Tehillim Psalm 22

1 For the Leader; upon Aijeleth ha-Shahar. A Psalm of David.
2 My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me, and art far from my help at the words of my cry?
3 O my God, I call by day, but Thou answerest not; and at night, and there is no surcease for me.
4 Yet Thou art holy, O Thou that art enthroned upon the praises of Israel.
5 In Thee did our fathers trust; they trusted, and Thou didst deliver them.
6 Unto Thee they cried, and escaped; in Thee did they trust, and were not ashamed.
7 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
8 All they that see me laugh me to scorn; they shoot out the lip, they shake the head:
9 'Let him commit himself unto the LORD! let Him rescue him; let Him deliver him, seeing He delighteth in him.'
10 For Thou art He that took me out of the womb; Thou madest me trust when I was upon my mother's breasts.
11 Upon Thee I have been cast from my birth; Thou art my God from my mother's womb.
12 Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.
13 Many bulls have encompassed me; strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
14 They open wide their mouth against me, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
15 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint;
my heart is become like wax; it is melted in mine inmost parts.
16 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my throat; and Thou layest me in the dust of death.
17 For dogs have encompassed me; a company of evil-doers have inclosed me; like a lion, they are at my hands and my feet.
18 I may count all my bones; they look and gloat over me.
19 They part my garments among them, and for my vesture do they cast lots.
20 But Thou, O LORD, be not far off; O Thou my strength, hasten to help me.
21 Deliver my soul from the sword; mine only one from the power of the dog.
22 Save me from the lion's mouth; yea, from the horns of the wild-oxen do Thou answer me.
23 I will declare Thy name unto my brethren; in the midst of the congregation will I praise Thee.
24 'Ye that fear the LORD, praise Him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify Him;
and stand in awe of Him, all ye the seed of Israel.
25 For He hath not despised nor abhorred the lowliness of the poor; neither hath He hid His face from him;
but when he cried unto Him, He heard.'
26 From Thee cometh my praise in the great congregation; I will pay my vows before them that fear Him.
27 Let the humble eat and be satisfied; let them praise the LORD that seek after Him;
may your heart be quickened for ever!
28 All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn unto the LORD;
and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before Thee.
29 For the kingdom is the LORD'S; and He is the ruler over the nations.
30 All the fat ones of the earth shall eat and worship; all they that go down to the dust shall kneel before Him,
even he that cannot keep his soul alive.
31 A seed shall serve him; it shall be told of the Lord unto the next generation.
32 They shall come and shall declare His righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that He hath done it.

Tehillim Psalm 44

1 For the Leader; [a Psalm] of the sons of Korah. Maschil.
2 O God, we have heard with our ears, our fathers have told us;
a work Thou didst in their days, in the days of old.
3 Thou with Thy hand didst drive out the nations, and didst plant them in;
Thou didst break the peoples, and didst spread them abroad.
4 For not by their own sword did they get the land in possession, neither did their own arm save them;
but Thy right hand, and Thine arm, and the light of Thy countenance, because Thou wast favourable unto them.
5 Thou art my King, O God; command the salvation of Jacob.
6 Through Thee do we push down our adversaries; through Thy name do we tread them under that rise up against us.
7 For I trust not in my bow, neither can my sword save me.
8 But Thou hast saved us from our adversaries, and hast put them to shame that hate us.
9 In God have we gloried all the day, and we will give thanks unto Thy name for ever. Selah
10 Yet Thou hast cast off, and brought us to confusion; and goest not forth with our hosts.
11 Thou makest us to turn back from the adversary; and they that hate us spoil at their will.
12 Thou hast given us like sheep to be eaten; and hast scattered us among the nations.
13 Thou sellest Thy people for small gain, and hast not set their prices high.
14 Thou makest us a taunt to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.
15 Thou makest us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.
16 All the day is my confusion before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,
17 For the voice of him that taunteth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and the revengeful.
18 All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten Thee, neither have we been false to Thy covenant.
19 Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from Thy path;
20 Though Thou hast crushed us into a place of jackals, and covered us with the shadow of death.
21 If we had forgotten the name of our God, or spread forth our hands to a strange god;
22 Would not God search this out? For He knoweth the secrets of the heart.
23 Nay, but for Thy sake are we killed all the day; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
24 Awake, why sleepest Thou, O Lord? Arouse Thyself, cast not off for ever.
25 Wherefore hidest Thou Thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression?
26 For our soul is bowed down to the dust; our belly cleaveth unto the earth.
27 Arise for our help, and redeem us for Thy mercy's sake.

