1My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me? Far from my salvation, The words of my roaring?2My God, I call by day, and Thou answerest not, And by night, and there is no silence to me.3And Thou art holy, Sitting -- the Praise of Israel.4In Thee did our fathers trust -- they trusted, And Thou dost deliver them.5Unto Thee they cried, and were delivered, In Thee they trusted, and were not ashamed.6And I am a worm, and no man, A reproach of man, and despised of the people.7All beholding me do mock at me, They make free with the lip -- shake the head,8`Roll unto Jehovah, He doth deliver him, He doth deliver him, for he delighted in him.'9For thou art He bringing me forth from the womb, Causing me to trust, On the breasts of my mother.10On Thee I have been cast from the womb, From the belly of my mother Thou art my God.11Be not far from me, For adversity is near, for there is no helper.12Many bulls have surrounded me, Mighty ones of Bashan have compassed me,13They have opened against me their mouth, A lion tearing and roaring.14As waters I have been poured out, And separated themselves have all my bones, My heart hath been like wax, It is melted in the midst of my bowels.15Dried up as an earthen vessel is my power, And my tongue is cleaving to my jaws.16And to the dust of death thou appointest me, For surrounded me have dogs, A company of evil doers have compassed me, Piercing my hands and my feet.17I count all my bones -- they look expectingly, They look upon me,18They apportion my garments to themselves, And for my clothing they cause a lot to fall.19And Thou, O Jehovah, be not far off, O my strength, to help me haste.20Deliver from the sword my soul, From the paw of a dog mine only one.21Save me from the mouth of a lion: -- And -- from the horns of the high places Thou hast answered me!22I declare Thy name to my brethren, In the midst of the assembly I praise Thee.23Ye who fear Jehovah, praise ye Him, All the seed of Jacob, honour ye Him, And be afraid of Him, all ye seed of Israel.24For He hath not despised, nor abominated, The affliction of the afflicted, Nor hath He hidden His face from him, And in his crying unto Him He heareth.25Of Thee my praise is in the great assembly. My vows I complete before His fearers.26The humble do eat and are satisfied, Praise Jehovah do those seeking Him, Your heart doth live for ever.27Remember and return unto Jehovah, Do all ends of the earth, And before Thee bow themselves, Do all families of the nations,28For to Jehovah is the kingdom, And He is ruling among nations.29And the fat ones of earth have eaten, And they bow themselves, Before Him bow do all going down to dust, And he who hath not revived his soul.30A seed doth serve Him, It is declared of the Lord to the generation.31They come and declare His righteousness, To a people that is borne, that He hath made!

A Psalm of David.1Jehovah is my shepherd, I do not lack,2In pastures of tender grass He causeth me to lie down, By quiet waters He doth lead me.3My soul He refresheth, He leadeth me in paths of righteousness, For His name's sake,4Also -- when I walk in a valley of death-shade, I fear no evil, for Thou art with me, Thy rod and Thy staff -- they comfort me.5Thou arrangest before me a table, Over-against my adversaries, Thou hast anointed with oil my head, My cup is full!6Only -- goodness and kindness pursue me, All the days of my life, And my dwelling is in the house of Jehovah, For a length of days!

A Psalm of David.1To Jehovah is the earth and its fulness, The world and the inhabitants in it.2For He on the seas hath founded it, And on the floods He doth establish it.3Who goeth up into the hill of Jehovah? And who riseth up in His holy place?4The clean of hands, and pure of heart, Who hath not lifted up to vanity his soul, Nor hath sworn to deceit.5He beareth away a blessing from Jehovah, Righteousness from the God of his salvation.6This is a generation of those seeking Him. Seeking Thy face, O Jacob! Selah.7Lift up, O gates, your heads, And be lifted up, O doors age-during, And come in doth the king of glory!8Who is this -- `the king of glory?' Jehovah -- strong and mighty, Jehovah, the mighty in battle.9Lift up, O gates, your heads, And be lifted up, O doors age-during, And come in doth the king of glory!10Who is He -- this `king of glory?' Jehovah of hosts -- He is the king of glory! Selah.
