86:1Hear, Yahweh, and answer me, for I am poor and needy. 86:2Preserve my soul, for I am godly. You, my God, save your servant who trusts in you. 86:3Be merciful to me, Lord, for I call to you all day long. 86:4Bring joy to the soul of your servant, for to you, Lord, do I lift up my soul. 86:5For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive; abundant in loving kindness to all those who call on you. 86:6Hear, Yahweh, my prayer. Listen to the voice of my petitions. 86:7In the day of my trouble I will call on you, for you will answer me. 86:8There is no one like you among the gods, Lord, nor any deeds like your deeds. 86:9All nations you have made will come and worship before you, Lord. They shall glorify your name. 86:10For you are great, and do wondrous things. You are God alone. 86:11Teach me your way, Yahweh. I will walk in your truth. Make my heart undivided to fear your name. 86:12I will praise you, Lord my God, with my whole heart. I will glorify your name forever more. 86:13For your loving kindness is great toward me. You have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol. 86:14God, the proud have risen up against me. A company of violent men have sought after my soul, and they don’t hold regard for you before them. 86:15But you, Lord, are a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth. 86:16Turn to me, and have mercy on me! Give your strength to your servant. Save the son of your servant. 86:17Show me a sign of your goodness, that those who hate me may see it, and be shamed, because you, Yahweh, have helped me, and comforted me.
87:1His foundation is in the holy mountains. 87:2Yahweh loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. 87:3Glorious things are spoken about you, city of God. Selah. 87:4I will record Rahab and Babylon among those who acknowledge me. Behold, Philistia, Tyre, and also Ethiopia: “This one was born there.” 87:5Yes, of Zion it will be said, “This one and that one was born in her”; the Most High himself will establish her. 87:6Yahweh will count, when he writes up the peoples, “This one was born there.” Selah. 87:7Those who sing as well as those who dance say, “All my springs are in you.”
88:1Yahweh, the God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before you. 88:2Let my prayer enter into your presence. Turn your ear to my cry. 88:3For my soul is full of troubles. My life draws near to Sheol. 88:4I am counted among those who go down into the pit. I am like a man who has no help, 88:5set apart among the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom you remember no more. They are cut off from your hand. 88:6You have laid me in the lowest pit, in the darkest depths. 88:7Your wrath lies heavily on me. You have afflicted me with all your waves. Selah. 88:8You have taken my friends from me. You have made me an abomination to them. I am confined, and I can’t escape. 88:9My eyes are dim from grief. I have called on you daily, Yahweh. I have spread out my hands to you. 88:10Do you show wonders to the dead? Do the departed spirits rise up and praise you? Selah. 88:11Is your loving kindness declared in the grave? Or your faithfulness in Destruction? 88:12Are your wonders made known in the dark? Or your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness? 88:13But to you, Yahweh, I have cried. In the morning, my prayer comes before you. 88:14Yahweh, why do you reject my soul? Why do you hide your face from me? 88:15I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up. While I suffer your terrors, I am distracted. 88:16Your fierce wrath has gone over me. Your terrors have cut me off. 88:17They came around me like water all day long. They completely engulfed me. 88:18You have put lover and friend far from me, and my friends into darkness.
