Even rulers have taken their seat, against me, have talked, Thy servant, will still meditate in thy statutes.

The way of thy precepts, cause thou me to understand, and I will indeed meditate in thy wonders.

The way of thy commandments, will I run, for thou wilt enlarge my heart.

Insolent men have plastered falsehood over me, I, with a whole heart, will observe thy precepts.

Let insolent men, be ashamed, because, by means of falsehood, they have dealt with me perversely, I, will meditate in thy precepts.

Mine eyes have failed for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?

How few are the days of thy servant! When wilt thou execute sentence on my persecutors?

According to thy lovingkindness, give thou me life, so will I keep the testimonies of thy mouth.

Unto times age-abiding, will I not forget thy precepts, For, by them, hast thou given me life.

For me, have the lawless waited, to destroy me, Thy testimonies, will I diligently consider.

Beyond mine enemies, will thy commandment make me wise, for, age-abidingly, shall it be mine.

Beyond the elders, will I show understanding, for, thy precepts, have I observed.

Out of thy precepts, will I get understanding, For this cause, do I hate every false way.

Set me free from the oppression of man, so will I keep thy precepts.

[KOPH] I have cried out with all my heart, answer me, O Yahweh; Thy statutes, will I observe.

I will lift up mine eyes, unto the mountains, From whence cometh my help!

Lo! neither will slumber nor sleep, The keeper of Israel.

Yahweh, will keep thee from all harm, He will keep thy life.

Yahweh, will keep thy going out and thy coming in, from henceforth, even unto times age-abiding.

For the sake of the house of Yahweh our God, will I seek blessing for thee.

As for them who turn aside unto their crooked ways, Yahweh, will lead them forth, with the workers of iniquity, Prosperity on Israel!

How happy the man who hath filled his quiver with them! They will not be ashamed, but will speak with enemies in the gate.

Yahweh will bless thee, out of Zion, - and behold thou the welfare of Jerusalem, all the days of thy life!

He, therefore, will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

Surely I will not enter the home of my own house, nor ascend my curtained couch;

I will not give sleep to mine eyes, nor, to mine eye-lashes, slumber:

Yahweh hath sworn unto David, in faithfulness, will he not turn from it, - Of the fruit of thy body, will I seat on thy throne.

If thy sons keep my covenant, and my testimony which I will teach them, even their sons, unto futurity, shall sit on thy throne.

This, is my place of rest unto futurity, Here, will I dwell, for I have desired it;

Her provision, will I abundantly bless, Her needy ones, will I satisfy with bread;

And, her priests, will I clothe with salvation, and, her men of lovingkindness, shall, shout aloud, for joy;

There, will I cause to bud a horn to David, I have prepared a lamp for mine Anointed One;

His enemies, will I clothe with shame, but, upon himself, shall his crown be resplendent.

For Yahweh will vindicate his people, - and, on his servants, have compassion.

I will give thee thanks with all my heart, Before the messengers of God, will I praise thee in song:

I will bow down towards thy holy temple, and thank thy Name, for thy lovingkindness and for thy faithfulness, For thou hast magnified, above all thy Name, thy word!

All the kings of the earth, will thank thee, O Yahweh, when they have heard the sayings of thy mouth;

And they will sing of the ways of Yahweh, That great is the glory of Yahweh:

Though I walk in the midst of distress, thou wilt give me life, - Because of the anger of my foes, thou wilt thrust forth thy hand, and thy right hand, will save me:

Yahweh, will carry through my cause, - O Yahweh! thy lovingkindness, is age-abiding, The works of thine own hands, do not thou desert.

Even darkness, will not conceal from thee, - but, night, like day, will shine, So is the darkness, as the light!

Wilt thou not, O GOD, slay the lawless one? Therefore, ye men of bloodshed, depart from me!

Rescue me, O Yahweh, from the men of mischief, From the men of violence, wilt thou preserve me:

Keep me, O Yahweh, from the hands of the lawless one, From the man of violence, wilt thou preserve me, - who have devised, to thrust at my steps:

I know that Yahweh will execute, the right of the oppressed one, the vindication of the needy.

