Book of Psalms
part 9
97
1; YAHWEH reigns! Let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of islands be glad.
2; Clouds and darkness are all around Him; righteousness and judgment are the foundation of His throne.
3; A fire goes before Him and burns up His enemies all around.
4; His lightnings lit up the world; the earth saw and trembled.
5; The mountains melted like wax before the face of YAHWEH, before the face of YAHWEH of the whole earth.
6; The heavens declare His righteousness and all the people see His glory.
7; All who serve graven images are shamed, those who boast themselves in idols; all gods bow down before Him.
8; Zion heard and was glad; yea, the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of Your judgments, O YAHWEH.
9; For You, YAHWEH, are exalted above all the earth; You are lifted on high far above all gods.
10; You who love YAHWEH, hate evil. He keeps the souls of His saints; He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.
11; Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
12; Be glad in YAHWEH, O righteous ones; give thanks to the memory of His holiness.
98
1; A Psalm. O sing to YAHWEH a new song, for He has done wondrous things; His right hand and His set-a-part arm has saved for Him.
2; YAHWEH has revealed His Yâshua to the eyes of the nations.; He unveiled His righteousness
3; He has remembered His mercy and His faithfulness to the house of Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen Yâshua our Elohim.
4; Shout joyfully to YAHWEH, all the earth; break out and rejoice and sing praise.
5; Sing praise to YAHWEH with the lyre; with the lyre and the voice of a song.
6; With trumpets and the sound of a horn, shout joyfully before YAHWEH the King.
7; Let the sea roar, and the fullness of it; the world, and those who live in it.
8; Let the rivers clap their hands; let the heights shout for joy together,
9; before YAHWEH; for He comes to judge the earth; with righteousness He shall judge the world, and the peoples in uprightness.
99
1; YAHWEH reigns; let the peoples tremble; He sits between the cherubs; let the earth quake.
2; YAHWEH is great in Zion; and He is high above all the peoples.
3; They shall thank Your great and fearful name; it is set-a-part.
4; The king's strength also loves judgment; You establish uprightness; You worked judgment and righteousness in Jacob.
5; Exalt YAHWEH our Elohim and worship at His footstool; He is set-a-part.
6; Moses and Aaron were among His priests, and Samuel was among those who called on His name; they called to YAHWEH, and He answered them.
7; He spoke to them in the cloudy pillar; they kept His testimonies and the Law that He gave to them.
8; You answered them, O YAHWEH our Elohim; to them You were a El who forgives them, but taking vengeance on their works.
9; Exalt YAHWEH our Elohim and worship at His set-a-part hill; for YAHWEH our Elohim is set-a-part.
100
1; A Psalm of Thanksgiving. Shout joyfully to YAHWEH, all the land.
2; Worship YAHWEH with gladness; come before His face with joyful singing.
3; Know that YAHWEH, He is Elohim; He has made us, and not we ourselves, His people and the sheep of His pasture.
4; Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, into His courts with praise; be thankful to Him; bless His name.
5; For YAHWEH is good; His mercy is everlasting, and His faithfulness to generation and generation.
101
1; A Psalm of David. I will sing of mercy and judgment; to You O YAHWEH, I will sing praise.
2; I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way; O when will You come to me? I will walk in the integrity of my heart in the midst of my house.
3; I will set no worthless thing before my eyes; I have hated the work of those who turn aside; it shall not fasten upon me.
4; A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will not know evil.
5; Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, I will cut him off; I will not endure him who has high eyes and a proud heart.
6; My eyes shall be on the faithful of the land, so that they may dwell with me; he who walks in a perfect way shall serve me.
7; He who works deceit shall not live inside my house; he who speaks lies shall not be established before my eyes.
8; In the mornings I will cut off all the wicked of the land, so that I may cut off all the evil workers from the city of YAHWEH.
102
1; A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is faint and pours out his complaint before YAHWEH.
Hear my prayer, O YAHWEH, and let my cry come to You.
2; Do not hide Your face from me in the day of my trouble; bow down Your ear to me in the day I call; answer me quickly.
3; For my days are finished in smoke, and my bones are burned like a hearth.
4; My heart is stricken and dried like grass, so that I forget to eat my bread.
5; Because of the voice of my sighing, my bones cleave to my flesh.
6; I am like a pelican of the wilderness; I am like an owl of the desert.
7; I watch and am like a sparrow alone on the housetop.
