Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful.

But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law does he meditate day and night.

Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

Be wise now therefore, O you kings: be instructed, you judges of the earth.

Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

Many there be who say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.

Salvation belongs unto the LORD: your blessing is upon your people. Selah.

But know that the LORD has set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.

There are many that say, Who will show us any good? LORD, lift up the light of your countenance upon us.

But as for me, I will come into your house in the multitude of your mercy: and in your fear will I worship toward your holy temple.

For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is pure wickedness; their throat is an open sepulcher; they flatter with their tongue.

My soul is also greatly troubled: but you, O LORD, how long?

For in death there is no remembrance of you: in the grave who shall give you thanks?

My eye is consumed because of grief; it grows old because of all my enemies.

Lest they tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is my enemy:)

The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to my integrity that is in me.

My defense is with God, who saves the upright in heart.

God judges the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.

[To the Chief Musician upon gittith. A Psalm of David.] O LORD our Lord, how excellent is your name in all the earth! who have set your glory above the heavens.

What is man, that you are mindful of him? and the son of man, that you visit him?

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

O you enemy, destructions are come to an everlasting end: and you have destroyed cities; their memory is perished with them.

The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.

The LORD is known by the judgment which he executes: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.

The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in any of his thoughts.

His ways are always prosperous; your judgments are far above, out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he sneers at them.

His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.

He lies in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lies in wait to catch the poor: he does catch the poor, when he draws him into his net.

The LORD is King forever and ever: the nations are perished out of his land.

[To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.] In the LORD put I my trust: how say you to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?

The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD'S throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids test, the children of men.

Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?

The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tested in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

[To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.] The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that does good.

They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that does good, no, not one.

Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.

There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.

You have shamed the counsel of the poor, but the LORD is his refuge.

In whose eyes a vile person is despised; but he honors them that fear the LORD. He that swears to his own hurt, and changes not.

But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the noble, in whom is all my delight.

The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: you maintain my lot.

I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices: my flesh also shall rest in hope.

You will show me the path of life: in your presence is fullness of joy; at your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.

Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of your wings,

They have now surrounded us in our steps: they have set their eyes, crouching down to the earth;

Like as a lion that is greedy of its prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.

From men by your hand, O LORD, from men of the world, who have their portion in this life, and whose belly you fill with your hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.

As for me, I will behold your face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with your likeness.

The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from my enemies.

As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is proven: he is a shield to all those that trust in him.

For who is God except the LORD? or who is a rock except our God?

It is God that girds me with strength, and makes my way perfect.

He teaches my hands to make war, so that a bow of bronze is bent by my arms.

Then did I beat them as fine as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.

As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the foreigners shall submit themselves unto me.

It is God that avenges me, and subdues the people under me.

There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.

Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them has he set a tabernacle for the sun,

Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoices as a strong man to run a race.

Its going forth is from the end of the heaven, and its circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.

The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.

Moreover by them is your servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.

Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.

His glory is great in your salvation: honor and majesty have you laid upon him.

You shall make them as a fiery oven in the time of your anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.

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

They gaped on me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.

I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my body.

My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue clings to my jaws; and you have brought me to the dust of death.

For the kingdom is the LORD'S: and he is the governor among the nations.

[A Psalm of David.] The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not lack.

[A Psalm of David.] The earth is the LORD'S, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek your face, O Jacob. Selah.

Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.

Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.

Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.

All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

For your name's sake, O LORD, pardon my iniquity; for it is great.

What man is he that fears the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.

The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will show them his covenant.

For your lovingkindness is before my eyes: and I have walked in your truth.

In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.

But as for me, I will walk in my integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.

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

Deliver me not over unto the will of my enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.

The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoices; and with my song will I praise him.

The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed.

The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thunders: the LORD is upon many waters.

The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty.

The LORD sits upon the flood; yea, the LORD sits as King forever.

For his anger endures but for a moment; in his favor is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? shall it declare your truth?

Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: my eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my body.

For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength fails because of my iniquity, and my bones are consumed.
