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.

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!

Rise, O Jehovah! save me, my God. Because Thou hast smitten All mine enemies on the cheek. The teeth of the wicked Thou hast broken.

The boastful station not themselves before Thine eyes: Thou hast hated all working iniquity.

And rejoice do all trusting in Thee, To the age they sing, and Thou coverest them over, And those loving Thy name exult in Thee.

I have been weary with my sighing, I meditate through all the night on my bed, With my tear my couch I waste.

Old from provocation is mine eye, It is old because of all mine adversaries,

Turn from me all ye workers of iniquity, For Jehovah heard the voice of my weeping,

Ashamed and troubled greatly are all mine enemies, They turn back -- ashamed in a moment!

'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.

If I have done my well-wisher evil, And draw mine adversary without cause,

God is a righteous judge, And He is not angry at all times.

To the Overseer, 'On the Gittith.' A Psalm of David. Jehovah, our Lord, How honourable Thy name in all the earth! Who settest thine honour on the heavens.

Thou dost cause him to rule Over the works of Thy hands, All Thou hast placed under his feet.

Sheep and oxen, all of them, And also beasts of the field,

Jehovah, our Lord, How honourable Thy name in all the earth!

To the Overseer, 'On the Death of Labben.' -- A Psalm of David. I confess, O Jehovah, with all my heart, I recount all Thy wonders,

So that I recount all Thy praise, In the gates of the daughter of Zion. I rejoice on Thy salvation.

The wicked do turn back to Sheol, All nations forgetting God.

The wicked according to the height of his face, inquireth not. 'God is not!' are all his devices.

Pain do his ways at all times, On high are Thy judgments before him, All his adversaries -- he puffeth at them.

Jehovah doth cut off all lips of flattery, A tongue speaking great things,

The whole have turned aside, Together they have been filthy: There is not a doer of good, not even one.

Have all working iniquity not known? Those consuming my people have eaten bread, Jehovah they have not called.

For the holy ones who are in the land, And the honourable, all my delight is in them.

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.

For all His judgments are before me, And His statutes I turn not from me.

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

God! perfect is His way, The saying of Jehovah is tried, A shield is He to all those trusting in Him.

Into all the earth hath their line gone forth, And to the end of the world their sayings, For the sun He placed a tent in them,

He doth remember all thy presents, And thy burnt-offering doth reduce to ashes. Selah.

He doth give to thee according to thy heart, And all thy counsel doth fulfil.

We sing of thy salvation, And in the name of our God set up a banner. Jehovah doth fulfil all thy requests.

Thy hand cometh to all Thine enemies, Thy right hand doth find Thy haters.

All beholding me do mock at me, They make free with the lip -- shake the head,

As waters I have been poured out, And separated themselves have all my bones, My heart hath been like wax, It is melted in the midst of my bowels.

I count all my bones -- they look expectingly, They look upon me,

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.

Thou arrangest before me a table, Over-against my adversaries, Thou hast anointed with oil my head, My cup is full!

Only -- goodness and kindness pursue me, All the days of my life, And my dwelling is in the house of Jehovah, For a length of days!

Cause me to tread in Thy truth, and teach me, For Thou art the God of my salvation, Near Thee I have waited all the day.

All the paths of Jehovah are kindness and truth, To those keeping His covenant, And His testimonies.

See mine affliction and my misery, And bear with all my sins.

Redeem Israel, O God, from all his distresses!

To sound with a voice of confession, And to recount all Thy wonders.

One thing I asked of Jehovah -- it I seek. My dwelling in the house of Jehovah, All the days of my life, To look on the pleasantness of Jehovah, And to inquire in His temple.

Give me not to the will of my adversaries, For risen against me have false witnesses, And they breathe out violence to me.

For -- a moment is in His anger, Life is in His good-will, At even remaineth weeping, and at morn singing.

Among all mine adversaries I have been a reproach, And to my neighbours exceedingly, And a fear to mine acquaintances, Those seeing me without -- fled from me.

Love Jehovah, all ye His saints, Jehovah is keeping the faithful, And recompensing abundantly a proud doer.

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

When I have kept silence, become old have my bones, Through my roaring all the day.

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

For upright is the word of Jehovah, And all His work is in faithfulness.

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

Afraid of Jehovah are all the earth, Of Him are all the inhabitants of the world afraid.

The counsel of Jehovah to the age standeth, The thoughts of His heart to all generations.

From the heavens hath Jehovah looked, He hath seen all the sons of men.

From the fixed place of His dwelling, He looked unto all inhabitants of the earth;

Who is forming their hearts together, Who is attending unto all their works.

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.

I sought Jehovah, and He answered me, And from all my fears did deliver me.

This poor one called, and Jehovah heard, And from all his distresses saved him.

They cried, and Jehovah heard, And from all their distresses delivered them.

Many are the evils of the righteous, Out of them all doth Jehovah deliver him.

He is keeping all his bones, One of them hath not been broken.

All my bones say, 'Jehovah, who is like Thee, Delivering the poor from the stronger than he, And the poor and needy from his plunderer.'

And my tongue uttereth Thy righteousness, All the day Thy praise!

All the day he is gracious and lending, And his seed is for a blessing.

I have been bent down, I have been bowed down -- unto excess, All the day I have gone mourning.

Lord, before Thee is all my desire, And my sighing from Thee hath not been hid.

And those seeking my soul lay a snare, And those seeking my evil Have spoken mischievous things, And they do deceits meditate all the day.

To the Overseer, to Jeduthun. -- A Psalm of David. I have said, 'I observe my ways, Against sinning with my tongue, I keep for my mouth a curb, while the wicked is before me.'

Lo, handbreadths Thou hast made my days, And mine age is as nothing before Thee, Only, all vanity is every man set up. Selah.

From all my transgressions deliver me, A reproach of the fool make me not.

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.

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

Jehovah doth preserve him and revive him, He is happy in the land, And Thou givest him not into the will of his enemies.

Jehovah supporteth on a couch of sickness, All his bed Thou hast turned in his weakness.

All hating me whisper together against me, Against me they devise evil to me:

My tear hath been to me bread day and night, In their saying unto me all the day, 'Where is thy God?'

Deep unto deep is calling At the noise of Thy water-spouts, All Thy breakers and Thy billows passed over me.

With a sword in my bones Have mine adversaries reproached me, In their saying unto me all the day, 'Where is thy God?'

In God we have boasted all the day, And Thy name to the age we thank. Selah.

All the day my confusion is before me, And the shame of my face hath covered me.

All this met us, and we did not forget Thee, Nor have we dealt falsely in Thy covenant.

Surely, for Thy sake we have been slain all the day, Reckoned as sheep of the slaughter.

Thou hast loved righteousness and hatest wickedness, Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee, Oil of joy above thy companions.

Myrrh and aloes, cassia! all thy garments, Out of palaces of ivory Stringed instruments have made thee glad.

All glory is the daughter of the king within, Of gold-embroidered work is her clothing.

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

I make mention of Thy name in all generations, Therefore do peoples praise Thee, To the age, and for ever!

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

For Jehovah Most High is fearful, A great king over all the earth.

For king of all the earth is God, Give praise, O understanding one.

Beautiful for elevation, A joy of all the land, is Mount Zion, The sides of the north, the city of a great king.

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

A brother doth no one at all ransom, He doth not give to God his atonement.
