PSA 1:1 Blessed is the ish that walketh not in the Etzah (counsel, scheme) of the Resha'im, nor standeth in the Derech Chatta'im, nor sitteth in the Moshav (seat) of the Leitzim (scornful, ones mocking and reviling) .

PSA 1:2 But his delight is in the Torat Hashem ; and in His torah doth he meditate yomam v'lailah.

PSA 1:3 And he shall be like an etz planted by the streams of mayim, that bringeth forth its p'ri in its season; the leaf thereof also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

PSA 1:4 The Resha'im are not so, but are like the chaff which the ruach driveth away.

PSA 1:5 Therefore the Resha'im shall not stand in the Mishpat, nor Chatta'im (sinners) in the Adat Tzaddikim.

PSA 1:6 For Hashem knoweth the Derech Tzaddikim, but the Derech Resha'im shall perish.

PSA 2:1 Why do the Goyim rage, and the Amim (peoples) imagine a vain thing?

PSA 2:2 The Malchei Eretz rise up in rebellion, and the rulers take counsel together against Hashem and against His Moshiach, saying,

PSA 2:3 Let us break their chains asunder, and cast away their fetters from us.

PSA 2:4 He that sitteth enthroned in Shomayim laughs; Adonoi hath them in derision.

PSA 2:5 Then shall He speak unto them in His wrath, and distress them in His hot displeasure.

PSA 2:6 I have set Malki (My King) upon Tziyon, My Har Kodesh.

PSA 2:7 I will declare the chok (decree) : Hashem hath said unto me, Thou art Beni (My Son) ; HaYom (today) I have begotten thee.

PSA 2:8 Ask of Me, and I shall give thee the Goyim for thine nachalah, and the uttermost parts of ha'aretz for thy possession.

PSA 2:9 Thou shalt rule them with a shevet barzel; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potterʼs vessel.

PSA 2:10 Have seichel now therefore, O ye Melachim; be warned, ye Shoftei Aretz.

PSA 2:11 Serve Hashem with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

PSA 2:12 Kiss the Bar (Ben, Son) , lest he be angry, and ye perish from the Derech, for his wrath can flare up in a moment. Ashrei are all they that take refuge in him.

PSA 3:1 (A psalm of Dovid, when he fled from Avshalom bno)

PSA 3:2 Hashem , how are they increased that are my foes! Many are they that rise up against me.

PSA 3:3 Many there be which say of my nefesh, There is no yeshu'ah for him in Elohim. Selah

PSA 3:4 But Thou, Hashem , art a mogen around me; my kavod, and the One who lifts up mine head.

PSA 3:5 I cried unto Hashem with my voice, and He heard me out of His Har Kodesh. Selah

PSA 3:6 I laid me down and slept; I awaked, for Hashem sustains me.

PSA 3:7 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of am (people) , that have set themselves against me round about.

PSA 3:8 Arise, Hashem ; hoshieini (save me) , O Elohai; for Thou hast struck all mine enemies upon the cheekbone; Thou hast broken the teeth of the resha'im.

PSA 3:9 HaYeshuah (salvation) belongeth unto Hashem ; the Birkhat (blessing) of Thee is upon Thy people. Selah

PSA 4:1 (For the one directing. With stringed instruments. Mizmor Dovid)

PSA 4:2 Hear me when I call, Elohei tzidki (O G-d of my righteousness) ; Thou hast relieved me when I was in distress; channeini, and hear my tefillah.

PSA 4:3 O ye Bnei Ish, how long will ye turn my kavod into shame? How long will ye love delusion, and seek kazav (lie, falsehood) ? Selah

PSA 4:4 But know that Hashem hath set apart the chasid for Himself; Hashem will hear when I call unto Him.

PSA 4:5 Be angry, yet sin not; commune with your own levav upon your mishkav, and be still. Selah

PSA 4:6 Offer the zivkhei-tzedek, and put your trust in Hashem .

PSA 4:7 There be many that say, Who will show us any tov? Hashem , lift Thou up the ohr of Thy countenance upon us.

PSA 4:8 Thou hast put simcha in my lev, more than in the time that their dagan and their tirosh increased.

PSA 4:9 In shalom I will both lay me down, and sleep, for Thou alone, Hashem , makest me dwell in safety.

PSA 5:1 (For the one directing. For the flutes. Mizmor Dovid)

PSA 5:2 Give ear to my words, Hashem , consider my meditation.

PSA 5:3 Pay heed unto the voice of my cry, Malki v'Elohai; for unto Thee will I daven.

PSA 5:4 My voice shalt Thou hear in the boker, Hashem ; in the boker will I bring my prayer before Thee as a spiritual sacrifice and wait for an answer.

PSA 5:5 For Thou art not El that hath pleasure in resha; neither shall rah dwell with Thee.

