(1) For the Leader; Maschil of the sons of Korah.

(2) As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after Thee, O God.

(3) My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: 'When shall I come and appear before God?'

(4) My tears have been my food day and night, while they say unto me all the day: 'Where is Thy God?'

(5) These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me, how I passed on with the throng, and led them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping holyday.

(6) Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why moanest thou within me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise Him for the salvation of His countenance.

(7) O my God, my soul is cast down within me; therefore do I remember Thee from the land of Jordan, and the Hermons, from the hill Mizar.

(8) Deep calleth unto deep at the voice of Thy cataracts; all Thy waves and Thy billows are gone over me.

(9) By day the LORD will command His lovingkindness, and in the night His song shall be with me, even a prayer unto the God of my life.

(10) I will say unto God my Rock: 'Why hast Thou forgotten me? Why go I mourning under the oppression of the enemy?'

(11) As with a crushing in my bones, mine adversaries taunt me; while they say unto me all the day: 'Where is Thy God?'

(12) Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why moanest thou within me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise Him, the salvation of my countenance, and my God.

(1) Be Thou my judge, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation; O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.

(2) For Thou art the God of my strength; why hast Thou cast me off? Why go I mourning under the oppression of the enemy?

(3) O send out Thy light and Thy truth; let them lead me; Let them bring me unto Thy holy mountain, and to Thy dwelling-places.

(4) Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God, my exceeding joy; And praise Thee upon the harp, O God, my God.

(5) Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why moanest thou within me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise Him, The salvation of my countenance, and my God.

(1) For the Leader; [a Psalm] of the sons of Korah. Maschil.

(2) O God, we have heard with our ears, our fathers have told us; a work Thou didst in their days, in the days of old.

(3) Thou with Thy hand didst drive out the nations, and didst plant them in; Thou didst break the peoples, and didst spread them abroad.

(4) For not by their own sword did they get the land in possession, Neither did their own arm save them; but Thy right hand, and Thine arm, and the light of Thy countenance, because Thou wast favourable unto them.

(5) Thou art my King, O God; command the salvation of Jacob.

(6) Through Thee do we push down our adversaries; through Thy name do we tread them under that rise up against us.

(7) For I trust not in my bow, neither can my sword save me.

(8) But Thou hast saved us from our adversaries, and hast put them to shame that hate us.

(9) In God have we gloried all the day, and we will give thanks unto Thy name for ever. Selah

(10) Yet Thou hast cast off, and brought us to confusion; and goest not forth with our hosts.

(11) Thou makest us to turn back from the adversary; and they that hate us spoil at their will.

(12) Thou hast given us like sheep to be eaten; and hast scattered us among the nations.

(13) Thou sellest Thy people for small gain, and hast not set their prices high.

(14) Thou makest us a taunt to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.

(15) Thou makest us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.

(16) All the day is my confusion before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,

(17) For the voice of him that taunteth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and the revengeful.

(18) All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten Thee, neither have we been false to Thy covenant.

(19) Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from Thy path;

(20) Though Thou hast crushed us into a place of jackals, and covered us with the shadow of death.

(21) If we had forgotten the name of our God, or spread forth our hands to a strange god; .

(22) Would not God search this out? For He knoweth the secrets of the heart.

(23) Nay, but for Thy sake are we killed all the day; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

(24) Awake, why sleepest Thou, O Lord? Arouse Thyself, cast not off for ever.

(25) Wherefore hidest Thou Thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression?

(26) For our soul is bowed down to the dust; our belly cleaveth unto the earth.

(27) Arise for our help, and redeem us for Thy mercy's sake.

(1) For the Leader; upon Shoshannim; [a Psalm] of the sons of Korah. Maschil. A Song of loves.

(2) My heart overfloweth with a goodly matter; I say: 'My work is concerning a king'; My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

(3) Thou art fairer than the children of men; Grace is poured upon thy lips; Therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

(4) Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O mighty one, Thy glory and thy majesty.

(5) And in thy majesty prosper, ride on, In behalf of truth and meekness and righteousness; And let thy right hand teach thee tremendous things.

(6) Thine arrows are sharp— The peoples fall under thee— [They sink] into the heart of the king's enemies.

