Psalm 76:1 To the Overseer with stringed instruments. -- A Psalm of Asaph. -- A Song. In Judah [is] God known, in Israel His name [is] great.
76:2 And His tabernacle is in Salem, And His habitation in Zion.
76:3 There he hath shivered arrows of a bow, Shield, and sword, and battle. Selah.
76:4 Bright [art] Thou, honourable above hills of prey.
76:5 Spoiled themselves have the mighty of heart, They have slept their sleep, And none of the men of might found their hands.
76:6 From Thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both rider and horse have been fast asleep.
76:7 Thou, fearful [art] Thou, And who doth stand before Thee, Since Thou hast been angry!
76:8 From heaven Thou hast sounded judgment, Earth hath feared, and hath been still,
76:9 In the rising of God to judgment, To save all the humble of earth. Selah.
Psalm 76:10 For the fierceness of man praiseth Thee, The remnant of fierceness Thou girdest on.

PSALM CHAPTER 77

Psalm 77:1 To the Overseer, for Jeduthun. -- A Psalm of Asaph. My voice [is] to God, and I cry, my voice [is] to God, And He hath given ear unto me.
77:2 In a day of my distress the Lord I sought, My hand by night hath been spread out, And it doth not cease, My soul hath refused to be comforted.
77:3 I remember God, and make a noise, I meditate, and feeble is my spirit. Selah.
77:4 Thou hast taken hold of the watches of mine eyes, I have been moved, and I speak not.
77:5 I have reckoned the days of old, The years of the ages.
77:6 I remember my music in the night, With my heart I meditate, and my spirit doth search diligently:
77:7 To the ages doth the Lord cast off? Doth He add to be pleased no more?
77:8 Hath His kindness ceased for ever? The saying failed to all generations?
77:9 Hath God forgotten [His] favours? Hath He shut up in anger His mercies? Selah.
Psalm 77:10 And I say: `My weakness is, The changes of the right hand of the Most High.'
77:11 I mention the doings of Jah, For I remember of old Thy wonders,
77:12 And I have meditated on all Thy working, And I talk concerning Thy doings.
77:13 O God, in holiness [is] Thy way, Who [is] a great god like God?
77:14 Thou [art] the God doing wonders. Thou hast made known among the peoples Thy strength,
77:15 Thou hast redeemed with strength Thy people, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
77:16 The waters have seen Thee, O God, The waters have seen Thee, They are afraid -- also depths are troubled.
77:17 Poured out waters have thick clouds, The skies have given forth a noise, Also -- Thine arrows go up and down.
77:18 The voice of Thy thunder [is] in the spheres, Lightnings have lightened the world, The earth hath trembled, yea, it shaketh.
77:19 In the sea [is] Thy way, And Thy paths [are] in many waters, And Thy tracks have not been known.
Psalm 77:20 Thou hast led as a flock Thy people, By the hand of Moses and Aaron!

PSALM CHAPTER 78

Psalm 78:1 An Instruction of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, to my law, Incline your ear to sayings of my mouth.
78:2 I open with a simile my mouth, I bring forth hidden things of old,
78:3 That we have heard and do know, And our fathers have recounted to us.
78:4 We do not hide from their sons, To a later generation recounting praises of YHWH, And His strength, and His wonders that He hath done.
78:5 And He raiseth up a testimony in Jacob, And a law hath placed in Israel, That He commanded our fathers, To make them known to their sons.
78:6 So that a later generation doth know, Sons who are born, do rise and recount to their sons,
78:7 And place in God their confidence, And forget not the doings of God, But keep His commands.
78:8 And they are not like their fathers, A generation apostate and rebellious, A generation! it hath not prepared its heart, Nor stedfast with God [is] its spirit.
78:9 Sons of Ephraim -- armed bearers of bow, Have turned in a day of conflict.
Psalm 78:10 They have not kept the covenant of God, And in His law they have refused to walk,
78:11 And they forget His doings, And His wonders that He shewed them.
78:12 Before their fathers He hath done wonders, In the land of Egypt -- the field of Zoan.
78:13 He cleft a sea, and causeth them to pass over, Yea, He causeth waters to stand as a heap.
78:14 And leadeth them with a cloud by day, And all the night with a light of fire.
78:15 He cleaveth rocks in a wilderness, And giveth drink -- as the great deep.
78:16 And bringeth out streams from a rock, And causeth waters to come down as rivers.
78:17 And they add still to sin against Him, To provoke the Most High in the dry place.
78:18 And they try God in their heart, To ask food for their lust.
78:19 And they speak against God -- they said: `Is God able to array a table in a wilderness?'
Psalm 78:20 Lo, He hath smitten a rock, And waters flow, yea, streams overflow. `Also -- bread [is] He able to give? Doth He prepare flesh for His people?'
78:21 Therefore hath YHWH heard, And He sheweth Himself wroth, And fire hath been kindled against Jacob, And anger also hath gone up against Israel,
78:22 For they have not believed in God, Nor have they trusted in His salvation.
78:23 And He commandeth clouds from above, Yea, doors of the heavens He hath opened.
78:24 And He raineth on them manna to eat, Yea, corn of heaven He hath given to them.
78:25 Food of the mighty hath each eaten, Venison He sent to them to satiety.
78:26 He causeth an east wind to journey in the heavens, And leadeth by His strength a south wind,
78:27 And He raineth on them flesh as dust, And as sand of the seas -- winged fowl,
78:28 And causeth [it] to fall in the midst of His camp, Round about His tabernacles.
78:29 And they eat, and are greatly satisfied, And their desire He bringeth to them.
Psalm 78:30 They have not been estranged from their desire, Yet [is] their food in their mouth,
78:31 And the anger of God hath gone up against them, And He slayeth among their fat ones, And youths of Israel He caused to bend.
78:32 With all this they have sinned again, And have not believed in His wonders.
78:33 And He consumeth in vanity their days, And their years in trouble.
78:34 If He slew them, then they sought Him, And turned back, and sought God earnestly,
78:35 And they remember that God [is] their rock, And God Most High their redeemer.
78:36 And -- they deceive Him with their mouth, And with their tongue do lie to Him,
78:37 And their heart hath not been right with Him, And they have not been stedfast in His covenant.
78:38 And He -- the Merciful One, Pardoneth iniquity, and destroyeth not, And hath often turned back His anger, And waketh not up all His fury.
78:39 And He remembereth that they [are] flesh, A wind going on -- and it returneth not.
Psalm 78:40 How often do they provoke Him in the wilderness, Grieve Him in the desolate place?
78:41 Yea, they turn back, and try God, And the Holy One of Israel have limited.
78:42 They have not remembered His hand The day He ransomed them from the adversary.
78:43 When He set His signs in Egypt, And His wonders in the field of Zoan,
78:44 And He turneth to blood their streams, And their floods they drink not.
78:45 He sendeth among them the beetle, and it consumeth them, And the frog, and it destroyeth them,
78:46 And giveth to the caterpillar their increase, And their labour to the locust.
78:47 He destroyeth with hail their vine, And their sycamores with frost,
78:48 And delivereth up to the hail their beasts, And their cattle to the burning flames.
78:49 He sendeth on them the fury of His anger, Wrath, and indignation, and distress -- A discharge of evil messengers.
Psalm 78:50 He pondereth a path for His anger, He kept not back their soul from death, Yea, their life to the pestilence He delivered up.
78:51 And He smiteth every first-born in Egypt, The first-fruit of the strong in tents of Ham.
78:52 And causeth His people to journey as a flock, And guideth them as a drove in a wilderness,
78:53 And He leadeth them confidently, And they have not been afraid, And their enemies hath the sea covered.
78:54 And He bringeth them in unto the border of His sanctuary, This mountain His right hand had got,
78:55 And casteth out nations from before them, And causeth them to fall in the line of inheritance, And causeth the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents,
78:56 And they tempt and provoke God Most High, And His testimonies have not kept.
78:57 And they turn back, And deal treacherously like their fathers, They have been turned like a deceitful bow,
78:58 And make Him angry with their high places, And with their graven images make Him zealous,
78:59 God hath heard, and sheweth Himself wroth. And kicketh exceedingly against Israel.
Psalm 78:60 And He leaveth the tabernacle of Shiloh, The tent He had placed among men,
78:61 And He giveth His strength to captivity, And His beauty into the hand of an adversary,
78:62 And delivereth up to the sword His people, And with His inheritance shewed Himself angry.
78:63 His young men hath fire consumed, And His virgins have not been praised.
78:64 His priests by the sword have fallen, And their widows weep not.
78:65 And the Lord waketh as a sleeper, As a mighty one crying aloud from wine.
78:66 And He smiteth His adversaries backward, A reproach age-during He hath put on them,
78:67 And He kicketh against the tent of Joseph, And on the tribe of Ephraim hath not fixed.
78:68 And He chooseth the tribe of Judah, With mount Zion that He loved,
78:69 And buildeth His sanctuary as a high place, Like the earth, He founded it to the age.
Psalm 78:70 And He fixeth on David His servant, And taketh him from the folds of a flock,
78:71 From behind suckling ones He hath brought him in, To rule over Jacob His people, And over Israel His inheritance.
78:72 And he ruleth them according to the integrity of his heart, And by the skilfulness of his hands leadeth them!

