Psalm v1

 

1:1 How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers! v2 But his delight is in the law of יַהְוֶה, And in His law he meditates day and night. v3 And he will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, Which yields its fruit in its season, And its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does, he prospers. v4 The wicked are not so, But they are like chaff which the wind drives away. v5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. v6 For יַהְוֶה knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the wicked will perish.

 

 

Psalm v2

 

2:1 Why are the nations in an uproar, And the peoples devising a vain thing? v2 The kings of the earth take their stand, And the rulers take counsel together Against יַהְוֶה and against His Anointed: v3 "Let us tear their fetters apart, And cast away their cords from us!" v4 He who sits in the heavens laughs, The Lord scoffs at them. v5 Then He will speak to them in His anger And terrify them in His fury: v6 "But as for Me, I have installed My King Upon Zion, My holy mountain." v7 "I will surely tell of the decree of יַהְוֶה: He said to Me, 'Thou art My Son, Today I have begotten Thee. v8 'Ask of Me, and I will surely give the nations as Thine inheritance, And the very ends of the earth as Thy possession. v9 'Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron, Thou shalt shatter them like earthenware.'" v10 Now therefore, O kings, show discernment; Take warning, O judges of the earth. v11 Worship יַהְוֶה with reverence, And rejoice with trembling. v12 Do homage to the Son, lest He become angry, and you perish in the way, For His wrath may soon be kindled. How blessed are all who take refuge in Him!

 

 

Psalm v3

 

3:1 A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. O Lord, how my adversaries have increased! Many are rising up against me. v2 Many are saying of my soul, "There is no deliverance for him in the Almighty." Selah. v3 But Thou, O יַהְוֶה, art a shield about me, My glory, and the One who lifts my head. v4 I was crying to יַהְוֶה with my voice, And He answered me from His holy mountain. Selah. v5 I lay down and slept; I awoke, for יַהְוֶה sustains me. v6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people Who have set themselves against me round about. v7 Arise, O יַהְוֶה; save me, O my Almighty! For Thou hast smitten all my enemies on the cheek; Thou hast shattered the teeth of the wicked. v8 Salvation belongs to יַהְוֶה; Thy blessing be upon Thy people! Selah.

 

 

Psalm v4

 

4:1 For the choir director; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. Answer me when I call, O Almighty of my righteousness! Thou hast relieved me in my distress; Be gracious to me and hear my prayer. v2 O sons of men, how long will my honor become a reproach? How long will you love what is worthless and aim at deception? Selah. v3 But know that יַהְוֶה has set apart the godly man for Himself; יַהְוֶה hears when I call to Him. v4 Tremble, and do not sin; Meditate in your heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah. v5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, And trust in יַהְוֶה. v6 Many are saying, "Who will show us any good?" Lift up the light of Thy countenance upon us, O יַהְוֶה! v7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, More than when their grain and new wine abound. v8 In peace I will both lie down and sleep, For Thou alone, O יַהְוֶה, dost make me to dwell in safety.

 

 

Psalm v5

 

5:1 For the choir director; for flute accompaniment. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O יַהְוֶה, Consider my groaning. v2 Heed the sound of my cry for help, my King and my Almighty, For to Thee do I pray. v3 In the morning, O יַהְוֶה, Thou wilt hear my voice; In the morning I will order my prayer to Thee and eagerly watch. v4 For Thou art not an Almighty who takes pleasure in wickedness; No evil dwells with Thee. v5 The boastful shall not stand before Thine eyes; Thou dost hate all who do iniquity. v6 Thou dost destroy those who speak falsehood; יַהְוֶה abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit. v7 But as for me, by Thine abundant lovingkindness I will enter Thy house, At Thy holy temple I will bow in reverence for Thee. v8 O יַהְוֶה, lead me in Thy righteousness because of my foes; Make Thy way straight before me. v9 There is nothing reliable in what they say; Their inward part is destruction itself; Their throat is an open grave; They flatter with their tongue. v10 Hold them guilty, O Almighty; By their own devices let them fall! In the multitude of their transgressions thrust them out, For they are rebellious against Thee. v11 But let all who take refuge in Thee be glad, Let them ever sing for joy; And mayest Thou shelter them, That those who love Thy name may exult in Thee. v12 For it is Thou who dost bless the righteous man, O יַהְוֶה, Thou dost surround him with favor as with a shield.

 

 

Psalm v6

 

6:1 For the choir director; with stringed instruments, upon an eight-string lyre. A Psalm of David. O Lord, do not rebuke me in Thine anger, Nor chasten me in Thy wrath. v2 Be gracious to me, O יַהְוֶה, for I am pining away; Heal me, O יַהְוֶה, for my bones are dismayed. v3 And my soul is greatly dismayed; But Thou, O יַהְוֶה-- how long? v4 Return, O יַהְוֶה, rescue my soul; Save me because of Thy lovingkindness. v5 For there is no mention of Thee in death; In Sheol who will give Thee thanks? v6 I am weary with my sighing; Every night I make my bed swim, I dissolve my couch with my tears. v7 My eye has wasted away with grief; It has become old because of all my adversaries. v8 Depart from me, all you who do iniquity, For יַהְוֶה has heard the voice of my weeping. v9 יַהְוֶה has heard my supplication, יַהְוֶה receives my prayer. v10 All my enemies shall be ashamed and greatly dismayed; They shall turn back, they shall suddenly be ashamed.

 

 

Psalm v7

 

7:1 A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to יַהְוֶה concerning Cush, a Benjamite. O Lord my Almighty, in Thee I have taken refuge; Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me, v2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, Dragging me away, while there is none to deliver. v3 O יַהְוֶה my Almighty, if I have done this, If there is injustice in my hands, v4 If I have rewarded evil to my friend, Or have plundered him who without cause was my adversary, v5 Let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake it; And let him trample my life down to the ground, And lay my glory in the dust. Selah. v6 Arise, O יַהְוֶה, in Thine anger; Lift up Thyself against the rage of my adversaries, And arouse Thyself for me; Thou hast appointed judgment. v7 And let the assembly of the peoples encompass Thee; And over them return Thou on high. v8 יַהְוֶה judges the peoples; Vindicate me, O יַהְוֶה, according to my righteousness and my integrity that is in me. v9 O let the evil of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous; For the righteous Almighty tries the hearts and minds. v10 My shield is with the Almighty, Who saves the upright in heart. v11 The Almighty is a righteous judge, And an Almighty who has indignation every day. v12 If a man does not repent, He will sharpen His sword; He has bent His bow and made it ready. v13 He has also prepared for Himself deadly weapons; He makes His arrows fiery shafts. v14 Behold, he travails with wickedness, And he conceives mischief, and brings forth falsehood. v15 He has dug a pit and hollowed it out, And has fallen into the hole which he made. v16 His mischief will return upon his own head, And his violence will descend upon his own pate. v17 I will give thanks to יַהְוֶה according to His righteousness, And will sing praise to the name of יַהְוֶה Most High.

 

 

Psalm v8

 

8:1 For the choir director; on the Gittith. A Psalm of David. O Lord, our Lord, How majestic is Thy name in all the earth, Who hast displayed Thy splendor above the heavens! v2 From the mouth of infants and nursing babes Thou hast established strength, Because of Thine adversaries, To make the enemy and the revengeful cease. v3 When I consider Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers, The moon and the stars, which Thou hast ordained; v4 What is man, that Thou dost take thought of him? And the son of man, that Thou dost care for him? v5 Yet Thou hast made him a little lower than the Almighty, And dost crown him with glory and majesty! v6 Thou dost make him to rule over the works of Thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet, v7 All sheep and oxen, And also the beasts of the field, v8 The birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, Whatever passes through the paths of the seas. v9 O יַהְוֶה, our Lord, How majestic is Thy name in all the earth!

 

 

Psalm v9

 

9:1 For the choir director; on Muth-labben. A Psalm of David. I Will give thanks to יַהְוֶה with all my heart; I will tell of all Thy wonders. v2 I will be glad and exult in Thee; I will sing praise to Thy name, O Most High. v3 When my enemies turn back, They stumble and perish before Thee. v4 For Thou hast maintained my just cause; Thou dost sit on the throne judging righteously. v5 Thou hast rebuked the nations; Thou hast destroyed the wicked; Thou hast blotted out their name forever and ever. v6 The enemy has come to an end in perpetual ruins, And Thou hast uprooted the cities; The very memory of them has perished. v7 But יַהְוֶה abides forever; He has established His throne for judgment, v8 And He will judge the world in righteousness; He will execute judgment for the peoples with equity. v9 יַהְוֶה also will be a stronghold for the oppressed, A stronghold in times of trouble, v10 And those who know Thy name will put their trust in Thee; For Thou, O יַהְוֶה, hast not forsaken those who seek Thee. v11 Sing praises to יַהְוֶה, who dwells in Zion; Declare among the peoples His deeds. v12 For He who requires blood remembers them; He does not forget the cry of the afflicted. v13 Be gracious to me, O יַהְוֶה; Behold my affliction from those who hate me, Thou who dost lift me up from the gates of death; v14 That I may tell of all Thy praises, That in the gates of the daughter of Zion I may rejoice in Thy salvation. v15 The nations have sunk down in the pit which they have made; In the net which they hid, their own foot has been caught. v16 יַהְוֶה has made Himself known; He has executed judgment. In the work of his own hands the wicked is snared. Higgaion Selah. v17 The wicked will return to Sheol, Even all the nations who forget the Almighty. v18 For the needy will not always be forgotten, Nor the hope of the afflicted perish forever. v19 Arise, O יַהְוֶה, do not let man prevail; Let the nations be judged before Thee. v20 Put them in fear, O יַהְוֶה; Let the nations know that they are but men. Selah.

 

 

Psalm v10

 

10:1 Why dost Thou stand afar off, O יַהְוֶה? Why dost Thou hide Thyself in times of trouble? v2 In pride the wicked hotly pursue the afflicted; Let them be caught in the plots which they have devised. v3 For the wicked boasts of his heart's desire, And the greedy man curses and spurns יַהְוֶה. v4 The wicked, in the haughtiness of his countenance, does not seek Him. All his thoughts are, "There is no Almighty." v5 His ways prosper at all times; Thy judgments are on high, out of his sight; As for all his adversaries, he snorts at them. v6 He says to himself, "I shall not be moved; Throughout all generations I shall not be in adversity." v7 His mouth is full of curses and deceit and oppression; Under his tongue is mischief and wickedness. v8 He sits in the lurking places of the villages; In the hiding places he kills the innocent; His eyes stealthily watch for the unfortunate. v9 He lurks in a hiding place as a lion in his lair; He lurks to catch the afflicted; He catches the afflicted when he draws him into his net. v10 He crouches, he bows down, And the unfortunate fall by his mighty ones. v11 He says to himself, "The Almighty has forgotten; He has hidden His face; He will never see it." v12 Arise, O יַהְוֶה; O Almighty, lift up Thy hand. Do not forget the afflicted. v13 Why has the wicked spurned the Almighty? He has said to himself, "Thou wilt not require it." v14 Thou hast seen it, for Thou hast beheld mischief and vexation to take it into Thy hand. The unfortunate commits himself to Thee; Thou hast been the helper of the orphan. v15 Break the arm of the wicked and the evildoer, Seek out his wickedness until Thou dost find none. v16 יַהְוֶה is King forever and ever; Nations have perished from His land. v17 O יַהְוֶה, Thou hast heard the desire of the humble; Thou wilt strengthen their heart, Thou wilt incline Thine ear v18 To vindicate the orphan and the oppressed, That man who is of the earth may cause terror no more.

 

 

Psalm v11

 

11:1 For the choir director. A Psalm of David. In יַהְוֶה I take refuge; How can you say to my soul, "Flee as a bird to your mountain; v2 For, behold, the wicked bend the bow, They make ready their arrow upon the string, To shoot in darkness at the upright in heart. v3 If the foundations are destroyed, What can the righteous do?" v4 יַהְוֶה is in His holy temple; the LORD's throne is in heaven; His eyes behold, His eyelids test the sons of men. v5 יַהְוֶה tests the righteous and the wicked, And the one who loves violence His soul hates. v6 Upon the wicked He will rain snares; Fire and brimstone and burning wind will be the portion of their cup. v7 For יַהְוֶה is righteous; He loves righteousness; The upright will behold His face.

 

 

Psalm v12

 

12:1 For the choir director; upon an eight-stringed lyre. A Psalm of David. Help, יַהְוֶה, for the godly man ceases to be, For the faithful disappear from among the sons of men. v2 They speak falsehood to one another; With flattering lips and with a double heart they speak. v3 May יַהְוֶה cut off all flattering lips, The tongue that speaks great things; v4 Who have said, "With our tongue we will prevail; Our lips are our own; who is lord over us?" v5 "Because of the devastation of the afflicted, because of the groaning of the needy, Now I will arise," says יַהְוֶה; "I will set him in the safety for which he longs." v6 The words of יַהְוֶה are pure words; As silver tried in a furnace on the earth, refined seven times. v7 Thou, O יַהְוֶה, wilt keep them; Thou wilt preserve him from this generation forever. v8 The wicked strut about on every side, When vileness is exalted among the sons of men.

 

 

Psalm v13

 

13:1 For the choir director. A Psalm of David. How long, O יַהְוֶה? Wilt Thou forget me forever? How long wilt Thou hide Thy face from me? v2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, Having sorrow in my heart all the day? How long will my enemy be exalted over me? v3 Consider and answer me, O יַהְוֶה, my Almighty; Enlighten my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death, v4 Lest my enemy say, "I have overcome him," Lest my adversaries rejoice when I am shaken. v5 But I have trusted in Thy lovingkindness; My heart shall rejoice in Thy salvation. v6 I will sing to יַהְוֶה, Because He has dealt bountifully with me.

 

 

Psalm v14

 

14:1 For the choir director. A Psalm of David. The fool has said in his heart, "There is no Almighty." They are corrupt, they have committed abominable deeds; There is no one who does good. v2 יַהְוֶה has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, To see if there are any who understand, Who seek after the Almighty. v3 They have all turned aside; together they have become corrupt; There is no one who does good, not even one. v4 Do all the workers of wickedness not know, Who eat up my people as they eat bread, And do not call upon the Lord? v5 There they are in great dread, For the Almighty is with the righteous generation. v6 You would put to shame the counsel of the afflicted, But יַהְוֶה is his refuge. v7 Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When יַהְוֶה restores His captive people, Jacob will rejoice, Israel will be glad.

 

 

Psalm v15

 

15:1 A Psalm of David. O Lord, who may abide in Thy tent? Who may dwell on Thy holy hill? v2 He who walks with integrity, and works righteousness, And speaks truth in his heart. v3 He does not slander with his tongue, Nor does evil to his neighbor, Nor takes up a reproach against his friend; v4 In whose eyes a reprobate is despised, But who honors those who fear יַהְוֶה; He swears to his own hurt, and does not change; v5 He does not put out his money at interest, Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things will never be shaken.

 

 

Psalm v16

 

16:1 A Mikhtam of David. Preserve me, O Almighty, for I take refuge in Thee. v2 I said to יַהְוֶה, "Thou art my Lord; I have no good besides Thee." v3 As for the saints who are in the earth, They are the majestic ones in whom is all my delight. v4 The sorrows of those who have bartered for another god will be multiplied; I shall not pour out their libations of blood, Nor shall I take their names upon my lips. v5 יַהְוֶה is the portion of my inheritance and my cup; Thou dost support my lot. v6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Indeed, my heritage is beautiful to me. v7 I will bless יַהְוֶה who has counseled me; Indeed, my mind instructs me in the night. v8 I have set יַהְוֶה continually before me; Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. v9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will dwell securely. v10 For Thou wilt not abandon my soul to Sheol; Neither wilt Thou allow Thy Holy One to undergo decay. v11 Thou wilt make known to me the path of life; In Thy presence is fulness of joy; In Thy right hand there are pleasures forever.

 

 

Psalm v17

 

17:1 A Prayer of David. Hear a just cause, O יַהְוֶה, give heed to my cry; Give ear to my prayer, which is not from deceitful lips. v2 Let my judgment come forth from Thy presence; Let Thine eyes look with equity. v3 Thou hast tried my heart; Thou hast visited me by night; Thou hast tested me and dost find nothing; I have purposed that my mouth will not transgress. v4 As for the deeds of men, by the word of Thy lips I have kept from the paths of the violent. v5 My steps have held fast to Thy paths. My feet have not slipped. v6 I have called upon Thee, for Thou wilt answer me, O Almighty; Incline Thine ear to me, hear my speech. v7 Wondrously show Thy lovingkindness, O Savior of those who take refuge at Thy right hand From those who rise up against them. v8 Keep me as the apple of the eye; Hide me in the shadow of Thy wings, v9 From the wicked who despoil me, My deadly enemies, who surround me. v10 They have closed their unfeeling heart; With their mouth they speak proudly. v11 They have now surrounded us in our steps; They set their eyes to cast us down to the ground. v12 He is like a lion that is eager to tear, And as a young lion lurking in hiding places. v13 Arise, O יַהְוֶה, confront him, bring him low; Deliver my soul from the wicked with Thy sword, v14 From men with Thy hand, O יַהְוֶה, From men of the world, whose portion is in this life; And whose belly Thou dost fill with Thy treasure; They are satisfied with children, And leave their abundance to their babes. v15 As for me, I shall behold Thy face in righteousness; I will be satisfied with Thy likeness when I awake.

 

 

Psalm v18

 

18:1 For the choir director. A Psalm of David the servant of the Lord, who spoke to the Lord the words of this song in the day that the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. And he said, "I Love Thee, O יַהְוֶה, my strength." v2 יַהְוֶה is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, My Almighty, my rock, in whom I take refuge; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. v3 I call upon יַהְוֶה, who is worthy to be praised, And I am saved from my enemies. v4 The cords of death encompassed me, And the torrents of ungodliness terrified me. v5 The cords of Sheol surrounded me; The snares of death confronted me. v6 In my distress I called upon יַהְוֶה, And cried to my Almighty for help; He heard my voice out of His temple, And my cry for help before Him came into His ears. v7 Then the earth shook and quaked; And the foundations of the mountains were trembling And were shaken, because He was angry. v8 Smoke went up out of His nostrils, And fire from His mouth devoured; Coals were kindled by it. v9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down With thick darkness under His feet. v10 And He rode upon a cherub and flew; And He sped upon the wings of the wind. v11 He made darkness His hiding place, His canopy around Him, Darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies. v12 From the brightness before Him passed His thick clouds, Hailstones and coals of fire. v13 יַהְוֶה also thundered in the heavens, And the Most High uttered His voice, Hailstones and coals of fire. v14 And He sent out His arrows, and scattered them, And lightning flashes in abundance, and routed them. v15 Then the channels of water appeared, And the foundations of the world were laid bare At Thy rebuke, O יַהְוֶה, At the blast of the breath of Thy nostrils. v16 He sent from on high, He took me; He drew me out of many waters. v17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, And from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me. v18 They confronted me in the day of my calamity, But יַהְוֶה was my stay. v19 He brought me forth also into a broad place; He rescued me, because He delighted in me. v20 יַהְוֶה has rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands He has recompensed me. v21 For I have kept the ways of יַהְוֶה, And have not wickedly departed from my Almighty. v22 For all His ordinances were before me, And I did not put away His statutes from me. v23 I was also blameless with Him, And I kept myself from my iniquity. v24 Therefore יַהְוֶה has recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands in His eyes. v25 With the kind Thou dost show Thyself kind; With the blameless Thou dost show Thyself blameless; v26 With the pure Thou dost show Thyself pure; And with the crooked Thou dost show Thyself astute. v27 For Thou dost save an afflicted people; But haughty eyes Thou dost abase. v28 For Thou dost light my lamp; יַהְוֶה my Almighty illumines my darkness. v29 For by Thee I can run upon a troop; And by my Almighty I can leap over a wall. v30 As for the Almighty, His way is blameless; The word of יַהְוֶה is tried; He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him. v31 For who is Almighty, but יַהְוֶה? And who is a rock, except our Almighty, v32 The Almighty who girds me with strength, And makes my way blameless? v33 He makes my feet like hinds' feet, And sets me upon my high places. v34 He trains my hands for battle, So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze. v35 Thou hast also given me the shield of Thy salvation, And Thy right hand upholds me; And Thy gentleness makes me great. v36 Thou dost enlarge my steps under me, And my feet have not slipped. v37 I pursued my enemies and overtook them, And I did not turn back until they were consumed. v38 I shattered them, so that they were not able to rise; They fell under my feet. v39 For Thou hast girded me with strength for battle; Thou hast subdued under me those who rose up against me. v40 Thou hast also made my enemies turn their backs to me, And I destroyed those who hated me. v41 They cried for help, but there was none to save, Even to יַהְוֶה, but He did not answer them. v42 Then I beat them fine as the dust before the wind; I emptied them out as the mire of the streets. v43 Thou hast delivered me from the contentions of the people; Thou hast placed me as head of the nations; A people whom I have not known serve me. v44 As soon as they hear, they obey me; Foreigners submit to me. v45 Foreigners fade away, And come trembling out of their fortresses. v46 יַהְוֶה lives, and blessed be my rock; And exalted be the Almighty of my salvation, v47 The Almighty who executes vengeance for me, And subdues peoples under me. v48 He delivers me from my enemies; Surely Thou dost lift me above those who rise up against me; Thou dost rescue me from the violent man. v49 Therefore I will give thanks to Thee among the nations, O יַהְוֶה, And I will sing praises to Thy name. v50 He gives great deliverance to His king, And shows lovingkindness to His anointed, To David and his descendants forever.

 

 

Psalm v19

 

19:1 For the choir director. A Psalm of David. The heavens are telling of the glory of the Almighty; And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands. v2 Day to day pours forth speech, And night to night reveals knowledge. v3 There is no speech, nor are there words; Their voice is not heard. v4 Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their utterances to the end of the world. In them He has placed a tent for the sun, v5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber; It rejoices as a strong man to run his course. v6 Its rising is from one end of the heavens, And its circuit to the other end of them; And there is nothing hidden from its heat. v7 The law of יַהְוֶה is perfect, restoring the soul; The testimony of יַהְוֶה is sure, making wise the simple. v8 The precepts of יַהְוֶה are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of יַהְוֶה is pure, enlightening the eyes. v9 The fear of יַהְוֶה is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of יַהְוֶה are true; they are righteous altogether. v10 They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb. v11 Moreover, by them Thy servant is warned; In keeping them there is great reward. v12 Who can discern his errors? Acquit me of hidden faults. v13 Also keep back Thy servant from presumptuous sins; Let them not rule over me; Then I shall be blameless, And I shall be acquitted of great transgression. v14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Thy sight, O יַהְוֶה, my rock and my Redeemer.

