17
Unless Yahweh had been my help, my soul would have soon lived in silence.
18
When I said, "My foot is slipping!" Your loving kindness, Yahweh, held me up.
19
In the multitude of my thoughts within me, your comforts delight my soul.
20
Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with you, which brings about mischief by statute?
21
They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
22
But Yahweh has been my high tower, my God, the rock of my refuge.
23
He has brought on them their own iniquity, and will cut them off in their own wickedness. Yahweh, our God, will cut them off.
1
Oh come, let's sing to Yahweh. Let's shout aloud to the rock of our salvation!
2
Let's come before his presence with thanksgiving. Let's extol him with songs!
3
For Yahweh is a great God, a great King above all gods.
4
In his hand are the deep places of the earth. The heights of the mountains are also his.
5
The sea is his, and he made it. His hands formed the dry land.
6
Oh come, let's worship and bow down. Let's kneel before Yahweh, our Maker,
7
for he is our God. We are the people of his pasture, and the sheep in his care. Today, oh that you would hear his voice!
8
Don't harden your heart, as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the wilderness,
9
when your fathers tempted me, tested me, and saw my work.
10
Forty long years I was grieved with that generation, and said, "It is a people that errs in their heart. They have not known my ways."
11
Therefore I swore in my wrath, "They won't enter into my rest."
1
Sing to Yahweh a new song! Sing to Yahweh, all the earth.
2
Sing to Yahweh! Bless his name! Proclaim his salvation from day to day!
3
Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples.
4
For great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised! He is to be feared above all gods.
5
For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but Yahweh made the heavens.
6
Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
7
Ascribe to Yahweh, you families of nations, ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength.
8
Ascribe to Yahweh the glory due to his name. Bring an offering, and come into his courts.
9
Worship Yahweh in holy array. Tremble before him, all the earth.
10
Say among the nations, "Yahweh reigns." The world is also established. It can't be moved. He will judge the peoples with equity.
11
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice. Let the sea roar, and its fullness!
12
Let the field and all that is in it exult! Then all the trees of the woods shall sing for joy
13
before Yahweh; for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, the peoples with his truth.
1
Yahweh reigns! Let the earth rejoice! Let the multitude of islands be glad!
2
Clouds and darkness are around him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
3
A fire goes before him, and burns up his adversaries on every side.
4
His lightning lights up the world. The earth sees, and trembles.
5
The mountains melt like wax at the presence of Yahweh, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6
The heavens declare his righteousness. All the peoples have seen his glory.
7
Let all them be shamed who serve engraved images, who boast in their idols. Worship him, all you gods!
8
Zion heard and was glad. The daughters of Judah rejoiced, because of your judgments, Yahweh.
9
For you, Yahweh, are most high above all the earth. You are exalted far above all gods.
10
You who love Yahweh, hate evil. He preserves 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, you righteous people! Give thanks to his holy Name. A Psalm.
