yea ,
I will praise Him in the midst of the multitude .
*
For He shall stand at the right hand of the needy ;
to save from those judging his soul .
*
A Psalm of David .
A statement of Jehovah to my Lord :
Sit at My right hand ,
until I place Your enemies as Your footstool .
*
Jehovah shall send the rod of Your strength out of Zion ;
rule in the midst of Your enemies .
*
Your people shall be willing in the day of Your power ;
in holy adornment from the womb of the dawn ,
to You is the dew of Your youth .
*
Jehovah has sworn and will not repent :
You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek .
*
The Lord at Your right hand shatters kings in the day of His anger .
*
He shall judge among the nations ;
He shall fill with dead bodies ;
He shall shatter heads over much land .
*
He shall drink out of the torrent on the way ;
therefore ,
He shall lift up the head .
*
Praise Jehovah !
I will thank Jehovah with all my heart ;
in the council of the upright ,
and of the assembly .
*
The works of Jehovah are great ,
sought out by all those desiring them .
*
His work is honorable and glorious ;
and His righteousness is standing forever .
*
He has made a memorial for His wonders ;
Jehovah is gracious and full of pity .
*
He has given food to those who fear Him ;
He will always remember His covenant .
*
He has shown to His people the power of His works ,
to give to them inheritance of the nations .
*
The works of His hands are truth and all His commandments are true ,
*
standing firm forever and ever ;
they are done in truth and uprightness .
*
He sent redemption to His people ;
He has commanded His covenant forever ;
holy and awesome is His name .
*
The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom ;
all who practice them have a good understanding ;
His praise is standing forever !
*
Praise Jehovah !
Blessed is the man who fears Jehovah ,
delighting greatly in His commands .
*
His seed shall be mighty on the earth ;
the generation of the upright shall be blessed ;
*
wealth and riches in his house ;
and his righteousness is standing forever .
*
Light rises in the darkness to the upright ;
he is gracious and full of pity ,
and of righteousness .
*
Good is a man showing favor and lending ;
he will nourish his matters with equity .
*
For he shall not be shaken forever ;
the righteous shall be for a memorial forever .
*
He shall not be afraid of evil news ;
his heart is fixed ,
trusting in Jehovah .
*
His heart is upheld ;
he shall not be afraid though he looks on his foes .
*
He has scattered ;
he has given to the needy ;
his righteousness is standing forever ;
his horn shall be lifted up with honor .
*
The wicked shall see and be vexed ;
he shall gnash his teeth and melt ;
the desire of the wicked shall perish .
*
Praise Jehovah !
Praise ,
O servants of Jehovah ;
praise the name of Jehovah .
*
Blessed is the name of Jehovah from now on and forevermore .
*
From the rising of the sun to its going ,
Jehovah '
s name is to be praised .
*
Jehovah is high above all nations ;
His glory above the heavens .
*
Who is like Jehovah our God ,
who sits on high to dwell ;
*
Who humbles Himself to consider all in the earth and the heavens !
*
He raises up the poor from the dust ;
He lifts the needy out of the dunghill ;
*
in order to make him sit with nobles ,
with the nobles of his people .
*
He causes the barren to live in the house as the joyful mother of sons .
Praise Jehovah !
*
When Israel came out of Egypt ,
the house of Jacob from a people of strange language ;
*
Judah became His sanctuary ,
Israel His kingdom .
*
The sea looked and fled ;
the Jordan turned back ;
*
the mountains skipped like rams ;
the little hills like lambs !
*
What ails you ,
O sea ,
that you flee ?
O Jordan ,
that you turn back ?
*
O mountains ,
that you skip like rams ?
O little hills ,
like lambs ?
*
Tremble ,
O earth ,
from the face of the Lord ,
from the face of the God of Jacob ;
*
who turned the rock into a pool of water ,
the flint into a fountain of waters .
*
Not to us ,
O Jehovah ,
not to us ,
but to Your name give glory ;
for Your mercy ;
because of Your truth .
*
Why do the nations say ,
Where is their God now ?
*
But our God is in Heaven ;
He has done all that He has pleased .
*
Their idols are silver and gold ,
the work of man '
s hands ;
*
they have mouths ,
but they do not speak ;
they have eyes ,
but they do not see ;
*
they have ears ,
but they do not hear ;
they have a nose ,
but they do not smell ;
*
their hands do not feel ;
their feet do not walk ;
they do not mutter through their throat .
*
The ones who make them are like them ,
and everyone trusting in them .
*
O Israel ,
trust in Jehovah ;
He is their help and their shield .
*
O house of Aaron ,
trust in Jehovah ;
He is their help and their shield .
*
You who fear Jehovah ,
trust in Jehovah ;
He is their help and their shield .
*
Jehovah remembers us ;
He will bless ;
He will bless the house of Israel ;
He will bless the house of Aaron ;
*
He will bless those who fear Jehovah ,
the small and the great .
*
Jehovah will add on to you ;
on you and on your sons .
*
You are blessed to Jehovah ,
He who makes heavens and earth .
*
The heavens ;
the heavens are Jehovah '
s ,
but He has given the earth to the sons of men .
*
The dead do not praise Jehovah ,
nor all those who go down into silence ;
*
but we will bless Jehovah ,
from now on and forever .
Praise Jehovah !
*
I love Jehovah because He hears my voice ,
my prayers .
*
Because He has bowed His ear to me ,
I will also call in my days .
*
The cords of death hemmed me in ;
and the pains of Sheol found me ;
I find distress and sorrow ;
*
then I call on the name of Jehovah :
O Jehovah ,
I beseech You ,
deliver my soul !
*
Jehovah is gracious and righteous ;
yea ,
our God is merciful .
*
Jehovah keeps the simple ;
I was low ,
but He saved me .
*
Return to your rest ,
O soul ;
for Jehovah has blessed you .
*
For You have delivered my soul from death ,
my eye from tears ,
my feet from stumbling .
*
I will walk before the face of Jehovah in the lands of the living .
*
I believed ;
so I speak ;
I was greatly afflicted ;
*
I said in my alarm ,
All men are liars .
*
What shall I return to Jehovah for His benefits to me ?
*
I will lift up the cup of salvation ,
and I will call on the name of Jehovah .
*
I will pay my vows to Jehovah now in the presence of all His people .
*
Precious in the eyes of Jehovah is the death of His saints .
