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].

If a man does not repent, God will sharpen His sword;
He has strung and bent His [mighty] bow and made it ready.

You made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands;
You have put all things under his feet,

The nations have sunk down in the pit which they have made;
In the net which they hid, their own foot has been caught.

My steps have held closely to Your paths;
My feet have not staggered.

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

He makes my feet like hinds’ feet [able to stand firmly and tread safely on paths of testing and trouble];
He sets me [securely] upon my high places.

You enlarge the path beneath me and make my steps secure,
So that my feet will not slip.

I shattered them so that they were not able to rise;
They fell [wounded] under my feet.

For [a pack of] dogs have surrounded me;
A gang of evildoers has encircled me,
They pierced my hands and my feet.

The Lord is my Shepherd [to feed, to guide and to shield me],
I shall not want.

My eyes are continually toward the Lord,
For He will bring my feet out of the net.

My foot stands on a level place;
In the congregations I will bless the Lord.

And You have not given me into the hand of the enemy;
You have set my feet in a broad place.

The young lions lack [food] and grow hungry,
But they who seek the Lord will not lack any good thing.

Contend, O Lord, with those who contend with me;
Fight against those who fight against me.

Do not let the foot of the proud [person] overtake me,
And do not let the hand of the wicked drive me away.

Trust [rely on and have confidence] in the Lord and do good;
Dwell in the land and feed [securely] on His faithfulness.

But the wicked (ungodly) will perish,
And the enemies of the Lord will be like the glory of the pastures and like the fat of lambs [that is consumed in smoke],
They vanish—like smoke they vanish away.

For I pray, “May they not rejoice over me,
Who, when my foot slips, would boast against me.”

He brought me up out of a horrible pit [of tumult and of destruction], out of the miry clay,
And He set my feet upon a rock, steadying my footsteps and establishing my path.

My tears have been my food day and night,
While they say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”

He subdues peoples under us
And nations under our feet.

This is the fate of those who are foolishly confident,
And of those after them who approve [and are influenced by] their words. Selah.

My enemies have trampled upon me all day long,
For they are many who fight proudly against me.

For You have rescued my soul from death,
Yes, and my feet from stumbling,
So that I may walk before God
In the light of life.

The [unyieldingly] righteous will rejoice when he sees the vengeance [of God];
He will wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.

They wander around for food [to devour]
And growl all night if they are not satisfied.

He turned the sea into dry land;
They crossed through the river on foot;
There we rejoiced in Him.

Who keeps us among the living,
And does not allow our feet to slip or stumble.

I shall offer to You burnt offerings of fat lambs,
With the [sweet] smoke of rams;
I will offer bulls with male goats. Selah.

That your foot may crush them in blood,
That the tongue of your dogs may have its share from your enemies.”

They (self-righteous hypocrites) also gave me gall [poisonous and bitter] for my food,
And for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

But as for me, my feet came close to stumbling,
My steps had almost slipped.

Turn your footsteps [quickly] toward the perpetual ruins;
The enemy has damaged everything within the sanctuary.

You crushed the heads of Leviathan (Egypt);
You gave him as food for the creatures of the wilderness.

And in their hearts they put God to the test
By asking for food according to their [selfish] appetite.

Then they spoke against God;
They said, “Can God prepare [food for] a table in the wilderness?

Man ate the bread of angels;
God sent them provision in abundance.

They have given the dead bodies of Your servants as food to the birds of the heavens,
The flesh of Your godly ones to the beasts of the earth.

You have fed them the bread of tears,
And You have made them drink [bitter] tears in abundance.

“But I would feed Israel with the finest of the wheat;
And with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”

They will lift you up in their hands,
So that you do not [even] strike your foot against a stone.

Rise up, O Judge of the earth;
Give to the proud a fitting compensation.

If I say, “My foot has slipped,”
Your compassion and lovingkindness, O Lord, will hold me up.

My heart has been struck like grass and withered,
Indeed, [absorbed by my heartache] I forget to eat my food.

He causes grass to grow for the cattle,
And all that the earth produces for cultivation by man,
So that he may bring food from the earth—

The young lions roar after their prey
And seek their food from God.

They all wait for You
To give them their food in its appointed season.

His feet they hurt with shackles;
He was put in chains of iron,

They detested all kinds of food,
And they drew near to the gates of death.

He has given food to those who fear Him [with awe-inspired reverence];
He will remember His covenant forever.

They have hands, but they cannot feel;
They have feet, but they cannot walk;
Nor can they make a sound with their throats.

For You have rescued my life from death,
My eyes from tears,
And my feet from stumbling and falling.

I considered my ways
And turned my feet to [follow and obey] Your testimonies.

Their heart is insensitive like fat [their minds are dull and brutal],
But I delight in Your law.

I have restrained my feet from every evil way,
That I may keep Your word.

Nun.
Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path.

He will not allow your foot to slip;
He who keeps you will not slumber.

Our feet are standing
Within your gates, O Jerusalem,

Who gives food to all flesh,
For His lovingkindness endures forever;

Blessed be the Lord, my Rock and my great strength,
Who trains my hands for war
And my fingers for battle;

The eyes of all look to You [in hopeful expectation],
And You give them their food in due time.

Who executes justice for the oppressed,
Who gives food to the hungry.
The Lord sets free the prisoners.

He gives to the beast its food,
And to the young ravens that for which they cry.
