I will never forget thy commandments, for with them thou quickenest me.

The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies.

Beyond mine enemies, will thy commandment make me wise, for, age-abidingly, shall it be mine.

Beyond the elders, will I show understanding, for, thy precepts, have I observed.

Out of thy precepts, will I get understanding, For this cause, do I hate every false way.

I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments.

Free-will-offerings of my mouth, Accept, I pray Thee, O Jehovah, And Thy judgments teach Thou me.

Away from me, ye wicked! I will keep the commandments of my God!

Sustain me, God, as you have promised, and I will live. Do not let me be ashamed of my hope.

Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually.

I have done what is good and right: you will not give me into the hands of those who are working against me.

Since I am your servant, give me understanding, so I will know your decrees.

The entrance of thy words will enlighten; causing the simple to understand.

Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts.

Mine eyes will bring down streams of waters because they will not watch thy laws.

Tsadhe.
Righteous are You, O Lord,
And upright are Your judgments.

Your righteous decrees are eternal; give me understanding, and I will live. Qof

{Kuf} I call with my whole heart; hear me, O LORD. I will keep thy statutes.

I call upon thee; save me, and I will keep thy testimonies.

I anticipated the dawn, and I will cry: I hoped for thy words

I hated falsehood, and I will abhor it: I loved thy law.

My lips shall seek praise, for thou wilt teach me thy laws.

Let me live, and I will praise you; let your ordinances help me.

Song of ascensions. I called to Jehovah in straits to me, and he will answer me.

What will be given to you, and what will be done to you, you treacherous tongue?

{A Song of degrees.} I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

He will not suffer thy foot to be moved, and he that keepeth thee will not sleep.

Behold, He who keeps Israel
Will neither slumber [briefly] nor sleep [soundly].

The sun will not ravage you by day, nor the moon by night.

The LORD will guard you from all evil, preserving your life.

The LORD will guard your goings and comings, from this time on and forever. A Davidic Song of Ascents

{A song of the stairs} I was glad when they said unto me, "We will go in to the house of the LORD."

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you will prosper.

For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will wish thee prosperity.

Yea because of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek to do thee good.

Look, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a female servant look to the hand of her mistress, so my eyes will look to the Lord, our God, until he shows us favor.

A song of ascents. Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion; it cannot be upended and will endure forever.

For evil's scepter will not rest on the land that has been allotted to the righteous, and so the righteous will not direct themselves to do wrong.

But for those who choose their own devious paths, the LORD will lead them away, along with those who practice evil. Peace be upon Israel. A Song of Ascents

Then our mouth will be filled with laughter, and our tongue with rejoicing: then shall they say among the nations, Jehovah magnified to do with those.

Those who weep while they plant will sing for joy while they harvest.

The one who goes out weeping, carrying a bag of seeds, will surely return with a joyful song, bearing sheaves from his harvest. A Solomonic Song of Ascents

In vain for you rising early to arise from after sitting; eating the bread of toils: so will he give to his beloved sleep.

How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them! He will not be ashamed as they confront their enemies at the city gate. A Song of Ascents

You will eat from the work of your hands; you will be happy, and it will go well for you.

Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your children like olive shoots surrounding your table.

See how the man will be blessed who fears the LORD.

Jehovah will bless thee out of Zion; and mayest thou see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life,

and will see your children’s children!

Peace be with Israel.

All them that have an evil will to Zion shall be confounded, and made to turn back from it.

Those who pass by will not say, "May you experience the Lord's blessing! We pronounce a blessing on you in the name of the Lord."

If thou, LORD wilt be extreme to mark what is done amiss, O LORD who may abide it?

I wait for the LORD; my soul waits, and I will hope in his word.

And he will redeem Israel from all its sins. A Davidic Song of Ascents

"I will not come within the tabernacle of my house, nor climb up into my bed;

I will not suffer mine eyes to sleep, nor mine eyelids to slumber,

We will go into his tabernacle, and fall low on our knees before his footstool.

For sake of David thy servant thou wilt not turn away the face of thy Messiah.

The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.

If thy children will keep my covenant, and my testimony that I shall learn them; their children also shall sit upon thy seat for evermore."

"This shall be my rest; here will I dwell, for I have a delight therein.

I will bless her victuals with increase, and will satisfy her poor with bread.

I will deck her priests with health, and her saints shall rejoice and sing.

There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.

His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.

It is like the dew of Hermon, which flows down upon the hills of Zion. Indeed that is where the Lord has decreed a blessing will be available -- eternal life.

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

For the LORD will avenge his people, and be gracious unto his servants.

Those who craft them and all who trust in them will become like them.

And he will bring forth Israel from the midst of them: for his mercy is forever.

And he will slay mighty kings: for his mercy is forever.

And he will redeem us from our enemies: for his mercy is forever.

Daughter of Babylon! You devastator! How blessed will be the one who pays you back for what you have done to us.

How blessed will be the one who seizes your young children and pulverizes them against the cliff!

{Of David} I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; even before the gods will I sing praises unto thee.

I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name, because of thy loving-kindness and truth; for thou hast magnified thy word, according unto thy great name.

In the day I called, and thou wilt answer me; thou wilt enlarge me with strength in my soul.

LORD, all the kings of the earth will give you thanks, for they have heard what you have spoken.

They will sing about the ways of the LORD, for great is the glory of the LORD!

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

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.

The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.

To the overseer, to David a chanting. O Jehovah thou didst search me, and thou wilt know.

Thou didst press me behind and before, and thou wilt place thine hand upon me.

Where can I flee from your spirit? Or where will I run from your presence?

your hand will guide me there, too, while your right hand keeps a firm grip on me.

If I say, "Darkness will surely conceal me, and the light around me will become night,"

Even darkness, will not conceal from thee, - but, night, like day, will shine, So is the darkness, as the light!

For thou didst possess my reins: thou wilt cover me in my mother's womb.

I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Wonderful are Your works,
And my soul knows it very well.

Were I to count them, they would number more than the sand. When I awake, I will be with you.

Wilt thou not slay the wicked, O God, that the bloodthirsty might depart from me?

For they will say to thee for mischief; thine enemies were lifted up for vanity.

Rescue me, O Yahweh, from the men of mischief, From the men of violence, wilt thou preserve me:

Who reckoned evils in the heart; all the day they will gather together wars.

Keep me, O Yahweh, from the hands of the lawless one, From the man of violence, wilt thou preserve me, - who have devised, to thrust at my steps:

Lord, do not grant the desires of the wicked;
do not let them achieve their goals.
Otherwise, they will become proud.Selah

May he rain down fiery coals upon them! May he throw them into the fire! From bottomless pits they will not escape.

A slanderer will not endure on the earth; calamity will hunt down a violent man and strike him down.

I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted
And justice for the poor.
