Book One

1 The happinesses of the man who walks not in the advice of the wicked,

and stands not in the pathway of sinners,

and sits not in the seat of scoffers,

2 but in the instruction of Yahweh, is his delight,

and in his instruction he meditates day and night.

3 And he is like a tree set to grow by streams of water,

which gives its fruit in its season,

and its leaf does not wither,

and he makes successful all that he does.

4 Not so the wicked!

But, they are like the chaff that wind chases away.

5 Thus the wicked will not stand in the judgment,

nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6 For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous,

but the way of the wicked will perish.

2 Why do nations conspire

and peoples plot futilely?

2 The kings of the earth take their stand,

and the rulers conspire together

against Yahweh and against his anointed.

3 “Let us tear apart their bonds

and cast their cords away from us.”

4 He who is sitting in the heavens laughs;

the Lord mocks them.

5 Then he will speak to them in his anger

and terrify them in his fury,

6 “I, I have poured out my king

on Zion, the mountain of my holiness.”

7 I will describe a decree of Yahweh.

He said to me, “You are my son!

Today I have begotten you.

8 Ask from me, and I will give nations, as your inheritance

and the extremities of the earth, as your possession.

9 You will break them with an iron rod;

like a jar of a potter, you will smash them to pieces.”

10 And now kings, act prudently;

be admonished, rulers of the earth.

11 Serve Yahweh with fear

and rejoice with trembling.

12 Kiss the son, lest he be angry

and you perish in the way,

for his anger burns for just a moment.

The happinesses of all the seekers of refuge in him.

3 A psalm David, he fled the face of son

1 Yahweh, how many my oppressors have become!

The risers against me are many.

2 There are many sayers about me,

“There is no salvation for him in God.” Selah

3 But you, Yahweh, are a shield round about me,

my glory, and the lifter up of my head.

4 With my voice I call to Yahweh,

and he answered me from the hill of his holiness. Selah

5 I laid myself down and slept. I awoke,

for Yahweh protects me.

6 I will not fear the multitudes of people

who stand against me round about.

7 Rise up, Yahweh! Save me, my God!

For you hit all my enemies on the cheek;

the teeth of the wicked you break.

8 Salvation, is of Yahweh.

Your blessing, is on your people. Selah

4 For the chief musician; stringed instruments; psalm David.

1 Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness;

in distress you relieve me.

Be gracious, to me and hear my prayer.

2 Son of man, until when, will my glory become shame?

Until when will you love futility, until when will you seek falsehood? Selah

3 But know that Yahweh has set apart the faithful for himself.

Yahweh hears when I call to him.

4 Tremble and do not sin!

Meditate in your heart on your bed and be silent. Selah

5 Sacrifice sacrifices of righteousness

and trust in Yahweh.

6 Many say, “Who will show us good?”

Lift up the light of your face on us, Yahweh!

7 You have put joy in my heart

more than the time, when their grain and their new wine abound.

8 In peace I will both lie down and sleep,

for you alone, Yahweh, cause me to dwell securely.

5 For the chief musician; the flutes; psalm David

1 To my words give ear, Yahweh!

Understand my murmuring!

2 Listen attentively to the sound of my cry for help,

my king and my God,

for to you I pray!

3 Yahweh, in the morning you hear my voice.

In the morning I prepare for you and watch.

4 For you are not a god pleased with wickedness;

evil ones will not sojourn with you.

5 The arrogant will not stand in front of your eyes;

you hate all doers of iniquity.

6 You will destroy speakers of falsehood;

the man of blood and deceit Yahweh abhors.

7 But I, in the greatness of your covenant faithfulness, I will come into your house;

I will bow down toward your temple of holiness in fear.

8 Yahweh, guide me in your righteousness because of my watchers;

straighten before my face your path.

9 For there is no firmness in his mouth;

their inward being is destruction.

An open tomb is their throat;

their tongue they make smooth.

10 Make them guilty, God;

may they fall due to their schemes!

Because of their many transgressions, drive them out,

for they rebel against you!

11 But may all refuge seekers in you rejoice;

may they shout joyfully to eternity,

and may you cover over them,

and may lovers of your name exult in you.

12 For you, Yahweh, you bless the righteous,

you surround him, with favor as a shield.

6 For the chief musician; stringed instruments; psalm David.

1 Yahweh, rebuke me not in your nose,

and in your rage discipline me not.

2 Be gracious, to me, Yahweh, for I am frail!

Heal me, Yahweh, for my bones are shaking!

3 And my soul is very disturbed.

And you, Yahweh, until when?

4 Turn back, Yahweh! Rescue my soul!

Save me for the sake of your covenant faithfulness!

5 For in death, there is no remembrance of you.

In Sheol, who will thank you?

6 I am weary with my groaning.

During every night, I cause my bed to swim,

With my tears, my couch I melt.

7 My eye has wasted away from grief,

it advances because of all my adversaries.

8 Turn away from me, all you doers of iniquity,

for Yahweh has heard the sound of my sobbing!

9 Yahweh has heard my appeal for mercy,

Yahweh accepts my prayer.

10 Let all my enemies be shamed and greatly disturbed.

Let them turn back. Let them be shamed, in an instant.

7 A musical composition David, sang Yahweh words Cush

1 Yahweh my God, in you I have taken refuge;

save me from all my pursuers, and rescue me!

2 Lest he rip my life apart like a lion,

tearing apart, and there is no one to rescue.

3 Yahweh my God, if I have done this,

if there is wrong on my hands,

4 if I have repaid evil, to one, who was at peace with me,

or senselessly rescued my adversary,

5 let my enemy pursue my soul and overtake, it,

and let him trample my life to the ground

and cause my honor to live in the dust. Selah

6 Arise, Yahweh!

In your nose, be lifted with the rage of my adversaries!

And wake up for me!

You have ordered judgment.

7 And an assembly of peoples surround you,

and over it return on high!

8 Yahweh, adjudicate the peoples!

Judge me, Yahweh,

according to my righteousness and according to my integrity, Most High!

9 May the evil of the wicked end, and, would you establish the righteous.

The righteous God examines hearts and kidneys.

10 My shield is with God,

the savior of the upright of heart.

11 God is a righteous judge,

and a God, who is indignant on every day.

12 If he does not repent, his sword he will sharpen,

his bow he has bent and prepared.

13 And for him he has prepared implements of death;

he has made his arrows into burning, arrows.

14 Behold he is pregnant with wickedness,

and he conceives trouble,

and he births lies.

15 He digs a pit and hollows it out

and falls into the hole he has made.

16 His trouble returns on his head,

and his violence comes down on the top of his head.

17 I will thank Yahweh according to his righteousness,

and sing praise to the name of Yahweh, the Most High.

8 For the chief musician; psalm David.

1 Yahweh, our Lord, how magnificent is your name in all the earth,

you whose splendor is bestowed on the heavens.

2 Out of the mouth of children and nursing ones you have established strength

because of your adversaries,

to cause the enemy and avenger to end.

3 When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,

the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,

4 what is mankind that you remember him,

or the son of man that you pay attention to him?

5 Yet you have made him to lack little from the heavenly beings,

and, with glory and majesty you have crowned him.

6 You made him rule over the works of your hands,

everything you have put under his feet:

7 sheep and oxen—all of them,

and also the animals of the field,

8 birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea,

the passers, on the paths of the seas.

