But -- in the law of Jehovah is his delight, And in His law he doth meditate by day and by night:

And he hath been as a tree, Planted by rivulets of water, That giveth its fruit in its season, And its leaf doth not wither, And all that he doth he causeth to prosper.

And now, O kings, act wisely, Be instructed, O judges of earth,

Kiss the Chosen One, lest He be angry, And ye lose the way, When His anger burneth but a little, O the happiness of all trusting in Him!

Tremble ye, and do not sin;' Say ye thus in your heart on your bed, And be ye silent. Selah.

Be attentive to the voice of my cry, My king and my God, For unto Thee I pray habitually.

And I, in the abundance of Thy kindness, I enter Thy house, I bow myself toward Thy holy temple in Thy fear.

'The Erring One,' by David, that he sung to Jehovah concerning the words of Cush a Benjamite. O Jehovah, my God, in Thee I have trusted, Save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me.

Rise, O Jehovah, in Thine anger, Be lifted up at the wrath of mine adversaries, And awake Thou for me: Judgment Thou hast commanded:

Let, I pray Thee be ended the evil of the wicked, And establish Thou the righteous, And a trier of hearts and reins is the righteous God.

If one turn not, His sword he sharpeneth, His bow he hath trodden -- He prepareth it,

Favour me, O Jehovah, See mine affliction by those hating me, Thou who liftest me up from the gates of death,

Jehovah hath been known, Judgment He hath done, By a work of his hands Hath the wicked been snared. Meditation. Selah.

Rise, O Jehovah, let not man be strong, Let nations be judged before Thy face.

He is bruised -- he boweth down, Fallen by his mighty ones hath the afflicted.

Thou hast seen, For Thou perverseness and anger beholdest; By giving into Thy hand, On Thee doth the afflicted leave it, Of the fatherless Thou hast been an helper.

To the Overseer. -- By David. In Jehovah I trusted, how say ye to my soul, 'They moved to Thy mountain for the bird?

For lo, the wicked tread a bow, They have prepared their arrow on the string, To shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.

Who said, 'By our tongue we do mightily: Our lips are our own; who is lord over us?'

Around the wicked walk continually, According as vileness is exalted by sons of men!

To the Overseer. -- By David. A fool hath said in his heart, 'God is not;' They have done corruptly, They have done abominable actions, There is not a doer of good.

He hath not slandered by his tongue, He hath not done to his friend evil; And reproach he hath not lifted up Against his neighbour.

Thou causest me to know the path of life; Fulness of joys is with Thy presence, Pleasant things by Thy right hand for ever!

Thou hast proved my heart, Thou hast inspected by night, Thou hast tried me, Thou findest nothing; My thoughts pass not over my mouth.

Separate wonderfully Thy kindness, O Saviour of the confiding, By Thy right hand, from withstanders.

To the Overseer. -- By a servant of Jehovah, by David, who hath spoken to Jehovah the words of this song in the day Jehovah delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul, and he saith: -- I love Thee, O Jehovah, my strength.

Gone up hath smoke by His nostrils, And fire from His mouth consumeth, Coals have been kindled by it.

For by Thee I run -- a troop! And by my God I leap a wall.

Teaching my hands for battle, And a bow of brass was brought down by my arms.

And Thou girdest me with strength for battle, Causest my withstanders to bow under me.

Also -- Thy servant is warned by them, 'In keeping them is a great reward.'

Let the sayings of my mouth, And the meditation of my heart, Be for a pleasing thing before Thee, O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer!

For Thou makest him blessings for ever, Thou dost cause him to rejoice with joy, By Thy countenance.

Be Thou exalted, O Jehovah in, Thy strength, We sing and we praise Thy might!

My God, I call by day, and Thou answerest not, And by night, and there is no silence to me.

Be not far from me, For adversity is near, for there is no helper.

And Thou, O Jehovah, be not far off, O my strength, to help me haste.

Deliver from the sword my soul, From the paw of a dog mine only one.

Ye who fear Jehovah, praise ye Him, All the seed of Jacob, honour ye Him, And be afraid of Him, all ye seed of Israel.

Remember and return unto Jehovah, Do all ends of the earth, And before Thee bow themselves, Do all families of the nations,

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.

In pastures of tender grass He causeth me to lie down, By quiet waters He doth lead me.

Lift up, O gates, your heads, And be lifted up, O doors age-during, And come in doth the king of glory!

Lift up, O gates, your heads, And be lifted up, O doors age-during, And come in doth the king of glory!

By David. Unto Thee, O Jehovah, my soul I lift up.

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

Also let none waiting on Thee be ashamed, Let the treacherous dealers without cause be ashamed.

Sins of my youth, and my transgressions, Do not Thou remember. According to Thy kindness be mindful of me, For Thy goodness' sake, O Jehovah.

Keep my soul, and deliver me, Let me not be ashamed, for I trusted in Thee.

