Psalms 86:1-150:6

ECB(i) 1 A Prayer by David. Spread your ear, O Yah Veh; answer me; for I am humble and needy: 2 guard my soul; for I am mercied: O you, my Elohim, save your servant who confides in you; 3 grant me charism, O Adonay, for I call to you all day: 4 cheer the soul of your servant for to you, O Adonay, I lift my soul: 5 for you, O Adonay, are good and forgiving - abundant in mercy to all who call on you. 6 Hearken, O Yah Veh, to my prayer; hearken to the voice of my supplications: 7 in the day of my tribulation I call on you for you answer me: 8 Among the elohim, no one is likened to you, O Adonay; no works like yours. 9 All the goyim you worked come and prostrate at your face, O Adonay, and honor your name: 10 for you are great and work marvels; you alone are Elohim. 11 Teach me your way, O Yah Veh; I walk in your truth: unify my heart to awe your name. 12 I spread hands to you, O Adonay my Elohim, with all my heart; and honor your name eternally. 13 For great is your mercy toward me; you rescue my soul from the nethermost sheol. 14 O Elohim, the arrogant rise against me and the witnesses of tyrants seek my soul; they set you not in front of them. 15 But you, O Adonay, are El - full of mercy and charismatic; slow to wrath and abundant in mercy and truth. 16 O face me, and grant me charism; give your servant strength and save the son of your maid: 17 work me a sign for good; that they who hate me see it and shame: because you, O Yah Veh, help me and sigh over me. 87 1 A Psalm: A Song for the sons of Qorach. His foundation is in the holy mountains; 2 Yah Veh loves the portals of Siyon more than all the tabernacles of Yaaqov: 3 honors are worded of you, O city of Elohim. Selah. 4 I remember Rahab and Babel to them who know me; behold Pelesheth and Sor with Kush; this one was birthed there. 5 And of Siyon it says, This man and that man were birthed in her; and Elyon himself establishes her. 6 When he charts the people, Yah Veh scribes, this one was birthed there. Selah. 7 The singers as well as the pluckers - all my fountains are in you. 88 1 A Song, a Psalm for the sons of Qorach; To His Eminence; On Stroking the Humbled; On Comprehension: By Heman the Zerachiy. O Yah Veh Elohim of my salvation, in the day I cry; and at night in front of you; 2 my prayer comes at your face: spread your ear to my shouting; 3 for my soul satiates with evil and my life touches to sheol: 4 I am fabricated with them descending the well; I - a mighty having no might; 5 liberated among the dead as pierced lying in the tomb whom you remember no more: and they are cut off from your hand. 6 You place me in the nethermost well - in darkness - in the deeps: 7 your fury props on me and you humble me with all your waves. Selah. 8 You far removed them whom I know; you place me an abhorrence to them - restrained - I come not forth: 9 my eye languishes from humiliation; O Yah Veh, I call on you daily; I spread my palms to you. 10 Work you marvels to the dead? Rise the ghosts? Spread they hands to you? Selah. 11 Is your mercy scribed in the tomb? - your trustworthiness in Abaddon? 12 - your marvels known in the dark? - your justness in the land of oblivion? 13 And I - to you I cried, O Yah Veh; and in the morning my prayer anticipates you. 14 O Yah Veh, why cast you my soul? Why hide your face from me? 15 I am humbled - expiring since ladhood; I bear your terrors - perplexed; 16 your fuming passes over me; your terrors exterminate me; 17 surrounding me all day as water: they altogether surround me. 18 You far removed lover and friend from me and they whom I know into darkness. 89 1 On Comprehension: By Ethan the Zerachiy. I sing of the mercies of Yah Veh eternally; with my mouth I make known your trustworthiness generation to generation. 2 For I say, your mercy builds eternally; your trustworthiness establishes in the very heavens: 3 I cut a covenant with my chosen; I oathed to David my servant: 4 your seed establishes eternally and builds your throne generation to generation. Selah. 5 And the heavens spread hands to your marvels, O Yah Veh; to your trustworthiness in the congregation of the holy: 6 Who in the vapours ranks with Yah Veh? Who among the sons of El likens to Yah Veh? 7 El is greatly to be awed in the private counsel of the holy; and awed over them who are all around him. 8 O Yah Elohim Sabaoth, Who is a powerful Yah likened to you? Or to your trustworthiness all around you? 9 You reign over the rising of the sea; the waves rise, you laud them: 10 you crush Rahab as one pierced; you scattered your enemies with your arm of strength; 11 the heavens are yours - the earth is yours - the world and the fulness you founded; 12 the north and the right you created. Tabor and Hermon shout in your name. 13 You have an arm of might; strengthened is your hand; lofted is your right; 14 justness and judgment are the establishment of your throne: mercy and truth anticipate your face. 15 Blithe - the people who know the shout; they walk, O Yah Veh, in the light of your face: 16 in your name they twirl all the day; and in your justness they are lofted. 17 For you are the beauty of their strength; and at your pleasure our horn is lofted. 18 For Yah Veh is our buckler and the Holy One of Yisra El our sovereign. 19 Then you worded in vision to your mercied one and said, I placed help on one who is mighty; I exalted one chosen from the people: 20 I found David my servant; with my holy ointment I anoint him; 21 with whom I establish my hand; my arm strengthens him: 22 neither the enemy exacts from him; nor the son of wickedness abase him: 23 I crush his tribulators at his face and smite them who hate him. 24 And my trustworthiness and my mercy are with him; and in my name his horn is lofted. 25 I set his hand on the sea and his right on the rivers. 26 He calls to me, You - my father, my El and the rock of my salvation. 27 I also give him to be my firstbirthed, Elyon of the sovereigns of the earth. 28 I guard my mercy for him eternally and my trustworthy covenant with him; 29 I set his seed eternal and his throne as the days of the heavens. 30 If his sons forsake my torah and walk not in my judgments; 31 if they profane my statutes and guard not my misvoth; 32 then I visit their rebellion with the scion and their perversity with plagues: 33 I neither void my mercy nor falsify my trustworthiness; 34 neither profane my covenant nor alter the proceedings of my lips. 35 Once I oath by my holiness; I lie not to David: 36 his seed is eternal and his throne as the sun in front of me; 37 - established eternally as the moon and as a trustworthy witness in the vapours. Selah. 38 And you - you cast off and spurn; you pass over your anointed. 39 you reject the covenant of your servant; you profane his separatism to the earth; 40 you breach all his walls; you set his fortresses to ruin. 41 All who pass by the way spoil him; - a reproach to his fellow tabernaclers. 42 You exalt the right of his tribulators; you have all his enemies cheer; 43 you turn the form of his sword and raise him to not war; 44 you shabbathized his purity and precipitate his throne to the earth: 45 you curtailed the days of his youth; you covered him with shame. Selah. 46 Until when, O Yah Veh, hide you yourself? In perpetuity? - Burn your fury as fire? 47 Remember how transcient! Created you all sons of humanity in vain? 48 What mighty lives and sees not death? - rescues his soul from the hand of sheol? Selah. 49 Where are your first mercies, O Adonay, which you oathed to David in your trustworthiness? 50 Remember, O Adonay, the reproach of your servants; how in my bosom I bear all the great people; 51 whom your enemies reproached, O Yah Veh - reproached the heelprints of your anointed. 52 Blessed - Yah Veh eternally. Amen and Amen. 90 1
BOOK IV A Prayer of Mosheh, the man of Elohim. Adonay, you have been our habitation generation to generation. 2 ere the mountains were birthed; or ever you writhed the earth and the world; even from eternity to eternity - you are El. 3 You return man to crush; and say, Return, you sons of humanity. 4 For a thousand years in your eyes are as yesterday when it is past - a watch in the night. 5 Floodborne, as asleep; in the morning, as grass that changes. 6 In the morning, flourishes and changes; in the evening, cut and withered: 7 for we are finished off by your wrath and terrified by your fury. 8 You set our perversities in front of you, our concealments in the light of your face. 9 For all our days turn face in your fury; we finish off our years as a meditation: 10 the days of our years, seventy years; and if by might, eighty years; yet their pride is toil and mischief - quickly passed over and we fly away. 11 Who knows the strength of your wrath? As your awe, thus your fury. 12 So have us know to number our days, so that we apply our hearts to wisdom. 13 Return, O Yah Veh! Until when? Sigh concerning your servants! 14 O satisfy us mornings with your mercy; so that we shout and cheer all our days: 15 cheer us according to the days you humbled us and the years we saw evil; 16 show your deeds to your servants and your majesty to their sons; 17 that the pleasantness of Yah Veh our Elohim be on us: establish the work of our hands on us; yes, the work of our hands, establish it. 91 1 He who settles in the covert of Elyon stays under the shadow of Shadday. 2 I say of Yah Veh, My refuge and my stronghold; my Elohim; in him I confide: 3 he rescues you from the snare of the snarer - from the calamitous pestilence: 4 he covers you with his pinions and under his wings you seek refuge: his truth are your shield and buckler. 5 Neither awe for the dread of night nor the arrow that flies by day; 6 neither for the pestilence that walks in darkness nor for the ruin that devastates at noonday. 7 A thousand fall at your side and myriads at your right; but they approach you not. 8 But look with your eyes and see the retribution of the wicked. 9 Because you, O Yah Veh, my refuge set Elyon your habitation. 10 Neither evil happens you, nor any plague approach your tent; 11 for he misvahs his angels over you, to guard you in all your ways: 12 hey lift you in their palms lest you stub your foot against a stone: 13 you tread on the roaring lion and asp; and trample the whelp and the monster under foot. 14 Because he attaches himself to me, I slip him away; loft him, because he knows my name. 15 He calls on me and I answer him; I am with him in tribulation; I rescue him and honor him: 16 with length of days I satisfy him and have him see my salvation. 92 1 A Psalm; A Song: For the shabbath day. It is good to spread hands to Yah Veh and to psalm to your name, O Elyon: 2 to tell your mercy in the morning and your trustworthiness in the nights: 3 on the decachord and on the bagpipe; on the harp with a meditation. 4 For you, O Yah Veh, cheer me through your deeds; I shout in the works of your hands. 5 O Yah Veh, how your works greaten! How mightily your fabrications deepen! 