²² Moreover, you gave them kingdoms, and did divide nations to them: and they inherited the land of Seon king of Esebon, and the land of Og king of Basan. ²³ And you did multiply their children as the stars of heaven, and brought them into the land of which you spoke to their fathers; ²⁴ And they inherited it: and you did destroy from before them the dwellers in the land of the Chananites, and you gave into their hands them and their kings, and the nations of the land, to do to them as it pleased them.

¹⁶ Hear me, O Lord; for your mercy is good: according to the multitude of your compassions look upon me.

² He shall say to the Lord, You are my helper and my refuge: my God; I will hope in him.

¹⁷ There the sparrows will build their nests; and the house of the heron takes the lead among them.

⁸ The sun to rule by day; for his mercy [endures] for ever. ⁹ The moon and the stars to rule the night; for his mercy [endures] for ever. ¹⁰ To him who struck Egypt with their firstborn; for his mercy [endures] for ever. ¹¹ And brought Israel out of the midst of them; for his mercy [endures] for ever: ¹² with a strong hand, and a high arm: for his mercy [endures] for ever.

⁶ Lift up your eyes to the sky, and look on the earth beneath: for the sky was darkened like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and the inhabitants shall die in like manner: but my righteousness shall not fail.

⁸ For as a garment will be devoured by time, and as wool will be devoured by a moth, [so shall they be consumed]; but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation for all generations.

¹ If you would open the heaven, trembling will take hold upon the mountains from you, and they shall melt, ² as wax melts before the fire; and fire shall burn up the enemies, and your name shall be manifest among the adversaries: at your presence the nations shall be troubled, ³ whenever you shall work gloriously; trembling from you shall take hold upon the mountains.

⁸ And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many nations, as a lion in the forest among cattle, and as a [lion's] whelp among the flocks of sheep, even as when he goes through, and selects, and carries off [his prey], and there is none to deliver.

⁵ The mountains quake at him, and the hills are shaken, and the earth recoils at his presence, [even] the world, and all that dwell in it.

¹⁰ The nations shall see you and be in pain, [as you do] divide the moving waters: the deep uttered her voice, and raised her form on high.

⁴ And his feet shall stand in that day on the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave asunder, half of it toward the east and the west, a very great division; and half the mountain shall lean to the north, and half of it to the south. ⁵ And the valley of my mountains shall be closed up, and the valley of the mountains shall be joined on to Jasod, and shall be blocked up as it was blocked up in the days of the earthquake, in the days of Ozias king of Juda; and the Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with him.

⁶ And the sons of Cham, Chus, and Mesrain, Phud, and Chanaan. ⁷ And the sons of Chus, Saba, and Evila, and Sabatha, and Rhegma, and Sabathaca. And the sons of Rhegma, Saba, and Dadan.

¹ And Abraam again took a wife, whose name was Chettura. ² And she bore to him Zombran, and Jezan, and Madal, and Madiam, and Jesboc, and Soie. ³ And Jezan begot Saba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were the Assurians and the Latusians, and Laomim. ⁴ And the sons of Madiam [were] Gephar and Aphir, and Enoch, and Abeida, and Eldaga; all these were sons of Chettura.

¹⁴ The nations heard and were angry, pangs have seized on the dwellers among the Phylistines. ¹⁵ Then the princes of Edom, and the chiefs of the Moabites hasted; trembling took hold upon them, all the inhabitants of Chanaan melted away. ¹⁶ Let trembling and fear fall upon them; by the greatness of your arm, let them become as stone; till your people pass over, O Lord, till this your people pass over, whom you have purchased.

³ then Moab feared the people exceedingly because they were many; and Moab was grieved before the face of the children of Israel. ⁴ And Moab said to the elders of Madiam, Now shall this assembly lick up all that are round about us, as a calf would lick up the green [herbs] of the field:—and Balac son of Sepphor was king of Moab at that time.

² Avenge the wrongs of the children of Israel on the Madianites, and afterwards you shall be added to your people. ³ And Moses spoke to the people, saying, Arm some of you, and set yourselves in array before the Lord against Madian, to inflict vengeance on Madian from the Lord. ⁴ Send a thousand of each tribe from all the tribes of the children of Israel to set themselves in array. ⁵ And they numbered of the thousands of Israel a thousand of [each] tribe, twelve thousands; [these were] armed for war. ⁶ And Moses sent them away a thousand of every tribe with their forces, and Phinees the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest: and the holy instruments, and the signal trumpets [were] in their hands. ⁷ And they set themselves in array against Madian, as the Lord commanded Moses; and they killed every male. ⁸ And they killed the kings of Madian together with their slain [subjects]; even Evi and Rocon, and Sur, and Ur, and Roboc, five kings of Madian; and they killed with the sword Balaam the son of Beor with their [other] slain. ⁹ And they made a prey of the women of Madian, and their store, and their cattle, and all their possessions: and they spoiled their forces. ¹⁰ And they burnt with fire all their cities in the places of their habitation and they burnt their villages with fire. ¹¹ And they took all their plunder, and all their spoils, both man and beast. ¹² And they brought to Moses and to Eleazar the priest, and to all the children of Israel, the captives, and the spoils, and the plunder, to the camp to Araboth Moab, which is at Jordan by Jericho.

¹⁰ For we have heard that the Lord God dried up the Red Sea before you, when you⌃ came out of the land of Egypt, and all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond Jordan, to Seon and Og, whom you⌃ utterly destroyed.

²⁴ And they answered Joshua, saying, It was reported to us what the Lord your God charged his servant Moses, to give you this land, and to destroy us and all that lived on it from before you; and we feared very much for our lives because of you, and [therefore] we did this thing.

²⁴ And Gedeon sent messengers into all mount Ephraim, saying, Come down to meet Madiam, and take to yourselves the water as far as Baethera and Jordan: and every man of Ephraim cried out, and they took the water before hand to Baethera and Jordan. ²⁵ And they took the princess of Madiam, even Oreb and Zeb; and they killed Oreb in Sur Oreb, and they killed Zeb in Jakephzeph; and they pursued Madiam, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeb to Gedeon from beyond Jordan.

⁵ Blessed is the man whose help is of you, O Lord; in his heart he has purposed to go up ⁶ the valley of weeping, to the place which he has appointed, for [there] the law-giver will grant blessings. ⁷ They shall go from strength to strength: the God of gods shall be seen in Sion. ⁸ O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: listen, O God of Jacob. Pause. ⁹ Behold, O God our defender, and look upon the face of your anointed. ¹⁰ For one day in your courts is better than thousands. I would rather be an abject in the house of God, than dwell in the tents of sinners.

