¹ Praise ye Jah! O the happiness of one fearing Jehovah, In His commands he hath delighted greatly.

¹ A Song of the Ascents. O the happiness of every one fearing Jehovah, Who is walking in His ways.

¹⁶ In Thy statutes I delight myself, I do not forget Thy word.

¹⁰ The beginning of wisdom `is' fear of Jehovah, Good understanding have all doing them, His praise `is' standing for ever!

¹¹ Kings of earth, and all peoples, Chiefs, and all judges of earth,

¹² Young men, and also maidens, Aged men, with youths,

¹³ They praise the name of Jehovah, For His name alone hath been set on high, His honour `is' above earth and heavens.

¹⁴ And He exalteth the horn of His people, The praise of all His saints, Of the sons of Israel, a people near Him. Praise ye Jah!

¹ Praise ye Jah! Praise ye God in His holy place, Praise Him in the expanse of His strength.

¹⁰ Who `is' among you, fearing Jehovah, Hearkening to the voice of His servant, That hath walked in dark places, And there is no brightness for him? Let him trust in the name of Jehovah, And lean upon his God.

⁵⁰ And His kindness `is' to generations of generations, To those fearing Him,

²² for I delight in the law of God according to the inward man,

⁶ for the mind of the flesh `is' death, and the mind of the Spirit -- life and peace;

¹ Praise ye Jah! For `it is' good to praise our God, For pleasant -- comely `is' praise.

¹⁹ The desire of those fearing Him He doth, And their cry He heareth, and saveth them.

¹⁴³ Adversity and distress have found me, Thy commands `are' my delights.

¹ O the happiness of that one, who Hath not walked in the counsel of the wicked. And in the way of sinners hath not stood, And in the seat of scorners hath not sat;

² But -- in the law of Jehovah `is' his delight, And in His law he doth meditate by day and by night:

⁸ To do Thy pleasure, my God, I have delighted, And Thy law `is' within my heart.

⁷ Their hands, but they handle not, Their feet, and they walk not;

⁸ Nor do they mutter through their throat, Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.

⁹ O Israel, trust in Jehovah, `Their help and their shield `is' He.'

¹⁰ O house of Aaron, trust in Jehovah, `Their help and their shield `is' He.'

¹¹ Ye fearing Jehovah, trust in Jehovah, `Their help and their shield `is' He.'

¹² Jehovah hath remembered us, He blesseth, He blesseth the house of Israel, He blesseth the house of Aaron,

¹³ He blesseth those fearing Jehovah, The small with the great.

¹⁴ In the way of Thy testimonies I have joyed, As over all wealth.

³⁵ Cause me to tread in the path of Thy commands, For in it I have delighted.

⁴⁷ And I delight myself in Thy commands, That I have loved,

⁴⁸ And I lift up my hands unto Thy commands, That I have loved, And I do meditate on Thy statutes!

⁷⁰ Insensate as fat hath been their heart, I -- in Thy law I have delighted.

⁷¹ Good for me that I have been afflicted, That I might learn Thy statutes.

⁷² Better to me `is' the law of Thy mouth Than thousands of gold and silver!

⁹⁷ `Mem.' O how I have loved Thy law! All the day it `is' my meditation.

¹ Praise ye Jah! I thank Jehovah with the whole heart, In the secret meeting of the upright, And of the company.
