| 26:8 |
Lord, I love the house where Youyou dwell, the place where Youryour glory resides. |

I have asked one thing from the Lord; it is what I desire: to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, gazing on the beauty of the Lord and seeking Himhim in Hishis temple. |
| 27:5 |
For Hehe will conceal me in Hishis shelter in the day of adversity; Hehe will hide me under the cover of Hishis tent; Hehe will set me high on a rock. |
| 27:6 |
Then my head will be high above my enemies around me; I will offer sacrifices in Hishis tent with shouts of joy. I will sing and make music to the Lord. |
| 27:7 |
Lord, hear my voice when I call; be gracious to me and answer me. |

Listen to the sound of my pleading when I cry to Youyou for help, when I lift up my hands toward Youryour holy sanctuary. |
| 28:4 |
Repay them according to what they have done — according to the evil of their deeds. Repay them according to the work of their hands; give them back what they deserve. |
| 28:5 |
Because they do not consider what the Lord has done or the work of Hishis hands, Hehe will tear them down and not rebuild them. |
| 28:6 |

Lord, I called to Youyou; I sought favor from my Lord: |

“What gain is there in my death, if I go down to the Pit? Will the dust praise Youyou? Will it proclaim Youryour truth? |

| 36:2 |
forFor inwith his ownflattering eyesopinion heof flatters himself, toohe muchdoes tonot discover and hate his sininiquity. |
| 36:3 |
The words offrom his mouth are malicious and deceptive; he has stopped acting wisely and doing good. |
| 36:4 |
Even on his bed he makes malicious plans. He sets himself on a path that is not good, and he does not reject evil. |
| 36:5 |
Lord, Youryour faithful love reaches to heaven, Youryour faithfulness to the clouds. |
| 36:6 |
Your righteousness is like the highest mountains;, Youryour judgments, like the deepest sea. Lord, Youyou preserve manpeople and beastanimals. |

| 37:5 |
Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Himhim, and Hehe will act, |
| 37:7 |
Be silent before the Lord and wait expectantly for Himhim; do not be agitated by one who prospers in his way, by the manperson who carries out evil plans. |
| 37:8 |
Refrain from anger and give up your rage; do not be agitated — it can only bring harm. |
| 37:13 |
The Lord laughs at him because Hehe sees that his day is coming. |
| 37:14 |
The wicked have drawn the sword and strung the bow to bring down the afflictedpoor and needy and to slaughter those whose way is upright. |
| 37:16 |
The little that the righteous manperson has is better than the abundance of many wicked people. |
| 37:20 |
But the wicked will perish; the Lord’s enemies, like the glory of the pastures, will fade away — they will fade away like smoke. |
| 37:21 |
The wicked manperson borrows and does not repay, but the righteous one is gracious and giving. |

The wicked one lies in wait for the righteous and seeksintends to kill him; |
| 37:34 |
Wait for the Lord and keep Hishis way, and Hehe will exalt you to inherit the land. You will watch when the wicked are destroyed. |
| 37:35 |
I have seen a wicked, violent manperson well-rooted, like a flourishing native tree. |
| 37:37 |
Watch the blameless and observe the upright, for the manperson of peace will have a future. |
| 37:40 |
The Lord helps and delivers them; Hehe will deliver them from the wicked and will save them because they take refuge in Himhim. |
| 38:1 |
Lord, do not punish me in Youryour anger or discipline me in Youryour wrath. |
| 38:2 |
For Youryour arrows have sunk into me, and Youryour hand has pressed down on me. |
| 38:3 |
There is no healthsoundness in my body because of Youryour indignation; there is no strengthhealth in my bones because of my sin. |
| 38:4 |
For my sinsiniquities have flooded over my head; they are a burden too heavy for me to bear. |
| 38:6 |
I am bent over and brought very low; all day long I go around in mourning. |
| 38:7 |
For my loinsinsides are full of burning pain, and there is no healthsoundness in my body. |
| 38:9 |
Lord, my every desire is knownin tofront Youof you; my sighing is not hidden from Youyou. |
| 38:12 |
Those who seekintend myto lifekill me set traps, and those who want to harm me threaten to destroy me; they plot treachery all day long. |
| 38:15 |
For I put my hope in Youyou, Lord; Youyou will answer me, my Lord, my God. |
| 38:16 |
For I said, “Don’t let them rejoice over me — those who are arrogant toward me when I stumble.” |
| 38:18 |
So I confess my guiltiniquity; I am anxious because of my sin. |
| 38:21 |
Lord, do not abandon me; my God, do not be far from me. |
| 38:22 |
Hurry to help me, my Lord, my Saviorsalvation. |
| 39:4 |

| 39:13 |
Turn Youryour angry gaze from me so that I may be cheered up before I die and am gone.” |
| 40:1 |
I waited patiently for the Lord, and Hehe turned to me and heard my cry for help. |
| 40:3 |
He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and putthey theirwill trust in the Lord. |
| 40:4 |
How happy is theanyone man who has put his trust in the Lord and has not turned to the proud or to those who run after lies! |
| 40:5 |
Lord my God, Youyou have done many things — Youryour wonderfulwondrous works and Youryour plans for us; none can compare with Youyou. If I were to report and speak of them, they are more than can be told. |
| 40:6 |
You do not delight in sacrifice and offering; Youyou open my ears to listen. You do not ask for a whole burnt offering or a sin offering. |
| 40:7 |
Then I said, “See, I have come; in the scroll it is written about me. in the volume of the scroll. |
| 40:8 |
I delight to do Youryour will, my God;, Yourand your instruction livesis deep within me.” |
| 40:9 |

| 40:11 |
Lord, you do not withhold Youryour compassion from me;. Your constant love and truth will always guard me. |
| 40:12 |

