(1) HAPPY IS the man that hath not walked in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the seat of the scornful.

(2) But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in His law doth he meditate day and night.

(3) And he shall be like a tree planted by streams of water, that bringeth forth its fruit in its season, and whose leaf doth not wither; and in whatsoever he doeth he shall prosper.

(4) Not so the wicked; but they are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

(5) Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

(6) For the LORD regardeth the way of the righteous; but the way of the wicked shall perish.

(1) Why are the nations in an uproar? And why do the peoples mutter in vain?

(2) The kings of the earth stand up, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the LORD, and against His anointed:

(3) 'Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.'

(4) He that sitteth in heaven laugheth, the Lord hath them in derision.

(5) Then will He speak unto them in His wrath, and affright them in His sore displeasure:

(6) 'Truly it is I that have established My king upon Zion, My holy mountain.'

(7) I will tell of the decree: The LORD said unto me: 'Thou art My son, this day have I begotten thee.

(8) Ask of Me, and I will give the nations for thine inheritance, and the ends of the earth for thy possession.

(9) Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.'

(10) Now therefore, O ye kings, be wise; be admonished, ye judges of the earth.

(11) Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

(12) Do homage in purity, lest He be angry, and ye perish in the way, when suddenly His wrath is kindled. Happy are all they that take refuge in Him.

(2) LORD, how many are mine adversaries become! Many are they that rise up against me.

(3) Many there are that say of my soul: 'There is no salvation for him in God.' Selah

(4) But thou, O LORD, art a shield about me; My glory, and the lifter up of my head.

(5) With my voice I call unto the LORD, and He answereth me out of His holy mountain. Selah

(6) I lay me down, and I sleep; I awake, for the LORD sustaineth me.

(7) I am not afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.

(8) Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God; for Thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek, Thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.

(9) Salvation belongeth unto the LORD; Thy blessing be upon Thy people. Selah

(2) Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness, Thou who didst set me free when I was in distress; be gracious unto me, and hear my prayer.

(3) O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be put to shame, in that ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? Selah

(4) But know that the LORD hath set apart the godly man as His own; The LORD will hear when I call unto Him.

(5) Tremble, and sin not; commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah

(6) Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.

(7) Many there are that say: 'Oh that we could see some good!' LORD, lift Thou up the light of Thy countenance upon us.

(8) Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than when their corn and their wine increase.

(9) In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; for Thou, LORD, makest me dwell alone in safety.

(2) Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.

(3) Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God; For unto Thee do I pray.

(4) O LORD, in the morning shalt Thou hear my voice; In the morning will I order my prayer unto Thee, and will look forward.

(5) For Thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness; Evil shall not sojourn with Thee.

(6) The boasters shall not stand in Thy sight; Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

(7) Thou destroyest them that speak falsehood; The LORD abhorreth the man of blood and of deceit.

(8) But as for me, in the abundance of Thy lovingkindness will I come into Thy house; I will bow down toward Thy holy temple in the fear of Thee.

(9) O LORD, lead me in Thy righteousness because of them that lie in wait for me; Make Thy way straight before my face.

(10) For there is no sincerity in their mouth; Their inward part is a yawning gulf, Their throat is an open sepulchre; They make smooth their tongue.

(11) Hold them guilty, O God, Let them fall by their own counsels; Cast them down in the multitude of their transgressions; For they have rebelled against Thee.

(12) So shall all those that take refuge in Thee rejoice, They shall ever shout for joy, And Thou shalt shelter them; Let them also that love Thy name exult in Thee.

(13) For Thou dost bless the righteous; O LORD, Thou dost encompass him with favour as with a shield.

(1) For the Leader; with string-music; on the Sheminith. A Psalm of David.

(2) O LORD, rebuke me not in Thine anger, Neither chasten me in Thy wrath.

(3) Be gracious unto me, O LORD, for I languish away; Heal me, O LORD, for my bones are affrighted.

(4) My soul also is sore affrighted; And Thou, O LORD, how long?

(5) Return, O LORD, deliver my soul; Save me for Thy mercy's sake.

(6) For in death there is no remembrance of Thee; In the nether-world who will give Thee thanks?

(7) I am weary with my groaning; Every night make I my bed to swim; I melt away my couch with my tears.

(8) Mine eye is dimmed because of vexation; It waxeth old because of all mine adversaries.

(9) Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; For the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.

(10) The LORD hath heard my supplication; The LORD receiveth my prayer.

(11) All mine enemies shall be ashamed and sore affrighted; They shall turn back, they shall be ashamed suddenly.

(1) Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the LORD, concerning Cush a Benjamite.

(2) O LORD my God, in Thee have I taken refuge; Save me from all them that pursue me, and deliver me;

(3) Lest he tear my soul like a lion, Rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

(4) O LORD my God, if I have done this; If there be iniquity in my hands;

(5) If I have requited him that did evil unto me, Or spoiled mine adversary unto emptiness;

(6) Let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it, And tread my life down to the earth; Yea, let him lay my glory in the dust. Selah

(7) Arise, O LORD, in Thine anger, Lift up Thyself in indignation against mine adversaries; Yea, awake for me at the judgment which Thou hast commanded.

(8) And let the congregation of the peoples compass Thee about, And over them return Thou on high.

(9) O LORD, who ministerest judgment to the peoples, Judge me, O LORD, According to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.

(10) Oh that a full measure of evil might come upon the wicked, And that Thou wouldest establish the righteous; For the righteous God trieth the heart and reins.

(11) My shield is with God, Who saveth the upright in heart.

(12) God is a righteous judge, Yea, a God that hath indignation every day:

(13) If a man turn not, He will whet His sword, He hath bent His bow, and made it ready;

(14) He hath also prepared for him the weapons of death, Yea, His arrows which He made sharp.

