^96:1Oh sing unto Jehovah a new song: Sing unto Jehovah, all the earth. ^96:2Sing unto Jehovah, bless his name; Show forth his salvation from day to day. ^96:3Declare his glory among the nations, His marvellous works among all the peoples. ^96:4For great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised: He is to be feared above all gods. ^96:5For all the gods of the peoples are idols; But Jehovah made the heavens. ^96:6Honor and majesty are before him: Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary. ^96:7Ascribe unto Jehovah, ye kindreds of the peoples, Ascribe unto Jehovah glory and strength. ^96:8Ascribe unto Jehovah the glory due unto his name: Bring an offering, and come into his courts. ^96:9Oh worship Jehovah in holy array: Tremble before him, all the earth. ^96:10Say among the nations, Jehovah reigneth: The world also is established that it cannot be moved: He will judge the peoples with equity. ^96:11Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; ^96:12Let the field exult, and all that is therein; Then shall all the trees of the wood sing for joy ^96:13Before Jehovah; for he cometh, For he cometh to judge the earth: He will judge the world with righteousness, And the peoples with his truth. Psalm 97

^97:1Jehovah reigneth; let the earth rejoice; Let the multitude of isles be glad. ^97:2Clouds and darkness are round about him: Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne. ^97:3A fire goeth before him, And burneth up his adversaries round about. ^97:4His lightnings lightened the world: The earth saw, and trembled. ^97:5The mountains melted like wax at the presence of Jehovah, At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. ^97:6The heavens declare his righteousness, And all the peoples have seen his glory. ^97:7Let all them be put to shame that serve graven images, That boast themselves of idols: Worship him, all ye gods. ^97:8Zion heard and was glad, And the daughters of Judah rejoiced, Because of thy judgments, O Jehovah. ^97:9For thou, Jehovah, art most high above all the earth: Thou art exalted far above all gods. ^97:10O ye that love Jehovah, hate evil: He preserveth the souls of his saints; He delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked. ^97:11Light is sown for the righteous, And gladness for the upright in heart. ^97:12Be glad in Jehovah, ye righteous; And give thanks to his holy memorial [name]. Psalm 98 A Psalm.

^98:1Oh sing unto Jehovah a new song; For he hath done marvellous things: His right hand, and his holy arm, hath wrought salvation for him. ^98:2Jehovah hath made known his salvation: His righteousness hath he openly showed in the sight of the nations. ^98:3He hath remembered his lovingkindness and his faithfulness toward the house of Israel: All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. ^98:4Make a joyful noise unto Jehovah, all the earth: Break forth and sing for joy, yea, sing praises. ^98:5Sing praises unto Jehovah with the harp; With the harp and the voice of melody. ^98:6With trumpets and sound of cornet Make a joyful noise before the King, Jehovah. ^98:7Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; The world, and they that dwell therein; ^98:8Let the floods clap their hands; Let the hills sing for joy together ^98:9Before Jehovah; for he cometh to judge the earth: He will judge the world with righteousness, And the peoples with equity. Psalm 99

^99:1Jehovah reigneth; let the peoples tremble: He sitteth [above] the cherubim; let the earth be moved. ^99:2Jehovah is great in Zion; And he is high above all the peoples. ^99:3Let them praise thy great and terrible name: Holy is he. ^99:4The king`s strength also loveth justice; Thou dost establish equity; Thou executest justice and righteousness in Jacob. ^99:5Exalt ye Jehovah our God, And worship at his footstool: Holy is he. ^99:6Moses and Aaron among his priests, And Samuel among them that call upon his name; They called upon Jehovah, and he answered them. ^99:7He spake unto them in the pillar of cloud: They kept his testimonies, And the statute that he gave them. ^99:8Thou answeredst them, O Jehovah our God: Thou wast a God that forgavest them, Though thou tookest vengeance of their doings. ^99:9Exalt ye Jehovah our God, And worship at his holy hill; For Jehovah our God is holy. Psalm 100 A Psalm of thanksgiving.

