Psalms 71:1-150:6 In thee, O Jehovah, I put my trust; shall not be ashamed forever.

JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ In thee, O Jehovah, I put my trust; shall not be ashamed forever. ² In thy justice thou wilt deliver me, and let me escape: incline to me thine ear and save me. ³ Be thou to me for a rock of refuge to come always: thou didst command to save me, for thou my rock and my fortress. ⁴ My God, deliver me from the hand of the unjust one, from the hand of him transgressing, and the violent one. ⁵ For thou my hope, O Lord Jehovah: my trust from my youth. ⁶ Upon thee was I supported from the womb: from the bowels of my mother thou didst separate me: in thee my praise always. ⁷ I was as a wonder to many: and thou my refuge of strength. ⁸ My mouth shall be filled with thy praise, thy magnificence all the day. ⁹ Thou wilt not cast me off to the time of old age; as my strength fails thou wilt not forsake me. ¹⁰ For mine enemies said to me, and they watching my soul took counsel together, ¹¹ Saying, God forsook him: pursue him and take him, for none delivering. ¹² O God, thou wilt not be far off from me: my God, hasten for my help. ¹³ They lying in wait for my soul shall be ashamed; they shall be finished; they seeking my evil shall be covered with reproach and shame. ¹⁴ And I will always hope, and I added upon all thy praise. ¹⁵ My mouth shall recount thy justice, all the day thy salvation, for I knew not numbers. ¹⁶ I will go in the strength of the Lord Jehovah: I will keep in remembrance thy justice, thine alone. ¹⁷ O God, thou didst teach me from my youth: and even to this will I announce thy wonders. ¹⁸ And also even to old age and grayness, O God, thou wilt not forsake me; till I shall announce thine arm to the generation, thy strength to every one who shall come: ¹⁹ And thy justice, O God, even to height, who didst great things: O God, who like thee? ²⁰ Who didst cause us to see great straits and evils; thou wilt turn back, thou wilt preserve us alive, and from the depths of the earth thou wilt turn back, thou wilt bring us up. ²¹ Thou wilt increase my greatness, thou wilt surround me, thou wilt comfort me. ²² Also I will praise thee with the instrument of the harp; thy truth, O God, I will play on the harp, to thee, O Thou, Holy One of Israel. ²³ My lips shall rejoice when I shall play on the harp to thee, and my soul which thou redeemedst. ²⁴ Also my tongue all the day shall celebrate thy justice; for they were confused, for they seeking my evil were ashamed. ⁷² ¹ To Solomon. O God, thou wilt give thy judgments to the king, and thy justice to the king's son. ² He shall judge thy people in justice, and thy poor in judgment. ³ The mountains shall lift up peace to the people, and the hills in justice. ⁴ He shall judge the poor of the people, and save to the sons of the needy, and he will break in pieces him oppressing. ⁵ And they shall fear thee with the sun and before the moon, generation of generations. ⁶ He shall come down as rain upon a fleece, as showers of pouring rain upon the earth. ⁷ The just one shall break forth in his days, and a multitude of peace even till no moon. ⁸ And he shall rule from sea even to sea, and from the river even to the. ends of the earth. ⁹ Inhabitants of the desert shall bow before him, and his enemies shall lick the dust ¹⁰ The kings of Tarshish and the islands shall turn back a gift, the kings of Sheba and Seba shall bring a present ¹¹ And all kings shall worship to him: all nations shall serve him. ¹² For we will deliver the needy from the powerful one, and the poor and no helper to him. ¹³ He will spare for the poor and the needy, and he will save the souls of the needy. ¹⁴ From oppression and from violence he will redeem their soul, and their blood shall be precious in his eyes. ¹⁵ And he shall live, and there shall be given to him from the gold of Sheba: and there shall always be supplications for him; all the day shall they praise him. ¹⁶ There shall be diffusion of grain in the earth upon the head of the mountains; its fruit shall shake as Lebanon, and they shall blossom from the city as the grass of the earth. ¹⁷ His name shall be forever: his name shall flourish before the sun: and they shall be