New Translation Psalms 1
Chap. 1
1 Blessed [is] the man who hath not walked in the counsel of the wicked, and hath not stood in the way of sinners, and hath not sat in the seat of scorners.
2 But in the law of Jehovah [is] his delight, and in his law doth he meditate by day and by night.
3 And he is as a tree planted by the waterbrooks, which yieldeth its fruit in its season, and its leaf fadeth not; and all that he doeth prospereth.
4 The wicked [are] not so, but [are] like the chaff which the wind scattereth.
5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6 For Jehovah knoweth the way of the righteous; but the way of the wicked shall perish.
New Translation Psalms 2
Chap. 2
1 Why have the heathen raged, and do the people meditate a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the princes have consulted together, against Jehovah and against his anointed:
3 “Let us break their bands, and cast away their cords from us.”
4 He who sitteth in the heavens laugheth: the Lord derideth them.
5 Then he speaketh unto them in his anger, and in his wrath he confoundeth them:
6 “Yet have I anointed my king upon Zion the mountain of my holiness.”
7 “Let me declare the decree; Jehovah said unto me, ‘Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.’
8 Ask of me, and I will give nations [for] thine inheritance, and the ends of the earth [for] thy possession.
9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; as a potter's vessel shalt thou dash them in pieces.'“
10 And now, O ye kings, be wise; be admonished, ye judges of the earth;
11 Serve Jehovah with fear and rejoice with trembling;
12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry and ye perish in the way when his anger consumeth but a little: blessed [are] all who trust in him.
New Translation Psalms 16
1 MICHTAM of David. Preserve me, O God, for I have trusted in thee.
2 Thou hast said unto Jehovah, Thou [art] the. Lord: my goodness [is] not to thee;
3 Unto the saints which are upon the earth, [even] them, and the excellent, All my delight [is] in them.
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied; they have hastened [after] another; I will not pour out their drinkofferings of blood, and I will not take their names upon my lips.
5 Jehovah [is] the portion of mine inheritance and my cup; thou maintainest my lot.
6 The lines have fallen unto me in pleasant places, yea, the portion hath been fair to me.
7 I will bless Jehovah who hath counseled me; also by night my reins have admonished me.
8 I have set Jehovah before me always; because [he is] at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9 Therefore my heart hath been glad, and my soul rejoiceth; my flesh also shall lie down in confidence.
10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in Sheol; thou wilt not suffer thine holy one to see corruption.
11 Thou wilt show me the path of life, fullness of joys in thy presence, pleasures at thy right hand forever.
New Translation Psalms 19
Chap. 19
1 To the chief musician; a Psalm of David.
2 The heavens [are] telling the glory of God, and the expanse [is] shelving the work of his hands.
3 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night showeth knowledge.
4 [There is] no speech and [there are] no words; their voice is not heard.
5 In all the earth their line has gone forth, and their speech unto the end of the world; in them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun;
6 And it [is] as a bridegroom going forth from his bridal chamber; it rejoiceth as a mighty man to run a course.
7 From the end of the heavens [is] its going forth, and its circuit unto their ends, and nothing is hidden from its heat.
8 The law of Jehovah [is] perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of Jehovah [is] true, making wise the simple.
9 The precepts of Jehovah [are] right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of Jehovah [is] clear, enlightening the eyes.
10 The fear of Jehovah [is] pure, enduring forever; the judgments of Jehovah [are] truth, they [are] righteous altogether,
11 To be desired more than gold, and more than much pure gold; and sweeter than honey and the dropping of the honeycomb.
12 Also thy servant is admonished by them, in keeping them [is] great reward.
13 Errors—who discerneth them? cleanse thou me from secret [ones].
14 Also from presumptuous [ones] keep back thy servant; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and be clear from much transgression.
15 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable before thee, O Jehovah, my rock and my redeemer.
