Instead, in the law of Yahweh [is] his delight, and on his law he meditates day and night.

for Yahweh knows [the] way of [the] righteous, but [the] way of [the] wicked will perish.

[The] kings of [the] earth establish themselves, and the rulers conspire together against Yahweh and his anointed:

I will tell the decree; Yahweh said to me: "You are my son; today I have begotten you.

Serve Yahweh with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

Yahweh, how many are my enemies; many [are] rising against me.

But you, Yahweh, [are] a shield around me, my glory and the one who lifts up my head.

[With] my voice I call to Yahweh and he answers me from {his holy hill}. Selah

I lay down and slept; I woke up because Yahweh sustains me.

Rise up, O Yahweh; deliver me, O my God; for you strike all my enemies [on the] cheek. [The] teeth of [the] wicked you break.

To Yahweh belongs deliverance; [may] your blessing [be] over your people. Selah

But know that Yahweh has set apart for himself [the] faithful one. Yahweh hears when I call to him.

Offer correct sacrifices, and {trust in} Yahweh.

Many are saying, "Who will show us [something] good?" Lift up over us the light of your face, O Yahweh.

In peace I will lie down and sleep {at once}, for you alone, O Yahweh, make me dwell safely.

Hear my words, O Yahweh. Give heed to my sighing.

O Yahweh, in [the] morning you will hear my voice. In [the] morning I will set forth [my case] to you and I will watch.

You destroy speakers of lies. {A man of bloodshed} and deceit Yahweh abhors.

O Yahweh, lead me in your righteousness because of my enemies; make straight before me your way.

For you bless [the] righteous. O Yahweh, like a shield you surround him [with] good favor.

O Yahweh, do not rebuke me in your anger, and do not discipline me in your wrath.

Be gracious to me, O Yahweh, because I am feeble. Heal me, O Yahweh, for my bones are terrified.

My soul is also very terrified. But you, O Yahweh, how long?

Turn, O Yahweh; deliver my life. Save me for the sake of your steadfast love.

Depart from me, all workers of evil, for Yahweh has heard the sound of my weeping.

Yahweh has heard my plea; Yahweh has accepted my prayer.

May all my enemies be ashamed and dismayed. They shall turn back, they shall be disgraced suddenly. A meditation by David, which he sang to Yahweh, concerning the words of Cush, the Benjamite.

O Yahweh, my God, in you I have taken refuge. Save me from all [who] pursue me, and deliver me.

O Yahweh, my God, if I have done this, if there is wrong in my hands,

Rise up, O Yahweh, in your anger, and lift yourself up against the wrath of my oppressors, and awake for me, since you have commanded judgment.

Yahweh judges the nations. O Yahweh, vindicate me according to my innocence and according to my integrity within me.

I will thank Yahweh according to his righteousness, and I will sing praise to the name of Yahweh, [the] Most High.

Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic [is] your name in all the earth, who put your splendor above the heavens.

Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic [is] your name in all of the earth!

I will thank Yahweh with all my heart. I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.

But Yahweh sits [enthroned] forever. He has established his throne for judgment.

And Yahweh will be a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of distress.

And those who know your name will trust in you, for you do not forsake those [who] seek you, O Yahweh.

Sing [praises] to Yahweh [who] sits [enthroned] in Zion. Tell his deeds among the peoples,

Be gracious to me, O Yahweh. See my suffering from [those who] hate me, [you who] lift me up from the gates of death,

Yahweh has made himself known; he has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his hands. Higgaion Selah

Rise up, O Yahweh, let not humans prevail; let [the] nations be judged before you.

O Yahweh, put them in fear. Let [the] nations know they [are merely] human. Selah

Why, O Yahweh, do you stand far off? [Why] do you hide during times of distress?

for [the] wicked boasts about the desire of his {heart}, and [the] one greedy for gain curses [and] treats Yahweh with contempt.

Rise up, O Yahweh; O God, lift up your hand. Do not forget [the] afflicted.

Yahweh [is] king forever and ever; the nations have perished from his land.

[The] longing of [the] afflicted you have heard, O Yahweh. You will make their heart secure. You will {listen attentively}

In Yahweh I have taken refuge; how can you say to my soul, "Flee to your mountain [like] a bird"?

Yahweh [is] in his holy temple; Yahweh [is] in the heavens [on] his throne. His eyelids see; they test [the] children of humankind.

Yahweh tests [the] righteous, but [the] wicked and [the] lover of violence his soul hates.

For Yahweh [is] righteous; he loves righteous deeds. [The] upright shall see his face.