6 Neither the stupid man knows; nor the fool discerns this: 7 when the wicked blossom as the herbage and when all the doers of mischief flourish to be desolated eternally. 8 But you, O Yah Veh, are in the heights eternally. 9 For behold, your enemies, O Yah Veh, for behold, your enemies destruct; all the doers of mischief separate. 10 But you exalt my horn as a reem - anoint with green ointment. 11 My eye also sees my observers and my ears hear the vilifiers who rise against me. 12 The just blossom as the palm tree; he increases as a cedar in Lebanon: 13 they who are transplanted in the house of Yah Veh blossom in the courts of our Elohim: 14 they still germinate in greyness - fat and green; 15 to tell that Yah Veh is straight - my rock and there is no wickedness in him. 93 1 Yah Veh reigns - enrobed with pomp; Yah Veh enrobes with strength; he girts himself: the world is established that it totter not: 2 your throne is established since then; yours - from eternity. 3 The rivers lift, O Yah Veh; the rivers lift their voice; the rivers lift their waves: 4 Yah Veh in the heights is mightier than the voice of many waters - than the mighty waves of the sea. 5 Your witnesses are mighty trustworthy; holiness befits your house, O Yah Veh, to length of days. 94 1 O El of vengeance; O Yah Veh El of vengeance, shine! 2 Lift yourself, O judge of the earth; return a dealing to the pompous. 3 O Yah Veh, until when the wicked - until when jump the wicked for joy? 4 They gush; they word impudence and all the doers of mischief say. 5 They crush your people, O Yah Veh, and humble your inheritance; 6 they slaughter the widow and the sojourner and murder the orphan: 7 and they say, neither Yah Veh sees, nor Elohim of Yaaqov discerns. 8 Discern, you stupid among the people; and fools, when discern you? 9 He who plants the ear, hears he not? He who forms the eye, scans he not? 10 He who disciplines the goyim, reproves he not? - he who teaches humanity knowledge? 11 Yah Veh knows that the fabrications of humanity are vanity. 12 Blithe - the mighty whom you discipline, O Yah; - whom you teach from your torah; 13 so that you rest him from the days of evil, until they dig the pit of ruin for the wicked. 14 For Yah Veh neither abandons his people nor forsakes his inheritance; 15 for judgment returns to justness; and all the straight in heart after it. 16 Who rises for me against the vilifiers? Who sets for me against the workers of mischief? 17 Unless Yah Veh had been my help, my soul had almost tabernacled in silence. 18 When I say, My foot totters; your mercy, O Yah Veh, supports me. 19 In the abundance of my thoughts inside me your consolations delight my soul. 20 Is the throne of calamity joined with you - which forms toil by a statute? 21 They troop against the soul of the just and innocent blood, thet judge wicked: 22 and Yah Veh is my secure loft; and my Elohim is the rock of my refuge: 23 and he returns their own mischief on them and exterminates them in their own evil: Yah Veh our Elohim exterminates them. 95 1 O come; we shout to Yah Veh - shout to the rock of our salvation; 2 - anticipate his face with spread hands and shout to him with psalms. 3 For Yah Veh is a great El and a great Sovereign above all elohim. 4 In his hand are the innermost depths of the earth; the strengths of the mountains are his; 5 the sea is his - he worked it; and his hands formed the dry. 6 O come, we prostrate and kneel - kneel at the face of Yah Veh our Worker; 7 for he is our Elohim and we are the people of his pasture - the flock of his hand. Today if you hear his voice, 8 harden not your heart as in the strife and as in the day of testing in the wilderness: 9 when your fathers tested me - proofed me and saw my deeds. 10 Forty long years I loathed this generation and said, A people who stray in their heart; who know not my ways: 11 whom I oathed in my wrath that they not enter to my rest. 96 1 O sing to Yah Veh a new song; sing to Yah Veh, all the earth; 2 sing to Yah Veh, bless his name; evangelize his salvation from day today: 3 scribe his honor among the goyim - his marvels among all people: 4 for Yah Veh is great and mightily praised - awesome above all elohim. 5 For all the elohim of the people are idols; and Yah Veh worked the heavens: 6 Honor and majesty are at his face; strength and beauty are in his hallowed refuge. 7 Give to Yah Veh, O you families of the people; give to Yah Veh honor and strength; 8 give to Yah Veh the honor of his name; lift an offering and come into his courts. 9 O prostrate to Yah Veh in the majesty of his holies; writhe at his face, all the earth. 10 Say among the goyim, Yah Veh reigns! The world is established; it totters not: he pleads the cause of the people in straightnesses. 11 Cheer, O heavens; twirl, O earth; thunder, O sea and its fulness; 12 jump for joy, O field and all therein; shout, all trees of the forest 13 at the face of Yah Veh: for he comes - for he comes to judge the earth - to judge the world in justness and the people in his trustworthiness. 97 1 Yah Veh reigns; twirl, O earth; cheer, O great islands. 2 Clouds and dripping darkness surround him; justness and judgment establish his throne. 3 A fire comes from his face and inflames all around his tribulators: 4 his lightnings light the world; the earth sees and writhes: 5 the mountains melt as wax at the face of Yah Veh - at the face of Adonay of the whole earth: 6 the heavens tell his justness and all the people see his honor. 7 Shamed are all they who serve sculptiles - who halal themselves with idols: prostrate to him, all you elohim. 8 Siyon hears and cheers and the daughters of Yah Hudah twirl because of your judgments, O Yah Veh. 9 For you, O Yah Veh, are Elyon over all the earth: you ascend mightily over all elohim. 10 You who love Yah Veh, hate evil; he guards the souls of his mercied; he rescues them from the hand of the wicked. 11 Light is seeded for the just and cheerfulness for the straight in heart: 12 Cheer in Yah Veh, you just; and spread hands at the remembrance of his holiness. 98 1 A Psalm. O sing to Yah Veh a new song; for he works marvels: his right and his holy arm saves. 2 Yah Veh makes known his salvation - exposes his justness in the eyes of the goyim: 3 he remembers his mercy and his trustworthiness toward the house of Yisra El; all the finalities of the earth see the salvation of our Elohim. 4 Shout to Yah Veh, all the earth; break forth, and shout and psalm: 5 psalm to Yah Veh with the harp - with the harp and the voice of a psalm: 6 with trumpets and voice of shophar shout at the face of Yah Veh the Sovereign. 7 The sea thunders and its fulness; the world and they who settle therein: 8 the rivers clap their palms; the mountains shout together 9 at the face of Yah Veh: for he comes to judge the earth; with justness he judges the world and the people in straightnesses. 99 1 Yah Veh reigns; the people quiver: he settles on the cherubim; the earth quakes. 2 Yah Veh is great in Siyon - high above all the people. 3 They spread hands to your great and awesome name - it is holy. 4 And the strength of the sovereign loves judgment; you establish straightnesses, you work judgment and justness in Yaaqov. 5 Exalt Yah Veh our Elohim; prostrate at the stool of his feet; - he is holy. 6 Mosheh and Aharon among his priests and Shemu El among them who call on his name; they called on Yah Veh and he answered them: 7 he worded to them in the pillar of cloud; they guarded his witnesses and the statute he gave them. 8 You answered them, O Yah Veh our Elohim - you are an El who spared them, though you avenged their exploits. 9 Exalt Yah Veh our Elohim and prostrate at his holy mountain; for Yah Veh our Elohim is holy. 100 1 A Psalm of Spread Hands. Shout to Yah Veh, all the earth; 2 serve Yah Veh with cheerfulness; come at his face with shouting: 3 know that Yah Veh - he is Elohim; he worked us, and not we ourselves; - his people and the flock of his pasture. 4 Enter his portals with spread hands and into his courts with halal: spread hands to him; bless his name. 5 For Yah Veh is good; his mercy eternal: and his trustworthiness generation to generation. 101 1 \b A Psalm by David. \b I sing of mercy and judgment; to you, O Yah Veh, I psalm: 2 I discern in an integrious way. O when come you to me? I walk within my house in integrity of heart; 3 I set no word of Beli Yaal in front of my eyes; I hate the work of swervers; it adheres not to me. 4 The perverted heart turns aside from me; I know not evil: 5 whoever covertly tongue-lashes his friend, I exterminate: a lofty eye and an enlarged heart, I am not able. 6 My eyes are on the trustworthy of the land to settle with me; he who walks in an integrious way ministers to me; 7 he who works deceit settles not within my house; he who words falsehoods is not established in my eyes. 8 Mornings I exterminate all the wicked of the land; to cut off all mischievous from the city of Yah Veh. 102 1 A Prayer of the humble when he languishes and pours out his meditation at the face of Yah Veh. Hear my prayer, O Yah Veh so that my cry comes to you. 2 Hide not your face from me in the day of my tribulation; spread your ear to me; in the day I call, hasten - answer me. 3 For my days finish off as smoke and my bones scorch as a burning: 4 my heart is smitten and withers as herbage; so that I forget to eat my bread: 5 by reason of the voice of my sighing my bones adhere to my flesh: 6 I am likened to a pelican of the wilderness - as an owl of the parched areas. 7 I watch; and I am as a bird alone on the roof: 8 my enemies reproach me all the day and they who halal me oath against me. 9 For I eat ashes as bread and mix my drink with weeping 10 at the face of your indignation and your rage: for you lift me up and cast me down: 11 my days spread as a shadow; and I wither as herbage. 12 And you, O Yah Veh, settle eternal; and your memorial generation to generation: 13 You - you rise; you mercy Siyon; for the time to grant her charism - yes, the season has come. 14 For your servants are pleased in her stones and grant charism to the dust. 15 And the goyim awe the name of Yah Veh and all the sovereigns of the earth your honor. 16 Yah Veh built Siyon; he appears in his honor: 17 he faces the prayer of the naked and despises not their prayer: 18 inscribe this for the generation after; and the people to be created, to halal Yah. 19 For he sees from the height of his holies: from the heavens Yah Veh scans the earth 20 - to hear the shrieking of the bound; to loose the sons of death; 21 to scribe the name of Yah Veh in Siyon and his halal in Yeru Shalem; 22 in the gathering of the people and the sovereigndoms to serve Yah Veh. 23 He humbles my force in the way; he curtails my days. 24 I say, O my El, ascend me not midst my days; your years are generation to generation. 