Israel

Thou hast made us to be a contradiction to our neighbours: and our enemies have scoffed at us.

A psalm for Asaph. God hath stood in the congregation of gods: and being in the midst of them he judgeth gods.

Rescue the poor; and deliver the needy out of the hand of the sinner.

Shew us, O Lord, thy mercy; and grant us thy salvation.

A prayer for David himself. Incline thy ear, O Lord, and hear me: for I am needy and poor.

O Lord, the God of my salvation: I have cried in the day, and in the night before thee.

For he is the Lord our God: and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand.

Go ye into his gates with praise, into his courts with hymns: and give glory to him. Praise ye his name:

At thy rebuke they shall flee: at the voice of thy thunder they shall fear.

We have sinned with our fathers: we have acted unjustly, we have wrought iniquity.

And he saved them from the hand of them that hated them: and he redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

And he said that he would destroy them: had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach: To turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.

I have loved, because the Lord will hear the voice of my prayer.

Turn, O my soul, into thy rest: for the Lord hath been bountiful to thee.

Like the precious ointment on the head, that ran down upon the beard, the beard of Aaron, Which ran down to the skirt of his garment:

Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.

Who alone doth great wonders: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Great is our Lord, and great is his power: and of his wisdom there is no number.

He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.

The praise of him is above heaven and earth: and he hath exalted the horn of his people. A hymn to all his saints to the children of Israel, a people approaching to him. Alleluia.

And many people shall go, and say: Come and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob, and he will teach us his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall come forth from Sion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the Lord.

For thou hast cast off thy people, the house of Jacob: because they are filled as in times past, and have had soothsayers as the Philistines, and have adhered to strange children.

And I will wait for the Lord, who hath hid his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.

The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.
