Then they were glad because of the calm,
And He guided them to their desired haven (harbor).

Let them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness,
And for His wonderful acts to the children of men!

And there He has the hungry dwell,
So that they may establish an inhabited city,

Also He blesses them so that they multiply greatly,
And He does not let [the number of] their cattle decrease.

He pours contempt on princes
And makes them wander in a pathless wasteland.

I will praise and give thanks to You, O Lord, among the people;
And I will sing praises to You among the nations.

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

“Moab is My washbowl;
Over Edom I will throw My shoe [to show Edom is Mine];
Over Philistia I will shout [in triumph].”

With God we will do valiantly,
For it is He who will trample down our enemies.

For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me;
They have spoken against me with a lying tongue.

In return for my love, they attack me,
But I am in prayer.

Let there be no one to extend kindness to him,
Nor let anyone be gracious to his fatherless children.

Because the man did not remember to show kindness,
But persecuted the suffering and needy man,
And the brokenhearted, to put them to death.

Let it be to him as a robe with which he covers himself,
And as a sash with which he is constantly bound.

I also have become a reproach and an object of taunting to others;
When they see me, they shake their heads [in derision].

Help me, O Lord my God;
Save me according to Your lovingkindness—

Let them curse, but You bless.
When adversaries arise, let them be ashamed,
But let Your servant rejoice.

I will give great praise and thanks to the Lord with my mouth;
And in the midst of many I will praise Him.

For He will stand at the right hand of the needy,
To save him from those who judge his soul.

The Lord (Father) says to my Lord (the Messiah, His Son),
“Sit at My right hand
Until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet [subjugating them into complete submission].”

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.

The Lord is at Your right hand,
He will crush kings in the day of His wrath.

Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)
I will give thanks to the Lord with all my heart,
In the company of the upright and in the congregation.

He has made His wonderful acts to be remembered;
The Lord is gracious and merciful and full of loving compassion.

He has given food to those who fear Him [with awe-inspired reverence];
He will remember His covenant forever.

He has declared and made known to His people the power of His works,
In giving them the heritage of the nations.

He has sent redemption to His people;
He has ordained His covenant forever;
Holy and awesome is His name—[inspiring reverence and godly fear].

The [reverent] fear of the Lord is the beginning (the prerequisite, the absolute essential, the alphabet) of wisdom;
A good understanding and a teachable heart are possessed by all those who do the will of the Lord;
His praise endures forever.

Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)
Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the man who fears the Lord [with awe-inspired reverence and worships Him with obedience],
Who delights greatly in His commandments.

His heart is upheld, he will not fear
While he looks [with satisfaction] on his adversaries.

He has given freely to the poor;
His righteousness endures forever;
His horn will be exalted in honor.

The wicked will see it and be angered,
He will gnash his teeth and melt away [in despair and death];
The desire of the wicked will perish and come to nothing.

From the rising of the sun to its setting
The name of the Lord is to be praised [with awe-inspired reverence].

Who humbles Himself to regard
The heavens and the earth?

He makes the barren woman live in the house
As a joyful mother of children.
Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)

Not to us, O Lord, not to us,
But to Your name give glory
Because of Your lovingkindness, because of Your truth and faithfulness.

The heavens are the heavens of the Lord,
But the earth He has given to the children of men.

Because He has inclined His ear to me,
Therefore I will call on Him as long as I live.

Return to your rest, O my soul,
For the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.

I believed [and clung to my God] when I said,
“I am greatly afflicted.”

What will I give to the Lord [in return]
For all His benefits toward me?
[How can I repay Him for His precious blessings?]

I will pay my vows to the Lord,
Yes, in the presence of all His people.

I will offer to You the sacrifice of thanksgiving,
And will call on the name of the Lord.

I will pay my vows to the Lord,
Yes, in the presence of all His people,

O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;
For His lovingkindness endures forever.

The Lord is on my side; I will not fear.
What can [mere] man do to me?

It is better to take refuge in the Lord
Than to trust in man.

It is better to take refuge in the Lord
Than to trust in princes.

I will not die, but live,
And declare the works and recount the illustrious acts of the Lord.

The Lord has disciplined me severely,
But He has not given me over to death.

Open to me the [temple] gates of righteousness;
I shall enter through them, I shall give thanks to the Lord.