^100:1Make a joyful noise unto Jehovah, all ye lands. ^100:2Serve Jehovah with gladness: Come before his presence with singing. ^100:3Know ye that Jehovah, he is God: It is he that hath made us, and we are his; We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. ^100:4Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, And into his courts with praise: Give thanks unto him, and bless his name. ^100:5For Jehovah is good; his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever, And his faithfulness unto all generations. Psalm 101 A Psalm of David.

^101:1I will sing of lovingkindness and justice: Unto thee, O Jehovah, will I sing praises. ^101:2I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way: Oh when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart. ^101:3I will set no base thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; It shall not cleave unto me. ^101:4A perverse heart shall depart from me: I will know no evil thing. ^101:5Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I destroy: Him that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not suffer. ^101:6Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: He that walketh in a perfect way, he shall minister unto me. ^101:7He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: He that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes. ^101:8Morning by morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land; To cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of Jehovah. Psalm 102 A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and poureth out his complaint before Jehovah.

^102:1Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, And let my cry come unto thee. ^102:2Hide not thy face from me in the day of my distress: Incline thine ear unto me; In the day when I call answer me speedily. ^102:3For my days consume away like smoke, And my bones are burned as a firebrand. ^102:4My heart is smitten like grass, and withered; For I forget to eat my bread. ^102:5By reason of the voice of my groaning My bones cleave to my flesh. ^102:6I am like a pelican of the wilderness; I am become as an owl of the waste places. ^102:7I watch, and am become like a sparrow That is alone upon the house-top. ^102:8Mine enemies reproach me all the day; They that are mad against me do curse by me. ^102:9For I have eaten ashes like bread, And mingled my drink with weeping, ^102:10Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: For thou hast taken me up, and cast me away. ^102:11My days are like a shadow that declineth; And I am withered like grass. ^102:12But thou, O Jehovah, wilt abide for ever; And thy memorial [name] unto all generations. ^102:13Thou wilt arise, and have mercy upon Zion; For it is time to have pity upon her, Yea, the set time is come. ^102:14For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, And have pity upon her dust. ^102:15So the nations shall fear the name of Jehovah, And all the kings of the earth thy glory. ^102:16For Jehovah hath built up Zion; He hath appeared in his glory. ^102:17He hath regarded the prayer of the destitute, And hath not despised their prayer. ^102:18This shall be written for the generation to come; And a people which shall be created shall praise Jehovah. ^102:19For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; From heaven did Jehovah behold the earth; ^102:20To hear the sighing of the prisoner; To loose those that are appointed to death; ^102:21That men may declare the name of Jehovah in Zion, And his praise in Jerusalem; ^102:22When the peoples are gathered together, And the kingdoms, to serve Jehovah. ^102:23He weakened my strength in the way; He shortened my days. ^102:24I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: Thy years are throughout all generations. ^102:25Of old didst thou lay the foundation of the earth; And the heavens are the work of thy hands. ^102:26They shall perish, but thou shalt endure; Yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; As a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: ^102:27But thou art the same, And thy years shall have no end. ^102:28The children of thy servants shall continue, And their seed shall be established before thee. Psalm 103 [A Psalm] of David.

^103:1Bless Jehovah, O my soul; And all that is within me, [bless] his holy name. ^103:2Bless Jehovah, O my soul, And forget not all his benefits: ^103:3Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; Who healeth all thy diseases; ^103:4Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; ^103:5Who satisfieth thy desire with good things, [So that] thy youth is renewed like the eagle. ^103:6Jehovah executeth righteous acts, And judgments for all that are oppressed. ^103:7He made known his ways unto Moses, His doings unto the children of Israel. ^103:8Jehovah is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness. ^103:9He will not always chide; Neither will he keep [his anger] for ever. ^103:10He hath not dealt with us after our sins, Nor rewarded us after our iniquities. ^103:11For as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is his lovingkindness toward them that fear him. ^103:12As far as the east is from the west, So far hath he removed our transgressions from us. ^103:13Like as a father pitieth his children, So Jehovah pitieth them that fear him. ^103:14For he knoweth our frame; He remembereth that we are dust. ^103:15As for man, his days are as grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. ^103:16For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; And the place thereof shall know it no more. ^103:17But the lovingkindness of Jehovah is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, And his righteousness unto children`s children; ^103:18To such as keep his covenant, And to those that remember his precepts to do them. ^103:19Jehovah hath established his throne in the heavens; And his kingdom ruleth over all. ^103:20Bless Jehovah, ye his angels, That are mighty in strength, that fulfil his word, Hearkening unto the voice of his word. ^103:21Bless Jehovah, all ye his hosts, Ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure. ^103:22Bless Jehovah, all ye his works, In all places of his dominion: Bless Jehovah, O my soul. Psalm 104