PSALM CHAPTER 79

Psalm 79:1 A Psalm of Asaph. O God, nations have come into Thy inheritance, They have defiled Thy holy temple, They made Jerusalem become heaps,
79:2 They gave the dead bodies of Thy servants Food for the fowls of the heavens, The flesh of Thy saints For the wild beast of the earth.
79:3 They have shed their blood As water round about Jerusalem, And there is none burying.
79:4 We have been a reproach to our neighbours, A scorn and a derision to our surrounders.
79:5 Till when, O YHWH? art Thou angry for ever? Thy jealousy doth burn as fire.
79:6 Pour Thy fury on the nations who have not known Thee, And on kingdoms that have not called in Thy name.
79:7 For [one] hath devoured Jacob, And his habitation they have made desolate.
79:8 Remember not for us the iniquities of forefathers, Haste, let Thy mercies go before us, For we have been very weak.
79:9 Help us, O God of our salvation, Because of the honour of Thy name, And deliver us, and cover over our sins, For Thy name's sake.
Psalm 79:10 Why do the nations say, `Where [is] their God?' Let be known among the nations before our eyes, The vengeance of the blood of Thy servants that is shed.
79:11 Let the groaning of the prisoner come in before Thee, According to the greatness of Thine arm, Leave Thou the sons of death.
79:12 And turn Thou back to our neighbours, Sevenfold unto their bosom, their reproach, Wherewith they reproached Thee, O Lord.
79:13 And we, Thy people, and the flock of Thy pasture, We give thanks to Thee to the age, To all generations we recount Thy praise!

PSALM CHAPTER 80

80:2 Before Ephraim, and Benjamin, and Manasseh, Wake up Thy might, and come for our salvation.
80:3 O God, cause us to turn back, And cause Thy face to shine, and we are saved.
80:4 YHWH, God of Hosts, till when? Thou hast burned against the prayer of Thy people.
80:5 Thou hast caused them to eat bread of tears, And causest them to drink With tears a third time.
80:6 Thou makest us a strife to our neighbors, And our enemies mock at it.
80:7 God of Hosts, turn us back, And cause Thy face to shine, and we are saved.
80:8 A vine out of Egypt Thou dost bring, Thou dost cast out nations, and plantest it.
80:9 Thou hast looked before it, and dost root it, And it filleth the land,
Psalm 80:10 Covered have been hills [with] its shadow, And its boughs [are] cedars of God.
80:11 It sendeth forth its branches unto the sea, And unto the river its sucklings.
80:12 Why hast Thou broken down its hedges, And all passing by the way have plucked it?
80:13 A boar out of the forest doth waste it, And a wild beast of the fields consumeth it.
80:14 God of Hosts, turn back, we beseech Thee, Look from heaven, and see, and inspect this vine,
80:15 And the root that Thy right hand planted, And the branch Thou madest strong for Thee,
80:16 Burnt with fire -- cut down, From the rebuke of Thy face they perish.
80:17 Let Thy hand be on the man of Thy right hand, On the son of man Thou hast strengthened for Thyself.
80:18 And we do not go back from Thee, Thou dost revive us, and in Thy name we call.
80:19 O YHWH, God of Hosts, turn us back, Cause Thy face to shine, and we are saved!

