All the great ones of the earth, shall eat and bow down, Before him shall kneel, all that go down to the dust, Even he who had not kept alive, his own soul!

To Yahweh, belongeth, The earth and the fulness thereof, The world, and they who dwell therein;

Who shall ascend the mountain of Yahweh? And who shall stand in his holy place?

The clean of hands, and pure of heart, - who hath not uplifted, to falsehood, his soul, nor sworn deceitfully,

This, is the generation of them who inquire of him, who seek thy face, O God of Jacob. Selah.

Who is the king of glory? Yahweh, strong and mighty, Yahweh, mighty in war.

Who then is the king of glory? Yahweh of hosts, He, is the king of glory. Selah.

Yea let, none who wait for thee, be put to shame, Let them be put to shame who act covertly without cause!

Who then is the man that revereth Yahweh? Let him direct him into the way he should choose.

Intimacy with Yahweh, have they who revere him, His covenant also, he letteth them know.

Yahweh, is my light and my salvation, Of whom shall I be afraid? Yahweh, is the refuge of my life, Of whom shall I be in dread?

Unto thee, O Yahweh, do I cry, O my Rock! do not turn in silence from me, - lest, if thou turn from me in silence, I be like them who go down into the pit.

Do not drag me away - with the lawless, or with the workers of iniquity, - who speak peaceably with their neighbours, but, wrong, is in their heart.

O Yahweh! thou hast lifted, out of hades, my soul, Thou hast brought me back to life, from among those who were going down to the pit.

By reason of all mine adversaries, have I become a reproach. Even to my neighbours, altogether, and a dread to mine acquaintance, - They who have seen me abroad, have fled from me:

How great is thy goodness, which thou hast hidden away for them who revere thee, - Thou hast wrought for them who seek refuge in thee, in sight of the sons of men.

Be strong, and let your heart be bold, all ye who are waiting for Yahweh.

How happy the son of earth, to whom Yahweh will not reckon iniquity! and in whose spirit is no guile!

Who loveth righteousness and justice, With the lovingkindness of Yahweh, the earth is full.

Who gathered as into a skin-bottle the waters of the sea, Delivering, into treasuries, the roaring deeps.

Who fashioneth their heart all together, Who understandeth all their doings.

Lo! the eye of Yahweh, is toward them who revere him, unto such as are waiting for his lovingkindness:

The messenger of Yahweh encampeth around them who revere him, Thus hath he delivered them.

Oh taste and see, that good is Yahweh, - How happy the man who seeketh refuge in him!

Revere Yahweh, ye his holy ones, For there is no want to them who revere him.

Young lions, have come short, and suffered hunger, but, they who seek Yahweh, shall not lack any good thing.

Who is the man that desireth life, Loving days, that he may see good?

Yahweh ransometh the soul of his servants, And none shall be held guilty, who seek refuge in him.

Contend, O Yahweh, with them who contend with me, Make war upon them who make war upon me.

Let them be ashamed and confounded, who are seeking my life, - Let them turn back and be put to the blush, who are devising my hurt:

All my bones, shall say - O Yahweh, who is like unto thee? Rescuing the oppressed from one stronger than he, Yea the oppressed and the needy, from their spoiler.

Let not them who are falsely my foes rejoice over me, As for them who hate me without cause, let them not wink the eye!

Let them turn pale, and then at once blush, who are rejoicing at my misfortune, - Let them be clothed with shame and confusion, who are magnifying themselves against me.

Let them shout in triumph and rejoice, who are desiring my justification; And let them say continually, Yahweh be magnified, Who hath taken pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

Prolong thy lovingkindness unto them who know thee, - and thy righteousness, to the upright in heart.

Be resigned to Yahweh, yea wait with longing for him; Burn not with vexation at him who prospereth in his way, - at the man who doeth wickedness.

For, evil doers, shall be cut off, but, as for them who wait for Yahweh, they, shall inherit the earth.

Better the little of the righteous man, than the abundance of the lawless who are mighty;

Yea they who are seeking my life, have laid snares, and they who are asking my harm, have threatened engulfing ruin, And, deceitful things - all day long, do they mutter.

But, I, as one deaf, will not hear, - and as one dumb, who will not open his mouth:

Thus have I become as a man who cannot hear, in whose mouth are no arguments:

And, my foes, are alive - have become strong, - and multiplied are they who hate me for false cause:

Even they who are repaying evil for good, accuse me because I pursue the good.

Surely as a shadow, doth every man wander, Surely in vain, do they bustle about, he heapeth things up, and knoweth not who shall gather them in.

How happy the man, Who hath made Yahweh his confidence, who hath not turned unto the haughty, nor gone aside unto falsehood.

Let them turn pale and then at once blush, who are seeking my life to snatch it away, - Let them draw back, and be confounded, who are taking pleasure in my calamity;

Let them be astonished on account of their own shame, who are saying of me, Aha! Aha!

Let all them be glad and rejoice in thee, who are seekers of thee. Let them say continually - Yahweh be magnified! who are lovers of thy salvation.

Together - against me, do all who hate me whisper among themselves, Against me, devise they hurt for me.

Even the man whom I used to salute, in whom I put confidence, who used to eat my bread, - hath magnified his heel against me!

