Psalms 19:-36:1 To His Eminence; A Psalm by David. The heavens scribe the honor of El; and the expanse tells his handiwork.

ECB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ To His Eminence; A Psalm by David. The heavens scribe the honor of El; and the expanse tells his handiwork. ² Day to day gushes sayings and night to night shows knowledge. ³ There is neither saying nor word where their voice is not heard. ⁴ Their line goes throughout all the earth and their utterances to the end of the world. In them he sets a tent for the sun: ⁵ and he, as a groom coming from his canopy; rejoices as the mighty to run the path. ⁶ His source is from the end of the heavens and his circuit to the ends thereof; and naught is hid from the heat. ⁷ The torah of Yah Veh is perfect, restoring the soul; the witness of Yah Veh is trustworthy, enwisening the gullible; ⁸ the precepts of Yah Veh are straight, cheering the heart; the misvah of Yah Veh is pure, enlightening the eyes; ⁹ the awe of Yah Veh is pure, standing eternally; the judgments of Yah Veh are truth, justified altogether. ¹⁰ More to be desired than gold, yes, than much pure gold; and sweeter than honey and the droppings of the honeycomb. ¹¹ Also by them your servant enlightens; and in guarding them is a great final result. ¹² Inadvertent errors - who discerns? Exonerate me from the hidden; ¹³ also spare your servant from the arrogant that they not reign over me: and I am integrious and exonerated from the great rebellion. ¹⁴ May the sayings of my mouth and the meditation of my heart, be pleasing at your face, O Yah Veh, my rock and my redeemer. ²⁰ ¹ To His Eminence; A Psalm by David. Yah Veh answers you in the day of tribulation; the name of Elohim of Yaaqov lofts you; ² he sends you help from the holies and supports you from Siyon; ³ he remembers all your offerings and fattens your holocausts. Selah. ⁴ He gives you according to your own heart and fulfills all your counsel. ⁵ We shout in your salvation and in the name of our Elohim we raise our banners; Yah Veh fulfills all your requests. ⁶ Now I know that Yah Veh saves his anointed; he answers him from his holy heavens with the might of salvation of his right ⁷ - some in chariots - some in horses; and we remember the name of Yah Veh our Elohim. ⁸ They - they knuckle under and fall; and we rise restored. ⁹ Save, O Yah Veh; the sovereign answers us the day we call. ²¹ ¹ To His Eminence; A Psalm by David. The sovereign cheers in your strength, O Yah Veh; how mightily he twirls in your salvation: ² you give him the desire of his heart and withhold not the yearning of his lips. Selah. ³ For you anticipate him with the blessings of goodness; you set a crown of pure gold on his head; ⁴ he asks life of you and you give him length of days eternally and eternally: ⁵ great is his honor in your salvation; you place honor and majesty on him: ⁶ for you set him for blessings eternally; you cheer him with cheerfulness by your face. ⁷ For the sovereign confides in Yah Veh and through the mercy of Elyon he totters not: ⁸ your hand finds all your enemies; your right finds them who hate you: ⁹ you set them as a fiery oven at the time of your face: Yah Veh swallows them in his wrath and the fire consumes them: ¹⁰ you destroy their fruit from the earth and their seed from the sons of humanity. ¹¹ For they spread evil against you; they machinate intrigue; they are not able: ¹² for you set their shoulder; you prepare your cords against their face. ¹³ Be lofted, O Yah Veh, in your own strength; we sing and psalm your might. ²² ¹ To His Eminence; On the Hind of the Dawn: A Psalm by David. My El, my El, why forsake you me? - so far from my salvation and from the words of my roaring? ² O my Elohim, I call by day, and you answer not; and by night, and am not silent. ³ And you are holy - you who settles in the halals of Yisra El. ⁴ Our fathers confided in you - they confided and you slipped them away: ⁵ they cried to you and escaped; they confided in you and shamed not. ⁶ I am but a maggot - not a man; a