811 Sing for joy to God our strength ; Shout joyfully to the God of Jacob . 2 Raise a song , strike the timbrel , The sweet sounding lyre with the harp . 3 Blow the trumpet at the new moon , At the full moon , on our feast day . 4 For it is a statute for Israel , An ordinance of the God of Jacob . 5 He established it for a testimony in Joseph When he went throughout the land of Egypt . I heard a language that I did not know : 6 "I relieved his shoulder of the burden , His hands were freed from the basket . 7 "You called in trouble and I rescued you; I answered you in the hiding place of thunder ; I proved you at the waters of Meribah . Selah .
8 " Hear , O My people , and I will admonish you; O Israel , if you would listen to Me! 9 "Let there be no strange god among you; Nor shall you worship any foreign god . 10 " I, the Lord , am your God , Who brought you up from the land of Egypt ; Open your mouth wide and I will fill it. 11 "But My people did not listen to My voice , And Israel did not obey Me. 12 "So I gave them over to the stubbornness of their heart , To walk in their own devices . 13 "Oh that My people would listen to Me, That Israel would walk in My ways ! 14 "I would quickly subdue their enemies And turn My hand against their adversaries . 15 " Those who hate the Lord would pretend obedience to Him, And their time of punishment would be forever . 16 "But I would feed you with the finest of the wheat , And with honey from the rock I would satisfy you."
881 O Lord , the God of my salvation , I have cried out by day and in the night before You. 2 Let my prayer come before You; Incline Your ear to my cry ! 3 For my soul has had enough troubles , And my life has drawn near to Sheol . 4 I am reckoned among those who go down to the pit ; I have become like a man without strength , 5 Forsaken among the dead , Like the slain who lie in the grave , Whom You remember no more , And they are cut off from Your hand . 6 You have put me in the lowest pit , In dark places , in the depths . 7 Your wrath has rested upon me, And You have afflicted me with all Your waves . Selah . 8 You have removed my acquaintances far from me; You have made me an object of loathing to them; I am shut up and cannot go out. 9 My eye has wasted away because of affliction ; I have called upon You every day , O Lord ; I have spread out my hands to You.
10 Will You perform wonders for the dead ? Will the departed spirits rise and praise You? Selah . 11 Will Your lovingkindness be declared in the grave , Your faithfulness in Abaddon ? 12 Will Your wonders be made known in the darkness ? And Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness ? 13 But I, O Lord , have cried out to You for help , And in the morning my prayer comes before You. 14 O Lord , why do You reject my soul ? Why do You hide Your face from me? 15 I was afflicted and about to die from my youth on; I suffer Your terrors ; I am overcome . 16 Your burning anger has passed over me; Your terrors have destroyed me. 17 They have surrounded me like water all day long; They have encompassed me altogether . 18 You have removed lover and friend far from me; My acquaintances are in darkness .
921 It is good to give thanks to the Lord And to sing praises to Your name , O Most High ; 2 To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning And Your faithfulness by night , 3 With the ten-stringed lute and with the harp , With resounding music upon the lyre . 4 For You, O Lord , have made me glad by what You have done , I will sing for joy at the works of Your hands . 5 How great are Your works , O Lord ! Your thoughts are very deep . 6 A senseless man has no knowledge , Nor does a stupid man understand this :
7 That when the wicked sprouted up like grass And all who did iniquity flourished , It was only that they might be destroyed forevermore e . 8 But You, O Lord , are on high forever . 9 For, behold , Your enemies , O Lord , For, behold , Your enemies will perish ; All who do iniquity will be scattered . 10 But You have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox ; I have been anointed with fresh oil . 11 And my eye has looked exultantly upon my foes , My ears hear of the evildoers who rise up against me. 12 The righteous man will flourish like the palm tree , He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon . 13 Planted in the house of the Lord , They will flourish in the courts of our God . 14 They will still yield fruit in old age ; They shall be full of sap and very green , 15 To declare that the Lord is upright ; He is my rock , and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
931 The Lord reigns , He is clothed with majesty ; The Lord has clothed and girded Himself with strength ; Indeed , the world is firmly established , it will not be moved . 2 Your throne is established from of old ; You are from everlasting . 3 The floods have lifted up, O Lord , The floods have lifted up their voice , The floods lift up their pounding waves . 4 More than the sounds of many waters , Than the mighty breakers of the sea , The Lord on high is mighty . 5 Your testimonies are fully confirmed ; Holiness befits Your house , O Lord , forevermore e .