8; My enemies curse me all the day long; my very name has been used as curse against me.
9; For I have eaten ashes like bread, and have mixed my drink with weeping,
10; because of Your anger and Your wrath; for You have lifted me and cast me down.
11; My days are like a shadow stretched out, and I wither like grass.
12; But You, O YAHWEH, shall dwell forever, and Your memory to generation and generation.
13; You shall arise; have mercy on Zion, for the time to pity her, yea, the appointed time has come.
14; For Your servants take pleasure in its stones, and pity its dust.
15; So nations shall reverence the name of YAHWEH, and all the kings of the earth Your glory.
16; When YAHWEH shall build up Zion, He shall appear in His glory.
17; He will turn to the prayer of the destitute, and will not despise their prayer.
18; This shall be written for the last generation, and people to be created shall praise YAHWEH.
19; For He has looked down from the height of His sanctuary; YAHWEH looked from Heaven to the earth,
20; to hear the groaning of the prisoner, to set free the sons of death,
21; to declare the name of YAHWEH in Zion, and His praise in Jerusalem,
22; when the peoples and the kingdoms are gathered together to serve YAHWEH.
23; He diminished my strength in the way; He shortened my days.
24; I said, O my Elohim, do not take me up in the half of my days; Your years are through the generation of generations.
25; Before time You founded the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands.
26; They shall perish, but You shall endure; yea, all of them shall wear out like a garment; You shall change them like clothing, and they shall be changed.
27; But You are He, and Your years shall not be ended.
28; The sons of Your servants shall dwell, and their seed shall be established before You.
103
1; Of David. Bless YAHWEH, O my soul, and all within me, bless His set-a-part name.
2; Bless YAHWEH, O my soul, and forget not all His rewards;
3; He who forgives all your iniquities; who heals all your diseases;
4; who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns you with kindness and tender mercies;
5; who satisfies your desire with good; your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
6; YAHWEH works righteous deeds and judgments for all the oppressed.
7; He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the sons of Israel.
8; YAHWEH is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and of abundant mercy.
9; He will not always strive, nor will He keep His anger forever.
10; He has not done to us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11; For as the heavens are above the earth, so is His mercy mighty over those who reverence Him.
12; As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.
13; As the pity of a father over his sons, so YAHWEH pities those who reverence Him.
14; For He knows how we are made, remembering that we are dust.
15; As for man, his days are as grass; as the flower of the field, so he flourishes.
16; For the wind passes over it, and it is not; and its place never knows it again.
17; But the mercy of YAHWEH is from everlasting, even to everlasting, on those who reverence Him; yea, His righteousness is to the sons of sons;
18; to those who keep His covenant, and to those who remember His instructions, to do them.
19; YAHWEH has prepared His throne in Heaven, and His kingdom rules over all.
20; Bless YAHWEH, O angels of His; mighty in strength; doing His Word; listening to the voice of His Word.
21; Bless YAHWEH, all His hosts, ministers of His, doing His will.
22; Bless YAHWEH, all His works in all the places of His dominion; bless YAHWEH, O my soul.
104
1; Bless YAHWEH, O my soul! O YAHWEH my Elohim, You are very great; You have put on honor and majesty,
2; covering Yourself with light like a cloak, and stretching out the heavens like a curtain;
3; who lays beams in the waters of His upper rooms; setting thick clouds as His chariots; walking on the wings of the wind.
4; He makes His cherubs spirits, His ministers a flaming fire.
5; He founded the earth on its foundations; it shall not be shaken forever and ever.
6; You have covered the deep as with a robe; the waters stood above the mountains.
7; From Your rebuke, they flee; from the sound of Your thunder, they hurry away.
8; They go up the mountains; they go down the valleys to the place which You founded for them.
9; You have set a boundary that they may not pass over; they shall not return to cover the earth.
10; He sends springs into the valleys; they flow between the hills;
11; they give drink to every animal of the field; wild donkeys break their thirst;
12; over them the birds of the heavens dwell; they give voice from between the branches.
13; He waters the hills from His upper rooms; the earth is satisfied from the fruit of Your works.
14; He causes the grass to grow for the livestock and plants for the service of man, to bring food out of the earth.
15; And wine cheers the heart of man; oil makes his face shine, and bread sustains the heart of man.
