Blessed is the man who does not walk in the advice of [the] wicked; nor does he stand in [the] way of sinners; nor does he sit in [the] assembly of mockers.

[He who] sits [enthroned] in the heavens laughs. The Lord derides them.

Kiss the Son lest he be angry and you perish [on the] way, for his anger burns quickly. Blessed are all [who] take refuge in him.

But you, Yahweh, [are] a shield around me, my glory and the one who lifts up my head.

I am not afraid of the ten thousands of people who all around have set themselves against me.

Many are saying, "Who will show us [something] good?" Lift up over us the light of your face, O Yahweh.

For you [are] not a God [who] desires wickedness. Evil cannot dwell with you.

But let all who take shelter in you rejoice. Let them ever sing for joy, {because} you spread protection over them; And let those [who] love your name exult in you.

For there is no remembrance of you in death. In Sheol, who will give thanks to you?

O Yahweh, my God, in you I have taken refuge. Save me from all [who] pursue me, and deliver me.

My shield [is] with God who saves the upright of heart.

God [is] a righteous judge, and a God who has indignation every day.

Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic [is] your name in all the earth, who put your splendor above the heavens.

And those who know your name will trust in you, for you do not forsake those [who] seek you, O Yahweh.

Sing [praises] to Yahweh [who] sits [enthroned] in Zion. Tell his deeds among the peoples,

for he [who] {avenges bloodshed} remembers them. He does not forget the distressed cry of [the] afflicted.

Be gracious to me, O Yahweh. See my suffering from [those who] hate me, [you who] lift me up from the gates of death,

[those] who say, "With our tongue we will prevail. Our lips [are] on our side. Who [is] master over us?"

[The] fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt. They do abominable deeds. There is none who does good.

Yahweh looks down from heaven upon the children of humankind to see whether there is one who has insight, one who cares about God.

All have gone astray; they are altogether corrupt. There is not one who does good; there is not even one.

All who do evil--do they not know, [they] who eat my people [as though] they were eating bread? They do not call on Yahweh.

O Yahweh, who may reside in your tent? Who may dwell on your holy mountain?

He who walks blamelessly and does what is right. He who speaks honestly in his heart.

In his eyes a rejected one [is] contemptible, but he honors those who respect Yahweh. He takes an oath to [his own] injury and does not retract it.

He does not lend his money at interest, and does not take a bribe against [the] innocent. He who does these [things] will never be shaken.

With regard to [the] saints who [are] in the land, they [are the] noble ones in [whom is] all my desire.

Those [who] hurry [after] another [god] increase their sorrows. I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood, nor take up their names on my lips.

I will bless Yahweh who advises me; yes, [at] night my {innermost being} instructs me.

Show wondrously your acts of loyal love, O Savior of those who take refuge at your right hand from those who rise up against [them].

from [the] {presence} of [the] wicked who destroy me, [those] enemies against my life, [they that] surround me.

Yahweh [is] my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock in whom I have taken refuge, my shield and the horn of my deliverance, my stronghold.

I called upon Yahweh, who is worthy to be praised, and I was saved from my enemies.

He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from [those who] hated me because they were stronger than I.

This God--his way [is] blameless. The word of Yahweh [is] flawless. He [is] a shield for all those who take refuge in him.

For who [is] God apart from Yahweh, and who [is] a rock except our God?

The God who girded me [with] strength, and made safe my way,

And you {made my enemies turn their backs}, then I destroyed those [who] hated me.

the God who executed vengeance for me, and subdued peoples under me,

who delivered me from my enemies. Indeed, you exalted me higher than [those who] rose against me. You delivered me from the man of violence.

the one who makes great victories for his king, and [who] shows loyal love for his anointed, to David and to his descendants forever.

and it [is] like a bridegroom who comes out of his bridal chamber. It is glad like a strong man to run [its] course.

Who can perceive [his] errors? Acquit me from hidden [faults].

Your hand will find all your enemies; your right hand will find those who hate you.

All [who] see me mock me. They open wide [their] lips; they shake [the] head, [saying]:

You who revere Yahweh, praise him! Glorify him, all [you] seed of Jacob, and be in awe of him, all [you] seed of Israel,

From you [is] my praise. In [the] great assembly, I will pay my vows before those who revere him.

[The] afflicted will eat and will be satisfied. Those who seek him will praise Yahweh. May your heart live forever.

All [the] {healthy ones} of [the] earth will eat and worship. Before him all [of] those descending [into the] dust will kneel, even he [who] cannot keep his soul alive.

The earth is Yahweh's, with its fullness, [the] world and those who live in it,

Who may ascend [the] mountain of Yahweh? And who may stand in his holy place?

He who is innocent of hands and pure of heart, who does not lift up his soul to falseness, and does not swear deceitfully.

