Psa 1:1 <BOOK THE FIRST> ¶ How happy the man, who hath not walked in the counsel of the lawless,––and, in the way of sinners, hath not stood, and, in the seat of scoffers, hath not sat;
Psa 1:2 But, in the law of Yahweh, is his delight,––and, in his law, doth he talk with himself day and night.
Psa 1:3 So doth he become like a tree planted by streams of waters,––that yieldeth, its fruit, in its season, whose leaf, also doth not wither, and, whatsoever he doeth, prospereth.
Psa 1:4 ¶ Not so, the lawless,––but as chaff which is driven about by the wind:
Psa 1:5 For this cause, shall the lawless not stand in the judgment,––nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
Psa 1:6 For Yahweh doth acknowledge the way of the righteous; but, the way of the lawless, shall vanish.
Psa 2:1 ¶ Wherefore have nations assembled in tumult? Or should, peoples, mutter an empty thing?
Psa 2:2 The kings of earth take their station, and, grave men, have met by appointment together,––against Yahweh, and against his Anointed One [saying]:
Psa 2:3 Let us break asunder their bonds,––and cast from us their cords!
Psa 2:4 He that sitteth in the heavens, will laugh,––My Lord, will mock at them:
Psa 2:5 Then, will he speak unto them in his anger, and, in his wrath, confound them:
Psa 2:6 Yet, I, have installed my king,––on Zion my holy mountain.
Psa 2:7 ¶ Let me tell of a decree,––Yahweh, hath said unto me, My son, thou art, I, today, have begotten thee:
Psa 2:8 Ask of me, and let me give nations as thine inheritance, and, as thy possession, the ends of the earth:
Psa 2:9 Thou shalt shepherd them with a sceptre of iron,––as a potter’s vessel, shalt thou dash them in pieces.
Psa 2:10 ¶ Now, therefore, ye kings, show your prudence, Be admonished, ye judges of earth:
Psa 2:11 Serve Yahweh with reverence, and exult with trembling:
Psa 2:12 Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and ye perish by the way, for soon might be kindled his anger,––How happy are all who seek refuge in him!
Psa 3:1 ¶ <A Melody of David, when he fled from before Absolom his son.> Yahweh! how have mine adversaries multiplied, Multitudes, are rising against me;
Psa 3:2 Multitudes, are saying of my soul,––No salvation for him in God. [Selah.]
Psa 3:3 But, thou, Yahweh, art a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
Psa 3:4 ¶ With my voice––unto Yahweh, do I cry, and he hath answered me out of his holy mountain. [Selah.]
Psa 3:5 I, laid me down and slept,––I awoke, Surely, Yahweh, sustaineth me!
Psa 3:6 I will not be afraid of myriads of people, who, round about, have set themselves against me.
Psa 3:7 Rise! Yahweh, Save me, my God. Surely thou hast smitten all my foes on the cheekbone, The teeth of the lawless, hast thou broken.
Psa 3:8 To Yahweh, belongeth Salvation! Upon thy people, be thy blessing. [Selah.]
Psa 4:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician: with stringed instruments. A Melody of David.> When I cry, answer me, O mine own righteous God, In a strait place, thou hast made room for me, Show me favour, and hear my prayer.
Psa 4:2 Ye sons of the great! how long, turning my glory to contempt, will ye love emptiness, will ye seek falsehood? [Selah.]
Psa 4:3 Know ye, then, that Yahweh hath set apart the man of lovingkindness for himself: Yahweh, will hear, when I cry to him.
Psa 4:4 Be deeply moved, but do not sin,––Ponder in your own heart upon your bed, and be silent. [Selah.]
Psa 4:5 Sacrifice the sacrifices of righteousness; and put your trust in Yahweh.
Psa 4:6 ¶ Multitudes, are saying, Who will show us prosperity? Lift thou upon us the light of thy countenance, O Yahweh.
Psa 4:7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart,––beyond the season when, their corn and their new wine, have increased.
Psa 4:8 In peace, will I lay me down and at once sleep; for, thou, Yahweh alone, wilt cause me, in security, to dwell.
Psa 5:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. For the Flutes. A Melody of David.> To my words, give ear, O Yahweh, Understand thou my softly murmured prayer:
Psa 5:2 Attend to the voice of my cry, my King and my God, for, unto thee, do I pray.
Psa 5:3 O Yahweh! in the morning, shalt thou hear my voice, In the morning, will I set in order unto thee, and keep watch;
Psa 5:4 For, not a GOD finding pleasure in lawlessness, art thou, and wrong can be no guest of thine:
Psa 5:5 Boasters, shall not station themselves, before thine eyes,––Thou hatest all workers of iniquity:
Psa 5:6 Thou wilt destroy them who speak falsehood,––The man of bloodshed and of deceit, Yahweh abhorreth.
Psa 5:7 ¶ But, I, in the abounding of thy lovingkindness, will enter thy house, I will bow down towards thy holy temple, in reverence of thee:
Psa 5:8 O Yahweh! lead me in thy righteousness, because of mine adversaries, Make even, before me, thy way:
Psa 5:9 For in his mouth is nothing worthy of trust, Their inward purpose, is engulfing ruin,––An opened sepulchre, is their throat, With their tongue, speak they smooth things.
Psa 5:10 Declare them guilty, O God, Let them fall by their own counsels,––Into the throng of their own transgressions, thrust them down, For they have rebelled against thee:––
Psa 5:11 That all may rejoice who seek refuge in thee, to times age–abiding, may shout in triumph, that thou wilt protect them, and they may leap for joy in thee who are lovers of thy Name.
Psa 5:12 For, thou, wilt bless the righteous man, O Yahweh, As with an all–covering shield––with good pleasure, wilt thou encompass him.
Psa 6:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician, with stringed Instruments upon the eighth. A Melody of David.> O Yahweh! do not, in thine anger, correct me, nor, in thy wrath, chastise me.
Psa 6:2 Show me favour, O Yahweh, for languishing am I: Heal me, O Yahweh,––for dismayed are my bones:
Psa 6:3 Yea, my soul, is dismayed greatly, Thou, then, O Yahweh––how long?
Psa 6:4 Return, O Yahweh, deliver my soul, Save me, for the sake of thy lovingkindness;
Psa 6:5 For, in death, is no remembrance of thee,––In hades, who shall give thanks unto thee?
Psa 6:6 I am weary with my sighing, I flood, through the whole night, my couch,––With my tears, I cause, my bed, to dissolve:
Psa 6:7 My face, is all sunken with sorrow,––it hath aged, because of all mine adversaries.
Psa 6:8 ¶ Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity, for Yahweh hath heard the voice of my weeping:
Psa 6:9 Yahweh, hath heard my supplication, Yahweh, will receive, my prayer.
Psa 6:10 Let all my foes, turn pale and be greatly dismayed, Again let them turn pale in a moment.
Psa 7:1 ¶ <Ode of David: which he sang unto Yahweh, on account of the words of Cush the Benjamite.> O Yahweh my God, in thee, have I sought refuge,––Save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me:
Psa 7:2 Lest one tear, as a lion, my soul,––and there be no deliverer to rescue.
Psa 7:3 O Yahweh my God, If I have done this, If there hath been perversity in my hands:
Psa 7:4 If I have requited my friend with wrong,––or have oppressed mine adversary without need,
Psa 7:5 Let an enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it, that he may tread down, to the earth, my life,––and, mine honour––in the dust, he may cause to dwell. [Selah.]
Psa 7:6 Rise! Yahweh! in thine anger, Lift thyself up, because of the haughty outbursts of mine adversaries, Stir up for me the justice thou hast commanded:
Psa 7:7 When, the assembly of peoples, gather round thee, then, above it––on high, do thou return!
Psa 7:8 Yahweh, will judge the peoples,––Do me justice, O Yahweh, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity upon me,
Psa 7:9 Let the wrong of the lawless, I pray thee, come to an end, and establish thou him that is righteous,––for, a trier of hearts and reins, is God the righteous one.
Psa 7:10 ¶ My shield, is held by God, who is ready to save the upright in heart:
Psa 7:11 A God to vindicate the righteous,––And yet a God to be indignant throughout every day.
Psa 7:12 If he turn not, his sword, will he whet,––his bow, hath he bent, and made ready:
Psa 7:13 But, for himself, hath he made ready the weapons so deadly, His arrows, he, so fiery, would make:
Psa 7:14 Lo! he gendereth trouble, and conceiveth mischief, but giveth birth to a disappointment:
Psa 7:15 A pit, he cut out, and digged it, and then fell into the ditch he had made:
Psa 7:16 His mischief, turneth back, on his own head,––and, on his own crown, his violence, descendeth.
Psa 7:17 I will praise Yahweh according to his righteousness,––and will praise in song the Name of Yahweh Most High.
Psa 8:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. On "the Gittith." A Melody of David.> O Yahweh, our Lord! How majestic is thy Name, in all the earth, Who hast set thy splendour upon the heavens.
Psa 8:2 Out of the mouth of children and sucklings, hast thou laid a foundation of strength,––because of thine adversaries, to make foe and avenger be still.
Psa 8:3 ¶ When I view thy heavens, the work, of thy fingers, moon and stars, which thou hast established,
Psa 8:4 What was weak man, that thou shouldst make mention of him? or the son of the earthborn, that thou shouldst set him in charge?
Psa 8:5 That thou shouldst make him little less than messengers of God, with glory and honour, shouldst crown him?
Psa 8:6 Shouldst give him dominion over the works of thy hands,––All things, shouldst have put under his feet:
Psa 8:7 Sheep and oxen, all of them,––yea even the beasts of the field;
Psa 8:8 The bird of the heavens, and the fishes of the sea,–– the passer–by on the paths of the seas?
Psa 8:9 O Yahweh, our Lord! How majestic is thy Name, in all the earth.
Psa 9:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. On "Muthlabben." A Melody of David.> I will praise Yahweh with all my heart, I will recount all thy wonderful doings:
Psa 9:2 I will rejoice and exult in thee, I will praise in song, thy Name, O most High.
Psa 9:3 When mine enemies turned back, they stumbled and perished from before thee;
Psa 9:4 For thou hast executed my right and my cause, Thou hast sat on the throne, judging righteously:
Psa 9:5 Thou hast rebuked the nations, Thou hast destroyed the lawless one, Their name, hast thou wiped out, to times age–abiding and beyond.
Psa 9:6 O enemy! complete are the desolations, evermore,––even cities, hast thou uprooted, The memory of, them, hath perished.
Psa 9:7 But, Yahweh, unto times age–abiding, will sit, Ready for judgment, is his throne;
Psa 9:8 And, he, will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to peoples, in uprightness.
Psa 9:9 Thus be Yahweh a refuge for the crushed one, a refuge for times of destitution:
Psa 9:10 Thus let them who know thy Name, put confidence in thee, that thou hast not forsaken the searchers for thee, O Yahweh.
Psa 9:11 ¶ Sing ye praise to Yahweh, who is seated in Zion, Tell among the peoples his doings.
Psa 9:12 When he was making inquisition for blood, of them, had he remembrance, he forgat not the outcry of the oppressed.
Psa 9:13 Show me favour, O Yahweh! Behold my humiliation due to them who hate me, Lift me on high out of the gates of death;
Psa 9:14 That I may recount all thy praises, In the gates of the daughter of Zion, may exult in thy salvation.
Psa 9:15 The nations, have sunk, in the pit they had made, In the net which they had hidden, is caught their own foot.
Psa 9:16 To be known is Yahweh, by the sentence he hath executed, By the doing of his own hands, is he about to strike down the lawless one. [Resounding music. Selah.]
Psa 9:17 The lawless, shall return, to hades, all nations forgetful of God.
Psa 9:18 For, not always, shall the needy, be forgotten,––[Nor,] the hope of the oppressed, perish for ever.
Psa 9:19 Rise! Yahweh! let man not prevail, let the nations be judged before thee.
Psa 9:20 Appoint, O Yahweh, a terror for them,––Let the nations know [that] they are men. [Selah.]
Psa 10:1 ¶ Wherefore, O Yahweh, shouldst thou stand afar off? [Wherefore] hide thyself, in times of destitution?
Psa 10:2 In the pride of the lawless one, he hotly pursueth the poor, let them be caught in the plots which they have devised!
Psa 10:3 For the lawless one hath boasted over the longing of his soul, and, the robber, hath blasphemed Yahweh.
Psa 10:4 The lawless one, in the loftiness of his countenance, will not enquire, God is not in any of his plots:
Psa 10:5 His ways are firm at all times, On high, are thy righteous regulations, out of his sight, As for all his adversaries, he puffeth at them:
Psa 10:6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be shaken,––From generation to generation, shall I be in no misfortune.
Psa 10:7 With cursing, his mouth is full, and with deceptions and oppression, Under his tongue, are trouble and mischief:
Psa 10:8 He abideth in the lurking–place of villages, In the hiding–places, he murdereth the innocent,––His eyes, for the unfortunate, are on the watch:
Psa 10:9 He lieth in wait in a hiding–place, like a lion in his covert, He lieth in wait to catch the humbled, He catcheth the humbled, by drawing him into his net:
Psa 10:10 He croucheth, he lieth down, then falleth he with his strong claws upon the unfortunate.
Psa 10:11 He hath said in his heart, GOD hath forgotten,––He hath veiled his face, Oh he hath never seen!
