God

From the brightness before Him Were brands of fire kindled!

Thunder from the heavens doth Jehovah, And the Most High giveth forth His voice.

And He sendeth forth arrows, And scattereth them; Lightning, and troubleth them;

And seen are the streams of the sea, Revealed are foundations of the world, By the rebuke of Jehovah, From the breath of the spirit of His anger.

He sendeth from above--He taketh me, He draweth me out of many waters.

They are before me in a day of my calamity, And Jehovah is my support,

And He bringeth me out to a large place, He draweth me out for He delighted in me.

Jehovah recompenseth me, According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, He doth return to me.

For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not done wickedly against my God.

For all His judgments are before me, As to His statutes, I turn not from them.

And I am perfect before Him, And I keep myself from mine iniquity.

And Jehovah returneth to me, According to my righteousness, According to my cleanness before His eyes.

With the kind Thou shewest Thyself kind, With the perfect man Thou shewest Thyself perfect,

With the pure Thou shewest Thyself pure, And with the perverse Thou shewest Thyself a wrestler.

And the poor people Thou dost save, And Thine eyes on the high causest to fall.

For Thou art my lamp, O Jehovah, And Jehovah doth lighten my darkness.

For by Thee I run--a troop, By my God I leap a wall.

God! Perfect is His way, The saying of Jehovah is tried, A shield He is to all those trusting in Him.

For who is God save Jehovah? And who a Rock save our God?

God--my bulwark, my strength, And He maketh perfect my way;

And Thou givest to me the shield of Thy salvation, And Thy lowliness maketh me great.

And Thou girdest me with strength for battle, Thou causest my withstanders to bow under me.

They look, and there is no saviour; Unto Jehovah, and He hath not answered them.

Jehovah liveth, and blessed is my Rock, And exalted is my God--The Rock of my salvation.

God--who is giving vengeance to me, And bringing down peoples under me,
