or Song for the sabbath day.
It is a good thing to give thanks unto The LORD,
and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:
To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning,
and thy faithfulness every night,
Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery;
upon the harp with a solemn sound.
For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work:
I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
O LORD, how great are thy works!
and thy thoughts are very deep.
A brutish man knoweth not;
neither doth a fool understand this.
When the wicked spring as the grass,
and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish;
it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:
But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore.
For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD,
for, lo, thine enemies shall perish;
all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn:
I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies,
and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.
The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree:
he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
Those that be planted in the house of The LORD
shall flourish in the courts of our GOD.
They shall still bring forth fruit in old age;
they shall be fat and flourishing;
To shew that The LORD is upright:
He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
Psalm 92
Then they that feared The LORD spake often one to another: and The LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him for them that feared The LORD, and that thought upon His name.

Psalm 91
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High
shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of The LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress:
my GOD; in Him will I trust.
Surely He shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler,
and from the noisome pestilence.
He shall cover thee with His feathers,
and under His wings shalt thou trust:
His truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night;
nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness;
nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
A thousand shall fall at thy side,
and ten thousand at thy right hand;
but it shall not come nigh thee.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold
and see the reward of the wicked.
Because thou hast made The LORD which is my refuge,
even the most High, thy habitation;
There shall no evil befall thee,
either shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
For He shall give His angels charge over thee,
to keep thee in all thy ways.
They shall bear thee up in their hands,
lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder:
the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him:
I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
He shall call upon me, and I will answer him:
I will be with him in trouble;
I will deliver him, and honour him.
With long life will I satisfy him,
and shew him my salvation.

Psalm 90
the man of God.
LORD, thou hast been our dwelling place
in all generations.
Before the mountains were brought forth,
or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world,
even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art GOD.
Thou turnest man to destruction;
and sayest, Return, ye children of men.
For a thousand years in thy sight
are but as yesterday when it is past,
and as a watch in the night.
Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep:
in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.
In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up;
in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.
For we are consumed by thine anger,
and by thy wrath are we troubled.
Thou hast set our iniquities before thee,
our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
For all our days are passed away in thy wrath:
we spend our years as a tale that is told.
The days of our years are threescore years and ten;
and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years,
yet is their strength labour and sorrow;
for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
Who knoweth the power of thine anger?
even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.
So teach us to number our days,
that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
Return, O LORD, how long?
and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.
O satisfy us early with thy mercy;
that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us,
and the years wherein we have seen evil.
Let thy work appear unto thy servants,
and thy glory unto their children.
And let the beauty of The LORD our GOD be upon us:
and establish thou the work of our hands upon us;
yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.

Psalm 87
or Song for the sons of Korah.
His foundation is in the holy mountains.
The LORD loveth the gates of Zion
more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
Glorious things are spoken of thee,
O city of GOD. Selah
I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon
to them that know me:
behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia;
this man was born there.
And of Zion it shall be said,
This and that man was born in her:
and the highest Himself shall establish her.
The LORD shall count, when He writeth up the people,
that this man was born there. Selah.
As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there:
all my springs are in thee.

Psalm 84
How amiable are thy tabernacles,
O LORD of hosts!
My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth
for the courts of The LORD:
my heart and my flesh
crieth out for the living GOD.
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.
Blessed are they that dwell in thy house:
they will be still praising thee. Selah.
Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee;
in whose heart are the ways of them.
Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well;
the rain also filleth the pools.
They go from strength to strength,
every one of them in Zion appeareth before GOD.
O LORD GOD of hosts, hear my prayer:
give ear, O GOD of Jacob. Selah.
Behold, O GOD our shield,
and look upon the face of thine anointed.
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.
For The LORD GOD is a sun and shield:
Tthe LORD will give grace and glory:
no good thing will He withhold
from them that walk uprightly.
O LORD of hosts,
blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.

