Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.

I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;

And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room.

Have mercy on me, O Jehovah, for I am in trouble; my eye has become old with grief, my soul and my belly.

For my life is spent with sorrow
And my years with sighing;
My strength has failed because of my iniquity,
And even my body has wasted away.

Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!

Thou hast wrought for those trusting in Thee, Before sons of men. Thou hidest them in the secret place of Thy presence, From artifices of man, Thou concealest them in a tabernacle, From the strife of tongues.

Blessed be the Lord,
For He has shown His marvelous favor and lovingkindness to me [when I was assailed] in a besieged city.

And I -- I have said in my haste, 'I have been cut off from before Thine eyes,' But Thou hast heard the voice of my supplications, In my crying unto Thee.

Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, favored by God] is he whose transgression is forgiven,
And whose sin is covered.

My sin I cause Thee to know, And mine iniquity I have not covered. I have said, 'I confess concerning My transgressions to Jehovah,' And Thou -- Thou hast taken away, The iniquity of my sin. Selah.

Do not ye become like a horse, like a mule, without discernment, - With the bit and bridle of his mouth, hast thou to restrain him, - He will not come near unto thee.

The sinner will be full of trouble; but mercy will be round the man who has faith in the Lord.

Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the nation whose God is the Lord,
The people whom He has chosen as His own inheritance.

Our soul has waited for LORD. He is our help and our shield.

By experience you will see that the Lord is good; happy is the man who has faith in him.

What man has a love of life, and a desire that his days may be increased so that he may see good?

The LORD is close to the brokenhearted, and he delivers those whose spirit has been crushed.

The Lord will be the saviour of the souls of his servants, and no one who has faith in him will be put to shame.

Let destruction come on him unawares. Let his net that he has hidden catch himself. Let him fall into that destruction.

Yes, they opened their mouth wide against me. They said, "Aha. Aha. Our eye has seen it."

This thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.

Let those who are on my side give cries of joy; let them ever say, The Lord be praised, for he has pleasure in the peace of his servant.

An oracle: the wicked has rebellion in the midst of his heart. There is no fear of God before his eyes.

The words of his mouth are wicked and deceitful;
He has ceased to be wise and to do good.

And yet a little, and the wicked is not, And thou hast considered his place, and it is not.

The sinner has evil designs against the upright, lifting up the voice of wrath against him.

The little which the good man has is better than the wealth of evil-doers.

The sinner takes money and does not give it back; but the upright man has mercy, and gives to others.

Even if he has a fall he will not be without help: for the hand of the Lord is supporting him.

Take note of the one who has integrity! Observe the godly! For the one who promotes peace has a future.

For Your arrows have sunk into me and penetrate deeply,
And Your hand has pressed down on me and greatly disciplined me.

My heart throbs, my strength fails me;
And the light of my eyes, even that has gone from me.

I am like a man who does not hear
and has no arguments in his mouth.

Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah.

Truly, every man goes on his way like an image; he is troubled for no purpose: he makes a great store of wealth, and has no knowledge of who will get it.

“I am mute, I do not open my mouth,
Because it is You who has done it.

With reproofs against iniquity, Thou hast corrected man, And dost waste as a moth his desirableness, Only, vanity is every man. Selah.

He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God;
Many will see and fear [with great reverence]
And will trust confidently in the Lord.

How blessed is that strong person who places his trust in the LORD, and who has not acknowledged the proud nor resorted to lies.

Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.

I have proclaimed tidings of righteousness In the great assembly, lo, my lips I restrain not, O Jehovah, Thou hast known.

Your righteousness has not been folded away in my heart; I have made clear your true word and your salvation; I have not kept secret your mercy or your faith from the great meeting.

For innumerable evils have encompassed me;
My sins have overtaken me, so that I am not able to see.
They are more numerous than the hairs of my head,
And my heart has failed me.

Though I am poor and in need, the Lord has me in mind; you are my help and my saviour; let there be no waiting, O my God.

Blessed [is the one who] has regard for [the] poor; in [the] day of disaster, Yahweh delivers him.

