But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and in his law will he exercise himself, day and night.

And he is as a tree planted by brooks of water, which giveth its fruit in its season, and whose leaf fadeth not; and all that he doeth prospereth.

Therefore [the] wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of [the] righteous;

For the Lord knows and fully approves the way of the righteous,
But the way of the wicked shall perish.

Why do the nations rebel? Why are the countries devising plots that will fail?

The kings of the earth will place themselves, and the princes sat down together against Jehovah and against his Messiah.

We will tear away his bands, and we will cast away his cords from us.

He that sitteth in the heavens will laugh: The Lord will have them in derision.

Then will he speak unto them in his wrath, And vex them in his sore displeasure:

I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

Ask of me, and I will give thee the nations for thine inheritance, And the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

You will break them with an iron rod. Like a potter's vessel you will shatter them."

Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

Many are saying about me, "God will never deliver him!"

With my voice will I call to Jehovah, and he will answer me from the hill of his holiness. Selah.

I lay down and I, shall sleep; I awaked: for Jehovah will uphold me.

I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.

Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.

For the music director, to be accompanied by stringed instruments; a psalm of David. When I call out, answer me, O God who vindicates me! Though I am hemmed in, you will lead me into a wide, open place. Have mercy on me and respond to my prayer!

O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.

But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.

There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

Thou hast put gladness in my heart since the time that their corn and wine and oil increased.

I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.

Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.

My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness;
No evil [person] dwells with You.

The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.

But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.

But as for the wicked, they do not speak truth at all. Inside them there is only wickedness. Their throat is an open grave, on their tongue is deceitful flattery.

Send them to destruction, O Lord; let their evil designs be the cause of their fall; let them be forced out by all their sins; because they have gone against your authority.

But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

For You, O Lord, bless the righteous man [the one who is in right standing with You];
You surround him with favor as with a shield.

Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am wasted away: make me well, for even my bones are troubled.

My soul [as well as my body] is greatly dismayed.
But as for You, O Lord—how long [until You act on my behalf]?

For in death there is no mention of You;
In Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead) who will praise You and give You thanks?

I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.

Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.

Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.

The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.

Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.

{Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the LORD, concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite.} O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:

Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

If I have done my well-wisher evil, And draw mine adversary without cause,

The enemy will pursue my soul, and overtake; and he will tread down my life to the earth, and he will cause mine honor to dwell upon the dust Silence.

The meeting of the nations will be round you; take your seat, then, over them, on high.

The Lord will be judge of the peoples; give a decision for me, O Lord, because of my righteousness, and let my virtue have its reward.

God is a righteous judge, and a God who is indignant all the day.

If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.

And he prepared to himself the instruments of death; he will work his arrows for those inflaming.

Behold, lie will bring forth vanity, and he conceived trouble, and he will bring forth falsehood.

He dug a pit, and he will dig it out, and he will fall into the pitfall he will make.

His wrongdoing will come back to him, and his violent behaviour will come down on his head.

I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.

{To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David.} O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

For I will consider thy heavens, even the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars which thou hast ordained.

Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:

All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;

the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, and all that pass through the paths of the seas.

O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

{To the chief Musician upon Muthlabben, A Psalm of David.} I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.

I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.

When my enemies turn back, they will stumble and perish because of your presence.

You terrified the nations with your battle cry; you destroyed the wicked; you permanently wiped out all memory of them.

The enemy's cities have been reduced to permanent ruins; you destroyed their cities; all memory of the enemies has perished.

But, Yahweh, unto times age-abiding, will sit, Ready for judgment, is his throne;

And he will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to the peoples in uprightness.

The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.

And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.

The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.

Rise up, LORD, do not let man prevail! The nations will be judged in your presence.

Why do You stand afar off, O Jehovah? Will You hide in times of trouble?

While the ungodly hath the overhand, the poor must suffer persecution; let them be taken in the crafty wiliness that they have imagined!

The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.

His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.

He saith in his heart, I shall not be moved; To all generations I shall not be in adversity.

Sitting in ambush of the enclosures: in hiding-places he will slay the innocent: his eyes will be hid to the afflicted.

He will lie in wait in secret as the lion in her den: he will lie in wait to catch the poor one: he will catch the poor one in drawing him into his net

And crushing, he will bow down, and cast down the afflicted by his strong ones.

He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.

Why has the wicked spurned and shown disrespect to God?
He has said to himself, “You will not require me to account.”

Thou sawest; for thou wilt look upon trouble and anger, to give with thine hand: the poor will be left to thee; thou wert the helper of the orphan.

Break the arm of the wicked and evil man; so that when you seek out his wickedness you will find it no more.

The Lord is King forever and ever;
The nations will perish from His land.

O Lord, You have heard the desire of the humble and oppressed;
You will strengthen their heart, You will incline Your ear to hear,

to render judgment [for the] fatherless and [the] oppressed [so that] a [mere] mortal from the earth will no longer cause terror.

In the Lord put I my faith; how will you say to my soul, Go in flight like a bird to the mountain?

For behold, the unjust will bend the bow, they prepared their arrow upon the cord, they will shoot in darkness the upright of heart

For the foundations will be cast down, and what hath the righteous done?

The Lord is in his holy temple; the Lord's throne is in heaven. His eyes watch; his eyes examine all people.

Jehovah will try the just one: and the unjust and him loving violence, his soul hated.

Upon the wicked he will rain snares; Fire and brimstone and burning wind shall be the portion of their cup.

For the Lord is righteous; He loves righteous deeds.
The upright will see His face.

They will speak vanity each with his neighbor: smooth lips, with a heart and a heart will they speak

The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:

Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?

For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.