*
O Jehovah ,
truly I am Your servant now ;
I am Your servant ,
the son of Your handmaid ;
You have loosed my bonds .
*
I will sacrifice to You the sacrifice of thanks and will call on the name of Jehovah .
*
I will pay my vows to Jehovah now in the presence of all His people ,
*
in the courts of the house of Jehovah ;
in your midst ,
O Jerusalem .
Praise Jehovah !
*
Praise Jehovah ,
all nations ;
praise Him ,
all peoples ;
*
for His mercy is mighty over us ,
and the truth of Jehovah is forever .
Praise Jehovah !
*
Give thanks to Jehovah ,
for He is good ;
because His mercy endures forever .
*
Let Israel say now that His mercy endures forever .
*
Let the house of Aaron say now that His mercy endures forever .
*
Let those who fear Jehovah say now that His mercy endures forever .
*
I called Jehovah from the distress ;
He answered me in the large place of Jehovah .
*
Jehovah is for me ;
I will not fear ;
what can man do to me ?
*
Jehovah is for me among those who help me ,
and I shall see my desire on those who hate me .
*
It is better to trust in Jehovah than to trust in man ;
*
it is better to trust in Jehovah than to trust in princes .
*
All the nations surround me ;
but surely I will destroy them in the name of Jehovah .
*
They surround me ;
yea ,
they surround me ;
I surely will destroy them in the name of Jehovah .
*
they surround me like bees ;
they are quenched like the fire of thorns ;
for surely I will cut them off in the name of Jehovah .
*
Pushing ,
you pushed me to fall ;
but Jehovah helped me .
*
Jehovah is my strength and my song ;
and He is my salvation .
*
The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous ;
the right hand of Jehovah works mightily .
*
The right hand of Jehovah is exalted ;
the right hand of Jehovah acts mightily .
*
I shall not die ,
but I shall live and declare the works of Jehovah .
*
Jehovah has grievously chastened me ,
but He has not given me to death .
*
Open the gates of righteousness to me ,
I will enter into them ;
I will thank Jehovah .
*
This is the gate of Jehovah ,
the righteous shall enter into it .
*
I will thank You ,
for You answered me ,
and are my salvation .
*
The Stone which the builders rejected has become the Head of the corner .
*
This is from Jehovah ,
it is marvelous in our eyes .
*
This is the day Jehovah has made ;
we will rejoice and be glad in it .
*
O Jehovah ,
I beseech You ,
save now ;
I beseech You ,
O Jehovah ,
cause us to prosper now .
*
Blessed is he who comes in the name of Jehovah ;
we blessed you from the house of Jehovah .
*
Jehovah is God ,
and He gives light to us .
Tie the sacrifice with cords ,
to the horns of the altar .
*
You are my God ,
and I will exalt You ;
My God ,
I will thank You !
*
O give thanks to Jehovah ,
for He is good ;
for His mercy endures forever .
*
Aleph Blessed are the upright in the way ,
who walk in the law of Jehovah .
*
Blessed are those keeping His testimonies ,
who seek Him with the whole heart .
*
They also do not work evil ;
they walk in His way .
*
You have commanded to carefully keep Your precepts .
*
O that my ways were fixed to keep Your statutes !
*
Then I shall not be ashamed ,
when I look to all Your commands .
*
I will thank You with integrity of heart ,
in my learning the judgments of Your righteousness .
*
I will keep Your statutes ;
do not forsake me utterly .
*
Beth By what shall a young man purify his way ,
to keep it according to Your word ?
*
I have sought You with my whole heart ;
do not let me wander from Your commands .
*
I have hidden Your word in my heart ,
that I might not sin against You .
*
Blessed are you ,
O Jehovah ;
teach me Your statutes .
*
I have declared all the judgments of Your mouth with my lips ;
*
I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies as over all riches .
*
I will meditate in Your precepts and I will regard Your ways .
*
I will delight myself in Your statutes .
I will not forget Your word .
*
Gimel .
Deal bountifully with Your servant that I may live ,
and I will keep Your word .
*
Open my eyes and I will see wonderful things from Your law .
*
I am an alien in the earth ;
hide not Your commandments from me .
*
My soul is breaking for the longing to Your judgments in every season .
*
You have rebuked the proud ,
the cursed ones who go astray from Your commands .
*
Roll from me reproach and scorn ;
for I have kept Your testimonies .
*
Princes also sat ,
speaking against me ;
but Your servant meditates on Your laws .
*
Your testimonies also are my delight and my counselors .
*
Daleth .
My soul clings to the dust ;
give me life according to Your word .
*
I have declared my ways ,
and You answered me ;
teach me Your statutes .
*
Make me understand the way of Your precepts ,
and I will meditate on Your wonders .
*
My soul drops with grief ;
Lift me up according to Your word .
*
Remove from me the way of lying ,
and favor me with Your law .
*
I have chosen the way of truth ;
I have held Your judgments level ;
*
I have clung to Your testimonies ;
O Jehovah ,
do not shame me .
*
I will run the way of Your commands ,
for You shall enlarge my heart .
*
He .
O Jehovah ,
teach me the way of Your statutes ,
and I will keep it to the end .
*
Make me understand and I will keep Your law ,
and observe it with the whole heart .
*
Make me walk in the way of Your commands ,
for in it I delight .
*
Bow my heart to Your testimonies ,
and not to unjust gain .
*
Turn my eyes from seeing vanity ;
in Your way give me life .
*
Make Your word sure to Your servant ,
who is devoted to Your fear .
*
Turn away my shame which I fear ;
for Your judgments are good .
*
Behold ,
I have longed for Your precepts ;
grant to me life in Your righteousness .
*
Vau .
By Your word ,
according to Your salvation ,
let Your mercies come to me ,
O Jehovah .
*
And I will answer my reprover a word ;
for I trust in Your word .
*
And do not take the word of truth completely out of my mouth ;
for I have hoped in Your judgments .
*
And I shall keep Your law continually ,
forever and ever .
*
And I will walk in a wide space ,
for I seek Your commands .
*
And I will speak of Your testimonies before kings ,
and will not be ashamed .
*
And I will delight myself in Your commandments ,
which I have loved .
*
And I will lift up my hands to Your commandments that I love ;
and I will meditate on Your statutes .
*
Zayin .
Remember the word to Your servant ,
on which You made me hope .
*
This is my comfort in my affliction ;
for Your word has given me life .
*
The proud have scorned me utterly ;
I have not veered from Your law .
