I declare concerning a statute: Jehovah said unto me, 'My Son Thou art, I to-day have brought thee forth.

And Thou, O Jehovah, art a shield for me, My honour, and lifter up of my head.

For not a God desiring wickedness art Thou, Evil inhabiteth Thee not.

Thou hast said to Jehovah, 'My Lord Thou art;' My good is not for thine own sake;

As to doings of man, Through a word of Thy lips I have observed The paths of a destroyer;

And Thou art holy, Sitting -- the Praise of Israel.

For thou art He bringing me forth from the womb, Causing me to trust, On the breasts of my mother.

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

Also -- when I walk in a valley of death-shade, I fear no evil, for Thou art with me, Thy rod and Thy staff -- they comfort me.

Cause me to tread in Thy truth, and teach me, For Thou art the God of my salvation, Near Thee I have waited all the day.

For my rock and my bulwark art Thou, For Thy name's sake lead me and tend me.

Bring me out from the net that they hid for me, For Thou art my strength.

And I on Thee -- I have trusted, O Jehovah, I have said, 'Thou art my God.'

Thou art a hiding-place for me, From distress Thou dost keep me, With songs of deliverance dost compass me. Selah.

For upright is the word of Jehovah, And all His work is in faithfulness.

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

And I am poor and needy, The Lord doth devise for me. My help and my deliverer art Thou, O my God, tarry Thou not.

What! bowest thou thyself, O my soul? Yea, art thou troubled within me? Wait for God, for still I confess Him: The salvation of my countenance -- My God!

What! bowest thou thyself, O my soul? And what! art thou troubled within me? Wait for God, for still I confess Him, The salvation of my countenance, and my God!

For thou art the God of my strength. Why hast Thou cast me off? Why mourning do I go up and down, In the oppression of an enemy?

What! bowest thou thyself, O my soul? And what! art thou troubled within me? Wait for God, for still I confess Him, The salvation of my countenance, and my God!

Thou art He, my king, O God, Command the deliverances of Jacob.

If thou hast seen a thief, Then thou art pleased with him, And with adulterers is thy portion.

Against Thee, Thee only, I have sinned, And done the evil thing in Thine eyes, So that Thou art righteous in Thy words, Thou art pure in Thy judging.

In God I praise His word, in God I have trusted, I fear not what flesh doth to me.

In God I praise the word, In Jehovah I praise the word.

The sin of their mouth is a word of their lips, And they are captured in their pride, And from the curse and lying they recount.

A Psalm of David, in his being in the wilderness of Judah. O God, Thou art my God, earnestly do I seek Thee, Thirsted for Thee hath my soul, Longed for Thee hath my flesh, In a land dry and weary, without waters.

Who sharpened as a sword their tongue, They directed their arrow -- a bitter word.

And I am poor and needy, O God, haste to me, My help and my deliverer art Thou, O Jehovah, tarry Thou not!

Be to me for a rock -- a habitation, To go in continually, Thou hast given command to save me, For my rock and my bulwark art Thou.

For Thou art my hope, O Lord Jehovah, My trust from my youth.

As a wonder I have been to many, And Thou art my strong refuge.

Bright art Thou, honourable above hills of prey.

Thou, fearful art Thou, And who doth stand before Thee, Since Thou hast been angry!

Thou art the God doing wonders. Thou hast made known among the peoples Thy strength,

Till when, O Jehovah? art Thou angry for ever? Thy jealousy doth burn as fire.

And they know that Thou -- (Thy name is Jehovah -- by Thyself,) Art the Most High over all the earth!

To the age art Thou angry against us? Dost Thou draw out Thine anger To generation and generation?

For Thou, Lord, art good and forgiving. And abundant in kindness to all calling Thee.

For great art Thou, and doing wonders, Thou art God Thyself alone.

And Thou, O Lord, art God, merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness and truth.

Thou art ruler over the pride of the sea, In the lifting up of its billows Thou dost restrain them.

For the beauty of their strength art Thou, And in Thy good will is our horn exalted,

He proclaimeth me: 'Thou art my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation.'