My soul thirsteth for God, for a GOD who liveth, - When shall I enter in, and see the face of God?

For thou hast saved us from our adversaries, And, them who hated us, hast thou put to shame.

Thou sufferest us to turn back from the adversary, And, they who hate us, have plundered at will:

Thou dust make us, A reproach to our neighbours, A mockery and a derision to them who are round about us:

At the voice of him who reproacheth and revileth, At the face of the foe and avenger.

Overflowed hath my heart, with an excellent theme, I will recite my poem concerning the king, Be, my tongue, like the pen of a scribe who is skilled.

Come! view the doings of Yahweh, - Who hath set desolations in the earth;

Trembling, seized them, there, Pangs. like hers who is in travail.

Wherefore should I fear in the days of calamity, Though the iniquity of them who lie in wait for me should enclose me?

As for them who are trusting in their wealth, - And, in the abundance of their riches, do boast themselves,

A son of earth though wealthy, who discerneth not, Hath made himself a by-word, Beasts, they resemble.

Gather yourselves unto me - ye my men of lovingkindness, Who have solemnised my covenant over sacrifice.

Lo! the man who made not God his refuge, - But trusted in the abundance of his riches, Emboldened himself in his wealth!

For it is, not an enemy, that reproacheth me, Or I could bear it, - Not one that hath hated me, who, against me, hath magnified himself, Or I might hide myself from him;

GOD will hear, Yea He will humble them who aforetime sat enthroned . Selah.With whom are no changings, Neither have they revered God.

I will cry unto God Most High, Unto GOD, who accomplisheth on my behalf:

He will send out of heaven, that he may save me, He who is panting for me, hath reproached. Selah.God will send out his lovingkindness and his faithfulness.

So that a son of earth may say - Surely there is fruit for the righteous man! Surely there are gods who judge in the earth!

Rescue me from my foes, O my God, From them who lift themselves up against me, wilt thou set me on high:

Lo! they belch forth with their mouth, Swords, are in their lips, For say they , Who doth hear?

Who will conduct me to fortified city? Who will lead me as far as Edom!

For, thou, O God, hast hearkened to my vows, Thou hast granted a possession, unto them who revere thy Name.

But, the king, shall rejoice in God, - Every one shall glory who sweareth by him, For the mouth of them who speak falsehood, shall be stopped.

Who have sharpened, like a sword, their tongue, Have made ready their arrow - a bitter word;

They strengthen for them a wicked word, They talk of hiding snares, They have said, Who can see them?

When they were to have ruined another, their tongue smote themselves, All who observe them take flight.

The righteous man shall rejoice Yahweh, and seek refuge in him, Then shall glory - all who are upright in heart.

Who setteth fast the mountains by his strength, Being girded with might;

Who stilleth, The noise of the seas, The noise of their rolling waves, and The tumult of races of men?

Who ruleth, in his might, unto times age abiding, His eyes, over the nations, keep watch, The rebellious, let them not exalt themselves. Selah.

Who hath set our soul among the living, And hath not suffered, our foot, to slip.

Blessed be God, Who hath not turned away my prayer, Nor his own lovingkindness from me.

Rebuke thou, The wild beast of the reeds, The herd of mighty oxen among the calves of the peoples - Each one bowing down with bars of silver, - Scatter thou the peoples, who in wars take delight.

More than the hairs of my head, Are they who hate me without cause, - Firmer than my bones, Are they who are my foes for false cause, - What I had not plundered, then, had I to restore.

Let them not be ashamed, through me, Who have waited for thee, O My Lord, Yahweh of hosts, - Let them not be confounded, through me, Who are seeking thee, O God of Israel!

Because, zeal for thy house, hath eaten me up, And, the reproaches of them who have reproached thee, have fallen upon me.

They who sit in the gate talk against me, - And against me are the songs of them who imbibe strong drink.

For, whom, thou thyself, hadst smitten, they pursued, And, unto the pain of thy wounded ones, they must needs add.

Let them turn pale and then at once blush, Who are seeking my life, - Let them draw back, and be confounded, Who are taking pleasure in my misfortune;

Let them turn back, on account of their own shame, Who are saying, Aha! Aha!

Let all them be glad and rejoice in thee, Yea, let them, who are seekers of thee, - say continually, God be magnified! Who are lovers of thy salvation.

For mine enemies have spoken of me, And, they who watch for my life, have taken counsel together;

Let them be ashamed - be consumed, Who are assailing my life, - Let them be covered with reproach and confusion, Who are seeking my hurt.

And, as for thy righteousness, O God, up on high, Wherein thou hast wrought great things, O God! who is like unto thee?

Thou who hast let us see many distresses and misfortunes, Wilt gain bring us to life, And, out of the resounding depths of the earth, wilt again raise us up;

Even my tongue, all the day, shall softly utter thy righteousness, For they have turned pale - for they have blushed, Who were seeking my hurt.

Because he Rescueth, The needy from the rich, The oppressed, who hath no helper;

Blessed be Yahweh God, the God of Israel, - Who doeth wondrous things by himself alone;

Lo! these, are the lawless, Who are secure for an age, They have attained unto wealth.

Whom have I in the heavens? And, compared with thee, there is nothing I desire on earth.
