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.

O Jehovah, lead me in Thy righteousness, Because of those observing me, Make straight before me Thy way,

Declare them guilty, O God, Let them fall from their own counsels, In the abundance of their transgressions Drive them away, Because they have rebelled against Thee.

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

From the mouths of infants and sucklings Thou hast founded strength, Because of Thine adversaries, To still an enemy and a self-avenger.

Because the wicked hath boasted Of the desire of his soul, And a dishonest gainer he hath blessed, He hath despised Jehovah.

The counsel of the poor ye cause to stink, Because Jehovah is his refuge.

I did place Jehovah before me continually, Because -- at my right hand I am not moved.

And shake and tremble doth the earth, And foundations of hills are troubled, And they shake -- because He hath wrath.

And He bringeth me forth to a large place, He draweth me out, because He delighted in me.

For my life hath been consumed in sorrow And my years in sighing. Feeble because of mine iniquity hath been my strength, And my bones have become old.

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.

And Jehovah doth help them and deliver them, He delivereth them from the wicked, And saveth them, Because they trusted in Him!

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

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.

Because of the voice of a reproacher and reviler, Because of an enemy and a self-avenger.

As to Thy majesty -- prosper! -- ride! Because of truth, and meekness -- righteousness, And Thy right hand showeth Thee fearful things.

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

I thank Thee to the age, because Thou hast done it, And I wait on Thy name for it is good before Thy saints!

Because of the voice of an enemy, Because of the oppression of the wicked, For they cause sorrow to move against me, And in anger they hate me.

God doth hear and afflict them, And He sitteth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, and fear not God,

Thou hast given to those fearing thee an ensign. To be lifted up as an ensign Because of truth. Selah.

For Thou hast been a refuge for me, A tower of strength because of the enemy.

Because better is Thy kindness than life, My lips do praise Thee.

Because of Thy temple at Jerusalem, To Thee do kings bring a present.

Let not those waiting on Thee be ashamed because of me, O Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, Let not those seeking Thee Blush because of me, O God of Israel.

For because of Thee I have borne reproach, Shame hath covered my face.

Be near unto my soul -- redeem it, Because of mine enemies ransom me.

Let them turn back because of their shame, Who are saying, 'Aha, aha.'

And Thy righteousness, O God, is unto the heights, Because Thou hast done great things, O God, who is like Thee?

Because Thou hast showed me many and sad distresses, Thou turnest back -- Thou revivest me, And from the depths of the earth, Thou turnest back -- Thou bringest me up.

My tongue also all the day uttereth Thy righteousness, Because ashamed -- because confounded, Have been those seeking my evil!

Help us, O God of our salvation, Because of the honour of Thy name, And deliver us, and cover over our sins, For Thy name's sake.

Mine eye hath grieved because of affliction, I called Thee, O Jehovah, all the day, I have spread out unto Thee my hands.

Because in Me he hath delighted, I also deliver him -- I set him on high, Because he hath known My name.

Zion hath heard and rejoiceth, And daughters of Judah are joyful, Because of Thy judgments, O Jehovah.

Because ashes as bread I have eaten, And my drink with weeping have mingled,

Because they changed the saying of God, And the counsel of the Most High despised.

And they rejoice because they are quiet, And He leadeth them to the haven of their desire.

Because that he hath not remembered to do kindness, And pursueth the poor man and needy, And the smitten of heart -- to slay,

And Thou, O Jehovah Lord, Deal with me for Thy name's sake, Because Thy kindness is good, deliver me.

I have loved, because Jehovah heareth My voice, my supplication,

Because He hath inclined His ear to me, And during my days I call.

Free me, and deliver me From the hand of sons of a stranger, Because their mouth hath spoken vanity, And their right hand is a right hand of falsehood,

Because our sons are as plants, Becoming great in their youth, Our daughters as hewn stones, Polished -- the likeness of a palace,
