Psalms:90-106
Seeker Overlay ON
* {
A Prayer of Moses ,
the man of God .}
Lord ,
thou hast been our dwelling-place in all generations .
*
Before the mountains were brought forth ,
and thou hadst formed the earth and the world ,
even from eternity to eternity thou art �
God .
*
Thou makest [
mortal ]
man to return to dust ,
and sayest ,
Return ,
children of men .
*
For a thousand years ,
in thy sight ,
are as yesterday when it is past ,
and [
as ]
a watch in the night .
*
Thou carriest them away as with a flood ;
they are [
as ]
a sleep :
in the morning they are like grass [
that ]
groweth up :
*
In the morning it flourisheth and groweth up ;
in the evening it is cut down and withereth .
*
For we are consumed by thine anger ,
and by thy fury are we troubled .
*
Thou hast set our iniquities before thee ,
our secret [
sins ]
in the light of thy countenance .
*
For all our days pass away in thy wrath :
we spend our years as a [
passing ]
thought .
*
The days of our years are threescore years and ten ;
and if ,
by reason of strength ,
they be fourscore years ,
yet their pride is labour and vanity ,
for it is soon cut off ,
and we fly away .
*
Who knoweth the power of thine anger ?
and thy wrath according to the fear of thee ?
*
So teach [
us ]
to number our days ,
that we may acquire a wise heart .
*
Return ,
Jehovah :
how long ?
and let it repent thee concerning thy servants .
*
Satisfy us early with thy loving-kindness ;
that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days .
*
Make us glad according to the days [
wherein ]
thou hast afflicted us ,
according to the years [
wherein ]
we have seen evil .
*
Let thy work appear unto thy servants ,
and thy majesty unto their sons .
*
And let the beauty of Jehovah our God be upon us ;
and establish thou the work of our hands upon us :
yea ,
the work of our hands ,
establish thou it .
*
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty .
*
I say of Jehovah ,
My refuge and my fortress ;
my God ,
I will confide in him .
*
Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler , [
and ]
from the destructive pestilence .
*
He shall cover thee with his feathers ,
and under his wings shalt thou find refuge :
his truth is a shield and buckler .
*
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night ,
for the arrow that flieth by day ,
*
For the pestilence that walketh in darkness ,
for the destruction that wasteth at noonday .
*
A thousand shall fall at thy side ,
and ten thousand at thy right hand ; [
but ]
it shall not come nigh thee .
*
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold ,
and see the reward of the wicked .
*
Because thou hast made Jehovah ,
my refuge ,
the Most High ,
thy dwelling-place ,
*
There shall no evil befall thee ,
neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent .
*
For he shall give his angels charge concerning thee ,
to keep thee in all thy ways :
*
They shall bear thee up in [
their ]
hands ,
lest thou dash thy foot against a stone .
*
Thou shalt tread upon the lion and the adder ;
the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under foot .
*
Because he hath set his love upon me ,
therefore will I deliver him ;
I will set him on high ,
because he hath known my name .
*
He shall call upon me ,
and I will answer him ;
I will be with him in trouble ,
I will deliver him and honour him .
*
With length of days will I satisfy him ,
and shew him my salvation .
* {
A Psalm ,
a Song ,
for the Sabbath day .}
It is good to give thanks unto Jehovah ,
and to sing psalms unto thy name ,
O Most High ;
*
To declare thy loving-kindness in the morning ,
and thy faithfulness in the nights ,
*
Upon an instrument of ten strings and upon the lute ;
upon the Higgaion with the harp .
*
For thou ,
Jehovah ,
hast made me glad through thy work ;
I will triumph in the works of thy hands .
*
Jehovah ,
how great are thy works !
Thy thoughts are very deep :
*
A brutish man knoweth not ,
neither doth a fool understand it .
*
When the wicked spring as the grass ,
and when all the workers of iniquity flourish ,
it is that they may be destroyed for ever .
*
And thou ,
Jehovah ,
art on high for evermore .
*
For lo ,
thine enemies ,
O Jehovah ,
for lo ,
thine enemies shall perish ;
all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered .
