77:3: When I was in heaviness, I thought upon God: when my heart was vexed, then did I speak. Selah.
77:4: Thou heldest mine eyes waking, I was so feeble, that I could not speak.
77:5: Then remember I the times of old, and the years that were past.
77:6: I called to remembrance my song in the night, I communed with mine own heart, and sought out my spirit.
77:7: Will the Lord_|LORDE| cast out forever? Will he be no more intreated?
77:8: Is his mercy clean gone? Is his promise come utterly to an end for evermore?
77:9: Hath the Lord_|God| forgotten to be gracious? Or, hath he shut up his loving-kindness in displeasure? Selah.
77:10: At the last, I came to this point, that I thought: O why art thou so foolish? the right hand of the most highest_|hyest| can change all.
77:11: Therefore will I remember the works of the LORD, and call to mind thy wonders of old time.

78:3: Which we have heard and known, and such as our fathers have told us.
78:4: That we should not hide them from the children of the generations to come: but to shew the honour of the LORD, his might and wonderful works that he hath done.
78:5: He made a covenant with Jacob, and gave Israel a law, which he commanded our forefathers to teach their children.
78:6: That their posterity might know it, and the children which were yet unborn. To the intent that when they came up, they might shew their children the same.
78:7: That they also might put their trust in God, and not to forget what he had done, but to keep his commandments.
78:8: And not to be as their forefathers, a froward and overthwart generation, a generation that set not their heart a right, and whose spirit was not true toward God.
78:9: Like as the children of Ephraim, which being harnessed and carrying bows, turned themselves back in the time of battle.
78:10: They kept not the covenant of God, and would not walk in his law.
78:11: They forgot what he had done, and the wonderful works that he had shewed for them.
78:12: Marvelous things did he in the sight of our_|their| fathers in the land of Egypt, even in the field of Zoan.
78:13: He divided the sea, and let them go thorow it, and made the waters to stand like a wall.
78:14: In the daytime he led them with a cloud, and all the night thorow with a light of fire.
78:15: He clave the hard rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink thereof, as it had been out of the great depth.
78:16: He brought waters out of the stony rock, so that they gushed out like the rivers.
78:17: Yet for all this they sinned against him, and provoked the most highest_|hyest| in the wilderness.
78:18: They tempted God in their hearts, and required meat for their lust.
78:19: For they spake against God, and said: Yea yea, God shall prepare a table in the wilderness, shall he?
78:20: Lo, he smote the stony rock, that the watery streams gushed out, and the streams flowed withal: but how can he give bread and provide flesh for his people?
78:21: When the LORD heard this, he was wroth: so the fire was kindled in Jacob, and heavy displeasure against Israel.
78:22: Because they believed not in God, and put not their trust in his help.
78:23: So he commanded the clouds above, and opened the doors of heaven.
78:24: He rained down manna upon them for to eat, and give them bread from heaven._{(Septuagint: and rained upon them manna to eat, and gave them the bread of heaven. John 6:31)}
78:25: Then ate they angels' food, for he sent them meat enough.
78:26: He caused the East wind to blow under the heaven, and thorow his power he brought in the south wind.
78:27: He made flesh to rain upon them as thick as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea:
78:28: He let it fall among their tents round about their habitations.
78:29: So they ate, and were filled, for he gave them their own desire.
78:30: And they were not disappointed_|dispointed| of their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths:
78:31: the heavy wrath of God came upon them, slew the wealthiest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.
78:32: But for all this they sinned yet more, and believed not his wonderous works.
78:33: Therefore their days were consumed in vanity, and suddenly their years were gone.
78:34: When he slew them, they sought him, and turned them early unto God.
78:35: They thought then that God was their succour, and that the high God was their redeemer.
78:36: Nevertheless they did but flatter him with their mouths, and dissembled with him in their tongues.
78:37: For their heart was not whole with him, neither continued they in his covenant.
78:38: But he was so merciful, that he forgave their misdeeds, and destroyed them not. Yea, many a time turned he his wrath away, and would not suffer his whole displeasure to arise.
78:39: For he considered that they were but flesh: even a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.
78:40: O how oft have they grieved him in the wilderness? How many a time have they provoked him in the desert?
78:41: They turned back, and tempted God, and moved the holy one in Israel.
78:42: They thought not of his hand, in the day when he delivered them from the hand of the enemy.
78:43: How he had wrought his miracles in Egypt, and his wonders in the land of Zoan.
78:44: How he turned their waters into blood, so that they might not drink of the rivers.
78:45: How he sent lice among them, to eat them up, and frogs to destroy them.
78:46: How he gave their fruits unto the caterpillar, and their labour unto the grasshopper.
78:47: How he beat_|bet| down their vineyards with hail stones, and their mulberry trees with the frost.
78:48: How he smote their cattle with hail stones, and their flocks with hot thunderbolts.
78:49: How he sent upon them the furiousness of his wrath, anger and displeasure: with trouble and falling in of evil angels.
78:50: When he made a way to his fearful indignation, and spared not their souls from death, yea and gave their cattle over to the pestilence.
78:51: When he smote all the firstborn in Egypt, the most principal and mightest in the dwellings of Ham.
78:52: But as for his own people, he led them forth like sheep, and carried them in the wilderness like a flock.
78:53: He brought them out safely, that they should not fear, and overwhelmed their enemies with the sea.
78:54: He carried them unto the borders of his Sanctuary: even in to this hill, which he purchased with his right hand.
78:55: He did cast out the Heathen before them, caused their land to be divided among them for an heritage, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.
78:56: For all this they tempted and displeased the most high God, and kept not his covenant.
78:57: But turned their backs, and fell away like their forefathers, starting aside like a broken bow.
78:58: And so they grieved him with their high places, and provoked him with their images.
78:59: When God heard this, he was wroth, and took sore displeasure at Israel.
78:60: So that he forsook the Tabernacle in Silo, even his habitation wherein he dwelt among men.
78:61: He delivered their power into captivity, and their glory into the enemy's hand.
78:62: He gave his people over into the sword, for he was wroth with his heritage.
78:63: The fire consumed their young men, and their maidens were not given to marriage.
78:64: Their priests were slain with the sword, and there were no widows to made lamentation.
78:65: So the Lord_|LORDE| awakened as one out of sleep, and like a giant refreshed with wine.
78:66: He smote his enemies in the hinder parts, and put them to a perpetual shame.
78:67: He refused the Tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim.
78:68: Nevertheless, he chose the tribe of Judah, even the hill of Sion which he loved.
78:69: And there he builded his temple on high,_|hye| and laid the foundation of it like the ground, that it might perpetually endure.
78:70: He chose David also his servant, and took him away from the sheepfolds.
78:71: As he was following the ewes great with young, he took him, that he might feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.
78:72: So he fed them with a faithful and true heart, and ruled them with all the diligence of his power.

