10 My shield is with God,

11 God is a righteous judge,

12 If a man turn not, he will whet his sword;

13 He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death;

18 For the needy shall not alway be forgotten,

19 Arise, O Jehovah; let not man prevail:

20 Put them in fear, O Jehovah:

1 Why standest thou afar off, O Jehovah?

2 In the pride of the wicked the poor is hotly pursued;

3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart’desire,

4 The wicked, in the pride of his countenance, saith, He will not require it.

5 His ways are firm at all times;

6 He saith in his heart, I shall not be moved;

7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and oppression:

8 He sitteth in the lurking-places of the villages;

9 He lurketh in secret as a lion in his covert;

10 He croucheth, he boweth down,

11 He saith in his heart: God hath forgotten;

12 Arise, O Jehovah; O God, lift up thy hand:

13 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God,

14 Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand:

15 Break thou the arm of the wicked;

16 Jehovah is King for ever and ever:

17 Jehovah, thou hast heard the desire of the meek:

18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed,

1 In Jehovah do I take refuge:

3 I will call upon Jehovah, who is worthy to be praised:

4 The cords of death compassed me,

5 The cords of Sheol were round about me;

6 In my distress I called upon Jehovah,

7 Then the earth shook and trembled;

8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils,

9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down;

10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly;

11 He made darkness his hiding-place, his pavilion round about him,

12 At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed,

13 Jehovah also thundered in the heavens,

14 And he sent out his arrows, and scattered them;

15 Then the channels of waters appeared,

16 He sent from on high, he took me;

17 He delivered me from my strong enemy,

18 They came upon me in the day of my calamity;

19 He brought me forth also into a large place;

20 Jehovah hath rewarded me according to my righteousness;

21 For I have kept the ways of Jehovah,

22 For all his ordinances were before me,

23 I was also perfect with him,

24 Therefore hath Jehovah recompensed me according to my righteousness,

25 With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful;

10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be:

11 But the meek shall inherit the land,

12 The wicked plotteth against the just,

13 The Lord will laugh at him;

14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow,

15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart,

16 Better is a little that the righteous hath

17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken;

18 Jehovah knoweth the days of the perfect;

19 They shall not be put to shame in the time of evil;

20 But the wicked shall perish,

21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again;

22 For such as are blessed of him shall inherit the land;

V3 Trust in the LORD

23 A man’goings are established of Jehovah;

24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down;

25 I have been young, and now am old;

26 All the day long he dealeth graciously, and lendeth;

27 Depart from evil, and do good;

28 For Jehovah loveth justice,

29 The righteous shall inherit the land,

30 The mouth of the righteous talketh of wisdom,

31 The law of his God is in his heart;

32 The wicked watcheth the righteous,

33 Jehovah will not leave him in his hand,

34 Wait for Jehovah, and keep his way,

35 I have seen the wicked in great power,

36 But one passed by, and, lo, he was not:

37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright;

38 As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together:

39 But the salvation of the righteous is of Jehovah:

40 And Jehovah helpeth them, and rescueth them:

1 O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thy wrath;

2 For thine arrows stick fast in me,

3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine indignation;

4 For mine iniquities are gone over my head:

5 My wounds are loathsome and corrupt,

6 I am pained and bowed down greatly;

7 For my loins are filled with burning;

8 I am faint and sore bruised:

9 Lord, all my desire is before thee;

10 My heart throbbeth, my strength faileth me:

11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague;

12 They also that seek after my life lay snares for me;

13 But I, as a deaf man, hear not;

14 Yea, I am as a man that heareth not,

15 For in thee, O Jehovah, do I hope:

16 For I said, Lest they rejoice over me:

17 For I am ready to fall,

18 For I will declare mine iniquity;

19 But mine enemies are lively, and are strong;

20 They also that render evil for good

21 Forsake me not, O Jehovah:

22 Make haste to help me,

1 I said, I will take heed to my ways,

2 I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good;

3 My heart was hot within me;

4 Jehovah, make me to know mine end,

5 Behold, thou hast made my days as handbreadths;

6 Surely every man walketh in a vain show;

7 And now, Lord, what wait I for?

8 Deliver me from all my transgressions:

9 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth;