9 Yahweh, our Lord,

how magnificent is your name in all the earth!

9 For the chief musician; Death the Son.” psalm David.

1 I will thank Yahweh with all my heart,

I will recount all your wonders.

2 I will rejoice and exult in you,

I will sing praise to your name, Most High!

3 When my enemies turn back,

they stumble and perish from your face.

4 For you have done my justice and my claim;

you have sat on your throne, a judge of righteousness!

5 You rebuked nations; you destroyed the wicked;

you blotted out their name forever and ever.

6 The enemy are finished—desolation forever,

and you pulled up cities.

As for them, their remembrance perished,

7 but Yahweh will sit forever.

He has established his throne for justice,

8 as for him, he will judge the world with righteousness,

and he will adjudicate for the peoples with fairness.

9 And may Yahweh be a secure height for the oppressed,

a secure height for times with distress.

10 And may the knowers of your name trust in you,

because you have not abandoned the seekers of you, Yahweh.

11 Sing praises to Yahweh, the sitter, in Zion!

Declare his deeds among the peoples

12 for the seeker of, vengeance for bloodshed remembered them;

he does not forget the cry of the poor.

13 Have mercy on me, Yahweh! See my affliction from my haters,

O lifter of me from the gates of death,

14 in order that I might recount all your praise

in the gates of the daughter of Zion.

I will rejoice in your salvation!

15 The nations have sunk down into the pit they made;

their foot is caught in the net that they hid.

16 Yahweh has revealed himself, he has done justice;

the wicked is ensnared by the work of his hands. Higgaion Selah

17 The wicked will turn back to Sheol;

all nations are forgetful of God.

18 But the needy will not be forgotten eternally,

nor will the hope of the afflicted perish forever.

19 Arise, Yahweh! Let not humanity prevail!

On your face let nations be judged.

20 Put terror to them, Yahweh!

May nations know they are human. Selah

10 Why, Yahweh, do you stand far-off?

Why do you hide in times of trouble?

2 In arrogance, the wicked hotly pursue the afflicted;

may they be caught by the schemes that they have planned.

3 Indeed, the wicked boasts about the desires of his soul

and he blesses the robber; he despises Yahweh.

4 According to the haughtiness of his nose the wicked seeks not;

All his thoughts, are, “There is no God.”

5 His ways endure at every time;

your judgments are high from in front of him;

as for all his enemies, he snorts at them.

6 He says in his heart, “I will not be shaken;

to generation and generation, it is I who, will not, be in distress.”

7 His mouth is full of curses and lies and oppression;

under his tongue are mischief and evil.

8 He sits in ambush near the villages; in the secret places he murders the innocent;

his eyes stealthily watch for a helpless person.

9 He ambushes in a secret place like a lion in cover;

he ambushes to seize the afflicted.

He seizes the afflicted by pulling in his net.

10 He stoops, crouches,

and unfortunate people fall by his power.

11 He says in his heart, “God has forgotten;

he has hidden his face; to perpetuity he sees not.”

12 Arise, Yahweh! God, lift up your hand!

Do not forget the afflicted ones.

13 Why does the wicked despise God?

He says in his heart, “You will not seek.”

14 You have seen! Indeed, you notice mischief and vexation to take, it in your hand.

The helpless person entrusts, himself to you;

as for the orphan you, even you, are, his helper.

15 Break the arm of the wicked and the evil.

May it seek his wickedness, but not find, it.

16 Yahweh is king forever and ever;

the nations have perished from his land.

17 The desire of afflicted ones, you have heard, Yahweh;

you strengthen their heart, you cause your ear to attend:

18 to judge the orphan and oppressed;

that mankind, who is from the earth will never again terrify.

To the chief musician; of David.

In Yahweh I take refuge.

How can you say to my soul,

“Flutter, like a bird to your mountain.

2 For behold, the wicked, they bend a bow;

they have set their arrow on the string

to shoot in the darkness at the upright of heart.

3 If the foundations are destroyed,

what can the righteous do”?

4 Yahweh, is in his holy temple;

Yahweh, is in the heavens, his throne.

His eyes see, his eyelids test the sons of man.

5 Yahweh tests the righteous and the wicked,

and the one loving violence his soul hates.

6 May he rain snares upon the wicked;

fire and brimstone and a scorching wind the portion of their cup!

7 For Yahweh is righteous, he loves righteousness;

the upright will see his face.

12 For the chief musician; psalm David.

1 Help, Yahweh, for the faithful have come to an end;

for the faithful have vanished from, among the sons of man.

2 Man, they speak falsehood with his neighbor;

they speak, with lip of smoothness,

with a heart and a heart.

3 May Yahweh cut off all lips of smoothness,

the tongue speaking great things,

4 which say, “With our tongue we will make strong.

Our lips, are with us, who, is master over us?”

5 “Because of oppression of the poor, because of, the groaning of the needy,

Now I will arise,” says Yahweh.

“I will place in, the safety he pants for it.”

6 The words of Yahweh, are pure words,

silver refined in a furnace on the ground,

purified seven.

7 You Yahweh, you will keep them.

You will protect him from this generation for eternity.

8 The wicked walk about on every side

when vileness is high among the sons of man.

13 To the chief musician; psalm David.

1 How long, Yahweh? Will you forget me forever?

How long will you hide your face from me?

2 How long must I take counsel in my soul,

sorrow in my heart by day?

How long will the one being hostile to me be high over me?

3 Consider, and answer me, Yahweh my God;

give light to my eyes, lest I sleep the, sleep of death,

4 Lest the one being hostile to me say, “I have prevailed over him,”

and my adversaries rejoice when I am shaken.

5 But I have trusted in your covenant faithfulness;

let my heart rejoice in your salvation.

6 I will sing to Yahweh,

because he has dealt bountifully with me.

For the chief musician; of David

The fool says in his heart, “No God.”

They are corrupt, they do a deed abominably.

There is none doing good.

2 Yahweh looks down from the heavens on the sons of man

to see whether there is one understanding, one seeking God.

3 The whole has turned aside. Together they have corrupted themselves.

There is none doing good, not even one.

4 Do they not know, all of the doers of iniquity,

the ones eating my people, as they eat bread?

They do not call, upon Yahweh. 5 There they feared a fear,

for God, is with the generation of the righteous.

6 You shame the counsel of the afflicted,

but Yahweh, is his refuge.

7 Who will give the salvation of Israel from Zion?

When Yahweh restores the prosperity of his people,

Jacob will be glad, Israel will rejoice.

A psalm of David

Yahweh, who may sojourn in your tent?

Who may dwell on your holy mountain?

2 The one walking blamelessly,

and doing righteousness

and speaking truth in his heart.

3 He does not slander with his tongue,

he does not do evil to his neighbor,

and an insult he does not raise up against one close to him.

4 In whose eyes one being rejected is despised,

but those who fear Yahweh he honors.

He swears to his own hurt, and does not change.

5 He does not put out his money at interest,

and a bribe against the innocent he does not take.

The one doing these, things will not be shaken for eternity.

A miktam of David.

Protect me, God, for I take refuge in you.

2 You said to Yahweh, “You are my Lord; my good is not beyond you.”

3 As for the holy, ones who are on the earth, they are the majestic, ones; all my delight is in them.

4 Their sorrows will be multiplied, they, who hasten, after another, god. I will not pour out their drink offerings from blood,

and I will not take up their names on my lips.

