The Psalms, starting at chapter 1

Psalm 1

{1:1} Blessed is the man who doesn't walk in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stand in the way of sinners,
nor sit in the seat of scoffers;
{1:2} but his delight is in Yahweh's law.
On his law he meditates day and night.
{1:3} He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water,
that brings forth its fruit in its season,
whose leaf also does not wither.
Whatever he does shall prosper.
{1:4} The wicked are not so,
but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
{1:5} Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
{1:6} For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked shall perish.

Psalm 2
{2:1} Why do the nations rage,
and the peoples plot a vain thing?
{2:2} The kings of the earth take a stand,
and the rulers take counsel together,
against Yahweh, and against his [1>]Anointed,[<1] saying,
{2:3} "Let's break their bonds apart,
and cast their cords from us."
{2:4} He who sits in the heavens will laugh.
The Lord will have them in derision.
{2:5} Then he will speak to them in his anger,
and terrify them in his wrath:
{2:6} "Yet I have set my King on my holy hill of Zion."
{2:7} I will tell of the decree.
Yahweh said to me, "You are my son.
Today I have become your father.
{2:8} Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance,
the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.
{2:9} You shall break them with a rod of iron.
You shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel."
{2:10} Now therefore be wise, you kings.
Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
{2:11} Serve Yahweh with fear,
and rejoice with trembling.
{2:12} [2>]Give sincere homage to the Son[<2], 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.

Psalm 3
A Psalm by David, when he fled from Absalom his son.

{3:1} Yahweh, how my adversaries have increased!
Many are those who rise up against me.
{3:2} Many there are who say of my soul,
"There is no help for him in God."
Selah.
{3:3} But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me,
my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
{3:4} I cry to Yahweh with my voice,
and he answers me out of his holy hill.
Selah.
{3:5} I laid myself down and slept.
I awakened; for Yahweh sustains me.
{3:6} I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people
who have set themselves against me on every side.
{3:7} Arise, Yahweh!
Save me, my God!
For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone.
You have broken the teeth of the wicked.
{3:8} Salvation belongs to Yahweh.
Your blessing be on your people.
Selah.