PSALM CHAPTER 81

Psalm 81:1 To the Overseer. -- `On the Gittith.' By Asaph. Cry aloud to God our strength, Shout to the God of Jacob.
81:2 Lift up a song, and give out a timbrel, A pleasant harp with psaltery.
81:3 Blow in the month a trumpet, In the new moon, at the day of our festival,
81:4 For a statute to Israel it [is], An ordinance of the God of Jacob.
81:5 A testimony on Joseph He hath placed it, In his going forth over the land of Egypt. A lip, I have not known -- I hear.
81:6 From the burden his shoulder I turned aside, His hands from the basket pass over.
81:7 In distress thou hast called and I deliver thee, I answer thee in the secret place of thunder, I try thee by the waters of Meribah. Selah.
81:8 Hear, O My people, and I testify to thee, O Israel, if thou dost hearken to me:
81:9 There is not in thee a strange god, And thou bowest not thyself to a strange god.
Psalm 81:10 I [am] YHWH thy God, Who bringeth thee up out of the land of Egypt. Enlarge thy mouth, and I fill it.
81:11 But, My people hearkened not to My voice, And Israel hath not consented to Me.
81:12 And I send them away in the enmity of their heart, They walk in their own counsels.
81:13 O that My people were hearkening to Me, Israel in My ways would walk.
81:14 As a little thing their enemies I cause to bow, And against their adversaries I turn back My hand,
81:15 Those hating YHWH feign obedience to Him, But their time is -- to the age.
81:16 He causeth him to eat of the fat of wheat, And [with] honey from a rock I satisfy thee!

PSALM CHAPTER 82

Psalm 82:1 -- A Psalm of Asaph. God hath stood in the company of God, In the midst God doth judge.
82:2 Till when do ye judge perversely? And the face of the wicked lift up? Selah.
82:3 Judge ye the weak and fatherless, The afflicted and the poor declare righteous.
82:4 Let the weak and needy escape, From the hand of the wicked deliver them.
82:5 They knew not, nor do they understand, In darkness they walk habitually, Moved are all the foundations of earth.
82:6 I -- I have said, `Gods ye [are], And sons of the Most High -- all of you,
82:7 But as man ye die, and as one of the heads ye fall,
82:8 Rise, O God, judge the earth, For Thou hast inheritance among all the nations!

PSALM CHAPTER 83

Psalm 83:1 A Song, -- A Psalm of Asaph. O God, let there be no silence to Thee, Be not silent, nor be quiet, O God.
83:2 For, lo, Thine enemies do roar, And those hating Thee have lifted up the head,
83:3 Against Thy people they take crafty counsel, And consult against Thy hidden ones.
83:4 They have said, `Come, And we cut them off from [being] a nation, And the name of Israel is not remembered any more.'
83:5 For they consulted in heart together, Against Thee a covenant they make,
83:6 Tents of Edom, and Ishmaelites, Moab, and the Hagarenes,
83:7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia with inhabitants of Tyre,
83:8 Asshur also is joined with them, They have been an arm to sons of Lot. Selah.
83:9 Do to them as [to] Midian, As [to] Sisera, as [to] Jabin, at the stream Kishon.
Psalm 83:10 They were destroyed at Endor, They were dung for the ground!
83:11 Make their nobles as Oreb and as Zeeb, And as Zebah and Zalmunna all their princes,
83:12 Who have said, `Let us occupy for ourselves The comely places of God.'
83:13 O my God, make them as a rolling thing, As stubble before wind.
83:14 As a fire doth burn a forest, And as a flame setteth hills on fire,
83:15 So dost Thou pursue them with Thy whirlwind, And with Thy hurricane troublest them.
83:16 Fill their faces [with] shame, And they seek Thy name, O YHWH.
83:17 They are ashamed and troubled for ever, Yea, they are confounded and lost.
83:18 And they know that Thou -- (Thy name [is] YHWH -- by Thyself,) [Art] the Most High over all the earth!

PSALM CHAPTER 84

Psalm 84:1 To the Overseer. -- `On the Gittith By sons of Korah.' -- A Psalm. How beloved Thy tabernacles, YHWH of Hosts!
84:2 My soul desired, yea, it hath also been consumed, For the courts of YHWH, My heart and my flesh cry aloud unto the living God,
84:3 (Even a sparrow hath found a house, And a swallow a nest for herself, Where she hath placed her brood,) Thine altars, O YHWH of Hosts, My king and my God.
84:4 O the happiness of those inhabiting Thy house, Yet do they praise Thee. Selah.
84:5 O the happiness of a man whose strength is in Thee, Highways [are] in their heart.
84:6 Those passing through a valley of weeping, A fountain do make it, Blessings also cover the director.
84:7 They go from strength unto strength, He appeareth unto God in Zion.
84:8 O YHWH, God of Hosts, hear my prayer, Give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.
84:9 Our shield, see, O God, And behold the face of Thine anointed,
Psalm 84:10 For good [is] a day in Thy courts, O Teacher! I have chosen rather to be at the threshold, In the house of my God, Than to dwell in tents of wickedness.
84:11 For a sun and a shield [is] YHWH God, Grace and honour doth YHWH give. He withholdeth not good To those walking in uprightness.
84:12 YHWH of Hosts! O the happiness of a man trusting in Thee.

85:2 Thou hast borne away the iniquity of Thy people, Thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.
85:3 Thou hast gathered up all Thy wrath, Thou hast turned back from the fierceness of Thine anger.
85:4 Turn back [to] us, O God of our salvation, And make void Thine anger with us.
85:5 To the age art Thou angry against us? Dost Thou draw out Thine anger To generation and generation?
85:6 Dost Thou not turn back? Thou revivest us, And Thy people do rejoice in Thee.
85:7 Show us, O YHWH, thy kindness, And Thy salvation Thou dost give to us.
85:8 I hear what God YHWH speaketh, For He speaketh peace unto His people, And unto His saints, and they turn not back to folly.
85:9 Only, near to those fearing Him [is] His salvation, That honour may dwell in our land.
Psalm 85:10 Kindness and truth have met, Righteousness and peace have kissed,
85:11 Truth from the earth springeth up, And righteousness from heaven looketh out,
85:12 YHWH also giveth that which is good, And our land doth give its increase.
85:13 Righteousness before Him goeth, And maketh His footsteps for a way!

PSALM CHAPTER 86

86:3 Favour me, O Lord, for to Thee I call all the day.
86:4 Rejoice the soul of Thy servant, For unto Thee, O Lord, my soul I lift up.