(7) Thy throne given of God is for ever and ever; A sceptre of equity is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

(8) Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness; Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee With the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

(9) Myrrh, and aloes, and cassia are all thy garments; Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee glad.

(10) Kings' daughters are among thy favourites; At thy right hand doth stand the queen in gold of Ophir.

(11) 'Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; Forget also thine own people, and thy father's house;

(12) So shall the king desire thy beauty; For he is thy lord; and do homage unto him. .

(13) And, O daughter of Tyre, the richest of the people Shall entreat thy favour with a gift.'

(14) All glorious is the king's daughter within the palace; Her raiment is of chequer work inwrought with gold.

(15) She shall be led unto the king on richly woven stuff; The virgins her companions in her train being brought unto thee.

(16) They shall be led with gladness and rejoicing; They shall enter into the king's palace.

(17) Instead of thy fathers shall be thy sons, Whom thou shalt make princes in all the land.

(18) I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations; Therefore shall the peoples praise thee for ever and ever.

(2) God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.

(3) Therefore will we not fear, though the earth do change, And though the mountains be moved into the heart of the seas;

(4) Though the waters thereof roar and foam, Though the mountains shake at the swelling thereof. Selah

(5) There is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God, The holiest dwelling-place of the Most High.

(6) God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God shall help her, at the approach of morning.

(7) Nations were in tumult, kingdoms were moved; He uttered His voice, the earth melted.

(8) The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our high tower. Selah

(9) Come, behold the works of the LORD, Who hath made desolations in the earth.

(10) He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; He breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; He burneth the chariots in the fire.

(11) 'Let be, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.'

(12) The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our high tower. Selah

(4) He subdueth peoples under us, and nations under our feet.

(5) He chooseth our inheritance for us, the pride of Jacob whom He loveth. Selah

(6) God is gone up amidst shouting, the LORD amidst the sound of the horn.

(7) Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises unto our King, sing praises.

(8) For God is the King of all the earth; sing ye praises in a skilful song.

(9) God reigneth over the nations; God sitteth upon His holy throne.

(10) The princes of the peoples are gathered together, the people of the God of Abraham; for unto God belong the shields of the earth; He is greatly exalted.

(2) Great is the LORD, and highly to be praised, In the city of our God, His holy mountain,

(3) Fair in situation, the joy of the whole earth; Even mount Zion, the uttermost parts of the north, The city of the great King.

(4) God in her palaces Hath made Himself known for a stronghold.

(5) For, lo, the kings assembled themselves, They came onward together.

(6) They saw, straightway they were amazed; They were affrighted, they hasted away.

(7) Trembling took hold of them there, Pangs, as of a woman in travail.

(8) With the east wind Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish.

(9) As we have heard, so have we seen In the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God— God establish it for ever. Selah

(10) We have thought on Thy lovingkindness, O God, In the midst of Thy temple.

(11) As is Thy name, O God, So is Thy praise unto the ends of the earth; Thy right hand is full of righteousness.

(12) Let mount Zion be glad, Let the daughters of Judah rejoice, Because of Thy judgments.

(13) Walk about Zion, and go round about her; Count the towers thereof.

(14) Mark ye well her ramparts, Traverse her palaces; That ye may tell it to the generation following. .

(15) For such is God, our God, for ever and ever; He will guide us eternally.

(1) For the Leader; a Psalm for the sons of Korah.

(2) Hear this, all ye peoples; Give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world,

(3) Both low and high, Rich and poor together.

(4) My mouth shall speak wisdom, and the meditation of my heart shall be understanding.

(5) I will incline mine ear to a parable; I will open my dark saying upon the harp.

(6) Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my supplanters compasseth me about,

(7) Of them that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches?

(8) No man can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him—

(9) For too costly is the redemption of their soul, and must be let alone for ever—

(10) That he should still live always, that he should not see the pit.

(11) For he seeth that wise men die, The fool and the brutish together perish, And leave their wealth to others.

(12) Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, And their dwelling-places to all generations; They call their lands after their own names.

(13) But man abideth not in honour; He is like the beasts that perish.

(14) This is the way of them that are foolish, and of those who after them approve their sayings. Selah

(15) Like sheep they are appointed for the nether-world; death shall be their shepherd; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; And their form shall be for the nether-world to wear away, That there be no habitation for it.