Psa 10:12 ¶ Arise! Yahweh! O GOD! raise thy hand,––Do not forget the patient!
Psa 10:13 Wherefore hath the lawless one blasphemed God? He hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require [it]!
Psa 10:14 Thou hast seen! For, thou, mischief and misery, dost discern, to requite with thine own hand, Unto thee, doth, the unfortunate one, give himself up, To the fatherless, thou thyself, hast become a helper.
Psa 10:15 Shatter thou the arm of the lawless one, And, as for the wrongful, wilt thou not enquire for his lawlessness––wilt thou not find [it]?
Psa 10:16 Yahweh, is king, to times age–abiding and beyond, The nations have perished out of his land.
Psa 10:17 The longing of the patient, thou hast heard, O Yahweh, Thou wilt establish their heart, Thou wilt make attentive thine ear:
Psa 10:18 To vindicate the fatherless and the crushed, A man of the earth, shall, no further, cause terror!
Psa 11:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. David’s.> In Yahweh, have I sought refuge. How can ye say to my soul, Flee to a mountain like a little bird;
Psa 11:2 For lo! the lawless, bend the bow They have fixed their arrow upon the string, To shoot in the darkness at the upright in heart:
Psa 11:3 When the pillars are overthrown, What could, a righteous man, do?
Psa 11:4 ¶ Yahweh, is in his holy temple As for Yahweh, in the heavens, is his throne, His eyes, behold––His eyelashes test the sons of men.
Psa 11:5 Yahweh, putteth, the righteous, to the test,––But the lawless one and the lover of violence, his soul doth hate.
Psa 11:6 He will rain upon the lawless live–coals, Fire and brimstone and a burning wind, are the portion of their cup.
Psa 11:7 For righteous is Yahweh Righteousness, he loveth, the upright, shall behold his face.
Psa 12:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. On the Octave. A Melody of David.> O save Yahweh, for the man of lovingkindness, is no more, for the faithful, have vanished, from among the sons of men.
Psa 12:2 Deception, speak they, every one with his neighbour,––with lips uttering smooth things––with a heart and a heart, do they speak.
Psa 12:3 May Yahweh cut off All the lips that utter smooth things,––the tongue that speaketh swelling words;
Psa 12:4 Them who say––With our tongue, will we prevail, our lips, are our own, who is our master?
Psa 12:5 Because of violence done to the poor, because of the crying of the needy, Now, will I arise! O may Yahweh say,––I will place [him] in safety––let him puff at him!
Psa 12:6 The words of Yahweh, are words, that are pure, silver refined in a crucible of earth, purified seven times!
Psa 12:7 Thou, O Yahweh, wilt keep them,––Thou wilt guard him, from this generation unto times age–abiding.
Psa 12:8 On every side, the lawless, march about,––when worthlessness is exalted by the sons of men.
Psa 13:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David.> How long, O Yahweh, wilt thou wholly forget me? How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
Psa 13:2 How long shall I lay up cares within my soul, sorrow in my heart, day by day? How long shall mine enemy lift himself up over me?
Psa 13:3 Have regard! answer me O Yahweh my God,––Light up mine eyes, lest I sleep on into death:
Psa 13:4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed over him! and, mine adversaries, exult, that I totter.
Psa 13:5 But, I, in thy lovingkindness, have put my trust, My heart shall exult in thy salvation:
Psa 13:6 I will sing to Yahweh, for he hath dealt beautifully with me.
Psa 14:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. David’s.> The impious hath said in his heart––There is no God! They have acted corruptly, they have done an abominable deed, there is none that doeth good.
Psa 14:2 Yahweh, out of the heavens, looked down over the sons of men,––to see whether there was one that showed wisdom, enquiring after God:––
Psa 14:3 The whole, have turned aside, Together have they become tainted,––There is none that doeth good, not so much as, one!
Psa 14:4 ¶ Are all the workers of iniquity, without knowledge? devouring my people [as] they devour food! Upon Yahweh, have they not called.
Psa 14:5 There have they been in great dread, because, God, is in the circle of the righteous man.
Psa 14:6 The purpose of the poor, ye would put to shame, because, Yahweh, is his refuge.
Psa 14:7 Oh that, out of Zion, were granted the salvation of Israel! When Yahweh bringeth back the captives of his people, Jacob, shall exult, Israel, be glad.
Psa 15:1 ¶ <A Melody of David.> O Yahweh! Who shall be a guest in thy tent? Who shall abide in thy holy mountain?
Psa 15:2 He that walketh without blame, and doeth what is right, and speaketh truth with his heart;
Psa 15:3 Hath not carried slander on his tongue, hath not done his friend a wrong, nor, a reproach, taken up against his neighbour;
Psa 15:4 Despised in his sight, is the reprobate, but, them who revere Yahweh, he doth honour, he hath sworn to his neighbour, and will not change;
Psa 15:5 His silver, hath he not put out on interest, nor, a bribe against the innocent, hath he taken. He that doeth these things, shall not be shaken unto times age–abiding.
Psa 16:1 ¶ <A Precious Psalm of David.> Preserve me, O GOD, for I have sought refuge in thee.
Psa 16:2 Thou hast said unto Yahweh, My Lord, art thou! My goodness, mounteth not unto thee.
Psa 16:3 It belongeth unto the holy ones, whom, in his own land, Yahweh, ennobleth, In whom is all his delight
Psa 16:4 They multiply their idols––another, have they purchased! I will not pour out their drink–offerings of blood, nor will I take up their names on my lips.
Psa 16:5 Yahweh, is mine allotted portion and my cup, Thou, art maintaining my lot.
Psa 16:6 The lines, have fallen unto me, in pleasant places, Verily an inheritance that delighteth me.
Psa 16:7 I will bless Yahweh, who hath counselled me,––Surely, by night, shall mine impulses admonish me.
Psa 16:8 ¶ I have set Yahweh before me continually, because he is on my right hand, I shall not be shaken!
Psa 16:9 Therefore, hath my heart rejoiced, and mine honour exulted, Yea, my flesh, shall settle down securely;
Psa 16:10 For thou wilt not abandon my soul to hades, neither wilt thou suffer thy man of lovingkindness, to see corruption:
Psa 16:11 Thou wilt cause me to know, the path of life,––Fulness of joys before thee, Pleasures at thy right hand evermore.
Psa 17:1 ¶ <A Prayer of David.> Hear, O Yahweh, the right, Attend to my loud cry, Give ear unto my prayer, on lips that would not deceive:
Psa 17:2 From before thee, let my sentence come forth, Thine eyes, behold with equity.
Psa 17:3 Thou hast tested my heart, hast made inspection by night, hast refined me until thou couldst find nothing, Had I devised evil, my mouth should not have transgressed:
Psa 17:4 As for the workings of men, By the word of thy lips, have, I, taken heed of the paths of the violent one.
Psa 17:5 Thou hast held fast my goings on to thy ways, My footsteps have not been shaken:
Psa 17:6 I, have called upon thee, for thou wilt answer me, O GOD,––Incline thine ear unto me, Hear thou my speech:
Psa 17:7 Let thy lovingkindness be distinguished, thou Saviour of such as seek refuge from them who lift themselves up against thy right hand.
Psa 17:8 ¶ Guard me, as the pupil of the eye,––Under the shadow of thy wings, wilt thou hide me:
Psa 17:9 From the face of lawless ones who have treated me with violence, the foes of my soul, who come round against me:
Psa 17:10 Their own fat [heart], have they shut up,––With their mouth, have they spoken proudly.
Psa 17:11 As for our own goings, now, have they surrounded us,––Their eyes, they fix, bending to the earth:
Psa 17:12 His likeness, is as a lion, that longeth to rend, and as a young lion, lurking in secret places.
Psa 17:13 Rise, Yahweh! Confront his face, Bring him down, Deliver my soul from the lawless one [who is] thy sword:
Psa 17:14 From men [who are] thy hand, O Yahweh, From the men of this age, whose portion, is among the living, and, with thy treasure, thou fillest their bosom,––They must be satisfied with sons, And must leave their abundance to their children:––
Psa 17:15 I, in righteousness, shall behold thy face, Shall be satisfied when awakened by a vision of thee.
Psa 18:1 ¶ <To the chief Musician. Of the servant of Yahweh, of David,––who spake unto Yahweh the words of this song,––in the day when Yahweh had rescued him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul; and he said:––> I will love thee, O Yahweh my strength!
Psa 18:2 Yahweh, was my mountain crag and my stronghold, and my deliverer: My GOD, was my rock, I sought refuge in him, My shield, and my horn of salvation, my high tower.
Psa 18:3 As one worthy to be praised, called I on Yahweh,––And, from my foes, was I saved.
Psa 18:4 The meshes of death encompassed me, The torrents of perdition, made me afraid;
Psa 18:5 The meshes of hades, had surrounded me, The snares of death, had confronted me,
Psa 18:6 In my distress, called I on Yahweh, And, unto my God, made outcry for help, He heard, out of his temple, my voice, And my outcry for help came before him––entered into his ears!
Psa 18:7 Then did the earth shake and quake, Even, the foundations of the mountains, were deeply moved, Yea they did shake, because he was angry.
Psa 18:8 There went up smoke in his nostrils, and, a fire out of his mouth, devoured, Live coals, were kindled from it:
Psa 18:9 Then he stretched out the heaven, and came down,––and, thick gloom, was under his feet;
Psa 18:10 Then he rode on a cherub, and flew, and darted on the wings of the wind;
Psa 18:11 Made darkness his hiding–place, Round about him––his pavilion, Darkness of waters, clouds of vapours.
Psa 18:12 Out of the brightness before him, his clouds rolled along, hail, and live coals of fire.
Psa 18:13 Then did Yahweh thunder in the heavens, and the Highest uttered his voice,––hail, and live coals of fire.
Psa 18:14 And he sent forth his arrows and scattered them, yea, lightnings, he shot out, and confused them.
Psa 18:15 Then appeared the channels of waters, were uncovered the foundations of the world,––At thy rebuke O Yahweh, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
Psa 18:16 He sent from on high, he took me,––he drew me out of many waters.
Psa 18:17 He rescued me from my foe, in his might, and from them who hated me, because they were too strong for me:
Psa 18:18 They confronted me, in the day of my necessity, Then became Yahweh my stay:
Psa 18:19 And brought me out, into a large place, he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
Psa 18:20 ¶ Yahweh rewarded me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, he repaid me;
Psa 18:21 For I had kept the ways of Yahweh, and not broken away from my God;
Psa 18:22 For, all his regulations, were before me, and, his statutes, did I not put from me:
Psa 18:23 So became I blameless with him, and kept myself from mine iniquity.
Psa 18:24 Yahweh therefore repaid me according to my righteousness, according to the pureness of my hands, before his eyes.
Psa 18:25 With the loving, thou didst show thyself loving,––With the blameless man, thou didst show thyself blameless;
Psa 18:26 With the pure, thou didst show thyself pure, But, with the perverse, thou didst show thyself ready to contend.
Psa 18:27 For, as for thee, an oppressed people, thou didst save, but, looks that were lofty, layedst thou low;
Psa 18:28 For, thou, didst light up my lamp, Yahweh my God, enlightened my darkness;
Psa 18:29 ¶ For, by thee, I ran through a troop, and, by my God, I leapt over a wall.
Psa 18:30 As for GOD, blameless is his way, The speech of Yahweh hath been proved, A shield, he is to all who seek refuge in him.
Psa 18:31 For who is a GOD, save Yahweh? And who is a Rock, save our God?
Psa 18:32 The GOD who girded me with strength, and set forth, as blameless, my way:
Psa 18:33 Planting my feet like hinds’ [feet], yea, on my high places, he caused me to stand:
Psa 18:34 Teaching my hands to war,––so that a bow of bronze was bent by mine arms.
Psa 18:35 Thus didst thou grant me, as a shield, thy salvation,––and, thy right hand, sustained me, and, thy condescension, made me great.
Psa 18:36 Thou didst widen my stepping–places under me, so that, mine ankles, faltered not.
Psa 18:37 I pursued my foes, and overtook them, and returned not, till they were consumed:
Psa 18:38 I crushed them, and they were unable to rise, They fell under my feet.
Psa 18:39 Thus didst thou gird me with strength, for the battle, Thou subduedst mine assailants under me.
Psa 18:40 As for my foes, thou didst give me their neck, and, as for them who hated me, I destroyed them.
Psa 18:41 They cried out, but there was none to save, unto Yahweh, but he answered them not.
Psa 18:42 Then did I beat them in pieces, like dust on the face of the wind. Like the mire in the lanes, did I scatter them.
Psa 18:43 Thus didst thou rescue me from the contentions of a people,––didst appoint me to be the head of nations, A people I had not known, served me:
Psa 18:44 At the hearing of the ear, they submitted to me, the sons of the foreigner, came cringing unto me:
Psa 18:45 The sons of the foreigner, lost heart, and came quaking out of their fortresses.
Psa 18:46 Yahweh liveth and, blessed, be my Rock, yea, exalted, be the God of my salvation:
Psa 18:47 The GOD, who hath avenged me,––and subjugated peoples under me:
Psa 18:48 Who hath delivered me from my foes,––Yea, from mine assailants, hast thou set me on high, From the man of violence, hast thou rescued me.