25 At your face you founded the earth; and the heavens are the work of your hands: 26 they - they destruct, and you stand; yes, they all wear out as clothes; as a robe you change them and changed they are; 27 and you are the same and your years consummate not. 28 The sons of your servants tabernacle and their seed establishes at your face. 103 1 By David. Bless Yah Veh, O my soul, and all that is within me - his holy name: 2 bless Yah Veh, O my soul and forget not all his dealings 3 - who forgives all your perversities; who heals all your sicknesses; 4 who redeems your life from the pit of ruin; who crowns you with mercy and tender mercies; 5 who satisfies your mouth with good; - renews your youth as the eagle. 6 Yah Veh works justness and judgment for all the oppressed; 7 he made his ways known to Mosheh; his exploits to the sons of Yisra El: 8 Yah Veh is merciful and charismatic; slow to wrath and abundant in mercy. 9 He neither contends in perpetuity nor guards eternally: 10 he neither works with us after our sins nor deals with us according to our perversities. 11 For as the heavens loft above the earth, thus his mercy prevails mightily toward them who awe him: 12 as far as the rising from the dusk, thus far he removes our rebellions from us: 13 as a father mercies his sons thus Yah Veh mercies them who awe him. 14 For he knows our form; he remembers that we are dust. 15 Man - his days are as grass - as a blossom of the field, thus he blossoms. 16 For the wind overpasses and is not; and recognizes the place no more: 17 and the mercy of Yah Veh from eternity to eternity on them who awe him: and his justness to sons of sons 18 - to them who guard his covenant and to them who remember his precepts to work them. 19 Yah Veh prepared his throne in the heavens; and his sovereigndom reigns over all. 20 Bless Yah Veh, you his angels, mighty in force, who work his words, to hearken to the voice of his word: 21 bless Yah Veh, all you his hosts; you ministers of his, who work his pleasure: 22 bless Yah Veh, all his works in all places of his reign; bless Yah Veh, O my soul. 104 1 Bless Yah Veh, O my soul! O Yah Veh, my Elohim, you are mightily greatened; - enrobed with honor and majesty: 2 who covers himself with light as a cloth; who spreads the heavens as a curtain; 3 who fells the beams of his upper room in the waters; who sets thick clouds his chariot; who walks on the wings of the wind; 4 who works his angels spirits - his ministers a flaming fire \super *; 5 who founded the establishments of the earth that they not totter eternally and eternally. *see Hebrews 1:7-14 6 You covered the abyss as a robe; the waters stand above the mountains; 7 from your rebuke they flee; from the voice of your thunder they hasten away: 8 they ascend by the mountains; they descend by the valleys to the place you founded for them. 9 You set a border that they neither pass over nor turn again to cover the earth: 10 - who sends the springs into the wadies passing among the mountains: 11 they moisten every live being of the field; the wild runners break their thirst: 12 by them the flyers of the heavens tabernacle, who give voice between the branches: 13 he moistens the mountains from his upper room; the earth satiates with the fruit of your works 14 so that the grass sprouts for the animals and herbs for the service of humanity; to bring forth bread from the earth: 15 and wine to cheer the heart of man and ointment to shine his face and bread to support the heart of man. 16 The trees of Yah Veh satiate - the cedars of Lebanon he planted 17 - where the birds nest: as for the stork, the firs are her house; 18 the high mountains, a refuge for the wild goats and the rocks for the conies. 19 He worked the moon for seasons; the sun knows his entry. 20 You set darkness and it is night; wherein all the live beings of the forest creep: 21 the whelps roar after their prey and seek their food from El: 22 the sun rises; they gather themselves; they crouch in their habitations: 23 humanity goes on to his deeds and to his service until the evening. 24 O Yah Veh, how your works abound by the myriads! In wisdom you worked them all; the earth is full of your chattel: 25 thus this great and wide hand of the sea wherein are creepers innumerable - both small and great live beings: 26 there go the ships; leviathan, whom you have formed to laugh. 27 These all expect you to give them their food on time: 28 You give them, they gleen: you open your hand, they satiate with good: 29 you hide your face, they terrify: you gather their spirit, they expire - return to their dust: 30 you send your spirit, they are created: and you renew the face of the soil. 31 The honor of Yah Veh is eternal. Yah Veh cheers in his works. 32 He looks on the earth and it trembles; he touches the mountains and they smoke. 33 I sing to Yah Veh during my life; I psalm to my Elohim while I still am: 34 pleasing is my meditation of him; I cheer in Yah Veh. 35 The sinners are consumed from the earth and the wicked are no more. Bless you Yah Veh, O my soul. Halalu Yah. 105 1 O spread hands to Yah Veh; call on his name; make known his exploits among the people: 2 sing to him; psalm to him; meditate of all his marvels: 3 halal in his holy name; the heart of them who seek Yah Veh cheers. 4 Seek Yah Veh and his strength; seek his face continually: 5 remember the marvels he worked - his omens and the judgments of his mouth 6 O you seed of Abraham his servant, you sons of Yaaqov his chosen. 7 He - Yah Veh our Elohim; his judgments are in all the earth: 8 he remembers his covenant eternally - the word he misvahed to a thousand generations 9 - which he cut with Abraham and his oath to Yischaq: 10 and stood the same to Yaaqov for a statute and to Yisra El for an eternal covenant: 11 saying, I give you the land of Kenaan the cord of your inheritance 12 - when they were few in number - yes, very few and sojourned therein: 13 and they went from one goyim to another from sovereigndom to another people: 14 he allowed no human to wrong them; yes, he reproved sovereigns for their sakes; 15 saying, Neither touch not my anointed nor vilify my prophets! 16 He called for a famine on the land; he broke the whole rod of bread; 17 he sent a man at their face - Yoseph, who was sold for a servant 18 whose feet they humbled with fetters - laid his soul in iron. 19 Until the time his word arrived the saying of Yah Veh refined him; 20 the sovereign sent and loosed him - the sovereign of the people, and loosed him; 21 he set him adoni of his house and sovereign of all his chattel; 22 to bind his governors at his soul; and enwisen his elders. 23 Yisra El also came to Misrayim; and Yaaqov sojourned in the land of Ham; 24 and his people became mighty fruitbearing - mightier than their tribulators: 25 he turned their heart to hate his people - to deceive his servants; 26 he sent Mosheh his servant and Aharon whom he chose: 27 they set words of his signs among them and omens in the land of Ham: 28 he sent darkness and it darkened; they rebelled not against his word; 29 he turned their waters into blood and deathified their fish; 30 their land teemed with frogs in the chambers of their sovereigns. 31 He said, and swarms and stingers arrived in all their borders: 32 he gave them hail for downpour and flaming fire in their land: 33 he smote their vines and their fig trees and broke the trees of their borders. 34 He said, and the locusts and cankerworms arrived - inummerable; 35 and ate all the herbs in their land and devoured the fruit of their soil: 36 he smote all the firstbirthed in their land - the firstfruits of all their strength: 37 he brought them forth with silver and gold; and not one among their scions faltered. 38 Misrayim cheered when they departed for the dread of them fell upon them: 39 he spread a cloud for a covering and fire to light in the night: 40 they asked, and he brought quails and satiated them with the bread of the heavens: 41 he opened the rock and the waters flowed: they walked in the parch as a river: 42 - for he remembered his holy word and Abraham his servant; 43 and he brought forth his people rejoicing and his chosen shouting; 44 and gave them the lands of the goyim; and they possessed the toil of the nations 45 - to guard his statutes and guard his torah. Halalu Yah. 106 1 Halalu Yah. O spread hands to Yah Veh; for good; for his mercy eternal. 2 Who utters the might of Yah Veh? Who hears all his halal? 3 Blithe - they who guard judgment who work justness at all times. 4 Remember me, O Yah Veh, with the pleasure of your people; O visit me with your salvation: 5 to see the good of your chosen, to cheer in the cheerfulness of your goyim, to halal with your inheritance. 6 We sinned with our fathers; we perverted; we did wickedly. 7 Our fathers neither comprehended your marvels in Misrayim; nor remembered the abundance of your mercies; but rebelled at the sea - the Reed sea: 8 he saved them for sake of his name to make his might known: 9 he rebuked the Reed sea and it parched; thus he walked them through the abysses as through the wilderness: 10 and he saved them from the hand of him who hated them and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy: 11 and the waters covered their tribulators; not one of them remained. 12 Then they trusted his words; they sang his halal: 13 they hastened to forget his works; they awaited not his counsel: 14 and in desiring, they desired in the wilderness and tested El in the desolation: 15 He gave them their petition and sent emaciation to their soul: 16 they envied Mosheh in the camp and Aharon the holy of Yah Veh: 17 the earth opened and swallowed Dathan and covered the witness of Abi Ram: 18 a fire burnt in their witness - the flame burnt the wicked: 19 they worked a calf in Horeb and prostrated to the molten: 20 they changed their honor into the pattern of an ox that eats herbage: 21 they forgot El their saviour who worked great in Misrayim 22 - marvels in the land of Ham; awesomenesses by the Reed sea. 23 He said to desolate them, except Mosheh his chosen stood at his face in the breach, to turn away his fury, lest he ruin. 24 Yes, they spurned the land of desire; they trusted not his word; 25 they rebelled in their tents and hearkened not to the voice of Yah Veh. 26 He lifted his hand against them to fell them in the wilderness; 27 to also fell their seed among the goyim and to winnow them in the lands. 28 They joined Baal Peor and ate the sacrifices of the dead: 29 thus they vex him with their exploits; and the plague breaks on them: 30 and Pinechas stands and prays; and the plague restrains: 31 and it was fabricated to him for justness generation to generation eternally. 32 They enraged him at the waters of Meribah/strife, so that it went evilly with Mosheh for their sakes: 33 for they rebelled against his spirit so that he babbled with his lips: 34 they desolated not the people, concerning whom Yah Veh had said to them; 35 but mingled among the goyim and learned their works; 36 and served their idols - a snare to them: 37 yes, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons, 38 and poured innocent blood - the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Kenaan: and profaned the land with blood. 39 Thus they fouled with their own works and whored in their exploits. 40 Yah Veh kindled his wrath against his people so that he abhored his own inheritance; 41 and he gave them into the hand of the goyim: and they who hated them reigned over them: 42 their enemies oppressed them and subdued them under their hand. 43 Many times he rescued them; but they rebelled with their counsel and they are subdued in their perversity. 44 He saw their tribulation when he heard their shouting; 45 and he remembers his covenant and sighs according to the abundance of his mercies: 46 he gave them to be mercied at the face of all who captured them. 47 Save us, O Yah Veh our Elohim and gather us from among the goyim, to spread hands to your holy name and to laud in your halal. 48 Blessed - Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El from eternity to eternity! And all the people say, Amen. Halalu Yah. 107 1
