When I cry, answer me, O mine own righteous God, In a strait place, thou hast made room for me, Show me favour, and hear my prayer.

For, thou, wilt bless the righteous man, O Yahweh, As with an all-covering shield - with good pleasure, wilt thou encompass him.

He abideth in the lurking-place of villages, In the hiding-places, he murdereth the innocent, - His eyes, for the unfortunate, are on the watch:

He lieth in wait in a hiding-place, like a lion in his covert, He lieth in wait to catch the humbled, He catcheth the humbled, by drawing him into his net:

Because of violence done to the poor, because of the crying of the needy, Now, will I arise! O may Yahweh say, - I will place him in safety - let him puff at him!

I will bless Yahweh, who hath counselled me, - Surely, by night, shall mine impulses admonish me.

Made darkness his hiding-place, Round about him - his pavilion, Darkness of waters, clouds of vapours.

And brought me out, into a large place, he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

Who shall ascend the mountain of Yahweh? And who shall stand in his holy place?

O Yahweh, I have loved the asylum of thy house, even the place of the habitation of thy glory!

My foot standeth in a level place, In the convocations, will I bless Yahweh.

Oh save thy people, and bless thine inheritance, Tend them also, and carry them, Unto times age-abiding.

Yahweh, will give, strength to his people, - Yahweh, will bless his people with prosperity.

Incline unto me, thine ear, Speedily rescue me, - Become to me a Rock of refuge, a Place of security, For saving me.

And hast not shut me up in the hand of the foe, Thou hast given standing, in a roomy place, unto my feet.

Thou, art a hiding-place for me, From distress, wilt thou preserve me, - With shouts of deliverance, wilt thou compass me about. Selah.

Out of his settled place of abode, hath he fixed his gaze on all the inhabitants of the earth:

Let me bless Yahweh at all times, Continually be his praise in my mouth.

Yet a little, therefore, and the lawless one shall not be, Yea thou shalt look about, over his place - and he shall have vanished!

That thou shouldst have crushed us down in the place of wild dogs, And covered us over with a deadly shadow.

For, though, his own self - while he lived, he used to bless, And they will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself,

But, I, will sing thy power, And will shout aloud, in the morning, thy lovingkindness, - For thou has become a refuge for me, And a place to flee to in the day of my distress.

Surely, from his elevation, they have taken counsel to thrust him down, They accept falsehood, - With his mouth, they each of them bless, But, inwardly, they revile. Selah.

Thus, will I bless thee while I live, In thy Name, will I lift up mine outspread hands:

The ridges thereof, drenching, Settling the furrows thereof, With myriad drops, dost thou soften it, The sprouting thereof, doth thou bless.

Bless our God, O ye peoples, And cause to he heard, the sound of his praise; -

God, be favorable to us and bless us, Cause his face to shine upon us. Selah.

Earth, will have given her increase, God, our own God, will bless us:

God, will bless us, That all the ends of the earth, may revere him.

In the congregations, bless ye God, My Lord, from among the called of Israel:

I have sunk in deep swamp, Where there is no place to stand, I have come into abysses of waters, Where a flood hath overflowed me;

Be thou unto me, a Rock to dwell in, a Place of Security, To save me, For, my mountain crag and my stronghold, thou art.

May his Name he age-abiding, In the presence of the sun, let his Name flourish, - And may all the families of the ground bless themselves in him, All nations, pronounce him happy!

Now hath come into Salem, his pavilion, And his dwelling-place into Zion.

For he hath devoured Jacob, - And, his dwelling-place, have they laid waste.

In distress, thou didst cry, and I delivered thee, - I answered thee, within a hiding-place of thunder, I proved thee by the waters of Meribah. Selah.

God, hath taken his place in the august assembly, In the midst of the gods, will he judge.

Passing through the balsam-vale, A place of fountains, they make it, Yea, with blessings, is it covered by the early rain.

BOOK THE FOURTH Lord! a dwelling-place, hast, thou, become to us, From generation to generation:

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High, Under the shadow of the Almighty, will tarry,

Because, thou, hast made Yahweh, my refuge, - The Most High, thou last made thy dwelling-place,

Sing to Yahweh, bless ye his Name, - Tell the tidings, from day to day, of his salvation:

Enter ye his gates, with thanksgiving, his courts, with praise, Give ye thanks to him, bless ye his Name;

Bless, O my soul, Yahweh, - And all that is within me, his holy Name;

Bless, O my soul, Yahweh, And forget not all his dealings: -

For, a wind, hath passed ever it, and it is gone, And its own place is acquainted with it no more.

Bless Yahweh, ye messengers of his, - Heroes of vigour, doing his word, To hearken again to the voice of his word;

Bless Yahweh, all ye his hosts, Attendants of his, doing his pleasure;

Bless Yahweh, all ye his works, In all places of his dominion, Bless, O my soul, Yahweh.

Bless, O my soul, Yahweh, - Yahweh, my God, thou art exceedingly great, With honour and majesty, hast thou clothed thyself,

Mountains rise, Valleys sink, Unto the place which thou hast fixed for them;

He hath made the moon for seasons, And, the sun, knoweth his place for entering in.

Sinners shall be consumed out of the earth And, the lawless, no more, shall exist, - Bless, O my soul, Yahweh, Praise ye Yah!

They, may curse if, thou, wilt bless, - Mine assailants, shall be ashamed, but, thy servant, shall rejoice;

Yahweh, hath remembered us, he will bless - He will bless the house of Israel, He will bless the house of Aaron;

He will bless them who revere Yahweh, the small with the great.

But, we, will bless Yah, from henceforth even unto times age-abiding. Praise ye Yah.

That I may walk to and fro in a large place, because, thy precepts, have I sought.

My hiding-place and my buckler, thou art, For thy word, have I waited.

Yahweh will bless thee, out of Zion, - and behold thou the welfare of Jerusalem, all the days of thy life!

Until I find a place for Yahweh, habitations for the Mighty One of Jacob.

Arise! O Yahweh, unto thy place of rest, Thou, and the ark of thy strength.

This, is my place of rest unto futurity, Here, will I dwell, for I have desired it;

Her provision, will I abundantly bless, Her needy ones, will I satisfy with bread;

Lo! bless Yahweh, all ye servants of Yahweh, who stand in the house of Yahweh, by night:

May Yahweh, bless thee, out of Zion, even he that made heaven and earth.

O house of Israel! bless Yahweh, O house of Aaron! bless Yahweh;

O house of Levi! bless Yahweh, Ye that revere Yahweh! bless Yahweh.

I will extol thee, my God, O King, and will bless thy Name, to times age-abiding and beyond:

All thy works, O Yahweh, will give thanks unto thee, - and, thy men of lovingkindness, will bless thee:

The praise of Yahweh, my mouth shall speak, That all flesh may bless his holy Name, Unto times age-abiding and beyond.