89:1I will sing of the loving kindness of Yahweh forever. With my mouth, I will make known your faithfulness to all generations. 89:2I indeed declare, “Love stands firm forever. You established the heavens. Your faithfulness is in them.” 89:3“I have made a covenant with my chosen one, I have sworn to David, my servant, 89:4‘I will establish your offspring forever, and build up your throne to all generations.’” Selah. 89:5The heavens will praise your wonders, Yahweh; your faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones. 89:6For who in the skies can be compared to Yahweh? Who among the sons of the heavenly beings is like Yahweh, 89:7a very awesome God in the council of the holy ones, to be feared above all those who are around him? 89:8Yahweh, God of Armies, who is a mighty one, like you? Yah, your faithfulness is around you. 89:9You rule the pride of the sea. When its waves rise up, you calm them. 89:10You have broken Rahab in pieces, like one of the slain. You have scattered your enemies with your mighty arm. 89:11The heavens are yours. The earth also is yours; the world and its fullness. You have founded them. 89:12The north and the south, you have created them. Tabor and Hermon rejoice in your name. 89:13You have a mighty arm. Your hand is strong, and your right hand is exalted. 89:14Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne. Loving kindness and truth go before your face. 89:15Blessed are the people who learn to acclaim you. They walk in the light of your presence, Yahweh. 89:16In your name they rejoice all day. In your righteousness, they are exalted. 89:17For you are the glory of their strength. In your favor, our horn will be exalted. 89:18For our shield belongs to Yahweh; our king to the Holy One of Israel. 89:19Then you spoke in vision to your saints, and said, “I have given strength to the warrior. I have exalted a young man from the people. 89:20I have found David, my servant. I have anointed him with my holy oil, 89:21with whom my hand shall be established. My arm will also strengthen him. 89:22No enemy will tax him. No wicked man will oppress him. 89:23I will beat down his adversaries before him, and strike those who hate him. 89:24But my faithfulness and my loving kindness will be with him. In my name, his horn will be exalted. 89:25I will set his hand also on the sea, and his right hand on the rivers. 89:26He will call to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, and the rock of my salvation!’ 89:27I will also appoint him my firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth. 89:28I will keep my loving kindness for him forever more. My covenant will stand firm with him. 89:29I will also make his offspring endure forever, and his throne as the days of heaven. 89:30If his children forsake my law, and don’t walk in my ordinances; 89:31if they break my statutes, and don’t keep my commandments; 89:32then I will punish their sin with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes. 89:33But I will not completely take my loving kindness from him, nor allow my faithfulness to fail. 89:34I will not break my covenant, nor alter what my lips have uttered. 89:35Once I have sworn by my holiness, I will not lie to David. 89:36His offspring will endure forever, his throne like the sun before me. 89:37It will be established forever like the moon, the faithful witness in the sky.” Selah. 89:38But you have rejected and spurned. You have been angry with your anointed. 89:39You have renounced the covenant of your servant. You have defiled his crown in the dust. 89:40You have broken down all his hedges. You have brought his strongholds to ruin. 89:41All who pass by the way rob him. He has become a reproach to his neighbors. 89:42You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries. You have made all of his enemies rejoice. 89:43Yes, you turn back the edge of his sword, and haven’t supported him in battle. 89:44You have ended his splendor, and thrown his throne down to the ground. 89:45You have shortened the days of his youth. You have covered him with shame. Selah. 89:46How long, Yahweh? Will you hide yourself forever? Will your wrath burn like fire? 89:47Remember how short my time is! For what vanity have you created all the children of men! 89:48What man is he who shall live and not see death, who shall deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah. 89:49Lord, where are your former loving kindnesses, which you swore to David in your faithfulness? 89:50Remember, Lord, the reproach of your servants, how I bear in my heart the taunts of all the mighty peoples, 89:51With which your enemies have mocked, Yahweh, with which they have mocked the footsteps of your anointed one. 89:52Blessed be Yahweh forever more. Amen, and Amen.
90:1Lord, you have been our dwelling place for all generations. 90:2Before the mountains were born, before you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God. 90:3You turn man to destruction, saying, “Return, you children of men.” 90:4For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday when it is past, like a watch in the night. 90:5You sweep them away as they sleep. In the morning they sprout like new grass. 90:6In the morning it sprouts and springs up. By evening, it is withered and dry. 90:7For we are consumed in your anger. We are troubled in your wrath. 90:8You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence. 90:9For all our days have passed away in your wrath. We bring our years to an end as a sigh. 90:10The days of our years are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty years; yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for it passes quickly, and we fly away. 90:11Who knows the power of your anger, your wrath according to the fear that is due to you? 90:12So teach us to count our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. 90:13Relent, Yahweh! How long? Have compassion on your servants! 90:14Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. 90:15Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen evil. 90:16Let your work appear to your servants; your glory to their children. 90:17Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us; establish the work of our hands for us; yes, establish the work of our hands.
91:1He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. 91:2I will say of Yahweh, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.” 91:3For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence. 91:4He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart. 91:5You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day; 91:6nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday. 91:7A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you. 91:8You will only look with your eyes, and see the recompense of the wicked. 91:9Because you have made Yahweh your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place, 91:10no evil shall happen to you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling. 91:11For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways. 91:12They will bear you up in their hands, so that you won’t dash your foot against a stone. 91:13You will tread on the lion and cobra. You will trample the young lion and the serpent underfoot. 91:14“Because he has set his love on me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high, because he has known my name. 91:15He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him. 91:16I will satisfy him with long life, and show him my salvation.”
