Psalms 96:1-150:6

YLT(i) 1 Sing to Jehovah a new song, Sing to Jehovah all the earth. 2 Sing to Jehovah, bless His name, Proclaim from day to day His salvation. 3 Declare among nations His honour, Among all the peoples His wonders. 4 For great is Jehovah, and praised greatly, Fearful He is over all gods. 5 For all the gods of the peoples are nought, And Jehovah made the heavens. 6 Honour and majesty are before Him, Strength and beauty in His sanctuary. 7 Ascribe to Jehovah, O families of the peoples, Ascribe to Jehovah honour and strength. 8 Ascribe to Jehovah the honour of His name, Lift up a present and come in to His courts. 9 Bow yourselves to Jehovah, In the honour of holiness, Be afraid of His presence, all the earth.
10 Say among nations, `Jehovah hath reigned, Also—established is the world, unmoved, He judgeth the peoples in uprightness.' 11 The heavens joy, and the earth is joyful, The sea and its fulness roar. 12 The field exulteth, and all that is in it, Then sing do all trees of the forest, 13 Before Jehovah, for He hath come, For He hath come to judge the earth. He judgeth the world in righteousness, And the peoples in His faithfulness!
97 1 Jehovah hath reigned, The earth is joyful, many isles rejoice. 2 Cloud and darkness are round about Him, Righteousness and judgment the basis of His throne. 3 Fire before Him goeth, And burneth round about His adversaries. 4 Lightened have His lightnings the world, The earth hath seen, and is pained. 5 Hills, like wax, melted before Jehovah, Before the Lord of all the earth. 6 The heavens declared His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His honour. 7 Ashamed are all servants of a graven image, Those boasting themselves in idols, Bow yourselves to him, all ye gods.
8 Zion hath heard and rejoiceth, And daughters of Judah are joyful, Because of Thy judgments, O Jehovah. 9 For Thou, Jehovah, art Most High over all the earth, Greatly Thou hast been exalted over all gods. 10 Ye who love Jehovah, hate evil, He is keeping the souls of His saints, From the hand of the wicked he delivereth them. 11 Light is sown for the righteous, And for the upright of heart—joy. 12 Rejoice, ye righteous, in Jehovah, And give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness!
98 1 A Psalm. Sing ye to Jehovah a new song, For wonders He hath done, Given salvation to Him hath His right hand and His holy arm. 2 Jehovah hath made known His salvation, Before the eyes of the nations, He hath revealed His righteousness, 3 He hath remembered His kindness, And His faithfulness to the house of Israel, All ends of earth have seen the salvation of our God.
4 Shout to Jehovah, all the earth, Break forth, and cry aloud, and sing. 5 Sing to Jehovah with harp, With harp, and voice of praise, 6 With trumpets, and voice of a cornet, Shout ye before the king Jehovah. 7 Roar doth the sea and its fulness, The world and the inhabitants in it. 8 Floods clap hand, together hills cry aloud, 9 Before Jehovah, For He hath come to judge the earth, He judgeth the world in righteousness, And the people in uprightness!
99 1 Jehovah hath reigned, peoples tremble, The Inhabitant of the cherubs, the earth shaketh. 2 Jehovah in Zion is great, And high He is over all the peoples. 3 They praise Thy name, `Great, and fearful, holy it is.' 4 And the strength of the king Hath loved judgment, Thou—Thou hast established uprightness; Judgment and righteousness in Jacob, Thou—Thou hast done. 5 Exalt ye Jehovah our God, And bow yourselves at His footstool, holy is He.
6 Moses and Aaron among His priests, And Samuel among those proclaiming His name. They are calling unto Jehovah, And He doth answer them. 7 In a pillar of cloud He speaketh unto them, They have kept His testimonies, And the statute He hath given to them. 8 O Jehovah, our God, Thou hast afflicted them, A God forgiving Thou hast been to them, And taking vengeance on their actions. 9 Exalt ye Jehovah our God, And bow yourselves at His holy hill, For holy is Jehovah our God!
100 1 A Psalm of Thanksgiving. Shout to Jehovah, all the earth. 2 Serve Jehovah with joy, come before him with singing. 3 Know that Jehovah He is God, He made us, and we are His, His people—and the flock of His pasture. 4 Enter ye His gates with thanksgiving, His courts with praise, Give ye thanks to Him, bless ye His Name. 5 For good is Jehovah, to the age His kindness, And to generation and generation His faithfulness!
101 1 A Psalm of David. Kindness and judgment I sing, To Thee, O Jehovah, I sing praise. 2 I act wisely in a perfect way, When dost Thou come in unto me? I walk habitually in the integrity of my heart, In the midst of my house. 3 I set not before mine eyes a worthless thing, The work of those turning aside I have hated, It adhereth not to me. 4 A perverse heart turneth aside from me, Wickedness I know not. 5 Whoso slandereth in secret his neighbour, Him I cut off, The high of eyes and proud of heart, him I endure not. 6 Mine eyes are on the faithful of the land, To dwell with me, Whoso is walking in a perfect way, he serveth me. 7 He dwelleth not in my house who is working deceit, Whoso is speaking lies Is not established before mine eyes. 8 At morning I cut off all the wicked of the land, To cut off from the city of Jehovah All the workers of iniquity!
102 1 A Prayer of the afflicted when he is feeble, and before Jehovah poureth out his plaint. O Jehovah, hear my prayer, yea, my cry to Thee cometh. 2 Hide not Thou Thy face from me, In a day of mine adversity, Incline unto me Thine ear, In the day I call, haste, answer me. 3 For consumed in smoke have been my days, And my bones as a fire-brand have burned. 4 Smitten as the herb, and withered, is my heart, For I have forgotten to eat my bread. 5 From the voice of my sighing Hath my bone cleaved to my flesh. 6 I have been like to a pelican of the wilderness, I have been as an owl of the dry places. 7 I have watched, and I am As a bird alone on the roof. 8 All the day mine enemies reproached me, Those mad at me have sworn against me. 9 Because ashes as bread I have eaten, And my drink with weeping have mingled, 10 From Thine indignation and Thy wrath, For Thou hast lifted me up, And dost cast me down. 11 My days as a shadow are stretched out, And I—as the herb I am withered.
12 And Thou, O Jehovah, to the age abidest, And Thy memorial to all generations. 13 Thou—Thou risest—Thou pitiest Zion, For the time to favour her, For the appointed time hath come. 14 For Thy servants have been pleased with her stones, And her dust they favour. 15 And nations fear the name of Jehovah, And all kings of the earth Thine honour, 16 For Jehovah hath builded Zion, He hath been seen in His honour, 17 He turned unto the prayer of the destitute, And He hath not despised their prayer. 18 This is written for a later generation, And the people created do praise Jah. 19 For He hath looked From the high place of His sanctuary. Jehovah from heaven unto earth looked attentively, 20 To hear the groan of the prisoner, To loose sons of death, 21 To declare in Zion the name of Jehovah, And His praise in Jerusalem, 22 In the peoples being gathered together, And the kingdoms—to serve Jehovah.
23 He hath humbled in the way my power, He hath shortened my days. 24 I say, `My God, take me not up in the midst of my days,' Through all generations are Thine years. 25 Beforetime the earth Thou didst found, And the work of Thy hands are the heavens. 26 They—They perish, and Thou remainest, And all of them as a garment become old, As clothing Thou changest them, And they are changed. 27 And Thou art the same, and Thine years are not finished. 28 The sons of Thy servants do continue, And their seed before Thee is established!
103 1 By David. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And all my inward parts—His Holy Name. 2 Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And forget not all His benefits, 3 Who is forgiving all thine iniquities, Who is healing all thy diseases, 4 Who is redeeming from destruction thy life, Who is crowning thee—kindness and mercies, 5 Who is satisfying with good thy desire, Renew itself as an eagle doth thy youth.
