MLV(i)
18 They part my garments among them and they cast a lot upon my raiment.
19 But be not far off, O Jehovah. O you my helper, you hasten to help me. 20 Deliver my soul from the sword, the only one of me from the power of the dog. 21 Save me from the lion's mouth, yes, from the horns of the wild-oxen. You have answered me.
22 I will declare your name to my brothers. I will praise you in the midst of the congregation. 23 You* who fear Jehovah, praise him. All you* the seed of Jacob, glorify him and stand in awe of him, all you* the seed of Israel.
24 Because he has not despised nor made abominable the affliction of the afflicted, neither has he hid his face from him, but when he cried to him, he heard.
25 From you comes my praise in the great assembly. I will pay my vows before those who fear him. 26 The meek will eat and be satisfied. They will praise Jehovah who seek after him. Let your* heart live forever.
27 All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to Jehovah and all the kinfolk of the nations will worship before you. 28 Because the kingdom is Jehovah's and he is the ruler over the nations.
29 All the fat ones of the earth will eat and worship. All those who go down to the dust will bow before him, even he who cannot keep his soul alive. 30 A seed will serve him. It will be told of the Lord to the next generation. 31 They will come and will declare his righteousness to a people that will be born, that he has done it.
23 1 Jehovah is my shepherd, I will not want. 2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. 3 He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Even, because I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, because you are with me, your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You have anointed my head with oil. My cup runs over.
6 Surely goodness and loving kindness will follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of Jehovah forever.
24 1 The earth is Jehovah's and the fullness of it, the world and those who dwell in it. 2 Because he has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the floods.
3 Who will ascend into the hill of Jehovah? And who will stand in his holy place?
4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood and has not sworn deceitfully.
5 He will receive a blessing from Jehovah and righteousness from the God of his salvation. 6 This is the generation of those who seek after him, who seek your face, even Jacob. Selah.
7 Lift up your* heads, O you* gates and be lifted up, you* doors everlasting and the King of glory will come in.
8 Who is the King of glory? Jehovah strong and mighty; Jehovah mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your* heads, O you* gates. Yes, lift them up, you* everlasting doors and the King of glory will come in.
10 Who is this King of glory? Jehovah of hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah.
25 1 To you, O Jehovah, I lift up my soul.
2 O my God, in you I have trusted. Do not let me be put to shame. Do not let my enemies triumph over me. 3 Yes, none who wait for you will be put to shame. They will be put to shame who deal treacherously without cause.
4 Show me your ways, O Jehovah. Teach me your paths. 5 Guide me in your truth and teach me. Because you are the God of my salvation. I wait all the day on you.
6 Remember, O Jehovah, your tender mercies and your loving kindness. Because they are from everlasting.
7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions. According to your loving kindness you remember me, for your goodness' sake, O Jehovah. 8 Good and upright is Jehovah. Therefore he will instruct sinners in the way. 9 The meek he will guide in justice and the meek he will teach his way. 10 All the paths of Jehovah are loving kindness and truth to such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11 For your name's sake, O Jehovah, pardon my iniquity, because it is great.
12 What man is he who fears Jehovah? Him he will instruct in the way that he will choose. 13 His soul will dwell at ease and his seed will inherit the land.
14 The friendship of Jehovah is with those who fear him and he will show them his covenant. 15 My eyes are ever toward Jehovah, because he will pluck my feet out of the net.
16 Turn to me and have mercy upon me, because I am desolate and afflicted. 17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged. O bring me out of my distresses. 18 Consider my affliction and my travail and forgive all my sins.
19 Consider my enemies, because they are many. And they hate me with cruel hatred.
20 O keep my soul and deliver me. Do not let me be put to shame, because I take refuge in you. 21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, because I wait for you.
22 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all of his troubles.
26 1 Judge me, O Jehovah, because I have walked in my integrity. I have also trusted in Jehovah without wavering. 2 Examine me, O Jehovah and prove me. Try my heart and my mind. 3 Because your loving kindness is before my eyes and I have walked in your truth.
4 I have not sat with men of falsehood, nor will I go in with pretenders. 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 encompass your altar, O Jehovah, 7 that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard and tell of all your wondrous works. 8 Jehovah, I love the habitation of your house and the place where your glory dwells.
9 Do not gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with men of blood, 10 in whose hands is wickedness and their right hand is full of bribes.
11 But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me and be merciful to me. 12 My foot stands in an even place. I will praise Jehovah in the congregations.
27 1 Jehovah is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? Jehovah is the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When evildoers came upon 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 will not fear. Though war should rise against me, even then I will be confident.
4 One thing I have asked of Jehovah, that I will seek after, that I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of Jehovah and to inquire in his temple.
5 Because in the day of trouble he will hide me in his shelter. He will hide me in the covering of his tabernacle He will lift me up upon a rock.
6 And now my head will be lifted up above my enemies all around me. And I will offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to Jehovah.
