1:1 Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the assembly of the scornful.^1:2 But his delight is in the Torah of YHWH; and in his Law does he meditate day and night.^1:3 And he will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in the proper season; its leaf also will not wither; and whatever he does will prosper.^1:4 The wicked are not so^: but are like the chaff that the wind drives away.^1:5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.^1:6 For YHWH knows the way of the righteous^: but the way of the wicked will perish.

2:1 Why do the nations conspire, and the people devise emptiness?^2:2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together against YHWH, and against his anointed saying,^2:3 let us break their bands apart and cast away their cords from us.^2:4 He that sits in the cosmos will laugh^: Adonai will have them in derision.^2:5 Then will he speak to them in his fury, and trouble them in his burning anger.^2:6 Still I have set my King upon my Holy Hill of Zion.^2:7 I will recount the decree^: YHWH has said to me, You are my Son; this day have I engendered you.^2:8 Ask of me and I will give you the nations for your inheritance, and the ends of the land for your possession.^2:9 You will break them with a rod of iron; you will dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.^2:10 Be wise now therefore O kings^: be instructed you judges of the land.^2:11 Serve YHWH with fear, and rejoice with trembling.^2:12 Hug the heir, unless he is angry and you perish from the way, when his anger is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

3:1 YHWH, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.^3:2 Many there are that say of my life, there is no help for him in Elohim. Selah.^3:3 But you O YHWH, are a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.^3:4 I cried to YHWH with my voice, and he heard me out of his Holy Hill. Selah.^3:5 I laid down and slept; I arouse; for YHWH sustained me.^3:6 I will not be afraid of 10,000's of people, that have set themselves against me all around.^3:7 Arise O YHWH; deliver me O my Elohim^: because you have struck all my enemies upon the cheekbone; you have broken the teeth of the wicked.^3:8 Salvation belongs to YHWH^: your blessing is upon your people. Selah.

4:1 Hear me when I call, O Elohim of my righteousness^: you have enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me and hear my prayer.^4:2 O you sons of men, how long will you turn my glory into shame? how long will you love emptiness, and seek after falsehood? Selah.^4:3 But know that YHWH has set apart him that is Holy for himself^: YHWH will hear when I call to him.^4:4 Stand in awe and sin not^: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.^4:5 Slaughter the sacrifice of righteousness, and put your trust in YHWH.^4:6 There are many that say, who will show us any good? YHWH, lift up the light of your countenance upon us.^4:7 You have put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.^4:8 I will both lay down in peace and sleep^: because you YHWH, isolate me to dwell in security.

5:1 Give ear to my words O YHWH, consider my meditation.^5:2 Attend to the voice of my cry, my King and my Elohim^: because to you I will pray.^5:3 My voice will you hear at sunrise O YHWH; in the morning I will direct my prayer to you and will look up.^5:4 Because you are not an El (Elohim) that has pleasure in wickedness^: neither will evil dwell with you.^5:5 The foolish will not stand in your sight^: you hate all workers of trouble.^5:6 You will destroy them that speak falsehood^: YHWH will abhor the bloody and deceitful person.^5:7 But as for me, I will come into your House in the multitude of your mercy^: and in your fear I will worship toward your Holy Temple.^5:8 O YHWH, lead me in your righteousness, because of those observing me, make straight before me your way,^5:9 Because there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is engulfing ruin; their throat is an open grave; they plunder with their tongue.^5:10 Destroy them O Elohim; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against you.^5:11 But let all those that put their trust in you rejoice^: let them ever shout for joy, because you overshadow them^: let them also that love your Name be joyful in you.^5:12 Because you, YHWH, will bless the righteous; with favor will you surround him as with a shield.

6:1 O YHWH, correct me not in your anger, neither discipline me in your hot displeasure.^6:2 Have mercy on me O YHWH; because I am weak^: O YHWH, heal me; for my bones are terrified.^6:3 My life is also exceedingly terrified^: but you, O YHWH, till when? ^6:4 Return O YHWH, deliver my life^: oh save me for your mercies' sake.^6:5 Because in death there is no memory of you^: in Sheol who will give you thanks?^6:6 I am weary with my groaning; all the night I make my bed to swim; I water my bed with my tears.^6:7 My eye is consumed because of grief; it weakens in age because of all my enemies.^6:8 Depart from me all you workers of trouble; because YHWH has heard the voice of my weeping.^6:9 YHWH has heard my supplication; YHWH will receive my prayer.^6:10 Let all my enemies be ashamed and exceedingly terrified^: let them be turned back and be put to shame in a moment.

7:1 O YHWH Elohim, in you do I put my trust^: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me^:7:2 Unless they tear myself like a lion, tearing it in pieces while there is none to deliver.^7:3 O YHWH Elohim, if I have done this; if there is injustice in my hands;^7:4 If I have done my well-wisher bad, and draw my adversary without cause,^7:5 Let the enemy persecute me, and take my life; yes, let him tread down my life upon the ground and lay my honor in the dust. Selah.^7:6 Arise O YHWH in your anger, lift up yourself because of the rage of my enemies^: and awake for me to the judgment that you have commanded.^7:7 So will the congregation of the people surround you all around^: for their sakes therefore come back to the Elevated Place.^7:8 YHWH will judge the people^: judge me O YHWH, according to my righteousness, and according to my integrity that is in me.^7:9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the righteous^: because the righteous Elohim examines the hearts and affections.^7:10 My defense is of Elohim that saves the upright in heart.^7:11 Elohim is a righteous judge, and he is not angry at all times.^7:12 If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he has bent his bow, and made it ready.^7:13 He has also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordains his arrows against the persecutors.^7:14 That man is a worker of trouble; the seed of perverseness has given birth to deceit.^7:15 He made a pit, and excavated it, and has fallen into the ditch that he made.^7:16 His mischief will return upon his own head, and his violent dealing will come down on his own hairy crown.^7:17 I will praise YHWH according to his righteousness^: and will sing praise to the Name of YHWH Most High.

8:1 O YHWH our master, how excellent is your Name in all the earth! who has set your glory above the cosmos.^8:2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings have you ordained strength because of your enemies, that you might still the enemy and the avenger.^8:3 When I consider your universe, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you have ordained;^8:4 What is mortal man, that you are mindful of him? and the son of man, that you appoint him?^8:5 Because you have made him a little lower than the angels, and have crowned him with glory and honor.^8:6 You made him to have dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet^:8:7 All sheep and oxen, yes, and the animals of the field;^8:8 The flying creatures of the sky and the fish of the sea, and whatever passes through the pathways of the seas.^8:9 O YHWH our master, how excellent is your Name in all the earth!

9:1 I will praise you O YHWH, with my whole heart; I will show forth all your marvelous works.^9:2 I will be glad and rejoice in you^: I will sing praise to your Name, O you Most High.^9:3 When my enemies are turned back, they will fall and perish at your presence.^9:4 Because you have maintained my right and my cause; you sit in the throne governing right.^9:5 You have rebuked the nations, you have exterminated the wicked, you have blotted out their name for the ages of ages.^9:6 O you enemy, destruction's are eminent for their completion^: and you have uprooted cities. The memory of them has perished.^9:7 But YHWH will endure for the ages^: he has prepared his throne for Judgment.^9:8 And he will judge the world in righteousness, he will minister judgment to the people in equity.^9:9 YHWH also will be a stronghold for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.^9:10 And they that know your Name will put their trust in you^: for you, YHWH, have not forsaken them that inquire [through Urim- Thummim] of you.^9:11 Sing praises to YHWH that dwells in Zion^: declare among the people his practices.^9:12 For the one who avenges blood remembers them^: he does not forget the cry of the afflicted.^9:13 Have mercy on me O YHWH; consider my trouble from them that hate me, you that lift me up from the gates of death^:9:14 That I may show forth all your praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion^: I will rejoice in your salvation.^9:15 The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made^: in the trap that they concealed is their own foot snared.^9:16 YHWH is known by the Judgment that he executes^: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion (meditation). Selah.^9:17 The wicked are led away to Sheol, and all the nations that forget Elohim.^9:18 Because the needy will not continually be forgotten^: the expectation of the poor will not perish for the ages.^9:19 Arise O YHWH; let not man prevail^: let the nations be Judged in your sight.^9:20 Put them in terror O YHWH^: that the nations may know themselves to be but mortal mankind. Selah.

10:1 Why stand afar off O YHWH? why hid yourself in times of trouble?^10:2 The wicked in his pride does persecute the poor^: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.^10:3 Because the wicked boasts of his heart's desire, and blesses those who gain by unrighteous violence, who YHWH abhors.^10:4 The wicked, through the exaltation of his anger, will not inquire^: Elohim is not in all his purposes.^10:5 His ways are always grievous; your judgments are far above out of his sight^: as for all his enemies, he puffs at them.^10:6 He has said in his heart, I will not be moved^: because I will never be in adversity.^10:7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud^: under his tongue is mischief and trouble.^10:8 He sits in the ambush places of the villages^: in the secret places does he murder the innocent^: his eyes are lurking against the poor.^10:9 He lies in wait secretly as a lion in his den^: he lies in wait to catch the poor^: he does catch the poor, when he draws him into his net.^10:10 He is bruised, he bows down, fallen by his mighty ones has the afflicted.^10:11 He has said in his heart, Elohim has forgotten^: he hides his face; he will never see it.^10:12 Arise O YHWH; O El (Elohim), lift up your hand^: forget not the poor.^10:13 Why does the wicked spurn Elohim? he has said in his heart, you will not require it.^10:14 You have seen it; because you regard mischief and vexation, to produce it with your hands^: the poor commits himself to you; you are the helper of the fatherless.^10:15 Break the arm of the wicked and the bad ones^: seek out his wickedness until you find none.^10:16 YHWH is King for the ages of ages^: the nations are perished out of his land.^10:17 YHWH, you have heard the desire of the poor^: you will prepare their heart, you will cause your ear to hear^:10:18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the land may no more oppress.

