Psalms 19:-36:1 {A Davidic Psalm{ The heavens are recounting the glory of El, And the atmosphere is telling the work of His hands."

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ {A Davidic Psalm{ The heavens are recounting the glory of El, And the atmosphere is telling the work of His hands." ² Day after day is uttering a saying, And night after night is disclosing knowledge." ³ There is no audible saying, and there are no words; Their voice is unheard." ⁴ Yet into the entire earth their voice goes forth, And into the ends of the habitance their declarations. For the sun, He has placed a tent in them, ⁵ So it is like a bridegroom going forth from his canopy; It is elated like a master, to run its path." ⁶ From the end of the heavens is its going forth, And its circling around goes on to their ends, So that nothing is being concealed from its warm penetration." ⁷ The law of Yahweh is flawless, restoring the soul; The testimony of Yahweh is faithful, making wise the simple;" ⁸ The precepts of Yahweh are upright, rejoicing the heart; The instruction of Yahweh is pure, enlightening the eyes;" ⁹ The fear of Yahweh is clean, standing unto the future; The judgments of Yahweh are truth; they are righteous altogether:" ¹⁰ Coveted more than gold, and more than much glittering gold, And sweeter than honey and drips of the combs." ¹¹ Moreover, Your servant is being warned by them; In the keeping of them is a great consequence." ¹² Who can detect inadvertent errors? From those concealed to me, hold me innocent." ¹³ Moreover, keep back Your servant from arrogancies; Let them not rule over me. Then I shall be flawless, And I will be innocent of great transgression." ¹⁴ May the sayings of my mouth be acceptable And the soliloquy of my heart be pleasing before You, O Yahweh, my Rock and my Redeemer! {Permanent{ " ²⁰ ¹ {A Davidic Psalm{ May Yahweh answer you in a day of distress; May the Name of Jacob's Elohim be your impregnable retreat. ² May He send to your help from the Sanctuary, And from Zion, may He brace you." ³ May He remember all your approach presents, And upon your ascent offerings, may He confer richness. {Interlude{ " ⁴ May He give to you according to your heart, And all your counsel, may He fulfill." ⁵ Let us be jubilant in your salvation, And in the Name of Elohim, may we raise a standard. May Yahweh fulfill all your requests." ⁶ Now I know that Yahweh will save His anointed; He shall answer him from His holy heavens By the saving masterful deeds of His right hand. ⁷ These boast in chariots, and those in horses, But as for us, concerning the Name of Yahweh our Elohim, we are ever mindful." ⁸ They, indeed they will bow down and fall, But as for us, we will rise and shall become attested." ⁹ O Yahweh, save the king, And answer us on the day we call. {Permanent{ " ²¹ ¹ {A Davidic Psalm{ O Yahweh, in Your strength is the king rejoicing, And in Your salvation, how exceedingly is he exulting!" ² The yearning of his heart, You will give to him, And the proposal of his lips You will not withhold at all. {Interlude{ " ³ For You shall succor him with blessings of good; You shall set a glittering gold crown on his head. ⁴ He asked life from You; You will give it to him:Length of days for an eon and further. ⁵ Great is his glory through Your salvation; Splendor and honor shall You poise on him. ⁶ For You are setting him for blessings for the future; You are exhilarating him with the rejoicing of Your presence. ⁷ For the king is trusting in Yahweh, And in the benignity of the Supreme he shall not slip at all." ⁸ Your hand shall find all Your enemies; Your right hand, it shall find those hating You." ⁹ You shall make them like a fiery stove in the era of Your presence. Yahweh shall swallow them up in His anger, And fire shall devour them." ¹⁰ You shall destroy their fruit from the earth And their seed from among the sons of humanity. ¹¹ Though they have intended evil against You, And they have devised a scheme, They shall not prevail at all." ¹² For You shall make them turn their backs; With Your bowcords You shall be ready against their