1. Happy are those whose | way is | blameless, *
who | walk · in the | law · of the | LORD!
2. Happy are they who ob- | serve his | decrees *
and | seek him · with | all their | hearts!
3. Who never do | any | wrong, *
but always | walk | in his | ways.
4. You laid down | your com- | mandments, *
that | we should | fully | keep them.
5. Oh, that my ways were made | so di- | rect *
That | I might | keep your | statutes.
6. Then I should not be | put to | shame, *
when I re- | gard all | your com- | mandments.
7. I will thank you with an | unfeigned | heart, *
when I have | learned your | righteous | judgments.
8. I will | keep your | statutes; *
do not | utter- | ly for- | sake me.
121. I have done what is | just and | right; *
do not deliver | me to | my op- | pressors.
122. Be surety for your | servant's | good; *
let | not the | proud op- | press me.
123. My eyes have failed from watching for | your sal- | vation *
and | for your | righteous | promise.
124. Deal with your servant according to your | loving- | kindness *
and | teach | me your | statutes.
125. I am your servant; grant me | under- | standing, *
that I may | know | your de- | crees.
126. It is time for you to | act, O | LORD, *
for | they have | broken · your | law.
127. Truly, I | love · your com- | mandments *
more than | gold and | precious | stones.
128. I hold all your commandments to be | right for | me; *
all paths of | falsehood | I ab- | hor.
9. How shall a young man | cleanse his | way? *
By | keeping | to your | words.
10. With my whole | heart I | seek you; *
let me not | stray from | your com- | mandments.
11. I treasure your promise | in my | heart, *
that I | may not | sin a- | gainst you.
12. Blessed are | you, O | LORD; *
in- | struct me | in your | statutes.
13. With my lips will | I re- | cite *
all the | judgments | of your | mouth.
14. I have taken greater joy in the way of | your de- | crees *
than | in all | manner · of | riches.
15. I will meditate on | your com- | mandments *
and give at- | tention | to your | ways.
16. My delight is | in your | statutes; *
I | will not · for- | get your | word.
25. My soul | cleaves · to the | dust; *
give me life ac- | cording | to your | word.
26. I have confessed my ways, and you | answered | me; *
in- | struct me | in your | statutes.
27. Make me understand the way of | your com- | mandments, *
that I may meditate | on your | marvel- · lous | works.
28. My soul melts a- | way for | sorrow; *
strengthen me ac- | cording | to your | word.
29. Take from me the | way of | lying; *
let me find | grace | through your | law.
30. I have chosen the | way of | faithfulness; *
I have | set your | judgments · be- | fore me.
31. I hold fast to | your de- | crees; *
O LORD, let me | not be | put to | shame.
32. I will run the way of | your com- | mandments, *
for you have | set my | heart at | liberty.
17. Deal bountifully | with your | servant, *
that I may | live and | keep your | word.
18. Open my eyes, that | I may | see *
the | wonders | of your | law.
19. I am a stranger | here on | earth; *
do not | hide · your com- | mandments | from me.
20. My soul is con- | sumed at · all | times *
with | longing | for your | judgments.
21. You have re- | buked the | insolent; *
cursed are they who | stray from | your com- | mandments!
22. Turn from me | shame · and re- | buke, *
for | I have | kept your | decrees.
23. Even though rulers sit and | plot a- | gainst me, *
I will | medi- · tate | on your | statutes.
24. For your decrees are | my de- | light, *
and | they are · my | counsel- | lors.
33. Teach me, O Lord, the | way of · your | statutes; *
and I shall | keep it | to the | end.
34. Give me understanding, and I shall | keep your | law; *
I shall | keep it · with | all my | heart.
35. Make me go in the path of | your com- | mandments, *
for | that is | my de- | sire.
36. Incline my heart to | your de- | crees *
and | not to | unjust | gain.
37. Turn my eyes from watching | what is | worthless; *
give me | life | in your | ways.
38. Fulfill your promise | to your | servant, *
which you | make to | those who | fear you.
39. Turn away the reproach | which I | dread, *
be- | cause your | judgments · are | good.
40. Behold, I long for | your com- | mandments; *
in your | righteous- · ness pre- | serve my | life.
57. You only are my | portion, · O | LORD; *
I have | promised · to | keep your | words.
58. I entreat you with | all my | heart, *
be merciful to me ac- | cording | to your | promise.
59. I have con- | sidered my | ways *
and turned my | feet t'ward | your de- | crees.
60. I hasten and | do not | tarry *
to | keep | your com- | mandments.
61. Though the cords of the | wicked · en- | tangle me, *
I do | not for- | get your | law.
62. At midnight I will rise to | give you | thanks, *
be- | cause of · your | righteous | judgments.
63. I am a companion of | all who | fear you *
and of | those who | keep · your com- | mandments.
64. The earth, O LORD, is | full of · your | love; *
in- | struct me | in your | statutes.
81. My soul has longed for | your sal- | vation; *
I have | put my | trust · in your | word.
82. My eyes have failed from | watching · for your | promise, *
and I say, "When | will you | comfort | me?"
83. I have become like a leather | flask · in the | smoke, *
but I have | not for- | gotten · your | statutes.
84. How much longer | must I | wait? *
when will you give judgment against | those who | perse- · cute | me?
85. The proud have dug | pits for | me; *
they | do not | keep your | law.
86. All your com- | mandments · are | true; *
help me, for they | perse- · cute | me with | lies.
87. They had almost made an end of | me on | earth, *
but | I have not | forsaken · your | commandments.
88. In your loving- | kindness, · re- | vive me, *
that I may | keep · the dec- | rees · of your | mouth.
89. O LORD, your word is | ever- | lasting; *
it stands | firm | in the | heavens.
90. Your faithfulness remains from one gener- | ation · to an- | other; *
you established the | earth, and | it a- | bides.
91. By your decree these | continue · to this | day, *
for | all things | are your | servants.
92. If my delight had not been | in your | law, *
I should have | perished · in | my af- | fliction.
