(Psalms 18:8) Smoke went up out of His nostrils, and fire devoured out of His mouth; coals were kindled by it.
(Psalms 18:9) He also bowed the heavens and came down, and darkness was under His feet.
(Psalms 18:10) And He rode upon a cherub, and soared; yea, He flew swiftly upon the wings of the wind.
(Psalms 18:11) He made darkness His secret place; His pavilion around Him was dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

(Psalms 18:37) I have pursued my enemies and overtaken them; nor did I turn back until they were destroyed.
(Psalms 18:38) I have shattered them, and they cannot rise again; they have fallen under my feet.
(Psalms 18:39) For You have clasped me with strength for the battle; You bowed down under me those who rose up against me.
(Psalms 18:40) You have also given me the necks of my enemies; so that I annihilated those who hated me.
(Psalms 18:41) They cried out for help, but there was no one to deliver; even to Jehovah, but He did not answer them.
(Psalms 18:42) Then I beat them fine as the dust before the wind; I cast them out like the dirt in the streets.
(Psalms 18:43) You have delivered me from the strivings of the people; You have made me the head of the nations; a people whom I have not known shall serve me.
(Psalms 18:44) As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me; the children of foreigners shall cower before me.
(Psalms 18:45) The children of foreigners shall fall down and come trembling out of their holes.

(Psalms 19:3) There is no speech nor words where their voice is not heard.
(Psalms 19:4) Their line has gone out through all the earth and their words to the ends of the world. In them He has set a tent for the sun,
(Psalms 19:5) which comes forth like a bridegroom out from his chamber; he exults as a strong man to run a race,
(Psalms 19:6) going forth from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the ends of it. And there is nothing hidden from its heat.
(Psalms 19:7) The Law of Jehovah is perfect, converting the soul; the Testimony of Jehovah is sure, making wise the simple.

(Psalms 73:1) [A Psalm of Asaph] — Truly God is good to Israel, to the pure of heart.
(Psalms 73:2) But as for me, my foot had almost stumbled; my steps had nearly slipped.
(Psalms 73:3) For I was jealous of the boastful, when I saw the peace of the wicked.
(Psalms 73:4) For there are no bonds in their death; but their belly is fat.
(Psalms 73:5) They are not in trouble like other men; neither are they plagued like other men.
(Psalms 73:6) Therefore pride is their necklace; violence covers them like a garment.
(Psalms 73:7) Their eyes bulge with fatness; they have more than the heart could imagine.
(Psalms 73:8) They scoff and speak of evil oppression; they speak arrogantly.
(Psalms 73:9) They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongues walk through the earth.
(Psalms 73:10) Therefore His people return here, and waters of a full cup are drained out to them.
(Psalms 73:11) And they say, How does the Mighty God know? and, Is there knowledge in the Most High?
(Psalms 73:12) Behold, these are the wicked, who are continually at ease; they increase in riches.
(Psalms 73:13) Surely I have made my heart pure in vain, and washed my hands in innocence.
(Psalms 73:14) For all day long I have been plagued, and chastened every morning.
(Psalms 73:15) If I had said, I will speak thus; behold, I would have deceived a generation of Your sons.
(Psalms 73:16) When I thought deeply in order to understand this, it was troublesome to me,
(Psalms 73:17) until I went into the sanctuary of the Mighty God; then I understood their end.
(Psalms 73:18) Surely You set them in slippery places; You cast them down to desolation.
(Psalms 73:19) How have they been brought to desolation, as in a moment! They are fully brought to an end with destruction,
(Psalms 73:20) like a dream when one awakes; so, O Lord, when You awake, You shall despise their image.
(Psalms 73:21) For my heart was grieved and I was pierced to the core.
(Psalms 73:22) I was so foolish and ignorant; I was like a beast before You.
(Psalms 73:23) Nevertheless I am continually with You; You have held me by my right hand.
(Psalms 73:24) You will lead me with Your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
(Psalms 73:25) Whom have I in Heaven besides You? And there is no one I desire on earth.
(Psalms 73:26) My flesh and my heart waste away; but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion forever.
(Psalms 73:27) For lo, those who are far from You shall perish; You have destroyed all those who go whoring away from You.
(Psalms 73:28) But it is good for me to draw near to God; I have put my trust in the Lord Jehovah, to declare all Your works.
(Psalms 74:1) [Maschil of Asaph] — O God, have You cast us off forever? Will Your anger smoke against the sheep of Your pasture?
(Psalms 74:2) Remember Your congregation, which You have purchased of old, the scepter of Your inheritance which You have redeemed; this mount Zion in which You have dwelt.
(Psalms 74:3) Lift up Your feet to the perpetual desolations, even all the evil the enemy has done in the sanctuary.
(Psalms 74:4) Your enemies roar in the midst of Your meeting place; they set up their banners for signs.
(Psalms 74:5) They are known for bringing their axes against the thick trees.
(Psalms 74:6) And now all its engravings they strike down with axes and hammers.
(Psalms 74:7) They have set fire to Your sanctuary; they have defiled to the ground the dwelling place of Your name.
(Psalms 74:8) They said in their hearts, Together let us violently oppress them. They have burned up all the meeting places of the Mighty God in the land.
(Psalms 74:9) We do not see our signs; there is no prophet any more; neither is there among us any who knows how long.
(Psalms 74:10) O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? Will the enemy blaspheme Your name forever?
(Psalms 74:11) Why do You withdraw Your hand, even Your right hand? From your bosom, draw it out of Your bosom and exterminate them.
(Psalms 74:12) For God is my King of old, working deliverance in the midst of the earth.
(Psalms 74:13) You have divided the sea by Your strength; You have broken the heads of the sea monsters in the waters.

