1 Blessed835 is the man376 that walks1980 not in the counsel6098 of the ungodly,7563 nor3808 stands5975 in the way1870 of sinners,2400 nor3808 sits3427 in the seat4186 of the scornful.3887

2 But his delight2656 is in the law8451 of the LORD;3068 and in his law8451 does he meditate1897 day3119 and night.3915

3 And he shall be like a tree6086 planted8362 by the rivers6388 of water,4325 that brings5414 forth5414 his fruit6529 in his season;6256 his leaf5929 also shall not wither;5034 and whatever3605 834 he does6213 shall prosper.6743

4 The ungodly7563 are not so:3651 but are like the chaff4671 which834 the wind7307 drives5086 away.

5 Therefore5921 3651 the ungodly7563 shall not stand6965 in the judgment,4941 nor sinners2400 in the congregation5712 of the righteous.6662

6 For the LORD3068 knows3045 the way1870 of the righteous:6662 but the way1870 of the ungodly7563 shall perish.6

1 Why4100 do the heathen1471 rage,7283 and the people3816 imagine1897 a vain7385 thing?

2 The kings4428 of the earth776 set3320 themselves, and the rulers7336 take counsel3245 together,3162 against5921 the LORD,3068 and against5921 his anointed,4899 saying,

3 Let us break5423 their bands4147 asunder, and cast7993 away their cords5688 from us.

4 He that sits3427 in the heavens8064 shall laugh:7832 the LORD136 shall have them in derision.3932

5 Then227 shall he speak1696 to them in his wrath,639 and vex926 them in his sore displeasure.2740

6 Yet have I set5258 my king4428 on my holy6944 hill2022 of Zion.6726

7 I will declare5608 the decree:2706 the LORD3068 has said559 to me, You are my Son;1121 this day3117 have I begotten3205 you.

8 Ask7592 of me, and I shall give5415 you the heathen1471 for your inheritance,5159 and the uttermost657 parts of the earth776 for your possession.272

9 You shall break7489 them with a rod7626 of iron;1270 you shall dash5310 them in pieces like a potter's3335 vessel.3627

10 Be wise7919 now6258 therefore, O you kings:4428 be instructed,3256 you judges8199 of the earth.776

11 Serve5647 the LORD3068 with fear,3374 and rejoice1523 with trembling.7460

12 Kiss5401 the Son,1248 lest6435 he be angry,599 and you perish6 from the way,1870 when3588 his wrath639 is kindled1197 but a little.4592 Blessed835 are all3605 they that put their trust2620 in him.

1 A Psalm4210 of David,1732 when he fled1272 from Absalom53 his son.1121 Lord,3068 how4100 are they increased7231 that trouble6862 me! many7227 are they that rise6965 up against5921 me.

2 Many7227 there be which say559 of my soul,5315 There is no369 help3444 for him in God.430 Selah.5542

3 But you, O LORD,3068 are a shield4043 for me; my glory,3519 and the lifter7311 up of my head.7218

4 I cried7121 to the LORD3068 with my voice,6963 and he heard6030 me out of his holy6944 hill.2022 Selah.5542

5 I laid7901 me down7901 and slept;3462 I awaked;6974 for the LORD3068 sustained5564 me.

6 I will not be afraid3372 of ten7233 thousands7233 of people,5971 that have set7896 themselves against5921 me round5439 about.

7 Arise,6965 O LORD;3068 save3467 me, O my God:430 for you have smitten5221 all3605 my enemies341 on the cheek3895 bone; you have broken7665 the teeth8127 of the ungodly.7563

8 Salvation3444 belongs to the LORD:3068 your blessing1293 is on your people.5971 Selah.5542

1 To the chief5329 Musician5329 on Neginoth,5058 A Psalm4210 of David.1732 Hear6030 me when I call,7121 O God430 of my righteousness:6664 you have enlarged7337 me when I was in distress;6862 have mercy2603 on me, and hear8085 my prayer.8605

2 O you sons1121 of men,376 how5704 long5704 will you turn my glory3519 into shame?3639 how long will you love157 vanity,7385 and seek1245 after leasing?3577 Selah.5542

3 But know3045 that the LORD3068 has set6395 apart6395 him that is godly2623 for himself: the LORD3068 will hear8085 when I call7121 to him.

4 Stand in awe,7264 and sin2398 not: commune559 with your own heart3824 on your bed,4904 and be still.1826 Selah.5542

5 Offer2076 the sacrifices2077 of righteousness,6664 and put your trust982 in the LORD.3068

6 There be many7227 that say,559 Who4310 will show7200 us any good?2896 LORD,3068 lift5375 you up the light216 of your countenance6440 on us.

7 You have put5414 gladness8057 in my heart,3820 more than in the time6256 that their corn1715 and their wine8492 increased.7231

8 I will both3162 lay7901 me down7901 in peace,7965 and sleep:3462 for you, LORD,3068 only910 make me dwell3427 in safety.983

1 To the chief5329 Musician5329 upon Nehiloth,5155 A Psalm4210 of David.1732 Give ear238 to my words,561 O LORD,3068 consider995 my meditation.1901

2 Listen7181 to the voice6963 of my cry,7773 my King,4428 and my God:430 for to you will I pray.6419

3 My voice6963 shall you hear8085 in the morning,1242 O LORD;3068 in the morning1242 will I direct6186 my prayer to you, and will look6822 up.

4 For you are not a God410 that has pleasure2655 in wickedness:7562 neither3808 shall evil7451 dwell1481 with you.

5 The foolish1984 shall not stand3320 in your sight:5869 you hate8130 all3605 workers6466 of iniquity.205

6 You shall destroy6 them that speak1696 leasing:3577 the LORD3068 will abhor8581 the bloody1818 and deceitful4820 man.376

7 But as for me, I will come935 into your house1004 in the multitude7230 of your mercy:2617 and in your fear3374 will I worship7812 toward413 your holy6944 temple.1964

8 Lead5148 me, O LORD,3068 in your righteousness6666 because4616 of my enemies;8324 make your way1870 straight3474 before my face.6440

9 For there is no369 faithfulness3559 in their mouth;6310 their inward7130 part is very1942 wickedness;1942 their throat1627 is an open6605 sepulcher;6913 they flatter2505 with their tongue.3956

10 Destroy816 you them, O God;430 let them fall5307 by their own counsels;4156 cast5080 them out in the multitude7230 of their transgressions;6588 for they have rebelled4784 against you.

11 But let all3605 those that put their trust2620 in you rejoice:8055 let them ever5769 shout7442 for joy, because you defend5526 them: let them also that love157 your name8034 be joyful5970 in you.

12 For you, LORD,3068 will bless1288 the righteous;6662 with favor7522 will you compass5849 him as with a shield.6793

1 To the chief5329 Musician5329 on Neginoth5058 upon Sheminith,8067 A Psalm4210 of David.1732 O LORD,3068 rebuke3198 me not in your anger,639 neither3808 chasten3256 me in your hot2534 displeasure.2534

2 Have mercy2603 on me, O LORD;3068 for I am weak:536 O LORD,3068 heal7495 me; for my bones6106 are vexed.926

3 My soul5315 is also sore3966 vexed:926 but you, O LORD,3068 how5704 long?5704

4 Return,7725 O LORD,3068 deliver2502 my soul:5315 oh save3467 me for your mercies'2617 sake.4616

5 For in death4194 there is no369 remembrance2143 of you: in the grave7585 who4310 shall give you thanks?3034

6 I am weary3021 with my groaning;585 all3605 the night3915 make I my bed4296 to swim;7811 I water4529 my couch6210 with my tears.1832

7 My eye5869 is consumed6244 because of grief;3708 it waxes old6275 because of all3605 my enemies.6887

8 Depart5493 from me, all3605 you workers6466 of iniquity;205 for the LORD3068 has heard8085 the voice6963 of my weeping.1065

9 The LORD3068 has heard8085 my supplication;8467 the LORD3068 will receive3947 my prayer.8605

10 Let all3605 my enemies341 be ashamed954 and sore3966 vexed:926 let them return7725 and be ashamed954 suddenly.7281

1 Shiggaion7692 of David,1732 which834 he sang7891 unto the LORD,3068 concerning5921 the words1697 of Cush3568 the Benjamite.1145 O LORD3068 my God,430 in you do I put my trust:2620 save3467 me from all3605 them that persecute7291 me, and deliver5337 me:

2 Lest6435 he tear2963 my soul5315 like a lion,738 rending6561 it in pieces, while there is none369 to deliver.5337

3 O LORD3068 my God,430 if518 I have done6213 this;2063 if518 there be iniquity5766 in my hands;3709

4 If518 I have rewarded1580 evil7451 to him that was at peace7999 with me; (yes, I have delivered2502 him that without7387 cause7387 is my enemy:6887)

5 Let the enemy341 persecute7291 my soul,5315 and take5381 it; yes, let him tread7429 down my life2416 on the earth,776 and lay7931 my honor3519 in the dust.6083 Selah.5542

6 Arise,6965 O LORD,3068 in your anger,639 lift5375 up yourself because of the rage5678 of my enemies:6887 and awake5782 for me to the judgment4941 that you have commanded.6680

7 So shall the congregation5712 of the people3816 compass5437 you about: for their sakes5921 therefore return7725 you on high.4791

8 The LORD3068 shall judge1777 the people:5971 judge8199 me, O LORD,3068 according to my righteousness,6664 and according to my integrity8537 that is in me.

9 Oh4994 let the wickedness7451 of the wicked7563 come to an end;1584 but establish3559 the just:6662 for the righteous6662 God430 tries974 the hearts3826 and reins.3629

10 My defense4043 is of God,430 which saves3467 the upright3477 in heart.3820

11 God430 judges8199 the righteous,6662 and God410 is angry2194 with the wicked every3605 day.3117

12 If518 he turn7725 not, he will whet3913 his sword;2719 he has bent1869 his bow,7198 and made it ready.3559

13 He has also prepared3559 for him the instruments3627 of death;4194 he ordains6466 his arrows2671 against the persecutors.1814

14 Behold,2009 he travails2254 with iniquity,205 and has conceived2029 mischief,5999 and brought3205 forth3205 falsehood.8267

15 He made3738 a pit,953 and dig2658 it, and is fallen5307 into the ditch7845 which he made.6466

16 His mischief5999 shall return7725 on his own head,7218 and his violent2555 dealing shall come3381 down3381 on his own pate.6936

17 I will praise3034 the LORD3068 according to his righteousness:6664 and will sing praise to the name8034 of the LORD3068 most5945 high.5945

1 To the chief Musician5329 upon Gittith,1665 A Psalm4210 of David.1732 O LORD,3068 our Lord,113 how4100 excellent117 is your name8034 in all3605 the earth!776 who834 have set5414 your glory1935 above5921 the heavens.8064

2 Out of the mouth6310 of babes5768 and sucklings3243 have you ordained3245 strength5797 because4616 of your enemies,6887 that you might still7673 the enemy341 and the avenger.5358

3 When3588 I consider7200 your heavens,8064 the work4639 of your fingers,676 the moon3394 and the stars,3556 which834 you have ordained;3559

4 What4100 is man,582 that you are mindful2142 of him? and the son1121 of man,120 that you visit6485 him?

5 For you have made him a little4592 lower2637 than the angels,430 and have crowned5849 him with glory3519 and honor.1926

6 You made him to have dominion4910 over the works4639 of your hands;3027 you have put7896 all3605 things under8478 his feet:7272

7 All3605 sheep6792 and oxen,504 yes,1571 and the beasts929 of the field;7704

8 The fowl6833 of the air,8064 and the fish1709 of the sea,3220 and whatever passes5674 through the paths734 of the seas.3220

9 O LORD3068 our Lord,113 how4100 excellent117 is your name8034 in all3605 the earth!776

9

1 To the chief5329 Musician5329 upon Muthlabben,4192 A Psalm4210 of David.1732 I will praise3034 you, O LORD,3068 with my whole3605 heart;3820 I will show5608 forth all3605 your marvelous6381 works.

2 I will be glad8056 and rejoice5970 in you: I will sing praise to your name,8034 O you most5945 High.5945

3 When my enemies341 are turned7725 back,268 they shall fall3782 and perish6 at your presence.6440

4 For you have maintained6213 my right4941 and my cause;1779 you sat3427 in the throne3678 judging8199 right.6664

5 You have rebuked1605 the heathen,1471 you have destroyed6 the wicked,7563 you have put4229 out their name8034 for ever5769 and ever.5703

6 O you enemy,341 destructions2723 are come to a perpetual5331 end:8552 and you have destroyed5428 cities;5892 their memorial2143 is perished6 with them.

7 But the LORD3068 shall endure3427 for ever:5769 he has prepared3559 his throne3678 for judgment.4941

8 And he shall judge8199 the world8398 in righteousness,6664 he shall minister1777 judgment1777 to the people3816 in uprightness.4339

9 The LORD3068 also will be a refuge4869 for the oppressed,1790 a refuge4869 in times6256 of trouble.6869

10 And they that know3045 your name8034 will put their trust982 in you: for you, LORD,3068 have not forsaken5800 them that seek1875 you.

11 Sing praises to the LORD,3068 which dwells3427 in Zion:6726 declare5046 among the people5971 his doings.5949

12 When3588 he makes inquisition1875 for blood,1818 he remembers2142 them: he forgets7911 not the cry6818 of the humble.6041

13 Have mercy2603 on me, O LORD;3068 consider7200 my trouble6040 which I suffer of them that hate8130 me, you that lift7311 me up from the gates8179 of death:4194

14 That I may show5608 forth all3605 your praise8416 in the gates8179 of the daughter1323 of Zion:6726 I will rejoice1523 in your salvation.3444

15 The heathen1471 are sunk2883 down in the pit7845 that they made:6213 in the net7568 which2098 they hid2934 is their own foot7272 taken.3920

16 The LORD3068 is known3045 by the judgment4941 which he executes:6213 the wicked7563 is snared5367 in the work6467 of his own hands.3709 Higgaion.1902 Selah.5542

17 The wicked7563 shall be turned7725 into hell,7585 and all3605 the nations1471 that forget7913 God.430

18 For the needy34 shall not always5331 be forgotten:7911 the expectation8615 of the poor6035 6041 shall not perish6 for ever.5703

19 Arise,6965 O LORD;3068 let not man582 prevail:5810 let the heathen1471 be judged8199 in your sight.6440

20 Put7896 them in fear,4172 O LORD:3068 that the nations1471 may know3045 themselves to be but men.582 Selah.5542

10

1 Why4100 stand5975 you afar7350 off, O LORD?3068 why hide5956 you yourself in times6256 of trouble?6869

2 The wicked7563 in his pride1346 does persecute1814 the poor:6041 let them be taken8610 in the devices4209 that they have imagined.2803

3 For the wicked7563 boasts1984 of his heart's5315 desire,8378 and blesses1288 the covetous,1214 whom the LORD3068 abhors.5006

4 The wicked,7563 through the pride1363 of his countenance,639 will not seek1875 after God430: God is not in all3605 his thoughts.4209

5 His ways1870 are always3605 6256 grievous;2342 your judgments4941 are far5048 above4791 out of his sight:5048 as for all3605 his enemies,6887 he puffs6315 at them.

6 He has said559 in his heart,3820 I shall not be moved:4131 for I shall never1755 be in adversity.7451

7 His mouth6310 is full4390 of cursing423 and deceit4820 and fraud:8496 under8478 his tongue3956 is mischief5999 and vanity.205

8 He sits3427 in the lurking3993 places of the villages:2691 in the secret4565 places does he murder2026 the innocent:5355 his eyes5869 are privately6845 set6845 against the poor.2489

9 He lies in wait693 secretly4565 as a lion738 in his den:5520 he lies in wait693 to catch2414 the poor:6041 he does catch2414 the poor,6041 when he draws4900 him into his net.7568

10 He crouches,1794 and humbles7817 himself, that the poor2489 may fall5307 by his strong6099 ones.

11 He has said559 in his heart,3820 God410 has forgotten:7911 he hides5641 his face;6440 he will never1074 5331 see7200 it.

12 Arise,6965 O LORD;3068 O God,410 lift5375 up your hand:3027 forget7911 not the humble.6041

13 Why5921 4100 does the wicked7563 scorn5006 God?430 he has said559 in his heart,3820 You will not require1875 it.

14 You have seen7200 it; for you behold5027 mischief5999 and spite,3708 to requite5414 it with your hand:3027 the poor2489 commits5800 himself to you; you are the helper5826 of the fatherless.3490

15 Break7665 you the arm2220 of the wicked7563 and the evil7451 man: seek1875 out his wickedness7562 till you find4672 none.1077

16 The LORD3068 is King4428 for ever5769 and ever:5703 the heathen1471 are perished6 out of his land.776

17 LORD,3068 you have heard8085 the desire8378 of the humble:6041 you will prepare3559 their heart,3820 you will cause your ear241 to hear:7181

18 To judge8199 the fatherless3490 and the oppressed,1790 that the man582 of the earth776 may no1077 more3254 5750 oppress.6206

11

1 To the chief5329 Musician,5329 A Psalm of David.1732 In the LORD3068 put I my trust:2620 how349 say559 you to my soul,5315 Flee5110 as a bird6833 to your mountain?2022

2 For, see,2009 the wicked7563 bend1869 their bow,7198 they make ready3559 their arrow2671 on the string,3499 that they may privately652 shoot3384 at the upright3477 in heart.3820

3 If3588 the foundations8356 be destroyed,2040 what4100 can the righteous6662 do?6466

4 The LORD3068 is in his holy6944 temple,1964 the LORD's3068 throne3678 is in heaven:8064 his eyes5869 behold,2372 his eyelids6079 try,974 the children1121 of men.120

5 The LORD3068 tries974 the righteous:6662 but the wicked7563 and him that loves157 violence2555 his soul5315 hates.8130

6 On the wicked7563 he shall rain4305 snares,6341 fire784 and brimstone,1614 and an horrible2152 tempest:7307 this shall be the portion4521 of their cup.3563

7 For the righteous6662 LORD3068 loves157 righteousness;6666 his countenance6440 does behold2372 the upright.3477

12

1 To the chief5329 Musician5329 upon Sheminith,8067 A Psalm4210 of David.1732 Help,3467 LORD;3068 for the godly2623 man ceases;1584 for the faithful539 fail6461 from among the children1121 of men.120

2 They speak1696 vanity7723 every376 one376 with his neighbor:7453 with flattering2513 lips8193 and with a double heart3820 do they speak.1696

3 The LORD3068 shall cut3772 off all3605 flattering2513 lips,8193 and the tongue3956 that speaks1696 proud1419 things:

4 Who834 have said,559 With our tongue3956 will we prevail;1396 our lips8193 are our own: who4310 is lord113 over us?

5 For the oppression7701 of the poor,6041 for the sighing603 of the needy,34 now6258 will I arise,6965 said559 the LORD;3068 I will set7896 him in safety3468 from him that puffs6315 at him.

6 The words565 of the LORD3068 are pure2889 words:565 as silver3701 tried6884 in a furnace5948 of earth,776 purified2212 seven7659 times.

7 You shall keep8104 them, O LORD,3068 you shall preserve5341 them from this2098 generation1755 for ever.5769

8 The wicked7563 walk1980 on every5437 side,5439 when the vilest2149 men1121 120 are exalted.7311

13

1 To the chief5329 Musician,5329 A Psalm4210 of David.1732 How5704 long5704 will you forget7911 me, O LORD?3068 for ever?5331 how5704 long5704 will you hide5641 your face6440 from me?

2 How5704 long5704 shall I take7896 counsel6098 in my soul,5315 having sorrow3015 in my heart3824 daily?3119 how5704 long5704 shall my enemy341 be exalted7311 over5921 me?

3 Consider5027 and hear6030 me, O LORD3068 my God:430 lighten215 my eyes,5869 lest6435 I sleep3462 the sleep of death;4194

4 Lest6435 my enemy341 say,559 I have prevailed3201 against him; and those that trouble6862 me rejoice1523 when3588 I am moved.4131

5 But I have trusted982 in your mercy;2617 my heart3820 shall rejoice1523 in your salvation.3444

6 I will sing7891 to the LORD,3068 because3588 he has dealt1580 bountifully1580 with me.

1 To the chief5329 Musician,5329 A Psalm of David.1732 The fool5036 has said559 in his heart,3820 There is no369 God.430 They are corrupt,7843 they have done abominable8581 works,5949 there is none369 that does6213 good.2896

2 The LORD3068 looked8259 down from heaven8064 on the children1121 of men,120 to see7200 if there were any that did understand,7919 and seek1875 God.430

3 They are all3605 gone5493 aside,5493 they are all together3162 become444 filthy:444 there is none369 that does6213 good,2896 no, not one.259

4 Have all3605 the workers6466 of iniquity205 no3808 knowledge?3045 who eat398 up my people5971 as they eat398 bread,3899 and call7121 not on the LORD.3068

5 There8033 were they in great6343 fear:6342 for God430 is in the generation1755 of the righteous.6662

6 You have shamed954 the counsel6098 of the poor,6041 because3588 the LORD3068 is his refuge.4268

7 Oh that the salvation3444 of Israel3478 were come out of Zion!6726 when the LORD3068 brings7725 back7725 the captivity7622 of his people,5971 Jacob3290 shall rejoice,1523 and Israel3478 shall be glad.8056

15

1 A Psalm4210 of David.1732 Lord,3068 who4310 shall abide1481 in your tabernacle?168 who4310 shall dwell7931 in your holy6944 hill?2022

2 He that walks1980 uprightly,8549 and works6466 righteousness,6664 and speaks1696 the truth571 in his heart.3824

3 He that backbites7270 not with his tongue,3956 nor3808 does6213 evil7451 to his neighbor,7453 nor3808 takes5375 up a reproach2781 against5921 his neighbor.7138

4 In whose eyes5869 a vile959 person is contemned;959 but he honors3513 them that fear3373 the LORD.3068 He that swears7650 to his own hurt,7489 and changes4171 not.

5 He that puts5414 not out his money3701 to usury,5392 nor3808 takes3947 reward7810 against5921 the innocent.5355 He that does6213 these428 things shall never3808 5769 be moved.4131

1 Michtam4387 of David.1732 Preserve8104 me, O God:410 for in you do I put my trust.2620

2 O my soul, you have said559 to the LORD,3068 You are my Lord:136 my goodness2896 extends not to you;

3 But to the saints6918 that are in the earth,776 and to the excellent,117 in whom is all3605 my delight.2656

4 Their sorrows6094 shall be multiplied7235 that hasten4116 after another312 god: their drink5262 offerings of blood1818 will I not offer,5258 nor1077 take5375 up their names8034 into5921 my lips.8193

5 The LORD3068 is the portion4490 of my inheritance2506 and of my cup:3563 you maintain8551 my lot.1486

6 The lines2256 are fallen5307 to me in pleasant5273 places; yes,637 I have5921 a goodly8231 heritage.5159

7 I will bless1288 the LORD,3068 who834 has given me counsel:3289 my reins3629 also637 instruct3256 me in the night3915 seasons.

8 I have set7737 the LORD3068 always8548 before5048 me: because3588 he is at my right3225 hand,3225 I shall not be moved.4131

9 Therefore3651 my heart3820 is glad,8056 and my glory3519 rejoices:1523 my flesh1320 also637 shall rest7931 in hope.983

10 For you will not leave5800 my soul5315 in hell;7585 neither3808 will you suffer5414 your Holy2623 One to see7200 corruption.7845

11 You will show3045 me the path734 of life:2416 in your presence6440 is fullness7648 of joy;8057 at your right3225 hand3225 there are pleasures5273 for ever more.5331

17

1 A Prayer8605 of David.1732 Hear8085 the right,6664 O LORD,3068 attend7181 to my cry,7440 give ear238 to my prayer,8605 that goes not out of feigned4820 lips.8193

2 Let my sentence4941 come3318 forth3318 from your presence;6440 let your eyes5869 behold2372 the things that are equal.4339

3 You have proved974 my heart;3820 you have visited6485 me in the night;3915 you have tried6884 me, and shall find4672 nothing;1077 I am purposed2161 that my mouth6310 shall not transgress.5674

4 Concerning the works6468 of men,120 by the word1697 of your lips8193 I have kept8104 me from the paths734 of the destroyer.6530

5 Hold8551 up my goings838 in your paths,4570 that my footsteps6471 slip4131 not.

6 I have called7121 on you, for you will hear6030 me, O God:410 incline5186 your ear241 to me, and hear8085 my speech.565

7 Show your marvelous6395 loving kindness,2617 O you that save3467 by your right3225 hand3225 them which put their trust2620 in you from those that rise6965 up against them.

8 Keep8104 me as the apple380 1323 of the eye,5869 hide5641 me under the shadow6738 of your wings,3671

9 From the wicked7563 that oppress7703 me, from my deadly5315 enemies,341 who compass5362 me about.

10 They are enclosed5462 in their own fat:2459 with their mouth6310 they speak1696 proudly.1348

11 They have now6258 compassed5437 us in our steps:838 they have set7896 their eyes5869 bowing5186 down5186 to the earth;776

12 Like1825 as a lion738 that is greedy3700 of his prey,2963 and as it were a young3715 lion3715 lurking3427 in secret4565 places.

13 Arise,6965 O LORD,3068 disappoint6923 him, cast3766 him down:3766 deliver6403 my soul5315 from the wicked,7563 which is your sword:2719

14 From men4962 which are your hand,3027 O LORD,3068 from men4962 of the world,2465 which have their portion2506 in this life,2416 and whose belly990 you fill4390 with your hid6845 treasure: they are full7646 of children,1121 and leave5117 the rest3499 of their substance to their babes.5768

15 As for me, I will behold2372 your face6440 in righteousness:6664 I shall be satisfied,7646 when I awake,6974 with your likeness.8544

1 To the chief5329 Musician,5329 A Psalm4210 of David,1732 the servant5650 of the LORD,3068 who834 spake1696 unto the LORD3068 the words1697 of this2063 song7892 in the day3117 that the LORD3068 delivered5337 him from the hand3709 of all3605 his enemies,341 and from the hand3027 of Saul:7586 And he said,559 I will love7355 you, O LORD,3068 my strength.2391

2 The LORD3068 is my rock,5553 and my fortress,4686 and my deliverer;6403 my God,410 my strength,6697 in whom I will trust;2620 my buckler,4043 and the horn7161 of my salvation,3468 and my high4869 tower.4869

3 I will call7121 on the LORD,3068 who is worthy to be praised:1984 so shall I be saved3467 from my enemies.341

4 The sorrows2256 of death4194 compassed661 me, and the floods5158 of ungodly1100 men made me afraid.1204

5 The sorrows2256 of hell7585 compassed5437 me about: the snares4170 of death4194 prevented6923 me.

6 In my distress6862 I called7121 on the LORD,3068 and cried7768 to my God:430 he heard8085 my voice6963 out of his temple,1964 and my cry7775 came935 before6440 him, even into his ears.241

7 Then the earth776 shook1607 and trembled;7493 the foundations4146 also of the hills2022 moved7264 and were shaken,1607 because3588 he was wroth.2734

8 There went5927 up a smoke6227 out of his nostrils,639 and fire784 out of his mouth6310 devoured:398 coals1513 were kindled1197 by it.

9 He bowed5186 the heavens8064 also, and came3381 down:3381 and darkness6205 was under8478 his feet.7272

10 And he rode7392 on a cherub,3742 and did fly:5774 yes, he did fly1675 on the wings3671 of the wind.7307

11 He made7896 darkness2822 his secret5643 place; his pavilion5521 round5439 about him were dark2824 waters4325 and thick clouds5645 of the skies.7834

12 At the brightness5051 that was before5048 him his thick clouds5645 passed,5674 hail1259 stones and coals1513 of fire.784

13 The LORD3068 also thundered7481 in the heavens,8064 and the Highest5945 gave5414 his voice;6963 hail1259 stones and coals1513 of fire.784

14 Yes, he sent7971 out his arrows,2671 and scattered6327 them; and he shot7232 out lightning,1300 and discomfited1949 them.

15 Then the channels650 of waters4325 were seen,7200 and the foundations4146 of the world8398 were discovered1540 at your rebuke,1606 O LORD,3068 at the blast5397 of the breath7307 of your nostrils.639

16 He sent7971 from above,4791 he took3947 me, he drew4871 me out of many7227 waters.4325

17 He delivered5337 me from my strong5794 enemy,341 and from them which hated8130 me: for they were too strong553 for me.

18 They prevented6923 me in the day3117 of my calamity:343 but the LORD3068 was my stay.4937

19 He brought3318 me forth3318 also into a large4800 place;4800 he delivered2502 me, because3588 he delighted2654 in me.

20 The LORD3068 rewarded1580 me according to my righteousness;6664 according to the cleanness1252 of my hands3027 has he recompensed7725 me.

21 For I have kept8104 the ways1870 of the LORD,3068 and have not wickedly7561 departed from my God.430

22 For all3605 his judgments4941 were before5048 me, and I did not put5493 away5493 his statutes2708 from me.

23 I was also upright8549 before5973 him, and I kept8104 myself from my iniquity.5771

24 Therefore has the LORD3068 recompensed7725 me according to my righteousness,6664 according to the cleanness1252 of my hands3027 in his eyesight.5869

25 With the merciful2623 you will show yourself merciful;2616 with an upright8549 man1397 you will show yourself upright;8549

26 With the pure1305 you will show yourself pure;1305 and with the fraudulent6141 you will show yourself devious.6617

27 For you will save3467 the afflicted6041 people;5971 but will bring8213 down8213 high7311 looks.5869

28 For you will light215 my candle:5216 the LORD3068 my God430 will enlighten5050 my darkness.2822

29 For by you I have run7323 through a troop;1416 and by my God430 have I leaped1801 over a wall.7791

30 As for God,410 his way1870 is perfect:8549 the word565 of the LORD3068 is tried:6884 he is a buckler4043 to all3605 those that trust2620 in him.

31 For who4310 is God433 save1107 the LORD?3068 or who4310 is a rock6697 save2108 our God?430

32 It is God410 that girds247 me with strength,2428 and makes5414 my way1870 perfect.8549

33 He makes7737 my feet7272 like hinds'355 feet,7272 and sets5975 me on my high1116 places.

34 He teaches3925 my hands3027 to war,4421 so that a bow7198 of steel5154 is broken5181 by my arms.2220

35 You have also given5414 me the shield4043 of your salvation:3468 and your right3225 hand3225 has held5582 me up, and your gentleness6038 has made me great.7235

36 You have enlarged7337 my steps6806 under8478 me, that my feet7166 did not slip.4571

37 I have pursued7291 my enemies,341 and overtaken5381 them: neither3808 did I turn7725 again7725 till5704 they were consumed.3615

38 I have wounded4272 them that they were not able3201 to rise:6965 they are fallen5307 under8478 my feet.7272

39 For you have girded247 me with strength2428 to the battle:4421 you have subdued3766 under8478 me those that rose6965 up against me.

40 You have also given5414 me the necks6203 of my enemies;341 that I might destroy6789 them that hate8130 me.

41 They cried,7768 but there was none369 to save3467 them: even to the LORD,3068 but he answered6030 them not.

42 Then did I beat7833 them small as the dust6083 before5921 6440 the wind:7307 I did cast7324 them out as the dirt2916 in the streets.2351

43 You have delivered6403 me from the strivings7379 of the people;5971 and you have made7760 me the head7218 of the heathen:1471 a people5971 whom I have not known3045 shall serve5647 me.

44 As soon as they hear8085 of me, they shall obey8085 me: the strangers1121 5236 shall submit3584 themselves to me.

45 The strangers1121 5236 shall fade5034 away, and be afraid2727 out of their close4526 places.

46 The LORD3068 lives;2416 and blessed1288 be my rock;6697 and let the God430 of my salvation3468 be exalted.7311

47 It is God410 that avenges5414 5360 me, and subdues1696 the people5971 under8478 me.

48 He delivers6403 me from my enemies:341 yes,637 you lift7311 me up above those that rise6965 up against me: you have delivered5337 me from the violent2555 man.376

49 Therefore5921 3651 will I give thanks3034 to you, O LORD,3068 among the heathen,1471 and sing praises to your name.8034

50 Great1431 deliverance3444 gives he to his king;4428 and shows6213 mercy2617 to his anointed,4899 to David,1732 and to his seed2233 for ever more.5769

1 To the chief5329 Musician,5329 A Psalm4210 of David.1732 The heavens8064 declare5608 the glory3519 of God;410 and the firmament7549 shows5046 his handiwork.4639 3027

2 Day3117 to day3117 utters5042 speech,562 and night3915 to night3915 shows2331 knowledge.1847

3 There is no369 speech562 nor369 language,1697 where their voice6963 is not heard.8085

4 Their line6957 is gone3318 out through all3605 the earth,776 and their words4405 to the end7097 of the world.8398 In them has he set7760 a tabernacle168 for the sun,8121

5 Which is as a bridegroom2860 coming3318 out of his chamber,2646 and rejoices7797 as a strong1368 man to run7323 a race.734

6 His going4161 forth4161 is from the end7097 of the heaven,8064 and his circuit8622 to the ends7098 of it: and there is nothing369 hid5641 from the heat2535 thereof.

7 The law8451 of the LORD3068 is perfect,8549 converting7725 the soul:5315 the testimony5715 of the LORD3068 is sure,539 making wise2449 the simple.6612

8 The statutes6490 of the LORD3068 are right,3477 rejoicing8055 the heart:3820 the commandment4687 of the LORD3068 is pure,1249 enlightening215 the eyes.5869

9 The fear3374 of the LORD3068 is clean,2889 enduring5975 for ever:5703 the judgments4941 of the LORD3068 are true571 and righteous6663 altogether.3162

10 More to be desired2530 are they than gold,2091 yes, than much7227 fine gold:6337 sweeter4966 also than honey1706 and the honeycomb.5317 6688

11 Moreover1571 by them is your servant5650 warned:2094 and in keeping8104 of them there is great7227 reward.6118

12 Who4310 can understand995 his errors?7691 cleanse5352 you me from secret5641 faults.

13 Keep2820 back2820 your servant5650 also1571 from presumptuous2086 sins; let them not have dominion4910 over me: then227 shall I be upright,8552 and I shall be innocent5352 from the great7227 transgression.6588

14 Let the words561 of my mouth,6310 and the meditation1902 of my heart,3820 be acceptable7522 in your sight,6440 O LORD,3068 my strength,6697 and my redeemer.1350

20

1 To the chief5329 Musician,5329 A Psalm4210 of David.1732 The LORD3068 hear6030 you in the day3117 of trouble;6869 the name8034 of the God430 of Jacob3290 defend7682 you;

2 Send7971 you help5828 from the sanctuary,6944 and strengthen5582 you out of Zion;6726

3 Remember2142 all3605 your offerings,4503 and accept1878 your burnt5930 sacrifice; Selah.5542

4 Grant5414 you according to your own heart,3824 and fulfill4390 all3605 your counsel.6098

5 We will rejoice7442 in your salvation,3444 and in the name8034 of our God430 we will set up our banners:1713 the LORD3068 fulfill4390 all3605 your petitions.4862

6 Now6258 know3045 I that the LORD3068 saves3467 his anointed;4899 he will hear6030 him from his holy6944 heaven8064 with the saving3468 strength1369 of his right3225 hand.3225

7 Some428 trust in chariots,7393 and some428 in horses:5483 but we will remember2142 the name8034 of the LORD3068 our God.430

8 They are brought3766 down3766 and fallen:5307 but we are risen,6965 and stand5749 upright.

9 Save,3467 LORD:3068 let the king4428 hear6030 us when we call.7121

21

1 To the chief5329 Musician,5329 A Psalm4210 of David.1732 The king4428 shall joy8055 in your strength,5797 O LORD;3068 and in your salvation3444 how4100 greatly3966 shall he rejoice!1523

2 You have given5414 him his heart's3820 desire,8378 and have not withheld4513 the request782 of his lips.8193 Selah.5542

3 For you prevent6923 him with the blessings1293 of goodness:2896 you set7896 a crown5850 of pure6337 gold6337 on his head.7218

4 He asked7592 life2416 of you, and you gave5414 it him, even length753 of days3117 for ever5769 and ever.5703

5 His glory3519 is great1419 in your salvation:3444 honor1935 and majesty1926 have you laid7737 on him.

6 For you have made7896 him most blessed1293 for ever:5703 you have made him exceeding8057 glad2302 with your countenance.6440

7 For the king4428 trusts982 in the LORD,3068 and through the mercy2617 of the most5945 High5945 he shall not be moved.4131

8 Your hand3027 shall find4672 out all3605 your enemies:341 your right3225 hand3225 shall find4672 out those that hate8130 you.

9 You shall make7896 them as a fiery784 oven8574 in the time6256 of your anger:6440 the LORD3068 shall swallow1104 them up in his wrath,639 and the fire784 shall devour398 them.

10 Their fruit6529 shall you destroy6 from the earth,776 and their seed2233 from among the children1121 of men.120

11 For they intended5186 evil7451 against5921 you: they imagined2803 a mischievous4209 device, which they are not able3201 to perform.

12 Therefore shall you make them turn their back,7926 when you shall make ready3559 your arrows on your strings4340 against5921 the face6440 of them.

13 Be you exalted,7311 LORD,3068 in your own strength:5797 so will we sing7891 and praise2167 your power.1369

22

1 To the chief5329 Musician5329 upon Aijeleth365 Shahar,7842 A Psalm4210 of David.1732 My God,410 my God,410 why4100 have you forsaken5800 me? why are you so far7350 from helping3467 me, and from the words1697 of my roaring?7581

2 O my God,430 I cry7121 in the day time,3119 but you hear6030 not; and in the night3915 season, and am not silent.1747

3 But you are holy,6918 O you that inhabit3427 the praises8416 of Israel.3478

4 Our fathers1 trusted982 in you: they trusted,982 and you did deliver6403 them.

5 They cried2199 to you, and were delivered:4422 they trusted982 in you, and were not confounded.954

6 But I am a worm,8438 and no3808 man;376 a reproach2781 of men,120 and despised959 of the people.5971

7 All3605 they that see7200 me laugh3932 me to scorn: they shoot6362 out the lip,8193 they shake5128 the head,7218 saying,

8 He trusted1556 on413 the LORD3068 that he would deliver6403 him: let him deliver5337 him, seeing he delighted2654 in him.

