Against thee, thee only, I have sinned, and done that which is evil in thy sight, that thou may be justified when thou speak, and {may prevail (LXX/NT)} when thou {are criticized (LXX/NT)}.

Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not thy holy Spirit from me.

For thou delight not in sacrifice, else I would give it. Thou have no pleasure in burnt-offering.

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. A broken and contrite heart, O God, thou will not despise.

Lo, this is the man who did not make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.

Every one of them has gone back. They have together become filthy. There is none who does good, no, not one.

Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people [as] they eat bread, and call not upon God?

For strangers are risen up against me, and violent men have sought after my soul. They have not set God before them. Selah.

Give ear to my prayer, O God, and hide not thyself from my supplication.

Day and night they go about it, upon the walls of it. Iniquity and mischief also are in the midst of it.

Wickedness is in the midst of it. Oppression and deceit depart not from its streets.

For it was not an enemy who reproached me. Then I could have borne it. Neither was it he who hated me that magnified himself against me. Then I would have hid myself from him.

God will hear, and respond to them, (even he who abides of old), Selah, [men] who have no changes, and who fear not God.

But thou, O God, will bring them down into the pit of destruction. Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days, but I will trust in thee.

In God I will praise his word. In God I have put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?

Thou number my wanderings. Put thou my tears into thy bottle. Are they not in thy book?

In God I have put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

They have prepared a net for my steps. My soul is bowed down. They have dug a pit before me. They are fallen into the midst of it themselves. Selah.

which hearkens not to the voice of charmers, charming ever so wisely.

as a snail which melts and passes away, [as] the untimely birth of a woman, that has not seen the sun.

For, lo, they lay in wait for my soul. The mighty gather themselves together against me, not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD.

Even thou, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, arise to visit all the nations. Be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah.

Kill them not, lest my people forget. Scatter them by thy power, and bring them down, O LORD our shield,

They shall wander up and down for food, and tarry all night if they be not satisfied.

Have not thou, O God, cast us off? And thou go not forth, O God, with our armies.

He only is my rock and my salvation, my high tower. I shall not be greatly moved.

He only is my rock and my salvation, my high tower. I shall not be moved.

Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery. If riches increase, set not your heart [on it].

when I remember thee upon my bed, [and] meditate on thee in the night-watches.

that they may shoot in secret places at a blameless man. Suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

He rules by his might forever. His eyes observe the nations. Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.

who holds our soul in life, and does not allow our feet to be moved.

Thou brought us into the net. Thou laid a great burden upon our loins.

If I regard iniquity in my heart, LORD will not hear.

Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor his loving kindness from me.

Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head. Those who would cut me off, being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty. That which I took not away I have to restore.

O God, thou know my foolishness, and my sins are not hid from thee.

Let not those who wait for thee be put to shame through me, O lord LORD of hosts. Let not those who seek thee be brought to dishonor through me, O God of Israel.

Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink. Let me be delivered from those who hate me, and out of the deep waters.

Let not the water flood overwhelm me, nor let the deep shallow me up. And let not the pit shut its mouth upon me.

and hide not thy face from thy servant, for I am in distress. Answer me speedily.

Let their table before them become a snare, and when they are in peace, a trap, {and for a stumbling block, and for a retribution to them (LXX/NT)}.

Let their eyes be darkened, so that they cannot see, and {bow down their back (LXX/NT)} continually.

Add iniquity to their iniquity, and let them not come into thy righteousness.

Let them be blotted out of the book of life, and not be written with the righteous.

For LORD hears the needy, and does not despise his prisoners.

But I am poor and needy. Make haste to me, O God. Thou are my help and my deliverer, O LORD. Delay thou not.

Cast me not off in the time of old age. Forsake me not when my strength fails.

O God, be not far from me. O my God, make haste to help me.

My mouth shall tell of thy righteousness, of thy salvation all the day, for I know not the numbers.

Yea, even when I am old and gray headed, O God, forsake me not, until I have declared thy strength to a generation, thy might to everyone who is to come.

They are not in trouble as [other] men, nor are they plagued like [other] men.

We do not see our signs. There is no more any prophet, nor is there among us he who knows how long.

The day is thine; the night is also thine. Thou have prepared the light and the sun.

O deliver not the soul of thy turtle-dove to the wild beast. Forget not the life of thy poor forever.

O let not he who is oppressed return ashamed. Let a poor and needy man praise thy name.

Forget not the voice of thine adversaries. The tumult of those who rise up against thee ascends continually.

I said to the arrogant, Deal not arrogantly, and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn.

Lift not up your horn on high. Speak not with a stiff neck.

In the day of my trouble I sought LORD. My hand was stretched out in the night, and slacked not. My soul refused to be comforted.

I call to remembrance my song in the night. I commune with my own heart, and my spirit makes diligent search.

Thy way was in the sea, and thy paths in the great waters. And thy footsteps were not known.

I will open my mouth in parable{s (LXX/NT)}. I will utter dark sayings of old,

We will not hide them from their sons, telling to the generation to come the praises of LORD, and his strength, and his wondrous works that he has done.

that they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments,

and might not be as their fathers: a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not steadfast with God.

They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law.

In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.

because they did not believe in God, and did not trust in his salvation.

They were not estranged from that which they desired. Their food was yet in their mouths

For all this they still sinned, and did not believe in his wondrous works.

For their heart was not right with him, nor were they faithful in his covenant.

But he, being merciful, forgave iniquity, and destroyed not. Yea, many a time he turned his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.

And he remembered that they were but flesh, a wind that passes away, and comes not again.

They did not remember his hand, nor the day when he redeemed them from the adversary,

and turned their rivers into blood, and their streams, so that they could not drink.

He made a path for his anger. He spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence,

And he led them safely, so that they feared not, but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

Yet they challenged and rebelled against the Most High God, and kept not his testimonies,

Moreover he refused the tent of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim,

Pour out thy wrath upon the nations that do not know thee, and upon the kingdoms that do not call upon thy name.

Do not remember against us the iniquities of our forefathers. Let thy tender mercies speedily meet us, for we are brought very low.

so shall we not go back from thee. Revive thou us, and we will call upon thy name.

He appointed it in Joseph for a testimony when he went out over the land of Egypt, [where] I heard a language that I knew not.

But my people hearkened not to my voice, and Israel would none of me.

They know not, nor do they understand. They walk to and fro in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

O God, keep thou not silence. Hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.

Will thou not revive us again, that thy people may rejoice in thee?

I will hear what God, LORD, will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, and to his sanctified. But let them not turn again to folly.

O God, the proud have risen up against me, and a company of violent men have sought after my soul, and have not set thee before them.

O LORD, the God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee.

The enemy shall not exact from him, nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

If his sons forsake my law, and walk not in my ordinances,

if they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments,

but my loving kindness I will not utterly take from him, nor allow my faithfulness to fail.

I will not break my covenant, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

I have sworn once by my holiness; I will not lie to David.

Yea, thou turn back the edge of his sword, and have not made him to stand in the battle.

What man is he who shall live and not see death, who shall deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah.

For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