5 Yahweh, the portion of my inheritance and my cup. You are holding my lot.

6 The measuring cords have fallen for me in pleasant, places; indeed, the inheritance is beautiful for me.

7 I will bless Yahweh, who has given me counsel; even, in the night my kidneys instruct me.

8 I have set Yahweh continually before me, because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices. Also, my flesh will dwell in security.

10 For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol. You will not hand over your faithful one to see the pit.

11 You make known to me the path of life; abundance of joys are before your face; in your right hand are delights forever!

A prayer of David

Listen, Yahweh, to righteousness. Pay attention to my cry!

Give ear to my prayer from lips without deceit.

2 Let my vindication come from your face; let your eyes see rightly!

3 You have examined my heart, you have visited, me in the night,

you have tested me, and have detected nothing. I have purposed that my mouth will not transgress.

4 With regard to the actions of man, by the word of your lips I have kept myself away from the paths of the violent.

5 My steps hold firmly to your tracks; my footsteps have not slipped.

6 I have called upon you, for you will answer me, God; Incline your ear to me; listen to my speech.

7 Set apart your covenant faithfulness, you, the one saving by your right hand the ones seeking refuge, in you from those rising up!

8 Keep me as the pupil of your eye; hide me under the shadow of your wings,

9 from the faces of the wicked who deal violently with me, the ones being hostile against my soul, they surround me.

10 Their fat they have closed up; with their mouths they speak with pride.

11 They have surrounded me now, in our steps. Their eyes they have set, crouching down to the earth.

12 His likeness is as a lion, he longs to tear; and as a young lion he is dwelling in hiding places.

13 Arise, Yahweh, confront his face, make him bow down! Rescue my soul from the wicked, with your sword!

14 From men, with your hand Yahweh, from men from, the world, their portion in life,

and with your treasure you fill their belly. They are satisfied with sons, and they leave their abundance to their children.

15 I, in righteousness, will see your face; when I awake, I will be satisfied, with your manifestation.

18 To the chief musician. David, the servant of Yahweh words of the day the palm of enemies from the hand of

1 And he said, “I love you, Yahweh, my strength.

2 Yahweh is my rock and my stronghold and my deliverer; my God, my rock; I take refuge in him,

my shield and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.

3 To the one being praised I call, to Yahweh, and I am saved from my enemies.

4 The cords of death encompassed me, and the torrents of wickedness terrified me.

5 The cords of Sheol surrounded me; the snares of death confronted me.

6 In my distress, I called, to Yahweh, and to my God I cried out for help. He heard my voice from his temple,

and my cry to his face went in his ears.

7 Then the earth shook and trembled, and the foundations of the mountains quaked

and shook themselves because it burned to him.

8 Smoke went up from his nose, and fire from his mouth devoured. Coals from him burned.

9 And he lowered the heavens, and he came down, and a dark cloud was under his feet.

10 And he rode on a cherub, and he flew, and he flew swiftly on the wings of the wind.

11 He set darkness his covering, the booth around him, was a darkness of waters, clouds of the skies.

12 From the brightness before him, hailstones and coals of fire broke through his thick clouds.

13 And Yahweh thundered in the heavens and the Most High uttered his voice, hailstones and coals of fire. [fn]

14 And he sent out his arrows and he scattered them and lightnings in abundance and he panicked them.

15 And the channels of the sea were seen,

and the foundations of the world were uncovered,

from your rebuke, Yahweh,

from the blast of the breath of your nose.

16 He stretched out from the height, he took hold of me. He drew me out of many waters.

17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, from the ones hating me, for they were stronger than me.

18 They confronted me on the day of my calamity, but Yahweh was my support!

19 And he brought me out to an open space; he delivered me because he delighted in me.

20 Yahweh has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands he has given back to me.

21 For I have kept the ways of Yahweh, and I have not been wicked from my God.

22 For all of his judgments, are before me, and his statutes, I have not turned away from them.

23 And I have been blameless with him, and I have kept myself from my iniquity.

24 And Yahweh has given back to me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands before his eyes.

25 With the faithful you show yourself faithful;

with a blameless man, you show yourself blameless.

26 With the purified, you show yourself pure, but with the crooked, you show yourself cunning.

27 For you save a lowly people, but the eyes, of the ones being high, you bring them down.

28 For you light my lamp; Yahweh my God lightens my darkness.

29 For by you I run, after a troop, and by my God I leap, over a wall.

30 This God, his way, is perfect. The word of Yahweh is refined.

He, is a shield to all of the ones taking refuge in him.

31 For who is God except Yahweh? And who is a rock except our God?

32 This God is the one girding me, with valor, and he makes my way perfect,

33 making my feet like a deer, and he makes me stand on my high places,

34 training my hands for war, and my arms bend a bow of bronze.

35 And you give to me the shield of your salvation, and your right hand supports me, and your humility makes me great.

36 You enlarge my step under me, and my feet do not slip.

37 I pursue my enemies, and I destroy them, and I do not return until I have ended them.

38 I severely wounded them so that they were not able to rise; they fell under my feet.

39 And you gird me, with valor for war; you make the ones rising up under me bow down.

40 And my enemies, you give to me the back of, their neck; the ones hating me, I destroyed them.

41 They called out for help, but there was none saving; to Yahweh, but he did not answer them.

42 And I beat them fine as dust upon the face of the wind; like the mud of the streets I cast them out.

43 You rescue me from the disputes of people. You made me as the head of nations. People I did not know serve me.

44 At the hearing of an ear, they hear me; sons of the foreigner cringe to me.

45 Sons of the foreigner fade away, and they come trembling from their fortresses.

46 Yahweh is alive! And blessed be my rock, and may the God of my salvation be exalted,

47 the God giving vengeance to me, and he subdues peoples under me,

48 the one delivering me from my enemies. Also, from the ones arising, against me you lift me up, from a man of violence, you deliver me.

49 Therefore, I thank you among the nations, Yahweh; and I will sing praise to your name,

50 the one magnifying the salvation of his king and doing covenant faithfulness to his anointed, to David, and to his seed until forever.”

19 To the chief musician; psalm David

1 The heavens are declaring the glory of God,

and the sky is proclaiming the work of his hands.

2 Day to day makes flow forth a word,

and night to night declares knowledge.

3 There is no speech and, there are no words, their voice is not being heard.

4 Their line has gone out through all of the earth,

and their words to the end of the world.

He has set in them a tent for the sun,

5 and that is like a bridegroom coming out from his chamber,

it rejoices like a strong man to run its path.

6 From the end of the heavens is its going forth,

and its circuit to the ends of them,

and there is nothing hidden from its heat.

7 The law of Yahweh is perfect, restoring the soul;

the testimony of Yahweh is sure, making wise the simple.

8 The precepts of Yahweh are right, making the heart rejoice;

the commandment of Yahweh is pure, enlightening the eyes.

9 The fear of Yahweh is clean, enduring forever;

the judgments of Yahweh are true, they are altogether righteous.

10 They are to be desired more than gold, and more than much fine gold,

and they are more sweet than honey and nectar of honeycombs.

11 Also, by them your servant is warned;

in keeping them there is great reward.

12 Who can discern, his errors?

Acquit me from hidden, faults.