Tehillim Psalm 79

1 A Psalm of Asaph.
O God, the heathen are come into Thine inheritance; they have defiled Thy holy temple;
they have made Jerusalem into heaps.
2 They have given the dead bodies of Thy servants to be food unto the fowls of the heaven,
the flesh of Thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.
3 They have shed their blood like water round about Jerusalem, with none to bury them.
4 We are become a taunt to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.
5 How long, O LORD, wilt Thou be angry for ever? How long will Thy jealousy burn like fire?
6 Pour out Thy wrath upon the nations that know Thee not,
and upon the kingdoms that call not upon Thy name.
7 For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his habitation.
8 Remember not against us the iniquities of our forefathers;
let Thy compassions speedily come to meet us; for we are brought very low.
9 Help us, O God of our salvation, for the sake of the glory of Thy name;
and deliver us, and forgive our sins, for Thy name's sake.
10 Wherefore should the nations say: 'Where is their God?'
Let the avenging of Thy servants' blood that is shed be made known among the nations in our sight.
11 Let the groaning of the prisoner come before Thee; according to the greatness of Thy power set free those that are appointed to death;
12 And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach,
wherewith they have reproached Thee, O Lord.
13 So we that are Thy people and the flock of Thy pasture will give Thee thanks for ever;
we will tell of Thy praise to all generations.

Tehillim Psalm 84

1 For the Leader; upon the Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.
2 How lovely are Thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!
3 My soul yearneth, yea, even pineth for the courts of the LORD;
my heart and my flesh sing for joy unto the living God.
4 Yea, the sparrow hath found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young;
Thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God--.
5 Happy are they that dwell in Thy house, they are ever praising Thee. Selah
6 Happy is the man whose strength is in Thee; in whose heart are the highways.
7 Passing through the valley of Baca they make it a place of springs;
yea, the early rain clotheth it with blessings.
8 They go from strength to strength, every one of them appeareth before God in Zion.
9 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer;
give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah
10 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of Thine anointed.
11 For a day in Thy courts is better than a thousand;
I had rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
12 For the LORD God is a sun and a shield;
the LORD giveth grace and glory;
no good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly.
13 O LORD of hosts, happy is the man that trusteth in Thee.

Tehillim Psalm 106

1 Hallelujah.
O give thanks unto the LORD; for He is good; for His mercy endureth for ever.
2 Who can express the mighty acts of the LORD, or make all His praise to be heard?
3 Happy are they that keep justice, that do righteousness at all times.
4 Remember me, O LORD, when Thou favourest Thy people; O think of me at Thy salvation;
5 That I may behold the prosperity of Thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of Thy nation,
that I may glory with Thine inheritance.
6 We have sinned with our fathers, we have done iniquitously, we have dealt wickedly.
7 Our fathers in Egypt gave no heed unto Thy wonders;
they remembered not the multitude of Thy mercies;
but were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.
8 Nevertheless He saved them for His name's sake, that He might make His mighty power to be known.
9 And He rebuked the Red Sea, and it was dried up; and He led them through the depths, as through a wilderness.
10 And He saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
11 And the waters covered their adversaries; there was not one of them left.
12 Then believed they His words; they sang His praise.
13 They soon forgot His works; they waited not for His counsel;
14 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tried God in the desert.
15 And He gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.
16 They were jealous also of Moses in the camp, and of Aaron the holy one of the LORD.
17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.
18 And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.
19 They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped a molten image.
20 Thus they exchanged their glory for the likeness of an ox that eateth grass.
21 They forgot God their saviour, who had done great things in Egypt;
22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham, terrible things by the Red Sea.
23 Therefore He said that He would destroy them,
had not Moses His chosen stood before Him in the breach,
to turn back His wrath, lest He should destroy them.
24 Moreover, they scorned the desirable land, they believed not His word;
25 And they murmured in their tents, they hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.
26 Therefore He swore concerning them, that He would overthrow them in the wilderness;
27 And that He would cast out their seed among the nations, and scatter them in the lands.
28 They joined themselves also unto Baal of Peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
29 Thus they provoked Him with their doings, and the plague broke in upon them.
30 Then stood up Phinehas, and wrought judgment, and so the plague was stayed.
31 And that was counted unto him for righteousness, unto all generations for ever.
32 They angered Him also at the waters of Meribah, and it went ill with Moses because of them;
33 For they embittered his spirit, and he spoke rashly with his lips.
34 They did not destroy the peoples, as the LORD commanded them;
35 But mingled themselves with the nations, and learned their works;
36 And they served their idols, which became a snare unto them;
37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto demons,
38 And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan;
and the land was polluted with blood.
39 Thus were they defiled with their works, and went astray in their doings.
40 Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against His people, and He abhorred His inheritance.
41 And He gave them into the hand of the nations; and they that hated them ruled over them.
42 Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were subdued under their hand.
43 Many times did He deliver them;
but they were rebellious in their counsel, and sank low through their iniquity.
44 Nevertheless He looked upon their distress, when He heard their cry;
45 And He remembered for them His covenant, and repented according to the multitude of His mercies.
46 He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captive.
47 Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the nations,
that we may give thanks unto Thy holy name, that we may triumph in Thy praise.
48 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting,
and let all the people say: 'Amen.'
Hallelujah.