11:1 In YHWH I put my trust^: how say to me, flee as a bird to your mountain?^11:2 For lo, the wicked tread a bow, they have prepared their arrow on the string, to shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.^11:3 If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?^11:4 YHWH is in his Holy Temple, YHWH's throne is in the cosmos^: his eyes behold, his eyelids examine the children of mankind.^11:5 YHWH examines the righteous^: but the wicked and him that loves violence he hates.^11:6 Upon the wicked he will rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest^: this will be the portion of their cup.^11:7 Because the righteous YHWH loves righteousness; his countenance does behold the upright.

12:1 Help YHWH; for the Holy man comes to an end; for the faithful disappear from among the children of men.^12:2 They speak falsehood everyone with his neighbor^: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.^12:3 YHWH will cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaks proud things^:12:4 Who have said, with our tongue we will prevail; our lips are our own^: who is master over us? ^12:5 For the ruin of the poor, for the groaning of the needy, now I will arise says YHWH; I will put in safety him that breathes at him.^12:6 The Words of YHWH are pure Words^: as silver smelted in a furnace of earth, purified (refined) 7 times.^12:7 You will observe them, O YHWH, you will preserve them from this generation for the ages.^12:8 The wicked walk all around when worthless men are exalted.

13:1 How long will you ignore me O YHWH? continually? how long will you hide your face from me?^13:2 How long will I take counsel in myself, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long will my enemy be exalted over me?^13:3 Consider and hear me, O YHWH Elohim^: lighten my eyes unless I sleep unto death;^13:4 Unless my enemy says, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am shaken.^13:5 But I have trusted in your mercy; my heart will rejoice in your salvation.^13:6 I will sing to YHWH, because he has dealt bountifully with me.

14:1 The foolish have said in their heart there is no Elohim. They are corrupt, they have done abominable practices, there are none that do good.^14:2 YHWH looked down from the cosmos upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek Elohim.^14:3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy^: there is none that do good, no, not one.^14:4 Have all the workers of trouble no knowledge? who devour my people like they eat bread, and call not upon YHWH.^14:5 There they have feared a fear, for Elohim is in the generation of the righteous.^14:6 You have shamed the counsel of the poor but YHWH is their refuge.^14:7 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when YHWH brings back the captivity of his people, Jacob will rejoice and Israel will be glad.

15:1 YHWH, who will abide in your Tabernacle? who will dwell in your Holy Hill?^15:2 He that walks complete and works righteousness, and speaks the Truth in his heart.^15:3 He that does not slander with his tongue, nor does bad to his neighbor, nor takes up a taunt against his neighbor.^15:4 In whose eyes a despised person is held in contempt; but he honors them that fear YHWH. He has adjured to suffer bad and changes not.^15:5 He that does not lend his money out at interest, nor takes reward against the innocent. He that does these things will never be shaken.

16:1 Guard me O Elohim^: for in you I flee for protection.^16:2 You have said to YHWH, you are my Adonai^: my goodness mounts not unto you;^16:3 But to the Holy that are in the land, and to the majestic, in whom is all my delight.^16:4 Their sorrows will be multiplied that hasten after different ones^: their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.^16:5 YHWH is the portion of my share and of my cup^: you keep my lot.^16:6 The territory is offered to me in pleasant places; yes, I have a beautiful heritage.^16:7 I will bless YHWH who has given me counsel^: my affections also instruct me in the night.^16:8 I have set YHWH always before me^: because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.^16:9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory exults^: my flesh also will tabernacle in security.^16:10 For you will not leave me in Sheol; neither will you suffer your Holy One to see destruction.^16:11 You will show me the path of life^: in your presence is fullness of joy; at your right hand there are pleasures (singing) unto the end.

17:1 Hear justice O YHWH, attend unto my cry, give ear to my prayer, that goes not out of treacherous lips.^17:2 Let my sentence come forth from your presence; let your eyes behold the things that are level.^17:3 You have examined my heart; you have visited me in the night; you have refined me, you find nothing; my thoughts pass not over my mouth.^17:4 Concerning the works of men, by the Word of your lips I have guarded myself from the paths of the violent one.^17:5 Hold up my goings in your paths so that my footsteps slip not.^17:6 I have called upon you, because you will hear me O Elohim^: incline your ear to me and hear my speech.^17:7 Show your marvelous goodness, O you that save by your right hand them that put their trust in you from those that rise up against them.^17:8 Guard me as the pupil of the eye, conceal me under the shadow of your wings,^17:9 From the wicked that assail me, from my deadly enemies who encircle me.^17:10 They are enclosed in their own fat^: with their mouth they speak proudly.^17:11 They have now encircled us in our steps^: they have set their eyes bowing down to the ground;^17:12 Like a lion that is greedy of its prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in hiding places.^17:13 Arise O YHWH, disappoint him, cast him down^: deliver me from the wicked by your sword^:17:14 From men that are your hand, O YHWH, from men of the world that have their portion in this life, and whose belly you fill with your hidden treasure^: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their children.^17:15 As for me, I will behold your face in righteousness^: I will be satisfied when I am resurrected with your likeness.

18:1 I will love you, O YHWH my strength.^18:2 YHWH is my Rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my Elohim, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation and my High Place.^18:3 I will call upon YHWH, who is worthy to be praised^: so I will be delivered from my enemies.^18:4 The pains of dying surround me, and the wadi (streambed) of worthless men terrified me.^18:5 The sorrows of Sheol surround me^: the snares of death confront me.^18:6 In my distress I called on YHWH, and cried to my Elohim^: he heard my voice out of his Temple and my cry came before him, even to his ears.^18:7 Then the earth shook and quaked; the foundations also of the hills quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.^18:8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and supernatural fire out of his mouth devoured^: coals of fire were kindled by it.^18:9 He spread out the cosmos also and descended^: and dark clouds were under his feet.^18:10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did hover^: yes, he did fly upon the edge of the wind.^18:11 He made darkness his covering; his pavilion around him was dark moisture and the cloud-mass of the cloud.^18:12 At the brightness that was before him his cloud-mass passed over, hail and coals of fire.^18:13 YHWH also thundered in the cosmic skies, and the Highest gave his Voice; hail and coals of fire.^18:14 Yes, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightning flashes, and discomfited them.^18:15 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were uncovered at your reproof, O YHWH, at the breathing of the breath of your nostrils.^18:16 He sent from the Elevated Place, he took me, he drew me out of many dangers.^18:17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me^: because they were too strong for me.^18:18 They confronted me in the day of my calamity^: but YHWH was my staff.^18:19 He brought me forth also into an expanse; he removed me because he delighted in me.^18:20 YHWH rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands has he returned me.^18:21 Because I have observed the ways of YHWH, and have not wickedly departed from my Elohim.^18:22 Because all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.^18:23 I was also complete before him, and I kept myself from my depravity.^18:24 Therefore has YHWH returned me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.^18:25 With the merciful you will show yourself merciful; with a complete man you will show yourself complete;^18:26 With the pure you will show yourself pure; and with the perverted you will show yourself to wrestle.^18:27 Because you will liberate the poor people; but will bring down exalted looks.^18:28 For you will light my lamp^: YHWH Elohim will enlighten my darkness.^18:29 Because by you I have run through a troop; and by my Elohim have I leaped over a wall.^18:30 As for Elohim, his way is complete^: the Word of YHWH is refined^: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.^18:31 For who is Elohim except YHWH? or who is a Rock except our Elohim? ^18:32 It is Elohim that clothes me with strength, and consecrates my way as complete.^18:33 He sets my feet like the deer, and stands me upon the High Place.^18:34 He teaches my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by my arms.^18:35 And you give to me the shield of your salvation, and your right hand does support me, and your lowliness makes me great.^18:36 You have enlarged my steps under me so that my feet did not slip.^18:37 I have pursued my enemies and overtaken them^: neither did I turn back until they were consumed.^18:38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise^: they are fallen under my feet.^18:39 Because you have clothed me with strength to the battle^: you have subdued under me those that rose up against me.^18:40 You have also given me the necks of my enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.^18:41 They cried, but there was none to save them^: even to YHWH, but he answered them not.^18:42 Then I did beat them small as the dust before the wind^: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.^18:43 You have delivered me from the controversies of the people; and you have made me the head of the nations^: a people whom I have not known will serve me.^18:44 As soon as they hear of me, they will obey me^: the foreigners will submit themselves to me.^18:45 The foreigners will kneel down, and will shake from their borders.^18:46 YHWH exists; and blessed is my Rock; and let the Elohim of my salvation be exalted.^18:47 It is Elohim that consecrates me and commands the people under me.^18:48 He delivers me from my enemies^: yes, you lift me up above those that rise up against me^: you have delivered me from the man of violence.^18:49 Therefore I will give thanks to you O YHWH, among the nations, and sing praises (making music) to your Name.^18:50 Great deliverance gives he to his king; and shows mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for the ages.

19:1 The cosmos recounts the glory of Elohim; and the expanse makes known his enterprise.^19:2 Day unto day emits speech, and night unto night declares knowledge.^19:3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.^19:4 Their cord is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them had he set a tabernacle for the sun,^19:5 which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoices as a strong man to run a race.^19:6 His going forth is from the end of the cosmos, and his circuit to the ends of it^: and there is nothing hidden from the heat of the sun.^19:7 The Torah of YHWH is complete to return the person^: the testimony of YHWH is faithful, making wise the simple.^19:8 The statutes of YHWH are right, rejoicing the heart^: the commandment of YHWH is pure, enlightening the eyes.^19:9 The fear of YHWH is clean, enduring perpetually^: the Judgments of YHWH are Truth and righteous altogether.^19:10 More to be desired are they than gold, yes, than much fine gold^: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.^19:11 Moreover by them is your slave warned, and in observing them there is great reward.^19:12 Who can understand his errors? clear me from concealed sins.^19:13 Keep back your slave also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me^: then I will be complete, and I will be innocent from the great rebellion.^19:14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O YHWH, my strength and my kinsmen-redeemer.

