(1) A Prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling-place in all generations.

(2) Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever Thou hadst formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, Thou art God.

(3) Thou turnest man to contrition; And sayest: 'Return, ye children of men.'

(4) For a thousand years in Thy sight Are but as yesterday when it is past, And as a watch in the night.

(5) Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep; In the morning they are like grass which groweth up.

(6) In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; In the evening it is cut down, and withereth.

(7) For we are consumed in Thine anger, And by Thy wrath are we hurried away.

(8) Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee, Our secret sins in the light of Thy countenance.

(9) For all our days are passed away in Thy wrath; We bring our years to an end as a tale that is told.

(10) The days of our years are threescore years and ten, Or even by reason of strength fourscore years; Yet is their pride but travail and vanity; For it is speedily gone, and we fly away.

(11) Who knoweth the power of Thine anger, And Thy wrath according to the fear that is due unto Thee?

(12) So teach us to number our days, That we may get us a heart of wisdom.

(13) Return, O LORD; how long? And let it repent Thee concerning Thy servants.

(14) O satisfy us in the morning with Thy mercy; That we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

(15) Make us glad according to the days wherein Thou hast afflicted us, According to the years wherein we have seen evil.

(16) Let Thy work appear unto Thy servants, And Thy glory upon their children.

(17) And let the graciousness of the Lord our God be upon us; Establish Thou also upon us the work of our hands; Yea, the work of our hands establish Thou it.

(1) O thou that dwellest in the covert of the Most High, And abidest in the shadow of the Almighty;

(2) I will say of the LORD, who is my refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I trust,

(3) That He will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the noisome pestilence.

(4) He will cover thee with His pinions, And under His wings shalt thou take refuge; His truth is a shield and a buckler.

(5) Thou shalt not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flieth by day;

(6) Of the pestilence that walketh in darkness, Nor of the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

(7) A thousand may fall at Thy side, And ten thousand at Thy right hand; It shall not come nigh thee.

(8) Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, And see the recompense of the wicked.

(9) For thou hast made the LORD who is my refuge, Even the Most High, thy habitation.

(10) There shall no evil befall thee, Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.

(11) For He will give His angels charge over thee, To keep thee in all thy ways.

(12) They shall bear thee upon their hands, Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

(13) Thou shalt tread upon the lion and asp; The young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under feet.

(14) 'Because he hath set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he hath known My name.

(15) He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him, and bring him to honour.

(16) With long life will I satisfy him, And make Him to behold My salvation.'

(1) A Psalm, a Song. For the sabbath day.

(2) It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, And to sing praises unto Thy name, O Most High;

(3) To declare Thy lovingkindness in the morning, And Thy faithfulness in the night seasons,

(4) With an instrument of ten strings, and with the psaltery; With a solemn sound upon the harp.

(5) For Thou, LORD, hast made me glad through Thy work; I will exult in the works of Thy hands.

(6) How great are Thy works, O LORD! Thy thoughts are very deep.

(7) A brutish man knoweth not, Neither doth a fool understand this.

(8) When the wicked spring up as the grass, And when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; It is that they may be destroyed for ever.

(9) But Thou, O LORD, art on high for evermore.

(10) For, lo, Thine enemies, O LORD, For, lo, Thine enemies shall perish: All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

(11) But my horn hast Thou exalted like the horn of the wild-ox; I am anointed with rich oil.

(12) Mine eye also hath gazed on them that lie in wait for me, Mine ears have heard my desire of the evil-doers that rise up against me.

(13) The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree; He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

(14) Planted in the house of the LORD, They shall flourish in the courts of our God.

(15) They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; They shall be full of sap and richness;

(16) To declare that the LORD is upright, My Rock, in whom there is no unrighteousness.

(2) Thy throne is established of old; Thou art from everlasting.

(3) The floods have lifted up, O LORD, The floods have lifted up their voice; The floods lift up their roaring.

(4) Above the voices of many waters, The mighty breakers of the sea, The LORD on high is mighty.

(5) Thy testimonies are very sure, Holiness becometh Thy house, O LORD, for evermore.

(1) O LORD, Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, shine forth.