*
I remembered Your judgments from of old ,
O Jehovah ,
and I take comfort .
*
Hot zeal has seized me because of the wicked forsaking Your law .
*
Your statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimages .
*
O Jehovah ,
I have remembered Your name in the night and have kept Your law .
*
This was done to me ,
because I kept Your commandments .
*
Cheth .
Jehovah is my portion ;
I have said to keep Your words .
*
I entreated Your face with all my heart ;
favor me according to Your word .
*
I mused on my ways and turned my feet to Your testimonies .
*
I hurried and delayed not to keep Your commands .
*
The cords of the wicked encircle me ;
I have not forgotten Your law .
*
At halves of the night I will rise to give thanks to You because of Your righteous judgments .
*
I am a companion of all who fear You ;
yea ,
of those who keep Your precepts .
*
O Jehovah ,
the earth is full of Your mercy ;
teach me Your statutes .
*
Teth .
You have done good with Your servant ,
O Jehovah ,
by Your word .
*
Teach me good judgment and knowledge ,
for I have believed Your commands .
*
Before I was afflicted I went astray ;
but now I have kept Your word .
*
You are good and do good ;
teach me Your statutes .
*
The proud have forged a lie against me ;
I will keep Your precepts with all my heart .
*
Their heart is like fat ,
without feeling ;
I delight in Your law .
*
For my good for me that I was afflicted ,
to learn Your statutes .
*
The law of Your mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver .
*
Jod .
Your hands made me and fixed me ;
give me discernment that I may learn Your commands .
*
The ones fearing You will see me and rejoice ;
for I hoped in Your word .
*
I know ,
O Jehovah ,
Your judgments are right ;
and in fidelity You afflicted me .
*
Please let Your mercy be for my comfort ,
by Your word to Your servant .
*
Let Your mercies come to me that I may live ;
for Your law is my delight .
*
Let the proud be ashamed ,
for with lies they perverted me ;
I will muse on Your precepts .
*
Let fearers of You turn to me ,
and knowers of Your testimonies .
*
Let my heart be blameless in Your statutes ,
that I may not be ashamed .
*
Kaph .
My soul is being consumed for Your salvation ;
I hope in Your word .
*
My eyes fail for Your word ,
saying ,
When will You comfort me ?
*
For I am like a wineskin in the smoke ;
I do not forget Your statutes .
*
As what are the days of Your servant ?
When will You execute judgment on my persecutors ?
*
The proud have dug pits for me which are not according to Your law .
*
All Your commands are faithful ;
they persecute me with lying ;
help me !
*
In a little they had finished me on earth ;
but I did not forsake Your precepts .
*
Give me life according to Your mercy ,
and I will keep the testimonies of Your mouth .
*
Lamed .
Your Word is settled in Heaven forever ,
O Jehovah .
*
Your fidelity is to generation and generation ;
You founded the earth ,
and it stands .
*
They stand by Your judgments to this day ,
for all are Your servants .
*
If Your law had not been my delight ,
then I had perished in my grief .
*
I will never forget Your precepts ;
for with them You gave me life .
*
I am Yours save me ;
for I have sought Your precepts .
*
The wicked waited for me ,
to destroy me ;
I will muse on Your testimonies .
*
I have seen an end to all perfection ;
Your command is exceedingly broad .
*
Mem .
Oh how I love Your law !
It is my meditation all the day .
*
You make me wiser than my enemies by Your commands ;
for they are forever mine .
*
I have more wisdom than all my teachers ;
for Your testimonies are a meditation to me .
*
I understand more than the aged ,
for I keep Your precepts .
*
I have kept my feet from every evil way ,
to keep Your word .
*
I turned not from Your judgments ;
for You have taught me .
*
How sweet are Your words to my palate !
More than honey to my mouth !
*
By Your precepts I know ;
so then I hate every false way .
*
Nun .
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path .
*
I have sworn and I rise to it ,
to keep Your righteous judgments .
*
I am greatly afflicted ;
O Jehovah ,
give me life according to Your word .
*
Please ,
O Jehovah ,
accept the free offering of my mouth ,
and teach me Your judgments .
*
My life is in my hand continually ,
yet I do not forget Your law .
*
The wicked have laid a snare for me ;
yet I do not wander from Your precepts .
*
I have inherited Your testimonies forever ;
for they are the rejoicing of my heart .
*
I have bowed my heart to do Your statutes always to the end .
*
Samech .
I hate the halfhearted ;
but I love Your law .
*
You are my covert and my shield ;
I hope in Your word .
*
Depart from me ,
O evildoers ,
for I will keep my God '
s commands .
*
Uphold me by Your word ,
that I may live ;
and let me not be ashamed of my hope .
*
Hold me up and I will be saved ;
and I will always look to Your statutes .
*
You have trampled all who go astray from Your statutes for their deceit is falsehood .
*
As dross You have made all the wicked of the earth to cease ;
so I love Your testimonies .
*
My flesh has shivered because of Your fear ;
and I have feared Your judgments .
*
Ayin .
I have done the just and right thing ;
do not leave me to my oppressors .
*
Be surety for Your servant for good ;
let not the proud oppress me .
*
My eyes fail for Your salvation ,
and for the word of Your righteousness .
*
Deal with Your servant by Your mercy ;
and teach me Your statutes .
*
I am Your servant ;
make me consider and I will know Your testimonies .
*
It is time for Jehovah to work ;
they have broken Your law .
*
So I have loved Your commands ,
more than gold ,
even fine gold .
*
So I count wholly right all the precepts ;
I have hated every false way .
*
Pe .
Your testimonies are wonderful ;
so my soul keeps them .
*
The entering of Your word gives light ,
instructing the simple ones .
*
I opened my mouth and panted ;
for I longed for Your commands .
*
Turn to me and favor me ,
as is the way to those who love Your name .
*
Fix my steps in Your word ;
and let no evil rule over me .
*
Redeem me from the oppression of man ;
and I will keep Your precepts .
*
Make Your face shine on Your servant ,
and teach me Your statutes .
*
Rivers of waters run down my eyes for they do not keep Your law .
*
Tzaddi .
O Jehovah ,
You are righteous ,
and Your judgments right .
*
You have enjoined Your testimonies as righteous and very faithful .
*
My zeal has eaten me up ,
for my enemies have forgotten Your word
*
Your word is pure and Your servant loves it .
*
I am small and despised ;
I do not forget Your precepts .
