Because he standeth at the right hand of the needy, To save, from them who would pass sentence on his life.

The declaration of Yahweh to my Lord - Sit thou at my right hand, Until I make thy foes thy footstool.

Thy sceptre of strength, will Yahweh extend out of Zion, Tread thou down, in the midst of thy foes.

Thy people, will freely offer themselves, in the day of thine army, - in the splendours of holiness, out of the womb of the dawn, To thee, shall spring forth the dew of thy youth.

Great are the works of Yahweh, sought out, by all who find pleasure therein.

That raiseth, out of the dust, the poor, From the dunghill, uplifteth the needy;

When Israel came forth out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from among a people of strange tongue,

What aileth thee, O sea, that thou fleest? O Jordan, that thou turnest back?

My vows - to Yahweh, will I pay, Might it be in presence of all his people!

My vows - to Yahweh, will I pay, Might it be in the presence of all his people; -

Out of a strait, called I on Yah, He answered me with enlargement.

Yahweh, is on my side, I will not fear, What can man, do unto me?

It is, better to seek refuge in Yahweh, than to put confidence in man:

It is, better to seek refuge in Yahweh, than to put confidence in nobles.

Thou didst, thrust sore, at me that I might fall, But, Yahweh, hath helped me.

Blessed be he that entereth, In the Name of Yahweh, we have blessed you, out of the house of Yahweh.

In my heart, have I treasured what thou hast said, to the end I may not sin against thee.

Unveil thou mine eyes, that I may discern Wondrous things out of thy law.

My soul is crushed with longing for thy just decisions at all times.

HE.Point out to me, O Yahweh, the way of thy statutes, that I may observe it unto the end.

Give me understanding, that I may observe thy law, that I may keep it with a whole heart.

At midnight, I arise to give thanks unto thee, For thy righteous regulations.

It is, well for me, that I was afflicted, That I might learn thy statutes.

[YODH] Thine own hands, have made me, and formed me. Give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.

To generation after generation, is thy faithfulness, Thou hast established the earth, and it standeth.

[MEM] Oh how I love thy law! All the day, is it my meditation.

Beyond mine enemies, will thy commandment make me wise, for, age-abidingly, shall it be mine.

Out of thy precepts, will I get understanding, For this cause, do I hate every false way.

My life, is in my hand continually, Yet, thy law, have I not forgotten.

The lawless have set a snare for me, Yet, from thy precepts, have I not strayed.

Uphold me according to thy word, that I may live, and do not shame me out of my hope!

It is time that Yahweh should work, They have frustrated thy law!

My mouth, have I opened wide, and panted, because, for thy commandments, have I longed.

Refined is thy word, to the uttermost, and, thy servant loveth it.

[KOPH] I have cried out with all my heart, answer me, O Yahweh; Thy statutes, will I observe.

I have cried out unto thee, oh save me, That I may keep thy testimonies.

My lips, shall pour out, praise, When thou shalt teach me thy statutes.

Let my soul live, that it may praise thee, So shall thy regulation help me.

What shall be given to thee, and what shall be added to thee, thou deceitful tongue?

Yahweh, will keep thy going out and thy coming in, from henceforth, even unto times age-abiding.

If it had not been, Yahweh, who was on our side, oh might Israel say:

They who trust in Yahweh, are like Mount Zion, which shall not be shaken, Age-abidingly, shall it remain.

If, Yahweh, build not the house, in vain, have the builders of it toiled thereon, If, Yahweh, watch not the city, in vain, hath the watchman kept awake:

Yahweh will bless thee, out of Zion, - and behold thou the welfare of Jerusalem, all the days of thy life!

Let them become like the grass of housetops, which, before it is pulled up, hath withered;

Out of the depths, have I cried unto thee, O Yahweh.

Wait, O Israel, for Yahweh, - for, with Yahweh, is lovingkindness, and there aboundeth with him - redemption.

Wait, O Israel, for Yahweh, from this time forth, even to times age-abiding.

Lo! we heard of it at Ephrathah, we found it in the fields of the wood.

We would enter his habitations, we would bow down at his footstool.

Yahweh hath sworn unto David, in faithfulness, will he not turn from it, - Of the fruit of thy body, will I seat on thy throne.

For Yahweh hath chosen Zion, - He hath desired it as a dwelling for himself:

This, is my place of rest unto futurity, Here, will I dwell, for I have desired it;

May Yahweh, bless thee, out of Zion, even he that made heaven and earth.