^104:1Bless Jehovah, O my soul. O Jehovah my God, thou art very great; Thou art clothed with honor and majesty: ^104:2Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment; Who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain; ^104:3Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters; Who maketh the clouds his chariot; Who walketh upon the wings of the wind; ^104:4Who maketh winds his messengers; Flames of fire his ministers; ^104:5Who laid the foundations of the earth, That it should not be moved for ever. ^104:6Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a vesture; The waters stood above the mountains. ^104:7At thy rebuke they fled; At the voice of thy thunder they hasted away ^104:8(The mountains rose, the valleys sank down) Unto the place which thou hadst founded for them. ^104:9Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; That they turn not again to cover the earth. ^104:10He sendeth forth springs into the valleys; They run among the mountains; ^104:11They give drink to every beast of the field; The wild asses quench their thirst. ^104:12By them the birds of the heavens have their habitation; They sing among the branches. ^104:13He watereth the mountains from his chambers: The earth is filled with the fruit of thy works. ^104:14He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, And herb for the service of man; That he may bring forth food out of the earth, ^104:15And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, [And] oil to make his face to shine, And bread that strengtheneth man`s heart. ^104:16The trees of Jehovah are filled [with moisture], The cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted; ^104:17Where the birds make their nests: As for the stork, the fir-trees are her house. ^104:18The high mountains are for the wild goats; The rocks are a refuge for the conies. ^104:19He appointed the moon for seasons: The sun knoweth his going down. ^104:20Thou makest darkness, and it is night, Wherein all the beasts of the forest creep forth. ^104:21The young lions roar after their prey, And seek their food from God. ^104:22The sun ariseth, they get them away, And lay them down in their dens. ^104:23Man goeth forth unto his work And to his labor until the evening. ^104:24O Jehovah, how manifold are thy works! In wisdom hast thou made them all: The earth is full of thy riches. ^104:25Yonder is the sea, great and wide, Wherein are things creeping innumerable, Both small and great beasts. ^104:26There go the ships; There is leviathan, whom thou hast formed to play therein. ^104:27These wait all for thee, That thou mayest give them their food in due season. ^104:28Thou givest unto them, they gather; Thou openest thy hand, they are satisfied with good. ^104:29Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; Thou takest away their breath, they die, And return to their dust. ^104:30Thou sendest forth thy Spirit, they are created; And thou renewest the face of the ground. ^104:31Let the glory of Jehovah endure for ever; Let Jehovah rejoice in his works: ^104:32Who looketh on the earth, and it trembleth; He toucheth the mountains, and they smoke. ^104:33I will sing unto Jehovah as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have any being. ^104:34Let thy meditation be sweet unto him: I will rejoice in Jehovah. ^104:35Let sinners be consumed out of the earth. And let the wicked be no more. Bless Jehovah, O my soul. Praise ye Jehovah. Psalm 105

