I will praise you within the congregation.

23 All who fear Yahweh, praise him!

All you descendants of Jacob, glorify him!

Stand in awe of him, all you descendants of Israel.

24 Yahweh has not despised or been disgusted with the plight of the oppressed one.

He has not hidden his face from that person.

Yahweh heard when that oppressed person cried out to him for help.

I will fulfill my vows in the presence of those who fear Yahweh.

26 Oppressed people will eat until they are full.

Those who look to Yahweh will praise him.

May you live forever.

27 All the ends of the earth will remember and return to Yahweh.

All the families from all the nations will worship you 28 because the kingdom belongs to Yahweh and he rules the nations.

29 All prosperous people on earth will eat and worship.

All those who go down to the dust will kneel in front of him, even those who are barely alive.

30 There will be descendants who serve him, a generation that will be told about Adonay .

31 They will tell people yet to be born about his righteousness- that he has finished it.

Psalm 23 A psalm by David.

3 He renews my soul.

He guides me along the paths of righteousness for the sake of his name.

4 Even though I walk through the dark valley of death, because you are with me, I fear no harm.

Your rod and your staff give me courage.

5 You prepare a banquet for me while my enemies watch.

You anoint my head with oil.

My cup overflows.

6 Certainly, goodness and mercy will stay close to me all the days of my life, and I will remain in Yahweh's house for days without end.

Psalm 24 A psalm by David.

The world and all who live in it are his.

2 He laid its foundation on the seas and set it firmly on the rivers.

Who may stand in his holy place?

4 The one who has clean hands and a pure heart and does not long for what is falsea or lie when he is under oath.

5 This person will receive a blessing from Yahweh and righteousness from Elohim, his savior.

6 This is the person who seeks him, who searches for the face of the El of Jacob.b Selah 7 Lift your heads, you gates.

Yahweh , heroic in battle!

They have existed from eternity.

That is why he teaches sinners the way they should live.

9 He leads humble people to do what is right, and he teaches them his way.

10 Every path of Yahweh is one of mercy and truth for those who cling to his promised and written instructions.

11 For the sake of your name, O Yahweh, remove my guilt, because it is great.

12 Who, then, is this person that fears Yahweh?

He is the one whom Yahweh will teach which path to choose.

13 He will enjoy good things in life, and his descendants will inherit the land.

14 Yahweh advises those who fear him.

He reveals to them the intent of his promise.

He removes my feet from traps.

17 Relieve my troubled heart, and bring me out of my distress.

18 Look at my misery and suffering, and forgive all my sins.

19 See how my enemies have increased in number, how they have hated me with vicious hatred!

20 Protect my life, and rescue me!

Do not let me be put to shame.

I have taken refuge in you.

21 Integrity and honesty will protect me because I wait for you.

22 Rescue Israel, O Elohim , from all its troubles!

2 Examine me, O Yahweh, and test me.

Look closely into my heart and mind.

3 I see your mercy in front of me.

I walk in the light of your truth.

4 I did not sit with liars, and I will not be found among hypocrites.

5 I have hated the mob of evildoers and will not sit with wicked people.

6 I will wash my hands in innocence.

I will walk around your altar, O Yahweh, 7 so that I may loudly sing a hymn of thanksgiving and tell about all your miracles.

8 O Yahweh, I love the house where you live, the place where your glory dwells.

9 Do not sweep away my soul along with hardened sinners or my life along with bloodthirsty people.

10 Evil schemes are in their hands.

Their right hands are full of bribes.

11 But I walk with integrity.

Rescue me, and have pity on me.

12 My feet stand on level ground.