1 Smaller was I than my brothers, and the youngest of my father's sons, so he made me shepherd of his flock and ruler over his kid goats.
2 My hands fashioned a reed pipe, and my fingers a lyre; and I gave glory to the LORD. I said within my mind:
3 "The mountains cannot bear witness to him, nor can the hills proclaim about him; so cherish my words, ye trees, and cherish my deeds, ye flocks.
4 For who can announce, and who can tell, and who can recount my deeds?" The Lord of all has seen, the God of all; he has heard and has listened.
5 He sent his prophet to anoint me, Samuel to raise me up. My brothers went out to meet him, so handsome of figure, tall in appearance,
6 So tall in stature, and beautiful with their hair; yet the LORD God did not choose them.
7 But he sent and fetched me from behind the flock, and anointed me with holy oil, and he appointed me prince of his people and ruler over the children of his covenant.

(Psalm 151B)
At the beginning of power for David, after God's prophet had anointed him.

1 I was small among my brothers, and the youngest in my father's house; I tended my father's sheep; I found a lion and a wolf, and slew them and tore them apart.
2 My hands made a harp; my fingers fashioned a lyre.
3 And who will tell my Lord? The LORD Himself; it is He who hears.
3a Who will show me my Master? He, my LORD, has become my God.
4 It was he who sent His messenger and took me from my father's sheep, and anointed me with his anointing oil.
5 My brothers were handsome and tall, But the Lord was not pleased with them.
6 I went out to meet the Philistine, and he cursed me by his idols.
7 But I drew his own sword; I beheaded him, and took away disgrace from the children of Israel.

Psalm 152 (Translated from the Peshitta, with a diligent comparison to the Dead Sea Scrolls.)
Spoken by David, when he was contending with the lion and the wolf which took a sheep from his flock.

1 O God, O God, come to my aid; help me, save me, and deliver my soul from the slayer.
2 Will I go down to Sheol by the mouth of the lion? Will the wolf be the end of me?
3 Was it not enough for those who lay in wait for my father's flock, and tore a sheep of my father's flock; must they also wish the destruction of my own soul?
4 Have pity, O LORD, and save Thy holy one from destruction, so that he may rehearse Thy glories for all of his days, and may praise Thy great name,
5 when Thou hast delivered him from the hands of the destroying lion and of the ravening wolf, and when Thou hast rescued my captivity from the hands of the wild beasts.
6 Quickly, my Lord, send from Thyself a deliverer, and draw me out of the gaping pit which imprisons me in its depths.