6 Jehovah is doing righteousness and judgments For all the oppressed. 7 He maketh known His ways to Moses, To the sons of Israel His acts. 8 Merciful and gracious is Jehovah, Slow to anger, and abundant in mercy. 9 Not for ever doth He strive, Nor to the age doth He watch. 10 Not according to our sins hath He done to us, Nor according to our iniquities Hath He conferred benefits upon us. 11 For, as the height of the heavens is above the earth, His kindness hath been mighty over those fearing Him. 12 As the distance of east from west He hath put far from us our transgressions. 13 As a father hath mercy on sons, Jehovah hath mercy on those fearing Him. 14 For He hath known our frame, Remembering that we are dust. 15 Mortal man! as grass are his days, As a flower of the field so he flourisheth; 16 For a wind hath passed over it, and it is not, And its place doth not discern it any more. 17 And the kindness of Jehovah Is from age even unto age on those fearing Him, And His righteousness to sons' sons, 18 To those keeping His covenant, And to those remembering His precepts to do them.
19 Jehovah in the heavens Hath established His throne, And His kingdom over all hath ruled. 20 Bless Jehovah, ye His messengers, Mighty in power—doing His word, To hearken to the voice of His Word. 21 Bless Jehovah, all ye His hosts, His ministers—doing His pleasure. 22 Bless Jehovah, all ye His works, In all places of His dominion. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah!
104 1 Bless, O my soul, Jehovah! Jehovah, my God, Thou hast been very great, Honour and majesty Thou hast put on. 2 Covering himself with light as a garment, Stretching out the heavens as a curtain, 3 Who is laying the beam of His upper chambers in the waters, Who is making thick clouds His chariot, Who is walking on wings of wind, 4 Making His messengers—the winds, His ministers—the flaming fire. 5 He hath founded earth on its bases, It is not moved to the age and for ever. 6 The abyss! as with clothing Thou hast covered it, Above hills do waters stand. 7 From Thy rebuke they flee, From the voice of Thy thunder haste away. 8 They go up hills—they go down valleys, Unto a place Thou hast founded for them. 9 A border Thou hast set, they pass not over, They turn not back to cover the earth.
10 Who is sending forth fountains in valleys, Between hills they go on. 11 They water every beast of the field, Wild asses break their thirst. 12 By them the fowl of the heavens doth dwell, From between the branches They give forth the voice. 13 Watering hills from His upper chambers, From the fruit of Thy works is the earth satisfied. 14 Causing grass to spring up for cattle, And herb for the service of man, To bring forth bread from the earth, 15 And wine—it rejoiceth the heart of man, To cause the face to shine from oil, And bread—the heart of man it supporteth. 16 Satisfied are the trees of Jehovah, Cedars of Lebanon that He hath planted, 17 Where birds do make nests, The stork—the firs are her house. 18 The high hills are for wild goats, Rocks are a refuge for conies,
19 He made the moon for seasons, The sun hath known his place of entrance. 20 Thou settest darkness, and it is night, In it doth every beast of the forest creep. 21 The young lions are roaring for prey, And to seek from God their food. 22 The sun riseth, they are gathered, And in their dens they crouch. 23 Man goeth forth to his work, And to his service—till evening. 24 How many have been Thy works, O Jehovah, All of them in wisdom Thou hast made, Full is the earth of thy possessions. 25 This, the sea, great and broad of sides, There are moving things—innumerable, Living creatures—small with great. 26 There do ships go: leviathan, That Thou hast formed to play in it. 27 All of them unto Thee do look, To give their food in its season. 28 Thou dost give to them—they gather, Thou dost open Thy hand—they are satisfied with good. 29 Thou hidest Thy face—they are troubled, Thou gatherest their spirit—they expire, And unto their dust they turn back. 30 Thou sendest out Thy Spirit, they are created, And Thou renewest the face of the ground.
31 The honour of Jehovah is to the age, Jehovah rejoiceth in His works, 32 Who is looking to earth, and it trembleth, He cometh against hills, and they smoke. 33 I sing to Jehovah during my life, I sing praise to my God while I exist. 34 Sweet is my meditation on Him, I—I do rejoice in Jehovah. 35 Consumed are sinners from the earth, And the wicked are no more. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah. Praise ye Jehovah!
105 1 Give ye thanks to Jehovah—call ye in His name, Make known among the peoples His acts. 2 Sing ye to Him—sing praise to Him, Meditate ye on all His wonders. 3 Boast yourselves in His Holy Name, The heart of those seeking Jehovah rejoiceth. 4 Seek ye Jehovah and His strength, Seek ye His face continually. 5 Remember His wonders that He did, His signs and the judgments of His mouth. 6 O seed of Abraham, His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones. 7 He is Jehovah our God, In all the earth are His judgments.
8 He hath remembered to the age His covenant, The word He commanded to a thousand generations, 9 That He hath made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac, 10 And doth establish it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel—a covenant age-during, 11 Saying, `To thee I give the land of Canaan, The portion of your inheritance,' 12 In their being few in number, But a few, and sojourners in it. 13 And they go up and down, from nation unto nation, From a kingdom unto another people. 14 He hath not suffered any to oppress them And He reproveth for their sakes kings. 15 `Strike not against Mine anointed, And to My prophets do not evil.' 16 And He calleth a famine on the land, The whole staff of bread He hath broken. 17 He hath sent before them a man, For a servant hath Joseph been sold. 18 They have afflicted with fetters his feet, Iron hath entered his soul, 19 Till the time of the coming of His word The saying of Jehovah hath tried him. 20 The king hath sent, and looseth him, The ruler of the peoples, and draweth him out. 21 He hath made him lord of his house, And ruler over all his possessions. 22 To bind his chiefs at his pleasure, And his elders he maketh wise. 23 And Israel cometh in to Egypt, And Jacob hath sojourned in the land of Ham. 24 And He maketh His people very fruitful, And maketh it mightier than its adversaries.
25 He turned their heart to hate His people, To conspire against His servants. 26 He hath sent Moses His servant, Aaron whom He had fixed on. 27 They have set among them the matters of His signs, And wonders in the land of Ham. 28 He hath sent darkness, and it is dark, And they have not provoked His word. 29 He hath turned their waters to blood, And putteth to death their fish. 30 Teemed hath their land with frogs, In the inner chambers of their kings. 31 He hath said, and the beetle cometh, Lice into all their border. 32 He hath made their showers hail, A flaming fire is in their land. 33 And He smiteth their vine and their fig, And shivereth the trees of their border. 34 He hath said, and the locust cometh, And the cankerworm—innumerable, 35 And it consumeth every herb in their land, And it consumeth the fruit of their ground. 36 And He smiteth every first-born in their land, The first-fruit of all their strength, 37 And bringeth them out with silver and gold, And there is not in its tribes a feeble one. 38 Rejoiced hath Egypt in their going forth, For their fear had fallen upon them. 39 He hath spread a cloud for a covering, And fire to enlighten the night. 40 They have asked, and He bringeth quails, And with bread of heaven satisfieth them. 41 He hath opened a rock, and waters issue, They have gone on in dry places—a river. 42 For He hath remembered His holy word, With Abraham His servant, 43 And He bringeth forth His people with joy, With singing His chosen ones. 44 And He giveth to them the lands of nations, And the labour of peoples they possess, 45 That they may observe His statutes, And His laws may keep. Praise ye Jehovah!
106 1 Praise ye Jah, give thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age, is His kindness. 2 Who doth utter the mighty acts of Jehovah? Soundeth all His praise? 3 O the happiness of those keeping judgment, Doing righteousness at all times. 4 Remember me, O Jehovah, With the favour of Thy people, Look after me in Thy salvation. 5 To look on the good of Thy chosen ones, To rejoice in the joy of Thy nation, To boast myself with Thine inheritance.
