መዝሙረ ዳዊት (Book of Psalms — Ge'ez Manuscript)

Judge for the needy and for the fatherless, and in righteousness,
So that the children of man may not repeat evil upon the earth.
For the safety of Kimon and Adasasa. Historical or liturgical reference to specific places or individuals. 10.

In the Lord I have put my trust; how do you say to my soul,
Flee to the mountains like a bird?
For behold, the wicked have bent their bow.
And have prepared their arrows in their quivers,
So that they may shoot those who are upright of heart in the dark.
For the things that you have established, they have torn down.
And what has the righteous done?
The Lord is in his holy temple.
The Lord is in the heavens his throne.
And his eyes look toward the needy.
And his eyelids test the children of man.
The Lord tests the righteous and the wicked.
But he who loves wickedness hates his own soul.
He shall rain snares upon the wicked, fire,
Fire and brimstone and a stormy wind, the portion of their cup.
For the Lord is righteous and has loved righteousness.
And uprightness his face beholds.
