1 [David’s.]
Do me justice, O Yahweh, For, I, in my blamelessness, have walked, and, in Yahweh, have I trusted, I will not waver. 2 Try me, O Yahweh, and prove me, Test my reins and my heart:–– 3 For, thy lovingkindness, hath been before mine eyes, and I have walked to and fro in thy faithfulness; 4 I have not sat with men of deceit, nor, with dissemblers, would I enter; 5 I have hated the convocation of evil–doers, and, with lawless men, would I not sit;
6 I will bathe, in pureness, my hands,––so will I go in procession around thine altar, O Yahweh; 7 To sound aloud a song, and to recount all thy wonderful doings. 8 O Yahweh, I have loved the asylum of thy house, even the place of the habitation of thy glory! 9 Do not remove, with sinners, my soul, nor, with men of bloodshed, my life; 10 In whose hands is a plot, and, their right hand, is filled with a bribe. 11 But, I, in my blamelessness, will walk, Redeem me and show me favour. 12 My foot standeth in a level place, In the convocations, will I bless Yahweh.
27 1 [David’s.]
Yahweh, is my light and my salvation, Of whom shall I be afraid? Yahweh, is the refuge of my life, Of whom shall I be in dread? 2 When there drew near against me evil–doers to devour my flesh, mine adversaries, and mine enemies––mine!––they, stumbled and fell! 3 Though there pitch against me––a camp, my heart shall not fear,––Though there come up against me––a battle, still, am I confident. 4 One thing, have I asked of Yahweh, That, will I seek to secure,––That I may dwell in the house of Yahweh, all the days of my life, To view the delightfulness of Yahweh, And to contemplate in his temple. 5 For he will hide me in his pavilion, in the day of calamity,––He will conceal me, in the secrecy of his tent, Within a rock, will he set me on high. 6 Now, therefore, shall my head be raised high above my foes round about me, and I will sacrifice in his tent the sacrifices of triumphant joy, I will sing and touch the strings, to Yahweh.
7 Hear, O Yahweh, With my voice, do I cry, Oh then show me favour and answer me. 8 To thee, said my heart––[When thou saidst] Seek ye my face––Thy face, O Yahweh, will I seek! 9 Do not hide thy face from me, Do not repulse, in thine anger, thine own servant,––My help, thou hast been, Do not send me away nor forsake me, O my saving God! 10 When, my own father and mother, had forsaken me, Then, Yahweh, took me up! 11 Point out to me, O Yahweh, thy way,––And guide me in a level path, because of mine adversaries. 12 Do not give me up unto the desire of mine adversaries, for there have risen up against me witnesses that are false, and he that fanneth up violence. 13 I believe that I shall see––The goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living, 14 Wait thou for Yahweh,––Be strong, and let thy heart be bold, Wait, then, for Yahweh!
28 1 [David’s.]
Unto thee, O Yahweh, do I cry, O my Rock! do not turn in silence from me,––lest, if thou turn from me in silence, I be like them who go down into the pit. 2 Hear the voice of my supplication, when I cry to thee for help, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy shrine. 3 Do not drag me away––with the lawless, or with the workers of iniquity,––who speak peaceably with their neighbours, but, wrong, is in their heart. 4 Give them, according to their deed, and, according to the wrong of their practices,––According to the work of their own hands, give thou unto them, Bring back their own dealing to themselves. 5 Because they heed not The Deeds of Yahweh, or the Work of his hands, he will pull them down, and not build them.
6 Blessed be Yahweh, Because he hath heard the voice of my supplication. 7 Yahweh, is my strength and my shield, In him, hath trusted my heart, and I have found help,––Therefore hath my heart danced for joy, and, with my song, do I praise him. 8 Yahweh, is strength to his people,––And, the all–saving refuge of his Anointed One, is he! 9 Oh save thy people, and bless thine inheritance, Tend them also, and carry them, Unto times age–abiding.
29 1 [A Melody of David.]
Give to Yahweh, ye sons of the mighty,––Give to Yahweh, [both] glory and strength: 2 Give to Yahweh, the glory of his Name, Bow down to Yahweh, in the adornment of holiness. 3 The voice of Yahweh, is upon the waters,––The GOD of glory, hath thundered, Yahweh, is upon mighty waters; 4 The voice of Yahweh, is with power, The voice of Yahweh, is with majesty; 5 The voice of Yahweh, is breaking cedars, Now hath Yahweh, broken down, the cedars of Lebanon! 6 And hath made them leap like a calf, Lebanon and Sirion, like the bull–calf of wild–oxen; 7 The voice of Yahweh, is cleaving out flames of fire; 8 The voice of Yahweh, bringeth birth–pains upon the wilderness; Yahweh bringeth birth–pains upon the wilderness of Kadesh! 9 The voice of Yahweh, causeth the gazelles to bring forth, and hath stript forests; and, in his own temple, every one there, is saying, Glory! 10 Yahweh, at the Flood, was seated, And Yahweh hath taken his seat, as king, unto times age–abiding. 11 Yahweh, will give, strength to his people,––Yahweh, will bless his people with prosperity.
30 1 [A Melody. A Song for the Dedication of the House. David’s.]
I will extol thee, O Yahweh, for thou hast drawn me up,––and not suffered my foes to rejoice over me. 2 O Yahweh, my God, I cried for help unto thee, and thou hast healed me. 3 O Yahweh! thou hast lifted, out of hades, my soul, Thou hast brought me back to life, from among those who were going down to the pit. 4 Sweep the strings to Yahweh, ye his men of lovingkindness, and give ye praise at the mention of his holiness. 5 For there is, a Moment, in his anger, a Life–time, in his good–pleasure, In the evening, cometh Weeping to lodge, But, by the morning, ‘tis a Shout of Triumph!
6 But, I, said, in my tranquility, I shall not be shaken to times age–abiding! 7 O Yahweh, in thy good–pleasure, hadst thou caused my mountain to stand, strong,––Thou didst hide thy face––I was dismayed! 8 Unto thee, O Yahweh, do I cry,––and, unto My Lord, do I make supplication: 9 What profit in my blood? in my going down into the pit? Can dust praise thee? Can it declare thy faithfulness? 10 Hear, O Yahweh, and show me favour, O Yahweh! become thou a helper unto me. 11 Thou hast turned my lamentation, into a dance for me,––Thou hast torn off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness: 12 To the end that mine honour should make melody unto thee, and not be silent. O Yahweh, my God! Unto times age–abiding, will I praise thee.