Lord, be pleased to deliverrescue me; hurry to help me, Lord. |
| 40:14 |
Let those who seekintend to take my life be disgraced and confounded. Let those who wish me harm be driventurned back and humiliated. |

| 41:3 |
The Lord will sustain him on his sickbed; Youyou will heal him on the bed where he lies. |

because zeal for Youryour house has consumed me, and the insults of those who insult Youyou have fallen on me. |
| 69:13 |
But as for me, Lord, my prayer to Youyou is for a time of favor. In Youryour abundant, faithful love, God, answer me with Youryour sure salvation. |
| 69:14 |
Rescue me from the miry mud; don’t let me sink. Let me be rescued from those who hate me and from the deep waterswater. |
| 69:16 |
Answer me, Lord, for Youryour faithful love is good;. inIn keeping with Youryour greatabundant compassion, turn to me. |
| 69:17 |
Don’t hide Youryour face from Youryour servant, for I am in distress. Answer me quickly! |
| 69:18 |
DrawCome near to me and redeem me; ransom me because of my enemies. |
| 69:19 |
You know the insults I endure — my shame and disgrace. You are aware of all my adversaries. |
| 69:23 |
Let their eyes grow too dim to see, and let their loinships continually shakequake. |
| 69:24 |
Pour out Youryour rage on them, and let Youryour burning anger overtake them. |
| 69:26 |
For they persecute the one Youyou struck and talk about the pain of those Youyou wounded. |
| 69:27 |
AddCharge guiltthem towith theircrime guilton top of crime; do not let them share in Youryour righteousness. |
| 69:29 |
But as for me — poor and in pain — let Youryour salvation protect me, God. |
| 69:30 |
I will praise God’s name with song and exalt Himhim with thanksgiving. |
| 69:31 |
That will please Yahwehthe Lord more than an ox, more than a bull with horns and hooves. |
| 69:33 |
For the Lord listens to the needy and does not despise Hishis own who are prisoners. |
| 69:34 |
Let heaven and earth praise Himhim, the seas and everything that moves in them, |
| 69:36 |
The descendants of Hishis servants will inherit it, and those who love Hishis name will live in it. |
| 70:1 |
God, deliverhurry to rescue me. HurryLord, hurry to help me,! Lord! |
| 70:2 |
Let those who seek myto lifekill me be disgraced and confounded; let those who wish me harm be driventurned back and humiliated. |
| 70:4 |
Let all who seek Youyou rejoice and be glad in Youyou; let those who love Youryour salvation continually say, “God is great!” |
| 70:5 |
I am afflictedoppressed and needy; hurry to me, God. You are my help and my deliverer; Lord, do not delay. |
| 71:1 |
Lord, I seek refuge in Youyou; let me never be disgraced. |
| 71:2 |
In Youryour justice, rescue and deliver me; listen closely to me and save me. |
| 71:3 |
Be a rock of refuge for me, where I can always go. Give the command to save me, for Youyou are my rock and fortress. |
| 71:5 |
For Youyou are my hope, Lord God, my confidence from my youth. |
| 71:6 |
I have leaned on Youyou from birth; Youyou took me from my mother’s womb. My praise is always about Youyou. |
| 71:7 |
I haveam becomelike ana ominousmiraculous sign to many, butand Youyou are my strong refuge. |
| 71:8 |
My mouth is full of praise and honor to Youyou all day long. |
| 71:9 |
Don’t discard me in my old age;. asAs my strength fails, do not abandon me. |
| 71:13 |
May my adversaries be disgraced and destroyed; may those who seekintend myto harm me be covered with disgrace and humiliation. |
| 71:14 |
But I will hope continually and will praise Youyou more and more. |
| 71:15 |
My mouth will tell about Youryour righteousness and Youryour salvation all day long, though I cannot sum them up. |
| 71:16 |
I come because of the mighty acts of the Lord God; I will proclaim Youryour righteousness, Yoursyours alone. |
| 71:17 |
God, Youyou have taught me from my youth, and I still proclaim Youryour wonderfulwondrous works. |
| 71:18 |
Even whenwhile I am old and gray, God, do not abandon me., Thenwhile I will proclaim Youryour power to another generation, Youryour strength to all who are to come. |
| 71:19 |
Your righteousness reaches heaventhe heights, God, Youyou who have done great things; God, who is like Youyou? |
| 71:20 |
You caused me to experience many troubles and misfortunes, but Youyou will revive me again. You will bring me up again, even from the depths of the earth. |
| 71:22 |
Therefore, I will praise Youyou with a harp for Youryour faithfulness, my God; I will sing to Youyou with a lyre, Holy One of Israel. |
| 71:23 |
My lips will shout for joy when I sing praise to Youyou because Youyou have redeemed me. |
| 71:24 |
Therefore, my tongue will proclaim Youryour righteousness all day long, for those who seekintend myto harm me will be disgraced and confounded. |
| 72:1 |
God, give Youryour justice to the king and Youryour righteousness to the king’s son. |
| 72:2 |
He will judge Youryour people with righteousness and Youryour afflicted ones with justice. |
| 72:3 |
May the mountains bring prosperitywell-being to the people and the hills, righteousness. |
| 72:5 |
