Let us break asunder their bonds, - and cast from us their cords!

Let me tell of a decree, - Yahweh, hath said unto me, My son, thou art, I, to-day, have begotten thee:

Ask of me, and let me give nations as thine inheritance, and, as thy possession, the ends of the earth:

Declare them guilty, O God, Let them fall by their own counsels, - Into the throng of their own transgressions, thrust them down, For they have rebelled against thee: -

Let all my foes, turn pale and be greatly dismayed, Again let them turn pale in a moment.

Let an enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it, that he may tread down, to the earth, my life, - and, mine honour - in the dust, he may cause to dwell. Selah.

Let the wrong of the lawless, I pray thee, come to an end, and establish thou him that is righteous, - for, a trier of hearts and reins, is God the righteous one.

Thus let them who know thy Name, put confidence in thee, that thou hast not forsaken the searchers for thee, O Yahweh.

Rise! Yahweh! let man not prevail, let the nations be judged before thee.

Appoint, O Yahweh, a terror for them, - Let the nations know that they are men. Selah.

In the pride of the lawless one, he hotly pursueth the poor, let them be caught in the plots which they have devised!

Because of violence done to the poor, because of the crying of the needy, Now, will I arise! O may Yahweh say, - I will place him in safety - let him puff at him!

Let thy lovingkindness be distinguished, thou Saviour of such as seek refuge from them who lift themselves up against thy right hand.

He should trust in Yahweh - let him deliver him, - Let him rescue him, seeing he delighteth in him.

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

O my God, in thee, have I put my trust, Let me not be put to shame, Let not my foe exult over me:

Yea let, none who wait for thee, be put to shame, Let them be put to shame who act covertly without cause!

Thy ways, O Yahweh, let me know, Thy paths, teach thou me:

Who then is the man that revereth Yahweh? Let him direct him into the way he should choose.

Oh keep my soul, and rescue me, Let me not be put to shame, for I have sought refuge in thee.

Let, blamelessness and uprightness, watch over me, because I have waited for thee.

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

In thee, O Yahweh, have I sought refuge, Let me not be ashamed to times age-abiding, In thy righteousness, deliver me:

O Yahweh! let me not be ashamed, For I have called upon thee, Let the lawless ha ashamed, go down in silence to hades!

Let false lips be made dumb, - which are speaking - against a righteous one - arrogantly, with pride and contempt.

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

Let all the earth, stand in awe of Yahweh, Of him, be in dread, all ye inhabitants of the world;

Let me bless Yahweh at all times, Continually be his praise in my mouth.

Ascribe ye greatness unto Yahweh with me, and let us exalt his Name together.

They looked unto him and were radiant, And, as for their faces, let them not be abashed.

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 be as chaff before the wind, with, the messenger of Yahweh, pressing them on:

Let their way become dark and slippery, with, the messenger of Yahweh, pursuing them.

Let not them who are falsely my foes rejoice over me, As for them who hate me without cause, let them not wink the eye!

Vindicate me according to thy righteousness, O Yahweh, my God! And let them not rejoice over me:

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

Let them turn pale, and then at once blush, who are rejoicing at my misfortune, - Let them be clothed with shame and confusion, who are magnifying themselves against me.

Let them shout in triumph and rejoice, who are desiring my justification; And let them say continually, Yahweh be magnified, Who hath taken pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

Let not the foot of pride reach me, nor, the hand of the lawless, scare me away.

Let me know, O Yahweh, mine end, And the measure of my days - what it is, I would know how short-lived I am.

Let them turn pale and then at once blush, who are seeking my life to snatch it away, - Let them draw back, and be confounded, who are taking pleasure in my calamity;

Let them be astonished on account of their own shame, who are saying of me, Aha! Aha!

Let all them be glad and rejoice in thee, who are seekers of thee. Let them say continually - Yahweh be magnified! who are lovers of thy salvation.

Send forth thy light and thy faithfulness, Let, them, lead me, Let them bring me into thy holy mountain, and into thy habitations:

And, in thy majesty, be successful! ride forth! on behalf of faithfulness, and humility - righteousness, And let thine own right hand show thee wonderful things.

Let be! and know that, I, am God, I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.

Let Mount Zion rejoice, Let the daughters of Judah exult, Because of thy judgments.

Let our God come, and let him not keep silence! A fire - before him, shall devour, And, around him, hath it become exceeding tempestuous:

Let him turn back the mischief upon mine adversaries, In thy faithfulness, destroy them!

Because of the noise of the enemy, By reason of the oppression of the lawless one, For they would let trouble drop upon me, And, in anger, would they entrap me.

