For You meet him with blessings of good things;
You set a crown of pure gold on his head.

He lets me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still and quiet waters.

For they will wither quickly like the grass,
And fade like the green herb.

I have seen a wicked, violent man [with great power]
Spreading and flaunting himself like a cedar in its native soil,

I am numb and greatly bruised [deadly cold and completely worn out];
I groan because of the disquiet and moaning of my heart.

But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in the house of God;
I trust [confidently] in the lovingkindness of God forever and ever.

Before your cooking pots can feel the fire of thorns [burning under them as fuel],
He will sweep them away with a whirlwind, the green and the burning ones alike.

You visit the earth and make it overflow [with water];
You greatly enrich it;
The stream of God is full of water;
You provide their grain, when You have prepared the earth.

You crown the year with Your bounty,
And Your paths overflow.

The meadows are clothed with flocks
And the valleys are covered with grain;
They shout for joy and they sing.

When you lie down [to rest] among the sheepfolds,
You [Israel] are like the wings of a dove [of victory] overlaid with silver,
Its feathers glistening with gold [trophies taken from the enemy].

There will be an abundance of grain in the soil on the top of the mountains;
Its fruit will wave like [the cedars of] Lebanon,
And those of the city will flourish like grass of the earth.

I remember God; then I am disquieted and I groan;
I sigh [in prayer], and my spirit grows faint. Selah.

And He rained down manna upon them to eat
And gave them the grain of heaven.

You have spurned and repudiated the covenant with Your servant;
You have profaned his crown [by casting it] in the dust.

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.

“His enemies I will clothe with shame,
But upon himself shall his crown shine.”

“Bring my soul out of prison (adversity),
So that I may give thanks and praise Your name;
The righteous will surround me [in triumph],
For You will look after me.”

Let our sons in their youth be like plants full grown,
And our daughters like corner pillars fashioned for a palace;
