Psalms 118 1 Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever. [1] 15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous. “The right hand of Yahweh does valiantly. 16 The right hand of Yahweh is exalted! The right hand of Yahweh does valiantly!” [2]
Psalms 141 10 Let the wicked fall together into their own nets, while I pass by.
Psalms 133 A Song of Ascents. By David. 1 See how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to live together in unity! 2 It is like the precious oil on the head, that ran down on the beard, even Aaron’s beard; that came down on the edge of his robes; 3 like the dew of Hermon, that comes down on the hills of Zion: for
there Yahweh
gives the
blessing
Psalms 144 By David. 1 Blessed be Yahweh, my rock, who teaches my hands to war, and my fingers to battle: 2 my loving kindness, my fortress, my high tower, my deliverer, my shield, and he in whom I take refuge; who subdues my people under me. [..] 4 Man is like a breath. His days are like a shadow that passes away. [..] Psalms 109 2 for they have opened the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit against me. They have spoken to me with a lying tongue. 3 They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, and fought against me without a cause. 4 In return for my love, they are my adversaries; but I am in prayer.