9 But you are he that took1518 me out of the womb:990 you did make me hope982 when I was on my mother's517 breasts.7699

10 I was cast7993 on you from the womb:7358 you are my God410 from my mother's517 belly.990

11 Be not far7368 from me; for trouble6869 is near;7138 for there is none369 to help.5826

12 Many7227 bulls6499 have compassed5437 me: strong47 bulls of Bashan1316 have beset3803 me round.3803

13 They gaped6475 on me with their mouths,6310 as a ravening2963 and a roaring7580 lion.738

14 I am poured8210 out like water,4325 and all3605 my bones6106 are out of joint:6504 my heart3820 is like wax;1749 it is melted4549 in the middle8432 of my bowels.4578

15 My strength3581 is dried3001 up like a potsherd;2789 and my tongue3956 sticks1692 to my jaws;4455 and you have brought8239 me into the dust6083 of death.4194

16 For dogs3611 have compassed5437 me: the assembly5712 of the wicked7489 have enclosed5362 me: they pierced738 my hands3027 and my feet.7272

17 I may tell5608 all3605 my bones:6106 they look5027 and stare7200 on me.

18 They part2505 my garments899 among them, and cast5307 lots1486 on my clothing.3830

19 But be not you far7368 from me, O LORD:3068 O my strength,360 haste2363 you to help5833 me.

20 Deliver5337 my soul5315 from the sword;2719 my darling3173 from the power3027 of the dog.3611

21 Save3467 me from the lion's738 mouth:6310 for you have heard6030 me from the horns7161 of the unicorns.7214

22 I will declare5608 your name8034 to my brothers:251 in the middle8432 of the congregation6951 will I praise1984 you.

23 You that fear3373 the LORD,3068 praise1984 him; all3605 you the seed2233 of Jacob,3290 glorify3513 him; and fear1481 him, all3605 you the seed2233 of Israel.3478

24 For he has not despised959 nor3808 abhorred8262 the affliction6039 of the afflicted;6041 neither3808 has he hid5641 his face6440 from him; but when he cried7768 to him, he heard.8085

25 My praise8416 shall be of you in the great7227 congregation:6951 I will pay7999 my vows5088 before5048 them that fear3373 him.

26 The meek6035 shall eat398 and be satisfied:7646 they shall praise1984 the LORD3068 that seek1875 him: your heart3824 shall live2421 for ever.5703

27 All3605 the ends657 of the world776 shall remember2142 and turn7725 to the LORD:3068 and all3605 the kindreds4940 of the nations1471 shall worship7812 before6440 you.

28 For the kingdom4410 is the LORD's:3068 and he is the governor4910 among the nations.1471

29 All3605 they that be fat1879 on earth776 shall eat398 and worship:7812 all3605 they that go3381 down3381 to the dust6083 shall bow3766 before6440 him: and none3808 can keep alive2421 his own soul.5315

30 A seed2233 shall serve5647 him; it shall be accounted5608 to the Lord136 for a generation.1755

31 They shall come,935 and shall declare5046 his righteousness6666 to a people5971 that shall be born,3205 that he has done6213 this.

23

1 A Psalm4210 of David.1732 The LORD3068 is my shepherd;7462 I shall not want.2637

2 He makes me to lie7257 down7257 in green1877 pastures:4999 he leads5095 me beside5921 the still4496 waters.4325

3 He restores7725 my soul:5315 he leads5095 me in the paths4570 of righteousness6664 for his name's8034 sake.4616

4 Yes,1571 though3588 I walk3212 through the valley1516 of the shadow6757 of death,6757 I will fear3372 no3808 evil:7451 for you are with me; your rod7626 and your staff4938 they comfort5162 me.

5 You prepare6186 a table7979 before6440 me in the presence5048 of my enemies:6887 you anoint1878 my head7218 with oil;8081 my cup3563 runs7310 over.

6 Surely389 goodness2896 and mercy2617 shall follow7291 me all3605 the days3117 of my life:2416 and I will dwell3427 in the house1004 of the LORD3068 for ever.753 3117

24

1 A Psalm4210 of David.1732 The earth776 is the LORD's,3068 and the fullness4393 thereof; the world,8398 and they that dwell3427 therein.

2 For he has founded3245 it on the seas,3220 and established3559 it on the floods.5104

3 Who4310 shall ascend5927 into the hill2022 of the LORD?3068 or who4310 shall stand6965 in his holy6944 place?4725

4 He that has clean5355 hands,3709 and a pure1249 heart;3824 who834 has not lifted5375 up his soul5315 to vanity,7723 nor3808 sworn7650 deceitfully.4820

5 He shall receive5375 the blessing1293 from the LORD,3068 and righteousness6666 from the God430 of his salvation.3468

6 This2088 is the generation1755 of them that seek1875 him, that seek1245 your face,6440 O Jacob.3290 Selah.5542

7 Lift5375 up your heads,7218 O you gates;8179 and be you lift5375 up, you everlasting5769 doors;6607 and the King4428 of glory3519 shall come935 in.

8 Who4310 is this2088 King4428 of glory?3519 The LORD3068 strong5808 and mighty,1368 the LORD3068 mighty1368 in battle.4421

9 Lift5375 up your heads,7218 O you gates;8179 even lift5375 them up, you everlasting5769 doors;6607 and the King4428 of glory3519 shall come935 in.

10 Who4310 is this2088 King4428 of glory?3519 The LORD3068 of hosts,6635 he is the King4428 of glory.3519 Selah.5542

1 A Psalm of David.1732 To you, O LORD,3068 do I lift5375 up my soul.5315

2 O my God,430 I trust982 in you: let me not be ashamed,954 let not my enemies341 triumph5970 over me.

3 Yes,1571 let none3808 that wait6960 on you be ashamed:954 let them be ashamed954 which transgress898 without7387 cause.7387

4 Show3045 me your ways,1870 O LORD;3068 teach3925 me your paths.734

5 Lead1869 me in your truth,571 and teach3925 me: for you are the God430 of my salvation;3468 on you do I wait6960 all3605 the day.3117

6 Remember,2142 O LORD,3068 your tender mercies7356 and your loving kindnesses;2617 for they have been ever of old.5769

7 Remember2142 not the sins2403 of my youth,5271 nor my transgressions:6588 according to your mercy2617 remember2142 you me for your goodness'2898 sake,4616 O LORD.3068

8 Good2896 and upright3477 is the LORD:3068 therefore5921 3651 will he teach3384 sinners2400 in the way.1870

9 The meek6035 will he guide1869 in judgment:4941 and the meek6035 will he teach3925 his way.1870

10 All3605 the paths734 of the LORD3068 are mercy2617 and truth571 to such as keep5341 his covenant1285 and his testimonies.5713

11 For your name's8034 sake,4616 O LORD,3068 pardon5545 my iniquity;5771 for it is great.7227

12 What4310 man376 is he that fears3373 the LORD?3068 him shall he teach3384 in the way1870 that he shall choose.977

13 His soul5315 shall dwell3885 at ease;2896 and his seed2233 shall inherit3423 the earth.776

14 The secret5475 of the LORD3068 is with them that fear3373 him; and he will show3045 them his covenant.1285

15 My eyes5869 are ever8548 toward413 the LORD;3068 for he shall pluck3318 my feet7272 out of the net.7568

16 Turn6437 you to me, and have mercy2603 on me; for I am desolate3173 and afflicted.6041

17 The troubles6869 of my heart3824 are enlarged:7337 O bring3318 you me out of my distresses.4691

18 Look7200 on my affliction6040 and my pain;5999 and forgive5375 all3605 my sins.2403

19 Consider7200 my enemies;341 for they are many;7231 and they hate8130 me with cruel2555 hatred.8135

20 O keep8104 my soul,5315 and deliver5337 me: let me not be ashamed;954 for I put my trust2620 in you.

21 Let integrity8537 and uprightness3476 preserve5341 me; for I wait6960 on you.

22 Redeem6299 Israel,3478 O God,430 out of all3605 his troubles.6869

26

1 A Psalm of David.1732 Judge8199 me, O LORD;3068 for I have walked1980 in my integrity:8537 I have trusted982 also in the LORD;3068 therefore I shall not slide.4571

2 Examine974 me, O LORD,3068 and prove5254 me; try6884 my reins3629 and my heart.3820

3 For your loving kindness2617 is before5048 my eyes:5869 and I have walked1980 in your truth.571

4 I have not sat3427 with vain7723 persons,4962 neither3808 will I go935 in with dissemblers.5956

5 I have hated8130 the congregation6951 of evil doers;4827 and will not sit3427 with the wicked.7563

6 I will wash7364 my hands3709 in innocence:5356 so will I compass5437 your altar,4196 O LORD:3068

7 That I may publish8085 with the voice6963 of thanksgiving,8426 and tell5608 of all3605 your wondrous6381 works.

8 LORD,3068 I have loved157 the habitation4583 of your house,1004 and the place4725 where your honor3519 dwells.4908

9 Gather622 not my soul5315 with sinners,2400 nor my life2416 with bloody1818 men:582

10 In whose834 hands3027 is mischief,2154 and their right3225 hand3225 is full4390 of bribes.7810

11 But as for me, I will walk3212 in my integrity:8537 redeem6299 me, and be merciful2603 to me.

12 My foot7272 stands5975 in an even4334 place: in the congregations4721 will I bless1288 the LORD.3068

27

1 A Psalm of David.1732 The LORD3068 is my light216 and my salvation;3468 whom4310 shall I fear?3372 the LORD3068 is the strength4581 of my life;2416 of whom4310 shall I be afraid?6342

2 When the wicked,7489 even my enemies6862 and my foes,341 came7126 on me to eat398 up my flesh,1320 they stumbled3782 and fell.5307

3 Though518 an host4264 should encamp2583 against5921 me, my heart3820 shall not fear:3372 though518 war4421 should rise6965 against5921 me, in this2063 will I be confident.982

4 One259 thing have I desired7592 of the LORD,3068 that will I seek1245 after; that I may dwell3427 in the house1004 of the LORD3068 all3605 the days3117 of my life,2416 to behold2372 the beauty5278 of the LORD,3068 and to inquire1239 in his temple.1964

5 For in the time3117 of trouble7451 he shall hide6845 me in his pavilion:5520 in the secret5643 of his tabernacle168 shall he hide5641 me; he shall set7311 me up on a rock.6697

6 And now6258 shall my head7218 be lifted7311 up above5921 my enemies341 round5439 about me: therefore will I offer2076 in his tabernacle168 sacrifices2077 of joy;8643 I will sing,7891 yes, I will sing2167 praises to the LORD.3068

7 Hear,8085 O LORD,3068 when I cry7121 with my voice:6963 have mercy2603 also on me, and answer6030 me.

8 When you said,559 Seek1245 you my face;6440 my heart3820 said559 to you, Your face,6440 LORD,3068 will I seek.1245

9 Hide5641 not your face6440 far from me; put5186 not your servant5650 away5186 in anger:639 you have been1961 my help;5833 leave5203 me not, neither408 forsake5800 me, O God430 of my salvation.3468

10 When3588 my father1 and my mother517 forsake5800 me, then the LORD3068 will take622 me up.

11 Teach3384 me your way,1870 O LORD,3068 and lead5148 me in a plain4334 path,734 because4616 of my enemies.8324

12 Deliver5414 me not over to the will5315 of my enemies:6862 for false8267 witnesses5707 are risen6965 up against me, and such as breathe3307 out cruelty.2555

13 I had fainted, unless3884 I had believed539 to see7200 the goodness2898 of the LORD3068 in the land776 of the living.2416

14 Wait6960 on the LORD:3068 be of good courage,2388 and he shall strengthen553 your heart:3820 wait,6960 I say, on the LORD.3068

28

1 A Psalm of David.1732 To you will I cry,7121 O LORD3068 my rock;6697 be not silent2790 to me: lest,6435 if you be silent2790 to me, I become4911 like5973 them that go3381 down3381 into the pit.953

2 Hear8085 the voice6963 of my supplications,8469 when I cry7768 to you, when I lift5375 up my hands3027 toward413 your holy6944 oracle.1687

3 Draw4900 me not away with the wicked,7563 and with the workers6466 of iniquity,205 which speak1696 peace7965 to their neighbors,7453 but mischief7451 is in their hearts.3824

4 Give5414 them according to their deeds,6467 and according to the wickedness7455 of their endeavors:4611 give5414 them after the work4639 of their hands;3027 render7725 to them their desert.1576

5 Because3588 they regard995 not the works6468 of the LORD,3068 nor the operation4639 of his hands,3027 he shall destroy2040 them, and not build1129 them up.

6 Blessed1288 be the LORD,3068 because3588 he has heard8085 the voice6963 of my supplications.8469

7 The LORD3068 is my strength5797 and my shield;4043 my heart3820 trusted982 in him, and I am helped:5826 therefore my heart3820 greatly rejoices;5937 and with my song7892 will I praise3034 him.

8 The LORD3068 is their strength,5797 and he is the saving3444 strength4581 of his anointed.4899

9 Save3467 your people,5971 and bless1288 your inheritance:5159 feed7462 them also, and lift5375 them up for ever.5769

29

1 A Psalm4210 of David.1732 Give3051 to the LORD,3068 O you mighty,1121 410 give3051 to the LORD3068 glory3519 and strength.5797

2 Give3051 to the LORD3068 the glory3519 due to his name;8034 worship7812 the LORD3068 in the beauty1927 of holiness.6944

3 The voice6963 of the LORD3068 is on the waters:4325 the God410 of glory3519 thunders:7481 the LORD3068 is on many7227 waters.4325

4 The voice6963 of the LORD3068 is powerful;3581 the voice6963 of the LORD3068 is full of majesty.1926

5 The voice6963 of the LORD3068 breaks7665 the cedars;730 yes, the LORD3068 breaks7665 the cedars730 of Lebanon.3844

6 He makes them also to skip7540 like a calf;5695 Lebanon3844 and Sirion8303 like3644 a young1121 unicorn.7214

7 The voice6963 of the LORD3068 divides2672 the flames3852 of fire.784

8 The voice6963 of the LORD3068 shakes2342 the wilderness;4057 the LORD3068 shakes2342 the wilderness4057 of Kadesh.6946

9 The voice6963 of the LORD3068 makes the hinds355 to calve,2342 and discovers2834 the forests:3295 and in his temple1964 does every3605 one speak559 of his glory.3519

10 The LORD3068 sits3427 on the flood;3999 yes, the LORD3068 sits3427 King4428 for ever.5769

11 The LORD3068 will give5414 strength5797 to his people;5971 the LORD3068 will bless1288 his people5971 with peace.7965

1 A Psalm4210 and Song7892 at the dedication2598 of the house1004 of David.1732 I will extol7311 you, O LORD;3068 for you have lifted1802 me up, and have not made my foes341 to rejoice8055 over me.

2 O LORD3068 my God,430 I cried7768 to you, and you have healed7495 me.

3 O LORD,3068 you have brought5927 up my soul5315 from the grave:7585 you have kept me alive,2421 that I should not go3381 down3381 to the pit.953

4 Sing2167 to the LORD,3068 O you saints2623 of his, and give thanks3034 at the remembrance2143 of his holiness.6944

5 For his anger639 endures but a moment;7281 in his favor7522 is life:2416 weeping1065 may endure3885 for a night,6153 but joy7440 comes in the morning.1242

6 And in my prosperity7961 I said,559 I shall never3808 5769 be moved.4131

7 LORD,3068 by your favor7522 you have made my mountain2042 to stand5975 strong:5797 you did hide5641 your face,6440 and I was troubled.926

8 I cried7121 to you, O LORD;3068 and to the LORD3068 I made supplication.2603

9 What4100 profit1215 is there in my blood,1818 when I go3381 down3381 to the pit?7845 Shall the dust6083 praise3034 you? shall it declare5046 your truth?571

10 Hear,8085 O LORD,3068 and have mercy2603 on me: LORD,3068 be you my helper.5826

11 You have turned2015 for me my mourning4553 into dancing:4234 you have put6605 off my sackcloth,8242 and girded247 me with gladness;8057

12 To the end4616 that my glory3519 may sing2167 praise to you, and not be silent.1826 O LORD3068 my God,430 I will give thanks3034 to you for ever.5769

31

1 To the chief5329 Musician,5329 A Psalm4210 of David.1732 In you, O LORD,3068 do I put my trust;2620 let me never408 3808 be ashamed:954 deliver6403 me in your righteousness.6666

2 Bow5186 down5186 your ear241 to me; deliver5337 me speedily:4120 be you my strong4581 rock,6697 for an house1004 of defense4686 to save3467 me.

3 For you are my rock5553 and my fortress;4686 therefore for your name's8034 sake4616 lead5148 me, and guide5095 me.

4 Pull3318 me out of the net7568 that they have laid2934 privately2934 for me: for you are my strength.4581

5 Into your hand3027 I commit6485 my spirit:7307 you have redeemed6299 me, O LORD3068 God410 of truth.571

6 I have hated8130 them that regard8104 lying7723 vanities:1892 but I trust982 in the LORD.3068

7 I will be glad1523 and rejoice8055 in your mercy:2617 for you have considered7200 my trouble;6040 you have known3045 my soul5315 in adversities;6869

8 And have not shut5462 me up into the hand3027 of the enemy:341 you have set5975 my feet7272 in a large4800 room.4800

9 Have mercy2603 on me, O LORD,3068 for I am in trouble:6887 my eye5869 is consumed6244 with grief,3708 yes, my soul5315 and my belly.990

10 For my life2416 is spent3615 with grief,3015 and my years8141 with sighing:585 my strength3581 fails3782 because of my iniquity,5771 and my bones6106 are consumed.6244

11 I was a reproach2781 among all3605 my enemies,6887 but especially3966 among my neighbors,7934 and a fear6343 to my acquaintance:3045 they that did see7200 me without2351 fled5074 from me.

12 I am forgotten7911 as a dead4191 man out of mind:3820 I am like a broken6 vessel.3627

13 For I have heard8085 the slander1681 of many:7227 fear4032 was on every5437 side:5439 while they took counsel3245 together3162 against5921 me, they devised2161 to take3947 away my life.5315

14 But I trusted982 in you, O LORD:3068 I said,559 You are my God.430

15 My times6256 are in your hand:3027 deliver5337 me from the hand3027 of my enemies,341 and from them that persecute7291 me.

16 Make your face6440 to shine215 on your servant:5650 save3467 me for your mercies'2617 sake.

17 Let me not be ashamed,954 O LORD;3068 for I have called7121 on you: let the wicked7563 be ashamed,954 and let them be silent1826 in the grave.7585

18 Let the lying8267 lips8193 be put to silence;481 which speak1696 grievous6277 things proudly1346 and contemptuously937 against5921 the righteous.6662

19 Oh how4100 great7227 is your goodness,2898 which834 you have laid6845 up for them that fear3373 you; which you have worked6466 for them that trust2620 in you before5048 the sons1121 of men!120

20 You shall hide5641 them in the secret5643 of your presence6440 from the pride7407 of man:376 you shall keep them secretly6845 in a pavilion5521 from the strife7379 of tongues.3956

21 Blessed1288 be the LORD:3068 for he has showed me his marvelous6381 kindness2617 in a strong4692 city.5892

22 For I said559 in my haste,2648 I am cut1629 off from before5048 your eyes:5869 nevertheless403 you heard8085 the voice6963 of my supplications8469 when I cried7768 to you.

23 O love157 the LORD,3068 all3605 you his saints:2623 for the LORD3068 preserves5341 the faithful,539 and plentifully3499 rewards7999 the proud1346 doer.6213

24 Be of good courage,2388 and he shall strengthen553 your heart,3824 all3605 you that hope3176 in the LORD.3068

1 A Psalm of David,1732 Maschil.4905 Blessed835 is he whose transgression6588 is forgiven,5375 whose sin2403 is covered.3680

2 Blessed835 is the man120 to whom the LORD3068 imputes2803 not iniquity,5771 and in whose spirit7307 there is no369 guile.7423

3 When3588 I kept2790 silence,2790 my bones6106 waxed old1086 through my roaring7581 all3605 the day3117 long.

4 For day3119 and night3915 your hand3027 was heavy3513 on me: my moisture3955 is turned2015 into the drought2725 of summer.7019 Selah.5542

5 I acknowledge3045 my sin2403 to you, and my iniquity5771 have I not hid.3680 I said,559 I will confess3034 my transgressions6588 to the LORD;3068 and you forgave5375 the iniquity5771 of my sin.2403 Selah.5542

6 For this2063 shall every3605 one that is godly2623 pray6419 to you in a time6256 when you may be found:4672 surely7535 in the floods7858 of great7227 waters4325 they shall not come5060 near5060 to him.

7 You are my hiding5643 place; you shall preserve5341 me from trouble;6862 you shall compass5437 me about with songs7438 of deliverance.6405 Selah.5542

8 I will instruct7919 you and teach3384 you in the way1870 which2098 you shall go:3212 I will guide3289 you with my eye.5869

9 Be you not as the horse,5483 or as the mule,6505 which have no369 understanding:995 whose mouth5716 must be held1102 in with bit4964 and bridle,7448 lest1077 they come7126 near7126 to you.

10 Many7227 sorrows4341 shall be to the wicked:7563 but he that trusts982 in the LORD,3068 mercy2617 shall compass5437 him about.

11 Be glad8056 in the LORD,3068 and rejoice,1524 you righteous:6662 and shout7442 for joy, all3605 you that are upright3477 in heart.3820

33

1 Rejoice7442 in the LORD,3068 O you righteous:6662 for praise8416 is comely5000 for the upright.3477

2 Praise3034 the LORD3068 with harp:3658 sing2167 to him with the psaltery5035 and an instrument of ten6218 strings.

3 Sing7891 to him a new2319 song;7892 play5059 skillfully3190 with a loud noise.8643

4 For the word1697 of the LORD3068 is right;3477 and all3605 his works4639 are done in truth.530

5 He loves157 righteousness6666 and judgment:4941 the earth776 is full4390 of the goodness2617 of the LORD.3068

6 By the word1697 of the LORD3068 were the heavens8064 made;6213 and all3605 the host6635 of them by the breath7307 of his mouth.6310

7 He gathers3664 the waters4325 of the sea3220 together as an heap:5067 he lays5414 up the depth8415 in storehouses.214

8 Let all3605 the earth776 fear3372 the LORD:3068 let all3605 the inhabitants3427 of the world8398 stand1481 in awe1481 of him.

9 For he spoke,559 and it was done; he commanded,6680 and it stood5975 fast.

10 The LORD3068 brings6331 the counsel6098 of the heathen1471 to nothing:6331 he makes the devices4284 of the people5971 of none5106 effect.5106

11 The counsel6098 of the LORD3068 stands5975 for ever,5769 the thoughts4284 of his heart3820 to all generations.1755

12 Blessed835 is the nation1471 whose834 God430 is the LORD;3068 and the people5971 whom he has chosen970 for his own inheritance.5159

13 The LORD3068 looks5027 from heaven;8064 he beholds7200 all3605 the sons1121 of men.120

14 From the place4349 of his habitation3427 he looks7688 on all3605 the inhabitants3427 of the earth.776

15 He fashions3335 their hearts3820 alike;3162 he considers995 all3605 their works.4639

16 There is no369 king4428 saved3467 by the multitude7230 of an host:2428 a mighty1368 man is not delivered5337 by much7230 strength.3581

17 An horse5483 is a vain8267 thing for safety:8668 neither3808 shall he deliver4422 any by his great7230 strength.2428

18 Behold,2009 the eye5869 of the LORD3068 is on them that fear3373 him, on them that hope3176 in his mercy;2617

19 To deliver5337 their soul5315 from death,4194 and to keep them alive2421 in famine.7458

20 Our soul5315 waits2442 for the LORD:3068 he is our help5828 and our shield.4043

21 For our heart3820 shall rejoice8055 in him, because3588 we have trusted982 in his holy6944 name.8034

22 Let your mercy,2617 O LORD,3068 be on us, according as we hope3176 in you.

34

1 A Psalm of David,1732 when he changed8138 his behaviour2940 before6440 Abimelech;40 who drove1644 him away, and he departed.3212 I will bless1288 the LORD3068 at all3605 times:6256 his praise8416 shall continually8548 be in my mouth.6310

2 My soul5315 shall make her boast1984 in the LORD:3068 the humble6041 shall hear8085 thereof, and be glad.8056

3 O magnify1431 the LORD3068 with me, and let us exalt7311 his name8034 together.3162

4 I sought1875 the LORD,3068 and he heard6030 me, and delivered5337 me from all3605 my fears.4035

5 They looked5027 to him, and were lightened:5102 and their faces6440 were not ashamed.2659

6 This2088 poor6041 man cried,7121 and the LORD3068 heard8085 him, and saved3467 him out of all3605 his troubles.6869

7 The angel4397 of the LORD3068 encamps2583 round5439 about them that fear3373 him, and delivers2502 them.

8 O taste2938 and see7200 that the LORD3068 is good:2896 blessed835 is the man1397 that trusts2620 in him.

9 O fear3372 the LORD,3068 you his saints:6918 for there is no369 want4270 to them that fear3373 him.

10 The young3715 lions3715 do lack,7326 and suffer hunger:7456 but they that seek1875 the LORD3068 shall not want2637 any3605 good2896 thing.

11 Come,3212 you children,1121 listen8085 to me: I will teach3925 you the fear3374 of the LORD.3068

12 What4310 man376 is he that desires2655 life,2416 and loves157 many days,3117 that he may see7200 good?2896

13 Keep5341 your tongue3956 from evil,7451 and your lips8193 from speaking1696 guile.4820

14 Depart5493 from evil,7451 and do6213 good;2896 seek1245 peace,7965 and pursue7291 it.

15 The eyes5869 of the LORD3068 are on the righteous,6662 and his ears241 are open to their cry.7775

16 The face6440 of the LORD3068 is against them that do6213 evil,7451 to cut3772 off the remembrance2143 of them from the earth.776

17 The righteous cry,6817 and the LORD3068 hears,8085 and delivers5337 them out of all3605 their troubles.6869

18 The LORD3068 is near7126 to them that are of a broken7665 heart;3820 and saves3467 such as be of a contrite1793 spirit.7307

19 Many7227 are the afflictions7451 of the righteous:6662 but the LORD3068 delivers5337 him out of them all.3605

20 He keeps8104 all3605 his bones:6106 not one259 of them is broken.7665

21 Evil7451 shall slay4191 the wicked:7563 and they that hate8130 the righteous6662 shall be desolate.816

22 The LORD3068 redeems6299 the soul5315 of his servants:5650 and none3808 of them that trust2620 in him shall be desolate.816

35

1 A Psalm of David.1732 Plead7378 my cause, O LORD,3068 with them that strive3401 with me: fight3898 against them that fight3898 against me.

2 Take2388 hold2388 of shield4043 and buckler,6793 and stand6965 up for my help.5833

3 Draw7324 out also the spear,2595 and stop5462 the way against7125 them that persecute7291 me: say559 to my soul,5315 I am your salvation.3444

4 Let them be confounded954 and put to shame3637 that seek1245 after my soul:5315 let them be turned5472 back268 and brought2659 to confusion2659 that devise2803 my hurt.7451

5 Let them be as chaff4671 before6440 the wind:7307 and let the angel4397 of the LORD3068 chase1760 them.

6 Let their way1870 be dark2822 and slippery:2519 and let the angel4397 of the LORD3068 persecute7291 them.

7 For without2600 cause2600 have they hid2934 for me their net7568 in a pit,7845 which without2600 cause2600 they have dig2658 for my soul.5315

8 Let destruction7722 come935 on him at unawares;3045 and let his net7568 that he has hid2934 catch3920 himself: into that very destruction7722 let him fall.5307

9 And my soul5315 shall be joyful1523 in the LORD:3068 it shall rejoice7797 in his salvation.3444

10 All3605 my bones6106 shall say,559 LORD,3068 who4310 is like3644 to you, which deliver5337 the poor6041 from him that is too strong2389 for him, yes, the poor6041 and the needy34 from him that spoils1497 him?

11 False2555 witnesses5707 did rise6965 up; they laid to my charge7592 things that I knew3045 not.

12 They rewarded7999 me evil7451 for good2896 to the spoiling7908 of my soul.5315

13 But as for me, when they were sick,2470 my clothing3830 was sackcloth:8242 I humbled6031 my soul5315 with fasting;6685 and my prayer8605 returned7725 into5921 my own bosom.2436

14 I behaved1980 myself as though he had been my friend7453 or brother:251 I bowed7817 down7817 heavily,6957 as one that mourns57 for his mother.517

15 But in my adversity6761 they rejoiced,8055 and gathered622 themselves together: yes, the attackers5222 gathered622 themselves together against5921 me, and I knew3045 it not; they did tear7167 me, and ceased1826 not:

16 With hypocritical2611 mockers3934 in feasts,4580 they gnashed2786 on me with their teeth.8127

17 Lord,136 how4100 long5704 will you look7200 on? rescue7725 my soul5315 from their destructions,7722 my darling3173 from the lions.3715

18 I will give you thanks3034 in the great7227 congregation:6951 I will praise1984 you among much7227 people.5971

19 Let not them that are my enemies341 wrongfully8267 rejoice8055 over me: neither let them wink7169 with the eye5869 that hate8130 me without2600 a cause.2600

20 For they speak1696 not peace:7965 but they devise2803 deceitful4820 matters1697 against5921 them that are quiet7282 in the land.776

21 Yes, they opened their mouth6310 wide7337 against5921 me, and said,559 Aha,253 aha,253 our eye5869 has seen7200 it.

22 This2088 you have seen,7200 O LORD:3068 keep not silence:2790 O Lord,3068 be not far7368 from me.

23 Stir5782 up yourself, and awake6974 to my judgment,4941 even to my cause,7379 my God430 and my Lord.136

24 Judge8199 me, O LORD3068 my God,430 according to your righteousness;6664 and let them not rejoice8055 over me.

25 Let them not say559 in their hearts,3820 Ah,253 so would5315 we have it: let them not say,559 We have swallowed1104 him up.

26 Let them be ashamed954 and brought2659 to confusion2659 together3162 that rejoice8055 at my hurt:7451 let them be clothed3847 with shame1322 and dishonor3639 that magnify1431 themselves against5921 me.

27 Let them shout7442 for joy, and be glad,8056 that favor2655 my righteous6664 cause: yes, let them say559 continually,8548 Let the LORD3068 be magnified,1431 which has pleasure2655 in the prosperity7965 of his servant.5650

28 And my tongue3956 shall speak1897 of your righteousness6664 and of your praise8416 all3605 the day3117 long.

36

1 To the chief5329 Musician,5329 A Psalm of David1732 the servant5650 of the LORD.3068 The transgression6588 of the wicked7563 said5002 within7130 my heart,3820 that there is no369 fear6343 of God430 before5048 his eyes.5869

2 For he flatters2505 himself in his own eyes,5869 until his iniquity5771 be found4672 to be hateful.8130

3 The words1697 of his mouth6310 are iniquity205 and deceit:4820 he has left2308 off to be wise,7919 and to do good.3190

4 He devises2803 mischief205 on his bed;4904 he sets3320 himself in a way1870 that is not good;2896 he abhors3988 not evil.7451

5 Your mercy,2617 O LORD,3068 is in the heavens;8064 and your faithfulness530 reaches to the clouds.7834

6 Your righteousness6666 is like the great410 mountains;2042 your judgments4941 are a great7227 deep:8415 O LORD,3068 you preserve3467 man120 and beast.929

7 How4100 excellent3368 is your loving kindness,2617 O God!430 therefore the children1121 of men120 put their trust2620 under the shadow6738 of your wings.3671

8 They shall be abundantly7301 satisfied7301 with the fatness1880 of your house;1004 and you shall make them drink8248 of the river5158 of your pleasures.5730

9 For with you is the fountain4726 of life:2416 in your light216 shall we see7200 light.216

10 O continue4900 your loving kindness2617 to them that know3045 you; and your righteousness6666 to the upright3477 in heart.3820

11 Let not the foot7272 of pride1346 come935 against me, and let not the hand3027 of the wicked7563 remove5110 me.

12 There8033 are the workers6466 of iniquity205 fallen:5307 they are cast1760 down,1760 and shall not be able3201 to rise.6965

37

1 A Psalm of David.1732 Fret2734 not yourself because of evildoers,7489 neither408 be you envious7065 against the workers6213 of iniquity.5766

2 For they shall soon4120 be cut5243 down5243 like the grass,2682 and wither5034 as the green3418 herb.1877

3 Trust982 in the LORD,3068 and do6213 good;2896 so shall you dwell7931 in the land,776 and truly530 you shall be fed.7462

4 Delight6026 yourself also in the LORD:3068 and he shall give5414 you the desires4862 of your heart.3820

5 Commit1556 your way1870 to the LORD;3068 trust982 also in him; and he shall bring6213 it to pass.6213

6 And he shall bring3318 forth3318 your righteousness6664 as the light,216 and your judgment4941 as the noonday.6672

7 Rest1826 in the LORD,3068 and wait2342 patiently2342 for him: fret2734 not yourself because of him who prospers6743 in his way,1870 because of the man376 who brings6213 wicked4209 devices4209 to pass.6213

8 Cease7503 from anger,639 and forsake5800 wrath:2534 fret2734 not yourself in any wise to do evil.7489

9 For evildoers7489 shall be cut3772 off: but those that wait6960 on the LORD,3068 they shall inherit3423 the earth.776

10 For yet5750 a little4592 while, and the wicked7563 shall not be: yes, you shall diligently995 consider995 his place,4725 and it shall not be.

11 But the meek6035 shall inherit3423 the earth;776 and shall delight6026 themselves in the abundance7230 of peace.7965

12 The wicked7563 plots2161 against the just,6662 and gnashes2786 on him with his teeth.8127

13 The LORD136 shall laugh7832 at him: for he sees7200 that his day3117 is coming.935

14 The wicked7563 have drawn6605 out the sword,2719 and have bent1869 their bow,7198 to cast5307 down5307 the poor6041 and needy,34 and to slay2873 such as be of upright3477 conversation.1870

15 Their sword2719 shall enter935 into their own heart,3820 and their bows7198 shall be broken.7665

16 A little4592 that a righteous6662 man has is better2896 than the riches1995 of many7227 wicked.7563

17 For the arms2220 of the wicked7563 shall be broken:7665 but the LORD3068 upholds5564 the righteous.6662

18 The LORD3068 knows3045 the days3117 of the upright:8549 and their inheritance5159 shall be for ever.5769

19 They shall not be ashamed954 in the evil7451 time:6256 and in the days3117 of famine7459 they shall be satisfied.7646

20 But the wicked7563 shall perish,6 and the enemies341 of the LORD3068 shall be as the fat3368 of lambs:3733 they shall consume;3615 into smoke6227 shall they consume3615 away.

21 The wicked7563 borrows,3867 and pays7999 not again:7999 but the righteous6662 shows mercy,2603 and gives.5414

22 For such as be blessed1288 of him shall inherit3423 the earth;776 and they that be cursed7043 of him shall be cut3772 off.

23 The steps4703 of a good man1397 are ordered3559 by the LORD:3068 and he delights2654 in his way.1870

24 Though3588 he fall,5307 he shall not be utterly cast2904 down:2904 for the LORD3068 upholds5564 him with his hand.3027

25 I have been1961 young,5288 and now am old;2204 yet have I not seen7200 the righteous6662 forsaken,5800 nor his seed2233 begging1245 bread.3899

26 He is ever3605 3117 merciful,2603 and lends;3867 and his seed2233 is blessed.1293

27 Depart5493 from evil,7451 and do6213 good;2896 and dwell7931 for ever more.5769

28 For the LORD3068 loves157 judgment,4941 and forsakes5800 not his saints;2623 they are preserved8104 for ever:5769 but the seed2233 of the wicked7563 shall be cut3772 off.

29 The righteous6662 shall inherit3423 the land,776 and dwell7931 therein5921 for ever.5703

30 The mouth6310 of the righteous6662 speaks1897 wisdom,2451 and his tongue3956 talks1696 of judgment.4941

31 The law8451 of his God430 is in his heart;3820 none3808 of his steps838 shall slide.4571

32 The wicked7563 watches6822 the righteous,6662 and seeks1245 to slay4191 him.

33 The LORD3068 will not leave5800 him in his hand,3027 nor3808 condemn7561 him when he is judged.8199

34 Wait6960 on the LORD,3068 and keep8104 his way,1870 and he shall exalt7311 you to inherit3423 the land:776 when the wicked7563 are cut3772 off, you shall see7200 it.

35 I have seen7200 the wicked7563 in great power,6184 and spreading6168 himself like a green7488 bay249 tree.

36 Yet he passed5674 away, and, see,2009 he was not: yes, I sought1245 him, but he could not be found.4672

37 Mark8104 the perfect8535 man, and behold7200 the upright:3477 for the end319 of that man376 is peace.7965

38 But the transgressors6586 shall be destroyed8045 together:3162 the end319 of the wicked7563 shall be cut3772 off.

39 But the salvation8668 of the righteous6662 is of the LORD:3068 he is their strength4581 in the time6256 of trouble.6869

40 And the LORD3068 shall help5826 them, and deliver6403 them: he shall deliver6403 them from the wicked,7563 and save3467 them, because3588 they trust2620 in him.

38

1 A Psalm4210 of David,1732 to bring2142 to remembrance.2142 O lord,3068 rebuke3198 me not in your wrath:7110 neither chasten3256 me in your hot2534 displeasure.2534

2 For your arrows2671 stick5181 fast in me, and your hand3027 presses5181 me sore.

3 There is no369 soundness4974 in my flesh1320 because6440 of your anger;2195 neither369 is there any rest7965 in my bones6106 because6440 of my sin.2403

4 For my iniquities5771 are gone5674 over5674 my head:7218 as an heavy3515 burden4853 they are too heavy3513 for me.

5 My wounds2250 stink887 and are corrupt4743 because6440 of my foolishness.200

6 I am troubled;5753 I am bowed7817 down7817 greatly;3966 I go1980 mourning6937 all3605 the day3117 long.

7 For my loins3689 are filled4390 with a loathsome7033 disease: and there is no369 soundness4974 in my flesh.1320

8 I am feeble6313 and sore5704 3966 broken:1794 I have roared7580 by reason of the disquietness5100 of my heart.3820

9 Lord,136 all3605 my desire8378 is before5048 you; and my groaning585 is not hid5641 from you.

10 My heart3820 pants,5503 my strength3581 fails5800 me: as for the light216 of my eyes,5869 it also1571 is gone369 from me.

11 My lovers157 and my friends7453 stand5975 aloof5048 from my sore;5061 and my kinsmen7138 stand5975 afar7350 off.

12 They also that seek1245 after my life5315 lay snares5367 for me: and they that seek1875 my hurt7451 speak1696 mischievous1942 things, and imagine1897 deceits4820 all3605 the day3117 long.

13 But I, as a deaf2795 man, heard8085 not; and I was as a dumb483 man that opens6605 not his mouth.6310

14 Thus I was as a man376 that hears8085 not, and in whose mouth6310 are no369 reproofs.8433

15 For in you, O LORD,3068 do I hope:3176 you will hear,6030 O Lord136 my God.430

16 For I said,559 Hear6030 me, lest6435 otherwise they should rejoice8056 over me: when my foot7272 slips,4131 they magnify1431 themselves against5921 me.

17 For I am ready3559 to halt,6761 and my sorrow4341 is continually8548 before5048 me.

18 For I will declare5046 my iniquity;5771 I will be sorry1672 for my sin.2403

19 But my enemies341 are lively,2416 and they are strong:6105 and they that hate8130 me wrongfully8267 are multiplied.7231

20 They also that render7999 evil7451 for good2896 are my adversaries;7853 because8478 I follow7291 the thing that good2896 is.

