God

Fear Jehovah, ye His holy ones, For there is no lack to those fearing Him.

Young lions have lacked and been hungry, And those seeking Jehovah lack not any good,

Come ye, children, hearken to me, The fear of Jehovah I do teach you.

The eyes of Jehovah are unto the righteous, And His ears unto their cry.

(The face of Jehovah is on doers of evil, To cut off from earth their memorial.)

They cried, and Jehovah heard, And from all their distresses delivered them.

Near is Jehovah to the broken of heart, And the bruised of spirit He saveth.

Many are the evils of the righteous, Out of them all doth Jehovah deliver him.

Jehovah redeemeth the soul of His servants, And none trusting in Him are desolate!

By David. Strive, Jehovah, with my strivers, fight with my fighters,

They are as chaff before wind, And a messenger of Jehovah driving away.

Their way is darkness and slipperiness, And a messenger of Jehovah their pursuer.

And my soul is joyful in Jehovah, It rejoiceth in His salvation.

All my bones say, `Jehovah, who is like Thee, Delivering the poor from the stronger than he, And the poor and needy from his plunderer.'

Lord, how long dost thou behold? Keep back my soul from their desolations, From young lions my only one.

I thank Thee in a great assembly, Among a mighty people I praise Thee.

Thou hast seen, O Jehovah, Be not silent, O Lord--be not far from me,

Stir up, and wake to my judgment, My God, and my Lord, to my plea.

Judge me according to Thy righteousness, O Jehovah my God, And they do not rejoice over me.

They sing and rejoice, who are desiring my righteousness, And they say continually, `Jehovah is magnified, Who is desiring the peace of His servant.'

And my tongue uttereth Thy righteousness, All the day Thy praise!

To the Overseer. --By a servant of Jehovah, by David. The transgression of the wicked Is affirming within my heart, `Fear of God is not before his eyes,

O Jehovah, in the heavens is Thy kindness, Thy faithfulness is unto the clouds.

Thy righteousness is as mountains of God, Thy judgments are a great deep. Man and beast Thou savest, O Jehovah.

How precious is Thy kindness, O God, And the sons of men In the shadow of Thy wings do trust.
