Rise! Yahweh, Save me, my God. Surely thou hast smitten all my foes on the cheekbone, The teeth of the lawless, hast thou broken.

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.

Attend to the voice of my cry, my King and my God, for, unto thee, do I pray.

For, not a GOD finding pleasure in lawlessness, art thou, and wrong can be no guest of thine:

Declare them guilty, O God, Let them fall by their own counsels, - Into the throng of their own transgressions, thrust them down, For they have rebelled against thee: -

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

O Yahweh my God, in thee, have I sought refuge, - Save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me:

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

Let the wrong of the lawless, I pray thee, come to an end, and establish thou him that is righteous, - for, a trier of hearts and reins, is God the righteous one.

My shield, is held by God, who is ready to save the upright in heart:

A God to vindicate the righteous, - and yet a Got to be indignant throughout every day.

A pit, he cut out, and digged it, and then fell into the ditch he had made:

That thou shouldst make him little less than messengers of God, with glory and honour, shouldst crown him?

The lawless, shall return, to hades, all nations forgetful of God.

The lawless one, in the loftiness of his countenance, will not enquire, God is not in any of his plots:

He hath said in his heart, GOD hath forgotten, - He hath veiled his face, Oh he hath never seen!

Arise! Yahweh! O GOD! raise thy hand, - Do not forget the patient!

Wherefore hath the lawless one blasphemed God? He hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it !

May Yahweh cut off All the lips that utter smooth things, - the tongue that speaketh swelling words;

Have regard! answer me O Yahweh my God, - Light up mine eyes, lest I sleep on into death:

The impious hath said in his heart - There is no God! They have acted corruptly, they have done an abominable deed, there is none that doeth good.

Yahweh, out of the heavens, looked down over the sons of men, - to see whether there was one that showed wisdom, enquiring after God: -

The whole, have turned aside, Together have they become tainted, - There is none that doeth good, not so much as, one!

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

Preserve me, O GOD, for I have sought refuge in thee.

I, have called upon thee, for thou wilt answer me, O GOD, - Incline thine ear unto me, Hear thou my speech:

Yahweh, was my mountain crag and my stronghold, and my deliverer: My GOD, was my rock, I sought refuge in him, My shield, and my horn of salvation, my high tower.

In my distress, called I on Yahweh, And, unto my God, made outcry for help, He heard, out of his temple, my voice, And my outcry for help came before him - entered into his ears!

For I had kept the ways of Yahweh, and not broken away from my God;

For, thou, didst light up my lamp, Yahweh my God, enlightened my darkness;

For, by thee, I ran through a troop, and, by my God, I leapt over a wall.

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.

For who is a GOD, save Yahweh? And who is a Rock, save our God?

The GOD who girded me with strength, and set forth, as blameless, my way:

Yahweh liveth and, blessed, be my Rock, yea, exalted, be the God of my salvation:

The GOD, who hath avenged me, - and subjugated peoples under me:

The heavens, are telling the glory of GOD, And, the work of his hands, the expanse is declaring;

Yahweh answer thee, in the day of distress, The Name of the God of Jacob give thee safety;

We will shout aloud in thy salvation, and, in the Name of our God, shall we become great, Yahweh fulfil all thy petitions.

These, by chariots, and, those, by horses, but, we, by the Name of Yahweh our God, will prevail.

My GOD, my GOD, why hast thou forsaken me? Far from saving me, The words of my loud lamentation?

My God! I keep crying - By day, and thou dost not answer, and, By night, and there is no rest for me.

Upon thee, was I cast from the time I was born, From the womb of my mother, my GOD, hast thou been.

Shall bear away a blessing from Yahweh, and righteousness, from his delivering God.

This, is the generation of them who inquire of him, who seek thy face, O God of Jacob. Selah.

O my God, in thee, have I put my trust, Let me not be put to shame, Let not my foe exult over me:

Guide me into thy truth and teach me, for, thou, art my delivering God, For thee, have I waited all the day:

Good and upright, is Yahweh, For this cause, will he direct sinners into the way.

Redeem Israel, O God, - out of all his distresses.

Do not hide thy face from me, Do not repulse, in thine anger, thine own servant, - My help, thou hast been, Do not send me away nor forsake me, O my saving God!

The voice of Yahweh, is upon the waters, - The GOD of glory, hath thundered, Yahweh, is upon mighty waters;

For there is, a Moment, in his anger, a Life-time, in his good-pleasure, In the evening, cometh Weeping to lodge, But, by the morning, -- tis a Shout of Triumph!

O Yahweh, in thy good-pleasure, hadst thou caused my mountain to stand, strong, - Thou didst hide thy face - I was dismayed!

To the end that mine honour should make melody unto thee, and not be silent. O Yahweh, my God! Unto times age-abiding, will I praise thee.

Into thy hand, do I commit my spirit - Thou hast ransomed me, O Yahweh, GOD most faithful.

