O Yahweh, our Lord,
How majestic is Your name in all the earth,
Who displays Your splendor above the heavens!
From the mouth of infants and nursing babies You have established strength
Because of Your adversaries,
To make the enemy and the revengeful cease.

When I see Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which You have established;
What is man that You remember him,
And the son of man that You care for him?
Yet You have made him a little lower than the angels,
And You crown him with glory and majesty!
You make him to rule over the works of Your hands;
You have put all things under his feet,
All sheep and oxen,
And also the animals of the field,
The birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea,
Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

O Yahweh, our Lord,
How majestic is Your name in all the earth!

I will give thanks to Yahweh according to His righteousness
And will sing praise to the name of Yahweh Most High.

O Yahweh, do not reprove me in Your anger,
Nor discipline me in Your wrath.
Be gracious to me, O Yahweh, for I am pining away;
Heal me, O Yahweh, for my bones are dismayed.
And my soul is greatly dismayed;
But You, O Yahweh—how long?
Return, O Yahweh, rescue my soul;
Save me because of Your lovingkindness.

Give ear to my words, O Yahweh,
Consider my meditation.
Give heed to the sound of my cry for help, my King and my God,
For to You I pray.
O Yahweh, in the morning, You will hear my voice;
In the morning I will order my prayer to You and eagerly watch.
•••
But let all who take refuge in You be glad,
Let them ever sing for joy;
And may You shelter them,
That those who love Your name may exult in You.
For it is You who blesses the righteous one, O Yahweh,
You surround him with favor as with a large shield.

Tremble, and do not sin;
Ponder in your heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness,
And trust in Yahweh.
•••
In peace I will both lie down and sleep,
For You alone, O Yahweh, make me to abide in safety.

But You, O Yahweh, are a shield about me,
My glory, and the One who lifts my head.
I was calling to Yahweh with my voice,
And He answered me from His holy mountain. Selah.
I lay down and slept;
I awoke, for Yahweh sustains me.
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people
Who all around have set themselves against me.

So now, O kings, show insight;
Take warning, O judges of the earth.
Serve Yahweh with fear
And rejoice with trembling.
Kiss the Son, lest He become angry, and you perish in the way,
For His wrath may soon be kindled.
How blessed are all who take refuge in Him!

How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,
Nor stand in the way of sinners,
Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!
But his delight is in the law of Yahweh,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
And he will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water,
Which yields its fruit in its season
And its leaf does not wither;
And in whatever he does, he prospers.
The wicked are not so,
But they are like chaff which the wind drives away.
Therefore the wicked will not rise in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of the wicked will perish.

An excellent wife, who can find?
For her worth is far above pearls.
•••
Her children rise up and bless her;
As for her husband, he also praises her, saying:
•••
“Many daughters have done excellently,
But you have gone above them all.”
•••
Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain,
But a woman who fears Yahweh, she shall be praised.
•••
Give to her from the fruit of her hands,
And let her works praise her in the gates.

Every word of God is tested;
He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.
Do not add to His words
Lest He reprove you, and you be proved a liar.
