Oh come, let us sing to the Lord; let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!
Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!
For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods.
For forty years I loathed that generation and said, “They are a people who go astray in their heart, and they have not known my ways.”
Oh sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth!
A Psalm. Oh sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things! His right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him.
Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth; break forth into joyous song and sing praises!
With trumpets and the sound of the horn make a joyful noise before the King, the Lord!
O Lord our God, you answered them; you were a forgiving God to them, but an avenger of their wrongdoings.
A Psalm for giving thanks. Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!
A Psalm of David. I will sing of steadfast love and justice; to you, O Lord, I will make music.
A perverse heart shall be far from me; I will know nothing of evil.
Whoever slanders his neighbor secretly I will destroy. Whoever has a haughty look and an arrogant heart I will not endure.
A Prayer of one afflicted, when he is faint and pours out his complaint before the Lord. Hear my prayer, O Lord; let my cry come to you!
For my days pass away like smoke, and my bones burn like a furnace.
I am like a desert owl of the wilderness, like an owl of the waste places;
I lie awake; I am like a lonely sparrow on the housetop.
All the day my enemies taunt me; those who deride me use my name for a curse.
Let this be recorded for a generation to come, so that a people yet to be created may praise the Lord:
They will perish, but you will remain; they will all wear out like a garment. You will change them like a robe, and they will pass away,
As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him.
As for man, his days are like grass; he flourishes like a flower of the field;
covering yourself with light as with a garment, stretching out the heavens like a tent.
he makes his messengers winds, his ministers a flaming fire.
You covered it with the deep as with a garment; the waters stood above the mountains.
You set a boundary that they may not pass, so that they might not again cover the earth.
The high mountains are for the wild goats; the rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers.
He remembers his covenant forever, the word that he commanded, for a thousand generations,
which he confirmed to Jacob as a statute, to Israel as an everlasting covenant,
When he summoned a famine on the land and broke all supply of bread,
he had sent a man ahead of them, Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
His feet were hurt with fetters; his neck was put in a collar of iron;
He spread a cloud for a covering, and fire to give light by night.
He opened the rock, and water gushed out; it flowed through the desert like a river.
He rebuked the Red Sea, and it became dry, and he led them through the deep as through a desert.
But they had a wanton craving in the wilderness, and put God to the test in the desert;
he gave them what they asked, but sent a wasting disease among them.
They made a calf in Horeb and worshiped a metal image.
they provoked the Lord to anger with their deeds, and a plague broke out among them.
They served their idols, which became a snare to them.
Some wandered in desert wastes, finding no way to a city to dwell in;
He led them by a straight way till they reached a city to dwell in.
He turns rivers into a desert, springs of water into thirsty ground,
a fruitful land into a salty waste, because of the evil of its inhabitants.
He turns a desert into pools of water, a parched land into springs of water.
And there he lets the hungry dwell, and they establish a city to live in;
they sow fields and plant vineyards and get a fruitful yield.
A Song. A Psalm of David. My heart is steadfast, O God! I will sing and make melody with all my being!
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Be not silent, O God of my praise!
Appoint a wicked man against him; let an accuser stand at his right hand.
