The plan of Yahweh stands firm forever, the intents of his heart {from one generation to the next}.

Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

From heaven Yahweh looks; he sees all the children of humankind.

From his house he keeps watch on all who are living on the earth;

He who fashioneth the hearts of them all, who considereth all their works.

There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.

An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.

Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;

Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield.

For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.

Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.

{A Psalm of David, when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech; who drove him away, and he departed.} I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.

O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.

I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

Those who look to Him are radiant with joy;
their faces will never be ashamed.

This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

A messenger of Jehovah is encamping, Round about those who fear Him, And He armeth them.

O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.

The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.

Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?

Then make sure you don't speak evil words or use deceptive speech!

Turn away from evil and do what is good;
seek peace and pursue it.

The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.

The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.

The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.

Evil will cause the death of the wicked,
And those who hate the righteous will be held guilty and will be condemned.

The Lord redeems the soul of His servants,
And none of those who take refuge in Him will be condemned.

{A Psalm of David.} Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.

Be a breastplate to me, and give me your help.

Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.

Let those be ashamed and dishonored who seek my life;
Let those be turned back [in defeat] and humiliated who plot evil against me.

Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD chase them.

Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them.

For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul.

There shall reach him a ruin he could not know, - Yea, his own net which he hath hidden, shall capture him, Into that ruin, shall he fall!

Then my soul shall rejoice in the Lord;
It shall rejoice in His salvation.

All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?

False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not.

They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul.

But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.

I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.

But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea, the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not:

Like godless jesters at a feast,
They gnashed at me with their teeth [in malice].

Lord, how long will You look on [without action]?
Rescue my life from their destructions,
My only life from the young lions.

I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people.

Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.

For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.

Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.

This thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.

Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.

Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.

Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.

Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against me.

Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long.

{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD.} The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.

The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good.

He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.

Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.

Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast.

How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.

They drink their fill of the abundance of Your house;
And You allow them to drink from the river of Your delights.

For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.

O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.

Let not the foot of pride come against me, And let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.

There, those who do evil have fallen; They have been thrown down, and they cannot get up. Davidic

{A Psalm of David.} Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.

Indeed, they soon will wither like grass, and like green herbs they will fade away.

Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

Delight yourself in the Lord,
And He will give you the desires and petitions of your heart.

Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

He will bring forth your righteousness as a light, and your justice as the noonday sun.

Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

Put an end to your wrath and be no longer bitter; do not give way to angry feeling which is a cause of sin.

For those who do evil will be cut off,
But those who wait for the Lord, they will inherit the land.

For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.

He will be laughed at by the Lord, who sees that his day is coming.

The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.

A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.

For [the] arms of [the] wicked shall be broken, but Yahweh supports [the] righteous.

Yahweh knows [the] days of [the] blameless, and their inheritance will be forever.

They are not ashamed in a time of evil, And in days of famine they are satisfied.

But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.

A lawless man borroweth, and will not repay, But, a righteous man, showeth favour and giveth;

For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.

The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.

Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.

I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.

Depart from evil and do good;
And you will dwell [securely in the land] forever.

For Yahweh loves justice and will not forsake his faithful ones. They are protected forever. But [the] children of [the] wicked will be cut off.

The mouth of a righteous man, softly uttereth wisdom, and, his tongue, speaketh justice:

The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.

A wicked man watches a righteous man, and seeks to kill him.

Yahweh will not abandon him into his hand, and he will not let him be condemned when he is judged.