86:7 In a day of my distress I call Thee, For Thou dost answer me.
86:8 There is none like Thee among the gods, O Lord, And like Thy works there are none.
86:9 All nations that Thou hast made Come and bow themselves before Thee, O Lord, And give honour to Thy name.
Psalm 86:10 For great [art] Thou, and doing wonders, Thou [art] God Thyself alone.
86:11 Show me, O YHWH, Thy way, I walk in Thy truth, My heart doth rejoice to fear Thy name.
86:12 I confess Thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I honour Thy name to the age.
86:13 For Thy kindness [is] great toward me, And Thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.
86:14 O God, the proud have risen up against me, And a company of the terrible sought my soul, And have not placed Thee before them,
86:15 And Thou, O Lord, [art] God, merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness and truth.
86:16 Look unto me, and favour me, Give Thy strength to Thy servant, And give salvation to a son of Thine handmaid.
86:17 Do with me a sign for good, And those hating me see and are ashamed, For Thou, O YHWH, hast helped me, Yea, Thou hast comforted me!

87:5 And of Zion it is said: Each one was born in her, And He, the Most High, doth establish her.

87:7 Singers also as players on instruments, All my fountains [are] in Thee!

PSALM CHAPTER 88

Psalm 88:1 A Song, a Psalm, by sons of Korah, to the Overseer, `Concerning the Sickness of Afflictions.' -- An instruction, by Heman the Ezrahite. O YHWH, God of my salvation, Daily I have cried, nightly before Thee,
88:2 My prayer cometh in before Thee, Incline Thine ear to my loud cry,
88:3 For my soul hath been full of evils, And my life hath come to Sheol.
88:4 I have been reckoned with those going down [to] the pit, I have been as a man without strength.
88:5 Among the dead -- free, As pierced ones lying in the grave, Whom Thou hast not remembered any more, Yea, they by Thy hand have been cut off.
88:6 Thou hast put me in the lowest pit, In dark places, in depths.
88:7 Upon me hath Thy fury lain, And [with] all Thy breakers Thou hast afflicted. Selah.
88:8 Thou hast put mine acquaintance far from me, Thou hast made me an abomination to them, Shut up -- I go not forth.
88:9 Mine eye hath grieved because of affliction, I called Thee, O YHWH, all the day, I have spread out unto Thee my hands.
Psalm 88:10 To the dead dost Thou do wonders? Do Rephaim rise? do they thank Thee? Selah.
88:11 Is Thy kindness recounted in the grave? Thy faithfulness in destruction?
88:12 Are Thy wonders known in the darkness? And Thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
88:13 And I, unto Thee, O YHWH, I have cried, And in the morning doth my prayer come before Thee.
88:14 Why, O YHWH, castest Thou off my soul? Thou hidest Thy face from me.
88:15 I [am] afflicted, and expiring from youth, I have borne Thy terrors -- I pine away.
88:16 Over me hath Thy wrath passed, Thy terrors have cut me off,
88:17 They have surrounded me as waters all the day, They have gone round against me together,
88:18 Thou hast put far from me lover and friend, Mine acquaintance [is] the place of darkness!

PSALM CHAPTER 89

Psalm 89:1 An instruction, by Ethan the Ezrahite. Of the kind acts of YHWH, to the age I sing, To all generations I make known Thy faithfulness with my mouth,
89:2 For I said, `To the age is kindness built, The heavens! Thou dost establish Thy faithfulness in them.'
89:3 I have made a covenant for My chosen, I have sworn to David My servant:
89:4 `Even to the age do I establish thy seed, And have built to generation and generation thy throne. Selah.
89:5 and the heavens confess Thy wonders, O YHWH, Thy faithfulness also [is] in an assembly of holy ones.
89:6 For who in the sky, Compareth himself to YHWH? Is like to YHWH among sons of the mighty?
89:7 God is very terrible, In the secret counsel of His holy ones, And fearful over all surrounding Him.
89:8 O YHWH, God of Hosts, Who [is] like Thee -- a strong Jah? And Thy faithfulness [is] round about Thee.
89:9 Thou [art] ruler over the pride of the sea, In the lifting up of its billows Thou dost restrain them.
Psalm 89:10 Thou hast bruised Rahab, as one wounded. With the arm of Thy strength Thou hast scattered Thine enemies.
89:11 Thine [are] the heavens -- the earth also [is] Thine, The habitable world and its fulness, Thou hast founded them.
89:12 North and south Thou hast appointed them, Tabor and Hermon in Thy name do sing.
89:13 Thou hast an arm with might, Strong is Thy hand -- high Thy right hand.
89:14 Righteousness and judgment [Are] the fixed place of Thy throne, Kindness and truth go before Thy face.
89:15 O the happiness of the people knowing the shout, O YHWH, in the light of Thy face they walk habitually.
89:16 In Thy name they rejoice all the day, And in Thy righteousness they are exalted,
89:17 For the beauty of their strength [art] Thou, And in Thy good will is our horn exalted,
89:18 For of YHWH [is] our shield, And of the Holy One of Israel our king.
89:19 Then Thou hast spoken in vision, To Thy saint, yea, Thou sayest, I have placed help upon a mighty one, Exalted a chosen one out of the people,
Psalm 89:20 I have found David My servant, With My holy oil I have anointed him.
89:21 With whom My hand is established, My arm also doth strengthen him.
89:22 An enemy exacteth not upon him, And a son of perverseness afflicteth him not.
89:23 And I have beaten down before him his adversaries, And those hating him I plague,
89:24 And My faithfulness and kindness [are] with him, And in My name is his horn exalted.
89:25 And I have set on the sea his hand, And on the rivers his right hand.
89:26 He proclaimeth me: `Thou [art] my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation.'
89:27 I also first-born do appoint him, Highest of the kings of the earth.
89:28 To the age I keep for him My kindness, And My covenant [is] stedfast with him.
89:29 And I have set his seed for ever, And his throne as the days of the heavens.
Psalm 89:30 If his sons forsake My law, And in My judgments do not walk;
89:31 If My statutes they pollute, And My commands do not keep,
89:32 I have looked after with a rod their transgression, And with strokes their iniquity,
89:33 And My kindness I break not from him, Nor do I deal falsely in My faithfulness.
89:34 I profane not My covenant, And that which is going forth from My lips I change not.
89:35 Once I have sworn by My holiness, I lie not to David,
89:36 His seed is to the age, And his throne [is] as the sun before Me,
89:37 As the moon it is established -- to the age, And the witness in the sky is stedfast. Selah.
89:38 And Thou, Thou hast cast off, and dost reject, Thou hast shown Thyself wroth With Thine anointed,
89:39 Hast rejected the covenant of Thy servant, Thou hast polluted to the earth his crown,
Psalm 89:40 Thou hast broken down all his hedges, Thou hast made his fenced places a ruin.
89:41 Spoiled him have all passing by the way, He hath been a reproach to his neighbours,
89:42 Thou hast exalted the right hand of his adversaries, Thou hast caused all his enemies to rejoice.
89:43 Also -- Thou turnest back the sharpness of his sword, And hast not established him in battle,
89:44 Hast caused [him] to cease from his brightness, And his throne to the earth hast cast down.
89:45 Thou hast shortened the days of his youth, Hast covered him over [with] shame. Selah.
89:46 Till when, O YHWH, art Thou hidden? For ever doth Thy fury burn as fire?
89:47 Remember, I pray Thee, what [is] life-time? Wherefore in vain hast Thou created All the sons of men?
89:48 Who [is] the man that liveth, and doth not see death? He delivereth his soul from the hand of Sheol. Selah.
89:49 Where [are] Thy former kindnesses, O Lord. Thou hast sworn to David in Thy faithfulness,
Psalm 89:50 Remember, O Lord, the reproach of Thy servants, I have borne in my bosom all the strivings of the peoples,
89:51 Wherewith Thine enemies reproached, O YHWH, Wherewith they have reproached The steps of Thine anointed.
89:52 Blessed [is] YHWH to the age. Amen, and amen!

