1:1 O the happiness of that one, who Hath not walked in the counsel of the wicked. And in the way of sinners hath not stood, And in the seat of scorners hath not sat;
1:2 But -- in the law of Jehovah [is] his delight, And in His law he doth meditate by day and by night:
1:3 And he hath been as a tree, Planted by rivulets of water, That giveth its fruit in its season, And its leaf doth not wither, And all that he doth he causeth to prosper.
1:4 Not so the wicked: But -- as chaff that wind driveth away!
1:5 Therefore the wicked rise not in judgment, Nor sinners in the company of the righteous,
1:6 For Jehovah is knowing the way of the righteous, And the way of the wicked is lost!
Psalms
2:1 Why have nations tumultuously assembled? And do peoples meditate vanity?
2:2 Station themselves do kings of the earth, And princes have been united together, Against Jehovah, and against His Messiah:
2:3 `Let us draw off Their cords, And cast from us Their thick bands.`
2:4 He who is sitting in the heavens doth laugh, The Lord doth mock at them.
2:5 Then doth He speak unto them in His anger, And in His wrath He doth trouble them:
2:6 `And I -- I have anointed My King, Upon Zion -- My holy hill.`
2:7 I declare concerning a statute: Jehovah said unto me, `My Son Thou [art], I to-day have brought thee forth.
2:8 Ask of Me and I give nations -- thy inheritance, And thy possession -- the ends of earth.
2:9 Thou dost rule them with a sceptre of iron, As a vessel of a potter Thou dost crush them.`
2:10 And now, O kings, act wisely, Be instructed, O judges of earth,
2:11 Serve ye Jehovah with fear, And rejoice with trembling.
2:12 Kiss the Chosen One, lest He be angry, And ye lose the way, When His anger burneth but a little, O the happiness of all trusting in Him!
Psalms
3:1 A Psalm of David, in his fleeing from the face of Absalom his son. Jehovah, how have my distresses multiplied! Many are rising up against me.

3:3 And Thou, O Jehovah, [art] a shield for me, My honour, and lifter up of my head.
3:4 My voice [is] unto Jehovah: I call: And He answereth me from his holy hill, Selah.
3:5 I -- I have lain down, and I sleep, I have waked, for Jehovah sustaineth me.
3:6 I am not afraid of myriads of people, That round about they have set against me.
3:7 Rise, O Jehovah! save me, my God. Because Thou hast smitten All mine enemies [on] the cheek. The teeth of the wicked Thou hast broken.
3:8 Of Jehovah [is] this salvation; On Thy people [is] Thy blessing! Selah.
Psalms

4:2 Sons of men! till when [is] my glory for shame? Ye love a vain thing, ye seek a lie. Selah.
4:3 And know ye that Jehovah Hath separated a saintly one to Himself. Jehovah heareth in my calling to Him.
4:4 `Tremble ye, and do not sin;` Say ye [thus] in your heart on your bed, And be ye silent. Selah.

5:2 Be attentive to the voice of my cry, My king and my God, For unto Thee I pray habitually.
5:3 Jehovah, [at] morning Thou hearest my voice, [At] morning I set in array for Thee, And I look out.
5:4 For not a God desiring wickedness [art] Thou, Evil inhabiteth Thee not.
5:5 The boastful station not themselves before Thine eyes: Thou hast hated all working iniquity.
5:6 Thou destroyest those speaking lies, A man of blood and deceit Jehovah doth abominate.
5:7 And I, in the abundance of Thy kindness, I enter Thy house, I bow myself toward Thy holy temple in Thy fear.
5:8 O Jehovah, lead me in Thy righteousness, Because of those observing me, Make straight before me Thy way,
5:9 For there is no stability in their mouth. Their heart [is] mischiefs, An open grave [is] their throat, Their tongue they make smooth.
5:10 Declare them guilty, O God, Let them fall from their own counsels, In the abundance of their transgressions Drive them away, Because they have rebelled against Thee.
5:11 And rejoice do all trusting in Thee, To the age they sing, and Thou coverest them over, And those loving Thy name exult in Thee.
5:12 For Thou blessest the righteous, O Jehovah, As a buckler with favour dost compass him!
Psalms
6:1 To the Overseer with stringed instruments, on the octave. -- A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, in Thine anger reprove me not, Nor in Thy fury chastise me.
6:2 Favour me, O Jehovah, for I [am] weak, Heal me, O Jehovah, For troubled have been my bones,
6:3 And my soul hath been troubled greatly, And Thou, O Jehovah, till when?
6:4 Turn back, O Jehovah, draw out my soul, Save me for Thy kindness` sake.
6:5 For there is not in death Thy memorial, In Sheol, who doth give thanks to Thee?
6:6 I have been weary with my sighing, I meditate through all the night [on] my bed, With my tear my couch I waste.
6:7 Old from provocation is mine eye, It is old because of all mine adversaries,
6:8 Turn from me all ye workers of iniquity, For Jehovah heard the voice of my weeping,
6:9 Jehovah hath heard my supplication, Jehovah my prayer receiveth.
6:10 Ashamed and troubled greatly are all mine enemies, They turn back -- ashamed [in] a moment!
Psalms
7:1 `The Erring One,` by David, that he sung to Jehovah concerning the words of Cush a Benjamite. O Jehovah, my God, in Thee I have trusted, Save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me.
7:2 Lest he tear as a lion my soul, Rending, and there is no deliverer.
7:3 O Jehovah, my God, if I have done this, If there is iniquity in my hands,
7:4 If I have done my well-wisher evil, And draw mine adversary without cause,
7:5 An enemy pursueth my soul, and overtaketh, And treadeth down to the earth my life, And my honour placeth in the dust. Selah.
7:6 Rise, O Jehovah, in Thine anger, Be lifted up at the wrath of mine adversaries, And awake Thou for me: Judgment Thou hast commanded:
7:7 And a company of peoples compass Thee, And over it on high turn Thou back,
7:8 Jehovah doth judge the peoples; Judge me, O Jehovah, According to my righteousness, And according to mine integrity on me,
7:9 Let, I pray Thee be ended the evil of the wicked, And establish Thou the righteous, And a trier of hearts and reins is the righteous God.
7:10 My shield [is] on God, Saviour of the upright in heart!
7:11 God [is] a righteous judge, And He is not angry at all times.
7:12 If [one] turn not, His sword he sharpeneth, His bow he hath trodden -- He prepareth it,
7:13 Yea, for him He hath prepared Instruments of death, His arrows for burning pursuers He maketh.
7:14 Lo, he travaileth [with] iniquity, And he hath conceived perverseness, And hath brought forth falsehood.
7:15 A pit he hath prepared, and he diggeth it, And he falleth into a ditch he maketh.
7:16 Return doth his perverseness on his head, And on his crown his violence cometh down.
7:17 I thank Jehovah, According to His righteousness, And praise the name of Jehovah Most High!
Psalms
8:1 To the Overseer, `On the Gittith.` A Psalm of David. Jehovah, our Lord, How honourable Thy name in all the earth! Who settest thine honour on the heavens.
8:2 From the mouths of infants and sucklings Thou hast founded strength, Because of Thine adversaries, To still an enemy and a self-avenger.
8:3 For I see Thy heavens, a work of Thy fingers, Moon and stars that Thou didst establish.
8:4 What [is] man that Thou rememberest him? The son of man that Thou inspectest him?
8:5 And causest him to lack a little of Godhead, And with honour and majesty compassest him.
8:6 Thou dost cause him to rule Over the works of Thy hands, All Thou hast placed under his feet.
8:7 Sheep and oxen, all of them, And also beasts of the field,
8:8 Bird of the heavens, and fish of the sea, Passing through the paths of the seas!
8:9 Jehovah, our Lord, How honourable Thy name in all the earth!
Psalms
9:1 To the Overseer, `On the Death of Labben.` -- A Psalm of David. I confess, O Jehovah, with all my heart, I recount all Thy wonders,
9:2 I rejoice and exult in Thee, I praise Thy Name, O Most High.
9:3 In mine enemies turning backward, they stumble and perish from Thy face.
9:4 For Thou hast done my judgment and my right. Thou hast sat on a throne, A judge of righteousness.
9:5 Thou hast rebuked nations, Thou hast destroyed the wicked, Their name Thou hast blotted out to the age and for ever.
9:6 O thou Enemy, Finished have been destructions for ever, As to cities thou hast plucked up, Perished hath their memorial with them.
9:7 And Jehovah to the age abideth, He is preparing for judgment His throne.
9:8 And He judgeth the world in righteousness, He judgeth the peoples in uprightness.
9:9 And Jehovah is a tower for the bruised, A tower for times of adversity.
9:10 They trust in Thee who do know Thy name, For Thou hast not forsaken Those seeking Thee, O Jehovah.
9:11 Sing ye praise to Jehovah, inhabiting Zion, Declare ye among the peoples His acts,
9:12 For He who is seeking for blood Them hath remembered, He hath not forgotten the cry of the afflicted.
9:13 Favour me, O Jehovah, See mine affliction by those hating me, Thou who liftest me up from the gates of death,
9:14 So that I recount all Thy praise, In the gates of the daughter of Zion. I rejoice on Thy salvation.
9:15 Sunk have nations in a pit they made, In a net that they hid hath their foot been captured.
9:16 Jehovah hath been known, Judgment He hath done, By a work of his hands Hath the wicked been snared. Meditation. Selah.
9:17 The wicked do turn back to Sheol, All nations forgetting God.
9:18 For not for ever is the needy forgotten, The hope of the humble lost to the age.
9:19 Rise, O Jehovah, let not man be strong, Let nations be judged before Thy face.
9:20 Appoint, O Jehovah, a director to them, Let nations know they [are] men! Selah.
Psalms
10:1 Why, Jehovah, dost Thou stand at a distance? Thou dost hide in times of adversity,
10:2 Through the pride of the wicked, Is the poor inflamed, They are caught in devices that they devised.
10:3 Because the wicked hath boasted Of the desire of his soul, And a dishonest gainer he hath blessed, He hath despised Jehovah.
10:4 The wicked according to the height of his face, inquireth not. `God is not!` [are] all his devices.
10:5 Pain do his ways at all times, On high [are] Thy judgments before him, All his adversaries -- he puffeth at them.
10:6 He hath said in his heart, `I am not moved,` To generation and generation not in evil.
10:7 Of oaths his mouth is full, And deceits, and fraud: Under his tongue [is] perverseness and iniquity,
10:8 He doth sit in an ambush of the villages, In secret places he doth slay the innocent. His eyes for the afflicted watch secretly,
10:9 He lieth in wait in a secret place, as a lion in a covert. He lieth in wait to catch the poor, He catcheth the poor, drawing him into his net.
10:10 He is bruised -- he boweth down, Fallen by his mighty ones hath the afflicted.
10:11 He said in his heart, `God hath forgotten, He hath hid His face, He hath never seen.`
10:12 Arise, O Jehovah! O God, lift up Thy hand! Forget not the humble.
10:13 Wherefore hath the wicked despised God? He hath said in his heart, `It is not required.`
10:14 Thou hast seen, For Thou perverseness and anger beholdest; By giving into Thy hand, On Thee doth the afflicted leave [it], Of the fatherless Thou hast been an helper.
10:15 Break the arm of the wicked and the evil, Seek out his wickedness, find none;
10:16 Jehovah [is] king to the age, and for ever, The nations have perished out of His land!
10:17 The desire of the humble Thou hast heard, O Jehovah. Thou preparest their heart; Thou causest Thine ear to attend,
10:18 To judge the fatherless and bruised: He addeth no more to oppress -- man of the earth!
Psalms
11:1 To the Overseer. -- By David. In Jehovah I trusted, how say ye to my soul, `They moved [to] Thy mountain for the bird?
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 When the foundations are destroyed, The righteous -- what hath he done?
11:4 `Jehovah [is] in his holy temple: Jehovah -- in the heavens [is] His throne. His eyes see -- His eyelids try the sons of men.
11:5 Jehovah the righteous doth try. And the wicked and the lover of violence, Hath His soul hated,
11:6 He poureth on the wicked snares, fire, and brimstone, And a horrible wind [is] the portion of their cup.
11:7 For righteous [is] Jehovah, Righteousness He hath loved, The upright doth His countenance see!`
Psalms
12:1 To the Overseer, on the octave. -- A Psalm of David. Save, Jehovah, for the saintly hath failed, For the stedfast have ceased From the sons of men:
12:2 Vanity they speak each with his neighbour, Lip of flattery! With heart and heart they speak.
12:3 Jehovah doth cut off all lips of flattery, A tongue speaking great things,
12:4 Who said, `By our tongue we do mightily: Our lips [are] our own; who [is] lord over us?`
12:5 Because of the spoiling of the poor, Because of the groaning of the needy, Now do I arise, saith Jehovah, I set in safety [him who] doth breathe for it.
12:6 Sayings of Jehovah [are] pure sayings; Silver tried in a furnace of earth refined sevenfold.
12:7 Thou, O Jehovah, dost preserve them, Thou keepest us from this generation to the age.
12:8 Around the wicked walk continually, According as vileness is exalted by sons of men!
Psalms
13:1 To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. Till when, O Jehovah, Dost Thou forget me? -- for ever? Till when dost Thou hide Thy face from me?
13:2 Till when do I set counsels in my soul? Sorrow inn my heart daily? Till when is mine enemy exalted over me?
13:3 Look attentively; Answer me, O Jehovah, my God, Enlighten mine eyes, lest I sleep in death,
13:4 Lest mine enemy say, `I overcame him,` Mine adversaries joy when I am moved.
13:5 And I, in Thy kindness I have trusted, Rejoice doth my heart in Thy salvation.
