[NUN] A lamp to my feet, is thy word, and a light to my path.

The heavens, are telling the glory of GOD, And, the work of his hands, the expanse is declaring;

How happy the man, who hath not walked in the counsel of the lawless, - and, in the way of sinners, hath not stood, and, in the seat of scoffers, hath not sat;

For, thou, didst possess thyself of my reins, thou didst weave me together in the womb of my mother.

Yea, rest thy delight on Yahweh, that he may give thee the requests of thy heart.

Bless, O my soul, Yahweh, - And all that is within me, his holy Name;

Let be! and know that, I, am God, I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.

God - for us, is a refuge and strength, A help in distresses, soon found.

Lo! an inheritance from Yahweh, are children, A reward, the fruit of the womb:

O Yahweh! thou hast searched me, and observed:

Yahweh, is my shepherd - I shall not want:

The, law of Yahweh, is complete, Bringing back the soul, The, testimony of Yahweh, is confirmed, Making wise the simple;

The impious hath said in his heart - There is no God! They have acted corruptly, they have done an abominable deed, there is none that doeth good.

Yahweh, is my light and my salvation, Of whom shall I be afraid? Yahweh, is the refuge of my life, Of whom shall I be in dread?

To Yahweh, belongeth, The earth and the fulness thereof, The world, and they who dwell therein;

Lo! in iniquity, was I brought forth, And, in sin, did my mother conceive me.

The declaration of Yahweh to my Lord - Sit thou at my right hand, Until I make thy foes thy footstool.

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High, Under the shadow of the Almighty, will tarry,

A pure heart, create for me, O God, And, a steadfast spirit, renew within me.

In my heart, have I treasured what thou hast said, to the end I may not sin against thee.

Let me tell of a decree, - Yahweh, hath said unto me, My son, thou art, I, to-day, have begotten thee:

The words of my mouth, and the soft utterance of my heart, shall come with acceptance, before thee, O Yahweh, my Rock and my Redeemer!

I thank thee, in that fearfully was my being distinguished, Wonderful are thy works, and, mine own soul, is observing them intently!

Yea, though I walk through a valley death-shadowed, I will fear no harm, for, thou, art with me, Thy rod and thy staff, they, comfort me.

Thou wilt cause me to know, the path of life, - Fulness of joys before thee, Pleasures at thy right hand evermore.

If, Yahweh, build not the house, in vain, have the builders of it toiled thereon, If, Yahweh, watch not the city, in vain, hath the watchman kept awake:

Whither can I go from thy spirit? or whither, from thy face, can I flee?

[BETH] Wherewithal can a young man keep pure his way? By taking heed, according to thy word.

Be favorable unto me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness, And, in the multitude of thy compassions, blot out my transgressions;

The beginning of wisdom, is the reverence of Yahweh, Good discretion, have all that do them, His praise, endureth for aye.

When I view thy heavens, the work, of thy fingers, moon and stars, which thou hast established,

Search me, O GOD, and observe my heart, Try me, and observe my cares;

My GOD, my GOD, why hast thou forsaken me? Far from saving me, The words of my loud lamentation?

The words of Yahweh, are words, that are pure, silver refined in a crucible of earth, purified seven times!

BOOK THE SECOND As, the hart, cometh panting up to the channels of water, So my soul, panteth for thee, O God.

This is the day, which Yahweh hath made, We will exult, and be glad therein.

Oh taste and see, that good is Yahweh, - How happy the man who seeketh refuge in him!

I will bow down towards thy holy temple, and thank thy Name, for thy lovingkindness and for thy faithfulness, For thou hast magnified, above all thy Name, thy word!

Let me bless Yahweh at all times, Continually be his praise in my mouth.

How happy is he whose transgression is forgiven! whose sin is pardoned!

I will make thee discreet, I will point out to thee the way which thou must go, I will fix upon thee mine eye.

Make a joyful noise to Yahweh, all the earth:

[LAMED] Age-abidingly, O Yahweh, hath thy word been set up in the heavens.

But, in the law of Yahweh, is his delight, - and, in his law, doth he talk with himself day and night.

Let us break asunder their bonds, - and cast from us their cords!

Lo! how good and how delightful, for brethren, to dwell together even as one.

For thou wilt not abandon my soul to hades, neither wilt thou suffer thy man of lovingkindness, to see corruption:

I will lift up mine eyes, unto the mountains, From whence cometh my help!

Wait thou for Yahweh, - Be strong, and let thy heart be bold, Wait, then, for Yahweh!

