Then, shall my foes turn back, in the day I cry, This, I know, for God is mine!

My soul, is in the midst of lions, I lie down amidst flames, As for the sons of men, Their teeth, are spear and arrows, And, their tongue, is a sharp sword.

Awake, mine honour, Awake, harp and lyre, I will awaken the dawn;

I will thank thee, among the peoples, O My Lord, I will praise thee in song, among the races of men.

Are ye, indeed, silent when righteousness, ye should speak? When, with equity, ye should judge, O ye sons of men?

Lawless men have been estranged from birth, They have gone astray from their nativity, speaking falsehood;

Let such men flow away like waters that disperse themselves: He prepareth his arrow, Like grass let them be cut down:

The righteous man will rejoice when he hath seen an avenging, His feet, will he bathe in the blood of the lawless one: -

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 the workers of iniquity, And, from the men of bloodshed, save me.

For lo! they have lain in wait for my life, Mighty ones stir up strife against me, Without transgression of mine, and without sin of mine, O Yahweh;

My God of lovingkindness, will come to meet me, God, will let me look on mine adversaries.

Bring to a full end in wrath, Bring to a full end, that they be no more, - That men may know that, God, is ruling in Jacob, Unto the ends of the earth. Selah.

Mine, is Gilead - and mine, Manasseh, But, Ephraim, is the defence, of my head, Judah, is my commander's staff;

Grant us help out of distress, For, vain, is the deliverance of man:

How long will ye shout at a man? Ye shall be crushed all of you, - Like a wall that bulgeth, - a fence pushed in!

Surely, towards God, be thou silent, my soul, For, from him, is mine expectation:

Upon God, depend my salvation and mine honour, My rock of strength, my refuge, are in God.

Surely, vanity, are men of low degree, Deception, men of high degree, - In the balances, they go up, They, are made of vanity, altogether.

And, thine, O My Lord, is lovingkindness, - For, thou, wilt pay back unto every man - according to his deed.

Thus, will I bless thee while I live, In thy Name, will I lift up mine outspread hands:

Therefore have all men feared, - And have told the doing of God, And, his work, have considered.

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

How happy the man thou shalt choose and bring near! He shall bide in thy courts, - We shall be satisfied with, The blessing of thy house, The holiness of thy temple.

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

Come and see the doings of God, - Fearful in deed toward the sons of men:

Thou didst let men ride at our head; We went into fire and into water, But thou didst bring us forth into freedom.

Races of men, will be glad and shout for joy, Because thou wilt judge peoples with equity, And, races of men throughout the earth, thou wilt lead. Selah.

Thou hast ascended on high, Thou hast led in procession a body of captives, Thou hast received gifts consisting of men, Yea even the rebellious, That, Yah, Elohim, might settle down to rest.

I am weary with mine outcry, Parched is my throat, - Mine eyes have become dim, through waiting for my God.

Oh draw near unto my soul - redeem it, Because of mine enemies, ransom me.

Thou, knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my confusion, Before thee, are all mine adversaries.

For, God, will save Zion, And build the cities of Judah, So shall men dwell there, and possess it:

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

Let men revere thee, With the sun, And in presence of the moon, Unto the remotest generation.

Let him come down, Like rain on fields to be mown, Like myriad drops on land to be reaped.

May righteousness, in his days, blossom forth, And abundance of peace, till there be no moon.

Before him, let the men of the desert kneel, But, as for his foes, the dust, let them lick;

When I reasoned, that I might understand this, A vexation, it was in mine eyes:

Thine, is the day, Yea, thine, the night, Thou, didst establish moon and sun;

We have given thanks unto thee, O God, we have given thanks, And, in calling upon thy Name, men have recounted thy wonders.

The valiant of heart have become a spoil, They have slumbered their sleep, And none of the men of might have found their hands.

Thou hast held, watching, mine eyes, I was driven to and fro, and could not speak;

Give ear, O my people, to mine instruction, Bend your ear to the sayings of my mouth;

And had rained on them manna to eat, And, the corn of the heavens, had given to them:

When, the anger of God, mounted against them, And he slew of their vigorous youths, And, the choice young men of Israel, caused he to bow down in death.

So he gave up the habitation of Shiloh, The tent he had set up among Men;

His young men, were devoured by fire, And, his virgins, were not praised in song;

Let thy hand be, Upon the Man of thy right hand, Upon the Son of Man thou didst secure for thyself;

Blow, at the new moon, the horn, At the full moon, for the day of our sacred festival:

Fill thou their faces with dishonour, That men may seek thy Name, O Yahweh;

That men may know that, thou, Whose Name alone is Yahweh, Art Most High over all the earth.