(Psalms 74:15) You have cleaved open the fountain and the flood; You have dried up mighty rivers.
(Psalms 74:16) The day is Yours, the night also is Yours; You have prepared the light and the sun.
(Psalms 74:17) You have established all the borders of the earth; You have made summer and winter.
(Psalms 74:18) Remember this, that the enemy has reproached, O Jehovah, and that the foolish people have blasphemed Your name.
(Psalms 74:19) O do not deliver the soul of Your turtle dove to the beasts; forget not the community of Your lowly forever.
(Psalms 74:20) Have regard to the covenant; for the dark places of the earth are full of the abode of violence.
(Psalms 74:21) O let not the oppressed return ashamed; let the lowly and needy praise Your name.
(Psalms 74:22) Arise, O God, plead Your own case; remember the daily reproaches of the fool.
(Psalms 74:23) Forget not the voice of Your enemies; the roar of those who rise up against You continually increases.
(Psalms 75:1) [To the chief Musician. Altaschith. A Psalm or Song of Asaph] — Unto You, O God, we have given thanks, unto You we have given thanks; for Your wondrous works have declared that Your name is near.
(Psalms 75:2) When I choose the appointed time, I will judge with equity.
(Psalms 75:3) The earth and all its inhabitants are melting away; I have meted out its pillars. Selah.
(Psalms 75:4) I said to the boastful, Do not deal boastfully; and to the wicked, Do not lift up the horn;
(Psalms 75:5) do not lift up your horn on high; nor speak with a stiff neck.
(Psalms 75:6) For exaltation comes neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.
(Psalms 75:7) But God is the Judge; He puts down one and exalts another.
(Psalms 75:8) For in the hand of Jehovah there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is fully mixed; and He pours out from it; but the dregs of it, all the wicked of the earth shall drain its dregs and drink.
(Psalms 75:9) But I will declare forever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
(Psalms 75:10) I will also cut off all the horns of the wicked; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
(Psalms 76:1) [To the chief Musician. Neginoth. A Psalm or Song of Asaph] — In Judah God is known; His name is great in Israel.
(Psalms 76:2) In Salem also is His covert, and His dwelling place in Zion.
(Psalms 76:3) There He broke the flaming arrows of the bow, the shield and sword, and the battle. Selah
(Psalms 76:4) You are more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.
(Psalms 76:5) The stouthearted were plundered; they have become drowsy and fallen asleep; and none of the mighty men have found their hands.
(Psalms 76:6) At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a deep sleep.
(Psalms 76:7) You, Yourself, are to be feared; and who may stand in Your presence when once You are angry?
(Psalms 76:8) You caused judgment to be heard from Heaven; the earth feared and was still,
(Psalms 76:9) when God arose to justice, to deliver all the lowly of the earth. Selah
(Psalms 76:10) Surely the wrath of man shall praise You; with the remainder of wrath You shall gird Yourself.
(Psalms 76:11) Vow unto Jehovah your God, and make good; let all who are around Him bring presents to Him who is to be feared.
(Psalms 76:12) He shall cut off the spirit of princes; He is to be feared by the kings of the earth.
(Psalms 77:1) [To the chief Musician. Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph] — I cried out unto God with my voice; unto God with my voice; and He gave ear unto me.
(Psalms 77:2) In the day of my distress I sought the Lord; my hand was stretched out in the night without ceasing; my soul refused to be comforted.
(Psalms 77:3) I remembered God, and was troubled; I complained, and my spirit fainted. Selah
(Psalms 77:4) You have held my eyelids open; I am so disturbed that I cannot speak.
(Psalms 77:5) I have considered the days of old, the years of antiquity.
(Psalms 77:6) I call to remembrance my song in the night; I meditate within my heart, and my spirit makes diligent search.
(Psalms 77:7) Will the Lord cast off forever? And will He be pleased no more?
(Psalms 77:8) Has His mercy come to an end forever? Has His Word failed from generation to generation?
(Psalms 77:9) Has the Mighty God forgotten to be gracious? Has He in anger shut up His tender mercies? Selah
(Psalms 77:10) And I said, This is my weakness; the years of the right hand of the Most High.
(Psalms 77:11) I will remember the works of YAH; surely I will remember Your wonders of old.
(Psalms 77:12) I will also meditate on all Your works, and talk of Your deeds.
(Psalms 77:13) Your way, O God, is in holiness; who is so great a Mighty God as our God?
(Psalms 77:14) You are the Mighty God who does wonders; you have declared Your strength among the peoples.
(Psalms 77:15) You have with Your arm redeemed Your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah
(Psalms 77:16) The waters saw You, O God; the waters saw You, they were afraid; the depths also trembled.