One thing, have I asked of Yahweh, That, will I seek to secure, - That I may dwell in the house of Yahweh, all the days of my life, To view the delightfulness of Yahweh, And to contemplate in his temple.

For, his messengers, will he charge concealing thee, To keep thee, in all thy ways;

Not so, the lawless, - but as chaff which is driven about by the wind:

Cast upon Yahweh thy lot, and, he, will sustain thee: He will not suffer, to times age-abiding, the righteous one to be shaken.

In thee, O Yahweh, have I sought refuge, May I not be ashamed unto times age-abiding:

[MEM] Oh how I love thy law! All the day, is it my meditation.

O God, my GOD, thou art, Earnestly do I desire thee, - My soul thirsteth for thee, My flesh fainteth for thee, In a land - dry, and weary for want of water, -

How to number our days, so grant us to know, That we may win us a heart that hath wisdom.

A stone the builders refused, hath become the head of the corner:

[ALEPH] How happy the men of blameless life, who walk in the law of Yahweh.

Yahweh, was my mountain crag and my stronghold, and my deliverer: My GOD, was my rock, I sought refuge in him, My shield, and my horn of salvation, my high tower.

What was weak man, that thou shouldst make mention of him? or the son of the earthborn, that thou shouldst set him in charge?

For Yahweh doth acknowledge the way of the righteous; but, the way of the lawless, shall vanish.

I waited patiently for Yahweh, - And he inclined, unto me, and heard my cry for help;

Near is Yahweh, to the broken in heart, And, the crushed in spirit, will he save.

Enter! let us bow down, and bend low, Let us kneel, before Yahweh our maker;

How happy the nation whose God is, Yahweh, The people he hath chosen as his own inheritance!

O Yahweh, our Lord! How majestic is thy Name, in all the earth.

For, a sun and shield, is Yahweh God, - Grace and glory, will Yahweh give, He will not withhold what is good, from them who walk without blame.

Shout ye for joy, unto God our strength, Sound the note of triumph, to the God of Jacob;

BOOK THE FIFTHO give thanks to Yahweh - For he is good, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.

Come, let us make a joyful noise to Yahweh, Let us shout in triumph, to the rock of our salvation!

Ask ye for the peace of Jerusalem, They shall prosper, who love thee!

I, said, Gods, ye are, Yea, sons of the Highest, are ye all;

Let, every breathing thing, praise Yah, Praise ye Yah!

For this cause, shall the lawless not stand in the judgment, - nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

Wherefore have nations assembled in tumult? Or should, peoples, mutter an empty thing?

Bless, O my soul, Yahweh, And forget not all his dealings: -

I enquired of Yahweh, and he hath answered me, And, out of all my terrors, hath he rescued me.

By the word of Yahweh, the heavens were made, and, by the spirit of his mouth, all their host:

If, iniquity, I had cared for in my heart, My Lord, had not heard me!

I have set Yahweh before me continually, because he is on my right hand, I shall not be shaken!

So doth he become like a tree planted by streams of waters, - that yieldeth, its fruit, in its season, whose leaf, also doth not wither, and, whatsoever he doeth, prospereth.

Ye that revere Yahweh, praise him, All ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him, And, stand in awe of him, all ye seed of Israel.

Thou wilt destroy them who speak falsehood, - The man of bloodshed and of deceit, Yahweh abhorreth.

With my voice - unto Yahweh, do I cry, and he hath answered me out of his holy mountain. Selah.

Sacrifice the sacrifices of righteousness; and put your trust in Yahweh.

Sing ye praise to Yahweh, who is seated in Zion, Tell among the peoples his doings.

And brought me out, into a large place, he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

My face, is all sunken with sorrow, - it hath aged, because of all mine adversaries.

Yahweh, will judge the peoples, - Do me justice, O Yahweh, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity upon me,

He hath said in his heart, GOD hath forgotten, - He hath veiled his face, Oh he hath never seen!

For he hath not despised nor abhorred the humbling of the patient one, neither hath he hid his face from him, but, when he cried for help unto him, he heard.

But, I, in the abounding of thy lovingkindness, will enter thy house, I will bow down towards thy holy temple, in reverence of thee:

Arise! Yahweh! O GOD! raise thy hand, - Do not forget the patient!

I, laid me down and slept, - I awoke, Surely, Yahweh, sustaineth me!

Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity, for Yahweh hath heard the voice of my weeping:

Multitudes, are saying, Who will show us prosperity? Lift thou upon us the light of thy countenance, O Yahweh.