*
Your righteousness is forever ,
and Your law is truth .
*
Distress and anguish have found me ;
Your commands are my delight .
*
The righteousness of Your testimonies is everlasting ;
make me know and I will live .
*
Qoph .
I cried with my whole heart ;
O Jehovah ,
answer me ;
I will keep Your statutes .
*
I cried to You ;
save me and I will keep Your testimonies .
*
I go before the dawn of day and cry ;
I hope in Your word .
*
My eyes go before the night watches ,
to meditate on Your word .
*
Hear my voice by Your mercy ,
O Jehovah ;
give me life by Your judgment .
*
The pursuers of mischief draw near ;
they are far from Your law .
*
You are near ,
O Jehovah ,
and all Your commands are truth .
*
Of old I have known from Your testimonies ,
for You have founded them forever .
*
Resh .
Look on my affliction and deliver me ;
for I do not forget Your law .
*
Contend for my cause and redeem me ;
give me life according to Your word .
*
Salvation is far from the wicked ,
for they do not seek Your statutes .
*
O Jehovah ,
Your tender mercies are great ;
give me life according to Your judgments .
*
My persecutors and enemies are many ;
I do not turn from Your testimonies .
*
I saw the traitors and was grieved ,
because they did not keep Your word .
*
See how I love Your precepts ,
O Jehovah ;
give me life according to Your mercy .
*
The sum of Your word is true ;
every one of Your righteous judgments endures forever .
*
Shin .
Princes have persecuted me without cause ;
but my heart has feared at Your word .
*
I rejoice at Your word ,
as one who finds great spoil .
*
I hate and despise lying ;
but I love Your law .
*
I praise You seven times a day because of Your righteous judgments .
*
Great peace is to those who love Your law ,
and there is no stumblingblock to them .
*
O Jehovah ,
I have hoped for Your salvation ,
and have done Your precepts .
*
My soul has kept Your testimonies ,
and I love them very much ;
*
I have kept Your commands and Your testimonies ,
for all my ways are before You .
*
Tau .
Let my cry come near You ,
O Jehovah ;
give me wisdom according to Your word .
*
Let my prayer come before You ;
deliver me according to Your word .
*
My lips shall pour forth praise when You have taught me Your statutes .
*
My tongue shall answer Your word ,
for all Your commands are righteousness .
*
Let Your hand help me ;
for I have chosen Your precepts
*
I have longed for Your salvation ,
O Jehovah ;
and Your law is my delight .
*
Let my soul live and it will praise You ;
and let Your judgments help me .
*
I have gone astray like a lost sheep ;
seek Your servant ;
for I do not forget Your commandments .
*
A Song of Ascents .
In my distress I cried to Jehovah ,
and He answered me .
*
O Jehovah ,
deliver my soul from lying lips ,
from a deceitful tongue .
*
What shall be given to you ,
or what shall one add to you ,
O false tongue ?
*
Sharp arrows of the mighty with coals of broom !
*
Woe is me that I sojourned in Meshech ;
I dwell with the tents of Kedar !
*
My soul has long dwelt to itself ,
with him who hates peace .
*
I am for peace ;
but when I speak ,
they are for war .
*
A Song of Ascents .
I will lift up my eyes to the hills ;
from where shall my help come ?
*
My help comes from Jehovah ,
the Maker of the heavens and the earth .
*
He will not give your foot to slip ;
He who keeps you will not slumber .
*
Behold ,
He who keeps Israel will not slumber nor sleep .
*
Jehovah is your keeper ;
Jehovah is your shade on your right hand .
*
The sun shall not strike you by day ,
nor the moon by night ;
*
Jehovah shall keep you from all evil ;
He shall keep your soul .
*
Jehovah shall keep your going out ,
and your coming in ,
from now on and till forever .
*
A Song of Ascents ;
of David .
I was glad when they said to me ,
Let us go into the house of Jehovah .
*
Our feet shall stand within your gates ,
O Jerusalem .
*
Jerusalem is built like a city that is joined to itself ,
together .
*
There the tribes go up ,
the tribes of Jehovah ;
to the testimony of Israel ;
to give thanks to the name of Jehovah .
*
For the thrones of judgment were established there ,
the thrones of the house of David .
*
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem ;
those who love you shall prosper .
*
Peace be within your walls ;
prosperity in your towers .
*
Because of my brothers and my companions ,
I will now say ,
Peace be in you .
*
Because of the house of Jehovah ,
our God ,
I will seek your good .
*
A Song of Ascents .
I will lift up my eyes on You ,
O Dweller in Heaven .
*
Behold ,
as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters ;
as the eyes of a maiden to the hand of her mistress ;
so our eyes wait on Jehovah our God ,
until He shows grace to us .
*
Be gracious to us ,
O Jehovah ;
be gracious to us !
For we are exceedingly filled with scorn .
*
Our soul is exceedingly filled for itself with the contempt of those who are at ease ,
the scorn of the proud .
*
A Song of Ascents ,
of David .
Except that it was Jehovah who was for us ,
O may Israel say ;
*
except that it was Jehovah who was for us when men rose up against us ,
*
then they would have swallowed us alive ,
when their anger glowed against us .
*
Then the waters would have flowed over us ;
the torrent would have covered our soul ;
*
then the raging waters would have passed over our soul .
*
Blessed be Jehovah ,
who did not give us as a prey to their teeth .
*
Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowlers '
snare ;
the snare is broken ,
and we have escaped .
*
Our help is in the name of Jehovah ,
the Maker of the heavens and earth .
*
A Song of Ascents .
They who trust in Jehovah shall be like Mount Zion ;
it is not shaken ;
it remains forever .
*
The mountains are all around Jerusalem ;
and Jehovah is all around His people ,
from this time and forever .
*
For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest on the lot of the righteous ;
that the righteous not put forth their hands to evil .
*
Do good ,
O Jehovah ,
to the good ,
and to the upright in their heart .
*
And those who turn aside to their crooked ways ,
Jehovah shall lead them with the evildoers .
Peace be upon Israel .
*
A Song of Ascents .
When Jehovah turned back the captivity of Zion ,
we were like those who dream .
*
Then our mouth was full of laughter ,
and our tongue with joyful shouting ;
then they said among the nations ,
Jehovah will work great things with these .
*
Jehovah did great things to work with us ;
we are glad .
*
Turn her captivity again ,
O Jehovah ,
like the south streams .
