“ His days [are] as grass, || He flourishes as a flower of the field; 16 For a wind has passed over it, and it is not, || And its place does not discern it anymore. 17 And the kindness of YHWH || [Is] from age even to age on those fearing Him, || And His righteousness to sons' sons, 18 To those keeping His covenant, || And to those remembering His precepts to do them. 19 YHWH has established His throne in the heavens, || And His kingdom has ruled over all. 20 Bless YHWH, you His messengers, || Mighty in power—doing His word, || To listen to the voice of His word. ”

“ Sheol [is] a dwelling for him. 15 Only, God ransoms my soul from the hand of Sheol, || For He receives me. Selah. 16 Do not fear when one makes wealth, || When the glory of his house is abundant, 17 For at his death he receives nothing, || His glory does not go down after him. 18 For he blesses his soul in his life || (And they praise you when you do well for yourself) . 19 It comes to the generation of his fathers, || They do not see the light forever. 20 Man in honor, who does not understand, || Has been like the beasts, they have been cut off! ”

“ Psalm 7 1 A SHIGGAION OF DAVID, THAT HE SUNG TO YHWH CONCERNING THE WORDS OF CUSH, A BENJAMITE. O YHWH, my God, in You I have trusted, || Save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me. 2 Lest he tear my soul as a lion, || Tearing, and there is no deliverer. 3 O YHWH, my God, if I have done this, || If there is iniquity in my hands, 4 If I have done my well-wisher evil, || And draw my adversary without cause, 5 [Then] an enemy pursues my soul, and overtakes, || And treads down my life to the earth, || And places my glory in the dust. ”

“ Psalm 94 1 God of vengeance—YHWH! God of vengeance, shine forth. 2 Be lifted up, judging the earth, || Send back a repayment on the proud. 3 Until when do the wicked, O YHWH—Until when do the wicked exult? 4 They utter—they speak arrogance, || All working iniquity boast [about] themselves. 5 Your people, O YHWH, they bruise, || And they afflict Your inheritance. 6 They slay widow and sojourner, || And they murder fatherless ones. 7 And they say, "YAH does not see, || And the God of Jacob does not consider." 8 Consider, you brutish among the people, || And you foolish, when do you act wisely? ”

“ Who has led me to Edom? 11 Have You not, O God, cast us off? And You do not go out, O God, with our hosts! 12 Give to us help from adversity, || And the salvation of man is vain. 13 We do mightily in God, || And He treads down our adversaries!
Psalm 109 1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. O God of my praise, do not be silent, 2 For the mouth of wickedness, and the mouth of deceit, || They have opened against me, || They have spoken with me—A tongue of falsehood, and words of hatred! 3 They have surrounded me about, || And they fight me without cause. ”

“ Sounds all His praise? 3 O the blessedness of those keeping judgment, || Doing righteousness at all times. 4 Remember me, O YHWH, || With the favor of Your people, || Look after me in Your salvation. 5 To look on the good of Your chosen ones, || To rejoice in the joy of Your nation, || To boast myself with Your inheritance. 6 We have sinned with our fathers, || We have done perversely, we have done wickedly. 7 Our fathers in Egypt, || Have not considered wisely Your wonders, || They have not remembered || The abundance of Your kind acts, || And provoke by the sea, at the Sea of Suph. ”

“ Psalm 79 1 A PSALM OF ASAPH. O God, nations have come into Your inheritance, || They have defiled Your holy temple, || They made Jerusalem become heaps, 2 They gave the dead bodies of Your servants || [As] food for the birds of the heavens, || The flesh of Your saints || For the wild beast of the earth. 3 They have shed their blood || As water around Jerusalem, || And there is none burying. 4 We have been a reproach to our neighbors, || A scorn and a derision to our surrounders. 5 Until when, O YHWH? Are You angry forever? Your jealousy burns as fire. ”

“ Psalm 101 1 A PSALM OF DAVID. I sing kindness and judgment, || To You, O YHWH, I sing praise. 2 I act wisely in a perfect way, || When do You come to me? I habitually walk in the integrity of my heart, || In the midst of my house. 3 I do not set a worthless thing before my eyes, || I have hated the work of those turning aside, || It does not adhere to me. 4 A perverse heart turns aside from me, || I do not know wickedness. ”

