Give us help, O God of our salvation, for the glory of your name; take us out of danger and give us forgiveness for our sins, because of your name.
So will we not be turned back from you; keep us in life, and we will give praise to your name.
They have said, Come, let us put an end to them as a nation; so that the name of Israel may go out of man's memory.
Let their faces be full of shame; so that they may give honour to your name, O Lord.
So that men may see that you only, whose name is Yahweh, are Most High over all the earth.
Let all the nations whom you have made come and give worship to you, O Lord, giving glory to your name.
Make your way clear to me, O Lord; I will go on my way in your faith: let my heart be glad in the fear of your name.
I will give you praise, O Lord my God, with all my heart; I will give glory to your name for ever.
Rahab and babylon will be named among those who have knowledge of me; see, Philistia and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man had his birth there.
You have made the north and the south; Tabor and Hermon are sounding with joy at your name.
In your name will they have joy all the day: in your righteousness will they be lifted up.
But my faith and my mercy will be with him; and in my name will his horn be lifted up.
I have made an oath once by my holy name, that I will not be false to David.
Because he has given me his love, I will take him out of danger: I will put him in a place of honour, because he has kept my name in his heart.
<A Psalm. A song for the Sabbath.> It is a good thing to give praise to the Lord, and to make melody to your name, O Most High;
Make songs to the Lord, blessing his name; give the good news of his salvation day by day.
Give to the Lord the glory of his name; take with you an offering and come into his house.
Be glad in the Lord, you upright men; praising the memory of his holy name.
Let them give praise to your name, for it is great and to be feared; holy is he.
Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among those who gave honour to his name; they made prayers to the Lord, and he gave answers to them.
Come into his doors with joy, and into his house with praise; give him honour, blessing his name.
My haters say evil of me all day; those who are violent against me make use of my name as a curse.
But you, O Lord, are eternal; and your name will never come to an end.
So the nations will give honour to the name of the Lord, and all the kings of the earth will be in fear of his glory:
So that they may give out the name of the Lord in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;
<Of David.> Give praise to the Lord, O my soul; let everything in me give praise to his holy name.
O give praise to the Lord; give honour to his name, talking of his doings among the peoples.
Have glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who are searching after the Lord be glad.
But he was their saviour because of his name, so that men might see his great power.
Be our saviour, O Lord our God, and let us come back together from among the nations, so that we may give honour to your holy name, and have glory in your praise.
Let his seed be cut off; in the coming generation let their name go out of memory.
But, O Lord God, give me your help, because of your name; take me out of danger, because your mercy is good.
He has sent salvation to his people; he has given his word for ever: holy is his name and greatly to be feared.
Let the Lord be praised. O you servants of the Lord, give praise to the name of the Lord.
Let blessing be on the name of the Lord, from this time and for ever.
From the coming up of the sun to its going down, the Lord's name is to be praised.
Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name let glory be given, because of your mercy and your unchanging faith.
I will take the cup of salvation, and give praise to the name of the Lord.
I will give an offering of praise to you, and make my prayer in the name of the Lord.
All the nations have come round me; but in the name of the Lord I will have them cut down.
They are round me, yes, they are all about me; but in the name of the Lord I will have them cut down.
They are round me like bees; but they are put out like a fire among thorns; for in the name of the Lord I will have them cut down.
A blessing be on him who comes in the name of the Lord; we give you blessing from the house of the Lord.
You are my God, and I will give you praise; my God, and I will give honour to your name.
I have given thought to your name in the night, O Lord, and have kept your law.
Let your eyes be turned to me, and have mercy on me, as it is right for you to do to those who are lovers of your name.
To which the tribes went up, even the tribes of the Lord, for a witness to Israel, to give praise to the name of the Lord.
Our help is in the name of the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.
And those who go by do not say, The blessing of the Lord be on you; we give you blessing in the name of the Lord.
Let the Lord be praised. O you servants of the Lord, give praise to the name of the Lord.
Give praise to Jah, for he is good: make melody to his name, for it is pleasing.