PSA 5:6 The holelim (arrogant) shall not stand in Thy sight; Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

PSA 5:7 Thou shalt destroy them that speak kazav (falsehood) ; Hashem will abhor the ish damim u'mirmah (bloody and deceitful man) .

PSA 5:8 But as for me, I will come into Thy Bais in the multitude of Thy chesed; and in Thy fear will I bow down toward Thy Heikhal Kodesh.

PSA 5:9 Lead me, Hashem , in Thy tzedakah because of mine enemies; make Thy Derech straight before my face.

PSA 5:10 For there is nothing trustworthy in their mouth; their inwardness is a corruptible abyss; their throat is an open kever; they speak smooth deceit with their leshon.

PSA 5:11 Punish them, Elohim; let them fall by their own intrigues; in the multitude of their peysha'im cast them out; for they have rebelled against Thee.

PSA 5:12 But let all those that take refuge in Thee rejoice; let them shout for joy l'olam, and spread Thou protection over them that they be joyful in Thee, who love Shemecha (Thy Name) .

PSA 5:13 For Thou, Hashem , wilt bless the Tzaddik; with ratzon (favor) wilt Thou encompass him as with a tzinnah (large rectangular shield) .

PSA 6:1 (For the one directing. With stringed instruments. Al HaSheminit. Mizmor Dovid)

PSA 6:2 Hashem , rebuke me not in Thine anger, neither chasten me in Thy hot displeasure.

PSA 6:3 Have mercy upon me, Hashem ; for I am weak: Hashem , heal me; for my atzmot are shaking.

PSA 6:4 My nefesh is also much shaken; but Thou, Hashem , ad mosai (how much longer) ?

PSA 6:5 Turn, Hashem , deliver my nefesh; hoshieini (save me) for the sake of Thy chesed.

PSA 6:6 For in mavet there is no remembrance of Thee; in Sheol who shall give Thee thanks?

PSA 6:7 I am weary with my groaning; all the lailah flood I my mittah with weeping; I water my couch with my tears.

PSA 6:8 Mine eye is consumed because of ka'as (grief) ; it groweth old because of all mine enemies.

PSA 6:9 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for Hashem hath heard the voice of my weeping.

PSA 6:10 Hashem hath heard my techinnah (supplication) ; Hashem will receive my tefillah (prayer) .

PSA 6:11 Let all mine oyevim be ashamed and much troubled; let them turn back and suddenly be ashamed.

PSA 7:1 (Shiggayon of Dovid, which he sang unto Hashem , regarding Kush of Binyamin)

PSA 7:2 Hashem Elohai, in Thee do I seek refuge; hoshieini (save me) from all them that persecute me, and deliver me;

PSA 7:3 Lest he tear my nefesh like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to rescue.

PSA 7:4 Hashem Elohai, if I have done this; if there be guilt in my hands;

PSA 7:5 If I have recompensed with evil him that held out shalom unto me; or, without cause plundered my opposers,

PSA 7:6 Then let the enemy persecute my nefesh, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life to the earth, and lay mine kavod to sleep in the dust. Selah

PSA 7:7 Arise, Hashem , in Thine anger, lift up Thyself because of the rage of mine enemies; awake, o my El, to the mishpat Thou hast decreed.

PSA 7:8 So let the Adat l'Umim surround Thee; and over it return Thou on high.

PSA 7:9 Hashem shall judge the people; judge me, Hashem , according to my tzedek, and according to mine integrity that is in me.

PSA 7:10 Oh let the wickedness of the resha'im come to an end; but make the tzaddik secure; for the Elohim Tzaddik trieth the minds and hearts.

PSA 7:11 My mogen (shield) is Elohim, Moshi'a of the upright in heart.

PSA 7:12 Elohim is a Shofet Tzaddik, and El expresses wrath kol yom.

PSA 7:13 If He relent not, He will sharpen His cherev; He hath bent His keshet (bow) and made it ready.

PSA 7:14 He hath also prepared for Him the instruments of mavet; He ordaineth His flaming khitzim (arrows) .

PSA 7:15 Hinei, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived trouble, and brought forth falsehood.

PSA 7:16 He makes a pit, and digs it, and is fallen into the shachat (pit) which he made.

PSA 7:17 His trouble shall return upon his own rosh, and his chamas shall come down upon his own kodkod (crown of the head) .

PSA 7:18 I will give thanks to Hashem according to His tzedek; and will sing praise to the Shem of Hashem Elyon.

PSA 8:1 (For the one directing. According to the gittit. Mizmor of Dovid)

PSA 8:2 Hashem Adoneinu, how excellent is Shimecha in kol ha'aretz, Who hast set Thy glory above HaShomayim.

PSA 8:3 Out of the mouth of olelim and infants hast Thou established strength because of Thine enemies, that Thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

PSA 8:4 When I consider Thy heavens, the ma'asim of Thy fingers, the yarei'ach and the kokhavim, which Thou hast ordained;

PSA 8:5 What is enosh (mankind) , that Thou art mindful of him? And the ben adam, that Thou visitest him?

