PSALMS

CHAPTER 1

1 Joyful is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the way of transgressors, nor sit in the seat of scoffers;

2 But his delight is in the Thur’ath of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH). On His Thur’ath he meditates day and night.

3 He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper.

4 The wicked are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor transgressors in the congregation of the righteous.

6 For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.

CHAPTER 2

1 Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot a vain thing?

2 The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take counsel together, against 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), and against His Anointed, saying,

3 "Let us break their bonds apart, and cast their cords from us."

4 He who sits in the shama'ym will laugh. The Sovereign will have them in derision.

5 Then He will speak to them in His anger, and troubles them in His wrath:

6 "Yet I have placed my Sovereign on my Made Apart Mountain of Tsa'yun (Tsa’yoon).”

7 I will tell of the decree. 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) said to me, "You are My son. Today I have become Your father.

8 Ask of Me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance, the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.

9 You shall break them with a rod of iron. You shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel."

10 Now therefore be discerned, you kings. Be instructed, you rulers of the earth.

11 Serve 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

12 Kiss The Son, lest He be angry, and you perish in the way, for His wrath will soon be kindled. Joyful are all those who take refuge in Him.

CHAPTER 3

1  A Psalm for Dau’yad: O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), how my adversaries have increased! Many are those who rise up against me.

2 Many there are who say of my being, "There is no help for him in ALUAH." Salah.

3 But You, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), are a shield around me, my esteem, and The One who lifts up my head.

4 I cry to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) with my voice, and He answers me out of His Made Apart Mountain. Salah.

5 I laid myself down and slept. I awakened; for 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) sustains me.

6 I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people who have placed themselves against me on every side.

7 Arise, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH)! Save me, my ALUAH! For You have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone. You have broken the teeth of the wicked.

8 Rescue belongs to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH). Your Barak’ath be on Your people. Salah.

CHAPTER 4

1 For the Chief Musician, with the stringed instruments. A Psalm for Dau’yad: Answer me when I call, O ALUAH of my righteousness. Give me relief from my distress. Have compassion on me, and hear my prayer.

2 You sons of men, how long shall my esteem be turned into shame? Will you love vanity, and seek after falsehood? Salah.

3 But know that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) has Made Apart for Himself him who is kind: 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) will hear when I call to him.

4 Stand in awe, and don't transgress. Search your own heart on your bed, and be still. Salah.

5 Offer the slaughterings of righteousness. Put your trust in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH).

6 Many say, "Who will show us any good?" 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), let the Light of Your Face shine on us.

7 You have put gladness in my heart, more than when their grain and their new wine are increased.

8 In shalum (peace) I will both lay myself down and sleep, for You, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) alone, make me dwell in safety.

CHAPTER 5

1 For the Chief Musician, with the flutes. A Psalm for Dau’yad: Give ear to my words, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH). Consider my meditation.

2 Listen to the voice of my cry, my Sovereign and my ALUAH; for to You do I pray.

3 O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), in the rising You shall hear my voice. In the rising I will lay my requests before You, and will watch expectantly.

4 For You are not an AL who has pleasure in wickedness. Evil cannot dwell with You.

5 The arrogant shall not stand in Your sight. You hate all workers of iniquity.

6 You will destroy those who speak lies. 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

7 But as for me, in the abundance of Your loving kindness I will come into Your House. I will bow toward Your Made Apart Hayakal in reverence of You.

8 Lead me, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make Your way straight before my face.

9 For there is no establishment in their mouth. Their heart is destruction. Their throat is an open tomb. They flatter with their tongue.

10 Hold them guilty, ALUAH. Let them fall by their own counsels; Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against You.

11 But let all those who take refuge in You rejoice, Let them always shout for joy, because You defend them. Let them also who Love Your Name be joyful in You.

12 For You will Barak the righteous. 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), You will surround him with favor as with a shield.

CHAPTER 6

1 For the Chief Musician; with stringed instruments, upon the eight-stringed lyre. A Psalm for Dau’yad:

O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), don't rebuke me in Your anger, neither discipline me in Your wrath.

2 Have compassion on me, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), for I am faint. O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), heal me, for my bones are troubled.

3 My being is also in great anguish. But You, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH)—how long?

4 Return, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH). Save my being, and save me for Your loving kindness' sake.

5 For in death there is no memory of You. In Sha'ul, who shall give You thanks?

6 I am weary with my groaning. Every night I flood my bed. I drench my couch with my tears.

7 My eye wastes away because of grief. It grows old because of all my adversaries.

8 Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, for 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) has heard the voice of my weeping.

9 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) has heard my supplication. 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) accepts my prayer.

10 Let all my enemies be ashamed and dismayed. They shall turn back, they shall be ashamed suddenly.

CHAPTER 7

1 A Shag’yun (Shag’yoon)* For Dau’yad, which he sang to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), concerning the words of Kush (Koosh), The Ban’yama’yan’ya: O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) MY ALUAH, I take refuge in You. Save me from all those who pursue me, and rescue me,

*To mean ode or poem or meditation

2 lest they tear apart my being like a lion, ripping it in pieces, while there is none to save.

3 O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), my ALUAH, if I have done this, if there is iniquity in my hands

4 if I have rewarded evil to him who was at shalam (peace) with me, or if I have rescued him who without cause was my adversary,

5 let the enemy pursue my being, and overtake it; yes, let him tread my being down to the earth, and lay my esteem in the dust. Salah.

6 Arise, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), in Your anger. Lift up Yourself against the rage of my adversaries. Awake, MY AL. You have commanded judgment.

7 Let the congregation of the peoples surround You. Rule over them on high.

8 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) judges the peoples. Judge me, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), according to my righteousness, and to my integrity that is in me.

9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous; their minds and hearts are searched by the righteous ALUAH.

10 My shield is with ALUAH, who saves the upright in heart.

11 ALUAH is a righteous judge, and AL who has indignation every day.

12 If a man doesn't repent, He will sharpen his sword; He has bent and strung His bow.

13 He has also prepared for himself the instruments of death. He makes ready his flaming arrows.

14 Behold, he who travails with iniquity. Yes, he has conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.

15 He has dug a hole, and has fallen into the pit which he made.

16 The trouble he causes shall return to his own head. His violence shall come down on the crown of his own head.

17 I will give thanks to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) according to His righteousness, and will sing praise to the Name OF 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) Most High.

CHAPTER 8

1 For the Chief Musician, on Ha’Gath’yath. A Psalm for Dau’yad: O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) Our Sovereign, how excellent is Your Name in all the earth, who has placed Your esteem above the shama’ym!

2 From the mouths of babes and infants You have established strength, because of Your adversaries, that You might silence the enemy and the avenger.

3 When I consider Your shama'ym, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, that You have ordained;

4 what is man, that You think of him? What is son of man, that You care for him?

5 For You have made him a little lower tha messengers, and crowned him with esteem and splendor.

6 You make him ruler over the works of Your hands. You have put all under his feet:

7 All sheep and cattle, and also the animals of the field,

8 The birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, and whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

9 O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) Our Sovereign, how excellent is Your Name in all the earth!

CHAPTER 9

1 For the Chief Musician, to "The Death of the Son." A Psalm for Dau’yad: I will praise 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) with my whole heart. I will tell of all Your marvelous works.

2 I will be glad and rejoice in You. I will sing praise to Your Name, O Most High.

3 When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish before You.

4 For You have maintained my just cause. You sit on the throne judging righteously.

5 You have rebuked the nations. You have destroyed the wicked. You have blotted out their name forever and ever.

6 The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin. The very memory of the cities which You have overthrown has perished.

7 But 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) reigns forever. He has prepared His throne for judgment.

8 And He judges the world in righteousness. He administers judgment to the peoples in uprightness.

9 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) will also be a high tower for the oppressed; a high tower in times of trouble.

10 Those who know Your Name will put their trust in You, for You, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), have not forsaken those who seek You.

11 Sing praises to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), who Abides in Tsa'yun, and declare among the people what He has done!

12 For He who avenges blood remembers them. He does not forget the cry of the afflicted.

13 Have compassion on me, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH). See my affliction by those who hate me, and lift me up from the gates of death;

14 that I may show forth all Your praise. In the gates of the daughter of Tsa'yun, I will rejoice in Your saving.

15 The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.

16 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) has made Himself known. He has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands. Meditation. Salah.

17 The wicked shall be turned back to Sha'ul, even all the nations that forget ALUAH.

18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten, nor the expectancy of the poor perish forever.

19 Arise, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH)! Let not man prevail. Let the nations be judged in Your sight.

20 Put them in fear, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH). Let the nations know that they are but men. Salah.

CHAPTER 10

1 Why do You stand afar, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH)? Why do You hide Yourself in times of trouble?

2 In arrogance, the wicked hunt down the weak. They are caught in the schemes that they devise.

3 For the wicked boasts of his heart's cravings. He Barak the greedy, and condemns 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH).

4 The wicked, in the pride of his face, has no room in his thoughts for ALUAH.

5 His ways are prosperous at all times, yet Your judgments are far from his sight. As for all His adversaries, he sneers at them.

6 He says in his heart, "I shall not be shaken. For generations I shall have no trouble."

7 His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and oppression. Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.

8 He lies in wait near the villages. From ambushes, he murders the innocent. His eyes are secretly placed against the helpless.

9 He lurks in secret as a lion in his ambush. He lies in wait to catch the helpless. He catches the helpless, when he draws him in his net.

10 The helpless are crushed. They collapse. They fall under his strength.

11 He says in his heart, "AL has forgotten. He hides His face. He will never see."

12 Arise, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH)! O AL, lift up Your hand! Do not forget the helpless.

13 Why does the wicked person condemn ALUAH, and say in his heart, "ALUAH won't call me into account?"

14 But You do see trouble and grief. You consider it to take it into your hand. You help the poor and the fatherless.

15 Break the arm of the wicked. As for the evil man, seek out his wickedness until You find none.

16 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) IS Sovereign forever and ever! The nations will perish from His land.

17 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), You have heard the desire of the humble. You will prepare their heart. You will incline Your ear to hear.

18 To defend the fatherless and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may oppress no more.

CHAPTER 11

1  For the Chief Musician, A Psalm for Dau’yad: In 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), I take refuge. How can you say to my being, "Flee as a bird to your mountain!"

2 For, behold, the wicked bend their bows. They place their arrows on the strings, that they shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.

3 If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?

4 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) is in His Made Apart Hayakal. 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) is on his throne in shama’ym. His eyes observe. His eyes examine the children of men.

5 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) examines the righteous, but the wicked and one who loves violence His being hates.

6 On the wicked He will rain blazing coals; fire, brimstone, and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.

7 For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) is righteous. He loves righteousness. The upright shall see His Face.

CHAPTER 12

1 For the Chief Musician; upon an eight-stringed lyre. A Psalm for Dau’yad: Save, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH); for the kind one is no more! For the trustworthy have from among the sons of men.

2 Everyone lies to his neighbor. They speak with flattering lips, and with a double heart.

3 May 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that boasts,

4 who have said, "With our tongue we will prevail. Our lips are our own. Who is sovereign over us?"

5 "Because of the oppression of the weak and because of the groaning of the needy, I will now arise," says 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH); "I will place him in safety for that he longs for.”

6 The words of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) are clean words, as silver refined in a clay furnace, refined seven times.

7 You will keep them, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH). You will preserve them from this generation forever.

8 The wicked walk on every side, when worthlessness is exalted among the sons of men.

CHAPTER 13

1 For the Chief Musician, a Psalm for Dau’yad: How long, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), will You forget me? Forever? How long will You hide Your face from me?

2 How long shall I take counsel in my being, having sorrow in my heart every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me?

3 Behold, and answer me, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), my ALUAH. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;

4 Lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed against him;" Lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall.

5 But I trust in Your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in Your Saving.

6 I will sing to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), because He has been good to me.

CHAPTER 14

1 For the Chief Musician, for Dau’yad: The fool has said in his heart, "There is no ALUAH." They are corrupt. They have done abominable works. There is none who does good.

2 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) looked down from shama'ym on the children of men, to see if there were any who did understand, who sought after ALUAH.

3 They have all gone aside. They have together become corrupt. There is none who does good, no, not one.

4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and don't call on 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH)?

5 There they were in great fear, for ALUAH is in the generation of the righteous.

6 You put to shame the counsel of the poor, but 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) is his refuge.

7 Oh that the saving of Yashar'AL would come out of Tsa'yun! When 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) restores the wealth of His people, then Ya'aqab shall rejoice, and Yashar'AL shall be glad.

CHAPTER 15

1 A Psalm for Dau’yad: 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), who shall dwell in Your Made Apart Place? Who shall abide on Your Made Apart Mountain?

2 He who walks blamelessly does what is right, and speaks truth in his heart;

3 He who does not slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor casts reproach against his friend;

4 In whose eyes a reprobate is despised, but who esteems those who fear 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH); he who swears an oath even when it hurts, and does not change;

5 He who does not lend out his silver for interest, nor take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these shall never be shaken.

CHAPTER 16

1 A Poem for Dau’yad: Preserve me, O AL, for in You do I take refuge.

2 I have said to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), "You are my Sovereign. Apart from You I have no good thing."

3 As for the made apart ones who are in the earth, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.

4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied who run after another. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names on my lips.

5  𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) assigns my inheritance and my cup. You uphold my lot.

6 Boundary lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, I have a good inheritance.

7 I will Barak 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), who has given me counsel. Yes, my kidneys instruct me in the nights.

8 I have made 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.

10 For You will not leave my being in Sha'ul, neither will You allow Your kind one see corruption.

11 You will show me the path of khaYah (life). Your Face is fullness of joy. In Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.

CHAPTER 17

1 A Prayer for Dau’yad: Hear, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), my righteous plea; Give ear to my prayer, that does not go out of deceitful lips.

2 Let my right ruling come forth from Your dwelling. Let Your eyes look on uprightness.

3 You have proved my heart. You have visited me in the night. You have tried me, and found nothing. I have resolved that my mouth shall not transgress.

4 As for the works of men, by the word of Your lips, I have kept myself from the ways of the violent.

5 My steps have held fast to Your paths. My feet have not slipped.

6 I have called on You, for You will answer me, O AL. Turn Your ear to me. Hear my speech.

7 Distinguish Your loving kindness, You who save those who take refuge by Your right hand from their enemies.

8 Keep me as the apple of Your eye. Hide me under the shadow of Your wings,

9 from the wicked who oppress me, my deadly enemies, who surround me.

10 They close up their callous hearts. With their mouth they speak proudly.

11 They have now surrounded us in our steps. They place their eyes to cast us down to the earth.

12 He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey, as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.

13 Arise, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), confront him. Cast him down. save my being from the wicked by your sword;

14 from men by your hand, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), from men of the world, whose portion is in this being. You fill the belly of your cherished ones. Your sons have plenty, and they store up wealth for their children.

15 As for me, I shall see your face in righteousness. I shall be content when I awake, to see Your form.

CHAPTER 18

1 For the Chief Musician. For Dau’yad, for servant of  𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), who spoke to  𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) the words of this song in the day 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) rescued him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Sha’ul: I love You, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), my strength.

2 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) is my Rock, my fortress, and my Savior; MY AL, my Rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my rescue, my high tower.

3 I call on 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), who is worthy to be praised; and I am saved from my enemies.

4 The cords of death surrounded me. The floods of wickedness made me afraid.

5 The cords of Sha'ul were around me. The snares of death came on me.

6 In my distress I called on 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), and cried to my ALUAH. He heard my voice out of His Hayakal. My cry before Him came into His ears.

7 Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations also of the mountains quaked and were shaken, because He was angry.

8 Smoke went out of His nostrils. Consuming fire came out of His mouth. Coals were kindled by it.

9 He bowed the shama'ym also, and came down. Thick darkness was under His feet.

10 He rode on a karub, and flew, and He soared on the wings of the wind.

11 He made darkness His hiding place, His booth around Him, darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.

12 At the brightness before Him, His thick clouds passed, hailstones and coals of fire.

13 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) also thundered in the sky. The Most High uttered His voice: hailstones and coals of fire.

14 He sent out His arrows, and scattered them; and great lightning bolts, and routed them.

15 Then the channels of waters appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare at Your rebuke, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), at the blast of the breath of Your nostrils.

16 He sent from on high. He took me. He drew me out of many waters.

17 He rescued me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me; for they were too mighty for me.

18 They came on me in the day of my calamity, but 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) was my support.

19 He brought me forth also into a large place. He rescued me, because He delighted in me.

20 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) has rewarded me according to my righteousness. According to the cleanness of my hands has He recompensed me.

21 For I have kept the ways of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), and have not wickedly departed from MY ALUAH.

22 For all His ordinances were before me. I didn't put away His statutes from me.

23 I was also blameless with Him. I kept myself from my iniquity.

24 Therefore 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in His eyesight.

25 With the kind You will show Yourself kind. With the complete man, You will show Yourself complete.

26 With the pure, You will show Yourself pure. With the crooked You will show Yourself shrewd.

27 For You will save the afflicted people, but the haughty eyes You will bring down.

28 For You will light my lamp, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH). My ALUAH will light up my darkness.

29 For by You, I advance against a band. By my ALUAH, I leap over a wall.

30 As for AL, His way is complete. The word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) is tried. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in Him.

31 For who is ALUAH, except 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH)? Who is a rock, besides our ALUAH,

32 It Is AL who arms me with strength, and makes my way complete?

33 He makes my feet like deer's feet, and places me on my high places.

34 He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.

35 You have also given me the shield of Your saving, and Your right hand sustains me, and Your meekness has made me great.

36 You have enlarged my steps under me, and my feet will not slip.

37 I will pursue my enemies and overtake them. Neither will I turn again until they are consumed.

38 I will crush them, so that they will not be able to rise. They shall fall under my feet.

39 For You have armed me with strength for battle. You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.

40 You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.

41 They cried, but there was none to save; even to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), but He didn't answer them.

42 Then I beat them as the dust before the wind. I cast them out as the dirt of the streets.

43 You have rescued me from the strivings of the people. You have made me the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known serve me.

44 As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me. The foreigners submit themselves to me.

45 The foreigners fade away and come trembling out of their strongholds.

46 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) Abides; and Baruk be my rock. Exalted be the ALUAH of my rescue,

47 Even The AL who executes vengeance for me, and He subdues peoples under me.

48 He rescues me from my enemies. You lift me up above those who rise up against me. You save me from the violent man.

49 Therefore I give thanks to You, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), among the nations, and sing praises to Your Name.

50 He gives great rescuing to His sovereign and shows loving kindness to His anointed, to Dau'yad and to his seed, forever.

CHAPTER 19

1 For the Chief Musician, A Psalm for Dau’yad: The shama'ym declare the esteem of AL, and the expanse declares the work of His Hand.

2 Day after day pour forth speech, and night after night reveals knowledge.

3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.

4 Their voice has gone out through all the earth, their words to the end of the world. In them He placed a tent for the sun,

5 which is as a bridegroom coming out of his room, like a strong man rejoicing to run his course.

6 His going forth is from the end of the shama'ym, his circuit to its ends; There is nothing hidden from its heat.

7 The Thurah of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) is complete, turning back the being. The witness of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) is sure, making discerned the simple.

8 The precepts of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) are right, rejoicing the heart. The commandment of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) is pure, enlightening the eyes.

9 The fear of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) is clean, enduring forever. The ordinances of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) are true, righteous altogether.

10 More to be desired than gold, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

11 Moreover by them is your servant warned. In keeping them there is great reward.

12 Who can understand errors? Cleanse me from secrets.

13 Keep back your servant also from proud ones. Let them not have rule over me. Then I will be upright. I will be blameless and innocent of great transgression.

14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your Sight, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), My Rock, and My Redeemer.

CHAPTER 20

1 For the Chief Musician, A Psalm for Dau’yad: 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) answers you in the day of trouble. The Name of the ALUAH of Ya'aqab places you up on high,

2 Sends you help from the Made Apart Place, upholds you from Tsa'yun,

3 Remembers all your offerings, and accepts your burnt offerings. Salah.

4 He gives you according to your heart, and fulfills all your purposes.

5 We rejoice in Your saving. In The Name of Our ALUAH, we place up our banners. Let 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) grant all your requests.

6 Now I know that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) saves His anointed. He will answer him from His Made Apart shama'ym, with the saving strength of His right hand.

7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust The Name OF 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) OUR ALUAH.

8 They are bowed down and fallen, but we rise up, and stand upright.

9 Save, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH)! Let the Sovereign answer us when we call!

CHAPTER 21

1 For the Chief Musician, A Psalm for Dau’yad: The sovereign rejoices in Your strength, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH)! How greatly he rejoices in Your saving!

2 You have given him his heart's desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. Salah.

3 For You meet him with the Barak’uth (Barak’ooth) of goodness. You place a crown of fine gold on his head.

4 He asked khaYah (life) of You, You gave it to him, even length of days forever and ever.

5 His esteem is great in your rescue. You lay esteem and excellence on him.

6 For You make him most Barak’uth forever. You make him glad with joy in Your face.

7 For the sovereign trusts in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH). Through the loving kindness of the Most High, he shall not be moved.

8 Your hand will find out all of Your enemies. Your right hand will find out those who hate You.

9 You will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of Your anger. 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) will swallow them up in His wrath, and the fire shall devour them.

10 You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their offspring from among the sons of men.

11 For they intended evil against You. They plotted evil against You which cannot succeed.

12 For You will make them turn their back, when You aim drawn bows toward their faces.

13 Be Exalted, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), in Your strength, so we will sing and praise Your might.

CHAPTER 22

1 For the Chief Musician, to "The Doe of the Dawn.” A Psalm for Dau’yad: MY AL, MY AL, why have You forsaken me? Why are You so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning?

2 My ALUAH, I cry in the daytime, but You do not answer; in the night, and am not rested.

3 But You Are Made Apart, You who inhabit the praises of Yashar'AL.

4 Our fathers trusted in You. They trusted, and You rescued them.

5 They cried to You, and were rescued. They trusted in You, and were not ashamed.

6 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised by the people.

7 All those who see me mock me. They insult me with their lips. They shake their heads, saying,

8 "He trusts in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH); let Him save him. Let Him rescue him, since he delights in Him."

9 But You brought me out of the womb. You made me trust while on my mother's breasts.

10 I was cast upon You from my mother's womb. You Are MY AL since my mother bore me.

11 Do not be far from me, for trouble is near. For there is none to help.

12 Many bulls have surrounded me. Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me.

13 They open their mouths wide against me, lions raging and roaring.

14 I am poured out like water. All my bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax; it is melted within me.

15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You have brought me into the dust of death.

16 For dogs have surrounded me. A company of evildoers have enclosed me, piercing my hands and feet.

17 I can count all of my bones. They look, they stare at me.

18 They divide my garments among them, and they cast lots for my clothing.

19 But don't be far off, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH). You are my Strength: Hasten to help me!

20 save my being from the sword, my only being from the power of the dog.