6 We have sinned with our fathers, We have done perversely, we have done wickedly. 7 Our fathers in Egypt, Have not considered wisely Thy wonders, They have not remembered The abundance of Thy kind acts, And provoke by the sea, at the sea of Suph. 8 And He saveth them for His name's sake, To make known His might, 9 And rebuketh the sea of Suph, and it is dried up, And causeth them to go Through depths as a wilderness. 10 And He saveth them from the hand Of him who is hating, And redeemeth them from the hand of the enemy. 11 And waters cover their adversaries, One of them hath not been left. 12 And they believe in His words, they sing His praise,
13 They have hasted—forgotten His works, They have not waited for His counsel. 14 And they lust greatly in a wilderness, And try God in a desert. 15 And He giveth to them their request, And sendeth leanness into their soul. 16 And they are envious of Moses in the camp, Of Aaron, Jehovah's holy one. 17 Earth openeth, and swalloweth up Dathan, And covereth over the company of Abiram. 18 And fire burneth among their company, A flame setteth on fire the wicked. 19 They make a calf in Horeb, And bow themselves to a molten image, 20 And change their Honour Into the form of an ox eating herbs. 21 They have forgotten God their saviour, The doer of great things in Egypt, 22 Of wonderful things in the land of Ham, Of fearful things by the sea of Suph. 23 And He saith to destroy them, Unless Moses, His chosen one, Had stood in the breach before Him, To turn back His wrath from destroying. 24 And they kick against the desirable land, They have not given credence to His word. 25 And they murmur in their tents, They have not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah. 26 And He lifteth up His hand to them, To cause them to fall in a wilderness, 27 And to cause their seed to fall among nations, And to scatter them through lands. 28 And they are coupled to Baal-Peor, And eat the sacrifices of the dead, 29 And they provoke to anger by their actions, And a plague breaketh forth upon them, 30 And Phinehas standeth, and executeth judgment, And the plague is restrained, 31 And it is reckoned to him to righteousness, To all generations—unto the age. 32 And they cause wrath by the waters of Meribah, And it is evil to Moses for their sakes, 33 For they have provoked his spirit, And he speaketh wrongfully with his lips.
34 They have not destroyed the peoples, As Jehovah had said to them, 35 And mix themselves among nations, and learn their works, 36 And serve their idols, And they are to them for a snare. 37 And they sacrifice their sons And their daughters to destroyers, 38 And they shed innocent blood—Blood of their sons and of their daughters, Whom they have sacrificed to idols of Canaan, And the land is profaned with blood. 39 And they are defiled with their works, And commit whoredom in their habitual doings. 40 And the anger of Jehovah Is kindled against His people, And He doth abominate His inheritance. 41 And giveth them into the hand of nations, And those hating them rule over them, 42 And their enemies oppress them, And they are humbled under their hand. 43 Many times He doth deliver them, And they rebel in their counsel, And they are brought low in their iniquity. 44 And He looketh on their distress When He heareth their cry, 45 And remembereth for them His covenant, And is comforted, According to the abundance of His kindness. 46 And He appointeth them for mercies Before all their captors. 47 Save us, O Jehovah our God, and gather us from the nations, To give thanks to Thy holy name, To glory in Thy praise. 48 Blessed is Jehovah, God of Israel, From the age even unto the age. And all the people said, `Amen, praise Jah!'
107 1 `Give ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age is His kindness:' 2 Let the redeemed of Jehovah say, Whom He redeemed from the hand of an adversary. 3 And from the lands hath gathered them, From east and from west, From north, and from the sea. 4 They wandered in a wilderness, in a desert by the way, A city of habitation they have not found. 5 Hungry—yea—thirsty, Their soul in them becometh feeble, 6 And they cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distress He delivereth them, 7 And causeth them to tread in a right way, To go unto a city of habitation. 8 They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men. 9 For He hath satisfied a longing soul, And a hungry soul hath filled with goodness.
10 Inhabitants of dark places and death-shade, Prisoners of affliction and of iron, 11 Because they changed the saying of God, And the counsel of the Most High despised. 12 And He humbleth with labour their heart, They have been feeble, and there is no helper. 13 And they cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distresses He saveth them. 14 He bringeth them out from the dark place, And death-shade, And their bands He draweth away. 15 They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men. 16 For He hath broken doors of brass, And bars of iron He hath cut.
17 Fools, by means of their transgression, And by their iniquities, afflict themselves. 18 All food doth their soul abominate, And they come nigh unto the gates of death, 19 And cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distresses He saveth them, 20 He sendeth His word and healeth them, And delivereth from their destructions. 21 They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men, 22 And they sacrifice sacrifices of thanksgiving, And recount His works with singing.
23 Those going down to the sea in ships, Doing business in many waters, 24 They have seen the works of Jehovah, And His wonders in the deep. 25 And He saith, and appointeth a tempest, And it lifteth up its billows, 26 They go up to the heavens, they go down to the depths, Their soul in evil is melted. 27 They reel to and fro, and move as a drunkard, And all their wisdom is swallowed up. 28 And they cry to Jehovah in their adversity, And from their distresses He bringeth them out. 29 He establisheth a whirlwind to a calm, And hushed are their billows. 30 And they rejoice because they are quiet, And He leadeth them to the haven of their desire. 31 They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men, 32 And they exalt Him in the assembly of the people, And in the seat of the elders praise Him.
33 He maketh rivers become a wilderness, And fountains of waters become dry land. 34 A fruitful land becometh a barren place, For the wickedness of its inhabitants. 35 He maketh a wilderness become a pool of water, And a dry land become fountains of waters. 36 And He causeth the hungry to dwell there, And they prepare a city of habitation. 37 And they sow fields, and plant vineyards, And they make fruits of increase. 38 And He blesseth them, and they multiply exceedingly, And their cattle He doth not diminish. 39 And they are diminished, and bow down, By restraint, evil, and sorrow. 40 He is pouring contempt upon nobles, And causeth them to wander in vacancy—no way. 41 And setteth on high the needy from affliction, And placeth families as a flock. 42 The upright do see and rejoice, And all perversity hath shut her mouth. 43 Who is wise, and observeth these? They understand the kind acts of Jehovah!
108 1 A Song, a Psalm of David. Prepared is my heart, O God, I sing, yea, I sing praise, also my honour. 2 Awake, psaltery and harp, I awake the dawn. 3 I thank Thee among peoples, O Jehovah, And I praise Thee among the nations. 4 For great above the heavens is Thy kindness, And unto the clouds Thy truth. 5 Be Thou exalted above the heavens, O God, And above all the earth Thy honour.
6 That Thy beloved ones may be delivered, Save with Thy right hand, and answer us. 7 God hath spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure, 8 Mine is Gilead, mine is Manasseh, And Ephraim is the strength of my head, Judah is my lawgiver, 9 Moab is a pot for my washing, Upon Edom I cast my shoe, Over Philistia I shout habitually. 10 Who doth bring me in to the fenced city? Who hath led me unto Edom? 11 Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not out, O God, with our hosts! 12 Give to us help from adversity, And vain is the salvation of man. 13 In God we do mightily, And He doth tread down our adversaries!
109 1 To the Overseer. —A Psalm of David. O God of my praise, be not silent, 2 For the mouth of wickedness, and the mouth of deceit, Against me they have opened, They have spoken with me—A tongue of falsehood, and words of hatred! 3 They have compassed me about, And they fight me without cause. 4 For my love they oppose me, and I—prayer! 5 And they set against me evil for good, And hatred for my love.
6 Appoint Thou over him the wicked, And an adversary standeth at his right hand. 7 In his being judged, he goeth forth wicked, And his prayer is for sin. 8 His days are few, his oversight another taketh, 9 His sons are fatherless, and his wife a widow. 10 And wander continually do his sons, Yea, they have begged, And have sought out of their dry places. 11 An exactor layeth a snare for all that he hath, And strangers spoil his labour. 12 He hath none to extend kindness, Nor is there one showing favour to his orphans. 13 His posterity is for cutting off, In another generation is their name blotted out. 14 The iniquity of his fathers Is remembered unto Jehovah, And the sin of his mother is not blotted out. 15 They are before Jehovah continually, And He cutteth off from earth their memorial. 16 Because that he hath not remembered to do kindness, And pursueth the poor man and needy, And the smitten of heart—to slay, 17 And he loveth reviling, and it meeteth him, And he hath not delighted in blessing, And it is far from him. 18 And he putteth on reviling as his robe, And it cometh in as water into his midst, And as oil into his bones. 19 It is to him as apparel—he covereth himself, And for a continual girdle he girdeth it on. 20 This is the wage of mine accusers from Jehovah, And of those speaking evil against my soul.