*
Those who sow in tears shall reap with joyful shouting .
*
Surely he who walks and weeps ,
bearing a trail of seed ,
shall come again with joyful shouting ,
bearing his sheaves .
*
A Song of Ascents ,
for Solomon .
If Jehovah does not build the house ,
they who build it labor in vain ;
if Jehovah does not keep the city ,
the watchman stays awake in vain .
*
It is in vain for you to rise early ,
sit up late ,
to eat the bread of toils ;
for so He gives His beloved sleep .
*
Behold !
Children are an inheritance of Jehovah ;
the fruit of the womb is His reward .
*
As arrows in the hand of a mighty man ,
so are the sons of the young .
*
Blessed is the man who has filled his quiver with them ;
they shall not be ashamed ,
for they shall speak with their enemies in the gate .
*
A Song of Ascents .
Blessed is everyone who fears Jehovah ,
who walks in His ways .
*
For you shall surely eat the labor of your hands ;
you shall be happy ,
and all is good to you .
*
Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine by the sides of your house ;
your sons shall be like olive plants around your table .
*
Behold !
So shall the man be blessed who fears Jehovah .
*
Jehovah shall bless you out of Zion ;
and you shall see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life .
*
Yes ,
you shall see the sons of your sons .
Peace be upon Israel !
*
A Song of Ascents .
Many times they have afflicted me from my youth ,
let Israel now say ;
*
they have afflicted me from my youth many times ,
yet they have not prevailed over me .
*
The plowers plowed on my back ;
they made their furrows long .
*
Jehovah is righteous ;
He severs the cords of the wicked .
*
Let them be ashamed and turned back ,
all those who hate Zion ;
*
let them be like the grass on the rooftops ,
which dries up before it draws out ;
*
with which the reaper does not fill his palm ,
nor the binder of sheaves his bosom .
*
And those who pass by have never said ,
The blessing of Jehovah be on you ;
we bless you in the name of Jehovah .
*
A Song of Ascents .
Out of the depths I have called You ,
O Jehovah .
*
Lord ,
hear my voice ,
and let Your ears attend to the voice of my prayers .
*
If You will keep iniquities ,
O Jehovah ,
O Lord ,
who shall stand ?
*
But forgiveness is with You that You may be feared .
*
I wait for Jehovah ;
my soul waits ,
and I hope for His word .
*
My soul waits for the Lord more than morning-watchers watching for the morning .
*
Let Israel hope to Jehovah ,
for with Jehovah is mercy ,
and with Him is abundant redemption ;
*
and He shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities .
*
A Song of Ascents .
Of David .
O Jehovah ,
my heart is not proud ,
nor have my eyes been lofty ;
nor have I walked in great things ,
nor in things too wondrous for me .
*
Surely I have set myself and have quieted my soul ,
like one weaned by its mother ;
my soul on me is like one weaned .
*
Let Israel hope in Jehovah ,
from now and till forever .
*
A Song of Ascents .
O Jehovah ,
remember David with all his afflictions ;
*
how he swore to Jehovah ;
he vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob ,
*
If I will go into the tent of my house ,
if I go up on the couch of my bed ,
*
if I give sleep to my eyes ,
slumber to my eyelids ,
*
until I search out a place for Jehovah ,
dwellings for the Mighty One of Jacob .
*
Lo ,
we have heard of it at Ephratah ;
we found it in the fields of the forest ;
*
we will enter into His tabernacles ;
we will worship at His footstool .
*
Arise ,
O Jehovah ,
into Your rest ;
You ,
and the ark of Your strength ;
*
Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness ,
and let Your saints shout for joy .
*
For Your servant David '
s sake do not turn away the face of Your anointed .
*
Jehovah has sworn to David in truth ;
He will not turn from it ;
I will set one of the fruit of your body on the throne for you .
*
If your sons will keep My covenant and My testimonies which I will teach them ,
their sons shall also sit on your throne till forever .
*
Jehovah has chosen Zion ;
He has desired it for His dwelling-place .
*
This is My rest till forever ;
I will dwell here ;
I have desired it .
*
I will surely bless her food ;
I will satisfy her poor with food .
*
And I will clothe her priests with salvation ;
and her saints shall surely shout .
*
I will make the horn of David to sprout ;
I have prepared a lamp for My anointed .
*
I will clothe his enemies with shame ;
but his crown shall shine upon him .
*
A Song of Ascents .
Of David .
Behold !
How good and how pleasant is the living of brothers ,
even in unity .
*
It is like the precious oil on the head that ran down on the beard ,
Aaron '
s beard ,
going down to the mouth of his garments ;
*
like the dew of Hermon coming down on the mountains of Zion ;
for there Jehovah commanded the blessing :
life till everlasting .
*
A Song of Ascents .
Behold ,
bless Jehovah ,
all servants of Jehovah ;
who stand in the house of Jehovah at night .
*
Lift up your hands in the holy place ,
and bless Jehovah .
*
May Jehovah bless you out of Zion ,
He who made the heavens and earth .
*
Praise Jehovah !
Praise the name of Jehovah ;
sing praise ,
servants of Jehovah ;
*
those who stand in the house of Jehovah in the courts of the house of our God ;
*
praise Jehovah !
For Jehovah is good !
Sing praises to His name ,
for it is delightful .
*
For Jehovah has chosen Jacob to Himself ,
Israel for His special treasure .
*
For I know that Jehovah is great ,
and our Lord is above all gods .
*
Every thing which Jehovah was pleased to do ,
He did ,
in the heavens and in the earth ;
and in the seas and all deep places .
*
He causes the vapors to rise from the end of the earth ;
He makes lightnings for the rain ;
He brings the wind out of His storehouses ;
*
He who struck the first-born of Egypt ,
from man to animal ;
*
who sent signs and wonders into your midst ,
O Egypt ,
on Pharaoh and on all his servants ;
*
who struck great nations ,
and killed mighty kings ;
*
Sihon king Of the Amorites ,
and Og king of Bashan ,
and all the kingdoms of Canaan .
*
And He gave their land as an inheritance ,
an inheritance to His people Israel .
*
O Jehovah ,
Your name endures forever ;
O Jehovah ,
Your memorial is from generation and generation .
*
For Jehovah will judge His people ;
and He will have pity on His servants .
*
The idols of the nations are silver and gold ,
the work of men '
s hands ;
*
they have mouths ,
but they say nothing ;
they have eyes ,
but they see nothing ;
*
they have ears ,
but they hear nothing ;
yea ,
there is no breath in their mouths .
