² “At ^(D)the set time that I appoint
    I will judge ^(E)with equity.
³ When the earth ^(F)totters, and all its inhabitants,
    it is I who keep steady its ^(G)pillars. Selah
⁴ I say to the boastful, ‘Do not boast,’
    and to the wicked, ^(H)‘Do not lift up your horn;
⁵ do not lift up your horn on high,
    or speak with haughty neck.’”

⁶ For not from the east or from the west
    and not from the wilderness comes ^(I)lifting up,
⁷ but it is ^(J)God who executes judgment,
    ^(K)putting down one and lifting up another.
^8 (L)For in the hand of the Lord there is ^(M)a cup
    with foaming wine, ^(N)well mixed,
and he pours out from it,
    and all the wicked of the earth
    shall ^(O)drain it down to the dregs.

⁹ But I will declare it forever;
    I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
^10 (P)All the horns of the wicked I will cut off,
    ^(Q)but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.

⁴ Glorious are you, more majestic
    ^(Y)than the mountains full of ^(Z)prey.
^5 (AA)The stouthearted were stripped of their spoil;
    ^(AB)they sank into sleep;
all the men of war
    were unable to use their hands.
⁶ At your rebuke, O God of Jacob,
    both ^(AC)rider and horse lay stunned.

^7 (AD)But you, you are to be feared!
    Who can ^(AE)stand before you
    when once your anger is roused?
⁸ From the heavens you uttered judgment;
    ^(AF)the earth feared and was still,
⁹ when God ^(AG)arose to establish judgment,
    to save all the humble of the earth. Selah

¹⁰ Surely ^(AH)the wrath of man shall praise you;
    the remnant^[b] of wrath you will put on like a belt.
^11 (AI)Make your vows to the Lord your God and perform them;
    let all around him ^(AJ)bring gifts
    to him who ^(AK)is to be feared,
¹² who ^(AL)cuts off the spirit of princes,
    who ^(AM)is to be feared by the kings of the earth.

⁴ You hold my eyelids open;
    I am so ^(AV)troubled that I cannot speak.
⁵ I consider ^(AW)the days of old,
    the years long ago.
⁶ I said,^[c] “Let me remember my ^(AX)song in the night;
    let me ^(AY)meditate in my heart.”
    Then my spirit made a diligent search:
⁷ “Will the Lord ^(AZ)spurn forever,
    and never again ^(BA)be favorable?
⁸ Has his steadfast love forever ceased?
    Are his ^(BB)promises at an end for all time?
^9 (BC)Has God forgotten to be gracious?
    ^(BD)Has he in anger shut up his compassion?” Selah

¹⁰ Then I said, “I will appeal to this,
    to the years of the ^(BE)right hand of the Most High.”^[d]

¹¹ I will remember the deeds of the Lord;
    yes, I will ^(BF)remember your wonders of old.
¹² I will ponder all your ^(BG)work,
    and meditate on your ^(BH)mighty deeds.
¹³ Your way, O God, is ^(BI)holy.
    ^(BJ)What god is great like our God?
¹⁴ You are the God who ^(BK)works wonders;
    you have ^(BL)made known your might among the peoples.
¹⁵ You ^(BM)with your arm redeemed your people,
    the children of Jacob and Joseph. Selah

¹⁶ When ^(BN)the waters saw you, O God,
    when the waters saw you, they were afraid;
    indeed, the deep trembled.
¹⁷ The clouds poured out water;
    the skies ^(BO)gave forth thunder;
    your ^(BP)arrows flashed on every side.
^18 (BQ)The crash of your thunder was in the whirlwind;
    ^(BR)your lightnings lighted up the world;
    the earth ^(BS)trembled and shook.
¹⁹ Your ^(BT)way was through the sea,
    your path through the great waters;
    yet your footprints ^(BU)were unseen.^[e]
20 You ^(BV)led your people like a flock
    by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