Psa 18:49 For this cause, will I praise thee among the nations, O Yahweh, and, to thy Name, will I sweep the strings:––
Psa 18:50 Who hath made great the victories of his King,––and shown lovingkindness to his Anointed One, To David and to his Seed, Unto times age–abiding.
Psa 19:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David.> The heavens, are telling the glory of GOD, And, the work of his hands, the expanse is declaring;
Psa 19:2 Day, unto day, doth pour forth speech, and, night, unto night, doth breathe out knowledge.
Psa 19:3 There is no speech, and there are no words,––Unheard is their voice!
Psa 19:4 [Yet] through all the earth, hath gone forth their voice,––and, to the end of the world, their sayings,––For the sun, hath he set up a tent therein;
Psa 19:5 And, he, is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, he rejoiceth as a hero to run a race:
Psa 19:6 From one end of the heavens, is his going forth, and, his circuit, to the other end thereof––and, nothing, is hid from his glowing heat.
Psa 19:7 ¶ The, law of Yahweh, is complete, Bringing back the soul, The, testimony of Yahweh, is confirmed, Making wise the simple;
Psa 19:8 The precepts of Yahweh, are right, Rejoicing the heart, The, commandment of Yahweh, is pure, Enlightening the eyes;
Psa 19:9 The, reverence of Yahweh, is clean, Enduring evermore,––The, decisions of Yahweh, are faithful, They are righteous, altogether:
Psa 19:10 More desirable, than gold, yea than much fine gold, Sweeter, also than honey, or than droppings from the comb.
Psa 19:11 Even thine own servant, taketh warning by them, In the keeping of them, great is the reward.
Psa 19:12 Mistakes, who perceiveth? From things that are hidden, acquit me:
Psa 19:13 Even from the presumptuous, keep back thy servant, May they not have dominion over me, Then, shall I be blameless, and shall be acquitted from great transgression:
Psa 19:14 The words of my mouth, and the soft utterance of my heart, shall come with acceptance, before thee, O Yahweh, my Rock and my Redeemer!
Psa 20:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David.> Yahweh answer thee, in the day of distress, The Name of the God of Jacob give thee safety;
Psa 20:2 Send thy help out of the sanctuary, and, out of Zion, sustain thee;
Psa 20:3 Remember every present of thine, and, thine ascending–sacrifice, esteem. [Selah.]
Psa 20:4 Give thee according to thy heart, and, all thy purposes, fulfill.
Psa 20:5 We will shout aloud in thy salvation, and, in the Name of our God, shall we become great, Yahweh fulfill all thy petitions.
Psa 20:6 ¶ Now, do I know that Yahweh, hath saved, his Anointed One,––He answereth him out of his holy heavens, by the mighty saving deeds of his own right hand.
Psa 20:7 These, by chariots, and, those, by horses, but, we, by the Name of Yahweh our God, will prevail.
Psa 20:8 They, have bowed down and fallen, but, we, have arisen, and stand upright.
Psa 20:9 Yahweh, hath saved the king. Answer us, then, on the day when we call.
Psa 21:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David.> O Yahweh, in thy strength, will the king rejoice, and, in thy salvation, how greatly will he exult!
Psa 21:2 The longing of his heart, hast thou given him, and, the request of his lips, hast thou not withheld. [Selah.]
Psa 21:3 For thou wilt come to meet him, with the blessings of goodness, Thou wilt set on his head, a crown of pure gold.
Psa 21:4 Life, he asked of thee, Thou hast given it him, length of days, to times age–abiding and beyond.
Psa 21:5 Great is his glory, in thy salvation, Honour and majesty, wilt thou lay upon him;
Psa 21:6 For thou wilt appoint him blessings evermore, wilt cheer him with joy by thy countenance;
Psa 21:7 ¶ For, the king, is trusting in Yahweh, and, in the lovingkindness of the Highest, shall he not be shaken.
Psa 21:8 Thy hand, will find out, all thy foes, Thine own right hand, will find out them who hate thee.
Psa 21:9 Thou wilt make them like a furnace of fire, at the time of thy presence,––Yahweh, in his anger, will swallow them up, and there shall consume them a fire:
Psa 21:10 Their fruit––out of the earth, wilt thou destroy, and their seed, from among the sons of men;
Psa 21:11 For they have held out, against thee, a wicked thing, They have devised a scheme they cannot accomplish.
Psa 21:12 For thou wilt cause them to turn their back, Upon thy bow–strings, wilt thou make ready against their face.
Psa 21:13 Be exalted, O Yahweh, in thy strength! With song and with string will we sound forth thy power.
Psa 22:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. On "the Hind of the Dawn." A Melody of David.> My GOD, my GOD, why hast thou forsaken me? Far from saving me, The words of my loud lamentation?
Psa 22:2 My God! I keep crying––By day, and thou dost not answer, and, By night, and there is no rest for me.
Psa 22:3 But, thou, art holy, Who inhabitest the praises of Israel.
Psa 22:4 In thee, trusted our fathers, They trusted, and thou didst deliver them;
Psa 22:5 Unto thee, made they outcry, and escaped, In thee, they trusted, and had not turned pale.
Psa 22:6 But, I, am a worm and no one, a reproach of men, and despised of a people;
Psa 22:7 All that see me, laugh at me,––They open wide the mouth, They shake the head:––
Psa 22:8 He should trust in Yahweh––let him deliver him,––Let him rescue him, seeing he delighteth in him.
Psa 22:9 For, thou, art he that severed me from the womb, he that caused me to trust, upon the breasts of my mother;
Psa 22:10 Upon thee, was I cast from the time I was born, From the womb of my mother, my GOD, hast thou been.
Psa 22:11 ¶ Be not far from me, for, distress, is near, For there is none to help.
Psa 22:12 Many bulls have surrounded me, Strong oxen of Bashan, have enclosed me;
Psa 22:13 They have opened wide against me their mouth, A lion rending and roaring.
Psa 22:14 Like water, am I poured out, and, put out of joint, are all my bones,––My heart, hath become, like wax, it is melted in the midst of my body;
Psa 22:15 Dried as a potsherd, is my strength, And, my tongue, is made to cleave to my gums, And, in the dust of death, wilt thou lay me.
Psa 22:16 For dogs have surrounded me,––An assembly of evil doers, have encircled me, They have pierced my hands and my feet,
Psa 22:17 I may tell all my bones, They, look for––they behold me!
Psa 22:18 They part my garments among them, and, for my vestment, they cast lots.
Psa 22:19 But, thou, O Yahweh, be not far off, O my help! to aid me, make haste;
Psa 22:20 Rescue, from the sword, my life, from the power of the dog, my solitary self:
Psa 22:21 Save me from the mouth of the lion,––Yea, from the horns of wild beasts, hast thou delivered me.
Psa 22:22 ¶ I will declare thy Name unto my brethren,––In the midst of the convocation, will I praise thee.
Psa 22:23 Ye that revere Yahweh, praise him, All ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him, And, stand in awe of him, all ye seed of Israel.
Psa 22:24 For he hath not despised nor abhorred the humbling of the patient one, neither hath he hid his face from him, but, when he cried for help unto him, he heard.
Psa 22:25 Of thee, is my praise in the great convocation, My vows, will I pay, before them who revere him.
Psa 22:26 The patient wronged–ones shall eat and be satisfied, They shall praise Yahweh, who are seekers of him, Let your heart live for aye.
Psa 22:27 All the ends of the earth, will remember and turn to Yahweh, Yea all the families of the nations, will bow themselves down before thee,
Psa 22:28 For, to Yahweh, belongeth the kingdom, And One to Rule over the nations.
Psa 22:29 All the great ones of the earth, shall eat and bow down, Before him shall kneel, all that go down to the dust, Even he who had not kept alive, his own soul!
Psa 22:30 My seed, shall serve him, It shall be recounted, of the Lord, to a generation that shall come:
Psa 22:31 That his righteousness may be declared to a people to be born, That he wrought with effect!
Psa 23:1 ¶ <A Melody of David.> Yahweh, is my shepherd––I shall not want:
Psa 23:2 In pastures of tender grass, he maketh me lie down, Unto restful waters, he leadeth me;
Psa 23:3 My life, he restoreth, He guideth me in right paths, for the sake of his Name.
Psa 23:4 Yea, though I walk through a valley death–shadowed, I will fear no harm, for, thou, art with me, Thy rod and thy staff, they, comfort me.
Psa 23:5 Thou spreadest before me a table, in face of mine adversaries, Thou hast anointed, with oil, my head, My cup, hath run over.
Psa 23:6 Surely, goodness and lovingkindness, will pursue me, all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of Yahweh, evermore.
Psa 24:1 ¶ <David’s. A Melody.> To Yahweh, belongeth, The earth and the fulness thereof, The world, and they who dwell therein;
Psa 24:2 For, he, upon the seas, hath founded it, and upon the currents, doth make it firm.
Psa 24:3 ¶ Who shall ascend the mountain of Yahweh? And who shall stand in his holy place?
Psa 24:4 The clean of hands, and pure of heart,––who hath not uplifted, to falsehood, his soul, nor sworn deceitfully,
Psa 24:5 Shall bear away a blessing from Yahweh, and righteousness, from his delivering God.
Psa 24:6 This, is the generation of them who inquire of him, who seek thy face, O God of Jacob. [Selah.]
Psa 24:7 ¶ Lift up, O ye gates, your heads, and lift yourselves up, ye age–abiding doors, That the king of glory may come in.
Psa 24:8 Who is the king of glory? Yahweh, strong and mighty, Yahweh, mighty in war.
Psa 24:9 Lift up, O ye gates, your heads, yea lift [them] up, ye age–abiding doors, That the king of glory may come in.
Psa 24:10 Who then is the king of glory? Yahweh of hosts, He, is the king of glory. [Selah.]
Psa 25:1 ¶ <David’s. [An Alphabetical Psalm.]> Unto thee, O Yahweh, my soul, would I lift:
Psa 25:2 O my God, in thee, have I put my trust, Let me not be put to shame, Let not my foe exult over me:
Psa 25:3 Yea let, none who wait for thee, be put to shame, Let them be put to shame who act covertly without cause!
Psa 25:4 Thy ways, O Yahweh, let me know, Thy paths, teach thou me:
Psa 25:5 Guide me into thy truth and teach me, for, thou, art my delivering God, For thee, have I waited all the day:
Psa 25:6 Remember thy compassions, O Yahweh, and thy lovingkindnesses, For, from age–past times, have they been.
Psa 25:7 The sins of my youth, and my transgressions, do not thou call to mind,––According to thine own lovingkindness, remember thou me, for the sake of thine own goodness, O Yahweh.
Psa 25:8 ¶ Good and upright, is Yahweh, For this cause, will he direct sinners into the way.
Psa 25:9 May he guide patient wronged–ones to be righted, and teach such oppressed–ones his way.
Psa 25:10 All the paths of Yahweh, are lovingkindness and faithfulness, to such as keep his covenant, and his testimonies.
Psa 25:11 For the sake of thy Name, O Yahweh, Therefore wilt thou pardon mine iniquity, for great it is.
Psa 25:12 Who then is the man that revereth Yahweh? Let him direct him into the way he should choose.
Psa 25:13 His soul, with prosperity, shall tarry, and, his seed, shall possess the land.
Psa 25:14 Intimacy with Yahweh, have they who revere him, His covenant also, he letteth them know.
Psa 25:15 ¶ Mine eyes, are continually unto Yahweh,––for, he, bringeth, out of the net, my feet.
Psa 25:16 Turn thou unto me, and show me favour, for, alone and oppressed, I am.
Psa 25:17 The distresses of my heart, hath he relieved,––and, out of my straits, brought me forth.
Psa 25:18 Behold my humiliation and my pain, and take away all my sins.
Psa 25:19 Behold my foes, for they abound,––and, with the hatred of violence, do they hate me.
Psa 25:20 Oh keep my soul, and rescue me, Let me not be put to shame, for I have sought refuge in thee.
Psa 25:21 Let, blamelessness and uprightness, watch over me, because I have waited for thee.
Psa 25:22 Redeem Israel, O God,––out of all his distresses.
Psa 26:1 ¶ <David’s.> Do me justice, O Yahweh, For, I, in my blamelessness, have walked, and, in Yahweh, have I trusted, I will not waver.
Psa 26:2 Try me, O Yahweh, and prove me, Test my reins and my heart:––
Psa 26:3 For, thy lovingkindness, hath been before mine eyes, and I have walked to and fro in thy faithfulness;
Psa 26:4 I have not sat with men of deceit, nor, with dissemblers, would I enter;
Psa 26:5 I have hated the convocation of evil–doers, and, with lawless men, would I not sit;
Psa 26:6 ¶ I will bathe, in pureness, my hands,––so will I go in procession around thine altar, O Yahweh;
Psa 26:7 To sound aloud a song, and to recount all thy wonderful doings.
Psa 26:8 O Yahweh, I have loved the asylum of thy house, even the place of the habitation of thy glory!
Psa 26:9 Do not remove, with sinners, my soul, nor, with men of bloodshed, my life;
Psa 26:10 In whose hands is a plot, and, their right hand, is filled with a bribe.
Psa 26:11 But, I, in my blamelessness, will walk, Redeem me and show me favour.
Psa 26:12 My foot standeth in a level place, In the convocations, will I bless Yahweh.
