Sacrifice the sacrifices of righteousness; and put your trust in Yahweh.

Thou hast put gladness in my heart, - beyond the season when, their corn and their new wine, have increased.

In peace, will I lay me down and at once sleep; for, thou, Yahweh alone, wilt cause me, in security, to dwell.

O Yahweh! in the morning, shalt thou hear my voice, In the morning, will I set in order unto thee, and keep watch;

For, not a GOD finding pleasure in lawlessness, art thou, and wrong can be no guest of thine:

But, I, in the abounding of thy lovingkindness, will enter thy house, I will bow down towards thy holy temple, in reverence of thee:

O Yahweh! lead me in thy righteousness, because of mine adversaries, Make even, before me, thy way:

For in his mouth is nothing worthy of trust, Their inward purpose, is engulphing ruin, - An opened sepulchre, is their throat, With their tongue, speak they smooth things.

Declare them guilty, O God, Let them fall by their own counsels, - Into the throng of their own transgressions, thrust them down, For they have rebelled against thee: -

That all may rejoice who seek refuge in thee, to times age-abiding, may shout in triumph, that thou wilt protect them, and they may leap for joy in thee who are lovers of thy Name.

For, thou, wilt bless the righteous man, O Yahweh, As with an all-covering shield - with good pleasure, wilt thou encompass him.

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

For, in death, is no remembrance of thee, - In hades, who shall give thanks unto thee?

Let all my foes, turn pale and be greatly dismayed, Again let them turn pale in a moment.

O Yahweh my God, in thee, have I sought refuge, - Save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me:

Lest one tear, as a lion, my soul, - and there be no deliverer to rescue.

O Yahweh my God, If I have done this, If there hath been perversity in my hands:

Let an enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it, that he may tread down, to the earth, my life, - and, mine honour - in the dust, he may cause to dwell. Selah.

Rise! Yahweh! in thine anger, Lift thyself up, because of the haughty outbursts of mine adversaries, Stir up for me the justice thou hast commanded:

When, the assembly of peoples, gather round thee, then, above it - on high, do thou return!

Let the wrong of the lawless, I pray thee, come to an end, and establish thou him that is righteous, - for, a trier of hearts and reins, is God the righteous one.

My shield, is held by God, who is ready to save the upright in heart:

His mischief, turneth back, on his own head, - and, on his own crown, his violence, descendeth.

I will praise Yahweh according to his righteousness, - and will praise in song the Name of Yahweh Most High.

O Yahweh, our Lord! How majestic is thy Name, in all the earth, Who hast set thy splendour upon the heavens.

When I view thy heavens, the work, of thy fingers, moon and stars, which thou hast established,

What was weak man, that thou shouldst make mention of him? or the son of the earthborn, that thou shouldst set him in charge?

The bird of the heavens, and the fishes of the sea, - the passer-by on the paths of the seas?

O Yahweh, our Lord! How majestic is thy Name, in all the earth.

I will rejoice and exult in thee, I will praise in song, thy Name, O most High.

When mine enemies turned back, they stumbled and perished from before thee;

For thou hast executed my right and my cause, Thou hast sat on the throne, judging righteously:

Thou hast rebuked the nations, Thou hast destroyed the lawless one, Their name, hast thou wiped out, to times age-abiding and beyond.

And, he, will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to peoples, in uprightness.

Thus be Yahweh a refuge for the crushed one, a refuge for times of destitution:

Thus let them who know thy Name, put confidence in thee, that thou hast not forsaken the searchers for thee, O Yahweh.

Sing ye praise to Yahweh, who is seated in Zion, Tell among the peoples his doings.

When he was making inquisition for blood, of them, had he remembrance, he forgat not the outcry of the oppressed.

Show me favour, O Yahweh! Behold my humiliation due to them who hate me, Lift me on high out of the gates of death;

That I may recount all thy praises, In the gates of the daughter of Zion, may exult in thy salvation.

The nations, have sunk, in the pit they had made, In the net which they had hidden, is caught their own foot.

To be known is Yahweh, by the sentence he hath executed, By the doing of his own hands, is he about to strike down the lawless one. Refunding music. Selah.

Wherefore, O Yahweh, shouldst thou stand afar off? Wherefore hide thyself, in times of destitution?

In the pride of the lawless one, he hotly pursueth the poor, let them be caught in the plots which they have devised!

For the lawless one hath boasted over the longing of his soul, and, the robber, hath blasphemed Yahweh.

The lawless one, in the loftiness of his countenance, will not enquire, God is not in any of his plots:

His ways are firm at all times, On high, are thy righteous regulations, out of his sight, As for all his adversaries, he puffeth at them:

He hath said in his heart, I shall not be shaken, - From generation to generation, shall I be in no misfortune.

He abideth in the lurking-place of villages, In the hiding-places, he murdereth the innocent, - His eyes, for the unfortunate, are on the watch:

He lieth in wait in a hiding-place, like a lion in his covert, He lieth in wait to catch the humbled, He catcheth the humbled, by drawing him into his net:

He hath said in his heart, GOD hath forgotten, - He hath veiled his face, Oh he hath never seen!