²⁰ and Moses and Aaron did so, as the Lord commanded them; and [Aaron] having lifted up [his hand] with his rod, struck the water in the river before Pharao, and before his servants, and changed all the water in the river into blood.

²¹ And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the Lord carried back the sea with a strong south wind all the night, and made the sea dry, and the water was divided. ²² And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry land, and the water of it was a wall on the right hand and a wall on the left.

²⁶ There is not [any such] as the God of the beloved; he who rides upon the heaven [is] your helper, and the magnificent One of the firmament. ²⁷ And the rule of God shall protect you, and [that] under the strength of the everlasting arms; and he shall cast forth the enemy from before your face, saying, Perish.

¹⁶ then the waters that came down from above stopped; there stood one solid heap very far off, as far as the region of Kariathiarim, and the lower part came down to the sea of Araba, the salt sea, till it completely failed; and the people stood opposite Jericho. ¹⁷ And the priests that bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood on dry land in the midst of Jordan; and all the children of Israel went through on dry land, until all the people had completely gone over Jordan.

¹⁰ To be desired more than gold, and much precious stone: sweeter also than honey and the honey-comb.

⁴ The flowings of the river gladden the city of God: the Most High has sanctified his tabernacle.

⁴ They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head: my enemies that persecute me unrighteously are strengthened: then I restored that which I took not away.

³ Glory in his holy name: let the heart of them that seek the Lord rejoice.

³ But our God has done in heaven and on earth, whatever he has pleased.

⁵ They have a mouth, but they can’t speak; they have eyes, but they can’t see:

¹ THE VISION OF EGYPT. Behold, the Lord sits on a swift cloud, and shall come to Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and their heart shall faint within them.

² Why did I come, and there was no man? [why] did I call, and there was none to listen? Is not my hand strong to redeem? or can I not deliver? behold, by my rebuke I will dry up the sea, and make rivers a wilderness; and their fish shall be dried up because there is no water, and shall die for thirst.

⁴ He threatens the sea, and dries it up, and exhausts all the rivers: the land of Basan, and Carmel are brought low, and the flourishing [trees] of Libanus have come to nothing.

¹⁵ And you do cause your horses to enter the sea, disturbing much water.

¹⁸ In that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, To your seed I will give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river Euphrates. ¹⁹ The Kenites, and the Kenezites, and the Kedmoneans, ²⁰ and the Chettites, and the Pherezites, and the Raphaim, ²¹ and the Amorites, and the Chananites, and the Evites, and the Gergesites, and the Jebusites.

⁷ And I will establish my covenant between you and your seed after you, to their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be your God, and [the God] of your seed after you. ⁸ And I will give to you and to your seed after you the land wherein you sojourn, even all the land of Chanaan for an everlasting possession, and I will be to them a God.

¹⁶ surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand which is by the shore of the sea, and your seed shall inherit the cities of their enemies. ¹⁷ And in your seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have listened to my voice. ¹⁸ And Abraam returned to his servants, and they arose and went together to the well of the oath; and Abraam lived at the well of the oath.

³ And sojourn in this land; and I will be with you, and bless you, for I will give to you and to your seed all this land; and I will establish my oath which I swore to your father Abraam. ⁴ And I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven; and I will give to your seed all this land, and all the nations of the earth shall be blest in your seed.

¹³ And the Lord stood upon it, and said, I am the God of your father Abraam, and the God of Isaac; fear not, the land on which you lie, to you will I give it, and to your seed. ¹⁴ And your seed shall be as the sand of the earth; and it shall spread abroad to the sea, and the south, and the north, and to the east; and in you and in your seed shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed.

⁶ Behold, I stand there before you [come], on the rock in Choreb, and you shall strike the rock, and water shall come out from it, and the people shall drink. And Moses did so before the sons of Israel.

¹¹ And Moses lifted up his hand and struck the rock with his rod twice; and much water came forth, and the congregation drank, and their cattle.

²³ I will gather evils upon them, and will fight with my weapons against them.

¹² If you⌃ will not repent, he will furbish his sword; he has bent his bow, and made it ready. ¹³ And on it he has fitted the instruments of death; he has completed his arrows for the raging ones.

¹ (36) For the end, by David the servant of the Lord. The transgressor, that he may sin, says within himself, [that] there is no fear of God before his eyes. ² For he has dealt craftily before him, to discover his iniquity and hate it. ³ The words of his mouth are transgression and deceit: he is not inclined to understand [how] to do good.

⁸ Yet he saved them for his name's sake, that he might cause his mighty power to be known. ⁹ And he rebuked the Red Sea, and it was dried up: so he led them through the deep as through the wilderness. ¹⁰ And he saved them out of the hand of them that hated [them], and redeemed them out of the hand of the enemy. ¹¹ The water covered those that oppressed them: there was not one of them left.

⁴¹ And he delivered them into the hands of [their] enemies; and they that hated them ruled over them.

⁶ Send lightning, and you shall scatter them: send forth your arrows, and you shall discomfit them.

⁹ Awake, awake, O Jerusalem, and put on the strength of your arm; awake as in the early time, as the ancient generation. ¹⁰ Are you not it that dried the sea, the water, [even] the abundance of the deep; that made the depths of the sea a way of passage for the delivered and redeemed?

¹⁰ And the Lord shall reveal his holy arm in the sight of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation that [comes] from our God.

⁴ DALETH. He has bent his bow as an opposing enemy: he has strengthened his right hand as an adversary, and has destroyed all the desirable things of my eyes in the tabernacle of the daughter of Sion: he has poured forth his anger as fire.

²² And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry land, and the water of it was a wall on the right hand and a wall on the left. ²³ And the Egyptians pursued them and went in after them, and every horse of Pharao, and his chariots, and his horsemen, into the midst of the sea. ²⁴ And it came to pass in the morning watch that the Lord looked forth on the camp of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and cloud, and troubled the camp of the Egyptians, ²⁵ and bound the axle-trees of their chariots, and caused them to go with difficulty; and the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel, for the Lord fights for them against the Egyptians. ²⁶ And the Lord said to Moses, Stretch forth tine hand over the sea, and let the water be turned back to its place, and let it cover the Egyptians [coming] both upon the chariots and the riders. ²⁷ And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the water returned to its place toward day; and the Egyptians fled from the water, and the Lord shook off the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. ²⁸ and the water returned and covered the chariots and the riders, and all the forces of Pharao, who entered after them into the sea: and there was not left of them even one.

