Introduction
Introduction to Tehillim (The Septuagint Psalter)
Within the Framework of The Ivri Heritage Bible
The text presented here, titled Tehillim (תְּהִלִּים — Praises) and historically preserved as the Septuagint Psalter, stands as the definitive collection of liturgical hymnody, prophetic intercession, and royal enthronement decrees within the multi-volume architecture of The Ivri Heritage Bible. While traditionally understood as Yisrael's hymnal, this specialized edition unrolls the Psalms directly from the ancient transmission line of the Greek Septuagint (LXX), as featured in the foundational manuscript file "Tehillim_Psalms_LXX_Hebraic-Nazarene". Filtered through an uncompromised Hebraic-Messianic Nazarene lens, it restores the structural reality, numbering systems, and internal formatting familiar to the first-century Netzarim (Nazarene) community who quoted these very lyrics to validate the cosmic reality of the Messiah.
Textual Methodology: Restoring Sacred Names and Recovering LXX Divergences
As an essential hallmark of The Holy Ivri Heritage Bible, this volume recovers pristine Hebrew scripts, covenantal designations, and precise institutional terms embedded directly into the poetic prose: • The Revelation of the Sovereign Names: The supreme, four-letter covenantal Name of the Almighty is restored as Yahuah (יְהוָה — the Lord), appearing alongside the titles Elohim (אֱלֹהִים — God), Elohai (אֱלֹהַי — my God), and Adonai (אֲדֹנָי — my Lord). The eschatological King is designated uniformly as Mashiach (מָשִׁיחַ — Christ / Anointed). • Structural and Numbering Authenticity: This volume completely honors the ancient Septuagint manuscript transmission. Its numbering system runs one behind the Masoretic text for the majority of the book. For example, the massive acrostic masterpiece traditionally split in Western bibles is maintained in its original, unified structure as Psalm 9a and Psalm 9b. Furthermore, musical and liturgical pauses are designated by the bracketed term Diapsalma, matching the Hebrew Selah. • The Mo'edim Prophetic Divergence (Psalm 73:8 vs. Masoretic 74:8): A crucial textual variant is preserved in this edition. Where the Western Masoretic text of Psalm 74:8 records the physical destruction of brick-and-mortar buildings ("they burned all the meeting places/sanctuaries of God in the land"), the ancient Septuagint line preserves a far more sinister, eschatological plot against the calendar of the Creator. Labeled as Psalm 73:8 under the LXX tracking, the adversaries declare in their heart: “Come, let us abolish the feasts [holy days] of Yahuah from the earth.” This reveals that the war waged by the lawless matrix is fundamentally an ideological campaign to eradicate the appointed times (Mo'edim) and the corporate rhythmic worship of the set-apart remnant from the face of the earth. • Hebraized Lexical Glosses: Essential concepts are presented in their native Hebraic form, flanked by English translations where the prose supplies them, such as derekh (way), Tzaddikim (the righteous / just), resha'im (wicked), Shamayim (heavens), Eretz (earth / land), and She'ol (Hades / the grave / netherworld). • Sanctuary and Liturgical Terminology: The structural environment of worship uses authentic vocabulary, including Torah (Law), mitzvot (commandments), chukkim (ordinances), mishpatim (judgments), imrah (oracles), Kodesh (Sanctuary / holiness), Mishkan (tabernacle), Beit Yahuah (House of the Lord), Kahal (Assembly / Church), Kavod (glory), shofar (trumpet), kinorot (harps), and letoret (incense).
Canonical Architecture: The Five Books and Extended Dead Sea Traditions
The book of Tehillim acts as a microcosmic reflection of the Torah, structured seamlessly into progressive movements that chart the journey from individual distress to universal, cosmic praise. This edition preserves the profound transition points across the Psalter's structural framework, including the dramatic shift into Book Three at Psalm 72, which focuses on the sanctuary portal and the desolation of the wicked, and the historic transition into Book Four at Psalm 89 (Masoretic 90), opening with the eternal sanctuary prayer of Moshe.
Unique to The Ivri Heritage Bible, this volume does not terminate with the standard Western compilation but restores the full manuscript lineage found across the Septuagint and the ancient Dead Sea Scrolls (Qumran): • The Canonical Climax: The traditional psalter concludes with its foundational Hallel array, moving from the pristine priesthood intercessions to the final, thunderous call of Psalm 150 for every neshamah (breath) to praise Yahuah in the raqia (firmament) of His power. • The Supernumerary Psalms (Psalms 151–160): This edition preserves the rare, authentic wilderness compositions of David's youth and national crises, including Psalm 151 detailing his single combat with Golyat (Goliath); the raw cries of Psalms 152 and 153 regarding his victories over the lion and the wolf; the national restoration anthems of Psalms 154 and 155 linked to Chizkiyahu and Koresh (Cyrus); and the sublime cosmological fragments of Psalms 156 through 160, culminating in the grand descriptive vision of Yahuah's throne resting upon emet (truth) and mishpat (judgment). • The Epilogue to the Psalter: Anchoring these extended lyrics is the ancient manuscript summary, which documents David as the illuminated scribe who uttered 4,050 songs through nevu'ah (prophecy) given from before Refined Elyon (the Most High), precisely calibrated to match the daily, Sabbath, and festival sacrifices of the sacred year.
An Enduring Standard for the Remnant
Within The Ivri Heritage Bible, the Book of Tehillim functions as a living, breathing blueprint for the soul's warfare and corporate ascent. It demonstrates that whether one is navigating the "dark night of the soul" in the shadow of enemies trying to abolish the holy days of the Creator, standing in the forensic court protocols of the morning, or matching steps with the pilgrims ascending to the Beit Yahuah, true victory is found in meditating upon the Torah day and night. As you read these restored, ancient lyric sheets from "Tehillim_Psalms_LXX_Hebraic-Nazarene (1 of1).docx", let the raw power of the revealed Name realign your heart, and join the universal chorus that crowns the Mashiach as King over all the Eretz.

The Two Pathways of Man: The Structural Torah Cycle vs. The Chaff of the Wicked
1.0×
1Blessed is the man who has not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, and has not stood in the derekh (way) of sinners, and has not sat in the seat of evil men.[2]2But his pleasure is in the Torah of Yahuah; and in His Torah will he meditate day and night. [3]3And he shall be as a tree planted by the brooks of waters, which shall yield its fruit in its season, and its leaf shall not fall off; and whatever he shall do shall be prospered.[4]4Not so the ungodly; —not so: but rather as the chaff which the wind scatters away from the face of the HaEretz (the earth).[5]5Therefore the ungodly shall not rise in judgment, nor sinners in the counsel of the Tzaddikim (the righteous / just).[6]6For Yahuah knows the derekh (way) of the Tzaddikim (righteous); but the way of the resha'im (wicked)ungodly shall perish.[7]18And the house of Ya'akov shall be fire, and the house of Yosef (Joseph) a flame, and the house of Esav shall be for stubble; and Yisrael (Israel) shall flame forth against them, and shall devour them, and there shall not be a corn-field left to the house of Esav ; because Adonai has spoken.20And this shall be the domain of the captivity of the children of Yisrael , the land of the Kena'anim (Chananites) as far as Tzarfat (Sarepta); and the captives of Yerushalayim shall inherit as far as Efrat (Ephratha); they shall inherit the cities of the south.21And they that escape shall come up from Har Tziyon , to take vengeance on the mount of Esav ; and the kingdom shall be la'Yahuah (the Lord's).

1Wherefore did the heathen rage, and the nations imagine vain things?[8]2The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers gathered themselves together, against Yahuah, and against His Mashiach (Christ);3saying, “Let us break through their bonds, and cast away their yoke from us.”4He that dwells in the shamayim (heavens) shall laugh them to scorn, and Adonai shall mock them.5Then shall He speak to them in His anger, and trouble them in His fury.6“But I have been made king by Him on Zion His holy mountain,7declaring the ordinance of Yahuah:Yahuah said to Me, ‘You are My Son, today have I begotten You.8Ask of Me, and I will give You the heathen for Your inheritance, and the ends of the eretz (earth) for Your possession.9You shall rule them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them in pieces as a potter's vessel.10Now therefore understand, you kings: be instructed, all you that judge the eretz.11Serve Yahuah with fear, and rejoice in Him with trembling.12Accept correction, lest at any time Yahuah be angry, and you should perish from the righteous way: whenever His wrath shall be suddenly kindled, blessed are all they that trust in Him.

1A Psalm of David, when he fled from the presence of his son Avshalom (Abessalom). O Yahuah, why are they that afflict me multiplied? Many rise up against me.2Many say concerning my soul, “There is no deliverance for him in his Elohim.” Diapsalma (Pause).3But You, O Yahuah, are my helper: my glory, and the One that lifts up my head.4I cried to Yahuah with my voice, and He heard me out of His holy mountain. Diapsalma (Pause).5I lay down and slept; I awaked; forYahuah will help me.6I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people who beset me round about.7Arise, Yahuah; deliver me, my Elohim: for You have smitten all who were without cause my enemies; You have broken the teeth of sinners.8Deliverance is Yahuah's, and Your blessing is upon Your people.

When I called upon Him, the Elohim of my righteousness heard me: You have made room for me in tribulation; pity me, and listen to my prayer.2O you sons of men, how long will you be slow of heart? Therefore, do you love vanity, and seek falsehood? Diapsalma (Pause).3But know you that Yahuah has done wondrous things for His holy one: Yahuah will hear me when I cry to Him.4Be you angry, and sin not; feel compunction upon your beds for what you say in your hearts. Diapsalma (Pause).5Offer the sacrifice of righteousness, and trust in Yahuah.6Many say, “Who will show us good things?” The light of Your countenance, O Yahuah, has been manifested towards us.7You have put gladness into my heart: they have been satisfied with the fruit of their corn and wine and oil.8I will both lie down in peace and sleep: for You, Yahuah, only have caused me to dwell securely.

1For the End, a Psalm of David, concerning her that inherits. Hearken to my words, O Yahuah; attend to my cry.2Attend to the voice of my supplication, my King, and my Elohim: for to You, O Yahuah, will I pray.3In the morning You shall hear my voice: in the morning will I wait upon You, and will look up.4For You are not an El that desires iniquity; neither shall the worker of wickedness dwell with You.5Neither shall the transgressors continue in Your sight: You hate, O Yahuah, all them that work iniquity.6You will destroy all that speak falsehood: Yahuah abhors the bloody and deceitful man.7But I will enter into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy: I will worship in Your fear towards Your holy Temple.8Lead me, O Yahuah, in Your righteousness because of my enemies; make my way plain before Your face.9For there is no truth in their mouth; their heart is vain; their throat is an open sepulcher; with their tongues they have used deceit.10Judge them, O Elohim; let them fail of their counsels: cast them out according to the abundance of their ungodliness; for they have provoked You, O Yahuah.11But let all that trust on You be glad in You: they shall exult forever, and You shall dwell amongst them; and all that love Your name shall rejoice in You.12For You, Yahuah, shall bless the righteous: You have compassed us as with a shield of favor.

O Yahuah, rebuke me not in Your wrath, neither chasten me in Your anger.2Pity me, O Yahuah; for I am weak: heal me, O Yahuah; for my bones are vexed.3My soul also is grievously vexed: but You, O Yahuah, how long?4Return, O Yahuah, deliver my soul: save me for Your mercy's sake.5For in death no man remembers You: and who will give You thanks in She'ol (Hades)?6I am wearied with my groaning; I shall wash my bed every night; I shall water my couch with tears.7My eye is troubled because of my wrath; I am worn out because of all my enemies.8Depart from me, all you that work iniquity; for Yahuah has heard the voice of my weeping.9Yahuah has listened to my petition; Yahuah has accepted my prayer.10Let all my enemies be put to shame and sore troubled: let them be turned back and grievously put to shame speedily.

1A Psalm of David, which he sang to Yahuah because of the words of Chushi (Cushi) the Benyamite. O Yahuah my Elohim, in You have I trusted: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me.2Lest at any time the enemy seize my soul as a lion, while there is none to ransom, nor to save.3O Yahuah my Elohim, if I have done this; (if there is unrighteousness in my hands;)4if I have requited with evil those who requited me with good; may I then perish empty by means of my enemies.5Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; and let him trample my life on the ground, and lay my glory in the dust. Diapsalma (Pause).6Arise, O Yahuah, in Your wrath; be exalted in the utmost boundaries of my enemies: awake, O Yahuah my Elohim, according to the decree which You did command.7And the congregation of the nations shall compass You: and for this cause do You return on high.8Yahuah shall judge the nations: judge me, O Yahuah, according to my righteousness, and according to my innocence that is in me.9Oh let the wickedness of sinners come to an end; and then You shall direct the righteous, O Elohim that search the hearts and reins.10My help is righteous, coming from Elohim who saves the upright in heart.11Elohim is a righteous judge, and strong, and patient, not inflicting vengeance every day.12If you will not repent, He will furbish His sword; He has bent His bow, and made it ready.13And on it He has fitted the instruments of death; He has completed His arrows for the raging ones.14Behold, he has travailed with unrighteousness, he has conceived trouble, and brought forth iniquity.15He has opened a pit, and dug it up, and he shall fall into the ditch which he has made.16His trouble shall return on his own head, and his unrighteousness shall come down on his own crown.17I will give thanks to Yahuah according to His righteousness; I will sing to the name of Yahuah Elyon (Most High).

Or the son of man, that You visit him?5You made him a little less than angels, You have crowned him with glory and honor;6and You have set him over the works of Your hands: You have put all things under his feet:7sheep and all oxen, yes, and the cattle of the field;8the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea, the creatures passing through the paths of the sea.9O Yahuah, our Adonai, how wonderful is Your name in all the earth!

1For the End, a Psalm of David, concerning the secrets of the Son. I will give thanks to You, O Yahuah, with my whole heart; I will recount all Your wonderful works.2I will be glad and exult in You: I will sing to Your name, O You Elyon (Most High).3When my enemies are turned back, they shall be feeble and perish at Your presence.4For You have maintained my cause and my right; You sat on the throne, that judge righteousness.5You have rebuked the nations, and the ungodly one has perished; You have blotted out their name forever, even forever and ever.6The swords of the enemy have failed utterly; and You have destroyed cities: their memorial has been destroyed with a noise.7But Yahuah endures forever: He has prepared His throne for judgment.8And He will judge the world in righteousness, He will judge the nations in uprightness.9Yahuah also is become a refuge for the poor, a seasonable help in affliction.10And let them that know Your name hope in You: for You, O Yahuah, have not failed them that diligently seek You.11Sing praises to Yahuah, who dwells in Zion: declare His dealings amongst the nations.12For He remembered them, in making inquisition for blood: He has not forgotten the supplication of the poor.13Have mercy upon me, O Yahuah; look upon my affliction which I suffer of my enemies, You that lift me up from the gates of death:14that I may declare all Your praises in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will exult in Your salvation (yeshuatékha).15The heathen are caught in the destruction which they planned: in the very snare which they hid is their foot taken.16Yahuah is known as executing judgments: the sinner is taken in the works of his hands. Ode Diapsalmatos (A Song of Pause).17Let sinners be driven away into She'ol (Hades), even all the nations that forget Elohim.18For the poor shall not be forgotten forever: the patience of the needy ones shall not perish forever.19Arise, O Yahuah, let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged before You.20Appoint, O Yahuah, a lawgiver over them: let the heathen know that they are men. Diapsalma (Pause).21Why stand You afar off, O Yahuah? Why do You overlook us in times of need, in affliction?22While the ungodly one acts proudly; the poor is hotly pursued: the wicked are taken in the crafty counsels which they imagine.23Because the sinner praises himself for the desires of his heart; and the unjust one blesses himself.24The sinner has provoked Yahuah: according to the abundance of his pride he will not seek after Him: Elohim is not before him.25His ways are profane at all times; Your judgments are removed from before him: he will gain the mastery over all his enemies.26For he has said in his heart, “I shall not be moved, continuing without evil from generation to generation.”27Whose mouth is full of cursing, and bitterness, and fraud: under his tongue are trouble and pain.28He lies in wait with rich men in secret places, in order to kill the innocent: his eyes are set against the poor.29He lies in wait in secret as a lion in his den: he lies in wait to ravish the poor, to ravish the poor when he draws him after him: he will bring him down in his snare.30He will bow down and fall when he has mastered the poor.31For he has said in his heart, “Elohim has forgotten: He has turned away His face so as never to look.”32Arise, O Yahuah Elohim; let Your hand be lifted up: forget not the poor.33Therefore, has the wicked provoked Elohim? For he has said in his heart, “He will not require it.”34You see it; for You do observe trouble and wrath, to deliver them into Your hands: the poor has been left to You; You were a helper to the orphan.35Break You the arm of the sinner and wicked man: his sin shall be sought for, and shall not be found.36Yahuah shall reign forever, even forever and ever: you Gentiles (Goyim) shall perish out of His land.37Yahuah has heard the desire of the poor: Your ear has inclined to the preparation of their heart;38to plead for the orphan and afflicted, that man may no more boast upon the earth.

1For the End, a Psalm of David. The fool has said in his heart, “There is no Elohim.” They have corrupted themselves, and become abominable in their devices; there is none that does goodness, there is not even so much as one.2Yahuah looked down from shamayim (heaven) upon the sons of men, to see if there were any that understood, or sought after Elohim.3They are all gone out of the way, they are together become good for nothing, there is none that does good, no not one. Their throat is an open sepulcher; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; their feet are swift to shed blood: destruction and misery are in their ways; and the way of peace they have not known: there is no fear of G before their eyes.4Will not all the workers of iniquity know, who eat up my people as they would eat bread? They have not called upon Yahuah.5There were they alarmed with fear, where there was no fear; for Elohim is in the righteous generation.6You have shamed the counsel of the poor, because Yahuah is his hope.7Who will bring the salvation (yeshuah) of Yisra'el (Israel) out of Zion? When Yahuah brings back the captivity of His people, let Ya'aqov (Jacob) exult, and Yisra'el be glad.

I will by no means assemble their bloody meetings, neither will I make mention of their names with my lips.5Yahuah is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: You are He that restores my inheritance to me.6The lines have fallen to me in the best places, yes, I have a most excellent heritage.7I will bless Yahuah who has instructed me; my reins too have chastened me even till night.8I foresaw Yahuah always before my face; for He is on my right hand, that I should not be moved.9Therefore my heart rejoiced and my tongue exulted; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:10because You will not leave my soul in She'ol (Hades), neither will You suffer Your Holy One to see corruption.11You have made known to me the ways of life; You will fill me with joy with Your countenance: at Your right hand there are delights forever.

1A prayer of David. Hearken, O Yahuah of my righteousness, attend to my petition; give ear to my prayer not uttered with deceitful lips.2Let my judgment come forth from Your presence; let my eyes behold righteousness.3You have tested my heart; You have visited me by night; You have tried me as with fire, and unrighteousness has not been found in me: I am purposed that my mouth shall not speak amiss.4As for the works of men, by the words of Your lips I have guarded myself from hard ways.5Direct my steps in Your paths, that my steps slip not.6I have cried, for You heard me, O El; incline Your ear to me, and listen to my words.7Show the marvels of Your mercies, You that save them that hope in You.8Keep me as the apple of the eye from those that resist Your right hand: You shall screen me by the covering of Your wings,9from the face of the ungodly that have afflicted me: my enemies have compassed about my soul.10They have enclosed themselves with their own fat: their mouth has spoken pride.11They have now cast me out and compassed me round about: they have set their eyes so as to bow them down to the ground.12They laid wait for me as a lion ready for prey, and like a lion's whelp dwelling in secret places.13Arise, O Yahuah, prevent them, and cast them down: deliver my soul from the ungodly: draw Your sword14because of the enemies of Your hand: O Yahuah, destroy them from the earth; scatter them in their life, though their belly has been filled with Your hidden treasures: they have been satisfied with uncleanness (uieiōn), and have left the remnant of their possessions to their babes.15But I shall appear in righteousness before Your face: I shall be satisfied when Your glory appears.

1For the end, a Mizmor (Psalm) of David the Eved (servant) of Adonai; the words which he spoke to Adonai, even the words of this Shir (Song), in the day in which Adonai delivered him out of the hand of all his oyevim (enemies), and out of the hand of Shaul: and he said:2I will love thee, O Adonai, my strength.3Yahuah is my firm support, and my refuge, and my deliverer; Eli (my God) is my helper, I will hope in him; he is my defender, and the keren yeshuati (horn of my salvation), and my helper.4I will call upon Yahuah with praises, and I shall be saved from mine enemies.5The pangs of death compassed me, and the torrents of ungodliness troubled me exceedingly.6The pangs of She'ol (hell) came round about me: the snares of death prevend me.7And when I was afflicted I called upon Yahuah, and cried to Elohai (my God): he heard my voice out of his holy heikhal (temple), and my cry shall enter before him, even into his ears.8Then the earth shook and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains were disturbed, and were shaken, because Elohim was angry with them.9There went up a smoke in his wrath, and fire burst into a flame at his presence: coals were kindled at it.10And he bowed the shamayim (heaven), and came down: and thick darkness was under his feet.11And he mounted on keruvim (cherubs) and flew: he flew on the wings of ruach (winds).12And he made darkness his secret place: round about him was his sukkah (tabernacle), even dark water in the clouds of the air.13At the brightness before him the clouds passed, hail and coals of fire.14Yahuah also thundered from heaven, and Elyon (the Highest) uttered his voice.15And he sent forth his weapons, and scattered them; and multiplied lightnings, and routed them.16And the springs of waters appeared, and the foundations of the world were exposed, at thy rebuke, O Yahuah, at the blasting of the breath of thy wrath.17He sent from on high and took me, he drew me to himself out of many waters.18He will deliver me from my mighty enemies, and from them that hate me; for they are stronger than I.19They prevented me in the day of mine affliction: but Yahuah was my stay against them.20And he brought me out into a wide place: he will deliver me, because he has pleasure in me.21And Yahuah will recompense me according to my tzedakah (righteousness); even according to the purity of my hands will he recompense me.22For I have kept the ways of Yahuah and have not wickedly departed from Elohai.23For all his mishpatim (judgments) were before me, and his chukot (ordinances) departed not from me.24And I shall be tamim (blameless) with him, and shall keep myself from mine avon (iniquity).25And Yahuahshall recompense me according to my tzedakah, and according to the purity of my hands before his eyes.26With the chasid (holy) thou wilt be holy; and with the tamim (innocent) man thou wilt be innocent.27And with the bar (excellent) man thou wilt be excellent; and with the ikkesh (perverse) thou wilt show frowardness.28For thou wilt save the ani (lowly) people, and wilt humble the eyes of the proud.29For thou, O Yahuah , wilt light my lamp: Elohai , thou wilt lighten my darkness.30For by thee shall I be delivered from a gedud (troop); and by Elohai I will pass over a wall.31As for El, his way is tamim (perfect): the imrot (oracles) of Yahuah are tried in the fire; he is a protector of all them that hope in him.32For who is Eloah (God) but Yahuah ? and who is a Tzur (Rock) except Eloheinu (our God)?33It is El that girds me with strength, and has made my way tamim :34who strengthens my feet as harts’ feet, and sets me upon high places.35He instructs my hands for war; and thou hast made my arms as a keshet nechushah (brazen bow).36And thou hast made me secure in thy yeshuah (salvation): and thy right hand has helped me, and thy correction has upheld me to the end; yea, thy correction itself shall instruct me.37Thou hast made room for my goings under me, and my footsteps did not fail.38I will pursue mine enemies, and overtake them; and I will not turn back until they are consumed.39I will dash them to pieces and they shall not be able to stand: they shall fall under my feet.40For thou hast girded me with strength for war: thou hast beaten down under me all that rose up against me.41And thou hast made mine enemies turn their backs before me; and thou hast destroyed them that hated me.42They cried, but there was no deliverer: even to Yahuah , but he hearkened not to them.43I will grind them as the mud of the streets: and I will beat them small as dust before the wind.44Deliver me from the gainsayings of the people: thou shalt make me Rosh (head) of the Goyim (Gentiles): a people whom I knew not served me,45at the hearing of the ear they obeyed me: the strange children lied to me.46The strange children waxed old, and fell away from their paths through lameness.47Yahuah lives; and blessed be Tzuri (my Rock); and let the Elohei yeshuati (God of my salvation) be exalted.48It is El that avenges me, and has subdued the nations under me;49my deliverer from angry enemies: thou shalt set me on high above them that rise up against me: thou shalt deliver me from the ish chamas (unrighteous man).50Therefore will I confess to thee, O Yahuah, among the Goyim, and sing to Shimecha (thy name).51Elohim magnifies the deliverances of his Melech (king); and deals mercifully with David his Mashiach (anointed), and his zera (seed), le'olam (forever).

1For the End, a Psalm of David. The shamayim (heavens) declare the glory of El; and the firmament proclaims the work of His hands.2Day to day utters speech, and night to night proclaims knowledge.3There are no speeches or words, in which their voices are not heard.4Their voice is gone out into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.5In the sun He has set His tabernacle; and he comes forth as a bridegroom out of his chamber: he will exult as a giant to run his course.6His going forth is from the extremity of shamayim, and his circuit to the other end of shamayim: and no one shall be hidden from his heat.7The Torah of Yahuah is perfect, converting souls: the testimony of Yahuah is faithful, instructing babes.8The ordinances of Yahuah are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of Yahuah is bright, enlightening the eyes.9The fear of Yahuah is pure, enduring forever and ever: the judgments of Yahuah are true, and justified altogether.10To be desired more than gold, and much precious stone: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.11For Your servant keeps to them: in the keeping of them there is great reward.12Who will understand his transgressions? Purge You me from my secret sins.13And spare Your servant the attack of strangers: if they do not gain the dominion over me, then shall I be blameless, and I shall be clear from great sin.14So shall the sayings of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be pleasing continually before You, O Yahuah my Helper, and my Redeemer (go'aliy).

1For the End, a Psalm of David. O Yahuah, the King shall rejoice in Your strength; and in Your salvation (yeshuah) he shall greatly exult.2You have granted him the desire of his soul, and have not withheld from him the request of his lips. Diapsalma (Pause).3For You have prevented him with blessings of goodness: You have set upon his head a crown of precious stone.4He asked life of You, and You gave him length of days forever and ever.5His glory is great in Your salvation: You will crown him with glory and majesty.6For You will give him a blessing forever and ever: You will gladden him with joy with Your countenance.7For the King trusts in Yahuah, and through the mercy of the Elyon (Highest) he shall not be moved.8Let Your hand be found by all Your enemies: let Your right hand find all that hate You.9You shall make them as a fiery oven at the time of Your presence: Yahuah shall trouble them in His anger, and fire shall devour them.10You shall destroy their fruit from the earth, and their seed from amongst the sons of men.11For they intended evils against You; they imagined a device which they shall by no means be able to perform.12For You shall make them turn their back in Your latter end; You will prepare their face.13Be You exalted, O Yahuah, in Your strength: we will sing and praise Your mighty acts.

1For the End, concerning the morning aid (ayelet ha-shachar), a Psalm of David. O Elohim, my Elohim, attend to me: why have You forsaken me? The account of my transgressions is far from my salvation (יְשׁוּעָתִיyeshu'ati)2O my Elohim, I will cry to You by day, but You will not hear: and by night, and it shall not be accounted for folly to me.3But You, the praise of Yisra’el (Israel), dwell in a Sanctuary.4Our fathers hoped in You; they hoped, and You did deliver them.5They cried to You, and were saved: they hoped in You, and were not ashamed.6But I am a worm, and not a man; a reproach of men, and scorn of the people.7All that saw me mocked me: they spoke with their lips, they shook the head, saying,8“He hoped in Yahuah: let Him deliver him, let Him save him, because He takes pleasure in him.”9For You are He that drew me out of the womb; my hope from my mother's breasts.10I was cast on You from the womb: You are my Elohim from my mother's belly.11Stand not aloof from me; for affliction is near; for there is no helper.12Many bullocks have compassed me: fat bulls have beset me round.13They have opened their mouth against me, as a ravening and roaring lion.14I am poured out like water, and all my bones are loosened: my heart in the midst of my belly is become like melting wax.15My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue is glued to my throat; and You have brought me down to the dust of death.16For many dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked doers has beset me round: they pierced my hands and my feet.17They counted all my bones; and they observed and looked upon me.18They parted my garments (בֶּגֶד béged) amongst themselves, and cast lots upon my raiment.19But You, O Yahuah, remove not my help afar off: be ready for my aid.20Deliver my soul from the sword; my only-begotten one (tēn monogenē mou) from the power of the dog.21Save me from the lion's mouth; and regard my lowliness from the horns of the unicorns.22I will declare Your name to my brethren: in the midst of the Kahal (Church / Assembly) will I sing praise to You.23You that fear Yahuah, praise Him; all you seed of Ya’aqov (Jacob), glorify Him: let all the seed of Yisra’el fear Him.24For He has not despised nor been angry at the supplication of the poor; nor turned away His face from me; but when I cried to Him, He heard me.25My praise is of You in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear Him.26The poor shall eat and be satisfied; and they shall praise Yahuah that seek Him: their heart shall live forever.27All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to Yahuah: and all the kindred of the nations shall worship before Him.28For the kingdom is Yahuah's; and He is the Governor of the nations.29All the fat ones of the earth have eaten and worshiped: all that go down to the earth shall fall down before Him: my soul also lives to Him.30And my seed shall serve Him: the generation that is coming shall be reported to Adonai.31And they shall report His righteousness to the people that shall be born, whom Yahuah has made.

To You, O Yahuah, have I lifted up my soul.2O my Elohim, I have trusted in You: let me not be confounded, neither let my enemies laugh me to scorn.3For none of them that wait on You shall in any wise be ashamed: let them be ashamed that transgress without cause.4Show me Your ways, O Yahuah; and teach me Your paths.5Lead me in Your truth, and teach me: for You are Elohim my Savior; and I have waited on You all the day.6Remember Your compassions, O Yahuah, and Your mercies, for they are from everlasting.7Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my sins of ignorance: remember me according to Your mercy, for Your goodness' sake, O Yahuah.8Good and upright is Yahuah: therefore, will He instruct sinners in the way.9The meek will He guide in judgment: the meek will He teach His ways.10All the ways of Yahuah are mercy and truth to them that seek His Covenant and His testimonies.11For Your name's sake, O Yahuah, do You also be merciful to my sin; for it is great.12Who is the man that fears Yahuah? He shall instruct him in the way which He has chosen.13His soul shall dwell in prosperity; and his seed shall inherit the eretz.14Yahuah is the strength of them that fear Him; and His Covenant is to manifest truth to them.15My eyes are continually to Yahuah; for He shall draw my feet out of the snare.16Look upon me, and have mercy upon me; for I am an only child (monogenēs) and poor.17The afflictions of my heart have been multiplied; deliver me from my distresses.18Look upon my affliction and my trouble; and forgive all my sins.19Look upon my enemies; for they have been multiplied; and they have hated me with unjust hatred.20Keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I have hoped in You.21The harmless and upright joined themselves to me: for I waited for You, O Yahuah.22Deliver Yisra’el, O Elohim, out of all his afflictions.

1A Psalm of David, before he was anointed (pro tou christhēnai). Yahuah is my Light and my Savior (sōtēr mou); whom shall I fear? Yahuah is the Defender of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?2When evil-doers drew near against me to eat up my flesh, my persecutors and my enemies, they fainted and fell.3Though an army should set itself in array against me, my heart shall not be afraid: though war should rise up against me, in this am I confident.4One thing have I asked of Yahuah, this will I earnestly seek: that I should dwell in the house of Yahuah all the days of my life, that I should behold the fair beauty of Yahuah, and survey His Temple.5For in the day of my afflictions He hid me in His Tabernacle: He sheltered me in the secret of His Tabernacle; He set me up on a rock.6And now, behold, He has lifted up my head over my enemies: I went round and offered in His Tabernacle the sacrifice of joy; I will sing, even sing psalms to Yahuah.7Hear, O Yahuah, my voice which I have uttered aloud: pity me, and hearken to me.8My heart said to You, “I have diligently sought Your face:” Your face, O Yahuah, I will seek.9Turn not Your face away from me, turn not You away from Your servant in anger: be You my helper, forsake me not; and, O Elohim my Savior, overlook me not.10For my father and my mother have forsaken me, but Yahuah has taken me to himself.11Teach me, O Yahuah, in Your way, and guide me in a right path, because of my enemies.12Deliver me not over to the desire of them that afflict me; for unjust witnesses have risen up against me, and injustice has lied within herself (epsysato hē adikia heautē).13I believe that I shall see the goodness of Yahuah in the land of the living.14Wait on Yahuah: be of good courage, and let your heart be strengthened: yes, wait on Yahuah.

Shall the dust give praise to You?

The Outcry of Extreme Fear: The Entrusting of the Spirit and the Hidden Shelter from Arrogant Tongues

1For the End, a Psalm of David, an utterance of extreme fear (ekstaseōs). O Yahuah, I have hoped in You; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in Your righteousness and rescue me.2Incline Your ear to me; make haste to rescue me: be You to me for a protecting Elohim, and for a house of refuge to save me.3For You are my strength and my refuge; and You shall guide me for Your name's sake, and maintain me.4You shall bring me out of the snare which they have hidden for me; for You, O Yahuah, are my defender.5Into Your hands I will commit my spirit: You have redeemed me, O Yahuah, El of truth.6You have hated them that idly persist in vanities: but I have hoped in Yahuah.7I will exult and be glad in Your mercy: for You have looked upon my affliction; You have saved my soul from distresses.8And You have not shut me up into the hands of the enemy: You have set my feet in a wide place.9Pity me, O Yahuah, for I am afflicted: my eye is troubled with indignation, my soul, and my belly.10For my life is spent with grief, and my years with groanings: my strength has been weakened through poverty, and my bones are troubled.11I became a reproach amongst all my enemies, but exceedingly so to my neighbors, and a fear to my acquaintance: they that saw me without fled from me.12I have been forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am become as a broken vessel.13For I heard the slander of many that lived round about: when they were gathered together against me, they took counsel to take my life.14But I hoped in You, O Yahuah: I said, “You are my Elohim.”15My lots are in Your hands: deliver me from the hand of my enemies,16and from them that persecute me. Make Your face to shine upon Your servant: save me in Your mercy.17O Yahuah, let me not be ashamed, for I have called upon You: let the ungodly be ashamed, and brought down to She'ol.18Let the deceitful lips become dumb, which speak iniquity against the righteous with pride and scorn.19How abundant is the multitude of Your goodness, O Yahuah, which You have laid up for them that fear You! You have wrought it out for them that hope on You, in the presence of the sons of men.20You will hide them in the secret of Your presence from the vexation of man: You will screen them in a tabernacle from the contradiction of tongues.21Blessed be Yahuah: for He has magnified His mercy in a fortified city.22But I said in my extreme fear, “I am cast out from the sight of Your eyes:” therefore You did hearken, O Yahuah, to the voice of my supplication when I cried to You.23Love Yahuah, all you His saints: for Yahuah seeks for truth, and renders a reward to them that deal very proudly.24Be of good courage, and let your heart be strengthened, all you that hope in Yahuah.

1A Psalm of instruction (Maskil) by David. Blessed are they whose transgressions are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.2Blessed is the man to whom Yahuah will not impute sin, and in whose mouth there is no guile.3Because I kept silence, my bones waxed old, from my crying all the day.4For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me: I became thoroughly miserable while a thorn was fastened in me. Diapsalma (Pause).5I acknowledged my sin, and hid not my iniquity: I said, “I will confess my iniquity to Yahuah against myself;” and You forgave the ungodliness of my heart. Diapsalma (Pause).6Therefore shall every holy one pray to You in a fit time: only in the deluge of many waters they shall not come near to him.7You are my refuge from the affliction that encompasses me; my joy, to deliver me from them that have compassed me. Diapsalma (Pause).8I will instruct you and guide you in this way wherein you shall go: I will fix My eyes upon you.9Be you not as horse and mule, which have no understanding; but you must constrain their jaws with bit and curb, lest they should come near to you.10Many are the scourges of the sinner: but him that hopes in Yahuah, mercy shall compass about.11Be glad in Yahuah, and exult, you righteous: and glory, all you that are upright in heart.

1Rejoice in Yahuah, you righteous; praise becomes the upright.2Praise Yahuah on the harp; play to Him on a lute of ten strings.3Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully with a loud noise.4For the word of Yahuah is right; and all His works are faithful.5He loves mercy and judgment; the earth is full of the mercy of Yahuah.6By the word of Yahuah the heavens were established; and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.7Who gathers the waters of the sea as in a bottle; who lays up the deeps in treasuries.8Let all the earth fear Yahuah; and let all that dwell in the world be moved because of Him.9For He spoke, and they were made; He commanded, and they were created.10Yahuah frustrates the counsels of the nations; He brings to nothing also the reasonings of the peoples, and brings to nothing the counsels of princes.11But the counsel of Yahuah endures forever, the thoughts of His heart from generation to generation.12Blessed is the nation whose Elohim is Yahuah—the people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance.13Yahuah looks out of heaven; He beholds all the sons of men.14He looks from His prepared habitation on all the dwellers on the earth;15who fashioned their hearts alone; who understands all their works.16A king is not saved by reason of a great host; and a giant shall not be delivered by the greatness of his strength.17A horse is vain for safety; neither shall he be delivered by the greatness of his power.18Behold, the eyes of Yahuah are on them that fear Him, those that hope in His mercy;19to deliver their souls from death, and to keep them alive in famine.20Our soul waits on Yahuah; for He is our helper and defender.21For our heart shall rejoice in Him, and we have hoped in His holy name.22Let Your mercy, O Yahuah, be upon us, according as we have hoped in You.

The Liturgy of the Altered Countenance: The Guarding Angel, the Contrite Heart, and the Unbroken Bones of the Tzaddik

1A Psalm of David, when he changed his countenance before Avimelekh (Abimelech); and he let him go, and he departed. I will bless Yahuah at all times: His praise shall be continually in my mouth.2My soul shall boast herself in Yahuah: let the meek hear, and rejoice.3Magnify you Yahuah with me, and let us exalt His name together.4I sought Yahuah diligently, and He listened to me, and delivered me from all my sojournings.5Draw near to Him, and be enlightened: and your faces shall not by any means be ashamed.6This poor man cried, and Yahuah listened to him, and delivered him out of all his afflictions.7The Angel of Yahuah will encamp round about them that fear Him, and will deliver them.8Taste and see that Yahuah is good: blessed is the man who hopes in Him.9Fear Yahuah, all you His saints (Qodeshim): for there is no lack to them that fear Him.10The rich have become poor and hungry: but they that seek Yahuah diligently shall not lack any good thing. Diapsalma (Pause).11Come, you children, hear me: I will teach you the fear of Yahuah.12What man is there that desires life, loving to see good days?13Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking guile.14Turn away from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.15The eyes of Yahuah are over the righteous, and His ears are open to their prayer:16but the face of Yahuah is against them that do evil, to destroy their memorial from the earth. The righteous cried, and Yahuah listened to them,17and delivered them out of all their afflictions.18Yahuah is near to them that are of a contrite heart; and will save the lowly in spirit.19Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but out of them all Yahuah will deliver them.20He keeps all their bones: not one of them shall be broken.21The death of sinners is evil: and they that hate righteousness will go wrong (plemmelēsousin).22Yahuah will redeem the souls of his servants: and none of those that hope in him shall go wrong.

The Imprecatory Liturgy of the Divine Warrior: Unjust Witnesses, the Only-Begotten Inheritance, and the Judgment of Great Swelling Words
1.0×
1A Psalm of David. Judge You, O Yahuah, them that injure me; fight against them that fight against me.2Take hold of shield and buckler, and arise for my help.3Bring forth a sword, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say to my soul, “I am your salvation (yeshuah).”4Let them that seek my soul be ashamed and confounded: let them that devise evils against me be turned back and put to shame.5Let them be as dust before the wind, and an Angel of Yahuah afflicting them.6Let their way be dark and slippery, and an Angel of Yahuah persecuting them.7For without cause they have hid for me their destructive snare: without a cause they have reproached my soul.8Let a snare which they know not come upon them; and the gin which they hid take them; and let them fall into the very same snare.9But my soul shall exult in Yahuah: it shall delight in His salvation.10All my bones shall say, “O Yahuah, who is like to You? Delivering the poor out of the hand of them that are stronger than he, yes, the poor and needy one from them that spoil him.”11Unjust witnesses arose, and asked me of things I knew not.12They rewarded me evil for good, and bereavement to my soul.13But I, when they troubled me, put on sackcloth, and humbled my soul with fasting: and my prayer shall return to my own bosom.14I behaved agreeably towards them as if it had been our neighbor or brother: I humbled myself as one mourning and sad of countenance.15Yet they rejoiced against me, and plagues were plentifully brought against me, and I knew it not: they were scattered, but repented not.16They tempted me, they sneered at me most contemptuously, they gnashed their teeth upon me.17O Adonai, when will You look upon me? Deliver my soul from their mischief, my only-begotten one (tēn monogenē mou) from the lions.18I will give thanks to You even in a great congregation: in an abundant people I will praise You.19Let not them that are my enemies without a cause rejoice against me; who hate me for nothing, and wink with their eyes.20For to me they spoke peaceably, but imagined deceits in their anger.21And they opened wide their mouth upon me; they said, “Aha, aha, our eyes have seen it.”22You have seen it, O Yahuah: keep not silence: O Adonai, withdraw not Yourself from me.23Awake, O Yahuah, and attend to my judgment, even to my cause, my Elohim and my Adonai.24Judge me, O Yahuah, according to Your righteousness, O Yahuah my Elohim; and let them not rejoice against me.25Let them not say in their hearts, “Aha, aha, it is pleasing to our soul;” neither let them say, “We have devoured him.”26Let them be confounded and ashamed together that rejoice at my afflictions: let them be clothed with shame and confusion that speak great swelling words against me.27Let them that rejoice in my righteousness exult and be glad: and let them say continually, “Yahuah be magnified, who desire the peace of His servant.”28And my tongue shall meditate on Your righteousness, and on Your praise all the day.

1For the End, by David the servant of Yahuah. The transgressor, that he may sin, says within himself, that there is no fear of Elohim before his eyes.2For he has dealt craftily before Him, to discover his iniquity and hate it (tou heurhein tēn adikian autou kai misēsai).3The words of his mouth are transgression and deceit: he is not inclined to understand how to do good.4He devises iniquity on his bed; he gives himself to every evil way; and does not abhor evil.5O Yahuah, Your mercy is in the heaven; and Your truth reaches to the clouds.6Your righteousness is as the mountains of Elohim, Your judgments are as a great deep: O Yahuah, You will preserve men and beasts.7How have You multiplied Your mercy, O Elohim! So, the children of men shall trust in the shelter of Your wings.8They shall be fully satisfied with the fatness of Your house; and You shall cause them to drink of the full stream of Your delights.9For with You is the fountain of life: in Your light we shall see light.10Extend Your mercy to them that know You; and Your righteousness to the upright in heart.11Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of sinners move me.12There have all the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast out, and shall not be able to stand.

1A Psalm of David. Fret not yourself because of evil-doers, neither be envious of them that do iniquity.2For they shall soon be withered as the grass, and shall soon fall away as the green herbs.3Hope in Yahuah, and do good; and dwell on the land, and you shall be fed with the wealth of it.4Delight yourself in Yahuah; and He shall grant you the requests of your heart.5Disclose your way to Yahuah, and hope in Him; and He shall bring it to pass.6And He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your judgment as the noonday.7Submit yourself to Yahuah, and supplicate Him: fret not yourself because of him that prospers in his way, at the man that does unlawful deeds.8Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not yourself so as to do evil.9For evil-doers shall be destroyed: but they that wait on Yahuah, they shall inherit the land.10And yet a little while, and the sinner shall not be, and you shall seek for his place, and shall not find it.11But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.12The sinner will watch for the righteous, and gnash his teeth upon him.13But Adonai shall laugh at him: for He foresees that his day will come.14Sinners have drawn their swords, they have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy one, and to kill the upright in heart.15Let their sword enter into their own heart, and their bows be broken.16A little is better to the righteous than abundant wealth of sinners.17For the arms of sinners shall be broken; but Yahuah supports the righteous.18Yahuah knows the ways of the perfect; and their inheritance shall be forever.19They shall not be ashamed in an evil time; and in days of famine they shall be satisfied.20For the sinners shall perish; and the enemies of Yahuah at the moment of their being honored and exalted have utterly vanished like smoke.21The sinner borrows, and will not pay again: but the righteous has compassion, and gives.22For they that bless Him shall inherit the earth; and they that curse Him shall be utterly destroyed.23The steps of a man are rightly ordered by Yahuah: and He will take pleasure in his way.24When he falls, he shall not be ruined: for Yahuah supports his hand.25I was once young; indeed, I am now old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed seeking bread.26He is merciful, and lends continually; and his seed shall be blessed.27Turn aside from evil, and do good; and dwell forever.28For Yahuah loves judgment, and will not forsake His saints (Qodeshim); they shall be preserved forever: the blameless shall be avenged (amōmoi ekdikēthēshontai), but the seed of the ungodly shall be utterly destroyed.29But the righteous shall inherit the earth, and dwell upon it forever.30The mouth of the righteous will meditate wisdom, and his tongue will speak of judgment.31The Torah of his God is in his heart; and his steps shall not slide.32The sinner watches the righteous, and seeks to slay him.33But Yahuah will not leave him in his hands, nor by any means condemn him when he is judged.34Wait on Yahuah, and keep His way, and He shall exalt you to inherit the land: when the wicked are destroyed, you shall see it.35I saw the ungodly very highly exalting himself, and lifting himself up like the cedars of Lebanon (Libanus).36Yet I passed by, and behold! He was not: and I sought him, but his place was not found.37Maintain innocence, and behold uprightness: for there is a remnant to the peaceful man.38But the transgressors shall be utterly destroyed together: the remnants of the ungodly shall be utterly destroyed.39But the salvation (yeshuah) of the righteous is of Yahuah; and He is their defender in the time of affliction.40And Yahuah shall help them, and deliver them: and He shall rescue them from sinners, and save them, because they have hoped in Him.

The Sabbath Remembrancer: The Weighty Burden of Transgression, the Mockery of the Soul, and the Deaf Man’s Protocol

1A Psalm of David for remembrance concerning the Sabbath day (sabbatou). O Yahuah, rebuke me not in Your wrath, neither chasten me in Your anger.2For Your weapons are fixed in me, and You have pressed Your hand heavily upon me.3For there is no health in my flesh because of Your anger; there is no peace to my bones because of my sins.4For my transgressions have gone over my head: they have pressed heavily upon me like a weighty burden.5My bruises have become noisome and corrupt, because of my foolishness.6I have been wretched and bowed down continually: I went with a mourning countenance all the day.7For my soul is filled with mockings (empaigmatōn); and there is no health in my flesh.8I have been afflicted and brought down exceedingly: I have roared for the groaning of my heart.9But all my desire is before You; and my groaning is not hidden from You.10My heart is troubled, my strength has failed me; and the light of my eyes is not with me.11My friends and my neighbors drew near before me, and stood still; and my nearest of kin stood afar off.12While they pressed hard upon me that sought my soul: and they that sought my hurt spoke vanities, and devised deceits all the day.13But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and was as a dumb man not opening his mouth.14And I was as a man that hears not, and who has no reproofs in his mouth.15For I hoped in You, O Yahuah: You will hear, O Yahuah my Elohim.16For I said, “Lest my enemies rejoice against me:” for when my feet were moved, they spoke boastingly against me.17For I am ready for plagues (mastigas), and my grief is continually before me.18For I will declare my iniquity, and be distressed for my sin.19But my enemies live, and are mightier than I: and they that hate me unjustly are multiplied.20They that reward evil for good slandered me, because I followed righteousness.21Forsake me not, O Yahuah my Elohim: depart not from me.22Draw near to my help, O Yahuah of my salvation (yeshuatiy).

1For the End, a Song of David, to Yeduthun (Idithun). I said, “I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I set a guard on my mouth, while the sinner stood in my presence.”2I was dumb, and humbled myself, and kept silence from good words; and my grief was renewed.3My heart grew hot within me, and a fire would kindle in my meditation: I spoke with my tongue,4“O Yahuah, make me to know my end, and the number of my days, what it is; that I may know what I lack.5Behold, You have made my days old; and my existence is as nothing before You: nay, every man living is altogether vanity.” Diapsalma (Pause).6Surely man walks in a shadow (image); nay, he is disquieted in vain: he lays up treasures, and knows not for whom he shall gather them.7And now what is my expectation? Is it not Yahuah? And my ground of hope is with You. Diapsalma (Pause).8Deliver me from all my transgressions: You have made me a reproach to the foolish.9I was dumb, and opened not my mouth; for You are He that made me.10Remove Your scourges from me: I have fainted by reason of the strength of Your hand.11You chasten man with rebukes for iniquity, and you make his life to consume away like a spider’s web; nay, every man is disquieted in vain. Diapsalma (Pause).12O Yahuah, listen to my prayer and my supplication: attend to my tears: be not silent, for I am a sojourner in the land, and a stranger, as all my fathers were.13Spare me, that I may be refreshed, before I depart, and be no more.

1For the End, a Psalm of David. I waited patiently for Yahuah; and He attended to me, and listened to my supplication.2And He brought me up out of a pit of misery, and from miry clay: and He set my feet on a rock, and ordered my goings aright.3And He put a new song into my mouth, even a hymn to our Elohim: many shall see it, and fear, and shall hope in Yahuah.4Blessed is the man whose hope is in the name of Yahuah, and who has not regarded vanities and false frenzies.5O Yahuah my Elohim, You have multiplied Your wonderful works, and in Your thoughts, there is none who shall be likened to You: I declared and spoke of them: they exceeded number.6Sacrifice and offering You would not; but a body have You prepared me: whole burnt offering and sacrifice for sin You did not require.7Then I said, “Behold, I come: in the volume of the book it is written concerning me,8I desired to do Your will, O my Elohim, and Your Torah in the midst of my heart.”9I have preached righteousness in the great congregation; behold! I will not refrain my lips; O Yahuah, You know my righteousness.10I have not hid Your truth within my heart, and I have declared Your salvation (yeshuah); I have not hid Your mercy and Your truth from the great congregation.11But You, Yahuah, remove not Your compassion far from me; Your mercy and Your truth have helped me continually.12For innumerable evils have encompassed me; my transgressions have taken hold of me, and I could not see; they are multiplied more than the hairs of my head; and my heart has failed me.13Be pleased, O Yahuah, to deliver me; O Yahuah, draw near to help me.14Let those that seek my soul, to destroy it, be ashamed and confounded together; let those that wish me evil be turned backward and put to shame.15Let those that say to me, “Aha, aha,” quickly receive shame for their reward.16Let all those that seek You, O Yahuah, exult and rejoice in You; and let them that love Your salvation say continually, “Yahuah be magnified.”17But I am poor and needy; Adonai will take care of me; You are my helper and my defender, O my Elohim, delay not.

Blessed is the man who thinks on the poor and needy: Yahuah shall deliver him in an evil day.2May Yahuah preserve him and keep him alive, and bless him on the earth, and not deliver him into the hands of his enemy.3May Yahuah help him upon the bed of his pain; You have made all his bed in his sickness.4I said, “O Yahuah, have mercy upon me; heal my soul; for I have sinned against You.”5My enemies have spoken evil against me, saying, “When shall he die, and his name perish?”6And if he came to see me, his heart spoke vainly; he gathered iniquity to himself; he went forth and spoke in like manner.7All my enemies whispered against me; against me they devised my hurt.8They denounced a wicked word against me, saying, “Now that he lies, shall he not rise up again?”9For even the man of my peace, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, lifted up his heel against me.10But You, O Yahuah, have compassion upon me, and raise me up, and I shall requite them.11By this I know that You have delighted in me, because my enemy shall not rejoice over me.12But You did help me because of my innocence, and have established me before You forever.13Blessed be Yahuah, Elohim of Yisra’el (Israel), from everlasting, and to everlasting. So be it, so be it (Amen, Amen).

And therefore, do you trouble me? Hope in Elohim; for I will give thanks to Him; He is the salvation (yeshuah) of my countenance.6O my Elohim, my soul has been troubled within me: therefore, will I remember You from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites (Ermonites), from the little hill.7Deep calls to deep at the voice of Your cataracts (floodgates): all Your billows and Your waves have gone over me.8By day Yahuah will command His mercy, and manifest it by night: with me is prayer to the Elohim of my life.9I will say to Elohim, “You are my helper; why have You forgotten me? Therefore, do I go sad of countenance, while the enemy oppresses me?”10While my bones were breaking, they that afflicted me reproached me; while they said to me daily, “Where is your Elohim?”11Therefore, are you very sad, O my soul?

1For the End, a Psalm for instruction (Maskil), for the sons of Korach (Core). O Elohim, we have heard with our ears, our fathers have told us, the work which You wrought in their days, in the days of old.2Your hand utterly destroyed the heathen, and You did plant them; You did afflict the nations, and cast them out.3For they inherited not the land by their own sword, and their own arm did not deliver them; but Your right hand, and Your arm, and the light of Your countenance, because You were well-pleased in them.4You are indeed my King and my Elohim, who command deliverances for Ya’aqov (Jacob).5In You will we push down our enemies, and in Your name will we bring to nothing them that rise up against us.6For I will not trust in my bow, and my sword shall not save me.7For You have saved us from them that afflicted us, and have put to shame them that hated us.8In Elohim will we make our boast all the day, and to Your name will we give thanks forever. Diapsalma (Pause).9But now You have cast off, and put us to shame; and You will not go forth with our hosts.10You have turned us back before our enemies; and they that hated us spoiled for themselves.11You made us as sheep for meat; and You scattered us amongst the nations.12You have sold Your people without price, and there was no profit by their exchange.13You have made us a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.14You have made us a proverb amongst the Gentiles, a shaking of the head amongst the nations.15All the day my shame is before me, and the confusion of my face has covered me,16because of the voice of the slanderer and reviler; because of the enemy and avenger.17All these things are come upon us: but we have not forgotten You, neither have we dealt unrighteously in Your Covenant.18And our heart has not gone back; but You have turned aside our paths from Your way.19For You have laid us low in a place of affliction, and the shadow of death has covered us.20If we have forgotten the name of our Elohim, and if we have spread out our hands to a strange god;21shall not Elohim search these things out? For He knows the secrets of the heart.22For, for Your sake we are killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for slaughter.23Awake, therefore sleep You, O Adonai? Arise, and do not cast us off forever.24Therefore turn You Your face away, and forget our poverty and our affliction?25For our soul has been brought down to the dust; our belly has cleaved to the earth.26Arise, O Yahuah, help us, and redeem us for Your name's sake.

1A Psalm of praise for the sons of Korach on the second of the week (deutera sabbatou).[10] Great is Yahuah, and greatly to be praised in the city of our Elohim, in His holy mountain.2The city of the Great King is well planted on the mountains of Zion, with the joy of the whole earth, on the sides of the north.3Elohim is known in her palaces, when He undertakes to help her.4For, behold, the kings of the earth were assembled, they came together.5They saw, and so they wondered: they were troubled, they were moved.6Trembling took hold on them: there were the pangs as of a woman in travail.7You will break the ships of Tarshish (Tharsis) with a vehement wind.8As we have heard, so have we also seen, in the city of Yahuah Tzeva'ot, in the city of our Elohim: Elohim has founded it forever. Diapsalma (Pause).9We have thought of Your mercy, O Elohim, in the midst of Your people.10According to Your name, O Elohim, so is also Your praise to the ends of the earth: Your right hand is full of righteousness.11Let Mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Yehudah (Judaea) exult, because of Your judgments, O Yahuah.12Go round about Zion, and encompass her: tell you her towers.13Mark you well her strength, and observe her palaces; that you may tell the next generation.14For this is our Elohim forever and ever: He will be our guide forevermore.

The Harp Riddle of Mortals: The Bankruptcy of Earthly Wealth and Immunity from the Power of She'ol
1.0×
1For the End, a Psalm for the sons of Korach. Hear these words, all you nations; hearken, all you that dwell upon the earth:2both the sons of mean men, and sons of great men; the rich and poor man together.3My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall bring forth understanding.4I will incline my ear to a parable: I will open my riddle on the harp.5Therefore should I fear in the evil day? The iniquity of my heel shall compass me.6They that trust in their strength, and boast themselves in the multitude of their wealth—7A brother does not redeem, shall a man redeem? He shall not give to Elohim a ransom for himself,8or the price of the redemption of his soul, though he labor forever,9and live to the end, so that he should not see corruption (decay).10When he shall see wise men dying, the fool and the senseless one shall perish together; and they shall leave their wealth to strangers.11And their sepulchers are their houses forever, even their tabernacles to all generations: they have called their lands after their own names.12And man being in honor, understands not: he is compared to the senseless cattle, and is like to them.13This their way is an offense to them: yet afterwards men will commend their sayings. Diapsalma (Pause).14They have laid them as sheep in She'ol (Hades); death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning, and their help shall fail in She'ol from their glory.15But Elohim shall deliver my soul from the power of She'ol (Hades), when He shall receive me. Diapsalma (Pause).16Fear not when a man is enriched, and when the glory of his house is increased.17For he shall take nothing when he dies; neither shall his glory descend with him.18For his soul shall be blessed in his life: he shall give thanks to you when you do well to him.19Yet he shall go in to the generation of his fathers; he shall never see light.20Man that is in honor, understands not: he is compared to the senseless cattle, and is like them.

The Assize of the Sovereign Judge: The Tempest of Fire, the Sacrificial Covenant, and the Indictment of the Lawless Reciter
1.0×
1A Psalm for Asaph. The El of gods, Yahuah, has spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun to the going down thereof.2Out of Zion comes the excellence of His beauty.3Our Elohim shall come manifestly, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall be kindled before Him, and round about Him there shall be a very great tempest.4He shall summon the heaven above, and the earth, that He may judge His people.5“Assemble you His saints (Qodeshim) to Him, those that have engaged in a Covenant with Him upon sacrifices.”6And the heavens shall declare His righteousness: for Elohim is Judge. Diapsalma (Pause).7“Hear, My people, and I will speak to you, O Yisra’el (Israel): and I will testify to you: I am Elohim, your Elohim.8I will not reprove you on account of your sacrifices; for your whole burnt offerings are before Me continually.9I will take no bullocks out of your house, nor he-goats out of your flocks.10For all the wild beasts of the thicket are Mine, the cattle on the mountains, and oxen.11I know all the birds of the sky; and the beauty of the field is Mine.12If I should be hungry, I will not tell you: for the world is Mine, and the fullness of it.13Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?14Offer to Elohim the sacrifice of praise; and pay your vows to the Elyon (Most High).15And call upon Me in the day of affliction; and I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.” Diapsalma (Pause).16But to the sinner Elohim has said, “Why do you declare My ordinances, and take up My Covenant in your mouth?17Whereas you have hated instruction (paideian), and have cast My words behind you.18If you saw a thief, you ran along with him, and have cast in your lot with adulterers.19Your mouth has multiplied wickedness, and your tongue has framed deceit.20You did sit and speak against your brother, and did scandalize your mother's son.21These things you did, and I kept silence: you thought wickedly that I should be like you, but I will reprove you, and set your offenses before you.22Now consider these things, you that forget Elohim, lest He rend you, and there is no deliverer.23The sacrifice of praise will glorify Me: and that is the way wherein I will show to him the salvation of God (to sōtērion tou theou).”

The Miserere Liturgy: The Secret Wisdom Reveal, the Clean Heart Restoration, and the Broken Spirit Cultus
1.0×
1For the End, a Psalm of David, when Natan the prophet came to him, when he had gone to Beer-sheba (Bersabee). Have mercy upon me, O Elohim, according to Your great mercy; and according to the multitude of Your compassions blot out my transgression.2Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.3For I am conscious of my iniquity; and my sin is continually before me.4Against You only have I sinned, and done evil before You: that You might be justified in Your sayings, and might overcome when You are judged.5For, behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and in sins did my mother conceive me.6For, behold, You love truth: You have manifested to me the secret and hidden things of Your wisdom.7You shall sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be purified: You shall wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.8You shall cause me to hear gladness and joy: the afflicted bones shall rejoice.9Turn away Your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.10Create in me a clean heart, O Elohim; and renew a right spirit in my inward parts.11Cast me not away from Your presence; and remove not Your Holy Spirit (Ruach HaQodesh) from me.12Restore to me the joy of Your salvation (yeshua): establish me with Your directing Spirit.13Then will I teach transgressors Your ways; and ungodly men shall turn to You.14Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, OElohim, the Elohim of my salvation: and my tongue shall joyfully declare Your righteousness.15O Adonai, You shall open my lips; and my mouth shall declare Your praise.16For if You desired sacrifice, I would have given it: You will not take pleasure in whole burnt offerings.17Sacrifice to Elohim is a broken spirit: a broken and humbled heart Elohim will not despise.18Do good, O Adonai, to Zion in Your good pleasure; and let the walls of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) be built.19Then shall You be pleased with a sacrifice of righteousness, offering, and whole burnt sacrifices: then shall they offer calves upon Your altar.

The Razor Tongue of the Edomite Informer: The Uprooting of the Deceitful and the Fruitful Olive Canopy

1For the End, a Psalm of instruction (Maskil) by David, when Doeg the Idumean (Edomite) came and told Sha’ul (Saul), and said to him, “David is gone to the house of Achimelekh (Abimelech).” Why do you, O mighty man, boast of iniquity in your mischief? All the day2your tongue has devised unrighteousness; like a sharpened razor you have wrought deceit.3You have loved wickedness more than goodness; unrighteousness better than to speak righteousness. Diapsalma (Pause).4You have loved all words of destruction, and a deceitful tongue.5Therefore may Elohim destroy you forever, may He pluck you up and utterly remove you from your dwelling, and your root from the land of the living. Diapsalma (Pause).6And the righteous shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him, and say,7“Behold the man who made not Elohim his help; but trusted in the abundance of his wealth, and strengthened himself in his vanity.”8But I am as a fruitful olive tree in the house of Elohim: I have trusted in the mercy of Elohim forever, even forevermore.9I will give thanks to You forever, for You have done it: and I will wait on Your name; for it is good before the saints (Qodeshim).

1For the End, a Psalm of David upon Mahalath (Maeleth), of instruction (Maskil). The fool has said in his heart, “There is no Elohim.” They have corrupted themselves, and become abominable in iniquities: there is none that does good.2Elohim looked down from Hashamayim (the heavens) upon the sons of men, to see if there were any that understood, or sought after Elohim.3They have all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that does good, there is not even one.4Will none of the workers of iniquity know, who devour my people as they would eat bread? They have not called upon Elohim. There were they greatly afraid, where there was no fear:5for Elohim has scattered the bones of the men-pleasers (anthrōpareskōn); they were ashamed, for Elohim despised them.6Who will bring the salvation (yeshua) of Yisra’el (Israel) out of Zion? When Adonai turns the captivity of His people, Ya’aqov (Jacob) shall exult, and Yisra’el shall be glad.

Diapsalma (Pause).4For behold! Elohim assists me; and Adonai is the helper of my soul.5He shall return evil to my enemies; utterly destroy them in Your truth.6I will willingly sacrifice to You: I will give thanks to Your Name, O Yahuah; for it is good.7For You have delivered me out of all affliction, and my eye has seen my desire upon my enemies.

The Anatomy of the City Coup: The Dove-Wing Flight from the Treacherous Guide who Sweetened the Shared Food
1.0×
1For the End, amongst Hymns of instruction (Maskil) by David. Hearken, O Elohim, to my prayer; and disregard not my supplication.2Attend to me, and hearken to me: I was grieved in my meditation, and troubled;3because of the voice of the enemy, and because of the oppression of the sinner: for they brought iniquity against me, and were wrathfully angry with me.4My heart was troubled within me; and the fear of death fell upon me.5Fear and trembling came upon me, and darkness covered me.6And I said, “O that I had wings as those of a dove! Then would I flee away, and be at rest.7Behold! I have fled afar off, and lodged in the wilderness.” Diapsalma (Pause).8I waited for Him that should deliver me from distress of spirit and tempest.9Destroy, O Adonai, and divide their tongues: for I have seen iniquity and gainsaying in the city.10Day and night it shall go round about it upon its walls: iniquity and sorrow and unrighteousness are in the midst of it;11and usury and craft have not failed from its streets.12For if an enemy had reproached me, I would have endured it; and if one who hated me had spoken vauntingly against me, I would have hid myself from him.13But you, O man like-minded, my guide, and my acquaintance,14who in companionship with me sweetened our food: we walked in the house of Elohim in concord.15Let death come upon them, and let them go down alive into She'ol (Hades), for iniquity is in their dwellings, in the midst of them.16I cried to Elohim, and Yahuah listened to me.17Evening, and morning, and at noon I will declare and make known my wants: and He shall hear my voice.18He shall deliver my soul in peace from them that draw near to me: for they were with me in many cases.19Elohim shall hear, and bring them low, even He that has existed from eternity. Diapsalma (Pause). For they suffer no reverse, and therefore they have not feared Elohim.20He has reached forth His hand for retribution; they have profaned His Covenant.21They were scattered at the anger of His countenance, and His heart drew near them. His words were smoother than oil, yet are they darts.22Cast your care upon Yahuah, and He shall sustain you; He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.23But You, O Elohim, shall bring them down to the pit of destruction; bloody and crafty men shall not live out half their days; but I will hope in You, O Yahuah.

1For the End, concerning the people that were removed from the sanctuary (hyper tou laou tou apo tōn hagiōn memakrymmenou), by David for an inscription (Miktam / memorial), when the Philistines caught him in Gath (Geth). Have mercy upon me, O Elohim; for man has trodden me down; all the day long he warring has afflicted me.2My enemies have trodden me down all the day from the dawning of the day; for there are many warring against me.3They shall be afraid, but I will trust in You.4In Elohim I will praise my words; all the day have I hoped in Elohim; I will not fear what flesh shall do to me.5All the day long they have abominated my words; all their devices are against me for evil.6They will dwell near and hide themselves; they will watch my steps, accordingly as I have waited patiently in my soul.7You will on no account save them; You will bring down the people in wrath.8O Elohim, I have declared my life to You; You have set my tears before You, even according to Your promise.9My enemies shall be turned back in the day wherein I shall call upon You; behold, I know that You are my Elohim.10In Elohim will I praise His word; in Yahuah will I praise His saying.11I have hoped in Elohim; I will not be afraid of what man shall do to me.12The vows of Your praise, O Elohim, which I will pay, are upon me.13For You have delivered my soul from death, and my feet from sliding, that I should be well-pleasing before Elohim in the land of the living.

Have mercy upon me, O Elohim, have mercy upon me: for my soul has trusted in You: and in the shadow of Your wings will I hope, until the iniquity have passed away.2I will cry to Elohim Elyon (Most High); the El who has benefited me. Diapsalma (Pause).3He sent from heaven (shamayim) and saved me; He gave to reproach them that trampled on me: Elohim has sent forth His mercy and His truth;4and He has delivered my soul from the midst of lions' whelps: I lay down to sleep, though troubled. As for the sons of men, their teeth are arms and missile weapons, and their tongue a sharp sword.5Be You exalted, O Elohim, above the heavens (HaShamayim); and Your glory above all the earth.6They have prepared snares for my feet, and have bowed down my soul: they have dug a pit before my face, and fallen into it themselves. Diapsalma (Pause).7My heart, O Elohim, is ready, my heart is ready: I will sing, yes, will sing psalms.8Awake, my glory; awake, lute and harp: I will awake early.9O Adonai, I will give thanks to You amongst the nations: I will sing to You amongst the Gentiles.10For Your mercy has been magnified even to the heavens, and Your truth to the clouds.11Be You exalted, O Elohim, above the heavens; and Your glory above all the earth.

If you do indeed speak righteousness, then do you judge rightly, you sons of men.2For you work iniquities in your hearts in the earth: your hands plot unrighteousness.3Sinners have gone astray from the womb: they go astray from the belly: they speak lies.4Their venom is like that of a serpent; as that of a deaf asp, and that stops her ears;5which will not hear the voice of charmers, nor heed the charm prepared skillfully by the wise.6Elohim has crushed their teeth in their mouth: Elohim has broken the cheek-teeth of the lions.7They shall utterly pass away like water running through: He shall bend His bow till they shall fail.8They shall be destroyed as melted wax: the fire has fallen and they have not seen the sun.9Before your thorns feel the white thorn, He shall swallow you up as living, as in His wrath.10The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance of the ungodly: he shall wash his hands in the blood of the sinner.11And a man shall say, “Verily then there is a reward for the righteous: verily there is an Elohim that judges them in the earth.”

Deliver me from my enemies, O Elohim; and ransom me from those that rise up against me.2Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.3For, behold, they have hunted after my soul; violent men have set upon me: neither is it my iniquity, nor my sin, OYahuah.4Without iniquity I ran and directed my course aright: awake to help me, and behold.5And You, Yahuah Elohei Tzeva'ot (Sovereign of hosts), the Elohim of Yisra’el (Israel), draw near to visit all the heathen; pity not any that work iniquity. Diapsalma (Pause).6They shall return at evening, and hunger like a dog, and go round about the city.7Behold, they shall utter a voice with their mouth, and a sword is in their lips; for who, say they, has heard?8But You, Yahuah, will laugh them to scorn; You will utterly set at nothing all the heathen.9I will keep my strength, looking to You; for You, O Elohim, are my helper.10As for my Elohim, His mercy shall go before me: my Elohim will show me vengeance on my enemies.11Slay them not, lest they forget Your Law (Torah); scatter them by Your power; and bring them down, O Adonai, my defender.12For the sin of their mouth, and the word of their lips, let them be even taken in their pride.13And for their cursing and falsehood shall utter destruction be denounced: they shall fall by the wrath of utter destruction, and shall not be; so shall they know that the Elohim of Ya’aqov is Sovereign of the ends of the earth. Diapsalma (Pause).14They shall return at evening, and be hungry as a dog, and go round about the city.15They shall be scattered hither and there for meat; and if they be not satisfied, they shall even murmur.16But I will sing to Your strength, and in the morning will I exult in Your mercy; for You have been my supporter, and my refuge in the day of my affliction.17You are my helper; to You, my Elohim, will I sing; You are my supporter, O my Elohim, and my mercy.

O Elohim, You have rejected and destroyed us; You have been angry, yet have pitied us.2You have shaken the earth, and troubled it; heal its breaches, for it has been shaken.3You have shown Your people hard things: You have made us drink the wine of astonishment (oinon katanyxeōs).4You have given a token (banner) to them that fear You, that they might flee from the bow. Diapsalma (Pause).5That Your beloved ones may be delivered; save with Your right hand, and hear me.6Elohim has spoken in His holiness: “I will rejoice, and divide Shekhem (Sicima), and measure out the Valley of Tents (Succoth).7Gil’ad (Galaad) is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; and Ephraim is the strength of My head;8Yehudah (Judas) is My king. Moab is the cauldron of My hope; over Edom (Idumea) will I stretch out My shoe; the Philistines have been subjected to Me.”9Who will lead me into the fortified city? Who will guide me as far as Edom?10Will not You, O Elohim, who have cast us off? And will not You, O Elohim, go forth with our forces?11Give us help from trouble: for vain is the deliverance of man.12In Elohim will we do valiantly; and He shall bring to nothing them that harass us.

Diapsalma (Pause).9But the sons of men are vain; the sons of men are false, so as to be deceitful in the balances; they are all alike formed out of vanity.10Trust not in unrighteousness, and lust not after robberies: if wealth should flow in, set not your heart upon it.11God has spoken once, and I have heard these two things: that power is of Elohim;12and mercy is Yours, O Adonai; for You will recompense everyone according to his works.

The River of God is filled with water; You have prepared their food, for thus is the preparation of it.10Saturate her furrows, multiply her fruits; the crop springing up shall rejoice in its drops.11You will bless the crown of the year because of Your goodness; and Your plains shall be filled with fatness.12The mountains of the wilderness shall be enriched; and the hills shall gird themselves with joy.13The rams of the flock are clothed with wool, and the valleys shall abound in corn; they shall cry aloud, yes, they shall sing hymns.

Diapsalma (Pause).8Bless our Elohim, you Gentiles, and make the voice of His praise to be heard;9who quickens my soul in life, and does not suffer my feet to be moved.10For You, O Elohim, have proved us; You have tried us with fire as silver is tried.11You brought us into the snare; You laid afflictions on our back.12You did mount men upon our heads; we went through the fire and water; but You brought us out into a place of refreshment.13I will go into Your house with whole burnt offerings; I will pay You my vows,14which my lips framed, and my mouth uttered in my affliction.15I will offer to You whole burnt sacrifices full of marrow, with incense and rams; I will sacrifice to You oxen with goats. Diapsalma (Pause).16Come, hear, and I will tell, all you that fear Elohim, how great things He has done for my soul.17I cried to Him with my mouth, and exalted Him with my tongue.18If I have regarded iniquity in my heart, let not Adonai hearken to me.19Therefore Elohim has hearkened to me; He has attended to the voice of my prayer.20Blessed be Elohim, who has not turned away my prayer, nor His mercy from me.

The Triumphal Chariot Procession: The Scattering of Foes, the Ascension Gifts, and the Ecstasy of the Tribes
1.0×
1For the End, a Psalm of a Song by David. Let Elohim arise, and let His enemies be scattered; and let them that hate Him flee from before Him.2As smoke vanishes, let them vanish: as wax melts before the fire, so let the sinners perish from before Elohim.3But let the righteous rejoice; let them exult before Elohim: let them be delighted with joy.4Sing to Elohim, sing praises to His Name: make a way for Him that rides upon the west (Yahuah is His Name) and exult before Him. They shall be troubled before the face of Him,5who is the Father of the orphans, and Judge of the widows: such is Elohim in His holy place.6Elohim settles the solitary in a house; leading forth prisoners mightily, also them that act provokingly, even them that dwell in tombs.7O Elohim, when You went forth before Your people, when You went through the wilderness; Diapsalma (Pause):8the earth quaked, yes, the heavens dropped water at the presence of the Elohim of Sinai (Sina), at the presence of the Elohim of Yisra’el (Israel).9O Elohim, You will grant to Your inheritance a gracious rain; for it was weary, but You did refresh it.10Your creatures’ dwells in it: You have in Your goodness prepared for the poor.11Yahuah will give a word to them that preach it in a great company.12The King of the forces of the Beloved, of the Beloved, will even grant them for the beauty of the house to divide the spoils.13Even if you should lie amongst the lots, you shall have the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her breast with yellow gold.14When the Shaddai (Heavenly One) scatters kings upon it, they shall be made snow-white in Zalmon (Selmon).15The mountain of Elohim is a rich mountain; a swelling mountain, a rich mountain.16Therefore do you conceive evil, you swelling mountains? This is the mountain which Elohim has delighted to dwell in; yes, Yahuah will dwell in it forever.17The chariots of Elohim are ten thousand-fold, thousands of rejoicing ones: Adonai is amongst them, in Sinai, in the holy place.18You are gone up on high, You have led captivity captive, You have received gifts for man, yes, for they were rebellious, that You might dwell amongst them.19Blessed be Yahuah Elohim, blessed be Adonai daily; and the Elohim of our salvation (yeshua) shall prosper us. Diapsalma (Pause).20Our Elohim is the Elohim of salvation; and to Yahuah belong the issues from death.21But Elohim shall crush the heads of His enemies; the hairy crown of them that go on in their trespasses.22Yahuah said, “I will bring again from Bashan (Basan), I will bring My people again through the depths of the sea:23that your foot may be dipped in blood, and the tongue of your dogs be stained with that of your enemies.”24Your goings, O Elohim, have been seen; the goings of my Elohim, the King, in the Sanctuary.25The princes went first, next before the players on instruments, in the midst of damsels playing on timbrels.26Praise Elohim in the congregations, Yahuah from the fountains of Yisra’el.27There is Benyamit (Benjamin) the younger one in ecstasy, the princes of Yehudah (Juda) their rulers, the princes of Zevulun (Zabulon), the princes of Naphtali (Nephthali).28O Elohim, command You Your strength: strengthen, O Elohim, this which You have wrought in us.29Because of Your Temple at Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) shall kings bring presents to You.30Rebuke the wild beasts of the reed: let the crowd of bulls with the heifers of the nations be rebuked, so that they who have been proved with silver may not be shut out: scatter You the nations that wish for wars.31Ambassadors shall arrive out of Mitsrayim (Egypt); Kush (Ethiopia) shall hasten to stretch out her hand readily toElohim.32Sing to Elohim, you kingdoms of the earth; sing psalms to Yahuah. Diapsalma (Pause).33Sing to Elohim that rides on the heaven of heaven, eastward: behold, He will utter a mighty sound with His voice.34Give you glory to Elohim: His excellency is over Yisra’el, and His power is in the clouds.35Elohim is wonderful in His holy places, the Elohim of Yisra’el: He will give power and strength to His people: blessed be Elohim.

1For the End, a Psalm of David, for alternate strains (Shoshannim / Lilies).2Save me, O Elohim; for the waters have come in to my soul.3I am stuck fast in deep mire, and there is no standing: I am come into the depths of the sea, and a storm has overwhelmed me.4I am weary of crying, my throat has become hoarse; my eyes have failed by my waiting on my Elohim.5They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head: my enemies that persecute me unrighteously are strengthened: then I restored that which I took not away.6O Elohim, You know my foolishness; and my transgressions are not hidden from You.7Let not them that wait on You, O AdonaiYahuah Tzeva'ot (Sovereign of hosts), be ashamed on my account: let not them that seek You be ashamed on my account, O Elohim of Yisra’el (Israel).8For I have suffered reproach for Your sake; shame has covered my face.9I became strange to my brethren, and a stranger to my mother's children.10For the zeal of Your house has eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached You are fallen upon me.11And I bowed down my soul with fasting, and that was made my reproach.12And I put on sackcloth for my covering; and I became a proverb to them.13They that sit in the gate talked against me, and they that drank wine sang against me.14But I will cry to You, O Yahuah, in my prayer; O Elohim, it is a propitious time: in the multitude of Your mercy hear me, in the truth of Your salvation (yeshua).15Save me from the mire, that I stick not in it: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and from the deep waters.16Let not the waterflood drown me, nor let the deep swallow me up; neither let the well shut its mouth upon me.17Hear me, O Yahuah; for Your mercy is good: according to the multitude of Your compassions look upon me.18And turn not away Your face from Your servant; for I am afflicted: hear me speedily.19Draw near to my soul and redeem it: deliver me because of my enemies.20For You know my reproach, and my shame, and my confusion; all that afflict me are before You.21My soul has waited for reproach and misery; and I waited for one to grieve with me, but there was none; and for one to comfort me, but I found none.22They gave me also gall for my food, and made me drink vinegar for my thirst.23Let their table before them be for a snare, and for a recompense, and for a stumbling block.24Let their eyes be darkened that they should not see; and bow down their back continually.25Pour out Your wrath upon them, and let the fury of Your anger take hold on them.26Let their habitation be made desolate; and let there be no inhabitant in their tents:27because they persecuted him whom You have struck; and they have added to the grief of my wounds.28Add iniquity to their iniquity; and let them not come into Your righteousness.29Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and let them not be written with the righteous.30I am poor and sorrowful; but the salvation (yeshua) ofYour countenance has helped me.31I will praise the Name of my Elohim with a song, I will magnify Him with praise;32and this shall please Yahuah more than a young calf having horns and hoofs.33Let the poor see and rejoice; seek Yahuah diligently, and you shall live.34For Yahuah hears the poor, and does not set at nothing His fettered ones.35Let the heavens and the earth praise Him, the sea, and all things moving in them.36For Elohim will save Zion, and the cities of Yehudah (Judea) shall be built; and men shall dwell there, and inherit it.37And the seed of His servants shall possess it, and they that love His Name shall dwell therein.

1By David, a Psalm sung by the sons of Yehonadav (Jonadab), and the first that were taken captive (huiōn Iōnadab kai tōn prōtōn aichmalōtisthēntōn). O Yahuah, I have hoped in You: let me never be put to shame.2In Your righteousness deliver me and rescue me: incline Your ear to me, and save me.3Be to me a protecting Elohim, and a stronghold to save me: for You are my fortress and my refuge.4Deliver me, O my Elohim, from the hand of the sinner, from the hand of the transgressor and unjust man.5For You are my support, O Adonai; O Yahuah, You are my hope from my youth.6On You have I been stayed from the womb: from the belly of my mother You are my protector: of You is my praise continually.7I am become as it were a wonder to many; but You are my strong helper.8Let my mouth be filled with praise, that I may hymn Your glory, and Your majesty all the day.9Cast me not off at the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength fails.10For my enemies have spoken against me; and they that lay wait for my soul have taken counsel together,11saying, “Elohim has forsaken him: persecute you and take him; for there is none to deliver him.”12O Elohim, go not far from me; O my Elohim, draw near to my help.13Let those that plot against my soul be ashamed and utterly fail: let those that seek my hurt be clothed with shame and dishonor.14But I will hope continually, and will praise You more and more.15My mouth shall declare Your righteousness openly, and Your salvation (yeshua) all the day; for I am not acquainted with the affairs of men (hoti ouk egnōn pragmateias).16I will go on in the might of Yahuah: O Adonai, I will make mention of Your righteousness only.17O Elohim, You have taught me from my youth, and until now will I declare Your wonders;18even until I am old and advanced in years. O Elohim, forsake me not; until I shall have declared Your arm to all the generation that is to come:19even Your power and Your righteousness, O Elohim, up to the highest heavens, even the mighty works which You have done: O Elohim, who is like to You?20What afflictions many and sore have You showed me! Yet You did turn and quicken me, and brought me again from the depths of the earth.21You did multiply Your righteousness, and did turn and comfort me, and brought me again out of the depths of the earth.22I will also therefore give thanks to You, O Elohim, because of Your truth, on an instrument of psalmody: I will sing psalms to You on the harp, O Holy One of Yisra’el.23My lips shall rejoice when I sing to You; and my soul, which You have redeemed.24Moreover also my tongue shall dwell all the day upon Your righteousness; when they shall be ashamed and confounded that seek my hurt.

The Book Three Sanctuary Portal: The Crafty Prosperity of Transgressors and the Desolation of the Dream Awakening

1A Psalm for Asaph. How good is Elohim to Yisra’el, to the upright in heart!2But my feet were almost overthrown; my goings very nearly slipped.3For I was jealous of the transgressors, beholding the tranquility of sinners.4For there is no sign of reluctance in their death: and they have firmness under their affliction.5They are not in the troubles of other men; and they shall not be scourged with other men.6Therefore pride has possessed them; they have clothed themselves with their injustice and ungodliness.7Their injustice shall go forth as out of fatness: they have fulfilled their intention.8They have taken counsel and spoken in wickedness: they have uttered unrighteousness loftily.9They have set their mouth against heaven, and their tongue has gone through upon the earth.10Therefore shall my people return hither: and full days shall be found with them.11And they said, “How does El know? And is there knowledge in the Elyon (Most High)?”12Behold, these are the sinners, and they that prosper always: they have possessed wealth.13And I said, “Verily in vain have I justified my heart, and washed my hands in innocency.14For I was plagued all the day, and my reproof was every morning.”15If I said, “I will speak thus;” behold, I should have broken covenant with the generation of Your children.16And I undertook to understand this, but it is too hard for me,17until I go into the Sanctuary of Elohim; and so understand the latter end.18Surely You have appointed judgments to them because of their crafty dealings: you have cast them down when they were lifted up.19How have they become desolate! Suddenly they have failed: they have perished because of their iniquity.20As the dream of one awakening, O Adonai, in Your city You will despise their image (eikona).21For my heart has rejoiced, and my reins have been gladdened.22But I was vile and knew not: I became brutish before You.23Yet I am continually with You: You have holden my right hand.24You have guided me by Your counsel, and You have taken me to Yourself with glory.25For what have I in heaven but You? And what have I desired upon the earth beside You?26My heart and my flesh have failed: but Elohim is the strength of my heart, and Elohim is my portion for ever27For, behold, they that remove themselves far from You shall perish: You have destroyed everyone that goes a whoring from You.28But it is good for me to cleave close to Elohim, to put my trust in Adonai; that I may proclaim all Your praises in the gates of the daughter of Zion.

1A Psalm of instruction (Maskil) forAsaph. Wherefore, have You rejected us, O Elohim, forever? Wherefore, is Your wrath kindled against the sheep of Your pasture?2Remember Your congregation which You have purchased from the beginning; You did ransom the rod of Your inheritance—this Mount Zion wherein You have lived.3Lift up Your hands against their pride continually; because of all that the enemy has done wickedly in Your holy places.4And they that hate You have boasted in the midst of Your feast; they have set up their standards for signs,5ignorantly as it were in the entrance above.6They cut down its doors at once with axes as in a wood of trees; they have broken it down with hatchet and stonecutter.7They have burnt Your Sanctuary with fire to the ground; they have profaned the habitation of Your Name.8They have said in their heart, even all their kindred together, “Come, let us abolish the feasts of Yahuah from the earth.”9We have not seen our signs; there is no longer a prophet; and God will not know us anymore.10How long, O Elohim, shall the enemy reproach? Shall the enemy provoke Your Name forever?11Therefore turn You away Your hand, even Your right hand, from the midst of Your bosom forever?12But Elohim is our King of old; He has wrought salvation (yeshua) in the midst of the earth.13You did establish the sea in Your might; You did break to pieces the heads of the dragons (drakontōn) in the water.14You did break to pieces the heads of the dragon (drakontos / Leviathan); You did give him for meat to the Kushite (Ethiopian) nations.15You did cleave fountains and torrents; You dried up mighty rivers (potamous ētham).16The day is Yours, and the night is Yours; You have prepared the sun and the moon.17You have made all the borders of the eretz (earth); You have made summer and spring (the ros kai ear).18Remember this Your creation: an enemy has reproached Yahuah, and a foolish people has provoked Your Name.19Deliver not to the wild beasts a soul that gives praise to You: forget not forever the souls of Your poor.20Look upon Your Covenant: for the dark places of the earth are filled with the habitations of iniquity (oikōnanomiōn).21Let not the afflicted and shamed one be rejected: the poor and needy shall praise Your Name.22Arise, O Elohim, plead Your cause: remember Your reproaches that come from the foolish one all the day.23Forget not the voice of Your suppliants: let the pride of them that hate You continually ascend before You.

Diapsalma (Pause).10For the inward thought of man shall give thanks to You: and the memorial of his inward thought shall keep a feast to You.11Vow, and pay your vows to Yahuah our Elohim; all that are round about Him shall bring gifts, even to Him that is terrible,12and that takes away the spirits of princes; to Him that is terrible amongst the kings of the earth.

1For the End, for Yeduthun (Idithun), a Psalm of Asaph. I cried to Yahuah with my voice, yes, my voice was addressed to Elohim; and He gave heed to me.2In the day of my affliction I earnestly sought Adonai; even with my hands by night before Him, and I was not deceived; my soul refused to be comforted.3I remembered Elohim, and rejoiced; I poured out my complaint, and my soul fainted. Diapsalma (Pause).4All my enemies set a watch against me: I was troubled, and spoke not.5I considered the days of old, and remembered ancient years.6And I meditated; I communed with my heart by night, and diligently searched my spirit, saying,7“Will Yahuah cast off forever? And will He be well-pleased no more?8Will He cut off His mercy forever, even forever and ever?9Will El forget to pity? Or will He shut up His compassions in His wrath?” Diapsalma (Pause).10And I said, “Now I have begun; this is the change of the right hand of the Elyon (Most High).”11I remembered the works of Yahuah; for I will remember Your wonders from the beginning.12And I will meditate on all Your works, and will consider Your doings.13O Elohim, Your way is in the Sanctuary; who is a great El as our Elohim?14You are the Elohim that do wonders; You have made known Your power amongst the nations.15You have with Your arm redeemed Your people, the sons of Ya’aqov and Yoseph (Joseph). Diapsalma (Pause).16The waters saw You, O Elohim, the waters saw You, and feared; and the depths (abyssoi) were troubled.17There was an abundant sound of waters: the clouds uttered a voice; for Your arrows went abroad.18The voice of Your thunder was abroad, and around Your lightnings appeared to the world; the earth trembled and quaked.19Your way is in the sea, and Your paths in many waters, and Your footsteps cannot be known.20You did guide Your people as sheep by the hand of Moshe (Moses) and Aharon (Aaron).

The National Historical Epic: The Parables of the Ancient Ledger, the Defection of Ephraim, and the Sanctuary Elevation of the Judahite King
1.0×
1A Psalm of instruction (Maskil) forAsaph. Give heed, O My people, to My Law (Torah): incline your ear to the words of My mouth.2I will open My mouth in parables: I will utter dark sayings which have been from the beginning,3all which we have heard and known, and our fathers have declared to us.4They were not hid from their children to a second generation; the fathers declaring the praises of Yahuah, and His mighty acts, and His wonders which He wrought.5And He raised up a testimony in Ya’aqov (Jacob), and appointed a Law (Torah) in Yisra’el (Israel), which He commanded our fathers, to make it known to their children:6that another generation might know, even the sons which should be born; and they should arise and declare them to their children.7That they might set their hope on Elohim, and not forget the works of Elohim, but diligently seek His commandments;8and that they should not be as their fathers, a perverse and provoking generation—a generation which set not its heart aright, and its spirit was not steadfast with Elohim.9The children of Ephraim, bending and shooting with the bow, turned back in the day of battle.10They kept not the Covenant of Elohim, and would not walk in His Torah;11and they forgot His benefits, and His miracles which He had showed them—12the miracles which He wrought before their fathers, in the land of Mitsrayim (Egypt), in the plain of Zoan (Tanes).13He clave the sea, and led them through: He made the waters to stand as in a waterspout (hōs askon).14And He guided them with a cloud by day, and all the night with a light of fire.15He clave a rock in the wilderness, and made them drink as in a great deep.16And He brought water out of the rock, and caused waters to flow down as rivers.17And they sinned yet more against Him; they provoked the Elyon (Most High) in the wilderness.18And they tempted El in their hearts, in asking meat for the desire of their souls.19They spoke also against Elohim, and said, “Will Elohim be able to prepare a table in the wilderness?20Forasmuch as He struck the rock, and the waters flowed, and the torrents ran abundantly; will He be able also to give bread, or prepare a table for His people?”21Therefore Yahuah heard, and was provoked: and fire was kindled in Ya’aqov, and wrath went up againstYisra’el;22because they believed not in Elohim, and trusted not in His salvation (yeshua).23Yet He commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,24and rained upon them manna to eat, and gave them the bread of heaven.25Man ate angels' bread (arton angelōn); He sent them provision to the full.26He removed the south wind from heaven; and by His might He brought in the southwest wind.27And He rained upon them flesh like dust, and feathered birds like the sand of the seas;28and they fell into the midst of their camp, round about their tents.29So they ate, and were completely filled; and He gave them their desire.30They were not disappointed of their desire: but when their food was yet in their mouth,31then the indignation of Elohim rose up against them, and killed the fattest of them, and overthrew the choice men of Yisra’el.32In the midst of all this they sinned yet more, and believed not His miracles.33And their days were consumed in vanity, and their years with anxiety (meta spoudēs).34When He killed them, they sought Him: and they returned and called betimes upon Elohim.35And they remembered that Elohim was their helper, and the Elohim Elyon was their redeemer (go'el).36Yet they loved Him only with their mouth, and lied to Him with their tongue;37for their heart was not right with Him, neither were they steadfast in His Covenant.38But He is compassionate, and will forgive their sins, and will not destroy them: yes, He will frequently turn away His wrath, and will not kindle all His anger.39And He remembered that they are flesh; a wind that passes away, and returns not.40How often did they provoke Him in the wilderness, and anger him in a dry land!41Yes, they turned back, and tempted Elohim, and provoked the Holy One of Yisra’el.42They remembered not His hand, the day in which He delivered them from the hand of the oppressor.43How He had wrought His signs in Mitsrayim, and His wonders in the field of Zoan:44and had changed their rivers into blood; and their streams, that they should not drink.45He sent against them the dog-fly (kynomyian), and it devoured them; and the frog, and it spoiled them.46And he gave their fruit to the cankerworm, and their labors to the locust.47He killed their vines with hail, and their sycamores with frost.48And He gave up their cattle to hail, and their substance to the fire.49He sent out against them the fury of His anger—wrath, and indignation, and affliction: a message by evil angels (di' angelōnponērōn).50He made a way for His wrath; He spared not their souls from death, but consigned their cattle to death;51and struck every firstborn in the land of Mitsrayim—the firstfruits of their labors in the tents of Ham (Cham).52And He removed His people like sheep; He led them as a flock in the wilderness.53And He guided them with hope, and they feared not: but the sea covered their enemies.54And He brought them in to the mountain of His Sanctuary—this mountain which His right hand had purchased.55And He cast out the nations from before them, and made them to inherit by a line of inheritance, and made the tribes of Yisra’el to dwell in their tents.56Yet they tempted and provoked the ElohimElyon, and kept not His testimonies;57and they turned back, and broke covenant, even as also their fathers: they became like a crooked bow (toxon streblon).58For they provoked Him with their high places, and moved Him to jealousy with them graven images.59Elohim heard and lightly regarded them, and greatly despised Yisra’el.60And He rejected the tabernacle of Shiloh (Selom), His tent where He lived amongst men;61and He gave their strength into captivity, and their beauty into the enemy's hand.62And He gave His people to the sword; and disdained His inheritance.63Fire devoured their young men; and their virgins mourned not.64Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows shall not be wept for.65So Yahuah awaked as one out of sleep, and as a mighty man who has been heated with wine.66And He struck His enemies in the hinder parts: He brought on them a perpetual reproach.67And He rejected the tabernacle of Yoseph (Joseph), and chose not the tribe of Ephraim;68but chose the tribe of Yehudah (Judah), the Mount Zion which He loved.69And He built His Sanctuary as the place of unicorns (mōnokerōtōn); He founded it forever on the earth.70He chose David also His servant, and took him up from the flocks of sheep.71He took him from following the ewes great with young, to be the shepherd of Ya’aqov His servant, and Yisra’el His inheritance.72So he tended them in the innocency of his heart; and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands.

The Elegy of the Defiled Capital: The Unburied Martyrs, the Storehouse of Fruits, and the Groaning of the Slain Ones' Sons

1A Psalm for Asaph. O Elohim, the heathen are come into Your inheritance; they have polluted Your holy Temple; they have made Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) a storehouse of fruits (opōrophylakion).2They have given the dead bodies of Your servants to be food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of Your holy ones (Qodeshim) for the wild beasts of the earth.3They have shed their blood as water round about Yerushalayim; and there was none to bury them.4We are become a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.5How long, O Yahuah? Will You be angry forever? Shall Your jealousy burn like fire?6Pour out Your wrath upon the heathen that have not known You, and upon the kingdoms which have not called upon Your Name.7For they have devoured Ya’aqov (Jacob), and laid his place waste.8Remember not our old transgressions; let Your tender mercies speedily prevent us; for we are greatly impoverished.9Help us, O Elohim our Savior (sōtēr hēmōn); for the glory of Your Name, O Yahuah, deliver us; and be merciful to our sins, for Your Name's sake.10Lest haply they should say amongst the heathen, “Where is their Elohim?” And let the avenging of Your servants' blood that has been shed be known amongst the heathen before our eyes.11Let the groaning of the prisoners come in before You; according to the greatness of Your arm preserve the sons of the slain ones (toushuioustōntethanatōmenōn).12Repay to our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, with which they have reproached You, O Yahuah.13For we are Your people and the sheep of Your pasture; we will give You thanks forever; we will declare Your praise throughout all generations.

Attend, O Shepherd of Yisra’el (Israel), who guide Yoseph (Joseph) like a flock; You who sit upon the cherubs, manifest Yourself;2before Ephraim and Benyamit (Benjamin) and Manasseh, stir up Your power, and come to deliver us.3Turn us, O Elohim, and cause Your face to shine; and we shall be delivered (sōthēsometha).4O Yahuah Elohei Tzeva’ot (Sovereign of hosts), how long are You angry with the prayer of Your servant?5You will feed us with bread of tears; and will cause us to drink tears by measure.6You have made us a strife to our neighbors; and our enemies have mocked at us.7Turn us, O Yahuah Elohei Tzeva’ot, and cause Your face to shine; and we shall be saved. Diapsalma (Pause).8You have transplanted a vine out of Mitsrayim (Egypt): You have cast out the heathen, and planted it.9You made a way before it, and did cause its roots to strike, and the land was filled with it.10Its shadow covered the mountains, and its shoots equaled the goodly cedars of El (tas kedrous tou theou).11It sent forth its branches to the sea, and its shoots to the River (Euphrates).12Therefore have You broken down its hedge, while all that pass by the way pluck it?13The boar out of the wood has laid it waste, and the wild beast has devoured it.14 O Elohim of hosts, turn, we pray You: look on us from shamayim (heaven), and behold, and visit this vine;14and restore that which Your right hand has planted: and look on the Son of Man (hyionanthrōpou) whom You did strengthen for Yourself.15It is burnt with fire and dug up: they shall perish at the rebuke of Your presence (prosōpou sou).16Let Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand (andradexiassou), and upon the Son of Man whom You did strengthen for Yourself.17So will we not depart from You: You shall quicken us, and we will call upon Your Name.18Turn us, O Yahuah Elohei Tzeva’ot, and make Your face to shine; and we shall be saved.

1For the End, a Psalm for Asaph, concerning the winepresses (yper tōn lēnōn / Gittith). Rejoice you in Elohim our helper; shout aloud to the Elohim of Ya’aqov (Jacob).2Take a psalm, and produce the timbrel—the pleasant lute with the harp.3Blow the trumpet (shofar) at the new moon (New Month), in the glorious day of your feast.4For this is an ordinance for Yisra’el (Israel), and a statute of the Elohim of Ya’aqov.5He made it to be a testimony in Yoseph (Joseph), when he came forth out of the land of Mitsrayim (Egypt): he heard a language which he understood not.6“I removed his back from burdens: his hands slaved in making the baskets.7You did call upon Me in trouble, and I delivered you; I heard you in the secret place of the storm (enapokryphōkataigidos): I proved you at the water of Strife (Merivah).” Diapsalma (Pause).8“Hear, My people, and I will speak to you, O Yisra’el; and I will testify to you: if you will hearken to Me,9there shall be no new god in you; neither shall you worship a strange god.10For I am Yahuah your Elohim, that brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim: open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.11But My people listened not to My voice; and Yisra’el gave no heed to Me.12So I let them go after the ways of their own hearts: they will go on in their own ways.13If My people had listened to Me, ifYisra’el had walked in My ways,14I should have put down their enemies very quickly, and should have laid My hand upon those that afflicted them.15The enemies of Yahuah should have lied to Him: but their time shall be forever.16And He fed them with the fat of wheat; and satisfied them with honey out of the rock.”

Be not silent, neither be still, O Elohim.2For behold, Your enemies have made a noise; and they that hate You have lifted up the head.3Against Your people they have craftily imagined a device, and have taken counsel against Your saints (Qodeshim).4They have said, “Come, and let us utterly destroy them out of the nation; and let the name of Yisra’el be remembered no more at all.”5For they have taken counsel together with one consent: they have made a confederacy against You—6even the tents of the Edomites (Idumeans), and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagarenes (Agarenes);7Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines also, with them that dwell at Tyre.8Yes, Asshur (Assur) too is come with them: they have become a help to the children of Lot. Diapsalma (Pause).9Do You to them as to Midian (Madiam), and to Sisera; as to Yabin at the brook of Kishon (Kison).10They were utterly destroyed at En-dor (Aendor): they became as dung for the earth.11Make their princes as Oreb and Zeeb, and Zebah (Zebee) and Zalmunna (Salmana)—even all their princes—12who said, “Let us take to ourselves the Sanctuary (Altar) of Elohim as an inheritance.”13O my Elohim, make them as a wheel; as stubble before the face of the wind.14As fire which shall burn up a wood, as the flame may consume the mountains;15so shall You persecute them with Your tempest, and trouble them in Your anger.16Fill their faces with dishonor; so, shall they seek Your Name, O Yahuah.17Let them be ashamed and troubled for evermore; yes, let them be confounded and destroyed.18And let them know that Your Name is Yahuah; that You alone are Elyon (Most High) over all the earth.

Diapsalma (Pause).5Blessed is the man whose help is of You, O Yahuah; in his heart he has purposed to go up 6 the valley of weeping (koiladatouklauthmōnos), to the place which he has appointed, for there the Lawgiver (nomothetōn) will grant blessings.6They shall go from strength to strength: the El of gods shall be seen in Zion.7O Yahuah Elohei Tzeva’ot, hear my prayer: listen, O Elohim of Ya’aqov (Jacob). Diapsalma (Pause).8Behold, O Elohim our defender, and look upon the face of Your Mashiach (Anointed).9For one day in Your courts is better than thousands. I would rather be an abject (pararripteisthai) in the house of Elohim, than dwell in the tents of sinners.10For Yahuah loves mercy and truth: Elohim will give grace and glory: Yahuah will not withhold good things from them that walk-in innocence.11O Yahuah Tzeva’ot, blessed is the man that trusts in You.

1A Song of a Psalm for the sons of Korach for the End, upon Mahalath (Maeleth) for responsive strains, of instruction (Maskil) for Heman (Aeman) the Ezrahite (Yisraelite).O Yahuah, Elohai of my salvation (thee tēssōtēriasmou), I have cried by day and in the night before You.2Let my prayer come in before You; incline Your ear to my supplication, O Yahuah.3For my soul is filled with troubles, and my life has drawn near to She'ol (Hades).4I have been reckoned with them that go down to the pit; I became as a man without help—5free amongst the dead (ennekroiseleutheros), as the slain ones cast out, who sleep in the tomb; whom You remember no more; and they are rejected from Your hand.6They laid me in the lowest pit, in dark places, and in the shadow of death.7Your wrath has pressed heavily upon me, and You have brought upon me all Your billows (pantastousmeteōrismoussou).

Or shall physicians (iatroi) raise them up, that they shall praise You? Diapsalma (Pause).11Shall anyone declare Your mercy in the tomb? And Your truth in destruction?12Shall Your wonders be known in darkness? And Your righteousness in a forgotten land?13But I cried to You, O Yahuah; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent You.14Therefore, O Yahuah, do You reject my prayer, and turn Your face away from me?15I am poor and in troubles from my youth; and having been exalted, I was brought low and into despair (exēporēthēn).16Your wrath has passed over me; and Your terrors have greatly disquieted me.17They compassed me like water; all the day they beset me together.18You have put far from me every friend, and my acquaintances because of my wretchedness (apo talaipōrias).

I will sing of Your mercies, O Yahuah, forever: I will declare Your truth with my mouth to all generations.2For You have said, “Mercy shall be built up forever: Your truth shall be established in the heavens.”3“I made a Covenant with My chosen ones, I swore to David My servant:4I will establish your Seed forever, and build up your throne to all generations.” Diapsalma (Pause).5The heavens shall declare Your wonders, O Yahuah; and Your truth in the assembly of the saints (Qodeshim).6For who in the heavens (nephelas / clouds) shall be compared to Yahuah? And who shall be likened to Yahuah amongst the sons of God (Benei El)?7Elohim is glorified in the council of the saints (v'sod qodeshim); great and terrible towards all that are round about Him.8O Yahuah Elohei Tzeva’ot (Sovereign of hosts), who is like to You? You are mighty, O Yahuah, and Your truth is round about You.9You rule the power of the sea; and You calm the tumult of its waves.10You have brought down Rahab (the proud) as one that is slain; and with the arm of Your power You have scattered Your enemies.11The heavens are Yours, and the earth is Yours: You have founded the world (oikoumenēn), and the fullness of it.12You have created the north and the west (thalassan / sea): Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in Your Name.13Yours is the mighty arm: let Your hand be strengthened, let Your right hand be exalted.14Justice and judgment are the establishment of Your throne: mercy and truth shall go before Your face.15Blessed is the people that knows the joyful sound (teruah / shofar-shout): they shall walk, O Yahuah, in the light of Your countenance.16And in Your Name shall they rejoice all the day: and in Your righteousness shall they be exalted.17For You are the boast of their strength; and in Your good pleasure shall our horn be exalted,18for our help is of Yahuah; and of the Holy One of Yisra’el, our King.19Then You spoke in vision to Your children (toishuioissou / sons), and said: “I have laid help on a Mighty One; I have exalted one chosen out of My people.20I have found David My servant; I have anointed him by My holy mercy (eleei / oil).21For My hand shall support him; and My arm shall strengthen him.22The enemy shall have no advantage against him; and the son of transgression (anomias) shall not hurt him again.23And I will hew down his foes before him, and put to flight those that hate him.24But My truth and My mercy shall be with him; and in My Name shall his horn be exalted.25And I will set his hand in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.26He shall call upon Me, saying: ‘You are my Father, my God, and the helper of my salvation (yeshua).’27And I will make him My Firstborn (prōtotokon), higher than the kings of the earth.28I will keep My mercy for him forever, and My Covenant shall be firm with him.29And I will establish his Seed for ever and ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.30If his children should forsake My Law (Torah), and walk not in My judgments; 31 if they should profane My ordinances, and not keep My commandments; 32 I will visit their transgressions with a rod, and their sins with scourges.33But My mercy I will not utterly remove from him, nor wrong My truth.34Neither will I by any means profane My Covenant; and I will not make void the things that proceed out of My lips.35Once have I sworn by My holiness, that I will not lie to David.36His Seed shall endure forever, and his throne as the sun before Me; 37 and as the moon that is established forever, and as the faithful witness in heaven.” Diapsalma (Pause).38But You have cast off and set at nothing, You have rejected Your Anointed (Mashiach).39You have overthrown the Covenant of Your servant; You have profaned his sanctuary, casting it to the ground.40You have broken down all his hedges; You have made his strongholds a terror.41All that go by the way have spoiled him: he is become a reproach to his neighbors.42You have exalted the right hand of his enemies; You have made all his enemies to rejoice.43You have turned back the help of his sword, and have not helped him in the battle.44You have deprived him of glory: You have broken down his throne to the ground.45You have shortened the days of his throne (chrononthronou / time): You have poured shame upon him. Diapsalma (Pause).46How long, O Yahuah, will You turn away, forever? Shall Your anger flame out as fire?47Remember what my being is: for have You created all the sons of men in vain?48What man is there who shall live, and not see death? Shall anyone deliver his soul out of the hand of She'ol (Hades)? Diapsalma (Pause).49Where are Your ancient mercies, O Adonai, which You swore to David in Your truth?50Remember, O Yahuah, the reproach of Your servants, which I have borne in my bosom—even the reproach of many nations;51wherewith Your enemies have reviled, O Yahuah: wherewith they have reviled the recompense (antallagma) of Your Anointed (Mashiach).52Blessed be Yahuah forever. So be it, so be it (Amen, Amen).

1A Prayer of Moshe (Moses) the man of Elohim. Yahuah, You have been our refuge (Ma'on / sanctuary habitation) in all generations.2Before the mountains existed, and before the earth and the world were formed—even from age to age, You are.3Turn not man back to his low place, whereas You said, “Return, you sons of men (Benei Adam).”4For a thousand years in Your sight are as the yesterday which is past, and as a watch in the night.5Years shall be vanity to them: let the morning pass away as grass.6In the morning let it flower, and pass away: in the evening let it droop, let it be withered and dried up.7For we have perished in Your anger, and in Your wrath we have been troubled.8You have set our transgressions before You: our age is in the light of Your countenance.9For all our days are gone, and we have passed away in Your wrath: our years have spun out their tale as a spider (hōsarachnēemeletōn).10As for the days of our years, in them are seventy years; and if men should be in strength, eighty years: and the greater part of them would be labor and trouble; for weakness overtakes us, and we shall be chastened (paideuthēsometha).11Who knows the power of Your wrath?12And who knows how to number his days because of the fear of Your wrath? So, manifest Your right hand, and those that are instructed in wisdom in the heart.13Return, O Yahuah, how long? And be entreated concerning Your servants.14We have been satisfied in the morning with Your mercy; and we did exult and rejoice:15let us rejoice in all our days, in return for the days wherein You did afflict us, the years wherein we saw evil.16And look upon Your servants, and upon Your works; and guide their children.17And let the brightness of Yahuah our Elohim be upon us: and do You direct for us the works of our hands.

1Praise of a Song, by David. He that dwells in the help of the Highest (Elyon), shall sojourn under the shelter of the Elohim of heaven (Shamayim).2He shall say to Yahuah, “You are my helper and my refuge: my Elohim; I will hope in Him.”3For He shall deliver you from the snare of the hunters, from every troublesome matter.4He shall overshadow you with His shoulders, and you shall trust under His wings: His truth shall cover you with a shield (kyklōsei se).5You shall not be afraid of terror by night; nor of the arrow flying by day;6nor of the evil thing that walks in darkness; nor of calamity, and the evil spirit at noon-day.7A thousand shall fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you.8Only with your eyes shall you observe and see the reward of sinners.9For You, O Yahuah, are my hope: you, my soul, have made the Most High (Elyon) your refuge.10No evils shall come upon you, and no scourge shall draw near to your dwelling.11For He shall give His angels charge concerning you, to keep you in all your ways.12They shall bear you up on their hands, lest at any time you dash your foot against a stone.13You shall tread on the asp and basilisk (aspida kai basiliskon): and you shall trample on the lion and dragon (drakonta).14“For he has hoped in Me, and I will deliver him: I will protect him, because he has known My Name.15He shall call upon Me, and I will listen to him: I am with him in affliction; and I will deliver him, and glorify him.16I will satisfy him with length of days, and show him My salvation (to sōtērion mou / yeshua).”

1It is a good thing to give thanks to Yahuah, and to sing praises to Your Name, O You Most High (Elyon);2to proclaim Your mercy in the morning, and Your truth by night,3on a lute of ten strings, with a song on the harp.4For You, O Yahuah, have made me glad with Your work: and in the operations of Your hands will I exult.5How have Your works been magnified, O Yahuah! Your thoughts are very deep.6A foolish man will not know, and a senseless man will not understand this.7When the sinners spring up as the grass, and all the workers of iniquity have watched; it is that they may be utterly destroyed forever.8But You, O Yahuah, are Most High forever.9For, behold, Your enemies shall perish; and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.10But my horn shall be exalted as the horn of a unicorn (monokerōtos); and my old age with rich mercy (eleeipioniy / fresh oil).11And my eye has seen my enemies, and my ear shall hear the wicked that rise up against me.12The righteous shall flourish as a palm tree: he shall be increased as the cedar in Lebanon (Libanus).13They that are planted in the House of Yahuah shall flourish in the courts of our Elohim.14Then shall they be increased in a fine old age; and they shall be prosperous;15that they may declare that Yahuah my Elohim is righteous, and there is no iniquity inside Him.

Yahuah reigns; He has clothed Himself with honor: Yahuah has clothed and girded Himself with strength;for He has established the world (oikoumenēn), which shall not be moved.2Your throne is prepared of old: You are from everlasting.3The rivers have lifted up, O Yahuah, the rivers have lifted up their voices; the rivers shall lift up their waves.4At the voices of many waters, the billows of the sea are wonderful: Yahuah is wonderful in high places.5Your testimonies are made very sure: holiness becomes Your House, O Yahuah, forever (eismakrotētahēmerōn / unto length of days).

The Mid-Week Assize of Judgment: The Silencing of the Proud, the Tutorial of the Torah, and the Invalidation of Lawless Ordinances

1A Psalm of David for the fourth day of the week (Ledger). Yahuah is a God of vengeance (El Neqamot); the God of vengeance has declared Himself and shined forth.2Be You exalted, You that judge the earth: render a reward to the proud.3How long shall sinners, O Yahuah, how long shall sinners boast?4They will utter and speak unrighteousness; all the workers of iniquity (anomian) will speak so.5They have afflicted Your people, O Yahuah, and hurt Your heritage (nachalatokha).6They have slain the widow and fatherless, and murdered the stranger.7And they said, “Yahuah shall not see, neither shall the Elohim of Ya’aqov (Jacob) understand.”8Understand now, you simple (aphrones) amongst the people; and you fools, at length be wise.9He that planted the ear, does He not hear? Or He that formed the eye, does not He perceive?10He that chastises the nations, shall not He punish, even He that teaches man knowledge?11Yahuah knows the thoughts of men, that they are vain.12Blessed is the man whoever You shall chasten, O Yahuah, and shall teach him out of Your Law (Torah);13to give him rest from evil days, until a pit be digged for the sinful one.14For Yahuah will not cast off His people, neither will He forsake His inheritance;15until righteousness return to judgment, and all the upright in heart shall follow it. Diapsalma (Pause).16Who will rise up for me against the transgressors? Or who will stand up with me against the workers of iniquity?17If Yahuah had not helped me, my soul had almost sojourned in She'ol (Hades).18If I said, “My foot has been moved;” Your mercy, O Yahuah, helped me.19O Yahuah, according to the multitude of my griefs within my heart, Your consolations have soothed my soul.20Shall the throne of iniquity (thronosanomias) have fellowship with You, which frames mischief by an ordinance (epi prostagmati)?21They will hunt for the soul of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood.22But Yahuah was my refuge; and my Elohim the helper of my hope.23And He will recompense to them their iniquity and their wickedness: Yahuah our Elohim shall utterly destroy them.

I walked in the innocence of my heart, in the midst of my house.3I have not set before my eyes any unlawful or lawless thing (proeprekhon pragma paranomon): I have hated transgressors.4A perverse heart has not cleaved to me; I have not recognized or known an evil man as he turns away from me.5Him that privily speaks against his neighbor with slander, him have I driven out and completely banished from me: he that is proud in look and insatiable in heart, —with him I have not eaten.6My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walked in a perfect, uncompromised way, the same ministered to me.7The proud doer lived not in the midst of my house; the unjust speaker prospered not inside my sight.8Early did I slay all the sinners of the land, that I might utterly destroy out of the City of Yahuah all that work iniquity (anomian).

1A Prayer for the Poor (Aniy / tō ptōchō); when he is deeply afflicted, and pours out his supplication before Yahuah. Hear my prayer, O Yahuah, and let my cry come to You.2Turn not away Your face from me: in the day when I am afflicted, incline Your ear to me: in the day when I shall call upon You, speedily hear me.3For my days have vanished like smoke, and my bones have been parched like a stick (phrygion / dry firewood).4I am blighted like grass, and my heart is dried up; for I have forgotten to eat my bread.5By reason of the voice of my groaning, my bone has cleaved to my flesh.6I have become like a pelican of the wilderness; I have become like an owl in a ruined house.7I have watched, and am become as a sparrow dwelling alone on a roof.8All the day long my enemies have reproached me; and they that praised me have sworn against me.9For I have eaten ashes as it were bread, and mingled my drink with weeping;10because of Your anger and Your wrath: for You have lifted me up, and dashed me down.11My days have declined like a shadow; and I am withered like grass.12But You, Yahuah, endure forever, and Your memorial to generation and generation.13You shall arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for it is time to have mercy upon her, for the set time (kaires / appointed Moed) is come.14For Your servants have taken pleasure in her stones, and they shall pity her dust.15So the nations (Goyim) shall fear Your Name, O Yahuah, and all kings Your glory (Kavod).16For Yahuah shall build up Zion, and shall appear inside His glory.17He has had regard to the prayer of the lowly, and has not despised their petition.18Let this be written for another generation (geneanheteran); and the people that shall be created (laos ho ktizomenos) shall praise Yahuah.19For He has looked out from the height of His sanctuary habitation; Yahuah looked upon the earth from heaven (Shamayim);20to hear the groaning of the fettered ones (pepedēmenōn), to loosen the sons of the slain ones (toushyioustōntethanatōmenōn);21to proclaim the Name of Yahuah inside Zion, and His praise inside Yerushalayim;22when the people are gathered together, and the kings, to serve Yahuah.23He answered him in the way of his strength: “Tell me the fewness of my days.”24Take me not away in the midst of my days: Your years are through all generations.25In the beginning You, O Yahuah, did lay the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of Your hands.26They shall perish, but You remain: and they all shall wax old as a garment; and as a vesture shall You fold them up (helixeis autous), and they shall be changed.27But You are the same (su de ho autos eis), and Your years shall not fail.28The children of Your servants shall dwell securely, and their seed shall prosper forever.

Bless Yahuah, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy Name.2Bless Yahuah, O my soul, and forget not all His praises (aineseis / covenant benefits):3who forgives all your transgressions, who heals all your diseases;4who redeems your life from corruption (ekphthoras); who crowns you with mercy and compassion;5who satisfies your desire with good things: so that your youth shall be renewed like that of the eagle (hōsaetou).6Yahuah executes mercy and judgment for all that are injured and oppressed.7He made known His ways to Moshe (Moses), His will to the children of Yisra’el.8Yahuah is compassionate and pitiful, longsuffering, and full of mercy.9He will not be always angry; neither will He be wrathful forever.10He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor recompensed us according to our iniquities (anomias).11For as the heaven (HaShamayim) is high above the earth, Yahuah has so increased and magnified His mercy towards them that fear Him.12As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.13As a father pities his children, Yahuah pities them that fear Him.14For He knows our frame (to plasma hēmōn / our clay molding): remember that we are dust.15As for man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so shall he flourish.16For the wind passes over it, and it shall not be; and it shall know its place no more.17But the mercy of Yahuah is from generation to generation upon them that fear Him, and His righteousness to children's children;18to them that keep His Covenant, and remember His commandments to do them.19Yahuah has prepared His throne in the heaven (Shamayim); and His kingdom rules over all.20Bless Yahuah, all you His angels (pantes hoi angeloiautou), mighty in strength, who perform His bidding, ready to listen to the voice of His words.21Bless Yahuah, all you His hosts (Tzeva’ot); you ministers of His that do His will.22Bless Yahuah, all His works, in every place of His dominion: bless Yahuah, O my soul.

1A Psalm of David (Psalmos tō Dauid). Bless Yahuah, O my soul. O Yahuah Elohai, You are very great; You have clothed Yourself with praise and honor:2who do robe Yourself with light as with a garment; spreading out the heaven (Shamayim) as a curtain (derrin / tent skin).3Who covers His chambers with waters; who makes the clouds His chariot; who walks on the wings of the wind.4Who makes His angels spirits (pneumata / winds), and His ministers a flaming fire (pyrphlegon).5Who establishes the earth on her sure foundation: it shall not be moved forever.6The deep, as it were a garment (beged), is its covering: the waters shall stand upon the hills.7At Your rebuke they shall flee; at the voice of Your thunder they shall be alarmed.8They go up to the mountains, and down to the plains, to the place which You have founded for them.9You have set a bound which they shall not pass, neither shall they turn again to cover the earth.10He sends forth His fountains amongst the valleys: the waters shall run between the mountains.11They shall give drink to all the wild beasts of the field: the wild asses shall take of them to quench their thirst.12By them shall the birds of the sky lodge: they shall utter a voice out of the midst of the rocks.13He waters the mountains from His high chambers: the earth shall be satisfied with the fruit of Your works.14He makes grass to grow for the cattle, and green herb for the service of men, to bring bread out of the earth;15and wine makes glad the heart of man, to make his face cheerful with oil (elaiō): and bread strengthens man's heart.16The trees of the plain shall be full of sap; even the cedars of Lebanon (Libanus) which He has planted.17There the sparrows will build their nests; and the house of the heron takes the lead amongst them.18The high mountains are a refuge for the stags, and the rock for the rabbits.19He appointed the moon for seasons (eiskairous / for the Moed festival dates): the sun knows his going down.20You did make darkness, and it was night; in it all the wild beasts of the forest will be abroad:21even young lions roaring for prey, and to seek meat for themselves from El.22The sun arises, and they shall be gathered together, and shall lie down in their dens.23Man shall go forth to his work, and to his labor till evening.24How great are Your works, O Yahuah! In wisdom have You wrought them all: the earth is filled with Your creation (ktiseōs).25So is this great and wide sea: there are things creeping innumerable, small animals and great.26There go the ships; and this dragon (Leviathan) whom You have made to play inside it (empaizeinautō).27All wait upon You, to give them their food in due season.28When You have given it them, they will gather it; and when You have opened Your hand, they shall all be filled with good.29But when You have turned away Your face, they shall be troubled: You will take away their breath (pneuma), and they shall fail, and return to their dust.30You shall send forth Your Spirit (Ruach), and they shall be created (ktisthēshontai); and You shall renew the face of the earth.31Let the glory (Kavod) of Yahuah be forever: Yahuah shall rejoice in His works;32who looks upon the earth, and makes it tremble; who touches the mountains, and they smoke.33I will sing to Yahuah while I live; I will sing praise to my Elohim while I exist (heōshyparchō).34Let my meditation be sweet to Him: and I will rejoice inside Yahuah.35Let the sinners fail from off the earth, and transgressors (anomoi), so that they shall be no more. Bless Yahuah, O my soul.

1HalleluYAH (Alleluia). Give thanks to Yahuah, and call upon His Name; declare His works amongst the nations (Goyim / entoisethnesin).2Sing to Him, yes, sing praises to Him: tell forth all His wonderful works.3Glory inside His holy Name: let the heart of them that seek Yahuah rejoice.4Seek you Yahuah, and be strengthened; seek His face continually.5Remember His wonderful works that He has done; His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;6you seed of Avraham (Abraam) His servants, you children of Ya’aqov (Jacob) His chosen ones.7He is Yahuah our Elohim; His judgments are in all the earth.8He has remembered His Covenant forever, the Word which He commanded for a thousand generations (eis chilias geneas);9which He established as a covenant to Avraham, and He remembered His oath to Yitzchaq (Isaac).10And He established it to Ya’aqov for an ordinance, and to Yisra’el for an everlasting Covenant (diathēkēn aiōnion);11saying: “To you will I give the land of Kena'an (Canaan), the line of your inheritance.”12When they were few in number, very few, and sojourners inside it.13And they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people.14He suffered no man to wrong them; and He rebuked kings for their sakes,15saying: “Touch not My anointed ones (tōnchristōnmou); and do My prophets no harm.”16Moreover He called for a famine upon the land; He broke the whole support of bread.17He sent a man before them; Yosef (Joseph) was sold for a slave.18They hurt his feet with fetters; his soul passed into iron (sidērondiēlthenhēpsychēautou),19until the time that his cause came on; the Word of Yahuah tried him as fire (epyrosenauton).20The king sent and loosed him; even the prince of the people, and let him go free.21He made him master over his house, and ruler of all his substance; 22 to chastise his rulers at his pleasure, and to teach his elders wisdom.23Yisra’el also came into Egypt, and Ya’aqov sojourned in the land of Cham (Ham).24And He increased His people greatly, and made them stronger than their enemies.25And He turned their heart to hate His people, to deal craftily with His servants.26He sent forth Moshe (Moses) His servant, and Aharon (Aaron) whom He had chosen.27He established amongst them His signs, and His wonders inside the land of Cham.28He sent forth darkness, and made it dark; yet they rebelled against His words.29He turned their waters into blood, and killed their fish.30Their land produced frogs abundantly, in the secret chambers of their kings.31He spoke, and the dog-fly came, and lice in all their coasts.32He turned their rain into hail, and sent flaming fire in their land.33And He struck their vines and their fig trees; and broke every tree of their coast.34He spoke, and the locust came, and caterpillars innumerable,35and devoured all the grass in their land, and devoured the fruit of the ground.36He struck also every firstborn of their land, the first fruits of all their labor.37And He brought them out with silver and gold; and there was not a single feeble or stumbling one amongst their tribes (ouk ēn en tais phylais autōn asthenēs).38Egypt rejoiced at their departing; for the fear of them fell upon them.39He spread out a cloud for a covering to them, and fire to give them light by night.40They asked, and the quail came, and He satisfied them with the bread of heaven (HaShamayim).41He clave the rock, and the waters flowed, rivers ran in dry places.42For He remembered His holy Word, which He promised to Avraham His servant.43And He brought out His people with exultation, and His chosen with joy;44and gave them the lands of the nations (Goyim); and they inherited the labors of the people;45that they might keep His ordinances, and diligently seek His Law (Torah).

1HalleluYAH. Give thanks to Yahuah; for He is good: for His mercy endures forever.2Who shall tell the mighty acts of Yahuah? Who shall cause all His praises to be heard?3Blessed are they that keep judgment, and do righteousness at all times.4Remember us, O Yahuah, with the favour You have toward Your people: visit us with Your Yeshua (salvation);5that we may behold the good of Your elect, that we may rejoice in the gladness of Your nation, that we may glory with Your inheritance.6We have sinned with our fathers, we have transgressed, we have done unrighteously.7Our fathers in Mitzrayim (Egypt) understood not Your wonders, and remembered not the multitude of Your mercy; but provoked Him as they went up by the Yam Suf (Red Sea).8Yet He saved them for His Name's sake, that He might cause His mighty power to be known.9And He rebuked the Yam Suf, and it was dried up: so He led them through the deep as through the wilderness.10And He saved them out of the hand of them that hated them, and redeemed them out of the hand of the enemy.11The water covered those that oppressed them: there was not one of them left.12Then they believed His words, and celebrated His praise.13They made haste, they forgot His works; they waited not for His counsel.14And they lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted Elohim in the dry land.15And He gave them their request, and sent leanness into their soul.16They provoked Moshe (Moses) also in the camp, and Aharon (Aaron) the holy one of Yahuah.17The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan and closed upon the congregation of Aviram (Abiram).18And a fire was kindled in their congregation, and a flame burnt up the sinners.19And they made a calf in Chorev (Horeb), and worshipped the graven image,20and they changed their glory into the similitude of a calf that feeds on grass.21They forgot Elohim that saved them, who had wrought great deeds in Mitzrayim;22wondrous works in the land of Cham (Ham), and terrible things at the Yam Suf.23So He said that He would have destroyed them, had not Moshe His chosen one stood before Him in the breach, to turn Him away from the fierceness of His anger, so that He should not destroy them.24Moreover they set at nothing the desirable land, and believed not His word.25And they murmured in their tents: they listened not to the voice of Yahuah.26So He lifted up His hand against them, to cast them down in the wilderness;27and to cast down their seed amongst the Goyim (nations), and to scatter them in the countries.28They were joined also to Beelphegor (Baal-Peor), and ate the sacrifices of the dead. And they provoked Him with their devices;29and destruction was multiplied amongst them.30Then Pinchas (Phinehas) stood up, and made kapparah (atonement): and the plague ceased.31And it was counted to him for tzedakah (righteousness), to all generations forever.32They provoked Him also at the water of Merivah (Strife), and Moshe was hurt for their sakes;33for they provoked his spirit, and he spoke unadvisedly with his lips.34They destroyed not the nations which Yahuah told them to destroy;35but were mingled with the Goyim, and learned their works.36And they served their graven images; and it became an offence to them.37And they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to shedim (demons),38and shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Kena’an (Canaan); and the land was defiled with blood.39And was polluted with their works; and they went a whoring with their own devices.40So Yahuah was very angry with His people, and He abhorred His inheritance.41And He delivered them into the hands of their enemies; and they that hated them ruled over them.42And their enemies oppressed them, and they were brought down under their hands.43Many a time He delivered them; but they provoked Him by their counsel, and they were brought low by their iniquities.44Yet Yahuah looked upon their affliction, when He heard their petition.45And He remembered His beriyt (covenant), and repented according to the multitude of His mercy.46And He caused them to be pitied in the sight of all who carried them captive.47Save us, O Yahuah our Elohim, and gather us from amongst the Goyim, that we may give thanks to Your holy Shem (Name), that we may glory in Your praise.48Blessed be Yahuah, Elohei Yisra’el (the God of Israel), from everlasting and to everlasting; and all the people shall say, Amen, Amen.

1HalleluYAH. Give thanks to Yahuah, for He is good; for His mercy endures forever.2Let them say so who have been redeemed by Yahuah, whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy;3and gathered them out of the countries, from the east, and west, and north, and south.4They wandered in the wilderness in a dry land; they found no way to a city of habitation.5Hungry and thirsty, their nefesh (soul) fainted in them.6Then they cried to Yahuah in their affliction, and He delivered them out of their distresses.7And He guided them into a straight path, that they might go to a city of habitation.8Let them acknowledge to Yahuah His mercies, and His wonderful works to the children of men.9For He satisfies the empty nefesh, and fills the hungry nefesh with good things,10even them that sit in darkness and the shadow of mavet (death), fettered in poverty and iron;11because they rebelled against the words of Elohim, and provoked the counsel of Elyon (the Most High).12So their lev (heart) was brought low with troubles; they were weak, and there was no helper.13Then they cried to Yahuah in their affliction, and He saved them out of their distresses.14And He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of mavet, and broke their bonds asunder.15Let them acknowledge to Yahuah His mercies, and His wonders to the children of men.16For He broke to pieces the brazen gates, and crushed the iron bars.17He helped them out of the way of their iniquity; for they were brought low because of their iniquities.18Their nefesh abhorred all meat; and they drew near to the gates of mavet.19Then they cried to Yahuah in their affliction, and He saved them out of their distresses.20He sent His Davar (Word), and healed them, and delivered them out of their destructions.21Let them acknowledge to Yahuah His mercies, and His wonderful works to the children of men.22And let them offer to Him the sacrifice of praise, and proclaim His works with exultation.23They that go down to the sea in ships, doing business in many waters;24these men have seen the works of Yahuah, and His wonders in the deep.25He speaks, and the stormy wind arises, and its waves are lifted up.26They go up to the Shamayim (heavens), and go down to the depths; their nefesh melts because of troubles.27They are troubled, they stagger as a drunkard, and all their chochmah (wisdom) is swallowed up.28Then they cry to Yahuah in their affliction, and He brings them out of their distresses.29And He commands the storm, and it is calmed into a gentle breeze, and its waves are still.30And they are glad, because they are quiet; and He guides them to their desired haven.31Let them acknowledge to Yahuah His mercies, and His wonderful works to the children of men.32Let them exalt Him in the kahal (congregation) of the people, and praise Him in the seat of the elders.33He turns rivers into a desert, and streams of water into a dry land;34a fruitful land into saltness, for the wickedness of them that dwell in it.35He turns a wilderness into pools of water, and a dry land into streams of water.36And there He causes the hungry to dwell, and they establish for themselves cities of habitation.37And they sow fields, and plant vineyards, and they yield fruit of increase.38And He blesses them, and they multiply exceedingly, and He diminishes not the number of their cattle.39Again they become few, and are brought low, by the pressure of evils and pain.40Contempt is poured upon their princes, and He causes them to wander in a desert and trackless land.41But He helps the poor out of poverty, and makes him families as a flock.42The upright shall see and rejoice; and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.43Who is wise, and will observe these things, and understand the mercies of Yahuah?

Elohim has spoken in His Kodesh (Sanctuary);7"I will be exalted, and will divide Shekhem (Sicima), and will measure out the valley of Succoth (tents).8Gil’ad (Galaad) is Mine; and Menasheh (Manasses) is Mine; and Ephraim is the help of My head; Yehudah (Judah) is My Melek (king);9Moav (Moab) is the cauldron of My hope; over Edom (Idumea) will I cast My sandal; the Pelishtim (Philistines) are made subject to Me.”10Who will bring me into the fortified city? Or who will guide me to Edom?11Will not You, O Elohim, who have rejected us? And will not You, O Elohim, go forth with our hosts?12Give us help from tribulation: for vain is the yeshuah (help/salvation) of man.13Through Elohim we shall do valiantly; and He will bring to nothing our enemies.

1For the End, a Psalm of David. O Elohim, pass not over my praise in silence;2for the mouth of the sinner and the mouth of the crafty man have been opened against me: they have spoken against me with a crafty tongue.3And they have compassed me with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.4Instead of loving me, they falsely accused me: but I continued to pray.5And they rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.6Set You a sinner against him; and let HaSatan stand at his right hand.7When he is judged, let him go forth condemned: and let his prayer become sin.8Let his days be few: and let another take his pekudah (office of overseer).9Let his children be orphans, and his wife a widow.10Let his children wander without a dwelling-place, and beg: let them be cast out of their habitations.11Let his creditor exact all that belongs to him: and let strangers spoil his labours.12Let him have no helper; neither let there be any one to have compassion on his fatherless children.13Let his children be given up to utter destruction: in one generation let his name be blotted out.14Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before Yahuah; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.15Let them be before Yahuah continually; and let their memorial be blotted out from the earth.16Because he remembered not to show mercy, but persecuted the needy and poor man, and that to kill him that was pricked in the heart.17He loved cursing also, and it shall come upon him; and he took not pleasure in blessing, so it shall be removed far from him.18Yes, he put on cursing as a garment, and it is come as water into his bowels, and as oil into his bones.19Let it be to him as a garment which he puts on, and as a girdle with which he girds himself continually.20This is the dealing of Yahuah with those who falsely accuse me, and of them that speak evil against my nefesh (soul).21But You, O Yahuah, Adonai, deal mercifully with me, for Your Name's sake: for Your chesed (mercy) is good.22Deliver me, for I am poor and needy; and my lev (heart) is troubled within me.23I am removed as a shadow in its going down: I am tossed up and down like locusts.24My knees are weakened through fasting, and my flesh is changed by reason of the lack of oil.25I became also a reproach to them: when they saw me, they shook their heads.26Help me, O Yahuah my Elohim; and save me according to Your mercy.27And let them know that this is Your hand; and that You, Yahuah, have wrought it.28Let them curse, but You shall bless: let them that rise up against me be ashamed, but let Your servant rejoice.29Let those that falsely accuse me be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their shame as with a mantle.30I will give thanks to Yahuah abundantly with my mouth; and in the midst of many I will praise Him.31For He stood on the right hand of the poor, to save me from them that persecute my nefesh.

1HalleluYAH. Blessed are the blameless in the way, who walk in the Torah (Law) of Yahuah.2Blessed are they that search out His edot (testimonies): they shall diligently seek Him with the whole lev (heart).3For they that work iniquity have not walked in His ways.4You have commanded us diligently to keep Your pikudim (precepts).5O that my ways were directed to keep Your chukkim (ordinances)!6Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all Your mitzvot (commandments).7I will give You thanks with uprightness of lev, when I have learned the judgments of Your righteousness.8I will keep Your chukkim (ordinances): O forsake me not utterly.9Wherewith shall a young man direct his way? By keeping Your words.10With my whole lev have I diligently sought You: cast me not away from Your mitzvot.11I have hidden Your imrah (oracles) in my lev, that I might not sin against You.12Blessed are You, O Yahuah: teach me Your chukkim.13With my lips have I declared all the judgments of Your mouth.14I have delighted in the way of Youredot as much as in all riches.15I will meditate on Your commandments, and consider Your ways.16I will meditate on Your chukkim; I will not forget Your Davar (word).17Render a recompense to Your servant: so, shall I live, and keep Your words.18Unveil my eyes, and I shall perceive wondrous things out of Your Torah.19I am a stranger in the earth: hide not Your mitzvot from me.20My nefesh (soul) has longed exceedingly for Your mishpatim (judgments) at all times.21You have rebuked the proud: cursed are they that turn aside from Your mitzvot.22Remove from me reproach and contempt, for I have sought out Your edot (testimonies).23For princes sat and spoke against me: but Your servant was meditating on Your chukkim.24For Your edot are my meditation, and Your chukkim are my counsellors.25My nefesh has cleaved to the ground; quicken me according to Your Davar (Word).26I declared my ways, and You heard me: teach me Your chukkim.27Instruct me in the way of Your pikudim; and I will meditate on Your wondrous works.28My nefesh has slumbered for sorrow; strengthen me with Your words.29Remove from me the way of iniquity; and be merciful to me by Your Torah.30I have chosen the way of truth; and have not forgotten Your mishpatim.31I have cleaved to Your edot, O Yahuah; put me not to shame.32I ran the way of Your mitzvot, when You did enlarge my lev.33Teach me, O Yahuah, the way of Your chukkim, and I shall seek it out continually.34Instruct me, and I shall search out Your Torah, and will keep it with my whole lev.35Guide me in the path of Your mitzvot; for I have delighted in it.36Incline my lev to Your edot, and not to covetousness.37Turn away my eyes that I may not behold vanity: quicken me in Your way.38Confirm Your oracle to Your servant, that he may fear You.39Take away my reproach which I have feared: for Your mishpatim are good.40Behold, I have desired Your pikudim: quicken me in Your righteousness.41And let Your chesed (mercy) come upon me, O Yahuah; even Your Yeshuah (salvation), according to Your word.42So shall I render an answer to them that reproach me: for I have trusted in Your words.43And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in Your mishpatim.44So shall I keep Your Torah continually, for ever and ever.45And I walked in a wide place: for I sought out Your pikudim.46And I spoke of Your edot before kings, and was not ashamed.47And I meditated on Your mitzvot, which I greatly loved.48And I lifted up my hands to Your mitzvot which I loved; and I meditated on Your chukkim.49Remember Your Devarim (words) to Your servant, in which You have caused me to hope.50This is my comfort in my affliction: for Your oracle has quickened me.51The proud have greatly derided me: yet I have not declined from Your Torah.52I remembered Your mishpatim of old, O Yahuah; and was comforted.53Horror has taken hold upon me because of the sinners that forsake Your Torah.54Your chukkim were my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.55I remembered Your Shem (Name) in the night, O Yahuah, and kept Your Torah.56This I had, because I kept Your pikudim.57You are my portion, O Yahuah: I said that I would keep Your words.58I entreated Your Panim (Presence) with my whole lev: be merciful unto me according to Your word.59I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto Your edot.60I prepared myself, (and was not terrified,) to keep Your mitzvot.61The snares of sinners entangled me: but I forgot not thy Your Torah.62At midnight I arose to give thanks to You, because for the mishpatim of your63I am a companion of all them that fear You, and of them that keep Your thy commandments (mitzvot)64The earth, O Yahuah, is full of Your chesed: teach me Your chukkim.65You have dealt well with Your servant, O Yahuah, according unto Your word.66Teach me goodness, discernment and knowledge: for I have believed Your mitzvot.67Before I was afflicted, I went astray: but now have I kept Your word.68You are good, and do good; teach me Your chukkim.69The injustice of the proud has been multiplied against me: but I will search out thy mitzvot with all my heart (lev).70Their lev has been curdled like milk but I have meditated on Your Torah.71It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn Your chukkim.72The Torah of Your mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver73Your hands have made me, and fashioned me: instruct me, that I may learn Your mitzvot (commandments).74They that fear You will see me and rejoice: for I have hoped in Your devarim (words).75I know, O Yahuah, that Your mishpatim are righteous, and that You in emet (truthfulness) have afflicted me.76Let, I pray You, Your chesed (mercy) be to comfort me, according to Your word to Your servant.77Let Your compassions come to me, that I may live: for Your Torah is my meditation.78Let the proud be ashamed; for they transgressed against me unjustly: but I will meditate in Your mitzvot.79Let those that fear thee, and those that know thy testimonies (edot), turn to me.80Let mine heart (lev) be blameless in thine ordinances (chukkim), that I may not be ashamed.81My nefesh faints for Your Salvation (Yeshuah): I hope in Your words.82Mine eyes failed in waiting for Your davar (word), saying, “When will You comfort me?”83For I am become like a wine-skin in the frost; yet do I not forget Your chukkim .84How many are the days of Your servant? When will You execute judgment (mishpat) for me on them who persecute me?85Transgressors told me idle tales; but they are not according to Your Torah (Law), O Adonai .86All Your mitzvot (commandments) are emet (truth); they persecuted me unjustly; help You me!87They nearly made an end of me in the aretz (earth); but I forsook not Your mitzvot.88Quicken me according to Your chesed (mercy); so shall I keep the edut (testimonies) of Your mouth.89Your davar (word), O Yahuah, abides in the Shamayim (heavens) le’olam (forever).90Your emet (truth) endures to all generations; You have founded the aretz (earth), and it abides.91The yom (day) continues by Your arrangement; for all things are Your servants.92Were it not that Your Torah (law) is my hegyon (meditation), then I should have perished in my affliction.93I will never forget Your chukim (ordinances); for with them You have quickened me.94I am Yours; save me, for I have sought out Your chukim.95Resha’im (sinners) laid wait for me to destroy me; but I understood Your edut (testimonies).96I have seen an end of all perfection; but Your mitzvah (commandment) is very broad.97How I have loved Thy Torah (law), O Yahuah! It is my meditation all the day.98Thou hast made me wiser than my enemies in Thy mitzvah (commandment); for it is mine forever.99I have more understanding than all my teachers; for Your edot (testimonies) are my meditation.100I understand more than the aged; because I have sought out Your pikudim (precepts).101I have kept back my feet from every evil way, that I might keep Your davar (word).102I have not declined from Your mishpatim (judgments); for you have instructed me.103How sweet are Thine imrah (oracles) to my throat! More so than honey to my mouth!104I gain understanding by Thy pikudim: therefore, I have hated every way of unrighteousness.105Your davar is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my paths.106I have sworn and determined to keep the mishpatim of Your tzedakah (righteousness).107I have been very greatly afflicted, O Yahuah: quicken me, according to Your davar.108Accept, I pray Thee, O Yahuah, the freewill-offerings of my mouth, and teach me Your mishpatim.109My soul is continually in Your hands; and I have not forgotten Your Torah.110Sinners spread a snare for me; but I erred not from Your pikudim.111I have inherited Thy edot forever; for they are the joy of my heart.112I have inclined my heart to perform Thy chukim (ordinances) forever, in return for Thy mercies.113I have hated transgressors; but I have loved Your Torah.114You are my Helper and my Supporter; I have hoped in Your davar.115Depart from me, ye evil-doers; for I will search out the mitzvot of my Elohim.116Uphold me according to Your davar, and quicken me; and make me not ashamed of my expectation.117Help me, and I shall be saved; and I will meditate in Your chukim continually.118Thou hast brought to nought all that depart from Your chukim; for their inward thought is unrighteous.119I have reckoned all the sinners of the earth as transgressors; therefore have I loved Your edot.120Penetrate my flesh with Your fear; for I am afraid of Your mishpatim.121I have done mishpat (judgment) and tzedakah; deliver me not up to them that injure me.122Receive Your servant for good: let not the proud accuse me falsely.123Mine eyes have failed for Your Yeshua (salvation), and for the word of Your tzedakah.124Deal with Your servant according to Your chesed (mercy), and teach me Your chukim.125I am Your servant; instruct me, and I shall know Your edot.126It is time for Yahuah to work: they have utterly broken Your Torah.127Therefore have I loved Your mitzvot more than gold, or the topaz.128Therefore I directed myself according to all Thy pikudim(precepts): I have hated every unjust way.129Thy edot are wonderful: therefore my soul has sought them out.130The manifestation of Thy devarim (words) will enlighten, and instruct the simple.131I opened my mouth, and drew breath: for I earnestly longed after Thy mitzvot.132Look upon me and have mercy upon me, after the manner of them that love Thy Shem (Name).133Order my steps according to Thy davar : and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.134Cause Thy face to shine upon Thy servant: and teach me Thy chukim.135Mine eyes have been bathed in streams of water, because I kept not Thy Torah.136Righteous art Thou, O Adonai, and upright are Thy mishpatim.137Thou hast commanded tzedakah and perfect emet (truth), as Thy edot.138Thy zeal has quite wasted me: because mine enemies have forgotten Thy devarim.139Thy davar has been very fully tried; and Thy servant loves it.140I am young and despised: yet I have not forgotten Thy pikudim.141Thy tzedakah is an everlasting tzedakah, and Thy Torah is emet.142Afflictions and distresses found me: but Thy mitzvot were my meditation.143Thy edot are an everlasting tzedakah: instruct me, and I shall live.144I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O Adonai: I will search out Thy chukim.145I cried to Thee; save me, and I will keep Thy edot.146I arose before the dawn, and cried: I hoped in Thy devarim.147Mine eyes prevented the dawn, that I might meditate on Thine imrah.148Hear my voice, O Adonai, according to Thy chesed; quicken me according to Thy mishpat.149They have drawn nigh who persecuted me unlawfully; and they are far removed from Thy Torah.150Thou art near, O Adonai; and all Thy ways are emet.151I have known of old concerning Thy edot, that Thou hast founded them forever.152Look upon mine affliction, and rescue me; for I have not forgotten Thy Torah.153Plead my cause, and ransom me: quicken me because of Thy davar.154Yeshua is far from the resha'im (wicked): for they have not searched out Thy chukim.155Thy mercies, O Adonai, are many: quicken me according to Thy mishpat.156Many are they that persecute me and oppress me: but I have not declined from Thy edot.157I beheld men acting foolishly, and I pined away; for they kept not Thine imrah.158Behold, I have loved Thy pikudim, O Adonai: quicken me in Thy chesed.159The beginning of Thy davar is emet; and all the mishpatim of Thy tzedakah endure forever.160Princes persecuted me without a cause, but my heart feared because of Thy devarim.161I will exult because of Thine imrah, as one that finds much spoil.162I hate and abhor unrighteousness; but I love Thy Torah.163Seven times in a day have I praised Thee because of the mishpatim of Thy tzedakah.164Great shalom (peace) have they that love Thy Torah: and there is no stumbling-block to them.165I waited for Thy Yeshua, O Adonai, and have loved Thy mitzvot.166My soul has kept Thy edot, and loved them exceedingly.167I have kept Thy pikudim and Thy edot; for all my ways are before Thee, O Adonai.168Let my supplication come near before Thee, O Adonai; instruct me according to Thine imrah.169Let my petition come in before Thee, O Adonai; deliver me according to Thine imrah.170Let my lips utter a hymn, when Thou shalt have taught me Thy chukim.171Let my tongue utter Thine imrah; for all Thy mitzvot are tzedakah.172Let Thine hand be prompt to save me; for I have chosen Thy pikudim.173I have longed after Thy Yeshua, O Adonai; and Thy Torah is my meditation.174My soul shall live, and shall praise Thee; and Thy mishpatim shall help me.175I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek Thy servant; for I have not forgotten Thy mitzvot.

For David, a Psalm of Yirmeyahu: The Rivers of Bavel Where the Kinorot Hung Silent, the Unforgotten Yerushalayim, and the Day of Edom's Cry and Bavel's Recompense
1.0×
1By the rivers of Bavel (Babylon), there we sat; and wept when we remembered Tziyon (Sion).2We hung our kinorot (harps) on the willows in the midst of it.3For there they that had taken us captive asked of us the words of a shir (song); and they that had carried us away asked a hymn, saying, “Sing us one of the songs of Tziyon.”4How should we sing the song of Yahuah (the Lord) in a strange land?5If I forget you, O Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), let my right hand forget its skill.6May my tongue cleave to my throat, if I do not remember you; if I do not prefer Yerushalayim as the chief of my joy.7Remember, O Yahuah, the children of Edom (Edom) in the day of Yerushalayim; who said, “Rase it, rase it, even to its foundations.”8Wretched daughter of Bavel! Blessed shall he be who shall reward you as you have rewarded us.9Blessed shall he be who shall seize and dash your infants against the rock.

1.0×
1I will give thanks to You, O Yahuah (Lord), with my whole lev (heart); and I will sing psalms to You before the malachim (angels); for You have heard all the words of my mouth.2I will worship toward Your Heichal Kodesh (holy temple), and give thanks to Your Shem (Name), on account of Your chesed (mercy) and Your emet (truth); for You have magnified Your Shem Kadosh (holy Name) above every thing.3In whatever day I shall call upon You, hear me speedily; You shall abundantly provide me with Your power in my nefesh (soul).4Let all the kings of the earth, O Yahuah, give thanks to You; for they have heard all the words of Your mouth.5And let them sing in the ways of Yahuah; for great is the Kavod (glory) of Yahuah.6For Yahuah is high, and yet regards the lowly; and He knows high things from afar off.7Though I should walk in the midst of affliction, You will quicken me; You have stretched forth Your hands against the wrath of my enemies, and Your right hand has saved me.8O Yahuah, You shall recompense them on my behalf: Your chesed, O Yahuah, endures for ever: overlook not the works of Your hands.

For the End, a Psalm of David: The Inscrutable Knowledge of the Fashioner, the All-Present Ruach from Shamayim to She'ol, and the Perfect Hatred of Yahuah's Enemies
1.0×
1O Yahuah (Lord), You have proved me, and known me.2You know my down-sitting and my up-rising: You understand my thoughts long before.3You have traced my path and my bed, and have foreseen all my ways.4For there is no unrighteous word in my tongue: behold, O Yahuah, You have known all things,5the last and the first: You have fashioned me, and laid Your hand upon me.6The knowledge of You is too wonderful for me; it is very difficult, I cannot attain to it.7Whither shall I go from Your Ruach (Spirit)? And whither shall I flee from Your Panim (Presence)?8If I should go up to Shamayim (heaven), You are there: if I should go down to She'ol (hell), You are present.9If I should spread my wings to fly straight forward, and sojourn at the extremity of the sea, it would be vain,10for even there Your hand would guide me, and Your right hand would hold me.11When I said, “Surely the darkness will cover me”; even the night was light in my luxury.12For darkness will not be darkness with You; but night will be light as day: as its darkness, so shall its light be to You.13For You, O Yahuah, have possessed my kilyot (reins); You have helped me from my mother's beten (womb).14I will give You thanks; for You are fearfully wondrous; wondrous are Your works; and my nefesh (soul) knows it well.15My bones, which You made in secret, were not hidden from You, nor my substance, in the lowest parts of the earth.16Your eyes saw my unwrought substance, and all men shall be written in Your sefer (book); they shall be formed by day, though there should for a time be no one among them.17But Your friends, O Elohim (God), have been greatly honoured by me; their rule has been greatly strengthened.18I will number them, and they shall be multiplied beyond the sand; I awake, and am still with You.19Oh that You would kill the wicked, O Elohim; depart from me, you men of blood.20For You will say concerning their thought, that they shall take Your cities in vain.21Have I not hated them, O Yahuah, that hate You? And wasted away because of Your enemies?22I have hated them with perfect hatred; they were counted my enemies.23Prove me, O El (God), and know my lev (heart); examine me, and know my paths;24and see if there is any way of iniquity in me, and lead me in an everlasting way.

1Rescue me, O Yahuah (Lord), from the evil man; deliver me from the unjust man.2Who have devised injustice in their lev (hearts); all the day they prepared war.3They have sharpened their tongue as the tongue of a nachash (serpent); the poison of asps is under their lips. Pause.4Keep me, O Yahuah, from the hand of the sinner; rescue me from unjust men; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.5The proud have hid a snare for me, and have stretched out ropes for snares for my feet; they set a stumbling block for me near the path. Pause.6I said to Yahuah, “You are my Elohim (God); listen, O Yahuah, to the voice of my supplication.”7O Yahuah Elohim, the strength of my Yeshuah (salvation); You have screened my head in the day of battle.8Deliver me not, O Yahuah, to the sinner, according to my desire: they have devised mischief against me; forsake me not, lest they should be exalted. Pause.9As for the head of them that compass me, the mischief of their lips shall cover them.10Coals of fire shall fall upon them on the earth; and You shall cast them down in afflictions: they shall not bear up under them.11A talkative man shall not prosper on the earth: evils shall hunt the unrighteous man to destruction.12I know that Yahuah will maintain the cause of the ani (poor), and the right of the evyonim (needy ones).13Surely the Tzaddikim (righteous) shall give thanks to Your Shem (Name): the upright shall dwell in Your Panim (Presence).

1O Yahuah (Lord), I have cried to You; hear me: attend to the voice of my supplication, when I cry to You.2Let my tefillah (prayer) be set forth before You as ketoret (incense); the lifting up of my hands as an evening sacrifice.3Set a watch, O Yahuah, on my mouth, and a strong door about my lips.4Incline not my lev (heart) to evil things, to employ pretexts for sins, with those who work iniquity. Let me not unite with their choice ones.5The Tzaddik (righteous) shall chasten me with chesed (mercy), and reprove me: but let not the oil of the sinner anoint my head: for yet shall my tefillah also be in their pleasures.6Their mighty ones have been swallowed up near the rock: they shall hear my words, for they are sweet.7As a lump of earth is crushed upon the ground, our bones have been scattered by the mouth of She'ol (the grave).8For my eyes are to You, O Yahuah Elohim (Lord God): I have hoped in You; take not away my nefesh (life).9Keep me from the snare which they have set for me, and from the stumbling blocks of them that work iniquity.10Sinners shall fall by their own net: I am alone until I shall escape.

1O Yahuah (Lord), attend to my tefillah (prayer): listen to my supplication in Your emet (truth); hear me in Your tzedakah (righteousness).2And enter not into judgment with Your servant, for in Your sight shall no man living be justified.3For the enemy has persecuted my nefesh (soul); he has brought my chayim (life) down to the ground; he has made me to dwell in a dark place, as those that have been long dead.4Therefore my ruach (spirit) was grieved in me; my lev (heart) was troubled within me.5I remembered the days of old; and I meditated on all Your doings: yes, I meditated on the works of Your hands.6I spread forth my hands to You; my nefesh thirsts for You, as a dry land. Pause.7Hear me speedily, O Yahuah; my ruach has failed; turn not away Your Panim (face) from me, else I shall be like to them that go down to the pit.8Cause me to hear Your chesed (mercy) in the morning; for I have hoped in You; make known to me, O Yahuah, the way wherein I should walk; for I have lifted up my nefesh to You.9Deliver me from my enemies, O Yahuah; for I have fled to You for refuge.10Teach me to do Your will; for You are my Elohim (God); Your good Ruach (Spirit) shall guide me in the straight way.11You shall quicken me, O Yahuah, for Your Shem 's (Name's) sake; in Your tzedakah You shall bring my nefesh out of affliction.12And in Your chesed You will destroy my enemies, and will destroy all those that afflict my nefesh; for I am Your servant.

Or the son of man, that You take account of him?4Man is like to vanity: his days pass as a shadow.5O Yahuah, bow Your Shamayim (heavens), and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.6Send lightning, and You shall scatter them: send forth Your arrows, and You shall discomfit them.7Send forth Your hand from on high; rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters, out of the hand of strange children;8whose mouth has spoken vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of iniquity.9O Elohim, I will sing a newshir (song) to You: I will play to You on a nevel (lute) of ten strings.10Even to Him who gives Yeshuah (salvation) to kings: who redeems His servant David from the hurtful sword.11Deliver me, and rescue me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth has spoken vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of iniquity;12whose children are as plants, strengthened in their youth: their daughters are beautiful, sumptuously adorned after the similitude of a temple.13Their garners are full, and bursting with one kind of store after another; their sheep are prolific, multiplying in their streets.14Their oxen are fat: there is no falling down of a hedge, nor going out, nor cry in their folds.15Men bless the people to whom this lot belongs, but blessed is the people whose Elohim is Yahuah.

1.0×
1I was the smallest of my achim (brothers) and the youngest of the banim (sons) of my father. He made me ro'eh (shepherd) of his flock and ruler over his kids.2And I discovered a lion and a wolf, and I killed and rent them.3My hands made a flute, and my fingers a nevel (lyre), and so I offered glory to Yahuah. I said in my nefesh (soul): the mountains do not witness to Him, nor do the hills proclaim; the trees praise my words and the flock my deeds.4For who can announce and who can speak of, and who can recount His deeds? The Adon HaKol (Lord of all) saw, the El HaKol (God of all) — He heard, and He listened5to everything.6He sent His navi (prophet) Shmuel (Samuel),7and removed me from the tzon (sheep) of my father8to anoint me, to make me great. My brothers went out to meet him, they were handsome of figure, handsome of appearance. Although they were tall of stature with beautiful hair, Yahuah Elohim did not choose them.9But He sent and fetched me from behind the flock and anointed me with shemen kodesh (holy oil); and He made me a nagid (leader) of His am (people), and a ruler over the banei beriyto (sons of His Beriyt/covenant).10David's First Mighty Deed After the Navi of Elohim Had Anointed Him: The Three Stones Cast in the Strength of Yahuah, the Smiting of the Forehead of Golyat, and the Reproach Removed from the Sons of Yisra'el by the Pelishti's Own Sword11When he fought Golyat (Goliath) in single combat.12Then I saw the Pelishti (Philistine) uttering insults from the ranks of the enemy.13In the strength of Yahuah, I cast three stones at him. I smote him in the forehead, and felled him to the earth.14But I drew out his own sword, and with it15cut off his head, and thereby removed reproach from the sons of Yisra'el.

Have pity, O Yahuah , on Your bachir (elect one),3and save Your kadosh (holy one) from destruction; so that he may rehearse Your glories in all his times, and may praise Your great Shem (Name): when You have delivered him from the hands of the destroying lion and of the ravening wolf,4and when You have rescued my captivity from the hands5of the beasts.

1With a loud voice glorify El (God); proclaim His splendour in the congregation of the rabbim (many).2Glorify His Shem (name) in the multitude of the Tzaddikim (righteous), and celebrate His majesty with the faithful.3Unite your nefashot (souls) with the good and with the perfect to glorify Elyon (the Most High).4Assemble together to make His Yeshuah (salvation) known, and do not hesitate to make known His might and His majesty to all the simple.5For it is to make known the Kavod (glory) of Yahuah that Chochmah (wisdom) has been given; and it is for recounting His many deeds, that she has been revealed to humans:6to make His power known to the simple, to explain His greatness to those lacking understanding, those who are far from her gates, those who have strayed from her entrances.7For Elyon is the AdonYa'akov (Lord of Jacob), and His majesty is upon all His works.8And the man who glorifies Elyon is accepted by Him like one who brings an offering, like one who offers rams and calves, like one who fattens the altar with many olot (holocausts); as a pleasing aroma from the hand of the Tzaddikim .9From the gates of the Tzaddikim her voice is heard, and her song from the assembly of the Chasidim (pious).10When they eat until they are full, she is mentioned, and when they drink in community together.11Their meditation is on the Torah (law) of Elyon , their words for making His power known.12How distant is her word from the wicked, how distant is her knowledge from all the insolent.13Behold, the eyes of Yahuah have pity upon the good. And He increases His chesed (mercy) upon those who glorify Him; He will deliver their nefesh from the time of evil.14Bless Yahuah who redeems the humble from the hand of foreigners, and delivers the pure from the hand of the wicked,15who establishes a keren (horn) out of Ya'akov (Jacob) and a shofet (judge) of the peoples out of Yisra'el (Israel);16He will spread out His ohel (tent) in Tziyon (Zion), and will live forever in Yerushalayim (Jerusalem).

1O Yahuah (Yahweh), I have called to You, be attentive to me.2I spread forth my palms to Your Kodesh (holy) dwelling; incline Your ear and grant me my petition, and do not withhold my request from me.3Build up my nefesh (soul) and do not cast it down; and do not abandon it in the presence of the wicked.4May the ShofetEmet (Judge of Truth) turn the rewards of evil away from me. O Yahuah, do not judge me according to my sin; for no living man is tzedek (righteous) in Your presence.5Give me discernment, O Yahuah; teach me Your pikudim (precepts) from Your Torah (law), so that the multitude may hear of Your works and peoples may honor Your Kavod (glory).6Remember me and do not forget me, and do not lead me into unbearable hardships.7Cast the sin of my youth far from me, and may my sins not be remembered against me.8O Yahuah , purify me from the evil plague, and do not let it return to me. Dry up its roots within me, and do not let its leaves sprout within me.9You are my glory, O Yahuah , therefore my request is fulfilled in Your presence. To whom can I cry so that he would grant my request? And as for the sons of the humans— what more can their strength do?10My trust, O Yahuah , is before You. I cried “O Yahuah ” and He answered me, and He healed the brokenness of my lev (heart).11I slumbered and slept; I dreamed, and indeed I awoke.12You supported me, O Yahuah , and I called up Yahuah my deliverer. Now I will behold their shame; I have trusted in You and I will not be ashamed.13Render glory forever and ever.14Redeem Yisra'el (Israel), O Yahuah , Your bachir (elect one), and the house of Ya'akov (Jacob), Your chosen one.

1For a maggot cannot praise You, nor a worm recount Your chesed (loving-kindness).2But the living can thank You, all those who stumble can thank You, when You reveal Your chesed to them, and when You teach them Your tzedakah (righteousness).3For in Your hand is the nefesh (soul) of every living being; You have given neshamah (breath) to all flesh.4Deal with us, O Yahuah (Yahweh), according to Your goodness, according to the greatness of Your rachamim (mercies), and according to the greatness of Your righteous deeds.5Yahuah listens to the voice of those who love His Shem (name), and does not deprive them of His chesed .6Blessed be Yahuah , who performs righteous deeds, who crowns His Chasidim (pious ones) with chesed and rachamim .7My nefesh cries out to praise Your Shem , to give thanks with shouts for Your rachamim , to proclaim Your faithfulness; there is no limit to Your praises!8I was near death because of my sins, and my avonot (iniquities) had sold me to She'ol (the Netherworld); but You saved me, O Yahuah , according to the greatness of Your rachamim and according to the greatness of Your righteous deeds.9Indeed I have loved Your Shem , and I have found refuge in Your shelter.10When I remember Your power my lev (heart) is strengthened, and I lean upon Your rachamim .11Forgive my sin, O Yahuah , and purify me from my iniquity.12Bestow on me a ruach (spirit) of faithfulness and knowledge, and do not let me be dishonored in ruin.13Do not let Belial dominate me, nor an unclean ruach; let neither pain, nor the yetzer hara (evil inclination) take possession of my bones.14For You, O Yahuah, are my praise, and in You I hope all the day long.15Let my achim (brothers) rejoice with me, and my father's house is astounded by Your graciousness.16[...] [...] forever I shall rejoice in You.

1I remember You for blessing, O Tziyon (Zion); with all my strength I have loved You.2May Your memory be blessed forever!3Great is Your hope, O Tziyon, that shalom (peace) and Your expected Yeshuah (salvation) will come.4Generation after generation will dwell in You and generations of Chasidim (pious ones) will be Your splendor.5Those who yearn for the day of YourYeshuah will rejoice in the greatness of Your Kavod (glory).6They will be suckled on the fullness of Your Kavod, and in Your magnificent streets they will scamper.7You will remember the pious deeds of Your nevi'im (prophets), and You will glorify Yourself in the deeds of Your Chasidim.8Purge violence from Your midst; let falsehood and deceit be cut off from You.9Your banim (sons) will rejoice in Your midst, and Your precious ones will be united with You.10How they have hoped for Your Yeshuah, how Your perfect ones have mourned for You.11Your hope does not perish, O Tziyon , nor will Your longing be forgotten.12Who is the man to have ever perished in tzedakah (righteousness), or who is the man to have ever survived in his iniquity?13A man is tested according to his path; each is repaid according to his deeds.14All around You, Your oppressors are cut off, O Tziyon , and all who hate You have been scattered.15Your praise is a pleasing aroma, O Tziyon , ascending throughout all the world.16Many times I remember You for blessing; with all my lev (heart) I bless You.17May You attain to everlasting tzedakah , and may You receive the blessings from the glorious ones.18Accept the vision which speaks of You, and the dreams of nevi'im requested for You.19Be exalted and spread out, O Tziyon ! Praise Elyon (the Most High), Your Redeemer: let my nefesh (soul) rejoice in Your Kavod !

1[...] Then let the Shamayim (heavens) and eretz (earth) give praise together; then let all the stars of twilight give praise!2Rejoice, O Yehudah (Judah), in your joy; be happy in your happiness, and dance in your machol (dance).3Celebrate your pilgrim chagim (festivals), fulfill your vows, for no longer is Belial in your midst.4May your hand be lifted up! May your right hand prevail!5See, enemies will perish, and all evildoers will be scattered.6But You, Yahuah (Yahweh), are forever, Your Kavod (glory) will be forever and ever!7Praise Yahuah!

1Great and Kadosh (holy) is Yahuah, the holiest of the kedoshim (holy ones) from generation to generation.2Kavod (glory) goes before Him, and following Him is the rush of many waters.3Chesed (loving-kindness) and emet (truth) surround His face; emet and mishpat (judgment) and tzedakah (righteousness) are the pedestal of His throne.4Separating light from deep darkness, He established the dawn by the knowledge of His lev (heart).5When all His malachim (messengers) had seen this, they sang aloud, for He showed them what they had not known.6He crowns the hills with fruit, perfect lechem (food) for every living being.7Blessed is He who has made the eretz (earth) by His power, who has established the world by His Chochmah (wisdom).8By His understanding He stretched out the Shamayim (heavens), and brought forth [the ruach (wind)] from His [storehouses].9He made [lightning bolts for the] rain, and raised mist [from] the end [of the earth].
