Be deeply moved, but do not sin, - Ponder in your own heart upon your bed, and be silent. Selah.

Thou hast put gladness in my heart, - beyond the season when, their corn and their new wine, have increased.

Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity, for Yahweh hath heard the voice of my weeping:

Yahweh, hath heard my supplication, Yahweh, will receive, my prayer.

My shield, is held by God, who is ready to save the upright in heart:

I will praise Yahweh with all my heart, I will recount all thy wonderful doings:

He hath said in his heart, I shall not be shaken, - From generation to generation, shall I be in no misfortune.

He hath said in his heart, GOD hath forgotten, - He hath veiled his face, Oh he hath never seen!

Wherefore hath the lawless one blasphemed God? He hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it !

The longing of the patient, thou hast heard, O Yahweh, Thou wilt establish their heart, Thou wilt make attentive thine ear:

For lo! the lawless, bend the bow They have fixed their arrow upon the string, To shoot in the darkness at the upright in heart:

Deception, speak they, every one with his neighbour, - with lips uttering smooth things - with a heart and a heart, do they speak.

How long shall I lay up cares within my soul, sorrow in my heart, day by day? How long shall mine enemy lift himself up over me?

But, I, in thy lovingkindness, have put my trust, My heart shall exult in thy salvation:

The impious hath said in his heart - There is no God! They have acted corruptly, they have done an abominable deed, there is none that doeth good.

Therefore, hath my heart rejoiced, and mine honour exulted, Yea, my flesh, shall settle down securely;

Thou hast tested my heart, hast made inspection by night, hast refined me until thou couldst find nothing, Had I devised evil, my mouth should not have transgressed:

Their own fat heart , have they shut up, - With their mouth, have they spoken proudly.

In my distress, called I on Yahweh, And, unto my God, made outcry for help, He heard, out of his temple, my voice, And my outcry for help came before him - entered into his ears!

The sons of the foreigner, lost heart, and came quaking out of their fortresses.

The precepts of Yahweh, are right, Rejoicing the heart, The, commandment of Yahweh, is pure, Enlightening the eyes;

The words of my mouth, and the soft utterance of my heart, shall come with acceptance, before thee, O Yahweh, my Rock and my Redeemer!

Give thee according to thy heart, and, all thy purposes, fulfil.

The longing of his heart, hast thou given him, and, the request of his lips, hast thou not withheld. Selah.

Like water, am I poured out, and, put out of joint, are all my bones, - My heart, hath become, like wax, it is melted in the midst of my body;

For he hath not despised nor abhorred the humbling of the patient one, neither hath he hid his face from him, but, when he cried for help unto him, he heard.

The patient wronged-ones shall eat and be satisfied, They shall praise Yahweh, who are seekers of him, Let your heart live for aye.

The clean of hands, and pure of heart, - who hath not uplifted, to falsehood, his soul, nor sworn deceitfully,

The distresses of my heart, hath he relieved, - and, out of my straits, brought me forth.

Try me, O Yahweh, and prove me, Test my reins and my heart: -

Though there pitch against me - a camp, my heart shall not fear, - Though there come up against me - a battle, still, am I confident.

To thee, said my heart - When thou saidst Seek ye my face - Thy face, O Yahweh, will I seek!

Wait thou for Yahweh, - Be strong, and let thy heart be bold, Wait, then, for Yahweh!

Do not drag me away - with the lawless, or with the workers of iniquity, - who speak peaceably with their neighbours, but, wrong, is in their heart.

Blessed be Yahweh, Because he hath heard the voice of my supplication.

Yahweh, is my strength and my shield, In him, hath trusted my heart, and I have found help, - Therefore hath my heart danced for joy, and, with my song, do I praise him.

For I have heard the whispering of many - A terror round about! When they have sat in conclave together against me, to take away my life, have they intrigued.

Be strong, and let your heart be bold, all ye who are waiting for Yahweh.

Rejoice in Yahweh and exult, O ye righteous, Yea, shout in triumph, all ye upright in heart!

The counsel of Yahweh, to times age-abiding, shall stand, The devices of his heart, from generation to generation.

Who fashioneth their heart all together, Who understandeth all their doings.

For, in him, shall our heart rejoice, For, in his holy Name, have we trusted.

This, oppressed one cried, and, Yahweh, heard - and, out of all his distresses, saved him.

They made outcry, and Yahweh heard, And, out of all their straits, hath he rescued them.

Near is Yahweh, to the broken in heart, And, the crushed in spirit, will he save.

Let them be ashamed and confounded, who are seeking my life, - Let them turn back and be put to the blush, who are devising my hurt:

Let them not say in their heart, Aha! to our mind! Let them not say, We have swallowed him up!

Declareth the transgression of the lawless one, within my heart, There is, no dread of God, before his eyes;

Prolong thy lovingkindness unto them who know thee, - and thy righteousness, to the upright in heart.

Yea, rest thy delight on Yahweh, that he may give thee the requests of thy heart.

