Yahweh has done great things for us;We are glad.

It is in vain that you rise up early,That you sit out late,O you who eat the bread of painful labors;For in this manner, He gives sleep to His beloved.

When you shall eat of the fruit of the labor of your hands,How blessed will you be and how well will it be for you.

Behold, for thus shall the man be blessedWho fears Yahweh.

I hope for Yahweh, my soul does hope,And for His word do I wait.

My soul waits for the LordMore than the watchmen for the morning,The watchmen for the morning.

O Israel, wait for Yahweh;For with Yahweh there is lovingkindness,And with Him is abundant redemption.

O Yahweh, my heart is not exalted, and my eyes are not raised high;And I do not involve myself in great matters,Or in matters too marvelous for me.

O Israel, wait for YahwehFrom now until forever.

Until I find a place for Yahweh,A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob."

Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness,And let Your holy ones sing for joy.

For the sake of David Your servant,Do not turn away the face of Your anointed.

For Yahweh has chosen Zion;He has desired it for His habitation.

"This is My resting place forever;Here I will inhabit, for I have desired it.

Her priests also I will clothe with salvation,And her holy ones will sing loudly for joy.

There I will cause the horn of David to spring up;I have prepared a lamp for Mine anointed.

It is like the dew of HermonComing down upon the mountains of Zion;For there, Yahweh commanded the blessing—life forever.

Praise Yah, for Yahweh is good;Sing praises to His name, for it is lovely.

For Yah has chosen Jacob for Himself,Israel for His treasured possession.

For I know that Yahweh is greatAnd that our Lord is greater than all gods.
