Ketuvim
Tehillim56
Psalms · Chapter 56
Be merciful unto me, O Elohim: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.
Mine enemies would daily swallow
me up: for
they be
many that fight against me, O thou most High.
What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
In Elohim I will praise his word, in Elohim I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.
Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts
are against me for evil.
They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my nephesh.
Shall they escape by iniquity? in
thine anger cast down the people, O Elohim.
Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle:
are they not in thy book?
When I cry
unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for Elohim
is for me.
In Elohim will I praise
his word: in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) will I praise
his word.
In Elohim have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.
Thy vows
are upon me, O Elohim: I will render praises unto thee.
For thou hast delivered my nephesh from death:
wilt not
thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before Elohim in the light of the living?

Psalms · Chapter 57
Be merciful unto me, O Elohim, be merciful unto me: for my nephesh trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until
these
calamities be overpast.
I will cry unto Elohim most high; unto Elohim that performeth
all things
for me.
He shall send from shamayim, and save
from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. Elohim shall send forth his mercy and his truth.
My nephesh
is among lions:
and I lie
even among
them that are set on fire,
even the sons of men, whose teeth
are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
Be thou exalted, O Elohim, above the shamayim;
let thy glory
be above all the earth.
They have prepared a net for my steps; my nephesh is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen
themselves.
Selah.
My heart is fixed, O Elohim, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.
Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I
myself will awake early.
I will praise thee, O master, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations.
For thy mercy is great unto the shamayim, and thy truth unto the clouds.
Be thou exalted, O Elohim, above the shamayim:
let thy glory
be above all the earth.

Tehillim58
Psalms · Chapter 58
Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
Their poison
is like the poison of a serpent:
they are
like the deaf adder
that stoppeth her ear;
Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
Break their teeth, O Elohim, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
Let them melt away as waters
which run continually:
when
he bendeth
his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.
As a snail
which melteth, let
every one of them
pass away:
like the untimely birth of a woman,
that
they may not see the sun.
Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in
his wrath.
The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
So that a man shall say, Verily
there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a Elohim that judgeth in the earth.