PSALM CHAPTER 90

Psalm 90:1 A Prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, a habitation Thou -- Thou hast been, To us -- in generation and generation,
90:2 Before mountains were brought forth, And Thou dost form the earth and the world, Even from age unto age Thou [art] God.
90:3 Thou turnest man unto a bruised thing, And sayest, Turn back, ye sons of men.
90:4 For a thousand years in Thine eyes [are] as yesterday, For it passeth on, yea, a watch by night.
90:5 Thou hast inundated them, they are asleep, In the morning as grass he changeth.
90:6 In the morning it flourisheth, and hath changed, At evening it is cut down, and hath withered.
90:7 For we were consumed in Thine anger, And in Thy fury we have been troubled.
90:8 Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee, Our hidden things at the light of Thy face,
90:9 For all our days pined away in Thy wrath, We consumed our years as a meditation.
Psalm 90:10 Days of our years, in them [are] seventy years, And if, by reason of might, eighty years, Yet [is] their enlargement labour and vanity, For it hath been cut off hastily, and we fly away.
90:11 Who knoweth the power of Thine anger? And according to Thy fear -- Thy wrath?
90:12 To number our days aright let [us] know, And we bring the heart to wisdom.
90:13 Turn back, O YHWH, till when? And repent concerning Thy servants.
90:14 Satisfy us at morn [with] Thy kindness, And we sing and rejoice all our days.
90:15 Cause us to rejoice according to the days Wherein Thou hast afflicted us, The years we have seen evil.
90:16 Let Thy work appear unto Thy servants, And Thine honour on their sons.
90:17 And let the pleasantness of YHWH our God be upon us, And the work of our hands establish on us, Yea, the work of our hands establish it!

PSALM CHAPTER 91

Psalm 91:1 He who is dwelling In the secret place of the Most High, In the shade of the Mighty lodgeth habitually,
91:2 He is saying of YHWH, `My refuge, and my bulwark, my God, I trust in Him,'
91:3 For He delivereth thee from the snare of a fowler, From a calamitous pestilence.
91:4 With His pinion He covereth thee over, And under His wings thou dost trust, A shield and buckler [is] His truth.
91:5 Thou art not afraid of fear by night, Of arrow that flieth by day,
91:6 Of pestilence in thick darkness that walketh, Of destruction that destroyeth at noon,
91:7 There fall at thy side a thousand, And a myriad at thy right hand, Unto thee it cometh not nigh.
91:8 But with thine eyes thou lookest, And the reward of the wicked thou seest,
91:9 (For Thou, O YHWH, [art] my refuge,) The Most High thou madest thy habitation.
Psalm 91:10 Evil happeneth not unto thee, And a plague cometh not near thy tent,
91:11 For His messengers He chargeth for thee, To keep thee in all thy ways,
91:12 On the hands they bear thee up, Lest thou smite against a stone thy foot.
91:13 On lion and asp thou treadest, Thou trampest young lion and dragon.
91:14 Because in Me he hath delighted, I also deliver him -- I set him on high, Because he hath known My name.
91:15 He doth call Me, and I answer him, I [am] with him in distress, I deliver him, and honour him.
91:16 With length of days I satisfy him, And I cause him to look on My salvation!

PSALM CHAPTER 92

92:2 To declare in the morning Thy kindness, And Thy faithfulness in the nights.
92:3 On ten strings and on psaltery, On higgaion, with harp.
92:4 For Thou hast caused me to rejoice, O YHWH, in Thy work, Concerning the works of Thy hands I sing.
92:5 How great have been Thy works, O YHWH, Very deep have been Thy thoughts.
92:6 A brutish man doth not know, And a fool understandeth not this; --
92:7 When the wicked flourish as a herb, And blossom do all workers of iniquity -- For their being destroyed for ever and ever!
92:8 And Thou [art] high to the age, O YHWH.
92:9 For, lo, Thine enemies, O YHWH, For, lo, Thine enemies, do perish, Separate themselves do all workers of iniquity.
Psalm 92:10 And Thou exaltest as a reem my horn, I have been anointed with fresh oil.
92:11 And mine eye looketh on mine enemies, Of those rising up against me, The evil doers, do mine ears hear.
92:12 The righteous as a palm-tree flourisheth, As a cedar in Lebanon he groweth.
92:13 Those planted in the house of YHWH, In the courts of our God do flourish.

92:15 To declare that upright [is] YHWH my rock, And there is no perverseness in Him!

94:4 They utter -- they speak an old saw, All working iniquity do boast themselves.
94:5 Thy people, O YHWH, they bruise, And Thine inheritance they afflict.
94:6 Widow and sojourner they slay, And fatherless ones they murder.