praised in him: all nations shall pronounce him happy. ¹⁸ Praised be Jehovah God, the God of Israel, doing wonders himself alone. ¹⁹ And praised be the name of his glory forever; and his glory shall fill all the earth. Amen and Amen. ²⁰ The prayers of David son of Jesse were completed. ⁷³ ¹ Chanting to Asaph. Surely God is good to Israel, to the clean of heart ² And I, my feet nearly turned aside; my going was almost poured out ³ For I was envious at the foolish; I shall see the peace of the unjust ⁴ For not the pains to their death, and their body fat ⁵ They are not in the trouble of men, and with man they shall not be struck. ⁶ For this, pride surrounded them as a neck-chain; the dress of violence will cover to them. ⁷ Their eye will come forth from fat: they passed over the imaginations of the heart ⁸ They will mock and speak in evil of oppression: they will speak from elevation. ⁹ They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue will go in the earth. ¹⁰ For this, his people will turn back here: and full water shall be sucked out to them. ¹¹ And they said, How did God know? and is there knowledge in the Most High? ¹² Behold, these the unjust, and they being secure of the world increased riches. ¹³ Surely in vain I cleansed my heart, and I will wash my hands in cleanness. ¹⁴ And I am struck all the day, and my reproofs for the mornings. ¹⁵ If I said, I will recount thus; behold, I transgressed against the generation of thy sons. ¹⁶ And I shall think to know this, it is labor in mine eyes. ¹⁷ Till I shall come to the holy place of God I shall not understand for their latter state. ¹⁸ Surely in slippery places thou wilt set them, to cast them down into ruins. ¹⁹ How they were for desolation as in a moment they perished; they were finished from sudden destruction. ²⁰ As a dream of him awaking, O Jehovah, in awaking thou wilt despise their image. ²¹ For my heart will be embittered, and my loins were hard. ²² And I stupid, and I shall not know, and I was a beast with thee. ²³ And I always with thee: thou didst hold by my right hand. ²⁴ In thy counsel thou wilt guide me, and after, thou wilt receive me with glory. ²⁵ Who to me in the heavens? and from thee I desired nothing in the earth. ²⁶ My flesh failed and my heart: the rock of my heart and my portion is God forever. ²⁷ For behold, they being far off from thee shall perish: thou didst lay waste all committing fornication from thee. ²⁸ And I drawing near to God, it is good for me: I put in the Lord Jehovah my refuge, to recount all thy works. ⁷⁴ ¹ Understanding to Asaph. Wherefore, O God, didst thou reject forever? will thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy feeding? ² Remember thine assembly thou didst purchase of old; thou didst redeem the rod of thine inheritance; this mount Zion thou didst dwell in it ³ Lift up thy steps to desolations forever; all the evil of the enemy in the holy place. ⁴ Thine enemies roared in the midst of thine appointment; they set their signs, signs. ⁵ It will be known according to bringing the axes upwards upon the thicket of wood. ⁶ And now with axes and hammers they will beat her engravings. ⁷ They cast thy holy place into fire, to the earth they defiled the tent of thy name. ⁸ They said in their heart, We will rage against them together: they burnt up all the appointments of God in the earth. ⁹ We saw not our signs, no more a prophet: and not with us will it be known how long. ¹⁰ How long, O God, shall the enemy reproach? Shall the enemy despise thy name forever? ¹¹ Wherefore wilt thou turn back thy hand, and thy right hand? from the midst of thy bosom completely. ¹² And God my king of old working salvations in the midst of the earth. ¹³ Thou didst cleave the sea in thy strength: thou didst break the heads of the dragons upon the waters. ¹⁴ Thou didst break the heads of the sea monster, thou wilt give him for food to the people, to the inhabitants of the desert ¹⁵ Thou didst cleave asunder the fountain and the torrent: thou driedst up the rivers of strength. ¹⁶ To thee the day, also to thee the night: thou didst prepare the light and the sun. ¹⁷ Thou didst set all the bounds of the earth: summer and autumn thou didst form them. ¹⁸ Remember this, the enemy