(15) Behold, he travaileth with iniquity; Yea, he conceiveth mischief, and bringeth forth falsehood.

(16) He hath digged a pit, and hollowed it, And is fallen into the ditch which he made.

(17) His mischief shall return upon his own head, And his violence shall come down upon his own pate.

(18) I will give thanks unto the LORD according to His righteousness; And will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.

(2) O LORD, our Lord, How glorious is Thy name in all the earth! Whose majesty is rehearsed above the heavens.

(3) Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast Thou founded strength, Because of Thine adversaries; That Thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

(4) When I behold Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers, The moon and the stars, which Thou hast established;

(5) What is man, that Thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that Thou thinkest of him?

(6) Yet Thou hast made him but little lower than the angels, And hast crowned him with glory and honour.

(7) Thou hast made him to have dominion over the works of Thy hands; Thou hast put all things under His feet:

(8) Sheep and oxen, all of them, Yea, and the beasts of the field;

(9) The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea; Whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

(10) O LORD, our Lord, How glorious is Thy name in all the earth!

(1) For the Leader; upon Muthlabben. A Psalm of David.

(2) I will give thanks unto the LORD with my whole heart; I will tell of all Thy marvellous works.

(3) I will be glad and exult in Thee; I will sing praise to Thy name, O Most High:

(4) When mine enemies are turned back, They stumble and perish at Thy presence;

(5) For Thou hast maintained my right and my cause; Thou sattest upon the throne as the righteous Judge.

(6) Thou hast rebuked the nations, Thou hast destroyed the wicked, Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.

(7) O thou enemy, the waste places are come to an end for ever; And the cities which thou didst uproot, Their very memorial is perished.

(8) But the LORD is enthroned for ever; He hath established His throne for judgment.

(9) And He will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to the peoples with equity.

(10) The LORD also will be a high tower for the oppressed, A high tower in times of trouble;

(11) And they that know Thy name will put their trust in Thee; For thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek Thee.

(12) Sing praises to the LORD, who dwelleth in Zion; Declare among the peoples His doings.

(13) For He that avengeth blood hath remembered them; He hath not forgotten the cry of the humble.

(14) Be gracious unto me, O LORD, Behold mine affliction at the hands of them that hate me; Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death;

(15) That I may tell of all Thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion, That I may rejoice in Thy salvation.

(16) The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made; In the net which they hid is their own foot taken.

(17) The LORD hath made Himself known, He hath executed judgment, The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah

(18) The wicked shall return to the nether-world, Even all the nations that forget God.

(19) For the needy shall not alway be forgotten, Nor the expectation of the poor perish for ever.

(20) Arise, O LORD, let not man prevail; Let the nations be judged in Thy sight.

(21) Set terror over them, O LORD; Let the nations know they are but men. Selah

(1) Why standest Thou afar off, O LORD? Why hidest Thou Thyself in times of trouble?

(2) Through the pride of the wicked the poor is hotly pursued, They are taken in the devices that they have imagined.

(3) For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, And the covetous vaunteth himself, though he contemn the LORD.

(4) The wicked, in the pride of his countenance [, saith]: 'He will not require'; All his thoughts are: 'There is no God.'

(5) His ways prosper at all times; Thy judgments are far above out of his sight; As for all his adversaries, he puffeth at them.

(6) He saith in his heart: 'I shall not be moved, I who to all generations shall not be in adversity.'

(7) His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and oppression; Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.

(8) He sitteth in the lurking-places of the villages; In secret places doth he slay the innocent; His eyes are on the watch for the helpless.

(9) He lieth in wait in a secret place as a lion in his lair, He lieth in wait to catch the poor; He doth catch the poor, when he draweth him up in his net.

(10) He croucheth, he boweth down, And the helpless fall into his mighty claws.

(11) He hath said in his heart: 'God hath forgotten; He hideth His face; He will never see.'

(12) Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up Thy hand; Forget not the humble.

(13) Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God, And say in his heart: 'Thou wilt not require'?

(14) Thou hast seen; for Thou beholdest trouble and vexation, to requite them with Thy hand; Unto Thee the helpless committeth himself; Thou hast been the helper of the fatherless.

(15) Break Thou the arm of the wicked; And as for the evil man, search out his wickedness, till none be found.

(16) The LORD is King for ever and ever; The nations are perished out of His land.

(17) LORD, Thou hast heard the desire of the humble: Thou wilt direct their heart, Thou wilt cause Thine ear to attend;

(18) To right the fatherless and the oppressed, That man who is of the earth may be terrible no more.

(5) The LORD trieth the righteous; but the wicked and him that loveth violence His soul hateth.

(6) Upon the wicked He will cause to rain coals; fire and brimstone and burning wind shall be the portion of their cup.

(7) For the LORD is righteous, He loveth righteousness; the upright shall behold His face.

(2) Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; For the faithful fail from among the children of men.

(3) They speak falsehood every one with his neighbour; With flattering lip, and with a double heart, do they speak.

(4) May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, The tongue that speaketh proud things!

(5) Who have said: 'Our tongue will we make mighty; Our lips are with us: who is lord over us?'

(6) 'For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, Now will I arise', saith the LORD; 'I will set him in safety at whom they puff.' .

(7) The words of the LORD are pure words, As silver tried in a crucible on the earth, refined seven times.

(8) Thou wilt keep them, O LORD; Thou wilt preserve us from this generation for ever.

(9) The wicked walk on every side, When vileness is exalted among the sons of men.

(3) How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart by day? How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

(4) Behold Thou, and answer me, O LORD my God; Lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

(5) Lest mine enemy say: 'I have prevailed against him'; Lest mine adversaries rejoice when I am moved.

(6) But as for me, in Thy mercy do I trust; My heart shall rejoice in Thy salvation. I will sing unto the LORD, Because He hath dealt bountifully with me.

