Jehovah sware the truth to David; he will not turn back from it: from the fruit of thy belly I will set upon the throne to thee.

If thy sons shall watch my covenant and my testimonies, these I shall teach them; also their sons even to forever shall sit upon the throne to thee forever.

Jehovah shall bless thee out of Zion: he made the heavens and the earth.

He sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.

O daughter of Babel laying waste; happy he recompensing to thee thy retribution thou didst to us

To David. I will praise thee with all my heart: before God I will play to thee on the harp.

All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O Jehovah, for they heard the sayings of thy mouth.

If I shall ascend to the heavens, thou art there: and shall I bend down to hades, behold thee.

Also darkness shall not darken from thee; and the night shall shine as the day: as the darkness, so the light

I will praise thee; for I was wonderfully distinguished: thy works are wonders, and my soul knew greatly.

My bones were not hid from thee, when I was made in secret. I was variegated in the lower parts of the earth.

I will count them; they shall be multiplied above the sand of the sea: I awoke, and I am yet with thee.

For they will say to thee for mischief; thine enemies were lifted up for vanity.

Shall I not hate those hating thee, O Jehovah? and I shall loathe against those rising up against thee.

Chanting to David. O Jehovah, I called to thee; hasten to me; give ear to my voice in my calling to thee.

My prayer shall be prepared incense before thee; the lifting up my hands the gift of the evening.

For to thee, O Jehovah my Lord, are mine eyes: in thee I put my trust; thou wilt not make my soul naked.

I cried to thee, O Jehovah: I said, Thou my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.

And thou wilt not come into judgment with thy servant, for all living shall not be justified before thee.

I spread out my hands to thee: my soul as a weary land for thee. Silence.

Cause me to hear thy mercy in the morning; for in thee I trusted: cause me to know the way that I shall go; for to thee I lifted up my soul.

Deliver me from mine enemies, O Jehovah: to thee I covered myself.

O God, a new song will I sing to thee; with an instrument of ten strings, I will play on the harp to thee.

My son, if they sinning shall entice thee, thou shalt not go in.

My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and wilt hide my commands with thee;

Meditation shall watch over thee, understanding shall guard thee:

To deliver thee from the evil way, from the man speaking deceit;

To deliver thee from the strange woman, from the stranger making smooth her sayings;

For length of days and years of life, and peace they shall add to thee.

Mercy and truth shall not forsake thee: bind them upon thy throat; write them upon the tablet of thy heart:

Thou shalt not say to thy neighbor, Go, and turn back, and to-morrow I will give; and there is with thee.

Thou shalt not fabricate evil upon thy neighbor, and he dwelling confidently with thee.

Thou shalt not contend with man to no purpose, if he did thee no evil

Thou shalt not forsake her, and she will watch thee: love her, and she will guard thee.

Lift her up and she shall exalt thee: she will honor thee when thou. shalt embrace her.

She will give to thy head a garland of grace: a crown of glory she will deliver thee.

Hear, my son, and receive my words, and the years of life shall be multiplied to thee.

In the way of wisdom I taught thee; I caused thee to tread in the tracks of uprightness

Turn away from thee perverseness of mouth, and frowardness of lips remove far oft from thee.

Thine eyes shall look straight before, and thine eyelashes shall be right before thee.

They shall be to thee alone, and not strangers with thee.

The hind of loves and the wild goat of grace; her breasts shall satiate thee in all time; thou shalt always wander in her loves.

In thy going about it shall lead thee; in thy lying down it shall watch over thee; and awaking, it shall speak to thee.

To watch thee from the woman of evil, from the smoothness of the strange tongue.

Thou shalt not desire her beauty in thy heart, and she shall not take thee with her eyelashes.

My son, watch my words, and thou shalt hide my commands with thee.

For this, I shall come forth to thy meeting, to seek thy face, and I shall find thee.

Thou shalt not reprove him mocking, lest he shall hate thee: reprove to the wise one and he will love thee.

For in me thy days shall be multiplied, and years of life shall be added to thee.

Thou shalt not say, I will requite evil; wait for Jehovah, he will save to thee.

For thy trust to be in Jehovah, I caused thee to know to-day, thee also.

Did I not write to thee three days ago in counsels and knowledge?

To cause thee to know the truth of the words of truth; to turn back the words of truth to those sending thee?

If not to thee to requite, why shall he take thy bed from under thee?

If thou shalt sit to eat with a ruler, understanding, thou shalt understand what is before thee.

Like him estimating evil in his soul, so is he: Eat and drink, he will say to thee; and his heart not with thee.

For he redeeming them, he is strong; he will contend their contention with thee.

Hear to thy father that begat thee, and thou shalt not despise thy mother when growing old.

Thy father shall rejoice, and thy mother, and she begetting thee shall exult.

For by guidance thou shalt make to thee war, and in the multitude of counselors salvation.

For thou tookest up coals of fire upon his head, and Jehovah will recompense to thee.

A stranger shall praise thee, and not thy mouth; a stranger, and not thy lips.

Correct thy son and he shall cause thee to rest, and he shall give delight to thy soul.

Thou shalt not add to his words lest he reprove in thee, and thou wert false.

Two things I asked from thee, thou wilt not withhold from me before I shall die:

Thou shalt not slander the servant to his lord lest he shall curse thee, and thou wert guilty.

I Said in my heart, Go now, I will prove thee with gladness, and look thou upon good: and behold, this also vanity.

Also to all the words that shall be spoken thou shalt not give thy heart, that thou shalt not hear thy servant cursing thee.

See life with the wife which thou didst love all the days of the life of thy vanity which he gave to thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for this thy portion in life, and in thy labor which thou laborest under the sun.

If the spirit of him ruling shall go up against thee, thou shalt not leave thy place; for quietness will put down great sins.

Wo! to thee, O land: thy king a youth, and thy chiefs will eat in the morning.

Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and thy heart shall do thee good in the days of thy youth, and go in the ways of thy heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: and know thou, that for all these God will bring thee into judgment

And remember him creating thee in the days of thy youth, till even when the days of evil shall not come, and the years draw near in which thou shalt say, Not to me delight in them;

To the odor of the good ointments thy name shall be poured forth an ointment; for this, the maidens loved thee.

Draw me, we will run after thee: the king brought me to his chambers: we will exult and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy breasts above wine: the upright loved thee.

To my mares in Pharaoh's chariots I likened thee, O my neighbor.

We will make for thee rows of gold, with marks of silver.

Behold thee fair, my friend; behold thee beautiful; thine eyes are doves'.

Behold thee beautiful, my beloved, also pleasant: also our bed is green.

Until the day shall breathe and the shadows fled away, turn, thou, it being likened to thee, my beloved, to the roe, or to the fawn of the hind upon the mountains of section.

Behold thee beautiful, my friend, behold thee beautiful; thine eyes doves' from behind to thy veil: thy hair as a herd of goats which lay down from mount Gilead.

All of thee beautiful, my friend, and no blemish in thee.

Where went thy beloved, O beautiful one among women? where turned away thy beloved, and we will seek him with thee.

Turn back, turn back, thou Shulamite; turn back, turn back, and we will look upon thee. What will ye see in the Shulamite? As the stringed instrument of the camps.

Thy head upon thee as Carmel, and the locks of thy head as purple; the King being bound in curls.

We will rise early to the vineyards; we will see if the vine was fruitful, the vine blossoms opened, the pomegranates blossomed: there will I give my beloved to thee.

The mandrakes gave an odor, and upon our entrances all precious things, new also old, my beloved, I laid up for thee.
