2:5 Then he angrily speaks to them
and terrifies them in his rage, saying,
3:4 To the Lord I cried out,
and he answered me from his holy hill. (Selah)
7:17 I will thank the Lord for his justice;
I will sing praises to the sovereign Lord!
10:16 The Lord rules forever!
The nations are driven out of his land.
11:7 Certainly the Lord is just;
he rewards godly deeds;
the upright will experience his favor.
15:3 He does not slander,
or do harm to others,
or insult his neighbor.
18:9 He made the sky sink as he descended;
a thick cloud was under his feet.
18:14 He shot his arrows and scattered them,
many lightning bolts and routed them.
19:2 Day after day it speaks out;
night after night it reveals his greatness.
20:2 May he send you help from his temple;
from Zion may he give you support!
21:3 For you bring him rich blessings;
you place a golden crown on his head.
25:9 May he show the humble what is right!
May he teach the humble his way!
25:10 The Lord always proves faithful and reliable
to those who follow the demands of his covenant.
25:12 The Lord shows his faithful followers
the way they should live.
33:11 The Lord’s decisions stand forever;
his plans abide throughout the ages.
33:21 For our hearts rejoice in him,
for we trust in his holy name.
34:3 Magnify the Lord with me!
Let’s praise his name together!
34:6 This oppressed man cried out and the Lord heard;
he saved him from all his troubles.
34:20 He protects all his bones;
not one of them is broken.
34:22 The Lord rescues his servants;
all who take shelter in him escape punishment.
35:9 Then I will rejoice in the Lord
and be happy because of his deliverance.
36:2 for he is too proud
to recognize and give up his sin.
37:24 Even if he trips, he will not fall headlong,
for the Lord holds his hand.
37:26 All day long he shows compassion and lends to others,
and his children are blessed.
38:14 I am like a man who cannot hear
and is incapable of arguing his defense.
47:8 God reigns over the nations!
God sits on his holy throne!
49:7 Certainly a man cannot rescue his brother;
he cannot pay God an adequate ransom price
49:16 Do not be afraid when a man becomes rich
and his wealth multiplies!
49:19 But he will join his ancestors;
they will never again see the light of day.
61:6 Give the king long life!
Make his lifetime span several generations!
66:2 Sing praises about the majesty of his reputation!
Give him the honor he deserves!
66:5 Come and witness God’s exploits!
His acts on behalf of people are awesome!
66:20 God deserves praise,
for he did not reject my prayer
or abandon his love for me!
69:33 For the Lord listens to the needy;
he does not despise his captive people.
72:9 Before him the coastlands will bow down,
and his enemies will lick the dust.
77:7 I asked, “Will the Lord reject me forever?
Will he never again show me his favor?
78:10 They did not keep their covenant with God,
and they refused to obey his law.
78:34 When he struck them down, they sought his favor;
they turned back and longed for God.
78:37 They were not really committed to him,
and they were unfaithful to his covenant.
78:56 Yet they challenged and defied the sovereign God,
and did not obey his commands.
78:66 He drove his enemies back;
he made them a permanent target for insults.
78:70 He chose David, his servant,
and took him from the sheepfolds.
85:12 Yes, the Lord will bestow his good blessings,
and our land will yield its crops.
89:23 I will crush his enemies before him;
I will strike down those who hate him.
89:37 it will remain stable, like the moon,
his throne will endure like the skies.” (Selah)
89:39 You have repudiated your covenant with your servant;
you have thrown his crown to the ground.
89:43 You turn back his sword from the adversary,
and have not sustained him in battle.
89:45 You have cut short his youth,
and have covered him with shame. (Selah)
89:51 Your enemies, O Lord, hurl insults;
they insult your chosen king as they dog his footsteps.
91:11 For he will order his angels
to protect you in all you do.
95:4 The depths of the earth are in his hand,
and the mountain peaks belong to him.
96:2 Sing to the Lord! Praise his name!
Announce every day how he delivers!
96:6 Majestic splendor emanates from him;
his sanctuary is firmly established and beautiful.
96:8 Ascribe to the Lord the splendor he deserves!
Bring an offering and enter his courts!
97:2 Dark clouds surround him;
equity and justice are the foundation of his throne.
97:3 Fire goes before him;
on every side it burns up his enemies.
97:4 His lightning bolts light up the world;
the earth sees and trembles.
97:12 You godly ones, rejoice in the Lord!
Give thanks to his holy name.
99:5 Praise the Lord our God!
Worship before his footstool!
He is holy!
100:2 Worship the Lord with joy!
Enter his presence with joyful singing!
100:5 For the Lord is good.
His loyal love endures,
and he is faithful through all generations.
103:2 Praise the Lord, O my soul!
Do not forget all his kind deeds!
103:4 who delivers your life from the Pit,
who crowns you with his loyal love and compassion,
105:2 Sing to him!
