Psalms 112:1-150:6

ECB(i) 1 Halalu Yah! Blithe - the man who awes Yah Veh - who delights mightily in his misvoth. 2 His seed is mighty on earth; the generation of the straight is blessed; 3 wealth and riches are in his house; and his justness stands eternal. 4 To the straight, light rises in the darkness; he is charismatic and merciful and just: 5 a good man grants charism and lends; he sustains his words with judgment: 6 surely he totters not eternally; the just are an eternal memorial: 7 he awes not evil reports; his heart is established, confiding in Yah Veh: 8 his heart sustains; he awes not - until he sees his tribulators: 9 he scatters; he gives to the needy; his justness stands eternal; his horn is lofted with honor. 10 The wicked sees and vexes - gnashes his teeth and melts away; the desire of the wicked destructs. 113 1 Halalu Yah! Halal, O you servants of Yah Veh; halal the name of Yah Veh: 2 blessed - the name of Yah Veh from this time forth and eternally 3 - from the rising of the sun to the entry: halal the name of Yah Veh; 4 loft Yah Veh above all goyim and his honor above the heavens. 5 Who is as Yah Veh our Elohim? Who lofts in his settlement? 6 Who abases to see on the heavens and on the earth? 7 He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the dunghill 8 to set them with volunteers - the volunteers of his people. 9 He settles the sterile in the house - a cheerful mother of sons. Halalu Yah! 114 1 Yisra El came from Misrayim; the house of Yaaqov from a people unintelligible; 2 Yah Hudah became his holies; Yisra El his reign. 3 The sea sees and flees; Yarden returns; 4 the mountains dance as rams; the hills as sons of flocks. 5 What, O sea, that you flee? O Yarden, that you return? 6 O mountains, that you dance as rams? O hills, as sons of flocks? 7 Writhe, O earth, at the face of Adonay - at the face of Elohah of Yaaqov; 8 who turned the rock into a marsh water; the flint into a fountain of waters. 115 1 Not to us, O Yah Veh, not to us, but unto your name give honor; for your mercy; for your truth. 2 Why say the goyim, Where I beseech, is their Elohim? 3 Our Elohim is in the heavens; he works whatever he desires. 4 Their idols are silver and gold the work of human hands: 5 mouths have they, but they word not; eyes have they, but they see not; 6 ears have they, but they hear not; nostrils have they, but they scent not; 7 hands have they, but they touch not; feet have they, but they walk not; they mutter not through their throat. 8 They who work them are like them; thus is every one who confides in them. 9 O Yisra El, confide in Yah Veh; he is their help and their buckler: 10 O house of Aharon, confide in Yah Veh; he is their help and their buckler: 11 you who awe Yah Veh, confide in Yah Veh; he is their help and their buckler. 12 Yah Veh has been mindful of us; he blesses: he blesses the house of Yisra El; he blesses the house of Aharon; 13 he blesses them who awe Yah Veh - small and great. 14 Yah Veh increases you - you and your sons 15 - you, blessed of Yah Veh who worked the heavens and earth. 16 The heavens - the heavens, are to Yah Veh; but he gives the earth to the sons of humanity. 17 Neither the dead halal Yah nor any who descend into silence; 18 and we - we bless Yah from this time and eternally. Halalu Yah! 116 1 I love, because Yah Veh hears my voice, my supplications; 2 because he spreads his ear to me; all my days I call: 3 the cords of death surround me and the straits of sheol find me: I find tribulation and grief: 4 I call on the name of Yah Veh; O Yah Veh, I beseech you, rescue my soul. 5 Yah Veh is charismatic and just; yes, our Elohim mercies: 6 Yah Veh guards the gullible; I languish; he saves me: 7 return to your rest, O my soul; for Yah Veh deals with you. 8 For you rescued my soul from death; my eyes from tears; my feet from falling: 9 I walk at the face of Yah Veh in the land of the living: 10 I trust; I word: I - I am mightily humbled. 11 I said in my haste, All humans are liars. 12 What return I to Yah Veh for all his benefits toward me? 13 I lift the cup of salvation and call on the name of Yah Veh; 14 I shalam my vows to Yah Veh in the presence of all his people. 15 Esteemed in the eyes of Yah Veh is the death of his mercied. 16 I beseech, O Yah Veh, I your servant - I your servant, the son of your maid; you loosed my bonds. 17 I sacrifice to you the sacrifice of spread hands and call on the name of Yah Veh: 18 I shalam my vows to Yah Veh in the presence of all his people 19 - in the courts of the house of Yah Veh; in your midst, O Yeru Shalem. Halalu Yah! 117 1 O halal Yah Veh, all you goyim; laud him, all you nations: 2 for his mercy prevails mightily toward us; and the truth of Yah Veh is eternal. Halalu Yah! 118 1 O spread hands to Yah Veh; for good; his mercy eternal. 2 I beseech, Yisra El say, his mercy eternal. 3 I beseech, house of Aharon say, his mercy eternal. 4 I beseech, you who awe Yah Veh say, his mercy eternal. 5 I calle on Yah in the straits; Yah answers me from an expanse: 6 Yah Veh is on my side; I awe not what humanity works to me: 7 Yah Veh takes my part among my helpers; I - I see them who hate me. 8 Better to seek refuge in Yah Veh than to confide in humanity; 9 better to seek refuge in Yah Veh than to confide in volunteers. 10 all goyim surround me; in the name of Yah Veh, I cut them off: 11 they surround me; yes, they surround me; in the name of Yah Veh, I cut them off: 12 they surround me as bees; they are extinguished as a fire of thorns; for in the name of Yah Veh I cut them off. 13 In overthrowing, you overthrew me that I fell; and Yah Veh helped me. 14 Yah is my strength and psalm - become my salvation 15 The voice of shouting and salvation is in the tents of the just; the right of Yah Veh works valiantly: 16 the right of Yah Veh exalts; the right of Yah Veh works valiantly. 