- 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. - Yahweh’s precepts are right, rejoicing the heart.
Yahweh’s commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes. - Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable in your sight,
Yahweh, my rock, and my redeemer. - May he grant you your heart’s desire,
and fulfill all your counsel. - Some trust in chariots, and some in horses,
but we trust in the name of Yahweh our God. - Yahweh is my shepherd;
I shall lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters. - Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for you are with me.
Your rod and your staff,
they comfort me. - Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in Yahweh’s house forever. - The earth is Yahweh’s, with its fullness;
the world, and those who dwell in it. - Who is this King of glory?
Yahweh of Armies is the King of glory! Selah. - Show me your ways, Yahweh.
Teach me your paths. - Guide me in your truth, and teach me,
for you are the God of my salvation.
I wait for you all day long. - Yahweh, remember your tender mercies and your loving kindness,
for they are from old times.
Don’t remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions.
Remember me according to your loving kindness,
for your goodness’ sake, Yahweh. - Good and upright is Yahweh,
therefore he will instruct sinners in the way.
He will guide the humble in justice.
He will teach the humble his way. - Yahweh is my light and my salvation.
Whom shall I fear?
Yahweh is the strength of my life.
Of whom shall I be afraid? - Though an army should encamp against me,
my heart shall not fear.
Though war should rise against me,
even then I will be confident. - One thing I have asked of Yahweh, that I will seek after:
that I may dwell in Yahweh’s house all the days of my life,
to see Yahweh’s beauty,
and to inquire in his temple. - I am still confident of this:
I will see the goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living.
