Tehillim, 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 the law of the LORD;
On his law he meditates day and night.
{1:3} He shall 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 the LORD 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 [1>]eretz[<1] take a stand,
And the rulers take counsel together,
Against the LORD, and against his Messiah, saying,
{2:3} "Let us break their bonds apart,
And cast away 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 Tziyon."
{2:7} I will tell of the decree.
The LORD 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 [2>]eretz[<2] 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 [3>]eretz[<3].
{2:11} Serve the LORD with fear,
And rejoice with trembling.
{2:12} Kiss the son, 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 Avshalom, his son.
{3:1} LORD, 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, LORD, are a shield around me,
My glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
{3:4} I cry to the LORD with my voice,
And he answers me out of his holy hill.
Selah.
{3:5} I laid myself down and slept.
I awakened; for the LORD 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, LORD! 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 the LORD.
Your blessing be on your people.
Selah.
