1 Oh fear Jehovah, ye his saints;
2 For there is no want to them that fear him.
3 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger;
4 But they that seek Jehovah shall not want any good thing.
5 Come, ye children, hearken unto me:
6 I will teach you the fear of Jehovah.
7 What man is he that desireth life,
8 And loveth
9 many days, that he may see good?
10 Keep thy tongue from evil,

1 Unto thee we give thanks, OGod, we give thanks; and thy name is near: thy marvellous works declare it.
2 When I shall receive the assembly, I will judge with equity.
3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I have established its pillars. Selah.
4 I said unto the boastful, Boast not; and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:
5 Lift not up your horn on high; speak not arrogantly with a [stiff] neck.
6 For not from the east nor from the west, nor yet from the south doth exaltation [come]:
7 ForGod is the judge; he putteth down one and exalteth another.
8 For in the hand of Jehovah there is a cup, and it foameth with wine, it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same; yea, the dregs thereof shall all the wicked of the earth drain off, [and] drink.
9 But as for me, I will declare for ever; I will sing psalms to theGod of Jacob.
10 And all the horns of the wicked will I cut off; [but] the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.

1 For the end, among the Hymns, a Psalm for Asaph; a Song for the Assyrian.
2 God is known in Judea; his name is great in Israel.
3 And his place has been in peace, and his dwelling-place in Sion.
4 There he broke the power of the bows, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Pause.
5 Thou dost wonderfully shine forth from the everlasting mountains.
6 All the simple ones in heart were troubled; all the men of wealth have slept their sleep, and have found nothing in their hands.
7 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, the riders on horses slumbered.
8 Thou art terrible; and who shall withstand thee, because of thine anger?
9 Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,
10 when God arose to judgment, to save all the meek in heart. Pause.
11 For the inward thought of man shall give thanks to thee: and the memorial of his inward thought shall keep a feast to thee.
12 Vow, and pay [your vows] to the Lord our God; all that are round about him shall bring gifts, [even] to him that is terrible,
13 and that takes away the spirits of princes; to him that is terrible among the kings of the earth.

1 In finem, in Laudibus, Psalmus Asaph, Canticum ad Assyrios.
2 Notus in Iudæa Deus: in Israel magnum nomen eius.
3 Et factus est in pace locus eius: et habitatio eius in Sion.
4 Ibi confregit potentias arcuum, scutum, gladium, et bellum.
5 Illuminans tu mirabiliter a montibus æternis:
6 turbati sunt omnes insipientes corde. Dormierunt somnum suum: et nihil invenerunt omnes viri divitiarum in manibus suis.
7 Ab increpatione tua Deus Iacob dormitaverunt qui ascenderunt equos.
8 Tu terribilis es, et quis resistet tibi? ex tunc ira tua.
9 De cælo auditum fecisti iudicium: terra tremuit et quievit,
10 Cum exurgeret in iudicium Deus, ut salvos faceret omnes mansuetos terræ.
11 Quoniam cogitatio hominis confitebitur tibi: et reliquiæ cogitationis diem festum agent tibi.
12 Vovete, et reddite Domino Deo vestro: omnes qui in circuitu eius affertis munera. Terribili
13 et ei qui aufert spiritum principum, terribili apud reges terræ.

1 For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Psalm by Asaph. A song. We give thanks to you, God. We give thanks, for your Name is near. Men tell about your wondrous works.
2 When I choose the appointed time, I will judge blamelessly.
3 The earth and all its inhabitants quake. I firmly hold its pillars. Selah.
4 I said to the arrogant, “Don’t boast!” I said to the wicked, “Don’t lift up the horn.
5 Don’t lift up your horn on high. Don’t speak with a stiff neck.”
6 For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the south, comes exaltation.
7 But God is the judge. He puts down one, and lifts up another.
8 For in the LORD’s hand there is a cup, full of foaming wine mixed with spices. He pours it out. Indeed the wicked of the earth drink and drink it to its very dregs.
9 But I will declare this forever: I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10 I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.

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).