faces. ¹³ Be exalted, O Yahweh, in Your strength; We will sing and make melody concerning Your masterful deeds. {Permanent{ {Concerning the Hind of the Dawn{ " ²² ¹ {A Davidic Psalm{ My El! My El! Why have You forsaken me? Far from my salvation are these words of my roaring. ² My Elohim, I am calling by day, yet You are not answering, And by night, yet there is no stillness for me." ³ But You are holy, The One dwelling among the praises of Israel." ⁴ In You our fathers trusted; They trusted, and You delivered them." ⁵ To You they cried out, and they escaped; In You they trusted, and they were not put to shame." ⁶ But I am a worm and not a man, A reproach to humanity and despised by the people." ⁷ All those seeing me deride me; They open up their lip in sneering; They wag their head, saying, ⁸ He exults in Yahweh; let Him deliver him! Let Him rescue him, since He delights in him!" ⁹ Indeed You were the One rushing me forth from the belly, Causing me to trust on my mother's breasts." ¹⁰ On You was I flung from the womb; From my mother's belly, You have been my El." ¹¹ O do not be far from me, For distress is near, Because there is no one helping." ¹² Many young bulls surround me; Sturdy ones of Bashan, they compass me about." ¹³ They open their mouth wide against me Like a lion, ravening and roaring." ¹⁴ I am poured out like water, And all my bones are disjointed. My heart has become like wax; It is melted in the midst of my bowels." ¹⁵ My vigor is dried up like earthenware, And my tongue clings to my jaws; You bring me low to the soil of death." ¹⁶ For curs have surrounded me; The crowd of evildoers has encompassed me; They dig into my hands and my feet. ¹⁷ I number all my bones; They look; they stare at me. ¹⁸ They apportion my garments among themselves, And they cast the lot for my clothing." ¹⁹ Yet You, O Yahweh, do not be far away! My Fortitude, do hurry to my help!" ²⁰ Do rescue my soul from the sword, My only one from the paw of the cur." ²¹ Save me from the mouth of the lion And from the horns of the wild bulls-- You have answered me! ²² Let me recount Your Name to my brothers; In the midst of the assembly shall I praise You. ²³ Those fearing Yahweh, praise Him! All the seed of Jacob, glorify Him! And revere Him, all the seed of Israel!" ²⁴ For He has neither despised Nor abominated the humiliation of the humbled, And He has not concealed His face from him. But when he implored to Him, He hearkened." ²⁵ From You comes my praise in the vast assembly; I shall pay my vows in front of those fearing Him. ²⁶ The humbled shall eat and shall be satisfied; And those seeking after Him shall praise Yahweh. May their hearts live for the future. ²⁷ All the limits of the earth shall remember and return to Yahweh, And all the families of the nations shall bow down before Him." ²⁸ For Yahweh's is the kingdom, And He is the One ruling among the nations." ²⁹ Yea, to Him shall bow down All those about to be sleeping in the earth; Before Him shall crouch All those descending to the soil. And he who did not keep his soul alive--" ³⁰ His seed shall serve Him; It shall be recounted about Yahweh To the generation that is coming. ³¹ And they shall tell of His righteousness To a people about to be born. Declaring that He has done this. ²³ ¹ {A Davidic Psalm{ Yahweh is my Shepherd; Nothing shall I lack. ² In verdant oases, He is making me recline; Beside restful waters, He is conducting me." ³ He is restoring my soul; He is guiding me in the routes of righteousness, on account of His Name." ⁴ Even though I should walk in the ravine of blackest shadow, I shall not fear evil, For You are with me; Your club and Your staff, they are comforting me." ⁵ You are arranging a table before me in front of my foes; You have sleeked my head with oil; My cup is satiated. ⁶ Yea, goodness and benignity, they shall pursue me all the days of my life, And I will dwell in the House of Yahweh for the length of my days." ²⁴ ¹ {A Davidic Psalm{ Yahweh's is the earth and its fullness, The habitance and those dwelling in it." ² For He, on the seas He has founded it, And on the