(1) For the Leader. [A Psalm] of David. The fool hath said in his heart: 'There is no God'; they have dealt corruptly, they have done abominably; there is none that doeth good.

(2) The LORD looked forth from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any man of understanding, that did seek after God.

(3) They are all corrupt, they are together become impure; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

(4) ’Shall not all the workers of iniquity know it, who eat up My people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD?'

(5) There are they in great fear; for God is with the righteous generation.

(6) Ye would put to shame the counsel of the poor, but the LORD is his refuge.

(7) Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When the LORD turneth the captivity of His people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.

(1) A Psalm of David. LORD, who shall sojourn in Thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell upon Thy holy mountain?

(2) He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, And speaketh truth in his heart;

(3) That hath no slander upon his tongue, Nor doeth evil to his fellow, Nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour;

(4) In whose eyes a vile person is despised, But he honoureth them that fear the LORD; He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not;

(5) He that putteth not out his money on interest, Nor taketh a bribe against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.

(2) I have said unto the LORD: 'Thou art my Lord; I have no good but in Thee';

(3) As for the holy that are in the earth, They are the excellent in whom is all my delight.

(4) Let the idols of them be multiplied that make suit unto another; Their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, Nor take their names upon my lips.

(5) O LORD, the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup, Thou maintainest my lot.

(6) The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; Yea, I have a goodly heritage.

(7) I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel; Yea, in the night seasons my reins instruct me.

(8) I have set the LORD always before me; Surely He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

(9) Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth; my flesh also dwelleth in safety;

(10) For Thou wilt not abandon my soul to the nether-world; Neither wilt Thou suffer Thy godly one to see the pit.

(11) Thou makest me to know the path of life; In Thy presence is fulness of joy, In Thy right hand bliss for evermore.

(1) A Prayer of David. Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry; Give ear unto my prayer from lips without deceit.

(2) Let my judgment come forth from Thy presence; Let Thine eyes behold equity.

(3) Thou hast tried my heart, Thou hast visited it in the night; Thou hast tested me, and Thou findest not That I had a thought which should not pass my mouth.

(4) As for the doings of men, by the word of Thy lips I have kept me from the ways of the violent.

(5) My steps have held fast to Thy paths, My feet have not slipped.

(6) As for me, I call upon Thee, for Thou wilt answer me, O God; Incline Thine ear unto me, hear my speech.

(7) Make passing great Thy mercies, O Thou that savest by Thy right hand From assailants them that take refuge in Thee.

(8) Keep me as the apple of the eye, Hide me in the shadow of Thy wings,

(9) From the wicked that oppress, My deadly enemies, that compass me about.

(10) Their gross heart they have shut tight, With their mouth they speak proudly.

(11) At our every step they have now encompassed us; They set their eyes to cast us down to the earth.

(12) He is like a lion that is eager to tear in pieces, And like a young lion lurking in secret places.

(13) Arise, O LORD, confront him, cast him down; Deliver my soul from the wicked, by Thy sword;

(14) From men, by Thy hand, O LORD, From men of the world, whose portion is in this life, And whose belly Thou fillest with Thy treasure; Who have children in plenty, And leave their abundance to their babes.

(15) As for me, I shall behold Thy face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with Thy likeness.

(1) For the Leader. [A Psalm] of David the servant of the LORD, who spoke unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul;

(2) And he said: I love thee, O LORD, my strength.

(3) The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; My God, my rock, in Him I take refuge; my shield, and my horn of salvation, my high tower.

(4) Praised, I cry, is the LORD, and I am saved from mine enemies. .

(5) The cords of Death compassed me, and the floods of Belial assailed me.

(6) The cords of Sheol surrounded me; the snares of Death confronted me.

(7) In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God; out of His temple He heard my voice, and my cry came before Him unto His ears.

(8) Then the earth did shake and quake, the foundations also of the mountains did tremble; they were shaken, because He was wroth.

(9) Smoke arose up in His nostrils, and fire out of His mouth did devour; coals flamed forth from Him.

(10) He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and thick darkness was under His feet.

(11) And He rode upon a cherub, and did fly; yea, He did swoop down upon the wings of the wind.

(12) He made darkness His hiding-place, His pavilion round about Him; darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.

(13) At the brightness before Him, there passed through His thick clouds Hailstones and coals of fire.

(14) The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Most High gave forth His voice; hailstones and coals of fire.

(15) And He sent out His arrows, and scattered them; and He shot forth lightnings, and discomfited them.

(16) And the channels of waters appeared, and the foundations of the world were laid bare, at Thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of Thy nostrils.

(17) He sent from on high, He took me; He drew me out of many waters.

(18) He delivered me from mine enemy most strong, and from them that hated me, for they were too mighty for me.

(19) They confronted me in the day of my calamity; but the LORD was a stay unto me.

(20) He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me, because He delighted in me.

(21) The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath He recompensed me. .

(22) For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

(23) For all His ordinances were before me, and I put not away His statutes from me.

(24) And I was single-hearted with Him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.

(25) Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in His eyes.

(26) With the merciful Thou dost show Thyself merciful, with the upright man Thou dost show Thyself upright;

(27) With the pure Thou dost show Thyself pure; and with the crooked Thou dost show Thyself subtle.

(28) For Thou dost save the afflicted people; but the haughty eyes Thou dost humble.

(29) For Thou dost light my lamp; the LORD my God doth lighten my darkness.

(30) For by Thee I run upon a troop; and by my God do I scale a wall.

(31) As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried; He is a shield unto all them that take refuge in Him.

(32) For who is God, save the LORD? And who is a Rock, except our God?

(33) The God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way straight;

(34) Who maketh my feet like hinds', and setteth me upon my high places;

(35) Who traineth my hands for war, so that mine arms do bend a bow of brass.

