But -- in the law of Jehovah is his delight, And in His law he doth meditate by day and by night:

For Jehovah is knowing the way of the righteous, And the way of the wicked is lost!

Station themselves do kings of the earth, And princes have been united together, Against Jehovah, and against His Messiah:

He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; Jehovah shall mock at them.

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

Serve ye Jehovah with fear, And rejoice with trembling.

My voice is unto Jehovah: I call: And He answereth me from his holy hill, Selah.

I -- I have lain down, and I sleep, I have waked, for Jehovah sustaineth me.

Rise, O Jehovah! save me, my God. Because Thou hast smitten All mine enemies on the cheek. The teeth of the wicked Thou hast broken.

Of Jehovah is this salvation; On Thy people is Thy blessing! Selah.

And know ye that Jehovah Hath separated a saintly one to Himself. Jehovah heareth in my calling to Him.

Sacrifice ye sacrifices of righteousness, And trust ye unto Jehovah.

In peace together I lie down and sleep, For Thou, O Jehovah, alone, In confidence dost cause me to dwell!

To the Overseer, 'Concerning the Inheritances.' -- A Psalm of David. My sayings hear, O Jehovah, Consider my meditation.

Jehovah, at morning Thou hearest my voice, At morning I set in array for Thee, And I look out.

Thou destroyest those speaking lies, A man of blood and deceit Jehovah doth abominate.

O Jehovah, lead me in Thy righteousness, Because of those observing me, Make straight before me Thy way,

For Thou blessest the righteous, O Jehovah, As a buckler with favour dost compass him!

To the Overseer with stringed instruments, on the octave. -- A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, in Thine anger reprove me not, Nor in Thy fury chastise me.

Favour me, O Jehovah, for I am weak, Heal me, O Jehovah, For troubled have been my bones,

And my soul hath been troubled greatly, And Thou, O Jehovah, till when?

Turn back, O Jehovah, draw out my soul, Save me for Thy kindness' sake.

Turn from me all ye workers of iniquity, For Jehovah heard the voice of my weeping,

Jehovah hath heard my supplication, Jehovah my prayer receiveth.

'The Erring One,' by David, that he sung to Jehovah concerning the words of Cush a Benjamite. O Jehovah, my God, in Thee I have trusted, Save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me.

Rise, O Jehovah, in Thine anger, Be lifted up at the wrath of mine adversaries, And awake Thou for me: Judgment Thou hast commanded:

Jehovah doth judge the peoples; Judge me, O Jehovah, According to my righteousness, And according to mine integrity on me,

I thank Jehovah, According to His righteousness, And praise the name of Jehovah Most High!

Sing ye praise to Jehovah, inhabiting Zion, Declare ye among the peoples His acts,

Favour me, O Jehovah, See mine affliction by those hating me, Thou who liftest me up from the gates of death,

Jehovah hath been known, Judgment He hath done, By a work of his hands Hath the wicked been snared. Meditation. Selah.

Rise, O Jehovah, let not man be strong, Let nations be judged before Thy face.

Appoint, O Jehovah, a director to them, Let nations know they are men! Selah.

Why, Jehovah, dost Thou stand at a distance? Thou dost hide in times of adversity,

Because the wicked hath boasted Of the desire of his soul, And a dishonest gainer he hath blessed, He hath despised Jehovah.

Arise, O Jehovah! O God, lift up Thy hand! Forget not the humble.

Jehovah is king to the age, and for ever, The nations have perished out of His land!

The desire of the humble Thou hast heard, O Jehovah. Thou preparest their heart; Thou causest Thine ear to attend,

To the Overseer. -- By David. In Jehovah I trusted, how say ye to my soul, 'They moved to Thy mountain for the bird?

Jehovah is in his holy temple: Jehovah -- in the heavens is His throne. His eyes see -- His eyelids try the sons of men.

For righteous is Jehovah, Righteousness He hath loved, The upright doth His countenance see!'

To the Overseer, on the octave. -- A Psalm of David. Save, Jehovah, for the saintly hath failed, For the stedfast have ceased From the sons of men:

Because of the spoiling of the poor, Because of the groaning of the needy, Now do I arise, saith Jehovah, I set in safety him who doth breathe for it.

Look upon, answer me, O Jehovah my God: enlighten mine eyes, lest I shall sleep the death;

I do sing to Jehovah, For He hath conferred benefits upon me!

To the Overseer. -- By a servant of Jehovah, by David, who hath spoken to Jehovah the words of this song in the day Jehovah delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul, and he saith: -- I love Thee, O Jehovah, my strength.

Jehovah is my rock, and my bulwark, And my deliverer, My God is my rock, I trust in Him: My shield, and a horn of my salvation, My high tower.

The 'Praised One' I call Jehovah, And from my enemies I am saved.

In mine adversity I call Jehovah, And unto my God I cry. He heareth from His temple my voice, And My cry before Him cometh into His ears.

And thunder in the heavens doth Jehovah, And the Most High giveth forth His voice, Hail and coals of fire.

And seen are the streams of waters, And revealed are foundations of the earth. From Thy rebuke, O Jehovah, From the breath of the spirit of Thine anger.

They go before me in a day of my calamity And Jehovah is for a support to me.

Jehovah doth recompense me According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, He doth return to me.

For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not done wickedly against my God.

And Jehovah doth return to me, According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, Over-against his eyes.

For Thou -- Thou lightest my lamp, Jehovah my God enlighteneth my darkness.

God! perfect is His way, The saying of Jehovah is tried, A shield is He to all those trusting in Him.

For who is God besides Jehovah? And who is a rock save our God?

They cry, and there is no saviour, On Jehovah, and He doth not answer them.

Jehovah liveth -- and blessed is my rock, And exalted is the God of my salvation.

Therefore I confess Thee among nations, O Jehovah, And to Thy name I sing praise,

The law of Jehovah is perfect, refreshing the soul, The testimonies of Jehovah are stedfast, Making wise the simple,

The precepts of Jehovah are upright, Rejoicing the heart, The command of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes,

The fear of Jehovah is clean, standing to the age, The judgments of Jehovah are true, They have been righteous -- together.

Let the sayings of my mouth, And the meditation of my heart, Be for a pleasing thing before Thee, O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer!

To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. Jehovah doth answer thee, In a day of adversity, The name of the God of Jacob doth set thee on high,

We sing of thy salvation, And in the name of our God set up a banner. Jehovah doth fulfil all thy requests.

Now I have known That Jehovah hath saved His anointed, He answereth him from His holy heavens, With the saving might of His right hand.

Some of chariots, and some of horses, And we of the name of Jehovah our God Make mention.

O Jehovah, save the king, He doth answer us in the day we call!