*
But my horn shalt thou exalt like a buffalo '
s :
I shall be anointed with fresh oil .
*
And mine eye shall see [
its desire ]
on mine enemies ;
mine ears shall hear [
it ]
of the evil-doers that rise up against me .
*
The righteous shall shoot forth like a palm-tree ;
he shall grow like a cedar on Lebanon .
*
Those that are planted in the house of Jehovah shall flourish in the courts of our God :
*
They are still vigorous in old age ,
they are full of sap and green ;
*
To shew that Jehovah is upright : [
he is ]
my rock ,
and there is no unrighteousness in him .
*
Jehovah reigneth ,
he hath clothed himself with majesty :
Jehovah hath clothed himself ,
he hath girded himself with strength ;
yea ,
the world is established ,
it shall not be moved .
*
Thy throne is established of old ;
thou art from eternity .
*
The floods lifted up ,
O Jehovah ,
the floods lifted up their voice ;
the floods lifted up their roaring waves .
*
Jehovah on high is mightier than the voices of many waters ,
than the mighty breakers of the sea .
*
Thy testimonies are very sure :
holiness becometh thy house ,
O Jehovah ,
for ever .
*
O �
God of vengeances ,
Jehovah , �
God of vengeances ,
shine forth ;
*
Lift up thyself ,
thou judge of the earth ,
render the reward to the proud .
*
How long shall the wicked ,
O Jehovah ,
how long shall the wicked triumph ?
* [
How long ]
shall they utter [
and ]
speak insolence --
all the workers of iniquity boast themselves ?
*
They crush thy people ,
O Jehovah ,
and afflict thine inheritance ;
*
They slay the widow and the stranger ,
and murder the fatherless ,
*
And say ,
Jah will not see ,
neither will the God of Jacob regard [
it ].
*
Understand ,
ye brutish among the people ;
and ye fools ,
when will ye be wise ?
*
He that planted the ear ,
shall he not hear ?
He that formed the eye ,
shall he not see ?
*
He that instructeth the nations ,
shall not he correct --
he that teacheth man knowledge ?
*
Jehovah knoweth the thoughts of man ,
that they are vanity .
*
Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest ,
O Jah ,
and whom thou teachest out of thy law ;
*
That thou mayest give him rest from the days of evil ,
until the pit be digged for the wicked .
*
For Jehovah will not cast off his people ,
neither will he forsake his inheritance ;
*
For judgment shall return unto righteousness ,
and all the upright in heart shall follow it .
*
Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers ?
who will stand for me against the workers of iniquity ?
*
If Jehovah had not been my help ,
my soul had almost dwelt in silence .
*
When I said ,
My foot slippeth ,
thy loving-kindness ,
O Jehovah ,
held me up .
*
In the multitude of my anxious thoughts within me thy comforts have delighted my soul .
*
Shall the throne of wickedness be united to thee ,
which frameth mischief into a law ?
*
They band together against the soul of the righteous ,
and condemn innocent blood .
*
But Jehovah will be my high tower ;
and my God the rock of my refuge .
*
And he will bring upon them their iniquity ,
and will cut them off in their own evil :
Jehovah our God will cut them off .
*
Come ,
let us sing aloud to Jehovah ,
let us shout for joy to the rock of our salvation ;
*
Let us come before his face with thanksgiving ;
let us shout aloud unto him with psalms .
*
For Jehovah is a great �
God ,
and a great king above all gods .
*
In his hand are the deep places of the earth ;
the heights of the mountains are his also :
*
The sea is his ,
and he made it ,
and his hands formed the dry [
land ].
*
Come ,
let us worship and bow down ;
let us kneel before Jehovah 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 hear his voice ,
*
Harden not your heart ,
as at Meribah ,
as [
in ]
the day of Massah ,
in the wilderness ;
*
When your fathers tempted me ,
proved me ,
and saw my work .
*
Forty years was I grieved with the generation ,
and said ,
It is a people that do err in their heart ,
and they have not known my ways ;
*
So that I swore in mine anger ,
that they should not enter into my rest .
*
Sing ye unto Jehovah a new song :
sing unto Jehovah ,
all the earth .