(Psalms 77:17) The clouds poured out water; the skies sent out a sound; Your arrows also went here and there.
(Psalms 77:18) The voice of Your thunder was in the whirlwind; the lightnings lit up the world; the earth trembled and shook.
(Psalms 77:19) Your way was in the sea, Your path in the great waters, and Your footsteps have not been known.
(Psalms 77:20) You led Your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
(Psalms 78:1) [Maschil of Asaph] — Give ear, O my people, to my instruction; extend your ears to the words of my mouth.
(Psalms 78:2) I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old,
(Psalms 78:3) which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
(Psalms 78:4) We will not hide them from their children, recounting to the following generation the praises of Jehovah, and His strength and His wonderful works that He has done.
(Psalms 78:5) For He established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a Law in Israel, which He commanded our fathers, that they should declare them to their children;
(Psalms 78:6) that the following generation might know them, the children who would be born, that they might arise and recount them to their children,
(Psalms 78:7) that they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of the Mighty God, but keep His commandments;
(Psalms 78:8) and might not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that did not set its heart aright, and whose spirit has not been faithful to the Mighty God.
(Psalms 78:9) The sons of Ephraim, being armed to shoot with their bows, turned back in the day of battle.
(Psalms 78:10) They did not keep the Covenant of God; they refused to walk in His Law,
(Psalms 78:11) and forgot His works and His wonders that He had shown them.
(Psalms 78:12) He did marvelous things in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
(Psalms 78:13) He divided the sea and caused them to pass through; and He made the waters stand up like a heap.
(Psalms 78:14) In the daytime also He led them with the cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.
(Psalms 78:15) He split the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink in abundance from the depths.
(Psalms 78:16) He also brought streams out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.
(Psalms 78:17) But they sinned even more against Him by rebelling against the Most High in the wilderness.
(Psalms 78:18) And they tested the Mighty God in their heart by asking for food for the lust of their soul.
(Psalms 78:19) Yes, they spoke against God: They said, Can the Mighty God set a table in the wilderness?
(Psalms 78:20) Behold, He struck the rock, so that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed. Can He give bread also? Can He provide flesh for His people?
(Psalms 78:21) Therefore Jehovah heard this and was furious; so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel,
(Psalms 78:22) because they did not believe in God, and did not trust in His salvation;
(Psalms 78:23) though He had commanded the clouds above, and opened the doors of the heavens,
(Psalms 78:24) had rained down manna upon them to eat, and given them of the grain of the heavens.
(Psalms 78:25) Men ate the bread of the mighty; He sent them food to the full.
(Psalms 78:26) He caused an east wind to blow in the heavens; and by His power He brought in the south wind.
(Psalms 78:27) He also rained flesh upon them like the dust, and winged birds like the sand of the seas;
(Psalms 78:28) and He let them fall into the midst of their camp, all around their dwellings.
(Psalms 78:29) So they ate and were abundantly satisfied, for He gave them their own desire.
(Psalms 78:30) They were not deprived of their lust; but while their food was still in their mouths,
(Psalms 78:31) the wrath of God came upon them, and killed the fattest of them, and struck down the choice men of Israel.
(Psalms 78:32) For all this they still sinned, and did not believe in His wondrous works.
(Psalms 78:33) Therefore He brought an end to their days in vanity, and their years in dismay.
(Psalms 78:34) When He killed them, then they sought after Him; and they returned and sought earnestly for the Mighty God.
(Psalms 78:35) Then they remembered that God was their rock, and the Most High God was the One who redeemed them.
(Psalms 78:36) Nevertheless they deceived Him with their mouths, and they lied to Him with their tongues;
(Psalms 78:37) for their heart was not steadfast with Him, nor were they faithful in His covenant.
(Psalms 78:38) But He, being compassionate, forgave their iniquity, and did not destroy them; yea, many a time He turned His anger away, and did not stir up all His wrath;
(Psalms 78:39) for He remembered that they were but flesh, a breath that passes away and does not come again.
(Psalms 78:40) How often they provoked Him in the wilderness, and grieved Him in the desert!
(Psalms 78:41) Yea, they turned back and tempted the Mighty God, and troubled the Holy One of Israel.
(Psalms 78:42) They did not remember His hand, the day when He ransomed them from the enemy,
