A song for ascents.
I turn my eyes to the mountains;
from where will my help come?
My help comes from the LORD,
maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot give way;
your guardian will not slumber;
See, the guardian of Israel
neither slumbers nor sleeps!
The LORD is your guardian,
the LORD is your protection
at your right hand.
By day the sun will not strike you,
nor the moon by night.
The LORD will guard you from all harm;
He will guard your life.
The LORD will guard your going and coming
now and forever.

(1) A song of ascents.
Out of the depths I call You, O LORD. (2) O Lord, listen to my cry;
let Your ears be attentive
to my plea for mercy. (3) If You keep account of sins, O LORD,
Lord, who will survive? (4) Yours is the power to forgive
so that You may be held in awe.
(5) I look to the LORD;
I look to Him;
I await His word. (6) I am more eager for the Lord
than watchmen for the morning,
watchmen for the morning.
(7) O Israel, wait for the LORD;
for with the LORD is steadfast love
and great power to redeem. (8) It is He who will redeem Israel from all their iniquities.

A psalm of David. A song for the dedication of the House.aI.e., the Temple.
I extol You, O LORD,
for You have lifted me up,
and not let my enemies rejoice over me.
O LORD, my God,
I cried out to You,
and You healed me.
O LORD, You brought me up from Sheol,
preserved me from going down into the Pit.
O you faithful of the LORD, sing to Him,
and praise His holy name.
For He is angry but a moment,
and when He is pleased there is life.
bOr “Weeping may linger for the night.”One may lie down weeping at nightfall;-b
but at dawn there are shouts of joy.
When I was untroubled,
I thought, “I shall never be shaken,”
for You, O LORD, when You were pleased,
made [me]cFollowing Saadia, R. Isaiah of Trani; cf. Ibn Ezra. firm as a mighty mountain.
When You hid Your face,
I was terrified.
I called to You, O LORD;
to my Lord I made appeal,
“What is to be gained from my death,dLit. “blood.”
from my descent into the Pit?
Can dust praise You?
Can it declare Your faithfulness?
Hear, O LORD, and have mercy on me;
O LORD, be my help!”
You turned my lament into dancing,
you undid my sackcloth and girded me with joy,
that [my] whole being might sing hymns to You endlessly;
O LORD my God, I will praise You forever.

(3) Have mercy upon me, O God,

in keeping with Your abundant compassion,
blot out my transgressions. (4) Wash me thoroughly of my iniquity,
and purify me of my sin; (5) for I recognize my transgressions,
and am ever conscious of my sin. (6) Against You alone have I sinned,
and done what is evil in Your sight;
so You are just in Your sentence,
and right in Your judgment. (7) Indeed I was born with iniquity;
with sin my mother conceived me. (8) Indeed You desire truth about that which is hidden;
teach me wisdom about secret things.-b
(9) Purge me with hyssop till I am pure;
wash me till I am whiter than snow. (10) Let me hear tidings of joy and gladness;
let the bones You have crushed exult. (11) Hide Your face from my sins;
blot out all my iniquities. (12) Fashion a pure heart for me, O God;
create in me a steadfast spirit. (13) Do not cast me out of Your presence,
or take Your holy spirit away from me. (14) Let me again rejoice in Your help;
let a vigorous spirit sustain me. (15) I will teach transgressors Your ways,
that sinners may return to You.
(16) Save me from bloodguilt,
O God, God, my deliverer,
that I may sing forth Your beneficence. (17) O Lord, open my lips,
and let my mouth declare Your praise. (18) You do not want me to bring sacrifices;
You do not desire burnt offerings; (19) True sacrifice to God is a contrite spirit;
God, You will not despise
a contrite and crushed heart.
(20) May it please You to make Zion prosper;
rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. (21) Then You will want sacrifices offered in righteousness,
burnt and whole offerings;

(2) The benighted man thinks,
“God does not care.”-c
Man’s wrongdoing is corrupt and loathsome;
no one does good. (3) God looks down from heaven on mankind
to find a man of understanding,
a man mindful of God. (4) Everyone is dross,
altogether foul;
there is none who does good,
not even one. (5) Are they so witless, those evildoers,
who devour my people as they devour food,
and do not invoke God? (6) There they will be seized with fright
—never was there such a fright—
for God has scattered the bones of your besiegers;
you have put them to shame,-d
for God has rejected them.
(7) O that the deliverance of Israel might come from Zion!
When God restores the fortunes of His people,
Jacob will exult, Israel will rejoice.