“ He who forms the eye, does He not see? 10 He who is instructing nations, does He not reprove? He who is teaching man knowledge [is] YHWH. 11 He knows the thoughts of man, that they [are] vanity. 12 O the blessedness of the man || Whom You instruct, O YAH, || And teach him out of Your law, 13 To give rest to him from days of evil, || While a pit is dug for the wicked. 14 For YHWH does not leave His people, || And does not forsake His inheritance. 15 For judgment turns back to righteousness, || And after it all the upright of heart. 16 Who rises up for me with evildoers? ”

“ The imaginations of the heart transgressed; 8 They do corruptly, || And they speak in the wickedness of oppression, || They speak from on high. 9 They have set their mouth in the heavens, || And their tongue walks in the earth. 10 Therefore His people return here, || And waters of fullness are wrung out to them. 11 And they have said, "How has God known? And is there knowledge in the Most High?" 12 Behold, these [are] the wicked and easy ones of the age, || They have increased strength. ”

“ I rejoice on Your salvation. 15 Nations have sunk in a pit they made, || Their foot has been captured in a net that they hid. 16 YHWH has been known, || He has done judgment; By a work of his hands || The wicked has been snared. Meditation. Selah. 17 The wicked turn back to Sheol, || All nations forgetting God. 18 For the needy is not forgotten forever, || [Nor] the hope of the humble lost for all time. 19 Rise, O YHWH, do not let man be strong, || Let nations be judged before Your face. 20 Appoint them to fear, O YHWH, || Let nations know they [are] men! ”

“ Psalm 97 1 YHWH has reigned, || The earth is joyful, many islands rejoice. 2 Cloud and darkness [are] around Him, || Righteousness and judgment the basis of His throne. 3 Fire goes before Him, || And burns around His adversaries. 4 His lightnings have lightened the world, || The earth has seen, and is pained. 5 Hills, like wax, melted before YHWH, || Before the Lord of all the earth. 6 The heavens declared His righteousness, || And all the peoples have seen His glory. 7 All servants of a carved image are ashamed, || Those boasting themselves in idols, || Bow yourselves to Him, all you gods. ”

“ You have scattered Your enemies with the arm of Your strength. 11 The heavens [are] Yours, || The earth [is] also Yours, || The habitable world and its fullness, || You have founded them. 12 North and south You have appointed them, || Tabor and Hermon sing in Your Name. 13 You have an arm with might, || Strong is Your hand—high Your right hand. 14 Righteousness and judgment || [Are] the fixed place of Your throne, || Kindness and truth go before Your face. 15 O the blessedness of the people knowing the shout, || O YHWH, they habitually walk in the light of Your face. ”

“ Psalm 112 1 Praise YAH! [ALEPH-BET] O the blessedness of one fearing YHWH, || He has greatly delighted in His commands. 2 His seed is mighty in the earth, || The generation of the upright is blessed. 3 Wealth and riches [are] in his house, || And his righteousness is standing forever. 4 Light has risen in darkness to the upright, || Gracious, and merciful, and righteous. 5 The man—good, gracious, and lending, || He sustains his matters in judgment. 6 For he is not moved for all time; For the righteous is a continuous memorial. ”

“ Psalm 52 1 TO THE OVERSEER. AN INSTRUCTION OF DAVID, IN THE COMING IN OF DOEG THE EDOMITE, AND HE DECLARES TO SAUL AND SAYS TO HIM, "DAVID CAME TO THE HOUSE OF AHIMELECH." Why do you boast in evil, O mighty one? The kindness of God [is] all the day. 2 Your tongue devises mischiefs, || Like a sharp razor, working deceit. 3 You have loved evil rather than good, || Lying, than speaking righteousness. ”

“ Selah. 9 We have thought, O God, of Your kindness, || In the midst of Your temple, 10 As [is] Your Name, O God, so [is] Your praise, || Over the ends of the earth, || Righteousness has filled Your right hand. 11 Mount Zion rejoices, || The daughters of Judah are joyful, || For the sake of Your judgments. 12 Surround Zion, and go around her, count her towers, 13 Set your heart to her bulwark, || Consider her high places, || So that you recount to a later generation, 14 That this God [is] our God—For all time and forever, || He leads us over death! ”

“ God Himself [is] our salvation. Selah. 20 God Himself [is] to us a God for deliverances, || And YHWH Lord has the outgoings of death. 21 Only—God strikes || The head of His enemies, || The hairy crown of a habitual walker in his guilt. 22 The Lord said: "From Bashan I bring back, || I bring back from the depths of the sea. 23 So that you dash your foot || In the blood of enemies—the tongue of Your dogs." 24 They have seen Your goings, O God, || Goings of my God, my king, in the sanctuary. ”

