Do not be afraid when a man becomes rich,
When the glory of his house increases;
For when he dies he will not take any of it;
His glory will not descend after him.
For while he lives he blesses his soul—
And men will praise you when you do well for yourself—
But his soul shall go to the generation of his fathers;
They will eternally not see light.
Man in his honor, but who does not understand,
Is like the animals that perish.

Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised,
In the city of our God, His holy mountain.
Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth,
Is Mount Zion in the far north,
The city of the great King.
God, in her palaces,
Has made Himself known as a stronghold.
•••
In the midst of Your temple.
As is Your name, O God,
So is Your praise to the ends of the earth;
Your right hand is full of righteousness.
•••
Consider her ramparts;
Go through her palaces,
That you may recount it to the next generation.
For this is God,
Our God forever and ever;
He will guide us over death.

O clap your hands, all peoples;
Make a loud shout to God with the sound of a shout of joy.
For Yahweh Most High is fearsome,
A great King over all the earth.
•••
Sing praises to God, sing praises;
Sing praises to our King, sing praises.
For God is the King of all the earth;
Sing praises with a skillful psalm.
God reigns over the nations,
God sits on His holy throne.
The nobles of the peoples have assembled themselves with the people of the God of Abraham,
For the shields of the earth belong to God;
He is highly exalted.

God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change
And though the mountains shake into the heart of the sea;
Though its waters roar and foam,
Though the mountains quake at its lofty pride. Selah.
•••
Cease striving and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”
Yahweh of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah.

Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;
A scepter of uprightness is the scepter of Your kingdom.
You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You
With the oil of joy above Your companions.

In God we have boasted all day long,
And we will give thanks to Your name forever. Selah.

Oh send out Your light and Your truth, let them lead me;
Let them bring me to Your holy mountain
And to Your dwelling places.
Then I will go to the altar of God,
To God my exceeding joy;
And upon the lyre I shall praise You, O God, my God.

Why are you in despair, O my soul?
And why are you disturbed within me?
Wait for God, for I shall still praise Him,
The salvation of my presence and my God.

As the deer pants for the water brooks,
So my soul pants for You, O God.
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God;
•••
By day, Yahweh will command His lovingkindness;
And by night, His song will be with me,
A prayer to the God of my life.
•••
Why are you in despair, O my soul?
And why are you disturbed within me?
Wait for God, for I shall still praise Him,
The salvation of my presence and my God.

Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel,
From everlasting to everlasting.
Amen and Amen.

How blessed is the man who has made Yahweh his trust,
And has not turned to the proud, nor to those who stray into falsehood.
Many, O Yahweh my God, are the wondrous deeds You have done,
And Your thoughts toward us;
There is none to compare with You.
I would declare and speak of them,
But they are too numerous to recount.