Save, O Yahweh, for [the] pious have ceased [to be]; for [the] faithful have vanished from [among the] children of humankind.

May Yahweh cut off all flattering lips, [the] tongue speaking great boasts--

"Because of [the] oppression of [the] afflicted, because of [the] groaning of [the] poor, now I will rise up," Yahweh says. "I shall put [them] in [the] safety [for which] they long."

The words of Yahweh [are] pure words [like] silver refined in the crucible on the ground, refined seven times.

You, O Yahweh, will protect them. You will preserve him from this generation always.

How long, O Yahweh? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

Consider [and] answer me, O Yahweh my God. Give light to my eyes lest I sleep [the sleep of] death,

I will sing to Yahweh because he has dealt bountifully with me.

Yahweh looks down from heaven upon the children of humankind to see whether there is one who has insight, one who cares about God.

All who do evil--do they not know, [they] who eat my people [as though] they were eating bread? They do not call on Yahweh.

You would put to shame [the] plan of [the] poor, because Yahweh [is] his refuge.

{Oh that from Zion} [would come] salvation [for] Israel! When Yahweh returns the fortunes of his people, Jacob will rejoice; Israel will be happy.

O Yahweh, who may reside in your tent? Who may dwell on your holy mountain?

In his eyes a rejected one [is] contemptible, but he honors those who respect Yahweh. He takes an oath to [his own] injury and does not retract it.

[Oh my soul] you have said to Yahweh, "You [are] my Lord. I have no good apart from you."

It belongeth unto the holy ones, whom, in his own land, Yahweh, ennobleth, In whom is all his delight

Yahweh [is] the portion [which is] my share and my cup. You hold my lot.

I will bless Yahweh who advises me; yes, [at] night my {innermost being} instructs me.

I have set Yahweh before me always. Because [he is] at my right hand I will not be shaken.

O Yahweh, hear a just cause. Hear my cry; heed my prayer [I make] without deceitful lips.

Rise up, O Yahweh, confront {him}. Make him bow down. Rescue with your sword my life from [the] wicked,

from men by your hand, O Yahweh, from men of [this] world. Their share [is] in {this life}, and you fill their stomach [with] your treasure. They are satisfied [with] children. They bequeath their excess to their children.

As for me, I shall see your face in righteousness. I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with seeing your form. For the Chief Musician. By David the servant of Yahweh, who spoke to Yahweh the words of this song in the day that Yahweh delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. He said,

And he said: "I love you, O Yahweh, my strength."

Yahweh [is] my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock in whom I have taken refuge, my shield and the horn of my deliverance, my stronghold.

I called upon Yahweh, who is worthy to be praised, and I was saved from my enemies.

In my trouble I called on Yahweh, and to my God I cried for help. He heard my voice from his temple, and my cry for help came up before his presence into his ears.

And Yahweh thundered from the heavens, and the Most High uttered his voice [with] hail and coals of fire.

Then the channels of [the] sea became visible, and [the] foundations of [the] world were uncovered by your rebuke, O Yahweh, by the {blast} of the wind of your nose.

They confronted me on the day of disaster, but Yahweh was my support.

Yahweh has rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands he has repaid me.

Because I have kept the ways of Yahweh, and have not acted wickedly against my God,

Therefore Yahweh has repaid me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.

For you light my lamp; Yahweh, my God, lights up my darkness.

This God--his way [is] blameless. The word of Yahweh [is] flawless. He [is] a shield for all those who take refuge in him.

For who [is] God apart from Yahweh, and who [is] a rock except our God?

They cried out but there was no rescuer, [even] to Yahweh, but he did not answer them.

Yahweh lives, and blessed [be] my rock, and may the God of my salvation be exalted--

Therefore I will give thanks to you among the nations, O Yahweh, and I will sing [the praise] of your name:

The law of Yahweh [is] perfect, reviving life. The testimony of Yahweh [is] firm, making wise [the] simple.

The precepts of Yahweh [are] right, making [the] heart rejoice. The command of Yahweh [is] pure, enlightening [the] eyes.

The fear of Yahweh [is] pure, enduring forever. The ordinances of Yahweh [are] true; they are righteous altogether,

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your presence, O Yahweh, my rock and my redeemer.

May Yahweh answer you in [the] day of trouble. May the name of Jacob's God protect you.

May we shout for joy over your victory, and in the name of our God may we set up banners. May Yahweh fulfill all your requests.

Now I know that Yahweh will help his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven with the victorious power of his right hand.

{Some boast in chariots and others in horses}, but we boast in the name of Yahweh, our God.

Rescue, O Yahweh. Let the king answer us when we call.