(2) Lift up Thyself, Thou Judge of the earth; Render to the proud their recompense.

(3) LORD, how long shall the wicked, How long shall the wicked exult?

(4) They gush out, they speak arrogancy; All the workers of iniquity bear themselves loftily.

(5) They crush Thy people, O LORD, And afflict Thy heritage.

(6) They slay the widow and the stranger, And murder the fatherless.

(7) And they say: 'The LORD will not see, Neither will the God of Jacob give heed.'

(8) Consider, ye brutish among the people; And ye fools, when will ye understand?

(9) He that planted the ear, shall He not hear? He that formed the eye, shall He not see?

(10) He that instructeth nations, shall not He correct? Even He that teacheth man knowledge?

(11) The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, That they are vanity.

(12) Happy is the man whom Thou instructest, O LORD, And teachest out of Thy law;

(13) That Thou mayest give him rest from the days of evil, Until the pit be digged for the wicked.

(14) For the LORD will not cast off His people, Neither will He forsake His inheritance.

(15) For right shall return unto justice, And all the upright in heart shall follow it.

(16) Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?

(17) Unless the LORD had been my help, My soul had soon dwelt in silence.

(18) If I say: 'My foot slippeth', Thy mercy, O LORD, holdeth me up.

(19) When my cares are many within me, Thy comforts delight my soul.

(20) Shall the seat of wickedness have fellowship with Thee, Which frameth mischief by statute?

(21) They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, And condemn innocent blood.

(22) But the LORD hath been my high tower, And my God the rock of my refuge.

(23) And He hath brought upon them their own iniquity, And will cut them off in their own evil; The LORD our God will cut them off.

(4) In whose hand are the depths of the earth; The heights of the mountains are His also.

(5) The sea is His, and He made it; And His hands formed the dry land.

(6) O come, let us bow down and bend the knee; Let us kneel before the LORD our Maker;

(7) For He is our God, And we are the people of His pasture, and the flock of His hand. To-day, if ye would but hearken to His voice!

(8) 'Harden not your heart, as at Meribah, As in the day of Massah in the wilderness;

(9) When your fathers tried Me, Proved Me, even though they saw My work.

(10) For forty years was I wearied with that generation, And said: It is a people that do err in their heart, And they have not known My ways;

(11) Wherefore I swore in My wrath, That they should not enter into My rest.'

(4) For great is the LORD, and highly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods. .

(5) For all the gods of the peoples are things of nought; But the LORD made the heavens.

(6) Honour and majesty are before Him; Strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.

(7) Ascribe unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the peoples, Ascribe unto the LORD glory and strength.

(8) Ascribe unto the LORD the glory due unto His name; Bring an offering, and come into His courts.

(9) O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness; Tremble before Him, all the earth.

(10) Say among the nations: 'The LORD reigneth.' The world also is established that it cannot be moved; He will judge the peoples with equity.

(11) Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof;

(12) Let the field exult; and all that is therein; Then shall all the trees of the wood sing for joy;

(13) Before the LORD, for He is come; For He is come to judge the earth; He will judge the world with righteousness, And the peoples in His faithfulness.

(6) The heavens declared His righteousness, And all the peoples saw His glory.

(7) Ashamed be all they that serve graven images, That boast themselves of things of nought; Bow down to Him, all ye gods.

(8) Zion heard and was glad, And the daughters of Judah rejoiced; Because of Thy judgments, O LORD.

(9) For Thou, LORD, art most high above all the earth; Thou art exalted far above all gods.

(10) O ye that love the LORD, hate evil; He preserveth the souls of His saints; He delivered them out of the hand of the wicked.

(12) Be glad in the LORD, ye righteous; And give thanks to His holy name.

(2) O LORD, hear my prayer, and let my cry come unto Thee.

(3) Hide 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.

(4) For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as a hearth.

(5) My heart is smitten like grass, and withered; for I forget to eat my bread.

(6) By reason of the voice of my sighing My bones cleave to my flesh.

(7) I am like a pelican of the wilderness; I am become as an owl of the waste places.

(8) I watch, and am become like a sparrow that is alone upon the housetop.

(9) Mine enemies taunt me all the day; they that are mad against me do curse by me.