^105:1Oh give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name; Make known among the peoples his doings. ^105:2Sing unto him, sing praises unto him; Talk ye of all his marvelous works. ^105:3Glory ye in his holy name: Let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah. ^105:4Seek ye Jehovah and his strength; Seek his face evermore. ^105:5Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth, ^105:6O ye seed of Abraham his servant, Ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones. ^105:7He is Jehovah our God: His judgments are in all the earth. ^105:8He hath remembered his covenant for ever, The word which he commanded to a thousand generations, ^105:9[The covenant] which he made with Abraham, And his oath unto Isaac, ^105:10And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a statute, To Israel for an everlasting covenant, ^105:11Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance; ^105:12When they were but a few men in number, Yea, very few, and sojourners in it. ^105:13And they went about from nation to nation, From one kingdom to another people. ^105:14He suffered no man to do them wrong; Yea, he reproved kings for their sakes, ^105:15[Saying], Touch not mine anointed ones, And do my prophets no harm. ^105:16And he called for a famine upon the land; He brake the whole staff of bread. ^105:17He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a servant: ^105:18His feet they hurt with fetters: He was laid in [chains of] iron, ^105:19Until the time that his word came to pass, The word of Jehovah tried him. ^105:20The king sent and loosed him; Even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free. ^105:21He made him lord of his house, And ruler of all his substance; ^105:22To bind his princes at his pleasure, And teach his elders wisdom. ^105:23Israel also came into Egypt; And Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham. ^105:24And he increased his people greatly, And made them stronger than their adversaries. ^105:25He turned their heart to hate his people, To deal subtly with his servants. ^105:26He sent Moses his servant, [And] Aaron whom he had chosen. ^105:27They set among them his signs, And wonders in the land of Ham. ^105:28He sent darkness, and made it dark; And they rebelled not against his words. ^105:29He turned their waters into blood, And slew their fish. ^105:30Their land swarmed with frogs In the chambers of their kings. ^105:31He spake, and there came swarms of flies, And lice in all their borders. ^105:32He gave them hail for rain, [And] flaming fire in their land. ^105:33He smote their vines also and their fig-trees, And brake the trees of their borders. ^105:34He spake, and the locust came, And the grasshopper, and that without number, ^105:35And did eat up every herb in their land, And did eat up the fruit of their ground. ^105:36He smote also all the first-born in their land, The chief of all their strength. ^105:37And he brought them forth with silver and gold; And there was not one feeble person among his tribes. ^105:38Egypt was glad when they departed; For the fear of them had fallen upon them. ^105:39He spread a cloud for a covering, And fire to give light in the night. ^105:40They asked, and he brought quails, And satisfied them with the bread of heaven. ^105:41He opened the rock, and waters gushed out; They ran in the dry places [like] a river. ^105:42For he remembered his holy word, [And] Abraham his servant. ^105:43And he brought forth his people with joy, [And] his chosen with singing. ^105:44And he gave them the lands of the nations; And they took the labor of the peoples in possession: ^105:45That they might keep his statutes, And observe his laws. Praise ye Jehovah. Psalm 106

^106:1Praise ye Jehovah. Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; For his lovingkindness [endureth] forever. ^106:2Who can utter the mighty acts of Jehovah, Or show forth all his praise? ^106:3Blessed are they that keep justice, And he that doeth righteousness at all times. ^106:4Remember me, O Jehovah, with the favor that thou bearest unto thy people; Oh visit me with thy salvation, ^106:5That I may see the prosperity of thy chosen, That I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, That I may glory with thine inheritance. ^106:6We have sinned with our fathers, We have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly. ^106:7Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; They remembered not the multitude of thy lovingkindnesses, But were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea. ^106:8Nevertheless he saved them for his name`s sake, That he might make his mighty power to be known. ^106:9He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up: So he led them through the depths, as through a wilderness. ^106:10And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy. ^106:11And the waters covered their adversaries; There was not one of them left. ^106:12Then believed they his words; They sang his praise. ^106:13They soon forgat his works; They waited not for his counsel, ^106:14But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, And tempted God in the desert. ^106:15And he gave them their request, But sent leanness into their soul. ^106:16They envied Moses also in the camp, [And] Aaron the saint of Jehovah. ^106:17The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, And covered the company of Abiram. ^106:18And a fire was kindled in their company; The flame burned up the wicked. ^106:19They made a calf in Horeb, And worshipped a molten image. ^106:20Thus they changed their glory For the likeness of an ox that eateth grass. ^106:21They forgat God their Saviour, Who had done great things in Egypt, ^106:22Wondrous works in the land of Ham, [And] terrible things by the Red Sea. ^106:23Therefore he said that he would destroy them, Had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, To turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy [them]. ^106:24Yea, they despised the pleasant land, They believed not his word, ^106:25But murmured in their tents, And hearkened not unto the voice of Jehovah. ^106:26Therefore he sware unto them, That he would overthrow them in the wilderness, ^106:27And that he would overthrow their seed among the nations, And scatter them in the lands. ^106:28They joined themselves also unto Baal-peor, And ate the sacrifices of the dead. ^106:29Thus they provoked him to anger with their doings; And the plague brake in upon them. ^106:30Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment; And so the plague was stayed. ^106:31And that was reckoned unto him for righteousness, Unto all generations for evermore. ^106:32They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, So that it went ill with Moses for their sakes; ^106:33Because they were rebellious against his spirit, And he spake unadvisedly with his lips. ^106:34They did not destroy the peoples, As Jehovah commanded them, ^106:35But mingled themselves with the nations, And learned their works, ^106:36And served their idols, Which became a snare unto them. ^106:37Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto demons, ^106:38And shed innocent blood, Even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, Whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan; And the land was polluted with blood. ^106:39Thus were they defiled with their works, And played the harlot in their doings. ^106:40Therefore was the wrath of Jehovah kindled against his people, And he abhorred his inheritance. ^106:41And he gave them into the hand of the nations; And they that hated them ruled over them. ^106:42Their enemies also oppressed them, And they were brought into subjection under their hand. ^106:43Many times did he deliver them; But they were rebellious in their counsel, And were brought low in their iniquity. ^106:44Nevertheless he regarded their distress, When he heard their cry: ^106:45And he remembered for them his covenant, And repented according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses. ^106:46He made them also to be pitied Of all those that carried them captive. ^106:47Save us, O Jehovah our God, And gather us from among the nations, To give thanks unto thy holy name, And to triumph in thy praise. ^106:48Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting even to everlasting. And let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye Jehovah. BOOK V Psalm 107