O Lord, your name is eternal; and the memory of you will have no end.
I will give worship before your holy Temple, praising your name for your mercy and for your unchanging faith: for you have made your word greater than all your name.
For they go against you with evil designs, and your haters make sport of your name.

My mouth will give praise to the Lord; let all flesh be blessing his holy name for ever and ever.
He sees the number of the stars; he gives them all their names.
Let them give praise to the name of the Lord: for he gave the order, and they were made.
Let them give glory to the name of the Lord: for his name only is to be praised: his kingdom is over the earth and the heaven.
Let them give praise to his name in the dance: let them make melody to him with instruments of brass and corded instruments of music.
For they will be a crown of grace for your head, and chain-ornaments about your neck.
So you will have grace and a good name in the eyes of God and men.
Say to wisdom, You are my sister; let knowledge be named your special friend:
He who gives teaching to a man of pride gets shame for himself; he who says sharp words to a sinner gets a bad name.
The memory of the upright is a blessing, but the name of the evil-doer will be turned to dust.
The upright man is a hater of false words: the evil-doer gets a bad name and is put to shame.
The wise-hearted will be named men of good sense: and by pleasing words learning is increased.
The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the upright man running into it is safe.
The ornament of a man is his mercy, and a poor man is better than one who is false.
He who is violent to his father, driving away his mother, is a son causing shame and a bad name.
The man of pride, lifted up in soul, is named high-hearted; he is acting in an outburst of pride.
A good name is more to be desired than great wealth, and to be respected is better than silver and gold.
He whose purposes are bad will be named a man of evil designs.
Like a nose-ring of gold and an ornament of the best gold, is a wise man who says sharp words to an ear ready to give attention.
He who keeps secret the secret of his friend, will get himself a name for good faith.
Who has gone up to heaven and come down? who has taken the winds in his hands, prisoning the waters in his robe? by whom have all the ends of the earth been fixed? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if you are able to say?
For fear that if I am full, I may be false to you and say, Who is the Lord? or if I am poor, I may become a thief, using the name of my God wrongly.
In wind it came and to the dark it will go, and with the dark will its name be covered.
That which is, has been named before, and of what man is there is knowledge. He has no power against one stronger than he.
A good name is better than oil of great price, and the day of death than the day of birth.
Sweet is the smell of your perfumes; your name is as perfume running out; so the young girls give you their love.
We will make you chains of gold with ornaments of silver.
I made the door open to my loved one; but my loved one had taken himself away, and was gone, my soul was feeble when his back was turned on me; I went after him, but I did not come near him; I said his name, but he gave me no answer.
His hands are as rings of gold ornamented with beryl-stones; his body is as a smooth plate of ivory covered with sapphires.
And I will give you judges again as at the first, and wise guides as in the past; then you will be named, The Town of Righteousness, the true town.
In that day the Lord will take away the glory of their foot-rings, and their sun-jewels, and their moon-ornaments,
And in the place of sweet spices will be an evil smell, and for a fair band a thick cord; for a well-dressed head there will be the cutting-off of the hair, and for a beautiful robe there will be the clothing of sorrow; the mark of the prisoner in place of the ornaments of the free.
And in that day seven women will put their hands on one man, saying, There will be no need for you to give us food or clothing, only let us go under your name, so that our shame may be taken away.
And it will come about that the rest of the living in Zion, and of those who have been kept from destruction in Jerusalem, will be named holy, even everyone who has been recorded for life in Jerusalem:
Cursed are those who give the name of good to evil, and of evil to what is good: who make light dark, and dark light: who make bitter sweet, and sweet bitter!
For this cause the Lord himself will give you a sign; a young woman is now with child, and she will give birth to a son, and she will give him the name Immanuel.
And I went in to my wife, and she became with child, and gave birth to a son. Then the Lord said to me, Give him the name Maher-shalal-hash-baz,
For to us a child has come, to us a son is given; and the government has been placed in his hands; and he has been named wise Guide, Strong God, Father for ever, prince of Peace.