BOOK V
O spread hands to Yah Veh, for good; for his mercy eternal. 2 Say it, you redeemed of Yah Veh - whom he redeemed from the hand of the tribulator; 3 and gathered from the lands - from the rising and from duskward, from the north and from seaward. 4 They strayed in the wilderness in a way of desolation; they found no city of settlement; 5 famished; yes, thirsty; their soul languished therein. 6 They cried to Yah Veh in their tribulation and he rescued them from their distresses; 7 he aimed them by the straight way to go to a city of settlement. 8 Spread hands to Yah Veh for his mercy and for his marvels to the sons of humanity! 9 For he satisfies the yearning soul and the famished soul he fills with goodness 10 - such as settle in darkness and in the shadow of death - bound in humiliation and iron: 11 because they rebel against the sayings of El and scorn the counsel of Elyon: 12 he subdues their heart with toil; they stumble and there is no helper. 13 And they cry to Yah Veh in their tribulation and he saves them from their distresses: 14 he brings them from darkness and the shadow of death; and tears their bands. 15 Spread hands to Yah Veh for his mercy and for his marvels to the sons of humanity! 16 For he broke the doors of copper and cut the bars of iron. 17 Fools by way of their rebellion and by way of their perversities are humbled: 18 their soul abhors all their food; and they touch to the portals of death. 19 And they cry to Yah Veh in their tribulation; he saves them from their distresses: 20 he sends his word and heals them and rescues them from their pitfalls. 21 Spread hands to Yah Veh for his mercy and for his marvels to the sons of humanity! 22 Sacrifice the sacrifices of spread hands and scribe his works with shouting. 23 They who descend to the sea in ships - who work in great waters; 24 these see the works of Yah Veh and his marvels in the deep. 25 He says, and the stormy wind which lifts the waves stay: 26 they ascend to the heavens; they descend to the abysses; their soul melts because of evil. 27 They celebrate and stagger as intoxicated - swallow all their wisdom: 28 and they cry to Yah Veh in their tribulation and he brings them from their distresses: 29 he raises the storm to hush and the waves hush: 30 and they cheer because they hush; and he leads them to their haven of desire. 31 Spread hands to Yah Veh for his mercy and for his marvels to the sons of humanity! 32 Exalt him in the congregation of the people and halal him in the settlement of the elders. 33 He sets rivers to a wilderness and the springs of waters to thirst; 34 a fruitful land to salt for the evil of them who settle therein. 35 He sets the wilderness to a marsh of water and parched earth to springs of waters: 36 and there he settles the famished to prepare a city for settlement 37 - to seed the fields and plant vineyards; to work fruits of produce: 38 he blesses them to abound mightily; and diminishes not their animals. 39 They diminish and prostrate through restraint, evil, and grief: 40 he pours disrespect on volunteers to stray in the way where there is no way: 41 and he lofts the needy from humiliation and sets families as a flock. 42 The straight see and cheer; and all wickedness shuts her mouth. 43 Who is wise and guards these, discerns the mercy of Yah Veh. 108 1 A Song: A Psalm by David. O Elohim, my heart is prepared; I sing and psalm, even with my honor: 2 waken, bagpipe and harp; I waken early. 3 I spread hands to you, O Yah Veh, among the people; and I psalm to you among the people: 4 for your mercy - great above the heavens; and your truth to the vapours. 5 Be lofted, O Elohim, above the heavens; and your honor above all the earth: 6 that your beloved may be rescued; save with your right and answer me. 7 Elohim words in his holiness; I jump for joy: I allot Shechem; I mete out the valley of Sukkoth/Brush Arbors: 8 Galad is mine; Menash Sheh is mine; Ephrayim is the stronghold of my head; Yah Hudah is my statute setter; 9 Moab is my bath caldron; over Edom I cast out my shoe; over Pelesheth I triumph. 10 Who brings me to the fortressed city? Who leads me into Edom? 11 Have you not, O Elohim cast us off? Have you not, O Elohim, gone with our hosts? 12 Give us help from tribulation; for vain is the salvation of humanity: 13 through Elohim we work valiantly for he treads down our tribulators. 109 1 To His Eminence: A Psalm by David. Hush not, O Elohim of my halal; 2 for the mouth of wickedness and the mouth of deceit open against me: they word against me with a false tongue; 3 they surround me with words of hatred; and fight against me gratuitously: 4 instead of my love, they are my satans; but I - prayer: 5 and against me, they set evil for good and hatred for my love. 6 Set the wicked over him; and stand Satan at his right: 7 in judging, judge him with the wicked; and that his prayer become sin 8 and his days become few and another take his oversight: 9 and his sons become orphans and his woman a widow: 10 in wandering, that his sons wander; yes, ask; and seek from their parched areas. 11 The exactor snares all he has and the strangers plunder his labor; 12 neither is there any to draw out mercy to him nor any to grant charism to his orphans: 13 his posterity becomes cut off; and in another generation their name is wiped out: 14 the perversity of his fathers is remembered to Yah Veh; and the sin of his mother is not wiped out; 15 they become in front of Yah Veh continually to cut off their memorial from the earth: 16 because he remembered not to work mercy and pursued the humble and needy man to deathify the dejected in heart. 17 As he loves to abase, thus it approaches him; as he delights not in blessing, so be it far from him: 18 he enrobes abasing as tailoring, thus it enters his inwards as water - as ointment into his bones: 19 so be it as the clothes that cover him and for a girdle to continually gird: 20 this is for the deeds of my satans from Yah Veh and for them who word evil against my soul. 21 But work for me, O Yah Veh Adonay, for sake of your name; because your mercy is good, rescue me. 22 For I am humble and needy and my heart pierces within me 23 - gone - spread as the shadow - shaken as the locust: 24 my knees falter through fasting; my flesh emaciates of ointment; 25 I - I am a reproach to them; they see me; they shake their heads. 26 Help me, O Yah Veh my Elohim; O save me according to your mercy; 27 so that they know this is your hand; that you, O Yah Veh, worked it. 28 They abase and you bless; they rise and shame: and your servant cheers. 29 My satans enrobe with shame - cover themselves with their own shame as with a mantle. 30 I mightily halal Yah Veh with my mouth; yes, I spread hands to him among the great: 31 for he stands at the right of the needy to save him from those who judge his soul. 110 1 A Psalm: By David. An oracle of Yah Veh to my Adonay; Settle at my right until I set your enemies the stool of your feet. 2 Yah Veh sends the rod of your strength from Siyon. Subjugate midst your enemies. 3 Your people volunteer in the day of your valour - in the majesties of holiness from the womb of the dawn; you have the dew of your childhood. 4 Yah Veh oaths and sighs not! You are a priest eternally after the word of Malki Sedeq. 5 Adonay at your right struck sovereigns in the day of his wrath: 6 he pleads among the goyim; he fills with bodies; he strikes him - the head over the great land: 7 he drinks of the wadi in the way; so he lifts the head. 111 1 Halalu Yah! I spread hands to Yah Veh with my whole heart in the private counsel of the straight and in the witness. 2 The works of Yah Veh are great - sought by all who delight therein: 3 his deed is honorable and majestic and his justness stands eternal: 4 he worked his marvels - a memorial; Yah Veh is charismatic and merciful. 5 he gives the prey to them who awe him; he eternally remembers his covenant: 6 he told his people the force of his works to give them the inheritance of the goyim. 7 The works of his hands are truth and judgment; all his commandments are trustworthy: 8 they sustain eternally and eternally - worked in truth and straightness: 9 he sends redemption to his people; he misvahs his covenant eternally: holy and awesome is his name. 10 The awe of Yah Veh is the beginning of wisdom; all who work them have good comprehension; his halal stands eternal. 112 1 Halalu Yah! Blithe - the man who awes Yah Veh - who delights mightily in his misvoth. 2 His seed is mighty on earth; the generation of the straight is blessed; 3 wealth and riches are in his house; and his justness stands eternal. 4 To the straight, light rises in the darkness; he is charismatic and merciful and just: 5 a good man grants charism and lends; he sustains his words with judgment: 6 surely he totters not eternally; the just are an eternal memorial: 7 he awes not evil reports; his heart is established, confiding in Yah Veh: 8 his heart sustains; he awes not - until he sees his tribulators: 9 he scatters; he gives to the needy; his justness stands eternal; his horn is lofted with honor. 10 The wicked sees and vexes - gnashes his teeth and melts away; the desire of the wicked destructs. 113 1 Halalu Yah! Halal, O you servants of Yah Veh; halal the name of Yah Veh: 2 blessed - the name of Yah Veh from this time forth and eternally 3 - from the rising of the sun to the entry: halal the name of Yah Veh; 4 loft Yah Veh above all goyim and his honor above the heavens. 5 Who is as Yah Veh our Elohim? Who lofts in his settlement? 6 Who abases to see on the heavens and on the earth? 7 He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the dunghill 8 to set them with volunteers - the volunteers of his people. 9 He settles the sterile in the house - a cheerful mother of sons. Halalu Yah! 114 1 Yisra El came from Misrayim; the house of Yaaqov from a people unintelligible; 2 Yah Hudah became his holies; Yisra El his reign. 3 The sea sees and flees; Yarden returns; 4 the mountains dance as rams; the hills as sons of flocks. 