20:1 YHWH hear you in the day of trouble; the Name of the Elohim of Jacob defend you.^20:2 He does send your help from the Sanctuary, and from Zion does support you,^20:3 Remember all your offerings and accept your whole Burnt-Offerings; Selah.^20:4 Grant you according to your own heart, and fulfill all your counsel.^20:5 We will rejoice in your salvation and in the Name of our Elohim we will set up our banners^: YHWH fulfill all your petitions.^20:6 Now I know that YHWH saves his anointed; he will hear him from his Holy Abode of the stars with the saving strength of his right hand.^20:7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses^: but we will remember the Name of YHWH Elohim.^20:8 They are sunken down and fallen, but we are risen and stand upright.^20:9 Save YHWH^: let the King hear us when we call.

21:1 The king will joy in your strength, O YHWH; and in your salvation how greatly will he rejoice!^21:2 You have given him his heart's desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah.^21:3 Because you put before him blessings of goodness, you set on his head a crown of fine gold.^21:4 Life he has asked from you, you have given to him; length of days for the ages of ages.^21:5 His glory is great in your salvation^: honor and majesty have you laid upon him.^21:6 Because you have made him most blessed for future time^: you have made him exceedingly glad with your countenance.^21:7 For the king trusts in YHWH, and through the mercy of the Most High he will not be shaken.^21:8 Your hand will find out all your enemies^: your right hand will find out those that hate you.^21:9 You will make them as a fiery oven in the time of your presence^: YHWH will swallow them up in his anger, and the fire will devour them.^21:10 Their fruit will you destroy from the land, and their seed from among the children of men.^21:11 For they intended bad against you, they invented a plot that they are not able to perform.^21:12 Therefore you will make them turn their back, when you will make ready your arrows upon your strings against the face of them.^21:13 Be exalted YHWH in your own strength^: so will we sing and praise your power.

22:1 My Elohim, my Elohim, why have you forsaken me? why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my distress cry?^22:2 O my Elohim, I cry in the daytime but you hear not; and in the night season, and am not silent.^22:3 But you are Holy, O you that inhabit the praises of Israel.^22:4 Our forefathers trusted in you^: they trusted and you did deliver them.^22:5 They cried to you and were delivered^: they trusted in you and were not confounded.^22:6 But I am a worm and no man; a taunt of men, and despised of the people.^22:7 All they that see me laugh me to scorn^: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head saying,^22:8 He trusted on YHWH that he would deliver him^: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.^22:9 But you are he that took me out of the womb^: you did make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.^22:10 I was cast upon you from the womb^: you are my Elohim from my mother's womb.^22:11 Be not far from me, because trouble is near, for there is none to help.^22:12 Many young bulls have encircled me^: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me all around.^22:13 They gaped upon me with their mouths as a tearing and roaring lion.^22:14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint^: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the middle of my bowels.^22:15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaves to my jaws; and you have brought me into the dust of death.^22:16 Because dogs have surrounded me^: the assembly of the wicked have enclosed me^: they pierced my hands and my feet.^22:17 I may count all my bones^: they look and stare upon me.^22:18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my clothing.^22:19 But be not far from me O YHWH^: O my strength, quickly act to help me.^22:20 Deliver me from the sword, my life from the power of the dogs.^22:21 Save me from the lion's mouth^: because you have heard me from the horns of the wild bulls.^22:22 I will declare your Name to my brethren^: in the middle of the congregation will I praise you.^22:23 You that fear YHWH, praise him; all you the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all you the descendants of Israel.^22:24 For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither has he hidden his face from him; but when he cried to him he heard.^22:25 My praise will be of you in the great congregation^: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.^22:26 The meek will eat and be satisfied^: they will praise YHWH that will inquire of him^: your heart will live for the ages.^22:27 All the ends of the world will remember and turn to YHWH^: and all the clans of the nations will worship before you.^22:28 Because the kingdom is YHWH's^: and he is the governor among the nations.^22:29 All they that are fat upon earth will eat and worship^: all they that go down to the dust will bow before him^: and none can keep alive his own life.^22:30 A seed will serve him; it will be accounted to Adonai for a generation.^22:31 They will come and will declare his righteousness to a people that will be born, that he has done this.

23:1 YHWH is my Shepherd; I shall not want.^23:2 He causes me to lie down in grassland pastures^: he leads me to the Resting Place of waters.^23:3 He refreshes my life^: he leads me in the track of righteousness for his Name's glory.^23:4 Yes, though I walk through the steep valley of the death-shadow, I will fear no badness^: because you are with me; your rod and your staff they comfort me.^23:5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies^: you anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over.^23:6 Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life^: and I will dwell in the House of YHWH for length of days.

24:1 The earth is YHWH's, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that live on it.^24:2 For he has founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.^24:3 Who will ascend into the Mountain of YHWH? or who will stand in his Holy Place?^24:4 He that has clean hands and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his life to falsehood, nor adjured deceitfully.^24:5 He will receive the blessing from YHWH, and righteousness from the Elohim of his salvation.^24:6 This is the generation of them that inquire of him, that seek your face O Jacob. Selah.^24:7 Lift up your heads, O you stargates; and be lifted up you age-lasting doorways; and the King of glory will come in.^24:8 Who is this King of glory? YHWH strong and mighty, YHWH mighty in battle.^24:9 Lift up your heads, O you stargates; even lift them up, you age-lasting doorways; and the King of glory will come in.^24:10 Who is this King of glory? YHWH of Hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.

25:1 To you O YHWH, do I lift up myself.^25:2 O my Elohim, I trust in you^: let me not be ashamed, let not my enemies triumph over me.^25:3 Yes, let none that wait on you be put to shame^: let them be put to shame that deal treacherously without cause.^25:4 Show me your ways O YHWH; teach me your paths.^25:5 Lead me in your Truth and teach me^: because you are the Elohim of my salvation; on you do I wait all the day.^25:6 Remember O YHWH, your compassion and kindness; for they have been for the ages.^25:7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions^: according to your kindness, remember me for your goodness' sake, O YHWH.^25:8 Good and upright is YHWH^: therefore he will shoot arrows at the sinful in their path.^25:9 But the poor he will lead in judgment^: and the poor he will teach his path.^25:10 All the paths of YHWH are goodness and Truth to such as observe his Covenant and his testimonies.^25:11 For your Name's sake O YHWH, pardon my depravity; for it is great.^25:12 What man is he that fears YHWH? him will he direct in the path that he will choose.^25:13 His life will dwell at ease; and his seed will inherit the earth.^25:14 The council of YHWH is with them that fear him; and he will show them his Covenant.^25:15 My eyes are continually toward YHWH; because he will pluck my feet out of the net.^25:16 Turn you to me and have mercy upon me; for I am solitary and poor.^25:17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged^: O bring me out of my distresses.^25:18 Look upon my affliction and my trouble; and take away all my sins.^25:19 Consider my enemies, because they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.^25:20 O guard my life and deliver me^: let me not be ashamed; because I put my trust in you.^25:21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on you.^25:22 Ransom Israel O Elohim, out of all his troubles.

26:1 Judge me O YHWH; for I have walked in my integrity^: I have trusted also in YHWH; I will not slip.^26:2 Examine me O YHWH, and prove me; refine my affections and my heart.^26:3 Because your kindness is before my eyes^: and I have walked in your Truth.^26:4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with the counterfeiters.^26:5 I have hated the company of the bad; and will not sit with the wicked.^26:6 I will wash my hands in innocence^: so will I compass your Altar O YHWH^:26:7 To sound with a voice of confession, and to recount all your wonders.^26:8 YHWH, I have loved the habitation of your House, and the Standing Place where your honor tabernacles.^26:9 Gather not my life with sinners, nor my life with bloody men^:26:10 In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.^26:11 But as for me, I will walk in my integrity^: ransom me and be gracious to me.^26:12 My foot stands in a level place^: in the choir I will bless YHWH.

27:1 YHWH is my light and my salvation; whom will I fear? YHWH is the strength of my life; of whom will I be afraid? ^27:2 When the wicked, even my enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.^27:3 Though an army should encamp against me, my heart will not fear^: though war should rise against me, in this I will be confident.^27:4 One thing I have inquired [by Urim-Thummim] of YHWH, that I will seek after; that I may dwell in the House of YHWH all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of YHWH, and to inquire in his Temple.^27:5 Because in the time of trouble he will hide me in his covert^: in the covering of his Tabernacle will he hide me; he will set me up upon a Rock.^27:6 And now will my head be lifted up above my enemies all around me^: therefore I will sacrifice in his Tabernacle sacrifices of shout; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to YHWH.^27:7 Hear O YHWH, when I cry with my voice^: have mercy also on me, and answer me.^27:8 Seek my presence, and my heart replied to you, your presence YHWH will I seek.^27:9 Hide not your presence from me; put not your slave away in anger^: you have been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O Elohim of my salvation.^27:10 When my dad and my mother forsake me, then YHWH will gather me up.^27:11 Direct me your path O YHWH, and lead me in a plain path, because of my enemies.^27:12 Deliver me not over to the will of my enemies^: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.^27:13 [I would have fainted], unless I had believed to see the goodness of YHWH in the land of the living.^27:14 Wait on YHWH^: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart^: wait I say, on YHWH.

28:1 To you I will cry, O YHWH my Rock; be not silent to me^: unless, if you are silent to me, I become like them that descend into the pit.^28:2 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry to you, when I lift up my hands toward your Holy Oracle (Urim-Thummim).^28:3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of trouble, which speak peace to their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.^28:4 Pay them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their practices^: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their dealing.^28:5 Because they regard not the works of YHWH, nor the undertaking of his hands, he will destroy them, and not establish them.^28:6 Blessed is YHWH, because he has heard the voice of my supplications.^28:7 YHWH is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped^: therefore my heart greatly rejoices; and with my song I will praise him.^28:8 YHWH is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed.^28:9 Save your people and bless your inheritance^: feed them also and lift them up for the ages.