Praise ye Yah, For good is Yahweh, Sing praises to his Name, For it is full of delight;

Causing vapours to ascend from the end of the earth, - Lightnings for the rain, hath he made, bringing forth wind out of his treasuries.

Blessed be Yahweh out of Zion, Who inhabiteth Jerusalem, Praise ye Yah!

To him that stretched out the earth above the waters, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.

And brought forth Israel out of their midst, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.

With a firm hand, and a stretched-out arm, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.

Remember, O Yahweh, against the sons of Edom, the day of Jerusalem, - how they continued to say - Overthrow! Overthrow! unto the foundation within it.

Though lofty is Yahweh, yet, the lowly, he regardeth, but, the haughty - afar off, doth he acknowledge.

Surely there hath not been a word on my tongue, but behold! O Yahweh, thou hast observed it on every side.

Knowledge, too wonderful, for me! high, I cannot attain to it!

If I ascend the heavens, there, thou art! If I spread out hades as my couch, behold thee!

Mine unfinished substance, thine eyes beheld, and, in thy book, all the parts thereof were written, - the days they should be fashioned! while yet there was not one among them.

Keep me, O Yahweh, from the hands of the lawless one, From the man of violence, wilt thou preserve me, - who have devised, to thrust at my steps:

Set thou, O Yahweh, a watch at my mouth, Keep thou guard over the door of my lips.

Let not my heart incline to a matter of wrong, that I should busy myself with practices in lawlessness, with men working iniquity, and let me not eat of their dainties.

Let a righteous man smite me - a lovingkindness, that he should correct me, an oil for the head which let not my head refuse! For, yet, even my prayer, shall be in their calamities.

As when one plougheth and furroweth the earth, Scattered about, are our bones at the mouth of hades!

Surely, unto thee, O Yahweh, My Lord, are mine eyes, In thee, have I sought refuge, Do not pour out my life.

Keep me out of the clutches of the trap they have set for me, and the snares of the workers of iniquity.

They who are lawless, shall fall into the nooses thereof, while, I, at the same time, pass on.

I pour out before him my complaint, My distress - before him, I tell.

O bring forth, out of prison, my soul, That I may give thanks unto thy Name, - About me, let the righteous gather round, for thou wilt deal bountifully with me.

O Yahweh! what is the earthborn, And yet thou hast acknowledged him, - the son of a mortal, And yet thou hast taken account of him:

Flash forth lightning, that thou mayest scatter them, Send out thine arrows, that thou mayest confound them:

Put forth thy hands from on high: - Snatch me away and rescue me out of mighty waters, out of the hand of the sons of the alien,

Snatch me away and rescue me out of he hand of the sons of the alien, - whose mouth hath spoken deceit, and, whose right hand, is a right hand of falsehood: -

That, our sons, may be like plants well grown while yet young, - Our daughters, like corner pillars, - carved, in the construction of a palace:

Our garners, full, pouring out from one kind to another; Our flocks, multiplying by thousands - by myriads, in our open fields:

And, the might of thy terrible acts, shall men speak, and, as for thy greatness, I will recount it.

The eyes of all, for thee, do wait, and, thou, givest them their food in its season.

Praise ye Yah, For it is good, to make melody to our GOD, - For it is delightful, seemly is praise!

Yahweh, hath pleasure, in them who revere him, in them who wait for his lovingkindness.

Who maketh thy boundaries to be peace, With the marrow of wheat, doth he satisfy thee:

Praise ye Yah, Praise Yahweh, out of the heavens, Praise him, in the heights;

So caused he them to stand perpetually - age-abidingly, A decree, hath he given, and it passeth not beyond.

Praise Yahweh, out of the earth, sea monsters, and all resounding deeps;

To execute upon them the sentence written, An honour, shall it be to all his men of lovingkindness. Praise ye Yah!

If they say - Come with us, - Let us lie in wait for blood, Let us watch in secret for him who is needlessly innocent;

Yet, they, for their own blood, lie in wait, They watch in secret for their own life.

Such are the ways of every one that graspeth with greed, The life of the owners thereof, it taketh away!

At the head of bustling streets, she crieth aloud, - at the openings of the gates in the city - her sayings, she doth utter: -

Will ye turn, at my reproof? Lo! I will pour out to you my spirit, I will make known my words to you.

Because I called, and ye refused, I stretched out my hand, and no one regarded;

I also, at your calamity, will laugh, I will mock, when cometh your dread;

Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and, with their own counsels, be filled.

Whereas, he that hearkeneth unto me, shall dwell safely, and be at rest, without dread of misfortune.