How happy the men whose strength is in thee, Festive processions are in their heart.

O Yahweh of hosts! How happy the man who trusteth in thee!

I will hear, what GOD - Yahweh - will speak, - For he will bespeak prosperity to his people, And to his men of lovingkindness, And to them who return with their heart unto him.

But, of Zion, it shall be said - This man and that were born in her, And the Highest himself shall establish her.

I am counted with them who descend into the pit, I have become as a man that is without help;

Thou hast far removed mine acquaintances from me, - Thou hast made me an abomination unto them, Shut up, and I cannot go forth!

Mine eye, hath dimmed through affliction; I have called upon thee, O Yahweh, all day long, I have spread out, unto thee, my hands.

Thou hast far removed from me, lover and friend, Mine acquaintances, are in darkness.

Then spakest thou in vision of thy men of lovingkindness, and saidst - I have laid help upon a mighty one, I have exalted one chosen from among the people;

I have found David my servant, With mine own holy oil, have I anointed him;

With whom my hand shall be firm, Yea, mine arm, shall strengthen him;

Like the moon, shall it be established unto times age-abiding, And, a witness, in the skies, hath been made sure. Selah.

Who is the man that shall live, and not see death? That can deliver his soul from the hand of hades. Selah.

Thou causest man to return unto dust, And hast said - Return, ye sons of Adam!

A man that is brutish, cannot know, And, dullard, cannot discern this: -

So hath mine eye descried them who were lying in wait for me, - Of my wicked assailants, mine ears, shall hear.

He that correcteth nations, shall he not reprove? He that teacheth man knowledge!

Yahweh, knoweth the plans of men, That, they, are a breath!

How happy the man whom thou correctest, O Yah! And whom, out of thy law, thou instructest!

And I sware in mine anger, - Verily they shall not enter into my rest.

Ye lovers of Yahweh! be haters of wrong, - He preserveth the lives of his men of lovingkindness, From the hand of the lawless, will he rescue them.

I will not set before mine eyes, a vile thing, - The doing of them who fall away, I hate, It shall not cleave unto me;

Mine eyes, shall be upon the faithful of the land, That they may dwell with me, - he that walketh in a blameless way, he, shall attend me.

There shall not dwell in the midst of my house, One who worketh deceit, - he that speaketh falsehoods, shall not be established before mine eyes;

All the day, have mine enemies, reproached me, And, they who are mad against me, by me, have sworn.

As for man, like grass, are his days, Like the blossom of the field, so, doth he blossom;

Who causeth the grass to shoot forth for the cattle, And the herb, for the service of man, That he may bring forth food out of the earth;

And, wine, may rejoice the heart of man, Making radiant his well-nourished face, - And, food, may, the heart of man, sustain.

He hath made the moon for seasons, And, the sun, knoweth his place for entering in.

Man goeth forth to his work, And to his labour, until evening.

While as yet they were men easily counted, - A very few, and sojourners therein;

He sent before them a man, For a slave, was he sold - even Joseph;

Let them give thanks to Yahweh for his lovingkindness, and for his wonderful dealings with the sons of men;

Let them give thanks to Yahweh for his lovingkindness, and for his wonderful dealings with the sons of men!

Men who go down to the sea, in ships, doing business through mighty waters;

They reel and stagger, like a drunken man, and, all their wisdom, is engulfed,

Fixed, is my heart, O God, I will sing and touch the strings, even mine honour.

I will thank thee among the peoples, O Yahweh, and will sing praise unto thee, among the tribes of men.

Mine, is Gilead - mine, Manasseh, but, Ephraim, is the defence of my head, Judah, is my commander's staff;

Because that he remembered not to show lovingkindness, but pursued the man that was oppressed and needy, that, the downhearted, he might slay.

This, be the reward of mine accusers, from Yahweh, even of them who are speaking wrongfully against my life.

They, may curse if, thou, wilt bless, - Mine assailants, shall be ashamed, but, thy servant, shall rejoice;

Mine accusers shall be clothed with confusion, and shall wrap about them, like a cloak, their own shame.

Praise ye Yah! How happy is the man who revereth Yahweh, In his commandments, delighteth he greatly;

Well for a man showing favour and lending! He shall sustain his affairs with justice.

Their idols, are silver and gold, the works of the hands of men, -

As for the heavens, the heavens, belong to Yahweh, but the earth, hath he given to the sons of men.

For thou hast rescued my soul from death, - mine eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.