21 And Thou, O Jehovah Lord, Deal with me for Thy name's sake, Because Thy kindness is good, deliver me. 22 For I am poor and needy, And my heart hath been pierced in my midst. 23 As a shadow when it is stretched out I have gone, I have been driven away as a locust. 24 My knees have been feeble from fasting, And my flesh hath failed of fatness. 25 And I—I have been a reproach to them, They see me, they shake their head. 26 Help me, O Jehovah my God, Save me, according to Thy kindness. 27 And they know that this is Thy hand, Thou, O Jehovah, Thou hast done it. 28 They revile, and Thou dost bless, They have risen, and are ashamed, And Thy servant doth rejoice. 29 Mine accusers put on blushing, and are covered, As an upper robe is their shame. 30 I thank Jehovah greatly with my mouth, And in the midst of many I praise Him, 31 For He standeth at the right hand of the needy, To save from those judging his soul.
110 1 A Psalm of David. The affirmation of Jehovah to my Lord: `Sit at My right hand, Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.' 2 The rod of thy strength doth Jehovah send from Zion, Rule in the midst of thine enemies. 3 Thy people are free-will gifts in the day of Thy strength, in the honours of holiness, From the womb, from the morning, Thou hast the dew of thy youth. 4 Jehovah hath sworn, and doth not repent, `Thou art a priest to the age, According to the order of Melchizedek.'
5 The Lord on thy right hand smote kings In the day of His anger. 6 He doth judge among the nations, He hath completed the carcases, Hath smitten the head over the mighty earth. 7 From a brook in the way he drinketh, Therefore he doth lift up the head!
111 1 Praise ye Jah! I thank Jehovah with the whole heart, In the secret meeting of the upright, And of the company. 2 Great are the works of Jehovah, Sought out by all desiring them. 3 Honourable and majestic is His work, And His righteousness is standing for ever. 4 A memorial He hath made of His wonders, Gracious and merciful is Jehovah. 5 Prey He hath given to those fearing Him, He remembereth to the age His covenant.
6 The power of His works He hath declared to His people, To give to them the inheritance of nations. 7 The works of His hands are true and just, Stedfast are all His appointments. 8 They are sustained for ever to the age. They are made in truth and uprightness. 9 Redemption He hath sent to His people, He hath appointed to the age His covenant, Holy and fearful is His name. 10 The beginning of wisdom is fear of Jehovah, Good understanding have all doing them, His praise is standing for ever!
112 1 Praise ye Jah! O the happiness of one fearing Jehovah, In His commands he hath delighted greatly. 2 Mighty in the earth is his seed, The generation of the upright is blessed. 3 Wealth and riches are in his house, And his righteousness is standing for ever. 4 Light hath risen in darkness to the upright, Gracious, and merciful, and righteous. 5 Good is the man—gracious and lending, He sustaineth his matters in judgment.
6 For—to the age he is not moved; For a memorial age-during is the righteous. 7 Of an evil report he is not afraid, Prepared is His heart, confident in Jehovah. 8 Sustained is his heart—he feareth not, Till that he look on his adversaries. 9 He hath scattered—hath given to the needy, His righteousness is standing for ever, His horn is exalted with honour. 10 The wicked seeth, and hath been angry, His teeth he gnasheth, and hath melted, The desire of the wicked doth perish!
113 1 Praise ye Jah! Praise, ye servants of Jehovah. Praise the name of Jehovah. 2 The name of Jehovah is blessed, From henceforth, and unto the age. 3 From the rising of the sun unto its going in, Praised is the name of Jehovah. 4 High above all nations is Jehovah, Above the heavens is his honour. 5 Who is as Jehovah our God, He is exalting Himself to sit? 6 He is humbling Himself to look On the heavens and on the earth. 7 He is raising up from the dust the poor, From a dunghill He exalteth the needy. 8 To cause to sit with princes, With the princes of His people. 9 Causing the barren one of the house to sit, A joyful mother of sons; praise ye Jah!
114 1 In the going out of Israel from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a strange people, 2 Judah became His sanctuary, Israel his dominion. 3 The sea hath seen, and fleeth, The Jordan turneth backward. 4 The mountains have skipped as rams, Heights as sons of a flock. 5 What—to thee, O sea, that thou fleest? O Jordan, thou turnest back! 6 O mountains, ye skip as rams! O heights, as sons of a flock! 7 From before the Lord be afraid, O earth, From before the God of Jacob, 8 He is turning the rock to a pool of waters, The flint to a fountain of waters!
115 1 Not to us, O Jehovah, not to us, But to Thy name give honour, For Thy kindness, for Thy truth. 2 Why do the nations say, `Where, pray, is their God. 3 And our God is in the heavens, All that He hath pleased He hath done. 4 Their idols are silver and gold, work of man's hands, 5 A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not, 6 Ears they have, and they hear not, A nose they have, and they smell not, 7 Their hands, but they handle not, Their feet, and they walk not; 8 Nor do they mutter through their throat, Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.
9 O Israel, trust in Jehovah, `Their help and their shield is He.' 10 O house of Aaron, trust in Jehovah, `Their help and their shield is He.' 11 Ye fearing Jehovah, trust in Jehovah, `Their help and their shield is He.' 12 Jehovah hath remembered us, He blesseth, He blesseth the house of Israel, He blesseth the house of Aaron, 13 He blesseth those fearing Jehovah, The small with the great. 14 Jehovah addeth to you, to you, and to your sons. 15 Blessed are ye of Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth, 16 The heavens—the heavens are Jehovah's, And the earth He hath given to sons of men, 17 The dead praise not Jah, Nor any going down to silence. 18 And we, we bless Jah, From henceforth, and unto the age. Praise ye Jah!
116 1 I have loved, because Jehovah heareth My voice, my supplication, 2 Because He hath inclined His ear to me, And during my days I call. 3 Compassed me have cords of death, And straits of Sheol have found me, Distress and sorrow I find. 4 And in the name of Jehovah I call: I pray Thee, O Jehovah, deliver my soul, 5 Gracious is Jehovah, and righteous, Yea, our God is merciful, 6 A preserver of the simple is Jehovah, I was low, and to me He giveth salvation. 7 Turn back, O my soul, to thy rest, For Jehovah hath conferred benefits on thee. 8 For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, my feet from overthrowing. 9 I walk habitually before Jehovah In the lands of the living.
10 I have believed, for I speak, I—I have been afflicted greatly. 11 I said in my haste, `Every man is a liar.' 12 What do I return to Jehovah? All His benefits are upon me. 13 The cup of salvation I lift up, And in the name of Jehovah I call. 14 My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people. 15 Precious in the eyes of Jehovah is the death for His saints. 16 Cause it to come, O Jehovah, for I am Thy servant. I am Thy servant, son of Thy handmaid, Thou hast opened my bonds. 17 To Thee I sacrifice a sacrifice of thanks, And in the name of Jehovah I call. 18 My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people, 19 In the courts of the house of Jehovah, In thy midst, O Jerusalem, praise ye Jah!
117 1 Praise Jehovah, all ye nations, Glorify Him, all ye peoples. 2 For mighty to us hath been His kindness, And the truth of Jehovah is to the age. Praise ye Jah!
118 1 Give ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age is His kindness. 2 I pray you, let Israel say, That, to the age is His kindness. 3 I pray you, let the house of Aaron say, That, to the age is His kindness. 4 I pray you, let those fearing Jehovah say, That, to the age is His kindness. 5 From the straitness I called Jah, Jah answered me in a broad place. 6 Jehovah is for me, I do not fear what man doth to me. 7 Jehovah is for me among my helpers, And I—I look on those hating me. 8 Better to take refuge in Jehovah than to trust in man, 9 Better to take refuge in Jehovah, Than to trust in princes. 10 All nations have compassed me about, In the name of Jehovah I surely cut them off. 11 They have compassed me about, Yea, they have compassed me about, In the name of Jehovah I surely cut them off. 12 They compassed me about as bees, They have been extinguished as a fire of thorns, In the name of Jehovah I surely cut them off. 13 Thou hast sorely thrust me to fall, And Jehovah hath helped me. 14 My strength and song is Jah, And He is to me for salvation. 15 A voice of singing and salvation, Is in the tents of the righteous, The right hand of Jehovah is doing valiantly. 16 The right hand of Jehovah is exalted, The right hand of Jehovah is doing valiantly. 17 I do not die, but live, And recount the works of Jah, 18 Jah hath sorely chastened me, And to death hath not given me up.