(36) Thou hast also given me Thy shield of salvation, and Thy right hand hath holden me up; and Thy condescension hath made me great.

(37) Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, and my feet have not slipped.

(38) I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them; neither did I turn back till they were consumed.

(39) I have smitten them through, so that they are not able to rise; they are fallen under my feet.

(40) For Thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle; Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.

(41) Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me, and I did cut off them that hate me.

(42) They cried, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but He answered them not.

(43) Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind; I did cast them out as the mire of the streets.

(44) Thou hast delivered me from the contentions of the people; Thou hast made me the head of the nations; a people whom I have not known serve me.

(45) As soon as they hear of me, they obey me; The sons of the stranger dwindle away before me.

(46) The sons of the stranger fade away, and come trembling out of their close places.

(47) The LORD liveth, and blessed be my Rock; and exalted be the God of my salvation;

(48) Even the God that executeth vengeance for me, and subdueth peoples under me.

(49) He delivereth me from mine enemies; yea, Thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me; Thou deliverest me from the violent man.

(50) Therefore I will give thanks unto Thee, O LORD, among the nations, and will sing praises unto Thy name.

(51) Great salvation giveth He to His king; and showeth mercy to His anointed, To David and to his seed, for evermore.

(1) For the Leader. A Psalm of David.

(2) The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament showeth His handiwork;

(3) Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night revealeth knowledge;

(4) There is no speech, there are no words, neither is their voice heard.

(5) Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath He set a tent for the sun,

(6) Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run his course.

(7) His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it; and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

(8) The law of the LORD is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. .

(9) The precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.

(10) The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever; the ordinances of the LORD are true, they are righteous altogether;

(11) More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

(12) Moreover by them is Thy servant warned; in keeping of them there is great reward.

(13) Who can discern his errors? Clear Thou me from hidden faults.

(14) Keep back Thy servant also from presumptuous sins, that they may not have dominion over me; then shall I be faultless, and I shall be clear from great transgression.

(15) Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable before Thee, O LORD, my Rock, and my Redeemer.

(8) Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; But we will make mention of the name of the LORD our God.

(9) They are bowed down and fallen; But we are risen, and stand upright.

(5) He asked life of Thee, Thou gavest it him; even length of days for ever and ever.

(6) His glory is great through Thy salvation; Honour and majesty dost Thou lay upon him.

(8) For the king trusteth in the LORD, yea, in the mercy of the Most High; he shall not be moved.

(10) Thou shalt make them as a fiery furnace in the time of thine anger; The LORD shall swallow them up in His wrath, and the fire shall devour them.

(11) Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.

(12) For they intended evil against thee, They imagined a device, wherewith they shall not prevail.

(13) For thou shalt make them turn their back, Thou shalt make ready with thy bowstrings against the face of them.

(1) For the Leader; upon Aijeleth ha-Shahar. A Psalm of David.

(2) My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me, and art far from my help at the words of my cry?

(3) O my God, I call by day, but Thou answerest not; and at night, and there is no surcease for me.

(4) Yet Thou art holy, O Thou that art enthroned upon the praises of Israel.

(5) In Thee did our fathers trust; they trusted, and Thou didst deliver them.

(6) Unto Thee they cried, and escaped; in Thee did they trust, and were not ashamed.

(7) But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.

(8) All they that see me laugh me to scorn; they shoot out the lip, they shake the head:

(9) 'Let him commit himself unto the LORD! let Him rescue him; let Him deliver him, seeing He delighteth in him.'

(10) For Thou art He that took me out of the womb; Thou madest me trust when I was upon my mother's breasts.

(11) Upon Thee I have been cast from my birth; Thou art my God from my mother's womb.

(12) Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.

(13) Many bulls have encompassed me; strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.

(14) They open wide their mouth against me, as a ravening and a roaring lion.

(15) I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint; my heart is become like wax; it is melted in mine inmost parts.

(16) My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my throat; and Thou layest me in the dust of death.

(17) For dogs have encompassed me; a company of evil-doers have inclosed me; like a lion, they are at my hands and my feet.

(18) I may count all my bones; they look and gloat over me.

(19) They part my garments among them, and for my vesture do they cast lots.

(20) But Thou, O LORD, be not far off; O Thou my strength, hasten to help me.

(21) Deliver my soul from the sword; mine only one from the power of the dog.

(22) Save me from the lion's mouth; yea, from the horns of the wild-oxen do Thou answer me.

(23) I will declare Thy name unto my brethren; in the midst of the congregation will I praise Thee.

(24) 'Ye that fear the LORD, praise Him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify Him; and stand in awe of Him, all ye the seed of Israel.

(25) For He hath not despised nor abhorred the lowliness of the poor; neither hath He hid His face from him; but when he cried unto Him, He heard.'

(26) From Thee cometh my praise in the great congregation; I will pay my vows before them that fear Him.

(27) Let the humble eat and be satisfied; let them praise the LORD that seek after Him; may your heart be quickened for ever!

(28) All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn unto the LORD; and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before Thee.

(29) For the kingdom is the LORD’S; and He is the ruler over the nations.

(30) All the fat ones of the earth shall eat and worship; all they that go down to the dust shall kneel before Him, even he that cannot keep his soul alive.

(31) A seed shall serve him; It shall be told of the Lord unto the next generation.

(32) They shall come and shall declare His righteousness Unto a people that shall be born, that He hath done it.

(4) Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me.

(5) Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; Thou hast anointed my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

(1) [A Psalm] of David. Unto Thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.

(2) O my God, in Thee have I trusted, let me not be ashamed; Let not mine enemies triumph over me.

(3) Yea, none that wait for Thee shall be ashamed; They shall be ashamed that deal treacherously without cause.

(4) Show me Thy ways, O LORD; teach me Thy paths.

(5) Guide me in Thy truth, and teach me; For Thou art the God of my salvation; For Thee do I wait all the day.

