They are filled from the fatness of Thy house, And the stream of Thy delights Thou dost cause them to drink.

There have workers of iniquity fallen, They have been overthrown, And have not been able to arise!

For as grass speedily they are cut off, And as the greenness of the tender grass do fade.

For evil doers are cut off, As to those waiting on Jehovah, they possess the land.

And the humble do possess the land, And they have delighted themselves In the abundance of peace.

A sword have the wicked opened, And they have trodden their bow, To cause to fall the poor and needy, To slaughter the upright of the way.

They are not ashamed in a time of evil, And in days of famine they are satisfied.

But the wicked perish, and the enemies of Jehovah, As the preciousness of lambs, Have been consumed, In smoke they have been consumed.

From Jehovah are the steps of a man, They have been prepared, And his way he desireth.

For Jehovah is loving judgment, And He doth not forsake His saintly ones, To the age they have been kept, And the seed of the wicked is cut off.

The righteous possess the land, And they dwell for ever on it.

And Jehovah doth help them and deliver them, He delivereth them from the wicked, And saveth them, Because they trusted in Him!

My heart is panting, my power hath forsaken me, And the light of mine eyes, Even they are not with me.

And those seeking my soul lay a snare, And those seeking my evil Have spoken mischievous things, And they do deceits meditate all the day.

When I said, 'Lest they rejoice over me, In the slipping of my foot against me they magnified themselves.

And mine enemies are lively, They have been strong, and those hating me without cause, Have been multiplied.

Only, in an image doth each walk habitually, Only, in vain, they are disquieted, He heapeth up and knoweth not who gathereth them.

Much hast Thou done, Jehovah my God; Thy wonders and Thy thoughts toward us, There is none to arrange unto Thee, I declare and speak: They have been more than to be numbered.

For compassed me have evils innumerable, Overtaken me have mine iniquities, And I have not been able to see; They have been more than the hairs of my head, And my heart hath forsaken me.

They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are seeking my soul to destroy it, They are turned backward, And are ashamed, who are desiring my evil.

They are desolate because of their shame, Who are saying to me, 'Aha, aha.'

All hating me whisper together against me, Against me they devise evil to me:

Send forth Thy light and Thy truth, They -- they lead me, they bring me in, Unto Thy holy hill, and unto Thy tabernacles.

For, not by their sword Possessed they the land, And their arm gave not salvation to them, But Thy right hand, and Thine arm, And the light of Thy countenance, Because Thou hadst accepted them.

They are brought with joy and gladness, They come into the palace of the king.

Roar -- troubled are its waters, Mountains they shake in its pride. Selah.

For, lo, the kings met, they passed by together,

They have seen -- so they have marvelled, They have been troubled, they were hastened away.

Their heart is: Their houses are to the age, Their tabernacles to all generations. They proclaimed their names over the lands.

And man in honour doth not remain, He hath been like the beasts, they have been cut off.

As sheep for Sheol they have set themselves, Death doth afflict them, And the upright rule over them in the morning, And their form is for consumption. Sheol is a dwelling for him.

For his soul in his life he blesseth, (And they praise thee when thou dost well for thyself.)

It cometh to the generation of his fathers, For ever they see not the light.

Man in honour, who understandest not, Hath been like the beasts, they have been cut off!

Then Thou desirest sacrifices of righteousness, Burnt-offering, and whole burnt-offering, Then they offer bullocks on thine altar!

To the Overseer. -- 'On a disease.' -- An instruction, by David. A fool said in his heart, 'There is no God.' They have done corruptly, Yea, they have done abominable iniquity, There is none doing good.

Every one went back, together they became filthy, There is none doing good -- not even one.

Have not workers of iniquity known, Those eating my people have eaten bread, God they have not called.

There they feared a fear -- there was no fear, For God hath scattered the bones of him Who is encamping against thee, Thou hast put to shame, For God hath despised them.

To the Overseer with stringed instruments. -- An instruction, by David, in the coming in of the Ziphim, and they say to Saul, 'Is not David hiding himself with us?' O God, by Thy name save me, and by Thy might judge me.

For strangers have risen up against me And terrible ones have sought my soul, They have not set God before them. Selah.

Because of the voice of an enemy, Because of the oppression of the wicked, For they cause sorrow to move against me, And in anger they hate me.

By day and by night they go round it, on its walls. Both iniquity and perverseness are in its midst,

Desolations are upon them, They go down to Sheol -- alive, For wickedness is in their dwelling, in their midst.

He hath ransomed in peace my soul From him who is near to me, For with the multitude they were with me.

God doth hear and afflict them, And He sitteth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, and fear not God,

Sweeter than honey hath been his mouth, And his heart is war! Softer have been his words than oil, And they are drawn swords.

All the day they wrest my words, Concerning me all their thoughts are for evil,

They assemble, they hide, they watch my heels, When they have expected my soul.

By iniquity they escape, In anger the peoples put down, O God.

My wandering Thou hast counted, Thou -- place Thou my tear in Thy bottle, Are they not in Thy book?

A net they have prepared for my steps, Bowed down hath my soul, They have digged before me a pit, They have fallen into its midst. Selah.

The wicked have been estranged from the womb, They have erred from the belly, speaking lies.

They are melted as waters, They go up and down for themselves, His arrow proceedeth as they cut themselves off.

As a snail that melteth he goeth on, As an untimely birth of a woman, They have not seen the sun.

To the Overseer. -- 'Destroy not,' by David. -- A secret treasure, in Saul's sending, and they watch the house to put him to death. Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God, From my withstanders set me on high.

For, lo, they laid wait for my soul, Assembled against me are strong ones, Not my transgression nor my sin, O Jehovah.

Without punishment they run and prepare themselves, Stir up to meet me, and see.

They turn back at evening, They make a noise like a dog, And go round about the city.

Lo, they belch out with their mouths, Swords are in their lips, for 'Who heareth?'

The sin of their mouth is a word of their lips, And they are captured in their pride, And from the curse and lying they recount.

Consume in fury, consume and they are not, And they know that God is ruling in Jacob, To the ends of the earth. Selah.

And they turn back at evening, They make a noise like a dog, And they go round about the city.

They -- they wander for food, If they are not satisfied -- then they murmur.

He dwelleth to the age before God, Kindness and truth appoint -- they keep him.

Only -- from his excellency They have consulted to drive away, They enjoy a lie, with their mouth they bless, And with their heart revile. Selah.

Only -- vanity are the low, a lie the high. In balances to go up they than vanity are lighter.

And they who for desolation seek my soul, Go in to the lower parts of the earth.

They cause him to run on the edge of the sword, A portion for foxes they are.

Who sharpened as a sword their tongue, They directed their arrow -- a bitter word.

To shoot in secret places the perfect, Suddenly they shoot him, and fear not.

They strengthen for themselves an evil thing, They recount of the hiding of snares, They have said, 'Who doth look at it?'

They search out perverse things, 'We perfected a searching search,' And the inward part of man, and the heart are deep.

And they cause him to stumble, Against them is their own tongue, Every looker on them fleeth away.

And all men fear, and declare the work of God, And His deed they have considered wisely.

Clothed have lambs the flock, And valleys are covered with corn, They shout -- yea, they sing!

All the earth do bow to Thee, They sing praise to Thee, they praise Thy name.' Selah.

He hath turned a sea to dry land, Through a river they pass over on foot, There do we rejoice in Him.

And the righteous rejoice, they exult before God, And they joy with gladness.

They have seen Thy goings, O God, Goings of my God, my king, in the sanctuary.

And they give for my food gall, And for my thirst cause me to drink vinegar.

For they have pursued him Thou hast smitten, And recount of the pain of Thy pierced ones.

Give punishment for their iniquity, And they enter not into Thy righteousness.

They are blotted out of the book of life, And with the righteous are not written.

The humble have seen -- they rejoice, Ye who seek God -- and your heart liveth.

For God doth save Zion, And doth build the cities of Judah, And they have dwelt there, and possess it.

They are ashamed, they are consumed, Who are opposing my soul, They are covered with reproach and blushing, Who are seeking my evil,

They fear Thee with the sun, and before the moon, Generation -- generations.

There is a handful of corn in the earth, On the top of mountains, Shake like Lebanon doth its fruit, And they flourish out of the city as the herb of the earth.

His name is to the age, Before the sun is his name continued, And they bless themselves in him, All nations do pronounce him happy.

In the misery of mortals they are not, And with common men they are not plagued.

They do corruptly, And they speak in the wickedness of oppression, From on high they speak.

They have set in the heavens their mouth, And their tongue walketh in the earth.

And they have said, 'How hath God known? And is there knowledge in the Most High?'

Lo, these are the wicked and easy ones of the age, They have increased strength.

How have they become a desolation as in a moment, They have been ended -- consumed from terrors.

Roared have thine adversaries, In the midst of Thy meeting-places, They have set their ensigns as ensigns.

And now, its carvings together With axe and hatchet they break down,

They have sent into fire Thy sanctuary, to the earth they polluted the tabernacle of Thy name,

They said in their hearts, 'Let us oppress them together,' They did burn all the meeting-places of God in the land.
