Give ear, O my people, to my instruction;
Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
I will open my mouth in a parable;
I will pour forth dark sayings of old,
Which we have heard and known,
And our fathers have recounted to us.
We will not conceal them from their children,
But recount to the generation to come the praises of Yahweh,
And His strength and His wondrous deeds that He has done.

For He established a testimony in Jacob
And set a law in Israel,
Which He commanded our fathers
That they should teach them to their children,
That the generation to come might know, even the children yet to be born,
That they may arise and recount them to their children,
That they should set their confidence in God
And not forget the deeds of God,
But observe His commandments,
And not be like their fathers,
A stubborn and rebellious generation,
A generation that did not prepare its heart
And whose spirit was not faithful to God.

I shall remember the deeds of Yah;
Surely I will remember Your wonders of old.
I will meditate on all Your work
And muse on Your deeds.
O God, Your way is holy;
What god is great like God?
You are the God who works wonders;
You have made known Your strength among the peoples.

You made Your cause to be heard from heaven;
The earth feared and was quiet
When God arose to judgment,
To save all the humble of the earth. Selah.
For the wrath of man shall praise You;
With a remnant of wrath You will gird Yourself.
Make vows to Yahweh your God and pay them;
Let all who are around Him bring gifts to the Fearsome One.
He will cut off the spirit of princes;
He is feared by the kings of the earth.

But as for me, I will declare it forever;
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

Yet God is my King from of old,
Who works deeds of salvation in the midst of the earth.

Whom have I in heaven but You?
And besides You, I desire nothing on earth.
My flesh and my heart fail,
But God is the rock of my heart and my portion forever.
For, behold, those who are far from You will perish;
You have destroyed everyone who is unfaithful to You.
But as for me, the nearness of God is my good;
I have set Lord Yahweh as my refuge,
That I may recount all Your works.

Blessed be Yahweh God, the God of Israel,
Who alone works wondrous deeds.
And blessed be His glorious name forever;
And may the whole earth be filled with His glory.
Amen, and Amen.

But as for me, I will wait continually,
And will praise You yet more and more.
My mouth shall recount Your righteousness
And Your salvation all day long;
For I do not know the sum of them.
I will come with the mighty deeds of Lord Yahweh;
I will bring to remembrance Your righteousness, Yours alone.
O God, You have taught me from my youth,
And I still declare Your wondrous deeds.
And even when I am old and gray, O God, do not forsake me,
Until I declare Your strength to this generation,
Your might to all who are to come.
For Your righteousness, O God, reaches to the heavens,
You who have done great things;
O God, who is like You?
You, who have shown me many troubles and evils,
Will revive me again,
And will bring me up again from the depths of the earth.

Let those be joyful and glad in You
All who seek You
And let them say continually,
“Let God be magnified,”
Those who love Your salvation.

May Your salvation, O God, set me securely on high.
I will praise the name of God with song
And magnify Him with thanksgiving.
And this will please Yahweh better than an ox
Or a young bull with horns and hoofs.
The humble see it and are glad;
You who seek God, let your heart revive.
For Yahweh hears the needy
And does not despise His who are prisoners.

Let heaven and earth praise Him,
The seas and everything that moves in them.