13:6 I do sing to Jehovah, For He hath conferred benefits upon me!
Psalms
14:1 To the Overseer. -- By David. A fool hath said in his heart, `God is not;` They have done corruptly, They have done abominable actions, There is not a doer of good.
14:2 Jehovah from the heavens Hath looked on the sons of men, To see if there is a wise one -- seeking God.
14:3 The whole have turned aside, Together they have been filthy: There is not a doer of good, not even one.
14:4 Have all working iniquity not known? Those consuming my people have eaten bread, Jehovah they have not called.
14:5 There they have feared a fear, For God [is] in the generation of the righteous.
14:6 The counsel of the poor ye cause to stink, Because Jehovah [is] his refuge.
14:7 `Who doth give from Zion the salvation of Israel? When Jehovah doth turn back [To] a captivity of His people, Jacob doth rejoice -- Israel is glad!
Psalms
15:1 A Psalm of David. Jehovah, who doth sojourn in Thy tent? Who doth dwell in Thy holy hill?
15:2 He who is walking uprightly, And working righteousness, And speaking truth in his heart.
15:3 He hath not slandered by his tongue, He hath not done to his friend evil; And reproach he hath not lifted up Against his neighbour.
15:4 Despised in his eyes [is] a rejected one, And those fearing Jehovah he doth honour. He hath sworn to suffer evil, and changeth not;
15:5 His silver he hath not given in usury, And a bribe against the innocent Hath not taken; Whoso is doing these is not moved to the age!
Psalms
16:1 A Secret Treasure of David. Preserve me, O God, for I did trust in Thee.
16:2 Thou hast said to Jehovah, `My Lord Thou [art];` My good [is] not for thine own sake;
16:3 For the holy ones who [are] in the land, And the honourable, all my delight [is] in them.
16:4 Multiplied are their griefs, [Who] have hastened backward; I pour not out their libations of blood, Nor do I take up their names on my lips.
16:5 Jehovah [is] the portion of my share, and of my cup, Thou -- Thou dost uphold my lot.
16:6 Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Yea, a beauteous inheritance [is] for me.
16:7 I bless Jehovah who hath counselled me; Also [in] the nights my reins instruct me.
16:8 I did place Jehovah before me continually, Because -- at my right hand I am not moved.
16:9 Therefore hath my heart been glad, And my honour doth rejoice, Also my flesh dwelleth confidently:
16:10 For Thou dost not leave my soul to Sheol, Nor givest thy saintly one to see corruption.
16:11 Thou causest me to know the path of life; Fulness of joys [is] with Thy presence, Pleasant things by Thy right hand for ever!
Psalms
17:1 A Prayer of David. Hear, O Jehovah, righteousness, attend my cry, Give ear [to] my prayer, without lips of deceit.
17:2 From before thee my judgment doth go out; Thine eyes do see uprightly.
17:3 Thou hast proved my heart, Thou hast inspected by night, Thou hast tried me, Thou findest nothing; My thoughts pass not over my mouth.
17:4 As to doings of man, Through a word of Thy lips I have observed The paths of a destroyer;
17:5 To uphold my goings in Thy paths, My steps have not slidden.
17:6 I -- I called Thee, for Thou dost answer me, O God, incline Thine ear to me, hear my speech.
17:7 Separate wonderfully Thy kindness, O Saviour of the confiding, By Thy right hand, from withstanders.
17:8 Keep me as the apple, the daughter of the eye; In shadow of Thy wings thou dost hide me.
17:9 From the face of the wicked who spoiled me. Mine enemies in soul go round against me.
17:10 Their fat they have closed up, Their mouths have spoken with pride:
17:11 `Our steps now have compassed [him];` Their eyes they set to turn aside in the land.
17:12 His likeness as a lion desirous to tear, As a young lion dwelling in secret places.
17:13 Arise, O Jehovah, go before his face, Cause him to bend. Deliver my soul from the wicked, Thy sword,
17:14 From men, Thy hand, O Jehovah, From men of the world, their portion [is] in life, And [with] Thy hidden things Thou fillest their belly, They are satisfied [with] sons; And have left their abundance to their sucklings.
17:15 I -- in righteousness, I see Thy face; I am satisfied, in awaking, [with] Thy form!
Psalms
18:1 To the Overseer. -- By a servant of Jehovah, by David, who hath spoken to Jehovah the words of this song in the day Jehovah delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul, and he saith: -- I love Thee, O Jehovah, my strength.
18:2 Jehovah [is] my rock, and my bulwark, And my deliverer, My God [is] my rock, I trust in Him: My shield, and a horn of my salvation, My high tower.
18:3 The `Praised One` I call Jehovah, And from my enemies I am saved.
18:4 Compassed me have cords of death, And streams of the worthless make me afraid.
18:5 Cords of Sheol have surrounded me, Before me have been snares of death.
18:6 In mine adversity I call Jehovah, And unto my God I cry. He heareth from His temple my voice, And My cry before Him cometh into His ears.
18:7 And shake and tremble doth the earth, And foundations of hills are troubled, And they shake -- because He hath wrath.
18:8 Gone up hath smoke by His nostrils, And fire from His mouth consumeth, Coals have been kindled by it.
18:9 And He inclineth the heavens, and cometh down, And thick darkness [is] under His feet.
18:10 And He rideth on a cherub, and doth fly, And He flieth on wings of wind.
18:11 He maketh darkness His secret place, Round about Him His tabernacle, Darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
18:12 From the brightness over-against Him His thick clouds have passed on, Hail and coals of fire.
18:13 And thunder in the heavens doth Jehovah, And the Most High giveth forth His voice, Hail and coals of fire.
18:14 And He sendeth His arrows and scattereth them, And much lightning, and crusheth them.
18:15 And seen are the streams of waters, And revealed are foundations of the earth. From Thy rebuke, O Jehovah, From the breath of the spirit of Thine anger.
18:16 He sendeth from above -- He taketh me, He draweth me out of many waters.
18:17 He delivereth me from my strong enemy, And from those hating me, For they have been stronger than I.
18:18 They go before me in a day of my calamity And Jehovah is for a support to me.
18:19 And He bringeth me forth to a large place, He draweth me out, because He delighted in me.
18:20 Jehovah doth recompense me According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, He doth return to me.
18:21 For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not done wickedly against my God.
18:22 For all His judgments [are] before me, And His statutes I turn not from me.
18:23 And I am perfect with him, And I keep myself from mine iniquity.
18:24 And Jehovah doth return to me, According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, Over-against his eyes.
18:25 With the kind Thou showest Thyself kind, With a perfect man showest Thyself perfect.
18:26 With the pure Thou showest Thyself pure, And with the perverse showest Thyself a wrestler,
18:27 For Thou a poor people savest, And the eyes of the high causest to fall.
18:28 For Thou -- Thou lightest my lamp, Jehovah my God enlighteneth my darkness.
18:29 For by Thee I run -- a troop! And by my God I leap a wall.
18:30 God! perfect [is] His way, The saying of Jehovah is tried, A shield [is] He to all those trusting in Him.
18:31 For who [is] God besides Jehovah? And who [is] a rock save our God?
18:32 God! who is girding me [with] strength, And He maketh perfect my way.
18:33 Making my feet like hinds, And on my high places causeth me to stand.
18:34 Teaching my hands for battle, And a bow of brass was brought down by my arms.
18:35 And Thou givest to me the shield of Thy salvation, And Thy right hand doth support me, And Thy lowliness maketh me great.
18:36 Thou enlargest my step under me, And mine ankles have not slidden.
18:37 I pursue mine enemies, and overtake them, And turn back not till they are consumed.
18:38 I smite them, and they are not able to rise, They fall under my feet,
18:39 And Thou girdest me [with] strength for battle, Causest my withstanders to bow under me.
18:40 As to mine enemies -- Thou hast given to me the neck, As to those hating me -- I cut them off.
18:41 They cry, and there is no saviour, On Jehovah, and He doth not answer them.
18:42 And I beat them as dust before wind, As mire of the streets I empty them out.
18:43 Thou dost deliver me From the strivings of the people, Thou placest me for a head of nations, A people I have not known do serve me.
18:44 At the hearing of the ear they hearken to me, Sons of a stranger feign obedience to me,
18:45 Sons of a stranger fade away, And are slain out of their close places.
18:46 Jehovah liveth -- and blessed [is] my rock, And exalted is the God of my salvation.
18:47 God -- who is giving vengeance to me, And He subdueth peoples under me,
18:48 My deliverer from mine enemies, Above my withstanders Thou raisest me, From a man of violence dost deliver me.
18:49 Therefore I confess Thee among nations, O Jehovah, And to Thy name I sing praise,
18:50 Magnifying the salvation of His king, And doing kindness to His anointed, To David, and to his seed -- unto the age!
Psalms
19:1 To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. The heavens [are] recounting the honour of God, And the work of His hands The expanse [is] declaring.
19:2 Day to day uttereth speech, And night to night sheweth knowledge.
19:3 There is no speech, and there are no words. Their voice hath not been heard.
19:4 Into all the earth hath their line gone forth, And to the end of the world their sayings, For the sun He placed a tent in them,
19:5 And he, as a bridegroom, goeth out from his covering, He rejoiceth as a mighty one To run the path.
19:6 From the end of the heavens [is] his going out, And his revolution [is] unto their ends, And nothing is hid from his heat.
19:7 The law of Jehovah [is] perfect, refreshing the soul, The testimonies of Jehovah [are] stedfast, Making wise the simple,
19:8 The precepts of Jehovah [are] upright, Rejoicing the heart, The command of Jehovah [is] pure, enlightening the eyes,
19:9 The fear of Jehovah [is] clean, standing to the age, The judgments of Jehovah [are] true, They have been righteous -- together.
19:10 They are more desirable than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey, Even liquid honey of the comb.
19:11 Also -- Thy servant is warned by them, `In keeping them [is] a great reward.`
19:12 Errors! who doth understand? From hidden ones declare me innocent,
19:13 Also -- from presumptuous ones keep back Thy servant, Let them not rule over me, Then am I perfect, And declared innocent of much transgression,
19:14 Let the sayings of my mouth, And the meditation of my heart, Be for a pleasing thing before Thee, O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer!
Psalms
20:1 To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. Jehovah doth answer thee, In a day of adversity, The name of the God of Jacob doth set thee on high,
20:2 He doth send thy help from the sanctuary, And from Zion doth support thee,
20:3 He doth remember all thy presents, And thy burnt-offering doth reduce to ashes. Selah.
20:4 He doth give to thee according to thy heart, And all thy counsel doth fulfil.
20:5 We sing of thy salvation, And in the name of our God set up a banner. Jehovah doth fulfil all thy requests.
20:6 Now I have known That Jehovah hath saved His anointed, He answereth him from His holy heavens, With the saving might of His right hand.
20:7 Some of chariots, and some of horses, And we of the name of Jehovah our God Make mention.
20:8 They -- they have bowed and have fallen, And we have risen and station ourselves upright.
20:9 O Jehovah, save the king, He doth answer us in the day we call!
Psalms
21:1 To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. Jehovah, in Thy strength is the king joyful, In Thy salvation how greatly he rejoiceth.
21:2 The desire of his heart Thou gavest to him, And the request of his lips Thou hast not withheld. Selah.
21:3 For Thou puttest before him blessings of goodness, Thou settest on his head a crown of fine gold.
21:4 Life he hath asked from Thee, Thou hast given to him -- length of days, Age-during -- and for ever.
21:5 Great [is] his honour in Thy salvation, Honour and majesty Thou placest on him.
21:6 For Thou makest him blessings for ever, Thou dost cause him to rejoice with joy, By Thy countenance.
21:7 For the king is trusting in Jehovah, And in the kindness of the Most High He is not moved.
21:8 Thy hand cometh to all Thine enemies, Thy right hand doth find Thy haters.
21:9 Thou makest them as a furnace of fire, At the time of Thy presence. Jehovah in His anger doth swallow them, And fire doth devour them.
21:10 Their fruit from earth Thou destroyest, And their seed from the sons of men.
21:11 For they stretched out against Thee evil, They devised a wicked device, they prevail not,
21:12 For Thou makest them a butt, When Thy strings Thou preparest against their faces.
21:13 Be Thou exalted, O Jehovah in, Thy strength, We sing and we praise Thy might!
Psalms
22:1 To the Overseer, on `The Hind of the Morning.` -- A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me? Far from my salvation, The words of my roaring?
22:2 My God, I call by day, and Thou answerest not, And by night, and there is no silence to me.
22:3 And Thou [art] holy, Sitting -- the Praise of Israel.
22:4 In Thee did our fathers trust -- they trusted, And Thou dost deliver them.
22:5 Unto Thee they cried, and were delivered, In Thee they trusted, and were not ashamed.
22:6 And I [am] a worm, and no man, A reproach of man, and despised of the people.
22:7 All beholding me do mock at me, They make free with the lip -- shake the head,
22:8 `Roll unto Jehovah, He doth deliver him, He doth deliver him, for he delighted in him.`
22:9 For thou [art] He bringing me forth from the womb, Causing me to trust, On the breasts of my mother.
22:10 On Thee I have been cast from the womb, From the belly of my mother Thou [art] my God.
22:11 Be not far from me, For adversity is near, for there is no helper.
22:12 Many bulls have surrounded me, Mighty ones of Bashan have compassed me,
22:13 They have opened against me their mouth, A lion tearing and roaring.
22:14 As waters I have been poured out, And separated themselves have all my bones, My heart hath been like wax, It is melted in the midst of my bowels.
22:15 Dried up as an earthen vessel is my power, And my tongue is cleaving to my jaws.
22:16 And to the dust of death thou appointest me, For surrounded me have dogs, A company of evil doers have compassed me, Piercing my hands and my feet.
