Wherefore have nations assembled in tumult? Or should, peoples, mutter an empty thing?

Thou hast tested my heart, hast made inspection by night, hast refined me until thou couldst find nothing, Had I devised evil, my mouth should not have transgressed:

He should trust in Yahweh - let him deliver him, - Let him rescue him, seeing he delighteth in him.

Who then is the man that revereth Yahweh? Let him direct him into the way he should choose.

To the end that mine honour should make melody unto thee, and not be silent. O Yahweh, my God! Unto times age-abiding, will I praise thee.

I will say onto GOD, - my rock, Wherefore hast thou forgotten me? Wherefore in gloom should I go, because of oppression by the enemy?

For, thou, art my defending God - Wherefore hast thou rejected me? Wherefore in gloom should I wander, because of the oppression of an enemy?

Wherefore should I fear in the days of calamity, Though the iniquity of them who lie in wait for me should enclose me?

That he should, yet, live on, continually, Should not see corruption.

These things, hast thou done, and I have kept silence, Thou thoughtest that I should really be like thyself, I will convict thee, yea I will set thine offences in order before thine eyes.

I would teach transgressors thy ways, And, sinners, unto thee, should return.

Rescue me from shed-blood, O God, the God of my salvation, My tongue should shout thy righteousness;

For thou wilt not desire sacrifice - that I should give it, Ascending-offering, will not please:

Are ye, indeed, silent when righteousness, ye should speak? When, with equity, ye should judge, O ye sons of men?

Should I call thee to mind upon my conch, In the watches of the night, would I breathe soft speech of thee.

To the end, A later generation, might come m know, Children who should be born, Who should arise, and recount them to their children;

Wherefore should the nations say - Where is their God? Let him be known among the nations before our eyes! Yea! By the avenging of the blood of thy servants which hath been shed!

The haters of Yahweh, should come cringing unto him, Then let their own good time be age-abiding!

Wherefore should the nations say, Pray where is their God?

I believed that I should speak, I, was greatly depressed.

Thou, hast commanded thy precepts, that they should be diligently kept.

It is time that Yahweh should work, They have frustrated thy law!

Mine unfinished substance, thine eyes beheld, and, in thy book, all the parts thereof were written, - the days they should be fashioned! while yet there was not one among them.

Let not my heart incline to a matter of wrong, that I should busy myself with practices in lawlessness, with men working iniquity, and let me not eat of their dainties.

Let a righteous man smite me - a lovingkindness, that he should correct me, an oil for the head which let not my head refuse! For, yet, even my prayer, shall be in their calamities.
