There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any foreign god.

There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any foreign god.

A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of God; in the midst of the judges He judgeth:

O God, keep not Thou silence; Hold not Thy peace, and be not still, O God.

My soul yearneth, yea, even pineth for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh sing for joy unto the living God.

I will hear what God the LORD will speak; For He will speak peace unto His people, and to His saints; But let them not turn back to folly.

But Thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion and gracious, Slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy and truth.

For who in the skies can be compared unto the LORD, Who among the sons of might can be likened unto the LORD,

A God dreaded in the great council of the holy ones, And feared of all them that are about Him?

He shall call unto Me: Thou art my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation. .

Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever Thou hadst formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, Thou art God.

O LORD, Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, shine forth.

O LORD, Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, shine forth.

For the LORD is a great God, And a great King above all gods;

O LORD our God, Thou didst answer them; A forgiving God wast Thou unto them, Though Thou tookest vengeance of their misdeeds.

I say: 'O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days, Thou whose years endure throughout all generations.

The young lions roar after their prey, And seek their food from God.

But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, And tried God in the desert.

They forgot God their saviour, Who had done great things in Egypt;

Because they rebelled against the words of God, And contemned the counsel of the Most High.

The LORD is God, and hath given us light; Order the festival procession with boughs, even unto the horns of the altar.

Thou art my God, and I will give thanks unto Thee; Thou art my God, I will exalt Thee.

O give thanks unto the God of heaven, For His mercy endureth for ever.

How weighty also are Thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them!

Search me, O God, and know my heart, Try me, and know my thoughts;

I have said unto the LORD: 'Thou art my God'; Give ear, O LORD, unto the voice of my supplications.

Happy is he whose help is the God of Jacob, Whose hope is in the LORD his God,

Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand;

Hallelujah. Praise God in His sanctuary; Praise Him in the firmament of His power.

Withhold not good from him to whom it is due, When it is in the power of thy hand to do it.

But as for me, I would seek unto God, And unto God would I commit my cause;

Doth God pervert judgment? Or doth the Almighty pervert justice?

If thou wouldest seek earnestly unto God, And make thy supplication to the Almighty;

So are the paths of all that forget God; And the hope of the godless man shall perish;

Behold, God will not cast away an innocent man, Neither will He uphold the evil-doers;

Of a truth I know that it is so; And how can man be just with God?

The tents of robbers prosper, And they that provoke God are secure, In whatsoever God bringeth into their hand.

Notwithstanding I would speak to the Almighty, And I desire to reason with God.

Will ye speak unrighteously for God, And talk deceitfully for Him?

Will ye show Him favour? Will ye contend for God?

Yea, thou doest away with fear, And impairest devotion before God.

Are the consolations of God too small for thee, And the word that dealeth gently with thee?

That thou turnest thy spirit against God, And lettest such words go out of thy mouth.

Because he hath stretched out his hand against God, And behaveth himself proudly against the Almighty;

God delivereth me to the ungodly, And casteth me into the hands of the wicked.

Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, And this is the place of him that knoweth not God.

Why do ye persecute me as God, And are not satisfied with my flesh?

He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again; God shall cast them out of his belly.

This is the portion of a wicked man from God, And the heritage appointed unto him by God.

Yet they said unto God: ‘Depart from us; For we desire not the knowledge of Thy ways.