streams He has established it." ³ Who shall ascend into the mountain of Yahweh, And who shall rise in His holy place? ⁴ The innocent of palms and pure of heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to mere idols, And has not sworn by what is deceitful." ⁵ He shall obtain blessing from Yahweh, And righteousness from the Elohim of his salvation." ⁶ This is the generation of those seeking after Him, Those seeking Your face, O Elohim of Jacob. {Interlude{ " ⁷ Lift up your heads, O gateways, And be lifted up, O portals eonian, That the King of glory may come in!" ⁸ Who is this King of glory? Yahweh, strong and masterful! Yahweh, masterful in battle!" ⁹ Lift up your heads, O gateways, And be lifted up, O portals eonian, That the King of glory may come in!" ¹⁰ Who is He, this King of glory? Yahweh of hosts, He is the King of glory! {Interlude{ " ²⁵ ¹ {A Davidic Psalm{ To You, O Yahweh, am I lifting up my soul;" ² In You, my Elohim, have I trusted. Do not let me be ashamed; Do not let my enemies be glad over me." ³ Indeed, all expecting You shall not be ashamed; They shall be ashamed who are being treacherous without excuse." ⁴ Acquaint me with Your ways, O Yahweh; Teach me Your paths." ⁵ Cause me to tread in Your truth, and teach me, For You are the Elohim of my salvation, And I expect You the entire day." ⁶ Remember Your compassions, O Yahweh, And Your benignities, For they are from the eon." ⁷ Do not remember the sins of my youth and my transgressions; According to Your benignity, remember me, I pray You, On account of Your goodness, O Yahweh." ⁸ Good and upright is Yahweh; Therefore, He shall direct sinners in the way;" ⁹ He shall cause the humble to tread in right judgment, And He shall teach the humble His way." ¹⁰ All the paths of Yahweh are benignity and truth For those preserving His covenant and His testimonies. ¹¹ On account of Your Name, O Yahweh, Thus pardon my depravity, though it be great." ¹² Whatever man this is who is fearing Yahweh, He shall direct him in the way he should choose;" ¹³ His soul shall lodge in good, And his seed shall tenant the land." ¹⁴ The intimacy of Yahweh is for those fearing Him, And His covenant, to give them knowledge." ¹⁵ My eyes are continually toward Yahweh, For He shall bring forth my feet from the net." ¹⁶ Turn toward me, and be gracious to me, For I am lonely and humbled;" ¹⁷ In the distresses of my heart make a wideness for me, And bring me forth from my constraints." ¹⁸ Meet my humiliation and my toil, And bear away all my sins." ¹⁹ See my enemies, how they multiply And hate me with violent hatred." ²⁰ Do guard my soul, and rescue me; Do not let me be ashamed, for I have taken refuge in You." ²¹ May integrity and uprightness preserve me, For I expect You." ²² O Elohim, ransom Israel from all their distresses." ²⁶ ¹ {Davidic{ Judge me, O Yahweh, for I have walked in my integrity, And I have trusted in Yahweh; I shall not totter." ² Test me, O Yahweh, and try me; Do refine my innermost being and my heart." ³ For Your benignity is in front of my eyes, And I have walked in Your truth." ⁴ I have not sat with men of hypocrisy, And with dissemblers I shall not enter." ⁵ I have hated the assembly of evildoers, And with the wicked I shall not sit." ⁶ I shall wash my palms in innocency, And I will go around Your altar, O Yahweh, ⁷ To announce with the voice of acclamation, And to recount all Your marvelous works." ⁸ O Yahweh, I have loved the pleasantness of Your House And the Place where Your glory is tabernacling." ⁹ Do not gather up my soul with sinners Or my life with bloodthirsty men, ¹⁰ In whose hands is scheming, And their right hand is full of bribes." ¹¹ As for me, I shall walk in my integrity. Ransom me, and be gracious to me." ¹² My foot has stood on level ground; In the assemblies, I shall bless You, O Yahweh." ²⁷ ¹ {Davidic{ Yahweh is my Light and my Salvation; Whom should I fear? Yahweh is the Stronghold of my life; Of whom should I be afraid? ² When evildoers drew near against me To devour my flesh, They who were to me my foes and my enemies, They stumbled and fell." ³ Though an armed force should encamp against me, My heart shall not fear; Though war should rise up against me, In spite of this I am trusting." ⁴ One thing I have asked from Yahweh-- Only it am I seeking:That I may dwell in the House of Yahweh all the days of my life, To perceive the pleasantness of Yahweh, And to make my quest in His Temple." ⁵ For He shall seclude me in His booth in the day of evil; He shall conceal me in the secrecy of His tent; He shall safely set me high on a rock. ⁶ Even now my head is being raised high over my enemies round about me, And I will sacrifice in His tent sacrifices with shouts of joy. I will sing and make melody to Yahweh." ⁷ Hear my voice, O Yahweh, when I call; Be gracious to me, and answer me." ⁸ To You my heart has said, I have sought Your face; Your face, O Yahweh, am I seeking." ⁹ O do not conceal Your face from me, O do not turn aside Your servant in anger, You Who have become my Help! O do not abandon me, And do not forsake me, O Elohim of my salvation." ¹⁰ For my father and my mother, they have forsaken me, Yet Yahweh shall gather me in." ¹¹ Direct me, O Yahweh, in Your way, And guide me in a straight path on account of those lying in wait for me." ¹² O do not give me up to the soul's desire of my foes, For false witnesses have risen against me, Even malicious calumniators." ¹³ I believe that I will see the goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living. ¹⁴ Be expectant toward Yahweh; Be steadfast, and let your heart be resolute. Yea, be expectant toward Yahweh." ²⁸ ¹ {Davidic{ To You, O Yahweh, am I calling out; My Rock, O do not turn from me in silence. Lest, if You should hush to me, I would become comparable with descenders to the crypt." ² Hear the voice of my supplications When I implore to You, When I lift up my hands toward Your Innermost Sanctuary." ³ O do not draw me away with the wicked Or with contrivers of lawlessness, Those speaking peace with their associates But evil in their heart." ⁴ Give to them according to their contriving And according to the evil of their actions; According to the work of their hands, give to them; Reverse their dealing upon them." ⁵ For they do not understand Yahweh's wise deeds Or the work of His hands. He shall pull them down and not build them up again. ⁶ Blessed be Yahweh, For He has heard the voice of my supplications." ⁷ Yahweh is my Strength and my Shield; In Him has my heart trusted, And I have been helped So that my heart is joyous, And with my song am I acclaiming Him." ⁸ Yahweh is the Strength of His people, And He is the Stronghold of salvation for His anointed." ⁹ Do save Your people, And bless Your allotment; Shepherd them, And lift them up for the eon." ²⁹ ¹ {A Davidic Psalm{ Grant to Yahweh, O sons of the elim, Grant to Yahweh glory and strength." ² Grant to Yahweh the glory of His Name; Worship Yahweh in His holy effulgence. ³ The voice of Yahweh is over the waters; The El of glory, He thunders; Yahweh is over the abundant waters." ⁴ The voice of Yahweh sounds with vigor; The voice of Yahweh is filled with honor. ⁵ The voice of Yahweh is breaking cedars, And Yahweh is breaking the cedars of Lebanon;" ⁶ He is causing them to dance like a calf, Lebanon and Sirion like a young wild bull." ⁷ The voice of Yahweh is hewing with blazes of fire. ⁸ The voice of Yahweh, it is causing the wilderness to travail; Yahweh is causing the wilderness of Kadesh to travail." ⁹ The voice of Yahweh makes the hinds travail in birth, And He is stripping the wildwood bare. In His Temple everyone is saying, Glory." ¹⁰ Yahweh sat enthroned above the deluge, And Yahweh shall sit enthroned as King for the eon." ¹¹ Yahweh, strength shall He give to His people; Yahweh, He shall bless His people with peace." ³⁰ ¹ {A Psalm{ {Dedication Song of the House{ {Davidic{ I am exalting You, O Yahweh, for You have drawn me out, And You have not let my enemies rejoice over me." ² O Yahweh my Elohim, I implored to You, And You healed me." ³ O Yahweh, You have brought my soul up from the unseen; You have preserved me alive from descending to the crypt." ⁴ Make