(6) Remember, O LORD, Thy compassions and Thy mercies; For they have been from of old.

(7) Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; According to Thy mercy remember Thou me, For Thy goodness' sake, O LORD.

(8) Good and upright is the LORD; Therefore doth He instruct sinners in the way.

(9) He guideth The humble in justice; And He teacheth the humble His way.

(10) All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth Unto such as keep His covenant and His testimonies.

(11) For Thy name's sake, O LORD, Pardon mine iniquity, for it is great.

(12) What man is he that feareth the LORD? Him will He instruct in the way that He should choose.

(13) His soul shall abide in prosperity; And his seed shall inherit the land.

(14) The counsel of the LORD is with them that fear Him; And His covenant, to make them know it.

(15) Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; For He will bring forth my feet out of the net.

(16) Turn Thee unto me, and be gracious unto me; For I am solitary and afflicted.

(17) The troubles of my heart are enlarged; O bring Thou me out of my distresses.

(18) See mine affliction and my travail; And forgive all my sins.

(19) Consider how many are mine enemies, And the cruel hatred wherewith they hate me. .

(20) O keep my soul, and deliver me; Let me not be ashamed, for I have taken refuge in Thee.

(21) Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, Because I wait for Thee.

(22) Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.

(4) I have not sat with men of falsehood; neither will I go in with dissemblers.

(5) I hate the gathering of evil doers, and will not sit with the wicked.

(7) That I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and tell of all Thy wondrous works.

(8) LORD, I love the habitation of Thy house, and the place where Thy glory dwelleth.

(9) Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with men of blood;

(1) [A Psalm] of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

(2) When evil-doers came upon me to eat up my flesh, Even mine adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.

(3) Though a host should encamp against me, My heart shall not fear; Though war should rise up against me, Even then will I be confident.

(4) One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after: That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, To behold the graciousness of the LORD, and to visit early in His temple.

(5) For He concealeth me in His pavilion in the day of evil; He hideth me in the covert of His tent; He lifteth me up upon a rock. .

(6) And now shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me; And I will offer in His tabernacle sacrifices with trumpet-sound; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.

(7) Hear, O LORD, when I call with my voice, And be gracious unto me, and answer me.

(8) In Thy behalf my heart hath said: ‘Seek ye My face'; Thy face, LORD, will I seek.

(9) Hide not Thy face far from me; Put not Thy servant away in anger; Thou hast been my help; Cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

(10) For though my father and my mother have forsaken me, The LORD will take me up.

(11) Teach me Thy way, O LORD; And lead me in an even path, Because of them that lie in wait for me.

(12) Deliver me not over unto the will of mine adversaries; For false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out violence.

(13) If I had not believed to look upon the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living!—

(14) Wait on the LORD; Be strong, and let thy heart take courage; Yea, wait thou for the LORD.

(3) Draw me not away with the wicked, And with the workers of iniquity; Who speak peace with their neighbours, But evil is in their hearts.

(4) Give them according to their deeds, and according to the evil of their endeavours; Give them after the work of their hands; Render to them their desert.

(5) Because they give no heed to the works of the LORD, Nor to the operation of His hands; He will break them down and not build them up.

(6) Blessed be the LORD, Because He hath heard the voice of my supplications.

(7) The LORD is my strength and my shield, In Him hath my heart trusted, And I am helped; Therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth, And with my song will I praise Him.

(8) The LORD is a strength unto them; And He is a stronghold of salvation to His anointed.

(9) Save Thy people, and bless Thine inheritance; And tend them, and carry them for ever.

(4) The voice of the LORD is powerful; The voice of the LORD is full of majesty.

(5) The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

(8) The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; The LORD shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.

(10) The LORD sat enthroned at the flood; Yea, the LORD sitteth as King for ever.

(2) I will extol thee, O LORD, for Thou hast raised me up, and hast not suffered mine enemies to rejoice over me.

(3) O LORD my God, I cried unto Thee, and Thou didst heal me;

(4) O LORD, Thou broughtest up my soul from the nether-world; Thou didst kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

(5) Sing praise unto the LORD, O ye His godly ones, and give thanks to His holy name.

(6) For His anger is but for a moment, His favour is for a life-time; weeping may tarry for the night, but joy cometh in the morning.

(7) Now I had said in my security: 'I shall never be moved.'

(8) Thou hadst established, O LORD, in Thy favour my mountain as a stronghold— Thou didst hide Thy face; I was affrighted.

(9) Unto Thee, O LORD, did I call, And unto the LORD I made supplication:

(10) 'What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise Thee? shall it declare Thy truth?

(11) Hear, O LORD, and be gracious unto me; LORD, be Thou my helper.'

(12) Thou didst turn for me my mourning into dancing; Thou didst loose my sackcloth, and gird me with gladness;

(13) So that my glory may sing praise to Thee, and not be silent; O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto Thee for ever.

(1) For the Leader. A Psalm of David.

(2) In thee, O LORD, have I taken refuge; let me never be ashamed; Deliver me in Thy righteousness.

(3) Incline Thine ear unto me, deliver me speedily; Be Thou to me a rock of refuge, even a fortress of defence, to save me.

(4) For Thou art my rock and my fortress; Therefore for Thy name's sake lead me and guide me.

(5) Bring me forth out of the net that they have hidden for me; For Thou art my stronghold.

(6) Into Thy hand I commit my spirit; Thou hast redeemed me, O LORD, Thou God of truth.

(7) I hate them that regard lying vanities; But I trust in the LORD.

(8) I will be glad and rejoice in Thy lovingkindness; For Thou hast seen mine affliction, Thou hast taken cognizance of the troubles of my soul,

(9) And Thou hast not given me over into the hand of the enemy; Thou hast set my feet in a broad place.