(Psalms 78:43) when He brought to pass His signs in Egypt, and His wonders in the fields of Zoan;
(Psalms 78:44) turned their rivers into blood, and their streams, so that they could not drink.
(Psalms 78:45) He sent swarms of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.
(Psalms 78:46) He also gave their crops to the caterpillar, and their labor to the locust.
(Psalms 78:47) He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycamore trees with frost.
(Psalms 78:48) He also gave up their cattle to the hail, and their flocks to lightning.
(Psalms 78:49) He cast upon them His burning anger, wrath, indignation, and distress, by sending evil angels.
(Psalms 78:50) He made a path for His anger; He did not spare their soul from death, but gave their life over to the plague,
(Psalms 78:51) and struck all the firstborn in Egypt, the first of their strength in the tents of Ham.
(Psalms 78:52) But He made His own people go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock;
(Psalms 78:53) and He led them on safely, so that they did not fear; but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
(Psalms 78:54) And He brought them to the border of His sanctuary, this mountain which His right hand had acquired.
(Psalms 78:55) He also drove out the nations before them, allotted them an inheritance by a surveyor’s line, and made the tribes of Israel dwell in their tents.
(Psalms 78:56) Yet they tested and provoked the Most High God, and did not keep His Testimonies,
(Psalms 78:57) but turned back and acted unfaithfully like their fathers; they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.
(Psalms 78:58) For they provoked Him to anger with their high places, and moved Him to jealousy with their graven images.
(Psalms 78:59) When God heard this, He was angry, and greatly despised Israel,
(Psalms 78:60) so that He forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which He had placed among men,
(Psalms 78:61) and delivered His strength into captivity, and His glory into the enemy’s hand.
(Psalms 78:62) He also gave His people over to the sword, and was angry with His inheritance.
(Psalms 78:63) The fire consumed their young men, and their maidens were not given in marriage.
(Psalms 78:64) Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows made no lamentation.
(Psalms 78:65) Then the Lord awoke as if from sleep, like a mighty man overcome with wine.
(Psalms 78:66) And He struck His enemies; He put them to a perpetual reproach.
(Psalms 78:67) Moreover He rejected the tent of Joseph, and did not choose the tribe of Ephraim,
(Psalms 78:68) but chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion which He loved.
(Psalms 78:69) And He built His sanctuary like the heights, like the earth which He has founded forever.
(Psalms 78:70) He also chose David His servant, and took him from the sheepfolds;
(Psalms 78:71) from following the ewes nursing their young He brought him, to shepherd Jacob His people, and Israel His inheritance.
(Psalms 78:72) So he shepherded them according to the integrity of his heart, and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands.
(Psalms 79:1) [A Psalm of Asaph] — O God, the nations have come into Your inheritance; Your holy temple they have defiled; they have laid Jerusalem in heaps.
(Psalms 79:2) The dead bodies of Your servants they have given as food for the birds of the heavens, the flesh of Your saints to the beasts of the earth.
(Psalms 79:3) Their blood they have shed like water all around Jerusalem, and there was no one to bury them.
(Psalms 79:4) We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to those who are around us.
(Psalms 79:5) How long, Jehovah? Will You be angry forever? Will Your jealousy burn like fire?
(Psalms 79:6) Pour out Your wrath upon the nations that have not known You, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon Your name.
(Psalms 79:7) For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place.
(Psalms 79:8) Oh, do not remember our former iniquities against us! Let Your tender mercies come speedily to meet us, for we have been brought very low.
(Psalms 79:9) Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of Your name; and rescue us, and make atonement for our sins, for Your name’s sake!
(Psalms 79:10) Why should the nations say, Where is their God? Let it be known among the nations in our sight, the avenging of the blood of Your servants which has been shed.
(Psalms 79:11) Let the groaning of the prisoner come before You; according to the greatness of Your power preserve alive the children of death;
(Psalms 79:12) and return upon our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom their reproach with which they have reproached You, O Lord.
(Psalms 79:13) So we, Your people and sheep of Your pasture, will continually give You thanks; we will show forth Your praise from generation to generation.
(Psalms 80:1) [To the chief Musician. Shoshannimeduth. A Psalm of Asaph] — Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, You who lead Joseph like a flock; You who dwell between the cherubim, shine forth!

