That thou mayest bathe thy foot in blood, - The tongue of thy dogs, from the foes, hath its portion.

In the congregations, bless ye God, My Lord, from among the called of Israel:

O God, thou, hast known my folly, And, my wrong-doings, from thee, have not been hid.

Rescue me out of the mire, lest I sink, Let me be rescued, From my haters, and, From abysses of waters:

Then do not hide thy face from thy servant, Because I am in distress, haste thou - answer me!

Oh my God, deliver me, From the hand of the lawless one, From the clutch of the perverse and ruthless one;

For, thou, art my hope, My Lord, Yahweh, My confidence from my youthful days:

Upon thee, have I stayed myself from birth, Thou art he that severed me, from the body of my mother, Of thee, shall be my praise - continually.

O God, be not far from me, O my God, to help me, make haste!

O God, thou hast taught me from my youthful days, And, hitherto, have I been wont to tell of thy wonders;

So let him have dominion, From sea to sea, And from the River unto the ends of the earth;

Because he Rescueth, The needy from the rich, The oppressed, who hath no helper;

From extortion, and, violence, he Redeemeth their life, And precious is their flood in his sight.

Their iniquity, hath proceeded from fatness, They have surpassed the imaginations of the heart;

They mock, and wickedly command oppression, From on high, they command;

For lo! they who are far from thee, shall perish, Thou hast put an end to every one who wandered unchastely from thee.

But, God, hath been my king from aforetime, Working Deliverances in the midst of the earth.

Thou, didst set up all the bounds of the earth, As for summer and winter, thou, didst form them!

Arise! O God, plead thine own cause, Remember the reproach of thee, from the impious one, all the day:

For neither from east nor west, Nor from the wilderness of thee mountains cometh exaltation ;

For, a cup, is in the hand of Yahweh, Whose wine is foaming, It is full of spiced wine, Which he hath caused to flow from one to another, - Surely, the dregs thereof, they shall drain out - they shall drink, Even all the lawless ones of the earth.

We will not withhold them from their children, To a later generation, recounting the praises of Yahweh, Even his might and his wonders which he wrought;

They had not turned away from what they had longed for, Yet was their food in their mouth,

They remembered not his hand - The day, When he ransomed them from the adversary;

He leveled a path for his anger, Withheld not, from death, their soul, But, their life - to the pestilence, he delivered:

And made choice of David his servant, And took him from among the folds of the sheep:

From after the sucking ewes, he brought him in, - To be shepherd to Jacob his people, And to Israel, his inheritance.

So will we not draw back from thee, Thou wilt bring us to life, And, on thy Name, will we call.

I took away, from the burden, his shoulder, his hands, from the clay, were set free.

Then would he feed them from the marrow of the wheat, Yea, out of the rock - with honey, would I satisfy thee.

They have said - Come, and let us wipe them out from being a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.

They go from strength to strength, Each one appeareth before God in Zion.

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.

Thou hast withdrawn all thine indignation, Thou hast ceased from the glow of thing anger.

To times age-abiding, wilt thou be angry with us? Wilt thou prolong thine anger, from generation to generation?

For, thy lovingkindness, is great towards me, And thou hast rescued my soul from Hades beneath.

Among the dead, is my couch, - Like the slain that lie in the grave, Where thou rememberest them no more, Yea, they, from thy hand, are cut off;

Thou hast far removed mine acquaintances from me, - Thou hast made me an abomination unto them, Shut up, and I cannot go forth!

Wherefore, O Yahweh, shouldst thou reject my soul? shouldst thou hide thy face from me?

Afflicted have I been, and dying, from youth, I have borne the terror of thee - I shall be distracted!

Thou hast far removed from me, lover and friend, Mine acquaintances, are in darkness.

Then spakest thou in vision of thy men of lovingkindness, and saidst - I have laid help upon a mighty one, I have exalted one chosen from among the people;

With whom my hand shall be firm, Yea, mine arm, shall strengthen him;

And I will shatter, from before him, his adversaries, And, them who hate him, will I smite;

But, my lovingkindness, will I not frustrate from them, Neither will I falsify my faithfulness;

Who is the man that shall live, and not see death? That can deliver his soul from the hand of hades. Selah.