reproached Jehovah, and the foolish people despised thy name. ¹⁹ Thou wilt not give the soul of thy turtle-dove to the beast: the life of thy poor thou wilt not forget forever. ²⁰ Look to thy covenant: for the dark places of the earth were filled with habitations of violence. ²¹ The poor one shall not turn back ashamed: the humble and the needy shall praise thy name. ²² Arise, O God, contend thy contention: remember thy reproach from the foolish all the day. ²³ Thou wilt not forget the voice of thine adversaries: the pride of them rising up against thee going up always ⁷⁵ ¹ :To the overseer, Thou wilt not destroy: chanting to Asaph a song. We confessed to thee, O God, we confessed: and thy name is near, thy wonders recounted. ² For I will take the appointment, I will judge uprightnesses ³ The earth and all dwelling in it being melted: I made even its pillars. Silence. ⁴ I said to the foolish, Ye shall not be foolish; and to the unjust, Ye shall not lift up the horn: ⁵ Ye shall not lift up your horn to elevation: ye will speak with an impudent neck. ⁶ For not from the going forth and from the west, and not from the desert the lifting up. ⁷ For God is judge: he will humble this, and this he will lift up. ⁸ For a cup in the hand of Jehovah, and the wine red, being full of mixed wine; and he will pour out from this: but its lees all the unjust of the earth shall suck out, they shall drink. ⁹ And I will announce forever; I will play on the harp to the God of Jacob. ¹⁰ And all the horns of the unjust will I cut off; the horns of the just one shall be exalted. ⁷⁶ ¹ To the overseer upon the stringed instrument: chanting to Asaph song. In Judah was God known: great his name in Israel. ² And his booth shall be in peace, and his dwelling in Zion. ³ There he broke the lightnings of the bow, the shield and the sword, and war. Silence ⁴ Thou art light, being magnified from the mountains of fresh foliage. ⁵ The mighty of heart were spoiled, they slumbered their sleep: and all the men of strength found not their hands. ⁶ From thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, the chariot and the horse lay in a deep sleep. ⁷ Thou art feared, thou: and who shall stand before thee from the time of thine anger? ⁸ From the heavens thou didst cause judgment to be heard; the earth feared and rested. ⁹ In God's rising up to judgment, to save all the poor of the earth. Silence. ¹⁰ For the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath thou wilt gird up. ¹¹ Vow, ye, and repay to Jehovah your God: all being round about him shall bring a gift for fear. ¹² He will cut off the spirit of leaders, being terrible to the kings of the earth. ⁷⁷ ¹ To the overseer for Jeduthun: to Asaph a chanting. My voice to God, and I will cry with my voice to God, and he gave ear to me. ² In the day of my straits I sought Jehovah: my hand was stretched out at night, and it will not be slack: my soul refused to be comforted. ³ I will remember God and I shall be disquieted: I shall be depressed and my spirit will languish. Silence. ⁴ Thou didst hold mine eyes watching: I was moved, and I will not speak. ⁵ I reckoned the days of old, the everlasting years. ⁶ I will remember my stringed instruments in the night: I shall meditate with my heart, and my spirit will search out. ⁷ Will Jehovah reject forever? and will he no more add to be satisfied? ⁸ Did his mercy fail forever? his word come to an end to generation and generation? ⁹ Did God forget to compassionate? or in anger did he gather his compassion? Silence. ¹⁰ And saying, This has made me sick: the years of the right hand of the Most High. ¹¹ I will remember the works of Jah: for I will remember the ancient time of thy wonder. ¹² And I meditated in all thy work, and I will think upon all thy doings. ¹³ O God, thy way is in the holy place: what God great as God? ¹⁴ Thou the God doing wonder: thou didst make known thy strength among the peoples. ¹⁵ Thou didst redeem with the arm thy people the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Silence. ¹⁶ The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they will tremble, also the depths will be moved. ¹⁷ The clouds poured out waters: the clouds gave a voice: also thine arrows will go about. ¹⁸ The voice of thy thunder in the wheel: the lightnings lightened the habitable globe: the earth moved and it will shake. ¹⁹ In the sea thy way, and thy paths in many waters, and thy heels were not known. ²⁰ Thou didst guide thy people as sheep by the hand of Moses and Aaron. ⁷⁸ ¹ Instruction to Asaph. Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the sayings of my mouth. ² I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter enigmas from ancient time: ³ Which we heard and we shall know them, and our fathers recounted to us. ⁴ It was not hid from their sons, to a later generation recounting the praises of Jehovah and his strength, and his wonders which he did. ⁵ For he raised up a testimony in Jacob and set a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers to make them known to their sons: ⁶ So that a later generation shall know; sons shall be born, they shall rise up and recount to their sons. ⁷ And they shall set their hope in God, and they shall not forget the works of God, and they shall watch his commands. ⁸ And they shall not be as their fathers, a generation turning away and bitter, a generation it prepared not its heart, and its spirit was not firm with God. ⁹ The sons of Ephraim bending, lifting up the bow, turned in the day of the encounter. ¹⁰ They watched not the covenant of God, and in his law they refused to go; ¹¹ And they will forget his works and his wonders which he caused them to see. ¹² Before their fathers he did a wonder in the land of Egypt, the field of loading. ¹³ He rent the sea and he will cause them to pass through; and he will cause the waters to stand as a heap. ¹⁴ And he will guide them in a cloud the day, and all the night in a light of fire. ¹⁵ He will rend the rocks in the desert, and give drink as the great abyss. ¹⁶ And he will bring forth flowings from the rock, and bring down waters as rivers. ¹⁷ And they will yet add to sin against him to embitter the Most High in a dry land. ¹⁸ And they will tempt God in their heart to ask food for their soul. ¹⁹ And they will speak against God; they said, Will God be able to arrange a table in the desert? ²⁰ Behold, he struck the rock and waters will flow, and torrents will pour out; will he be able also to give bread? or will he prepare flesh for his people? ²¹ For this Jehovah heard and he will overflow, and a fire was kindled in Jacob, and also anger came up upon Israel. ²² For they believed not in God, and they trusted not in his salvation. ²³ And he commanded the clouds from above, and he opened the doors of the heavens. ²⁴ And he will rain upon them manna to eat, and he gave the grain of the heavens to them. ²⁵ Man ate the bread of the strong: he sent to them provision to fulness. ²⁶ He will cause the east wind to go forth in the heavens, and by his strength he will lead the south wind. ²⁷ And he will rain flesh upon them as the dust, birds of feather as the sand of the seas. ²⁸ And it shall fall in the midst of his camp, round about to his habitations. ²⁹ And they shall eat and be well filled: and he will bring to them their desire. ³⁰ They turned not away from their desire, yet their food in their mouth. ³¹ And the anger of God came up upon them, and he will slay among their fat ones and he bowed down the chosen of Israel. ³² In all this they yet sinned, and they believed not in his wonders. ³³ And he will finish their days in vanity, and their years in terror. ³⁴ When he slew them and they sought him, and they turned back and sought for God. ³⁵ And they will remember that God is their Rock, and God the Most High redeemed them. ³⁶ And they will deceive with their mouth, and with their tongue they will lie to him. ³⁷ And their heart was not right with him, and they were not firm in his covenant ³⁸ And he being compassionate will cover iniquity, and he will not destroy: and he multiplied to turn back his anger, and he will not rouse up all his wrath. ³⁹ And he will remember that they are flesh; a spirit going and not turning back. ⁴⁰ How often they will embitter him in the desert! they will grieve him in the waste. ⁴¹ And they will turn back and tempt God, and they broke in upon the Holy One of Israel. ⁴² They remembered not his hand the day which he redeemed them from the