Psa 27:1 ¶ <David’s.> Yahweh, is my light and my salvation, Of whom shall I be afraid? Yahweh, is the refuge of my life, Of whom shall I be in dread?
Psa 27:2 When there drew near against me evil–doers to devour my flesh, mine adversaries, and mine enemies––mine!––they, stumbled and fell!
Psa 27:3 Though there pitch against me––a camp, my heart shall not fear,––Though there come up against me––a battle, still, am I confident.
Psa 27:4 One thing, have I asked of Yahweh, That, will I seek to secure,––That I may dwell in the house of Yahweh, all the days of my life, To view the delightfulness of Yahweh, And to contemplate in his temple.
Psa 27:5 For he will hide me in his pavilion, in the day of calamity,––He will conceal me, in the secrecy of his tent, Within a rock, will he set me on high.
Psa 27:6 Now, therefore, shall my head be raised high above my foes round about me, and I will sacrifice in his tent the sacrifices of triumphant joy, I will sing and touch the strings, to Yahweh.
Psa 27:7 ¶ Hear, O Yahweh, With my voice, do I cry, Oh then show me favour and answer me.
Psa 27:8 To thee, said my heart––[When thou saidst] Seek ye my face––Thy face, O Yahweh, will I seek!
Psa 27:9 Do not hide thy face from me, Do not repulse, in thine anger, thine own servant,––My help, thou hast been, Do not send me away nor forsake me, O my saving God!
Psa 27:10 When, my own father and mother, had forsaken me, Then, Yahweh, took me up!
Psa 27:11 Point out to me, O Yahweh, thy way,––And guide me in a level path, because of mine adversaries.
Psa 27:12 Do not give me up unto the desire of mine adversaries, for there have risen up against me witnesses that are false, and he that fanneth up violence.
Psa 27:13 I believe that I shall see––The goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living,
Psa 27:14 Wait thou for Yahweh,––Be strong, and let thy heart be bold, Wait, then, for Yahweh!
Psa 28:1 ¶ <David’s.> Unto thee, O Yahweh, do I cry, O my Rock! do not turn in silence from me,––lest, if thou turn from me in silence, I be like them who go down into the pit.
Psa 28:2 Hear the voice of my supplication, when I cry to thee for help, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy shrine.
Psa 28:3 Do not drag me away––with the lawless, or with the workers of iniquity,––who speak peaceably with their neighbours, but, wrong, is in their heart.
Psa 28:4 Give them, according to their deed, and, according to the wrong of their practices,––According to the work of their own hands, give thou unto them, Bring back their own dealing to themselves.
Psa 28:5 Because they heed not The Deeds of Yahweh, or the Work of his hands, he will pull them down, and not build them.
Psa 28:6 ¶ Blessed be Yahweh, Because he hath heard the voice of my supplication.
Psa 28:7 Yahweh, is my strength and my shield, In him, hath trusted my heart, and I have found help,––Therefore hath my heart danced for joy, and, with my song, do I praise him.
Psa 28:8 Yahweh, is strength to his people,––And, the all–saving refuge of his Anointed One, is he!
Psa 28:9 Oh save thy people, and bless thine inheritance, Tend them also, and carry them, Unto times age–abiding.
Psa 29:1 ¶ <A Melody of David.> Give to Yahweh, ye sons of the mighty,––Give to Yahweh, [both] glory and strength:
Psa 29:2 Give to Yahweh, the glory of his Name, Bow down to Yahweh, in the adornment of holiness.
Psa 29:3 The voice of Yahweh, is upon the waters,––The GOD of glory, hath thundered, Yahweh, is upon mighty waters;
Psa 29:4 The voice of Yahweh, is with power, The voice of Yahweh, is with majesty;
Psa 29:5 The voice of Yahweh, is breaking cedars, Now hath Yahweh, broken down, the cedars of Lebanon!
Psa 29:6 And hath made them leap like a calf, Lebanon and Sirion, like the bull–calf of wild–oxen;
Psa 29:7 The voice of Yahweh, is cleaving out flames of fire;
Psa 29:8 The voice of Yahweh, bringeth birth–pains upon the wilderness; Yahweh bringeth birth–pains upon the wilderness of Kadesh!
Psa 29:9 The voice of Yahweh, causeth the gazelles to bring forth, and hath stript forests; and, in his own temple, every one there, is saying, Glory!
Psa 29:10 Yahweh, at the Flood, was seated, And Yahweh hath taken his seat, as king, unto times age–abiding.
Psa 29:11 Yahweh, will give, strength to his people,––Yahweh, will bless his people with prosperity.
Psa 30:1 ¶ <A Melody. A Song for the Dedication of the House. David’s.> I will extol thee, O Yahweh, for thou hast drawn me up,––and not suffered my foes to rejoice over me.
Psa 30:2 O Yahweh, my God, I cried for help unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
Psa 30:3 O Yahweh! thou hast lifted, out of hades, my soul, Thou hast brought me back to life, from among those who were going down to the pit.
Psa 30:4 Sweep the strings to Yahweh, ye his men of lovingkindness, and give ye praise at the mention of his holiness.
Psa 30:5 For there is, a Moment, in his anger, a Life–time, in his good–pleasure, In the evening, cometh Weeping to lodge, But, by the morning, ‘tis a Shout of Triumph!
Psa 30:6 ¶ But, I, said, in my tranquility, I shall not be shaken to times age–abiding!
Psa 30:7 O Yahweh, in thy good–pleasure, hadst thou caused my mountain to stand, strong,––Thou didst hide thy face––I was dismayed!
Psa 30:8 Unto thee, O Yahweh, do I cry,––and, unto My Lord, do I make supplication:
Psa 30:9 What profit in my blood? in my going down into the pit? Can dust praise thee? Can it declare thy faithfulness?
Psa 30:10 Hear, O Yahweh, and show me favour, O Yahweh! become thou a helper unto me.
Psa 30:11 Thou hast turned my lamentation, into a dance for me,––Thou hast torn off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness:
Psa 30:12 To the end that mine honour should make melody unto thee, and not be silent. O Yahweh, my God! Unto times age–abiding, will I praise thee.
Psa 31:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David.> In thee, O Yahweh, have I sought refuge, Let me not be ashamed to times age–abiding, In thy righteousness, deliver me:
Psa 31:2 Incline unto me, thine ear, Speedily rescue me,––Become to me a Rock of refuge, a Place of security, For saving me.
Psa 31:3 Because, my mountain crag and my stronghold, thou art, Therefore, for the sake of thine own Name, wilt thou lead me and guide me?
Psa 31:4 Wilt thou bring me forth, out of the net which they have hidden for me? For, thou, art my refuge.
Psa 31:5 Into thy hand, do I commit my spirit––Thou hast ransomed me, O Yahweh, GOD most faithful.
Psa 31:6 I hate such as give heed to false vanities, I, then, in Yahweh, have set my hope.
Psa 31:7 I will indeed exult and rejoice, in thy lovingkindness,––In that thou hast looked upon my humiliation, thou hast taken note that in distresses was my life;
Psa 31:8 And hast not shut me up in the hand of the foe, Thou hast given standing, in a roomy place, unto my feet.
Psa 31:9 ¶ Show me favour, O Yahweh, for in distress am I,––Wasted with vexation, is mine eye––my soul and my body;
Psa 31:10 For, consumed with sorrow, is my life, and my years with sighing,––My strength hath staggered with my humiliation, and, my bones, are without marrow.
Psa 31:11 By reason of all mine adversaries, have I become a reproach. Even to my neighbours, altogether, and a dread to mine acquaintance,––They who have seen me abroad, have fled from me:
Psa 31:12 I have been forgotten, like one dead––out of mind, I have been as a missing vessel.
Psa 31:13 For I have heard the whispering of many––A terror round about! When they have sat in conclave together against me, to take away my life, have they intrigued.
Psa 31:14 I, therefore, in thee, have put my trust, O Yahweh, I have said, My God, thou art!
Psa 31:15 In thy hand, are my times, Rescue me from the hand of my foes and from my pursuers!
Psa 31:16 Cause thy face to shine upon thy servant, Save me in thy lovingkindness.
Psa 31:17 O Yahweh! let me not be ashamed, For I have called upon thee, Let the lawless be ashamed, Go down in silence to hades!
Psa 31:18 Let false lips be made dumb,––which are speaking––against a righteous one––arrogantly, with pride and contempt.
Psa 31:19 ¶ How great is thy goodness, which thou hast hidden away for them who revere thee,––Thou hast wrought for them who seek refuge in thee, in sight of the sons of men.
Psa 31:20 Thou wilt conceal them, in the secrecy of thine own presence, from the conspiracies of men,––Thou wilt hide them in a pavilion, from the strife of tongues.
Psa 31:21 Blessed be Yahweh, for he hath made wonderful his lovingkindness for me, in a fortified city.
Psa 31:22 But, I, had said in mine alarm, I am cut off from before thine eyes,––But, indeed, thou didst hear the voice of my supplication, when I cried for help unto thee.
Psa 31:23 Love Yahweh, all ye his men of lovingkindness,––Faithfulness, doth Yahweh observe, but repayeth abundantly him that worketh proudly.
Psa 31:24 Be strong, and let your heart be bold, all ye who are waiting for Yahweh.
Psa 32:1 ¶ <David’s. An Instructive Psalm.> How happy is he whose transgression is forgiven! whose sin is pardoned!
Psa 32:2 How happy the son of earth, to whom Yahweh will not reckon iniquity! and in whose spirit is no guile!
Psa 32:3 When I kept silence, my bones became worn out, Through my groaning all the day;
Psa 32:4 For, day and night, heavy upon me, was thy hand,––Changed was my life–sap into the drought of summer. [Selah.]
Psa 32:5 My sin, would I own unto thee, and, mine iniquity, not hide, I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Yahweh, And, thou, didst forgive the iniquity of my sin. [Selah.]
Psa 32:6 For this cause, will every man of lovingkindness pray unto thee, in time to obtain,––Surely, in the overflow of many waters, unto him, shall they not reach.
Psa 32:7 ¶ Thou, art a hiding–place for me, From distress, wilt thou preserve me,––With shouts of deliverance, wilt thou compass me about. [Selah.]
Psa 32:8 I will make thee discreet, I will point out to thee the way which thou must go, I will fix upon thee mine eye.
Psa 32:9 Do not ye become like a horse, like a mule, without discernment,––With the bit and bridle of his mouth, [hast thou] to restrain him,––He will not come near unto thee.
Psa 32:10 Many pains, hath the lawless one,––But, he that trusteth in Yahweh, Lovingkindness, shall compass him about.
Psa 32:11 Rejoice in Yahweh and exult, O ye righteous, Yea, shout in triumph, all ye upright in heart!
Psa 33:1 ¶ Shout for joy, ye righteous, in Yahweh, To the upright, seemly is praise.
Psa 33:2 Give ye thanks unto Yahweh with the lyre, With a harp of ten strings, make ye music unto him.
Psa 33:3 Sing unto him, a song that is new, With skill, sweep the strings, with loud noise.
Psa 33:4 For right is the word of Yahweh, and, all his work, is in faithfulness:
Psa 33:5 Who loveth righteousness and justice, With the lovingkindness of Yahweh, the earth is full.
Psa 33:6 By the word of Yahweh, the heavens were made, and, by the spirit of his mouth, all their host:
Psa 33:7 Who gathered as into a skin–bottle the waters of the sea, Delivering, into treasuries, the roaring deeps.
Psa 33:8 Let all the earth, stand in awe of Yahweh, Of him, be in dread, all ye inhabitants of the world;
Psa 33:9 For, he, spake, and it was, He, commanded, and it stood forth.
Psa 33:10 Yahweh, hath frustrated the counsel of nations, hath brought to nothing the devices of peoples.
Psa 33:11 The counsel of Yahweh, to times age–abiding, shall stand, The devices of his heart, from generation to generation.
Psa 33:12 ¶ How happy the nation whose God is, Yahweh, The people he hath chosen as his own inheritance!
Psa 33:13 Out of the heavens, hath Yahweh looked, He hath seen all the sons of men:
Psa 33:14 Out of his settled place of abode, hath he fixed his gaze on all the inhabitants of the earth:
Psa 33:15 Who fashioneth their heart all together, Who understandeth all their doings.
Psa 33:16 Not a king, can be saved by greatness of force, nor, hero, deliver himself by greatness of strength:
Psa 33:17 A deception, is the horse, for victory, and, by his great strength, shall he not deliver.
Psa 33:18 Lo! the eye of Yahweh, is toward them who revere him, unto such as are waiting for his lovingkindness:
Psa 33:19 To rescue, from death, their soul, and to keep them alive in famine.
Psa 33:20 Our own soul, hath waited for Yahweh, Our help and our shield, is he!
Psa 33:21 For, in him, shall our heart rejoice, For, in his holy Name, have we trusted.
Psa 33:22 Be thy lovingkindness, O Yahweh, upon us, According as we have waited for thee.
Psa 34:1 ¶ <David’s. When he disguised his sanity before Abimelech,––who dismissed him, and he departed. [An Alphabetical Psalm.]> Let me bless Yahweh at all times, Continually be his praise in my mouth.
Psa 34:2 In Yahweh, boasteth my soul, The patient oppressed–ones shall hear and be glad.