21 Save me from the lion's mouth! Yes, from the horns of the rhinoceros* You have answered me.

*See Note On Ayub 39:9-10

22 I will declare Your name to my brothers. In the midst of the assembly, I will praise You.

23 You who fear 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), Praise Him! All you descendants of Ya'aqab, esteem Him! Stand in awe of Him, all you descendants of Yashar'AL!

24 For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, Neither has He hidden His face from him; but when he cried to him, He heard.

25 Of You comes my praise in the great assembly. I will pay my vows before those who fear Him.

26 The humble shall eat and be satisfied. They shall praise 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) who seek after Him. Let your hearts dwell forever.

27 All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH). All the clans of the nations shall worship before You.

28 For the reign belongs to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), and He rules over the nations.

29 All the rich ones of the earth shall eat and bow themselves. All those who go down to the dust shall bow before Him, even he who cannot keep his own being.

30 An offspring shall serve Him. Future generations shall be told about The Sovereign.

31 They shall come and shall declare His righteousness to a people yet to be born, for He will do it.

CHAPTER 23

1 A Psalm for Dau’yad: 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) is my shepherd: I shall not lack.

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.

3 He restores my being. He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His Name's Sake.

4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me. Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me in the face of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup runs over.

6 Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my khaYah (life), and I will dwell in the House OF 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) forever.

CHAPTER 24

1 For Dau’yad: The earth belongs to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), and its fullness; the world, and those who dwell therein.

2 For He has founded it on the seas, and established it on the floods.

3 Who will ascend to the mountain of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH)? Who will stand in His Made Apart Place?

4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his being to falsehood, and has not sworn deceitfully.

5 He shall receive a Barakah from 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), righteousness from the ALUAH of his saving.

6 This is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek Your face—even Ya'aqab. Salah.

7 Lift up your heads, you gates! Be lifted up, you everlasting doors, and the Sovereign of esteem will come in.

8 Who is the Sovereign of esteem? 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) strong and mighty, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) mighty in battle.

9 Lift up your heads, you gates; even lift them up, you everlasting doors, and the Sovereign of esteem will come in.

10 Who is this Sovereign of esteem? 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) of hosts, He is the Sovereign of esteem! Salah.

CHAPTER 25

𐤀

1 For Dau’yad: To You, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), do I lift up my being.

𐤁

2 My ALUAH, I have trusted in You. Don't let me be shamed. Don't let my enemies triumph over me.

𐤂

3 Indeed, let no one who waits for You be ashamed. They shall be ashamed who deal treacherously without cause.

𐤃

4 Show me Your Ways, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH). Teach me Your Paths.

𐤄𐤅

5 Guide me in Your truth, and teach me, For You are the ALUAH of my saving, I wait for You all the day.

𐤆

6 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), remember Your compassion and Your loving kindness, for they are from everlasting.

𐤇

7 Do not remember the iniquities of my youth, nor my transgressions. Remember me according to Your loving kindness, for Your goodness' sake, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH).

𐤈

8 Good and upright is 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), therefore He will instruct transgressors in the way.

𐤉

9 He will guide the meek ones in right ruling. He will teach the meek His Way.

𐤊

10 All the paths of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) are loving kindness and truth to such as guard His Bar’yath (covenant) and His witnesses.

𐤋

11 For Your Name's Sake, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), pardon my iniquity, for it is great.

𐤌

12 What man is he who fears 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH)? He shall instruct him in the way that he shall choose.

𐤍

13 His being shall dwell at ease. His seed shall inherit the land.

𐤎

14 The secret of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) is with those who fear him. He will show them His Bar’yath (covenant).

𐤏

15 My eyes are ever on 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), for He will pluck my feet out of the net.

𐤐

16 Turn to me, and have compassion on me, for I am desolate and afflicted.

𐤑*

17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged. Oh bring me out of my distresses!

*This acrostic omits the qoo 𐤒 letter.

𐤓

18 Consider my affliction and my travail. Forgive all my transgressions.

19 Consider my enemies, for they are many. They hate me with cruel hatred.

𐤔

20 Oh keep my being, and save me! Let me not be ashamed, for I take refuge in You.

𐤕

21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for You.

22 Redeem Yashar'AL, ALUAH, from all of his troubles.

CHAPTER 26

1 For Dau’yad: Govern me, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) without wavering.

2 Examine me, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), and prove me. Try my kidneys and my heart.

3 For Your loving kindness is before my eyes. I have walked in Your truth.

4 I have not sat with deceitful men, neither will I go in with hypocrites.

5 I hate the assembly of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked.

6 I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will go about Your altar, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH);

7 that I make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and declare all Your wonders.

8 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), I love the habitation of Your house, the place where Your esteem Abides.

9 Don't gather my being with transgressors, nor my being with bloodthirsty men;

10 in whose hands is wickedness, their right hand is full of bribes.

11 But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me, and show favor to me.

12 My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will Barak 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH).

CHAPTER 27

1 For Dau’yad: 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) is my light and my rescue. Whom shall I fear? 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) is the strength of my khaYah (life). Of whom shall I be afraid?

2 When evildoers came at me to eat up my flesh, even my adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.

3 Though an army should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear. Though war should rise against me, even then I will be confident.

4 One thing I have asked of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), that I will seek after, that I dwell in the House OF 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) all the days of my khaYah (life), to see the beauty of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), and to inquire in His Hayakal.

5 For in the day of trouble He will hide me secretly in His pavilion. In the covert of His tabernacle He will hide me. He will lift me up on a rock.

6 Now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me, and I will offer offerings of joy in His tent. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH).

7 Hear, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), when I cry with my voice! Have favor also on me, and answer me!

8 When You said, "Seek My face," my heart said to You, "I will seek Your Face, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH)."

9 Do not hide Your face from me. Do not put Your servant away in anger. You have been my help. Do not abandon me, neither forsake me, O ALUAH of my rescue.

10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) will take me up.

11 Teach me your way, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH). Lead me in a straight path, because of my enemies.

12 Do not bring me over to the desire of my adversaries, for false witnesses have risen up against me, and who breathe out cruelty.

13 I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) in the land of the living.

14 Wait for 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH). Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Wait, I say, for 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH).

CHAPTER 28

1 For Dau’yad: To You, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), I call*. My Rock, do not be deaf to me; lest, if You are silent to me, I would become like those who go down into the pit.

*Some translations also use cry.

2 Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry to You, when I lift up my hands toward Your Most Made Apart Place.

3 Do not draw me away with the wicked, with the workers of iniquity who speak shalum (peace) with their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.

4 Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings. Give them according to the operation of their hands. Bring back to them what they deserve.

5 Because they do not respect the works of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), nor the operation of His hands. He will break them down and not build them up.

6 Baruk be 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), because He heard the voice of my petitions.

7 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in Him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank Him.

8 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) is their strength, and He is a stronghold of saving to His anointed.

9 Save Your people, and Barak your inheritance. Be their shepherd also, and bear them up forever.

CHAPTER 29

1 A Psalm for Dau’yad: Ascribe to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), you sons of the mighty, ascribe to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) esteem and strength.

2 Ascribe to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) the esteem due to His Name. Bow before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) in the splendor of Made Apartness.

3 The Voice OF 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) is on the waters. The AL of esteem thunders, even 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) is over many waters.

4 The Voice OF 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) is powerful. The Voice OF 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) is full of greatness.

5 The Voice OF 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) breaks the cedars. Yes, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) breaks in pieces the cedars of Laba'nun (Laba’noon).

6 He makes them also to skip like a calf; Laba'nun and Shara’yan like a young rhinoceros*.

*See Also Ayub 39:9-10

7 The Voice OF 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) strikes with flashes of lightning.

8 The Voice OF 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) shakes the wilderness. 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) shakes the wilderness of Qadash.

9 The Voice OF 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) makes the deer calve, and strips the forests bare. In His Hayakal everyone says, "esteem!"

10 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) sat enthroned at the Flood, and 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) sits as Sovereign forever.

11 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) will give strength to His people. 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) will Barak His people with shalum (peace).

CHAPTER 30

1 A Psalm. A Song for the Dedication of The House, for Dau’yad: I will extol You, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), for You have raised me up, and have not made my enemies rejoice over me.

2 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) MY ALUAH, I cried to You, and You have healed me.

3 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), You brought up my being from Sha'ul. You kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

4 Sing praise to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), You kind ones of His. Give thanks to His Made Apart Name.

5 For His anger is but for a moment. His delight is for a kha’yah’ym (lifetime). Weeping might lodge for the night, but joy comes in the rising.

6 As for me, I said in my tranquility, "I shall never be moved."

7 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), in Your delight, You made my mountain stand strong; but when You hid Your face, I was troubled.

8 I cried to You, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), and to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) I made supplication:

9 "What gain is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise You? Shall it declare Your truth?

10 Hear, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), and show favor on me. 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), be my helper!”

11 You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness,

12 So that esteem might praise You and not be silenced. O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) My ALUAH, I will give thanks to You forever!

CHAPTER 31

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm for Dau’yad: In You, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), I take refuge. Let me never be disappointed, save me in Your righteousness.

2 Bow down Your ear to me, save me speedily. Be to me a strong rock, a house of defense to save me.

3 For You are my rock and my fortress, therefore for Your Name's Sake lead me and guide me.

4 Pluck me out of the net that they have laid secretly for me, for You are my stronghold.

5 Into Your hand I commend my rukh. You redeem me, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), O AL of truth.

6 I hate those who regard lying vanities, but I trust in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH).

7 I will be glad and rejoice in Your loving kindness, for You have seen my affliction. You have known my being in adversities.

8 You have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy. You have placed my feet in a large place.

9 Have compassion on me, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), for I am in distress. My eye, my being, and my body waste away with grief.

10 For my khaYah (life) is spent with sorrow, my years with sighing. My strength fails because of my iniquity. My bones are wasted away.

11 Because of all my adversaries I have become utterly contemptible to my neighbors, A fear to my acquaintances. Those who saw me on the street fled from me.

12 I am forgotten from their hearts like a dead man. I am like broken pottery.

13 For I have heard the slander of many, terror on every side, while they conspire together against me, they plot to take away my being.

14 But I trust in You, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH). I said, "You Are My ALUAH."

15 My times are in Your hand, save me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me.

16 Make Your Face to shine on Your servant. Save me in Your loving kindness.

17 Let me not be ashamed, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), for I have called on You. Let the wicked be ashamed. Let them be silent in Sha'ul.

18 Let the lying lips be mute, which speak against the righteous insolently, with pride and contempt.

19 Oh how great is Your goodness, which You have laid up for those who fear You, which You have worked for those who take refuge in You, before the sons of men!

20 In the shelter of Your dwelling You will hide them from the plotting of man. You will keep them secretly in a dwelling away from the strife of tongues.

21 Praise be to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), for He has shown me his marvelous loving kindness in a strong city.

22 As for me, I said in my haste, "I am cut off from before Your eyes." Nevertheless You heard the voice of my petitions when I cried out to You.

23 Love 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), all you his kind ones! 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) guards the trustworthy, and fully recompenses him who behaves arrogantly.

24 Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who expect in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH).

CHAPTER 32

1 For Dau’yad, A Contemplative Psalm: Joyful is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose iniquity is covered.

2 Joyful is the man to whom 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) does not impute iniquity, in whose rukh there is no deceit.

3 When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.

4 For day and night your hand was heavy on me. My strength was sapped in the heat of summer. Salah.

5 I acknowledged my transgression to you. I hid not my iniquity. I said, I will confess my transgressions to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), and You forgave the iniquity of my transgression. Salah.

6 For this, let all who is kind pray to You for a time when You are found. Surely when the great waters overflow, they shall not reach to him.

7 You are my hiding place. You will preserve me from distress. You will surround me with songs of rescuing. Salah.

8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with My eye on you.

9 Don't be like the horse, or like the mule, which have no understanding, who are controlled by bit and bridle, or else they will not come near to you.

10 Many sorrows come to the wicked, but loving kindness shall surround him who trusts in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH).

11 Be glad in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), and rejoice, you righteous! Shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart!

CHAPTER 33

1 Rejoice in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), you righteous! Praise is fitting for the upright.

2 Give thanks to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) with the lyre. Sing praises to Him with the instrument of ten strings.

3 Sing to Him a new song. Play skillfully with a shout of joy!

4 For the Word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) is straight, and all His work is done in truth.

5 He loves righteousness and right ruling. The earth is full of the loving kindness of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH).

6 By The Word OF 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), the shama'ym were made; all their army by the breath of His mouth.

7 He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap. He lays up the depths in storehouses.

8 Let all the earth fear 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH). Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.

9 For He spoke, and it was done. He commanded, and it stood firm.

10 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.

11 The counsel of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) stands fast forever, the plans of His heart to all generations.

12 Joyful is the nation whose ALUAH is 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), the people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance.

13 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) looks from shama'ym. He sees all the sons of men.

14 From His Dwelling Place He looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth,

15 He who fashions all of their hearts; and He considers all of their works.

16 There is no sovereign saved by the multitude of an army. A mighty man is not rescued by great strength.

17 A horse is a vain thing for safety, neither does he save any by his great power.

18 Behold, The Eye OF 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 is on those who fear Him, on those who wait for His loving kindness;

19 to save their being from death, to keep them living during famine.

20 Our being has waited for 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH). He is our help and our shield.

21 For our heart rejoices in Him, because we have trusted in His Made Apart Name.

22 Let Your loving kindness be on us, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), since we have waited for You.

CHAPTER 34

𐤀

1 For Dau’yad, when he pretended insanity before Ab’ya’malak, who drove him away and he departed:

I will Barak 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) at all times. His praise will always be in my mouth.

𐤁

2 My being shall boast in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH). The humble shall hear of it, and be glad.

𐤂

3 Oh exalt 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) with me. Let us exalt His Name together.

𐤃

4 I sought 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), and He answered me, and rescued me from all my fears.

𐤄

5 They looked to him, and were radiant.

𐤅

Their faces shall never be covered with shame.

𐤆

6 This poor man cried, and 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

𐤇

7 The messenger of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) encamps around those who fear him, and rescues them.

𐤈

8 Oh, taste and see that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) is good! Joyful is the man who takes refuge in Him.

𐤉

9 Oh fear 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), you His Made Apart ones, for there is no lack with those who fear Him.

𐤊

10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger, but those who seek 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) shall not lack any good thing.

𐤋

11 Come, you children, listen to me. I will teach you the fear of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH).

𐤌

12 Who is someone who desires khaYah (life), and loves many days to  see good?

𐤍

13 Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking lies.

𐤎

14 Depart from evil, and do good. Seek shalum (peace) and pursue it.

𐤏

15 The Eyes OF 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) are toward the righteous. His ears listen to their cry.

𐤐

16 The Face OF 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) is against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth.

𐤑

17 The righteous cry, and 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) hears, and saves them out of all their distresses.

𐤒

18 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed rukh.

𐤓

19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) saves him out of them all.

𐤔

20 He protects all of his bones. Not one of them is broken.

𐤕

21 Evil shall slay the wicked. Those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.

22 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) redeems the being of His servants. None of those who take refuge in Him shall be condemned.

CHAPTER 35

1 For Dau’yad: O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), strive with those who strive with me. Fight against those who fight against me.

2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and rise for my help.

3 Draw out the spear and stop those who pursue me. Tell my being, "I Am Your Rescue.”

4 Let those blush and be ashamed who seek after my being . Let those who plot my ruin be turned back and confounded.

5 Let them be as chaff before the wind, the messenger of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH)driving them on.

6 Let their way be dark and slippery, the messenger of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) pursuing them.

7 For without cause they have hidden their net in a pit for me. Without cause they have dug a pit for my being.

8 Let destruction come on him unawares, and let his net that he has hidden catch himself. Let him fall into that destruction.

9 My being shall exalt in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH). It shall rejoice in His saving.

10 All my bones shall say, "𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), who is like You, who saves the poor from him who is too strong for him; yes, the poor and the needy from him who robs him?"

11 Violent witnesses rise up. They ask me about that which I do not know.

12 They reward me evil for good, to the bereaving of my being.

13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth. I afflicted my being with fasting, and my prayer returned into my own bosom.

14 I behaved myself as though it had been my friend or my brother. I bowed down mourning, as one who mourns his mother.

15 But in my adversity, they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together. The attackers gathered themselves together against me, and I didn't know it. They tore at me, and didn't cease.

16 Like the profane mockers in feasts, they gnashed their teeth at me.

17 O Sovereign, how long will You look on? Rescue my being from their destruction, my precious being from the lions.

18 I will give You thanks in the great assembly. I will praise You among many* people.

*This can also mean mighty.

19 Don't let those who are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me; neither let those who hate me without a cause wink their eyes.

20 For they don't speak shalum (peace), but they devise deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land.

21 Yes, they opened their mouth wide against me. They said, "Aha! Aha! Our eyes have seen it!"

22 You have seen it, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH). Do not keep silent. O Sovereign, do not be far from me!

23 Awaken! And rise up to defend me, my ALUAH! And my Sovereign, contend for me!

24 Govern me, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) my ALUAH, according to your righteousness. Don't let them rejoice over me.

25 Don't let them say in their heart, "Aha! Our desire!” Don't let them say, "We have swallowed him up!"

26 Let them be disappointed and confounded together who rejoice at my calamity. Let them be clothed with shame and reproach who exalt themselves against me.

27 Let them shout for joy and be glad, who favor my righteous cause. Yes, let them say continually, "𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) be made great, who has pleasure in the shalum (peace)* of His servant!"

*Some translations read prosperity, but the Yahud’yath word used here is shalum to mean peace

28 My tongue shall talk about Your righteousness and about Your praise, all day long.

CHAPTER 36

1 For the Chief Musician. For servant of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), for Dau’yad: A declaration [within] my heart about the transgression of the wicked: "There is no fear of ALUAH before his eyes."

2 For he flatters himself in his own eyes, too much to detect and hate his iniquity.

3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit. He has ceased to be discerned, and to do good.

4 He plots iniquity on his bed. He places himself in a way that is not good. He doesn't abhor evil.

5 Your loving kindness, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), is in the shama'ym, and Your trustworthiness reaches to the skies.

6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of AL. Your judgments are like a great deep. O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), You save man and animal.

7 How precious is Your loving kindness, ALUAH! The children of men take refuge under the shadow of Your wings.

8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the abundance of Your House, and You will make them drink of the river of Your pleasures.

9 For with You is the fountain of khaYah (life). In Your light shall we see light.

10 Oh continue Your loving kindness to those who know You, Your righteousness to the upright in heart.

11 Do not let the foot of pride come against me. Do not let the hand of the wicked drive me away.

12 There the workers of iniquity are fallen. They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise.

CHAPTER 37

𐤀

1 For Dau’yad: Do not fret because of evildoers, neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness.

2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither like the green herb.

𐤁

3 Trust in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), and do good. Dwell in the land, and enjoy safe pasture.

4 Also delight yourself in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), and He will give you the desires of your heart.

𐤂

5 Commit your way to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH). Trust also in Him, and He brings it to pass:

6 He will make your righteousness go forth as the light, and your right ruling as the midday.

𐤃

7 Rest in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), and wait patiently for Him. Don't fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who makes wicked plots.

𐤄

8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath. Don't fret, also to do evil.

9 For evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) shall inherit the earth.

𐤅

10 For yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more. Yes, though you look for his place, he isn't there.

11 But the meek shall inherit the earth, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of shalum (peace).

𐤆

12 The wicked plots against the righteous, and gnashes at him with his teeth.

13 The Sovereign laughs at him, for He sees that His day is coming.

𐤇

14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, to slay those who are upright in the way.

15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart. Their bows shall be broken.

𐤈

16 Better is a little of the righteous, than the abundance of many wicked.

17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) upholds the righteous.

𐤉

18 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) knows the days of the complete. and their inheritance shall be forever.

19 They shall not be ashamed in the time of evil, and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

𐤊

20 But the wicked shall perish. The enemies of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) shall be like the beauty of the fields: They will vanish—vanish like smoke.

𐤋

21 The wicked borrow, and don't pay back, but the righteous give generously.

22 For such as are Barak by Him shall inherit the land. Those who are cursed by Him shall be cut off.

𐤌

23 A man's steps are established by 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), and he delights in His way.

24 Though he stumble, he shall not fall, for 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) holds him up with His hand.

𐤍

25 I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging for bread.

26 All day long he shows favor and lends. His seed is for a Barakah.

𐤎*

27 Depart from evil, and do good, and dwell forever.

28 For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) loves right ruling, and doesn't forsake his kind ones. They are guarded forever, but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

29 The righteous shall inherit the earth, and dwell in it forever.

*The letter ayan 𐤏 is missing from this acrostic

𐤐

30 The mouth of the righteous talks of discernment. His tongue speaks right ruling.

31 The Thur’ath of his ALUAH is in his heart. None of his steps shall slide.

𐤑

32 The wicked watches the righteous, and seeks to slay him.

33 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.

𐤒

34 Wait for 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), And Keep His Way, and He will exalt you to inherit the earth. When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.

𐤓

35 I have seen the wicked in great power, spreading himself like a native green tree.

36 But he passed away, and behold, he was not. Yes, I sought him, but he could not be found.

𐤔

37 Guard the complete, and see the upright, for there is a future for man is shalum (peace).

38 As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together. The future of the wicked shall be cut off.

𐤕

39 But the rescue of the righteous is from 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH). He is their stronghold in the time of distress.

40 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) helps them, and rescues them. He rescues them from the wicked, and saves them, Because they have taken refuge in him.

CHAPTER 38

1 A Psalm for Dau’yad: O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), do not rebuke me in Your wrath, neither chasten me in Your hot displeasure!

2 For Your arrows have pierced me, Your Hand presses hard on me.

3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of Your indignation, neither is there any shalum (peace) in my bones because of my transgression.

4 For my iniquities have gone over my head. As a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.

5 My wounds are loathsome and corrupt, because of my folly.

6 I am pained and bowed down greatly. I go mourning all day long.

7 For my loins are filled with burning, and there is no soundness in my flesh.

8 I am faint and severely bruised. I have groaned by reason of the anguish of my heart.

9 O Sovereign, all my desire is before You. My groaning is not hidden from You.

10 My heart throbs. My strength fails me. As for the light of my eyes, it has also left me.

11 My lovers and my friends stand back from my plague, and my kinsmen stand far away.

12 They also lay snares who seek after my being. Those who seek my hurt speak destruction, and utter deceits all day long.

13 But I, as a deaf man, do not hear. I am as a speechless [man] who does not open his mouth.

14 Yes, I am as a man who doesn't hear, in whose mouth are no reproofs.

15 For in You, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), do I wait. You will answer, My Sovereign, My ALUAH.