And in that day you will say, Give praise to the Lord, let his name be honoured, give word of his doings among the peoples, say that his name is lifted up.
For I will come up against them, says the Lord of armies, cutting off from babylon name and offspring, son and son's son, says the Lord.
In that time an offering will be made to the Lord of armies from a people tall and smooth, causing fear through all their history; a strong nation, crushing down its haters, whose land is cut through by rivers, an offering taken to the place of the name of the Lord of armies, even Mount Zion.
And the land of Judah will become a cause of great fear to Egypt; whenever its name comes to mind, Egypt will be in fear before the Lord of armies because of his purpose against it.
In that day there will be five towns in the land of Egypt using the language of Canaan, and making oaths to the Lord of armies; and one of them will be named, The Town of the Sun.
Give praise to the Lord in the east, to the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, in the sea-lands.
O Lord, you are my God; I will give praise to you, I will give honour to your name; for you have done great acts of power; your purposes in the past have been made true and certain in effect.
We have been waiting for you, O Lord; the desire of our soul is for the memory of your name.
O Lord, our God, other lords than you have had rule over us; but in you only is our salvation, and no other name will we take on our lips.
In that day will the Lord of armies be a crown of glory, and a fair ornament, to the rest of his people;
But when they, the children of Jacob, see the work of my hands among them, they will give honour to my name; yes, they will give honour to the Holy One of Jacob, and go in fear of the God of Israel.
For they have all come with offerings to a people of no use to them, in whom is no help or profit, but only shame and a bad name.
See, the name of the Lord is coming from far, burning with his wrath, with thick smoke going up: his lips are full of passion, and his tongue is like a burning fire:
The foolish man will no longer be named noble, and they will not say of the false man that he is a man of honour.
And a highway will be there; its name will be, The holy Way; the unclean and the sinner may not go over it, and those who go on it will not be turned out of the way by the foolish.
Let your eyes be lifted up on high, and see: who has made these? He who sends out their numbered army: who has knowledge of all their names: by whose great strength, because he is strong in power, all of them are in their places.
I have sent for one from the north, and from the dawn he has come; in my name he will get rulers together and go against them; they will be like dust, even as the wet earth is stamped on by the feet of the potter.
I am the Lord; that is my name: I will not give my glory to another, or my praise to pictured images.
But now, says the Lord your Maker, O Jacob, and your life-giver, O Israel: have no fear, for I have taken up your cause; naming you by your name, I have made you mine.
Every one who is named by my name, and whom I have made for my glory, who has been formed and designed by me.
One will say, I am the Lord's; and another will give himself the name, Jacob; another will put a mark on his hand, I am the Lord's, and another will take the name of Israel for himself.
And I will give you the stores of the dark, and the wealth of secret places, so that you may be certain that I am the Lord, who gave you your name, even the God of Israel.
Because of Jacob my servant, and Israel whom I have taken for myself, I have sent for you by name, giving you a name of honour, though you had no knowledge of me.
Says the Lord who takes up our cause; the Lord of armies is his name, the Holy One of Israel.
Be seated in the dark without a word, O daughter of the Chaldaeans: for you will no longer be named, The queen of Kingdoms.
Give ear to this, O family of Jacob, you who are named by the name of Israel, and have come out of the body of Judah; who take oaths by the name of the Lord, and make use of the name of the God of Israel, but not truly and not in good faith.
For they say that they are of the holy town, and put their faith in the God of Israel: the Lord of armies is his name.
Because of my name I will put away my wrath, and for my praise I will keep myself from cutting you off.
For myself, even because of my name, I will do it; for I will not let my name be shamed; and my glory I will not give to another.
Your seed would have been like the sand, and your offspring like the dust: your name would not be cut off or come to an end before me.
Give ear, O sea-lands, to me; and take note, you peoples from far: I have been marked out by the Lord from the first; when I was still in my mother's body, he had my name in mind:
See, your name is marked on my hands; your walls are ever before me.
Let your eyes be lifted up round about, and see: they are all coming together to you. By my life, says the Lord, truly you will put them all on you as an ornament, and be clothed with them like a bride.
