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.

Not so the wicked. Instead, [they are] like the chaff that [the] wind scatters.

You will break them with an iron rod. Like a potter's vessel you will shatter them."

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

See, he travails with evil. He is pregnant with trouble, and he gives birth to deception.

[the] birds of [the] sky and the fish of the sea, [everything] that passes along the paths of seas.

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.

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

to render judgment [for the] fatherless and [the] oppressed [so that] a [mere] mortal from the earth will no longer cause terror.

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

Yahweh [is] in his holy temple; Yahweh [is] in the heavens [on] his throne. His eyelids see; they test [the] children of humankind.

For Yahweh [is] righteous; he loves righteous deeds. [The] upright shall see his face.

[those] who say, "With our tongue we will prevail. Our lips [are] on our side. Who [is] master over us?"

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

Yahweh looks down from heaven upon the children of humankind to see whether there is one who has insight, one who cares about God.

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

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

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

So he bowed [the] heavens and came down with a thick cloud under his feet.

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.

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

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.

May Yahweh answer you in [the] day of trouble. May the name of Jacob's God protect you.

May he give to you {your heart's desire}, and your every plan may he fulfill. Selah

All [who] see me mock me. They open wide [their] lips; they shake [the] head, [saying]:

Yet [you] took me from [the] belly; you made me trust [while] on my mother's breasts.

On you I was cast from [the] womb. From my mother's belly you [have been] my God.

The earth is Yahweh's, with its fullness, [the] world and those who live in it,

Surely I believe [that I will] see the goodness of Yahweh in [the] land of [the] living.

Yahweh [is] my strength and my shield. My heart trusts him and I am helped. So my heart rejoices, and with my song I will give thanks to him.

The voice of Yahweh causes deer to give birth and strips [the] forests bare. And at his temple all in it say, "Glory!"

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

For you [are] my rock and my fortress. So, for the sake of your name, lead me and guide me.

Because of all my adversaries I have become a disgrace, especially to my neighbors, and a dread to my acquaintances. [Those who] see me in the street flee from me.

But as for me, I trust you, O Yahweh. I say, "You [are] my God."

[He] gathered the waters of the sea like a heap. [He] put [the] deeps in storehouses.

Taste and see that Yahweh [is] good; blessed [is] the man [who] takes refuge in him.

Who [is] the man who desires life, who loves [many] days in order to see good?

And draw [the] spear and javelin to meet [those who] pursue me. Say to my soul, "I [am] your salvation."

All of my bones shall say, "O Yahweh, who [is] like you, who delivers [the] poor from [one] stronger than he and [the] poor and needy from [the one who] robs him?"

Do not let them say in their hearts, "Aha, our desire." Let them not say, "We have swallowed him up."

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."

For with you is [the] fountain of life; in your light we see light.

Turn aside from evil and do good and [so] abide forever.

Wait for Yahweh and keep his way, and he will exalt you to possess [the] land. When [the] wicked are cut off, you will see [it].

And [so] I am like a man who hears not, and in whose mouth there are no retorts.

And [so] he brought me up from [the] roaring pit, from the miry clay. And he put my feet upon a rock; he made my steps steady.

Then he put a new song in my mouth, a praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and will trust Yahweh.

For evils without number have encompassed me. My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to see. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart fails me.

Let them be appalled because of their shame, those who say to me, "Aha! Aha!"

Let them rejoice and be glad in you, all those who seek you. Let them say continually, "Yahweh is great!" --those who love your salvation.

And when one comes to see [me], he speaks falsely; his heart gathers disaster for itself. He goes out to the street; he speaks.

As a deer longs for streams of water, so my soul longs for you, O God.

My tears have been my food day and night, while [they] say to me all day [long], "Where [is] your God?"

I say to God, my rock, "Why have you forgotten me? Why must I walk about mourning because of [the] oppression of [the] enemy?"

[As] with a shattering in my bones my oppressors taunt me, while they say to me {all day}, "Where [is] your God?"

You have caused us to pull back from [the] enemy, and [so] those who hate us have plundered for themselves.

Your arrows [are] sharp; peoples fall under you in the midst of the king's enemies.

Hear, O daughter, and {discern} and incline your ear, and forget your people and your father's house.

The king's daughter is all glorious within; her garment [is] of gold embroidered cloth.

Therefore we will not fear though [the] earth change, and though the mountains totter into [the] {midst} of [the] sea,

Come, see the works of Yahweh, who has placed desolations on the earth.

[The] princes of [the] peoples are gathered together [with] the people of Abraham's God. For [the] shields of [the] earth belong to God. He is very exalted.

For see, the kings assembled; they advanced together.

{They themselves saw} [it], so they were astonished. They were terrified; they ran off.

As we have heard, so we have seen in the city of Yahweh of hosts, in the city of our God. God will establish her forever. Selah

As [is] your name, O God, so [is] your praise to [the] ends of [the] earth. Your right hand is full of righteousness.

{Consider well} her ramparts. Go through her citadels so that you can tell [the] next generation

so that he may stay alive forever [and] not see the pit.

it will go to the generation of his fathers. Never will they see light.

When you see a thief, then you are pleased with him, and your association [is] with adulterers.

You sit and speak against your brother; you slander your mother's son.

Against you, only you, I have sinned and have done this evil in your eyes, so that you are correct when you speak, you are blameless when you judge.

And [the] righteous will see and fear, and will laugh at him, [saying],

God looks down from heaven upon the children of humankind to see whether there is one who has insight, one who seeks God.

See, God [is] my helper; The Lord [is] with those who sustain my life.

So I say, "{Oh, that} I had wings like a dove. I would fly away and be at rest.

Confuse, O Lord; divide their speech, because I see violence and strife in the city.

so that it does not hear [the] voice of charmers [or the] skilled caster of spells.

[Let them be] like a snail [that] melts away [as] it goes; [like the] stillborn of woman [that] do not see [the] sun.

And people will say, "Surely [there is] a {reward} for the righteous. Surely there is a God [who] judges in the land."

Without guilt on my part they run and ready themselves. Awake to meet me and see.

Look, they pour out [talk] with their mouth. Swords [are] on their lips, for [they say], "Who hears?"

Destroy in anger; destroy so they are no more, so that they may know that God [is] ruling in Jacob to the ends of the earth. Selah

so that your beloved ones may be rescued. Save by your right hand and answer us.

So I will sing the praise of your name forever, that I may fulfill my vows {daily}.

So I will bless you while I live. I will lift up my {hands} in your name.

They encourage themselves [in the] evil matter. They talk of secretly laying snares. They say, "Who will see them?"

so that [the] inhabitants of [the] farthest reaches are in awe of your signs. You make the dawn and sunset sing for joy.

You care for the land and water it; you greatly enrich it. The stream of God [is] filled with waters. You provide their grain, for so you have established it.

Say to God, "How awesome are your works! Because of the greatness of your strength, your enemies will cringe before you.

He turned [the] sea into dry ground; they passed through the river on foot. There we rejoiced in him.

You have ascended on high; you have led away captives. You have received gifts [from] among humankind, and even [from the] rebellious, so that Yah God may dwell [there].

The Lord said, "I will bring [them] back from Bashan; I will bring [them] back from [the] depths of [the] sea,

so that your foot may shatter [them] bloody [for] the tongues of your dogs [to have] their share from [the] enemies."

to the one who rides in the highest heavens of old. See, he gives forth his voice, a mighty voice.

I have become a stranger to my brothers and a foreigner to my mother's sons,

Let their eyes be dark so they cannot see, and make their loins continually tremble.