*
Sing unto Jehovah ,
bless his name ;
publish his salvation from day to day .
*
Declare his glory among the nations ,
his wondrous works among all the peoples .
*
For Jehovah is great and exceedingly to be praised ;
he is terrible above all gods .
*
For all the gods of the peoples are idols ;
but Jehovah made the heavens .
*
Majesty and splendour are before him ;
strength and beauty are in his sanctuary .
*
Give unto Jehovah ,
ye families of peoples ,
give unto Jehovah glory and strength ;
*
Give unto Jehovah the glory of his name ;
bring an oblation and come into his courts ;
*
Worship Jehovah in holy splendour ;
tremble before him ,
all the earth .
*
Say among the nations ,
Jehovah reigneth !
yea ,
the world is established ,
it shall not be moved ;
he will execute judgment upon the peoples with equity .
*
Let the heavens rejoice ,
and let the earth be glad ;
let the sea roar ,
and the fulness thereof ;
*
Let the field exult and all that is therein .
Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy ,
*
Before Jehovah ,
for he cometh ;
for he cometh to judge the earth :
he will judge the world with righteousness ,
and the peoples in his faithfulness .
*
Jehovah reigneth :
let the earth be glad ,
let the many isles rejoice .
*
Clouds and darkness are round about him ;
righteousness and judgment are the foundation of his throne .
*
A fire goeth before him ,
and burneth up his adversaries round about .
*
His lightnings lightened the world :
the earth saw ,
and trembled .
*
The mountains melted like wax at the presence of Jehovah ,
at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth .
*
The heavens declare his righteousness ,
and all the peoples see his glory .
*
Ashamed be all they that serve graven images ,
that boast themselves of idols .
Worship him ,
all ye gods .
*
Zion heard ,
and rejoiced ;
and the daughters of Judah were glad ,
because of thy judgments ,
O Jehovah .
*
For thou ,
Jehovah ,
art the Most High above all the earth ;
thou art exalted exceedingly above all gods .
*
Ye that love Jehovah ,
hate evil :
he preserveth the souls of his saints ,
he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked .
*
Light is sown for the righteous ,
and joy for the upright in heart .
*
Rejoice in Jehovah ,
ye righteous ;
and give thanks in remembrance of his holiness .
* {
A Psalm .}
Sing ye unto Jehovah a new song :
for he hath done wondrous things ;
his right hand and his holy arm hath wrought salvation for him .
*
Jehovah hath made known his salvation :
his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the nations .
*
He hath remembered his loving-kindness and his faithfulness toward the house of Israel :
all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God .
*
Shout aloud unto Jehovah ,
all the earth ;
break forth and shout for joy ,
and sing psalms .
*
Sing psalms unto Jehovah with the harp :
with the harp ,
and the voice of a song ;
*
With trumpets and sound of cornet ,
make a joyful noise before the King ,
Jehovah .
*
Let the sea roar ,
and the fulness thereof ;
the world ,
and they that dwell therein ;
*
Let the floods clap [
their ]
hands ;
let the mountains sing for joy together ,
*
Before Jehovah ,
for he cometh to judge the earth :
he will judge the world with righteousness ,
and the peoples with equity .
*
Jehovah reigneth :
let the peoples tremble .
He sitteth [
between the ]
cherubim :
let the earth be moved .
*
Jehovah is great in Zion ,
and he is high above all the peoples .
*
They shall praise thy great and terrible name , --
it is holy ! --
*
And the strength of the king that loveth justice .
Thou hast established equity :
it is thou that executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob .
*
Exalt Jehovah our God ,
and worship at his footstool .
He is holy !
*
Moses and Aaron among his priests ,
and Samuel among them that call upon his name :
they called unto Jehovah ,
and he answered them .
*
He spoke unto them in the pillar of cloud :
they kept his testimonies ,
and the statute that he gave them .
*
Jehovah ,
our God ,
thou answeredst them :
a forgiving �
God wast thou unto them ,
though thou tookest vengeance of their doings .
*
Exalt Jehovah our God ,
and worship at the hill of his holiness ;
for holy is Jehovah our God .