94:13 To give rest to him from days of evil, While a pit is digged for the wicked.
94:14 For YHWH leaveth not His people, And His inheritance forsaketh not.
94:15 For to righteousness judgment turneth back, And after it all the upright of heart,
94:16 Who riseth up for me with evil doers? Who stationeth himself for me with workers of iniquity?
94:17 Unless YHWH [were] a help to me, My soul had almost inhabited silence.
94:18 If I have said, `My foot hath slipped,' Thy kindness, O YHWH, supporteth me.
94:19 In the abundance of my thoughts within me, Thy comforts delight my soul.
Psalm 94:20 Is a throne of mischief joined [with] Thee? A framer of perverseness by statute?
94:21 They decree against the soul of the righteous, And innocent blood declare wicked.
94:22 And YHWH is for a high place to me, And my God [is] for a rock -- my refuge,
94:23 And turneth back on them their iniquity, And in their wickedness cutteth them off; YHWH our God doth cut them off!

102:3 For consumed in smoke have been my days, And my bones as a fire-brand have burned.
102:4 Smitten as the herb, and withered, is my heart, For I have forgotten to eat my bread.
102:5 From the voice of my sighing Hath my bone cleaved to my flesh.
102:6 I have been like to a pelican of the wilderness, I have been as an owl of the dry places.
102:7 I have watched, and I am As a bird alone on the roof.

102:9 Because ashes as bread I have eaten, And my drink with weeping have mingled,
Psalm 102:10 From Thine indignation and Thy wrath, For Thou hast lifted me up, And dost cast me down.
102:11 My days as a shadow [are] stretched out, And I -- as the herb I am withered.
102:12 And Thou, O YHWH, to the age abidest, And Thy memorial to all generations.
102:13 Thou -- Thou risest -- Thou pitiest Zion, For the time to favour her, For the appointed time hath come.
102:14 For Thy servants have been pleased with her stones, And her dust they favour.
102:15 And nations fear the name of YHWH, And all kings of the earth Thine honour,

102:26 They -- They perish, and Thou remainest, And all of them as a garment become old, As clothing Thou changest them, And they are changed.

Psalm 104:1 Bless, O my soul, YHWH! YHWH, my God, Thou hast been very great, Honour and majesty Thou hast put on.
104:2 Covering himself [with] light as a garment, Stretching out the heavens as a curtain,
104:3 Who is laying the beam of His upper chambers in the waters, Who is making thick clouds His chariot, Who is walking on wings of wind,
104:4 Making His messengers -- the winds, His ministers -- the flaming fire.
104:5 He hath founded earth on its bases, It is not moved to the age and for ever.
104:6 The abyss! as with clothing Thou hast covered it, Above hills do waters stand.
104:7 From Thy rebuke they flee, From the voice of Thy thunder haste away.
104:8 They go up hills -- they go down valleys, Unto a place Thou hast founded for them.
104:9 A border Thou hast set, they pass not over, They turn not back to cover the earth.
Psalm 104:10 Who is sending forth fountains in valleys, Between hills they go on.
104:11 They water every beast of the field, Wild asses break their thirst.
104:12 By them the fowl of the heavens doth dwell, From between the branches They give forth the voice.
104:13 Watering hills from His upper chambers, From the fruit of Thy works is the earth satisfied.
104:14 Causing grass to spring up for cattle, And herb for the service of man, To bring forth bread from the earth,
104:15 And wine -- it rejoiceth the heart of man, To cause the face to shine from oil, And bread -- the heart of man it supporteth.
104:16 Satisfied [are] the trees of YHWH, Cedars of Lebanon that He hath planted,
104:17 Where birds do make nests, The stork -- the firs [are] her house.
104:18 The high hills [are] for wild goats, Rocks [are] a refuge for conies,
104:19 He made the moon for seasons, The sun hath known his place of entrance.
Psalm 104:20 Thou settest darkness, and it is night, In it doth every beast of the forest creep.
104:21 The young lions are roaring for prey, And to seek from God their food.
104:22 The sun riseth, they are gathered, And in their dens they crouch.
104:23 Man goeth forth to his work, And to his service -- till evening.
104:24 How many have been Thy works, O YHWH, All of them in wisdom Thou hast made, Full is the earth of thy possessions.
104:25 This, the sea, great and broad of sides, There [are] moving things -- innumerable, Living creatures -- small with great.
104:26 There do ships go: leviathan, That Thou hast formed to play in it.
104:27 All of them unto Thee do look, To give their food in its season.
104:28 Thou dost give to them -- they gather, Thou dost open Thy hand -- they [are] satisfied [with] good.
104:29 Thou hidest Thy face -- they are troubled, Thou gatherest their spirit -- they expire, And unto their dust they turn back.

105:19 Till the time of the coming of His word The saying of YHWH hath tried him.
Psalm 105:20 The king hath sent, and looseth him, The ruler of the peoples, and draweth him out.
105:21 He hath made him lord of his house, And ruler over all his possessions.
105:22 To bind his chiefs at his pleasure, And his elders he maketh wise.
105:23 And Israel cometh in to Egypt, And Jacob hath sojourned in the land of Ham.
105:24 And He maketh His people very fruitful, And maketh it mightier than its adversaries.
105:25 He turned their heart to hate His people, To conspire against His servants.
105:26 He hath sent Moses His servant, Aaron whom He had fixed on.
105:27 They have set among them the matters of His signs, And wonders in the land of Ham.
105:28 He hath sent darkness, and it is dark, And they have not provoked His word.
105:29 He hath turned their waters to blood, And putteth to death their fish.
Psalm 105:30 Teemed hath their land [with] frogs, In the inner chambers of their kings.
105:31 He hath said, and the beetle cometh, Lice into all their border.
105:32 He hath made their showers hail, A flaming fire [is] in their land.
105:33 And He smiteth their vine and their fig, And shivereth the trees of their border.
105:34 He hath said, and the locust cometh, And the cankerworm -- innumerable,
105:35 And it consumeth every herb in their land, And it consumeth the fruit of their ground.
105:36 And He smiteth every first-born in their land, The first-fruit of all their strength,
105:37 And bringeth them out with silver and gold, And there is not in its tribes a feeble one.
105:38 Rejoiced hath Egypt in their going forth, For their fear had fallen upon them.
105:39 He hath spread a cloud for a covering, And fire to enlighten the night.
Psalm 105:40 They have asked, and He bringeth quails, And [with] bread of heaven satisfieth them.
105:41 He hath opened a rock, and waters issue, They have gone on in dry places -- a river.
105:42 For He hath remembered His holy word, With Abraham His servant,
105:43 And He bringeth forth His people with joy, With singing His chosen ones.
105:44 And He giveth to them the lands of nations, And the labour of peoples they possess,
105:45 That they may observe His statutes, And His laws may keep. Praise ye YHWH!