reproach of humanity despised of the people. ⁷ All who see me deride me; they bust out the lip, they shake the head, ⁸ saying, Roll on Yah Veh! He rescues him! He slips him away, seeing he delights in him! ⁹ For you are he who gushed me from the belly; to confide in you at the breasts of my mother. ¹⁰ I was cast on you from the womb; you are my El from the belly of my mother. ¹¹ Be not far from me; for tribulation is near: for there is no helper. ¹² Many bullocks surround me; the mighty of Bashan surround me: ¹³ they gape on me with their mouths as a tearing and a roaring lion. ¹⁴ I am poured as water and all my bones separate; my heart is as wax melted midst my inwards; ¹⁵ my force is dried as a potsherd; my tongue adheres to my prey; you set me into the dust of death. ¹⁶ For dogs surround me; the witness of vilifiers surround me: my hands and my feet as a lion. ¹⁷ I scribe all my bones; they look and see me; ¹⁸ they allot my clothes among them and toss pebbles for my robe. ¹⁹ And you, O Yah Veh, be not far from me; O my might, hasten to help me: ²⁰ rescue my soul from the sword; my only from the hand of the dog: ²¹ save me from the mouth of the lion; from the horns of the reems, answer me. ²² I scribe your name to my brothers; midst the congregation I halal you. ²³ You who awe Yah Veh, halal him; all you seed of Yaaqov, honor him; and dodge him, all you seed of Yisra El. ²⁴ For he neither despises nor abominates the humbling of the humble; nor hides his face from him; and in crying to him, he hears. ²⁵ My halal is of you in the great congregation; I shalam my vows in front of them who awe him. ²⁶ The humble eat - satisfied; they who seek Yah Veh halal him; your heart lives eternally. ²⁷ All the finalities of the world remember and turn to Yah Veh; and all the families of the goyim prostrate at your face. ²⁸ For the sovereigndom is to Yah Veh; he is the sovereign among the goyim. ²⁹ All the fat on earth eat and prostrate; all they who descend to the dust kneel at his face; and none enlivens his own soul. ³⁰ A seed serves him; - ascribed to Adonay for a generation. ³¹ They come and tell his justness to a people yet to be birthed - whom he has worked. ²³ ¹ A Psalm by David. Yah Veh Raah; I lack not. ² He reposes me in sprouting folds; he guides me beside the waters of rest: ³ He restores my soul; he leads me in the paths of justness for sake of his name. ⁴ Yes, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I awe no evil; for you are with me; your scion and your crutch sigh over me: ⁵ you arrange a table at my face in the presence of my tribulators; you anoint my head with ointment; my cup satiates. ⁶ Surely goodness and mercy pursue me all the days of my life; and I settle in the house of Yah Veh for a length of days. ²⁴ ¹ A Psalm by David. Unto Yah Veh is the earth and the fulness; the world and they who settle therein: ² for he founded it on the seas and established it on the rivers. ³ Who ascends into the mountain of Yah Veh? Who rises in his holy place? ⁴ He who has innocent palms and a pure heart; - who neither lifts his soul to vanity nor oaths deceitfully: ⁵ he lifts a blessing from Yah Veh and justness from Elohim of his salvation. ⁶ This is the generation of seekers who seek your face, O Yaaqov. Selah. ⁷ Lift your heads, O you portals; be lifted, you eternal portals; and the Sovereign of honor enters. ⁸ Who is this Sovereign of honor? Yah Veh strong and mighty! Yah Veh mighty in war! ⁹ Lift your heads, O you portals; be lifted, you eternal portals; and the Sovereign of honor enters. ¹⁰ Who is this Sovereign of honor? Yah Veh Sabaoth, he is the Sovereign of honor. Selah. ²⁵ ¹ By David. To you, O Yah Veh, I lift my soul; ² O my Elohim, I confide in you; may I neither shame nor my enemies jump for joy over me: ³ yes, may none who await you shame; shame them who deal vanity covertly. ⁴ Have me know your ways, O Yah Veh; teach me your paths: ⁵ aim me in your truth and teach me; for you are Elohim of my salvation: I await you all the day. ⁶ Remember, O Yah Veh, your