(Psalms 80:3) Bring us back, O God, and cause Your face to shine, and we shall be saved!
(Psalms 80:4) O Jehovah the God of Hosts, how long will You be angry against the prayer of Your people?
(Psalms 80:5) You have fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink a third time.
(Psalms 80:6) You make us an object of contention to our neighbors, and our enemies laugh among themselves.
(Psalms 80:7) Bring us back, O God of Hosts; cause Your face to shine, and we shall be saved!
(Psalms 80:8) You have brought a vine out of Egypt; You have cast out the nations and planted it.
(Psalms 80:9) You have cleared away for it, and caused the roots to take root, and it filled the land.
(Psalms 80:10) The hills were covered with its shade, and its boughs were like mighty cedars.
(Psalms 80:11) It sent out its boughs to the Sea, and its branches to the River.
(Psalms 80:12) Why have You broken down its hedges, so that all who pass by the way pluck its fruit?
(Psalms 80:13) The boar out of the woods tears it up, and the wild beast of the field devours it.
(Psalms 80:14) Return, we beseech You, O God of Hosts; look down from Heaven and look upon and visit this vine,
(Psalms 80:15) and the vineyard which Your right hand has planted, and the son that You made strong for Yourself.
(Psalms 80:16) It is burned with fire, it is cut down; they perish at the rebuke of Your face.
(Psalms 80:17) Let Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand, upon the son of man whom You have made strong for Yourself.
(Psalms 80:18) Then we will not turn back from You; revive us, and we will call upon Your name.
(Psalms 80:19) Turn us back, O Jehovah the God of Hosts; cause Your face to shine, and we shall be saved!
(Psalms 81:1) [To the chief Musician. Gittith. A Psalm of Asaph] — Sing aloud unto God our strength; make a joyful shout to the God of Jacob.
(Psalms 81:2) Raise a song; bring out the timbrel, the pleasant harp and lute.
(Psalms 81:3) Blow the shofar at the new moon, at the full moon, on our solemn feast day.
(Psalms 81:4) For this is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.

