Psalms 10:1-30:12 Why do You stand far away, O Jehovah? Will You hide in times of distress?

LITV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Why do You stand far away, O Jehovah? Will You hide in times of distress? ² The wicked in his pride will pursue the poor; they will be caught in the schemes which they have devised. ³ For the wicked boasts of his soul's desire, and he has blessed the covetous; he has despised Jehovah. ⁴ Through pride of his face, the wicked will not seek; there is no God in all of his schemes. ⁵ His ways are perverted at all times. Your judgments are high from his sight; as for all his vexers, he puffs at them. ⁶ He has said in his heart, I shall not be moved! From generation to generation never will I be in evil. ⁷ His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and injury; under his tongue are mischief and vanity. ⁸ He sits in the hiding places of the villages; in the secret places he murders the innocent; his eyes watch against the poor. ⁹ He lies in wait secretly like a lion in his den; he lies in ambush to catch the poor; he seizes the poor, drawing him into his net; ¹⁰ and being crushed, he bows; and the poor have fallen by his strong ones. ¹¹ He has said in his heart, God has forgotten; He hides His face; He will not see forever. ¹² Arise, O Jehovah! O God, lift up your hand; do not forget the lowly ones. ¹³ Why does the wicked one despise God? He has said in his heart, You will not inquire into us ¹⁴ You have seen, for You take note of mischief and vexation, to repay with Your hand. The poor leaves himself to You; You are the helper of the orphan. ¹⁵ Break the arm of the wicked and evil one; search out his wickedness until You find none. ¹⁶ Jehovah is king forever and ever; the nations have perished out of His land. ¹⁷ O Jehovah, You have heard the desire of the humble; You will prepare their heart. Your ear will hear, ¹⁸ judge the orphan and the crushed. No more shall the man of the earth continue to terrify. ¹¹ ¹ To the chief musician. A Psalm of David. I sought refuge in Jehovah; how can you say to my soul, Flee like a bird to your hill. ² For behold! The wicked will tread the bow; they fixed their arrow on the string, in order to shoot with it at the upright of heart in the dark. ³ When the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do? ⁴ Jehovah is in His holy temple Jehovah, His throne is in the heavens; His eyes see; His eyelids will examine the sons of man. ⁵ Jehovah tries the righteous, but His soul hates the wicked and the lover of violence. ⁶ He shall rain snares on the wicked; fire and brimstone and a scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup. ⁷ For Jehovah is righteous; He loves righteous deeds; the upright look upon His face. ¹² ¹ To the chief musician, on eight. A Psalm of David. Help, O Jehovah, for the saint ceases to be; for the faithful fail from among the sons of men. ² They speak vanity, each man with his neighbor; with flattering lips and a double heart they speak. ³ Jehovah shall cut off all with flattering lips and the tongue that speaks great things; ⁴ Who say, We shall be strong by our tongue; our lips are our own; who is lord over us? ⁵ For the pain of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, I will now rise up, says Jehovah; I will set in safety; he pants for it. ⁶ The words of Jehovah are pure words, like silver refined in an earthen furnace, purified seven times. ⁷ You shall keep them, O Jehovah; You shall preserve them from this generation forever. ⁸ The wicked walk around on every side, when vileness is exalted by the sons of men. ¹³ ¹ To the chief musician. A Psalm of David. Until when will You forget me, O Jehovah? Forever? Until when will You hide Your face from me? ² Until when shall I set counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart every day? Until when shall my enemy be lifted up over me? ³ Look! Answer me, O Jehovah, my God! Make my eyes gleam, lest I sleep the death; ⁴ lest my enemy say, I have overcome him and my foes rejoice when I am shaken. ⁵ But I have trusted in Your mercy. My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation. ⁶ I will sing to Jehovah, because He has rewarded me. ¹⁴ ¹ To the chief musician. A Psalm of David. The fool has said in his heart, There is no God! They acted corruptly; they did hatefully in deeds; there is none doing good. ² Jehovah looked down from Heaven on the sons of mankind, to see if there were any discerning and seeking God: ³ they have all turned aside; together they have become filthy; there is none doing good; not even one! ⁴ Have all evildoers not known, eating My people as they eat bread? They have not called on Jehovah. ⁵ There they were afraid of terror, for God is in the righteous generation. ⁶ You have shamed the counsel of the afflicted, for