25:10All the paths of Yahweh are lovingkindness and truth
To such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

25:14The friendship of Yahweh is with those who fear him.
He will show them his covenant.
 
 

50:16But to the wicked the Mighty One says,
"What right do you have to declare my statutes,
That you have taken my covenant on your lips,
^50:17Seeing you hate instruction,
And throw my words behind you?

50:18When you saw a thief, you consented with him,
And have participated with adulterers.

50:19"You give your mouth to evil.
Your tongue harnesses deceit.

50:20You sit and speak against your brother.
You slander your own mother's son.

50:21You have done these things, and I kept silence.
You thought that the "I AM" was just like you.
I will rebuke you, and accuse you in front of your eyes.

50:22"Now consider this, you who forget the Mighty One,
Lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.

89:1I will sing of the lovingkindness of Yahweh forever.
With my mouth, I will make known your faithfulness to all generations.

89:2I indeed declare, "Love stands firm forever.
You established the heavens.
Your faithfulness is in them."

89:3"I have made a covenant with my chosen one,
I have sworn to David, my servant,

89:4'I will establish your seed forever,
And build up your throne to all generations.'"

Selah.

89:5The heavens will praise your wonders, Yahweh;
Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.

89:6For who in the skies can be compared to Yahweh?
Who among the sons of the heavenly beings is like Yahweh,

89:7A very awesome Mighty One in the council of the holy ones,
To be feared above all those who are around him?

89:8Yahweh, Mighty One-Tzva'ot, who is a mighty one, like you?
Yah, your faithfulness is around you.

89:9You rule the pride of the sea.
When its waves rise up, you calm them.

89:10You have broken Rachav in pieces, like one of the slain.
You have scattered your enemies with your mighty arm.

89:11The heavens are yours, the earth also is yours;
The world and its fullness. You have founded them.

89:12The north and the south, you have created them.
Tavor and Chermon rejoice in your name.

89:13You have a mighty arm.
Your hand is strong, and your right hand is exalted.

89:14Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne.
Lovingkindness and truth go before your face.

89:15Blessed are the people who learn to acclaim you.
They walk in the light of your presence, Yahweh.

89:16In your name do they rejoice all day.
In your righteousness, they are exalted.

89:17For you are the glory of their strength.
In your favor, our horn will be exalted.

89:18For our shield belongs to Yahweh;
Our king to the Holy One of Yisra'el.

89:19Then you spoke in vision to your holy ones,
And said, "I have bestowed strength on the warrior.
I have exalted a young man from the people.

89:20I have found David, my servant.
I have anointed him with my holy oil,

89:21With whom my hand shall be established.
My arm will also strengthen him.

89:22No enemy will tax him.
No wicked man will oppress him.

89:23I will beat down his adversaries before him,
And strike those who hate him.

89:24But my faithfulness and my lovingkindness will be with him.
In my name, his horn will be exalted.

89:25I will set his hand also on the sea,
And his right hand on the rivers.

89:26He will call to me, 'You are my Father,
My Mighty One, and the rock of my salvation!'

89:27I will also appoint him my firstborn,
The highest of the kings of the earth.

89:28I will keep my lovingkindness for him forevermore.
My covenant will stand firm with him.

89:29I will also make his seed endure forever,
And his throne as the days of Heaven.

89:30If his children forsake my law,
And don't walk in my ordinances;

89:31If they break my statutes,
And don't keep my commandments;

89:32Then I will punish their sin with the rod,
And their iniquity with stripes.

89:33But I will not completely take my lovingkindness from him,
Nor allow my faithfulness to fail.

89:34I will not break my covenant,
Nor alter what my lips have uttered.

89:35Once have I sworn by my holiness,
I will not lie to David.

89:36His seed will endure forever,
His throne like the sun before me.

89:37It will be established forever like the moon,
The faithful witness in the sky."

Selah.

89:38But you have rejected and spurned.
You have been angry with your anointed.

89:39You have renounced the covenant of your servant.
You have defiled his crown in the dust.

89:40You have broken down all his hedges.
You have brought his strongholds to ruin.

89:41All who pass by the way rob him.

He has become a reproach to his neighbors.

89:42You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries.
You have made all of his enemies rejoice.

89:43Yes, you turn back the edge of his sword,
And haven't supported him in battle.

89:44You have ended his splendor,
And thrown his throne down to the ground.

89:45You have shortened the days of his youth.
You have covered him with shame.

Selah.

89:46How long, Yahweh?
Will you hide yourself forever?
Will your wrath burn like fire?

89:47Remember how short my time is!
For what vanity have you created all the children of men!

89:48What man is he who shall live and not see death,
Who shall deliver his soul from the power of She'ol?

Selah.

89:49Sovereign, where are your former lovingkindnesses,
Which you swore to David in your faithfulness?

89:50Remember, Sovereign, the reproach of your servants,
How I bear in my heart the taunts of all the mighty peoples,

89:51Wherewith your enemies have mocked, Yahweh,
Wherewith they have mocked the footsteps of your anointed one.

89:52Blessed be Yahweh forevermore.

Amen, and Amen.
 
 

103:17But Yahweh's lovingkindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him,
His righteousness to children's children;

103:18To those who keep his covenant,
To those who remember to obey his precepts.
 
 

105:1Give thanks to Yahweh! Call on his name!
Make his doings known among the peoples.