93. I will never for- | get · your com- | mandments, *
because by | them you | give me | life.
94. I am yours; oh, that | you would | save me! *
for I | study | your com- | mandments.
95. Though the wicked lie in wait for me | to des- | troy me, *
I will apply my | mind to | your de- | crees.
96. I see that all things | come · to an | end, *
but your com- | mandment | has no | bounds.
97. Oh, how I | love your | law! *
all the day long | it is | in my | mind.
98. Your commandments have made me | wiser · than my | enemies, *
and | it is | always | with me.
99. I have more understanding than | all my | teachers, *
for your de- | crees | are my | study.
100. I am | wiser · than the | elders, *
because | I ob- | serve · your com- | mandments.
101. I restrain my feet from every | evil | way, *
that | I may | keep your | word.
102. I do not shrink | from your | judgments, *
because | you your- | self have | taught me.
103. How sweet are your words | to my | taste! *
they are sweeter than | honey | to my | mouth.
104. Through your commandments I gain | under- | standing; *
therefore I hate | ev'ry | lying | way.
105. Your word is a lantern | to my | feet *
and a | light up- | on my | path.
106. I have sworn and | am de- | termined *
to | keep your | righteous | judgments.
107. I am | deeply | troubled; *
preserve my life, O LORD, ac- | cording | to your | word.
108. Accept, O LORD, the willing tribute | of my | lips, *
and | teach | me your | judgments.
109. My life is always | in my | hand, *
yet I do | not for- | get your | law.
110. The wicked have set a | trap for | me, *
but I have not | strayed from | your com- | mandments.
111. Your decrees are my in- | heritance · for | ever; *
truly, they | are the | joy · of my | heart.
112. I have applied my heart to ful- | fill your | statutes *
for | ever · and | to the | end.
129. Your de- | crees are | wonderful; *
therefore I o- | bey · them with | all my | heart.
130. When your word goes forth | it gives | light; *
it gives under- | standing | to the | simple.
131. I open my | mouth and | pant; *
I | long for | your com- | mandments.
132. Turn to | me in | mercy, *
as you always do to | those who | love your | Name.
133. Steady my footsteps | in your | word; *
let no iniquity | have do- | minion | over me.
134. Rescue me from those | who op- | press me, *
and | I will | keep your · com- | mandments.
135. Let your countenance shine up- | on your | servant *
and | teach | me your | statutes.
136. My eyes shed | streams of | tears, *
because people | do not | keep your | law.
1 Be joyful in the LORD, | all you | lands; *
serve the LORD with gladness and come before his | presence | with a | song.
2 Know this: The LORD him- | self is | God; *
he himself has made us, and we are his; we are his people and the | sheep | of his | pasture.
3 Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his | courts with | praise; *
give thanks to him and | call up- | on his | Name.
4 For the LORD is good; his mercy is | ever- | lasting; *
and his faithfulness en- | dures from | age to | age.
1. I will sing of | mercy · and | justice; *
to you, O | LORD, will | I sing | praises.
2. I will strive to follow a | blameless | course; *
oh, when will you come to me? I will walk with sincerity of | heart with- | in my | house.
3. I will set no worthless thing be- | fore my | eyes; *
I hate the doers of evil deeds; they shall | not re- | main with | me.
4. A crooked heart shall be | far from | me; *
I | will | not know | evil.
5. Those who in secret slander their neighbors I | will de- | stroy; *
those who have a haughty look and a proud heart | I can- | not a- | bide.
6. My eyes are upon the faithful in the land, that they may | dwell with | me, *
and only those who lead a blameless | life shall | be my | servants.
7. Those who act deceitfully shall not | dwell in · my | house, *
and those who tell lies shall not con- | tinue | in my | sight.
8. I will destroy all the | wicked · in the | land, *
that I may root out all evildoers from the | city | of the | LORD.
1. LORD, hear my prayer, and let my cry | come be- | fore you; *
hide not your face from me | in the | day of | trouble.
2. Incline your | ear to | me; *
when I call, make | haste to | answer | me.
3. For my days drift a- | way like | smoke, *
and my bones are | hot as | burning | coals.
4. My heart is smitten like | grass and | withered, *
so that I for- | get to | eat my | bread.
5. Because of the | voice · of my | groaning *
I | am but | skin and | bones.
6. I have become like a vulture | in the | wilderness, *
like an | owl a- | mong the | ruins.
7. I lie a- | wake and | groan; *
I am like a sparrow, | lonely | on a | house-top.
8. My enemies revile me | all day | long, *
and those who scoff at me have | taken · an | oath a- | gainst me.
9. For I have eaten | ashes · for | bread *
and | mingled · my | drink with | weeping.
10. Because of your indig- | nation · and | wrath *
you have lifted me up and | thrown | me a- | way.
11. My days pass | like a | shadow, *
and I | wither | like the | grass.
12. But you, O LORD, en- | dure for | ever, *
and your | Name from | age to | age.
13. You will arise and have compassion on Zion, for it is time to have | mercy · up- | on her; *
indeed, the ap- | pointed | time has | come.
14. For your servants love her | very | rubble, *
and are moved to pity | even | for her | dust.
15. The nations shall fear your | Name, O | LORD, *
and all the | kings · of the | earth your | glory.
16. For the LORD will | build up | Zion, *
and his | glory | will ap- | pear.
17. He will look with favor on the | prayer · of the | homeless; *
he will | not de- | spise their | plea.
18. Let this be written for a future | gener- | ation, *
so that a people yet un- | born may | praise the | LORD.
19. For the LORD looked down from his holy | place on | high; *
from the heavens | he be- | held the | earth.
20. That he might hear the | groan · of the | captive *
and set free | those con- | demned to | die.
21. That they may declare in Zion the | Name · of the | LORD, *
and his | praise | in Je- | rusalem.
22. When the peoples are | gathered · to- | gether, *
and the kindgoms | also, · to | serve the | LORD.
23. He has brought down my strength be- | fore my | time; *
he has shortened the | number | of my | days.