PSA 8:6 For Thou hast made him a little lower than elohim, and hast crowned him with kavod and hadar.

PSA 8:7 Thou madest him to have dominion over the ma'asim of Thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet:

PSA 8:8 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the behemot sadeh;

PSA 8:9 The fowl of the air, and the dag (fish) of the yam, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

PSA 8:10 Hashem Adoneinu, how excellent is Shimecha in kol ha'aretz!

PSA 9:1 (For the one directing. To The Death of the Son. Mizmor of Dovid)

PSA 9:2 I will give thanks to Thee, Hashem , with kol lev of me; I will show forth all Thy marvellous works.

PSA 9:3 I will be glad and rejoice in Thee; I will sing praise to Thy Shem, O Thou Elyon.

PSA 9:4 When mine oyevim are turned back, they shall fall and perish at Thy presence.

PSA 9:5 For Thou hast maintained my mishpat and my cause; Thou as Shofet Tzedek dost sit on the kisse.

PSA 9:6 Thou hast rebuked the Goyim, Thou hast destroyed the wicked, Thou hast blotted out their shem l'olam va'ed.

PSA 9:7 Choravot lanetzach (endless ruins) have come to the enemy: and Thou hast rooted out cities; their memory is perished with them.

PSA 9:8 But Hashem shall reign l'olam; He hath established His kisse (throne) for mishpat.

PSA 9:9 And He shall judge the tevel (world) in tzedek, He shall govern the nations with justice.

PSA 9:10 Hashem also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of tzoros.

PSA 9:11 And they that know Shemecha will put their trust in Thee; for Thou, Hashem , hast not forsaken them that seek Thee.

PSA 9:12 Sing praises to Hashem , enthroned in Tziyon; declare among the nations His deeds.

PSA 9:13 When He avenges dahm, He remembereth them; He forgetteth not the cry of the aniyim (humble, afflicted, the helpless ones) .

PSA 9:14 Have mercy upon me, Hashem ; consider my sufferings which I suffer of them that hate me, Thou that liftest me up from the sha'arei mavet (gates of death) ;

PSA 9:15 That I may show forth all Thy praise in the Sha'arei Bat Tziyon. I will rejoice in Thy Yeshu'ah (salvation) .

PSA 9:16 The Goyim are sunk down in the shachat (pit) that they dug; in the reshet (net) which they hid is their own foot caught.

PSA 9:17 Hashem is known by the mishpat which He executeth; the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgayon. Selah

PSA 9:18 The resha'im shall be turned into Sheol, and all the Goyim that forget Elohim.

PSA 9:19 For the needy shall not always be forgotten; the tikveh of the poor shall not perish forever.

PSA 9:20 Arise, Hashem ; let not enosh (mankind) prevail; let the Goyim be judged in Thy sight.

PSA 9:21 Put them in terror, Hashem ; that the Goyim may know themselves to be but enosh. Selah

PSA 10:1 Why standest Thou afar off, Hashem ? Why hidest Thou Thyself in times of tzoros?

PSA 10:2 The reshah in his ga'avah (haughtiness) doth persecute the ani (poor) ; let them be caught in the devices that they have schemed.

PSA 10:3 For the reshah boasteth of his ta'avat nefesh (soulʼs lust) , and blesseth the covetous, whom Hashem abhorreth.

PSA 10:4 The reshah, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after Him; Elohim is not in all his thoughts.

PSA 10:5 His ways are always prosperous; Thy mishpatim are on high, out of his sight; as for all his enemies, he sneers at them.

PSA 10:6 He hath said in his lev, I shall not be shaken; throughout all generations I shall never be in trouble.

PSA 10:7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud; under his leshon (tongue) is trouble and iniquity.

PSA 10:8 He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages; in the places for ambush doth he murder the naki (innocent) ; his eyes are secretly set against the poor.

PSA 10:9 He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den; he lieth in wait to catch the poor; he doth catch the poor when he draweth him into his reshet.

PSA 10:10 He crouches, and stoops, that the poor may fall by his atzum (might) .

PSA 10:11 He hath said in his lev, El hath forgotten; He hideth his face; He will never see it.

PSA 10:12 Arise, Hashem ; O El, lift up Thine yad; forget not the aniyim.

PSA 10:13 For why doth the reshah renounce Elohim? He hath said in his lev, Thou wilt not call me to account.

PSA 10:14 Thou hast seen it; for Thou beholdest trouble and ka'as (grief) , to requite it with Thy yad; the helpless committeth himself unto Thee; Thou art the Ozer (helper) of the yatom (orphan) .

PSA 10:15 Break Thou the zero'a of the reshah and the evil man; call to account his wickedness that would not be found out.