7 Hear, O Jehovah, when I cry with my voice. Have mercy also upon me and answer me. 8 My heart said to you, I have sought your face. O Jehovah, I will seek your face.
9 Do not hide your face from me. Do not put your servant away in anger. You have been my help. Cast me not off, nor forsake me, O God of my salvation. 10 Because my father and my mother forsake me, then Jehovah will take me up.
11 Teach me your way, O Jehovah and lead me in a plain path, because of my enemies. 12 Deliver me not over to the will of my adversaries. Because false witnesses have risen up against me and such as breathe out cruelty.
13 I believe that I will see the goodness of Jehovah in the land of the living. 14 Wait for Jehovah. Be strong and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Jehovah.
28 1 To you, O Jehovah, I will call. My rock, do not be deaf to me, lest, if you are silent to me, I become like those who go down into the pit. 2 Hear the voice of my supplications when I cry to you, when I lift up my hands toward your holy oracle.
3 Do not draw me away with the wicked and with the workers of wickedness, who speak peace with their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.
4 Give them according to their work and according to the wickedness of their practices. Give them after the operation of their hands. Render to them their recompense, 5 because they do not regard the works of Jehovah, nor the operation of his hands. He will break them down and not build them up.
6 Praise Jehovah, because he has heard the voice of my supplications. 7 Jehovah is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices and with my song I will praise him.
8 Jehovah is their strength and he is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed. 9 Save your people and bless your inheritance. Be also their shepherd and bear them up everlasting.
29 1 Give to Jehovah, O you* sons of the mighty, give to Jehovah glory and strength. 2 Give to Jehovah the glory due to his name. Worship Jehovah in holy array.
3 The voice of Jehovah is upon the waters. The God of glory thunders, even Jehovah upon many waters.
4 The voice of Jehovah is powerful. The voice of Jehovah is full of majesty.
5 The voice of Jehovah breaks the cedars. Yes, Jehovah breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon. 6 He makes them also to skip like a calf, Lebanon and Sirion like a young wild-ox.
7 The voice of Jehovah splits the flames of fire.
8 The voice of Jehovah shakes the wilderness. Jehovah shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.
9 The voice of Jehovah makes the female-deers to birth-calves and strips the forests bare. And in his temple everything says, Glory.
10 Jehovah sat as King at the Flood. Yes, Jehovah sits as King everlasting. 11 Jehovah will give strength to his people. Jehovah will bless his people with peace.
30 1 I will lift you up, O Jehovah, because you have raised me up and have not made my foes to rejoice over me. 2 O Jehovah my God, I cried to you and you have healed me.
3 O Jehovah, you have brought up my soul from Sheol. You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
4 Sing praise to Jehovah, O you* his holy ones and give thanks to his holy memorial. 5 Because his anger is but for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may abide for the night, but joy is in the morning.
6 As for me, I said in my prosperity, I will not be shaken everlasting. 7 You, Jehovah, had made my mountain to stand strong from your favor. You hid your face; I was troubled. 8 I cried to you, O Jehovah and I made supplication to Jehovah.
9 What profit is there in my blood when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? Shall it declare your truth? 10 Hear, O Jehovah and have mercy upon me. Jehovah, be my helper. 11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing. You have loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness, 12 to the end that my glory may sing praise to you and not be silent.
O Jehovah my God, I will give thanks to you everlasting.
19 But be not far off, O Jehovah. O you my helper, you hasten to help me. 20 Deliver my soul from the sword, the only one of me from the power of the dog. 21 Save me from the lion's mouth, yes, from the horns of the wild-oxen. You have answered me.
22 I will declare your name to my brothers. I will praise you in the midst of the congregation. 23 You* who fear Jehovah, praise him. All you* the seed of Jacob, glorify him and stand in awe of him, all you* the seed of Israel.
24 Because he has not despised nor made abominable the affliction of the afflicted, neither has he hid his face from him, but when he cried to him, he heard.
25 From you comes my praise in the great assembly. I will pay my vows before those who fear him. 26 The meek will eat and be satisfied. They will praise Jehovah who seek after him. Let your* heart live forever.
27 All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to Jehovah and all the kinfolk of the nations will worship before you. 28 Because the kingdom is Jehovah's and he is the ruler over the nations.
29 All the fat ones of the earth will eat and worship. All those who go down to the dust will bow before him, even he who cannot keep his soul alive. 30 A seed will serve him.

8 Who is the King of glory? Jehovah strong and mighty; Jehovah mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your* heads, O you* gates. Yes, lift them up, you* everlasting doors and the King of glory will come in.
10 Who is this King of glory? Jehovah of hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah.

2 O my God, in you I have trusted. Do not let me be put to shame. Do not let my enemies triumph over me. 3 Yes, none who wait for you will be put to shame. They will be put to shame who deal treacherously without cause.
