They -- they have bowed and have fallen, And we have risen and station ourselves upright.

You have given him the desire of his heart, and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah

He asked you to sustain his life, and you have granted him long life and an enduring dynasty.

His honor [is] great because of your help. Splendor and majesty you have bestowed upon him.

For you have made him most blessed forever: you have made him exceedingly glad with your presence.

Though they have {plotted} evil against you, [though] they have planned a scheme, they will not prevail.

My God, my God why have you forsaken me? [Why are you] far from helping me, [far from] the words of my groaning?

O my God, I call by day and you do not answer, and [by] night but I have no rest.

"He trusted in the LORD, that he would deliver him; let him deliver him, if he will have him."

On Thee I have been cast from the womb, From the belly of my mother Thou art my God.

Do not remain far away from me, for trouble is near and I have no one to help me.

Many bulls have surrounded me, Mighty ones of Bashan have compassed me,

They have opened against me their mouth, A lion tearing and roaring.

As waters I have been poured out, And separated themselves have all my bones, My heart hath been like wax, It is melted in the midst of my bowels.

My strength is dry like a potsherd, and my tongue is sticking [to] my jaws; and you have placed me in [the] dust of death.

And to the dust of death thou appointest me, For surrounded me have dogs, A company of evil doers have compassed me, Piercing my hands and my feet.

Save me from the lion's mouth! Yes, from the horns of the wild oxen, you have answered me.

You who have fear of the Lord, give him praise; all you seed of Jacob, give him glory; go in fear of him, all you seed of Israel.

The poor will have a feast of good things: those who make search for the Lord will give him praise: your heart will have life for ever.

And the fat ones of earth have eaten, And they bow themselves, Before Him bow do all going down to dust, And he who hath not revived his soul.

Thou prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. Thou have anointed my head with oil. My cup runs over.

My God, in Thee I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed, Let not mine enemies exult over me.

Cause me to tread in Thy truth, and teach me, For Thou art the God of my salvation, Near Thee I have waited all the day.

Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.

Because of your name, O Lord, let me have forgiveness for my sin, which is very great.

His soul will be full of good things, and his seed will have the earth for its heritage.

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

Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.

The distresses of my heart have enlarged themselves, From my distresses bring me out.

See my enemies, for they have been many, And with violent hatred they have hated me.

Protect me and deliver me! Please do not let me be humiliated, for I have taken shelter in you!

Integrity and uprightness do keep me, For I have waited on Thee.

By David. Judge me, O Jehovah, for I in mine integrity have walked, And in Jehovah I have trusted, I slide not.

For Thy kindness is before mine eyes, And I have walked habitually in Thy truth.

I have not sat with vain men, And with dissemblers I enter not.

I have hated the assembly of evil doers, And with the wicked I sit not.

That I may give out the voice of praise, and make public all the wonders which you have done.

Jehovah, I have loved the habitation of Thy house, And the place of the tabernacle of Thine honour.

But I have integrity! Rescue me and have mercy on me!

I have a safe resting-place for my feet; I will give praise to the Lord in the meetings of the people.

When evil doers come near to me to eat my flesh, My adversaries and mine enemies to me, They have stumbled and fallen.

Even if an army came against me with its tents, my heart would have no fear: if war was made on me, my faith would not be moved.

One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in his temple.

Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

My heart said to thee, I have sought thy face. O LORD, I will seek thy face.

Do not hide your face from me; do not turn your servant away in anger. You have been my help; do not abandon nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.

When my father and my mother Have forsaken me, then doth Jehovah gather me.

Give me not to the will of my adversaries, For risen against me have false witnesses, And they breathe out violence to me.

I would have fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

By David. Unto Thee, O Jehovah, I call, My rock, be not silent to me! Lest Thou be silent to me, And I have been compared With those going down to the pit.

Repay them according to what they have done—
according to the evil of their deeds.
Repay them according to the work of their hands;
give them back what they deserve.

Because they have no respect for the works of the Lord, or for the things which his hands have made, they will be broken down and not lifted up by him.

Jehovah is my strength, and my shield, In Him my heart trusted, and I have been helped. And my heart exulteth, And with my song I thank Him.

I will exalt you, O Yahweh, because you have drawn me up, and have not made my enemies rejoice over me.

Jehovah my God, I have cried to Thee, And Thou dost heal me.

O Yahweh, you have brought my life up from Sheol. You preserved me alive from among those going down to [the] pit.

And I -- I have said in mine ease, 'I am not moved -- to the age.

O Jehovah, in Thy good pleasure, Thou hast caused strength to remain for my mountain,' Thou hast hidden Thy face -- I have been troubled.

Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.

You have turned my wailing into my dancing. You have removed my sackcloth and clothed me [with] joy

To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. In Thee, O Jehovah, I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed to the age, In Thy righteousness deliver me.

Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength.

Into your hand I commit my spirit. You have redeemed me, O Yahweh, faithful God.

I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD.

I will exult and rejoice in your loyal love. Because you have seen my misery, you know the distresses of my life.

And you have not delivered me into [the] hand of [the] enemy. You have set my feet in a broad place.

Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.

For my life hath been consumed in sorrow And my years in sighing. Feeble because of mine iniquity hath been my strength, And my bones have become old.

Among all mine adversaries I have been a reproach, And to my neighbours exceedingly, And a fear to mine acquaintances, Those seeing me without -- fled from me.

I have been forgotten as dead out of mind, I have been as a perishing vessel.

For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.

And I on Thee -- I have trusted, O Jehovah, I have said, 'Thou art my God.'

Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.

How abundant [is] your goodness that you have stored up for [those who] fear you, that you perform for those who take refuge in you before [the] children of humankind.

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.

Love the Lord, all you faithful followers of his! The Lord protects those who have integrity, but he pays back in full the one who acts arrogantly.

When I have kept silence, become old have my bones, Through my roaring all the day.

I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.

Many pains come to the wicked,
but the one who trusts in the Lord
will have faithful love surrounding him.

By the word of Jehovah The heavens have been made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host.

For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.

Let Thy kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, As we have waited for Thee!

My soul will say great things of the Lord: the poor in spirit will have knowledge of it and be glad.

Let your eyes be turned to him and you will have light, and your faces will not be shamed.

The angel of the Lord is ever watching over those who have fear of him, to keep them safe.

Keep yourselves in the fear of the Lord, all you his saints; for those who do so will have no need of anything.

Young lions have lacked and been hungry, And those seeking Jehovah lack not any good,

Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit.

A righteous person will have many troubles, but the LORD will deliver him from them all.

For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul.

And my soul will have joy in the Lord; it will be glad in his salvation.

Violent witnesses rise up, That which I have not known they ask me.

They repay me evil for the good I have done; I am overwhelmed with sorrow.

And I -- in their sickness my clothing is sackcloth, I have humbled with fastings my soul, And my prayer unto my bosom returneth.

As if a friend, as if my brother, I walked habitually, As a mourner for a mother, Mourning I have bowed down.

And -- in my halting they have rejoiced, And have been gathered together, Gathered against me were the smiters, And I have not known, They have rent, and they have not ceased;

With profane jesters for bread, they have gnashed their teeth against me.

They also made wide their mouths against me. They said, "Aha! Aha! Our eyes have seen [it]."

You have seen, O Yahweh. Do not be deaf. O Lord, do not be far from me.