PSA 10:16 Hashem is Melech olam va'ed; the Goyim are perished out of His land.

PSA 10:17 Hashem , Thou hast heard the desire of the aniyim; Thou wilt strengthen their lev, Thou wilt cause Thine ear to hear;

PSA 10:18 To judge the yatom (orphan) and the oppressed, that enosh of the earth may no more strike terror.

PSA 11:1 (For the one directing. Of Dovid) In Hashem do I take refuge; how say ye to my nefesh, Flee as a bird to your mountain?

PSA 11:2 For, hinei, the resha'im bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may secretly shoot at the yishrei lev (upright in heart) .

PSA 11:3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the tzaddik do?

PSA 11:4 Hashem is in His Heikhal Kodesh, Hashem ʼs kisse is in Shomayim; His eyes examine, His eyelids try, Bnei Adam.

PSA 11:5 Hashem trieth the tzaddik, but the resha'im and him that loveth chamas (violence) His Nefesh hateth.

PSA 11:6 Upon the resha'im He shall rain snares, eish and gofrit, and a burning wind; this shall be the portion of their kos (cup) .

PSA 11:7 For Hashem is tzaddik (righteous) , Hashem loveth tzedakot; His countenance doth behold the yashar (upright) .

PSA 12:1 (For the one directing. According to the Sheminit. Mizmor Dovid)

PSA 12:2 Help, Hashem ; for the chasid is no more; for the emunim (faithful ones) vanish from among Bnei Adam.

PSA 12:3 They speak vanity every one with his re'a (neighbor) ; with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.

PSA 12:4 Hashem shall cut off all flattering lips, and the leshon that speaketh gedolot;

PSA 12:5 Who have said, With leshoneinu (our tongue) will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is Adon over us?

PSA 12:6 For the oppression of the aniyim, for the groaning of the needy, now will I arise, saith Hashem ; I will set him in safety from him that sneers at him.

PSA 12:7 The words of Hashem are amarot tehorot (pure words) ; as kesef refined in the furnace on the earth, purified seven times.

PSA 12:8 Thou shalt be shomer over them, Hashem , Thou shalt preserve him from this generation forever.

PSA 12:9 The resha'im strut on every side, when the vilest among the Bnei Adam are exalted.

PSA 13:1 (For the one directing. Mizmor Dovid)

PSA 13:2 How long wilt Thou forget me, Hashem ? Netzach (forever) ? How long wilt Thou hide Thy face from me?

PSA 13:3 How long shall I take counsel in my nefesh, having sorrow in my lev daily? How long shall mine oyev be exalted over me?

PSA 13:4 Consider and hear me, Hashem Elohai; enlighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of mavet;

PSA 13:5 Lest mine oyev say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am defeated.

PSA 13:6 But I have trusted in Thy chesed; my lev shall rejoice in Thy Yeshu'ah (salvation) . I will sing unto Hashem , because He hath dealt bountifully with me.

PSA 14:1 (For the one directing. Of Dovid) The naval (fool) hath said in his lev, There is no Elohim. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, ein oseh tov (there is none that doeth good) .

PSA 14:2 Hashem looked down from Shomayim upon Bnei Adam, to see if there is any with seichel, that seeketh Elohim.

PSA 14:3 They are all turned aside, they are all together become corrupt; there is none that doeth tov, no, not one.

PSA 14:4 Have all the workers of iniquity no da'as? Who eat up my people as they eat lechem, and call not upon Hashem .

PSA 14:5 There they shall be in great dread, for Elohim is with the dor tzaddik.

PSA 14:6 Would ye confound the etzah (counsel, plan) of the oni (poor) , for Hashem is indeed his refuge!

PSA 14:7 Oh that the Yeshu'ah (salvation) of Yisroel were come out of Tziyon! When Hashem turns misfortune and brings back the captives of His people, Ya'akov shall rejoice, and Yisroel shall be glad.

PSA 15:1 (Mizmor Dovid) Hashem , who shall abide in Thy Ohel? Who shall dwell in Thy Har Kodesh?

PSA 15:2 He that walketh blamelessly, and worketh tzedek, and speaketh emes from his lev.

PSA 15:3 He that backbiteth not with his leshon, nor doeth ra'ah to his re'a, nor taketh up a slur to discredit his neighbor.

PSA 15:4 In whose eyes a vile person is despicable; but he honoreth them that fear Hashem . He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.

PSA 15:5 He that putteth not out his kesef to neshekh (usury) , nor taketh bribes against the naki (innocent) . He that doeth these things shall never be shaken.

PSA 16:1 (A mikhtam of Dovid) Be shomer over me, O El: for in Thee do I hide myself.

PSA 16:2 I said unto Hashem , Thou art Adonoi of me; besides Thee I have no good.

PSA 16:3 But to the Kedoshim that are in ha'aretz, they are the glorious ones, in whom is all my delight.