enemy; ⁴³ How he set in Egypt his signs, and his wonders in the field of loading. ⁴⁴ And he turned to blood their rivers, and their flowings they shall not drink ⁴⁵ He will send forth among them the gad-fly, and they shall devour them; and frogs, and they shall destroy them. ⁴⁶ And he will give their produce to the devourer, and their labor to the locust ⁴⁷ He will kill their vine with hail, and their sycamore trees with frost ⁴⁸ He will deliver their cattle to the hail, and their possessions to the flames. ⁴⁹ He will send upon them the burning of his anger, outpouring and wrath, and straits, sending evil messengers. ⁵⁰ He will prepare a beaten path for his anger; he spared not their soul from death, and their life he delivered to the word; ⁵¹ And he will strike all the firstborn in Egypt; the first-fruits of their toils in the tents of Ham: ⁵² He will remove his people as sheep, and he will lead them as a flock in the desert ⁵³ And he will guide them securely and they feared not: and the sea covered their enemies. ⁵⁴ And he will bring them to the bound of his holy place, this mountain his right hand purchased. ⁵⁵ And he will cast out the nations from their face, and he will divide them by lot in the measure of inheritance, and he will cause the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents. ⁵⁶ And they will tempt and embitter God the Most High, and they watched not his testimonies. ⁵⁷ And they will draw back, and they will transgress as their fathers: they were turned as a bow of deceit ⁵⁸ And they will make him angry with their heights, and they will provoke him to jealousy with their carved images. ⁵⁹ God heard and he will overflow, and he will greatly contemn in Israel. ⁶⁰ And he cast off the tent of Shiloh, the tent he pitched among man. ⁶¹ And he will give his strength to captivity, and his beauty into the hand of the enemy. ⁶² And he will deliver his people to the sword, and he overflowed upon his inheritance. ⁶³ The fire devoured his young men, and his virgins wailed not ⁶⁴ His priests fell by the sword, and his widows wept not ⁶⁵ And Jehovah will awake as he sleeping, as the strong one shouting from wine. ⁶⁶ And he will strike his enemies behind: he gave to them reproach forever. ⁶⁷ And he will reject in the tent of Joseph, and he chose not in the tribe of Ephraim. ⁶⁸ And be will choose the tribe of Judah, mount Zion which he loved. ⁶⁹ And he will build his holy place as of buffaloes, as the earth he founded it forever. ⁷⁰ And he will choose in David his servant, and he will take him from the folds of sheep. ⁷¹ From those bringing up to care for Jacob his people and for Israel his inheritance. ⁷² And he will feed them according to the integrity of his heart, and he will guide them in the understandings of his hands. ⁷⁹ ¹ Chanting to Asaph. O God, the nations came into thine inheritance; they defiled thy holy temple; they set Jerusalem for ruins. ² They gave the corpses of thy servants food to the birds of the heavens, the flesh of thy godly ones to the beasts of the earth. ³ They poured out their blood as water round about Jerusalem; and none burying. ⁴ We were a reproach to our neighbors, a derision and scorn to those being round about us. ⁵ How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou be angry forever? shall thy jealousy burn as fire? ⁶ Pour out thy wrath upon the nations which knew thee not, and upon the kingdoms which called not upon thy name. ⁷ For devouring Jacob and they laid Waste his dwelling. ⁸ Thou wilt not remember against us former iniquities: thy compassions shall quickly anticipate us, for we were greatly weak: ⁹ Help us, O God; save us, for the word of the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and cover our sins for sake Of thy name. ¹⁰ Wherefore shall the nations say, Where is their God? He will make known among the nations before our eyes the vengeance of the blood of thy servants being poured out. ¹¹ The mourning of the bound shall come before thee; according to the greatness of thine arm let the sons of death remain ¹² And turn back to our neighbors seven fold to their bosom their reproach which they reproached thee, O Jehovah. ¹³ And we are thy people and the sheep of thy pasture: we will confess to