*
Those who make them are like them ,
everyone who is trusting in them .
*
Bless Jehovah ,
O house of Israel ;
bless Jehovah ,
O house of Aaron ;
*
Bless Jehovah ,
O house of Levi ;
you who fear Jehovah ,
bless Jehovah .
*
Blessed be Jehovah out of Zion ,
He who dwells at Jerusalem .
Praise Jehovah !
*
O give thanks to Jehovah ,
for He is good ;
for His mercy endures forever .
*
O give thanks to the God of gods ;
for His mercy endures forever .
*
O give thanks to the Lord of lords ;
for His mercy endures forever ;
*
to Him who alone does great wonders ;
for His mercy endures forever ;
*
to Him who by wisdom made the heavens ;
for His mercy endures forever ;
*
to Him who spread the earth on the waters ;
for His mercy endures forever ;
*
to Him who made great lights ;
for His mercy endures forever ;
*
the sun to rule by day ;
for His mercy endures forever ;
*
the moon and the stars to rule by night ;
for His mercy endures forever ;
*
to Him who struck Egypt in her first-born ;
for His mercy endures forever ;
*
and brought Israel out from among them ;
for His mercy endures forever ;
*
with a strong hand and a stretched out arm ;
for His mercy endures forever ;
*
to Him who divided the Sea of Reeds into parts ;
for His mercy endures forever ;
*
and made Israel pass through the middle of it ;
for His mercy endures forever ;
*
but shook Pharaoh and his army off in the Sea of Reeds ;
for His mercy endures forever ;
*
to Him who led His people in the wilderness ;
for His mercy endures forever ;
*
to Him who struck great kings ;
for His mercy endures forever ;
*
and killed majestic kings ;
for His mercy endures forever ;
*
Sihon ,
king of the Amorites ;
for His mercy endures forever ;
*
and Og ,
the king of Bashan ;
for His mercy endures forever ;
*
and gave their land for an inheritance ;
for His mercy endures forever ;
*
an inheritance to His servant Israel ;
for His mercy endures forever ;
*
who remembered us in our low estate ;
for His mercy endures forever ;
*
and has rescued us from our enemies ;
for His mercy endures forever ;
*
who gives food to all flesh ;
for His mercy endures forever .
*
O give thanks to the God of Heaven ;
for His mercy endures forever .
*
There by the rivers of Babylon we sat down ;
also we wept when we remembered Zion .
*
We hung our lyres on the willows in its midst .
*
For there our captors asked us the words of a song ;
yea ,
our plunderers asked joy ,
saying ,
Sing to us a song of Zion .
*
How shall we sing the song of Jehovah on a foreign soil ?
*
If I forget you ,
O Jerusalem ,
let my right hand forget ;
*
let my tongue cleave to my palate ,
if I do not remember you ,
if I do not bring up Jerusalem above the head of my joy .
*
O Jehovah ,
remember for the sons of Edom the day of Jerusalem ;
who said ,
Make it bare !
Make it bare even to its foundation !
*
O daughter of Babylon ,
O destroyed one !
Blessed is he who shall repay to you your reward which you rewarded to us .
*
Blessed is he who seizes your little ones and dashes them against the stone !
*
A Psalm of David .
I will thank You with my whole heart ;
I will sing praise to You before the gods ;
*
I will worship toward Your holy temple ,
and give thanks to Your name for Your mercy ,
and for Your truth ;
for You have magnified Your word above all Your name .
*
You answered me in the day that I cried ;
You emboldened me in my soul with strength .
*
All the kings of the earth shall thank You ,
O Jehovah ,
because they have heard the words of Your mouth .
*
Yes ,
they shall sing in the ways of Jehovah ;
for the glory of Jehovah is great .
*
Though Jehovah is high ,
yet He looks upon the lowly ;
but the proud He knows from afar .
*
If I walk in the midst of distress ,
You give me life ;
You send out Your hand against the wrath of my enemies ,
and Your right hand delivers me .
*
Jehovah will perfect His work in me ;
O Jehovah ,
Your mercy endures forever ;
You will not forsake the works of Your hands .
*
To the chief musician .
A Psalm of David .
O Jehovah ,
You have searched me and known me .
*
You know my sitting down ,
and my rising up ;
You understand my thought from afar off .
*
You sift my path and my lying down ,
and are acquainted with all my ways .
*
For not a word is on my tongue ,
but ,
lo ,
O Jehovah ,
You know it all .
*
You have closed me in behind ,
and in front ,
and Your hand is laid on me .
*
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me ;
it is set on high ;
I am not able to reach it .
*
Where shall I go from Your Spirit ?
Or where shall I flee from Your face ?
*
If I go up to Heaven ,
You are there ;
if I make my bed in Sheol ,
behold ,
You are there !
*
If I take the wings of the morning ,
dwelling in the uttermost part of the sea ,
*
even there Your hand shall lead me ;
and Your right hand shall seize me .
*
If I say :
Surely the darkness shall cover me ;
even the night shall be light around me .
*
Even the darkness will not be dark from You ,
but the night shines as the day ;
as is the darkness ,
so is the light .
*
For You have possessed my inward parts ;
You wove me in the womb of my mother .
*
I will thank You ,
for with fearful things I am wonderful ;
Your works are marvelous ,
and my soul knows it very well .
*
My bones were not hidden from You when I was made in secret ;
when I was woven in the depths of the earth .
*
Your eyes saw my embryo ;
and in Your book all my members were written the days they were formed ,
and not one was among them .
*
And how precious are Your thoughts to me ,
O God !
How great is the sum of them !
*
If I should count them ,
they are more than the sand ;
when I awake I am still with You .
*
Surely You will slay the wicked ,
O God ;
and bloody men ,
depart from me .
*
Who will maliciously speak against You ?
Your enemies are lifted up with vanity .
*
O Jehovah ,
do not I hate those hating You ?
And am I not detesting those rising against You ?
*
I hate them with a perfect hatred ;
they have become my enemies .
*
Search me ,
O God ,
and know my heart ;
try me ,
and know my thoughts ;
*
and see if any wicked way is in me ;
and lead me in the way everlasting .
*
To the chief musician .
A Psalm of David .
O Jehovah ,
deliver me from the evil man ;
keep me from the violent man ,
*
who devises evil things in the heart ;
they gather wars all the day .