19 Open ye to me gates of righteousness, I enter into them—I thank Jah. 20 This is the gate to Jehovah, The righteous enter into it. 21 I thank Thee, for Thou hast answered me, And art to me for salvation. 22 A stone the builders refused Hath become head of a corner. 23 From Jehovah hath this been, It is wonderful in our eyes, 24 This is the day Jehovah hath made, We rejoice and are glad in it. 25 I beseech Thee, O Jehovah, save, I pray Thee, I beseech Thee, O Jehovah, prosper, I pray Thee. 26 Blessed is he who is coming In the name of Jehovah, We blessed you from the house of Jehovah, 27 God is Jehovah, and He giveth to us light, Direct ye the festal-sacrifice with cords, Unto the horns of the altar. 28 My God Thou art, and I confess Thee, My God, I exalt Thee. 29 Give ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age, is His kindness!
119 1 Aleph. O the happiness of those perfect in the way, They are walking in the law of Jehovah, 2 O the happiness of those keeping His testimonies, With the whole heart they seek Him. 3 Yea, they have not done iniquity, In His ways they have walked.
4 Thou hast commanded us Thy precepts to keep diligently, 5 O that my ways were prepared to keep Thy statutes, 6 Then I am not ashamed In my looking unto all Thy commands.
7 I confess Thee with uprightness of heart, In my learning the judgments of Thy righteousness. 8 Thy statutes I keep, leave me not utterly!

21 Thou hast rebuked the cursed proud, Who are erring from Thy commands.
22 Remove from me reproach and contempt, For Thy testimonies I have kept.
23 Princes also sat—against me they spoke, Thy servant doth meditate in Thy statutes,
24 Thy testimonies also are my delight, The men of my counsel!
25 Daleth. Cleaved to the dust hath my soul, Quicken me according to Thy word.
26 My ways I have recounted, And Thou answerest me, teach me Thy statutes, 27 The way of Thy precepts cause me to understand, And I meditate in Thy wonders.
28 My soul hath dropped from affliction, Establish me according to Thy word. 29 The way of falsehood turn aside from me And with Thy law favour me.
30 The way of faithfulness I have chosen, Thy judgments I have compared, 31 I have adhered to Thy testimonies, O Jehovah, put me not to shame. 32 The way of Thy commands I run, For Thou dost enlarge my heart!
33 He. Show me, O Jehovah, the way of Thy statutes, And I keep it—to the end. 34 Cause me to understand, and I keep Thy law, And observe it with the whole heart.
35 Cause me to tread in the path of Thy commands, For in it I have delighted. 36 Incline my heart unto Thy testimonies, And not unto dishonest gain.
37 Remove mine eyes from seeing vanity, In Thy way quicken Thou me.
38 Establish to Thy servant Thy saying, That is concerning Thy fear.
39 Remove my reproach that I have feared, For Thy judgments are good.
40 Lo, I have longed for Thy precepts, In Thy righteousness quicken Thou me,

43 And Thou takest not utterly away From my mouth the word of truth, Because for Thy judgment I have hoped. 44 And I keep Thy law continually, To the age and for ever.
45 And I walk habitually in a broad place, For Thy precepts I have sought. 46 And I speak of Thy testimonies before kings, And I am not ashamed. 47 And I delight myself in Thy commands, That I have loved, 48 And I lift up my hands unto Thy commands, That I have loved, And I do meditate on Thy statutes!

52 I remembered Thy judgments of old, O Jehovah, And I comfort myself.
53 Horror hath seized me, Because of the wicked forsaking Thy law.
54 Songs have been to me Thy statutes, In the house of my sojournings.
55 I have remembered in the night Thy name, O Jehovah, And I do keep Thy law. 56 This hath been to me, That Thy precepts I have kept!
57 Cheth. My portion is Jehovah; I have said—to keep Thy words,
58 I appeased Thy face with the whole heart, Favour me according to Thy saying.
59 I have reckoned my ways, And turn back my feet unto Thy testimonies. 60 I have made haste, And delayed not, to keep Thy commands.
61 Cords of the wicked have surrounded me, Thy law I have not forgotten.
62 At midnight I rise to give thanks to Thee, For the judgments of Thy righteousness.
63 A companion I am to all who fear Thee, And to those keeping Thy precepts.
64 Of Thy kindness, O Jehovah, the earth is full, Thy statutes teach Thou me!

84 How many are the days of Thy servant? When dost Thou execute Against my pursuers judgment?
85 The proud have digged for me pits, That are not according to Thy law. 86 All Thy commands are faithfulness, With falsehood they have pursued me, Help Thou me. 87 Almost consumed me on earth have they, And I—I have not forsaken Thy precepts.
88 According to Thy kindness quicken Thou me, And I keep the testimony of Thy mouth!
89 Lamed. To the age, O Jehovah, Thy word is set up in the heavens. 90 To all generations Thy faithfulness, Thou didst establish earth, and it standeth. 91 According to Thine ordinances They have stood this day, for the whole are Thy servants.

120 1 A Song of the Ascents. Unto Jehovah in my distress I have called, And He answereth me. 2 O Jehovah, deliver my soul from a lying lip, From a deceitful tongue! 3 What doth He give to thee? And what doth He add to thee? O deceitful tongue! 4 Sharp arrows of a mighty one, with broom-coals.
5 Woe to me, for I have inhabited Mesech, I have dwelt with tents of Kedar. 6 Too much hath my soul dwelt with him who is hating peace. 7 I am peace, and when I speak they are for war!
121 1 A Song of the Ascents. I lift up mine eyes unto the hills, Whence doth my help come? 2 My help is from Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth, 3 He suffereth not thy foot to be moved, Thy preserver slumbereth not. 4 Lo, He slumbereth not, nor sleepeth, He who is preserving Israel. 5 Jehovah is thy preserver, Jehovah is thy shade on thy right hand, 6 By day the sun doth not smite thee, Nor the moon by night. 7 Jehovah preserveth thee from all evil, He doth preserve thy soul. 8 Jehovah preserveth thy going out and thy coming in, From henceforth even unto the age!
122 1 A Song of the Ascents, by David. I have rejoiced in those saying to me, `To the house of Jehovah we go.' 2 Our feet have been standing in thy gates, O Jerusalem! 3 Jerusalem—the builded one—Is as a city that is joined to itself together. 4 For thither have tribes gone up, Tribes of Jah, companies of Israel, To give thanks to the name of Jehovah. 5 For there have sat thrones of judgment, Thrones of the house of David.
6 Ask ye the peace of Jerusalem, At rest are those loving thee. 7 Peace is in thy bulwark, rest in thy high places, 8 For the sake of my brethren and my companions, Let me speak, I pray thee, `Peace be in thee.' 9 For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God, I seek good for thee!
123 1 A Song of the Ascents. Unto Thee I have lifted up mine eyes, O dweller in the heavens. 2 Lo, as eyes of men-servants Are unto the hand of their masters, As eyes of a maid-servant Are unto the hand of her mistress, So are our eyes unto Jehovah our God, Till that He doth favour us. 3 Favour us, O Jehovah, favour us, For greatly have we been filled with contempt, 4 Greatly hath our soul been filled With the scorning of the easy ones, With the contempt of the arrogant!
124 1 A Song of the Ascents, by David. Save for Jehovah—who hath been for us, (Pray, let Israel say), 2 Save for Jehovah—who hath been for us, In the rising up of man against us, 3 Then alive they had swallowed us up, In the burning of their anger against us, 4 Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul, 5 Then passed over our soul had the proud waters.
6 Blessed is Jehovah who hath not given us, A prey to their teeth. 7 Our soul as a bird hath escaped from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken, and we have escaped. 8 Our help is in the name of Jehovah, Maker of the heavens and earth!
125 1 A Song of the Ascents. Those trusting in Jehovah are as Mount Zion, It is not moved—to the age it abideth. 2 Jerusalem! mountains are round about her, And Jehovah is round about His people, From henceforth even unto the age. 3 For the rod of wickedness resteth not On the lot of the righteous, That the righteous put not forth on iniquity their hands.
