Yah answered me with freedom. - Praise Yah!
Blessed is the man who fears Yahweh,
who delights greatly in his commandments. - Sing to God! Sing praises to his name!
Extol him who rides on the clouds:
to Yah, his name!
Rejoice before him!
A father of the fatherless, and a defender of the widows,
is God in his holy habitation. - Set me as a seal on your heart,
as a seal on your arm;
for love is strong as death.

Its flashes are flashes of fire,
a very flame of Yah. - Yahweh’s law is perfect, restoring the soul.

who made heaven and earth. - For Yahweh’s word is right.

and he adds no trouble to it. - Save us now, we beg you, Yahweh!
Yahweh, we beg you, send prosperity now.
Blessed is he who comes in Yahweh’s name!
We have blessed you out of Yahweh’s house. - Yahweh’s eyes are toward the righteous.
His ears listen to their cry. - Arise, shine; for your light has come,
and Yahweh’s glory has risen on you! - Yahweh’s name is a strong tower:
the righteous run to him, and are safe. - 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. - The earth is Yahweh’s, with its fullness;
the world, and those who dwell in it. - There are many plans in a man’s heart,
but Yahweh’s counsel will prevail. - Blessed are those whose ways are blameless,
who walk according to Yahweh’s law. - By Yahweh’s word, the heavens were made:
all their army by the breath of his mouth. - Yahweh’s face is against those who do evil,
to cut off their memory from the earth. - Behold, Yahweh’s eye is on those who fear him,
on those who hope in his loving kindness. - This is Yahweh’s word to Zerubbabel, saying, ‘Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says Yahweh of Armies.
- As for God, his way is perfect.
Yahweh’s word is tried.
He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him. - As for God, his way is perfect.
Yahweh’s word is tested.
He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him. - Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in Yahweh’s house forever.
Seek Yahweh, all you humble of the land, who have kept his ordinances. Seek righteousness. Seek humility. It may be that you will be hidden in the day of Yahweh’s anger.For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and doesn’t have another to lift him up. Don’t let kindness and truth forsake you.
Bind them around your neck.
Write them on the tablet of your heart.
So you will find favor,
and good understanding in the sight of God and man.Next verse!With image