“ YHWH, || Of the people He chose, || For an inheritance to Him. 13 YHWH has looked from the heavens, || He has seen all the sons of men. 14 From the fixed place of His dwelling, || He looked to all inhabitants of the earth; 15 Who is forming their hearts together, || Who is attending to all their works. 16 The king is not saved by the multitude of a force. A mighty man is not delivered, || By abundance of power. 17 A false thing [is] the horse for safety, || And he does not deliver || By the abundance of his strength. ”

“ Your works [are] wonderful, || And my soul is knowing [it] well. 15 My substance was not hid from You, || When I was made in secret, || Curiously worked in the lower part of earth. 16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance, || And all of them are written on Your scroll, || The days they were formed—And not one among them. 17 And how precious Your thoughts have been to me, || O God, how great has been their sum! 18 I recount them! They are more than the sand, || I have awoken, and I am still with You. 19 Do You slay, O God, the wicked? ”

“ Psalm 114 1 In the going out of Israel from Egypt, || The house of Jacob from a strange people, 2 Judah became His sanctuary, || Israel his dominion. 3 The sea has seen, and flees, || The Jordan turns backward. 4 The mountains have skipped as rams, || Heights as sons of a flock. 5 What is [ailing] you, O sea, that you flee? O Jordan, you turn back! 6 O mountains, you skip as rams! O heights, as sons of a flock! 7 From before the Lord be afraid, O earth, || From before the God of Jacob, 8 He is turning the rock to a pool of waters, || The flint to a fountain of waters! ”

“ My soul has been consumed for Your salvation, || I have hoped for Your word. 82 My eyes have been consumed for Your word, || Saying, "When does it comfort me?" 83 For I have been as a bottle in smoke, || I have not forgotten Your statutes. 84 How many [are] the days of Your servant? When do You execute judgment || Against my pursuers? 85 The proud have dug pits for me, || That [are] not according to Your law. 86 All Your commands [are] faithfulness, || They have pursued me [with] falsehood, || Help me. 87 They have almost consumed me on earth, || And I have not forsaken Your precepts. ”

“ With what does a young man purify his path? To observe—according to Your word. 10 I have sought You with all my heart, || Do not let me err from Your commands. 11 I have hid Your saying in my heart, || That I do not sin before You. 12 Blessed [are] You, O YHWH, teach me Your statutes. 13 With my lips I have recounted || All the judgments of Your mouth. 14 I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies, || As over all wealth. 15 I meditate on Your precepts, || And I attentively behold Your paths. 16 I delight myself in Your statutes, || I do not forget Your word. ”

“ Psalm 115 1 Not to us, O YHWH, not to us, || But to Your Name give glory, || For Your kindness, for Your truth. 2 Why do the nations say, "Where, pray, [is] their God?" 3 And our God [is] in the heavens, || All that He has pleased He has done. 4 Their idols [are] silver and gold, work of man's hands, 5 They have a mouth, and they do not speak, || They have eyes, and they do not see, 6 They have ears, and they do not hear, || They have a nose, and they do not smell, 7 Their hands, but they do not handle, || Their feet, and they do not walk ”

“ Psalm 74 1 AN INSTRUCTION OF ASAPH. Why, O God, have You cast off forever? Your anger smokes against the flock of Your pasture. 2 Remember Your congregation || [That] You purchased of old, || You redeemed the rod of Your inheritance, || This Mount Zion—You dwelt in it. 3 Lift up Your steps to the continuous desolations, || Everything the enemy did wickedly in the sanctuary. 4 Your adversaries have roared, || In the midst of Your meeting-places, || They have set their ensigns as ensigns. 5 He is known as one bringing in on high || Against a thicket of wood—axes. ”

“ YHWH who has not given us, || [As] prey to their teeth. 7 Our soul has escaped as a bird from a snare of fowlers, || The snare was broken, and we have escaped. 8 Our help [is] in the Name of YHWH, || Maker of the heavens and earth!
Psalm 125 1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. Those trusting in YHWH [are] as Mount Zion, || It is not moved—it abides for all time. 2 Jerusalem! Mountains [are] around her, || And YHWH [is] around His people, || From now on—even for all time. 3 For the rod of wickedness does not rest on the lot of the righteous, || That the righteous do not put forth their hands on iniquity. ”