21 Forsake5800 me not, O LORD:3068 O my God,430 be not far7368 from me.

22 Make haste2363 to help5833 me, O Lord136 my salvation.8668

39

1 To the chief5329 Musician,5329 even to Jeduthun,3038 A Psalm4210 of David.1732 I said,559 I will take heed8104 to my ways,1870 that I sin2398 not with my tongue:3956 I will keep8104 my mouth6310 with a bridle,4269 while5750 the wicked7563 is before5048 me.

2 I was dumb481 with silence,1747 I held2814 my peace,2814 even from good;2896 and my sorrow3511 was stirred.5916

3 My heart3820 was hot2552 within7130 me, while I was musing1901 the fire784 burned:1197 then spoke1696 I with my tongue,3956

4 LORD,3068 make me to know3045 my end,7093 and the measure4060 of my days,3117 what4310 it is: that I may know3045 how4100 frail2310 I am.

5 Behold,2009 you have made5414 my days3117 as an handbreadth;2947 and my age2465 is as nothing369 before5048 you: truly389 every3605 man120 at his best5324 state5324 is altogether3605 vanity.1892 Selah.5542

6 Surely389 every man376 walks1980 in a vain show:6754 surely389 they are disquieted1993 in vain:1892 he heaps6651 up riches, and knows3045 not who4310 shall gather622 them.

7 And now,6258 Lord,136 what4100 wait6960 I for? my hope8431 is in you.

8 Deliver5337 me from all3605 my transgressions:6588 make7760 me not the reproach2781 of the foolish.5036

9 I was dumb,481 I opened6605 not my mouth;6310 because3588 you did6213 it.

10 Remove5493 your stroke5061 away from me: I am consumed3615 by the blow8409 of your hand.3027

11 When you with rebukes8433 do correct3256 man376 for iniquity,5771 you make his beauty2530 to consume4529 away like a moth:6211 surely389 every3605 man120 is vanity.1892 Selah.5542

12 Hear8085 my prayer,8605 O LORD,3068 and give ear238 to my cry;7775 hold2790 not your peace2790 at413 my tears:1832 for I am a stranger1616 with you, and a sojourner,8453 as all3605 my fathers1 were.

13 O spare8159 me, that I may recover1082 strength,1082 before2962 I go3212 hence,2088 and be no369 more.

40

1 To the chief5329 Musician,5329 A Psalm4210 of David.1732 I waited6960 patiently6960 for the LORD;3068 and he inclined5186 to me, and heard8085 my cry.7775

2 He brought5927 me up also out of an horrible7588 pit,953 out of the miry3121 clay,2916 and set6965 my feet7272 on a rock,5553 and established3559 my goings.838

3 And he has put5414 a new2319 song7892 in my mouth,6310 even praise8416 to our God:430 many7227 shall see7200 it, and fear,3372 and shall trust982 in the LORD.3068

4 Blessed835 is that man1397 that makes7760 the LORD3068 his trust,4009 and respects6437 not the proud,7295 nor3808 such as turn7750 aside7847 to lies.3576

5 Many,7227 O LORD3068 my God,430 are your wonderful6381 works which you have done,6213 and your thoughts4284 which are to us-ward:413 they cannot408 be reckoned up in order6186 to you: if I would declare5046 and speak1696 of them, they are more6105 than can be numbered.5608

6 Sacrifice2077 and offering4503 you did not desire;2654 my ears241 have you opened:3738 burnt5930 offering and sin2401 offering have you not required.7592

7 Then227 said559 I, See,2009 I come:935 in the volume4039 of the book5612 it is written3789 of me,

8 I delight2654 to do6213 your will,7522 O my God:430 yes, your law8451 is within8432 my heart.4578

9 I have preached1319 righteousness6664 in the great7227 congregation:6951 see,2009 I have not refrained3607 my lips,8193 O LORD,3068 you know.3045

10 I have not hid3680 your righteousness6666 within8432 my heart;3820 I have declared559 your faithfulness530 and your salvation:8668 I have not concealed3582 your loving kindness2617 and your truth571 from the great7227 congregation.6951

11 Withhold3607 not you your tender mercies7356 from me, O LORD:3068 let your loving kindness2617 and your truth571 continually8548 preserve5341 me.

12 For innumerable369 4557 evils7451 have compassed661 me about: my iniquities5771 have taken5381 hold5381 on me, so that I am not able3201 to look7200 up; they are more6105 than the hairs8185 of my head:7218 therefore my heart3820 fails5800 me.

13 Be pleased,7521 O LORD,3068 to deliver5337 me: O LORD,3068 make haste2363 to help5833 me.

14 Let them be ashamed954 and confounded2659 together3162 that seek1245 after my soul5315 to destroy5595 it; let them be driven5472 backward268 and put to shame3637 that wish2655 me evil.7451

15 Let them be desolate8074 for a reward6118 of their shame1322 that say559 to me, Aha,253 aha.253

16 Let all3605 those that seek1245 you rejoice7797 and be glad in you: let such as love157 your salvation8668 say559 continually,8548 The LORD3068 be magnified.1431

17 But I am poor6041 and needy;34 yet the Lord136 thinks2803 on me: you are my help5833 and my deliverer;6403 make no408 tarrying,309 O my God.430

41

1 To the chief5329 Musician,5329 A Psalm4210 of David.1732 Blessed835 is he that considers7919 the poor:1800 the LORD3068 will deliver4422 him in time3117 of trouble.7451

2 The LORD3068 will preserve8104 him, and keep him alive;2421 and he shall be blessed833 on the earth:776 and you will not deliver5414 him to the will5315 of his enemies.341

3 The LORD3068 will strengthen5582 him on the bed6210 of languishing:1741 you will make2015 all3605 his bed4904 in his sickness.2483

4 I said,559 LORD,3068 be merciful2603 to me: heal7495 my soul;5315 for I have sinned2398 against you.

5 My enemies341 speak559 evil7451 of me, When4970 shall he die,4191 and his name8034 perish?6

6 And if518 he come935 to see7200 me, he speaks1696 vanity:7723 his heart3820 gathers6908 iniquity205 to itself; when he goes3318 abroad,2351 he tells1696 it.

7 All3605 that hate8130 me whisper3907 together3162 against5921 me: against5921 me do they devise2803 my hurt.7451

8 An evil1100 disease,1697 say they, sticks3332 fast to him: and now that he lies7901 he shall rise6965 up no3808 more.3254

9 Yes,1571 my own familiar7965 friend, in whom834 I trusted,982 which did eat398 of my bread,3899 has lifted1431 up his heel6119 against5921 me.

10 But you, O LORD,3068 be merciful2603 to me, and raise6965 me up, that I may requite7999 them.

11 By this2063 I know3045 that you favor2654 me, because3588 my enemy341 does not triumph7321 over5921 me.

12 And as for me, you uphold8551 me in my integrity,8537 and set5324 me before your face6440 for ever.5769

13 Blessed1288 be the LORD3068 God430 of Israel3478 from everlasting,5769 and to everlasting.5769 Amen,543 and Amen.543

42

1 To the chief5329 Musician,5329 Maschil,4905 for the sons1121 of Korah.7141 As the hart354 pants6165 after5921 the water4325 brooks,650 so3651 pants6165 my soul5315 after413 you, O God.430

2 My soul5315 thirsts6770 for God,430 for the living2416 God:410 when4970 shall I come935 and appear7200 before6440 God?430

3 My tears1832 have been1961 my meat3899 day3119 and night,3915 while they continually3605 3117 say559 to me, Where346 is your God?430

4 When I remember2142 these428 things, I pour8210 out my soul5315 in me: for I had gone5674 with the multitude,5519 I went1718 with them to the house1004 of God,430 with the voice6963 of joy7440 and praise,8426 with a multitude1995 that kept2287 holy day.2287

5 Why4100 are you cast7817 down,7817 O my soul?5315 and why are you disquieted1993 in me? hope3176 you in God:430 for I shall yet5750 praise3034 him for the help3444 of his countenance.6440

6 O my God,430 my soul5315 is cast7817 down7817 within5921 me: therefore5921 3651 will I remember2142 you from the land776 of Jordan,3383 and of the Hermonites,2769 from the hill2022 Mizar.4706

7 Deep8415 calls7121 to deep8415 at the noise6963 of your waterspouts:6794 all3605 your waves4867 and your billows1530 are gone5674 over5921 me.

8 Yet the LORD3068 will command6680 his loving kindness2617 in the day time,3119 and in the night3915 his song7892 shall be with me, and my prayer8605 to the God410 of my life.2416

9 I will say559 to God410 my rock,5553 Why4100 have you forgotten7911 me? why4100 go3212 I mourning6937 because of the oppression3906 of the enemy?341

10 As with a sword7524 in my bones,6106 my enemies6887 reproach2778 me; while they say559 daily3605 3117 to me, Where346 is your God?430

11 Why4100 are you cast7817 down,7817 O my soul?5315 and why4100 are you disquieted1993 within5921 me? hope3176 you in God:430 for I shall yet5750 praise3034 him, who is the health3444 of my countenance,6440 and my God.430

43

1 Judge8199 me, O God,430 and plead7378 my cause7379 against an ungodly3808 2623 nation:1471 O deliver6403 me from the deceitful4820 and unjust5766 man.376

2 For you are the God430 of my strength:4581 why4100 do you cast2186 me off? why4100 go1980 I mourning6937 because of the oppression3906 of the enemy?341

3 O send7971 out your light216 and your truth:571 let them lead5148 me; let them bring935 me to your holy6944 hill,2022 and to your tabernacles.4908

4 Then will I go935 to the altar4196 of God,430 to God410 my exceeding8057 joy:1524 yes, on the harp3658 will I praise3034 you, O God430 my God.430

5 Why4100 are you cast7817 down,7817 O my soul?5315 and why4100 are you disquieted1993 within5921 me? hope3176 in God:430 for I shall yet5750 praise3034 him, who is the health3444 of my countenance,6440 and my God.430

44

1 To the chief5329 Musician5329 for the sons1121 of Korah,7141 Maschil.4905 We have heard8085 with our ears,241 O God,430 our fathers1 have told5608 us, what work6467 you did6466 in their days,3117 in the times3117 of old.6924

2 How you did drive3423 out the heathen1471 with your hand,3027 and planted5193 them; how you did afflict7489 the people,3816 and cast7971 them out.

3 For they got3423 not the land776 in possession3423 by their own sword,2719 neither3808 did their own arm2220 save3467 them: but your right3225 hand,3225 and your arm,2220 and the light216 of your countenance,6440 because3588 you had a favor7522 to them.

4 You are my King,4428 O God:430 command6680 deliverances3444 for Jacob.3290

5 Through you will we push5055 down our enemies:6862 through your name8034 will we tread947 them under that rise6965 up against us.

6 For I will not trust982 in my bow,7198 neither3808 shall my sword2719 save3467 me.

7 But you have saved3467 us from our enemies,6862 and have put them to shame954 that hated8130 us.

8 In God430 we boast1984 all3605 the day3117 long, and praise3034 your name8034 for ever.5769 Selah.5542

9 But you have cast2186 off, and put us to shame;3637 and go3318 not forth3318 with our armies.6635

10 You make us to turn7725 back268 from the enemy:6862 and they which hate8130 us spoil8154 for themselves.

11 You have given5414 us like sheep6629 appointed for meat;3978 and have scattered2219 us among the heathen.1471

12 You sell4376 your people5971 for nothing,3808 1952 and do not increase7235 your wealth by their price.4242

13 You make6213 us a reproach2781 to our neighbors,7934 a scorn3933 and a derision7047 to them that are round5439 about us.

14 You make6213 us a byword4912 among the heathen,1471 a shaking4493 of the head7218 among the people.3816

15 My confusion3639 is continually3117 before5048 me, and the shame1322 of my face6440 has covered3680 me,

16 For the voice6963 of him that reproaches2778 and blasphemes;1442 by reason6440 of the enemy341 and avenger.5358

17 All3605 this2063 is come935 on us; yet have we not forgotten7911 you, neither3808 have we dealt falsely8266 in your covenant.1285

18 Our heart3820 is not turned5472 back,268 neither have our steps838 declined5186 from your way;734

19 Though3588 you have sore broken1794 us in the place4725 of dragons,8577 and covered3680 us with the shadow6757 of death.6757

20 If518 we have forgotten7911 the name8034 of our God,430 or stretched6566 out our hands3709 to a strange2114 god;410

21 Shall not God430 search2713 this2063 out? for he knows3045 the secrets8587 of the heart.3820

22 Yes,3588 for your sake are we killed2026 all3605 the day3117 long; we are counted2803 as sheep6629 for the slaughter.2878

23 Awake,5782 why4100 sleep3462 you, O Lord?136 arise,6974 cast2186 us not off for ever.5331

24 Why4100 hide5641 you your face,6440 and forget7911 our affliction6040 and our oppression?3906

25 For our soul5315 is bowed7743 down7743 to the dust:6083 our belly990 sticks1692 to the earth.776

26 Arise6965 for our help,5833 and redeem6299 us for your mercies'2617 sake.4616

45

1 To the chief5329 Musician5329 upon Shoshannim,7799 for the sons1121 of Korah,7141 Maschil,4905 A Song7892 of loves.3039 My heart3820 is gushing7370 a good2896 matter:1697 I speak559 of the things which I have made4639 touching the king:4428 my tongue3956 is the pen5842 of a ready4106 writer.5608

2 You are fairer3302 than the children1121 of men:120 grace2580 is poured3332 into your lips:8193 therefore5921 3651 God430 has blessed1288 you for ever.5769

3 Gird2296 your sword2719 on your thigh,3409 O most mighty,1368 with your glory1935 and your majesty.1926

4 And in your majesty1926 ride7392 prosperously6743 because5921 1697 of truth571 and meekness6037 and righteousness;6664 and your right3225 hand3225 shall teach3384 you terrible3372 things.

5 Your arrows2671 are sharp8150 in the heart3820 of the king's4428 enemies;341 whereby the people5971 fall5307 under8478 you.

6 Your throne,3678 O God,430 is for ever5769 and ever:5703 the scepter7626 of your kingdom4438 is a right4334 scepter.7626

7 You love157 righteousness,6664 and hate8130 wickedness:7562 therefore5921 3651 God,430 your God,430 has anointed4886 you with the oil8081 of gladness8342 above your fellows.2270

8 All3605 your garments899 smell of myrrh,4753 and aloes,174 and cassia,7102 out of the ivory8127 palaces,1964 whereby4482 they have made you glad.8056

9 Kings'4428 daughters1323 were among your honorable3368 women: on your right3225 hand3225 did stand5324 the queen7694 in gold3800 of Ophir.211

10 Listen,8085 O daughter,1323 and consider,7200 and incline5186 your ear;241 forget7911 also your own people,5971 and your father's1 house;1004

11 So shall the king4428 greatly desire183 your beauty:3308 for he is your Lord;113 and worship7812 you him.

12 And the daughter1323 of Tyre6865 shall be there with a gift;4503 even the rich6223 among the people5971 shall entreat2470 your favor.6440

13 The king's4428 daughter1323 is all3605 glorious3520 within:6441 her clothing3830 is of worked4865 gold.2091

14 She shall be brought2986 to the king4428 in raiment7553 of needlework:7553 the virgins1330 her companions7464 that follow310 her shall be brought935 to you.

15 With gladness8057 and rejoicing1524 shall they be brought:2986 they shall enter935 into the king's4428 palace.1964

16 Instead8478 of your fathers1 shall be your children,1121 whom you may make princes8269 in all3605 the earth.776

17 I will make your name8034 to be remembered2142 in all3605 generations:1755 therefore5921 3651 shall the people5971 praise3034 you for ever5769 and ever.5703

46

1 To the chief5329 Musician5329 for the sons1121 of Korah,7141 A Song7892 upon Alamoth.5961 God430 is our refuge4268 and strength,5797 a very3966 present4672 help5833 in trouble.6869

2 Therefore5921 3651 will not we fear,3372 though the earth776 be removed,4171 and though the mountains2022 be carried4131 into the middle3820 of the sea;3220

3 Though the waters4325 thereof roar1993 and be troubled,2560 though the mountains2022 shake7493 with the swelling1346 thereof. Selah.5542

4 There is a river,5104 the streams6388 whereof shall make glad8056 the city5892 of God,430 the holy6918 place of the tabernacles4908 of the most5945 High.5945

5 God430 is in the middle7130 of her; she shall not be moved:4131 God430 shall help5826 her, and that right6437 early.1242

6 The heathen1471 raged,1993 the kingdoms4467 were moved:4131 he uttered5414 his voice,6963 the earth776 melted.4127

7 The LORD3068 of hosts6635 is with us; the God430 of Jacob3290 is our refuge.4869 Selah.5542

8 Come,3212 behold2372 the works4659 of the LORD,3068 what834 desolations8047 he has made7760 in the earth.776

9 He makes wars4421 to cease7673 to the end7097 of the earth;776 he breaks7665 the bow,7198 and cuts7112 the spear2595 in sunder; he burns8313 the chariot5699 in the fire.784

10 Be still,7503 and know3045 that I am God:430 I will be exalted7311 among the heathen,1471 I will be exalted7311 in the earth.776

11 The LORD3068 of hosts6635 is with us; the God430 of Jacob3290 is our refuge.4869 Selah.5542

47

1 To the chief5329 Musician,5329 A Psalm4210 for the sons1121 of Korah.7141 O clap8628 your hands,3709 all3605 you people;5971 shout7321 to God430 with the voice6963 of triumph.7440

2 For the LORD3068 most5945 high5945 is terrible;3372 he is a great1419 King4428 over5921 all3605 the earth.776

3 He shall subdue1696 the people5971 under8478 us, and the nations3816 under8478 our feet.7272

4 He shall choose977 our inheritance5159 for us, the excellency1347 of Jacob3290 whom834 he loved.157 Selah.5542

5 God430 is gone5927 up with a shout,8643 the LORD3068 with the sound6963 of a trumpet.7782

6 Sing2167 praises to God,430 sing2167 praises: sing2167 praises to our King,4428 sing2167 praises.

7 For God430 is the King4428 of all3605 the earth:776 sing2167 you praises with understanding.7919

8 God430 reigns4427 over5921 the heathen:1471 God430 sits3427 on the throne3678 of his holiness.6944

9 The princes5081 of the people5971 are gathered622 together,3162 even the people5971 of the God430 of Abraham:85 for the shields4043 of the earth776 belong to God:430 he is greatly3966 exalted.5927

48

1 A Song7892 and Psalm4210 for the sons1121 of Korah.7141 Great1419 is the LORD,3068 and greatly3966 to be praised1984 in the city5892 of our God,430 in the mountain2022 of his holiness.6944

2 Beautiful3303 for situation,5131 the joy4885 of the whole3605 earth,776 is mount2022 Zion,6726 on the sides3411 of the north,6828 the city7151 of the great7227 King.4428

3 God430 is known3045 in her palaces759 for a refuge.4869

4 For, see,2009 the kings4428 were assembled,3259 they passed5674 by together.3162

5 They saw7200 it, and so3651 they marveled;8539 they were troubled,926 and hurried2648 away.

6 Fear7461 took hold270 on them there,8033 and pain,2427 as of a woman in travail.3205

7 You break7665 the ships591 of Tarshish8659 with an east6921 wind.7307

8 As we have heard,8085 so3651 have we seen7200 in the city5892 of the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 in the city5892 of our God:430 God430 will establish3559 it for ever.5769 Selah.5542

9 We have thought1819 of your loving kindness,2617 O God,430 in the middle7130 of your temple.1964

10 According to your name,8034 O God,430 so3651 is your praise8416 to the ends7099 of the earth:776 your right3225 hand3225 is full4390 of righteousness.6664

11 Let mount2022 Zion6726 rejoice,8055 let the daughters1323 of Judah3063 be glad,1523 because4616 of your judgments.4941

12 Walk5437 about5439 Zion,6726 and go5362 round5362 about her: tell5608 the towers4026 thereof.

13 Mark7896 you well her bulwarks,2430 consider6448 her palaces;759 that you may tell5608 it to the generation1755 following.314

14 For this2088 God430 is our God430 for ever5703 and ever:5703 he will be our guide5090 even to death.4192

1 To the chief5329 Musician,5329 A Psalm4210 for the sons1121 of Korah.7141 Hear8085 this,2063 all3605 you people;5971 give ear,238 all3605 you inhabitants3427 of the world:2465

2 Both1571 low120 and high,376 rich6223 and poor,34 together.3162

3 My mouth6310 shall speak1696 of wisdom;2454 and the meditation1900 of my heart3820 shall be of understanding.8394

4 I will incline5186 my ear241 to a parable:4912 I will open6605 my dark2420 saying2420 on the harp.3658

5 Why4100 should I fear3372 in the days3117 of evil,7451 when the iniquity5771 of my heels6120 shall compass5437 me about?

6 They that trust982 in their wealth,2428 and boast1984 themselves in the multitude7230 of their riches;6239

7 None376 3808 of them can by any means redeem6299 his brother,251 nor3808 give5414 to God430 a ransom3724 for him:

8 (For the redemption6306 of their soul5315 is precious,3365 and it ceases2308 for ever:5769)

9 That he should still5750 live2421 for ever,5331 and not see7200 corruption.7845

10 For he sees7200 that wise2450 men die,4191 likewise the fool3684 and the brutish1197 person perish,6 and leave5800 their wealth2428 to others.312

11 Their inward7130 thought is, that their houses1004 shall continue for ever,5769 and their dwelling4908 places to all generations;1755 they call7121 their lands127 after their own names.8034

12 Nevertheless man120 being in honor3366 stays3885 not: he is like4911 the beasts929 that perish.1820

13 This2088 their way1870 is their folly:3689 yet their posterity310 approve7521 their sayings.6310 Selah.5542

14 Like sheep6629 they are laid8371 in the grave;7585 death4194 shall feed7462 on them; and the upright3477 shall have dominion7287 over them in the morning;1242 and their beauty6736 shall consume1086 in the grave7585 from their dwelling.2073

15 But God430 will redeem6299 my soul5315 from the power3027 of the grave:7585 for he shall receive3947 me. Selah.5542

16 Be not you afraid3372 when3588 one376 is made rich,6238 when3588 the glory3519 of his house1004 is increased;7235

17 For when3588 he dies4194 he shall carry3947 nothing3808 3605 away: his glory3519 shall not descend3381 after310 him.

18 Though3588 while he lived2416 he blessed1288 his soul:5315 and men will praise3034 you, when3588 you do well3190 to yourself.

19 He shall go935 to the generation1755 of his fathers;1 they shall never5704 see7200 light.216

20 Man120 that is in honor,3366 and understands995 not, is like4911 the beasts929 that perish.1820

1 A Psalm4210 of Asaph.623 The mighty410 God,430 even the LORD,3068 has spoken,1696 and called7121 the earth776 from the rising4217 of the sun8121 to the going3996 down thereof.

2 Out of Zion,6726 the perfection4359 of beauty,3308 God430 has shined.3313

3 Our God430 shall come,935 and shall not keep silence:2790 a fire784 shall devour398 before6440 him, and it shall be very3966 tempestuous8175 round5439 about him.

4 He shall call7121 to the heavens8064 from above,5921 and to the earth,776 that he may judge1777 his people.5971

5 Gather622 my saints2623 together to me; those that have made3772 a covenant1285 with me by sacrifice.2077

6 And the heavens8064 shall declare5046 his righteousness:6664 for God430 is judge8199 himself.1931 Selah.5542

7 Hear,8085 O my people,5971 and I will speak;1696 O Israel,3478 and I will testify5749 against you: I am God,430 even your God.430

8 I will not reprove3198 you for your sacrifices2077 or your burnt5930 offerings, to have been continually8548 before5048 me.

9 I will take3947 no3808 bullock6499 out of your house,1004 nor he goats6260 out of your folds.4356

10 For every3605 beast2416 of the forest3293 is mine, and the cattle929 on a thousand505 hills.2042

11 I know3045 all3605 the fowls5775 of the mountains:2022 and the wild2123 beasts2123 of the field7704 are mine.5978

12 If518 I were hungry,7456 I would not tell559 you: for the world8398 is mine, and the fullness4393 thereof.

13 Will I eat398 the flesh1320 of bulls,47 or drink8354 the blood1818 of goats?6260

14 Offer2076 to God430 thanksgiving;8426 and pay7999 your vows5088 to the most5945 High:5945

15 And call7121 on me in the day3117 of trouble:6869 I will deliver2502 you, and you shall glorify3513 me.

16 But to the wicked7563 God430 said,559 What4100 have you to do to declare5608 my statutes,2706 or that you should take5375 my covenant1285 in your mouth?6310

17 Seeing you hate8130 instruction,4148 and casts7993 my words1697 behind310 you.

18 When518 you saw7200 a thief,1590 then you consented7521 with him, and have been partaker2506 with adulterers.5003

19 You give7971 your mouth6310 to evil,7451 and your tongue3956 frames6775 deceit.4820

20 You sit3427 and speak1696 against your brother;251 you slander5414 1848 your own mother's517 son.1121

21 These428 things have you done,6213 and I kept2790 silence;2790 you thought1819 that I was altogether such an one as yourself: but I will reprove3198 you, and set them in order6186 before your eyes.5869

22 Now4994 consider995 this,2063 you that forget7911 God,433 lest6435 I tear2963 you in pieces, and there be none369 to deliver.5337

23 Whoever offers2076 praise8426 glorifies3513 me: and to him that orders7760 his conversation1870 aright will I show7200 the salvation3468 of God.430

51

1 To the chief5329 Musician,5329 A Psalm4210 of David,1732 when Nathan5416 the prophet5030 came935 unto him, after834 he had gone935 in to Bathsheba.1339 Have mercy2603 on me, O God,430 according to your loving kindness:2617 according to the multitude7230 of your tender mercies7356 blot4229 out my transgressions.6588

2 Wash3526 me thoroughly7235 from my iniquity,5771 and cleanse5352 me from my sin.2403

3 For I acknowledge3045 my transgressions:6588 and my sin2403 is ever8548 before5048 me.

4 Against you, you only,905 have I sinned,2398 and done6213 this2063 evil7451 in your sight:5869 that you might be justified6663 when you speak,1696 and be clear2135 when you judge.8199

5 Behold,2005 I was shaped2342 in iniquity;5771 and in sin2399 did my mother517 conceive3179 me.

6 Behold,2005 you desire2654 truth571 in the inward2910 parts: and in the hidden5640 part you shall make me to know3045 wisdom.2451

7 Purge2398 me with hyssop,231 and I shall be clean:2891 wash3526 me, and I shall be whiter3835 than snow.7950

8 Make me to hear8085 joy8342 and gladness;8057 that the bones6106 which you have broken1794 may rejoice.1523

9 Hide5641 your face6440 from my sins,2399 and blot4229 out all3605 my iniquities.5771

10 Create1254 in me a clean2889 heart,3820 O God;430 and renew2318 a right3559 spirit7307 within7130 me.

11 Cast7993 me not away from your presence;6440 and take3947 not your holy6944 spirit7307 from me.

12 Restore7725 to me the joy8342 of your salvation;3468 and uphold5564 me with your free5081 spirit.7307

13 Then will I teach3925 transgressors6586 your ways;1870 and sinners2400 shall be converted7725 to you.

14 Deliver5337 me from bloodguiltiness,1818 O God,430 you God430 of my salvation:8668 and my tongue3956 shall sing7442 aloud7442 of your righteousness.6666

15 O Lord,136 open6605 you my lips;8193 and my mouth6310 shall show5046 forth your praise.8416

16 For you desire2654 not sacrifice;2077 else would I give5414 it: you delight7521 not in burnt5930 offering.

17 The sacrifices2077 of God430 are a broken7665 spirit:7307 a broken7665 and a contrite1794 heart,3820 O God,430 you will not despise.959

18 Do good3190 in your good pleasure7522 to Zion:6726 build1129 you the walls2346 of Jerusalem.3389

19 Then227 shall you be pleased2654 with the sacrifices2077 of righteousness,6664 with burnt5930 offering and whole3632 burnt5930 offering: then227 shall they offer5927 bullocks6499 on your altar.4196

1 To the chief5329 Musician,5329 Maschil,4905 A Psalm of David,1732 when Doeg1673 the Edomite130 came935 and told5046 Saul,7586 and said559 unto him, David1732 is come935 to the house1004 of Ahimelech.288 Why4100 boast1984 you yourself in mischief,7451 O mighty1368 man? the goodness2617 of God410 endures continually.3605 3117

2 The tongue3956 devises2803 mischiefs;1942 like a sharp3913 razor,8593 working6213 deceitfully.7423

3 You love157 evil7451 more than good;2896 and lying8267 rather than to speak1696 righteousness.6664 Selah.5542

4 You love157 all3605 devouring1105 words,1697 O you deceitful4820 tongue.3956

5 God410 shall likewise1571 destroy5422 you for ever,5331 he shall take2846 you away,2846 and pluck5255 you out of your dwelling168 place, and root8327 you out of the land776 of the living.2416 Selah.5542

6 The righteous6662 also shall see,7200 and fear,3372 and shall laugh7832 at5921 him:

7 See,2009 this is the man1397 that made7760 not God430 his strength;4581 but trusted982 in the abundance7230 of his riches,6239 and strengthened5810 himself in his wickedness.1942

8 But I am like a green7488 olive2132 tree in the house1004 of God:430 I trust982 in the mercy2617 of God430 for ever5769 and ever.5703

9 I will praise3034 you for ever,5769 because3588 you have done6213 it: and I will wait6960 on your name;8034 for it is good2896 before5048 your saints.2623

53

1 To the chief5329 Musician5329 upon Mahalath,4257 Maschil,4905 A Psalm of David.1732 The fool5036 has said559 in his heart,3820 There is no369 God.430 Corrupt7843 are they, and have done abominable8581 iniquity:5766 there is none369 that does6213 good.2896

2 God430 looked8259 down from heaven8064 on the children1121 of men,120 to see7200 if there were any that did understand,7919 that did seek1875 God.430

3 Every3605 one of them is gone5472 back:5472 they are altogether3162 become444 filthy;444 there is none369 that does6213 good,2896 no, not one.259

4 Have the workers6466 of iniquity205 no3808 knowledge?3045 who eat398 up my people5971 as they eat398 bread:3899 they have not called7121 on God.430

5 There8033 were they in great fear,6343 where no3808 fear6343 was: for God430 has scattered6340 the bones6106 of him that encamps2583 against you: you have put them to shame,954 because3588 God430 has despised3988 them.

6 Oh that the salvation3444 of Israel3478 were come out of Zion!6726 When God430 brings7725 back7725 the captivity7622 of his people,5971 Jacob3290 shall rejoice,1523 and Israel3478 shall be glad.8056

54

1 To the chief5329 Musician5329 on Neginoth,5058 Maschil,4905 A Psalm of David,1732 when the Ziphims2130 came935 and said559 to Saul,7586 Doth not David1732 hide5641 himself with us? Save3467 me, O God,430 by your name,8034 and judge1777 me by your strength.1369

2 Hear8085 my prayer,8605 O God;430 give ear238 to the words561 of my mouth.6310

3 For strangers2114 are risen6965 up against5921 me, and oppressors6184 seek1245 after my soul:5315 they have not set7760 God430 before5048 them. Selah.5542

4 Behold,2009 God430 is my helper:5826 the Lord136 is with them that uphold5564 my soul.5315

5 He shall reward7725 evil7451 to my enemies:8324 cut6789 them off in your truth.571

6 I will freely5071 sacrifice2076 to you: I will praise3034 your name,8034 O LORD;3068 for it is good.2896

7 For he has delivered5337 me out of all3605 trouble:6869 and my eye5869 has seen7200 his desire on my enemies.341

55

1 To the chief5329 Musician5329 on Neginoth,5058 Maschil,4905 A Psalm of David.1732 Give ear238 to my prayer,8605 O God;430 and hide5956 not yourself from my supplication.8467

2 Attend7181 to me, and hear6030 me: I mourn7300 in my complaint,7879 and make a noise;1949

3 Because of the voice6963 of the enemy,341 because6440 of the oppression6125 of the wicked:7563 for they cast4131 iniquity205 on me, and in wrath639 they hate7852 me.

4 My heart3820 is sore pained2342 within7130 me: and the terrors367 of death4194 are fallen5307 on me.

5 Fearfulness3374 and trembling7460 are come935 on me, and horror6427 has overwhelmed3680 me.

6 And I said,559 Oh that I had wings83 like a dove!3123 for then would I fly5774 away, and be at rest.7931

7 See,2009 then would I wander5074 far7368 off, and remain3885 in the wilderness.4057 Selah.5542

8 I would hasten2363 my escape4655 from the windy7307 storm5584 and tempest.5591

9 Destroy,1104 O Lord,136 and divide6385 their tongues:3956 for I have seen7200 violence2555 and strife7379 in the city.5892

10 Day3119 and night3915 they go5437 about5437 it on the walls2346 thereof: mischief205 also and sorrow5999 are in the middle7130 of it.

11 Wickedness1942 is in the middle7130 thereof: deceit8496 and guile4820 depart4185 not from her streets.7339

12 For it was not an enemy341 that reproached2778 me; then I could have borne5375 it: neither3808 was it he that hated8130 me that did magnify1431 himself against5921 me; then I would have hid5641 myself from him:

13 But it was you, a man582 my equal,6187 my guide,441 and my acquaintance.3045

14 We took sweet4985 counsel5475 together,3162 and walked1980 to the house1004 of God430 in company.7285

15 Let death4194 seize3451 on them, and let them go3381 down3381 quick2416 into hell:7585 for wickedness7451 is in their dwellings,4033 and among7130 them.

16 As for me, I will call7121 on God;430 and the LORD3068 shall save3467 me.

17 Evening,6153 and morning,1242 and at noon,6672 will I pray,7878 and cry1993 aloud:1993 and he shall hear8085 my voice.6963

18 He has delivered6299 my soul5315 in peace7965 from the battle7128 that was against me: for there were many7227 with me.

19 God410 shall hear,8085 and afflict6031 them, even he that stays3427 of old.6924 Selah.5542 Because834 they have no369 changes,2487 therefore they fear3372 not God.430

20 He has put7971 forth7971 his hands3027 against such as be at peace7965 with him: he has broken2490 his covenant.1285

21 The words of his mouth6310 were smoother2505 than butter,4260 but war7128 was in his heart:3820 his words1697 were softer7401 than oil,8081 yet were they drawn6609 swords.6609

22 Cast7993 your burden3053 on the LORD,3068 and he shall sustain3557 you: he shall never3808 5769 suffer5414 the righteous6662 to be moved.4131

23 But you, O God,430 shall bring3381 them down3381 into the pit875 of destruction:7845 bloody1818 and deceitful4820 men582 shall not live out half2673 their days;3117 but I will trust982 in you.

56

1 To the chief5329 Musician5329 upon Jonathelemrechokim,3128 Michtam4387 of David,1732 when the Philistines6430 took270 him in Gath.1661 Be merciful2603 to me, O God:430 for man582 would swallow7602 me up; he fighting3898 daily3117 oppresses3905 me.

2 My enemies8324 would daily3605 3117 swallow7602 me up: for they be many7227 that fight3898 against me, O you most4791 High.4791

3 What time3117 I am afraid,3372 I will trust982 in you.

4 In God430 I will praise1984 his word,1697 in God430 I have put my trust;982 I will not fear3372 what4100 flesh1320 can do6213 to me.

5 Every3605 day3117 they wrest6087 my words:1697 all3605 their thoughts4284 are against5921 me for evil.7451

6 They gather1481 themselves together,3162 they hide6845 themselves, they mark8104 my steps,6119 when834 they wait6960 for my soul.5315

7 Shall they escape6405 by iniquity?205 in your anger639 cast3381 down the people,5971 O God.430

8 You tell5608 my wanderings:5112 put5414 you my tears1832 into your bottle:4997 are they not in your book?5612

9 When I cry7121 to you, then227 shall my enemies341 turn7725 back:268 this2088 I know;3045 for God430 is for me.

10 In God430 will I praise1984 his word:1697 in the LORD3068 will I praise1984 his word.1697

11 In God430 have I put my trust:982 I will not be afraid3372 what4100 man120 can do6213 to me.

12 Your vows5088 are on me, O God:430 I will render7999 praises8426 to you.

13 For you have delivered5337 my soul5315 from death:4194 will not you deliver5337 my feet7272 from falling,1762 that I may walk1980 before6440 God430 in the light216 of the living?2416

57

1 To the chief5329 Musician,5329 Altaschith,516 Michtam4387 of David,1732 when he fled1272 from Saul7586 in the cave.4631 Be merciful2603 to me, O God,430 be merciful2603 to me: for my soul5315 trusts2620 in you: yes, in the shadow6738 of your wings3671 will I make my refuge,2620 until5704 these calamities1942 be over.5674

2 I will cry7121 to God430 most5945 high;5945 to God410 that performes1584 all3605 things for me.

3 He shall send7971 from heaven,8064 and save3467 me from the reproach2778 of him that would swallow7602 me up. Selah.5542 God430 shall send7971 forth his mercy2617 and his truth.571

4 My soul5315 is among8432 lions:3833 and I lie7901 even among them that are set on fire,3857 even the sons1121 of men,120 whose teeth8127 are spears2595 and arrows,2671 and their tongue3956 a sharp2299 sword.2719

5 Be you exalted,7311 O God,430 above5921 the heavens;8064 let your glory3519 be above5921 all3605 the earth.776

6 They have prepared3559 a net7568 for my steps;6471 my soul5315 is bowed3721 down: they have dig3738 a pit7882 before6440 me, into the middle8432 whereof they are fallen5307 themselves. Selah.5542

7 My heart3820 is fixed,3559 O God,430 my heart3820 is fixed:3559 I will sing7891 and give praise.2167

8 Awake5782 up, my glory;3519 awake,5782 psaltery5035 and harp:3658 I myself will awake5782 early.7837

9 I will praise3034 you, O Lord,136 among the people:5971 I will sing2167 to you among the nations.3816

10 For your mercy2617 is great1419 to the heavens,8064 and your truth571 to the clouds.7834

11 Be you exalted,7311 O God,430 above5921 the heavens:8064 let your glory3519 be above5921 all3605 the earth.776

58

1 To the chief5329 Musician,5329 Altaschith,516 Michtam4387 of David.1732 Do you indeed552 speak1696 righteousness,6664 O congregation?482 do you judge8199 uprightly,4339 O you sons1121 of men?120

2 Yes,637 in heart3820 you work6466 wickedness;5766 you weigh6424 the violence2555 of your hands3027 in the earth.776

3 The wicked7563 are estranged2114 from the womb:7358 they go8582 astray8582 as soon as they be born,990 speaking1696 lies.3576

4 Their poison2534 is like1823 the poison2534 of a serpent:5175 they are like3644 the deaf2795 adder6620 that stops331 her ear;241

5 Which834 will not listen8085 to the voice6963 of charmers,3907 charming2266 2267 never so wisely.2449

6 Break2040 their teeth,8127 O God,430 in their mouth:6310 break5422 out the great4459 teeth4973 of the young3715 lions,3715 O LORD.3068

7 Let them melt3988 away as waters4325 which run1980 continually: when he bends1869 his bow to shoot his arrows,2671 let them be as cut4135 in pieces.