Then, will he speak unto them in his anger, and, in his wrath, confound them:

O Yahweh! lead me in thy righteousness, because of mine adversaries, Make even, before me, thy way:

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

Let the wrong of the lawless, I pray thee, come to an end, and establish thou him that is righteous, - for, a trier of hearts and reins, is God the righteous one.

When he was making inquisition for blood, of them, had he remembrance, he forgat not the outcry of the oppressed.

Appoint, O Yahweh, a terror for them, - Let the nations know that they are men. Selah.

Thou hast seen! For, thou, mischief and misery, dost discern, to requite with thine own hand, Unto thee, doth, the unfortunate one, give himself up, To the fatherless, thou thyself, hast become a helper.

The longing of the patient, thou hast heard, O Yahweh, Thou wilt establish their heart, Thou wilt make attentive thine ear:

But, the deliverance of the righteous, is from Yahweh, their refuge in a time of distress.

To be known is Yahweh, by the sentence he hath executed, By the doing of his own hands, is he about to strike down the lawless one. Refunding music. Selah.

Yahweh, is king, to times age-abiding and beyond, The nations have perished out of his land.

Yahweh, hath heard my supplication, Yahweh, will receive, my prayer.

The nations, have sunk, in the pit they had made, In the net which they had hidden, is caught their own foot.

If he turn not, his sword, will he whet, - his bow, hath he bent, and made ready:

Declare them guilty, O God, Let them fall by their own counsels, - Into the throng of their own transgressions, thrust them down, For they have rebelled against thee: -

Rise! Yahweh! let man not prevail, let the nations be judged before thee.

To vindicate the fatherless and the crushed, A man of the earth, shall, no further, cause terror!

Thou shalt shepherd them with a sceptre of iron, - as a potter's vessel, shalt thou dash them in pieces.

Thou hast put gladness in my heart, - beyond the season when, their corn and their new wine, have increased.

Mine eye, hath dimmed through affliction; I have called upon thee, O Yahweh, all day long, I have spread out, unto thee, my hands.

For I had kept the ways of Yahweh, and not broken away from my God;

That his righteousness may be declared to a people to be born, That he wrought with effect!

The patient wronged-ones shall eat and be satisfied, They shall praise Yahweh, who are seekers of him, Let your heart live for aye.

But, for himself, hath he made ready the weapons so deadly, His arrows, he, so fiery, would make:

My seed, shall serve him, It shall he recounted, of the Lord, to a generation that shall come:

Show me favour, O Yahweh! Behold my humiliation due to them who hate me, Lift me on high out of the gates of death;

Do not cast me off in the time of old age, When my vigour faileth, do not forsake me;

He hath remembered, unto times age-abiding, his covenant, The word he commanded, to a thousand generations;

Now, therefore, ye kings, show your prudence, Be admonished, ye judges of earth:

That all may rejoice who seek refuge in thee, to times age-abiding, may shout in triumph, that thou wilt protect them, and they may leap for joy in thee who are lovers of thy Name.

Day, unto day, doth pour forth speech, and, night, unto night, doth breathe out knowledge.

For in his mouth is nothing worthy of trust, Their inward purpose, is engulphing ruin, - An opened sepulchre, is their throat, With their tongue, speak they smooth things.

That I may recount all thy praises, In the gates of the daughter of Zion, may exult in thy salvation.

I will not be afraid of myriads of people, who, round about, have set themselves against me.

Bless Yahweh, all ye his works, In all places of his dominion, Bless, O my soul, Yahweh.

With the loving, thou didst show thyself loving, - With the blameless man, thou didst show thyself blameless;

My lips shall make a joyful noise, When I make music unto thee, And my soul which thou hast ransomed;

Wherefore hath the lawless one blasphemed God? He hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it !

Lift up, O ye gates, your heads, and lift yourselves up, ye age-abiding doors, That the king of glory may come in.

My shield, is held by God, who is ready to save the upright in heart:

So became I blameless with him, and kept myself from mine iniquity.

A God to vindicate the righteous, - and yet a Got to be indignant throughout every day.

When I cry, answer me, O mine own righteous God, In a strait place, thou hast made room for me, Show me favour, and hear my prayer.

Turn thou unto me, and show me favour, for, alone and oppressed, I am.

Wherefore, O Yahweh, shouldst thou stand afar off? Wherefore hide thyself, in times of destitution?

The GOD who girded me with strength, and set forth, as blameless, my way:

To Yahweh, belongeth Salvation! Upon thy people, be thy blessing. Selah.

Boasters, shall not station themselves, before thine eyes, - Thou hatest all workers of iniquity:

For, not always, shall the needy, be forgotten, - nor, the hope of the oppressed, perish for ever.

