Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

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

But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.

I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.

Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.

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

I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.

Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.

Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.

But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.

So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.

Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.

He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.

For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right.

Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.

But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.

The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.

And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.

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

For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.

For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.

For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.

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