 

 

Psalm v20

 

20:1 For the choir director. A Psalm of David May יַהְוֶה answer you in the day of trouble! May the name of the Almighty of Jacob set you securely on high! v2 May He send you help from the sanctuary, And support you from Zion! v3 May He remember all your meal offerings, And find your burnt offering acceptable! Selah. v4 May He grant you your heart's desire, And fulfill all your counsel! v5 We will sing for joy over your victory, And in the name of our Almighty we will set up our banners. May יַהְוֶה fulfill all your petitions. v6 Now I know that יַהְוֶה saves His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven, With the saving strength of His right hand. v7 Some boast in chariots, and some in horses; But we will boast in the name of יַהְוֶה, our Almighty. v8 They have bowed down and fallen; But we have risen and stood upright. v9 Save, O יַהְוֶה; May the King answer us in the day we call.

 

 

Psalm v21

 

21:1 For the choir director. A Psalm of David. O Lord, in Thy strength the king will be glad, And in Thy salvation how greatly he will rejoice! v2 Thou hast given him his heart's desire, And Thou hast not withheld the request of his lips. Selah. v3 For Thou dost meet him with the blessings of good things; Thou dost set a crown of fine gold on his head. v4 He asked life of Thee, Thou didst give it to him, Length of days forever and ever. v5 His glory is great through Thy salvation, Splendor and majesty Thou dost place upon him. v6 For Thou dost make him most blessed forever; Thou dost make him joyful with gladness in Thy presence. v7 For the king trusts in יַהְוֶה, And through the lovingkindness of the Most High he will not be shaken. v8 Your hand will find out all your enemies; Your right hand will find out those who hate you. v9 You will make them as a fiery oven in the time of your anger; יַהְוֶה will swallow them up in His wrath, And fire will devour them. v10 Their offspring Thou wilt destroy from the earth, And their descendants from among the sons of men. v11 Though they intended evil against Thee, And devised a plot, They will not succeed. v12 For Thou wilt make them turn their back; Thou wilt aim with Thy bowstrings at their faces. v13 Be Thou exalted, O יַהְוֶה, in Thy strength; We will sing and praise Thy power.

 

 

Psalm v22

 

22:1 For the choir director; upon Aijeleth Hashshahar. A Psalm of David. My Almighty, my Almighty, why hast Thou forsaken me? Far from my deliverance are the words of my groaning. v2 O my Almighty, I cry by day, but Thou dost not answer; And by night, but I have no rest. v3 Yet Thou art holy, O Thou who art enthroned upon the praises of Israel. v4 In Thee our fathers trusted; They trusted, and Thou didst deliver them. v5 To Thee they cried out, and were delivered; In Thee they trusted, and were not disappointed. v6 But I am a worm, and not a man, A reproach of men, and despised by the people. v7 All who see me sneer at me; They separate with the lip, they wag the head, saying, v8 "Commit yourself to יַהְוֶה; let Him deliver him; Let Him rescue him, because He delights in him." v9 Yet Thou art He who didst bring me forth from the womb; Thou didst make me trust when upon my mother's breasts. v10 Upon Thee I was cast from birth; Thou hast been my Almighty from my mother's womb. v11 Be not far from me, for trouble is near; For there is none to help. v12 Many bulls have surrounded me; Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me. v13 They open wide their mouth at me, As a ravening and a roaring lion. v14 I am poured out like water, And all my bones are out of joint; My heart is like wax; It is melted within me. v15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd, And my tongue cleaves to my jaws; And Thou dost lay me in the dust of death. v16 For dogs have surrounded me; A band of evildoers has encompassed me; They pierced my hands and my feet. v17 I can count all my bones. They look, they stare at me; v18 They divide my garments among them, And for my clothing they cast lots. v19 But Thou, O יַהְוֶה, be not far off; O Thou my help, hasten to my assistance. v20 Deliver my soul from the sword, My only life from the power of the dog. v21 Save me from the lion's mouth; And from the horns of the wild oxen Thou dost answer me. v22 I will tell of Thy name to my brethren; In the midst of the assembly I will praise Thee. v23 You who fear יַהְוֶה, praise Him; All you descendants of Jacob, glorify Him, And stand in awe of Him, all you descendants of Israel. v24 For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; Neither has He hidden His face from him; But when he cried to Him for help, He heard. v25 From Thee comes my praise in the great assembly; I shall pay my vows before those who fear Him. v26 The afflicted shall eat and be satisfied; Those who seek Him will praise יַהְוֶה. Let your heart live forever! v27 All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to יַהְוֶה, And all the families of the nations will worship before Thee. v28 For the kingdom is the LORD's, And He rules over the nations. v29 All the prosperous of the earth will eat and worship, All those who go down to the dust will bow before Him, Even he who cannot keep his soul alive. v30 Posterity will serve Him; It will be told of the Lord to the coming generation. v31 They will come and will declare His righteousness To a people who will be born, that He has performed it.

 

 

Psalm v23

 

23:1 A Psalm of David. יַהְוֶה is my shepherd, I shall not want. v2 He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. v3 He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness For His name's sake. v4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil; for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me. v5 Thou dost prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; Thou hast anointed my head with oil; My cup overflows. v6 Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life, And I will dwell in the house of יַהְוֶה forever.

 

 

Psalm v24

 

24:1 A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD's, and all it contains, The world, and those who dwell in it. v2 For He has founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the rivers. v3 Who may ascend into the hill of יַהְוֶה? And who may stand in His holy place? v4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, And has not sworn deceitfully. v5 He shall receive a blessing from יַהְוֶה And righteousness from the Almighty of his salvation. v6 This is the generation of those who seek Him, Who seek Thy face-- even Jacob. Selah. v7 Lift up your heads, O gates, And be lifted up, O ancient doors, That the King of glory may come in! v8 Who is the King of glory? יַהְוֶה strong and mighty, יַהְוֶה mighty in battle. v9 Lift up your heads, O gates, And lift them up, O ancient doors, That the King of glory may come in! v10 Who is this King of glory? יַהְוֶה of hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah.

 

 

Psalm v25

 

25:1 A Psalm of David. To Thee, O יַהְוֶה, I lift up my soul. v2 O my Almighty, in Thee I trust, Do not let me be ashamed; Do not let my enemies exult over me. v3 Indeed, none of those who wait for Thee will be ashamed; Those who deal treacherously without cause will be ashamed. v4 Make me know Thy ways, O יַהְוֶה; Teach me Thy paths. v5 Lead me in Thy truth and teach me, For Thou art the Almighty of my salvation; For Thee I wait all the day. v6 Remember, O יַהְוֶה, Thy compassion and Thy lovingkindnesses, For they have been from of old. v7 Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions; According to Thy lovingkindness remember Thou me, For Thy goodness' sake, O יַהְוֶה. v8 Good and upright is יַהְוֶה; Therefore He instructs sinners in the way. v9 He leads the humble in justice, And He teaches the humble His way. v10 All the paths of יַהְוֶה are lovingkindness and truth To those who keep His covenant and His testimonies. v11 For Thy name's sake, O יַהְוֶה, Pardon my iniquity, for it is great. v12 Who is the man who fears יַהְוֶה? He will instruct him in the way he should choose. v13 His soul will abide in prosperity, And his descendants will inherit the land. v14 The secret of יַהְוֶה is for those who fear Him, And He will make them know His covenant. v15 My eyes are continually toward יַהְוֶה, For He will pluck my feet out of the net. v16 Turn to me and be gracious to me, For I am lonely and afflicted. v17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged; Bring me out of my distresses. v18 Look upon my affliction and my trouble, And forgive all my sins. v19 Look upon my enemies, for they are many; And they hate me with violent hatred. v20 Guard my soul and deliver me; Do not let me be ashamed, for I take refuge in Thee. v21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For I wait for Thee. v22 Redeem Israel, O Almighty, Out of all his troubles.

 

 

Psalm v26

 

26:1 A Psalm of David. Vindicate me, O יַהְוֶה, for I have walked in my integrity; And I have trusted in יַהְוֶה without wavering. v2 Examine me, O יַהְוֶה, and try me; Test my mind and my heart. v3 For Thy lovingkindness is before my eyes, And I have walked in Thy truth. v4 I do not sit with deceitful men, Nor will I go with pretenders. v5 I hate the assembly of evildoers, And I will not sit with the wicked. v6 I shall wash my hands in innocence, And I will go about Thine altar, O יַהְוֶה, v7 That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving, And declare all Thy wonders. v8 O יַהְוֶה, I love the habitation of Thy house, And the place where Thy glory dwells. v9 Do not take my soul away along with sinners, Nor my life with men of bloodshed, v10 In whose hands is a wicked scheme, And whose right hand is full of bribes. v11 But as for me, I shall walk in my integrity; Redeem me, and be gracious to me. v12 My foot stands on a level place; In the congregations I shall bless יַהְוֶה.

 

 

Psalm v27

 

27:1 A Psalm of David. יַהְוֶה is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? יַהְוֶה is the defense of my life; Whom shall I dread? v2 When evildoers came upon me to devour my flesh, My adversaries and my enemies, they stumbled and fell. v3 Though a host encamp against me, My heart will not fear; Though war arise against me, In spite of this I shall be confident. v4 One thing I have asked from יַהְוֶה, that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of יַהְוֶה all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of יַהְוֶה, And to meditate in His temple. v5 For in the day of trouble He will conceal me in His tabernacle; In the secret place of His tent He will hide me; He will lift me up on a rock. v6 And now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me; And I will offer in His tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to יַהְוֶה. v7 Hear, O יַהְוֶה, when I cry with my voice, And be gracious to me and answer me. v8 When Thou didst say, "Seek My face," my heart said to Thee, "Thy face, O יַהְוֶה, I shall seek." v9 Do not hide Thy face from me, Do not turn Thy servant away in anger; Thou hast been my help; Do not abandon me nor forsake me, O Almighty of my salvation! v10 For my father and my mother have forsaken me, But יַהְוֶה will take me up. v11 Teach me Thy way, O יַהְוֶה, And lead me in a level path, Because of my foes. v12 Do not deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries; For false witnesses have risen against me, And such as breathe out violence. v13 I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of יַהְוֶה In the land of the living. v14 Wait for יַהְוֶה; Be strong, and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for יַהְוֶה.

 

 

Psalm v28

 

28:1 A Psalm of David. To Thee, O יַהְוֶה, I call; My rock, do not be deaf to me, Lest, if Thou be silent to me, I become like those who go down to the pit. v2 Hear the voice of my supplications when I cry to Thee for help, When I lift up my hands toward Thy holy sanctuary. v3 Do not drag me away with the wicked And with those who work iniquity; Who speak peace with their neighbors, While evil is in their hearts. v4 Requite them according to their work and according to the evil of their practices; Requite them according to the deeds of their hands; Repay them their recompense. v5 Because they do not regard the works of יַהְוֶה Nor the deeds of His hands, He will tear them down and not build them up. v6 Blessed be יַהְוֶה, Because He has heard the voice of my supplication. v7 יַהְוֶה is my strength and my shield; My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart exults, And with my song I shall thank Him. v8 יַהְוֶה is their strength, And He is a saving defense to His anointed. v9 Save Thy people, and bless Thine inheritance; Be their shepherd also, and carry them forever.

 

 

Psalm v29

 

29:1 A Psalm of David. Ascribe to יַהְוֶה, O sons of the mighty, Ascribe to יַהְוֶה glory and strength. v2 Ascribe to יַהְוֶה the glory due to His name; Worship יַהְוֶה in holy array. v3 The voice of יַהְוֶה is upon the waters; The Almighty of glory thunders, יַהְוֶה is over many waters. v4 The voice of יַהְוֶה is powerful, The voice of יַהְוֶה is majestic. v5 The voice of יַהְוֶה breaks the cedars; Yes, יַהְוֶה breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon. v6 And He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, And Sirion like a young wild ox. v7 The voice of יַהְוֶה hews out flames of fire. v8 The voice of יַהְוֶה shakes the wilderness; יַהְוֶה shakes the wilderness of Kadesh. v9 The voice of יַהְוֶה makes the deer to calve, And strips the forests bare, And in His temple everything says, "Glory!" v10 יַהְוֶה sat as King at the flood; Yes, יַהְוֶה sits as King forever. v11 יַהְוֶה will give strength to His people; יַהְוֶה will bless His people with peace.

 

 

Psalm v30

 

30:1 A Psalm; a Song at the Dedication of the House. A Psalm of David. I Will extol Thee, O יַהְוֶה, for Thou hast lifted me up, And hast not let my enemies rejoice over me. v2 O יַהְוֶה my Almighty, I cried to Thee for help, and Thou didst heal me. v3 O יַהְוֶה, Thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol; Thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. v4 Sing praise to יַהְוֶה, you His godly ones, And give thanks to His holy name. v5 For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for a lifetime; Weeping may last for the night, But a shout of joy comes in the morning. v6 Now as for me, I said in my prosperity, "I will never be moved." v7 O יַהְוֶה, by Thy favor Thou hast made my mountain to stand strong; Thou didst hide Thy face, I was dismayed. v8 To Thee, O יַהְוֶה, I called, And to the Lord I made supplication: v9 "What profit is there in my blood, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise Thee? Will it declare Thy faithfulness? v10 "Hear, O יַהְוֶה, and be gracious to me; O יַהְוֶה, be Thou my helper." v11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; Thou hast loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness; v12 That my soul may sing praise to Thee, and not be silent. O יַהְוֶה my Almighty, I will give thanks to Thee forever.

 

 

Psalm v31

 

31:1 For the choir director. A Psalm of David. In Thee, O יַהְוֶה, I have taken refuge; Let me never be ashamed; In Thy righteousness deliver me. v2 Incline Thine ear to me, rescue me quickly; Be Thou to me a rock of strength, A stronghold to save me. v3 For Thou art my rock and my fortress; For Thy name's sake Thou wilt lead me and guide me. v4 Thou wilt pull me out of the net which they have secretly laid for me; For Thou art my strength. v5 Into Thy hand I commit my spirit; Thou hast ransomed me, O יַהְוֶה, Almighty of truth. v6 I hate those who regard vain idols; But I trust in יַהְוֶה. v7 I will rejoice and be glad in Thy lovingkindness, Because Thou hast seen my affliction; Thou hast known the troubles of my soul, v8 And Thou hast not given me over into the hand of the enemy; Thou hast set my feet in a large place. v9 Be gracious to me, O יַהְוֶה, for I am in distress; My eye is wasted away from grief, my soul and my body also. v10 For my life is spent with sorrow, And my years with sighing; My strength has failed because of my iniquity, And my body has wasted away. v11 Because of all my adversaries, I have become a reproach, Especially to my neighbors, And an object of dread to my acquaintances; Those who see me in the street flee from me. v12 I am forgotten as a dead man, out of mind, I am like a broken vessel. v13 For I have heard the slander of many, Terror is on every side; While they took counsel together against me, They schemed to take away my life. v14 But as for me, I trust in Thee, O יַהְוֶה, I say, "Thou art my Almighty." v15 My times are in Thy hand; Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me. v16 Make Thy face to shine upon Thy servant; Save me in Thy lovingkindness. v17 Let me not be put to shame, O יַהְוֶה, for I call upon Thee; Let the wicked be put to shame, let them be silent in Sheol. v18 Let the lying lips be dumb, Which speak arrogantly against the righteous With pride and contempt. v19 How great is Thy goodness, Which Thou hast stored up for those who fear Thee, Which Thou hast wrought for those who take refuge in Thee, Before the sons of men! v20 Thou dost hide them in the secret place of Thy presence from the conspiracies of man; Thou dost keep them secretly in a shelter from the strife of tongues. v21 Blessed be יַהְוֶה, For He has made marvelous His lovingkindness to me in a besieged city. v22 As for me, I said in my alarm, "I am cut off from before Thine eyes"; Nevertheless Thou didst hear the voice of my supplications When I cried to Thee. v23 O love יַהְוֶה, all you His godly ones! יַהְוֶה preserves the faithful, And fully recompenses the proud doer. v24 Be strong, and let your heart take courage, All you who hope in יַהְוֶה.

 

 

Psalm v32

 

32:1 A Psalm of David. A Maskil. How blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered! v2 How blessed is the man to whom יַהְוֶה does not impute iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit! v3 When I kept silent about my sin, my body wasted away Through my groaning all day long. v4 For day and night Thy hand was heavy upon me; My vitality was drained away as with the fever heat of summer. Selah. v5 I acknowledged my sin to Thee, And my iniquity I did not hide; I said, "I will confess my transgressions to יַהְוֶה"; And Thou didst forgive the guilt of my sin. Selah. v6 Therefore, let everyone who is godly pray to Thee in a time when Thou mayest be found; Surely in a flood of great waters they shall not reach him. v7 Thou art my hiding place; Thou dost preserve me from trouble; Thou dost surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah. v8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you. v9 Do not be as the horse or as the mule which have no understanding, Whose trappings include bit and bridle to hold them in check, Otherwise they will not come near to you. v10 Many are the sorrows of the wicked; But he who trusts in יַהְוֶה, lovingkindness shall surround him. v11 Be glad in יַהְוֶה and rejoice, you righteous ones, And shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart.

 

 

Psalm v33

 

33:1 Sing for joy in יַהְוֶה, O you righteous ones; Praise is becoming to the upright. v2 Give thanks to יַהְוֶה with the lyre; Sing praises to Him with a harp of ten strings. v3 Sing to Him a new song; Play skillfully with a shout of joy. v4 For the word of יַהְוֶה is upright; And all His work is done in faithfulness. v5 He loves righteousness and justice; The earth is full of the lovingkindness of יַהְוֶה. v6 By the word of יַהְוֶה the heavens were made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host. v7 He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap; He lays up the deeps in storehouses. v8 Let all the earth fear יַהְוֶה; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. v9 For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast. v10 יַהְוֶה nullifies the counsel of the nations; He frustrates the plans of the peoples. v11 The counsel of יַהְוֶה stands forever, The plans of His heart from generation to generation. v12 Blessed is the nation whose Almighty is יַהְוֶה, The people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance. v13 יַהְוֶה looks from heaven; He sees all the sons of men; v14 From His dwelling place He looks out On all the inhabitants of the earth, v15 He who fashions the hearts of them all, He who understands all their works. v16 The king is not saved by a mighty army; A warrior is not delivered by great strength. v17 A horse is a false hope for victory; Nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength. v18 Behold, the eye of יַהְוֶה is on those who fear Him, On those who hope for His lovingkindness, v19 To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine. v20 Our soul waits for יַהְוֶה; He is our help and our shield. v21 For our heart rejoices in Him, Because we trust in His holy name. v22 Let Thy lovingkindness, O יַהְוֶה, be upon us, According as we have hoped in Thee.

 

 

Psalm v34

 

34:1 A Psalm of David when he feigned madness before Abimelech, who drove him away and he departed. I Will bless יַהְוֶה at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. v2 My soul shall make its boast in יַהְוֶה; The humble shall hear it and rejoice. v3 O magnify יַהְוֶה with me, And let us exalt His name together. v4 I sought יַהְוֶה, and He answered me, And delivered me from all my fears. v5 They looked to Him and were radiant, And their faces shall never be ashamed. v6 This poor man cried and יַהְוֶה heard him, And saved him out of all his troubles. v7 The angel of יַהְוֶה encamps around those who fear Him, And rescues them. v8 O taste and see that יַהְוֶה is good; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him! v9 O fear יַהְוֶה, you His saints; For to those who fear Him, there is no want. v10 The young lions do lack and suffer hunger; But they who seek יַהְוֶה shall not be in want of any good thing. v11 Come, you children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of יַהְוֶה. v12 Who is the man who desires life, And loves length of days that he may see good? v13 Keep your tongue from evil, And your lips from speaking deceit. v14 Depart from evil, and do good; Seek peace, and pursue it. v15 The eyes of יַהְוֶה are toward the righteous, And His ears are open to their cry. v16 The face of יַהְוֶה is against evildoers, To cut off the memory of them from the earth. v17 The righteous cry and יַהְוֶה hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles. v18 יַהְוֶה is near to the brokenhearted, And saves those who are crushed in spirit. v19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous; But יַהְוֶה delivers him out of them all. v20 He keeps all his bones; Not one of them is broken. v21 Evil shall slay the wicked; And those who hate the righteous will be condemned. v22 יַהְוֶה redeems the soul of His servants; And none of those who take refuge in Him will be condemned.

 

 

Psalm v35

 

35:1 A Psalm of David. Contend, O יַהְוֶה, with those who contend with me; Fight against those who fight against me. v2 Take hold of buckler and shield, And rise up for my help. v3 Draw also the spear and the battle-axe to meet those who pursue me; Say to my soul, "I am your salvation." v4 Let those be ashamed and dishonored who seek my life; Let those be turned back and humiliated who devise evil against me. v5 Let them be like chaff before the wind, With the angel of יַהְוֶה driving them on. v6 Let their way be dark and slippery, With the angel of יַהְוֶה pursuing them. v7 For without cause they hid their net for me; Without cause they dug a pit for my soul. v8 Let destruction come upon him unawares; And let the net which he hid catch himself; Into that very destruction let him fall. v9 And my soul shall rejoice in יַהְוֶה; It shall exult in His salvation. v10 All my bones will say, " יַהְוֶה, who is like Thee, Who delivers the afflicted from him who is too strong for him, And the afflicted and the needy from him who robs him?" v11 Malicious witnesses rise up; They ask me of things that I do not know. v12 They repay me evil for good, To the bereavement of my soul. v13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth; I humbled my soul with fasting; And my prayer kept returning to my bosom. v14 I went about as though it were my friend or brother; I bowed down mourning, as one who sorrows for a mother. v15 But at my stumbling they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together; The smiters whom I did not know gathered together against me, They slandered me without ceasing. v16 Like godless jesters at a feast, They gnashed at me with their teeth. v17 Lord, how long wilt Thou look on? Rescue my soul from their ravages, My only life from the lions. v18 I will give Thee thanks in the great congregation; I will praise Thee among a mighty throng. v19 Do not let those who are wrongfully my enemies rejoice over me; Neither let those who hate me without cause wink maliciously. v20 For they do not speak peace, But they devise deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land. v21 And they opened their mouth wide against me; They said, "Aha, aha, our eyes have seen it!" v22 Thou hast seen it, O יַהְוֶה, do not keep silent; O Lord, do not be far from me. v23 Stir up Thyself, and awake to my right, And to my cause, my Almighty and my Lord. v24 Judge me, O יַהְוֶה my Almighty, according to Thy righteousness; And do not let them rejoice over me. v25 Do not let them say in their heart, "Aha, our desire!" Do not let them say, "We have swallowed him up!" v26 Let those be ashamed and humiliated altogether who rejoice at my distress; Let those be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves over me. v27 Let them shout for joy and rejoice, who favor my vindication; And let them say continually, " יַהְוֶה be magnified, Who delights in the prosperity of His servant." v28 And my tongue shall declare Thy righteousness And Thy praise all day long.