17 I die not, but live; and scribe the works of Yah. 18 In disciplining, Yah disciplines me; but gives me not over to death. 19 Open to me the portals of justness; I go in and I spread hands to Yah; 20 this portal of Yah Veh, wherein the just enter: 21 I spread hands to you; for you answered me and become my salvation. 22 The stone the builders refused becomes the head of the corner. 23 This becomes from Yah Veh - marvellous in our eyes. 24 This is the day Yah Veh worked; we twirl and cheer therein. 25 Save now \super * I beseech, I beseech you, O Yah Veh; O Yah Veh, I beseech you, prosper, I beseech. *Hoshia Nah 26 Blessed - he who comes in the name of Yah Veh; we bless you from the house of Yah Veh. 27 El is Yah Veh; he enlightens us: bind the celebration with ropes to the horns of the sacrifice altar. 28 You are my El, and I spread hands to you; you are my Elohim, I exalt you. 29 O spread hands to Yah Veh; for good; for his mercy eternal. 119 1 ALEPH. 1 Blithed - the integrious in the way, who walk in the torah of Yah Veh: 2 blithed - they who guard his witnesses - who seek him with the whole heart: 3 they do no wickedness; they walk in his ways. 4 You misvahed us to guard your precepts mightily. 5 O that I prepared my ways to guard your statutes! 6 Then I shame not when I look to all your misvoth: 7 I spread hands to you with straightness of heart when I learn your judgments of justness: 8 I guard your statutes: O forsake me not mightily. 9 BETH. How purifies a young man his way? By guarding according to your word. 10 With my whole heart I sought you; that I not err inadvertantly from your misvoth: 11 I treasure your sayings in my heart that I not sin against you. 12 Blessed you, O Yah Veh; teach me your statutes. 13 With my lips I scribe all the judgments of your mouth; 14 I rejoice in the way of your witnesses as over all wealth; 15 I meditate in your precepts and scan to your ways; 16 I delight myself in your statutes - I forget not your word. 17 GIMEL. Deal with your servant - I live and guard your word; 18 expose my eyes to behold the marvels of your torah: 19 I am a sojourner in the earth; hide not your misvoth from me: 20 my soul crushes for the desire unto your judgments at all times. 21 You rebuke the cursed arrogant who err inadvertently from your misvoth; 22 roll reproach and disrespect away from me for I guard your witnesses: 23 governors settle and word against me but your servant meditates in your statutes; 24 your witnesses are my delight and my councilmen. 25 DALETH. My soul adheres to the dust; enliven me according to your word. 26 I scribe my ways and you answer me; teach me your statutes: 27 have me discern the way of your precepts; I meditate of your marvels: 28 my soul drips of grief; raise me according to your word: 29 turn aside the way of falsehoods from me; and with your torah grant me charism: 30 I choose the way of trustworthiness; I placed your judgments: 31 I adhere to your witnesses; O Yah Veh, shame me not: 32 I run the way of your misvoth; you enlarge my heart. 33 HE. Teach me, O Yah Veh, the way of your statutes; and I guard it to the end: 34 have me discern, and I guard your torah; yes, I guard it with my whole heart: 35 aim me in the path of your misvoth; for therein I delight: 36 spread my heart to your witnesses and not to greed: 37 pass my eyes from seeing vanity; and enliven me in your way: 38 raise up your sayings to your servant who awes you: 39 pass away my reproach which I fear; for your judgments are good. 40 Behold, I desire after your precepts; enliven me in your justness. 41 VAU. Your mercies come to me, O Yah Veh, your salvation, according to your sayings: 42 and I word to answer him who reproaches me; for I confide in your word: 43 and strip not the word of truth mightily from my mouth; for I await your judgments: 44 I guard your torah continually - eternally and eternally: 45 And I walk at large for I seek your precepts: 46 I word of your witnesses in front of sovereigns and shame not: 47 I delight myself in your misvoth which I love; 48 I lift my palms to your misvoth which I love; and I meditate in your statutes. 49 ZAIN. Remember the word to your servant, on which you have me await: 50 this is my sighing in my humiliation; for your sayings enliven me. 51 The arrogant scorn me mightily; yet I spread not from your torah: 52 I remember your judgments of eternity, O Yah Veh; and sigh over myself: 53 raging seizes me because of the wicked who forsake your torah. 54 Your statutes became my psalms in the house of my sojournings: 55 I remembered your name, O Yah Veh, in the night; and guarded your torah: 56 this became me because I guarded your precepts. 57 CHETH. Yah Veh is my allotment; I say to guard your words: 58 I stroke your face with my whole heart; grant me charism according to your sayings: 59 I fabricate my ways and turned my feet to your witnesses: 60 I hasten, and linger not to guard your misvoth. 61 The cords of the wicked surround me; I forget not your torah: 62 at midnight I rise to spread hands to you because of your judgments of justness: 63 I am a companion to all who awe you and to them who guard your precepts. 64 The earth, O Yah Veh, is full of your mercy; teach me your statutes. 65 TETH. You work good with your servant, O Yah Veh, according to your word: 66 teach me good taste and knowledge; for I trust your misvoth. 