16 For I said, “Lest they rejoice over me, or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips."

17 For I am ready to fall, and my pain is continually before me.

18 For I will confess my iniquity. I will be sorry for my transgression.

19 But my enemies are vigorous and many. Those who hate me without reason are numerous.

20 They who also render evil for good are adversaries to me, because I follow what is good.

21 Do not forsake me, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH). O My ALUAH, do not be far from me!

22 Hasten to help me, O Sovereign, My Rescue!

CHAPTER 39

1 For the Chief Musician. For Yadu’thun (Ya’du’thoon). A Psalm for Dau’yad: I said, "I will watch my ways, so that I don't transgress with my tongue. I will keep my mouth with a bridle while the wicked is before me."

2 I was mute with silence. I kept still, even from good, and my pain was stirred.

3 My heart was hot within me. While I meditated, the fire burned: I spoke with my tongue:

4 "𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), show me my end, what is the measure of my days. Let me know how frail I am.

5 Behold, You have made my days handbreadths. and my world* is as nothing before you. Surely every man stands as a breath." Salah.

*The literal translation is world, but most translations today render the English words age or lifetime

6 "Surely every man walks like a shadow. Surely they busy themselves in vain. He heaps up, and doesn't know who shall gather.

7 And now, O Sovereign, what do I wait for? My expectation is in You.

8 Save me from all my transgressions. Do not make me the reproach of the foolish.

9 I was mute. I didn't open my mouth, because You did it.

10 Remove Your scourge away from me. I am overcome by the blow of Your hand.

11 When You rebuke and correct man for iniquity, You consume his desire like a moth. Surely every man is but a breath." Salah.

12 "Hear my prayer, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), and give ear to my cry. Do not be silent at my tears. For I am a stranger with You, a sojourner, as all my fathers were.

13 Oh spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go away, and exist no more."

CHAPTER 40

1 For the Chief Musician, A Psalm for Dau’yad: I waited patiently for 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH). and He inclined to me, and heard my cry.

2 He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and He placed my feet on a rock, and established my footsteps.

3 He has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our ALUAH. Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH).

4 Joyful is the man who makes 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) His trust, and does not turn to the proud, nor such as turn aside to falsehood.

5 Many, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), My ALUAH, are the wonderful works that You have done, and Your thoughts which are toward us. Nothing can be compared to You. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

6 Slaughtering and offering You did not desire. You have opened my ears. You have not asked for burnt offering and transgression offering.

7 Then I said, "Behold, I have come. It is written about me in the Book in the scroll.

8 I delight to do Your pleasure, O MY ALUAH. Yes, your Thur’ath is within my inward parts.”

9 I have proclaimed great news of righteousness in the great assembly. Behold, I will not seal my lips, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), You Know.

10 I have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart. I have declared Your trustworthiness and your saving. I have not concealed Your loving kindness and Your truth from the great assembly.

11 Do not withhold Your compassion from me, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH). Let Your loving kindness and Your truth continually preserve me.

12 For innumerable evils have surrounded me. My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to see. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart has failed me.

13 Be pleased, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), to save me. Hasten to help me, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH)!

14 Let them be ashamed and confounded together who seek after my being to destroy it. Let them who desiring my evil be turned backward and brought to shame.

15 Let them be desolate by reason of their shame that tell me, "Aha! Aha!"

16 Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You. Let such as love Your Rescue say continually, "Let 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) be exalted!"

17 But I am poor and needy. Let My Sovereign think upon me. You are my help and my Savior. Do not delay, O MY ALUAH!

CHAPTER 41

1 For the Chief Musician, A Psalm for Dau’yad: Joyful is he who considers the poor. 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) will save him in the day of evil.

2 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) will preserve him, and keep him living. He shall be glad on the earth, and he will not surrender him to the will of his enemies.

3 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) will sustain him on his sickbed, and restore him from his bed of illness.

4 I said, "𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), have compassion on me! Heal me, for I have transgressed against you."

5 My enemies speak evil against me: "When will he die, and his name perish?"

6 If he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood. His heart gathers iniquity to itself. When he goes abroad, he tells it.

7 All who hate me whisper together against me. They devise evil against me.

8 "An evil matter,” they say, "has afflicted him. Now that he lies he shall rise up no more."

9 Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate bread with me, has lifted up his heel against me.

10 But You, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), have compassion on me, and raise me up, that I may repay them.

11 By this I know that You delight in me, because my enemy doesn't triumph over me.

12 As for me, You uphold me in my integrity, and place me before Your Face forever.

13 Baruk be 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), the ALUAH of Yashar'AL, from everlasting and to everlasting! So be it and so be it.

CHAPTER 42

1 For the Chief Musician. A contemplation for the sons of Qarakh: As the deer pants for the water brooks, so my being pants after you, ALUAH.

2 My being thirsts for ALUAH, for the living AL. When shall I come and appear before ALUAH?

3 My tears have been my food day and night, while they continually ask me, "Where is your ALUAH?"

4 These I remember, and pour out my being within me, how I used to go with the crowd, and led them to the house of ALUAH, with the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping a Made Apart day.

5 Why are you in despair, my being? Why are you disturbed within me? Wait for ALUAH! For I shall still praise Him for the saving help of His Face!

6 My ALUAH, my being is in despair within me. Therefore I remember You from the land of the Yardan, the heights of Khar'mun'ym (Khar’moon’ym), from Mount Matsa’ar.

7 Deep calls to deep at the noise of Your waterfalls. All Your waves and Your billows have swept over me.

8 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) will command His loving kindness in the daytime. In the night His song shall be with me: a prayer to the AL of my khaYah (life).

9 I will say to AL, My Rock, "Why have You forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?"

10 As with a sword in my bones, my adversaries reproach me, while they continually ask me, "Where is Your ALUAH?"

11 Why are you in despair, my being? Why are you disturbed within me? Wait for ALUAH! For I shall still praise Him, the saving help of my countenance, and my ALUAH.

CHAPTER 43

1 Govern me, O ALUAH, and plead my cause against a nation without kindness. Oh, save me from deceitful and wicked men.

2 For You are the ALUAH of my strength. Why have You rejected me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

3 Oh, send out Your light and Your truth. Let them lead me. Let them bring me to Your Made Apart mountain, To Your dwelling places.

4 Then I will go to the altar of ALUAH, to AL, my exceeding joy. I will praise You on the harp, ALUAH, My ALUAH.

5 Why are you in despair, my being? Why are you disturbed within me? Wait for ALUAH! For I shall still praise Him: My Savior, My Helper, And My ALUAH!

CHAPTER 44

1 For the Chief Musician, for the sons of Qarakh. A contemplative Psalm: We have heard with our ears, O ALUAH; our fathers have told us, what work You did in their days, in the days of old.

2 You drove out the nations with Your hand, but You planted them. You afflicted the peoples, but You spread them abroad.

3 For they didn't get the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them; but Your right hand, and Your arm, and the light of Your face, because You were favorable to them.

4 You are my Sovereign, ALUAH. Command saving for Ya'aqab!

5 Through You, will we push down our adversaries. Through Your Name, will we tread them under who rise up against us.

6 For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.

7 But You have saved us from our adversaries, and have shamed those who hate us.

8 In ALUAH we have made our boast all day long, we will give thanks to Your Name forever. Salah.

9 But now You rejected us, and brought us to shame, and don't go out with our armies.

10 You make us turn back from the adversary. Those who hate us take spoil for themselves.

11 You have made us like sheep for food, and have scattered us among the nations.

12 You sell Your people for nothing, and have gained nothing from their sale.

13 You make us a reproach to our neighbors, a scoffing and a derision to those who are around us.

14 You make us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.

15 All day long my reproach is before me, and shame covers my face,

16 At the taunt of one who reproaches and slanders, because of the enemy and the avenger.

17 All this has come on us, yet have we not forgotten You, neither have we been false to Your Bar’yath (covenant).

18 Our heart has not turned back, neither have our steps strayed from Your Path,

19 Though You have crushed us in the haunt of jackals, and covered us with the shadow of death.

20 If we have forgotten The Name of our ALUAH, or spread forth our hands to a strange idol;

21 Won't ALUAH search this out? For He knows the secrets of the heart.

22 But for Your sake we are killed all day long. We are regarded as sheep for the slaughter.

23 Awake! Why do You sleep, O Sovereign? Arise! Do not reject us forever.

24 Why do You hide Your face, and forget our affliction and our oppression?

25 For our being is bowed down to the dust. Our body clings to the earth.

26 Rise up to help us! And redeem us for Your loving kindness' sake!

CHAPTER 45

1 For the Chief Musician, to "The Lilies." A contemplation for the sons of Qarakh, a love song: My heart overflows with a hearty word. I recite my verses for the Sovereign. My tongue is like the pen of a skillful writer.

2 You are the most excellent of the sons of men. Favor has anointed your lips, therefore ALUAH has Barak you forever.

3 Gird Your sword on Your thigh, O Mighty One: Your splendor and Your excellence!

4 In Your excellence ride on prosperously on behalf of truth, humility, and righteousness. Let Your right hand display awesome deeds.

5 Your arrows are sharp. The nations fall under You, with arrows in the heart of The Sovereign’s enemies.

6 Your throne, O ALUAH, is forever and ever. A sceptre of equity is the sceptre of Your Reign.

7 You have loved righteousness, and hated wickedness. Therefore ALUAH, Your ALUAH, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.

8 All your garments are myrrh, aloes, and cassia. Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made You glad.

9 Sovereigns’ daughters are among Your esteemed women. At Your right hand the sovereigness stands in gold of A’upar.

10 Listen, daughter, consider, and turn your ear. Forget your own people, and also your father's house.

11 So the Sovereign will desire your beauty, bow down to Him, for He is Your Sovereign.

12 The daughter of Tsar comes with a gift. The rich among the people entreat your favor.

13 The daughter of the Sovereign inside is all esteemed. Her clothing is interwoven with gold.

14 She shall be led to the Sovereign in embroidered work. The virgins, her companions who follow her, shall be brought to You.

15 With gladness and rejoicing they shall be led. They shall enter into the Sovereign’s palace.

16 Your sons will take the place of your fathers. You shall make them princes in all the earth.

17 I will make Your Name to be remembered in all generations. Therefore the peoples shall give You thanks forever and ever.

CHAPTER 46

1 A Song for the chief musician, for the sons of Qurakh, concerning Al’muth (Uhl’mooth): ALUAH is our refuge and strength, a help in trouble, found exceedingly.

2 Therefore we won't be afraid, though the earth changes, though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas;

3 though its waters roar and are troubled, though the mountains tremble with their swelling. Salah.

4 There is a river, the streams of which make the city of ALUAH glad, the Made Apart dwelling place of The Most High.

5 ALUAH is in her midst. She shall not be moved. ALUAH will help her at dawn.

6 The nations raged. The kingdoms were moved. He lifted His voice, and the earth melted.

7 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) of hosts is with us. The ALUAH of Ya'aqab is our refuge. Salah.

8 Come, see 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH)'s works, what desolations He has made in the earth.

9 He makes wars cease to the end of the earth. He breaks the bow, and shatters the spear. He burns the chariots in the fire.

10 "Be still, and know that I Am ALUAH. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth."

11 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) of hosts is with us. The ALUAH of Ya'aqab is our refuge. Salah.

CHAPTER 47

1 A Psalm to the chief musician, for sons of Qarakh: A Psalm of Dau’yad. Oh clap your hands, all you nations! Shout to ALUAH with the voice of singing!

2 For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) Most High is awesome. He is a great Sovereign over all the earth.

3 He subdues nations under us, and peoples under our feet.

4 He chooses our inheritance for us, the esteem of Ya'aqab whom He loved. Salah.

5 ALUAH has gone up with a shout, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) with the sound of a ram’s horn.

6 Sing praise to ALUAH, sing praises. Sing praises to our Sovereign, sing praises!

7 For ALUAH is the Sovereign of all the earth. Sing praises with understanding.

8 ALUAH reigns over the nations. ALUAH sits on His Made Apart Throne.

9 The princes of the peoples are gathered together, the people of the ALUAH of Abara’ahm. For the shields of the earth belong to ALUAH. He is greatly exalted!

CHAPTER 48

1 A Song, Psalm: to the sons of Qarakh: Great is 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), and greatly to be praised, in the city of our ALUAH, His Made Apart mountain.

2 Beautiful on high, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Tsa'yun, on the north sides, the city of the great Sovereign.

3 ALUAH has shown Himself in her citadels as a Refuge.

4 For, behold, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together.

5 They saw it, then they were amazed. They were dismayed. They hurried away.

6 Trembling took hold of them there, pain, as of a woman in travail.

7 With the east wind, You break the ships of Tharash’yash.

8 As we have heard, so we have seen, in the city of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) of hosts, in the city of our ALUAH. ALUAH will establish it forever. Salah.

9 We have thought about Your loving kindness, ALUAH, in the midst of Your Hayakal.

10 As is Your Name, ALUAH, so is Your Praise to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is full of righteousness.

11 Let Mount Tsa'yun be glad! Let the daughters of Yahudah rejoice, Because of Your right rulings.

12 Walk about Tsa'yun, and go around her. Number her towers.

13 Place your heart upon her bulwarks. Consider her palaces, that you declare it to the next generation.

14 For this ALUAH is our ALUAH forever and ever. He will be our guide, even to death.

CHAPTER 49

1 A Psalm to the sons of Qarakh: Hear this, all you peoples. Listen, all you inhabitants of the world,

2 both low and high, rich and poor together.

3 My mouth will speak words of discernment. My heart shall utter understanding.

4 I will incline my ear to a proverb. I will open my riddle on the harp.

5 Why should I fear in the days of evil, when iniquity at my heels surrounds me?

6 Those who trust in their wealth, and boast in the multitude of their riches—

7 none of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give ALUAH a ransom for him.

8 For the redemption of their beings is costly, and it shall cease forever.

9 That he should dwell on forever, that he should not see the pit.

10 For he sees that discerned men die; also the fool and the ignorant perish, and leave their wealth to others.

11 Their inward thought is that their houses will endure forever, and their dwelling places to all generations. They name their lands after themselves.

12 But man, despite his riches, doesn't endure. He is like the animals that perish.

13 This is the way of those who are foolish, and of those who approve their sayings. Salah.

14 They are appointed as a flock for Sha'ul. Death shall be their shepherd. The upright shall have rule over them in the rising. Their beauty shall decay in Sha'ul, far from their dwelling.

15 But ALUAH will redeem my being from the power of Sha'ul, for He will receive me. Salah.

16 Do not be afraid when a man is made rich, when the esteem of his house is increased.

17 For when he dies he shall carry nothing away. His esteem shall not descend after him.

18 Though while he dwelled he Barak his being— and men praise you when you do well for yourself—

19 he shall go to the generation of his fathers. They shall never see the light.

20 A man who has riches without understanding, is like the animals that perish.

CHAPTER 50

1 A Psalm for Asap: The Mighty One, AL, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), speaks, and calls the earth from the rising of the sun to the going down.

2 Out of Tsa'yun, the completion of beauty, ALUAH shines forth.

3 Our ALUAH comes, and does not keep silent. A fire devours before Him, and it is very stormy around Him.

4 He calls to the shama'ym above, to the earth, that He rightly rules His people:

5 "Gather My kind ones together to Me, those who have made My Bar’yath (covenant) by slaughtering.”

6 The shama'ym shall declare His righteousness, for ALUAH Himself is Judge. Salah.

7 "Hear, My people, and I will speak; Yashar'AL, and I will witness against you. I Am ALUAH, Your ALUAH.

8 I do not reprove you for your slaughterings. Your burnt offerings are continually before me.

9 I have no need for a bull from your stall, nor male goats from your pens.

10 For every animal of the forest is Mine, and the livestock on a thousand hills.

11 I know all the birds of the mountains. and the wild animals of the field are Mine.

12 If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world is Mine, and all that is in it.

13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?

14 Offer to ALUAH the offering of thanksgiving. Pay your vows to The Most High.

15 Call on Me in the day of trouble. I will save You, and You will esteem Me."

16 But to the wicked, ALUAH says, "What right do You have to declare My statutes, that You have taken My Bar’yath (covenant) on your lips,

17 since you hate instruction, and throw My Words behind you?

18 When you saw a thief, you consented with him, and have participated with adulterers.

19 "You give your mouth to evil. Your tongue frames deceit.

20 You sit and speak against your brother. You slander your own mother's son.

21 You have done these, and I kept silent. You thought that I was just like you. I will rebuke you, and accuse you in front of your eyes.

22 "Now understand this, you who forget ALUAH, lest I tear you into pieces, and there be none to save.

23 Whoever offers thanks esteems me, and prepares his way so that I will show the saving of ALUAH to him."

CHAPTER 51

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm for Dau'yad, when Nathan the nab’ya (prophet) came to him, after he had gone in to Bath Shaba: Have favor on me, O ALUAH, according to Your loving kindness. According to the multitude of Your compassion, blot out my transgressions.

2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity. Cleanse me from my transgression.

3 For I know my transgressions. My iniquity is constantly before me.

4 Against You, and You only, have I transgressed, and done that which is evil in Your Sight, that You are proven right when You speak, and pure when You judge.

5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity. In transgression my mother conceived me.

6 Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts. You teach me discernment in the hidden place.

7 Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean. Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

8 Let me hear joy and gladness, That the bones which You have broken rejoice.

9 Hide Your face from my transgressions, and blot out all of my iniquities.

10 Create in me a clean heart, O ALUAH. Renew a right rukh within me.

11 Do not throw me from Your dwelling, and do not take Your Made Apart RUKH from me.

12 Restore to me the joy of Your Rescue. Uphold me with a willing rukh.

13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways, so that wrongdoers shall turn back to You.

14 Save me from blood guilt, O ALUAH, the ALUAH of my rescue. My tongue shall sing aloud of your righteousness.

15 O My Sovereign, open my lips. My mouth shall declare Your praise.

16 For You do not delight in slaughterings, or else I would give it. You have no pleasure in burnt offering.

17 The slaughterings of ALUAH are a broken rukh. A broken and contrite heart, O ALUAH, You will not despise.

18 Do well in Your good pleasure to Tsa'yun. Build the walls of Yaru'shalam.

19 Then You will delight in the offerings of righteousness, in burnt offerings and in whole burnt offerings. Then they will offer bulls on Your altar.

CHAPTER 52

1 For the Chief Musician. A contemplation for Dau'yad, when Du'ag the Adam'ya came and told to Sha'ul, "Dau'yad has come to the house of  Akh’ya’malak”: Why do you boast of mischief, mighty man? The loving kindness of AL endures continually.

2 Your tongue plots destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

3 You love evil more than good, lying rather than speaking the truth. Salah.

4 You love all devouring words, you deceitful tongue.

5 AL will also destroy you forever. He will take you up, and pluck you out of your tent, and root you out of the land of the living. Salah.

6 The righteous also will see it, and fear, and laugh at him, saying,

7 "Behold, this is the man who didn't make ALUAH his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness."

8 But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in ALUAH's house. I trust in ALUAH's loving kindness forever and ever.

9 I will give You thanks forever, because You have done it. I will hope in Your Name, for it is good, before Your kind ones.

CHAPTER 53

1 For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Mahalath." A contemplation for Dau'yad: The fool has said in his heart, "There is no ALUAH." They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity. There is no one who does good.

2 ALUAH looks down from shama'ym on the children of men, to see if there are any who understood, who seek after ALUAH.

3 Every one of them has gone back. They have become filthy together. There is no one who does good, no, not one.

4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and do not call on ALUAH?

5 There they were in great fear, where no fear was, for ALUAH has scattered the bones of him who encamps against you. You have put them to shame, because ALUAH has rejected them.

6 Oh that the rescuing of Yashar'AL would come out of Tsa'yun! When ALUAH brings back His people from captivity, then Ya'aqab shall rejoice, and Yashar'AL shall be glad.

CHAPTER 54

1 For the Chief Musician, on stringed instruments. A contemplation for Dau'yad, when the Za'yapa'ym came and said to Sha'ul, "Isn't Dau'yad hiding himself among us?”:

Save me, O ALUAH, by Your Name! Govern me in Your Might!

2 Hear my prayer, O ALUAH. Listen to the words of my mouth.

3 For strangers have risen up against me. Violent men have sought after my being. They have not placed ALUAH before them. Salah.

4 Behold, ALUAH is my Helper. The Sovereign is the one who sustains my being.

5 He will repay the evil to my enemies. Destroy them in Your truth.

6 With a free will offering, I will slaughter to You. I will give thanks to Your Name, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), for it is good.

7 For He has saved me out of all trouble. My eye has looked over my enemies.

CHAPTER 55

1 For the Chief Musician, on stringed instruments. A contemplation for Dau'yad: Give ear to my prayer, ALUAH, and do not hide Yourself from my supplication.

2 Attend to me, and answer me. I am restless in my complaint, and moan,

3 Because of the voice of the enemy, Because of the oppression of the wicked. For they bring suffering on me. In anger they hold a grudge against me.

4 My heart is severely pained within me, and the frights of death have fallen on me.

5 Fear and trembling have come on me, and shuddering has overwhelmed me.

6 I said, "Oh that I had wings like a dove! Then I would fly away, and be at rest.

7 Behold, then I would wander far off. I would lodge in the wilderness." Salah.

8 "I would hurry to a shelter from the stormy wind and storm."

9 Confuse them, O My Sovereign, and confound their language, for I have seen violence and strife in the city.

10 Day and night they prowl around on its walls. Malice and abuse are also within her.

11 Calamities are within her. Threats and lies do not depart from her streets.

12 For it was not an enemy who insulted me, then I could have endured it. Neither was it he who hated me who raised himself up against me, then I would have hidden myself from him.

13 But it was you, a man like me, my companion, and my familiar friend.

14 We took sweet fellowship together. We walked in The House OF ALUAH with company.

15 Let death come upon them. Let them go down living into Sha'ul. For wickedness is in their dwelling, in the midst of them.

16 As for me, I will call on ALUAH, and 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) will save me.

17 Evening and rising and at noon, I will cry out in distress. He will hear my voice.

18 He has redeemed my being in shalum (peace) from the battle that was against me, although there are many who oppose me.

19 AL, who is enthroned forever, will hear, and afflict them. Salah. They never change, who do not fear ALUAH.

20 He raises his hands against his friends. He has violated his Bar’yath (covenant).

21 His mouth was smooth as butter, but his heart was war. His words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.

22 Cast your burden on 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), and He will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved.

23 But You, ALUAH, will bring them down into the pit of destruction. Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not dwell out half their days, but I, I will trust in You.

CHAPTER 56

1 For the Chief Musician, to the tune of "Silent Dove in Distant Lands." A poem for Dau'yad, when the Palash'tha'ym seized him in Gath: Be favorable to me, O ALUAH, for man wants to swallow me up. All day long, he attacks and oppresses me.

2 My enemies want to swallow me up all day long, for they are many who fight proudly against me.

3 When I am afraid, I will put my trust in You.

4 In ALUAH, I praise His Word. In ALUAH, I put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?

5 All day long they twist my words. All their thoughts are against me for evil.

6 They conspire and lurk, watching my steps, they are eager to take my being.

7 Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, ALUAH.