 

 

Psalm v36

 

36:1 For the choir director. A Psalm of David the servant of the Lord. Transgression speaks to the ungodly within his heart; There is no fear of the Almighty before his eyes. v2 For it flatters him in his own eyes, Concerning the discovery of his iniquity and the hatred of it. v3 The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit; He has ceased to be wise and to do good. v4 He plans wickedness upon his bed; He sets himself on a path that is not good; He does not despise evil. v5 Thy lovingkindness, O יַהְוֶה, extends to the heavens, Thy faithfulness reaches to the skies. v6 Thy righteousness is like the mountains of the Almighty; Thy judgments are like a great deep. O יַהְוֶה, Thou preservest man and beast. v7 How precious is Thy lovingkindness, O Almighty! And the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Thy wings. v8 They drink their fill of the abundance of Thy house; And Thou dost give them to drink of the river of Thy delights. v9 For with Thee is the fountain of life; In Thy light we see light. v10 O continue Thy lovingkindness to those who know Thee, And Thy righteousness to the upright in heart. v11 Let not the foot of pride come upon me, And let not the hand of the wicked drive me away. v12 There the doers of iniquity have fallen; They have been thrust down and cannot rise.

 

 

Psalm v37

 

37:1 A Psalm of David. Do not fret because of evildoers, Be not envious toward wrongdoers. v2 For they will wither quickly like the grass, And fade like the green herb. v3 Trust in יַהְוֶה, and do good; Dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness. v4 Delight yourself in יַהְוֶה; And He will give you the desires of your heart. v5 Commit your way to יַהְוֶה, Trust also in Him, and He will do it. v6 And He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, And your judgment as the noonday. v7 Rest in יַהְוֶה and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who carries out wicked schemes. v8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; Do not fret, it leads only to evildoing. v9 For evildoers will be cut off, But those who wait for יַהְוֶה, they will inherit the land. v10 Yet a little while and the wicked man will be no more; And you will look carefully for his place, and he will not be there. v11 But the humble will inherit the land, And will delight themselves in abundant prosperity. v12 The wicked plots against the righteous, And gnashes at him with his teeth. v13 The Lord laughs at him; For He sees his day is coming. v14 The wicked have drawn the sword and bent their bow, To cast down the afflicted and the needy, To slay those who are upright in conduct. v15 Their sword will enter their own heart, And their bows will be broken. v16 Better is the little of the righteous Than the abundance of many wicked. v17 For the arms of the wicked will be broken; But יַהְוֶה sustains the righteous. v18 יַהְוֶה knows the days of the blameless; And their inheritance will be forever. v19 They will not be ashamed in the time of evil; And in the days of famine they will have abundance. v20 But the wicked will perish; And the enemies of יַהְוֶה will be like the glory of the pastures, They vanish-- like smoke they vanish away. v21 The wicked borrows and does not pay back, But the righteous is gracious and gives. v22 For those blessed by Him will inherit the land; But those cursed by Him will be cut off. v23 The steps of a man are established by יַהְוֶה; And He delights in his way. v24 When he falls, he shall not be hurled headlong; Because יַהְוֶה is the One who holds his hand. v25 I have been young, and now I am old; Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, Or his descendants begging bread. v26 All day long he is gracious and lends; And his descendants are a blessing. v27 Depart from evil, and do good, So you will abide forever. v28 For יַהְוֶה loves justice, And does not forsake His godly ones; They are preserved forever; But the descendants of the wicked will be cut off. v29 The righteous will inherit the land, And dwell in it forever. v30 The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, And his tongue speaks justice. v31 The law of his Almighty is in his heart; His steps do not slip. v32 The wicked spies upon the righteous, And seeks to kill him. v33 יַהְוֶה will not leave him in his hand, Or let him be condemned when he is judged. v34 Wait for יַהְוֶה, and keep His way, And He will exalt you to inherit the land; When the wicked are cut off, you will see it. v35 I have seen a violent, wicked man Spreading himself like a luxuriant tree in its native soil. v36 Then he passed away, and lo, he was no more; I sought for him, but he could not be found. v37 Mark the blameless man, and behold the upright; For the man of peace will have a posterity. v38 But transgressors will be altogether destroyed; The posterity of the wicked will be cut off. v39 But the salvation of the righteous is from יַהְוֶה; He is their strength in time of trouble. v40 And יַהְוֶה helps them, and delivers them; He delivers them from the wicked, and saves them, Because they take refuge in Him.

 

 

Psalm v38

 

38:1 A Psalm of David, for a memorial. O Lord, rebuke me not in Thy wrath; And chasten me not in Thy burning anger. v2 For Thine arrows have sunk deep into me, And Thy hand has pressed down on me. v3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of Thine indignation; There is no health in my bones because of my sin. v4 For my iniquities are gone over my head; As a heavy burden they weigh too much for me. v5 My wounds grow foul and fester. Because of my folly, v6 I am bent over and greatly bowed down; I go mourning all day long. v7 For my loins are filled with burning; And there is no soundness in my flesh. v8 I am benumbed and badly crushed; I groan because of the agitation of my heart. v9 Lord, all my desire is before Thee; And my sighing is not hidden from Thee. v10 My heart throbs, my strength fails me; And the light of my eyes, even that has gone from me. v11 My loved ones and my friends stand aloof from my plague; And my kinsmen stand afar off. v12 Those who seek my life lay snares for me; And those who seek to injure me have threatened destruction, And they devise treachery all day long. v13 But I, like a deaf man, do not hear; And I am like a dumb man who does not open his mouth. v14 Yes, I am like a man who does not hear, And in whose mouth are no arguments. v15 For I hope in Thee, O יַהְוֶה; Thou wilt answer, O Lord my Almighty. v16 For I said, "May they not rejoice over me, Who, when my foot slips, would magnify themselves against me." v17 For I am ready to fall, And my sorrow is continually before me. v18 For I confess my iniquity; I am full of anxiety because of my sin. v19 But my enemies are vigorous and strong; And many are those who hate me wrongfully. v20 And those who repay evil for good, They oppose me, because I follow what is good. v21 Do not forsake me, O יַהְוֶה; O my Almighty, do not be far from me! v22 Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation!

 

 

Psalm v39

 

39:1 For the choir director, for Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. I Said, "I will guard my ways, That I may not sin with my tongue; I will guard my mouth as with a muzzle, While the wicked are in my presence." v2 I was dumb and silent, I refrained even from good; And my sorrow grew worse. v3 My heart was hot within me; While I was musing the fire burned; Then I spoke with my tongue: v4 " יַהְוֶה, make me to know my end, And what is the extent of my days, Let me know how transient I am. v5 "Behold, Thou hast made my days as handbreadths, And my lifetime as nothing in Thy sight, Surely every man at his best is a mere breath. Selah. v6 "Surely every man walks about as a phantom; Surely they make an uproar for nothing; He amasses riches, and does not know who will gather them. v7 "And now, Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in Thee. v8 "Deliver me from all my transgressions; Make me not the reproach of the foolish. v9 "I have become dumb, I do not open my mouth, Because it is Thou who hast done it. v10 "Remove Thy plague from me; Because of the opposition of Thy hand, I am perishing. v11 "With reproofs Thou dost chasten a man for iniquity; Thou dost consume as a moth what is precious to him; Surely every man is a mere breath. Selah. v12 "Hear my prayer, O יַהְוֶה, and give ear to my cry; Do not be silent at my tears; For I am a stranger with Thee, A sojourner like all my fathers. v13 "Turn Thy gaze away from me, that I may smile again, Before I depart and am no more."

 

 

Psalm v40

 

40:1 For the choir director. A Psalm of David. I Waited patiently for יַהְוֶה; And He inclined to me, and heard my cry. v2 He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay; And He set my feet upon a rock making my footsteps firm. v3 And He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our Almighty; Many will see and fear, And will trust in יַהְוֶה. v4 How blessed is the man who has made יַהְוֶה his trust, And has not turned to the proud, nor to those who lapse into falsehood. v5 Many, O יַהְוֶה my Almighty, are the wonders which Thou hast done, And Thy thoughts toward us; There is none to compare with Thee; If I would declare and speak of them, They would be too numerous to count. v6 Sacrifice and meal offering Thou hast not desired; My ears Thou hast opened; Burnt offering and sin offering Thou hast not required. v7 Then I said, "Behold, I come; In the scroll of the book it is written of me; v8 I delight to do Thy will, O my Almighty; Thy Law is within my heart." v9 I have proclaimed glad tidings of righteousness in the great congregation; Behold, I will not restrain my lips, O יַהְוֶה, Thou knowest. v10 I have not hidden Thy righteousness within my heart; I have spoken of Thy faithfulness and Thy salvation; I have not concealed Thy lovingkindness and Thy truth from the great congregation. v11 Thou, O יַהְוֶה, wilt not withhold Thy compassion from me; Thy lovingkindness and Thy truth will continually preserve me. v12 For evils beyond number have surrounded me; My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to see; They are more numerous than the hairs of my head; And my heart has failed me. v13 Be pleased, O יַהְוֶה, to deliver me; Make haste, O יַהְוֶה, to help me. v14 Let those be ashamed and humiliated together Who seek my life to destroy it; Let those be turned back and dishonored Who delight in my hurt. v15 Let those be appalled because of their shame Who say to me, "Aha, aha!" v16 Let all who seek Thee rejoice and be glad in Thee; Let those who love Thy salvation say continually, " יַהְוֶה be magnified!" v17 Since I am afflicted and needy, Let the Lord be mindful of me; Thou art my help and my deliverer; Do not delay, O my Almighty.

 

 

Psalm v41

 

41:1 For the choir director. A Psalm of David. How blessed is he who considers the helpless; יַהְוֶה will deliver him in a day of trouble. v2 יַהְוֶה will protect him, and keep him alive, And he shall be called blessed upon the earth; And do not give him over to the desire of his enemies. v3 יַהְוֶה will sustain him upon his sickbed; In his illness, Thou dost restore him to health. v4 As for me, I said, "O יַהְוֶה, be gracious to me; Heal my soul, for I have sinned against Thee." v5 My enemies speak evil against me, "When will he die, and his name perish?" v6 And when he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood; His heart gathers wickedness to itself; When he goes outside, he tells it. v7 All who hate me whisper together against me; Against me they devise my hurt, saying, v8 "A wicked thing is poured out upon him, That when he lies down, he will not rise up again." v9 Even my close friend, in whom I trusted, Who ate my bread, Has lifted up his heel against me. v10 But Thou, O יַהְוֶה, be gracious to me, and raise me up, That I may repay them. v11 By this I know that Thou art pleased with me, Because my enemy does not shout in triumph over me. v12 As for me, Thou dost uphold me in my integrity, And Thou dost set me in Thy presence forever. v13 Blessed be יַהְוֶה, the Almighty of Israel, From everlasting to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.

 

 

Psalm v42

 

42:1 For the choir director. A Maskil of the sons of Korah. As the deer pants for the water brooks, So my soul pants for Thee, O Almighty. v2 My soul thirsts for the Almighty, for the living Almighty; When shall I come and appear before the Almighty? v3 My tears have been my food day and night, While they say to me all day long, "Where is your Almighty?" v4 These things I remember, and I pour out my soul within me. For I used to go along with the throng and lead them in procession to the house of the Almighty, With the voice of joy and thanksgiving, a multitude keeping festival. v5 Why are you in despair, O my soul? And why have you become disturbed within me? Hope in the Almighty, for I shall again praise Him For the help of His presence. v6 O my Almighty, my soul is in despair within me; Therefore I remember Thee from the land of the Jordan, And the peaks of Hermon, from Mount Mizar. v7 Deep calls to deep at the sound of Thy waterfalls; All Thy breakers and Thy waves have rolled over me. v8 יַהְוֶה will command His lovingkindness in the daytime; And His song will be with me in the night, A prayer to the Almighty of my life. v9 I will say to the Almighty my rock, "Why hast Thou forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?" v10 As a shattering of my bones, my adversaries revile me, While they say to me all day long, "Where is your Almighty?" v11 Why are you in despair, O my soul? And why have you become disturbed within me? Hope in the Almighty, for I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance, and my Almighty.

 

 

Psalm v43

 

43:1 Vindicate me, O Almighty, and plead my case against an ungodly nation; O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man! v2 For Thou art the Almighty of my strength; why hast Thou rejected me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? v3 O send out Thy light and Thy truth, let them lead me; Let them bring me to Thy holy hill, And to Thy dwelling places. v4 Then I will go to the altar of the Almighty, To the Almighty my exceeding joy; And upon the lyre I shall praise Thee, O Almighty, my Almighty. v5 Why are you in despair, O my soul? And why are you disturbed within me? Hope in the Almighty, for I shall again praise Him, The help of my countenance, and my Almighty.

 

 

Psalm v44

 

44:1 For the choir director. A Maskil of the sons of Korah. O Almighty, we have heard with our ears, Our fathers have told us, The work that Thou didst in their days, In the days of old. v2 Thou with Thine own hand didst drive out the nations; Then Thou didst plant them; Thou didst afflict the peoples, Then Thou didst spread them abroad. v3 For by their own sword they did not possess the land; And their own arm did not save them; But Thy right hand, and Thine arm, and the light of Thy presence, For Thou didst favor them. v4 Thou art my King, O Almighty; Command victories for Jacob. v5 Through Thee we will push back our adversaries; Through Thy name we will trample down those who rise up against us. v6 For I will not trust in my bow, Nor will my sword save me. v7 But Thou hast saved us from our adversaries, And Thou hast put to shame those who hate us. v8 In the Almighty we have boasted all day long, And we will give thanks to Thy name forever. Selah. v9 Yet Thou hast rejected us and brought us to dishonor, And dost not go out with our armies. v10 Thou dost cause us to turn back from the adversary; And those who hate us have taken spoil for themselves. v11 Thou dost give us as sheep to be eaten, And hast scattered us among the nations. v12 Thou dost sell Thy people cheaply, And hast not profited by their sale. v13 Thou dost make us a reproach to our neighbors, A scoffing and a derision to those around us. v14 Thou dost make us a byword among the nations, A laughingstock among the peoples. v15 All day long my dishonor is before me, And my humiliation has overwhelmed me, v16 Because of the voice of him who reproaches and reviles, Because of the presence of the enemy and the avenger. v17 All this has come upon us, but we have not forgotten Thee, And we have not dealt falsely with Thy covenant. v18 Our heart has not turned back, And our steps have not deviated from Thy way, v19 Yet Thou hast crushed us in a place of jackals, And covered us with the shadow of death. v20 If we had forgotten the name of our Almighty, Or extended our hands to a strange god; v21 Would not the Almighty find this out? For He knows the secrets of the heart. v22 But for Thy sake we are killed all day long; We are considered as sheep to be slaughtered. v23 Arouse Thyself, why dost Thou sleep, O Lord? Awake, do not reject us forever. v24 Why dost Thou hide Thy face, And forget our affliction and our oppression? v25 For our soul has sunk down into the dust; Our body cleaves to the earth. v26 Rise up, be our help, And redeem us for the sake of Thy lovingkindness.

My heart overflows with a good theme; I address my verses to the King; My tongue is the pen of a ready writer. v2 Thou art fairer than the sons of men; Grace is poured upon Thy lips; Therefore the Almighty has blessed Thee forever. v3 Gird Thy sword on Thy thigh, O Mighty One, In Thy splendor and Thy majesty! v4 And in Thy majesty ride on victoriously, For the cause of truth and meekness and righteousness; Let Thy right hand teach Thee awesome things. v5 Thine arrows are sharp; The peoples fall under Thee; Thine arrows are in the heart of the King's enemies. v6 Thy throne, O Almighty, is forever and ever; A scepter of uprightness is the scepter of Thy kingdom. v7 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness; Therefore the Almighty, Thy Almighty, has anointed Thee With the oil of joy above Thy fellows. v8 All Thy garments are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia; Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made Thee glad. v9 Kings' daughters are among Thy noble ladies; At Thy right hand stands the queen in gold from Ophir. v10 Listen, O daughter, give attention and incline your ear; Forget your people and your father's house; v11 Then the King will desire your beauty; Because He is your Lord, bow down to Him. v12 And the daughter of Tyre will come with a gift; The rich among the people will entreat your favor. v13 The King's daughter is all glorious within; Her clothing is interwoven with gold. v14 She will be led to the King in embroidered work; The virgins, her companions who follow her, Will be brought to Thee. v15 They will be led forth with gladness and rejoicing; They will enter into the King's palace. v16 In place of your fathers will be your sons; You shall make them princes in all the earth. v17 I will cause Thy name to be remembered in all generations; Therefore the peoples will give Thee thanks forever and ever.

The Almighty is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. v2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change, And though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea; v3 Though its waters roar and foam, Though the mountains quake at its swelling pride. Selah. v4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of the Almighty, The holy dwelling places of the Most High. v5 The Almighty is in the midst of her, she will not be moved; the Almighty will help her when morning dawns. v6 The nations made an uproar, the kingdoms tottered; He raised His voice, the earth melted. v7 יַהְוֶה of hosts is with us; The Almighty of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah. v8 Come, behold the works of יַהְוֶה, Who has wrought desolations in the earth. v9 He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth; He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two; He burns the chariots with fire. v10 "Cease striving and know that I am Almighty; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." v11 יַהְוֶה of hosts is with us; The Almighty of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah.

 

 

Psalm v47

 

47:1 For the choir director. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. O Clap your hands, all peoples; Shout to the Almighty with the voice of joy. v2 For יַהְוֶה Most High is to be feared, A great King over all the earth. v3 He subdues peoples under us, And nations under our feet. v4 He chooses our inheritance for us, The glory of Jacob whom He loves. Selah. v5 The Almighty has ascended with a shout, יַהְוֶה, with the sound of a trumpet. v6 Sing praises to the Almighty, sing praises; Sing praises to our King, sing praises. v7 For the Almighty is the King of all the earth; Sing praises with a skillful psalm. v8 The Almighty reigns over the nations, The Almighty sits on His holy throne. v9 The princes of the people have assembled themselves as the people of the Almighty of Abraham; For the shields of the earth belong to the Almighty; He is highly exalted.

 

 

Psalm v48

 

48:1 A Song; a Psalm of the sons of Korah. Great is יַהְוֶה, and greatly to be praised, In the city of our Almighty, His holy mountain. v2 Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, Is Mount Zion in the far north, The city of the great King. v3 The Almighty, in her palaces, Has made Himself known as a stronghold. v4 For, lo, the kings assembled themselves, They passed by together. v5 They saw it, then they were amazed; They were terrified, they fled in alarm. v6 Panic seized them there, Anguish, as of a woman in childbirth. v7 With the east wind Thou dost break the ships of Tarshish. v8 As we have heard, so have we seen In the city of יַהְוֶה of hosts, in the city of our Almighty; The Almighty will establish her forever. Selah. v9 We have thought on Thy lovingkindness, O Almighty, In the midst of Thy temple. v10 As is Thy name, O Almighty, So is Thy praise to the ends of the earth; Thy right hand is full of righteousness. v11 Let Mount Zion be glad, Let the daughters of Judah rejoice, Because of Thy judgments. v12 Walk about Zion, and go around her; Count her towers; v13 Consider her ramparts; Go through her palaces; That you may tell it to the next generation. v14 For such is Almighty, Our Almighty forever and ever; He will guide us until death.

 

 

Psalm v49

 

49:1 For the choir director. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Hear this, all peoples; Give ear, all inhabitants of the world, v2 Both low and high, Rich and poor together. v3 My mouth will speak wisdom; And the meditation of my heart will be understanding. v4 I will incline my ear to a proverb; I will express my riddle on the harp. v5 Why should I fear in days of adversity, When the iniquity of my foes surrounds me, v6 Even those who trust in their wealth, And boast in the abundance of their riches? v7 No man can by any means redeem his brother, Or give to the Almighty a ransom for him-- v8 For the redemption of his soul is costly, And he should cease trying forever-- v9 That he should live on eternally; That he should not undergo decay. v10 For he sees that even wise men die; The stupid and the senseless alike perish, And leave their wealth to others. v11 Their inner thought is, that their houses are forever, And their dwelling places to all generations; They have called their lands after their own names. v12 But man in his pomp will not endure; He is like the beasts that perish. v13 This is the way of those who are foolish, And of those after them who approve their words. Selah. v14 As sheep they are appointed for Sheol; Death shall be their shepherd; And the upright shall rule over them in the morning; And their form shall be for Sheol to consume, So that they have no habitation. v15 But the Almighty will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol; For He will receive me. Selah. v16 Do not be afraid when a man becomes rich, When the glory of his house is increased; v17 For when he dies he will carry nothing away; His glory will not descend after him. v18 Though while he lives he congratulates himself-- And though men praise you when you do well for yourself-- v19 He shall go to the generation of his fathers; They shall never see the light. v20 Man in his pomp, yet without understanding, Is like the beasts that perish.