(16) But God will redeem my soul from the power of the nether-world; For He shall receive me. Selah

(17) Be not thou afraid when one waxeth rich, When the wealth of his house is increased;

(18) For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away; His wealth shall not descend after him.

(19) Though while he lived he blessed his soul: 'Men will praise thee, when thou shalt do well to thyself';

(20) It shall go to the generation of his fathers; They shall never see the light. .

(21) Man that is in honour understandeth not; He is like the beasts that perish.

(1) A Psalm of Asaph. God, God, the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth From the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.

(2) Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined forth.

(3) Our God cometh, and doth not keep silence; a fire devoureth before Him, And round about Him it stormeth mightily.

(4) He calleth to the heavens above, and to the earth, that He may judge His people:

(5) 'Gather My saints together unto Me; those that have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.'

(6) And the heavens declare His righteousness; for God, He is judge. Selah

(7) 'Hear, O My people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: God, thy God, am I.

(8) I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices; and thy burnt-offerings are continually before Me.

(9) I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he-goats out of thy folds.

(10) For every beast of the forest is Mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.

(11) I know all the fowls of the mountains; and the wild beasts of the field are Mine.

(12) If I were hungry, I would not tell thee; for the world is Mine, and the fulness thereof.

(13) Do I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?

(14) Offer unto God the sacrifice of thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the Most High;

(15) And call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee, and thou shalt honour Me.'

(16) But unto the wicked God saith: 'What hast thou to do to declare My statutes, And that thou hast taken My covenant in thy mouth?

(17) Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest My words behind thee.

(18) When thou sawest a thief, thou hadst company with him, and with adulterers was thy portion.

(19) Thou hast let loose thy mouth for evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit. .

(20) Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; Thou slanderest thine own mother's son.

(21) These things hast thou done, and should I have kept silence? Thou hadst thought that I was altogether such a one as thyself; but I will reprove thee, and set the cause before thine eyes.

(22) Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear in pieces, and there be none to deliver.

(23) Whoso offereth the sacrifice of thanksgiving honoureth Me; and to him that ordereth his way aright Will I show the salvation of God.'

(4) Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin.

(5) For I know my transgressions; And my sin is ever before me.

(6) Against Thee, Thee only, have I sinned, And done that which is evil in Thy sight; That Thou mayest be justified when Thou speakest, And be in the right when Thou judgest.

(7) Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.

(8) Behold, Thou desirest truth in the inward parts; make me, therefore, to know wisdom in mine inmost heart.

(9) Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

(10) Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which Thou hast crushed may rejoice.

(11) Hide Thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

(12) Create me a clean heart, O God; and renew a stedfast spirit within me.

(13) Cast me not away from Thy presence; and take not Thy holy spirit from me.

(14) Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation; and let a willing spirit uphold me.

(15) Then will I teach transgressors Thy ways; and sinners shall return unto Thee. .

(16) Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, Thou God of my salvation; so shall my tongue sing aloud of Thy righteousness.

(17) O Lord, open Thou my lips; and my mouth shall declare Thy praise.

(18) For Thou delightest not in sacrifice, else would I give it; Thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering.

(19) The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise.

(20) Do good in Thy favour unto Zion; build Thou the walls of Jerusalem.

(21) Then wilt Thou delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt-offering and whole offering; Then will they offer bullocks upon Thine altar.

(3) Why boastest thou thyself of evil, O mighty man? The mercy of God endureth continually.

(4) Thy tongue deviseth destruction; Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

(5) Thou lovest evil more than good; Falsehood rather than speaking righteousness. Selah

(6) Thou lovest all devouring words, The deceitful tongue.

(7) God will likewise break thee for ever, He will take thee up, and pluck thee out of thy tent, And root thee out of the land of the living. Selah

(8) The righteous also shall see, and fear, And shall laugh at him:

(9) 'Lo, this is the man that made not God his stronghold; But trusted in the abundance of his riches, And strengthened himself in his wickedness.'

(10) But as for me, I am like a leafy olive-tree in the house of God; I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.

(11) I will give Thee thanks for ever, because Thou hast done it; And I will wait for Thy name, for it is good, in the presence of Thy saints.