Rise! Yahweh, Save me, my God. Surely thou hast smitten all my foes on the cheekbone, The teeth of the lawless, hast thou broken.

Yahweh! how have mine adversaries multiplied, Multitudes, are rising against me;

O save Yahweh, for the man of lovingkindness, is no more, for the faithful, have vanished, from among the sons of men.

Of thee, is my praise in the great convocation, My vows, will I pay, before them who revere him.

Thus be Yahweh a refuge for the crushed one, a refuge for times of destitution:

Yahweh, putteth, the righteous, to the test, - But the lawless one and the lover of violence, his soul doth hate.

In Yahweh, have I sought refuge. How can ye say to my soul, Flee to a mountain like a little bird;

Let all my foes, turn pale and be greatly dismayed, Again let them turn pale in a moment.

Be deeply moved, but do not sin, - Ponder in your own heart upon your bed, and be silent. Selah.

The lawless one, in the loftiness of his countenance, will not enquire, God is not in any of his plots:

Shatter thou the arm of the lawless one, And, as for the wrongful, wilt thou not enquire for his lawlessness - wilt thou not find it ?

For, thou, didst light up my lamp, Yahweh my God, enlightened my darkness;

Yahweh, is in his holy temple As for Yahweh, in the heavens, is his throne, His eyes, behold - His eyelashes test the sons of men.

For, by thee, I ran through a troop, and, by my God, I leapt over a wall.

I will rejoice and exult in thee, I will praise in song, thy Name, O most High.

For, thou, wilt bless the righteous man, O Yahweh, As with an all-covering shield - with good pleasure, wilt thou encompass him.

But, Yahweh, unto times age-abiding, will sit, Ready for judgment, is his throne;

For who is a GOD, save Yahweh? And who is a Rock, save our God?

For, as for thee, an oppressed people, thou didst save, but, looks that were lofty, layedst thou low;

For righteous is Yahweh Righteousness, he loveth, the upright, shall behold his face.

The bird of the heavens, and the fishes of the sea, - the passer-by on the paths of the seas?

Because of violence done to the poor, because of the crying of the needy, Now, will I arise! O may Yahweh say, - I will place him in safety - let him puff at him!

He will rain upon the lawless live-coals, Fire and brimstone and a burning wind, are the portion of their cup.

O Yahweh my God, in thee, have I sought refuge, - Save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me:

For the lawless one hath boasted over the longing of his soul, and, the robber, hath blasphemed Yahweh.

But, thou, O God, wilt bring them down to the pit of destruction, Men of bloodshed and deceit, shall not live out half their days; But, I, will trust in thee.

For, not a GOD finding pleasure in lawlessness, art thou, and wrong can be no guest of thine:

Deception, speak they, every one with his neighbour, - with lips uttering smooth things - with a heart and a heart, do they speak.

Thou, O Yahweh, wilt keep them, - Thou wilt guard him, from this generation unto times age-abiding.

Thou hast rebuked the nations, Thou hast destroyed the lawless one, Their name, hast thou wiped out, to times age-abiding and beyond.

O enemy! complete are the desolations, evermore, - even cities, hast thou uprooted, The memory of, them, hath perished.

O Yahweh! do not, in thine anger, correct me, nor, in thy wrath, chastise me.

For, in death, is no remembrance of thee, - In hades, who shall give thanks unto thee?

In the pride of the lawless one, he hotly pursueth the poor, let them be caught in the plots which they have devised!

Thus didst thou grant me, as a shield, thy salvation, - and, thy right hand, sustained me, and, thy condescension, made me great.

When mine enemies turned back, they stumbled and perished from before thee;

A pit, he cut out, and digged it, and then fell into the ditch he had made:

Planting my feet like hinds' feet , yea, on my high places, he caused me to stand:

Sheep and oxen, all of them, - yea even the beasts of the field;

With cursing, his mouth is full, and with deceptions and oppression, Under his tongue, are trouble and mischief:

May Yahweh cut off All the lips that utter smooth things, - the tongue that speaketh swelling words;

Lo! he gendereth trouble, and conceiveth mischief, but giveth birth to a disappointment:

And, he, will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to peoples, in uprightness.

For thou hast executed my right and my cause, Thou hast sat on the throne, judging righteously:

For lo! the lawless, bend the bow They have fixed their arrow upon the string, To shoot in the darkness at the upright in heart:

Ye sons of the great! how long, turning my glory to contempt, will ye love emptiness, will ye seek falsehood? Selah.

