1 To the chief musician, A Psalm of David. O God of my praise, do not be silent;
2 for the mouth of the wicked, and the deceitful mouth, are opened against me; they spoke against me with a lying tongue.
3 And they hemmed me in with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.
4 In return for my love, they are my enemies; but I am in prayer.
5 And they put on me evil for good; and hatred for my love.
6 Set a wicked man over him; and let an adversary stand at his right hand;
7 when he is judged, let him go out wicked; and let his prayer become sin;
8 let his days be few; and let another take his office;
9 his sons be orphans, and his wife a widow;
10 and let his sons always beg and wander, and seek food out of their ruins;
11 let the moneylender lay a snare for all that is his; and let strangers plunder his labor;
12 let there be none giving mercy to him; nor any to have pity on his orphans;
13 let his posterity be cut off; let their name be blotted out in the following generation;
14 let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered to Jehovah; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out;
15 let them be always before Jehovah, so that He may cut off the memory of them from the earth;
16 because he did not remember to do mercy; and persecuted the poor and needy man; even to kill the broken-hearted.
17 Yea, he loved cursing, and it came to him; he also had no pleasure in blessing, and it was far from him.
18 As he clothed himself with cursing, as with a robe, even it came into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.
19 Let it be to him as a garment he wraps in, and for a girdle that he always girds on.
20 This is the reward of my foes from Jehovah, and of those who speak evil against my soul.
21 But You, O Jehovah the Lord, work with me for Your name's sake; deliver me because Your mercy is good.
22 For I am poor and needy, and my heart is pierced within me.
23 As a shadow when it stretches out, I am gone; I am shaken off like the locust.
24 My knees stumble from fasting, and my flesh grows lean from fatness.
25 And I have become a reproach to them; they looked at me; they shook their heads.
26 O Jehovah my God, help me; save me according to Your mercy;
27 and they will know that this is Your hand; that You, O Jehovah, have done it.
28 They will curse, but You will bless; they rise up and are ashamed; but Your servant will be glad.
29 Let those who accuse me be clothed with shame; and cover themselves in their shame as with a robe.
30 I will greatly thank Jehovah with my mouth; yea, I will praise Him in the midst of the multitude.
31 For He shall stand at the right hand of the needy; to save from those judging his soul.
110 1 A Psalm of David. A statement of Jehovah to my Lord: Sit at My right hand, until I place Your enemies as Your footstool.
2 Jehovah shall send the rod of Your strength out of Zion; rule in the midst of Your enemies.
3 Your people shall be willing in the day of Your power; in holy adornment from the womb of the dawn, to You is the dew of Your youth.
4 Jehovah has sworn and will not repent: You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.
5 The Lord at Your right hand shatters kings in the day of His anger.
6 He shall judge among the nations; He shall fill with dead bodies; He shall shatter heads over much land.
7 He shall drink out of the torrent on the way; therefore, He shall lift up the head.
111 1 Praise Jehovah! I will thank Jehovah with all my heart; in the council of the upright, and of the assembly.
2 The works of Jehovah are great, sought out by all those desiring them.
3 His work is honorable and glorious; and His righteousness is standing forever.
4 He has made a memorial for His wonders; Jehovah is gracious and full of pity.
5 He has given food to those who fear Him; He will always remember His covenant.
6 He has shown to His people the power of His works, to give to them inheritance of the nations.
7 The works of His hands are truth and all His commandments are true,
8 standing firm forever and ever; they are done in truth and uprightness.
9 He sent redemption to His people; He has commanded His covenant forever; holy and awesome is His name.
10 The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; all who practice them have a good understanding; His praise is standing forever!
112 1 Praise Jehovah! Blessed is the man who fears Jehovah, delighting greatly in His commands.
2 His seed shall be mighty on the earth; the generation of the upright shall be blessed;
3 wealth and riches in his house; and his righteousness is standing forever.
