4 To him who alone has wrought great wonders: for his mercy endures for ever. 5 To him who made the heavens by understanding; for his mercy endures for ever. 6 To him who established the earth on the waters; for his mercy endures for ever. 7 To him who alone made great lights; for his mercy endures for ever. 8 The sun to rule the day; for his mercy endures for ever. 9 The moon and the stars to rule the night; for his mercy endures for ever.
10 To him who smote Egypt with their first-born; for his mercy endures for ever. 11 And brought Israel out of the midst of them; for his mercy endures for ever. 12 with a strong hand, and a high arm: for his mercy endures for ever. 13 To him who divided the Red Sea into parts: for his mercy endures for ever. 14 and brought Israel through the midst of it: for his mercy endures for ever: 15 and overthrew Pharao and his host in the Red Sea: for his mercy endures for ever. 16 To him who led his people through the wilderness: for his mercy endures for ever.

4 For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure. 5 For I know that the Lord is great, and our Lord is above all gods; 6 all that the Lord willed, he did in heaven, and on the earth, in the sea, and in all deeps. 7 Who brings up clouds from the extremity of the earth: he has made lightnings for the rain: he brings winds out of his treasures. 8 Who smote the first-born of Egypt, both of man and beast. 9 He sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, on Pharao, and on all his servants. 10 Who smote many nations, and slew mighty kings; 11 Seon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Basan, and all the kingdoms of Chanaan: 12 and gave their land for an inheritance, an inheritance to Israel his people.

1 Behold now, bless ye the Lord, all the servants of the Lord, who stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God. 2 Lift up your hands by night in the sanctuaries, and bless the Lord. 3 May the Lord, who made heaven and earth, bless the out of Sion.

1 See now! what is so good, or what so pleasant, as for brethren to dwell together? 2 It is as ointment on the head, that ran down to the beard, even the beard of Aaron; that ran down to the fringe of his clothing. 3 As the dew of Aermon, that comes down on the mountains of Sion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for ever.

11 the Lord sware in truth to David, and he will not annul it, saying, Of the fruit of thy body will I set a king upon thy throne. 12 If thy children will keep my covenant, and these my testimonies which I shall teach them, their children also shall sit upon thy throne for ever. 13 For the Lord has elected Sion, he has chosen her for a habitation for himself, saying, 14 This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have chosen it. 15 I will surely bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread. 16 I will clothe her priests with salvation; and her saints shall greatly exult. 17 There will I cause to spring up a horn to David: I have prepared a lamp for mine anointed

O Lord, my heart is not exalted, neither have mine eyes been haughtily raised: neither have I exercised myself in great matters, nor in things too wonderful for me. 2 I shall have sinned if I have not been humble, but have exalted my soul: according to the relation of a weaned child to his mother, so wilt thou recompense my soul. 3 Let Israel hope in the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.

1 Out of the depths have I cried to thee, O Lord. 2 O Lord, hearken to my voice; let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication. 3 If thou, O Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? 4 For with thee is forgiveness: for thy name’s sake 5 have I waited for thee, O Lord, my soul has waited for thy word. 6 My soul has hoped in the Lord; from the morning watch till night.
7 Let Israel hope in the Lord: for with the Lord is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption. 8 And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

1 Many a time have they warred against me from my youth, let Israel now say: 2 Many a time have they warred against me from my youth: and yet they prevailed not against me. 3 The sinners wrought upon my back: they prolonged their iniquity. 4 The righteous Lord has cut asunder the necks of sinners.
5 Let all that hate Sion be put to shame and turned back. 6 Let them be as the grass of the house-tops, which whithers before it is plucked up. 7 Wherewith the reaper fills not his hand, nor he that makes up the sheaves, his bosom. 8 Neither do they that go by say, The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we have blessed you in the name of the Lord.

1 Blessed are all they that fear the Lord; who walk in his ways. 2 Thou shalt eat labours of thy hands: blessed art thou, and it shall be well with thee. 3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine on the sides of thy house: thy children as young olive-plants round about thy table.
4 Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that fears the Lord. 5 May the Lord bless thee out of Sion; and mayest thou see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of thy life. 6 And mayest thou see thy children’s children. Peace be upon Israel.

1 Except the Lord build the house, they that build labour in vain: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman watches in vain. 2 It is vain for you to rise early: ye rise up after resting, ye that eat the bread of grief; while he gives sleep to his beloved.
3 Behold, the inheritance of the Lord, children, the reward of the fruit of the womb. 4 As arrows in the hand of a mighty man; so are the children of those who were outcasts. 5 Blessed is the man who shall satisfy his desire with them: they shall not be ashamed when they shall speak to their enemies in the gates.