(2) The fool hath said in his heart: 'There is no God'; They have dealt corruptly, and have done abominable iniquity; There is none that doeth good.

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

(4) Every one of them is unclean, they are together become impure; There is none that doeth good, no, not one.

(5) ’Shall not the workers of iniquity know it, Who eat up My people as they eat bread, And call not upon God?'

(6) There are they in great fear, where no fear was; For God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee; Thou hast put them to shame, because God hath rejected them.

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

(6) Behold, God is my helper; The Lord is for me as the upholder of my soul.

(7) He will requite the evil unto them that lie in wait for me; Destroy Thou them in Thy truth.

(8) With a freewill-offering will I sacrifice unto Thee; I will give thanks unto Thy name, O LORD, for it is good.

(9) For He hath delivered me out of all trouble; And mine eye hath gazed upon mine enemies.

(2) Give ear, O God, to my prayer; And hide not Thyself from my supplication.

(3) Attend unto me, and hear me; I am distraught in my complaint, and will moan;

(4) Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked; For they cast mischief upon me, and in anger they persecute me.

(5) My heart doth writhe within me; and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.

(6) Fear and trembling come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.

(7) And I said: 'Oh that I had wings like a dove! Then would I fly away, and be at rest.

(8) Lo, then would I wander far off, I would lodge in the wilderness. Selah

(9) I would haste me to a shelter from the stormy wind and tempest.'

(10) Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongue; For I have seen violence and strife in the city.

(11) Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof; iniquity also and mischief are in the midst of it.

(12) Wickedness is in the midst thereof; oppression and guile depart not from her broad place.

(13) For it was not an enemy that taunted me, Then I could have borne it; Neither was it mine adversary that did magnify himself against me, Then I would have hid myself from him.

(14) But it was thou, a man mine equal, My companion, and my familiar friend;

(15) We took sweet counsel together, In the house of God we walked with the throng.

(16) May He incite death against them, Let them go down alive into the nether-world; For evil is in their dwelling, and within them.

(17) As for me, I will call upon God; And the LORD shall save me.

(18) Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I complain, and moan; And He hath heard my voice.

(19) He hath redeemed my soul in peace so that none came nigh me; For they were many that strove with me.

(20) God shall hear, and humble them, even He that is enthroned of old, Selah, such as have no changes, and fear not God.

(21) He hath put forth his hands against them that were at peace with him; He hath profaned his covenant.

(22) Smoother than cream were the speeches of his mouth, But his heart was war; His words were softer than oil, Yet were they keen-edged swords.

(23) Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and He will sustain thee; He will never suffer the righteous to be moved.

(24) But Thou, O God, wilt bring them down into the nethermost pit; Men of blood and deceit shall not live out half their days; But as for me, I will trust in Thee.

(3) They that lie in wait for me would swallow me up all the day; For they are many that fight against me, O Most High,

(4) In the day that I am afraid, I will put my trust in Thee.

(5) In God—I will praise His word— In God do I trust, I will not be afraid; What can flesh do unto me?

(6) All the day they trouble mine affairs; All their thoughts are against me for evil.

(7) They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, They mark my steps; According as they have waited for my soul.

(8) Because of iniquity cast them out; In anger bring down the peoples, O God.

(9) Thou has counted my wanderings; Put Thou my tears into Thy bottle; Are they not in Thy book?

(10) Then shall mine enemies turn back in the day that I call; This I know, that God is for me.

(11) In God—I will praise His word— In the LORD—I will praise His word—

(12) In God do I trust, I will not be afraid; What can man do unto me?

(13) Thy vows are upon me, O God; I will render thank-offerings unto Thee.

(14) For thou hast delivered my soul from death; Hast Thou not delivered my feet from stumbling? That I may walk before God in the light of the living?

(7) They have prepared a net for my steps, My soul is bowed down; They have digged a pit before me, They are fallen into the midst thereof themselves. Selah

(8) My heart is stedfast, O God, my heart is stedfast; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises.

(9) Awake, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp; I will awake the dawn.

(10) I will give thanks unto Thee, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises unto Thee among the nations.

(3) Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; Ye weigh out in the earth the violence of your hands.

(4) The wicked are estranged from the womb; The speakers of lies go astray as soon as they are born.

