God

Jehovah doth judge the peoples; Judge me, O Jehovah, According to my righteousness, And according to mine integrity on me,

Let, I pray Thee be ended the evil of the wicked, And establish Thou the righteous, And a trier of hearts and reins is the righteous God.

My shield is on God, Saviour of the upright in heart!

God is a righteous judge, And He is not angry at all times.

If one turn not, His sword he sharpeneth, His bow he hath trodden--He prepareth it,

Yea, for him He hath prepared Instruments of death, His arrows for burning pursuers He maketh.

I thank Jehovah, According to His righteousness, And praise the name of Jehovah Most High!

To the Overseer, `On the Gittith.' A Psalm of David. Jehovah, our Lord, How honourable Thy name in all the earth! Who settest thine honour on the heavens.

From the mouths of infants and sucklings Thou hast founded strength, Because of Thine adversaries, To still an enemy and a self-avenger.

For I see Thy heavens, a work of Thy fingers, Moon and stars that Thou didst establish.

What is man that Thou rememberest him? The son of man that Thou inspectest him?

And causest him to lack a little of Godhead, And with honour and majesty compassest him.

Thou dost cause him to rule Over the works of Thy hands, All Thou hast placed under his feet.

Jehovah, our Lord, How honourable Thy name in all the earth!

To the Overseer, `On the Death of Labben.' --A Psalm of David. I confess, O Jehovah, with all my heart, I recount all Thy wonders,

I rejoice and exult in Thee, I praise Thy Name, O Most High.

In mine enemies turning backward, they stumble and perish from Thy face.

For Thou hast done my judgment and my right. Thou hast sat on a throne, A judge of righteousness.

Thou hast rebuked nations, Thou hast destroyed the wicked, Their name Thou hast blotted out to the age and for ever.

And Jehovah to the age abideth, He is preparing for judgment His throne.

And He judgeth the world in righteousness, He judgeth the peoples in uprightness.

And Jehovah is a tower for the bruised, A tower for times of adversity.

They trust in Thee who do know Thy name, For Thou hast not forsaken Those seeking Thee, O Jehovah.

Sing ye praise to Jehovah, inhabiting Zion, Declare ye among the peoples His acts,

For He who is seeking for blood Them hath remembered, He hath not forgotten the cry of the afflicted.
