⁴ And I go in unto the altar of God, Unto God, the joy of my rejoicing. And I thank Thee with a harp, O God, my God.

⁷ Some of chariots, and some of horses, And we of the name of Jehovah our God Make mention. ⁸ They—they have bowed and have fallen, And we have risen and station ourselves upright.

¹ By David. Judge me, O Jehovah, for I in mine integrity have walked, And in Jehovah I have trusted, I slide not.

⁴ I sojourn in Thy tent to the ages, I trust in the secret place of Thy wings. Selah.

⁶ Days to the days of the king Thou addest, His years as generation and generation. ⁷ He dwelleth to the age before God, Kindness and truth appoint—they keep him.

² He is saying of Jehovah, `My refuge, and my bulwark, my God, I trust in Him,'

⁹ (For Thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge,) The Most High thou madest thy habitation. ¹⁰ Evil happeneth not unto thee, And a plague cometh not near thy tent,

¹⁴ And to him is given dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, and all peoples, nations, and languages do serve him, his dominion is a dominion age-during, that passeth not away, and his kingdom that which is not destroyed.

⁴³ he hath trusted on God, let Him now deliver him, if He wish him, because he said—Son of God I am;'

¹ To the Overseer. —By a servant of Jehovah, by David, who hath spoken to Jehovah the words of this song in the day Jehovah delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul, and he saith: —I love Thee, O Jehovah, my strength.

⁹ Before him bow do the inhabitants of the dry places, And his enemies lick the dust.

²² An enemy exacteth not upon him, And a son of perverseness afflicteth him not. ²³ And I have beaten down before him his adversaries, And those hating him I plague,

¹ A Psalm of David. The affirmation of Jehovah to my Lord: `Sit at My right hand, Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.' ² The rod of thy strength doth Jehovah send from Zion, Rule in the midst of thine enemies.

¹⁰ As my hand hath got to the kingdoms of a worthless thing, and their graven images, Greater than Jerusalem and than Samaria,

² If they dig through into sheol, From thence doth My hand take them, And if they go up the heavens, From thence I cause them to come down. ³ And if they be hid in the top of Carmel, From thence I search out, and have taken them, And if they be hid from Mine eyes in the bottom of the sea, From thence I command the serpent, And it hath bitten them.

¹⁴ and his citizens were hating him, and did send an embassy after him, saying, We do not wish this one to reign over us.

²⁷ but those my enemies, who did not wish me to reign over them, bring hither and slay before me.'

²⁵ for it behoveth him to reign till he may have put all the enemies under his feet—

²⁸ any one who did set at nought a law of Moses, apart from mercies, by two or three witnesses, doth die, ²⁹ of how much sorer punishment shall he be counted worthy who the Son of God did trample on, and the blood of the covenant did count a common thing, in which he was sanctified, and to the Spirit of the grace did despite?

¹⁵ and out of his mouth doth proceed a sharp sword, that with it he may smite the nations, and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, and he doth tread the press of the wine of the wrath and the anger of God the Almighty,

²⁸ and he looketh on the face of Sodom and Gomorrah, and on all the face of the land of the circuit, and seeth, and lo, the smoke of the land went up as smoke of the furnace.

²² For a fire hath been kindled in Mine anger, And it burneth unto Sheol—the lowest, And consumeth earth and its increase, And setteth on fire foundations of mountains.

³ For now, than the sands of the sea it is heavier, Therefore my words have been rash.

⁵ Then doth He speak unto them in His anger, And in His wrath He doth trouble them:

¹² Kiss the Chosen One, lest He be angry, And ye lose the way, When His anger burneth but a little, O the happiness of all trusting in Him!

⁸ Gone up hath smoke by His nostrils, And fire from His mouth consumeth, Coals have been kindled by it.

³ Our God cometh, and is not silent, Fire before Him doth devour, And round about him it hath been very tempestuous.

¹ To the Overseer. —`On the Dumb Dove far off.' —A secret treasure of David, in the Philistines' taking hold of him in Gath. Favour me, O God, for man swallowed me up, All the day fighting he oppresseth me, ² Mine enemies have swallowed up all the day, For many are fighting against me, O most High,

¹⁷ Earth openeth, and swalloweth up Dathan, And covereth over the company of Abiram.

