But, for himself, hath he made ready the weapons so deadly, His arrows, he, so fiery, would make:

The purpose of the poor, ye would put to shame, because, Yahweh, is his refuge.

Hear, O Yahweh, the right, Attend to my loud cry, Give ear unto my prayer, on lips that would not deceive:

Unto thee, O Yahweh, my soul, would I lift:

I have not sat with men of deceit, nor, with dissemblers, would I enter;

I have hated the convocation of evil-doers, and, with lawless men, would I not sit;

My sin, would I own unto thee, and, mine iniquity, not hide, I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Yahweh, And, thou, didst forgive the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

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

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

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.

Would not, God, have searched into this, Seeing that, he, knoweth the secrets of the heart?

If I were hungry, I would not tell thee, For, mine, is the world, and the fulness thereof.

Wilt thou cause me to hear joy and gladness? The bones thou hast crushed would exult.

I would teach transgressors thy ways, And, sinners, unto thee, should return.

Because of the noise of the enemy, By reason of the oppression of the lawless one, For they would let trouble drop upon me, And, in anger, would they entrap me.

My heart, would writhe within me, And, the terrors of Death, have fallen upon me:

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:

Lo! I would take a distant flight, I would tarry in the wilderness. Selah.

I would hasten mine escape, From rushing wind, from storm.

I would be a guest in thy tent to the ages, I would seek refuge in the concealment of thy wings. Selah.

Should I call thee to mind upon my conch, In the watches of the night, would I breathe soft speech of thee.

When, they, to crush it, would seek my life, They shall go into the lower parts of the earth:

Yet, he, full of compassion, would put a propitiatory-covering over iniquity, and not destroy, - Yea, many a time, turned he back his anger, And would not stir up all his wrath.

If, my people, were hearkening unto me, If, Israel, in my ways, would walk,

Right soon, their foes, would I subdue, And, against their adversaries, would I turn my hand:

Then would he feed them from the marrow of the wheat, Yea, out of the rock - with honey, would I satisfy thee.

For they have taken counsel with one heart, Against thee - a covenant, would they solemnize -

Then would he have bidden to destroy them, - had not Moses his chosen, stood in the breach before him, To turn back his wrath from destroying.

So he lifted up his hand unto them, that he would let them fall in the desert;

And would disperse their seed among the nations, and would scatter them throughout the lands.

Because he standeth at the right hand of the needy, To save, from them who would pass sentence on his life.

Oh would that my ways might be settled! that I might keep thy statutes.

[HETH] My portion, is Yahweh, I have promised that I would keep thy words.

We would enter his habitations, we would bow down at his footstool.

I would recount them! Beyond the sands, they multiply, I rouse myself - and am still with thee.

Do not grant, O Yahweh, the desires of the lawless one, his device, do not promote, They would exalt themselves. Selah.
