Psalms
1-6
Psa
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;
Psa
1:2 but his delight is in Yahweh's law. On his law he meditates day
and night.
Psa
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.
Psa
1:4 The wicked are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind
drives away.
Psa
1:5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor
sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
Psa
1:6 For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the
wicked shall perish.
Psa
2:1 Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot a vain thing?
Psa
2:2 The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take counsel
together, against Yahweh, and against his Anointed, saying,
Psa
2:3 "Let's break their bonds apart, and cast their cords from
us."
Psa
2:4 He who sits in the heavens will laugh. The Lord will have them
in derision.
Psa
2:5 Then he will speak to them in his anger, and terrify them in his
wrath:
Psa
2:6 "Yet I have set my King on my holy hill of Zion."
Psa
2:7 I will tell of the decree. Yahweh said to me, "You are my
son. Today I have become your father.
Psa
2:8 Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance, the
uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.
Psa
2:9 You shall break them with a rod of iron. You shall dash them in
pieces like a potter's vessel."
Psa
2:10 Now therefore be wise, you kings. Be instructed, you judges of
the earth.
Psa
2:11 Serve Yahweh with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
Psa
2:12 Give sincere homage, 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.
Psa
3:1 Yahweh, how my adversaries have increased! Many are those who
rise up against me.
Psa
3:2 Many there are who say of my soul, "There is no help for
him in God." Selah.
Psa
3:3 But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one
who lifts up my head.
Psa
3:4 I cry to Yahweh with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy
hill. Selah.
Psa
3:5 I laid myself down and slept. I awakened; for Yahweh sustains
me.
Psa
3:6 I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people who have set
themselves against me on every side.
Psa
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.
Psa
3:8 Salvation belongs to Yahweh. Your blessing be on your people.
Selah.
Psa
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.
Psa
4:2 You sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into
dishonor? Will you love vanity, and seek after falsehood? Selah.
Psa
4:3 But know that Yahweh has set apart for himself him who is godly:
Yahweh will hear when I call to him.
Psa
4:4 Stand in awe, and don't sin. Search your own heart on your bed,
and be still. Selah.
Psa
4:5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness. Put your trust in Yahweh.
Psa
4:6 Many say, "Who will show us any good?" Yahweh, let the
light of your face shine on us.
Psa
4:7 You have put gladness in my heart, more than when their grain
and their new wine are increased.
Psa
4:8 In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you, Yahweh
alone, make me live in safety.
Psa
5:1 Give ear to my words, Yahweh. Consider my meditation.
Psa
5:2 Listen to the voice of my cry, my King and my God; for to you do
I pray.
Psa
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.
Psa
5:4 For you are not a God who has pleasure in wickedness. Evil can't
live with you.
Psa
5:5 The arrogant shall not stand in your sight. You hate all workers
of iniquity.
Psa
5:6 You will destroy those who speak lies. Yahweh abhors the
bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
Psa
5:7 But as for me, in the abundance of your loving kindness I will
come into your house. I will bow toward your holy temple in reverence
of you.
Psa
5:8 Lead me, Yahweh, in your righteousness because of my enemies.
Make your way straight before my face.
Psa
5:9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth. Their heart is
destruction. Their throat is an open tomb. They flatter with their
tongue.
Psa
5:10 Hold them guilty, God. Let them fall by their own counsels;
Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they
have rebelled against you.
Psa
5:11 But let all those who take refuge in you rejoice, Let them
always shout for joy, because you defend them. Let them also who love
your name be joyful in you.
Psa
5:12 For you will bless the righteous. Yahweh, you will surround him
with favor as with a shield.
Psa
6:1 Yahweh, don't rebuke me in your anger, neither discipline me in
your wrath.
Psa
6:2 Have mercy on me, Yahweh, for I am faint. Yahweh, heal me, for
my bones are troubled.
Psa
6:3 My soul is also in great anguish. But you, Yahweh--how long?
Psa
6:4 Return, Yahweh. Deliver my soul, and save me for your loving
kindness' sake.
Psa
6:5 For in death there is no memory of you. In Sheol, who shall give
you thanks?
Psa
6:6 I am weary with my groaning. Every night I flood my bed. I
drench my couch with my tears.
Psa
6:7 My eye wastes away because of grief. It grows old because of all
my adversaries.
Psa
6:8 Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, for Yahweh has
heard the voice of my weeping.
Psa
6:9 Yahweh has heard my supplication. Yahweh accepts my prayer.
Psa
6:10 May all my enemies be ashamed and dismayed. They shall turn
back, they shall be disgraced suddenly.