¹¹ O Jehovah, high is Thy hand—they see not, They see the zeal of the people, and are ashamed, Also, the fire—Thine adversaries, consumeth them.

² Swallowed up hath the Lord, He hath not pitied any of the pleasant places of Jacob, He hath broken down in His wrath The fortresses of the daughter of Judah, He hath caused to come to the earth, He polluted the kingdom and its princes.

²⁰ and to certain mighty men who are in his force he hath said to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, to cast into the burning fiery furnace. ²¹ Then these men have been bound in their coats, their tunics, and their turbans, and their clothing, and have been cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. ²² Therefore, because that the word of the king is urgent, and the furnace heated exceedingly, those men who have taken up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego—killed them hath the spark of the fire.

⁶ Before His indignation who doth stand? And who riseth up in the heat of His anger? His fury hath been poured out like fire, And the rocks have been broken by Him.

¹ For, lo, the day hath come, burning as a furnace, And all the proud, and every wicked doer, have been stubble, And burnt them hath the day that came, Said Jehovah of Hosts, That there is not left to them root or branch,

¹⁰ and now also, the axe unto the root of the trees is laid, every tree therefore not bearing good fruit is hewn down, and to fire is cast.

¹² whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his floor, and will gather his wheat to the storehouse, but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.'

⁴² and shall cast them to the furnace of the fire; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.

⁵⁰ and shall cast them to the furnace of the fire, there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.'

⁷ `And the king having heard, was wroth, and having sent forth his soldiers, he destroyed those murderers, and their city he set on fire;

⁴¹ Then shall he say also to those on the left hand, Go ye from me, the cursed, to the fire, the age-during, that hath been prepared for the Devil and his messengers;

⁴⁶ And these shall go away to punishment age-during, but the righteous to life age-during.'

¹⁶ forbidding us to speak to the nations that they might be saved, to fill up their sins always, but the anger did come upon them—to the end!

⁸ in flaming fire, giving vengeance to those not knowing God, and to those not obeying the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ;

¹⁶ and they say to the mountains and to the rocks, `Fall upon us, and hide us from the face of Him who is sitting upon the throne, and from the anger of the Lamb,' ¹⁷ because come did the great day of His anger, and who is able to stand?

¹⁴ and the death and the hades were cast to the lake of the fire—this is the second death;

³⁴ And in this thing is the sin of the house of Jeroboam, even to cut it off, and to destroy it from off the face of the ground.

¹⁶ From beneath his roots are dried up, And from above cut off is his crop. ¹⁷ His memorial hath perished from the land, And he hath no name on the street. ¹⁸ They thrust him from light unto darkness, And from the habitable earth cast him out. ¹⁹ He hath no continuator, Nor successor among his people, And none is remaining in his dwellings.

²⁸ Remove doth the increase of his house, Poured forth in a day of His anger.

²⁸ For Jehovah is loving judgment, And He doth not forsake His saintly ones, To the age they have been kept, And the seed of the wicked is cut off.

¹³ His posterity is for cutting off, In another generation is their name blotted out.

²⁰ Thou art not united with them in burial, For thy land thou hast destroyed, Thy people thou hast slain, Not named to the age is the seed of evil doers.

¹ Why have nations tumultuously assembled? And do peoples meditate vanity?

² Through the pride of the wicked, Is the poor inflamed, They are caught in devices that they devised.

¹³ For I have heard an evil account of many, Fear is round about. In their being united against me, To take my life they have devised,

²⁰ For they speak not peace, And against the quiet of the land, Deceitful words they devise,

⁴ They have said, `Come, And we cut them off from being a nation, And the name of Israel is not remembered any more.'

⁶ We go up into Judah, and we vex it, And we rend it unto ourselves, And we cause a king to reign in its midst—The son of Tabeal. ⁷ Thus said the Lord Jehovah: It doth not stand, nor shall it be!