22:17 I count all my bones -- they look expectingly, They look upon me,
22:18 They apportion my garments to themselves, And for my clothing they cause a lot to fall.
22:19 And Thou, O Jehovah, be not far off, O my strength, to help me haste.
22:20 Deliver from the sword my soul, From the paw of a dog mine only one.
22:21 Save me from the mouth of a lion: -- And -- from the horns of the high places Thou hast answered me!
22:22 I declare Thy name to my brethren, In the midst of the assembly I praise Thee.
22:23 Ye who fear Jehovah, praise ye Him, All the seed of Jacob, honour ye Him, And be afraid of Him, all ye seed of Israel.
22:24 For He hath not despised, nor abominated, The affliction of the afflicted, Nor hath He hidden His face from him, And in his crying unto Him He heareth.
22:25 Of Thee my praise [is] in the great assembly. My vows I complete before His fearers.
22:26 The humble do eat and are satisfied, Praise Jehovah do those seeking Him, Your heart doth live for ever.
22:27 Remember and return unto Jehovah, Do all ends of the earth, And before Thee bow themselves, Do all families of the nations,
22:28 For to Jehovah [is] the kingdom, And He is ruling among nations.
22:29 And the fat ones of earth have eaten, And they bow themselves, Before Him bow do all going down to dust, And he [who] hath not revived his soul.
22:30 A seed doth serve Him, It is declared of the Lord to the generation.
22:31 They come and declare His righteousness, To a people that is borne, that He hath made!
Psalms
23:1 A Psalm of David. Jehovah [is] my shepherd, I do not lack,
23:2 In pastures of tender grass He causeth me to lie down, By quiet waters He doth lead me.
23:3 My soul He refresheth, He leadeth me in paths of righteousness, For His name`s sake,
23:4 Also -- when I walk in a valley of death-shade, I fear no evil, for Thou [art] with me, Thy rod and Thy staff -- they comfort me.
23:5 Thou arrangest before me a table, Over-against my adversaries, Thou hast anointed with oil my head, My cup is full!
23:6 Only -- goodness and kindness pursue me, All the days of my life, And my dwelling [is] in the house of Jehovah, For a length of days!
Psalms
24:1 A Psalm of David. To Jehovah [is] the earth and its fulness, The world and the inhabitants in it.
24:2 For He on the seas hath founded it, And on the floods He doth establish it.
24:3 Who goeth up into the hill of Jehovah? And who riseth up in His holy place?
24:4 The clean of hands, and pure of heart, Who hath not lifted up to vanity his soul, Nor hath sworn to deceit.
24:5 He beareth away a blessing from Jehovah, Righteousness from the God of his salvation.
24:6 This [is] a generation of those seeking Him. Seeking Thy face, O Jacob! Selah.
24:7 Lift up, O gates, your heads, And be lifted up, O doors age-during, And come in doth the king of glory!
24:8 Who [is] this -- `the king of glory?` Jehovah -- strong and mighty, Jehovah, the mighty in battle.
24:9 Lift up, O gates, your heads, And be lifted up, O doors age-during, And come in doth the king of glory!
24:10 Who [is] He -- this `king of glory?` Jehovah of hosts -- He [is] the king of glory! Selah.
Psalms
25:1 By David. Unto Thee, O Jehovah, my soul I lift up.
25:2 My God, in Thee I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed, Let not mine enemies exult over me.
25:3 Also let none waiting on Thee be ashamed, Let the treacherous dealers without cause be ashamed.
25:4 Thy ways, O Jehovah, cause me to know, Thy paths teach Thou me.
25:5 Cause me to tread in Thy truth, and teach me, For Thou [art] the God of my salvation, Near Thee I have waited all the day.
25:6 Remember Thy mercies, O Jehovah, And Thy kindnesses, for from the age [are] they.
25:7 Sins of my youth, and my transgressions, Do not Thou remember. According to Thy kindness be mindful of me, For Thy goodness` sake, O Jehovah.
25:8 Good and upright [is] Jehovah, Therefore He directeth sinners in the way.
25:9 He causeth the humble to tread in judgment, And teacheth the humble His way.
25:10 All the paths of Jehovah [are] kindness and truth, To those keeping His covenant, And His testimonies.
25:11 For Thy name`s sake, O Jehovah, Thou hast pardoned mine iniquity, for it [is] great.
25:12 Who [is] this -- the man fearing Jehovah? He directeth him in the way He doth choose.
25:13 His soul in good doth remain, And his seed doth possess the land.
25:14 The secret of Jehovah [is] for those fearing Him, And His covenant -- to cause them to know.
25:15 Mine eyes [are] continually unto Jehovah, For He bringeth out from a net my feet.
25:16 Turn Thou unto me, and favour me, For lonely and afflicted [am] I.
25:17 The distresses of my heart have enlarged themselves, From my distresses bring me out.
25:18 See mine affliction and my misery, And bear with all my sins.
25:19 See my enemies, for they have been many, And with violent hatred they have hated me.
25:20 Keep my soul, and deliver me, Let me not be ashamed, for I trusted in Thee.
25:21 Integrity and uprightness do keep me, For I have waited [on] Thee.
25:22 Redeem Israel, O God, from all his distresses!
Psalms
26:1 By David. Judge me, O Jehovah, for I in mine integrity have walked, And in Jehovah I have trusted, I slide not.
26:2 Try me, O Jehovah, and prove me, Purified [are] my reins and my heart.
26:3 For Thy kindness [is] before mine eyes, And I have walked habitually in Thy truth.
26:4 I have not sat with vain men, And with dissemblers I enter not.
26:5 I have hated the assembly of evil doers, And with the wicked I sit not.
26:6 I wash in innocency my hands, And I compass Thine altar, O Jehovah.
26:7 To sound with a voice of confession, And to recount all Thy wonders.
26:8 Jehovah, I have loved the habitation of Thy house, And the place of the tabernacle of Thine honour.
26:9 Do not gather with sinners my soul, And with men of blood my life,
26:10 In whose hand [is] a wicked device, And their right hand [is] full of bribes.
26:11 And I, in mine integrity I walk, Redeem me, and favour me.
26:12 My foot hath stood in uprightness, In assemblies I bless Jehovah!
Psalms
27:1 By David. Jehovah [is] my light and my salvation, Whom do I fear? Jehovah [is] the strength of my life, Of whom am I afraid?
27:2 When evil doers come near to me to eat my flesh, My adversaries and mine enemies to me, They have stumbled and fallen.
27:3 Though a host doth encamp against me, My heart doth not fear, Though war riseth up against me, In this I [am] confident.
27:4 One [thing] I asked of Jehovah -- it I seek. My dwelling in the house of Jehovah, All the days of my life, To look on the pleasantness of Jehovah, And to inquire in His temple.
27:5 For He hideth me in a tabernacle in the day of evil, He hideth me in a secret place of His tent, On a rock he raiseth me up.
27:6 And now, lifted up is my head, Above my enemies -- my surrounders, And I sacrifice in His tent sacrifices of shouting, I sing, yea, I sing praise to Jehovah.
27:7 Hear, O Jehovah, my voice -- I call, And favour me, and answer me.
27:8 To Thee said my heart `They sought my face, Thy face, O Jehovah, I seek.`
27:9 Hide not Thy face from me, Turn not aside in anger Thy servant, My help Thou hast been. Leave me not, nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.
27:10 When my father and my mother Have forsaken me, then doth Jehovah gather me.
27:11 Shew me, O Jehovah, Thy way, And lead me in a path of uprightness, For the sake of my beholders.
27:12 Give me not to the will of my adversaries, For risen against me have false witnesses, And they breathe out violence to me.
27:13 I had not believed to look on the goodness of Jehovah In the land of the living!
27:14 Look unto Jehovah -- be strong, And He doth strengthen thy heart, Yea, look unto Jehovah!
Psalms
28:1 By David. Unto Thee, O Jehovah, I call, My rock, be not silent to me! Lest Thou be silent to me, And I have been compared With those going down to the pit.
28:2 Hear the voice of my supplications, In my crying unto Thee, In my lifting up my hands toward thy holy oracle.
28:3 Draw me not with the wicked, And with workers of iniquity, Speaking peace with their neighbours, And evil in their heart.
28:4 Give to them according to their acting, And according to the evil of their doings. According to the work of their hands give to them. Return their deed to them.
28:5 For they attend not to the doing of Jehovah, And unto the work of His hands. He throweth them down, And doth not build them up.
28:6 Blessed [is] Jehovah, For He hath heard the voice of my supplications.
28:7 Jehovah [is] my strength, and my shield, In Him my heart trusted, and I have been helped. And my heart exulteth, And with my song I thank Him.
28:8 Jehovah [is] strength to him, Yea, the strength of the salvation of His anointed [is] He.
28:9 Save Thy people, and bless Thine inheritance, And feed them, and carry them to the age!
Psalms
29:1 A Psalm of David. Ascribe to Jehovah, ye sons of the mighty, Ascribe to Jehovah honour and strength.
29:2 Ascribe to Jehovah the honour of His name, Bow yourselves to Jehovah, In the beauty of holiness.
29:3 The voice of Jehovah [is] on the waters, The God of glory hath thundered, Jehovah [is] on many waters.
29:4 The voice of Jehovah [is] with power, The voice of Jehovah [is] with majesty,
29:5 The voice of Jehovah [is] shivering cedars, Yea, Jehovah shivers the cedars of Lebanon.
29:6 And He causeth them to skip as a calf, Lebanon and Sirion as a son of Reems,
29:7 The voice of Jehovah is hewing fiery flames,
29:8 The voice of Jehovah paineth a wilderness, Jehovah paineth the wilderness of Kadesh.
29:9 The voice of Jehovah paineth the oaks, And maketh bare the forests, And in His temple every one saith, `Glory.`
29:10 Jehovah on the deluge hath sat, And Jehovah sitteth king -- to the age,
29:11 Jehovah strength to his people giveth, Jehovah blesseth His people with peace!
Psalms
30:1 A Psalm. -- A song of the dedication of the house of David. I exalt Thee, O Jehovah, For Thou hast drawn me up, and hast not let mine enemies rejoice over me.
30:2 Jehovah my God, I have cried to Thee, And Thou dost heal me.
30:3 Jehovah, Thou hast brought up from Sheol my soul, Thou hast kept me alive, From going down [to] the pit.
30:4 Sing praise to Jehovah, ye His saints, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness,
30:5 For -- a moment [is] in His anger, Life [is] in His good-will, At even remaineth weeping, and at morn singing.
30:6 And I -- I have said in mine ease, `I am not moved -- to the age.
30:7 O Jehovah, in Thy good pleasure, Thou hast caused strength to remain for my mountain,` Thou hast hidden Thy face -- I have been troubled.
30:8 Unto Thee, O Jehovah, I call, And unto Jehovah I make supplication.
30:9 `What gain [is] in my blood? In my going down unto corruption? Doth dust thank Thee? doth it declare Thy truth?
30:10 Hear, O Jehovah, and favour me, O Jehovah, be a helper to me.`
30:11 Thou hast turned my mourning to dancing for me, Thou hast loosed my sackcloth, And girdest me [with] joy.
30:12 So that honour doth praise Thee, and is not silent, O Jehovah, my God, to the age I thank Thee!
Psalms
31:1 To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. In Thee, O Jehovah, I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed to the age, In Thy righteousness deliver me.
31:2 Incline unto me Thine ear hastily, deliver me, Be to me for a strong rock, For a house of bulwarks to save me.
31:3 For my rock and my bulwark [art] Thou, For Thy name`s sake lead me and tend me.
31:4 Bring me out from the net that they hid for me, For Thou [art] my strength.
31:5 Into Thy hand I commit my spirit, Thou hast redeemed me, Jehovah God of truth.
31:6 I have hated the observers of lying vanities, And I toward Jehovah have been confident.
31:7 I rejoice, and am glad in Thy kindness, In that Thou hast seen mine affliction, Thou hast known in adversities my soul.
31:8 And Thou hast not shut me up, Into the hand of an enemy, Thou hast caused my feet to stand in a broad place.
31:9 Favour me, O Jehovah, for distress [is] to me, Mine eye, my soul, and my body Have become old by provocation.
31:10 For my life hath been consumed in sorrow And my years in sighing. Feeble because of mine iniquity hath been my strength, And my bones have become old.
31:11 Among all mine adversaries I have been a reproach, And to my neighbours exceedingly, And a fear to mine acquaintances, Those seeing me without -- fled from me.
31:12 I have been forgotten as dead out of mind, I have been as a perishing vessel.
31:13 For I have heard an evil account of many, Fear [is] round about. In their being united against me, To take my life they have devised,
31:14 And I on Thee -- I have trusted, O Jehovah, I have said, `Thou [art] my God.`
31:15 In Thy hand [are] my times, Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, And from my pursuers.
31:16 Cause Thy face to shine on Thy servant, Save me in Thy kindness.
31:17 O Jehovah, let me not be ashamed, For I have called Thee, let the wicked be ashamed, Let them become silent to Sheol.
31:18 Let lips of falsehood become dumb, That are speaking against the righteous, Ancient sayings, in pride and contempt.
31:19 How abundant is Thy goodness, That Thou hast laid up for those fearing Thee,
31:20 Thou hast wrought for those trusting in Thee, Before sons of men. Thou hidest them in the secret place of Thy presence, From artifices of man, Thou concealest them in a tabernacle, From the strife of tongues.
31:21 Blessed [is] Jehovah, For He hath made marvellous His kindness To me in a city of bulwarks.
31:22 And I -- I have said in my haste, `I have been cut off from before Thine eyes,` But Thou hast heard the voice of my supplications, In my crying unto Thee.