Psalm 153 (Translated from the Peshitta, with a diligent comparison to the Dead Sea Scrolls.)
Spoken by David, thanking God for deliverance from the lion and the wolf, after he had slain them both.
1 Praise the LORD, all ye nations; glorify Him, and bless His name.
2 He has rescued the soul of His elect from the hands of death, and delivered His holy one from destruction.
3 He has saved me from the nets of sheol, and my soul from the pit that cannot be fathomed.
4 Before my deliverance could go forth from Him, I was very nearly tore in two pieces by two wild beasts;
5 but He sent His angel, and closed up from me the gaping mouths, and rescued my life from destruction.
6 My soul will glorify Him and exalt Him, because of all His kindnesses which He has done to me, and will continue to do to me.

Psalm 154 (Translated from the Peshitta, with a diligent comparison to the Dead Sea Scrolls.)
A Prayer of Hezekiah, when he was surrounded by his enemies.

1 Glorify God with a loud voice, and proclaim His glory in the assembly of many.
2 Glorify His praise amidst the multitude of the upright, and speak of His glory with the righteous.
3 Join your souls to the good and to the perfect, to glorify the Most High God.
4 Gather yourselves together to make known His strength, and do not be slow in showing forth His deliverance, His strength, and His glory to all who are young.
5 Wisdom has been given that the honor of the LORD may be known, and it has been made known to men to tell of His works:
6 to make known to children His strength, and to cause those who lack understanding to comprehend His glory,
7 who are far from His entrances and distant from His gates;
8 for the God of Jacob is exalted, and His glory is upon all His works.
9 He will take pleasure in a man who glorifies the Most High, as in one who offers fine meal,
10 and as in one who offers he-goats and calves, and as in one who makes the altar fat with a multitude of burnt offerings, and as the smell of incense from the hands of the just.
11 His voice will be heard from your upright gates, and admonition from the voice of the upright.
12 In their eating and their drinking, when they share together, they will be satisfied in truth.
13 Their mind dwells on the Torah of the Most High God, and their speech is to make known His strength.
14 How far from the wicked is speech of Him, and from all transgressors to know Him!
15 Behold; the eye of the LORD takes pity on the good! He will multiply mercy to those who glorify Him, and from the time of evil will He deliver their soul.
16 Blessed be the LORD, who has delivered the wretched from the hand of the wicked; who raises up a horn out of Jacob, and a judge of the nations out of Israel,
17 that He may prolong His dwelling in Zion, and may adorn our age in Jerusalem.

Psalm 155 (Translated from the Peshitta, with a diligent comparison to the Dead Sea Scrolls.)
A prayer of thanksgiving, when the people obtained permission from Cyrus to return home.

1 O LORD, I have cried to Thee; hear me.
2 I have lifted up my hands to Thy holy dwelling place; incline Thy ear to me.
3 Grant me my request; do not withhold my prayer from me.
4 Build up my soul, and do not destroy it, and do not lay it bare before the wicked.
5 Those who reward evil things turn Thou away from me, O judge of truth.
6 O LORD, do not judge me according to my sins, because no flesh is innocent before Thee.
7 Make Thy Torah plain to me, O LORD, and teach me Thy judgments.
8 Many will hear of Thy works, and the nations will praise Thy honor.
9 Remember me, and do not forget me; and do not lead me into things that are too difficult for me.
10 Cause the sins of my youth to pass from me, and remember my chastisement against me no longer.
11 Cleanse me, O LORD, from the evil leprosy, and do not let it come against me any longer.
12 Dry up its roots from within me, and do not let its leaves sprout within me.
13 Thou are great, O LORD; therefore, my request will be fulfilled in Thee.
14 To whom will I complain that He may give to me? What help can be found in the strength of men?
15 From Thee, O LORD, is my confidence; I cried to the LORD, and He heard me, and healed the breaking of my heart.
16 I slumbered and slept; I dreamed and was helped, and the LORD sustained me.
17 They sorely pained my heart; I will return thanks because the LORD delivered me.
18 Now will I rejoice in their shame; I have hoped in Thee, and I will not be ashamed.
19 May Thou be given honor forever, even forever and ever.
20 Deliver Israel, Thy elect, and those of the house of Jacob, Thy proved one.

Psalm 156
A Plea for Deliverance.