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

For, he, will rescue thee, From the snare of the fowler, From the destructive pestilence.

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;

Established hath been thy throne from of old, From age-past times, thou art.

That thou mayest give him rest from the days of misfortune, Until there be digged - for the lawless one - a pit.

Whose, is the sea, for, he, made it, And, the dry land, his hands, did form.

Sing to Yahweh, bless ye his Name, - Tell the tidings, from day to day, of his salvation:

Ye lovers of Yahweh! be haters of wrong, - He preserveth the lives of his men of lovingkindness, From the hand of the lawless, will he rescue them.

A perverse heart, shall depart from me, A maker of mischief, will I not acknowledge;

That he looked down, out of his holy height, Yahweh, from the heavens unto the earth, directed his gaze; -

Who redeemeth, from destruction, thy life, Who crowneth thee, with lovingkindness and compassion:

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

But, the lovingkindness of Yahweh, is from one age even to another, Upon them who revere him, And his righteousness, to children's children: -

Over them, the bird of the heavens settleth down, From amidst the foliage, they utter a voice.

The young lions, roaring for prey, And seeking, from GOD, their food.

And they wandered from nation to nation, From a kingdom, to another people.

And saved them from the hand of one full of hatred, And redeemed them out of the hand of the foe;

So the waters covered their adversaries, Not one from among them, was left.

Then would he have bidden to destroy them, - had not Moses his chosen, stood in the breach before him, To turn back his wrath from destroying.

Save us, O Yahweh our God, and gather us from among the nations, That we may give thanks unto thy holy Name, That we may triumph aloud in thy praise.

Blessed be Yahweh, God of Israel, from one age even unto another, And all the people, shall say, Amen! Praise ye Yah!

Let the redeemed of Yahweh say, Whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the adversary;

And, out of the lands, hath gathered them - From the east and from the west, From the north and from the south.

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

But he hath set the needy on high from affliction, and made families, like a flock: -

Because he loved cursing, May it have come upon him, Because he delighted not in blessing, May it have kept far from him;

This, be the reward of mine accusers, from Yahweh, even of them who are speaking wrongfully against my life.

My knees, tremble from fasting, and, my flesh, faileth of fatness:

Because he standeth at the right hand of the needy, To save, from them who would pass sentence on his life.

The works of his hands, are faithful and just, Firm are all his precepts;

From the rising of the sun unto the going in thereof, Worthy to be praised, is the Name of Yahweh:

That raiseth, out of the dust, the poor, From the dunghill, uplifteth the needy;

When Israel came forth out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from among a people of strange tongue,

But, we, will bless Yah, from henceforth even unto times age-abiding. Praise ye Yah.

For thou hast rescued my soul from death, - mine eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.

From Yahweh, hath this come to pass, The same, is marvellous in our eyes.

With all my heart, have I sought thee, Suffer me not to be led astray from thy commandments.

A sojourner, am, I, in the earth, Do not hide from me, thy commandments.

Thou hast rebuked the proud as accursed, who stray from thy commandments.

Roll from off me, reproach and contempt, For, thy testimonies, have I observed.

The way of falsehood, take thou from me, and, with thy law, O favour me.

Turn away mine eyes, from beholding vanity, In thy way, give me life.

And do not snatch away from my mouth the word of truth in any wise, because, for thy regulation, have I waited.

Insolent men, have derided me exceedingly, From thy law, have I not swerved.

I have remembered thy regulations, which have come down from age-past times, O Yahweh, and have consoled myself.

From every way of wickedness, have I withheld my feet, that I might keep thy word.

From thy regulations, have I not turned aside, for, thou, hast directed me.

The lawless have set a snare for me, Yet, from thy precepts, have I not strayed.

Depart from me, ye evil-doers, - that I may observe the commandments of my God.

Thou hast made light of all who stray from thy statutes, for their fraud is, falsehood.

My flesh, bristled up from dread of thee, and, of thy regulations, stand I in fear.

Set me free from the oppression of man, so will I keep thy precepts.

They have drawn near, who pursue villainy, From thy law, have they gone far away.

Long, have I known, from thy testimonies, That, to times age-abiding, thou didst establish them.