13 Also, keep back your servant from presumptuous ones;

let them not rule over me.

Then I will be blameless,

and I will be innocent from great transgression.

14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart

be acceptable to your face,

Yahweh, my strength and the one redeeming me.

20 To the chief musician; psalm David

1 May Yahweh answer you in the day of trouble;

may the name of the God of Jacob set you on high.

2 May he send you help from the sanctuary

and support you from Zion.

3 May he remember all of your grain offerings

and regard as fat your burnt offering. Selah

4 May he grant you according to your heart,

and may he fulfill all of your plans.

5 We will shout for joy over your salvation,

and in the name of our God we will set up, our banners.

May Yahweh fulfill all of your petitions.

6 Now I know that Yahweh saves his anointed;

he will answer him from his holy heaven

with mighty deeds of salvation of his right hand.

7 These in chariots and these in horses,

but we will remember the name of Yahweh our God.

8 They bow down and fall,

but we rise and stand upright!

9 Save, Yahweh;

may the king answer us on the day we call.

21 To the chief musician; psalm David.

1 Yahweh, in your strength the king rejoices,

and in your salvation how greatly he exults!

2 You have given to him the desire of his heart,

and the request of his lips you have not withheld. Selah

3 For you meet him with blessings of good;

you place on his head a crown of refined gold.

4 He asked life from you; you gave, it to him,

length of days, forever and ever.

5 His glory is great through your salvation;

splendor and majesty you place on him.

6 For you place on him eternal blessings;

you make him glad with joy with your face.

7 For the king is trusting in Yahweh,

and through the covenant faithfulness of the Most High, he will not be shaken.

8 Your hand will find all of your enemies;

your right hand will find the ones hating you.

9 You will make them as an oven of fire at the time of your face.

In his nose Yahweh will swallow them

and will consume them, with fire.

10 You will destroy their fruit from the earth

and their seed from, among the sons of man.

11 Though they stretch out evil against you,

they plan a plot they will not be able.

12 For you will make them shoulder;

on your strings you will set, your arrows toward their faces.

13 Be exalted, Yahweh, in your strength;

we will sing and we will praise your power.

22 For the chief musician; Doe of Dawn.” psalm David.

1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?

Why are you far from the salvation of me, far from the words of my groaning?

2 My God, I call by day, but you do not answer,

and, in the night, and there is no silence for me.

3 Yet you are holy,

sitting, in the praises of Israel.

4 In you our fathers trusted;

they trusted, and you delivered them.

5 To you they cried and they were rescued.

In you they trusted and they were not ashamed.

6 But I am a worm and not a man,

a reproach of mankind and despised by the people.

7 All of the ones seeing me mock me;

they open wide with the lip. They shake the head,

8 “Roll to Yahweh;

let him deliver him.

Let him rescue him, since he delights in him.”

9 Yet you are the one pulling me out from the womb,

making me trust upon the breasts of my mother.

10 Upon you I was cast from the womb;

from the womb of my mother, you, have been my God.

11 You, do not be far away from me, for trouble is near,

for, there is no one helping, me.

12 Many bulls surround me;

strong ones of Bashan encircle me.

13 They open their mouths against me,

a tearing and roaring lion.

14 I am poured out like water,

and all of my bones are dislocated.

My heart is like wax;

it has melted within my inner parts.

15 My strength is dried up like a shard,

and my tongue is being made to cling to my gums,

and to the dust of death you lay me.

16 For dogs have surrounded me;

a company of ones doing evil have encircled me,

like the lion, my hands and my feet.

17 I can count all of my bones.

They look, and they stare at me.

18 They divide my garments among them,

and they cast lots for my clothing.

19 But you, Yahweh, do not be far away.

My strength, hurry to help me.

20 Deliver my life from the sword,

my only one from the hand of the dog.

21 Save me from the mouth of the lion,

and from the horns of wild oxen, answer me.

22 I will declare your name to my brothers;

in the midst of the assembly I will praise you.

23 You who fear Yahweh, praise him!

All of the seed of Jacob, honor him,

and be terrified from him, all of the seed of Israel!

24 For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted,

and he has not hidden his face from him,

but when he cried to him, he heard.

25 From with you my praise in the great assembly;

I will fulfill my vows before those who fear him.

26 The poor will eat and be satisfied.

The ones seeking Yahweh will praise.

May your heart live forever.

27 All of the ends of the earth will remember and turn to Yahweh,

and all of the families of the nations will bow down to your face.

28 For to Yahweh the kingdom,

and he is ruling over the nations.

29 All of the fat of the earth will eat and will bow down;

to his face will kneel all of the ones going down to the dust,

even his self he kept not alive.

30 Seed will serve him;

it will be told of the Lord to the generation.

31 They will come and will declare his righteousness to a people who will be born,

that he has done, it!

23 

A psalm of David

Yahweh is my shepherd; I will lack nothing.

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures;

he leads me to waters of rest.

3 He restores my soul.

He leads me in right paths for the sake of his name.

4 Even though I walk through, the valley of deep darkness,

I will fear no evil, for you are with me;

your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

5 You arrange a table before my face in front of my enemies;

you have anointed my head with oil;

my cup overflows.

6 Surely goodness and covenant faithfulness will pursue me all the days of my life,

and I will dwell in the house of Yahweh for length of days!

24 

A psalm of David

To Yahweh, is the earth and its fullness,

the world and the ones dwelling in it.

2 For he has founded it upon the seas

and established it upon the rivers.

3 Who may ascend on the mountain of Yahweh?

And who may stand in his holy place?

4 The one clean of hands and pure of heart,

who has not lifted up his soul to what is false,

and has not sworn deceitfully.

5 He will take up a blessing from Yahweh

and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

6 This, is the generation of the ones seeking him,

the ones seeking your face, Jacob. Selah

7 Lift up your heads, you gates,

and be lifted up, you ancient doors,

so that the King of Glory may come in.

8 Who, is this King of Glory?

Yahweh, strong and mighty; Yahweh, mighty in battle.

9 Lift up your heads, you gates,

and lift up, you ancient doors,

so that the King of Glory may come in.

10 Who, is he, this King of Glory?

Yahweh of Armies,

he, is the King of Glory. Selah

Of David

To you, Yahweh, I lift up my soul.

2 My God, in you I trust;

do not let me have shame;

do not let my enemies exult over me.

3 Indeed, all the ones waiting on you will not have shame;

the ones acting treacherously without cause will have shame.

4 Make me know your ways, Yahweh;

teach me your paths.

5 Lead me in your truth and teach me,

for you are the God of my salvation;

on you I wait all the day.

6 Remember your compassion, Yahweh, and your covenant faithfulness,

for they are from ancient times.

7 Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions;

according to your covenant faithfulness remember me,

for the sake of your goodness, Yahweh!

8 Good and upright is Yahweh,

therefore he teaches the sinful in the way.

9 He leads the humble in justice,

and he teaches the humble his way.

10 All the paths of Yahweh are covenant love and faithfulness

for the ones keeping his covenant and his testimonies.

11 For the sake of your name, Yahweh,

forgive my iniquity, for it is great.

12 Who is the man fearing Yahweh?

He will teach him in the way he is to choose.

13 His soul will remain in good,

and his seed will inherit the earth.