New Translation Psalms 25
Book1
Chap. 25
1 Of David. Unto thee, O Jehovah, do I lift up my soul.
2 My God, in thee have I trusted; let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
3 Yea, all those who wait on thee shall not be ashamed; they shall be ashamed who deal falsely without a cause.
4 Make me to know thy ways, O Jehovah; teach me thy paths.
5 Lead me in thy truth and teach me, for thou [art] the God of my salvation; for thee have I waited all the day.
6 Remember thy tender mercies, O Jehovah, and thy kindness, for they [are] from everlasting.
7 The sins of my youth and my transgressions remember thou not; according to thy mercy remember thou me, for thy goodness sake, O Jehovah.
8 Good and upright [is] Jehovah; therefore he teacheth sinners in the way.
9 He guideth the meek in judgment and he teacheth the meek his way.
10 All the paths of Jehovah [are] mercy and truth to those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11 For thy name's sake, O Jehovah, thou hast even pardoned mine iniquity, for it [is] great.
12 Who [is] this, the man that feareth Jehovah? He teacheth him in the way he chooseth.
13 His soul abideth in goodness, and his seed shall inherit the earth.
14 The secret of Jehovah [is] for those who fear him, and his covenant, to instruct them.
15 Mine eyes [are] continually unto Jehovah, for he bringeth forth my feet from a net.
16 Turn thyself unto me and be gracious to me, for I [am] desolate and afflicted.
17 The troubles of my heart have been enlarged; bring me out of mine afflictions.
18 Look upon mine affliction and my sorrow, and forgive all my sins.
19 Look upon mine enemies, for they are many; and [with] a hatred of violence they have hated me.
20 Keep my soul and deliver me; let me not be ashamed, for I have trusted in thee.
21 Integrity and uprightness shall preserve me, for I have waited for thee.
22 Redeem Israel, O God, from all his distresses.
New Translation Psalms 35
Book First
Chap. 35
1 Of David. Strive, O Jehovah, with mine adversaries; fight with those that fight against me.
2 Take hold of shield and buckler and arise for my help,
3 And draw out the spear, and shut [the way] against my pursuers; say unto my soul, I [am] thy salvation.
4 They shall be ashamed and put to shame who seek after my soul; they shall be driven backward and confounded who devise my hurt.
5 They shall be as chaff before the wind, and the angel of Jehovah overthrowing [them].
6 Their way shall be darkness and slippery places; and the angel of Jehovah pursuing them.
7 For without cause they have hidden a pit for me, their net; without cause they have dug a pit for my soul.
8 Destruction shall come upon him, he shall not know; and his net which he hid shall catch him; into destruction shall be fall in it.
9 And my soul shall rejoice in Jehovah, and shall be joyful in his salvation.
10 All my bones shall say, O Jehovah, who is like unto thee? delivering the poor from him that is stronger than he, and the poor and needy from him that spoileth him.
11 False witnesses rise up; they ask me that which I have not known.
12 They requite me evil instead of good [to the] bereaving of my soul.
13 But as for me, when they were sick, my garment [was] sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returneth into my bosom.
14 As if [he were] a neighbor, as if a brother to me, I have acted; like the mourning of a mother, mourning, I bowed down.
15 But in my halting they rejoiced and were gathered together; the slanderers were gathered together against me, and I knew it not; they reviled and were not silent,
16 With profane mockers [in] a feast, gnashing upon me [with] their teeth.
17 O Lord, how long wilt thou behold? restore my soul from their destructions, mine only one from the young lions.
18 I will praise thee in the great congregation; among a strong people I will sing praise unto thee.
19 Let not mine enemies rejoice over me falsely; my haters without cause wink the eye.
20 For they speak not peace, but they devise deceitful words against the quiet ones of the earth.
21 And they open wide their mouth upon me; they have said, Aha, aim, our eye hath seen.
22 Thou hast seen, O Jehovah; keep not silent, O Lord, be not far from me.
23 Awake up and arise for my judgment, my God and my Lord, for my cause.
24 Judge me according to thy righteousness, O Jehovah my God, and let them not rejoice over me.
25 Let them not say in their heart, Aha, our soul! Let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
26 They shall be ashamed and confounded together who rejoice at my hurt; they shall be clothed with shame and reproach who magnify themselves against me.
