Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now say,

many times they have afflicted me from my youth up, yet they have not prevailed against me.

The plowers plowed on my back. They made their furrows long.

Yahweh is righteous. He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.

:

Let them be disappointed and turned backward, all those who hate Zion.

:

Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up;

:

with which the reaper doesn’t fill his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.

:

Neither do those who go by say, “The blessing of Yahweh be on you. We bless you in the name of Yahweh.”

:

A Song of Ascents.

:

Out of the depths I have cried to you, Yahweh.

Yahweh, my heart isn’t haughty, nor my eyes lofty; nor do I concern myself with great matters, or things too wonderful for me.

Israel, hope in Yahweh, from this time forth and forevermore.

:

A Song of Ascents.

Yahweh, remember David and all his affliction,

:

how he swore to Yahweh, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

:

“Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, nor go up into my bed;

:

I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids;

:

until I find out a place for Yahweh, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

:

Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of Jaar:

:

“We will go into his dwelling place. We will worship at his footstool.

:

Arise, Yahweh, into your resting place; you, and the ark of your strength.

:

Let your priest be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints shout for joy!”

:

For your servant David’s sake, don’t turn away the face of your anointed one.

:

Yahweh has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it: “I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.

:

If your children will keep my covenant, my testimony that I will teach them, their children also will sit on your throne forevermore.”

:

For Yahweh has chosen Zion. He has desired it for his habitation.

:

“This is my resting place forever. Here I will live, for I have desired it.

:

I will abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread.

:

Her priests I will also clothe with salvation. Her saints will shout aloud for joy.

:

There I will make the horn of David to bud. I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.

:

I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on himself, his crown will be resplendent.”

A Song of Ascents. By David.

:

See how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to live together in unity!

:

It is like the precious oil on the head, that ran down on the beard, even Aaron’s beard; that came down on the edge of his robes;

:

like the dew of Hermon, that comes down on the hills of Zion: for there Yahweh gives the blessing, even life forevermore. A Song of Ascents.

:

Look! Praise Yahweh, all you servants of Yahweh, who stand by night in Yahweh’s house!

:

Lift up your hands in the sanctuary. Praise Yahweh!

:

May Yahweh bless you from Zion; even he who made heaven and earth.

:

Praise Yah! Praise the name of Yahweh! Praise him, you servants of Yahweh,

:

you who stand in the house of Yahweh, in the courts of our God’s house.

:

Praise Yah, for Yahweh is good. Sing praises to his name, for that is pleasant.

:

For Yah has chosen Jacob for himself; Israel for his own possession.

:

For I know that Yahweh is great, that our Lord is above all gods.

:

Whatever Yahweh pleased, that he has done, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps;

:

who causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth; who makes lightnings with the rain; who brings forth the wind out of his treasuries;

:

Who struck the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and animal;

:

Who sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his servants;

:

who struck many nations, and killed mighty kings,

:

Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan,

:

and gave their land for a heritage, a heritage to Israel, his people.

:

Your name, Yahweh, endures forever; your renown, Yahweh, throughout all generations.

:

For Yahweh will judge his people, and have compassion on his servants.

:

The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.

:

They have mouths, but they can’t speak. They have eyes, but they can’t see.

:

They have ears, but they can’t hear; neither is there any breath in their mouths.

:

Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.

:

House of Israel, praise Yahweh! House of Aaron, praise Yahweh!

:

House of Levi, praise Yahweh! You who fear Yahweh, praise Yahweh!

:

Blessed be Yahweh from Zion, Who dwells at Jerusalem. Praise Yah!

And made Israel to pass through its midst; for his loving kindness endures forever;

:

But overthrew Pharaoh and his army in the Red Sea; for his loving kindness endures forever:

To him who led his people through the wilderness; for his loving kindness endures forever:

:

Og king of Bashan; for his loving kindness endures forever;

:

And gave their land as an inheritance; for his loving kindness endures forever;

:

Even a heritage to Israel his servant; for his loving kindness endures forever:

:

Who remembered us in our low estate; for his loving kindness endures forever;

:

And has delivered us from our adversaries; for his loving kindness endures forever:

:

Who gives food to every creature; for his loving kindness endures forever.

:

Oh give thanks to the God of heaven; for his loving kindness endures forever.

:

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down. Yes, we wept, when we remembered Zion.

:

On the willows in its midst, we hung up our harps.

:

For there, those who led us captive asked us for songs. Those who tormented us demanded songs of joy: “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”

:

How can we sing Yahweh’s song in a foreign land?