men tell of Your wondrous deeds.
(3) “At the time I choose,
I will give judgment equitably. (4) Earth and all its inhabitants dissolve;
it is I who keep its pillars firm. Selah. (5) To wanton men I say, ‘Do not be wanton!’
to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horns!’”
(6) Do not lift your horns up high
in vainglorious bluster.-a (7) For what lifts a man comes not from the east
or the west or the wilderness; (8) for God it is who gives judgment;
He brings down one man, He lifts up another. (9) There is a cup in the LORD’s hand
with foaming wine fully mixed;
from this He pours;
all the wicked of the earth drink,
draining it to the very dregs. (10) As for me, I will declare forever,
I will sing a hymn to the God of Jacob.
(11) “All the horns of the wicked I will cut;
but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.”

(2) O LORD, my God, in You I seek refuge;
deliver me from all my pursuers and save me, (3) lest, like a lion, they tear me apart,
rending in pieces, and no one save me. (4) O LORD, my God, if I have done such things,
if my hands bear the guilt of wrongdoing, (5) if I have dealt evil to my ally—
I who rescued my foe without reward-b— (6) then let the enemy pursue and overtake me;
let him trample my life to the ground,
and lay my body in the dust. Selah.
(7) Rise, O LORD, in Your anger;
assert Yourself against the fury of my foes;-c
bestir Yourself on my behalf;
You have ordained judgment. (8) Let the assembly of peoples gather about You,
with You enthroned above, on high.-a (9) The LORD judges the peoples;
vindicate me, O LORD,
for the righteousness and blamelessness that are mine. (10) Let the evil of the wicked come to an end,
but establish the righteous;
he who probes the mind and conscience is God the righteous. (11) I look to God to shield me;-e
the deliverer of the upright. (12) God vindicates the righteous;
God pronounces doom-f each day. (13) If one does not turn back, but whets his sword,
bends his bow and aims it, (14) then against himself he readies deadly weapons,
and makes his arrows sharp.-g (15) See, he hatches evil, conceives mischief,
and gives birth to fraud. (16) He has dug a pit and deepened it,
and will fall into the trap he made. (17) His mischief will recoil upon his own head;
his lawlessness will come down upon his skull. (18) I will praise the LORD for His righteousness,
and sing a hymn to the name of the LORD Most High.

O Lord, You have been our refuge in every generation. (2) Before the mountains came into being,
before You brought forth the earth and the world,
from eternity to eternity You are God.
(3) You return man to dust;
You decreed, “Return you mortals!” (4) For in Your sight a thousand years
are like yesterday that has passed,
like a watch of the night. (5) You engulf men in sleep;-b
at daybreak they are like grass that renews itself; (6) at daybreak it flourishes anew;
by dusk it withers and dries up. (7) So we are consumed by Your anger,
terror-struck by Your fury. (8) You have set our iniquities before You,
our hidden sins in the light of Your face. (9) All our days pass away in Your wrath;
we spend our years like a sigh. (10) The span of our life is seventy years,
or, given the strength, eighty years;
but the best of them-b are trouble and sorrow.
They pass by speedily, and we are in darkness.-c (11) Who can know Your furious anger?
Your wrath matches the fear of You. (12) Teach us to count our days rightly,
that we may obtain a wise heart.
(13) Turn, O LORD!
How long?
Show mercy to Your servants. (14) Satisfy us at daybreak with Your steadfast love
that we may sing for joy all our days. (15) Give us joy for as long as You have afflicted us,
for the years we have suffered misfortune. (16) Let Your deeds be seen by Your servants,
Your glory by their children. (17) May the favor of the Lord, our God, be upon us;
let the work of our hands prosper,
O prosper the work of our hands!

