106

1; Halleluyah! Give thanks to YAHWEH, for He is good; for His mercy endures forever.

2; Who can express the mighty works of YAHWEH, or cause all His praise to be heard?

3; Blessed are those keeping judgment, he who does righteousness at all times.

4; Remember me, YAHWEH, with the favor of Your people; O visit me with Your salvation,

5; to see the good of Your chosen, to rejoice in the joy of Your nation, to glory with Your inheritance.

6; We have sinned with our fathers; we did iniquity; we did evil.

7; Our fathers did not ponder Your wonders in Egypt; they did not remember Your many mercies, and they rebelled at the sea, at the Red Sea.

8; But He saved them for His name's sake, to make known His might.

9; And He rebuked the Red Sea; and it dried up; and He made them go through the depths as through the wilderness.

10; And He saved them from the hand of the one hating, and ransomed him from the hand of the enemy;

11; and waters covered their enemies; not one of them was left.

12; Then they believed His Words; they sang His praise.

13; They hurried and forgot His works; they did not wait for His counsel;

14; and they greedily lusted in the wilderness, and tested El in the desert.

15; And He gave their request to them, but sent wasting into their soul.

16; And they were jealous of Moses the set-a-part one of YAHWEH in the camp of Aaron;

17; the earth opened up and swallowed Dathan; and covered the company of Abiram.

18; And a fire burned in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.

19; They made a calf in Horeb, and fell down before the casted image;

20; and they changed their Glory into the image of an ox eating grass.

21; They forgot El their deliverer, who was doing great things in Egypt;

22; wonders in the land of Ham, awesome things by the Red Sea.

23; And He said to destroy them; except Moses His chosen had stood before Him in the breach, to turn away His wrath from destroying them.

24; They despised the pleasant land; they did not believe His Word.

25; And they murmured in their tents, not listening to the voice of YAHWEH;

26; and He lifted up His hand to them, to make them fall in the wilderness;

27; to make their seed fall also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.

28; They also were joined to Baal- Peor, and ate the sacrifices of the ones who died;

29; and provoked Him with their deeds; and a plague broke out among them.

30; Then Phinehas stood and intervened, and the plague was stayed;

31; and it was counted to him for righteousness to generation and generation, forever.

32; And they angered Him at The Waters of Provocation, and it went ill for Moses because of them;

33; for they provoked his spirit, and he spoke rashly with his lips.

34; They did not destroy the peoples, as YAHWEH said to them,

35; but mixed with the nations, and learned their works.

36; And they served their idols, and they became a snare to them.

37; Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons;

38; and they shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan. And the land was polluted with the blood.

39; And they were unclean with their works, and went whoring in their acts.

40; And the anger of YAHWEH burned against His people; and He detested His inheritance.

41; And He gave them into the hand of the nations; and those who hated them ruled over them.

42; And their enemies oppressed them and they were humbled under their hand.

43; Many times He delivered them, but they rebelled in their plans, and sank in their iniquities.

44; And He looked on their affliction when He heard their shout;

45; He remembered His covenant for them, and breathed a sigh, according to His many mercies.

46; And He gave them to tender mercies before all their captors.

47; Save us, O YAHWEH our Elohim, and gather us from the nations, to give thanks to Your set-a-part name, to exult in Your praise.

48; Blessed is YAHWEH Elohim of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting. And let all the people say, Amen! Halleluyah!

 

107

1; Give thanks to YAHWEH, for He is good; for His mercy endures forever.

2; Let the redeemed of YAHWEH say so, whom He redeemed from the hand of the foe;

3; and gathered them from the lands; from east and from west; from north and from south.

4; They wandered in the wilderness, in a desert way; they found no city of dwelling;

5; hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them;

6; and they cried to YAHWEH in their distress; He delivered them from their straits.

7; And He guided them in the right way; to go to a city of dwelling.

8; Let them thank YAHWEH for His mercy, and His wonders to the sons of man.

9; He satisfies the thirsty soul, and He fills the hungry soul with good.

10; Those who live in the darkness, and in the shadow of death, being prisoners in affliction and iron,

11; because they rebelled against the Words of El, and despised the counsel of the Most High;

12; and He humbled their heart by toil; they stumbled, and none were helping;

13; and they cried to YAHWEH in their distress; He saved them out of their distresses;

14; He brought them out from darkness and the shadow of death; and He broke their bonds apart.

15; Let them thank YAHWEH for His mercy, and His wonders to the sons of man.

16; For He has broken the gates of bronze; and He cut bars of iron in two.

17; Fools are afflicted from the way of their rebellion, and from their iniquities;

18; their soul hates every food; and they touch the gates of death;

19; and they cried to YAHWEH in their distress; He saved them from their straits;

20; He sent His Word and healed them; and delivered them from all their pitfalls.

21; Let them thank YAHWEH for His mercy, and His wonders to the sons of man.