14 The secret of Yahweh is for the ones fearing him

and his covenant, to cause them to know it.

15 My eyes are continually toward Yahweh,

for he will make my feet go out of the net.

16 Turn toward me and be gracious to me,

for I am alone and afflicted.

17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged;

bring me out of my distresses.

18 See my affliction and my trouble,

and forgive all of my sins.

19 See my enemies, for they are many,

and with hatred of violence they hate me.

20 Guard my life and deliver me;

do not let me have shame, for I take refuge in you!

21 May integrity and uprightness preserve me,

for I wait for you.

22 God, redeem Israel

from all of his troubles!

Of David

Vindicate me, Yahweh, for I have walked in my integrity,

and in Yahweh I have trusted without wavering.

2 Examine me, Yahweh, and test me;

try my kidneys and my heart.

3 For your covenant faithfulness is before my eyes,

and I walk about in your truth.

4 I do not sit with men of falsehood,

and I will not go with the ones concealing themselves.

5 I hate the assembly of the ones doing evil,

and I will not sit with the wicked.

6 I wash my hands in innocence,

so I will go around your altar, Yahweh,

7 to cause to be heard the sound of thanksgiving

and recount all of your wonderful acts.

8 Yahweh, I love the habitation of your house,

and the place of the dwelling place of your glory.

9 Do not gather my soul with the sinful,

nor my life with men of blood,

10 who, have in their hands an evil scheme

and their right hand is full of bribes.

11 But I will walk in my integrity;

redeem me and be gracious to me.

12 My foot stands on level ground;

among the assemblies will I bless Yahweh!

27 

Of David

Yahweh is my light and my salvation;

whom will I fear?

Yahweh is the refuge of my life;

whom will I dread?

2 When the ones doing evil advance against me to devour my flesh,

my enemies and the ones being hostile to me, they stumbled and fell.

3 Though an army encamps against me,

my heart will not fear;

though war arises against me,

in this I will be confident.

4 One, thing I have asked from Yahweh, that I will seek:

that I may dwell in the house of Yahweh all the days of my life,

to look upon the beauty of Yahweh

and to inquire in his temple.

5 For in the day of trouble he will hide me in his hut;

he will hide me in the hiding-place of his tent.

He will lift me high upon a rock.

6 And now my head will be lifted up above the ones being hostile to me, who are all around me,

and I will sacrifice in his tent sacrifices of a shout of joy.

I will sing and make music to Yahweh!

7 Hear, Yahweh, my voice, when I cry out,

and be gracious to me, and answer me.

8 “Seek my face.” My heart said to you,

“Your face, Yahweh, I will seek.”

9 Do not hide your face from me;

do not turn your servant away in anger.

You have been my help.

Do not abandon me nor leave me, God of my salvation.

10 For my father and my mother have left me,

but Yahweh will care for me.

11 Teach me your way, Yahweh,

and lead me on a level path

because of my enemies.

12 Do not give me up to the desire of my adversaries,

for false witnesses have risen against me,

and a witness of violence.

13 Unless I had believed that I would look on the goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living.

14 Wait on Yahweh.

Be strong, and let your heart be courageous,

and wait on Yahweh.

28 

Of David

To you, Yahweh, I cry; my rock, do not be deaf to me,

lest you be deaf to me, and I be equal with those going down to the pit.

2 Hear the voice of my pleas when I cry to you for help,

when I lift up my hands toward your inner sanctuary of holiness.

3 Do not drag me away with the wicked and with the workers of iniquity,

the ones speaking of peace with their neighbors while evil is in their hearts.

4 Give to them according to their work and according to the evil of their deeds;

give to them according to the work of their hands; return to them their recompense.

5 Because they do not give heed to the works of Yahweh or the action of his hands,

he will tear them down and not build them up.

6 Blessed be Yahweh,

because he has heard the voice of my pleas.

7 Yahweh is my strength and my shield;

in him my heart trusts, and I am helped;

therefore my heart exults,

and with my song I will praise him.

8 Yahweh is strength for his people,

and he is a refuge of help, for his anointed.

9 Save your people and bless your inheritance,

and shepherd them and carry them unto the eternity.

29 

A psalm of David

Ascribe to Yahweh, sons of God,

ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength.

2 Ascribe to Yahweh the glory of his name;

bow down to Yahweh in the adornment of holiness.

3 The voice of Yahweh over the waters,

the God of glory thunders,

Yahweh over many waters.

4 The voice of Yahweh is with power;

the voice of Yahweh is with majesty.

5 The voice of Yahweh is breaking cedars,

and Yahweh breaks the cedars of Lebanon.

6 And he makes Lebanon skip like a calf

and Sirion like a son of wild oxen.

7 The voice of Yahweh is hewing out with flames of fire.

8 The voice of Yahweh shakes the wilderness;

Yahweh shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

9 The voice of Yahweh causes the deer to give birth

and strips the forests bare,

and in his temple everyone is saying, “Glory!”

10 Yahweh sits over the flood;

Yahweh sits as king forever.

11 Yahweh will give strength to his people;

Yahweh will bless his people with peace.

30 A psalm song the dedication of house; David.

1 I will extol you, Yahweh,

for you have drawn me up

and have not let the ones being hostile

to me rejoice over me.

2 Yahweh my God,

I cried out to you for help,

and you healed me.

3 Yahweh, you have brought up my soul from Sheol;

you have kept me alive from the ones

going down to the pit.

4 Sing praise to Yahweh, you his faithful ones,

and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

5 For his anger is, for a moment,

but his favor is, for a lifetime.

In the evening weeping may come to lodge

but rejoicing, comes in the morning.

6 And I, in my ease, said,

“I will never be shaken.”

7 Yahweh, by your favor

you have made my mountain stand strong;

you hid your face, and I was dismayed.

8 To you, Yahweh, I cried out,

and to the Lord I pled for favor.

9 “What profit, is there in my blood,

in my descent to the pit?

Will the dust praise you?

Will it declare your faithfulness?

10 Hear, Yahweh, and be gracious to me.

Yahweh, be my helper.”

11 You have turned for me my mourning to dancing;

you have loosed my sackcloth

and have clothed me with gladness

12 in order that, my glory may sing praise to you and not be silent.

Yahweh my God, I will give thanks to you forever.

31 To the chief musician; psalm David.

1 In you, Yahweh, I take refuge;

do not ever let me have shame;

in your righteousness deliver me.

2 Incline your ear to me; rescue me quickly;

be for me a rocky summit of refuge,

a dwelling place of strongholds to save me.

3 Indeed, you are my rock and my stronghold;

therefore for the sake of your name you lead me and guide me.

4 You will pull me out of the net which they have secretly laid for me,

for you are my refuge.

5 Into your hand I commit my spirit;

you have redeemed me, Yahweh, God of faithfulness.

6 I hate the ones keeping idols of worthlessness,

but I trust in Yahweh.

7 I will be glad and rejoice in your covenant faithfulness,

for you have seen my affliction;

you have known the troubles of my soul,

8 and you have not delivered me into the hand of the ones being hostile to me;

you have set my feet in an open space.

9 Be gracious to me, Yahweh, for I am in distress;

my eye has wasted away from grief, my soul and my body.

10 For my life has come to an end with sorrow,

and my years with groaning;

my strength fails from my iniquity,

and my bones waste away.