May hethey continuefear you while the sun endures and as long as the moon, throughout all generations. |
| 72:6 |
May hethe king be like rain that falls on the cut grass, like spring showers that water the earth. |
| 72:7 |
May the righteous flourish in his days and prosperitywell-being abound until the moon is no more. |
| 72:11 |
Let all kings bow downin homage to him, all nations serve him. |
| 72:18 |
MayBlessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, who alone does wonders,. be praised. |
| 72:19 |
MayBlessed Hisbe his glorious name be praised forever; the whole earth is filled with Hishis glory. Amen and amen. |
| 73:10 |
Therefore Hishis people turn to them and drink in their overflowing words. |
| 73:12 |
Look at them — the wicked! They are always at ease, and they increase their wealth. |
| 73:15 |
If I had decided to say these things aloud, I would have betrayed Youryour people. |
| 73:18 |
Indeed, Youyou put them in slippery places; Youyou make them fall into ruin. |
| 73:20 |
Like one waking from a dream, Lord, when arising, Youyou will despise their image. |
| 73:22 |
I was stupid and didn’t understand; I was an unthinking animal toward Youyou. |
| 73:23 |
Yet I am always with Youyou; Youyou hold my right hand. |
| 73:24 |
You guide me with Youryour counsel, and afterward Youyou will take me up in glory. |
| 73:25 |
Who do I have in heaven but Youyou? And I desire nothing on earth but Youyou. |
| 73:27 |
Those far from Youyou will certainly perish; Youyou destroy all who are unfaithful to Youyou. |
| 73:28 |
But as for me, God’s presence is my good. I have made the Lord God my refuge, so I can tell about all Youyou do. |
| 74:1 |
Why have Youyou rejected us forever, God? Why does Youryour anger burn against the sheep of Youryour pasture? |
| 74:2 |
Remember Youryour congregation, which Youyou purchased long ago and redeemed as the tribe for Youryour own possession. Remember Mount Zion where Youyou dwell. |
| 74:3 |
Make Youryour way to the everlastingperpetual ruins, to all that the enemy has destroyed in the sanctuary. |
| 74:4 |
Your adversaries roared in the meeting place where Youyou met with us. They set up their emblems as signs. |
| 74:7 |
They set Youryour sanctuary on fire; they utterly desecrated the dwelling place of Youryour name. |
| 74:8 |
They said in their hearts, “Let’s us oppress them relentlessly.” They burned down every place throughout the land where God met with us. |
| 74:10 |
God, how long will the enemy mock? Will the foe insult Youryour name forever? |
| 74:11 |
Why do Youyou hold back Youryour hand? Stretch out Youryour right hand and destroy them! |
| 74:13 |
You divided the sea with Youryour strength; Youyou smashed the heads of the sea monsters in the waterswater; |
| 74:14 |
Youyou crushed the heads of Leviathan; Youyou fed him to the creatures of the desert. |
| 74:15 |
You opened up springs and streams; Youyou dried up ever-flowing rivers. |
| 74:16 |
The day is Yoursyours, also the night; Youyou established the moon and the sun. |
| 74:17 |
You set all the boundaries of the earth; Youyou made summer and winter. |
| 74:18 |
Remember this: the enemy has mocked Yahwehthe Lord, and a foolish people has insulted Youryour name. |
| 74:19 |
Do not give to beasts the life of Youryour dove to beasts; do not forget the lives of Youryour poor people forever. |
| 74:21 |
Do not let the oppressed turn away in shame; let the poor and needy praise Youryour name. |
| 74:22 |
Rise up, God, defendchampion Youryour cause! Remember the insults that fools bring against Youyou all day long. |
| 74:23 |
Do not forget the clamor of Youryour adversaries, the tumult of Youryour opponents that goes up constantly. |
| 75:1 |
We give thanks to Youyou, God; we give thanks to Youyou, for Youryour name is near. People tell about Youryour wonderfulwondrous works. |
| 75:3 |
When the earth and all its inhabitants shake, I am the Oneone who steadies its pillars.Selah |
| 75:8 |
For there is a cup in the Lord’s hand, full of wine blended with spices, and Hehe pours from it. All the wicked of the earth will drink, draining it to the dregs. |
| 75:9 |
As for me, I will tell about Himhim forever; I will sing praise to the God of Jacob. |
| 76:1 |
God is known in Judah; Hishis name is great in Israel. |
| 76:2 |
His tent is in Salem, Hishis dwelling place in Zion. |
| 76:3 |
There Hehe shatters the bow’s flaming arrows, the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war.Selah |
| 76:6 |
At Youryour rebuke, God of Jacob, both chariot and horse lay still. |
| 76:7 |
And Youyou —You you are to be feared. When Youyou are angry, who can stand before Youyou? |
| 76:8 |
From heaven Youyou pronounced judgment. The earth feared and grew quiet |
| 76:10 |
Even human wrath will praise Youyou; Youyou will clothe Yourselfyourself with theirthe remainingwrath wraththat remains. |
| 76:11 |
Make and keep your vows to the Lord your God; let all who are around Himhim bring tribute to the awe-inspiring Oneone. |
| 76:12 |
He humbles the spirit of leaders; Hehe is feared by the kings of the earth. |
| 77:1 |
