But his delight is only in the Law of Jehovah; and in His Law he meditates day and night.

The wicked are not so, but are like chaff which the wind drives away.

For Jehovah knows the way of the righteous; but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and you perish from the way, when His wrath is kindled in but a little time. Blessed are all who put their trust in Him.

But You, O Jehovah, are a shield for me; my glory, the One who lifts up my head.

But know that Jehovah has set apart the godly for Himself. Jehovah hears when I call to Him.

Tremble, and sin not; speak within your own heart on your bed and be still. Selah.

You have put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their grain and their wine increased.

But I, in the abundance of Your grace, I will come into Your house; I will worship in Your fear toward Your holy temple.

But let all who put their trust in You rejoice; let them always shout for joy, because You defend them. And let those who love Your name be joyful in You.

My soul also is exceedingly troubled; but You, O Jehovah, how long?

I am weary in my groaning; all the night I make my bed swim; I melt my couch with my tears.

A song of David, which he sang to Jehovah, concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite. O Jehovah my God, in You I put my trust; save me from all who pursue me, and deliver me,

O let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the just. For the righteous God tries the minds and hearts.

He dug a pit and bored it, and has fallen into the ditch which he made.

You made him rule over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet:

You have rebuked the heathen, You have destroyed the wicked, You have put out their name forever and ever.

But Jehovah shall endure forever; He has prepared His throne for judgment.

And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; for You, Jehovah, have not forsaken those who seek You.

The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made; their foot is caught in the net which they hid.

Put them in fear, O Jehovah, let the nations know they are but men. Selah.

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. I put my trust in Jehovah; how can you say to me, Flee like a bird to the mountains;

Jehovah tries the righteous; but His soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence,

But I have trusted in Your mercy; my heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.

in whose eyes the reprobate is despised, but he honors those who fear Jehovah; he has sworn to his hurt, and does not change it;

he has not put out his money at interest, nor has he taken a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall not be moved forever.

A Secret Treasure of David. Watch over me, O God; for in You do I put my trust.

They went before me in the day of my calamity; but Jehovah was my stay.

For all His judgments were before me, and I did not put away His Precepts from me.

For You will save the afflicted people, but will bring down high looks.

They cried, but there was none to save; even to Jehovah, but He did not answer them.

Then I beat them small as the dust before the wind; I cast them out like the dirt in the streets.

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; but we will remember the name of Jehovah our God.

They have bowed down and fallen; but we have risen and stand upright.

O my God, I cry in the daytime, but You do not answer; and in the night, and am not silent.

But You are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel.

But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised by the people.

But You, O Jehovah, be not far from Me; O My strength, hurry to help Me!

For He has not despised nor hated the affliction of the afflicted; and He has not hidden His face from him, but when he cried to Him, He heard.

Keep my soul, and deliver me; let me not be ashamed, for I put my trust in You.

But I will walk in my truthfulness; redeem me and be merciful to me.

A Psalm of David. I will cry to You, O Jehovah; my Rock, do not be deaf to me, lest, if You be silent to me, I become like those who go down into the pit.

O Jehovah, You have brought up my soul from the grave; You have kept me alive, so that I should not go down to the Pit.

For His anger is only a moment; in His favor is life. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

What profit is in my blood, in going down to the pit? Shall the dust praise You? Shall it tell of Your truth?

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. In You, O Jehovah, I put my trust; let me never be ashamed; deliver me in Your righteousness.

I have hated those who take heed to lying vanities; but I trust in Jehovah.

I was a reproach among all my foes, but especially among my neighbors, and a fear to my friends; those who saw me outside fled from me.

But I trusted in You, O Jehovah; I said, You are my God.

Let the lying lips be put to silence; the lips which speak proudly against the righteous, with pride and scorn.

Be not like the horse, or like the mule, who have no understanding, whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, so that they do not come near you.

The wicked has many sorrows, but mercy embraces him who trusts in Jehovah.

The young lions lack, and suffer hunger; but those who seek Jehovah shall not lack any good thing.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Jehovah delivers him out of them all.

Let them be humbled and put to shame, those who seek after my soul; let them be turned back and be brought to blushing, those who plot evil to me.

For without cause they have spread their net for me in a pit-net; without cause they have dug for my soul.

But when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth; I humbled my soul with fastings; and my prayer returned into my own bosom.

But in my stumbling they rejoiced, and gathered themselves; the defamers gathered themselves against me, and I knew not; they tore and were not silent,

For they do not speak peace; but they think deceitful things against the quiet ones of the earth.

He plots evil on his bed; he sets himself in a way that is not good; he does not hate evil.

For evildoers shall be cut off; but those who wait on Jehovah, they shall inherit the earth.

It is but a little while, and the wicked shall not be; yea, you shall search his place, and he shall not be.

But the meek shall inherit the earth, and shall delight themselves in the overflowing of peace.

For the arms of the wicked shall be broken; but Jehovah upholds the righteous.

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

The wicked borrows, and never pays again; but the righteous shows mercy, and gives.

For Jehovah loves judgment and does not forsake His saints; they are kept forever; but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not; and I looked for him, but he could not be found.

But the sinners are destroyed together; the end of the wicked is cut off.

But the salvation of the righteous is from Jehovah; He is their strength in the time of trouble.

But like a deaf one, I do not hear; and I am like a dumb one who opens not his mouth.

He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet on a rock, and gave sureness to my steps.

And He has put a new song in my mouth, praise to our God; many shall see it and fear, and shall trust in Jehovah.

Let them be ashamed and humbled together, those who seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame, those who wish me evil.

But I am poor and needy; Jehovah will care for me; You are my help and my deliverer; O my God, do not wait.

Jehovah will hold him up on the bed of sickness; You will change all his bed in his illness.

But You, O Jehovah, be merciful to me, and raise me up, so that I may repay them.

For they did not get the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them; but it was Your right hand, and Your arm, and the light of Your face, because You favored them.

But You have saved us from our enemies, and have put them to shame, those who hated us.

Yea, for Your sake we are put to death all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.

But man, though high in honor, does not remain; he is like the animals that perish.

But God will redeem my soul from the hand of the grave; for He will take me. Selah.

Man in honor, but without understanding, is like the animals; they shall perish.

But to the wicked, God says, What is it to you, to declare My Precepts, and to take up My covenant in your mouth?

These things you have done, and I have kept silence; you thought that I was like yourself, but I will rebuke you, and set in order before your eyes.

Behold, the man who did not make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, he was strong in his wickedness.

But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever.

There they dreaded with dread, where no dread was; for God has scattered the bones of him who camps against you; you have put them to shame because God rejects them.

but it is you, a man my rank, my guide and my friend.

He has put forth his hands against those who were at peace with him; he has broken his covenant.

The butterings of his mouth were forked, but war was in his heart; his words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.

But You, O God, will bring them down into the pit of ruin; bloody and deceitful men shall not live half their days; but I will trust in You.

In God I will praise His Word; in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do to me.

You number my wandering; O put my tears into Your bottle; are they not in Your Book?

In God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid of what man can do to me.

They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down; they have dug a pit before me, they have fallen into it. Selah.

But You, O Jehovah, shall laugh at them; You will mock at all the nations.

But I will sing of Your power; yes, I will sing aloud of Your mercy in the morning; for You have been my strong tower and hiding-place in the day of my trouble.

Surely they have plotted to cast him down from his great height; they delight in lies; they bless with their mouth, but they curse in their heart. Selah.

when I remember You on my bed and think of You in the night watches.