(10) For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,

(11) Because of Thine indignation and Thy wrath; for Thou hast taken me up, and cast me away.

(12) My days are like a lengthening shadow; and I am withered like grass.

(13) But Thou, O LORD, sittest enthroned for ever; and Thy name is unto all generations.

(14) Thou wilt arise, and have compassion upon Zion; for it is time to be gracious unto her, for the appointed time is come.

(15) For Thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and love her dust.

(16) So the nations will fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth Thy glory;

(17) When the LORD hath built up Zion, when He hath appeared in His glory;

(18) When He hath regarded the prayer of the destitute, And hath not despised their prayer.

(19) This shall be written for the generation to come; And a people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.

(20) For He hath looked down from the height of His sanctuary; From heaven did the LORD behold the earth;

(21) To hear the groaning of the prisoner; To loose those that are appointed to death;

(22) That men may tell of the name of the LORD in Zion, And His praise in Jerusalem; .

(23) When the peoples are gathered together, And the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.

(24) He weakened my strength in the way; He shortened my days.

(25) I say: 'O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days, Thou whose years endure throughout all generations.

(26) Of old Thou didst lay the foundation of the earth; And the heavens are the work of Thy hands.

(27) They 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 pass away;

(28) But Thou art the selfsame, And Thy years shall have no end.

(29) The children of Thy servants shall dwell securely, And their seed shall be established before Thee.'

(1) [A Psalm] of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name.

(2) Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits;

(3) Who forgiveth all thine iniquity; Who healeth all Thy diseases;

(4) Who redeemeth Thy life from the pit; Who encompasseth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

(5) Who satisfieth thine old age with good things; So that Thy youth is renewed like the eagle.

(6) The LORD executeth righteousness, And acts of justice for all that are oppressed.

(7) He made known His ways unto Moses, His doings unto the children of Israel.

(8) The LORD is full of compassion and gracious, Slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

(9) He will not always contend; Neither will He keep His anger for ever.

(10) He hath not dealt with us after our sins, Nor requited us according to our iniquities.

(11) For as the heaven is high above the earth, So great is His mercy toward them that fear Him.

(12) As far as the east is from the west, So far hath He removed our transgressions from us.

(13) Like as a father hath compassion upon his children, So hath the LORD compassion upon them that fear Him. .

(14) For He knoweth our frame; He remembereth that we are dust.

(15) As for man, his days are as grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

(16) For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; And the place thereof knoweth it no more.

(17) But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear Him, And His righteousness unto children's children;

(18) To such as keep His covenant, And to those that remember His precepts to do them.

(19) The LORD hath established His throne in the heavens; And His kingdom ruleth over all.

(20) Bless the LORD, ye angels of His, Ye mighty in strength, that fulfil His word, Hearkening unto the voice of His word.

(21) Bless the LORD, all ye His hosts; Ye ministers of His, that do His pleasure.

(22) Bless the LORD, all ye His works, In all places of His dominion; Bless the LORD, O my soul.

(1) Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, Thou art very great; Thou art clothed with glory and majesty.

(2) Who coverest Thyself with light as with a garment, who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain;

(3) Who layest the beams of Thine upper chambers in the waters, who makest the clouds Thy chariot, who walkest upon the wings of the wind;

(4) Who makest winds Thy messengers, the flaming fire Thy ministers.

(5) Who didst establish the earth upon its foundations, that it should not be moved for ever and ever;

(6) Thou didst cover it with the deep as with a vesture; the waters stood above the mountains.

(7) At Thy rebuke they fled, at the voice of Thy thunder they hasted away—

(8) The mountains rose, the valleys sank down— Unto the place which Thou hadst founded for them;

(9) Thou didst set a bound which they should not pass over, That they might not return to cover the earth.

(10) Who sendest forth springs into the valleys; They run between the mountains;

(11) They give drink to every beast of the field, The wild asses quench their thirst. .

(12) Beside them dwell the fowl of the heaven, From among the branches they sing.

(13) Who waterest the mountains from Thine upper chambers; The earth is full of the fruit of Thy works.