Know ye, then, that Yahweh hath set apart the man of lovingkindness for himself: Yahweh, will hear, when I cry to him.

Them who say - With our tongue, will we prevail, our lips, are our own, who is our master?

On every side, the lawless, march about, - when worthlessness is exalted by the sons of men.

He that planteth the ear, shall he not hear? Or, that fashioneth the eye, shall he not have power to see?

Thus didst thou gird me with strength, for the battle, Thou subduedst mine assailants under me.

Attend to the voice of my cry, my King and my God, for, unto thee, do I pray.

He lieth in wait in a hiding-place, like a lion in his covert, He lieth in wait to catch the humbled, He catcheth the humbled, by drawing him into his net:

He hath said in his heart, I shall not be shaken, - From generation to generation, shall I be in no misfortune.

His ways are firm at all times, On high, are thy righteous regulations, out of his sight, As for all his adversaries, he puffeth at them:

Yea, my soul, is dismayed greatly, Thou, then, O Yahweh - how long?

All the ends of the earth, will remember and turn to Yahweh, Yea all the families of the nations, will bow themselves down before thee,

I will praise Yahweh according to his righteousness, - and will praise in song the Name of Yahweh Most High.

He abideth in the lurking-place of villages, In the hiding-places, he murdereth the innocent, - His eyes, for the unfortunate, are on the watch:

For, all his regulations, were before me, and, his statutes, did I not put from me:

I am weary with my sighing, I flood, through the whole night, my couch, - With my tears, I cause, my bed, to dissolve:

He croucheth, he lieth down, then falleth he with his strong claws upon the unfortunate.

Show me favour, O Yahweh, for languishing am I: Heal me, O Yahweh, - for dismayed are my bones:

I was glad, when they were saying unto me, Unto the house of Yahweh, let us go!

His mischief, turneth back, on his own head, - and, on his own crown, his violence, descendeth.

Enter ye his gates, with thanksgiving, his courts, with praise, Give ye thanks to him, bless ye his Name;

Return, O Yahweh, deliver my soul, Save me, for the sake of thy lovingkindness;

If I have requited my friend with wrong, - or have oppressed mine adversary without need,

For dogs have surrounded me, - An assembly of evil doers, have encircled me, They have pierced my hands and my feet,

Mine unfinished substance, thine eyes beheld, and, in thy book, all the parts thereof were written, - the days they should be fashioned! while yet there was not one among them.

The sacrifices of God, are a spirit that is broken, - A heart - broken and crushed, O God, thou wilt not despise.

I will love thee, O Yahweh my strength!

As far as East from West, Hath he put far from us, our transgressions;

Yahweh, hath sworn - and will not repent, Thou, shalt be a priest unto times age-abiding, after the manner of Melchizedek.

The opening of thy words, sheddeth light, Giving understanding to the simple.

For, to Yahweh, belongeth the kingdom, And One to Rule over the nations.

Sing to Yahweh, a song that is new, Sing to Yahweh, all the earth;

Give ye thanks to Yahweh - For he is good, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.

Preserve me, O GOD, for I have sought refuge in thee.

Burn not with vexation because of evil-doers, Be not envious of the workers of perversity;

I love Yahweh - because he heareth my voice, my supplications;

Even the man whom I used to salute, in whom I put confidence, who used to eat my bread, - hath magnified his heel against me!

O Yahweh, our Lord! How majestic is thy Name, in all the earth, Who hast set thy splendour upon the heavens.

For there is, a Moment, in his anger, a Life-time, in his good-pleasure, In the evening, cometh Weeping to lodge, But, by the morning, -- tis a Shout of Triumph!

It is, better to seek refuge in Yahweh, than to put confidence in man:

When, the assembly of peoples, gather round thee, then, above it - on high, do thou return!

Lest one tear, as a lion, my soul, - and there be no deliverer to rescue.

Thus hath Yahweh helped them, thus hath he delivered them, - He will deliver them from the lawless, and will save them, because they have sought refuge in him.

Unveil thou mine eyes, that I may discern Wondrous things out of thy law.

O Shepherd of Israel, give ear, Thou who leddest forth Joseph like a rock, Thou who art throned on the cherubim, appear!

Trust in Yahweh, and do good, Dwell in the land, and feed on fidelity;

Let an enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it, that he may tread down, to the earth, my life, - and, mine honour - in the dust, he may cause to dwell. Selah.

The messenger of Yahweh encampeth around them who revere him, Thus hath he delivered them.

He is healing the broken in heart, - and binding up their hurts.

Surely, goodness and lovingkindness, will pursue me, all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of Yahweh, evermore.

