And the humble do possess the land, And they have delighted themselves In the abundance of peace.

The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.

The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.

[The] little belonging to the righteous [is] better than [the] wealth of many wicked.

Jehovah knoweth the days of the perfect, And their inheritance is -- to the age.

They shall not be put to shame in the time of evil; And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

But the wrongdoers will come to destruction, and the haters of the Lord will be like the fat of lambs, they will be burned up; they will go up in smoke, and never again be seen.

The wicked borrow, and don't pay back, but the righteous give generously.

For His blessed ones do possess the land, And His reviled ones are cut off.

The Lord grants success to the one whose behavior he finds commendable.

I was once young, now I am old. I have never seen a godly man abandoned, or his children forced to search for food.

All the day long he dealeth graciously, and lendeth; And his seed is blessed.

Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.

For Jehovah is loving judgment, And He doth not forsake His saintly ones, To the age they have been kept, And the seed of the wicked is cut off.

The righteous, shall inherit the earth, that they may settle down, to futurity, thereupon.

The law of his God is his heart, His steps do not slide.

The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.

The Lord will not leave him in his hand
Or let him be condemned when he is judged.

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.

But he came to an end, and there was no sign of him; I made a search for him and he was not there.

Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright; For there is a happy end to the man of peace.

But, transgressors, are to be destroyed together, the hereafter of lawless men, is to be cut off.

{A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance.} O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

My body is unhealthy due to your anger, and my bones have no rest due to my sin.

For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

My wounds start to stink; they rot because of my foolishness.

I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.

I was moved, I was even greatly bowed down: all the day I went darkened.

Lord, my every desire is known to You;
my sighing is not hidden from You.

My lovers, and my friends, from before my stroke, stand aloof, - and, my near ones, far away, do stand:

They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.

I am like a deaf person; I do not hear.
I am like a speechless person
who does not open his mouth.

Yes, I am as a man who doesn't hear, in whose mouth are no reproofs.

For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.

For I said, “Don’t let them rejoice over me—
those who are arrogant toward me when I stumble.”

For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.

For I do confess my guilt and iniquity;
I am filled with anxiety because of my sin.

They repay evil for good, they attack and try to kill me,
Because I follow what is good.

Do not forsake me, O Jehovah, My God, be not far from me,

Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.

{To the chief Musician, even to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David.} I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.

I was stone silent; I held back the urge to speak. My frustration grew;

LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am.

Look, you have made my days [mere] handbreadths, and my lifespan as nothing next to you. Surely every person standing firm [is] complete vanity. Selah

“Surely every man walks around like a shadow [in a charade];
Surely they make an uproar for nothing;
Each one builds up riches, not knowing who will receive them.

“And now, Lord, for what do I expectantly wait?
My hope [my confident expectation] is in You.

From all my transgressions deliver me; do not make me [the] taunt of [the] fool.

I am mute. I do not open my mouth, for you, yourself, have done [it].

Please stop wounding me! You have almost beaten me to death!

When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man is vanity. Selah.

Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, And to my cry give ear, Unto my tear be not silent, For a sojourner I am with Thee, A settler like all my fathers.

Turn Your angry gaze from me
so that I may be cheered up
before I die and am gone.”

{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.} I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

And He doth cause me to come up From a pit of desolation -- from mire of mud, And He raiseth up on a rock my feet, He is establishing my steps.

And He putteth in my mouth a new song, 'Praise to our God.' Many do see and fear, and trust in Jehovah.

Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

Sacrifice and meal offering You do not desire, nor do You delight in them;
You have opened my ears and given me the capacity to hear [and obey Your word];
Burnt offerings and sin offerings You do not require.

Then I say, "Look! I come! What is written in the scroll pertains to me.

I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.

I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly;
see, I do not keep my mouth closed—
as You know, Lord.

Thy righteousness I have not concealed In the midst of my heart, Thy faithfulness and Thy salvation I have told, I have not hidden Thy kindness and Thy truth, To the great assembly.

Thou, O Jehovah, restrainest not Thy mercies from me, Thy kindness and Thy truth do continually keep me.

For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.

Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me.

Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.

They are desolate because of their shame, Who are saying to me, 'Aha, aha.'

May all those who seek you be happy and rejoice in you! May those who love to experience your deliverance say continually, "May the Lord be praised!"

Even though I am afflicted and needy,
Still the Lord takes thought and is mindful of me.
You are my help and my rescuer.
O my God, do not delay.

{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.} Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.

Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive; he shall be made happy in the land; and thou wilt not deliver him to the will of his enemies.

Yahweh sustains him on [his] sick bed. In his illness, you {restore to health}.

As for me, I said, “O Lord, be gracious to me;
Heal my soul, for I have sinned against You.”

Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?

And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it.

All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.

“A wicked thing is poured out upon him and holds him;
And when he lies down, he will not rise up again.”

Even the man whom I used to salute, in whom I put confidence, who used to eat my bread, - hath magnified his heel against me!

And Thou, Jehovah, favour me, And cause me to rise, And I give recompence to them.

By this I know that you delight in me, because my enemy doesn't triumph over me.

As to me, in mine integrity, Thou hast taken hold upon me, And causest me to stand before Thee to the age.

Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.

{To the chief Musician, Maschil, for the sons of Korah.} As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.

My soul thirsted for God, for the living God, When do I enter and see the face of God?

My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?

When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.

Why are you depressed, O my soul? Why are you upset? Wait for God! For I will again give thanks to my God for his saving intervention.

O my God, my soul is cast down within me: Therefore do I remember thee from the land of the Jordan, And the Hermons, from the hill Mizar.

Deep calls to deep at the [thundering] sound of Your waterfalls;
All Your breakers and Your waves have rolled over me.

Yet Jehovah will command his lovingkindness in the day-time; And in the night his song shall be with me, Even a prayer unto the God of my life.

I say to God my rock, 'Why hast Thou forgotten me? Why go I mourning in the oppression of an enemy?

As with a crushing in my bones mine adversaries reproach me, while they say unto me all the day, Where is thy God?

Why are you depressed, O my soul? Why are you upset? Wait for God! For I will again give thanks to my God for his saving intervention.

For thou art the God of my strength. Why hast Thou cast me off? Why mourning do I go up and down, In the oppression of an enemy?

O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.

Then I will go to the altar of God,
To God, my exceeding joy;
With the lyre I will praise You, O God, my God!

Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God, because I will praise him once again, since his presence saves me and he is my God. To the Director: An instruction of the Sons of Korah.

{To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, Maschil.} We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.

Thou, by thy hand, didst dispossess the nations, but them thou didst plant; thou didst afflict the peoples, but them didst thou cause to spread out.

For, not by their sword Possessed they the land, And their arm gave not salvation to them, But Thy right hand, and Thine arm, And the light of Thy countenance, Because Thou hadst accepted them.