67 Ere I humbled, I erred inadvertently; and now I guard your sayings: 68 you are good and do good; teach me your statutes: 69 the arrogant patch falsehood against me; I guard your precepts with my whole heart: 70 their heart fattens; I - I delight in your torah: 71 it is good for me to be humbled - to learn your statutes: 72 the torah of your mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver. 73 JOD. Your hands worked me and established me: have me to discern; to learn your misvoth. 74 They who awe you cheer when they see me; because I await your word: 75 I know, O Yah Veh, your judgments are justness and in trustworthiness you humble me. 76 I pray you, that your mercy be for my sighing, according to your sayings to your servant. 77 Your tender mercies come to me; I live: your torah is my delight. 78 Shame the arrogant - for they twist me falselyShame I meditate in your precepts. 79 May they who awe you turn to me; with them who know your witnesses. 80 May my heart be integrious in your statutes; that I not shame. 81 CAPH. My soul finishes off for your salvation; for I await your word: 82 my eyes finish off for your sayings, saying, When sigh you over me? 83 For I become as a skin in smoke; yet I forget not your statutes. 84 How many are the days of your servant? When work you judgment on my pursuers? 85 The arrogant dig pits for me which are not according your torah. 86 All your misvoth are trustworthy; they pursue me falsely; help me! 87 They almost finish me off on earth; and I - I forsake not your precepts. 88 Enliven me after your mercy; and I guard the witness of your mouth. 89 LAMED. Eternally, O Yah Veh, your word is stationed in the heavens; 90 your trustworthiness generation to generation: you established the earth and it stands. 91 They stand this day according to your judgments; for all are your servants. 92 Unless your torah were my delights I had destructed in my humiliation: 93 I forget not your precepts eternally; for with them you enliven me. 94 I am yours; save me: for I seek your precepts: 95 the wicked await me to destroy me; I discern your witnesses: 96 I see the end of all conclusion; your misvah is mighty broad. 97 MEM. O how I love your torah - my meditation all the day: 98 your misvoth enwisen me above my enemies; for they are eternally with me: 99 I comprehend more than all my teachers; for your witnesses are my meditation: 100 I discern more than the elders; because I guard your precepts: 101 I restrain my feet from every evil way to guard your word: 102 I turn not aside from your judgments; for you taught me. 103 How smooth your sayings to my palate! - than honey to my mouth! 104 Through your precepts I discern; so I hate every false way. 105 NUN. Your word is a lamp to my feet - a light to my path: 106 I oath and I raise to guard your judgments of justness: 107 I am humbled mightily; enliven me, O Yah Veh, according to your word. 108 Be pleased, I beseech you, by the voluntaries of my mouth, O Yah Veh, and teach me your judgments. 109 My soul is continually in my palm; yet I forget not your torah: 110 the wicked give a snare for me; yet I stray not from your precepts: 111 I inherited your witnesses eternally - the rejoicing of my heart: 112 I spread my heart to work your statutes - eternally - to the end. 113 SAMECH. I hate skeptics; and your torah I love. 114 You are my covert and my buckler; I await your word. 115 Turn away from me, you vilifiers; for I guard the misvoth of my Elohim. 116 Uphold me according to your sayings, that I live; that I not shame because of my expectation: 117 uphold me and I am saved; and I look to your statutes continually. 118 You trample them all who err inadvertently from your statutes; for their deceit is falsehood: 119 you shabbathize all the wicked of the earth as dross: so I love your witnesses. 120 My flesh stands on end for dread of you; and I awe your judgments. 121 AIN. I worked judgment and justness; leave me not to my oppressors: 122 pledge for your servant for good; that the arrogant not oppress me: 123 my eyes finish off for your salvation and for the sayings of your justness. 124 Work with your servant according to your mercy; and teach me your statutes. 125 I am your servant; have me discern to know your witnesses. 126 It is time, O Yah Veh, to work; for they break your torah. 127 So I love your misvoth above gold - yes, above pure gold: 128 so I straighten all your precepts to be all right: I hate every false way. 129 PE. Your witnesses are marvels; so my soul guards them: 130 the entrance of your words enlighten; so that the gullible discern: 131 I gape my mouth and gulp; for I yearn for your misvoth. 132 Face me; and grant me charism and judgment to them who love your name: 133 establish my steps in your sayings; that no mischief dominate me: 134 deliver me from the oppression of humanity; I guard your precepts. 135 Light your face on your servant; and teach me your statutes. 136 Rivulets of waters descend my eyes, because they guard not your torah. 137 TZADDI. You are just, O Yah Veh, and straight are your judgments: 138 your witnesses you misvahed are justness - mighty trustworthy: 139 my zeal exterminates me because my tribulators forget your words: 140 your saying is mighty refined; your servant loves it. 141 I - insignificant and despised; yet I forget not your precepts: 142 your justness - an eternal justness and your torah - truth. 143 Tribulation and distress find me; yet your misvoth are my delights. 144 The justness of your witnesses is eternal; have me discern, and I live. 145 KOPH. I call with my whole heart; answer, O Yah Veh: I guard your statutes. 146 I call to you; save me, and I guard your witnesses. 147 I anticipate the evening breeze and cry; I await your word: 148 my eyes anticipate the watches to meditate in your sayings: 149 hear my voice, according to your mercy, O Yah Veh, enliven me according to your judgment. 