O bring forth, out of prison, my soul, That I may give thanks unto thy Name, - About me, let the righteous gather round, for thou wilt deal bountifully with me.

O God! a new song, will I sing unto thee, - On a harp of ten strings, will I make music to thee:

I will extol thee, my God, O King, and will bless thy Name, to times age-abiding and beyond:

The splendour of the glory of thy majesty, shall they speak, and, thy wonders, will I utter.

And, the might of thy terrible acts, shall men speak, and, as for thy greatness, I will recount it.

All thy works, O Yahweh, will give thanks unto thee, - and, thy men of lovingkindness, will bless thee:

The glory of thy kingdom, will they tell, - and, thy power, will they speak.

The desire of them who revere him, will he fulfil, and, their cry, will he hear, and will save them.

Yahweh preserveth all who love him, but, all the lawless, will he destroy.

I will praise Yahweh while I live! I will make melody to my God while I continue!

Yahweh, will reign, to times age-abiding, Thy God, O Zion, to generation after generation. Praise ye Yah!

Yahweh, is building Jerusalem, The outcasts of Israel, will he gather together.

Thou wild-beast, and all ye cattle, crawling creature, and bird of wing;

For Yahweh is taking pleasure in his people, He will beautify humbled ones with victory.

A wise man, will hear, and will increase learning, and a, discreet man, wise counsels, will acquire,

How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and, scoffers, in scoffing, delight them? and, dullards, hate knowledge?

Will ye turn, at my reproof? Lo! I will pour out to you my spirit, I will make known my words to you.

I also, at your calamity, will laugh, I will mock, when cometh your dread;

Then, will they call me, but I will not answer, they will seek me diligently, but shall not find me.

For, the turning away of the simple, will slay them, - and, the carelessness of dullards, will destroy them.

My son, if thou wilt receive my sayings, and, my commandments, wilt treasure up by thee;

In all thy ways, acknowledge him, and, he, will make straight thy paths.

For, Yahweh, will be in all thy ways, and will keep thy foot from the snare.

Do not say to thy neighbour, Go and come again, and to-morrow I will give, when thou hast it by thee.

Do not forsake her, and she will guard thee, - love her and she will keep thee.

Exalt her, and she will set thee on high, she will bring thee to honour, when thou dust embrace her:

She will give for thy head, a wreath of beauty, A crown of adorning, will she bestow upon thee.

Hear, my son, and receive my sayings, and they will multiply to thee the years of life.

Her feet, are going down to death, - on hades, will her steps take firm hold.

How long, O sluggard, wilt thou lie? how long ere thou rise from thy sleep?

For, jealousy, is the rage of a man, nor will he spare, in the day of avenging;

He will not look, at any ransom, neither will he consent, though thou increase the bribe.

And lo! a woman, came to meet him, attired as one unchaste, of a wily heart.

A bag of silver, hath he taken in his hand, On the day of the full moon, will he enter his house.

Hear, for, princely things, will I speak, and the opening of my lips shall be of equity;

Do not reprove a scoffer, lest he hate thee, Reprove a wise man, and he will love thee.

Give to a wise man, and he will be wiser still, Inform a righteous man, and he will increase learning.

Stolen waters, will be sweet, - and a secret meal, will be pleasant;

The wise in heart, will accept commandments, but, he that is foolish with his lips, shall be thrust away.

With no guidance, a people will fall, but, safety, lieth in the greatness of the counsellor.

He that keepeth back corn, the populace will curse him, but there is, a blessing, for the head of him that selleth.

A good man, obtaineth favour from Yahweh, but, a man of wicked devices, will he condemn.

A faithful witness, will not deceive, but a false witness, uttereth deceitful things.

By all labour, there will be abundance, but, the talk of the lips, tendeth only to want.

The house of proud men, will Yahweh tear down, but he will maintain the boundary of the widow.

By reason of the autumn, a sluggard will not plough, therefore shall he beg in harvest, and there be nothing.

Deep water, is counsel in a man's heart, but, a man of understanding, will draw it out.

Do not say, I will requite wrong! Wait thou for Yahweh that he may save thee.

Lovingkindness and faithfulness, will guard a king, - therefore should he support, with lovingkindness, his throne.