31:23 Love Jehovah, all ye His saints, Jehovah is keeping the faithful, And recompensing abundantly a proud doer.
31:24 Be strong, and He strengtheneth your heart, All ye who are waiting for Jehovah!
Psalms
32:1 By David. -- An Instruction. O the happiness of him whose transgression [is] forgiven, Whose sin is covered.
32:2 O the happiness of a man, To whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit.
32:3 When I have kept silence, become old have my bones, Through my roaring all the day.
32:4 When by day and by night Thy hand is heavy upon me, My moisture hath been changed Into the droughts of summer. Selah.
32:5 My sin I cause Thee to know, And mine iniquity I have not covered. I have said, `I confess concerning My transgressions to Jehovah,` And Thou -- Thou hast taken away, The iniquity of my sin. Selah.
32:6 For this doth every saintly one pray to Thee, As the time to find. Surely at an overflowing of many waters, Unto him they come not.
32:7 Thou [art] a hiding-place for me, From distress Thou dost keep me, [With] songs of deliverance dost compass me. Selah.
32:8 I cause thee to act wisely, And direct thee in the way that thou goest, I cause mine eye to take counsel concerning thee.
32:9 Be ye not as a horse -- as a mule, Without understanding, With bridle and bit, its ornaments, to curb, Not to come near unto thee.
32:10 Many [are] the pains of the wicked; As to him who is trusting in Jehovah, Kindness doth compass him.
32:11 Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, ye righteous, And sing, all ye upright of heart!
Psalms
33:1 Sing, ye righteous, in Jehovah, For upright ones praise [is] comely.
33:2 Give ye thanks to Jehovah with a harp, With psaltery of ten strings sing praise to Him,
33:3 Sing ye to Him a new song, Play skilfully with shouting.
33:4 For upright [is] the word of Jehovah, And all His work [is] in faithfulness.
33:5 Loving righteousness and judgment, Of the kindness of Jehovah is the earth full.
33:6 By the word of Jehovah The heavens have been made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host.
33:7 Gathering as a heap the waters of the sea, Putting in treasuries the depths.
33:8 Afraid of Jehovah are all the earth, Of Him are all the inhabitants of the world afraid.
33:9 For He hath said, and it is, He hath commanded, and it standeth.
33:10 Jehovah made void the counsel of nations, He disallowed the thoughts of the peoples.
33:11 The counsel of Jehovah to the age standeth, The thoughts of His heart to all generations.
33:12 O the happiness of the nation whose God [is] Jehovah, Of the people He did choose, For an inheritance to Him.
33:13 From the heavens hath Jehovah looked, He hath seen all the sons of men.
33:14 From the fixed place of His dwelling, He looked unto all inhabitants of the earth;
33:15 Who is forming their hearts together, Who is attending unto all their works.
33:16 The king is not saved by the multitude of a force. A mighty man is not delivered, By abundance of power.
33:17 A false thing [is] the horse for safety, And by the abundance of his strength He doth not deliver.
33:18 Lo, the eye of Jehovah [is] to those fearing Him, To those waiting for His kindness,
33:19 To deliver from death their soul, And to keep them alive in famine.
33:20 Our soul hath waited for Jehovah, Our help and our shield [is] He,
33:21 For in Him doth our heart rejoice, For in His holy name we have trusted.
33:22 Let Thy kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, As we have waited for Thee!
Psalms
34:1 By David, in his changing his behaviour before Abimelech, and he driveth him away, and he goeth. I do bless Jehovah at all times, Continually His praise [is] in my mouth.
34:2 In Jehovah doth my soul boast herself, Hear do the humble and rejoice.
34:3 Ascribe ye greatness to Jehovah with me, And we exalt His name together.
34:4 I sought Jehovah, and He answered me, And from all my fears did deliver me.
34:5 They looked expectingly unto Him, And they became bright, And their faces are not ashamed.
34:6 This poor [one] called, and Jehovah heard, And from all his distresses saved him.
34:7 A messenger of Jehovah is encamping, Round about those who fear Him, And He armeth them.
34:8 Taste ye and see that Jehovah [is] good, O the happiness of the man who trusteth in Him.
34:9 Fear Jehovah, ye His holy ones, For there is no lack to those fearing Him.
34:10 Young lions have lacked and been hungry, And those seeking Jehovah lack not any good,
34:11 Come ye, children, hearken to me, The fear of Jehovah I do teach you.
34:12 Who [is] the man that is desiring life? Loving days to see good?
34:13 Keep thy tongue from evil, And thy lips from speaking deceit.
34:14 Turn aside from evil and do good, Seek peace and pursue it.
34:15 The eyes of Jehovah [are] unto the righteous, And His ears unto their cry.
34:16 (The face of Jehovah [is] on doers of evil, To cut off from earth their memorial.)
34:17 They cried, and Jehovah heard, And from all their distresses delivered them.
34:18 Near [is] Jehovah to the broken of heart, And the bruised of spirit He saveth.
34:19 Many [are] the evils of the righteous, Out of them all doth Jehovah deliver him.
34:20 He is keeping all his bones, One of them hath not been broken.
34:21 Evil doth put to death the wicked, And those hating the righteous are desolate.
34:22 Jehovah redeemeth the soul of His servants, And none trusting in Him are desolate!
Psalms
35:1 By David. Strive, Jehovah, with my strivers, fight with my fighters,
35:2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and rise for my help,
35:3 And draw out spear and lance, To meet my pursuers. Say to my soul, `Thy salvation I [am].`
35:4 They are ashamed and blush, those seeking my soul, Turned backward and confounded, Those devising my evil.
35:5 They are as chaff before wind, And a messenger of Jehovah driving away.
35:6 Their way is darkness and slipperiness, And a messenger of Jehovah their pursuer.
35:7 For without cause they hid for me their netpit, Without cause they digged for my soul.
35:8 Meet him doth desolation -- he knoweth not, And his net that he hid catcheth him, For desolation he falleth into it.
35:9 And my soul is joyful in Jehovah, It rejoiceth in His salvation.
35:10 All my bones say, `Jehovah, who is like Thee, Delivering the poor from the stronger than he, And the poor and needy from his plunderer.`
35:11 Violent witnesses rise up, That which I have not known they ask me.
35:12 They pay me evil for good, bereaving my soul,
35:13 And I -- in their sickness my clothing [is] sackcloth, I have humbled with fastings my soul, And my prayer unto my bosom returneth.
35:14 As [if] a friend, as [if] my brother, I walked habitually, As a mourner for a mother, Mourning I have bowed down.
35:15 And -- in my halting they have rejoiced, And have been gathered together, Gathered against me were the smiters, And I have not known, They have rent, and they have not ceased;
35:16 With profane ones, mockers in feasts, Gnashing against me their teeth.
35:17 Lord, how long dost thou behold? Keep back my soul from their desolations, From young lions my only one.
35:18 I thank Thee in a great assembly, Among a mighty people I praise Thee.
35:19 Mine enemies rejoice not over me [with] falsehood, Those hating me without cause wink the eye.
35:20 For they speak not peace, And against the quiet of the land, Deceitful words they devise,
35:21 And they enlarge against me their mouth, They said, `Aha, aha, our eye hath seen.`
35:22 Thou hast seen, O Jehovah, Be not silent, O Lord -- be not far from me,
35:23 Stir up, and wake to my judgment, My God, and my Lord, to my plea.
35:24 Judge me according to Thy righteousness, O Jehovah my God, And they do not rejoice over me.
35:25 They do not say in their heart, `Aha, our desire.` They do not say, `We swallowed him up.`
35:26 They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are rejoicing at my evil. They put on shame and confusion, Who are magnifying themselves against me.
35:27 They sing and rejoice, who are desiring my righteousness, And they say continually, `Jehovah is magnified, Who is desiring the peace of His servant.`
35:28 And my tongue uttereth Thy righteousness, All the day Thy praise!
Psalms
36:1 To the Overseer. -- By a servant of Jehovah, by David. The transgression of the wicked Is affirming within my heart, `Fear of God is not before his eyes,
36:2 For he made [it] smooth to himself in his eyes, To find his iniquity to be hated.
36:3 The words of his mouth [are] iniquity and deceit, He ceased to act prudently -- to do good.
36:4 Iniquity he deviseth on his bed, He stationeth himself on a way not good, Evil he doth not refuse.`
36:5 O Jehovah, in the heavens [is] Thy kindness, Thy faithfulness [is] unto the clouds.
36:6 Thy righteousness [is] as mountains of God, Thy judgments [are] a great deep. Man and beast Thou savest, O Jehovah.
36:7 How precious [is] Thy kindness, O God, And the sons of men In the shadow of Thy wings do trust.
36:8 They are filled from the fatness of Thy house, And the stream of Thy delights Thou dost cause them to drink.
36:9 For with Thee [is] a fountain of life, In Thy light we see light.
36:10 Draw out Thy kindness to those knowing Thee, And Thy righteousness to the upright of heart.
36:11 Let not a foot of pride meet me, And a hand of the wicked let not move me.
36:12 There have workers of iniquity fallen, They have been overthrown, And have not been able to arise!
Psalms
37:1 By David. Do not fret because of evil doers, Be not envious against doers of iniquity,
37:2 For as grass speedily they are cut off, And as the greenness of the tender grass do fade.
37:3 Trust in Jehovah, and do good, Dwell [in] the land, and enjoy faithfulness,
37:4 And delight thyself on Jehovah, And He giveth to thee the petitions of thy heart.
37:5 Roll on Jehovah thy way, And trust upon Him, and He worketh,
37:6 And hath brought out as light thy righteousness, And thy judgment as noon-day.
37:7 Be silent for Jehovah, and stay thyself for Him, Do not fret because of him Who is making prosperous his way, Because of a man doing wicked devices.
37:8 Desist from anger, and forsake fury, Fret not thyself only to do evil.
37:9 For evil doers are cut off, As to those waiting on Jehovah, they possess the land.
37:10 And yet a little, and the wicked is not, And thou hast considered his place, and it is not.
37:11 And the humble do possess the land, And they have delighted themselves In the abundance of peace.
37:12 The wicked is devising against the righteous, And gnashing against him his teeth.
37:13 The Lord doth laugh at him, For He hath seen that his day cometh.
37:14 A sword have the wicked opened, And they have trodden their bow, To cause to fall the poor and needy, To slaughter the upright of the way.
37:15 Their sword doth enter into their own heart, And their bows are shivered.
37:16 Better [is] the little of the righteous, Than the store of many wicked.
37:17 For the arms of the wicked are shivered, And Jehovah is sustaining the righteous.
37:18 Jehovah knoweth the days of the perfect, And their inheritance is -- to the age.
37:19 They are not ashamed in a time of evil, And in days of famine they are satisfied.
37:20 But the wicked perish, and the enemies of Jehovah, As the preciousness of lambs, Have been consumed, In smoke they have been consumed.
37:21 The wicked is borrowing and repayeth not, And the righteous is gracious and giving.
37:22 For His blessed ones do possess the land, And His reviled ones are cut off.
37:23 From Jehovah [are] the steps of a man, They have been prepared, And his way he desireth.
37:24 When he falleth, he is not cast down, For Jehovah is sustaining his hand.
37:25 Young I have been, I have also become old, And I have not seen the righteous forsaken, And his seed seeking bread.
37:26 All the day he is gracious and lending, And his seed [is] for a blessing.
37:27 Turn aside from evil, and do good, and dwell to the age.
37:28 For Jehovah is loving judgment, And He doth not forsake His saintly ones, To the age they have been kept, And the seed of the wicked is cut off.
37:29 The righteous possess the land, And they dwell for ever on it.
37:30 The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, And his tongue speaketh judgment.
37:31 The law of his God [is] his heart, His steps do not slide.
37:32 The wicked is watching for the righteous, And is seeking to put him to death.
37:33 Jehovah doth not leave him in his hand, Nor condemn him in his being judged.
37:34 Look unto Jehovah, and keep His way, And He doth exalt thee to possess the land, In the wicked being cut off -- thou seest!
37:35 I have seen the wicked terrible, And spreading as a green native plant,
37:36 And he passeth away, and lo, he is not, And I seek him, and he is not found!
37:37 Observe the perfect, and see the upright, For the latter end of each [is] peace.
37:38 And transgressors were destroyed together, The latter end of the wicked was cut off.
37:39 And the salvation of the righteous [is] from Jehovah, Their strong place in a time of adversity.
37:40 And Jehovah doth help them and deliver them, He delivereth them from the wicked, And saveth them, Because they trusted in Him!
Psalms
38:1 A Psalm of David, `To cause to remember.` Jehovah, in Thy wrath reprove me not, Nor in Thy fury chastise me.
38:2 For Thine arrows have come down on me, And Thou lettest down upon me Thy hand.
38:3 Soundness is not in my flesh, Because of Thine indignation, Peace is not in my bones because of my sin.
38:4 For mine iniquities have passed over my head, As a heavy burden -- too heavy for me.
38:5 Stunk -- become corrupt have my wounds, Because of my folly.
38:6 I have been bent down, I have been bowed down -- unto excess, All the day I have gone mourning.
38:7 For my flanks have been full of drought, And soundness is not in my flesh.
38:8 I have been feeble and smitten -- unto excess, I have roared from disquietude of heart.
38:9 Lord, before Thee [is] all my desire, And my sighing from Thee hath not been hid.
38:10 My heart [is] panting, my power hath forsaken me, And the light of mine eyes, Even they are not with me.
38:11 My lovers and my friends over-against my plague stand. And my neighbours afar off have stood.
38:12 And those seeking my soul lay a snare, And those seeking my evil Have spoken mischievous things, And they do deceits meditate all the day.