Tehillim Psalm 107

1 'O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever.'
2 So let the redeemed of the LORD say, whom He hath redeemed from the hand of the adversary;
3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the sea.
4 They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way; they found no city of habitation.
5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
6 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and He delivered them out of their distresses.
7 And He led them by a straight way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
8 Let them give thanks unto the LORD for His mercy, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!
9 For He hath satisfied the longing soul, and the hungry soul He hath filled with good.
10 Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron--
11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the Most High.
12 Therefore He humbled their heart with travail, they stumbled, and there was none to help--
13 They cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and He saved them out of their distresses.
14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke their bands in sunder.
15 Let them give thanks unto the LORD for His mercy, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!
16 For He hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.
17 Crazed because of the way of their transgression, and afflicted because of their iniquities--
18 Their soul abhorred all manner of food, and they drew near unto the gates of death--
19 They cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and He saved them out of their distresses;
20 He sent His word, and healed them, and delivered them from their graves.
21 Let them give thanks unto the LORD for His mercy, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!
22 And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare His works with singing.
23 They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters--
24 These saw the works of the LORD, and His wonders in the deep;
25 For He commanded, and raised the stormy wind, which lifted up the waves thereof;
26 They mounted up to the heaven, they went down to the deeps; their soul melted away because of trouble;
27 They reeled to and fro, and staggered like a drunken man, and all their wisdom was swallowed up--
28 They cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and He brought them out of their distresses.
29 He made the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof were still.
30 Then were they glad because they were quiet, and He led them unto their desired haven.
31 Let them give thanks unto the LORD for His mercy, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!
32 Let them exalt Him also in the assembly of the people, and praise Him in the seat of the elders.
33 He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and watersprings into a thirsty ground;
34 A fruitful land into a salt waste, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
35 He turneth a wilderness into a pool of water, and a dry land into watersprings.
36 And there He maketh the hungry to dwell, and they establish a city of habitation;
37 And sow fields, and plant vineyards, which yield fruits of increase.
38 He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly, and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
39 Again, they are minished and dwindle away through oppression of evil and sorrow.
40 He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the waste, where there is no way.
41 Yet setteth He the needy on high from affliction, and maketh his families like a flock.
42 The upright see it, and are glad; and all iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
43 Whoso is wise, let him observe these things, and let them consider the mercies of the LORD.

Tehillim Psalm 122

1 A Song of Ascents; of David.
I rejoiced when they said unto me: 'Let us go unto the house of the LORD.'
2 Our feet are standing within thy gates, O Jerusalem;
3 Jerusalem, that art builded as a city that is compact together;
4 Whither the tribes went up, even the tribes of the LORD, as a testimony unto Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.
5 For there were set thrones for judgment, the thrones of the house of David.
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem; may they prosper that love thee.
7 Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.
8 For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say: 'Peace be within thee.'
9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.