 

 

Psalm v50

 

50:1 A Psalm of Asaph. The Mighty One, Almighty, יַהְוֶה, has spoken, And summoned the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting. v2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, the Almighty has shone forth. v3 May our Almighty come and not keep silence; Fire devours before Him, And it is very tempestuous around Him. v4 He summons the heavens above, And the earth, to judge His people: v5 "Gather My godly ones to Me, Those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice." v6 And the heavens declare His righteousness, For the Almighty Himself is judge. Selah. v7 "Hear, O My people, and I will speak; O Israel, I will testify against you; I am the Almighty, your Almighty. v8 "I do not reprove you for your sacrifices, And your burnt offerings are continually before Me. v9 "I shall take no young bull out of your house, Nor male goats out of your folds. v10 "For every beast of the forest is Mine, The cattle on a thousand hills. v11 "I know every bird of the mountains, And everything that moves in the field is Mine. v12 "If I were hungry, I would not tell you; For the world is Mine, and all it contains. v13 "Shall I eat the flesh of bulls, Or drink the blood of male goats? v14 "Offer to the Almighty a sacrifice of thanksgiving, And pay your vows to the Most High; v15 And call upon Me in the day of trouble; I shall rescue you, and you will honor Me." v16 But to the wicked the Almighty says, "What right have you to tell of My statutes, And to take My covenant in your mouth? v17 "For you hate discipline, And you cast My words behind you. v18 "When you see a thief, you are pleased with him, And you associate with adulterers. v19 "You let your mouth loose in evil, And your tongue frames deceit. v20 "You sit and speak against your brother; You slander your own mother's son. v21 "These things you have done, and I kept silence; You thought that I was just like you; I will reprove you, and state the case in order before your eyes. v22 "Now consider this, you who forget the Almighty, Lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver. v23 "He who offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving honors Me; And to him who orders his way aright I shall show the salvation of the Almighty."

 

 

Psalm v51

 

51:1 For the choir director. A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba. Be gracious to me, O Almighty, according to Thy lovingkindness; According to the greatness of Thy compassion blot out my transgressions. v2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin. v3 For I know my transgressions, And my sin is ever before me. v4 Against Thee, Thee only, I have sinned, And done what is evil in Thy sight, So that Thou art justified when Thou dost speak, And blameless when Thou dost judge. v5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me. v6 Behold, Thou dost desire truth in the innermost being, And in the hidden part Thou wilt make me know wisdom. v7 Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. v8 Make me to hear joy and gladness, Let the bones which Thou hast broken rejoice. v9 Hide Thy face from my sins, And blot out all my iniquities. v10 Create in me a clean heart, O Almighty, And renew a steadfast spirit within me. v11 Do not cast me away from Thy presence, And do not take Thy Holy Spirit from me. v12 Restore to me the joy of Thy salvation, And sustain me with a willing spirit. v13 Then I will teach transgressors Thy ways, And sinners will be converted to Thee. v14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O Almighty, Thou Almighty of my salvation; Then my tongue will joyfully sing of Thy righteousness. v15 O Lord, open my lips, That my mouth may declare Thy praise. v16 For Thou dost not delight in sacrifice, otherwise I would give it; Thou art not pleased with burnt offering. v17 The sacrifices of the Almighty are a broken spirit; A broken and a contrite heart, O Almighty, Thou wilt not despise. v18 By Thy favor do good to Zion; Build the walls of Jerusalem. v19 Then Thou wilt delight in righteous sacrifices, In burnt offering and whole burnt offering; Then young bulls will be offered on Thine altar.

 

 

Psalm v52

 

52:1 For the choir director. A Maskil of David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said to him, "David has come to the house of Ahimelech." Why do you boast in evil, O mighty man? The lovingkindness of the Almighty endures all day long. v2 Your tongue devises destruction, Like a sharp razor, O worker of deceit. v3 You love evil more than good, Falsehood more than speaking what is right. Selah. v4 You love all words that devour, O deceitful tongue. v5 But the Almighty will break you down forever; He will snatch you up, and tear you away from your tent, And uproot you from the land of the living. Selah. v6 And the righteous will see and fear, And will laugh at him, saying, v7 "Behold, the man who would not make the Almighty his refuge, But trusted in the abundance of his riches, And was strong in his evil desire." v8 But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in the house of the Almighty; I trust in the lovingkindness of the Almighty forever and ever. v9 I will give Thee thanks forever, because Thou hast done it, And I will wait on Thy name, for it is good, in the presence of Thy godly ones.

 

 

Psalm v53

 

53:1 For the choir director; according to Mahalath. A Maskil of David. The fool has said in his heart, "There is no Almighty," They are corrupt, and have committed abominable injustice; There is no one who does good. v2 The Almighty has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, To see if there is anyone who understands, Who seeks after the Almighty. v3 Every one of them has turned aside; together they have become corrupt; There is no one who does good, not even one. v4 Have the workers of wickedness no knowledge, Who eat up My people as though they ate bread, And have not called upon the Almighty? v5 There they were in great fear where no fear had been; For the Almighty scattered the bones of him who encamped against you; You put them to shame, because the Almighty had rejected them. v6 Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When the Almighty restores His captive people, Let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.

 

 

Psalm v54

 

54:1 For the choir director; on stringed instruments. A Maskil of David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, "Is not David hiding himself among us?" Save me, O Almighty, by Thy name, And vindicate me by Thy power. v2 Hear my prayer, O Almighty; Give ear to the words of my mouth. v3 For strangers have risen against me, And violent men have sought my life; They have not set the Almighty before them. Selah. v4 Behold, the Almighty is my helper; The Lord is the sustainer of my soul. v5 He will recompense the evil to my foes; Destroy them in Thy faithfulness. v6 Willingly I will sacrifice to Thee; I will give thanks to Thy name, O יַהְוֶה, for it is good. v7 For He has delivered me from all trouble; And my eye has looked with satisfaction upon my enemies.

 

 

Psalm v55

 

55:1 For the choir director; on stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. Give ear to my prayer, O Almighty; And do not hide Thyself from my supplication. v2 Give heed to me, and answer me; I am restless in my complaint and am surely distracted, v3 Because of the voice of the enemy, Because of the pressure of the wicked; For they bring down trouble upon me, And in anger they bear a grudge against me. v4 My heart is in anguish within me, And the terrors of death have fallen upon me. v5 Fear and trembling come upon me; And horror has overwhelmed me. v6 And I said, "Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest. v7 "Behold, I would wander far away, I would lodge in the wilderness. Selah. v8 "I would hasten to my place of refuge From the stormy wind and tempest." v9 Confuse, O Lord, divide their tongues, For I have seen violence and strife in the city. v10 Day and night they go around her upon her walls; And iniquity and mischief are in her midst. v11 Destruction is in her midst; Oppression and deceit do not depart from her streets. v12 For it is not an enemy who reproaches me, Then I could bear it; Nor is it one who hates me who has exalted himself against me, Then I could hide myself from him. v13 But it is you, a man my equal, My companion and my familiar friend. v14 We who had sweet fellowship together, Walked in the house of the Almighty in the throng. v15 Let death come deceitfully upon them; Let them go down alive to Sheol, For evil is in their dwelling, in their midst. v16 As for me, I shall call upon the Almighty, And יַהְוֶה will save me. v17 Evening and morning and at noon, I will complain and murmur, And He will hear my voice. v18 He will redeem my soul in peace from the battle which is against me, For they are many who strive with me. v19 The Almighty will hear and answer them-- Even the one who sits enthroned from of old-- Selah. With whom there is no change, And who do not fear the Almighty. v20 He has put forth his hands against those who were at peace with him; He has violated his covenant. v21 His speech was smoother than butter, But his heart was war; His words were softer than oil, Yet they were drawn swords. v22 Cast your burden upon יַהְוֶה, and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken. v23 But Thou, O Almighty, wilt bring them down to the pit of destruction; Men of bloodshed and deceit will not live out half their days. But I will trust in Thee.

 

 

Psalm v56

 

56:1 For the choir director; according to Jonath elem rehokim. A Mikhtam of David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath. Be gracious to me, O Almighty, for man has trampled upon me; Fighting all day long he oppresses me. v2 My foes have trampled upon me all day long, For they are many who fight proudly against me. v3 When I am afraid, I will put my trust in Thee. v4 In the Almighty, whose word I praise, In the Almighty I have put my trust; I shall not be afraid. What can mere man do to me? v5 All day long they distort my words; All their thoughts are against me for evil. v6 They attack, they lurk, They watch my steps, As they have waited to take my life. v7 Because of wickedness, cast them forth, In anger put down the peoples, O Almighty! v8 Thou hast taken account of my wanderings; Put my tears in Thy bottle; Are they not in Thy book? v9 Then my enemies will turn back in the day when I call; This I know, that the Almighty is for me. v10 In the Almighty, whose word I praise, In יַהְוֶה, whose word I praise, v11 In the Almighty I have put my trust, I shall not be afraid. What can man do to me? v12 Thy vows are binding upon me, O Almighty; I will render thank offerings to Thee. v13 For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, Indeed my feet from stumbling, So that I may walk before the Almighty In the light of the living.

 

 

Psalm v57

 

57:1 For the choir director; set to Al-tashheth. A Mikhtam of David, when he fled from Saul, in the cave. Be gracious to me, O Almighty, be gracious to me, For my soul takes refuge in Thee; And in the shadow of Thy wings I will take refuge, Until destruction passes by. v2 I will cry to the Almighty Most High, To the Almighty who accomplishes all things for me. v3 He will send from heaven and save me; He reproaches him who tramples upon me. Selah. The Almighty will send forth His lovingkindness and His truth. v4 My soul is among lions; I must lie among those who breathe forth fire, Even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword. v5 Be exalted above the heavens, O Almighty; Let Thy glory be above all the earth. v6 They have prepared a net for my steps; My soul is bowed down; They dug a pit before me; They themselves have fallen into the midst of it. Selah. v7 My heart is steadfast, O Almighty, my heart is steadfast; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises! v8 Awake, my glory; Awake, harp and lyre, I will awaken the dawn! v9 I will give thanks to Thee, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises to Thee among the nations. v10 For Thy lovingkindness is great to the heavens, And Thy truth to the clouds. v11 Be exalted above the heavens, O Almighty; Let Thy glory be above all the earth.

 

 

Psalm v58

 

58:1 For the choir director; set to Al-tashheth. A Mikhtam of David. Do you indeed speak righteousness, O gods? Do you judge uprightly, O sons of men? v2 No, in heart you work unrighteousness; On earth you weigh out the violence of your hands. v3 The wicked are estranged from the womb; These who speak lies go astray from birth. v4 They have venom like the venom of a serpent; Like a deaf cobra that stops up its ear, v5 So that it does not hear the voice of charmers, Or a skillful caster of spells. v6 O Almighty, shatter their teeth in their mouth; Break out the fangs of the young lions, O יַהְוֶה. v7 Let them flow away like water that runs off; When he aims his arrows, let them be as headless shafts. v8 Let them be as a snail which melts away as it goes along, Like the miscarriages of a woman which never see the sun. v9 Before your pots can feel the fire of thorns, He will sweep them away with a whirlwind, the green and the burning alike. v10 The righteous will rejoice when he sees the vengeance; He will wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. v11 And men will say, "Surely there is a reward for the righteous; Surely there is an Almighty who judges on earth!"

 

 

Psalm v59

 

59:1 For the choir director; set to Al-tashheth. A Mikhtam of David, when Saul sent men, and they watched the house in order to kill him. Deliver me from my enemies, O my Almighty; Set me securely on high away from those who rise up against me. v2 Deliver me from those who do iniquity, And save me from men of bloodshed. v3 For behold, they have set an ambush for my life; Fierce men launch an attack against me, Not for my transgression nor for my sin, O יַהְוֶה, v4 For no guilt of mine, they run and set themselves against me. Arouse Thyself to help me, and see! v5 And Thou, O יַהְוֶה Almighty of hosts, the Almighty of Israel, Awake to punish all the nations; Do not be gracious to any who are treacherous in iniquity. Selah. v6 They return at evening, they howl like a dog, And go around the city. v7 Behold, they belch forth with their mouth; Swords are in their lips, For, they say, "Who hears?" v8 But Thou, O יַהְוֶה, dost laugh at them; Thou dost scoff at all the nations. v9 Because of his strength I will watch for Thee, For the Almighty is my stronghold. v10 My Almighty in His lovingkindness will meet me; the Almighty will let me look triumphantly upon my foes. v11 Do not slay them, lest my people forget; Scatter them by Thy power, and bring them down, O Lord, our shield. v12 On account of the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips, Let them even be caught in their pride, And on account of curses and lies which they utter. v13 Destroy them in wrath, destroy them, that they may be no more; That men may know that the Almighty rules in Jacob, To the ends of the earth. Selah. v14 And they return at evening, they howl like a dog, And go around the city. v15 They wander about for food, And growl if they are not satisfied. v16 But as for me, I shall sing of Thy strength; Yes, I shall joyfully sing of Thy lovingkindness in the morning, For Thou hast been my stronghold, And a refuge in the day of my distress. v17 O my strength, I will sing praises to Thee; For the Almighty is my stronghold, the Almighty who shows me lovingkindness.

60:1 For the choir director; according to Shushan Eduth. A Mikhtam of David, to teach; when he struggled with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt. O Almighty, Thou hast rejected us. Thou hast broken us; Thou hast been angry; O, restore us. v2 Thou hast made the land quake, Thou hast split it open; Heal its breaches, for it totters. v3 Thou hast made Thy people experience hardship; Thou hast given us wine to drink that makes us stagger. v4 Thou hast given a banner to those who fear Thee, That it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah. v5 That Thy beloved may be delivered, Save with Thy right hand, and answer us! v6 The Almighty has spoken in His holiness: "I will exult, I will portion out Shechem and measure out the valley of Succoth. v7 "Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim also is the helmet of My head; Judah is My scepter. v8 "Moab is My washbowl; Over Edom I shall throw My shoe; Shout loud, O Philistia, because of Me!" v9 Who will bring me into the besieged city? Who will lead me to Edom? v10 Hast not Thou Thyself, O Almighty, rejected us? And wilt Thou not go forth with our armies, O Almighty? v11 O give us help against the adversary, For deliverance by man is in vain. v12 Through the Almighty we shall do valiantly, And it is He who will tread down our adversaries.

Selah. v5 For Thou hast heard my vows, O Almighty; Thou hast given me the inheritance of those who fear Thy name. v6 Thou wilt prolong the king's life; His years will be as many generations. v7 He will abide before the Almighty forever; Appoint lovingkindness and truth, that they may preserve him. v8 So I will sing praise to Thy name forever, That I may pay my vows day by day.

62:1 For the choir director; according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. My soul waits in silence for the Almighty only; From Him is my salvation. v2 He only is my rock and my salvation, My stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken. v3 How long will you assail a man, That you may murder him, all of you, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence? v4 They have counseled only to thrust him down from his high position; They delight in falsehood; They bless with their mouth, But inwardly they curse. Selah. v5 My soul, wait in silence for the Almighty only, For my hope is from Him. v6 He only is my rock and my salvation, My stronghold; I shall not be shaken. v7 On the Almighty my salvation and my glory rest; The rock of my strength, my refuge is in the Almighty. v8 Trust in Him at all times, O people; Pour out your heart before Him; the Almighty is a refuge for us. Selah. v9 Men of low degree are only vanity, and men of rank are a lie; In the balances they go up; They are together lighter than breath. v10 Do not trust in oppression, And do not vainly hope in robbery; If riches increase, do not set your heart upon them. v11 Once the Almighty has spoken; Twice I have heard this: That power belongs to the Almighty; v12 And lovingkindness is Thine, O Lord, For Thou dost recompense a man according to his work.

Psalm v64

 

64:1 For the choir director. A Psalm of David. Hear my voice, O Almighty, in my complaint; Preserve my life from dread of the enemy. v2 Hide me from the secret counsel of evildoers, From the tumult of those who do iniquity, v3 Who have sharpened their tongue like a sword. They aimed bitter speech as their arrow, v4 To shoot from concealment at the blameless; Suddenly they shoot at him, and do not fear. v5 They hold fast to themselves an evil purpose; They talk of laying snares secretly; They say, "Who can see them?" v6 They devise injustices, saying, "We are ready with a well-conceived plot"; For the inward thought and the heart of a man are deep. v7 But the Almighty will shoot at them with an arrow; Suddenly they will be wounded. v8 So they will make him stumble; Their own tongue is against them; All who see them will shake the head. v9 Then all men will fear, And will declare the work of the Almighty, And will consider what He has done. v10 The righteous man will be glad in יַהְוֶה, and will take refuge in Him; And all the upright in heart will glory.

We will be satisfied with the goodness of Thy house, Thy holy temple. v5 By awesome deeds Thou dost answer us in righteousness, O Almighty of our salvation, Thou who art the trust of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest sea; v6 Who dost establish the mountains by His strength, Being girded with might; v7 Who dost still the roaring of the seas, The roaring of their waves, And the tumult of the peoples. v8 And they who dwell in the ends of the earth stand in awe of Thy signs; Thou dost make the dawn and the sunset shout for joy. v9 Thou dost visit the earth, and cause it to overflow; Thou dost greatly enrich it; The stream of the Almighty is full of water; Thou dost prepare their grain, for thus Thou dost prepare the earth. v10 Thou dost water its furrows abundantly; Thou dost settle its ridges; Thou dost soften it with showers; Thou dost bless its growth. v11 Thou hast crowned the year with Thy bounty, And Thy paths drip with fatness. v12 The pastures of the wilderness drip, And the hills gird themselves with rejoicing. v13 The meadows are clothed with flocks, And the valleys are covered with grain; They shout for joy, yes, they sing.

Selah. v8 Bless our Almighty, O peoples, And sound His praise abroad, v9 Who keeps us in life, And does not allow our feet to slip. v10 For Thou hast tried us, O Almighty; Thou hast refined us as silver is refined. v11 Thou didst bring us into the net; Thou didst lay an oppressive burden upon our loins. v12 Thou didst make men ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water; Yet Thou didst bring us out into a place of abundance. v13 I shall come into Thy house with burnt offerings; I shall pay Thee my vows, v14 Which my lips uttered And my mouth spoke when I was in distress. v15 I shall offer to Thee burnt offerings of fat beasts, With the smoke of rams; I shall make an offering of bulls with male goats. Selah. v16 Come and hear, all who fear the Almighty, And I will tell of what He has done for my soul. v17 I cried to Him with my mouth, And He was extolled with my tongue. v18 If I regard wickedness in my heart, The Lord will not hear; v19 But certainly the Almighty has heard; He has given heed to the voice of my prayer. v20 Blessed be the Almighty, Who has not turned away my prayer, Nor His lovingkindness from me.

Surely, יַהְוֶה will dwell there forever. v17 The chariots of the Almighty are myriads, thousands upon thousands; The Lord is among them as at Sinai, in holiness. v18 Thou hast ascended on high, Thou hast led captive Thy captives; Thou hast received gifts among men, Even among the rebellious also, that יָהּ Almighty may dwell there. v19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden, The Almighty who is our salvation. Selah. v20 The Almighty is to us an Almighty of deliverances; And to the Almighty the Lord belong escapes from death. v21 Surely the Almighty will shatter the head of His enemies, The hairy crown of him who goes on in his guilty deeds. v22 The Lord said, "I will bring them back from Bashan. I will bring them back from the depths of the sea; v23 That your foot may shatter them in blood, The tongue of your dogs may have its portion from your enemies." v24 They have seen Thy procession, O Almighty, The procession of my Almighty, my King, into the sanctuary. v25 The singers went on, the musicians after them, In the midst of the maidens beating tambourines. v26 Bless the Almighty in the congregations, Even יַהְוֶה, you who are of the fountain of Israel. v27 There is Benjamin, the youngest, ruling them, The princes of Judah in their throng, The princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali. v28 Your Almighty has commanded your strength; Show Thyself strong, O Almighty, who hast acted on our behalf. v29 Because of Thy temple at Jerusalem Kings will bring gifts to Thee. v30 Rebuke the beasts in the reeds, The herd of bulls with the calves of the peoples, Trampling under foot the pieces of silver; He has scattered the peoples who delight in war. v31 Envoys will come out of Egypt; Ethiopia will quickly stretch out her hands to the Almighty. v32 Sing to the Almighty, O kingdoms of the earth; Sing praises to the Lord, Selah. v33 To Him who rides upon the highest heavens, which are from ancient times; Behold, He speaks forth with His voice, a mighty voice. v34 Ascribe strength to the Almighty; His majesty is over Israel, And His strength is in the skies. v35 O Almighty, Thou art awesome from Thy sanctuary. The Almighty of Israel Himself gives strength and power to the people. Blessed be the Almighty!

 

 

Psalm v69

 

69:1 For the choir director; according to Shoshannim. A Psalm of David. Save me, O Almighty, For the waters have threatened my life. v2 I have sunk in deep mire, and there is no foothold; I have come into deep waters, and a flood overflows me. v3 I am weary with my crying; my throat is parched; My eyes fail while I wait for my Almighty. v4 Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head; Those who would destroy me are powerful, being wrongfully my enemies, What I did not steal, I then have to restore. v5 O Almighty, it is Thou who dost know my folly, And my wrongs are not hidden from Thee. v6 May those who wait for Thee not be ashamed through me, My Lord יַהְוֶה of hosts; May those who seek Thee not be dishonored through me, O Almighty of Israel, v7 Because for Thy sake I have borne reproach; Dishonor has covered my face. v8 I have become estranged from my brothers, And an alien to my mother's sons. v9 For zeal for Thy house has consumed me, And the reproaches of those who reproach Thee have fallen on me. v10 When I wept in my soul with fasting, It became my reproach. v11 When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a byword to them. v12 Those who sit in the gate talk about me, And I am the song of the drunkards. v13 But as for me, my prayer is to Thee, O יַהְוֶה, at an acceptable time; O Almighty, in the greatness of Thy lovingkindness, Answer me with Thy saving truth. v14 Deliver me from the mire, and do not let me sink; May I be delivered from my foes, and from the deep waters. v15 May the flood of water not overflow me, And may the deep not swallow me up, And may the pit not shut its mouth on me. v16 Answer me, O יַהְוֶה, for Thy lovingkindness is good; According to the greatness of Thy compassion, turn to me, v17 And do not hide Thy face from Thy servant, For I am in distress; answer me quickly. v18 Oh draw near to my soul and redeem it; Ransom me because of my enemies! v19 Thou dost know my reproach and my shame and my dishonor; All my adversaries are before Thee. v20 Reproach has broken my heart, and I am so sick. And I looked for sympathy, but there was none, And for comforters, but I found none. v21 They also gave me gall for my food, And for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. v22 May their table before them become a snare; And when they are in peace, may it become a trap. v23 May their eyes grow dim so that they cannot see, And make their loins shake continually. v24 Pour out Thine indignation on them, And may Thy burning anger overtake them. v25 May their camp be desolate; May none dwell in their tents. v26 For they have persecuted him whom Thou Thyself hast smitten, And they tell of the pain of those whom Thou hast wounded. v27 Do Thou add iniquity to their iniquity, And may they not come into Thy righteousness. v28 May they be blotted out of the book of life, And may they not be recorded with the righteous. v29 But I am afflicted and in pain; May Thy salvation, O Almighty, set me securely on high. v30 I will praise the name of the Almighty with song, And shall magnify Him with thanksgiving. v31 And it will please יַהְוֶה better than an ox Or a young bull with horns and hoofs. v32 The humble have seen it and are glad; You who seek the Almighty, let your heart revive. v33 For יַהְוֶה hears the needy, And does not despise His who are prisoners. v34 Let heaven and earth praise Him, The seas and everything that moves in them. v35 For the Almighty will save Zion and build the cities of Judah, That they may dwell there and possess it. v36 And the descendants of His servants will inherit it, And those who love His name will dwell in it.

