But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and in his law will he exercise himself, day and night.

He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper.

Therefore [the] wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of [the] righteous;

for Yahweh knows [the] way of [the] righteous, but [the] way of [the] wicked will perish.

Why do the nations rebel? Why are the countries devising plots that will fail?

The kings of the earth will place themselves, and the princes sat down together against Jehovah and against his Messiah.

We will tear away his bands, and we will cast away his cords from us.

He who sits in the heavens will laugh. The Lord will have them in derision.

Then will he speak to them in his anger, and in his fierce displeasure will he terrify them:

I will tell the decree; Yahweh said to me: "You are my son; today I have begotten you.

Ask from me and I will make [the] nations your heritage, and your possession [the] ends of [the] earth.

You will break them with an iron rod. Like a potter's vessel you will shatter them."

Give sincere homage to the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, for his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him. A Psalm by David, when he fled from Absalom his son.

Many say about me, "God will not deliver him." (Selah)

With my voice will I call to Jehovah, and he will answer me from the hill of his holiness. Selah.

I lay down and I, shall sleep; I awaked: for Jehovah will uphold me.

I will not fear for myriads of the people that have set themselves against me round about.

Rise up, Lord! Deliver me, my God! Yes, you will strike all my enemies on the jaw; you will break the teeth of the wicked.

For the music director, to be accompanied by stringed instruments; a psalm of David. When I call out, answer me, O God who vindicates me! Though I am hemmed in, you will lead me into a wide, open place. Have mercy on me and respond to my prayer!

O sons of man, how long will my honor be a disgrace? [How long] will you love vanity? [How long] will you seek lies? Selah

But know that Jehovah hath set apart the pious man for himself: Jehovah will hear when I call unto him.

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

In peace I will lie down and sleep {at once}, for you alone, O Yahweh, make me dwell safely.

Hearken unto the voice of my crying, my king and my God; for to thee will I pray.

O Yahweh, in [the] morning you will hear my voice. In [the] morning I will set forth [my case] to you and I will watch.

Indeed, you aren't a God who delights in wickedness; evil will never dwell with you.

Boastful ones will not stand before you; you hate all those who practice wickedness.

Thou wilt destroy them that speak lies: Jehovah abhorreth a man of blood and deceit.

{But as for me}, through the abundance of your steadfast love I will enter your house. I will bow down toward {your holy temple} in awe [of] you.

Not steadfast in his mouth; the midst of them mischiefs; their throat a grave opened; they will be smooth with their tongue,

And all that trust in thee shall rejoice: for ever shall they shout joyously, and thou wilt protect them; and they that love thy name shall exult in thee.

For thou, Jehovah, wilt bless the righteous man; with favour wilt thou surround him as with a shield.

To the overseer upon the stringed instruments upon the octave, chanting of David. O Jehovah, not in thine anger wilt thou correct me, and not in thy wrath wilt thou chastise me.

I am absolutely terrified, and you, Lord -- how long will this continue?

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

The LORD has heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.

All mine enemies shall be ashamed and tremble exceedingly; they will turn, they will be ashamed suddenly.

Or else he will tear me apart like a lion, ripping to pieces, with none [to] deliver.

If I rewarded evil him being at peace with me; (and I will deliver mine enemy undeservedly:)

The enemy will pursue my soul, and overtake; and he will tread down my life to the earth, and he will cause mine honor to dwell upon the dust Silence.

And the congregation of the peoples shall surround You; and over it You will return on high.

Yahweh, will judge the peoples, - Do me justice, O Yahweh, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity upon me,

Now shall the evil of the unjust come to an end; and thou wilt direct the just one: for the just God tried hearts and reins.

If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.

And he prepared to himself the instruments of death; he will work his arrows for those inflaming.

Behold, lie will bring forth vanity, and he conceived trouble, and he will bring forth falsehood.

He dug a pit, and he will dig it out, and he will fall into the pitfall he will make.

His mischief will return upon his own head,
And his violence will descend upon his own pate.

I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.

To the overseer upon the stringed instrument, chanting of David. O Jehovah our Lord, how mighty thy name in all the earth! who will set thy majesty over the heavens.

For I will consider thy heavens, even the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars which thou hast ordained.

What is man that thou wilt remember him? and the son of man that thou wilt review him?

And thou wilt diminish him a little more than the messengers, and thou wilt surround him with glory and honor.

And thou wilt give him dominion over the works of thy hands; thou didst put all under his feet:

sheep and cattle, all of them, and also [the] wild animals of [the] field,

{To the chief Musician upon Muthlabben, A Psalm of David.} I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.

I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.

When my enemies turn back, they will stumble and perish because of your presence.

But, Yahweh, unto times age-abiding, will sit, Ready for judgment, is his throne;

And he will judge [the] world with righteousness. He will judge [the] peoples with equity.

The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.

And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

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

The wicked will return to Sheol—
all the nations that forget God.

For the oppressed will not always be forgotten;
the hope of the afflicted will not perish forever.

Rise up, LORD, do not let man prevail! The nations will be judged in your presence.

Why do You stand afar off, O Jehovah? Will You hide in times of trouble?

In the pride of the unjust he will burn the poor: they shall be taken in the devices that they purposed.

The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.

His ways will be in pain in all time; thy judgments high from before him: all his enemies he will puff at them.

He says in his heart, "I shall not be moved {throughout all generations}, [during] which [I will have] no trouble."

Sitting in ambush of the enclosures: in hiding-places he will slay the innocent: his eyes will be hid to the afflicted.

He will lie in wait in secret as the lion in her den: he will lie in wait to catch the poor one: he will catch the poor one in drawing him into his net

And crushing, he will bow down, and cast down the afflicted by his strong ones.

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

Arise, O Jehovah; O God, lift up thine hand: thou wilt not forget the poor.

Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.

Thou sawest; for thou wilt look upon trouble and anger, to give with thine hand: the poor will be left to thee; thou wert the helper of the orphan.

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 forever and ever! The nations will perish out of his land.

LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:

to render judgment [for the] fatherless and [the] oppressed [so that] a [mere] mortal from the earth will no longer cause terror.

In the Lord put I my faith; how will you say to my soul, Go in flight like a bird to the mountain?

For behold, the unjust will bend the bow, they prepared their arrow upon the cord, they will shoot in darkness the upright of heart

For the foundations will be cast down, and what hath the righteous done?

Jehovah is in his holy temple; Jehovah, in the heavens his throne: his eyes will behold, his eyelashes will try the sons of man.

Jehovah will try the just one: and the unjust and him loving violence, his soul hated.

He will rain coals on [the] wicked. Burning sulfur and scorching wind [will be] the portion of their cup.

For the Lord is righteous; He loves righteous deeds.
The upright will see His face.

They will speak vanity each with his neighbor: smooth lips, with a heart and a heart will they speak

Jehovah will cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that speaketh proud things,

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

For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.

You, O Yahweh, will protect them. You will preserve him from this generation always.

{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.} How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

How long must I take counsel in my soul, [and] sorrow in my heart [all the] day? How long will my enemy be exalted over me?

Consider me and answer, Lord my God.
Restore brightness to my eyes;
otherwise, I will sleep in death.

My enemy will say, “I have triumphed over him,”
and my foes will rejoice because I am shaken.

But as for me, I have trusted in your steadfast love. My heart will rejoice in your deliverance.

I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
