Thus He remembered that they were but flesh,A wind that goes and does not return.

He leveled a path for His anger;He did not hold back their soul from death,But gave over their life to the plague,

But He led forth His own people like sheepAnd guided them in the wilderness like a flock;

He led them safely, so that they did not fear;But the sea covered their enemies.

But turned back and acted treacherously like their fathers;They turned aside like a treacherous bow.

But chose the tribe of Judah,Mount Zion which He loved.

But as for us, as Your people and the sheep of Your pasture,We will give thanks to You forever;From generation to generation we will recount Your praise.

"But My people did not listen to My voice,And Israel was not willing to obey Me.

But I would feed you with the finest of the wheat,And with honey from the rock I would satisfy you."

Let me hear what the God, Yahweh, will speak;For He will speak peace to His people, to His holy ones;But let them not turn back to folly.

But You, O Lord, are a God compassionate and gracious,Slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness and truth.

But of Zion it shall be said, "This one and that one were born in her";And the Most High Himself will establish her.

But as for me, O Yahweh, I have cried out to You for help,And in the morning my prayer comes before You.

But I shall crush his adversaries before him,And strike those who hate him.

But I will not break off My lovingkindness from him,Nor deal falsely in My faithfulness.

But You have cast off and rejected,You have been full of wrath against Your anointed.

As for the days of our life, they contain seventy years,Or if due to might, eighty years,Yet their pride is but labor and wickedness;For soon it is gone and we fly away.

A thousand may fall at your sideAnd ten thousand at your right hand,But it shall not approach you.

But You are on high forever, O Yahweh.

But You have raised up my horn like that of the wild ox;I have been anointed with fresh oil.