Psa 34:3 Ascribe ye greatness unto Yahweh with me, and let us exalt his Name together.
Psa 34:4 I enquired of Yahweh, and he hath answered me, And, out of all my terrors, hath he rescued me.
Psa 34:5 They looked unto him and were radiant, And, as for their faces, let them not be abashed.
Psa 34:6 This, oppressed one cried, and, Yahweh, heard––and, out of all his distresses, saved him.
Psa 34:7 The messenger of Yahweh encampeth around them who revere him, Thus hath he delivered them.
Psa 34:8 Oh taste and see, that good is Yahweh,––How happy the man who seeketh refuge in him!
Psa 34:9 Revere Yahweh, ye his holy ones, For there is no want to them who revere him.
Psa 34:10 Young lions, have come short, and suffered hunger, but, they who seek Yahweh, shall not lack any good thing.
Psa 34:11 ¶ Come, ye children! hearken unto me, The reverence of Yahweh, will I teach you.
Psa 34:12 Who is the man that desireth life, Loving days, that he may see good?
Psa 34:13 Keep thy tongue from wickedness, And thy lips from speaking deceit:
Psa 34:14 Depart from wickedness and do good, Aim at well–being, and pursue it.
Psa 34:15 The eyes of Yahweh, are towards the righteous, And, his ears, towards their cry for help:
Psa 34:16 The face of Yahweh, is against such as do wickedness, To cut off, from the earth, their memory.
Psa 34:17 They made outcry, and Yahweh heard, And, out of all their straits, hath he rescued them.
Psa 34:18 Near is Yahweh, to the broken in heart, And, the crushed in spirit, will he save.
Psa 34:19 Many are the misfortunes of the righteous, But, out of them all, doth Yahweh rescue him.
Psa 34:20 Keeping all his bones, Not, one from among them, is broken.
Psa 34:21 Misfortune shall be the death of the lawless one, And, the haters of the righteous man, shall be held guilty.
Psa 34:22 Yahweh ransometh the soul of his servants, And none shall be held guilty, who seek refuge in him.
Psa 35:1 ¶ <David’s.> Contend, O Yahweh, with them who contend with me, Make war upon them who make war upon me.
Psa 35:2 Grasp buckler and shield, and arise in my help;
Psa 35:3 Then draw the spear, and close up against my pursuers, Say to my soul, Thy salvation, I am!
Psa 35:4 Let them be ashamed and confounded, who are seeking my life,––Let them turn back and be put to the blush, who are devising my hurt:
Psa 35:5 Let them be as chaff before the wind, with, the messenger of Yahweh, pressing them on:
Psa 35:6 Let their way become dark and slippery, with, the messenger of Yahweh, pursuing them.
Psa 35:7 For, without cause, have they hid for me, in a ditch, their net,––Without cause, have they digged [a pit] for my life.
Psa 35:8 There shall reach him a ruin he could not know,––Yea, his own net which he hath hidden, shall capture him, Into that ruin, shall he fall!
Psa 35:9 But, my soul, shall exult in Yahweh,––shall be glad in his salvation.
Psa 35:10 All my bones, shall say––O Yahweh, who is like unto thee? Rescuing the oppressed from one stronger than he, Yea the oppressed and the needy, from their spoiler.
Psa 35:11 ¶ There rise up witnesses helping forward violence and wrong, What I know not, they demand of me:
Psa 35:12 They repay me evil for good, Bereaving my soul.
Psa 35:13 But, as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth, I humbled, with fasting, my soul, though, my prayer, unto mine own bosom, might return:
Psa 35:14 Like as for a friend, like as for a brother of mine own, I walked to and fro, As though mourning for a mother, I gloomily bowed myself down.
Psa 35:15 But, in mine overthrow, have they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together,––There gathered themselves together against me foolish men, and I knew it not, They have torn in pieces, and not been silent;
Psa 35:16 Amidst profane praters of perversion, have they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
Psa 35:17 ¶ My Lord! how long wilt thou look on? Bring back my soul out of their raging, from among lions, my solitary self.
Psa 35:18 I will thank thee, in the midst of a great convocation,––In the midst of a mighty people, will I praise thee.
Psa 35:19 Let not them who are falsely my foes rejoice over me, As for them who hate me without cause, let them not wink the eye!
Psa 35:20 For, no salvation, will they utter,––But, against the quiet of the land, deceitful things, do they devise;
Psa 35:21 Yea they have opened wide against me their mouth, They have said, Aha! Aha! our own eye, hath seen!
Psa 35:22 Thou hast seen, O Yahweh, do not keep silence! O My Lord! be not far from me:
Psa 35:23 Bestir thyself and wake up, to my vindication, O my God and My Lord!––to my plea:
Psa 35:24 Vindicate me according to thy righteousness, O Yahweh, my God! And let them not rejoice over me:
Psa 35:25 Let them not say in their heart, Aha! to our mind! Let them not say, We have swallowed him up!
Psa 35:26 Let them turn pale, and then at once blush, who are rejoicing at my misfortune,––Let them be clothed with shame and confusion, who are magnifying themselves against me.
Psa 35:27 Let them shout in triumph and rejoice, who are desiring my justification; And let them say continually, Yahweh be magnified, Who hath taken pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
Psa 35:28 Mine own tongue also, shall softly utter thy righteousness,––All the day long,––thy praise!
Psa 36:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. Of the Servant of Yahweh––of David.> Declareth the transgression of the lawless one, within my heart, There is, no dread of God, before his eyes;
Psa 36:2 For he flattereth himself [too much] in his own eyes, to find his iniquity––to hate [it].
Psa 36:3 The words of his mouth, are iniquity and deceit, he hath left off to show discretion by doing well:
Psa 36:4 Iniquity, deviseth he upon his bed,––he taketh his stand in a way, not good, Wrong, doth he not abhor!
Psa 36:5 ¶ O Yahweh! in the heavens, is thy lovingkindness, Thy faithfulness, as far as the fleecy clouds:
Psa 36:6 Thy righteousness, is like mighty mountains, and, thy just decrees, are a great resounding deep,––Man and beast, thou savest, O Yahweh!
Psa 36:7 How precious thy lovingkindness, O God,––Therefore, the sons of men, under the shadow of thy wings, seek refuge:
Psa 36:8 They abundantly relish the fatness of thy house,––And out of the full stream of thine own pleasures, thou givest them to drink.
Psa 36:9 For, with thee, is the fountain of life, In thy light, we see light.
Psa 36:10 Prolong thy lovingkindness unto them who know thee,––and thy righteousness, to the upright in heart.
Psa 36:11 Let not the foot of pride reach me, nor, the hand of the lawless, scare me away.
Psa 36:12 There did the workers of iniquity fall,––thrust down and not able to rise!
Psa 37:1 ¶ <David’s. [An Alphabetical Psalm.]> Burn not with vexation because of evil–doers, Be not envious of the workers of perversity;
Psa 37:2 For, like grass, soon shall they wither, and, like green herbage, shall they fade.
Psa 37:3 Trust in Yahweh, and do good, Dwell in the land, and feed on fidelity;
Psa 37:4 Yea, rest thy delight on Yahweh, that he may give thee the requests of thy heart.
Psa 37:5 Roll on Yahweh thy way, Trust also in him, and, he, will effectually work:
Psa 37:6 So will he bring forth, as the light, thy righteousness, and thy vindication as the noonday.
Psa 37:7 ¶ Be resigned to Yahweh, yea wait with longing for him; Burn not with vexation at him who prospereth in his way,––at the man who doeth wickedness.
Psa 37:8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath, Burn not with vexation––[it would be] only to do evil;
Psa 37:9 For, evil doers, shall be cut off, but, as for them who wait for Yahweh, they, shall inherit the earth.
Psa 37:10 Yet a little, therefore, and the lawless one shall not be, Yea thou shalt look about, over his place––and he shall have vanished!
Psa 37:11 But, the patient oppressed–ones, shall inherit the earth, and shall delight themselves over the abundance of prosperity.
Psa 37:12 Plotting is the lawless one, against the just, and gnashing upon him with his teeth.
Psa 37:13 My Lord, shall laugh at him, for he seeth, that his day, will come.
Psa 37:14 A sword, have the lawless, drawn out, and have trodden their bow,––To bring down the oppressed and the needy, To slaughter the upright in life:
Psa 37:15 Their sword, shall enter into their own heart, and, their bow, shall be broken.
Psa 37:16 Better the little of the righteous man, than the abundance of the lawless who are mighty;
Psa 37:17 For, the arms of the lawless, shall be broken, But Yahweh is upholding the righteous.
Psa 37:18 Yahweh knoweth the days of the blameless, that, their inheritance, unto times age–abiding, shall continue.
Psa 37:19 They shall not be ashamed in the time of calamity, and, in the days of famine, shall they be filled.
Psa 37:20 For, the lawless, shall perish, and, the foes of Yahweh, be like the glory of the meadows, They have vanished! In smoke, have they vanished!
Psa 37:21 ¶ A lawless man borroweth, and will not repay, But, a righteous man, showeth favour and giveth;
Psa 37:22 For, such as are blessed of him, shall inherit the earth, But, the cursed of him, shall be cut off.
Psa 37:23 From Yahweh, are the steps of a man made firm, When, with his way, he is well pleased:
Psa 37:24 Though he fall, he shall not be hurled headlong, For, Yahweh, is holding his hand.
Psa 37:25 Young, have I been, moreover am old,––Yet have I not seen, A righteous man forsaken, Nor his seed begging bread:
Psa 37:26 All day long, is he showing favour and lending, his seed, therefore, shall have a blessing.
Psa 37:27 Turn from evil, and do good, and so settle down, unto times age–abiding.
Psa 37:28 For, Yahweh, loveth justice, and will not forsake his men of lovingkindness, Unto times age–abiding, have the perverse been destroyed,––and the seed of the lawless, been cut off.
Psa 37:29 The righteous, shall inherit the earth, that they may settle down, to futurity, thereupon.
Psa 37:30 The mouth of a righteous man, softly uttereth wisdom, and, his tongue, speaketh justice:
Psa 37:31 The law of his God, is in his heart, his steps shall not swerve.
Psa 37:32 The lawless man, lieth in wait, for the just, and seeketh to put him to death:
Psa 37:33 Yahweh, will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him, when he is judged.
Psa 37:34 ¶ Wait for Yahweh, and observe thou his path, that he may exalt thee, to inherit the earth, On the cutting off of the lawless, shalt thou look.
Psa 37:35 I have seen a lawless man, a tyrant, and spreading himself out, like a cedar in Lebanon;
Psa 37:36 Then I passed by, and lo! he had vanished! Yea I sought him, but he could not be found.
Psa 37:37 Mark the blameless man, and behold the upright, for there is a hereafter for the man of peace;
Psa 37:38 But, transgressors, are to be destroyed together, the hereafter of lawless men, is to be cut off.
Psa 37:39 But, the deliverance of the righteous, is from Yahweh, their refuge in a time of distress.
Psa 37:40 Thus hath Yahweh helped them, thus hath he delivered them,––He will deliver them from the lawless, and will save them, because they have sought refuge in him.
Psa 38:1 ¶ <A Melody of David. To bring to Remembrance.> O Yahweh, do not, in thine anger, correct me, nor, in thy wrath, chastise me;
Psa 38:2 For, thine arrows, have sunk down into me, and thy hand, presseth heavily upon me.
Psa 38:3 There is no soundness in my flesh, By reason of thine indignation, There is no peace in my bones, By reason of my sin;
Psa 38:4 For, mine iniquities, have passed over my head, Like a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me:
Psa 38:5 My wounds are of bad odour––they have festered, by reason of my folly:
Psa 38:6 I am bent, I am bowed down very low. All the day, have I gloomily walked;
Psa 38:7 For, my loins, are filled with inflammation, and there is no soundness in my flesh:
Psa 38:8 I am benumbed and crushed exceedingly,––I have cried aloud because of the groaning of my heart.
Psa 38:9 O My Lord! before thee, is all my longing, and, my sighing, from thee, hath not been hid:
Psa 38:10 My heart, fluttereth, my strength hath forsaken me, and, as for the light of mine eyes, even they, are not with me:
Psa 38:11 My lovers, and my friends, from before my stroke, stand aloof,––and, my near ones, far away, do stand:
Psa 38:12 ¶ Yea they who are seeking my life, have laid snares, and they who are asking my harm, have threatened engulfing ruin, And, deceitful things––all day long, do they mutter.
Psa 38:13 But, I, as one deaf, will not hear,––and as one dumb, who will not open his mouth:
Psa 38:14 Thus have I become as a man who cannot hear, in whose mouth are no arguments:
Psa 38:15 Because, for thee, O Yahweh, have I waited, Thou, wilt answer, O Adonay, my God!
Psa 38:16 For I said, Lest they rejoice over me! When my feet were tottering, against me, have they magnified themselves:
Psa 38:17 For, I, to halt, am ready, and, my pain, is before me continually;
Psa 38:18 For, mine iniquity, will I declare, I shall be anxious because of my sin;
Psa 38:19 And, my foes, are alive––have become strong,––and multiplied are they who hate me for false cause:
Psa 38:20 Even they who are repaying evil for good, accuse me because I pursue the good.
Psa 38:21 Do not forsake me, O Yahweh, My God! be not far from me:
Psa 38:22 Make haste to help me, My Lord, my deliverance!