Jehovah is his refuge. ⁷ Who will bring the salvation of Israel out of Zion? When Jehovah brings back the captivity of His people, Jacob shall rejoice; Israel shall be glad. ¹⁵ ¹ A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, who shall dwell in Your tabernacle? Who shall live in Your holy mountain? ² He who walks uprightly and works righteousness, and speaks the truth in his heart. ³ He does not backbite with his tongue, nor do evil to his friend, nor lift up a reproach against his neighbor. ⁴ In his eyes, the reprobate has been despised, but he honors those who fear Jehovah: He has sworn to his hurt, and will not change it. ⁵ He has not given his silver at interest; nor has he taken a bribe against the innocent; he who does these things shall not be shaken forever. ¹⁶ ¹ A Secret Treasure of David. Watch over me, O God, for I take refuge in You. ² Oh my soul you have said to Jehovah, You are my Lord; My goodness is nothing apart from You. ³ As for the saints in the earth, they are the excellent ones; all my delight is in them. ⁴ Their sorrows shall multiply if they run after another god . I will not pour out their drink offering of blood; and I will not take their names on my lips. ⁵ Jehovah is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup; You shall surely uphold my destiny. ⁶ The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; yea, I have a beautiful inheritance. ⁷ I will bless Jehovah, who counseled me. My reins also teach me in the nights. ⁸ I have set Jehovah always before me; for He is at my right hand: I shall not be shaken. ⁹ So my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices; my flesh shall also rest in hope; ¹⁰ For You will not leave My soul in Sheol; You will not give Your Holy One to see corruption. ¹¹ You will make Me know the way of life. In Your presence is fullness of joys; at Your right hand are pleasures forever. ¹⁷ ¹ A Prayer of David. O Jehovah, hear righteousness; listen to my cry; give ear to my prayer, for it is not in lips of deceit. ² Let my judgment go out from Your face; Your eyes see uprightly. ³ You will test my heart; You will visit in the night; You will refine me; You will find nothing; my thoughts do not pass beyond my mouth. ⁴ As to the work of men, by the words of Your lips I keep from the paths of the violent. ⁵ My steps have kept in Your tracks, so that my strides have not slipped. ⁶ I have called on You, for You will answer me, O God; bow down Your ear to me and hear my word. ⁷ Set out your wonderful loving-kindness by Your right hand, O Savior of those who trust in You, from those rising against them . ⁸ Keep me as the pupil, the daughter of the eye; hide me in the shadow of Your wings, ⁹ from the face of the wicked who stripped me; against my soul, my enemies go all around me. ¹⁰ They are enclosed in their own fat; their mouth speaks proudly; ¹¹ now they have hemmed in our steps; they set their eyes to cast me to the earth; ¹² like a lion who longs to tear, and like a young lion sitting in hidden dens. ¹³ Arise, O Jehovah, go before his face and bow him down! Deliver my soul from the wicked, by Your sword, ¹⁴ from men, by Your hand, O Jehovah, from men of the world whose portion is in this life, and their belly You fill with Your treasure; they are satisfied with sons, and will leave their riches to their babes. ¹⁵ As for me, in righteousness I will look upon Your face; when I awaken, I shall be satisfied by Your image. ¹⁸ ¹ To the chief musician, A Psalm of David, the servant of Jehovah, who spoke the words of this song to Jehovah in the day that Jehovah delivered him from the hand of all his foes, and from the hand of Saul. And he said: I love You, O Jehovah, my strength. ² Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress and my deliverer; my God, my Rock; I seek refuge in Him; He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my high tower. ³ I will call on Jehovah, who is to be praised; and I shall be saved from my enemies. ⁴ The cords of death hemmed me in; yea, the floods of ungodly men overwhelmed me; ⁵ cords of Sheol surrounded me; the snares of death confronted me. ⁶ In my distress I called on Jehovah and I cried to my God; He heard my voice out of His temple, and my cry went before Him, into His ears. ⁷ Then the earth shook and trembled; and the foundations of the mountains moved and were shaken, because it angered Him. ⁸ A smoke went up out of His nostrils, and fire devoured out of His mouth; coals were kindled from it. ⁹ He bowed the heavens also and came down, and darkness was under His feet; ¹⁰ and He rode on a cherub, and He flew; yea He soared on the wings of the wind; ¹¹ He made darkness His covering, His pavilion all around Him, darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies. ¹² Out of the brightness before Him, His dark clouds