God

To give rest to him from days of evil, While a pit is digged for the wicked.

For Jehovah leaveth not His people, And His inheritance forsaketh not.

Unless Jehovah were a help to me, My soul had almost inhabited silence.

If I have said, `My foot hath slipped,' Thy kindness, O Jehovah, supporteth me.

In the abundance of my thoughts within me, Thy comforts delight my soul.

Is a throne of mischief joined with Thee? A framer of perverseness by statute?

And Jehovah is for a high place to me, And my God is for a rock--my refuge,

And turneth back on them their iniquity, And in their wickedness cutteth them off; Jehovah our God doth cut them off!

Come, we sing to Jehovah, We shout to the rock of our salvation.

We come before His face with thanksgiving, With psalms we shout to Him.

For a great God is Jehovah, And a great king over all gods.

In whose hand are the deep places of earth, And the strong places of hills are His.

Whose is the sea, and He made it, And His hands formed the dry land.

Come in, we bow ourselves, and we bend, We kneel before Jehovah our Maker.

For He is our God, and we the people of His pasture, And the flock of His hand, To-day, if to His voice ye hearken,

Where your fathers have tried Me, Have proved Me, yea, have seen My work.

Forty years I am weary of the generation, And I say, `A people erring in heart--they! And they have not known My ways:'

Where I sware in Mine anger, `If they come in unto My rest--!'

Sing to Jehovah a new song, Sing to Jehovah all the earth.

Sing to Jehovah, bless His name, Proclaim from day to day His salvation.

Declare among nations His honour, Among all the peoples His wonders.

For great is Jehovah, and praised greatly, Fearful He is over all gods.

For all the gods of the peoples are nought, And Jehovah made the heavens.

Honour and majesty are before Him, Strength and beauty in His sanctuary.

Ascribe to Jehovah, O families of the peoples, Ascribe to Jehovah honour and strength.