From Yahweh, are the steps of a man made firm, When, with his way, he is well pleased:

How thy works abound, O Yahweh! All of them - in wisdom, hast thou made, The earth is full of thy possession: -

Give ear, O my people, to mine instruction, Bend your ear to the sayings of my mouth;

Rise! Yahweh! in thine anger, Lift thyself up, because of the haughty outbursts of mine adversaries, Stir up for me the justice thou hast commanded:

O Yahweh my God, If I have done this, If there hath been perversity in my hands:

He shall call me, and I will answer him, With him, will, I, be, in distress, I will rescue him, and will honour him;

The sum of thy word, is truth, and, age-abiding, is every one of thy righteous regulations.

That thou shouldst make him little less than messengers of God, with glory and honour, shouldst crown him?

Compassionate and gracious, is Yahweh, - Slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness.

For, a thousand years, in thine eyes, are , As yesterday, in that it passed away, Or as a watch in the night.

Thy ways, O Yahweh, let me know, Thy paths, teach thou me:

Near is Yahweh to all who call upon him, - to all them who call upon him in faithfulness.

Roll on Yahweh thy way, Trust also in him, and, he, will effectually work:

That men may know that, thou, Whose Name alone is Yahweh, Art Most High over all the earth.

Keeping all his bones, Not, one from among them, is broken.

The father of the fatherless, And the advocate of widows, Is God, in his holy habitation.

Costly in the eyes of Yahweh, is, death, for his men of lovingkindness.

Unto thee, O Yahweh, my soul, would I lift:

The lawless, shall return, to hades, all nations forgetful of God.

They part my garments among them, and, for my vestment, they cast lots.

Give ye thanks to Yahweh, Call upon his Name, Make known, among the peoples, his doings;

Blessing in abundance, have the lovers of thy law, and nothing to make them stumble.

For, he, is our God, And, we, are the people of his pasture, and the flock of his hand? To-day, if, to his voice, ye will hearken,

Give ye thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.

Make a joyful noise unto God, all the earth;

Shout for joy, ye righteous, in Yahweh, To the upright, seemly is praise.

Thou spreadest before me a table, in face of mine adversaries, Thou hast anointed, with oil, my head, My cup, hath run over.

Who forgiveth all thine iniquity, Who healeth all thy diseases;

Thy throne, O God, is to times age-abiding and beyond, A sceptre of equity, is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

Of thy lovingkindness, O Yahweh, the earth, is full, Thy statutes, teach thou me.

Who shall ascend the mountain of Yahweh? And who shall stand in his holy place?

It is good to give thanks to Yahweh, And to sing praises unto thy Name, O Most High;

Of old - the earth, thou didst found, And, the work of thy hands, are the heavens;

When, our God, is in the heavens, Whatsoever he pleased, hath he done.

Not unto us, O Yahweh, not unto us, - but, unto thine own Name, give glory, concerning thy lovingkindness, concerning thy faithfulness.

Know that, Yahweh, he, is God, - He, made us, and not, we ourselves, His people, and the flock of his pasture.

Call upon me, then, in the day of distress, I will deliver thee, that thou mayest glorify me.

Praise ye Yah, Praise ye GOD in his sanctuary, Praise him, in his strong expanse:

Give to Yahweh, ye sons of the mighty, - Give to Yahweh, both glory and strength:

Whom have I in the heavens? And, compared with thee, there is nothing I desire on earth.

Out of the mouth of children and sucklings, hast thou laid a foundation of strength, - because of thine adversaries, to make foe and avenger be still.

BOOK THE FOURTH Lord! a dwelling-place, hast, thou, become to us, From generation to generation:

God, be favorable to us and bless us, Cause his face to shine upon us. Selah.

I believe that I shall see - The goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living,

When the pillars are overthrown, What could, a righteous man, do?

Like the compassion of a father for his children, Is, the compassion of Yahweh, for them who revere him;

Yahweh, hath become king, With majesty, is he clothed, - Clothed is Yahweh, With strength, hath he girded himself, Surely he hath fixed the world, It shall not be shaken.

He hath fixed the earth on its foundations, It is not to be shaken, to times age-abiding and beyond.

The lovingkindnesses of Yahweh, age-abidingly will I sing, To generation after generation, will I make known thy faithfulness with my mouth.

Ask of me, and let me give nations as thine inheritance, and, as thy possession, the ends of the earth:

All ye peoples, clap your hands, Shout unto God, with the voice of triumph;

Yahweh, is mine allotted portion and my cup, Thou, art maintaining my lot.