4 Do good, O Jehovah, to the good, And to the upright in their hearts. 5 As to those turning to their crooked ways, Jehovah causeth them to go with workers of iniquity. Peace on Israel!
126 1 A Song of the Ascents. In Jehovah's turning back to the captivity of Zion, We have been as dreamers. 2 Then filled with laughter is our mouth, And our tongue with singing, Then do they say among nations, `Jehovah did great things with these.' 3 Jehovah did great things with us, We have been joyful.
4 Turn again, O Jehovah, to our captivity, As streams in the south. 5 Those sowing in tears, with singing do reap, 6 Whoso goeth on and weepeth, Bearing the basket of seed, Surely cometh in with singing, bearing his sheaves!
127 1 A Song of the Ascents, by Solomon. If Jehovah doth not build the house, In vain have its builders laboured at it, If Jehovah doth not watch a city, In vain hath a watchman waked. 2 Vain for you who are rising early, Who delay sitting, eating the bread of griefs, So He giveth to His beloved one sleep. 3 Lo, an inheritance of Jehovah are sons, A reward is the fruit of the womb. 4 As arrows in the hand of a mighty one, So are the sons of the young men. 5 O the happiness of the man Who hath filled his quiver with them, They are not ashamed, For they speak with enemies in the gate!
128 1 A Song of the Ascents. O the happiness of every one fearing Jehovah, Who is walking in His ways. 2 The labour of thy hands thou surely eatest, Happy art thou, and good is to thee. 3 Thy wife is as a fruitful vine in the sides of thy house, Thy sons as olive plants around thy table. 4 Lo, surely thus is the man blessed who is fearing Jehovah. 5 Jehovah doth bless thee out of Zion, Look, then, on the good of Jerusalem, All the days of thy life, 6 And see the sons of thy sons! Peace on Israel!
129 1 A Song of the Ascents. Often they distressed me from my youth, Pray, let Israel say: 2 Often they distressed me from my youth, Yet they have not prevailed over me. 3 Over my back have ploughers ploughed, They have made long their furrows. 4 Jehovah is righteous, He hath cut asunder cords of the wicked.
5 Confounded and turn backward do all hating Zion. 6 They are as grass of the roofs, That before it was drawn out withereth, 7 That hath not filled the hand of a reaper, And the bosom of a binder of sheaves. 8 And the passers by have not said, `The blessing of Jehovah is on you, We blessed you in the Name of Jehovah!'
130 1 A Song of the Ascents. From depths I have called Thee, Jehovah. 2 Lord, hearken to my voice, Thine ears are attentive to the voice of my supplications. 3 If iniquities Thou dost observe, O Lord, who doth stand? 4 But with Thee is forgiveness, that Thou mayest be feared.
5 I hoped for Jehovah—hoped hath my soul, And for His word I have waited. 6 My soul is for the Lord, More than those watching for morning, Watching for morning! 7 Israel doth wait on Jehovah, For with Jehovah is kindness, And abundant with Him is redemption. 8 And He doth redeem Israel from all his iniquities!
131 1 A Song of the Ascents, by David. Jehovah, my heart hath not been haughty, Nor have mine eyes been high, Nor have I walked in great things, And in things too wonderful for me. 2 Have I not compared, and kept silent my soul, As a weaned one by its mother? As a weaned one by me is my soul. 3 Israel doth wait on Jehovah, From henceforth, and unto the age!
132 1 A Song of the Ascents. Remember, Jehovah, for David, all his afflictions. 2 Who hath sworn to Jehovah. He hath vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob: 3 `If I enter into the tent of my house, If I go up on the couch of my bed, 4 If I give sleep to mine eyes, To mine eyelids—slumber, 5 Till I do find a place for Jehovah, Tabernacles for the Mighty One of Jacob. 6 `Lo, we have heard it in Ephratah, We have found it in the fields of the forest. 7 We come in to His tabernacles, We bow ourselves at His footstool. 8 Arise, O Jehovah, to Thy rest, Thou, and the ark of Thy strength, 9 Thy priests do put on righteousness, And Thy pious ones cry aloud. 10 For the sake of David Thy servant, Turn not back the face of Thine anointed.
11 Jehovah hath sworn truth to David, He turneth not back from it: Of the fruit of thy body, I set on the throne for thee. 12 If thy sons keep My covenant, And My testimonies that I teach them, Their sons also for ever and ever, Do sit on the throne for thee. 13 For Jehovah hath fixed on Zion, He hath desired it for a seat to Himself, 14 This is My rest for ever and ever, Here do I sit, for I have desired it. 15 Her provision I greatly bless, Her needy ones I satisfy with bread, 16 And her priests I clothe with salvation, And her pious ones do sing aloud. 17 There I cause to spring up a horn for David, I have arranged a lamp for Mine anointed. 18 His enemies I do clothe with shame, And upon him doth his crown flourish!
133 1 A Song of the Ascents, by David. Lo, how good and how pleasant The dwelling of brethren—even together! 2 As the good oil on the head, Coming down on the beard, the beard of Aaron, That cometh down on the skirt of his robes, 3 As dew of Hermon—That cometh down on hills of Zion, For there Jehovah commanded the blessing—Life unto the age!
134 1 A Song of the Ascents. Lo, bless Jehovah, all servants of Jehovah, Who are standing in the house of Jehovah by night. 2 Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, And bless ye Jehovah. 3 Jehovah doth bless thee out of Zion, The maker of the heavens and earth!
135 1 Praise ye Jah! Praise ye the name of Jehovah, Praise, ye servants of Jehovah, 2 Who are standing in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of the house of our God. 3 Praise ye Jah! for Jehovah is good, Sing praise to His name, for it is pleasant. 4 For Jacob hath Jah chosen for Himself, Israel for His peculiar treasure.
5 For I have known that great is Jehovah, Yea, our Lord is above all gods. 6 All that Jehovah pleased He hath done, In the heavens and in earth, In the seas and all deep places, 7 Causing vapours to ascend from the end of the earth, Lightnings for the rain He hath made, Bringing forth wind from His treasures. 8 Who smote the first-born of Egypt, From man unto beast. 9 He sent tokens and wonders into thy midst, O Egypt, On Pharaoh and on all his servants. 10 Who smote many nations, and slew strong kings, 11 Even Sihon king of the Amorite, And Og king of Bashan, And all kingdoms of Canaan. 12 And He gave their land an inheritance, An inheritance to Israel His people, 13 O Jehovah, Thy name is to the age, O Jehovah, Thy memorial to all generations. 14 For Jehovah doth judge His people, And for His servants comforteth Himself.
15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, Work of the hands of man. 16 A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not, 17 Ears they have, and they give not ear, Nose—there is no breath in their mouth! 18 Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them. 19 O house of Israel, bless ye Jehovah, O house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah, 20 O house of Levi, bless ye Jehovah, Those fearing Jehovah, bless ye Jehovah. 21 Blessed is Jehovah from Zion, Inhabiting Jerusalem—praise ye Jah!
136 1 Give ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age is His kindness. 2 Give ye thanks to the God of gods, For to the age is His kindness. 3 Give ye thanks to the Lord of lords, For to the age is His kindness. 4 To Him doing great wonders by Himself alone, For to the age is His kindness. 5 To Him making the heavens by understanding, For to the age is His kindness. 6 To Him spreading the earth over the waters, For to the age is His kindness. 7 To Him making great lights, For to the age is His kindness. 8 The sun to rule by day, For to the age is His kindness. 9 The moon and stars to rule by night, For to the age is His kindness.
10 To Him smiting Egypt in their first-born, For to the age is His kindness. 11 And bringing forth Israel from their midst, For to the age is His kindness. 12 By a strong hand, and a stretched-out-arm, For to the age is His kindness. 13 To Him cutting the sea of Suph into parts, For to the age is His kindness, 14 And caused Israel to pass through its midst, For to the age is His kindness, 15 And shook out Pharaoh and his force in the sea of Suph, For to the age is His kindness. 16 To Him leading His people in a wilderness, For to the age is His kindness. 17 To Him smiting great kings, For to the age is His kindness. 18 Yea, He doth slay honourable kings, For to the age is His kindness. 19 Even Sihon king of the Amorite, For to the age is His kindness. 20 And Og king of Bashan, For to the age is His kindness. 21 And He gave their land for inheritance, For to the age is His kindness. 22 An inheritance to Israel His servant, For to the age is His kindness.
