The steps of a man are established by Yahweh, and he takes pleasure in his way.

Though he fall, he will not be cast headlong, for Yahweh supports him with his hand.

I was a youth, but I am now old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his children begging for bread.

All the day he is gracious and lends, and his children are a blessing.

For Yahweh loves justice and will not forsake his faithful ones. They are protected forever. But the children of the wicked will be cut off.

The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks justice.

The law of his God is in his heart. His steps will not slip.

Yahweh will not abandon him into his hand, and he will not let him be condemned when he is judged.

Wait for Yahweh and keep his way, and he will exalt you to possess the land. When the wicked are cut off, you will see it.

But as for me, like the deaf I cannot hear, and I am like the mute who cannot open his mouth.

When with rebukes you chastise a man for sin, you consume like a moth his delightful things. Surely everyone is a mere vapor. Selah

Blessed is the man who makes Yahweh his trust and does not turn to the proud and to those who fall away to a lie.

Yahweh protects him and keeps him alive; he is blessed in the land, and you do not give him into the will of his enemies.

Yahweh sustains him on his sick bed. In his illness, you restore to health.

My enemies speak evil about me, "When will he die and his name perish?"

And when one comes to see me, he speaks falsely; his heart gathers disaster for itself. He goes out to the street; he speaks.

Even my close friend, whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted his heel against me.

Why are you in despair, O my soul, and disturbed within me? Hope in God, because I will again praise him, for the salvation of his presence.

By day Yahweh commands his loyal love, and in the night his song is with me, a prayer to the God of my life.

Nations roar, kingdoms shake; he utters his voice, the earth melts.