Psa 39:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. For Jeduthun. A Melody of David.> I said, [to myself,] I will take heed to my ways, That I sin not with my tongue,––I will put on my mouth a muzzle, So long as the lawless is before me.
Psa 39:2 I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, afar from happiness, But, my pain had been stirred:
Psa 39:3 Hot was my heart within me, While I was musing, there was kindled a fire, I spake with my tongue!
Psa 39:4 Let me know, O Yahweh, mine end, And the measure of my days––what it is, I would know how short–lived I am.
Psa 39:5 Lo! as hand–breadths, hast thou granted my days, and my life–time, is as nothing before thee,––Surely, a mere breath, are all men, [even] such as stand firm. [Selah.]
Psa 39:6 Surely as a shadow, doth every man wander, Surely in vain, do they bustle about, he heapeth things up, and knoweth not who shall gather them in.
Psa 39:7 ¶ Now, therefore, for what have I waited, O My Lord? My hope, is, in thee.
Psa 39:8 From all my transgressions, rescue thou me,––The reproach of the base, oh do not make me!
Psa 39:9 I am dumb, I cannot open my mouth, for, thou, hast done it.
Psa 39:10 Remove from off me thy stroke, Because of the hostility of thy hand, am, I, consumed.
Psa 39:11 When, by rebukes for iniquity, thou hast corrected a man, Then hast thou consumed, as a moth, all that was delightful within him, Surely, a breath, are all men. [Selah.]
Psa 39:12 Hear my prayer, O Yahweh, And, unto my cry for help, give ear, At my tears, do not be silent,––For, a sojourner, am, I, with thee, A stranger, like all my fathers.
Psa 39:13 Look away from me that I may brighten up, Ere yet I depart and am no more.
Psa 40:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. David’s. A Melody.> I waited patiently for Yahweh,––And he inclined, unto me, and heard my cry for help;
Psa 40:2 So he brought me up, Out of the destroying pit, Out of the swampy mire,––And set, upon a cliff, my feet, Making firm my steps:
Psa 40:3 Then put he, into my mouth, a new song, Praise to our God,––Many shall see and revere, And shall trust in Yahweh.
Psa 40:4 How happy the man, Who hath made Yahweh his confidence, who hath not turned unto the haughty, nor gone aside unto falsehood.
Psa 40:5 Mighty things, hast thou done––Thou, Yahweh my God, Thy wonderful doings and thy purposes to–wards us, There is no setting them in order unto thee––I would tell, and would speak!––They are too great to rehearse.
Psa 40:6 ¶ Sacrifice and meal–offering, thou didst not delight in, Ears, didst thou pierce for me,––Ascending–sacrifice and sin–bearer, thou didst not ask:
Psa 40:7 Then, said I––Lo! I am come, In the written scroll, is it prescribed for me;
Psa 40:8 To do thy good–pleasure, O my God, is my delight, And, thy law, is in the midst of mine inward parts:
Psa 40:9 I have told the good–tidings of righteousness in a great convocation, Lo! my lips, do I not restrain, O Yahweh, thou, knowest:
Psa 40:10 Thy righteousness, have I not hid in the midst of my heart, Thy faithfulness and thy salvation, have I spoken, I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truthfulness from the great convocation.
Psa 40:11 ¶ Thou, O Yahweh, wilt not restrain thy compassions from me, Thy lovingkindness and thy truthfulness, shall continually watch over me.
Psa 40:12 For there have closed in upon me, misfortunes beyond number, Mine iniquities have overtaken me, and I cannot see, They have become more than the hairs of my head, And, my courage, hath forsaken me!
Psa 40:13 Be pleased, O Yahweh, to rescue me, O Yahweh! to help me, make haste!
Psa 40:14 Let them turn pale and then at once blush, who are seeking my life to snatch it away,––Let them draw back, and be confounded, who are taking pleasure in my calamity;
Psa 40:15 Let them be astonished on account of their own shame, who are saying of me, Aha! Aha!
Psa 40:16 Let all them be glad and rejoice in thee, who are seekers of thee. Let them say continually––Yahweh be magnified! who are lovers of thy salvation.
Psa 40:17 But, I, being oppressed and needy, May My Lord devise for me,––My help and my deliverer, thou art! O my God, do not tarry!
Psa 41:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David.> How happy is he that is attentive to the poor, In the day of calamity, will Yahweh deliver him:
Psa 41:2 Yahweh, will preserve him and keep him alive, And he shall be pronounced happy in the land, Do not then give him up at the desire of his enemies!
Psa 41:3 Yahweh, will sustain him upon the bed of sickness, All his couch, hast thou transformed in his disease.
Psa 41:4 I, said––O Yahweh, show me favour, heal thou my soul, for I have sinned against thee:
Psa 41:5 ¶ Mine enemies, speak ill of me, When will he die, and his name perish?
Psa 41:6 And, if he have come to see me, Falsehood, doth he speak, His own heart, gathereth iniquity to itself, he goeth forth, abroad he telleth it.
Psa 41:7 Together––against me, do all who hate me whisper among themselves, Against me, devise they hurt for me.
Psa 41:8 An infliction of the Abandoned One hath been fixed upon him, and, now that he hath lien down, he will not again rise.
Psa 41:9 Even the man whom I used to salute, in whom I put confidence, who used to eat my bread,––hath magnified his heel against me!
Psa 41:10 But, thou, O Yahweh, show me favour and raise me up, That I may repay them.
Psa 41:11 Hereby, do I know that thou delightest in me, In that mine enemy shall not raise a shout over me.
Psa 41:12 But, as for me, In my blamelessness, hast thou held me fast, And hast caused me to stand before thee unto times age–abiding.
Psa 41:13 Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, From the age that is past, even unto the age yet to come: Amen and Amen!
Psa 42:1 <BOOK THE SECOND> ¶ <To the Chief Musician. An Instructive Psalm for the Sons of Korah.> As, the hart, cometh panting up to the channels of water, So my soul, panteth for thee, O God.
Psa 42:2 My soul thirsteth for God, for a GOD who liveth,––When shall I enter in, and see the face of God?
Psa 42:3 My tears have been my food day and night, While it hath been said unto me all the day, Where is thy God?
Psa 42:4 These things, I keep calling to mind, and pouring out, over me, my own soul, For I used to cross over with a crowd, Lead them in procession up to the house of God, With the voice of shouting and praise,––a throng keeping festival.
Psa 42:5 Why shouldst thou be cast down, O my soul? And [why] shouldst thou moan over me? Wait thou for God, for yet shall I praise him, As the triumph of my presence.
Psa 42:6 ¶ My God! over myself, my soul is cast down,––For this cause, will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, And the Hermons, from the hill Mizar.
Psa 42:7 Roaring deep unto roaring deep, is calling, at the voice of thy cataracts, All thy breakers and thy rolling waves, over me, have passed.
Psa 42:8 By day, will Yahweh command his lovingkindness, And, in the night, shall His song be with me, My prayer be to the GOD of my life.
Psa 42:9 I will say onto GOD,––my rock, Wherefore hast thou forgotten me? Wherefore in gloom should I go, because of oppression by the enemy?
Psa 42:10 With a crushing of my bones, have my adversaries reproached me,––While they keep saying unto me all the day, Where is thy God?
Psa 42:11 Why shouldst thou be sat down, O my soul? And why shouldst thou moan over me? Wait thou for God, for yet shall I praise him, As the triumph of my presence and my God.
Psa 43:1 ¶ Vindicate me, O God, and plead my cause, Against a nation, without lovingkindness, From the man of deceit and perversity, wilt thou deliver me?
Psa 43:2 For, thou, art my defending God––Wherefore hast thou rejected me? Wherefore in gloom should I wander, because of the oppression of an enemy?
Psa 43:3 Send forth thy light and thy faithfulness, Let, them, lead me, Let them bring me into thy holy mountain, and into thy habitations:
Psa 43:4 That I may go in unto the altar of God, Unto GOD, mine exultant joy,––That I may praise thee with the lyre, O God––mine own God!
Psa 43:5 Why shouldst thou be cast down, O my soul? And why shouldst thou moan over me, Wait thou for God, for yet shall I praise him, As the triumph of my presence, and my God.
Psa 44:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. For the Sons of Korah. An Instructive Psalm.> O God! with our own ears, have we heard, Our fathers, have recounted to us,––The work thou didst work, In their day, In the days of aforetime:
Psa 44:2 Thou thyself, with thine own hand––Didst dispossess, nations, and didst plant them, Didst break peoples in pieces, and didst spread them out:
Psa 44:3 For, not by their own sword, gat they possession of the land, Nor did, their own arm, win victory for them,––But thine own right hand, and thine own arm, and the light of thy face, Because thou hadst accepted them.
Psa 44:4 Thou thyself, art my king, O God, Command thou the victories of Jacob.
Psa 44:5 By thee, will we thrust at, our adversaries, In thy Name, will we tread down our assailants;
Psa 44:6 For, not in my bow, will I trust, Nor shall, my sword, give me victory;
Psa 44:7 For thou hast saved us from our adversaries, And, them who hated us, hast thou put to shame.
Psa 44:8 In God, have we boasted all the day, And, thy Name––unto times age–abiding, will we praise. [Selah.]
Psa 44:9 ¶ But nay thou hast rejected, and confounded us, And wilt not go forth with our hosts;
Psa 44:10 Thou sufferest us to turn back from the adversary, And, they who hate us, have plundered at will:
Psa 44:11 Thou dost give us up like sheep to be devoured, And, amongst the nations, hast thou scattered us.
Psa 44:12 Thou dost sell thy people for, no–value, And hast not made increase by their price.
Psa 44:13 Thou dost make us, A reproach to our neighbours, A mockery and a derision to them who are round about us:
Psa 44:14 Thou dost make us, A by–word among the nations,––A shaking of the head among the peoples.
Psa 44:15 All the day, is my confusion before me, And, the shame of my face, hath covered me:
Psa 44:16 At the voice of him who reproacheth and revileth, At the face of the foe and avenger.
Psa 44:17 ¶ All this, hath come upon us, Yet had we not forgotten thee, Neither had we dealt falsely with thy covenant;
Psa 44:18 Our heart had not drawn back, Nor had our goings swerved from thy path;
Psa 44:19 That thou shouldst have crushed us down in the place of wild dogs, And covered us over with a deadly shadow.
Psa 44:20 If we had forgotten the Name of our God, And had spread forth our hands unto the GOD of the foreigner,
Psa 44:21 Would not, God, have searched into this, Seeing that, he, knoweth the secrets of the heart?
Psa 44:22 Surely, for thy sake, have we been slain all the day, We have been accounted as sheep for slaughter.
Psa 44:23 Awake thou! wherefore shouldst thou sleep, O Lord? Bestir thee! do not reject us altogether!
Psa 44:24 Wherefore shouldst thou hide, thy face? Shouldst forget our humiliation and our oppression?
Psa 44:25 For our soul, sinketh down to the dust, Our body, cleaveth to the earth.
Psa 44:26 Arise to our help, And ransom us, because of thine own lovingkindness.
Psa 45:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. On Shoshannim. For the Sons of Korah. A Psalm of Instruction. A Song of Love.> Overflowed hath my heart, with an excellent theme, I will recite my poem concerning the king, Be, my tongue, [like] the pen of a scribe who is skilled.
Psa 45:2 Most beautiful thou art, beyond the sons of men, Graciousness hath been poured forth by thy lips, For this cause, hath God blessed thee, to times age–abiding.
Psa 45:3 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O mighty one, [’Tis] thine honour and thy majesty;
Psa 45:4 And, [in] thy majesty, be successful! ride forth! on behalf of faithfulness, and humility––righteousness, And let thine own right hand show thee wonderful things.
Psa 45:5 Thine arrows, are sharp––Peoples, under thee, fall! In the heart of the foes of the king.
Psa 45:6 ¶ Thy throne, O God, is to times age–abiding and beyond, A sceptre of equity, is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
Psa 45:7 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated lawlessness,––For this cause, hath God, thine own God, anointed thee, With the oil of gladness, beyond thy partners.
Psa 45:8 Myrrh and aloes, cassias, all thy garments,––Out of the palaces of ivory, the tones of strings, have rejoiced thee.
Psa 45:9 Daughters of kings, are among thine honourable women, Stationed is the bride at thy right hand, in gold of Ophir.
Psa 45:10 ¶ Hearken, O daughter, and observe, Incline also thine ear, Forget, then, thine own people, And the house of thy father;
Psa 45:11 When the king shall desire thy beauty, Surely, he, is thy lord, then bow down to him.
Psa 45:12 Also, the daughter of Tyre, [cometh in] with a present! Thy face, shall the rich of the people appease.
Psa 45:13 All glorious––the daughter of a king [sitteth] within, Brocades, wrought with gold, [are] her clothing!
Psa 45:14 In embroidered raiment, shall she be brought unto the king––The virgins that follow her, her companions, are to be conducted unto thee:
Psa 45:15 They shall be brought, with rejoicings and exultation,––They shall enter into the palace of the king!
Psa 45:16 Instead of thy fathers, be thy sons, Thou shalt make them rulers in all the earth.
Psa 45:17 I will keep in remembrance thy Name, through each succeeding generation, For this cause, peoples, shall praise thee, to times age–abiding and beyond.