Psalm 78
Maschil of Asaph.
Give ear, O my people, to my law:
incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
I will open my mouth in a parable:
I will utter dark sayings of old:
Which we have heard and known,
and our fathers have told us.
We will not hide them from their children,
shewing to the generation to come the praises of The LORD,
and His strength, and His wonderful works that He hath done.
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:
That the generation to come might know them,
even the children which should be born;
who should arise and declare them to their children:
That they might set their hope in GOD,
and not forget the works of GOD,
but keep His commandments:
And might not be as their fathers,
a stubborn and rebellious generation;
a generation that set not their heart aright,
and whose spirit was not stedfast with GOD.
The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows,
turned back in the day of battle.
They kept not the covenant of GOD,
and refused to walk in His law;
And forgat His works,
and His wonders that He had shewed them.
Marvellous things did He in the sight of their fathers,
in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through;
and He made the waters to stand as an heap.
In the daytime also He led them with a cloud,
and all the night with a light of fire.
He clave the rocks in the wilderness,
and gave them drink as out of the great depths.
He brought streams also out of the rock,
and caused waters to run down like rivers.
And they sinned yet more against Him
by provoking the most High in the wilderness.
And they tempted GOD in their heart
by asking meat for their lust.
Yea, they spake against GOD; they said,
Can GOD furnish a table in the wilderness?
Behold, He smote the rock, that the waters gushed out,
and the streams overflowed;
can He give bread also?
can He provide flesh for His people?
Therefore The LORD heard this, and was wroth:
so a fire was kindled against Jacob,
and anger also came up against Israel;
Because they believed not in GOD,
and trusted not in His salvation:
Though He had commanded the clouds from above,
and opened the doors of heaven,
And had rained down manna upon them to eat,
and had given them of the corn of heaven.
Man did eat angels' food:
He sent them meat to the full.
He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven:
and by His power He brought in the south wind.
He rained flesh also upon them as dust,
and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea:
And He let it fall in the midst of their camp,
round about their habitations.
So they did eat, and were well filled:
for He gave them their own desire;
They were not estranged from their lust.
But while their meat was yet in their mouths,
The wrath of GOD came upon them,
and slew the fattest of them,
and smote down the chosen men of Israel.
For all this they sinned still,
and believed not for His wondrous works.
Therefore their days did He consume in vanity,
and their years in trouble.
When He slew them, then they sought Him:
and they returned and enquired early after GOD.
And they remembered that GOD was their rock,
and the high GOD their redeemer.
Nevertheless they did flatter Him with their mouth,
and they lied unto Him with their tongues.
For their heart was not right with Him,
neither were they stedfast in His covenant.
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.
How oft did they provoke Him in the wilderness,
and grieve Him in the desert!
Yea, they turned back and tempted GOD,
and limited the Holy One of Israel.
They remembered not His hand,
nor the day when He delivered them from the enemy.
How He had wrought His signs in Egypt,
and His wonders in the field of Zoan.
And had turned their rivers into blood;
and their floods, that they could not drink.
He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.
He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller,
and their labour unto the locust.
He destroyed their vines with hail,
and their sycomore trees with frost.
He gave up their cattle also to the hail,
and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.
He cast upon them the fierceness of His anger,
wrath, and indignation, and trouble,
by sending evil angels among them.
He made a way to His anger;
he spared not their soul from death,
but gave their life over to the pestilence;
And smote all the firstborn in Egypt;
the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham:
But made His own people to go forth like sheep,
and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
And He led them on safely, so that they feared not:
but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
And He brought them to the border of His sanctuary,
even to this mountain, which His right hand had purchased.
He cast out the heathen also before them,
and divided them an inheritance by line,
and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.
Yet they tempted and provoked the most high GOD,
and kept not His testimonies:
But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers:
they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.
For they provoked Him to anger with their high places,
and moved Him to jealousy with their graven images.
When GOD heard this, He was wroth,
and greatly abhorred Israel:
So that He forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh,
the tent which He placed among men;
And delivered His strength into captivity,
and His glory into the enemy's hand.
He gave His people over also unto the sword;
and was wroth with His inheritance.
The fire consumed their young men;
and their maidens were not given to marriage.
Their priests fell by the sword;
and their widows made no lamentation.
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.
Moreover He refused the tabernacle of Joseph,
and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:
But chose the tribe of Judah,
the mount Zion which He loved.
And He built His sanctuary like high palaces,
like the earth which He hath established for ever.
He chose David also His servant,
and took him from the sheepfolds:
From following the ewes great with young He brought him
to feed Jacob His people,
and Israel His inheritance.
So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart;
and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.

Psalm 76
or Song of Asaph.
In Judah is GOD known:
His name is great in Israel.
In Salem also is His tabernacle,
and His dwelling place in Zion.
There brake He the arrows of the bow,
the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.
Thou art more glorious
and excellent than the mountains of prey.
The stouthearted are spoiled,
they have slept their sleep:
and none of the men of might have found their hands.
At thy rebuke, O GOD of Jacob,
both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
Thou, even thou, art to be feared:
and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?
Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven;
the earth feared, and was still,
When GOD arose to judgment,
to save all the meek of the earth. Selah.
Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee:
the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.
Vow, and pay unto The LORD your GOD:
let all that be round about Him
bring presents unto Him that ought to be feared.
He shall cut off the spirit of princes:
He is terrible to the kings of the earth.

Altaschith, A Psalm or Song of Asaph.
Unto thee, O GOD, do we give thanks,
unto thee do we give thanks:
for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.
When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.
The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved:
I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.
I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly:
and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:
Lift not up your horn on high:
speak not with a stiff neck.
For promotion cometh neither from the east,
nor from the west, nor from the south.
But GOD is the judge:
He putteth down one, and setteth up another.
For in the hand of The LORD there is a cup,
and the wine is red; it is full of mixture;
and He poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof,
all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.
But I will declare for ever;
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off;
but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.

