Yet You have made him a little lower than God,
And You have crowned him with glory and honor.

Behold, You desire truth in the innermost being,
And in the hidden part [of my heart] You will make me know wisdom.

My soul [my life, my very self] is satisfied as with marrow and fatness,
And my mouth offers praises [to You] with joyful lips.

My soul [my life, my very self] clings to You;
Your right hand upholds me.

Who creates the mountains by His strength,
Being clothed with power,

Blessed be God,
Who has not turned away my prayer
Nor His lovingkindness from me.

Those who hate me without cause are more than the hairs of my head;
Those who would destroy me are powerful, being my enemies wrongfully;
I am forced to restore what I did not steal.

My lips will shout for joy when I sing praises to You,
And my soul, which You have redeemed.

For who in the heavens can be compared to the Lord?
Who among the divine beings is like the Lord,

I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.

Hungry and thirsty,
They fainted.

Some dwelt in darkness and in the deep (deathly) darkness,
Prisoners [bound] in misery and chains,

He will not fear bad news;
His heart is steadfast, trusting [confidently relying on and believing] in the Lord.

My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was being formed in secret,
And intricately and skillfully formed [as if embroidered with many colors] in the depths of the earth.

While I live I will praise the Lord;
I will sing praises to my God as long as I live.
