The law of Yahweh [is] perfect, reviving life. The testimony of Yahweh [is] firm, making wise [the] simple.

In grassy pastures he makes me lie down; by quiet waters he leads me.

The law of his God [is] in his heart. His steps will not slip.

Those who seek my life lay snares as well, and those intent on my harm speak threats. They also plot deceit all day.

Blessed [is] the man who makes Yahweh his trust and does not turn to [the] proud and [to those who] fall away [to] a lie.

'I delight to do your will, O my God, and your law [is] {deep within me}.'"

both low and high, rich and poor together.

You love evil more than good, a lie more than speaking {what is right}. Selah

They attack, they hide, they watch my {steps}, as they [lie in] wait for my life.

My soul [is] among lions. I lie down [among those who] devour-- the children of humankind whose teeth [are] spears and arrows and whose tongues [are] sharp swords.

For look, they lie in wait for my life. The mighty attack against me, not [because of] my transgression or my sin, O Yahweh.

Only a vapor [are] men of low degree, a deception [are] men of high degree. {Weighed} in a balance, together they [are lighter] than a vapor.

Though you [men] lie down between the sheepfolds, [you will be like the] wings of a dove covered in silver and its pinions in yellow gold."

rather God [is the] judge; one he brings low, and another he lifts up.

For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our ancestors to teach to their children,

They did not keep the covenant of God and refused to go in his law.

Do not remember against us former iniquities; let your mercies meet us quickly because we are brought very low.

Even a bird finds a home, and a swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, near your altars, O Yahweh [of] hosts, my king and my God.

If his sons forsake my law and do not walk in my judgments,

Once I have sworn by my holiness, 'I will surely not lie to David,

Blessed [is] the man, O Yah, whom you instruct and teach from your law,

I lie awake and I am like a lone bird on a roof.

[When] the sun rises, they gather together and lie down in their dens.

Many times he delivered them, but they rebelled in their counsel, and were brought low by their iniquity.

Yahweh watches over [the] simple. I was brought low, but he gave me victory.

Blessed [are those whose] way is blameless, who walk in the law of Yahweh.

Uncover my eyes, that I may look at wonderful things from your law.

Remove from me [the] deceptive way, and graciously give me your law.

Give me understanding, that I may keep your law and heed it with [my] whole heart.

So I will heed your law continually, forever and ever.

[The] arrogant utterly deride me; I have not turned aside from your law.

Rage seizes me because of [the] wicked, those who forsake your law.

I remember your name in the night, O Yahweh, and I heed your law.

[The] cords of [the] wicked surround me, [but] I do not forget your law.

Their heart [is] insensitive like fat; As for me, I take delight in your law.

The law of your mouth [is] better to me than thousands of gold and silver [coins].

Let your mercies come [to] me, that I may live, for your law [is] my delight.

[The] arrogant have dug pits for me, which [is] not according to your law.

Unless your law [had been] my delight, then I would have perished in my misery.

For me [the] wicked [lie in] wait to destroy me. I give attention to your testimonies.

How I love your law! The whole day it [is] my meditation.

My life [is] {in danger} continually, yet I do not forget your law.

I hate {the double-minded}, but I love your law.

[It is] time for Yahweh to act, [for] they have broken your law.

Streams of water flow down [from] my eyes, because [people] do not heed your law.

Your righteousness [is] an everlasting righteousness, and your law [is] truth.

[Those who] pursue a [wicked] purpose draw near; they are far from your law.

See my misery and rescue me, for I do not forget your law.

I hate and abhor falsehood; I love your law.

Great peace [is] for those who love your law, and they do not have a cause for stumbling.

I long for your salvation, O Yahweh, and your law [is] my delight.

Who remembered us in our low estate, for his loyal love [endures] forever.

Remember, O Yahweh, against the sons of Edom the day of Jerusalem, the ones who said, "Lay [it] bare! Lay [it] bare to its foundation!"

But my eyes [are] toward you, O Yahweh, my Lord; I have taken refuge in you. Do not lay bare my soul.

Attend to my cry, for I am brought very low. Deliver me from my pursuers, for they are stronger than I.