1 A worm does not thank Thee, nor does a maggot recount Thy lovingkindness.
2 Only the living thank Thee, all they whose feet stumble do thank Thee, when Thou make Thy lovingkindness known to them, and cause them to understand Thy righteousness;
3 for the soul of all the living is in Thy hand, and Thou hast given breath to all flesh.
4 O LORD, do to us according to Thy goodness, according to the greatness of Thy mercies, and according to the greatness of Thy righteous deeds.
5 The LORD listens to the voice of all who love His name, and He does not permit His lovingkindness to depart from them.
6 Blessed be the LORD, who does righteous deeds, who crowns His set-apart ones with lovingkindness and mercies.
7 My soul shouts to praise Thy name, to praise Thy mercies with jubilation, to announce Thy faithfulness; for there is no limit to Thy praises.
8 I belonged to death because of my sins, and my iniquities had sold me to Sheol;
9 but Thou saved me, O LORD, according to the greatness of Thy mercies, and according to the greatness of Thy righteous deeds.
10 I have, indeed, loved Thy name, and have taken refuge in Thy shadow.
11 My heart is strengthened when I remember Thy power, and I rely on Thy mercies.
12 Forgive my sins, O LORD, and purify me of my iniquity.
13 Grant me a spirit of faithfulness and knowledge; let me not be dishonored in ruin.
14 Do not allow the wicked one or an unclean spirit to overtake me, and do not allow pain or the evil inclination to possess my bones;
15 for Thou, O LORD, are my praise, and I hope in Thee every day.
16 My brethren rejoice with me, and the house of my father is astounded by Thy graciousness.
17 I will always rejoice in Thee.

Psalm 157
A Hymn to Zion.

1 I will remember Thou, O Zion, for a blessing. I love thee with all My might; for Thy memory is to be blessed forever.
2 Thy hope is great, O Zion; peace and thy awaited salvation will come.
3 Generation after generation shall dwell in thee, and generations of the righteous shall be thy ornament.
4 They who desire the day of thy salvation shall rejoice in the greatness of thy glory.
5 They shall be suckled on the fullness of thy glory, and in Thy beautiful streets they shall make tinkling sounds.
6 Thou shall remember the righteous deeds of Thy prophets, and shall glorify thyself in the deeds of Thy righteous ones.
7 Cleanse violence from thy midst; may lying and iniquity be cut off from thee.
8 Thy sons shall rejoice within thee, and thy cherished ones shall be joined to thee. How much have they hoped in thy salvation?
9 How much have thy perfect ones mourned for thee?
10 Thy hope, O Zion, shall not perish, and Thy expectation will not be forgotten.
11 Is there a righteous man who has perished? Is there a man who has escaped his iniquity?
12 Man is tried according to his way, each is repaid according to his deeds.
13 Thy oppressors shall be cut off from around thee, O Zion, and all who hate thee shall be dispersed.
14 Thy praise is pleasing, O Zion; it rises up in all the world.
15 I will remember thee many times for a blessing, and I will bless thee with all My heart.
16 Thou shall attain to eternal righteousness, and shall receive blessings from the noble.
17 Take the vision which speaks of thee, and the dreams of the prophets requested for thee.
18 Be exalted and increase, O Zion, and praise the Most High, Thy Redeemer! May my soul rejoice in Thy glory!

Psalm 158
A Hymn to the Name of the LORD.

1 In the midst of the congregation they shall praise the name of the LORD,
2 for He has come to judge every action, to remove the wicked from the earth, so that the children of iniquity shall not be found.
3 The heavens shall give their dew, and there shall be no drought within their boundaries.
4 The earth shall give its fruit in its time, and its product shall not fail.
5 The fruit trees shall give of the fruit of its vineyards, and the ground shall not cheat of its produce.
6 The poor shall eat, and those who fear God shall be filled.

Hymn(DSS 4QPsf)
then they will extol the the name of the LORD, for he comes to judge every action,
to do away with the wicked from the earth, so that iniquity will no longer be found.
And the heavens will give their dew, and there will be no evil within their borders.
And the earth will offer up its fruits in season, and will not fall short of its produce.
The fruit trees will extend their vines, and will not fall short of their branches,
The oppressed will eat, and those who fear the LORD will be satisfied.

Psalm 159
A Hymn to Judah.

1 Heaven and earth shall give praise together. Let all the stars of the evening twilight give praise!
2 Rejoice, Judah; rejoice! Rejoice, rejoice and be glad with gladness!
3 Celebrate Thy feasts, and pay Thy vows; for there is no wickedness in Thy midst.
4 Raise Thy hand, and fortify Thy right hand!
5 Behold, the enemy shall perish, and all the workers of iniquity shall be dispersed;
6 but Thee, O LORD, are forever, and Thy glory shall be forever and ever.