⁹ Be friends, O nations, and be broken, And give ear, all ye far off ones of earth, Gird yourselves, and be broken, Gird yourselves, and be broken. ¹⁰ Take counsel, and it is broken, Speak a word, and it doth not stand, Because of Emmanu-El!'

¹⁸ And, O Jehovah, cause me to know, and I know, Then Thou hast showed me their doings. ¹⁹ And I am as a trained lamb brought to slaughter, And I have not known That against me they have devised devices: We destroy the tree with its food, and cut him off From the land of the living, And his name is not remembered again.

² And He saith unto me, `Son of man, these are the men who are devising iniquity, and who are giving evil counsel in this city;

⁸ and having sent them to Beth-Lehem, he said, `Having gone—inquire ye exactly for the child, and whenever ye may have found, bring me back word, that I also having come may bow to him.'

¹⁶ Then Herod, having seen that he was deceived by the mages, was very wroth, and having sent forth, he slew all the male children in Beth-Lehem, and in all its borders, from two years and under, according to the time that he inquired exactly from the mages.

⁴⁶ and seeking to lay hold on him, they feared the multitudes, seeing they were holding him as a prophet.

⁴ and they consulted together that they might take Jesus by guile, and kill him, ⁵ and they said, `Not in the feast, that there may not be a tumult among the people.'

⁶³ saying, `Sir, we have remembered that that deceiver said while yet living, After three days I do rise; ⁶⁴ command, then, the sepulchre to be made secure till the third day, lest his disciples, having come by night, may steal him away, and may say to the people, He rose from the dead, and the last deceit shall be worse than the first.'

² and lo, there came a great earthquake, for a messenger of the Lord, having come down out of heaven, having come, did roll away the stone from the door, and was sitting upon it, ³ and his countenance was as lightning, and his clothing white as snow, ⁴ and from the fear of him did the keepers shake, and they became as dead men. ⁵ And the messenger answering said to the women, `Fear not ye, for I have known that Jesus, who hath been crucified, ye seek; ⁶ he is not here, for he rose, as he said; come, see the place where the Lord was lying;

¹⁷ but that it may spread no further toward the people, let us strictly threaten them no more to speak in this name to any man.' ¹⁸ And having called them, they charged them not to speak at all, nor to teach, in the name of Jesus,

²⁷ and having brought them, they set them in the sanhedrim, and the chief priest questioned them, ²⁸ saying, `Did not we strictly command you not to teach in this name? and lo, ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and ye intend to bring upon us the blood of this man.'

²⁰ I have sinned, what do I to Thee, O watcher of man? Why hast Thou set me for a mark to Thee, And I am for a burden to myself—and what?

¹² At ease I have been, and he breaketh me, And he hath laid hold on my neck, And he breaketh me in pieces, And he raiseth me to him for a mark. ¹³ Go round against me do his archers. He splitteth my reins, and spareth not, He poureth out to the earth my gall.

¹² If one turn not, His sword he sharpeneth, His bow he hath trodden—He prepareth it, ¹³ Yea, for him He hath prepared Instruments of death, His arrows for burning pursuers He maketh.

³ In mine enemies turning backward, they stumble and perish from Thy face.

¹⁴ And He sendeth His arrows and scattereth them, And much lightning, and crusheth them.

⁴⁰ As to mine enemies—Thou hast given to me the neck, As to those hating me—I cut them off.

¹⁰ Thou causest us to turn backward from an adversary, And those hating us, Have spoiled for themselves.

⁹ Then turn back do mine enemies in the day I call. This I have known, that God is for me.

⁷ And God doth shoot them with an arrow, Sudden have been their wounds,

¹² He hath trodden His bow, And setteth me up as a mark for an arrow.

¹¹ To Thee, O Jehovah, is the greatness, and the might, and the beauty, and the victory, and the honour, because of all in the heavens and in the earth; to Thee, O Jehovah, is the kingdom, and he who is lifting up himself over all for head;

¹⁹ If of power, lo, the Strong One; And if of judgment—who doth convene me?

⁴⁶ Jehovah liveth—and blessed is my rock, And exalted is the God of my salvation.
