Psalm 51

1

Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.

Aching of vice, king contacts God: don't curse my soul, dear Lord, it's tortured; soothe thou my aching soul; don't even remember my petty sinning.

2

Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

I'm immensely changed from sinful ways on my throne. I quit harem.

3

For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.

I now ever see in front of me, as blame, my sorry degrading sickness.

4

Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.

The deep sin-hole! I'm not going to try and whitewash these base, unjust deeds; the sick, the naughty, the evil, and the unjustifiable things that I have done.

5

Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

In birth I indicated passion. Ah, even in mommy I showed delinquency.

6

Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.

Ah, when the Lord that nurtured me looketh down inside me, I'd best worship him, not that stupid, dark Satan.

7

Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

Oh, when my head's asperged with new balm, ablution helps halt carnal sin wishes.

8

Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

I ached. My joints? Just shambles! Ah, he can renew and hook them together to bear okay.

9

Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

Hey, I'm amoral, and I'll quit my sin if thou findest it obscene.

10

Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

Ah, remain great with wisdom. Hate retired, regain innocent place.

11

Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

My Lord, thy affection maketh me happy. Can it not treat men's sorrow? Yes!

12

Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

The Lord's truth's what I'm so very happy to meditate on in the journey of life.

13

Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.

Thy servants shall bind Satan. Enlightened slayer rues sorrow, connects with thee.

14

Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

Foul human sin! If it's in vogue, let me go do my moral duty based on God. Lord everlasting, I shall go shout of thy goodness.

15

O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.

Hey, my Lord will help to destroy that harsh human of pompous sin.

16

For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.

If I go with heart set true to the Lord, it's virtuous. No insincere self-deceit; no bluffing God!

17

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

Pride's a true poison of darkness. Await to check it at the Lord's door before going in. He can't bear it.

18

Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.

Godly tune: "The Soul of Talmud Zeal - Proud be Glorious Jewish Nationhood!"

19

Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.

The best of our clean sheep, perfect unhurt cows, and fat fowl shall be brought in nightly before the Lord's fire for killing; then he shuns us not; we attain his faith.

Psalm 8

1

O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

He ruleth over all existence, he who hath not any rival! so the world, the moon, the stars gladly obey.

2

Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

Thou hast taken our children and thou hast given gifts unto them to defend us; by heroic statement those mightiest, huge, mean foes shall be beaten.

3

When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

Check out what God's word hath hewn so far, shiny in the ether. The reason: his very deft hands in motion.

4

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

O, that man's with hurt this moment; thus I've had that most fond human affiliation.

5

For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

Thy thrill, a man and woman! The highest creation thou hast formed in the whole world: a grand soul!

6

Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:

This human son stood with haughty demeanor; he thrived, his mouth full of that red venison top steak.

7

All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;

He easily expands a fold on the land, eats the beef.

8

The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

He hunteth feathered feasts, he hath angled off of rivers; Oh wow! is that hash? Pass the potatoes!

9

O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

And a world chorus extolleth their only eternal Elohim.
