God

In Thee did our fathers trust--they trusted, And Thou dost deliver them.

Unto Thee they cried, and were delivered, In Thee they trusted, and were not ashamed.

`Roll unto Jehovah, He doth deliver him, He doth deliver him, for he delighted in him.'

For thou art He bringing me forth from the womb, Causing me to trust, On the breasts of my mother.

On Thee I have been cast from the womb, From the belly of my mother Thou art my God.

Dried up as an earthen vessel is my power, And my tongue is cleaving to my jaws.

And Thou, O Jehovah, be not far off, O my strength, to help me haste.

Save me from the mouth of a lion: --And--from the horns of the high places Thou hast answered me!

I declare Thy name to my brethren, In the midst of the assembly I praise Thee.

Ye who fear Jehovah, praise ye Him, All the seed of Jacob, honour ye Him, And be afraid of Him, all ye seed of Israel.

For He hath not despised, nor abominated, The affliction of the afflicted, Nor hath He hidden His face from him, And in his crying unto Him He heareth.

Of Thee my praise is in the great assembly. My vows I complete before His fearers.

The humble do eat and are satisfied, Praise Jehovah do those seeking Him, Your heart doth live for ever.

Remember and return unto Jehovah, Do all ends of the earth, And before Thee bow themselves, Do all families of the nations,

For to Jehovah is the kingdom, And He is ruling among nations.

And the fat ones of earth have eaten, And they bow themselves, Before Him bow do all going down to dust, And he who hath not revived his soul.

A seed doth serve Him, It is declared of the Lord to the generation.

They come and declare His righteousness, To a people that is borne, that He hath made!

A Psalm of David. Jehovah is my shepherd, I do not lack,

In pastures of tender grass He causeth me to lie down, By quiet waters He doth lead me.

My soul He refresheth, He leadeth me in paths of righteousness, For His name's sake,

Also--when I walk in a valley of death-shade, I fear no evil, for Thou art with me, Thy rod and Thy staff--they comfort me.

Thou arrangest before me a table, Over-against my adversaries, Thou hast anointed with oil my head, My cup is full!

Only--goodness and kindness pursue me, All the days of my life, And my dwelling is in the house of Jehovah, For a length of days!

A Psalm of David. To Jehovah is the earth and its fulness, The world and the inhabitants in it.
