Do not trust in extortion, Nor, with robbery, become vain, As for wealth, when it beareth fruit, Do not set thereon your heart.

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

O God, my GOD, thou art, Earnestly do I desire thee, - My soul thirsteth for thee, My flesh fainteth for thee, In a land - dry, and weary for want of water, -

For thou hast become a help unto me, - And, in the shadow of thy wings, will I shout for joy.

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.

To shoot, in secret places, at the blameless one, Suddenly they shoot at him, and fear not.

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

Iniquitous things, have been too strong for me, As for our transgressions, wilt, thou, by propitiation remove them.

By things reverend in righteousness, wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation, The confidence of all the ends of the earth, And of the sea far away;

Yea the dwellers in the uttermost parts have feared at thy tokens, The goings forth of morning and evening, thou causest to shout for joy.

Clothed are the pastures with flocks, The valleys also, cover themselves with corn, They shout for joy, yea they sing.

For thou didst prove us, O God, Thou didst refine us, according to the refining of silver:

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

Come! hearken - that I may recount, all ye reverers of God, What he hath done for my soul: -

If, iniquity, I had cared for in my heart, My Lord, had not heard me!

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.

As smoke is driven about, Let them be driven about, - As wax is melted before a fire, Let the lawless perish before God.

Thy living host, have remained therein, Thou dost provide, in thy bounty, for the humbled ones - O God!

Wherefore start ye up, ye mountains, ye peaks? The mountain God hath coveted for his habitation, Surely, Yahweh will inhabit it ever!

Blessed be My Lord! Day by day, he beareth our burden for us, GOD himself, is our salvation. Selah.

Thy God hath commanded thy strength, - The strength, O God, which thou hast wrought for us.

Ascribe ye strength unto God, - Over Israel, is his majesty, And his strength, in the skies. To be revered is God, for his sanctuary, -

As for the GOD of Israel, he, is giving strength and abundant might to the people. Blessed be God!

Save me, O God, For waters have entered as far as the life;

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

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, for thy sake, have I borne reproach, Confusion hath covered my face;

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

When I have made my clothing of sackcloth, Then have I served them for a by-word;

But, as for me, my prayer shall be unto thee, O Yahweh, in a time of acceptance, O God, in the abounding of thy lovingkindness, answer me with thy saving faithfulness.

Answer me, O Yahweh, for good is thy lovingkindness, According to the abounding of thy compassions, turn thou towards me:

Reproach hath broken my heart, and I am weak, - Though I waited for one to pity me, yet there was none, And for comforters, yet I found not any.

But they put in my food - poison! And, for my thirst, they gave for my drink - vinegar!

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

For, a Hearkener to the needy, is Yahweh, And, his prisoners, hath he not despised.

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

Be thou unto me, a Rock to dwell in, a Place of Security, To save me, For, my mountain crag and my stronghold, thou art.

For, thou, art my hope, My Lord, Yahweh, My confidence from my youthful days:

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

Saying, God, hath forsaken him, Pursue and take him, For there is none to rescue.

O God, be not far from me, O my God, to help me, make haste!

My month, shall relate thy righteousness, All the day, thy deliverance, For I know not the numbers.

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

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.

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

Let him live, then! And be there given unto him of the gold of Sheba, - Let prayer also be offered for him continually, All the day, let him be blessed.

For I was envious of the boasters, At the prosperity of the lawless, used I to look.

For they have no pangs in their death, And vigorous is their body;

For this cause, doth arrogance deck them as a neck-chain, And a garment of wrong is their attire;

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

For lo! they who are far from thee, shall perish, Thou hast put an end to every one who wandered unchastely from thee.

But, as for me, the drawing near of God, is my blessedness, - I have made, of My Lord Yahweh, my refuge, - That I may recount all thy works.

They have cast, into the fire, thy sanctuary, To the ground, have they profaned the habitation of thy Name.

