For Adonai is a great God, a great king greater than all gods.

For he is our God, and we are the people in his pasture, the sheep in his care. If only today you would listen to his voice:

For forty years I loathed that generation; I said, ‘This is a people whose hearts go astray, they don't understand how I do things.'

For Adonai is great, and greatly to be praised; he is to be feared more than all gods.

For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but Adonai made the heavens.

For you, Adonai , most high over all the earth, you are exalted far above all gods.

Light is sown for the righteous and joy for the upright in heart.

Shout for joy to Adonai , all the earth! Break forth, sing for joy, sing praises!

With trumpets and the sound of the shofar, shout for joy before the king, Adonai !

Let the floods clap their hands; let the mountains sing together for joy

before Adonai , for he has come to judge the earth; he will judge the world rightly and the peoples fairly.

Exalt Adonai our God, bow down toward his holy mountain, for Adonai our God is holy!

A psalm of thanksgiving: Shout for joy to Adonai , all the earth!

For Adonai is good, his grace continues forever, and his faithfulness lasts through all generations.

Adonai , hear my prayer! Let my cry for help reach you!

For my days are vanishing like smoke, my bones are burning like a furnace.

For I have been eating ashes like bread and mingling tears with my drink

You will arise and take pity on Tziyon, for the time has come to have mercy on her; the time determined has come.

For your servants love her very stones; they take pity even on her dust.

May this be put on record for a future generation; may a people yet to be created praise Adonai .