27 They shall shout for joy and rejoice who delight in my righteousness, and they shall say continually, Let Jehovah be magnified, who delighteth in the peace of his servant.
28 And my tongue shall celebrate thy righteousness, thy praise, all the day.
New Translation Psalms 37
1 Or David. Fret not thyself because of the evildoers; be not envious at the workers of iniquity.
2 For like grass they are speedily cut off, and like the greenness of the tender herb they do fade.
3 Trust in Jehovah and do good, inhabit the land and feed upon truth.
4 Delight thyself also in Jehovah, and he will give thee the requests of thy heart.
5 Roll thy way upon Jehovah; trust also in him, and he will do [it].
6 And he will bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noon-day.
7 Be silent to Jehovah and wait for him; fret not thyself because of him who maketh his way to prosper, because of the man who doeth wicked devices.
8 Cease from anger and forsake wrath; fret not thyself only to do evil.
9 For evil-doers shall be cut off, but those who wait for Jehovah, they shall inherit the earth.
10 And yet a little and the wicked [man] is not, and thou considerest his place, and he is no more.
11 But the meek shall inherit the earth and delight themselves in abundance of peace.
12 The wicked [man] deviseth evil against the righteous [man] and gnasheth his teeth upon him.
13 The Lord laugheth at him, for he hath seen that his day is come.
14 A sword have the wicked drawn, and they have bent their bow, to cause the poor and needy to fall, to slay the upright in way.
15 Their sword shall come into their own heart and their bows shall be broken.
16 Better [is] a little to the righteous [man] than the abundance of many wicked.
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but Jehovah upholdeth the righteous.
18 Jehovah knoweth the days of the upright, and their inheritance shall be forever.
19 They shall not be ashamed in the time of evil, and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20 For the wicked shall perish and the enemies of Jehovah as the precious part of lambs: they have vanished, into smoke they have vanished.
21 The wicked [man] borroweth and payeth not, but the righteous [man] hath compassion and giveth.
22 For his blest ones shall inherit the earth, but his accursed ones shall be cut off.
23 By Jehovah the steps of a man are established, and he delighteth in his way.
24 If he falleth, he is not cast down; for Jehovah upholdeth his hand.
25 I have been a youth, I have also become old: yet have I not seen the righteous [man] forsaken, nor his seed begging for bread.
26 All the day [is he] being gracious and lending; and his seed [is] for a blessing.
27 Depart from evil and do good, and dwell forever.
28 For Jehovah loveth justice and forsaketh not his holy ones; they are preserved forever, but the seed of the wicked is cut off.
29 The righteous shall inherit the earth and shall dwell forever upon it.
30 The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom and his tongue speaketh justice.
31 The law of his God [is] in his heart; none of his steps slip.
32 The wicked [man] lieth in wait for the righteous [one] and seeketh to kill him.
33 Jehovah will not leave him in his hand, and will not condemn him when he is judged.
34 Wait for Jehovah and keep his ways, and he will exalt thee to inherit the land; when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see [it].
35 I have seen the wicked [man] strong and spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.
36 And he passeth away and behold he is not; and I seek him, and he is not found.
37 Mark the perfect [man] and behold the upright [man], for the end to [that] man [is] peace.
38 But those who transgress are destroyed together; the end of the wicked has been cut off.
39 And the salvation of the righteous [is] from Jehovah, [he is] their refuge in the time of trouble.
40 And Jehovah helped: them and delivereth them; he will deliver them and save them because they have trusted in him.
New Translation Psalms 38
Book First
1. A Psalm of David; to bring to remembrance.
2. O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger, nor chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
3. For thine arrows have entered into me, and thy hand hath come down upon me.
4. There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; there is no peace in my bones because of my sin.
5. For mine iniquities have passed over my head; as a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
6. My wounds have stunk; they have consumed away because of my folly.
7. I have been bowed down, I have been brought low to the utmost, all the day have I walked mourning.
8. For my loins are filled with burning, and there is no soundness in my flesh.
9. I have been feeble and broken to the uttermost; I have groaned because of the groaning of my heart.
10. O Lord, before thee [is] all my desire, and my sighing hath not been hidden from thee.
11 My heart hath panted; my strength hath forsaken me, and the light of mine eyes—even they are not with me.
12 My lovers and my neighbors stand aloof from my calamity, and my kinsmen have stood afar off.
13 And those who seek after my soul have laid snares, and those who seek my hurt have spoken mischievous things, and all the day do they meditate deceits.
14 And I as a deaf [man] hear not, and as a dumb [man] he openeth not his mouth.
15 And I am as a man who heareth not and in whose mouth there are no reproofs.
16 Because for thee, O Jehovah, have I waited; thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.
17 For I said, Lest they rejoice over me! at the moving of my foot they magnified themselves against me.
18 For I am prepared for halting, and my pain [is] continually before me.
19 For I will declare mine iniquity, I am afflicted because of my sin.
20 But mine enemies have been strong in life, and those who hate me without cause are multiplied.
21 And those who recompense me evil for good will oppose me because of my pursuing good.
22 Forsake me not, O Jehovah; O my God, be not far from me.
23 Make haste to my help, O Lord, my salvation.
New Translation Psalms 39
Book First
1 To the chief musician, to Jeduthun; a psalm of David.
2 I said, I will keep my ways, from sinning with my tongue; I will keep a muzzle for my mouth, while the wicked one is before me.
3 I was dumb in silence, I held my peace from good, and my sorrow was stirred.
4 My heart glowed in my inwards; in my meditation the fire will burn: I spoke with my tongue,
5 Make me to know, O Jehovah, my end, and the measure of my days, what it is; let me know when I shall cease.
6 Behold, spans hast thou given my days, and my duration [is] as nothing before thee: only all vanity is every man established before thee. Selah.
7 Only in an image does a man walk; only a breath do they make a noise: he hoardeth, and knoweth not who shall gather them.
8 And now what wait I for, O Lord? My hope [is] in thee.
9 From all my transgressions deliver me; the reproach of the fool do not put me.
10 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth because thou didst [it].
11 Remove from me thy stroke; from the strife of thy hand I am consumed.
12 With chastisement for iniquity thou correctest man, and consumest like the moth what he desireth: only vanity is every man. Selah.
13 Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, and to my cry give ear; at my tears be not silent; for a stranger [am] I with thee, a sojourner like all my fathers.
14 Look away from me, and let me comfort myself before I go and am not.
New Translation Psalms 42
1 To the chief musician; Maschil, to the sons of Korah.
2 As the hart longeth after the brooks of water, so my soul longeth after thee, Ο God.
3 My soul hath thirsted for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
4 My tears have been food to me by day and by night, whilst they say unto me all the day, Where [is] thy God?
5 These things do I remember, and I pour out my soul within me; when I pass through the crowd, I go softly with them unto the house of God with the voice of singing and praise, a multitude keeping a feast.
6 Why art thou cast down, [O] my soul, and hast been disquieted within me? Wait thou for God, for I shall yet praise him [for] the help of his countenance.
7 O my God, my soul is cast down within me; therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan and the Hermonites, from the mountain Mizar.
8 Deep is calling unto deep at the voice of thy waterfalls; all thy waves and thy billows have passed over me.
9 By day Jehovah commandeth his mercy, and by night his song [is] with me, supplication to the God of my life.
10 I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
11 With a sword in my bones mine oppressors have reproached me, when they say all the day unto me, Where is thy God?
12 Why art thou cast down, [O] my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? Wait thou for God, for I shall yet praise him, the help of my countenance and my God.
New Translation Psalms 46
Chap. 46
1 To the chief musician, to the sons of Korah; upon Alamoth, a song.
2 God is a refuge and strength unto us, a help in distresses very readily found.
3 Therefore will we not fear in the changing of the earth and in the moving of mountains into the heart of the sea.
4 Its waters roar, they are troubled; the mountains tremble with its pride. Selah.
5 [There is] a river; its streams make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.
6 God [is] in her midst: she shall not be moved; God shall help her at the appearing of morning.
7 Gentiles raged, kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice; the earth melteth.
8 Jehovah of hosts [is] with us; the God of Jacob [is] a refuge unto us. Selah.
9 Come, behold the works of Jehovah, who hath set desolations in the earth,
10 Causing wars to cease unto the ends of the earth; he breaketh the bow and cutteth the spear; he burneth the war-chariots in the fire.
11 Leave off, and know that I [am] God: I will be exalted among the Gentiles; I will be exalted in the earth.
12 Jehovah of hosts [is] with us; the God of Jacob is a refuge unto us. Selah.
New Translation Psalms 48
Book Second
Chap. 48
1 A song; a psalm for the sons of Korah,
2 Great [is] Jehovah and exceedingly praised, in the city of our God, the mountain of his holiness.
3 Beautiful for elevation, the joy of the whole earth [is] the mountain of Zion, [on] the sides of the north; the city of the great King.
4 God hath been known in her palaces as a refuge.
5 For lo! the kings met, they passed through together.
6 They saw, so they wondered, they were terrified, they fled in alarm.
7 Trembling seized them there, pain as of one bringing forth.
8 With an east wind thou breakest the ships of Tarshish.
9 As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of Jehovah of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish her forever. Selah.
10 We have meditated on thy mercy, Ο God, in the midst of thy temple.
11 According to thy name, Ο God, so is thy praise, unto the ends of the earth: of righteousness is thy right hand full.
12 Mount Zion rejoiceth, the daughters of Judah exult because of thy judgments.
13 Surround ye Zion and encompass her; count ye her towers.
14 Set your heart to her rampart; consider her palaces, that ye may recount to the generation following.
15 For this God [is] our God [for] ever and ever; he will lead us unto death.
New Translation Psalms 49
Chap. 49
1 To the chief musician; for the sons of Korah, a psalm.
2 Hear ye this, all the peoples; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world,
3 Both low and high, rich and poor together.
4 My mouth speaketh wisdom, and the meditation of my heart [is] understanding.
5 I incline mine ear to a parable, I open upon a harp my riddle.
6 Why should I fear in the days of evil? The iniquity of my supplanters surroundeth me,
7 Those who trust in their wealth and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches.
8 In no wise can a man redeem a brother, he giveth not to God a ransom for him
9 (But the redemption-price of their soul [is] precious, and it hath ceased forever),
10 That he should still live for ever and not see corruption.
11 For he seeth [that] wise men die; together the fool and the brutish man perish and have left to others their wealth.
12 Their inward thought [is] their houses [shall be] forever, their dwelling-places to generation and generation; they have called their lands by their own names.
13 But man in honor abideth not; he hath become like the cattle, they have been cut off.
14 This their way [is] folly for them; yet those who come after them will take pleasure in their words. Selah.
15 Like the sheep they have laid in the grave; death feedeth upon them, and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; but their form is to be consumed in the grave from its dwelling.
16 Surely God will redeem my soul from the hand of the grave, for he shall receive me. Selah.
17 Fear thou not when a man becometh rich, when the glory of his house increaseth.
18 For he taketh not all this away when he dieth; his glory shall not descend after him.
19 Though he blesseth his soul in his life, and men will praise thee when thou doest good to thyself,
20 Thou shalt go unto the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.
21 Man in honor and who understandeth not hath become like the cattle; they have been cut off.
New Translation Psalms 50
Book Second

1 A psalm of Asaph. God, God Jehovah, hath spoken and hath called the earth from the rising of the sun unto its setting.
2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.
3 Our God shall come and shall not be silent; a fire consumeth before him and hath been very tempestuous round about him.
4 He calleth unto the heavens from above, and unto the earth to judge his people.
5 Gather together my saints unto me, making my covenant by sacrifice.
6 And the heavens declare his righteousness, for God [is] judge himself. Selah.
7 Hearken, Ο my people, and let me speak, Ο Israel, and let me testify against thee: God, thy God, [am] I will not reproach thee because of thy sacrifices and thy burnt-offerings continually before me.