Thou, didst crush the heads of the Sea-Monster, Thou didst give him to be food, for the people of the deserts;

Thou, didst set up all the bounds of the earth, As for summer and winter, thou, didst form them!

Have respect to thy covenant, For the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of violence.

May the crushed one not again be confounded, As for the oppressed and the needy, let them praise thy Name.

For neither from east nor west, Nor from the wilderness of thee mountains cometh exaltation ;

For, God himself, is about to judge, One, he will cast down, Another, he will lift up;

For, a cup, is in the hand of Yahweh, Whose wine is foaming, It is full of spiced wine, Which he hath caused to flow from one to another, - Surely, the dregs thereof, they shall drain out - they shall drink, Even all the lawless ones of the earth.

As for thee, to be feared thou art! Who then shall stand before thee, because of the power of thine anger?

For the multitude of mankind shall give thanks unto thee, The remainder of the multitude, shall keep holy festival unto thee.

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

For ages, will My Lord reject? And, not again, grant acceptance any more?

And led them, by a cloud, in the daytime, And all the night, by a light of fire;

Lo! he hath smitten a rock, And waters, have gushed out, Yea, torrents, have rushed along, - Food also, can he give? Or provide flesh for his people?

Therefore, Yahweh hearkened, and became wroth, - And, a fire, was kindled against Jacob, Moreover also, anger, mounted against Israel;

So they did eat and were abundantly filled, When, what they longed for, he had brought them: -

They had not turned away from what they had longed for, Yet was their food in their mouth,

For all this, sinned they still, And believed not in his wonders;

So they spake him fair with their mouth, And, with their tongue, did promise him falsely;

He leveled a path for his anger, Withheld not, from death, their soul, But, their life - to the pestilence, he delivered:

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

How long, O Yahweh, wilt thou be angry utterly? Shall thy jealousy, burn like fire?

For he hath devoured Jacob, - And, his dwelling-place, have they laid waste.

Do not remember against us former iniquities, - Haste thee, let thy compassions, come to meet us, For we have been brought very low!

Help us, O God of our salvation, on account of the glory of thy Name, - Rescue us then, and put a propitiatory-covering over our sins, For the sake of thy Name.

Let the groaning of the prisoner, come in before thee, - According to the greatness of thine arm, Set free them who are appointed to death.

Thou dost make us an object of contention to our neighbours, And, our foes, find mockery for themselves.

It thrust forth its branches as far as the sea, - And, unto the River, its shoots.

Yea the stock which thy right hand planted, Even upon the son thou didst secure for thyself.

To be burned with fire, it is cut down, - At the rebuke of thy countenance, they will perish.

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

Shout ye for joy, unto God our strength, Sound the note of triumph, to the God of Jacob;

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

For, a statute to Israel, it is, A regulation, by the God of Jacob;

I took away, from the burden, his shoulder, his hands, from the clay, were set free.

Arise! O God, judge thou the earth, For, thou, wilt inherit all the nations.

For they have taken counsel with one heart, Against thee - a covenant, would they solemnize -

They perished at En-dor, They become manure for the soil!

As a fire burneth a forest, - And as a flame setteth mountains ablaze,

My soul, longeth - yea even languisheth - for the courts of Yahweh, - My heart and my flesh, shout aloud for a Living GOD.

Even the sparrow, hath found a home, And, the swallow, a nest for herself, where she hath laid her young, Thine altars, O Yahweh of hosts, My king and my God!

For better is a day in thy courts, than a thousand, I choose rather to stand at the threshold in the house of my God, Than to dwell in the tents of lawlessness.

For, a sun and shield, is Yahweh God, - Grace and glory, will Yahweh give, He will not withhold what is good, from them who walk without blame.

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.

Bow down, O Yahweh, thine ear - answer me, For, oppressed and needy, am I;

Show me favour, O My Lord, For, unto thee, do I cry, all the day;

Rejoice the soul of thy servant, For, unto thee, O My Lord, my soul, do I lift.