150 They who pursue intrigue draw nigh - far from your torah: 151 you are near, O Yah Veh, and all your misvoth are truth. 152 I have known your witnesses from antiquity - that you founded them eternally. 153 RESH. See my humiliation and rescue me; for I forget not your torah: 154 defend my defence and deliver me; enliven me according to your sayings 155 Salvation is far from the wicked for they seek not your statutes: 156 Great are your tender mercies, O Yah Veh; enliven me according to your judgments: 157 many are my pursuers and my tribulators; yet I spread not from your witnesses: 158 I see them who deal covertly, and I loathe; because they guard not your sayings. 159 See how I love your precepts; enliven me, O Yah Veh, according to your mercy. 160 The sum of your word is truth; and every one of your judgments of justness is eternal. 161 SCHIN. Governors pursue me gratuitously; because of your words, my heart dreads. 162 I rejoice at your sayings, as one who finds great spoil: 163 I hate and abhor falsehood but love your torah: 164 seven times a day I halal you because of your judgments of justness. 165 Great shalom have they who love your torah; they have no stumblingblock. 166 O Yah Veh, I await your salvation and work your misvoth: 167 my soul guards your witnesses; and I love them mightily: 168 I guard your precepts and your witnesses; all my ways are in front of you. 169 TAU. My shouting comes near at your face, O Yah Veh; have me discern according to your word: 170 my supplication comes at your face; rescue me according to your sayings: 171 my lips gush halal for you teach me your statutes; 172 my tongue answers of your sayings; for all your misvoth are justness: 173 your hand helps me; for I chose your precepts. 174 I desire your salvation, O Yah Veh, and your torah is my delight: 175 my soul lives and halals you; your judgments help me: 176 I strayed as a lost lamb; seek your servant; for I forget not your misvoth. 120 1 A Song of Degrees. In my tribulation I call to Yah Veh and he answers. 2 Rescue my soul, O Yah Veh, from false lips - from a deceitful tongue. 3 What gives he to you? What adds he to you, you deceitful tongue? 4 Pointened arrows of the mighty with coals of juniper. 5 Woe is me; I sojourn in Meshech; I dwell in the tents of Qedar! 6 How greatly my soul tabernacles with him who hates shalom. 7 I am for shalom; and when I word, they are for war. 121 1 A Song of Degrees. I lift my eyes to the mountains. Whence comes my help? 2 My help is from Yah Veh who worked the heavens and earth. 3 He gives not your foot to topple; your guards slumbers not: 4 behold, he who guards Yisra El neither slumbers nor sleeps: 5 Yah Veh - your guard; Yah Veh - your shade at your right; 6 neither the sun smites you by day nor the moon by night. 7 Yah Veh guards you from all evil - guards your soul: 8 Yah Veh guards your going and your coming from this time and even eternally. 122 1 A Song of Degrees: By David. I cheer when they say to me, To the house of Yah Veh we go. 2 Our feet stand within your portals, O Yeru Shalem. 3 Yeru Shalem is built; as a city joined together: 4 and there the scions ascend - the scions of Yah to the witness of Yisra El; to spread hands to the name of Yah Veh: 5 for there the thrones of judgment settle - the thrones of the house of David. 6 Ask for the shalom of Yeru Shalem; they who love you are content: 7 shalom be within your trenches and serenity within your citadels: 8 for sake of my brothers and friends I beseech a word, Shalom - within you. 9 Because of the house of Yah Veh our Elohim I seek your good. 123 1 A Song of Degrees. To you I lift my eyes, O settler in the heavens! 2 Behold, as the eyes of servants to the hand of their adonim; as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her lady; thus our eyes to Yah Veh our Elohim, until he grants us charism. 3 Grant us charism, O Yah Veh, grant us charism; for we abundantly satiate with disrespectsake 4 our soul abundantly satiates with the derision of them who relax - with the disrespect of the pompous. 124 1 A Song of Degrees by David. Unless Yah Veh had been for us I beseech, O Yisra El, say, 2 Unless Yah Veh had been for us, when humanity rose against us; 3 then they had swallowed us alive when they kindled their wrath against us: 4 the waters had overflowed us; the wadi had passed over our soul; 5 the overflowing waters had passed over our soul. 6 Blessed - Yah Veh, who gave us not as a prey to their teeth: 7 our soul escaped as a bird from the snare of the ensnarers; the snare broke and we escaped. 8 Our help is in the name of Yah Veh, who worked the heavens and earth. 125 1 A Song of Degrees. They who confide in Yah Veh are as mount Siyon; it totters not; it settles eternally. 2 As the mountains surround Yeru Shalem, thus Yah Veh surrounds his people - from this time - even eternally. 3 For the scion of wickedness rests not on the pebble of the just; lest the just spread their hands to wickedness. 4 Do good, O Yah Veh, to the good and to the straight in heart: 5 as for such as pervert to their crookednesses, Yah Veh walks them with the doers of mischief. Shalom on Yisra El. 126 1 A Song of Degrees. When Yah Veh returned the returning of Siyon, we were as dreamers: 2 our mouth filled with laughter and our tongue with shouting. Then they among the goyim say, Yah Veh worked greatly for them; 3 Yah Veh worked greatly for us - whereof we cheer. 4 Return our captivity, O Yah Veh, as the reservoirs in the south. 5 They who seed in tears shout in harvesting: 6 in going, he who comes weeping, bearing his seed, and seeding, doubtless comes again with shouting, bearing his sheaves. 