So doth he become like a tree planted by streams of waters, - that yieldeth, its fruit, in its season, whose leaf, also doth not wither, and, whatsoever he doeth, prospereth.

He that sitteth in the heavens, will laugh, - My Lord, will mock at them:

Know ye, then, that Yahweh hath set apart the man of lovingkindness for himself: Yahweh, will hear, when I cry to him.

That all may rejoice who seek refuge in thee, to times age-abiding, may shout in triumph, that thou wilt protect them, and they may leap for joy in thee who are lovers of thy Name.

Let an enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it, that he may tread down, to the earth, my life, - and, mine honour - in the dust, he may cause to dwell. Selah.

Let the wrong of the lawless, I pray thee, come to an end, and establish thou him that is righteous, - for, a trier of hearts and reins, is God the righteous one.

What was weak man, that thou shouldst make mention of him? or the son of the earthborn, that thou shouldst set him in charge?

That thou shouldst make him little less than messengers of God, with glory and honour, shouldst crown him?

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

That I may recount all thy praises, In the gates of the daughter of Zion, may exult in thy salvation.

Appoint, O Yahweh, a terror for them, - Let the nations know that they are men. Selah.

May Yahweh cut off All the lips that utter smooth things, - the tongue that speaketh swelling words;

The words of Yahweh, are words, that are pure, silver refined in a crucible of earth, purified seven times!

Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed over him! and, mine adversaries, exult, that I totter.

The impious hath said in his heart - There is no God! They have acted corruptly, they have done an abominable deed, there is none that doeth good.

Yahweh, out of the heavens, looked down over the sons of men, - to see whether there was one that showed wisdom, enquiring after God: -

The whole, have turned aside, Together have they become tainted, - There is none that doeth good, not so much as, one!

Oh that, out of Zion, were granted the salvation of Israel! When Yahweh bringeth back the captives of his people, Jacob, shall exult, Israel, be glad.

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.

The lines, have fallen unto me, in pleasant places, Verily an inheritance that delighteth me.

Hear, O Yahweh, the right, Attend to my loud cry, Give ear unto my prayer, on lips that would not deceive:

His likeness, is as a lion, that longeth to rend, and as a young lion, lurking in secret places.

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

Teaching my hands to war, - so that a bow of bronze was bent by mine arms.

Thou didst widen my stepping-places under me, so that, mine ankles, faltered not.

Mistakes, who perceiveth? From things that are hidden, acquit me:

Now, do I know that Yahweh, hath saved, his Anointed One, - He answereth him out of his holy heavens, by the mighty saving deeds of his own right hand.

All that see me, laugh at me, - They open wide the mouth, They shake the head: -

For, thou, art he that severed me from the womb, he that caused me to trust, upon the breasts of my mother;

Ye that revere Yahweh, praise him, All ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him, And, stand in awe of him, all ye seed of Israel.

All the great ones of the earth, shall eat and bow down, Before him shall kneel, all that go down to the dust, Even he who had not kept alive, his own soul!

My seed, shall serve him, It shall he recounted, of the Lord, to a generation that shall come:

That his righteousness may be declared to a people to be born, That he wrought with effect!

Lift up, O ye gates, your heads, and lift yourselves up, ye age-abiding doors, That the king of glory may come in.

Lift up, O ye gates, your heads, yea lift them up, ye age-abiding doors, That the king of glory may come in.

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

One thing, have I asked of Yahweh, That, will I seek to secure, - That I may dwell in the house of Yahweh, all the days of my life, To view the delightfulness of Yahweh, And to contemplate in his temple.

Do not give me up unto the desire of mine adversaries, for there have risen up against me witnesses that are false, and he that fanneth up violence.

I believe that I shall see - The goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living,

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 indeed exult and rejoice, in thy lovingkindness, - In that thou hast looked upon my humiliation, thou hast taken note that in distresses was my life;

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

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

Sing unto him, a song that is new, With skill, sweep the strings, with loud noise.

Oh taste and see, that good is Yahweh, - How happy the man who seeketh refuge in him!

Who is the man that desireth life, Loving days, that he may see good?

There shall reach him a ruin he could not know, - Yea, his own net which he hath hidden, shall capture him, Into that ruin, shall he fall!

Yea, rest thy delight on Yahweh, that he may give thee the requests of thy heart.

My Lord, shall laugh at him, for he seeth, that his day, will come.

Yahweh knoweth the days of the blameless, that, their inheritance, unto times age-abiding, shall continue.

The righteous, shall inherit the earth, that they may settle down, to futurity, thereupon.

