⁷ I abandoned you _⌊for a short_⌋* moment, but* I will gather you with great compassion. ⁸ I hid my face from you for a moment, in the flowing of anger, but* I will have compassion on you with everlasting faithfulness" says your redeemer, Yahweh.

⁶ He says in his heart, "I shall not be moved _⌊throughout all generations_⌋,* during which I will have no trouble."

⁵ He does not lend his money at interest, and does not take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things will never be shaken.

⁸ I have set Yahweh before me always. Because he is at my right hand I will not be shaken.

¹¹⁷ Uphold me, that I may be delivered, and have regard for your statutes continually.

¹⁹ And I will say to my soul, "Soul, you have many possessions stored up for many years. Relax, eat, drink, celebrate!" '

⁷ even because of the extraordinary degree of the revelations. Therefore, so that I would not exalt myself, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan, in order that it would torment me so that I would not exalt myself.

¹⁷ And _⌊my anger shall flare up against them_⌋* on that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they* shall become as prey, and disasters and troubles shall find* them,* and they* shall say on that day, 'Is it not because our* God is not in our* midst that these disasters have found* us?'*

²⁶ So now, O Yahweh, you yourself are God, and you have spoken to your servant this good thing. ²⁷ And now may you begin to bless the house of your servant _⌊to continue forever_⌋* before you, for you, O Yahweh, have blessed. And it will be blessed forever."

¹² You have granted me life and loyal love, and your care has preserved my spirit.

²⁶ Indeed, I hoped for good, but evil came, and I waited for light, but darkness came. ²⁷ My bowels are in turmoil, and they are not still; days of misery come to confront me. ²⁸ I go about in mourning garb, but not in sunlight; I stand up in the assembly, and I cry for help. ²⁹ I am a companion for the jackals and a companion for _⌊ostriches_⌋.* ³⁰ My skin turns black on me, and my bones burn with heat. ³¹ So* my lyre came to be used for mourning, and my flute for the voice of those who weep.

¹² For you bless the righteous. O Yahweh, like a* shield you surround him with good favor.

¹ Why, O Yahweh, do you stand far off? Why do you hide* during times of distress?

¹ For the music director. A psalm of David.*
How long, O Yahweh? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? ² How long must I take counsel* in my soul, and sorrow in my heart all the day? How long will my enemy be exalted over me?

³⁵ You also gave me the shield of your salvation, and your right hand supported me, and your humility made me great. ³⁶ You enlarged my step under me, and my ankles did not slip.

⁵ For there is a moment in his anger; there is a lifetime in his favor. Weeping lodges for the evening, but in the morning comes rejoicing.

² And so he brought me up from the roaring pit,* from the miry clay. And he put my feet upon a rock; he made my steps steady.

³ For not with their sword did they possess the land, and their arm did not give them victory. Rather it was your right hand and your arm and the light of your presence, because you delighted in them.

¹⁷ For you are the glory of their strength, and by your favor our horn rises up,*

¹⁰ because of your indignation and anger, for you have picked me up and thrown me away.

²⁹ You hide your face, they are terrified. You take away their breath, they die and return to their dust.

⁷ Quickly answer me, O Yahweh; my spirit fails. Do not hide your face from me, or I will become like those descending to the pit.

¹⁷ Look! Bitterness was bitter to me for peace. And you were the one who loved* my life from the pit of destruction, for you have cast all my sins behind your back.

⁶ This poor man called and Yahweh heard, and saved him from all his troubles.

¹ For the music director, on Jeduthun.* Of Asaph. A psalm.*
I cry out with my voice to God; with my voice to God, that he may hear me. ² In the day I have trouble, I seek* the Lord. At night my hand stretches out _⌊continually_⌋;* my soul refuses to be comforted.

¹ A song of ascents.*
Out of the depths I call to you, O Yahweh. ² "O Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.

⁸ For to one is given a word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another a word of knowledge by the same Spirit, ⁹ to another faith by the same Spirit, to another* gifts of healing by the one Spirit,

⁶ Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. ⁷ And the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds* in Christ Jesus.

⁵ For there is no remembrance of you in death. In Sheol, who will give thanks to you?

¹⁰ Do you work wonders* for the dead? Or do the departed spirits* rise up to praise you? Selah ¹¹ Is your loyal love told in the grave, or your faithfulness in the underworld?* ¹² Are your wonders* known in the darkness, or your righteousness* in the land of forgetfulness?

¹⁷ The dead do not praise Yah,* nor any descending into silence. ¹⁸ It is we, we will bless Yah* from now until forever. Praise Yah!*

¹⁷ I will not die but live, and tell of the works of Yah.*

¹⁰ Whatever your hand finds to do—do it with all your might; for in Sheol—where you are going—no one works, plans, knows, or thinks about anything.

¹⁸ For Sheol cannot praise you; death cannot praise you. Those who go down to the pit cannot hope for your faithfulness.

⁷ Hear, O Yahweh, my voice when I call, and be gracious to me and answer me.

⁷ Yahweh is my strength and my shield. My heart trusts him and I am helped. So my heart rejoices, and with my song I will give thanks to him.

¹ For the music director. A psalm of David. When Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.*
Be gracious to me, O God, according to your loyal love. According to your abundant mercies, blot out my transgressions. ² Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and from my sin cleanse me.

⁴ See, God is my helper; The Lord is with those who sustain my life.*

¹ A psalm of David.*
O Yahweh, hear my prayer; listen to my supplications. In your faithfulness answer me, and in your righteousness.

⁷ Quickly answer me, O Yahweh; my spirit fails. Do not hide your face from me, or I will become like those descending to the pit. ⁸ Cause me to hear your loyal love in the morning, for I trust you. Cause me to know the way that I should go, for I lift up my soul to you. ⁹ Deliver me from my enemies, O Yahweh. I take refuge in you.*

³⁵ And all his sons and daughters tried to console him, but he refused to be consoled. And he said, "No, I shall go down to my son, to Sheol, mourning." And his father wept for him.