8 As a snail7642 which melts,8557 let every one of them pass1980 away: like the untimely5309 birth5309 of a woman,802 that they may not see2372 the sun.8121

9 Before2962 your pots5518 can feel995 the thorns,329 he shall take8175 them away as with a whirlwind,8175 both living,2416 and in his wrath.2740

10 The righteous6662 shall rejoice8055 when3588 he sees2372 the vengeance:5359 he shall wash7364 his feet6471 in the blood1818 of the wicked.7563

11 So that a man120 shall say,559 Truly389 there is a reward6529 for the righteous:6662 truly389 he is a God430 that judges8199 in the earth.776

59

1 To the chief5329 Musician,5329 Altaschith,516 Michtam4387 of David;1732 when Saul7586 sent,7971 and they watched8104 the house1004 to kill4191 him. Deliver5337 me from my enemies,341 O my God:430 defend7682 me from them that rise6965 up against me.

2 Deliver5337 me from the workers6466 of iniquity,205 and save3467 me from bloody1818 men.582

3 For, see,2009 they lie in wait693 for my soul:5315 the mighty5794 are gathered1481 against5921 me; not for my transgression,6588 nor3808 for my sin,2403 O LORD.3068

4 They run7323 and prepare3559 themselves without1097 my fault:5771 awake5782 to help7125 me, and behold.7200

5 You therefore, O LORD3068 God430 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel,3478 awake6974 to visit6485 all3605 the heathen:1471 be not merciful2603 to any3605 wicked205 transgressors.898 Selah.5542

6 They return7725 at evening:6153 they make a noise1993 like a dog,3611 and go5437 round5437 about the city.5892

7 Behold,2009 they belch5042 out with their mouth:6310 swords2719 are in their lips:8193 for who,4310 say they, does hear?8085

8 But you, O LORD,3068 shall laugh7832 at them; you shall have all3605 the heathen1471 in derision.3932

9 Because of his strength5797 will I wait8104 on you: for God430 is my defense.4869

10 The God430 of my mercy2617 shall prevent6923 me: God430 shall let me see7200 my desire on my enemies.8324

11 Slay2026 them not, lest6435 my people5971 forget:7911 scatter5128 them by your power;2428 and bring3381 them down,3381 O Lord136 our shield.4043

12 For the sin2403 of their mouth6310 and the words1697 of their lips8193 let them even be taken3920 in their pride:1347 and for cursing423 and lying3585 which they speak.5608

13 Consume3615 them in wrath,2534 consume3615 them, that they may not be: and let them know3045 that God430 rules4910 in Jacob3290 to the ends657 of the earth.776 Selah.5542

14 And at evening6153 let them return;7725 and let them make a noise1993 like a dog,3611 and go5437 round5437 about the city.5892

15 Let them wander5128 up and down for meat,398 and grudge3885 if518 they be not satisfied.7646

16 But I will sing7891 of your power;5797 yes, I will sing7442 aloud7442 of your mercy2617 in the morning:1242 for you have been1961 my defense4869 and refuge4498 in the day3117 of my trouble.6862

17 To you, O my strength,5797 will I sing:2167 for God430 is my defense,4869 and the God430 of my mercy.2617

1 To the chief5329 Musician5329 upon Shushaneduth,7802 Michtam4387 of David,1732 to teach;3925 when he strove5327 with Aramnaharaim763 and with Aramzobah,760 when Joab3097 returned,7725 and smote5221 of Edom123 in the valley1516 of salt4417 twelve8147 6240 thousand.505 O God,430 you have cast2186 us off, you have scattered6555 us, you have been displeased;599 O turn7725 yourself to us again.7725

2 You have made the earth776 to tremble;7493 you have broken6480 it: heal7495 the breaches7667 thereof; for it shakes.4131

3 You have showed your people5971 hard7186 things: you have made us to drink8248 the wine3196 of astonishment.8653

4 You have given5414 a banner5251 to them that fear3373 you, that it may be displayed5127 because6440 of the truth.7189 Selah.5542

5 That your beloved3039 may be delivered;2502 save3467 with your right3225 hand,3225 and hear6030 me.

6 God430 has spoken1696 in his holiness;6944 I will rejoice,5937 I will divide2505 Shechem,7927 and mete4058 out the valley6010 of Succoth.5523

7 Gilead1568 is mine, and Manasseh4519 is mine; Ephraim669 also is the strength4581 of my head;7218 Judah3063 is my lawgiver;2710

8 Moab4124 is my wash pot;5518 7366 over5921 Edom123 will I cast7993 out my shoe:5275 Philistia,6429 triumph7321 you because5921 of me.

9 Who4310 will bring2986 me into the strong4692 city?5892 who4310 will lead5148 me into5704 Edom?123

10 Will not you, O God,430 which had cast2186 us off? and you, O God,430 which did not go3318 out with our armies?6635

11 Give3051 us help5833 from trouble:6862 for vain7723 is the help8668 of man.120

12 Through God430 we shall do6213 valiantly:2428 for he it is that shall tread947 down our enemies.6862

61

1 To the chief5329 Musician5329 upon Neginah,5058 A Psalm of David.1732 Hear8085 my cry,7440 O God;430 attend7181 to my prayer.8605

2 From the end7097 of the earth776 will I cry7121 to you, when my heart3820 is overwhelmed:5848 lead5148 me to the rock6697 that is higher7311 than I.

3 For you have been1961 a shelter4268 for me, and a strong5797 tower4026 from the enemy.341

4 I will abide1481 in your tabernacle168 for ever:5769 I will trust2620 in the covert5643 of your wings.3671 Selah.5542

5 For you, O God,430 have heard8085 my vows:5088 you have given5414 me the heritage3425 of those that fear3373 your name.8034

6 You will prolong3254 the king's4428 life:3117 5921 and his years8141 as many7227 generations.1755

7 He shall abide3427 before6440 God430 for ever:5769 O prepare4487 mercy2617 and truth,571 which may preserve5341 him.

8 So3651 will I sing2167 praise to your name8034 for ever,5703 that I may daily3117 perform7999 my vows.5088

62

1 To the chief5329 Musician,5329 to Jeduthun,3038 A Psalm4210 of David.1732 Truly389 my soul5315 waits1747 on God:430 from him comes my salvation.3444

2 He only389 is my rock6697 and my salvation;3444 he is my defense;4869 I shall not be greatly7227 moved.4131

3 How5704 long5704 will you imagine2050 mischief205 against5921 a man?376 you shall be slain7523 all3605 of you: as a bowing5186 wall7023 shall you be, and as a tottering1760 fence.1447

4 They only389 consult3289 to cast5080 him down from his excellency:7613 they delight7521 in lies:3576 they bless1288 with their mouth,6310 but they curse7043 inwardly.7130 Selah.5542

5 My soul,5315 wait1826 you only389 on God;430 for my expectation8615 is from him.

6 He only389 is my rock6697 and my salvation:3444 he is my defense;4869 I shall not be moved.4131

7 In God430 is my salvation3468 and my glory:3519 the rock6697 of my strength,5797 and my refuge,4268 is in God.430

8 Trust982 in him at all3605 times;6256 you people,5971 pour8210 out your heart3824 before6440 him: God430 is a refuge4268 for us. Selah.5542

9 Surely389 men1121 120 of low degree are vanity,1892 and men1121 376 of high376 degree are a lie:3576 to be laid5927 in the balance,3976 they are altogether3162 lighter7043 than vanity.1892

10 Trust982 not in oppression,6233 and become1891 not vain1891 in robbery:1498 if3588 riches2428 increase,5107 set7896 not your heart3820 on them.

11 God430 has spoken1696 once;259 twice8147 have I heard8085 this;2098 that power5797 belongs to God.430

12 Also to you, O Lord,136 belongs mercy:2617 for you render7999 to every man376 according to his work.4639

63

1 A Psalm4210 of David,1732 when he was in the wilderness4057 of Judah.3063 O God,430 you are my God;410 early7836 will I seek7836 you: my soul5315 thirsts6770 for you, my flesh1320 longs3642 for you in a dry6723 and thirsty land,776 where no1097 water4325 is;

2 To see7200 your power5797 and your glory,3519 so3651 as I have seen2372 you in the sanctuary.6944

3 Because3588 your loving kindness2617 is better2896 than4480 life,2416 my lips8193 shall praise7623 you.

4 Thus3651 will I bless1288 you while I live:2416 I will lift5375 up my hands3709 in your name.8034

5 My soul5315 shall be satisfied7646 as with marrow2459 and fatness;1880 and my mouth6310 shall praise1984 you with joyful7445 lips:8193

6 When518 I remember2142 you on my bed,3326 and meditate1897 on you in the night watches.821

7 Because3588 you have been1961 my help,5833 therefore in the shadow6738 of your wings3671 will I rejoice.7442

8 My soul5315 follows1692 hard1692 after310 you: your right3225 hand3225 upholds8551 me.

9 But those that seek1245 my soul,5315 to destroy7722 it, shall go935 into the lower8482 parts of the earth.776

10 They shall fall5064 by the sword:2719 they shall be a portion4521 for foxes.7776

11 But the king4428 shall rejoice8055 in God;430 every3605 one that swears7650 by him shall glory:1984 but the mouth6310 of them that speak1696 lies8267 shall be stopped.5534

64

1 To the chief5329 Musician,5329 A Psalm4210 of David.1732 Hear8085 my voice,6963 O God,430 in my prayer:7879 preserve5341 my life2416 from fear6343 of the enemy.341

2 Hide5641 me from the secret5475 counsel5475 of the wicked;7489 from the insurrection7285 of the workers6466 of iniquity:205

3 Who834 whet8150 their tongue3956 like a sword,2719 and bend1869 their bows to shoot their arrows,2671 even bitter4751 words:1697

4 That they may shoot3384 in secret4565 at the perfect:8535 suddenly6597 do they shoot3384 at him, and fear3372 not.

5 They encourage2388 themselves in an evil7451 matter:1697 they commune5608 of laying2934 snares4170 privately;2934 they say,559 Who4310 shall see7200 them?

6 They search2664 out iniquities;5766 they accomplish8552 a diligent search:2665 both the inward7130 thought of every376 one376 of them, and the heart,3820 is deep.6013

7 But God430 shall shoot3384 at them with an arrow;2671 suddenly6597 shall they be wounded.4347

8 So they shall make their own tongue3956 to fall3782 on themselves: all3605 that see7200 them shall flee5074 away.

9 And all3605 men120 shall fear,3372 and shall declare5046 the work6467 of God;430 for they shall wisely7919 consider7919 of his doing.4639

10 The righteous6662 shall be glad8056 in the LORD,3068 and shall trust2620 in him; and all3605 the upright3477 in heart3820 shall glory.1984

65

1 To the chief5329 Musician,5329 A Psalm4210 and Song7892 of David.1732 Praise8416 waits1747 for you, O God,430 in Sion:6726 and to you shall the vow5088 be performed.7999

2 O you that hear8085 prayer,8605 to you shall all3605 flesh1320 come.935

3 Iniquities1697 5771 prevail1396 against me: as for our transgressions,6588 you shall purge3722 them away.

4 Blessed835 is the man whom you choose,977 and cause to approach7126 to you, that he may dwell7931 in your courts:2691 we shall be satisfied7646 with the goodness2898 of your house,1004 even of your holy6918 temple.1964

5 By terrible3372 things in righteousness6664 will you answer6030 us, O God430 of our salvation;3468 who are the confidence4009 of all3605 the ends7099 of the earth,776 and of them that are afar7350 off on the sea:3220

6 Which by his strength3581 sets3559 fast the mountains;2022 being girded247 with power:1369

7 Which stills7623 the noise7588 of the seas,3220 the noise7588 of their waves,1530 and the tumult1995 of the people.3816

8 They also that dwell3427 in the uttermost7098 parts are afraid3372 at your tokens:226 you make the outgoings4161 of the morning1242 and evening6153 to rejoice.7442

9 You visit6485 the earth,776 and water7783 it: you greatly7227 enrich6238 it with the river6388 of God,430 which is full4390 of water:4325 you prepare3559 them corn,1715 when you have so3651 provided3559 for it.

10 You water7301 the ridges8525 thereof abundantly:7301 you settle5181 the furrows1417 thereof: you make it soft4127 with showers:7241 you bless1288 the springing6780 thereof.

11 You crown5849 the year8141 with your goodness;2896 and your paths4570 drop7491 fatness.1880

12 They drop7491 on the pastures4999 of the wilderness:4057 and the little hills1389 rejoice1524 on every side.2296

13 The pastures3733 are clothed3847 with flocks;6629 the valleys6010 also are covered5848 over5848 with corn;1250 they shout7321 for joy, they also637 sing.7891

66

1 To the chief5329 Musician,5329 A Song7892 or Psalm.4210 Make a joyful noise to God,430 all3605 you lands:776

2 Sing2167 forth the honor3519 of his name:8034 make7760 his praise8416 glorious.3519

3 Say559 to God,430 How4100 terrible3372 are you in your works!4639 through the greatness7230 of your power5797 shall your enemies341 submit3584 themselves to you.

4 All3605 the earth776 shall worship7812 you, and shall sing2167 to you; they shall sing2167 to your name.8034 Selah.5542

5 Come3212 and see7200 the works4659 of God:430 he is terrible3372 in his doing5949 toward5921 the children1121 of men.120

6 He turned2015 the sea3220 into dry3004 land:776 they went5674 through the flood5104 on foot:7272 there8033 did we rejoice8055 in him.

7 He rules4910 by his power1369 for ever;5769 his eyes5869 behold6822 the nations:1471 let not the rebellious5637 exalt7311 themselves. Selah.5542

8 O bless1288 our God,430 you people,5971 and make the voice6963 of his praise8416 to be heard:8085

9 Which holds7760 our soul5315 in life,2416 and suffers5414 not our feet7272 to be moved.4132

10 For you, O God,430 have proved974 us: you have tried6884 us, as silver3701 is tried.6884

11 You brought935 us into the net;4685 you laid7760 affliction4157 on our loins.4975

12 You have caused men582 to ride7392 over our heads;7218 we went935 through fire784 and through water:4325 but you brought3318 us out into a wealthy7310 place.

13 I will go935 into your house1004 with burnt5930 offerings: I will pay7999 you my vows,5088

14 Which834 my lips8193 have uttered,6475 and my mouth6310 has spoken,1696 when I was in trouble.6862

15 I will offer5927 to you burnt5930 sacrifices of fatted calves,4220 with the incense7004 of rams;352 I will offer6213 bullocks1241 with goats.6260 Selah.5542

16 Come3212 and hear,8085 all3605 you that fear3373 God,430 and I will declare5608 what834 he has done6213 for my soul.5315

17 I cried7121 to him with my mouth,6310 and he was extolled7318 with my tongue.3956

18 If518 I regard7200 iniquity205 in my heart,3820 the Lord136 will not hear8085 me:

19 But truly403 God430 has heard8085 me; he has attended7181 to the voice6963 of my prayer.8605

20 Blessed1288 be God,430 which834 has not turned5493 away my prayer,8605 nor his mercy2617 from me.

67

1 To the chief5329 Musician5329 on Neginoth,5058 A Psalm4210 or Song.7892 God430 be merciful2603 to us, and bless1288 us; and cause his face6440 to shine215 on us; Selah.5542

2 That your way1870 may be known3045 on earth,776 your saving3444 health3444 among all3605 nations.1471

3 Let the people5971 praise3034 you, O God;430 let all3605 the people5971 praise3034 you.

4 O let the nations3816 be glad8056 and sing7442 for joy: for you shall judge8199 the people5971 righteously,4334 and govern5148 the nations3816 on earth.776 Selah.5542

5 Let the people5971 praise3034 you, O God;430 let all3605 the people5971 praise3034 you.

6 Then shall the earth776 yield5414 her increase;2981 and God,430 even our own God,430 shall bless1288 us.

7 God430 shall bless1288 us; and all3605 the ends657 of the earth776 shall fear3372 him.

68

1 To the chief5329 Musician,5329 A Psalm4210 or Song7892 of David.1732 Let God430 arise,6965 let his enemies341 be scattered:6327 let them also that hate8130 him flee5127 before6440 him.

2 As smoke6227 is driven5086 away, so drive5086 them away: as wax1749 melts4549 before6440 the fire,784 so let the wicked7563 perish6 at the presence6440 of God.430

3 But let the righteous6662 be glad;8056 let them rejoice5970 before6440 God:430 yes, let them exceedingly8057 rejoice.7797

4 Sing7891 to God,430 sing2167 praises to his name:8034 extol5549 him that rides7392 on the heavens6160 by his name8034 JAH,3050 and rejoice5937 before6440 him.

5 A father1 of the fatherless,3490 and a judge1781 of the widows,490 is God430 in his holy6944 habitation.4583

6 God430 sets3427 the solitary3173 in families:1004 he brings3318 out those which are bound615 with chains:3574 but the rebellious5637 dwell7931 in a dry6707 land.

7 O God,430 when you went3318 forth3318 before6440 your people,5971 when you did march6805 through the wilderness;3452 Selah:5542

8 The earth776 shook,7493 the heavens8064 also637 dropped5197 at the presence6440 of God:430 even Sinai5514 itself2088 was moved at the presence6440 of God,430 the God430 of Israel.3478

9 You, O God,430 did send5130 a plentiful5071 rain,1653 whereby you did confirm3559 your inheritance,5159 when it was weary.3811

10 Your congregation2416 has dwelled3427 therein: you, O God,430 have prepared3559 of your goodness2896 for the poor.6041

11 The Lord136 gave5414 the word:562 great7227 was the company6635 of those that published1319 it.

12 Kings4428 of armies6635 did flee5074 apace: and she that tarried5116 at home1004 divided2505 the spoil.7998

13 Though518 you have lien7901 among996 the pots,8240 yet shall you be as the wings3671 of a dove3123 covered2645 with silver,3701 and her feathers84 with yellow3422 gold.2742

14 When the Almighty7706 scattered6566 kings4428 in it, it was white as snow7949 in Salmon.6756

15 The hill2022 of God430 is as the hill2022 of Bashan;1316 an high1386 hill2022 as the hill2022 of Bashan.1316

16 Why4100 leap7520 you, you high1386 hills?2022 this is the hill2022 which God430 desires2530 to dwell3427 in; yes,637 the LORD3068 will dwell7931 in it for ever.5331

17 The chariots7393 of God430 are twenty7239 thousand,7239 even thousands505 of angels:8136 the Lord136 is among them, as in Sinai,5514 in the holy6944 place.

18 You have ascended5927 on high,4791 you have led captivity7628 captive:7617 you have received3947 gifts4979 for men;120 yes,637 for the rebellious5637 also,637 that the LORD3050 God430 might dwell7931 among them.

19 Blessed1288 be the Lord,136 who daily3117 loads6006 us with benefits, even the God410 of our salvation.3444 Selah.5542

20 He that is our God410 is the God410 of salvation;4190 and to GOD3069 the Lord136 belong the issues8444 from death.4194

21 But God430 shall wound4272 the head7218 of his enemies,341 and the hairy1167 8181 scalp6936 of such an one as goes1980 on still in his trespasses.817

22 The Lord136 said,559 I will bring7725 again7725 from Bashan,1316 I will bring7725 my people again7725 from the depths4688 of the sea:3220

23 That your foot7272 may be dipped4272 in the blood1818 of your enemies,341 and the tongue3956 of your dogs3611 in the same.

24 They have seen7200 your goings,1979 O God;430 even the goings1979 of my God,410 my King,4428 in the sanctuary.6944

25 The singers7891 went6923 before,6924 the players5059 on instruments followed after;310 among8432 them were the damsels5959 playing with tambourines.8608

26 Bless1288 you God430 in the congregations,4721 even the Lord,136 from the fountain4726 of Israel.3478

27 There8033 is little6810 Benjamin1144 with their ruler,7287 the princes8269 of Judah3063 and their council,7277 the princes8269 of Zebulun,2074 and the princes8269 of Naphtali.5321

28 Your God430 has commanded6680 your strength:5797 strengthen,5810 O God,430 that which2098 you have worked6466 for us.

29 Because of your temple1964 at5921 Jerusalem3389 shall kings4428 bring2986 presents7862 to you.

30 Rebuke1605 the company2416 of spearmen,7070 the multitude5712 of the bulls,47 with the calves5695 of the people,5971 till every one submit7511 himself with pieces7518 of silver:3701 scatter967 you the people5971 that delight2654 in war.7128

31 Princes2831 shall come857 out of Egypt;4714 Ethiopia3568 shall soon7323 stretch7323 out her hands3027 to God.430

32 Sing7891 to God,430 you kingdoms4467 of the earth;776 O sing2167 praises to the Lord;136 Selah:5542

33 To him that rides7392 on the heavens8064 of heavens,8064 which were of old;6924 see,2005 he does send5414 out his voice,6963 and that a mighty5797 voice.6963

34 Ascribe5414 you strength5797 to God:430 his excellency1346 is over5921 Israel,3478 and his strength5797 is in the clouds.7834

35 O God,430 you are terrible3372 out of your holy4720 places: the God410 of Israel3478 is he that gives5414 strength5797 and power8592 to his people.5971 Blessed1288 be God.430

1 To the chief5329 Musician5329 upon Shoshannim,7799 A Psalm of David.1732 Save3467 me, O God;430 for the waters4325 are come935 in to my soul.5315

2 I sink2883 in deep4688 mire,3121 where there is no369 standing:4613 I am come935 into deep4615 waters,4325 where the floods7641 overflow7857 me.

3 I am weary3021 of my crying:7121 my throat1627 is dried:2787 my eyes5869 fail3615 while I wait3176 for my God.430

4 They that hate8130 me without2600 a cause2600 are more7231 than the hairs8185 of my head:7218 they that would destroy6789 me, being my enemies341 wrongfully,8267 are mighty:6105 then227 I restored7725 that which834 I took1497 not away.1497

5 O God,430 you know3045 my foolishness;200 and my sins819 are not hid3582 from you.

6 Let not them that wait6960 on you, O Lord136 GOD3069 of hosts,6635 be ashamed954 for my sake: let not those that seek1245 you be confounded3637 for my sake, O God430 of Israel.3478

7 Because3588 for your sake5921 I have borne5375 reproach;2781 shame3639 has covered3680 my face.6440

8 I am become1961 a stranger2114 to my brothers,251 and an alien5237 to my mother's517 children.1121

9 For the zeal7068 of your house1004 has eaten398 me up; and the reproaches2781 of them that reproached2778 you are fallen5307 on me.

10 When I wept,1058 and chastened my soul5315 with fasting,6685 that was to my reproach.2781

11 I made5414 sackcloth8242 also my garment;3830 and I became1961 a proverb4912 to them.

12 They that sit3427 in the gate8179 speak7878 against me; and I was the song5058 of the drunkards.8354 7941

13 But as for me, my prayer8605 is to you, O LORD,3068 in an acceptable7522 time:6256 O God,430 in the multitude7230 of your mercy2617 hear6030 me, in the truth571 of your salvation.3468

14 Deliver5337 me out of the mire,2916 and let me not sink:2883 let me be delivered5337 from them that hate8130 me, and out of the deep4615 waters.4325

15 Let not the flood7641 4325 overflow7857 me, neither408 let the deep4688 swallow1104 me up, and let not the pit875 shut332 her mouth6310 on me.

16 Hear6030 me, O LORD;3068 for your loving kindness2617 is good:2896 turn6437 to me according to the multitude7230 of your tender mercies.7356

17 And hide5641 not your face6440 from your servant;5650 for I am in trouble:6887 hear6030 me speedily.4118

18 Draw near7126 to my soul,5315 and redeem1350 it: deliver6299 me because4616 of my enemies.341

19 You have known3045 my reproach,2781 and my shame,1322 and my dishonor:3639 my adversaries6887 are all3605 before5048 you.

20 Reproach2781 has broken7665 my heart;3820 and I am full of heaviness:5136 and I looked6960 for some to take pity,5110 but there was none;369 and for comforters,5162 but I found4672 none.3808

21 They gave5414 me also gall7219 for my meat;1267 and in my thirst6772 they gave me vinegar2558 to drink.8248

22 Let their table7979 become1961 a snare6341 before6440 them: and that which should have been for their welfare,7965 let it become a trap.4170

23 Let their eyes5869 be darkened,2821 that they see7200 not; and make their loins4975 continually8548 to shake.4571

24 Pour8210 out your indignation2195 on them, and let your wrathful2740 anger639 take5381 hold5381 of them.

25 Let their habitation2918 be desolate;8074 and let none408 dwell3427 in their tents.168

26 For they persecute7291 him whom834 you have smitten;5221 and they talk5608 to the grief4341 of those whom you have wounded.2491

27 Add5414 iniquity5771 to their iniquity:5771 and let them not come935 into your righteousness.6666

28 Let them be blotted4229 out of the book5612 of the living,2416 and not be written3789 with the righteous.6662

29 But I am poor6041 and sorrowful:3510 let your salvation,3444 O God,430 set me up on high.7682

30 I will praise1984 the name8034 of God430 with a song,7892 and will magnify1431 him with thanksgiving.8426

31 This also shall please3190 the LORD3068 better3190 than an ox7794 or bullock6499 that has horns7160 and hoofs.6536

32 The humble6041 shall see7200 this, and be glad:8056 and your heart3824 shall live2421 that seek1875 God.430

33 For the LORD3068 hears8085 the poor,34 and despises959 not his prisoners.615

34 Let the heaven8064 and earth776 praise1984 him, the seas,3220 and every3605 thing that moves7430 therein.

35 For God430 will save3467 Zion,6726 and will build1129 the cities5892 of Judah:3063 that they may dwell3427 there, and have it in possession.3423

36 The seed2233 also of his servants5650 shall inherit5157 it: and they that love157 his name8034 shall dwell7931 therein.

70

1 To the chief5329 Musician,5329 A Psalm of David,1732 to bring2142 to remembrance.2142 Make haste, O God,430 to deliver5337 me; make haste2363 to help5833 me, O LORD.3068

2 Let them be ashamed954 and confounded2659 that seek1245 after my soul:5315 let them be turned5472 backward,268 and put to confusion,3637 that desire2655 my hurt.7451

3 Let them be turned7725 back7725 for a reward6118 of their shame1322 that say,559 Aha,253 aha.253

4 Let all3605 those that seek1245 you rejoice7797 and be glad8056 in you: and let such as love157 your salvation3444 say559 continually,8548 Let God430 be magnified.1431

5 But I am poor6041 and needy:34 make haste2363 to me, O God:430 you are my help5828 and my deliverer;6403 O LORD,3068 make no408 tarrying.309

71

1 In you, O LORD,3068 do I put my trust:2620 let me never408 5769 be put to confusion.954

2 Deliver5337 me in your righteousness,6666 and cause me to escape:6403 incline5186 your ear241 to me, and save3467 me.

3 Be you my strong6697 habitation,4583 whereunto I may continually8548 resort:935 you have given commandment6680 to save3467 me; for you are my rock5553 and my fortress.4686

4 Deliver6403 me, O my God,430 out of the hand3027 of the wicked,7563 out of the hand3709 of the unrighteous5765 and cruel2556 man.

5 For you are my hope,8615 O Lord136 GOD:3069 you are my trust4009 from my youth.5271

6 By you have I been held5564 up from the womb:990 you are he that took1491 me out of my mother's517 bowels:4578 my praise8416 shall be continually8548 of you.

7 I am as a wonder4159 to many;7227 but you are my strong5797 refuge.4268

8 Let my mouth6310 be filled4390 with your praise8416 and with your honor8597 all3605 the day.3117

9 Cast7993 me not off in the time6256 of old2209 age; forsake5800 me not when my strength3581 fails.3615

10 For my enemies341 speak559 against me; and they that lay wait8104 for my soul5315 take counsel3289 together,3162

11 Saying,559 God430 has forsaken5800 him: persecute7291 and take8610 him; for there is none369 to deliver5337 him.

12 O God,430 be not far7368 from me: O my God,430 make haste2439 for my help.5833

13 Let them be confounded954 and consumed3615 that are adversaries7853 to my soul;5315 let them be covered5844 with reproach2781 and dishonor3639 that seek1245 my hurt.7451

14 But I will hope3176 continually,8548 and will yet praise8416 you more3254 and more.3254

15 My mouth6310 shall show5608 forth3318 your righteousness6666 and your salvation8668 all3605 the day;3117 for I know3045 not the numbers5615 thereof.

16 I will go935 in the strength1369 of the Lord136 GOD:3069 I will make mention2142 of your righteousness,6666 even of your only.905

17 O God,430 you have taught3925 me from my youth:5271 and till now5704 2008 have I declared5046 your wondrous6381 works.

18 Now also1571 when5704 I am old2209 and gray headed,7872 O God,430 forsake5800 me not; until5704 I have showed5046 your strength2220 to this generation,1755 and your power1369 to every3605 one that is to come.935

19 Your righteousness6666 also, O God,430 is very5704 high,4791 who834 have done6213 great1419 things: O God,430 who4310 is like3644 to you!

20 You, which834 have showed7200 me great7229 and sore7451 troubles,6869 shall quicken2421 me again,7725 and shall bring5927 me up again7725 from the depths8415 of the earth.776

21 You shall increase7235 my greatness,1420 and comfort5162 me on every5437 side.5437

22 I will also1571 praise3034 you with the psaltery,3627 even your truth,571 O my God:430 to you will I sing2167 with the harp,3658 O you Holy6918 One of Israel.3478

23 My lips8193 shall greatly rejoice7442 when3588 I sing2167 to you; and my soul,5315 which834 you have redeemed.6299

24 My tongue3956 also1571 shall talk1897 of your righteousness6666 all3605 the day3117 long: for they are confounded,954 for they are brought2659 to shame,2659 that seek1245 my hurt.7451

72

1 A Psalm4210 for Solomon.8010 Give5414 the king4428 your judgments,4941 O God,430 and your righteousness6666 to the king's4428 son.1121

2 He shall judge1777 your people5971 with righteousness,6664 and your poor6041 with judgment.4941

3 The mountains2022 shall bring5375 peace7965 to the people,5971 and the little hills,1389 by righteousness.6666

4 He shall judge8199 the poor6041 of the people,5971 he shall save3467 the children1121 of the needy,34 and shall break1792 in pieces the oppressor.6231

5 They shall fear3372 you as long5973 as the sun8121 and moon3394 endure,6440 throughout all generations.1755

6 He shall come3381 down3381 like rain4306 on the mown1488 grass: as showers7241 that water2222 the earth.776

7 In his days3117 shall the righteous6662 flourish;6524 and abundance7230 of peace7965 so5704 long5704 as the moon3394 endures.1097

8 He shall have dominion7287 also from sea3220 to sea,3220 and from the river5104 to the ends657 of the earth.776

9 They that dwell in the wilderness6728 shall bow3766 before6440 him; and his enemies341 shall lick3897 the dust.6083

10 The kings4428 of Tarshish8659 and of the isles339 shall bring7725 presents:4503 the kings4428 of Sheba7614 and Seba5434 shall offer7126 gifts.814

11 Yes, all3605 kings4428 shall fall7812 down7812 before him: all3605 nations1471 shall serve5647 him.

12 For he shall deliver5337 the needy34 when he cries;7768 the poor6041 also, and him that has no369 helper.5826

13 He shall spare2347 the poor1800 and needy,34 and shall save3467 the souls5315 of the needy.34

14 He shall redeem1350 their soul5315 from deceit8496 and violence:2555 and precious3365 shall their blood1818 be in his sight.5869

15 And he shall live,2421 and to him shall be given5414 of the gold2091 of Sheba:7614 prayer6419 also shall be made for him continually;8548 and daily3605 3117 shall he be praised.1288

16 There shall be an handful6451 of corn1250 in the earth776 on the top7218 of the mountains;2022 the fruit6529 thereof shall shake7493 like Lebanon:3844 and they of the city5892 shall flourish6692 like grass6212 of the earth.776

17 His name8034 shall endure1961 for ever:5769 his name8034 shall be continued5125 as long6440 as the sun:8121 and men shall be blessed1288 in him: all3605 nations1471 shall call833 him blessed.833

18 Blessed1288 be the LORD3068 God,430 the God430 of Israel,3478 who only905 does6213 wondrous6381 things.

19 And blessed1288 be his glorious3519 name8034 for ever:5769 and let the whole854 3605 earth776 be filled4390 with his glory;3519 Amen,543 and Amen.543

20 The prayers8605 of David1732 the son1121 of Jesse3448 are ended.3615

73

1 A Psalm4210 of Asaph.623 Truly389 God430 is good2896 to Israel,3478 even to such as are of a clean1249 heart.3824

2 But as for me, my feet7272 were almost4592 gone;5186 my steps838 had well369 near4592 slipped.8210

3 For I was envious7065 at the foolish,1984 when I saw7200 the prosperity7965 of the wicked.7563

4 For there are no369 bands2784 in their death:4194 but their strength193 is firm.1277

5 They are not in trouble5999 as other men;582 neither3808 are they plagued5060 like5973 other men.120

6 Therefore pride1346 compasses6059 them about as a chain;6059 violence2555 covers5848 them as a garment.7897

7 Their eyes5869 stand3318 out with fatness:2459 they have more5674 than heart3824 could wish.4906

8 They are corrupt,4167 and speak1696 wickedly7451 concerning oppression:6233 they speak1696 loftily.4791

9 They set8371 their mouth6310 against the heavens,8064 and their tongue3956 walks1980 through the earth.776

10 Therefore3651 his people5971 return7725 here:1988 and waters4325 of a full4392 cup are wrung4680 out to them.

11 And they say,559 How349 does God410 know?3045 and is there knowledge1844 in the most5945 High?5945

12 Behold,2009 these428 are the ungodly,7563 who prosper7951 in the world;5769 they increase7685 in riches.2428

13 Truly389 I have cleansed2135 my heart3824 in vain,7385 and washed7364 my hands3709 in innocence.5356

14 For all3605 the day3117 long have I been1961 plagued,5060 and chastened8433 every morning.1242

15 If518 I say,559 I will speak5608 thus;3644 behold,2009 I should offend898 against the generation1755 of your children.1121

16 When I thought2803 to know3045 this,2063 it was too painful5999 for me;

17 Until5704 I went935 into413 the sanctuary4720 of God;410 then understood995 I their end.319

18 Surely389 you did set7896 them in slippery2513 places: you cast5307 them down5307 into destruction.4876

19 How349 are they brought into desolation,8047 as in a moment!7281 they are utterly consumed8552 with terrors.1091

20 As a dream2472 when one wakes;6974 so, O Lord,136 when you wake,5782 you shall despise959 their image.6754

21 Thus3588 my heart3824 was grieved,2556 and I was pricked8150 in my reins.3629

22 So foolish1198 was I, and ignorant:3808 3045 I was as a beast929 before5973 you.

23 Nevertheless I am continually8548 with you: you have held270 me by my right3225 hand.3027

24 You shall guide5148 me with your counsel,6098 and afterward310 receive3947 me to glory.3519

25 Whom4310 have I in heaven8064 but you? and there is none3808 on earth776 that I desire2654 beside5973 you.

26 My flesh7607 and my heart3824 fails:3615 but God430 is the strength6697 of my heart,3824 and my portion2506 for ever.5769

27 For, see,2005 they that are far7369 from you shall perish:6 you have destroyed6789 all3605 them that go935 a whoring2181 from you.

28 But it is good2896 for me to draw near7132 to God:430 I have put7896 my trust4268 in the Lord136 GOD,3069 that I may declare5608 all3605 your works.4399

74

1 Maschil4905 of Asaph.623 O God,430 why4100 have you cast2186 us off for ever?5331 why does your anger639 smoke6225 against the sheep6629 of your pasture?4830

2 Remember2142 your congregation,5712 which you have purchased7069 of old;6924 the rod7626 of your inheritance,5159 which you have redeemed;1350 this2088 mount2022 Zion,6726 wherein you have dwelled.7931

3 Lift7311 up your feet6471 to the perpetual5331 desolations;4876 even all3605 that the enemy341 has done wickedly7489 in the sanctuary.6944

4 Your enemies6887 roar7580 in the middle7130 of your congregations;4150 they set7760 up their ensigns226 for signs.226

5 A man was famous3045 according as he had lifted935 up axes7134 on the thick5441 trees.6086

6 But now6258 they break1986 down the carved6603 work6603 thereof at3162 once with axes3781 and hammers.3597

7 They have cast7971 fire784 into your sanctuary,4720 they have defiled2490 by casting down the dwelling4908 place of your name8034 to the ground.776

8 They said559 in their hearts,3820 Let us destroy3238 them together:3162 they have burned8313 up all3605 the synagogues4150 of God410 in the land.776

9 We see7200 not our signs:226 there is no369 more5750 any prophet:5030 neither3808 is there among854 us any that knows3045 how5704 long.5704

10 O God,430 how5704 long5704 shall the adversary6862 reproach?2778 shall the enemy341 blaspheme5006 your name8034 for ever?5331

11 Why4100 withdraw7725 you your hand,3027 even your right3225 hand?3225 pluck3615 it out of your bosom.2436

12 For God430 is my King4428 of old,6924 working6466 salvation3444 in the middle7130 of the earth.776

13 You did divide6565 the sea3220 by your strength:5797 you brake7665 the heads7218 of the dragons8577 in the waters.4325

14 You brake7533 the heads7218 of leviathan3882 in pieces, and gave5414 him to be meat3978 to the people5971 inhabiting6728 the wilderness.6728

15 You did split1234 the fountain4599 and the flood:5158 you dried3001 up mighty386 rivers.5104

16 The day3117 is yours, the night3915 also637 is yours: you have prepared3559 the light3974 and the sun.8121

17 You have set5324 all3605 the borders1367 of the earth:776 you have made3335 summer7019 and winter.2779

18 Remember2142 this,2063 that the enemy341 has reproached,2778 O LORD,3068 and that the foolish5036 people5971 have blasphemed5006 your name.8034

19 O deliver5414 not the soul5315 of your turtledove8449 to the multitude2416 of the wicked: forget7911 not the congregation2416 of your poor6041 for ever.5331

20 Have respect5027 to the covenant:1285 for the dark4285 places of the earth776 are full4390 of the habitations4999 of cruelty.2555

21 O let not the oppressed1790 return7725 ashamed:3637 let the poor6041 and needy34 praise1984 your name.8034

22 Arise,6965 O God,430 plead7378 your own cause:7379 remember2142 how the foolish5036 man reproaches2781 you daily.3605 3117

23 Forget7911 not the voice6963 of your enemies:6887 the tumult7588 of those that rise6965 up against you increases5927 continually.8548

1 To the chief5329 Musician,5329 Altaschith,516 A Psalm4210 or Song7892 of Asaph.623 To you, O God,430 do we give thanks,3034 to you do we give thanks:3034 for that your name8034 is near7138 your wondrous6381 works declare.5608

2 When3588 I shall receive3947 the congregation4150 I will judge8199 uprightly.4339

3 The earth776 and all3605 the inhabitants3427 thereof are dissolved:4127 I bear8505 up the pillars5982 of it. Selah.5542

4 I said559 to the fools,1984 Deal not foolishly:1984 and to the wicked,7563 Lift7311 not up the horn:7161

5 Lift7311 not up your horn7161 on high:4791 speak1696 not with a stiff6277 neck.6677

6 For promotion7311 comes neither3808 from the east,4161 nor from the west,4628 nor from the south.4057

7 But God430 is the judge:8199 he puts8213 down8213 one, and sets7311 up another.2088

8 For in the hand3027 of the LORD3068 there is a cup,3563 and the wine3196 is red;923 it is full4392 of mixture;4538 and he pours5064 out of the same:2088 but the dregs8105 thereof, all3605 the wicked7563 of the earth776 shall wring4680 them out, and drink8354 them.

