Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast.

They are filled from the fatness of Thy house, And the stream of Thy delights Thou dost cause them to drink.

For you are the one who gives and sustains life.

O spread forth thy loving-kindness unto them that know thee, and thy righteousness unto them that are true of heart.

There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.

For as grass speedily they are cut off, And as the greenness of the tender grass do fade.

For evil doers are cut off, As to those waiting on Jehovah, they possess the land.

The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the afflicted and needy, to slay those that are upright in the way:

Their sword doth enter into their own heart, And their bows are shivered.

Better the little of the righteous man, than the abundance of the lawless who are mighty;

For the arms of the wicked are shivered, And Jehovah is sustaining the righteous.

The days of the upright are numbered by the Lord, and their heritage will be for ever.

They are not ashamed in a time of evil, And in days of famine they are satisfied.

But the wicked shall pass, and the enemies of Jehovah shall be like the beauty of pastures; they are consumed, like smoke they perish.

Evil men borrow, but do not repay their debt, but the godly show compassion and are generous.

For His blessed ones do possess the land, And His reviled ones are cut off.

The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.

All the day he [is] gracious and lends, and his children [are] a blessing.

For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

The sinners are watching the upright man, desiring to put him to death.

The Lord will not leave him in his hand
Or let him be condemned when he is judged.

Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

Sinful rebels are totally destroyed; evil men have no future.

For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.

For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.

Lord, all my longings are before you, and my groaning is not hidden from you.

My heart is panting, my power hath forsaken me, And the light of mine eyes, Even they are not with me.

My lovers and friends stand looking upon my trouble, and my kinsmen are gone afar off.

Yea they who are seeking my life, have laid snares, and they who are asking my harm, have threatened engulfing ruin, And, deceitful things - all day long, do they mutter.

Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.

For I said, “Don’t let them rejoice over me—
those who are arrogant toward me when I stumble.”

For I am ready to fall;
My sorrow is continually before me.

But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is.

I said, "I will guard my ways {that I may not sin} with my tongue. I will keep a muzzle over my mouth as long as [the] wicked [are] before me."

Look, you make my days short-lived, and my life span is nothing from your perspective. Surely all people, even those who seem secure, are nothing but vapor.

Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.

But now, O Lord, upon what am I relying? You are my only hope!

I remain silent; I do not open my mouth, for you are the one who acted.

You severely discipline people for their sins; like a moth you slowly devour their strength. Surely all people are a mere vapor. (Selah)

Happy is the man who has faith in the Lord, and does not give honour to the men of pride or to those who are turned away to deceit.

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.

Receiving sacrifices and offerings are not your primary concern. You make that quite clear to me! You do not ask for burnt sacrifices and sin offerings.

For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.

They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are seeking my soul to destroy it, They are turned backward, And are ashamed, who are desiring my evil.

They are desolate because of their shame, Who are saying to me, 'Aha, aha.'

All seeking Thee rejoice and are glad in Thee, Those loving Thy salvation say continually, 'Jehovah is magnified.'

But I [am] poor and needy. Let my Lord consider me. You [are] my help and my deliverer. O my God, do not delay.

Blessed is the one who is considerate of the destitute; the LORD will deliver him when the times are evil.

All my haters are talking secretly together against me; they are designing my downfall.

By this I know that you are pleased with me, for my enemy does not triumph over me.

And as for me, you are my support in my righteousness, giving me a place before your face for ever.

Why are you {in despair}, O my soul, and disturbed within me? Hope in God, because I will again praise him, [for] the salvation of his presence.

Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.

The cruel words of my haters are like a crushing of my bones; when they say to me every day, Where is your God?

Why are you {in despair}, O my soul? And why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God, because I shall again praise him, {my salvation} and my God.

because you [are] the God of my refuge. Why have you rejected me? Why must I go about mourning because of [the] oppression of [the] enemy?

Why are you {in despair}, O my soul? And why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God, because I will again praise him, {my salvation} and my God.

You are my king, O God. Command victories for Jacob.

Through you will we overcome our haters; by your name will they be crushed under our feet who are violent against us.

Because of this we are turned back by the attacker: those who have hate for us take our goods for themselves.

You have made us like sheep which are taken for meat; we are put to flight among the nations.

Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.

Our heart has not turned back,
Nor have our steps wandered from Your path,

Though you have let us be crushed in the place of jackals, though we are covered with darkest shade.

Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.

Wake up, Lord! Why are You sleeping?
Get up! Don’t reject us forever!

Why do you look the other way, and ignore the way we are oppressed and mistreated?

For our souls are crushed down to the dust: our bodies are stretched out on the earth.

My heart is flowing over with good things; my words are of that which I have made for a king; my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

You are [the most] handsome of [the] sons of humankind; grace is poured out on your lips; therefore God has blessed you forever.

And go nobly on in your power, because you are good and true and without pride; and your right hand will be teaching you things of fear.

Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the people fall under thee.

All your robes [are scented with] myrrh and aloes [and] cassia. From palaces of ivory stringed instruments gladden you.

Daughters of kings are among thy precious ones, A queen hath stood at thy right hand, In pure gold of Ophir.

So will the king have a great desire for you, seeing how beautiful you are; because he is your lord, give him honour.

All glorious - the daughter of a king sitteth within, Brocades, wrought with gold, are her clothing!

In divers colours she is brought to the king, Virgins -- after her -- her companions, Are brought to thee.

They are brought with joy and gladness, They come into the palace of the king.

Instead of thy fathers are thy sons, Thou dost appoint them for princes in all the earth.

Therefore we won't be afraid, though the earth changes, though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas;

Roar -- troubled are its waters, Mountains they shake in its pride. Selah.

Nations are in uproar, kingdoms are overthrown. God gives a shout, the earth dissolves.

The princes of the people are gathered together, even the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth belong unto God: he is greatly exalted.

As soon as they see, they are shocked; they are terrified, they quickly retreat.

Rejoice doth Mount Zion, The daughters of Judah are joyful, For the sake of Thy judgments.

Give attention to this, all you peoples; let your ears be open, all you who are living in the world.

My mouth speaketh wise things, And the meditations of my heart are things of understanding.

What cause have I for fear in the days of evil, when the evil-doing of those who are working for my downfall is round about me?

Even of those whose faith is in their wealth, and whose hearts are lifted up because of their stores.

Their heart is: Their houses are to the age, Their tabernacles to all generations. They proclaimed their names over the lands.

but, despite their wealth, people do not last, they are like animals that perish.

This their way is folly for them, And their posterity with their sayings are pleased. Selah.

Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling.

Be not afraid when [an ungodly] man becomes rich,
When the wealth and glory of his house are increased;

Wealthy people do not understand; they are like animals that perish.

Not for thy sacrifices do I reprove thee, Yea, thy burnt-offerings Are before Me continually.

For all the beasts of the forest are mine, and so are the cattle upon a thousand hills.

I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.
