For I am poor and needy, And my heart hath been pierced in my midst.

I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.

My knees are feeble for need of food; there is no fat on my bones.

I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads.

Give me help, O Lord my God; in your mercy be my saviour;

That they may know that, Thine own hand, this is, Thou, Yahweh, hast done it.

Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.

Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.

I thank Jehovah greatly with my mouth, And in the midst of many I praise Him,

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

{A Psalm of David} The LORD said unto my LORD, "Sit thou on my righthand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool."

The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.

Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.

The Lord has sworn an oath and will not take it back:
“Forever, You are a priest
like Melchizedek.”

The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.

He will judge among the nations, He will fill the places with dead bodies; He will strike through the head in many countries.

He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.

Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.

Great are the works of Jehovah; sought out of all that delight in them.

His work is worthy to be praised and had in honour, and his righteousness endureth forever.

The merciful and gracious LORD hath so done his marvelous works, that they ought to be had in remembrance.

He has given food to those who fear Him [with awe-inspired reverence];
He will remember His covenant forever.

He hath showed his people the power of his works, In giving them the heritage of the nations.

They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.

Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.

His seed shall be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth; He shall maintain his cause in judgment.

Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.

Sustained is his heart -- he feareth not, Till that he look on his adversaries.

He has given freely to the poor;
His righteousness endures forever;
His horn will be exalted in honor.

The wicked will see it and be angered,
He will gnash his teeth and melt away [in despair and death];
The desire of the wicked will perish and come to nothing.

Let blessing be on the name of the Lord, from this time and for ever.

From the rising of the sun unto its going in, Praised is the name of Jehovah.

Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high,

Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!

in order to seat them with nobles—
with the nobles of His people.

Causing the barren one of the house to sit, A joyful mother of sons; praise ye Jah!

When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

The sea saw it, and went in flight; Jordan was turned back.

What was wrong with you, O sea, that you went in flight? O Jordan, that you were turned back?

Before the Lord, be in anguish, O earth, Before the GOD of Jacob:

Not unto us, O Yahweh, not unto us, - but, unto thine own Name, give glory, concerning thy lovingkindness, concerning thy faithfulness.

But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.

[they have] their hands, but they cannot feel, their feet, but they cannot walk; they cannot utter a sound in their throats.

They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.

O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

The Lord has kept us in mind and will give us his blessing; he will send blessings on the house of Israel and on the house of Aaron.

He will send blessings on the worshippers of the Lord, on the small and on the great.

Jehovah shall add on to you, even on you and on your sons.

Because he has turned his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.

The nets of death were round me, and the pains of the underworld had me in their grip; I was full of trouble and sorrow.

And in the name of Jehovah I call: I pray Thee, O Jehovah, deliver my soul,

Yahweh, preserveth the simple, I was brought low, when, to me, he granted salvation.

Turn back, O my soul, to thy rest, For Jehovah hath conferred benefits on thee.

I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.

I believed [and clung to my God] when I said,
“I am greatly afflicted.”

I said in my haste, All men are liars.

The cup of salvation I lift up, And in the name of Jehovah I call.

I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.

Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.

Behold, O LORD, how that I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thy handmaid. Thou hast broken my bonds in sunder.

To Thee I sacrifice a sacrifice of thanks, And in the name of Jehovah I call.

I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people,

In the courts of the LORD'S house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.

For his loyal love [is] mighty on our behalf, and the faithfulness of Yahweh [is] forever. Praise Yah!

I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place.

The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?

Jehovah is on my side among them that help me: Therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.

It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.

It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.

All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them.

They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.

They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.

The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.

The hand of Jah has been hard on me; but he has not given me up to death.

Let the doors of righteousness be open to me; I will go in and give praise to the Lord.

This is the door of the Lord's house; the workers of righteousness will go in through it.

I will give you praise, for you have given me an answer, and have become my salvation.

The stone which the builders put on one side has become the chief stone of the building.

This is the LORD'S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.

This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.

Yahweh is GOD, and hath shed on us light, - Bind ye the festal sacrifice with cords, Up to the horns of the altar.

ALEPH. Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.

They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.

Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.

I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.

Beth.
How can a young man keep his way pure?
By keeping watch [on himself] according to Your word [conforming his life to Your precepts].

With all my heart I have sought You, [inquiring of You and longing for You];
Do not let me wander from Your commandments [neither through ignorance nor by willful disobedience].

Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches.

I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.

I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.

Gimel. Confer benefits on Thy servant, I live, and I keep Thy word.

Open my eyes so that I may contemplate
wonderful things from Your instruction.
