PSALM 40





YHVH (YEHOVAH) lifted me out of the pit of death,
    out of the mud and filth, and 
He set my feet on solid rock.
        He steadied my legs.

YHVH (YEHOVAH) put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise for our Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH) KING of GLORY!


Many people will see of this and be amazed;
    they will trust the Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH) KING OF GLORY.


Blessed is  who put their trust in the Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH) KING OF GLORY.
    who pay no attention to the proud
    or to those who follow lies,
    are truly happy!



You, YHVH (YEHOVAH) my ALMIGHTY!
    You’ve done so many things
    your wonderful deeds and your plans for me

        no one can compare with You!

 If I were to proclaim and 
talk about all of them, 
they would be too numerous 
to count!


You don’t relish sacrifices or offerings;
You don’t require entirely burned offerings or compensation offerings
    but you have given me ears!

So I said
Here I come!
    I’m inscribed in the written scroll.
 I want to do your will, 
my Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH)

    Your Instruction is deep within 
my heart”

 I’ve told the good news 
of Your righteousness
    in the great assembly.
    I didn’t hold anything back

        as You well know, 
YHVH (YEHOVAH) Almighty!


I didn’t keep your righteousness
 only to myself.
    I declared your faithfulness 
and your salvation.
I didn’t hide your loyal love 
and trustworthiness
    from the great assembly.


So now You, 
Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH)    
don’t hold back any 
of your compassion from me.
Let your loyal love and faithfulness 
always protect me!

Because countless evils surround me.
My wrongdoings have caught up with me
    I can’t see a thing!
There’s more of them than hairs on my head
    my courage leaves me.
Favor me, YHVH (YEHOVAH)
  and deliver me!
YHVH (YEHOVAH), come quickly 
  and help me!
Let those who seek my life, 
 who want me   dead, 
 be disgraced and put to shame.
Let those who want to do me harm
 be thoroughly frustrated and humiliated.
Let those who say to me, 
“Yes! Oh, yes!(Psalm 35:21-25)
 be destroyed by their shame!

But let all who seek you
    celebrate and rejoice in you.
Let those who love your salvation always say,
    “The Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH) 
is great!

But me? 
I’m poor and needy.
Let my Lord (Jesus of Nazareth) think of me.
You are my help and my rescuer.
   
 My Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH),
 don’t wait any longer!

PSALM 2

Why do the nations rage,     and the peoples plot in vain? (Acts 4:24-28) The kings of the earth set themselves,     and the rulers take counsel together, against the Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH)  and against His Anointed , saying, “Let us tear off their bonds     and cast away their ropes from us.” YHVH (YEHOVAH) Almighty  who sits in the heavens laughs;     the Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH)  ridicules them. Then YHVH (YEHOVAH)   will speak to them in His wrath     and terrify them in His burning anger :  “I have installed My KING     on Zion, My Holy hill” ******* I will declare the decree of  the Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH) : YHVH (YEHOVAH) Almighty said to me,  “ You are My son ;     this day have I begotten you. (Matthew 3:17/Mark 1:11/Luke 3:22) Ask of Me ,     and I will give you the nations  for y...

PSALMS 3

A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. KING YHVH (YEHOVAH),  how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me. Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in Almighty! But You, O KING, are a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head! I cried unto the KING YHVH (YEHOVAH)  with my voice , and HE heard me out of his Holy hill .  I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH) sustained me .   I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against  me roundabout . Arise, O KING YHVH (YEHOVAH); save me, O my Almighty : for You hast smitten all mine enemies upon  the cheek bone; You has broken the teeth of the ungodly . Salvation belongeth unto  the ALMIGHTY YHVH (YEHOVAH): Your blessing is upon your people!  Psalms 3
