Worship the Lord and serve Him with reverence [with awe-inspired fear and submissive wonder];

The Lord has given ear to my request; the Lord has let my prayer come before him.

O Lord my God, I put my faith in you; take me out of the hands of him who is cruel to me, and make me free;

If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)

Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.

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.

He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.

His wrongdoing will come back to him, and his violent behaviour will come down on his head.

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:

The evil-doer in his pride is cruel to the poor; let him be taken by the tricks of his invention.

For the evil-doer is lifted up because of the purpose of his heart, and he whose mind is fixed on wealth is turned away from the Lord, saying evil against him.

The wicked, in the haughtiness of his countenance, does not seek Him.
All his thoughts are, “There is no God.”

Pain do his ways at all times, On high are Thy judgments before him, All his adversaries -- he puffeth at them.

He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.

Rise up, Lord! O God, strike him down! Do not forget the oppressed!

Break the arm of the wicked and evil man! Hold him accountable for his wicked deeds, which he thought you would not discover.

Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

Lest mine enemy shall say, I prevailed against him; mine adversaries shall exult when I shall be moved.

The Lord has looked down from heaven upon the children of men
To see if there are any who understand (act wisely),
Who [truly] seek after God, [longing for His wisdom and guidance].

There they tremble with great fear,
For God is with the [consistently] righteous generation.

In his eyes an evil person is despised,
But he honors those who fear the Lord [and obediently worship Him with awe-inspired reverence and submissive wonder].
He keeps his word even to his own disadvantage and does not change it [for his own benefit];

Our steps now have compassed him;' Their eyes they set to turn aside in the land.

Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword:

As for me, I shall see your face in righteousness. I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with seeing your form. For the Chief Musician. By David the servant of Yahweh, who spoke to Yahweh the words of this song in the day that Yahweh delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. He said,

{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD, who spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul: And he said,} I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.

Jehovah is my rock, and my bulwark, And my deliverer, My God is my rock, I trust in Him: My shield, and a horn of my salvation, My high tower.

Smoke went forth from his nose, and fire from his mouth consumed. Burning coals blazed from him.

He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.

The Lord dealt with me according to my righteousness (moral character, spiritual integrity);
According to the cleanness of my hands He has rewarded me.

I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.

Therefore the Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness (moral character, spiritual integrity),
According to the cleanness of my hands in His sight.

On him who has mercy you will have mercy; to the upright you will be upright;

As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.

Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.

The Lord will deliver the king; he will answer us when we call to him for help!

Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah.

For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head.

He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever.

His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him.

For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.

My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.

The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.

All the ends of the earth will keep it in mind and be turned to the Lord: all the families of the nations will give him worship.

All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.

A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.

He refreshes and restores my soul (life);
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
for His name’s sake.

He shall receive a praise from Jehovah, and justice from God saving him.

This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.

What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.

The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.

Though a host of men were laid against me, yet shall not my heart be afraid; and though there rose up war against me, yet will I put my trust in him.

One thing have I asked of Jehovah, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of Jehovah, and to inquire of him in his temple.

Thou wilt not give me to the soul of him pressing me, for witnesses of falsehood rose up against me, and violence will blow.

Because they have no respect for the works of the Lord, or for the things which his hands have made, they will be broken down and not lifted up by him.

The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

Jehovah is strength to him, Yea, the strength of the salvation of His anointed is He.

By David. -- An Instruction. O the happiness of him whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered.

Happy the man Jehovah will not reckon sin to him, and no deceit in his spirit

For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.

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.

Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.

Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous [who actively seek right standing with Him];
Shout for joy, all you upright in heart.

You godly ones, shout for joy because of the Lord! It is appropriate for the morally upright to offer him praise.

Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.

Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.
