Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers,

but his delight is in the law of LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither. And whatever he does shall prosper.

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

Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

Why do the nations rage, and the peoples meditate vain {things (LXX/NT)}?

I will not be afraid of ten thousands of the people who have set themselves against me round about.

Stand in awe, and sin not. Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

For thou are not a God who has pleasure in wickedness. Evil shall not sojourn with thee.

The arrogant shall not stand in thy sight. Thou hate all workers of iniquity.

For there is no faithfulness in their mouth. Their inward part is very wickedness. Their throat is an open sepulcher. With their tongue they {deceive (LXX/NT)}.

O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, nor chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

I am weary with my groaning. Every night I make my bed to swim. I water my couch with my tears.

If a man does not repent, he will whet his sword. He has bent his bow, and made it ready.

Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou have {perfected praise (LXX/NT)}, because of thine adversaries, that thou might still the enemy and the avenger.

And those who know thy name will put their trust in thee, for thou, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek thee.

For he who makes inquiry for blood remembers them. He does not forget the cry of the poor.

The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.

For a needy man shall not always be forgotten, nor the expectation of the poor perish forever.

Arise, O LORD, let not man prevail. Let the nations be judged in thy sight.

The wicked man, in the pride of his countenance, [says], He will not require [it]. All his thoughts are, There is no God.

He says in his heart, I shall not be moved. To all generations I shall not be in adversity.

He lurks in secret as a lion in his covert. He lays in wait to catch the poor man. He catches the poor man when he draws him in his net.

Arise, O LORD, O God, lift up thy hand. Do not forget the poor.

Why does the wicked man despise God, and say in his heart, Thou will not require [it]?

Break thou the arm of the sinner and the evil man. His wickedness shall be sought, and shall not be found.

They are all gone aside. They are together become filthy. There is none who does good, no, not one.

Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people [as] they eat bread, and call not upon LORD?

in whose eyes a reprobate is despised, but who honors those who fear LORD, he that swears to his own hurt, and changes not,

he who puts not his money out to interest, nor takes a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved.

Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts for another [god]. Their drink-offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names upon my lips.

I will bless LORD, who has given me counsel. Yea, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.

I {beheld (LXX/NT)} LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices. My flesh also shall dwell in {hope (LXX/NT)}.

For thou will not leave my soul to Sheol, nor will thou allow thy holy man to see corruption.

Thou {made known to (LXX/NT)} me the path of life. {Thou will fill me of joy with thy countenance (LXX/NT)}.

Hear the right, O LORD, attend to my cry. Give ear to my prayer, that goes not out of feigned lips.

Thou have proved my heart. Thou have visited me in the night. Thou have tried me, and find nothing. I have purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.

My steps have held fast to thy paths. My feet have not slipped.

For I have kept the ways of LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

For all his ordinances were before me, and I put not away his statutes from me.

Thou have enlarged my steps under me, and my feet have not slipped.

I will smite them through, so that they shall not be able to rise. They shall fall under my feet.

They cried, but there was none to save, even to LORD, but he answered them not.

Thou have delivered me from the strivings of the people. Thou have made me the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known shall serve me.

Day to day utters speech, and night to night shows knowledge.

There is no speech nor language {in which (LXX)} their voice is not heard.

Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous [sins]. Let them not have dominion over me. Then I shall be upright, and I shall be clear from great transgression.

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

For the king trusts in LORD. And through the loving kindness of the Most High he shall not be moved.

For they intended evil against thee. They conceived a device which they are not able to perform.

O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou answer not, and in the night season, and I am not silent.

They cried to thee, and were delivered. They trusted in thee, and were not put to shame.

Be not far from me, for trouble is near, for there is none to help.

But be thou not far off, O LORD. O thou my succor, hasten thee to help me.

For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, neither has he hid his face from him, but when he cried to him, he heard.

LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want.

He who has clean hands, and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, and has not sworn deceitfully.

O my God, in thee I have trusted. Let me not be put to shame. Let not my enemies triumph over me.

Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions. According to thy loving kindness remember thou me, for thy goodness' sake, O LORD.

My eyes are ever toward LORD, for he will pluck my feet out of the net.

O keep my soul, and deliver me. Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in thee.

I have not sat with men of falsehood, nor will I go in with dissemblers.

I hate the assembly of evil-doers, and will not sit with the wicked.

Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with men of blood,

Though an army should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear. Though war should rise against me, even then I will be confident.

Hide not thy face from me. Put not thy servant away in anger. Thou have been my help. Cast me not off, nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.

Deliver me not over to the will of my adversaries. For FALSE witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

To thee, O LORD, I will call. My rock, be not thou deaf to me, lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like those who go down into the pit.

Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace with their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.

because they regard not the works of LORD, nor the operation of his hands. He will break them down and not build them up.

I will extol thee, O LORD, for thou have raised me up, and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.

O LORD, thou have brought up my soul from Sheol. Thou have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

For his anger is but for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy [is] in the morning.

to the end that [my] glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to thee forever.

Pluck me out of the net that they have laid secretly for me, for thou are my stronghold.

and thou have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy. Thou have set my feet in a large place.

Let me not be put to shame, O LORD, for I have called upon thee. Let the wicked be put to shame. Let them be silent in Sheol.

Blessed {are those (LXX/NT)} whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

Blessed is the man to whom LORD does not impute sin, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.

For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me. My moisture was changed [as] with the drought of summer. Selah.

I acknowledged my sin to thee, and I did not hide my iniquity. I said, I will confess my transgressions to LORD, and thou forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

For this let everyone who is devout pray to thee in a time when thou may be found. Surely when the great waters overflow they shall not reach to him.

Become ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding, whose trappings must be bit and bridle to hold them in, [else] they will not come near to thee.

There is no king saved by the multitude of an army. A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.

The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger, but those who seek LORD shall not want any good thing.

The eyes of LORD are toward the righteous, and his ears are [open] to their {prayer (LXX/NT)}.

He keeps all his bones. Not one of them is broken.

For without cause they have hid their net for me [in] a pit. Without cause have they dug [a pit] for my soul.

Let destruction come upon him unawares, and let his net that he has hid catch himself. Let him fall in it with destruction.

Unrighteous witnesses rise up, they ask me of things that I know not.

But in my adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together. The wretches gathered themselves together against me, and I knew [it] not. They tore me, and ceased not.

Let not those who are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me. Neither let them wink with the eye who hate me without a cause.

For they speak not peace, but they devise deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land.

Thou have seen it, O LORD. Keep not silence. O LORD, be not far from me.

Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness, and let them not rejoice over me.

Let them not say in their heart, Aha, so would we have it. Let them not say, We have swallowed him up.

For he flatters himself in his own eyes, that his iniquity will not be found out and be hated.

He devises iniquity upon his bed. He sets himself in a way that is not good. He does not abhor evil.

Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of sinners drive me away.