(2) Sing joyously to God, our strength;
raise a shout for the God of Jacob. (3) Take up the song,
sound the timbrel,
the melodious lyre and harp. (4) Blow the horn on the new moon,
on the full moon for our feast day. (5) For it is a law for Israel,
a ruling of the God of Jacob; (6) He imposed it as a decree upon Joseph
when he went forth from-a the land of Egypt;
I heard a language that I knew not.
(7) I relieved his shoulder of the burden,
his hands were freed from the basket. (8) In distress you called and I rescued you;
I answered you from the secret place of thunder-b
I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah.
(9) Hear, My people, and I will admonish you;
Israel, if you would but listen to Me! (10) You shall have no foreign god,
you shall not bow to an alien god. (11) I the LORD am your God
who brought you out of the land of Egypt;
open your mouth wide and I will fill it.
(12) But My people would not listen to Me,
Israel would not obey Me. (13) So I let them go after their willful heart
that they might follow their own devices. (14) If only My people would listen to Me,
if Israel would follow My paths, (15) then would I subdue their enemies at once,
strike their foes again and again. (16) Those who hate the LORD shall cower before Him;
their doom shall be eternal. (17) He fed them the finest wheat;
I sated you with honey from the rock.

Praise the LORD for He is good;
His steadfast love is eternal. (2) Who can tell the mighty acts of the LORD,
proclaim all His praises?
(3) Happy are those who act justly,
who do right at all times. (4) Be mindful of me, O LORD, when You favor Your people;
take note of me when You deliver them, (5) that I may enjoy the prosperity of Your chosen ones,
share the joy of Your nation,
glory in Your very own people.
(6) We have sinned like our forefathers;
we have gone astray, done evil. (7) Our forefathers in Egypt did not perceive Your wonders;
they did not remember Your abundant love,
but rebelled at the sea, at the Sea of Reeds. (8) Yet He saved them, as befits His name,
to make known His might. (9) He sent His blast against the Sea of Reeds;
it became dry;
He led them through the deep as through a wilderness. (10) He delivered them from the foe,
redeemed them from the enemy. (11) Water covered their adversaries;
not one of them was left. (12) Then they believed His promise,
and sang His praises. (13) But they soon forgot His deeds;
they would not wait to learn His plan. (14) They were seized with craving in the wilderness,
and put God to the test in the wasteland. (15) He gave them what they asked for,
then made them waste away. (16) There was envy of Moses in the camp,
and of Aaron, the holy one of the LORD. (17) The earth opened up and swallowed Dathan,
closed over the party of Abiram. (18) A fire blazed among their party,
a flame that consumed the wicked. (19) They made a calf at Horeb
and bowed down to a molten image. (20) They exchanged their glory
for the image of a bull that feeds on grass. (21) They forgot God who saved them,
who performed great deeds in Egypt, (22) wondrous deeds in the land of Ham,
awesome deeds at the Sea of Reeds. (23) He would have destroyed them
had not Moses His chosen one
confronted Him in the breach
to avert His destructive wrath. (24) They rejected the desirable land,
and put no faith in His promise. (25) They grumbled in their tents
and disobeyed the LORD. (26) So He raised His hand in oath
to make them fall in the wilderness, (27) to disperse their offspring among the nations
and scatter them through the lands. (28) They attached themselves to Baal Peor,
ate sacrifices offered to the dead. (29) They provoked anger by their deeds,
and a plague broke out among them. (30) Phinehas stepped forth and intervened,
and the plague ceased. (31) It was reckoned to his merit
for all generations, to eternity. (32) They provoked wrath at the waters of Meribah
and Moses suffered on their account, (33) because they rebelled against Him
and he spoke rashly.
(34) They did not destroy the nations
as the LORD had commanded them, (35) but mingled with the nations
and learned their ways. (36) They worshiped their idols,
which became a snare for them. (37) Their own sons and daughters
they sacrificed to demons. (38) They shed innocent blood,
the blood of their sons and daughters,
whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan;
so the land was polluted with bloodguilt. (39) Thus they became defiled by their acts,
debauched through their deeds. (40) The LORD was angry with His people
and He abhorred His inheritance. (41) He handed them over to the nations;
their foes ruled them. (42) Their enemies oppressed them
and they were subject to their power. (43) He saved them time and again,
but they were deliberately rebellious,
and so they were brought low by their iniquity. (44) When He saw that they were in distress,
when He heard their cry, (45) He was mindful of His covenant
and in His great faithfulness relented. (46) He made all their captors kindly disposed toward them.
(47) Deliver us, O LORD our God,
and gather us from among the nations,
to acclaim Your holy name,
to glory in Your praise.
(48) Blessed is the LORD, God of Israel,
From eternity to eternity.
Let all the people say, “Amen.”
Hallelujah.
