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

Yet You are holy, 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, God, From all his distress.

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

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

Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come from Zion! When God restores the fortunes of His people, Jacob shall rejoice, Israel shall be glad.

You, Lord God of armies, the God of Israel, Awake to punish all the nations; Do not be gracious to any who deal treacherously in wrongdoing. 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.

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 because of me, Lord God of armies; May those who seek You not be dishonored because of me, God of Israel,

I will also praise You with a harp, And Your truth, my God; I will sing praises to You with the lyre, 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.

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

The Victorious Power of the God of Jacob.

For the music 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 were to 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 strongest 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 from them And apportioned them as an inheritance by measurement, And had the tribes of Israel dwell in their tents.

When God heard them, He was filled with wrath And He utterly rejected Israel;

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

God Implored to Rescue His People from Their Calamities.

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

Listen, Shepherd of Israel, Who leads Joseph like a flock; You who are enthroned above the cherubim, shine forth!
