Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in Yahweh's house forever. A Psalm by David.

{A Psalm of David.} The earth is the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

Who may ascend to Yahweh's hill? Who may stand in his holy place?

Such purity characterizes the people who seek his favor, Jacob's descendants, who pray to him. (Selah)

Lift up your heads, gates! Be lifted up, ancient doors, so the King of Glory may come in.

Lift up your heads, gates! Be lifted up, ancient doors, so the King of Glory may come in.

Good and upright is the Lord: so he will be the teacher of sinners in the way.

All the Lord’s ways show faithful love and truth
to those who keep His covenant and decrees.

For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.

The intimate counsel of the LORD is for those who fear him so they may know his covenant.

My eyes look to the LORD continuously, because he's the one who releases my feet from the trap.

See mine affliction and my misery, And bear with all my sins.

See my enemies, for they have been many, And with violent hatred they have hated me.

Put me in the scales, O Lord, so that I may be tested; let the fire make clean my thoughts and my heart.

I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O LORD:

so I may praise you loudly with thanksgiving and declare all your wondrous acts.

One thing I have asked of Yahweh, that I will seek after, that I may dwell in the house of Yahweh all the days of my life, to see Yahweh's beauty, and to inquire in his temple.

For in the time of trouble he will keep me safe in his tent: in the secret place of his tent he will keep me from men's eyes; high on a rock he will put me.

My mind recalls your word, "Seek my face," so your face, LORD, I will seek.

I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

My cry goes up to you, O Lord, my Rock; do not keep back your answer from me, so that I may not become like those who go down into the underworld.

Do not take me away with the sinners and the workers of evil, who say words of peace to their neighbours, but evil is in their hearts.

For they do not understand the Lord's actions, or the way he carries out justice. The Lord will permanently demolish them.

Yahweh [is] my strength and my shield. My heart trusts him and I am helped. So my heart rejoices, and with my song I will give thanks to him.

A psalm of David. Acknowledge the Lord, you heavenly beings, acknowledge the Lord's majesty and power!

Acknowledge the majesty of the Lord's reputation! Worship the Lord in holy attire!

Yahweh's voice is on the waters. The God of glory thunders, even Yahweh on many waters.

Yahweh's voice is powerful. Yahweh's voice is full of majesty.

The Lord's shout breaks the cedars, the Lord shatters the cedars of Lebanon.

Yahweh's voice strikes with flashes of lightning.

Yahweh's voice shakes the wilderness. Yahweh shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

The voice of Jehovah maketh the hinds to calve, and layeth bare the forests; and in his temple doth every one say, Glory!

LORD, you brought me from death; you kept me alive so that I did not descend into the Pit.

For his anger lasts only a brief moment, and his good favor restores one's life. One may experience sorrow during the night, but joy arrives in the morning.

And in my prosperity I said, "I shall never be removed." And why? Thou, LORD, of thy goodness, hast made my hill so strong.

So that honour doth praise Thee, and is not silent, O Jehovah, my God, to the age I thank Thee!

For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.

I will rejoice and be glad in Your steadfast love,
Because You have seen my affliction;
You have taken note of my life’s distresses,

I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without fled from me.

I have gone from men's minds and memory like a dead man; I am like a broken vessel.

For I hear what so many are saying, the terrifying news that comes from every direction. When they plot together against me, they figure out how they can take my life.

But as for me, I trust you, O Yahweh. I say, "You [are] my God."

Make Your face shine upon Your servant;
Save me in Your lovingkindness.

Let the false lips be shut, which say evil against the upright, looking down on him in their pride.

For day and night Your hand was heavy on me;
my strength was drained
as in the summer’s heat.Selah

I will acknowledge my sin unto thee; and mine unrighteousness have I not hid. I said, "I will confess my sins unto the LORD." And so thou forgavest the wickedness of my sin. Selah.

Be not like the horse, or like the mule, who have no understanding, whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, so that they do not come near you.

An evil person suffers much pain, but the Lord's faithfulness overwhelms the one who trusts in him.

For the Lord's decrees are just, and everything he does is fair.

He loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of the Lord’s unfailing love.

By Yahweh's word, the heavens were made; all their army by the breath of his mouth.

He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.

The Lord's purpose is eternal, the designs of his heart go on through all the generations of man.

Jehovah looked from the heavens; he saw all the sons of man.

From the place where he lives he looks carefully at all the earth's inhabitants.

A king's salvation is not in the power of his army; a strong man does not get free by his great strength.

Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon those who fear Him [and worship Him with awe-inspired reverence and obedience],
On those who hope [confidently] in His compassion and lovingkindness,

So shall our heart rejoice in him, because we have hoped in his holy name.

LORD, may your gracious love be upon us, even as we hope in you. By David, when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, who drove him away. So David left.

My soul will say great things of the Lord: the poor in spirit will have knowledge of it and be glad.

Proclaim Yahweh’s greatness with me;
let us exalt His name together.

I sought the Lord's help and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.

This poor man's cry came before the Lord, and he gave him salvation from all his troubles.

The Lord's angel camps around the Lord's loyal followers and delivers them.

O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

Keep yourselves in the fear of the Lord, all you his saints; for those who do so will have no need of anything.

What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?

Yahweh's eyes are toward the righteous. His ears listen to their cry.

Yahweh's face is against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth.

He keepeth all his bones, so that not one of them is broken.

Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.

Let them be as chaff before the wind, Yahweh's angel driving them on.

Let their way be dark and slippery, Yahweh's angel pursuing them.

All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?

I paced about as for my friend or my brother, and fell down mourning as one weeps for one's mother.

O Jehovah, how long wilt thou see? Turn back my soul from their destruction, my only one from the lions.

So will I give thee thanks in the great congregation; I will praise thee among much people.

For they do not say words of peace; in their deceit they are designing evil things against the quiet ones in the land.

They open their mouths wide against me;
They say, “Aha, aha, our eyes have seen it!”

You saw it, Lord; do not be silent.
Lord, do not be far from me.

Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.

Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

For the music director; written by the Lord's servant, David; an oracle. An evil man is rebellious to the core. He does not fear God,

Your righteousness is like the highest mountains;
Your judgments, like the deepest sea.
Lord, You preserve man and beast.

How precious is thy loving-kindness, O God! So the sons of men take refuge under the shadow of thy wings.

For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.

I can see the evildoers! They have fallen! They have been knocked down and are unable to get up!

Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

Take delight in the Lord,
and He will give you your heart’s desires.

So will he bring forth, as the light, thy righteousness, and thy vindication as the noonday.

Be silent in the LORD's presence and wait patiently for him. Don't be angry because of the one whose way prospers or the one who implements evil schemes.

Jehovah shall laugh at him: for he saw that his day will come.

But the wicked will perish;
the Lord’s enemies, like the glory of the pastures,
will fade away—
they will fade away like smoke.

A man's goings are established of Jehovah; And he delighteth in his way.

I have been young, and now am old; and yet saw I never the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging their bread.

Turn aside from evil and do good and [so] abide forever.

For Jehovah love's judgment, and he will not forsake his godly ones; forever they were watched, and the seed of the unjust was cut off.

Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

I saw the unjust one making afraid, and spreading abroad as a green native tree.
