Arise, O Jehovah; save me, my God, for thou didst strike all mine enemies upon the cheek; thou didst break the teeth of the unjust.

To the overseer upon the stringed instruments; chanting of David. In my calling, answer me, O God of my justice: in straits thou didst enlarge me; compassionate me and hear my prayer.

Arise, O Jehovah, in thine anger, lift up thyself for the wrath of mine enemies: and awake to me the judgment thou didst command.

For I see Thy heavens, a work of Thy fingers, Moon and stars that Thou didst establish.

And thou wilt give him dominion over the works of thy hands; thou didst put all under his feet:

For thou didst my judgment and my cause; thou satest upon the throne judging justice.

Thou didst rebuke the nations, thou didst destroy the unjust one, wiping off their name forever and ever.

O enemy! desolations were wholly finished, and thou didst tear down cities; their remembrance perished with them.

And they knowing thy name will trust in thee, for thou didst not forsake those seeking thee, O Jehovah.

Jehovah the portion of my part and of my cup: thou didst hold up my lot.

Thou didst try my heart; thou didst review the night; thou didst refine me, thou wilt find nothing: I purposed, my mouth shall not pass by.

With the loving, thou didst show thyself loving, - With the blameless man, thou didst show thyself blameless;

With the pure, thou didst show thyself pure, But, with the perverse, thou didst show thyself ready to contend.

For, as for thee, an oppressed people, thou didst save, but, looks that were lofty, layedst thou low;

For, thou, didst light up my lamp, Yahweh my God, enlightened my darkness;

And thou didst give me the shield of thy salvation, and thy right hand held me up; and thy condescending gentleness hath made me great.

Thou didst enlarge my steps under me, and mine ankles have not wavered.

And thou girdedst me with strength to battle; thou didst subdue under me those that rose up against me.

And mine enemies didst thou make to turn their backs unto me, and those that hated me I destroyed.

Thus didst thou rescue me from the contentions of a people, - didst appoint me to be the head of nations, A people I had not known, served me:

The desire of his heart thou gavest to him, and the longing of his lips thou didst not withhold. Silence.

Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.

But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.

Save me from the mouth of the lion: and thou didst answer me from the horns of the high.

For he does not despise nor detest the afflicted person; he does not hide his face from him, but he hears him when he cries out to him."

Chanting a song of consecration of the house of David. I will exalt thee, O Jehovah, for thou didst draw me out, and thou didst not gladden mine enemies to me.

O Jehovah, thou broughtest up my soul from hades: thou didst save me alive from those going down to the pit

LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.

Thou didst turn my wailing to dancing to me: thou didst loose my sackcloth, and thou wilt gird me with gladness;

Into thy hand I will commit my spirit: thou didst redeem me, O Jehovah God of truth.

And thou didst not shut me up in the hand of the enemy: thou didst cause my feet to stand in a broad place.

How much thy goodness which thou didst conceal for them fearing thee; thou didst work for those putting their trust in thee before the sons of man.

But, I, had said in mine alarm, I am cut off from before thine eyes, - But, indeed, thou didst hear the voice of my supplication, when I cried for help unto thee.

My sin, would I own unto thee, and, mine iniquity, not hide, I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Yahweh, And, thou, didst forgive the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

Yet a little, and no unjust one thou didst mark upon his place, and he was not

I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it.

With corrections for iniquity thou didst correct man, and thou wilt melt down as a moth his beauty: surely every man is vanity. Silence.

Many the wonders thou didst, O Jehovah my God, and thy purposes to us: none shall set in order to thee: I will announce and speak, they were numerous above number.

Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.

By this I knew that thou didst delight in me, for mine enemy will not shout over me.

And I, in mine integrity thou didst support me, and thou wilt set me before thy face forever.

I will say to God my rock, Wherefore didst thou forget me? wherefore darkened shall I go for the oppression of the enemy?

For thou the God of my strength: why didst thou reject me? wherefore darkened shall I go about for the oppression of the enemy?

{To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, Maschil.} We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.

How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out.

For by their sword they possessed not the land, and their arm saved them not: for thy right hand and thine arm, and the light of thy face, for thou didst delight in them.

For thou savedst us from our enemies, and those hating us thou didst make ashamed.

But thou didst reject, and thou wilt shame us, and not go forth with our armies.

