Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth;
Keep watch over the door of my lips [to keep me from speaking thoughtlessly].

Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.

Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.

Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth.

who made the heavens and earth, the sea and all that is in it; who keeps truth forever;

Who gives their rights to those who are crushed down; and gives food to those who are in need of it: the Lord makes the prisoners free;

He gives snow like wool; he sends out ice-drops like dust.

He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow.

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

Let them praise the name of Jehovah, for he it is that commanded, and they were created:

So caused he them to stand perpetually - age-abidingly, A decree, hath he given, and it passeth not beyond.

Praise Yahweh, out of the earth, sea monsters, and all resounding deeps;

fire, hail, snow, fog, and wind storm that carry out his command,

to carry out vengeance on the nations and punishments on the peoples,

To do among them the judgment written, An honour it is for all his saints. Praise ye Jah!

Every breathing thing, let it praise Yah. Praise Yah.