127 1 A Song of Degrees: By Shelomoh. Except Yah Veh build the house the builders toil in vain; except Yah Veh guard the city the guards guard in vain: 2 how vain for you to start early, to settle down late, to eat the bread of contorting; thus he gives his beloved sleep. 3 Behold, sons are an inheritance of Yah Veh; the fruit of the belly is his hire: 4 as arrows in the hand of a mighty man thus are sons of the youth. 5 Blithe - the mighty who fills his quiver with them; they shame not, for they word with the enemies in the portal. 128 1 A Song of Degrees. Blithed - every one who awes Yah Veh; who walks in his ways: 2 for you eat the labor of your palms; blithed - and good with you 3 - your woman as a fruitbearing vine by the flanks of your house: your sons as olive transplants surrounding your table. 4 Behold, thus are the mighty; blessed - who awe Yah Veh. 5 Yah Veh blesses you from Siyon; and you see the good of Yeru Shalem all the days of your life. 6 Yes, you see the sons of your sons. Shalom on Yisra El! 129 1 A Song of Degrees. Greatly they tribulated me from my youth; O Yisra El, I beseech, say; 2 Greatly they tribulated me from my youth; yet they prevailed not against me: 3 the plowers plow on my back; they lengthen their furrows. 4 Yah Veh is just: he chops the ropes of the wicked. 5 Shame and apostatize, you who hate Siyon; 6 as the grass on the roofs, withering ere they are drawn: 7 which fill neither the palm of the mower nor the bosom of the binder: 8 neither say they who pass by, The blessing of Yah Veh is upon you; we bless you in the name of Yah Veh. 130 1 A Song of Degrees. From the depths I call you, O Yah Veh: 2 Adonay, hear my voice; hearken your ears to the voice of my supplications. 3 If, O Yah, you regard perversities, O Adonay, who stands? 4 But with you is forgiveness, that you be awed. 5 I await Yah Veh; my soul awaits: in his word I await. 6 My soul is for Adonay more than they who guard for morning - who guard for morning. 7 Yisra El, await Yah Veh; for with Yah Veh there is mercy and with him redemption abounds; 8 and he redeems Yisra El from all his perversities. 131 1 A Song of Degrees: By David. O Yah Veh, neither my heart lifts, nor my eyes loft; nor walk I in greatness or in marvels: 2 surely I place myself and hush my soul, as a child weaned from his mother; - my soul as weaned. 3 Yisra El, await Yah Veh from this time and eternally. 132 1 A Song of Degrees. O Yah Veh, remember David and all his humblings; 2 who oathed to Yah Veh and vowed to the Almighty of Yaaqov. 3 I neither come into the tent of my house; nor ascend into the bedstead of my beds; 4 nor give sleep to my eyes or drowsiness to my eyelids 5 until I find a place for Yah Veh - tabernacles for the Almighty of Yaaqov. 6 Behold, we heard thereof at Ephrath; we found thereof in the fields of the forest: 7 we enter his tabernacles; we prostrate at the stool of his feet. 8 Rise, O Yah Veh, into your rest - you and the ark of your strength. 9 Your priests enrobe with justness; and your mercied shout. 10 For sake of your servant David turn not away the face of your anointed. 11 Yah Veh oathed truth to David; he turns not from it: I set the fruit of your belly on your throne. 12 If your sons guard my covenant and the witness I teach them, their sons also settle on your throne eternally. 13 For Yah Veh chose Siyon; he desires it for his settlement: 14 this is my rest eternally; here I settle; for I desire it. 15 In blessing, I bless her hunt; I satisfy her needy with bread; 16 and I enrobe her priests with salvation; and in shouting, her mercied shout: 17 there I sprout the horn of David; I arrange a lamp for my anointed; 18 I enrobe his enemies with shame; and on him, his separatism flourishes. 133 1 A Song of Degrees: By David. Behold, how good and how pleasant for brothers to settle together in unity 2 - as the good ointment on the head descending on the beard - the beard of Aharon; descending to the skirts of his tailoring; 3 as the dew of Hermon descending on the mountains of SiyonAharon's for there Yah Veh misvahed the blessing, life eternal. 134 1 A Song of Degrees. Behold, bless Yah Veh all you servants of Yah Veh - who stand by night in the house of Yah Veh: 2 lift your hands in the holies and bless Yah Veh: 3 Yah Veh who worked the heavens and earth blesses you from Siyon. 135 1 Halalu Yah! Halal the name of Yah Veh; halal, O you servants of Yah Veh; 2 you who stand in the house of Yah Veh - in the courts of the house of our Elohim. 3 Halalu Yah! Yah Veh is good. Psalm to his name; for it is pleasant: 4 for Yah chose Yaaqov for himself; Yisra El for his peculiar treasure. 5 For I know that Yah Veh is great and that our Adonay is above all elohim. 6 Yah Veh works whatever he desires in the heavens and in earth in the seas and all abysses: 7 he ascends the vapours from the ends of the earth; works lightnings for the rain; brings the wind from his treasuries: 8 who smote the firstbirthed of Misrayim - both of human to animal: 9 who sent signs and omens into your midst, O Misrayim - on Paroh and on all his servants: 10 who smote great goyim and slaughtered mighty sovereigns 11 - Sichon sovereign of the Emoriy and Og sovereign of Bashan and all the sovereigndoms of Kenaan; 12 and gave their land for an inheritance - an inheritance to Yisra El his people. 13 O Yah Veh, your name, eternal; O Yah Veh, your memorial, generation to generation: 14 for Yah Veh pleads the cause of his people and he sighs concerning his servants. 15 The idols of the goyim are silver and gold - the work of human hands: 16 mouths, and they word not; eyes, and they see not; 17 ears, and they hearken not; nose, and their is no spirit/wind in their mouth. 