11 Among all of the ones being hostile to me I have become a reproach,

and especially to my neighbors,

and dread to the ones knowing me;

the ones seeing me outside flee from me.

12 I have been forgotten like a dead man out of mind;

I am like a broken vessel.

13 For I hear the whispering of many—

terror on every side!—

while they conspire together against me;

they plan to take my life.

14 But I trust in you, Yahweh;

I say, “You are my God.”

15 My times are in your hand;

rescue me from the hand of the ones being hostile to me and from the ones pursuing me.

16 Make your face shine upon your servant;

save me in your covenant faithfulness.

17 Yahweh, do not let me have shame, for I have called upon you;

let the wicked have shame; let them be silent in Sheol.

18 Let lying lips be silenced,

the ones speaking insolent things against the righteous,

in pride and contempt.

19 How great is your goodness

which you have stored up for the ones fearing you,

which you have done for the ones taking refuge in you,

before the sons of man!

20 You hide them in the hiding-place of your presence from the plots of man;

you hide them in a shelter from the strife of tongues.

21 Blessed be Yahweh,

for he has shown marvelously his covenant faithfulness to me in a besieged city.

22 For I said in my alarm,

“I am cut off from your eyes.”

But indeed you heard the voice of my pleas when I cried out to you.

23 Love Yahweh, all, you faithful ones!

Yahweh preserves the faithful,

but he pays back fully the proud person.

24 Be firm and let your heart be courageous,

all the ones waiting for Yahweh.

32 

A maskil of David

The happinesses of the one whose transgression is lifted up,

the one covered from sin!

2 The happinesses of the man to whom Yahweh reckons no guilt,

and in whose spirit, there is no deceit!

3 When I kept silent, my bones wasted away

through my screaming all of the day.

4 For by day and night your hand was heavy upon me.

My vitality was changed, as by the heat of summer. Selah

5 My sin I acknowledged to you,

and my guilt I did not cover.

I said, “I will confess my transgressions to Yahweh,”

and you lifted up the guilt of my sin. Selah

6 For this, reason let everyone who is faithful pray to you at a time of finding;

surely in a flood of great waters, they will not reach to him.

7 You are a hiding place for me;

you preserve me from distress;

you will surround me, with shouts of deliverance. Selah

8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you are to go.

I will counsel you, with my eye upon you.

9 Do not be like a horse, or like a mule, which are without understanding;

ornament of him to curb with bit and bridle,

or else they will not come near to you.

10 Many, are the pains of the wicked,

but the one trusting in Yahweh, covenant faithfulness surrounds him.

11 Be glad in Yahweh and rejoice, righteous,

and shout for joy, all, you upright of heart.

33 Shout for joy in Yahweh, righteous, ones;

praise, is fitting for the upright.

2 Give thanks to Yahweh with the harp;

with a lyre of ten strings, make music to him.

3 Sing to him a new song;

be skillful to play with a shout!

4 For the word of Yahweh, is upright,

and all of his work, is in faithfulness.

5 Loving righteousness and justice,

the covenant faithfulness of Yahweh fills the earth.

6 By the word of Yahweh, the heavens were made,

and by the breath of his mouth, all of their host.

7 Gathering the waters of the sea like a heap;

putting the deeps into storehouses,

8 let all of the earth fear Yahweh;

let all of the dwellers of the world be in dread of him.

9 For he, he spoke, and it came to be;

he, he commanded, and it stood.

10 Yahweh frustrates the counsel of nations;

he thwarts the plans of peoples.

11 The counsel of Yahweh stands forever,

the plans of his heart, to generation and generation.

12 The happiness of the nation which Yahweh, is its God,

the people he chose for an inheritance for himself.

13 From the heavens, Yahweh looks down;

he sees all of the sons of man.

14 From the place of his dwelling he gazes

at all of the dwellers of the earth,

15 the one forming their hearts together,

the one understanding all of their works.

16 The king is not saved by a great army;

a warrior is not delivered by great strength.

17 The horse, is a falsehood for salvation,

and by its great strength, it does not deliver.

18 Behold, the eye of Yahweh, is toward the fearers of him,

toward those hoping for his covenant faithfulness,

19 to deliver their soul from death

and to keep them alive in the famine.

20 Our soul waits for Yahweh;

he, is our help and our shield.

21 For in him our heart rejoices;

for in the name of his holiness we trust.

22 Let your covenant faithfulness, Yahweh, be upon us,

just as we have hoped in you.

34 Of David; he changed behavior the face of he sent him away he left.

1 I shall bless Yahweh at all times;

continually his praise, is in my mouth.

2 In Yahweh my soul will boast;

the humble will hear and rejoice.

3 Magnify Yahweh with me,

and let us exalt his name together.

4 I sought Yahweh, and he answered me,

and from all of my fears he delivered me.

5 They look to him and are radiant;

let their faces not have shame.

6 This afflicted, one called, and Yahweh heard,

and from all of his troubles he saved him.

7 The angel of Yahweh is encamping around the fearers of him,

and he rescues them.

8 Taste and see that Yahweh, is good;

the happinesses of the man—he takes refuge in him!

9 Fear Yahweh, his holy, ones,

for there is no lack for the fearers of him.

10 Young lions are poor and hungry,

but the seekers of Yahweh will not lack any good, thing.

11 Come, sons, listen to me;

the fear of Yahweh I will teach you.

12 Who, is the man, the, one desiring life,

loving days to see good?

13 Guard your tongue from evil,

and your lips from speaking deceit.

14 Turn away from evil and do good;

seek peace and pursue it.

15 The eyes of Yahweh, are toward the righteous,

and his ears, are toward their cry.

16 The face of Yahweh, is against the doers of evil,

to cut off their remembrance from the earth.

17 They cry out, and Yahweh hears,

and from all of their troubles he delivers them.

18 Yahweh, is near to the broken of heart,

and the crushed of spirit he saves.

19 Many, are the evils of the righteous,

but Yahweh delivers him from all of them.

20 He is guarding all of his bones;

not one of them is broken.

21 Evil will put to death the wicked,

and the haters of the righteous will be guilty.

22 Yahweh is redeeming the soul of his servants,

and everyone taking refuge in him will not be guilty.

Of David

Yahweh, oppose my opponents;

fight those fighting me.

2 Grab the small shield and large shield;

rise up as my helper!

3 Draw out spear and javelin to meet those chasing me;

say to my soul, “I, am your salvation.”

4 May those who seek my life have shame and be dishonored.

May those who plan my harm be turned back and confounded.

5 May they be as chaff before the wind,

and the angel of Yahweh driving, them away.

6 May their way be dark and slippery places,

and the angel of Yahweh chasing them.

7 For without cause they hid for me a pit, their net;

without cause they dug for my life.

8 Let destruction overtake him; he does not know.

Let the net that he hid catch him.

In destruction, let him fall into it.

9 But my soul will be joyful in Yahweh;

it will rejoice in his salvation.

10 All my bones will say, “Yahweh, who is like you,

rescuing the oppressed from those stronger than them

and the oppressed and needy from those robbing them?”

Witnesses of violence rise up;

what I do not know they ask me.

12 They repay me evil in place of good—

bereavement to my soul.

13 But I, when they were sick, my clothing, was sackcloth;

I afflicted my soul with fasting,

and my prayer returned upon my bosom.