105:2Sing to him, sing praises to him!
Tell of all his marvelous works.

105:3Glory in his holy name.
Let the heart of them rejoice who seek Yahweh.

105:4Seek Yahweh and his strength.
Seek his face forever more.

105:5Remember his marvelous works that he has done;
His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,

105:6You seed of Avraham, his servant,
You children of Ya`akov, his chosen ones.

105:7He is Yahweh, our Mighty One.
His judgments are in all the earth.

105:8He has remembered his covenant forever,
The word which he commanded to a thousand generations,

105:9The covenant which he made with Avraham,
His oath to Yitzchak,

105:10And confirmed the same to Ya`akov for a statute;
To Yisra'el for an everlasting covenant,

105:11Saying, "To you I will give the land of Kana`an,
The lot of your inheritance;"

105:12When they were but a few men in number,
Yes, very few, and sojourners in it.

105:13They went about from nation to nation,
From one kingdom to another people.

105:14He allowed no one to do them wrong.
Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,

105:15"Don't touch my anointed ones.
Do my prophets no harm."

105:16He called for a famine on the land.
He destroyed the food supplies.

105:17He sent a man before them.
Yosef was sold for a slave.

105:18They bruised his feet with shackles.
His neck was locked in irons,

105:19Until the time that his word happened,
And Yahweh's word proved him true.

105:20The king sent and freed him;
Even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.

105:21He made him master of his house,
And ruler of all of his possessions;

105:22To discipline his princes at his pleasure,
And to teach his Zakenim wisdom.

105:23Yisra'el also came into Mitzrayim.
Ya`akov sojourned in the land of Cham.

105:24He increased his people greatly,
And made them stronger than their adversaries.

105:25He turned their heart to hate his people,
To conspire against his servants.

105:26He sent Moshe, his servant,
And Aharon, whom he had chosen.

105:27They performed miracles among them,
And wonders in the land of Cham.

105:28He sent darkness, and made it dark.
They didn't rebel against his words.

105:29He turned their waters into blood,
And killed their fish.

105:30Their land swarmed with frogs,
Even in the chambers of their kings.

105:31He spoke, and swarms of flies came,
And lice in all their borders.

105:32He gave them hail for rain,
With lightning in their land.

105:33He struck their vines and also their fig trees,
And shattered the trees of their country.

105:34He spoke, and the locusts came,
And the grasshoppers, without number,

105:35Ate up every plant in their land;
Ate up the fruit of their ground.

105:36He struck also all the firstborn in their land,
The chief of all their strength.

105:37He brought them forth with silver and gold.
There was not one feeble person among his tribes.

105:38Mitzrayim was glad when they departed,
For the fear of them had fallen on them.

105:39He spread a cloud for a covering,
Fire to give light in the night.

105:40They asked, and he brought quails,
And satisfied them with the bread of the sky.

105:41He opened the rock, and waters gushed out.
They ran as a river in the dry places.

105:42For he remembered his holy word,
And Avraham, his servant.

105:43He brought forth his people with joy,
His chosen with singing.

105:44He gave them the lands of the nations.
They took the labor of the peoples in possession,

105:45That they might keep his statutes,
And observe his laws.
Praise Yah!

111:1Praise Yah!
I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart,
In the council of the upright, and in the congregation.

111:2The works of Yahweh are great,
Pondered by all those who delight in them.

111:3His work is honor and majesty.
His righteousness endures forever.

111:4He has caused his wonderful works to be remembered.
Yahweh is gracious and merciful.

111:5He has given food to those who fear him.
He always remembers his covenant.

111:6He has shown his people the power of his works,
In giving them the heritage of the nations.

111:7The works of his hands are truth and justice.
All his precepts are sure.

111:8They are established forever and ever.
They are done in truth and uprightness.

111:9He has sent redemption to his people.
He has ordained his covenant forever.
His name is holy and awesome!

111:10The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom.
All those who do his work have a good understanding.

His praise endures forever!
 
 

132:1Yahweh, remember David and all his affliction,

132:2How he swore to Yahweh,
And vowed to the Mighty One of Ya`akov:

132:3"Surely I will not come into the structure of my house,
Nor go up into my bed;

132:4I will not give sleep to my eyes,
Or slumber to my eyelids;

132:5Until I find out a place for Yahweh,
A dwelling for the Mighty One of Ya`akov."

132:6Behold, we heard of it in Efratah.
We found it in the field of Jaar:

132:7"We will go into his dwelling place.
We will worship at his footstool.

132:8Arise, Yahweh, into your resting place;
You, and the ark of your strength.

132:9Let your Kohen be clothed with righteousness.
Let your holy ones shout for joy!"

132:10For your servant David's sake,
Don't turn away the face of your anointed one.

132:11Yahweh has sworn to David in truth.
He will not turn from it:
"I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.

132:12If your children will keep my covenant,
My testimony that I will teach them,
Their children also will sit on your throne forevermore."

132:13For Yahweh has chosen Tzion.
He has desired it for his habitation.

132:14"This is my resting place forever.
Here I will live, for I have desired it.

132:15I will abundantly bless her provision.
I will satisfy her poor with bread.

132:16Her Kohanim I will also clothe with yeshu`ah.
Her holy ones will shout aloud for joy.

132:17There I will make the horn of David to bud.
I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.
