The Bible (Old and New Testaments)

Thou art not afraid of fear by night, Of arrow that flieth by day,

Of pestilence in thick darkness that walketh, Of destruction that destroyeth at noon,

There fall at thy side a thousand, And a myriad at thy right hand, Unto thee it cometh not nigh.

But with thine eyes thou lookest, And the reward of the wicked thou seest,

(For Thou, O Jehovah, [art] my refuge,) The Most High thou madest thy habitation.

Evil happeneth not unto thee, And a plague cometh not near thy tent,

For His messengers He chargeth for thee, To keep thee in all thy ways,

On the hands they bear thee up, Lest thou smite against a stone thy foot.

On lion and asp thou treadest, Thou trampest young lion and dragon.

Because in Me he hath delighted, I also deliver him — I set him on high, Because he hath known My name.

He doth call Me, and I answer him, I [am] with him in distress, I deliver him, and honour him.

With length of days I satisfy him, And I cause him to look on My salvation!

A Psalm. — A Song for the sabbath-day. Good to give thanks to Jehovah, And to sing praises to Thy name, O Most High,

To declare in the morning Thy kindness, And Thy faithfulness in the nights.

On ten strings and on psaltery, On higgaion, with harp.

For Thou hast caused me to rejoice, O Jehovah, in Thy work, Concerning the works of Thy hands I sing.

How great have been Thy works, O Jehovah, Very deep have been Thy thoughts.

A brutish man doth not know, And a fool understandeth not this; —

When the wicked flourish as a herb, And blossom do all workers of iniquity — For their being destroyed for ever and ever!

And Thou [art] high to the age, O Jehovah.

For, lo, Thine enemies, O Jehovah, For, lo, Thine enemies, do perish, Separate themselves do all workers of iniquity.

And Thou exaltest as a reem my horn, I have been anointed with fresh oil.

And mine eye looketh on mine enemies, Of those rising up against me, The evil doers, do mine ears hear.

The righteous as a palm-tree flourisheth, As a cedar in Lebanon he groweth.

Those planted in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of our God do flourish.

Still they bring forth in old age, Fat and flourishing are they,

To declare that upright [is] Jehovah my rock, And there is no perverseness in Him!

Jehovah hath reigned, Excellency He hath put on, Jehovah put on strength, He girded Himself, Also — established is the world, unmoved.

Established is Thy throne since then, From the age Thou [art].

Floods have lifted up, O Jehovah, Floods have lifted up their voice, Floods lift up their breakers.

Than the voices of many mighty waters, Breakers of a sea, mighty on high [is] Jehovah,

Thy testimonies have been very stedfast, To Thy house comely [is] holiness, O Jehovah, for length of days!

God of vengeance — Jehovah! God of vengeance, shine forth.

Be lifted up, O Judge of the earth, Send back a recompence on the proud.

Till when [do] the wicked, O Jehovah? Till when do the wicked exult?

They utter — they speak an old saw, All working iniquity do boast themselves.

Thy people, O Jehovah, they bruise, And Thine inheritance they afflict.

Widow and sojourner they slay, And fatherless ones they murder.

And they say, 'Jehovah doth not see, And the God of Jacob doth not consider.'

Consider, ye brutish among the people, And ye foolish, when do ye act wisely?

He who planteth the ear doth He not hear? He who formeth the eye doth He not see?

He who is instructing nations, Doth He not reprove? He who is teaching man knowledge [is] Jehovah.

He knoweth the thoughts of man, that they [are] vanity.

O the happiness of the man Whom Thou instructest, O Jah, And out of Thy law teachest him,

To give rest to him from days of evil, While a pit is digged for the wicked.

For Jehovah leaveth not His people, And His inheritance forsaketh not.

For to righteousness judgment turneth back, And after it all the upright of heart,

Who riseth up for me with evil doers? Who stationeth himself for me with workers of iniquity?

Unless Jehovah [were] a help to me, My soul had almost inhabited silence.

If I have said, 'My foot hath slipped,' Thy kindness, O Jehovah, supporteth me.

