Lest one tear, as a lion, my soul, - and there be no deliverer to rescue.

O Yahweh my God, If I have done this, If there hath been perversity in my hands:

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!

There have they been in great dread, because, God, is in the circle of the righteous man.

There went up smoke in his nostrils, and, a fire out of his mouth, devoured, Live coals, were kindled from it:

They cried out, but there was none to save, unto Yahweh, but he answered them not.

There is no speech, and there are no words, - Unheard is their voice!

Thou wilt make them like a furnace of fire, at the time of thy presence, - Yahweh, in his anger, will swallow them up, and there shall consume them a fire:

My God! I keep crying - By day, and thou dost not answer, and, By night, and there is no rest for me.

Be not far from me, for, distress, is near, For there is none to help.

When there drew near against me evil-doers to devour my flesh, mine adversaries, and mine enemies - mine! - they, stumbled and fell!

Though there pitch against me - a camp, my heart shall not fear, - Though there come up against me - a battle, still, am I confident.

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.

The voice of Yahweh, causeth the gazelles to bring forth, and hath stript forests; and, in his own temple, every one there, is saying, Glory!

For there is, a Moment, in his anger, a Life-time, in his good-pleasure, In the evening, cometh Weeping to lodge, But, by the morning, -- tis a Shout of Triumph!

Revere Yahweh, ye his holy ones, For there is no want to them who revere him.

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!

There rise up witnesses helping forward violence and wrong, What I know not, they demand of me:

But, in mine overthrow, have they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together, - There gathered themselves together against me foolish men, and I knew it not, They have torn in pieces, and not been silent;

Declareth the transgression of the lawless one, within my heart, There is, no dread of God, before his eyes;

There did the workers of iniquity fall, - thrust down and not able to rise!

Mark the blameless man, and behold the upright, for there is a hereafter for the man of peace;

There is no soundness in my flesh, By reason of thine indignation, There is no peace in my bones, By reason of my sin;

For, my loins, are filled with inflammation, and there is no soundness in my flesh:

Hot was my heart within me, While I was musing, there was kindled a fire, I spake with my tongue!

Mighty things, hast thou done - Thou, Yahweh my God, Thy wonderful doings and thy purposes to-wards us, There is no setting them in order unto thee - I would tell, and would speak! - They are too great to rehearse.

For there have closed in upon me, misfortunes beyond number, Mine iniquities have overtaken me, and I cannot see, They have become more than the hairs of my head, And, my courage, hath forsaken me!

Trembling, seized them, there, Pangs. like hers who is in travail.

Understand this, I pray you, ye forgetters of GOD, Lest I tear in pieces, and there be none to deliver: -

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!

There have they been in great dread where no dread was, Because, God, hath scattered the bones of thy besieger, - Thou hast put him to shame, Because, God, had, rejected, them.

Fear and trembling, would enter me, And there would have overwhelmed me - a horror!

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

Engulfing ruin, is in her midst, And there depart not from her broadway, oppression and deceit.

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!

One thing, hath God spoken, Two things, there are which I have heard, That, power, belongeth unto God;

He turned the sea into dry land, Through the stream, crossed they over on foot, There did we rejoice in him:

There, is Benjamin, the Diminutive - ruling them, The princes of Judah - their throng, The princes of Zebulun, The princes of Naphtali.

I have sunk in deep swamp, Where there is no place to stand, I have come into abysses of waters, Where a flood hath overflowed me;

Reproach hath broken my heart, and I am weak, - Though I waited for one to pity me, yet there was none, And for comforters, yet I found not any.

Let their encampment become desolate, In their tents, be there none to dwell:

For, God, will save Zion, And build the cities of Judah, So shall men dwell there, and possess it:

Saying, God, hath forsaken him, Pursue and take him, For there is none to rescue.

May righteousness, in his days, blossom forth, And abundance of peace, till there be no moon.

Let him live, then! And be there given unto him of the gold of Sheba, - Let prayer also be offered for him continually, All the day, let him be blessed.

May there be an abundance of corn in the earth, in the top of the mountains, - Let the fruit thereof, wave like Lebanon, And they of the city bloom like the fresh shoots of the earth.

And they say - How doth GOD know? And is there knowledge in the Most High?

Whom have I in the heavens? And, compared with thee, there is nothing I desire on earth.

Our own signs, have we not seen, - There is no longer a prophet, - Neither is there with us, one who knoweth - How long!

There, hath he broken in pieces the arrows of the bow, shield and sword, and battle. Selah.

There shall not be, within thee, a foreign GOD, - Neither shalt thou bow down to a strange GOD:

There is none like unto thee, among the gods, O My Lord, And nothing like thy works.

I will mention Rahab and Babylon, to them who know me - Lo! Philistia and Tyre with Ethiopia, This one was born there.

Yahweh, will record, when he enrolleth the peoples, This one was born there. Selah.

There shall fall, at thy side, a thousand, Yea, myriads, at thy right hand, Unto thee, shall it not come nigh;

There shall not be sent unto thee misfortune, Nor shall, plague, come near into thy tent;

That thou mayest give him rest from the days of misfortune, Until there be digged - for the lawless one - a pit.

There shall not dwell in the midst of my house, One who worketh deceit, - he that speaketh falsehoods, shall not be established before mine eyes;

There, ships, sail along, This sea-monster, thou hast formed to sport therein;

He spake, and there came in the gad-fly, Gnats, in all their bounds;

Thus brought he them forth, with silver and gold, Nor was there, throughout his tribes, one that faltered;

He opened the rock, and there gushed forth waters, They flowed along, through parched places, as a river;

And he speaketh, and there ariseth a tempestuous wind, which lifteth on high its rolling waves;

And hath caused the famished to dwell there, And they have built them a city to dwell in;

Let him have no one to continue lovingkindness, and there be none to favour his fatherless children;

For there are set - Thrones for justice, Thrones for the house David.

Wait, O Israel, for Yahweh, - for, with Yahweh, is lovingkindness, and there aboundeth with him - redemption.

There, will I cause to bud a horn to David, I have prepared a lamp for mine Anointed One;

Like the dew of Hermon, which descended upon the mountains of Zion, - for, there, did Yahweh command the blessing, Life, unto times age-abiding?

Ears, have they, but they hear not, Nose, - there is no breath in their mouth.

By the rivers of Babylon, there, we sat down, yea we wept - when we remembered Zion:

For, there, our captors asked of us words of song, and our plunderers - gladness, - Sing us of the songs of Zion!

Surely there hath not been a word on my tongue, but behold! O Yahweh, thou hast observed it on every side.

If I ascend the heavens, there, thou art! If I spread out hades as my couch, behold thee!

Even there, thy hand shall lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

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.

And see if there be any idol-way in me, and lead me in a way age-abiding.

May there be dropped on them live coals, - Into the fire, may they be let fall, into watery pits from which they shall not rise.

Look to the right hand and see, that there is none that, for me, hath regard, - Escape is lost to me, There is no one to care for my life.
