But, in the law of Yahweh, is his delight, - and, in his law, doth he talk with himself day and night.

Not so, the lawless, - but as chaff which is driven about by the wind:

For Yahweh doth acknowledge the way of the righteous; but, the way of the lawless, shall vanish.

But, thou, Yahweh, art a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter up of my head.

Be deeply moved, but do not sin, - Ponder in your own heart upon your bed, and be silent. Selah.

Sacrifice the sacrifices of righteousness; and put your trust in Yahweh.

Thou hast put gladness in my heart, - beyond the season when, their corn and their new wine, have increased.

But, I, in the abounding of thy lovingkindness, will enter thy house, I will bow down towards thy holy temple, in reverence of thee:

I am weary with my sighing, I flood, through the whole night, my couch, - With my tears, I cause, my bed, to dissolve:

But, for himself, hath he made ready the weapons so deadly, His arrows, he, so fiery, would make:

Lo! he gendereth trouble, and conceiveth mischief, but giveth birth to a disappointment:

A pit, he cut out, and digged it, and then fell into the ditch he had made:

Shouldst give him dominion over the works of thy hands, - All things, shouldst have put under his feet:

But, Yahweh, unto times age-abiding, will sit, Ready for judgment, is his throne;

Thus let them who know thy Name, put confidence in thee, that thou hast not forsaken the searchers for thee, O Yahweh.

The nations, have sunk, in the pit they had made, In the net which they had hidden, is caught their own foot.

Yahweh, putteth, the righteous, to the test, - But the lawless one and the lover of violence, his soul doth hate.

But, I, in thy lovingkindness, have put my trust, My heart shall exult in thy salvation:

The purpose of the poor, ye would put to shame, because, Yahweh, is his refuge.

Despised in his sight, is the reprobate, but, them who revere Yahweh, he doth honour, he hath sworn to his neighbour, and will not change;

His silver, hath he not put out on interest, nor, a bribe against the innocent, hath he taken. He that doeth these things, shall not be shaken unto times age-abiding.

For, all his regulations, were before me, and, his statutes, did I not put from me:

With the pure, thou didst show thyself pure, But, with the perverse, thou didst show thyself ready to contend.

For, as for thee, an oppressed people, thou didst save, but, looks that were lofty, layedst thou low;

They cried out, but there was none to save, unto Yahweh, but he answered them not.

Then did I beat them in pieces, like dust on the face of the wind. Like the mire in the lanes, did I scatter them.

These, by chariots, and, those, by horses, but, we, by the Name of Yahweh our God, will prevail.

They, have bowed down and fallen, but, we, have arisen, and stand upright.

But, thou, art holy, Who inhabitest the praises of Israel.

But, I, am a worm and no one, a reproach of men, and despised of a people;

Like water, am I poured out, and, put out of joint, are all my bones, - My heart, hath become, like wax, it is melted in the midst of my body;

But, thou, O Yahweh, be not far off, O my help! to aid me, make haste;

For he hath not despised nor abhorred the humbling of the patient one, neither hath he hid his face from him, but, when he cried for help unto him, he heard.

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!

Oh keep my soul, and rescue me, Let me not be put to shame, for I have sought refuge in thee.

But, I, in my blamelessness, will walk, Redeem me and show me favour.

Unto thee, O Yahweh, do I cry, O my Rock! do not turn in silence from me, - lest, if thou turn from me in silence, I be like them who go down into the pit.

Do not drag me away - with the lawless, or with the workers of iniquity, - who speak peaceably with their neighbours, but, wrong, is in their heart.

O Yahweh! thou hast lifted, out of hades, my soul, Thou hast brought me back to life, from among those who were going down to the pit.

For there is, a Moment, in his anger, a Life-time, in his good-pleasure, In the evening, cometh Weeping to lodge, But, by the morning, -- tis a Shout of Triumph!

But, I, said, in my tranquility, I shall not be shaken to times age-abiding!

What profit in my blood? in my going down into the pit? Can dust praise thee? Can it declare thy faithfulness?

I, therefore. in thee, have put ray trust, O Yahweh, I have said, My God, thou art!

But, I, had said in mine alarm, I am cut off from before thine eyes, - But, indeed, thou didst hear the voice of my supplication, when I cried for help unto thee.

Love Yahweh, all ye his men of lovingkindness, - Faithfulness, doth Yahweh observe, but repayeth abundantly him that worketh proudly.

Do not ye become like a horse, like a mule, without discernment, - With the bit and bridle of his mouth, hast thou to restrain him, - He will not come near unto thee.

Many pains, hath the lawless one, - But, he that trusteth in Yahweh, Lovingkindness, shall compass him about.

Young lions, have come short, and suffered hunger, but, they who seek Yahweh, shall not lack any good thing.

Many are the misfortunes of the righteous, But, out of them all, doth Yahweh rescue him.

