And he will be like a tree firmly planted [and fed] by streams of water,
Which yields its fruit in its season;
Its leaf does not wither;
And in whatever he does, he prospers [and comes to maturity].

But let all who take refuge and put their trust in You rejoice,
Let them ever sing for joy;
Because You cover and shelter them,
Let those who love Your name be joyful and exult in You.

My soul [as well as my body] is greatly dismayed.
But as for You, O Lord—how long [until You act on my behalf]?

He has also prepared [other] deadly weapons for Himself;
He makes His arrows fiery shafts [aimed at the unrepentant].

The Lord also will be a refuge and a stronghold for the oppressed,
A refuge in times of trouble;

Then the earth shook and quaked,
The foundations of the mountains trembled;
They were shaken because He was indignant and angry.

He bowed the heavens also and came down;
And thick darkness was under His feet.

The Lord also thundered in the heavens,
And the Most High uttered His voice,
Hailstones and coals of fire.

He brought me out into a broad place;
He rescued me because He was pleased with me and delighted in me.

You have also given me the shield of Your salvation,
And Your right hand upholds and sustains me;
Your gentleness [Your gracious response when I pray] makes me great.

You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me [in defeat],
And I silenced and destroyed those who hated me.

They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb.

Also keep back Your servant from presumptuous (deliberate, willful) sins;
Let them not rule and have control over me.
Then I will be blameless (complete),
And I shall be acquitted of great transgression.

He makes Lebanon skip like a calf,
And Sirion (Mount Hermon) like a young, wild ox.

Be gracious and compassionate to me, O Lord, for I am in trouble;
My eye is clouded and weakened by grief, my soul and my body also.

Draw also the spear and javelin to meet those who pursue me.
Say to my soul, “I am your salvation.”

Delight yourself in the Lord,
And He will give you the desires and petitions of your heart.

Commit your way to the Lord;
Trust in Him also and He will do it.

My heart throbs violently, my strength fails me;
And as for the light of my eyes, even that has also gone from me.

Those who seek my life lay snares for me,
And those who seek to injure me threaten mischievous things and destruction;
They devise treachery all the day long.

They repay evil for good, they attack and try to kill me,
Because I follow what is good.

Hear, O daughter, consider and incline your ear [to my instruction]:
Forget your people and your father’s house;

The righteous will see it and fear,
And will [scoffingly] laugh, saying,

“Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine;
Ephraim is My helmet;
Judah is My scepter.

Also to You, O Lord, belong lovingkindness and compassion,
For You compensate every man according to [the value of] his work.

The meadows are clothed with flocks
And the valleys are covered with grain;
They shout for joy and they sing.

Let God arise, and His enemies be scattered;
Let those who hate Him flee before Him.

The earth trembled;
The heavens also poured down rain at the presence of God;
Sinai itself trembled at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

The chariots of God are myriads, thousands upon thousands;
The Lord is among them as He was at Sinai, in holiness.

You have ascended on high, You have led away captive Your captives;
You have received gifts among men,
Even from the rebellious also, that the Lord God may dwell there.

They (self-righteous hypocrites) also gave me gall [poisonous and bitter] for my food,
And for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

Your righteousness, O God, reaches to the [height of the] heavens,
You who have done great things;
O God, who is like You, [who is Your equal]?

I will also praise You with the harp,
Your truth and faithfulness, O my God;
To You I will sing praises with the lyre,
O Holy One of Israel.

My tongue also will speak of Your righteousness all day long;
For they are ashamed, for they are humiliated who seek my injury.

May he also rule from sea to sea
And from the River [Euphrates] to the ends of the earth.

For he will rescue the needy when he cries for help,
The afflicted and abused also, and him who has no helper.

So may he live, and may the gold of Sheba be given to him;
And let them pray for him continually;
Let them bless and praise him all day long.

The day is Yours, the night also is Yours;
You have established and prepared the [heavenly] light and the sun.

All the horns of the wicked He will cut off,
But the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.

His tabernacle is in Salem (Jerusalem);
His dwelling place is in Zion.

I will meditate on all Your works
And thoughtfully consider all Your [great and wondrous] deeds.

The waters [of the Red Sea] saw You, O God;
The waters saw You, they were in anguish;
The deeps also trembled.

In the daytime He led them with a cloud
And all the night with a light of fire.