I cry aloud to God, aloud to God, and Hehe will hear me. |
| 77:8 |
Has Hishis faithful love ceased forever? Is Hishis promise at an end for all generations? |
| 77:9 |
Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has Hehe in anger withheld Hishis compassion?” Selah |
| 77:11 |
I will remember the Lord’s works; yes, I will remember Youryour ancient wonders. |
| 77:12 |
I will reflect on all Youyou have done and meditate on Youryour actions. |
| 77:13 |
God, Youryour way is holy. What god is great like God? |
| 77:14 |
You are the God who works wonders; Youyou revealed Youryour strength among the peoples. |
| 77:15 |
With power Youyou redeemed Youryour people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph.Selah |
| 77:16 |
The waterswater saw Youyou, God. The waterswater saw Youyou; theyit trembled. Even the depths shook. |
| 77:17 |
The clouds poured down water. The storm clouds thundered; Youryour arrows flashed back and forth. |
| 77:18 |
The sound of Youryour thunder was in the whirlwind; lightning lit up the world. The earth shook and quaked. |
| 77:19 |
Your way went through the sea and Youryour path through the greatvast waterswater, but Youryour footprints were unseen. |
| 77:20 |
You led Youryour people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron. |
| 78:1 |
My people, hear my instruction; listen to whatthe Iwords sayfrom my mouth. |
| 78:2 |
I will declare wise sayings; I will speak mysteries from the past — |
| 78:3 |
things we have heard and known and that our fathersancestors have passed down to us. |
| 78:4 |
We mustwill not hide them from their children, but mustwill tell a future generation the praisespraiseworthy acts of the Lord, Hishis might, and the wonderfulwondrous works Hehe has performed. |
| 78:5 |
He established a testimony in Jacob and set up a law in Israel, which Hehe commanded our fathersancestors to teach to their children |
| 78:6 |
so that a future generation — children yet to be born — might know. They were to rise and tell their children |
| 78:7 |
so that they might put their confidence in God and not forget God’s works, but keep Hishis commands. |
| 78:8 |
Then they would not be like their fathersancestors, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation whose heart was not loyal and whose spirit was not faithful to God. |
| 78:10 |
They did not keep God’s covenant and refused to live by Hishis law. |
| 78:11 |
They forgot what Hehe had done, the wonderfulwondrous works Hehe had shown them. |
| 78:12 |
He worked wonders in the sight of their fathersancestors in the land of Egypt, the regionterritory of Zoan. |
| 78:17 |
But they continued to sin against Himhim, rebelling in the desert against the Most High. |
| 78:20 |
Look! He struck the rock and water gushed out; torrents overflowed. But can Hehe also provide bread or furnish meat for Hishis people?” |
| 78:22 |
because they did not believe God or rely on Hishis salvation. |
| 78:24 |
He rained manna for them to eat; Hehe gave them grain from heaven. |
| 78:26 |
He made the east wind blow in the skies and drove the south wind by Hishis might. |
| 78:28 |
He made them fall in Histhe camp, all around Histhe tenttents. |
| 78:29 |
TheyThe people ate and were completely satisfied, for Hehe gave them what they craved. |
| 78:30 |
Before they had satisfiedturned theirfrom desirewhat they craved, while the food was still in their mouths, |
| 78:31 |
God’s anger flared up against them, and Hehe killed some of their best men. He struck down Israel’s choicefit young men. |
| 78:32 |
Despite all this, they kept sinning and did not believe Hishis wonderfulwondrous works. |
| 78:34 |
When Hehe killed some of them, the rest began to seek Himhim; they repented and searched for God. |
| 78:36 |
But they deceived Himhim with their mouths, they lied to Himhim with their tongues, |
| 78:37 |
their hearts were insincere toward Himhim, and they were unfaithful to Hishis covenant. |
| 78:38 |
Yet Hehe was compassionate; Hehe atoned for their guiltiniquity and did not destroy them. He often turned Hishis anger aside and did not unleash all Hishis wrath. |
| 78:40 |
How often they rebelled against Himhim in the wilderness and grieved Himhim in the desert. |
| 78:42 |
They did not remember Hishis power shown on the day Hehe redeemed them from the foe, |
| 78:43 |
when Hehe performed Hishis miraculous signs in Egypt and Hishis wonders in the regionterritory of Zoan. |
| 78:49 |
He sent Hishis burning anger against them: fury, indignation, and calamity — a band of deadly messengers. |
| 78:50 |
He cleared a path for Hishis anger. He did not spare them from death but delivered their lives to the plague. |
| 78:52 |
He led Hishis people out like sheep and guided them like a flock in the wilderness. |
| 78:54 |
He brought them to Hishis holy landterritory, to the mountain Hishis right hand acquired. |
| 78:56 |
But they rebelliously tested the Most High God, for they did not keep Hishis decrees. |
| 78:57 |
They treacherously turned away like their fathersancestors; they became warped like a faulty bow. |
| 78:58 |
