Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.

as the mountains rose up, and the valleys went down -- to the place you appointed for them.

as well as wine that makes people feel so good, and so they can have oil to make their faces shine, as well as food that sustains people's lives.

Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.

There go the ships; there is that great beast, which you have made as a plaything.

I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.

May my meditation be sweet and pleasing to Him;
As for me, I will rejoice and be glad in the Lord.

As for the sinners, they shall be consumed out of the earth, and the ungodly shall come to an end. But praise thou the LORD, O my soul: Praise the everlasting! Hallelujah!

Glory in His holy name;
Let the hearts of those who seek and require the Lord [as their most essential need] rejoice.

Remember [with awe and gratitude] the wonderful things which He has done,
His amazing deeds and the judgments uttered by His mouth [on His enemies, as in Egypt],

Which He confirmed to Jacob as a statute,
To Israel as an everlasting covenant,

Saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan
As the measured portion of your inheritance.”

While as yet they were men easily counted, - A very few, and sojourners therein;

what time as they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another.

He sent a man before them,
Joseph, who was sold as a slave.

until the time his prediction came true, as the word of the LORD refined him.

to obligate his officials {as he saw fit} and teach his elders wisdom.

Then Israel went to Egypt;
Jacob lived as a foreigner in the land of Ham.

He spread a cloud as a covering
and gave a fire to light up the night.

He opened the rock, and waters gushed out. They ran as a river in the dry places.

We have sinned like our fathers;
We have committed iniquity, we have behaved wickedly.

He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.

As for those that troubled them, the waters overwhelmed them; there was not one of them left.

Therefore He lifted up His hand [swearing] to them,
That He would cause them to fall in the wilderness,

and it was reckoned to him as righteousness {throughout all generations}.

They did not destroy the peoples, As Jehovah commanded them,

Often did he deliver them; but as for them they provoked him by their counsel, and they were brought low by their iniquity.

And He guided them by the right way, so as to go to a city to live in.

Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;

He humbled them through suffering, as they stumbled without a helper.

They reel to and fro, and move as a drunkard, And all their wisdom is swallowed up.

As for his people, he turned a desert into a pool of water, and a dry land into springs of water.

As for their enemies, they decreased in number and were beaten down, because of painful distress and suffering.

And setteth on high the needy from affliction, And placeth families as a flock.

For Your lovingkindness is great and higher than the heavens;
Your truth reaches to the skies.

Gilead belongs to me, as does Manasseh! Ephraim is my helmet, Judah my royal scepter.

Who will conduct me to a fortified city? Who will lead me as far as Edom?

In return for my love they act as my accusers;
But I am in prayer.

Appoint a wicked man against him,
And let an attacker stand at his right hand [to kill him].

When he is judged, let him come out guilty, and let his prayer become as sin.

Let his children wander and beg;
Let them seek their food and be driven far from their ruined homes.

As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.

As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.

Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.

I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.

As for me, they make sport of me; shaking their heads when they see me.

Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.

As for me, I will give thanks unto the LORD with my mouth, and praise him among the multitude;

for he standeth at the righthand of the poor, to save him from such as condemn his soul.

{Psalm of David.} Jehovah said unto my Lord, Sit at my right hand, until I put thine enemies as footstool of thy feet.

Your people will offer themselves willingly [to participate in Your battle] in the day of Your power;
In the splendor of holiness, from the womb of the dawn,
Your young men are to You as the dew.

Who is as Jehovah our God, He is exalting Himself to sit?

He raises the poor out of the dust
And lifts the needy from the ash heap,

He maketh the barren woman to keep house, as a joyful mother of sons. Hallelujah!

The mountains have skipped as rams, Heights as sons of a flock.

O mountains, ye skip as rams! O heights, as sons of a flock!

Why should the nations ask "Where now is their God?"

As for our God, he is in heaven; he doth whatsoever it pleaseth him.

[Those who] make them become like them, [as does] everyone who trusts in them.

As for the heavens, the heavens, belong to Yahweh, but the earth, hath he given to the sons of men.

But as for us, we will bless the Lord
From this time forth and forever.
Praise the Lord!

Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.

I believed, therefore have I spoken. As for me, I was greatly afflicted.

Yahweh [is] for me as my helper, and [so] I will look [in triumph] on those who hate me.

They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.

This, is the gate for Yahweh, Such as are righteous, shall enter therein.

Then I would not be put to shame, as long as I have respect for all your teaching.

I will praise you with an upright heart, as I learn your righteous decrees.

I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches.

Thou hast rebuked the proud as accursed, who stray from thy commandments.

Establish Your word to Your servant,
As that which produces reverence for You.

ו VavLet Your faithful love come to me, Lord,
Your salvation, as You promised.

{Zayin} O think upon thy servant, as concerning thy word, wherein thou hast caused me to put my trust.

This has become mine [as the gift of Your grace],
That I observe Your precepts [accepting them with loving obedience].

I have given my mind to do your pleasure with all my heart; have mercy on me, as you have said.

ט TetLord, You have treated Your servant well,
just as You promised.

Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in thy law.

May Your faithful love comfort me
as You promised Your servant.

Let the proud be ashamed; for they have acted perversely towards me with falsehood: as for me, I meditate in thy precepts.

But let such as fear thee, and know thy testimonies, be turned unto me.

My eyes grow weary
looking for what You have promised;
I ask, “When will You comfort me?”

For I have been as a bottle in smoke, Thy statutes I have not forgotten.

They had almost consumed me upon the earth; but as for me, I forsook not thy precepts.

Lamedh.
Forever, O Lord,
Your word is settled in heaven [standing firm and unchangeable].

I am Yours, save me [as Your own];
For I have [diligently] sought Your precepts and required them [as my greatest need].

Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart.

As a result, I am determined to carry out your statutes forever. Samek

Sustain me as You promised, and I will live;
do not let me be ashamed of my hope.

You have removed all the wicked of the earth like dross [for they have no value];
Therefore I love Your testimonies.

Be the guarantee for Your servant for good [as Judah was the guarantee for Benjamin];
Do not let the arrogant oppress me.

My eyes fail as I look for your salvation and for your righteous promise.

Therefore I esteem as right all Your precepts concerning everything;
I hate every false way.

I open my mouth and pant as I long for your commands.

Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.

Listen to me because of your loyal love! O Lord, revive me, as you typically do!

As concerning thy testimonies, I have known ever since the beginning that thou hast grounded them for ever.

Defend my cause and redeem me;
give me life as You promised.

Your compassion is great, O Lord. Revive me, as you typically do!

I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.

As for lies, I hate and abhor them; but thy law do I love.