Jehovah supporteth on a couch of sickness, All his bed Thou hast turned in his weakness.

They say, He has an evil disease, which will not let him go: and now that he is down he will not get up again.

Even my own close friend in whom I trusted,
Who ate my bread,
Has lifted up his heel against me [betraying me].

By this I have known, That Thou hast delighted in me, Because my enemy shouteth not over me.

As to me, in mine integrity, Thou hast taken hold upon me, And causest me to stand before Thee to the age.

I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

For thou art the God of my strength. Why hast Thou cast me off? Why mourning do I go up and down, In the oppression of an enemy?

It has come to our ears, O God, our fathers have given us the story, of the works which you did in their days, in the old times,

Thou, with Thy hand, nations hast dispossessed. And Thou dost plant them. Thou afflictest peoples, and sendest them away.

But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us.

But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies.

Thou hast made us to turn back from the adversary, and they that hate us spoil for themselves;

Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered us among the heathen.

Thou sellest Thy people -- without wealth, And hast not become great by their price.

My dishonor is before me all day long,
And humiliation has covered my face,

All this has happened to us, even though we have not rejected you or violated your covenant with us.

Our heart has not turned back,
And our steps have not deviated from Your way,

Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death.

If the name of our God has gone out of our minds, or if our hands have been stretched out to a strange god,

For our soul has sunk down into the dust;
Our body cleaves to the earth.

You are fairer than the sons of men;
Graciousness is poured upon Your lips;
Therefore God has blessed You forever.

You love justice and hate evil. For this reason God, your God has anointed you with the oil of joy, elevating you above your companions.

Your robes are full of the smell of all sorts of perfumes and spices; music from the king's ivory houses has made you glad.

The king's daughters are among your honorable women; the queen, dressed in gold from Ophir, has taken her place at your right hand."

God has taken his place in her; she will not be moved: he will come to her help at the dawn of morning.

Come, behold the works of the Lord,
Who has brought desolations and wonders on the earth.

God has ascended his throne amid loud shouts; the Lord has ascended his throne amid the blaring of ram's horns.

The nobles of the nations assemble, along with the people of the God of Abraham, for God has authority over the rulers of the earth. He is highly exalted!

God, in her palaces,
Has made Himself known as a stronghold.

With an east wind thou hast broken the ships of Tarshish.

A man who has riches without understanding, is like the animals that perish.

God, the LORD, has spoken. He has summoned the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting place.

From Zion, the perfection of beauty, God has shined forth.

Our God has appeared and he has not been silent; a devouring fire blazed before him, and a mighty storm swirled around him.

But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?

Yea, thou hast hated instruction, And dost cast My words behind thee.

When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.

Thy mouth thou hast sent forth with evil, And thy tongue joineth deceit together,

These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.

Lo, truth Thou hast desired in the inward parts, And in the hidden part Wisdom Thou causest me to know.

Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering.

Then you will delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt offerings and in whole burnt offerings. Then they will offer bulls on your altar. For the Chief Musician. A contemplation by David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, "David has come to Abimelech's house."

For the music director; a well-written song by David. It was written when Doeg the Edomite went and informed Saul: "David has arrived at the home of Ahimelech." Why do you boast about your evil plans, O powerful man? God's loyal love protects me all day long!

Thou hast loved evil rather than good, Lying, than speaking righteousness. Selah.

Thou hast loved all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.

I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name; for it is good before thy saints.

The [empty-headed] fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt and evil, and have committed repulsive injustice;
There is no one who does good.

God has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men
To see if there is anyone who understands,
Who seeks after God.

Every one of them has turned aside and fallen away;
Together they have become filthy and corrupt;
There is no one who does good, no, not even one.

There they were, in great terror and dread, where there had been no terror or dread;
For God scattered the bones of him who besieged you;
You have put them to shame, because God has rejected them.

For He has rescued me from every trouble,
And my eye has looked with satisfaction (triumph) on my enemies.

My heart is deeply wounded, and the fear of death has come on me.