¹⁶ And it came to pass on the third day, as the morning drew near, there were voices and lightnings and a dark cloud on mount Sina: the voice of the trumpet sounded loud, and all the people in the camp trembled. ¹⁷ And Moses led the people forth out of the camp to meet God, and they stood by under the camp. ¹⁸ The mount of Sina was altogether on a smoke, because God had descended upon it in fire; and the smoke went up as the smoke of a furnace, and the people were exceedingly amazed.

¹⁵ And when the priests that bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord entered upon Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord were dipped in part of the water of Jordan; (now Jordan overflowed all its banks about the time of wheat harvest:) ¹⁶ then the waters that came down from above stopped; there stood one solid heap very far off, as far as the region of Kariathiarim, and the lower part came down to the sea of Araba, the salt sea, till it completely failed; and the people stood opposite Jericho.

¹⁸ And it came to pass when the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord were gone up out of Jordan, and set their feet upon the land, [that] the water of Jordan returned impetuously to its place, and went as before over all its banks.

²³ when the Lord our God had dried up the water of Jordan from before them, until they had passed over; as the Lord our God did to the Red Sea, which the Lord our God dried up from before us, until we passed over. ²⁴ That all the nations of the earth might know, that the power of the Lord is mighty, and that you⌃ might worship the Lord our God in every work.

¹¹ And you did cleave the sea before them, and they passed through the midst of the sea on dry land; and you did cast into the deep them that were about to pursue them, as a stone in the mighty water.

¹³ I will go into your house with whole burnt offerings; I will pay you my vows,

⁶ The earth has yielded her fruit; let God, our God bless us.

¹⁶ And he brought water out of the rock, and caused waters to flow down as rivers. ¹⁷ And they sinned yet more against him; they provoked the Most High in the wilderness. ¹⁸ And they tempted God in their hearts, in asking meat for [the desire of] their souls. ¹⁹ They spoke also against God, and said, Will God be able to prepare a table in the wilderness?

³ How long shall sinners, O Lord, how long shall sinners boast?

¹¹ Light is sprung up for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. ¹² Rejoice in the Lord, you⌃ righteous; and give thanks for a remembrance of his holiness.

⁴ Shout to God, all the earth; sing, and exult, and sing psalms. ⁵ Sing to the Lord with a harp, with a harp, and the voice of a psalm.

⁷ He spoke to them in a pillar of cloud; they kept his testimonies, and the ordinances which he gave them. ⁸ O Lord our God, you heard them; O God, you became propitious to them, though you did take vengeance on all their devices.

³ But our God has done in heaven and on earth, whatever he has pleased. ⁴ The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the works of men's hands. ⁵ They have a mouth, but they can’t speak; they have eyes, but they can’t see: ⁶ they have ears, but they can’t hear; they have noses, but they can’t smell; ⁷ they have hands, but they can’t handle; they have feet, but they can’t walk: they can’t speak through their throat. ⁸ Let those that make them become like to them, and all who trust in them.

¹⁵ And the Lord shall make desolate the sea of Egypt; and he shall lay his hand on the river with a strong wind, and he shall strike the seven channels, so that men shall pass through it dry-shod. ¹⁶ And there shall be a passage for my people that is left in Egypt: and it shall be to Israel as the day when he came forth out of the land of Egypt.

²⁰ the beasts of the field shall bless me, the owls and young ostriches; for I have given water in the wilderness, and rivers in the dry land, to give drink to my chosen race,

¹² For you⌃ shall go forth with joy, and shall be taught with gladness: for the mountains and the hills shall exult to welcome you with joy, and all the trees of the field shall applaud with their branches.

¹¹ Then he remembered the ancient days, [saying], Where is he that brought up from the sea the shepherd of the sheep? where is he that put his Holy Spirit in them? ¹² who led Moses with his right hand, the arm of his glory? he forced the water [to separate] from before him, to make himself an everlasting name. ¹³ He led them through the deep, as a horse through the wilderness, and they fainted not,

¹ If you would open the heaven, trembling will take hold upon the mountains from you, and they shall melt, ² as wax melts before the fire; and fire shall burn up the enemies, and your name shall be manifest among the adversaries: at your presence the nations shall be troubled,

²⁴ I [*]saw the mountains, and they trembled, and [I saw] all the hills in commotion.

⁴ And the mountains shall be shaken under him, and the valleys shall melt like wax before the fire, and as water rushing down a declivity.

⁶ the earth stood at his feet and trembled: he [*]saw, and the nations melted away: the mountains were violently burst through, the everlasting hills melted at his everlasting going forth.

¹¹ And when they fled from the face of the children of Israel at the descent of Oronin, then the Lord cast upon them hailstones from heaven to Azeca; and they were more that died by the hailstones, than those whom the children of Israel killed with the sword in the battle. ¹² Then Joshua spoke to the Lord, in the day in which the Lord delivered the Amorite into the power of Israel, when he destroyed them in Gabaon, and they were destroyed from before the children of Israel: and Joshua said, Let the sun stand over against Gabaon, and the moon over against the valley of Aelon. ¹³ And the sun and the moon stood still, until God executed vengeance on their enemies; and the sun stood still in the midst of heaven; it did not proceed to set till the end of one day.

¹² Who will understand [his] transgressions? purge you me from my secret [sins]. ¹³ And spare your servant [the attack] of strangers: if they do not gain the dominion over me, then shall I be blameless, and I shall be clear from great sin. ¹⁴ So shall the sayings of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be pleasing continually before you, O Lord my helper, and my redeemer.

⁴ Grant you according to your heart, and fulfill all your desire.

¹⁷ And they sinned yet more against him; they provoked the Most High in the wilderness. ¹⁸ And they tempted God in their hearts, in asking meat for [the desire of] their souls.

⁵ And they shall speak of the glorious majesty of your holiness, and recount your wonders. ⁶ And they shall speak of the power of your terrible [acts]; and recount your greatness.

²¹ The Lord shall rise up as a mountain of ungodly [men], and shall be in the valley of Gabaon; he shall perform his works with wrath, [even] a work of bitterness, and his wrath shall deal strangely, and his destruction shall be strange.

