For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children:

But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.

For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.

He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;

But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.

Then the LORD awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.

And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a perpetual reproach.

We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.

They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.

As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;

Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.

Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.

For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.

All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours.

Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.

For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.

A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:

Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.

O sing unto the LORD a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory.

Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.

Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.

Sing unto the LORD with the harp; with the harp, and the voice of a psalm.
