but his delight is in Yahweh's law. On his law he meditates day and night.

For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.

The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take counsel together, against Yahweh, and against his Anointed, saying,

I will tell of the decree. Yahweh said to me, "You are my son. Today I have become your father.

Serve Yahweh with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

Yahweh, how my adversaries have increased! Many are those who rise up against me.

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

I cry to Yahweh with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill. Selah.

I laid myself down and slept. I awakened; for Yahweh sustains me.

Arise, Yahweh! Save me, my God! For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone. You have broken the teeth of the wicked.

Salvation belongs to Yahweh. Your blessing be on your people. Selah. For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm by David.

But know that Yahweh has set apart for himself him who is godly: Yahweh will hear when I call to him.

Offer the sacrifices of righteousness. Put your trust in Yahweh.

Many say, "Who will show us any good?" Yahweh, let the light of your face shine on us.

In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you, Yahweh alone, make me live in safety. For the Chief Musician, with the flutes. A Psalm by David.

Give ear to my words, Yahweh. Consider my meditation.

Yahweh, in the morning you shall hear my voice. In the morning I will lay my requests before you, and will watch expectantly.

You will destroy those who speak lies. Yahweh abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

Lead me, Yahweh, in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your way straight before my face.

For you will bless the righteous. Yahweh, you will surround him with favor as with a shield. For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments, upon the eight-stringed lyre. A Psalm by David.

Yahweh, don't rebuke me in your anger, neither discipline me in your wrath.

Return, Yahweh. Deliver my soul, and save me for your loving kindness' sake.

Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, for Yahweh has heard the voice of my weeping.

Yahweh has heard my supplication. Yahweh accepts my prayer.

Yahweh, my God, I take refuge in you. Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me,

Yahweh, my God, if I have done this, if there is iniquity in my hands,

Arise, Yahweh, in your anger. Lift up yourself against the rage of my adversaries. Awake for me. You have commanded judgment.

Yahweh administers judgment to the peoples. Judge me, Yahweh, according to my righteousness, and to my integrity that is in me.

I will give thanks to Yahweh according to his righteousness, and will sing praise to the name of Yahweh Most High. For the Chief Musician; on an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by David.

Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! For the Chief Musician. Set to "The Death of the Son." A Psalm by David.

I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart. I will tell of all your marvelous works.

But Yahweh reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment.

Yahweh will also be a high tower for the oppressed; a high tower in times of trouble.

Those who know your name will put their trust in you, for you, Yahweh, have not forsaken those who seek you.

Sing praises to Yahweh, who dwells in Zion, and declare among the people what he has done.

Have mercy on me, Yahweh. See my affliction by those who hate me, and lift me up from the gates of death;

Yahweh has made himself known. He has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands. Meditation. Selah.

Arise, Yahweh! Don't let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your sight.

Put them in fear, Yahweh. Let the nations know that they are only men. Selah.

Why do you stand far off, Yahweh? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?

For the wicked boasts of his heart's cravings. He blesses the greedy, and condemns Yahweh.

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

Yahweh, you have heard the desire of the humble. You will prepare their heart. You will cause your ear to hear,

In Yahweh, I take refuge. How can you say to my soul, "Flee as a bird to your mountain!"

For Yahweh is righteous. He loves righteousness. The upright shall see his face. For the Chief Musician; upon an eight-stringed lyre. A Psalm of David.

The words of Yahweh are flawless words, as silver refined in a clay furnace, purified seven times.

You will keep them, Yahweh. You will preserve them from this generation forever.

How long, Yahweh? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

Behold, and answer me, Yahweh, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;

Yahweh, who shall dwell in your sanctuary? Who shall live on your holy hill?

In whose eyes a vile man is despised, but who honors those who fear Yahweh; he who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn't change;

My soul, you have said to Yahweh, "You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing."

Yahweh assigned my portion and my cup. You made my lot secure.

I will bless Yahweh, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.

I have set Yahweh always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

Hear, Yahweh, my righteous plea; Give ear to my prayer, that doesn't go out of deceitful lips.

Arise, Yahweh, confront him. Cast him down. Deliver my soul from the wicked by your sword;

from men by your hand, Yahweh, from men of the world, whose portion is in this life. You fill the belly of your cherished ones. Your sons have plenty, and they store up wealth for their children.

As for me, I shall see your face in righteousness. I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with seeing your form. For the Chief Musician. By David the servant of Yahweh, who spoke to Yahweh the words of this song in the day that Yahweh delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. He said,

I love you, Yahweh, my strength.

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

I call on Yahweh, who is worthy to be praised; and I am saved from my enemies.

In my distress I called on Yahweh, and cried to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple. My cry before him came into his ears.

Yahweh also thundered in the sky. The Most High uttered his voice: hailstones and coals of fire.

Then the channels of waters appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare at your rebuke, Yahweh, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.

They came on me in the day of my calamity, but Yahweh was my support.

Yahweh has rewarded me according to my righteousness. According to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.

For I have kept the ways of Yahweh, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

Therefore Yahweh has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.

For you will light my lamp, Yahweh. My God will light up my darkness.

As for God, his way is perfect. The word of Yahweh is tried. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.

For who is God, except Yahweh? Who is a rock, besides our God,

They cried, but there was none to save; even to Yahweh, but he didn't answer them.

Yahweh lives; and blessed be my rock. Exalted be the God of my salvation,

Therefore I will give thanks to you, Yahweh, among the nations, and will sing praises to your name.

Yahweh's law is perfect, restoring the soul. Yahweh's testimony is sure, making wise the simple.

Yahweh's precepts are right, rejoicing the heart. Yahweh's commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes.

The fear of Yahweh is clean, enduring forever. Yahweh's ordinances are true, and righteous altogether.

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, Yahweh, my rock, and my redeemer. For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.

May Yahweh answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high,

We will triumph in your salvation. In the name of our God, we will set up our banners. May Yahweh grant all your requests.

Now I know that Yahweh saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, with the saving strength of his right hand.

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust the name of Yahweh our God.

Save, Yahweh! Let the King answer us when we call! For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.

The king rejoices in your strength, Yahweh! How greatly he rejoices in your salvation!