9 But I will declare5046 for ever;5769 I will sing praises to the God430 of Jacob.3290

10 All3605 the horns7161 of the wicked7563 also will I cut1438 off; but the horns7161 of the righteous6662 shall be exalted.7311

76

1 To the chief5329 Musician5329 on Neginoth,5058 A Psalm4210 or Song7892 of Asaph.623 In Judah3063 is God430 known:3045 his name8034 is great1419 in Israel.3478

2 In Salem8004 also is his tabernacle,5520 and his dwelling4585 place in Zion.6726

3 There8033 broke7665 he the arrows7565 of the bow,7198 the shield,4043 and the sword,2719 and the battle.4421 Selah.5542

4 You are more glorious215 and excellent117 than the mountains2042 of prey.2964

5 The stouthearted47 3820 are spoiled,7997 they have slept5123 their sleep:8142 and none3808 of the men582 of might2428 have found4672 their hands.3027

6 At your rebuke,1606 O God430 of Jacob,3290 both the chariot7393 and horse5483 are cast7290 into a dead sleep.7290

7 You, even you, are to be feared:3372 and who4310 may stand5975 in your sight6440 when once227 you are angry?639

8 You did cause judgment1779 to be heard8085 from heaven;8064 the earth776 feared,3372 and was still,8252

9 When God430 arose6965 to judgment,4941 to save3467 all3605 the meek6035 of the earth.776 Selah.5542

10 Surely3588 the wrath2534 of man120 shall praise3034 you: the remainder7611 of wrath2534 shall you restrain.2296

11 Vow,5087 and pay7999 to the LORD3068 your God:430 let all3605 that be round5439 about him bring2986 presents7862 to him that ought to be feared.4172

12 He shall cut1219 off the spirit7307 of princes:5057 he is terrible3372 to the kings4428 of the earth.776

77

1 To the chief5329 Musician,5329 to Jeduthun,3038 A Psalm4210 of Asaph.623 I cried6817 to God430 with my voice,6963 even to God430 with my voice;6963 and he gave ear238 to me.

2 In the day3117 of my trouble6869 I sought1875 the Lord:136 my sore3027 ran5064 in the night,3915 and ceased6313 not: my soul5315 refused3985 to be comforted.5162

3 I remembered2142 God,430 and was troubled:1993 I complained,7878 and my spirit7307 was overwhelmed.5848 Selah.5542

4 You hold270 my eyes5869 waking:8109 I am so troubled6470 that I cannot3808 speak.1696

5 I have considered2803 the days3117 of old,6924 the years8141 of ancient5769 times.

6 I call2142 to remembrance2142 my song5058 in the night:3915 I commune7878 with my own heart:3824 and my spirit7307 made diligent search.2664

7 Will the Lord136 cast2186 off for ever?5769 and will he be favorable7521 no3808 more?3254

8 Is his mercy2617 clean656 gone656 for ever?5331 does his promise562 fail1584 for ever more?1755

9 Has God410 forgotten7911 to be gracious?2589 has he in anger639 shut7092 up his tender mercies?7356 Selah.5542

10 And I said,559 This1931 is my infirmity:2470 but I will remember2142 the years8141 of the right3225 hand3225 of the most5945 High.5945

11 I will remember2142 the works4611 of the LORD:3050 surely I will remember2142 your wonders6382 of old.6924

12 I will meditate1897 also of all3605 your work,6467 and talk7878 of your doings.5949

13 Your way,1870 O God,430 is in the sanctuary:6944 who4310 is so great1419 a God410 as our God?430

14 You are the God410 that do6213 wonders:6382 you have declared3045 your strength5797 among the people.5971

15 You have with your arm2220 redeemed1350 your people,5971 the sons1121 of Jacob3290 and Joseph.3130 Selah.5542

16 The waters4325 saw7200 you, O God,430 the waters4325 saw7200 you; they were afraid:2342 the depths8415 also637 were troubled.7264

17 The clouds5645 poured2229 out water:4325 the skies7834 sent5414 out a sound:6963 your arrows2687 also637 went1980 abroad.1980

18 The voice6963 of your thunder7482 was in the heaven:1534 the lightning1300 lightened215 the world:8398 the earth776 trembled7264 and shook.7493

19 Your way1870 is in the sea,3220 and your path7635 in the great7227 waters,4325 and your footsteps6119 are not known.3045

20 You led5148 your people5971 like a flock6629 by the hand3027 of Moses4872 and Aaron.175

78

1 Maschil4905 of Asaph.623 Give ear,238 O my people,5971 to my law:8451 incline5186 your ears241 to the words561 of my mouth.6310

2 I will open6605 my mouth6310 in a parable:4912 I will utter5042 dark2420 sayings2420 of old:6924

3 Which834 we have heard8085 and known,3045 and our fathers1 have told5608 us.

4 We will not hide3582 them from their children,1121 showing5608 to the generation1755 to come314 the praises8416 of the LORD,3068 and his strength,5807 and his wonderful6381 works that he has done.6213

5 For he established6965 a testimony5715 in Jacob,3290 and appointed7760 a law8451 in Israel,3478 which834 he commanded6680 our fathers,1 that they should make them known3045 to their children:1121

6 That the generation1755 to come314 might know3045 them, even the children1121 which should be born;3205 who should arise6965 and declare5608 them to their children:1121

7 That they might set7760 their hope3689 in God,430 and not forget7911 the works4611 of God,410 but keep5341 his commandments:4687

8 And might not be as their fathers,1 a stubborn5637 and rebellious4784 generation;1755 a generation1755 that set3559 not their heart3820 aright,3559 and whose spirit7307 was not steadfast539 with God.410

9 The children1121 of Ephraim,669 being armed,5401 and carrying7411 bows,7198 turned2015 back2015 in the day3117 of battle.7128

10 They kept8104 not the covenant1285 of God,430 and refused3985 to walk3212 in his law;8451

11 And forgot7911 his works,5949 and his wonders6381 that he had showed7200 them.

12 Marvelous6382 things did6213 he in the sight5048 of their fathers,1 in the land776 of Egypt,4714 in the field7704 of Zoan.6814

13 He divided1234 the sea,3220 and caused them to pass5674 through; and he made the waters4325 to stand5324 as an heap.5067

14 In the daytime3119 also he led5148 them with a cloud,6051 and all3605 the night3915 with a light216 of fire.784

15 He split1234 the rocks6697 in the wilderness,4057 and gave them drink8248 as out of the great7227 depths.8415

16 He brought3318 streams5140 also out of the rock,5553 and caused waters4325 to run3381 down like rivers.5104

17 And they sinned2398 yet5750 more5750 against him by provoking4784 the most5945 High5945 in the wilderness.6723

18 And they tempted5254 God410 in their heart3824 by asking7592 meat400 for their lust.5315

19 Yes, they spoke1696 against God;430 they said,559 Can3201 God410 furnish6186 a table7979 in the wilderness?4057

20 Behold,2005 he smote5221 the rock,6697 that the waters4325 gushed2100 out, and the streams5158 overflowed;7857 can3201 he give5414 bread3899 also?1571 can3201 he provide3559 flesh7607 for his people?5971

21 Therefore3651 the LORD3068 heard8085 this,1931 and was wroth:5674 so a fire784 was kindled5400 against Jacob,3290 and anger639 also1571 came5927 up against Israel;3478

22 Because3588 they believed539 not in God,430 and trusted982 not in his salvation:3444

23 Though he had commanded6680 the clouds7834 from above,4605 and opened6605 the doors1817 of heaven,8064

24 And had rained4305 down manna4478 on them to eat,398 and had given5414 them of the corn1715 of heaven.8064

25 Man376 did eat398 angels'47 food:3899 he sent7971 them meat6720 to the full.7648

26 He caused an east6921 wind to blow5265 in the heaven:8064 and by his power5797 he brought5090 in the south8486 wind.

27 He rained4305 flesh7607 also on them as dust,6083 and feathered3671 fowls5775 like as the sand2344 of the sea:3220

28 And he let it fall5307 in the middle7130 of their camp,4264 round5439 about their habitations.4908

29 So they did eat,398 and were well3966 filled:7646 for he gave935 them their own desire;8378

30 They were not estranged2114 from their lust.8378 But while their meat400 was yet5750 in their mouths,6310

31 The wrath639 of God430 came5927 on them, and slew2026 the fattest4924 of them, and smote3766 down3766 the chosen970 men of Israel.3478

32 For all3605 this2063 they sinned2398 still,5750 and believed539 not for his wondrous6381 works.

33 Therefore their days3117 did he consume3615 in vanity,1892 and their years8141 in trouble.928

34 When518 he slew2026 them, then they sought1875 him: and they returned7725 and inquired7836 early7836 after God.410

35 And they remembered2142 that God430 was their rock,6697 and the high5945 God410 their redeemer.1350

36 Nevertheless they did flatter6601 him with their mouth,6310 and they lied3576 to him with their tongues.3956

37 For their heart3820 was not right3559 with him, neither3808 were they steadfast539 in his covenant.1285

38 But he, being full of compassion,7349 forgave3722 their iniquity,5771 and destroyed7843 them not: yes, many7235 a time turned7725 he his anger639 away, and did not stir5782 up all3605 his wrath.2534

39 For he remembered2142 that they were but flesh;1320 a wind7307 that passes1980 away, and comes7725 not again.7725

40 How4101 oft did they provoke4784 him in the wilderness,4057 and grieve6087 him in the desert!3452

41 Yes, they turned7725 back7725 and tempted5254 God,410 and limited8428 the Holy6918 One of Israel.3478

42 They remembered2142 not his hand,3027 nor the day3117 when834 he delivered6299 them from the enemy.6862

43 How834 he had worked7760 his signs226 in Egypt,4714 and his wonders4159 in the field7704 of Zoan.6814

44 And had turned2015 their rivers2975 into blood;1818 and their floods,5140 that they could not drink.8354

45 He sent7971 divers sorts of flies6157 among them, which devoured398 them; and frogs,6854 which destroyed7843 them.

46 He gave5414 also their increase2981 to the caterpillar,2625 and their labor3018 to the locust.697

47 He destroyed2026 their vines1612 with hail,1259 and their sycomore8256 trees with frost.2602

48 He gave5462 up their cattle1165 also to the hail,1259 and their flocks4735 to hot7565 thunderbolts.7565

49 He cast7971 on them the fierceness2740 of his anger,639 wrath,5678 and indignation,2195 and trouble,6869 by sending4917 evil7451 angels4397 among them.

50 He made a way5410 to his anger;639 he spared2820 not their soul5315 from death,4194 but gave5462 their life2416 over5462 to the pestilence;1698

51 And smote5221 all3605 the firstborn1060 in Egypt;4714 the chief7225 of their strength202 in the tabernacles168 of Ham:2526

52 But made his own people5971 to go5265 forth5265 like sheep,6629 and guided5090 them in the wilderness4057 like a flock.5739

53 And he led5148 them on safely,983 so that they feared6342 not: but the sea3220 overwhelmed3680 their enemies.341

54 And he brought935 them to the border1366 of his sanctuary,6944 even to this2088 mountain,2022 which his right3225 hand3225 had purchased.7069

55 He cast1644 out the heathen1471 also before6440 them, and divided5307 them an inheritance5159 by line,2256 and made the tribes7626 of Israel3478 to dwell7931 in their tents.168

56 Yet they tempted5254 and provoked4784 the most5945 high5945 God,430 and kept8104 not his testimonies:5713

57 But turned5472 back,5472 and dealt unfaithfully898 like their fathers:1 they were turned2015 aside2015 like a deceitful7423 bow.7198

58 For they provoked him to anger3707 with their high1116 places, and moved him to jealousy7065 with their graven6456 images.6456

59 When God430 heard8085 this, he was wroth,5674 and greatly3966 abhorred3988 Israel:3478

60 So that he forsook5203 the tabernacle4908 of Shiloh,7887 the tent168 which he placed7931 among men;120

61 And delivered5414 his strength5797 into captivity,7628 and his glory8597 into the enemy's6862 hand.3027

62 He gave5462 his people5971 over5462 also to the sword;2719 and was wroth5674 with his inheritance.5159

63 The fire784 consumed398 their young970 men; and their maidens1330 were not given to marriage.1984

64 Their priests3548 fell5307 by the sword;2719 and their widows490 made no3808 lamentation.1058

65 Then the LORD136 awaked3364 as one out of sleep,3463 and like a mighty1368 man that shouts7442 by reason of wine.3196

66 And he smote5221 his enemies6862 in the hinder268 parts: he put5414 them to a perpetual5769 reproach.2781

67 Moreover he refused3988 the tabernacle168 of Joseph,3130 and chose977 not the tribe7626 of Ephraim:669

68 But chose977 the tribe7626 of Judah,3063 the mount2022 Zion6726 which834 he loved.157

69 And he built1129 his sanctuary4720 like high7311 palaces, like the earth776 which he has established3245 for ever.5769

70 He chose977 David1732 also his servant,5650 and took3947 him from the sheepfolds:4356

71 From following310 the ewes5763 great with young5763 he brought935 him to feed7462 Jacob3290 his people,5971 and Israel3478 his inheritance.5159

72 So he fed7462 them according to the integrity8537 of his heart;3824 and guided5148 them by the skillfulness8394 of his hands.3709

79

1 A Psalm4210 of Asaph.623 O God,430 the heathen1471 are come935 into your inheritance;5159 your holy6944 temple1964 have they defiled;2930 they have laid7760 Jerusalem3389 on heaps.5856

2 The dead5038 bodies5038 of your servants5650 have they given5414 to be meat3978 to the fowls5775 of the heaven,8064 the flesh1320 of your saints2623 to the beasts2416 of the earth.776

3 Their blood1818 have they shed8210 like water4325 round5439 about Jerusalem;3389 and there was none369 to bury6912 them.

4 We are become1961 a reproach2781 to our neighbors,7934 a scorn3933 and derision7047 to them that are round5439 about us.

5 How5704 long,5704 LORD?3068 will you be angry599 for ever?5331 shall your jealousy7068 burn1197 like fire?784

6 Pour8210 out your wrath2534 on the heathen1471 that have not known3045 you, and on the kingdoms4467 that have not called7121 on your name.8034

7 For they have devoured398 Jacob,3290 and laid waste8074 his dwelling5116 place.

8 O remember2142 not against us former7223 iniquities:5771 let your tender mercies7356 speedily4118 prevent6923 us: for we are brought1809 very3966 low.1809

9 Help5826 us, O God430 of our salvation,3468 for the glory3519 of your name:8034 and deliver5337 us, and purge3722 away our sins,2403 for your name's8034 sake.4616

10 Why4100 should the heathen1471 say,559 Where346 is their God?430 let him be known3045 among the heathen1471 in our sight5869 by the revenging5360 of the blood1818 of your servants5650 which is shed.8210

11 Let the sighing603 of the prisoner616 come935 before6440 you; according to the greatness1433 of your power2220 preserve3498 you those that are appointed1121 to die;8546

12 And render7725 to our neighbors7934 sevenfold7659 into413 their bosom2436 their reproach,2781 with which834 they have reproached2778 you, O Lord.136

13 So we your people5971 and sheep6629 of your pasture4830 will give you thanks3034 for ever:5769 we will show5608 forth5608 your praise8416 to all generations.1755

1 To the chief5329 Musician5329 upon Shoshannimeduth,7802 A Psalm4210 of Asaph.623 Give ear,238 O Shepherd7462 of Israel,3478 you that lead5090 Joseph3130 like a flock;6629 you that dwell3427 between the cherubim,3742 shine3313 forth.

2 Before6440 Ephraim669 and Benjamin1144 and Manasseh4519 stir5782 up your strength,1369 and come3212 and save3444 us.

3 Turn7725 us again,7725 O God,430 and cause your face6440 to shine;215 and we shall be saved.3467

4 O LORD3068 God430 of hosts,6635 how5704 long5704 will you be angry6225 against the prayer8605 of your people?5971

5 You feed398 them with the bread3899 of tears;1832 and give them tears1832 to drink8248 in great7991 measure.7991

6 You make7760 us a strife4066 to our neighbors:7934 and our enemies341 laugh3932 among themselves.

7 Turn7725 us again,7725 O God430 of hosts,6635 and cause your face6440 to shine;215 and we shall be saved.3467

8 You have brought5265 a vine1612 out of Egypt:4714 you have cast1644 out the heathen,1471 and planted5193 it.

9 You prepared6437 room before6440 it, and did cause it to take deep8328 root,8327 and it filled4390 the land.776

10 The hills2022 were covered3680 with the shadow6738 of it, and the boughs6057 thereof were like the goodly410 cedars.730

11 She sent7971 out her boughs7105 to the sea,3220 and her branches3127 to the river.5104

12 Why4100 have you then broken6555 down her hedges,1447 so that all3605 they which pass5674 by the way1870 do pluck717 her?

13 The boar2386 out of the wood3293 does waste3765 it, and the wild2123 beast2123 of the field7704 does devour7462 it.

14 Return,7725 we beseech4994 you, O God430 of hosts:6635 look5027 down from heaven,8064 and behold,7200 and visit6485 this2063 vine;1612

15 And the vineyard3657 which834 your right3225 hand3225 has planted,5193 and the branch1121 that you made strong553 for yourself.

16 It is burned8313 with fire,784 it is cut3683 down: they perish6 at the rebuke1606 of your countenance.6440

17 Let your hand3027 be on the man376 of your right3225 hand,3225 on the son1121 of man120 whom you made strong553 for yourself.

18 So will not we go5472 back5472 from you: quicken2421 us, and we will call7121 on your name.8034

19 Turn7725 us again,7725 O LORD3068 God430 of hosts,6635 cause your face6440 to shine;215 and we shall be saved.3467

1 To the chief5329 Musician5329 upon Gittith,1665 A Psalm of Asaph.623 Sing7442 aloud7442 to God430 our strength:5797 make a joyful noise to the God430 of Jacob.3290

2 Take5375 a psalm,2172 and bring5414 here the tambourine,8596 the pleasant5273 harp3658 with the psaltery.5035

3 Blow8628 up the trumpet7782 in the new2320 moon,2320 in the time appointed,3677 on our solemn2282 feast2282 day.3117

4 For this1931 was a statute2706 for Israel,3478 and a law4941 of the God430 of Jacob.3290

5 This he ordained7760 in Joseph3084 for a testimony,5715 when he went3318 out through5921 the land776 of Egypt:4714 where I heard8085 a language8193 that I understood3045 not.

6 I removed5493 his shoulder7926 from the burden:5449 his hands3709 were delivered5674 from the pots.1731

7 You called7121 in trouble,6869 and I delivered2502 you; I answered6030 you in the secret5643 place of thunder:7482 I proved974 you at5291 the waters4325 of Meribah.4809 Selah.5542

8 Hear,8085 O my people,5971 and I will testify5749 to you: O Israel,3478 if518 you will listen8085 to me;

9 There shall no3808 strange2114 god410 be in you; neither3808 shall you worship7812 any strange5236 god.410

10 I am the LORD3068 your God,430 which brought5927 you out of the land776 of Egypt:4714 open your mouth6310 wide,7337 and I will fill4390 it.

11 But my people5971 would not listen8085 to my voice;6963 and Israel3478 would14 none3808 of me.

12 So I gave7971 them up to their own hearts'3820 lust:8307 and they walked3212 in their own counsels.4156

13 Oh3863 that my people5971 had listened8085 to me, and Israel3478 had walked1980 in my ways!1870

14 I should soon4592 have subdued3665 their enemies,341 and turned7725 my hand3027 against5921 their adversaries.6862

15 The haters8130 of the LORD3068 should have submitted3584 themselves to him: but their time6256 should have endured1961 for ever.5769

16 He should have fed398 them also with the finest2459 of the wheat:2406 and with honey1706 out of the rock6697 should I have satisfied7649 you.

82

1 A Psalm4210 of Asaph.623 God430 stands5324 in the congregation5712 of the mighty;410 he judges8199 among8432 the gods.430

2 How5704 long5704 will you judge8199 unjustly,5766 and accept5375 the persons6440 of the wicked?7563 Selah.5542

3 Defend8199 the poor1800 and fatherless:3490 do justice6663 to the afflicted6041 and needy.7326

4 Deliver6403 the poor1800 and needy:34 rid5337 them out of the hand3027 of the wicked.7563

5 They know3045 not, neither3808 will they understand;995 they walk1980 on in darkness:2825 all3605 the foundations4146 of the earth776 are out of course.4131

6 I have said,559 You are gods;430 and all3605 of you are children1121 of the most5945 High.5945

7 But you shall die4191 like men,120 and fall5307 like one259 of the princes.8269

8 Arise,6965 O God,430 judge8199 the earth:776 for you shall inherit5157 all3605 nations.1471

83

1 A Song7892 or Psalm4210 of Asaph.623 Keep not you silence,1824 O God:430 hold2790 not your peace,2790 and be not still,8252 O God.410

2 For, see,2009 your enemies341 make a tumult:1993 and they that hate8130 you have lifted5375 up the head.7218

3 They have taken crafty6191 counsel5475 against5921 your people,5971 and consulted3289 against5921 your hidden6845 ones.

4 They have said,559 Come,3212 and let us cut3582 them off from being a nation;1471 that the name8034 of Israel3478 may be no3808 more5750 in remembrance.2142

5 For they have consulted3289 together3162 with one consent:3820 they are confederate1285 3772 against5921 you:

6 The tabernacles168 of Edom,123 and the Ishmaelites;3459 of Moab,4124 and the Hagarenes;1905

7 Gebal,1381 and Ammon,5983 and Amalek;6002 the Philistines6430 with the inhabitants3427 of Tyre;6865

8 Assur804 also1571 is joined3867 with them: they have helped2220 the children1121 of Lot.3876 Selah.5542

9 Do6213 to them as to the Midianites;4080 as to Sisera,5516 as to Jabin,2985 at the brook5158 of Kison:7028

10 Which perished8045 at Endor:5874 they became1961 as dung1828 for the earth.127

11 Make7896 their nobles5081 like Oreb,6157 and like Zeeb:2062 yes, all3605 their princes5257 as Zebah,2078 and as Zalmunna:6759

12 Who834 said,559 Let us take to ourselves the houses4999 of God430 in possession.3423

13 O my God,430 make7896 them like a wheel;1534 as the stubble7179 before6440 the wind.7307

14 As the fire784 burns1197 a wood,3293 and as the flame3852 sets3857 the mountains2022 on fire;3857

15 So3651 persecute7291 them with your tempest,5591 and make them afraid926 with your storm.5492

16 Fill4390 their faces6440 with shame;7036 that they may seek1245 your name,8034 O LORD.3068

17 Let them be confounded954 and troubled926 for ever;5703 yes, let them be put to shame,2659 and perish:6

18 That men may know3045 that you, whose name8034 alone905 is JEHOVAH,3068 are the most5945 high5945 over5921 all3605 the earth.776

84

1 To the chief5329 Musician5329 upon Gittith,1665 A Psalm4210 for the sons1121 of Korah.7141 How4100 amiable3039 are your tabernacles,4908 O LORD3068 of hosts!6635

2 My soul5315 longs,3700 yes,1571 even1571 faints3615 for the courts2691 of the LORD:3068 my heart3820 and my flesh1320 cries7442 out for the living2416 God.410

3 Yes,1571 the sparrow6833 has found4672 an house,1004 and the swallow1866 a nest7064 for herself, where834 she may lay7896 her young,667 even853 your altars,4196 O LORD3068 of hosts,6635 my King,4428 and my God.430

4 Blessed835 are they that dwell3427 in your house:1004 they will be still5750 praising1984 you. Selah.5542

5 Blessed835 is the man120 whose strength5797 is in you; in whose heart3824 are the ways4546 of them.

6 Who passing5674 through the valley6010 of Baca1056 make6213 it a well;4599 the rain4175 also1571 fills5844 the pools.1293

7 They go3212 from strength2428 to strength,2428 every one of them in Zion6726 appears7200 before413 God.430

8 O LORD3068 God430 of hosts,6635 hear8085 my prayer:8605 give ear,238 O God430 of Jacob.3290 Selah.5542

9 Behold,7200 O God430 our shield,4043 and look5027 on the face6440 of your anointed.4899

10 For a day3117 in your courts2691 is better2896 than a thousand.505 I had rather977 be a doorkeeper5605 in the house1004 of my God,430 than to dwell1752 in the tents168 of wickedness.7562

11 For the LORD3068 God430 is a sun8121 and shield:4043 the LORD3068 will give5414 grace2580 and glory:3519 no3808 good2896 thing will he withhold4513 from them that walk1980 uprightly.8549

12 O LORD3068 of hosts,6635 blessed835 is the man120 that trusts982 in you.

85

1 To the chief5329 Musician,5329 A Psalm4210 for the sons1121 of Korah.7141 Lord,3068 you have been favorable7521 to your land:776 you have brought7725 back7725 the captivity7622 of Jacob.3290

2 You have forgiven5375 the iniquity5771 of your people,5971 you have covered3680 all3605 their sin.2403 Selah.5542

3 You have taken5375 away all3605 your wrath:5678 you have turned7725 yourself from the fierceness2740 of your anger.639

4 Turn7725 us, O God430 of our salvation,3468 and cause your anger3708 toward5973 us to cease.6565

5 Will you be angry599 with us for ever?5769 will you draw4900 out your anger639 to all3605 generations?1755

6 Will you not revive2421 us again:7725 that your people5971 may rejoice8055 in you?

7 Show7200 us your mercy,2617 O LORD,3068 and grant5414 us your salvation.3468

8 I will hear8085 what4100 God410 the LORD3068 will speak:1696 for he will speak1696 peace7965 to his people,5971 and to his saints:2623 but let them not turn7725 again7725 to folly.3690

9 Surely389 his salvation3468 is near7138 them that fear3373 him; that glory3519 may dwell7931 in our land.776

10 Mercy2617 and truth571 are met6298 together; righteousness6664 and peace7965 have kissed5401 each other.

11 Truth571 shall spring6779 out of the earth;776 and righteousness6664 shall look8259 down from heaven.8064

12 Yes,1571 the LORD3068 shall give5414 that which is good;2896 and our land776 shall yield5414 her increase.2981

13 Righteousness6664 shall go1980 before6440 him; and shall set7760 us in the way1870 of his steps.6471

86

1 A Prayer8605 of David.1732 Bow5186 down5186 your ear,241 O LORD,3068 hear6030 me: for I am poor6041 and needy.34

2 Preserve8104 my soul;5315 for I am holy:2623 O you my God,430 save3467 your servant5650 that trusts982 in you.

3 Be merciful2603 to me, O Lord:136 for I cry7121 to you daily.3605 3117

4 Rejoice8055 the soul5315 of your servant:5650 for to you, O Lord,136 do I lift5375 up my soul.5315

5 For you, Lord,136 are good,2896 and ready to forgive;5546 and plenteous7227 in mercy2617 to all3605 them that call7121 on you.

6 Give ear,238 O LORD,3068 to my prayer;8605 and attend7181 to the voice6963 of my supplications.8469

7 In the day3117 of my trouble6869 I will call7121 on you: for you will answer6030 me.

8 Among the gods430 there is none369 like to you, O Lord;136 neither369 are there any works 4639like to your works.

9 All3605 nations1471 whom834 you have made6213 shall come935 and worship7812 before6440 you, O Lord;136 and shall glorify3513 your name.8034

10 For you are great,1419 and do6213 wondrous6381 things: you are God430 alone.905

11 Teach3384 me your way,1870 O LORD;3068 I will walk1980 in your truth:571 unite3161 my heart3824 to fear3372 your name.8034

12 I will praise3034 you, O Lord136 my God,430 with all3605 my heart:3824 and I will glorify3513 your name8034 for ever more.5769

13 For great1419 is your mercy2617 toward5921 me: and you have delivered5337 my soul5315 from the lowest8482 hell.7585

14 O God,430 the proud2086 are risen6965 against5921 me, and the assemblies5712 of violent6184 men have sought1245 after my soul;5315 and have not set7760 you before5048 them.

15 But you, O Lord,136 are a God410 full of compassion,7349 and gracious,2587 long suffering,750 639 and plenteous7227 in mercy2617 and truth.571

16 O turn6437 to me, and have mercy2603 on me; give5414 your strength5797 to your servant,5650 and save3467 the son1121 of your handmaid.519

17 Show6213 me a token226 for good;2896 that they which hate8130 me may see7200 it, and be ashamed:954 because3588 you, LORD,3068 have helped5826 me, and comforted5162 me.

1 A Psalm4210 or Song7892 for the sons1121 of Korah.7141 His foundation3248 is in the holy6944 mountains.2042

2 The LORD3068 loves157 the gates8179 of Zion6726 more than all3605 the dwellings4908 of Jacob.3290

3 Glorious3513 things are spoken1696 of you, O city5892 of God.430 Selah.5542

4 I will make mention2142 of Rahab7294 and Babylon894 to them that know3045 me: behold2009 Philistia,6429 and Tyre,6865 with Ethiopia;3568 this2088 man was born3205 there.8033

5 And of Zion6726 it shall be said,559 This and that man376 was born3205 in her: and the highest5945 himself1931 shall establish3559 her.

6 The LORD3068 shall count,5608 when he writes3789 up the people,5971 that this2088 man was born3205 there.8033 Selah.5542

7 As well the singers7891 as the players2490 on instruments shall be there: all3605 my springs4599 are in you.

1 A Song7892 or Psalm4210 for the sons1121 of Korah,7141 to the chief5329 Musician5329 upon Mahalath4257 Leannoth,6030 Maschil4905 of Heman1968 the Ezrahite.250 O lord3068 God430 of my salvation,3444 I have cried6817 day3117 and night3915 before5048 you:

2 Let my prayer8605 come935 before6440 you: incline5186 your ear241 to my cry;7440

3 For my soul5315 is full7654 of troubles:7451 and my life2416 draws near5060 to the grave.7585

4 I am counted2803 with them that go3381 down3381 into the pit:953 I am1961 as a man1397 that has no369 strength:353

5 Free2670 among the dead,4191 like3644 the slain2491 that lie7901 in the grave,6913 whom834 you remember2142 no3808 more:5750 and they are cut1504 off from your hand.3027

6 You have laid7896 me in the lowest8482 pit,953 in darkness,4285 in the deeps.4688

7 Your wrath2534 lies5564 hard5564 on me, and you have afflicted6031 me with all3605 your waves.4867 Selah.5542

8 You have put7368 away7368 my acquaintance3045 far7368 from me; you have made7896 me an abomination8441 to them: I am shut3607 up, and I cannot3808 come3318 forth.3318

9 My eye5869 mourns1669 by reason4480 of affliction:6040 LORD,3068 I have called7121 daily3605 3117 on you, I have stretched7849 out my hands3709 to you.

10 Will you show6213 wonders6382 to the dead?4191 shall the dead7496 arise6965 and praise3034 you? Selah.5542

11 Shall your loving kindness2617 be declared5608 in the grave?6913 or your faithfulness530 in destruction?11

12 Shall your wonders6382 be known3045 in the dark?2822 and your righteousness6666 in the land776 of forgetfulness?5388

13 But to you have I cried,7768 O LORD;3068 and in the morning1242 shall my prayer8605 prevent6923 you.

14 LORD,3068 why4100 cast2186 you off my soul?5315 why hide5641 you your face6440 from me?

15 I am afflicted6041 and ready to die1478 from my youth5290 up: while I suffer5375 your terrors367 I am distracted.6323

16 Your fierce wrath2740 goes5674 over5674 me; your terrors1161 have cut6789 me off.

17 They came5437 round5437 about me daily3605 3117 like water;4325 they compassed5362 me about together.3162

18 Lover157 and friend7453 have you put7368 far7368 from me, and my acquaintance3045 into darkness.4285

89

1 Maschil4905 of Ethan387 the Ezrahite.250 I will sing7891 of the mercies2617 of the LORD3068 for ever:5769 with my mouth6310 will I make known3045 your faithfulness530 to all generations.1755

2 For I have said,559 Mercy2617 shall be built1129 up for ever:5769 your faithfulness530 shall you establish3559 in the very heavens.8064

3 I have made3772 a covenant1285 with my chosen,972 I have sworn7650 to David1732 my servant,5650

4 Your seed2233 will I establish3559 for ever,5769 and build1129 up your throne3678 to all generations.1755 Selah.5542

5 And the heavens8064 shall praise3034 your wonders,6382 O LORD:3068 your faithfulness530 also637 in the congregation6951 of the saints.6918

6 For who4310 in the heaven7834 can be compared6186 to the LORD?3068 who among the sons1121 of the mighty410 can be likened1819 to the LORD?3068

7 God410 is greatly7227 to be feared6206 in the assembly5475 of the saints,6918 and to be had in reverence3372 of all3605 them that are about5439 him.

8 O LORD3068 God430 of hosts,6635 who4310 is a strong2626 LORD3050 like3644 to you? or to your faithfulness530 round5439 about you?

9 You rule4910 the raging1348 of the sea:3220 when the waves1530 thereof arise,7721 you still7623 them.

10 You have broken1792 Rahab7294 in pieces, as one that is slain;2491 you have scattered6340 your enemies341 with your strong5797 arm.2220

11 The heavens8064 are yours, the earth776 also637 is yours: as for the world8398 and the fullness4393 thereof, you have founded3245 them.

12 The north6828 and the south3225 you have created1254 them: Tabor8396 and Hermon2768 shall rejoice7442 in your name.8034

13 You have a mighty1369 arm:2220 strong5810 is your hand,3027 and high7311 is your right3225 hand.3225

14 Justice6664 and judgment4941 are the habitation4349 of your throne:3678 mercy2617 and truth571 shall go6923 before your face.6440

15 Blessed835 is the people5971 that know3045 the joyful8643 sound:8643 they shall walk,1980 O LORD,3068 in the light216 of your countenance.6440

16 In your name8034 shall they rejoice1523 all3605 the day:3117 and in your righteousness6666 shall they be exalted.7311

17 For you are the glory8597 of their strength:5797 and in your favor7522 our horn7161 shall be exalted.7311

18 For the LORD3068 is our defense;4043 and the Holy6918 One of Israel3478 is our king.4428

19 Then227 you spoke1696 in vision2377 to your holy2623 one, and said,559 I have laid7737 help5828 on one that is mighty;1368 I have exalted7311 one chosen970 out of the people.5971

20 I have found4672 David1732 my servant;5650 with my holy6944 oil8081 have I anointed4886 him:

21 With whom834 my hand3027 shall be established:3559 my arm2220 also637 shall strengthen553 him.

22 The enemy341 shall not exact5378 on him; nor3808 the son1121 of wickedness5766 afflict6031 him.

23 And I will beat3807 down his foes6862 before his face,6440 and plague5063 them that hate8130 him.

24 But my faithfulness530 and my mercy2617 shall be with him: and in my name8034 shall his horn7161 be exalted.7311

25 I will set7760 his hand3027 also in the sea,3220 and his right3225 hand3225 in the rivers.5104

26 He shall cry7121 to me, You are my father,1 my God,410 and the rock6697 of my salvation.3444

27 Also637 I will make5414 him my firstborn,1060 higher5945 than the kings4428 of the earth.776

28 My mercy2617 will I keep8104 for him for ever more,5769 and my covenant1285 shall stand539 fast with him.

29 His seed2233 also will I make7760 to endure for ever,5703 and his throne3678 as the days3117 of heaven.8064

30 If518 his children1121 forsake5800 my law,8451 and walk3212 not in my judgments;4941

31 If518 they break2490 my statutes,2708 and keep8104 not my commandments;4687

32 Then will I visit6485 their transgression6588 with the rod,7626 and their iniquity5771 with stripes.5061

33 Nevertheless my loving kindness2617 will I not utterly take6331 from him, nor3808 suffer my faithfulness530 to fail.8266

34 My covenant1285 will I not break,2490 nor3808 alter8138 the thing that is gone4161 out of my lips.8193

35 Once259 have I sworn7650 by my holiness6944 that I will not lie3576 to David.1732

36 His seed2233 shall endure1961 for ever,5769 and his throne3678 as the sun8121 before5048 me.

37 It shall be established3559 for ever5769 as the moon,3394 and as a faithful539 witness5707 in heaven.7834 Selah.5542

38 But you have cast2186 off and abhorred,3988 you have been wroth5674 with your anointed.4899

39 You have made void5010 the covenant1285 of your servant:5650 you have profaned2490 his crown5145 by casting it to the ground.776

40 You have broken6555 down all3605 his hedges;1448 you have brought7760 his strong4013 holds4013 to ruin.4288

41 All3605 that pass5674 by the way1870 spoil8155 him: he is a reproach2781 to his neighbors.7934

42 You have set7311 up the right3225 hand3225 of his adversaries;6862 you have made all3605 his enemies341 to rejoice.8055

43 You have also637 turned7725 the edge6697 of his sword,2719 and have not made him to stand6965 in the battle.4421

44 You have made his glory2892 to cease,7673 and cast4048 his throne3678 down to the ground.776

45 The days3117 of his youth5934 have you shortened:7114 you have covered5844 him with shame.955 Selah.5542

46 How5704 long,5704 LORD?3068 will you hide5641 yourself for ever?5331 shall your wrath2534 burn1197 like fire?784

47 Remember2142 how4100 short2465 my time is: why5921 4100 have you made all3605 men1121 120 in vain?7723

48 What4310 man1397 is he that lives,2421 and shall not see7200 death?4194 shall he deliver4422 his soul5315 from the hand3027 of the grave?7585 Selah.5542

49 Lord,136 where346 are your former7223 loving kindnesses,2617 which you swore7650 to David1732 in your truth?530

50 Remember,2142 Lord,136 the reproach2781 of your servants;5650 how I do bear5375 in my bosom2436 the reproach of all3605 the mighty7227 people;5971

51 With834 which your enemies341 have reproached,2778 O LORD;3068 with which834 they have reproached2778 the footsteps6119 of your anointed.4899

52 Blessed1288 be the LORD3068 for ever more.5769 Amen,543 and Amen.543

1 A Prayer8605 of Moses4872 the man376 of God.430 Lord,136 you have been1961 our dwelling4583 place in all generations.1755

2 Before2962 the mountains2022 were brought3205 forth,3205 or ever you had formed2342 the earth776 and the world,8398 even from everlasting5769 to everlasting,5769 you are God.410

3 You turn7725 man582 to destruction;1793 and say,559 Return,7725 you children1121 of men.120

4 For a thousand505 years8141 in your sight5869 are but as yesterday865 when3588 it is past,5674 and as a watch821 in the night.3915

5 You carry2229 them away as with a flood;2229 they are as a sleep:8142 in the morning1242 they are like grass2682 which grows2498 up.

