- Salvation belongs to Yahweh.
May your blessing be on your people. Selah. - In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep,
for you alone, Yahweh, make me live in safety. - Yahweh, in the morning you will hear my voice.
In the morning I will lay my requests before you, and will watch expectantly. - For you will bless the righteous.
Yahweh, you will surround him with favor as with a shield. - What is man, that you think of him?
What is the son of man, that you care for him? - I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart.
I will tell of all your marvelous works. - I will be glad and rejoice in you.
I will sing praise to your name, O Most High. - Yahweh will also be a high tower for the oppressed;
a high tower in times of trouble. - Those who know your name will put their trust in you,
for you, Yahweh, have not forsaken those who seek you. - Arise, Yahweh!
God, lift up your hand!
Don’t forget the helpless. - But I trust in your loving kindness.
My heart rejoices in your salvation.
I will sing to Yahweh,
because he has been good to me. - He who walks blamelessly and does what is right,
and speaks truth in his heart;
he who doesn’t slander with his tongue,
nor does evil to his friend,
nor casts slurs against his fellow man. - Preserve me, God, for I take refuge in you.
- My soul, you have said to Yahweh, “You are my Lord.
Apart from you I have no good thing.” - I have set Yahweh always before me.
Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. - You will show me the path of life.
In your presence is fullness of joy.
In your right hand there are pleasures forever more. - I love you, Yahweh, my strength.
Yahweh is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer;
my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge;
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower. - In my distress I called on Yahweh,
and cried to my God.
He heard my voice out of his temple.
My cry before him came into his ears. - With the merciful you will show yourself merciful.
With the perfect man, you will show yourself perfect. - For you will light my lamp, Yahweh.
My God will light up my darkness. - As for God, his way is perfect.
Yahweh’s word is tried.
He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him. - For who is God, except Yahweh?
Who is a rock, besides our God? - You have also given me the shield of your salvation.
Your right hand sustains me.
Your gentleness has made me great.
You have enlarged my steps under me,
My feet have not slipped. - The heavens declare the glory of God.
The expanse shows his handiwork.
Day after day they pour out speech,
and night after night they display knowledge. - Yahweh’s law is perfect, restoring the soul.
Yahweh’s covenant is sure, making wise the simple.