In the abundance of my thoughts within me, Thy comforts delight my soul.

Is a throne of mischief joined [with] Thee? A framer of perverseness by statute?

They decree against the soul of the righteous, And innocent blood declare wicked.

And Jehovah is for a high place to me, And my God [is] for a rock — my refuge,

And turneth back on them their iniquity, And in their wickedness cutteth them off; Jehovah our God doth cut them off!

Come, we sing to Jehovah, We shout to the rock of our salvation.

We come before His face with thanksgiving, With psalms we shout to Him.

For a great God [is] Jehovah, And a great king over all gods.

In whose hand [are] the deep places of earth, And the strong places of hills [are] His.

Whose is the sea, and He made it, And His hands formed the dry land.

Come in, we bow ourselves, and we bend, We kneel before Jehovah our Maker.

For He [is] our God, and we the people of His pasture, And the flock of His hand, To-day, if to His voice ye hearken,

Harden not your heart as [in] Meribah, As [in] the day of Massah in the wilderness,

Where your fathers have tried Me, Have proved Me, yea, have seen My work.

Forty years I am weary of the generation, And I say, 'A people erring in heart — they! And they have not known My ways:'

Where I sware in Mine anger, 'If they come in unto My rest — !'

Sing to Jehovah a new song, Sing to Jehovah all the earth.

Sing to Jehovah, bless His name, Proclaim from day to day His salvation.

Declare among nations His honour, Among all the peoples His wonders.

For great [is] Jehovah, and praised greatly, Fearful He [is] over all gods.

For all the gods of the peoples [are] nought, And Jehovah made the heavens.

Honour and majesty [are] before Him, Strength and beauty in His sanctuary.

Ascribe to Jehovah, O families of the peoples, Ascribe to Jehovah honour and strength.

Ascribe to Jehovah the honour of His name, Lift up a present and come in to His courts.

Bow yourselves to Jehovah, In the honour of holiness, Be afraid of His presence, all the earth.

Say among nations, 'Jehovah hath reigned, Also — established is the world, unmoved, He judgeth the peoples in uprightness.'

The heavens joy, and the earth is joyful, The sea and its fulness roar.

The field exulteth, and all that [is] in it, Then sing do all trees of the forest,

Before Jehovah, for He hath come, For He hath come to judge the earth. He judgeth the world in righteousness, And the peoples in His faithfulness!

Jehovah hath reigned, The earth is joyful, many isles rejoice.

Cloud and darkness [are] round about Him, Righteousness and judgment the basis of His throne.

Fire before Him goeth, And burneth round about His adversaries.

Lightened have His lightnings the world, The earth hath seen, and is pained.

Hills, like wax, melted before Jehovah, Before the Lord of all the earth.

The heavens declared His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His honour.

Ashamed are all servants of a graven image, Those boasting themselves in idols, Bow yourselves to him, all ye gods.

Zion hath heard and rejoiceth, And daughters of Judah are joyful, Because of Thy judgments, O Jehovah.

For Thou, Jehovah, [art] Most High over all the earth, Greatly Thou hast been exalted over all gods.

Ye who love Jehovah, hate evil, He is keeping the souls of His saints, From the hand of the wicked he delivereth them.

Light [is] sown for the righteous, And for the upright of heart — joy.

Rejoice, ye righteous, in Jehovah, And give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness!

A Psalm. Sing ye to Jehovah a new song, For wonders He hath done, Given salvation to Him hath His right hand and His holy arm.

Jehovah hath made known His salvation, Before the eyes of the nations, He hath revealed His righteousness,

He hath remembered His kindness, And His faithfulness to the house of Israel, All ends of earth have seen the salvation of our God.

Shout to Jehovah, all the earth, Break forth, and cry aloud, and sing.

Sing to Jehovah with harp, With harp, and voice of praise,

With trumpets, and voice of a cornet, Shout ye before the king Jehovah.

Roar doth the sea and its fulness, The world and the inhabitants in it.

Floods clap hand, together hills cry aloud,

Before Jehovah, For He hath come to judge the earth, He judgeth the world in righteousness, And the people in uprightness!