Their sword, shall enter into their own heart, and, their bow, shall be broken.

The law of his God, is in his heart, his steps shall not swerve.

I am benumbed and crushed exceedingly, - I have cried aloud because of the groaning of my heart.

My heart, fluttereth, my strength hath forsaken me, and, as for the light of mine eyes, even they, are not with me:

Hot was my heart within me, While I was musing, there was kindled a fire, I spake with my tongue!

I waited patiently for Yahweh, - And he inclined, unto me, and heard my cry for help;

Thy righteousness, have I not hid in the midst of my heart, Thy faithfulness and thy salvation, have I spoken, I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truthfulness from the great convocation.

And, if he have come to see me, Falsehood, doth he speak, His own heart, gathereth iniquity to itself, he goeth forth, abroad he telleth it.

Together - against me, do all who hate me whisper among themselves, Against me, devise they hurt for me.

BOOK THE SECOND As, the hart, cometh panting up to the channels of water, So my soul, panteth for thee, O God.

O God! with our own ears, have we heard, Our fathers, have recounted to us, - The work thou didst work, In their day, In the days of aforetime:

Our heart had not drawn back, Nor had our goings swerved from thy path;

Would not, God, have searched into this, Seeing that, he, knoweth the secrets of the heart?

Overflowed hath my heart, with an excellent theme, I will recite my poem concerning the king, Be, my tongue, like the pen of a scribe who is skilled.

Thine arrows, are sharp - Peoples, under thee, fall! In the heart of the foes of the king.

For this cause, will we not fear, Though the earth showeth change, Or the mountains slip into the heart of the seas:

Just as we have heard, So, have we see, In the city of Yahweh of hosts, In the city of our God, God himself, will establish her, unto times age-abiding. Selah.

My mouth, shall speak forth Wisdom, And the soft utterance of my heart be Understanding:

A pure heart, create for me, O God, And, a steadfast spirit, renew within me.

The sacrifices of God, are a spirit that is broken, - A heart - broken and crushed, O God, thou wilt not despise.

The impious hath said in his heart, There is no God! They have acted corruptly, They have wrought abominable perversity, There is none that doeth good: -

My heart, would writhe within me, And, the terrors of Death, have fallen upon me:

At evening and morning and high noon, have I been wont to lament and complain, And he hath heard my voice!

Smoother than curds, were the words of his mouth, But, war, was in his heart, - Softer his words than oil, Yet, they, were drawn swords!

Fixed is my heart, O God, Fixed is my heart, I will sing, and touch the strings.

From the end of the earth, unto thee do I cry, When my heart fainteth away, Unto a rock that is higher than I, wilt thou lead me.

Trust ye in him all ye assembly of the people, Pour out, before him, your heart, God, is a refuge for us. Selah.

Do not trust in extortion, Nor, with robbery, become vain, As for wealth, when it beareth fruit, Do not set thereon your heart.

One thing, hath God spoken, Two things, there are which I have heard, That, power, belongeth unto God;

The righteous man shall rejoice Yahweh, and seek refuge in him, Then shall glory - all who are upright in heart.

Bless our God, O ye peoples, And cause to he heard, the sound of his praise; -

If, iniquity, I had cared for in my heart, My Lord, had not heard me!

But in truth, God hath heard, He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

Rebuke thou, The wild beast of the reeds, The herd of mighty oxen among the calves of the peoples - Each one bowing down with bars of silver, - Scatter thou the peoples, who in wars take delight.

Reproach hath broken my heart, and I am weak, - Though I waited for one to pity me, yet there was none, And for comforters, yet I found not any.

So shall it be more pleasing to Yahweh than a bullock of the herd, Showing horn and divided hoof.

The humbled have seen - they rejoice! Ye seekers of God, let your heart, then, revive;

Let them be ashamed - be consumed, Who are assailing my life, - Let them be covered with reproach and confusion, Who are seeking my hurt.

Even my tongue, all the day, shall softly utter thy righteousness, For they have turned pale - for they have blushed, Who were seeking my hurt.

BOOK THE THIRD Nothing but good, is God, Unto Israel, Unto the pure in heart.

Of the toil of weak mortals, have they none, Nor, with the sons of earth, are they hard smitten.

Their iniquity, hath proceeded from fatness, They have surpassed the imaginations of the heart;

Altogether in vain, Have I cleansed my heart, And bathed in pureness, my hands;

But my heart had grown embittered, And, in my reins, had I received wounds;

Failed have my flesh and my heart, The rock of my heart - and my portion, is God unto times age-abiding.

They have said in their heart, Let us suppress them altogether, They have burned up all the meeting-places of GOD in the land.

The valiant of heart have become a spoil, They have slumbered their sleep, And none of the men of might have found their hands.

Out of the heavens, didst thou cause judgment to be heard, Earth, feared and was still:

I remember my song in the night, - With my own heart, I commune, And my spirit, maketh search: -

Which we have heard, and come to know, And, our fathers, have recounted to us;
