To sound aloud a song, and to recount all thy wonderful doings.

Do not remove, with sinners, my soul, nor, with men of bloodshed, my life;

When there drew near against me evil-doers to devour my flesh, mine adversaries, and mine enemies - mine! - they, stumbled and fell!

One thing, have I asked of Yahweh, That, will I seek to secure, - That I may dwell in the house of Yahweh, all the days of my life, To view the delightfulness of Yahweh, And to contemplate in his temple.

For he will hide me in his pavilion, in the day of calamity, - He will conceal me, in the secrecy of his tent, Within a rock, will he set me on high.

Now, therefore, shall my head be raised high above my foes round about me, and I will sacrifice in his tent the sacrifices of triumphant joy, I will sing and touch the strings, to Yahweh.

Hear, O Yahweh, With my voice, do I cry, Oh then show me favour and answer me.

To thee, said my heart - When thou saidst Seek ye my face - Thy face, O Yahweh, will I seek!

Do not hide thy face from me, Do not repulse, in thine anger, thine own servant, - My help, thou hast been, Do not send me away nor forsake me, O my saving God!

Point out to me, O Yahweh, thy way, - And guide me in a level path, because of mine adversaries.

Do not give me up unto the desire of mine adversaries, for there have risen up against me witnesses that are false, and he that fanneth up violence.

Unto thee, O Yahweh, do I cry, O my Rock! do not turn in silence from me, - lest, if thou turn from me in silence, I be like them who go down into the pit.

Hear the voice of my supplication, when I cry to thee for help, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy shrine.

Do not drag me away - with the lawless, or with the workers of iniquity, - who speak peaceably with their neighbours, but, wrong, is in their heart.

Give them, according to their deed, and, according to the wrong of their practices, - According to the work of their own hands, give thou unto them, Bring back their own dealing to themselves.

Yahweh, is my strength and my shield, In him, hath trusted my heart, and I have found help, - Therefore hath my heart danced for joy, and, with my song, do I praise him.

Yahweh, is strength to his people, - And, the all-saving refuge of his Anointed One, is he!

Give to Yahweh, ye sons of the mighty, - Give to Yahweh, both glory and strength:

The voice of Yahweh, causeth the gazelles to bring forth, and hath stript forests; and, in his own temple, every one there, is saying, Glory!

Yahweh, will give, strength to his people, - Yahweh, will bless his people with prosperity.

I will extol thee, O Yahweh, for thou hast drawn me up, - and not suffered my foes to rejoice over me.

O Yahweh! thou hast lifted, out of hades, my soul, Thou hast brought me back to life, from among those who were going down to the pit.

Sweep the strings to Yahweh, ye his men of lovingkindness, and give ye praise at the mention of his holiness.

For there is, a Moment, in his anger, a Life-time, in his good-pleasure, In the evening, cometh Weeping to lodge, But, by the morning, -- tis a Shout of Triumph!

But, I, said, in my tranquility, I shall not be shaken to times age-abiding!

O Yahweh, in thy good-pleasure, hadst thou caused my mountain to stand, strong, - Thou didst hide thy face - I was dismayed!

Unto thee, O Yahweh, do I cry, - and, unto My Lord, do I make supplication:

To the end that mine honour should make melody unto thee, and not be silent. O Yahweh, my God! Unto times age-abiding, will I praise thee.

In thee, O Yahweh, have I sought refuge, Let me not be ashamed to times age-abiding, In thy righteousness, deliver me:

Incline unto me, thine ear, Speedily rescue me, - Become to me a Rock of refuge, a Place of security, For saving me.

Into thy hand, do I commit my spirit - Thou hast ransomed me, O Yahweh, GOD most faithful.

I hate such as give heed to false vanities, I, then, in Yahweh, have set my hope.

By reason of all mine adversaries, have I become a reproach. Even to my neighbours, altogether, and a dread to mine acquaintance, - They who have seen me abroad, have fled from me:

For I have heard the whispering of many - A terror round about! When they have sat in conclave together against me, to take away my life, have they intrigued.

Cause thy face to shine upon thy servant, Save me in thy lovingkindness.

O Yahweh! let me not be ashamed, For I have called upon thee, Let the lawless ha ashamed, go down in silence to hades!

How happy the son of earth, to whom Yahweh will not reckon iniquity! and in whose spirit is no guile!

When I kept silence, my bones became worn out, Through my groaning all the day;

For, day and night, heavy upon me, was thy hand, - Changed was my life-sap into the drought of summer. Selah.

For this cause, will every man of lovingkindness pray unto thee, in time to obtain, - Surely, in the overflow of many waters, unto him, shall they not reach.

I will make thee discreet, I will point out to thee the way which thou must go, I will fix upon thee mine eye.

Do not ye become like a horse, like a mule, without discernment, - With the bit and bridle of his mouth, hast thou to restrain him, - He will not come near unto thee.

Shout for joy, ye righteous, in Yahweh, To the upright, seemly is praise.

Yahweh, hath frustrated the counsel of nations, hath brought to nothing the devices of peoples.

The counsel of Yahweh, to times age-abiding, shall stand, The devices of his heart, from generation to generation.

To rescue, from death, their soul, and to keep them alive in famine.

Revere Yahweh, ye his holy ones, For there is no want to them who revere him.