(Psalms 81:6) I removed his shoulder from the burden; his hands left the pots.
(Psalms 81:7) You called in distress, and I rescued you; I answered you in the secret place of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah

(Psalms 81:10) I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt; open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
(Psalms 81:11) But My people would not heed My voice, and Israel would have none of Me.
(Psalms 81:12) So I gave them over to their own stubborn heart, to walk in their own counsels.
(Psalms 81:13) Oh, that My people had listened to Me, that Israel had walked in My ways!
(Psalms 81:14) I would soon have subdued their enemies, and turned My hand against their adversaries.
(Psalms 81:15) The haters of Jehovah would have cowered before Him, and their time would have endured forever.
(Psalms 81:16) He would have fed them also with the finest of the wheat; and with honey out of the rock I would have satisfied you.

(Psalms 83:3) They have taken crafty counsel against Your people, and conspired against Your treasure.
(Psalms 83:4) They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more.
(Psalms 83:5) For they have consulted together with one heart; they covenant an alliance against You:
(Psalms 83:6) The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab and the Hagrites;
(Psalms 83:7) Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
(Psalms 83:8) Assyria also has joined with them; they have helped the sons of Lot. Selah

(Psalms 83:10) who perished at En Dor, who became as dung upon the land.
(Psalms 83:11) Make their nobles like Oreb and like Zeeb, yea, all their anointed like Zebah and Zalmunna,

(Psalms 104:7) At Your rebuke they fled; at the voice of Your thunder they hurried away.
(Psalms 104:8) They went up over the mountains; they went down into the valleys, to the place which You have founded for them.

(Psalms 104:26) There the ships go; there is that leviathan which You have fashioned to play in it.
(Psalms 104:27) These all wait upon You, that You may give them their food in due season.

(Psalms 105:7) He is Jehovah our God; His justice is in all the earth.
(Psalms 105:8) He remembers His covenant forever, the Word which He commanded, to a thousand generations,
(Psalms 105:9) the covenant which He made with Abraham, and His oath unto Isaac,
(Psalms 105:10) and confirmed it unto Jacob for a statute, to Israel as a perpetual covenant,
(Psalms 105:11) saying: To you will I give the land of Canaan as the allotment of your inheritance;
(Psalms 105:12) when they were but a few men in number, yea very few, and sojourned in it.
(Psalms 105:13) When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people,
(Psalms 105:14) He permitted no one to do them wrong; yea, He reproved kings for their sakes,
(Psalms 105:15) saying, Do not touch My anointed, and do My prophets no harm.
(Psalms 105:16) Moreover He called for a famine in the land; He broke the whole staff of bread.
(Psalms 105:17) He sent a man before them; Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
(Psalms 105:18) They hurt his feet with fetters, he was laid in irons,
(Psalms 105:19) until the time that his word came to pass. The Word of Jehovah had refined him.

(Psalms 105:21) He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his possessions,
(Psalms 105:22) to bind his princes at his pleasure, and teach his elders wisdom.