* {
A Psalm of thanksgiving .}
Shout aloud unto Jehovah ,
all the earth !
*
Serve Jehovah with joy :
come before his presence with exultation .
*
Know that Jehovah is God :
it is he that hath made us ,
and not we ourselves ; [
we are ]
his people ,
and the sheep of his pasture .
*
Enter into his gates with thanksgiving [
and ]
into his courts with praise ;
give thanks unto him ,
bless his name :
*
For Jehovah is good ;
his loving-kindness [
endureth ]
for ever ;
and his faithfulness from generation to generation .
* {
A Psalm of David .}
I will sing of loving-kindness and judgment :
unto thee ,
Jehovah ,
will I sing psalms .
*
I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way .
When wilt thou come unto me ?
I will walk within my house in the integrity of my heart .
*
I will set no thing of Belial before mine eyes :
I hate the work of them that turn aside ;
it shall not cleave to me .
*
A perverse heart shall depart from me ;
I will not know evil .
*
Whoso secretly slandereth his neighbour ,
him will I destroy ;
him that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not suffer .
*
Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land ,
that they may dwell with me ;
he that walketh in a perfect way ,
he shall serve me .
*
He that practiseth deceit shall not dwell within my house ;
he that speaketh falsehoods shall not subsist in my sight .
*
Every morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land :
to cut off all workers of iniquity from the city of Jehovah .
* {
A Prayer of the afflicted ,
when he is overwhelmed ,
and poureth out his complaint before Jehovah .}
Jehovah ,
hear my prayer ,
and let my cry come unto thee .
*
Hide not thy face from me :
in the day of my trouble ,
incline thine ear unto me ;
in the day I call ,
answer me speedily .
*
For my days are consumed like smoke ,
and my bones are burned as a firebrand .
*
My heart is smitten and withered like grass ;
yea ,
I have forgotten to eat my bread .
*
By reason of the voice of my groaning ,
my bones cleave to my flesh .
*
I am become like the pelican of the wilderness ,
I am as an owl in desolate places ;
*
I watch ,
and am like a sparrow alone upon the housetop .
*
Mine enemies reproach me all the day ;
they that are mad against me swear by me .
*
For I have eaten ashes like bread ,
and mingled my drink with weeping ,
*
Because of thine indignation and thy wrath ;
for thou hast lifted me up ,
and cast me down .
*
My days are like a lengthened-out shadow ,
and I ,
I am withered like grass .
*
But thou ,
Jehovah ,
abidest for ever ,
and thy memorial from generation to generation .
*
Thou wilt rise up ,
thou wilt have mercy upon Zion :
for it is the time to be gracious to her ,
for the set time is come .
*
For thy servants take pleasure in her stones ,
and favour her dust .
*
And the nations shall fear the name of Jehovah ,
and all the kings of the earth thy glory .
*
When Jehovah shall build up Zion ,
he will appear in his glory .
*
He will regard the prayer of the destitute one ,
and not despise their prayer .
*
This shall be written for the generation to come ;
and a people that shall be created shall praise Jah :
*
For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary ;
from the heavens hath Jehovah beheld the earth ,
*
To hear the groaning of the prisoner ,
to loose those that are appointed to die ;
*
That the name of Jehovah may be declared in Zion ,
and his praise in Jerusalem ,
*
When the peoples shall be gathered together ,
and the kingdoms ,
to serve Jehovah .
*
He weakened my strength in the way ,
he shortened my days .
*
I said ,
My �
God ,
take me not away in the midst of my days !...
Thy years are from generation to generation .
*
Of old hast thou founded the earth ,
and the heavens are the work of thy hands :
*
They shall perish ,
but thou continuest ;
and all of them shall grow old as a garment :
as a vesture shalt thou change them ,
and they shall be changed .
*
But thou art the Same ,
and thy years shall have no end .
*
The children of thy servants shall abide ,
and their seed shall be established before thee .
* {[
A Psalm ]
of David .}
Bless Jehovah ,
O my soul ;
and all that is within me , [
bless ]
his holy name !
