The wicked are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

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.

He has dug a hole, and has fallen into the pit which he made.

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained;

The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin. The very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished.

The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.

which is as a bridegroom coming out of his room, like a strong man rejoicing to run his course.

For they intended evil against you. They plotted evil against you which cannot succeed.

Let the lying lips be mute, which speak against the righteous insolently, with pride and contempt.

Oh how great is your goodness, which you have laid up for those who fear you, which you have worked for those who take refuge in you, before the sons of men!

I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you.

Don't be like the horse, or like the mule, which have no understanding, who are controlled by bit and bridle, or else they will not come near to you.

Many, Yahweh, my God, are the wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are toward us. They can't be declared back to you. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

There is a river, the streams of which make the city of God glad, the holy place of the tents of the Most High.

Against you, and you only, have I sinned, and done that which is evil in your sight; that you may be proved right when you speak, and justified when you judge.

Let me hear joy and gladness, That the bones which you have broken may rejoice.

which doesn't listen to the voice of charmers, no matter how skillful the charmer may be.

Let them be like a snail which melts and passes away, like the stillborn child, who has not seen the sun.

For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips, let them be caught in their pride, for the curses and lies which they utter.

which my lips promised, and my mouth spoke, when I was in distress.

Your God has commanded your strength. Strengthen, God, that which you have done for us.

To him who rides on the heaven of heavens, which are of old; behold, he utters his voice, a mighty voice.

Be to me a rock of refuge to which I may always go. Give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.

My lips shall shout for joy! My soul, which you have redeemed, sings praises to you!

Remember your congregation, which you purchased of old, which you have redeemed to be the tribe of your inheritance; Mount Zion, in which you have lived.

Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.

For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a teaching in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children;

He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.

He brought them to the border of his sanctuary, to this mountain, which his right hand had taken.

So that he forsook the tent of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men;

But chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion which he loved.

He built his sanctuary like the heights, like the earth which he has established forever.

Pay back to our neighbors seven times into their bosom their reproach with which they have reproached you, Lord.

the stock which your right hand planted, the branch that you made strong for yourself.

Yes, Yahweh will give that which is good. Our land will yield its increase.

Lord, where are your former loving kindnesses, which you swore to David in your faithfulness?

With which your enemies have mocked, Yahweh, with which they have mocked the footsteps of your anointed one.

Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with you, which brings about mischief by statute?

This will be written for the generation to come. A people which will be created will praise Yah.

The mountains rose, the valleys sank down, to the place which you had assigned to them.

Yahweh's trees are well watered, the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted;

You make darkness, and it is night, in which all the animals of the forest prowl.

There is the sea, great and wide, in which are innumerable living things, both small and large animals.

He has remembered his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,

the covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac,

They served their idols, which became a snare to them.

For he commands, and raises the stormy wind, which lifts up its waves.

Let it be to him as the clothing with which he covers himself, for the belt that is always around him.

The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner.

I reach out my hands for your commandments, which I love. I will meditate on your statutes. ZAYIN

Those who trust in Yahweh are as Mount Zion, which can't be moved, but remains forever.

Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up;

with which the reaper doesn't fill his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.

Yahweh will fulfill that which concerns me; your loving kindness, Yahweh, endures forever. Don't forsake the works of your own hands. For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.

Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, from the traps of the workers of iniquity.

When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, you knew my path. In the way in which I walk, they have hidden a snare for me.

Cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning, for I trust in you. Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to you.

He has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which will not pass away.