The mountains shall bring peace to the people,
and the little hills, by righteousness.
He shall judge the poor of the people,
He shall save the children of the needy,
and shall break in pieces the oppressor.
They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure,
throughout all generations.
He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass:
as showers that water the earth.
In His days shall the righteous flourish;
and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth.
He shall have dominion also from sea to sea,
and from the river unto the ends of the earth.
They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before Him;
and His enemies shall lick the dust.
The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents:
the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
Yea, all kings shall fall down before Him:
all nations shall serve Him.
For He shall deliver the needy when He crieth;
the poor also, and him that hath no helper.
He shall spare the poor and needy,
and shall save the souls of the needy.
He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence:
and precious shall their blood be in His sight.
And He shall live,
and to Him shall be given of the gold of Sheba:
prayer also shall be made for Him continually;
and daily shall He be praised.
There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains;
the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon:
and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.
His name shall endure for ever:
His name shall be continued as long as the sun:
and men shall be blessed in Him:
all nations shall call Him blessed.
Blessed be The LORD GOD, the GOD of Israel,
who only doeth wondrous things.
And blessed be His glorious name for ever:
and let the whole earth be filled with His glory;
Amen, and Amen.
The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
Psalm 72
and thy righteousness unto the king's son.
He shall judge thy people with righteousness,
and thy poor with judgment.
The mountains shall bring peace to the people,
and the little hills, by righteousness.
He shall judge the poor of the people,
He shall save the children of the needy,
and shall break in pieces the oppressor.
They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure,
throughout all generations.
He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass:

Psalm 68
Let GOD arise, let His enemies be scattered:
let them also that hate Him flee before Him.
As smoke is driven away, so drive them away:
as wax melteth before the fire,
so let the wicked perish at the presence of GOD.
But let the righteous be glad;
let them rejoice before GOD:
yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.
Sing unto GOD, sing praises to His name:
extol Him that rideth upon the heavens by His name JAH,
and rejoice before Him.
A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows,
is GOD in His holy habitation.
GOD setteth the solitary in families:
He bringeth out those which are bound with chains:
but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.
O GOD, when thou wentest forth before thy people,
when thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah:
The earth shook,
the heavens also dropped at the presence of GOD:
even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of GOD, the GOD of Israel.
Thou, O GOD, didst send a plentiful rain,
whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.
Thy congregation hath dwelt therein:
thou, O GOD, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor.
The LORD gave the word:
great was the company of those that published it.
Kings of armies did flee apace:
and she that tarried at home divided the spoil.
Though ye have lien among the pots,
yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove covered with silver,
and her feathers with yellow gold.
When the Almighty scattered kings in it,
it was white as snow in Salmon.
The hill of GOD is as the hill of Bashan;
an high hill as the hill of Bashan.
Why leap ye, ye high hills?
this is the hill which GOD desireth to dwell in;
yea, The LORD will dwell in it for ever.
The chariots of God are twenty thousand,
even thousands of angels:
The Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place.
Thou hast ascended on high,
thou hast led captivity captive:
thou hast received gifts for men; yea,
for the rebellious also, that The LORD GOD might dwell among them.
Blessed be The Lord,
who daily loadeth us with benefits,
even The GOD of our salvation. Selah.
He that is our GOD is the GOD of salvation;
and unto GOD The LORD belong the issues from death.
But GOD shall wound the head of His enemies,
and the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses.
The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan,
I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea:
That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies,
and the tongue of thy dogs in the same.
They have seen thy goings, O GOD;
even the goings of my GOD, my King, in the sanctuary.
The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after;
among them were the damsels playing with timbrels.
Bless ye GOD in the congregations,
even The LORD, from the fountain of Israel.
There is little Benjamin with their ruler,
the princes of Judah and their council,
the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.
Thy GOD hath commanded thy strength:
strengthen, O GOD, that which thou hast wrought for us.
Because of thy temple at Jerusalem
shall kings bring presents unto thee.
Rebuke the company of spearmen,
the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people,
till every one submit himself with pieces of silver:
scatter thou the people that delight in war.
Princes shall come out of Egypt;
Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto GOD.
Sing unto GOD, ye kingdoms of the earth;
O sing praises unto The LORD; Selah:
To Him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old;
lo, He doth send out His voice, and that a mighty voice.
Ascribe ye strength unto God:
His excellency is over Israel,
and His strength is in the clouds.
O GOD, thou art terrible out of thy holy places:
the GOD of Israel is He that giveth strength and power unto His people.
Blessed be God.
