And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivulets of water that brings forth its fruit in its seasons, and its leaf shall not wither, and all which he does shall be blessed.

But know that Jehovah has set apart the godly for Himself. Jehovah hears when I call to Him.

You have put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their grain and their wine increased.

For You are not a God that enjoys wickedness; nor shall evil dwell with You.

what is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man, that You visit him?

the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, and all that pass through the paths of the seas.

so that I may declare all Your praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion; I will rejoice in Your salvation.

The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made; their foot is caught in the net which they hid.

The wicked shall be turned into hell, all the nations that forget God.

The wicked in his pride persecutes the poor; let them be taken in the plans that they have imagined.

to judge the fatherless and the oppressed, so that the man of the earth may no more terrify.

for lo, the wicked bend their bow; they make ready their arrow on the string, so that they may secretly shoot at the upright in heart.

Jehovah shall cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that speaks proud things,

that has said, With our tongue we shall do much; our lips are our own; who is lord over us?

My steps have been held in Your paths, so that my footsteps have not slipped.

their likeness is like a lion that longs to tear, and like a young lion lurking in secret places.

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David, the servant of Jehovah, who spoke to Jehovah the words of this song in the day that Jehovah delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul; and he said: I love You, O Jehovah, my strength.

He teaches my hands to war, so that a bow of bronze is bent by my arms.

You have given a wide place for my steps under me, so that my feet have not slipped.

You have also given me the neck of my enemies; so that I might destroy those who hate me.

Now I know that Jehovah saves His anointed; He will hear him from His holy Heaven with the saving strengths of His right hand.

They shall come, and shall declare His righteousness to a people that shall yet be born, that He has done this.

What man is he who fears Jehovah? He shall teach him in the way that he shall choose.

so that I may cry out with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all Your wonderful works.

One thing I have desired from Jehovah, that I will seek after: that I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of Jehovah, and to pray in His temple.

Deliver me not over to the will of my enemies; for false witnesses have risen up against me, and he that breathes out cruelty.

O Jehovah, You have brought up my soul from the grave; You have kept me alive, so that I should not go down to the Pit.

so that my glory may sing praise to You, and not be silent. O Jehovah my God, I will give thanks to You forever.

Bring me out of the net that they hid for me, for You are my strength.

Be not like the horse, or like the mule, who have no understanding, whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, so that they do not come near you.

Taste and see that Jehovah is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him.

Who is the man that desires life, and loves days, that he may see good?

Cruel witnesses rose up; they asked of me that which I never knew.

He plots evil on his bed; he sets himself in a way that is not good; he does not hate evil.

Jehovah laughs at him; for He sees that his day is coming.

Watch the perfect and behold the upright one; for the end of that man is peace.

To the Chief Musician, to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. I said, I will take heed to my ways so that I do not sin with my tongue; I will keep my mouth with a bridle while the wicked are before me.

For evils without number have hemmed me in; my sins have taken hold on me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart fails me.

But You, O Jehovah, be merciful to me, and raise me up, so that I may repay them.

By this I know that You delight in me, because my enemy does not triumph over me.

Be still, and know that I am God! I will be praised among the nations, I will be praised in the earth.

Set your heart on its ramparts, pass between its strongholds; so that you may tell it to the coming generation.

Their inward thought is that their houses shall go on forever, and their dwelling-places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names.

But man, though high in honor, does not remain; he is like the animals that perish.

He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, so that He may judge His people.

These things you have done, and I have kept silence; you thought that I was like yourself, but I will rebuke you, and set in order before your eyes.

Against You, You only, have I sinned, and done evil in Your sight; that You might be justified when You speak, and be clear when You judge.

Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which You have broken may rejoice.

He has delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me; for there were many with me.

For You have delivered my soul from death; have You not kept my feet from falling, so that I may walk before God in the light of the living?

Consume them in wrath; consume, so that they may not be; and let them know that God rules in Jacob to the ends of the earth. Selah.

Save with Your right hand and answer me, that Your beloved may be delivered.

So I will sing praise to Your name forever, so that I may daily pay my vows.

God has spoken once; twice I have heard this, that power belongs to God.

so that they may shoot at the blameless one from a lurking place; suddenly they shoot at him, and fear not.

So that Your way may be known on earth, Your salvation among all nations.

You have gone up on high; You have led captivity captive; You have received gifts for men, yes, for the rebellious also, that You might dwell among them, O Jehovah God.

so that your foot may be dipped in the blood of your enemies, and the tongue of your dogs in it.

Your God has commanded your strength; O God, be strong in that which You have worked out for us.

Let their eyes be darkened, so that they do not see; and make their loins shake without ceasing.

This also shall please Jehovah better than an ox, or a bull that has horns and hoofs.

Let the heavens and earth praise Him, the seas, and everything that moves in them.

For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah; so that they may dwell there, and possess it.

He shall come down like rain on the mown grass, like showers that water the earth.

Lift up Your feet to the never-ending ruins, even all that the enemy has done wickedly in the sanctuary.

Surely the wrath of man shall praise You; the wrath that is left, You shall bind up.

Vow, and pay to Jehovah your God; let all that are around Him bring presents to the Fearful One.

We will not hide them from their sons, showing to the generations to come the praises of Jehovah, and His strength, and His wonderful works that He has done.

For He set up a testimony in Jacob, and ordered a Law in Israel, which He commanded our fathers, that they should teach them to their sons;

so that the generation to come might know; sons shall be born, and they shall arise and tell their sons,

so that they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep His Commandments;

and might not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that did not set their heart aright, and whose spirit was not faithful with God.

Behold! He struck the rock so that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed. Can He also give bread? Can He provide flesh for His people?

And they remembered that God was their rock, and the Most High God was their redeemer.

For He remembered that they were but flesh, a wind that passes away and does not come again.

He turned their rivers into blood, and their floods, so that they could not drink.

And He led them on safely, so that they did not fear; but the sea flooded over their enemies.

so that He left the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which He placed among men,

Why have You broken down its hedges, so that all those who pass by the way pluck it?

and the vineyard which Your right hand has planted, and the Son that You make strong for Yourself.

Oh that My people had listened to Me, and Israel had walked in My ways!

They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, so that the name Israel may be remembered no more.

Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek Your name, O Jehovah.

so that men may know that Your name is JEHOVAH, that You alone are the Most High over all the earth.

Will You not give us life again, so that Your people may rejoice in You?

Surely His salvation is near those that fear Him, so that glory may dwell in our land.

Show me a token for good, so that they who hate me may see and be ashamed; because You, Jehovah, have helped me and comforted me.

And to Zion it shall be said, This man and that man was born in her; and the Highest shall establish her.

Jehovah shall count, in recording the peoples, that this man was born there. Selah.

free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom You remember no more; and by Your hand they are cut off.

You have broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; You have scattered Your enemies with Your strong arm.

Blessed is the people that knows the joyful sound; they shall walk, O Jehovah, in the light of Your face.

I will not break My covenant, nor change the thing that has gone out of My lips.

Once I have sworn by My holiness that I will not lie to David.

So teach us to number our days, so that we may bring a heart of wisdom.

Satisfy us early with Your mercy, so that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

You shall not fear the terror by night; nor because of the arrow that flies by day;

nor for the plague that walks in darkness, of the destruction laying waste at noonday.

When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity blossom, it is that they shall be destroyed forever;

Those that are planted in the house of Jehovah shall flourish in the courts of our God.
