God

I say, `My God, take me not up in the midst of my days,' Through all generations are Thine years.

Beforetime the earth Thou didst found, And the work of Thy hands are the heavens.

They--They perish, and Thou remainest, And all of them as a garment become old, As clothing Thou changest them, And they are changed.

And Thou art the same, and Thine years are not finished.

The sons of Thy servants do continue, And their seed before Thee is established!

By David. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And all my inward parts--His Holy Name.

Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And forget not all His benefits,

Jehovah is doing righteousness and judgments For all the oppressed.

He maketh known His ways to Moses, To the sons of Israel His acts.

Merciful and gracious is Jehovah, Slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.

Not for ever doth He strive, Nor to the age doth He watch.

For, as the height of the heavens is above the earth, His kindness hath been mighty over those fearing Him.

As the distance of east from west He hath put far from us our transgressions.

As a father hath mercy on sons, Jehovah hath mercy on those fearing Him.

For He hath known our frame, Remembering that we are dust.

And the kindness of Jehovah Is from age even unto age on those fearing Him, And His righteousness to sons' sons,

To those keeping His covenant, And to those remembering His precepts to do them.

Jehovah in the heavens Hath established His throne, And His kingdom over all hath ruled.

Bless Jehovah, ye His messengers, Mighty in power--doing His word, To hearken to the voice of His Word.

Bless Jehovah, all ye His hosts, His ministers--doing His pleasure.

Bless Jehovah, all ye His works, In all places of His dominion. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah!

Bless, O my soul, Jehovah! Jehovah, my God, Thou hast been very great, Honour and majesty Thou hast put on.

Covering himself with light as a garment, Stretching out the heavens as a curtain,

Who is laying the beam of His upper chambers in the waters, Who is making thick clouds His chariot, Who is walking on wings of wind,

Making His messengers--the winds, His ministers--the flaming fire.