10 Remove thy stroke away from me:

11 When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity,

12 Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, and give ear unto my cry;

13 Oh spare me, that I may recover strength,

V1 Guard our ways

1 I waited patiently for Jehovah;

2 He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay;

3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God:

4 Blessed is the man that maketh Jehovah his trust,

5 Many, O Jehovah my God, are the wonderful works which thou hast done,

6 Sacrifice and offering thou hast no delight in;

7 Then said I, Lo, I am come;

8 I delight to do thy will, O my God;

9 I have proclaimed glad tidings of righteousness in the great assembly;

10 I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart;

V1 Waiting patiently
V5 GOD’s thoughts

11 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Jehovah;

12 For innumerable evils have compassed me about;

13 Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me:

14 Let them be put to shame and confounded together

15 Let them be desolate by reason of their shame

16 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee:

17 But I am poor and needy;

V11 Being preserved

1 Blessed is he that considereth the poor:

2 Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive,

3 Jehovah will support him upon the couch of languishing:

4 I said, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me:

5 Mine enemies speak evil against me, saying,

6 And if he come to see me, he speaketh falsehood;

7 All that hate me whisper together against me;

8 An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him;

9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted,

V9 When Betrayal Hurts, Christ Heals

10 But thou, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me, and raise me up,

11 By this I know that thou delightest in me,

12 And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity,

13 Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel,

1 As the hart panteth after the water brooks,

2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God:

3 My tears have been my food day and night,

4 These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me,

5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul?

6 O my God, my soul is cast down within me:

7 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterfalls:

8 Yet Jehovah will command his lovingkindness in the day-time;

9 I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me?

10 As with a sword in my bones, mine adversaries reproach me,

11 Why art thou cast down, O my soul?

V1 Thirsting for GOD
V11 Speaking to our soul

1 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation:

2 For thou art the God of my strength; why hast thou cast me off?

3 Oh send out thy light and thy truth; let them lead me:

4 Then will I go unto the altar of God,

5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul?

V3 Light and Truth

1 We have heard with our ears, O God,

2 Thou didst drive out the nations with thy hand;

3 For they gat not the land in possession by their own sword,

4 Thou art my King, O God:

5 Through thee will we push down our adversaries:

6 For I will not trust in my bow,

7 But thou hast saved us from our adversaries,

8 In God have we made our boast all the day long,

9 But now thou hast cast us off, and brought us to dishonor,

10 Thou makest us to turn back from the adversary;

11 Thou hast made us like sheep appointed for food,

12 Thou sellest thy people for nought,

13 Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbors,

14 Thou makest us a byword among the nations,

15 All the day long is my dishonor before me,

16 For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth,

17 All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee,

18 Our heart is not turned back,

19 That thou hast sore broken us in the place of jackals,

20 If we have forgotten the name of our God,

21 Will not God search this out?

22 Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long;

23 Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord?

24 Wherefore hidest thou thy face,

25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust:

26 Rise up for our help,

1 My heart overfloweth with a goodly matter;

2 Thou art fairer than the children of men;

3 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O mighty one,

4 And in thy majesty ride on prosperously,

5 Thine arrows are sharp;

6 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever:

7 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness:

8 All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia;

9 Kings’ daughters are among thy honorable women:

10 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear;

11 So will the king desire thy beauty;

12 And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift;

13 The king’daughter within the palace is all glorious:

14 She shall be led unto the king in broidered work:

15 With gladness and rejoicing shall they be led:

16 Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children,

17 I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations:

1 God is our refuge and strength,

2 Therefore will we not fear, though the earth do change,

3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled,

4 There is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God,

5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved:

