| 1 |
Sing aloud unto God our strength: Make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob. |
| 2 |
Raise a song, and bring hither the timbrel, The pleasant harp with the psaltery. |
| 3 |
Blow the trumpet at the new moon, At the full moon, on our feast-day. |
| 4 |
For it is a statute for Israel, An ordinance of the God of Jacob. |
| 5 |
He appointed it in Joseph for a testimony, When he went out over the land of Egypt, Where I heard a language that I knew not. |
| 6 |
I removed his shoulder from the burden: His hands were freed from the basket. |
| 7 |
Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah |
| 8 |
Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wouldest hearken unto me! |
| 9 |
There shall no strange god be in thee; Neither shalt thou worship any foreign god. |
| 10 |
I am Jehovah thy God, Who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt: Open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. |
| 11 |
But my people hearkened not to my voice; And Israel would none of me. |
| 12 |
So I let them go after the stubbornness of their heart, That they might walk in their own counsels. |
| 13 |
Oh that my people would hearken unto me, That Israel would walk in my ways! |
| 14 |
I would soon subdue their enemies, And turn my hand against their adversaries. |
| 15 |
The haters of Jehovah should submit themselves unto him: But their time should endure for ever. |
| 16 |
He would feed them also with the finest of the wheat; And with honey out of the rock would I satisfy thee. A Psalm of Asaph. |
| 1 |
O Jehovah, the God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee. |
| 2 |
Let my prayer enter into thy presence; Incline thine ear unto my cry. |
| 3 |
For my soul is full of troubles, And my life draweth nigh unto Sheol. |
| 4 |
I am reckoned with them that go down into the pit; I am as a man that hath no help, |
| 5 |
Cast off among the dead, Like the slain that lie in the grave, Whom thou rememberest no more, And they are cut off from thy hand. |
| 6 |
Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, In dark places, in the deeps. |
| 7 |
Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, And thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah |
| 8 |
Thou hast put mine acquaintance far from me; Thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth. |
| 9 |
Mine eye wasteth away by reason of affliction: I have called daily upon thee, O Jehovah; I have spread forth my hands unto thee. |
| 10 |
Wilt thou show wonders to the dead? Shall they that are deceased arise and praise thee? Selah |
| 11 |
Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? Or thy faithfulness in Destruction? |
| 12 |
Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? And thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness? |
| 13 |
But unto thee, O Jehovah, have I cried; And in the morning shall my prayer come before thee. |
| 14 |
Jehovah, why castest thou off my soul? Why hidest thou thy face from me? |
| 15 |
I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: While I suffer thy terrors I am distracted. |
| 16 |
Thy fierce wrath is gone over me; Thy terrors have cut me off. |
| 17 |
They came round about me like water all the day long; They compassed me about together. |
| 18 |
Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, And mine acquaintance into darkness. Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite. |
| 1 |
It is a good thing to give thanks unto Jehovah, And to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High; |
| 2 |
To show forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, And thy faithfulness every night, |
| 3 |
With an instrument of ten strings, and with the psaltery; With a solemn sound upon the harp. |
| 4 |
For thou, Jehovah, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands. |
| 5 |
How great are thy works, O Jehovah! Thy thoughts are very deep. |
| 6 |
A brutish man knoweth not; Neither doth a fool understand this: |
| 7 |
When the wicked spring as the grass, And when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; It is that they shall be destroyed for ever. |
| 8 |
But thou, O Jehovah, art on high for evermore. |
| 9 |
For, lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah, For, lo, thine enemies shall perish; All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. |
| 10 |
But my horn hast thou exalted like the horn of the wild-ox: I am anointed with fresh oil. |
| 11 |
Mine eye also hath seen my desire on mine enemies, Mine ears have heard my desire of the evil-doers that rise up against me. |
| 12 |
The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree: He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. |
| 13 |
They are planted in the house of Jehovah; They shall flourish in the courts of our God. |
| 14 |
They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; They shall be full of sap and green: |
| 15 |
To show that Jehovah is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him. |
| 1 |
Jehovah reigneth; he is clothed with majesty; Jehovah is clothed with strength; he hath girded himself therewith: The world also is established, that it cannot be moved. |
| 2 |
Thy throne is established of old: Thou art from everlasting. |
| 3 |
The floods have lifted up, O Jehovah, The floods have lifted up their voice; The floods lift up their waves. |
| 4 |
Above the voices of many waters, The mighty breakers of the sea, Jehovah on high is mighty. |
| 5 |
Thy testimonies are very sure: Holiness becometh thy house, O Jehovah, for evermore. |
