Psalm 147

Praise Yah!
For it is good to sing praises to our God;
For it is pleasant and praise is becoming.
Yahweh builds up Jerusalem;
He gathers the outcasts of Israel.
He is the One who heals the brokenhearted
And who binds up their wounds,
Who counts the number of the stars;
He gives names to all of them.
Great is our Lord and abundant in power;
His discernment is infinite.
Yahweh helps up the afflicted;
He brings down the wicked to the ground.

Sing to Yahweh with thanksgiving;
Sing praises to our God on the lyre.
He is the One who covers the heavens with clouds,
The One who provides rain for the earth,
The One who makes grass to sprout on the mountains,
Who gives to the animal its food,
And to the young ravens which call out.
He does not delight in the might of the horse;
He does not take pleasure in the legs of a man.
Yahweh is pleased with those who fear Him,
Those who wait for His lovingkindness.

Laud Yahweh, O Jerusalem!
Praise your God, O Zion!
For He strengthened the bars of your gates;
He blessed your sons within you.
He is the One who sets peace in your borders,
He satisfies you with the finest of the wheat,
The One who sends forth His command to the earth;
His word runs very swiftly,
The One who gives snow like wool;
He scatters the frost like ashes,
Who casts forth His ice as fragments;
Who can stand before His cold?
He sends forth His word and melts them;
He causes His wind to blow and so the waters flow,
Who declares His words to Jacob,
His statutes and His judgments to Israel.
He has not done so with any nation;
So as for His judgments, they have not known them.
Praise Yah!

Why does God want us to suffer?

Psalm 146

Praise Yah!
Praise Yahweh, O my soul!
I will praise Yahweh throughout my life;
I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.
Do not trust in nobles,
In merely a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.
His spirit departs, he returns to the earth;
In that very day his plans perish.
How blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
Whose hope is in Yahweh his God,
Who made heaven and earth,
The sea and all that is in them;
Who keeps truth forever;
Who does justice for the oppressed;
Who gives food to the hungry.
Yahweh sets the prisoners free.

Yahweh opens the eyes of the blind;
Yahweh raises up those who are bowed down;
Yahweh loves the righteous;
Yahweh keeps the sojourners;
He helps up the orphan and the widow,
But He bends the way of the wicked.
Yahweh will reign forever,
Your God, O Zion, from generation to generation.
Praise Yah!

Psalm 145

I will exalt You, my God, O King,
And I will bless Your name forever and ever.

Every day I will bless You,
And I will praise Your name forever and ever.

Great is Yahweh, and highly to be praised,
And His greatness is unsearchable.

One generation shall laud Your works to another,
And shall declare Your mighty deeds.

On the glorious splendor of Your majesty
And on the words of Your wondrous deeds, I will muse.

Men shall speak of the strength of Your fearsome acts,
And I will recount Your greatness.

They shall pour forth the memory of Your abundant goodness
And will shout joyfully of Your righteousness.

Yahweh is gracious and compassionate;
Slow to anger and great in lovingkindness.

Yahweh is good to all,
And His compassions are over all His works.

All Your works, O Yahweh, shall give thanks to You,
And Your holy ones shall bless You.

They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom
And talk of Your might;

To make known to the sons of men His mighty deeds
And the glory of the majesty of His kingdom.

Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
And Your dominion endures from generation to every generation.

Yahweh sustains all who fall
And raises up all who are bowed down.

The eyes of all wait on You,
And You give them their food in due time.

You open Your hand
And satisfy the desire of every living thing.

Yahweh is righteous in all His ways
And holy in all His works.

Yahweh is near to all who call upon Him,
To all who call upon Him in truth.

He will work out the desire of those who fear Him;
He will hear their cry for help and He will save them.

Yahweh keeps all who love Him,
But all the wicked He will destroy.

My mouth will speak the praise of Yahweh,
And all flesh will bless His holy name forever and ever.

