- I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go.
I will counsel you with my eye on you. - For Yahweh’s word is right.
All his work is done in faithfulness. - He loves righteousness and justice.
The earth is full of the loving kindness of Yahweh. - By Yahweh’s word, the heavens were made:
all their army by the breath of his mouth. - Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh,
the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance. - Behold, Yahweh’s eye is on those who fear him,
on those who hope in his loving kindness. - Let your loving kindness be on us, Yahweh,
since we have hoped in you. - I will bless Yahweh at all times.
His praise will always be in my mouth. - I sought Yahweh, and he answered me,
and delivered me from all my fears. - This poor man cried, and Yahweh heard him,
and saved him out of all his troubles. - Oh taste and see that Yahweh is good.
Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him. - The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger,
but those who seek Yahweh shall not lack any good thing. - Keep your tongue from evil,
and your lips from speaking lies. - Depart from evil, and do good.
Seek peace, and pursue it. - Yahweh’s eyes are toward the righteous.
His ears listen to their cry. - Yahweh’s face is against those who do evil,
to cut off their memory from the earth. - The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears,
and delivers them out of all their troubles.
Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart,
and saves those who have a crushed spirit. - Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
but Yahweh delivers him out of them all. - Yahweh redeems the soul of his servants.
None of those who take refuge in him shall be condemned. - Trust in Yahweh, and do good.
Dwell in the land, and enjoy safe pasture. - Also delight yourself in Yahweh,
and he will give you the desires of your heart. - Commit your way to Yahweh.
Trust also in him, and he will do this:
he will make your righteousness shine out like light,
and your justice as the noon day sun. - Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him.
Don’t fret because of him who prospers in his way,
because of the man who makes wicked plots happen. - Better is a little that the righteous has,
than the abundance of many wicked.
For the arms of the wicked shall be broken,
but Yahweh upholds the righteous. - The wicked borrow, and don’t pay back,
but the righteous give generously.
A man’s steps are established by Yahweh.
He delights in his way.But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts. Always be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, with humility and fear. It shall happen, if you shall listen diligently to Yahweh your God’s voice, to observe to do all his commandments which I command you today, that Yahweh your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth.Next verse!With image