Psa 46:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. For the Sons of Korah, on Alamoth. A Song.> God––for us, is a refuge and strength, A help in distresses, soon found.
Psa 46:2 For this cause, will we not fear, Though the earth showeth change, Or the mountains slip into the heart of the seas:
Psa 46:3 The waters thereof roar and foam, The mountains tremble with the swelling thereof [Selah.]
Psa 46:4 A river! whose channels, shall gladden the city of God, The Most High, hath hallowed his habitation.
Psa 46:5 God, is in the midst of her, she shall not be shaken, God will help her, by the turnings of the morning.
Psa 46:6 ¶ Nations have roared, Kingdoms have tottered, He hath uttered his voice, Earth melteth.
Psa 46:7 Yahweh of hosts, is with us, A high tower for us, is the God of Jacob. [Selah.]
Psa 46:8 Come! view the doings of Yahweh,––Who hath set desolations in the earth;
Psa 46:9 Causing wars to cease unto the end of the earth,––The bow, he shivereth, And breaketh in pieces the spear, war–chariots, burneth he up with fire.
Psa 46:10 Let be! and know that, I, am God, I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.
Psa 46:11 Yahweh of hosts, is with us, A high tower for us, is the God of Jacob. [Selah.]
Psa 47:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. For the Sons of Korah. A Melody.> All ye peoples, clap your hands, Shout unto God, with the voice of triumph;
Psa 47:2 For, Yahweh––as Most High, is to be revered, A great king, over all the earth,
Psa 47:3 He will subjugate, Peoples under us, and, Tribes of men beneath our feet.
Psa 47:4 He chooseth for us our inheritance, The excellence of Jacob, which he hath loved. [Selah.]
Psa 47:5 ¶ God hath ascended with a shout, Yahweh, with the sound of a horn.
Psa 47:6 Sing praises unto God, sing praises, Sing praises to our King, sing praises;
Psa 47:7 For God is king of all the earth, Sing praises with understanding.
Psa 47:8 God, hath become king, over the nations, God, hath taken his seat upon his holy throne.
Psa 47:9 The willing–hearted of the peoples, have gathered themselves together, The people of the God of Abraham; For, to God, belong the shields of the earth, Greatly is he exalted.
Psa 48:1 ¶ <A Melodious Song. For the Sons of Korah.> Great is Yahweh, and worthy to be mightily praised, In the city of our God, His holy mountain.
Psa 48:2 Beautiful in elevation, the joy of all the land, Is Mount Zion, in the recesses of the north,––The city of a great king.
Psa 48:3 God, in her palaces, is to be known as a high tower.
Psa 48:4 For lo! Kings––Met as appointed, Passed by together;
Psa 48:5 They themselves, saw, So, were they amazed, Dismayed––they hurried way!
Psa 48:6 Trembling, seized them, there, Pangs, like hers who is in travail.
Psa 48:7 With an east wind, wilt thou shatter the ships of Tarshish.
Psa 48:8 ¶ Just as we have heard, So, have we seen, In the city of Yahweh of hosts, In the city of our God, God himself, will establish her, unto times age–abiding. [Selah.]
Psa 48:9 We have thought, O God, upon thy lovingkindness, In the midst of thy temple:
Psa 48:10 According to thy Name, O God, So, be thy praise, unto the ends of the earth, With righteousness, is, thy right hand, filled.
Psa 48:11 Let Mount Zion rejoice, Let the daughters of Judah exult, Because of thy judgments.
Psa 48:12 Go round Zion, and compass her about, Reckon up her towers;
Psa 48:13 Apply your mind to her rampart, Pass between her palaces, That ye may recount them to an after generation;
Psa 48:14 For, this God, is our God, to times age–abiding and beyond, He himself, will conduct us till death.
Psa 49:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. For the Sons of Korah. A Melody.> Hear ye this, all ye peoples, Give ear, all ye inhabitants of this passing world;
Psa 49:2 Both sons of the low, And sons of the high,––Together both rich and needy:––
Psa 49:3 My mouth, shall speak forth Wisdom, And the soft utterance of my heart be Understanding:
Psa 49:4 I will bend, to a by–word, mine ear, I will open, on the lyre, mine enigma.
Psa 49:5 Wherefore should I fear in the days of calamity, Though the iniquity of them who lie in wait for me should enclose me?
Psa 49:6 ¶ As for them who are trusting in their wealth,––And, in the abundance of their riches, do boast themselves,
Psa 49:7 A brother, can none of them, redeem, he cannot give unto God a ransom for himself:
Psa 49:8 So costly, is the redemption of their soul, That it faileth unto times age–abiding;
Psa 49:9 That he should, yet, live on, continually, Should not see corruption.
Psa 49:10 For it is seen that, the wise, die, Together with the dullard, and the brutish, do they perish, And leave, to others, their wealth:
Psa 49:11 Their, inward thought, is that their houses are for times age–abiding, Their habitations, for generation after generation,––They give their own names unto lands!
Psa 49:12 But, a son of earth, though wealthy, cannot tarry, He hath made himself a by–word––Beasts, they resemble:
Psa 49:13 This, their way, is a folly to them, And yet, their followers, with their mouth, approve. [Selah.]
Psa 49:14 Like sheep––into hades, are they driven, Death shall shepherd them,––And the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning, Even their form, is to decay, Hades, is all that remaineth of a habitation for him.
Psa 49:15 ¶ But, God, will redeem my soul, out of the hand of hades, For he will take me. [Selah.]
Psa 49:16 Do not fear, When a man becometh rich, When the glory of his house increaseth;
Psa 49:17 For, when he dieth, he shall take, nothing, his glory shall not descend after him;
Psa 49:18 For, though, his own self––while he lived, he used to bless, And they will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself,
Psa 49:19 He shall enter as far as the circle of his fathers, Nevermore, shall they see the light.
Psa 49:20 A son of earth though wealthy, who discerneth not, Hath made himself a by–word, Beasts, they resemble.
Psa 50:1 ¶ <A Melody of Asaph.> El, Elohim, Yahweh, hath spoken, and culled the earth, From the rising of the sun, unto the going in thereof:
Psa 50:2 Out of Zion the perfection of beauty, God, hath shone forth.
Psa 50:3 Let our God come, and let him not keep silence! A fire––before him, shall devour, And, around him, hath it become exceeding tempestuous:
Psa 50:4 He calleth, Unto the heavens above, And unto the earth, That he may judge his people.
Psa 50:5 Gather yourselves unto me––ye my men of lovingkindness, Who have solemnised my covenant over sacrifice.
Psa 50:6 Now have the heavens declared his righteousness, Because, God, is, about to judge. [Selah.]
Psa 50:7 ¶ Hear, O my people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will adjure thee, God, thine own God, I am:––
Psa 50:8 Not, for thy sacrifices, will I reprove thee, Nor for thine ascending–offerings, before me continually:
Psa 50:9 I will not take out of thy house––a bullock, Nor out of thy folds––he–goats;
Psa 50:10 For, mine, is every wild–beast of the forest, The cattle on the mountains, in their thousands;
Psa 50:11 I know every bird of the mountains, And, the moving things of the plain, are with me:
Psa 50:12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee, For, mine, is the world, and the fulness thereof.
Psa 50:13 Will I eat the flesh of mighty oxen? Or, the blood of he–goats, will I drink?
Psa 50:14 Sacrifice to God a thankoffering, And pay to the Most High thy vows;
Psa 50:15 Call upon me, then, in the day of distress, I will deliver thee, that thou mayest glorify me.
Psa 50:16 ¶ But, to the lawless one, God saith, What hast, thou, to do, to recount my statutes? Or that thou hast taken up my covenant upon thy mouth?
Psa 50:17 Seeing that, thou, hast hated correction, And hast cast my words behind thee;
Psa 50:18 If thou sawest a thief, then didst thou run with him,––And, with adulterers, hath been thy chosen life;
Psa 50:19 Thy mouth, hast thou thrust into wickedness, And, thy tongue, kept weaving deceit;
Psa 50:20 Thou wouldst sit down––Against thine own brother, wouldst thou speak, Against thine own mother’s son, wouldst thou expose a fault:––
Psa 50:21 These things, hast thou done, and I have kept silence, Thou thoughtest that I should really be like thyself, I will convict thee, yea I will set [thine offences] in order before thine eyes.
Psa 50:22 Understand this, I pray you, ye forgetters of GOD, Lest I tear in pieces, and there be none to deliver:––
Psa 50:23 He that sacrificeth a thankoffering, will glorify me,––And will prepare a way by which I may show him the salvation of God.
Psa 51:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. When Nathan the Prophet had come to him, after he had gone in unto Bath–sheba.> Be favorable unto me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness, And, in the multitude of thy compassions, blot out my transgressions;
Psa 51:2 Thoroughly wash me from mine iniquity, And, from my sin, make me pure;
Psa 51:3 For, my transgressions, do, I, acknowledge, And, my sin, is before me continually:
Psa 51:4 Against thee––against thee alone, have I sinned, And, wickedness––in thine eyes, have I done,––That thou mayest, Be justified when thou speakest,––Be clear when thou judgest.
Psa 51:5 Lo! in iniquity, was I brought forth, And, in sin, did my mother conceive me.
Psa 51:6 Lo! faithfulness, hast thou desired in the inward parts, Yea, in the hidden part, wilt thou cause me to know, wisdom.
Psa 51:7 ¶ Wilt thou cleanse me from sin with hyssop, That I may be pure? Wilt thou wash me, That I may be whiter, than snow?
Psa 51:8 Wilt thou cause me to hear joy and gladness? The bones thou hast crushed would exult.
Psa 51:9 Hide thy face from my sins,––And, all mine iniquities, blot out;
Psa 51:10 A pure heart, create for me, O God, And, a steadfast spirit, renew within me.
Psa 51:11 Do not cast me away from thy presence, And, thy Holy Spirit, do not take from me:
Psa 51:12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, And, with a willing spirit, wilt thou uphold me:––
Psa 51:13 I would teach transgressors thy ways, And, sinners, unto thee, should return.
Psa 51:14 ¶ Rescue me from shed–blood, O God, the God of my salvation, My tongue should shout thy righteousness;
Psa 51:15 O My Lord! my lips, wilt thou open, And, my mouth, shall declare thy praise.
Psa 51:16 For thou wilt not desire sacrifice––that I should give it, Ascending–offering, will not please:
Psa 51:17 The sacrifices of God, are a spirit that is broken,––A heart––broken and crushed, O God, thou wilt not despise.
Psa 51:18 Do good, in thy good–pleasure, unto Zion, Wilt thou build the walls of Jerusalem!
Psa 51:19 Then, shalt thou desire the sacrifices of righteousness, Ascending–sacrifice and whole burnt–offering, Then, shall ascend upon thine altar, young bulls.
Psa 52:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of Instruction, of David. When Doeg the Edomite went, and told Saul; and said to him,––David, hath entered the house of Ahimelech.> Why dost thou boast thyself of wickedness, O mighty man? The lovingkindness of GOD, [lasteth] all the day.
Psa 52:2 Engulfing ruin, doth thy tongue devise, Like a whetted razor, working deceit;
Psa 52:3 Thou lovest Evil more than good, Falsehood, more than speaking righteousness. [Selah.]
Psa 52:4 Thou lovest all devouring words, O deceitful tongue!
Psa 52:5 GOD also, will break thee down utterly, He will snatch thee up and tear thee away tentless, And uproot thee, out of the land of the living. [Selah.]
Psa 52:6 ¶ The righteous shall both see and fear, And, over him, shall laugh:
Psa 52:7 Lo! the man who made not God his refuge,––But trusted in the abundance of his riches, Emboldened himself in his wealth!
Psa 52:8 But, I, am like a flourishing olive–tree, in the house of God, I have put confidence in the lovingkindness of God, for times age–abiding and beyond.
Psa 52:9 I will praise thee to times age–abiding, Because thou didst effectually work,––And I will wait on thy Name, Because it is good, In the presence of thy men of lovingkindness.
Psa 53:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. On Mahalath. A Psalm of Instruction, of David.> The impious hath said in his heart, There is no God! They have acted corruptly, They have wrought abominable perversity, There is none that doeth good:––
Psa 53:2 God, out of the heavens, looked down upon the sons of men,––To see whether there was one that showed wisdom, Enquiring after God.
Psa 53:3 They all, have turned back, together have they become tainted,––There is none that doeth good, Not so much as, one!
Psa 53:4 Are the workers of iniquity, without knowledge? Devouring my people, [as] they devour food? Upon God, have they not called.
Psa 53:5 There have they been in great dread where no dread was, Because, God, hath scattered the bones of thy besieger,––Thou hast put [him] to shame, Because, God, had, rejected, them.
Psa 53:6 Oh that, out of Zion, were granted the salvations of Israel! When God bringeth back the captives of his people, Jacob, shall exult, Israel, shall be glad.
Psa 54:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician: with Stringed Instruments. A Psalm of Instruction, of David. When the Ziphites came and said unto Saul, Is not, David, hiding himself, with us?> O God! by thine own Name, save me, And, by thine own strength, wilt thou vindicate me?
Psa 54:2 O God! Hear my prayer, Give ear to the sayings of my mouth;
Psa 54:3 For, aliens, have risen up against me, And, men of violence, have sought my life, They have not set God before them. [Selah.]
