"But as for me, I have set my king on Zion, my holy mountain."

I will tell the decree; Yahweh said to me: "You are my son; today I have begotten you.

Ask from me and I will make [the] nations your heritage, and your possession [the] ends of [the] earth.

Yahweh, how many are my enemies; many [are] rising against me.

Many [are] saying about my soul, "There is no deliverance for him from God. Selah

But you, Yahweh, [are] a shield around me, my glory and the one who lifts up my head.

[With] my voice I call to Yahweh and he answers me from {his holy hill}. Selah

I lay down and slept; I woke up because Yahweh sustains me.

I am not afraid of the ten thousands of people who all around have set themselves against me.

Rise up, O Yahweh; deliver me, O my God; for you strike all my enemies [on the] cheek. [The] teeth of [the] wicked you break.

To Yahweh belongs deliverance; [may] your blessing [be] over your people. Selah

When I call, answer me, O God of my righteousness. In trouble {deliver me}. Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.

O sons of man, how long will my honor be a disgrace? [How long] will you love vanity? [How long] will you seek lies? Selah

You have put gladness in my heart more than {when} their grain and their wine abound.

In peace I will lie down and sleep {at once}, for you alone, O Yahweh, make me dwell safely.

Hear my words, O Yahweh. Give heed to my sighing.

Listen to the sound of my pleading, my king and my God, for to you I pray.

O Yahweh, in [the] morning you will hear my voice. In [the] morning I will set forth [my case] to you and I will watch.

{But as for me}, through the abundance of your steadfast love I will enter your house. I will bow down toward {your holy temple} in awe [of] you.

O Yahweh, lead me in your righteousness because of my enemies; make straight before me your way.

O Yahweh, do not rebuke me in your anger, and do not discipline me in your wrath.

Be gracious to me, O Yahweh, because I am feeble. Heal me, O Yahweh, for my bones are terrified.

My soul is also very terrified. But you, O Yahweh, how long?

Turn, O Yahweh; deliver my life. Save me for the sake of your steadfast love.

I am weary with my groaning; {I flood} my bed every night. With my tears {I drench} my couch.

My eye wastes away because of vexation; it grows old because of all my oppressors.

Depart from me, all workers of evil, for Yahweh has heard the sound of my weeping.

Yahweh has heard my plea; Yahweh has accepted my prayer.

All my enemies shall be ashamed and shall be very terrified. They shall turn back; they shall suddenly be ashamed.

O Yahweh, my God, in you I have taken refuge. Save me from all [who] pursue me, and deliver me.

Or else he will tear me apart like a lion, ripping to pieces, with none [to] deliver.

O Yahweh, my God, if I have done this, if there is wrong in my hands,

if I have repaid {my ally} [with] harm, or [if] I have plundered my enemy without cause,

let the enemy of my soul pursue, and overtake and trample my life into the ground, and lay my honor in the dust. Selah

Rise up, O Yahweh, in your anger, and lift yourself up against the wrath of my oppressors, and awake for me, since you have commanded judgment.

Yahweh judges the nations. O Yahweh, vindicate me according to my innocence and according to my integrity within me.

My shield [is] with God who saves the upright of heart.

I will thank Yahweh with all my heart. I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.

When my enemies turn back, they will stumble and perish because of your presence.

For you have maintained my just cause; you have sat on [the] throne judging correctly.

Be gracious to me, O Yahweh. See my suffering from [those who] hate me, [you who] lift me up from the gates of death,

so that I may tell of all your praises. In the gates of the daughter of Zion let me rejoice in your salvation.

Why does the wicked treat God with contempt? He says in his heart, "You will not call [me] to account."

In Yahweh I have taken refuge; how can you say to my soul, "Flee to your mountain [like] a bird"?

May Yahweh cut off all flattering lips, [the] tongue speaking great boasts--

How long, O Yahweh? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

How long must I take counsel in my soul, [and] sorrow in my heart [all the] day? How long will my enemy be exalted over me?