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

By David. Jehovah is my light and my salvation, Whom do I fear? Jehovah is the strength of my life, Of whom am I afraid?

Look unto Jehovah -- be strong, And He doth strengthen thy heart, Yea, look unto Jehovah!

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.

Ascribe to Jehovah the honour of His name, Bow yourselves to Jehovah, In the beauty of holiness.

Hear, O Jehovah, and favour me, O Jehovah, be a helper to me.'

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.

Incline unto me Thine ear hastily, deliver me, Be to me for a strong rock, For a house of bulwarks to save me.

Favour me, O Jehovah, for distress is to me, Mine eye, my soul, and my body Have become old by provocation.

O Jehovah, let me not be ashamed, For I have called Thee, let the wicked be ashamed, Let them become silent to Sheol.

Be strong, and He strengtheneth your heart, All ye who are waiting for Jehovah!

By David. -- An Instruction. O the happiness of him whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered.

When by day and by night Thy hand is heavy upon me, My moisture hath been changed Into the droughts of summer. Selah.

Be ye not as a horse -- as a mule, Without understanding, With bridle and bit, its ornaments, to curb, Not to come near unto thee.

Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, ye righteous, And sing, all ye upright of heart!

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

The king is not saved by the multitude of a force. A mighty man is not delivered, By abundance of power.

A false thing is the horse for safety, And by the abundance of his strength He doth not deliver.

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

By David, in his changing his behaviour before Abimelech, and he driveth him away, and he goeth. I do bless Jehovah at all times, Continually His praise is in my mouth.

By David. Strive, Jehovah, with my strivers, fight with my fighters,

They pay me evil for good, bereaving my soul,

Thou hast seen, O Jehovah, Be not silent, O Lord -- be not far from me,

To the Overseer. -- By a servant of Jehovah, by David. The transgression of the wicked Is affirming within my heart, 'Fear of God is not before his eyes,

For he made it smooth to himself in his eyes, To find his iniquity to be hated.

By David. Do not fret because of evil doers, Be not envious against doers of iniquity,

Be silent for Jehovah, and stay thyself for Him, Do not fret because of him Who is making prosperous his way, Because of a man doing wicked devices.

A sword have the wicked opened, And they have trodden their bow, To cause to fall the poor and needy, To slaughter the upright of the way.

Do not forsake me, O Jehovah, My God, be not far from me,

Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, And to my cry give ear, Unto my tear be not silent, For a sojourner I am with Thee, A settler like all my fathers.

Much hast Thou done, Jehovah my God; Thy wonders and Thy thoughts toward us, There is none to arrange unto Thee, I declare and speak: They have been more than to be numbered.

Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me, O Jehovah, for my help make haste.

By this I have known, That Thou hast delighted in me, Because my enemy shouteth not over me.

To the Overseer. -- An Instruction. By sons of Korah. As a hart doth pant for streams of water, So my soul panteth toward Thee, O God.

In me doth my soul bow itself, Therefore I remember Thee from the land of Jordan, And of the Hermons, from the hill Mizar.

By day Jehovah commandeth His kindness, And by night a song is with me, A prayer to the God of my life.

To the Overseer. -- By sons of Korah. An Instruction. O God, with our ears we have heard, Our fathers have recounted to us, The work Thou didst work in their days, In the days of old.

For, not by their sword Possessed they the land, And their arm gave not salvation to them, But Thy right hand, and Thine arm, And the light of Thy countenance, Because Thou hadst accepted them.

By Thee our adversaries we do push, By Thy name tread down our withstanders,

For, not in my bow do I trust, And my sword doth not save me.

Thou sellest Thy people -- without wealth, And hast not become great by their price.

To the Overseer. -- 'On the Lilies.' -- By sons of Korah. -- An Instruction. -- A song of loves. My heart hath indited a good thing, I am telling my works to a king, My tongue is the pen of a speedy writer.

And the king doth desire thy beauty, Because he is thy lord -- bow thyself to him,

To the Overseer. -- By sons of Korah. 'For the Virgins.' -- A song. God is to us a refuge and strength, A help in adversities found most surely.

Causing wars to cease, Unto the end of the earth, the bow he shivereth, And the spear He hath cut asunder, Chariots he doth burn with fire.

To the Overseer. -- By sons of Korah. A Psalm. All ye peoples, clap the hand, Shout to God with a voice of singing,

A Song, a Psalm, by sons of Korah. Great is Jehovah, and praised greatly, In the city of our God -- His holy hill.

For, lo, the kings met, they passed by together,

By an east wind Thou shiverest ships of Tarshish.

To the Overseer. -- By sons of Korah. A Psalm. Hear this, all ye peoples, Give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world.

To the Overseer. -- An instruction, by David, in the coming in of Doeg the Edomite, and he declareth to Saul, and saith to him, 'David came in unto the house of Ahimelech.' What, boasteth thou in evil, O mighty one? The kindness of God is all the day.
