Israel

For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place.

¶ To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of Asaph. Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.

For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.

¶ O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.

¶ To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. LORD, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.

The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.

The king's strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.

He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.

O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.

And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:

Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

¶ When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;

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

For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure.

¶ Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:

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

He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the LORD.

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

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

¶ Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers.

And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth 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.