8 You number my wanderings. You put my tears into Your bottle. Are they not in Your Book?

9 Then my enemies shall turn back in the day that I call. I know this, that ALUAH is for me.

10 In ALUAH, I will praise His Word. In 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), I will praise His Word.

11 I have put my trust in ALUAH. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

12 Your vows are on me, ALUAH. I will give thank offerings to You.

13 For You have saved my being from death, and prevented my feet from falling, that I walk before ALUAH in the light of the living.

CHAPTER 57

1 For the Chief Musician, to the tune of "Do Not Destroy." A poem for Dau'yad, when he fled from Sha'ul, in the cave: Be favorable to me, ALUAH, be favorable to me, for my being takes refuge in You. Yes, in the shadow of Your wings, I will take refuge until destruction has passed.

2 I cry out to ALUAH Most High, to AL who accomplishes my requests for me.

3 He will send from shama'ym, and save me, He rebukes the one who is pursuing me. Salah. ALUAH will send out His loving kindness and His truth.

4 My being is among lions. I lie among those who kindle a fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.

5 Be exalted, O ALUAH, above the shama'ym! Let Your esteem be above all the earth!

6 They have prepared a net for my steps. My being is bowed down. They dig a pit before me. They fall into its midst themselves. Salah.

7 My heart is steadfast, O ALUAH, my heart is steadfast. I will sing and give praises.

8 Wake up, my esteem! Wake up, psaltery and harp! I will wake up the dawn.

9 I will give thanks to You, O My Sovereign, among the peoples. I will sing praises to You among the nations.

10 For Your great loving kindness reaches to the shama'ym, and Your truth to the skies.

11 Be exalted, O ALUAH, above the shama'ym. Let Your esteem be over all the earth!

CHAPTER 58

1 For the Chief Musician, to the tune of "Do Not Destroy." A poem for Dau'yad: Do you indeed speak righteousness, silent ones? Do you judge blamelessly, you sons of men?

2 No, in your heart you plot unrighteousness. You measure out the violence of your hands in the earth.

3 The wicked go astray from the womb. They are wayward as soon as they are born, speaking lies.

4 Their poison is like the poison of a snake; like a deaf cobra that stops its ear,

5 which does not listen to the voice of charmers, or a skilled caster of spells.

6 Break their teeth, O ALUAH, in their mouth. Break out the great teeth of the young lions, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH).

7 Let them vanish as water that flows away. Let Him aim His arrows that they be cut down.

8 Let them be like a snail which melts and passes away, like the stillborn child, who has not seen the sun.

9 Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns, he will sweep away the green and the burning alike.

10 The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance. He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked;

11 so that men shall say, "Most certainly there is a reward for the righteous. Most certainly there is AN ALUAH who judges the earth."

CHAPTER 59

1 For the Chief Musician, to the tune of "Do Not Destroy." A poem for Dau'yad, when Sha'ul sent, and they watched the house to slay him: Save me from my enemies, O MY ALUAH. Place me on high from those who rise up against me.

2 Rescue me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from the bloodthirsty men.

3 For, behold, they lie in wait for my being. The mighty gather themselves together against me, not for my disobedience, nor for my transgression, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH).

4 I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me. Rise up, behold, and help me!

5 You, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) ALUAH of hosts, the ALUAH of Yashar'AL, rouse yourself to punish the nations. Show no favor to the wicked traitors. Salah.

6 They return at evening, howling like dogs, and prowl around the city.

7 Behold, they spew with their mouth. Swords are in their lips, "For," they say, "who hears us?"

8 But you, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), laugh at them. You mock all the nations.

9 Oh, My Strength, I watch for You, for ALUAH Is My Strong Tower.

10 My ALUAH will go before me with His loving kindness. ALUAH will let me look at my enemies.

11 Do not slay them, or my people might forget. Scatter them by Your power, and bring them down, O My Sovereign, Our Shield.

12 For the iniquity of their mouth, and the words of their lips, let them be caught in their pride, for the curses and lies which they utter.

13 Consume them in wrath. Consume them, and they will be no more. Let them know that ALUAH rules in Ya'aqab, to the ends of the earth. Salah.

14 And at evening let them return. Let them howl like a dog, and go around the city.

15 They shall wander up and down for food, and wait all night if they aren't satisfied.

16 But I will sing of Your strength. Yes, I will sing aloud of Your loving kindness in the rising. For You have been my Strong Tower, a refuge in the day of my distress.

17 To You, my strength, I will sing praises. For ALUAH is my Strong Tower, the ALUAH of my kindness.

CHAPTER 60

1 For the Chief Musician, to the tune of "The Lily of the Bar’yath (covenant)." A teaching poem for Dau'yad, when he fought with Aram Nahara’ym and with Aram Tsubah, and Yahu’ab returned, and slayed twelve thousand of Adum in the Valley of Salt: O ALUAH, You have rejected us. You have broken us down. You have been angry. Turn back to us!

2 You have made the land tremble. You have torn it. Heal its fractures, for it quakes.

3 You have shown Your people hardship. You have made us drink the wine of trembling.

4 You have given a mark to those who fear You, that it might be displayed because of the truth. Salah.

5 So that Your beloved might be rescued, save with Your Right Hand, and answer us!

6 ALUAH has spoken from His Made Apartness: "I exult. I will divide Shakam, and measure out the valley of Sakuth.

7 Gal’ad is Mine, and Mana'shah is Mine. Apara’ym also is the defense of My head. Yahudah is My lawgiver.

8 Mu'ab is My wash pot. I will throw My shoe on Adum. I shout in triumph over Palash'tha."

9 Who will bring me into the strong city? Who has led me to Adum?

10 Have not You, O ALUAH, rejected us? You do not go out with our armies, O ALUAH.

11 Give us help against the adversary, for the help of man is vain.

12 Through ALUAH we shall do mightily, for it is He who treads down our adversaries!

CHAPTER 61

1 For the Chief Musician, on a stringed instrument, for Dau'yad: Hear my cry, O ALUAH. Listen to my prayer.

2 From the end of the earth, I will call to You, when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I.

3 For You have been a refuge for me, a strong tower from the enemy.

4 I will dwell in Your Tent forever. I will take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. Salah.

5 For You, O ALUAH, have heard my vows. You have given me the Inheritance of those who fear Your Name.

6 You will prolong the sovereign’s days; his years shall be for generations.

7 He shall be enthroned in the dwelling of ALUAH forever. Appoint Your loving kindness and truth, that they might preserve him.

8 So I will sing praise to Your Name forever, that I might fulfill my vows daily.

CHAPTER 62

1 For the Chief Musician. To Yadu'thun (Yadu’thoon). A Psalm for Dau'yad: My being rests in ALUAH alone. My rescue is from Him.

2 He alone is my Rock and my rescue, my strong tower— I will never be greatly shaken.

3 How long will you assail a man, would all of you throw him down, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

4 They fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place. They delight in lies. They Barak with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Salah.

5 My being, wait in silence for ALUAH alone, for my expectation is from Him.

6 He alone is my Rock and my rescue, my fortress. I will not be shaken.

7 With ALUAH is my rescue and my esteem. The Rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in ALUAH.

8 Trust in Him at all times, you people. Pour out your heart before Him. ALUAH is a refuge for us. Salah.

9 Surely sons of men are only a breath, and sons of men are a lie. In the balances they will go up. They are together lighter than a breath.

10 Do not trust in oppression. And do not become vain in robbery. If riches increase, do not place your heart on them.

11 ALUAH has spoken once; twice I have heard this, that strength belongs to ALUAH.

12 Also to You, O My Sovereign, belongs loving kindness, for You reward man according to his work.

CHAPTER 63

1 A Psalm for Dau'yad, when he was in the desert of Yahudah: ALUAH, You are my AL. I will earnestly seek You. My being thirsts for You. My flesh longs for You, in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.

2 So I have seen You in the Made Apart Place, watching Your strength and Your Esteem.

3 Because Your loving kindness is better than kha’Yah’ym (life), my lips shall praise You.

4 So I will Barak You while I have khaYah (life). I will lift up my hands in Your Name.

5 My being shall be satisfied as with the richest food. My mouth shall praise You with joyful lips,

6 When I remember You on my bed, and think about You in the night watches.

7 For You have been my help. I will rejoice in the shadow of Your wings.

8 My being stays close to You. Your Right Hand upholds me.

9 But those who seek my being, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

10 They shall be given over to the power of the sword. They shall be a portion for jackals.

11 But the sovereign shall rejoice in ALUAH. Everyone who swears by Him will praise Him, for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped.

CHAPTER 64

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm for Dau'yad: Hear my voice, O ALUAH, in my complaint. Preserve my khaYah (life) from fear of the enemy.

2 Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the noisy crowd of the ones doing evil;

3 who sharpen their tongue like a sword, and aim their arrows, deadly words,

4 to shoot innocent men from ambushes. They shoot at him suddenly and fearlessly.

5 They encourage themselves in evil plans. They talk about laying snares secretly. They say, "Who will see them?"

6 They plot unrighteousness, saying, "We have made a complete plan!" Surely man's inward part and heart are deep.

7 But ALUAH will shoot an arrow at them. They will be suddenly struck down.

8 They shall stumble over their own tongue. All who see them will flee.

9 All men shall fear, and declare the work of ALUAH, and shall prudently consider what He has done.

10 The righteous shall rejoice in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), and shall take refuge in Him. All the upright in heart shall praise Him!

CHAPTER 65

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm for Dau'yad: A song, praise, stillness for You, O ALUAH, in Tsa'yun. To You shall vows be performed.

2 You who hear prayer, to You all flesh will come.

3 Words of iniquity prevail against me; You atone for our transgressions.

4 Joyful is one whom You choose, and cause to come near, that he might abide in Your courts. We will be filled with the goodness of Your House, Your Made Apart Hayakal.

5 By awesome deeds of righteousness, You answer us, ALUAH of our rescue. You who are the trust of all the ends of the earth, and the distant seas;

6 Who forms the mountains, by His strength, girded with power;

7 who stills the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the uproar of the peoples.

8 They also who dwell in faraway places are afraid at Your wonders. You call the rising's dawn and the evening’s rejoice.

9 You visit the earth, and water it. You greatly enrich it. The river of ALUAH is full of water. You provide them grain, for so You have prepared it.

10 Its ridges have been filled, Its furrows have been deepened, You make it soft with showers, You Barak its growth.

11 You crown the year with Your goodness. Your paths drip with abundance.

12 The wilderness pastures overflow, and the hills are clothed with gladness.

13 The rams of the flock are clothed, and the valleys also are covered with grain. They shout for joy! They also sing.

CHAPTER 66

1 For the Chief Musician. A Song. A Psalm: Make a joyful shout to ALUAH, all the earth!

2 Sing to the splendor of His Name! Offer esteem and praise!

3 Say to ALUAH, "How awesome are Your works! Through the greatness of Your power, Your enemies feigned obedience to You.

4 All the earth will bow to You, and will sing to You, they praise Your Name." Salah.

5 Come, and see the works of ALUAH—awesome work toward the sons of men.

6 He turned the sea into dry land. They went through the river on foot. There, we rejoiced in Him.

7 He rules by His might forever. His eyes watch the nations. Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves. Salah.

8 Barak our ALUAH, you peoples! And make heard the sound of His praise,

9 Who preserves our being among the living, and does not allow our feet to be moved.

10 For You, O ALUAH, have proved us. You have refined us, as silver is refined.

11 You brought us into the stronghold. You laid a burden on our loins.

12 You allowed men to ride over our heads. We went through fire and through water, but You brought us to the place of abundance.

13 I will enter Your Hayakal with burnt offerings. I will complete my vows to You,

14 That which my lips promised, and my mouth spoke, when I was in distress.

15 I will offer to You burnt offerings of fat animals, with the incense of rams, I offer bulls with goats. Salah.

16 Come, and hear, all you who fear ALUAH, and I will declare what He has done for my being.

17 I cried to Him with my mouth, and He was extolled with my tongue.

18 If I cherished iniquity in my heart, The Sovereign would not hear.

19 But truly, ALUAH has listened. He has heard the voice of my prayer.

20 Baruk be ALUAH, who has not turned away my prayer, nor His loving kindness from me.

CHAPTER 67

1 For the Chief Musician, with stringed instruments. A Psalm. A Song: ALUAH be favorable to us, Barak us, and cause His Face to shine on us. Salah.

2 That Your way might be known on earth, and Your saving among all nations,

3 let the peoples praise You, O ALUAH. Let all the peoples praise You.

4 Let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for You will judge the peoples with uprightness, and lead the nations on earth. Salah.

5 Let the peoples praise You, O ALUAH. Let all the peoples praise You.

6 The earth has yielded its increase. ALUAH, even our own ALUAH, will Barak us.

7 ALUAH will Barak us. And all the ends of the earth shall fear Him.

CHAPTER 68

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm for Dau'yad. A Song: Let ALUAH arise! His enemies are scattered! And those who hate Him flee from His Face.

2 As smoke is driven away, You drive them away. As wax melts before the fire, the wicked perish before ALUAH.

3 But let the righteous be glad, they exult before ALUAH. And they rejoice with gladness.

4 Sing to ALUAH! Sing praises to His Name! Extol Him who rides in the plains: BY 𐤉𐤄 (YAH) His Name! And rejoice before Him!

5 A father of the fatherless, and a defender of the widows, is ALUAH in His Made Apart Habitation.

6 ALUAH makes a home for the lonely. He brings out the prisoners with singing, but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.

7 O ALUAH, when You went forth before Your people, when You marched through the wilderness... Salah.

8 The earth trembled, also the shama’ym dropped from before ALUAH, this Sayan'ya, from before ALUAH, the ALUAH of Yashar'AL.

9 You, O ALUAH, sent a plentiful rain. You confirmed Your inheritance, when it was weary.

10 Your flock dwelled therein. You, O ALUAH, prepared with Your goodness for the poor.

11 The Sovereign announced the word. The ones who proclaim it are a great company.

12 ”Sovereigns of armies flee! They flee!" And she who waits at home divides the spoil,

13 while you sleep among the sheepfolds, the wings of a dove sheathed with silver, and her feathers with green* gold.

*While most translations will say yellow, this Yahud’yath word derives from the adjective yaraq to mean green.

14 When The Almighty scattered sovereigns in it, it snowed on Tsal’mun (Tsal’moon).

15 A mountain of ALUAH is a mountain of Bashan, a mountain of peaks is a mountain of Bashan.

16 Why do you look in envy, you mountain of peaks, at the mountain where ALUAH chooses to reign? 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) will abide there forever.

17 The chariots of ALUAH are myriads* and thousands of thousands. The Sovereign is among them, from Sayan'ya, into the Made Apart Place.

*From Yahud’yath word rabath’ym — root word rab, to mean many, plural to denote many, plural

18 You have ascended on high. You have led away captives. You have received gifts among men, yes, among the rebellious also, that 𐤉𐤄 (YAH) ALUAH might dwell there.

19 Baruk be The Sovereign, who daily bears our burdens, even the AL who is our rescue. Salah.

20 Our AL is to us an AL of saving. To 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), the Sovereign, belongs escape from death.

21 But ALUAH will strike through the head of His enemies, the hairy scalp of such a one as still continues in his guiltiness.

22 The Sovereign said, "I will bring you again from Bashan, I will bring you again from the depths of the sea;

23 That you crush them, dipping your foot in blood, that the tongues of your dogs have their portion from your enemies."

24 They have seen Your processions, O ALUAH, even the processions of my AL, my King, into the Made Apart Place.

25 The singers went before, the minstrels followed after, in the midst of the maidens playing tambourines,

26 "Barak ALUAH in the congregations, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) from fountain of Yashar'AL!"

27 There is young Ban'yama'yan, their ruler, the princes of Yahudah, their council, the princes of Zabal’un (Zabal’oon), the princes of Nap’thal’ya.

28 Your ALUAH has commanded your strength. Strengthen, ALUAH, that which You have done for us.

29 Because of Your Hayakal at Yaru'shalam, sovereigns shall bring gifts unto You.

30 Rebuke the wild animal of the reeds, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the peoples. Being humbled, may it bring bars of silver. Scatter the nations that delight in wars.

31 Nobles shall come out of Ma’tsara’ym. Kush (Koosh) shall hurry to stretch out her hands to ALUAH.

32 Sing to ALUAH, you reigns of the earth! Sing praises to the Sovereign! Salah.

33 To Him who rides in the shama'ya of shama'ya, which are of old; behold, He sends His voice, a mighty voice.

34 Ascribe strength to ALUAH! His excellency is over Yashar'AL, and His strength is in the clouds.

35 You are awesome, O ALUAH, in Your Made Apart Places. The AL of Yashar'AL gives strength and power to His people. Baruk be to ALUAH!

CHAPTER 69

1 For the Chief Musician, to the tune of Shu’shan’ym, for Dau'yad: Save me, O ALUAH, for the waters have come up to my neck!

2 I sink in deep mire, where there is no foothold. I have come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.

3 I am weary with my crying. My throat is dry. My eyes grow dim, waiting for my ALUAH.

4 Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head. Those who want to cut me off, being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty. I must restore what I did not steal.

5 O ALUAH, You know my foolishness, and my transgressions aren't hidden from You.

6 Do not let those who wait for You be ashamed through me, Sovereign 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) of hosts. Do not let those who seek You be humbled through me, O ALUAH of Yashar'AL.

7 Because for Your sake, I have borne reproach. Shame has covered my face.

8 I have become a stranger to my brothers, a foreigner to my mother's children.

9 For the zeal of Your House consumes me, and the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me.

10 And I wept in my being with fasting, and it became my reproach.

11 And when I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a byword to them.

12 Those who sit in the gate talk about me, and I am the song of the drunkards.

13 But as for me, my prayer is to You, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), in an acceptable time. O ALUAH, in the abundance of Your loving kindness, answer me in the truth of Your saving.

14 Rescue me out of the mire, and do not let me sink. Let me be rescued from those who hate me, and out of the deep waters.

15 Do not let the flood waters overwhelm me, neither let the deep swallow me up. Do not let the pit shut its mouth on me.

16 Answer me, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), for Your loving kindness is good. According to the greatness of Your compassion, turn to me.

17 And do not hide Your face from Your servant, for I am in distress. Answer me speedily!

18 Draw near to my being, and redeem it. Ransom me because of my enemies.

19 You know my reproach, my shame, and my humiliation. My adversaries are all before You.

20 Reproach has broken my heart, and I am full of heaviness. I looked for sympathy, but there was none; And for comforters, but I found none.

21 They also gave me gall for my food, and for my thirst, they gave me vinegar to drink.

22 Let their table before them become a snare, and a trap to those in shalum (peace).

23 Let their eyes be darkened, so that they can't see, and let their loins shake continually.

24 Pour out Your wrath on them, and let the fierceness of Your anger overtake them.

25 Let their habitation become desolate. Let no one dwell in their tents.

26 For they persecute him whom You have smitten, and tell of the sorrows of those whom You have wounded.

27 Add crookedness to their crookedness, and do not let them enter into Your righteousness.

28 Let them be blotted from the book of kha’Yah’ym (living), and not be written with the righteous.

29 But I am in poor and in pain. Let Your Rescue, O ALUAH, place me on high.

30 I will praise The Name OF ALUAH with a song, and I will make Him great with thanksgiving.

31 And it pleases 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) better than an ox, or a bull that has horns and hooves.

32 The humble have seen it, and are glad. You who seek ALUAH, and your hearts dwell*.

*Derives from the Yahud’yath word khaYah

33 For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) hears the needy, and does not despise His captives.

34 Let shama'ym and earth praise Him; the seas, and everything that moves therein!

35 For ALUAH will save Tsa'yun, and build the cities of Yahudah. They shall dwell there, and possess it.

36 And the seed also of His servants shall inherit it, and those who love His Name shall dwell therein.

CHAPTER 70

1 For the Chief Musician, for Dau'yad, to bring Remembrance: O ALUAH, rescue me! Hasten to my help, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH)!

2 Let them be disappointed and confounded who seek my being. Let those who desire my ruin be turned back and humiliated.

3 Let them be turned because of their shame who say, "Aha! Aha!"

4 Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You, and let those who love Your saving continually say, "Let ALUAH be made great!”

5 But I am poor and needy. Hasten to me, O ALUAH. You are my help and my Savior. O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), do not delay!

CHAPTER 71

1 In You, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), I take refuge. Never let me be ashamed.

2 Save me in Your righteousness, and rescue me. Turn Your ear to me, and save me.

3 Be to me a Rock of refuge to which I always go. Give the command to save me, for You are my Rock and my fortress.

4 Rescue me, MY ALUAH, from the hand of the wicked, from the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.

5 For You are my expectation, Sovereign 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH); my confidence from my youth.

6 I have relied on You from the womb. You took me out of my mother's womb. My praise is continually of You.

7 I am a wonder to many, but You are my strong refuge.

8 My mouth shall be filled with Your praise, with Your splendor, all the day.

9 Do not reject me in my old age. Do not forsake me when my strength fails.

10 For my enemies talk about me, and those who watch for my being conspire together,

11 Saying, "ALUAH has forsaken him. Pursue and take him, for there is no one to rescue."

12 ALUAH, do not be far from me. My ALUAH, hasten to my help!

13 Let my adversaries be ashamed and consumed. Let them be covered with reproach and humiliation who want to harm me.

14 But I will continually wait, and will praise You more and more.

15 My mouth will tell about Your righteousness, and of Your rescue all the day, though I do not know its full measure.

16 I will come with the mighty acts of the Sovereign 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH). I will make mention of Your righteousness, even of Yours alone.

17 ALUAH, You have taught me from my youth. And until now, I have declared Your wondrous works.

18 And also, even when I am old and gray-haired, O ALUAH, do not forsake me, until I have declared Your strength to the next generation, Your might to everyone who is to come.

19 Your righteousness also, O ALUAH, reaches to the shama'ym; You have done great. O ALUAH, who is like You?

20 You, who have shown us great and evil distresses, You will revive me. You will bring us up again from the depths of the earth.

21 You will increase my esteem, and You will comfort me on every side.

22 I will also praise You with the harp for Your trustworthiness, O MY ALUAH. I sing praises to You with the lyre, O Made Apart One of Yashar'AL.

23 My lips shall shout for joy! My being, which You have redeemed, sings praises to You!

24 My tongue will also talk about Your righteousness all day long, for they are ashamed, and they are confounded, who want to harm me.