18 They who work them are likened to them; thus every one who confides in them. 19 O house of Yisra El, bless Yah Veh; O house of Aharon, bless Yah Veh; 20 O house of Levi, bless Yah Veh; you who awe Yah Veh, bless Yah Veh. 21 Blessed - Yah Veh from Siyon who tabernacles at Yeru Shalem. Halalu Yah! 136 1 O Spread hands to Yah Veh; for good; for his mercy eternal: 2 O spread hands to the Elohim of elohim; for his mercy eternal: 3 O spread hands to Adonay of adonim; for his mercy eternal: 4 to him who alone works great marvels; for his mercy eternal: 5 to him who by discernment worked the heavens; for his mercy eternal: 6 to him who expanded the earth above the waters; for his mercy eternal: 7 to him who worked great lights; for his mercy eternal: 8 the sun to reign by day; for his mercy eternal: 9 the moon and stars to reign by night; for his mercy eternal: 10 to him who smote Misrayim - their firstbirthed; for his mercy eternal: 11 and brought Yisra El from among them; for his mercy eternal: 12 with a strong hand and spread arm; for his mercy eternal: 13 to him who cut the Reed sea into pieces; for his mercy eternal: 14 and passed Yisra El through the midst; for his mercy eternal: 15 and shook Paroh and his valiant in the Reed sea; for his mercy eternal: 16 to him who walked his people in the wilderness; for his mercy eternal: 17 to him who smote great sovereigns; for his mercy eternal: 18 and slaughtered mighty sovereigns; for his mercy eternal: 19 Sichon sovereign of the Emoriy; for his mercy eternal: 20 and Og the sovereign of Bashan; for his mercy eternal: 21 and gave their land for an inheritance; for his mercy eternal: 22 even an inheritance to Yisra El his servant; for his mercy eternal: 23 who remembered us in our lowliness; for his mercy eternal: 24 and has separated us from our tribulators; for his mercy eternal: 25 who gives bread to all flesh; for his mercy eternal: 26 O spread hands to El of the heavens; for his mercy eternal. 137 1 By the rivers of Babel, there we settled; yes, we wept, when we remembered Siyon; 2 we hung our harps midst the willows: 3 for there our captors asked us the words of a song - our howlers, of cheer, Sing us a song of Siyon! 4 How sing we a song of Yah Veh in a strange soil? 5 If I forget you, O Yeru Shalem, my right forgets: 6 if I remember you not, my tongue adheres to my palate - if I ascend not Yeru Shalem, above the head of my cheer. 7 Remember, O Yah Veh, the sons of Edom in the day of Yeru Shalem who say, Strip naked - strip naked to the foundation! 8 O daughter of Babel, O ravaged; blithed - he who shalams your deed to you as you dealt us. 9 Blithed - he who takes and splatters your infants against the rocks. 138 1 By David. I spread hands to you with my whole heart; in front of Elohim/the elohim, I psalm to you: 2 I prostrate toward your holy manse and spread hands to your name - for your mercy and for your truth: for you greatened your saying above all your name. 3 In the day I called you answered me and encouraged me with strength in my soul. 4 All the sovereigns of the earth spread hands to you, O Yah Veh, when they hear the sayings of your mouth. 5 Yes, they sing in the ways of Yah Veh; for great is the honor of Yah Veh. 6 For Yah Veh is high, and he sees the lowly; and he knows the lofty afar off. 7 If I walk midst tribulation, you enliven me; you spread your hand against the wrath of my enemies and your right saves me. 8 Yah Veh consummates what concerns me. Your mercy, O Yah Veh, is eternal; slacken not the works of your own hands. 139 1 To His Eminence: A Psalm by David. O Yah Veh, you probed me and know; 2 you know my settling and my uprising; you discern my intention afar off; 3 you winnow my path and my reposing and are accustomed to all my ways; 4 for there is not an utterance in my tongue. Behold, O Yah Veh, you know altogether; 5 you besiege me behind and in front and placed your palm on me. 6 Such knowledge is too marvellous for me; too lofty; I am not able for it. 7 Where go I from your spirit? Where flee I from your face? 8 If I ascend into the heavens, you are there; if I bed down in sheol, behold - you; 9 if I lift the wings of the dawn and tabernacle in the finality of the sea; 10 even there your hand leads me and your right holds me: 11 if I say, Surely the darkness crushes me; even the night is light to me. 12 Yes, the darkness darkens not from you; and night lights as the day; as the darkness, thus the light. 13 For you - you chattelized my reins; you covered me in the belly of my mother: 14 I spread hands to you; for I am awesomely distinguished; marvellous are your works - and my soul knows that right well. 15 My might was not concealed from you, when I was covertly worked and embroidered in the nethermost of the earth: 16 your eyes saw my embryo; and in your scroll they were inscribed in the days they were formed - and no one among them. 17 How esteemed - your intentions to me, O El! How mighty their head! 18 If I scribe them, they abound more than the sand; when I waken, I am still with you. 19 Surely you sever the wicked, O Elohah; so turn aside from me, you men of blood: 20 for they say intrigue against you; lift your enemies in vanity. 21 Hate I not them, O Yah Veh, who hate you? and loathe I not them who resist you? 22 I hate them with conclusive hatred; I count them my enemies. 23 Probe me, O El, and know my heart; proof me and know my thoughts: 24 and see if there be a contorting way in me and lead me in the way eternal. 140 1 To His Eminence: A Psalm by David. Rescue me, O Yah Veh, from evil humanity; guard me from the man of violence 2 who machinates evils in the heart: all day they sojourn for war; 3 they pointen their tongues as a serpent; the poison of asps is under their lips. Selah. 