יְהֹוָה God's four-letter Name — the Tetragrammaton

A Song of Ascents. In my distress I called unto the LORD, And He answered me.

O LORD, deliver my soul from lying lips, From a deceitful tongue.

My help cometh from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.

The LORD is thy keeper; The LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.

The LORD is thy keeper; The LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.

The LORD shall keep thee from all evil; He shall keep thy soul.

The LORD shall guard thy going out and thy coming in, From this time forth and for ever.

A Song of Ascents; of David. I rejoiced when they said unto me: 'Let us go unto the house of the LORD.'

Whither the tribes went up, even the tribes of the LORD, as a testimony unto Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.

For the sake of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.

Behold, as the eyes of servants unto the hand of their master, As the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; So our eyes look unto the LORD our God, Until He be gracious unto us.

A Song of Ascents; of David. 'If it had not been the LORD who was for us', Let Israel now say;

Our help is in the name of the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.

A Song of Ascents. They that trust in the LORD Are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abideth for ever.

As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, So the LORD is round about His people, From this time forth and for ever.

Do good, O LORD, unto the good, And to them that are upright in their hearts.

But as for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, The LORD will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel.

A Song of Ascents. When the LORD brought back those that returned to Zion, We were like unto them that dream.

Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing; then said they among the nations: 'The LORD hath done great things with these.'

The LORD hath done great things with us; we are rejoiced.

Turn our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the dry land.

A Song of Ascents. Happy is every one that feareth the LORD, That walketh in His ways.

Behold, surely thus shall the man be blessed That feareth the LORD.

The LORD bless thee out of Zion; And see thou the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life;

The LORD is righteous; He hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.'

Neither do they that go by say: ‘The blessing of the LORD be upon you; We bless you in the name of the LORD.'

Neither do they that go by say: ‘The blessing of the LORD be upon you; We bless you in the name of the LORD.'

A Song of Ascents. LORD, remember unto David All his affliction;

How he swore unto the LORD, And vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob:

Until I find out a place for the LORD, A dwelling-place for the Mighty One of Jacob.'

Arise, O LORD, unto Thy resting-place; Thou, and the ark of Thy strength.

The LORD swore unto David in truth; He will not turn back from it: 'Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.

For the LORD hath chosen Zion; He hath desired it for His habitation:

Like the dew of Hermon, That cometh down upon the mountains of Zion; For there the LORD commanded the blessing, Even life for ever.

A Song of Ascents. Behold, bless ye the LORD, all ye servants of the LORD, That stand in the house of the LORD in the night seasons.