passed through, hailstones and coals of fire. ¹³ Jehovah also thundered in the heavens; and the Highest uttered His voice, hailstones and coals of fire. ¹⁴ Yea, He sent out His arrows and scattered them; and He shot out lightnings and confounded them. ¹⁵ Then the stream beds of waters were seen, and the foundations of the earth were bared at Your rebuke, O Jehovah, at the blast of the breath of Your nostrils. ¹⁶ He sent from on high, He took me; He drew me out of many waters; ¹⁷ He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from my haters; for they were stronger than I. ¹⁸ They went before my face in my day of calamity, but Jehovah was my support. ¹⁹ And He brought me out into a broad place; He delivered me because He delighted in me; ²⁰ Jehovah rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands, He has repaid me. ²¹ For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, and have not wickedly departed from my God. ²² For all His judgments were before me, and I did not turn away His statutes from me. ²³ For I was upright with Him, and kept myself from my guilt. ²⁴ And Jehovah has returned to me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands before His eyes. ²⁵ With the merciful, You reveal Yourself as merciful; with an upright man, You reveal yourself as upright; ²⁶ with the pure, You reveal Yourself as pure; and with the crooked, You appear perverse; ²⁷ for You will save an afflicted people, but will bring down haughty eyes. ²⁸ For You will light my lamp; Jehovah my God will make my darkness light. ²⁹ For through You I can run through a troop; and through my God I have leaped over a wall. ³⁰ As for God, His way is perfect; the word of Jehovah is purified; He is a shield to all who seek refuge in Him. ³¹ For who is God besides Jehovah? Or who is a Rock except our God? ³² It is God who girds me with strength and gives my way to be perfect; ³³ setting my feet like the deer, and making me stand on my high places; ³⁴ teaching my hands to war, so that a bow of bronze is bent by my arms. ³⁵ You have also given me the shield of Your salvation; and Your right hand holds me up; and Your condescension has made me great. ³⁶ You have made a wide place under me for my steps, so that my ankles have not slipped. ³⁷ I have pursued my enemies and have overtaken them; nor did I turn till they were consumed. ³⁸ I have shattered them, and they cannot rise up; they fell under my feet. ³⁹ And You have girded me with strength for the battle; You have bowed under me those rising against me. ⁴⁰ And you have given me the neck of my enemies, that I might cut off my haters. ⁴¹ They cried, but no one is there to save; to Jehovah, but He did not answer them. ⁴² And I crushed them like the dust before the wind; I emptied them out like the mire of the streets. ⁴³ You have delivered me from the strivings of the people; You have made me head of the nations; a people I have not known shall serve me. ⁴⁴ At the hearing of the ear they listen to me; the sons of foreigners shall bow down to me. ⁴⁵ The sons of foreigners shall faint and come trembling out of their strongholds. ⁴⁶ Jehovah lives! And blessed be my Rock! And let the God of my salvation be exalted! ⁴⁷ He is the God who avenges me, and speaks to people under me. ⁴⁸ He delivers me from my enemies; yea, You lift me up from among those rising up against me. You have delivered me from the violent man. ⁴⁹ On account of this I will extol You, O Jehovah, among the nations. and I will sing praises to Your name, ⁵⁰ magnifying salvations to His king, and working mercy to His anointed, to David and to his seed forever. ¹⁹ ¹ To the chief musician. A Psalm of David. The heavens are recording the glory of God, and the expanse proclaim His handiwork. ² Day by day they pour forth speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. ³ There is no speech, nor are there words where their voice is not heard. ⁴ Their measuring line has gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world; in them He has set up a dwelling-place for the sun, ⁵ and he comes forth like a bridegroom from his canopy. He rejoices like a hero to run a race; ⁶ his going forth from the end of the heavens, and his orbit to their ends; and nothing is hidden from his heat. ⁷ The law of Jehovah is perfect, converting the soul. The testimony of Jehovah is sure, making the simple wise. ⁸ The precepts of Jehovah are right, rejoicing the heart; the commands of Jehovah are pure, giving light to the eyes. ⁹ The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring forever; the judgments of Jehovah are true, they are righteous altogether. ¹⁰ They are more precious than gold, even much fine gold, and sweeter than honey and drops from the honeycomb. ¹¹ Also Your servant is warned by them; in keeping of them is great reward. ¹² Who