448

Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices;
My flesh also will dwell securely.

449

For the choir director. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.
Hear this, all peoples;
Give ear, all inhabitants of the world,

453

Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord, O my soul!

454

I am poured out like water,
And all my bones are out of joint;
My heart is like wax;
It is melted within me.

455

How sweet are Your words to my taste!
Yes, sweeter than honey to my mouth!

456

A Psalm; a Song at the Dedication of the House. A Psalm of David.
I will extol You, O Lord, for You have lifted me up,
And have not let my enemies rejoice over me.

457

For the choir director. A Psalm of David. A Song.
Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered,
And let those who hate Him flee before Him.

462

But the lovingkindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him,
And His righteousness to children’s children,

465

I will open my mouth in a parable;
I will utter dark sayings of old,

466

I will set no worthless thing before my eyes;
I hate the work of those who fall away;
It shall not fasten its grip on me.

467

You scrutinize my path and my lying down,
And are intimately acquainted with all my ways.

468

Let the redeemed of the Lord say so,
Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the adversary

469

A Psalm of Asaph.
O God, the nations have invaded Your inheritance;
They have defiled Your holy temple;
They have laid Jerusalem in ruins.

470

The righteous cry, and the Lord hears
And delivers them out of all their troubles.

471

They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb.

473

Tell of His glory among the nations,
His wonderful deeds among all the peoples.

475

Hear, O Lord, and be gracious to me;
O Lord, be my helper.”

476

Therefore the Lord has recompensed me according to my righteousness,
According to the cleanness of my hands in His eyes.

477

We will not conceal them from their children,
But tell to the generation to come the praises of the Lord,
And His strength and His wondrous works that He has done.

478

For You do not delight in sacrifice, otherwise I would give it;
You are not pleased with burnt offering.

479

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne;
Lovingkindness and truth go before You.

480

Our help is in the name of the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth.

482

For He established a testimony in Jacob
And appointed a law in Israel,
Which He commanded our fathers
That they should teach them to their children,

483

For the choir director. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.
O Lord, You showed favor to Your land;
You restored the captivity of Jacob.

484

How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God!
And the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings.

486

When I kept silent about my sin, my body wasted away
Through my groaning all day long.

487

He makes the winds His messengers,
Flaming fire His ministers.

492

Zayin.
Remember the word to Your servant,
In which You have made me hope.

494

It is good for me that I was afflicted,
That I may learn Your statutes.

495

Praise the Lord!
I will give thanks to the Lord with all my heart,
In the company of the upright and in the assembly.

496

May he also rule from sea to sea
And from the River to the ends of the earth.

497

For the choir director. A Maskil of the sons of Korah.
O God, we have heard with our ears,
Our fathers have told us
The work that You did in their days,
In the days of old.

498

He causes the grass to grow for the cattle,
And vegetation for the labor of man,
So that he may bring forth food from the earth,

499

May my prayer be counted as incense before You;
The lifting up of my hands as the evening offering.

500

All the prosperous of the earth will eat and worship,
All those who go down to the dust will bow before Him,
Even he who cannot keep his soul alive.

502

For you have made the Lord, my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place.

505

For evildoers will be cut off,
But those who wait for the Lord, they will inherit the land.

513

I was mute and silent,
I refrained even from good,
And my sorrow grew worse.

516

The Lord is righteous in all His ways
And kind in all His deeds.

518

A Psalm of David.
To You, O Lord, I call;
My rock, do not be deaf to me,
For if You are silent to me,
I will become like those who go down to the pit.

520

Let them shout for joy and rejoice, who favor my vindication;
And let them say continually, “The Lord be magnified,
Who delights in the prosperity of His servant.”

523

In whose eyes a reprobate is despised,
But who honors those who fear the Lord;
He swears to his own hurt and does not change;

524

O send out Your light and Your truth, let them lead me;
Let them bring me to Your holy hill
And to Your dwelling places.

525

What shall I render to the Lord
For all His benefits toward me?

526

A Psalm of David.
Vindicate me, O Lord, for I have walked in my integrity,
And I have trusted in the Lord without wavering.

527

Daleth.
My soul cleaves to the dust;
Revive me according to Your word.

528

Then I said, “Behold, I come;
In the scroll of the book it is written of me.

529

I will hear what God the Lord will say;
For He will speak peace to His people, to His godly ones;
But let them not turn back to folly.

530

Praise the Lord!
Praise, O servants of the Lord,
Praise the name of the Lord.

