Yahweh knows [the] days of [the] blameless, and their inheritance will be forever.

They will not be put to shame in distressing times, and in [the] days of famine they will be satisfied.

But [the] wicked will perish, and the enemies of Yahweh [will be] like [the] splendor of [the] pastures. They vanish; in smoke they vanish.

Though he fall, he will not be cast headlong, for Yahweh supports [him with] his hand.

For Yahweh loves justice and will not forsake his faithful ones. They are protected forever. But [the] children of [the] wicked will be cut off.

[The] righteous will possess [the] land and abide in it forever.

The law of his God [is] in his heart. His steps will not slip.

Yahweh will not abandon him into his hand, and he will not let him be condemned when he is judged.

Wait for Yahweh and keep his way, and he will exalt you to possess [the] land. When [the] wicked are cut off, you will see [it].

Rather for you I wait, O Yahweh. You will answer, O Lord my God.

I said, "I will guard my ways {that I may not sin} with my tongue. I will keep a muzzle over my mouth as long as [the] wicked [are] before me."

Surely a man walks about as a [mere] {shadow}; surely in vain they bustle about. He heaps up [possessions] but does not know who [will] gather them [in].

Then he put a new song in my mouth, a praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and will trust Yahweh.

'I delight to do your will, O my God, and your law [is] {deep within me}.'"

Yahweh protects him and keeps him alive; he is blessed in the land, and you do not give him into the will of his enemies.

My enemies speak evil about me, "When will he die and his name perish?"

"A ruinous thing is poured out on him, and [now] that he lies down, he will not rise up again."

Why are you {in despair}, O my soul, and disturbed within me? Hope in God, because I will again praise him, [for] the salvation of his presence.

Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, {my surpassing joy}, and I will praise you with lyre, O God, my God.

Why are you {in despair}, O my soul? And why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God, because I will again praise him, {my salvation} and my God.

In God we boast all the day, and we will give thanks [to] your name forever. Selah

Even the daughter of Tyre [will come] with a gift. [The] rich from among people will seek your {favor}.

In place of your fathers will be your sons. You will make them princes in all the land.

I will cause your name to be remembered in all generations; therefore peoples will praise you forever and ever.

Therefore we will not fear though [the] earth change, and though the mountains totter into [the] {midst} of [the] sea,

God [is] in the midst of her; she will not be made to totter. God will help her {at daybreak}.

Be still, and know that I [am] God. I will be exalted among the nations; I will be exalted in the earth.

As we have heard, so we have seen in the city of Yahweh of hosts, in the city of our God. God will establish her forever. Selah

that this [is] God, our God forever and ever. {He himself} will guide us until death.

My mouth will speak wisdom, and the meditation of my heart [will be] understanding.

I will incline my ear to a proverb; I will {propound} my riddle on a lyre.

Like sheep they are destined to Sheol; death will shepherd them. But the upright will rule over them in the morning, and their forms [will be for] Sheol to consume, [far from] his lofty abode.

Surely God will ransom my life from the {power} of Sheol, because he will receive me. Selah

because when he dies he will not take [away] any [of it]. His wealth will not follow down after him.

Though he congratulated his soul while he was living --and [people] will praise you when you do well for yourself--

it will go to the generation of his fathers. Never will they see light.

"Hear, O my people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will testify against you. I am God, your God.

I will not take from your house a bull [or] from your stalls a he-goat,

And call me in [the] day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will glorify me."

These [things] you have done, and I have been silent; You imagined that I was just like you. I will rebuke you and present [an argument] before your eyes.

Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear [you] apart, and there [will be] none to deliver.

He who sacrifices a thank offering honors me, and he [who] orders [his] way; I will show him the salvation of God."

[Then] I will teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will turn back to you.

Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, the God of my salvation; [then] my tongue will sing aloud [of] your righteousness.

O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will proclaim your praise.

The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit; A broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.

Then you will delight [in] righteous sacrifices, burnt offering and whole burnt offering. Then bulls will be offered on your altar.

but God will pull you down forever. He will snatch you and tear you away from [your] tent, and [he] will uproot you from [the] land of [the] living. Selah

And [the] righteous will see and fear, and will laugh at him, [saying],

I will give thanks to you forever, because [of what] you have done, and I will wait on your name, because [it is] good, in the presence of your faithful ones.