melody to Yahweh, His benign ones, And give acclamation to His holy Name." ⁵ For there is only a moment under His anger But a lifetime under His benevolence. In the evening, lamentation may lodge, But in the morning there is jubilant song." ⁶ Yet I, I have said in my ease, I shall not slip at all for the eon." ⁷ O Yahweh, in Your benevolence, You have made my mountain to stand in strength. If You conceal Your face, I become flustered;" ⁸ To You, O Yahweh, am I calling, And to my Lord am I supplicating." ⁹ What gain is there in my blood poured out, In my descending to the grave? Does soil acclaim You? Does it tell Your faithfulness? ¹⁰ Hear, O Yahweh, and be gracious to me; O Yahweh, be my Help!" ¹¹ You have turned my wailing into fluting for me. You have unloosed my sackcloth And are belting me with rejoicing, ¹² So that one may make melody to You, O my Glory, And may not be still. O Yahweh my Elohim, for the eon shall I acclaim You. {Permanent{ " ³¹ ¹ {A Davidic Psalm{ In You, O Yahweh, have I taken refuge; Do not let me be ashamed for the eon; In Your righteousness deliver me." ² Stretch out Your ear to me; Rescue me quickly, O Yahweh! Become mine for a Rock, a Stronghold, For a House of Fastness to save me." ³ For You are my Crag and my Fastness, And on account of Your Name, O Yahweh, You shall guide me, And You shall conduct me." ⁴ You shall bring me forth from the net That they have buried for me; For You are my Stronghold. ⁵ Into Your hand am I committing my spirit; You have ransomed me, O Yahweh, El of faithfulness." ⁶ I hate those keeping hypocritical vanities, Yet I, I trust in Yahweh." ⁷ I will exult and rejoice in Your benignity, You Who have seen my humiliation; You know all about the distresses of my soul, ⁸ And You have not locked me up into the hand of the enemy; You have made my feet stand in a wide place. ⁹ Be gracious to me, O Yahweh, for distress has been mine; My eye was exhausted by vexation, My soul and my inner being too." ¹⁰ For my life was consumed with affliction, And my years with sighing; My vigor stumbled with my humiliation, And my bones, they were exhausted." ¹¹ Because of all my foes I became a reproach, Even to my neighbors, exceedingly so, And an alarm to my close acquaintances; Those seeing me in the street would bolt away from me." ¹² I was forgotten, like a dead man, out of heart; I became like a lost vessel." ¹³ For I heard the muttering of many; Shrinking fear was round about; In their deliberation together against me, They schemed to take away my soul." ¹⁴ Yet I, I trusted in You, O Yahweh; I said, My Elohim are You;" ¹⁵ In Your hand are my seasons; Rescue me from the hand of my enemies And from those pursuing me. ¹⁶ Do let Your face light up over Your servant; Save me in Your benignity. ¹⁷ O Yahweh, do not let me be ashamed, For I have called out to You. Let the wicked be ashamed; Let them be still in the unseen;" ¹⁸ Let false lips be muted, Those speaking with impertinence against the righteous, In pride and contempt." ¹⁹ How great is Your goodness Which You have stored up for those fearing You, And have effected for those seeking refuge in You In front of the sons of humanity." ²⁰ You shall conceal them in the concealment of Your presence From the coalitions of man; You shall seclude them in a booth From the dispute of tongues. ²¹ Blessed be Yahweh, For He made marvelous His benignity to me In a besieged city." ²² Yet I, I had said in my consternation, I am severed from in front of Your eyes. Nevertheless, You heard the voice of my supplications In my imploring to You." ²³ Love Yahweh, all His benign ones; The faithful, Yahweh is preserving, Yet He is repaying with a surplus The one dealing with pride." ²⁴ Be steadfast, And let your heart be resolute, All you who are waiting for Yahweh." ³² ¹ {Davidic{ {Contemplating{ Happy is he whose transgression is lifted away, Whose sin is covered over!" ² Happy is the human to whom Yahweh is not reckoning depravity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit!" ³ When I kept silent toward You, my bones became worn out With my roaring the