23 Who in our lowliness hath remembered us, For to the age is His kindness. 24 And He delivereth us from our adversaries, For to the age is His kindness. 25 Giving food to all flesh, For to the age is His kindness. 26 Give ye thanks to the God of the heavens, For to the age is His kindness!
137 1 By rivers of Babylon—There we did sit, Yea, we wept when we remembered Zion. 2 On willows in its midst we hung our harps. 3 For there our captors asked us the words of a song, And our spoilers—joy: `Sing ye to us of a song of Zion.' 4 How do we sing the song of Jehovah, On the land of a stranger? 5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, my right hand forgetteth! 6 My tongue doth cleave to my palate, If I do not remember thee, If I do not exalt Jerusalem above my chief joy.
7 Remember, Jehovah, for the sons of Edom, The day of Jerusalem, Those saying, `Rase, rase to its foundation!' 8 O daughter of Babylon, O destroyed one, O the happiness of him who repayeth to thee thy deed, That thou hast done to us. 9 O the happiness of him who doth seize, And hath dashed thy sucklings on the rock!
138 1 By David. I confess Thee, with all my heart, Before the gods I do praise Thee. 2 I bow myself toward Thy holy temple, And I confess Thy name, For Thy kindness, and for Thy truth, For Thou hast made great Thy saying above all Thy name. 3 In the day I called, when Thou dost answer me, Thou dost strengthen me in my soul with strength. 4 O Jehovah, all kings of earth confess Thee, When they have heard the sayings of Thy mouth. 5 And they sing in the ways of Jehovah, For great is the honour of Jehovah.
6 For high is Jehovah, and the lowly He seeth, And the haughty from afar He knoweth. 7 If I walk in the midst of distress Thou quickenest me, Against the anger of mine enemies Thou sendest forth Thy hand, And Thy right hand doth save me. 8 Jehovah doth perfect for me, O Jehovah, Thy kindness is to the age, The works of Thy hands let not fall!
139 1 To the Overseer. —A Psalm by David. Jehovah, Thou hast searched me, and knowest. 2 Thou—Thou hast known my sitting down, And my rising up, Thou hast attended to my thoughts from afar. 3 My path and my couch Thou hast fanned, And with all my ways hast been acquainted. 4 For there is not a word in my tongue, Lo, O Jehovah, Thou hast known it all! 5 Behind and before Thou hast besieged me, And Thou dost place on me Thy hand. 6 Knowledge too wonderful for me, It hath been set on high, I am not able for it.
7 Whither do I go from Thy Spirit? And whither from Thy face do I flee? 8 If I ascend the heavens—there Thou art, And spread out a couch in Sheol, lo, Thee! 9 I take the wings of morning, I dwell in the uttermost part of the sea, 10 Also there Thy hand doth lead me, And Thy right hand doth hold me. 11 And I say, `Surely darkness bruiseth me, Then night is light to me. 12 Also darkness hideth not from Thee, And night as day shineth, as is darkness so is light. 13 For Thou—Thou hast possessed my reins, Thou dost cover me in my mother's belly. 14 I confess Thee, because that with wonders I have been distinguished. Wonderful are Thy works, And my soul is knowing it well. 15 My substance was not hid from Thee, When I was made in secret, Curiously wrought in the lower part of earth. 16 Mine unformed substance Thine eyes saw, And on Thy book all of them are written, The days they were formed—And not one among them.
17 And to me how precious have been Thy thoughts, O God, how great hath been their sum! 18 I recount them! than the sand they are more, I have waked, and I am still with Thee. 19 Dost Thou slay, O God, the wicked? Then, men of blood, turn aside from me! 20 Who exchange Thee for wickedness, Lifted up to vanity are Thine enemies. 21 Do not I hate, Jehovah, those hating Thee? And with Thy withstanders grieve myself? 22 With perfect hatred I have hated them, Enemies they have become to me. 23 Search me, O God, and know my heart, Try me, and know my thoughts, 24 And see if a grievous way be in me, And lead me in a way age-during!
140 1 To the Overseer. —A Psalm of David. Deliver me, O Jehovah, from an evil man, From one of violence Thou keepest me. 2 Who have devised evils in the heart, All the day they assemble for wars. 3 They sharpened their tongue as a serpent, Poison of an adder is under their lips. Selah. 4 Preserve me, Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked, From one of violence Thou keepest me, Who have devised to overthrow my steps. 5 The proud hid a snare for me—and cords, They spread a net by the side of the path, Snares they have set for me. Selah. 6 I have said to Jehovah, `My God art Thou, Hear, Jehovah, the voice of my supplications.' 7 O Jehovah, my Lord, strength of my salvation, Thou hast covered my head in the day of armour.
8 Grant not, O Jehovah, the desires of the wicked, His wicked device bring not forth, They are high. Selah. 9 The chief of my surrounders, The perverseness of their lips covereth them. 10 They cause to fall on themselves burning coals, Into fire He doth cast them, Into deep pits—they arise not. 11 A talkative man is not established in the earth, One of violence—evil hunteth to overflowing. 12 I have known that Jehovah doth execute The judgment of the afflicted, The judgment of the needy. 13 Only—the righteous give thanks to Thy name, The upright do dwell with Thy presence!
141 1 A Psalm, by David. O Jehovah, I have called Thee, haste to me, Give ear to my voice when I call to Thee. 2 My prayer is prepared—incense before Thee, The lifting up of my hands—the evening present. 3 Set, O Jehovah, a watch for my mouth, Watch Thou over the door of my lips. 4 Incline not my heart to an evil thing, To do habitually actions in wickedness, With men working iniquity, Yea, I eat not of their pleasant things.
5 The righteous doth beat me in kindness. And doth reprove me, Oil of the head my head disalloweth not, For still my prayer is about their vexations. 6 Their judges have been released by the sides of a rock, And they have heard my sayings, For they have been pleasant. 7 As one tilling and ripping up in the land, Have our bones been scattered at the command of Saul. 8 But to Thee, O Jehovah, my Lord, are mine eyes, In Thee I have trusted, Make not bare my soul. 9 Keep me from the gin they laid for me, Even snares of workers of iniquity. 10 The wicked fall in their nets together, till I pass over!
142 1 An Instruction of David, a Prayer when he is in the cave. My voice is unto Jehovah, I cry, My voice is unto Jehovah, I entreat grace. 2 I pour forth before Him my meditation, My distress before Him I declare. 3 When my spirit hath been feeble in me, Then Thou hast known my path; In the way in which I walk, They have hid a snare for me.
4 Looking on the right hand—and seeing, And I have none recognizing; Perished hath refuge from me, There is none inquiring for my soul. 5 I have cried unto thee, O Jehovah, I have said, `Thou art my refuge, My portion in the land of the living.' 6 Attend Thou unto my loud cry, For I have become very low, Deliver Thou me from my pursuers, For they have been stronger than I. 7 Bring forth from prison my soul to confess Thy name, The righteous do compass me about, When Thou conferrest benefits upon me!
143 1 A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, hear my prayer, Give ear unto my supplications, In Thy faithfulness answer me—in Thy righteousness. 2 And enter not into judgment with Thy servant, For no one living is justified before Thee. 3 For an enemy hath pursued my soul, He hath bruised to the earth my life, He hath caused me to dwell in dark places, As the dead of old. 4 And my spirit in me is become feeble, Within me is my heart become desolate. 5 I have remembered days of old, I have meditated on all Thine acts, On the work of Thy hand I muse. 6 I have spread forth my hands unto Thee, My soul is as a weary land for Thee. Selah.
7 Haste, answer me, O Jehovah, My spirit hath been consumed, Hide not Thou Thy face from me, Or I have been compared with those going down to the pit. 8 Cause me to hear in the morning Thy kindness, For in Thee I have trusted, Cause me to know the way that I go, For unto Thee I have lifted up my soul. 9 Deliver me from mine enemies, O Jehovah, Near Thee I am covered. 10 Teach me to do Thy good pleasure, For Thou art my God—Thy Spirit is good, Lead me into a land of uprightness. 11 For Thy name's sake O Jehovah, Thou dost quicken me, In Thy righteousness, Thou bringest out from distress my soul, 12 And in Thy kindness cuttest off mine enemies, And hast destroyed all the adversaries of my soul, For I am Thy servant!
