As for the ungodly, it is not so with them: but they are like the chaff, which the wind scattereth away from the face of the earth.

{Shiggaion of David, which he sang for the words of Cush the son of Benjamin} O LORD my God, in thee have I put my trust; save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me,

For I will consider thy heavens, even the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars which thou hast ordained.

O thou enemy, thy destructions are come to a perpetual end; even as the cities which thou hast destroyed, their memorial is perished with them.

O praise the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion; show the people of his doings.

Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider the trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death.

The Heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made; in the same net which they hid privily, is their own foot taken.

Break thou the power of the ungodly and malicious; search out the wickedness which he hath done, that he may perish.

For lo, the ungodly bend their bow, and make ready their arrows within the quiver, that they may privily shoot at them which are true of heart.

Which have said, "With our tongue will we prevail; we are they that ought to speak; Who is lord over us?"

The words of the LORD are pure words: even as the silver, which from the earth is tried, and purified seven times in the fire.

Even he that leadeth an uncorrupt life, and doeth the thing which is right, and speaketh the truth from his heart.

Show thy marvelous loving-kindness, thou that art the Saviour of them which put their trust in thee, from such as resist thy righthand.

From the men of thy hand, O LORD, from the men, I say, and from the evil world, which have their portion in this life, whose bellies thou fillest with thy hid treasure.

{To the Chanter, of David, servant of the Lord, which said unto the Lord the words of this song, on the day in which the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul, and said} I will love thee, O Lord, my strength.

3 I will call upon the LORD, which is worthy to be praised; so shall I be safe from mine enemies. {TYNDALE: I will praise and call on the LORD, and so shall be saved from mine enemies.}

He shall deliver me from my strongest enemy, and from them which hate me; for they are too mighty for me. {TYNDALE: He delivered me from my mighty enemy, and from them that hated me and were too strong for me.}

Thou shalt deliver me from the strivings of the people, and thou shalt make me the head of the Heathen. A people whom I have not known shall serve me. {TYNDALE: And thou deliveredst me from the dissension of my people, and keepest me to be a head over nations, for the people which I knew not became my servants.}

which cometh forth as a bridegroom out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a giant to run his course.

Call to remembrance, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy loving-kindnesses, which have been ever of old.

One thing have I desired of the LORD, which I will require, even that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the fair beauty of the LORD, and to visit his temple.

O pluck me not away, neither destroy me with the ungodly and wicked doers, which speak friendly to their neighbours, but imagine mischief in their hearts.

Let the lying lips be put to silence, which cruelly, disdainfully, and despitefully speak against the righteous.

O how plentiful is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee, and that thou hast prepared for them that put their trust in thee, even before the sons of men!

Be ye not like to horse and mule, which have no understanding, whose mouths must be held with bit and bridle, if they will not obey thee.

{Of David, when he changed his speech before Abimelech; which drove him away, and he departed} I will always give thanks unto the LORD; his praise shall ever be in my mouth.

For they have privily laid their net to destroy me without a cause; yea, and made a pit for my soul, which I never deserved.

LORD, how long wilt thou look upon this? O deliver my soul from the calamities which they bring on me, and my darling from the lions.

Let them be glad and rejoice, that favour my righteous dealing; yea, let them say always, "Blessed be the LORD, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant."

O LORD my God, great are the wondrous works which thou hast done, like as be also thy thoughts, which are to us-ward; and yet there is no man that ordereth them unto thee. If I should declare them, and speak of them, they should be more than I am able to express.

Why art thou so vexed, O my soul, and why art thou so disquieted within me? O put thy trust in God; for I will yet thank him, which is the help of my countenance, and my God.

Why art thou so heavy, O my soul, and why art thou so disquieted within me? O put thy trust in God, for I will yet give him thanks, which is the help of my countenance, and my God.

Thou makest us to turn our backs upon our enemies, so that they which hate us spoil our goods.

{To the Chanter, upon Shoshannim, an instruction of the children of Korah; a song of love} My heart is inditing of a good matter; I speak the things which I have made unto the King. My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

Oh let me hear of joy and gladness, that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

For strangers are risen up against me; and tyrants, which have not God before their eyes, seek after my soul. Selah.

{To the chanter, upon the domme stock dove, which flyeth far off: Michtam of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath} Be merciful unto me, O God, for men will tread me down: they are daily fighting and troubling me.

I will call unto the Most High God, even unto the God that shall perform the cause which I have in hand.

Consume them in thy wrath; consume them that they may perish, and know that it is God which ruleth in Jacob and in all the world. Selah.

