- 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.The angel said to them, “Don’t be afraid, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be to all the people.”
