God

Then we won't turn away from you if you revive us, we will call on your name.

ADONAI, God of armies, restore us! Make your face shine, and we will be saved.

For the Leader. On the gittit. By Asaf: Sing for joy to God our strength! Shout to the God of Ya'akov!

because this is a law for Isra'el, a ruling of the God of Ya'akov.

He placed it as a testimony in Y'hosef when he went out against the land of Egypt. I heard an unfamiliar voice say,

"I lifted the load from his shoulder; his hands were freed from the [laborer's] basket.

You called out when you were in trouble, and I rescued you; I answered you from the thundercloud; I tested you at the M'rivah Spring [by saying,] (Selah)

"'Hear, my people, while I give you warning! Isra'el, if you would only listen to me!

I am ADONAI your God, who brought you up from the land of Egypt. Open your mouth, and I will fill it.'

"But my people did not listen to my voice; Isra'el would have none of me.

So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts, to live by their own plans.

How I wish my people would listen to me, that Isra'el would live by my ways!

I would quickly subdue their enemies and turn my hand against their foes.

Those who hate ADONAI would cringe before him, while [Isra'el's] time would last forever.

They would be fed with the finest wheat, and I would satisfy you with honey from the rocks."

A psalm of Asaf: Elohim [God] stands in the divine assembly; there with the elohim [judges], he judges:

"My decree is: 'You are elohim [gods, judges], sons of the Most High all of you.

Rise up, Elohim, and judge the earth; for all the nations are yours.

A song. A psalm of Asaf: God, don't remain silent! Don't stay quiet, God, or still;

because here are your enemies, causing an uproar; those who hate you are raising their heads,

craftily conspiring against your people, consulting together against those you treasure.

With one mind they plot their schemes; the covenant they have made is against you

who said, "Let's take possession of God's meadows for ourselves."

My God, make them like whirling dust, like chaff driven by the wind.

drive them away with your storm, terrify them with your tempest.