(5) Their venom is like the venom of a serpent; They are like the deaf asp that stoppeth her ear;

(6) Which hearkeneth not to the voice of charmers, Or of the most cunning binder of spells.

(7) Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth; Break out the cheek-teeth of the young lions, O LORD.

(8) Let them melt away as water that runneth apace; When he aimeth his arrows, let them be as though they were cut off.

(9) Let them be as a snail which melteth and passeth away; Like the untimely births of a woman, that have not seen the sun.

(10) Before your pots can feel the thorns, He will sweep it away with a whirlwind, the raw and the burning alike.

(11) The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance; He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.

(4) For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul; the impudent gather themselves together against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD.

(5) Without my fault, they run and prepare themselves; awake Thou to help me, and behold.

(6) Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, arouse Thyself to punish all the nations; show no mercy to any iniquitous traitors. Selah

(7) They return at evening, they howl like a dog, and go round about the city.

(8) Behold, they belch out with their mouth; swords are in their lips: 'For who doth hear?'

(9) But Thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; Thou shalt have all the nations in derision.

(10) Because of his strength, I will wait for Thee; for God is my high tower.

(11) The God of my mercy will come to meet me; God will let me gaze upon mine adversaries.

(12) Slay them not, lest my people forget, make them wander to and fro by Thy power, and bring them down, O Lord our shield.

(13) For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips, let them even be taken in their pride, and for cursing and lying which they speak.

(14) Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they be no more; and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob, unto the ends of the earth. Selah

(15) And they return at evening, they howl like a dog, and go round about the city;

(16) They wander up and down to devour, and tarry all night if they have not their fill.

(4) Thou hast made the land to shake, Thou hast cleft it; Heal the breaches thereof; for it tottereth.

(5) Thou hast made Thy people to see hard things; Thou hast made us to drink the wine of staggering.

(7) That Thy beloved may be delivered, Save with Thy right hand, and answer me.

(8) God spoke in His holiness, that I would exult; That I would divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

(9) Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre.

(10) Moab is my washpot; Upon Edom do I cast my shoe; Philistia, cry aloud because of me!

(11) Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me unto Edom?

(12) Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.

(10) Men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie; If they be laid in the balances, they are together lighter than vanity.

(11) Trust not in oppression, And put not vain hope in robbery; If riches increase, set not your heart thereon.

(1) A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.

(2) O God, Thou art my God, earnestly will I seek Thee; My soul thirsteth for Thee, my flesh longeth for Thee, In a dry and weary land, where no water is.

(3) So have I looked for Thee in the sanctuary, To see Thy power and Thy glory. .

(4) For Thy lovingkindness is better than life; My lips shall praise Thee.

(5) So will I bless Thee as long as I live; In Thy name will I lift up my hands.

(6) My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness; And my mouth doth praise Thee with joyful lips;

(7) When I remember Thee upon my couch, And meditate on Thee in the night-watches.

(8) For Thou hast been my help, And in the shadow of Thy wings do I rejoice.

(9) My soul cleaveth unto Thee; Thy right hand holdeth me fast.

(10) But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, Shall go into the nethermost parts of the earth.

(11) They shall be hurled to the power of the sword; They shall be a portion for foxes.

(12) But the king shall rejoice in God; Every one that sweareth by Him shall glory; For the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.

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

(2) Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; preserve my life from the terror of the enemy.

(3) Hide me from the council of evil-doers; from the tumult of the workers of iniquity;

(4) Who have whet their tongue like a sword, and have aimed their arrow, a poisoned word;

(5) That they may shoot in secret places at the blameless; suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

(6) They encourage one another in an evil matter; they converse of laying snares secretly; they ask, who would see them.

(7) They search out iniquities, they have accomplished a diligent search; even in the inward thought of every one, and the deep heart.

(8) But God doth shoot at them with an arrow suddenly; thence are their wounds.

(9) So they make their own tongue a stumbling unto themselves; all that see them shake the head.

(10) And all men fear; and they declare the work of God, and understand His doing.

(11) The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall take refuge in Him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.

(3) O Thou that hearest prayer, unto Thee doth all flesh come.

(4) The tale of iniquities is too heavy for me; as for our transgressions, Thou wilt pardon them.

