Psalms 111:1-119:176 Praise the LORD! I will thank the LORD with all my heart; in the council of the upright, and of the assembly.

VIN⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Praise the LORD! I will thank the LORD with all my heart; in the council of the upright, and of the assembly. ² Great are the works of the LORD, Sought after by all who delight in them." ³ Glorious and majestic is his doing, and his righteousness endureth for ever. ⁴ He has made his wonders to be remembered; the LORD is gracious and compassionate. ⁵ He gives food to those who fear him; he remembers his covenant forever. ⁶ He has shown his people the power of his works, in giving them the heritage of the nations. ⁷ The works of his hands are faithfulness and justice; all his precepts are reliable. ⁸ They are sustained forever and ever, done with faithfulness and uprightness. ⁹ He sent redemption unto his people: he has commanded his covenant forever: holy and awesome is his name. ¹⁰ The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who do them have a good understanding. His praise endures forever. ¹¹² ¹ Praise Yah! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD; he takes great delight in his commands. ² His seed will be mighty in the land, the generation of the upright will be blessed. ³ Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever. ⁴ Risen—in darkness, is light to the upright, The gracious and compassionate and righteous. ⁵ Well will it be with the man who is kind, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with justice. ⁶ For he will never be shaken. The righteous will be remembered forever. ⁷ He will not be afraid of evil news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD. ⁸ His heart is secure, he has no fears; in the end he will look in triumph on his adversaries. ⁹ He has scattered abroad; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn shall be lifted up with honor. ¹⁰ The wicked shall see it, and be vexed; he will gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the longing of the wicked shall perish. ¹¹³ ¹ Praise the LORD! Praise, O servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD. ² Let the name of the Lord be blessed, now and forevermore. ³ From the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised. ⁴ The LORD is high above all nations, his glory above the heavens. ⁵ Who is like the LORD our God, who is enthroned on high, ⁶ who stoops down to view both heaven and earth? ⁷ He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the dunghill ⁸ to seat them with princes, with the princes of his people. ⁹ He settles the barren woman in her home, as a joyful mother of children. Praise the LORD. ¹¹⁴ ¹ When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign language, ² Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion. ³ The sea looked and fled; the Jordan turned back; ⁴ The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs. ⁵ What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Jordan, that you turned back? ⁶ O mountains, that you skipped like rams? O hills, like lambs? ⁷ Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob, ⁸ who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of waters. ¹¹⁵ ¹ Not to us, LORD, not to us, but to your name be given glory on account of your gracious love and faithfulness. ² Why do the nations say, Where is their God now? ³ Our God is in heaven. He does whatever he pleases. ⁴ Their idols, are silver and gold, the works of the hands of men,— ⁵ They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see. ⁶ they have ears, but they cannot hear; they have noses, but they cannot smell; ⁷ They have hands but they cannot feel: They have feet, but they cannot walk: nor can they utter a sound with their throat. ⁸ Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them. ⁹ House of Israel, trust in the LORD; He is their Help and their Shield." ¹⁰ O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. ¹¹ You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their helper and shield. ¹² The LORD remembers us. He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel. He will bless the house of Aaron. ¹³ He will bless those who fear the LORD, both small and great. ¹⁴ May the LORD give you increase, you and your children. ¹⁵ May you be blessed by the LORD, who made heaven and earth. ¹⁶ The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but he gave the earth to human beings. ¹⁷ The dead do not praise the LORD, nor any who go down into silence, ¹⁸ but we will bless the LORD, from now on and forever. Praise the LORD! ¹¹⁶ ¹ I love the LORD because he has heard my prayer for mercy; ² Because he has turned his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live. ³ The cords of death compassed me, and the pains of Sheol gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow ⁴ Then I called on the name of the LORD: "O LORD, please save my life!" ⁵ The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is compassionate; ⁶ The LORD preserves the simple. I was brought low, and he saved me. ⁷ Return to your rest, O soul; for the LORD has blessed you. ⁸ For You have delivered