Not so the wicked: But -- as chaff that wind driveth away!

Tremble ye, and do not sin;' Say ye thus in your heart on your bed, And be ye silent. Selah.

For I see Thy heavens, a work of Thy fingers, Moon and stars that Thou didst establish.

Bird of the heavens, and fish of the sea, Passing through the paths of the seas!

Favour me, O Jehovah, See mine affliction by those hating me, Thou who liftest me up from the gates of death,

So that I recount all Thy praise, In the gates of the daughter of Zion. I rejoice on Thy salvation.

To the Overseer. -- By David. In Jehovah I trusted, how say ye to my soul, 'They moved to Thy mountain for the bird?

Jehovah is in his holy temple: Jehovah -- in the heavens is His throne. His eyes see -- His eyelids try the sons of men.

For righteous is Jehovah, Righteousness He hath loved, The upright doth His countenance see!'

Lest mine enemy say, 'I overcame him,' Mine adversaries joy when I am moved.

Jehovah from the heavens Hath looked on the sons of men, To see if there is a wise one -- seeking God.

For Thou dost not leave my soul to Sheol, Nor givest thy saintly one to see corruption.

From before thee my judgment doth go out; Thine eyes do see uprightly.

I -- in righteousness, I see Thy face; I am satisfied, in awaking, with Thy form!

My soul He refresheth, He leadeth me in paths of righteousness, For His name's sake,

For Thy name's sake, O Jehovah, Thou hast pardoned mine iniquity, for it is great.

See mine affliction and my misery, And bear with all my sins.

See my enemies, for they have been many, And with violent hatred they have hated me.

So that honour doth praise Thee, and is not silent, O Jehovah, my God, to the age I thank Thee!

For my rock and my bulwark art Thou, For Thy name's sake lead me and tend me.

Gathering as a heap the waters of the sea, Putting in treasuries the depths.

Taste ye and see that Jehovah is good, O the happiness of the man who trusteth in Him.

Who is the man that is desiring life? Loving days to see good?

And draw out spear and lance, To meet my pursuers. Say to my soul, 'Thy salvation I am.'

All my bones say, 'Jehovah, who is like Thee, Delivering the poor from the stronger than he, And the poor and needy from his plunderer.'

They do not say in their heart, 'Aha, our desire.' They do not say, 'We swallowed him up.'

They sing and rejoice, who are desiring my righteousness, And they say continually, 'Jehovah is magnified, Who is desiring the peace of His servant.'

For with Thee is a fountain of life, In Thy light we see light.

Observe the perfect, and see the upright, For the latter end of each is peace.

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

For compassed me have evils innumerable, Overtaken me have mine iniquities, And I have not been able to see; They have been more than the hairs of my head, And my heart hath forsaken me.

All seeking Thee rejoice and are glad in Thee, Those loving Thy salvation say continually, 'Jehovah is magnified.'

Mine enemies say evil of me: When he dieth -- his name hath perished!

And if he came to see -- vanity he speaketh, His heart gathereth iniquity to itself, He goeth out -- at the street he speaketh.

To the Overseer. -- An Instruction. By sons of Korah. As a hart doth pant for streams of water, So my soul panteth toward Thee, O God.

My soul thirsted for God, for the living God, When do I enter and see the face of God?

I say to God my rock, 'Why hast Thou forgotten me? Why go I mourning in the oppression of an enemy?

Hearken, O daughter, and see, incline thine ear, And forget thy people, and thy father's house,

Come ye, see the works of Jehovah, Who hath done astonishing things in the earth,

They have seen -- so they have marvelled, They have been troubled, they were hastened away.

As we have heard, so we have seen, In the city of Jehovah of hosts, In the city of our God, God doth establish her -- to the age. Selah.

As is Thy name, O God, so is Thy praise, Over the ends of the earth, Righteousness hath filled Thy right hand.

Set your heart to her bulwark, Consider her high places, So that ye recount to a later generation,

It cometh to the generation of his fathers, For ever they see not the light.

Against Thee, Thee only, I have sinned, And done the evil thing in Thine eyes, So that Thou art righteous in Thy words, Thou art pure in Thy judging.

And the righteous see, And fear, and laugh at him.

God from the heavens looked on the sons of men, To see if there be an understanding one, One seeking God.

To the Overseer with stringed instruments. -- An instruction, by David, in the coming in of the Ziphim, and they say to Saul, 'Is not David hiding himself with us?' O God, by Thy name save me, and by Thy might judge me.

