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.

Station themselves do kings of the earth, And princes have been united together, Against Jehovah, and against His Messiah:

Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.

Thou hast given joy in my heart, From the time their corn and their wine Have been multiplied.

Favour me, O Jehovah, for I am weak, Heal me, O Jehovah, For troubled have been my bones,

And my soul hath been troubled greatly, And Thou, O Jehovah, till when?

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

O Yahweh my God, If I have done this, If there hath been perversity in my hands:

Behold, he labors in pain with iniquity, and he has conceived mischief, and has brought forth falsehood.

O thou Enemy, Finished have been destructions for ever, As to cities thou hast plucked up, Perished hath their memorial with them.

Sunk have nations in a pit they made, In a net that they hid hath their foot been captured.

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

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

Thou hast seen it ; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: The helpless committeth himself unto thee; Thou hast been the helper of the fatherless.

But I have trusted and relied on and been confident in Your lovingkindness and faithfulness;
My heart shall rejoice and delight in Your salvation.

I will sing to Yahweh, because he has been good to me. For the Chief Musician. By David.

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

There have they been in great dread, because, God, is in the circle of the righteous man.

It is as if I have been given fertile fields or received a beautiful tract of land.

I will give praise to the Lord who has been my guide; knowledge comes to me from my thoughts in the night.

Therefore hath my heart been glad, And my honour doth rejoice, Also my flesh dwelleth confidently:

Thou hast held fast my goings on to thy ways, My footsteps have not been shaken:

Now they surround us at our [every] step. They {intend} {to pin} [me] to the ground.

Cords of Sheol have surrounded me, Before me have been snares of death.

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

He delivereth me from my strong enemy, And from those hating me, For they have been stronger than I.

For I have kept the ways of the Lord; I have not been turned away in sin from my God.

As for GOD, blameless is his way, The speech of Yahweh hath been proved, A shield, he is to all who seek refuge in him.

You have given me the breastplate of your salvation: your right hand has been my support, and your mercy has made me great.

For I have been armed by you with strength for the fight: you have made low under me those who come out against me.

There is no speech, and there are no words. Their voice hath not been heard.

The fear of Jehovah is clean, standing to the age, The judgments of Jehovah are true, They have been righteous -- together.

They are bent down and made low; but we have been lifted up.

On Thee I have been cast from the womb, From the belly of my mother Thou art my God.

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.

Yes, wild dogs surround me -- a gang of evil men crowd around me; like a lion they pin my hands and feet.

For he has not been unmoved by the pain of him who is troubled; or kept his face covered from him; but he has given an answer to his cry.

Lead me forth in thy truth, and learn me. For thou art the God of my salvation; in thee hath been my hope all the day long.

Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.

Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.

See my enemies, for they have been many, And with violent hatred they have hated me.

Let perfectness and righteous dealing wait upon me, for my hope hath been in thee.

O Lord, be my judge, for my behaviour has been upright: I have put my faith in the Lord, I am not in danger of slipping.

For, thy lovingkindness, hath been before mine eyes, and I have walked to and fro in thy faithfulness;

I have been a hater of the band of wrongdoers, and I will not be seated among sinners.

Lord, your house has been dear to me, and the resting-place of your glory.

Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

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.

Jehovah is my strength, and my shield, In Him my heart trusted, and I have been helped. And my heart exulteth, And with my song I thank Him.

I will give you praise and honour, O Lord, because through you I have been lifted up; you have not given my haters cause to be glad over me.

O Jehovah, in Thy good pleasure, Thou hast caused strength to remain for my mountain,' Thou hast hidden Thy face -- I have been troubled.

I have hated the observers of lying vanities, And I toward Jehovah have been confident.

I will be happy and rejoice in your faithfulness, because you notice my pain and you are aware of how distressed I am.

Be gracious to me, LORD, for I am in distress. My eyes have been consumed by my grief along with my soul and my body.

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.

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.

I have been forgotten as dead out of mind, I have been as a perishing vessel.

But my hope hath been in thee, O LORD; I have said, "Thou art my God."

And I -- I have said in my haste, 'I have been cut off from before Thine eyes,' But Thou hast heard the voice of my supplications, In my crying unto Thee.

When I refused to confess my sin, my whole body wasted away, while I groaned in pain all day long.

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

An evil person suffers much pain, but the Lord's faithfulness overwhelms the one who trusts in him.

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

For in Him our heart rejoices,
Because we trust [lean on, rely on, and are confident] in His holy name.

Young lions have lacked and been hungry, And those seeking Jehovah lack not any good,

The LORD is close to the brokenhearted, and he delivers those whose spirit has been crushed.

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

I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.

And -- in my halting they have rejoiced, And have been gathered together, Gathered against me were the smiters, And I have not known, They have rent, and they have not ceased;

There have workers of iniquity fallen, They have been overthrown, And have not been able to arise!

But the wicked perish, and the enemies of Jehovah, As the preciousness of lambs, Have been consumed, In smoke they have been consumed.

From Jehovah are the steps of a man, They have been prepared, And his way he desireth.

I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

For Jehovah is loving judgment, And He doth not forsake His saintly ones, To the age they have been kept, And the seed of the wicked is cut off.

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

For my flanks have been full of drought, And soundness is not in my flesh.

I have been feeble and smitten -- unto excess, I have roared from disquietude of heart.

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

For I am ready to halt, and my pain is continually before me.

For I being prepared for halting, and my pain always before me.

And mine enemies are lively, They have been strong, and those hating me without cause, Have been multiplied.

I was dumb with silence, I kept silent from good, and my pain is excited.

I have been dumb, I open not my mouth, Because Thou -- Thou hast done it.

Turn aside from off me Thy stroke, From the striving of Thy hand I have been consumed.

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.

Your righteousness has not been folded away in my heart; I have made clear your true word and your salvation; I have not kept secret your mercy or your faith from the great meeting.

For compassed me have evils innumerable, Overtaken me have mine iniquities, And I have not been able to see; They have been more than the hairs of my head, And my heart hath forsaken me.

The Lord will be his support on his bed of pain: by you will all his grief be turned to strength.

“Lethal poison has been poured into him,
and he won’t rise again from where he lies!”

My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?

My enemies' taunts cut into me to the bone, as they say to me all day long, "Where is your God?"

But it is you who have been our saviour from those who were against us, and have put to shame those who had hate for us.

All this has come upon us, yet we have not forgotten You,
Nor have we been false to Your covenant [which You made with our fathers].

Our hearts have not gone back, and our steps have not been turned out of your way;

If the name of our God has gone out of our minds, or if our hands have been stretched out to a strange god,

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

{To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of Korah, Maschil, A Song of loves.} My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

Thou hast been beautified above the sons of men, Grace hath been poured into thy lips, Therefore hath God blessed thee to the age.

You have been a lover of righteousness and a hater of evil: and so God, your God, has put the oil of joy on your head, lifting you high over all other kings.

Troubled have been nations, Moved have been kingdoms, He hath given forth with His voice, earth melteth.