(10) Be gracious unto me, O LORD, for I am in distress; Mine eye wasteth away with vexation, yea, my soul and my body.

(11) For my life is spent in sorrow, and my years in sighing; My strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are wasted away.

(12) Because of all mine adversaries I am become a reproach, Yea, unto my neighbours exceedingly, and a dread to mine acquaintance; They that see me without flee from me.

(13) I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind; I am like a useless vessel.

(14) For I have heard the whispering of many, Terror on every side; While they took counsel together against me, They devised to take away my life.

(15) But as for me, I have trusted in Thee, O LORD; I have said: 'Thou art my God.'

(16) My times are in Thy hand; Deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.

(17) Make Thy face to shine upon Thy servant; Save me in Thy lovingkindness.

(18) O LORD, let me not be ashamed, for I have called upon Thee; Let the wicked be ashamed, let them be put to silence in the nether-world.

(19) Let the lying lips be dumb, Which speak arrogantly against the righteous, With pride and contempt.

(20) Oh how abundant is Thy goodness, which Thou hast laid up for them that fear Thee; Which Thou hast wrought for them that take their refuge in Thee, in the sight of the sons of men!

(21) Thou hidest them in the covert of Thy presence from the plottings of man; Thou concealest them in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.

(22) Blessed be the LORD; For He hath shown me His wondrous lovingkindness in an entrenched city.

(23) As for me, I said in my haste: 'I am cut off from before Thine eyes'; Nevertheless Thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto Thee.

(24) O love the LORD, all ye His godly ones; The LORD preserveth the faithful, And plentifully repayeth him that acteth haughtily.

(25) Be strong, and let your heart take courage, All ye that wait for the LORD.

(1) [A Psalm] of David. Maschil. Happy is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is pardoned.

(2) Happy is the man unto whom the LORD counteth not iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no guile.

(3) When I kept silence, my bones wore away Through my groaning all the day long.

(4) For day and night Thy hand was heavy upon me; My sap was turned as in the droughts of summer. Selah

(5) I acknowledged my sin unto Thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid; I said: 'I will make confession concerning my transgressions unto the LORD' — And Thou, Thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah

(6) For this let every one that is godly pray unto Thee in a time when Thou mayest be found; Surely, when the great waters overflow, they will not reach unto him.

(7) Thou art my hiding-place; Thou wilt preserve me from the adversary; With songs of deliverance Thou wilt compass me about. Selah

(8) 'I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go; I will give counsel, Mine eye being upon thee.'

(9) Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding; Whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, That they come not near unto thee.

(10) Many are the sorrows of the wicked; But he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy compasseth him about.

(11) Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous; And shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.

(1) Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous, Praise is comely for the upright.

(2) Give thanks unto the LORD with harp, Sing praises unto Him with the psaltery of ten strings.

(3) Sing unto Him a new song; Play skilfully amid shouts of joy.

(4) For the word of the LORD is upright; And all His work is done in faithfulness.

(5) He loveth righteousness and justice; The earth is full of the lovingkindness of the LORD.

(6) By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; And all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.

(7) He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap; He layeth up the deeps in storehouses.

(8) Let all the earth fear the LORD; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.

(9) For He spoke, and it was; He commanded, and it stood.

(10) The LORD bringeth the counsel of the nations to nought; He maketh the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.

(11) The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, The thoughts of His heart to all generations.

(12) Happy is the nation whose God is the LORD; The people whom He hath chosen for His own inheritance.

(13) The LORD looketh from heaven; He beholdeth all the sons of men;

(14) From the place of His habitation He looketh intently Upon all the inhabitants of the earth;

(15) He that fashioneth the hearts of them all, That considereth all their doings.

(16) A king is not saved by the multitude of a host; A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.

(17) A horse is a vain thing for safety; Neither doth it afford escape by its great strength.

(18) Behold, the eye of the LORD is toward them that fear Him, Toward them that wait for His mercy;

(19) To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine.

(20) Our soul hath waited for the LORD; He is our help and our shield.

(21) For in Him doth our heart rejoice, Because we have trusted in His holy name.

(22) Let Thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, According as we have waited for Thee.

(1) [A Psalm] of David; when he changed his demeanour before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.

(2) I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

(3) My soul shall glory in the LORD; The humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.

(4) O magnify the LORD with me, And let us exalt His name together.

(5) I sought the LORD, and He answered me, And delivered me from all my fears.

(6) They looked unto Him, and were radiant; And their faces shall never be abashed.

(7) This poor man cried, and the LORD heard, And saved him out of all his troubles.

(8) The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear Him, And delivereth them.

(9) O consider and see that the LORD is good; Happy is the man that taketh refuge in Him.

(10) O fear the LORD, ye His holy ones; For there is no want to them that fear Him.

(11) The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger; But they that seek the LORD want not any good thing.

(12) Come, ye children, hearken unto me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

(13) Who is the man that desireth life, and loveth days, That he may see good therein?

(14) Keep thy tongue from evil, And thy lips from speaking guile.

(15) Depart from evil, and do good; Seek peace, and pursue it.

(16) The eyes of the LORD are toward the righteous, And His ears are open unto their cry.

(17) The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

(18) They cried, and the LORD heard, And delivered them out of all their troubles.

(19) The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart, And saveth such as are of a contrite spirit.

(20) Many are the ills of the righteous, But the LORD delivereth him out of them all.

(21) He keepeth all his bones; Not one of them is broken.

(22) Evil shall kill the wicked; And they that hate the righteous shall be held guilty.

(23) The LORD redeemeth the soul of His servants; And none of them that take refuge in Him shall be desolate.

(1) [A Psalm] of David. Strive, O LORD, with them that strive with me; Fight against them that fight against me.

(2) Take hold of shield and buckler, And rise up to my help.