can discern errors? Acquit me from secret faults, ¹³ also withhold Your servant from arrogant sins; do not let them rule over me; then I shall be upright, and shall be innocent from great transgression. ¹⁴ Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing before You, O Jehovah, my Rock and my Redeemer. ²⁰ ¹ To the chief musician. A Psalm of David. May Jehovah answer you in the day of distress; the name of the God of Jacob set you on high. ² He sends your help from the sanctuary, and upholds you out of Zion. ³ He will remember all your offerings, and make fat your burnt sacrifices. Selah. ⁴ He will give you according to your heart, and fulfill all your plans. ⁵ We will rejoice in your salvation, and in the name of our God set up banners; may Jehovah fulfill all your prayers. ⁶ Now I know that Jehovah saves His anointed; He answers him from His holy Heaven with the saving strengths of His right hand. ⁷ These trust in chariots, and these in horses but we will make mention in the name of Jehovah our God. ⁸ They have bowed down and have fallen, but we have risen and stand upright. ⁹ Save, O Jehovah! The King will answer us in the day of our calling. ²¹ ¹ To the chief musician. A Psalm of David. The king rejoices in Your strength, O Jehovah; and how greatly does he rejoice in Your salvation. ² You have given him his heart's desire and have not withheld the prayer of his lips. Selah. ³ For You will precede him with the blessings of goodness; You set a crown of pure gold on his head. ⁴ He asked life from You: You gave to him length of days forever and ever. ⁵ His glory is great in Your salvation; You have laid honor and majesty on him. ⁶ For You have set him blessings forever; You have rejoiced him in the joy of Your face. ⁷ For the king trusts in Jehovah, and in the mercy of the Most High; he will not be shaken. ⁸ Your hand shall find out all Your enemies; Your right hand shall find out Your haters. ⁹ You shall set them as a fiery furnace in the time of Your presence; Jehovah will swallow them up in His wrath, and the fire will devour them. ¹⁰ You shall destroy their fruit from the earth, and their seed from the sons of men. ¹¹ For they stretched forth evil against You; they imagined a plot; they cannot prevail, ¹² for You shall make them turn the back; against their faces You shall make ready Your arrows on Your strings. ¹³ Be exalted, O Jehovah, in Your strength; we will sing, and sing psalms of Your power. ²² ¹ To the Chief Musician, on the deer of the dawn. A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why have You forsaken me, and are far from my deliverance, from the words of my groaning? ² O my God, I cry by day, but You do not answer; and in the night, and there is no silence to me. ³ But You are holy, being enthroned on Israel's praises. ⁴ Our fathers trusted in You; they trusted, and You delivered them. ⁵ They cried to You, and were delivered; they trusted in You, and were not ashamed. ⁶ But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of mankind, and despised by the people. ⁷ All who see Me scornfully laugh at me; they open the lip; they shake the head, saying, ⁸ He rolled on Jehovah, let Him deliver Him; let Him rescue Him, since He delights in Him. ⁹ For You are He, my Taker from the womb; causing me to trust on My mother's breasts. ¹⁰ I was cast on You from the womb, from My mother's belly, You are my God. ¹¹ Be not far from Me; for trouble is near; because no one is there to help. ¹² Many bulls have circled around Me; strong bulls of Bashan have surrounded Me. ¹³ They opened their mouth on Me, like a lion ripping and roaring. ¹⁴ I am poured out like waters, and all My bones are spread apart; My heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of My bowels. ¹⁵ My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and My tongue clings to My jaws; ¹⁶ and You appoint Me to the dust of death; for dogs have encircled Me; band of spoilers have hemmed Me in, piercers of My hands and My feet. ¹⁷ I count all My bones; they look, they stare at Me. ¹⁸ They divide My garments among them, and they made fall a lot for My clothing. ¹⁹ But You, O Jehovah, be not far off; O My Strength, hurry to help Me! ²⁰ Deliver My soul from the sword, My only one from the paw of the dog. ²¹ Save Me from the lion's mouth; and from the horns of the wild oxen. You have answered Me. ²² I will declare Your name to My brothers; I will praise You in the midst of the assembly. ²³ You who fear Jehovah, praise Him; all the seed of Jacob, glorify Him; and all the seed of Israel, fear Him. ²⁴ For He has not despised nor hated the affliction of the afflicted; and He has not hidden His face from him, but when He cried to Him, He heard. ²⁵ My praise shall be of You in the great assembly; I will pay my vows before His fearers. ²⁶ The meek shall eat and