tender mercies and your kind mercies; for they are eternal: ⁷ remember neither the sins of my youth nor my rebellions: according to your mercy remember me for sake of your goodness, O Yah Veh. ⁸ Good and straight is Yah Veh; so he teaches sinners in the way: ⁹ he aims the humble in judgment; and he teaches the humble his way. ¹⁰ All the paths of Yah Veh are mercy and truth to such as guard his covenant and his witnesses. ¹¹ For sake of your name, O Yah Veh, forgive my perversity; for it is great. ¹² What man is he who awes Yah Veh? He teaches him in the way he chooses. ¹³ His soul stays in goodness; and his seed possesses the earth: ¹⁴ the private counsel of Yah Veh is with them who awe him; and he has them know his covenant. ¹⁵ My eyes are continually toward Yah Veh; for he plucks my feet from the net. ¹⁶ Face me and grant me charism; for I am alone and humble: ¹⁷ the tribulations of my heart enlarge; bring me from my distresses. ¹⁸ See my humiliation and my toil; and lift all my sins: ¹⁹ see my enemies; for they abound by the myriads: and they hate me with hatred of violence. ²⁰ O guard my soul and rescue me that I shame not; for I seek my refuge in you: ²¹ Integrity and straightness guard me; for I await you: ²² redeem Yisra El, O Elohim, from all his tribulations. ²⁶ ¹ By David. Judge me, O Yah Veh; for I walk in my integrity: I confide in Yah Veh; I waver not. ² Proof me, O Yah Veh, proof me - refine my reins and my heart. ³ For your mercy is in front of my eyes and I walk in your truth: ⁴ I neither settle with vain men nor go with imposters: ⁵ I hate the congregation of vilifiers and settle not with the wicked: ⁶ I wash my palms in innocency; I surround your sacrifice altar, O Yah Veh: ⁷ that they hear the voice of spread hands and scribe of all your wondrous works. ⁸ O Yah Veh, I love the habitation of your house and the place of the tabernacle of your honor. ⁹ Neither gather my soul with sinners nor my life with men of blood ¹⁰ - in whose hands is intrigue and their right full of bribes. ¹¹ But as for me, I walk in my integrity; redeem me and grant me charism: ¹² my foot stands straight; I bless Yah Veh in the congregations. ²⁷ ¹ By David. Yah Veh is my light and my salvation; whom dread I? Yah Veh is the stronghold of my life; whom dread I? ² When the vilifiers - my tribulators and my enemies come on me to eat my flesh, they stumble and fall. ³ Though a camp encamp against me my heart awes not; though war rises against me in this I confide. ⁴ This one I ask of Yah Veh - I seek after: to settle in the house of Yah Veh all the days of my life; to see the pleasantness of Yah Veh and to search in his manse. ⁵ For in the day of evil he hides me in his sukkoth/brush arbor - in the covert of his tent he hides me - lifts me on a rock. ⁶ And now my head lifts above my enemies all around; and in his tent I sacrifice sacrifices of shouting; I sing, yes, I psalm to Yah Veh. ⁷ Hear, O Yah Veh, my voice - I call! Grant me charism and answer me. ⁸ My heart says to you, Seek my face; Your face, O Yah Veh, I seek. ⁹ Neither hide your face from me nor pervert your servant away in wrath; you are my help: neither leave me nor forsake me, O Elohim of my salvation. ¹⁰ When my father and my mother forsake me then Yah Veh gathers me. ¹¹ Teach me your way, O Yah Veh and lead me in a straight path because of my enemies. ¹² Give me not to the soul of my tribulators; for false witnesses rise against me - such as exhale violence. ¹³ I trusted not to see the goodness of Yah Veh in the land of the living. ¹⁴ Await Yah Veh! Prevail; and he strengthens your heart; yes, await Yah Veh. ²⁸ ¹ By David. To you I call, O Yah Veh my rock; hush not to me: if you hush to me I become as they who descend into the well. ² Hear the voice of my supplications when I cry to you - when I lift my hands toward the pulpit of your holies. ³ Draw me not away with the wicked - with the doers of mischief; who word shalom to their friends but evil is in their hearts. ⁴ Give them according to their deeds and according