thee forever: to generation and generation we will recount thy praise. ⁸⁰ ¹ To the overseer for the lilies of the testimonies; to Asaph a chanting. O thou feeding Israel, give ear, guiding Joseph as sheep.; thou dwelling in the cherubs, shine forth. ² Before Epraim and Benjainin add Manasseh raise up thy strength, and come to save for us. ³ O God, turn us back and cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved: ⁴ O Jehovah, God of armies, how long didst thou smoke against the prayer of thy people? ⁵ Thou gavest them to eat the bread of tears, and thou wilt give them to drink in tears by measure. ⁶ Thou wilt set us a strife to our neighbors, and our enemies will deride to themselves. ⁷ O God of armies, turn us back and cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved. ⁸ Thou wilt remove a vine from Egypt: thou wilt cast out the nations and thou wilt plant it ⁹ Thou didst set in order before it, and thou wilt cause its roots to take root and the earth will be filled. ¹⁰ Its Shadow covered the mountains, and its branches the cedars of God. ¹¹ Thou Wilt send forth her boughs even to the sea, and her suckers to the river. ¹² Wherefore didst thou break down her walls, and all passing by the way plucked her? ¹³ The swine from the forest will lay it waste, and the Moving thing of the field will feed upon it ¹⁴ O God of armies, turn back now: look from the heavens and see, and review this vine; ¹⁵ And the plant which thy right hand planted, and upon the son thou madest strong for thee, ¹⁶ Burning it in fire, tutting it down; from the rebuke of thy face they shall perish. ¹⁷ Thy hand shall be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man thou madest Strong for thee. ¹⁸ And we will not draw back from thee: thou wilt cause us to live, and we will call upon thy name. ¹⁹ O Jehovah, God of armies turn us back; cause thy face to shine, and We shall be saved. ⁸¹ ¹ To the overseer upon the stringed instrument; to Asaph. Rejoice ye in God our strength: shout to the God of Jacob. ² Lift up music, and ye shall give the drum, the pleasant harp, with the lyre. ³ Strike ye the trumpet in the new in the full moon, for the day of our festival. ⁴ For it is a law to Israel, a judgment to the God of Jacob. ⁵ He set him a testimony in Joseph in his going forth upon the land of Egypt: I shall hear a lip I knew not ⁶ I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands shall past by from the basket ⁷ Thou calledst in straits, and I will deliver thee; I will answer thee in the hiding place of thunder. I will prove thee at the water of strife. Silence. ⁸ Hear, O my people, and I will testify in thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hear to me; ⁹ A strange god shall not be in thee; and thou shalt not worship to a strange god. ¹⁰ I am Jehovah thy God bringing thee up from the land of Egypt: make broad thy mouth and I will fill it ¹¹ And my people heard not to my voice; and Israel was not inclined to me. ¹² And I will send him forth in the hardnesses of their heart: they shall go in their counsels. ¹³ Would that my people heard to me! Israel shall go in my ways. ¹⁴ Shortly I shall humble their enemies, and against their adversaries I will turn back my hand. ¹⁵ They hating Jehovah shall lie to him: and their time shall be forever. ¹⁶ And he shall cause them to eat from the fat of wheat, and from the rock with honey will I satisfy thee. ⁸² ¹ Chanting to Asaph. God stood in the assembly of God; he will judge in the midst of gods. ² How long will ye judge wickedness, and ye will lift up the faces of the unjust? Silence. ³ Judge ye the poor one, and the orphan: do justice to the humble one and the poor one ⁴ Deliver the poor and needy one: take away out of the hand of the unjust ⁵ They will not know, they will not Understand: they will go about in darkness: all the foundations of the earth will be moved. ⁶ I said, Ye are gods; and the sons of the Most High all of you. ⁷ But as man shall ye die, and as one of the chiefs shall ye fall. ⁸ Arise, O God, judge the earth: for then shalt inherit in all nations. ⁸³ ¹ A song of chanting to Asaph. O God, not stillness to thee: thou wilt not be silent, and thou wilt not rest, O God. ² For behold, thine enemies will