Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and ye perish by the way, for soon might be kindled his anger, - How happy are all who seek refuge in him!

Know ye, then, that Yahweh hath set apart the man of lovingkindness for himself: Yahweh, will hear, when I cry to him.

For, thou, wilt bless the righteous man, O Yahweh, As with an all-covering shield - with good pleasure, wilt thou encompass him.

Let the wrong of the lawless, I pray thee, come to an end, and establish thou him that is righteous, - for, a trier of hearts and reins, is God the righteous one.

What was weak man, that thou shouldst make mention of him? or the son of the earthborn, that thou shouldst set him in charge?

That thou shouldst make him little less than messengers of God, with glory and honour, shouldst crown him?

Shouldst give him dominion over the works of thy hands, - All things, shouldst have put under his feet:

He lieth in wait in a hiding-place, like a lion in his covert, He lieth in wait to catch the humbled, He catcheth the humbled, by drawing him into his net:

Because of violence done to the poor, because of the crying of the needy, Now, will I arise! O may Yahweh say, - I will place him in safety - let him puff at him!

Thou, O Yahweh, wilt keep them, - Thou wilt guard him, from this generation unto times age-abiding.

Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed over him! and, mine adversaries, exult, that I totter.

Rise, Yahweh! Confront his face, Bring him down, Deliver my soul from the lawless one who is thy sword:

Yahweh, was my mountain crag and my stronghold, and my deliverer: My GOD, was my rock, I sought refuge in him, My shield, and my horn of salvation, my high tower.

In my distress, called I on Yahweh, And, unto my God, made outcry for help, He heard, out of his temple, my voice, And my outcry for help came before him - entered into his ears!

Made darkness his hiding-place, Round about him - his pavilion, Darkness of waters, clouds of vapours.

Out of the brightness before him, his clouds rolled along, hail, and live coals of fire.

So became I blameless with him, and kept myself from mine iniquity.

As for GOD, blameless is his way, The speech of Yahweh hath been proved, A shield, he is to all who seek refuge in him.

Now, do I know that Yahweh, hath saved, his Anointed One, - He answereth him out of his holy heavens, by the mighty saving deeds of his own right hand.

The longing of his heart, hast thou given him, and, the request of his lips, hast thou not withheld. Selah.

For thou wilt come to meet him, with the blessings of goodness, Thou wilt set on his head, a crown of pure gold.

Life, he asked of thee, Thou hast given it him, length of days, to times age-abiding and beyond.

Great is his glory, in thy salvation, Honour and majesty, wilt thou lay upon him;

For thou wilt appoint him blessings evermore, wilt cheer him with joy by thy countenance;

He should trust in Yahweh - let him deliver him, - Let him rescue him, seeing he delighteth in him.

Ye that revere Yahweh, praise him, All ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him, And, stand in awe of him, all ye seed of Israel.

For he hath not despised nor abhorred the humbling of the patient one, neither hath he hid his face from him, but, when he cried for help unto him, he heard.

Of thee, is my praise in the great convocation, My vows, will I pay, before them who revere him.

The patient wronged-ones shall eat and be satisfied, They shall praise Yahweh, who are seekers of him, Let your heart live for aye.

All the great ones of the earth, shall eat and bow down, Before him shall kneel, all that go down to the dust, Even he who had not kept alive, his own soul!

My seed, shall serve him, It shall he recounted, of the Lord, to a generation that shall come:

This, is the generation of them who inquire of him, who seek thy face, O God of Jacob. Selah.

Who then is the man that revereth Yahweh? Let him direct him into the way he should choose.

Intimacy with Yahweh, have they who revere him, His covenant also, he letteth them know.

Yahweh, is my strength and my shield, In him, hath trusted my heart, and I have found help, - Therefore hath my heart danced for joy, and, with my song, do I praise him.

Love Yahweh, all ye his men of lovingkindness, - Faithfulness, doth Yahweh observe, but repayeth abundantly him that worketh proudly.

For this cause, will every man of lovingkindness pray unto thee, in time to obtain, - Surely, in the overflow of many waters, unto him, shall they not reach.

Do not ye become like a horse, like a mule, without discernment, - With the bit and bridle of his mouth, hast thou to restrain him, - He will not come near unto thee.

Many pains, hath the lawless one, - But, he that trusteth in Yahweh, Lovingkindness, shall compass him about.

Give ye thanks unto Yahweh with the lyre, With a harp of ten strings, make ye music unto him.

Sing unto him, a song that is new, With skill, sweep the strings, with loud noise.

Let all the earth, stand in awe of Yahweh, Of him, be in dread, all ye inhabitants of the world;

Lo! the eye of Yahweh, is toward them who revere him, unto such as are waiting for his lovingkindness:

For, in him, shall our heart rejoice, For, in his holy Name, have we trusted.

They looked unto him and were radiant, And, as for their faces, let them not be abashed.

This, oppressed one cried, and, Yahweh, heard - and, out of all his distresses, saved him.

The messenger of Yahweh encampeth around them who revere him, Thus hath he delivered them.

Oh taste and see, that good is Yahweh, - How happy the man who seeketh refuge in him!

Revere Yahweh, ye his holy ones, For there is no want to them who revere him.