6 In the morning1242 it flourishes,6692 and grows2498 up; in the evening6153 it is cut4135 down, and wither.3001

7 For we are consumed3615 by your anger,639 and by your wrath2534 are we troubled.926

8 You have set7896 our iniquities5771 before5048 you, our secret5956 sins in the light3974 of your countenance.6440

9 For all3605 our days3117 are passed6437 away in your wrath:5678 we spend3615 our years8141 as a tale1899 that is told.

10 The days3117 of our years8141 are three score7657 years8141 and ten; and if518 by reason of strength1369 they be fourscore8084 years,8141 yet is their strength7296 labor5999 and sorrow;205 for it is soon2440 cut1504 off, and we fly5774 away.

11 Who4310 knows3045 the power5797 of your anger?639 even according to your fear,3374 so is your wrath.5678

12 So3651 teach3045 us to number4487 our days,3117 that we may apply935 our hearts3824 to wisdom.2451

13 Return,7725 O LORD,3068 how5704 long?5704 and let it repent5162 you concerning5921 your servants.5650

14 O satisfy7646 us early1242 with your mercy;2617 that we may rejoice7442 and be glad8056 all3605 our days.3117

15 Make us glad8056 according to the days3117 wherein you have afflicted6031 us, and the years8141 wherein we have seen7200 evil.7451

16 Let your work6467 appear7200 to your servants,5650 and your glory1926 to their children.1121

17 And let the beauty5278 of the LORD3068 our God430 be on us: and establish3559 you the work4639 of our hands3027 on us; yes, the work4639 of our hands3027 establish3559 you it.

91

1 He that dwells3427 in the secret5643 place of the most5945 High5945 shall abide3885 under the shadow6738 of the Almighty.7706

2 I will say559 of the LORD,3068 He is my refuge4268 and my fortress:4686 my God;430 in him will I trust.982

3 Surely3588 he shall deliver5337 you from the snare6341 of the fowler,3353 and from the noisome1942 pestilence.1698

4 He shall cover5526 you with his feathers,84 and under8478 his wings3671 shall you trust:2620 his truth571 shall be your shield6793 and buckler.5507

5 You shall not be afraid3372 for the terror6343 by night;3915 nor for the arrow2671 that flies5774 by day;3119

6 Nor for the pestilence1698 that walks1980 in darkness;652 nor for the destruction6986 that wastes7736 at noonday.6672

7 A thousand505 shall fall5307 at your side,6654 and ten7233 thousand7233 at your right3225 hand;3225 but it shall not come5066 near5066 you.

8 Only7535 with your eyes5869 shall you behold5027 and see7200 the reward8011 of the wicked.7563

9 Because3588 you have made7760 the LORD,3068 which is my refuge,4268 even the most5945 High,5945 your habitation;4583

10 There shall no3808 evil7451 befall579 you, neither3808 shall any plague5061 come7126 near7126 your dwelling.168

11 For he shall give his angels4397 charge6680 over you, to keep8104 you in all3605 your ways.1870

12 They shall bear5375 you up in their hands,3709 lest6435 you dash5062 your foot7272 against a stone.68

13 You shall tread1869 on the lion7826 and adder:6620 the young3715 lion3715 and the dragon8577 shall you trample7429 under feet.6471

14 Because3588 he has set his love2836 on me, therefore will I deliver6403 him: I will set him on high,7682 because3588 he has known3045 my name.8034

15 He shall call7121 on me, and I will answer6030 him: I will be with him in trouble;6869 I will deliver2502 him, and honor3519 him.

16 With long753 life3117 will I satisfy7646 him, and show7200 him my salvation.3444

92

1 A Psalm4210 or Song7892 for the sabbath7676 day.3117 It is a good2896 thing to give thanks3034 unto the LORD,3068 and to sing2167 praises unto thy name,8034 O most5945 High:5945

2 To show5046 forth your loving kindness2617 in the morning,1242 and your faithfulness530 every night,3915

3 On an instrument of ten6218 strings, and on the psaltery;5035 on the harp3658 with a solemn sound.1902

4 For you, LORD,3068 have made me glad8056 through your work:6467 I will triumph7442 in the works4639 of your hands.3027

5 O LORD,3068 how4100 great1431 are your works!4639 and your thoughts4284 are very3966 deep.6009

6 A brutish1197 man376 knows3045 not; neither3808 does a fool3684 understand995 this.2063

7 When the wicked7563 spring6524 as the grass,6212 and when all3605 the workers6466 of iniquity205 do flourish;6692 it is that they shall be destroyed8045 for ever:5703

8 But you, LORD,3068 are most high4791 for ever more.5769

9 For, see,2009 your enemies,341 O LORD,3068 for, see,2009 your enemies341 shall perish;6 all3605 the workers6466 of iniquity205 shall be scattered.6504

10 But my horn7161 shall you exalt7311 like the horn of an unicorn:7214 I shall be anointed1101 with fresh7488 oil.8081

11 My eye5869 also shall see5027 my desire on my enemies,7790 and my ears241 shall hear8085 my desire of the wicked7489 that rise6965 up against5921 me.

12 The righteous6662 shall flourish6524 like the palm8558 tree: he shall grow7685 like a cedar730 in Lebanon.3844

13 Those that be planted8362 in the house1004 of the LORD3068 shall flourish6524 in the courts2691 of our God.430

14 They shall still5750 bring5107 forth5107 fruit5107 in old7872 age;7872 they shall be fat1879 and flourishing;7488

15 To show5046 that the LORD3068 is upright:3477 he is my rock,6697 and there is no3808 unrighteousness5766 in him.

93

1 The LORD3068 reigns,4427 he is clothed3847 with majesty;1348 the LORD3068 is clothed3847 with strength,5797 with which he has girded247 himself: the world8398 also389 is established,3559 that it cannot1077 be moved.4131

2 Your throne3678 is established3559 of old:227 you are from everlasting.5769

3 The floods5104 have lifted5375 up, O LORD,3068 the floods5104 have lifted5375 up their voice;6963 the floods5104 lift5375 up their waves.1796

4 The LORD3068 on high4791 is mightier117 than the noise6963 of many7227 waters,4325 yes, than the mighty117 waves4867 of the sea.3220

5 Your testimonies5713 are very3966 sure:539 holiness6944 becomes4998 your house,1004 O LORD,3068 for ever.753 3117

94

1 O Lord3068 God,410 to whom vengeance5360 belongs; O God,410 to whom vengeance5360 belongs, show3313 yourself.

2 Lift5375 up yourself, you judge8199 of the earth:776 render7725 a reward1576 to the proud.1343

3 LORD,3068 how5704 long5704 shall the wicked,7563 how5704 long5704 shall the wicked7563 triumph?5937

4 How long5704 shall they utter5042 and speak1696 hard6277 things? and all3605 the workers6466 of iniquity205 boast559 themselves?

5 They break1792 in pieces your people,5971 O LORD,3068 and afflict6031 your heritage.5159

6 They slay2026 the widow490 and the stranger,1616 and murder7523 the fatherless.3490

7 Yet they say,559 The LORD3050 shall not see,7200 neither3808 shall the God430 of Jacob3290 regard995 it.

8 Understand,995 you brutish1197 among the people:5971 and you fools,3684 when4970 will you be wise?7919

9 He that planted5193 the ear,241 shall he not hear?8085 he that formed3335 the eye,5869 shall he not see?5027

10 He that chastises3256 the heathen,1471 shall not he correct?3198 he that teaches3925 man120 knowledge,1847 shall not he know?

11 The LORD3068 knows3045 the thoughts4284 of man,120 that they are vanity.1892

12 Blessed835 is the man1397 whom834 you chasten,3256 O LORD,3050 and teach3925 him out of your law;8451

13 That you may give him rest8252 from the days3117 of adversity,7451 until5704 the pit7845 be dig3738 for the wicked.7563

14 For the LORD3068 will not cast5203 off his people,5971 neither3808 will he forsake5800 his inheritance.5159

15 But judgment4941 shall return7725 to righteousness:6664 and all3605 the upright3477 in heart3820 shall follow310 it.

16 Who4310 will rise6965 up for me against5973 the evildoers?7489 or who4310 will stand3320 up for me against5973 the workers6466 of iniquity?205

17 Unless3884 the LORD3068 had been my help,5833 my soul5315 had almost4592 dwelled7931 in silence.1745

18 When518 I said,559 My foot7272 slips;4131 your mercy,2617 O LORD,3068 held5582 me up.

19 In the multitude7230 of my thoughts8312 within7130 me your comforts8575 delight8173 my soul.5315

20 Shall the throne3678 of iniquity1942 have fellowship2266 with you, which frames3335 mischief5999 by a law?2706

21 They gather1413 themselves together against5921 the soul5315 of the righteous,6662 and condemn7561 the innocent5355 blood.1818

22 But the LORD3068 is my defense;4869 and my God430 is the rock6697 of my refuge.4268

23 And he shall bring7725 on them their own iniquity,205 and shall cut6789 them off in their own wickedness;7451 yes, the LORD3068 our God430 shall cut6789 them off.

95

1 O come,3212 let us sing7442 to the LORD:3068 let us make a joyful noise to the rock6697 of our salvation.3468

2 Let us come6923 before6924 his presence6440 with thanksgiving,8426 and make a joyful noise to him with psalms.2158

3 For the LORD3068 is a great1419 God,410 and a great1419 King4428 above5921 all3605 gods.430

4 In his hand3027 are the deep4278 places of the earth:776 the strength8443 of the hills2022 is his also.

5 The sea3220 is his, and he made6213 it: and his hands3027 formed3335 the dry3006 land.

6 O come,935 let us worship7812 and bow3766 down:3766 let us kneel1288 before6440 the LORD3068 our maker.6213

7 For he is our God;430 and we are the people5971 of his pasture,4830 and the sheep6629 of his hand.3027 To day3117 if518 you will hear8085 his voice,6963

8 Harden7185 not your heart,3824 as in the provocation,4808 and as in the day3117 of temptation4531 in the wilderness:4057

9 When834 your fathers1 tempted5254 me, proved974 me, and saw7200 my work.6467

10 Forty705 years8141 long was I grieved6962 with this generation,1755 and said,559 It is a people5971 that do err8582 in their heart,3824 and they have not known3045 my ways:1870

11 To whom834 I swore7650 in my wrath639 that they should not enter935 into413 my rest.4496

96

1 O sing7891 to the LORD3068 a new2319 song:7892 sing7891 to the LORD,3068 all3605 the earth.776

2 Sing7891 to the LORD,3068 bless1288 his name;8034 show1319 forth his salvation3444 from day3117 to day.3117

3 Declare5608 his glory3519 among the heathen,1471 his wonders6381 among all3605 people.5971

4 For the LORD3068 is great,1419 and greatly3966 to be praised:1984 he is to be feared3372 above5921 all3605 gods.430

5 For all3605 the gods430 of the nations5971 are idols:457 but the LORD3068 made6213 the heavens.8064

6 Honor1935 and majesty1926 are before6440 him: strength5797 and beauty8597 are in his sanctuary.4720

7 Give3051 to the LORD,3068 O you kindreds4940 of the people,5971 give3051 to the LORD3068 glory3519 and strength.5797

8 Give3051 to the LORD3068 the glory3519 due to his name:8034 bring5375 an offering,4503 and come935 into his courts.2691

9 O worship7812 the LORD3068 in the beauty1927 of holiness:6944 fear2342 before6440 him, all3605 the earth.776

10 Say559 among the heathen1471 that the LORD3068 reigns:4427 the world8398 also637 shall be established3559 that it shall not be moved:4131 he shall judge1777 the people5971 righteously.4339

11 Let the heavens8064 rejoice,8056 and let the earth776 be glad;1523 let the sea3220 roar,7481 and the fullness4393 thereof.

12 Let the field7704 be joyful,5937 and all3605 that is therein: then227 shall all3605 the trees6086 of the wood3293 rejoice7442

13 Before6440 the LORD:3068 for he comes,935 for he comes935 to judge8199 the earth:776 he shall judge8199 the world8398 with righteousness,6664 and the people5971 with his truth.530

97

1 The LORD3068 reigns;4427 let the earth776 rejoice;1523 let the multitude7227 of isles339 be glad8056 thereof.

2 Clouds6051 and darkness6205 are round5439 about him: righteousness6664 and judgment4941 are the habitation4349 of his throne.3678

3 A fire784 goes3212 before6440 him, and burns3857 up his enemies6862 round5439 about.

4 His lightning1300 enlightened215 the world:8398 the earth776 saw,7200 and trembled.2342

5 The hills2022 melted4549 like wax1749 at the presence6440 of the LORD,3068 at the presence6440 of the Lord113 of the whole3605 earth.776

6 The heavens8064 declare5046 his righteousness,6664 and all3605 the people5971 see7200 his glory.3519

7 Confounded954 be all3605 they that serve5647 graven6459 images, that boast1984 themselves of idols:457 worship7812 him, all3605 you gods.430

8 Zion6726 heard,8085 and was glad;8056 and the daughters1323 of Judah3063 rejoiced1523 because4616 of your judgments,4941 O LORD.3068

9 For you, LORD,3068 are high5945 above5921 all3605 the earth:776 you are exalted5927 far3966 above5921 all3605 gods.430

10 You that love157 the LORD,3068 hate8130 evil:7451 he preserves8104 the souls5315 of his saints;2623 he delivers5337 them out of the hand3027 of the wicked.7563

11 Light216 is sown2232 for the righteous,6662 and gladness8057 for the upright3477 in heart.3820

12 Rejoice8055 in the LORD,3068 you righteous;6662 and give thanks3034 at the remembrance2143 of his holiness.6944

98

1 A Psalm.4210 O sing7891 to the LORD3068 a new2319 song;7892 for he has done6213 marvelous6381 things: his right3225 hand,3225 and his holy6944 arm,2220 has gotten him the victory.3467

2 The LORD3068 has made known3045 his salvation:3444 his righteousness6666 has he openly showed1540 in the sight5869 of the heathen.1471

3 He has remembered2142 his mercy2617 and his truth530 toward the house1004 of Israel:3478 all3605 the ends657 of the earth776 have seen7200 the salvation3444 of our God.430

4 Make a joyful noise to the LORD,3068 all3605 the earth:776 make a loud noise,6476 and rejoice,7442 and sing2167 praise.

5 Sing2167 to the LORD3068 with the harp;3658 with the harp,3658 and the voice6963 of a psalm.2172

6 With trumpets2689 and sound6963 of cornet7782 make a joyful noise before6440 the LORD,3068 the King.4428

7 Let the sea3220 roar,7481 and the fullness4393 thereof; the world,8398 and they that dwell3427 therein.

8 Let the floods5104 clap4222 their hands:3709 let the hills2022 be joyful7442 together3162

9 Before6440 the LORD;3068 for he comes935 to judge8199 the earth:776 with righteousness6664 shall he judge8199 the world,8398 and the people5971 with equity.4339

99

1 The LORD3068 reigns;4427 let the people5971 tremble:7264 he sits3427 between the cherubim;3742 let the earth776 be moved.5120

2 The LORD3068 is great1419 in Zion;6726 and he is high7311 above5921 all3605 the people.5971

3 Let them praise3034 your great1419 and terrible3372 name;8034 for it is holy.6918

4 The king's4428 strength5797 also loves157 judgment;4941 you do establish3559 equity,4339 you execute6213 judgment4941 and righteousness6666 in Jacob.3290

5 Exalt7311 you the LORD3068 our God,430 and worship7812 at his footstool;1916 7272 for he is holy.6918

6 Moses4872 and Aaron175 among his priests,3548 and Samuel8050 among them that call7121 on his name;8034 they called7121 on the LORD,3068 and he answered6030 them.

7 He spoke1696 to them in the cloudy6051 pillar:5982 they kept8104 his testimonies,5713 and the ordinance2706 that he gave5414 them.

8 You answered6030 them, O LORD3068 our God:430 you were1961 a God410 that forgave5375 them, though you took vengeance5358 of their inventions.5949

9 Exalt7311 the LORD3068 our God,430 and worship7812 at his holy6944 hill;2022 for the LORD3068 our God430 is holy.6918

100

1 A Psalm4210 of praise.8426 Make a joyful noise to the LORD,3068 all3605 you lands.776

2 Serve5647 the LORD3068 with gladness:8057 come935 before his presence6440 with singing.7445

3 Know3045 you that the LORD3068 he is God:430 it is he that has made6213 us, and not we ourselves;587 we are his people,5971 and the sheep6629 of his pasture.4830

4 Enter935 into his gates8179 with thanksgiving,8426 and into his courts2691 with praise:8416 be thankful3034 to him, and bless1288 his name.8034

5 For the LORD3068 is good;2896 his mercy2617 is everlasting;5769 and his truth530 endures to all generations.1755

101

1 A Psalm4210 of David.1732 I will sing7891 of mercy2617 and judgment:4941 to you, O LORD,3068 will I sing.2167

2 I will behave7919 myself wisely7919 in a perfect8549 way.1870 O when4970 will you come935 to me? I will walk1980 within7130 my house1004 with a perfect8537 heart.3824

3 I will set7896 no3808 wicked1100 thing1697 before5048 my eyes:5869 I hate8130 the work6213 of them that turn7750 aside;7750 it shall not stick1692 to me.

4 A fraudulent6141 heart3820 shall depart5493 from me: I will not know3045 a wicked7451 person.

5 Whoever privately5643 slanders3960 his neighbor,7453 him will I cut6789 off: him that has an high1362 look5869 and a proud7342 heart3824 will not I suffer.3201

6 My eyes5869 shall be on the faithful539 of the land,776 that they may dwell3427 with me: he that walks1980 in a perfect8549 way,1870 he shall serve8334 me.

7 He that works6213 deceit7423 shall not dwell3427 within7130 my house:1004 he that tells1696 lies8267 shall not tarry3559 in my sight.5869

8 I will early1242 destroy6789 all3605 the wicked7563 of the land;776 that I may cut3772 off all3605 wicked205 doers6466 from the city5892 of the LORD.3068

1 A Prayer8605 of the afflicted,6041 when3588 he is overwhelmed,5848 and poureth8210 out his complaint7879 before6440 the LORD.3068 Hear8085 my prayer,8605 O LORD,3068 and let my cry7775 come935 to you.

2 Hide5641 not your face6440 from me in the day3117 when I am in trouble;6862 incline5186 your ear241 to me: in the day3117 when I call7121 answer6030 me speedily.4118

3 For my days3117 are consumed3615 like smoke,6227 and my bones6106 are burned2787 as an hearth.4168

4 My heart3824 is smitten,5221 and withered3001 like grass;6212 so that I forget7911 to eat398 my bread.3899

5 By reason of the voice6963 of my groaning585 my bones6106 stick1692 to my skin.1320

6 I am1961 like1819 a pelican6893 of the wilderness:4057 I am1961 like an owl3563 of the desert.2723

7 I watch,8245 and am as a sparrow6833 alone909 on the house top.1406

8 My enemies341 reproach2778 me all3605 the day;3117 and they that are mad1984 against me are sworn7650 against me.

9 For I have eaten398 ashes665 like bread,3899 and mingled4537 my drink8249 with weeping.1065

10 Because6440 of your indignation2195 and your wrath:7110 for you have lifted5375 me up, and cast7993 me down.

11 My days3117 are like a shadow6738 that declines;5186 and I am withered3001 like grass.6212

12 But you, O LORD,3068 shall endure3427 for ever;5769 and your remembrance2143 to all generations.1755

13 You shall arise,6965 and have mercy7355 on Zion:6726 for the time6256 to favor2603 her, yes,3588 the set time, is come.935

14 For your servants5650 take pleasure7521 in her stones,68 and favor2603 the dust6083 thereof.

15 So the heathen1471 shall fear3372 the name8034 of the LORD,3068 and all3605 the kings4428 of the earth776 your glory.3519

16 When3588 the LORD3068 shall build1129 up Zion,6726 he shall appear7200 in his glory.3519

17 He will regard6437 the prayer8605 of the destitute,6199 and not despise959 their prayer.8605

18 This2088 shall be written3789 for the generation1755 to come:314 and the people5971 which shall be created1254 shall praise1984 the LORD.3050

19 For he has looked8259 down from the height4791 of his sanctuary;6944 from heaven8064 did the LORD3068 behold5027 the earth;776

20 To hear8085 the groaning603 of the prisoner;615 to loose6605 those that are appointed1121 to death;8546

21 To declare5608 the name8034 of the LORD3068 in Zion,6726 and his praise8416 in Jerusalem;3389

22 When the people5971 are gathered6908 together,3162 and the kingdoms,4467 to serve5647 the LORD.3068

23 He weakened6031 my strength3581 in the way;1870 he shortened7114 my days.3117

24 I said,559 O my God,410 take5927 me not away in the middle2677 of my days:3117 your years8141 are throughout all generations.1755

25 Of old6440 have you laid the foundation3245 of the earth:776 and the heavens8064 are the work4639 of your hands.3027

26 They shall perish,6 but you shall endure:5975 yes, all3605 of them shall wax old1086 like1819 a garment;899 as a clothing3830 shall you change2498 them, and they shall be changed:2498

27 But you are the same,1931 and your years8141 shall have no3808 end.8552

28 The children1121 of your servants5650 shall continue,7931 and their seed2233 shall be established3559 before6440 you.

103

1 A Psalm of David.1732 Bless1288 the LORD,3068 O my soul:5315 and all3605 that is within7130 me, bless his holy6944 name.8034

2 Bless1288 the LORD,3068 O my soul,5315 and forget7911 not all3605 his benefits:1576

3 Who forgives5545 all3605 your iniquities;5771 who heals7495 all3605 your diseases;8463

4 Who redeems1350 your life2416 from destruction;7845 who crowns5849 you with loving kindness2617 and tender mercies;7356

5 Who satisfies7646 your mouth5716 with good2896 things; so that your youth5271 is renewed2318 like the eagle's.5404

6 The LORD3068 executes6213 righteousness6666 and judgment4941 for all3605 that are oppressed.6231

7 He made known3045 his ways1870 to Moses,4872 his acts5949 to the children1121 of Israel.3478

8 The LORD3068 is merciful7349 and gracious,2587 slow750 to anger,639 and plenteous7227 in mercy.2617

9 He will not always5331 chide:7378 neither3808 will he keep5201 his anger for ever.5769

10 He has not dealt6213 with us after our sins;2399 nor3808 rewarded1580 us according to our iniquities.5771

11 For as the heaven8064 is high1361 above5921 the earth,776 so great1396 is his mercy2617 toward5921 them that fear3373 him.

12 As far7350 as the east4217 is from the west,4628 so far7350 has he removed7368 our transgressions6588 from us.

13 Like as a father1 pities7355 his children,1121 so the LORD3068 pities7355 them that fear3373 him.

14 For he knows3045 our frame;3336 he remembers2142 that we are dust.6083

15 As for man,582 his days3117 are as grass:2682 as a flower6731 of the field,7704 so3652 he flourishes.6692

16 For the wind7307 passes5674 over5674 it, and it is gone;369 and the place4725 thereof shall know5234 it no3808 more.5750

17 But the mercy2617 of the LORD3068 is from everlasting5769 to everlasting5769 on them that fear3373 him, and his righteousness6666 to children's1121 children;1121

18 To such as keep8104 his covenant,1285 and to those that remember2142 his commandments6490 to do6213 them.

19 The LORD3068 has prepared3559 his throne3678 in the heavens;8064 and his kingdom4438 rules4910 over all.3605

20 Bless1288 the LORD,3068 you his angels,4397 that excel1368 in strength,3581 that do6213 his commandments,1697 hearkening8085 to the voice6963 of his word.1697

21 Bless1288 you the LORD,3068 all3605 you his hosts;6635 you ministers8334 of his, that do6213 his pleasure.7522

22 Bless1288 the LORD,3068 all3605 his works4639 in all3605 places4725 of his dominion:4475 bless1288 the LORD,3068 O my soul.5315

104

1 Bless1288 the LORD,3068 O my soul.5315 O LORD3068 my God,430 you are very3966 great;1431 you are clothed3847 with honor1935 and majesty.1926

2 Who cover5844 yourself with light216 as with a garment:8008 who stretch5186 out the heavens8064 like a curtain:3407

3 Who lays7760 the beams7136 of his chambers5944 in the waters:4325 who makes7760 the clouds5645 his chariot:7398 who walks1980 on the wings3671 of the wind:7307

4 Who makes6213 his angels4397 spirits;7307 his ministers8334 a flaming3857 fire:784

5 Who laid the foundations4349 of the earth,776 that it should not be removed4131 for ever.5769 5703

6 You covered3680 it with the deep8415 as with a garment:3830 the waters4325 stood5975 above5921 the mountains.2022

7 At4480 your rebuke1606 they fled;5127 at4480 the voice6963 of your thunder7482 they hurried2648 away.

8 They go5927 up by the mountains;2022 they go3381 down3381 by the valleys1237 to the place4725 which2088 you have founded3245 for them.

9 You have set7760 a bound1366 that they may not pass5674 over;5674 that they turn7725 not again7725 to cover3680 the earth.776

10 He sends7971 the springs4599 into the valleys,5158 which run1980 among996 the hills.2022

11 They give drink8248 to every3605 beast2416 of the field:7704 the wild6501 asses6501 quench7665 their thirst.6772

12 By them shall the fowls5775 of the heaven8064 have their habitation,7931 which sing5414 6963 among996 the branches.6073

13 He waters8248 the hills2022 from his chambers:5944 the earth776 is satisfied7646 with the fruit6529 of your works.4639

14 He causes the grass2682 to grow6779 for the cattle,929 and herb6212 for the service5656 of man:120 that he may bring3318 forth3318 food3899 out of the earth;776

15 And wine3196 that makes glad8056 the heart3824 of man,582 and oil8081 to make his face6440 to shine,6670 and bread3899 which strengthens5582 man's582 heart.3824

16 The trees6086 of the LORD3068 are full7654 of sap; the cedars730 of Lebanon,3844 which834 he has planted;5193

17 Where834 8033 the birds6833 make their nests:7077 as for the stork,2624 the fir1265 trees are her house.1004

18 The high1364 hills2022 are a refuge4268 for the wild3277 goats;3277 and the rocks5553 for the conies.8227

19 He appointed6213 the moon3394 for seasons:4150 the sun8121 knows3045 his going3996 down.

20 You make7896 darkness,2822 and it is night:3915 wherein all3605 the beasts2416 of the forest3293 do creep7430 forth.

21 The young3715 lions3715 roar7580 after their prey,2964 and seek1245 their meat400 from God.410

22 The sun8121 rises,2224 they gather622 themselves together, and lay7257 them down7257 in their dens.4585

23 Man120 goes3318 forth3318 to his work6467 and to his labor5656 until5704 the evening.6153

24 O LORD,3068 how4100 manifold7231 are your works!4639 in wisdom2451 have you made6213 them all:3605 the earth776 is full4390 of your riches.7075

25 So is this2088 great1419 and wide7342 3027 sea,3220 wherein8033 are things creeping7431 innumerable,7342 3027 both small6996 and great1419 beasts.2416

26 There8033 go1980 the ships:591 there is that leviathan,3882 whom you have made3335 to play7832 therein.

27 These wait7663 all3605 on you; that you may give5414 them their meat400 in due season.6256

28 That you give5414 them they gather:3950 you open6605 your hand,3027 they are filled7646 with good.2896

29 You hide5641 your face,6440 they are troubled:926 you take622 away their breath,7307 they die,1478 and return7725 to their dust.6083

30 You send7971 forth your spirit,7307 they are created:1254 and you renew2318 the face6440 of the earth.127

31 The glory3519 of the LORD3068 shall endure1961 for ever:5769 the LORD3068 shall rejoice8055 in his works.4639

32 He looks5027 on the earth,776 and it trembles:7460 he touches5060 the hills,2022 and they smoke.6225

33 I will sing7891 to the LORD3068 as long5704 as I live:2416 I will sing2167 praise to my God430 while5750 I have my being.5750

34 My meditation7879 of him shall be sweet:6149 I will be glad8056 in the LORD.3068

35 Let the sinners2400 be consumed8552 out of the earth,776 and let the wicked7563 be no369 more.5750 Bless1288 you the LORD,3068 O my soul.5315 Praise1984 you the LORD.3050

105

1 O give thanks3034 to the LORD;3050 call7121 on his name:8034 make known3045 his deeds5949 among the people.5971

2 Sing7891 to him, sing2167 psalms2167 to him: talk7878 you of all3605 his wondrous6381 works.

3 Glory1984 you in his holy6944 name:8034 let the heart3820 of them rejoice8055 that seek1245 the LORD.3050

4 Seek1875 the LORD,3050 and his strength:5797 seek1245 his face6440 ever more.8548

5 Remember2142 his marvelous6381 works that he has done;6213 his wonders,4159 and the judgments4941 of his mouth;6310

6 O you seed2233 of Abraham85 his servant,5650 you children1121 of Jacob3290 his chosen.972

7 He is the LORD3050 our God:430 his judgments4941 are in all3605 the earth.776

8 He has remembered2142 his covenant1285 for ever,5769 the word1697 which he commanded6680 to a thousand505 generations.1755

9 Which834 covenant1285 he made3772 with Abraham,85 and his oath7621 to Isaac;3446

10 And confirmed5975 the same to Jacob3290 for a law,2706 and to Israel3478 for an everlasting5769 covenant:1285

11 Saying,559 To you will I give5414 the land776 of Canaan,3667 the lot2256 of your inheritance:5159

12 When they were but a few4962 men4962 in number;4557 yes, very few,4592 and strangers1481 in it.

13 When they went1980 from one nation1471 to another, from one kingdom4467 to another312 people;5971

14 He suffered3240 no3808 man120 to do them wrong:6231 yes, he reproved3198 kings4428 for their sakes;5921

15 Saying, Touch5060 not my anointed,4899 and do my prophets5030 no408 harm.7489

16 Moreover he called7121 for a famine7458 on the land:776 he broke7665 the whole3605 staff4294 of bread.3899

17 He sent7971 a man376 before6440 them, even Joseph,3130 who was sold4376 for a servant:5650

18 Whose feet7272 they hurt6031 with fetters:3525 he was laid935 in iron:1270

19 Until5704 the time6256 that his word1697 came:935 the word565 of the LORD3050 tried6884 him.

20 The king4428 sent7971 and loosed5425 him; even the ruler4910 of the people,5971 and let him go free.6605

21 He made7760 him lord113 of his house,1004 and ruler4910 of all3605 his substance:7075

22 To bind631 his princes8269 at his pleasure;5315 and teach his senators2205 wisdom.2449

23 Israel3478 also came935 into Egypt;4714 and Jacob3290 sojourned1481 in the land776 of Ham.2526

24 And he increased6509 his people5971 greatly;3966 and made them stronger6105 than their enemies.6862

25 He turned2015 their heart3820 to hate8130 his people,5971 to deal subtly5230 with his servants.5650

26 He sent7971 Moses4872 his servant;5650 and Aaron175 whom834 he had chosen.977

27 They showed7760 his signs1697 226 among them, and wonders4159 in the land776 of Ham.2526

28 He sent7971 darkness,2822 and made it dark;2821 and they rebelled4784 not against his word.1697

29 He turned2015 their waters4325 into blood,1818 and slew4191 their fish.1710

30 Their land776 brought8317 forth8317 frogs6854 in abundance,8317 in the chambers2315 of their kings.4428

31 He spoke,559 and there came935 divers sorts of flies,6157 and lice3654 in all3605 their coasts.1366

32 He gave5414 them hail1259 for rain,1653 and flaming3852 fire784 in their land.776

33 He smote5221 their vines1612 also and their fig8384 trees; and broke7665 the trees6086 of their coasts.1366

34 He spoke,559 and the locusts697 came,935 and caterpillars,3218 and that without369 number,4557

35 And did eat398 up all3605 the herbs6212 in their land,776 and devoured398 the fruit6529 of their ground.127

36 He smote5221 also all3605 the firstborn1060 in their land,776 the chief7225 of all3605 their strength.202

37 He brought3318 them forth3318 also with silver3701 and gold:2091 and there was not one feeble3782 person among their tribes.7626

38 Egypt4714 was glad8056 when they departed:3318 for the fear6343 of them fell5307 on them.

39 He spread6566 a cloud6051 for a covering;4539 and fire784 to give light216 in the night.3915

40 The people asked,7592 and he brought935 quails,7958 and satisfied7649 them with the bread3899 of heaven.8064

41 He opened6605 the rock,6697 and the waters4325 gushed2100 out; they ran1980 in the dry6723 places like a river.5104

42 For he remembered2142 his holy6944 promise,1697 and Abraham85 his servant.5650

43 And he brought3318 forth3318 his people5971 with joy,8342 and his chosen972 with gladness:7440

44 And gave5414 them the lands776 of the heathen:1471 and they inherited3423 the labor5999 of the people;3816

45 That they might observe8104 his statutes,2706 and keep5341 his laws.8451 Praise1984 you the LORD.3050

106

1 Praise1984 you the LORD.3050 O give thanks3034 to the LORD;3068 for he is good:2896 for his mercy2617 endures for ever.5769

2 Who4310 can utter4448 the mighty1369 acts of the LORD?3068 who can show8085 forth all3605 his praise?8416

3 Blessed835 are they that keep8104 judgment,4941 and he that does6213 righteousness6666 at all3605 times.6256

4 Remember2142 me, O LORD,3068 with the favor7522 that you bore to your people:5971 O visit6485 me with your salvation;3444

5 That I may see7200 the good2896 of your chosen,972 that I may rejoice8055 in the gladness8057 of your nation,1471 that I may glory1984 with your inheritance.5159

6 We have sinned2398 with our fathers,1 we have committed5753 iniquity,5753 we have done6213 wickedly.7561

7 Our fathers1 understood7919 not your wonders6381 in Egypt;4714 they remembered2142 not the multitude7230 of your mercies;2617 but provoked4784 him at5921 the sea,3220 even at5921 the Red5488 sea.3220

8 Nevertheless he saved3467 them for his name's8034 sake,4616 that he might make his mighty1369 power1369 to be known.3045

9 He rebuked1605 the Red5488 sea3220 also, and it was dried2717 up: so he led3212 them through the depths,8415 as through the wilderness.4057

10 And he saved3467 them from the hand3027 of him that hated8130 them, and redeemed1350 them from the hand3027 of the enemy.341

11 And the waters4325 covered3680 their enemies:6862 there was not one259 of them left.3498

12 Then believed539 they his words;1697 they sang7891 his praise.8416

13 They soon4116 forgot7911 his works;4639 they waited2442 not for his counsel:6098

14 But lusted183 exceedingly in the wilderness,4057 and tempted5254 God410 in the desert.3452

15 And he gave5414 them their request;7596 but sent7971 leanness7332 into their soul.5315

16 They envied7065 Moses4872 also in the camp,4264 and Aaron175 the saint6918 of the LORD.3068

17 The earth776 opened6605 and swallowed1104 up Dathan 1885and covered3680 the company5712 of Abiram.48

18 And a fire784 was kindled1197 in their company;5712 the flame3852 burned3857 up the wicked.7563

19 They made6213 a calf5695 in Horeb,2722 and worshipped7812 the molten4541 image.

20 Thus they changed4171 their glory3519 into the similitude8403 of an ox7794 that eats398 grass.6212

21 They forgot7911 God410 their savior,3467 which had done great1419 things in Egypt;4714

22 Wondrous6381 works in the land776 of Ham,2526 and terrible3372 things by the Red5488 sea.3220

23 Therefore he said559 that he would destroy8045 them, had3884 not Moses4872 his chosen972 stood5975 before6440 him in the breach,6556 to turn7725 away his wrath,2534 lest he should destroy7843 them.