Thou art my help and my deliverer; O יַהְוֶה, do not delay.

 

 

Psalm v71

 

71:1 In Thee, O יַהְוֶה, I have taken refuge; Let me never be ashamed. v2 In Thy righteousness deliver me, and rescue me; Incline Thine ear to me, and save me. v3 Be Thou to me a rock of habitation, to which I may continually come; Thou hast given commandment to save me, For Thou art my rock and my fortress. v4 Rescue me, O my Almighty, out of the hand of the wicked, Out of the grasp of the wrongdoer and ruthless man, v5 For Thou art my hope; My Lord יַהְוֶה, Thou art my confidence from my youth. v6 By Thee I have been sustained from my birth; Thou art He who took me from my mother's womb; My praise is continually of Thee. v7 I have become a marvel to many; For Thou art my strong refuge. v8 My mouth is filled with Thy praise, And with Thy glory all day long. v9 Do not cast me off in the time of old age; Do not forsake me when my strength fails. v10 For my enemies have spoken against me; And those who watch for my life have consulted together, v11 Saying, "The Almighty has forsaken him; Pursue and seize him, for there is no one to deliver." v12 O Almighty, do not be far from me; O my Almighty, hasten to my help! v13 Let those who are adversaries of my soul be ashamed and consumed; Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor, who seek to injure me. v14 But as for me, I will hope continually, And will praise Thee yet more and more. v15 My mouth shall tell of Thy righteousness, And of Thy salvation all day long; For I do not know the sum of them. v16 I will come with the mighty deeds of the My Lord יַהְוֶה; I will make mention of Thy righteousness, Thine alone. v17 O Almighty, Thou hast taught me from my youth; And I still declare Thy wondrous deeds. v18 And even when I am old and gray, O Almighty, do not forsake me, Until I declare Thy strength to this generation, Thy power to all who are to come. v19 For Thy righteousness, O Almighty, reaches to the heavens, Thou who hast done great things; O Almighty, who is like Thee? v20 Thou, who hast shown me many troubles and distresses, Wilt revive me again, And wilt bring me up again from the depths of the earth. v21 Mayest Thou increase my greatness, And turn to comfort me. v22 I will also praise Thee with a harp, Even Thy truth, O my Almighty; To Thee I will sing praises with the lyre, O Thou Holy One of Israel. v23 My lips will shout for joy when I sing praises to Thee; And my soul, which Thou hast redeemed. v24 My tongue also will utter Thy righteousness all day long; For they are ashamed, for they are humiliated who seek my hurt.

 

 

Psalm v72

 

72:1 A Psalm of Solomon. Give the king Thy judgments, O Almighty, And Thy righteousness to the king's son. v2 May he judge Thy people with righteousness, And Thine afflicted with justice. v3 Let the mountains bring peace to the people, And the hills in righteousness. v4 May he vindicate the afflicted of the people, Save the children of the needy, And crush the oppressor. v5 Let them fear Thee while the sun endures, And as long as the moon, throughout all generations. v6 May he come down like rain upon the mown grass, Like showers that water the earth. v7 In his days may the righteous flourish, And abundance of peace till the moon is no more. v8 May he also rule from sea to sea, And from the River to the ends of the earth. v9 Let the nomads of the desert bow before him; And his enemies lick the dust. v10 Let the kings of Tarshish and of the islands bring presents; The kings of Sheba and Seba offer gifts. v11 And let all kings bow down before him, All nations serve him. v12 For he will deliver the needy when he cries for help, The afflicted also, and him who has no helper. v13 He will have compassion on the poor and needy, And the lives of the needy he will save. v14 He will rescue their life from oppression and violence; And their blood will be precious in his sight; v15 So may he live; and may the gold of Sheba be given to him; And let them pray for him continually; Let them bless him all day long. v16 May there be abundance of grain in the earth on top of the mountains; Its fruit will wave like the cedars of Lebanon; And may those from the city flourish like vegetation of the earth. v17 May his name endure forever; May his name increase as long as the sun shines; And let men bless themselves by him; Let all nations call him blessed. v18 Blessed be יַהְוֶה Almighty, the Almighty of Israel, Who alone works wonders. v19 And blessed be His glorious name forever; And may the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen, and Amen. v20 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.

 

 

Psalm v73

 

73:1 A Psalm of Asaph. Surely the Almighty is good to Israel, To those who are pure in heart! v2 But as for me, my feet came close to stumbling; My steps had almost slipped. v3 For I was envious of the arrogant, As I saw the prosperity of the wicked. v4 For there are no pains in their death; And their body is fat. v5 They are not in trouble as other men; Nor are they plagued like mankind. v6 Therefore pride is their necklace; The garment of violence covers them. v7 Their eye bulges from fatness; The imaginations of their heart run riot. v8 They mock, and wickedly speak of oppression; They speak from on high. v9 They have set their mouth against the heavens, And their tongue parades through the earth. v10 Therefore his people return to this place; And waters of abundance are drunk by them. v11 And they say, "How does the Almighty know? And is there knowledge with the Most High?" v12 Behold, these are the wicked; And always at ease, they have increased in wealth. v13 Surely in vain I have kept my heart pure, And washed my hands in innocence; v14 For I have been stricken all day long, And chastened every morning. v15 If I had said, "I will speak thus," Behold, I should have betrayed the generation of Thy children. v16 When I pondered to understand this, It was troublesome in my sight v17 Until I came into the sanctuary of the Almighty; Then I perceived their end. v18 Surely Thou dost set them in slippery places; Thou dost cast them down to destruction. v19 How they are destroyed in a moment! They are utterly swept away by sudden terrors! v20 Like a dream when one awakes, O Lord, when aroused, Thou wilt despise their form. v21 When my heart was embittered, And I was pierced within, v22 Then I was senseless and ignorant; I was like a beast before Thee. v23 Nevertheless I am continually with Thee; Thou hast taken hold of my right hand. v24 With Thy counsel Thou wilt guide me, And afterward receive me to glory. v25 Whom have I in heaven but Thee? And besides Thee, I desire nothing on earth. v26 My flesh and my heart may fail, But the Almighty is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. v27 For, behold, those who are far from Thee will perish; Thou hast destroyed all those who are unfaithful to Thee. v28 But as for me, the nearness of the Almighty is my good; I have made the My Lord יַהְוֶה my refuge, That I may tell of all Thy works.

 

 

Psalm v74

 

74:1 A Maskil of Asaph. O Almighty, why hast Thou rejected us forever? Why does Thine anger smoke against the sheep of Thy pasture? v2 Remember Thy congregation, which Thou hast purchased of old, Which Thou hast redeemed to be the tribe of Thine inheritance; And this Mount Zion, where Thou hast dwelt. v3 Turn Thy footsteps toward the perpetual ruins; The enemy has damaged everything within the sanctuary. v4 Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of Thy meeting place; They have set up their own standards for signs. v5 It seems as if one had lifted up His axe in a forest of trees. v6 And now all its carved work They smash with hatchet and hammers. v7 They have burned Thy sanctuary to the ground; They have defiled the dwelling place of Thy name. v8 They said in their heart, "Let us completely subdue them." They have burned all the meeting places of the Almighty in the land. v9 We do not see our signs; There is no longer any prophet, Nor is there any among us who knows how long. v10 How long, O Almighty, will the adversary revile, And the enemy spurn Thy name forever? v11 Why dost Thou withdraw Thy hand, even Thy right hand? From within Thy bosom, destroy them! v12 Yet the Almighty is my king from of old, Who works deeds of deliverance in the midst of the earth. v13 Thou didst divide the sea by Thy strength; Thou didst break the heads of the sea monsters in the waters. v14 Thou didst crush the heads of Leviathan; Thou didst give him as food for the creatures of the wilderness. v15 Thou didst break open springs and torrents; Thou didst dry up ever-flowing streams. v16 Thine is the day, Thine also is the night; Thou hast prepared the light and the sun. v17 Thou hast established all the boundaries of the earth; Thou hast made summer and winter. v18 Remember this, O יַהְוֶה, that the enemy has reviled; And a foolish people has spurned Thy name. v19 Do not deliver the soul of Thy turtledove to the wild beast; Do not forget the life of Thine afflicted forever. v20 Consider the covenant; For the dark places of the land are full of the habitations of violence. v21 Let not the oppressed return dishonored; Let the afflicted and needy praise Thy name. v22 Do arise, O Almighty, and plead Thine own cause; Remember how the foolish man reproaches Thee all day long. v23 Do not forget the voice of Thine adversaries, The uproar of those who rise against Thee which ascends continually.

We give thanks to Thee, O Almighty, we give thanks, For Thy name is near; Men declare Thy wondrous works. v2 "When I select an appointed time, It is I who judge with equity. v3 "The earth and all who dwell in it melt; It is I who have firmly set its pillars. Selah. v4 "I said to the boastful, 'Do not boast,' And to the wicked, 'Do not lift up the horn; v5 Do not lift up your horn on high, Do not speak with insolent pride.'" v6 For not from the east, nor from the west, Nor from the desert comes exaltation; v7 But the Almighty is the Judge; He puts down one, and exalts another. v8 For a cup is in the hand of יַהְוֶה, and the wine foams; It is well mixed, and He pours out of this; Surely all the wicked of the earth must drain and drink down its dregs. v9 But as for me, I will declare it forever; I will sing praises to the Almighty of Jacob. v10 And all the horns of the wicked He will cut off, But the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.

 

 

Psalm v76

 

76:1 For the choir director; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song. The Almighty is known in Judah; His name is great in Israel. v2 And His tabernacle is in Salem; His dwelling place also is in Zion. v3 There He broke the flaming arrows, The shield, and the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah. v4 Thou art resplendent, More majestic than the mountains of prey. v5 The stouthearted were plundered; They sank into sleep; And none of the warriors could use his hands. v6 At Thy rebuke, O Almighty of Jacob, Both rider and horse were cast into a dead sleep. v7 Thou, even Thou, art to be feared; And who may stand in Thy presence when once Thou art angry? v8 Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; The earth feared, and was still, v9 When the Almighty arose to judgment, To save all the humble of the earth. Selah. v10 For the wrath of man shall praise Thee; With a remnant of wrath Thou shalt gird Thyself. v11 Make vows to יַהְוֶה your Almighty and fulfill them; Let all who are around Him bring gifts to Him who is to be feared. v12 He will cut off the spirit of princes; He is feared by the kings of the earth.

 

 

Psalm v77

 

77:1 For the choir director; according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph. My voice rises to the Almighty, and I will cry aloud; My voice rises to the Almighty, and He will hear me. v2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord; In the night my hand was stretched out without weariness; My soul refused to be comforted. v3 When I remember the Almighty, then I am disturbed; When I sigh, then my spirit grows faint. Selah. v4 Thou hast held my eyelids open; I am so troubled that I cannot speak. v5 I have considered the days of old, The years of long ago. v6 I will remember my song in the night; I will meditate with my heart; And my spirit ponders. v7 Will the Lord reject forever? And will He never be favorable again? v8 Has His lovingkindness ceased forever? Has His promise come to an end forever? v9 Has the Almighty forgotten to be gracious? Or has He in anger withdrawn His compassion? Selah. v10 Then I said, "It is my grief, That the right hand of the Most High has changed." v11 I shall remember the deeds of יָהּ; Surely I will remember Thy wonders of old. v12 I will meditate on all Thy work, And muse on Thy deeds. v13 Thy way, O Almighty, is holy; What god is great like our Almighty? v14 Thou art the Almighty who workest wonders; Thou hast made known Thy strength among the peoples. v15 Thou hast by Thy power redeemed Thy people, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah. v16 The waters saw Thee, O Almighty; The waters saw Thee, they were in anguish; The deeps also trembled. v17 The clouds poured out water; The skies gave forth a sound; Thy arrows flashed here and there. v18 The sound of Thy thunder was in the whirlwind; The lightnings lit up the world; The earth trembled and shook. v19 Thy way was in the sea, And Thy paths in the mighty waters, And Thy footprints may not be known. v20 Thou didst lead Thy people like a flock, By the hand of Moses and Aaron.

 

 

Psalm v78

 

78:1 A Maskil of Asaph. Listen, O my people, to my instruction; Incline your ears to the words of my mouth. v2 I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old, v3 Which we have heard and known, And our fathers have told us. v4 We will not conceal them from their children, But tell to the generation to come the praises of יַהְוֶה, And His strength and His wondrous works that He has done. v5 For He established a testimony in Jacob, And appointed a law in Israel, Which He commanded our fathers, That they should teach them to their children, v6 That the generation to come might know, even the children yet to be born, That they may arise and tell them to their children, v7 That they should put their confidence in the Almighty, And not forget the works of the Almighty, But keep His commandments, v8 And not be like their fathers, A stubborn and rebellious generation, A generation that did not prepare its heart, And whose spirit was not faithful to the Almighty. v9 The sons of Ephraim were archers equipped with bows, Yet they turned back in the day of battle. v10 They did not keep the covenant of the Almighty, And refused to walk in His law; v11 And they forgot His deeds, And His miracles that He had shown them. v12 He wrought wonders before their fathers, In the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan. v13 He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; And He made the waters stand up like a heap. v14 Then He led them with the cloud by day, And all the night with a light of fire. v15 He split the rocks in the wilderness, And gave them abundant drink like the ocean depths. v16 He brought forth streams also from the rock, And caused waters to run down like rivers. v17 Yet they still continued to sin against Him, To rebel against the Most High in the desert. v18 And in their heart they put the Almighty to the test By asking food according to their desire. v19 Then they spoke against the Almighty; They said, "Can the Almighty prepare a table in the wilderness? v20 "Behold, He struck the rock, so that waters gushed out, And streams were overflowing; Can He give bread also? Will He provide meat for His people?" v21 Therefore יַהְוֶה heard and was full of wrath, And a fire was kindled against Jacob, And anger also mounted against Israel; v22 Because they did not believe in the Almighty, And did not trust in His salvation. v23 Yet He commanded the clouds above, And opened the doors of heaven; v24 And He rained down manna upon them to eat, And gave them food from heaven. v25 Man did eat the bread of angels; He sent them food in abundance. v26 He caused the east wind to blow in the heavens; And by His power He directed the south wind. v27 When He rained meat upon them like the dust, Even winged fowl like the sand of the seas, v28 Then He let them fall in the midst of their camp, Round about their dwellings. v29 So they ate and were well filled; And their desire He gave to them. v30 Before they had satisfied their desire, While their food was in their mouths, v31 The anger of the Almighty rose against them, And killed some of their stoutest ones, And subdued the choice men of Israel. v32 In spite of all this they still sinned, And did not believe in His wonderful works. v33 So He brought their days to an end in futility, And their years in sudden terror. v34 When He killed them, then they sought Him, And returned and searched diligently for the Almighty; v35 And they remembered that the Almighty was their rock, And the Most High Almighty their Redeemer. v36 But they deceived Him with their mouth, And lied to Him with their tongue. v37 For their heart was not steadfast toward Him, Nor were they faithful in His covenant. v38 But He, being compassionate, forgave their iniquity, and did not destroy them; And often He restrained His anger, And did not arouse all His wrath. v39 Thus He remembered that they were but flesh, A wind that passes and does not return. v40 How often they rebelled against Him in the wilderness, And grieved Him in the desert! v41 And again and again they tempted the Almighty, And pained the Holy One of Israel. v42 They did not remember His power, The day when He redeemed them from the adversary, v43 When He performed His signs in Egypt, And His marvels in the field of Zoan, v44 And turned their rivers to blood, And their streams, they could not drink. v45 He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them, And frogs which destroyed them. v46 He gave also their crops to the grasshopper, And the product of their labor to the locust. v47 He destroyed their vines with hailstones, And their sycamore trees with frost. v48 He gave over their cattle also to the hailstones, And their herds to bolts of lightning. v49 He sent upon them His burning anger, Fury, and indignation, and trouble, A band of destroying angels. v50 He leveled a path for His anger; He did not spare their soul from death, But gave over their life to the plague, v51 And smote all the first-born in Egypt, The first issue of their virility in the tents of Ham. v52 But He led forth His own people like sheep, And guided them in the wilderness like a flock; v53 And He led them safely, so that they did not fear; But the sea engulfed their enemies. v54 So He brought them to His holy land, To this hill country which His right hand had gained. v55 He also drove out the nations before them, And He apportioned them for an inheritance by measurement, And made the tribes of Israel dwell in their tents. v56 Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High Almighty, And did not keep His testimonies, v57 But turned back and acted treacherously like their fathers; They turned aside like a treacherous bow. v58 For they provoked Him with their high places, And aroused His jealousy with their graven images. v59 When the Almighty heard, He was filled with wrath, And greatly abhorred Israel; v60 So that He abandoned the dwelling place at Shiloh, The tent which He had pitched among men, v61 And gave up His strength to captivity, And His glory into the hand of the adversary. v62 He also delivered His people to the sword, And was filled with wrath at His inheritance. v63 Fire devoured His young men; And His virgins had no wedding songs. v64 His priests fell by the sword; And His widows could not weep. v65 Then the Lord awoke as if from sleep, Like a warrior overcome by wine. v66 And He drove His adversaries backward; He put on them an everlasting reproach. v67 He also rejected the tent of Joseph, And did not choose the tribe of Ephraim, v68 But chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion which He loved. v69 And He built His sanctuary like the heights, Like the earth which He has founded forever. v70 He also chose David His servant, And took him from the sheepfolds; v71 From the care of the ewes with suckling lambs He brought him, To shepherd Jacob His people, And Israel His inheritance. v72 So he shepherded them according to the integrity of his heart, And guided them with his skillful hands.

 

 

Psalm v79

 

79:1 A Psalm of Asaph. O Almighty, the nations have invaded Thine inheritance; They have defiled Thy holy temple; They have laid Jerusalem in ruins. v2 They have given the dead bodies of Thy servants for food to the birds of the heavens, The flesh of Thy godly ones to the beasts of the earth. v3 They have poured out their blood like water round about Jerusalem; And there was no one to bury them. v4 We have become a reproach to our neighbors, A scoffing and derision to those around us. v5 How long, O יַהְוֶה? Wilt Thou be angry forever? Will Thy jealousy burn like fire? v6 Pour out Thy wrath upon the nations which do not know Thee, And upon the kingdoms which do not call upon Thy name. v7 For they have devoured Jacob, And laid waste his habitation. v8 Do not remember the iniquities of our forefathers against us; Let Thy compassion come quickly to meet us; For we are brought very low. v9 Help us, O Almighty of our salvation, for the glory of Thy name; And deliver us, and forgive our sins, for Thy name's sake. v10 Why should the nations say, "Where is their Almighty?" Let there be known among the nations in our sight, Vengeance for the blood of Thy servants, which has been shed. v11 Let the groaning of the prisoner come before Thee; According to the greatness of Thy power preserve those who are doomed to die. v12 And return to our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom The reproach with which they have reproached Thee, O Lord. v13 So we Thy people and the sheep of Thy pasture Will give thanks to Thee forever; To all generations we will tell of Thy praise.

 

 

Psalm v80

 

80:1 For the choir director; set to El Shoshannim; Eduth. A Psalm of Asaph. Oh, give ear, Shepherd of Israel, Thou who dost lead Joseph like a flock; Thou who art enthroned above the cherubim, shine forth! v2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up Thy power, And come to save us! v3 O Almighty, restore us, And cause Thy face to shine upon us, and we will be saved. v4 O יַהְוֶה Almighty of hosts, How long wilt Thou be angry with the prayer of Thy people? v5 Thou hast fed them with the bread of tears, And Thou hast made them to drink tears in large measure. v6 Thou dost make us an object of contention to our neighbors; And our enemies laugh among themselves. v7 O Almighty of hosts, restore us, And cause Thy face to shine upon us, and we will be saved. v8 Thou didst remove a vine from Egypt; Thou didst drive out the nations, and didst plant it. v9 Thou didst clear the ground before it, And it took deep root and filled the land. v10 The mountains were covered with its shadow; And the cedars of the Almighty with its boughs. v11 It was sending out its branches to the sea, And its shoots to the River. v12 Why hast Thou broken down its hedges, So that all who pass that way pick its fruit? v13 A boar from the forest eats it away, And whatever moves in the field feeds on it. v14 O Almighty of hosts, turn again now, we beseech Thee; Look down from heaven and see, and take care of this vine, v15 Even the shoot which Thy right hand has planted, And on the son whom Thou hast strengthened for Thyself. v16 It is burned with fire, it is cut down; They perish at the rebuke of Thy countenance. v17 Let Thy hand be upon the man of Thy right hand, Upon the son of man whom Thou didst make strong for Thyself. v18 Then we shall not turn back from Thee; Revive us, and we will call upon Thy name. v19 O יַהְוֶה Almighty of hosts, restore us; Cause Thy face to shine upon us, and we will be saved.

