Now, therefore, ye kings, show your prudence, Be admonished, ye judges of earth:

Know ye, then, that Yahweh hath set apart the man of lovingkindness for himself: Yahweh, will hear, when I cry to him.

Thou hast put gladness in my heart, - beyond the season when, their corn and their new wine, have increased.

For, not a GOD finding pleasure in lawlessness, art thou, and wrong can be no guest of thine:

For, in death, is no remembrance of thee, - In hades, who shall give thanks unto thee?

Lest one tear, as a lion, my soul, - and there be no deliverer to rescue.

Thus let them who know thy Name, put confidence in thee, that thou hast not forsaken the searchers for thee, O Yahweh.

Appoint, O Yahweh, a terror for them, - Let the nations know that they are men. Selah.

He hath said in his heart, I shall not be shaken, - From generation to generation, shall I be in no misfortune.

To vindicate the fatherless and the crushed, A man of the earth, shall, no further, cause terror!

O save Yahweh, for the man of lovingkindness, is no more, for the faithful, have vanished, from among the sons of men.

Because of violence done to the poor, because of the crying of the needy, Now, will I arise! O may Yahweh say, - I will place him in safety - let him puff at him!

The impious hath said in his heart - There is no God! They have acted corruptly, they have done an abominable deed, there is none that doeth good.

Thou wilt cause me to know, the path of life, - Fulness of joys before thee, Pleasures at thy right hand evermore.

As for our own goings, now, have they surrounded us, - Their eyes, they fix, bending to the earth:

There is no speech, and there are no words, - Unheard is their voice!

Now, do I know that Yahweh, hath saved, his Anointed One, - He answereth him out of his holy heavens, by the mighty saving deeds of his own right hand.

My God! I keep crying - By day, and thou dost not answer, and, By night, and there is no rest for me.

But, I, am a worm and no one, a reproach of men, and despised of a people;

Yea, though I walk through a valley death-shadowed, I will fear no harm, for, thou, art with me, Thy rod and thy staff, they, comfort me.

Thy ways, O Yahweh, let me know, Thy paths, teach thou me:

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

Now, therefore, shall my head be raised high above my foes round about me, and I will sacrifice in his tent the sacrifices of triumphant joy, I will sing and touch the strings, to Yahweh.

The voice of Yahweh, is breaking cedars, Now hath Yahweh, broken down, the cedars of Lebanon!

How happy the son of earth, to whom Yahweh will not reckon iniquity! and in whose spirit is no guile!

Sing unto him, a song that is new, With skill, sweep the strings, with loud noise.

Revere Yahweh, ye his holy ones, For there is no want to them who revere him.

There shall reach him a ruin he could not know, - Yea, his own net which he hath hidden, shall capture him, Into that ruin, shall he fall!

There rise up witnesses helping forward violence and wrong, What I know not, they demand of me:

But, in mine overthrow, have they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together, - There gathered themselves together against me foolish men, and I knew it not, They have torn in pieces, and not been silent;

For, no salvation, will they utter, - But, against the quiet of the land, deceitful things, do they devise;

Declareth the transgression of the lawless one, within my heart, There is, no dread of God, before his eyes;

Prolong thy lovingkindness unto them who know thee, - and thy righteousness, to the upright in heart.

There is no soundness in my flesh, By reason of thine indignation, There is no peace in my bones, By reason of my sin;

For, my loins, are filled with inflammation, and there is no soundness in my flesh:

Thus have I become as a man who cannot hear, in whose mouth are no arguments:

Let me know, O Yahweh, mine end, And the measure of my days - what it is, I would know how short-lived I am.

Now, therefore, for what have I waited, O My Lord? My hope, is, in thee.

Look away from me that I may brighten up, Ere yet I depart and am no more.

Then put he, into my mouth, a new song, Praise to our God, - Many shall see and revere, And shall trust in Yahweh.

Mighty things, hast thou done - Thou, Yahweh my God, Thy wonderful doings and thy purposes to-wards us, There is no setting them in order unto thee - I would tell, and would speak! - They are too great to rehearse.

An infliction of the Abandoned One hath been fixed upon him, and, now that he hath lien down, he will not again rise.

Hereby, do I know that thou delightest in me, In that mine enemy shall not raise a shout over me.

But nay thou hast rejected, and confounded us, And wilt not go forth with our hosts;

Thou dost sell thy people for, no-value, And hast not made increase by their price.

Let be! and know that, I, am God, I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.

Now have the heavens declared his righteousness, Because, God, is, about to judge. Selah.

I know every bird of the mountains, And, the moving things of the plain, are with me:

Lo! faithfulness, hast thou desired in the inward parts, Yea, in the hidden part, wilt thou cause me to know, wisdom.

The impious hath said in his heart, There is no God! They have acted corruptly, They have wrought abominable perversity, There is none that doeth good: -

There have they been in great dread where no dread was, Because, God, hath scattered the bones of thy besieger, - Thou hast put him to shame, Because, God, had, rejected, them.

GOD will hear, Yea He will humble them who aforetime sat enthroned . Selah.With whom are no changings, Neither have they revered God.

Then, shall my foes turn back, in the day I cry, This, I know, for God is mine!

For no iniquity, do they run that they may take their stand, Rouse thyself to meet me, and see.

Bring to a full end in wrath, Bring to a full end, that they be no more, - That men may know that, God, is ruling in Jacob, Unto the ends of the earth. Selah.

I have sunk in deep swamp, Where there is no place to stand, I have come into abysses of waters, Where a flood hath overflowed me;

My month, shall relate thy righteousness, All the day, thy deliverance, For I know not the numbers.

Even now, therefore, that I am old and grayheaded, O God, do not forsake me, - Until I tell of thine arm unto a new generation, Unto every one that is to come, thy might;

May righteousness, in his days, blossom forth, And abundance of peace, till there be no moon.

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

For they have no pangs in their death, And vigorous is their body;

And they say - How doth GOD know? And is there knowledge in the Most High?

But, now, the doors thereof all together, with axes and hammers, they batter down.

Our own signs, have we not seen, - There is no longer a prophet, - Neither is there with us, one who knoweth - How long!

Now hath come into Salem, his pavilion, And his dwelling-place into Zion.

Which we have heard, and come to know, And, our fathers, have recounted to us;

To the end, A later generation, might come m know, Children who should be born, Who should arise, and recount them to their children;

Blow, at the new moon, the horn, At the full moon, for the day of our sacred festival:

They know not, neither can they perceive, In darkness, they wander, All the foundations of the earth do shake.

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

That men may know that, thou, Whose Name alone is Yahweh, Art Most High over all the earth.

I will mention Rahab and Babylon, to them who know me - Lo! Philistia and Tyre with Ethiopia, This one was born there.

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;

How happy are the people who know the joyful sound! O Yahweh! in the light of thy countenance, shall they firmly march along;

No foe shall make exactions on him, Nor shall, a son of perversity, humiliate him;

How to number our days, so grant us to know, That we may win us a heart that hath wisdom.

There shall fall, at thy side, a thousand, Yea, myriads, at thy right hand, Unto thee, shall it not come nigh;

A man that is brutish, cannot know, And, dullard, cannot discern this: -

To declare that upright is Yahweh, My Rock, and no perversity in him.

Sing to Yahweh, a song that is new, Sing to Yahweh, all the earth;

Sing to Yahweh, a song that is new, For, wonderful things, hath he done, His own right hand and hi holy arm, have brought him salvation.

Know that, Yahweh, he, is God, - He, made us, and not, we ourselves, His people, and the flock of his pasture.

But, thou, art, the same, - And, thy years, shall have no end:

For, a wind, hath passed ever it, and it is gone, And its own place is acquainted with it no more.

Sinners shall be consumed out of the earth And, the lawless, no more, shall exist, - Bless, O my soul, Yahweh, Praise ye Yah!

He suffered no son of earth to oppress them, And reproved - for their sakes - even kings!

And he bowed down, with labour, their heart, They staggered, with no one to help,

Let him have no one to continue lovingkindness, and there be none to favour his fatherless children;

That they may know that, Thine own hand, this is, Thou, Yahweh, hast done it.

Their hands! but they feel not Their feet! but they walk not, No sound make they in their throat.

Ah now, Yahweh, do save, we beseech thee, Ah now, Yahweh, do send success, we beseech thee!

Before I was afflicted, I myself was going astray, but, now, thy word, have I kept.

I know, O Yahweh, that righteous are thy regulations, and, in faithfulness, didst thou afflict me.

Let them who revere thee, turn unto me, even they who know thy testimonies.

Thy servant, I am - give me understanding, so shall I get to know thy testimonies.

My steps, direct thou by thy word, and let no iniquity, have dominion over me.

Wherewith no reaper, hath filled his hand, nor binder, his bosom:

For, I, know that great is Yahweh, yea, our Lord, is beyond all gods.

Ears, have they, but they hear not, Nose, - there is no breath in their mouth.

I know that Yahweh will execute, the right of the oppressed one, the vindication of the needy.