24 Yes, they despised3988 the pleasant2532 land,776 they believed539 not his word:1697

25 But murmured7279 in their tents,168 and listened8085 not to the voice6963 of the LORD.3068

26 Therefore he lifted5375 up his hand3027 against them, to overthrow5307 them in the wilderness:4057

27 To overthrow5307 their seed2233 also among the nations,1471 and to scatter2219 them in the lands.776

28 They joined6775 themselves also to Baalpeor,1187 and ate398 the sacrifices2077 of the dead.4191

29 Thus they provoked him to anger3707 with their inventions:4611 and the plague4046 broke6555 in on them.

30 Then stood5975 up Phinehas,6372 and executed judgment:6419 and so the plague4046 was stayed.6113

31 And that was counted2803 to him for righteousness6666 to all generations1755 for ever more.5769

32 They angered7107 him also at5921 the waters4325 of strife,4808 so that it went ill3415 with Moses4872 for their sakes:5668

33 Because3588 they provoked4784 his spirit,7307 so that he spoke981 unadvisedly981 with his lips.8193

34 They did not destroy8045 the nations,5971 concerning whom834 the LORD3068 commanded559 them:

35 But were mingled6148 among the heathen,1471 and learned3925 their works.4639

36 And they served5647 their idols:6091 which were a snare4170 to them.

37 Yes, they sacrificed2076 their sons1121 and their daughters1323 to devils,7700

38 And shed8210 innocent5355 blood,1818 even the blood1818 of their sons1121 and of their daughters,1323 whom834 they sacrificed2076 to the idols6091 of Canaan:3667 and the land776 was polluted2610 with blood.1818

39 Thus were they defiled2930 with their own works,4639 and went a whoring2181 with their own inventions.4611

40 Therefore was the wrath639 of the LORD3068 kindled2734 against his people,5971 so that he abhorred8581 his own inheritance.5159

41 And he gave5414 them into the hand3027 of the heathen;1471 and they that hated8130 them ruled4910 over them.

42 Their enemies341 also oppressed3905 them, and they were brought3665 into subjection3665 under8478 their hand.3027

43 Many7227 times6471 did he deliver5337 them; but they provoked4784 him with their counsel,6098 and were brought4355 low4355 for their iniquity.5771

44 Nevertheless he regarded7200 their affliction,6862 when he heard8085 their cry:7440

45 And he remembered2142 for them his covenant,1285 and repented5162 according to the multitude7230 of his mercies.2617

46 He made5414 them also to be pitied7356 of all those that carried7617 them captives.7617

47 Save3467 us, O LORD3068 our God,430 and gather6908 us from among the heathen,1471 to give thanks3034 to your holy6944 name,8034 and to triumph7623 in your praise.8416

48 Blessed1288 be the LORD3068 God430 of Israel3478 from everlasting5769 to everlasting:5769 and let all the people5971 say,559 Amen.543 Praise1984 you the LORD.3050

107

1 O give thanks3034 to the LORD,3068 for he is good:2896 for his mercy2617 endures for ever.5769

2 Let the redeemed1350 of the LORD3068 say559 so, whom834 he has redeemed1350 from the hand3027 of the enemy;6862

3 And gathered6908 them out of the lands,776 from the east,4217 and from the west,4628 from the north,6828 and from the south.3220

4 They wandered8582 in the wilderness4057 in a solitary3452 way;1870 they found4672 no3808 city5892 to dwell4186 in.

5 Hungry7456 and thirsty,6771 their soul5315 fainted5848 in them.

6 Then they cried6817 to the LORD3068 in their trouble,6862 and he delivered5337 them out of their distresses.4691

7 And he led1869 them forth by the right3477 way,1870 that they might go3212 to a city5892 of habitation.4186

8 Oh that men would praise3034 the LORD3068 for his goodness,2617 and for his wonderful6381 works to the children1121 of men!120

9 For he satisfies7646 the longing8264 soul,5315 and fills4390 the hungry7456 soul5315 with goodness.2896

10 Such as sit3427 in darkness2822 and in the shadow6757 of death,6757 being bound615 in affliction6040 and iron;1270

11 Because3588 they rebelled4784 against the words561 of God,410 and contemned5006 the counsel6098 of the most5945 High:5945

12 Therefore he brought3665 down3665 their heart3820 with labor;5999 they fell3782 down,3782 and there was none369 to help.5826

13 Then they cried2199 to the LORD3068 in their trouble,6862 and he saved3467 them out of their distresses.4691

14 He brought3318 them out of darkness2822 and the shadow6757 of death,6757 and broke5423 their bands4147 in sunder.

15 Oh that men would praise3034 the LORD3068 for his goodness,2617 and for his wonderful6381 works to the children1121 of men!120

16 For he has broken7665 the gates1817 of brass,5178 and cut1438 the bars1280 of iron1270 in sunder.

17 Fools191 because1870 of their transgression,6588 and because of their iniquities,5771 are afflicted.6031

18 Their soul5315 abhors8581 all manner of meat;400 and they draw near5060 to the gates8179 of death.4194

19 Then they cry2199 to the LORD3068 in their trouble,6862 and he saves3467 them out of their distresses.4691

20 He sent7971 his word,1697 and healed7495 them, and delivered4422 them from their destructions.7825

21 Oh that men would praise3034 the LORD3068 for his goodness,2617 and for his wonderful6381 works to the children1121 of men!120

22 And let them sacrifice2076 the sacrifices2077 of thanksgiving,8426 and declare5608 his works4639 with rejoicing.7440

23 They that go3381 down3381 to the sea3220 in ships,591 that do6213 business4399 in great7227 waters;4325

24 These1992 see7200 the works4639 of the LORD,3068 and his wonders6381 in the deep.4688

25 For he commands,559 and raises5975 the stormy5591 wind,7307 which lifts7311 up the waves1530 thereof.

26 They mount5927 up to the heaven,8064 they go3381 down3381 again to the depths:8415 their soul5315 is melted4127 because of trouble.7451

27 They reel2287 to and fro, and stagger5128 like a drunken7910 man, and are at their wit's2451 end.1104

28 Then they cry6817 to the LORD3068 in their trouble,6862 and he brings3318 them out of their distresses.4691

29 He makes the storm5591 a calm,1827 so that the waves1530 thereof are still.2814

30 Then are they glad8056 because3588 they be quiet;8367 so he brings5148 them to their desired2656 haven.4231

31 Oh that men would praise3034 the LORD3068 for his goodness,2617 and for his wonderful6381 works to the children1121 of men!120

32 Let them exalt7311 him also in the congregation6951 of the people,5971 and praise1984 him in the assembly4186 of the elders.2205

33 He turns7760 rivers5104 into a wilderness,4057 and the springs4161 4325 into dry6774 ground;

34 A fruitful6529 land776 into barrenness,4420 for the wickedness7451 of them that dwell3427 therein.

35 He turns7760 the wilderness4057 into a standing98 water,4325 and dry6723 ground127 into springs.4161 4325

36 And there8033 he makes the hungry7456 to dwell,3427 that they may prepare3559 a city5892 for habitation;4186

37 And sow2232 the fields,7704 and plant5193 vineyards,3754 which may yield6213 fruits6529 of increase.8393

38 He blesses1288 them also, so that they are multiplied7235 greatly;3966 and suffers not their cattle929 to decrease.4591

39 Again, they are diminished4591 and brought7817 low7817 through oppression,6115 affliction,7451 and sorrow.3015

40 He pours8210 contempt937 on princes,5081 and causes them to wander8582 in the wilderness,8414 where there is no3808 way.1870

41 Yet sets he the poor34 on high7682 from affliction,6040 and makes7760 him families4940 like a flock.6629

42 The righteous3477 shall see7200 it, and rejoice:8055 and all iniquity5766 shall stop7092 her mouth.6310

43 Whoever4310 is wise,2450 and will observe8104 these428 things, even they shall understand995 the loving kindness2617 of the LORD.3068

108

1 A Song7892 or Psalm4210 of David.1732 O god,430 my heart3820 is fixed;3559 I will sing7891 and give praise,2167 even637 with my glory.3519

2 Awake,5782 psaltery5035 and harp:3658 I myself will awake5782 early.7837

3 I will praise3034 you, O LORD,3068 among the people:5971 and I will sing2167 praises to you among the nations.3816

4 For your mercy2617 is great1419 above5921 the heavens:8064 and your truth571 reaches to the clouds.7834

5 Be you exalted,7311 O God,430 above5921 the heavens:8064 and your glory3519 above5921 all the earth;776

6 That your beloved3039 may be delivered:2502 save3467 with your right3225 hand,3225 and answer6030 me.

7 God430 has spoken1696 in his holiness;6944 I will rejoice,5937 I will divide2505 Shechem,7927 and mete4058 out the valley6010 of Succoth.5523

8 Gilead1568 is mine; Manasseh4519 is mine; Ephraim669 also is the strength4581 of my head;7218 Judah3063 is my lawgiver;2710

9 Moab4124 is my wash pot;5518 7366 over5921 Edom123 will I cast7993 out my shoe;5275 over Philistia6429 will I triumph.7321

10 Who4310 will bring2986 me into the strong4013 city?5892 who4310 will lead5148 me into5704 Edom?123

11 Will not you, O God,430 who have cast2186 us off? and will not you, O God,430 go3318 forth3318 with our hosts?6635

12 Give3051 us help5833 from trouble:6862 for vain7723 is the help8668 of man.120

13 Through God430 we shall do6213 valiantly:2428 for he it is that shall tread947 down our enemies.6862

109

1 To the chief5329 Musician,5329 A Psalm4210 of David.1732 Hold2790 not your peace,2790 O God430 of my praise;8416

2 For the mouth6310 of the wicked7563 and the mouth6310 of the deceitful4820 are opened6605 against5921 me: they have spoken1696 against me with a lying8267 tongue.3956

3 They compassed5437 me about also with words1697 of hatred;8135 and fought3898 against me without2600 a cause.2600

4 For my love160 they are my adversaries:7853 but I give myself to prayer.8605

5 And they have rewarded7760 me evil7451 for good,2896 and hatred8135 for my love.160

6 Set6485 you a wicked7563 man over5921 him: and let Satan7854 stand5975 at5921 his right3225 hand.3225

7 When he shall be judged,8199 let him be condemned:3318 7563 and let his prayer8605 become1961 sin.2401

8 Let his days3117 be few;4592 and let another312 take3947 his office.6486

9 Let his children1121 be fatherless,3490 and his wife802 a widow.490

10 Let his children1121 be continually vagabonds,5128 and beg:7592 let them seek1875 their bread also out of their desolate2723 places.

11 Let the extortionist5383 catch5367 all3605 that he has; and let the strangers2114 spoil962 his labor.3018

12 Let there be none408 to extend4900 mercy2617 to him: neither408 let there be any to favor2603 his fatherless3490 children.

13 Let his posterity319 be cut3772 off; and in the generation1755 following312 let their name8034 be blotted4229 out.

14 Let the iniquity5771 of his fathers1 be remembered2142 with the LORD;3068 and let not the sin2403 of his mother517 be blotted4229 out.

15 Let them be before5048 the LORD3068 continually,8548 that he may cut3772 off the memory2143 of them from the earth.776

16 Because3282 that he remembered2142 not to show6213 mercy,2617 but persecuted7291 the poor6041 and needy34 man,376 that he might even slay4191 the broken5218 in heart.3824

17 As he loved157 cursing,7045 so let it come935 to him: as he delighted2654 not in blessing,1293 so let it be far7368 from him.

18 As he clothed3847 himself with cursing7045 like as with his garment,4055 so let it come935 into his bowels7130 like water,4325 and like oil8081 into his bones.6106

19 Let it be to him as the garment899 which covers5844 him, and for a girdle4206 with which he is girded2296 continually.8548

20 Let this2063 be the reward6468 of my adversaries7853 from the LORD,3068 and of them that speak1696 evil7451 against5921 my soul.5315

21 But do6213 you for me, O GOD3069 the Lord,136 for your name's8034 sake:4616 because3588 your mercy2617 is good,2896 deliver5337 you me.

22 For I am poor6041 and needy,34 and my heart3820 is wounded2490 within7130 me.

23 I am gone1980 like the shadow6738 when it declines:5186 I am tossed5287 up and down as the locust.697

24 My knees1290 are weak3782 through fasting;6685 and my flesh1320 fails3584 of fatness.8081

25 I became1961 also a reproach2781 to them: when they looked7200 on me they shook5128 their heads.7218

26 Help5826 me, O LORD3068 my God:430 O save3467 me according to your mercy:2617

27 That they may know3045 that this2063 is your hand;3027 that you, LORD,3068 have done6213 it.

28 Let them curse,7043 but bless1288 you: when they arise,6965 let them be ashamed;954 but let your servant5650 rejoice.8055

29 Let my adversaries7853 be clothed3847 with shame,3639 and let them cover5844 themselves with their own confusion,1322 as with a mantle.4598

30 I will greatly3966 praise3034 the LORD3068 with my mouth;6310 yes, I will praise1984 him among8432 the multitude.7227

31 For he shall stand5975 at the right3225 hand3225 of the poor,34 to save3467 him from those that condemn8199 his soul.5315

110

1 A Psalm4210 of David.1732 The LORD3068 said5002 to my Lord,113 Sit3427 you at my right3225 hand,3225 until5704 I make7896 your enemies341 your footstool.1916 7272

2 The LORD3068 shall send7971 the rod4294 of your strength5797 out of Zion:6726 rule7287 you in the middle7130 of your enemies.341

3 Your people5971 shall be willing5071 in the day3117 of your power,2428 in the beauties1926 of holiness6944 from the womb7358 of the morning:4891 you have the dew2919 of your youth.3208

4 The LORD3068 has sworn,7650 and will not repent,5162 You are a priest3548 for ever5769 after5921 the order1700 of Melchizedek.4442

5 The Lord136 at5921 your right3225 hand3225 shall strike4272 through kings4428 in the day3117 of his wrath.639

6 He shall judge1777 among the heathen,1471 he shall fill4390 the places with the dead1472 bodies;1472 he shall wound4272 the heads7218 over5921 many7227 countries.776

7 He shall drink8354 of the brook5158 in the way:1870 therefore5921 3651 shall he lift7311 up the head.7218

111

1 Praise1984 you the LORD.3050 I will praise3034 the LORD3068 with my whole3605 heart,3824 in the assembly5475 of the upright,3477 and in the congregation.5712

2 The works4639 of the LORD3068 are great,1419 sought1875 out of all3605 them that have pleasure2656 therein.

3 His work6467 is honorable1935 and glorious:1926 and his righteousness6666 endures5975 for ever.5703

4 He has made6213 his wonderful6381 works to be remembered:2143 the LORD3068 is gracious2587 and full of compassion.7349

5 He has given5414 meat2964 to them that fear3373 him: he will ever5769 be mindful2142 of his covenant.1285

6 He has showed5046 his people5971 the power3581 of his works,4639 that he may give5414 them the heritage5159 of the heathen.1471

7 The works4639 of his hands3027 are verity571 and judgment;4941 all3605 his commandments6490 are sure.539

8 They stand5564 fast for ever5703 and ever,5769 and are done6213 in truth571 and uprightness.3477

9 He sent7971 redemption6304 to his people:5971 he has commanded6680 his covenant1285 for ever:5769 holy6918 and reverend3372 is his name.8034

10 The fear3374 of the LORD3068 is the beginning7225 of wisdom:2451 a good2896 understanding7922 have all3605 they that do6213 his commandments: his praise8416 endures5975 for ever.5769

112

1 Praise1984 you the LORD.3050 Blessed835 is the man376 that fears3372 the LORD,3068 that delights2654 greatly3966 in his commandments.4687

2 His seed2233 shall be mighty1368 on earth:776 the generation1755 of the upright3477 shall be blessed.1288

3 Wealth1952 and riches6239 shall be in his house:1004 and his righteousness6666 endures5975 for ever.5703

4 To the upright3477 there rises2224 light216 in the darkness:2822 he is gracious,2587 and full of compassion,7349 and righteous.6662

5 A good2896 man376 shows favor,2603 and lends:3867 he will guide3557 his affairs1697 with discretion.4941

6 Surely3588 he shall not be moved4131 for ever:5769 the righteous6662 shall be in everlasting5769 remembrance.2143

7 He shall not be afraid3372 of evil7451 tidings:8052 his heart3820 is fixed,3559 trusting982 in the LORD.3068

8 His heart3820 is established,5564 he shall not be afraid,3372 until5704 he see7200 his desire on his enemies.6862

9 He has dispersed,6340 he has given5414 to the poor;34 his righteousness6666 endures5975 for ever;5703 his horn7161 shall be exalted7311 with honor.3519

10 The wicked7563 shall see7200 it, and be grieved;3707 he shall gnash2786 with his teeth,8127 and melt4549 away: the desire8378 of the wicked7563 shall perish.6

113

1 Praise1984 you the LORD.3050 Praise,1984 O you servants5650 of the LORD,3068 praise1984 the name8034 of the LORD.3068

2 Blessed1288 be the name8034 of the LORD3068 from this time forth and for ever more.5769

3 From the rising4217 of the sun8121 to the going3996 down of the same the LORD's3068 name8034 is to be praised.1984

4 The LORD3068 is high7311 above5921 all3605 nations,1471 and his glory3519 above5921 the heavens.8064

5 Who4310 is like to the LORD3068 our God,430 who dwells3427 on high,1361

6 Who humbles8213 himself to behold7200 the things that are in heaven,8064 and in the earth!776

7 He raises6965 up the poor1800 out of the dust,6083 and lifts7311 the needy34 out of the dunghill;830

8 That he may set3427 him with princes,5081 even with the princes5081 of his people.5971

9 He makes the barren6135 woman to keep house,1004 and to be a joyful8056 mother517 of children.1121 Praise1984 you the LORD.3050

114

1 When Israel3478 went3318 out of Egypt,4714 the house1004 of Jacob3290 from a people5971 of strange3937 language;3937

2 Judah3063 was his sanctuary,6944 and Israel3478 his dominion.4475

3 The sea3220 saw7200 it, and fled:5127 Jordan3383 was driven5437 back.268

4 The mountains2022 skipped7540 like rams,352 and the little hills1389 like lambs1121 6629.

5 What4100 ailed you, O you sea,3220 that you fled?5127 you Jordan,3383 that you were driven5437 back?268

6 You mountains,2022 that you skipped7540 like rams;352 and you little hills,1389 like lambs?1121

7 Tremble,2342 you earth,776 at the presence6440 of the Lord,113 at the presence6440 of the God433 of Jacob;3290

8 Which turned2015 the rock6697 into a standing98 water,4325 the flint2496 into a fountain4599 of waters.4325

115

1 Not to us, O LORD,3068 not to us, but to your name8034 give glory,3519 for your mercy,2617 and for your truth's571 sake.

2 Why4100 should the heathen1471 say,559 Where346 is now4994 their God?430

3 But our God430 is in the heavens:8064 he has done6213 whatever3605 834 he has pleased.2654

4 Their idols6091 are silver3701 and gold,2091 the work4639 of men's120 hands.3027

5 They have mouths,6310 but they speak1696 not: eyes5869 have they, but they see7200 not:

6 They have ears,241 but they hear8085 not: noses639 have they, but they smell7306 not:

7 They have hands,3027 but they handle4184 not: feet7272 have they, but they walk1980 not: neither3808 speak1897 they through their throat.1627

8 They that make6213 them are like3644 to them; so is every3605 one that trusts982 in them.

9 O Israel,3478 trust982 you in the LORD:3068 he is their help5828 and their shield.4043

10 O house1004 of Aaron,175 trust982 in the LORD:3068 he is their help5828 and their shield.4043

11 You that fear3373 the LORD,3068 trust982 in the LORD:3068 he is their help5828 and their shield.4043

12 The LORD3068 has been mindful2142 of us: he will bless1288 us; he will bless1288 the house1004 of Israel;3478 he will bless1288 the house1004 of Aaron.175

13 He will bless1288 them that fear3373 the LORD,3068 both small6996 and great.1419

14 The LORD3068 shall increase3254 you more and more, you and your children.1121

15 You are blessed1288 of the LORD3068 which made6213 heaven8064 and earth.776

16 The heaven,8064 even the heavens,8064 are the LORD's:3068 but the earth776 has he given5414 to the children1121 of men.120

17 The dead4191 praise1984 not the LORD,3050 neither3808 any3605 that go3381 down3381 into silence.1745

18 But we will bless1288 the LORD3050 from this time6258 forth and for ever more.5769 Praise1984 the LORD.3050

116

1 I love157 the LORD,3068 because3588 he has heard8085 my voice6963 and my supplications.8469

2 Because3588 he has inclined5186 his ear241 to me, therefore will I call7121 on him as long3117 as I live.3117

3 The sorrows2256 of death4194 compassed661 me, and the pains4712 of hell7585 got hold4672 on me: I found4672 trouble6869 and sorrow.3015

4 Then called7121 I on the name8034 of the LORD;3068 O LORD,3068 I beseech577 you, deliver4422 my soul.5315

5 Gracious2587 is the LORD,3068 and righteous;6662 yes, our God430 is merciful.7355

6 The LORD3068 preserves8104 the simple:6612 I was brought1809 low,1809 and he helped3467 me.

7 Return7725 to your rest,4496 O my soul;5315 for the LORD3068 has dealt1580 bountifully1580 with you.

8 For you have delivered2502 my soul5315 from death,4194 my eyes5869 from tears,1832 and my feet7272 from falling.1762

9 I will walk1980 before6440 the LORD3068 in the land776 of the living.2416

10 I believed,539 therefore3588 have I spoken:1696 I was greatly3966 afflicted:6031

11 I said559 in my haste,2648 All3605 men120 are liars.3576

12 What4100 shall I render7725 to the LORD3068 for all3605 his benefits8408 toward5921 me?

13 I will take5375 the cup3563 of salvation,3444 and call7121 on the name8034 of the LORD.3068

14 I will pay7999 my vows5088 to the LORD3068 now4994 in the presence5048 of all3605 his people.5971

15 Precious3368 in the sight5869 of the LORD3068 is the death4194 of his saints.2623

16 O LORD,3068 truly577 I am your servant;5650 I am your servant,5650 and the son1121 of your handmaid:519 you have loosed6605 my bonds.4147

17 I will offer2076 to you the sacrifice2077 of thanksgiving,8426 and will call7121 on the name8034 of the LORD.3068

18 I will pay7999 my vows5088 to the LORD3068 now4994 in the presence5048 of all3605 his people.5971

19 In the courts2691 of the LORD's3068 house,1004 in the middle8432 of you, O Jerusalem.3389 Praise1984 you the LORD.3068

117

1 O praise1984 the LORD,3068 all3605 you nations:1471 praise7623 him, all3605 you people.523

2 For his merciful2617 kindness2617 is great1396 toward5921 us: and the truth571 of the LORD3068 endures for ever.5769 Praise1984 you the LORD.3050

118

1 O give thanks3034 to the LORD;3068 for he is good:2896 because3588 his mercy2617 endures for ever.5769

2 Let Israel3478 now4994 say,559 that his mercy2617 endures for ever.5769

3 Let the house1004 of Aaron175 now4994 say,559 that his mercy2617 endures for ever.5769

4 Let them now4994 that fear3373 the LORD3068 say,559 that his mercy2617 endures for ever.5769

5 I called7121 on the LORD3050 in distress:4712 the LORD3050 answered6030 me, and set me in a large4800 place.

6 The LORD3068 is on my side; I will not fear:3372 what4100 can man120 do6213 to me?

7 The LORD3068 takes my part with them that help5826 me: therefore shall I see7200 my desire on them that hate8130 me.

8 It is better2896 to trust2620 in the LORD3068 than to put confidence982 in man.120

9 It is better2896 to trust2620 in the LORD3068 than to put confidence982 in princes.5081

10 All3605 nations1471 compassed5437 me about: but in the name8034 of the LORD3068 will I destroy4135 them.

11 They compassed5437 me about; yes,1571 they compassed5437 me about: but in the name8034 of the LORD3068 I will destroy4135 them.

12 They compassed5437 me about like bees:1682 they are quenched1846 as the fire784 of thorns:6975 for in the name8034 of the LORD3068 I will destroy4135 them.

13 You have thrust1760 sore at me that I might fall:5307 but the LORD3068 helped5826 me.

14 The LORD3050 is my strength5797 and song,2176 and is become1961 my salvation.3444

15 The voice6963 of rejoicing7440 and salvation3444 is in the tabernacles168 of the righteous:6662 the right3225 hand3225 of the LORD3068 does6213 valiantly.2428

16 The right3225 hand3225 of the LORD3068 is exalted:7426 the right3225 hand3225 of the LORD3068 does6213 valiantly.2428

17 I shall not die,4191 but live,2421 and declare5608 the works4639 of the LORD.3050

18 The LORD3050 has chastened3256 me sore: but he has not given5414 me over5414 to death.4194

19 Open6605 to me the gates8179 of righteousness:6664 I will go935 into them, and I will praise3034 the LORD:3050

20 This2088 gate8179 of the LORD,3068 into which the righteous6662 shall enter.935

21 I will praise3034 you: for you have heard6030 me, and are become1961 my salvation.3444

22 The stone68 which the builders1129 refused3988 is become1961 the head7218 stone of the corner.6438

23 This2063 is the LORD's3068 doing;1961 it is marvelous6381 in our eyes.5869

24 This2088 is the day3117 which the LORD3068 has made;6213 we will rejoice1523 and be glad8056 in it.

25 Save3467 now,4994 I beseech577 you, O LORD:3068 O LORD,3068 I beseech577 you, send now4994 prosperity.6743

26 Blessed1288 be he that comes935 in the name8034 of the LORD:3068 we have blessed1288 you out of the house1004 of the LORD.3068

27 God410 is the LORD,3068 which has showed us light:216 bind631 the sacrifice2282 with cords,5688 even to the horns7161 of the altar.4196

28 You are my God,410 and I will praise3034 you: you are my God,430 I will exalt7311 you.

29 O give thanks3034 to the LORD;3068 for he is good:2896 for his mercy2617 endures for ever.5769

119

1 ALEPH. Blessed835 are the undefiled8549 in the way,1870 who walk1980 in the law8451 of the LORD.3068

2 Blessed835 are they that keep5341 his testimonies,5713 and that seek1875 him with the whole3605 heart.3820

3 They also637 do6466 no3808 iniquity:5766 they walk1980 in his ways.1870

4 You have commanded6680 us to keep8104 your precepts6490 diligently.3966

5 O that my ways1870 were directed3559 to keep8104 your statutes!2706

6 Then227 shall I not be ashamed,954 when I have respect5027 to all3605 your commandments.4687

7 I will praise3034 you with uprightness3476 of heart,3824 when I shall have learned3925 your righteous6664 judgments.4941

8 I will keep8104 your statutes:2706 O forsake5800 me not utterly.3966

9 BETH. Wherewithal4100 shall a young5288 man cleanse2135 his way?734 by taking heed8104 thereto according to your word.1697

10 With my whole3605 heart3820 have I sought1875 you: O let me not wander7686 from your commandments.4687

11 Your word565 have I hid6845 in my heart,3820 that I might not sin2398 against you.

12 Blessed1288 are you, O LORD:3068 teach3925 me your statutes.2706

13 With my lips8193 have I declared5608 all3605 the judgments4941 of your mouth.6310

14 I have rejoiced7797 in the way1870 of your testimonies,5715 as much as in all3605 riches.1952

15 I will meditate7878 in your precepts,6490 and have respect5027 to your ways.734

16 I will delight8173 myself in your statutes:2708 I will not forget7911 your word.1697

17 GIMEL. Deal1580 bountifully1580 with your servant,5650 that I may live,2421 and keep8104 your word.1697

18 Open1540 you my eyes,5869 that I may behold5027 wondrous6381 things out of your law.8451

19 I am a stranger1616 in the earth:776 hide5641 not your commandments4687 from me.

20 My soul5315 breaks1638 for the longing8375 that it has to your judgments4941 at all3605 times.6256

21 You have rebuked1605 the proud2086 that are cursed,779 which do err7686 from your commandments.4687

22 Remove1556 from me reproach2781 and contempt;937 for I have kept5341 your testimonies.5713

23 Princes8269 also1571 did sit3427 and speak1696 against me: but your servant5650 did meditate7878 in your statutes.2706

24 Your testimonies5713 also are my delight8191 and my counsellors.6098

25 My soul5315 sticks1692 to the dust:6083 quicken2421 you me according to your word.1697

26 I have declared5608 my ways,1870 and you heard6030 me: teach3925 me your statutes.2706

27 Make me to understand995 the way1870 of your precepts:6490 so shall I talk7878 of your wondrous6381 works.

28 My soul5315 melts1811 for heaviness:8424 strengthen6965 you me according to your word.1697

29 Remove5493 from me the way1870 of lying:8267 and grant5414 me your law8451 graciously.2603

30 I have chosen977 the way1870 of truth:530 your judgments4941 have I laid7737 before me.

31 I have stuck1692 to your testimonies:5715 O LORD,3068 put me not to shame.954

32 I will run7323 the way1870 of your commandments,4687 when3588 you shall enlarge7337 my heart.3820

33 HE. Teach3384 me, O LORD,3068 the way1870 of your statutes;2706 and I shall keep5341 it to the end.6118

34 Give me understanding,995 and I shall keep5341 your law;8451 yes, I shall observe8104 it with my whole3605 heart.3820

35 Make me to go1869 in the path5410 of your commandments;4687 for therein do I delight.2654

36 Incline5186 my heart3820 to your testimonies,5715 and not to covetousness.1215

37 Turn5674 away my eyes5869 from beholding7200 vanity;7723 and quicken2421 you me in your way.1870

38 Establish6965 your word565 to your servant,5650 who834 is devoted to your fear.3374

39 Turn5674 away my reproach2781 which834 I fear:3025 for your judgments4941 are good.2896

40 Behold,2009 I have longed8373 after your precepts:6490 quicken2421 me in your righteousness.6666

41 VAU. Let your mercies2617 come935 also to me, O LORD,3068 even your salvation,8668 according to your word.565

42 So shall I have with which1697 to answer6030 him that reproaches2778 me: for I trust982 in your word.1697

43 And take5337 not the word1697 of truth571 utterly3966 out of my mouth;6310 for I have hoped3176 in your judgments.4941

44 So shall I keep8104 your law8451 continually8548 for ever5769 and ever.5703

45 And I will walk1980 at liberty:7342 for I seek1875 your precepts.6490

46 I will speak1696 of your testimonies5713 also before5048 kings,4428 and will not be ashamed.954

47 And I will delight8173 myself in your commandments,4687 which834 I have loved.157

48 My hands3709 also will I lift5375 up to your commandments,4687 which834 I have loved;157 and I will meditate7878 in your statutes.2706

49 Remember2142 the word1697 to your servant,5650 on which834 you have caused me to hope.3176

50 This2063 is my comfort5162 in my affliction:6040 for your word565 has quickened2421 me.

51 The proud2086 have had me greatly3966 in derision:3887 yet have I not declined5186 from your law.8451

52 I remembered2142 your judgments4941 of old,5769 O LORD;3068 and have comforted5162 myself.

53 Horror2152 has taken270 hold270 on me because of the wicked7563 that forsake5800 your law.8451

54 Your statutes2706 have been1961 my songs2158 in the house1004 of my pilgrimage.4033

55 I have remembered2142 your name,8034 O LORD,3068 in the night,3915 and have kept8104 your law.8451

56 This2063 I had,1961 because3588 I kept5341 your precepts.6490

57 CHETH. You are my portion,2506 O LORD:3068 I have said559 that I would keep8104 your words.1697

58 I entreated2470 your favor6440 with my whole3605 heart:3820 be merciful2603 to me according to your word.565

59 I thought2803 on my ways,1870 and turned7725 my feet7272 to your testimonies.5713

60 I made haste,2363 and delayed4102 not to keep8104 your commandments.4687

61 The bands2256 of the wicked7563 have robbed5749 me: but I have not forgotten7911 your law.8451

62 At midnight2676 3915 I will rise6965 to give thanks3034 to you because5921 of your righteous6664 judgments.4941

63 I am a companion2270 of all3605 them that fear3372 you, and of them that keep8104 your precepts.6490

64 The earth,776 O LORD,3068 is full4390 of your mercy:2617 teach3925 me your statutes.2706

65 You have dealt6213 well2896 with your servant,5650 O LORD,3068 according to your word.1697

66 Teach3925 me good2898 judgment2940 and knowledge:1847 for I have believed539 your commandments.4687

67 Before2962 I was afflicted6031 I went7683 astray:7683 but now6258 have I kept8104 your word.565

68 You are good,2896 and do good;2895 teach3925 me your statutes.2706

69 The proud2086 have forged2950 a lie3576 against5921 me: but I will keep5341 your precepts6490 with my whole3605 heart.3820

70 Their heart3820 is as fat2954 as grease;2459 but I delight8173 in your law.8451

71 It is good2896 for me that I have been afflicted;6031 that I might learn3925 your statutes.2706

72 The law8451 of your mouth6310 is better2896 to me than thousands505 of gold2091 and silver.3701

73 Your hands3027 have made6213 me and fashioned3559 me: give me understanding,995 that I may learn3925 your commandments.4687

74 They that fear3373 you will be glad8056 when they see7200 me; because3588 I have hoped3176 in your word.1697

75 I know,3045 O LORD,3068 that your judgments4941 are right,6664 and that you in faithfulness530 have afflicted6031 me.

76 Let, I pray4994 you, your merciful2617 kindness2617 be for my comfort,5162 according to your word565 to your servant.5650

77 Let your tender mercies7356 come935 to me, that I may live:2421 for your law8451 is my delight.8191

78 Let the proud2086 be ashamed;954 for they dealt perversely5791 with me without8267 a cause:8267 but I will meditate7878 in your precepts.6490

79 Let those that fear3373 you turn7725 to me, and those that have known3045 your testimonies.5713

80 Let my heart3820 be sound8549 in your statutes;2706 that I be not ashamed.954

81 CAPH. My soul5315 faints3615 for your salvation:8668 but I hope3176 in your word.1697

82 My eyes5869 fail3615 for your word,565 saying,559 When4970 will you comfort5162 me?

83 For I am become1961 like a bottle4997 in the smoke;7008 yet do I not forget7911 your statutes.2706

84 How4100 many are the days3117 of your servant?5650 when4970 will you execute6213 judgment4941 on them that persecute7291 me?

85 The proud2086 have dig3738 pits7882 for me, which834 are not after your law.8451

86 All3605 your commandments4687 are faithful:530 they persecute7291 me wrongfully;8267 help5826 you me.

87 They had almost4592 consumed3615 me on earth;776 but I forsook5800 not your precepts.6490

88 Quicken2421 me after your loving kindness;2617 so shall I keep8104 the testimony5715 of your mouth.6310

89 For ever,5769 O LORD,3068 your word1697 is settled5324 in heaven.8064

90 Your faithfulness530 is to all generations:1755 you have established3559 the earth,776 and it stays.5975

91 They continue5975 this day3117 according to your ordinances:4941 for all3605 are your servants.5650

92 Unless3884 your law8451 had been my delights,8191 I should then227 have perished6 in my affliction.6040

93 I will never5769 3808 forget7911 your precepts:6490 for with them you have quickened2421 me.

94 I am yours, save3467 me: for I have sought1875 your precepts.6490

95 The wicked7563 have waited6960 for me to destroy6 me: but I will consider995 your testimonies.5713

96 I have seen7200 an end7093 of all3605 perfection:8502 but your commandment4687 is exceeding3966 broad.7342

97 MEM. O how4100 I love157 your law!8451 it is my meditation7881 all3605 the day.3117

98 You through your commandments4687 have made me wiser2449 than my enemies:341 for they are ever5769 with me.

99 I have more understanding7919 than all3605 my teachers:3925 for your testimonies5715 are my meditation.7881

100 I understand995 more than the ancients,2204 because3588 I keep5341 your precepts.6490

101 I have refrained3607 my feet7272 from every3605 evil7451 way,734 that I might keep8104 your word.1697

102 I have not departed5493 from your judgments:4941 for you have taught3384 me.

103 How4100 sweet4452 are your words565 to my taste!2441 yes, sweeter than honey1706 to my mouth!6310

104 Through your precepts6490 I get understanding:995 therefore5921 3651 I hate8130 every3605 false8267 way.734

105 NUN. Your word1697 is a lamp5216 to my feet,7272 and a light216 to my path.5410

106 I have sworn,7650 and I will perform6965 it, that I will keep8104 your righteous6664 judgments.4941

107 I am afflicted6031 very5704 3966 much:3966 quicken2421 me, O LORD,3068 according to your word.1697

108 Accept,7521 I beseech4994 you, the freewill5071 offerings of my mouth,6310 O LORD,3068 and teach3925 me your judgments.4941

109 My soul5315 is continually8548 in my hand:3709 yet do I not forget7911 your law.8451

110 The wicked7563 have laid5414 a snare6341 for me: yet I erred8582 not from your precepts.6490

111 Your testimonies5715 have I taken as an heritage5157 for ever:5769 for they are the rejoicing8342 of my heart.3820

112 I have inclined5186 my heart3820 to perform6213 your statutes2706 always,5769 even to the end.6118

113 SAMECH. I hate8130 vain thoughts:5588 but your law8451 do I love.157

114 You are my hiding5643 place and my shield:4043 I hope3176 in your word.1697

115 Depart5493 from me, you evildoers:7489 for I will keep5341 the commandments4687 of my God.430

116 Uphold5564 me according to your word,565 that I may live:2421 and let me not be ashamed954 of my hope.7664

117 Hold5582 you me up, and I shall be safe:3467 and I will have respect8159 to your statutes2706 continually.8548

118 You have trodden5541 down all3605 them that err7686 from your statutes:2706 for their deceit8649 is falsehood.8267

119 You put7673 away all3605 the wicked7563 of the earth776 like dross:5509 therefore3651 I love157 your testimonies.5713

120 My flesh1320 trembles5568 for fear6343 of you; and I am afraid3372 of your judgments.4941

121 I have done6213 judgment4941 and justice:6664 leave5117 me not to my oppressors.6231

122 Be surety6148 for your servant5650 for good:2896 let not the proud2086 oppress6231 me.

123 My eyes5869 fail3615 for your salvation,3444 and for the word565 of your righteousness.6664

124 Deal6213 with your servant5650 according to your mercy,2617 and teach3925 me your statutes.2706

125 I am your servant;5650 give me understanding,995 that I may know3045 your testimonies.5713

126 It is time6256 for you, LORD,3068 to work:6213 for they have made void6565 your law.8451

127 Therefore5921 3651 I love157 your commandments4687 above gold;2091 yes, above fine gold.6337

128 Therefore5921 3651 I esteem all3605 your precepts6490 concerning all3605 things to be right;3474 and I hate8130 every3605 false8267 way.734

129 PE. Your testimonies5715 are wonderful:6382 therefore5921 3651 does my soul5315 keep5341 them.

130 The entrance6608 of your words1697 gives light;216 it gives understanding995 to the simple.6612

131 I opened6473 my mouth,6310 and panted:7602 for I longed2968 for your commandments.4687

132 Look6437 you on me, and be merciful2603 to me, as you use4941 to do to those that love157 your name.8034

133 Order3559 my steps6471 in your word:565 and let not any3605 iniquity205 have dominion7980 over me.

134 Deliver6299 me from the oppression6233 of man:120 so3602 will I keep8104 your precepts.6490

135 Make your face6440 to shine215 on your servant;5650 and teach3925 me your statutes.2706

136 Rivers6388 of waters4325 run3381 down my eyes,5869 because5921 they keep8104 not your law.8451

137 TZADDI. Righteous6662 are you, O LORD,3068 and upright3477 are your judgments.4941

138 Your testimonies5713 that you have commanded6680 are righteous6664 and very3966 faithful.530

139 My zeal7068 has consumed6789 me, because3588 my enemies6862 have forgotten7911 your words.1697

140 Your word565 is very3966 pure:6884 therefore your servant5650 loves157 it.

141 I am small6810 and despised:959 yet do not I forget7911 your precepts.6490

142 Your righteousness6666 is an everlasting5769 righteousness,6664 and your law8451 is the truth.571

143 Trouble6862 and anguish4689 have taken4672 hold4672 on me: yet your commandments4687 are my delights.8191

144 The righteousness6664 of your testimonies5715 is everlasting:5769 give me understanding,995 and I shall live.2421

145 KOPH. I cried7121 with my whole heart;3820 hear6030 me, O LORD:3068 I will keep5341 your statutes.2706

146 I cried7121 to you; save3467 me, and I shall keep8104 your testimonies.5713

147 I prevented6923 the dawning5399 of the morning, and cried:7768 I hoped3176 in your word.1697

148 My eyes5869 prevent6923 the night watches,821 that I might meditate7878 in your word.565

149 Hear8085 my voice6963 according to your loving kindness:2617 O LORD,3068 quicken2421 me according to your judgment.4941

150 They draw near7126 that follow7291 after mischief:2154 they are far7368 from your law.8451

151 You are near,7138 O LORD;3068 and all3605 your commandments4687 are truth.571

152 Concerning your testimonies,5713 I have known3045 of old6924 that you have founded3245 them for ever.5769

153 Consider7200 my affliction,6040 and deliver2502 me: for I do not forget7911 your law.8451

154 Plead7378 my cause,7379 and deliver1350 me: quicken2421 me according to your word.565

155 Salvation3444 is far7350 from the wicked:7563 for they seek1875 not your statutes.2706

156 Great7227 are your tender mercies,7356 O LORD:3068 quicken2421 me according to your judgments.4941

157 Many7227 are my persecutors7291 and my enemies;6862 yet do I not decline5186 from your testimonies.5715

158 I beheld7200 the transgressors,898 and was grieved;6962 because834 they kept8104 not your word.565

159 Consider7200 how3588 I love157 your precepts:6490 quicken2421 me, O LORD,3068 according to your loving kindness.2617

160 Your word1697 is true571 from the beginning:7218 and every3605 one of your righteous6664 judgments4941 endures for ever.5769

161 Princes8269 have persecuted7291 me without2600 a cause:2600 but my heart3820 stands in awe6342 of your word.1697

162 I rejoice7797 at5921 your word,565 as one that finds4672 great7227 spoil.7998

163 I hate8130 and abhor8581 lying:8267 but your law8451 do I love.157

164 Seven7651 times a day3117 do I praise1984 you because5921 of your righteous6664 judgments.4941

165 Great7227 peace7965 have they which love157 your law:8451 and nothing369 shall offend4383 them.

166 LORD,3068 I have hoped7663 for your salvation,3444 and done6213 your commandments.4687

167 My soul5315 has kept8104 your testimonies;5713 and I love157 them exceedingly.3966

168 I have kept8104 your precepts6490 and your testimonies:5713 for all3605 my ways1870 are before5048 you.

169 Let my cry7440 come7126 near7126 before6440 you, O LORD:3068 give me understanding995 according to your word.1697

170 Let my supplication8467 come935 before6440 you: deliver5337 me according to your word.565

171 My lips8193 shall utter5042 praise,8416 when3588 you have taught3925 me your statutes.2706

172 My tongue3956 shall speak6030 of your word:565 for all3605 your commandments4687 are righteousness.6664

173 Let your hand3027 help5826 me; for I have chosen977 your precepts.6490

174 I have longed8373 for your salvation,3444 O LORD;3068 and your law8451 is my delight.8191

175 Let my soul5315 live,2421 and it shall praise1984 you; and let your judgments4941 help5826 me.

176 I have gone8582 astray8582 like a lost6 sheep;7716 seek1245 your servant;5650 for I do not forget7911 your commandments.4687

120

1 A Song7892 of degrees.4609 In my distress6869 I cried7121 to the LORD,3068 and he heard6030 me.

2 Deliver5337 my soul,5315 O LORD,3068 from lying8267 lips,8193 and from a deceitful7423 tongue.3956

3 What4100 shall be given5414 to you? or what4100 shall be done3254 to you, you false7423 tongue?3956

4 Sharp8150 arrows2671 of the mighty,1368 with coals1513 of juniper.7574

5 Woe190 is me, that I sojourn1481 in Mesech,4902 that I dwell7931 in the tents168 of Kedar!6938

6 My soul5315 has long7227 dwelled7931 with him that hates8130 peace.7965

7 I am for peace:7965 but when3588 I speak,1696 they are for war.4421

121

1 A Song7892 of degrees.4609 I will lift5375 up my eyes5869 to the hills,2022 from where370 comes935 my help.5828

2 My help5828 comes from the LORD,3068 which made6213 heaven8064 and earth.776

3 He will not suffer5414 your foot7272 to be moved:4132 he that keeps8104 you will not slumber.5123

4 Behold,2009 he that keeps8104 Israel3478 shall neither3808 slumber5123 nor3808 sleep.3462

5 The LORD3068 is your keeper:8104 the LORD3068 is your shade6738 on your right3225 hand.3027

6 The sun8121 shall not smite5221 you by day,3119 nor the moon3394 by night.3915

7 The LORD3068 shall preserve8104 you from all3605 evil:7451 he shall preserve8104 your soul.5315

8 The LORD3068 shall preserve8104 your going3318 out and your coming935 in from this time forth, and even for ever more.5769

122

1 A Song7892 of degrees4609 of David.1732 I was glad8056 when they said559 to me, Let us go3212 into the house1004 of the LORD.3068

2 Our feet7272 shall stand5975 within7130 your gates,8179 O Jerusalem.3389

3 Jerusalem3389 is built1129 as a city5892 that is compact2266 together:3162

4 Where8033 the tribes7626 go5927 up, the tribes7626 of the LORD,3050 to the testimony5715 of Israel,3478 to give thanks3034 to the name8034 of the LORD.3068

5 For there8033 are set3427 thrones3678 of judgment,4941 the thrones3678 of the house1004 of David.1732

6 Pray7592 for the peace7965 of Jerusalem:3389 they shall prosper7951 that love157 you.

7 Peace7965 be within your walls,2426 and prosperity7962 within your palaces.759

8 For my brothers251 and companions'7453 sakes,4616 I will now4994 say,1696 Peace7965 be within you.

9 Because4616 of the house1004 of the LORD3068 our God430 I will seek1245 your good.2896

123

1 A Song7892 of degrees.4609 To you lift5375 I up my eyes,5869 O you that dwell3427 in the heavens.8064

2 Behold,2009 as the eyes5869 of servants5650 look to the hand3027 of their masters,113 and as the eyes5869 of a maiden8198 to the hand3027 of her mistress;1404 so3651 our eyes5869 wait on the LORD3068 our God,430 until5704 that he have mercy2603 on us.