CHAPTER 72

1 For Shalamah: O ALUAH, give the sovereign Your right rulings; Your righteousness to the son of a sovereign.

2 He will rule Your people with righteousness, and Your poor with right ruling.

3 The mountains shall bring shalum (peace) to the people, and the hills with righteousness.

4 He will rightly rule the poor of the people, save the children of the needy, and break the oppressor in pieces.

5 They shall fear You while the sun endures; and as long as the moon, throughout all generations.

6 He will come down like rain on the mown grass, as showers that water the earth.

7 In His days, the righteous shall flourish, and abundance of shalum (peace), until the moon is no more.

8 He shall have rule also from sea to sea, from the River to the ends of the earth.

9 Those who dwell in the wilderness shall bow before Him, and His enemies shall lick the dust.

10 The sovereigns of Tharash’yash and of the islands will bring tribute. The sovereigns of Shaba and Saba shall offer gifts.

11 And let all sovereigns bow down before Him. All nations shall serve Him.

12 For He will rescue the needy when he cries; the poor, who has no helper.

13 He will have compassion on the poor and needy. He will save the beings of the needy.

14 He will redeem their being from oppression and violence, and their blood will be precious in His sight.

15 They shall dwell, and to Him shall be given of the gold of Shaba. Men shall pray for Him continually. They shall Barak Him all day long.

16 Abundance of grain shall be throughout the land. Its fruit sways like Laba'nun. Let it flourish, thriving like the grass of the field.

17 His name endures forever. His name continues before the sun. Men shall be Barak in Him. All nations will call Him glad.

18 Praise be to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) ALUAH, the ALUAH of Yashar'AL, Who Alone does marvelous deeds.

19 And Baruk be His Esteemed Name forever! Let the whole earth be filled with His esteem! So be it and so be it.

20 This ends the prayers of Dau'yad, son of Yasha'ya.

CHAPTER 73

1 A Psalm for Asap: Surely ALUAH is good to Yashar'AL, to those who are pure in heart.

2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone. My steps had nearly slipped.

3 For I was envious of the arrogant, when I saw the shalum (peace) of the wicked.

4 For there are no struggles in their death, but their strength is firm.

5 They are free from burdens of men, neither are they plagued like other men.

6 Therefore pride is like a chain around their neck. Violence covers them like a garment.

7 Their eyes bulge with fat. Their hearts pass the limits of conceit.

8 They scoff and speak with malice. In arrogance, they threaten oppression.

9 They have placed their mouth in the shama'ym, and their tongue walks through the earth.

10 “Therefore His People return here, and water of a filled cup is drained by them.”

11 And they say, "How does AL know? And is there knowledge in The Most High?"

12 Behold, these are the wicked, and always at ease, they increase in riches.

13 Surely in vain I have cleansed my heart, and washed my hands in innocence,

14 For all day long have I have been plagued, and my reproof every rising.

15 If I had said, "I will speak thus;" behold, I would have betrayed a generation of Your children.

16 Yet, when I tried to understand this, it was too painful in my eyes;

17 Until I entered into The Made Apart Place OF AL, then I considered their latter end.

18 Surely You place them in slippery places. You throw them down to destruction.

19 How they are suddenly destroyed! They are completely swept away with destructions.

20 As a dream when one wakes up, so, Sovereign, when You arise, You will despise their image.

21 For my heart was in a ferment, and I was embittered in my kidneys.

22 I was senseless and ignorant. I was like beasts toward You.

23 Nevertheless, I am continually with You. You have held my right hand.

24 You will lead me with Your counsel, and afterward receive me unto esteem.

25 Who do I have in shama'ym? And there is no one on earth who I desire besides You.

26 My flesh and my heart have been consumed, but ALUAH is the Rock of my heart and my portion forever.

27 For, behold, those who are far from You shall perish. You have cut off all those who whore away from You.

28 But it is good for me to come close to ALUAH. I have made the Sovereign 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) my refuge, to declare all Your works.

CHAPTER 74

1 A contemplation for Asap: O ALUAH, why have You rejected us forever? Why does Your anger smolder against the sheep of Your pasture?

2 Remember Your congregation, which You purchased of old, which You have redeemed to be the tribe of Your inheritance; Mount Tsa'yun, in which You have dwelled.

3 Lift up Your feet to the perpetual ruins, all the evil that the enemy has done in the Made Apart Place.

4 Your adversaries have roared in the midst of Your assembly. They have placed up their standards as signs.

5 They behaved like men wielding axes, cutting through a thicket of trees.

6 And now they break all its carved work down with hatchet and hammers.

7 They have burned Your Made Apart Place to the ground. They have profaned the Abiding Place Of Your Name.

8 They said in their heart, "We will suppress them completely." They have burned up all the places in the land where AL was worshiped.

9 We see no miraculous signs. There is no longer any nab’ya (prophet), neither is there among us anyone who knows how long.

10 How long, O ALUAH, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme Your Name forever?

11 Why do You draw back Your hand, even Your right hand? From the midst of Your bosom complete it!

12 Yet ALUAH is my Sovereign from old, working redemption in the midst of the earth.

13 You divided the sea by Your strength. You broke the heads of the sea monsters in the waters.

14 You broke the heads of Lu’yathan in pieces. You gave him as food to people, to wilderness.

15 You opened up spring and stream. You dried up mighty rivers.

16 The day is Yours, the night is also Yours. You have established the light and the sun.

17 You have placed all the boundaries of the earth. You have made summer and winter.

18 Remember this, that the enemy has reproached 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), and a foolish people have blasphemed Your name.

19 Do not give the being of Your dove to wild beasts. Do not forget the kha’yah’th (life) of Your afflicted ones forever.

20 Behold Your Bar’yath (covenant), for haunts of violence fill the dark places of the earth.

21 Do not let the oppressed return ashamed. Let the poor and needy praise Your Name.

22 Arise, O ALUAH! Plead Your own cause. Remember how the foolish man mocks You all day.

23 Do not forget the voice of Your adversaries. The uproar of those who rise up against You increases continually.

CHAPTER 75

1 For the Chief Musician, to the tune of "Do Not Destroy." A Psalm for Asap. A Song: We give thanks to You, O ALUAH. We give thanks, for Your Name is near. Your wonders are declared!

2 When I seize the appointed time, I will judge uprightly.

3 The earth and all its inhabitants melt. I firmly weigh its pillars. Salah.

4 I said to the boasters, "Do not boast!" And to the wicked, "Do not lift up the horn.

5 do not lift up your horn on high. You speak with a stiff neck."

6 For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the wilderness, comes exaltation.

7 But ALUAH is the Judge. He puts down one, and exalts another.

8 For in the Hand of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) there is a cup, full of foaming wine mixed with spices, and He pours it out. All of the wicked of the earth drink, draining it to its dregs.

9 But I, I will declare to forever: I will sing praises to the ALUAH of Ya'aqab.

10 And all the horns of the wicked I will cut off; the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.

CHAPTER 76

1 For the Chief Musician, on stringed instruments. A Psalm for Asap. A Song: In Yahudah, ALUAH is known. His Name is great in Yashar'AL.

2 And His tabernacle is also in Shalam, His dwelling place in Tsa'yun.

3 There He broke the flaming arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the weapons of war. Salah.

4 Splendid are You and excellent, more than mountains of prey.

5 Valiant men lie plundered, they have slept their last sleep. None of the men of war can lift their hands.

6 At Your rebuke, O ALUAH of Ya'aqab, both chariot and horse are cast into a deep sleep.

7 You, even You, are to be feared. And who can stand in Your sight when You are angry?

8 You pronounced right ruling from shama'ym. The earth feared, and was silent,

9 When ALUAH arose to right ruling, to save all the afflicted ones of the earth. Salah.

10 Surely the wrath of man praises You. The remnant of Your wrath, You will gird Yourself.

11 Make vows to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) Your ALUAH, and fulfill them! Let all of his neighbors bring gifts to One who is to be feared.

12 He will cut off the rukh of princes. He is feared by the kings of the earth.

CHAPTER 77

1 For the Chief Musician. To Yadu'thun (Yadu'thoon). A Psalm by Asap. My cry goes to ALUAH! Indeed, I cry, my voice to ALUAH, and He hears me.

2 In the day of my distress I sought the Sovereign. My hand was stretched out in the night, and did not get tired. My being refused to be comforted.

3 I remembered ALUAH, and I groaned. I complained, and my rukh grew faint. Salah.

4 You hold my eyelids open. I am so troubled and cannot speak.

5 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.

6 I remember my song in the night. I consider in my own heart, my rukh diligently inquires:

7 "Will The Sovereign reject us forever? Will He be favorable no more?

8 Has His loving kindness vanished forever? Does His promise fail for generations?

9 Has AL forgotten to show favor? Has He, in anger, withheld His compassion?" Salah.

10 Then I said, “My Affliction: Years of the right hand of the Most High."

11 I will remember the works of 𐤉𐤄 (YAH), for I will remember Your wonders of old.

12 I will also meditate on all Your work, and consider Your doings.

13 Your way, O ALUAH, is in the Made Apart Place. What AL is great like ALUAH?

14 You Are The AL who does wonders. You have made Your strength known among the peoples.

15 You have redeemed Your people with Your arm, the sons of Ya'aqab and Yahu'sap. Salah.

16 The waters saw You, O ALUAH. The waters saw You, and they anguished. The depths also trembled.

17 The clouds poured out water. The skies resounded with thunder. Your arrows also flashed around.

18 The voice of Your thunder was in the whirlwind. The lightnings lit up the world. The earth trembled and shook.

19 Your way was through the sea, Your paths through the great waters. Your footsteps were not known.

20 You led Your people like a flock, by the hand of Mashah and A'haran.

CHAPTER 78

1 A contemplation for Asap: Hear my Thur’ath, my people. Turn your ears to the words of my mouth.

2 I will open my mouth in a parable. I will utter riddles of old,

3 Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.

4 We will not hide them from their children, telling to the generation to come the praises of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), His strength, and His wondrous works that He has done.

5 For He established a witness in Ya'aqab, and appointed a teaching in Yashar'AL, which He commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children,

6 that the generation to come might know, even the children who should be born, who should arise and tell their children,

7 that they might put their confidence in ALUAH, and not forget the works of AL, but keep His commandments,

8 and might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that did not make their hearts loyal, whose rukh was not steadfast with AL.

9 The children of Apara’ym, being armed and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.

10 They did not keep the Bar’yath (covenant) of ALUAH, and refused to walk in His Thur’ath.

11 And they forgot His deeds, His wondrous works that He had shown them.

12 He did marvelous in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Ma’tsara’ym, in the field of Tsan.

13 He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through. He made the waters stand as a heap.

14 In the daytime He also led them with a cloud, and all night with a light of fire.

15 He split rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink abundantly as out of the depths.

16 And He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.

17 Yet they still went on to transgress against Him, to rebel against the Most High in the desert.

18 And they tempted AL in their heart by asking food according to their desire.

19 And they spoke against ALUAH. They said, "Can AL prepare a table in the wilderness?

20 Behold, He struck the rock, so that waters gushed out, and streams overflowed. Can He give bread also? Will He provide flesh for His people?"

21 Therefore 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) heard, and He passed over. And a fire was kindled against Ya'aqab, anger also went up against Yashar'AL,

22 Because they did not trust in ALUAH, and did not trust in His saving.

23 Yet He commanded the skies above, and opened the doors of shama'ym.

24 And He rained down mana on them to eat, and gave them food from the sky.

25 Man ate the bread of messengers. He sent them food to the full.

26 He caused the east wind to blow in the sky. By His power He guided the south wind.

27 And He rained also flesh on them as the dust, winged birds as the sand of the seas.

28 And He let them fall in the midst of their camp, around their habitations.

29 So they ate, and were well filled. He gave them their own desire

30 They did not turn from their desire. Their food was yet in their mouths,

31 when the anger of ALUAH went up against them, and He slew some of the fattest of them, and struck down the young men of Yashar'AL.

32 For all this they still transgressed, and did not trust in His wondrous works.

33 Therefore He consumed their days in vanity, and their years in terror.

34 When He slew them, then they inquired after Him. They returned and sought AL earnestly.

35 And they remembered that ALUAH was their Rock, and The Most High AL, their Redeemer.

36 But they flattered Him with their mouth, and they lied to Him with their tongue.

37 For their heart was not right with Him, neither were they trustworthy in His Bar’yath (covenant).

38 But He, compassionate, forgave iniquity, and did not destroy them. And many times He turned His anger away, and did not stir up all His wrath.

39 And He remembered that they were but flesh, a wind that passes away, and does not come again.

40 How often they rebelled against Him in the wilderness, and grieved Him in the desert!

41 And they returned and tempted AL, and provoked the Made Apart One of Yashar'AL.

42 They did not remember His hand, nor the day when He redeemed them from the adversary,

43 how He placed His signs in Ma’tsara’ym, His wonders in the field of Tsan,

44 He turned their rivers into blood, and their streams, so that they could not drink.

45 He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them, and frogs which destroyed them.

46 And He gave also their increase to the caterpillar, and their labor to the locust.

47 He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycamore fig trees with frost.

48 And He gave over their livestock also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.

49 He threw on them the fierceness of His anger, wrath, indignation, and trouble, and a band of messengers of evil.

50 He made a path for His anger. He did not spare their being from death, but gave their being over to the pestilence,

51 and struck all the firstborn in Ma’tsara’ym, the chief of their strength in the tents of Kham.

52 But He led forth His own people like sheep, and He guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

53 And He led them safely, so that they were not afraid, but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

54 And He brought them to the border of His Made Apart Place, to this mountain, which His right hand had taken.

55 He also drove out the nations before them, allotted them for an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Yashar'AL to dwell in their tents.

56 Yet they tempted and rebelled against The Most High ALUAH, and did not keep His witnesses,

57 but they turned back and dealt treacherously like their fathers. They were turned aside like a deceitful bow.

58 For they provoked Him to anger with their high places, and moved Him to jealousy with their engraved images.

59 When ALUAH heard this, He was angry, and He greatly despised Yashar'AL,

60 So that He forsook the tent of Shalu (Sha’loo), the tent which He placed among men,

61 and gave His strength into captivity, and His esteem into the hand of the adversary.

62 And He gave His people over to the sword, and was angry with His inheritance.

63 Fire devoured His young men, and their virgins were not boasted.

64 His ka’ahn (priests) fell by the sword, and His widows could not weep.

65 And The Sovereign awakened as one out of sleep, like a mighty man who shouts by reason of wine.

66 And He struck His adversaries backward. He put them to a perpetual reproach.

67 Moreover He rejected the tent of Yahu'sap, and did not choose the tribe of Apara’ym,

68 But chose the tribe of Yahudah, Mount Tsa'yun which He loved.

69 And He built His Made Apart Place like the heights, like the earth which He has established forever.

70 He also chose Dau'yad His servant, and took him from the sheepfolds,

71 from following the ewes that have their young, He brought him to be the shepherd of Ya'aqab, His people, and Yashar'AL, His inheritance.

72 So he was their shepherd according to the integrity of his heart, and he guided them by the skillfulness of his hands.

CHAPTER 79

1 A Psalm for Asap: O ALUAH, the nations have come into Your inheritance. They have defiled Your Made Apart Hayakal. They have laid Yaru'shalam in heaps.

2 They have given the dead bodies of Your servants: food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of Your kind ones to the beasts of the earth.

3 Their blood they have shed like water around Yaru'shalam. There was no one to bury them.

4 We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a scoffing and mockery to those who are around us.

5 How long, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH)? Will You be angry forever? Will Your jealousy burn like fire?

6 Pour out Your wrath on the nations that do not know You, on the reigns that do not call on Your Name,

7 For they have devoured Ya'aqab and destroyed his habitation.

8 Do not hold the iniquities of our forefathers against us. Let Your compassion speedily meet us, for we are brought very low.

9 Help us, O ALUAH of our saving, for the esteem of Your Name. And rescue us, and atone for our transgressions, for Your Name's sake.

10 Why should the nations say, "Where is their ALUAH?" Let it be known among the nations, before our eyes, that vengeance for Your servants' blood is poured out.

11 Let the sighing of the prisoner come before You. According to the greatness of Your power, preserve sons who are appointed to death.

12 Pay back to our neighbors seven times into their bosom their reproach with which they have reproached You, O Sovereign.

13 So we, Your people and sheep of Your pasture, will give You thanks forever. We will praise You forever, to all generations.

CHAPTER 80

1 For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "The Lilies of the Bar’yath (covenant)." A Psalm for Asap: Hear us, O Shepherd of Yashar'AL, You who lead Yahu'sap like a flock, You who sit above the karub'ym, shine forth!

2 Before Apara’ym and Ban'yaman and Mana'shah, stir up your might! Come to save us!

3 Cause us to turn back, O ALUAH, and cause Your face to shine, and we will be saved.

4 O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) ALUAH of hosts, How long will You be angry against the prayer of Your people?

5 You have fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink, triple-fold*.

*The Yahud’yath word used here is shal’yash from the word shal’ush to mean the number three

6 You make us a source of contention to our neighbors. Our enemies laugh among themselves.

7 Turn us again, O ALUAH of hosts. Cause Your face to shine, and we will be saved.

8 You brought a vine out of Ma’tsara’ym. You drove out the nations and planted it.

9 You cleared the ground for it, and it took deep root,  and it filled the land.

10 The mountains were covered with its shadow, and its boughs were like the cedars of AL.

11 She sent out her branches to sea, and her sprouts to the River.

12 Why have You broken down her hedges, so that all those who pass by the way pluck* her?

*This Yahud’yath word arah can also mean to expose or uncover

13 The boar out of the wood ravages it, and the wild beast of the field devours it.

14 Turn again, we beg You, O ALUAH of hosts. Look down from shama'ym and see, and visit this vine,

15 The stock which Your right hand planted, the branch that You made strong for Yourself.

16 It is burned with fire. It is cut down. They perish at Your rebuke of Your countenance.

17 Let Your hand be on the man of Your right hand, on son of man whom You made strong for Yourself.

18 So we will not turn away from You. Revive us, and we will call upon Your Name.

19 Turn us again, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) ALUAH of hosts. Cause Your face to shine, and we will be saved!

CHAPTER 81

1 For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. For Asap: Sing aloud to ALUAH, our strength! Make a joyful shout to the ALUAH of Ya'aqab!

2 Raise a song, and give the tambourine, the pleasant lyre with the harp.

3 Blow the ram’s horn at the New Month, at the appointed time*, on our festival day.

*Most translations say full moon. However, upon further investigation, the Yahud’yath word used here is kasa. Looking at the root kas you will see that this means appointed time or appointed day. Moon in the Yahud’yath means yarakh, so this verse cannot be talking about the moon or full moon, as the word yarakh is nowhere used in this verse. See also Mashal’ym 7:20, Bamadabar 10:10

4 For it is a statute for Yashar'AL, an ordinance of the ALUAH of Ya'aqab.

5 He appointed it in Yahu'sap for a witness, when He went out over the land of Ma’tsara’ym, I heard a language that I did not know.

6 "I removed his shoulder from the burden. His hands were freed from the basket.

7 You called in trouble, and I rescued you. I answered you in the secret place of thunder. I tested you at the waters of Mara'yabah." Salah.

8 "Hear, O My people, and I will witness to you, O Yashar'AL, if you would listen to Me!

9 There shall be no strange AL in you, neither shall you worship any foreign AL.

10 I am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) Your ALUAH, who brought you up out of the land of Ma’tsara’ym. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.

11 But My people would not listen to My voice, and none of Yashar'AL yielded to Me.

12 So I let them go after the stubbornness of their hearts, that they might walk in their own counsels.

13 Oh that My people would listen to Me, that Yashar'AL would walk in My Ways!

14 As small food* I would subdue their enemies, and turn my hand against their adversaries.

*The Yahud’yath word here is ka’mat (ka’muht) to mean food, but in most places it means little or small. The kap in front acts as a preposition to mean like or as

15 The haters of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) would cringe before Him, and their punishment would last forever.

16 But He would have also fed them with the finest of the wheat. And I will satisfy you with honey from the rock."

CHAPTER 82

1 A Psalm for Asap: ALUAH stands in the mighty congregation. He judges among the mighty ones.

2 "How long will You judge perversely, and show partiality to the wicked?" Salah.

3 "Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.

4 Rescue the weak and needy. Save them out of the hand of the wicked."

5 They do not know, neither do they understand. They walk back and forth in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

6 I said, "You are mighty ones, and all of you are sons of the Most High.

7 Nevertheless you shall die like men, and fall like one of the rulers."

8 Arise, O ALUAH, judge the earth, for You will inherit all of the nations.

CHAPTER 83

1 A song. A Psalm for Asap: O ALUAH, do not keep silent. Do not keep silent, and do not be still, O AL!

2 For, behold, Your enemies are stirred up. Those who hate You have lifted up their heads.

3 They craftily council against your people, and they plot against Your cherished ones.

4 "Come," they say, "and let us destroy them as a nation, that the name of Yashar'AL be remembered no more."

5 For they have conspired together with one mind. They form an alliance against You.

6 The tents of Adum and the Ya'shama'AL'ym, Mu'ab, and the Hagar’ym,

7 Gabal, Amun, and Amalaq, Palash'tha with the inhabitants of Tsur,

8 Ashur also is joined with them. They have helped the children of Lut (Loot). Salah.

9 Do to them as You did to Mada’yan, as Saya’sara, as Yaba’yan, at the river Qayash’un (Qaya’shoon),

10 who perished at Ayan Da’ar, who became as dung for the earth.

11 Make their nobles like Arab and like Zab, and all their princes like Zabakh and like Tsal’mana,

12 who said, "Let us take possession of ALUAH's pasturelands."

13 O MY ALUAH, make them like tumbleweed, like chaff before the wind.

14 As the fire that burns the forest, as the flame that puts the mountains on fire,

15 so pursue them with Your whirlwind, and terrify them with Your storm.

16 Fill their faces with confusion, that they seek Your Name, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH).

17 Let them be ashamed and alarmed forever. And let them be confounded and perish,

18 that they know that You Alone, whose name is 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), are the Most High over all the earth.

CHAPTER 84

1 For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. A Psalm for the sons of Qarakh: How lovely are Your Tabernacles, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) of hosts!

2 My being longs and even faints for the courts of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH). My heart and my flesh cry out for the KHAYAH (ABIDING) AL.

3 Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she might have her young, near your altars, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) of hosts, My Sovereign, and My ALUAH.

4 Joyful are those who abide in Your house. They are always praising You. Salah.

5 Joyful are those whose strength is in You, Your Highways in their heart.

6 Passing through the valley of Weeping, they make it a fountain. Yes, the early rain covers it with Barak’uth (Barak’ooth).

7 They go from strength to strength. Everyone of them appears before ALUAH in Tsa'yun.

8 O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), ALUAH of hosts, hear my prayer. Give ear, O ALUAH of Ya'aqab. Salah.

9 Behold, O ALUAH our shield, look at the face of Your anointed.

10 For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my ALUAH, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

11 For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) ALUAH is a sun and a shield. 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) will give favor and esteem. He withholds no good from those who walk blamelessly.

12 O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) of hosts, joyful is man who trusts in You!

CHAPTER 85

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm for the sons of Qarakh: O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), You are pleased [with] Your land. You will turn back the captivity of Ya'aqab.

