And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water, That bringeth forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also doth not wither; And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

Why do the nations rage, And the peoples meditate a vain thing?

Let us break their bonds asunder, And cast away their cords from us.

Then will he speak unto them in his wrath, And vex them in his sore displeasure:

I will tell of the decree: Jehovah said unto me, Thou art my son; This day have I begotten thee.

Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

Serve Jehovah with fear, And rejoice with trembling.

[A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son]. Jehovah, how are mine adversaries increased! Many are they that rise up against me.

But thou, O Jehovah, art a shield about me; My glory and the lifter up of my head.

I laid me down and slept; I awaked; For Jehovah sustaineth me.

Arise, O Jehovah; Save me, O my God: For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; Thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.

[For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of David]. Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness; Thou hast set me at large [when I was] in distress: Have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

But know that Jehovah hath set apart for himself him that is godly: Jehovah will hear when I call unto him.

Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, And put your trust in Jehovah.

Thou hast put gladness in my heart, More than [they have] when their grain and their new wine are increased.

[For the Chief Musician; with the Nehiloth. A Psalm of David]. Give ear to my words, O Jehovah, Consider my meditation.

O Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; In the morning will I order [my prayer] unto thee, and will keep watch.

The arrogant shall not stand in thy sight: Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

But as for me, in the abundance of thy lovingkindness will I come into thy house: In thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.

For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; Their inward part is very wickedness; Their throat is an open sepulchre; They flatter with their tongue.

But let all those that take refuge in thee rejoice, Let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: Let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

[For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments, set to the Sheminith. A Psalm of David]. O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger, Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

My soul also is sore troubled: And thou, O Jehovah, how long?