3 Have mercy2603 on us, O LORD,3068 have mercy2603 on us: for we are exceedingly7227 filled7646 with contempt.937

4 Our soul5315 is exceedingly7227 filled7646 with the scorning3933 of those that are at ease,7600 and with the contempt937 of the proud.1349

124

1 A Song7892 of degrees4609 of David.1732 If3884 it had not been1961 the LORD3068 who was on our side, now4994 may Israel3478 say;559

2 If3884 it had not been1961 the LORD3068 who was on our side, when men120 rose6965 up against5921 us:

3 Then233 they had swallowed1104 us up quick,2416 when their wrath639 was kindled2734 against us:

4 Then233 the waters4325 had overwhelmed7857 us, the stream5158 had gone5674 over5674 our soul:5315

5 Then233 the proud2121 waters4325 had gone5674 over5674 our soul.5315

6 Blessed1288 be the LORD,3068 who has not given5414 us as a prey2964 to their teeth.8127

7 Our soul5315 is escaped4422 as a bird6833 out of the snare6341 of the fowlers:3369 the snare6341 is broken,7665 and we are escaped.4422

8 Our help5828 is in the name8034 of the LORD,3068 who made6213 heaven8064 and earth.776

125

1 A Song7892 of degrees.4609 They that trust982 in the LORD3068 shall be as mount2022 Zion,6726 which cannot3808 be removed,4131 but stays3427 for ever.5769

2 As the mountains2022 are round5439 about Jerusalem,3389 so the LORD3068 is round5439 about his people5971 from now on6258 even for ever.5769

3 For the rod7626 of the wicked7562 shall not rest5117 on the lot1486 of the righteous;6662 lest4616 3808 the righteous6662 put7971 forth7971 their hands3027 to iniquity.5766

4 Do good,2895 O LORD,3068 to those that be good,2896 and to them that are upright3477 in their hearts.3826

5 As for such as turn5186 aside5186 to their crooked6128 ways, the LORD3068 shall lead3212 them forth with the workers6466 of iniquity:205 but peace7965 shall be on Israel.3478

126

1 A Song7892 of degrees.4609 When the LORD3068 turned7725 again the captivity7622 of Zion,6726 we were like them that dream.2472

2 Then227 was our mouth6310 filled4390 with laughter,7814 and our tongue3956 with singing:7440 then227 said559 they among the heathen,1471 The LORD3068 has done6213 great1431 things for them.

3 The LORD3068 has done6213 great1431 things for us; whereof we are glad.8056

4 Turn7725 again7725 our captivity,7622 O LORD,3068 as the streams650 in the south.5045

5 They that sow2232 in tears1832 shall reap7114 in joy.7440

6 He that goes3212 forth and weeps,1058 bearing5375 precious4901 seed,2233 shall doubtless come935 again with rejoicing,7440 bringing5375 his sheaves485 with him.

127

1 A Song7892 of degrees4609 for Solomon.8010 Except518 3808 the LORD3068 build1129 the house,1004 they labor5998 in vain7723 that build1129 it: except3808 the LORD3068 keep8104 the city,5892 the watchman8104 wakes8245 but in vain.7723

2 It is vain7723 for you to rise6965 up early,7925 to sit3427 up late,309 to eat398 the bread3899 of sorrows:6089 for so3651 he gives5414 his beloved3039 sleep.8142

3 See,2009 children1121 are an heritage5159 of the LORD:3068 and the fruit6529 of the womb990 is his reward.7939

4 As arrows2671 are in the hand3027 of a mighty1368 man; so3651 are children1121 of the youth.5271

5 Happy835 is the man1397 that has his quiver827 full4390 of them: they shall not be ashamed,954 but they shall speak1696 with the enemies341 in the gate.8179

128

1 A Song7892 of degrees.4609 Blessed835 is every3605 one that fears3373 the LORD;3068 that walks1980 in his ways.1870

2 For you shall eat398 the labor3018 of your hands:3709 happy835 shall you be, and it shall be well2896 with you.

3 Your wife802 shall be as a fruitful6509 vine1612 by the sides3411 of your house:1004 your children1121 like olive2132 plants8363 round5439 about your table.7979

4 Behold,2009 that thus3651 shall the man1397 be blessed1288 that fears3373 the LORD.3068

5 The LORD3068 shall bless1288 you out of Zion:6726 and you shall see7200 the good2898 of Jerusalem3389 all3605 the days3117 of your life.2416

6 Yes, you shall see7200 your children's1121 children,1121 and peace7965 on Israel.3478

129

1 A Song7892 of degrees.4609 Many7227 a time7227 have they afflicted6887 me from my youth,5271 may Israel3478 now4994 say:559

2 Many7227 a time7227 have they afflicted6887 me from my youth:5271 yet1571 they have not prevailed3201 against me.

3 The plowers2790 plowed2790 on my back:1354 they made long748 their furrows.4618

4 The LORD3068 is righteous:6662 he has cut7112 asunder the cords5688 of the wicked.7563

5 Let them all3605 be confounded954 and turned5472 back268 that hate8130 Zion.6726

6 Let them be as the grass2682 on the housetops,1406 which wither3001 before6924 it grows8025 up:

7 With which the mower7114 fills4390 not his hand;3709 nor he that binds6014 sheaves485 his bosom.2683

8 Neither3808 do they which go5674 by say,559 The blessing1293 of the LORD3068 be on you: we bless1288 you in the name8034 of the LORD.3068

130

1 A Song7892 of degrees.4609 Out of the depths4615 have I cried7121 to you, O LORD.3068

2 Lord,136 hear8085 my voice:6963 let your ears241 be attentive7183 to the voice6963 of my supplications.8469

3 If518 you, LORD,3050 should mark8104 iniquities,5771 O Lord,136 who4310 shall stand?5975

4 But there is forgiveness5547 with you, that you may be feared.3372

5 I wait6960 for the LORD,3068 my soul5315 does wait,6960 and in his word1697 do I hope.3176

6 My soul5315 waits for the Lord136 more than they that watch8104 for the morning:1242 I say, more than they that watch8104 for the morning.1242

7 Let Israel3478 hope3176 in the LORD:3068 for with the LORD3068 there is mercy,2617 and with him is plenteous7235 redemption.6304

8 And he shall redeem6299 Israel3478 from all3605 his iniquities.5771

131

1 A Song7892 of degrees4609 of David.1732 Lord,3068 my heart3820 is not haughty,1361 nor3808 my eyes5869 lofty:7311 neither3808 do I exercise1980 myself in great1419 matters,1419 or in things too high6381 for me.

2 Surely518 3808 I have behaved7737 and quieted1826 myself,5315 as a child that is weaned1580 of his mother:517 my soul5315 is even as a weaned1580 child.

3 Let Israel3478 hope3176 in the LORD3068 from now on6258 and for ever.5769

132

1 A Song7892 of degrees.4609 Lord,3068 remember2142 David,1732 and all3605 his afflictions:6031

2 How834 he swore7650 to the LORD,3068 and vowed5087 to the mighty46 God of Jacob;3290

3 Surely518 I will not come935 into the tabernacle168 of my house,1004 nor go5927 up into5921 my bed;6210

4 I will not give5414 sleep8142 to my eyes,5869 or slumber8572 to my eyelids,6079

5 Until5704 I find4672 out a place4725 for the LORD,3068 an habitation4908 for the mighty46 God of Jacob.3290

6 See,2009 we heard8085 of it at Ephratah:672 we found4672 it in the fields7704 of the wood.3293

7 We will go935 into his tabernacles:4908 we will worship7812 at his footstool.1916 7272

8 Arise,6965 O LORD,3068 into your rest;4496 you, and the ark727 of your strength.5797

9 Let your priests3548 be clothed3847 with righteousness;6664 and let your saints2623 shout7442 for joy.7442

10 For your servant5650 David's1732 sake5668 turn7725 not away the face6440 of your anointed.4899

11 The LORD3068 has sworn7650 in truth571 to David;1732 he will not turn7725 from it; Of the fruit6529 of your body990 will I set7896 on your throne.3678

12 If518 your children1121 will keep8104 my covenant1285 and my testimony5713 that I shall teach3925 them, their children1121 shall also1571 sit3427 on your throne3678 for ever more.5703

13 For the LORD3068 has chosen977 Zion;6726 he has desired183 it for his habitation.4186

14 This is my rest4496 for ever:5703 here6311 will I dwell;3427 for I have desired183 it.

15 I will abundantly1288 bless1288 her provision:6718 I will satisfy7646 her poor34 with bread.3899

16 I will also clothe3847 her priests3548 with salvation:3468 and her saints2623 shall shout7442 aloud7442 for joy.7442

17 There8033 will I make the horn7161 of David1732 to bud:6779 I have ordained6186 a lamp5216 for my anointed.4899

18 His enemies341 will I clothe3847 with shame:1322 but on himself shall his crown5145 flourish.6692

133

1 A Song7892 of degrees4609 of David.1732 Behold,2009 how4100 good2896 and how4100 pleasant5273 it is for brothers251 to dwell3427 together3162 in unity!3162

2 It is like the precious2896 ointment8081 on the head,7218 that ran3331 down3381 on the beard,2206 even Aaron's175 beard:2206 that went3381 down3381 to the skirts6310 of his garments;4060

3 As the dew2919 of Hermon,2768 and as the dew that descended3381 on the mountains2042 of Zion:6726 for there8033 the LORD3068 commanded6680 the blessing,1293 even life2416 for ever more.5769

134

1 A Song7892 of degrees.4609 Behold,2009 bless1288 you the LORD,3068 all3605 you servants5650 of the LORD,3068 which by night3915 stand5975 in the house1004 of the LORD.3068

2 Lift5375 up your hands3027 in the sanctuary,6944 and bless1288 the LORD.3068

3 The LORD3068 that made6213 heaven8064 and earth776 bless1288 you out of Zion.6726

135

1 Praise1984 you the LORD.3050 Praise1984 you the name8034 of the LORD;3068 praise1984 him, O you servants5650 of the LORD.3068

2 You that stand5975 in the house1004 of the LORD,3068 in the courts2691 of the house1004 of our God.430

3 Praise1984 the LORD;3050 for the LORD3068 is good:2896 sing2167 praises to his name;8034 for it is pleasant.5273

4 For the LORD3050 has chosen977 Jacob3290 to himself, and Israel3478 for his peculiar5459 treasure.

5 For I know3045 that the LORD3068 is great,1419 and that our Lord113 is above all3605 gods.430

6 Whatever3605 834 the LORD3068 pleased,2654 that did6213 he in heaven,8064 and in earth,776 in the seas,3220 and all3605 deep8415 places.

7 He causes the vapors5387 to ascend5927 from the ends7097 of the earth;776 he makes6213 lightning1300 for the rain;4306 he brings3318 the wind7307 out of his treasuries.214

8 Who smote5221 the firstborn1060 of Egypt,4714 both of man120 and beast.929

9 Who sent7971 tokens226 and wonders4159 into the middle8432 of you, O Egypt,4714 on Pharaoh,6547 and on all3605 his servants.5650

10 Who smote5221 great7227 nations,1471 and slew2026 mighty6099 kings;4428

11 Sihon5511 king4428 of the Amorites,567 and Og5747 king4428 of Bashan,1316 and all3605 the kingdoms4467 of Canaan:3667

12 And gave5414 their land776 for an heritage,5159 an heritage5159 to Israel3478 his people.5971

13 Your name,8034 O LORD,3068 endures for ever;5769 and your memorial,2143 O LORD,3068 throughout all generations.1755

14 For the LORD3068 will judge1777 his people,5971 and he will repent5162 himself concerning5921 his servants.5650

15 The idols6091 of the heathen1471 are silver3701 and gold,2091 the work4639 of men's120 hands.3027

16 They have mouths,6310 but they speak1696 not; eyes5869 have they, but they see7200 not;

17 They have ears,241 but they hear238 not; neither369 is there any breath7307 in their mouths.6310

18 They that make6213 them are like3644 to them: so is every3605 one that trusts982 in them.

19 Bless1288 the LORD,3068 O house1004 of Israel:3478 bless1288 the LORD,3068 O house1004 of Aaron:175

20 Bless1288 the LORD,3068 O house1004 of Levi:3878 you that fear3373 the LORD,3068 bless1288 the LORD.3068

21 Blessed1288 be the LORD3068 out of Zion,6726 which dwells7931 at Jerusalem.3389 Praise1984 you the LORD.3050

8 The sun8121 to rule4475 by day:3117 for his mercy2617 endures for ever:5769

9 The moon3394 and stars3556 to rule4475 by night:3915 for his mercy2617 endures for ever.5769

10 To him that smote5221 Egypt4714 in their firstborn:1060 for his mercy2617 endures for ever:5769

11 And brought3318 out Israel3478 from among8432 them: for his mercy2617 endures for ever:5769

12 With a strong2389 hand,3027 and with a stretched5186 out arm:2220 for his mercy2617 endures for ever.5769

13 To him which divided1504 the Red5488 sea3220 into parts:1506 for his mercy2617 endures for ever:5769

14 And made Israel3478 to pass5674 through8432 the middle8432 of it: for his mercy2617 endures for ever:5769

15 But overthrew5287 Pharaoh6547 and his host2428 in the Red5488 sea:3220 for his mercy2617 endures for ever.5769

18 And slew2026 famous117 kings:4428 for his mercy2617 endures for ever:5769

19 Sihon5511 king4428 of the Amorites:567 for his mercy2617 endures for ever:5769

20 And Og5747 the king4428 of Bashan:1316 for his mercy2617 endures for ever:5769

21 And gave5414 their land776 for an heritage:5159 for his mercy2617 endures for ever:5769

22 Even an heritage5159 to Israel3478 his servant:5650 for his mercy2617 endures for ever.5769

23 Who remembered2142 us in our low8213 estate: for his mercy2617 endures for ever:5769

24 And has redeemed6561 us from our enemies:6862 for his mercy2617 endures for ever.5769

137

1 By the rivers5104 of Babylon,894 there8033 we sat3427 down, yes,1571 we wept,1058 when we remembered2142 Zion.6726

2 We hanged8518 our harps3658 on the willows6155 in the middle8432 thereof.

3 For there8033 they that carried7617 us away captive7617 required7592 of us a song;1697 7892 and they that wasted8437 us required of us mirth,8057 saying, Sing7891 us one of the songs7892 of Zion.6726

4 How349 shall we sing7891 the LORD's3068 song7892 in a strange5236 land?127

5 If518 I forget7911 you, O Jerusalem,3389 let my right3225 hand3225 forget7911 her cunning.

6 If518 I do not remember2142 you, let my tongue3956 stick1692 to the roof2441 of my mouth;2441 if518 I prefer5927 not Jerusalem3389 above5921 my chief7218 joy.8057

7 Remember,2142 O LORD,3068 the children1121 of Edom123 in the day3117 of Jerusalem;3389 who said,559 Raze6168 it, raze6168 it, even to the foundation3247 thereof.

8 O daughter1323 of Babylon,894 who are to be destroyed;7703 happy835 shall he be, that rewards7999 you as you have served1580 us.

9 Happy835 shall he be, that takes270 and dashes5310 your little5768 ones against413 the stones.5553

138

1 A Psalm of David.1732 I will praise3034 you with my whole3605 heart:3820 before5048 the gods430 will I sing2167 praise2167 to you.

2 I will worship7812 toward413 your holy6944 temple,1964 and praise3034 your name8034 for your loving kindness2617 and for your truth:571 for you have magnified1431 your word565 above5921 all3605 your name.8034

3 In the day3117 when I cried7121 you answered6030 me, and strengthened7292 me with strength5797 in my soul.5315

4 All3605 the kings4428 of the earth776 shall praise3034 you, O LORD,3068 when3588 they hear8085 the words561 of your mouth.6310

5 Yes, they shall sing7891 in the ways1870 of the LORD:3068 for great1419 is the glory3519 of the LORD.3068

6 Though3588 the LORD3068 be high,7311 yet has he respect7200 to the lowly:8217 but the proud1364 he knows3045 afar4801 off.

7 Though518 I walk3212 in the middle7130 of trouble,6869 you will revive2421 me: you shall stretch7971 forth your hand3027 against5921 the wrath639 of my enemies,341 and your right3225 hand3225 shall save3467 me.

8 The LORD3068 will perfect1584 that which concerns1157 me: your mercy,2617 O LORD,3068 endures for ever:5769 forsake7503 not the works4639 of your own hands.3027

139

1 To the chief5329 Musician,5329 A Psalm4210 of David.1732 O lord,3068 you have searched2713 me, and known3045 me.

2 You know3045 my sitting down3427 and my rising up,6965 you understand995 my thought7454 afar7350 off.

3 You compass2219 my path734 and my lying7252 down,7252 and are acquainted5532 with all3605 my ways.1870

4 For there is not a word4405 in my tongue,3956 but, see,2005 O LORD,3068 you know3045 it altogether.3605

5 You have beset6696 me behind268 and before,6924 and laid7896 your hand3709 on me.

6 Such knowledge1847 is too wonderful6383 for me; it is high,7682 I cannot3808 3201 attain to it.

7 Where575 shall I go3212 from your spirit?7307 or where575 shall I flee1272 from your presence?6440

8 If518 I ascend5927 up into heaven,8064 you are there:8033 if I make3331 my bed3331 in hell,7585 behold,2009 you are there.

9 If I take5375 the wings3671 of the morning,7837 and dwell7931 in the uttermost319 parts of the sea;3220

10 Even1571 there8033 shall your hand3027 lead5148 me, and your right3225 hand3225 shall hold270 me.

11 If I say,559 Surely389 the darkness2822 shall cover7779 me; even the night3915 shall be light216 about1157 me.

12 Yes,1571 the darkness2822 hides2821 not from you; but the night3915 shines215 as the day:3117 the darkness2825 and the light219 are both alike to you.

13 For you have possessed7069 my reins:3629 you have covered5526 me in my mother's517 womb.990

14 I will praise3034 you; for I am fearfully3372 and wonderfully6395 made: marvelous6381 are your works;4639 and that my soul5315 knows3045 right3966 well.

15 My substance6108 was not hid3582 from you, when834 I was made6213 in secret,5643 and curiously7551 worked7551 in the lowest8482 parts of the earth.776

16 Your eyes5869 did see7200 my substance,1564 yet being imperfect; and in your book5612 all3605 my members were written,3789 which in continuance3117 were fashioned,3335 when as yet there was none3808 259 of them.

17 How4100 precious3365 also are your thoughts7454 to me, O God!410 how4100 great6105 is the sum7218 of them!

18 If I should count5608 them, they are more7235 in number than the sand:2344 when I awake,6974 I am still5750 with you.

19 Surely518 you will slay6991 the wicked,7563 O God:433 depart5493 from me therefore, you bloody1818 men.582

20 For they speak559 against you wickedly,4209 and your enemies6145 take5375 your name in vain.7723

21 Do not I hate8130 them, O LORD,3068 that hate8130 you? and am not I grieved6962 with those that rise8618 up against you?

22 I hate8130 them with perfect8503 hatred:8135 I count1961 them my enemies.341

23 Search2713 me, O God,410 and know3045 my heart:3824 try974 me, and know3045 my thoughts:8312

24 And see7200 if518 there be any wicked6090 way1870 in me, and lead5148 me in the way1870 everlasting.5769

140

1 To the chief5329 Musician,5329 A Psalm4210 of David.1732 Deliver2502 me, O LORD,3068 from the evil7451 man:120 preserve5341 me from the violent2555 man;376

2 Which834 imagine2803 mischiefs7451 in their heart;3820 continually3605 3117 are they gathered1481 together for war.4421

3 They have sharpened8150 their tongues3956 like a serpent;5175 adders'5919 poison2534 is under8478 their lips.8193 Selah.5542

4 Keep8104 me, O LORD,3068 from the hands3027 of the wicked;7563 preserve5341 me from the violent2555 man;376 who834 have purposed2803 to overthrow1760 my goings.6471

5 The proud1343 have hid2934 a snare6341 for me, and cords;2256 they have spread6566 a net7568 by the wayside;3027 4570 they have set7896 gins4170 for me. Selah.5542

6 I said559 to the LORD,3068 You are my God:410 hear238 the voice of my supplications,8469 O LORD.3068

7 O GOD3069 the Lord,136 the strength5797 of my salvation,3444 you have covered5526 my head7218 in the day3117 of battle.5402

8 Grant5414 not, O LORD,3068 the desires3970 of the wicked:7563 further6329 not his wicked2162 device; lest they exalt7311 themselves. Selah.5542

9 As for the head7218 of those that compass4524 me about, let the mischief5999 of their own lips8193 cover3680 them.

10 Let burning784 coals1513 fall4131 on them: let them be cast5307 into the fire;784 into deep4113 pits, that they rise6965 not up again.

11 Let not an evil speaker376 3956 be established3559 in the earth:776 evil7451 shall hunt6679 the violent2555 man376 to overthrow4073 him.

12 I know3045 that the LORD3068 will maintain6213 the cause1779 of the afflicted,6041 and the right4941 of the poor.34

13 Surely389 the righteous6662 shall give thanks3034 to your name:8034 the upright3477 shall dwell3427 in your presence.6440

141

1 A Psalm4210 of David.1732 Lord,3068 I cry7121 to you: make haste2363 to me; give ear238 to my voice,6963 when I cry7121 to you.

2 Let my prayer8605 be set3559 forth before6440 you as incense;7004 and the lifting4864 up of my hands3709 as the evening6153 sacrifice.4503

3 Set7896 a watch,8108 O LORD,3068 before my mouth;6310 keep5341 the door1817 of my lips.8193

4 Incline5186 not my heart3820 to any evil7451 thing,1697 to practice5953 wicked7562 works5949 with men376 that work5950 iniquity:205 and let me not eat3898 of their dainties.4516

5 Let the righteous6662 smite1986 me; it shall be a kindness:2617 and let him reprove3198 me; it shall be an excellent7218 oil,8081 which shall not break5106 my head:7218 for yet5750 my prayer8605 also shall be in their calamities.7451

6 When their judges8199 are overthrown8058 in stony5553 places,3027 they shall hear8085 my words;561 for they are sweet.5276

7 Our bones6106 are scattered6340 at the grave's7585 mouth,6310 as when one cuts6398 and splits1234 wood on the earth.776

8 But my eyes5869 are to you, O GOD3069 the Lord:136 in you is my trust;2620 leave6168 not my soul5315 destitute.6168

9 Keep8104 me from the snares6341 which they have laid3369 for me, and the gins4170 of the workers6466 of iniquity.205

10 Let the wicked7563 fall5307 into their own nets,4365 whilst5704 that I with3162 escape.5674

142

1 Maschil4905 of David;1732 A Prayer8605 when he was in the cave.4631 I cried2199 to the LORD3068 with my voice;6963 with my voice6963 to the LORD3068 did I make my supplication.2603

2 I poured8210 out my complaint7879 before6440 him; I showed5046 before6440 him my trouble.6869

3 When my spirit7307 was overwhelmed5848 within5921 me, then you knew3045 my path.5410 In the way734 wherein2098 I walked1980 have they privately2934 laid2934 a snare6341 for me.

4 I looked5027 on my right3225 hand,3225 and beheld,7200 but there was no369 man that would know5234 me: refuge4498 failed6 me; no369 man cared1875 for my soul.5315

5 I cried2199 to you, O LORD:3068 I said,559 You are my refuge4268 and my portion2506 in the land776 of the living.2416

6 Attend7181 to my cry;7440 for I am brought1809 very3966 low:1809 deliver5337 me from my persecutors;7291 for they are stronger553 than I.

7 Bring3318 my soul5315 out of prison,4525 that I may praise3034 your name:8034 the righteous6662 shall compass3803 me about; for you shall deal1580 bountifully1580 with me.

143

1 A Psalm4210 of David.1732 Hear8085 my prayer,8605 O LORD,3068 give ear238 to my supplications:8469 in your faithfulness530 answer6030 me, and in your righteousness.6666

2 And enter935 not into judgment4941 with your servant:5650 for in your sight6440 shall no3808 man living2416 be justified.6663

3 For the enemy341 has persecuted7291 my soul;5315 he has smitten1792 my life2416 down to the ground;776 he has made me to dwell3427 in darkness,4285 as those that have been long5769 dead.4191

4 Therefore is my spirit7307 overwhelmed5848 within5921 me; my heart3820 within8432 me is desolate.8074

5 I remember2142 the days3117 of old;6924 I meditate1897 on all3605 your works;6467 I muse7878 on the work4639 of your hands.3027

6 I stretch6566 forth my hands3027 to you: my soul5315 thirsts after you, as a thirsty land.776 Selah.5542

7 Hear6030 me speedily,4118 O LORD:3068 my spirit7307 fails:3615 hide5641 not your face6440 from me, lest I be like4911 to them that go3381 down3381 into the pit.953

8 Cause me to hear8085 your loving kindness2617 in the morning;1242 for in you do I trust:982 cause me to know3045 the way1870 wherein2098 I should walk;3212 for I lift5375 up my soul5315 to you.

9 Deliver5337 me, O LORD,3068 from my enemies:341 I flee3680 to you to hide3680 me.

10 Teach3925 me to do6213 your will;7522 for you are my God:430 your spirit7307 is good;2896 lead5148 me into the land776 of uprightness.4334

11 Quicken2421 me, O LORD,3068 for your name's8034 sake: for your righteousness'6666 sake bring3318 my soul5315 out of trouble.6869

12 And of your mercy2617 cut6789 off my enemies,341 and destroy6 all3605 them that afflict6887 my soul:5315 for I am your servant.5650

144

1 A Psalm of David.1732 Blessed1288 be the LORD3068 my strength 6697which teaches3925 my hands3027 to war,4421 7128 and my fingers676 to fight:4421

2 My goodness,2617 and my fortress;4686 my high4869 tower,4869 and my deliverer;6403 my shield,4043 and he in whom I trust;2620 who subdues7286 my people5971 under8478 me.

3 LORD,3068 what4100 is man,120 that you take knowledge3045 of him! or the son1121 of man,582 that you make account2803 of him!

4 Man120 is like1819 to vanity:1892 his days3117 are as a shadow6738 that passes5674 away.

5 Bow5186 your heavens,8064 O LORD,3068 and come3381 down:3381 touch5060 the mountains,2022 and they shall smoke.6225

6 Cast1299 forth lightning,1300 and scatter6327 them: shoot7971 out your arrows,2671 and destroy1949 them.

7 Send7971 your hand3027 from above;4791 rid6475 me, and deliver5337 me out of great7227 waters,4325 from the hand3027 of strange5236 children;1121

8 Whose834 mouth6310 speaks1696 vanity,7723 and their right3225 hand3225 is a right3225 hand3225 of falsehood.8267

9 I will sing7891 a new2319 song7892 to you, O God:430 on a psaltery5035 and an instrument of ten6218 strings will I sing2167 praises to you.

10 It is he that gives5414 salvation8668 to kings:4428 who delivers6475 David1732 his servant5650 from the hurtful7451 sword.2719

11 Rid6475 me, and deliver5337 me from the hand3027 of strange5236 children,1121 whose834 mouth6310 speaks1696 vanity,7723 and their right3225 hand3225 is a right3225 hand3225 of falsehood:8267

12 That our sons1121 may be as plants5195 grown1431 up in their youth;5271 that our daughters1323 may be as corner2106 stones,2106 polished2404 after the similitude8403 of a palace:1964

13 That our garners4200 may be full,4392 affording6329 all manner2177 of store: that our sheep6629 may bring503 forth thousands503 and ten7231 thousands7233 in our streets:2351

14 That our oxen441 may be strong to labor;5445 that there be no369 breaking6556 in, nor369 going3318 out; that there be no369 complaining6682 in our streets.7339

15 Happy835 is that people,5971 that is in such3602 a case:3602 yes, happy835 is that people,5971 whose God430 is the LORD.3068

145

1 David's1732 Psalm of praise.8416 I will extol7311 you, my God,430 O king;4428 and I will bless1288 your name8034 for ever5769 and ever.5703

2 Every3605 day3117 will I bless1288 you; and I will praise1984 your name8034 for ever5769 and ever.5703

3 Great1419 is the LORD,3068 and greatly3966 to be praised;1984 and his greatness1420 is unsearchable.369 2714

4 One generation1755 shall praise7623 your works4639 to another, and shall declare5046 your mighty1369 acts.

5 I will speak7878 of the glorious3519 honor1926 of your majesty,1935 and of your wondrous6381 works.1697

6 And men shall speak559 of the might5807 of your terrible3372 acts: and I will declare5608 your greatness.1420

7 They shall abundantly5042 utter5042 the memory2143 of your great7227 goodness,2898 and shall sing7442 of your righteousness.6666

8 The LORD3068 is gracious,2587 and full of compassion;7349 slow750 to anger,639 and of great1419 mercy.2617

9 The LORD3068 is good2896 to all:3605 and his tender mercies7356 are over5921 all3605 his works.4639

10 All3605 your works4639 shall praise3034 you, O LORD;3068 and your saints2623 shall bless1288 you.

11 They shall speak559 of the glory3519 of your kingdom,4438 and talk1696 of your power;1369

12 To make known3045 to the sons1121 of men120 his mighty1369 acts, and the glorious3519 majesty1926 of his kingdom.4438

13 Your kingdom4438 is an everlasting5769 kingdom,4438 and your dominion4475 endures throughout all generations.1755

14 The LORD3068 upholds5564 all3605 that fall,5307 and raises2210 up all3605 those that be bowed3721 down.

15 The eyes5869 of all3605 wait7663 on you; and you give5414 them their meat400 in due season.6256

16 You open6605 your hand,3027 and satisfy7646 the desire7522 of every3605 living2416 thing.

17 The LORD3068 is righteous6662 in all3605 his ways,1870 and holy2623 in all3605 his works.4639

18 The LORD3068 is near7138 to all3605 them that call7121 on him, to all3605 that call7121 on him in truth.571

19 He will fulfill6213 the desire7522 of them that fear3373 him: he also will hear8085 their cry,7775 and will save3467 them.

20 The LORD3068 preserves8104 all3605 them that love157 him: but all3605 the wicked7563 will he destroy.8045

21 My mouth6310 shall speak1696 the praise8416 of the LORD:3068 and let all3605 flesh1320 bless1288 his holy6944 name8034 for ever5769 and ever.5703

1 Praise1984 you the LORD.3050 Praise1984 the LORD,3068 O my soul.5315

2 While I live2416 will I praise1984 the LORD:3068 I will sing2167 praises to my God430 while5750 I have any being.5750

3 Put not your trust982 in princes,5081 nor in the son1121 of man,120 in whom there is no369 help.8668

4 His breath7307 goes3318 forth,3318 he returns7725 to his earth;127 in that very day3117 his thoughts6250 perish.6

5 Happy835 is he that has the God410 of Jacob3290 for his help,5828 whose hope7664 is in the LORD3068 his God:430

6 Which made6213 heaven,8064 and earth,776 the sea,3220 and all3605 that therein is: which keeps8104 truth571 for ever:5769

7 Which executes6213 judgment4941 for the oppressed:6231 which gives5414 food3899 to the hungry.7456 The LORD3068 looses5425 the prisoners:631

8 The LORD3068 opens6491 the eyes of the blind:5787 the LORD3068 raises2210 them that are bowed3721 down: the LORD3068 loves157 the righteous:6662

9 The LORD3068 preserves8104 the strangers;1616 he relieves5749 the fatherless3490 and widow:490 but the way1870 of the wicked7563 he turns5791 upside down.

10 The LORD3068 shall reign4427 for ever,5769 even your God,430 O Zion,6726 to all generations.1755 Praise1984 you the LORD.3050

147

2 The LORD3068 does build1129 up Jerusalem:3389 he gathers3664 together the outcasts1760 of Israel.3478

3 He heals7495 the broken7665 in heart,3820 and binds2280 up their wounds.6094

4 He tells4487 the number4557 of the stars;3556 he calls7121 them all3605 by their names.8034

5 Great1419 is our Lord,113 and of great7227 power:3581 his understanding8394 is infinite.369 4557

6 The LORD3068 lifts5749 up the meek:6035 he casts8213 the wicked7563 down8213 to the ground.776

7 Sing6030 to the LORD3068 with thanksgiving;8426 sing2167 praise on the harp3658 to our God:430

8 Who covers3680 the heaven8064 with clouds,5645 who prepares3559 rain4306 for the earth,776 who makes grass2682 to grow6779 on the mountains.2022

9 He gives5414 to the beast929 his food,3899 and to the young1121 ravens6158 which834 cry.7121

10 He delights2654 not in the strength1369 of the horse:5483 he takes not pleasure7521 in the legs7785 of a man.376

11 The LORD3068 takes pleasure7521 in them that fear3373 him, in those that hope3176 in his mercy.2617

12 Praise7623 the LORD,3068 O Jerusalem;3389 praise1984 your God,430 O Zion.6726

13 For he has strengthened2388 the bars1280 of your gates;8179 he has blessed1288 your children1121 within7130 you.

14 He makes7760 peace7965 in your borders,1366 and fills7646 you with the finest2459 of the wheat.2406

15 He sends7971 forth his commandment565 on earth:776 his word1697 runs7323 very5704 swiftly.4120

16 He gives5414 snow7950 like wool:6785 he scatters6340 the hoarfrost3713 like ashes.665

17 He casts7993 forth his ice7140 like morsels:6595 who4310 can stand5975 before6440 his cold?7135

18 He sends7971 out his word,1697 and melts4529 them: he causes his wind7307 to blow,5380 and the waters4325 flow.5140

19 He shows5046 his word1697 to Jacob,3290 his statutes2706 and his judgments4941 to Israel.3478

20 He has not dealt6213 so3651 with any3605 nation:1471 and as for his judgments,4941 they have not known3045 them. Praise1984 you the LORD.3050
