Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When the Lord restores His captive people, Jacob will rejoice, Israel will be glad.

Yet You are holy, O You who are enthroned upon the praises of Israel.

You who fear the Lord, praise Him; All you descendants of Jacob, glorify Him, And stand in awe of Him, all you descendants of Israel.

Redeem Israel, O God, Out of all his troubles.

Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, From everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen.

“Hear, O My people, and I will speak; O Israel, I will testify against you; I am God, your God.

Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When God restores His captive people, Let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.

You, O Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, Awake to punish all the nations; Do not be gracious to any who are treacherous in iniquity. Selah.

The earth quaked; The heavens also dropped rain at the presence of God; Sinai itself quaked at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

Bless God in the congregations, Even the Lord, you who are of the fountain of Israel.

Ascribe strength to God; His majesty is over Israel And His strength is in the skies.

O God, You are awesome from Your sanctuary. The God of Israel Himself gives strength and power to the people. Blessed be God!

May those who wait for You not be ashamed through me, O Lord God of hosts; May those who seek You not be dishonored through me, O God of Israel,

I will also praise You with a harp, Even Your truth, O my God; To You I will sing praises with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel.

Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, Who alone works wonders.

BOOK 3

The End of the Wicked Contrasted with That of the Righteous.

A Psalm of Asaph.

Surely God is good to Israel, To those who are pure in heart!

The Victorious Power of the God of Jacob.

For the choir director; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song.

God is known in Judah; His name is great in Israel.

For He established a testimony in Jacob And appointed a law in Israel, Which He commanded our fathers That they should teach them to their children,

Therefore the Lord heard and was full of wrath; And a fire was kindled against Jacob And anger also mounted against Israel,

The anger of God rose against them And killed some of their stoutest ones, And subdued the choice men of Israel.

Again and again they tempted God, And pained the Holy One of Israel.

He also drove out the nations before them And apportioned them for an inheritance by measurement, And made the tribes of Israel dwell in their tents.

When God heard, He was filled with wrath And greatly abhorred Israel;

From the care of the ewes with suckling lambs He brought him To shepherd Jacob His people, And Israel His inheritance.

God Implored to Rescue His People from Their Calamities.

For the choir director; set to El Shoshannim; Eduth. A Psalm of Asaph.

Oh, give ear, Shepherd of Israel, You who lead Joseph like a flock; You who are enthroned above the cherubim, shine forth!