4 Light rises in the darkness to the upright; he is gracious and full of pity, and of righteousness.
5 Good is a man showing favor and lending; he will nourish his matters with equity.
6 For he shall not be shaken forever; the righteous shall be for a memorial forever.
7 He shall not be afraid of evil news; his heart is fixed, trusting in Jehovah.
8 His heart is upheld; he shall not be afraid though he looks on his foes.
9 He has scattered; he has given to the needy; his righteousness is standing forever; his horn shall be lifted up with honor.
10 The wicked shall see and be vexed; he shall gnash his teeth and melt; the desire of the wicked shall perish.
113 1 Praise Jehovah! Praise, O servants of Jehovah; praise the name of Jehovah.
2 Blessed is the name of Jehovah from now on and forevermore.
3 From the rising of the sun to its going, Jehovah's name is to be praised.
4 Jehovah is high above all nations; His glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like Jehovah our God, who sits on high to dwell;
6 Who humbles Himself to consider all in the earth and the heavens!
7 He raises up the poor from the dust; He lifts the needy out of the dunghill;
8 in order to make him sit with nobles, with the nobles of his people.
9 He causes the barren to live in the house as the joyful mother of sons. Praise Jehovah!
114 1 When Israel came out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
2 Judah became His sanctuary, Israel His kingdom.
3 The sea looked and fled; the Jordan turned back;
4 the mountains skipped like rams; the little hills like lambs!
5 What ails you, O sea, that you flee? O Jordan, that you turn back?
6 O mountains, that you skip like rams? O little hills, like lambs?
7 Tremble, O earth, from the face of the Lord, from the face of the God of Jacob;
8 who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
115 1 Not to us, O Jehovah, not to us, but to Your name give glory; for Your mercy; because of Your truth.
2 Why do the nations say, Where is their God now?
3 But our God is in Heaven; He has done all that He has pleased.
4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of man's hands;
5 they have mouths, but they do not speak; they have eyes, but they do not see;
6 they have ears, but they do not hear; they have a nose, but they do not smell;
7 their hands do not feel; their feet do not walk; they do not mutter through their throat.
8 The ones who make them are like them, and everyone trusting in them.
9 O Israel, trust in Jehovah; He is their help and their shield.
10 O house of Aaron, trust in Jehovah; He is their help and their shield.
11 You who fear Jehovah, trust in Jehovah; He is their help and their shield.
12 Jehovah remembers us; He will bless; He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron;
13 He will bless those who fear Jehovah, the small and the great.
14 Jehovah will add on to you; on you and on your sons.
15 You are blessed to Jehovah, He who makes heavens and earth.
16 The heavens; the heavens are Jehovah's, but He has given the earth to the sons of men.
17 The dead do not praise Jehovah, nor all those who go down into silence;
18 but we will bless Jehovah, from now on and forever. Praise Jehovah!
116 1 I love Jehovah because He hears my voice, my prayers.
2 Because He has bowed His ear to me, I will also call in my days.
3 The cords of death hemmed me in; and the pains of Sheol found me; I find distress and sorrow;
4 then I call on the name of Jehovah: O Jehovah, I beseech You, deliver my soul!
5 Jehovah is gracious and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.
6 Jehovah keeps the simple; I was low, but He saved me.
7 Return to your rest, O soul; for Jehovah has blessed you.
8 For You have delivered my soul from death, my eye from tears, my feet from stumbling.
9 I will walk before the face of Jehovah in the lands of the living.
10 I believed; so I speak; I was greatly afflicted;
11 I said in my alarm, All men are liars.
12 What shall I return to Jehovah for His benefits to me?
13 I will lift up the cup of salvation, and I will call on the name of Jehovah.
14 I will pay my vows to Jehovah now in the presence of all His people.
15 Precious in the eyes of Jehovah is the death of His saints.
16 O Jehovah, truly I am Your servant now; I am Your servant, the son of Your handmaid; You have loosed my bonds.
17 I will sacrifice to You the sacrifice of thanks and will call on the name of Jehovah.
18 I will pay my vows to Jehovah now in the presence of all His people,
19 in the courts of the house of Jehovah; in your midst, O Jerusalem. Praise Jehovah!
