For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children:

Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;

The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.

Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.

He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:

From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.

To the chief Musician upon Shoshannimeduth, A Psalm of Asaph. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.

For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.

Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;

But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.

Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!

They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.

He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.

And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:

Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD.

When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.

O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.

Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.

Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.

A Song of degrees of David. If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.

Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel.

A Song of degrees. Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:

Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.

And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever.

For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure.

And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people.

Bless the LORD, O house of Israel: bless the LORD, O house of Aaron:

And brought out Israel from among them: for his mercy endureth for ever:

And made Israel to pass through the midst of it: for his mercy endureth for ever:

Even an heritage unto Israel his servant: for his mercy endureth for ever.

The LORD doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.

He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.

He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the LORD.

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;

I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.

Behold his bed, which is Solomon's; threescore valiant men are about it, of the valiant of Israel.

The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.

Therefore saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies:

In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel.