(5) Happy is the man whom Thou choosest, and bringest near, that he may dwell in Thy courts; may we be satisfied with the goodness of Thy house, the holy place of Thy temple!

(6) With wondrous works dost Thou answer us in righteousness, O God of our salvation; Thou the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of the far distant seas;

(7) Who by Thy strength settest fast the mountains, who art girded about with might;

(8) Who stillest the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the tumult of the peoples;

(9) So that they that dwell in the uttermost parts stand in awe of Thy signs; Thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.

(10) Thou hast remembered the earth, and watered her, greatly enriching her, with the river of God that is full of water; Thou preparest them corn, for so preparest Thou her.

(11) Watering her ridges abundantly, settling down the furrows thereof, Thou makest her soft with showers; Thou blessest the growth thereof.

(12) Thou crownest the year with Thy goodness; and Thy paths drop fatness.

(13) The pastures of the wilderness do drop; and the hills are girded with joy.

(14) The meadows are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, yea, they sing.

(1) For the Leader. A Song, a Psalm. Shout unto God, all the earth;

(2) Sing praises unto the glory of His name; Make His praise glorious.

(3) Say unto God: 'How tremendous is Thy work! Through the greatness of Thy power shall Thine enemies dwindle away before Thee.

(4) All the earth shall worship Thee, And shall sing praises unto Thee; They shall sing praises to Thy name.' Selah

(5) Come, and see the works of God; He is terrible in His doing toward the children of men.

(6) He turned the sea into dry land; They went through the river on foot; There let us rejoice in Him!

(7) Who ruleth by His might for ever; His eyes keep watch upon the nations; Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah

(8) Bless our God, ye peoples, And make the voice of His praise to be heard;

(9) Who hath set our soul in life, And suffered not our foot to be moved,

(10) For Thou, O God, hast tried us; Thou hast refined us, as silver is refined.

(11) Thou didst bring us into the hold; Thou didst lay constraint upon our loins.

(12) Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water; But Thou didst bring us out unto abundance.

(13) I will come into Thy house with burnt-offerings, I will perform unto Thee my vows,

(14) Which my lips have uttered, And my mouth hath spoken, when I was in distress.

(15) I will offer unto Thee burnt-offerings of fatlings, With the sweet smoke of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah

(16) Come, and hearken, all ye that fear God, And I will declare what He hath done for my soul.

(17) I cried unto Him with my mouth, And He was extolled with my tongue.

(18) If I had regarded iniquity in my heart, The Lord would not hear;

(19) But verily God hath heard; He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

(20) Blessed be God, Who hath not turned away my prayer, nor His mercy from me.

(1) For the Leader. A Psalm of David, a Song.

(2) Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered; And let them that hate Him flee before Him.

(3) As smoke is driven away, so drive them away; As wax melteth before the fire, So let the wicked perish at the presence of God.

(4) But let the righteous be glad, let them exult before God; Yea, let them rejoice with gladness.

(5) Sing unto God, sing praises to His name; Extol Him that rideth upon the skies, whose name is the LORD; And exult ye before Him.

(6) A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, Is God in His holy habitation.

(7) God maketh the solitary to dwell in a house; He bringeth out the prisoners into prosperity; The rebellious dwell but in a parched land.

(8) O God, when Thou wentest forth before Thy people, When Thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah

(9) The earth trembled, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God; Even yon Sinai trembled at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

(10) A bounteous rain didst Thou pour down, O God; When Thine inheritance was weary, Thou didst confirm it.

(11) Thy flock settled therein; Thou didst prepare in Thy goodness for the poor, O God.

(12) The Lord giveth the word; The women that proclaim the tidings are a great host.

(13) Kings of armies flee, they flee; And she that tarrieth at home divideth the spoil.

(14) When ye lie among the sheepfolds, The wings of the dove are covered with silver, And her pinions with the shimmer of gold. .

(15) When the Almighty scattereth kings therein, It snoweth in Zalmon.

(16) A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan; A mountain of peaks is the mountain of Bashan.

(17) Why look ye askance, ye mountains of peaks, At the mountain which God hath desired for His abode? Yea, the LORD will dwell therein for ever.

(18) The chariots of God are myriads, even thousands upon thousands; The Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in holiness.

(19) Thou hast ascended on high, Thou hast led captivity captive; Thou hast received gifts among men, Yea, among the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell there.