Be resigned to Yahweh, yea wait with longing for him; Burn not with vexation at him who prospereth in his way, - at the man who doeth wickedness.

Surely, towards God, silence becometh my soul, From him, is my salvation:

O Yahweh! in the heavens, is thy lovingkindness, Thy faithfulness, as far as the fleecy clouds:

El, Elohim, Yahweh, hath spoken, and culled the earth, From the rising of the sun, unto the going in thereof:

Many are the misfortunes of the righteous, But, out of them all, doth Yahweh rescue him.

O God! thy justice, give, unto the king, And thy righteousness, unto the son of a king;

Sacrifice and meal-offering, thou didst not delight in, Ears, didst thou pierce for me, - Ascending-sacrifice and sin-bearer, thou didst not ask:

Point out to me, O Yahweh, thy way, I will walk steadfastly in thy truth, My heart will rejoice to revere thy Name.

But, the patient oppressed-ones, shall inherit the earth, and shall delight themselves over the abundance of prosperity.

My life, he restoreth, He guideth me in right paths, for the sake of his Name.

Against thee - against thee alone, have I sinned, And, wickedness - in thine eyes, have I done, - That thou mayest, Be justified when thou speakest, - Be clear when thou judgest.

Yahweh, in the heavens, hath established his throne, And, his kingdom, over all, hath dominion.

Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and ye perish by the way, for soon might be kindled his anger, - How happy are all who seek refuge in him!

Praise ye Yah, Give ye thanks to Yahweh - For he is good, For age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.

Fixed, is my heart, O God, I will sing and touch the strings, even mine honour.

Yet, I, have installed my king, - on Zion my holy mountain.

The days of our years, have, in them, three score years and ten, And, if, by reason of strength, they have fourscore years, Yet, their boast, is labour and sorrow, For it hath passed quickly, and we have flown away.

Gracious and compassionate, is Yahweh, - slow to anger, and of great lovingkindness.

Surely, towards God, be thou silent, my soul, For, from him, is mine expectation:

To my words, give ear, O Yahweh, Understand thou my softly murmured prayer:

How happy is every one that revereth Yahweh, who walketh in his ways!

Wilt thou cleanse me from sin with hyssop, That I may be pure? Wilt thou wash me, That I may be whiter, than snow?

He sendeth his word, and healeth them, and delivereth them from their graves.

Ascribe ye greatness unto Yahweh with me, and let us exalt his Name together.

In peace, will I lay me down and at once sleep; for, thou, Yahweh alone, wilt cause me, in security, to dwell.

I will declare thy Name unto my brethren, - In the midst of the convocation, will I praise thee.

BOOK THE THIRD Nothing but good, is God, Unto Israel, Unto the pure in heart.

Upon God, depend my salvation and mine honour, My rock of strength, my refuge, are in God.

Lo! faithfulness, hast thou desired in the inward parts, Yea, in the hidden part, wilt thou cause me to know, wisdom.

I have been afflicted exceedingly, - O Yahweh, give me life according to thy word.

Thou hast ascended on high, Thou hast led in procession a body of captives, Thou hast received gifts consisting of men, Yea even the rebellious, That, Yah, Elohim, might settle down to rest.

For right is the word of Yahweh, and, all his wok, is in faithfulness:

But, I, am a worm and no one, a reproach of men, and despised of a people;

But, thou, Yahweh, art a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter up of my head.

By the rivers of Babylon, there, we sat down, yea we wept - when we remembered Zion:

Show me favour, O God, Show me favour, For, in thee, hath my soul sought refuge, - And, in the shadow of thy wings, will I seek refuge, Until the storm of ruin pass by.

The precepts of Yahweh, are right, Rejoicing the heart, The, commandment of Yahweh, is pure, Enlightening the eyes;

How happy is he that is attentive to the poor, In the day of calamity, will Yahweh deliver him:

Bless, O my soul, Yahweh, - Yahweh, my God, thou art exceedingly great, With honour and majesty, hast thou clothed thyself,

Blessed be Yahweh, my Rock, who teacheth my hands to war, my fingers to fight:

As for GOD, blameless is his way, The speech of Yahweh hath been proved, A shield, he is to all who seek refuge in him.

Shouldst give him dominion over the works of thy hands, - All things, shouldst have put under his feet:

Yahweh, out of the heavens, looked down over the sons of men, - to see whether there was one that showed wisdom, enquiring after God: -

For, thou, O My Lord, art good and forgiving, And abundant in lovingkindness, to all who call upon thee.