PSA 16:4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after other g-ds; their nesakhim (drink offerings) of dahm will I not offer, nor take up their shmot (names) on my lips.

PSA 16:5 Hashem is the chelek (allotted share) of mine inheritance and of my kos (cup) ; Thou maintainest my goral (lot, allotment by the divine will) .

PSA 16:6 The boundary lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly nachalah (inheritance) .

PSA 16:7 I will bless Hashem , Who hath given me counsel; my mind also instructs me in the night seasons.

PSA 16:8 I have set Hashem always before me; because He is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.

PSA 16:9 Therefore my lev is glad, and my kavod rejoiceth; my basar also shall dwell securely.

PSA 16:10 For Thou wilt not abandon my nefesh in Sheol; neither wilt Thou allow Thine Chasid to see shachat (corruption, the pit, the grave, the abyss of corruption) .

PSA 16:11 Thou wilt show me the Orach Chayyim (the path of life) ; in Thy presence is fulness of joy, at Thy right hand there are pleasures netzach (for evermore) .

PSA 17:1 (Tefillah of Dovid) Hear the tzedek (righteous plea of a just cause) , Hashem , attend unto my cry, give ear unto my tefillah, that goeth not out of lips of mirmah (deceit) .

PSA 17:2 Let my mishpat (right) come forth from Thy presence; let Thine eyes behold the things that are right.

PSA 17:3 Thou hast probed mine lev; Thou hast visited me in the lailah; Thou hast tested me and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.

PSA 17:4 Concerning the works of men, by the Devar of Thy lips I have kept myself from the paths of the cruel.

PSA 17:5 Uphold my goings in Thy paths, that my footsteps stumble not.

PSA 17:6 I have called upon Thee, for Thou wilt hear me, O El; incline Thine ear unto me, and hear my prayer.

PSA 17:7 Show Thy marvellous chesed, O Thou Moshi'a Who saves by Thy right hand them which put their trust in Thee from those that rise up against them.

PSA 17:8 Be shomer over me as the apple of Thy eye; hide me in the shadow of Thy wings,

PSA 17:9 From the resha'im that oppress me, from my deadly enemies threatening my nefesh, who surround me.

PSA 17:10 They have closed up callously and mercilessly against me; with their mouth they speak with ge'ut (pride) .

PSA 17:11 At every step they have surrounded me; their purpose is to strike down to ha'aretz;

PSA 17:12 Like aryeh eager to tear his prey, and like a young lion lurking in ambush.

PSA 17:13 Arise, Hashem , confront him, cast him down; deliver my nefesh from the resha with Thy cherev;

PSA 17:14 From men with Thy yad, Hashem , from men of the world, whose portion is in this life, and with Thy treasures Thou fillest their belly; they are satisfied with children, and leave their abundance to their babes.

PSA 17:15 As for me, in tzedek I will behold Thy face; I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with Thy temunah (form) .

PSA 18:1 (For the one directing. Of Dovid Eved Hashem who sang to Hashem the lyrics of this shirah on the day Hashem delivered him from the hand of all his oyevim and from the hand of Sha'ul;

PSA 18:2 and he said) I will love Thee, Hashem , my strength.

PSA 18:3 Hashem is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; Eli my Tzur (rock) , in whom I take refuge; my mogen, and the keren of my salvation, and my misgav (high place as a refuge) .

PSA 18:4 I will call upon Hashem , Who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from mine oyevim.

PSA 18:5 The chevlei mavet entangled me, and the floods of Beliya'al terrorized me.

PSA 18:6 The chevlei Sheol snaked around me; the snares of mavet confronted me.

PSA 18:7 In my distress I called upon Hashem , and cried unto Elohai; He heard my voice out of His Heikhal, and my cry came before Him, even into His ears.

PSA 18:8 Ha'aretz shook and trembled; the foundations also of the mountains quaked and were shaken, because He was angry.

PSA 18:9 Smoke went up from His nostrils, and eish out of His mouth devoured; coals were kindled by it.

PSA 18:10 He parted Shomayim, and descended, and dark clouds were under His feet.

PSA 18:11 And He rode upon a keruv (cherub) , and did fly; yea, He soared upon the wings of the ruach.

PSA 18:12 He made choshech His secret place; His sukkah round about Him was dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

PSA 18:13 Out of the brightness that was before Him there broke through barad (hailstones) and coals of eish out of His clouds.

PSA 18:14 Hashem also thundered in Shomayim, and Elyon gave His voice amid barad and coals of eish.

PSA 18:15 Yea, He sent out His khitzim (arrows) , and scattered them; and He shot out great lightning bolts, and did put them to rout.

PSA 18:16 Then the channels of waters were exposed, and the foundations of the tevel (world) were laid bare at Thy rebuke, Hashem , at the blast of the ruach of Thy nostrils.

PSA 18:17 He sent from on high, He took hold of me, He drew me out of mayim rabbim (many waters) .

