^[a]1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked,
Nor standeth in the way of sinners,
Nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers:
² But his delight is in the law of Jehovah;
And on his law doth he meditate day and night.
³ And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water,
That bringeth forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also doth not wither;
And ^[b]whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
⁴ The wicked are not so,
But are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
⁵ Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
⁶ For Jehovah knoweth the way of the righteous;
But the way of the wicked shall perish.

13 How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou forget me for ever?
How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
² How long shall I take counsel in my soul,
Having sorrow in my heart all the day?
How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
³ Consider and answer me, O Jehovah my God:
Lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
⁴ Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him;
Lest mine adversaries rejoice when I am moved.
⁵ But I have trusted in thy lovingkindness;
My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
⁶ I will sing unto Jehovah,
Because he hath dealt bountifully with me.

14 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.
They are corrupt, they have done abominable works;
There is none that doeth good.
² Jehovah looked down from heaven upon the children of men,
To see if there were any that did ^[a]understand,
That did seek after God.
³ They are all gone aside; they are together become filthy;
There is none that doeth good, no, not one.
⁴ Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge,
Who eat up my people as they eat bread,
And call not upon Jehovah?
⁵ There were they in great fear;
For God is in the generation of the righteous.
⁶ Ye put to shame the counsel of the poor,
^[b]Because Jehovah is his refuge.
⁷ Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion!
When Jehovah ^[c]bringeth back the captivity of his people,
Then shall Jacob rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

15 Jehovah, who shall sojourn in thy ^[d]tabernacle?
Who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
² He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness,
And speaketh truth in his heart;
^3 [e]He that slandereth not with his tongue,
Nor doeth evil to his friend,
Nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbor;
⁴ In ^[f]whose eyes a reprobate is despised,
But ^[g]who honoreth them that fear Jehovah;
^[h]He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not;
^5 [i]He that putteth not out his money to interest,
Nor taketh reward against the innocent.
He that doeth these things shall never be moved.