^107:1O give thanks unto Jehovah; For he is good; For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever. ^107:2Let the redeemed of Jehovah say [so], Whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the adversary, ^107:3And gathered out of the lands, From the east and from the west, From the north and from the south. ^107:4They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way; They found no city of habitation. ^107:5Hungry and thirsty, Their soul fainted in them. ^107:6Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble, And he delivered them out of their distresses, ^107:7He led them also by a straight way, That they might go to a city of habitation. ^107:8Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men! ^107:9For he satisfieth the longing soul, And the hungry soul he filleth with good. ^107:10Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, Being bound in affliction and iron, ^107:11Because they rebelled against the words of God, And contemned the counsel of the Most High: ^107:12Therefore he brought down their heart with labor; They fell down, and there was none to help. ^107:13Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble, And he saved them out of their distresses. ^107:14He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, And brake their bonds in sunder. ^107:15Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men! ^107:16For he hath broken the gates of brass, And cut the bars of iron in sunder. ^107:17Fools because of their transgression, And because of their iniquities, are afflicted. ^107:18Their soul abhorreth all manner of food; And they draw near unto the gates of death. ^107:19Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble, And he saveth them out of their distresses. ^107:20He sendeth his word, and healeth them, And delivereth [them] from their destructions. ^107:21Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men! ^107:22And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, And declare his works with singing. ^107:23They that go down to the sea in ships, That do business in great waters; ^107:24These see the works of Jehovah, And his wonders in the deep. ^107:25For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, Which lifteth up the waves thereof. ^107:26They mount up to the heavens, they go down again to the depths: Their soul melteth away because of trouble. ^107:27They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, And are at their wits` end. ^107:28Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble, And he bringeth them out of their distresses. ^107:29He maketh the storm a calm, So that the waves thereof are still. ^107:30Then are they glad because they are quiet; So he bringeth them unto their desired haven. ^107:31Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men! ^107:32Let them exalt him also in the assembly of the people, And praise him in the seat of the elders. ^107:33He turneth rivers into a wilderness, And watersprings into a thirsty ground; ^107:34A fruitful land into a salt desert, For the wickedness of them that dwell therein. ^107:35He turneth a wilderness into a pool of water, And a dry land into watersprings. ^107:36And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, That they may prepare a city of habitation, ^107:37And sow fields, and plant vineyards, And get them fruits of increase. ^107:38He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; And he suffereth not their cattle to decrease. ^107:39Again, they are diminished and bowed down Through oppression, trouble, and sorrow. ^107:40He poureth contempt upon princes, And causeth them to wander in the waste, where there is no way. ^107:41Yet setteth he the needy on high from affliction, And maketh [him] families like a flock. ^107:42The upright shall see it, and be glad; And all iniquity shall stop her mouth. ^107:43Whoso is wise will give heed to these things; And they will consider the lovingkindnesses of Jehovah. Psalm 108 A Song, A Psalm of David.