PSALM CHAPTER 106

Psalm 106:1 Praise ye Jah, give thanks to YHWH, For good, for to the age, [is] His kindness.
106:2 Who doth utter the mighty acts of YHWH? Soundeth all His praise?
106:3 O the happiness of those keeping judgment, Doing righteousness at all times.
106:4 Remember me, O YHWH, With the favour of Thy people, Look after me in Thy salvation.
106:5 To look on the good of Thy chosen ones, To rejoice in the joy of Thy nation, To boast myself with Thine inheritance.
106:6 We have sinned with our fathers, We have done perversely, we have done wickedly.
106:7 Our fathers in Egypt, Have not considered wisely Thy wonders, They have not remembered The abundance of Thy kind acts, And provoke by the sea, at the sea of Suph.
106:8 And He saveth them for His name's sake, To make known His might,
106:9 And rebuketh the sea of Suph, and it is dried up, And causeth them to go Through depths as a wilderness.
Psalm 106:10 And He saveth them from the hand Of him who is hating, And redeemeth them from the hand of the enemy.
106:11 And waters cover their adversaries, One of them hath not been left.
106:12 And they believe in His words, they sing His praise,
106:13 They have hasted -- forgotten His works, They have not waited for His counsel.
106:14 And they lust greatly in a wilderness, And try God in a desert.
106:15 And He giveth to them their request, And sendeth leanness into their soul.
106:16 And they are envious of Moses in the camp, Of Aaron, YHWH's holy one.
106:17 Earth openeth, and swalloweth up Dathan, And covereth over the company of Abiram.
106:18 And fire burneth among their company, A flame setteth on fire the wicked.
106:19 They make a calf in Horeb, And bow themselves to a molten image,
Psalm 106:20 And change their Honour Into the form of an ox eating herbs.
106:21 They have forgotten God their saviour, The doer of great things in Egypt,
106:22 Of wonderful things in the land of Ham, Of fearful things by the sea of Suph.
106:23 And He saith to destroy them, Unless Moses, His chosen one, Had stood in the breach before Him, To turn back His wrath from destroying.
106:24 And they kick against the desirable land, They have not given credence to His word.
106:25 And they murmur in their tents, They have not hearkened to the voice of YHWH.
106:26 And He lifteth up His hand to them, To cause them to fall in a wilderness,
106:27 And to cause their seed to fall among nations, And to scatter them through lands.
106:28 And they are coupled to Baal-Peor, And eat the sacrifices of the dead,
106:29 And they provoke to anger by their actions, And a plague breaketh forth upon them,
Psalm 106:30 And Phinehas standeth, and executeth judgment, And the plague is restrained,
106:31 And it is reckoned to him to righteousness, To all generations -- unto the age.
106:32 And they cause wrath by the waters of Meribah, And it is evil to Moses for their sakes,
106:33 For they have provoked his spirit, And he speaketh wrongfully with his lips.
106:34 They have not destroyed the peoples, As YHWH had said to them,
106:35 And mix themselves among nations, and learn their works,
106:36 And serve their idols, And they are to them for a snare.
106:37 And they sacrifice their sons And their daughters to destroyers,
106:38 And they shed innocent blood -- Blood of their sons and of their daughters, Whom they have sacrificed to idols of Canaan, And the land is profaned with blood.
106:39 And they are defiled with their works, And commit whoredom in their habitual doings.
Psalm 106:40 And the anger of YHWH Is kindled against His people, And He doth abominate His inheritance.
106:41 And giveth them into the hand of nations, And those hating them rule over them,
106:42 And their enemies oppress them, And they are humbled under their hand.
106:43 Many times He doth deliver them, And they rebel in their counsel, And they are brought low in their iniquity.
106:44 And He looketh on their distress When He heareth their cry,
106:45 And remembereth for them His covenant, And is comforted, According to the abundance of His kindness.
106:46 And He appointeth them for mercies Before all their captors.
106:47 Save us, O YHWH our God, and gather us from the nations, To give thanks to Thy holy name, To glory in Thy praise.
106:48 Blessed [is] YHWH, God of Israel, From the age even unto the age. And all the people said, `Amen, praise Jah!'