Depart from wickedness and do good, Aim at well-being, and pursue it.

the face of Yahweh, is against such as do wickedness, To cut off, from the earth, their memory.

Near is Yahweh, to the broken in heart, And, the crushed in spirit, will he save.

Then draw the spear, and close up against my pursuers, Say to my soul, Thy salvation, I am!

Let them be ashamed and confounded, who are seeking my life, - Let them turn back and be put to the blush, who are devising my hurt:

Like as for a friend, like as for a brother of mine own, I walked to and fro, As though mourning for a mother, I gloomily bowed myself down.

For, no salvation, will they utter, - But, against the quiet of the land, deceitful things, do they devise;

Thou hast seen, O Yahweh, do not keep silence! O My Lord! be not far from me:

Bestir thyself and wake up, to my vindication, O my God and My Lord! - to my plea:

Vindicate me according to thy righteousness, O Yahweh, my God! And let them not rejoice over me:

Let them not say in their heart, Aha! to our mind! Let them not say, We have swallowed him up!

Mine own tongue also, shall softly utter thy righteousness, - All the day long, - thy praise!

For he flattereth himself too much in his own eyes, to find his iniquity - to hate it .

The words of his mouth, are iniquity and deceit, he hath left off to show discretion by doing well:

They abundantly relish the fatness of thy house, - And out of the full stream of thine own pleasures, thou givest them to drink.

Prolong thy lovingkindness unto them who know thee, - and thy righteousness, to the upright in heart.

There did the workers of iniquity fall, - thrust down and not able to rise!

Trust in Yahweh, and do good, Dwell in the land, and feed on fidelity;

Be resigned to Yahweh, yea wait with longing for him; Burn not with vexation at him who prospereth in his way, - at the man who doeth wickedness.

Cease from anger, and forsake wrath, Burn not with vexation - it would be only to do evil;

My Lord, shall laugh at him, for he seeth, that his day, will come.

A sword, have the lawless, drawn out, and have trodden their bow, - To bring down the oppressed and the needy, To slaughter the upright in life:

All day long, is he showing favour and lending, his seed, therefore, shall have a blessing.

Turn from evil, and do good, and so settle down, unto times age-abiding.

The righteous, shall inherit the earth, that they may settle down, to futurity, thereupon.

The lawless man, lieth in wait, for the just, and seeketh to put him to death:

Wait for Yahweh, and observe thou his path, that he may exalt thee, to inherit the earth, On the cutting off of the lawless, shalt thou look.

But, transgressors, are to be destroyed together, the hereafter of lawless men, is to be cut off.

O Yahweh, do not, in thine anger, correct me, nor, in thy wrath, chastise me;

For, mine iniquities, have passed over my head, Like a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me:

I am bent, I am bowed down very low. All the day, have I gloomily walked;

My lovers, and my friends, from before my stroke, stand aloof, - and, my near ones, far away, do stand:

Yea they who are seeking my life, have laid snares, and they who are asking my harm, have threatened engulfing ruin, And, deceitful things - all day long, do they mutter.

For, I, to halt, am ready, and, my pain, is before me continually;

Do not forsake me, O Yahweh, My God! be not far from me:

Make haste to help me, My Lord, my deliverance!

I said, to myself, I will take heed to my ways, That I sin not with my tongue, - I will put on my mouth a muzzle, So long as the lawless is before me.

Surely as a shadow, doth every man wander, Surely in vain, do they bustle about, he heapeth things up, and knoweth not who shall gather them in.

From all my transgressions, rescue thou me, - The reproach of the base, oh do not make me!

Hear my prayer, O Yahweh, And, unto my cry for help, give ear, At my tears, do not be silent, - For, a sojourner, am, I, with thee, A stranger, like all my fathers.

Then put he, into my mouth, a new song, Praise to our God, - Many shall see and revere, And shall trust in Yahweh.

Mighty things, hast thou done - Thou, Yahweh my God, Thy wonderful doings and thy purposes to-wards us, There is no setting them in order unto thee - I would tell, and would speak! - They are too great to rehearse.

To do thy good-pleasure, O my God, is my delight, And, thy law, is in the midst of mine inward parts:

I have told the good-tidings of righteousness in a great convocation, Lo! my lips, do I not restrain, O Yahweh, thou, knowest:

Be pleased, O Yahweh, to rescue me, O Yahweh! to help me, make haste!

Let them turn pale and then at once blush, who are seeking my life to snatch it away, - Let them draw back, and be confounded, who are taking pleasure in my calamity;

But, I, being oppressed and needy, May My Lord devise for me, - My help and my deliverer, thou art! O my God, do not tarry!

How happy is he that is attentive to the poor, In the day of calamity, will Yahweh deliver him:

Yahweh, will preserve him and keep him alive, And he shall be pronounced happy in the land, Do not then give him up at the desire of his enemies!

Mine enemies, speak ill of me, When will he die, and his name perish?

And, if he have come to see me, Falsehood, doth he speak, His own heart, gathereth iniquity to itself, he goeth forth, abroad he telleth it.

Together - against me, do all who hate me whisper among themselves, Against me, devise they hurt for me.

Even the man whom I used to salute, in whom I put confidence, who used to eat my bread, - hath magnified his heel against me!