24. And I said, "O my God, do not take me away in the | midst · of my | days; *
your years endure through- | out all | gener- | ations.
25. In the beginning, O LORD, you laid the foundations | of the | earth, *
and the heavens are the | work | of your | hands.
26. They shall perish, but you will endure; they shall wear out | like a | garment; *
as clothing you will change them, | and they | shall be | changed;
27. But you are | always · the | same, *
and your | years will | never | end.
28. The children of your servants | shall con- | tinue, *
and their offspring shall | stand fast | in your | sight.
1. Bless the LORD, | O my | soul, *
and all that is within me | bless his | holy | Name.
2. Bless the LORD, | O my | soul, *
and for- | get not | all his | benefits.
3. He forgives | all your | sins *
and | heals all | your in- | firmities.
4. He redeems your life | from the | grave *
and crowns you with | mercy · and | loving- | kindness.
5. He satisfies you with | good | things, *
and your youth is re- | new'd | like an | eagle's.
6. The LORD | exe- · cutes | righteousness *
and judgment for | all who | are op- | pressed.
7. He made his ways | known to | Moses *
and his works | to the | children · of | Israel.
8. The LORD is full of com- | passion · and | mercy, *
slow to anger | and of | great | kindness.
9. He will not | always · ac- | cuse us, *
nor will he | keep his | anger · for | ever.
10. He has not dealt with us ac- | cording · to our | sins, *
nor rewarded us ac- | cording | to our | wickedness.
11. For as the heavens are high a- | bove the | earth, *
so is his mercy great up- | on | those who | fear him.
12. As far as the east | is · from the | west, *
so far has he re- | moved our | sins from | us.
13. As a father | cares · for his | children, *
so does the LORD | care for | those who | fear him.
14. For he himself knows where- | of · we are | made; *
he remembers | that we | are but | dust.
15. Our days are | like the | grass; *
we flourish like a | flower | of the | field;
16. When the wind goes over it, | it is | gone, *
and its | place shall | know it · no | more.
17. But the merciful goodness of the LORD endures for ever on | those who | fear him, *
and his | righteous- · ness on | children's | children;
18. On those who | keep his | covenant *
and remember his com- | mand- | ments and | do them.
19. The LORD has set his | throne in | heaven, *
and his kingship has do- | minion | over | all.
20. Bless the LORD, you angels of his, you mighty ones who | do his | bidding, *
and hearken | to the | voice · of his | word.
21. Bless the LORD, all | you his | hosts, *
you ministers of | his who | do his | will.
22. Bless the LORD, all you works of his, in all places of | his do- | minion; *
bless the | LORD, | O my | soul.
1. Bless the LORD, | O my | soul; *
O LORD, my God, how excellent is your greatness! you are | clothed with | majes- · ty and | splendor.
2. You wrap yourself with light as | with a | cloak *
and spread out the | heavens | like a | curtain.
3. You lay the beams of your chambers in the | waters · a- | bove; *
you make the clouds your chariot: you | ride the | wings · of the | wind.
4. You make the | winds your | messengers *
and | flames of | fire your | servants.
5. You have set the earth up- | on its · found- | ations, *
so that it never shall | move at | any | time.
6. You covered it with the Deep as | with a | mantle; *
the waters stood | higher | than the | mountains.
7. At your re- | buke they | fled; *
at the voice of your | thunder · they | hastened · a- | way.
8. They went up into the hills and down to the | valleys · be- | neath, *
to the places you | had ap- | pointed | for them.
9. You set the limits that they | should not | pass; *
they shall | not · again | cover · the | sea.
10. You send the springs | into · the | valleys; *
they | flow be- | tween the | mountains.
11. All the beasts of the field drink their | fill from | them, *
and the wild | asses | quench their | thirst.
12. Beside them the birds of the air | make their | nests *
and | sing a- | mong the | branches.
13. You water the mountains from your | dwelling · on | high; *
the earth is fully satisfied | by the | fruit · of your | works.
14. You make grass grow for | flocks and | herds *
and | plants to | serve man- | kind.
15. That they may bring forth | food · from the | earth, *
and wine to | gladden · our | hearts.
16. Oil to make a | cheerful | countenance, *
and | bread to | strengthen · the | heart.
17. The trees of the LORD are | full of | sap, *
the cedars of | Leban- · on | which he | planted.
18. In which the birds | build their | nests, *
and in whose | tops the | stork · makes his | dwelling.
19. The high hills are a refuge for the | mountain | goats, *
and the stony | cliffs for | the rock | badgers.
20. You appointed the moon to | mark the | seasons, *
and the sun knows the | time | of its | setting.
21. You make darkness that it | may be | night, *
in which the | beasts · of the | forest | prowl.
22. The lions roar | after · their | prey *
and | seek their | food from | God.
23. The sun rises, and they | slip a- | way *
and | lay · themselves | down · in their | dens.
24. Man goes | forth · to his | work *
and to his | labor | until | evening.
25. O LORD, how manifold | are your | works! *
in wisdom you have made them all; the | earth is | full of · your | creatures.
26. Yonder is the great and wide sea with its living creatures to | many · to | number, *
creatures | both | great and | small.
27. There move the ships, and there is | that Le- | viathan, *
which you have | made · for the | sport of | it.
28. All of them | look to | you *
to give them their | food in | due | season.
29. You give it to | them; they | gather it; *
you open your hand, and they are | filled | with good | things.
30. You hide your face, and | they are | terrified; *
you take away their breath, and they die and re- | turn to | their | dust.
31. You send forth your Spirit, and they | are cr- | eated; *
and so you re- | new the | face · of the | earth.
32. May the glory of the LORD en- | dure for | ever; *
may the LORD re- | joice in | all his | works.
33. He looks at the earth | and it | trembles; *
he touches the | mountains | and they | smoke.
34. I will sing to the LORD as | long as · I | live; *
I will praise my God | while I | have my | being.
35. May these words of | mine | please him; *
I | will re- | joice · in the | LORD.
