Psalms 25:1-30:12

ECB(i) 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.
