"But as for me, I have set my king on Zion, my holy mountain."

Ask from me and I will make [the] nations your heritage, and your possession [the] ends of [the] earth.

{But as for me}, through the abundance of your steadfast love I will enter your house. I will bow down toward {your holy temple} in awe [of] you.

Treat them as guilty, O God; let them fall because of their plans. Because of the abundance of their transgressions cast them out, for they have rebelled against you.

His ways endure at all times. Your judgments are aloof from him. [As for] all his enemies, he scoffs at them.

Break [the] arm of [the] wicked, and [as for the] evil [man]-- seek out his wickedness [until] you find none.

But as for me, I have trusted in your steadfast love. My heart will rejoice in your deliverance.

All who do evil--do they not know, [they] who eat my people [as though] they were eating bread? They do not call on Yahweh.

As for [the] works of humankind, by the word of your lips, I have kept [from] the ways of [the] violent.

As for me, I have called on you because you will answer me, O God. Incline your ear to me. Hear my words.

Keep me as {the apple of your eye}. Hide me in the shadow of your wings

You rescued me from strife with people; you set me as head (over) nations. People I did not know served me;

as soon as {they heard}, they obeyed me. [The] children of a foreign land feigned obedience before me.

But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me and be gracious to me.

Yahweh sits [enthroned] at the flood, and Yahweh sits [as] king forever.

But as for me, I had said in my prosperity, "I shall not be moved ever."

But as for me, I trust you, O Yahweh. I say, "You [are] my God."

As for me, I said in my alarm, "I am cut off from before your eyes." However you heard the voice of my supplications when I cried to you for help.

Let your loyal love, O Yahweh, be upon us, {even as} we hope in you.

Violent witnesses rise up; they ask me [concerning] what I do not know.

But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing [was] sackcloth. I weakened my soul with fasting, and my prayer {returned to me unanswered}.

I {behaved} as [though he were] a friend [or] as a brother to me. As one lamenting a mother, I was bowed down [in] mourning.

Take pleasure in Yahweh as well, and he will give to you the requests of your heart.

Those who seek my life lay snares as well, and those intent on my harm speak threats. They also plot deceit all day.

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

I said, "I will guard my ways {that I may not sin} with my tongue. I will keep a muzzle over my mouth as long as [the] wicked [are] before me."

Look, you have made my days [mere] handbreadths, and my lifespan as nothing next to you. Surely every person standing firm [is] complete vanity. Selah

Surely a man walks about as a [mere] {shadow}; surely in vain they bustle about. He heaps up [possessions] but does not know who [will] gather them [in].

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

As for me, I said, "O Yahweh, be gracious [to] me. Heal me, for I have sinned against you."

As for me, you have upheld me in my integrity, and you have set me in your presence forever.

As a deer longs for streams of water, so my soul longs for you, O God.

[As] with a shattering in my bones my oppressors taunt me, while they say to me {all day}, "Where [is] your God?"

You have given us as sheep [for] food, and among the nations you have scattered us.

Rather, on account of you we are killed {all day long}; we are accounted as sheep for slaughter.

God [is] in her citadels; he is known as a [high] stronghold.

Trembling seized them there-- pain as of a woman in labor.

As we have heard, so we have seen in the city of Yahweh of hosts, in the city of our God. God will establish her forever. Selah

As [is] your name, O God, so [is] your praise to [the] ends of [the] earth. Your right hand is full of righteousness.

Do not evildoers know, [they] who eat my people [as though] they were eating bread? They do not call on God.

As for me, I will call to God, and Yahweh will save me.

They attack, they hide, they watch my {steps}, as they [lie in] wait for my life.

Let them run [away] like water [that] runs off. [When] he bends [the bow], let his arrows [be] as though they were cut off.

[Let them be] like a snail [that] melts away [as] it goes; [like the] stillborn of woman [that] do not see [the] sun.

As for them, they wander for food. If they are not satisfied, then they continue all night.

But as for me, I will sing [of] your strength, and I will hail your loyal love in the morning, because you have been my [high] stronghold and a refuge in my {time} of trouble.

O God, you [are] my God; I will seek you diligently. My soul thirsts for you; my flesh longs for you [as] in a dry and weary land without water.

My soul will be satisfied [as with the] best and richest [food], and [with] joyful lips my mouth will praise.