Who among you has the fear of the Lord, giving ear to the voice of his servant who has been walking in the dark and has no light? Let him put his faith in the name of the Lord, looking to his God for support.
For I am the Lord your God, who makes the sea calm when its waves are thundering: the Lord of armies is his name.
Now then, what have I here? says the Lord, for my people are taken away without cause; they are made waste and give cries of sorrow, says the Lord, and all the day the nations put shame on my name.
For this cause I will make my name clear to my people; in that day they will be certain that it is my word which comes to them; see, here am I.
For your maker is your husband; the Lord of armies is his name: and the holy One of Israel is he who takes up your cause; he will be named the God of all the earth.
In place of the thorn will come up the fir-tree, and in place of the blackberry the myrtle: and it will be to the Lord for a name, for an eternal sign which will not be cut off.
I will give to them in my house, and inside my walls, a place and a name better than that of sons and daughters; I will give them an eternal name which will not be cut off.
And as for those from a strange country, who are joined to the Lord, to give worship to him and honour to his name, to be his servants, even everyone who keeps the Sabbath holy, and keeps his agreement with me:
I will make them come to my holy mountain, and will give them joy in my house of prayer; I will take pleasure in the burned offerings which they make on my altar: for my house will be named a house of prayer for all peoples.
For this is the word of him who is high and lifted up, whose resting-place is eternal, whose name is Holy: my resting-place is in the high and holy place, and with him who is crushed and poor in spirit, to give life to the spirit of the poor, and to make strong the heart of the crushed.
And your sons will be building again the old waste places: you will make strong the bases of old generations: and you will be named, He who puts up the broken walls, and, He who makes ready the ways for use.
So they will see the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the east: for he will come like a rushing stream, forced on by a wind of the Lord.
Vessels of the sea-lands are waiting for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, so that your sons may come from far, and their silver and gold with them, to the place of the name of the Lord your God, and to the holy One of Israel, because he has made you beautiful.
And the sons of those who were cruel to you will come before you with bent heads; and those who made sport of you will go down on their faces at your feet; and you will be named, The Town of the Lord, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
Violent acts will no longer be seen in your land, wasting or destruction in your limits; but your walls will be named, Salvation, and your doors Praise.
To give them a fair head-dress in place of dust, the oil of joy in place of the clothing of grief, praise in place of sorrow; so that they may be named trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, and so that he may have glory.
But you will be named the priests of the Lord, the servants of our God: you will have the wealth of the nations for your food, and you will be clothed with their glory.
And the nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory: and you will have a new name, given by the mouth of the Lord.
You will not now be named, She who is given up; and your land will no longer be named, The waste land: but you will have the name, My pleasure is in her, and your land will be named, Married: for the Lord has pleasure in you, and your land will be married.
And they will be named, The holy people, Those whose cause has been taken up by the Lord: and you will be named, Desired, A town not given up.
He who made the arm of his glory go at the right hand of Moses, by whom the waters were parted before them, to make himself an eternal name;
Like the cattle which go down into the valley, they went without falling, the spirit of the Lord guiding them: so you went before your people, to make yourself a great name.
We have become as those who were never ruled by you, on whom your name was not named.
As when fire puts the brushwood in flames, or as when water is boiling from the heat of the fire: to make your name feared by your haters, so that the nations may be shaking before you;
And there is no one who makes prayer to your name, or who is moved to keep true to you: for your face is veiled from us, and you have given us into the power of our sins.
I have been ready to give an answer to those who did not make prayer to me; I have been offering myself to those who were not searching for me; I said, Here am I, here am I, to a nation which gave no respect to my name.
And your name will become a curse to my people, and the Lord God will put you to death, and give his servants another name:
So that he who is requesting a blessing will make use of the name of the true God, and he who takes an oath will do so by the true God; because the past troubles are gone out of mind, and because they are covered from my eyes.