*
They sharpen their tongues like a snake ;
adders '
poison is under their lips .
Selah .
*
O Jehovah ,
keep me from the wicked '
s hands ;
keep me from the violent man who plans to trip up my steps .
*
The proud have hidden cords and a trap for me ;
they have spread a net by the wayside ;
they have set snares for me .
Selah .
*
I said to Jehovah ,
You are my God ;
O Jehovah ,
hear the voice of my prayers .
*
O Jehovah the Lord ,
the strength of my salvation ,
You have covered my head in the day of armor .
*
O Jehovah ,
do not grant the desires of the wicked ;
do not promote his plan ,
lest they be exalted .
Selah .
*
As for the leaders of those around me ,
let the evil of their own lips cover them .
*
Let burning coals fall on them ;
let them fall on coals of fire ;
make them fall into deep pits so that they do not rise again .
*
Do not let a man of tongue be established in the earth ;
evil shall hunt the violent man ,
thrust upon thrust .
*
I know that Jehovah will maintain the cause of the afflicted ,
the justice of the poor .
*
Surely the righteous shall give thanks to Your name ;
the upright shall dwell in Your presence .
*
A Psalm of David .
O Jehovah ,
I cry to You ;
hasten to me ;
hear my voice when I cry to You .
*
Let my prayer be established before You as incense ;
the lifting up of my palms as the evening sacrifice .
*
O Jehovah ,
set a guard to my mouth ;
keep watch on the door of my lips .
*
Do not let my heart turn aside to any evil thing ,
to practice deeds in wickedness with men who do evil ;
and do not let me eat of their delicacies .
*
Let the righteous strike me ;
it is a mercy ;
and he rebuking me ,
it is oil of the head ,
let not my head refuse it ;
for yet my prayer also shall be against their evils .
*
Their judges have been dashed against the rock ;
they shall hear my words for they are pleasant .
*
As when one plows and tears the earth ,
so our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol .
*
But my eyes are on You ,
O Jehovah ,
my Lord ;
in You I take refuge ;
do not make my soul naked .
*
Keep me from the hands of the trap they laid for me ,
and from the snares of the workers of evil .
*
Let the wicked fall into their own nets at the same time ;
I even shall pass by .
*
An Instruction of David ,
a Prayer ,
in his being in the cave .
I cry to Jehovah with my voice ;
I pray to Jehovah with my voice .
*
I pour out my musing before Him ;
I declare my distress before Him .
*
When my spirit faints within me ,
then You know my path ;
they have hidden a snare for me in the path in which I walk .
*
I look to the right hand and see ,
and no one recognizes me ;
every escape is hidden from me ;
no one inquires for my soul .
*
I cried to You ,
O Jehovah ;
I said ,
You are my refuge ,
my portion in the land of the living .
*
Attend to my cry ;
for I am brought very low ;
deliver me from those who pursue me ;
for they are stronger than I .
*
Bring my soul out from prison to give thanks to Your name ;
the righteous shall gather around me ;
for You shall deal bountifully with me .
*
A Psalm of David .
Hear my prayer ,
O Jehovah give ear to my supplications ;
answer me in Your faithfulness ,
in Your righteousness ;
*
and do not enter into judgment with Your servant ;
for not anyone living is just in Your sight .
*
For the enemy has pursued my soul ;
he has beaten my life to the ground ;
he has made me dwell in darkness like the dead of old .
*
And my spirit within me has fainted ;
my heart within me is stunned .
*
I remember the days of old .
I meditate on all Your works ;
I muse on the work of Your hands .
*
I spread out my hands to You ;
my soul thirsts to You like a thirsty land .
Selah .
*
O Jehovah ,
answer me quickly ;
my spirit is failing ;
do not hide Your face from me lest I be like the ones who go down to the Pit .
*
Cause me to hear Your mercy in the morning ,
for I do trust in You ;
cause me to know the way I should walk ,
for I lift up my soul to You .
*
O Jehovah ,
deliver me from my enemies ;
to You I have hidden .
*
Teach me to do Your will ;
for You are my God ;
Your Spirit is good ;
lead me into the land of justice .
*
O Jehovah ,
because of Your name ,
enliven me ;
in Your righteousness ,
bring my soul out of distress .
*
And in Your mercy cut off my enemies ;
and destroy all those who afflict my soul ;
for I am Your servant .
*
A Psalm of David .
Blessed be Jehovah my Rock ,
who teaches my hands for war ,
my fingers for battle .
*
He is my mercy and my fortress ,
my high tower and my deliverer ,
my shield ,
and in Him I take refuge ,
in Him who humbles my people under me .
*
O Jehovah ,
what is man that You know him ;
the son of man ,
that you esteem him ?
*
Man is like to vanity ;
his days are like a shadow that passes .
*
Bow down Your heavens ,
O Jehovah ;
and come down ;
touch the mountains and they shall smoke .
*
Flash out lightning and scatter them ;
send out Your arrows and confound them .
*
Send Your hand from above ;
rescue me and deliver me out of great waters ,
from the hand of a foreigner '
s sons ,
*
whose mouths have spoken vanity ;
and their right hand is a right hand of lies .
*
I will sing a new song to You ,
O God ;
I will sing praises to You on a harp of ten strings ,
*
You who gives salvation to kings ,
who delivers His servant David from the evil sword .
*
Rescue me and deliver me from the foreigners '
sons ,
those whose mouths have spoken vanity ;
and their right hand is a right hand of lies ;
*
so that our sons may be like plants grown up in their youth ;
and our daughters like corner-stones hewn like a palace building ;
*
and our storehouses may be full ,
furnishing kind to kind ;
our flocks may breed thousands and ten thousands outside ,
*
our oxen laden ;
there is no break and no going out ,
and no crying in our plazas .
*
Blessed are the peoples that are so ;
blessed are the peoples whose God is Jehovah !
*
A Psalm of Praise ,
of David .
I will exalt you ,
my God ,
O King ;
and bless Your name forever and ever .
*
I will bless You every day ;
and I will praise Your name forever and ever .
*
Jehovah is great and to be greatly praised ;
and to His greatness there is no finding out .
*
Generation to generation shall praise Your works ;
and shall declare Your mighty acts .
*
I will muse on the glorious honor of Your majesty ,
and the things of Your wonderful works .
*
And they shall speak of the might of Your awesome works ,
and I will declare Your greatness .
*
They shall express the memory of Your great goodness ,
and they shall sing of Your righteousness .