Desolations on them! Let them go down into hades alive, For, wicked doings, are at home within them.

Let such men flow away like waters that disperse themselves: He prepareth his arrow, Like grass let them be cut down:

My God of lovingkindness, will come to meet me, God, will let me look on mine adversaries.

The sin of their mouth, The word of their lips, Let them then be captured in their pride, Both for the oath and for the deception they record.

Yet them return, then, at evening, Let them growl like a dog, And go round the city.

They, may prowl about for food, - And, if they are not satisfied, then let them whine!

Thou hast suffered thy people to see hardship, Thou hast let them drink the wine of confusion.

Let him retain his seat age-abidingly before God, Appoint that, lovingkindness and faithfulness, my watch over him!

Once let God have shot at them an arrow, Suddenly have appeared their own wounds!

Who ruleth, in his might, unto times age abiding, His eyes, over the nations, keep watch, The rebellious, let them not exalt themselves. Selah.

Thou didst let men ride at our head; We went into fire and into water, But thou didst bring us forth into freedom.

Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered, Yea let them that hate him flee before him:

As smoke is driven about, Let them be driven about, - As wax is melted before a fire, Let the lawless perish before God.

But let, the righteous, be glad, let them exult before God, Yea let them rejoice with gladness.

Let, My Lord, but give the word, The herald bands, will be a mighty host:

Let them not be ashamed, through me, Who have waited for thee, O My Lord, Yahweh of hosts, - Let them not be confounded, through me, Who are seeking thee, O God of Israel!

Rescue me out of the mire, lest I sink, Let me be rescued, From my haters, and, From abysses of waters:

Let not a flood of waters overflow me, And let not the depth swallow me up, Neither let the well close, over me, her mouth.

Let their table, before them, become a snare, And unto their friends, a lure;

Let their eyes become too dim to see, And, their loins, continually cause thou to shake;

Pour out over them thine indignation, And let, the glow of thine anger, overtake them:

Let their encampment become desolate, In their tents, be there none to dwell:

Lay punishment on their iniquity, And let them not enter into thy righteousness;

Let them be blotted out of the book of life, And, with the righteous, let them not be enrolled.

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

Let the heavens and the earth, praise him, The seas, and everything that creepeth therein.

Let them turn pale and then at once blush, Who are seeking my life, - Let them draw back, and be confounded, Who are taking pleasure in my misfortune;

Let them turn back, on account of their own shame, Who are saying, Aha! Aha!

Let all them be glad and rejoice in thee, Yea, let them, who are seekers of thee, - say continually, God be magnified! Who are lovers of thy salvation.

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

Thou who hast let us see many distresses and misfortunes, Wilt gain bring us to life, And, out of the resounding depths of the earth, wilt again raise us up;

Let men revere thee, With the sun, And in presence of the moon, Unto the remotest generation.

Let him come down, Like rain on fields to be mown, Like myriad drops on land to be reaped.

So let him have dominion, From sea to sea, And from the River unto the ends of the earth;

Before him, let the men of the desert kneel, But, as for his foes, the dust, let them lick;

The kings of Tarshish and of the Coastlands, A gift, let them render, The kings of Sheba and Seba, A present, let them bring;

Yea let all kings, bow down unto him, Let, all nations, serve him;

Let him live, then! And be there given unto him of the gold of Sheba, - Let prayer also be offered for him continually, All the day, let him be blessed.

May there be an abundance of corn in the earth, in the top of the mountains, - Let the fruit thereof, wave like Lebanon, And they of the city bloom like the fresh shoots of the earth.

May his Name he age-abiding, In the presence of the sun, let his Name flourish, - And may all the families of the ground bless themselves in him, All nations, pronounce him happy!

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

May the crushed one not again be confounded, As for the oppressed and the needy, let them praise thy Name.

Vow and pay, unto Yahweh your God, - Let, all who are round about him, bear along a gift unto him who is to be revered.

He used to cleave rocks in the desert, And let them drink as out of mighty deeps;

He let loose an east wind in the heavens, Then guided he, in his might, a south wind;

And let them fall in the midst of their camp, - Round about their habitations.

Do not remember against us former iniquities, - Haste thee, let thy compassions, come to meet us, For we have been brought very low!

Wherefore should the nations say - Where is their God? Let him be known among the nations before our eyes! Yea! By the avenging of the blood of thy servants which hath been shed!

Let the groaning of the prisoner, come in before thee, - According to the greatness of thine arm, Set free them who are appointed to death.

Let thy hand be, Upon the Man of thy right hand, Upon the Son of Man thou didst secure for thyself;