36. Let sinners be consumed | out of · the | earth, *
and the | wicked | be no | more.
37. Praise the LORD, | O my | soul. *
Hal- | le- | lu- | jah!
1. Give thanks to the LORD and call up- | on his | Name; *
make known his | deeds a- | mong the | peoples.
2. Sing to him, sing | praises · to | him, *
and speak of | all his | marvel- · lous | works.
3. Glory in his | holy | Name; *
let the hearts of those who | seek the | LORD re- | joice.
4. Search for the LORD, | and his | strength; *
con- | tinu- · ally | seek his | face.
5. Remember the marvels | he has | done, *
his wonders and the | judgments | of his | mouth.
6. O offspring of | Abra- · ham his | servant, *
O children of | Ja- | cob his | chosen.
7. He is the | LORD our | God; *
his | judgments · pre- | vail · in the | world.
8. He has always been | mindful · of his | covenant, *
the promise he made for a | thousand | gener- | ations.
9. The covenant he | made with | Abraham, *
the oath | that he | swore to | Isaac,
10. Which he established as a | statute for | Jacob, *
an everlasting | cove- | nant for | Israel,
11. Saying, "To you I will give the | land of | Canaan *
to be | your al | lotted · in- | heritance."
12. When they were | few in | number, *
of little account, and | sojour- · ners | in the | land,
13. Wandering from | nation · to | nation *
and from | one · kingdom | to an- | other,
14. He let no one | oppress | them, *
and re- | buked kings | for their | sake.
15. Saying, "Do not | touch · my an- | ointed *
and | do my | prophets · no | harm."
16. Then he called for a famine | in the | land *
and de- | stroyed · the sup- | ply of | bread.
17. He sent a | man be- | fore them, *
Joseph, | who was | sold · as a | slave.
18. They bruised his | feet in | fetters; *
his neck they | put · in an | iron | collar.
19. Until his prediction | came to | pass, *
the | word · of the | LORD | tested him.
20. The king sent | and re- | leased him; *
the ruler of the | peoples | set him | free.
21. He set him as a master | over · his | household, *
as a ruler | over | all · his pos- | sessions.
22. To instruct his princes | according · to his | will *
and to | teach his | elders | wisdom
23. Israel | came · into | Egypt, *
and Jacob became a sojourner | in the | land of | Ham.
24. The LORD made his people ex- | ceeding- · ly | fruitful; *
he made them | stronger | than their | enemies.
25. Whose heart he turned, so that they | hated · his | people, *
and dealt un- | justly | with his | servants.
26. He sent | Moses · his | servant, *
and | Aaron | whom · he had | chosen.
27. They worked his | signs a- | mong them, *
and portents | in the | land of | Ham.
28. He sent darkness | and it · grew | dark; *
but the Egyptians re- | belled a- | gainst his | words.
29. He turned their waters | into | blood *
and | caused their | fish to | die.
30. Their land was | overrun · by | frogs, *
in the very | chambers | of their | kings.
31. He spoke, and there came | swarms of | insects *
and | gnats with- · in | all their | borders.
32. He gave them hailstones in- | stead of | rain, *
and flames of | fire through- | out their | land.
33. He blasted their | vines · and their | fig trees *
and shattered | ev'ry | tree · in their | country.
34. He spoke, and the | locusts | came, *
and young | locusts | without | number.
35. Which ate up all the green | plants · in their | land *
and de- | voured the | fruit · of their | soil.
36. He struck down the | firstborn · of their | land, *
the | firstfruits · of | all their | strength.
37. He led out his people with | silver · and | gold; *
in all their tribes there | was not | one that | stumbled.
38. So Egypt was | glad of · their | going, *
because | they · were a- | fraid of | them.
39. He spread out a | cloud · or a | covering *
and a fire to give | light in | the night | season.
40. They asked, and | quails ap- | peared, *
and he satisfied | them with | bread from | heaven.
41. He opened the rock, and | water | flowed, *
so the river | ran · in the | dry | places.
42. For God remembered his | holy | word *
and | Abra- | ham his | servant.
43. So he led forth his | people · with | gladness, *
his | chosen · with | shouts of | joy.
44. He gave his people the | lands · of the | nations, *
and they took the | fruit of | others' | toil.
45. That they might | keep his | statutes *
and observe his | laws. | Halle- | lujah.
1. Hallelujah! Give thanks to the LORD, for | he is | good, *
for his | mercy · en- | dures for | ever.
2. Who can declare the mighty | acts · of the | LORD *
or | show forth | all his | praise?
3. Happy are those who | act with | justice *
and always | do | what is | right.
4. Remember me, O LORD, with the favor you have | for your | people, *
and visit me | with your | saving | help.
5. That I may see the prosperity of your elect and be glad with the | gladness · of your | people, *
that I may glory | with your | inher- | itance.
6. We have sinned as our | forebears | did; *
we have done | wrong | and dealt | wickedly.
7. In Egypt they did not consider your marvelous works, nor remember the a- | bundance · of your | love; *
they defied the Most | High | at the · Red | Sea.
8. But he saved them for his | Name's | sake, *
to | make his | pow'r | known.
9. He rebuked the Red Sea, and it | dried | up, *
and he led them through the | deep as | through a | desert.
10. He saved them from the hand of | those who | hated them *
and redeemed them | from the | hand · of the | enemy.
11. The waters covered | their op- | pressors; *
not | one of | them was | left.
12. Then they be- | lieved his | words *
and | sang him | songs of | praise.
13. But they soon for- | got his | deeds *
and did not | wait | for his | counsel.
14. A craving seized them | in the | wilderness, *
and they put God to the | test | in the | desert.
15. He gave them | what they | asked, *
but sent | leanness | into · their | soul.
16. They envied Moses | in the | camp, *
and Aaron, the | holy | one · of the | LORD.
17. The earth opened and | swallowed | Dathan *
and covered the | compa- | ny of | Abiram.
