יִשׂרָאֵל

Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel.

A Song of degrees. Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:

Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.

And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever.

For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure.

And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people.

Bless the LORD, O house of Israel: bless the LORD, O house of Aaron:

And brought out Israel from among them: for his mercy endureth for ever:

And made Israel to pass through the midst of it: for his mercy endureth for ever:

Even an heritage unto Israel his servant: for his mercy endureth for ever.

The LORD doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.

He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.

He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the LORD.

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;

I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.

Behold his bed, which is Solomon's; threescore valiant men are about it, of the valiant of Israel.

The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.

Therefore saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies:

In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel.

For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.

That say, Let him make speed, and hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it!
