1Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good;
For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever.
2Oh give thanks unto the God of gods;
For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever.
3Oh give thanks unto the Lord of lords;
For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever:
4To him who alone doeth great wonders;
For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever:
5To him that by understanding made the heavens;
For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever:
6To him that spread forth the earth above the waters;
For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever:
7To him that made great lights;
For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever:
8The sun to rule by day;
For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever;
9The moon and stars to rule by night;
For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever:
10To him that smote Egypt in their first-born;
For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever;
11And brought out Israel from among them;
For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever;
12With a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm;
For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever:
13To him that divided the Red Sea in sunder;
For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever;
14And made Israel to pass through the midst of it;
For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever;
15But overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red Sea;
For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever:
16To him that led his people through the wilderness;
For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever:
17To him that smote great kings;
For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever;
18And slew famous kings;
For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever:
19Sihon king of the Amorites;
For his lovingkindness [endureth] forever;
20And Og king of Bashan;
For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever;
21And gave their land for a heritage;
For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever;
22Even a heritage unto Israel his servant;
For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever:
23Who remembered us in our low estate;
For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever;
24And hath delivered us from our adversaries;
For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever:
25Who giveth food to all flesh;
For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever.
26Oh give thanks unto the God of heaven;
For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever.
1By the rivers of Babylon,
There we sat down, yea, we wept,
When we remembered Zion.
2Upon the willows in the midst thereof We hanged up our
harps.
3For there they that led us captive required of us songs,
And they that wasted us [required of us] mirth, [saying],
Sing us one of the songs of Zion.
4How shall we sing Jehovah’s song
In a foreign land?
5If I forget thee, O Jerusalem,
Let my right hand forget [her skill].
6Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth,
If I remember thee not;
If I prefer not Jerusalem
Above my chief joy.
7Remember, O Jehovah, against the children of Edom
The day of Jerusalem;
Who said, Rase it, rase it,
Even to the foundation thereof.
8O daughter of Babylon, that art to be destroyed,
Happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee
As thou hast served us.
9Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little
ones
Against the rock.
1I will give thee thanks with my whole heart:
Before the gods will I sing praises unto thee.
2I will worship toward thy holy temple,
And give thanks unto thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy
truth:
For thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
3In the day that I called thou answeredst me,
Thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul.
4All the kings of the earth shall give thee thanks, O
Jehovah,
For they have heard the words of thy mouth.
5Yea, they shall sing of the ways of Jehovah;
For great is the glory of Jehovah.
6For though Jehovah is high, yet hath he respect unto the
lowly;
But the haughty he knoweth from afar.
7Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive
me;
Thou wilt stretch forth thy hand against the wrath of mine
enemies,
And thy right hand will save me.
8Jehovah will perfect that which concerneth me:
Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, [endureth] for ever;
Forsake not the works of thine own hands.
1O Jehovah, thou hast searched me, and known [me].
2Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising;
Thou understandest my thought afar off.
3Thou searchest out my path and my lying down,
And art acquainted with all my ways.
4For there is not a word in my tongue,
But, lo, O Jehovah, thou knowest it altogether.
5Thou hast beset me behind and before,
And laid thy hand upon me.
6[Such] knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is high, I cannot attain unto it.
7Whither shall I go from thy Spirit?
Or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
8If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there:
If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, thou art there.
9If I take the wings of the morning,
And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
10Even there shall thy hand lead me,
And thy right hand shall hold me.
11If I say, Surely the darkness shall overwhelm me,
And the light about me shall be night;
12Even the darkness hideth not from thee,
But the night shineth as the day:
The darkness and the light are both alike [to thee].
13For thou didst form my inward parts:
Thou didst cover me in my mother’s womb.
14I will give thanks unto thee; for I am fearfully and
wonderfully made:
Wonderful are thy works;
And that my soul knoweth right well.
15My frame was not hidden from thee,
When I was made in secret,
[And] curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16Thine eyes did see mine unformed substance;
And in thy book they were all written,
[Even] the days that were ordained [for me],
When as yet there was none of them.
17How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God!
How great is the sum of them!
18If I should count them, they are more in number than
the sand:
When I awake, I am still with thee.
19Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God:
Depart from me therefore, ye bloodthirsty men.
20For they speak against thee wickedly,
And thine enemies take [thy name] in vain.
21Do not I hate them, O Jehovah, that hate thee?
And am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
22I hate them with perfect hatred:
They are become mine enemies.
23Search me, O God, and know my heart:
Try me, and know my thoughts;
24And see if there be any wicked way in me,
And lead me in the way everlasting.
1Deliver me, O Jehovah, from the evil man;
Preserve me from the violent man:
2Who devise mischiefs in their heart;
Continually do they gather themselves together for war.
3They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent;
Adders’ poison is under their lips.
Selah
4Keep me, O Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked;
Preserve me from the violent man:
Who have purposed to thrust aside my steps.
5The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords;
They have spread a net by the wayside;
They have set gins for me.
Selah
6I said unto Jehovah, Thou art my God:
Give ear unto the voice of my supplications, O Jehovah.
7O Jehovah the Lord, the strength of my salvation,
Thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
8Grant not, O Jehovah, the desires of the wicked;
Further not his evil device, [lest] they exalt themselves.
Selah
9As for the head of those that compass me about,
Let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
10Let burning coals fall upon them:
Let them be cast into the fire,
Into deep pits, whence they shall not rise.
11An evil speaker shall not be established in the earth:
Evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
12I know that Jehovah will maintain the cause of the
afflicted,
And justice for the needy.
13Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name:
The upright shall dwell in thy presence.