Hallelujah!

Apostrophe (DSS 4QPsf)
So heaven and earth give praise as one, let all the stars of twilight give praise!
Rejoice, O Judah, in your joy; be glad in your gladness, and dance in your dance.
Make your pilgrimages, fulfil your vows, for Belial is nowhere in your midst.
May your hand be lifted up! May your right hand prevail!
See, enemies will perish, and all who carry out will be scattered.
But you, O LORD, are Eternal; your glory endures forever and ever.
Praise the Lord!

Psalm 160
A Hymn to the Creator.

1 The LORD is great and holy, the holiest for generation after generation.
2 Majesty goes before Him, and abundance of many waters comes after Him.
3 Loving-kindness and truth surround His face; truth, judgment, and righteousness are the pedestal of His throne.
4 He divides light from the unknown, and He establishes the dawn by the knowledge of His heart.
5 All His messengers sang when they saw it; for He showed them that which they had not known.
6 He crowns the mountains with fruit, with good food for all the living.
7 May the Lord of the earth be blessed, along with His power; for He establishes the world by His wisdom.
8 He stretched out the heaven by His understanding, and brought forth wind from His stores.
9 He made lightnings for the rain, and raised mist from the end of the earth.

Psalm of David. Against An incantation in the name of the LORD. To be invoked at any time to the heavens

When he comes to you at night, you will say to him:
Who are you? Withdraw from humanity and from the offspring of the holy ones!
For your appearance is one of vanity, and your horns are horns of illusion.
You are darkness, not light, wickedness, not righteousness..
the Commander of the Army, the LORD will bring you into deepest Sheol,
and he will close the two gates of bronze through which no light can enter,
and the sun will not but shine upon the righteous
And then you will say: "By justice of YHWH, come out demon and not harm him."
From verity within because He has righteousness and light.

A Psalm of Solomon He invoked against the spirits and the demons
These are the demons and the prince of enmity against Israel out of the abyss to the great land of his people. Thank YHWH for the healing that leans upon your name, and beckons upon the Lord. He says to Israel, "Hold fast to YHWH, He who made the heavens and the earth, and all that is in them, who separated light from darkness; yea the depths of the earth and pillars of the earth. Who made these signs and wonders on the earth? YHWH, it is He who made these through his power, who summons all his angels and all the holy offspring to stand before him; yea all the heavens and all the earth. Yet demons committed sin against all humanity, and all evil against all people. Yet they know his wonderful name which they do not love. If they do not desist out of fear of YHWH from unrighteousness and from killing the souls of YHWH: they will fear that great name! "One of you puts to flight a thousand." Ye servants of YHWH be great and be great in who is adjuring you and that great name and mighty that created all the earth and the heavens but not unruly creatures. May YHWH smite you with a mighty blow in order to destroy you demons, and in his fierce wrath may he send against you a powerful angel to carry out his entire command, who will show no mercy to you, who come against all these, who will send you down in to the great abyss and to deepest Sheol, and who will bind you, and there you shall lie, and darkness engulf you very much and be no longer on the earth forever and ever. For the curse of destruction provoked the fierce anger of YHWH in darkness for all you demons, to give you affliction as your gift which those possessed by demons are those crushed unjustly. Raphael has healed them. Amen, Amen, Selah.

A Psalm of David. 91
The one who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty;
Who says of YHWH, "My refuge and my fortress, my God is the constant one in whom I can trust."
For he will deliver you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will rest;
His faithfulness upon you is a shield and his truth is a buckler.
Selah.
You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day; nor the plague that destroys at noon, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness.
A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not strike you.
You will merely look on with your eyes and see the recompense of the wicked. For you have invoked your shelter for his delight.
You will see no harm, and no disaster will strike in your tents.
For he will give orders to his angels concerning you, to guard you in all your ways. In their hands they will lift you up, so that you do not strike your foot against a stone.
You will tread on the cobra and the viper; you will trample underfoot the strong lion and the serpent.
Because you delight in YHWH he will rescue you and make you secure and will show you his victory. Selah. Then they will answer, "Amen, Amen."
Selah.

Catena (11QPsa,.)
Give thanks to YHWH, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!
Listen to the shouts of joy and victory in the tents of the righteous:
"YHWH's right hand has done mighty things,
YHWH's right hand is lifted high, the YHWH's right hand has gained victory!"
It is better to have confidence in YHWH than to put confidence in humans.
It is better to take refuge in YHWH than to put confidence in princes.
It is better to trust in YHWH than to put confidence in a thousand people!
Give thanks to YHWH, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures for ever!
Praise the trust in YHWH!