18. Fire blazed up a- | gainst their | company, *
and | flames de- | voured the | wicked.
19. Israel made a | bull-calf · at | Horeb *
and | worshiped · a | molten | image.
20. And so they ex- | changed their | Glory *
for the image of an | ox that | feeds on | grass.
21. They forgot | God their | Savior, *
who had | done great | things in | Egypt.
22 Wonderful deeds in the | land of | Ham, *
and fearful things | at the | Red | Sea.
23. So he would have destroyed them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him | in the | breach, *
to turn away his wrath | from con- | suming | them.
24. They refused the | pleasant | land *
and would | not be- | lieve his | promise.
25. They grumbled | in their | tents *
and would not listen to the | voice | of the | LORD.
26. So he lifted his | hand a- | gainst them, *
to over- | throw them | in the | wilderness,
27. To cast out their seed a- | mong the | nations, *
to scatter | them through- | out the | lands.
28. They joined themselves to | Ba'al- | Peor *
and ate sacrifices | offered | to the | dead.
29. They provoked him to anger | with their | actions, *
and a | plague broke | out a- | mong them.
30. Then Phinehas stood up and | inter- | ceded, *
and the | plague came | to an | end.
31. This was reckoned to | him as | righteousness *
throughout all | gener- | ations · for | ever.
32. Again they provoked his anger at the | waters · of | Meribah, *
so that he punished | Moses | because · of | them.
33. For they so em- | bittered · his | spirit *
that he | spoke rash | words · with his | lips.
34. They did not des- | troy the | peoples *
as the LORD | had com- | manded | them.
35. They intermingled | with the | heathen *
and | learned their | pagan | ways.
36. So that they | worshiped · their | idols, *
which be- | came a | snare to | them.
37. They sacri- | ficed their | sons *
and their | daughters · to | evil | spirits.
38. They shed innocent blood, the blood of their | sons and | daughters, *
which they offered to the idols of Canaan, and the land | was de- | filed with | blood.
39. Thus they were polluted | by their | actions *
and went whoring | in their | evil | deeds.
40. Therefore the wrath of the LORD was kindled a- | gainst his | people *
and he ab- | horred | his in- | heritance.
41. He gave them over the the | hand · of the | heathen, *
and those who | hated · them | ruled | over them.
42. Their ene- | mies op- | pressed them, *
and they were | humbled | under · their | hand.
43. Many a time did he deliver them, but they rebelled through their | own de- | vices, *
and were brought | down in | their in- | iquity.
44. Nevertheless, he saw | their dis- | tress, *
when he | heard their | lamen- | tation.
45. He remembered his | cove- · nant | with them *
and relented in accordance | with his | great | mercy.
46. He caused them | to be | pitied *
by | those who | held them | captive.
47. Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from a- | mong the | nations, *
that we may give thanks to your holy Name, and | glory | in your | praise.
48. Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to | ever- | lasting; *
and let all the people say, | "Amen!" | Halle- | lujah
1. Give thanks to the LORD, for | he is | good, *
and his | mercy · en- | dures for | ever.
2. Let those whom the LORD has re- | deemed pro- | claim *
that he redeemed them | from the | hand · of the | foe.
3. He gathered them | out of · the | lands; *
from the east and from the west, from the | north and | from the | south.
4. Some wandered in | desert | wastes; *
they found no way to a | city · where | they might | dwell.
5. They were | hungry · and | thirsty; *
their spirits | lan- | guished with- | in them.
6. Then they cried out to the LORD | in their | trouble, *
and he delivered | them from | their dis- | tress.
7. He put their feet on a | straight | path *
to go to a | city · where | they might | dwell.
8. Let them give thanks to the LORD | for his | mercy *
and the wonders he | does | for his | children.
9. For he | satis- · fied the | thirsty *
and fills the | hungry | with good | things.
10. Some sat in darkness and | deep | gloom, *
bound fast in | mise- | ry and | iron;
11. Because they rebelled against the | words of | God *
and despised the | counsel · of the | Most | High.
12. So humbled their spirits with | hard | labor; *
they stumbled, and | there was | none to | help.
13. Then they cried to the LORD | in their | trouble, *
and he de- | livered · them | from · their dis- | tress.
14. He led them out of darkness and | deep | gloom *
and | broke their | bonds a- | sunder.
15. Let them give thanks to the LORD | for his | mercy *
and the wonders he does | for his | children.
16. For he shatters the | doors of | bronze *
and breaks in | two the | iron | bars,
17. Some were fools and took to re- | bellious | ways; *
they were afflicted be- | cause | of their | sins.
18. They abhorred all | manner · of | food *
and drew | near to | death's | door.
19. Then they cried to the LORD | in their | trouble, *
and he de- | livered · them from | their dis- | tress.
20. He sent for his | word and | healed them *
and | saved them | from the | grave.
21. Let them give thanks to the LORD | for his | mercy *
and the wonders he does | for his | children.
22. Let them offer a | sacri- · fice of | thanksgiving *
and tell of his | acts with | shouts of | joy.
23. Some went down to the | sea in | ships *
and plied their | trade in | deep | waters.
24. They beheld the | works · of the | LORD *
and his | wonders | in the | deep.
25. Then he spoke, and a stormy | wind a- | rose, *
which tossed | high the | waves · of the | sea.
26. They mounted up to the heavens and fell | back · to the | depths; *
their hearts | melted · be- | cause · of their | peril.
27. They reeled and | staggered · like | drunkards *
and | were at | their wits' | end.
28. Then they cried out to the LORD | in their | trouble, *
and he de- | livered · them from | their dis- | tress.
29. He stilled the storm | to a | whisper *
and quieted the | waves | of the | sea.
30. Then were they glad be- | cause of · the | calm, *
and he brought them to the | harbor | they were | bound for.
31. Let them give thanks to the LORD | for his | mercy *
and the wonders he does | for his | children.
32. Let them exalt him in the congregation | of the | people *
and praise him in the | council | of the | elders.
33. The LORD changed rivers | into | deserts, *
and water-springs | into | thirsty | ground.