Wait for Yahweh, and observe thou his path, that he may exalt thee, to inherit the earth, On the cutting off of the lawless, shalt thou look.

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.

When, by rebukes for iniquity, thou hast corrected a man, Then hast thou consumed, as a moth, all that was delightful within him, Surely, a breath, are all men. Selah.

Look away from me that I may brighten up, Ere yet I depart and am no more.

How happy is he that is attentive to the poor, In the day of calamity, will Yahweh deliver him:

An infliction of the Abandoned One hath been fixed upon him, and, now that he hath lien down, he will not again rise.

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

Hereby, do I know that thou delightest in me, In that mine enemy shall not raise a shout over me.

Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, From the age that is past, even unto the age yet to come: Amen and Amen!

That I may go in unto the altar of God, Unto GOD, mine exultant joy, - That I may praise thee with the lyre, O God - mine own God!

That thou shouldst have crushed us down in the place of wild dogs, And covered us over with a deadly shadow.

Would not, God, have searched into this, Seeing that, he, knoweth the secrets of the heart?

In embroidered raiment, shall she be brought unto the king - The virgins that follow her, her companions, are to be conducted unto thee:

Let be! and know that, I, am God, I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.

Apply your mind to her rampart, Pass between her palaces, That ye may recount them to an after generation;

So costly, is the redemption of their soul, That it faileth unto times age-abiding;

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

For it is seen that, the wise, die, Together with the dullard, and the brutish, do they perish, And leave, to others, their wealth:

Their, inward thought, is that their houses are for times age-biding, Their habitations, for generation after generation, - They give their own names unto lands!

Like sheep - into hades, are they driven, Death shall shepherd them, - And the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning, Even their form, is to decay, Hades, is all that remaineth of a habitation for him.

He calleth, Unto the heavens above, And unto the earth, That he may judge his people.

Call upon me, then, in the day of distress, I will deliver thee, that thou mayest glorify me.

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?

Seeing that, thou, hast hated correction, And hast cast my words behind thee;

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.

He that sacrificeth a thankoffering, will glorify me, - And will prepare a way by which I may show him the salvation of God.

Against thee - against thee alone, have I sinned, And, wickedness - in thine eyes, have I done, - That thou mayest, Be justified when thou speakest, - Be clear when thou judgest.

Wilt thou cleanse me from sin with hyssop, That I may be pure? Wilt thou wash me, That I may be whiter, than snow?

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

The sacrifices of God, are a spirit that is broken, - A heart - broken and crushed, O God, thou wilt not despise.

The impious hath said in his heart, There is no God! They have acted corruptly, They have wrought abominable perversity, There is none that doeth good: -

God, out of the heavens, looked down upon the sons of men, - To see whether there was one that showed wisdom, Enquiring after God.

They all, have turned back, together have they become tainted, - There is none that doeth good, Not so much as, one!

Oh that, out of Zion, were granted the salvations of Israel! When God bringeth back the captives of his people, Jacob, shall exult, Israel, shall be glad.

Then I said - Oh that there were given me a pinion, like a dove, I would fly away and be at rest:

For it is, not an enemy, that reproacheth me, Or I could bear it, - Not one that hath hated me, who, against me, hath magnified himself, Or I might hide myself from him;

So that together have we been wont to find sweetness in counsel, In the house of God, used we to walk in the throng.

For thou hast rescued my soul from death, Wilt thou not rescue my feet from stumbling? That I may walk to and fro, before God, In the light of life.

He will send out of heaven, that he may save me, He who is panting for me, hath reproached. Selah.God will send out his lovingkindness and his faithfulness.

Their poison, is like unto the poison of a serpent, Like the deaf adder, that stoppeth his ear;

That will not hearken to the voice of whisperers, Though the wise one try to bind him with spells.

Let such men flow away like waters that disperse themselves: He prepareth his arrow, Like grass let them be cut down:

So that a son of earth may say - Surely there is fruit for the righteous man! Surely there are gods who judge in the earth!

For no iniquity, do they run that they may take their stand, Rouse thyself to meet me, and see.

Bring to a full end in wrath, Bring to a full end, that they be no more, - That men may know that, God, is ruling in Jacob, Unto the ends of the earth. Selah.

Thou hadst given - to them that revere thee - a banner, to float aloft, Because of thy faithfulness. Selah.

That thy beloved ones may be delivered, Save thou with thine own right hand - and answer us.

From the end of the earth, unto thee do I cry, When my heart fainteth away, Unto a rock that is higher than I, wilt thou lead me.

Let him retain his seat age-abidingly before God, Appoint that, lovingkindness and faithfulness, my watch over him!
