PSALMS
Psalms 21
1 The king rejoices in your strength, LORD! How greatly he rejoices in your yeshu`ah!
2 You have given him his heart's desire, And have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah.
3 For you meet him with the blessings of goodness; You set a crown of fine gold on his head.
4 He asked life of you, you gave it to him, Even length of days forever and ever.
5 His glory is great in your salvation. You lay honor and majesty on him.
6 For you make him most blessed forever. You make him glad with joy in your presence.
7 For the king trusts in the LORD. Through the lovingkindness of Ha`Elyon, he shall not be moved.
8 Your hand will find out all of your enemies. Your right hand will find out those who hate you.
9 You will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger. The LORD will swallow them up in his wrath. The fire shall devour them.
10 You will destroy their descendants from the eretz, Their posterity from among the children of men.
11 For they intended evil against you. They plotted evil against you which cannot succeed.
12 For you will make them turn their back, When you aim drawn bows at their face.
13 Be exalted, LORD, in your strength, So we will sing and praise your power.
Psalms 51
1 Have mercy on me, God, according to your lovingkindness. According to the multitude of your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity. Cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I know my transgressions. My sin is constantly before me.
4 Against you, and you only, have I sinned, And done that which is evil in your sight; That you may be proved right when you speak, And justified when you judge.
5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity. In sin did my mother conceive me.
6 Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts. You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.
7 Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean. Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
8 Let me hear joy and gladness, That the bones which you have broken may rejoice.
9 Hide your face from my sins, And blot out all of my iniquities.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me.
11 Don't throw me from your presence, And don't take your holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation. Uphold me with a willing spirit.
13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways. Sinners shall be converted to you.
14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation. My tongue shall sing aloud of your righteousness.
15 Lord, open my lips. My mouth shall declare your praise.
16 For you don't delight in sacrifice, or else I would give it. You have no pleasure in burnt offering.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. A broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
18 Do well in your good pleasure to Tziyon. Build the walls of Yerushalayim.
19 Then will you delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, In burnt offerings and in whole burnt offerings. Then they will offer bulls on your altar.
Psalms 81
1 Sing aloud to God, our strength! Make a joyful noise to the God of Ya`akov!
2 Raise a song, and bring here the tambourine, The pleasant lyre with the harp.
3 Blow the shofar at the New Moon, At the full moon, on our feast day.
4 For it is a statute for Yisra'el, An ordinance of the God of Ya`akov.
5 He appointed it in Yosef for a testimony, When he went out over the land of Mitzrayim, I heard a language that I didn't know.
6 "I removed his shoulder from the burden. His hands were freed from the basket.
7 You called in trouble, and I delivered you. I answered you in the secret place of thunder. I tested you at the waters of Merivah." Selah.
8 "Hear, my people, and I will testify to you. Yisra'el, if you would listen to me!
9 There shall be no strange god in you, Neither shall you worship any foreign god.
10 I am the LORD, your God, Who brought you up out of the land of Mitzrayim. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
11 But my people didn't listen to my voice. Yisra'el desired none of me.
12 So I let them go after the stubbornness of their hearts, That they might walk in their own counsels.
13 Oh that my people would listen to me, That Yisra'el would walk in my ways!
14 I would soon subdue their enemies, And turn my hand against their adversaries.
15 The haters of the LORD would cringe before him, And their punishment would last forever.
16 But he would have also fed them with the finest of the wheat. I will satisfy you with honey out of the rock."
Psalms 111
1 Praise the LORD! I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart, In the council of the upright, and in the congregation.
2 The works of the LORD are great, Pondered by all those who delight in them.
3 His work is honor and majesty. His righteousness endures forever.
4 He has caused his wonderful works to be remembered. The LORD is gracious and merciful.
5 He has given food to those who fear him. He always remembers his covenant.
6 He has shown his people the power of his works, In giving them the heritage of the nations.
7 The works of his hands are truth and justice. All his precepts are sure.
8 They are established forever and ever. They are done in truth and uprightness.
9 He has sent redemption to his people. He has ordained his covenant forever. His name is holy and awesome!
10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom. All those who do his work have a good understanding. His praise endures forever!
Psalms 141
1 LORD, I have called on you. Come to me quickly! Listen to my voice when I call to you.
2 Let my prayer be set before you like incense; The lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice.
3 Set a watch, LORD, before my mouth. Keep the door of my lips.
4 Don't incline my heart to any evil thing, To practice deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity. Don't let me eat of their delicacies.
5 Let the righteous strike me, it is kindness; Let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head; Don't let my head refuse it; Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds.
6 Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock. They will hear my words, for they are well spoken.
7 "As when one plows and breaks up the eretz, Our bones are scattered at the mouth of She'ol."
8 For my eyes are on you, LORD, the Lord. In you, I take refuge. Don't leave my soul destitute.
9 Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, From the traps of the workers of iniquity.
10 Let the wicked fall together into their own nets, While I pass by.
PROVERBS
Proverbs 21
1 The king's heart is in the LORD's hand like the watercourses. He turns it wherever he desires.
2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, But the LORD weighs the hearts.
3 To do righteousness and justice Is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.
4 A high look, and a proud heart, The lamp of the wicked, is sin.
5 The plans of the diligent surely lead to profit; And everyone who is hasty surely rushes to poverty.
6 Getting treasures by a lying tongue Is a fleeting vapor for those who seek death.
7 The violence of the wicked will drive them away, Because they refuse to do what is right.
8 The way of the guilty is devious, But the conduct of the innocent is upright.
9 It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, Than to share a house with a contentious woman.
10 The soul of the wicked desires evil; His neighbor finds no mercy in his eyes.
11 When the mocker is punished, the simple gains wisdom; When the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge.
12 The Righteous One considers the house of the wicked, And brings the wicked to ruin.
13 Whoever stops his ears at the cry of the poor, He will also cry out, but shall not be heard.
14 A gift in secret pacifies anger; And a bribe in the cloak, strong wrath.
15 It is joy to the righteous to do justice; But it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.
16 The man who wanders out of the way of understanding Shall rest in the assembly of the dead.
17 He who loves pleasure shall be a poor man: He who loves wine and oil shall not be rich.
18 The wicked is a ransom for the righteous; The treacherous for the upright.
19 It is better to dwell in a desert land, Than with a contentious and fretful woman.
20 There is precious treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise; But a foolish man swallows it up.
21 He who follows after righteousness and kindness Finds life, righteousness, and honor.
22 A wise man scales the city of the mighty, And brings down the strength of its confidence.
23 Whoever guards his mouth and his tongue Keeps his soul from troubles.
24 The proud and haughty man, "scoffer" is his name; He works in the arrogance of pride.
25 The desire of the sluggard kills him, For his hands refuse to labor.
26 There are those who covet greedily all the day long; But the righteous gives and doesn't withhold.
27 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination: How much more, when he brings it with a wicked mind!
28 A false witness will perish, And a man who listens speaks to eternity.
29 A wicked man hardens his face; But as for the upright, he establishes his ways.
30 There is no wisdom nor understanding Nor counsel against the LORD.
31 The horse is prepared for the day of battle; But victory is with the LORD.
