For Thou blessest the righteous, O Jehovah, As a buckler with favour dost compass him!

The 'Praised One' I call Jehovah, And from my enemies I am saved.

In mine adversity I call Jehovah, And unto my God I cry. He heareth from His temple my voice, And My cry before Him cometh into His ears.

And thunder in the heavens doth Jehovah, And the Most High giveth forth His voice, Hail and coals of fire.

And seen are the streams of waters, And revealed are foundations of the earth. From Thy rebuke, O Jehovah, From the breath of the spirit of Thine anger.

They go before me in a day of my calamity And Jehovah is for a support to me.

Jehovah doth recompense me According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, He doth return to me.

For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not done wickedly against my God.

And Jehovah doth return to me, According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, Over-against his eyes.

Jehovah liveth -- and blessed is my rock, And exalted is the God of my salvation.

Therefore I confess Thee among nations, O Jehovah, And to Thy name I sing praise,

The precepts of Jehovah are upright, Rejoicing the heart, The command of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes,

The fear of Jehovah is clean, standing to the age, The judgments of Jehovah are true, They have been righteous -- together.

Let the sayings of my mouth, And the meditation of my heart, Be for a pleasing thing before Thee, O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer!
