Ketuvim
Tehillim53
Psalms · Chapter 53
The fool hath said in his heart,
There is no Elohim. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity:
there is none that doeth good.
Elohim looked down from shamayim upon the children of men, to see if there were
any that did understand, that did seek Elohim.
Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy;
there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people
as they eat bread: they have not called upon Elohim.
There were they in great fear,
where no fear was: for Elohim hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth
against thee: thou hast put
them to shame, because Elohim hath despised them.
Oh that the salvation of Yisra'el
were come out of Tsiyon! When Elohim bringeth back the captivity of his people, Ya'aqov shall rejoice,
and
Yisra'el shall be glad.

Tehillim54
Psalms · Chapter 54
Save me, O Elohim, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.
Hear my prayer, O Elohim; give ear to the words of my mouth.
For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my nephesh: they have not set Elohim before them. Selah.
Behold, Elohim
is mine helper: the master
is with them that uphold my nephesh.
He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.
I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH); for
it is good.
For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen
his desire upon mine enemies.

Tehillim55
Psalms · Chapter 55
Give ear to my prayer, O Elohim; and hide not thyself from my supplication.
Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;
Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.
My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.
And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove!
for then would I fly away, and be at rest.
Lo,
then would I wander far off,
and remain in the wilderness. Selah.
I would hasten my escape from the windy storm
and tempest.
Destroy, O master,
and divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow
are in the midst of it.
Wickedness
is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.
For
it was not an enemy
that reproached me; then I could have borne
it: neither
was it he that hated me
that did magnify
himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:
But
it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.
We took sweet counsel together,
and walked unto the house of Elohim in company.
Let death seize upon them,
and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings,
and among them.
As for me, I will call upon Elohim; and 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) shall save me.
Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.
He hath delivered my nephesh in peace from the battle
that was
against me: for there were many with me.
Elohim shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not Elohim.
He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he hath broken his b'rit.
The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war
was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet
were
they drawn swords.
Cast thy burden upon 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
But thou, O Elohim, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.