29:1 Give to YHWH, O you mighty, give to YHWH glory and strength.^29:2 Give to YHWH the glory due unto his Name; worship YHWH in the beauty of Holiness.^29:3 The Voice of YHWH is upon the waters^: the Elohim of glory thunders^: YHWH is upon great waters.^29:4 The Voice of YHWH is powerful; the Voice of YHWH is full of majesty.^29:5 The Voice of YHWH breaks the cedars; yes, YHWH breaks the cedars of Lebanon.^29:6 He makes them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young buffalo.^29:7 The Voice of YHWH divides the flames of supernatural fire.^29:8 The Voice of YHWH shakes the wilderness; YHWH shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.^29:9 The Voice of YHWH makes the doe to calve, and strips the forests^: and in his Temple does everyone speak of his glory.^29:10 YHWH sits upon the flood; yes, YHWH sits as King for the ages.^29:11 YHWH will give strength to his people; YHWH will bless his people with peace.

Will the dust praise you? will it declare your Truth?^30:10 Hear O YHWH and show favor to me^: YHWH, be my support.^30:11 You have turned for me my wailing into dancing^: you have put off my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness;^30:12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to you, and not be silent. O YHWH Elohim, I will give thanks to you for the ages.

31:1 In you, O YHWH, do I flee for protection; let me never be ashamed and let me escape into your righteousness.^31:2 Bow down your ear to me; deliver me speedily^: be my Rock of Refuge, for a House of Stronghold to deliver me.^31:3 Because you are my Rock and my Stronghold; therefore for your Name's sake lead me, and guide me.^31:4 Lead me out of the net that they have laid secretly for me^: because you are my strength.^31:5 Into your hand I commit my breath^: you have ransomed me, O YHWH Elohim of Truth.^31:6 I have hated them that observe false vanities^: but I trust in YHWH.^31:7 I will be glad and rejoice in your kindness^: because you have considered my poverty; you have known my life in dire straits;^31:8 And have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy^: you have set my feet in an expanse.^31:9 Show favor to me O YHWH, because I am in trouble^: my eye is consumed with grief, yes, my emotions and my belly.^31:10 Because my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing^: my strength fails because of my depravity and my bones waste away.^31:11 Among all my adversaries I have been a taunt, And to my neighbors exceedingly, And a fear to my acquaintances, those seeing me outside, fled from me.^31:12 I am withered as a dead man out of mind^: I am like a broken vessel.^31:13 Because I have heard the slander of many^: fear was on every side^: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.^31:14 But I trusted in you O YHWH^: I said, you are my Elohim.^31:15 In your hand are my times, deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from my pursuers.^31:16 Make your presence to shine upon your slave^: save me in your goodness.^31:17 Let me not be ashamed O YHWH; because I have called on you^: let the wicked be ashamed and let them be silenced in Sheol.^31:18 Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.^31:19 How great your goodness that you have laid up for them that fear you; that you have made for them that trust in you before the sons of men! ^31:20 You will hide them in the covering of your presence from the pride of man^: you will hide them in a covert from the strife of tongues.^31:21 Blessed is YHWH^: because he has shown me extraordinary kindness in a besieged city.^31:22 Because I said in my haste, I am cut off from before your eyes^: nevertheless you heard the voice of my supplications when I cried to you.^31:23 O love YHWH all you his saints^: because YHWH guards the faithful, and abundantly rewards the proud doer.^31:24 Be of good courage and he will strengthen your heart, all you that hope in YHWH.

32:1 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.^32:2 Happy is the man to whom YHWH does not impute depravity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.^32:3 When I kept silent, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.^32:4 Because day and night your hand was heavy upon me^: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.^32:5 I acknowledged my sin to you, and my depravity I have not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions to YHWH; and you forgave the depravity of my sin. Selah.^32:6 For this will everyone that is faithful pray to you in a time when you may be found^: surely in the floods of great waters they will not reach him.^32:7 You are my covering; you will preserve me from trouble; you will surround me about with songs of escape. Selah.^32:8 I will teach you and direct you in the way that you will go^: I will guide you with my eye.^32:9 Be not as the horse or as the mule that have no understanding^: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, unless they come near to you.^32:10 Many sorrows will be to the wicked^: but he that trusts in YHWH, goodness will compass him all around.^32:11 Be glad in YHWH, and rejoice you righteous^: and shout for joy all you that are upright in heart.

35:1 Contend O YHWH, with them that are my adversaries^: fight against them that fight against me.^35:2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help.^35:3 Draw out also the spear and deliver up them that persecute me^: say to me, I am your salvation.^35:4 Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my life^: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my calamity.^35:5 Let them be as chaff before the wind^: and let the Angel of YHWH chase them.^35:6 Let their way be dark and slippery^: and let the Angel of YHWH pursue them.^35:7 For without cause have they concealed for me their net in a pit, so that without cause they have searched out for my life.^35:8 Meet him does the desolation, he knows not, And his net that he concealed catches him, for desolation he falls into it.^35:9 But my life will be joyful in YHWH^: it will rejoice in his salvation.^35:10 All my bones will say, YHWH, who is like unto you, that delivers the poor from him that is too strong for him, yes, the poor and the needy from him that plunders him?^35:11 False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not.^35:12 They rewarded me bad for good to the bereavement of my life.^35:13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth^: I humbled myself with fasting, and my prayer returned into my own bosom.^35:14 I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother^: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourns for his mother.^35:15 But in my stumbling they rejoiced and gathered themselves together^: yes, the stricken gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me and ceased not^:35:16 With profane ones, mockers in feasts, gnashing against me their teeth.^35:17 Adonai, how long will you look on? rescue me from their destruction, my only one from the young lion.^35:18 I will give you thanks in the great company^: I will praise you among numerous peoples.^35:19 Let not them that are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me^: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.^35:20 Because they speak not peace^: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.^35:21 Yes, they opened their mouth wide against me and said, Aha, aha, our eye has seen it.^35:22 This you have seen O YHWH^: keep not silent O Adonai, be not far from me.^35:23 Stir up yourself and awake to my judgment, even to my cause, my Elohim and my Adonai.^35:24 Judge me O YHWH Elohim, according to your righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.^35:25 Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it^: let them not say, we have swallowed him up.^35:26 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at my calamity^: let them be clothed with shame and dishonor that magnify themselves against me.^35:27 Let them give a ringing cry and rejoice, that favor my righteous cause^: yes, let them say continually, let YHWH be magnified that has pleasure in the welfare of his slave.^35:28 And my tongue will speak of your righteousness and of your praise all the day long.

36:1 The rebellion of the wicked is affirming within my heart that there is no fear of Elohim before their eyes.^36:2 For they flatter themselves in their own eyes, until their depravity is found to be hateful.^36:3 The words of their mouth are trouble and deceit^: they have left off being wise and to do good.^36:4 He invents trouble upon his bed; he sets himself in a way that is not good; he rejects not the bad.^36:5 Your goodness O YHWH is in the cosmos; and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.^36:6 Your righteousness is like the great mountains; your judgments are a great abyss^: O YHWH, you preserve man and animal.^36:7 How excellent is your goodness O Elohim! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of your wings.^36:8 They will be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of your house; and you will make them drink of the river of your pleasures.^36:9 Because with you is the fountain of life^: in your light will we see light.^36:10 O continue your goodness to them that know you; and your righteousness to the upright in heart.^36:11 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.^36:12 There are the workers of trouble fallen^: they are cast down and will not be able to rise.

37:1 Do not fret because of badness, neither be envious against the workers of injustice.^37:2 For they will soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.^37:3 Trust in YHWH and do good; so will you settle down in the land, and in stableness you will be fed.^37:4 Delight yourself also in YHWH; and he will give you the desires of your heart.^37:5 Commit your way to YHWH; trust also in him and he will bring it to pass.^37:6 And he will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your judgment as the noonday.^37:7 Rest in YHWH and wait patiently for him^: fret not yourself because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked devices to pass.^37:8 Cease from anger and forsake wrath^: fret not yourself in any way to do evil.^37:9 Because evildoers will be cut off^: but those that wait upon YHWH, they will inherit the land.^37:10 Because still a little while and the wicked will not exist^: yes, you will diligently consider their standing place, and it will not exist.^37:11 But the poor will inherit the land; and will delight themselves in the abundance of peace.^37:12 The wicked plots against the just, and grinds upon him with his teeth.^37:13 Adonai will laugh at him^: because he sees that his day is coming.^37:14 The wicked have drawn out the sword and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to kill such as be of upright manners.^37:15 Their sword will enter into their own heart and their bows will be broken.^37:16 A little that a righteous man has is better than the riches of many wicked.^37:17 Because the arms of the wicked will be broken^: but YHWH upholds the righteous.^37:18 YHWH knows the days of the upright^: and their inheritance will be for the ages.^37:19 They will not be ashamed in the bad times^: and in the days of famine they will be satisfied.^37:20 But the wicked will perish and the enemies of YHWH will be as the fat of lambs^: they will consume into smoke, and will consume away.^37:21 The wicked borrows and does not repay^: but the righteous shows favor and gives.^37:22 Because blessed are they that will inherit the earth; and cursed are them that will be cut off.^37:23 The steps of a man are ordered by YHWH^: and he delights in his way.^37:24 Though he falls, he will not be utterly cast down, because YHWH supports him with his hand.^37:25 I have been young and now am old; still I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his offspring seeking food.^37:26 He is gracious and lends; and his offspring is blessed.^37:27 Turn aside from bad and do good; and settle down for the ages.^37:28 Because YHWH loves judgment, and forsakes not his saints; they are preserved for the ages^: but the offspring of the wicked will be cut off.^37:29 The righteous will inherit the land and settle there in the future.^37:30 The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom and his tongue talks of judgment.^37:31 The Torah of Elohim is in his heart; none of his steps will slide.^37:32 The wicked watches the righteous and seeks to kill him.^37:33 YHWH will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.^37:34 Wait on YHWH and observe his way, and he will exalt you to inherit the land^: when the wicked are cut off you will see it.^37:35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green tree growing in its own soil.^37:36 Yet he passed away, and lo, he was not^: yes, I sought him but he could not be found.^37:37 Protect the complete and inspect the upright^: because the end of that man is peace.^37:38 But the rebellious will be destroyed together^: the end of the wicked will be cut off.^37:39 But the salvation of the righteous is of YHWH^: he is their Place of Safety in the time of trouble.^37:40 And YHWH will help them, and deliver them^: he will deliver them from the wicked and save them, because they trust in him.

