- For he satisfies the longing soul.
He fills the hungry soul with good. - He sends his word, and heals them,
and delivers them from their graves. - I will give thanks to you, Yahweh, among the nations.
I will sing praises to you among the peoples. - Be exalted, God, above the heavens!
Let your glory be over all the earth. - The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom.
All those who do his work have a good understanding.
His praise endures forever! - Praise Yah!
Blessed is the man who fears Yahweh,
who delights greatly in his commandments. - It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends.
He will maintain his cause in judgment. - For he will never be shaken.
The righteous will be remembered forever. - Not to us, Yahweh, not to us,
but to your name give glory,
for your loving kindness, and for your truth’s sake. - But our God is in the heavens.
He does whatever he pleases. - I love Yahweh, because he listens to my voice,
and my cries for mercy.
Because he has turned his ear to me,
therefore I will call on him as long as I live. - Out of my distress, I called on Yah.
Yah answered me with freedom. - Yahweh is on my side. I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me? - It is better to take refuge in Yahweh,
than to put confidence in man. - This is the day that Yahweh has made.
We will rejoice and be glad in it! - Save us now, we beg you, Yahweh!
Yahweh, we beg you, send prosperity now.
Blessed is he who comes in Yahweh’s name!
We have blessed you out of Yahweh’s house. - Blessed are those whose ways are blameless,
who walk according to Yahweh’s law. - Blessed are those who keep his statutes,
who seek him with their whole heart. - I will give thanks to you with uprightness of heart,
when I learn your righteous judgments. - How can a young man keep his way pure?
By living according to your word. - With my whole heart I have sought you.
Don’t let me wander from your commandments. - I have hidden your word in my heart,
that I might not sin against you. - I have rejoiced in the way of your testimonies,
as much as in all riches. - I have chosen the way of truth.
I have set your ordinances before me. - Turn my heart toward your statutes,
not toward selfish gain.
I will walk in liberty,
for I have sought your precepts.May the Lord make you to increase and abound in love toward one another and toward all men, even as we also do toward you. He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of Yahweh, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
my God, in whom I trust.”Next verse!With image
