Multiplied are their griefs, Who have hastened backward; I pour not out their libations of blood, Nor do I take up their names on my lips.

The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.

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

You have tried my heart;
You have visited me in the night;
You have tested me and You find nothing [evil in me];
I intend that my mouth will not transgress.

Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.

My steps have held fast to thy paths, My feet have not slipped.

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

From the face of lawless ones who have treated me with violence, the foes of my soul, who come round against me:

Their fat they have closed up, Their mouths have spoken with pride:

They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;

From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.

They have children at their desire, and leave the rest of their substance for their babes. But as for me, I shall behold thy presence in righteousness: and when I awake up after thy likeness, I shall be satisfied with it.

Yahweh [is] my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock in whom I have taken refuge, my shield and the horn of my deliverance, my stronghold.

Compassed me have cords of death, And streams of the worthless make me afraid.

Cords of Sheol have surrounded me, Before me have been snares of death.

Gone up hath smoke by His nostrils, And fire from His mouth consumeth, Coals have been kindled by it.

From the brightness over-against Him His thick clouds have passed on, Hail and coals of fire.

He delivereth me from my strong enemy, And from those hating me, For they have been stronger than I.

For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

because all his ordinances [are] before me, and his statutes I have not removed from me,

On him who has mercy you will have mercy; to the upright you will be upright;

For you deliver oppressed people, but you bring down those who have a proud look.

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

You have also given me the shield of Your salvation,
And Your right hand upholds and sustains me;
Your gentleness [Your gracious response when I pray] makes me great.

Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, And my feet have not slipped.

I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.

I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.

For You have encircled me with strength for the battle;
You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.

You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me [in defeat],
And I silenced and destroyed those who hated me.

Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.

Strangers have faded away, and they come trembling forth from their close places.

He makes me free from my haters; I am lifted up over those who come up against me: you have made me free from the violent man.

The fear of Jehovah is clean, standing to the age, The judgments of Jehovah are true, They have been righteous -- together.

Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.

Now I have known That Jehovah hath saved His anointed, He answereth him from His holy heavens, With the saving might of His right hand.

They -- they have bowed and have fallen, And we have risen and station ourselves upright.

You have given him his heart’s desire,
And You have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah.

He asked you to sustain his life, and you have granted him long life and an enduring dynasty.

His honor [is] great because of your help. Splendor and majesty you have bestowed upon him.

For you have made him a blessing for ever: you have given him joy in the light of your face.

Though they have {plotted} evil against you, [though] they have planned a scheme, they will not prevail.

My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?
Why are You so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning?

O my God, I call by day and you do not answer, and [by] night but I have no rest.

"He trusted in the LORD, that he would deliver him; let him deliver him, if he will have him."

On Thee I have been cast from the womb, From the belly of my mother Thou art my God.

Do not remain far away from me, for trouble is near and I have no one to help me.

Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.

They have opened against me their mouth, A lion tearing and roaring.

As waters I have been poured out, And separated themselves have all my bones, My heart hath been like wax, It is melted in the midst of my bowels.

My strength is dried up like a fragment of clay pottery;
And my [dry] tongue clings to my jaws;
And You have laid me in the dust of death.

For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

Save me from the lion’s mouth;
From the horns of the wild oxen You answer me.

You who have fear of the Lord, give him praise; all you seed of Jacob, give him glory; go in fear of him, all you seed of Israel.

The poor will have a feast of good things: those who make search for the Lord will give him praise: your heart will have life for ever.

And the fat ones of earth have eaten, And they bow themselves, Before Him bow do all going down to dust, And he who hath not revived his soul.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You have anointed my head with oil;
My cup overflows.

O my God, in thee have I trusted, Let me not be put to shame; Let not mine enemies triumph over me.

Cause me to tread in Thy truth, and teach me, For Thou art the God of my salvation, Near Thee I have waited all the day.

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

Because of your name, O Lord, let me have forgiveness for my sin, which is very great.

His soul will be full of good things, and his seed will have the earth for its heritage.

The secret [of the wise counsel] of the Lord is for those who fear Him,
And He will let them know His covenant and reveal to them [through His word] its [deep, inner] meaning.

Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.

The distresses of my heart have enlarged themselves, From my distresses bring me out.

See my enemies, for they have been many, And with violent hatred they have hated me.

O keep my soul, and take me out of danger: let me not be shamed, for I have put my faith in you.

Integrity and uprightness do keep me, For I have waited on Thee.

{A Psalm of David.} Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.

For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.

I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.

I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.

That I may give out the voice of praise, and make public all the wonders which you have done.

LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.

But as for me, I will go on in my upright ways: be my saviour, and have mercy on me.

I have a safe resting-place for my feet; I will give praise to the Lord in the meetings of the people.

When evil doers come near to me to eat my flesh, My adversaries and mine enemies to me, They have stumbled and fallen.

Even if an army came against me with its tents, my heart would have no fear: if war was made on me, my faith would not be moved.

One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in his temple.

Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

When You said, “Seek My face [in prayer, require My presence as your greatest need],” my heart said to You,
“Your face, O Lord, I will seek [on the authority of Your word].”

Do not hide Your face from me,
Do not turn Your servant away in anger;
You have been my help;
Do not abandon me nor leave me,
O God of my salvation!

When my father and my mother Have forsaken me, then doth Jehovah gather me.

Give me not to the will of my adversaries, For risen against me have false witnesses, And they breathe out violence to me.

I would have despaired had I not believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord
In the land of the living.

By David. Unto Thee, O Jehovah, I call, My rock, be not silent to me! Lest Thou be silent to me, And I have been compared With those going down to the pit.

Repay them according to what they have done—
according to the evil of their deeds.
Repay them according to the work of their hands;
give them back what they deserve.

Because they have no respect for the works of the Lord, or for the things which his hands have made, they will be broken down and not lifted up by him.

Jehovah is my strength, and my shield, In Him my heart trusted, and I have been helped. And my heart exulteth, And with my song I thank Him.

I will extol and praise You, O Lord, for You have lifted me up,
And have not let my enemies rejoice over me.

Jehovah my God, I have cried to Thee, And Thou dost heal me.

O Lord, You have brought my life up from Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead);
You have kept me alive, so that I would not go down to the pit (grave).

And I -- I have said in mine ease, 'I am not moved -- to the age.

O Jehovah, in Thy good pleasure, Thou hast caused strength to remain for my mountain,' Thou hast hidden Thy face -- I have been troubled.

Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.

You have turned my mourning into dancing for me;
You have taken off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,

To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. In Thee, O Jehovah, I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed to the age, In Thy righteousness deliver me.

Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength.

Into Your hand I commit my spirit;
You have redeemed me, O Lord, the God of truth and faithfulness.

I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD.

I will rejoice and be glad in Your steadfast love,
Because You have seen my affliction;
You have taken note of my life’s distresses,