Thou wilt give us as sheep for food, and thou didst scatter us among the nations.

Thou wilt sell thy people without riches, and thou didst not increase by their price.

For thou didst crush us in the place of jackals, and thou wilt cover over us with the shadow of death.

When thou sawest a thief, thou didst take pleasure in him, and thy portion was with adulterers;

These thou didst, and I kept silent, Thou hast thought that I am like thee, I reprove thee, and set in array before thine eyes.

Behold, thou didst delight in truth in the reins, and in bidden things thou wilt cause me to know wisdom.

Thou wilt cause me to hear joy and gladness; the bones thou didst break shall rejoice.

I will praise thee to times age-abiding, Because thou didst effectually work, - And I will wait on thy Name, Because it is good, In the presence of thy men of lovingkindness.

They feared a fear; there was no fear: for God scattered the bones of him making narrow: thou didst make ashamed, for God rejected them.

Thou didst recount my wanderings: set thou my tears in thy bottle: are they not in thy book?

To the overseer upon the lily of song: poem to David to teach; In the setting on fire Aram of the two rivers, and Aram of the station; and Joab will turn back and strike Edom in the valley of salt, twelve thousand. O God, thou didst cast us off, thou didst break us down, thou wert angry; wilt thou turn back to us?

Thou didst shake the earth; thou didst rend it: heal its breakings, for it is depressed.

Thou didst cause thy people to see a hard thing: thou didst give us to drink the wine of reeling.

Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies?

For thou didst prove us, O God, Thou didst refine us, according to the refining of silver:

Thou broughtest us into a net, thou didst lay a heavy burden upon our loins;

Thou didst cause men to ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water; But thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.

O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah:

Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.

Thy congregation dwelt therein: Thou, O God, didst prepare of thy goodness for the poor.

Thou didst go up to height, thou didst take captive captivity: thou didst receive gifts in man, also those turning away, for Jehovah God to dwell.

Thy God commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, this thou didst for us.

For whom thou didst strike they pursued; and they will relate to the pain of thy wounded.

Be thou to me for a rock of refuge to come always: thou didst command to save me, for thou my rock and my fortress.

On thee have I been stayed from the womb; from the bowels of my mother thou didst draw me forth: my praise shall be continually of thee.

O God, thou didst teach me from my youth: and even to this will I announce thy wonders.

And thy justice, O God, even to height, who didst great things: O God, who like thee?

O what great troubles and adversities hast thou showed me! And yet didst thou turn and refresh me; yea, and broughtest me from the deep of the earth again.

Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction.

And I always with thee: thou didst hold by my right hand.

For behold, they being far off from thee shall perish: thou didst lay waste all committing fornication from thee.

Understanding to Asaph. Wherefore, O God, didst thou reject forever? will thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy feeding?

Remember Thy company. Thou didst purchase of old, Thou didst redeem the rod of Thy inheritance, This mount Zion -- Thou didst dwell in it.

Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.

Thou didst break in pieces the heads of leviathan, thou gavest him to be meat to those that people the desert.

Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst up mighty rivers.

Thine, is the day, Yea, thine, the night, Thou, didst establish moon and sun;

Thou hast set all the borders of the earth; summer and winter thou didst form them.

Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,

Thou didst hold mine eyes watching: I was moved, and I will not speak.

Thou the God doing wonder: thou didst make known thy strength among the peoples.

Thou didst redeem, with thine arm - Thy people, Thy sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.

Thou didst lead, like a flock, thy people, By the hand of Moses and Aaron.

O Jehovah, God of armies, how long didst thou smoke against the prayer of thy people?

Thou broughtest a vine out of Egypt: Thou didst drive out the nations, and plantedst it.

Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.

Wherefore didst thou break down her walls, and all passing by the way plucked her?

Yea the stock which thy right hand planted, Even upon the son thou didst secure for thyself.

Let thy hand be, Upon the Man of thy right hand, Upon the Son of Man thou didst secure for thyself;

In distress, thou didst cry, and I delivered thee, - I answered thee, within a hiding-place of thunder, I proved thee by the waters of Meribah. Selah.

To the overseer: to the sons of Korah a chanting. O Jehovah, thou didst delight in thy land: thou didst turn back the captivity of Jacob.

Thou didst lift up the iniquity of thy people, thou didst cover all their sin. Silence.
