⁴ Blessed is the man who makes Yahweh his trust, And doesn't respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

⁵ But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways, Yahweh will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be on Israel.

⁸ Oh taste and see that Yahweh is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

⁸ It is better to take refuge in Yahweh, Than to put confidence in man.

⁹ It is better to take refuge in Yahweh, Than to put confidence in princes.

¹² Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, For his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.

⁹ even he whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

¹⁰ and with all deception of wickedness for those who are being lost, because they didn't receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

¹¹ Because of this, God sends them a working of error, that they should believe a lie;

¹² Again, Isaiah says, "There will be the root of Jesse, He who arises to rule over the Gentiles; On him will the Gentiles hope."

¹³ Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Spirit.

⁸ Those who regard lying vanities forsake their own mercy.

⁷ Blessed is the man who trusts in Yahweh, and whose trust Yahweh is.

⁸ For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, who spreads out its roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat comes, but its leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

¹⁴ Every man is become brutish [and is] without knowledge; every goldsmith is disappointed by his engraved image; for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.

¹⁵ They are vanity, a work of delusion: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.

¹⁸ They don't know, neither do they consider: for he has shut their eyes, that they can't see; and their hearts, that they can't understand.

¹⁹ None calls to mind, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yes, also I have baked bread on the coals of it; I have roasted flesh and eaten it: and shall I make the residue of it an abomination? shall I fall down to the stock of a tree?

²⁰ He feeds on ashes; a deceived heart has turned him aside; and he can't deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?

²¹ You have rebuked the proud who are cursed, Who wander from your commandments.

³ I will set no vile thing before my eyes. I hate the deeds of faithless men. They will not cling to me.

⁴ A perverse heart will be far from me. I will have nothing to do with evil.

⁵ I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I won't tolerate one who is haughty and conceited.

⁶ My eyes will be on the faithful of the land, That they may dwell with me. He who walks in a perfect way, He will serve me.

⁷ He who practices deceit won't dwell within my house. He who speaks falsehood won't be established before my eyes.

¹¹ For Yahweh God is a sun and a shield. Yahweh will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.

¹² Yahweh of Hosts, Blessed is the man who trusts in you.

⁴ In whose eyes a vile man is despised, But who honors those who fear Yahweh; He who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn't change;