They enraged Himhim with their high places and provoked Hishis jealousy with their carved images. |
| 78:59 |
God heard and became furious; Hehe completely rejected Israel. |
| 78:60 |
He abandoned the tabernacle at Shiloh, the tent where Hehe resided among menmankind. |
| 78:61 |
He gave up Hishis strength to captivity and Hishis splendor to the hand of a foe. |
| 78:62 |
He surrendered Hishis people to the sword because Hehe was enraged with Hishis heritage. |
| 78:63 |
Fire consumed Hishis chosen young men, and Hishis young women had no wedding songs. |
| 78:64 |
His priests fell by the sword, butand the widows could not lament. |
| 78:65 |
ThenThe the Lord awoke as if from sleep, like a warrior from the effects of wine. |
| 78:66 |
He beat back Hishis foes; Hehe gave them lasting shamedisgrace. |
| 78:68 |
He chose instead the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion, which Hehe loved. |
| 78:69 |
He built Hishis sanctuary like the heights, like the earth that Hehe established forever. |
| 78:70 |
He chose David Hishis servant and took him from the sheepfoldssheep pens; |
| 78:71 |
Hehe brought him from tending ewes to be shepherd over Hishis people Jacob — over Israel, Hishis inheritance. |
| 79:1 |
God, the nations have invaded Youryour inheritance, desecrated Youryour holy temple, and turned Jerusalem into ruins. |
| 79:2 |
They gave the corpses of Youryour servants to the birds of the sky for food, the flesh of Youryour godlyfaithful ones to the beasts of the earth. |
| 79:5 |
How long, YahwehLord? Will Youyou be angry forever? Will Youryour jealousy keep burning like fire? |
| 79:6 |
Pour out Youryour wrath on the nations that don’t acknowledge Youyou, on the kingdoms that don’t call on Youryour name, |
| 79:8 |
Do not hold past sinsiniquities against us; let Youryour compassion come to us quickly, for we have become very weak. |
| 79:9 |
God of our salvation, help us—, for the glory of Youryour name. DeliverRescue us and atone for our sins, becausefor ofyour Yourname’s namesake. |
| 79:10 |
Why should the nations ask, “Where is their God?” Before our eyes, let vengeance for the shed blood of Youryour servants be known among the nations. |
| 79:11 |
Let the groans of the prisoners reach Youyou; according to Youryour great power, preserve those condemned to die. |
| 79:12 |
Pay back sevenfold to our neighbors the reproach they have hurled at Youyou, Lord. |
| 79:13 |
Then we, Youryour people, the sheep of Youryour pasture, will thank Youyou forever; we will declare Youryour praise to generation after generation. |
| 80:1 |
Listen, Shepherd of Israel, who leads Joseph like a flock; Youyou who sit enthroned onbetween the cherubim, riseshine up |
| 80:2 |
beforeon Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh. Rally Youryour power and come to save us. |
| 80:3 |
Restore us, God; lookmake your face shine on us, withso favor,that and we willmay be saved. |
| 80:4 |
Lord God of HostsArmies, how long will Youyou be angry with Youryour people’s prayers? |
| 80:6 |
You makeput us quarrelat odds with our neighbors; our enemies makemock fun of us. |
| 80:7 |
Restore us, God of HostsArmies; lookmake your face shine on us, withso favor,that and we willmay be saved. |
| 80:8 |
You uprooteddug up a vine from Egypt; Youyou drove out the nations and planted it. |
| 80:12 |
Why have Youyou broken down its walls so that all who pass by pick its fruit? |
| 80:13 |
TheBoars boar from the forest tearstear at it and creatures of the field feed on it. |
| 80:14 |
Return, God of HostsArmies. Look down from heaven and see; take care of this vine, |
| 80:15 |
the root Youryour right hand has planted, the shootson that Youyou made strong for Yourselfyourself. |
| 80:16 |
It was cut down and burned up; they perish at the rebuke of Youryour countenance. |
| 80:17 |
Let Youryour hand be with the man at Youryour right hand, with the son of man Youyou have made strong for Yourselfyourself. |
| 80:18 |
Then we will not turn away from Youyou; revive us, and we will call on Youryour name. |
| 80:19 |
Restore us, YahwehLord, the God of HostsArmies; lookmake your face shine on us, withso favor,that and we willmay be saved. |
| 81:2 |
Lift up a song — play the tambourine, the melodious lyre, and the harp. |
| 81:3 |
Blow the ram’s horn on the day of our feasts during the new moon and during the full moon. |
| 81:4 |
For this is a statute for Israel, aan judgmentordinance of the God of Jacob. |
| 81:5 |
He set it up as ana ordinancedecree for Joseph when Hehe went throughout the land of Egypt. I heard an unfamiliar language: |
| 81:7 |
You called out in distress, and I rescued you; I answered you from the thundercloud. I tested you at the watersWaters of Meribah.Selah |
| 81:8 |
Listen, Mymy people, and I will admonish you. Israel, if you would only listen to Meme! |
| 81:10 |
I am Yahwehthe Lord your God, who brought you up from the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it. |
| 81:11 |
“But Mymy people did not listen to Memy voice; Israel did not obey Meme. |
| 81:13 |
If only Mymy people would listen to Meme and Israel would follow Mymy ways, |