Consider [and] answer me, O Yahweh my God. Give light to my eyes lest I sleep [the sleep of] death,

[and] lest my enemy should say, "I have overcome him," [lest] my enemies rejoice because I am shaken.

But as for me, I have trusted in your steadfast love. My heart will rejoice in your deliverance.

I will sing to Yahweh because he has dealt bountifully with me.

All who do evil--do they not know, [they] who eat my people [as though] they were eating bread? They do not call on Yahweh.

O Yahweh, who may reside in your tent? Who may dwell on your holy mountain?

Protect me, O God, for I take refuge in you.

[Oh my soul] you have said to Yahweh, "You [are] my Lord. I have no good apart from you."

With regard to [the] saints who [are] in the land, they [are the] noble ones in [whom is] all my desire.

Those [who] hurry [after] another [god] increase their sorrows. I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood, nor take up their names on my lips.

Yahweh [is] the portion [which is] my share and my cup. You hold my lot.

[The] measuring lines have fallen for me in pleasant places. Yes, [my] inheritance is delightful for me.

I will bless Yahweh who advises me; yes, [at] night my {innermost being} instructs me.

I have set Yahweh before me always. Because [he is] at my right hand I will not be shaken.

Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices. Yes, my body will dwell in safety,

for you will not abandon my soul to Sheol; you will not give your faithful one to see [the] grave.

You will make known to me [the] path of life. In your presence [is] fullness of joy. At your right hand [are] pleasures forever.

O Yahweh, hear a just cause. Hear my cry; heed my prayer [I make] without deceitful lips.

Let my vindication come forth from you; let your eyes see fairness.

You have tried my heart; you have examined [me] by night; you have tested me; you found nothing. I have decided [that] my mouth will not transgress.

[I have] held my steps in your path My feet will not slip.

As for me, I have called on you because you will answer me, O God. Incline your ear to me. Hear my words.

Keep me as {the apple of your eye}. Hide me in the shadow of your wings

from [the] {presence} of [the] wicked who destroy me, [those] enemies against my life, [they that] surround me.

Now they surround us at our [every] step. They {intend} {to pin} [me] to the ground.

Rise up, O Yahweh, confront {him}. Make him bow down. Rescue with your sword my life from [the] wicked,

And he said: "I love you, O Yahweh, my strength."

Yahweh [is] my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock in whom I have taken refuge, my shield and the horn of my deliverance, my stronghold.

I called upon Yahweh, who is worthy to be praised, and I was saved from my enemies.

The ropes of death encircled me, and streams of ruin overwhelmed me.

The ropes of Sheol surrounded me; [the] snares of death confronted me.

In my trouble I called on Yahweh, and to my God I cried for help. He heard my voice from his temple, and my cry for help came up before his presence into his ears.

He reached from on high; he seized me. He drew me from many waters.

He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from [those who] hated me because they were stronger than I.

They confronted me on the day of disaster, but Yahweh was my support.

So he brought me out to a spacious place. He delivered me because he delighted in me.

Yahweh has rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands he has repaid me.

Because I have kept the ways of Yahweh, and have not acted wickedly against my God,

because all his ordinances [are] before me, and his statutes I have not removed from me,

and I was blameless before him, and I kept myself from my guilt.

Therefore Yahweh has repaid me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.

For you light my lamp; Yahweh, my God, lights up my darkness.

For with you I can charge a troop, and with my God I can scale a wall.

The God who girded me [with] strength, and made safe my way,

he made my feet like the deer's, and on my high places he makes me stand.

[He] trains my hands for war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

You also gave me the shield of your salvation, and your right hand supported me, and your humility made me great.

You enlarged my step under me, and my ankles did not slip.

I chased my enemies and overtook them; I did not turn back until they were finished [off].

I struck them and they were not able to stand up; they fell under my feet.

And you girded me [with] strength for the battle; [those] rising against me you made to kneel under me.

And you {made my enemies turn their backs}, then I destroyed those [who] hated me.

You rescued me from strife with people; you set me as head (over) nations. People I did not know served me;
