1Often have they attacked me from my youth let Israel now say
2often have they attacked me from my youth, yet they have not prevailed against me.
3The plowers plowed on my back; they made their furrows long.
4The Lord is righteous; he has cut the cords of the wicked.
5May all who hate Zion be put to shame and turned backward.
6Let them be like the grass on the housetops that withers before it grows up,
7with which reapers do not fill their hands or binders of sheaves their arms,
8while those who pass by do not say, The blessing of the Lord be upon you! We bless you in the name of the Lord!

1Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from the heavens; praise him in the heights!
2Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his host!
3Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all you shining stars!
4Praise him, you highest heavens, and you waters above the heavens!
5Let them praise the name of the Lord, for he commanded and they were created.
6He established them forever and ever; he fixed their bounds, which cannot be passed.
7Praise the Lord from the earth, you sea monsters and all deeps,
8fire and hail, snow and frost, stormy wind fulfilling his command!
9Mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars!
10Wild animals and all cattle, creeping things and flying birds!
11Kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all rulers of the earth!
12Young men and women alike, old and young together!
13Let them praise the name of the Lord, for his name alone is exalted; his glory is above earth and heaven.
14He has raised up a horn for his people, praise for all his faithful, for the people of Israel who are close to him. Praise the Lord!