92:1It is a good thing to give thanks to Yahweh, to sing praises to your name, Most High; 92:2to proclaim your loving kindness in the morning, and your faithfulness every night, 92:3with the ten-stringed lute, with the harp, and with the melody of the lyre. 92:4For you, Yahweh, have made me glad through your work. I will triumph in the works of your hands. 92:5How great are your works, Yahweh! Your thoughts are very deep. 92:6A senseless man doesn’t know, neither does a fool understand this: 92:7though the wicked spring up as the grass, and all the evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever. 92:8But you, Yahweh, are on high forever more. 92:9For, behold, your enemies, Yahweh, for, behold, your enemies shall perish. All the evildoers will be scattered. 92:10But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox. I am anointed with fresh oil. 92:11My eye has also seen my enemies. My ears have heard of the wicked enemies who rise up against me. 92:12The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree. He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon. 92:13They are planted in Yahweh’s house. They will flourish in our God’s courts. 92:14They will still produce fruit in old age. They will be full of sap and green, 92:15to show that Yahweh is upright. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
93:1Yahweh reigns! He is clothed with majesty! Yahweh is armed with strength. The world also is established. It can’t be moved. 93:2Your throne is established from long ago. You are from everlasting. 93:3The floods have lifted up, Yahweh, the floods have lifted up their voice. The floods lift up their waves. 93:4Above the voices of many waters, the mighty breakers of the sea, Yahweh on high is mighty. 93:5Your statutes stand firm. Holiness adorns your house, Yahweh, forever more.
94:1Yahweh, you God to whom vengeance belongs, you God to whom vengeance belongs, shine out. 94:2Rise up, you judge of the earth. Pay back the proud what they deserve. 94:3Yahweh, how long will the wicked, how long will the wicked triumph? 94:4They pour out arrogant words. All the evildoers boast. 94:5They break your people in pieces, Yahweh, and afflict your heritage. 94:6They kill the widow and the alien, and murder the fatherless. 94:7They say, “Yah will not see, neither will Jacob’s God consider.” 94:8Consider, you senseless among the people; you fools, when will you be wise? 94:9He who implanted the ear, won’t he hear? He who formed the eye, won’t he see? 94:10He who disciplines the nations, won’t he punish? He who teaches man knows. 94:11Yahweh knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile. 94:12Blessed is the man whom you discipline, Yah, and teach out of your law; 94:13that you may give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit is dug for the wicked. 94:14For Yahweh won’t reject his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance. 94:15For judgment will return to righteousness. All the upright in heart shall follow it. 94:16Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against the evildoers? 94:17Unless Yahweh had been my help, my soul would have soon lived in silence. 94:18When I said, “My foot is slipping!” Your loving kindness, Yahweh, held me up. 94:19In the multitude of my thoughts within me, your comforts delight my soul. 94:20Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with you, which brings about mischief by statute? 94:21They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood. 94:22But Yahweh has been my high tower, my God, the rock of my refuge. 94:23He has brought on them their own iniquity, and will cut them off in their own wickedness. Yahweh, our God, will cut them off.
95:1Oh come, let’s sing to Yahweh. Let’s shout aloud to the rock of our salvation! 95:2Let’s come before his presence with thanksgiving. Let’s extol him with songs! 95:3For Yahweh is a great God, a great King above all gods. 95:4In his hand are the deep places of the earth. The heights of the mountains are also his. 95:5The sea is his, and he made it. His hands formed the dry land. 95:6Oh come, let’s worship and bow down. Let’s kneel before Yahweh, our Maker, 95:7for he is our God. We are the people of his pasture, and the sheep in his care. Today, oh that you would hear his voice! 95:8Don’t harden your heart, as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the wilderness, 95:9when your fathers tempted me, tested me, and saw my work. 95:10Forty long years I was grieved with that generation, and said, “It is a people that errs in their heart. They have not known my ways.” 95:11Therefore I swore in my wrath, “They won’t enter into my rest.”