my soul from death, my eye from tears, my feet from stumbling. ⁹ I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living. ¹⁰ I believed, therefore I said, "I am greatly afflicted." ¹¹ I said in my haste, "All men are liars." ¹² How can I repay the LORD for all the good that he has done for me? ¹³ I will lift up the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD. ¹⁴ I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people. ¹⁵ Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. ¹⁶ LORD, truly I am your servant. I am your servant, the son of your handmaid. You have freed me from my chains. ¹⁷ I will bring you a thanksgiving offering and call on the name of the LORD! ¹⁸ I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people, ¹⁹ in the courts of the house of the LORD; in your midst, O Jerusalem. Praise the LORD! ¹¹⁷ ¹ Praise the LORD, all you nations; extol him, all you peoples. ² For his mercy is great toward us; and the truth of the LORD [endureth] for ever. Praise ye the LORD ¹¹⁸ ¹ Give thanks to the LORD for He is good, for His grace endures forever. ² Let Israel say, "His loyal love is forever." ³ Let the house of Aaron say, "His loyal love is forever." ⁴ Let those who fear the LORD say, "His loyal love is forever." ⁵ In my distress I called to the LORD; he answered me and set me free. ⁶ the LORD is with me, I will not be afraid; what can man do to me? ⁷ the LORD is for me as my helper, and so I will look in triumph on those who hate me. ⁸ It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man. ⁹ It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in princes. ¹⁰ All the nations surrounded me, but in the name of the LORD, I cut them off. ¹¹ They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me. In the name of the LORD I indeed cut them off. ¹² They surrounded me like bees but they are quenched like the burning thorns. In the name of the LORD I cut them off. ¹³ I was pushed, yea pushed so as to fall, Yet the LORD, He helped me." ¹⁴ The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. ¹⁵ The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous; the right hand of the LORD does mighty things. ¹⁶ the LORD's right hand is exalted; the LORD's right hand does valiantly. ¹⁷ I shall not die: but live and proclaim the works of the Lord. ¹⁸ The LORD has chastened me severely: but he has not given me over unto death. ¹⁹ Open for me the gates of righteousness, and I will go in at them and give thanks to the Lord. ²⁰ This is the gate of the LORD, through which the righteous will enter. ²¹ I will give thee thanks, for thou hast answered me, and art become my salvation. ²² The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. ²³ From the LORD came this; It is marvelous in our eyes. ²⁴ This is the day the LORD has made let us rejoice and be glad in it! ²⁵ O Lord, save me: O Lord, give good success. ²⁶ Blessed be he that comes in the name of the LORD; from the house of the LORD we bless you. ²⁷ The LORD is God, and he has given us light. Bind the sacrifice with cords, even to the horns of the altar. ²⁸ You are my God, and I will give thanks to you. You are my God, I will exalt you. ²⁹ O give thanks to the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endures for ever. ¹¹⁹ ¹ ALEPH. Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the LORD. ² Blessed are those who keep his statutes, who seek him with their whole heart. ³ Yes, they do nothing wrong. They walk in his ways. ⁴ You have commanded your precepts, that we should fully obey them. ⁵ Oh that my ways were steadfast to obey your statutes! ⁶ Then I would not be ashamed when I look to all your commands. ⁷ I will praise you with an upright heart, as I learn your righteous decrees. ⁸ I will heed your statutes; do not utterly forsake me. ⁹ BET How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word. ¹⁰ I have sought you with all of my heart; do not let me drift away from your commands. ¹¹ I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you. ¹² Praise you, O LORD. Teach me your statutes. ¹³ With my lips I recount All the ordinances from Your mouth. ¹⁴ I rejoice in the way of your witnesses as over all wealth; ¹⁵ I will meditate on your precepts, and consider your ways. ¹⁶ I am delighted with your statutes; I will not forget your word. ¹⁷ GIMEL Do good to your servant.

Teach me your statutes. ²⁷ Let me understand the teaching of your precepts! Then I will meditate on your wondrous works. ²⁸ My soul is weary with sorrow: strengthen me according to your word. ²⁹ Remove from me the deceptive way, and graciously give me your law. ³⁰ I have chosen the way of truth. I have set your ordinances before me. ³¹ I cling to your testimonies; O LORD, do not let me be put to shame. ³² I run in the path of your commandments, for you have set my heart free. ³³ HEY Teach me, LORD, the way of your statutes. I will keep them to the end. ³⁴ Make me understand, and I will preserve Your law And keep it with all my heart." ³⁵ aim me in the path of your misvoth; for therein I delight: ³⁶ Turn my heart toward your statutes, not toward selfish gain. ³⁷ Turn my eyes away from looking at worthless things.