6 The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved:

7 Jehovah of hosts is with us;

9 The princes of the peoples are gathered together

1 Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised,

2 Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth,

3 God hath made himself known in her palaces for a refuge.

4 For, lo, the kings assembled themselves,

5 They saw it, then were they amazed;

6 Trembling took hold of them there,

8 As we have heard, so have we seen

9 We have thought on thy lovingkindness, O God,

10 As is thy name, O God,

11 Let mount Zion be glad,

12 Walk about Zion, and go round about her;

13 Mark ye well her bulwarks;

14 For this God is our God for ever and ever:

1 Hear this, all ye peoples;

2 Both low and high,

3 My mouth shall speak wisdom;

4 I will incline mine ear to a parable:

5 Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil,

6 They that trust in their wealth,

7 None of them can by any means redeem his brother,

8 (For the redemption of their life is costly,

9 That he should still live alway,

10 For he shall see it. Wise men die;

11 Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever,

12 But man being in honor abideth not:

13 This their way is their folly:

14 They are appointed as a flock for Sheol;

15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol;

16 Be not thou afraid when one is made rich,

17 For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away;

18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul

19 He shall go to the generation of his fathers;

1 The Mighty One, God, Jehovah, hath spoken,

2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty,

3 Our God cometh, and doth not keep silence:

4 He calleth to the heavens above,

5 Gather my saints together unto me,

6 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness;

V5 Let us gather together to the LORD

7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak;

8 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices;

9 I will take no bullock out of thy house,

10 For every beast of the forest is mine,

11 I know all the birds of the mountains;

12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee;

13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls,

14 Offer unto God the sacrifice of thanksgiving;

15 And call upon me in the day of trouble:

16 But unto the wicked God saith,

17 Seeing that thou hatest instruction,

18 When thou sawest a thief, thou consentedst with him,

19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil,

20 Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother;

21 These things hast thou done, and I kept silence;

22 Now consider this, ye that forget God,

23 Whoso offereth the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifieth me;

1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness:

2 Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity,

3 For I know my transgressions;

4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned,

5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity;

6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts;

7 Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean:

8 Make me to hear joy and gladness,

9 Hide thy face from my sins,

10 Create in me a clean heart, O God;

11 Cast me not away from thy presence;

12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation;

13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways;

14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation;

15 O Lord, open thou my lips;

16 For thou delightest not in sacrifice; else would I give it:

17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit:

18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion:

19 Then wilt thou delight in the sacrifices of righteousness,

1 Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man?

2 Thy tongue deviseth very wickedness,

3 Thou lovest evil more than good,

4 Thou lovest all devouring words,

5 God will likewise destroy thee for ever;

6 The righteous also shall see it, and fear,

7 Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength,

8 But as for me, I am like a green olive-tree in the house of God:

9 I will give thee thanks for ever, because thou hast done it;

1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.

2 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men,

3 Every one of them is gone back; they are together become filthy;

4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge,

5 There were they in great fear, where no fear was;

6 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion!

6 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove!

7 Lo, then would I wander far off,

8 I would haste me to a shelter

9 Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongue;

10 Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof:

11 Wickedness is in the midst thereof:

12 For it was not an enemy that reproached me;

13 But it was thou, a man mine equal,

14 We took sweet counsel together;

15 Let death come suddenly upon them,

16 As for me, I will call upon God;

17 Evening, and morning, and at noonday, will I complain, and moan;

18 He hath redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me;

19 God will hear, and answer them,

20 He hath put forth his hands against such as were at peace with him:

1 Give the king thy judgments, O God,

2 He will judge thy people with righteousness,

3 The mountains shall bring peace to the people,

5 They shall fear thee while the sun endureth,

6 He will come down like rain upon the mown grass,

7 In his days shall the righteous flourish,

8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea,

9 They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him;

10 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall render tribute:

11 Yea, all kings shall fall down before him;

12 For he will deliver the needy when he crieth,

13 He will have pity on the poor and needy,

14 He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence;

15 And they shall live; and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba:

16 There shall be abundance of grain in the earth upon the top of the mountains;

17 His name shall endure for ever;

19 And blessed be his glorious name for ever;

1 Surely God is good to Israel,

2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone;

