It

You uprooted a vine from Egypt; You drove out the nations and transplanted it.

You cleared the ground for it, and it took root and filled the land.

You cleared the ground for it, and it took root and filled the land.

It sent out its branches to the Sea, and its shoots toward the River.

The boar from the forest ravages it, and the creatures of the field feed upon it.

He ordained it as a testimony for Joseph when he went out over the land of Egypt, where I heard an unfamiliar language:

I am the LORD your God, who brought you up out of Egypt. Open wide your mouth, and I will fill it.

As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs; even the autumn rain covers it with pools.

As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs; even the autumn rain covers it with pools.

And it will be said of Zion: “This one and that one were born in her, and the Most High Himself will establish her.”

…in the morning it springs up new, but by evening it fades and withers.

…in the morning it springs up new, but by evening it fades and withers.

Return, O LORD! How long will it be? Have compassion on Your servants.

You will only see it with your eyes and witness the punishment of the wicked.

A Psalm. A song for the Sabbath day. It is good to praise the LORD, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High,

The LORD reigns! He is robed in majesty; the LORD has clothed and armed Himself with strength. The world indeed is firmly established; it cannot be moved.

Surely judgment will again be righteous, and all the upright in heart will follow it.

The sea is His, for He made it, and His hands formed the dry land.

For all the gods of the nations are idols, but it is the LORD who made the heavens.

Declare among the nations: “The LORD reigns!” The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved; He will judge the peoples with equity.

Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice; let the sea resound, and all that fills it.

Let the sea resound, and all that fills it, the world, and all who dwell in it.

Let the sea resound, and all that fills it, the world, and all who dwell in it.

Know that the LORD is God. It is He who made us, and we are His; we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture.

I will set no worthless thing before my eyes. I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me.

You will rise up and have compassion on Zion, for it is time to show her favor—the appointed time has come.

…when the wind passes over, it vanishes, and its place remembers it no more.

…when the wind passes over, it vanishes, and its place remembers it no more.

You covered it with the deep like a garment; the waters stood above the mountains.

You bring darkness, and it becomes night, when all the beasts of the forest prowl.

When You give it to them, they gather it up; when You open Your hand, they are satisfied with good things.

When You give it to them, they gather it up; when You open Your hand, they are satisfied with good things.

He looks on the earth, and it trembles; He touches the mountains, and they smolder.

He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant:

He sent darkness, and it became dark—yet they defied His words.

He opened a rock, and water gushed out; it flowed like a river in the desert.

He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; He led them through the depths as through a desert.

The earth opened up and swallowed Dathan; it covered the assembly of Abiram.

It was credited to him as righteousness for endless generations to come.

The cursing that he loved, may it fall on him; the blessing in which he refused to delight, may it be far from him.

The cursing that he loved, may it fall on him; the blessing in which he refused to delight, may it be far from him.

The cursing that he wore like a coat, may it soak into his body like water, and into his bones like oil.

May it be like a robe wrapped about him, like a belt tied forever around him.

Let them know that this is Your hand, that You, O LORD, have done it.

It is well with the man who is generous and lends freely, whose affairs are guided by justice.

From where the sun rises to where it sets, the name of the LORD is praised.

Why was it, O sea, that you fled, O Jordan, that you turned back,

It is not the dead who praise the LORD, nor any who descend into silence.

But it is we who will bless the LORD, both now and forevermore. Hallelujah!

It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man.

It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in princes.

This is the gate of the LORD; the righteous shall enter through it.

This is from the LORD, and it is marvelous in our eyes.

This is the day that the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to Your word.

Give me understanding that I may obey Your law, and follow it with all my heart.

It was good for me to be afflicted, that I might learn Your statutes.

Your word, O LORD, is everlasting; it is firmly fixed in the heavens.

Your faithfulness continues through all generations; You established the earth, and it endures.

Oh, how I love Your law! All day long it is my meditation.

It is time for the LORD to act, for they have broken Your law.

The unfolding of Your words gives light; it informs the simple.

Your promise is completely pure; therefore Your servant loves it.

A song of ascents. Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion. It cannot be moved; it abides forever.

A song of ascents. Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion. It cannot be moved; it abides forever.

Then our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with shouts of joy. Then it was said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.”

May they be like grass on the rooftops, which withers before it can grow,

We heard that the ark was in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar.

For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His home:

A song of ascents. Of David. Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony!

It is like fine oil on the head, running down on the beard, running down Aaron’s beard over the collar of his robes.

It is like the dew of Hermon falling on the mountains of Zion. For there the LORD has bestowed the blessing of life forevermore.

Hallelujah, for the LORD is good; sing praises to His name, for it is lovely.

Remember, O LORD, the sons of Edom on the day Jerusalem fell: “Destroy it,” they said, “tear it down to its foundations!”

Remember, O LORD, the sons of Edom on the day Jerusalem fell: “Destroy it,” they said, “tear it down to its foundations!”

Even before a word is on my tongue, You know all about it, O LORD.

Let the righteous man strike me; let his rebuke be an act of loving devotion. It is oil for my head; let me not refuse it. For my prayer is ever against the deeds of the wicked.

Let the righteous man strike me; let his rebuke be an act of loving devotion. It is oil for my head; let me not refuse it. For my prayer is ever against the deeds of the wicked.

Hallelujah! How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and lovely to praise Him!

How futile it is to spread the net where any bird can see it!

How futile it is to spread the net where any bird can see it!

…if you seek it like silver and search it out like hidden treasure,

…if you seek it like silver and search it out like hidden treasure,

It will rescue you from the forbidden woman, from the stranger with seductive words

For the upright will inhabit the land, and the blameless will remain in it;

Do not withhold good from the deserving when it is within your power to act.

Hold on to instruction; do not let go. Guard it, for it is your life.

Hold on to instruction; do not let go. Guard it, for it is your life.

Avoid it; do not travel on it. Turn from it and pass on by.

Avoid it; do not travel on it. Turn from it and pass on by.

Avoid it; do not travel on it. Turn from it and pass on by.

Guard your heart with all diligence, for from it flow springs of life.

…it prepares its provisions in summer; it gathers its food at harvest.

…it prepares its provisions in summer; it gathers its food at harvest.

…until an arrow pierces his liver, like a bird darting into a snare—not knowing it will cost him his life.

Listen to instruction and be wise; do not ignore it.

The blessing of the LORD enriches, and He adds no sorrow to it.

By the blessing of the upright a city is built up, but by the mouth of the wicked it is torn down.

The people will curse the hoarder of grain, but blessing will crown the one who sells it.