96:1Sing to Yahweh a new song! Sing to Yahweh, all the earth. 96:2Sing to Yahweh! Bless his name! Proclaim his salvation from day to day! 96:3Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples. 96:4For great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised! He is to be feared above all gods. 96:5For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but Yahweh made the heavens. 96:6Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary. 96:7Ascribe to Yahweh, you families of nations, ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength. 96:8Ascribe to Yahweh the glory due to his name. Bring an offering, and come into his courts. 96:9Worship Yahweh in holy array. Tremble before him, all the earth. 96:10Say among the nations, “Yahweh reigns.” The world is also established. It can’t 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 its fullness! 96:12Let the field and all that is in it exult! Then all the trees of the woods shall sing for joy 96:13before Yahweh; for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, the peoples with his truth.
97:1Yahweh reigns! Let the earth rejoice! Let the multitude of islands be glad! 97:2Clouds and darkness are around him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne. 97:3A fire goes before him, and burns up his adversaries on every side. 97:4His lightning lights up the world. The earth sees, and trembles. 97:5The mountains melt like wax at the presence of Yahweh, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. 97:6The heavens declare his righteousness. All the peoples have seen his glory. 97:7Let all them be shamed who serve engraved images, who boast in their idols. Worship him, all you gods! 97:8Zion heard and was glad. The daughters of Judah rejoiced, because of your judgments, Yahweh. 97:9For you, Yahweh, are most high above all the earth. You are exalted far above all gods. 97:10You who love Yahweh, hate evil. He preserves the souls of his saints. He delivers 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 Yahweh, you righteous people! Give thanks to his holy Name.
98:1Sing to Yahweh a new song, for he has done marvelous things! His right hand, and his holy arm, have worked salvation for him. 98:2Yahweh has made known his salvation. He has openly shown his righteousness in the sight of the nations. 98:3He has remembered his loving kindness 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 to Yahweh, all the earth! Burst out and sing for joy, yes, sing praises! 98:5Sing praises to Yahweh with the harp, with the harp and the voice of melody. 98:6With trumpets and sound of the ram’s horn, make a joyful noise before the King, Yahweh. 98:7Let the sea roar with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell therein. 98:8Let the rivers clap their hands. Let the mountains sing for joy together. 98:9Let them sing before Yahweh, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity.
99:1Yahweh reigns! Let the peoples tremble. He sits enthroned among the cherubim. Let the earth be moved. 99:2Yahweh is great in Zion. He is high above all the peoples. 99:3Let them praise your great and awesome name. He is Holy! 99:4The King’s strength also loves justice. You do establish equity. You execute justice and righteousness in Jacob. 99:5Exalt Yahweh our God. Worship at his footstool. He is Holy! 99:6Moses and Aaron were among his priests, Samuel among those who call on his name; they called on Yahweh, and he answered them. 99:7He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud. They kept his testimonies, the statute that he gave them. 99:8You answered them, Yahweh our God. You are a God who forgave them, although you took vengeance for their doings. 99:9Exalt Yahweh, our God. Worship at his holy hill, for Yahweh, our God, is holy!
100:1Shout for joy to Yahweh, all you lands! 100:2Serve Yahweh with gladness. Come before his presence with singing. 100:3Know that Yahweh, he is God. It is he who has made us, and we are his. We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. 100:4Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, into his courts with praise. Give thanks to him, and bless his name. 100:5For Yahweh is good. His loving kindness endures forever, his faithfulness to all generations.
101:1I will sing of loving kindness and justice. To you, Yahweh, I will sing praises. 101:2I will be careful to live a blameless life. When will you come to me? I will walk within my house with a blameless heart. 101:3I will set no vile thing before my eyes. I hate the deeds of faithless men. They will not cling to me. 101:4A perverse heart will be far from me. I will have nothing to do with evil. 101:5I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I won’t tolerate one who is haughty and conceited. 101:6My eyes will be on the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me. He who walks in a perfect way, he will serve me. 101:7He who practices deceit won’t dwell within my house. He who speaks falsehood won’t be established before my eyes. 101:8Morning by morning, I will destroy all the wicked of the land; to cut off all the workers of iniquity from Yahweh’s city.