PSA 18:18 He delivered me from my strong oyev, and from them which hated me; for they were too strong for me.

PSA 18:19 They confronted me in the day of my calamity; but Hashem was my stay.

PSA 18:20 He brought me forth also into a place merkhav (spacious) ; He delivered me, because He delighted in me.

PSA 18:21 Hashem dealt with me according to my tzedek; according to the cleanness of my hands hath He recompensed me.

PSA 18:22 For I have been shomer regarding the Darkhei Hashem , and have not wickedly departed from Elohai.

PSA 18:23 For all His mishpatim were before me, and I did not put away His chukkot from me.

PSA 18:24 I was also tamim (blameless) before Him, and I kept myself from mine avon.

PSA 18:25 Therefore hath Hashem recompensed me according to my tzedek, according to the cleanness of my hands before His eyes.

PSA 18:26 With the chasid Thou wilt show Thyself chesed; with a perfect man Thou wilt show Thyself perfect;

PSA 18:27 With the pure Thou wilt show Thyself pure; and with the ikesh (crooked, perverted, false) Thou wilt show Thyself shrewd.

PSA 18:28 For Thou wilt save the ani (poor) ; but wilt bring down low haughty looks.

PSA 18:29 For Thou wilt light my ner; Hashem Elohai will enlighten my choshech.

PSA 18:30 For by Thee have I scattered a troop; and by Elohai have I leaped over a wall.

PSA 18:31 As for El, His derech is tamim (perfect) ; the word of Hashem is tzerufah (tested and proved flawless, inerrant) ; He is a mogen to all those that take refuge in Him.

PSA 18:32 For who is Elohim besides Hashem ? Or who is Tzur but Eloheinu?

PSA 18:33 It is El that armeth me with chayil, and maketh my derech tamim (perfect) .

PSA 18:34 He maketh my raglayim like deer feet, and setteth me upon my high places.

PSA 18:35 He traineth my hands for milchamah, so that a keshet-nechushah mine arms can bend.

PSA 18:36 Thou hast also given me the mogen of Thy salvation; and Thy right hand hath held me up, and Thy lowliness hath made me great.

PSA 18:37 Thou hast made rakhav (broad) the place for my footsteps under me, that my ankles did not turn.

PSA 18:38 I have pursued mine oyevim, and overtaken them; neither did I turn back till they were consumed.

PSA 18:39 I have crushed them that they were not able to rise; they are fallen under my raglayim.

PSA 18:40 For Thou hast armed me with chayil unto the milchamah; Thou hast made bow down under me those that rose up against me.

PSA 18:41 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine oyevim; that I might destroy them that hate me.

PSA 18:42 They cried for help, but there was no Moshi'a to save them, even unto Hashem , but He answered them not.

PSA 18:43 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the ruach; I did empty them out as the dirt in the chutzot (streets) .

PSA 18:44 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and Thou hast made me the Rosh (head) of the Goyim (nations) ; an Am (people) whom I have not known shall serve me.

PSA 18:45 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me; the Bnei Nekhar (foreigners) shall submit themselves unto me.

PSA 18:46 The Bnei Nekhar shall fade away, and come forth trembling out of their misgerot (stongholds, fastnesses, secure places) .

PSA 18:47 Hashem chai; and baruch be my Tzur; and let the Elohei of my salvation be exalted.

PSA 18:48 It is El that avengeth me, and subdueth the nations under me.

PSA 18:49 He saveth me from mine oyevim; yea, Thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me; Thou hast delivered me from the ish chamas.

PSA 18:50 Therefore will I give thanks unto Thee, Hashem , among the Goyim, and sing praises unto Shimecha.

PSA 18:51 Great deliverance giveth He to His Melech; and showeth chesed to His Moshiach, to Dovid, and to his Zera ad olam.

PSA 19:1 (For the one directing. Mizmor Dovid)

PSA 19:2 HaShomayim declare the kavod of G-d; and the raki'a (firmament) showeth His handiwork.

PSA 19:3 Yom unto yom uttereth speech, and lailah unto lailah showeth da'as.

PSA 19:4 There is no speech nor devarim (language) , where their voice is not heard.

PSA 19:5 Their measuring line is gone out through kol ha'aretz, and their words to the end of the tevel (world) . In them hath He set an ohel for the shemesh,

PSA 19:6 Which is like a choson coming out of his chuppah, and rejoiceth as a gibbor to run a race.

PSA 19:7 Its going forth is from the end of HaShomayim, and its circuit unto the ends of it; and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

PSA 19:8 The torah of Hashem is temimah, converting the nefesh, the edut of Hashem is ne'emanah, making wise the simple.

PSA 19:9 The precepts of Hashem are yasharim (right) , rejoicing the lev; the mitzvat Hashem is bara (clear, pure) , enlightening the eyes.

