Blessed is the man who has not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, and has not stood in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the seat of the scornful.

But his delight is only in the Law of Jehovah; and in His Law he meditates day and night.

Let us break their bands in two and cast away their cords from us.

And now be wise, O kings; be instructed, O judges of the earth.

Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and you perish from the way, when His wrath is kindled in but a little time. Blessed are all who put their trust in Him.

Many are saying of my soul, There is no deliverance for him in God. Selah.

Salvation belongs to Jehovah. Your blessing is on Your people. Selah.

There are many who say, Who will show us any good? Jehovah, lift up the light of Your face on us.

For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is wickedness; their throat is an open grave; they flatter with their tongue.

For You; O Jehovah, will bless the righteous; with favor You will surround him as with a shield.

My soul also is exceedingly troubled; but You, O Jehovah, how long?

For in death there is no memory of You; in the grave who shall give You thanks?

My eye is dim because of grief; it wastes away because of all my enemies.

lest he tear my soul like a lion, tearing it in pieces, and there is no one to deliver.

O Jehovah my God, if I have done this; if there is iniquity in my hands;

My defense is from God, who saves the upright in heart.

God judges the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.

To the Chief Musician, on the harp. A Psalm of David. O Jehovah our Lord, how excellent is Your name in all the earth! You have set Your glory above the heavens!

what is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man, that You visit him?

O Jehovah, our Lord, how excellent is Your name in all the earth!

The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made; their foot is caught in the net which they hid.

Jehovah is known. He has executed judgment; the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. A meditation. Selah.

Through the pride of his face the wicked will not seek Him; There is no God in all his schemes.

His ways are always perverted; Your judgments are high, out of his sight. As for all his enemies, he puffs at them.

His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud; under his tongue are mischief and vanity.

Jehovah is King forever and ever; the nations have perished out of His land.

Jehovah is in His holy temple; Jehovah's throne is in Heaven; His eyes behold, His eyelids examine the children of men.

that has said, With our tongue we shall do much; our lips are our own; who is lord over us?

The wicked walk on every side, when vileness is praised by the sons of men.

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The fool has said in his heart, There is no God! They acted corruptly; they have done abominable works, there is none who does good.

All have gone aside, together they are filthy; there is none who does good, no, not one.

Have all the workers of iniquity not known, eating up My people as they eat bread? They have not called on Jehovah.

There they were in great fear; for God is in the generation of the righteous.

You have shamed the counsel of the poor, because Jehovah is his refuge.

in whose eyes the reprobate is despised, but he honors those who fear Jehovah; he has sworn to his hurt, and does not change it;

As to the saints in the earth, they are the excellent, in whom is all my delight.

Jehovah is the portion of my inheritance, and of my cup; You shall uphold my lot.

I have set Jehovah always before Me; because He is at My right hand, I shall not be moved.

Therefore My heart is glad, and My glory rejoices; My flesh also shall rest in hope;

You will make Me know the way of life; in Your presence is fullness of joys. At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

A Prayer of David. Hear the right, O Jehovah; listen to my cry; Give ear to my prayer, for it is not in lips of deceit.

Keep me as the pupil, the daughter of the eye; hide me under the shadow of Your wings,

their likeness is like a lion that longs to tear, and like a young lion lurking in secret places.

from men by Your hand, O Jehovah, from men of the world whose portion is in this life, and whose belly You fill with Your treasure. They are satisfied with sons, and will leave their riches to their babes.

As for me, I will behold Your face in righteousness; when I awake, I shall be satisfied with Your image.

Jehovah is my strength, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock; I will trust in Him; He is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.

I will call on Jehovah, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies.

As for God, His way is perfect; the Word of Jehovah is tried; He is a shield to all those who trust in Him.

For who is God besides Jehovah? Or, who is a Rock except our God?

It is God who girds me with strength and makes my way perfect.

He teaches my hands to war, so that a bow of bronze is bent by my arms.

Then I beat them small as the dust before the wind; I cast them out like the dirt in the streets.

As soon as they hear of Me, they shall obey Me; the sons of strangers shall bow down to Me.

It is God who avenges me, and humbles the people under me.

There is no speech nor are there words; their voice is not heard.

and he comes forth as a bridegroom from his canopy; he rejoices as a strong man to run a race,

going forth from the end of the heavens, and its course is to their ends. And there is nothing hid from its heat.

The Law of Jehovah is perfect, converting the soul; the testimony of Jehovah is sure, making the simple wise.

The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring forever; the judgments of Jehovah are true and righteous altogether,

And Your servant is warned by them; in keeping them there is great reward.

Save, O Jehovah; let the King hear us when we call.

His glory is great in Your salvation; honor and majesty You have laid on him.

You shall make them as a fiery oven in the time of Your presence; Jehovah will swallow them up in His wrath, and the fire shall devour them.

Be not far from Me; for trouble is near, for there is none to help.

I am poured out like water, and all My bones are spread apart; My heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of My bowels.

My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and My tongue clings to My jaws;

For the kingdom is Jehovah's; and He is the ruler among the nations.

A Psalm of David. Jehovah is my Shepherd; I shall not want.

A Psalm of David. The earth is Jehovah's, and the fullness of it; the world, and those who dwell in it.

This is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek Your face, O God of Jacob. Selah.

Who is this King of glory? Jehovah strong and mighty, Jehovah mighty in battle.

Who is this King of glory? Jehovah of Hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah.

Good and upright is Jehovah; therefore He will teach sinners in the way.

For Your name's sake, O Jehovah, pardon my iniquity; for it is great.

What man is he who fears Jehovah? He shall teach him in the way that he shall choose.

The secret of Jehovah is with those who fear Him; and He will show them His covenant.

For Your loving-kindness is before my eyes; and I have walked in Your truth.

in whose hands is a plot, and their right hand is full of a bribe.

A Psalm of David. Jehovah is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? Jehovah is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbors, yet evil is in their hearts.

Blessed is Jehovah, because He has heard the voice of my prayers.

Jehovah is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; therefore my heart greatly rejoices; and with my song I will praise Him.

Jehovah is a strength to them, and He is the saving strength of His anointed.

The voice of Jehovah is on the waters; the God of glory thunders; Jehovah is above many waters.

The voice of Jehovah is in power, the voice of Jehovah is in majesty.

The voice of Jehovah causes the does to calve, and uncovers the forests; and in His temple all of it is saying, Glory!

Jehovah sits on the flood; yea, Jehovah sits as King forever.

For His anger is only a moment; in His favor is life. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

What profit is in my blood, in going down to the pit? Shall the dust praise You? Shall it tell of Your truth?

For my life is ending with grief, and my years with sighing; my strength fails because of my iniquity, and my bones have wasted away.

I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind; I am like a broken vessel.

For I have heard the slander of many; fear is on every side; because of their plottings together against me, they planned to take away my life.

How great is Your goodness, which You have laid up for those who fear You; You have worked for those who trust in You before the sons of men!

Blessed is Jehovah; for He has worked His mercy wondrously in a besieged city.

A Psalm of David. A Contemplation. Blessed is the man whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

Blessed is the man to whom Jehovah does not charge iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.

For by day and by night Your hand was heavy on me; my sap is turned into the droughts of summer. Selah.

Be not like the horse, or like the mule, who have no understanding, whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, so that they do not come near you.

Rejoice in Jehovah, O righteous ones; praise is becoming for the upright.

For the Word of Jehovah is right; and all His works are in truth.