16; The trees of YAHWEH are satisfied, the cedars of Lebanon that He planted;
17; there where the birds nest; the fir trees are the house of the stork;
18; high hills are for the wild goats; rocks are a refuge for the badgers.
19; He made the moon for seasons; the sun knows its going down.
20; You put darkness, and it is night; in it all the forest animals creep.
21; The young lions roar for prey, and to seek their food from El.
22; The sun rises; they are gathered, and go to their dens to lie down.
23; Man goes out to his work, and to his labor until the evening.
24; O YAHWEH, how many are Your works! You have made all of them in wisdom; the earth is full of Your riches.
25; This is the sea, great and wide on both hands; there are creeping things even without number; living things, small and great.
26; There the ships go; You formed this great sea-animal to play in it.
27; All of them wait for You to give them their food in due season.
28; You give to them; they gather; You open Your hand, and they are filled with good.
29; You hide Your face, and they are troubled; You gather their breath, and they expire and return to their dust.
30; You send out Your Spirit, and they are created; and You renew the face of the earth.
31; The glory of YAHWEH shall be forever; YAHWEH shall rejoice in His works.
32; He looks to the earth, and it trembles; He touches the hills, and they smoke.
33; I will sing to YAHWEH during my life; I will sing praise to my Elohim while I still exist.
34; My meditation on Him shall be sweet; I will be glad in YAHWEH.
35; Let sinners be consumed out of the earth and let the wicked be no more; bless YAHWEH, O my soul; praise YAHWEH!
105
1; O give thanks to YAHWEH; call on His name; make His deeds known among the peoples.
2; Sing to Him; sing praises to Him; tell of all His wonders.
3; Glory in His set-a-part name; let the heart of those who seek YAHWEH rejoice.
4; Seek YAHWEH and His strength; seek His face without ceasing.
5; Remember His wonders that He has done, His miracles, and the judgments of His mouth,
6; O seed of His servant Abraham; O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.
7; He is YAHWEH our Elohim; His judgments are in all the earth;
8; He has remembered His covenant forever; the Word He commanded to a thousand generations;
9; which He cut with Abraham, and His oath to Isaac;
10; and He confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, to Israel for a perpetual covenant;
11; saying, to you I will give the land of Canaan, the portion of your inheritance;
12; when they were a few men of number; very few, and aliens in it.
13; And they went about from nation to nation; from one kingdom to another people.
14; He allowed no man to oppress them; yea, He reproved kings for their sakes;
15; saying, Touch not My anointed; and do My prophets no harm.
16; And He called a famine on the land; He broke the whole staff of bread.
17; He sent a man before them, Joseph, being sold for a slave;
18; they hurt his feet with chains; his soul came into iron;
19; until the time His Word came, the Word of YAHWEH refined him;
20; the king, the ruler of peoples, sent and released him and even set him free;
21; he made him master of his house, and ruler over all he owned;
22; to bind his leaders at his will, and to teach his elders wisdom.
23; Israel also came into Egypt, and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
24; And He increased His people greatly and made them stronger than their enemies.
25; He turned their heart to hate His people, to deal craftily with His servants.
26; He sent His servant Moses and Aaron whom He had chosen.
27; They put things of His signs among them; yea, miracless in the land of Ham.
28; He sent darkness and made it dark; and they did not rebel against His Word.
29; He turned their waters into blood and killed their fish.
30; Their land swarmed with frogs in the rooms of their kings.
31; He spoke, and fly swarms came; gnats in all their borders.
32; He gave hail for their rain, flaming fire in their land.
33; He struck their vines also, and their fig trees; and He broke the trees of their borders.
34; He spoke, and locusts came; and larvae without number;
35; and they ate up all the plants in the land; yea, ate the fruit of their ground.
36; He also struck all the first-born in their land, the first-fruit of all their vigor.
37; And He led them out with silver and gold; and among their tribes, not one was weak in their legs.
38; Egypt was glad when they went out, for their dread had fallen on them.
39; He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.
40; He asked, and He brought quail; and satisfied them with the food from the heavens.
41; He opened the rock, and waters gushed out; they went in the dry places like a river.
42; For He remembered His set-a-part promise and His servant Abraham;
43; and He brought His people out with joy; His chosen ones with gladness.
44; And He gave to them the lands of the nations; and they inherited the labor of the peoples;
45; so that they might observe His statutes and keep His Torah. Praise YAHWEH!