be clamorous; and they hating thee lifted up the head. ³ Against thy people they will make crafty consultation, and they will counsel against thy hidden ones. ⁴ They said, Come, and we will cut them off from a nation; and the name of Israel shall no more be remembered. ⁵ For they counseled together with the heart: they will cut out a covenant against thee: ⁶ The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagarites. ⁷ Gebel and Ammon and Amalek; the rovers with the inhabitants of Tyre; ⁸ Also Assur was joined with them: they were an arm to the sons of Lot Silence. ⁹ Do to them as Midian, as Sisera, as Jabin, at the torrent Bison: ¹⁰ They were destroyed at the fountain of the dwelling: they were dung to the earth. ¹¹ Set them their nobles as Oreb, and as Zeeb: and as Zebah and as Zalmunna, all their princes: ¹² Who said, We will inherit for us the dwellings of God. ¹³ O my God, set them as a wheel; as straw before the wind. ¹⁴ As fire will burn the forest, and as the flame will cause the mountains to burn. ¹⁵ So wilt thou pursue them with thy tempest, and thew wilt terrify them with thy whirlwind: ¹⁶ Fill their face with contempt, and they shall seek thy name, O Jehovah. ¹⁷ They shall be ashamed and terrified, even to forever; and they shall be put to shame and perish. ¹⁸ And they shall know that thou, thy name Jehovah alone, the Most High over all the earth. ⁸⁴ ¹ To the overseer upon the stringed instrument: to the sons of Korah, a chanting. How beloved are thy tents, O Jehovah of armies! ² My soul longed after, and also failed for the enclosures of Jehovah: my heart and my flesh will rejoice for the living God. ³ Also the sparrow found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself where she put her young brood, thine altars, O Jehovah of armies, my King and my God. ⁴ Happy they dwelling in thy house; they shall yet praise thee. Silence. ⁵ Happy the man strength to him in thee; the raised ways in their heart; ⁶ Passing through in the valley of Baca they will set it a fountain; also the early rain will cover the ponds. ⁷ They will go from strength to strength, being seen in Zion to God. ⁸ O Jehovah God of armies, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Silence. ⁹ See, O God our shield, and behold the face of thy Messiah. ¹⁰ For good a day in thine enclosures above a thousand. I chose to wait on the threshold in the house of my God, rather than to dwell in the tents of injustice. ¹¹ For Jehovah God a sun and shield: Jehovah will give grace and glory; he will not withhold good to those going uprightly. ¹² O Jehovah of armies, happy the man trusting in thee. ⁸⁵ ¹ To the overseer: to the sons of Korah a chanting. O Jehovah, thou didst delight in thy land: thou didst turn back the captivity of Jacob. ² Thou didst lift up the iniquity of thy people, thou didst cover all their sin. Silence. ³ Thou didst take away all thy wrath: thou didst turn back the burning of thine anger. ⁴ Turn us back, O God of our salvation, and annul thine anger with us. ⁵ Wilt thou be angry with us forever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to generation and generation? ⁶ Wilt thou not turn back? wilt thou give us life? and thy people shall rejoice in thee. ⁷ Cause us, O Jehovah, to see thy mercy, and thou wilt give to us thy salvation. ⁸ I will hear what God Jehovah shall speak: for he will speak peace to his people, and to his godly ones: and they shall not turn back to folly. ⁹ Surely his salvation is near to those fearing him, for glory to dwell in his land. ¹⁰ Mercy and truth met together; justice and peace kissed. ¹¹ Truth will spring up from the earth, and justice looked forth from the heavens. ¹² Also Jehovah will give good, and our land shall give her produce. ¹³ Justice shall go before him, and shall set to the way of his steps. ⁸⁶ ¹ A prayer to David. Incline, O Jehovah, thine ear: answer me, for I am poor and needy. ² Watch my soul, for I am godly: save thy servant, thou my God, trusting in thee. ³ Compassionate me, O Jehovah, for to thee I will call all the day. ⁴ Rejoice the soul of thy servant, for to thee, O Jehovah, will I lift up my soul. ⁵ For thou, O Jehovah, art good and forgiving, and great of mercy to all calling to thee. ⁶ Give