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.
Many are saying, “Who will show us good?”
Lift up the light of Your face upon us, O Yahweh!

You have put gladness in my heart,
More than when their grain and new wine abound.
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.

Arise, O Yahweh; save me, O my God!
For You have struck all my enemies on the cheek;
You have shattered the teeth of the wicked.
Salvation belongs to Yahweh;
Your blessing be upon Your people! Selah.

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.

Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain,
But a woman who fears Yahweh, she shall be praised.

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.

When the righteous increase, the people are glad,
But when a wicked man rules, people groan.

By justice the king causes the land to stand,
But a man of bribes tears it down.

Where there is no vision, the people are out of control,
But how blessed is he who keeps the law.

Trembling before man brings a snare,
But he who trusts in Yahweh will be set securely on high.

Many seek the face of a ruler,
But justice for man comes from Yahweh.

He who conceals his transgressions will not prosper,
But he who confesses and forsakes them will receive compassion.

How blessed is the man who is always in dread,
But he who hardens his heart will fall into calamity.

An arrogant man stirs up strife,
But he who trusts in Yahweh will be enriched.

He who trusts in his own heart is a fool,
But he who walks wisely will escape.

Do not boast about tomorrow,
For you do not know what a day may bring forth.

Let a stranger praise you, and not your own mouth;
A foreigner, and not your own lips.
