Moses and Aaron among his priests,And Samuel among them that call upon his name;They called upon Jehovah, and he answered them.
He spake unto them in the pillar of cloud:They kept his testimonies,And the statute that he gave them.
Thou answeredst them, O Jehovah our God:Thou wast a God that forgavest them,Though thou tookest vengeance of their doings.

O Jehovah, thou God to whom vengeance belongeth,Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, shine forth.

Jehovah, how long shall the wicked,How long shall the wicked triumph?
They prate, they speak arrogantly:All the workers of iniquity boast themselves.
They break in pieces thy people, O Jehovah,And afflict thy heritage.
They slay the widow and the sojourner,And murder the fatherless.
And they say, {Hebrew: Jah.}Jehovah will not see,Neither will the God of Jacob consider.
Consider, ye brutish among the people;And ye fools, when will ye be wise?
He that planted the ear, shall he not hear?He that formed the eye, shall he not see?
He that {Or, instructeth}chastiseth the nations, shall not he correct,Even he that teacheth man knowledge?
Jehovah knoweth the thoughts of man, {Or, For}That they are {Hebrew: a breath.}vanity.
Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O {Hebrew: Jah.}Jehovah,And teachest out of thy law;
That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity,Until the pit be digged for the wicked.
For Jehovah will not cast off his people,Neither will he forsake his inheritance.
For judgment shall return unto righteousness;And all the upright in heart shall follow it.

When I said, My foot slippeth;Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, held me up.
In the multitude of my {Or, doubts}thoughts within meThy comforts delight my soul.
Shall the {Or, seat}throne of wickedness have fellowship with thee,Which frameth mischief by statute?
They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous,And condemn the innocent blood.
But Jehovah hath been my high tower,And my God the rock of my refuge.

Save now, we beseech thee, O Jehovah:O Jehovah, we beseech thee, send now prosperity.
Blessed be he that {Or, entereth}cometh in the name of Jehovah:We have blessed you out of the house of Jehovah.
Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and I say unto you, ye shall not see me, until ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Forasmuch as ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly precious things,
for, {Joel 2:32}Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