to the evil of their exploits; give them according to the work of their hands; return to them as they deal. ⁵ For they neither discern the deeds of Yah Veh nor the work of his hands; he demolishes them and builds them not. ⁶ Blessed be Yah Veh; for he hears the voice of my supplications. ⁷ Yah Veh is my strength and my buckler; my heart confides in him and I am helped: and my heart jumps for joy; and with my song I spread hands to him. ⁸ Yah Veh is their strength and he is the stronghold of salvations of his anointed. ⁹ Save your people and bless your inheritance; befriend them also and lift them eternally. ²⁹ ¹ A Psalm by David. Give to Yah Veh, O you sons of El; give to Yah Veh honor and strength; ² give to Yah Veh the honor of his name: prostrate to Yah Veh in the majesty of his holies. ³ The voice of Yah Veh is on the waters: the El of honor thunders; Yah Veh is on many waters: ⁴ - the voice of Yah Veh in force the voice of Yah Veh in majesty: ⁵ the voice of Yah Veh breaks the cedars; yes, Yah Veh breaks the cedars of Lebanon. ⁶ He has them dance as a calf - Lebanon and Shirion as a son of reems; ⁷ the voice of Yah Veh hews the flames of fire: ⁸ the voice of Yah Veh twirls the wilderness; Yah Veh twirls the wilderness of Qadesh: ⁹ the voice of Yah Veh causes the hinds to writhe and strips the forests: and in his manse all say of his honor. ¹⁰ Yah Veh settles on the flood; yes, Yah Veh settles, Sovereign eternal! ¹¹ Yah Veh gives strength to his people; Yah Veh blesses his people with shalom. ³⁰ ¹ A Psalm; A Song: at the hanukkah of the house of David. I exalt you, O Yah Veh; for you bail me up so that my enemies not cheer over me. ² O Yah Veh my Elohim I cry to you and you heal me. ³ O Yah Veh, you ascend my soul from sheol; you enliven me that I not descend to the well. ⁴ Psalm to Yah Veh, all you his mercied; spread hands at the memorial of his holiness: ⁵ his wrath is for but a blink; in his pleasure is life: weeping stays at evening but shouting at morning: ⁶ and in my serenity I say, I totter not eternally. ⁷ O Yah Veh, at your pleasure my mountain stands in strength; you hide your face and I terrify. ⁸ I call to you, O Yah Veh; and to Yah Veh I seek charism. ⁹ What gain is there in my blood when I descend to the pit of ruin? Does dust spread hands to you? - tell your truth? ¹⁰ Hear, O Yah Veh, and grant me charism; O Yah Veh, be my helper. ¹¹ Turn my chopping into round dancing; loose my saq and girt me with cheerfulness: ¹² so that my honor may psalm to you and not hush. O Yah Veh my Elohim, I spread hands to you eternally. ³¹ ¹ To His Eminence; A Psalm by David. In you, O Yah Veh, I seek refuge; shame me not eternally; slip me away in your justness: ² spread your ear to me; rescue me quickly; be my rock of stronghold - a house of stronghold to save me: ³ for you are my rock and my stronghold; for sake of your name lead me and guide me. ⁴ Pull me from the net they hide for me; for you are my stronghold: ⁵ into your hand I oversee my spirit; you redeemed me, O Yah Veh El of truth. ⁶ I hate them who regard vain vanities and I confide in Yah Veh; ⁷ I cheer and twirl in your mercy for you see my humiliation; you know my soul in tribulations. ⁸ And you shut me not in the hand of the enemy; you stand my feet in an expanse: ⁹ grant me charism, O Yah Veh, for I tribulate; my eye, my soul and my belly are motheaten with vexation. ¹⁰ For my life is finished off with grief and my years with sighing; my force falters because of my perversity and my bones are motheaten. ¹¹ I am a reproach among all my tribulators and mighty among my fellow tabernaclers and a dread to those I know; they who see me outside flee from me. ¹² I am forgotten as one dead of heart - as an instrument that destructs: ¹³ for I hear the slander of many; terror surrounds as they set counsel against me: they intrigue to take my soul. ¹⁴ And I - I confide in you, O Yah Veh; I say, You are my Elohim. ¹⁵ My times are in your hand; rescue me from the hand of my enemies - from them who pursue me: ¹⁶ light