Book of Psalms

1; For the Sons of Korah. A Psalm. A Song. His foundation is in the mountains of holiness.
2; YAHWEH loves the gates of Zion more than all the tents of Jacob.
3; Glorious things are spoken of you, O city of The Elohim. Selah.
4; I will mention Rahab and Babylon to those who know me; behold, Philistia and Tyre with Ethiopia; this man was born there.
5; And it shall be said to Zion, This man and that man was born in her; and the Highest Himself shall establish her.
6; In recording the peoples YAHWEH shall mark down, This man was born there. Selah.
7; And the singers, the players of the pipe: all my springs are in You.

1; A Song. A Psalm for the Sons of Korah, to the chief musician on Mahalath, to make humble. A Poem of Heman the Ezrahite. O YAHWEH Elohim of my Yâshua, I have cried in the day, in the night before You.
2; Let my prayer come before You; bow down Your ear to my cry.
3; For my soul is full with evils, and my life touches Sheol.
4; I am counted with those who go down to the Pit; I have been like a man without strength,
5; free among the dead, as pierced ones lying in the grave, whom You remember no more; yea by Your hand they are cut off.
6; You have laid me in the lowest pit, in dark places, in the deeps.
7; Your fury has lain hard upon me, and You afflict me with all Your waves. Selah.
8; You have taken ones knowing me away from me; You have made me a hateful thing to them; I am shut up, I will not go out.
9; My eye mourns because of affliction; O YAHWEH, I have called on You every day; I have spread out my hands to You.
10; For will You do wonders for those dying? Or shall the departed spirits rise and thank You? Selah.
11; Shall Your mercy be declared in the grave, Your faithfulness amidst ruin?
12; Shall Your wonders be known in the dark, and Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
13; But to You I have cried, O YAHWEH; and in the morning my prayer shall go before You.
14; O YAHWEH, why do You cast off my soul; why do You hide Your face from me?
15; I am afflicted and dying from childhood; I suffer Your terrors; I am distracted.
16; Your fierce wrath goes over me; Your terrors have cut me off.
17; They surrounded me like waters all the day; they have come together around me.
18; You have taken lover and friend far from me, he who knows me, into darkness.
89
1; A Poem of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing of the mercies of YAHWEH forever; I will speak with my mouth Your faithfulness to all generations.
2; For I have said, Mercy shall be built up forever; You shall establish Your faithfulness in the heavens.
3; I have cut a covenant with My elect; I have sworn to David My servant,
4; I will establish your Seed forever, and build up your throne to all generations. Selah.
5; And the heavens shall thank Your wonders, O YAHWEH; also Your faithfulness in the assembly of the saints.
6; For who in the sky shall be ranked with YAHWEH, who among the sons of Elohim is like YAHWEH?
7; El is greatly to be feared in the council of the set-a-part ones, and to be adored by all around Him.
8; O YAHWEH Elohim of Hosts, who is a strong Yah like You? And Your faithfulness is all around You.
9; You rule the pride of the sea; when its waves rise high, You still them.
10; You have crushed Rahab in pieces, as one slain; You have scattered Your enemies with Your mighty arm.
11; The heavens are Yours, and the earth is Yours; the world and its fullness, You founded them.
12; You have created the north and the south; Tabor and Hermon rejoice in Your name.
13; You have a mighty arm; Your hand is strong, Your right hand is high.
14; Justice and righteousness are Your throne's foundation; mercy and truth go before Your face.
15; Blessed is the people knowing the joyful sound; O YAHWEH, they shall walk in the light of Your face.
16; They shall rejoice in Your name always; and they are exalted in Your righteousness.
17; For You are the glory of their strength; and by Your favor You lift up our horn.
18; For YAHWEH is our shield, yea, the set-a-part One of Israel our King.
19; Then You spoke in a vision to Your set-a-part one; and You said, I have laid help on a mighty one. I have exalted a chosen one from the people.
20; I have found My servant David; I have anointed him with My set-a-part oil.
21; My hand shall be fixed with him; and My arm shall make him strong.
22; An enemy will not exact against him; nor the son of iniquity afflict him.
23; And I will beat down his foes before him, and plague those hating him.
24; But My faithfulness and My mercy is with him; and his horn shall be exalted in My name.
25; And I will set his hand in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.
26; He shall cry to Me, My Father, You are my El, and the rock of my salvation (Yâshua).
27; And I will make Him My first- born, higher than the kings of the earth.
28; I will keep My mercy for him forever, and My covenant shall hold fast with him.
29; And I have established his Seed forever, and His throne as the days of the heavens.
30; If his sons forsake My Torah, and do not walk in My judgments;
31; if they profane My statutes and do not keep My instructions;
32; then I will visit their transgressions with the rod, and their sins with stripes.
33; But I will not annul My mercy from him, and I will not be false in My faithfulness.
34; I will not profane My covenant, nor change what goes from My lips.
35; Once I have sworn by My holiness; I will not lie to David.
36; His Seed shall be forever, and his throne as the sun before Me.
37; Like the moon, it shall be forever; and a faithful witness in the sky. Selah.
38; But You have cast off and rejected us; You have passed over on Your anointed.
39; You have turned away from the covenant of Your servant; You have defiled his crown on the ground.
40; You have broken down all his hedges; You have brought his strongholds to ruin.
41; All who pass by the way plunder him; he is a curse to his neighbors.
42; You have set up the right hand of his enemies; You have made all his enemies rejoice.
43; And you have turned back the edge of his sword, and have not held him up in battle.
44; You have made his glory to cease and have hurled his throne to the ground.
45; You have shortened the days of his youth; You have covered him with shame. Selah.
46; O YAHWEH, until when will You hide Yourself? Shall Your wrath burn like fire forever?
47; Remember, I pray, the time of life; for what vanity have you created all the sons of men?
48; What man lives and never sees death? Shall he deliver his soul from the hand of Sheol? Selah.
49; YAHWEH where are Your former kindnesses that You swore to David in Your faithfulness?
50; Remember, O YAHWEH, the reproach of Your servants, my bearing in my bosom the insults of the many peoples
51; with which Your enemies have cursed, O YAHWEH; with which they have cursed the footsteps of Your anointed.
52; Blessed be YAHWEH forever. Amen and Amen!
90
1; A Prayer of Moses, the Man of The Elohim. O YAHWEH, You have been our dwelling-place in all generations.
2; Before the mountains were born, or ever You had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting You are El.
3; You turn man to dust, and say, return, O sons of men.
4; For a thousand years in Your eyes are as a day, yesterday, when it passes, and as a watch in the night.
5; You flooded them away; they are as a sleep; in the morning they are like grass growing;
6; in the morning it sprouts and shoots up; in the evening it is cut off and dries up.
7; For we are consumed by Your anger, and we are troubled by Your wrath.
8; You have set our iniquities before You, our secret sins in the light of Your face.
9; For all our days pass away in Your wrath; we finish our years like a sigh.
10; The days of our years are seventy; and if any by strength live eighty years, yet their pride is labor and vanity; for it soon passes, and we fly away.
11; Who knows the power of Your anger? And as Your fear is, so is Your fury.
12; So teach us to number our days, so that we may bring a heart of wisdom.
13; Return, O YAHWEH! Until when? And give pity to Your servants.
14; O satisfy us in the morning with Your mercy, and we will be glad and rejoice all our days.
15; Make us glad according to the days of our affliction, the years in which we have seen evil.
16; Let Your work be seen in Your servants, and Your majesty to their sons.
17; And let the delight of YAHWEH our Elohim be upon us; and establish the works of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands, establish it!
91
1; He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide in the shade of the Almighty.
2; I will say to YAHWEH: My Refuge and my Fortress, my Elohim; I will trust in Him.
3; For He delivers you from the fowlers snare, from destruction's plague.
4; With His feathers He will cover you, and under His wings you shall seek refuge; His truth is a shield and buckler.
5; You shall not fear the terror of night, nor of the arrow that flies by day;
6; of the plague that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction laying waste at noon.
7; A thousand shall fall by your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; it shall not come near you.
8; Only with your eyes you shall look, and see the reward of the wicked.
9; Because You, O YAHWEH, are My refuge; You make the Most High Your habitation,
10; no evil shall happen to You, nor shall any plague come near Your tent.
11; For He shall give His cherubs charge over You, to keep You in all Your ways.
12; They shall bear You up in their hands, that You not dash Your foot on a stone.
13; You shall tread on the lion and adder; the young lion and the serpent You shall trample under foot.
14; Because He has set His love on Me, therefore I will deliver Him; I will set Him on high because He has known My name.
15; He shall call on Me and I will answer Him; I will be with Him in distress; I will rescue Him and honor Him.
16; I will satisfy him with length of days, and will make Him see My Yâshua.
92
1; A Psalm, A Song for the Sabbath Day. It is good to give thanks to YAHWEH, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High;
2; to make Your mercy known in the morning, and Your faithfulness every night;
3; on the ten strings, and on the harp; on the lyre with sounding music.
4; For You have rejoiced me with Your work, O YAHWEH; I will shout in the works of Your hands.
5; How great are Your works! O YAHWEH, Your intentions are very deep.
6; An animal-like man does not know; a fool does not understand this.