3 For I was envious at the arrogant,

4 For there are no pangs in their death;

5 They are not in trouble as other men;

6 Therefore pride is as a chain about their neck;

7 Their eyes stand out with fatness:

8 They scoff, and in wickedness utter oppression:

9 They have set their mouth in the heavens,

10 Therefore his people return hither:

11 And they say, How doth God know?

12 Behold, these are the wicked;

13 Surely in vain have I cleansed my heart,

14 For all the day long have I been plagued,

15 If I had said, I will speak thus;

16 When I thought how I might know this,

17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God,

18 Surely thou settest them in slippery places:

19 How are they become a desolation in a moment!

20 As a dream when one awaketh,

21 For my soul was grieved,

22 So brutish was I, and ignorant;

23 Nevertheless I am continually with thee:

24 Thou wilt guide me with thy counsel,

25 Whom have I in heaven but thee?

1 O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever?

4 Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of thine assembly;

5 They seemed as men that lifted up

6 And now all the carved work thereof

7 They have set thy sanctuary on fire;

8 They said in their heart, Let us make havoc of them altogether:

17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth:

18 Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O Jehovah,

19 Oh deliver not the soul of thy turtle-dove unto the wild beast:

20 Have respect unto the covenant;

23 Forget not the voice of thine adversaries:

6 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob,

7 Thou, even thou, art to be feared;

10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee:

11 Vow, and pay unto Jehovah your God:

12 He will cut off the spirit of princes:

1 I will cry unto God with my voice,

2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord:

3 I remember God, and am disquieted:

4 Thou holdest mine eyes watching:

5 I have considered the days of old,

6 I call to remembrance my song in the night:

7 Will the Lord cast off for ever?

8 Is his lovingkindness clean gone for ever?

9 Hath God forgotten to be gracious?

10 And I said, This is my infirmity;

11 I will make mention of the deeds of Jehovah;

12 I will meditate also upon all thy work,

13 Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary:

