from eternity to eternity, You are God.

You have placed our wickedness before you,
Our secret sins [which we tried to conceal, You have placed] in the [revealing] light of Your presence.

Turn, O Lord [from Your fierce anger]; how long will it be?
Be compassionate toward Your servants—revoke Your sentence.

He Himself will deliver you from the hunter’s net,
from the destructive plague.

Thou Shalt not be afraid from terror the night; from the arrow that will fly the day;

From the word that shall go in darkness: from the cutting off that shall lay waste the noon-day.

You are from eternity.

Your precepts are fully confirmed and completely reliable;
Holiness adorns Your house,
O Lord, forever.

Lord, happy is the man You discipline
and teach from Your law

to give him relief from troubled times
until a pit is dug for the wicked.

I will set no worthless or wicked thing before my eyes.
I hate the practice of those who fall away [from the right path];
It will not grasp hold of me.

Every morning I will destroy
all the wicked of the land,
eliminating all evildoers from the Lord’s city.

Do not hide Your face from me in my day of trouble.
Listen closely to me;
answer me quickly when I call.

From Thine indignation and Thy wrath, For Thou hast lifted me up, And dost cast me down.

But you, O Yahweh, abide forever, and your remembrance {from generation to generation}.

and provides crops for man to cultivate,
producing food from the earth,

And wine -- it rejoiceth the heart of man, To cause the face to shine from oil, And bread -- the heart of man it supporteth.