*
Bless Jehovah ,
O my soul ,
and forget not all his benefits :
*
Who forgiveth all thine iniquities ,
who healeth all thy diseases ;
*
Who redeemeth thy life from the pit ,
who crowneth thee with loving-kindness and tender mercies ;
*
Who satisfieth thine old age with good [
things ];
thy youth is renewed like the eagle '
s .
*
Jehovah executeth righteousness and justice for all that are oppressed .
*
He made known his ways unto Moses ,
his acts unto the children of Israel .
*
Jehovah is merciful and gracious ,
slow to anger ,
and abundant in loving-kindness .
*
He will not always chide ,
neither will he keep [
his anger ]
for ever .
*
He hath not dealt with us according to our sins ,
nor rewarded us according to our iniquities .
*
For as the heavens are high above the earth ,
so great is his loving-kindness toward them that fear him .
*
As far as the east is from the west ,
so far hath he removed our transgressions from us .
*
As a father pitieth [
his ]
children ,
so Jehovah pitieth them that fear him .
*
For himself 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 :
*
For the wind passeth over it ,
and it is gone ,
and the place thereof knoweth it no more .
*
But the loving-kindness of Jehovah is from everlasting and 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 precepts to do them .
*
Jehovah hath established his throne in the heavens ,
and his kingdom ruleth over all .
*
Bless Jehovah ,
ye his angels ,
mighty in strength ,
that execute his word ,
hearkening unto the voice of his word .
*
Bless Jehovah ,
all ye his hosts ;
ye ministers of his that do his will .
*
Bless Jehovah ,
all his works ,
in all places of his dominion .
Bless Jehovah ,
O my soul !
*
Bless Jehovah ,
O my soul !
Jehovah my God ,
thou art very great ;
thou art clothed with majesty and splendour ;
*
Covering thyself with light as with a garment ,
stretching out the heavens like a tent-curtain ; --
*
Who layeth the beams of his upper chambers in the waters ,
who maketh clouds his chariot ,
who walketh upon the wings of the wind ;
*
Who maketh his angels spirits ;
his ministers a flame of fire .
*
He laid the earth upon its foundations :
it shall not be removed for ever .
*
Thou hadst covered it with the deep ,
as with a vesture ;
the waters stood above the mountains :
*
At thy rebuke they fled ,
at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away ; --
*
The mountains rose ,
the valleys sank ,
unto the place which thou hadst founded for them ; --
*
Thou hast set a bound which they may not pass over ,
that they turn not again to cover the earth .
*
He sendeth the springs into the valleys :
they run among the mountains ;
*
They give drink to every beast of the field ;
the wild asses quench their thirst .
*
The birds of heaven dwell by them ;
they give forth their voice from among the branches .
*
He watereth the mountains from his upper-chambers :
the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works .
*
He maketh the grass to grow for the cattle ,
and herb for the service of man ;
bringing forth bread out of the earth ,
*
And wine which gladdeneth the heart of man ;
making [
his ]
face shine with oil ;
and with bread he strengtheneth man '
s heart .
*
The trees of Jehovah are satisfied ,
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 mountains are for the wild goats ;
the cliffs ,
a refuge for the rock-badgers .
*
He made the moon for seasons :
the sun knoweth its going down .
*
Thou makest darkness ,
and it is night ,
wherein all the beasts of the forest creep forth :
*
The young lions roar after the prey ,
and to seek their food from �
God .
*
The sun ariseth ,
they retreat ,
and lay them down in their dens .
*
Man goeth forth unto his work ,
and to his labour until the evening .
*
How manifold are thy works ,
O Jehovah !
in wisdom hast thou made them all :
the earth is full of thy riches .
*
Yonder is the great and wide sea :
therein are moving things innumerable ,
living creatures small and great .
*
There go the ships ; [
there ]
that leviathan ,
which thou hast formed to play therein .
*
These all look unto thee ,
that thou mayest give their food in its season :
*
That thou givest unto them ,
they gather ;
thou openest thy hand ,
they are filled with good .
*
Thou hidest thy face ,
they are troubled ;
thou takest away their breath ,
they expire and return to their dust .
*
Thou sendest forth thy spirit ,
they are created ,
and thou renewest the face of the earth .
