Great
is 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), and greatly to be praised in the city of our Elohim,
in the mountain of his holiness.
Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth,
is mount Tsiyon,
on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
Elohim is known in her palaces for a refuge.
For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.
They saw
it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled,
and hasted away.
Fear took hold upon them there,
and pain, as of a woman in travail.
Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.
As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts, in the city of our Elohim: Elohim will establish it for ever. Selah.
We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O Elohim, in the midst of thy heikhal.
According to thy name, O Elohim, so
is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.
Let mount Tsiyon rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.
Walk about Tsiyon, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof.
Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell
it to the generation following.
For this Elohim
is our Elohim for ever and ever: he will be our guide
even unto death.

Tehillim49
Psalms · Chapter 49
Hear this, all
ye people; give ear, all
ye inhabitants of the world:
Both low and high, rich and poor, together.
My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart
shall be of understanding.
I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.
Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil,
when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?
They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
None
of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to Elohim a ransom for him:
(For the redemption of their nephesh
is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:)
That he should still live for ever,
and not see corruption.
For he seeth
that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.
Their inward thought
is, that their houses
shall continue for ever,
and their dwelling places to all generations; they call
their lands after their own names.
Nevertheless man
being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts
that perish.
This their way
is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.
Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling.
But Elohim will redeem my nephesh from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah.
Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;
For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.
Though while he lived he blessed his nephesh: and
men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.
He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.
Man
that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts
that perish.

Psalms · Chapter 50
The mighty Elohim,
even 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.
Out of Tsiyon, the perfection of beauty, Elohim hath shined.
Our Elohim shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.
He shall call to the shamayim from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people.
Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a b'rit with me by sacrifice.
And the shamayim shall declare his righteousness: for Elohim
is
judge himself. Selah.
Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Yisra'el, and I will testify against thee: I
am Elohim,
even thy Elohim.
I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings,
to have been continually before me.
I will take no bullock out of thy house,
nor he goats out of thy folds.
For every beast of the forest
is mine,
and the cattle upon a thousand hills.
I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field
are mine.
If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world
is
mine, and the fulness thereof.
Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
Offer unto Elohim thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:
And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
But unto the wicked Elohim saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or
that thou shouldest take my b'rit in thy mouth?
Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee.
When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.
Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.
Thou sittest
and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother’s son.
These
things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether
such an one as thyself:
but
I will reprove thee, and set
them in order before thine eyes.
Now consider this, ye that forget Elohim, lest I tear
you in pieces, and
there be none to deliver.
Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth
his conversation
aright will I shew the salvation of Elohim.