I, therefore. in thee, have put ray trust, O Yahweh, I have said, My God, thou art!

But, I, had said in mine alarm, I am cut off from before thine eyes, - But, indeed, thou didst hear the voice of my supplication, when I cried for help unto thee.

How happy the nation whose God is, Yahweh, The people he hath chosen as his own inheritance!

Oh taste and see, that good is Yahweh, - How happy the man who seeketh refuge in him!

Young lions, have come short, and suffered hunger, but, they who seek Yahweh, shall not lack any good thing.

Who is the man that desireth life, Loving days, that he may see good?

Depart from wickedness and do good, Aim at well-being, and pursue it.

the face of Yahweh, is against such as do wickedness, To cut off, from the earth, their memory.

They repay me evil for good, Bereaving my soul.

For, no salvation, will they utter, - But, against the quiet of the land, deceitful things, do they devise;

Bestir thyself and wake up, to my vindication, O my God and My Lord! - to my plea:

Vindicate me according to thy righteousness, O Yahweh, my God! And let them not rejoice over me:

Declareth the transgression of the lawless one, within my heart, There is, no dread of God, before his eyes;

Iniquity, deviseth he upon his bed, - he taketh his stand in a way, not good, Wrong, doth he not abhor!

How precious thy lovingkindness, O God, - Therefore, the sons of men, under the shadow of thy wings, seek refuge:

Trust in Yahweh, and do good, Dwell in the land, and feed on fidelity;

For, evil doers, shall be cut off, but, as for them who wait for Yahweh, they, shall inherit the earth.

For, such as are blessed of him, shall inherit the earth, But, the cursed of him, shall be cut off.

Turn from evil, and do good, and so settle down, unto times age-abiding.

For, Yahweh, loveth justice, and will not forsake his men of lovingkindness, Unto times age-abiding, have the perverse been destroyed, - and the seed of the lawless, been cut off.

The law of his God, is in his heart, his steps shall not swerve.

But, transgressors, are to be destroyed together, the hereafter of lawless men, is to be cut off.

Because, for thee, O Yahweh, have I waited, Thou, wilt answer, O Adonay, my God!

Even they who are repaying evil for good, accuse me because I pursue the good.

Do not forsake me, O Yahweh, My God! be not far from me:

Then put he, into my mouth, a new song, Praise to our God, - Many shall see and revere, And shall trust in Yahweh.

Mighty things, hast thou done - Thou, Yahweh my God, Thy wonderful doings and thy purposes to-wards us, There is no setting them in order unto thee - I would tell, and would speak! - They are too great to rehearse.

To do thy good-pleasure, O my God, is my delight, And, thy law, is in the midst of mine inward parts:

I have told the good-tidings of righteousness in a great convocation, Lo! my lips, do I not restrain, O Yahweh, thou, knowest:

But, I, being oppressed and needy, May My Lord devise for me, - My help and my deliverer, thou art! O my God, do not tarry!

Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, From the age that is past, even unto the age yet to come: Amen and Amen!

BOOK THE SECOND As, the hart, cometh panting up to the channels of water, So my soul, panteth for thee, O God.

My soul thirsteth for God, for a GOD who liveth, - When shall I enter in, and see the face of God?

My tears have been my food day and night, While it hath been said unto me all the day, Where is thy God?

These things, I keep calling to mind, and pouring out, over me, my own soul, For I used to cross over with a crowd, Lead them in procession up to the house of God, With the voice of shouting and praise. - a throng keeping festival.

Why shouldst thou be cast down, O my soul? And why shouldst thou moan over me? Wait thou for God, for yet shall I praise him, As the triumph of my presence.

My God! over myself, my soul is cast down, - For this cause, will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, And the Hermons, from the hill Mizar.

By day, will Yahweh command his lovingkindness, And, in the night, shall His song be with me, My prayer be to the GOD of my life.

I will say onto GOD, - my rock, Wherefore hast thou forgotten me? Wherefore in gloom should I go, because of oppression by the enemy?

With a crushing of my bones, have my adversaries reproached me, - While they keep saying unto me all the day, Where is thy God?

Why shouldst thou be sat down, O my soul? And why shouldst thou moan over me? Wait thou for God, for yet shall I praise him, As the triumph of my presence and my God.

Vindicate me, O God, and plead my cause, Against a nation, without lovingkindness, From the man of deceit and perversity, wilt thou deliver me?

For, thou, art my defending God - Wherefore hast thou rejected me? Wherefore in gloom should I wander, because of the oppression of an enemy?

That I may go in unto the altar of God, Unto GOD, mine exultant joy, - That I may praise thee with the lyre, O God - mine own God!

Why shouldst thou be cast down, O my soul? And why shouldst thou moan over me, Wait thou for God, for yet shall I praise him, As the triumph of my presence, and my God.