Many are the misfortunes of the righteous, But, out of them all, doth Yahweh rescue him.

Yahweh ransometh the soul of his servants, And none shall be held guilty, who seek refuge in him.

There shall reach him a ruin he could not know, - Yea, his own net which he hath hidden, shall capture him, Into that ruin, shall he fall!

Let them not say in their heart, Aha! to our mind! Let them not say, We have swallowed him up!

Roll on Yahweh thy way, Trust also in him, and, he, will effectually work:

Be resigned to Yahweh, yea wait with longing for him; Burn not with vexation at him who prospereth in his way, - at the man who doeth wickedness.

Plotting is the lawless one, against the just, and gnashing upon him with his teeth.

My Lord, shall laugh at him, for he seeth, that his day, will come.

For, such as are blessed of him, shall inherit the earth, But, the cursed of him, shall be cut off.

The lawless man, lieth in wait, for the just, and seeketh to put him to death:

Yahweh, will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him, when he is judged.

Then I passed by, and lo! he had vanished! Yea I sought him, but he could not be found.

Thus hath Yahweh helped them, thus hath he delivered them, - He will deliver them from the lawless, and will save them, because they have sought refuge in him.

When, by rebukes for iniquity, thou hast corrected a man, Then hast thou consumed, as a moth, all that was delightful within him, Surely, a breath, are all men. Selah.

How happy is he that is attentive to the poor, In the day of calamity, will Yahweh deliver him:

Yahweh, will preserve him and keep him alive, And he shall be pronounced happy in the land, Do not then give him up at the desire of his enemies!

Yahweh, will sustain him upon the bed of sickness, All his couch, hast thou transformed in his disease.

An infliction of the Abandoned One hath been fixed upon him, and, now that he hath lien down, he will not again rise.

Why shouldst thou be cast down, O my soul? And why shouldst thou moan over me? Wait thou for God, for yet shall I praise him, As the triumph of my presence.

Why shouldst thou be sat down, O my soul? And why shouldst thou moan over me? Wait thou for God, for yet shall I praise him, As the triumph of my presence and my God.

Why shouldst thou be cast down, O my soul? And why shouldst thou moan over me, Wait thou for God, for yet shall I praise him, As the triumph of my presence, and my God.

At the voice of him who reproacheth and revileth, At the face of the foe and avenger.

When the king shall desire thy beauty, Surely, he, is thy lord, then bow down to him.

Like sheep - into hades, are they driven, Death shall shepherd them, - And the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning, Even their form, is to decay, Hades, is all that remaineth of a habitation for him.

For, when he dieth, he shall take, nothing, his glory shall not descend after him;

Let our God come, and let him not keep silence! A fire - before him, shall devour, And, around him, hath it become exceeding tempestuous:

If thou sawest a thief, then didst thou run with him, - And, with adulterers, hath been thy chosen life;

He that sacrificeth a thankoffering, will glorify me, - And will prepare a way by which I may show him the salvation of God.

The righteous shall both see and fear, And, over him, shall laugh:

There have they been in great dread where no dread was, Because, God, hath scattered the bones of thy besieger, - Thou hast put him to shame, Because, God, had, rejected, them.

Let him turn back the mischief upon mine adversaries, In thy faithfulness, destroy them!

For it is, not an enemy, that reproacheth me, Or I could bear it, - Not one that hath hated me, who, against me, hath magnified himself, Or I might hide myself from him;

That will not hearken to the voice of whisperers, Though the wise one try to bind him with spells.

Let him retain his seat age-abidingly before God, Appoint that, lovingkindness and faithfulness, my watch over him!

Surely, towards God, silence becometh my soul, From him, is my salvation:

Surely, from his elevation, they have taken counsel to thrust him down, They accept falsehood, - With his mouth, they each of them bless, But, inwardly, they revile. Selah.

Surely, towards God, be thou silent, my soul, For, from him, is mine expectation:

Trust ye in him all ye assembly of the people, Pour out, before him, your heart, God, is a refuge for us. Selah.

But, the king, shall rejoice in God, - Every one shall glory who sweareth by him, For the mouth of them who speak falsehood, shall be stopped.

To shoot, in secret places, at the blameless one, Suddenly they shoot at him, and fear not.

The righteous man shall rejoice Yahweh, and seek refuge in him, Then shall glory - all who are upright in heart.

He turned the sea into dry land, Through the stream, crossed they over on foot, There did we rejoice in him:

Unto him - with my mouth, did I cry, And high praise was under my tongue.

God, will bless us, That all the ends of the earth, may revere him.

Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered, Yea let them that hate him flee before him:

Sing ye to God, Make music of his Name, - Lift up (a song), to him that rideth through the waste plains, - Since Yah is his name, exult ye before him.

Yea, God himself, will smite through the head of his foes, - The hairy crown of him that is marching on in his guilty deeds.

Unto him that rideth upon the most ancient heavens, Lo! he uttereth his voice, a voice of strength.

I will praise the Name of God with a song, And will magnify him with thanksgiving;

Let the heavens and the earth, praise him, The seas, and everything that creepeth therein.

Saying, God, hath forsaken him, Pursue and take him, For there is none to rescue.