your face on your servant; save me for sake of your mercies: ¹⁷ shame me not, O Yah Veh; for I call on you: shame the wicked to hush in sheol; ¹⁸ mute the false lips who with pomp and disrespect word impudence against the just. ¹⁹ How great is your goodness which you treasure for them who awe you; which you work for them who seek refuge in you in front of the sons of humanity. ²⁰ Hide them in the covert of your face from the pride of man; hide them in a sukkoth/brush arbor from the strife of tongues. ²¹ Blessed - Yah Veh; for he shows me his marvellous mercy in a city with rampart. ²² And I - I say in my haste, I am cut off in front of your eyes! - surely you hear the voice of my supplications when I cry to you. ²³ O love Yah Veh, all you his mercied; Yah Veh guards the trustworthy and shalams the pompous worker. ²⁴ Prevail! and he strengthens your heart, all you who await Yah Veh. ³² ¹ By David; On Comprehension. Blithe - he whose rebellion is lifted; whose sin is covered: ² Blithe - humanity to whom Yah Veh fabricates not perversity and in whose spirit is no deceit. ³ When I hush, my bones become worn through my roaring all day long: ⁴ when by day and night your hand is heavy on me; my moisture turns into the parch of summer. Selah. ⁵ My sin, you know; and my perversity, I covered not: I say, I spread hands for my rebellions to Yah Veh; and you lift the perversity of my sin. Selah. ⁶ For this all the mercied pray to you in a time of finding you; surely in the overflowing of great waters they touch him not. ⁷ You are my covert; you guard me from tribulation: you surround me with shouts of escape. Selah. ⁸ I have you discern and teach you the way to go; I counsel you with my eye. ⁹ Be not as the horse or as the mule who discern not; whose mouth is muzzled with bit and bridle lest they come near to you. ¹⁰ Many are the sorrows of the wicked; as for him who confides in Yah Veh, mercy surrounds him. ¹¹ Cheer in Yah Veh and twirl, you just; and shout, all you straight in heart. ³³ ¹ Shout in Yah Veh, O you just; for halal befits the straight: ² spread hands to Yah Veh with harp; psalm to him with bagpipe and decachord: ³ sing to him a new song; strum well-pleasingly with a blast. ⁴ For the word of Yah Veh is straight; and all his works trustworthy: ⁵ he loves justness and judgment; the earth is full of the mercy of Yah Veh. ⁶ By the word of Yah Veh were the heavens worked; and all their host by the spirit/wind of his mouth: ⁷ he gathers the waters of the sea as a heap; he gives treasuries in the abyss. ⁸ All in the earth, awe Yah Veh; all settled in the world, dodge him. ⁹ For he says, and so be it; he misvahs, and it stands. ¹⁰ Yah Veh voids the counsel of the goyim; he annuls the fabrications of the people: ¹¹ the counsel of Yah Veh stands eternal; the fabrications of his heart generation to generation. ¹² Blithe - the goyim whose Elohim is Yah Veh; and the people whom he chose for his own inheritance. ¹³ Yah Veh sees from the heavens; he beholds all the sons of humanity: ¹⁴ from the establishment of his settlement he peers on all who settle on the earth: ¹⁵ he forms their hearts together; he discerns all their works. ¹⁶ Neither is the sovereign saved by the abundance of valour; nor the mighty rescued by the abundance of force. ¹⁷ A horse is a falsehood for salvation; he rescues not by his great valour. ¹⁸ Behold, the eye of Yah Veh is on them who awe him - on them who await his mercy; ¹⁹ to rescue their soul from death and to enliven them in famine. ²⁰ Our soul awaits Yah Veh; he is our help and our buckler. ²¹ For our heart cheers in him because we confide in his holy name. ²² May your mercy, O Yah Veh, be on us, according as we await you. ³⁴ ¹ By David; when he alters his taste at the face of Abi Melech; who exiles him and he goes. 1 I bless Yah Veh at all times; his halal is continually in my mouth: ² my soul halals in Yah Veh; the humble hear and cheer: ³ O greaten Yah Veh with me and exalt his name together. ⁴ I seek Yah Veh and he hears me - rescues me from all my