and their nobles with fetters of iron;
149:9 to execute on them the written judgment.
All his saints have this honor.
Praise Yah!

you great sea creatures, and all depths!
148:8 Lightning and hail, snow and clouds;
stormy wind, fulfilling his word;
148:9 mountains and all hills;
fruit trees and all cedars;

147:1 Praise Yah,
for it is good to sing praises to our God;
for it is pleasant and fitting to praise him.
147:2 Yahweh builds up Jerusalem.
He gathers together the outcasts of Israel.
147:3 He heals the broken in heart,
and binds up their wounds.
147:4 He counts the number of the stars.
He calls them all by their names.
147:5 Great is our Lord, and mighty in power.
His understanding is infinite.

He brings the wicked down to the ground.
147:7 Sing to Yahweh with thanksgiving.

147:8 who covers the sky with clouds,
who prepares rain for the earth,
who makes grass grow on the mountains.
147:9 He provides food for the livestock,
and for the young ravens when they call.
147:10 He doesn’t delight in the strength of the horse.
He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.
147:11 Yahweh takes pleasure in those who fear him,
in those who hope in his loving kindness.
147:12 Praise Yahweh, Jerusalem!
Praise your God, Zion!
147:13 For he has strengthened the bars of your gates.
He has blessed your children within you.
147:14 He makes peace in your borders.
He fills you with the finest of the wheat.
147:15 He sends out his commandment to the earth.
His word runs very swiftly.
147:16 He gives snow like wool,
and scatters frost like ashes.
147:17 He hurls down his hail like pebbles.
Who can stand before his cold?
147:18 He sends out his word, and melts them.
He causes his wind to blow, and the waters flow.
147:19 He shows his word to Jacob;
his statutes and his ordinances to Israel.
147:20 He has not done this for just any nation.
They don’t know his ordinances.
Praise Yah!

146:1 Praise Yah!
Praise Yahweh, my soul.
146:2 While I live, I will praise Yahweh.
I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.
146:3 Don’t put your trust in princes,
each a son of man in whom there is no help.
146:4 His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth.
In that very day, his thoughts perish.
146:5 Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help,
whose hope is in Yahweh, his God:
146:6 who made heaven and earth,
the sea, and all that is in them;
who keeps truth forever;
146:7 who executes justice for the oppressed;
who gives food to the hungry.
Yahweh frees the prisoners.
146:8 Yahweh opens the eyes of the blind.
Yahweh raises up those who are bowed down.
Yahweh loves the righteous.
146:9 Yahweh preserves the foreigners.
He upholds the fatherless and widow,
but the way of the wicked he turns upside down.
146:10 Yahweh will reign forever;
your God, O Zion, to all generations.
Praise Yah!

Psalm One Hundred Forty Four

hymn — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 23:06:39 +0000

144:1 Blessed be Yahweh, my rock,
who teaches my hands to war,
and my fingers to battle:
144:2 my loving kindness, my fortress,
my high tower, my deliverer,
my shield, and he in whom I take refuge;
who subdues my people under me.
144:3 Yahweh, what is man, that you care for him?
Or the son of man, that you think of him?
144:4 Man is like a breath.
His days are like a shadow that passes away.
144:5 Part your heavens, Yahweh, and come down.
Touch the mountains, and they will smoke.
144:6 Throw out lightning, and scatter them.
Send out your arrows, and rout them.
144:7 Stretch out your hand from above,
rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters,
out of the hands of foreigners;
144:8 whose mouths speak deceit,
Whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
144:9 I will sing a new song to you, God.
On a ten-stringed lyre, I will sing praises to you.
144:10 You are he who gives salvation to kings,
who rescues David, his servant, from the deadly sword.
144:11 Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hands of foreigners,
whose mouths speak deceit,
whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
144:12 Then our sons will be like well-nurtured plants,
our daughters like pillars carved to adorn a palace.
144:13 Our barns are full, filled with all kinds of provision.
Our sheep bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields.
144:14 Our oxen will pull heavy loads.
There is no breaking in, and no going away,
and no outcry in our streets.
144:15 Happy are the people who are in such a situation.
Happy are the people whose God is Yahweh.

