Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked, Nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers:

But his delight is in the law of Jehovah; And on his law doth he meditate day and night.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water, That bringeth forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also doth not wither; And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

He that sitteth in the heavens will laugh: The Lord will have them in derision.

Then will he speak unto them in his wrath, And vex them in his sore displeasure:

Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way, For his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all they that take refuge in him.

Many there are that say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah

Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness; Thou hast set me at large when I was in distress: Have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

But know that Jehovah hath set apart for himself him that is godly: Jehovah will hear when I call unto him.

Stand in awe, and sin not: Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah

Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, And put your trust in Jehovah.

Thou hast put gladness in my heart, More than they have when their grain and their new wine are increased.

In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; For thou, Jehovah, alone makest me dwell in safety.

O Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; In the morning will I order my prayer unto thee, and will keep watch.

For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: Evil shall not sojourn with thee.

The arrogant shall not stand in thy sight: Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

But as for me, in the abundance of thy lovingkindness will I come into thy house: In thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.

Lead me, O Jehovah, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; Make thy way straight before my face.

For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; Their inward part is very wickedness; Their throat is an open sepulchre; They flatter with their tongue.

Hold them guilty, O God; Let them fall by their own counsels; Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions; For they have rebelled against thee.

But let all those that take refuge in thee rejoice, Let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: Let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger, Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

For in death there is no remembrance of thee: In Sheol who shall give thee thanks?

O Jehovah my God, in thee do I take refuge: Save me from all them that pursue me, and deliver me,

Lest they tear my soul like a lion, Rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

O Jehovah my God, if I have done this; If there be iniquity in my hands;

Let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it; Yea, let him tread my life down to the earth, And lay my glory in the dust. Selah

Arise, O Jehovah, in thine anger; Lift up thyself against the rage of mine adversaries, And awake for me; thou hast commanded judgment.

And let the congregation of the peoples compass thee about; And over them return thou on high.

Jehovah ministereth judgment to the peoples: Judge me, O Jehovah, according to my righteousness, and to mine integrity that is in me.

O let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish thou the righteous: For the righteous God trieth the minds and hearts.

My shield is with God, Who saveth the upright in heart.

His mischief shall return upon his own head, And his violence shall come down upon his own pate.

O Jehovah, our Lord, How excellent is thy name in all the earth, Who hast set thy glory upon the heavens!

When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, The moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

O Jehovah, our Lord, How excellent is thy name in all the earth!

I will be glad and exult in thee; I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High.

When mine enemies turn back, They stumble and perish at thy presence.

For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; Thou sittest in the throne judging righteously.

The enemy are come to an end, they are desolate for ever; And the cities which thou hast overthrown, The very remembrance of them is perished.

And he will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to the peoples in uprightness.

Jehovah also will be a high tower for the oppressed, A high tower in times of trouble;

And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; For thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

Sing praises to Jehovah, who dwelleth in Zion: Declare among the people his doings.

That I may show forth all thy praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in thy salvation.

The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made: In the net which they hid is their own foot taken.

Jehovah hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment: The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah

Arise, O Jehovah; let not man prevail: Let the nations be judged in thy sight.

Put them in fear, O Jehovah: Let the nations know themselves to be but men. Selah

Why standest thou afar off, O Jehovah? Why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?

In the pride of the wicked the poor is hotly pursued; Let them be taken in the devices that they have conceived.

The wicked, in the pride of his countenance,'saith , He will not require it . All his thoughts are, There is no God.

He saith in his heart, I shall not be moved; To all generations I shall not be in adversity.

He sitteth in the lurking-places of the villages; In the secret places doth he murder the innocent; His eyes are privily set against the helpless.

He lurketh in secret as a lion in his covert; He lieth in wait to catch the poor: He doth catch the poor, when he draweth him in his net.

He saith in his heart, God hath forgotten; He hideth his face; he will never see it.

Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God, And say in his heart, Thou wilt not require it ?

In Jehovah do I take refuge: How say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain;

For, lo, the wicked bend the bow, They make ready their arrow upon the string, That they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart;

Jehovah is in his holy temple; Jehovah, his throne is in heaven; His eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.

They speak falsehood every one with his neighbor: With flattering lip, and with a double heart, do they speak.

Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; Our lips are our own: who is lord over us?

Because of the oppression of the poor, because of the sighing of the needy, Now will I arise, saith Jehovah; I will set him in the safety he panteth for.

The words of Jehovah are pure words; As silver tried in a furnace on the earth, Purified seven times.

The wicked walk on every side, When vileness is exalted among the sons of men.

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, Having sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; Lest mine adversaries rejoice when I am moved.

But I have trusted in thy lovingkindness; My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works; There is none that doeth good.

They are all gone aside; they are together become filthy; There is none that doeth good, no, not one.

There were they in great fear; For God is in the generation of the righteous.

Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When Jehovah bringeth back the captivity of his people, Then shall Jacob rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

Jehovah, who shall sojourn in thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell in thy holy hill?

He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, And speaketh truth in his heart;

In whose eyes a reprobate is despised, But who honoreth them that fear Jehovah; He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not;

Preserve me, O God; for in thee do I take refuge.

As for the saints that are in the earth, They are the excellent in whom is all my delight.

The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; Yea, I have a goodly heritage.

I will bless Jehovah, who hath given me counsel; Yea, my heart instructeth me in the night seasons.

Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth; My flesh also shall dwell in safety.

For thou wilt not leave my soul to Sheol; Neither wilt thou suffer thy holy one to see corruption.

Thou wilt show me the path of life: In thy presence is fulness of joy; In thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

Thou hast proved my heart; thou hast visited me in the night; Thou hast tried me, and findest nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.

Show thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them that take refuge in thee From those that rise up against them .

They are inclosed in their own fat: With their mouth they speak proudly.

They have now compassed us in our steps; They set their eyes to cast us down to the earth.

He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey, And as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.

From men by thy hand, O Jehovah, From men of the world, whose portion is in this life, And whose belly thou fillest with thy treasure: They are satisfied with children, And leave the rest of their substance to their babes.

As for me, I shall behold thy face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with beholding thy form.

Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; My God, my rock, in whom I will take refuge; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.

In my distress I called upon Jehovah, And cried unto my God: He heard my voice out of his temple, And my cry before him came into his ears.

Jehovah also thundered in the heavens, And the Most High uttered his voice, Hailstones and coals of fire.

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

They came upon me in the day of my calamity; But Jehovah was my stay.

He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me, because he delighted in me.

Therefore hath Jehovah recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.

As for God, his way is perfect: The word of Jehovah is tried; He is a shield unto all them that take refuge in him.

Their line is gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