14 Thou art the God that doest wonders:

15 Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people,

16 The waters saw thee, O God;

17 The clouds poured out water;

18 The voice of thy thunder was in the whirlwind;

19 Thy way was in the sea,

20 Thou leddest thy people like a flock,

1 Give ear, O my people, to my law:

2 I will open my mouth in a parable;

3 Which we have heard and known,

4 We will not hide them from their children,

5 For he established a testimony in Jacob,

6 That the generation to come might know them, even the children that should be born;

7 That they might set their hope in God,

8 And might not be as their fathers,

9 The children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows,

10 They kept not the covenant of God,

11 And they forgat his doings,

12 Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers,

13 He clave the sea, and caused them to pass through;

14 In the day-time also he led them with a cloud,

15 He clave rocks in the wilderness,

16 He brought streams also out of the rock,

17 Yet went they on still to sin against him,

18 And they tempted God in their heart

19 Yea, they spake against God;

20 Behold, he smote the rock, so that waters gushed out,

21 Therefore Jehovah heard, and was wroth;

22 Because they believed not in God,

23 Yet he commanded the skies above,

24 And he rained down manna upon them to eat,

25 Man did eat the bread of the mighty:

26 He caused the east wind to blow in the heavens;

27 He rained flesh also upon them as the dust,

28 And he let it fall in the midst of their camp,

29 So they did eat, and were well filled;

30 They were not estranged from that which they desired,

31 When the anger of God went up against them,

32 For all this they sinned still,

33 Therefore their days did he consume in vanity,

34 When he slew them, then they inquired after him;

35 And they remembered that God was their rock,

36 But they flattered him with their mouth,

37 For their heart was not right with him,

38 But he, being merciful, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not:

39 And he remembered that they were but flesh,

40 How oft did they rebel against him in the wilderness,

41 And they turned again and tempted God,

42 They remembered not his hand,

43 How he set his signs in Egypt,

44 And turned their rivers into blood,

45 He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them;

46 He gave also their increase unto the caterpillar,

47 He destroyed their vines with hail,

48 He gave over their cattle also to the hail,

49 He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger,

50 He made a path for his anger;

51 And smote all the first-born in Egypt,

52 But he led forth his own people like sheep,

53 And he led them safely, so that they feared not;

54 And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary,

55 He drove out the nations also before them,

56 Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God,

57 But turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers:

58 For they provoked him to anger with their high places,

59 When God heard this, he was wroth,

60 So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh,

61 And delivered his strength into captivity,

62 He gave his people over also unto the sword,

63 Fire devoured their young men;

64 Their priests fell by the sword;

65 Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep,

66 And he smote his adversaries backward:

67 Moreover he refused the tent of Joseph,

68 But chose the tribe of Judah,

69 And he built his sanctuary like the heights,

70 He chose David also his servant,

71 From following the ewes that have their young he brought him,

72 So he was their shepherd according to the integrity of his heart,

2 The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be food unto the birds of the heavens,

13 The boar out of the wood doth ravage it,

14 Turn again, we beseech thee, O God of hosts:

15 And the stock which thy right hand planted,

16 It is burned with fire, it is cut down:

9 There shall no strange god be in thee;

10 I am Jehovah thy God,

2 Bless Jehovah, O my soul,

3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities;

4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction;

5 Who satisfieth thy desire with good things,

6 Jehovah executeth righteous acts,

7 He made known his ways unto Moses,

8 Jehovah is merciful and gracious,

9 He will not always chide;

10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins,

11 For as the heavens are high above the earth,

12 As far as the east is from the west,

13 Like as a father pitieth his children,

14 For he knoweth our frame;

V1 Bless The LORD
V8 GOD’s mercy and grace

15 As for man, his days are as grass;

16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone;

17 But the lovingkindness of Jehovah is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him,

18 To such as keep his covenant,

19 Jehovah hath established his throne in the heavens;

20 Bless Jehovah, ye his angels,

21 Bless Jehovah, all ye his hosts,

22 Bless Jehovah, all ye his works,

1 Bless Jehovah, O my soul.

2 Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment;

3 Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters;

4 Who maketh winds his messengers;

5 Who laid the foundations of the earth,

6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a vesture;

7 At thy rebuke they fled;

8 (The mountains rose, the valleys sank down)

9 Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over;

10 He sendeth forth springs into the valleys;

11 They give drink to every beast of the field;

12 By them the birds of the heavens have their habitation;

13 He watereth the mountains from his chambers:

14 He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle,

15 And wine that maketh glad the heart of man,

16 The trees of Jehovah are filled with moisture,

17 Where the birds make their nests:

18 The high mountains are for the wild goats;

19 He appointed the moon for seasons:

20 Thou makest darkness, and it is night,

21 The young lions roar after their prey,

22 The sun ariseth, they get them away,

23 Man goeth forth unto his work

24 O Jehovah, how manifold are thy works!

25 Yonder is the sea, great and wide,

26 There go the ships;

27 These wait all for thee,

28 Thou givest unto them, they gather;

29 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled;

30 Thou sendest forth thy Spirit, they are created;

31 Let the glory of Jehovah endure for ever;

32 Who looketh on the earth, and it trembleth;

33 I will sing unto Jehovah as long as I live:

34 Let my meditation be sweet unto him:

35 Let sinners be consumed out of the earth.

1 Oh give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name;

2 Sing unto him, sing praises unto him;

3 Glory ye in his holy name:

4 Seek ye Jehovah and his strength;

5 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done,

6 O ye seed of Abraham his servant,

7 He is Jehovah our God:

V1 Remembering, Seek the LORD, Let our hearts Rejoice, Glory in His Holy Name, Talking about Jesus, Calling on the name of Jesus, Give thanks, Make Known His Deeds