Psalm One Hundred Forty Three

hymn — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 23:06:18 +0000

143:1 Hear my prayer, Yahweh.
Listen to my petitions.
In your faithfulness and righteousness, relieve me.
143:2 Don’t enter into judgment with your servant,
for in your sight no man living is righteous.
143:3 For the enemy pursues my soul.
He has struck my life down to the ground.
He has made me live in dark places, as those who have been long dead.
143:4 Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me.
My heart within me is desolate.
143:5 I remember the days of old.
I meditate on all your doings.
I contemplate the work of your hands.
143:6 I spread forth my hands to you.
My soul thirsts for you, like a parched land.
Selah.
143:7 Hurry to answer me, Yahweh.
My spirit fails.
Don’t hide your face from me,
so that I don’t become like those who go down into the pit.
143:8 Cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning,
for I trust in you.
Cause me to know the way in which I should walk,
for I lift up my soul to you.
143:9 Deliver me, Yahweh, from my enemies.
I flee to you to hide me.
143:10 Teach me to do your will,
for you are my God.
Your Spirit is good.
Lead me in the land of uprightness.
143:11 Revive me, Yahweh, for your name’s sake.
In your righteousness, bring my soul out of trouble.
143:12 In your loving kindness, cut off my enemies,
and destroy all those who afflict my soul,
For I am your servant.

Psalm One Hundred Forty Two

hymn — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 23:04:54 +0000

142:1 I cry with my voice to Yahweh.
With my voice, I ask Yahweh for mercy.
142:2 I pour out my complaint before him.
I tell him my troubles.
142:3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me,
you knew my path.
In the way in which I walk,
they have hidden a snare for me.
142:4 Look on my right, and see;
for there is no one who is concerned for me.
Refuge has fled from me.
No one cares for my soul.
142:5 I cried to you, Yahweh.
I said, “You are my refuge,
my portion in the land of the living.”
142:6 Listen to my cry,
for I am in desperate need.
deliver me from my persecutors,
For they are stronger than me.
142:7 Bring my soul out of prison,
that I may give thanks to your name.
The righteous will surround me,
for you will be good to me.

Psalm One Hundred Forty One

hymn — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 23:04:35 +0000

141:1 Yahweh, I have called on you.
Come to me quickly!
Listen to my voice when I call to you.
141:2 Let my prayer be set before you like incense;
the lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice.
141:3 Set a watch, Yahweh, before my mouth.
Keep the door of my lips.
141:4 Don’t incline my heart to any evil thing,
to practice deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity.
Don’t let me eat of their delicacies.
141:5 Let the righteous strike me, it is kindness;
let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head;
don’t let my head refuse it;
Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds.
141:6 Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock.
They will hear my words, for they are well spoken.
141:7 “As when one plows and breaks up the earth,
our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol.”
141:8 For my eyes are on you, Yahweh, the Lord.
In you, I take refuge.
Don’t leave my soul destitute.
141:9 Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me,
from the traps of the workers of iniquity.
141:10 Let the wicked fall together into their own nets,
while I pass by.

Psalm One Hundred Forty

hymn — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 23:04:04 +0000

140:1 Deliver me, Yahweh, from the evil man.
Preserve me from the violent man;
140:2 those who devise mischief in their hearts.
They continually gather themselves together for war.
140:3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent.
Viper’s poison is under their lips.
Selah.
140:4 Yahweh, keep me from the hands of the wicked.
Preserve me from the violent men who have determined to trip my feet.
140:5 The proud have hidden a snare for me,
they have spread the cords of a net by the path.
They have set traps for me.
Selah.
140:6 I said to Yahweh, “You are my God.”
Listen to the cry of my petitions, Yahweh.
140:7 Yahweh, the Lord, the strength of my salvation,
you have covered my head in the day of battle.
140:8 Yahweh, don’t grant the desires of the wicked.
Don’t let their evil plans succeed, or they will become proud.
Selah.
140:9 As for the head of those who surround me,
let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
140:10 Let burning coals fall on them.
Let them be thrown into the fire,
into miry pits, from where they never rise.
140:11 An evil speaker won’t be established in the earth.
Evil will hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
140:12 I know that Yahweh will maintain the cause of the afflicted,
and justice for the needy.
140:13 Surely the righteous will give thanks to your name.
The upright will dwell in your presence.