14 As, for a friend, as, for a brother to me, I walked about;

as, one lamenting, for a mother, mourning, I bowed down.

15 But at my stumbling they rejoiced and gathered together;

they gathered together against me, the stricken, ones, and I did not know.

They tore and did not cease.

16 Among godless mockers of food,

they gnashed their teeth at me.

17 Lord, how long will you look on?

Restore my soul from their destructions,

my only, one from the young lions!

18 I will thank you in the great assembly;

I will praise you among many people.

19 Do not let my deceitful enemies rejoice over me;

let, not the haters of me without cause wink the eye.

20 For they do not speak peace,

and against the quiet, ones of the earth

they devise words of deceits.

21 They open their mouth wide against me;

they say, “Aha, Aha, our eyes have seen.”

22 You have seen, Yahweh; do not be silent;

Lord, do not be far from me.

23 Awake and arouse yourself for my justice,

my God and my Lord, for my cause.

24 Judge me according to your righteousness, Yahweh my God,

and do not let them rejoice over me.

25 Do not let them say in their heart, “Aha, our soul!”

Do not let them say, “We have swallowed him up.”

26 Let them be ashamed and confounded together,

those rejoicing at my evil.

Let them be clothed with shame and humiliation,

the ones magnifying, themselves against me.

27 Let them shout for joy and be glad,

those delighting in my righteousness,

and let them say continually, “Let Yahweh be great,

the, one delighting in the peace of his servant.”

28 And my tongue will meditate on your righteousness,

all the day, your praise.

36 For the chief musician; the servant Yahweh; David.

1 The declaration of transgression to the wicked, is in the midst of my heart:

there is no dread of God before his eyes.

2 For it is slippery to him in his eyes

to find his iniquity to hate, it.

3 The words of his mouth, are iniquity and deceit;

he has ceased to act wisely, to do good.

4 He devises iniquity on his bed;

he stations himself on the not-good road;

he does not reject evil.

5 Yahweh, your covenant faithfulness, is in the heavens;

your trustworthiness, to the clouds.

6 Your righteousness, is like the mountains of God;

your judgments, are the great deep.

You save man and beast, Yahweh.

7 How precious, is your covenant faithfulness, God!

And the sons of man take refuge in the shadow of your wings.

8 They are refreshed from the fatness of your house,

and, from the river of your delights you give them drink.

9 For with you, is the fountain of life;

in your light we see light.

10 Extend your covenant faithfulness to the knowers of you,

and your righteousness to the upright of heart.

11 Let not the foot of pride come to me,

and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.

12 There the doers of iniquity have fallen;

they are thrust down and are not able to rise.

Of David

Do not be upset about evildoers;

do not be envious of the doers of unrighteousness.

2 For like the grass they will quickly wither,

and like a green plant they will fade.

3 Trust in Yahweh and do good;

inhabit the land and feed faithfulness.

4 And delight yourself in Yahweh,

and he will give to you the desires of your heart.

5 Roll your way upon Yahweh,

and trust in him, and he, he will act

6 and he will bring out your righteousness like the light,

and your justice like the noonday.

7 Be silent to Yahweh and tremble for him.

Do not be angry because of the, one making his way prosper,

because of a man doing schemes.

8 Let go of nose and abandon wrath;

do not be angry; only to cause evil.

9 For evildoers will be cut off,

but the ones waiting for Yahweh, they, they will inherit the land.

10 And yet a little and there are no wicked;

then you will look carefully at his place, but he is not.

11 But the meek will inherit the land

and will delight themselves over an abundance of peace.

12 The wicked is plotting against the righteous

and is gnashing his teeth against him.

13 The Lord laughs at him,

for he sees that his day is coming.

14 The wicked have opened a sword and have trodden their bow

to bring down the poor and the needy,

to slaughter the upright of way.

15 Their sword will come into their heart,

and their bows will be broken.

16 Better is the little of the righteous

than the abundance of many wicked.

17 For the arms of the wicked will be broken,

but Yahweh is supporting the righteous.

18 Yahweh is knowing the days of the blameless,

and their inheritance will be forever.

19 They will not have shame in a time of evil,

and in the days of famine they will have enough.

20 For the wicked will perish,

and the enemies of Yahweh, will be like the precious of pastures;

they vanish, in smoke they vanish.

21 The wicked is borrowing and does not repay,

but the righteous is showing grace and giving.

22 For those blessed by him will inherit the land,

but those cursed by him will be cut off.

23 From Yahweh the steps of a man are established,

and he delights in his way.

24 Though he falls, he will not be hurled down,

for Yahweh is supporting his hand.

25 I was a youth, and I am old,

and I have not seen the righteous abandoned

or his seed seeking bread.

26 All the day he is showing grace and lending,

and his seed, are for a blessing.

27 Turn away from evil and do good,

and dwell forever.

28 For Yahweh is loving justice,

and he will not abandon his faithful.

Forever they are preserved,

but the offspring of the wicked will be cut off.

29 The righteous will inherit the land

and will dwell forever upon it.

30 The mouth of the righteous murmurs wisdom,

and his tongue speaks justice.

31 The law of his God, is in his heart;

his steps will not slip.

32 The wicked is watching the righteous

and is seeking to kill him.

33 Yahweh will not abandon him into his hand,

and will not condemn him when he is judged.

34 Wait for Yahweh and keep his way,

and he will raise you up to inherit the land.

When the wicked are cut off, you will see it.

35 I have seen a wicked, violent, one,

and spreading himself out like a green native tree.

36 And he passed away, and behold, he was not,

and I sought him, and he was not found.

37 Watch the blameless and see the upright,

for, there is a future for the man of peace.

38 But the transgressors are destroyed together;

the future of the wicked is cut off.

39 And the salvation of the righteous, is from Yahweh,

their fortress in the time of distress.

40 And Yahweh helps them and delivers them;

he delivers them from the wicked and saves them,

because they have taken refuge in him.

38 A psalm David; bring to remembrance.

1 Yahweh, do not rebuke me in your anger,

nor discipline me in your wrath.

2 For your arrows have sunk into me,

and your hand has come down on me.

3 There is no soundness in my flesh from the face of your indignation;

there is no peace in my bones from the face of my sin.

4 For my iniquities have passed over my head;

like a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.

5 My wounds stink, they fester

from the face of my foolishness.

6 I am twisted; I am bowed down exceedingly;

all the day I go about mourning.

7 For my loins are full of burning,

and there is no soundness in my flesh.

8 I am numb and crushed exceedingly;

I roar from the groaning of my heart.

9 Lord, all of my desire, is before you,

and my sighing is not hidden from you.

10 My heart pounds; my strength has left me,

and the light of my eyes—even they, are not with me.

11 My loved ones and my friends stand from before my plague,

and my relatives stand from afar.

12 And the seekers of my life lay snares,

and the pursuers of my harm speak destructions

and mutter treacheries all the day.

13 But I, am like a deaf man; I do not hear,

and like a mute man—he does not open his mouth.

14 And I am like a man who is not hearing,

and there are no rebukes in his mouth.

15 Because for you, Yahweh, I have waited;

you, you will answer, Lord my God.

16 For I said, “Lest they rejoice over me;

at the slipping of my foot, they magnify themselves against me.”

17 For I am set up for a stumbling,

and my pain, is before me continually.

18 For I declare my iniquity;

I am anxious because of my sin.

