O Israel, wait for Yahweh. For with Yahweh [there is] loyal love, and with him [there is] abundant redemption.

"This is my resting place forever. Here I will live, for I have desired it.

A Davidic song of ascents.How good and pleasant it is
when brothers live together in harmony!

As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

Bless the LORD, O house of Levi: ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD.

Give thanks to Yahweh, for [he is] good, for his loyal love [endures] forever.

Give thanks to the God of gods, for his loyal love [endures] forever.

I bow down toward your holy temple and give thanks to your name, because of your loyal love and faithfulness, for you have magnified your word according to all your name.

If I walk into the thick of danger,
You will preserve my life
from the anger of my enemies.
You will extend Your hand;
Your right hand will save me.

Yahweh accomplishes [things] for my benefit. O Yahweh, your loyal love [endures] forever; do not abandon the works of your hands.

You scrutinize my life and my rest; you are familiar with all of my ways.

If I live at the eastern horizon
or settle at the western limits,

Your eyes have seen my unformed substance;
And in Your book were all written
The days that were appointed for me,
When as yet there was not one of them [even taking shape].

May there be dropped on them live coals, - Into the fire, may they be let fall, into watery pits from which they shall not rise.

Surely the righteous will praise Your name;
the upright will live in Your presence.

Let the righteous one strike me—
it is an act of faithful love;
let him rebuke me—
it is oil for my head;
let me not refuse it.
Even now my prayer is against
the evil acts of the wicked.

For my eyes are toward You, O God, the Lord;
In You I take refuge; do not pour out my life nor leave me defenseless.

Look to the right [the point of attack] and see;
For there is no one who has regard for me [to act in my favor].
Escape has failed me and I have nowhere to run;
No one cares about my life.

“Bring my soul out of prison (adversity),
So that I may give thanks and praise Your name;
The righteous will surround me [in triumph],
For You will look after me.”

For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.

Cause me to hear your loyal love in the morning, for I trust you. Cause me to know the way that I should go, for I lift up my soul to you.

Save my life, O Lord, for Your name’s sake;
In Your righteousness bring my life out of trouble.

And in your loyal love destroy my enemies, and exterminate all [the] adversaries of my soul, for I [am] your servant.

My [steadfast] lovingkindness and my fortress,
My high tower and my rescuer,
My shield and He in whom I take refuge,
Who subdues my people under me.

Yahweh [is] gracious and compassionate, {slow to anger} and great in loyal love.

The Lord is just in all his actions, and exhibits love in all he does.

The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy.

My mouth will praise the Lord. Let all who live praise his holy name forever!

While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

Their life's breath departs, they return to the ground; on that day their plans die.

Yahweh takes pleasure in those who fear him, the ones who hope for his loyal love.

Let everything that has breath and every breath of life praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)

For their feet are running after evil, and they are quick to take a man's life.

Yet, they, for their own blood, lie in wait, They watch in secret for their own life.

So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.

How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;

But whoever listens to me will live securely
and be free from the fear of danger.”

He stores up success for the upright;
He is a shield for those who live with integrity

None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.

For the upright will live in the land, and people of integrity will remain in it.

For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.

May loyal love and truth not forsake you; bind them around your neck, write them upon your heart.

This will give strength to your flesh, and new life to your bones.

because whomever Yahweh will love, he will rebuke, as a father delights in his son.

Happy [blessed, considered fortunate, to be admired] is the man who finds [skillful and godly] wisdom,
And the man who gains understanding and insight [learning from God’s word and life’s experiences],

Long life is in her right hand;
in her left, riches and honor.

She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.

So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.

As for the scornful, he shall laugh them to scorn, but he shall give grace unto the lowly.

He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.

Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.

Put her in a high place, and you will be lifted up by her; she will give you honour, when you give her your love.

Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many.

Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.

For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.

Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.

Let your way [in life] be far from her,
And do not go near the door of her house [avoid even being near the places of temptation],

At the end of your life, you will lament
when your physical body has been consumed,

Let your fountain (wife) be blessed [with the rewards of fidelity],
And rejoice in the wife of your youth.

Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.

For the ways of man are directly before the eyes of the Lord,
And He carefully watches all of his paths [all of his comings and goings].

Eyes of pride, a false tongue, hands which take life without cause;

For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.

But whoever commits adultery with a woman lacks common sense and sound judgment and an understanding [of moral principles];
He who would destroy his soul does it.

Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.

In the twilight, in the evening;
In the black and dark night.

Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves.

Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.

“They are all straightforward to him who understands [with an open and willing mind],
And right to those who find knowledge and live by it.

I, wisdom, live with prudence, and I find knowledge and discretion.

I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.

That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.

For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.