4 Guard me, O Yah Veh, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the man of violence; who machinates to overthrow my steps. 5 The pompous hide a line for me - and cords; they spread a net by the hand of the route; they set snares for me. Selah. 6 I say to Yah Veh, You are my El; hearken, O Yah Veh, to the voice of my supplications: 7 O Yah Veh Adonay, the strength of my salvation, you covered my head in the day of armament: 8 give not, O Yah Veh, the wicked their desires; promote not his intrigue; lest they be lofted. Selah. 9 As for the heads of them who surround me, cover them with the toil of their own lips; 10 topple coals on them; fell them in the fire - in deep pits that they rise not. 11 Establish no man of tongue in the earth; evil hunts the man of violence - to overthrow him. 12 I know Yah Veh works the plea of the humble - the judgment of the needy. 13 Surely the just spread hands to your name; the straight settle at your face. 141 1 A Psalm by David. O Yah Veh, I call to you; hasten to me; hearken to my voice when I call to you: 2 I prepare my prayer at your face as incense; and the burden of my palms as the evening offering. 3 Set a guard, O Yah Veh, in front of my mouth; guard the door of my lips; 4 spread not my heart to any evil word - to exploit wicked exploits with men who work mischief - that I not eat of their delicacies. 5 The just hammer me in mercy, and reprove me; an ointment of the head - which my head disallows not; for my prayer is yet against their evil. 6 Their judges are released by the hands of the rocks; they hear my sayings; they are pleased. 7 Our bones are scattered at the mouth of sheol as one cleaving and splitting the earth. 8 But to you, O Yah Veh Adonay, are my eyes; in you I seek refuge; strip not my soul naked: 9 guard me from the hands of the snares they ensnare for me - and the snares of the doers of mischief. 10 Fell the wicked into their own nets, until I pass over. 142 1 On Comprehension: By David: A Prayer when he is in the cave. My voice to Yah Veh, I cry; my voice to Yah Veh, I seek charism: 2 I pour my meditation at his face; I tell my tribulation to his face: 3 when my spirit languishes within me, then you know my path: in the way I walk, they hide a snare for me. 4 I look to the right and see; no one recognizes me: retreat destructs from me; no one seeks of my soul. 5 I cry to you, O Yah Veh; I say, You are my refuge and my allotment in the land of the living; 6 hearken to my shouting for I am mightily languished: rescue me from my pursuers for they are stronger than I: 7 bring my soul from the lockup to spread hands to your name; the just surround me; when you deal with me. 143 1 A Psalm: By David. Hear my prayer, O Yah Veh; hearken to my supplications: in your trustworthiness answer me - in your justness. 2 And enter not into judgment with your servant; for at your face no one living is justified; 3 for an enemy pursues my soul; he crushes my life to the earth; he settles me in darkness as the eternal dead: 4 my spirit within me languishes; my heart within me desolates: 5 I remember the days of antiquity; I meditate on all your deeds; I meditate on the work of your hands: 6 I spread my hands to you; my soul is as a languid land for you. Selah. 7 Answer me hastily, O Yah Veh; my spirit finishes off: hide not your face from me; lest I be as they who descend in the well: 8 that I hear your mercy in the morning; for in you I confide: that I know the way wherein I walk; for I lift up my soul to you. 9 Rescue me, O Yah Veh, from my enemies - cover me with yourself; 10 teach me to work your pleasure for you are my Elohim; your spirit is good; lead me into the land of straightness. 11 Enliven me, O Yah Veh, for sake of your name; for sake of your justness bring my soul from tribulation: 12 and by your mercy cut off my enemies and exterminate all who tribulate my soul; for I am your servant. 144 1 By David. Blessed - Yah Veh my rock who teaches my hands to war and my fingers to war: 2 my mercy and my stronghold; my secure loft, who slips me away; my buckler, in whom I seek refuge; who subdues my people under me. 3 O Yah Veh, what is humanity, that you know him? - the son of man, that you fabricate him? 4 Humanity is likened to vanity; his days are as a passing shadow. 5 Spread your heavens, O Yah Veh, and descend; touch the mountains, and they smoke; 6 lightning the lightning and scatter them; send your arrows and agitate them; 7 send your hand from the heights; tear me loose and rescue me from great waters - from the hand of strange sons 8 whose mouth words vanity whose right is a right of falsehood. 9 O Elohim, I sing you a new song; on a bagpipe and a decachord, I psalm to you 10 - who gives salvation to sovereigns; who release David his servant from the evil sword. 11 Tear me loose and rescue me from the hand of strange sons - whose mouth words vanity whose right is a right of falsehood. 12 Because our sons as plants become grown in their youth; and our daughters as prominent corner pillars carved in the pattern of a manse; 13 our granaries fill up - producing species by species; our flocks bring forth a thousandfold and abound by the myriads in our outways; 14 our chiliarchs bear - neither breaching nor going out; nor cry out in our broadways. 15 Blithe - that people, who is thus; yes, blithe - that people, whose Elohim is Yah Veh. 145 1 Halal: By David. I exalt you, my Elohim, O sovereign; and I bless your name eternally and eternally: 2 every day I bless you; and I halal your name eternally and eternally: 3 great is Yah Veh and mightily to be halaled; and his greatness is not to be probed: 4 generation to generation lauds your works and tells your might: 5 I meditate on the glorious honor of your majesty and on your marvellous words: 6 and say of the strength of your awesome acts; I scribe your greatness: 7 they gush the memorial of your great goodness and shout of your justness. 