Till when, O Jehovah, art Thou hidden? For ever doth Thy fury burn as fire?

Before mountains were brought forth, And Thou dost form the earth and the world, Even from age unto age Thou art God.

To number our days aright let us know, And we bring the heart to wisdom.

Thou art not afraid of fear by night, Of arrow that flieth by day,

(For Thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge,) The Most High thou madest thy habitation.

And Thou art high to the age, O Jehovah.

Established is Thy throne since then, From the age Thou art.

For Thou, Jehovah, art Most High over all the earth, Greatly Thou hast been exalted over all gods.

And Thou art the same, and Thine years are not finished.

Bless Jehovah, ye His messengers, Mighty in power -- doing His word, To hearken to the voice of His Word.

He hath remembered to the age His covenant, The word He commanded to a thousand generations,

Till the time of the coming of His word The saying of Jehovah hath tried him.

He hath sent darkness, and it is dark, And they have not provoked His word.

For He hath remembered His holy word, With Abraham His servant,

And they kick against the desirable land, They have not given credence to His word.

He sendeth His word and healeth them, And delivereth from their destructions.

Jehovah hath sworn, and doth not repent, 'Thou art a priest to the age, According to the order of Melchizedek.'

I thank Thee, for Thou hast answered me, And art to me for salvation.

My God Thou art, and I confess Thee, My God, I exalt Thee.

Beth. With what doth a young man purify his path? To observe -- according to Thy word.

Blessed art Thou, O Jehovah, teach me Thy statutes.

In Thy statutes I delight myself, I do not forget Thy word.

Gimel. Confer benefits on Thy servant, I live, and I keep Thy word.

Daleth. Cleaved to the dust hath my soul, Quicken me according to Thy word.

My soul hath dropped from affliction, Establish me according to Thy word.

And I answer him who is reproaching me a word, For I have trusted in Thy word.

And Thou takest not utterly away From my mouth the word of truth, Because for Thy judgment I have hoped.

Zain. Remember the word to Thy servant, On which Thou hast caused me to hope.

Teth. Good Thou didst with Thy servant, O Jehovah, According to Thy word.

Good Thou art, and doing good, Teach me Thy statutes.

Those fearing Thee see me and rejoice, Because for Thy word I have hoped.

Kaph. Consumed for Thy salvation hath been my soul, For Thy word I have hoped.

Consumed have been mine eyes for Thy word, Saying, 'When doth it comfort me?'

Lamed. To the age, O Jehovah, Thy word is set up in the heavens.

From every evil path I restrained my feet, So that I keep Thy word.

Nun. A lamp to my foot is Thy word, And a light to my path.

I have been afflicted very much, O Jehovah, quicken me, according to Thy word.

My hiding place and my shield art Thou, For Thy word I have hoped.

Tzade. Righteous art Thou, O Jehovah, And upright are Thy judgments.

I have gone forward in the dawn, and I cry, For Thy word I have hoped.

Near art Thou, O Jehovah, And all Thy commands are truth.

The sum of Thy word is truth, And to the age is every judgment of Thy righteousness!

Taw. My loud cry cometh near before Thee, O Jehovah; According to Thy word cause me to understand.

The labour of thy hands thou surely eatest, Happy art thou, and good is to thee.

I hoped for Jehovah -- hoped hath my soul, And for His word I have waited.

For there is not a word in my tongue, Lo, O Jehovah, Thou hast known it all!

If I ascend the heavens -- there Thou art, And spread out a couch in Sheol, lo, Thee!

I have said to Jehovah, 'My God art Thou, Hear, Jehovah, the voice of my supplications.'

I have cried unto thee, O Jehovah, I have said, 'Thou art my refuge, My portion in the land of the living.'

Teach me to do Thy good pleasure, For Thou art my God -- Thy Spirit is good, Lead me into a land of uprightness.

The eyes of all unto Thee do look, And Thou art giving to them their food in its season,

Who is sending forth His saying on earth, Very speedily doth His word run.

He sendeth forth His word and melteth them, He causeth His wind to blow -- the waters flow.

Fire and hail, snow and vapour, Whirlwind doing His word;
