'"`UNIQ--named-00000002-QINU`"'3 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away; as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of G-d.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000003-QINU`"'4 But let the righteous be glad, let them exult before G-d; yea, let them rejoice with gladness.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000004-QINU`"'5 Sing unto G-d, sing praises to His name; extol Him that rideth upon the skies, whose name is HaShem; and exult ye before Him.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000005-QINU`"'6 A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is G-d in His holy habitation.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000006-QINU`"'7 G-d maketh the solitary to dwell in a house; He bringeth out the prisoners into prosperity; the rebellious dwell but in a parched land.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000007-QINU`"'8 O G-d, when Thou wentest forth before Thy people, when Thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah
'"`UNIQ--named-00000008-QINU`"'9 The earth trembled, the heavens also dropped at the presence of G-d; even yon Sinai trembled at the presence of G-d, the G-d of Israel.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000009-QINU`"'10 A bounteous rain didst Thou pour down, O G-d; when Thine inheritance was weary, Thou didst confirm it.
'"`UNIQ--named-0000000A-QINU`"'11 Thy flock settled therein; Thou didst prepare in Thy goodness for the poor, O G-d.
'"`UNIQ--named-0000000B-QINU`"'12 The L-rd giveth the word; the women that proclaim the tidings are a great host.
'"`UNIQ--named-0000000C-QINU`"'13 Kings of armies flee, they flee; and she that tarrieth at home divideth the spoil.
'"`UNIQ--named-0000000D-QINU`"'14 When ye lie among the sheepfolds, the wings of the dove are covered with silver, and her pinions with the shimmer of gold.

'"`UNIQ--named-0000000F-QINU`"'16 A mountain of G-d is the mountain of Bashan; a mountain of peaks is the mountain of Bashan.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000010-QINU`"'17 Why look ye askance, ye mountains of peaks, at the mountain which G-d hath desired for His abode? Yea, HaShem will dwell therein for ever.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000011-QINU`"'18 The chariots of G-d are myriads, even thousands upon thousands; the L-rd is among them, as in Sinai, in holiness.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000012-QINU`"'19 Thou hast ascended on high, Thou hast led captivity captive; Thou hast received gifts among men, yea, among the rebellious also, that HaShem G-d might dwell there.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000013-QINU`"'20 Blessed be the L-rd, day by day He beareth our burden, even the G-d who is our salvation. Selah
'"`UNIQ--named-00000014-QINU`"'21 G-d is unto us a G-d of deliverances; and unto GOD the L-rd belong the issues of death.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000015-QINU`"'22 Surely G-d will smite through the head of His enemies, the hairy scalp of him that goeth about in his guiltiness.