38:13 And I, as deaf, hear not. And as a dumb one who openeth not his mouth.
38:14 Yea, I am as a man who heareth not, And in his mouth are no reproofs.
38:15 Because for Thee, O Jehovah, I have waited, Thou dost answer, O Lord my God.
38:16 When I said, `Lest they rejoice over me, In the slipping of my foot against me they magnified themselves.
38:17 For I am ready to halt, And my pain [is] before me continually.
38:18 For mine iniquity I declare, I am sorry for my sin.
38:19 And mine enemies [are] lively, They have been strong, and those hating me without cause, Have been multiplied.
38:20 And those paying evil for good accuse me, Because of my pursuing good.
38:21 Do not forsake me, O Jehovah, My God, be not far from me,
38:22 Haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation!
Psalms
39:1 To the Overseer, to Jeduthun. -- A Psalm of David. I have said, `I observe my ways, Against sinning with my tongue, I keep for my mouth a curb, while the wicked [is] before me.`
39:2 I was dumb [with] silence, I kept silent from good, and my pain is excited.
39:3 Hot [is] my heart within me, In my meditating doth the fire burn, I have spoken with my tongue.
39:4 `Cause me to know, O Jehovah, mine end, And the measure of my days -- what it [is],` I know how frail I [am].
39:5 Lo, handbreadths Thou hast made my days, And mine age [is] as nothing before Thee, Only, all vanity [is] every man set up. Selah.
39:6 Only, in an image doth each walk habitually, Only, [in] vain, they are disquieted, He heapeth up and knoweth not who gathereth them.
39:7 And, now, what have I expected? O Lord, my hope -- it [is] of Thee.
39:8 From all my transgressions deliver me, A reproach of the fool make me not.
39:9 I have been dumb, I open not my mouth, Because Thou -- Thou hast done [it].
39:10 Turn aside from off me Thy stroke, From the striving of Thy hand I have been consumed.
39:11 With reproofs against iniquity, Thou hast corrected man, And dost waste as a moth his desirableness, Only, vanity [is] every man. Selah.
39:12 Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, And [to] my cry give ear, Unto my tear be not silent, For a sojourner I [am] with Thee, A settler like all my fathers.
39:13 Look from me, and I brighten up before I go and am not!
Psalms
40:1 To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. I have diligently expected Jehovah, And He inclineth to me, and heareth my cry,
40:2 And He doth cause me to come up From a pit of desolation -- from mire of mud, And He raiseth up on a rock my feet, He is establishing my steps.
40:3 And He putteth in my mouth a new song, `Praise to our God.` Many do see and fear, and trust in Jehovah.
40:4 O the happiness of the man Who hath made Jehovah his trust, And hath not turned unto the proud, And those turning aside to lies.
40:5 Much hast Thou done, Jehovah my God; Thy wonders and Thy thoughts toward us, There is none to arrange unto Thee, I declare and speak: They have been more than to be numbered.
40:6 Sacrifice and present Thou hast not desired, Ears Thou hast prepared for me, Burnt and sin-offering Thou hast not asked.
40:7 Then said I, `Lo, I have come,` In the roll of the book it is written of me,
40:8 To do Thy pleasure, my God, I have delighted, And Thy law [is] within my heart.
40:9 I have proclaimed tidings of righteousness In the great assembly, lo, my lips I restrain not, O Jehovah, Thou hast known.
40:10 Thy righteousness I have not concealed In the midst of my heart, Thy faithfulness and Thy salvation I have told, I have not hidden Thy kindness and Thy truth, To the great assembly.
40:11 Thou, O Jehovah, restrainest not Thy mercies from me, Thy kindness and Thy truth do continually keep me.
40:12 For compassed me have evils innumerable, Overtaken me have mine iniquities, And I have not been able to see; They have been more than the hairs of my head, And my heart hath forsaken me.
40:13 Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me, O Jehovah, for my help make haste.
40:14 They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are seeking my soul to destroy it, They are turned backward, And are ashamed, who are desiring my evil.
40:15 They are desolate because of their shame, Who are saying to me, `Aha, aha.`
40:16 All seeking Thee rejoice and are glad in Thee, Those loving Thy salvation say continually, `Jehovah is magnified.`
40:17 And I [am] poor and needy, The Lord doth devise for me. My help and my deliverer [art] Thou, O my God, tarry Thou not.
Psalms
41:1 To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. O the happiness of him Who is acting wisely unto the poor, In a day of evil doth Jehovah deliver him.
41:2 Jehovah doth preserve him and revive him, He is happy in the land, And Thou givest him not into the will of his enemies.
41:3 Jehovah supporteth on a couch of sickness, All his bed Thou hast turned in his weakness.
41:4 I -- I said, `O Jehovah, favour me, Heal my soul, for I did sin against Thee,`
41:5 Mine enemies say evil of me: When he dieth -- his name hath perished!
41:6 And if he came to see -- vanity he speaketh, His heart gathereth iniquity to itself, He goeth out -- at the street he speaketh.
41:7 All hating me whisper together against me, Against me they devise evil to me:
41:8 A thing of Belial is poured out on him, And because he lay down he riseth not again.
41:9 Even mine ally, in whom I trusted, One eating my bread, made great the heel against me,
41:10 And Thou, Jehovah, favour me, And cause me to rise, And I give recompence to them.
41:11 By this I have known, That Thou hast delighted in me, Because my enemy shouteth not over me.
41:12 As to me, in mine integrity, Thou hast taken hold upon me, And causest me to stand before Thee to the age.
41:13 Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, From the age -- and unto the age. Amen and Amen.
Psalms
42:1 To the Overseer. -- An Instruction. By sons of Korah. As a hart doth pant for streams of water, So my soul panteth toward Thee, O God.
42:2 My soul thirsted for God, for the living God, When do I enter and see the face of God?
42:3 My tear hath been to me bread day and night, In their saying unto me all the day, `Where [is] thy God?`
42:4 These I remember, and pour out my soul in me, For I pass over into the booth, I go softly with them unto the house of God, With the voice of singing and confession, The multitude keeping feast!
42:5 What! bowest thou thyself, O my soul? Yea, art thou troubled within me? Wait for God, for still I confess Him: The salvation of my countenance -- My God!
42:6 In me doth my soul bow itself, Therefore I remember Thee from the land of Jordan, And of the Hermons, from the hill Mizar.
42:7 Deep unto deep is calling At the noise of Thy water-spouts, All Thy breakers and Thy billows passed over me.
42:8 By day Jehovah commandeth His kindness, And by night a song [is] with me, A prayer to the God of my life.
42:9 I say to God my rock, `Why hast Thou forgotten me? Why go I mourning in the oppression of an enemy?
42:10 With a sword in my bones Have mine adversaries reproached me, In their saying unto me all the day, `Where [is] thy God?`
42:11 What! bowest thou thyself, O my soul? And what! art thou troubled within me? Wait for God, for still I confess Him, The salvation of my countenance, and my God!
Psalms
43:1 Judge me, O God, And plead my cause against a nation not pious, From a man of deceit and perverseness Thou dost deliver me,
43:2 For thou [art] the God of my strength. Why hast Thou cast me off? Why mourning do I go up and down, In the oppression of an enemy?
43:3 Send forth Thy light and Thy truth, They -- they lead me, they bring me in, Unto Thy holy hill, and unto Thy tabernacles.
43:4 And I go in unto the altar of God, Unto God, the joy of my rejoicing. And I thank Thee with a harp, O God, my God.
43:5 What! bowest thou thyself, O my soul? And what! art thou troubled within me? Wait for God, for still I confess Him, The salvation of my countenance, and my God!
Psalms
44:1 To the Overseer. -- By sons of Korah. An Instruction. O God, with our ears we have heard, Our fathers have recounted to us, The work Thou didst work in their days, In the days of old.
44:2 Thou, [with] Thy hand, nations hast dispossessed. And Thou dost plant them. Thou afflictest peoples, and sendest them away.
44:3 For, not by their sword Possessed they the land, And their arm gave not salvation to them, But Thy right hand, and Thine arm, And the light of Thy countenance, Because Thou hadst accepted them.
44:4 Thou [art] He, my king, O God, Command the deliverances of Jacob.
44:5 By Thee our adversaries we do push, By Thy name tread down our withstanders,
44:6 For, not in my bow do I trust, And my sword doth not save me.
44:7 For Thou hast saved us from our adversaries, And those hating us Thou hast put to shame.
44:8 In God we have boasted all the day, And Thy name to the age we thank. Selah.
44:9 In anger Thou hast cast off and causest us to blush, And goest not forth with our hosts.
44:10 Thou causest us to turn backward from an adversary, And those hating us, Have spoiled for themselves.
44:11 Thou makest us food like sheep, And among nations Thou hast scattered us.
44:12 Thou sellest Thy people -- without wealth, And hast not become great by their price.
44:13 Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, A scorn and a reproach to our surrounders.
44:14 Thou makest us a simile among nations, A shaking of the head among peoples.
44:15 All the day my confusion [is] before me, And the shame of my face hath covered me.
44:16 Because of the voice of a reproacher and reviler, Because of an enemy and a self-avenger.
44:17 All this met us, and we did not forget Thee, Nor have we dealt falsely in Thy covenant.
44:18 We turn not backward our heart, Nor turn aside doth our step from Thy path.
44:19 But Thou hast smitten us in a place of dragons, And dost cover us over with death-shade.
44:20 If we have forgotten the name of our God, And spread our hands to a strange God,
44:21 Doth not God search out this? For He knoweth the secrets of the heart.
44:22 Surely, for Thy sake we have been slain all the day, Reckoned as sheep of the slaughter.
44:23 Stir up -- why dost Thou sleep, O Lord? Awake, cast us not off for ever.
44:24 Why Thy face hidest Thou? Thou forgettest our afflictions and our oppression,
44:25 For bowed to the dust hath our soul, Cleaved to the earth hath our belly.
44:26 Arise, a help to us, And ransom us for thy kindness` sake.
Psalms
45:1 To the Overseer. -- `On the Lilies.` -- By sons of Korah. -- An Instruction. -- A song of loves. My heart hath indited a good thing, I am telling my works to a king, My tongue [is] the pen of a speedy writer.
45:2 Thou hast been beautified above the sons of men, Grace hath been poured into thy lips, Therefore hath God blessed thee to the age.
45:3 Gird Thy sword upon the thigh, O mighty, Thy glory and Thy majesty!
45:4 As to Thy majesty -- prosper! -- ride! Because of truth, and meekness -- righteousness, And Thy right hand showeth Thee fearful things.
45:5 Thine arrows [are] sharp, -- Peoples fall under Thee -- In the heart of the enemies of the king.
45:6 Thy throne, O God, [is] age-during, and for ever, A sceptre of uprightness [Is] the sceptre of Thy kingdom.
45:7 Thou hast loved righteousness and hatest wickedness, Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee, Oil of joy above thy companions.
45:8 Myrrh and aloes, cassia! all thy garments, Out of palaces of ivory Stringed instruments have made thee glad.
45:9 Daughters of kings [are] among thy precious ones, A queen hath stood at thy right hand, In pure gold of Ophir.
45:10 Hearken, O daughter, and see, incline thine ear, And forget thy people, and thy father`s house,
45:11 And the king doth desire thy beauty, Because he [is] thy lord -- bow thyself to him,
45:12 And the daughter of Tyre with a present, The rich of the people do appease thy face.
45:13 All glory [is] the daughter of the king within, Of gold-embroidered work [is] her clothing.
45:14 In divers colours she is brought to the king, Virgins -- after her -- her companions, Are brought to thee.
45:15 They are brought with joy and gladness, They come into the palace of the king.
45:16 Instead of thy fathers are thy sons, Thou dost appoint them for princes in all the earth.
45:17 I make mention of Thy name in all generations, Therefore do peoples praise Thee, To the age, and for ever!
Psalms
46:1 To the Overseer. -- By sons of Korah. `For the Virgins.` -- A song. God [is] to us a refuge and strength, A help in adversities found most surely.
46:2 Therefore we fear not in the changing of earth, And in the slipping of mountains Into the heart of the seas.
46:3 Roar -- troubled are its waters, Mountains they shake in its pride. Selah.
46:4 A river -- its rivulets rejoice the city of God, Thy holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.
46:5 God [is] in her midst -- she is not moved, God doth help her at the turn of the morn!
46:6 Troubled have been nations, Moved have been kingdoms, He hath given forth with His voice, earth melteth.
46:7 Jehovah of Hosts [is] with us, A tower for us [is] the God of Jacob. Selah.
46:8 Come ye, see the works of Jehovah, Who hath done astonishing things in the earth,
46:9 Causing wars to cease, Unto the end of the earth, the bow he shivereth, And the spear He hath cut asunder, Chariots he doth burn with fire.
46:10 Desist, and know that I [am] God, I am exalted among nations, I am exalted in the earth.
46:11 Jehovah of hosts [is] with us, A tower for us [is] the God of Jacob! Selah.
Psalms
47:1 To the Overseer. -- By sons of Korah. A Psalm. All ye peoples, clap the hand, Shout to God with a voice of singing,
47:2 For Jehovah Most High [is] fearful, A great king over all the earth.
47:3 He leadeth peoples under us, and nations under our feet.
47:4 He doth choose for us our inheritance, The excellency of Jacob that He loves. Selah.
47:5 God hath gone up with a shout, Jehovah with the sound of a trumpet.
47:6 Praise God -- praise -- give praise to our king, praise.
47:7 For king of all the earth [is] God, Give praise, O understanding one.
47:8 God hath reigned over nations, God hath sat on His holy throne,
47:9 Nobles of peoples have been gathered, [With] the people of the God of Abraham, For to God [are] the shields of earth, Greatly hath He been exalted!