(20) Blessed be the Lord, day by day He beareth our burden, Even the God who is our salvation. Selah

(21) God is unto us a God of deliverances; And unto GOD the Lord belong the issues of death.

(22) Surely God will smite through the head of His enemies, The hairy scalp of him that goeth about in his guiltiness.

(23) The Lord said: 'I will bring back from Bashan, I will bring them back from the depths of the sea;

(24) That thy foot may wade through blood, That the tongue of thy dogs may have its portion from thine enemies.'

(25) They see Thy goings, O God, Even the goings of my God, my King, in holiness.

(26) The singers go before, the minstrels follow after, In the midst of damsels playing upon timbrels.

(27) 'Bless ye God in full assemblies, Even the Lord, ye that are from the fountain of Israel.'

(28) There is Benjamin, the youngest, ruling them, The princes of Judah their council, The princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali.

(29) Thy God hath commanded thy strength; Be strong, O God, Thou that hast wrought for us

(30) Out of Thy temple at Jerusalem, Whither kings shall bring presents unto Thee.

(31) Rebuke the wild beast of the reeds, The multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the peoples, Every one submitting himself with pieces of silver; He hath scattered the peoples that delight in war!

(32) Nobles shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall hasten to stretch out her hands unto God.

(33) Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah

(34) To Him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which are of old; Lo, He uttereth His voice, a mighty voice.

(35) Ascribe ye strength unto God; His majesty is over Israel, And His strength is in the skies.

(36) Awful is God out of thy holy places; The God of Israel, He giveth strength and power unto the people; Blessed be God.

(2) Save me, O God; For the waters are come in even unto the soul.

(3) I am sunk in deep mire, where there is no standing; I am come into deep waters, and the flood overwhelmeth me.

(4) I am weary of my crying; my throat is dried; Mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.

(5) They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head; They that would cut me off, being mine enemies wrongfully, are many; Should I restore that which I took not away?

(6) O God, Thou knowest my folly; And my trespasses are not hid from Thee.

(7) Let not them that wait for Thee be ashamed through me, O Lord GOD of hosts; Let not those that seek Thee be brought to confusion through me, O God of Israel.

(8) Because for Thy sake I have borne reproach; Confusion hath covered my face.

(9) I am become a stranger unto my brethren, And an alien unto my mother's children.

(10) Because zeal for Thy house hath eaten me up, And the reproaches of them that reproach Thee are fallen upon me.

(11) And I wept with my soul with fasting, And that became unto me a reproach.

(12) I made sackcloth also my garment, And I became a byword unto them.

(13) They that sit in the gate talk of me; And I am the song of the drunkards. .

(14) But as for me, let my prayer be unto Thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time; O God, in the abundance of Thy mercy, Answer me with the truth of Thy salvation.

(15) Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink; Let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.

(16) Let not the waterflood overwhelm me, Neither let the deep swallow me up; And let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.

(17) Answer me, O LORD, for Thy mercy is good; According to the multitude of Thy compassions turn Thou unto me.

(18) And hide not Thy face from Thy servant; For I am in distress; answer me speedily.

(19) Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it; Ransom me because of mine enemies.

(20) Thou knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my confusion; Mine adversaries are all before Thee.

(21) Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am sore sick; And I looked for some to show compassion, but there was none; And for comforters, but I found none.

(22) Yea, they put poison into my food; And in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

(23) Let their table before them become a snare; And when they are in peace, let it become a trap.

(24) Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; And make their loins continually to totter.

(25) Pour out Thine indignation upon them, And let the fierceness of Thine anger overtake them.

(26) Let their encampment be desolate; Let none dwell in their tents.

(27) For they persecute him whom Thou hast smitten; And they tell of the pain of those whom Thou hast wounded.

(28) Add iniquity unto their iniquity; And let them not come into Thy righteousness.

(29) Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, And not be written with the righteous.

(30) But I am afflicted and in pain; Let Thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.

(31) I will praise the name of God with a song, And will magnify Him with thanksgiving. .

(32) And it shall please the LORD better than a bullock That hath horns and hoofs.

(33) The humble shall see it, and be glad; Ye that seek after God, let your heart revive.