(3) Draw out also the spear, and the battle-axe, against them that pursue me; Say unto my soul: 'I am Thy salvation.'

(4) Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion that seek after my soul; Let them be turned back and be abashed that devise my hurt.

(5) Let them be as chaff before the wind, The angel of the LORD thrusting them.

(6) Let their way be dark and slippery, The angel of the LORD pursuing them.

(7) For without cause have they hid for me the pit, even their net, Without cause have they digged for my soul. .

(8) Let destruction come upon him unawares; And let his net that he hath hid catch himself; With destruction let him fall therein.

(9) And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD; It shall rejoice in His salvation.

(10) All my bones shall say: 'LORD, who is like unto Thee, Who deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, Yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?'

(11) Unrighteous witnesses rise up; They ask me of things that I know not.

(12) They repay me evil for good; Bereavement is come to my soul.

(13) But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth, I afflicted my soul with fasting; And my prayer, may it return into mine own bosom.

(14) I went about as though it had been my friend or my brother; I bowed down mournful, as one that mourneth for his mother.

(15) But when I halt they rejoice, and gather themselves together; The abjects gather themselves together against me, and those whom I know not; They tear me, and cease not;

(16) With the profanest mockeries of backbiting They gnash at me with their teeth.

(17) Lord, how long wilt Thou look on? Rescue my soul from their destructions, Mine only one from the lions.

(18) I will give Thee thanks in the great congregation; I will praise Thee among a numerous people.

(19) Let not them that are wrongfully mine enemies rejoice over me; Neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.

(20) For they speak not peace; But they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.

(21) Yea, they open their mouth wide against me; They say: 'Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.'

(22) Thou hast seen, O LORD; keep not silence; O Lord, be not far from me.

(23) Rouse Thee, and awake to my judgment, Even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.

(24) Judge me, O LORD my God, according to Thy righteousness; And let them not rejoice over me.

(25) Let them not say in their heart: 'Aha, we have our desire'; Let them not say: 'We have swallowed him up.'

(26) Let them be ashamed and abashed together that rejoice at my hurt; Let them be clothed with shame and confusion that magnify themselves against me. .

(27) Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that delight in my righteousness; Yea, let them say continually: 'Magnified be the LORD, Who delighteth in the peace of His servant.'

(28) And my tongue shall speak of Thy righteousness, And of Thy praise all the day.

(1) For the Leader. [A Psalm] of David the servant of the LORD.

(2) Transgression speaketh to the wicked, methinks— There is no fear of God before his eyes.

(3) For it flattereth him in his eyes, Until his iniquity be found, and he be hated.

(4) The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit; He hath left off to be wise, to do good.

(5) He deviseth iniquity upon his bed; He setteth himself in a way that is not good; He abhorreth not evil.

(6) Thy lovingkindness, O LORD, is in the heavens; Thy faithfulness reacheth unto the skies.

(7) Thy righteousness is like the mighty mountains; Thy judgments are like the great deep; Man and beast Thou preservest, O LORD.

(8) How precious is Thy lovingkindness, O God! And the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Thy wings.

(9) They are abundantly satisfied with the fatness of Thy house; And Thou makest them drink of the river of Thy pleasures.

(10) For with Thee is the fountain of life; In Thy light do we see light.

(11) O continue Thy lovingkindness unto them that know Thee; And Thy righteousness to the upright in heart.

(12) Let not the foot of pride overtake me, And let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.

(13) There are the workers of iniquity fallen; They are thrust down, and are not able to rise.

(1) [A Psalm] of David. Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, neither be thou envious against them that work unrighteousness.

(2) For they shall soon wither like the grass, and fade as the green herb.

(3) Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land, and cherish faithfulness.

(4) So shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and He shall give thee the petitions of thy heart.

(5) Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in Him, and He will bring it to pass.

(6) And He will make thy righteousness to go forth as the light, and thy right as the noonday.

(7) Resign thyself unto the LORD, and wait patiently for Him; fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

(8) Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; fret not thyself, it tendeth only to evil-doing.

(9) For evil-doers shall be cut off; but those that wait for the LORD, they shall inherit the land.

(10) And yet a little while, and the wicked is no more; yea, thou shalt look well at his place, and he is not.

(11) But the humble shall inherit the land, and delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

(12) The wicked plotteth against the righteous, and gnasheth at him with his teeth.

(13) The Lord doth laugh at him; for He seeth that his day is coming.

(14) The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow; to cast down the poor and needy, to slay such as are upright in the way;

(15) Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.

(16) Better is a little that the righteous hath than the abundance of many wicked.

(17) For the arms of the wicked shall be broken; but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.

(18) The LORD knoweth the days of them that are wholehearted; and their inheritance shall be for ever.

(19) They shall not be ashamed in the time of evil; and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

(20) For the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs— They shall pass away in smoke, they shall pass away.

(21) The wicked borroweth, and payeth not; but the righteous dealeth graciously, and giveth.

(22) For such as are blessed of Him shall inherit the land; and they that are cursed of Him shall be cut off.

(23) It is of the LORD that a man's goings are established; and He delighted in his way.

(24) Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the LORD upholdeth his hand.

(25) I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

(26) All the day long he dealeth graciously, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.

(27) Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.

(28) For the LORD loveth justice, And forsaketh not His saints; they are preserved for ever; but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

(29) The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.

(30) The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, and his tongue speaketh justice.

(31) The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps slide.

(32) The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.

(33) The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor suffer him to be condemned when he is judged.

(34) Wait for the LORD, and keep His way, and He will exalt thee to inherit the land; when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

(35) I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a leafy tree in its native soil.

(36) But one passed by, and, lo, he was not; yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.

(37) Mark the man of integrity, and behold the upright; for there is a future for the man of peace.

(38) But transgressors shall be destroyed together; the future of the wicked shall be cut off.

(39) But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD; He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.

