God

And we do not go back from Thee, Thou dost revive us, and in Thy name we call.

O Jehovah, God of Hosts, turn us back, Cause Thy face to shine, and we are saved!

To the Overseer. --`On the Gittith.' By Asaph. Cry aloud to God our strength, Shout to the God of Jacob.

For a statute to Israel it is , An ordinance of the God of Jacob.

A testimony on Joseph He hath placed it, In his going forth over the land of Egypt. A lip, I have not known--I hear.

From the burden his shoulder I turned aside, His hands from the basket pass over.

In distress thou hast called and I deliver thee, I answer thee in the secret place of thunder, I try thee by the waters of Meribah. Selah.

Hear, O My people, and I testify to thee, O Israel, if thou dost hearken to me:

I am Jehovah thy God, Who bringeth thee up out of the land of Egypt. Enlarge thy mouth, and I fill it.

But, My people hearkened not to My voice, And Israel hath not consented to Me.

And I send them away in the enmity of their heart, They walk in their own counsels.

O that My people were hearkening to Me, Israel in My ways would walk.

As a little thing their enemies I cause to bow, And against their adversaries I turn back My hand,

Those hating Jehovah feign obedience to Him, But their time is--to the age.

He causeth him to eat of the fat of wheat, And with honey from a rock I satisfy thee!

--A Psalm of Asaph. God hath stood in the company of God, In the midst God doth judge.

I--I have said, `Gods ye are , And sons of the Most High--all of you,

Rise, O God, judge the earth, For Thou hast inheritance among all the nations!

A Song, --A Psalm of Asaph. O God, let there be no silence to Thee, Be not silent, nor be quiet, O God.

For, lo, Thine enemies do roar, And those hating Thee have lifted up the head,

Against Thy people they take crafty counsel, And consult against Thy hidden ones.

For they consulted in heart together, Against Thee a covenant they make,

Who have said, `Let us occupy for ourselves The comely places of God.'

O my God, make them as a rolling thing, As stubble before wind.

So dost Thou pursue them with Thy whirlwind, And with Thy hurricane troublest them.