*
The glory of Jehovah will endure for ever ;
Jehovah will rejoice in his works .
*
He looketh on the earth ,
and it trembleth ;
he toucheth the mountains ,
and they smoke .
*
I will sing unto Jehovah as long as I live ;
I will sing psalms to my God while I have my being .
*
My meditation shall be pleasant unto him ;
I will rejoice in Jehovah .
*
Sinners shall be consumed out of the earth ,
and the wicked shall be no more .
Bless Jehovah ,
O my soul .
Hallelujah !
*
Give ye thanks unto Jehovah ,
call upon his name ;
make known his acts among the peoples .
*
Sing unto him ,
sing psalms unto him ;
meditate upon all his wondrous works .
*
Glory ye in his holy name :
let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah .
*
Seek Jehovah and his strength ,
seek his face continually ;
*
Remember his wondrous works which he hath done ,
his miracles and the judgments of his mouth :
*
Ye seed of Abraham his servant ,
ye sons of Jacob ,
his chosen ones .
*
He ,
Jehovah ,
is our God ;
his judgments are in all the earth .
*
He is ever mindful of his covenant , --
the word which he commanded to a thousand generations , --
*
Which he made with Abraham ,
and of his oath unto Isaac ;
*
And he confirmed it unto Jacob for a statute ,
unto Israel for an everlasting covenant ,
*
Saying ,
Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan ,
the lot of your inheritance ;
*
When they were a few men in number ,
of small account ,
and strangers in it .
*
And they went from nation to nation ,
from one kingdom to another people .
*
He suffered no man to oppress them ,
and reproved kings for their sakes ,
* [
Saying ,]
Touch not mine anointed ones ,
and do my prophets no harm .
*
And he called for a famine upon the land ;
he broke the whole staff of bread .
*
He sent a man before them :
Joseph was sold for a bondman .
*
They afflicted his feet with fetters ;
his soul came into irons ;
*
Until the time when what he said came about :
the word of Jehovah tried him .
*
The king sent and loosed him --
the ruler of peoples --
and let him go free .
*
He made him lord of his house ,
and ruler over all his possessions :
*
To bind his princes at his pleasure ,
and teach his elders wisdom .
*
And Israel came into Egypt ,
and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham .
*
And he made his people exceeding fruitful ,
and made them mightier than their oppressors .
*
He turned their heart to hate his people ,
to deal subtilly with his servants .
*
He sent Moses his servant , [
and ]
Aaron whom he had chosen :
*
They set his signs among them ,
and miracles in the land of Ham .
*
He sent darkness ,
and made it dark ;
and they rebelled not against his word .
*
He turned their waters into blood ,
and caused their fish to die .
*
Their land swarmed with frogs , --
in the chambers of their kings .
*
He spoke ,
and there came dog-flies , [
and ]
gnats in all their borders .
*
He gave them hail for rain , [
and ]
flaming fire in their land ;
*
And he smote their vines and their fig-trees ,
and broke the trees of their borders .
*
He spoke ,
and the locust came ,
and the cankerworm ,
even without number ;
*
And they devoured every herb in their land ,
and ate up the fruit of their ground .
*
And he smote every firstborn in their land ,
the firstfruits of all their vigour .
*
And he brought them forth with silver and gold ;
and there was not one feeble among their tribes .
*
Egypt rejoiced at their departure ;
for the fear of them had fallen upon them .
*
He spread a cloud for a covering ,
and fire to give light in the night .
*
They asked ,
and he brought quails ,
and satisfied them with the bread of heaven .
*
He opened the rock ,
and waters gushed forth ;
they ran in the dry places [
like ]
a river .
*
For he remembered his holy word , [
and ]
Abraham his servant ;
*
And he brought forth his people with gladness ,
his chosen with rejoicing ;
*
And he gave them the lands of the nations ,
and they took possession of the labour of the peoples :
*
That they might keep his statutes ,
and observe his laws .
Hallelujah !
*
Hallelujah !
Give ye thanks unto Jehovah ;
for he is good ;
for his loving-kindness [
endureth ]
for ever .
