O Yahweh of hosts! How happy the man who trusteth in thee!

Thou hast accepted, O Yahweh, thy land, Thou hast brought back the captives of Jacob;

Show us, O Yahweh, thy lovingkindness, And, thy salvation, wilt thou grant us.

I will hear, what GOD - Yahweh - will speak, - For he will bespeak prosperity to his people, And to his men of lovingkindness, And to them who return with their heart unto him.

Yahweh himself too, will give us the blessing, And, our land, shall yield her increase.

Bow down, O Yahweh, thine ear - answer me, For, oppressed and needy, am I;

Give ear, O Yahweh, unto my prayer, And attend unto the voice of my supplications.

Point out to me, O Yahweh, thy way, I will walk steadfastly in thy truth, My heart will rejoice to revere thy Name.

Perform with me a token for good, - That they who hate me may see and be ashamed, In that, thou, Yahweh, hast helped me and comforted me.

So shall the heavens praise thy wondrousness, O Yahweh, - Yea, thy faithfulness, in the convocation of holy ones.

O Yahweh, God of hosts! Who, like thee, is mighty, O Yah! With thy faithfulness round about thee:

How happy are the people who know the joyful sound! O Yahweh! in the light of thy countenance, shall they firmly march along;