144 1 By David. Blessed is Jehovah my rock, who is teaching My hands for war, my fingers for battle. 2 My kind one, and my bulwark, My tower, and my deliverer, My shield, and in whom I have trusted, Who is subduing my people under me! 3 Jehovah, what is man that Thou knowest him? Son of man, that Thou esteemest him? 4 Man to vanity hath been like, His days are as a shadow passing by. 5 Jehovah, incline Thy heavens and come down, Strike against mountains, and they smoke. 6 Send forth lightning, and scatter them, Send forth Thine arrows, and trouble them, 7 Send forth Thy hand from on high, Free me, and deliver me from many waters, From the hand of sons of a stranger, 8 Because their mouth hath spoken vanity, And their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
9 O God, a new song I sing to Thee, On a psaltery of ten strings I sing praise to Thee. 10 Who is giving deliverance to kings, Who is freeing David His servant from the sword of evil. 11 Free me, and deliver me From the hand of sons of a stranger, Because their mouth hath spoken vanity, And their right hand is a right hand of falsehood, 12 Because our sons are as plants, Becoming great in their youth, Our daughters as hewn stones, Polished—the likeness of a palace, 13 Our garners are full, bringing out from kind to kind, Our flocks are bringing forth thousands, Ten thousands in our out-places, 14 Our oxen are carrying, there is no breach, And there is no outgoing, And there is no crying in our broad places. 15 O the happiness of the people that is thus, O the happiness of the people whose God is Jehovah!
145 1 Praise by David. I exalt Thee, my God, O king, And bless Thy name to the age and for ever. 2 Every day do I bless Thee, And praise Thy name to the age and for ever. 3 Great is Jehovah, and praised greatly, And of His greatness there is no searching. 4 Generation to generation praiseth Thy works, And Thy mighty acts they declare. 5 The honour—the glory of Thy majesty, And the matters of Thy wonders I declare. 6 And the strength of Thy fearful acts they tell, And Thy greatness I recount. 7 The memorial of the abundance of Thy goodness they send forth. And Thy righteousness they sing. 8 Gracious and merciful is Jehovah, Slow to anger, and great in kindness. 9 Good is Jehovah to all, And His mercies are over all His works.
10 Confess Thee O Jehovah, do all Thy works, And Thy saints do bless Thee. 11 The honour of Thy kingdom they tell, And of Thy might they speak, 12 To make known to sons of men His mighty acts, The honour of the majesty of His kingdom. 13 Thy kingdom is a kingdom of all ages, And Thy dominion is in all generations. 14 Jehovah is supporting all who are falling, And raising up all who are bowed down. 15 The eyes of all unto Thee do look, And Thou art giving to them their food in its season, 16 Opening Thy hand, and satisfying The desire of every living thing. 17 Righteous is Jehovah in all His ways, And kind in all His works. 18 Near is Jehovah to all those calling Him, To all who call Him in truth. 19 The desire of those fearing Him He doth, And their cry He heareth, and saveth them. 20 Jehovah preserveth all those loving Him, And all the wicked He destroyeth. 21 The praise of Jehovah my mouth speaketh, And all flesh doth bless His holy name, To the age and for ever!
146 1 Praise ye Jah! Praise, O my soul, Jehovah. 2 I praise Jehovah during my life, I sing praise to my God while I exist. 3 Trust not in princes—in a son of man, For he hath no deliverance. 4 His spirit goeth forth, he returneth to his earth, In that day have his thoughts perished.
5 O the happiness of him Who hath the God of Jacob for his help, His hope is on Jehovah his God, 6 Making the heavens and earth, The sea and all that is in them, Who is keeping truth to the age, 7 Doing judgment for the oppressed, Giving bread to the hungry. 8 Jehovah is loosing the prisoners, Jehovah is opening (the eyes of) the blind, Jehovah is raising the bowed down, Jehovah is loving the righteous, 9 Jehovah is preserving the strangers, The fatherless and widow He causeth to stand, And the way of the wicked He turneth upside down. 10 Jehovah doth reign to the age, Thy God, O Zion, to generation and generation, Praise ye Jah!
147 1 Praise ye Jah! For it is good to praise our God, For pleasant—comely is praise. 2 Building Jerusalem is Jehovah, The driven away of Israel He gathereth. 3 Who is giving healing to the broken of heart, And is binding up their griefs. 4 Appointing the number of the stars, To all them He giveth names. 5 Great is our Lord, and abundant in power, Of His understanding there is no narration. 6 Jehovah is causing the meek to stand, Making low the wicked unto the earth. 7 Answer ye to Jehovah with thanksgiving, Sing ye to our God with a harp. 8 Who is covering the heavens with clouds, Who is preparing for the earth rain, Who is causing grass to spring up on mountains, 9 Giving to the beast its food, To the young of the ravens that call. 10 Not in the might of the horse doth He delight, Not in the legs of a man is He pleased. 11 Jehovah is pleased with those fearing Him, With those waiting for His kindness.
12 Glorify, O Jerusalem, Jehovah, Praise thy God, O Zion. 13 For He did strengthen the bars of thy gates, He hath blessed thy sons in thy midst. 14 Who is making thy border peace, With the fat of wheat He satisfieth Thee. 15 Who is sending forth His saying on earth, Very speedily doth His word run. 16 Who is giving snow like wool, Hoar-frost as ashes He scattereth. 17 Casting forth His ice like morsels, Before His cold who doth stand? 18 He sendeth forth His word and melteth them, He causeth His wind to blow—the waters flow. 19 Declaring His words to Jacob, His statutes and His judgments to Israel. 20 He hath not done so to any nation, As to judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye Jah!
148 1 Praise ye Jah! Praise ye Jehovah from the heavens, Praise ye Him in high places. 2 Praise ye Him, all His messengers, Praise ye Him, all His hosts. 3 Praise ye Him, sun and moon, Praise ye Him, all stars of light. 4 Praise ye Him, heavens of heavens, And ye waters that are above the heavens. 5 They do praise the name of Jehovah, For He commanded, and they were created. 6 And He establisheth them for ever to the age, A statute He gave, and they pass not over.
7 Praise ye Jehovah from the earth, Dragons and all deeps, 8 Fire and hail, snow and vapour, Whirlwind doing His word; 9 The mountains and all heights, Fruit tree, and all cedars, 10 The wild beast, and all cattle, Creeping thing, and winged bird, 11 Kings of earth, and all peoples, Chiefs, and all judges of earth, 12 Young men, and also maidens, Aged men, with youths, 13 They praise the name of Jehovah, For His name alone hath been set on high, His honour is above earth and heavens. 14 And He exalteth the horn of His people, The praise of all His saints, Of the sons of Israel, a people near Him. Praise ye Jah!
149 1 Praise ye Jah! Sing ye to Jehovah a new song, His praise in an assembly of saints. 2 Israel doth rejoice in his Maker, Sons of Zion do joy in their king. 3 They praise His name in a dance, With timbrel and harp sing praise to Him. 4 For Jehovah is pleased with His people, He beautifieth the humble with salvation. 5 Exult do saints in honour, They sing aloud on their beds.
6 The exaltation of God is in their throat, And a two-edged sword in their hand. 7 To do vengeance among nations, Punishments among the peoples. 8 To bind their kings with chains, And their honoured ones with fetters of iron, 9 To do among them the judgment written, An honour it is for all his saints. Praise ye Jah!
150 1 Praise ye Jah! Praise ye God in His holy place, Praise Him in the expanse of His strength. 2 Praise Him in His mighty acts, Praise Him according to the abundance of His greatness. 3 Praise Him with blowing of trumpet, Praise Him with psaltery and harp. 4 Praise Him with timbrel and dance, Praise Him with stringed instruments and organ. 5 Praise Him with cymbals of sounding, Praise Him with cymbals of shouting. 6 All that doth breathe doth praise Jah! Praise ye Jah!