Psa 54:4 ¶ Lo! God, is bringing me help, My Lord, is with the upholders of my life;
Psa 54:5 Let him turn back the mischief upon mine adversaries, In thy faithfulness, destroy them!
Psa 54:6 With a freewill–offering, will I sacrifice unto thee, I will praise thy Name, O Yahweh, for it is good;
Psa 54:7 For, out of all distress, hath he rescued me,––And, upon my foes, hath, mine own eye, looked.
Psa 55:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician: with stringed Instruments. A Psalm of Instruction, of David.> Give ear, O God, to my prayer, And do not hide thyself from my supplication:
Psa 55:2 Attend unto me, and answer me, I may ramble in my complaining, And be driven to and fro––
Psa 55:3 Because of the noise of the enemy, By reason of the oppression of the lawless one, For they would let trouble drop upon me, And, in anger, would they entrap me.
Psa 55:4 My heart, would writhe within me, And, the terrors of Death, have fallen upon me:
Psa 55:5 Fear and trembling, would enter me, And there would have overwhelmed me––a horror!
Psa 55:6 Then I said––Oh that there were given me a pinion, like a dove, I would fly away and be at rest:
Psa 55:7 Lo! I would take a distant flight, I would tarry in the wilderness. [Selah.]
Psa 55:8 I would hasten mine escape, From rushing wind, from storm.
Psa 55:9 ¶ Confuse, O My Lord, divide their speech, For I have seen violence and contention in the city;
Psa 55:10 Day and night, they go round her, upon her walls, And, trouble and misery, are in her midst;
Psa 55:11 Engulfing ruin, is in her midst, And there depart not from her broadway, oppression and deceit.
Psa 55:12 For it is, not an enemy, that reproacheth me, Or I could bear it,––Not one that hath hated me, who, against me, hath magnified himself, Or I might hide myself from him;
Psa 55:13 But it is, thou, a man esteemed as mine equal, mine associate, and mine acquaintance;
Psa 55:14 So that together have we been wont to find sweetness in counsel, In the house of God, used we to walk in the throng.
Psa 55:15 Desolations on them! Let them go down into hades alive, For, wicked doings, are at home within them.
Psa 55:16 ¶ I, unto God, will cry,––And, Yahweh, will save me.
Psa 55:17 At evening and morning and high noon, have I been wont to lament and complain, And he hath heard my voice!
Psa 55:18 He hath completely redeemed my soul, out of the attack upon me, For, in multitudes, were they [in conflict] with me.
Psa 55:19 GOD will hear, Yea He will humble them who aforetime sat [enthroned]. [Selah.] With whom are no changings, Neither have they revered God.
Psa 55:20 He hath thrust forth his hands, against them he was wont to salute, he hath violated his covenant;
Psa 55:21 Smoother than curds, were [the words of] his mouth, But, war, was [in] his heart,––Softer his words than oil, Yet, they, were drawn swords!
Psa 55:22 Cast upon Yahweh thy lot, and, he, will sustain thee: He will not suffer, to times age–abiding, the righteous one to be shaken.
Psa 55:23 But, thou, O God, wilt bring them down to the pit of destruction, Men of bloodshed and deceit, shall not live out half their days; But, I, will trust in thee.
Psa 56:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. Upon "The Dove of God from the distant Sea." David’s. A precious Psalm. When the Philistines seized him in Gath.> Show me favour, O God, For weak man hath panted for me, All the day, a fighter oppresseth me:
Psa 56:2 Mine adversaries have panted all the day, For, many, are fighting with me, loftily.
Psa 56:3 What day I am afraid, I, unto thee will direct my confidence.
Psa 56:4 In God, I will praise his cause,––In God, have I trusted, I will not fear, What can flesh do unto me?
Psa 56:5 All the day, they wrest, my words, Against me, all their devices are for mischief;
Psa 56:6 They stir up strife––they lie hid, They, mark my steps,––Seeing they have waited for my life.
Psa 56:7 Because of iniquity, recompense thou them,––In anger, bring thou down, the peoples, O God.
Psa 56:8 ¶ My wandering, hast, thou, recorded,––Put thou my tears in thy bottle, Are they not in thy record?
Psa 56:9 Then, shall my foes turn back, in the day I cry, This, I know, for God is mine!
Psa 56:10 In God, will I praise with good cause: In Yahweh, will I praise with good cause;
Psa 56:11 In God, have I trusted, I will not fear, What can a son of earth do unto me!
Psa 56:12 Upon me, O God, are thy vows, I will pay back praises unto thee.
Psa 56:13 For thou hast rescued my soul from death, Wilt thou not [rescue] my feet from stumbling? That I may walk to and fro, before God, In the light of life.
Psa 57:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. "Do not destroy." A precious Psalm, of David. When he fled from the face of Saul into the Cave.> Show me favour, O God, Show me favour, For, in thee, hath my soul sought refuge,––And, in the shadow of thy wings, will I seek refuge, Until the storm of ruin pass by.
Psa 57:2 I will cry unto God Most High, Unto GOD, who accomplisheth on my behalf:
Psa 57:3 He will send out of heaven, that he may save me, He who is panting for me, hath reproached. [Selah.] God will send out his lovingkindness and his faithfulness.
Psa 57:4 My soul, is in the midst of lions, I lie down amidst flames, As for the sons of men, Their teeth, are spear and arrows, And, their tongue, is a sharp sword.
Psa 57:5 Be exalted Above the Heavens, O God, Above all the earth, thy glory!
Psa 57:6 A net, did they fix for my steps, My soul was bowed down,––They digged before me a pit, They fell into the midst thereof! [Selah.]
Psa 57:7 ¶ Fixed is my heart, O God, Fixed is my heart, I will sing, and touch the strings.
Psa 57:8 Awake, mine honour, Awake, harp and lyre, I will awaken the dawn;
Psa 57:9 I will thank thee, among the peoples, O My Lord, I will praise thee in song, among the races of men.
Psa 57:10 For, great, unto the heavens, is thy lovingkindness, And, unto the skies, thy faithfulness.
Psa 57:11 Be exalted Above the heavens, O God, Above all the earth, thy glory!
Psa 58:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. "Do not Destroy." A precious Psalm, of David.> Are ye, indeed, silent [when] righteousness, ye should speak? When, with equity, ye should judge, O ye sons of men?
Psa 58:2 Aye! ye all do work, perversity,––Throughout the land, your hands, weigh out, violence!
Psa 58:3 Lawless men have been estranged from birth, They have gone astray from their nativity, speaking falsehood;
Psa 58:4 Their poison, is like unto the poison of a serpent, Like the deaf adder, that stoppeth his ear;
Psa 58:5 That will not hearken to the voice of whisperers, Though the wise one try to bind him with spells.
Psa 58:6 ¶ O God! break away their teeth in their mouth, The biters of the young lions, knock thou out, O Yahweh!
Psa 58:7 Let such men flow away like waters that disperse themselves: He prepareth his arrow, Like [grass] let them be cut down:
Psa 58:8 Like a snail, which melteth away as it goeth, An untimely birth of a woman, which hath not seen the sun:
Psa 58:9 Before your kettles can perceive the [kindled] bramble, Be he green or be he withered, he shall be swept away.
Psa 58:10 The righteous man will rejoice when he hath seen an avenging, His feet, will he bathe in the blood of the lawless one:––
Psa 58:11 So that a son of earth may say––Surely there is fruit for the righteous man! Surely there are gods who judge in the earth!
Psa 59:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. "Do not Destroy." A precious Psalm of David. When Saul sent, and they watched the house, to kill him.> Rescue me from my foes, O my God, From them who lift themselves up against me, wilt thou set me on high:
Psa 59:2 Rescue me, from the workers of iniquity, And, from the men of bloodshed, save me.
Psa 59:3 For lo! they have lain in wait for my life, Mighty ones stir up strife against me, Without transgression of mine, and without sin of mine, O Yahweh;
Psa 59:4 For no iniquity, do they run that they may take their stand, Rouse thyself to meet me, and see.
Psa 59:5 Thou, therefore, O Yahweh, God of hosts, God of Israel, Awake, to visit all the nations, Do not show favour to any iniquitous traitors. [Selah.]
Psa 59:6 They return at evening, They grow like a dog, And go round the city.
Psa 59:7 Lo! they belch forth with their mouth, Swords, are in their lips, For [say they], Who doth hear?
Psa 59:8 ¶ Thou, therefore, O Yahweh, wilt laugh at them, Thou wilt mock at all nations.
Psa 59:9 O my Strength, unto thee, will I make melody, For, God, is my high tower.
Psa 59:10 My God of lovingkindness, will come to meet me, God, will let me look on mine adversaries.
Psa 59:11 Do not slay them, lest my people forget, Cause them to wander by thy strength, and prostrate them, [Thou] our shield, O Lord!
Psa 59:12 The sin of their mouth, The word of their lips, Let them then be captured in their pride, Both for the oath and for the deception they record.
Psa 59:13 Bring to a full end in wrath, Bring to a full end, that they be no more,––That men may know that, God, is ruling in Jacob, Unto the ends of the earth. [Selah.]
Psa 59:14 Let them return, then, at evening, Let them growl like a dog, And go round the city.
Psa 59:15 They, may prowl about for food,––And, if they are not satisfied, then let them whine!
Psa 59:16 But, I, will sing thy power, And will shout aloud, in the morning, thy lovingkindness,––For thou has become a refuge for me, And a place to flee to in the day of my distress.
Psa 59:17 O my Strength, unto thee, will I make melody, For, God, is my high tower, my God of lovingkindness.
Psa 60:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. Upon "The Lily of Testimony." A precious Psalm of David, to instruct. When he waged war with Aram–neharaim, and with Aram–zobah,––and then Joab returned and smote of Edom in the Valley of Salt, twelve thousand.> O God, thou hast rejected us––hast scattered us, Thou hast been angry, Wilt thou restore us?
Psa 60:2 Thou hast shaken the land––hast rent it, Heal thou the fractures thereof––for it hath tottered:
Psa 60:3 Thou hast suffered thy people to see hardship, Thou hast let them drink the wine of confusion.
Psa 60:4 Thou hadst given––to them that revere thee––a banner, to float aloft, Because of [thy] faithfulness. [Selah.]
Psa 60:5 That thy beloved ones may be delivered, Save thou with thine own right hand––and answer us.
Psa 60:6 ¶ God, hath spoken in his holiness––I will exult! I will apportion Shechem, And, the Vale of Succoth, will I measure out;
Psa 60:7 Mine, is Gilead––and mine, Manasseh, But, Ephraim, is the defence, of my head, Judah, is my commander’s staff;
Psa 60:8 Moab, is my wash–bowl, Upon Edom, will I throw my shoe, Over Philistia! raise shout of triumph.
Psa 60:9 Who will conduct me to a fortified city? Who will lead me as far as Edom!
Psa 60:10 Is it not, thou, O God?––thou hast rejected us! And wilt thou not go forth, O God, with our hosts?
Psa 60:11 Grant us help out of distress, For, vain, is the deliverance of man:
Psa 60:12 In God, we shall do valiantly, He himself, therefore, will tread down our adversaries.
Psa 61:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. Upon a Stringed Instrument. David’s.> Hear, O God, my loud cry, Attend unto my prayer:
Psa 61:2 From the end of the earth, unto thee do I cry, When my heart fainteth away, Unto a rock that is higher than I, wilt thou lead me.
Psa 61:3 For thou hast been, A Refuge to me, A Tower of Strength, from the face of the foe.
Psa 61:4 I would be a guest in thy tent to the ages, I would seek refuge in the concealment of thy wings. [Selah.]
Psa 61:5 ¶ For, thou, O God, hast hearkened to my vows, Thou hast granted a possession, unto them who revere thy Name.
Psa 61:6 Days––unto the days of the king, wilt thou add. His years, as of generation after generation:
Psa 61:7 Let him retain his seat age–abidingly before God, Appoint that, lovingkindness and faithfulness, my watch over him!
Psa 61:8 So, will I sing thy Name unto futurity, Paying my vows, day by day.
Psa 62:1 ¶ <To the Chief Musician. On Jeduthun––A Melody of David.> Surely, towards God, silence [becometh] my soul, From him, is my salvation:
Psa 62:2 Surely, he, is my rock and my salvation, My high tower––I shall not be greatly shaken!
Psa 62:3 How long will ye shout at a man? Ye shall be crushed all of you,––Like a wall that bulgeth,––a fence pushed in!
Psa 62:4 Surely, from his elevation, they have taken counsel to thrust him down, They accept falsehood,––With his mouth, they each of them bless, But, inwardly, they revile. [Selah.]
Psa 62:5 Surely, towards God, be thou silent, my soul, For, from him, is mine expectation:
Psa 62:6 Surely, he, is my rock, and my salvation, My high tower––I shall not be shaken!
Psa 62:7 Upon God, [depend] my salvation and mine honour, My rock of strength, my refuge, are in God.
Psa 62:8 ¶ Trust ye in him all ye assembly of the people, Pour out, before him, your heart, God, is a refuge for us. [Selah.]
Psa 62:9 Surely, vanity, are men of low degree, Deception, men of high degree,––In the balances, they go up, They, are [made] of vanity, altogether.
Psa 62:10 Do not trust in extortion, Nor, with robbery, become vain, As for wealth, when it beareth fruit, Do not set [thereon your] heart.