Psalms
48:1 A Song, a Psalm, by sons of Korah. Great [is] Jehovah, and praised greatly, In the city of our God -- His holy hill.
48:2 Beautiful [for] elevation, A joy of all the land, [is] Mount Zion, The sides of the north, the city of a great king.
48:3 God in her high places is known for a tower.
48:4 For, lo, the kings met, they passed by together,
48:5 They have seen -- so they have marvelled, They have been troubled, they were hastened away.
48:6 Trembling hath seized them there, Pain, as of a travailing woman.
48:7 By an east wind Thou shiverest ships of Tarshish.
48:8 As we have heard, so we have seen, In the city of Jehovah of hosts, In the city of our God, God doth establish her -- to the age. Selah.
48:9 We have thought, O God, of Thy kindness, In the midst of Thy temple,
48:10 As [is] Thy name, O God, so [is] Thy praise, Over the ends of the earth, Righteousness hath filled Thy right hand.
48:11 Rejoice doth Mount Zion, The daughters of Judah are joyful, For the sake of Thy judgments.
48:12 Compass Zion, and go round her, count her towers,
48:13 Set your heart to her bulwark, Consider her high places, So that ye recount to a later generation,
48:14 That this God [is] our God -- To the age and for ever, He -- he doth lead us over death!
Psalms
49:1 To the Overseer. -- By sons of Korah. A Psalm. Hear this, all ye peoples, Give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world.
49:2 Both low and high, together rich and needy.
49:3 My mouth speaketh wise things, And the meditations of my heart [are] things of understanding.
49:4 I incline to a simile mine ear, I open with a harp my riddle:
49:5 Why do I fear in days of evil? The iniquity of my supplanters doth compass me.
49:6 Those trusting on their wealth, And in the multitude of their riches, Do shew themselves foolish.
49:7 A brother doth no one at all ransom, He doth not give to God his atonement.
49:8 And precious [is] the redemption of their soul, And it hath ceased -- to the age.
49:9 And still he liveth for ever, He seeth not the pit.
49:10 For he seeth wise men die, Together the foolish and brutish perish, And have left to others their wealth.
49:11 Their heart [is]: Their houses [are] to the age, Their tabernacles to all generations. They proclaimed their names over the lands.
49:12 And man in honour doth not remain, He hath been like the beasts, they have been cut off.
49:13 This their way [is] folly for them, And their posterity with their sayings are pleased. Selah.
49:14 As sheep for Sheol they have set themselves, Death doth afflict them, And the upright rule over them in the morning, And their form [is] for consumption. Sheol [is] a dwelling for him.
49:15 Only, God doth ransom my soul from the hand of Sheol, For He doth receive me. Selah.
49:16 Fear not, when one maketh wealth, When the honour of his house is abundant,
49:17 For at his death he receiveth nothing, His honour goeth not down after him.
49:18 For his soul in his life he blesseth, (And they praise thee when thou dost well for thyself.)
49:19 It cometh to the generation of his fathers, For ever they see not the light.
49:20 Man in honour, who understandest not, Hath been like the beasts, they have been cut off!
Psalms
50:1 A Psalm of Asaph. The God of gods -- Jehovah -- hath spoken, And He calleth to the earth From the rising of the sun unto its going in.
50:2 From Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shone.
50:3 Our God cometh, and is not silent, Fire before Him doth devour, And round about him it hath been very tempestuous.
50:4 He doth call unto the heavens from above, And unto the earth, to judge His people.
50:5 Gather ye to Me My saints, Making covenant with Me over a sacrifice.
50:6 And the heavens declare His righteousness, For God Himself [is] judge. Selah.
50:7 Hear, O My people, and I speak, O Israel, and I testify against thee, God, thy God [am] I.
50:8 Not for thy sacrifices do I reprove thee, Yea, thy burnt-offerings [Are] before Me continually.
50:9 I take not from thy house a bullock, From thy folds he goats.
50:10 For Mine [is] every beast of the forest, The cattle on the hills of oxen.
50:11 I have known every fowl of the mountains, And the wild beast of the field [is] with Me.
50:12 If I am hungry I tell not to thee, For Mine [is] the world and its fulness.
50:13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls, And drink the blood of he-goats?
50:14 Sacrifice to God confession, And complete to the Most High thy vows.
50:15 And call Me in a day of adversity, I deliver thee, and thou honourest Me.
50:16 And to the wicked hath God said: What to thee -- to recount My statutes? That thou liftest up My covenant on thy mouth?
50:17 Yea, thou hast hated instruction, And dost cast My words behind thee.
50:18 If thou hast seen a thief, Then thou art pleased with him, And with adulterers [is] thy portion.
50:19 Thy mouth thou hast sent forth with evil, And thy tongue joineth deceit together,
50:20 Thou sittest, against thy brother thou speakest, Against a son of thy mother givest slander.
50:21 These thou didst, and I kept silent, Thou hast thought that I am like thee, I reprove thee, and set in array before thine eyes.
50:22 Understand this, I pray you, Ye who are forgetting God, Lest I tear, and there is no deliverer.
50:23 He who is sacrificing praise honoureth Me, As to him who maketh a way, I cause him to look on the salvation of God!
Psalms
51:1 To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David, in the coming inn unto him of Nathan the prophet, when he hath gone in unto Bath-Sheba. Favour me, O God, according to Thy kindness, According to the abundance of Thy mercies, Blot out my transgressions.
51:2 Thoroughly wash me from mine iniquity, And from my sin cleanse me,
51:3 For my transgressions I do know, And my sin [is] before me continually.
51:4 Against Thee, Thee only, I have sinned, And done the evil thing in Thine eyes, So that Thou art righteous in Thy words, Thou art pure in Thy judging.
51:5 Lo, in iniquity I have been brought forth, And in sin doth my mother conceive me.
51:6 Lo, truth Thou hast desired in the inward parts, And in the hidden part Wisdom Thou causest me to know.
51:7 Thou cleansest me with hyssop and I am clean, Washest me, and than snow I am whiter.
51:8 Thou causest me to hear joy and gladness, Thou makest joyful bones Thou hast bruised.
51:9 Hide Thy face from my sin. And all mine iniquities blot out.
51:10 A clean heart prepare for me, O God, And a right spirit renew within me.
51:11 Cast me not forth from Thy presence, And Thy Holy Spirit take not from me.
51:12 Restore to me the joy of Thy salvation, And a willing spirit doth sustain me.
51:13 I teach transgressors Thy ways, And sinners unto Thee do return.
51:14 Deliver me from blood, O God, God of my salvation, My tongue singeth of Thy righteousness.
51:15 O Lord, my lips thou dost open, And my mouth declareth Thy praise.
51:16 For Thou desirest not sacrifice, or I give [it], Burnt-offering Thou acceptest not.
51:17 The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit, A heart broken and bruised, O God, Thou dost not despise.
51:18 Do good in Thy good pleasure with Zion, Thou dost build the walls of Jerusalem.
51:19 Then Thou desirest sacrifices of righteousness, Burnt-offering, and whole burnt-offering, Then they offer bullocks on thine altar!
Psalms
52:1 To the Overseer. -- An instruction, by David, in the coming in of Doeg the Edomite, and he declareth to Saul, and saith to him, `David came in unto the house of Ahimelech.` What, boasteth thou in evil, O mighty one? The kindness of God [is] all the day.
52:2 Mischiefs doth thy tongue devise, Like a sharp razor, working deceit.
52:3 Thou hast loved evil rather than good, Lying, than speaking righteousness. Selah.
52:4 Thou hast loved all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.
52:5 Also -- God doth break thee down for ever, Taketh thee, and pulleth thee out of the tent, And He hath uprooted thee Out of the land of the living. Selah.
52:6 And the righteous see, And fear, and laugh at him.
52:7 `Lo, the man who maketh not God his strong place, And trusteth in the abundance of his riches, He is strong in his mischiefs.`
52:8 And I, as a green olive in the house of God, I have trusted in the kindness of God, To the age and for ever,
52:9 I thank Thee to the age, because Thou hast done [it], And I wait [on] Thy name for [it is] good before Thy saints!
Psalms
53:1 To the Overseer. -- `On a disease.` -- An instruction, by David. A fool said in his heart, `There is no God.` They have done corruptly, Yea, they have done abominable iniquity, There is none doing good.
53:2 God from the heavens looked on the sons of men, To see if there be an understanding one, [One] seeking God.
53:3 Every one went back, together they became filthy, There is none doing good -- not even one.
53:4 Have not workers of iniquity known, Those eating my people have eaten bread, God they have not called.
53:5 There they feared a fear -- there was no fear, For God hath scattered the bones of him Who is encamping against thee, Thou hast put to shame, For God hath despised them.
53:6 Who doth give from Zion the salvation of Israel? When God turneth back [to] a captivity of His people, Jacob doth rejoice -- Israel is glad!
Psalms
54:1 To the Overseer with stringed instruments. -- An instruction, by David, in the coming in of the Ziphim, and they say to Saul, `Is not David hiding himself with us?` O God, by Thy name save me, and by Thy might judge me.
54:2 O God, hear my prayer, Give ear to the sayings of my mouth,
54:3 For strangers have risen up against me And terrible ones have sought my soul, They have not set God before them. Selah.
54:4 Lo, God [is] a helper to me, The Lord [is] with those supporting my soul,
54:5 Turn back doth the evil thing to mine enemies, In Thy truth cut them off.
54:6 With a free will-offering I sacrifice to Thee, I thank Thy name, O Jehovah, for [it is] good,
54:7 For, from all adversity He delivered me, And on mine enemies hath mine eye looked!
Psalms
55:1 To the Overseer with stringed instruments. -- An instruction, by David. Give ear, O God, [to] my prayer, And hide not from my supplication.
55:2 Attend to me, and answer me, I mourn in my meditation, and make a noise,
55:3 Because of the voice of an enemy, Because of the oppression of the wicked, For they cause sorrow to move against me, And in anger they hate me.
55:4 My heart is pained within me, And terrors of death have fallen on me.
55:5 Fear and trembling come in to me, And horror doth cover me.
55:6 And I say, `Who doth give to me a pinion as a dove? I fly away and rest,
55:7 Lo, I move far off, I lodge in a wilderness. Selah.
55:8 I hasten escape for myself, From a rushing wind, from a whirlwind.
55:9 Swallow up, O Lord, divide their tongue, For I saw violence and strife in a city.
55:10 By day and by night they go round it, on its walls. Both iniquity and perverseness [are] in its midst,
55:11 Mischiefs [are] in its midst. Fraud and deceit depart not from its street.
55:12 For an enemy reproacheth me not, or I bear [it], He who is hating me Hath not magnified himself against me, Or I hide from him.
55:13 But thou, a man -- as mine equal, My familiar friend, and mine acquaintance.
55:14 When together we sweeten counsel, Into the house of God we walk in company.
55:15 Desolations [are] upon them, They go down [to] Sheol -- alive, For wickedness [is] in their dwelling, in their midst.
55:16 I -- to God I call, and Jehovah saveth me.
55:17 Evening, and morning, and noon, I meditate, and make a noise, and He heareth my voice,
55:18 He hath ransomed in peace my soul From him who is near to me, For with the multitude they were with me.
55:19 God doth hear and afflict them, And He sitteth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, and fear not God,
55:20 He hath sent forth his hands against his well-wishers, He hath polluted his covenant.
55:21 Sweeter than honey hath been his mouth, And his heart [is] war! Softer have been his words than oil, And they [are] drawn [swords].
55:22 Cast on Jehovah that which He hath given thee, And He doth sustain thee, He doth not suffer for ever the moving of the righteous.
55:23 And Thou, O God, dost bring them down To a pit of destruction, Men of blood and deceit reach not to half their days, And I -- I do trust in Thee!
Psalms
56:1 To the Overseer. -- `On the Dumb Dove far off.` -- A secret treasure of David, in the Philistines` taking hold of him in Gath. Favour me, O God, for man swallowed me up, All the day fighting he oppresseth me,
56:2 Mine enemies have swallowed up all the day, For many [are] fighting against me, O most High,
56:3 The day I am afraid I am confident toward Thee.
56:4 In God I praise His word, in God I have trusted, I fear not what flesh doth to me.
56:5 All the day they wrest my words, Concerning me all their thoughts [are] for evil,
56:6 They assemble, they hide, they watch my heels, When they have expected my soul.
56:7 By iniquity they escape, In anger the peoples put down, O God.
56:8 My wandering Thou hast counted, Thou -- place Thou my tear in Thy bottle, Are they not in Thy book?
56:9 Then turn back do mine enemies in the day I call. This I have known, that God [is] for me.
56:10 In God I praise the word, In Jehovah I praise the word.
56:11 In God I trusted, I fear not what man doth to me,
56:12 On me, O God, [are] Thy vows, I repay thank-offerings to Thee.
56:13 For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, Dost Thou not my feet from falling? To walk habitually before God in the light of the living!
Psalms
57:1 To the Overseer. -- `Destroy not.` -- A secret treasure of David, in his fleeing from the face of Saul into a cave. Favour me, O God, favour me, For in Thee is my soul trusting, And in the shadow of Thy wings I trust, Until the calamities pass over.
57:2 I call to God Most High, To God [who] is perfecting for me.
57:3 He sendeth from the heaven, and saveth me, He reproached -- who is panting after me. Selah. God sendeth forth His kindness and His truth.
57:4 My soul [is] in the midst of lions, I lie down [among] flames -- sons of men, Their teeth [are] a spear and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword.
57:5 Be Thou exalted above the heavens, O God, Above all the earth Thine honour.
57:6 A net they have prepared for my steps, Bowed down hath my soul, They have digged before me a pit, They have fallen into its midst. Selah.