7; When the wicked flourish like grass, and all the evildoers blossom, it is for them to be destroyed forever.
8; But You, O YAHWEH, are exalted forever.
9; For, lo, Your enemies, O YAHWEH; for, lo, Your enemies shall perish; all the evildoers shall be scattered.
10; But You will lift up my horn as the wild ox, and I will be anointed with fresh oil.
11; And my eye shall look on my enemies; my ears shall hear the evildoers who rise up against me.
12; The righteous shall flourish as the palm tree; he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13; Those planted in the house of YAHWEH, in the courts of our Elohim, shall flourish.
14; They shall bear fruit in old age; they shall be fat and fresh,
15; to declare that YAHWEH is upright, my Rock! And in Him is no evil.
93
1; YAHWEH reigns! He is clothed with majesty; YAHWEH is clothed with strength; He girded Himself; and the world is established; it shall not be shaken.
2; Your throne is established from then; You are from everlasting.
3; The floods have lifted up; O YAHWEH, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods have lifted their roaring waves.
4; YAHWEH on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, than the mighty waves of the sea.
5; Your testimonies are very sure; holiness becomes Your house to length of days, O YAHWEH.
94
1; O, El of vengeance; O YAHWEH El of vengeance, shine forth!
2; Lift up Yourself, O Judge of the earth; give a just recompense on the proud.
3; Until when shall the wicked, O YAHWEH, until when shall the wicked exult?
4; They sputter, they speak impudent things; all the workers of evil speak proudly.
5; O YAHWEH, they crush Your people and afflict Your inheritance.
6; They kill the widow and the stranger, and murder the orphan.
7; Yet they say, YAHWEH shall not see, nor shall the Elohim of Jacob observe.
8; Understand you beastly ones among the people; yea, you fools, when will you be wise?
9; He who planted the ear, shall He not hear? He who formed the eye, shall He not see?
10; He who chastises the nations, shall He not punish, He who teaches man knowledge?
11; YAHWEH knows the thoughts of man, that they are vain.
12; Blessed is the man You chasten, O Yah, You teach him out of Your Torah;
13; to give him rest from troubled days, until the pit is dug for the wicked.
14; For YAHWEH will not leave His people; nor will He forsake His inheritance.
15; For judgment shall turn to righteousness; and all the upright in heart shall follow after it.
16; Who will rise up for Me against the evildoers? Who will stand up for Me against the workers of evil?
17; Unless YAHWEH had been my help, my soul would almost have dwelt in silence.
18; If I said, My foot slides, O YAHWEH, Your mercy has held me up.
19; In the multitude of my inward thoughts, Your comforts delight my soul.
20; Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with You, forming mischief for a statute?
21; They crowd themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the blood of the innocent.
22; But YAHWEH is my tower of defense; and my Elohim is the rock of my refuge.
23; And He shall turn their own iniquity upon them; and He shall destroy them in their own evil, YAHWEH our Elohim shall cut them off!
95
1; O come, let us sing to YAHWEH; let us shout to the Rock of our salvation (Yâshua).
2; Let us come before His face with praise; let us shout for joy to Him with songs.
3; For YAHWEH is a great El, and a great King above all elohim.
4; The deep places of the earth are in His hand; the summits of the mountains also are His.
5; The sea is His, and He made it, and His hands formed the dry land.
6; O come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before YAHWEH our Maker.
7; For He is our Elohim; and we are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His hand. Today, if you will hear His voice,
8; do not harden your heart as in the day of strife, as in the day of testing in the wilderness.
9; When your fathers tried Me, they tested Me and they saw My work.
10; For forty years I was disgusted with that generation; and I said, They are a people who err in heart; and they do not know My ways,
11; to whom I swore in My anger, They shall not enter into My rest.
96
1; O sing to YAHWEH a new song; sing to YAHWEH, all the earth.
2; Sing to YAHWEH; bless His name, bear news of His salvation (Yâshua) day by day.
3; Tell of His glory among the nations, His wonders among all people.
4; For YAHWEH is great and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods.
5; For all the gods of the peoples are idols; but YAHWEH made the heavens.
6; Honor and majesty are before Him; strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.
7; Give to YAHWEH, O families of the people; give to YAHWEH glory and might.
8; Give to YAHWEH the glory due His name; bring an offering and come into His courts.
9; Oh worship YAHWEH in the beauty of holiness; tremble before Him, all the earth.
10; Say among the nations, YAHWEH reigns; and, The world shall be established, it shall not be moved; He shall judge the peoples in uprightness.
11; Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and the fullness of it.
12; Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it; then the trees of the forest shall rejoice
13; before YAHWEH; for He comes; for He comes to judge the earth; He shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with His truth.