| 81:14 |
I would quickly subdue their enemies and turn Mymy hand against their foes.” |
| 81:15 |
Those who hate the Lord would pretendcower submission to Himhim; their doom would last forever. |
| 81:16 |
But Hehe would feed Israel with the best wheat. “I would satisfy you with honey from the rock.” |
| 82:1 |
God hasstands taken His place in the divine assembly; Hehe judgespronounces judgment among the gods: |
| 82:7 |
However, you will die like menhumans and fall like any other ruler.” |
| 82:8 |
Rise up, God, judge the earth, for all the nations belong to Youyou. |
| 83:1 |
God, do not keep silent. Do not be deaf, God; do not be idlequiet. |
| 83:2 |
See how Youryour enemies make an uproar; those who hate Youyou have acted arrogantly. |
| 83:3 |
They devise clever schemes against Youryour people; they conspire against Youryour treasured ones. |
| 83:4 |
They say, “Come, let’s us wipe them out as a nation so that Israel’s name will no longer be remembered.” |
| 83:5 |
For they have conspired with one mind; they form an alliance against Youyou — |
| 83:9 |
Deal with them as Youyou did with Midian, as Youyou did with Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River. |
| 83:12 |
who said, “Let’s us seize God’s pastures for ourselves.” |
| 83:15 |
so pursue them with Youryour tempest and terrify them with Youryour storm. |
| 83:16 |
Cover their faces with shame so that they will seek Youryour name, YahwehLord. |
| 83:18 |
May they know that Youyou alone — whose name is Yahwehthe Lord — are the Most High over all the whole earth. |
| 84:1 |
How lovely is Youryour dwelling place, Lord of HostsArmies. |
| 84:3 |
Even a sparrow finds a home, and a swallow, a nest for herself where she places her young — near Youryour altars, Lord of HostsArmies, my King and my God. |
| 84:4 |
How happy are those who reside in Youryour house, who praise Youyou continually.Selah |
| 84:5 |
Happy are the people whose strength is in Youyou, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage. |
| 84:6 |
As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a source of springwaterspring water; even the autumn rain will cover it with blessings. |
| 84:8 |
Lord God of HostsArmies, hear my prayer; listen, God of Jacob.Selah |
| 84:9 |
Consider our shield, God; look on the face of Youryour anointed one. |
| 84:10 |
Better a day in Youryour courts than a thousand anywhere else. I would rather bestand at the doorthreshold of the house of my God than to live in the tents of wicked people. |
| 84:11 |
For the Lord God is a sun and shield. The Lord givesgrants gracefavor and gloryhonor; Hehe does not withhold the good from those who live with integrity. |
| 84:12 |
Happy is the person who trusts in Youyou, Lord of HostsArmies! |
| 85:1 |
Lord, Youyou showed favor to Youryour land; Youyou restored the fortunes of Jacob’s. prosperity. |
| 85:2 |
You tookforgave awayyour Your people’s guilt; Youyou covered all their sin.Selah |
| 85:3 |
You withdrew all Youryour fury; Youyou turned from Youryour burning anger. |
| 85:4 |
Return to us, God of our salvation, and abandon Youryour displeasure with us. |
| 85:5 |
Will Youyou be angry with us forever? Will Youyou prolong Youryour anger for all generations? |
| 85:6 |
Will Youyou not revive us again so that Youryour people may rejoice in Youyou? |
| 85:7 |
Show us Youryour faithful love, Lord, and give us Youryour salvation. |
| 85:8 |
I will listen to what God will say; surely the Lord will declare peace to Hishis people, Hishis godlyfaithful ones, and not let them go back to foolish ways. |
| 85:9 |
His salvation is very near those who fear Himhim, so that glory may dwell in our land. |
| 85:13 |
Righteousness will go before Himhim to prepare the way for Hishis steps. |
| 86:2 |
Protect my life, for I am faithful. You are my God; save Youryour servant who trusts in Youyou. |
| 86:3 |
Be gracious to me, Lord, for I call to Youyou all day long. |
| 86:4 |
Bring joy to Youryour servant’s life, because I turnappeal to Youyou, Lord. |
| 86:5 |
For Youyou, Lord, are kind and ready to forgive, richabounding in faithful love to all who call on Youyou. |
| 86:6 |
Lord, hear my prayer; listen to my pleacries for mercy. |
| 86:7 |
I call on Youyou in the day of my distress, for Youyou will answer me. |
| 86:8 |
Lord, there is no one like Youyou among the gods, and there are no works like Yoursyours. |
| 86:9 |
All the nations Youyou have made will come and bow down before Youyou, Lord, and will honor Youryour name. |
| 86:10 |
For Youyou are great and perform wonders; Youyou alone are God. |
| 86:11 |
Teach me Youryour way, YahwehLord, and I will live by Youryour truth. Give me an undivided mind to fear Youryour name. |
| 86:12 |
I will praise Youyou with all my heart, Lord my God, and will honor Youryour name forever. |
| 86:13 |
For Youryour faithful love for me is great, and Youyou deliverrescue my life from the depths of Sheol. |
| 86:14 |
God, arrogant people have attacked me; a gang of ruthless men seeksintends myto lifekill me. They havedo nonot regardlet foryou Youguide them. |
| 86:15 |