8 He hath remembered his covenant for ever,

9 The covenant which he made with Abraham,

10 And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a statute,

11 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan,

12 When they were but a few men in number,

13 And they went about from nation to nation,

14 He suffered no man to do them wrong;

15 Saying, Touch not mine anointed ones,

16 And he called for a famine upon the land;

17 He sent a man before them;

18 His feet they hurt with fetters:

19 Until the time that his word came to pass,

20 The king sent and loosed him;

21 He made him lord of his house,

22 To bind his princes at his pleasure,

V17 Testing of the Word of God

23 Israel also came into Egypt;

24 And he increased his people greatly,

25 He turned their heart to hate his people,

26 He sent Moses his servant,

27 They set among them his signs,

28 He sent darkness, and made it dark;

29 He turned their waters into blood,

30 Their land swarmed with frogs

31 He spake, and there came swarms of flies,

32 He gave them hail for rain,

33 He smote their vines also and their fig-trees,

34 He spake, and the locust came,

35 And did eat up every herb in their land,

36 He smote also all the first-born in their land,

37 And he brought them forth with silver and gold;

38 Egypt was glad when they departed;

39 He spread a cloud for a covering,

40 They asked, and he brought quails,

41 He opened the rock, and waters gushed out;

42 For he remembered his holy word,

43 And he brought forth his people with joy,

44 And he gave them the lands of the nations;

45 That they might keep his statutes,

1 Praise ye Jehovah.

2 Who can utter the mighty acts of Jehovah,

3 Blessed are they that keep justice,

4 Remember me, O Jehovah, with the favor that thou bearest unto thy people;

5 That I may see the prosperity of thy chosen,

6 We have sinned with our fathers,

7 Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt;

8 Nevertheless he saved them for his name’sake,

9 He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up:

10 And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them,

11 And the waters covered their adversaries;

12 Then believed they his words;

13 They soon forgat his works;

14 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness,

15 And he gave them their request,

16 They envied Moses also in the camp,

17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan,

18 And a fire was kindled in their company;

19 They made a calf in Horeb,

20 Thus they changed their glory

21 They forgat God their Saviour,

22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham,

23 Therefore he said that he would destroy them,

24 Yea, they despised the pleasant land,

25 But murmured in their tents,

26 Therefore he sware unto them,

27 And that he would overthrow their seed among the nations,

28 They joined themselves also unto Baal-peor,

29 Thus they provoked him to anger with their doings;

30 Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment;

31 And that was reckoned unto him for righteousness,

32 They angered him also at the waters of Meribah,

33 Because they were rebellious against his spirit,

34 They did not destroy the peoples,

35 But mingled themselves with the nations,

36 And served their idols,

37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto demons,

38 And shed innocent blood,

39 Thus were they defiled with their works,

40 Therefore was the wrath of Jehovah kindled against his people,

41 And he gave them into the hand of the nations;

42 Their enemies also oppressed them,

43 Many times did he deliver them;

44 Nevertheless he regarded their distress,

45 And he remembered for them his covenant,

46 He made them also to be pitied

47 Save us, O Jehovah our God,

48 Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel,

1 Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good;

2 Let the redeemed of Jehovah say so,

3 And gathered out of the lands,

V1 Then They Cried Out To The LORD In Their Trouble

4 They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way;

5 Hungry and thirsty,

6 Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble,

7 He led them also by a straight way,

8 Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness,

9 For he satisfieth the longing soul,

10 Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death,

11 Because they rebelled against the words of God,

12 Therefore he brought down their heart with labor;

13 Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble,

14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death,

15 Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness,

16 For he hath broken the gates of brass,

17 Fools because of their transgression,

18 Their soul abhorreth all manner of food;

19 Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble,

20 He sendeth his word, and healeth them,

21 Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness,

22 And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving,

23 They that go down to the sea in ships,

24 These see the works of Jehovah,

25 For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind,

26 They mount up to the heavens, they go down again to the depths:

27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man,

28 Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble,

29 He maketh the storm a calm,

30 Then are they glad because they are quiet;

31 Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness,

32 Let them exalt him also in the assembly of the people,

33 He turneth rivers into a wilderness,

34 A fruitful land into a salt desert,

35 He turneth a wilderness into a pool of water,

36 And there he maketh the hungry to dwell,

37 And sow fields, and plant vineyards,

38 He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly;

39 Again, they are diminished and bowed down

40 He poureth contempt upon princes,

41 Yet setteth he the needy on high from affliction,

42 The upright shall see it, and be glad;

43 Whoso is wise will give heed to these things;