 

 

Psalm v81

 

81:1 For the choir director; on the Gittith. A Psalm of Asaph. Sing for joy to the Almighty our strength; Shout joyfully to the Almighty of Jacob. v2 Raise a song, strike the timbrel, The sweet sounding lyre with the harp. v3 Blow in the new moon—a Shofar, and in the appointed time, for the day of our feast. v4 For it is a statute for Israel, An ordinance of the Almighty of Jacob. v5 He established it for a testimony in Joseph, When he went throughout the land of Egypt. I heard a language that I did not know: v6 "I relieved his shoulder of the burden, His hands were freed from the basket. v7 "You called in trouble, and I rescued you; I answered you in the hiding place of thunder; I proved you at the waters of Meribah. Selah. v8 "Hear, O My people, and I will admonish you; O Israel, if you would listen to Me! v9 "Let there be no strange god among you; Nor shall you worship any foreign god. v10 "I, יַהְוֶה, am your Almighty, Who brought you up from the land of Egypt; Open your mouth wide and I will fill it. v11 "But My people did not listen to My voice; And Israel did not obey Me. v12 "So I gave them over to the stubbornness of their heart, To walk in their own devices. v13 "Oh that My people would listen to Me, That Israel would walk in My ways! v14 "I would quickly subdue their enemies, And turn My hand against their adversaries. v15 "Those who hate יַהְוֶה would pretend obedience to Him; And their time of punishment would be forever. v16 "But I would feed you with the finest of the wheat; And with honey from the rock I would satisfy you."

 

 

Psalm v82

 

82:1 A Psalm of Asaph. The Almighty takes His stand in His own congregation; He judges in the midst of the rulers. v2 How long will you judge unjustly, And show partiality to the wicked? Selah. v3 Vindicate the weak and fatherless; Do justice to the afflicted and destitute. v4 Rescue the weak and needy; Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked. v5 They do not know nor do they understand; They walk about in darkness; All the foundations of the earth are shaken. v6 I said, "You are gods, And all of you are sons of the Most High. v7 "Nevertheless you will die like men, And fall like any one of the princes." v8 Arise, O Almighty, judge the earth! For it is Thou who dost possess all the nations.

 

 

Psalm v83

 

83:1 A Song, a Psalm of Asaph. O Almighty, do not remain quiet; Do not be silent and, O Almighty, do not be still. v2 For, behold, Thine enemies make an uproar; And those who hate Thee have exalted themselves. v3 They make shrewd plans against Thy people, And conspire together against Thy treasured ones. v4 They have said, "Come, and let us wipe them out as a nation, That the name of Israel be remembered no more." v5 For they have conspired together with one mind; Against Thee do they make a covenant: v6 The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites; v7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre; v8 Assyria also has joined with them; They have become a help to the children of Lot. Selah. v9 Deal with them as with Midian, As with Sisera and Jabin, at the torrent of Kishon, v10 Who were destroyed at En-dor, Who became as dung for the ground. v11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, And all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna, v12 Who said, "Let us possess for ourselves The pastures of the Almighty." v13 O my Almighty, make them like the whirling dust; Like chaff before the wind. v14 Like fire that burns the forest, And like a flame that sets the mountains on fire, v15 So pursue them with Thy tempest, And terrify them with Thy storm. v16 Fill their faces with dishonor, That they may seek Thy name, O יַהְוֶה. v17 Let them be ashamed and dismayed forever; And let them be humiliated and perish, v18 That they may know that Thou alone, whose name is יַהְוֶה, Art the Most High over all the earth.

 

 

Psalm v84

 

84:1 For the choir director; on the Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. How lovely are Thy dwelling places, O יַהְוֶה of hosts! v2 My soul longed and even yearned for the courts of יַהְוֶה; My heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living Almighty. v3 The bird also has found a house, And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, Even Thine altars, O יַהְוֶה of hosts, My King and my Almighty. v4 How blessed are those who dwell in Thy house! They are ever praising Thee. Selah. v5 How blessed is the man whose strength is in Thee; In whose heart are the highways to Zion! v6 Passing through the valley of Baca, they make it a spring, The early rain also covers it with blessings. v7 They go from strength to strength, Every one of them appears before the Almighty in Zion. v8 O יַהְוֶה Almighty of hosts, hear my prayer; Give ear, O Almighty of Jacob! Selah. v9 Behold our shield, O Almighty, And look upon the face of Thine anointed. v10 For a day in Thy courts is better than a thousand outside. I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my Almighty, Than dwell in the tents of wickedness. v11 For יַהְוֶה Almighty is a sun and shield; יַהְוֶה gives grace and glory; No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly. v12 O יַהְוֶה of hosts, How blessed is the man who trusts in Thee!

 

 

Psalm v85

 

85:1 For the choir director. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. O Lord, Thou didst show favor to Thy land; Thou didst restore the captivity of Jacob. v2 Thou didst forgive the iniquity of Thy people; Thou didst cover all their sin. Selah. v3 Thou didst withdraw all Thy fury; Thou didst turn away from Thy burning anger. v4 Restore us, O Almighty of our salvation, And cause Thine indignation toward us to cease. v5 Wilt Thou be angry with us forever? Wilt Thou prolong Thine anger to all generations? v6 Wilt Thou not Thyself revive us again, That Thy people may rejoice in Thee? v7 Show us Thy lovingkindness, O יַהְוֶה, And grant us Thy salvation. v8 I will hear what the Mighty יַהְוֶה will say; For He will speak peace to His people, to His godly ones; But let them not turn back to folly. v9 Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him, That glory may dwell in our land. v10 Lovingkindness and truth have met together; Righteousness and peace have kissed each other. v11 Truth springs from the earth; And righteousness looks down from heaven. v12 Indeed, יַהְוֶה will give what is good; And our land will yield its produce. v13 Righteousness will go before Him, And will make His footsteps into a way.

 

 

Psalm v86

 

86:1 A Prayer of David. Incline Thine ear, O יַהְוֶה, and answer me; For I am afflicted and needy. v2 Do preserve my soul, for I am a godly man; O Thou my Almighty, save Thy servant who trusts in Thee. v3 Be gracious to me, O Lord, For to Thee I cry all day long. v4 Make glad the soul of Thy servant, For to Thee, O Lord, I lift up my soul. v5 For Thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive, And abundant in lovingkindness to all who call upon Thee. v6 Give ear, O יַהְוֶה, to my prayer; And give heed to the voice of my supplications! v7 In the day of my trouble I shall call upon Thee, For Thou wilt answer me. v8 There is no one like Thee among the gods, O Lord; Nor are there any works like Thine. v9 All nations whom Thou hast made shall come and worship before Thee, O Lord; And they shall glorify Thy name. v10 For Thou art great and doest wondrous deeds; Thou alone art Almighty. v11 Teach me Thy way, O יַהְוֶה; I will walk in Thy truth; Unite my heart to fear Thy name. v12 I will give thanks to Thee, O Lord my Almighty, with all my heart, And will glorify Thy name forever. v13 For Thy lovingkindness toward me is great, And Thou hast delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol. v14 O Almighty, arrogant men have risen up against me, And a band of violent men have sought my life, And they have not set Thee before them. v15 But Thou, O Lord, art an Almighty merciful and gracious, Slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness and truth. v16 Turn to me, and be gracious to me; Oh grant Thy strength to Thy servant, And save the son of Thy handmaid. v17 Show me a sign for good, That those who hate me may see it, and be ashamed, Because Thou, O יַהְוֶה, hast helped me and comforted me.

 

 

Psalm v87

 

87:1 A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A Song. His foundation is in the holy mountains. v2 יַהְוֶה loves the gates of Zion More than all the other dwelling places of Jacob. v3 Glorious things are spoken of you, O city of the Almighty. Selah. v4 "I shall mention Rahab and Babylon among those who know Me; Behold, Philistia and Tyre with Ethiopia: 'This one was born there.'" v5 But of Zion it shall be said, "This one and that one were born in her"; And the Most High Himself will establish her. v6 יַהְוֶה shall count when He registers the peoples, "This one was born there." Selah. v7 Then those who sing as well as those who play the flutes shall say, "All my springs of joy are in you."

 

 

Psalm v88

 

88:1 A Song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. For the choir director; according to Mahalath Leannoth. A Maskil of Heman the Ezrahite. O Lord, the Almighty of my salvation, I have cried out by day and in the night before Thee. v2 Let my prayer come before Thee; Incline Thine ear to my cry! v3 For my soul has had enough troubles, And my life has drawn near to Sheol. v4 I am reckoned among those who go down to the pit; I have become like a man without strength, v5 Forsaken among the dead, Like the slain who lie in the grave, Whom Thou dost remember no more, And they are cut off from Thy hand. v6 Thou hast put me in the lowest pit, In dark places, in the depths. v7 Thy wrath has rested upon me, And Thou hast afflicted me with all Thy waves. Selah. v8 Thou hast removed my acquaintances far from me; Thou hast made me an object of loathing to them; I am shut up and cannot go out. v9 My eye has wasted away because of affliction; I have called upon Thee every day, O יַהְוֶה; I have spread out my hands to Thee. v10 Wilt Thou perform wonders for the dead? Will the departed spirits rise and praise Thee? Selah. v11 Will Thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave, Thy faithfulness in Abaddon? v12 Will Thy wonders be made known in the darkness? And Thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness? v13 But I, O יַהְוֶה, have cried out to Thee for help, And in the morning my prayer comes before Thee. v14 O יַהְוֶה, why dost Thou reject my soul? Why dost Thou hide Thy face from me? v15 I was afflicted and about to die from my youth on; I suffer Thy terrors; I am overcome. v16 Thy burning anger has passed over me; Thy terrors have destroyed me. v17 They have surrounded me like water all day long; They have encompassed me altogether. v18 Thou hast removed lover and friend far from me; My acquaintances are in darkness.

 

 

Psalm v89

 

89:1 A Maskil of Ethan the Ezrahite. I Will sing of the lovingkindness of יַהְוֶה forever; To all generations I will make known Thy faithfulness with my mouth. v2 For I have said, "Lovingkindness will be built up forever; In the heavens Thou wilt establish Thy faithfulness." v3 "I have made a covenant with My chosen; I have sworn to David My servant, v4 I will establish your seed forever, And build up your throne to all generations." Selah. v5 And the heavens will praise Thy wonders, O יַהְוֶה; Thy faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones. v6 For who in the skies is comparable to יַהְוֶה? Who among the sons of the mighty is like יַהְוֶה, v7 A Mighty One greatly feared in the council of the holy ones, And awesome above all those who are around Him? v8 O יַהְוֶה Almighty of hosts, who is like Thee, O mighty יָהּ? Thy faithfulness also surrounds Thee. v9 Thou dost rule the swelling of the sea; When its waves rise, Thou dost still them. v10 Thou Thyself didst crush Rahab like one who is slain; Thou didst scatter Thine enemies with Thy mighty arm. v11 The heavens are Thine, the earth also is Thine; The world and all it contains, Thou hast founded them. v12 The north and the south, Thou hast created them; Tabor and Hermon shout for joy at Thy name. v13 Thou hast a strong arm; Thy hand is mighty, Thy right hand is exalted. v14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Thy throne; Lovingkindness and truth go before Thee. v15 How blessed are the people who know the joyful sound! O יַהְוֶה, they walk in the light of Thy countenance. v16 In Thy name they rejoice all the day, And by Thy righteousness they are exalted. v17 For Thou art the glory of their strength, And by Thy favor our horn is exalted. v18 For our shield belongs to יַהְוֶה, And our king to the Holy One of Israel. v19 Once Thou didst speak in vision to Thy godly ones, And didst say, "I have given help to one who is mighty; I have exalted one chosen from the people. v20 "I have found David My servant; With My holy oil I have anointed him, v21 With whom My hand will be established; My arm also will strengthen him. v22 "The enemy will not deceive him, Nor the son of wickedness afflict him. v23 "But I shall crush his adversaries before him, And strike those who hate him. v24 "And My faithfulness and My lovingkindness will be with him, And in My name his horn will be exalted. v25 "I shall also set his hand on the sea, And his right hand on the rivers. v26 "He will cry to Me, 'Thou art my Father, My Almighty, and the rock of my salvation.' v27 "I also shall make him My first-born, The highest of the kings of the earth. v28 "My lovingkindness I will keep for him forever, And My covenant shall be confirmed to him. v29 "So I will establish his descendants forever, And his throne as the days of heaven. v30 "If his sons forsake My law, And do not walk in My judgments, v31 If they violate My statutes, And do not keep My commandments, v32 Then I will visit their transgression with the rod, And their iniquity with stripes. v33 "But I will not break off My lovingkindness from him, Nor deal falsely in My faithfulness. v34 "My covenant I will not violate, Nor will I alter the utterance of My lips. v35 "Once I have sworn by My holiness; I will not lie to David. v36 "His descendants shall endure forever, And his throne as the sun before Me. v37 "It shall be established forever like the moon, And the witness in the sky is faithful." Selah. v38 But Thou hast cast off and rejected, Thou hast been full of wrath against Thine anointed. v39 Thou hast spurned the covenant of Thy servant; Thou hast profaned his crown in the dust. v40 Thou hast broken down all his walls; Thou hast brought his strongholds to ruin. v41 All who pass along the way plunder him; He has become a reproach to his neighbors. v42 Thou hast exalted the right hand of his adversaries; Thou hast made all his enemies rejoice. v43 Thou dost also turn back the edge of his sword, And hast not made him stand in battle. v44 Thou hast made his splendor to cease, And cast his throne to the ground. v45 Thou hast shortened the days of his youth; Thou hast covered him with shame. Selah. v46 How long, O יַהְוֶה? Wilt Thou hide Thyself forever? Will Thy wrath burn like fire? v47 Remember what my span of life is; For what vanity Thou hast created all the sons of men! v48 What man can live and not see death? Can he deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah. v49 Where are Thy former lovingkindnesses, O Lord, Which Thou didst swear to David in Thy faithfulness? v50 Remember, O Lord, the reproach of Thy servants; How I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the many peoples, v51 With which Thine enemies have reproached, O יַהְוֶה, With which they have reproached the footsteps of Thine anointed. v52 Blessed be יַהְוֶה forever! Amen and Amen.

 

 

Psalm v90

 

90:1 A Prayer of Moses the man of the Almighty. Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. v2 Before the mountains were born, Or Thou didst give birth to the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, Thou art Almighty. v3 Thou dost turn man back into dust, And dost say, "Return, O children of men." v4 For a thousand years in Thy sight Are like yesterday when it passes by, Or as a watch in the night. v5 Thou hast swept them away like a flood, they fall asleep; In the morning they are like grass which sprouts anew. v6 In the morning it flourishes, and sprouts anew; Toward evening it fades, and withers away. v7 For we have been consumed by Thine anger, And by Thy wrath we have been dismayed. v8 Thou hast placed our iniquities before Thee, Our secret sins in the light of Thy presence. v9 For all our days have declined in Thy fury; We have finished our years like a sigh. v10 As for the days of our life, they contain seventy years, Or if due to strength, eighty years, Yet their pride is but labor and sorrow; For soon it is gone and we fly away. v11 Who understands the power of Thine anger, And Thy fury, according to the fear that is due Thee? v12 So teach us to number our days, That we may present to Thee a heart of wisdom. v13 Do return, O יַהְוֶה; how long will it be? And be sorry for Thy servants. v14 O satisfy us in the morning with Thy lovingkindness, That we may sing for joy and be glad all our days. v15 Make us glad according to the days Thou hast afflicted us, And the years we have seen evil. v16 Let Thy work appear to Thy servants, And Thy majesty to their children. v17 And let the favor of the Lord our Almighty be upon us; And do confirm for us the work of our hands; Yes, confirm the work of our hands.

 

 

Psalm v91

 

91:1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High Will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. v2 I will say to יַהְוֶה, "My refuge and my fortress, My Almighty, in whom I trust!" v3 For it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper, And from the deadly pestilence. v4 He will cover you with His pinions, And under His wings you may seek refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and bulwark. v5 You will not be afraid of the terror by night, Or of the arrow that flies by day; v6 Of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, Or of the destruction that lays waste at noon. v7 A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not approach you. v8 You will only look on with your eyes, And see the recompense of the wicked. v9 For you have made יַהְוֶה, my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place. v10 No evil will befall you, Nor will any plague come near your tent. v11 For He will give His angels charge concerning you, To guard you in all your ways. v12 They will bear you up in their hands, Lest you strike your foot against a stone. v13 You will tread upon the lion and cobra, The young lion and the serpent you will trample down. v14 "Because he has loved Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him securely on high, because he has known My name. v15 "He will call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him, and honor him. v16 "With a long life I will satisfy him, And let him behold My salvation."

 

 

Psalm v92

 

92:1 A Psalm, a Song for the Sabbath day. It is good to give thanks to יַהְוֶה, And to sing praises to Thy name, O Most High; v2 To declare Thy lovingkindness in the morning, And Thy faithfulness by night, v3 With the ten-stringed lute, and with the harp; With resounding music upon the lyre. v4 For Thou, O יַהְוֶה, hast made me glad by what Thou hast done, I will sing for joy at the works of Thy hands. v5 How great are Thy works, O יַהְוֶה! Thy thoughts are very deep. v6 A senseless man has no knowledge; Nor does a stupid man understand this: v7 That when the wicked sprouted up like grass, And all who did iniquity flourished, It was only that they might be destroyed forevermore. v8 But Thou, O יַהְוֶה, art on high forever. v9 For, behold, Thine enemies, O יַהְוֶה, For, behold, Thine enemies will perish; All who do iniquity will be scattered. v10 But Thou hast exalted my horn like that of the wild ox; I have been anointed with fresh oil. v11 And my eye has looked exultantly upon my foes, My ears hear of the evildoers who rise up against me. v12 The righteous man will flourish like the palm tree, He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon. v13 Planted in the house of יַהְוֶה, They will flourish in the courts of our Almighty. v14 They will still yield fruit in old age; They shall be full of sap and very green, v15 To declare that יַהְוֶה is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

 

 

Psalm v93

 

93:1 יַהְוֶה reigns, He is clothed with majesty; יַהְוֶה has clothed and girded Himself with strength; Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved. v2 Thy throne is established from of old; Thou art from everlasting. v3 The floods have lifted up, O יַהְוֶה, The floods have lifted up their voice; The floods lift up their pounding waves. v4 More than the sounds of many waters, Than the mighty breakers of the sea, יַהְוֶה on high is mighty. v5 Thy testimonies are fully confirmed; Holiness befits Thy house, O יַהְוֶה, forevermore.

 

 

Psalm v94

 

94:1 O Mighty One of vengeance; יַהְוֶה, Mighty of vengeance, shine forth! v2 Rise up, O Judge of the earth; Render recompense to the proud. v3 How long shall the wicked, O יַהְוֶה, How long shall the wicked exult? v4 They pour forth words, they speak arrogantly; All who do wickedness vaunt themselves. v5 They crush Thy people, O יַהְוֶה, And afflict Thy heritage. v6 They slay the widow and the stranger, And murder the orphans. v7 And they have said, "יָהּ does not see, Nor does the Almighty of Jacob pay heed." v8 Pay heed, you senseless among the people; And when will you understand, stupid ones? v9 He who planted the ear, does He not hear? He who formed the eye, does He not see? v10 He who chastens the nations, will He not rebuke, Even He who teaches man knowledge? v11 יַהְוֶה knows the thoughts of man, That they are a mere breath. v12 Blessed is the man whom Thou dost chasten, O יָהּ, And dost teach out of Thy Torah; v13 That Thou mayest grant him relief from the days of adversity, Until a pit is dug for the wicked. v14 For יַהְוֶה will not abandon His people, Nor will He forsake His inheritance. v15 For judgment will again be righteous; And all the upright in heart will follow it. v16 Who will stand up for me against evildoers? Who will take his stand for me against those who do wickedness? v17 If יַהְוֶה had not been my help, My soul would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence. v18 If I should say, "My foot has slipped," Thy lovingkindness, O יַהְוֶה, will hold me up. v19 When my anxious thoughts multiply within me, Thy consolations delight my soul. v20 Can a throne of destruction be allied with Thee, One which devises mischief by decree? v21 They band themselves together against the life of the righteous, And condemn the innocent to death. v22 But יַהְוֶה has been my stronghold, And my Almighty the rock of my refuge. v23 And He has brought back their wickedness upon them, And will destroy them in their evil; יַהְוֶה our Almighty will destroy them.

 

 

Psalm v95

 

95:1 O Come, let us sing for joy to יַהְוֶה; Let us shout joyfully to the rock of our salvation. v2 Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms. v3 For יַהְוֶה is a great Mighty One, And a great King above all gods, v4 In whose hand are the depths of the earth; The peaks of the mountains are His also. v5 The sea is His, for it was He who made it; And His hands formed the dry land. v6 Come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before יַהְוֶה our Maker. v7 For He is our Almighty, And we are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His hand. Today, if you would hear His voice, v8 Do not harden your hearts, as at Meribah, As in the day of Massah in the wilderness; v9 "When your fathers tested Me, They tried Me, though they had seen My work. v10 "For forty years I loathed that generation, And said they are a people who err in their heart, And they do not know My ways. v11 "Therefore I swore in My anger, Truly they shall not enter into My rest."

 

 

Psalm v96

 

96:1 Sing to יַהְוֶה a new song; Sing to יַהְוֶה, all the earth. v2 Sing to יַהְוֶה, bless His name; Proclaim good tidings of His salvation from day to day. v3 Tell of His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all the peoples. v4 For great is יַהְוֶה, and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods. v5 For all the gods of the peoples are idols, But יַהְוֶה made the heavens. v6 Splendor and majesty are before Him, Strength and beauty are in His sanctuary. v7 Ascribe to יַהְוֶה, O families of the peoples, Ascribe to יַהְוֶה glory and strength. v8 Ascribe to יַהְוֶה the glory of His name; Bring an offering, and come into His courts. v9 Worship יַהְוֶה in holy attire; Tremble before Him, all the earth. v10 Say among the nations, " יַהְוֶה reigns; Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved; He will judge the peoples with equity." v11 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; Let the sea roar, and all it contains; v12 Let the field exult, and all that is in it. Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy v13 Before יַהְוֶה, for He is coming; For He is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness, And the peoples in His faithfulness.