Hehe allowed no one to oppress them; Hehe rebuked kings on their behalf: |
| 105:15 |
“Do not touch Mymy anointed ones, or harm Mymy prophets.” |
| 105:17 |
He had sent a man ahead of them — Joseph, who was sold as a slave. |
| 105:21 |
He made him master of his household, ruler over all his possessions — |
| 105:23 |
Then Israel went to Egypt; Jacob lived as aan foreigneralien in the land of Ham. |
| 105:24 |
The Lord made Hishis people very fruitful; Hehe made them more numerous than their foes, |
| 105:25 |
whose hearts Hehe turned to hate Hishis people and to deal deceptively with Hishis servants. |
| 105:26 |
He sent Moses Hishis servant, and Aaron, whom Hehe had chosen. |
| 105:27 |
They performed Hishis miraculous signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham. |
| 105:28 |
He sent darkness, and it became dark — for did they not defy Hishis commands? |
| 105:31 |
He spoke, and insects came — gnats throughout their country. |
| 105:34 |
He spoke, and locusts came — young locusts without number. |
| 105:37 |
Then Hehe brought Israel out with silver and gold, and no one among Hishis tribes stumbled. |
| 105:40 |
They asked, and Hehe brought quail and satisfied them with bread from heaven. |
| 105:42 |
For Hehe remembered Hishis holy promise to Abraham Hishis servant. |
| 105:43 |
He brought Hishis people out with rejoicing, Hishis chosen ones with shouts of joy. |
| 105:45 |
All this happened so that they might keep Hishis statutes and obey Hishis instructions. Hallelujah! |
| 106:1 |
Hallelujah! Give thanks to the Lord, for Hehe is good; Hishis faithful love endures forever. |
| 106:2 |
Who can declare the Lord’s mighty acts or proclaim all the praise due Himhim? |
| 106:4 |
Remember me, Lord, when Youyou show favor to Youryour people. Come to me with Youryour salvation |
| 106:5 |
so that I may enjoy the prosperity of Youryour chosen ones, rejoice in the joy of Youryour nation, and boast about Youryour heritage. |
| 106:6 |
Both we and our fathersancestors have sinned; we have done wrong and have acted wickedly. |
| 106:7 |
Our fathersancestors in Egypt did not grasp the significance of Youryour wonderfulwondrous works or remember Youryour many acts of faithful love; instead, they rebelled by the sea — the Red Sea. |
| 106:8 |
Yet Hehe saved them becausefor ofhis Hisname’s namesake, to make Hishis power known. |
| 106:9 |
He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; Hehe led them through the depths as through a desert. |
| 106:10 |
He saved them from the handpower of the adversary; Hehe redeemed them from the handpower of the enemy. |
| 106:12 |
Then they believed Hishis promises and sang Hishis praise. |
| 106:13 |
They soon forgot Hishis works and would not wait for Hishis counsel. |
| 106:22 |
wonderfulwondrous works in the land of Ham, awe-inspiring acts at the Red Sea. |
| 106:23 |
So Hehe said Hehe would have destroyed them — if Moses Hishis chosen one had not stood before Himhim in the breach to turn Hishis wrath away from destroying them. |
| 106:24 |
They despised the pleasant land and did not believe Hishis promise. |
| 106:25 |
They grumbled in their tents and did not listen to the Lord’s. voice. |
| 106:26 |
So Hehe raised Hishis hand against them with an oath that Hehe would make them fall in the desert |
| 106:29 |
They provokedangered the Lord with their deeds, and a plague broke out against them. |
| 106:32 |
They angered the Lord at the watersWaters of Meribah, and Moses suffered because of them;, |
| 106:38 |
They shed innocent blood — the blood of their sons and daughters whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; so the land became polluted with blood. |
| 106:40 |
Therefore the Lord’s anger burned against Hishis people, and Hehe abhorred Hishis own inheritance. |
| 106:41 |
He handed them over to the nations; those who hated them ruled over them. |
| 106:43 |
He rescued them many times, but they continued to rebel deliberately and were beaten down by their sininiquity. |
| 106:44 |
When Hehe heard their cry, Hehe took note of their distress, |
| 106:45 |
remembered Hishis covenant with them, and relented according to the richesabundance of Hishis faithful love. |
| 106:47 |
Save us, YahwehLord our God, and gather us from the nations, so that we may give thanks to Youryour holy name and rejoice in Youryour praise. |
| 106:48 |
MayBlessed Yahweh,be the Lord God of Israel, be praised from everlasting to everlasting. Let all the people say, “Amen!” Hallelujah! |
| 107:1 |
Give thanks to the Lord, for Hehe is good; Hishis faithful love endures forever. |
| 107:2 |
Let the redeemed of the Lord proclaim that Hehe has redeemed them from the handpower of the foe |
| 107:3 |
and has gathered them from the lands — from the east and the west, from the north and the south. |
| 107:6 |
Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble; Hehe rescued them from their distress. |
| 107:8 |
Let them give thanks to the Lord for Hishis faithful love and Hishis wonderfulwondrous works for all humanity. |
| 107:9 |
For Hehe has satisfied the thirsty and filled the hungry with good things. |
| 107:10 |
Others sat in darkness and gloom — prisoners in cruel chains — |
| 107:13 |
Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble; Hehe saved them from their distress. |
| 107:15 |
Let them give thanks to the Lord for Hishis faithful love and Hishis wonderfulwondrous works for all humanity. |
| 107:16 |
For Hehe has broken down the bronze gates and cut through the iron bars. |
| 107:17 |
Fools suffered affliction because of their rebellious ways and their sinsiniquities. |
| 107:19 |
Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble; Hehe saved them from their distress. |
| 107:20 |
He sent Hishis word and healed them; Hehe rescued them from thetheir Pittraps. |
| 107:21 |
Let them give thanks to the Lord for Hishis faithful love and Hishis wonderfulwondrous works for all humanity. |
| 107:22 |
Let them offer thanksgiving sacrifices of thanksgiving and announce Hishis works with shouts of joy. |
| 107:23 |
Others went to sea in ships, conducting trade on the vast waterswater. |
| 107:24 |
They saw the Lord’s works, Hishis wonderfulwondrous works in the deep. |
| 107:25 |
He spoke and raised a tempeststormy wind that stirred up the waves of the sea. |
| 107:27 |
they reeled and staggered like drunkena mendrunkard, and all their skill was useless. |
| 107:28 |
Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and Hehe brought them out of their distress. |
| 107:29 |
He stilled the storm to a murmurwhisper, and the waves of the sea were hushed. |
| 107:30 |
They rejoiced when the waves grew quiet. Then Hehe guided them to the harbor they longed for. |
| 107:31 |
Let them give thanks to the Lord for Hishis faithful love and Hishis wonderfulwondrous works for all humanity. |
| 107:32 |
Let them exalt Himhim in the assembly of the people and praise Himhim in the council of the elders. |
| 107:33 |
He turns rivers into desert, springs of water into thirsty ground, |
| 107:35 |
He turns a desert into a pool of water, dry land into springs. of water. |
| 107:38 |
He blesses them, and they multiply greatly; Hehe does not let their livestock decrease. |
| 107:40 |
Hehe pours contempt on nobles and makes them wander in a trackless wasteland. |
| 107:41 |
But Hehe lifts the needy out of their suffering and makes their families multiply like flocks. |
| 108:3 |
I will praise Youyou, Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises to Youyou among the nations. |
| 108:4 |
For Youryour faithful love is higher than the heavens, and Youryour faithfulness reaches to the clouds. |
| 108:5 |
God, be exalted above the heavens, and let Youryour glory be over the whole earth. |
| 108:6 |
Save with Youryour right hand and answer me so that those Youyou love may be rescued. |
| 108:7 |
God has spoken in Hishis sanctuary: “I will triumphcelebrate! I will divide up Shechem. I will apportion the Valley of Succoth. |
| 108:8 |
Gilead is Minemine, Manasseh is Minemine, and Ephraim is Mymy helmet; Judah is Mymy scepter. |
| 108:9 |
Moab is Mymy washbasin; I throw Mymy sandal on Edom. I shout in triumph over Philistia.” |
| 108:11 |
God, haven’t Youyou rejected us? God, Youyou do not march out with our armies. |
| 108:13 |
With God we will perform valiantly; Hehe will trample our foes. |
| 109:14 |
Let the iniquity of his ancestors’fathers guilt be remembered before the Lord, and do not let his mother’s sin be blotted out. |
| 109:15 |
Let their sins always remain before the Lord, and let Himhim eraseremove all memory of them from the earth. |
| 109:16 |
For he did not think to show kindness, but pursued the afflictedsuffering, poorneedy, and brokenhearted in order to put them to death. |
| 109:17 |
He loved cursing — let it fall on him; he took no delight in blessing — let it be far from him. |
| 109:18 |
He wore cursing like his coat — let it enter his body like water and go into his bones like oil. |
| 109:21 |
But Youyou, YahwehLord, my Lord, deal kindly with me becausefor ofyour Yourname’s namesake; deliver me because ofyour thefaithful goodnesslove ofis Yourgood, faithfulrescue loveme. |