5 What, O sea, that you flee? O Yarden, that you return? 6 O mountains, that you dance as rams? O hills, as sons of flocks? 7 Writhe, O earth, at the face of Adonay - at the face of Elohah of Yaaqov; 8 who turned the rock into a marsh water; the flint into a fountain of waters. 115 1 Not to us, O Yah Veh, not to us, but unto your name give honor; for your mercy; for your truth. 2 Why say the goyim, Where I beseech, is their Elohim? 3 Our Elohim is in the heavens; he works whatever he desires. 4 Their idols are silver and gold the work of human hands: 5 mouths have they, but they word not; eyes have they, but they see not; 6 ears have they, but they hear not; nostrils have they, but they scent not; 7 hands have they, but they touch not; feet have they, but they walk not; they mutter not through their throat. 8 They who work them are like them; thus is every one who confides in them. 9 O Yisra El, confide in Yah Veh; he is their help and their buckler: 10 O house of Aharon, confide in Yah Veh; he is their help and their buckler: 11 you who awe Yah Veh, confide in Yah Veh; he is their help and their buckler. 12 Yah Veh has been mindful of us; he blesses: he blesses the house of Yisra El; he blesses the house of Aharon; 13 he blesses them who awe Yah Veh - small and great. 14 Yah Veh increases you - you and your sons 15 - you, blessed of Yah Veh who worked the heavens and earth. 16 The heavens - the heavens, are to Yah Veh; but he gives the earth to the sons of humanity. 17 Neither the dead halal Yah nor any who descend into silence; 18 and we - we bless Yah from this time and eternally. Halalu Yah! 116 1 I love, because Yah Veh hears my voice, my supplications; 2 because he spreads his ear to me; all my days I call: 3 the cords of death surround me and the straits of sheol find me: I find tribulation and grief: 4 I call on the name of Yah Veh; O Yah Veh, I beseech you, rescue my soul. 5 Yah Veh is charismatic and just; yes, our Elohim mercies: 6 Yah Veh guards the gullible; I languish; he saves me: 7 return to your rest, O my soul; for Yah Veh deals with you. 8 For you rescued my soul from death; my eyes from tears; my feet from falling: 9 I walk at the face of Yah Veh in the land of the living: 10 I trust; I word: I - I am mightily humbled. 11 I said in my haste, All humans are liars. 12 What return I to Yah Veh for all his benefits toward me? 13 I lift the cup of salvation and call on the name of Yah Veh; 14 I shalam my vows to Yah Veh in the presence of all his people. 15 Esteemed in the eyes of Yah Veh is the death of his mercied. 16 I beseech, O Yah Veh, I your servant - I your servant, the son of your maid; you loosed my bonds. 17 I sacrifice to you the sacrifice of spread hands and call on the name of Yah Veh: 18 I shalam my vows to Yah Veh in the presence of all his people 19 - in the courts of the house of Yah Veh; in your midst, O Yeru Shalem. Halalu Yah! 117 1 O halal Yah Veh, all you goyim; laud him, all you nations: 2 for his mercy prevails mightily toward us; and the truth of Yah Veh is eternal. Halalu Yah! 118 1 O spread hands to Yah Veh; for good; his mercy eternal. 2 I beseech, Yisra El say, his mercy eternal. 3 I beseech, house of Aharon say, his mercy eternal. 4 I beseech, you who awe Yah Veh say, his mercy eternal. 5 I calle on Yah in the straits; Yah answers me from an expanse: 6 Yah Veh is on my side; I awe not what humanity works to me: 7 Yah Veh takes my part among my helpers; I - I see them who hate me. 8 Better to seek refuge in Yah Veh than to confide in humanity; 9 better to seek refuge in Yah Veh than to confide in volunteers. 10 all goyim surround me; in the name of Yah Veh, I cut them off: 11 they surround me; yes, they surround me; in the name of Yah Veh, I cut them off: 12 they surround me as bees; they are extinguished as a fire of thorns; for in the name of Yah Veh I cut them off. 13 In overthrowing, you overthrew me that I fell; and Yah Veh helped me. 14 Yah is my strength and psalm - become my salvation 15 The voice of shouting and salvation is in the tents of the just; the right of Yah Veh works valiantly: 16 the right of Yah Veh exalts; the right of Yah Veh works valiantly. 17 I die not, but live; and scribe the works of Yah. 18 In disciplining, Yah disciplines me; but gives me not over to death. 19 Open to me the portals of justness; I go in and I spread hands to Yah; 20 this portal of Yah Veh, wherein the just enter: 21 I spread hands to you; for you answered me and become my salvation. 22 The stone the builders refused becomes the head of the corner. 23 This becomes from Yah Veh - marvellous in our eyes. 24 This is the day Yah Veh worked; we twirl and cheer therein. 25 Save now \super * I beseech, I beseech you, O Yah Veh; O Yah Veh, I beseech you, prosper, I beseech. *Hoshia Nah 26 Blessed - he who comes in the name of Yah Veh; we bless you from the house of Yah Veh. 27 El is Yah Veh; he enlightens us: bind the celebration with ropes to the horns of the sacrifice altar. 28 You are my El, and I spread hands to you; you are my Elohim, I exalt you. 29 O spread hands to Yah Veh; for good; for his mercy eternal. 119 1 ALEPH. 1 Blithed - the integrious in the way, who walk in the torah of Yah Veh: 2 blithed - they who guard his witnesses - who seek him with the whole heart: 3 they do no wickedness; they walk in his ways. 4 You misvahed us to guard your precepts mightily. 5 O that I prepared my ways to guard your statutes! 6 Then I shame not when I look to all your misvoth: 7 I spread hands to you with straightness of heart when I learn your judgments of justness: 8 I guard your statutes: O forsake me not mightily. 9 BETH. How purifies a young man his way? By guarding according to your word. 10 With my whole heart I sought you; that I not err inadvertantly from your misvoth: 11 I treasure your sayings in my heart that I not sin against you. 12 Blessed you, O Yah Veh; teach me your statutes. 13 With my lips I scribe all the judgments of your mouth; 14 I rejoice in the way of your witnesses as over all wealth; 15 I meditate in your precepts and scan to your ways; 16 I delight myself in your statutes - I forget not your word. 17 GIMEL. Deal with your servant - I live and guard your word; 18 expose my eyes to behold the marvels of your torah: 19 I am a sojourner in the earth; hide not your misvoth from me: 20 my soul crushes for the desire unto your judgments at all times. 21 You rebuke the cursed arrogant who err inadvertently from your misvoth; 22 roll reproach and disrespect away from me for I guard your witnesses: 23 governors settle and word against me but your servant meditates in your statutes; 24 your witnesses are my delight and my councilmen. 25 DALETH. My soul adheres to the dust; enliven me according to your word. 26 I scribe my ways and you answer me; teach me your statutes: 27 have me discern the way of your precepts; I meditate of your marvels: 28 my soul drips of grief; raise me according to your word: 29 turn aside the way of falsehoods from me; and with your torah grant me charism: 30 I choose the way of trustworthiness; I placed your judgments: 31 I adhere to your witnesses; O Yah Veh, shame me not: 32 I run the way of your misvoth; you enlarge my heart. 33 HE. Teach me, O Yah Veh, the way of your statutes; and I guard it to the end: 34 have me discern, and I guard your torah; yes, I guard it with my whole heart: 35 aim me in the path of your misvoth; for therein I delight: 36 spread my heart to your witnesses and not to greed: 37 pass my eyes from seeing vanity; and enliven me in your way: 38 raise up your sayings to your servant who awes you: 39 pass away my reproach which I fear; for your judgments are good. 40 Behold, I desire after your precepts; enliven me in your justness. 41 VAU. Your mercies come to me, O Yah Veh, your salvation, according to your sayings: 42 and I word to answer him who reproaches me; for I confide in your word: 43 and strip not the word of truth mightily from my mouth; for I await your judgments: 44 I guard your torah continually - eternally and eternally: 45 And I walk at large for I seek your precepts: 46 I word of your witnesses in front of sovereigns and shame not: 47 I delight myself in your misvoth which I love; 48 I lift my palms to your misvoth which I love; and I meditate in your statutes. 49 ZAIN. Remember the word to your servant, on which you have me await: 50 this is my sighing in my humiliation; for your sayings enliven me. 51 The arrogant scorn me mightily; yet I spread not from your torah: 52 I remember your judgments of eternity, O Yah Veh; and sigh over myself: 53 raging seizes me because of the wicked who forsake your torah. 54 Your statutes became my psalms in the house of my sojournings: 55 I remembered your name, O Yah Veh, in the night; and guarded your torah: 56 this became me because I guarded your precepts. 57 CHETH. Yah Veh is my allotment; I say to guard your words: 58 I stroke your face with my whole heart; grant me charism according to your sayings: 59 I fabricate my ways and turned my feet to your witnesses: 60 I hasten, and linger not to guard your misvoth. 61 The cords of the wicked surround me; I forget not your torah: 62 at midnight I rise to spread hands to you because of your judgments of justness: 63 I am a companion to all who awe you and to them who guard your precepts. 64 The earth, O Yah Veh, is full of your mercy; teach me your statutes. 65 TETH. You work good with your servant, O Yah Veh, according to your word: 66 teach me good taste and knowledge; for I trust your misvoth. 67 Ere I humbled, I erred inadvertently; and now I guard your sayings: 68 you are good and do good; teach me your statutes: 69 the arrogant patch falsehood against me; I guard your precepts with my whole heart: 70 their heart fattens; I - I delight in your torah: 71 it is good for me to be humbled - to learn your statutes: 72 the torah of your mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver. 73 JOD. Your hands worked me and established me: have me to discern; to learn your misvoth. 74 They who awe you cheer when they see me; because I await your word: 75 I know, O Yah Veh, your judgments are justness and in trustworthiness you humble me. 76 I pray you, that your mercy be for my sighing, according to your sayings to your servant. 77 Your tender mercies come to me; I live: your torah is my delight. 78 Shame the arrogant - for they twist me falselyShame I meditate in your precepts. 79 May they who awe you turn to me; with them who know your witnesses. 80 May my heart be integrious in your statutes; that I not shame. 81 CAPH. My soul finishes off for your salvation; for I await your word: 82 my eyes finish off for your sayings, saying, When sigh you over me? 83 For I become as a skin in smoke; yet I forget not your statutes. 84 How many are the days of your servant? When work you judgment on my pursuers? 85 The arrogant dig pits for me which are not according your torah. 86 All your misvoth are trustworthy; they pursue me falsely; help me! 87 They almost finish me off on earth; and I - I forsake not your precepts. 