38:1 O YHWH, correct me not in your anger^: neither discipline me in your hot rage.^38:2 Because your arrows stick fast in me and your hand presses me down.^38:3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of your anger; neither is there any tranquillity in my bones because of my sin.^38:4 Because my depravities are gone over my head^: as a heavy burden they are too weighty for me.^38:5 My wounds stink and are festering because of my folly.^38:6 I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.^38:7 Because my loins are filled with a loathsome [depravity] ^: and there is no soundness in my flesh.^38:8 I am feeble and very broken^: I have cried by reason of the groaning of my heart.^38:9 Adonai, all my desire is before you; and my groaning is not hidden from you.^38:10 My heart pants, my strength fails me^: as for the light of my eyes, it also is gone from me.^38:11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my wound; and my kinsmen stand afar off.^38:12 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.^38:13 But I, as a deaf man heard not; and I was as a dumb man that opened not his mouth.^38:14 So I was as a man that hears not, and in whose mouth are no arguments.^38:15 Because in you O YHWH, do I hope^: you will hear, O Adonai Elohim.^38:16 Because I said, hear me, unless they should rejoice over me when my foot slips, and magnify themselves against me.^38:17 Because I am ready to stumble and my sorrow is continually before me.^38:18 Because I will declare my depravity; I will be sorry for my sin.^38:19 But my enemies are lively and they are strong^: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.^38:20 They also that render bad for good are my adversaries; because I follow the thing that is good.^38:21 Forsake me not O YHWH^: O my Elohim, be not far from me.^38:22 Hurry to help me, O Adonai my salvation.

39:1 I said, I will take heed to my ways so that I sin not with my tongue^: I will guard my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.^39:2 I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred.^39:3 My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned^: then I spoke with my tongue,^39:4 YHWH, make me to know my end and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am.^39:5 Behold, you have made my days as a span; and my age is as nothing before you^: certainly every man at his best state is in totality a vapor. Selah.^39:6 Certainly every man walks in emptiness^: surely they are disquieted in breath^: he piles up grain and silver and knows not who will gather them.^39:7 And now Adonai, what do I wait for? my hope is in you.^39:8 Deliver me from all my transgressions^: make me not the taunt of the foolish.^39:9 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because you did it.^39:10 Remove your stroke away from me^: I am consumed by the blow of your hand.^39:11 When you with rebukes do correct man for depravity, you make his beauty to consume away like a moth^: certainly everyone is as a vapor. Selah.^39:12 Hear my prayer O YHWH, and give ear to my cry; hold not your silence at my tears^: because I am a sojourner with you and a foreigner, as all my forefathers were.^39:13 O spare me so that I may recover strength, before I go away and exist no more.

40:1 I waited patiently for YHWH; and he inclined to me and heard my cry.^40:2 He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a Rock, and established my steps.^40:3 And he has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our Elohim^: many will see it and fear, and will trust in YHWH.^40:4 Happy is that man that makes YHWH his trust, and respects not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.^40:5 Many, O YHWH Elohim, are your wonderful works that you have done, and your thoughts that are toward us^: they cannot be reckoned up in order to you^: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.^40:6 Sacrifice and offering you did not desire; my ears have you opened^: whole Burnt-Offering and Sin-Offering you have not required.^40:7 Then I said, Lo, I come^: in the writing of the scroll it is written of me,^40:8 I delight to do your will, O my Elohim^: yes, your Law is within my inward parts.^40:9 I have announced righteousness in the great company^: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O YHWH you know.^40:10 I have not hid your righteousness within my heart; I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation^: I have not concealed your goodness and your Truth from the great company.^40:11 Withhold not your tender compassion from me O YHWH^: let your goodness and your Truth continually guard me.^40:12 Because innumerable badness has compassed me all around^: my depravities have taken hold of me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of my head^: therefore my heart apostatizes.^40:13 Be pleased O YHWH to deliver me^: O YHWH, hurry to help me.^40:14 Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my life to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me bad.^40:15 Let them be appalled for a reward of their shame that say to me, Aha, aha.^40:16 Let all those that seek you rejoice and be glad in you^: let such as love your salvation say continually, YHWH be magnified.^40:17 But I am poor and needy; still Adonai thinks upon me^: you are my help and my deliverer; make no delaying O my Elohim.

41:1 Blessed is he that considers the poor^: YHWH will deliver him in time of trouble.^41:2 YHWH will guard him and sustain him alive; and he will be advanced upon the land^: and you will not deliver him to the appetites of his enemies.^41:3 YHWH supports on a couch of sickness, all his bed you have turned in his weakness.^41:4 I said, YHWH, show favor to me^: heal me because I have sinned against you.^41:5 My enemies speak bad of me, when will he die and his name perishes?^41:6 And if he comes to see me, he speaks falsehoods, his heart gathers trouble to itself; when he goes abroad he speaks from it.^41:7 All that hate me whisper together against me^: against me do they devise my calamity.^41:8 A base fellow cleaves fast to him^: and now that he lies down he will rise up no more.^41:9 Yes, my own familiar friend in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.^41:10 But you O YHWH, show favor to me and raise me up so that I may repay them.^41:11 By this I know that you favor me, because my enemy does not triumph over me.^41:12 And as for me, you uphold me in my integrity, and set me before your presence for the ages.^41:13 Blessed is YHWH Elohim of Israel from the ages to the ages. Amen, and Amen.

42:1 As the deer pants after the brooks of water, so pants my mind after you, O Elohim.^42:2 My mind thirsts for Elohim, for the living Elohim^: when will I come and appear before Elohim?^42:3 My tears have been my food day and night, while they continually say to me, where is your Elohim?^42:4 When I remember these things, I pour out myself inside^: because I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the House of Elohim, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that observed Festival.^42:5 Why are you cast down, O my mind? and why are you disquieted in me? hope you in Elohim^: because I will still praise him for the prosperity of his presence.^42:6 O my Elohim, my mind is cast down within me^: therefore I will remember you from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar.^42:7 Deep seas cry out to the deep places at the sound of your waterspouts^: all your breakers and waves are gone over me.^42:8 Still YHWH will command his goodness in the daytime, and in the night his song will be with me, and my prayer to the living Elohim.^42:9 I will say to Elohim my Rock, why have you forgotten me? why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? ^42:10 As with a sword in my bones, my enemies reproach me; while they say daily to me, where is your Elohim? ^42:11 Why are you cast down, O my mind? and why are you disquieted within me? hope you in Elohim^: because I will still praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my Elohim.

43:1 Judge me, O Elohim, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation^: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.^43:2 Because you are the Elohim of my strength^: why do you cast me off? why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?^43:3 O send out your Light and your Truth^: let them lead me; let them bring me to your Holy Mountain, and to your Tabernacle.^43:4 Then I will go to the Altar of Elohim, to Elohim my exceeding joy^: yes, upon the lyre I will praise you, O Elohim my Elohim.^43:5 Why are you cast down, O my mind? and why are you disquieted within me? hope in Elohim^: because I will yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my Elohim.

44:1 We have heard with our ears, O Elohim, our forefathers have told us, what work you did in their days, in the ancient times.^44:2 How you did drive out the nations with your hand, and planted them; how you did afflict the people, and cast them out.^44:3 For, not by their sword possessed they the land, and their arm gave not salvation to them, but your right hand and your arm, and the light of your countenance, because you had accepted them.^44:4 You are my King O Elohim^: command salvation for Jacob.^44:5 Through you will we tread down our enemies^: through your Name will we gore them under that rise up against us.^44:6 Because I will not trust in my bow, neither will my sword save me.^44:7 But you have saved us from our enemies, and have put them to shame that hated us.^44:8 In Elohim we boast all the day long, and praise your Name for the ages. Selah.^44:9 But you have cast off and put us to shame; and go not out with our armies.^44:10 You make us to turn back from the enemy^: and they that hate us plunder for themselves.^44:11 You have given us like sheep for meat; and have scattered us among the nations.^44:12 You sell your people, without wealth, and have not become great by their price.^44:13 You make us a scorn to our neighbors, a taunt and a derision to them that are all around us.^44:14 You make us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the people.^44:15 My shame is continually before me, the shame of my face has covered me,^44:16 Because the voice of him that taunts and blasphemes; by reason of the enemy and avenger.^44:17 All this is come upon us; still we have not forgotten you, neither have we dealt falsely in your Covenant.^44:18 Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from your way;^44:19 Though you have crushed us in the standing place of serpents, and covered us with the death- shadow.^44:20 If we have forgotten the Name of our Elohim, or stretched out our hands to an alien elohim;^44:21 Will not Elohim search this out? because he knows the secrets of the heart.^44:22 Yes, for your sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.^44:23 Awake, why sleep O Adonai? arise, cast us not off unto the end.^44:24 Why hide your face and forget our affliction and our oppression?^44:25 Because our life is bowed down to the dust^: our belly cleaves to the ground.^44:26 Arise for our help, and ransom us for your goodness' sake.

