1 How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts! 2 My soul longs, and faints for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh have exulted in the living God. 3 yea, the sparrow has found himself a home, and the turtle-dove a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O Lord of hosts, my King, and my God.
4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will praise thee evermore. Pause. 5 Blessed is the man whose help is of thee, O Lord; in his heart he has purposed to go up 6 the valley of weeping, to the place which he has appointed, for there the law-giver will grant blessings. 7 They shall go from strength to strength: the God of gods shall be seen in Sion.

2 For behold, thine enemies have made a noise; and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. 3 Against thy people they have craftily imagined a device, and have taken counsel against thy saints. 4 They have said, Come, and let us utterly destroy them out of the nation; and let the name of Israel be remembered no more at all. 5 For they have taken counsel together with one consent: they have made a confederacy against thee; 6 even the tents of the Idumeans, and the Ismaelites; Moab, and the Agarenes; 7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalec; the Philistines also, with them that dwell at Tyre. 8 Yea, Assur too is come with them: they have become a help to the children of Lot. Pause.
9 Do thou to them as to Madiam, and to Sisera; as to Jabin at the brook of Kison. 10 They were utterly destroyed at Aendor: they became as dung for the earth. 11 Make their princes as Oreb and Zeb, and Zebee

1 God stands in the assembly of gods; and in the midst of them will judge gods. How long will ye judge unrighteously, and accept the persons of sinners? Pause. 3 Judge the orphan and poor: do justice to the low and needy. 4 Rescue the needy, and deliver the poor out of the hand of the sinner.
5 They know not, nor understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth shall be shaken. 6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you children of the Most High. 7 But ye die as men, and fall as one of the princes.
8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.

He removed his back from burdens: his hands slaved in making the baskets. 7 Thou didst call upon me in trouble, and I delivered thee; I heard thee in the secret place of the storm: I proved thee at the water of Strife. Pause. 8 Hear, my people, and I will speak to thee, O Israel; and I will testify to thee: if thou wilt hearken to me; 9 there shall be no new god in thee; neither shalt thou worship a strange god. 10 For I am the Lord thy God, that brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. 11 But my people hearkened not to my voice; and Israel gave no heed to me. 12 So I let them go after the ways of their own hearts: they will go in their own ways.

1 Attend, O Shepherd of Israel, who guidest Joseph like a flock; thou who sittest upon the cherubs, manifest thyself; 2 before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasse, stir up thy power, and come to deliver us. 3 Turn us, O God, and cause they face to shine; and we shall be delivered.
4 O Lord God of hosts, how long art thou angry with the prayer of thy servant? 5 Thou wilt feed us with bread of tears; and wilt cause us to drink tears by measure. 6 Thou hast made us a strife to our neighbours; and our enemies have mocked at us. 7 Turn us, O Lord God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.

1 O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; they have polluted thy holy temple; they have made Jerusalem a storehouse of fruits. 2 They have given the dead bodies of thy servants to be food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of thy holy ones for the wild beasts of the earth. 3 They have shed their blood as water, round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them. 4 We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.
5 How long, O Lord? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire? 6 Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms which have not called upon thy name. 7 For they have devoured Jacob, and laid his place waste.

he Lord heard, and was provoked: and fire was kindled in Jacob, and wrath went up against Israel. 22 Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation. 23 Yet he commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven. 24 and rained upon them manna to eat, and gave them the bread of heaven. 25 Man ate angels’ bread; he sent them provision to the full.

1 I cried to the Lord with my voice, yea, my voice was addressed to God; and he gave heed to me. 2 In the day of mine affliction I earnestly sought the Lord; even with my hands by night before him, and I was not deceived; my soul refused to be comforted. 3 I remembered God, and rejoiced; I poured out my complaint, and my soul fainted. Pause. 4 All mine enemies set a watch against me: I was troubled, and spoke not.

1 God is known in Judea; his name is great in Israel. 2 And his place has been in peace, and his dwelling-place in Sion. 3 There he broke the power of the bows, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Pause.
4 Thou dost wonderfully shine forth from the everlasting mountains. 5 All the simple ones in heart were troubled; all the men of wealth have slept their sleep, and have found nothing in their hands. 6 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, the riders on horses slumbered. 7 Thou art terrible; and who shall withstand thee, because of thine anger? 8 Thou didst cause judgement to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still, 9 when God arose to judgment to save all the meek in heart. Pause.
10 For the inward thought of man shall give thanks to thee: and the memorial of his inward thought shall keep a feast to thee. 11 Vow and pay your vows to the Lord our God; all that are round about him shall bring gifts, even to him that is terrible, 12 and that takes away the spirits of princes; to him that is terrible among the kings of the earth.

1 We will give thanks to thee, O God, we will give thanks, and call upon thy name: I will declare all thy wonderful works. 2 When I shall take a set time, I will judge righteously. 3 The earth is dissolved, and all that dwell in it: I have strengthened its pillars. Pause.
4 I said unto the transgressors, Do not transgress; and to the sinners, Lift not up the horn. 5 Lift not up your horn on high; speak not unrighteousness against God. 6 For good comes neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert mountains. 7 For God is the judge; he puts down one, and raises up another. 8 For there is a cup in the hand of the Lord, full of unmingled wine; and he has turned it from side to side, but its dregs have not been wholly poured out; all the sinners of the earth shall drink them.
9 But I will exult for ever: I will sing praises to the God of Jacob. 10 And I will break all the horns of the sinners; but the horns of the righteous one shall be exalted.