be satisfied; those who seek Jehovah shall praise Him; your heart shall live forever. ²⁷ All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn back to Jehovah; and all the families of the nations shall worship before You. ²⁸ For the kingdom is Jehovah's; and He is the ruler among the nations. ²⁹ All the fat ones of the earth have eaten, and have worshiped; all those going down to the dust shall bow before Him; and he kept not his own soul alive. ³⁰ A seed shall serve Him; it shall be spoken of the Lord to the coming generation; ³¹ they shall come and shall declare His righteousness to a people that shall yet be born; for He has done it. ²³ ¹ A Psalm of David. Jehovah is my shepherd; I shall not want. ² He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters; ³ He restores my soul; He guides me in paths of righteousness for His name's sake. ⁴ Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. ⁵ You prepare a table for me before my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over. ⁶ Surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I shall dwell in the house of Jehovah for as long as my days. ²⁴ ¹ A Psalm of David. The earth is Jehovah's, and the fullness of it; the world, and those who live in it. ² For He has founded it on the seas, and established it on the rivers. ³ Who shall go up into the hill of Jehovah? And who shall stand in His holy place? ⁴ He who has clean hands and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul to guile, and has not sworn in deceit. ⁵ He shall lift up the blessing from Jehovah, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. ⁶ This is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek Your face, O God of Jacob. Selah. ⁷ Lift up your heads, O gates; and be lifted up, O everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. ⁸ Who is this King of glory? Jehovah strong and mighty! Jehovah mighty in battle! ⁹ Lift up your heads, O gates; even lift up, O everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. ¹⁰ Who is this King of glory? Jehovah of hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah. ²⁵ ¹ A Psalm of David. To You, O Jehovah, I lift up my soul. ² O my God, I trust in You; do not let me be ashamed; let not my enemies triumph over me. ³ Yea, let no one who waits on You be ashamed; let those who vainly sin be ashamed. ⁴ Make me know Your ways, O Jehovah; teach me Your paths; ⁵ lead me in Your truth, and teach me; for You are the God of my salvation; on You I wait all the day long. ⁶ Remember, O Jehovah, Your compassions and Your mercies; for they are from eternity. ⁷ Do not remember the sins of my youth, or my transgressions. According to Your mercy, remember me, for Your goodness' sake, O Jehovah. ⁸ Good and upright is Jehovah; therefore He will teach sinners in the way. ⁹ He will guide the meek in justice; and He will teach the meek His way. ¹⁰ All the paths of Jehovah are mercy and truth to the keepers of His covenant and His testimonies. ¹¹ For Your name's sake, O Jehovah, even pardon my iniquity for it is great. ¹² What man is he who fears Jehovah? He teaches him the way he should choose. ¹³ His soul shall abide in good, and his seed shall inherit the earth. ¹⁴ The secret of Jehovah is with those who fear Him; and He will make them know His covenant. ¹⁵ My eyes are ever toward Jehovah; for He shall bring my feet out of the net. ¹⁶ Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted. ¹⁷ The straits of my heart are enlarged; O bring me out from my straits. ¹⁸ Look on my affliction and my pain, and lift up all my sins. ¹⁹ Look on my enemies, for they are many; they hate me with a violent hatred. ²⁰ Keep my soul and deliver me let me not be ashamed, for I have sought refuge in You. ²¹ Let purity and uprightness keep me, for I wait on You. ²² Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his distresses. ²⁶ ¹ A Psalm of David. Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in my integrity; I also have trusted in Jehovah; I shall not slide. ² Examine me, O Jehovah, and prove me; purify my reins and my heart. ³ For Your mercy is before my eyes; and I have walked in Your truth. ⁴ I have not sat with lying men; and I will not go in with hypocrites; ⁵ I have hated the assembly of evildoers, and I will not sit with the wicked. ⁶ I will wash my hands in innocency; so I will go around Your altar, O Jehovah, ⁷ to cause to hear with the voice of thanksgiving, and recount all Your wonderful works. ⁸ O Jehovah, I have loved the place of Your house, and the place where Your glory dwells. ⁹ Do not take away my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men, ¹⁰ in whose hand is a plot, and their right hand is full of a bribe. ¹¹ But I will walk in my integrity; redeem me and be gracious to me. ¹² My foot stands in an even place; in the assemblies, I