Do not let my heart turn to any evil thing or perform wicked acts with men who commit sinevildoers. Do not let me feast on their delicacies. |
| 141:5 |
Let the righteous one strike me — it is an act of faithful love; let him rebuke me — it is oil for my head; let me not refuse it. Even now my prayer is against the evil acts of the wicked. |

But my eyes look to Youyou, Lord, Godmy Lord. I seek refuge in Youyou; do not let me die. |
| 142:2 |
I pour out my complaint before Himhim; I reveal my trouble to Himhim. |

I cry to Youyou, Lord; I say, “You are my shelter, my portion in the land of the living.” |

Lord, hear my prayer. In Youryour faithfulness listen to my plea, and in Youryour righteousness answer me. |
| 143:2 |
Do not bring Youryour servant into judgment, for no one alive is righteous in Youryour sight. |
| 143:5 |
I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Youyou have done; I reflect on the work of Youryour hands. |
| 143:6 |
I spread out my hands to Youyou; I am like parched land before Youyou.Selah |
| 143:7 |
Answer me quickly, Lord; my spirit fails. Don’t hide Youryour face from me, or I will be like those going down to the Pit. |

Reach down from heavenon high; rescue me from deep water, and set me free from the grasp of foreigners |
| 144:9 |
God, I will sing a new song to Youyou; I will play on a ten-stringed harp for Youyou — |
| 144:10 |
the Oneone who gives victory to kings, who frees Hishis servant David from the deadly sword. |
| 144:11 |