34. A fruitful land | into | salt flats, *
because of the | wicked- | ness of | those who | dwelt there.
35. He changed deserts into | pools of | water *
and | dry land | into | water-springs.
36. He settled the | hungry | there, *
and they | founded · a | city · to | dwell in.
37. They sowed fields, and | planted | vineyards, *
and | brought · in a | fruitful | harvest.
38. He bless'd them, so that they | increased | greatly; *
he did not | let their | herds de- | crease.
39. Yet when they were diminished | and brought | low, *
through stress of ad- | versi- | ty and | sorrow,
40. (He pours con- | tempt on | princes *
and makes them wander in trackless wastes)
41. He lifted up the poor | out of | misery *
and multiplied their | fami- · lies like | flocks of | sheep.
42. The upright will see this | and re- | joice, *
but all | wicked- · ness will | shut its | mouth.
43. Whosoever is wise will | ponder · these | things, *
and consider well the | mercies | of the | LORD.
1. My heart is firmly fixed, O God, my | heart is | fixed; *
I will | sing and | make | melody.
2. Wake up my spirit; awake, | lute and | harp; *
I myself will | wa- | ken the | dawn.
3. I will confess you among the | peoples, · O | LORD; *
I will sing praises to | you a- | mong the | nations.
4. For your loving-kindness is | greater · than the | heavens, *
and your faithfulness | reaches | to the | clouds.
5. Exalt yourself above the | heavens, · O | God, *
and your glory | over | all the | earth.
6. So that those who are dear to you may | be de- | livered, *
save with your | right | hand and | answer me.
7. God spoke from his holy | place and | said: *
"I will exult and parcel out Shechem; I will di- | vide the | valley · of | Succoth.
8. Gilead is mine and Man- asseh · is | mine; *
Ephraim is my helmet and | Ju- | dah my | scepter.
9. Moab is my wash-basin, on Edom I throw down my | sandal · to | claim it, *
and over Philistia | I will | shout in | triumph."
10. Who will lead me into the | strong | city? *
who will | bring me | into | Edom?
11. Have you not cast us | off, O | God? *
you no longer go out, O | God, | with our | armies.
12. Grant us your help a- | gainst the | enemy, *
for | vain · is the | help of | man.
13. With God we will do | valiant | deeds, *
and he shall tread our | ene- · mies | under | foot.
1. Hold not your tongue, O | God of | my praise; *
for the mouth of the wicked, the mouth of the de- | ceitful, · is | opened a- | gainst me.
2. They speak to me with a | lying | tongue; *
they encompass me with hateful words and fight a- | gainst me | without · a | cause.
3. Despite my love, they | accuse | me; *
but as for | me, | pray for | them.
4. They repay | evil · for | good, *
and | hatred | for my | love.
5. Set a wicked | man a- | gainst him, *
and let an accuser | stand at | his right | hand.
6. When he is judged, let | him be · found | guilty, *
and let his ap- | peal | be in | vain.
7. Let his | days be | few, *
and let an- | other | take his | office.
8. Let his | children · be | fatherless, *
and his | wife be- | come a | widow.
9. Let his children be | waifs and | beggars; *
let them be driven from the | ruins | of their | homes.
10. Let the creditor seize | every- · thing he | has; *
let | strangers | plunder · his | goods.
11. Let there be no one to | show him | kindness, *
and none to | pity · his | father- · less | children.
12. Let his descendents | be des- | troyed, *
and his name be blotted out | in the | next · gener- | ation.
13. Let the wickedness of his fathers be remembered be- | fore the | LORD, *
and his mother's sin | not be | blotted | out.
14. Let their sin be always be- | fore the | LORD; *
but let him | root out · their | names · from the | earth.
15. Because he did not re- | member · to show | mercy, *
but persecuted the poor and needy and sought to | kill the | broken- | hearted.
16. He loved cursing, let it | come up- | on him; *
he took no delight in blessing, | let it · de- | part from | him.
17. He put on cursing | like a | garment, *
let it soak into his body like water and | into · his | bones like | oil.
18. Let it be to him like the cloak which he | wraps a- · round him- | self, *
and like the belt | that he | wears con- | tinually.
19. Let this be the recompense from the LORD to | my ac- | cusers, *
and to those who speak | ev- | il a- | gainst me.
20. But you, O LORD my God, oh, deal with me ac- | cording to · your | Name; *
for your tender | mercy's | sake, de- | liver me.
21. For I am | poor and | needy, *
and my heart is | wound- | ed with- | in me.
22. I have faded away like a | shadow · when it | lengthens; *
I am | shaken · off | like a | locust.
23. My knees are weak e- | nough through | fasting, *
and my | flesh is | wasted · and | gaunt.
24. I have become a re- | proach to | them; *
they | see and | shake their | heads.
25. Help me, O | LORD my | God; *
save me | for your | mercy's | sake.
26. Let them know that | this is · your | hand, *
that | you, O | LORD, have | done it.
27. They may curse, but | you will | bless; *
let those who rise up against me be put to shame, and your | servant | will re- | joice.
28. Let my accusers be | cloth'd | with dis- | grace *
and wrap themselves in their | shame as | in a | cloak.
29. I will give great thanks to the LORD | with my | mouth; *
in the midst of the | multi- · tude | will I | praise him;
30. Because he stands at the right | hand · of the | needy, *
to save his life from | those who | would con- | demn him.
1. Why do you stand so far | off, O | LORD, *
and hide yourself | in the | time of | trouble?
2. The wicked arrogantly | perse- · cute the | poor, *
but they are trapped in the | schemes they | have de- | vised.
3. The wicked boast of their | heart's de- | sire; *
the covetous | curse · and re- | vile the | LORD.
4. The wicked are so proud that they care | not for | God; *
their only thought is, | "God | does not | matter."
5. Their ways are devious at all times; your judgments are far above | out of · their | sight; *
they de- | fy | all their | enemies.
