And now, O kings, act wisely, Be instructed, O judges of earth,

Many are saying of my soul, 'There is no salvation for him in God.' Selah.

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

For there is no stability in their mouth. Their heart is mischiefs, An open grave is their throat, Their tongue they make smooth.

Lest he tear as a lion my soul, Rending, and there is no deliverer.

They trust in Thee who do know Thy name, For Thou hast not forsaken Those seeking Thee, O Jehovah.

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

To judge the fatherless and bruised: He addeth no more to oppress -- man of the earth!

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.

Thou causest me to know the path of life; Fulness of joys is with Thy presence, Pleasant things by Thy right hand for ever!

Our steps now have compassed him;' Their eyes they set to turn aside in the land.

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

There is no speech, and there are no words. Their voice hath not been heard.

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.

My God, I call by day, and Thou answerest not, And by night, and there is no silence to me.

And I am a worm, and no man, A reproach of man, and despised of the people.

Be not far from me, For adversity is near, for there is no helper.

Also -- when I walk in a valley of death-shade, I fear no evil, for Thou art with me, Thy rod and Thy staff -- they comfort me.

Thy ways, O Jehovah, cause me to know, Thy paths teach Thou me.

The secret of Jehovah is for those fearing Him, And His covenant -- to cause them to know.

And now, lifted up is my head, Above my enemies -- my surrounders, And I sacrifice in His tent sacrifices of shouting, I sing, yea, I sing praise to Jehovah.

O the happiness of a man, To whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit.

My sin I cause Thee to know, And mine iniquity I have not covered. I have said, 'I confess concerning My transgressions to Jehovah,' And Thou -- Thou hast taken away, The iniquity of my sin. Selah.

Sing ye to Him a new song, Play skilfully with shouting.

Fear Jehovah, ye His holy ones, For there is no lack to those fearing Him.

Yea, I am as a man who heareth not, And in his mouth are no reproofs.

Cause me to know, O Jehovah, mine end, And the measure of my days -- what it is,' I know how frail I am.

And, now, what have I expected? O Lord, my hope -- it is of Thee.

And He putteth in my mouth a new song, 'Praise to our God.' Many do see and fear, and trust in Jehovah.

Desist, and know that I am God, I am exalted among nations, I am exalted in the earth.

A brother doth no one at all ransom, He doth not give to God his atonement.

Understand this, I pray you, Ye who are forgetting God, Lest I tear, and there is no deliverer.

For my transgressions I do know, And my sin is before me continually.

Lo, truth Thou hast desired in the inward parts, And in the hidden part Wisdom Thou causest me to know.

To the Overseer. -- 'On a disease.' -- An instruction, by David. A fool said in his heart, 'There is no God.' They have done corruptly, Yea, they have done abominable iniquity, There is none doing good.

There they feared a fear -- there was no fear, For God hath scattered the bones of him Who is encamping against thee, Thou hast put to shame, For God hath despised them.

God doth hear and afflict them, And He sitteth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, and fear not God,

Consume in fury, consume and they are not, And they know that God is ruling in Jacob, To the ends of the earth. Selah.

I have sunk in deep mire, And there is no standing, I have come into the depths of the waters, And a flood hath overflown me.

Their tower is desolated, In their tents there is no dweller.

Saying, 'God hath forsaken him, Pursue and catch him, for there is no deliverer.'

For he delivereth the needy who crieth, And the poor when he hath no helper,

The peace of the wicked I see, That there are no bands at their death,

And I think to know this, Perverseness it is in mine eyes,

And I am brutish, and do not know. A beast I have been with Thee.

And now, its carvings together With axe and hatchet they break down,

Our ensigns we have not seen, There is no more a prophet, Nor with us is one knowing how long.

To the ages doth the Lord cast off? Doth He add to be pleased no more?

That we have heard and do know, And our fathers have recounted to us.

So that a later generation doth know, Sons who are born, do rise and recount to their sons,

Blow in the month a trumpet, In the new moon, at the day of our festival,

They knew not, nor do they understand, In darkness they walk habitually, Moved are all the foundations of earth.

A Song, -- A Psalm of Asaph. O God, let there be no silence to Thee, Be not silent, nor be quiet, O God.

And they know that Thou -- (Thy name is Jehovah -- by Thyself,) Art the Most High over all the earth!

To number our days aright let us know, And we bring the heart to wisdom.

There fall at thy side a thousand, And a myriad at thy right hand, Unto thee it cometh not nigh.

A brutish man doth not know, And a fool understandeth not this; --

To declare that upright is Jehovah my rock, And there is no perverseness in Him!

Sing to Jehovah a new song, Sing to Jehovah all the earth.

A Psalm. Sing ye to Jehovah a new song, For wonders He hath done, Given salvation to Him hath His right hand and His holy arm.

Know that Jehovah He is God, He made us, and we are His, His people -- and the flock of His pasture.

A perverse heart turneth aside from me, Wickedness I know not.

Consumed are sinners from the earth, And the wicked are no more. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah. Praise ye Jehovah!

And He humbleth with labour their heart, They have been feeble, and there is no helper.

All food doth their soul abominate, And they come nigh unto the gates of death,

He is pouring contempt upon nobles, And causeth them to wander in vacancy -- no way.

And they know that this is Thy hand, Thou, O Jehovah, Thou hast done it.

Before I am afflicted, I -- I am erring, And now Thy saying I have kept.

Thy servant am I -- cause me to understand, And I know Thy testimonies.

Abundant peace have those loving Thy law, And they have no stumbling-block.

Ears they have, and they give not ear, Nose -- there is no breath in their mouth!

Search me, O God, and know my heart, Try me, and know my thoughts,

And enter not into judgment with Thy servant, For no one living is justified before Thee.

Cause me to hear in the morning Thy kindness, For in Thee I have trusted, Cause me to know the way that I go, For unto Thee I have lifted up my soul.

O God, a new song I sing to Thee, On a psaltery of ten strings I sing praise to Thee.

Our oxen are carrying, there is no breach, And there is no outgoing, And there is no crying in our broad places.

Great is Jehovah, and praised greatly, And of His greatness there is no searching.

Trust not in princes -- in a son of man, For he hath no deliverance.

Great is our Lord, and abundant in power, Of His understanding there is no narration.

Praise ye Jah! Sing ye to Jehovah a new song, His praise in an assembly of saints.