Psalm One Hundred Thirty Nine

hymn — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 23:03:29 +0000

139:1 Yahweh, you have searched me,
and you know me.
139:2 You know my sitting down and my rising up.
You perceive my thoughts from afar.
139:3 You search out my path and my lying down,
and are acquainted with all my ways.
139:4 For there is not a word on my tongue,
but, behold, Yahweh, you know it altogether.
139:5 You hem me in behind and before.
You laid your hand on me.
139:6 This knowledge is beyond me.
It’s lofty.
I can’t attain it.
139:7 Where could I go from your Spirit?
Or where could I flee from your presence?
139:8 If I ascend up into heaven, you are there.
If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, you are there!
139:9 If I take the wings of the dawn,
and settle in the uttermost parts of the sea;
139:10 Even there your hand will lead me,
and your right hand will hold me.
139:11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will overwhelm me;
the light around me will be night”;
139:12 even the darkness doesn’t hide from you,
but the night shines as the day.
The darkness is like light to you.
139:13 For you formed my inmost being.
You knit me together in my mother’s womb.
139:14 I will give thanks to you,
for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Your works are wonderful.
My soul knows that very well.
139:15 My frame wasn’t hidden from you,
when I was made in secret,
woven together in the depths of the earth.
139:16 Your eyes saw my body.
In your book they were all written,
the days that were ordained for me,
when as yet there were none of them.
139:17 How precious to me are your thoughts, God!
How vast is their sum!
139:18 If I would count them, they are more in number than the sand.
When I wake up, I am still with you.
139:19 If only you, God, would kill the wicked.
Get away from me, you bloodthirsty men!
139:20 For they speak against you wickedly.
Your enemies take your name in vain.
139:21 Yahweh, don’t I hate those who hate you?
Am I not grieved with those who rise up against you?
139:22 I hate them with perfect hatred.
They have become my enemies.
139:23 Search me, God, and know my heart.
Try me, and know my thoughts.
139:24 See if there is any wicked way in me,
and lead me in the everlasting way.

Psalm One Hundred Thirty Eight

138:1 I will give you thanks with my whole heart.
Before the gods, I will sing praises to you.
138:2 I will bow down toward your holy temple,
and give thanks to your Name for your loving kindness and for your truth;
for you have exalted your Name and your Word above all.
138:3 In the day that I called, you answered me.
You encouraged me with strength in my soul.
138:4 All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, Yahweh,
for they have heard the words of your mouth.
138:5 Yes, they will sing of the ways of Yahweh;
for great is Yahweh’s glory.
138:6 For though Yahweh is high, yet he looks after the lowly;
but the proud, he knows from afar.
138:7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you will revive me.
You will stretch forth your hand against the wrath of my enemies.
Your right hand will save me.
138:8 Yahweh will fulfill that which concerns me;
your loving kindness, Yahweh, endures forever.
Don’t forsake the works of your own hands.

Psalm One Hundred Thirty Seven

hymn — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 23:02:16 +0000

137:1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down.
Yes, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
137:2 On the willows in its midst,
we hung up our harps.
137:3 For there, those who led us captive asked us for songs.
Those who tormented us demanded songs of joy:
“Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”
137:4 How can we sing Yahweh’s song in a foreign land?
137:5 If I forget you, Jerusalem,
let my right hand forget its skill.
137:6 Let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth if I don’t remember you;
if I don’t prefer Jerusalem above my chief joy.
137:7 Remember, Yahweh, against the children of Edom,
the day of Jerusalem;
who said, “Raze it!
Raze it even to its foundation!”
137:8 Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction,
he will be happy who rewards you,
as you have served us.
137:9 Happy shall he be,
who takes and dashes your little ones against the rock.

