God

Thou hast put mine acquaintance far from me; Thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.

Mine eye wasteth away by reason of affliction: I have called daily upon thee, O Jehovah; I have spread forth my hands unto thee.

Wilt thou show wonders to the dead? Shall they that are deceased arise and praise thee? [Selah

Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? Or thy faithfulness in Destruction?

Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? And thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

But unto thee, O Jehovah, have I cried; And in the morning shall my prayer come before thee.

Jehovah, why castest thou off my soul? Why hidest thou thy face from me?

I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: While I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.

Thy fierce wrath is gone over me; Thy terrors have cut me off.

Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, And mine acquaintance into darkness.

I will sing of the lovingkindness of Jehovah for ever: With my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.

For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever; Thy faithfulness wilt thou establish in the very heavens.

I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant:

Thy seed will I establish for ever, And build up thy throne to all generations. [Selah

And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O Jehovah; Thy faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.

For who in the skies can be compared unto Jehovah? Who among the sons of the mighty is like unto Jehovah,

A God very terrible in the council of the holy ones, And to be feared above all them that are round about him?

O Jehovah God of hosts, Who is a mighty one, like unto thee, O Jehovah? And thy faithfulness is round about thee.

Thou rulest the pride of the sea: When the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.

Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; Thou hast scattered thine enemies with the arm of thy strength.

The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: The world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.

The north and the south, thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon rejoice in thy name.

Thou hast a mighty arm; Strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of thy throne: Lovingkindness and truth go before thy face.

Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: They walk, O Jehovah, in the light of thy countenance.