^108:1My heart is fixed, O God; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises, even with my glory. ^108:2Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake right early. ^108:3I will give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah, among the peoples; And I will sing praises unto thee among the nations. ^108:4For thy lovingkindness is great above the heavens; And thy truth [reacheth] unto the skies. ^108:5Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, And thy glory above all the earth. ^108:6That thy beloved may be delivered, Save with thy right hand, and answer us. ^108:7God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult; I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. ^108:8Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre. ^108:9Moab is my washpot; Upon Edom will I cast my shoe; Over Philistia will I shout. ^108:10Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who hath led me unto Edom? ^108:11Hast not thou cast us off, O God? And thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts. ^108:12Give us help against the adversary; For vain is the help of man. ^108:13Through God we shall do valiantly: For he it is that will tread down our adversaries. Psalm 109 For the Chief Musicion. A Psalm of David.

^109:1Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise; ^109:2For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit have they opened against me: They have spoken unto me with a lying tongue. ^109:3They have compassed me about also with words of hatred, And fought against me without a cause. ^109:4For my love they are my adversaries: But I [give myself unto] prayer. ^109:5And they have rewarded me evil for good, And hatred for my love. ^109:6Set thou a wicked man over him; And let an adversary stand at his right hand. ^109:7When he is judged, let him come forth guilty; And let his prayer be turned into sin. ^109:8Let his days be few; [And] let another take his office. ^109:9Let his children be fatherless, And his wife a widow. ^109:10Let his children be vagabonds, and beg; And let them seek [their bread] out of their desolate places. ^109:11Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; And let strangers make spoil of his labor. ^109:12Let there be none to extend kindness unto him; Neither let there be any to have pity on his fatherless children. ^109:13Let his posterity be cut off; In the generation following let their name be blotted out. ^109:14Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with Jehovah; And let not the sin of his mother be blotted out. ^109:15Let them be before Jehovah continually, That he may cut off the memory of them from the earth; ^109:16Because he remembered not to show kindness, But persecuted the poor and needy man, And the broken in heart, to slay [them]. ^109:17Yea, he loved cursing, and it came unto him; And he delighted not in blessing, and it was far from him. ^109:18He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment, And it came into his inward parts like water, And like oil into his bones. ^109:19Let it be unto him as the raiment wherewith he covereth himself, And for the girdle wherewith he is girded continually. ^109:20This is the reward of mine adversaries from Jehovah, And of them that speak evil against my soul. ^109:21But deal thou with me, O Jehovah the Lord, for thy name`s sake: Because thy lovingkindness is good, deliver thou me; ^109:22For I am poor and needy, And my heart is wounded within me. ^109:23I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust. ^109:24My knees are weak through fasting; And my flesh faileth of fatness. ^109:25I am become also a reproach unto them: When they see me, they shake their head. ^109:26Help me, O Jehovah my God; Oh save me according to thy lovingkindness: ^109:27That they may know that this is thy hand; [That] thou, Jehovah, hast done it. ^109:28Let them curse, but bless thou: When they arise, they shall be put to shame, But thy servant shall rejoice. ^109:29Let mine adversaries be clothed with dishonor, And let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe. ^109:30I will give great thanks unto Jehovah with my mouth; Yea, I will praise him among the multitude. ^109:31For he will stand at the right hand of the needy, To save him from them that judge his soul. Psalm 110 A Psalm of David.