102:1Hear my prayer, Yahweh! Let my cry come to you. 102:2Don’t hide your face from me in the day of my distress. Turn your ear to me. Answer me quickly in the day when I call. 102:3For my days consume away like smoke. My bones are burned as a torch. 102:4My heart is blighted like grass, and withered, for I forget to eat my bread. 102:5By reason of the voice of my groaning, my bones stick to my skin. 102:6I am like a pelican of the wilderness. I have become as an owl of the waste places. 102:7I watch, and have become like a sparrow that is alone on the housetop. 102:8My enemies reproach me all day. Those who are mad at me use my name as a curse. 102:9For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mixed my drink with tears, 102:10Because of your indignation and your wrath, for you have taken me up, and thrown me away. 102:11My days are like a long shadow. I have withered like grass. 102:12But you, Yahweh, will remain forever; your renown endures to all generations. 102:13You will arise and have mercy on Zion; for it is time to have pity on her. Yes, the set time has come. 102:14For your servants take pleasure in her stones, and have pity on her dust. 102:15So the nations will fear Yahweh’s name; all the kings of the earth your glory. 102:16For Yahweh has built up Zion. He has appeared in his glory. 102:17He has responded to the prayer of the destitute, and has not despised their prayer. 102:18This will be written for the generation to come. A people which will be created will praise Yah. 102:19For he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary. From heaven, Yahweh saw the earth; 102:20to hear the groans of the prisoner; to free those who are condemned to death; 102:21that men may declare Yahweh’s name in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem; 102:22when the peoples are gathered together, the kingdoms, to serve Yahweh. 102:23He weakened my strength along the course. He shortened my days. 102:24I said, “My God, don’t take me away in the middle of my days. Your years are throughout all generations. 102:25Of old, you laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the work of your hands. 102:26They will perish, but you will endure. Yes, all of them will wear out like a garment. You will change them like a cloak, and they will be changed. 102:27But you are the same. Your years will have no end. 102:28The children of your servants will continue. Their offspring will be established before you.”
103:1Praise Yahweh, my soul! All that is within me, praise his holy name! 103:2Praise Yahweh, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits; 103:3who forgives all your sins; who heals all your diseases; 103:4who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies; 103:5who satisfies your desire with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. 103:6Yahweh executes righteous acts, and justice for all who are oppressed. 103:7He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the children of Israel. 103:8Yahweh is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness. 103:9He will not always accuse; neither will he stay angry forever. 103:10He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor repaid us for our iniquities. 103:11For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving kindness toward those who fear him. 103:12As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. 103:13Like a father has compassion on his children, so Yahweh has compassion on those who fear him. 103:14For he knows how we are made. He remembers that we are dust. 103:15As for man, his days are like grass. As a flower of the field, so he flourishes. 103:16For the wind passes over it, and it is gone. Its place remembers it no more. 103:17But Yahweh’s loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him, his righteousness to children’s children; 103:18to those who keep his covenant, to those who remember to obey his precepts. 103:19Yahweh has established his throne in the heavens. His kingdom rules over all. 103:20Praise Yahweh, you angels of his, who are mighty in strength, who fulfill his word, obeying the voice of his word. 103:21Praise Yahweh, all you armies of his, you servants of his, who do his pleasure. 103:22Praise Yahweh, all you works of his, in all places of his dominion. Praise Yahweh, my soul!