6. They say in their heart, "I shall | not be | shaken; *
no harm shall | happen | to me | ever."
7. Their mouth is full of cursing, de- | ceit and · op- | pression; *
under their | tongue are | mischief · and | wrong.
8. They lurk in ambush in public squares and in secret places they | murder · the | innocent; *
they | spy | out the | helpless.
9. They lie in wait, like a lion in a covert; they lie in wait to seize up- | on the | lowly; *
they seize the lowly and drag them a- | way | in their | net.
10. The innocent are broken and | humbled · be- | fore them; *
the helpless | fall be- | fore their | power.
11. They say in their heart, | "God · has for- | gotten; *
he hides his face; | he will | never | notice."
12. Rise up, O LORD; lift up your | hand, O | God; *
do | not for- | get · the af- | flicted.
13. Why should the wicked re- | vile | God? *
why should they say in their | heart, | "You · do not | care"?
14. Surely, you behold | trouble · and | misery; *
you see it and | take it | into · your | hand.
15. The helpless commit them- | selves to | you, *
for you are the | hel- | per of | orphans.
16. Break the power of the | wicked · and | evil; *
search out their wickedness | until | you find | none.
17. The LORD is King for | ever · and | ever; *
the ungodly shall | perish | from his | land.
18. The LORD will hear the de- | sire · of the | humble; *
you will strengthen their heart | and your | ears shall | hear;
19. To give justice to the | orphan · and op- | pressed, *
so that mere mortals | may strike | terror · no | more.
1. The LORD said to my Lord, "Sit at | my right | hand, *
until I make your | ene- | mies your | footstool."
2. The LORD will send the scepter of your power | out of | Zion, *
saying, "Rule over your | ene- · mies | round a- | bout you.
3. Princely state has been yours from the | day of · your | birth; *
in the beauty of holiness have I begotten you, like dew from the | womb | of the | morning."
4. The LORD has sworn and will | not re- | cant: *
"You are a priest for ever | after · the | order · of Mel- | chizedek."
5. The Lord who is at your right hand will smite kings in the | day · of his | wrath; *
he will | rule | over · the | nations.
6. He will heap | high the | corpses; *
he will smash heads | over | the wide | earth.
7. He will drink from the brook be- | side the | road; *
therefore he | will lift | high his | head.
1. Hallelujah! I will give thanks to the LORD with my | whole | heart, *
in the assembly of the upright, | in the | congre- | gation.
2. Great are the | deeds · of the | LORD! *
they are studied by | all · who de- | light in | them.
3. His work is full of | majes- · ty and | splendor, *
and his | righteous- · ness en- | dures for | ever.
4. He makes his marvelous works to | be re- | membered; *
the LORD is | gracious · and | full · of com- | passion.
5. He gives food to | those who | fear him; *
he is ever | mindful | of his | covenant.
6. He has shown his people the | pow'r · of his | works *
in giving | them the | lands of | nations.
7. The works of his hands are | faithful- · ness and | justice; *
all | his · command- | ments are | true.
8. They stand fast for | ever · and | ever, *
because they are | done in | truth and | equity.
9. He sent redemption to his people; he commanded his | cove- · nant for | ever; *
holy and | awesome | is his | Name.
10. The fear of the LORD is the be- | ginning · of | wisdom; *
those who act accordingly have a good understanding; his | praise en- | dures for | ever.
1. Hallelujah! Happy are they who | fear the | LORD *
and have great de- | light in | his com- | mandment.
2. Their descendants will be mighty | in the | land; *
the generation of the | upright | will be | blessed.
3. Wealth and riches will be | in their | house, *
and righteous- | ness will | last for | ever.
4. Light shines in the darkness | for the | upright; *
the righteous are | merciful · and | full · of com- | passion.
5. It is good for them to be | generous · in | lending *
and to manage their af- | fairs with | justice.
6. For they will | never · be | shaken; *
the righteous will be kept in | ever- | lasting · re- | membrance.
7. They will not be afraid of any | evil | rumors; *
their heart is right; they | put their | trust · in the | Lord.
8. Their heart is established and | will not | shrink, *
until they | see · their de- | sire · on their | enemies.
9. They have given freely | to the | poor, *
and their righteousness stands fast for ever; they will | hold up · their | head with | honor.
10. The wicked will see it and be angry; they will gnash their teeth and | pine a- | way; *
the | desires · of the | wicked · will | perish.
1. Hallelujah! Give praise, you | servants · of the | LORD; *
praise the | Name | of the | LORD.
2. Let the Name of the | LORD be | blessed, *
from this time | forth for | ever- | more.
3. From the rising of the sun to its | going | down *
let the | Name · of the | LORD be | praised.
4. The LORD is high a- | bove all | nations, *
and his | glory · a- | bove the | heavens.
5. Who is like the LORD our God, who sits en- | throned on | high, *
but stoops to be- | hold the | heav'ns · and the | earth?
6. He takes up the weak | out · of the | dust *
and lifts up the | poor | from the | ashes.
7. He | sets them · with | princes, *
with the | princes | of his | people.
8. He makes the woman of a | childless | house *
to be a | joyful | mother · of | children.
1 Hallelujah! When Israel came | out of | Egypt, *
the house of Jacob from a | people · of | strange | speech,
2 Judah became | God's sanc- | tuary *
and Israel | his do- | minion.
3 The sea be- | held it · and | fled; *
Jordan | turned and | went | back.
4 The mountains | skipped like | rams, *
and the little | hills like | young | sheep.
5 What ailed you, O sea, | that you | fled? *
O Jor- | dan, · that you | turned | back?
6 You mountains, that you | skipped like | rams? *
you little | hills like | young | sheep?
7 Tremble, O earth, at the | presence · of the | Lord, *
at the presence | of the | God of | Jacob,
8 Who turned the hard rock into a | pool of | water *
and flint-stone | into · a | flowing | spring.
1. Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to your | Name give | glory; *
because of your love and be- | cause | of your | faithfulness.
2. Why should the | heathen | say, *
"Where | then is | their | God?"