⁸ behold, I will turn back the shadow of the degrees [of the dial] by which ten degrees on the house of your father the sun has gone down—I will turn back the sun the ten degrees; so the sun went back the ten degrees by which the shadow had gone down.

²³ And Seon did not allow Israel to pass through his borders, and Seon gathered all his people, and went out to set the battle in array against Israel into the wilderness; and he came to Jassa, and set the battle in array against Israel. ²⁴ And Israel struck him with the slaughter of the sword, and they became possessors of his land, from Arnon to Jaboc, as far as the children of Amman, for Jazer is the borders of the children of Amman. ²⁵ And Israel took all their cities, and Israel lived in all the cities of the Amorites, in Esebon, and in all cities belonging to it. ²⁶ For Esebon is the city of Seon king of the Amorites; and he before fought against the king of Moab, and they took all his land, from Aroer to Arnon. ²⁷ Therefore say they who deal in dark speeches, Come to Esebon, that the city of Seon may be built and prepared. ²⁸ For a fire has gone forth from Esebon, a flame from the city of Seon, and has consumed as far as Moab, and devoured the pillars of Arnon. ²⁹ Woe to you, Moab; you are lost, you people of Chamos: their sons are sold for preservation, and their daughters are captives to Seon king of the Amorites. ³⁰ And their seed shall perish [from] Esebon to Daebon; and their women have yet farther kindled a fire against Moab. ³¹ And Israel lived in all the cities of the Amorites. ³² And Moses sent to spy out Jazer; and they took it, and its villages, and cast out the Amorite that lived there. ³³ And having returned, they went up the road thhebraismat leads to Basan; and Og the king of Basan went forth to meet them, and all his people to war to Edrain. ³⁴ And the Lord said to Moses, Fear him not; for I have delivered him and all his people, and all his land, into your hands; and you shall do to him as you did to Seon king of the Amorites, who lived in Esebon. ³⁵ And he struck him and his sons, and all his people, until he left none of his to be taken alive; and they inherited his land.

¹ Now Jericho was closely shut up and besieged, and none went out of it, and none came in. ² And the Lord said to Joshua, Behold, I deliver Jericho into your power, and its king in it, [and its] mighty men. ³ And do you set the men of war round about it. ⁴ And it shall be [that] when you⌃ shall sound with the trumpet, all the people shall shout together. ⁵ And when they have shouted, the walls of the city shall fall of themselves; and all the people shall enter, each one rushing direct into the city. ⁶ And Joshua the [son] of Naue went in to the priests, and spoke to them, saying, ⁷ And let seven priests having seven sacred trumpets proceed thus before the Lord, and let them sound loudly; and let the ark of the covenant of the Lord follow. ⁸ Charge the people to go round, and encompass the city; and let your men of war pass on armed before the Lord. ⁹ And let the men of war proceed before, and the priests bringing up the rear behind the ark of the covenant of the Lord [proceed] sounding the trumpets. ¹⁰ And Joshua commanded the people, saying, Cry not out, nor let any one hear your voice, until he himself declare to you the time to cry out, and then you⌃ shall cry out. ¹¹ And the ark of the covenant of God having gone round immediately returned into the camp, and lodged there. ¹² And on the second day Joshua rose up in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the covenant of the Lord.

¹ (45) For the end, for alternate [strains] by the sons of Core; for instruction, a Song concerning the beloved. My heart has uttered a good matter: I declare my works to the king: my tongue is the pen of a quick writer. ² You are more beautiful than the sons of men: grace has been shed forth on your lips: therefore God has blessed you for ever. ³ Gird your sword upon your thigh, O Mighty One, in your comeliness, and in your beauty;

¹⁵ Behold, I have made you as new saw-shaped threshing wheels of a waggon; and you shall thresh the mountains, and beat the hills to powder, and make [them] as chaff:

³³ Whereas you have said, Alas! alas! for the Lord has laid a grievous trouble upon me; I lay down in groaning, I found no rest;

³ And the Lord said, For three sins of Damascus, and for four, I will not turn away from it; because they sawed with iron saws the women with child of the Galaadites.

¹² But they know not the thought of the Lord, and have not understood his counsel: for he has gathered them as sheaves of the floor. ¹³ Arise, and thresh them, O daughter of Sion: for I will make your horns iron, and I will make your hoofs brass: and you shall utterly destroy many nations, and shall consecrate their abundance to the Lord, and their strength to the Lord of all the earth.

¹³ And Moses said to the people, Be of good courage: stand and see the salvation which is from the Lord, which he will work for us this day; for as you⌃ have seen the Egyptians today, you⌃ shall see them again no more for ever. ¹⁴ The Lord shall fight for you, and you⌃ shall hold your peace.

¹ Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song to God, and spoke, saying, Let us sing to the Lord, for he is very greatly glorified: horse and rider he has thrown into the sea. ² He was to me a helper and protector for salvation: this is my God and I will glorify him; my father's God, and I will exalt him.

¹¹ And when they fled from the face of the children of Israel at the descent of Oronin, then the Lord cast upon them hailstones from heaven to Azeca; and they were more that died by the hailstones, than those whom the children of Israel killed with the sword in the battle.

²⁴ And when they brought them out to Joshua, then Joshua called together all Israel, and the chiefs of the army that went with him, saying to them, Come forward and set your feet on their necks; and they came and set their feet on their necks.

⁸ And the Lord delivered them into the power of Israel; and they struck them and pursued them to great Sidon, and to Maseron, and to the plains of Massoch eastward; and they destroyed them till there was not one of them left that survived.

¹² And Joshua took all the cities of the kingdoms, and their kings, and killed them with the edge of the sword; and utterly killed them, as Moses the servant of the Lord commanded.

⁶ For you will give him a blessing for ever and ever: you will gladden him with joy with your countenance.

⁸ A voice of the Lord who shakes the wilderness; the Lord will shake the wilderness of Cades.

⁷ For I have suffered reproach for your sake; shame has covered my face.

¹⁹ For you know my reproach, and my shame, and my confusion; all that afflict me are before you. ²⁰ My soul has waited for reproach and misery; and I waited for one to grieve with me, but there was none; and for one to comfort me, but I found none. ²¹ They gave [me] also gall for my food, and made me drink vinegar for my thirst. ²² Let their table before them be for a snare, and for a recompense, and for a stumbling block. ²³ Let their eyes be darkened that they should not see; and bow down their back continually.