will bless Jehovah. ²⁷ ¹ A Psalm of David. Jehovah is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? Jehovah is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? ² When the evildoers, my enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat my flesh, they stumbled and fell. ³ If an army should camp against me, my heart shall not fear. Though war rises against me, in this I am trusting. ⁴ One thing I have asked from Jehovah, it I will seek: my dwelling in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, to behold the delight of Jehovah, and to inquire in His temple. ⁵ For in the day of evil He shall hide me in His shelter; in the secrecy of His tabernacle, He shall hide me; He shall set me up on a rock. ⁶ And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies, my encirclers, and I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises to Jehovah. ⁷ Hear, O Jehovah, my voice when I call, and favor me, and answer me. ⁸ My heart said to You, Seek my face; Your face, O Jehovah, I will seek. ⁹ Do not hide Your face from me; Do not turn away Your servant in anger; You have been my help, do not leave me nor forsake me, O God of my salvation. ¹⁰ When my father and my mother forsake me then Jehovah will take me up. ¹¹ Teach me Your way, O Jehovah, and lead me in a level path, because of those who watch me. ¹² Deliver me not into the soul of my enemies; for false witnesses have risen against me, and he that puffs out violence. ¹³ I would have fainted unless I had believed to see the goodness of Jehovah in the land of the living. ¹⁴ Hope in Jehovah; be strong and He will make strong your heart; yea, hope in Jehovah! ²⁸ ¹ A Psalm of David. I will call to You, O Jehovah; my Rock, be not deaf to me, lest, if you be silent from me I may be compared with those going down into the Pit. ² Hear the voice of my prayers in my crying to You, when I lift my hands toward Your Holy of Holies. ³ Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity; who speak peace with their neighbors, yet evil is in their hearts. ⁴ Give to them according to their deeds and according to the evil of their practices; as is the work of their hands, give to them, repay their deeds to them. ⁵ Because they pay no attention to the works of Jehovah, and to the works of His hands, He will destroy them, and not build them up. ⁶ Blessed be Jehovah, because He has heard the voice of my prayers. ⁷ Jehovah is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; yea, my heart greatly rejoices; and I will thank Him with my song. ⁸ Jehovah is their strength, and He is the stronghold of the salvations of His anointed. ⁹ Save Your people and bless Your inheritance and feed them, and lift them up forever. ²⁹ ¹ A Psalm of David. Give to Jehovah, sons of mighty ones; give to Jehovah glory and strength. ² Give to Jehovah the glory of His name; worship; Jehovah in the majesty of holiness. ³ The voice of Jehovah is on the waters the God of glory thunders; Jehovah is above many waters. ⁴ The voice of Jehovah is in power; the voice of Jehovah in majesty. ⁵ The voice of Jehovah breaks the cedars; yea, Jehovah breaks Lebanon's cedars. ⁶ He also makes them skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young wild ox. ⁷ The voice of Jehovah is cutting through the flame of fire. ⁸ The voice of Jehovah shakes the wilderness; Jehovah shakes the wilderness of Kadesh. ⁹ The voice of Jehovah causes the does to calve, and He uncovers the forests. And in His temple, it all is saying, Glory! ¹⁰ Jehovah sits upon the flood; yea, Jehovah sits as King forever. ¹¹ Jehovah will give strength to His people; Jehovah will bless His people with peace. ³⁰ ¹ A Psalm; a Song of Dedication of the House of David. I will exalt You, O Jehovah; for You have lifted me up, and have not allowed my foes to rejoice over me. ² O Jehovah my God, I cried to You, and You have healed me. ³ O Jehovah, You have brought up my soul from Sheol; You have kept me alive, from going down into the Pit. ⁴ Sing praises to Jehovah, O saints of His; and give thanks to the memory of His holiness. ⁵ For His anger is only a moment; in His favor is life. Weeping may endure in the evening, but joy comes in the morning. ⁶ And in my prosperity, I said, I shall never be moved forever. ⁷ O Jehovah, in Your favor You have made my strong mountain to stand You hid Your face; I was troubled; ⁸ I called to You, O Jehovah; yea, I prayed to Jehovah. ⁹ What profit is in my blood, in going down to the Pit? Shall the dust praise You? Shall it tell of Your truth? ¹⁰ Hear, O Jehovah, and favor me; O Jehovah, be my helper. ¹¹ You have turned my mourning into dancing for me; You have loosed my sackcloth and have clothed me with gladness. ¹² So my glory shall praise You, and not be quiet; O Jehovah, my God, I will give thanks to You forever.