⁵ He established ^(CE)a testimony in ^(CF)Jacob
    and appointed a law in ^(CG)Israel,
which he commanded our fathers
    to teach to their children,
⁶ that ^(CH)the next generation might know them,
    the children yet unborn,
and arise and tell them to their children,
⁷     so that they should set their hope in God
and not forget ^(CI)the works of God,
    but ^(CJ)keep his commandments;
⁸ and that they should not be ^(CK)like their fathers,
    ^(CL)a stubborn and rebellious generation,
a generation ^(CM)whose heart was not steadfast,
    whose spirit was not faithful to God.

⁹ The Ephraimites, armed with^[g] the bow,
    ^(CN)turned back on the day of battle.
¹⁰ They ^(CO)did not keep God's covenant,
    but refused to walk according to his law.
¹¹ They ^(CP)forgot his works
    and ^(CQ)the wonders that he had shown them.
¹² In the sight of their fathers ^(CR)he performed wonders
    in the land of Egypt, in ^(CS)the fields of Zoan.
¹³ He ^(CT)divided the sea and let them pass through it,
    and made the waters ^(CU)stand like a heap.
^14 (CV)In the daytime he led them with a cloud,
    and all the night with a fiery light.
¹⁵ He ^(CW)split rocks in the wilderness
    and gave them drink abundantly as from the deep.
¹⁶ He made streams come out of ^(CX)the rock
    and caused waters to flow down like rivers.

¹⁷ Yet they sinned still more against him,
    ^(CY)rebelling against the Most High in the desert.
¹⁸ They ^(CZ)tested God in their heart
    by demanding the food they craved.
¹⁹ They spoke against God, saying,
    ^(DA)“Can God ^(DB)spread a table in the wilderness?
^20 (DC)He struck the rock so that water gushed out
    and streams overflowed.
Can he also give bread
    or provide meat for his people?”

²¹ Therefore, when the Lord heard, he was full of wrath;
    ^(DD)a fire was kindled against Jacob;
    his anger rose against Israel,
²² because they ^(DE)did not believe in God
    and did not trust his saving power.
²³ Yet he commanded the skies above
    and ^(DF)opened the doors of heaven,
²⁴ and he ^(DG)rained down on them manna to eat
    and gave them ^(DH)the grain of heaven.
²⁵ Man ate of the bread of ^(DI)the angels;
    he sent them food ^(DJ)in abundance.
²⁶ He ^(DK)caused the east wind to blow in the heavens,
    and by his power he led out the south wind;
²⁷ he rained meat on them like ^(DL)dust,
    winged birds like ^(DM)the sand of the seas;
²⁸ he ^(DN)let them fall in the midst of their camp,
    all around their dwellings.
²⁹ And they ^(DO)ate and were well filled,
    for he gave them what they ^(DP)craved.
³⁰ But before they had satisfied their craving,
    ^(DQ)while the food was still in their mouths,
³¹ the anger of God rose against them,
    and he killed ^(DR)the strongest of them
    and laid low ^(DS)the young men of Israel.

