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

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 seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.

His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.

He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.

The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.

Let the Lord be praised. O you servants of the Lord, give praise to the name of the Lord.

Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore.

From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD'S name is to be praised.

He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.

From before the Lord be afraid, O earth, From before the God of Jacob,

Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name let glory be given, because of your mercy and your unchanging faith.

Their idols are silver and gold,
made by human hands.

They that make them shall be like unto them; Yea, every one that trusteth in them.

O Israel, trust and take refuge in the Lord! [Be confident in Him, cling to Him, rely on His word!]
He is their help and their shield.

May you be blessed of the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth.

But we will give praise to the Lord now and for ever. Praise be to the Lord.

I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.

O Lord, truly I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of her who is your servant; by you have my cords been broken.

I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people,

In the Lord's house, even in Jerusalem. Praise be to the Lord.

For great is his mercy to us, and his faith is unchanging for ever. Praise be to the Lord.

The Lord is for me; I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me?

All nations, have compassed me about, In the Name of Yahweh, surely I will make them be circumcised;

They have compassed me about - yea compassed me about, In the Name of Yahweh, surely I will make them be circumcised;

They have compassed me about like wax bees, they have blazed up like the fire of thorns, In the Name of Yahweh, surely I will make them be circumcised.

I have been hard pushed by you, so that I might have a fall: but the Lord was my helper.

My might and melody, is Yah, and he hath become mine by salvation.

Life and not death will be my part, and I will give out the story of the works of the Lord.

Let the doors of righteousness be open to me; I will go in and give praise to the Lord.

I will thank thee, because thou hast answered me, And hast become mine, by salvation.

The stone the builders refused will be for the head of the corner.

This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.

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.

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.

Thou hast enjoined thy precepts, to be kept diligently.

Oh would that my ways might be settled! that I might keep thy statutes.

Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.

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

BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.

With all my heart, have I sought thee, Suffer me not to be led astray from thy commandments.

Lord, may You be praised;
teach me Your statutes.

With my lips will I be telling out all the judgments of thy mouth.

I rejoice in the way revealed by Your decrees
as much as in all riches.

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

My delight shall be in thy statutes, and I will not forget thy words.

(Gimel) Be kind to your servant! Then I will live and keep your instructions.

Let my eyes be open to see the wonders of your law.

I am living in a strange land: do not let your teachings be kept secret from me.

I am continually overcome
with longing for Your judgments.

Make the way of your orders clear to me; then my thoughts will be ever on your wonders.

I collapse from grief. Sustain me by your word!

I cleave unto thy testimonies; Jehovah, let me not be ashamed.

(He) Teach me, O Lord, the lifestyle prescribed by your statutes, so that I might observe it continually.

Help me live my life by your commands, because my joy is in them.

Let my heart be turned to your unchanging word, and not to evil desire.

Let my eyes be turned away from what is false; give me life in your ways.

Fulfill your promise to your servant, that you may be feared.

So that my way may be in a wide place: because my search has been for your orders.

I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed.

My delight shall be in thy commandments, which I love.

And so that my hands may be stretched out to you; and I will give thought to your rules.

Remember what you said to your servant, by which you caused me to hope.

I remembered thy judgments from forever, O Jehovah, and I shall be comforted.

A raging heat, hath seized me, by reason of the lawless, who forsake thy law.

This shall be to me, for I watched thy charges.

The Lord is my heritage: I have said that I would be ruled by your words.

I intreated thy favour with my whole heart: be merciful unto me according to thy word.

I was quick to do your orders, and let no time be wasted.

Teach me proper discernment and understanding! For I consider your commands to be reliable.

Before I shall be humbled I go astray: and now I watched thy word.

It was good for me to be afflicted
so that I could learn Your statutes.

They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word.

I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou of very faithfulness hast caused me to be troubled.

Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant.

Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts.

Let your worshippers be turned to me, and those who have knowledge of your words.

Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed.

My eyes grow tired as I wait for your promise to be fulfilled. I say, "When will you comfort me?"

Though I have become like a wineskin dried by smoke,
I do not forget Your statutes.

How many shall be the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?

All thy commandments are true. They persecute me falsely; O be thou my help.

Give me life in your mercy; so that I may be ruled by the unchanging word of your mouth.

By thine ordinances they stand this day; for all things are thy servants.

I will never forget thy precepts; for by them thou hast quickened me.

I am yours, O be my saviour; for my desire has been for your rules.

Beyond mine enemies, will thy commandment make me wise, for, age-abidingly, shall it be mine.

I have kept back my feet from all evil ways, so that I might be true to your word.

(Nun) Your word is a lamp to walk by, and a light to illumine my path.

I have made an oath and kept it, to be guided by your upright decisions.

Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope.

Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually.

Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me.

My eyes grow tired as I wait for your deliverance, for your reliable promise to be fulfilled.

Be good to your servant in your mercy, and give me teaching in your rules.
