But, in the law of Yahweh, is his delight, - and, in his law, doth he talk with himself day and night.

Let me tell of a decree, - Yahweh, hath said unto me, My son, thou art, I, to-day, have begotten thee:

With my voice - unto Yahweh, do I cry, and he hath answered me out of his holy mountain. Selah.

To Yahweh, belongeth Salvation! Upon thy people, be thy blessing. Selah.

Ye sons of the great! how long, turning my glory to contempt, will ye love emptiness, will ye seek falsehood? Selah.

Know ye, then, that Yahweh hath set apart the man of lovingkindness for himself: Yahweh, will hear, when I cry to him.

Be deeply moved, but do not sin, - Ponder in your own heart upon your bed, and be silent. Selah.

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

To my words, give ear, O Yahweh, Understand thou my softly murmured prayer:

Attend to the voice of my cry, my King and my God, for, unto thee, do I pray.

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.

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

I am weary with my sighing, I flood, through the whole night, my couch, - With my tears, I cause, my bed, to dissolve:

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

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.

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

Yahweh, will judge the peoples, - Do me justice, O Yahweh, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity upon me,

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:

A God to vindicate the righteous, - and yet a Got to be indignant throughout every day.

Lo! he gendereth trouble, and conceiveth mischief, but giveth birth to a disappointment:

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

Out of the mouth of children and sucklings, hast thou laid a foundation of strength, - because of thine adversaries, to make foe and avenger be still.

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.

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

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

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.

The lawless, shall return, to hades, all nations forgetful of God.

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

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:

Arise! Yahweh! O GOD! raise thy hand, - Do not forget the patient!

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.

Yahweh, is king, to times age-abiding and beyond, The nations have perished out of his land.

To vindicate the fatherless and the crushed, A man of the earth, shall, no further, cause terror!

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, 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.

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!

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?

I will sing to Yahweh, for he hath dealt beautifully with me.

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 purpose of the poor, ye would put to shame, because, Yahweh, is his refuge.

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;

For thou wilt not abandon my soul to hades, neither wilt thou suffer thy man of lovingkindness, to see corruption:

Thou wilt cause me to know, the path of life, - Fulness of joys before thee, Pleasures at thy right hand evermore.

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

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

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.

From men who are thy hand, O Yahweh, From the men of this age, whose portion, is among the living, and, with thy treasure, thou fillest their bosom, - They must be satisfied with sons, And must leave their abundance to their children: -

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:

Yahweh rewarded me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, he repaid me;

Yahweh therefore repaid me according to my righteousness, according to the pureness of my hands, before his eyes.

With the pure, thou didst show thyself pure, But, with the perverse, thou didst show thyself ready to contend.

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.

Planting my feet like hinds' feet , yea, on my high places, he caused me to stand:

Teaching my hands to war, - so that a bow of bronze was bent by mine arms.

I crushed them, and they were unable to rise, They fell under my feet.

They cried out, but there was none to save, unto Yahweh, but he answered them not.

Thus didst thou rescue me from the contentions of a people, - didst appoint me to be the head of nations, A people I had not known, served me:

At the hearing of the ear, they submitted to me, the sons of the foreigner, came cringing unto me:

For this cause, will I praise thee among the nations, O Yahweh, and, to thy Name, will I sweep the strings: -

Day, unto day, doth pour forth speech, and, night, unto night, doth breathe out knowledge.

Yet through all the earth, hath gone forth their voice, - and, to the end of the world, their sayings, - For the sun, hath he set up a tent therein;

And, he, is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, he rejoiceth as a hero to run a race:

From one end of the heavens, is his going forth, and, his circuit, to the other end thereof - and, nothing, is hid from his glowing heat.

Yahweh answer thee, in the day of distress, The Name of the God of Jacob give thee safety;

Give thee according to thy heart, and, all thy purposes, fulfil.

Now, do I know that Yahweh, hath saved, his Anointed One, - He answereth him out of his holy heavens, by the mighty saving deeds of his own right hand.

Yahweh, hath saved the king. Answer us, then, on the day when we call.

For thou wilt come to meet him, with the blessings of goodness, Thou wilt set on his head, a crown of pure gold.

Life, he asked of thee, Thou hast given it him, length of days, to times age-abiding and beyond.

For thou wilt cause them to turn their back, Upon thy bow-strings, wilt thou make ready against their face.

My God! I keep crying - By day, and thou dost not answer, and, By night, and there is no rest for me.

For, thou, art he that severed me from the womb, he that caused me to trust, upon the breasts of my mother;

Be not far from me, for, distress, is near, For there is none to help.

Dried as a potsherd, is my strength, And, my tongue, is made to cleave to my gums, And, in the dust of death, wilt thou lay me.

But, thou, O Yahweh, be not far off, O my help! to aid me, make haste;

All the ends of the earth, will remember and turn to Yahweh, Yea all the families of the nations, will bow themselves down before thee,

For, to Yahweh, belongeth the kingdom, And One to Rule over the nations.

All the great ones of the earth, shall eat and bow down, Before him shall kneel, all that go down to the dust, Even he who had not kept alive, his own soul!

My seed, shall serve him, It shall he recounted, of the Lord, to a generation that shall come:

That his righteousness may be declared to a people to be born, That he wrought with effect!

To Yahweh, belongeth, The earth and the fulness thereof, The world, and they who dwell therein;

The clean of hands, and pure of heart, - who hath not uplifted, to falsehood, his soul, nor sworn deceitfully,

O my God, in thee, have I put my trust, Let me not be put to shame, Let not my foe exult over me:

Yea let, none who wait for thee, be put to shame, Let them be put to shame who act covertly without cause!

Guide me into thy truth and teach me, for, thou, art my delivering God, For thee, have I waited all the day:

The sins of my youth, and my transgressions, do not thou call to mind, - According to thine own lovingkindness, remember thou me, for the sake of thine own goodness, O Yahweh.

May he guide patient wronged-ones to be righted, and teach such oppressed-ones his way.

All the paths of Yahweh, are lovingkindness and faithfulness, to such as keep his covenant, and his testimonies.

Behold my foes, for they abound, - and, with the hatred of violence, do they hate me.

Oh keep my soul, and rescue me, Let me not be put to shame, for I have sought refuge in thee.

Do me justice, O Yahweh, For, I, in my blamelessness, have walked, and, in Yahweh, have I trusted, I will not waver.

For, thy lovingkindness, hath been before mine eyes, and I have walked to and fro in thy faithfulness;

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