²⁰ Forasmuch as he struck the rock, and the waters flowed, and the torrents ran abundantly; will he be able also to give bread, or prepare a table for his people?

¹⁵ And he gave them their request, and sent fullness into their souls.

²⁶ So he lifted up his hand against them, to cast them down in the wilderness;

⁶ He has declared to his people the power of his works, to give them the inheritance of the heathen.

¹¹ Then he remembered the ancient days, [saying], Where is he that brought up from the sea the shepherd of the sheep? where is he that put his Holy Spirit in them?

¹⁰ come then, let us deal craftily with them, lest at any time they be increased, and whenever war shall happen to us, these also shall be added to our enemies, and having prevailed against us in war, they will depart out of the land. ¹¹ And he set over them taskmasters, who should afflict them in their works; and they built strong cities for Pharao, both Pitho, and Ramesses, and On, which is Heliopolis. ¹² But as they humbled them, by so much they multiplied, and grew exceedingly strong; and the Egyptians greatly abhorred the children of Israel. ¹³ And the Egyptians tyrannized over the children of Israel by force. ¹⁴ And they embittered their life by hard labors, in the clay and in brick-making, and all the works in the plains, according to all the works, wherein they caused them to serve with violence. ¹⁵ And the king of the Egyptians spoke to the midwives of the Hebrews; the name of the one was, Sepphora; and the name of the second, Phua. ¹⁶ And he said, When you⌃ do the office of midwives to the Hebrew women, and they are about to be delivered, if it be a male, kill it; but if a female, save it.

²² And Pharao charged all his people, saying, Whatever male [child] shall be born to the Hebrews, cast into the river; and every female, save it alive.

⁴ And Moses said, These things says the Lord, About midnight I go forth into the midst of Egypt. ⁵ And every firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharao that sits on the throne, even to the firstborn of the woman-servant that is by the mill, and to the firstborn of all cattle. ⁶ And there shall be a great cry through all the land of Egypt, such as has not been, and such shall not be repeated any more. ⁷ But among all the children of Israel shall not a dog snarl with his tongue, either at man or beast; that you may know how wide a distinction the Lord will make between the Egyptians and Israel.

¹² and I will go throughout the land of Egypt in that night, and will strike every firstborn in the land of Egypt both man and beast, and on all the gods of Egypt will I execute vengeance: I [am] the Lord. ¹³ And the blood shall be for a sign to you on the houses in which you⌃ are, and I will see the blood, and will protect you, and there shall not be on you the plague of destruction, when I strike in the land of Egypt.

⁵ And it was reported to the king of the Egyptians that the people had fled: and the heart of Pharao was turned, and that of his servants against the people; and they said, What is this that we have done, to let the children of Israel go, so that they should not serve us? ⁶ So Pharao yoked his chariots, and led off all his people with himself: ⁷ having also taken six hundred chosen chariots, and all the cavalry of the Egyptians, and rulers over all. ⁸ And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharao king of Egypt, and of his servants, and he pursued after the children of Israel; and the children of Israel went forth with a high hand. ⁹ And the Egyptians pursued after them, and found them encamped by the sea; and all the cavalry and the chariots of Pharao, and the horsemen, and his host [were] before the village, over against Beel-sepphon.

¹⁷ And behold! I will harden the heart of Pharao and of all the Egyptians, and they shall go in after them; and I will be glorified upon Pharao, and on all his host, and on his chariots and his horses. ¹⁸ And all the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I am glorified upon Pharao and upon his chariots and his horses.

⁹ The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoils; I will satisfy my soul, I will destroy with my sword, my hand shall have dominion. ¹⁰ You sent forth your wind, the sea covered them; they sank like lead in the mighty water.

²² And they sounded with the three hundred horns; and the Lord set [every] man's sword in all the host against his neighbor.

⁸ For the Lord [is] righteous, and loves righteousness; his face beholds uprightness.

² Hear my prayer; to you all flesh shall come. ³ The words of transgressors have overpowered us; but do you pardon our sins. ⁴ Blessed [is he] whom you have chosen and adopted; he shall dwell in your courts; we shall be filled with the good things of your house; your temple is holy. ⁵ [You are] wonderful in righteousness. Listen to us, O God our Saviour; the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of them [that are] on the sea afar off: ⁶ who do establish the mountains in your strength, being girded about with power; ⁷ who trouble the depth of the sea, the sounds of its waves.

² My soul longs, and faints for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh have exulted in the living god.

⁸ O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: listen, O God of Jacob. Pause. ⁹ Behold, O God our defender, and look upon the face of your anointed. ¹⁰ For one day in your courts is better than thousands. I would rather be an abject in the house of God, than dwell in the tents of sinners. ¹¹ For the Lord loves mercy and truth: God will give grace and glory: the Lord will not withhold good things from them that walk in innocence.

¹⁰ With my whole heart have I diligently sought you: cast me not away from your commandments. ¹¹ I have hidden your oracles in my heart, that I might not sin against you. ¹² Blessed are you, O Lord: teach me your ordinances.

⁴⁰ And at the end of the time he shall conflict with the king of the south: and the king of the north shall come against him with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and they shall enter into the land: and he shall break in pieces, and pass on:

¹⁴ And the Lord shall be over them, and [his] arrow shall go forth as lightning: and the Lord Almighty shall blow with the trumpet; and shall proceed with the tumult of his threatening.

⁸ And by the breath of your anger the water parted asunder; the waters were congealed as a wall, the waves were congealed in the midst of the sea.

¹⁹ They spoke also against God, and said, Will God be able to prepare a table in the wilderness?

⁸ Was you angry, O Lord, with the rivers? or [was] your wrath against the rivers, or your anger against the sea? for you will mount on your horses, and your chariots are salvation.

⁴⁹ The Lord shall bring upon you a nation from the extremity of the earth, like the swift flying of an eagle, a nation whose voice you shall not understand; ⁵⁰ a nation bold in countenance, which shall not respect the person of the aged and shall not pity the young. ⁵¹ And it shall eat up the young of your cattle, and the fruits of your land, so as not to leave to you corn, wine, oil, the herds of your oxen, and the flocks of your sheep, until it shall have destroyed you; ⁵² and have utterly crushed you in your cities, until the high and strong walls be destroyed, in which you trust, in all your land; and it shall afflict you in your cities, which he has given to you.

¹ In his days went up Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and Joakim became his servant three years; and [then] he turned and revolted from him. ² And the lord sent against him the bands of the Chaldeans, and the bands of Syria, and the bans of Moab, and the bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them into the land of Juda to prevail [against it], according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke by his servants the prophets.

