But -- in the law of Jehovah is his delight, And in His law he doth meditate by day and by night:

My God, I call by day, and Thou answerest not, And by night, and there is no silence to me.

When by day and by night Thy hand is heavy upon me, My moisture hath been changed Into the droughts of summer. Selah.

My tear hath been to me bread day and night, In their saying unto me all the day, 'Where is thy God?'

In God we have boasted all the day, And Thy name to the age we thank. Selah.

By day and by night they go round it, on its walls. Both iniquity and perverseness are in its midst,

And I am plagued all the day, And my reproof is every morning.

And leadeth them with a cloud by day, And all the night with a light of fire.

But as man ye die, and as one of the heads ye fall,

In Thy name they rejoice all the day, And in Thy righteousness they are exalted,

They reel to and fro, and move as a drunkard, And all their wisdom is swallowed up.

Incline not my heart to an evil thing, To do habitually actions in wickedness, With men working iniquity, Yea, I eat not of their pleasant things.

He hath not done so to any nation, As to judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye Jah!