2 You have forgiven the iniquity of Your people. You have covered all their transgression. Salah.

3 You have taken away all Your wrath. You have turned from the fierceness of Your anger.

4 Turn back to us, O ALUAH of our rescue, and cause Your wrath toward us to cease.

5 Will You be angry with us forever? Will You draw out your anger to all generations?

6 Will You not revive us again, that Your people rejoice in You?

7 Show us Your loving kindness, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), and grant us Your saving.

8 I will hear what AL, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), will speak, for He will speak shalum (peace) to His people, His kind ones, but let them not turn again to folly.

9 Surely His saving is near those who fear him, that esteem might dwell in our land.

10 Kindness and truth meet together. Righteousness and shalum (peace) have kissed each other.

11 Truth springs out of the earth. Righteousness has looked down from shama'ym.

12 Indeed, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) will give that which is good. Our land will yield its increase.

13 Righteousness goes before Him and prepares the way for His footsteps.

CHAPTER 86

1 A Prayer for Dau'yad: Incline Your Ear,  O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), and answer me, for I am poor and needy.

2 Preserve my being, for I am kind. You are My ALUAH, save Your servant who trusts in You.

3 Be favorful to me, O Sovereign, for I call to You all day long.

4 Bring joy to the being of Your servant, for to You, O Sovereign, do I lift up my being.

5 For You, O Sovereign, are good, and ready to forgive, abundant in loving kindness to all those who call on You.

6 Hear, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), my prayer, and listen to the voice of my petitions.

7 In the day of my distress I call on You, for You will answer me.

8 There is no one like You among the mighty ones, O Sovereign, and none like Your deeds.

9 All nations You have made will come and worship before You, O Sovereign. They shall esteem Your Name.

10 For You are great and do wonders. You are ALUAH alone.

11 Teach me Your Way, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH). I will walk in Your truth. Unite my heart to fear Your name.

12 I will praise You, O Sovereign my ALUAH, with my whole heart, and I will esteem your name forevermore.

13 For Your loving kindness is great toward me. You have rescued my being from the lowest Sha'ul.

14 O ALUAH, the proud have risen up against me. A company of violent men have sought after my being, and they do not hold regard for You before them.

15 But You, O Sovereign, are a favorful and compassionate AL, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth.

16 Turn to me, and show favor on me! Give Your strength to your servant, and save son of Your handmaid.

17 Show me a sign of Your goodness, that those who hate me see it and be ashamed, because You, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), have helped me and comforted me.

CHAPTER 87

1 A Psalm for the sons of Qarakh, A Song: His foundation is in the Made Apart mountains.

2 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) loves the gates of Tsa'yun more than all the abidings of Ya'aqab.

3 Esteemed words are spoken about you, O city of ALUAH. Salah.

4 I will remember Rahab and Babal among those who acknowledge me. Behold, Palash'tha and Tsur, and also Kush: "This was born there."

5 And of Tsa'yun it will be said, “Person and person were born in her," The Most High Himself will establish her.

6 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) will count, when He writes up the peoples: "This [one] was born there." Salah.

7 And singers like players [on instruments]: "All my fountains are in you."

CHAPTER 88

1 A Song. A Psalm by the sons of Qarakh. For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "The Suffering of Affliction." A contemplation to Ha’yaman the Azar’kha’ya: O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), The ALUAH Of My Saving, I have cried day and night before You.

2 Let my prayer enter before Your Face. Turn Your ear to my cry.

3 For my being is full with evils. My being and my khaYah (life) draw near to Sha'ul.

4 I am counted among those who go down into the pit. I am like a man who has no help,

5 Free among the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom You remember no more. They are cut off from Your hand.

6 You have laid me in the lowest pit, in the darkest depths.

7 Your wrath lies heavily on me. You have afflicted me with all your waves. Salah.

8 You have taken my friends from me. You have made me an abomination to them. I am confined, and I cannot escape.

9 My eyes are dim from grief. I have called on You daily, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH). I have spread out my hands to You.

10 Do You show wonders to the dead? Do the dead rise up and praise You? Salah.

11 Is Your loving kindness declared in the grave? Or Your trustworthiness in Destruction?

12 Are Your wonders made known in the dark? Or Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

13 But to You, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), I have cried. And in the rising my prayer comes before You.

14 O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), why do You reject my being? Why do You hide Your face from me?

15 I am afflicted and dying from youth. I suffer Your terrors, I am perplexed.

16 Your fierce wrath has gone over me. Your terrors have cut me off.

17 They came around me like water all day long. They completely engulfed me.

18 You have put lover and friend far from me, and darkness is my acquaintance.

CHAPTER 89

1 A contemplation for Ayathan the Azar’kha’ya: I will sing of the loving kindness of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) forever. With my mouth, I will make known Your trustworthiness to all generations.

2 For I will declare: “Kindness stands firm forever. You established the shama'ym. Your trustworthiness is in them."

3 "I have made a Bar’yath (covenant) with my chosen one, I have sworn to Dau'yad, my servant,

4 'I will establish your seed forever, and build up your throne to all generations.'" Salah.

5 And the shama'ym will praise Your wonders, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), Your trustworthiness also in the assembly of the Made Apart ones.

6 For who in the skies can be compared to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH)? Who among the sons of the mighty is like 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH),

7 AL is greatly reverenced in the company of the Made Apart ones, and awesome above all those around Him.

8 O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), ALUAH of hosts, who is a mighty one like You, O 𐤉𐤄 (YAH)? And Your trustworthiness is around You.

9 You rule the raging of the sea. When its waves rise up, You calm them.

10 You have broken Rahab in pieces, like one of the slain. You have scattered your enemies with Your mighty arm.

11 The shama'ym are to You. The earth also is to You, the world and its fullness. You have established them.

12. North and South, You have created them. Thabur and Khar’mun (Khar’moon) rejoice in Your Name.

13 You have a mighty arm. Your hand is strong, and Your right hand is exalted.

14 Righteousness and right ruling are the foundation of Your throne. Loving kindness and truth go before Your face.

15 Glad are the people who know the joyful shout! They walk in the light of Your Face, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH).

16 In Your name they rejoice all day. In Your righteousness they are exalted.

17 For You are the esteem of their strength, and in Your pleasure our horn will be exalted.

18 For our shield belongs to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), Our Sovereign is the Made Apart One of Yashar'AL.

19 Then You spoke in vision to Your kind one and said, "I have bestowed strength on the warrior. I have exalted a young man from the people.

20 I have found Dau'yad My servant. I have anointed him with my Made Apart oil,

21 With whom My hand shall be established. My arm will also strengthen him.

22 No enemy will tax him. No wicked man will oppress him.

23 I will beat down his adversaries before him, and strike those who hate him.

24 But My trustworthiness and My loving kindness will be with him. And In My Name, his horn will be exalted.

25 And I will place his hand also on the sea, and his right hand on the rivers.

26 He will call to me, 'You are My Father, MY AL, and the Rock of my saving!’

27 I will also appoint him firstborn, the highest of the sovereigns of the earth.

28 I will keep My loving kindness for him forevermore, and My Bar’yath (covenant) will stand firm with him.

29 And I will establish his seed endure forever, and his throne as the days of shama'ym.

30 If his sons forsake My Thur’ath, and do not walk in My ordinances,

31 if they defile My statutes, and do not keep My commandments,

32 then I will punish their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.

33 But I will not completely take my loving kindness from him, nor allow my trustworthiness to fail.

34 I will not break my Bar’yath (covenant), nor alter what My Lips have uttered.

35 Once have I sworn by My Made Apartness, I will not lie to Dau'yad.

36 His seed will endure forever, his throne like the sun before Me.

37 It will be established forever like the moon, the trustworthy witness in the sky." Salah.

38 But You have rejected and spurned. You have been angry with Your anointed.

39 You have rejected the Bar’yath (covenant) of Your servant. You have defiled his crown in the dust.

40 You have broken down all his hedges. You have brought his strongholds to ruin.

41 All who pass by the way rob him. He has become a reproach to his neighbors.

42 You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries. You have made all of his enemies rejoice.

43 You also turn back the edge of his sword, and have not established him in battle.

44 You have ended his splendor, and thrown his throne down to the ground.

45 You have shortened the days of his youth. You have covered him with shame. Salah.

46 How long, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH)? Will You hide Yourself forever? Will Your wrath burn like fire?

47 Remember what my age is! For what vanity have You created all the children of men!

48 What man is he who shall khaYah (live) and not see death, who shall rescue his being from the power of Sha'ul? Salah.

49 O Sovereign, where are Your former loving kindnesses, which You swore to Dau'yad in Your trustworthiness?

50 Remember, O Sovereign, the reproach of Your servants, how I bear in my heart the taunts of all the many peoples,

51 With which Your enemies have mocked, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), with which they have mocked the footsteps of Your anointed.

52 Baruk Be 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) to forevermore. So be it, and so be it.

CHAPTER 90

1 A Prayer for Mashah, a man of ALUAH: O Sovereign, You have been our habitation for all generations.

2 Before the mountains were brought forth, before You had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You Are AL.

3 You turn man to crushed, saying, "Return, O children of men."

4 For a thousand years in Your eyes are like a day before when it is past, and a watch in the night.

5 You sweep them away as they sleep. In the rising they sprout like new grass.

6 In the rising it sprouts and springs up. By evening, it is withered and dry.

7 For we are consumed in Your anger, and we are alarmed in Your wrath.

8 You have placed our iniquities before You, our secrets to the light of Your Face.

9 For all our days have passed away in Your wrath. We complete our years like a murmur.

10 The days of our years are in seventy years, or even by reason of strength eighty years, yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for it soon cut off, and we fly away.

11 Who knows the power of Your anger, And Your wrath according to the fear of You?

12 So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of discernment.

13 Return, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH)! How long? And have compassion on Your servants!

14 Satisfy us in the rising with your loving kindness, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

15 Make us glad for as many days as You have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen evil.

16 Reveal Your work to Your servants, and Your beauty to their children.

17 And let the pleasantness of The Sovereign Our ALUAH be on us, establish the work of our hands for us, and establish the work of our hands.

CHAPTER 91

1 He who abides in the secret place of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), "My refuge and My fortress, MY AL, in Him I will trust."

3 For He will rescue you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence.

4 He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you will take refuge. His trustworthiness is your shield and buckler.

5 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day,

6 nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at midday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.

8 Only with your eyes you will look on, and see the reward of the wicked.

9 Because You 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), are My Refuge, The Most High is made your abiding place,

10 No evil shall befall you, neither shall any plague come near your tent.

11 For His messengers He will give charge for you, for your guard in all your ways.

12 They will bear you up in their hands, so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.

13 You will tread upon the lion and cobra. You will trample the young lion and serpent under foot.

14 "Because he has placed his love in Me, therefore I will rescue him. I will exalt him on high, because he has known My Name.

15 He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will rescue him and esteem him.

16 Length of days I will fill him, and show him My saving!”

CHAPTER 92

1 A Psalm. A Song for the Shabath Day: Good to give thanks to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), to sing praises to Your Name, O Most High,

2 to proclaim Your loving kindness in the rising, and Your trustworthiness every night,

3 on ten-strings, and on the harp, with the melody of the lyre.

4 For You, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), have made me glad through Your work. I will triumph in the works of Your hands.

5 How great are Your works, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH)! Your thoughts are very deep.

6 A senseless man does not know, neither does a fool understand this:

7 though the wicked spring up as the grass, and all the evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever.

8 But You, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), are on high forevermore.

9 For behold, Your enemies, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH)! For behold, Your enemies shall perish. All the evildoers will be scattered.

10 But You have exalted my horn like that of the rhinoceros*. I am anointed with fresh oil.

*See Ayub 39:9-10

11 And my eye has seen my enemies. My ears have heard of the wicked enemies who rise up against me.

12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree. He will grow like a cedar in Laba'nun.

13 They are planted in the house of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH). They will flourish in our ALUAH's courts.

14 They will still bring forth fruit in old age. They will be full of sap and green,

15 to show that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) is upright. He is My Rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

CHAPTER 93

1 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) reigns! He is clothed, wears Excellency! 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) is armed with strength. The world also is established, it shall not move.

2 Your throne is established from long ago. You are from everlasting.

3 The rivers have lifted up, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), the rivers have lifted up their voice. The rivers lift up their waves.

4 Above the voices of many waters, the mighty breakers of the sea, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) on high is mighty.

5 Your statutes greatly stand firm. Made Apartness adorns Your house, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), forevermore.

CHAPTER 94

1 O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), AL to whom vengeance belongs, AL to whom vengeance belongs, shine forth!

2 Rise up, O judge of the earth. Render punishment to the proud.

3 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), how long are the wicked? How long will the wicked triumph?

*Another way to say this phrases is until when?

4 They pour out arrogant words. All the evildoers boast.

5 They break Your people in pieces, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), and afflict Your heritage.

6 They kill the widow and the alien, and murder the fatherless.

7 Yet they say, "𐤉𐤄 (YAH) will not see, neither will The ALUAH OF Ya'aqab consider."

8 Consider, you senseless among the people, you fools, when will you become discerned?

9 He who implanted the ear, will He not hear? He who formed the eye, will He not see?

10 He who disciplines the nations, will He not punish? He who teaches man knows.

11 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) knows the thoughts* of man, that they are futile.

*This can also be translated as ways or plans

12 Joyful is the man whom You discipline, O 𐤉𐤄 (YAH), and teach from Your Thur’ath,

13 For rest unto him from days of evil, until the pit is dug for the wicked.

14 For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) will not reject His people, neither will He forsake His inheritance.

15 For right ruling will return to righteousness, and all the upright in heart shall follow it.

16 Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against the evildoers?

17 Unless 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) had been My help, my being would have soon abided in silence.

18 When I said, "My foot has slipped!” Your loving kindness, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), held me up.

19 In the abundance of my anxieties within me, Your comforts delight my being.

20 Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with You, which brings about trouble by statute?

21 They gather themselves together against the being of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.

22 But 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) has been My high tower, My ALUAH, The Rock of My refuge.

23 He has brought on them their own iniquity, and will cut them off in their own wickedness. 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) Our ALUAH will cut them off.

CHAPTER 95

1 Come, let us sing to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH). Let us shout aloud to the Rock of our saving!

2 Let us come before His face with thanksgiving. Let us extol Him with songs!

3 For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) Is A Great AL, A Great Sovereign above all mighty ones.

4 In His hand are the deep places of the earth. The heights of the mountains are also His.

5 The sea is His, and He made it. His hands formed the dry land.

6 Come, let us worship and bow down. Let us kneel before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) Our Maker,

7 for He is our ALUAH. We are the people of His pasture, and the sheep in His care. Today, if you would hear His voice!

8 Do not harden your heart, as at Mara'yabah, as the day of Masah (trial) in the wilderness,

9 when your fathers tempted Me, tested Me, though they saw My work.

10 Forty years I was grieved with [that] generation and said, “They are a people that go astray in their hearts. And they do not know My ways."

11 Therefore I swore in My wrath, “If they will enter into My rest."

CHAPTER 96

1 Sing to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) a new song! Sing to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), all the earth!

2 Sing to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH)! Barak His Name! Proclaim His saving from day to day!

3 Declare His esteem among the nations, His wonders among all the peoples.

4 For great is 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), and greatly to be praised! He is to be feared above all mighty ones.

5 For all the mighty ones of the peoples are idols, but 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) made the shama'ym.

6 Esteem and excellency are before Him. Strength and beauty are in His Made Apart Place.

7 Ascribe to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), O clans of nations, ascribe to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) esteem and strength.

8 Ascribe to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) the esteem due to His Name. Bring an offering, and come into His courts.

9 Worship 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) in Made Apart beauty. Tremble before him, all the earth.

10 Say among the nations, "𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) Reigns!” The world is also established. It shall not move. He will judge the peoples with uprightness.

11 Let the shama'ym be glad, and let the earth rejoice. Let the sea roar, and its fullness!

12 Let the field and all that is in it exult! Then all the trees of the woods shall sing for joy,

13 To the face of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), for He comes! For He comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness, and the peoples with His truth.

CHAPTER 97

1 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) Reigns! Let the earth rejoice! Let the multitude of islands be glad!

2 Clouds and darkness are around Him. Righteousness and right ruling are the foundation of His throne.

3 A fire goes before Him and burns up His adversaries around.

4 His lightning lights up the world. The earth sees and trembles.

5 The mountains melt like wax from the face of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), from the face of The Sovereign of the whole earth.

6 The shama'ym declare His righteousness, and all the peoples have seen His esteem.

7 Let all them be ashamed who serve engraved images, who boast in their idols. Worship Him, all you mighty ones!

8 Tsa'yun heard and was glad. The daughters of Yahudah rejoiced, because of Your right rulings, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH).

9 For You, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), Are Most High above all the earth. You are exalted above all mighty ones.

10 You who love 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), hate evil. He preserves the beings of His kind ones. He rescues them out of the hand of the wicked.

11 Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.

12 Rejoice in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), you who are righteous! Give thanks to His Made Apart Name.

CHAPTER 98

1 A Psalm: Sing to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) a new song, for He has done wonders! His right hand, and His Made Apart arm, have worked rescuing for Him.

2 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) has made known His saving. He has revealed His righteousness in the sight of the nations.

3 He has remembered His loving kindness and His trustworthiness toward the house of Yashar'AL. All the ends of the earth have seen the saving of our ALUAH.

4 Make a joyful noise to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), all the earth! Break forth in song and rejoice and sing praises!

5 Sing praises to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) with the harp, with the harp and the voice of a song.

6 With trumpets and sound of the ram's horn, raise a shout before the face of The Sovereign 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH).

7 Let the sea roar with its fullness, the world, and those who dwell therein.

8 Let the rivers clap their hands. Let the mountains sing for joy together,

9 Before the face of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), for He comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples in uprightness.

CHAPTER 99

1 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) Reigns! Let the peoples tremble! He sits enthroned among the karub'ym. Let the earth quake!

2 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) is great in Tsa'yun. He is high above all the peoples.

3 Let them praise Your great and awesome Name. He Is Made Apart!

4 And The Sovereign’s strength also loves right ruling. You do establish uprightness. You execute right ruling and righteousness in Ya'aqab.

5 Exalt 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) Our ALUAH, and worship at His footstool. He Is Made Apart!

6 Mashah and A'haran were among his ka’ahn’yu (priests), Shamu’AL among those who call on His Name, they called upon 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), and He answered them.

7 He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud. They kept His witnesses, and the statute given to them.

8 You answered them, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) Our ALUAH. You are an AL who forgave them, although You took vengeance for their deeds.

9 Exalt 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) Our ALUAH. And bow down toward His Made Apart Mountain. For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) Our ALUAH Is Made Apart!

CHAPTER 100

1 A Psalm for Thanksgiving: Shout for joy to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), all the earth!

2 Serve 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) with gladness. Come before His face with singing.

3 Know that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), He Is ALUAH! He made us, and not we ourselves. We are His people, and the sheep of His pasture.

4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, into His courts with praise. Give thanks unto Him, and Barak His Name.

5 For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) is good. His loving kindness endures forever, and His trustworthiness to all generations.

CHAPTER 101

1 A Psalm for Dau’yad: I will sing of loving kindness and right ruling. To You, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), I will sing praises.

2 I will act discerned in a complete way. When will You come to me? I will walk within my house with a blameless heart.

3 I will place no vile matter before my eyes. I hate the deeds of those who fall away. They will not cling to me.

4 A perverse heart will be far from me. I will not know evil.

5 I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I will not tolerate one who has proud eyes and arrogant heart.

6 My eyes will be on the trustworthy of the land, that they may dwell with me. He who walks in a complete way, he will serve me.

7 He who practices deceit will not dwell within my house. He who speaks falsehood will not be established before my eyes.

8 For every rising I will destroy all the wicked of the land, to cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH).

CHAPTER 102

1 A Prayer for the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed and pours out his complaint before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH): Hear my prayer, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH)! And let my cry come to You.

2 Do not hide yYur face from me in the day of my distress. Turn Your ear to me. Answer me quickly in the day when I call.

3 For my days consume away like smoke, and my bones are burned as a torch.

4 My heart is blighted like grass, and withered, for I forget to eat my bread.

5 By reason of the voice of my groaning, my bones stick to my flesh.

6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness. I have become as an owl of the desolation.

7 I watch, and have become like a sparrow that is alone on a roof.

8 My enemies reproach me all day, and those who boast against me swear.

9 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mixed my drink with tears,

10 Because of Your indignation and Your wrath, for You have lifted me up, and thrown me away.

11 My days are like a long shadow, and I have withered like grass.

12 But You, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), will remain forever, Your remembrance endures to all generations.

13 You will arise and have compassion on Tsa'yun, for it is time to favor her, because the appointed time has come.

14 For Your servants take pleasure in her stones, and show favor on her dust.

15 So the nations will fear the name of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), and all the sovereigns of the earth Your esteem.

16 For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) has built up Tsa'yun. He has appeared in His esteem.

17 He has responded to the prayer of the destitute, and has not despised their prayer.

18 This will be written for the generation to come. And a people which will be created will praise 𐤉𐤄 (YAH).

19 For He has looked down from the height of His Made Apart Place. From shama'ym, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) saw the earth,

20 to hear the groans of the prisoner, to release those who are condemned to death,

21 that men may declare The Name of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) in Tsa'yun, and His praise in Yaru'shalam,

22 when the peoples are gathered together, and reigns, to serve 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH).

23 He has humbled my strength along the course. He has shortened my days.

24 I said, “O MY AL, do not take me away in the midst of my days. Your years are throughout all generations.

25 Of old, You laid the foundation of the earth. The shama'ym are the work of Your hands.

26 They will perish, but You, You will stand. And all of them will wear out like a garment. You will change them like a cloak, and they will be changed.

27 But You are the same, and Your years have no end.

28 The sons of your servants will continue, and their seed will be established to Your face.”

CHAPTER 103

1 For Dau'yad: Barak 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), O my being! And all that is within me, His Made Apart Name!

2 Barak 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), O my being, and do not forget all His recompenses,

3 who forgives all your transgressions, who heals all your diseases,

4 who redeems your khaYah (life) from destruction, who crowns you with loving kindness and compassions,

5 who satisfies your desire with good, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

6 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) executes righteous acts, and right ruling for all who are oppressed.

7 He made known his ways to Mashah, His deeds to the children of Yashar'AL.

8 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) is compassionate and shows favor, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness.

9 He will not always strive, neither will He stay angry forever.

10 He has not dealt with us according to our transgressions, nor repaid us for our iniquities.

11 For as the shama'ym are high above the earth, so great is His loving kindness toward those who fear Him.

12 As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.

13 Like a father has compassion on his children, so 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) has compassion on those who fear Him.

