- When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.
- Yahweh’s eyes are toward the righteous.
His ears listen to their cry. - The wicked borrow, and don’t pay back,
but the righteous give generously. - With my whole heart I have sought you.
Don’t let me wander from your commandments. - Yahweh is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness. - Blessed are those who keep his statutes,
who seek him with their whole heart. - I will be glad and rejoice in you.
I will sing praise to your name, O Most High. - Yahweh is near to all those who call on him,
to all who call on him in truth. - Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised!
His greatness is unsearchable. - For Yahweh takes pleasure in his people.
He crowns the humble with salvation. - But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me,
my glory, and the one who lifts up my head. - He alone is my rock, my salvation, and my fortress.
I will never be greatly shaken. - Oh taste and see that Yahweh is good.
Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him. - I have taken your testimonies as a heritage forever,
for they are the joy of my heart. - Establish my footsteps in your word.
Don’t let any iniquity have dominion over me. - I spread out my hands to you.
My soul thirsts for you, like a parched land. Selah. - The entrance of your words gives light.
It gives understanding to the simple. - What is man, that you think of him?
What is the son of man, that you care for him? - The earth is Yahweh’s, with its fullness;
the world, and those who dwell in it. - Yahweh will give strength to his people.
Yahweh will bless his people with peace. - My salvation and my honor is with God.
The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. - My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
When shall I come and appear before God? - For your great loving kindness reaches to the heavens,
and your truth to the skies. - This poor man cried, and Yahweh heard him,
and saved him out of all his troubles. - Turn us again, Yahweh God of Armies.
Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.
God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way. God relented of the disaster which he said he would do to them, and he didn’t do it.