Such [is the] sort of those who seek him, those who seek your face, even Jacob. Selah

Who [is] the king of glory? Yahweh, strong and mighty; Yahweh, mighty in war!

Who is the king of glory? Yahweh of hosts, He [is] the king of glory! Selah

Indeed, none who wait for you should be put to shame. Those who betray without cause should be put to shame.

All the paths of Yahweh [are] loyal love and faithfulness for those who keep his covenant and statutes.

Who [is] the man fearing Yahweh? He will instruct him in [the] way he should choose.

Intimate fellowship with Yahweh [is] for those who fear him, and [he] makes known his covenant to them.

Yahweh [is] my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? Yahweh [is] the refuge of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

When evildoers drew near against me to eat my flesh-- my adversaries and my enemies [who drew near] to me-- they themselves stumbled and fell.

Do not drag me away with [the] wicked or with [the] workers of evil, [who] speak of peace with their neighbors, while evil [is] in their heart.

Because of all my adversaries I have become a disgrace, especially to my neighbors, and a dread to my acquaintances. [Those who] see me in the street flee from me.

My times [are] in your hand. Deliver me from the hand of my enemies and from [those who] pursue me.

How abundant [is] your goodness that you have stored up for [those who] fear you, that you perform for those who take refuge in you before [the] children of humankind.

Love Yahweh, all you his faithful ones. Yahweh preserves [the] faithful but repays abundantly [the] one who acts arrogantly.

Be strong and let your heart show strength, all [you] who wait for Yahweh.

Happy [is] a person to whom Yahweh does not impute iniquity and in whose spirit there is not deceit.

Many are [the] pains of the wicked, but [for] the one who trusts Yahweh loyal love surrounds him.

he who fashions altogether their heart, he who understands all their works.

Behold, the eye of Yahweh [is] on those who fear him, on those who hope for his loyal love

The angel of Yahweh encamps around [those who] fear him, and he rescues them.

Taste and see that Yahweh [is] good; blessed [is] the man [who] takes refuge in him.

Fear Yahweh, [you] his saints, for there is no lack for [those who] fear him.

[The] young lions are in want and suffer hunger, but those who seek Yahweh will not lack for any good thing.

Who [is] the man who desires life, who loves [many] days in order to see good?

Yahweh [is] near to [those who are] heartbroken and saves [those who are] crushed in spirit.

Evil will slay [the] wicked, and [those who] hate [the] righteous will incur guilt.

Yahweh redeems the life of his servants, and none who take refuge in him will incur guilt.

Contend, O Yahweh, with my contenders; fight [those who] fight me.

And draw [the] spear and javelin to meet [those who] pursue me. Say to my soul, "I [am] your salvation."

Let those who seek my life be shamed and humiliated. Let those who plot calamity against me be repulsed and ashamed.

All of my bones shall say, "O Yahweh, who [is] like you, who delivers [the] poor from [one] stronger than he and [the] poor and needy from [the one who] robs him?"

But at my stumbling they rejoiced and gathered together; smiters whom I did not know gathered against me. They tore and did not cease.

Let not those who [are] wrongfully my enemies rejoice over me. [Nor let] those who hate me without cause wink [the] eye.

Let them be shamed and abashed altogether, who rejoice at my misfortune. Let them put on shame and insult, who magnify themselves against me.

Let them shout for joy and be glad, who delight in my vindication; and let them say continually, "Yahweh is great, who delights in the welfare of his servant."

Prolong your loyal love to those who know you, and your righteousness to [the] upright of heart.

Be quiet before Yahweh and wait for him. Do not fret about one who succeeds [in] his way, about a man making plots.

For evildoers will be cut off, but those who wait for Yahweh-- they will possess [the] land.

Those who seek my life lay snares as well, and those intent on my harm speak threats. They also plot deceit all day.

But as for me, like [the] deaf I cannot hear, and [I am] like [the] mute [who] cannot open his mouth.

And [so] I am like a man who hears not, and in whose mouth there are no retorts.

And my enemies without cause are numerous, and those who hate me wrongfully are many.

And those who repay evil in return for good accuse me in return for my pursuing good.

Surely a man walks about as a [mere] {shadow}; surely in vain they bustle about. He heaps up [possessions] but does not know who [will] gather them [in].

Blessed [is] the man who makes Yahweh his trust and does not turn to [the] proud and [to those who] fall away [to] a lie.

Let them be shamed and abashed altogether who seek to take away my life. Let them be repulsed and humiliated [who] desire my harm.

Let them be appalled because of their shame, those who say to me, "Aha! Aha!"

Let them rejoice and be glad in you, all those who seek you. Let them say continually, "Yahweh is great!" --those who love your salvation.