PSA 19:10 The yirat Hashem (fear of the L-rd) is tehorah (clean) , enduring forever; the mishpatim of Hashem are emes and righteous altogether.

PSA 19:11 More to be desired are they than zahav, yea, than much fine gold; sweeter also than devash and the honeycomb.

PSA 19:12 Moreover by them is Thy eved warned; and in being shomer over them there is great reward.

PSA 19:13 Who can discern his errors? Cleanse Thou me from nistarot (secret ones) .

PSA 19:14 Keep back Thy eved also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me; then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the peysha rav (great transgression) .

PSA 19:15 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my lev, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Hashem , my Tzur (rock) , and Go'ali (my Redeemer) .

PSA 20:1 (For the one directing. Mizmor Dovid)

PSA 20:2 Hashem hear thee in the Yom Tzarah (day of trouble) ; the Shem Elohei Ya'akov set thee up on high;

PSA 20:3 Send thee help from the Kodesh (Holy Sanctuary) , and strengthen thee out of Tziyon;

PSA 20:4 Remember all thy minchot, and accept thy olat; Selah .

PSA 20:5 Grant thee according to thine own levav, and fulfil kol etzah (plan, counsel) of thine.

PSA 20:6 We will shout for joy at thy Yeshu'ah (salvation) , and in the Shem of Eloheinu we will lift up our banners; Hashem grant all thy requests.

PSA 20:7 Now I have da'as that Hashem hoshi'a (He saves) His Moshiach; He will answer him from His Sh'mei Kodesh (Holy Heaven) with the saving strength of His right hand.

PSA 20:8 Some trust in chariots, and some susim: but we will trust in the Shem Hashem Eloheinu.

PSA 20:9 They are brought down and fallen, but we are risen up, and stand firm.

PSA 20:10 Hoshi'ah, Hashem , HaMelech! May He hear us on the day when we call.

PSA 21:1 (For the one directing. Mizmor Dovid)

PSA 21:2 Melech shall have simcha in Thy strength, Hashem ; and in Thy Yeshu'ah (salvation) how greatly shall he rejoice!

PSA 21:3 Thou hast given him the desire of his lev, and hast not withheld the request of his lips. Selah

PSA 21:4 For Thou meeteth him with the birkhot tov; Thou settest an ateret of pure gold on his head.

PSA 21:5 He asked Chayyim of Thee, and Thou gavest it him, even length of yamim olam va'ed;

PSA 21:6 Gadol is his kavod in Thy Yeshu'ah (salvation) ; hod v'hadar hast Thou bestowed upon him.

PSA 21:7 For Thou hast made him birkhot forever; Thou hast made him exceeding glad with simcha in Thy presence.

PSA 21:8 For HaMelech trusteth in Hashem , and through the chesed of Elyon he shall not be moved.

PSA 21:9 Thine yad shall find out all thine enemies; thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.

PSA 21:10 Thou shalt make them like an oven of eish in the time of thine presence; Hashem shall swallow them up in His wrath, and the eish shall devour them.

PSA 21:11 Their fruit shalt Thou destroy from ha'aretz, and their zera from among Bnei Adam.

PSA 21:12 For they intended ra'ah against Thee; they devised a plot, which they are not able to perform.

PSA 21:13 Ki (therefore) shalt Thou make them turn their backs, when Thou shalt aim Thine bowstrings at their faces.

PSA 21:14 Be Thou exalted, Hashem , in Thine Own Strength; so will we sing and praise Thy gevurah (power) .

PSA 22:1 (For the one directing. To the Deer of the Dawn. Mizmor Dovid)

PSA 22:2 Eli, Eli, lamah azavtani? Why art Thou so far from my yeshu'ah, and from the words of my groaning?

PSA 22:3 Elohai, I cry yomam, but Thou hearest not; and v'lailah, and am not silent.

PSA 22:4 But Atah Kadosh, O Thou enthroned on the tehillot Yisroel.

PSA 22:5 Avoteinu trusted in Thee; they had bitachon, and Thou didst deliver them.

PSA 22:6 They cried unto Thee, and were delivered; they had bitachon in Thee, and were not disappointed.

PSA 22:7 But I am a tola'at, and no ish; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.

PSA 22:8 All they that see me mock me; they shoot out the lip, they shake the rosh, saying,

PSA 22:9 He trusted in Hashem ; let Hashem rescue him; let Him deliver him, since He delights in him.

PSA 22:10 But Thou art He that took me out of the womb; Thou didst make me trust when I was upon the breasts of immi.

PSA 22:11 I was cast upon Thee from the womb; Thou art Eli from the womb of immi.

PSA 22:12 Be not far from me; for tzoros is near; and there is none to help.

PSA 22:13 Parim rabbim (many bulls) have encompassed me; strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round about.

PSA 22:14 They opened wide their mouths upon me, like an aryeh roaring and tearing prey.