PSALM CHAPTER 107

Psalm 107:1 `Give ye thanks to YHWH, For good, for to the age [is] His kindness:'
107:2 Let the redeemed of YHWH say, Whom He redeemed from the hand of an adversary.
107:3 And from the lands hath gathered them, From east and from west, From north, and from the sea.
107:4 They wandered in a wilderness, in a desert by the way, A city of habitation they have not found.
107:5 Hungry -- yea -- thirsty, Their soul in them becometh feeble,
107:6 And they cry unto YHWH in their adversity, From their distress He delivereth them,
107:7 And causeth them to tread in a right way, To go unto a city of habitation.
107:8 They confess to YHWH His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men.
107:9 For He hath satisfied a longing soul, And a hungry soul hath filled [with] goodness.
Psalm 107:10 Inhabitants of dark places and death-shade, Prisoners of affliction and of iron,
107:11 Because they changed the saying of God, And the counsel of the Most High despised.
107:12 And He humbleth with labour their heart, They have been feeble, and there is no helper.
107:13 And they cry unto YHWH in their adversity, From their distresses He saveth them.
107:14 He bringeth them out from the dark place, And death-shade, And their bands He draweth away.
107:15 They confess to YHWH His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men.
107:16 For He hath broken doors of brass, And bars of iron He hath cut.
107:17 Fools, by means of their transgression, And by their iniquities, afflict themselves.
107:18 All food doth their soul abominate, And they come nigh unto the gates of death,
107:19 And cry unto YHWH in their adversity, From their distresses He saveth them,
Psalm 107:20 He sendeth His word and healeth them, And delivereth from their destructions.
107:21 They confess to YHWH His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men,
107:22 And they sacrifice sacrifices of thanksgiving, And recount His works with singing.
107:23 Those going down [to] the sea in ships, Doing business in many waters,
107:24 They have seen the works of YHWH, And His wonders in the deep.
107:25 And He saith, and appointeth a tempest, And it lifteth up its billows,
107:26 They go up [to] the heavens, they go down [to] the depths, Their soul in evil is melted.
107:27 They reel to and fro, and move as a drunkard, And all their wisdom is swallowed up.
107:28 And they cry to YHWH in their adversity, And from their distresses He bringeth them out.
107:29 He establisheth a whirlwind to a calm, And hushed are their billows.
Psalm 107:30 And they rejoice because they are quiet, And He leadeth them to the haven of their desire.
107:31 They confess to YHWH His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men,
107:32 And they exalt Him in the assembly of the people, And in the seat of the elders praise Him.
107:33 He maketh rivers become a wilderness, And fountains of waters become dry land.
107:34 A fruitful land becometh a barren place, For the wickedness of its inhabitants.
107:35 He maketh a wilderness become a pool of water, And a dry land become fountains of waters.
107:36 And He causeth the hungry to dwell there, And they prepare a city of habitation.
107:37 And they sow fields, and plant vineyards, And they make fruits of increase.
107:38 And He blesseth them, and they multiply exceedingly, And their cattle He doth not diminish.
107:39 And they are diminished, and bow down, By restraint, evil, and sorrow.
107:40 He is pouring contempt upon nobles, And causeth them to wander in vacancy -- no way.
107:41 And setteth on high the needy from affliction, And placeth families as a flock.
107:42 The upright do see and rejoice, And all perversity hath shut her mouth.
107:43 Who [is] wise, and observeth these? They understand the kind acts of YHWH!

PSALM CHAPTER 108

Psalm 108:1 A Song, a Psalm of David. Prepared is my heart, O God, I sing, yea, I sing praise, also my honour.
108:2 Awake, psaltery and harp, I awake the dawn.
108:3 I thank Thee among peoples, O YHWH, And I praise Thee among the nations.
108:4 For great above the heavens [is] Thy kindness, And unto the clouds Thy truth.
108:5 Be Thou exalted above the heavens, O God, And above all the earth Thy honour.
108:6 That Thy beloved ones may be delivered, Save [with] Thy right hand, and answer us.
108:7 God hath spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure,
108:8 Mine [is] Gilead, mine [is] Manasseh, And Ephraim [is] the strength of my head, Judah [is] my lawgiver,
108:9 Moab [is] a pot for my washing, Upon Edom I cast my shoe, Over Philistia I shout habitually.
Psalm 108:10 Who doth bring me in to the fenced city? Who hath led me unto Edom?
108:11 Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not out, O God, with our hosts!
108:12 Give to us help from adversity, And vain is the salvation of man.
108:13 In God we do mightily, And He doth tread down our adversaries!

PSALM CHAPTER 109

Psalm 109:1 To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. O God of my praise, be not silent,
109:2 For the mouth of wickedness, and the mouth of deceit, Against me they have opened, They have spoken with me -- A tongue of falsehood, and words of hatred!
109:3 They have compassed me about, And they fight me without cause.
109:4 For my love they oppose me, and I -- prayer!
109:5 And they set against me evil for good, And hatred for my love.
109:6 Appoint Thou over him the wicked, And an adversary standeth at his right hand.
109:7 In his being judged, he goeth forth wicked, And his prayer is for sin.
109:8 His days are few, his oversight another taketh,
109:9 His sons are fatherless, and his wife a widow.
Psalm 109:10 And wander continually do his sons, Yea, they have begged, And have sought out of their dry places.
109:11 An exactor layeth a snare for all that he hath, And strangers spoil his labour.
109:12 He hath none to extend kindness, Nor is there one showing favour to his orphans.
109:13 His posterity is for cutting off, In another generation is their name blotted out.
109:14 The iniquity of his fathers Is remembered unto YHWH, And the sin of his mother is not blotted out.
109:15 They are before YHWH continually, And He cutteth off from earth their memorial.
109:16 Because that he hath not remembered to do kindness, And pursueth the poor man and needy, And the smitten of heart -- to slay,
109:17 And he loveth reviling, and it meeteth him, And he hath not delighted in blessing, And it is far from him.
109:18 And he putteth on reviling as his robe, And it cometh in as water into his midst, And as oil into his bones.
109:19 It is to him as apparel -- he covereth himself, And for a continual girdle he girdeth it on.
Psalm 109:20 This [is] the wage of mine accusers from YHWH, And of those speaking evil against my soul.
109:21 And Thou, O YHWH Lord, Deal with me for Thy name's sake, Because Thy kindness [is] good, deliver me.
109:22 For I [am] poor and needy, And my heart hath been pierced in my midst.
109:23 As a shadow when it is stretched out I have gone, I have been driven away as a locust.
109:24 My knees have been feeble from fasting, And my flesh hath failed of fatness.
109:25 And I -- I have been a reproach to them, They see me, they shake their head.
109:26 Help me, O YHWH my God, Save me, according to Thy kindness.
109:27 And they know that this [is] Thy hand, Thou, O YHWH, Thou hast done it.
109:28 They revile, and Thou dost bless, They have risen, and are ashamed, And Thy servant doth rejoice.
109:29 Mine accusers put on blushing, and are covered, As an upper robe [is] their shame.
Psalm 109:30 I thank YHWH greatly with my mouth, And in the midst of many I praise Him,
109:31 For He standeth at the right hand of the needy, To save from those judging his soul.

PSALM CHAPTER 110

Psalm 110:1 A Psalm of David. The affirmation of YHWH to my Lord: `Sit at My right hand, Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.'
110:2 The rod of thy strength doth YHWH send from Zion, Rule in the midst of thine enemies.
110:3 Thy people [are] free-will gifts in the day of Thy strength, in the honours of holiness, From the womb, from the morning, Thou hast the dew of thy youth.
110:4 YHWH hath sworn, and doth not repent, `Thou [art] a priest to the age, According to the order of Melchizedek.'
110:5 The Lord on thy right hand smote kings In the day of His anger.
110:6 He doth judge among the nations, He hath completed the carcases, Hath smitten the head over the mighty earth.
110:7 From a brook in the way he drinketh, Therefore he doth lift up the head!