entire day." ⁴ For by day and night, Your hand was heavy upon me; My freshness was turned into the droughts of summer. {Interlude{ " ⁵ I am now acknowledging my sin to You, And I do not cover over my depravity. I said, I shall confess against myself my transgressions to Yahweh, And You, You lift away the depravity of my sin. {Interlude{ " ⁶ Concerning this, let every benign one pray to You in a season of finding; Surely at the overflowing of many waters They shall not attain to him." ⁷ You are a concealment for me; From distress shall You preserve me, With jubilant songs of deliverance shall You surround me. {Interlude{ " ⁸ You said, I shall make you contemplate, And direct you in the way that you should go; I will give counsel with My eye upon you." ⁹ You must not become like a horse, Like a mule in which there is no understanding, Whose scruff must be curbed with bit and bridle, Or it would never come near to you." ¹⁰ Many are the pains for the wicked one, Yet for the one trusting in Yahweh, benignity shall surround him." ¹¹ Rejoice in Yahweh, and exult, O righteous ones, And be jubilant, all who are upright of heart." ³³ ¹ Be jubilant, O righteous ones, in Yahweh; Praise is comely for the upright ones." ² Acclaim Yahweh on a harp; On a zither of ten strings make melody to Him. ³ Sing to Him a new song; Be skillful to play with joyful shouting. ⁴ For upright is the word of Yahweh, And all His work is in faithfulness." ⁵ He is loving righteousness and right judgment; The earth is full of the benignity of Yahweh. ⁶ By the word of Yahweh, the heavens were made, And by the spirit of His mouth, all their host." ⁷ He is collecting the waters of the sea together as a waterspout, Bestowing the abyss in treasure vaults." ⁸ Let all the earth fear Yahweh; Let all those dwelling in the habitance revere Him. ⁹ For He spoke, and it came to be; He enjoined, and it stood firm." ¹⁰ Yahweh, He annuls the intrigue of the nations; He repudiates the devices of the peoples." ¹¹ The counsel of Yahweh shall stand for the eon, The designs of His heart for generation after generation." ¹² Happy is the nation that has Yahweh as its Elohim, The people He chooses as an allotment for Himself." ¹³ From the heavens Yahweh looks down; He sees all the sons of humanity. ¹⁴ From His established dwelling He peers Upon all those dwelling on the earth, ¹⁵ He Who is forming their hearts individually, Who is discerning all their doings." ¹⁶ The king is not saved by a great army; A master is not rescued by great vigor; ¹⁷ The horse is a false hope for salvation, And by its vast valor it cannot provide escape." ¹⁸ Behold, the eye of Yahweh is toward those fearing Him, Toward those waiting for His benignity, ¹⁹ To rescue their soul from death And to preserve them alive in famine. ²⁰ Our soul tarries for Yahweh; He is our Help and our Shield. ²¹ For in Him our heart is rejoicing; For in His holy Name we trust. ²² O Yahweh, let Your benignity come to be upon us Even as we wait for You." ³⁴ ¹ {Davidic{ {When he altered his sanity before Abimelech so that he drove him out, and he went away.{ Let me bless Yahweh in every season; His praise is in my mouth continually." ² In Yahweh my soul boasts; The humbled ones hear and rejoice. ³ Magnify Yahweh with me, And let us exalt His Name together." ⁴ I have sought after Yahweh, and He has answered me, And from all my shrinking fear He has rescued me." ⁵ Look to Him and beam, And do not let your faces be abashed." ⁶ This humbled one called, and Yahweh heard, And from all his distresses, He saved him." ⁷ The messenger of Yahweh is encamping around those fearing Him, And He shall liberate them." ⁸ Taste and see that Yahweh is good; Happy is the master who takes refuge in Him. ⁹ Fear Yahweh, all His saints, For there is no lack to those fearing Him." ¹⁰ The sheltered lions, they are destitute, and they famish, But those seeking after Yahweh shall not lack any good." ¹¹ Come my sons; hearken to me! I shall teach you the devout fear of Yahweh. ¹² Who is the man whose delight is life, Loving sufficient days in order to see good? ¹³ Preserve