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].

For the Lord knows and fully approves the way of the righteous,
But the way of the wicked shall perish.

Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous [those in right standing with You];
For the righteous God tries the hearts and minds.

His mischief will return on his own head,
And his violence will come down on the top of his head [like loose dirt].

He says to himself, “I will not be moved;
For throughout all generations I will not be in adversity [for nothing bad will happen to me].”

Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion!
When the Lord restores His captive people,
Then Jacob will rejoice, Israel will be glad.

Let my verdict of vindication come from Your presence;
May Your eyes look with equity and behold things that are just.

The cords of Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead) surrounded me;
The snares of death confronted me.

In my distress [when I seemed surrounded] I called upon the Lord
And cried to my God for help;
He heard my voice from His temple,
And my cry for help came before Him, into His very ears.

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

They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
But the Lord was my support.

Foreigners lose heart,
And come trembling out of their strongholds.

They will come and declare His righteousness
To a people yet to be born—that He has done it [and that it is finished].

Lift up your heads, O gates,
And be lifted up, ancient doors,
That the King of glory may come in.

Lift up your heads, O gates,
And lift them up, ancient doors,
That the King of glory may come in.

When the wicked came against me to eat up my flesh,
My adversaries and my enemies, they stumbled and fell.

Do not be like the horse or like the mule which have no understanding,
Whose trappings include bridle and rein to hold them in check,
Otherwise they will not come near to you.

Come, you children, listen to me;
I will teach you to fear the Lord [with awe-inspired reverence and worship Him with obedience].

For Your arrows have sunk into me and penetrate deeply,
And Your hand has pressed down on me and greatly disciplined me.

Then I said, “Behold, I come [to the throne];
In the scroll of the book it is written of me.

My soul (my life, my inner self) thirsts for God, for the living God.
When will I come and see the face of God?

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].

Rise up! Come be our help,
And ransom us for the sake of Your steadfast love.

Come, behold the works of the Lord,
Who has brought desolations and wonders on the earth.

For, lo, the kings assembled themselves,
They [came and] passed by together.

Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion!
When God restores [the fortunes of] His people,
Let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.

Fear and trembling have come upon me;
Horror has overwhelmed me.

Let death come deceitfully upon them;
Let them go down alive to Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead),
For evil [of every kind] is in their dwelling and in their hearts, in their midst.

He has redeemed my life in peace from the battle that was against me,
For there were many against me.

You will prolong the king’s life [adding days upon days];
His years will be like many generations.

O You who hear prayer,
To You all mankind comes.

Blessed is the one whom You choose and bring near
To dwell in Your courts.
We will be filled with the goodness of Your house,
Your holy temple.

Come and see the works of God,
He is awesome in His deeds toward the children of men.

I shall come into Your house with burnt offerings;
I shall pay You my vows,

Come and hear, all who fear God [and worship Him with awe-inspired reverence and obedience],
And I will tell what He has done for me.

Princes and envoys shall come from Egypt;
Ethiopia will quickly stretch out her hands [with the offerings of submission] to God.

Save me, O God,
For the waters have threatened my life [they have come up to my neck].

I have sunk in deep mire, where there is no foothold;
I have come into deep waters, where a flood overwhelms me.

Add [unforgiven] iniquity to their iniquity [in Your book],
And may they not come into Your righteousness.

I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord God [and in His strength];
I will make mention of Your righteousness, Yours alone.

And even when I am old and gray-headed, O God, do not abandon me,
Until I declare Your [mighty] strength to this generation,
Your power to all who are to come.

“When I select an appointed time,
I will judge with equity,” [says the Lord].

For not from the east, nor from the west,
Nor from the desert comes exaltation.

We will not hide them from their children,
But [we will] tell to the generation to come the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord,
And [tell of] His great might and power and the wonderful works that He has done.

That the generation to come might know them, that the children still to be born
May arise and recount them to their children,

The wrath of God rose against them
And killed some of the strongest of them,
And subdued the choice young men of Israel.

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

O God, the nations have invaded [the land of Your people] Your inheritance;
They have defiled Your sacred temple;
They have laid Jerusalem in ruins.

O do not remember against us the sins and guilt of our forefathers.
Let Your compassion and mercy come quickly to meet us,
For we have been brought very low.

Let the groaning and sighing of the prisoner come before You;
According to the greatness of Your power keep safe those who are doomed to die.

Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up Your power
And come to save us!

Those who hate the Lord would pretend obedience to Him and cringe before Him,
And their time of punishment would be forever.

They have said, “Come, and let us wipe them out as a nation;
Let the name of Israel be remembered no more.”

All nations whom You have made shall come and kneel down in worship before You, O Lord,
And they shall glorify Your name.

Let my prayer come before You and enter into Your presence;
Incline Your ear to my cry!

You have put my friends far from me;
You have made me an object of loathing to them.
I am shut up and I cannot go out.

But I have cried out to You, O Lord, for help;
And in the morning my prayer will come to You.

A thousand may fall at your side
And ten thousand at your right hand,
But danger will not come near you.

No evil will befall you,
Nor will any plague come near your tent.

O come, let us sing joyfully to the Lord;
Let us shout joyfully to the rock of our salvation.

Let us come before His presence with a song of thanksgiving;
Let us shout joyfully to Him with songs.

O come, let us worship and bow down,
Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker [in reverent praise and prayer].

Ascribe to the Lord the glory of His name;
Bring an offering and come into His courts.

Serve the Lord with gladness and delight;
Come before His presence with joyful singing.

I will behave wisely and follow the way of integrity.
When will You come to me?
I will walk in my house in integrity and with a blameless heart.

Hear my prayer, O Lord,
And let my cry for help come to You!

You will arise and have compassion on Zion,
For it is time to be gracious and show favor to her;
Yes, the appointed time [the moment designated] has come.

Until the time that his word [of prophecy regarding his brothers] came true,
The word of the Lord tested and refined him.

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

He spoke, and there came swarms of flies
And gnats in all their territory.

He spoke, and the [migratory] locusts came,
And the young locusts, even without number,

They staggered and trembled like a drunken man,
And were at their wits’ end [all their wisdom was useless].

He also loved cursing, and it came [back] to him;
He did not delight in blessing, so it was far from him.

The wicked will see it and be angered,
He will gnash his teeth and melt away [in despair and death];
The desire of the wicked will perish and come to nothing.

When Israel came out of Egypt,
The house of Jacob from a people of strange language,

Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord;
We have blessed you from the house of the Lord [you who come into His sanctuary under His guardianship].

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

Let Your compassion come to me that I may live,
For Your law is my delight.

Tav.
Let my [mournful] cry come before You, O Lord;
Give me understanding [the ability to learn and a teachable heart] according to Your word [of promise].

Let my supplication come before You;
Deliver me according to Your word.

I will lift up my eyes to the hills [of Jerusalem]—
From where shall my help come?

He who goes back and forth weeping, carrying his bag of seed [for planting],
Will indeed come again with a shout of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.

It is like the precious oil [of consecration] poured on the head,
Coming down on the beard,
Even the beard of Aaron,
Coming down upon the edge of his [priestly] robes [consecrating the whole body].

“Those who surround me raise their heads;
May the mischief of their own lips come upon them.

Bow Your heavens, O Lord, and come down;
Touch the mountains, and they will smoke.