He brought streams also from the rock [at Rephidim and Kadesh]
And caused waters to run down like rivers.

“Behold, He struck the rock so that waters gushed out
And the streams overflowed;
Can He give bread also?
Or will He provide meat for His people?”

He rained meat upon them like the dust,
And winged birds (quail) like the sand of the seas.

He also gave their crops to the grasshopper,
And the fruit of their labor to the locust.

He gave over their cattle also to the hailstones,
And their flocks and herds to thunderbolts.

He also drove out the nations before the sons of Israel
And allotted their land as an inheritance, measured out and partitioned;
And He had the tribes of Israel dwell in their tents [the tents of those who had been dispossessed].

He also handed His people over to the sword,
And was infuriated with His inheritance (Israel).

His priests [Hophni and Phinehas] fell by the sword,
And His widows could not weep.

“But I would feed Israel with the finest of the wheat;
And with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”

Assyria also has joined with them;
They have helped the children of Lot [the Ammonites and the Moabites] and have been an arm [of strength] to them. Selah.

Passing through the Valley of Weeping (Baca), they make it a place of springs;
The early rain also covers it with blessings.

The heavens (angels) praise Your wonders, O Lord,
Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.

The heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours;
The world and all that is in it, You have founded and established them.

With whom My hand shall be established and steadfast;
My arm also shall strengthen him.

“I will also set his hand on the [Mediterranean] sea,
And his right hand on the rivers [the tributaries of the Euphrates].

“I will also make him My firstborn (preeminent),
The highest of the kings of the earth.

“His descendants I will establish forever,
And his throne [will endure] as the days of heaven.

The Lord reigns, He is clothed with majesty and splendor;
The Lord has clothed and encircled Himself with strength;
the world is firmly established, it cannot be moved.

In whose hand are the depths of the earth;
The peaks of the mountains are His also.

Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns;
Indeed, the world is firmly and securely established, it shall not be moved;
He will judge and rule the people with fairness.”

Israel also came into Egypt;
Thus Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

He struck their vines also and their fig trees,
And shattered the [ice-laden] trees of their territory.

He also struck down all the firstborn in their land,
The first fruits and chief substance of all their strength.

He brought the sons of Israel out [of Egypt] with silver and gold,
And among their tribes there was not one who stumbled.

Remember me, O Lord, when You favor Your people.
Visit me with Your salvation [when You rescue them],

We have sinned like our fathers;
We have committed iniquity, we have behaved wickedly.

He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up;
And He led them through the depths as through a pasture.

They envied Moses in the camp,
And Aaron [the high priest], the holy one of the Lord,

They joined themselves also to [the idol] Baal of Peor,
And ate sacrifices offered to the dead.

They provoked Him to anger at the waters of Meribah,
So that it went hard with Moses on their account;

Their enemies also oppressed them,
And they were subdued under the [powerful] hand of their enemies.

He also made them objects of compassion
Among those who had carried them away captive.

Let them exalt Him also in the congregation of the people,
And praise Him at the seat of the elders.

Also He blesses them so that they multiply greatly,
And He does not let [the number of] their cattle decrease.

“Gilead is Mine, Manasseh is Mine;
Ephraim also is the helmet of My head [My stronghold, My defense];
Judah is My scepter.

They have also surrounded me with words of hatred,
And have fought against me without a cause.

He clothed himself with cursing as with his garment,
And it seeped into his inner self like water
And like [anointing] oil into his bones.

I also have become a reproach and an object of taunting to others;
When they see me, they shake their heads [in derision].

Even though princes sit and talk to one another against me,
Your servant meditates on Your statutes.

Your testimonies also are my delight
And my counselors.

Vav.
May Your lovingkindness also come to me, O Lord,
Your salvation according to Your promise;

I will also speak of Your testimonies before kings
And shall not be ashamed.

And I shall lift up my hands to Your commandments,
Which I love;
And I will meditate on Your statutes.

“If your children will keep My covenant
And My testimony which I will teach them,
Their children also shall sit upon your throne forever.”

“Her priests also I will clothe with salvation,
And her godly ones will shout aloud for joy.

How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!

He will fulfill the desire of those who fear and worship Him [with awe-inspired reverence and obedience];
He also will hear their cry and will save them.

He has also established them forever and ever;
He has made a decree which shall not pass away.
