ASCRIBE unto the LORD, O ye mighty, * ascribe unto the LORD worship and strength.
2Ascribe unto the LORD the honour due unto his Name; * worship the LORD with holy worship.
3The voice of the LORD is upon the waters; * it is the glorious God that maketh the thunder.
4It is the LORD that ruleth the sea; the voice of the LORD is mighty in operation; * the voice of the LORD is a glorious voice.
5The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedar-trees; * yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.
6He maketh them also to skip like a calf; * Lebanon also, and Sirion, like a young unicorn.
7The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire; the voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; * yea, the LORD shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.
8The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to bring forth young, and strippeth bare the forests: * in his temple doth every thing speak of his honour.
9The LORD sitteth above the water-flood, * and the LORD remaineth a King for ever.
10The LORD shall give strength unto his people; * the LORD shall give his people the blessing of peace.
GOD is our hope and strength, * a very present help in trouble.
2Therefore will we not fear, though the earth be moved, * and though the hills be carried into the midst of the sea;
3Though the waters thereof rage and swell, * and though the mountains shake at the tempest of the same.
4There is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God; * the holy place of the tabernacle of the Most Highest.
5God is in the midst of her, therefore shall she not be removed; * God shall help her, and that right early.
6The nations make much ado, and the kingdoms are moved; * but God hath showed his voice, and the earth shall melt away.
7The LORD of hosts is with us; * the God of Jacob is our refuge.
8O come hither, and behold the works of the LORD, * what destruction he hath brought upon the earth.
9He maketh wars to cease in all the world; * he breaketh the bow, and knappeth the spear in sunder, and burneth the chariots in the fire.
10Be still then, and know that I am God: * I will be exalted among the nations, and I will be exalted in the earth.
11The LORD of hosts is with us; * the God of Jacob is our refuge.
IN Judah is God known; * his Name is great in Israel.
2At Salem is his tabernacle, * and his dwelling in Sion.
3There brake he the arrows of the bow, * the shield, the sword, and the battle.
4Thou art glorious in might, * when thou comest from the hills of the robbers.
5The proud are robbed, they have slept their sleep; * and all the men whose hands were mighty have found nothing.
6At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, * both the chariot and horse are fallen.
7Thou, even thou art to be feared; * and who may stand in thy sight when thou art angry?
8Thou didst cause thy judgment to be heard from heaven; * the earth trembled, and was still,
9When God arose to judgment, * and to help all the meek upon earth.
10The fierceness of man shall turn to thy praise; * and the fierceness of them shalt thou refrain.
11Promise unto the LORD your God, and keep it, all ye that are round about him; * bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.
12He shall refrain the spirit of princes, * and is wonderful among the kings of the earth.
LORD, thou art become gracious unto thy land; * thou hast turned away the captivity of Jacob.
2Thou hast forgiven the offence of thy people, * and covered all their sins.
3Thou hast taken away all thy displeasure, * and turned thyself from thy wrathful indignation.
4Turn us then, O God our Saviour, * and let thine anger cease from us.
5Wilt thou be displeased at us for ever? * and wilt thou stretch out thy wrath from one generation to another?
6Wilt thou not turn again, and quicken us, * that thy people may rejoice in thee?
7Show us thy mercy, O LORD, * and grant us thy salvation.
8I will hearken what the LORD God will say; * for he shall speak peace unto his people, and to his saints, that they turn not again unto foolishness.
9For his salvation is nigh them that fear him; * that glory may dwell in our land.
10Mercy and truth are met together: * righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
11Truth shall flourish out of the earth, * and righteousness hath looked down from heaven.
12Yea, the LORD shall show loving-kindness; * and our land shall give her increase.
13Righteousness shall go before him, * and shall direct his going in the way.
O sing unto the LORD a new song; * for he hath done marvellous things.
2With his own right hand, and with his holy arm, * hath he gotten himself the victory.
3The LORD declared his salvation; * his righteousness hath he openly showed in the sight of the heathen.
4He hath remembered his mercy and truth toward the house of Israel; * and all the ends of the world have seen the salvation of our God.
5Show yourselves joyful unto the LORD, all ye lands; * sing, rejoice, and give thanks.
6Praise the LORD upon the harp; * sing to the harp with a psalm of thanksgiving.
7With trumpets also and shawms, * O show yourselves joyful before the LORD, the King.
8Let the sea make a noise, and all that therein is; * the round world, and they that dwell therein.
9Let the floods clap their hands, and let the hills be joyful together before the LORD; * for he is come to judge the earth.
10With righteousness shall he judge the world, * and the peoples with equity.
O be joyful in the LORD, all ye lands: * serve the LORD with gladness, and come before his presence with a song.
2Be ye sure that the LORD he is God; it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; * we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
3O go your way into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise; * be thankful unto him, and speak good of his Name.
4For the LORD is gracious, his mercy is everlasting; * and his truth endureth from generation to generation.
IF the LORD himself had not been on our side, now may Israel say; * if the LORD himself had not been on our side, when men rose up against us;
2They had swallowed us up alive; * when they were so wrathfully displeased at us.
3Yea, the waters had drowned us, * and the stream had gone over our soul.
4The deep waters of the proud * had gone even over our soul.
5But praised be the LORD, * who hath not given us over for a prey unto their teeth.
6Our soul is escaped even as a bird out of the snare of the fowler; * the snare is broken, and we are delivered.
7Our help standeth in the Name of the LORD, * who hath made heaven and earth.
THEY that put their trust in the LORD shall be even as the mount Sion, * which may not be removed, but standeth fast for ever.
2The hills stand about Jerusalem; * even so standeth the LORD round about his people, from this time forth for evermore.
3For the sceptre of the ungodly shall not abide upon the lot of the righteous; * lest the righteous put their hand unto wickedness.
4Do well, O LORD, * unto those that are good and true of heart.
5As for such as turn back unto their own wickedness, * the LORD shall lead them forth with the evil doers; but peace shall be upon Israel.
WHEN the LORD turned again the captivity of Sion, * then were we like unto them that dream.
2Then was our mouth filled with laughter, * and our tongue with joy.
3Then said they among the heathen, * The LORD hath done great things for them.
4Yea, the LORD hath done great things for us already; * whereof we rejoice.
5Turn our captivity, O LORD, * as the rivers in the south.
6They that sow in tears * shall reap in joy.
7He that now goeth on his way weeping, and beareth forth good seed, * shall doubtless come again with joy, and bring his sheaves with him.