terrors. ⁵ They look to him and sparkle; and their faces blushed not. ⁶ This humble one calls and Yah Veh hears and saves him from all his tribulations. ⁷ The angel of Yah Veh encamps around all who awe him; and rescues them. ⁸ O taste and see that Yah Veh is good; Blithe - the mighty who seek refuge in him. ⁹ Awe Yah Veh, you his holy; for there is no lack to them who awe him. ¹⁰ The whelps lack and famish; but they who seek Yah Veh lack not any good. ¹¹ Come, you sons, hearken to me; I teach you the awe of Yah Veh. ¹² What man desires life and loves days to see good? ¹³ Guard your tongue from evil and your lips from wording deceit: ¹⁴ turn from evil and work good; seek shalom and pursue it. ¹⁵ The eyes of Yah Veh are on the just and his ears to their cry. ¹⁶ The face of Yah Veh is against all who work evil, to cut off their memorial from the earth. ¹⁷ They cry and Yah Veh hears and rescues them from all their tribulations: ¹⁸ Yah Veh is near the crushed heart; and the contrite spirit he saves: ¹⁹ many are the evils of the just; Yah Veh rescues him from them all. ²⁰ He guards all his bones; not one of them is broken. ²¹ Evil deathifies the wicked; and they who hate the just guilt. ²² Yah Veh redeems the soul of his servants and none who seek refuge in him guilts. ³⁵ ¹ By David. Defend, O Yah Veh, from them who contend with me; fight them who fight me: ² uphold with buckler and shield and rise for my help: ³ and draw the spear; shut up and confront them who pursue me; say to my soul, I am your salvation. ⁴ Shame them - shame them who seek my soul; they who fabricate me evil apostatize and blush: ⁵ they are as chaff at the face of the wind; and in overthrowing, the angel of Yah Veh overthrows them; ⁶ their way is dark and slippery; and the angel of Yah Veh pursues them. ⁷ For gratuitously they hide their net for me in a pit of ruin, which they gratuitously dig for my soul: ⁸ devastation comes on him such as he never knew; and the net he hid captures him; into that very devastation he falls. ⁹ My soul twirls in Yah Veh - rejoices in his salvation. ¹⁰ All my bones say, O Yah Veh, who is likened to you, who rescues the humble from him who is stronger than he? - yes, the humble and the needy from him who strips him? ¹¹ Witnesses of violence rise; they ask me what I know not: ¹² they shalam me evil for good to the bereaving of my soul. ¹³ And I, in their sickness, enrobe with saq; I humble my soul with fasting: and my prayer returns into my own bosom. ¹⁴ I walk as a friend or brother; I prostrate darkened, as one mourns for a mother. ¹⁵ And in my limping they cheer and gather together; the smiters gather against me and I know it not; they rip and hush not. ¹⁶ With profaners, jeerers at bakings, they gnash on me with their teeth. ¹⁷ Adonay, until when see you me? Restore my soul from their devastations - my only from the whelps. ¹⁸ I spread hands to you in the great congregation; I halal you among mighty people. ¹⁹ May not my enemies cheer over me falsely; - blink with the eye, who hate me gratuitously. ²⁰ For they word not shalom; but fabricate words of deceit against them who rest in the land. ²¹ yes, they enlarge their mouth against me and say, Aha, aha, our eye sees! ²² You see, O Yah Veh; hush not. O Adonay, be not far from me. ²³ Waken - waken to my judgment - to my defence, my Elohim and my Adonay. ²⁴ Judge me, O Yah Veh my Elohim, according to your justness; that they not cheer over me: ²⁵ that they not say in their hearts, Aha, aha, O soul! that they not say, We swallowed him! ²⁶ Shame and blush them together who cheer at my evil; enrobe them with shame and dishonor who greaten against me: ²⁷ that they who delight in my justness shout and cheer; yes, that they say continually, Yah Veh is greatened, who delights in the shalom of his servant. ²⁸ And my tongue meditates of your justness and of your halal all the day long. ³⁶ ¹ To His Eminence; by David the servant of Yah Veh. The rebellion of the wicked oracles within my heart; the dread of Elohim is not in front of his eyes:
