The Psalms

BOOK I

Psalm 1

{1:1} Blessed is the man who doesn't walk in the counsel of the wicked,

Nor stand in the way of sinners,

Nor sit in the seat of scoffers;

{1:2} But his delight is in Yahweh's law;

On his law he meditates day and night.

{1:3} He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water,

That brings forth its fruit in its season,

Whose leaf also does not wither.

Whatever he does shall prosper.

{1:4} The wicked are not so,

But are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

{1:5} Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment,

Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

{1:6} For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous,

But the way of the wicked shall perish.

Psalm 2

{2:1} Why do the nations rage,

And the peoples plot a vain thing?

{2:2} The kings of the earth take a stand,

And the rulers take counsel together,

Against Yahweh, and against his anointed, saying,

{2:3} "Let's break their bonds apart,

And cast away their cords from us."

{2:4} He who sits in the heavens will laugh.

The Lord will have them in derision.

{2:5} Then he will speak to them in his anger,

And terrify them in his wrath:

{2:6} "Yet I have set my king on my holy hill of Zion."

{2:7} I will tell of the decree.

Yahweh said to me, "You are my son.

Today I have become your father.

{2:8} Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance,

The uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.

{2:9} You shall break them with a rod of iron.

You shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel."

{2:10} Now therefore be wise, you kings.

Be instructed, you judges of the earth.

{2:11} Serve Yahweh with fear,

And rejoice with trembling.

{2:12} Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way,

For his wrath will soon be kindled.

Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.

Psalm 3

A Psalm by David, when he fled from Absalom his son.

{3:1} Yahweh, how my adversaries have increased!

Many are those who rise up against me.

{3:2} Many there are who say of my soul,

"There is no help for him in God."

Selah.

{3:3} But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me,

My glory, and the one who lifts up my head.

{3:4} I cry to Yahweh with my voice,

And he answers me out of his holy hill.

Selah.

{3:5} I laid myself down and slept.

I awakened; for Yahweh sustains me.

{3:6} I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people

Who have set themselves against me on every side.

{3:7} Arise, Yahweh!

Save me, my God!

For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone.

You have broken the teeth of the wicked.

{3:8} Salvation belongs to Yahweh.

Your blessing be on your people.

Selah.

Psalm 4

For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm by David.

{4:1} Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness.

Give me relief from my distress.

Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.

{4:2} You sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor?

Will you love vanity, and seek after falsehood?

Selah.

{4:3} But know that Yahweh has set apart for himself him who is godly:

Yahweh will hear when I call to him.

{4:4} Stand in awe, and don't sin.

Search your own heart on your bed, and be still.

Selah.

{4:5} Offer the sacrifices of righteousness.

Put your trust in Yahweh.

{4:6} Many say, "Who will show us any good?"

Yahweh, let the light of your face shine on us.

{4:7} You have put gladness in my heart,

More than when their grain and their new wine are increased.

{4:8} In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep,

For you, Yahweh alone, make me live in safety.

Psalm 5

For the Chief Musician, with the flutes. A Psalm by David.

{5:1} Give ear to my words, Yahweh.

Consider my meditation.

{5:2} Listen to the voice of my cry, my King and my God;

For to you do I pray.

{5:3} Yahweh, in the morning you shall hear my voice.

In the morning I will lay my requests before you, and will watch

expectantly.

{5:4} For you are not a God who has pleasure in wickedness.

Evil can't ...