¹⁵ that the Lord my God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him.

²⁰ Go, my people, enter into your closets, shut your door, hide yourself for a little season, until the anger of the Lord have passed away. ²¹ For, behold, the Lord is bringing wrath from [his] holy place upon the dwellers on the earth: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall not cover her slain.

¹⁰ Woe is me, [my] mother! you have born me as some man of strife, and at variance with the whole earth; I have not helped [others], nor has any one helped me; my strength has failed among them that curse me. ¹¹ Be it so, Lord, in their prosperity; surely I stood before you in the time of their calamities, and in the time of their affliction, for [their] good against the enemy.

⁹ My heart is broken within me; all my bones are shaken: I am become as a broken-down man, and as a man overcome with wine, because of the Lord, and because of the excellence of his glory.

⁹ behold I [will] send and take a family from the north, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants of it, and against all the nations round about it, and I will make them utterly waste, and make them a desolation, and a hissing, and an everlasting reproach. ¹⁰ And I will destroy from [among] them the voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the scent of ointment, and the light of a candle. ¹¹ And all the land shall be a desolation; and they shall serve among the Gentiles seventy years.

³ For thus says the Lord; This city shall certainly be delivered into the hands of the host of the king of Babylon, and they shall take it. ⁴ And they said to the king, Let that man, we pray you, be slain, for he weakens the hands of the fighting men that are left in the city, and the hands of all the people, speaking to them according to these words: for this man does not prophesy peace to this people, but evil. ⁵ Then the king said, Behold, he is in your hands. For the king could not resist them.

¹⁴ And the Spirit lifted me, and took me up, and I went in the impulse of my spirit; and the hand of the Lord was mighty upon me.

⁴ And said to him, Go through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark on the foreheads of the men that groan and that grieve for all the iniquities that are done in the midst of them. ⁵ And he said to the first in my hearing, Go after him into the city, and strike: and let not your eyes spare, and have no mercy. ⁶ Slay utterly old man and youth, and virgin, and infants, and women: but go you⌃ not near any on whom is the mark: begin at my sanctuary. So they began with the elder men who were within in the house.

²⁷ And I Daniel fell asleep, and was sick: then I arose, and did the king's business; and I wondered at the vision, and there was none that understood [it].

⁸ So I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there was no strength left in me, and my glory was turned into corruption, and I retained no strength.

⁵ Behold, you⌃ despisers, and look, and wonder marvelously, and vanish: for I work a work in your days, which you⌃ will in no wise believe, though a man declare [it to you]. ⁶ Therefore, behold, I stir up the Chaldeans, the bitter and hasty nation, that walks upon the breadth of the earth, to inherit tabernacles not his own. ⁷ He is terrible and famous; his judgment shall proceed of himself, and his dignity shall come out of himself. ⁸ And his horses shall bound [more swiftly] than leopards, and [they are] fiercer than the wolves of Arabia: and his horsemen shall ride forth, and shall rush from far; and they shall fly as an eagle hasting to eat. ⁹ Destruction shall come upon ungodly men, resisting with their adverse front, and he shall gather the captivity as the sand. ¹⁰ And he shall be at his ease with kings, and princes are his toys, and he shall mock at every strong-hold, and shall cast a mound, and take possession of it. ¹¹ Then shall he change his spirit, and he shall pass through, and make an atonement, [saying], This strength [belongs] to my god.

² O Lord, I have heard your report, and was afraid: I considered your works, and was amazed: you shall be known between the two living creatures, you shall be acknowledged when the years draw near; you shall be manifested when the time is come; when my soul is troubled, you will in wrath remember mercy.

¹⁵ But it shall come to pass, if you will not listen to the voice of the Lord your God, to observe all his commandments, as many as I charge you this day, then all these curses shall come on you, and overtake you. ¹⁶ Cursed [shall] you [be] in the city, and cursed shall you be in the field. ¹⁷ Cursed shall be your barns and your stores. ¹⁸ Cursed shall be the offspring of your body, and the fruits of your land, the herds of your oxen, and the flocks of your sheep.

³⁰ you shall take a wife, and another man shall have her; you shall build a house, and you shall not dwell in it; you shall plant a vineyard, and shall not gather the grapes of it. ³¹ Your calf [shall be] slain before you, and you shall not eat of it; your ass shall be violently taken away from you, and shall not be restored to you: your sheep shall be given to your enemies, and you shall have no helper. ³² Your sons and your daughters shall be given to another nation, and your eyes wasting away shall look for them: your hand shall have no strength. ³³ A nation which you know not shall eat the produce of your land, and all your labors; and you shall be injured and crushed always. ³⁴ And you shall be distracted, because of the sights of your eyes which you shall see. ³⁵ The Lord strike you with an evil sore, on the knees and the legs, so that you shall not be able to be healed from the sole of your foot to the crown of your head. ³⁶ The Lord carry away you and your princes, whom you shall set over you, to a nation which neither you nor your fathers know; and you shall there serve other gods, wood and stone. ³⁷ An you shall be there for a wonder, and a parable, and a tale, among all the nations, to which the Lord your God shall carry you away. ³⁸ You shall carry forth much seed into the field, and you shall bring in little, because the locust shall devour it. ³⁹ You shall plant a vineyard, and dress it, and shall not drink the wine, neither shall you delight yourself with it, because the worm shall devour it. ⁴⁰ You shall have olive trees in all your borders, and you shall not anoint you with oil, because your olive shall utterly cast [its fruit]. ⁴¹ You shall beget sons and daughters, and they shall not be [your], for they shall depart into captivity.

¹⁷ and they shall devour your harvest, and your bread; and shall devour your sons, and your daughters; and they shall devour your sheep, and your calves, and devour your vineyards, and your fig-plantations, and your olive yards: and they shall utterly destroy your strong cities, wherein you⌃ trusted, with the sword.

² Judea has mourned, and her gates are emptied, and are darkened upon the earth; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up. ³ And her nobles have sent their little ones to the water: they came to the wells, and found no water: and brought back their vessels empty. ⁴ And the labors of the land failed, because there was no rain: the husbandmen were ashamed, they covered their heads. ⁵ And hinds calved in the field, and forsook [it], because there was no grass. ⁶ The wild asses stood by the forests, and snuffed up the wind; their eyes failed, because there was no grass. ⁷ Our sins have risen up against us: O Lord, do you for us for your own sake; for our sins are many before you; for we have sinned against you. ⁸ O Lord, [you are] the hope of Israel, and deliver [us] in time of troubles; why are you become as a sojourner upon the land, or as one born in the land, yet turning aside for a resting-place?