(34) For the LORD hearkeneth unto the needy, And despiseth not His prisoners.

(35) Let heaven and earth praise Him, The seas, and every thing that moveth therein.

(36) For God will save Zion, and build the cities of Judah; And they shall abide there, and have it in possession.

(37) The seed also of His servants shall inherit it; And they that love His name shall dwell therein.

(1) In Thee, O LORD, have I taken refuge; Let me never be ashamed.

(2) Deliver me in Thy righteousness, and rescue me; Incline Thine ear unto me, and save me.

(3) Be Thou to me a sheltering rock, whereunto I may continually resort, Which Thou hast appointed to save me; For Thou art my rock and my fortress.

(4) O my God, rescue me out of the hand of the wicked, Out of the grasp of the unrighteous and ruthless man.

(5) For Thou art my hope; O Lord GOD, my trust from my youth.

(6) Upon Thee have I stayed myself from birth; Thou art he that took me out of my mother's womb; My praise is continually of Thee.

(7) I am as a wonder unto many; But Thou art my strong refuge.

(8) My mouth shall be filled with Thy praise, And with Thy glory all the day. .

(9) Cast me not off in the time of old age; When my strength faileth, forsake me not.

(10) For mine enemies speak concerning me, And they that watch for my soul take counsel together,

(11) Saying: 'God hath forsaken him; Pursue and take him; for there is none to deliver.'

(12) O God, be not far from me; O my God, make haste to help me.

(13) Let them be ashamed and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; Let them be covered with reproach and confusion that seek my hurt.

(14) But as for me, I will hope continually, And will praise Thee yet more and more.

(15) My mouth shall tell of Thy righteousness, And of Thy salvation all the day; For I know not the numbers thereof.

(16) I will come with Thy mighty acts, O Lord GOD; I will make mention of Thy righteousness, even of Thine only.

(17) O God, Thou hast taught me from my youth; And until now do I declare Thy wondrous works.

(18) And even unto old age and hoary hairs, O God, forsake me not; Until I have declared Thy strength unto the next generation, Thy might to every one that is to come.

(19) Thy righteousness also, O God, which reacheth unto high heaven; Thou who hast done great things, O God, who is like unto Thee?

(20) Thou, who hast made me to see many and sore troubles, Wilt quicken me again, and bring me up again from the depths of the earth.

(21) Thou wilt increase my greatness, And turn and comfort me.

(22) I also will give thanks unto Thee with the psaltery, Even unto Thy truth, O my God; I will sing praises unto Thee with the harp, O Thou Holy One of Israel.

(23) My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing praises unto Thee; And my soul, which Thou hast redeemed.

(24) My tongue also shall tell of Thy righteousness all the day; For they are ashamed, for they are abashed, that seek my hurt.

(1) [A Psalm] of Solomon. Give the king Thy judgments, O God, and Thy righteousness unto the king's son;

(2) That he may judge Thy people with righteousness, and Thy poor with justice.

(3) Let the mountains bear peace to the people, and the hills, through righteousness.

(4) May he judge the poor of the people, and save the children of the needy, And crush the oppressor.

(5) They shall fear Thee while the sun endureth, and so long as the moon, throughout all generations.

(6) May he come down like rain upon the mown grass, as showers that water the earth.

(7) In his days let the righteous flourish, and abundance of peace, till the moon be no more.

(8) May he have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the River unto the ends of the earth.

(9) Let them that dwell in the wilderness bow before him; and his enemies lick the dust.

(10) The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall render tribute; the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.

(11) Yea, all kings shall prostrate themselves before him; All nations shall serve him.

(12) For he will deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.

(13) He will have pity on the poor and needy, And the souls of the needy he will save.

(14) He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence, And precious will their blood be in his sight.

(15) That they may live, and that he may give them of the gold of Sheba, That they may pray for him continually, Yea, bless him all the day.

(16) May he be as a rich cornfield in the land upon the top of the mountains; May his fruit rustle like Lebanon; And may they blossom out of the city like grass of the earth.

(17) May his name endure for ever; May his name be continued as long as the sun; May men also bless themselves by him; May all nations call him happy.

(18) Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, Who only doeth wondrous things;

(19) And blessed be His glorious name for ever; And let the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen, and Amen.

(20) The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