57:7 Prepared is my heart, O God, Prepared is my heart, I sing and praise.
57:8 Awake, mine honour, awake, psaltery and harp, I awake the morning dawn.
57:9 I thank Thee among the peoples, O Lord, I praise Thee among the nations.
57:10 For great unto the heavens [is] Thy kindness, And unto the clouds Thy truth.
57:11 Be thou exalted above the heavens, O God. Above all the earth Thine honour!
Psalms
58:1 To the Overseer. -- `Destroy not.` -- A secret treasure, by David. Is it true, O dumb one, righteously ye speak? Uprightly ye judge, O sons of men?
58:2 Even in heart ye work iniquities, In the land the violence of your hands ye ponder.
58:3 The wicked have been estranged from the womb, They have erred from the belly, speaking lies.
58:4 Their poison [is] as poison of a serpent, As a deaf asp shutting its ear,
58:5 Which hearkeneth not to the voice of whisperers, A charmer of charms most skilful.
58:6 O God, break their teeth in their mouth, The jaw-teeth of young lions break down, O Jehovah.
58:7 They are melted as waters, They go up and down for themselves, His arrow proceedeth as they cut themselves off.
58:8 As a snail that melteth he goeth on, [As] an untimely birth of a woman, They have not seen the sun.
58:9 Before your pots discern the bramble, As well the raw as the heated He whirleth away.
58:10 The righteous rejoiceth that he hath seen vengeance, His steps he washeth in the blood of the wicked.
58:11 And man saith: `Surely fruit [is] for the righteous: Surely there is a God judging in the earth!`
Psalms
59:1 To the Overseer. -- `Destroy not,` by David. -- A secret treasure, in Saul`s sending, and they watch the house to put him to death. Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God, From my withstanders set me on high.
59:2 Deliver me from workers of iniquity, And from men of blood save me.
59:3 For, lo, they laid wait for my soul, Assembled against me are strong ones, Not my transgression nor my sin, O Jehovah.
59:4 Without punishment they run and prepare themselves, Stir up to meet me, and see.
59:5 And Thou, Jehovah, God of Hosts, God of Israel, Awake to inspect all the nations. Favour not any treacherous dealers of iniquity. Selah.
59:6 They turn back at evening, They make a noise like a dog, And go round about the city.
59:7 Lo, they belch out with their mouths, Swords [are] in their lips, for `Who heareth?`
59:8 And Thou, O Jehovah dost laugh at them, Thou dost mock at all the nations.
59:9 O my Strength, unto Thee I take heed, For God [is] my tower -- the God of my kindness.
59:10 God doth go before me, He causeth me to look on mine enemies.
59:11 Slay them not, lest my people forget, Shake them by Thy strength, And bring them down, O Lord our shield.
59:12 The sin of their mouth [is] a word of their lips, And they are captured in their pride, And from the curse and lying they recount.
59:13 Consume in fury, consume and they are not, And they know that God is ruling in Jacob, To the ends of the earth. Selah.
59:14 And they turn back at evening, They make a noise like a dog, And they go round about the city.
59:15 They -- they wander for food, If they are not satisfied -- then they murmur.
59:16 And I -- I sing [of] Thy strength, And I sing at morn [of] Thy kindness, For thou hast been a tower to me, And a refuge for me in a day of adversity.
59:17 O my Strength, unto Thee I sing praise, For God [is] my tower, the God of my kindness!
Psalms
60:1 To the Overseer. -- `Concerning the Lily of Testimony,` a secret treasure of David, to teach, in his striving with Aram-Naharaim, and with Aram-Zobah, and Joab turneth back and smiteth Edom in the valley of Salt -- twelve thousand. O God, Thou hadst cast us off, Thou hadst broken us -- hadst been angry! -- Thou dost turn back to us.
60:2 Thou hast caused the land to tremble, Thou hast broken it, Heal its breaches, for it hath moved.
60:3 Thou hast shewn Thy people a hard thing, Thou hast caused us to drink wine of trembling.
60:4 Thou hast given to those fearing thee an ensign. To be lifted up as an ensign Because of truth. Selah.
60:5 That Thy beloved ones may be drawn out, Save [with] Thy right hand, and answer us.
60:6 God hath spoken in His holiness: I exult -- I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure,
60:7 Mine [is] Gilead, and mine [is] Manasseh, And Ephraim [is] the strength of my head, Judah [is] my lawgiver,
60:8 Moab [is] my pot for washing, over Edom I cast my shoe, Shout, concerning me, O Philistia.
60:9 Who doth bring me [to] a city of bulwarks? Who hath led me unto Edom?
60:10 Is it not Thou, O God? hast Thou cast us off? And dost Thou not go forth, O God, with our hosts!
60:11 Give to us help from adversity, And vain [is] the deliverance of man.
60:12 In God we do mightily, And He treadeth down our adversaries!
Psalms
61:1 To the Overseer, on stringed instruments. -- By David. Hear, O God, my loud cry, attend to my prayer.
61:2 From the end of the land unto Thee I call, In the feebleness of my heart, Into a rock higher than I Thou dost lead me.
61:3 For Thou hast been a refuge for me, A tower of strength because of the enemy.
61:4 I sojourn in Thy tent to the ages, I trust in the secret place of Thy wings. Selah.
61:5 For Thou, O God, hast hearkened to my vows, Thou hast appointed the inheritance Of those fearing Thy name.
61:6 Days to the days of the king Thou addest, His years as generation and generation.
61:7 He dwelleth to the age before God, Kindness and truth appoint -- they keep him.
61:8 So do I praise Thy name for ever, When I pay my vows day by day!
Psalms
62:1 To the Overseer, for Jeduthun. -- A Psalm of David. Only -- toward God [is] my soul silent, From Him [is] my salvation.
62:2 Only -- He [is] my rock, and my salvation, My tower, I am not much moved.
62:3 Till when do ye devise mischief against a man? Ye are destroyed all of you, As a wall inclined, a hedge that is cast down.
62:4 Only -- from his excellency They have consulted to drive away, They enjoy a lie, with their mouth they bless, And with their heart revile. Selah.

62:6 Only -- He [is] my rock and my salvation, My tower, I am not moved.

62:8 Trust in Him at all times, O people, Pour forth before Him your heart, God [is] a refuge for us. Selah.
62:9 Only -- vanity [are] the low, a lie the high. In balances to go up they than vanity [are] lighter.
62:10 Trust not in oppression, And in robbery become not vain, Wealth -- when it increaseth -- set not the heart.
62:11 Once hath God spoken, twice I heard this, That `strength [is] with God.`
62:12 And with Thee, O Lord, [is] kindness, For Thou dost recompense to each, According to his work!
Psalms
63:1 A Psalm of David, in his being in the wilderness of Judah. O God, Thou [art] my God, earnestly do I seek Thee, Thirsted for Thee hath my soul, Longed for Thee hath my flesh, In a land dry and weary, without waters.
63:2 So in the sanctuary I have seen Thee, To behold Thy strength and Thine honour.
63:3 Because better [is] Thy kindness than life, My lips do praise Thee.
63:4 So I bless Thee in my life, in Thy name I lift up my hands.
63:5 As [with] milk and fatness is my soul satisfied, And [with] singing lips doth my mouth praise.
63:6 If I have remembered Thee on my couch, In the watches -- I meditate on Thee.
63:7 For Thou hast been a help to me, And in the shadow of Thy wings I sing.
63:8 Cleaved hath my soul after Thee, On me hath Thy right hand taken hold.
63:9 And they who for desolation seek my soul, Go in to the lower parts of the earth.
63:10 They cause him to run on the edge of the sword, A portion for foxes they are.
63:11 And the king doth rejoice in God, Boast himself doth every one swearing by Him, But stopped is the mouth of those speaking lies!
Psalms
64:1 To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my voice, in my meditation, From the fear of an enemy Thou keepest my life,
64:2 Hidest me from the secret counsel of evil doers, From the tumult of workers of iniquity.
64:3 Who sharpened as a sword their tongue, They directed their arrow -- a bitter word.
64:4 To shoot in secret places the perfect, Suddenly they shoot him, and fear not.
64:5 They strengthen for themselves an evil thing, They recount of the hiding of snares, They have said, `Who doth look at it?`
64:6 They search out perverse things, `We perfected a searching search,` And the inward part of man, and the heart [are] deep.
64:7 And God doth shoot them [with] an arrow, Sudden have been their wounds,
64:8 And they cause him to stumble, Against them [is] their own tongue, Every looker on them fleeth away.
64:9 And all men fear, and declare the work of God, And His deed they have considered wisely.
64:10 The righteous doth rejoice in Jehovah, And hath trusted in Him, And boast themselves do all the upright of heart!
Psalms
65:1 To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. A Song. To Thee, silence -- praise, O God, [is] in Zion, And to Thee is a vow completed.
65:2 Hearer of prayer, to Thee all flesh cometh.
65:3 Matters of iniquities were mightier than I, Our transgressions -- Thou dost cover them.
65:4 O the happiness of [him whom] Thou choosest, And drawest near, he inhabiteth Thy courts, We are satisfied with the goodness of Thy house, Thy holy temple.
65:5 By fearful things in righteousness Thou answerest us, O God of our salvation, The confidence of all far off ends of earth and sea.
65:6 Establishing mountains by His power, He hath been girded with might,
65:7 Restraining the noise of seas, the noise of their billows, And the multitude of the peoples.
65:8 And the inhabitants of the uttermost parts From Thy signs are afraid, The outgoings of morning and evening Thou causest to sing.
65:9 Thou hast inspected the earth, and waterest it, Thou makest it very rich, the rivulet of God [is] full of water, Thou preparest their corn, When thus Thou dost prepare it,
65:10 Its ridges have been filled, Deepened hath been its furrow, With showers Thou dost soften it, Its springing up Thou blessest.
65:11 Thou hast crowned the year of Thy goodness, And Thy paths drop fatness.
65:12 Drop do the pastures of a wilderness, And joy of the heights Thou girdest on.
65:13 Clothed have lambs the flock, And valleys are covered with corn, They shout -- yea, they sing!

66:4 All the earth do bow to Thee, They sing praise to Thee, they praise Thy name.` Selah.
66:5 Come ye, and see the works of God, Fearful acts toward the sons of men.
66:6 He hath turned a sea to dry land, Through a river they pass over on foot, There do we rejoice in Him.
66:7 Ruling by His might to the age, His eyes among the nations do watch, The refractory exalt not themselves. Selah.
66:8 Bless, ye peoples, our God, And sound the voice of His praise,
66:9 Who hath placed our soul in life, And suffered not our feet to be moved.
66:10 For Thou hast tried us, O God, Thou hast refined us as the refining of silver.
66:11 Thou hast brought us into a net, Thou hast placed pressure on our loins.
66:12 Thou hast caused man to ride at our head. We have entered into fire and into water, And Thou bringest us out to a watered place.
66:13 I enter Thy house with burnt-offerings, I complete to Thee my vows,
66:14 For opened were my lips, And my mouth spake in my distress:
66:15 `Burnt-offerings of fatlings I offer to Thee, With perfume of rams, I prepare a bullock with he-goats.` Selah.
66:16 Come, hear, all ye who fear God, And I recount what he did for my soul.
66:17 Unto Him [with] my mouth I have called, And exaltation [is] under my tongue.
66:18 Iniquity, if I have seen in my heart, The Lord doth not hear.
66:19 But God hath heard, He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
66:20 Blessed [is] God, Who hath not turned aside my prayer, And His loving-kindness, from me!

67:6 Earth hath given her increase, God doth bless us -- our God,
67:7 God doth bless us, and all ends of earth fear Him!
Psalms
68:1 To the Overseer. -- A Psalm, a song of David. Rise doth God -- scattered are His enemies! And those hating Him flee from His face.
68:2 As the driving away of smoke Thou drivest away, As the melting of wax before fire, The wicked perish at the presence of God.
68:3 And the righteous rejoice, they exult before God, And they joy with gladness.
68:4 Sing ye to God -- praise His name, Raise up a highway for Him who is riding in deserts, In Jah [is] His name, and exult before Him.
68:5 Father of the fatherless, and judge of the widows, [Is] God in His holy habitation.
68:6 God -- causing the lonely to dwell at home, Bringing out bound ones into prosperity, Only -- the refractory have inhabited a dry place.
68:7 O God, in Thy going forth before Thy people, In Thy stepping through the wilderness, Selah.
68:8 The earth hath shaken, Yea, the heavens have dropped before God, This Sinai -- before God, the God of Israel.
68:9 A shower of free-will gifts thou shakest out, O God. Thine inheritance, when it hath been weary, Thou hast established it.
68:10 Thy company have dwelt in it, Thou preparest in Thy goodness for the poor, O God.
68:11 The Lord doth give the saying, The female proclaimers [are] a numerous host.
68:12 Kings of hosts flee utterly away, And a female inhabitant of the house apportioneth spoil.
68:13 Though ye do lie between two boundaries, Wings of a dove covered with silver, And her pinions with yellow gold.
68:14 When the Mighty spreadeth kings in it, It doth snow in Salmon.
68:15 A hill of God [is] the hill of Bashan, A hill of heights [is] the hill of Bashan.
68:16 Why do ye envy, O high hills, The hill God hath desired for His seat? Jehovah also doth tabernacle for ever.
68:17 The chariots of God [are] myriads, thousands of changes, The Lord [is] among them, in Sinai, in the sanctuary.
68:18 Thou hast ascended on high, Thou hast taken captive captivity, Thou hast taken gifts for men, That even the refractory may rest, O Jah God.
68:19 Blessed [is] the Lord, day by day He layeth on us. God Himself [is] our salvation. Selah.
