| The wicked borrows and does not pay back, But the righteous is gracious and gives. | The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth. |
| The steps of a man are established by the Lord, And He delights in his way. | The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. |
|
| For the Lord loves justice And does not abandon His godly ones; They are protected forever, But the descendants of the wicked will be eliminated. | For the Lord loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. |
| Lord, all my desire is before You; And my sighing is not hidden from You. | Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee. |
| Hear my prayer, Lord, and listen to my cry for help; Do not be silent to my tears; For I am a stranger with You, One who lives abroad, like all my fathers. | Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were. |
| I delight to do Your will, my God; Your Law is within my heart. | I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart. |
| You, Lord, will not withhold Your compassion from me; Your mercy and Your truth will continually watch over me. | Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Lord: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me. |
| As the deer pants for the water brooks, So my soul pants for You, God. | As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. |
| My soul thirsts for God, for the living God; When shall I come and appear before God? | My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God? |
| Deep calls to deep at the sound of Your waterfalls; All Your breakers and Your waves have passed over me. | Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. |
| The Lord will send His goodness in the daytime; And His song will be with me in the night, A prayer to the God of my life. | Yet the Lord will command his lovingkindness in the day time, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life. |
| Why are you in despair, my soul? And why are you restless within me? Wait for God, for I will again praise Him For the help of His presence, my God. | Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God. |
| For by their own sword they did not possess the land, And their own arm did not save them, But Your right hand and Your arm and the light of Your presence, For You favored them. | For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them. |