 

 

Psalm v97

 

97:1 יַהְוֶה reigns; let the earth rejoice; Let the many islands be glad. v2 Clouds and thick darkness surround Him; Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. v3 Fire goes before Him, And burns up His adversaries round about. v4 His lightnings lit up the world; The earth saw and trembled. v5 The mountains melted like wax at the presence of יַהְוֶה, At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. v6 The heavens declare His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His glory. v7 Let all those be ashamed who serve graven images, Who boast themselves of idols; Worship Him, all you gods. v8 Zion heard this and was glad, And the daughters of Judah have rejoiced Because of Thy judgments, O יַהְוֶה. v9 For Thou art יַהְוֶה Most High over all the earth; Thou art exalted far above all gods. v10 Hate evil, you who love יַהְוֶה, Who preserves the souls of His godly ones; He delivers them from the hand of the wicked. v11 Light is sown like seed for the righteous, And gladness for the upright in heart. v12 Be glad in יַהְוֶה, you righteous ones; And give thanks to His holy name.

 

 

Psalm v98

 

98:1 A Psalm. O Sing to יַהְוֶה a new song, For He has done wonderful things, His right hand and His holy arm have gained the victory for Him. v2 יַהְוֶה has made known His salvation; He has revealed His righteousness in the sight of the nations. v3 He has remembered His lovingkindness and His faithfulness to the house of Israel; All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our Almighty. v4 Shout joyfully to יַהְוֶה, all the earth; Break forth and sing for joy and sing praises. v5 Sing praises to יַהְוֶה with the lyre; With the lyre and the sound of melody. v6 With trumpets and the sound of the horn Shout joyfully before the King, יַהְוֶה. v7 Let the sea roar and all it contains, The world and those who dwell in it. v8 Let the rivers clap their hands; Let the mountains sing together for joy v9 Before יַהְוֶה; for He is coming to judge the earth; He will judge the world with righteousness, And the peoples with equity.

 

 

Psalm v99

 

99:1 יַהְוֶה reigns, let the peoples tremble; He is enthroned above the cherubim, let the earth shake! v2 יַהְוֶה is great in Zion, And He is exalted above all the peoples. v3 Let them praise Thy great and awesome name; Holy is He. v4 And the strength of the King loves justice; Thou hast established equity; Thou hast executed justice and righteousness in Jacob. v5 Exalt יַהְוֶה our Almighty, And worship at His footstool; Holy is He. v6 Moses and Aaron were among His priests, And Samuel was among those who called on His name; They called upon יַהְוֶה, and He answered them. v7 He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud; They kept His testimonies, And the statute that He gave them. v8 O יַהְוֶה our Almighty, Thou didst answer them; Thou wast a forgiving Mighty One to them, And yet an avenger of their evil deeds. v9 Exalt יַהְוֶה our Almighty, And worship at His holy hill; For holy is יַהְוֶה our Almighty.

 

 

Psalm v100

 

100:1 A Psalm for Thanksgiving. Shout joyfully to יַהְוֶה, all the earth. v2 Serve יַהְוֶה with gladness; Come before Him with joyful singing. v3 Know that יַהְוֶה Himself is Almighty; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. v4 Enter His gates with thanksgiving, And His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him; bless His name. v5 For יַהְוֶה is good; His lovingkindness is everlasting, And His faithfulness to all generations.

 

 

Psalm v101

 

101:1 A Psalm of David. I Will sing of lovingkindness and justice, To Thee, O יַהְוֶה, I will sing praises. v2 I will give heed to the blameless way. When wilt Thou come to me? I will walk within my house in the integrity of my heart. v3 I will set no worthless thing before my eyes; I hate the work of those who fall away; It shall not fasten its grip on me. v4 A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will know no evil. v5 Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, him I will destroy; No one who has a haughty look and an arrogant heart will I endure. v6 My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; He who walks in a blameless way is the one who will minister to me. v7 He who practices deceit shall not dwell within my house; He who speaks falsehood shall not maintain his position before me. v8 Every morning I will destroy all the wicked of the land, So as to cut off from the city of יַהְוֶה all those who do iniquity.

 

 

Psalm v102

 

102:1 A Prayer of the Afflicted, when he is faint, and pours out his complaint before the Lord. Hear my prayer, O יַהְוֶה! And let my cry for help come to Thee. v2 Do not hide Thy face from me in the day of my distress; Incline Thine ear to me; In the day when I call answer me quickly. v3 For my days have been consumed in smoke, And my bones have been scorched like a hearth. v4 My heart has been smitten like grass and has withered away, Indeed, I forget to eat my bread. v5 Because of the loudness of my groaning My bones cling to my flesh. v6 I resemble a pelican of the wilderness; I have become like an owl of the waste places. v7 I lie awake, I have become like a lonely bird on a housetop. v8 My enemies have reproached me all day long; Those who deride me have used my name as a curse. v9 For I have eaten ashes like bread, And mingled my drink with weeping, v10 Because of Thine indignation and Thy wrath; For Thou hast lifted me up and cast me away. v11 My days are like a lengthened shadow; And I wither away like grass. v12 But Thou, O יַהְוֶה, dost abide forever; And Thy name to all generations. v13 Thou wilt arise and have compassion on Zion; For it is time to be gracious to her, For the appointed time has come. v14 Surely Thy servants find pleasure in her stones, And feel pity for her dust. v15 So the nations will fear the name of יַהְוֶה, And all the kings of the earth Thy glory. v16 For יַהְוֶה has built up Zion; He has appeared in His glory. v17 He has regarded the prayer of the destitute, And has not despised their prayer. v18 This will be written for the generation to come; That a people yet to be created may praise ּהָי. v19 For He looked down from His holy height; From heaven יַהְוֶה gazed upon the earth, v20 To hear the groaning of the prisoner; To set free those who were doomed to death; v21 That men may tell of the name of יַהְוֶה in Zion, And His praise in Jerusalem; v22 When the peoples are gathered together, And the kingdoms, to serve יַהְוֶה. v23 He has weakened my strength in the way; He has shortened my days. v24 I say, "O my Almighty, do not take me away in the midst of my days, Thy years are throughout all generations. v25 "Of old Thou didst found the earth; And the heavens are the work of Thy hands. v26 "Even they will perish, but Thou dost endure; And all of them will wear out like a garment; Like clothing Thou wilt change them, and they will be changed. v27 "But Thou art the same, And Thy years will not come to an end. v28 "The children of Thy servants will continue, And their descendants will be established before Thee."

 

 

Psalm v103

 

103:1 A Psalm of David. Bless יַהְוֶה, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name. v2 Bless יַהְוֶה, O my soul, And forget none of His benefits; v3 Who pardons all your iniquities; Who heals all your diseases; v4 Who redeems your life from the pit; Who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion; v5 Who satisfies your years with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle. v6 יַהְוֶה performs righteous deeds, And judgments for all who are oppressed. v7 He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the sons of Israel. v8 יַהְוֶה is compassionate and gracious, Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness. v9 He will not always strive with us; Nor will He keep His anger forever. v10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. v11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, So great is His lovingkindness toward those who fear Him. v12 As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us. v13 Just as a father has compassion on his children, So יַהְוֶה has compassion on those who fear Him. v14 For He Himself knows our frame; He is mindful that we are but dust. v15 As for man, his days are like grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourishes. v16 When the wind has passed over it, it is no more; And its place acknowledges it no longer. v17 But the lovingkindness of יַהְוֶה is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him, And His righteousness to children's children, v18 To those who keep His covenant, And who remember His precepts to do them. v19 יַהְוֶה has established His throne in the heavens; And His sovereignty rules over all. v20 Bless יַהְוֶה, you His angels, Mighty in strength, who perform His word, Obeying the voice of His word! v21 Bless יַהְוֶה, all you His hosts, You who serve Him, doing His will. v22 Bless יַהְוֶה, all you works of His, In all places of His dominion; Bless יַהְוֶה, O my soul!

 

 

Psalm v104

 

104:1 Bless יַהְוֶה, O my soul! O יַהְוֶה my Almighty, Thou art very great; Thou art clothed with splendor and majesty, v2 Covering Thyself with light as with a cloak, Stretching out heaven like a tent curtain. v3 He lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters; He makes the clouds His chariot; He walks upon the wings of the wind; v4 He makes the winds His messengers, Flaming fire His ministers. v5 He established the earth upon its foundations, So that it will not totter forever and ever. v6 Thou didst cover it with the deep as with a garment; The waters were standing above the mountains. v7 At Thy rebuke they fled; At the sound of Thy thunder they hurried away. v8 The mountains rose; the valleys sank down To the place which Thou didst establish for them. v9 Thou didst set a boundary that they may not pass over; That they may not return to cover the earth. v10 He sends forth springs in the valleys; They flow between the mountains; v11 They give drink to every beast of the field; The wild donkeys quench their thirst. v12 Beside them the birds of the heavens dwell; They lift up their voices among the branches. v13 He waters the mountains from His upper chambers; The earth is satisfied with the fruit of His works. v14 He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, And vegetation for the labor of man, So that he may bring forth food from the earth, v15 And wine which makes man's heart glad, So that he may make his face glisten with oil, And food which sustains man's heart. v16 The trees of יַהְוֶה drink their fill, The cedars of Lebanon which He planted, v17 Where the birds build their nests, And the stork, whose home is the fir trees. v18 The high mountains are for the wild goats; The cliffs are a refuge for the rock badgers. v19 He made the moon for the seasons; The sun knows the place of its setting. v20 Thou dost appoint darkness and it becomes night, In which all the beasts of the forest prowl about. v21 The young lions roar after their prey, And seek their food from the Almighty. v22 When the sun rises they withdraw, And lie down in their dens. v23 Man goes forth to his work And to his labor until evening. v24 O יַהְוֶה, how many are Thy works! In wisdom Thou hast made them all; The earth is full of Thy possessions. v25 There is the sea, great and broad, In which are swarms without number, Animals both small and great. v26 There the ships move along, And Leviathan, which Thou hast formed to sport in it. v27 They all wait for Thee, To give them their food in due season. v28 Thou dost give to them, they gather it up; Thou dost open Thy hand, they are satisfied with good. v29 Thou dost hide Thy face, they are dismayed; Thou dost take away their spirit, they expire, And return to their dust. v30 Thou dost send forth Thy Spirit, they are created; And Thou dost renew the face of the ground. v31 Let the glory of יַהְוֶה endure forever; Let יַהְוֶה be glad in His works; v32 He looks at the earth, and it trembles; He touches the mountains, and they smoke. v33 I will sing to יַהְוֶה as long as I live; I will sing praise to my Almighty while I have my being. v34 Let my meditation be pleasing to Him; As for me, I shall be glad in יַהְוֶה. v35 Let sinners be consumed from the earth, And let the wicked be no more. Bless יַהְוֶה, O my soul. Hallelu ּהָי!

 

 

Psalm v105

 

105:1 Oh give thanks to יַהְוֶה, call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples. v2 Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; Speak of all His wonders. v3 Glory in His holy name; Let the heart of those who seek יַהְוֶה be glad. v4 Seek יַהְוֶה and His strength; Seek His face continually. v5 Remember His wonders which He has done, His marvels, and the judgments uttered by His mouth, v6 O seed of Abraham, His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones! v7 He is יַהְוֶה our Almighty; His judgments are in all the earth. v8 He has remembered His covenant forever, The word which He commanded to a thousand generations, v9 The covenant which He made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac. v10 Then He confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel as an everlasting covenant, v11 Saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan As the portion of your inheritance," v12 When they were only a few men in number, Very few, and strangers in it. v13 And they wandered about from nation to nation, From one kingdom to another people. v14 He permitted no man to oppress them, And He reproved kings for their sakes: v15 "Do not touch My anointed ones, And do My prophets no harm." v16 And He called for a famine upon the land; He broke the whole staff of bread. v17 He sent a man before them, Joseph, who was sold as a slave. v18 They afflicted his feet with fetters, He himself was laid in irons; v19 Until the time that his word came to pass, The word of יַהְוֶה tested him. v20 The king sent and released him, The ruler of peoples, and set him free. v21 He made him lord of his house, And ruler over all his possessions, v22 To imprison his princes at will, That he might teach his elders wisdom. v23 Israel also came into Egypt; Thus Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham. v24 And He caused His people to be very fruitful, And made them stronger than their adversaries. v25 He turned their heart to hate His people, To deal craftily with His servants. v26 He sent Moses His servant, And Aaron whom He had chosen. v27 They performed His wondrous acts among them, And miracles in the land of Ham. v28 He sent darkness and made it dark; And they did not rebel against His words. v29 He turned their waters into blood, And caused their fish to die. v30 Their land swarmed with frogs Even in the chambers of their kings. v31 He spoke, and there came a swarm of flies And gnats in all their territory. v32 He gave them hail for rain, And flaming fire in their land. v33 He struck down their vines also and their fig trees, And shattered the trees of their territory. v34 He spoke, and locusts came, And young locusts, even without number, v35 And ate up all vegetation in their land, And ate up the fruit of their ground. v36 He also struck down all the first-born in their land, The first fruits of all their vigor. v37 Then He brought them out with silver and gold; And among His tribes there was not one who stumbled. v38 Egypt was glad when they departed; For the dread of them had fallen upon them. v39 He spread a cloud for a covering, And fire to illumine by night. v40 They asked, and He brought quail, And satisfied them with the bread of heaven. v41 He opened the rock, and water flowed out; It ran in the dry places like a river. v42 For He remembered His holy word With Abraham His servant; v43 And He brought forth His people with joy, His chosen ones with a joyful shout. v44 He gave them also the lands of the nations, That they might take possession of the fruit of the peoples' labor, v45 So that they might keep His statutes, And observe His laws, Hallelu ּהָי!

 

 

Psalm v106

 

106:1 Praise יַהְוֶה! Oh give thanks to יַהְוֶה, for He is good; For His lovingkindness is everlasting. v2 Who can speak of the mighty deeds of יַהְוֶה, Or can show forth all His praise? v3 How blessed are those who keep justice, Who practice righteousness at all times! v4 Remember me, O יַהְוֶה, in Thy favor toward Thy people; Visit me with Thy salvation, v5 That I may see the prosperity of Thy chosen ones, That I may rejoice in the gladness of Thy nation, That I may glory with Thine inheritance. v6 We have sinned like our fathers, We have committed iniquity, we have behaved wickedly. v7 Our fathers in Egypt did not understand Thy wonders; They did not remember Thine abundant kindnesses, But rebelled by the sea, at the Red Sea. v8 Nevertheless He saved them for the sake of His name, That He might make His power known. v9 Thus He rebuked the Red Sea and it dried up; And He led them through the deeps, as through the wilderness. v10 So He saved them from the hand of the one who hated them, And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy. v11 And the waters covered their adversaries; Not one of them was left. v12 Then they believed His words; They sang His praise. v13 They quickly forgot His works; They did not wait for His counsel, v14 But craved intensely in the wilderness, And tempted the Mighty One in the desert. v15 So He gave them their request, But sent a wasting disease among them. v16 When they became envious of Moses in the camp, And of Aaron, the holy one of יַהְוֶה, v17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, And engulfed the company of Abiram. v18 And a fire blazed up in their company; The flame consumed the wicked. v19 They made a calf in Horeb, And worshiped a molten image. v20 Thus they exchanged their glory For the image of an ox that eats grass. v21 They forgot the Mighty One their Savior, Who had done great things in Egypt, v22 Wonders in the land of Ham, And awesome things by the Red Sea. v23 Therefore He said that He would destroy them, Had not Moses His chosen one stood in the breach before Him, To turn away His wrath from destroying them. v24 Then they despised the pleasant land; They did not believe in His word, v25 But grumbled in their tents; They did not listen to the voice of יַהְוֶה. v26 Therefore He swore to them, That He would cast them down in the wilderness, v27 And that He would cast their seed among the nations, And scatter them in the lands. v28 They joined themselves also to Baal-peor, And ate sacrifices offered to the dead. v29 Thus they provoked Him to anger with their deeds; And the plague broke out among them. v30 Then Phinehas stood up and interposed; And so the plague was stayed. v31 And it was reckoned to him for righteousness, To all generations forever. v32 They also provoked Him to wrath at the waters of Meribah, So that it went hard with Moses on their account; v33 Because they were rebellious against His Spirit, He spoke rashly with his lips. v34 They did not destroy the peoples, As יַהְוֶה commanded them, v35 But they mingled with the nations, And learned their practices, v36 And served their idols, Which became a snare to them. v37 They even sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons, v38 And shed innocent blood, The blood of their sons and their daughters, Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; And the land was polluted with the blood. v39 Thus they became unclean in their practices, And played the harlot in their deeds. v40 Therefore the anger of יַהְוֶה was kindled against His people, And He abhorred His inheritance. v41 Then He gave them into the hand of the nations; And those who hated them ruled over them. v42 Their enemies also oppressed them, And they were subdued under their power. v43 Many times He would deliver them; They, however, were rebellious in their counsel, And so sank down in their iniquity. v44 Nevertheless He looked upon their distress, When He heard their cry; v45 And He remembered His covenant for their sake, And relented according to the greatness of His lovingkindness. v46 He also made them objects of compassion In the presence of all their captors. v47 Save us, O יַהְוֶה our Almighty, And gather us from among the nations, To give thanks to Thy holy name, And glory in Thy praise. v48 Blessed be יַהְוֶה, the Almighty of Israel, From everlasting even to everlasting. And let all the people say, "Amen." Hallelu ּהָי!

107:1 Oh give thanks to יַהְוֶה, for He is good; For His lovingkindness is everlasting. v2 Let the redeemed of יַהְוֶה say so, Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the adversary, v3 And gathered from the lands, From the east and from the west, From the north and from the south. v4 They wandered in the wilderness in a desert region; They did not find a way to an inhabited city. v5 They were hungry and thirsty; Their soul fainted within them. v6 Then they cried out to יַהְוֶה in their trouble; He delivered them out of their distresses. v7 He led them also by a straight way, To go to an inhabited city. v8 Let them give thanks to יַהְוֶה for His lovingkindness, And for His wonders to the sons of men! v9 For He has satisfied the thirsty soul, And the hungry soul He has filled with what is good. v10 There were those who dwelt in darkness and in the shadow of death, Prisoners in misery and chains, v11 Because they had rebelled against the words of the Almighty, And spurned the counsel of the Most High. v12 Therefore He humbled their heart with labor; They stumbled and there was none to help. v13 Then they cried out to יַהְוֶה in their trouble; He saved them out of their distresses. v14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, And broke their bands apart. v15 Let them give thanks to יַהְוֶה for His lovingkindness, And for His wonders to the sons of men! v16 For He has shattered gates of bronze, And cut bars of iron asunder. v17 Fools, because of their rebellious way, And because of their iniquities, were afflicted. v18 Their soul abhorred all kinds of food; And they drew near to the gates of death. v19 Then they cried out to יַהְוֶה in their trouble; He saved them out of their distresses. v20 He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions. v21 Let them give thanks to יַהְוֶה for His lovingkindness, And for His wonders to the sons of men! v22 Let them also offer sacrifices of thanksgiving, And tell of His works with joyful singing. v23 Those who go down to the sea in ships, Who do business on great waters; v24 They have seen the works of יַהְוֶה, And His wonders in the deep. v25 For He spoke and raised up a stormy wind, Which lifted up the waves of the sea. v26 They rose up to the heavens, they went down to the depths; Their soul melted away in their misery. v27 They reeled and staggered like a drunken man, And were at their wits' end. v28 Then they cried to יַהְוֶה in their trouble, And He brought them out of their distresses. v29 He caused the storm to be still, So that the waves of the sea were hushed. v30 Then they were glad because they were quiet; So He guided them to their desired haven. v31 Let them give thanks to יַהְוֶה for His lovingkindness, And for His wonders to the sons of men! v32 Let them extol Him also in the congregation of the people, And praise Him at the seat of the elders. v33 He changes rivers into a wilderness, And springs of water into a thirsty ground; v34 A fruitful land into a salt waste, Because of the wickedness of those who dwell in it. v35 He changes a wilderness into a pool of water, And a dry land into springs of water; v36 And there He makes the hungry to dwell, So that they may establish an inhabited city, v37 And sow fields, and plant vineyards, And gather a fruitful harvest. v38 Also He blesses them and they multiply greatly; And He does not let their cattle decrease. v39 When they are diminished and bowed down Through oppression, misery, and sorrow, v40 He pours contempt upon princes, And makes them wander in a pathless waste. v41 But He sets the needy securely on high away from affliction, And makes his families like a flock. v42 The upright see it, and are glad; But all unrighteousness shuts its mouth. v43 Who is wise? Let him give heed to these things; And consider the lovingkindnesses of יַהְוֶה.

 

 

Psalm v108

 

108:1 A Song, a Psalm of David. My heart is steadfast, O Almighty; I will sing, I will sing praises, even with my soul. v2 Awake, harp and lyre; I will awaken the dawn! v3 I will give thanks to Thee, O יַהְוֶה, among the peoples; And I will sing praises to Thee among the nations. v4 For Thy lovingkindness is great above the heavens; And Thy truth reaches to the skies. v5 Be exalted, O Almighty, above the heavens, And Thy glory above all the earth. v6 That Thy beloved may be delivered, Save with Thy right hand, and answer me! v7 The Almighty has spoken in His holiness: "I will exult, I will portion out Shechem, And measure out the valley of Succoth. v8 "Gilead is Mine, Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim also is the helmet of My head; Judah is My scepter. v9 "Moab is My washbowl; Over Edom I shall throw My shoe; Over Philistia I will shout aloud." v10 Who will bring me into the besieged city? Who will lead me to Edom? v11 Hast not Thou Thyself, O Almighty, rejected us? And wilt Thou not go forth with our armies, O Almighty? v12 Oh give us help against the adversary, For deliverance by man is in vain. v13 Through the Almighty we shall do valiantly; And it is He who will tread down our adversaries.

