(1) He who lives under the shelter of the Most High dwells in the shadow of the Almighty. (2) I will say to the L-rd, My refuge and my strength is my G-d, in whom I trust, (3) For he will save you from the snare of the fowler, from the pestilence of destruction. (4) With his wings he will cover you, and under his wings you will find refuge, shield, and armor – his faithfulness. (5) Thou shalt not be afraid of the terror of the night, of the arrow that flies by day, (6) Pestilence that walks in the darkness, of the plague that snatches away at noon. (7) A thousand will fall beside you, and ten thousand at your right hand, and it will not reach you. (8) Only with your eyes will you see, and you will see the retribution of the wicked, (9) For you, (said), "O Lord, are my bulwark, you have made the Most High your abode. (10) No calamity will befall you, and no calamity will come near your tent, (11) For he will command his angels about you to keep you in all your ways. (12) In their arms they will carry you so that your foot will not trip over a stone. (13) If you tread on the lion and the adder, you will trample on the lion and the dragon. (14) "For he has loved me, and I will deliver him, I will strengthen him, for he has come to know my name. (15) He will call to me, and I will answer him, I am with him in distress, I will save him and glorify him. (16) I will satisfy him with long life, and I will let him see my salvation."

(1) Psalm. Hymn for the Sabbath Day. (2) It is good to praise the L-rd and sing to Thy name, O Most High, (3) To proclaim Thy mercy in the morning and Thy faithfulness by night, (4) On the ten-stringed and on the harp, with a solemn song on the kinnor, (5) Because Thou hast made me glad, O L-rd, by Thy work, by the works of Thy hands I rejoice. (6) How majestic are Thy works, O L-rd, very deep are Thy thoughts. (7) An ignorant man does not know, and a fool does not understand this. (8) When the wicked grow like grass, and all those who do iniquity prosper, (this is in order to be cut off forever). (9) And you, O L-rd, are exalted forever. (10) For these are your enemies, O LORD, for behold, your enemies will perish, and all those who do iniquity will be scattered. (11) And you have lifted up my horn like a unicorn, and I am anointed with fresh oil." (12) And my eye has seen how my enemies have fallen, and my ears have heard of the evildoers who rise up against me. (13) A righteous man will blossom like a palm tree, like a cedar in Levanon, he will be exalted. (14) Planted in the house of the L-rd, they will blossom in the courts of our G-d. (15) And in old age they will grow, they will become fat and succulent, (16) To proclaim that the LORD, my strength, is just, and there is no injustice in him.

93

(1) The L-rd is the King, He is clothed with majesty, the L-rd is clothed with power, girded with power, and (therefore) the universe is established, it will not be shaken. (2) Thy throne was established from of old, Thou art from time immemorial. (3) The rivers have lifted up, O L-rd, the rivers have lifted up their voices, the rivers are raising their noise. (4) Stronger than the sound of many waters, the mighty waves of the sea, the LORD is on high. (5) Your testimonies are perfectly true, holiness befits your house, O L-rd, forever.

94

(1) G-d of vengeance, L-rd, G-d of vengeance, appear! (2) Arise, Judge of the earth, and render justice to the arrogant! (3) How long shall the wicked, O L-rd, how long shall the wicked rejoice? (4) All those who do iniquity talk and speak arrogantly, boast; (5) Thy people, O L-rd, are oppressed, and thy inheritance is tormented, (6) Widows and strangers are slain, and fatherless are slain. (7) And they say, "The LORD does not see and does not understand G-d Jacob." 8 Understand, then, you ignorant of the people! And you, fools, when will you come to your senses? (9) Does not he who made the ear hear, or he who created the eye does not see? (10) He who punishes the nations, for He who teaches man knowledge will punish you. (11) The Lord knows a man's thoughts, (knows) that they are vain. (12) Happy is the man whom You, O L-rd, punish and teach Your Torah, (13) To give him rest in the days of trouble, until a pit is dug for the wicked. (14) For the LORD will not forsake his people, nor will he leave his inheritance, (15) For judgment will return to justice, and after it will all the uprighteous. (16) Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? Who will stand up for me against those who do iniquity? (17) If it had not been for the L-rd to help me, my soul would soon have settled in the grave. (18) If I said, "My foot is shaken," Your mercy, O L-rd, sustained me. (19) When I have many anxieties, your comforts encourage my soul. (20) Will the one who sits on the throne of wickedness, who makes iniquity a law (to himself), become your friend? (21) In crowds they gather against the soul of the righteous and accuse the blood of the innocent. (22) But the LORD was my bulwark, and my G-d was the rock of my protection. (23) And he recompensed them for their iniquity, and for their wickedness he destroyed them, the LORD our G-d destroyed them.

(1) Come, let us sing to the LORD, shout joyfully to the rock of our salvation! (2) Let us stand before Him with thanksgiving, let us cry out to Him with songs, (3) For G-d is the great L-rd and the great King over all the gods, (4) In whose hand are the depths of the earth, and the heights of the mountains are His; (5) To whom the sea belongs, he made it, and his hands made the dry land. (6) Come, let us bow down and bow our knees before the Lord, (7) our Creator, for he is our G-d, and we are the people, his flock, the sheep of his hand. (Oh), if you would listen to His voice now! (8) Do not harden your heart, as in Meribah on the day of Masse in the wilderness, (9) When your fathers tried me, they tried me and saw my work. (10) For forty years I had had a generation (this), and I said, "They are a people with a lost heart, and they do not know my ways," (11) So I swore in my wrath that they would not enter my rest.

96

(1) Sing a new song to the LORD, sing to the LORD – all the earth! (2) Sing to the L-rd, bless his name, proclaim his help day by day. (3) Tell the nations of his glory, and his wonders among all the nations. (4) For the L-rd is great and very glorified, he is awesome above all the gods. (5) For all the deities of the nations are idols, but the LORD created the heavens. (6) Glory and splendor in his sight, power and beauty in his sanctuary. (7) Render glory to the L-rd, families of nations, give glory and power to the L-rd (praise Him) (8) Give glory to the L-rd to His name, bring the gift, and come into His courts.

(10) Say among the nations, "The LORD is the King, and (therefore) the universe is established, it will not be shaken. He will judge the nations righteously. (11) May the heavens rejoice, and the earth rejoice, and the sea and everything that fills it will roar. (12) Let the fields and all that is in them rejoice, and then all the trees of the forest will sing. (13) Before the LORD, for he is coming, because he is coming to judge the earth, he will judge the world with justice and the nations with his truth.

97

(1) The L-rd is the King! The earth will rejoice, and many islands will rejoice. (2) The cloud and the darkness round about him, justice and justice, are the foundation of his throne. (3) Fire goes before him, and devours his enemies around him. (4) The lightnings illuminate his world, and the earth sees and trembles. (5) Mountains melt like wax before the Lord, before the Lord of all the earth. (6) The heavens declare his justice, and all the nations see his glory. (7) All those who serve the image and boast of idols will be ashamed. Worship Him, all you deities. (8) Cyon heard and rejoiced, and the daughters of Judah rejoiced at your judgments, O LORD. (9) For You, the L-rd, are exalted above all the earth, exalted above all the gods. (10) Those who love the L-rd, hate evil! He preserves the souls of His godly, saves them from the hand of the wicked. (11) Light is sown for the righteous, and joy for the upright. (12) Rejoice, you righteous ones, to the L-rd, and glorify His holy name.