104:1Bless Yahweh, my soul. Yahweh, my God, you are very great. You are clothed with honor and majesty. 104:2He covers himself with light as with a garment. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain. 104:3He lays the beams of his rooms in the waters. He makes the clouds his chariot. He walks on the wings of the wind. 104:4He makes his messengers winds; his servants flames of fire. 104:5He laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be moved forever. 104:6You covered it with the deep as with a cloak. The waters stood above the mountains. 104:7At your rebuke they fled. At the voice of your thunder they hurried away. 104:8The mountains rose, the valleys sank down, to the place which you had assigned to them. 104:9You have set a boundary that they may not pass over; that they don’t turn again to cover the earth. 104:10He sends springs into the valleys. They run among the mountains. 104:11They give drink to every animal of the field. The wild donkeys quench their thirst. 104:12The birds of the sky nest by them. They sing among the branches. 104:13He waters the mountains from his rooms. The earth is filled with the fruit of your works. 104:14He causes the grass to grow for the livestock, and plants for man to cultivate, that he may produce food out of the earth: 104:15wine that makes glad the heart of man, oil to make his face to shine, and bread that strengthens man’s heart. 104:16Yahweh’s trees are well watered, the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted; 104:17where the birds make their nests. The stork makes its home in the cypress trees. 104:18The high mountains are for the wild goats. The rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers. 104:19He appointed the moon for seasons. The sun knows when to set. 104:20You make darkness, and it is night, in which all the animals of the forest prowl. 104:21The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from God. 104:22The sun rises, and they steal away, and lay down in their dens. 104:23Man goes out to his work, to his labor until the evening. 104:24Yahweh, how many are your works! In wisdom have you made them all. The earth is full of your riches. 104:25There is the sea, great and wide, in which are innumerable living things, both small and large animals. 104:26There the ships go, and leviathan, whom you formed to play there. 104:27These all wait for you, that you may give them their food in due season. 104:28You give to them; they gather. You open your hand; they are satisfied with good. 104:29You hide your face: they are troubled; you take away their breath: they die, and return to the dust. 104:30You send out your Spirit and they are created. You renew the face of the ground. 104:31Let Yahweh’s glory endure forever. Let Yahweh rejoice in his works. 104:32He looks at the earth, and it trembles. He touches the mountains, and they smoke. 104:33I will sing to Yahweh as long as I live. I will sing praise to my God while I have any being. 104:34Let my meditation be sweet to him. I will rejoice in Yahweh. 104:35Let sinners be consumed out of the earth. Let the wicked be no more. Bless Yahweh, my soul. Praise Yah!
105:1Give thanks to Yahweh! Call on his name! Make his doings known among the peoples. 105:2Sing to him, sing praises to him! Tell of all his marvelous works. 105:3Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek Yahweh rejoice. 105:4Seek Yahweh and his strength. Seek his face forever more. 105:5Remember his marvelous works that he has done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth, 105:6you offspring of Abraham, his servant, you children of Jacob, his chosen ones. 105:7He is Yahweh, our God. His judgments are in all the earth. 105:8He has remembered his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations, 105:9the covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac, 105:10and confirmed the same to Jacob for a statute; to Israel for an everlasting covenant, 105:11saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance”; 105:12when they were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners in it. 105:13They went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people. 105:14He allowed no one to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes, 105:15“Don’t touch my anointed ones! Do my prophets no harm!” 105:16He called for a famine on the land. He destroyed the food supplies. 105:17He sent a man before them. Joseph was sold for a slave. 105:18They bruised his feet with shackles. His neck was locked in irons, 105:19until the time that his word happened, and Yahweh’s word proved him true. 105:20The king sent and freed him; even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free. 105:21He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all of his possessions; 105:22to discipline his princes at his pleasure, and to teach his elders wisdom. 105:23Israel also came into Egypt. Jacob lived in the land of Ham. 105:24He increased his people greatly, and made them stronger than their adversaries. 105:25He turned their heart to hate his people, to conspire against his servants. 105:26He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen. 105:27They performed miracles among them, and wonders in the land of Ham. 105:28He sent darkness, and made it dark. They didn’t rebel against his words. 105:29He turned their waters into blood, and killed their fish. 105:30Their land swarmed with frogs, even in the rooms of their kings. 105:31He spoke, and swarms of flies came, and lice in all their borders. 105:32He gave them hail for rain, with lightning in their land. 105:33He struck their vines and also their fig trees, and shattered the trees of their country. 105:34He spoke, and the locusts came, and the grasshoppers, without number, 105:35ate up every plant in their land; and ate up the fruit of their ground. 105:36He struck also all the firstborn in their land, the first fruits of all their manhood. 105:37He brought them out with silver and gold. There was not one feeble person among his tribes. 105:38Egypt was glad when they departed, for the fear of them had fallen on them. 105:39He spread a cloud for a covering, fire to give light in the night. 105:40They asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of the sky. 105:41He opened the rock, and waters gushed out. They ran as a river in the dry places. 105:42For he remembered his holy word, and Abraham, his servant. 105:43He brought his people out with joy, his chosen with singing. 105:44He gave them the lands of the nations. They took the labor of the peoples in possession, 105:45that they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Praise Yah!
