O the happiness of the man Who hath made Jehovah his trust, And hath not turned unto the proud, And those turning aside to lies.
Thou hast rebuked the cursed proud, Who are erring from Thy commands.
As to those turning `to' their crooked ways, Jehovah causeth them to go with workers of iniquity. Peace on Israel!
Despised in his eyes `is' a rejected one, And those fearing Jehovah he doth honour. He hath sworn to suffer evil, and changeth not;
Kiss the Chosen One, lest He be angry, And ye lose the way, When His anger burneth but a little, O the happiness of all trusting in Him!
Sing ye to Him a new song, Play skilfully with shouting.
Taste ye and see that Jehovah `is' good, O the happiness of the man who trusteth in Him.
By Thee I have been supported from the womb, From my mother's bowels Thou dost cut me out, In Thee `is' my praise continually.
Those observing lying vanities their own mercy forsake.