Wherefore hath the lawless one blasphemed God? He hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it !

Thou hast seen! For, thou, mischief and misery, dost discern, to requite with thine own hand, Unto thee, doth, the unfortunate one, give himself up, To the fatherless, thou thyself, hast become a helper.

Shatter thou the arm of the lawless one, And, as for the wrongful, wilt thou not enquire for his lawlessness - wilt thou not find it ?

In Yahweh, have I sought refuge. How can ye say to my soul, Flee to a mountain like a little bird;

For lo! the lawless, bend the bow They have fixed their arrow upon the string, To shoot in the darkness at the upright in heart:

When the pillars are overthrown, What could, a righteous man, do?

Yahweh, is in his holy temple As for Yahweh, in the heavens, is his throne, His eyes, behold - His eyelashes test the sons of men.

Yahweh, putteth, the righteous, to the test, - But the lawless one and the lover of violence, his soul doth hate.

Deception, speak they, every one with his neighbour, - with lips uttering smooth things - with a heart and a heart, do they speak.

Them who say - With our tongue, will we prevail, our lips, are our own, who is our master?

Because of violence done to the poor, because of the crying of the needy, Now, will I arise! O may Yahweh say, - I will place him in safety - let him puff at him!

The words of Yahweh, are words, that are pure, silver refined in a crucible of earth, purified seven times!

On every side, the lawless, march about, - when worthlessness is exalted by the sons of men.

How long shall I lay up cares within my soul, sorrow in my heart, day by day? How long shall mine enemy lift himself up over me?

Have regard! answer me O Yahweh my God, - Light up mine eyes, lest I sleep on into death:

But, I, in thy lovingkindness, have put my trust, My heart shall exult in thy salvation:

The impious hath said in his heart - There is no God! They have acted corruptly, they have done an abominable deed, there is none that doeth good.

Yahweh, out of the heavens, looked down over the sons of men, - to see whether there was one that showed wisdom, enquiring after God: -

The whole, have turned aside, Together have they become tainted, - There is none that doeth good, not so much as, one!

There have they been in great dread, because, God, is in the circle of the righteous man.

Oh that, out of Zion, were granted the salvation of Israel! When Yahweh bringeth back the captives of his people, Jacob, shall exult, Israel, be glad.

O Yahweh! Who shall be a guest in thy tent? Who shall abide in thy holy mountain?

Hath not carried slander on his tongue, hath not done his friend a wrong, nor, a reproach, taken up against his neighbour;

Despised in his sight, is the reprobate, but, them who revere Yahweh, he doth honour, he hath sworn to his neighbour, and will not change;

His silver, hath he not put out on interest, nor, a bribe against the innocent, hath he taken. He that doeth these things, shall not be shaken unto times age-abiding.

Preserve me, O GOD, for I have sought refuge in thee.

It belongeth unto the holy ones, whom, in his own land, Yahweh, ennobleth, In whom is all his delight

They multiply their idols - another, have they purchased! I will not pour out their drink-offerings of blood, nor will I take up their names on my lips.

The lines, have fallen unto me, in pleasant places, Verily an inheritance that delighteth me.

I have set Yahweh before me continually, because he is on my right hand, I shall not be shaken!

Hear, O Yahweh, the right, Attend to my loud cry, Give ear unto my prayer, on lips that would not deceive:

As for the workings of men, By the word of thy lips, have, I, taken heed of the paths of the violent one.

Thou hast held fast my goings on to thy ways, My footsteps have not been shaken:

Their own fat heart , have they shut up, - With their mouth, have they spoken proudly.

As for our own goings, now, have they surrounded us, - Their eyes, they fix, bending to the earth:

His likeness, is as a lion, that longeth to rend, and as a young lion, lurking in secret places.

Rise, Yahweh! Confront his face, Bring him down, Deliver my soul from the lawless one who is thy sword:

I, in righteousness, shall behold thy face, Shall be satisfied when awakened by a vision of thee.

Yahweh, was my mountain crag and my stronghold, and my deliverer: My GOD, was my rock, I sought refuge in him, My shield, and my horn of salvation, my high tower.

In my distress, called I on Yahweh, And, unto my God, made outcry for help, He heard, out of his temple, my voice, And my outcry for help came before him - entered into his ears!

There went up smoke in his nostrils, and, a fire out of his mouth, devoured, Live coals, were kindled from it:

Then he rode on a cherub, and flew, and darted on the wings of the wind;

Then did Yahweh thunder in the heavens, and the Highest uttered his voice, - hail, and live coals of fire.

He sent from on high, he took me, - he drew me out of many waters.

He rescued me from my foe, in his might, and from them who hated me, because they were too strong for me:

They confronted me, in the day of my necessity, Then became Yahweh my stay:

And brought me out, into a large place, he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

For, as for thee, an oppressed people, thou didst save, but, looks that were lofty, layedst thou low;

As for GOD, blameless is his way, The speech of Yahweh hath been proved, A shield, he is to all who seek refuge in him.