(14) Who causeth the grass to spring up for the cattle, And herb for the service of man; To bring forth bread out of the earth,

(15) And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, Making the face brighter than oil, And bread that stayeth man's heart.

(16) The trees of the LORD have their fill, The cedars of Lebanon, which He hath planted;

(17) Wherein the birds make their nests; As for the stork, the fir-trees are her house.

(18) The high mountains are for the wild goats; The rocks are a refuge for the conies.

(19) Who appointedst the moon for seasons; The sun knoweth his going down.

(20) Thou makest darkness, and it is night, Wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.

(21) The young lions roar after their prey, And seek their food from God.

(22) The sun ariseth, they slink away, And couch in their dens.

(23) Man goeth forth unto his work And to his labour until the evening.

(24) How manifold are Thy works, O LORD! In wisdom hast Thou made them all; The earth is full of Thy creatures.

(25) Yonder sea, great and wide, Therein are creeping things innumerable, Living creatures, both small and great.

(26) There go the ships; There is leviathan, whom Thou hast formed to sport therein.

(27) All of them wait for Thee, That Thou mayest give them their food in due season.

(28) Thou givest it unto them, they gather it; Thou openest Thy hand, they are satisfied with good.

(29) Thou hidest Thy face, they vanish; Thou withdrawest their breath, they perish, And return to their dust.

(30) Thou sendest forth Thy spirit, they are created; and Thou renewest the face of the earth.

(31) May the glory of the LORD endure for ever; let the LORD rejoice in His works!

(32) Who looketh on the earth, and it trembleth; He toucheth the mountains, and they smoke.

(33) I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.

(34) Let my musing be sweet unto Him; as for me, I will rejoice in the LORD.

(35) Let sinners cease out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless the LORD, O my soul. Hallelujah.

(1) O give thanks unto the LORD, call upon His name; Make known His doings among the peoples.

(2) Sing unto Him, sing praises unto Him; Speak ye of all His marvellous works.

(3) Glory ye in His holy name; Let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.

(4) Seek ye the LORD and His strength; Seek His face continually.

(5) Remember His marvellous works that He hath done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth;

(6) O ye seed of Abraham His servant, Ye children of Jacob, His chosen ones.

(7) He is the LORD our God; His judgments are in all the earth.

(8) He hath remembered His covenant for ever, The word which He commanded to a thousand generations;

(9) [The covenant] which He made with Abraham, And His oath unto Isaac;

(10) And He established it unto Jacob for a statute, To Israel for an everlasting covenant;

(11) Saying: 'Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance.'

(12) When they were but a few men in number. Yea, very few, and sojourners in it,

(13) And when they went about from nation to nation, From one kingdom to another people,

(14) He suffered no man to do them wrong, Yea, for their sake He reproved kings:

(15) 'Touch not Mine anointed ones, And do My prophets no harm.'

(16) And He called a famine upon the land; He broke the whole staff of bread.

(17) He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a servant;

(18) His feet they hurt with fetters, His person was laid in iron;

(19) Until the time that his word came to pass, The word of the LORD tested him.

(20) The king sent and loosed him; Even the ruler of the peoples, and set him free.

(21) He made him lord of his house, And ruler of all his possessions;

(22) To bind his princes at his pleasure, And teach his elders wisdom.

(23) Israel also came into Egypt; And Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

(24) And He increased His people greatly, And made them too mighty for their adversaries.

(25) He turned their heart to hate His people, To deal craftily with His servants.

(26) He sent Moses His servant, And Aaron whom He had chosen.

(27) They wrought among them His manifold signs, And wonders in the land of Ham.

(28) He sent darkness, and it was dark; And they rebelled not against His word.

(29) He turned their waters into blood, And slew their fish.

(30) Their land swarmed with frogs, In the chambers of their kings.

(31) He spoke, and there came swarms of flies, And gnats in all their borders.

(32) He gave them hail for rain, And flaming fire in their land.

(33) He smote their vines also and their fig-trees; And broke the trees of their borders.

(34) He spoke, and the locust came, And the canker-worm without number,

(35) And did eat up every herb in their land, And did eat up the fruit of their ground.

(36) He smote also all the first-born in their land, The first-fruits of all their strength.