3. Our God | is in | heaven; *
whatever he | wills to | do he | does.
4. Their idols are | silver · and | gold, *
the | work of | human | hands.
5. They have mouths, but they | cannot | speak; *
eyes have they, | but they | cannot | see;
6. They have ears, but they | cannot | hear; *
noses, | but they | cannot | smell;
7. They have hands, but they cannot feel; feet, but they | cannot | walk; *
they make | no sound | with their | throat.
8. Those who | make them · are | like them, *
and so are all who | put their | trust in | them.
9. O Israel, | trust · in the | LORD; *
he is their | help | and their | shield.
10. O house of Aaron, | trust · in the | LORD, *
he is their | help | and their | shield
11. You who fear the LORD, | trust · in the | LORD; *
he is their | help | and their | shield
12. The LORD has been mindful of us, and | he will | bless us; *
he will bless the house of Israel; he will | bless the | house of | Aaron;
13. He will bless those who | fear the | LORD, *
both | small and | great to- | gether.
14. May the LORD increase you | more and | more, *
you and your | children | after | you.
15. May you be | bless'd · by the | LORD, *
the | maker · of | heav'n and | earth.
16. The heaven of heavens | is the | LORD's, *
but he entrusted the | earth | to its | peoples.
17. The dead do not | praise the | LORD, *
nor all those who | go down | into | silence;
18. But we will | bless the | LORD, *
from this time forth for ever- | more. | Halle- | lujah!
1. I love the LORD, because he has heard the voice of my | suppli- | cation, *
because he has inclined his ear to me when- | ever · I | called up- | on him.
2. The cords of death entangled me; the grip of the grave took | hold of | me; *
I | came to | grief and | sorrow.
3. Then I called upon the | Name · of the | LORD: *
"O LORD, I | pray you, | save my | life."
4. Gracious is the | LORD and | righteous; *
our | God is | full · of com- | passion.
5. The LORD watches | over · the | innocent; *
I was brought very | low, | and he | helped me.
6. Turn again to your rest, | O my | soul, *
for the | LORD has | treated · you | well.
7. For you have rescued my | life from | death, *
my eyes from tears, | and my | feet from | stumbling.
8. I will walk in the | presence · of the | LORD *
in the | land | of the | living.
9. I believed, even when I said, "I have been | brought · very | low." *
In my distress I said, | "No one | can be | trusted."
10. How shall I re- | pay the | LORD *
for all the | good things | he has | done for me?
11. I will lift up the | cup of · sal- | vation *
and call up- | on the | Name · of the | LORD.
12. I will fulfill my vows | to the | LORD *
in the | presence · of | all his | people.
13. Precious in the | sight · of the | LORD *
is the | death | of his | servants.
14. O LORD, | I am · your | servant; *
I am your servant and the child of your handmaid; you have | freed me | from my | bonds.
15. I will offer you the sacri- | fice of | thanksgiving *
and call up- | on the | Name · of the | LORD.
16. I will fulfill my | vows · to the | LORD *
in the | presence · of | all his | people.
17. In the courts of the | LORD's | house, *
in the midst of you, O Je- | rusa- · lem. | Halle- | lujah!
1. Praise the LORD, | all you | nations; *
laud | him, | all you | peoples.
2. For his loving-kindness t'ward | us is | great, *
and the faithfulness of the LORD endures for ev- | er. Hal- | lelu- | jah!
1. Give thanks to the LORD, for | he is | good; *
his | mercy · en- | dures for | ever.
2. Let Israel | now pro- | claim, *
"His | mercy · en- | dures for | ever."
3. Let the house of | Aaron · pro- | claim, *
"His | mercy · en- | dures for | ever."
4. Let those who fear the LORD | now pro- | claim, *
"His | mercy · en- | dures for | ever."
5. I called to the LORD in | my dis- | tress; *
the LORD | answered by | setting · me | free.
6. The LORD is on my side, I | will not | fear; *
what can | anyone | do to | me?
7. The LORD is on my side to help me; *
I will triumph over those who hate me.
8. It is better to re- | ly · on the | LORD *
than to put | any | trust in | flesh.
9. It is better to re- | ly · on the | LORD *
than to put | any | trust in | rulers.
10. All the ungodly en- | compass | me; *
in the Name of the | LORD | | I will · re- | pel them.
11. They hem me in, they hem me in on | ev'ry | side; *
in the Name of the | LORD | I will · re- | pel them.
12. They swarm about me like bees; they blaze like a | fire of | thorns; *
in the Name of the | LORD | I will · re- | pel them.
13. I was pressed so hard that I | almost | fell, *
but the | LORD | came to · my | help.
14. The LORD is my | strength · and my | song, *
and he | has be- | come · my sal- | vation.
15. There is a sound of exult- | ation · and | victory *
in the | tents | of the | righteous.
16. "The right hand of the | LORD has | triumphed! *
the right hand of the LORD is exalted! the right hand | of the | LORD has | triumphed!"
17. I shall not | die, but | live, *
and de- | clare the | works · of the | LORD.
18. The LORD has | punished · me | sorely, *
but he did not | hand me | over · to | death.
19. Open for me the | gates of | righteousness; *
I will enter them; I will offer | thanks | to the | LORD.
20. "This is the | gate · of the | LORD; *
he | who is | righteous · may | enter."
21. I will give thanks for you, | for you | answered me *
and | have be- | come · my sal- | vation.
22. The same stone which the | builders · re- | jected *
has be- | come the | chief | cornerstone.
23. This is the | LORD's | doing, *
and it is | marvel- · ous | in our | eyes.
24. On this day the | LORD has | acted; *
we will re- | joice | and be | glad in it.
25. Hosanna, | LORD, ho- | sanna! *
LORD, | send us | now suc- | cess.
26. Blessed is he who comes in the | Name · of the | Lord; *
we bless you | from the | house · of the | LORD.
27. God is the LORD; he has | shined up- | on us; *
form a procession with branches up to the | horns | of the | altar.