Psalm One Hundred Thirty Five

hymn — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 23:01:04 +0000

135:1 Praise Yah!
Praise the name of Yahweh!
Praise him, you servants of Yahweh,
135:2 you who stand in the house of Yahweh,
in the courts of our God’s house.
135:3 Praise Yah, for Yahweh is good.
Sing praises to his name, for that is pleasant.
135:4 For Yah has chosen Jacob for himself;
Israel for his own possession.
135:5 For I know that Yahweh is great,
that our Lord is above all gods.
135:6 Whatever Yahweh pleased, that he has done,
in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps;
135:7 who causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth;
who makes lightnings with the rain;
who brings forth the wind out of his treasuries;
135:8 Who struck the firstborn of Egypt,
both of man and animal;
135:9 Who sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, Egypt,
on Pharaoh, and on all his servants;
135:10 who struck many nations,
and killed mighty kings,
135:11 Sihon king of the Amorites,
Og king of Bashan,
and all the kingdoms of Canaan,
135:12 and gave their land for a heritage,
a heritage to Israel, his people.
135:13 Your name, Yahweh, endures forever;
your renown, Yahweh, throughout all generations.
135:14 For Yahweh will judge his people,
and have compassion on his servants.
135:15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold,
the work of men’s hands.
135:16 They have mouths, but they can’t speak.
They have eyes, but they can’t see.
135:17 They have ears, but they can’t hear;
neither is there any breath in their mouths.
135:18 Those who make them will be like them;
yes, everyone who trusts in them.
135:19 House of Israel, praise Yahweh!
House of Aaron, praise Yahweh!
135:20 House of Levi, praise Yahweh!
You who fear Yahweh, praise Yahweh!
135:21 Blessed be Yahweh from Zion,
Who dwells at Jerusalem.
Praise Yah!

even he who made heaven and earth.

133:1 See how good and how pleasant it is
for brothers to live together in unity!
133:2 It is like the precious oil on the head,
that ran down on the beard,
even Aaron’s beard;
that came down on the edge of his robes;
133:3 like the dew of Hermon,
that comes down on the hills of Zion:
for there Yahweh gives the blessing,
even life forevermore.

Psalm One Hundred Thirty Two

hymn — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 22:58:34 +0000

132:1 Yahweh, remember David and all his affliction,
132:2 how he swore to Yahweh,
and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
132:3 “Surely I will not come into the structure of my house,
nor go up into my bed;
132:4 I will not give sleep to my eyes,
or slumber to my eyelids;
132:5 until I find out a place for Yahweh,
a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
132:6 Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah.
We found it in the field of Jaar:
132:7 “We will go into his dwelling place.
We will worship at his footstool.
132:8 Arise, Yahweh, into your resting place;
you, and the ark of your strength.
132:9 Let your priest be clothed with righteousness.
Let your saints shout for joy!”
132:10 For your servant David’s sake,
don’t turn away the face of your anointed one.
132:11 Yahweh has sworn to David in truth.
He will not turn from it:
“I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.
132:12 If your children will keep my covenant,
my testimony that I will teach them,
their children also will sit on your throne forevermore.”
132:13 For Yahweh has chosen Zion.
He has desired it for his habitation.
132:14 “This is my resting place forever.
Here I will live, for I have desired it.
132:15 I will abundantly bless her provision.
I will satisfy her poor with bread.
132:16 Her priests I will also clothe with salvation.
Her saints will shout aloud for joy.
132:17 There I will make the horn of David to bud.
I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.
132:18 I will clothe his enemies with shame,
but on himself, his crown will be resplendent.”

Psalm One Hundred Thirty One

131:1 Yahweh, my heart isn’t haughty, nor my eyes lofty;
nor do I concern myself with great matters,
or things too wonderful for me.
131:2 Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul,
like a weaned child with his mother,
like a weaned child is my soul within me.
131:3 Israel, hope in Yahweh,
from this time forth and forevermore.