88 Enliven me after your mercy; and I guard the witness of your mouth. 89 LAMED. Eternally, O Yah Veh, your word is stationed in the heavens; 90 your trustworthiness generation to generation: you established the earth and it stands. 91 They stand this day according to your judgments; for all are your servants. 92 Unless your torah were my delights I had destructed in my humiliation: 93 I forget not your precepts eternally; for with them you enliven me. 94 I am yours; save me: for I seek your precepts: 95 the wicked await me to destroy me; I discern your witnesses: 96 I see the end of all conclusion; your misvah is mighty broad. 97 MEM. O how I love your torah - my meditation all the day: 98 your misvoth enwisen me above my enemies; for they are eternally with me: 99 I comprehend more than all my teachers; for your witnesses are my meditation: 100 I discern more than the elders; because I guard your precepts: 101 I restrain my feet from every evil way to guard your word: 102 I turn not aside from your judgments; for you taught me. 103 How smooth your sayings to my palate! - than honey to my mouth! 104 Through your precepts I discern; so I hate every false way. 105 NUN. Your word is a lamp to my feet - a light to my path: 106 I oath and I raise to guard your judgments of justness: 107 I am humbled mightily; enliven me, O Yah Veh, according to your word. 108 Be pleased, I beseech you, by the voluntaries of my mouth, O Yah Veh, and teach me your judgments. 109 My soul is continually in my palm; yet I forget not your torah: 110 the wicked give a snare for me; yet I stray not from your precepts: 111 I inherited your witnesses eternally - the rejoicing of my heart: 112 I spread my heart to work your statutes - eternally - to the end. 113 SAMECH. I hate skeptics; and your torah I love. 114 You are my covert and my buckler; I await your word. 115 Turn away from me, you vilifiers; for I guard the misvoth of my Elohim. 116 Uphold me according to your sayings, that I live; that I not shame because of my expectation: 117 uphold me and I am saved; and I look to your statutes continually. 118 You trample them all who err inadvertently from your statutes; for their deceit is falsehood: 119 you shabbathize all the wicked of the earth as dross: so I love your witnesses. 120 My flesh stands on end for dread of you; and I awe your judgments. 121 AIN. I worked judgment and justness; leave me not to my oppressors: 122 pledge for your servant for good; that the arrogant not oppress me: 123 my eyes finish off for your salvation and for the sayings of your justness. 124 Work with your servant according to your mercy; and teach me your statutes. 125 I am your servant; have me discern to know your witnesses. 126 It is time, O Yah Veh, to work; for they break your torah. 127 So I love your misvoth above gold - yes, above pure gold: 128 so I straighten all your precepts to be all right: I hate every false way. 129 PE. Your witnesses are marvels; so my soul guards them: 130 the entrance of your words enlighten; so that the gullible discern: 131 I gape my mouth and gulp; for I yearn for your misvoth. 132 Face me; and grant me charism and judgment to them who love your name: 133 establish my steps in your sayings; that no mischief dominate me: 134 deliver me from the oppression of humanity; I guard your precepts. 135 Light your face on your servant; and teach me your statutes. 136 Rivulets of waters descend my eyes, because they guard not your torah. 137 TZADDI. You are just, O Yah Veh, and straight are your judgments: 138 your witnesses you misvahed are justness - mighty trustworthy: 139 my zeal exterminates me because my tribulators forget your words: 140 your saying is mighty refined; your servant loves it. 141 I - insignificant and despised; yet I forget not your precepts: 142 your justness - an eternal justness and your torah - truth. 143 Tribulation and distress find me; yet your misvoth are my delights. 144 The justness of your witnesses is eternal; have me discern, and I live. 145 KOPH. I call with my whole heart; answer, O Yah Veh: I guard your statutes. 146 I call to you; save me, and I guard your witnesses. 147 I anticipate the evening breeze and cry; I await your word: 148 my eyes anticipate the watches to meditate in your sayings: 149 hear my voice, according to your mercy, O Yah Veh, enliven me according to your judgment. 150 They who pursue intrigue draw nigh - far from your torah: 151 you are near, O Yah Veh, and all your misvoth are truth. 152 I have known your witnesses from antiquity - that you founded them eternally. 153 RESH. See my humiliation and rescue me; for I forget not your torah: 154 defend my defence and deliver me; enliven me according to your sayings 155 Salvation is far from the wicked for they seek not your statutes: 156 Great are your tender mercies, O Yah Veh; enliven me according to your judgments: 157 many are my pursuers and my tribulators; yet I spread not from your witnesses: 158 I see them who deal covertly, and I loathe; because they guard not your sayings. 159 See how I love your precepts; enliven me, O Yah Veh, according to your mercy. 160 The sum of your word is truth; and every one of your judgments of justness is eternal. 161 SCHIN. Governors pursue me gratuitously; because of your words, my heart dreads. 162 I rejoice at your sayings, as one who finds great spoil: 163 I hate and abhor falsehood but love your torah: 164 seven times a day I halal you because of your judgments of justness. 165 Great shalom have they who love your torah; they have no stumblingblock. 166 O Yah Veh, I await your salvation and work your misvoth: 167 my soul guards your witnesses; and I love them mightily: 168 I guard your precepts and your witnesses; all my ways are in front of you. 169 TAU. My shouting comes near at your face, O Yah Veh; have me discern according to your word: 170 my supplication comes at your face; rescue me according to your sayings: 171 my lips gush halal for you teach me your statutes; 172 my tongue answers of your sayings; for all your misvoth are justness: 173 your hand helps me; for I chose your precepts. 174 I desire your salvation, O Yah Veh, and your torah is my delight: 175 my soul lives and halals you; your judgments help me: 176 I strayed as a lost lamb; seek your servant; for I forget not your misvoth. 120 1 A Song of Degrees. In my tribulation I call to Yah Veh and he answers. 2 Rescue my soul, O Yah Veh, from false lips - from a deceitful tongue. 3 What gives he to you? What adds he to you, you deceitful tongue? 4 Pointened arrows of the mighty with coals of juniper. 5 Woe is me; I sojourn in Meshech; I dwell in the tents of Qedar! 6 How greatly my soul tabernacles with him who hates shalom. 7 I am for shalom; and when I word, they are for war. 121 1 A Song of Degrees. I lift my eyes to the mountains. Whence comes my help? 2 My help is from Yah Veh who worked the heavens and earth. 3 He gives not your foot to topple; your guards slumbers not: 4 behold, he who guards Yisra El neither slumbers nor sleeps: 5 Yah Veh - your guard; Yah Veh - your shade at your right; 6 neither the sun smites you by day nor the moon by night. 7 Yah Veh guards you from all evil - guards your soul: 8 Yah Veh guards your going and your coming from this time and even eternally. 122 1 A Song of Degrees: By David. I cheer when they say to me, To the house of Yah Veh we go. 2 Our feet stand within your portals, O Yeru Shalem. 3 Yeru Shalem is built; as a city joined together: 4 and there the scions ascend - the scions of Yah to the witness of Yisra El; to spread hands to the name of Yah Veh: 5 for there the thrones of judgment settle - the thrones of the house of David. 6 Ask for the shalom of Yeru Shalem; they who love you are content: 7 shalom be within your trenches and serenity within your citadels: 8 for sake of my brothers and friends I beseech a word, Shalom - within you. 9 Because of the house of Yah Veh our Elohim I seek your good. 123 1 A Song of Degrees. To you I lift my eyes, O settler in the heavens! 2 Behold, as the eyes of servants to the hand of their adonim; as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her lady; thus our eyes to Yah Veh our Elohim, until he grants us charism. 3 Grant us charism, O Yah Veh, grant us charism; for we abundantly satiate with disrespectsake 4 our soul abundantly satiates with the derision of them who relax - with the disrespect of the pompous. 124 1 A Song of Degrees by David. Unless Yah Veh had been for us I beseech, O Yisra El, say, 2 Unless Yah Veh had been for us, when humanity rose against us; 3 then they had swallowed us alive when they kindled their wrath against us: 4 the waters had overflowed us; the wadi had passed over our soul; 5 the overflowing waters had passed over our soul. 6 Blessed - Yah Veh, who gave us not as a prey to their teeth: 7 our soul escaped as a bird from the snare of the ensnarers; the snare broke and we escaped. 8 Our help is in the name of Yah Veh, who worked the heavens and earth. 125 1 A Song of Degrees. They who confide in Yah Veh are as mount Siyon; it totters not; it settles eternally. 2 As the mountains surround Yeru Shalem, thus Yah Veh surrounds his people - from this time - even eternally. 3 For the scion of wickedness rests not on the pebble of the just; lest the just spread their hands to wickedness. 4 Do good, O Yah Veh, to the good and to the straight in heart: 5 as for such as pervert to their crookednesses, Yah Veh walks them with the doers of mischief. Shalom on Yisra El. 126 1 A Song of Degrees. When Yah Veh returned the returning of Siyon, we were as dreamers: 2 our mouth filled with laughter and our tongue with shouting. Then they among the goyim say, Yah Veh worked greatly for them; 3 Yah Veh worked greatly for us - whereof we cheer. 4 Return our captivity, O Yah Veh, as the reservoirs in the south. 5 They who seed in tears shout in harvesting: 6 in going, he who comes weeping, bearing his seed, and seeding, doubtless comes again with shouting, bearing his sheaves. 127 1 A Song of Degrees: By Shelomoh. Except Yah Veh build the house the builders toil in vain; except Yah Veh guard the city the guards guard in vain: 2 how vain for you to start early, to settle down late, to eat the bread of contorting; thus he gives his beloved sleep. 3 Behold, sons are an inheritance of Yah Veh; the fruit of the belly is his hire: 4 as arrows in the hand of a mighty man thus are sons of the youth. 5 Blithe - the mighty who fills his quiver with them; they shame not, for they word with the enemies in the portal. 128 1 A Song of Degrees. Blithed - every one who awes Yah Veh; who walks in his ways: 2 for you eat the labor of your palms; blithed - and good with you 3 - your woman as a fruitbearing vine by the flanks of your house: your sons as olive transplants surrounding your table. 