¹⁰ For the plains languish: let the land mourn, for the corn languishes; the wine is dried up, the oil becomes scarce; ¹¹ the husbandmen are consumed: mourn your property on account of the wheat and barley; for the harvest has perished from off the field. ¹² The vine is dried up, and the fig-trees are become few; the pomegranate, and palm tree, and apple, and all trees of the field are dried up: for the sons of men have have abolished joy. ¹³ Gird yourselves [with sackcloth], and lament, you⌃ priests: mourn, you⌃ that serve at the altar: go in, sleep in sackcloths, you⌃ that minister to God: for the meat-offering and drink-offering are withheld from the house of your God.

¹⁶ [Your] meat has been destroyed before your eyes, joy and gladness from out of the house of your God. ¹⁷ The heifers have started at their mangers, the treasures are abolished, the wine presses are broken down; for the corn is withered. ¹⁸ What shall we store up for ourselves? the herds of cattle have mourned, because they had no pasture; and the flocks of sheep have been utterly destroyed.

⁶ And I will give you dullness of teeth in all your cities, and lack of bread in all your places: yet you⌃ returned not to me, says the Lord. ⁷ Also I withheld from you the rain three months before the harvest: and I will rain upon one city, and on another city I will not rain: one part shall be rained upon, and the part on which I shall not rain shall be dried up. ⁸ And [the inhabitants of] two or three cities shall be gathered to one city to drink water, and they shall not be satisfied: yet you⌃ have not returned to me, says the Lord. ⁹ I struck you with parching, and with blight: you⌃ multiplied your gardens, your vineyards, and your fig-grounds, and the cankerworm devoured your olive yards: yet not [even] thus did you⌃ return to me, says the Lord. ¹⁰ I sent pestilence among you by the way of Egypt, and killed your young men with the sword, together with your horses that were taken captive; and in my wrath against you I set fire to your camps: yet not even thus did you⌃ return to me, says the Lord.

¹⁶ And now consider, I pray you, from this day and beforetime, before they laid a stone on a stone in the temple of the Lord, what manner of men you⌃ were. ¹⁷ When you⌃ cast into the corn-bin twenty measures of barley, and there were [only] ten measures of barley: and you⌃ went to the vat to draw out fifty measures, and there were [but] twenty.

² He was to me a helper and protector for salvation: this is my God and I will glorify him; my father's God, and I will exalt him.

¹⁸ But before the Lord your God you shall eat it, in the place which the Lord your God shall choose for himself, you, and your son, and your daughter, your man-servant, and your maidservant, and the stranger that is within your gates; and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God, on whatever you shall lay your hand.

¹ My heart is established in the Lord, my horn is exalted in my God; my mouth is enlarged over my enemies, I have rejoiced in your salvation.

¹⁵ Though the Mighty One should lay hand upon me, forasmuch as he has begun, verily I will speak, and plead before him.

⁵ I have hated the assembly of wicked doers; and will not sit with ungodly [men].

¹ (28) [A Psalm] of David. To you, O Lord, have I cried; my God, be not silent toward me: lest you be silent toward me, and so I should be likened to them that go down to the pit.

¹ (34) [A Psalm] of David, when he changed his countenance before Abimelech; and he let him go, and he departed. I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall be continually in my mouth.

¹ (47) For the end, a Psalm for the sons of Core. Clap your hands, all you⌃ nations; shout to God with a voice of exultation. ² For the Lord most high is terrible; [he is] a great king over all the earth. ³ He has subdued the peoples under us, and the nations under our feet. ⁴ He has chosen out his inheritance for us, the beauty of Jacob which he loved. Pause. ⁵ God is gone up with a shout, the Lord with a sound of a trumpet.

³⁴ He spoke, and the locust came, and caterpillars innumerable,

¹⁴ I have delighted in the way of your testimonies, [as much] as in all riches. ¹⁵ I will meditate on your commandments, and consider your ways.

² Let Israel rejoice in him that made him; and let the children of Sion exult in their king.

² Behold, my God is my Saviour; I will trust in him, and not be afraid: for the Lord is my glory and my praise, and is become my salvation.

¹⁶ and you shall winnow [them], and the wind shall carry them away, and a tempest shall scatter them: but you shall rejoice in the holy ones of Israel.

¹⁰ and they shall greatly rejoice in the Lord. Let my soul rejoice in the Lord; for he has clothed me with the robe of salvation, and the garment of joy: he has put a mitre on me as on a bridegroom, and adorned me with ornaments as a bride.

⁷ But I will look to the Lord; I will wait upon God my Saviour: my God will listen to me.

⁷ And they shall be as the warriors of Ephraim, and their heart shall rejoice as with wine: and their children also shall see [it], and be glad; and their heart shall rejoice in the Lord.

¹³ He brought them up on the strength of the land; he fed them with the fruits of the fields; they sucked honey out of the rock, and oil out of the solid rock.

²⁹ Blessed [are] you, O Israel; who [is] like to you, O people saved by the Lord? your helper shall hold his shield over you, and [his] sword [is] your boast; and your enemies shall speak falsely to you, and you shall tread upon their neck.

³⁴ He makes my feet like hart's feet, and sets me upon the high places.

¹ For the End, a Song of David among [the ]Psalms. When I called upon [him], the God of my righteousness heard me: you have made room for me in tribulation; pity me, and listen to my prayer. ² O you⌃ sons of men, how long [will you⌃ be] slow of heart? therefore do you⌃ love vanity, and seek falsehood? Pause. ³ But know you⌃ that the Lord has done wondrous things for his holy one: the Lord will hear me when I cry to him. ⁴ Be you⌃ angry, and sin not; feel compunction upon your beds for what you⌃ say in your hearts. Pause. ⁵ Offer the sacrifice of righteousness, and trust in the Lord. ⁶ Many say, Who will show us good things? the light of your countenance, O Lord, has been manifested towards us. ⁷ You have put gladness into my heart: they have been satisfied with the fruit of their corn and wine and oil. ⁸ I will both lie down in peace and sleep: for you, Lord, only have caused me to dwell securely.

