And so, he is like a tree planted by streams of water that gives its fruit in its season; its leaf also does not wither. Therefore all that he does prospers.

So then, O kings, be wise. Be warned, O rulers of [the] earth.

Kiss the Son lest he be angry and you perish [on the] way, for his anger burns quickly. Blessed are all [who] take refuge in him.

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

Be disturbed but do not sin. Commune in your heart on your bed and be silent. Selah

{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.

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

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

If he does not repent, he will sharpen his sword. He has bent his bow and he has {strung} it.

I will be glad and rejoice in you. I will sing [the praise of] your name, O Most High.

And Yahweh will be a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of distress.

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

Yahweh has made himself known; he has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his hands. Higgaion Selah

for [the] needy shall not always be forgotten; the hope of the poor shall never perish.

Rise up, O Yahweh, let not humans prevail; let [the] nations be judged before you.

In arrogance [the] wicked persecutes [the] poor. Let them be caught in [the] schemes that they devised,

He says in his heart, "I shall not be moved {throughout all generations}, [during] which [I will have] no trouble."

He lies in ambush {secretly,} like a lion in a thicket. He lies in ambush to seize [the] poor; he seizes [the] poor by catching him in his net.

He is crushed; he is bowed down; so the helpless host falls by his {might}.

For look: The wicked {string the bow}. They have fitted their arrow to [the] string, to shoot from [the] darkness at the upright of heart.

He will rain coals on [the] wicked. Burning sulfur and scorching wind [will be] the portion of their cup.

Save, O Yahweh, for [the] pious have ceased [to be]; for [the] faithful have vanished from [among the] children of humankind.

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?

{Oh that from Zion} [would come] salvation [for] Israel! When Yahweh returns the fortunes of his people, Jacob will rejoice; Israel will be happy.

He does not lend his money at interest, and does not take a bribe against [the] innocent. He who does these [things] will never be shaken.

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

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.

As for [the] works of humankind, by the word of your lips, I have kept [from] the ways of [the] violent.

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

from men by your hand, O Yahweh, from men of [this] world. Their share [is] in {this life}, and you fill their stomach [with] your treasure. They are satisfied [with] children. They bequeath their excess to their children.

[By contrast,] I in righteousness shall see your face. Upon awakening I will be satisfied [seeing] your form.

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

Then the channels of [the] sea became visible, and [the] foundations of [the] world were uncovered by your rebuke, O Yahweh, by the {blast} of the wind of your nose.

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

Yahweh lives, and blessed [be] my rock, and may the God of my salvation be exalted--

Moreover, your servant [is] warned by them; in keeping them [is] great reward.

Also, keep back your servant from arrogant [sins]; let them not rule over me. Then I shall be blameless, and I shall be innocent of great transgression.

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your presence, O Yahweh, my rock and my redeemer.

Because the king trusts Yahweh, and through the steadfast love of the Most High he shall not be moved.

Be exalted, O Yahweh, in your strength, and we sing and praise your power.

O my God, I call by day and you do not answer, and [by] night but I have no rest.

But I [am] a worm and not a man, scorned by humankind and despised by people.

Do not be far from me because trouble [is] near; because there is no helper.

You who revere Yahweh, praise him! Glorify him, all [you] seed of Jacob, and be in awe of him, all [you] seed of Israel,

From you [is] my praise. In [the] great assembly, I will pay my vows before those who revere him.

[The] afflicted will eat and will be satisfied. Those who seek him will praise Yahweh. May your heart live forever.

Descendants will serve him. Regarding the Lord, it will be told to the [next] generation.

They will come and tell his saving [deeds] to a people [yet] to be born, that he has done [it].

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

O my God, I trust you; let me not be put to shame. Do not let my enemies exult over me.

Indeed, none who wait for you should be put to shame. Those who betray without cause should be put to shame.

Protect my life and deliver me. Let me not be put to shame, because I take shelter in you.

But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me and be gracious to me.

Yahweh [is] my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? Yahweh [is] the refuge of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

And now my head will be high over my enemies round about me. And I will offer in his tent sacrifices with shouts of joy. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to Yahweh.