Give ear to the word of the Lord, you who are in fear at his word: your countrymen, hating you, and driving you out because of my name, have said, Let the Lord's glory be made clear, so that we may see your joy; but they will be put to shame.
For as the new heaven and the new earth which I will make will be for ever before me, says the Lord, so will your seed and your name be for ever.
Is it possible for a virgin to put out of her memory her ornaments, or a bride her robes? but my people have put me out of their memories for unnumbered days.
At that time Jerusalem will be named the seat of the Lord's kingdom; and all the nations will come together to it, to the name of the Lord, to Jerusalem: and no longer will their steps be guided by the purposes of their evil hearts.
And you, when you are made waste, what will you do? Though you are clothed in red, though you make yourself beautiful with ornaments of gold, though you make your eyes wide with paint, it is for nothing that you make yourself fair; your lovers have no more desire for you, they have designs on your life.
They will be named waste silver, because the Lord has given them up.
And come and take your place before me in this house, which is named by my name, and say, We have been made safe; so that you may do all these disgusting things?
Has this house, which is named by my name, become a hole of thieves to you? Truly I, even I, have seen it, says the Lord.
But go now to my place which was in Shiloh, where I put my name at first, and see what I did to it because of the evil-doing of my people Israel.
For this reason I will do to the house which is named by my name, and in which you have put your faith, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.
For the children of Judah have done what is evil in my eyes, says the Lord: they have put their disgusting images in the house which is named by my name, making it unclean.
For this cause, the days are coming, says the Lord, when it will no longer be named Topheth, or, The valley of the son of Hinnom, but, The valley of Death: for they will put the dead into the earth in Topheth till there is no more room.
There is no one like you, O Lord; you are great and your name is great in power.
The heritage of Jacob is not like these; for the maker of all things is his heritage: the Lord of armies is his name.
Let your wrath be let loose on the nations which have no knowledge of you, and on the families who give no worship to your name: for they have made a meal of Jacob, truly they have made a meal of him and put an end to him and made his fields a waste.
You had been named by the Lord, A branching olive-tree, fair with beautiful fruit: with the noise of a great rushing he has put it on fire and its branches are broken.
But I was like a gentle lamb taken to be put to death; I had no thought that they were designing evil against me, saying, Come and let us make trouble his food, cutting him off from the land of the living, so that there may be no more memory of his name.
So this is what the Lord of armies has said about the men of Anathoth who have made designs against your life, saying, You are not to be a prophet in the name of the Lord, or death will overtake you by our hands:
And it will be that, if they give their minds to learning the ways of my people, using my name in their oaths, By the living Lord; as they have been teaching my people to take oaths by the Baal; then their place will be made certain among my people.
For as a band goes tightly round a man's body, so I made all the people of Israel and all the people of Judah tightly united to me; so that they might be a people for me and a name and a praise and a glory: but they would not give ear.
Though our sins give witness against us, do something, O Lord, for the honour of your name: for again and again we have been turned away from you, we have done evil against you.
Why are you like a man surprised, like a man of war who is not able to give help? but you, O Lord, are with us, and we are named by your name; do not go away from us.
Then the Lord said to me, The prophets say false words in my name, and I gave them no orders, and I said nothing to them: what they say to you is a false vision and wonder-working words without substance, the deceit of their hearts.
So this is what the Lord has said about the prophets who make use of my name, though I sent them not, and say, The sword and need of food will not be in this land: the sword and need of food will put an end to those prophets.
Do not be turned from us in disgust, because of your name; do not put shame on the seat of your glory: keep us in mind, let not your agreement with us be broken.
But to me your word is a joy, making my heart glad; for I am named by your name, O Lord God of armies.
For this reason, truly, I will make them see, this once I will give them knowledge of my hand and my power; and they will be certain that my name is the Lord.
For this cause, see, a time is coming, says the Lord, when this place will no longer be named Topheth, or, The valley of the son of Hinnom, but, The valley of Death.
Then on the day after, Pashhur let Jeremiah loose. Then Jeremiah said to him, The Lord has given you the name of Magor-missabib (Cause-of-fear-on-every-side), not Pashhur.