68:20 God Himself [is] to us a God for deliverances, And Jehovah Lord hath the outgoings of death.
68:21 Only -- God doth smite The head of His enemies, The hairy crown of a habitual walker in his guilt.
68:22 The Lord said: `From Bashan I bring back, I bring back from the depths of the sea.
68:23 So that thou dashest thy foot in blood, [In the blood of] enemies -- the tongue of Thy dogs.`
68:24 They have seen Thy goings, O God, Goings of my God, my king, in the sanctuary.
68:25 Singers have been before, Behind [are] players on instruments, In the midst virgins playing with timbrels.
68:26 In assemblies bless ye God, The Lord -- from the fountain of Israel.
68:27 There [is] little Benjamin their ruler, Heads of Judah their defence, Heads of Zebulun -- heads of Naphtali.
68:28 Thy God hath commanded thy strength, Be strong, O God, this Thou hast wrought for us.
68:29 Because of Thy temple at Jerusalem, To Thee do kings bring a present.
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 Thou peoples delighting in conflicts.
68:31 Come do fat ones out of Egypt, Cush causeth her hands to run to God.
68:32 Kingdoms of the earth, sing ye to God, Praise ye the Lord. Selah.
68:33 To him who is riding on the heavens of the heavens of old, Lo, He giveth with His voice a strong voice.
68:34 Ascribe ye strength to God, Over Israel [is] His excellency, and His strength in the clouds.
68:35 Fearful, O God, out of Thy sanctuaries, The God of Israel Himself, Giving strength and might to the people. Blessed [is] God!
Psalms
69:1 To the Overseer. -- `On the Lilies,` by David. Save me, O God, for come have waters unto the soul.
69:2 I have sunk in deep mire, And there is no standing, I have come into the depths of the waters, And a flood hath overflown me.
69:3 I have been wearied with my calling, Burnt hath been my throat, Consumed have been mine eyes, waiting for my God.
69:4 Those hating me without cause Have been more than the hairs of my head, Mighty have been my destroyers, My lying enemies, That which I took not away -- I bring back.
69:5 O God, Thou -- Thou hast known Concerning my overturn, And my desolations from Thee have not been hid.
69:6 Let not those waiting on Thee be ashamed because of me, O Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, Let not those seeking Thee Blush because of me, O God of Israel.
69:7 For because of Thee I have borne reproach, Shame hath covered my face.
69:8 A stranger I have been to my brother, And a foreigner to sons of my mother.
69:9 For zeal for Thy house hath consumed me, And the reproaches of Thy reproachers Have fallen upon me.
69:10 And I weep in the fasting of my soul, And it is for a reproach to me.
69:11 And I make my clothing sackcloth, And I am to them for a simile.
69:12 Those sitting at the gate meditate concerning me, And those drinking strong drink, Play on instruments.
69:13 And I -- my prayer [is] to Thee, O Jehovah, A time of good pleasure, O God, In the abundance of Thy kindness, Answer me in the truth of Thy salvation.
69:14 Deliver me from the mire, and let me not sink, Let me be delivered from those hating me, And from deep places of waters.
69:15 Let not a flood of waters overflow me, Nor let the deep swallow me up, Nor let the pit shut her mouth upon me.
69:16 Answer me, O Jehovah, for good [is] Thy kindness, According to the abundance Of Thy mercies turn Thou unto me,
69:17 And hide not Thy face from Thy servant, For I am in distress -- haste, answer me.
69:18 Be near unto my soul -- redeem it, Because of mine enemies ransom me.
69:19 Thou -- Thou hast known my reproach, And my shame, and my blushing, Before Thee [are] all mine adversaries.
69:20 Reproach hath broken my heart, and I am sick, And I look for a bemoaner, and there is none, And for comforters, and I have found none.
69:21 And they give for my food gall, And for my thirst cause me to drink vinegar.
69:22 Their table before them is for a snare, And for a recompence -- for a trap.
69:23 Darkened are their eyes from seeing, And their loins continually shake Thou.
69:24 Pour upon them Thine indignation, And the fierceness of Thine anger doth seize them.
69:25 Their tower is desolated, In their tents there is no dweller.
69:26 For they have pursued him Thou hast smitten, And recount of the pain of Thy pierced ones.
69:27 Give punishment for their iniquity, And they enter not into Thy righteousness.
69:28 They are blotted out of the book of life, And with the righteous are not written.
69:29 And I [am] afflicted and pained, Thy salvation, O God, doth set me on high.
69:30 I praise the name of God with a song, And I magnify Him with thanksgiving,
69:31 And it is better to Jehovah than an ox, A bullock -- horned -- hoofed.
69:32 The humble have seen -- they rejoice, Ye who seek God -- and your heart liveth.
69:33 For Jehovah hearkeneth unto the needy, And His bound ones He hath not despised.
69:34 The heavens and earth do praise Him, Seas, and every moving thing in them.
69:35 For God doth save Zion, And doth build the cities of Judah, And they have dwelt there, and possess it.
69:36 And the seed of His servants inherit it, And those loving His name dwell in it!

70:1 To the Overseer, by David. -- `To cause to remember.` O God, to deliver me, O Jehovah, for my help, haste.
70:2 Let them be ashamed and confounded Who are seeking my soul, Let them be turned backward and blush Who are desiring my evil.
70:3 Let them turn back because of their shame, Who are saying, `Aha, aha.`
70:4 Let all those seeking Thee joy and be glad in Thee, And let those loving Thy salvation Say continually, `God is magnified.`
70:5 And I [am] poor and needy, O God, haste to me, My help and my deliverer [art] Thou, O Jehovah, tarry Thou not!
Psalms
71:1 In Thee, O Jehovah, I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed to the age.
71:2 In Thy righteousness Thou dost deliver me, And dost cause me to escape, Incline unto me Thine ear, and save me.
71:3 Be to me for a rock -- a habitation, To go in continually, Thou hast given command to save me, For my rock and my bulwark [art] Thou.
71:4 O my God, cause me to escape From the hand of the wicked, From the hand of the perverse and violent.
71:5 For Thou [art] my hope, O Lord Jehovah, My trust from my youth.
71:6 By Thee I have been supported from the womb, From my mother`s bowels Thou dost cut me out, In Thee [is] my praise continually.
71:7 As a wonder I have been to many, And Thou [art] my strong refuge.
71:8 Filled is my mouth [with] Thy praise, All the day [with] Thy beauty.
71:9 Cast me not off at the time of old age, According to the consumption of my power forsake me not.
71:10 For mine enemies have spoken against me, And those watching my soul have taken counsel together,
71:11 Saying, `God hath forsaken him, Pursue and catch him, for there is no deliverer.`
71:12 O God, be not far from me, O my God, for my help make haste.
71:13 They are ashamed, they are consumed, Who are opposing my soul, They are covered [with] reproach and blushing, Who are seeking my evil,
71:14 And I continually do wait with hope, And have added unto all Thy praise.
71:15 My mouth recounteth Thy righteousness, All the day Thy salvation, For I have not known the numbers.
71:16 I come in the might of the Lord Jehovah, I mention Thy righteousness -- Thine only.
71:17 God, Thou hast taught me from my youth, And hitherto I declare Thy wonders.
71:18 And also unto old age and grey hairs, O God, forsake me not, Till I declare Thy strength to a generation, To every one that cometh Thy might.
71:19 And Thy righteousness, O God, [is] unto the heights, Because Thou hast done great things, O God, who [is] like Thee?
71:20 Because Thou hast showed me many and sad distresses, Thou turnest back -- Thou revivest me, And from the depths of the earth, Thou turnest back -- Thou bringest me up.
71:21 Thou dost increase my greatness, And Thou surroundest -- Thou comfortest me,
71:22 I also thank Thee with a vessel of psaltery, Thy truth, O my God, I sing to Thee with a harp, O Holy One of Israel,
71:23 My lips cry aloud when I sing praise to Thee, And my soul that Thou hast redeemed,
71:24 My tongue also all the day uttereth Thy righteousness, Because ashamed -- because confounded, Have been those seeking my evil!
Psalms
72:1 By Solomon. O God, Thy judgments to the king give, And Thy righteousness to the king`s son.
72:2 He judgeth Thy people with righteousness, And Thy poor with judgment.
72:3 The mountains bear peace to the people, And the heights by righteousness.
72:4 He judgeth the poor of the people, Giveth deliverance to the sons of the needy, And bruiseth the oppressor.
72:5 They fear Thee with the sun, and before the moon, Generation -- generations.
72:6 He cometh down as rain on mown grass, As showers -- sprinkling the earth.
72:7 Flourish in his days doth the righteous, And abundance of peace till the moon is not.
72:8 And he ruleth from sea unto sea, And from the river unto the ends of earth.
72:9 Before him bow do the inhabitants of the dry places, And his enemies lick the dust.
72:10 Kings of Tarshish and of the isles send back a present. Kings of Sheba and Seba a reward bring near.
72:11 And all kings do bow themselves to him, All nations do serve him,
72:12 For he delivereth the needy who crieth, And the poor when he hath no helper,
72:13 He hath pity on the poor and needy, And the souls of the needy he saveth,
72:14 From fraud and from violence he redeemeth their soul, And precious is their blood in his eyes.
72:15 And he liveth, and giveth to him of the gold of Sheba, And prayeth for him continually, All the day he doth bless him.
72:16 There is a handful of corn in the earth, On the top of mountains, Shake like Lebanon doth its fruit, And they flourish out of the city as the herb of the earth.
72:17 His name is to the age, Before the sun is his name continued, And they bless themselves in him, All nations do pronounce him happy.
72:18 Blessed is Jehovah God, God of Israel, He alone is doing wonders,
72:19 And blessed [is] the Name of His honour to the age, And the whole earth is filled [with] His honour. Amen, and amen!
72:20 The prayers of David son of Jesse have been ended.
Psalms
73:1 A Psalm of Asaph. Only -- good to Israel [is] God, to the clean of heart. And I -- as a little thing, My feet have been turned aside,
73:2 As nothing, have my steps slipped, For I have been envious of the boastful,
73:3 The peace of the wicked I see, That there are no bands at their death,
73:4 And their might [is] firm.
73:5 In the misery of mortals they are not, And with common men they are not plagued.
73:6 Therefore hath pride encircled them, Violence covereth them as a dress.
73:7 Their eye hath come out from fat. The imaginations of the heart transgressed;
73:8 They do corruptly, And they speak in the wickedness of oppression, From on high they speak.
73:9 They have set in the heavens their mouth, And their tongue walketh in the earth.
73:10 Therefore do His people return hither, And waters of fulness are wrung out to them.
73:11 And they have said, `How hath God known? And is there knowledge in the Most High?`
73:12 Lo, these [are] the wicked and easy ones of the age, They have increased strength.
73:13 Only -- a vain thing! I have purified my heart, And I wash in innocency my hands,
73:14 And I am plagued all the day, And my reproof [is] every morning.
73:15 If I have said, `I recount thus,` Lo, a generation of Thy sons I have deceived.
73:16 And I think to know this, Perverseness it [is] in mine eyes,
73:17 Till I come in to the sanctuaries of God, I attend to their latter end.
73:18 Only, in slippery places Thou dost set them, Thou hast caused them to fall to desolations.
73:19 How have they become a desolation as in a moment, They have been ended -- consumed from terrors.
73:20 As a dream from awakening, O Lord, In awaking, their image Thou despisest.
73:21 For my heart doth show itself violent, And my reins prick themselves,
73:22 And I am brutish, and do not know. A beast I have been with Thee.
73:23 And I [am] continually with Thee, Thou hast laid hold on my right hand.
73:24 With Thy counsel Thou dost lead me, And after honour dost receive me.
73:25 Whom have I in the heavens? And with Thee none I have desired in earth.
73:26 Consumed hath been my flesh and my heart, The rock of my heart and my portion [is] God to the age.
73:27 For, lo, those far from Thee do perish, Thou hast cut off every one, Who is going a whoring from Thee.
73:28 And I -- nearness of God to me [is] good, I have placed in the Lord Jehovah my refuge, To recount all Thy works!
Psalms
74:1 An Instruction of Asaph. Why, O God, hast Thou cast off for ever? Thine anger smoketh against the flock of Thy pasture.
74:2 Remember Thy company. Thou didst purchase of old, Thou didst redeem the rod of Thy inheritance, This mount Zion -- Thou didst dwell in it.
74:3 Lift up Thy steps to the perpetual desolations, Everything the enemy did wickedly in the sanctuary.
74:4 Roared have thine adversaries, In the midst of Thy meeting-places, They have set their ensigns as ensigns.
74:5 He is known as one bringing in on high Against a thicket of wood -- axes.
74:6 And now, its carvings together With axe and hatchet they break down,
74:7 They have sent into fire Thy sanctuary, to the earth they polluted the tabernacle of Thy name,
74:8 They said in their hearts, `Let us oppress them together,` They did burn all the meeting-places of God in the land.
74:9 Our ensigns we have not seen, There is no more a prophet, Nor with us is one knowing how long.
74:10 Till when, O God, doth an adversary reproach? Doth an enemy despise thy name for ever?
74:11 Why dost Thou turn back Thy hand, Even Thy right hand? From the midst of Thy bosom remove [it].
74:12 And God [is] my king of old, Working salvation in the midst of the earth.
74:13 Thou hast broken by Thy strength a sea-[monster], Thou hast shivered Heads of dragons by the waters,
74:14 Thou hast broken the heads of leviathan, Thou makest him food, For the people of the dry places.
74:15 Thou hast cleaved a fountain and a stream, Thou hast dried up perennial flowings.
74:16 Thine [is] the day, also Thine [is] the night, Thou hast prepared a light giver -- the sun.
74:17
