O Yahweh, I call upon You; hasten to me!
Give ear to my voice when I call to You!
May my prayer be established as incense before You;
The lifting up of my hands as the evening offering.
Set a guard, O Yahweh, over my mouth;
Keep watch over the door of my lips.
Do not incline my heart to any evil thing,
To practice deeds in wickedness
With men who are workers of iniquity;
And do not let me eat of their delicacies.

Let the righteous smite me in lovingkindness and reprove me;
It is oil upon the head;
Let not my head refuse it,
For still my prayer is against their evil deeds.
Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the cliff,
And they hear my words, for they are pleasant.
As when one plows and splits open the earth,
Our bones have been scattered at the mouth of Sheol.

For my eyes are toward You, O Yahweh, O Lord;
In You I take refuge; do not pour out my soul to death.
Keep me from the jaws of the trap which they have set for me,
And from the snares of workers of iniquity.
Let the wicked fall into their own nets,
As for myself—meanwhile, I am passing by.

I know that Yahweh will maintain the cause for the afflicted
And judgment for the needy.
Surely the righteous will give thanks to Your name;
The upright will abide in Your presence.

Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me and know my anxious thoughts;
And see if there be any hurtful way in me,
And lead me in the everlasting way.

I will give You thanks with all my heart;
I will sing praises to You before the gods.
I will worship toward Your holy temple
And give thanks to Your name for Your lovingkindness and Your truth;
For You have magnified Your word according to all Your name.
On the day I called, You answered me;
You made me bold with strength in my soul.

All the kings of the earth, O Yahweh, will give You thanks,
When they hear the words of Your mouth.
And they will sing of the ways of Yahweh,
For great is the glory of Yahweh.
For Yahweh is high,
Yet He sees the lowly,
But the one who exalts himself He knows from afar.

Though I walk in the midst of distress, You will revive me;
You will stretch forth Your hand against the wrath of my enemies,
And Your right hand will save me.
Yahweh will accomplish what concerns me;
O Yahweh, Your lovingkindness endures forever;
Do not fail the works of Your hands.

Give thanks to Yahweh, for He is good,
For His lovingkindness endures forever.
Give thanks to the God of gods,
For His lovingkindness endures forever.
Give thanks to the Lord of lords,
For His lovingkindness endures forever.
To Him who alone does great wonders,
For His lovingkindness endures forever;

To Him who made the heavens with skill,
For His lovingkindness endures forever;
To Him who spread out the earth above the waters,
For His lovingkindness endures forever;
To Him who made the great lights,
For His lovingkindness endures forever:
The sun to rule by day,
For His lovingkindness endures forever,
The moon and stars to rule by night,
For His lovingkindness endures forever.

Who remembered us in our low estate,
For His lovingkindness endures forever,
And has snatched us from our adversaries,
For His lovingkindness endures forever;
Who gives food to all flesh,
For His lovingkindness endures forever.
Give thanks to the God of heaven,
For His lovingkindness endures forever.

Praise Yah!
Praise the name of Yahweh;
Praise Him, O slaves of Yahweh,
You who stand in the house of Yahweh,
In the courts of the house of our God!
Praise Yah, for Yahweh is good;
Sing praises to His name, for it is lovely.
For Yah has chosen Jacob for Himself,
Israel for His treasured possession.
For I know that Yahweh is great
And that our Lord is greater than all gods.
Whatever Yahweh pleases, He does,
In heaven and on earth, in the seas and in all deeps.
The One who causes the clouds to ascend from the end of the earth;
Who makes lightnings for the rain,
Who brings forth the wind from His storehouses.

Behold, bless Yahweh, all you slaves of Yahweh,
Who stand in the house of Yahweh by night!
Lift up your hands to the sanctuary
And bless Yahweh.
May Yahweh bless you from Zion,
Who made heaven and earth.

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
For brothers to dwell together in unity!

I have prepared a lamp for Mine anointed.
His enemies I will clothe with shame,
But upon him, his crown shall blossom.”
