¹ <To the chief music-maker; put to Shoshannim-eduth. Of Asaph. A Psalm.> Give ear, O Keeper of Israel, guiding Joseph like a flock; you who have your seat on the winged ones, let your glory be seen.

¹ The Lord is King; let the peoples be in fear: his seat is on the winged ones; let the earth be moved.

²⁰ You were guiding your people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

² From Zion, most beautiful of places, God has sent out his light.

² And David, and all the people who were with him, went to Baal of Judah to get the ark of God, over which the holy name is named, the name of the Lord of armies, whose place is between the winged ones.

⁴ So the people sent to Shiloh and got the ark of the agreement of the Lord of armies whose resting-place is between the winged ones; and Hophni and Phinehas, the two sons of Eli, were there with the ark of God's agreement.

² And there was the glory of the God of Israel coming from the way of the east: and his voice was like the sound of great waters, and the earth was shining with his glory.

²³ And I will put over them one keeper, and he will give them food, even my servant David; he will give them food and be their keeper.

⁴ And the glory of the Lord went up from the winged ones and came to rest over the doorstep of the house; and the house was full of the cloud and the open square was full of the shining of the Lord's glory.

¹³ And between the living beings it was like burning coals of fire, as if flames were going one after the other between the living beings; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went thunder-flames.

¹¹ Then the early days came to their minds, the days of Moses his servant: and they said, Where is he who made the keeper of his flock come up from the sea? where is he who put his holy spirit among them,

¹⁷ And now, give ear, O our God, to the prayer of your servant and to his request for grace, and let your face be shining on your holy place which is made waste, because of your servants, O Lord.

³ The porter lets him in; and the sheep give ear to his voice; he says over the names of the sheep, and takes them out.

⁴ When he has got them all out, he goes before them, and the sheep go after him, for they have knowledge of his voice.

¹⁴ I am the good keeper; I have knowledge of my sheep, and they have knowledge of me,

²⁰ Now may the God of peace, who made that great keeper of his flock, even our Lord Jesus, come back from the dead through the blood of the eternal agreement,

²⁵ Because, like sheep, you had gone out of the way; but now you have come back to him who keeps watch over your souls.

⁴ And at the coming of the chief Keeper of the sheep, you will be given the eternal crown of glory.

²³ And the town has no need of the sun, or of the moon, to give it light: for the glory of God did make it light, and the light of it is the Lamb.

¹ Up! let your face be bright, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord is shining on you.

⁹ Saying to those who are in chains, Go free; to those who are in the dark, Come out into the light. They will get food by the way wherever they go, and have grass-lands on all the dry mountain-tops.

¹⁰ They will not be in need of food or drink, or be troubled by the heat or the sun: for he who has mercy on them will be their guide, taking them by the springs of water.

² He said, The Lord came from Sinai, dawning on them from Seir; shining out from Mount Paran, coming from Meribath Kadesh: from his right hand went flames of fire: his wrath made waste the peoples.

¹⁵ And Hezekiah made his prayer to the Lord, saying, O Lord, the God of Israel, seated between the winged ones, you only are the God of all the kingdoms of the earth; you have made heaven and earth.

³ What profit is it to you to be cruel, to give up the work of your hands, looking kindly on the design of evil-doers?

¹ <To the chief music-maker on wind instruments. A Psalm. Of David.> Give ear to my words, O Lord; give thought to my heart-searchings.

¹ <A Psalm. Of David.> The Lord takes care of me as his sheep; I will not be without any good thing.

² He makes a resting-place for me in the green fields: he is my guide by the quiet waters.

¹ <To the chief music-maker; put to Shoshannim. Of the sons of Korah. Maschil. A Song of loves.> My heart is flowing over with good things; my words are of that which I have made for a king; my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

¹ <To the chief music-maker, on Neginoth. Maschil. Of David.> Give hearing to my prayer, O God; and let not your ear be shut against my request.

¹ <To the chief music-maker; put to Shushan-eduth. Michtam. Of David. For teaching. When he was fighting against Aram-naharaim and Aramzobah, when Joab came back, and put twelve thousand of the Edomites to death, in the Valley of Salt.> God, you have put us away from you, you have sent us in all directions, you have been angry; O be turned to us again.

¹ <To the chief music-maker; put to Shoshannim. Of David.> Be my saviour, O God; because the waters have come in, even to my neck.

⁵² But he took his people out like sheep, guiding them in the waste land like a flock.

⁶⁷ And he put the tent of Joseph on one side, and took not the tribe of Ephraim;

³ Take us back again, O God; let us see the shining of your face, and let us be safe.

⁷ Take us back again, O God of armies; let us see the shining of your face, and let us be safe.

¹⁹ Take us back, O Lord God of armies; let us see the shining of your face, and let us be safe.

¹ O God, in whose hands is punishment, O God of punishment, let your shining face be seen.

¹¹ He will give food to his flock like a keeper of sheep; with his arm he will get it together, and will take up the lambs on his breast, gently guiding those which are with young.

²⁰ And their wings are to be outstretched over the cover, and the winged ones are to be opposite one another, facing the cover.

²¹ And put the cover over the ark, and in the ark the record which I will give you.

²² And there, between the two winged ones on the cover of the ark, I will come to you, face to face, and make clear to you all the orders I have to give you for the children of Israel.