³² In spite of all this, they ^(DT)still sinned;
    ^(DU)despite his wonders, they did not believe.
³³ So he made ^(DV)their days ^(DW)vanish like^[h] a breath,^[i]
    and their years in terror.
³⁴ When he killed them, they ^(DX)sought him;
    they repented and sought God earnestly.
³⁵ They remembered that God was their ^(DY)rock,
    the Most High God their ^(DZ)redeemer.
³⁶ But they ^(EA)flattered him with their mouths;
    they ^(EB)lied to him with their tongues.
³⁷ Their ^(EC)heart was not ^(ED)steadfast toward him;
    they were not faithful to his covenant.
³⁸ Yet he, being ^(EE)compassionate,
    ^(EF)atoned for their iniquity
    and did not destroy them;
he restrained his anger often
    and did not stir up all his wrath.
³⁹ He ^(EG)remembered that they were but ^(EH)flesh,
    ^(EI)a wind that passes and comes not again.
⁴⁰ How often they ^(EJ)rebelled against him in the wilderness
    and ^(EK)grieved him in ^(EL)the desert!
⁴¹ They ^(EM)tested God again and again
    and provoked ^(EN)the Holy One of Israel.
⁴² They ^(EO)did not remember his power^[j]
    or the day when he redeemed them from the foe,
^43 (EP)when he performed his ^(EQ)signs in Egypt
    and his ^(ER)marvels in ^(ES)the fields of Zoan.
⁴⁴ He ^(ET)turned their rivers to blood,
    so that they could not drink of their streams.
⁴⁵ He sent among them swarms of ^(EU)flies, which devoured them,
    and ^(EV)frogs, which destroyed them.
⁴⁶ He gave their crops to ^(EW)the destroying locust
    and the fruit of their labor to the locust.
⁴⁷ He destroyed their vines with ^(EX)hail
    and their sycamores with frost.
⁴⁸ He gave over their ^(EY)cattle to the hail
    and their flocks to thunderbolts.
⁴⁹ He let loose on them his burning anger,
    wrath, indignation, and distress,
    a company of ^(EZ)destroying angels.
⁵⁰ He made a path for his anger;
    he did not spare them from death,
    but gave their lives over to the plague.
⁵¹ He struck down every ^(FA)firstborn in Egypt,
    the firstfruits of their strength in the tents of ^(FB)Ham.
⁵² Then he led out his people ^(FC)like sheep
    and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
^53 (FD)He led them in safety, so that they ^(FE)were not afraid,
    but ^(FF)the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
⁵⁴ And he brought them to his ^(FG)holy land,
    ^(FH)to the mountain which his right hand had ^(FI)won.
⁵⁵ He ^(FJ)drove out nations before them;
    he ^(FK)apportioned them for a possession
    and settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.

⁵⁶ Yet they ^(FL)tested and ^(FM)rebelled against the Most High God
    and did not keep his testimonies,
⁵⁷ but turned away and acted treacherously like their fathers;
    they twisted like ^(FN)a deceitful bow.
⁵⁸ For they ^(FO)provoked him to anger with their ^(FP)high places;
    they ^(FQ)moved him to jealousy with their ^(FR)idols.
⁵⁹ When God heard, he was full of ^(FS)wrath,
    and he utterly rejected Israel.
⁶⁰ He ^(FT)forsook his dwelling at ^(FU)Shiloh,
    the tent where he dwelt among mankind,
⁶¹ and delivered his ^(FV)power to captivity,
    his ^(FW)glory to the hand of the foe.
⁶² He ^(FX)gave his people over to the sword
    and ^(FY)vented his wrath on his heritage.
^63 (FZ)Fire devoured their young men,
    and their young women had no ^(GA)marriage song.
⁶⁴ Their ^(GB)priests fell by the sword,
    and their ^(GC)widows made no lamentation.
⁶⁵ Then the Lord ^(GD)awoke as from sleep,
    like a strong man shouting because of wine.
⁶⁶ And he ^(GE)put his adversaries to rout;
    he put them to everlasting shame.

⁶⁷ He rejected the tent of ^(GF)Joseph;
    he did not choose the tribe of Ephraim,
⁶⁸ but he chose the tribe of Judah,
    Mount Zion, which he ^(GG)loves.
⁶⁹ He ^(GH)built his sanctuary like the high heavens,
    like the earth, which he has founded forever.
⁷⁰ He ^(GI)chose David his servant
    and took him from the sheepfolds;
⁷¹ from ^(GJ)following the nursing ewes he brought him
    to ^(GK)shepherd Jacob his people,
    Israel his ^(GL)inheritance.
⁷² With ^(GM)upright heart he shepherded them
    and ^(GN)guided them with his skillful hand.