PSA 22:15 I am poured out like mayim, and all my atzmot are out of joint; my lev is like wax; it is melted away within me.

PSA 22:16 My ko'ach is dried up like baked clay; and my leshon cleaveth to my jaws; and Thou layest me in the aphar mavet (dust of death) .

PSA 22:17 For kelavim have surrounded me; the Adat Mere'im (congregation of evil men) have enclosed me; KA'ARU YADAI V'RAGELAI (they pierced my hands and my feet) .

PSA 22:18 I can count all my atzmot; the people stare and gloat at me.

PSA 22:19 They divide up my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast goral (lots) .

PSA 22:20 But be not Thou far from me, Hashem ; O my strength, hasten Thee to help me.

PSA 22:21 Deliver my nefesh from the cherev, my yechid (only one, only) [nefesh] from the power of the kelev (dog) .

PSA 22:22 Hoshieini from the mouth of the aryeh; for Thou hast heard me from the karnayim of the wild bulls.

PSA 22:23 I will declare Thy Shem unto my Achim; in the midst of the Kahal will I praise Thee.

PSA 22:24 Ye that fear Hashem , praise Him; all ye Zera Ya'akov, give Him kavod; and fear Him, all ye Zera Yisroel.

PSA 22:25 For He hath not despised nor disdained the enut ani (affliction of the afflicted) ; neither hath He hid His face from him; but when he cried unto Him, He heard.

PSA 22:26 My tehillah shall be from Thee in the Kahal Rav; I will fulfill my nedar before them that fear Him.

PSA 22:27 The anavim (meek) shall eat and be satisfied; they that seek Him shall praise Hashem . Let your levav live forever!

PSA 22:28 All the ends of HaAretz shall remember and turn unto Hashem ; and all the mishpechot of the Goyim shall bow down in worship before Thee.

PSA 22:29 For the Meluchah is Hashem ʼs: and He is the Moshel over the Goyim.

PSA 22:30 All they that thrive upon HaAretz shall eat and worship; all they that go down to the aphar (dust) shall bow before Him; even he who cannot keep alive his own nefesh.

PSA 22:31 Zera shall serve Him; it shall be told to the generation [to come] concerning Adonoi.

PSA 22:32 They shall come, and shall declare His tzedek unto an Am Nolad (a [future] people that shall be born) , that He hath done this.

PSA 23:1 (Mizmor of Dovid) Hashem is my Ro'eh (Shepherd) ; I shall not lack.

PSA 23:2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the mei menuchot (tranquil waters) .

PSA 23:3 He restoreth my nefesh; He guideth me in the paths of tzedek l'ma'an Shmo (righteousness for the sake of His Name) .

PSA 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the Gey Tzalmavet (Valley of the Shadow of Death) , I will fear no rah (evil) ; for Thou art with me; Thy shevet (rod) and Thy staff they comfort me.

PSA 23:5 Thou preparest a shulchan before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with shemen (olive oil) ; my kos runneth over.

PSA 23:6 Surely tov and chesed shall follow me kol y'mei chaiyyai (all the days of my life) : and I will dwell in the Bais Hashem l'orech yamim (for length of days, whole life long, forever) .

PSA 24:1 (Mizmor of Dovid) Ha'aretz is Hashem ʼs, and the fullness thereof; the tevel (world) , and they that dwell therein.

PSA 24:2 For He hath founded it upon the yamim (seas) , and established it upon the waters.

PSA 24:3 Who shall ascend the Har Hashem ? Or who shall stand in His Makom Kodesh?

PSA 24:4 He that hath clean hands, and a bar levav (pure heart) ; who hath not lifted up his nefesh unto shahv (vanity) , nor sworn l'mirmah (deceitfully) .

PSA 24:5 He shall receive the brocha (blessing) from Hashem , and tzedakah from Elohei Yisho (the G-d of his Salvation) .

PSA 24:6 This is the generation of them that seek Him, that seek Thy face, O Ya'akov. Selah

PSA 24:7 Lift up your heads, O ye she'arim; and be ye lifted up, ye Pitchei Olam (everlasting doorways) ; and Melech HaKavod shall come in.

PSA 24:8 Who is this Melech HaKavod? Hashem strong and mighty, Hashem Gibbor Milchamah.

PSA 24:9 Lift up your heads, O ye she'arim; even lift them up, ye Pitchei Olam; and Melech HaKavod shall come in.

PSA 24:10 Who is this Melech HaKavod? Hashem Tzva'os, He is Melech HaKavod. Selah

PSA 25:1 (Of Dovid) Unto Thee, Hashem , do I lift up my nefesh.

PSA 25:2 O Elohai, I trust in Thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine oyevim triumph over me.

PSA 25:3 Yea, let none that wait [hoping in] Thee be ashamed; let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.

PSA 25:4 Show me Thy ways, Hashem ; teach me Thy paths.