your tongue from evil And your lips from speaking deceit. ¹⁴ Withdraw from evil, and do good; Seek peace, and pursue it." ¹⁵ The eyes of Yahweh are toward the righteous, And His ears are toward their imploring." ¹⁶ The face of Yahweh is against those doing evil, To cut off their remembrance from the earth." ¹⁷ The righteous cry out, and Yahweh hears, And He rescues them from all their distresses." ¹⁸ Yahweh is near to the broken of heart, And He shall save those crushed of spirit." ¹⁹ Many are the evils on the righteous one, But Yahweh shall rescue him from them all, ²⁰ He Who is guarding all his bones So that not one of them is broken. ²¹ Evil shall put the wicked to death, And those hating the righteous one shall be found guilty." ²² Yahweh is ransoming the soul of His servants, And all those taking refuge in Him shall not be found guilty." ³⁵ ¹ {Davidic{ Do contend, O Yahweh, with my contenders; Fight against those fighting me." ² Hold fast the buckler and the large shield; Do rise up to my help. ³ Unsheathe the spear and the pike To meet those pursuing me. Say to my soul, I am your Salvation!" ⁴ May they be ashamed, And may they be mortified, who are seeking my soul; May they be turned away, And may they be abashed, who are devising evil against me." ⁵ May they become like trash before the wind, With a messenger of Yahweh expelling them." ⁶ Let their way become dark and slick surfaced, With a messenger of Yahweh pursuing them." ⁷ For gratuitously have they buried their net for me; Gratuitously have they delved a grave for my soul. ⁸ May ruination come upon him when he is not knowing it, And may his net that he has buried seize him; Let him fall into it to ruination." ⁹ Yet my soul, it shall exult in Yahweh; It shall be elated in His salvation." ¹⁰ All my bones, they shall say, O Yahweh, who is like You? Rescuing the humbled from one too unyielding for him, Both the humbled and the needy from one pillaging him." ¹¹ Malicious witnesses arise; They ask me that which I do not know; ¹² They are repaying me evil for good, Seeking bereavement to my soul." ¹³ As for me, when they were ill my clothing was sackcloth; I humbled my soul with fasting, Yet my prayer, it turned back on my bosom." ¹⁴ As for an associate, as for my brother, I walked about grieving; Like one mourning for his mother, I bowed down in somberness." ¹⁵ Yet when I was limping, they rejoiced and gathered together; They gathered together against me, Smiters, and I did not know it; They tore at me and would not be still." ¹⁶ With the pollutions of derisive derisions, They gnashed their teeth against me." ¹⁷ O Yahweh, how long shall You look on? Do restore my soul from their ruinations, My only one from the sheltered lions." ¹⁸ I shall acclaim You in the vast assembly; Among a staunch people shall I praise You. ¹⁹ Let them not rejoice over me, My enemies who are false; Nor let them wink the eye, Who are hating me gratuitously." ²⁰ For they do not speak peace, And they are devising words of deceit against those enjoying respite in the land." ²¹ They widen their mouth against me; They say, Aha, aha, our eyes have seen it." ²² You have seen this; O Yahweh, do not be silent; O Yahweh, do not be far from me." ²³ Do rouse; do awake for my due, My Elohim and my Lord, for my cause." ²⁴ Judge me according to Your righteousness, O Yahweh my Elohim, And let them not rejoice over me." ²⁵ Let them not say in their heart, Aha, our soul is pleased; Let them not say, We swallowed him up." ²⁶ May those be ashamed and abashed together, Who are rejoicing in my evil lot; May those be clothed with shame and mortification, Who are magnifying themselves against me." ²⁷ May those be jubilant and rejoice, Who take delight in my righteousness; May they say continually, Let Yahweh be magnified, Whose delight is in His servant's well-being." ²⁸ Then my tongue shall soliloquize of Your righteousness, Of Your praise, the entire day. {Permanent{ {To the Servant of Yahweh{ " ³⁶ ¹ {Davidic{ The wicked one has a watchword of transgression within his heart; There is no awe of Elohim in front of his eyes;