45:1 My heart is stirring in a good matter^: I speak of the things that I have made touching the king^: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.^45:2 You are fairer than the children of men^: grace is poured into your lips^: therefore Elohim has blessed you for the ages.^45:3 Belt your sword on your thigh O mighty, with your glory and majesty.^45:4 And in your majesty ride prosperously because of Truth and meekness and righteousness; and your right hand will teach you dreadful things.^45:5 Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the people fall under you.^45:6 Your throne O Elohim, is for the ages of the ages^: the Scepter of your kingdom is a Table-Land Scepter.^45:7 You love righteousness and hate wickedness^: therefore Elohim, your Elohim, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your associates.^45:8 All your garments smell of myrrh and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made you rejoice.^45:9 Kings' daughters were among your honorable women^: upon your right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.^45:10 Listen O daughter, and consider, incline your ear; forget also your own people, and your father's house;^45:11 So will the king greatly desire your beauty^: because he is your Adonai; and you worship him.^45:12 And the daughter of Tyre will be there with a gift; even the rich among the people will appease your favor.^45:13 The king's daughter is all glorious within^: her clothing is of filigreed gold.^45:14 She will be brought to the king in clothing of needlework^: the virgins her companions that follow her will be brought to you.^45:15 With gladness and rejoicing will they be brought^: they will enter into the king's palace.^45:16 Instead of your fathers will be your children, whom you may make princes in all the land.^45:17 I will make your name to be remembered in all generations^: therefore will the people praise you for the ages of ages.

46:1 Elohim is our refuge and strength, a very secure help in trouble.^46:2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth is altered, and though the mountains are carried into the middle of the sea;^46:3 Though the waters thereof rage and are foaming up, though the mountains shake with the swelling of the sea. Selah.^46:4 There is a river, the streams there will make glad the City of Elohim, the Holy Place of the Tabernacle of the Most High.^46:5 Elohim is in the middle of her; she will not be shaken^: Elohim will help her at the sunrise.^46:6 The nations raged, the kingdoms were shaken^: he uttered his Voice, the land liquefied.^46:7 YHWH of Hosts is with us; the Elohim of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah.^46:8 Come, behold the works of YHWH, what appalment he has made in the earth.^46:9 He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth; he breaks the bow, and cuts the spear in to bits; he burns the wagons in the fire.^46:10 Be still and know that I am Elohim^: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the land.^46:11 YHWH of Hosts is with us; the Elohim of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah.

47:1 O clap your hands, all you people; shout to Elohim with the voice of triumph.^47:2 Because YHWH Most High is held in awe; he is a great King over all the earth.^47:3 He will subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet.^47:4 He will choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.^47:5 Elohim is gone up with a shout, YHWH with the sound of a trumpet.^47:6 Sing praises to Elohim, sing praises^: sing praises to our King, sing praises.^47:7 Because Elohim is the King of all the earth^: sing praises with understanding.^47:8 Elohim reigns over the nations^: Elohim sits upon the throne of his Holiness.^47:9 The princes of the people are gathered together, even the people of the Elohim of Abraham^: for the shields of the earth belong to Elohim^: he is greatly exalted.

48:1 Great is YHWH, and greatly to be praised in the City of our Elohim, in the Mountain of his Holiness.^48:2 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole land is Mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the City of the Great King.^48:3 Elohim is known in her palaces for a stronghold.^48:4 For lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.^48:5 They saw it and were dumbfounded; they were terrified and fled.^48:6 Terror took hold of them there, and pain, as of a woman in labor.^48:7 You break in pieces the ships of Tarshish with an East wind.^48:8 As we have heard, so have we seen in the City of YHWH of Hosts, in the city of our Elohim^: Elohim will establish it for the ages. Selah.^48:9 We have thought of your goodness O Elohim, in the inner part of your Temple.^48:10 According to your Name O Elohim, so is your praise to the ends of the earth^: your right hand is full of righteousness.^48:11 Let Mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of your Judgments.^48:12 Walk about Zion and go all around her^: count the towers of it.^48:13 Mark well her bulwarks, consider her fortresses; that you may tell it to the generation following.^48:14 For this Elohim is our Elohim for the ages of the ages^: he will be our guide even unto death.

49:1 Hear this, all you people; give ear, all you inhabitants of the world^:49:2 Both low and high, rich and poor, together.^49:3 My mouth will speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart will be of understanding.^49:4 I will incline my ear to a parable^: I will open my dark saying upon the lyre.^49:5 Why should I fear in the days of badness, when the depravity of my heels will compass me all around? ^49:6 They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;^49:7 None of them can by any means ransom his brother, nor give to Elohim a ransom for him^:49:8 (For the ransom of their lives are precious, and it has ceased, to the age^:) ^49:9 That he should still live unto the end and not see corruption.^49:10 Because he sees that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.^49:11 Their inward thought is, that their houses will continue for the ages, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names.^49:12 Nevertheless man being in honor abides not^: he is like the animals that perish.^49:13 This their way is their folly^: still their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.^49:14 Like sheep they are laid in Sheol; death will feed on them; and the upright will have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty will consume in Sheol from their dwelling.^49:15 But Elohim will ransom my life from the power of Sheol^: because he will receive me. Selah.^49:16 Be not afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;^49:17 Because when he dies he will carry nothing away^: his glory will not descend after him.^49:18 Though while he lived he blessed his life^: and people will praise you, when you do well to yourself.^49:19 He will go to the generation of his forefathers; they will never see the light of day.^49:20 Man that is in honor and understands not, is like the animals that perish.

50:1 The mighty Elohim, even YHWH has spoken and called the earth from the rising of the sun to its going down.^50:2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, Elohim has shined.^50:3 Our Elohim will come and will not keep silent^: a supernatural fire will devour before him, and it will be very storming all around him.^50:4 He will call to the cosmos from above and to the earth, that he may Judge his people.^50:5 Gather my saints together to me; those that have made a Covenant with me by the sacrifices of righteousness.^50:6 And the cosmos will declare his righteousness^: because Elohim is Judge himself. Selah.^50:7 Hear O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against you^: I am Elohim, even your Elohim.^50:8 Not for your sacrifices do I rebuke you, yes, your whole Burnt-Offerings are before me continually.^50:9 I will take no young bulls out of your stables, nor he-goats out of your folds.^50:10 Because every animal of the forest is mine, including the cattle upon a thousand hills.^50:11 I know all the flying creatures of the mountains^: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.^50:12 If I were hungry, I would not tell you^: for the world is mine and its fullness thereof.^50:13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of he-goats?^50:14 Offer to Elohim thanksgiving; and pay your Votive-Offering to the Most High^:50:15 And call upon me in the day of trouble^: I will deliver you, and you will glorify me.^50:16 And to the wicked has Elohim said^: What to you, to recount my statutes? That you lift up my Covenant on your mouth?^50:17 Seeing you hate instruction, and cast my Words behind you.^50:18 When you saw a thief, then you consent with him, and have been partaker with adulterers.^50:19 You give your mouth to bad, and your tongue frames deceit.^50:20 You sit and speak against your brother; you slander your own mother's son.^50:21 These things have you done and I kept silent; you thought that I was altogether such a one as yourself^: but I will rebuke you, and set them in order before your eyes.^50:22 Now consider this, you that forget Elohim, unless I tear you in pieces and there is none to deliver.^50:23 Whoever offers praise glorifies me^: and to him that orders his path aright I will show the salvation of Elohim.

51:1 Have mercy on me O Elohim, according to your goodness^: according to the wealth of your compassion blot out my transgressions.^51:2 Wash me thoroughly from my depravity, and cleanse me from my sin.^51:3 Because I acknowledge my transgressions^: and my sin is continual.^51:4 Against you, you only, have I sinned, and done bad in your sight^: that you might be justified when you speak, and be clear when you Judge.^51:5 Behold, I was shaped in depravity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.^51:6 Observe, you desire Truth in the inward parts^: and in the hidden part you will make me to know wisdom.^51:7 Purge me with hyssop and I will be clean^: wash me and I will be whiter than snow.^51:8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones that you have broken may rejoice.^51:9 Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all my depravities.^51:10 Create in me a clean heart O Elohim; and renew a right spirit within me.^51:11 Cast me not away from your presence; and take not your Sacred Spirit from me.^51:12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation; and uphold me with your Noble Spirit.^51:13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways; and sinners will be converted to you.^51:14 Deliver me from blood O Elohim, you Elohim of my salvation^: and my tongue will sing aloud of your righteousness.^51:15 O Adonai, open my lips; and my mouth will show forth your praise.^51:16 Because you desire not sacrifice; else would I give it^: you delight not in whole Burnt-Offering.^51:17 The sacrifices of Elohim are a broken spirit^: a broken and a contrite heart O Elohim, you will not despise.^51:18 Do good in your good pleasure unto Zion^: rebuild the wall of Jerusalem.^51:19 Then you will be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with whole Burnt-Offerings that ascend^: then will they offer young bulls upon your Altar.

52:1 Why boast you yourself in bad, O mighty man? the goodness of Elohim endures daily.^52:2 Your tongue devises calamity; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.^52:3 You love bad more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.^52:4 You love all devouring speech, O you deceitful tongue.^52:5 Elohim will likewise destroy you unto the end, he will take you away and pluck you out of your dwelling place, and root you out of the land of the living. Selah.^52:6 The righteous also will see, and fear, and will laugh at him^:52:7 Lo, this is the man that made not Elohim his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his desires.^52:8 But I am like a green olive tree in the House of Elohim^: I trust in the goodness of Elohim for the ages of the ages.^52:9 I will praise you for the age, because you have done it^: and I will wait on your Name; because it is good in the presence of your saints.

53:1 The fool has said in his heart, there is no Elohim. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable injustice^: there is none that does good.^53:2 Elohim looked down from the cosmos upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek Elohim.^53:3 Everyone of them has gone back^: they are altogether become morally corrupt; there is none that does good, no, not one.^53:4 Have the workers of trouble no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread^: they have not called upon Elohim.^53:5 There they feared a fear (there was no fear) for Elohim has scattered the bones of him who is encamping against you, you have put to shame, for Elohim has despised them.^53:6 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When Elohim brings back the captivity of his people, Jacob will rejoice, and Israel will be glad.