19 But my living enemies are strong,

and my haters of falsehood are many.

20 And the repayers of evil in exchange for good

accuse me in exchange for my pursuing of good.

21 Do not forsake me, Yahweh;

my God, do not be far from me.

22 Hurry to my help,

Lord, my salvation.

39 For the chief musician; Jeduthun. psalm David.

1 I said, “Let me guard my ways

from sinning with my tongue.

Let me guard a muzzle for my mouth

while the wicked, is before me.”

2 I was mute, with silence;

I was silent from good,

and my pain was stirred up.

3 My heart became hot within me;

in my sighing, fire burned.

I spoke with my tongue:

4 “Make me know my end, Yahweh,

and the measure of my days, what it is.

May I know how transient I am.

5 Behold, you have given my days, as handbreadths,

and my lifetime, is as nothing before you.

Surely every man stands, as all vapor. Selah

6 Surely a man walks about as an image;

surely they make an uproar for vapor.

He heaps up and does not know

who will be gathering them.

7 And now, what do I wait for, Lord?

My hope, it, is for you.

8 Deliver me from all my transgressions;

do not make me the reproach of a fool.

9 I am mute; I do not open my mouth,

for you, you have done it.

10 Remove your plague from upon me;

from the blow of your hand, I, I am finished.

11 With rebukes on account of iniquity you discipline a man,

and you dissolve like a moth his desired thing.

Surely all mankind, is vapor. Selah

12 Hear my prayer, Yahweh,

and give ear to my cry for help.

Do not be deaf to my weeping,

for I, am a sojourner with you,

a foreigner like all my fathers.

13 Look away from me that I may be cheerful

before I go and I am no more.”

40 For the chief musician; David; psalm

1 Waiting, I waited for Yahweh,

and he inclined to me

and heard my cry.

2 And he brought me up from the pit of tumult,

from the mud of the mire,

and he set my feet on a rock;

he established my steps.

3 And he put a new song in my mouth,

praise to our God.

Many will see and will fear

and will trust in Yahweh.

4 The happinesses of the man who has made

Yahweh his trust,

and has not turned to the proud

and the goers aside to falsehood!

5 Many, things you have done, you,

Yahweh my God,

your wonderful deeds and your thoughts toward us;

there is none to line up against you.

Should I declare and speak, them,

they are more than to recount.

6 Sacrifice and grain offering you have not desired;

ears you have dug for me.

Burnt offering and sin offering

you have not asked for.

7 Then I said, “Behold, I have come;

in the scroll of the book it is written about me.

8 To do your will, my God, I have delighted,

and your law, is in the midst of my inward parts.”

9 I have proclaimed righteousness in the great assembly;

behold, I will not restrain my lips.

Yahweh, you, you know.

10 I have not concealed your righteousness in the midst of my heart;

I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation.

I have not hidden your covenant faithfulness and your trustworthiness

from the great assembly.

11 You, Yahweh, will not withhold your compassion from me;

your covenant faithfulness and your trustworthiness

will continually preserve me.

12 For evils have surrounded me

until there is no number;

my iniquities have overtaken me,

and I am not able to see.

They are more numerous than the hairs of my head,

and my heart has abandoned me.

13 Be pleased, Yahweh, to rescue me;

Yahweh, hurry to my help.

14 Let them have shame and have disgrace together,

the seekers of my life to sweep it away.

Let them be turned back and be confounded,

those pleased with my harm.

15 Let them be appalled on account of their shame,

the ones saying to me, “Aha! Aha!”

16 Let all the seekers of you

rejoice and be glad in you;

let the lovers of your salvation say continually,

“May Yahweh be great!”

17 And I, am poor and needy;

the Lord thinks of me.

You, are my help and my deliverer;

my God, do not delay.

41 For the chief musician; psalm David

1 The happinesses of the one considering the lowly!

In the day of evil, Yahweh will rescue him.

2 Yahweh will guard him and will keep him alive,

and he will be called happy in the land;

so do not give him into the soul of his enemies.

3 Yahweh will support him on the bed of suffering;

you transformed each bed of his in his sickness.

4 I, I said, “Yahweh, be gracious to me!

Heal my soul, for I have sinned against you.”

5 My enemies say evil concerning me,

“When will he die and his name perish?”

6 And if he comes to see me, he speaks worthlessness;

his heart gathers iniquity to itself.

He goes out to the outside; he speaks.

7 Together against me all my haters whisper;

against me they plan evil to me.

8 “A matter of wickedness is poured on him,

and he who has lain down will not repeat to rise.”

9 Even the man of my peace, whom I trusted in him,

the eater of my bread,

has made great the heel against me.

10 But you, Yahweh, be gracious to me and raise me up,

so that I may repay them.

11 By this I know that you delight in me,

that my enemy does not shout over me.

12 And I, in my integrity you upheld me,

and you set me to your face forever.

13 Blessed, be Yahweh, the God of Israel,

from the everlasting and unto the everlasting.

Amen and amen.

You caused harm to the peoples,

and spread out our palms to a foreign god,

For they shake trouble onto me,

and in nose they persecute me.

4 My heart writhes in the midst of me,

7 For because of you I have borne reproach;

humiliation has covered my face.

and they talk about the pain of your wounded.

and let them not be written with the righteous.

15 My mouth will recount your righteousness,

all of the day, your salvation,

for I do not know the numbers.

16 I will come in the forces of Lord Yahweh;

I will remember your righteousness, yours alone.

17 God, you have taught me from my youth,

and to this I declare your wonderful doings.

18 And also until old age and gray hair,

God, do not forsake me,

until I declare your arm to a generation,

your might to everyone, who will come.

19 For your righteousness, God, is to height,

you who do great, things;

God, who, is like you?

20 You who have made me see many and evil troubles,

may you return, may you revive me,

and may you return, may you bring me up from the depths of the earth.

21 May you increase my greatness,

and may you turn around, may you comfort me.

22 Also I, I will praise you with the instrument of the lute

for your faithfulness, my God;

Let me make music to you with the harp, Holy, One of Israel.

23 My lips will shout joyfully when I make music to you,

and my soul, which you have redeemed.

24 Also my tongue will meditate, on your righteousness all of the day,

for they will shame, for they will confound the ones seeking my harm.

Of Solomon.

God, give your judgments to the king

and your righteousness to the son of the king.

2 May he judge your people with righteousness

and your poor with justice.

3 May the mountains bring peace to the people,

and the hills, in righteousness.

4 May he judge the poor of the people;

may he save the sons of the needy,

and may he crush the oppressor.

5 May they fear you with the sun

and to the face of the moon, generation of generations.

6 May he come down like rain on mown grass,

like showers, a drenching of the earth.

7 May the righteous flourish in his days,

and abundance of peace until the moon, is not.

8 May he rule from sea to sea

and from the River to the ends of the earth.

9 May desert-dwellers kneel to his face,

and may his enemies lick the dust.

10 May the kings of Tarshish and the coastlands return tribute;

may the kings of Sheba and Seba bring near a gift.

11 And may all kings bow down to him;

may all nations serve him.

12 For may he deliver the needy crying out

and the poor when no helper, is to him.

13 May he have pity on the weak and the needy,

and may he save the lives of the needy.

14 May he redeem their life from oppression and from violence,

and may their blood be precious in his eyes.
