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{ "