14 For He knows how we are made. He remembers that we are dust.

15 As for man, his days are like grass. As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

16 For the wind passes over it, and it is gone. Its place remembers it no more.

17 But the loving kindness of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear Him, and His righteousness to children's children,

18 to those who keep His Bar’yath (covenant), to those who remember to obey His precepts.

19 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) has established His throne in the shama'ym. His reign rules over all.

20 Barak 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), O messengers of His, who are mighty in strength, who fulfill His word, obeying the voice of His word.

21 Barak 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), all hosts of His, servants of His, who do His pleasure.

22 Barak 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), all works of His, in all places of His rule. Barak 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), O my being!

CHAPTER 104

1 Barak 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), O my being. 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), MY ALUAH, You have been very great. You are clothed with excellency and splendor.

2 Covering light as a garment, stretching out the shama'ym like a curtain.

3 Who lays the beams of His rooms in the waters, who makes the clouds His chariot, who walks on the wings of the wind.

4 Making His messengers winds, His servants a flame of fire

5 He laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be moved forever.

6 You covered it with the deep as with a cloak. The waters stood above the mountains

7 At Your rebuke they fled. At the voice of Your thunder they hurried away.

8 They went up the mountains, they went down in the valleys, to the place which You founded for them.

9 You have placed a boundary that they may not pass over, that they do not turn again to cover the earth.

10 Sending forth springs into the valleys. They flow among the mountains.

11 They give drink to every beast of the field. Wild donkeys quench their thirst.

12 The birds of the sky nest by them. They sing among the branches.

13 Watering the mountains from His rooms. The earth is filled with the fruit of Your works.

14 Causing the grass to grow for the livestock, and plants for the servants of man, that he may bring forth food out of the earth:

15 And wine that makes glad the heart of man, oil to make his face to shine, and bread that strengthens man's heart.

16 The trees of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) are well watered, the cedars of Laba’nun, which He has planted,

17 where the birds make their nests. The stork makes its home in the fir trees.

18 The high mountains are for the wild goats. The rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers.

19 Making the moon for seasons. The sun knows its arrival.

20 You make darkness, and it is for night, in which all the beasts of the forest prowl.

21 The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from AL.

22 The sun rises, and they steal away, and lay down in their dens

23 Man goes forth to his work, to his labor until the evening.

24 O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), how many are Your works! In discernment have You made them all. The earth is full of Your riches.

25 There is the sea, great and wide, in which are innumerable swarms, living creatures, both small and large beasts.

26 There the ships go, and Lu’yathan, whom You formed to play there.

27 These all wait for You, that You may give them their food in due season.

28 You give to them, they gather. You open Your hand, they are satisfied with good.

29 You hide Your face: they are alarmed, You take away their breath: they die, and return to the dust.

30 You send forth Your RUKH: they are created, and You renew the face of the ground.

31 The esteem of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) endures forever. 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), He will rejoice in His works.

32 Looking at the earth, and it trembles. He touches the mountains, and they smoke.

33 I will sing to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) in my khaYah (life). I will sing praise to MY ALUAH while I have my being.

34 My meditation is sweet to Him. I will rejoice in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH).

35 Let transgressors be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Barak 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), O my being! Praise 𐤉𐤄 (YAH)!

CHAPTER 105

1 Give thanks to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH)! Call on His Name! Make His deeds known among the peoples.

2 Sing to Him, sing praises to Him! Tell of all His wonders.

3 esteem in His Made Apart Name. Let the heart of those who seek 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) rejoice.

4 Seek 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) and His strength. Seek His face forever more.

5 Remember His wonders that He has done, His wonders, and the right rulings of His mouth,

6 O seed of Abara'ahm, His servant, O children of Ya'aqab, His chosen ones.

7 He is 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) Our ALUAH. His right rulings are in all the earth.

8 He has remembered His Bar’yath (covenant) forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,

9 The Bar’yath (covenant) that He made with Abara'ahm, His oath to Ya’sha’khaq*,

*Here, the Masoretic uses the shan for his name instead of the tsad

**This also occurs in Amus 7:9, Amus 7:16, YaramYahu 33:26

10 and confirmed the same to Ya'aqab for a statute, to Yashar'AL for an everlasting Bar’yath (covenant),

11 saying, "To you I will give the land of Kanan, the lot of your inheritance,"

12 when they were but a few men in number, few indeed, and foreigners in it.

13 And they went about from nation to nation, from one reign to another people.

14 He allowed no one to oppress them, and He reproved sovereigns for their sakes,

15 “You do not touch My anointed ones! And you do not harm My nab’ya’ya (prophets)!"

16 And He called for a famine on the land. He destroyed the food supplies.

17 He sent a man before them. Yahu'sap was sold for a slave.

18 They bruised his feet with shackles. His neck was locked in irons,

19 until the time that his word happened, and the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) proved him true.

20 The sovereign sent and released him, even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.

21 He made him sovereign of his house, and ruler of all of his possessions,

22 to discipline his princes at his pleasure, and to teach his elders discernment.

23 Yashar'AL also came into Ma’tsara’ym. Ya'aqab sojourned in the land of Kham.

24 And He increased His people greatly, and made them stronger than their adversaries.

25 He turned their heart to hate His people, to conspire against His servants.

26 He sent Mashah, his servant, A'haran, whom He had chosen.

27 They performed words among them, His signs and wonders in the land of Kham.

28 He sent darkness, and made it dark. They did not rebel against His word.

29 He turned their waters into blood, and killed their fish.

30 Their land swarmed with frogs, even in the rooms of their sovereigns.

31 He spoke, and swarms of flies came, and lice in all their borders.

32 He gave them hail for rain, with lightning in their land.

33 And He struck their vines and also their fig trees, and shattered the trees of their territory.

34 He spoke, and the locusts came, and the grasshoppers, without number,

35 And they devoured every plant in their land, and ate up the fruit of their ground.

36 He struck also all the firstborn in their land, the first fruits of all their manhood.

37 And He brought them forth with silver and gold. There was not one feeble person among his tribes.

38 Ma’tsara’ym was glad when they departed, for the fear of them had fallen on them.

39 He spread a cloud for a covering, fire to give light in the night.

40 They asked, and He brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of the sky.

41 He opened the rock, and waters gushed out. They ran as a river in the dry places.

42 For He remembered His Made Apart word, and Abara'ahm, His servant.

43 He brought forth His people with joy, His chosen with singing.

44 And He gave them the lands of the nations, and they took the labor of the peoples in possession,

45 that they might keep His statutes, and observe His laws. PRAISE 𐤉𐤄 (YAH)!

CHAPTER 106

1 Praise 𐤉𐤄 (YAH)! Give thanks to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), for He is good, for His loving kindness endures forever.

2 Who can utter the mighty acts of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), or fully declare all His praise?

3 Joyful are those who keep right ruling, doing what is right at all times.

4 Remember me, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), with the favor that You show to Your people. Visit me with Your rescuing,

5 that I may see the good of Your chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of Your nation, that I may boast with Your inheritance.

6 We have transgressed with our fathers. We have committed iniquity. We have done wickedly.

7 Our fathers did not understand Your wonders in Ma’tsara’ym. They did not remember the multitude of Your loving kindnesses, but were rebellious at the sea, even at the sea of reeds.

8 Nevertheless He saved them for His Name's sake, that He might make His mighty power known.

9 And He rebuked the sea of reeds also, and it was dried up, so He led them through the depths, as through a desert.

10 And He saved them from the hand of him who hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

11 And the waters covered their adversaries. There was not one of them left.

12 Then they trusted His words. They sang His praise.

13 They soon forgot His works. They did not wait for His counsel,

14 but gave in to craving in the wilderness, and tested AL in the desert.

15 And He gave them their request, but sent leanness into their being.

16 And they envied Mashah also in the camp, and A'haran, the made apart one of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH).

17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Ab’yaram.

18 And a fire was kindled in their company. A flame burned up the wicked.

19 They made a calf in Kharab, and worshiped a molten image.

20 Thus they exchanged their esteem for an image of a bull that eats grass.

21 They forgot AL Their Savior, who had done great in Ma’tsara’ym,

22 Wonders in the land of Kham, and awesomes by the sea of reeds.

23 Therefore He said that He would destroy them, had Mashah, His chosen, not stood before Him in the breach, to turn away His wrath, so that He would not destroy them.

24 Then they despised the pleasant land. They did not trust His word,

25 but murmured in their tents, and did not listen to the voice of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH).

26 Therefore He lifted His hand against them, to make them fall in the wilderness,

27 And to make their seed fall among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.

28 And they joined themselves also to Ba’al Pa’ur, and ate the slaughterings of the dead.

29 Thus they provoked Him to anger with their deeds, and the plague broke out on them.

30 Then Payana’khas stood up, and executed right ruling, so the plague was stopped.

31 And that was reckoned to him for righteousness, for all generations to come.

32 And they angered Him also at the waters of Mara’yabah, so that Mashah was troubled for their sakes,

33 because they were rebellious against his rukh, he spoke rashly with his lips.

34 They did not destroy the peoples, as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) commanded them,

35 but mixed themselves with the nations and learned their works.

36 And they served their idols, which became a snare to them.

37 And they slaughtered their sons and their daughters to demons.

38 And they shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they offered to the idols of Kanan. And the land was polluted with blood.

39 Thus were they defiled with their works, and whored themselves in their deeds.

40 Therefore 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) burned with anger against His people, and He despised His inheritance.

41 And He gave them into the hand of the nations, and those who hated them ruled over them.

42 And their enemies oppressed them, and they were subdued under their hand.

43 Many times He rescued them, but they were rebellious in their counsel, and were brought low in their iniquity.

44 And He regarded their distress, when He heard their cry.

45 And He will remember for them His Bar’yath (covenant), and He will relent according to the multitude of His loving kindnesses.

46 And He will give them for compassions, before faces of all who took them captive.

47 Save us, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) Our ALUAH! And gather us from among the nations, to give thanks to Your Made Apart Name, to exalt in Your praise!

48 Baruk be 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), The ALUAH OF Yashar'AL, from everlasting even to everlasting! Let all the people say, “So Be It!” PRAISE 𐤉𐤄 (YAH)!

CHAPTER 107

1 Give thanks to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), for He is good, for His loving kindness endures forever.

2 Let the redeemed of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) say so, whom He has redeemed from the hand of the adversary,

3 And gathered out of the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.

4 They wandered in a wilderness, in a desert way. They found no city to abide in.

5 Hungry and thirsty, their being fainted in them.

6 Then they cried to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) in their trouble, and He rescued them out of their distresses

7 And He led them also by a straight way, that they might go to a city to abide in.

8 Let them give thanks to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) for His loving kindness, for His wonders to the children of men!

9 For He satisfies the longing being, and He fills the hungry being with good.

10 Those who sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron,

11 because they rebelled against the words of AL, and condemned the counsel of the Most High.

12 Therefore He brought down their heart with labor. They fell down, and there was none to help.

13 Then they cried to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) in their trouble, and He saved them out of their distresses.

14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke their bonds in sunder.

15 Let them give thanks to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) for His loving kindness, for His wonders to the children of men!

16 For He has broken the gates of bronze, and He cut through bars of iron.

17 Fools are afflicted because of their disobedience, and because of their iniquities.

18 Their being abhors all kinds of food. They draw near to the gates of death.

19 Then they cry to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) in their trouble, He saves them out of their distresses.

20 He sends His word and heals them, and rescues them from their graves.

21 Let them give thanks to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) for His loving kindness, for His wonders to the children of men!

22 And let them offer the slaughterings of thanksgiving, and declare His works with rejoicing.

23 Those who go down to the sea in ships, who do work in great waters,

24 These see the works of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), and His wonders in the deep.

25 For He commands and raises the stormy wind, which lifts up its waves.

26 They mount up to the sky, they go down again to the depths. Their being melts away because of trouble.

27 They reel back and forth, and stagger like a drunken man, and all their discernment is devoured.

28 Then they cry to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) in their trouble, and He brings them out of their distress.

29 He makes the storm to calm, so that its waves are still.

30 Then they are glad because it calms, so He brings them to their desired haven.

31 Let them give thanks to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) for His loving kindness, for His wonders for the children of men!

32 And let them exalt Him also in the assembly of the people, and praise Him in the seat of the elders.

33 He turns rivers into a wilderness, and water springs into a thirsty ground,

34 A fruitful land into a salt waste, for the wickedness of those who dwell in it.

35 He turns a wilderness into a pool of water, and a dry land into water springs.

36 There He makes the hungry abide, that they may prepare a city to abide in,

37 And they sow fields, plant vineyards, and they reap the fruits of increase.

38 And He Barak them, so that they are multiplied greatly, and He does not allow their livestock to decrease.

39 And they are diminished, and they are bowed down from oppression, trouble, and sorrow.

40 He pours contempt on princes, and causes them to wander in a waste: no way.

41 Yet He lifts the needy out of their affliction, and increases their families like a flock.

42 The upright will see it, and rejoice. And all the wicked will shut their mouths.

43 Who is discerned? And he will observe these. And they will understand the loving kindnesses of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH).

CHAPTER 108

1 A Song, A Psalm for Dau'yad: My heart is established, O ALUAH. I will sing and I will make music, even with my esteem.

2 Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awake the dawn.

3 I will give thanks to You, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), among the nations. I will sing praises to You among the peoples.

4 For Your loving kindness is great above the shama'ym. Your trustworthiness reaches to the skies.

5 Be exalted, O ALUAH, above the shama'ym! Let Your esteem be over all the earth.

6 That Your beloved may be rescued, save with Your right hand and answer us.

7 ALUAH has spoken from His Made Apart Place: "I exalt, I will divide Shakam, and measure out the valley of Sakuth (Sak’ooth).

8 To Me is Gal’ad. To Me is Mana’shah. And Apara’ym is My chief stronghold. Yahudah is My lawgiver.

9 Mu’ab is my wash pot. I will toss My sandal on Adum. I will shout over Palash’tha.”

10 Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who has led me to Adum?

11 Have you not rejected us, O ALUAH? And You do not go forth, ALUAH, with our armies.

12 Give to us help from the adversary, for the help of man is vain.

13 IN ALUAH we will act mightily. For it is He who will tread down our enemies.

CHAPTER 109

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm for Dau'yad: O ALUAH of my praise, do not remain silent,

2 for they have opened the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit against me. They have spoken to me with a lying tongue.

3 They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, and fought against me without a cause.

4 In return for my love, they are my adversaries, but I am praying.

5 And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.

6 Appoint a wicked man over him, and let an accuser stand at his right hand.

7 When he is judged, let him come forth guilty. Let his prayer be turned into transgression.

8 Let his days be few. Let another take his office.

9 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.

10 And let his children be wandering beggars, and let them be sought from their ruins.

11 Let the creditor seize all that he has, and let strangers plunder the fruit of his labor.

12 Let there be none to extend kindness to him, neither let there be any to show favor on his fatherless children.

13 Let his posterity be cut off. In the generation following let their name be blotted out.

14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered by 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), and do not let the transgression of his mother be blotted out.

15 Let them be before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) continually, that He may cut off the memory of them from the earth,

16 because he did not remember to show kindness, but persecuted the poor and needy man, the broken in heart, to kill them.

17 And he loved cursing, and it came to him. He did not delight in Barakah, and it was far from him.

18 And he clothed himself with cursing as with his garment. It came into his inward parts like water, like oil into his bones.

19 Let it be to him as the clothing with which he covers himself, for the belt that is always around him.

20 This is the reward of my adversaries from 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), and of those who speak evil against my being.

21 But You, O Sovereign 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), act for Your Name's sake, because Your loving kindness is good, rescue me,

22 for I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.

23 I fade away like an evening shadow. I am shaken off like a locust.

24 My knees are weak through fasting, and my flesh grows lean from fatness.

25 And I, I have become a reproach to them. When they see me, they shake their head.

26 Help me, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) MY ALUAH! Save me according to Your loving kindness,

27 And that they may know that this is Your hand, that You, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), have done it.

28 They may curse, but You will Barak. When they arise, they will be shamed, but Your servant shall rejoice.

29 Let my accusers put on reproach. Let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.

30 I will give great thanks to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) with my mouth. And I will praise Him among the multitude.

31 For He will stand at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those who judge his being.

CHAPTER 110

1 A Psalm for Dau'yad: 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) says to My Sovereign, "Sit at My right hand, until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet."

2 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) will send forth the rod of your strength out of Tsa'yun. Rule in the midst of Your enemies!

3 Your people offer themselves willingly in the day of Your power, in Made Apart beauties. Out of the womb of the rising, You have the dew of Your youth.

4 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) has sworn, and will not change His mind: "You are a ka’ahn (priest) forever in the order of Malak’ya Tsadaq.”

5 The Sovereign is at Your right hand. He will crush kings in the day of His wrath.

6 He will judge among the nations. He will heap up dead bodies. He will crush the ruler of the whole earth.

7 He will drink of the brook in the way, therefore He will lift up the head.

4 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) is high above all nations, his esteem above the shama'ym.

5 Who is like 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), Our ALUAH, who sits on high,

6 Who stoops down to see in shama'ym and in the earth?

7 He raises up the poor out of the dust, lifts up the needy from the ash heap,

8 that He may place him with nobles, even with the nobles of His people.

9 He settles a barren woman [in] the home, as a joyful mother of children. Praise 𐤉𐤄 (YAH)!

CHAPTER 114

1 When Yashar'AL went forth out of Ma’tsara’ym, the house of Ya'aqab from a people of foreign language,

2 Yahudah became His Made Apart Place, and Yashar'AL His rule.

3 The sea saw it and fled. The Yardan was driven back.

4 The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like lambs.

5 What was it, O sea, that you fled? O Yardan, that you turned back?

6 O mountains, that you skipped like rams? O little hills, like lambs?

7 Tremble, O earth, from the face of the sovereign, from the face of the ALUAH of Ya'aqab,

8 Who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.

CHAPTER 115

1 Not unto us, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), not unto us, but unto Your Name give esteem, for Your loving kindness, and for Your truth.

2 Why should the nations say, "Where is their ALUAH now?"

3 But Our ALUAH is in the shama'ym. He does whatever He pleases.

4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

5 They have mouths, but they speak not. They have eyes, but they see not.

6 They have ears, but they hear not. They have noses, but they smell not.

7 They have hands, but they feel not. They have feet, but they walk not, neither do they speak through their throat.

8 Those who make them will be like them, everyone who trusts in them.

9 O Yashar'AL, trust in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH)! He is their help and their shield.

10 O House of A'haran, trust in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH)! He is their help and their shield.

13 He will Barak those who fear 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), the small and the great.

14 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) increase you more and more, you and your children.

15 Baruk’ym are you by 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), who made shama'ym and earth.

16 The shama'ym are the shama'ym for 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), but the earth has He given to the children of men.

17 The dead praise not 𐤉𐤄 (YAH), neither any who go down into silence,

18 But we will Barak 𐤉𐤄 (YAH), from this time forth and forevermore. Praise 𐤉𐤄 (YAH)!

CHAPTER 116

1 I love 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), because He hears my voice, and my pleas.

2 Because He has turned His ear to me, and in my day I will call.

3 The cords of death surrounded me, and the pains of Sha'ul got a hold of me. I found distress and sorrow.

4 Then I called in The Name OF 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH): “Please 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), rescue my being!”

5 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) is favorful and righteous. And Our ALUAH is compassionate.

6 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) guards the simple. I was brought low, and He saved me.

7 Return to your rest, O my being, for 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) has dealt bountifully with you.

8 For You have rescued my being from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.

9 I will walk before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) in the land of the living.

10 I trusted, therefore I said, "I was greatly afflicted."

11 I said in my haste, "All men are liars."

12 What will I give to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) for all His recompense toward me?

13 I will take the cup of saving, and I will call in The Name OF 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH).

14 I will pay my vows to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), now, before all His people.

15 Precious in the sight of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) is the death of His kind ones.

16 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), truly I am Your servant. I am Your servant, son of Your handmaid. You have freed me from my chains.

17 I will offer to You a slaughtering of thanksgiving, and will call in The Name OF 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH).

18 I will pay my vows to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), now, before all His people,

19 In the courts of the house of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), in your midst, O Yaru'shalam. Praise 𐤉𐤄 (YAH)!

CHAPTER 117

1 Praise 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), all you nations! Extol Him, all you peoples!

2 For His loving kindness is great toward us, and truth of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) is to forever. Praise 𐤉𐤄 (YAH)!

CHAPTER 118

1 Give thanks to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), for He is good, for His loving kindness is to forever.

2 Let Yashar'AL now say that His loving kindness is to forever.

3 Let the house of A'haran now say that His loving kindness is to forever.

4 Now let those who fear 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) say that His loving kindness is to forever.

5 Out of my distress, I called on 𐤉𐤄 (YAH). 𐤉𐤄 (YAH) answered me in a broad place.

6 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) is on my side. I will not be afraid. What does man do to me?

7 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) is on my side among those who help me. Therefore I will look at those who hate me.

8 It is better to take refuge in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), than to put trust in man.

9 It is better to take refuge in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), than to put trust in princes.

10 All nations surrounded me, IN The Name OF 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), surely I will cut them off.

11 They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me. IN The Name OF 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) I indeed cut them off.

12 They surrounded me like bees. They are quenched like the burning thorns. IN The Name OF 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) I cut them off.

13 Thrusting, you pushed me to fall, but 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) helped me.

14 𐤉𐤄 (YAH) is my strength and song, and He has become my rescue.

15 The voice of rejoicing and saving is in the tents of the righteous. "The right hand of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) does valiantly.

16 The right hand of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) is exalted! The right hand of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) acts mightily!"

17 I will not die, but I will khaYah (live) and declare the works of 𐤉𐤄 (YAH).

18 𐤉𐤄 (YAH) has punished me severely, but He has not given me over to death.

19 Open to me the gates of righteousness. I will enter into them. I will give thanks to 𐤉𐤄 (YAH).

20 This is the gate of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), the righteous will enter into it.

21 I will give thanks to You, for You have answered me, and have become my rescue.

22 The stone the builders rejected has become of the head cornerstone.

23 This is of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH). It is marvelous in our eyes.

24 This is the day that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it!

25 Save us now, please, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH)! 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), please send prosperity now.

26 Baruk is he who comes IN The Name OF 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH)! We have Barak you out of the house of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH).

27 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) IS AL, and He has given us light. Bind the offering with cords, even to the horns of the altar.

28 You Are MY AL, and I will give thanks to You. You are my ALUAH, I will exalt you.

29 Give thanks to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), for He is good, for His loving kindness is to forever.

CHAPTER 120

1 Song of the Ascents: In my distress I cried to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), and He answered me.

2 Rescue my being O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.

3 What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you, O deceitful tongue?

4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

5 Woe to me, that I sojourn at Mashak, that I reside among the tents of Qadar!

6 My being has had her dwelling too long with one who hates shalum (peace).

7 I am shalum (peace), but when I speak, they are for war.

CHAPTER 121

1 Song for Ascents: I will lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?

2 My help comes from 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), who made shama'ym and earth.

3 He will not allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber.

4 Behold, He who keeps Yashar'AL will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) is your guard. 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) is your shade at your right hand.

