They looked to Him and were radiant;
Their faces will never blush in shame or confusion.

The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.

[The] young lions are in want and suffer hunger, but those who seek Yahweh will not lack for any good thing.

Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

Who is the man who desires life
And loves many days, that he may see good?

Turn away from evil and do good;
Seek peace and pursue it.

The eyes of Yahweh [are] toward [the] righteous, and his ears toward their cry for help.

When the righteous cry [for help], the Lord hears
And rescues them from all their distress and troubles.

The Lord is near to the heartbroken
And He saves those who are crushed in spirit (contrite in heart, truly sorry for their sin).

Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.

Let them be confounded, and put to shame, that seek after my soul; let them be turned back and brought to confusion, that imagine mischief for me.

For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul.

Let destruction come upon him unawares, and let his net which he hath hidden catch himself: for destruction let him fall therein.

All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?

They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul.

But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.

I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.

With profane jesters for bread, they have gnashed their teeth against me.

Let not them who are falsely my foes rejoice over me, As for them who hate me without cause, let them not wink the eye!

For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.

This thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.

Stir up thyself, and awake for my right, for my cause, my God and Lord!

They shall be ashamed and they shall blush together, rejoicing for my evil: they shall be clothed with shame and reproach, magnifying against me.

Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

And my tongue shall declare Your righteousness (justice),
And Your praise all the day long.

{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD.} The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.

For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.

O Yahweh! in the heavens, is thy lovingkindness, Thy faithfulness, as far as the fleecy clouds:

For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.

For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.

Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.

For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.

But the gentle will have the earth for their heritage; they will take their delight in peace without measure.

The ungodly layeth wait for the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.

The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.

The evil-doers have taken out their swords, their bows are bent; for crushing the poor, and to put to death those who are upright in their ways.

For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.

The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.

For the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of Jehovah shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume, like smoke shall they consume away.

The wicked borrows and does not pay back,
But the righteous is gracious and kind and gives.

For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.

Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.

I was a youth, but I am [now] old; yet I have not seen [the] righteous forsaken or his children {begging for} bread.

All the day he is gracious and lending, And his seed is for a blessing.

Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.

For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.

The wicked is watching for the righteous, And is seeking to put him to death.

Wait for Jehovah, and keep his way, And he will exalt thee to inherit the land: When the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

Yet he passed away, and lo, he was no more;
I sought him, but he could not be found.

Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.

As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together; The end of the wicked shall be cut off.

But deliverance for the righteous one comes from the LORD; he is their strength in times of distress.

And Jehovah will help them and deliver them: he will deliver them from the wicked, and save them; for they trust in him.

For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.

For thine arrows came down upon me, and thy hand will press down upon me.

For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

For mine iniquities passed over my head: as a heavy lifting up they will be loaded above me.

For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.

I am feeble and sore smitten, I roar for the very disquietness of my heart.

My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.

My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague. My kinsmen stand far away.

They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.

But as for me, like [the] deaf I cannot hear, and [I am] like [the] mute [who] cannot open his mouth.

For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.

For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.

For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.

For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.

But my enemies are vigorous and powerful;
many hate me for no reason.

They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is.

Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.

Hurry to help me, Lord, my salvation. For the Chief Musician. For Jeduthun. A Psalm by David.

To the Overseer, to Jeduthun. -- A Psalm of David. I have said, 'I observe my ways, Against sinning with my tongue, I keep for my mouth a curb, while the wicked is before me.'

My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then spake I with my tongue,

“Surely every man walks around like a shadow [in a charade];
Surely they make an uproar for nothing;
Each one builds up riches, not knowing who will receive them.

And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee.

Make me free from all my sins; do not let me be shamed by the man of evil behaviour.

I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; for thou hast done it.

Turn thy plagues away from me, for I am consumed through the fear of thy hand.

When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man is vanity. Selah.

Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were.

Oh spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go away, and exist no more." For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.

{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.} I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.

Lord my God, You have done many things—
Your wonderful works and Your plans for us;
none can compare with You.
If I were to report and speak of them,
they are more than can be told.

Sacrifice and present Thou hast not desired, Ears Thou hast prepared for me, Burnt and sin-offering Thou hast not asked.

Then, said I - Lo! I am come, In the written scroll, is it prescribed for me;

As for you, O Yahweh, do not withhold your mercies from me. Let your loyal love and your faithfulness continually preserve me.

For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.

Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me, O Jehovah, for my help make haste.

Let those who go after my soul for its destruction have shame and trouble together; let them be turned back and made foolish who take pleasure in my trouble.

Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.

Let all those who are looking for you be glad and have joy in you; let the lovers of your salvation ever say, May the Lord be great.

And I am poor and needy, The Lord doth devise for me. My help and my deliverer art Thou, O my God, tarry Thou not.

Blessed [is the one who] has regard for [the] poor; in [the] day of disaster, Yahweh delivers him.

I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

As for my enemies, with malice they said, "When will he die and memory of his name perish?"

And when one comes to see [me], he speaks falsely; his heart gathers disaster for itself. He goes out to the street; he speaks.
