Blessed is the man who has not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, and has not stood in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the seat of the scornful.

But his delight is only in the Law of Jehovah; and in His Law he meditates day and night.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivulets of water that brings forth its fruit in its seasons, and its leaf shall not wither, and all which he does shall be blessed.

The wicked are not so, but are like chaff which the wind drives away.

Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

I am not afraid of ten thousands of people who have set against me all around.

Tremble, and sin not; speak within your own heart on your bed and be still. Selah.

Through the pride of his face the wicked will not seek Him; There is no God in all his schemes.

He has said in his heart, I shall not be moved; from generation to generation, never in evil!

He lies in wait secretly, like a lion in his den. He lies in wait to catch the poor; he catches the poor when he draws him into his net.

He has said in his heart, God has forgotten; He hides His face; He will not see forever!

Arise, O Jehovah; O God, lift up Your hand; forget not the humble.

Why do the wicked condemn God? He has said in his heart, You will not judge.

All have gone aside, together they are filthy; there is none who does good, no, not one.

Have all the workers of iniquity not known, eating up My people as they eat bread? They have not called on Jehovah.

he does not backbite with his tongue, nor does evil to his neighbor, nor takes up a reproach against his neighbor;

in whose eyes the reprobate is despised, but he honors those who fear Jehovah; he has sworn to his hurt, and does not change it;

he has not put out his money at interest, nor has he taken a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall not be moved forever.

Their sorrows shall be multiplied who run after another god. I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood; and I will not take their names on my lips.

For all His judgments were before me, and I did not put away His Precepts from me.

You have given a wide place for my steps under me, so that my feet have not slipped.

They cried, but there was none to save; even to Jehovah, but He did not answer them.

You have delivered Me from the strivings of the people; You have made Me the head of the nations; a people whom I have not known shall serve Me.

Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night reveals knowledge.

There is no speech nor are there words; their voice is not heard.

and keep Your servant back from presumptuous sins; do not let them rule over me; then I shall be upright, and I shall be innocent of great transgression.

You have given him his heart's desire, and have not withheld the prayer of his lips. Selah.

For the king trusts in Jehovah, and in the mercy of the Most High; he shall not be moved.

My eyes are ever toward Jehovah; for He shall pluck my feet out of the net.

Keep my soul, and deliver me; let me not be ashamed, for I put my trust in You.

Hide not Your face from me. Turn not Your servant away in anger; You have been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

Deliver me not over to the will of my enemies; for false witnesses have risen up against me, and he that breathes out cruelty.

A Psalm of David. I will cry to You, O Jehovah; my Rock, do not be deaf to me, lest, if You be silent to me, I become like those who go down into the pit.

For by day and by night Your hand was heavy on me; my sap is turned into the droughts of summer. Selah.

For this let every godly one pray to You, in a time when You may be found; surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come near him.