And if I say, I will not keep him in mind, I will not say another word in his name; then it is in my heart like a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am tired of keeping myself in, I am not able to do it.
In his days Judah will have salvation and Israel will be living without fear: and this is the name by which he will be named, The Lord is our righteousness.
My ears have been open to what the prophets have said, who say false words in my name, saying, I have had a dream, I have had a dream, I have had a dream,
Whose purpose is to take away the memory of my name from my people by their dreams, of which every man is talking to his neighbour, as their fathers gave up the memory of my name for the Baal.
And I will give you a name without honour for ever, and unending shame which will never go from the memory of men.
I will give them up to be a cause of fear and of trouble among all the kingdoms of the earth; to be a name of shame and common talk and a cutting word and a curse in all the places wherever I will send them wandering.
For see, I am starting to send evil on the town which is named by my name, and are you to be without any punishment? You will not be without punishment: for I will send a sword on all people living on the earth, says the Lord of armies.
Why have you said in the name of the Lord, This house will be like Shiloh, and this land a waste with no one living in it? And all the people had come together to Jeremiah in the house of the Lord.
Then the rulers and all the people said to the priests and the prophets, It is not right for this man to be put to death: for he has said words to us in the name of the Lord our God.
For I have not sent them, says the Lord, but they are saying what is false in my name, so that I might send you out by force, causing destruction to come on you and on your prophets.
For they are saying to you what is false in my name: I have not sent them, says the Lord.
I will go after them, attacking them with the sword and with need of food and with disease, and will make them a cause of fear to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse and a wonder and a surprise and a name of shame among all the nations where I have sent them:
This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said about Ahab, the son of Kolaiah, and about Zedekiah, the son of Maaseiah, who are saying to you what is false in my name: See, I will give them up into the hands of Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, and he will put them to death before your eyes.
Because they have done shame in Israel, and have taken their neighbours' wives, and in my name have said false words, which I did not give them orders to say; and I myself am the witness, says the Lord.
Shemaiah the Nehelamite sent a letter in his name to Zephaniah, the son of Maaseiah the priest, saying,
For I will make you healthy again and I will make you well from your wounds, says the Lord; because they have given you the name of an outlaw, saying, It is Zion cared for by no man.
These are the words of the Lord, who has given the sun for a light by day, ordering the moon and stars for a light by night, who puts the sea in motion, causing the thunder of its waves; the Lord of armies is his name.
See, Hanamel, the son of Shallum, your father's brother, will come to you and say, Give the price and get for yourself my property in Anathoth: for you have the right of the nearest relation.
So Hanamel, the son of my father's brother, came to me, as the Lord had said, to the place of the armed watchmen, and said to me, Give the price and get my property which is in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin: for you have the nearest relation's right to the heritage; so get it for yourself. Then it was clear to me that this was the word of the Lord.
So I got for a price the property in Anathoth from Hanamel, the son of my father's brother, and gave him the money, seventeen shekels of silver;
And I gave the paper to Baruch, the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, before the eyes of Hanamel, the son of my father's brother, and of the witnesses who had put their names to the paper, and before all the Jews who were seated in the place of the armed watchmen.
You have mercy on thousands, and send punishment for the evil-doing of the fathers on their children after them: the great, the strong God, the Lord of armies is his name:
You have done signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, and even to this day, in Israel and among other men; and have made a name for yourself as at this day;
But they put their disgusting images into the house which is named by my name, making it unclean.
These are the words of the Lord, who is doing it, the Lord who is forming it, to make it certain; the Lord is his name;
And this town will be to me for a name of joy, for a praise and a glory before all the nations of the earth, who, hearing of all the good which I am doing for them, will be shaking with fear because of all the good and the peace which I am doing for it.
In those days, Judah will have salvation and Jerusalem will be safe: and this is the name which will be given to her: The Lord is our righteousness.
And now, turning away from evil, you had done what is right in my eyes, giving a public undertaking for every man to make his neighbour free; and you had made an agreement before me in the house which is named by my name:
