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

Yet, I, have installed my king, - on Zion my holy mountain.

With my voice - unto Yahweh, do I cry, and he hath answered me out of his holy mountain. Selah.

In peace, will I lay me down and at once sleep; for, thou, Yahweh alone, wilt cause me, in security, to dwell.

My face, is all sunken with sorrow, - it hath aged, because of all mine adversaries.

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.

When, the assembly of peoples, gather round thee, then, above it - on high, do thou return!

A God to vindicate the righteous, - and yet a Got to be indignant throughout every day.

If he turn not, his sword, will he whet, - his bow, hath he bent, and made ready:

A pit, he cut out, and digged it, and then fell into the ditch he had made:

Out of the mouth of children and sucklings, hast thou laid a foundation of strength, - because of thine adversaries, to make foe and avenger be still.

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

Thou hast rebuked the nations, Thou hast destroyed the lawless one, Their name, hast thou wiped out, to times age-abiding and beyond.

Show me favour, O Yahweh! Behold my humiliation due to them who hate me, Lift me on high out of the gates of death;

His ways are firm at all times, On high, are thy righteous regulations, out of his sight, As for all his adversaries, he puffeth at them:

He lieth in wait in a hiding-place, like a lion in his covert, He lieth in wait to catch the humbled, He catcheth the humbled, by drawing him into his net:

Wherefore hath the lawless one blasphemed God? He hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it !

Shatter thou the arm of the lawless one, And, as for the wrongful, wilt thou not enquire for his lawlessness - wilt thou not find it ?

Yahweh, is king, to times age-abiding and beyond, The nations have perished out of his land.

For lo! the lawless, bend the bow They have fixed their arrow upon the string, To shoot in the darkness at the upright in heart:

When the pillars are overthrown, What could, a righteous man, do?

Because of violence done to the poor, because of the crying of the needy, Now, will I arise! O may Yahweh say, - I will place him in safety - let him puff at him!

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

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.

It belongeth unto the holy ones, whom, in his own land, Yahweh, ennobleth, In whom is all his delight

They multiply their idols - another, have they purchased! I will not pour out their drink-offerings of blood, nor will I take up their names on my lips.

Thou wilt cause me to know, the path of life, - Fulness of joys before thee, Pleasures at thy right hand evermore.

In my distress, called I on Yahweh, And, unto my God, made outcry for help, He heard, out of his temple, my voice, And my outcry for help came before him - entered into his ears!

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

Then he stretched out the heaven, and came down, - and, thick gloom, was under his feet;

Out of the brightness before him, his clouds rolled along, hail, and live coals of fire.

And he sent forth his arrows and scattered them, yea, lightnings, he shot out, and confused them.

Then appeared the channels of waters, were uncovered the foundations of the world, - At thy rebuke O Yahweh, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.

He sent from on high, he took me, - he drew me out of many waters.

And brought me out, into a large place, he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

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

At the hearing of the ear, they submitted to me, the sons of the foreigner, came cringing unto me:

The sons of the foreigner, lost heart, and came quaking out of their fortresses.

Day, unto day, doth pour forth speech, and, night, unto night, doth breathe out knowledge.

Yet through all the earth, hath gone forth their voice, - and, to the end of the world, their sayings, - For the sun, hath he set up a tent therein;

And, he, is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, he rejoiceth as a hero to run a race:

Send thy help out of the sanctuary, and, out of Zion, sustain thee;

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.

Life, he asked of thee, Thou hast given it him, length of days, to times age-abiding and beyond.

Thy hand, will find out, all thy foes, Thine own right hand, will find out them who hate thee.

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:

Their fruit - out of the earth, wilt thou destroy, and their seed, from among the sons of men;

For they have held out, against thee, a wicked thing, They have devised a scheme they cannot accomplish.

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

They have opened wide against me their mouth, A lion rending and roaring.

Like water, am I poured out, and, put out of joint, are all my bones, - My heart, hath become, like wax, it is melted in the midst of my body;

But, thou, O Yahweh, be not far off, O my help! to aid me, make haste;

The patient wronged-ones shall eat and be satisfied, They shall praise Yahweh, who are seekers of him, Let your heart live for aye.

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:

For, he, upon the seas, hath founded it, and upon the currents, doth make it firm.

Yea let, none who wait for thee, be put to shame, Let them be put to shame who act covertly without cause!

For the sake of thy Name, O Yahweh, Therefore wilt thou pardon mine iniquity, for great it is.

Mine eyes, are continually unto Yahweh, - for, he, bringeth, out of the net, my feet.

The distresses of my heart, hath he relieved, - and, out of my straits, brought me forth.

Redeem Israel, O God, - out of all his distresses.

Point out to me, O Yahweh, thy way, - And guide me in a level path, because of mine adversaries.

Wait thou for Yahweh, - Be strong, and let thy heart be bold, Wait, then, for Yahweh!

The voice of Yahweh, is cleaving out flames of fire;

Yahweh, at the Flood, was seated, And Yahweh hath taken his seat, as king, unto times age-abiding.

O Yahweh! thou hast lifted, out of hades, my soul, Thou hast brought me back to life, from among those who were going down to the pit.

Sweep the strings to Yahweh, ye his men of lovingkindness, and give ye praise at the mention of his holiness.

What profit in my blood? in my going down into the pit? Can dust praise thee? Can it declare thy faithfulness?

Wilt thou bring me forth, out of the net which they have hidden for me? For, thou, art my refuge.

I have been forgotten, like one dead - out of mind, I have been as a missing vessel.

When I kept silence, my bones became worn out, Through my groaning all the day;

I will make thee discreet, I will point out to thee the way which thou must go, I will fix upon thee mine eye.

For, he, spake, and it was, He, commanded, and it stood forth.

Out of the heavens, hath Yahweh looked, He hath seen all the sons of men:

Out of his settled place of abode, hath he fixed his gaze on all the inhabitants of the earth:

Let me bless Yahweh at all times, Continually be his praise in my mouth.

I enquired of Yahweh, and he hath answered me, And, out of all my terrors, hath he rescued me.

This, oppressed one cried, and, Yahweh, heard - and, out of all his distresses, saved him.

Depart from wickedness and do good, Aim at well-being, and pursue it.

They made outcry, and Yahweh heard, And, out of all their straits, hath he rescued them.

Many are the misfortunes of the righteous, But, out of them all, doth Yahweh rescue him.

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;

My Lord! how long wilt thou look on? Bring back my soul out of their raging, from among lions, my solitary self.

Yea they have opened wide against me their mouth, They have said, Aha! Aha! our own eye, hath seen!

Let them turn pale, and then at once blush, who are rejoicing at my misfortune, - Let them be clothed with shame and confusion, who are magnifying themselves against me.

For he flattereth himself too much in his own eyes, to find his iniquity - to hate it .

They abundantly relish the fatness of thy house, - And out of the full stream of thine own pleasures, thou givest them to drink.

Be resigned to Yahweh, yea wait with longing for him; Burn not with vexation at him who prospereth in his way, - at the man who doeth wickedness.

Cease from anger, and forsake wrath, Burn not with vexation - it would be only to do evil;

For, evil doers, shall be cut off, but, as for them who wait for Yahweh, they, shall inherit the earth.

Yet a little, therefore, and the lawless one shall not be, Yea thou shalt look about, over his place - and he shall have vanished!

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

A sword, have the lawless, drawn out, and have trodden their bow, - To bring down the oppressed and the needy, To slaughter the upright in life:

Young, have I been, moreover am old, - Yet have I not seen, A righteous man forsaken, Nor his seed begging bread:

The lawless man, lieth in wait, for the just, and seeketh to put him to death:

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 have seen a lawless man, a tyrant, and spreading himself out, like a cedar in Lebanon;

Let me know, O Yahweh, mine end, And the measure of my days - what it is, I would know how short-lived I am.