22; And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and recount His works with rejoicing.

23; They who go down to the sea in ships, who work in the great waters;

24; these see the works of YAHWEH, and His wonders in the deep.

25; For He speaks, and He raises stormy wind, and makes its waves high;

26; they go up to the heavens; they go down to the depths; their soul is melted because they are in evil;

27; they reel and stagger like a drunken man, and all their wisdom is swallowed up;

28; and they cry to YAHWEH in their distress, and from their straits He brings them out.

29; He settles the storm to a whisper, so that its waves are still;

30; and they are glad, because they are quiet; and He led them to their desired haven.

31; Let them thank YAHWEH for His mercy, and His wonders to the sons of mankind;

32; and exalt Him in the congregation of the people; and praise Him in the seat of the elders.

33; He sets rivers to a wilderness, and watersprings to thirsty ground;

34; a fruitful land to a salty desert; because of the wickedness of those who live in it.

35; He puts the wilderness into pools of water; and dry land into watersprings;

36; and He makes the hungry live there, and they may prepare a city of dwelling.

37; And they sow the fields, and plant vineyards, and make fruits of produce.

38; He also blesses them, so that they multiply greatly; and He does not allow their cattle to diminish;

39; but they are diminished and bowed down from coercion, evil and grief.

40; He pours scorn on nobles, and causes them to wander in a desert; there is no path.

41; But He raises the poor up from affliction, and He sets families like a flock.

42; The upright shall see and be glad; and all iniquity shuts its mouth.

43; Whoever is wise and will observe these things, they shall discern the mercies of YAHWEH.

 

108

1; A Song. A Psalm of David. O Elohim, my heart is fixed; I will sing; yea, I will sing songs even with my glory.

2; Awake, harp and lyre! I will awake early;

3; I will thank You, O YAHWEH, among the peoples; and I will sing to You among the nations.

4; For Your mercy is great above the heavens; and Your truth reaches to the clouds.

5; Be lifted up, O Elohim, above the heavens; and Your glory above all the earth;

6; O that Your beloved may be delivered; save by Your right hand and answer me.

7; Elohim has spoken in His holiness; I will rejoice; I will portion out Shechem; and I will measure out the valley of Succoth.

8; Gilead is Mine; and Manasseh is Mine; and Ephraim is the refuge of My head; Judah is My lawgiver;

9; Moab is My washpot; I will throw My shoe out over Edom; I will shout in triumph over Philistia.

10; Who will lead me into the fortified city? Who will lead me over Edom?

11; O Elohim, have You not cast us off? And, O Elohim, will You not go out with our armies?

12; Give help to us from distress; for the deliverance of man is vanity.

13; In Elohim we shall do mighty things, for He shall trample ones oppressing us.

 

109

1; To the chief musician, A Psalm of David. O Elohim of my praise, do not be silent;

2; for the mouth of the wicked, and the deceitful mouth, are opened against me; they spoke against me with a lying tongue.

3; And they hemmed me in with words of hating; and they fought against me without a cause.

4; In return for my love, they are my enemies; but I am in prayer.

5; And they put on me evil for good, and hating for my love.

6; Set a wicked man over him; and let an adversary stand at his right hand;

7; when he is judged, let him go out wicked; and let his prayer become sin;

8; let his days be few; and let another take his office;

9; his sons be orphans, and his wife a widow;

10; and let his sons always beg and wander, and seek food out of their ruins;

11; let the moneylender lay a snare for all that is his; and let strangers plunder his labor;

12; let there be none giving mercy to him; nor any to have pity on his orphans;

13; let his posterity be cut off; let their name be blotted out in the following generation;

14; let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered to YAHWEH; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out;

15; let them be always before YAHWEH, so that He may cut off the memory of them from the earth;

16; because he did not remember to do mercy; and he persecuted the poor and needy man, even to kill the broken of heart.

17; Yea, he loved cursing, and it came to him; he also had no pleasure in blessing, and it was far from him.

18; And he put on cursing as his robe, and it came like water in his inward parts, and like oil into his bones.

19; Let it be to him as a garment he wraps in, and for a girdle that he always girds on.

20; This is the reward of my foes from YAHWEH, and of those who speak evil against my soul.

21; But You, O YAHWEH Adonai, work with me for Your name's sake; deliver me because Your mercy is good.

22; For I am poor and needy, and my heart is pierced within me.

23; As a shadow when it stretches out, I am gone; I am shaken off like the locust.

24; My knees stumble from fasting, and my flesh grows lean from fatness.

25; And I have become a reproach to them; they looked at me; they shook their heads.

26; O YAHWEH my Elohim, save me; save me according to Your mercy;

27; and they will know that this is Your hand; that You, O YAHWEH, have done it.

28; They will curse, but You will bless; they rise up and are ashamed; but Your servant will be glad.

29; Let those who accuse me be clothed with shame; and cover themselves in their shame as with a robe.

30; I will greatly thank YAHWEH with my mouth; yea, I will praise Him in the midst of the multitude.

31; For He shall stand at the right hand of the needy; to save from those judging his soul.

 

110

1; A Psalm of David. A declaration of YAHWEH to my Adonai: Sit at My right hand, until I place Your enemies as Your footstool.

2; YAHWEH shall send the rod of Your strength out of Zion to rule in the midst of Your enemies.

3; Your people shall have willingness in the day of Your might; in the majesties of holiness; from the womb of the dawn, to You is the dew of Your youth.

4; YAHWEH has sworn and will not repent: You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

5; YAHWEH at Your right hand shatters kings in the day of His anger.

6; He shall judge among the nations; He shall fill with dead bodies; He shall shatter heads over much land.

7; He shall drink out of the torrent on the way; therefore, He shall lift up the head.

 

111

1; HalleluYah! I will thank YAHWEH with all my heart; in the council of the upright, and of the assembly.

2; The works of YAHWEH are great, sought out by all those desiring them.

3; His work is honorable and glorious; and His righteousness is standing forever.

4; He has made a memorial for His wonders; YAHWEH is gracious and full of pity.

5; He has given food to those who reverence Him; He will always remember His covenant.

6; He has shown to His people the power of His works, to give to them the inheritance of the nations.

7; The works of His hands are truth and judgment all His instructions are true,

8; standing firm forever and ever; they are done in truth and uprightness.

9; He sent redemption to His people; He has commanded His covenant forever; set-a-part and awesome is His name.

10; The reverence of YAHWEH is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding to all those who are practicing them; His praise is standing forever!

 

112

1; HalleluYah! Blessed is the man who reverences YAHWEH, delighting greatly in His instructions.

2; His seed shall be mighty on the earth; the generation of the upright shall be blessed;

3; wealth and riches are in his house; and his righteousness is standing forever.

4; Light rises in the darkness to the upright; he is gracious and full of pity, and of righteousness.

5; Good is a man showing favor and lending; he will measure his matters with justice.

6; For he shall not be shaken forever; the righteous shall be for a memorial forever.

7; He shall not be afraid of evil news; his heart is fixed, trusting in YAHWEH.

8; His heart is upheld; he shall not be afraid though he looks on his foes.

9; He has scattered; he has given to the needy; his righteousness is standing forever; his horn shall be lifted up with honor.

10; The wicked shall see and be vexed; he shall gnash his teeth and melt; the desire of the wicked shall perish.

8; in order to make him sit with nobles, with the nobles of his people.

9; He causes the barren to live in the house as the joyful mother of sons. HalleluYah!

 

113

1; When Israel came out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

2; Judah became His sanctuary, Israel His kingdom.

3; The sea looked and fled; the Jordan turned back;

4; the mountains skipped like rams; the little hills like lambs!

5; What ails you, O sea, that you flee? O Jordan, that you turn back?

6; O mountains, that you skip like rams? O little hills, like lambs?

7; Tremble, O earth, from the face of the master, from the face of the Elohim of Jacob;

8; who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.

 

113

1; HalleluYah! Praise, O servants of YAHWEH; praise the name of YAHWEH.

2; Blessed is the name of YAHWEH from now on and forevermore.

3; From the rising of the sun to its going, the name of YAHWEH is to be praised.

4; YAHWEH is high above all nations; His glory above the heavens.

5; Who is like YAHWEH our Elohim, who sit on high to dwell;

6; Who humbles Himself to consider all in the earth and the heavens!

7; He raises up the poor from the dust; He lifts the needy out of the dunghill,

 

114

1; Not to us, O YAHWEH, not to us, but to Your name give glory; on account of Your mercy, on account of Your truth.

2; Why do the nations say, Where is their Elohim now?

3; But our Elohim is in Heaven; He has done all that He has pleased.

4; Their idols are silver and gold, the work of man's hands;

5; they have mouths, but they do not speak; they have eyes, but they do not see;

6; they have ears, but they do not hear; they have a nose, but they do not smell;

7; their hands do not feel; their feet do not walk; they do not mutter through their throat.

8; The ones who make them are like them, and everyone trusting in them.

9; O Israel, trust in YAHWEH; He is their help and their shield.

10; O house of Aaron, trust in YAHWEH; He is their help and their shield.

11; Ones fearing YAHWEH, trust in YAHWEH; He is their help and their shield.

12; YAHWEH remembers us; He will bless; He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron;

13; He will bless those who reverence YAHWEH, the small and the great.

14; YAHWEH will add on to you; on you and on your sons.

15; You are blessed to YAHWEH, He who makes heavens and earth.

16; The heavens; the heavens belong to YAHWEH, but He has given the earth to the sons of men.

17; The dying do not praise YAHWEH, nor all those who go down into silence;

18; but we will bless YAHWEH, from now on and forever. HalleluYah!