Psalm 144

Blessed be Yahweh, my rock,
Who trains my hands for war,
My fingers for battle;
My lovingkindness and my fortress,
My stronghold and my deliverer,
My shield and He in whom I take refuge,
Who subdues my people under me.
O Yahweh, what is man, that You know him?
Or the son of man, that You think of him?
Man is like a breath;
His days are like a passing shadow.

O Yahweh, bow Your heavens, and come down;
Touch the mountains, that they may smoke.
Flash forth lightning and scatter them;
Send out Your arrows and confuse them.
Send forth Your hand from on high;
Set me free and deliver me out of many waters,
Out of the hand of foreigners
Whose mouth speaks worthlessness,
And whose right hand is a right hand of lying.

O God, I will sing a new song to You;
Upon a harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You,
Who gives salvation to kings,
Who sets David His servant free from the evil sword.
Set me free and deliver me out of the hand of the sons of a foreigner,
Whose mouth speaks worthlessness
And whose right hand is a right hand of lying.

That our sons would be as grown-up plants in their youth,
And our daughters as corner pillars fashioned as for a palace;
That our granaries would be full, furnishing every kind of produce,
And our flocks would bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields outside;
That our cattle would bear
Without mishap and without loss,
And without outcry in our streets!
How blessed are the people for whom this is so;
How blessed are the people for whom God is Yahweh!

Psalm 143

O Yahweh, hear my prayer,
Give ear to my supplications!
Answer me in Your faithfulness, in Your righteousness!
And do not enter into judgment with Your slave,
For no one living is righteous in Your sight.
For the enemy has pursued my soul;
He has crushed my life to the ground;
He has made me inhabit dark places, like those who have long been dead.
Therefore my spirit was faint within me;
My heart was appalled within me.

I remember the days of old;
I meditate on all You have done;
I muse on the work of Your hands.
I stretch out my hands to You;
My soul reaches for You like a weary land. Selah.

Answer me quickly, O Yahweh, my spirit wastes away;
Do not hide Your face from me,
Or I will become like those who go down to the pit.
Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning;
For I trust in You;
Cause me to know the way in which I should walk;
For to You I lift up my soul.
Deliver me from my enemies, O Yahweh,
I have concealed myself in You.

Teach me to do Your will,
For You are my God;
Let Your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
For the sake of Your name, O Yahweh, revive me.
In Your righteousness bring my soul out of distress.
And in Your lovingkindness, cut off my enemies
And cause all those who assail my soul to perish,
For I am Your slave.

Psalm 142

With my voice to Yahweh, I cry aloud;
With my voice to Yahweh, I make supplication.
I pour out my complaint before Him;
I declare my distress before Him.
When my spirit was faint within me,
You knew my path.
In the way where I walk
They have hidden a trap for me.
Look to the right and see;
That there is no one who regards me;
A way of escape has been destroyed from me;
No one cares for my soul.

I cried out to You, O Yahweh;
I said, “You are my refuge,
My portion in the land of the living.
Give heed to my cry of lamentation,
For I am brought very low;
Deliver me from my persecutors,
For they are too strong for me.
Bring my soul out of prison,
To give thanks to Your name;
The righteous will encircle me,
For You will deal bountifully with me.”

Psalm 141

O Yahweh, I call upon You; hasten to me!
Give ear to my voice when I call to You!
May my prayer be established as incense before You;
The lifting up of my hands as the evening offering.
Set a guard, O Yahweh, over my mouth;
Keep watch over the door of my lips.
Do not incline my heart to any evil thing,
To practice deeds in wickedness
With men who are workers of iniquity;
And do not let me eat of their delicacies.

Let the righteous smite me in lovingkindness and reprove me;
It is oil upon the head;
Let not my head refuse it,
For still my prayer is against their evil deeds.
Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the cliff,
And they hear my words, for they are pleasant.
As when one plows and splits open the earth,
Our bones have been scattered at the mouth of Sheol.

For my eyes are toward You, O Yahweh, O Lord;
In You I take refuge; do not pour out my soul to death.
Keep me from the jaws of the trap which they have set for me,
And from the snares of workers of iniquity.
Let the wicked fall into their own nets,
As for myself—meanwhile, I am passing by.