117 1 Praise Jehovah, all nations; praise Him, all peoples;
2 for His mercy is mighty over us, and the truth of Jehovah is forever. Praise Jehovah!
118 1 Give thanks to Jehovah, for He is good; because His mercy endures forever.
2 Let Israel say now that His mercy endures forever.
3 Let the house of Aaron say now that His mercy endures forever.
4 Let those who fear Jehovah say now that His mercy endures forever.
5 I called Jehovah from the distress; He answered me in the large place of Jehovah.
6 Jehovah is for me; I will not fear; what can man do to me?
7 Jehovah is for me among those who help me, and I shall see my desire on those who hate me.
8 It is better to trust in Jehovah than to trust in man;
9 it is better to trust in Jehovah than to trust in princes.
10 All the nations surround me; but surely I will destroy them in the name of Jehovah.
11 They surround me; yea, they surround me; I surely will destroy them in the name of Jehovah.
12 they surround me like bees; they are quenched like the fire of thorns; for surely I will cut them off in the name of Jehovah.
13 Pushing, you pushed me to fall; but Jehovah helped me.
14 Jehovah is my strength and my song; and He is my salvation.
15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous; the right hand of Jehovah works mightily.
16 The right hand of Jehovah is exalted; the right hand of Jehovah acts mightily.
17 I shall not die, but I shall live and declare the works of Jehovah.
18 Jehovah has grievously chastened me, but He has not given me to death.
19 Open the gates of righteousness to me, I will enter into them; I will thank Jehovah.
20 This is the gate of Jehovah, the righteous shall enter into it.
21 I will thank You, for You answered me, and are my salvation.
22 The Stone which the builders rejected has become the Head of the corner.
23 This is from Jehovah, it is marvelous in our eyes.
24 This is the day Jehovah has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
25 O Jehovah, I beseech You, save now; I beseech You, O Jehovah, cause us to prosper now.
26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of Jehovah; we blessed you from the house of Jehovah.
27 Jehovah is God, and He gives light to us. Tie the sacrifice with cords, to the horns of the altar.
28 You are my God, and I will exalt You; My God, I will thank You!
29 O give thanks to Jehovah, for He is good; for His mercy endures forever.
119 1 Aleph Blessed are the upright in the way, who walk in the law of Jehovah.
2 Blessed are those keeping His testimonies, who seek Him with the whole heart.
3 They also do not work evil; they walk in His way.
4 You have commanded to carefully keep Your precepts.
5 O that my ways were fixed to keep Your statutes!
6 Then I shall not be ashamed, when I look to all Your commands.
7 I will thank You with integrity of heart, in my learning the judgments of Your righteousness.
8 I will keep Your statutes; do not forsake me utterly.

21 You have rebuked the proud, the cursed ones who go astray from Your commands.
22 Roll from me reproach and scorn; for I have kept Your testimonies.
23 Princes also sat, speaking against me; but Your servant meditates on Your laws.
24 Your testimonies also are my delight and my counselors.
25 Daleth. My soul clings to the dust; give me life according to Your word.
26 I have declared my ways, and You answered me; teach me Your statutes.
27 Make me understand the way of Your precepts, and I will meditate on Your wonders.
28 My soul drops with grief; Lift me up according to Your word.
29 Remove from me the way of lying, and favor me with Your law.
30 I have chosen the way of truth; I have held Your judgments level;
31 I have clung to Your testimonies; O Jehovah, do not shame me.
32 I will run the way of Your commands, for You shall enlarge my heart.

42 And I will answer my reprover a word; for I trust in Your word.
43 And do not take the word of truth completely out of my mouth; for I have hoped in Your judgments.
44 And I shall keep Your law continually, forever and ever.
45 And I will walk in a wide space, for I seek Your commands.
46 And I will speak of Your testimonies before kings, and will not be ashamed.
47 And I will delight myself in Your commandments, which I have loved.
48 And I will lift up my hands to Your commandments that I love; and I will meditate on Your statutes.
