But as for me, I trust you, O Yahweh. I say, "You [are] my God."

O Yahweh, let me not be put to shame, for I call on you. Let the wicked be put to shame. Let them [go] silently to Sheol.

How abundant [is] your goodness that you have stored up for [those who] fear you, that you perform for those who take refuge in you before [the] children of humankind.

As for me, I said in my alarm, "I am cut off from before your eyes." However you heard the voice of my supplications when I cried to you for help.

Be strong and let your heart show strength, all [you] who wait for Yahweh.

For day and night your hand was heavy upon me. My vigor was changed into [the] dry heat of summer. Selah

Therefore let all [the] faithful pray to you at [the] time [for] finding [you]. Surely at [the] flood of many waters they will not reach him.

Do not be like a horse [or] like a mule, without understanding; [that needs] his tackle--bridle and rein--for restraint [or he would not] come near you.

Many are [the] pains of the wicked, but [for] the one who trusts Yahweh loyal love surrounds him.

Be glad in Yahweh and rejoice, [you] righteous, and shout for joy, all [you] upright of heart.

Exult in Yahweh, O [you] righteous, [for] praise [is] fitting for the upright.

For the word of Yahweh [is] upright, and all his work [is done] in faithfulness.

For {he himself spoke} and it came to pass. {He himself commanded} and it stood firm.

Blessed [is] the nation whose God [is] Yahweh, the people he has chosen for his inheritance.

The horse [is] a false hope for victory, nor can it save by the greatness of its power.

Behold, the eye of Yahweh [is] on those who fear him, on those who hope for his loyal love

Our soul waits for Yahweh; he [is] our help and our shield.

For in him our heart rejoices because in his holy name we trust.

Fear Yahweh, [you] his saints, for there is no lack for [those who] fear him.

[The] young lions are in want and suffer hunger, but those who seek Yahweh will not lack for any good thing.

The eyes of Yahweh [are] toward [the] righteous, and his ears toward their cry for help.

For without cause they secretly hide the pit with their net for me; without cause they dug [it] for my life.

But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing [was] sackcloth. I weakened my soul with fasting, and my prayer {returned to me unanswered}.

For they do not speak peace, but against [the] quiet [ones] of [the] land they plan deceitful words.

Wake up and rouse yourself for my right, for my cause, O my God and my Lord.

Let them shout for joy and be glad, who delight in my vindication; and let them say continually, "Yahweh is great, who delights in the welfare of his servant."

For he flatters himself in his eyes, hating to detect his iniquity.

For with you is [the] fountain of life; in your light we see light.

For like the grass they will dry up quickly, and like green vegetation they will wither.

Be quiet before Yahweh and wait for him. Do not fret about one who succeeds [in] his way, about a man making plots.

For evildoers will be cut off, but those who wait for Yahweh-- they will possess [the] land.

[The] Lord laughs at him, for he sees that his day is coming.

For [the] arms of [the] wicked shall be broken, but Yahweh supports [the] righteous.

For those blessed [by] him shall possess [the] land, but those cursed [by] him shall be cut off.

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

I was a youth, but I am [now] old; yet I have not seen [the] righteous forsaken or his children {begging for} bread.

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] wicked watches for the righteous and seeks to kill him.

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].

Observe [the] blameless and look at [the] upright, for [there is] a future for a man of peace.

For your arrows have sunk into me, and your hand has pressed down on me.

For my iniquities have passed over my head; like a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

For my loins are full [of] burning, and there is no soundness in my flesh.

But as for me, like [the] deaf I cannot hear, and [I am] like [the] mute [who] cannot open his mouth.

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

For I said, "[Help,] lest they rejoice over me, [lest] they boast against me when my foot slips."

For I [am] ready to stumble, and my pain [is] before me continually.

For my iniquity I confess; I am anxious because of my sin.

And those who repay evil in return for good accuse me in return for my pursuing good.

And now, O Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is for you.

I am mute. I do not open my mouth, for you, yourself, have done [it].

[When] with rebukes you chastise a man for sin, you {consume} like a moth his delightful [things]. Surely everyone [is] a [mere] vapor. Selah

Hear my prayer, O Yahweh, and listen [to] my cry for help; do not be deaf to my tears. For I [am] an alien with you, a sojourner like all my ancestors.

I waited patiently for Yahweh, And he inclined to me and heard my cry for help.

As for you, O Yahweh, do not withhold your mercies from me. Let your loyal love and your faithfulness continually preserve me.

For evils without number have encompassed me. My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to see. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart fails me.

Blessed [is the one who] has regard for [the] poor; in [the] day of disaster, Yahweh delivers him.

As for me, I said, "O Yahweh, be gracious [to] me. Heal me, for I have sinned against you."

And when one comes to see [me], he speaks falsely; his heart gathers disaster for itself. He goes out to the street; he speaks.

All who hate me speak together against me. Against me they assume the {worst} for me:

As for me, you have upheld me in my integrity, and you have set me in your presence forever.

As a deer longs for streams of water, so my soul longs for you, O God.

My soul thirsts for God, for [the] living God. When shall I come and appear before God?

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.

For not with their sword did they possess [the] land, and their arm did not give them victory. Rather [it was] your right hand and your arm and the light of your presence, because you delighted in them.

You are my king, O God. Command victories for Jacob.

For I do not trust my bow, and my sword cannot give me victory.

You have caused us to pull back from [the] enemy, and [so] those who hate us have plundered for themselves.

You have given us as sheep [for] food, and among the nations you have scattered us.

would not God discover this, for he knows [the] secrets of [the] heart?

Rather, on account of you we are killed {all day long}; we are accounted as sheep for slaughter.

For our soul is bowed down to the dust. Our {body} clings to the ground.

Rise up! [Be a] help for us, and redeem us for the sake of your loyal love.

For Yahweh Most High [is] awesome, a great king over all the earth.

He chooses for us our inheritance, the pride of Jacob whom he loves.

For God [is] king of all the earth. Sing praises with understanding.

[The] princes of [the] peoples are gathered together [with] the people of Abraham's God. For [the] shields of [the] earth belong to God. He is very exalted.

For see, the kings assembled; they advanced together.

(since the redemption price for their life is costly and it always fails),

For he sees [that] the wise die, together [with the] fool and brute they perish, and leave their wealth to the next [generation].

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.

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

You give your mouth free rein for evil, and you harness your tongue to deceit.

For {I myself know} my transgressions, and my sin [is] ever before me.

Create a clean heart for me, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit {within me}.

For you do not delight [in] sacrifice or I would give [it]. [With] a burnt offering you are not pleased.

{Oh, that from Zion} would come salvation [for] Israel! When God returns the fortunes of his people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.

For foreigners have risen against me, and ruthless [men] seek my life. They have not set God before them. Selah

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

For [it is] not an enemy [that] taunts me, or I could bear [it]. [It is not] one who hates me [that] magnifies himself over me, or I could hide myself from him.

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

All day they twist my words; all their thoughts [are] against me for evil.

They attack, they hide, they watch my {steps}, as they [lie in] wait for my life.

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

They have set a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down. They have dug a pit before me; they have fallen into the midst of it. Selah

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

For look, they lie in wait for my life. The mighty attack against me, not [because of] my transgression or my sin, O Yahweh.

Look, they pour out [talk] with their mouth. Swords [are] on their lips, for [they say], "Who hears?"

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

[By] the sin of their mouth [and] the words of their lips, even in their pride, let them be trapped, and for [the] curses and lies they proclaim.