^110:1Jehovah saith unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, Until I make thine enemies thy footstool. ^110:2Jehovah will send forth the rod of thy strength out of Zion: Rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. ^110:3Thy people offer themselves willingly In the day of thy power, in holy array: Out of the womb of the morning Thou hast the dew of thy youth. ^110:4Jehovah hath sworn, and will not repent: Thou art a priest for ever After the order of Melchizedek. ^110:5The Lord at thy right hand Will strike through kings in the day of his wrath. ^110:6He will judge among the nations, He will fill [the places] with dead bodies; He will strike through the head in many countries. ^110:7He will drink of the brook in the way: Therefore will he lift up the head. Psalm 111

^111:1Praise ye Jehovah. I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart, In the council of the upright, and in the congregation. ^111:2The works of Jehovah are great, Sought out of all them that have pleasure therein. ^111:3His work is honor and majesty; And his righteousness endureth for ever. ^111:4He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: Jehovah is gracious and merciful. ^111:5He hath given food unto them that fear him: He will ever be mindful of his covenant. ^111:6He hath showed his people the power of his works, In giving them the heritage of the nations. ^111:7The works of his hands are truth and justice; All his precepts are sure. ^111:8They are established for ever and ever; They are done in truth and uprightness. ^111:9He hath sent redemption unto his people; He hath commanded his covenant for ever: Holy and reverend is his name. ^111:10The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all they that do [his commandments]: His praise endureth for ever. Psalm 112

^112:1Praise ye Jehovah. Blessed is the man that feareth Jehovah, That delighteth greatly in his commandments. ^112:2His seed shall be mighty upon earth: The generation of the upright shall be blessed. ^112:3Wealth and riches are in his house; And his righteousness endureth for ever. ^112:4Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: [He is] gracious, and merciful, and righteous. ^112:5Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth; He shall maintain his cause in judgment. ^112:6For he shall never be moved; The righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance. ^112:7He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: His heart is fixed, trusting in Jehovah. ^112:8His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, Until he see [his desire] upon his adversaries. ^112:9He hath dispersed, he hath given to the needy; His righteousness endureth for ever: His horn shall be exalted with honor. ^112:10The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: The desire of the wicked shall perish. Psalm 113

^113:1Praise ye Jehovah. Praise, O ye servants of Jehovah, Praise the name of Jehovah. ^113:2Blessed be the name of Jehovah From this time forth and for evermore. ^113:3From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same Jehovah`s name is to be praised. ^113:4Jehovah is high above all nations, And his glory above the heavens. ^113:5Who is like unto Jehovah our God, That hath his seat on high, ^113:6That humbleth himself to behold [The things that are] in heaven and in the earth? ^113:7He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, And lifteth up the needy from the dunghill; ^113:8That he may set him with princes, Even with the princes of his people. ^113:9He maketh the barren woman to keep house, [And to be] a joyful mother of children. Praise ye Jehovah. Psalm 114

^114:1When Israel went forth out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language; ^114:2Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion. ^114:3The sea saw it, and fled; The Jordan was driven back. ^114:4The mountains skipped like rams, The little hills like lambs. ^114:5What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest? Thou Jordan, that thou turnest back? ^114:6Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; Ye little hills, like lambs? ^114:7Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Jacob, ^114:8Who turned the rock into a pool of water, The flint into a fountain of waters. Psalm 115

^115:1Not unto us, O Jehovah, not unto us, But unto thy name give glory, For thy lovingkindness, and for thy truth`s sake. <sup>115:2</sup>Wherefore should the nations say, Where is now their God? <sup>115:3</sup>But our God is in the heavens: He hath done whatsoever he pleased. <sup>115:4</sup>Their idols are silver and gold, The work of men`s hands. ^115:5They have mouths, but they speak not; Eyes have they, but they see not; ^115:6They have ears, but they hear not; Noses have they, but they smell not; ^115:7They have hands, but they handle not; Feet have they, but they walk not; Neither speak they through their throat. ^115:8They that make them shall be like unto them; Yea, every one that trusteth in them. ^115:9O Israel, trust thou in Jehovah: He is their help and their shield. ^115:10O house of Aaron, trust ye in Jehovah: He is their help and their shield. ^115:11Ye that fear Jehovah, trust in Jehovah: He is their help and their shield. ^115:12Jehovah hath been mindful of us; he will bless [us]: He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron. ^115:13He will bless them that fear Jehovah, Both small and great. ^115:14Jehovah increase you more and more, You and your children. ^115:15Blessed are ye of Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth. ^115:16The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah; But the earth hath he given to the children of men. ^115:17The dead praise not Jehovah, Neither any that go down into silence; ^115:18But we will bless Jehovah From this time forth and for evermore. Praise ye Jehovah. Psalm 116
