God

I come in the might of the Lord Jehovah, I mention Thy righteousness--Thine only.

God, Thou hast taught me from my youth, And hitherto I declare Thy wonders.

And also unto old age and grey hairs, O God, forsake me not, Till I declare Thy strength to a generation, To every one that cometh Thy might.

And Thy righteousness, O God, is unto the heights, Because Thou hast done great things, O God, who is like Thee?

I also thank Thee with a vessel of psaltery, Thy truth, O my God, I sing to Thee with a harp, O Holy One of Israel,

My lips cry aloud when I sing praise to Thee, And my soul that Thou hast redeemed,

My tongue also all the day uttereth Thy righteousness, Because ashamed--because confounded, Have been those seeking my evil!

By Solomon. O God, Thy judgments to the king give, And Thy righteousness to the king's son.

He judgeth Thy people with righteousness, And Thy poor with judgment.

He judgeth the poor of the people, Giveth deliverance to the sons of the needy, And bruiseth the oppressor.

They fear Thee with the sun, and before the moon, Generation--generations.

His name is to the age, Before the sun is his name continued, And they bless themselves in him, All nations do pronounce him happy.

Blessed is Jehovah God, God of Israel, He alone is doing wonders,

And blessed is the Name of His honour to the age, And the whole earth is filled with His honour. Amen, and amen!

A Psalm of Asaph. Only--good to Israel is God, to the clean of heart. And I--as a little thing, My feet have been turned aside,

Therefore do His people return hither, And waters of fulness are wrung out to them.

And they have said, `How hath God known? And is there knowledge in the Most High?'

Till I come in to the sanctuaries of God, I attend to their latter end.

Only, in slippery places Thou dost set them, Thou hast caused them to fall to desolations.

As a dream from awakening, O Lord, In awaking, their image Thou despisest.

And I am brutish, and do not know. A beast I have been with Thee.

And I am continually with Thee, Thou hast laid hold on my right hand.

With Thy counsel Thou dost lead me, And after honour dost receive me.

Whom have I in the heavens? And with Thee none I have desired in earth.

Consumed hath been my flesh and my heart, The rock of my heart and my portion is God to the age.