(37) And He brought them forth with silver and gold; And there was none that stumbled among His tribes.

(38) Egypt was glad when they departed; For the fear of them had fallen upon them.

(39) He spread a cloud for a screen; And fire to give light in the night.

(40) They asked, and He brought quails, And gave them in plenty the bread of heaven.

(41) He opened the rock, and waters gushed out; They ran, a river in the dry places.

(42) For He remembered His holy word Unto Abraham His servant;

(43) And He brought forth His people with joy, His chosen ones with singing.

(44) And He gave them the lands of the nations, And they took the labour of the peoples in possession;

(45) That they might keep His statutes, And observe His laws. Hallelujah.

(1) Hallelujah. O give thanks unto the LORD; for He is good; for His mercy endureth for ever.

(2) Who can express the mighty acts of the LORD, or make all His praise to be heard?

(3) Happy are they that keep justice, that do righteousness at all times.

(4) Remember me, O LORD, when Thou favourest Thy people; O think of me at Thy salvation;

(5) That I may behold the prosperity of Thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of Thy nation, that I may glory with Thine inheritance.

(6) We have sinned with our fathers, we have done iniquitously, we have dealt wickedly.

(7) Our fathers in Egypt gave no heed unto Thy wonders; they remembered not the multitude of Thy mercies; but were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.

(8) Nevertheless He saved them for His name's sake, that He might make His mighty power to be known.

(9) And He rebuked the Red Sea, and it was dried up; and He led them through the depths, as through a wilderness.

(10) And He saved them from the hand of him that hated them, And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

(11) And the waters covered their adversaries; There was not one of them left.

(12) Then believed they His words; They sang His praise.

(13) They soon forgot His works; They waited not for His counsel;

(14) But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, And tried God in the desert.

(15) And He gave them their request; But sent leanness into their soul.

(16) They were jealous also of Moses in the camp, And of Aaron the holy one of the LORD.

(17) The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, And covered the company of Abiram.

(18) And a fire was kindled in their company; The flame burned up the wicked.

(19) They made a calf in Horeb, And worshipped a molten image.

(20) Thus they exchanged their glory For the likeness of an ox that eateth grass.

(21) They forgot God their saviour, Who had done great things in Egypt;

(22) Wondrous works in the land of Ham, Terrible things by the Red Sea.

(23) Therefore He said that He would destroy them, Had not Moses His chosen stood before Him in the breach, To turn back His wrath, lest He should destroy them.

(24) Moreover, they scorned the desirable land, They believed not His word;

(25) And they murmured in their tents, They hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.

(26) Therefore He swore concerning them, That He would overthrow them in the wilderness;

(27) And that He would cast out their seed among the nations, And scatter them in the lands.

(28) They joined themselves also unto Baal of Peor, And ate the sacrifices of the dead.

(29) Thus they provoked Him with their doings, And the plague broke in upon them.

(30) Then stood up Phinehas, and wrought judgment, And so the plague was stayed.

(31) And that was counted unto him for righteousness, Unto all generations for ever.

(32) They angered Him also at the waters of Meribah, And it went ill with Moses because of them;

(33) For they embittered his spirit, And he spoke rashly with his lips.

(34) They did not destroy the peoples, As the LORD commanded them;

(35) But mingled themselves with the nations, And learned their works;

(36) And they served their idols, Which became a snare unto them;

(37) Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto demons,

(38) And 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.

(39) Thus were they defiled with their works, And went astray in their doings.

(40) Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against His people, And He abhorred His inheritance.

(41) And He gave them into the hand of the nations; And they that hated them ruled over them.

(42) Their enemies also oppressed them, And they were subdued under their hand.

(43) Many times did He deliver them; But they were rebellious in their counsel, And sank low through their iniquity.

(44) Nevertheless He looked upon their distress, When He heard their cry;

(45) And He remembered for them His covenant, And repented according to the multitude of His mercies.

(46) He made them also to be pitied Of all those that carried them captive.

(47) Save us, O LORD our God, And gather us from among the nations, That we may give thanks unto Thy holy name, That we may triumph in Thy praise.

(48) Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting, and let all the people say: 'Amen.' Hallelujah.