6 The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.

7 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) will guard you from all evil. He will guard your being.

8 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) will guard your going out and your coming in, from this time forth, and forevermore.

CHAPTER 122

1 Song of the Ascents. For Dau'yad: I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go to the house of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH)!"

2 Our feet are standing within your gates, Yaru'shalam,

3 Yaru'shalam is built as a city that is joined together,

4 Where the tribes go up, even tribes of 𐤉𐤄 (YAH), according to an ordinance for Yashar'AL, to give thanks to The Name OF 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH).

5 For there are placed thrones for judgment, the thrones of Dau'yad's house.

6 Pray for the shalum (peace) of Yaru'shalam. Those who love you will be secured.

7 Shalum (Peace) be within your walls, and tranquility within your palaces.

8 For my brothers' and companions' sakes, I will now say, “Shalum (Peace) within you."

9 For the sake of the house of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) Our ALUAH, I will seek your good.

CHAPTER 123

1 Song of the Ascents: Unto You I lift up my eyes, You who sit in the shama'ym.

2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their sovereign, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) Our ALUAH, until He shows favor on us.

3 Show favor on us, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), show favor on us, for we are filled with much scorn.

4 Our being is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease, with the contempt of the proud.

CHAPTER 124

1 Song of the Ascents. For Dau'yad: If it had not been 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) who was on our side, let Yashar'AL now say,

2 if it had not been 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) who was on our side, when men rose up against us,

3 then they would have swallowed us up khaYah’ym (living), when their wrath was kindled against us,

4 then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our being,

5 then the proud waters would have gone over our being.

6 Baruk be 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.

7 Our being has escaped like a bird out of the fowler's snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.

8 Our help is in The Name OF 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), who made shama'ym and earth.

CHAPTER 125

1 Song of the Ascents: Those who trust in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) are as Mount Tsa'yun, which cannot be shaken, but remains forever.

2 As the mountains surround Yaru'shalam, so 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) surrounds His people from this time forth and forevermore.

3 For the scepter of wickedness will not remain over the allotment of the righteous, so that the righteous will not stretch out their hands to do evil.

4 Do good, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), to those who are good, and to those who are upright in their hearts.

5 But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Shalum (Peace) be on Yashar'AL.

CHAPTER 126

1 Song of the Ascents: When 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) brings back those who returned to Tsa'yun, we are like those who dream.

2 Then our mouth is filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they say among the nations, "𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) has done the great for them."

3 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) will do the great for us, and we are glad.

4 Turn back our captivity, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), like the streams in the South.

5 Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.

6 He who goes out weeping, bearing seed for sowing, will certainly come again with joy, bearing his sheaves.

CHAPTER 127

1 Song of the Ascents. For Shalamah: Unless 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) builds the house, they labor in vain who build it. Unless 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) watches over the city, the watchman guards in vain.

2 Vanity for you to rise up early, to stay up late, eating the bread of toil, for He gives sleep to His loved ones.

3 Behold, children are a inheritance of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH). The fruit of the womb is a reward.

4 As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the children of youth.

5 Glad is the man who has his quiver full of them. They will not be disappointed when they speak with their enemies in the gate.

CHAPTER 128

1 Song of the Ascents: Joyful is everyone who fears 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), who walks in His ways.

2 For you will eat the labor of your hands. You will be joyful, and it will be well with you.

3 Your wife will be as a fruitful vine, in the innermost parts of your house, your children like olive plants, around your table.

4 Behold, thus is the man Barak who fears 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH).

5 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) Barak you out of Tsa'yun, and let you see the good of Yaru'shalam all the days of your khaYah (life).

6 And let you see your children's children. Shalum (Peace) be upon Yashar'AL.

CHAPTER 129

1 Song of the Ascents: Often they have afflicted me from my youth. Let Yashar'AL now say,

2 often they have afflicted me from my youth, yet they have not prevailed against me.

3 The plowers plowed on my back. They made their furrows long.

4 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) is righteous. He has cut the cords of the wicked.

5 Let them be ashamed and turned back, all those who hate Tsa'yun.

6 Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up,

7 with which the reaper does not fill his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.

8 Neither do those who go by say, “Barakath of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) be on you. We Barak you in The Name OF 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH)."

CHAPTER 130

1 Song of the Ascents: Out of the depths I have cried to You, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH).

2 O Sovereign, hear my voice! Let Your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.

3 If You, O 𐤉𐤄 (YAH), marked iniquities, O Sovereign, who could stand?

4 But there is forgiveness with You, therefore You are feared.

5 I wait for 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH). My being waits, and I expect in His Word.

6 My being longs for The Sovereign more than watchmen for the rising, watchmen for the rising.

7 O Yashar'AL, expect in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), for with 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) there is loving kindness. With Him is abundant redemption.

8 He will redeem Yashar'AL from all his iniquities.

CHAPTER 131

1 Song of the Ascents. For Dau'yad: O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), my heart is not proud, nor my eyes lofty, nor do I concern myself with great matters too wonderful for me.

2 Surely I have stilled and quieted my being, like one weaned with his mother, like one weaned is my being within me.

3 O Yashar'AL, wait for 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), from now and until forever.

CHAPTER 132

1 Song of the Ascents: O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), remember Dau'yad and all his affliction,

2 how he swore to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), and vowed to the Mighty One of Ya'aqab:

3 "Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, nor go up into my bed,

4 I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids,

5 until I find out a place for 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), tabernacles for the Mighty One of Ya'aqab."

6 Behold, we heard of it in Apar’thah. We found it in the field of the forest:

7 "We will go into His tabernacle. We will bow down at His footstool.

8 Arise, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), into Your resting place, You and the Ark of Your strength.

9 Let Your ka’ahn’yak (priests) put on righteousness, and Your kind ones shout for joy!"

10 For Your servant Dau'yad's sake, do not turn away the face of Your anointed one.

11 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) has sworn to Dau'yad in truth. He will not turn from it: "I will place the fruit of your body on your throne.

12 If your sons will keep My Bar’yath (covenant), and My witnesses that I will teach them, their sons also will sit on your throne forevermore."

13 For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) has chosen Tsa'yun. He has desired for His habitation.

14 "This is My resting place forever. Here I will abide forever, for I have desired it.

15 I will abundantly Barak her provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread.

16 And her ka’ahn’Yah (priests) I will also clothe with saving. Her kind ones will shout aloud for joy.

17 There I will make the horn of Dau'yad to bud. I have ordained a lamp for My Anointed.

18 I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on himself, his crown will blossom.”

CHAPTER 133

1 Song of the Ascents. For Dau'yad: See how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to abide together in unity!

2 Like the precious oil on the head, that ran down on the beard, even A'haran's beard, that came down on the edge of his robes,

3 like the dew of Khar’mun (Khar’moon), that comes down on the mountains of Tsa'yun: For there 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) gives the Barakah, even kha’Yah’ym (life) forevermore.

CHAPTER 134

1 Song of the Ascents: Look! Praise 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), all you servants of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), who stand by night in the house of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH)!

2 Lift up your hands in the Made Apart Place, and Barak 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH)!

3 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) Barak you from Tsa'yun who made shama'ym and earth.

CHAPTER 135

1 Praise 𐤉𐤄 (YAH)! Praise The Name OF 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH)! Praise, servants of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH),

2 who stand in the house of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), in the courts of the house of our ALUAH.

3 Praise 𐤉𐤄 (YAH)! For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) is good. Sing praises to His Name, for it is pleasant.

4 For 𐤉𐤄 (YAH) has chosen Ya'aqab for Himself, Yashar'AL for His own possession.

5 For I know that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) is great, that our Sovereign is above all mighty ones.

6 All that pleases 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) He does, in shama'ym and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps,

7 Who causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth, who makes lightnings with the rain, who brings forth the wind out of His treasuries,

8 Who struck the firstborn of Ma’tsara’ym, from man and beast,

9 Who sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, Ma’tsara’ym, on Para'ah, and on all his servants,

10 Who struck many nations, and slew mighty sovereigns,

11 To Saya'khun sovereign of the Amar'ya, and to A’uga (Uh’oo’ga) sovereign of Bashan, and all the reigns of Kanan,

12 and gave their land for an inheritance, an inheritance to Yashar'AL, His people.

13 Your Name, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), is to forever, Your remembrance, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), to generation and generation.

14 For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) will rightly rule His people, and have compassion on His servants.

15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

16 They have mouths, but they speak not. They have eyes, but they see not.

17 They have ears, but they hear not, neither is there any breath in their mouths.

18 Those who make them will be like them, yes, all who trusts in them.

19 O House of Yashar'AL, Barak 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH)! O House of A'haran, Barak 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH)!

20 O The House of Lu’ya (Loo’ya), Barak 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH)! You who fear 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), Barak 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH)!

21 Baruk be 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) from Tsa'yun, Who dwells at Yaru'shalam. Praise 𐤉𐤄 (YAH)!

CHAPTER 136

1 Give thanks to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), for He is good, for His loving kindness is to forever.

2 Give thanks to the ALUAH of the mighty ones, for His loving kindness is to forever.

3 Give thanks to the Sovereign of the sovereigns, for His loving kindness is to forever:

4 To Him who alone does great wonders, for His loving kindness is to forever:

5 To Him who by understanding made the shama'ym, for His loving kindness is to forever:

6 To Him who spread out the earth above the waters, for His loving kindness is to forever:

7 To Him who made great lights, for His loving kindness is to forever:

8 The sun to rule by day, for His loving kindness is to forever,

9 The moon and stars to rule by night, for His loving kindness is to forever:

10 To Him who struck Ma’tsara’ym in their firstborn, for His loving kindness is to forever,

11 And brought out Yashar'AL from their midst, for His loving kindness is to forever,

12 With a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm, for His loving kindness is to forever:

13 To Him who divided the sea of reeds apart, for His loving kindness is to forever,

14 And made Yashar'AL to pass through its midst, for His loving kindness is to forever,

15 But overthrew Para'ah and his army in the sea of reeds, for His loving kindness is to forever:

16 To Him who led His people through the wilderness, for His loving kindness is to forever:

17 To Him who struck great sovereigns, for His loving kindness is to forever,

18 And slew mighty sovereigns, for His loving kindness is to forever:

19 Saya'khun sovereign of the Amar'ya, for His loving kindness is to forever,

20 A’uga sovereign of Bashan, for His loving kindness is to forever,

21 And gave their land as an inheritance, for His loving kindness is to forever,

22 Even an inheritance to Yashar'AL His servant, for His loving kindness is to forever:

23 Who remembered us in our humiliation, for His loving kindness is to forever,

24 And has rescued us from our adversaries, for His loving kindness is to forever:

25 Who gives food to all flesh, for His loving kindness is to forever.

26 O give thanks to AL of the shama'ym, for His loving kindness is to forever.

CHAPTER 137

1 By the rivers of Babal, there we sat down. We also wept when we remembered Tsa'yun.

2 On the willows in its midst, we hung up our harps.

3 For there, those who led us captive asked us for songs. Those who tormented us demanded songs of joy: "Sing us one of the songs of Tsa'yun!"

4 How can we sing the song of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) on foreign ground?

5 If I forget you, O Yaru'shalam, let my right hand forget.

6 Let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth if I don't remember you, if I don't prefer Yaru'shalam above my chief joy.

7 Remember, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), against the children of Adum, the day of Yaru'shalam, who said, “Expose it! Expose it even to its foundation!"

8 O Daughter of Babal, doomed to destruction, he will be glad who rewards you, as you have recompensed us.

9 Glad shall he be, who takes and dashes your little ones against the rock.

CHAPTER 138

1 For Dau'yad: I will give You thanks with my whole heart. Before the mighty ones, I will sing praises to You.

2 I will bow down toward your Made Apart Hayakal and give thanks to Your Name, for Your loving kindness and for Your truth, for You have exalted Your Name and Your Word above all.

3 In the day I called You answered me. You encouraged me with strength in my being.

4 All the sovereigns of the earth will give You thanks, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), for they heard the Words of Your mouth.

5 And they will sing of the ways of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), for great is the esteem of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH).

6 Although 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) is high, yet He looks after the lowly, but the proud, He knows from afar.

7 Though I walk in the midst of distress, You will revive me. You will stretch forth Your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will save me.

8 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) will fulfill that which concerns me, Your loving kindness, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), is to forever. Do not forsake the works of Your own hands.

CHAPTER 139

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm for Dau'yad: O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), You have searched me, and You know me.

2 You know my sitting down and my rising up. You perceive my thoughts* from afar.

*The literal translation is: for my friend

3 You search out my path and my lying down, and are familiar with all my ways.

4 For there is not a word on my tongue, but behold, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), You know all.

5 You hem me in behind and before, and You laid Your hand upon me.

6 Knowledge too wondrous for me, it is high. I am unable to endure it.

7 Where could I go from Your RUKH? Or where could I flee from Your face?

8 If I ascend up into shama'ym, You are there. If I make my bed in Sha'ul, behold, You are there!

9 If I take the wings of the dawn, and settle in the uttermost parts of the sea,

10 Even there Your hand, You will lead me, and Your right hand, You will hold me.

11 If I say, "Surely the darkness will overwhelm me, the light around me will be night,"

12 even the darkness does not hide from You, but the night shines as the day. The darkness is like light.

13 For You formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother's womb.

14 I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful, and my being knows very well.

15 My frame was not hidden from you, when I was made in secret, woven together in the depths of the earth.

16 Your eyes saw my body. In Your book they were all written, the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there were none of them.

17 And how precious are your thoughts to me, O AL! How great is the sum of them!

18 If I would count them, they are more than the sand. When I wake up, I am still with You.

19 If only You O ALUAH would slay the wicked. Depart from me, men of bloodshed!

20 For they speak against You wickedly. Your enemies take for vanity.

21 O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), do I not hate those who hate You? And do I not loathe those who rise up against You?

22 I hate them with complete hatred. They have become my enemies.

23 Search me, O AL, and know my heart. Try me and know my thoughts.

24 See if there is any hurtful way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way.

CHAPTER 140

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm for Dau'yad: Rescue me, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), from evil men. Preserve me from violent men,

2 Those who devise evils in their hearts. They continually gather themselves together for war.

3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. Viper's poison is under their lips. Salah.

4 O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), guard me from the hands of the wicked. Preserve me from the violent men who have determined to trip my steps.

5 The proud have hidden a snare for me, they have spread the cords of a net by the path. They have placed traps for me. Salah.

6 I said to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), "You Are My AL." HeArken to the cry of my supplications, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH).

7 O Sovereign 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), the strength of my rescue, You have covered my head in the day of battle.

8 O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), do not grant the desires of the wicked. Do not further his scheme, [or] they are exalted. Salah.

9 As for the head of those who surround me, let the trouble of their lips cover them.

10 Let burning coals fall on them. Let them be thrown into the fire, into miry pits, from where they never rise.

11 A man’s lips* will not be established in the earth. Evil will hunt the violent man to overthrow.

*Some translations will say slanderer. This is the literal translation above

12 I know that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and right ruling of the needy.

13 Surely the righteous will give thanks to Your Name. The upright will abide in Your countenance.

CHAPTER 141

1 A Psalm for Dau'yad: O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), I have called on You. Come to me quickly! Give ear to my voice when I call to You.

2 Let my prayer be placed before you like incense, the lifting up of my hands like the evening offering.

3 Place a guard, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), before my mouth. Keep the door of my lips.

4 Incline not my heart to evil matter, to practice deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity. Do not let me eat of their delicacies.

5 Let the righteous strike me, it is kindness, let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head, do not let my head refuse it. Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds.

6 Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock. They will hear my words, for they are pleasant.

7 "As when one plows and breaks up the earth, our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sha'ul."

8 For my eyes are on You, O Sovereign 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH). In you, I take refuge. Do not leave my being epty.

9 Guard me from the snare which they have laid for me, from the traps of the workers of iniquity.

10 Let the wicked fall together into their own nets, while I pass by.  

CHAPTER 142

1 A contemplation for Dau'yad, when he was in the cave. A Prayer: I cry with my voice to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH). With my voice, I plead favor of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH).

2 I pour out my complaint before Him. I declare to Him my distresss.

3 When my rukh was overwhelmed within me, You knew my path. In the way in which I walk, they have hidden a snare for me.

4 Look on my right and see, for there is no one who is concerned for me. Refuge has fled from me. No one inquires for my being.

5 I cried to You, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH). I said, "You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living."

6 Listen to my cry, for I am in desperate need. Rescue me from my persecutors, for they are stronger than me.

7 Bring my being out of prison, that I may give thanks to Your Name. The righteous will surround me, for You will recompense me.

CHAPTER 143

1 A Psalm for Dau'yad: Hear my prayer, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH). Give ear to my supplications. In Your trustworthiness and righteousness, answer me.

2 Do not enter into judgment with Your servant, for in Your face no man living is righteous.

3 For the enemy pursues my being. He has struck my khaYah (life) down to the ground. He has made me dwell in dark places, as those who have been long dead.

4 Therefore my rukh is overwhelmed within me. My heart within me is desolate.

5 I remember the days of old. I meditate on all Your doings. I contemplate the work of Your hands.

6 I spread forth my hands to You. My being thirsts for You, like a parched land. Salah.

7 Hasten to answer me, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), my rukh fails! Do not hide your face from me, so that I do not become like those who go down into the pit.

8 Cause me to hear Your loving kindness in the rising, for I trust in You. Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my being to You.

9 Rescue me, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), from my enemies. I take refuge in You.

10 Teach me to do Your will, for You are my ALUAH, YOUR RUKH is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness.

11 Revive me, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), For Your Name's Sake. In Your righteousness, bring my being out of distress.

12 In Your loving kindness, cut off my enemies, and destroy all those who afflict my being, for I am Your servant.

CHAPTER 144

1 For Dau'yad: Baruk be 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) My Rock, who teaches my hands to war, and my fingers for battle:

2 My loving kindness, my fortress, my high tower, my rescuer, my shield, and He in whom I take refuge, who subdues my people under me.

3 O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), what is man, that You know him? Or son of man, that you think of him?

4 Man is like a breath. His days are like a shadow that passes away.

5 Spread Your shama'ym, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), and come down. Touch the mountains, and they will smoke.

6 Throw out lightning and scatter them. Send out Your arrows and rout them.

7Stretch out Your hand from above, rescue me, and save me out of great waters, out of the hands of foreigners,

8 whose mouths speak deceit, whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

9 I will sing a new song to You, O ALUAH. On a ten-stringed lyre, I will sing praises to You.

10 You who gives rescuing to sovereigns, who rescues Dau'yad, his servant, from the deadly sword.

11 Rescue me, and save me out of the hands of foreigners, whose mouths speak deceit, whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

12 Then our sons will be like plants, our daughters like pillars carved to adorn a palace.

13 Our barns are full, filled with all kinds of provision. Our sheep bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields.

14 Our oxen will pull heavy loads. There is no breaking in, and no going away, and no outcry in our streets.

15 Joyful are the people who have thus. Joyful are the people whose ALUAH IS 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH)!

CHAPTER 145

1 A song of praise for Dau'yad:

𐤀

I will exalt You, MY ALUAH, The Sovereign. I will praise Your Name forever and ever.

𐤁

2 All day* I will praise You. I will extol Your Name forever and ever.

*Can also be translated as in all day

𐤂

3 Great is 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), and greatly to be praised! His greatness is unsearchable.

𐤃

10 All Your works will give thanks to You, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH). Your kind ones will extol You.

𐤊

11 They will speak of the esteem of Your kingdom, and talk about Your power, 

𐤋

12 to make known to the sons of men His mighty acts, the esteem of the splendor of His reign.

𐤌*

13 Your reign is an everlasting reign. Your rule endures in all generations. 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) is trustworthy in all His words, and loving in all His deeds.**

*This acrostic omits the nun 𐤍

**This bolded portion of the verse is omitted from the Masoretic, but included in the Septuagint. This portion could also match the nun 𐤍 letter, as noted in the Syriac translation

𐤎

14 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) upholds all who fall, and raises up all those who are bowed down.

𐤏

15 The eyes of all wait for You, and You give them their food in due season.

𐤐

16 You open Your hand, and satisfy the desire to all khaYah (living).

𐤑

17 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) is righteous in all His ways, and favorful in all His works.

𐤒

18 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) is near to all those who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth.

𐤓

19 He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him. He also will hear their cry, and will save them.

𐤔

20 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) preserves all those who love Him, but all the wicked He will destroy.

𐤕

21 My mouth will speak the praise of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH). Let all flesh Barak His Made Apart Name forever and ever.

CHAPTER 146

1 Praise 𐤉𐤄 (YAH)! Praise 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), my being.

2 In my khaYah (life), I will praise 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH). I will sing praises to my ALUAH while I exist.

3 Do not put your trust in princes, each a son of man in whom there is no help.

4 His rukh departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish.

5 Joyful is he who has the AL of Ya'aqab for his help, his expectation is in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) His ALUAH:

6 Who made shama'ym and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, who keeps truth forever,

7 Who executes right ruling for the oppressed, who gives food to the hungry. 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) releases the prisoners.

8 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) opens the eyes of the blind. 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) raises up those who are bowed down. 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) loves the righteous.

9 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) guards the foreigners. He upholds the fatherless and widow, but the way of the wicked He turns upside down.

10 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) will reign forever, O Tsa'yun! Your ALUAH to all generations. Praise 𐤉𐤄 (YAH)!

CHAPTER 147

1 Praise 𐤉𐤄 (YAH), for it is good to sing praises to our ALUAH, for it is pleasant and fitting to praise Him.

2 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) builds up Yaru'shalam. He gathers together the outcasts of Yashar'AL.

3 The healing of the brokenhearted, and binding up their wounds.

7 Sing to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) with thanksgiving. Sing praises on the harp to our ALUAH,

8 Who covers the sky with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass sprout on the mountains.

9 He provides food for the livestock, and for the young ravens when they call.

10 He does not delight in the strength of the horse. He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.

11 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) takes pleasure in those who fear Him, in those who wait for His loving kindness.

12 Praise 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH), O Yaru'shalam! Praise Your ALUAH, O Tsa'yun!

13 For He has strengthened the bars of your gates. He has Barak your children in your midst.

14 He makes shalum (peace) in your borders. He fills you with the finest of the wheat.

15 He sends out His commandment to the earth. His word runs very swiftly.

16 The giving of snow like wool, and scatters frost like ashes.

17 He hurls down His hail like pebbles. Who can stand before His cold?

18 He sends out his word and melts them. He causes His wind to blow, and the waters flow.

19 He declares His word to Ya'aqab, His statutes and His right rulings to Yashar'AL.

20 He has not done so for all nations, and they do not know His right rulings. Praise 𐤉𐤄 (YAH)!