ear, O Jehovah, to my prayer, and attend upon the voice of my supplications. ⁷ In the day of my straits I will call thee, for thou wilt answer me. ⁸ None like to thee among the gods, O Jehovah, and none according to thy works. ⁹ All the nations which thou madest shall come and worship before thee, O Jehovah, and they shall do honor to thy name. ¹⁰ For great art thou, and doing wonders: thou God alone. ¹¹ Teach me, O Jehovah, thy way; I will go in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name. ¹² I will praise thee, O Jehovah, my God, with all my heart, and I will honor thy name forever. ¹³ For thy mercy is great upon me, and thou didst deliver my soul from hades below. ¹⁴ O God, the proud rose up against me, and the assemblies of the terrible sought my soul; and they set not thee before them. ¹⁵ And thou, O Jehovah, art a God compassionate and merciful, and slow to anger and great of mercy and truth. ¹⁶ Turn to me and pity me; thou wilt give thy strength to thy servant, and save to the son of thy maid-servant ¹⁷ Make with me a sign for good, and they hating me shall see and be ashamed: for thou, Jehovah, didst help me and comfort me. ⁸⁷ ¹ To the sons of Korah chanting a song. His foundations are in the mountains of holiness. ² Jehovah loved the gates of Zion above all the tents of Jacob. ³ Honored things being spoken in thee, O city of God. Silence. ⁴ I will make mention of Rahab and Babel to those knowing me: behold the rovers, and Tyre, with Cush; this was born there. ⁵ And to Zion a man will say, And a man was born in her: and he the Most High shall prepare her. ⁶ Jehovah shall recount in writing up the peoples, This was born there. Silence. ⁷ The chiefs according to them beginning: all my fountains in thee. ⁸⁸ ¹ A song of chanting to the sons of Korah to the overseer upon the lute, for affliction of instruction, for Heman the Ezrabite. O Jehovah, God of my salvation, the day have I cried in the night before thee. ² My prayer shall come before thee: incline thine ear to my wailing; ³ For my soul was filled with evils, and my life touched upon hades. ⁴ I was reckoned with those going down to the pit: I was as a man of no strength: ⁵ Free among the dead, as they wounded lying down in the grave, whom thou no more didst remember them, and they were cut off by thy hand. ⁶ Thou didst set me in the pit beneath, in darknesses, in the shades. ⁷ Thy wrath lay upon me, and thou didst afflict with all thy breakers. Silence. ⁸ Thou didst remove far from me mine acquaintance; thou didst set me an abomination to them: I was shut up, and I shall not go forth. ⁹ Mine eye languished from affliction: I called to thee, O Jehovah, in all the day, I stretched my hands to thee. ¹⁰ Wilt thou do wonder to the dead? if the shades shall arise, shall they praise thee? Silence. ¹¹ Shall thy mercy be recounted in the grave, thy faithfulness in destruction? ¹² Shall thy wonder be known in darkness, and thy justice in a land of oblivion? ¹³ And to thee, O Jehovah, I cried, and in the morning shall my prayer anticipate thee. ¹⁴ Wherefore, O Jehovah, wilt thou cast off my soul? wilt thou hide thy face from me? ¹⁵ I am poor and expiring from youth: I bore thy terrors; I shall be perplexed. ¹⁶ Upon me thy burnings passed over; thy terrors made me silent ¹⁷ They surrounded me as water all the day; they folded round about me together. ¹⁸ Thou didst remove far from me lover and friend, mine acquaintance into darkness. ⁸⁹ ¹ Of instruction to Ethan the Ezrahite.

Silence. ³⁸ And thou didst cast off, and thou wilt reject; thou didst overflow with thy Messiah. ³⁹ Thou didst reject the covenant of thy servant: thou didst profane to the earth his consecration. ⁴⁰ Thou didst break down all his walls; thou didst set his fortifications a ruin. ⁴¹ All those passing over the way plundered him: he was a reproach to his neighbors: ⁴² Thou didst raise up the right hand of his adversaries; thou didst cause all his enemies to rejoice. ⁴³ Also thou wilt turn hack the edge of his sword, and thou caused him not to rise up in war. ⁴⁴ Thou didst cause to cease from his cleansing, and his throne thou didst cast it down to the earth. ⁴⁵ Thou didst shorten the clays of his youth: thou didst cover over him with shame.
