And He humbleth with labour their heart, They have been feeble, and there is no helper.

All food doth their soul abominate, And they come nigh unto the gates of death,

He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.

They surround me with hate-filled words, attacking me for no reason.

For the love that I had unto them, they take now my contrary part; but I give myself unto prayer.

Let his children have no father, and his wife be made a widow.

Let no one show him kindness,
and let no one be gracious to his fatherless children.

Let the Lord keep in mind the wrongdoing of his fathers; and may the sin of his mother have no forgiveness.

Because he had no mercy, but was cruel to the low and the poor, designing the death of the broken-hearted.

He loved cursing—let it fall on him;
he took no delight in blessing—let it be far from him.

Now you, LORD my God, defend me for your name's sake; because your gracious love is good, deliver me!

My knees are unsteady from fasting;
And my flesh is gaunt and without fatness.

That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, LORD, hast done it.

He will have no fear of evil news; his heart is fixed, for his hope is in the Lord.

His heart is resting safely, he will have no fear, till he sees trouble come on his haters.

Let the name of Yahweh be blessed, from now until forever.

Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?

They have mouths, but no voice; they have eyes, but they see not;

They have ears, but no hearing; they have noses, but no sense of smell;

They have hands, and they handle not; feet have they, and they walk not; they give no sound through their throat.

[It is] we, we will bless Yah from now until forever. Praise Yah!

I love the Lord, because He hears [and continues to hear]
My voice and my supplications (my pleas, my cries, my specific needs).

And upon the name of Jehovah will I call; now, O Jehovah, deliver my soul.

I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.

Precious [and of great consequence] in the sight of the Lord
Is the death of His godly ones [so He watches over them].

Now, O Jehovah, for I am thy servant; I thy servant, the son of thy maid-servant: thou didst loose to my bonds.

I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people,

Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.

Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.

Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endureth for ever.

The Lord is on my side; I will have no fear: what is man able to do to me?

Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.

They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.

I have kept your sayings secretly in my heart, so that I might do no sin against you.

I desperately long to know your regulations at all times.

Then I will keep your law continually now and for all time.

Your statutes are my songs, no matter where I make my home.

I was quick to do your orders, and let no time be wasted.

Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.

I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.

Let your mercy now be my comfort, as you have said to your servant.

Let those that fear thee turn unto me; And they shall know thy testimonies.

I have seen that all [human] perfection has its limits [no matter how grand and perfect and noble];
Your commandment is exceedingly broad and extends without limits [into eternity].

Accept now the voluntaries of my month, O Jehovah, and teach me thy judgments.

You have removed all the wicked of the earth like dross [for they have no value];
Therefore I love Your testimonies.

Be thou surety for thy servant to do him good, that the proud do me no wrong.

I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies.

My steps, direct thou by thy word, and let no iniquity, have dominion over me.

I am small and of no account; but I keep your orders in mind.

They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law.

Thou art nigh, O Jehovah; And all thy commandments are truth.

Concerning your testimonies, I knew long ago that you have established them forever.

Salvation is far from evil-doers; for they have made no search for your rules.

Though nobles persecute me for no reason, my heart stands in awe of your words.

Great peace have they that love thy law; And they have no occasion of stumbling.

Yahweh will protect your going out and your coming in from now until forever.

For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.

{A Song of degrees of David.} If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

[As] mountains [are] round about Jerusalem, so Yahweh [is] round about his people, from now until forever.

He that now goeth on his way weeping, and beareth forth good seed, shall doubtless come again with joy, and bring his sheaves with him.

If the Lord is not helping the builders, then the building of a house is to no purpose: if the Lord does not keep the town, the watchman keeps his watch for nothing.

It is but lost labour that ye rise up early, and take no rest, but eat the bread of carefulness; for so he giveth his beloved sleep.

{A Song of degrees.} Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:

Wherewith no reaper, hath filled his hand, nor binder, his bosom:

Lord, there is no pride in my heart and my eyes are not lifted up; and I have not taken part in great undertakings, or in things over-hard for me.

O Israel, hope in Yahweh from now until forever.

I will give no sleep to my eyes, [no] slumber to my eyelids,

A song of ascents.Now praise the Lord,
all you servants of the Lord
who stand in the Lord’s house at night!

For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.

O Lord, your name is eternal; and the memory of you will have no end.

They have mouths, but no voice, they have eyes, but they do not see;

Ears they have, and they give not ear, Nose -- there is no breath in their mouth!

If Jehovah is high, and he will see the humble one: and the lofty one he will know from far off.

O Yahweh, you have searched me, and you know [me].

You know when I sit down and when I rise up [my entire life, everything I do];
You understand my thought from afar.

Even before there is a word on my tongue [still unspoken],
Behold, O Lord, You know it all.

Yea, the darkness is no darkness with thee, but the night is as clear as the day; the darkness and light are both alike.

I will praise You
because I have been remarkably and wonderfully made.
Your works are wonderful,
and I know this very well.

Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:

O Lord, give not the wrongdoer his desire; give him no help in his evil designs, or he may be uplifted in pride. (Selah.)

I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.

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.

Their judges, have been hurled down by a crag, Now have men heard my sayings, for they have become sweet.

When my spirit was overwhelmed and weak within me [wrapped in darkness],
You knew my path.
In the way where I walk
They have hidden a trap for me.

I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.

And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.

Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.

O Jehovah, what is man and thou wilt know him? the son of man, and thou wilt reckon him?

I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.

That our oxen may be strong to labour; that there be no breaking in, nor going out; that there be no complaining in our streets.

Every day I will bless You and lovingly praise You;
Yes, [with awe-inspired reverence] I will praise Your name forever and ever.

Great is Jehovah, and praised greatly, And of His greatness there is no searching.

The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.

Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

The Lord takes care of those who are in a strange land; he gives help to the widow and to the child who has no father; but he sends destruction on the way of sinners.

Great is our Lord, and abundant in power, Of His understanding there is no narration.

He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: He taketh no pleasure in the legs of a man.

He has not done so for any nation, and they do not know [his] ordinances. Praise Yah.

Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.

To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;
