Behold, the eye of Yahweh is on those who fear him, on those who hope for his loyal love

For in him our heart rejoices because in his holy name we trust.

Of David, when he pretended to be crazy in front of Abimelech so that he drove him out, and so he departed. I will bless Yahweh at all times; his praise shall be in my mouth continually.

Magnify Yahweh with me, and let us exalt his name together.

This poor man called and Yahweh heard, and saved him from all his troubles.

Fear Yahweh, you his saints, for there is no lack for those who fear him.

The eyes of Yahweh are toward the righteous, and his ears toward their cry for help.

He protects all his bones; not one of them is broken.

Yahweh redeems the life of his servants, and none who take refuge in him will incur guilt.

Let unforeseen ruin come on him, and his net that he hid, let it catch him. Let him fall into it in ruin.

Then my soul will rejoice in Yahweh; it will rejoice in his salvation.

Let them shout for joy and be glad, who delight in my vindication; and let them say continually, "Yahweh is great, who delights in the welfare of his servant."

For the music director. Of David, the servant of Yahweh. An oracle: the wicked has rebellion in the midst of his heart. There is no fear of God before his eyes.

For he flatters himself in his eyes, hating to detect his iniquity.

The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit. He has ceased to have insight and to do good.

He plans sin on his bed. He puts himself on a way that is not good. He does not reject evil.

Be quiet before Yahweh and wait for him. Do not fret about one who succeeds in his way, about a man making plots.

And yet a little while and the wicked will not be, and you will look carefully upon his place, but he will not be.

The wicked plans evil against the righteous, and gnashes at him with his teeth.

The Lord laughs at him, for he sees that his day is coming.
