Sing, ye righteous, in Jehovah, For upright ones praise [is] comely.

For upright [is] the word of Jehovah, And all His work [is] in faithfulness.

For He hath said, and it is, He hath commanded, and it standeth.

O the happiness of the nation whose God [is] Jehovah, Of the people He did choose, For an inheritance to Him.

A false thing [is] the horse for safety, And by the abundance of his strength He doth not deliver.

Lo, the eye of Jehovah [is] to those fearing Him, To those waiting for His kindness,

Our soul hath waited for Jehovah, Our help and our shield [is] He,

For in Him doth our heart rejoice, For in His holy name we have trusted.

Let Thy kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, As we have waited for Thee!

Fear Jehovah, ye His holy ones, For there is no lack to those fearing Him.

Take hold of shield and buckler, and rise for my help,

For without cause they hid for me their netpit, Without cause they digged for my soul.

Meet him doth desolation -- he knoweth not, And his net that he hid catcheth him, For desolation he falleth into it.

They pay me evil for good, bereaving my soul,

As [if] a friend, as [if] my brother, I walked habitually, As a mourner for a mother, Mourning I have bowed down.

For they speak not peace, And against the quiet of the land, Deceitful words they devise,

For he made [it] smooth to himself in his eyes, To find his iniquity to be hated.

For with Thee [is] a fountain of life, In Thy light we see light.

For as grass speedily they are cut off, And as the greenness of the tender grass do fade.

Be silent for Jehovah, and stay thyself for Him, Do not fret because of him Who is making prosperous his way, Because of a man doing wicked devices.