He will repay my enemies for their evil; in your faithfulness destroy them.

I will freely sacrifice to you; I will give thanks [to] your name, O Yahweh, because [it is] good.

As for me, I will call to God, and Yahweh will save me.

{Morning, noon and night} I will lament and groan loudly, and he will hear my voice.

God will hear and answer them, [he] who [is] enthroned from of old, Selah Because they do not change, and they do not fear God.

Cast your burden on Yahweh, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved.

But you, O God, you will bring them down to [the] pit of corruption. [The] men of bloodshed and deceit will not live half their days, but I will trust you.

Because of iniquity will they escape? In anger cast down [the] peoples, O God.

Then my enemies will turn back {when} I call. This I know because God [is] for me.

[My] vows [to you], O God, [are binding] upon me. I will pay thank offerings to you,

Be gracious to me, O God, be gracious to me, because in you my soul takes refuge. In the shadow of your wings I will take refuge until destruction passes by.

I will call to God Most High, to God who accomplishes [things] concerning me.

He will send from heaven and save me; he will reproach [the] one who tramples me. Selah God will send his loyal love and his faithfulness.

My heart [is] steadfast, O God; My heart [is] steadfast. I will sing and give praise.

Awake, my glory; Awake, harp and lyre. I will awake [the] dawn.

I will give you thanks among the peoples, O Lord; I will give you praise among [the] nations.

Before your pots can feel [the heat of] a thornbush, whether green [or] {dry}, he will sweep it away.

[The] righteous will rejoice when he sees [the] vengeance; he will wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.

And people will say, "Surely [there is] a {reward} for the righteous. Surely there is a God [who] judges in the land."

But you, O Yahweh, will laugh at them; you will mock all [the] nations.

O my strength, I will watch for you, because [you], O God, [are] my (high) stronghold.

My God of loyal love will meet me; God will cause me to look [in triumph] on my enemies.

But as for me, I will sing [of] your strength, and I will hail your loyal love in the morning, because you have been my [high] stronghold and a refuge in my {time} of trouble.

O my strength, to you I will give praise, because God [is] my [high] stronghold, my God of loyal love.

God has spoken in his holiness, "I will rejoice; I will divide up Shechem, and portion out the valley of Succoth.

Moab [is] my washing pot; over Edom, I will cast my sandal. On account of me, O Philistia, raise a shout."

Who will bring me to [the] fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?

Through God we will do {valiantly}, and [it is] he [who] will tread down our enemies.

From the end of the earth I call to you when my heart grows faint. You will lead me to a rock [that is] higher than I.

You will add days to the days of the king, his years like [those of] {many generations}.

So I will sing the praise of your name forever, that I may fulfill my vows {daily}.

How long will you attack a man? All of you will be shattered like a leaning wall, a tottering fence.

And to you [belongs] loyal love, O Lord, because you will render to each according to his work.

O God, you [are] my God; I will seek you diligently. My soul thirsts for you; my flesh longs for you [as] in a dry and weary land without water.

Because your loyal love [is] better than life, my lips will praise you.

So I will bless you while I live. I will lift up my {hands} in your name.

My soul will be satisfied [as with the] best and richest [food], and [with] joyful lips my mouth will praise.

Because you have been my help, therefore in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.

But as for them [who] seek my life for ruin, they will go into the depths of the earth.

They [who] would {deliver him to the sword} will become a portion for jackals.

However, the king will rejoice in God. Everyone who swears an oath by him will boast, because [the] mouth of [the] liars will be stopped.

They encourage themselves [in the] evil matter. They talk of secretly laying snares. They say, "Who will see them?"

But God will shoot them; with an arrow they will suddenly be wounded.

And they [who] would cause him to stumble, their [own] tongue [will be] against them. All who gaze on them will shake.

And then all men will fear, and will declare the working of God, and will understand his doing.

[The] righteous will rejoice in Yahweh and take refuge in him, and all [the] upright in heart will boast.

O [you who] hear prayer, to you all flesh will come.

Iniquities prevail over me. As for our transgressions, you will {forgive} them.

Blessed [is one whom] you choose and bring near, [that] he may abide in your courts. We will be satisfied with the goodness of your house, your holy temple.

By awesome deeds in righteousness you will answer us, O God of our salvation, [you who are the] confidence [of] all [the] ends of [the] earth and [of] the far-off seas,