(Psalms 105:24) He increased His people greatly, and made them stronger than their enemies.
(Psalms 105:25) He turned their heart to hate His people, to deal craftily with His servants.
(Psalms 105:26) He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron whom He had chosen.
(Psalms 105:27) They performed His signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
(Psalms 105:28) He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they did not rebel against His Word.
(Psalms 105:29) He turned their waters into blood, and killed their fish.
(Psalms 105:30) Their land brought forth frogs in swarms, even in the chambers of their kings.
(Psalms 105:31) He spoke, and there came swarms of flies, and gnats in all their territory.
(Psalms 105:32) He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.
(Psalms 105:33) He struck their vines also, and their fig trees, and shattered the trees of their territory.
(Psalms 105:34) He spoke, and locusts came, caterpillars without number,
(Psalms 105:35) and ate up all the vegetation in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.
(Psalms 105:36) He also destroyed all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their vigor.
(Psalms 105:37) He also brought them out with silver and gold, and there was no one feeble among their tribes.
(Psalms 105:38) Egypt was glad when they departed, for the fear of them had fallen upon them.
(Psalms 105:39) He spread a cloud for a covering, and fire to give light at night.
(Psalms 105:40) They asked, and He brought quail, and satisfied them with the bread of Heaven.
(Psalms 105:41) He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; it ran in the dry places like a river.
(Psalms 105:42) For He remembered His holy promise, and Abraham His servant.
(Psalms 105:43) He brought out His people with joy, His elect with gladness.
(Psalms 105:44) He gave them the lands of the nations, and they inherited the labor of the peoples,
(Psalms 105:45) that they might keep His statutes and guard His Laws. Praise YAH!
(Psalms 106:1) Praise YAH! O give thanks unto Jehovah, for He is good! For His mercy is eternal.
(Psalms 106:2) Who can utter the mighty acts of Jehovah? Who can proclaim all His praise?
(Psalms 106:3) Blessed are those who keep justice, and he who does righteousness at all times.
(Psalms 106:4) Remember me, O Jehovah, with the favor of Your people; O visit me with Your salvation,
(Psalms 106:5) that I may see the good of Your elect, that I may rejoice in the gladness of Your nation, that I may glory with Your inheritance.
(Psalms 106:6) We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.
(Psalms 106:7) Our fathers in Egypt did not understand Your wonders; they did not remember the multitude of Your mercies, but rebelled by the sea; the Red Sea.
(Psalms 106:8) Nevertheless He delivered them for His name’s sake, that He might make His mighty power known.
(Psalms 106:9) He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up; so He led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.
(Psalms 106:10) He delivered them from the hand of him who hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
(Psalms 106:11) The waters covered their enemies; there was not one of them left.
(Psalms 106:12) Then they believed His Words; they sang His praise.
(Psalms 106:13) They soon forgot His works; they did not wait for His counsel,
(Psalms 106:14) but lusted with desire in the wilderness, and tempted the Mighty God in the desert.
(Psalms 106:15) And He gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.
(Psalms 106:16) When they envied Moses in the camp, and Aaron the saint of Jehovah,
(Psalms 106:17) the earth opened up and swallowed Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.
(Psalms 106:18) And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.
(Psalms 106:19) They made a calf in Horeb, and bowed down to the molten image.
(Psalms 106:20) Thus they changed their Glory into the image of an ox that eats grass.
(Psalms 106:21) They forgot the Mighty God their Deliverer, who had done great things in Egypt,
(Psalms 106:22) wondrous works in the land of Ham, awesome things by the Red Sea.
(Psalms 106:23) Therefore He said that He would destroy them, had not Moses His elect stood before Him in the breach, to turn away His wrath, so that He should not destroy them.
(Psalms 106:24) Then they despised the pleasant land; they did not believe His Word,
(Psalms 106:25) but murmured in their tents, and did not heed the voice of Jehovah.
(Psalms 106:26) Therefore He raised up His hand and swore against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness,
(Psalms 106:27) to overthrow their seed among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.
(Psalms 106:28) They joined themselves also to Baal-Peor, and ate sacrifices to the dead.
(Psalms 106:29) Thus they provoked Him to anger with their deeds, and the plague broke out upon them.
(Psalms 106:30) Then Phinehas stood up and intervened, and the plague was restrained.
(Psalms 106:31) And it was accounted to him for righteousness from generation to generation forevermore.
(Psalms 106:32) They angered Him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses on account of them;
(Psalms 106:33) because they rebelled against His Spirit, so that he spoke rashly with his lips.
(Psalms 106:34) They did not destroy the peoples as Jehovah had commanded them,
(Psalms 106:35) but they mingled with the nations and learned their works;
(Psalms 106:36) they served their idols, which were a snare to them.
(Psalms 106:37) Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons,
(Psalms 106:38) and shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; and the land was polluted with blood.
(Psalms 106:39) Thus they were defiled with their own works, and went whoring with their deeds.
(Psalms 106:40) Therefore the wrath of Jehovah was kindled against His people, so that He abhorred His own inheritance.
(Psalms 106:41) And He gave them into the hand of the nations, and those who hated them ruled over them.
(Psalms 106:42) Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were humbled under their hand.
(Psalms 106:43) Many times He delivered them; but they rebelled in their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.
(Psalms 106:44) Nevertheless He regarded their affliction, when He heard their cry;
(Psalms 106:45) and remembered His covenant toward them, and was moved to compassion according to the abundance of His mercies.
(Psalms 106:46) He also gave them compassion before the faces of those who had taken them captive.
(Psalms 106:47) Deliver us, O Jehovah our God, and gather us from among the nations, to give thanks to Your holy name, to triumph in Your praise.
(Psalms 106:48) Blessed is Jehovah the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting! And let all the people say, Amen! Praise YAH!
(Psalms 107:1) Oh, give thanks unto Jehovah, for He is good; for His mercy is eternal.
(Psalms 107:2) Let the redeemed of Jehovah say so, whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy,