I will give thee thanks with all my heart, Before the messengers of God, will I praise thee in song:

My sin, would I own unto thee, and, mine iniquity, not hide, I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Yahweh, And, thou, didst forgive the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

My might and melody, is Yah, and he hath become mine by salvation.

All that see me, laugh at me, - They open wide the mouth, They shake the head: -

Yet through all the earth, hath gone forth their voice, - and, to the end of the world, their sayings, - For the sun, hath he set up a tent therein;

They who are sowing with tears, with shouting, shall reap:

The impious hath said in his heart, There is no God! They have acted corruptly, They have wrought abominable perversity, There is none that doeth good: -

He that sitteth in the heavens, will laugh, - My Lord, will mock at them:

Thou, hast observed my downsitting and mine uprising, Thou hast given heed to my desire, from afar:

Counting the number of the stars, To all of them - names, he giveth.

Thus let them who know thy Name, put confidence in thee, that thou hast not forsaken the searchers for thee, O Yahweh.

God, is he that causeth the solitary to dwell in a home, That bringeth out prisoners into prosperity, But, the rebellious, have made their habitation in a sunburnt land.

I will praise Yahweh with all my heart, I will recount all thy wonderful doings:

I will praise the Name of God with a song, And will magnify him with thanksgiving;

But they put in my food - poison! And, for my thirst, they gave for my drink - vinegar!

Yahweh, will carry through my cause, - O Yahweh! thy lovingkindness, is age-abiding, The works of thine own hands, do not thou desert.

How long, O Yahweh, wilt thou wholly forget me? How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

What day I am afraid, I, unto thee will direct my confidence.

Be strong, and let your heart be bold, all ye who are waiting for Yahweh.

To me, then, how precious have thy desires become, O GOD! How numerous, the heads of them!

Show me favour, O Yahweh, for in distress am I, - Wasted with vexation, is mine eye - my soul and my body;

To do thy good-pleasure, O my God, is my delight, And, thy law, is in the midst of mine inward parts:

Serve Yahweh with reverence, and exult with trembling:

Blessed be My Lord! Day by day, he beareth our burden for us, GOD himself, is our salvation. Selah.

Why shouldst thou be cast down, O my soul? And why shouldst thou moan over me? Wait thou for God, for yet shall I praise him, As the triumph of my presence.

Yahweh, is my strength and my shield, In him, hath trusted my heart, and I have found help, - Therefore hath my heart danced for joy, and, with my song, do I praise him.

Let them praise his Name in the dance, with timbrel and lyre, Let them make music to him.

Sing to Yahweh, a song that is new, For, wonderful things, hath he done, His own right hand and hi holy arm, have brought him salvation.

The, reverence of Yahweh, is clean, Enduring evermore, - The, decisions of Yahweh, are faithful, They are righteous, altogether:

I will extol thee, my God, O King, and will bless thy Name, to times age-abiding and beyond:

These, by chariots, and, those, by horses, but, we, by the Name of Yahweh our God, will prevail.

Because, zeal for thy house, hath eaten me up, And, the reproaches of them who have reproached thee, have fallen upon me.

Declareth the transgression of the lawless one, within my heart, There is, no dread of God, before his eyes;

For better is a day in thy courts, than a thousand, I choose rather to stand at the threshold in the house of my God, Than to dwell in the tents of lawlessness.

For good is Yahweh, Age-abiding is his lovingkindness, And, unto generation after generation, his faithfulness.

How happy the man who shall snatch away and dash thy children against the crag.

Intimacy with Yahweh, have they who revere him, His covenant also, he letteth them know.

Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created, And thou renewest the face of the ground.

Because, on me, he hath set firm his love, Therefore will I deliver him, I will set him on high, Because he hath known my Name;

Not according to our sins, hath he dealt with us, Nor according to our iniquities, hath he treated us.

HE.Point out to me, O Yahweh, the way of thy statutes, that I may observe it unto the end.

My substance was not hid from thee, - when I was made in secret, when I was skilfully figured in the lower parts of the earth.

Good is Yahweh to all, and, his tender compassions, are over all his works.

Praise ye Yah, Praise Yahweh, out of the heavens, Praise him, in the heights;

Sing ye to God, Make music of his Name, - Lift up (a song), to him that rideth through the waste plains, - Since Yah is his name, exult ye before him.

How lovely are thy habitations, O Yahweh of hosts!

Trust ye in him all ye assembly of the people, Pour out, before him, your heart, God, is a refuge for us. Selah.

The kings of earth take their station, and, grave men, have met by appointment together, - against Yahweh, and against his Anointed One saying :