O come hither and behold the works of God; which is so wonderful in his doings among the children of men.

which I promised with my lips, and spake with my mouth, when I was in trouble.

Praised be God, which hath not cast out my prayer, nor turned his mercy from me.

Why hop ye so, ye high hills? This is God's hill, in the which it pleaseth him to dwell. Yea, the LORD will abide in it forever.

Praised be the LORD daily, even the God which helpeth us, and poureth his benefits upon us. Selah.

His name shall endure forever; his name shall remain under the sun among the posterities, which shall be blessed in him. And all the heathen shall praise him.

Blessed be the LORD God, even the God of Israel, which only doeth wondrous things.

Lift up thy feet, that thou mayest utterly destroy every enemy which hath done evil in thy sanctuary.

Which taketh away the breath of princes, and is wonderful among the kings of the earth.

I will open my mouth in similitudes, and will speak forth things which have been kept secret from the beginning of the world;

which we have heard and known, and such as our fathers have told us,

He made a covenant with Jacob, and gave Israel a law, which he commanded our forefathers to teach their children,

that their posterity might know it, and the children which were yet unborn, to the intent that when they came up, they might show their children the same;

Like as the children of Ephraim, which being harnessed and carrying bows, turned themselves back in the time of battle:

He carried them unto the borders of his Sanctuary: even to this mountain, which he purchased with his righthand.

but chose the tribe of Judah, even the hill of Zion which he loved.

Why hast thou then broken down her hedge, that all they which go by, pluck off her grapes?

I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt; open thy mouth wide, and I shall fill it.

Show some token upon me for good, that they which hate me may see it and be ashamed; because thou, LORD, hast helped me, and comforted me.

free among the dead, like unto them that lie in the grave, which be out of remembrance, and are cut away from thy hand.

LORD, where are thy old loving-kindnesses, which thou sworest unto David in thy truth?

Wilt thou have anything to do with the stool of wickedness, which imagineth mischief as a law?

O ye that love the LORD, see that ye hate the thing which is evil. The LORD preserveth the souls of his saints; he shall deliver them from the hand of the ungodly.

This shall be written for those that come after, that the people which shall be born may praise the LORD.

Then are the hills seen aloft, and the valleys beneath - in their place which thou hast appointed for them.

Thou hast set them their bounds, which they may not pass, that they turn not again to cover the earth.

The trees of the LORD also are full of sap, even the cedars of Lebanon which he hath planted,

But he had sent a man before them, even Joseph which was sold to be a bond servant,

For why? He remembered his holy promise which he had made to Abraham his servant.

They forgot God their Savior, which had done so great things in Egypt,

insomuch that they worshipped their idols, which turned to their own decay.

which turneth floods into dry land, and drieth up the watersprings!

Shalt not thou do it, O God which hast cast us out? And wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?

which humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven and earth?

Which taketh up the simple out of the dust, and lifteth the poor out of the mire,

Which maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise the everlasting! Hallelujah!

which turned the hard rock into a standing water, and the flint stone into a springing well.

For ye are the blessed of the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

The same stone which the builders refused, is become the headstone in the corner.

This is the day which the LORD hath made! Let us rejoice and be glad in it!

which walk in his ways, and do no wickedness.

My delight shall be in thy commandments, which I love.

My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I love; and my study shall be in thy statutes.

The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law.

Great is the peace that they have which love thy law, and they are not offended at it.

My help cometh even from the LORD which hath made heaven and earth.

But praised be the LORD, which hath not given us over for a prey unto their teeth.

Our help standeth in the name of the LORD, which hath made heaven and earth.

{A song of the stairs} They that put their trust in the LORD are even as the mount Zion, which may not be removed, but standeth fast forever.

Let them be even as the hay upon the housetops, which withereth afore it be grown up;

So that they which go by, say not so much as, "the LORD prosper you, we wish you good luck in the name of the LORD."

{A song of the stairs} LORD, I am not high-minded; I have no proud looks. I do not exercise myself in great matters which are too high for me.

Like the dew of Hermon, which fell upon the hill of Zion. For there the LORD promised his blessing, and life forevermore.

Praised be the LORD out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise the everlasting! Hallelujah!

Which only doeth great wonders! For his mercy endureth forever.

Which by his wisdom made the heavens! For his mercy endureth forever.

Which laid out the earth above the waters! For his mercy endureth forever.

Which hath made great lights! For his mercy endureth forever.

Which smote Egypt with their firstborn! For his mercy endureth forever.

Which divided the reed sea into parts! For his mercy endureth forever.

Which smote great kings! For his mercy endureth forever.
