1131 Praise Yah!
Praise, you servants of Yahweh,
praise the name of Yahweh. 2 Blessed be the name of Yahweh,
from this time forth and forevermore. 3 From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same,
Yahweh’s name is to be praised. 4 Yahweh is high above all nations,
his glory above the heavens. 5 Who is like Yahweh, our God,
who has his seat on high, 6 Who stoops down to see in heaven and in the earth? 7 He raises up the poor out of the dust.
Lifts up the needy from the ash heap; 8 that he may set him with princes,
even with the princes of his people. 9 He settles the barren woman in her home,
as a joyful mother of children.
Praise Yah!
31 Yahweh, how my adversaries have increased!
Many are those who rise up against me. 2 Many there are who say of my soul,
“There is no help for him in God.” Selah. 3 But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me,
my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
4 I cry to Yahweh with my voice,
and he answers me out of his holy hill. Selah. 5 I laid myself down and slept.
I awakened; for Yahweh sustains me. 6 I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people
who have set themselves against me on every side. 7 Arise, Yahweh!
Save me, my God!
For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone.
You have broken the teeth of the wicked. 8 Salvation belongs to Yahweh.
Your blessing be on your people. Selah.