8 Yah Veh is charismatic and merciful; slow to wrath and of great mercy: 9 Yah Veh is good to all; and his tender mercies are over all his works. 10 All your works spread hands to you, O Yah Veh; and your mercied bless you: 11 they say of the honor of your sovereigndom and word of your might; 12 to make his might known to the sons of humanity - and the honor of majesty of his kingdom. 13 Your sovereigndom is an eternal sovereigndom and your reign generation to generation. 14 Yah Veh upholds all who fall and raises all who are bowed down: 15 the eyes of all expect you; and you give them their food on time: 16 you open your hand and satisfy the pleasure of all living. 17 Yah Veh is just in all his ways and mercied in all his works: 18 Yah Veh is near all who call on him - to all who call on him in truth: 19 he works their pleasure, who awe him; he hears their cry and saves them: 20 Yah Veh guards all who love him; and desolates all the wicked. 21 My mouth words the halal of Yah Veh; all flesh blesses his holy name eternally and eternally. 146 1 Halalu Yah! Halal Yah Veh, O my soul. 2 I halal Yah Veh in my life time; I psalm to my Elohim while I still am. 3 Confide not in volunteers - in a son of humanity - in whom there is no salvation: 4 his spirit goes; he returns to his soil; that very day his thoughts destruct. 5 Blithe - he who has El of Yaaqov for his help; whose expectation is in Yah Veh his Elohim 6 - who worked the heavens and earth, the sea and all therein: who guards truth eternally; 7 who works judgment for the oppressed; who gives bread to the famished. Yah Veh looses the bound; 8 Yah Veh opens the blind; Yah Veh raises the bowed; Yah Veh loves the just; 9 Yah Veh guards the sojourners; he restores the orphan and widow; and twists the way of the wicked. 10 Yah Veh reigns eternal; your Elohim, O Siyon, generation to generation. Halalu Yah! 147 1 Halalu Yah! For it is good to psalm to our Elohim; for it is pleasant; and befits halal: 2 Yah Veh builds Yeru Shalem; he gathers the overthrown of Yisra El; 3 he heals the broken in heart and binds their contortions; 4 he numbers the number of the stars; he calls them all by names. 5 Great is our Adonay and great of force; his discernments innumerable: 6 Yah Veh restores the humble; he abases the wicked to the earth. 7 Answer Yah Veh with spread hands; psalm on the harp to our Elohim 8 - who covers the heavens with thick clouds; who prepares rain for the earth; who sprouts grass on the mountains; 9 who gives his bread to the animal and to the sons of ravens who call. 10 He neither delights in the might of the horse; nor takes pleasure in the legs of a man. 11 Yah Veh takes pleasure in them who awe him; who await his mercy. 12 Laud Yah Veh, O Yeru Shalem; halal your Elohim, O Siyon. 13 For he strengthens the bars of your portals; he blesses your sons within you; 14 who sets shalom in your borders and satisfies you with the fat of the wheat; 15 who sends his sayings on earth; whose word runs very quickly; 16 who gives snow as wool: he scatters the hoarfrost as ashes; 17 he casts his ice as morsels. Who stands at the face of his cold? 18 He sends his word and they melt; he blows his wind; the waters flow; 19 he tells his word to Yaaqov - his words and his judgments to Yisra El. 20 He worked not thus with any goyim; and as to judgments, they know them not. Halalu Yah! 148 1 Halalu Yah! Halal Yah Veh from the heavens; halal him in the heights; 2 halal him, all his angels; halal him, all his hosts; 3 halal him, sun and moon; halal him, all you stars of light; 4 halal him, you heavens of the heavens and you waters above the heavens: 5 Halal the name of Yah Veh; for he misvahed and they were created. 6 He stands them eternally and eternally; he gave a statute; they pass not over. 7 Halal Yah Veh from the earth you monsters and all abysses; 8 fire and hail; snow and smoke; stormy wind working his word; 9 mountains and all hills; fruitful trees and all cedars; 10 live beings and all animals; creepers and birds of wing; 11 sovereigns of the earth and all nations; governors and all judges of the earth; 12 both youths and maidens; aged and lads! 13 Halal the name of Yah Veh; for his name alone is lofted; his majesty is above the earth and the heavens: 14 he exalts the horn of his people - the halal of all his mercied; of the sons of Yisra El - a people near him. Halalu Yah! 149 1 Halalu Yah! Sing Yah Veh a new song and his halal in the congregation of the mercied. 2 Yisra El cheers in his Worker; the sons of Siyon twirl in their Sovereign: 3 they halal his name in the round dance; they psalm to him with tambourine and harp; 4 for Yah Veh takes pleasure in his people; he adorns the humble with salvation. 5 The mercied jump for joy in honor; they shout on their beds; 6 the exaltation of El is in their throat and a sword of teeth in their hand 7 - to work vengeance on the goyim and reproofs on the nations: 8 to bind their sovereigns with bonds and their honored with fetters of iron: 9 to work on them the inscribed judgment - a majesty for all his mercied. Halalu Yah! 150 1 Halalu Yah! Halal El in his holies; halal him in the expanse of his strength; 2 halal him for his might; halal him according to his abundant greatness; 3 halal him with the blast of the shophar; halal him with the bagpipe and harp; 4 halal him with the tambourine and round dance; halal him with strummers and woodwinds; 5 halal him on the hearkening cymbals; halal him on the clanging cymbals. 6 All you who breathe, halal Yah. Halalu Yah!