(40) And the LORD helpeth them, and delivereth them; He delivereth them from the wicked, and saveth them, because they have taken refuge in Him.

(1) A Psalm of David, to make memorial.

(2) O LORD, rebuke me not in Thine anger; neither chasten me in Thy wrath.

(3) For Thine arrows are gone deep into me, and Thy hand is come down upon me.

(4) There is no soundness in my flesh because of Thine indignation; neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.

(5) For mine iniquities are gone over my head; as a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

(6) My wounds are noisome, they fester, because of my foolishness.

(7) I am bent and bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day.

(8) For my loins are filled with burning; and there is no soundness in my flesh.

(9) I am benumbed and sore crushed; I groan by reason of the moaning of my heart.

(10) Lord, all my desire is before Thee; and my sighing is not hid from Thee.

(11) My heart fluttereth, my strength faileth me; as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.

(12) My friends and my companions stand aloof from my plague; and my kinsmen stand afar off.

(13) They also that seek after my life lay snares for me; and they that seek my hurt speak crafty devices, and utter deceits all the day.

(14) But I am as a deaf man, I hear not; and I am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.

(15) Yea, I am become as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no arguments.

(16) For in Thee, O LORD, do I hope; Thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.

(17) For I said: 'Lest they rejoice over me; when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.'

(18) For I am ready to halt, and my pain is continually before me.

(19) For I do declare mine iniquity; I am full of care because of my sin.

(20) But mine enemies are strong in health; and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

(21) They also that repay evil for good are adversaries unto me, because I follow the thing that is good.

(22) Forsake me not, O LORD; O my God, be not far from me.

(23) Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation.

(1) For the Leader, for Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

(2) I said: 'I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue; I will keep a curb upon my mouth, while the wicked is before me.'

(3) I was dumb with silence; I held my peace, had no comfort; and my pain was held in check.

(4) My heart waxed hot within me; while I was musing, the fire kindled; Then spoke I with my tongue:

(5) 'LORD, make me to know mine end, And the measure of my days, what it is; Let me know how short-lived I am.

(6) Behold, Thou hast made my days as hand-breadths; and mine age is as nothing before Thee; surely every man at his best estate is altogether vanity. Selah

(7) Surely man walketh as a mere semblance; surely for vanity they are in turmoil; He heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.

(8) And now, Lord, what wait I for? My hope, it is in Thee.

(9) Deliver me from all my transgressions; make me not the reproach of the base.

(10) I am dumb, I open not my mouth; because Thou hast done it.

(11) Remove Thy stroke from off me; I am consumed by the blow of Thy hand.

(12) With rebukes dost Thou chasten man for iniquity, and like a moth Thou makest his beauty to consume away; surely every man is vanity. Selah

(13) Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; keep not silence at my tears; for I am a stranger with Thee, a sojourner, as all my fathers were.

(14) Look away from me, that I may take comfort, before I go hence, and be no more.'

(1) For the Leader. A Psalm of David.

(2) I waited patiently for the LORD; and He inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

(3) He brought me up also out of the tumultuous pit, out of the miry clay; and He set my feet upon a rock, He established my goings.

(4) And He hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God; many shall see, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.

(5) Happy is the man that hath made the LORD his trust, and hath not turned unto the arrogant, nor unto such as fall away treacherously.

(6) Many things hast Thou done, O LORD my God, even Thy wonderful works, and Thy thoughts toward us; there is none to be compared unto Thee! If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be told.

(7) Sacrifice and meal-offering Thou hast no delight in; mine ears hast Thou opened; burnt-offering and sin-offering hast Thou not required.

(8) Then said I: 'Lo, I am come with the roll of a book which is prescribed for me;

(9) I delight to do Thy will, O my God; yea, Thy law is in my inmost parts.'

(10) I have preached righteousness in the great congregation, Lo, I did not refrain my lips; O LORD, Thou knowest.

(11) I have not hid Thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared Thy faithfulness and Thy salvation; I have not concealed Thy mercy and Thy truth from the great congregation.

(12) Thou, O LORD, wilt not withhold Thy compassions from me; let Thy mercy and Thy truth continually preserve me.

(13) For innumerable evils have compassed me about, mine iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart hath failed me.

(14) Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me; O LORD, make haste to help me.

(15) Let them be ashamed and abashed together that seek after my soul to sweep it away; let them be turned backward and brought to confusion that delight in my hurt.

(16) Let them be appalled by reason of their shame that say unto me: 'Aha, aha.'

(17) Let all those that seek Thee rejoice and be glad in Thee; let such as love Thy salvation say continually: 'The LORD be magnified.'

(18) But, as for me, that am poor and needy, the Lord will account it unto me; Thou art my help and my deliverer; O my God, tarry not.

(1) For the Leader. A Psalm of David.

(2) Happy is he that considereth the poor; the LORD will deliver him in the day of evil.

(3) The LORD preserve him, and keep him alive, let him be called happy in the land; and deliver not Thou him unto the greed of his enemies.

(4) The LORD support him upon the bed of illness; mayest Thou turn all his lying down in his sickness.

(5) As for me, I said: 'O LORD, be gracious unto me; heal my soul; for I have sinned against Thee.'

(6) Mine enemies speak evil of me: 'When shall he die, and his name perish?'

(7) And if one come to see me, he speaketh falsehood; His heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he speaketh of it.

(8) All that hate me whisper together against me, against me do they devise my hurt:

(9) 'An evil thing cleaveth fast unto him; and now that he lieth, he shall rise up no more.'

(10) Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who did eat of my bread, Hath lifted up his heel against me.

(11) But Thou, O LORD, be gracious unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.

(12) By this I know that Thou delightest in me, that mine enemy doth not triumph over me.

(13) And as for me, Thou upholdest me because of mine integrity, and settest me before Thy face for ever.

(14) Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