But as for them [who] seek my life for ruin, they will go into the depths of the earth.

Iniquities prevail over me. As for our transgressions, you will {forgive} them.

For you have tested us, O God; you have tried us as silver is tried.

As smoke is driven off, you will drive [them] off. As wax melts before fire, [the] wicked will perish before God.

Those sitting at [the] gate talk about me [as] also [the] songs of [the] drunkards.

But as for me, my prayer [is] to you, O Yahweh, for a favorable time, O God, according to the abundance of your loyal love. Answer me with the faithfulness of your salvation.

But as for me, [though] I [am] afflicted and pained, your salvation will protect me, O God.

But as for me, I will hope continually and increase your praise.

May he live long {while the sun endures} {as long as the moon} {for all generations}.

May his name endure forever. May his name increase {as long as the sun shines}, and let them be blessed in him. Let all nations call him blessed.

But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled. My steps had nearly slipped,

They do not have {ordinary trouble}, and they are not plagued as [other] people.

They mock and speak maliciously of oppression; they speak [as though] from on high.

But as for me, the approach to God [is] for my good. I have set the Lord Yahweh [as] my refuge, in order to tell all your works.

You crushed the heads of Leviathan; you gave him [as] food to [the] desert dwelling creatures.

But as for me, I will proclaim forever; I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.

He caused rocks to split in the wilderness and provided drink abundantly as [from the] depths.

They have given the bodies of your servants as food for the birds of the heavens, the flesh of your faithful to [the] beasts of [the] earth.

Do to them as [you did with] Midian, as [with] Sisera, as [with] Jabin at the wadi of Kishon.

who said, "Let us take [as] our possession the pastures of God."

As fire burns a forest, and as a flame sets afire mountains,

Passing through the Valley of Baca, they make it a spring. The early rain covers [it with] blessings as well.

But as for me, I cry for help to you, O Yahweh, and in the morning my prayer comes before you.

[The] heavens are yours, [the] earth yours as well, [the] world with its fullness, [because] you founded them.

I will also establish his offspring forever, and his throne as [the] days of [the] heavens.

His offspring will endure forever, and his throne as the sun before me.

As for the days of our years, within them [are] seventy years or if by strength eighty years, and their pride [is] trouble and disaster, for it passes quickly and we fly [away].

Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, [for as many] years [as] we have seen calamity.

"Do not harden your heart as [at] Meribah, as [in] the day of Massah in the wilderness,

For as [the] heavens are high above the earth, [so] his loyal love prevails over those who fear him.

As far as east [is] from west, [so] he has removed far from us [the guilt of] our transgressions.

As a father pities [his] children, [so] Yahweh pities those who fear him.

As for man, his days [are] like the grass. As the flower of the field, so he blossoms.

[you] who cover [yourself] with light as [with] a garment, who stretch out [the] heavens like a tent curtain,

You covered it with [the] deep as with a garment. [The] waters stood above [the] mountains.

He then confirmed it to Jacob as a statute, to Israel [as] an everlasting covenant,

saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan [as] the allotment [that is] your inheritance."

He sent a man on ahead of them; Joseph was sold as a slave.

to obligate his officials {as he saw fit} and teach his elders wisdom.

So he rebuked {the Red Sea}, and it dried up, and he led them through the deep as [through] a desert.

and it was reckoned to him as righteousness {throughout all generations}.

They did not exterminate the peoples, as Yahweh had commanded them,

When he is judged, let him come out guilty, and let his prayer become as sin.

Because he wore a curse as his robe, let it enter {his body} like water, and into his bones like oil.

Let my accusers put on disgrace, and let them cover [themselves] with their shame as with a robe.

[He] raises [the] helpless from [the] dust; he lifts [the] needy from [the] ash heap,

[He] causes the barren woman of the house to dwell [as] the happy mother of children. Praise Yah!

[Those who] make them become like them, [as does] everyone who trusts in them.

Yahweh [is] for me as my helper, and [so] I will look [in triumph] on those who hate me.

In the way of your testimonies I have rejoiced as [I would] over all riches.

Their heart [is] insensitive like fat; As for me, I take delight in your law.

Let the arrogant be put to shame, because they have wronged me [with] lies. As for me, I will meditate on your precepts.