9 I will not take a bullock out of thy house, [nor] he-goats from thy folds.
10 For unto me [belongeth] every beast of the forest, the cattle upon a thousand hills.
11 I have known every bird of the hills, and the wealth of the fields is with me.
12 If I were hungry I would not tell thee, for unto me [belongeth] the world and its fullness.
13 Shall I eat the flesh of bulls and shall I drink the blood of he-goats?
14 Sacrifice unto God thanks-giving, and perform unto the Most High thy vows.
15 And call upon me in the day of distress: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
16 And to the wicked one God hath said, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes? and thou hast taken my covenant into thy mouth.
17 But thou hast hated correction and hast cast my words behind thee.
18 If thou sawest a thief, then thou didst associate with him, and with adulterers [has been] thy portion.
19 Thy mouth thou hast let loose unto evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.
20 Thou sittest, thou speakest against thy brother; against the son of thy mother dost thou utter destruction.
21 These things hast thou done, and I have been silent; thou hast imagined [that] I have been altogether like thyself; I will rebuke thee and will set in order before thine eyes.
22 Consider this, I pray, ye forgetters of God, lest I tear in pieces and there be no deliverer.
23 He who sacrificeth praise glorifieth me, and him who considereth his way will I cause to see the salvation of God.
New Translation Psalms 51

1. To the chief musician; a psalm of David,
2. When Nathan the prophet came unto him, as he had gone unto Bathsheba.
3. Be gracious unto me, Ο God, according unto thy mercy: according unto the multitude of thy compassions blot out my transgressions.
4. Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
5. For I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sin [is] continually before me.
6. Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and I have done the evil in thine eyes; in order that thou mayest be justified when thou speakest, and be pure when thou judgest.
7. Behold, in iniquity was I born, and in sin did my mother conceive me.
8. Behold, thou hast desired truth in the inward parts, and in the hidden [part] thou wilt make me to know wisdom.
9. Thou wilt purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; thou wilt wash me, and I shall become whiter than snow.
10. Thou wilt make me to hear joy and gladness; the bones [which] thou hast broken shall rejoice.
11. Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
12. Create for me a pure heart, Ο God, and all established spirit renew thou within me.
13. Cast me not out from thy presence and take not thy Holy Spirit from me.
14. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and let a free spirit uphold me.
15. I will teach transgressors thy ways, and sinners shall turn unto thee.
16. Deliver me from blood, Ο God, the God of my salvation; my tongue shall celebrate thy righteousness.
17. Ο Lord, thou wilt open my lips, and my mouth shall declare thy praise.
18. For thou delightest not in sacrifice, else would I give it; in burnt-offering thou dost not take pleasure.
19. The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit; a heart broken and contrite, Ο God, thou despisest not.
20. Do good, in thy favor, to Zion; thou wilt build the walls of Jerusalem.
21. Then wilt thou delight in sacrifices of righteousness, burnt-offering and whole burnt-offering; then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altars.
New Translation Psalms 52
Book Second
52.
1. To the chief musician; a psalm of instruction of David,
2. When Doeg the Edomite went in and told Saul and said to him, David went unto the house of Abimelech.
3. Why boastest thou thyself in evil, Ο mighty man? The mercy of God [is] all the day.
4. Thy tongue deviseth wickedness, as a sharpened razor, working deceit.
5. Thou hast loved evil rather than good, falsehood rather than speaking righteousness. Selah.
6. Thou hast loved all words of destruction, Ο tongue of deceit.
7. God also will destroy thee forever; he will lay hold of thee and tear thee away from thy tent, and he will root thee up from the land of the living. Selah.
8. And the righteous shall see, and they shall fear and shall laugh over him.
9. Behold the man who setteth not God [as] his strength but trusteth in the multitude of his riches; he is strong in his wickedness.
10. But I [am] like a green olive-tree in the house of God; I have trusted in the mercy of God forever and ever.
11. I will praise thee forever, for thou hast done [it], and I will hope in thy name, for it is good, in the presence of thy saints.
