Psalms · Chapter 15
𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), who shall abide in thy mishkan? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.
He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.
In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
He that sweareth to
his own hurt, and changeth not.
He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these
things shall never be moved.

Tehillim16
Psalms · Chapter 16
Preserve me, O Elohim: for in thee do I put my trust.
O my nephesh, thou hast said unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), Thou
art
my master: my goodness
extendeth not to thee;
But to the saints that
are in the earth, and
to the excellent, in whom
is all my delight.
Their sorrows shall be multiplied
that hasten
after
another
elohim: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH)
is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant
places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
I will bless 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
I have set 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) always before me: because
he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
For thou wilt not leave my nephesh in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence
is fulness of joy; at thy right hand
there are pleasures for evermore.

Tehillim17
Psalms · Chapter 17
Hear the right, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer,
that goeth not out of feigned lips.
Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.
Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited
me in the night; thou hast tried me,
and shalt find nothing; I am purposed
that my mouth shall not transgress.
Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept
me from the paths of the destroyer.
Hold up my goings in thy paths,
that my footsteps slip not.
I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O Elohim: incline thine ear unto me,
and hear my speech.
Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust
in thee from those that rise up
against them.
Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
From the wicked that oppress me,
from my deadly enemies,
who compass me about.
They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
Like as a lion
that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
Arise, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my nephesh from the wicked,
which is thy sword:
From men
which are thy hand, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), from men of the world,
which have their portion in
this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid
treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their
substance to their babes.
As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