54:1 Save me O Elohim, by your Name, and Judge me by your strength.^54:2 Hear my prayer O Elohim; give ear to the words of my mouth.^54:3 For foreigners are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my life^: they have not set Elohim before them. Selah.^54:4 Behold, Elohim is my helper^: Adonai is with them that uphold my life.^54:5 He will reward bad to my enemies^: cut them off in your Truth.^54:6 I will freely sacrifice to you^: I will praise your Name O YHWH; because it is good.^54:7 because he has delivered me out of all trouble^: and my eye has seen his desire upon my enemies.

55:1 Give ear to my prayer O Elohim, and hide not yourself from my supplication.^55:2 Attend to me and hear me^: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;^55:3 Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked^: for they cast trouble upon me, and in anger they hate me.^55:4 My heart is very pained within me^: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.^55:5 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror has overwhelmed me.^55:6 And I said, oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away and be at rest.^55:7 Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. Selah.^55:8 I would hurry my escape from the windy storm and tempest.^55:9 Destroy O Adonai, and divide their tongues^: because I have seen violence and strife in the city.^55:10 Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof^: trouble also and sorrow are in the midst of it.^55:11 Wickedness is in there^: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.^55:12 For it was not an enemy that taunted me; then I could have borne it^: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him^:55:13 But it was you, a man my equal, my guide and my acquaintance.^55:14 We took sweet counsel together, and walked to the House of Elohim in company.^55:15 Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into Sheol^: because wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.^55:16 As for me, I will call upon Elohim; and YHWH will save me.^55:17 Evening, and morning, and at noon, I will pray and cry aloud^: and he will hear my voice.^55:18 He has delivered my life in peace from the battle that was against me^: for there were many with me.^55:19 Elohim will hear and afflict them, even he that abides of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not Elohim.^55:20 He has put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him^: he has broken his pledge.^55:21 The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart^: his words were softer than oil, still were they drawn swords.^55:22 Cast your burden upon YHWH, and he will sustain you^: he will never suffer the righteous to be shaken.^55:23 But you O Elohim, will bring them down into the pit of destruction^: bloody and deceitful men will not live out half their days; but I will trust in you.

56:1 Be merciful to me O Elohim^: because man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresses me.^56:2 My enemies would daily swallow me up^: because they are many that fight against me, O you Most High.^56:3 When I am afraid, in that time I will trust in you.^56:4 In Elohim I will praise his Word, in Elohim I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do to me.^56:5 Every day they wrest my Words^: all their thoughts are against me for bad.^56:6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my life.^56:7 Will they escape by trouble of iniquity? in your anger cast down the people O Elohim.^56:8 You tell my wanderings^: put my tears into your bottle^: are they not in your Book?^56:9 When I cry to you, then will my enemies turn back^: this I know; because Elohim is for me.^56:10 In Elohim I will praise his Word^: in YHWH I will praise his Word.^56:11 In Elohim I have put my trust^: I will not be afraid what man can do to me.^56:12 Your vows are upon me O Elohim^: I will render praises to you.^56:13 Because you have delivered me from death^: will you not prevent my feet from falling so that I may walk before Elohim in the light of the living?

57:1 Be gracious to me O Elohim, be gracious to me^: because I trust in you^: yes, in the shadow of your wings I will flee for protection, until these calamities have passed over.^57:2 I will cry to Elohim Most High; to Elohim that performs all things for me.^57:3 He will send from the cosmos, and save me from the scorn of him that would swallow me up. Selah. Elohim will send forth his goodness and Truth.^57:4 My life is among lions^: and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.^57:5 Be exalted O Elohim, above the cosmos; let your glory be above all the earth.^57:6 They have prepared a net for my steps; my life is bowed down^: they have dug a pit before me, into its middle they are fallen themselves. Selah.^57:7 My heart is fixed O Elohim, my heart is fixed^: I will sing and give praise.^57:8 Awake up, my glory; awake, bagpipe (skin-bag) and lyre^: I myself will awake at dawn.^57:9 I will praise you O Adonai, among the people^: I will sing to you among the nations.^57:10 Because your goodness extends to the cosmos, and your Truth to the clouds.^57:11 Be exalted O Elohim, above the cosmos^: let your glory be above all the earth.

58:1 Do you indeed speak righteousness in silence? do you judge in equity, O you sons of men?^58:2 Yes, in heart you work wickedness; you weigh the violence of your hands in the land.^58:3 The wicked are estranged from the womb^: they go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies.^58:4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent^: they are like the deaf adder that stops her ear;^58:5 Which will not listen to the voice of conjurers, a charmer of charms most skillful.^58:6 Break their teeth O Elohim, in their mouth^: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O YHWH.^58:7 Let them melt away as waters that run continually^: when he bends his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.^58:8 As a snail that melts, let everyone of them pass away^: like the untimely birth of a woman that they may not see the sun.^58:9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, he will take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his anger.^58:10 The righteous will rejoice when he sees the vengeance^: he will wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.^58:11 So that a man will say, truly there is a reward for the righteous^: truly he is an Elohim that judges in the land.

59:1 Deliver me from my enemies, O my Elohim^: defend me from them that rise up against me.^59:2 Deliver me from the workers of trouble, and save me from bloody men.^59:3 For lo, they lie in ambush for my life^: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin O YHWH.^59:4 Without punishment they run and prepare themselves, stir up to meet me and see.^59:5 You therefore, O YHWH Elohim of Hosts, the Elohim of Israel, awake to visit all the nations^: do not show favor to any wicked transgressors. Selah.^59:6 They return at sunset^: they make a sound like a dog, and go all around the city.^59:7 Observe, they belch out with their mouth and swords are in their lips^: because who they say will hear?^59:8 But you O YHWH will laugh at them; you will have all the nations in derision.^59:9 Because of his strength I will wait upon you^: because Elohim is my stronghold.^59:10 Elohim does go before me, he causes me to look on my enemies.^59:11 Kill them not, unless my people forget^: scatter them by your power; and bring them down, O Adonai our shield.^59:12 For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride^: and for cursing and lying that they speak.^59:13 Consume them in anger, consume them and they are not^: and let them know that Elohim rules in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah.^59:14 And at sunset let them return; and let them make a sound like a dog, and go all around the city.^59:15 Let them wander up and down to eat, and complain if they are not satisfied.^59:16 But I will sing of your power; yes, I will sing aloud of your mercy in the morning^: because you have been my stronghold and place of escape in the day of my trouble.^59:17 Unto you, O my strength, will I sing^: because Elohim is my stronghold, and the Elohim of my goodness.

60:1 O Elohim, you have cast us off, you have scattered us, you have been displeased; O turn yourself to us again.^60:2 You have made the earth to tremble; you have broken it^: heal the breaches thereof; for it shakes.^60:3 You have shown your people hard things^: you have made us to drink the wine of reeling.^60:4 You have given to those fearing you an ensign. To be lifted up as an ensign because of Truth. Selah.^60:5 That your beloved may be delivered; save with your right hand and respond to me.^60:6 Elohim has spoken in his Holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and measure out the Valley of Succoth.^60:7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of my head; Judah is my Engraved [as the engraved Lion];^60:8 Moab is my pot for washing, over Edom I cast my shoe, shout, concerning me, O Philistia.^60:9 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?^60:10 Will not you O Elohim, which had cast us off? and you O Elohim, that did not go out with our armies? ^60:11 Give us help from trouble^: for empty is the deliverance of man.^60:12 Through Elohim we will do valiantly^: because he it is that will tread down our enemies.

61:1 Hear my cry O Elohim; attend to my prayer.^61:2 From the end of the earth I will cry to you, when my heart is overwhelmed^: lead me to the Rock [Urim-Thummim] that is higher than I.^61:3 Because you have been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.^61:4 I will abide in your Tabernacle for the ages^: I will trust in the covering of your wings. Selah.^61:5 Because you O Elohim, have heard my Votive- Offering^: you have given me the heritage of those that fear your Name.^61:6 You will prolong the king's life^: and his years as many generations.^61:7 He will abide before Elohim for the ages^: O appoint goodness and Truth, that may guard him.^61:8 So will I sing praise to your Name continually so that I may daily perform my Votive-Offering.

62:1 Truly my life waits upon Elohim^: from him comes my salvation.^62:2 He only is my Rock and my salvation; he is my stronghold; I will not be greatly shaken.^62:3 How long will you imagine mischief against a man? you will be killed, all of you^: As a wall inclined, a hedge that is cast down.^62:4 They only consult to cast him down from his Excellency^: they delight in lies^: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.^62:5 My life waits only upon Elohim; because my expectation is from him.^62:6 He only is my Rock and my salvation^: he is my stronghold; I will not be shaken.^62:7 In Elohim is my salvation and my glory^: the Rock of my strength and my refuge, is in Elohim.^62:8 Trust in him at all times; you people, pour out your heart before him^: Elohim is a refuge for us. Selah.^62:9 Certainly men of low degree are vaporous, and men of high degree are a lie^: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vapor.^62:10 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in something plundered^: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.^62:11 Elohim has spoken once; twice I have heard this; that power belongs to Elohim.^62:12 Also to you O Adonai, belongs goodness^: because you render to everyone according to their work.

63:1 O Elohim, you are my Elohim; early I will seek you^: my mind thirsts for you, my flesh longs for you in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;^63:2 To see your power and your glory, so as I have seen you in the Sanctuary.^63:3 Because your goodness is better than life, my lips will praise you.^63:4 So will I bless you while I live^: I will lift up my hands in your Name.^63:5 My life will be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth will praise with joyful lips^:63:6 When I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the night-watch.^63:7 Because you have been my help, therefore in the shadow of your wings will I overcome.^63:8 My mind follows hard after you^: your right hand upholds me.^63:9 But those that seek my life, to destroy it, will go into the lower parts of the earth.^63:10 They will fall by the sword^: they will be a portion for foxes.^63:11 But the king will rejoice in Elohim; everyone that adjures by him will glory^: but the mouth of them that speak lies will be stopped.

