¹⁵ Look attentively from the heavens, And see from Thy holy and beauteous habitation, Where `is' Thy zeal and Thy might? The multitude of Thy bowels and Thy mercies Towards me have refrained themselves.

¹⁵ look from Thy holy habitation, from the heavens, and bless Thy people Israel, and the ground which Thou hast given to us, as Thou hast sworn to our fathers -- a land flowing `with' milk and honey.

⁸ How do I give thee up, O Ephraim? Do I deliver thee up, O Israel? How do I make thee as Admah? Do I set thee as Zeboim? Turned in Me is My heart, kindled together have been My repentings.

²⁰ A precious son is Ephraim to Me? A child of delights? For since My speaking against him, I do thoroughly remember him still, Therefore have My bowels been moved for him, I do greatly love him, An affirmation of Jehovah.

¹ A Song of the Ascents. Unto Thee I have lifted up mine eyes, O dweller in the heavens.

¹⁴ God of Hosts, turn back, we beseech Thee, Look from heaven, and see, and inspect this vine,

¹⁴ From the fixed place of His dwelling, He looked unto all inhabitants of the earth;

¹ Thus said Jehovah: The heavens `are' My throne, And the earth My footstool, Where `is' this -- the house that ye build for Me? And where `is' this -- the place -- My rest?

⁵⁰ Till Jehovah looketh and seeth from the heavens,

⁷⁸ Through the tender mercies of our God, In which the rising from on high did look upon us,

¹ If, then, any exhortation `is' in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of spirit, if any bowels and mercies,

¹⁷ and whoever may have the goods of the world, and may view his brother having need, and may shut up his bowels from him -- how doth the love of God remain in him?

⁹ In all their distress `He is' no adversary, And the messenger of His presence saved them, In His love and in His pity He redeemed them, And He doth lift them up, And beareth them all the days of old.

¹⁷ And He putteth on righteousness as a breastplate, And an helmet of salvation on His head, And He putteth on garments of vengeance `for' clothing, And is covered, as `with' an upper-robe, `with' zeal.

¹⁵ For thus said the high and exalted One, Inhabiting eternity, and holy `is' His name: `In the high and holy place I dwell, And with the bruised and humble of spirit, To revive the spirit of the humble, And to revive the heart of bruised ones,'

²⁷ and the priests, the Levites, rise and bless the people, and their voice is heard, and their prayer cometh in to His holy habitation, to the heavens.

⁶ Remember Thy mercies, O Jehovah, And Thy kindnesses, for from the age `are' they.

⁷ To the ages doth the Lord cast off? Doth He add to be pleased no more?

⁸ Hath His kindness ceased for ever? The saying failed to all generations?

⁹ Hath God forgotten `His' favours? Hath He shut up in anger His mercies? Selah.

⁴⁹ Where `are' Thy former kindnesses, O Lord. Thou hast sworn to David in Thy faithfulness,

¹⁹ For He hath looked From the high place of His sanctuary. Jehovah from heaven unto earth looked attentively,

²⁰ To hear the groan of the prisoner, To loose sons of death,

⁵ Who `is' as Jehovah our God, He is exalting `Himself' to sit?

⁶ He is humbling `Himself' to look On the heavens and on the earth.

⁷ To the increase of the princely power, And of peace, there is no end, On the throne of David, and on his kingdom, To establish it, and to support it, In judgment and in righteousness, Henceforth, even unto the age, The zeal of Jehovah of Hosts doth this.

¹¹ O Jehovah, high `is' Thy hand -- they see not, They see the zeal of the people, and are ashamed, Also, the fire -- Thine adversaries, consumeth them.

¹⁵ Forget doth a woman her suckling, The loved one -- the son of her womb? Yea, these forget -- but I -- I forget not thee.

⁹ Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of Jehovah, Awake, as `in' days of old, generations of the ages, Art not Thou it that is hewing down Rahab, Piercing a dragon!

¹⁰ Art not Thou it that is drying up a sea, Waters of a great deep? That hath made deep places of a sea A way for the passing of the redeemed?

²⁷ But, is it true? -- God dwelleth on the earth! lo, the heavens, and the heavens of the heavens do not contain Thee, how much less this house which I have builded!