*
Who can utter the mighty acts of Jehovah ? [
who ]
can shew forth all his praise ?
*
Blessed are they that keep justice , [
and ]
he that doeth righteousness at all times .
*
Remember me ,
O Jehovah ,
with [
thy ]
favour toward thy people ;
visit me with thy salvation :
*
That I may see the prosperity of thy chosen ones ,
that I may rejoice in the joy of thy nation ,
that I may glory with thine inheritance .
*
We have sinned with our fathers ,
we have committed iniquity ,
we have done wickedly .
*
Our fathers in Egypt considered not thy wondrous works ;
they remembered not the multitude of thy loving-kindnesses ;
but they rebelled at the sea ,
at the Red Sea .
*
Yet he saved them for his name '
s sake ,
that he might make known his might .
*
And he rebuked the Red Sea ,
and it dried up ;
and he led them through the deeps as through a wilderness .
*
And he saved them from the hand of him that hated [
them ],
and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy .
*
And the waters covered their oppressors :
there was not one of them left .
*
Then believed they his words ;
they sang his praise .
*
They soon forgot his works ;
they waited not for his counsel :
*
And they lusted exceedingly in the wilderness ,
and tempted �
God in the desert .
*
Then he gave them their request ,
but sent leanness into their soul .
*
And they envied Moses in the camp , [
and ]
Aaron ,
the saint of Jehovah .
*
The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan ,
and covered the company of Abiram ;
*
And fire was kindled in their company ;
a flame burned up the wicked .
*
They made a calf in Horeb ,
and did homage to a molten image ;
*
And they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass .
*
They forgot �
God their Saviour ,
who had done great things in Egypt ,
*
Wondrous works in the land of Ham ,
terrible things by the Red Sea .
*
And he said that he would destroy them ,
had not Moses ,
his chosen ,
stood before him in the breach ,
to turn away his fury ,
lest he should destroy [
them ].
*
And they despised the pleasant land ;
they believed not his word ,
*
But murmured in their tents :
they hearkened not unto the voice of Jehovah .
*
And he lifted up his hand to them ,
that he would make them fall in the wilderness ;
*
And that he would make their seed fall among the nations ,
and disperse them through the countries .
*
And they joined themselves unto Baal-Peor ,
and ate the sacrifices of the dead ;
*
And they provoked [
him ]
to anger with their doings ;
and a plague broke out among them .
*
Then stood up Phinehas and executed judgment ,
and the plague was stayed ;
*
And that was reckoned unto him for righteousness ,
from generation to generation ,
for evermore .
*
And they moved him to wrath at the waters of Meribah ,
and it went ill with Moses on their account ;
*
For they provoked his spirit ,
so that he spoke unadvisedly with his lips .
*
They did not destroy the peoples ,
as Jehovah commanded them ;
*
But they mingled with the nations ,
and learned their works ;
*
And they served their idols ;
and they were a snare unto them :
*
And they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto demons ,
*
And shed innocent blood ,
the blood of their sons and of their daughters ,
whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan ;
and the land was polluted with blood .
*
And they were defiled with their works ,
and went a-whoring in their doings .
*
Then was the anger of Jehovah kindled against his people ,
and he abhorred his inheritance ;
*
And he gave them into the hand of the nations ;
and they that hated them ruled over them :
*
And their enemies oppressed them ,
and they were brought into subjection under their hand .
*
Often did he deliver them ;
but as for them they provoked [
him ]
by their counsel ,
and they were brought low by their iniquity .
*
But he regarded their distress ,
when he heard their cry ;
*
And he remembered for them his covenant ,
and repented according to the multitude of his loving-kindnesses ;
*
And he caused them to find compassion of all those that had carried them captives .
*
Save us ,
Jehovah our God ,
and gather us from among the nations ,
to give thanks unto thy holy name , [
and ]
to triumph in thy praise .
*
Blessed be Jehovah the God of Israel ,
from eternity and to eternity !
And let all the people say ,
Amen !
Hallelujah !
*
Give ye thanks unto Jehovah ;
for he is good ;
for his loving-kindness [
endureth ]
for ever .