64:1 Hear my voice O Elohim, in my prayer^: guard my life from fear of the enemy.^64:2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the scheming of the workers of trouble^:64:3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter speeches^:64:4 That they may shoot in secret at the wholesome^: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.^64:5 They encourage themselves in a bad matter^: they commune of laying secret traps; they say, who will see them?^64:6 They search out injustice; they accomplish a diligent search^: both the inward thought of everyone of them, and the heart, is deep.^64:7 But Elohim will shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly will they be wounded.^64:8 So they will make their own tongue to fall upon themselves^: all that see them will flee away.^64:9 And all men will fear, and will declare the work of Elohim; because they will wisely consider of his undertakings.^64:10 The righteous will be glad in YHWH, and will trust in him; and all the upright in heart will shine.

65:1 Praise waits for you O Elohim, in Sion^: and to you will the Votive-Offering be completed.^65:2 O you that hear prayer, to you will all flesh come.^65:3 Depravities prevail against me^: as for our rebellions, you will cover them.^65:4 Blessed are those you elect, and cause to approach to you, that they may dwell in your courts^: we will be satisfied with the goodness of your household, even of your Holy Temple.^65:5 By terrible things in righteousness will you answer us, O Elohim of our salvation; who are the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off on the seas^:65:6 Establishing mountains by his power, he has been girded with might,^65:7 Which stills the sounds of the seas, the sounds of their waves and the roaring of the people.^65:8 They also that live in the uttermost parts are afraid at your tokens^: you make the departures of the sunrise and sunset to rejoice.^65:9 You visit the earth, and water it^: you greatly enrich it with the River of Elohim that is full of water^: you prepare them corn, when you have so provided for it.^65:10 Its ridges have been filled, deepened have been its furrow, with showers you do soften it, its springing up you bless.^65:11 You crown the year with your goodness; and your tracks drop fatness.^65:12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness^: and the little hills rejoice on every side.^65:13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.

66:1 Make a raised blast to Elohim, all you lands^:66:2 Sing out the honor of his Name^: make his praise glorious.^66:3 Say to Elohim, how terrible are you in your works! through the greatness of your power will your enemies submit themselves to you.^66:4 All the earth will worship you, and will sing to you; they will sing to your Name. Selah.^66:5 Come and see the works of Elohim^: he is reverenced in his deeds toward the children of men.^66:6 He turned around the Red Sea into dry land^: they went through the stream on foot^: there did we rejoice in him.^66:7 He rules by his power for the ages; his eyes observe the nations^: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.^66:8 O bless our Elohim, you people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard^:66:9 Who has set us among the living, and does not permit our feet to be shaken.^66:10 Because you O Elohim have examined us^: you have refined us, as silver is smelted.^66:11 You brought us into the net; you laid affliction upon our hips.^66:12 You have caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water^: but you brought us out into a full saturation.^66:13 I will go into your house with whole Burnt-Offerings^: I will pay you my Votive- Offering,^66:14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth has spoken, when I was in trouble.^66:15 I will offer to you whole Burnt-Offerings of fatlings, with the smoke of rams; I will offer cattle with goats. Selah.^66:16 Come and hear, all you that fear Elohim, and I will declare what he has done for me.^66:17 I cried to him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.^66:18 If I regard trouble in my heart, Adonai will not hear me^:66:19 But truly Elohim has heard me; he has attended to the voice of my prayer.^66:20 Blessed is Elohim, that has not turned away my prayer, nor his goodness from me.

67:1 Elohim be gracious to us and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah.^67:2 That your way may be known upon earth, your saving health among all nations.^67:3 Let the people praise you O Elohim; let all the people praise you.^67:4 O let the nations be glad and sing for joy^: because you will judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah.^67:5 Let the people praise you O Elohim; let all the people praise you.^67:6 Then will the earth yield her increase; and Elohim, even our own Elohim, will bless us.^67:7 Elohim will bless us; and all the ends of the earth will fear him.

68:1 Let Elohim arise, let his enemies be scattered^: let them also that hate him flee before him.^68:2 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away^: as wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked be exterminated at the presence of Elohim.^68:3 But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before Elohim^: yes, let them exceedingly rejoice.^68:4 Sing to Elohim, sing praises to his Name^: extol him that rides upon the cosmos by his Name YAH, and rejoice before him.^68:5 A Father of the fatherless, and a Judge of the widows, is Elohim in his Holy Habitation.^68:6 Elohim sets the solitary in families^: he brings out those that are bound with chains^: but the rebellious live in a parched land.^68:7 O Elohim, when you went out before your people, when you did march through the desert; Selah^:68:8 The earth quaked, the skies also distilled at the presence of Elohim^: even Sinai itself at the presence of Elohim, the Elohim of Israel.^68:9 You O Elohim, did send a plentiful rain, whereby you did confirm your inheritance, when it was weary.^68:10 Your community has lived there^: you O Elohim have prepared of your goodness for the poor.^68:11 Adonai gave the Word^: great was the host of those that published it.^68:12 Kings of armies did retreat^: and she that pastured at home divided the plunder.^68:13 Though you do lie between two boundaries, wings of a dove covered with silver, and her pinions with yellow gold.^68:14 When Shaddai scattered kings in it, it was as the snow in Salmon.^68:15 The Hill of Elohim is as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as the hill of Bashan.^68:16 Why leap you, you high hills? this is the hill that Elohim desires to live in; yes, YHWH will live in it unto the end.^68:17 The chariots of Elohim are 20,000, even thousands of angels^: Adonai is among them, as in Sinai, in the Holy Place.^68:18 You have ascended to the Elevated Place, you have led captivity captive^: you have received gifts for men; yes, for the rebellious also, that YHWH Elohim might live among them.^68:19 Blessed is Adonai, who daily loads us with benefits, even the Elohim of our salvation. Selah.^68:20 He that is our Elohim is the Elohim of salvation; and unto ELOHIM Adonai belongs the escape from death.^68:21 But Elohim will wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such a one as goes on still in his offenses.^68:22 Adonai said, I will return from Bashan, I will return my people by [way of] the deep seas^:68:23 That your foot may be dipped in the blood of your enemies, and the tongue of your dogs in the same.^68:24 They have seen your caravans O Elohim; even the marching of my Elohim, my King, in the Sanctuary.^68:25 The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels.^68:26 Bless Elohim in the choir, even Adonai, from the fountain of Israel.^68:27 There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah and their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.^68:28 Your Elohim has commanded your strength^: strengthen, O Elohim, what you have made for us.^68:29 Because of your Temple at Jerusalem will kings bring presents to you.^68:30 Rebuke a beast of the reeds, a company of bulls, with calves of the peoples, each humbling himself with pieces of silver, scatter you peoples delighting in conflicts.^68:31 Princes will come out of Egypt; Ethiopia will soon stretch out her hands to Elohim.^68:32 Sing to Elohim, you kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises to Adonai; Selah^:68:33 To him who is riding on the cosmos of the universe of old, lo, he gives with his Voice a strong Voice.^68:34 Ascribe you strength to Elohim^: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the cloud-mass.^68:35 O Elohim, you are terrifying out of your Holy Places^: the Elohim of Israel is he that gives strength and power to his people. Blessed is Elohim.

69:1 Save me O Elohim; because the waters are come in unto me.^69:2 I sink in deep mire, where there is no foothold^: I am come into deep waters, where the flowing stream engulfs me.^69:3 I am weary of my crying, my throat is dried^: my eyes fail while I wait for my Elohim.^69:4 They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head^: they that would destroy me, being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty^: then I restored what I did not steal.^69:5 O Elohim, you know my folly; and my sins are not hidden from you.^69:6 Let not them that wait on you, O Adonai YHWH of Hosts, be ashamed for my sake^: let not those that seek you be confounded for my sake, O Elohim of Israel.^69:7 Because for your sake I have borne taunting; shame has covered my face.^69:8 I am become a stranger to my kinship, and an alien to my mother's children.^69:9 Because the zeal of your Temple has eaten me up; and the scorn of them that taunted you are fallen upon me.^69:10 And I weep in the fasting of my appetite, and it is for a scorn to me.^69:11 I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them.^69:12 They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards.^69:13 But as for me, my prayer is to you O YHWH, in an acceptable time^: O Elohim, in the multitude of your goodness hear me, in the Truth of your salvation.^69:14 Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink^: let me be delivered from them that hate me and out of the deep waters.^69:15 Let not the waters engulf me, neither let the deep sea swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.^69:16 Hear me O YHWH; because your goodness is good^: turn to me according to the abundance of your compassions.^69:17 And hide not your presence from your slave; because I am in trouble^: hear me speedily.^69:18 Draw near to me and act as a kinsmen-redeemer^: deliver me because of my enemies.^69:19 You have known my scorn and my shame, and my dishonor^: my adversaries are all before you.^69:20 Taunting has broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness^: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.^69:21 They gave me also gall for my food; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.^69:22 Let their table become a snare before them^: and what should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.^69:23 Let their eyes be darkened so that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.^69:24 Pour out your indignation upon them, and let your nostrils burn at them.^69:25 Let their habitation be desolate; and let none live in their tents.^69:26 Because they persecute him whom you have smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom you have wounded.^69:27 Add depravity to their depravity^: and let them not enter into your righteousness.^69:28 Let them be blotted out of the Book of Life, and not be written with the righteous.^69:29 But I am poor and sorrowful^: let your salvation O Elohim, set me up on high.^69:30 I will praise the Name of Elohim with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.^69:31 This also will please YHWH better than an ox or young bull that has horns and hoofs.^69:32 The humble will see this and be glad^: and your heart will be restored who inquire [by Urim-Thummim] of Elohim.^69:33 Because YHWH hears the poor, and despises not his prisoners.^69:34 Let the cosmos and earth praise him, the seas, and everything that moves therein.^69:35 Because Elohim will save Zion, and will rebuild the cities of Judah^: that they may live there, and have it in possession.^69:36 The descendants also of his slaves will inherit it^: and they that love his Name will live therein.