²⁸ And Israel said, "It is enough. Joseph my son is still alive. I will go and see him before I die."

¹⁴ Now David was dancing with all his might before Yahweh, and David was wearing* a linen ephod.

³ Then Jehoshaphat was afraid and set his face to seek Yahweh. And he called for a fast through all Judah.

⁹ 'If disaster, a sword, punishment, disease, or famine come upon us, we shall stand before this house and before you—for your name is in this house—and cry out to you out of our trouble, then you will hear and save us.'

¹² O our God, will you not judge them, for there is no power in us before this great multitude that is coming against us. Now we do not know what we shall do, for our eyes are upon you."

²⁷ And all the men of Judah and Jerusalem returned, and Jehoshaphat was at their head in returning to Jerusalem with joy, for Yahweh caused them to rejoice over their enemies. ²⁸ And they came to Jerusalem with harps, stringed instruments, and trumpets to the house of Yahweh.

¹⁰ Then he said to them, "Go, eat festive food and drink sweet drinks, and send a share to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our lord. Do not be grieved because the joy of Yahweh is your refuge."

²² as the day that the Jews _⌊found relief_⌋* from their enemies, and the month which changed for them from sorrow to joy, and from a mourning ceremony to a _⌊festive day_⌋;* to make them days of feasting and joy, and giving gifts to each other and to the poor.

⁷ You have put gladness in my heart more than _⌊when_⌋* their grain and their wine abound.

¹ A song of ascents.*
When Yahweh restored the fortunes* of Zion,* we were like dreamers. ² Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with rejoicing. Then they said among the nations, "Yahweh has done great things for these people."

³ Let them praise his name with dancing; let them sing praises to him with tambourine and lyre.

⁴ Praise him with tambourine and dancing; praise him with strings and flute.

⁴ a time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to mourn and a time to dance;

³ Therefore strong peoples will glorify you; a city of ruthless nations, they will fear you.

⁸ He will _⌊destroy_⌋* death forever, and the Lord Yahweh will wipe off the tears from all faces, and he will remove the disgrace of his people from all the earth,
for Yahweh has spoken.

³ to _⌊give_⌋* for those in mourning in Zion, to give them a head wrap instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, a garment of praise instead of a faint spirit. And _⌊they will be called_⌋* oaks of righteousness, the planting of Yahweh, to show his glory.

¹⁰ I will rejoice greatly in Yahweh; my being shall shout in exultation in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation, he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns himself with a head wrap like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewelry.

¹⁰ "Rejoice with Jerusalem and shout in exultation with her, all those who love her! Rejoice with her in joy, all those who mourn over her, ¹¹ so that you may suck and be satisfied from her _⌊consoling breast_⌋,* so that you may drink deeply and refresh yourselves from her _⌊heavy breast_⌋."*

⁴ I will again build you, and you will be built, O virgin Israel. You will again adorn yourself with your tambourines, and you will go forth in the dancing in a ring of the merrymakers.

¹³ "Then the young woman will rejoice in the dancing in a ring, and the young men and the old men together. And I will turn their mourning to jubilation, and I will comfort them, and I will gladden them from their sorrow. ¹⁴ And I will saturate the appetite of the priests with fatness, and my people will be satisfied with my goodness," _⌊declares_⌋* Yahweh.

²² But his* father said to his slaves, 'Quickly bring out the best robe and put it* on him, and put a ring on his finger* and sandals on his* feet!

²⁰ Truly, truly I say to you, that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; you will become sorrowful, but your sorrow will change to joy.

¹⁴ And I said to him, "My lord, you know." And he said to me,
"These are the ones who have come out of the great tribulation, and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. ¹⁵ Because of this, they are before the throne of God, and they serve* him day and night in his temple, and the one who is seated on the throne _⌊will shelter_⌋* them. ¹⁶ They will not be hungry any longer or be thirsty any longer, nor will the sun ever beat down on them, nor any heat,* ¹⁷ because the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and will lead them to springs of living waters, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."*

⁴ And he will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death will not exist any longer, and* mourning or wailing or pain will not exist any longer. The former things* have passed away."

⁶ Let not my person* be joined to their company. For in their anger they killed men, and at their pleasure they hamstrung cattle.

⁶ * I will sing to Yahweh because he has dealt bountifully with me.

⁹ Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices. Yes, my body will dwell in safety,

⁸ In God we boast all the day, and we will give thanks to your name forever. Selah

⁸ Awake, my glory; Awake, harp and lyre. I will awake the dawn.*

¹⁴ But as for me, I will hope continually and increase your praise.

²³ My lips will sing for joy when I sing praises to you, and my soul, which you have redeemed.

² Every day I will bless you and praise your name forever and ever.

¹ Praise Yah.* Praise Yahweh, O my soul. ² I will praise Yahweh while I live; I will sing praises to my God while I am still alive.

⁴⁰ And he answered and* said, "I tell you that* if these keep silent, the stones will cry out!"

²⁰ For we are not able to refrain from speaking about the things that we have seen and heard."

⁸ And the four living creatures, _⌊each one_⌋* of them, had six wings apiece, full of eyes around and inside, and they do not have rest day and night, saying,
"Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God All-Powerful,* the one who was and the one who is and the one who is coming!" ⁹ And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to the one who is seated on the throne, the one who lives _⌊forever and ever_⌋*,

¹² saying,
"Amen! Praise and glory, and wisdom and thanksgiving, and honor and power and strength be to our God _⌊forever and ever_⌋*. Amen!"
