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:

I, laid me down and slept, - I awoke, Surely, Yahweh, sustaineth me!

Multitudes, are saying, Who will show us prosperity? Lift thou upon us the light of thy countenance, O Yahweh.

O Yahweh! lead me in thy righteousness, because of mine adversaries, Make even, before me, thy way:

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.

Out of the mouth of children and sucklings, hast thou laid a foundation of strength, - because of thine adversaries, to make foe and avenger be still.

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!

Have regard! answer me O Yahweh my God, - Light up mine eyes, lest I sleep on into death:

Yahweh, is mine allotted portion and my cup, Thou, art maintaining my lot.

Hear, O Yahweh, the right, Attend to my loud cry, Give ear unto my prayer, on lips that would not deceive:

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

For, thou, didst light up my lamp, Yahweh my God, enlightened my darkness;

My GOD, my GOD, why hast thou forsaken me? Far from saving me, The words of my loud lamentation?

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.

Yahweh, is my light and my salvation, Of whom shall I be afraid? Yahweh, is the refuge of my life, Of whom shall I be in dread?

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:

Because, my mountain crag and my stronghold, thou art, Therefore, for the sake of thine own Name, wilt thou lead me and guide 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.

Sing unto him, a song that is new, With skill, sweep the strings, with loud noise.

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.

For, with thee, is the fountain of life, In thy light, we see light.

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

So will he bring forth, as the light, thy righteousness, and thy vindication as the noonday.

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

Yea they who are seeking my life, have laid snares, and they who are asking my harm, have threatened engulfing ruin, And, deceitful things - all day long, do they mutter.

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.

These things, I keep calling to mind, and pouring out, over me, my own soul, For I used to cross over with a crowd, Lead them in procession up to the house of God, With the voice of shouting and praise. - a throng keeping festival.

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

For, not by their own sword, gat they possession of the land, Nor did, their own arm, win victory for them, - But thine own right hand, and thine own arm, and the light of thy face, Because thou hadst accepted them.

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.

He shall enter as far as the circle of his fathers, Nevermore, shall they see the light.

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.

Cast upon Yahweh thy lot, and, he, will sustain thee: He will not suffer, to times age-abiding, the righteous one to be shaken.

For thou hast rescued my soul from death, Wilt thou not rescue my feet from stumbling? That I may walk to and fro, before God, In the light of life.

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.

Who will conduct me to fortified city? Who will lead me as far as Edom!

Hear, O God, my loud cry, Attend unto my prayer:

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.

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

My soul hath run clinging to thee, On me, hath thy right hand laid hold.

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 bring us into the hunter's net, Thou didst lay a load upon our loins;

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

Races of men, will be glad and shout for joy, Because thou wilt judge peoples with equity, And, races of men throughout the earth, thou wilt lead. Selah.

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:

Thou hast ascended on high, Thou hast led in procession a body of captives, Thou hast received gifts consisting of men, Yea even the rebellious, That, Yah, Elohim, might settle down to rest.

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:
