Psalms · Chapter 34
I will bless 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) at all times: his praise
shall continually
be in my mouth.
My nephesh shall make her boast in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH): the humble shall hear
thereof, and be glad.
O magnify 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) with me, and let us exalt his name together.
I sought 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.
This poor man cried, and 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) heard
him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
The mal'akh of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
O taste and see that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH)
is good: blessed
is
the man
that trusteth in him.
O fear 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), ye his saints: for
there is no want to them that fear him.
The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) shall not want any good
thing.
Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
What man
is he that desireth life,
and loveth
many days, that he may see good?
Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
The eyes of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH)
are upon the righteous, and his ears
are open unto their cry.
The face of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH)
is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
The righteous cry, and 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH)
is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
Many
are the afflictions of the righteous: but 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) delivereth him out of them all.
He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.
𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) redeemeth the nephesh of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.

Tehillim35
Psalms · Chapter 35
Plead
my cause, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.
Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.
Draw out also the spear, and stop
the way against them that persecute me: say unto my nephesh, I
am thy salvation.
Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my nephesh: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.
Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the mal'akh of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) chase
them.
Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the mal'akh of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) persecute them.
For without cause have they hid for me their net
in a pit,
which without cause they have digged for my nephesh.
Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.
And my nephesh shall be joyful in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH): it shall rejoice in his salvation.
All my bones shall say, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), who
is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?
False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge
things
that I knew not.
They rewarded me evil for good
to the spoiling of my nephesh.
But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing
was sackcloth: I humbled my nephesh with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.
I behaved myself as though
he had been my friend
or
brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth
for his
mother.
But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together:
yea, the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew
it not; they did tear
me, and ceased not:
With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
master, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my nephesh from their destructions, my darling from the lions.
I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people.
Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me:
neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.
For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against
them that are quiet in the land.
Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me,
and said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen
it.
This thou hast seen, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH): keep not silence: O master, be not far from me.
Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment,
even unto my cause, my Elohim and my master.
Judge me, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) my Elohim, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.
Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify
themselves against me.
Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness
and of thy praise all the day long.

Tehillim36
Psalms · Chapter 36
The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart,
that there is no fear of Elohim before his eyes.
For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.
The words of his mouth
are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise,
and to do good.
He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way
that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.
Thy mercy, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH),
is in the shamayim;
and thy faithfulness
reacheth unto the clouds.
Thy righteousness
is like the great mountains; thy judgments
are a great deep: O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), thou preservest man and beast.
How excellent
is thy lovingkindness, O Elohim! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.
They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.
For with thee
is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.
O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.
Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.
There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.
