His ways will be in pain in all time; thy judgments high from before him: all his enemies he will puff at them.

There have they been in great dread, because, God, is in the circle of the righteous man.

Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.

Let perfectness and righteous dealing wait upon me, for my hope hath been in thee.

I have hated them that hold of superstitious vanities, and my trust hath been in the LORD.

But my hope hath been in thee, O LORD; I have said, "Thou art my God."

I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.

Young I have been, I have also become old, And I have not seen the righteous forsaken, And his seed seeking bread.

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

I was dumb with silence, I kept silent from good, and my pain is excited.

I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me.

There have they been in great dread where no dread was, Because, God, hath scattered the bones of thy besieger, - Thou hast put him to shame, Because, God, had, rejected, them.

Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.

His den has been in Salem, his lair in Zion.

Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.

From Jehovah hath this been, It is wonderful in our eyes,

Their heart is as fat as brawn, but my delight hath been in thy law.

It is good for me that I have been in trouble, that I may learn thy statutes.

Your worshippers will see me and be glad; because my hope has been in your word.

Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction.

Lord, my hope has been in your salvation; and I have kept your teachings.

{A Song of degrees of David.} If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

And see if the way of pain is in me, and guide me in the eternal way.