4 Behold, thus are the mighty; blessed - who awe Yah Veh. 5 Yah Veh blesses you from Siyon; and you see the good of Yeru Shalem all the days of your life. 6 Yes, you see the sons of your sons. Shalom on Yisra El! 129 1 A Song of Degrees. Greatly they tribulated me from my youth; O Yisra El, I beseech, say; 2 Greatly they tribulated me from my youth; yet they prevailed not against me: 3 the plowers plow on my back; they lengthen their furrows. 4 Yah Veh is just: he chops the ropes of the wicked. 5 Shame and apostatize, you who hate Siyon; 6 as the grass on the roofs, withering ere they are drawn: 7 which fill neither the palm of the mower nor the bosom of the binder: 8 neither say they who pass by, The blessing of Yah Veh is upon you; we bless you in the name of Yah Veh. 130 1 A Song of Degrees. From the depths I call you, O Yah Veh: 2 Adonay, hear my voice; hearken your ears to the voice of my supplications. 3 If, O Yah, you regard perversities, O Adonay, who stands? 4 But with you is forgiveness, that you be awed. 5 I await Yah Veh; my soul awaits: in his word I await. 6 My soul is for Adonay more than they who guard for morning - who guard for morning. 7 Yisra El, await Yah Veh; for with Yah Veh there is mercy and with him redemption abounds; 8 and he redeems Yisra El from all his perversities. 131 1 A Song of Degrees: By David. O Yah Veh, neither my heart lifts, nor my eyes loft; nor walk I in greatness or in marvels: 2 surely I place myself and hush my soul, as a child weaned from his mother; - my soul as weaned. 3 Yisra El, await Yah Veh from this time and eternally. 132 1 A Song of Degrees. O Yah Veh, remember David and all his humblings; 2 who oathed to Yah Veh and vowed to the Almighty of Yaaqov. 3 I neither come into the tent of my house; nor ascend into the bedstead of my beds; 4 nor give sleep to my eyes or drowsiness to my eyelids 5 until I find a place for Yah Veh - tabernacles for the Almighty of Yaaqov. 6 Behold, we heard thereof at Ephrath; we found thereof in the fields of the forest: 7 we enter his tabernacles; we prostrate at the stool of his feet. 8 Rise, O Yah Veh, into your rest - you and the ark of your strength. 9 Your priests enrobe with justness; and your mercied shout. 10 For sake of your servant David turn not away the face of your anointed. 11 Yah Veh oathed truth to David; he turns not from it: I set the fruit of your belly on your throne. 12 If your sons guard my covenant and the witness I teach them, their sons also settle on your throne eternally. 13 For Yah Veh chose Siyon; he desires it for his settlement: 14 this is my rest eternally; here I settle; for I desire it. 15 In blessing, I bless her hunt; I satisfy her needy with bread; 16 and I enrobe her priests with salvation; and in shouting, her mercied shout: 17 there I sprout the horn of David; I arrange a lamp for my anointed; 18 I enrobe his enemies with shame; and on him, his separatism flourishes. 133 1 A Song of Degrees: By David. Behold, how good and how pleasant for brothers to settle together in unity 2 - as the good ointment on the head descending on the beard - the beard of Aharon; descending to the skirts of his tailoring; 3 as the dew of Hermon descending on the mountains of SiyonAharon's for there Yah Veh misvahed the blessing, life eternal. 134 1 A Song of Degrees. Behold, bless Yah Veh all you servants of Yah Veh - who stand by night in the house of Yah Veh: 2 lift your hands in the holies and bless Yah Veh: 3 Yah Veh who worked the heavens and earth blesses you from Siyon. 135 1 Halalu Yah! Halal the name of Yah Veh; halal, O you servants of Yah Veh; 2 you who stand in the house of Yah Veh - in the courts of the house of our Elohim. 3 Halalu Yah! Yah Veh is good. Psalm to his name; for it is pleasant: 4 for Yah chose Yaaqov for himself; Yisra El for his peculiar treasure. 5 For I know that Yah Veh is great and that our Adonay is above all elohim. 6 Yah Veh works whatever he desires in the heavens and in earth in the seas and all abysses: 7 he ascends the vapours from the ends of the earth; works lightnings for the rain; brings the wind from his treasuries: 8 who smote the firstbirthed of Misrayim - both of human to animal: 9 who sent signs and omens into your midst, O Misrayim - on Paroh and on all his servants: 10 who smote great goyim and slaughtered mighty sovereigns 11 - Sichon sovereign of the Emoriy and Og sovereign of Bashan and all the sovereigndoms of Kenaan; 12 and gave their land for an inheritance - an inheritance to Yisra El his people. 13 O Yah Veh, your name, eternal; O Yah Veh, your memorial, generation to generation: 14 for Yah Veh pleads the cause of his people and he sighs concerning his servants. 15 The idols of the goyim are silver and gold - the work of human hands: 16 mouths, and they word not; eyes, and they see not; 17 ears, and they hearken not; nose, and their is no spirit/wind in their mouth. 18 They who work them are likened to them; thus every one who confides in them. 19 O house of Yisra El, bless Yah Veh; O house of Aharon, bless Yah Veh; 20 O house of Levi, bless Yah Veh; you who awe Yah Veh, bless Yah Veh. 21 Blessed - Yah Veh from Siyon who tabernacles at Yeru Shalem. Halalu Yah! 136 1 O Spread hands to Yah Veh; for good; for his mercy eternal: 2 O spread hands to the Elohim of elohim; for his mercy eternal: 3 O spread hands to Adonay of adonim; for his mercy eternal: 4 to him who alone works great marvels; for his mercy eternal: 5 to him who by discernment worked the heavens; for his mercy eternal: 6 to him who expanded the earth above the waters; for his mercy eternal: 7 to him who worked great lights; for his mercy eternal: 8 the sun to reign by day; for his mercy eternal: 9 the moon and stars to reign by night; for his mercy eternal: 10 to him who smote Misrayim - their firstbirthed; for his mercy eternal: 11 and brought Yisra El from among them; for his mercy eternal: 12 with a strong hand and spread arm; for his mercy eternal: 13 to him who cut the Reed sea into pieces; for his mercy eternal: 14 and passed Yisra El through the midst; for his mercy eternal: 15 and shook Paroh and his valiant in the Reed sea; for his mercy eternal: 16 to him who walked his people in the wilderness; for his mercy eternal: 17 to him who smote great sovereigns; for his mercy eternal: 18 and slaughtered mighty sovereigns; for his mercy eternal: 19 Sichon sovereign of the Emoriy; for his mercy eternal: 20 and Og the sovereign of Bashan; for his mercy eternal: 21 and gave their land for an inheritance; for his mercy eternal: 22 even an inheritance to Yisra El his servant; for his mercy eternal: 23 who remembered us in our lowliness; for his mercy eternal: 24 and has separated us from our tribulators; for his mercy eternal: 25 who gives bread to all flesh; for his mercy eternal: 26 O spread hands to El of the heavens; for his mercy eternal. 137 1 By the rivers of Babel, there we settled; yes, we wept, when we remembered Siyon; 2 we hung our harps midst the willows: 3 for there our captors asked us the words of a song - our howlers, of cheer, Sing us a song of Siyon! 4 How sing we a song of Yah Veh in a strange soil? 5 If I forget you, O Yeru Shalem, my right forgets: 6 if I remember you not, my tongue adheres to my palate - if I ascend not Yeru Shalem, above the head of my cheer. 7 Remember, O Yah Veh, the sons of Edom in the day of Yeru Shalem who say, Strip naked - strip naked to the foundation! 8 O daughter of Babel, O ravaged; blithed - he who shalams your deed to you as you dealt us. 9 Blithed - he who takes and splatters your infants against the rocks. 138 1 By David. I spread hands to you with my whole heart; in front of Elohim/the elohim, I psalm to you: 2 I prostrate toward your holy manse and spread hands to your name - for your mercy and for your truth: for you greatened your saying above all your name. 3 In the day I called you answered me and encouraged me with strength in my soul. 4 All the sovereigns of the earth spread hands to you, O Yah Veh, when they hear the sayings of your mouth. 5 Yes, they sing in the ways of Yah Veh; for great is the honor of Yah Veh. 6 For Yah Veh is high, and he sees the lowly; and he knows the lofty afar off. 7 If I walk midst tribulation, you enliven me; you spread your hand against the wrath of my enemies and your right saves me. 8 Yah Veh consummates what concerns me. Your mercy, O Yah Veh, is eternal; slacken not the works of your own hands. 139 1 To His Eminence: A Psalm by David. O Yah Veh, you probed me and know; 2 you know my settling and my uprising; you discern my intention afar off; 3 you winnow my path and my reposing and are accustomed to all my ways; 4 for there is not an utterance in my tongue. Behold, O Yah Veh, you know altogether; 5 you besiege me behind and in front and placed your palm on me. 6 Such knowledge is too marvellous for me; too lofty; I am not able for it. 7 Where go I from your spirit? Where flee I from your face? 8 If I ascend into the heavens, you are there; if I bed down in sheol, behold - you; 9 if I lift the wings of the dawn and tabernacle in the finality of the sea; 10 even there your hand leads me and your right holds me: 11 if I say, Surely the darkness crushes me; even the night is light to me. 12 Yes, the darkness darkens not from you; and night lights as the day; as the darkness, thus the light. 13 For you - you chattelized my reins; you covered me in the belly of my mother: 14 I spread hands to you; for I am awesomely distinguished; marvellous are your works - and my soul knows that right well. 15 My might was not concealed from you, when I was covertly worked and embroidered in the nethermost of the earth: 16 your eyes saw my embryo; and in your scroll they were inscribed in the days they were formed - and no one among them. 17 How esteemed - your intentions to me, O El! How mighty their head! 18 If I scribe them, they abound more than the sand; when I waken, I am still with you. 19 Surely you sever the wicked, O Elohah; so turn aside from me, you men of blood: 20 for they say intrigue against you; lift your enemies in vanity. 21 Hate I not them, O Yah Veh, who hate you? and loathe I not them who resist you? 22 I hate them with conclusive hatred; I count them my enemies. 23 Probe me, O El, and know my heart; proof me and know my thoughts: 24 and see if there be a contorting way in me and lead me in the way eternal. 140 1 To His Eminence: A Psalm by David. Rescue me, O Yah Veh, from evil humanity; guard me from the man of violence 2 who machinates evils in the heart: all day they sojourn for war; 3 they pointen their tongues as a serpent; the poison of asps is under their lips. Selah. 4 Guard me, O Yah Veh, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the man of violence; who machinates to overthrow my steps. 5 The pompous hide a line for me - and cords; they spread a net by the hand of the route; they set snares for me. Selah. 6 I say to Yah Veh, You are my El; hearken, O Yah Veh, to the voice of my supplications: 7 O Yah Veh Adonay, the strength of my salvation, you covered my head in the day of armament: 8 give not, O Yah Veh, the wicked their desires; promote not his intrigue; lest they be lofted. Selah. 