Make music to him!
Tell about all his miraculous deeds!
105:3 Boast about his holy name!
Let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!
105:4 Seek the Lord and the strength he gives!
Seek his presence continually!
105:5 Recall the miraculous deeds he performed,
his mighty acts and the judgments he decreed,
105:8 He always remembers his covenantal decree,
the promise he made to a thousand generations –
105:19 until the time when his prediction came true.
The Lord’s word proved him right.
105:20 The king authorized his release;
the ruler of nations set him free.
105:24 The Lord made his people very fruitful,
and made them more numerous than their enemies.
105:26 He sent his servant Moses,
and Aaron, whom he had chosen.
105:42 Yes, he remembered the sacred promise
he made to Abraham his servant.
106:2 Who can adequately recount the Lord’s mighty acts,
or relate all his praiseworthy deeds?
106:13 They quickly forgot what he had done;
they did not wait for his instructions.
106:24 They rejected the fruitful land;
they did not believe his promise.
106:40 So the Lord was angry with his people
and despised the people who belong to him.
Book 5
(Psalms 107-150)
107:1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,
and his loyal love endures!
107:24 They witnessed the acts of the Lord,
his amazing feats on the deep water.
107:42 When the godly see this, they rejoice,
and every sinner shuts his mouth.
109:6 Appoint an evil man to testify against him!
May an accuser stand at his right side!
109:10 May his children roam around begging,
asking for handouts as they leave their ruined home!
109:11 May the creditor seize all he owns!
May strangers loot his property!
109:12 May no one show him kindness!
May no one have compassion on his fatherless children!
110:7 From the stream along the road he drinks;
then he lifts up his head.
112:2 His descendants will be powerful on the earth;
the godly will be blessed.
112:5 It goes well for the one who generously lends money,
and conducts his business honestly.
112:9 He generously gives to the needy;
his integrity endures.
He will be vindicated and honored.
113:4 The Lord is exalted over all the nations;
his splendor reaches beyond the sky.
113:8 that he might seat him with princes,
with the princes of his people.
116:12 How can I repay the Lord
for all his acts of kindness to me?
118:1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good
and his loyal love endures!
118:3 Let the family of Aaron say,
“Yes, his loyal love endures!”
118:4 Let the loyal followers of the Lord say,
“Yes, his loyal love endures!”
118:29 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good
and his loyal love endures!
119:2 How blessed are those who observe his rules,
and seek him with all their heart,
125:2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
so the Lord surrounds his people,
now and forevermore.
A song of ascents.
132:1 O Lord, for David’s sake remember
all his strenuous effort,
132:13 Certainly the Lord has chosen Zion;
he decided to make it his home.
135:4 Indeed, the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself,
Israel to be his special possession.
135:12 He gave their land as an inheritance,
as an inheritance to Israel his people.
136:1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,
for his loyal love endures.
136:2 Give thanks to the God of gods,
for his loyal love endures.
136:3 Give thanks to the Lord of lords,
for his loyal love endures,
136:4 to the one who performs magnificent, amazing deeds all by himself,
for his loyal love endures,
136:5 to the one who used wisdom to make the heavens,
for his loyal love endures,
136:6 to the one who spread out the earth over the water,
for his loyal love endures,
136:7 to the one who made the great lights,
for his loyal love endures,
136:8 the sun to rule by day,
for his loyal love endures,
136:9 the moon and stars to rule by night,
for his loyal love endures,
136:10 to the one who struck down the firstborn of Egypt,
for his loyal love endures,
136:11 and led Israel out from their midst,
for his loyal love endures,
136:12 with a strong hand and an outstretched arm,
for his loyal love endures,
136:13 to the one who divided the Red Sea in two,
for his loyal love endures,
136:14 and led Israel through its midst,
for his loyal love endures,
136:17 to the one who struck down great kings,
for his loyal love endures,
136:21 and gave their land as an inheritance,
for his loyal love endures,
136:23 to the one who remembered us when we were down,
for his loyal love endures,
136:24 and snatched us away from our enemies,
for his loyal love endures,
136:25 to the one who gives food to all living things,
for his loyal love endures.
136:26 Give thanks to the God of heaven,
for his loyal love endures!
144:10 the one who delivers kings,
and rescued David his servant from a deadly sword.
145:3 The Lord is great and certainly worthy of praise!
No one can fathom his greatness!
145:17 The Lord is just in all his actions,
and exhibits love in all he does.
145:21 My mouth will praise the Lord.
Let all who live praise his holy name forever!
147:5 Our Lord is great and has awesome power;
there is no limit to his wisdom.
147:17 He throws his hailstones like crumbs.
Who can withstand the cold wind he sends?
148:8 O fire and hail, snow and clouds,
O stormy wind that carries out his orders,
149:4 For the Lord takes delight in his people;
he exalts the oppressed by delivering them.