 

 

Psalm v109

 

109:1 For the choir director. A Psalm of David. O Almighty of my praise, Do not be silent! v2 For they have opened the wicked and deceitful mouth against me; They have spoken against me with a lying tongue. v3 They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, And fought against me without cause. v4 In return for my love they act as my accusers; But I am in prayer. v5 Thus they have repaid me evil for good, And hatred for my love. v6 Appoint a wicked man over him; And let an accuser stand at his right hand. v7 When he is judged, let him come forth guilty; And let his prayer become sin. v8 Let his days be few; Let another take his office. v9 Let his children be fatherless, And his wife a widow. v10 Let his children wander about and beg; And let them seek sustenance far from their ruined homes. v11 Let the creditor seize all that he has; And let strangers plunder the product of his labor. v12 Let there be none to extend lovingkindness to him, Nor any to be gracious to his fatherless children. v13 Let his posterity be cut off; In a following generation let their name be blotted out. v14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before יַהְוֶה, And do not let the sin of his mother be blotted out. v15 Let them be before יַהְוֶה continually, That He may cut off their memory from the earth; v16 Because he did not remember to show lovingkindness, But persecuted the afflicted and needy man, And the despondent in heart, to put them to death. v17 He also loved cursing, so it came to him; And he did not delight in blessing, so it was far from him. v18 But he clothed himself with cursing as with his garment, And it entered into his body like water, And like oil into his bones. v19 Let it be to him as a garment with which he covers himself, And for a belt with which he constantly girds himself. v20 Let this be the reward of my accusers from יַהְוֶה, And of those who speak evil against my soul. v21 But Thou, O Almighty, the Lord, deal kindly with me for Thy name's sake; Because Thy lovingkindness is good, deliver me; v22 For I am afflicted and needy, And my heart is wounded within me. v23 I am passing like a shadow when it lengthens; I am shaken off like the locust. v24 My knees are weak from fasting; And my flesh has grown lean, without fatness. v25 I also have become a reproach to them; When they see me, they wag their head. v26 Help me, O יַהְוֶה my Almighty; Save me according to Thy lovingkindness. v27 And let them know that this is Thy hand; Thou, יַהְוֶה, hast done it. v28 Let them curse, but do Thou bless; When they arise, they shall be ashamed, But Thy servant shall be glad. v29 Let my accusers be clothed with dishonor, And let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe. v30 With my mouth I will give thanks abundantly to יַהְוֶה; And in the midst of many I will praise Him. v31 For He stands at the right hand of the needy, To save him from those who judge his soul.

 

 

Psalm v110

 

110:1 A Psalm of David. יַהְוֶה says to my Lord: "Sit at My right hand, Until I make Thine enemies a footstool for Thy feet." v2 יַהְוֶה will stretch forth Thy strong scepter from Zion, saying, "Rule in the midst of Thine enemies." v3 Thy people will volunteer freely in the day of Thy power; In holy array, from the womb of the dawn, Thy youth are to Thee as the dew. v4 יַהְוֶה has sworn and will not change His mind, "Thou art a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek." v5 The Lord is at Thy right hand; He will shatter kings in the day of His wrath. v6 He will judge among the nations, He will fill them with corpses, He will shatter the chief men over a broad country. v7 He will drink from the brook by the wayside; Therefore He will lift up His head.

 

 

Psalm v111

 

111:1 Hallelu ּהָי! I will give thanks to יַהְוֶה with all my heart, In the company of the upright and in the assembly. v2 Great are the works of יַהְוֶה; They are studied by all who delight in them. v3 Splendid and majestic is His work; And His righteousness endures forever. v4 He has made His wonders to be remembered; יַהְוֶה is gracious and compassionate. v5 He has given food to those who fear Him; He will remember His covenant forever. v6 He has made known to His people the power of His works, In giving them the heritage of the nations. v7 The works of His hands are truth and justice; All His precepts are sure. v8 They are upheld forever and ever; They are performed in truth and uprightness. v9 He has sent redemption to His people; He has ordained His covenant forever; Holy and awesome is His name. v10 The fear of יַהְוֶה is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do His commandments; His praise endures forever.

 

 

Psalm v112

 

112:1 Hallelu ּהָי! How blessed is the man who fears יַהְוֶה, Who greatly delights in His commandments. v2 His descendants will be mighty on earth; The generation of the upright will be blessed. v3 Wealth and riches are in his house, And his righteousness endures forever. v4 Light arises in the darkness for the upright; He is gracious and compassionate and righteous. v5 It is well with the man who is gracious and lends; He will maintain his cause in judgment. v6 For he will never be shaken; The righteous will be remembered forever. v7 He will not fear evil tidings; His heart is steadfast, trusting in יַהְוֶה. v8 His heart is upheld, he will not fear, Until he looks with satisfaction on his adversaries. v9 He has given freely to the poor; His righteousness endures forever; His horn will be exalted in honor. v10 The wicked will see it and be vexed; He will gnash his teeth and melt away; The desire of the wicked will perish.

 

 

Psalm v113

 

113:1 Hallelu ּהָי! Praise, O servants of יַהְוֶה. Praise the name of יַהְוֶה. v2 Blessed be the name of יַהְוֶה From this time forth and forever. v3 From the rising of the sun to its setting The name of יַהְוֶה is to be praised. v4 יַהְוֶה is high above all nations; His glory is above the heavens. v5 Who is like יַהְוֶה our Almighty, Who is enthroned on high, v6 Who humbles Himself to behold The things that are in heaven and in the earth? v7 He raises the poor from the dust, And lifts the needy from the ash heap, v8 To make them sit with princes, With the princes of His people. v9 He makes the barren woman abide in the house As a joyful mother of children. Hallelu ּהָי!

 

 

Psalm v114

 

114:1 When Israel went forth from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language, v2 Judah became His sanctuary, Israel, His dominion. v3 The sea looked and fled; The Jordan turned back. v4 The mountains skipped like rams, The hills, like lambs. v5 What ails you, O sea, that you flee? O Jordan, that you turn back? v6 O mountains, that you skip like rams? O hills, like lambs? v7 Tremble, O earth, before the Lord, Before the Almighty of Jacob, v8 Who turned the rock into a pool of water, The flint into a fountain of water.

 

 

Psalm v115

 

115:1 Not to us, O יַהְוֶה, not to us, But to Thy name give glory Because of Thy lovingkindness, because of Thy truth. v2 Why should the nations say, "Where, now, is their Almighty?" v3 But our Almighty is in the heavens; He does whatever He pleases. v4 Their idols are silver and gold, The work of man's hands. v5 They have mouths, but they cannot speak; They have eyes, but they cannot see; v6 They have ears, but they cannot hear; They have noses, but they cannot smell; v7 They have hands, but they cannot feel; They have feet, but they cannot walk; They cannot make a sound with their throat. v8 Those who make them will become like them, Everyone who trusts in them. v9 O Israel, trust in יַהְוֶה; He is their help and their shield. v10 O house of Aaron, trust in יַהְוֶה; He is their help and their shield. v11 You who fear יַהְוֶה, trust in יַהְוֶה; He is their help and their shield. v12 יַהְוֶה has been mindful of us; He will bless us; He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron. v13 He will bless those who fear יַהְוֶה, The small together with the great. v14 May יַהְוֶה give you increase, You and your children. v15 May you be blessed of יַהְוֶה, Maker of heaven and earth. v16 The heavens are the heavens of יַהְוֶה; But the earth He has given to the sons of men. v17 The dead do not praise ּהָי, Nor do any who go down into silence; v18 But as for us, we will bless ּהָי From this time forth and forever. Hallelu ּהָי!

 

 

Psalm v116

 

116:1 I Love יַהְוֶה, because He hears My voice and my supplications. v2 Because He has inclined His ear to me, Therefore I shall call upon Him as long as I live. v3 The cords of death encompassed me, And the terrors of Sheol came upon me; I found distress and sorrow. v4 Then I called upon the name of יַהְוֶה: "O יַהְוֶה, I beseech Thee, save my life!" v5 Gracious is יַהְוֶה, and righteous; Yes, our Almighty is compassionate. v6 יַהְוֶה preserves the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me. v7 Return to your rest, O my soul, For יַהְוֶה has dealt bountifully with you. v8 For Thou hast rescued my soul from death, My eyes from tears, My feet from stumbling. v9 I shall walk before יַהְוֶה In the land of the living. v10 I believed when I said, "I am greatly afflicted." v11 I said in my alarm, "All men are liars." v12 What shall I render to יַהְוֶה For all His benefits toward me? v13 I shall lift up the cup of salvation, And call upon the name of יַהְוֶה. v14 I shall pay my vows to יַהְוֶה, Oh may it be in the presence of all His people. v15 Precious in the sight of יַהְוֶה Is the death of His godly ones. v16 O יַהְוֶה, surely I am Thy servant, I am Thy servant, the son of Thy handmaid, Thou hast loosed my bonds. v17 To Thee I shall offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving, And call upon the name of יַהְוֶה. v18 I shall pay my vows to יַהְוֶה, Oh may it be in the presence of all His people, v19 In the courts of יַהְוֶה's house, In the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Hallelu ּהָי!

Psalm v118

 

118:1 Give thanks to יַהְוֶה, for He is good; For His lovingkindness is everlasting. v2 Oh let Israel say, "His lovingkindness is everlasting." v3 Oh let the house of Aaron say, "His lovingkindness is everlasting." v4 Oh let those who fear יַהְוֶה say, "His lovingkindness is everlasting." v5 From my distress I called upon ּהָי; ּהָי answered me and set me in a large place. v6 יַהְוֶה is for me; I will not fear; What can man do to me? v7 יַהְוֶה is for me among those who help me; Therefore I shall look with satisfaction on those who hate me. v8 It is better to take refuge in יַהְוֶה Than to trust in man. v9 It is better to take refuge in יַהְוֶה Than to trust in princes. v10 All nations surrounded me; In the name of יַהְוֶה I will surely cut them off. v11 They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me; In the name of יַהְוֶה I will surely cut them off. v12 They surrounded me like bees; They were extinguished as a fire of thorns; In the name of יַהְוֶה I will surely cut them off. v13 You pushed me violently so that I was falling, But יַהְוֶה helped me. v14 ּהָי is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation. v15 The sound of joyful shouting and salvation is in the tents of the righteous; The right hand of יַהְוֶה does valiantly. v16 The right hand of יַהְוֶה is exalted; The right hand of יַהְוֶה does valiantly. v17 I shall not die, but live, And tell of the works of ּהָי. v18 ּהָי has disciplined me severely, But He has not given me over to death. v19 Open to me the gates of righteousness; I shall enter through them, I shall give thanks to ּהָי. v20 This is the gate of יַהְוֶה; The righteous will enter through it. v21 I shall give thanks to Thee, for Thou hast answered me; And Thou hast become my salvation. v22 The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief corner stone. v23 This is the LORD's doing; It is marvelous in our eyes. v24 This is the day which יַהְוֶה has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it. v25 O יַהְוֶה, do save, we beseech Thee; O יַהְוֶה, we beseech Thee, do send prosperity! v26 Blessed is the one who comes in the name of יַהְוֶה; We have blessed you from the house of יַהְוֶה. v27 יַהְוֶה is Almighty, and He has given us light; Bind the festival sacrifice with cords to the horns of the altar. v28 Thou art my Almighty, and I give thanks to Thee; Thou art my Almighty, I extol Thee. v29 Give thanks to יַהְוֶה, for He is good; For His lovingkindness is everlasting.

Hallelu ּהָי!

Psalm v137

 

137:1 By the rivers of Babylon, There we sat down and wept, When we remembered Zion. v2 Upon the willows in the midst of it We hung our harps. v3 For there our captors demanded of us songs, And our tormentors mirth, saying, "Sing us one of the songs of Zion." v4 How can we sing the LORD's song In a foreign land? v5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem, May my right hand forget her skill. v6 May my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, If I do not remember you, If I do not exalt Jerusalem Above my chief joy. v7 Remember, O יַהְוֶה, against the sons of Edom The day of Jerusalem, Who said, "Raze it, raze it, To its very foundation." v8 O daughter of Babylon, you devastated one, How blessed will be the one who repays you With the recompense with which you have repaid us. v9 How blessed will be the one who seizes and dashes your little ones Against the rock.

138:1 A Psalm of David.

For great is the glory of יַהְוֶה. v6 For though יַהְוֶה is exalted, Yet He regards the lowly; But the haughty He knows from afar. v7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, Thou wilt revive me; Thou wilt stretch forth Thy hand against the wrath of my enemies, And Thy right hand will save me. v8 יַהְוֶה will accomplish what concerns me; Thy lovingkindness, O יַהְוֶה, is everlasting; Do not forsake the works of Thy hands.

 

 

Psalm v139

 

139:1 For the choir director. A Psalm of David. O Lord, Thou hast searched me and known me. v2 Thou dost know when I sit down and when I rise up; Thou dost understand my thought from afar. v3 Thou dost scrutinize my path and my lying down, And art intimately acquainted with all my ways. v4 Even before there is a word on my tongue, Behold, O יַהְוֶה, Thou dost know it all. v5 Thou hast enclosed me behind and before, And laid Thy hand upon me. v6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is too high, I cannot attain to it. v7 Where can I go from Thy Spirit? Or where can I flee from Thy presence? v8 If I ascend to heaven, Thou art there; If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, Thou art there. v9 If I take the wings of the dawn, If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea, v10 Even there Thy hand will lead me, And Thy right hand will lay hold of me. v11 If I say, "Surely the darkness will overwhelm me, And the light around me will be night," v12 Even the darkness is not dark to Thee, And the night is as bright as the day. Darkness and light are alike to Thee. v13 For Thou didst form my inward parts; Thou didst weave me in my mother's womb. v14 I will give thanks to Thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Thy works, And my soul knows it very well. v15 My frame was not hidden from Thee, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth. v16 Thine eyes have seen my unformed substance; And in Thy book they were all written, The days that were ordained for me, When as yet there was not one of them. v17 How precious also are Thy thoughts to me, O Almighty! How vast is the sum of them! v18 If I should count them, they would outnumber the sand. When I awake, I am still with Thee. v19 O that Thou wouldst slay the wicked, O Almighty; Depart from me, therefore, men of bloodshed. v20 For they speak against Thee wickedly, And Thine enemies take Thy name in vain. v21 Do I not hate those who hate Thee, O יַהְוֶה? And do I not loathe those who rise up against Thee? v22 I hate them with the utmost hatred; They have become my enemies. v23 Search me, O Almighty, and know my heart; Try me and know my anxious thoughts; v24 And see if there be any hurtful way in me, And lead me in the everlasting way.

 

 

Psalm v140

 

140:1 For the choir director. A Psalm of David. Rescue me, O יַהְוֶה, from evil men; Preserve me from violent men, v2 Who devise evil things in their hearts; They continually stir up wars. v3 They sharpen their tongues as a serpent; Poison of a viper is under their lips. Selah. v4 Keep me, O יַהְוֶה, from the hands of the wicked; Preserve me from violent men, Who have purposed to trip up my feet. v5 The proud have hidden a trap for me, and cords; They have spread a net by the wayside; They have set snares for me. Selah. v6 I said to יַהְוֶה, "Thou art my Almighty; Give ear, O יַהְוֶה, to the voice of my supplications. v7 "O Almighty the Lord, the strength of my salvation, Thou hast covered my head in the day of battle. v8 "Do not grant, O יַהְוֶה, the desires of the wicked; Do not promote his evil device, lest they be exalted. Selah. v9 "As for the head of those who surround me, May the mischief of their lips cover them. v10 "May burning coals fall upon them; May they be cast into the fire, Into deep pits from which they cannot rise. v11 "May a slanderer not be established in the earth; May evil hunt the violent man speedily." v12 I know that יַהְוֶה will maintain the cause of the afflicted, And justice for the poor. v13 Surely the righteous will give thanks to Thy name; The upright will dwell in Thy presence.

 

 

Psalm v141

 

141:1 A Psalm of David. O Lord, I call upon Thee; hasten to me! Give ear to my voice when I call to Thee! v2 May my prayer be counted as incense before Thee; The lifting up of my hands as the evening offering. v3 Set a guard, O יַהְוֶה, over my mouth; Keep watch over the door of my lips. v4 Do not incline my heart to any evil thing, To practice deeds of wickedness With men who do iniquity; And do not let me eat of their delicacies. v5 Let the righteous smite me in kindness and reprove me; It is oil upon the head; Do not let my head refuse it, For still my prayer is against their wicked deeds. v6 Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock, And they hear my words, for they are pleasant. v7 As when one plows and breaks open the earth, Our bones have been scattered at the mouth of Sheol. v8 For my eyes are toward Thee, O Almighty, the Lord; In Thee I take refuge; do not leave me defenseless. v9 Keep me from the jaws of the trap which they have set for me, And from the snares of those who do iniquity. v10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, While I pass by safely.

I Cry aloud with my voice to יַהְוֶה; I make supplication with my voice to יַהְוֶה. v2 I pour out my complaint before Him; I declare my trouble before Him. v3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, Thou didst know my path. In the way where I walk They have hidden a trap for me. v4 Look to the right and see; For there is no one who regards me; There is no escape for me; No one cares for my soul. v5 I cried out to Thee, O יַהְוֶה; I said, "Thou art my refuge, My portion in the land of the living. v6 "Give heed to my cry, For I am brought very low; Deliver me from my persecutors, For they are too strong for me. v7 "Bring my soul out of prison, So that I may give thanks to Thy name; The righteous will surround me, For Thou wilt deal bountifully with me."

 

 

Psalm v143

 

143:1 A Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O יַהְוֶה, Give ear to my supplications! Answer me in Thy faithfulness, in Thy righteousness! v2 And do not enter into judgment with Thy servant, For in Thy sight no man living is righteous. v3 For the enemy has persecuted my soul; He has crushed my life to the ground; He has made me dwell in dark places, like those who have long been dead. v4 Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me; My heart is appalled within me. v5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Thy doings; I muse on the work of Thy hands. v6 I stretch out my hands to Thee; My soul longs for Thee, as a parched land. Selah. v7 Answer me quickly, O יַהְוֶה, my spirit fails; Do not hide Thy face from me, Lest I become like those who go down to the pit. v8 Let me hear Thy lovingkindness in the morning; For I trust in Thee; Teach me the way in which I should walk; For to Thee I lift up my soul. v9 Deliver me, O יַהְוֶה, from my enemies; I take refuge in Thee. v10 Teach me to do Thy will, For Thou art my Almighty; Let Thy good Spirit lead me on level ground. v11 For the sake of Thy name, O יַהְוֶה, revive me. In Thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble. v12 And in Thy lovingkindness cut off my enemies, And destroy all those who afflict my soul; For I am Thy servant.

144:1 A Psalm of David. Blessed be יַהְוֶה, my rock, Who trains my hands for war, And my fingers for battle; v2 My lovingkindness and my fortress, My stronghold and my deliverer; My shield and He in whom I take refuge; Who subdues my people under me. v3 O יַהְוֶה, what is man, that Thou dost take knowledge of him? Or the son of man, that Thou dost think of him? v4 Man is like a mere breath; His days are like a passing shadow. v5 Bow Thy heavens, O יַהְוֶה, and come down; Touch the mountains, that they may smoke. v6 Flash forth lightning and scatter them; Send out Thine arrows and confuse them. v7 Stretch forth Thy hand from on high; Rescue me and deliver me out of great waters, Out of the hand of aliens v8 Whose mouths speak deceit, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood. v9 I will sing a new song to Thee, O Almighty; Upon a harp of ten strings I will sing praises to Thee, v10 Who dost give salvation to kings; Who dost rescue David His servant from the evil sword. v11 Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hand of aliens, Whose mouth speaks deceit, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood. v12 Let our sons in their youth be as grown-up plants, And our daughters as corner pillars fashioned as for a palace; v13 Let our garners be full, furnishing every kind of produce, And our flocks bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields; v14 Let our cattle bear, Without mishap and without loss, Let there be no outcry in our streets! v15 How blessed are the people who are so situated; How blessed are the people whose the Almighty is יַהְוֶה!

Psalm v146

 

146:1 Hallelu ּהָי! Praise יַהְוֶה, O my soul! v2 I will praise יַהְוֶה while I live; I will sing praises to my Almighty while I have my being. v3 Do not trust in princes, In mortal man, in whom there is no salvation. v4 His spirit departs, he returns to the earth; In that very day his thoughts perish. v5 How blessed is he whose help is the Almighty of Jacob, Whose hope is in יַהְוֶה his Almighty; v6 Who made heaven and earth, The sea and all that is in them; Who keeps faith forever; v7 Who executes justice for the oppressed; Who gives food to the hungry. יַהְוֶה sets the prisoners free. v8 יַהְוֶה opens the eyes of the blind; יַהְוֶה raises up those who are bowed down; יַהְוֶה loves the righteous; v9 יַהְוֶה protects the strangers; He supports the fatherless and the widow; But He thwarts the way of the wicked. v10 יַהְוֶה will reign forever, Thy Almighty, O Zion, to all generations. Hallelu ּהָי!

147:1 Hallelu ּהָי! For it is good to sing praises to our Almighty; For it is pleasant and praise is becoming. v2 יַהְוֶה builds up Jerusalem; He gathers the outcasts of Israel. v3 He heals the brokenhearted, And binds up their wounds. v4 He counts the number of the stars; He gives names to all of them. v5 Great is our Lord, and abundant in strength; His understanding is infinite. v6 יַהְוֶה supports the afflicted; He brings down the wicked to the ground. v7 Sing to יַהְוֶה with thanksgiving; Sing praises to our Almighty on the lyre, v8 Who covers the heavens with clouds, Who provides rain for the earth, Who makes grass to grow on the mountains. v9 He gives to the beast its food, And to the young ravens which cry. v10 He does not delight in the strength of the horse; He does not take pleasure in the legs of a man. v11 יַהְוֶה favors those who fear Him, Those who wait for His lovingkindness. v12 Praise יַהְוֶה, O Jerusalem! Praise your Almighty, O Zion! v13 For He has strengthened the bars of your gates; He has blessed your sons within you. v14 He makes peace in your borders; He satisfies you with the finest of the wheat. v15 He sends forth His command to the earth; His word runs very swiftly. v16 He gives snow like wool; He scatters the frost like ashes. v17 He casts forth His ice as fragments; Who can stand before His cold? v18 He sends forth His word and melts them; He causes His wind to blow and the waters to flow. v19 He declares His words to Jacob, His statutes and His ordinances to Israel. v20 He has not dealt thus with any nation; And as for His ordinances, they have not known them. Hallelu ּהָי!
