1 [Selah
2 The righteous also shall see
3 it, and fear,
4 And shall laugh at him,
5 saying,
6 Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength,
7 But trusted in the abundance of his riches,
8 And strengthened himself in his wickedness.
9 But as for me, I am like a green olive-tree in the house of God:
10 I trust in the lovingkindness of God for ever and ever.
11 I will give thee thanks for ever, because thou hast done it;
12 And I will hope in thy name, for it is good, in the presence of thy saints.
13 For the Chief Musician; set to Mahalath. Maschil of David.
14 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.
15 Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity;
16 There is none that doeth good.
17 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men,
18 To see if there were any that did understand,
19 That did seek after God.
20 Every one of them is gone back; they are together become filthy;
21 There is none that doeth good, no, not one.
22 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge,
23 Who eat up my people
24 as they eat bread,
25 And call not upon God?
26 There were they in great fear, where no fear was;
27 For God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee:
28 Thou hast put them to shame, because God hath rejected them.
29 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion!

1 Give ye thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.
2 Oh let Israel say, that his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.
3 Oh let the house of Aaron say, that his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.
4 Oh let them that fear Jehovah say, that his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.
5 I called upon Jah in distress; Jah answered me [and set me] in a large place.
6 Jehovah is for me, I will not fear; what can man do unto me?
7 Jehovah is for me among them that help me; and I shall see [my desire] upon them that hate me.
8 It is better to trust in Jehovah than to put confidence in man;
9 It is better to trust in Jehovah than to put confidence in nobles.
10 All nations encompassed me; but in the name of Jehovah have I destroyed them.
11 They encompassed me, yea, encompassed me; but in the name of Jehovah have I destroyed them.
12 They encompassed me like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of Jehovah have I destroyed them.
13 Thou hast thrust hard at me that I might fall; but Jehovah helped me.
14 My strength and song is Jah, and he is become my salvation.
15 The voice of triumph and salvation is in the tents of the righteous: the right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly;
16 The right hand of Jehovah is exalted, the right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly.
17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of Jah.
18 Jah hath chastened me sore; but he hath not given me over unto death.
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will enter into them; Jah will I praise.
20 This is the gate of Jehovah: the righteous shall enter therein.
21 I will give thee thanks, for thou hast answered me, and art become my salvation.
22 [The] stone which the builders rejected hath become the head of the corner:
23 This is of Jehovah; it is wonderful in our eyes.
24 This is the day that Jehovah hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
25 Oh save, Jehovah, I beseech thee; Jehovah, I beseech thee, oh send prosperity!
26 Blessed be he that cometh in the name of Jehovah. We have blessed you out of the house of Jehovah.
27 Jehovah isGod, and he hath given us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, — up to the horns of the altar.
28 Thou art myGod, and I will give thee thanks; myGod, I will exalt thee.
29 Give ye thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.

67 Before I was afflicted, I transgressed; therefore have I kept thy word.
68 Good art thou, O Lord; therefore in thy goodness teach me thine ordinances.
69 The injustice of the proud has been multiplied against me: but I will search out thy commandments with all my heart.

122 Receive thy servant for good: let not the proud accuse me falsely.
123 Mine eyes have failed for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness.
124 Deal with thy servant according to thy mercy, and teach me thine ordinances.
125 I am thy servant; instruct me, and I shall know thy testimonies.
126 [It is] time for the Lord to work: they have utterly broken thy law.
127 Therefore have I loved thy commandments more than gold, or the topaz.
128 Therefore I directed myself [according] to all thy commandments: I have hated every unjust way.
129 Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore my soul has sought them out.
130 The manifestation of thy words will enlighten, and instruct the simple.
131 I opened my mouth, and drew breath: for I earnestly longed after thy commandments.
132 Look upon me and have mercy upon me, after the manner of them that love thy name.
133 Order my steps according to thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
134 Deliver me from the false accusation of men: so will I keep thy commandments.
135 Cause thy face to shine upon thy servant: and teach me thine ordinances.

139 Thy zeal has quite wasted me: because mine enemies have forgotten thy words.
140 Thy word [has been] very fully tried; and thy servant loves it.
141 I am young and despised: [yet] I have not forgotten thine ordinances.
142 Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is truth.
143 Afflictions and distresses found me: [but] thy commandments [were] my meditation.
144 Thy testimonies [are] an everlasting righteousness: instruct me, and I shall live.
145 I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O Lord: I will search out thine ordinances.
146 I cried to thee; save me, and I will keep thy testimonies.
147 I arose before the dawn, and cried: I hoped in thy words.
148 Mine eyes prevented the dawn, that I might meditate on thine oracles.
149 Hear my voice, O Lord, according to thy mercy; quicken me according to thy judgment.
150 They have drawn nigh who persecuted me unlawfully; and they are far removed from thy law.
151 Thou art near, O Lord; and all thy ways are truth.
152 I have known of old concerning thy testimonies, that thou hast founded them for ever.

169 Let my supplication come near before thee, O Lord; instruct me according to thine oracle.
170 Let my petition come in before thee, O Lord; deliver me according to thine oracle.
171 Let my lips utter a hymn, when thou shalt have taught me thine ordinances.
172 Let my tongue utter thine oracles; for all thy commandments are righteous.
173 Let thine hand be [prompt] to save me; for I have chosen thy commandments.

Explanations by Age Level

Explain Like I'm 5

A long, long time ago, there was nothing at all - no earth, no sky, no animals, no people. It was all dark and empty. But God was there! God is so powerful that He can make anything just by speaking. So God said "Let there be light!" and BOOM! There was light everywhere! God saw that the light was beautiful and good. He called the light "day" and the darkness "night." This was the very first day when God started making our wonderful world!

Explain Like I'm 10

Before anything existed - no planets, stars, or life - God decided to create the universe. The earth started out as a dark, empty place covered with water. But God's Spirit was there, ready to bring order and beauty to everything. When God spoke and said "Let there be light," light immediately appeared because God's words have incredible power. God looked at the light and was pleased with what He had made. He organized time by separating light (day) from darkness (night), creating the first 24-hour period. This shows us that God is organized and purposeful in everything He does.

Explain Like I'm 15

Genesis 1:1-5 establishes fundamental theological truths about God and creation. The Hebrew word "bara" (created) indicates creation from nothing (ex nihilo), demonstrating God's absolute sovereignty and power. The phrase "without form and void" (tohu wa-bohu) describes a state of chaos that God transforms into order. The Spirit of God "hovering" or "brooding" over the waters suggests active, caring involvement in creation. The creation of light before the sun (created on day 4) indicates that God Himself is the ultimate source of light and energy. The establishment of day and night creates the framework of time, showing that God operates within orderly patterns while transcending them. This passage refutes both atheistic materialism and pantheism, establishing that God is both transcendent (separate from creation) and immanent (actively involved in it).
