Psalms · Chapter 21
The king shall joy in thy strength, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH); and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
Thou hast given him his heart’s desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah.
For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head.
He asked life of thee,
and thou gavest
it him,
even length of days for ever and ever.
His glory
is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him.
For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.
For the king trusteth in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.
Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.
Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger: 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.
Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.
For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device,
which they are not able
to perform.
Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back,
when thou shalt make ready
thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them.
Be thou exalted, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), in thine own strength:
so will we sing and praise thy power.

Psalms · Chapter 22
My Elohim, my Elohim, why hast thou forsaken me?
why art thou so
far from helping me,
and from the words of my roaring?
O my Elohim, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.
But thou
art holy,
O thou that inhabitest the praises of Yisra'el.
Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
But I
am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head
saying,
He trusted on 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH)
that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.
But thou
art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope
when I was upon my mother’s breasts.
I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou
art my Elohim from my mother’s belly.
Be not far from me; for trouble
is near; for
there is
none to help.
Many bulls have compassed me: strong
bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
They gaped upon me
with their mouths,
as a ravening and a roaring lion.
I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.
My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: like a lion, my hands and my feet.
I may tell all my bones: they look
and stare upon me.
They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
But be not thou far from me, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH): O my strength, haste thee to help me.
Deliver my nephesh from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.
Save me from the lion’s mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.
I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.
Ye that fear 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), praise him; all ye the seed of Ya'aqov, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Yisra'el.
For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.
My praise
shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.
The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.
All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH): and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
For the kingdom
is 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH)’S: and he
is the governor among the nations.
All
they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own nephesh.
A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the master for a generation.
They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done
this.

Tehillim23
Psalms · Chapter 23
𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH)
is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my nephesh: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou
art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) for ever.