And I say, 'Who doth give to me a pinion as a dove? I fly away and rest,

Swallow up, O Lord, divide their tongue, For I saw violence and strife in a city.

To the Overseer. -- 'Destroy not,' by David. -- A secret treasure, in Saul's sending, and they watch the house to put him to death. Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God, From my withstanders set me on high.

Without punishment they run and prepare themselves, Stir up to meet me, and see.

So do I praise Thy name for ever, When I pay my vows day by day!

So in the sanctuary I have seen Thee, To behold Thy strength and Thine honour.

So I bless Thee in my life, in Thy name I lift up my hands.

By fearful things in righteousness Thou answerest us, O God of our salvation, The confidence of all far off ends of earth and sea.

Say to God, 'How fearful are Thy works, By the abundance of Thy strength, Thine enemies feign obedience to Thee.

Come ye, and see the works of God, Fearful acts toward the sons of men.

He hath turned a sea to dry land, Through a river they pass over on foot, There do we rejoice in Him.

The Lord said: 'From Bashan I bring back, I bring back from the depths of the sea.

So that thou dashest thy foot in blood, In the blood of enemies -- the tongue of Thy dogs.'

Let all those seeking Thee joy and be glad in Thee, And let those loving Thy salvation Say continually, 'God is magnified.'

By Thee I have been supported from the womb, From my mother's bowels Thou dost cut me out, In Thee is my praise continually.

By Solomon. O God, Thy judgments to the king give, And Thy righteousness to the king's son.

And he ruleth from sea unto sea, And from the river unto the ends of earth.

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

Thou hast broken by Thy strength a sea -monster, Thou hast shivered Heads of dragons by the waters,

And I say: 'My weakness is, The changes of the right hand of the Most High.'

In the sea is Thy way, And Thy paths are in many waters, And Thy tracks have not been known.

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

He cleft a sea, and causeth them to pass over, Yea, He causeth waters to stand as a heap.

And He leadeth them confidently, And they have not been afraid, And their enemies hath the sea covered.

Help us, O God of our salvation, Because of the honour of Thy name, And deliver us, and cover over our sins, For Thy name's sake.

Why do the nations say, 'Where is their God?' Let be known among the nations before our eyes, The vengeance of the blood of Thy servants that is shed.

It sendeth forth its branches unto the sea, And unto the river its sucklings.

God of Hosts, turn back, we beseech Thee, Look from heaven, and see, and inspect this vine,

So dost Thou pursue them with Thy whirlwind, And with Thy hurricane troublest them.

Our shield, see, O God, And behold the face of Thine anointed,

Do with me a sign for good, And those hating me see and are ashamed, For Thou, O Jehovah, hast helped me, Yea, Thou hast comforted me!

Thou art ruler over the pride of the sea, In the lifting up of its billows Thou dost restrain them.

And I have set on the sea his hand, And on the rivers his right hand.

Who is the man that liveth, and doth not see death? He delivereth his soul from the hand of Sheol. Selah.

Than the voices of many mighty waters, Breakers of a sea, mighty on high is Jehovah,

They utter -- they speak an old saw, All working iniquity do boast themselves.

And they say, 'Jehovah doth not see, And the God of Jacob doth not consider.'

He who planteth the ear doth He not hear? He who formeth the eye doth He not see?

Whose is the sea, and He made it, And His hands formed the dry land.

Forty years I am weary of the generation, And I say, 'A people erring in heart -- they! And they have not known My ways:'

Say among nations, 'Jehovah hath reigned, Also -- established is the world, unmoved, He judgeth the peoples in uprightness.'

The heavens joy, and the earth is joyful, The sea and its fulness roar.

Roar doth the sea and its fulness, The world and the inhabitants in it.

I say, 'My God, take me not up in the midst of my days,' Through all generations are Thine years.

Mortal man! as grass are his days, As a flower of the field so he flourisheth;

This, the sea, great and broad of sides, There are moving things -- innumerable, Living creatures -- small with great.

Our fathers in Egypt, Have not considered wisely Thy wonders, They have not remembered The abundance of Thy kind acts, And provoke by the sea, at the sea of Suph.

And He saveth them for His name's sake, To make known His might,

And rebuketh the sea of Suph, and it is dried up, And causeth them to go Through depths as a wilderness.

And they are envious of Moses in the camp, Of Aaron, Jehovah's holy one.

Of wonderful things in the land of Ham, Of fearful things by the sea of Suph.

Let the redeemed of Jehovah say, Whom He redeemed from the hand of an adversary.
