26:15 You have made the nation larger,
you have made the nation larger and revealed your splendor,
you have extended all the borders of the land.
45:22 Turn to me so you can be delivered,
all you who live in the earth’s remote regions!
For I am God, and I have no peer.
45:23 I solemnly make this oath
what I say is true and reliable:
‘Surely every knee will bow to me,
every tongue will solemnly affirm;
45:24 they will say about me,
“Yes, the Lord is a powerful deliverer.”’”
All who are angry at him will cower before him.
45:25 All the descendants of Israel will be vindicated by the Lord
and will boast in him.
52:10 The Lord reveals
in the sight of all the nations;
the entire
our God deliver.
2:8 Ask me,
and I will give you the nations as your inheritance,
the ends of the earth as your personal property.
22:27 Let all the people of the earth acknowledge the Lord and turn to him!
Let all the nations
22:28 For the Lord is king
and rules over the nations.
22:29 All of the thriving people
all those who are descending into the grave
including those who cannot preserve their lives.
22:30 A whole generation
they will tell the next generation about the sovereign Lord.
22:31 They will come and tell about his saving deeds;
they will tell a future generation what he has accomplished.
67:7 May God bless us!
Then all the ends of the earth will give him the honor he deserves.
72:8 May he rule
and from the Euphrates River
72:9 Before him the coastlands
and his enemies will lick the dust.
72:10 The kings of Tarshish
the kings of Sheba
72:11 All kings will bow down to him;
all nations will serve him.
98:3 He remains loyal and faithful to the family of Israel.
All the ends of the earth see our God deliver us.
Book 5
(Psalms 107-150)
107:1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,
and his loyal love endures!
107:2 Let those delivered by the Lord speak out,
those whom he delivered
107:3 and gathered from foreign lands,
from east and west,
from north and south.
107:4 They wandered through the wilderness on a desert road;
they found no city in which to live.
107:5 They were hungry and thirsty;
they fainted from exhaustion.
107:6 They cried out to the Lord in their distress;
he delivered them from their troubles.
107:7 He led them on a level road,
that they might find a city in which to live.
107:8 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his loyal love,
and for the amazing things he has done for people!
107:9 For he has satisfied those who thirst,
and those who hunger he has filled with food.
107:10 They sat in utter darkness,
bound in painful iron chains,
107:11 because they had rebelled against God’s commands,
and rejected the instructions of the sovereign king.
107:12 So he used suffering to humble them;
they stumbled and no one helped them up.
107:13 They cried out to the Lord in their distress;
he delivered them from their troubles.
107:14 He brought them out of the utter darkness,
and tore off their shackles.
107:15 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his loyal love,
and for the amazing things he has done for people!
107:16 For he shattered the bronze gates,
and hacked through the iron bars.
107:17 They acted like fools in their rebellious ways,
and suffered because of their sins.
107:18 They lost their appetite for all food,
and they drew near the gates of death.
107:19 They cried out to the Lord in their distress;
he delivered them from their troubles.
107:20 He sent them an assuring word
he rescued them from the pits where they were trapped.
107:21 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his loyal love,
and for the amazing things he has done for people!
107:22 Let them present thank offerings,
and loudly proclaim what he has done!
107:23
and carried cargo over the vast waters.
107:24 They witnessed the acts of the Lord,
his amazing feats on the deep water.
107:25 He gave the order for a windstorm,
and it stirred up the waves of the sea.
107:26 They
then dropped into the depths.
The sailors’ strength
107:27 They swayed
and all their skill proved ineffective.
107:28 They cried out to the Lord in their distress;
he delivered them from their troubles.
107:29 He calmed the storm,
and the waves
107:30 The sailors
and he led them to the harbor
107:31 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his loyal love,
and for the amazing things he has done for people!
107:32 Let them exalt him in the assembly of the people!
Let them praise him in the place where the leaders preside!
107:33 He turned
springs of water into arid land,
107:34 and a fruitful land into a barren place,
because of the sin of its inhabitants.
107:35 As for his people,
and a dry land into springs of water.
107:36 He allowed the hungry to settle there,
and they established a city in which to live.
107:37 They cultivated
and planted vineyards,
which yielded a harvest of fruit.
107:38 He blessed
He would not allow their cattle to decrease in number.
107:39 As for their enemies,
because of painful distress
107:40 He would pour
and he made them wander in a wasteland with no road.
107:41 Yet he protected
and cared for his families like a flock of sheep.
107:42 When the godly see this, they rejoice,
and every sinner
107:43 Whoever is wise, let him take note of these things!
Let them consider the Lord’s acts of loyal love!
5:4 He will assume his post
by the sovereign authority of the Lord his God.
They will live securely,
even in the distant regions of