Hear, O Yahweh, my voice [when] I call, and be gracious to me and answer me.

Wait for Yahweh. Be strong and let your heart show strength, and wait for Yahweh.

To you, O Yahweh, I call. O my rock, do not be deaf to me. Or else, if you are silent to me, then I will become like those descending to [the] pit.

But as for me, I had said in my prosperity, "I shall not be moved ever."

O Yahweh, by your favor you caused my strong mountain to stand. You hid your face. I was bewildered.

"O Yahweh, hear and be gracious to me. O Yahweh, be my helper."

so that {I} may sing praises to you and not be quiet. O Yahweh, my God, I will give thanks to you forever.

In you, O Yahweh, I have taken refuge. Let me not be put to shame ever. Deliver me by your righteousness.

Be gracious [to] me, O Yahweh, because I have distress. My eye wastes away because of vexation, [along with] my soul and my {body}.

Shine your face upon your servant. Save me by your loyal love.

O Yahweh, let me not be put to shame, for I call on you. Let the wicked be put to shame. Let them [go] silently to Sheol.

Let lying lips be dumb, that speak against [the] righteous unrestrained with arrogance and contempt.

Be strong and let your heart show strength, all [you] who wait for Yahweh.

Do not be like a horse [or] like a mule, without understanding; [that needs] his tackle--bridle and rein--for restraint [or he would not] come near you.

Be glad in Yahweh and rejoice, [you] righteous, and shout for joy, all [you] upright of heart.

By the word of Yahweh [the] heavens were made, and by the breath of his mouth all their host.

The king [is] not saved by [the] greatness of an army. The warrior is not delivered by [the] greatness of strength.

The horse [is] a false hope for victory, nor can it save by the greatness of its power.

Let your loyal love, O Yahweh, be upon us, {even as} we hope in you.

I will bless Yahweh at all times; his praise [shall be] in my mouth continually.

My soul makes its boast in Yahweh; let the humble hear and be glad.

They looked to him and were radiant, and their faces shall not be ashamed.

Let those who seek my life be shamed and humiliated. Let those who plot calamity against me be repulsed and ashamed.

Let them be like chaff before [the] wind, with the angel of Yahweh {driving them}.

Let their way be dark and slippery, with the angel of Yahweh pursuing them.

You have seen, O Yahweh. Do not be deaf. O Lord, do not be far from me.

Let them be shamed and abashed altogether, who rejoice at my misfortune. Let them put on shame and insult, who magnify themselves against me.

Let them shout for joy and be glad, who delight in my vindication; and let them say continually, "Yahweh is great, who delights in the welfare of his servant."

Do not fret because of evildoers; do not be envious of doers of wickedness.

Be quiet before Yahweh and wait for him. Do not fret about one who succeeds [in] his way, about a man making plots.

For evildoers will be cut off, but those who wait for Yahweh-- they will possess [the] land.

And yet a little [while] and the wicked will not be, and you will look carefully upon his place, but he will not be.

[The] wicked have drawn [the] sword and have bent their bow to throw down [the] poor and [the] needy, to kill [those] upright in [their] way.

Their sword will enter into their [own] heart, and their bows shall be broken.

For [the] arms of [the] wicked shall be broken, but Yahweh supports [the] righteous.

Yahweh knows [the] days of [the] blameless, and their inheritance will be forever.

They will not be put to shame in distressing times, and in [the] days of famine they will be satisfied.

But [the] wicked will perish, and the enemies of Yahweh [will be] like [the] splendor of [the] pastures. They vanish; in smoke they vanish.

For those blessed [by] him shall possess [the] land, but those cursed [by] him shall be cut off.

[The] steps of a man are established by Yahweh, and he takes pleasure in his way.

Though he fall, he will not be cast headlong, for Yahweh supports [him with] his hand.

For Yahweh loves justice and will not forsake his faithful ones. They are protected forever. But [the] children of [the] wicked will be cut off.

Yahweh will not abandon him into his hand, and he will not let him be condemned when he is judged.