9 As for the heads of them who surround me, cover them with the toil of their own lips; 10 topple coals on them; fell them in the fire - in deep pits that they rise not. 11 Establish no man of tongue in the earth; evil hunts the man of violence - to overthrow him. 12 I know Yah Veh works the plea of the humble - the judgment of the needy. 13 Surely the just spread hands to your name; the straight settle at your face. 141 1 A Psalm by David. O Yah Veh, I call to you; hasten to me; hearken to my voice when I call to you: 2 I prepare my prayer at your face as incense; and the burden of my palms as the evening offering. 3 Set a guard, O Yah Veh, in front of my mouth; guard the door of my lips; 4 spread not my heart to any evil word - to exploit wicked exploits with men who work mischief - that I not eat of their delicacies. 5 The just hammer me in mercy, and reprove me; an ointment of the head - which my head disallows not; for my prayer is yet against their evil. 6 Their judges are released by the hands of the rocks; they hear my sayings; they are pleased. 7 Our bones are scattered at the mouth of sheol as one cleaving and splitting the earth. 8 But to you, O Yah Veh Adonay, are my eyes; in you I seek refuge; strip not my soul naked: 9 guard me from the hands of the snares they ensnare for me - and the snares of the doers of mischief. 10 Fell the wicked into their own nets, until I pass over. 142 1 On Comprehension: By David: A Prayer when he is in the cave. My voice to Yah Veh, I cry; my voice to Yah Veh, I seek charism: 2 I pour my meditation at his face; I tell my tribulation to his face: 3 when my spirit languishes within me, then you know my path: in the way I walk, they hide a snare for me. 4 I look to the right and see; no one recognizes me: retreat destructs from me; no one seeks of my soul. 5 I cry to you, O Yah Veh; I say, You are my refuge and my allotment in the land of the living; 6 hearken to my shouting for I am mightily languished: rescue me from my pursuers for they are stronger than I: 7 bring my soul from the lockup to spread hands to your name; the just surround me; when you deal with me. 143 1 A Psalm: By David. Hear my prayer, O Yah Veh; hearken to my supplications: in your trustworthiness answer me - in your justness. 2 And enter not into judgment with your servant; for at your face no one living is justified; 3 for an enemy pursues my soul; he crushes my life to the earth; he settles me in darkness as the eternal dead: 4 my spirit within me languishes; my heart within me desolates: 5 I remember the days of antiquity; I meditate on all your deeds; I meditate on the work of your hands: 6 I spread my hands to you; my soul is as a languid land for you. Selah. 7 Answer me hastily, O Yah Veh; my spirit finishes off: hide not your face from me; lest I be as they who descend in the well: 8 that I hear your mercy in the morning; for in you I confide: that I know the way wherein I walk; for I lift up my soul to you. 9 Rescue me, O Yah Veh, from my enemies - cover me with yourself; 10 teach me to work your pleasure for you are my Elohim; your spirit is good; lead me into the land of straightness. 11 Enliven me, O Yah Veh, for sake of your name; for sake of your justness bring my soul from tribulation: 12 and by your mercy cut off my enemies and exterminate all who tribulate my soul; for I am your servant. 144 1 By David. Blessed - Yah Veh my rock who teaches my hands to war and my fingers to war: 2 my mercy and my stronghold; my secure loft, who slips me away; my buckler, in whom I seek refuge; who subdues my people under me. 3 O Yah Veh, what is humanity, that you know him? - the son of man, that you fabricate him? 4 Humanity is likened to vanity; his days are as a passing shadow. 5 Spread your heavens, O Yah Veh, and descend; touch the mountains, and they smoke; 6 lightning the lightning and scatter them; send your arrows and agitate them; 7 send your hand from the heights; tear me loose and rescue me from great waters - from the hand of strange sons 8 whose mouth words vanity whose right is a right of falsehood. 9 O Elohim, I sing you a new song; on a bagpipe and a decachord, I psalm to you 10 - who gives salvation to sovereigns; who release David his servant from the evil sword. 11 Tear me loose and rescue me from the hand of strange sons - whose mouth words vanity whose right is a right of falsehood. 12 Because our sons as plants become grown in their youth; and our daughters as prominent corner pillars carved in the pattern of a manse; 13 our granaries fill up - producing species by species; our flocks bring forth a thousandfold and abound by the myriads in our outways; 14 our chiliarchs bear - neither breaching nor going out; nor cry out in our broadways. 15 Blithe - that people, who is thus; yes, blithe - that people, whose Elohim is Yah Veh. 145 1 Halal: By David. I exalt you, my Elohim, O sovereign; and I bless your name eternally and eternally: 2 every day I bless you; and I halal your name eternally and eternally: 3 great is Yah Veh and mightily to be halaled; and his greatness is not to be probed: 4 generation to generation lauds your works and tells your might: 5 I meditate on the glorious honor of your majesty and on your marvellous words: 6 and say of the strength of your awesome acts; I scribe your greatness: 7 they gush the memorial of your great goodness and shout of your justness. 8 Yah Veh is charismatic and merciful; slow to wrath and of great mercy: 9 Yah Veh is good to all; and his tender mercies are over all his works. 10 All your works spread hands to you, O Yah Veh; and your mercied bless you: 11 they say of the honor of your sovereigndom and word of your might; 12 to make his might known to the sons of humanity - and the honor of majesty of his kingdom. 13 Your sovereigndom is an eternal sovereigndom and your reign generation to generation. 14 Yah Veh upholds all who fall and raises all who are bowed down: 15 the eyes of all expect you; and you give them their food on time: 16 you open your hand and satisfy the pleasure of all living. 17 Yah Veh is just in all his ways and mercied in all his works: 18 Yah Veh is near all who call on him - to all who call on him in truth: 19 he works their pleasure, who awe him; he hears their cry and saves them: 20 Yah Veh guards all who love him; and desolates all the wicked. 21 My mouth words the halal of Yah Veh; all flesh blesses his holy name eternally and eternally. 146 1 Halalu Yah! Halal Yah Veh, O my soul. 2 I halal Yah Veh in my life time; I psalm to my Elohim while I still am. 3 Confide not in volunteers - in a son of humanity - in whom there is no salvation: 4 his spirit goes; he returns to his soil; that very day his thoughts destruct. 5 Blithe - he who has El of Yaaqov for his help; whose expectation is in Yah Veh his Elohim 6 - who worked the heavens and earth, the sea and all therein: who guards truth eternally; 7 who works judgment for the oppressed; who gives bread to the famished. Yah Veh looses the bound; 8 Yah Veh opens the blind; Yah Veh raises the bowed; Yah Veh loves the just; 9 Yah Veh guards the sojourners; he restores the orphan and widow; and twists the way of the wicked. 10 Yah Veh reigns eternal; your Elohim, O Siyon, generation to generation. Halalu Yah! 147 1 Halalu Yah! For it is good to psalm to our Elohim; for it is pleasant; and befits halal: 2 Yah Veh builds Yeru Shalem; he gathers the overthrown of Yisra El; 3 he heals the broken in heart and binds their contortions; 4 he numbers the number of the stars; he calls them all by names. 5 Great is our Adonay and great of force; his discernments innumerable: 6 Yah Veh restores the humble; he abases the wicked to the earth. 7 Answer Yah Veh with spread hands; psalm on the harp to our Elohim 8 - who covers the heavens with thick clouds; who prepares rain for the earth; who sprouts grass on the mountains; 9 who gives his bread to the animal and to the sons of ravens who call. 10 He neither delights in the might of the horse; nor takes pleasure in the legs of a man. 11 Yah Veh takes pleasure in them who awe him; who await his mercy. 12 Laud Yah Veh, O Yeru Shalem; halal your Elohim, O Siyon. 13 For he strengthens the bars of your portals; he blesses your sons within you; 14 who sets shalom in your borders and satisfies you with the fat of the wheat; 15 who sends his sayings on earth; whose word runs very quickly; 16 who gives snow as wool: he scatters the hoarfrost as ashes; 17 he casts his ice as morsels. Who stands at the face of his cold? 18 He sends his word and they melt; he blows his wind; the waters flow; 19 he tells his word to Yaaqov - his words and his judgments to Yisra El. 20 He worked not thus with any goyim; and as to judgments, they know them not. Halalu Yah! 148 1 Halalu Yah! Halal Yah Veh from the heavens; halal him in the heights; 2 halal him, all his angels; halal him, all his hosts; 3 halal him, sun and moon; halal him, all you stars of light; 4 halal him, you heavens of the heavens and you waters above the heavens: 5 Halal the name of Yah Veh; for he misvahed and they were created. 6 He stands them eternally and eternally; he gave a statute; they pass not over. 7 Halal Yah Veh from the earth you monsters and all abysses; 8 fire and hail; snow and smoke; stormy wind working his word; 9 mountains and all hills; fruitful trees and all cedars; 10 live beings and all animals; creepers and birds of wing; 11 sovereigns of the earth and all nations; governors and all judges of the earth; 12 both youths and maidens; aged and lads! 13 Halal the name of Yah Veh; for his name alone is lofted; his majesty is above the earth and the heavens: 14 he exalts the horn of his people - the halal of all his mercied; of the sons of Yisra El - a people near him. Halalu Yah! 149 1 Halalu Yah! Sing Yah Veh a new song and his halal in the congregation of the mercied. 2 Yisra El cheers in his Worker; the sons of Siyon twirl in their Sovereign: 3 they halal his name in the round dance; they psalm to him with tambourine and harp; 4 for Yah Veh takes pleasure in his people; he adorns the humble with salvation. 5 The mercied jump for joy in honor; they shout on their beds; 6 the exaltation of El is in their throat and a sword of teeth in their hand 7 - to work vengeance on the goyim and reproofs on the nations: 8 to bind their sovereigns with bonds and their honored with fetters of iron: 9 to work on them the inscribed judgment - a majesty for all his mercied. Halalu Yah! 150 1 Halalu Yah! Halal El in his holies; halal him in the expanse of his strength; 2 halal him for his might; halal him according to his abundant greatness; 3 halal him with the blast of the shophar; halal him with the bagpipe and harp; 4 halal him with the tambourine and round dance; halal him with strummers and woodwinds; 5 halal him on the hearkening cymbals; halal him on the clanging cymbals. 6 All you who breathe, halal Yah. Halalu Yah!