¹ For the End, a Psalm of David among the Hymns for the eighth. O Lord, rebuke me not in your wrath, neither chasten me in your anger. ² Pity me, O Lord; for I am weak: heal me, O Lord; for my bones are vexed. ³ My soul also is grievously vexed: but you, O Lord, how long? ⁴ Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: save me for your mercy's sake. ⁵ For in death no man remembers you: and who will give you thanks in Hades? ⁶ I am wearied with my groaning; I shall wash my bed every night; I shall water my couch with tears. ⁷ Mine eye is troubled because of my wrath; I am worn out because of all my enemies. ⁸ Depart from me, all you⌃ that work iniquity; for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping. ⁹ The Lord has listened to my petition; the Lord has accepted my prayer. ¹⁰ Let all mine enemies be put to shame and sore troubled: let them be turned back and grievously put to shame speedily.

¹ (19) For the end, a Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims the work of his hands.

¹ (47) For the end, a Psalm for the sons of Core. Clap your hands, all you⌃ nations; shout to God with a voice of exultation.

¹ (55) For the end, among Hymns of instruction by David. Listen, O God, to my prayer; and disregard not my supplication. ² Attend to me, and listen to me: I was grieved in my meditation, and troubled; ³ because of the voice of the enemy, and because of the oppression of the sinner: for they brought iniquity against me, and were wrathfully angry with me. ⁴ My heart was troubled within me; and the fear of death fell upon me. ⁵ Fear and trembling came upon me, and darkness covered me. ⁶ And I said, O that I had wings as [those] of a dove! then would I flee away, and be at rest. ⁷ Behold! I have fled afar off, and lodged in the wilderness. Pause. ⁸ I waited for him that should deliver me from distress of spirit and tempest. ⁹ Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen iniquity and gain saying in the city. ¹⁰ Day and night he shall go round about it upon its walls: iniquity and sorrow and unrighteousness [are] in the midst of it; ¹¹ and usury and craft have not failed from its streets. ¹² For if an enemy had reproached me, I would have endured it; and if one who hated [me] had spoken vauntingly against me, I would have hid myself from him. ¹³ But you, O man like minded, my guide, and my acquaintance, ¹⁴ who in companionship with me sweetened [our] food: we walked in the house of God in concord. ¹⁵ Let death come upon them, and let them go down alive into Hades, for iniquity is in their dwellings, in the midst of them. ¹⁶ I cried to God, and the Lord listened to me. ¹⁷ Evening, and morning, and at noon I will declare and make known [my wants]: and he shall hear my voice. ¹⁸ He shall deliver my soul in peace from them that draw near to me: for they were with me in many [cases]. ¹⁹ God shall hear, and bring them low, [even] he that has existed from eternity. Pause. For they suffer no reverse, and [therefore] they have not feared God. ²⁰ He has reached forth his hand for retribution; they have profaned his covenant. ²¹ They were scattered at the anger of his countenance, and his heart drew near them. His words were smoother than oil, yet are they darts. ²² Cast your care upon the Lord, and he shall sustain you; he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. ²³ But you, O God, shall bring them down to the pit of destruction; bloody and crafty men shall not live out half their days; but I will hope in you, O Lord.

¹ (56) For the end, concerning the people that were removed from the sanctuary, by David for a memorial, when the Philistines caught him in Geth. Have mercy upon me, O God; for man has trodden me down; all the day long he warring has afflicted me. ² Mine enemies have trodden me down all the day from the dawning of the day; for there are many warring against me. ³ They shall be afraid, but I will trust in you. ⁴ In God I will praise my words; all the day have I hoped in God; I will not fear what flesh shall do to me. ⁵ All the day long they have abominated my words; all their devices [are] against me for evil. ⁶ They will dwell near and hide [themselves]; they will watch my steps, accordingly as I have waited patiently in my soul. ⁷ You will on no account save them; you will bring down the people in wrath. ⁸ O God, I have declared my life to you; you has set my tears before you, even according to your promise. ⁹ Mine enemies shall be turned back, in the day wherein I shall call upon you; behold, I know that you are my God. ¹⁰ In God, will I praise [his] word; in the Lord will I praise [his] saying. ¹¹ I have hoped in God; I will not be afraid of what man shall do to me. ¹² The vows of your praise, O God, which I will pay, are upon me. ¹³ For you have delivered my soul from death, and my feet from sliding, that I should be well-pleasing before God in the land of the living.

¹ (68) For the end, a Psalm of a Song by David. Let God arise, and let his enemies be scattered; and let them that hate him flee from before him. ² As smoke vanishes, let them vanish: as wax melts before the fire, so let the sinners perish from before God. ³ But let the righteous rejoice; let them exult before God: let them be delighted with joy. ⁴ Sing to God, sing praises to his name: make a way for him that rides upon the west (the Lord is his name) and exult before him. They shall be troubled before the face of him, ⁵ [who is] the father of the orphans, and judge of the widows: [such is] God in his holy place. ⁶ God settles the solitary in a house; leading forth prisoners mightily, also them that act provokingly, [even] them that dwell in tombs. ⁷ O God, when you went forth before your people, when you went through the wilderness; Pause:

¹ (77) For the end, for Idithun, a Psalm of Asaph. I cried to the Lord with my voice, yes, my voice [was addressed] to God; and he gave heed to me. ² In the day of mine affliction I earnestly sought the Lord; [even] with my hands by night before him, and I was not deceived; my soul refused to be comforted. ³ I remembered God, and rejoiced; I poured out my complaint, and my soul fainted. Pause. ⁴ All mine enemies set a watch [against me]: I was troubled, and spoke not. ⁵ I considered the days of old, and remembered ancient years. ⁶ And I meditated; I communed with my heart by night, and diligently searched my spirit, [saying], ⁷ Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be well pleased no more? ⁸ Will he cut off his mercy for ever, even for ever and ever? ⁹ Will God forget to pity? or will he shut up his compassions in his wrath? Pause. ¹⁰ And I said, Now I have begun; this is the change of the right hand of the Most High. ¹¹ I remembered the works of the Lord; for I will remember your wonders from the beginning. ¹² And I will meditate on all your works, and will consider your doings.

²⁴ saying, Righteousness and glory shall come to him: and all that remove them from their borders shall be ashamed.

¹⁴ then shall you trust on the Lord; and he shall bring you up to the good places of the land, and feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father: for the mouth of the Lord has spoken this.

¹² And I will strengthen them in the Lord their God; and they shall boast in his name, says the Lord.
