¹ To the Overseer. —A Psalm of David. The heavens are recounting the honour of God, And the work of His hands The expanse is declaring. ² Day to day uttereth speech, And night to night sheweth knowledge. ³ There is no speech, and there are no words. Their voice hath not been heard. ⁴ Into all the earth hath their line gone forth, And to the end of the world their sayings, For the sun He placed a tent in them, ⁵ And he, as a bridegroom, goeth out from his covering, He rejoiceth as a mighty one To run the path. ⁶ From the end of the heavens is his going out, And his revolution is unto their ends, And nothing is hid from his heat.
⁷ The law of Jehovah is perfect, refreshing the soul, The testimonies of Jehovah are stedfast, Making wise the simple, ⁸ The precepts of Jehovah are upright, Rejoicing the heart, The command of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes, ⁹ The fear of Jehovah is clean, standing to the age, The judgments of Jehovah are true, They have been righteous—together. ¹⁰ They are more desirable than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey, Even liquid honey of the comb. ¹¹ Also—Thy servant is warned by them, `In keeping them is a great reward.' ¹² Errors! who doth understand? From hidden ones declare me innocent, ¹³ Also—from presumptuous ones keep back Thy servant, Let them not rule over me, Then am I perfect, And declared innocent of much transgression, ¹⁴ Let the sayings of my mouth, And the meditation of my heart, Be for a pleasing thing before Thee, O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer!

¹ To the Overseer. —A Psalm of David, in the coming in unto him of Nathan the prophet, when he hath gone in unto Bath-Sheba. Favour me, O God, according to Thy kindness, According to the abundance of Thy mercies, Blot out my transgressions. ² Thoroughly wash me from mine iniquity, And from my sin cleanse me, ³ For my transgressions I do know, And my sin is before me continually. ⁴ Against Thee, Thee only, I have sinned, And done the evil thing in Thine eyes, So that Thou art righteous in Thy words, Thou art pure in Thy judging. ⁵ Lo, in iniquity I have been brought forth, And in sin doth my mother conceive me. ⁶ Lo, truth Thou hast desired in the inward parts, And in the hidden part Wisdom Thou causest me to know.
⁷ Thou cleansest me with hyssop and I am clean, Washest me, and than snow I am whiter. ⁸ Thou causest me to hear joy and gladness, Thou makest joyful bones Thou hast bruised. ⁹ Hide Thy face from my sin. And all mine iniquities blot out. ¹⁰ A clean heart prepare for me, O God, And a right spirit renew within me. ¹¹ Cast me not forth from Thy presence, And Thy Holy Spirit take not from me. ¹² Restore to me the joy of Thy salvation, And a willing spirit doth sustain me. ¹³ I teach transgressors Thy ways, And sinners unto Thee do return.
¹⁴ Deliver me from blood, O God, God of my salvation, My tongue singeth of Thy righteousness. ¹⁵ O Lord, my lips thou dost open, And my mouth declareth Thy praise. ¹⁶ For Thou desirest not sacrifice, or I give it, Burnt-offering Thou acceptest not. ¹⁷ The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, A heart broken and bruised, O God, Thou dost not despise. ¹⁸ Do good in Thy good pleasure with Zion, Thou dost build the walls of Jerusalem. ¹⁹ Then Thou desirest sacrifices of righteousness, Burnt-offering, and whole burnt-offering, Then they offer bullocks on thine altar!

¹ Praise ye Jah! Praise ye God in His holy place, Praise Him in the expanse of His strength. ² Praise Him in His mighty acts, Praise Him according to the abundance of His greatness. ³ Praise Him with blowing of trumpet, Praise Him with psaltery and harp. ⁴ Praise Him with timbrel and dance, Praise Him with stringed instruments and organ. ⁵ Praise Him with cymbals of sounding, Praise Him with cymbals of shouting. ⁶ All that doth breathe doth praise Jah! Praise ye Jah!

⁸ Withered hath grass, faded the flower, But a word of our God riseth for ever.

¹⁶ every Writing is God-breathed, and profitable for teaching, for conviction, for setting aright, for instruction that is in righteousness,

¹⁹ speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,

¹ By David. Do not fret because of evil doers, Be not envious against doers of iniquity, ² For as grass speedily they are cut off, And as the greenness of the tender grass do fade. ³ Trust in Jehovah, and do good, Dwell in the land, and enjoy faithfulness, ⁴ And delight thyself on Jehovah, And He giveth to thee the petitions of thy heart. ⁵ Roll on Jehovah thy way, And trust upon Him, and He worketh, ⁶ And hath brought out as light thy righteousness, And thy judgment as noon-day.
⁷ Be silent for Jehovah, and stay thyself for Him, Do not fret because of him Who is making prosperous his way, Because of a man doing wicked devices. ⁸ Desist from anger, and forsake fury, Fret not thyself only to do evil. ⁹ For evil doers are cut off, As to those waiting on Jehovah, they possess the land. ¹⁰ And yet a little, and the wicked is not, And thou hast considered his place, and it is not. ¹¹ And the humble do possess the land, And they have delighted themselves In the abundance of peace. ¹² The wicked is devising against the righteous, And gnashing against him his teeth. ¹³ The Lord doth laugh at him, For He hath seen that his day cometh. ¹⁴ A sword have the wicked opened, And they have trodden their bow, To cause to fall the poor and needy, To slaughter the upright of the way. ¹⁵ Their sword doth enter into their own heart, And their bows are shivered. ¹⁶ Better is the little of the righteous, Than the store of many wicked. ¹⁷ For the arms of the wicked are shivered, And Jehovah is sustaining the righteous. ¹⁸ Jehovah knoweth the days of the perfect, And their inheritance is—to the age. ¹⁹ They are not ashamed in a time of evil, And in days of famine they are satisfied. ²⁰ But the wicked perish, and the enemies of Jehovah, As the preciousness of lambs, Have been consumed, In smoke they have been consumed.
²¹ The wicked is borrowing and repayeth not, And the righteous is gracious and giving. ²² For His blessed ones do possess the land, And His reviled ones are cut off. ²³ From Jehovah are the steps of a man, They have been prepared, And his way he desireth. ²⁴ When he falleth, he is not cast down, For Jehovah is sustaining his hand. ²⁵ Young I have been, I have also become old, And I have not seen the righteous forsaken, And his seed seeking bread. ²⁶ All the day he is gracious and lending, And his seed is for a blessing. ²⁷ Turn aside from evil, and do good, and dwell to the age. ²⁸ For Jehovah is loving judgment, And He doth not forsake His saintly ones, To the age they have been kept, And the seed of the wicked is cut off. ²⁹ The righteous possess the land, And they dwell for ever on it. ³⁰ The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, And his tongue speaketh judgment. ³¹ The law of his God is his heart, His steps do not slide. ³² The wicked is watching for the righteous, And is seeking to put him to death. ³³ Jehovah doth not leave him in his hand, Nor condemn him in his being judged.
³⁴ Look unto Jehovah, and keep His way, And He doth exalt thee to possess the land, In the wicked being cut off—thou seest! ³⁵ I have seen the wicked terrible, And spreading as a green native plant, ³⁶ And he passeth away, and lo, he is not, And I seek him, and he is not found! ³⁷ Observe the perfect, and see the upright, For the latter end of each is peace. ³⁸ And transgressors were destroyed together, The latter end of the wicked was cut off. ³⁹ And the salvation of the righteous is from Jehovah, Their strong place in a time of adversity. ⁴⁰ And Jehovah doth help them and deliver them, He delivereth them from the wicked, And saveth them, Because they trusted in Him!

¹ O the happiness of that one, who Hath not walked in the counsel of the wicked. And in the way of sinners hath not stood, And in the seat of scorners hath not sat; ² But—in the law of Jehovah is his delight, And in His law he doth meditate by day and by night: ³ And he hath been as a tree, Planted by rivulets of water, That giveth its fruit in its season, And its leaf doth not wither, And all that he doth he causeth to prosper.
⁴ Not so the wicked: But—as chaff that wind driveth away! ⁵ Therefore the wicked rise not in judgment, Nor sinners in the company of the righteous, ⁶ For Jehovah is knowing the way of the righteous, And the way of the wicked is lost!

¹ He who is dwelling In the secret place of the Most High, In the shade of the Mighty lodgeth habitually, ² He is saying of Jehovah, `My refuge, and my bulwark, my God, I trust in Him,' ³ For He delivereth thee from the snare of a fowler, From a calamitous pestilence. ⁴ With His pinion He covereth thee over, And under His wings thou dost trust, A shield and buckler is His truth. ⁵ Thou art not afraid of fear by night, Of arrow that flieth by day, ⁶ Of pestilence in thick darkness that walketh, Of destruction that destroyeth at noon, ⁷ There fall at thy side a thousand, And a myriad at thy right hand, Unto thee it cometh not nigh. ⁸ But with thine eyes thou lookest, And the reward of the wicked thou seest,
⁹ (For Thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge,) The Most High thou madest thy habitation. ¹⁰ Evil happeneth not unto thee, And a plague cometh not near thy tent, ¹¹ For His messengers He chargeth for thee, To keep thee in all thy ways, ¹² On the hands they bear thee up, Lest thou smite against a stone thy foot. ¹³ On lion and asp thou treadest, Thou trampest young lion and dragon. ¹⁴ Because in Me he hath delighted, I also deliver him—I set him on high, Because he hath known My name. ¹⁵ He doth call Me, and I answer him, I am with him in distress, I deliver him, and honour him. ¹⁶ With length of days I satisfy him, And I cause him to look on My salvation!

¹⁶ Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing each other, in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, in grace singing in your hearts to the Lord;

¹ A Psalm of David. Jehovah is my shepherd, I do not lack, ² In pastures of tender grass He causeth me to lie down, By quiet waters He doth lead me. ³ My soul He refresheth, He leadeth me in paths of righteousness, For His name's sake, ⁴ Also—when I walk in a valley of death-shade, I fear no evil, for Thou art with me, Thy rod and Thy staff—they comfort me. ⁵ Thou arrangest before me a table, Over-against my adversaries, Thou hast anointed with oil my head, My cup is full! ⁶ Only—goodness and kindness pursue me, All the days of my life, And my dwelling is in the house of Jehovah, For a length of days!