I will give thanks to You, for You have heard and answered me;
And You have become my salvation [my Rescuer, my Savior].

This [day in which God has saved me] is the day which the Lord has made;
Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

O Lord, save now, we beseech You;
O Lord, we beseech You, send now prosperity and give us success!

The Lord is God, and He has given us light [illuminating us with His grace and freedom and joy].
Bind the festival sacrifices with cords to the horns of the altar.

You are my God, and I give thanks to You;
[You are] my God, I extol You.

O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;
For His lovingkindness endures forever.

How blessed and favored by God are those whose way is blameless [those with personal integrity, the upright, the guileless],
Who walk in the law [and who are guided by the precepts and revealed will] of the Lord.

Blessed and favored by God are those who keep His testimonies,
And who [consistently] seek Him and long for Him with all their heart.

They do no unrighteousness;
They walk in His ways.

You have ordained Your precepts,
That we should follow them with [careful] diligence.

Oh, that my ways may be established
To observe and keep Your statutes [obediently accepting and honoring them]!

Then I will not be ashamed
When I look [with respect] to all Your commandments [as my guide].

I will give thanks to You with an upright heart,
When I learn [through discipline] Your righteous judgments [for my transgressions].

Beth.
How can a young man keep his way pure?
By keeping watch [on himself] according to Your word [conforming his life to Your precepts].

I will meditate on Your precepts
And [thoughtfully] regard Your ways [the path of life established by Your precepts].

Daleth.
My earthly life clings to the dust;
Revive and refresh me according to Your word.

I have told of my ways, and You have answered me;
Teach me Your statutes.

My soul dissolves because of grief;
Renew and strengthen me according to [the promises of] Your word.

Remove from me the way of falsehood and unfaithfulness,
And graciously grant me Your law.

I cling tightly to Your testimonies;
O Lord, do not put me to shame!

He.
Teach me, O Lord, the way of Your statutes,
And I will [steadfastly] observe it to the end.

Make me walk in the path of Your commandments,
For I delight in it.

Incline my heart to Your testimonies
And not to dishonest gain and envy.

Turn my eyes away from vanity [all those worldly, meaningless things that distract—let Your priorities be mine],
And restore me [with renewed energy] in Your ways.

Establish Your word and confirm Your promise to Your servant,
As that which produces [awe-inspired] reverence for You.

Vav.
May Your lovingkindness also come to me, O Lord,
Your salvation according to Your promise;

I will also speak of Your testimonies before kings
And shall not be ashamed.

And I shall lift up my hands to Your commandments,
Which I love;
And I will meditate on Your statutes.

Zayin.
Remember [always] the word and promise to Your servant,
In which You have made me hope.

Heth.
The Lord is my portion;
I have promised to keep Your words.

I sought Your favor with all my heart;
Be merciful and gracious to me according to Your promise.

I considered my ways
And turned my feet to [follow and obey] Your testimonies.

I hurried and did not delay
To keep Your commandments.

At midnight I will rise to give thanks to You
Because of Your righteous ordinances.

I am a companion of all who [reverently] fear You,
And of those who keep and honor Your precepts.

Teth.
You have dealt well with Your servant,
O Lord, according to Your promise.

Teach me good judgment (discernment) and knowledge,
For I have believed and trusted and relied on Your commandments.

Before I was afflicted I went astray,
But now I keep and honor Your word [with loving obedience].

You are good and do good;
Teach me Your statutes.

The law from Your mouth is better to me
Than thousands of gold and silver pieces.

O may Your lovingkindness and graciousness comfort me,
According to Your word (promise) to Your servant.

Let Your compassion come to me that I may live,
For Your law is my delight.

Let the arrogant be ashamed and humiliated, for they sabotage me with a lie;
But I will meditate on Your precepts.

May those who fear You [with submissive wonder] turn to me,
Even those who have known Your testimonies.

May my heart be blameless in Your statutes,
So that I will not be ashamed.

For I have become like a wineskin [blackened and shriveled] in the smoke [in which it hangs],
Yet I do not forget Your statutes.

The arrogant (godless) have dug pits for me,
Men who do not conform to Your law.

According to Your steadfast love refresh me and give me life,
So that I may keep and obey the testimony of Your mouth.

Your faithfulness continues from generation to generation;
You have established the earth, and it stands [securely].