*
Jehovah is gracious and merciful ,
long to anger and of great mercy ;
*
Jehovah is good to all ;
and His tender mercies are over all His works .
*
All Your works shall thank You ,
O Jehovah ;
and Your saints shall bless You .
*
They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom ,
and talk of Your might ;
*
to make Your might known to the sons of men ;
yea ,
the glorious majesty of His kingdom .
*
Your kingdom is a kingdom to all eternities ;
and Your rule in all ,
generation and generation .
*
Jehovah upholds all who fall ,
and raises up all who are bowed down .
*
The eyes of all hope to You ;
and You give them their food in due time .
*
You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing .
*
Jehovah is righteous in all His ways ,
and kind in all His works .
*
Jehovah is near to all who call on Him ,
to all those who call on Him in truth .
*
He will fulfill the desire of the ones who fear Him ;
and He will hear their cry and save them .
*
Jehovah watches over all who love Him ;
but He destroys all the wicked .
*
My mouth shall speak the praise of Jehovah ;
and all flesh shall bless His holy name forever and ever .
*
Praise Jehovah ;
praise Jehovah ,
O my soul .
*
While I live I will praise Jehovah ;
I will sing praises to my God while I have being .
*
Put not your trust in princes ,
in a son of man ,
for there is no salvation in him .
*
His breath will go out ,
he returns to the earth ;
his thoughts perish in that day .
*
Blessed is he who has the God of Jacob in his help ;
his hope is on Jehovah his God ;
*
who made the heavens and the earth ,
the seas and all that is in them ;
who keeps truth forever ;
*
who executes judgment for the oppressed ;
who gives food to the hungry ;
Jehovah sets free the prisoners ;
*
Jehovah opens the eyes of the blind ;
Jehovah raises those bowed down ;
Jehovah loves the righteous ;
*
Jehovah watches over the strangers ;
He relieves the orphan and the widow ,
but He warps the way of the wicked .
*
Jehovah shall reign forever ;
O Zion ,
your God from generation and generation .
Praise Jehovah .
*
Praise Jehovah ;
for it is good to sing praise to our God ;
because praise is delightful and becoming .
*
Jehovah builds up Jerusalem ;
He gathers the outcasts of Israel .
*
He heals the broken-hearted and binds up their sorrows .
*
He appoints the number of the stars ;
He calls to them all by names .
*
Our Lord is great and of great might ;
there is no limit to His understanding .
*
Jehovah relieves the meek ;
He throws the wicked down to the ground .
*
Sing to Jehovah with thanksgiving ;
sing praise on the lyre to our God ,
*
who covers the heavens with clouds ;
who prepares rain for the earth ;
who makes grass to grow on the mountains .
*
He gives the animals their food ,
to the young ravens that cry .
*
He takes no delight in the strength of the horse ,
nor any pleasure in the legs of a man .
*
Jehovah takes pleasure in those who fear Him ,
those who hope in His mercy .
*
Praise Jehovah ,
O Jerusalem ;
praise your God ,
O Zion .
*
For He has made strong the bars of your gates ;
He has blessed your sons within you .
*
He makes peace in your border ,
He satisfies you with the fat of the wheat .
*
He sends His command out on the earth ;
His word runs very swiftly ;
*
He gives snow like wool ;
He scatters the white frost like ashes ;
*
He casts out His ice like crumbs ;
who can stand before His cold ?
*
He sends out His word and melts them ;
He causes His wind to blow ,
and the waters flow .
*
He declares His word to Jacob ,
His statutes and His judgments to Israel .
*
He has not done so with any nation ;
and they have not known His judgments .
Praise Jehovah !
*
Praise Jehovah !
Praise Jehovah from the heavens ;
praise Him in the heights .
*
Praise Him ,
all His angels ;
praise Him ,
all His hosts .
*
Praise Him ,
sun and moon ;
praise Him ,
all you stars of light .
*
Praise Him ,
O heavens of heavens ;
and O waters that are above the heavens .
*
Let them praise the name of Jehovah ;
for He commanded ,
and they were created .
*
And He established them forever and ever ;
He gave a decree that they not pass away .
*
Let the sea-monsters and all deeps praise Jehovah from the earth ,
*
fire and hail ,
snow and smoke ,
stormy wind fulfilling His word ,
*
mountains and all hills ,
fruitful trees and all cedars ,
*
beasts and all livestock ,
creeping things and birds of the wing ,
*
kings of the earth and all people ,
princes and all judges of the earth ,
*
young men and virgins too ,
old men and youths .
*
Let them praise the name of Jehovah ;
for His name alone is exalted ;
His glory is above the earth and heavens .
*
He also lifts up the horn of His people ,
the praise of all His saints ,
of the sons of Israel ,
a people near to Him ,
Praise Jehovah .
*
Praise Jehovah !
Sing to Jehovah a new song ,
His praise in the assembly of the saints .
*
Let Israel rejoice in His Makers ;
let the sons of Zion be joyful in their Kings .
*
Let them praise His name in the dance ;
let them sing praise to Him with the timbrel and lyre .
*
For Jehovah takes pleasure in His people ;
He beautifies the meek with salvation .
*
Let the saints be joyful in glory ;
let them sing aloud on their beds .
*
Let the exaltation of God be in their throat ,
and a two-edged sword in their hand ,
*
to execute vengeance on the nations ,
punishment on the peoples ;
*
to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with iron bands ;
*
to execute on them the judgment written ;
this is an honor for all His saints .
Praise Jehovah !
*
Praise Jehovah !
Praise God in His holy place ;
praise Him in the expanse of His might .
*
Praise Him in His mighty acts ;
praise Him according to His excellent greatness .
*
Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet ;
praise Him with the harp and lyre .
*
Praise Him with the timbrel and dance ;
praise Him with strings and pipes .
*
Praise Him on the sounding cymbals ;
praise Him with the resounding cymbals .
*
Let everything that breathes praise Jehovah .
Praise Jehovah !
*
Even David himself said in the Book of Psalms , "
The Lord said to my Lord ,
Sit at My right hand
*
And He said to them ,
These are the words which I spoke to you yet being with you ,
that must be fulfilled all the things having been written in the Law of Moses ,
and the Prophets ,
and the Psalms ,
concerning Me .
*
For it has been written in the scroll of Psalms ,
Let his estate become forsaken ,
and he not be living in it .
And , "
Let another take his overseership ."