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:

For, without cause, have they hid for me, in a ditch, their net, - Without cause, have they digged a pit for my life.

But, my soul, shall exult in Yahweh, - shall be glad in his salvation.

But, as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth, I humbled, with fasting, my soul, though, my prayer, unto mine own bosom, might return:

But, in mine overthrow, have they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together, - There gathered themselves together against me foolish men, and I knew it not, They have torn in pieces, and not been silent;

For, no salvation, will they utter, - But, against the quiet of the land, deceitful things, do they devise;

Iniquity, deviseth he upon his bed, - he taketh his stand in a way, not good, Wrong, doth he not abhor!

For, evil doers, shall be cut off, but, as for them who wait for Yahweh, they, shall inherit the earth.

But, the patient oppressed-ones, shall inherit the earth, and shall delight themselves over the abundance of prosperity.

For, the arms of the lawless, shall be broken, But Yahweh is upholding the righteous.

A lawless man borroweth, and will not repay, But, a righteous man, showeth favour and giveth;

For, such as are blessed of him, shall inherit the earth, But, the cursed of him, shall be cut off.

The lawless man, lieth in wait, for the just, and seeketh to put him to death:

Then I passed by, and lo! he had vanished! Yea I sought him, but he could not be found.

But, transgressors, are to be destroyed together, the hereafter of lawless men, is to be cut off.

But, the deliverance of the righteous, is from Yahweh, their refuge in a time of distress.

My wounds are of bad odour - they have festered, by reason of my folly:

But, I, as one deaf, will not hear, - and as one dumb, who will not open his mouth:

I said, to myself, I will take heed to my ways, That I sin not with my tongue, - I will put on my mouth a muzzle, So long as the lawless is before me.

I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, afar from happiness, But, my pain had been stirred:

So he brought me up, Out of the destroying pit, Out of the swampy mire, - And set, upon a cliff, my feet, Making firm my steps:

Then put he, into my mouth, a new song, Praise to our God, - Many shall see and revere, And shall trust in Yahweh.

But, I, being oppressed and needy, May My Lord devise for me, - My help and my deliverer, thou art! O my God, do not tarry!

Yahweh, will sustain him upon the bed of sickness, All his couch, hast thou transformed in his disease.

Even the man whom I used to salute, in whom I put confidence, who used to eat my bread, - hath magnified his heel against me!

But, thou, O Yahweh, show me favour and raise me up, That I may repay them.

But, as for me, In my blamelessness, hast thou held me fast, And hast caused me to stand before thee unto times age-abiding.

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.

For thou hast saved us from our adversaries, And, them who hated us, hast thou put to shame.

But nay thou hast rejected, and confounded us, And wilt not go forth with our hosts;

But, a son of earth, though wealthy, cannot tarry, He hath made himself a by-word - Beasts, they resemble:

But, God, will redeem my soul, out of the hand of hades, For he will take me. Selah.

But, to the lawless one, God saith, What hast, thou, to do, to recount my statutes? Or that thou hast taken up my covenant upon thy mouth?

Lo! the man who made not God his refuge, - But trusted in the abundance of his riches, Emboldened himself in his wealth!

But, I, am like a flourishing olive-tree, in the house of God, I have put confidence in the lovingkindness of God, for times age-abiding and beyond.

There have they been in great dread where no dread was, Because, God, hath scattered the bones of thy besieger, - Thou hast put him to shame, Because, God, had, rejected, them.

But it is, thou, a man esteemed as mine equal, mine associate, and mine acquaintance;

Smoother than curds, were the words of his mouth, But, war, was in his heart, - Softer his words than oil, Yet, they, were drawn swords!

But, thou, O God, wilt bring them down to the pit of destruction, Men of bloodshed and deceit, shall not live out half their days; But, I, will trust in thee.

My wandering, hast, thou, recorded, - Put thou my tears in thy bottle, Are they not in thy record?

A net, did they fix for my steps, My soul was bowed down, - They digged before me a pit, They fell into the midst thereof! Selah.

But, I, will sing thy power, And will shout aloud, in the morning, thy lovingkindness, - For thou has become a refuge for me, And a place to flee to in the day of my distress.

Mine, is Gilead - and mine, Manasseh, But, Ephraim, is the defence, of my head, Judah, is my commander's staff;

Surely, from his elevation, they have taken counsel to thrust him down, They accept falsehood, - With his mouth, they each of them bless, But, inwardly, they revile. Selah.

But, the king, shall rejoice in God, - Every one shall glory who sweareth by him, For the mouth of them who speak falsehood, shall be stopped.

Thine, are silence and praise, O God, in Zion, - And, to thee, shall be paid the vow.

How happy the man thou shalt choose and bring near! He shall bide in thy courts, - We shall be satisfied with, The blessing of thy house, The holiness of thy temple.

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

But in truth, God hath heard, He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

But let, the righteous, be glad, let them exult before God, Yea let them rejoice with gladness.