533

One generation shall praise Your works to another,
And shall declare Your mighty acts.

537

How great is Your goodness,
Which You have stored up for those who fear You,
Which You have wrought for those who take refuge in You,
Before the sons of men!

538

For the choir director, for Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
I said, “I will guard my ways
That I may not sin with my tongue;
I will guard my mouth as with a muzzle
While the wicked are in my presence.”

540

For the choir director. A Maskil of David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul and said to him, “David has come to the house of Ahimelech.”

The lovingkindness of God endures all day long.

541

How blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
Whose hope is in the Lord his God,

542

For the choir director; on a stringed instrument. A Psalm of David.
Hear my cry, O God;
Give heed to my prayer.

546

“He who offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving honors Me;
And to him who orders his way aright
I shall show the salvation of God.”

548

O Lord, by Your favor You have made my mountain to stand strong;
You hid Your face, I was dismayed.

549

The Lord reigns, let the peoples tremble;
He is enthroned above the cherubim, let the earth shake!

550

Yodh.
Your hands made me and fashioned me;
Give me understanding, that I may learn Your commandments.

552

O daughter of Babylon, you devastated one,
How blessed will be the one who repays you
With the recompense with which you have repaid us.

554

O Lord, do save, we beseech You;
O Lord, we beseech You, do send prosperity!

556

With all my heart I have sought You;
Do not let me wander from Your commandments.

557

When evildoers came upon me to devour my flesh,
My adversaries and my enemies, they stumbled and fell.

561

Also keep back Your servant from presumptuous sins;
Let them not rule over me;
Then I will be blameless,
And I shall be acquitted of great transgression.

562

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.
O Lord, in Your strength the king will be glad,
And in Your salvation how greatly he will rejoice!

563

If I ascend to heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there.

565

Cease from anger and forsake wrath;
Do not fret; it leads only to evildoing.

566

I have chosen the faithful way;
I have placed Your ordinances before me.

567

A Prayer of David.
Incline Your ear, O Lord, and answer me;
For I am afflicted and needy.

568

Lead me in Your truth and teach me,
For You are the God of my salvation;
For You I wait all the day.

570

In my distress I called upon the Lord,
And cried to my God for help;
He heard my voice out of His temple,
And my cry for help before Him came into His ears.

571

Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns;
Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved;
He will judge the peoples with equity.”

572

Whatever the Lord pleases, He does,
In heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps.

573

Upon You I was cast from birth;
You have been my God from my mother’s womb.

576

Pe.
Your testimonies are wonderful;
Therefore my soul observes them.

577

By You I have been sustained from my birth;
You are He who took me from my mother’s womb;
My praise is continually of You.

580

How blessed are the people who know the joyful sound!
O Lord, they walk in the light of Your countenance.

581

A Psalm of David.
Contend, O Lord, with those who contend with me;
Fight against those who fight against me.

582

Nevertheless I am continually with You;
You have taken hold of my right hand.

583

Who will stand up for me against evildoers?
Who will take his stand for me against those who do wickedness?

584

“Behold, You have made my days as handbreadths,
And my lifetime as nothing in Your sight;
Surely every man at his best is a mere breath. Selah.

585

Open to me the gates of righteousness;
I shall enter through them, I shall give thanks to the Lord.

586

But as for me, the nearness of God is my good;
I have made the Lord God my refuge,
That I may tell of all Your works.

587

Teth.
You have dealt well with Your servant,
O Lord, according to Your word.

589

A Song of Ascents, of David.
O Lord, my heart is not proud, nor my eyes haughty;
Nor do I involve myself in great matters,
Or in things too difficult for me.

593

He does not put out his money at interest,
Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent.
He who does these things will never be shaken.

594

Then I will teach transgressors Your ways,
And sinners will be converted to You.

595

The young lions do lack and suffer hunger;
But they who seek the Lord shall not be in want of any good thing.

596

Then the earth shook and quaked;
And the foundations of the mountains were trembling
And were shaken, because He was angry.

597

When the Lord restores His captive people,
Jacob will rejoice, Israel will be glad.

O Lord, the God of my salvation,
I have cried out by day and in the night before You.

605

He who walks with integrity, and works righteousness,
And speaks truth in his heart.

608

How blessed are those who observe His testimonies,
Who seek Him with all their heart.

610

My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises!

613

O my God, my soul is in despair within me;
Therefore I remember You from the land of the Jordan
And the peaks of Hermon, from Mount Mizar.

614

O Lord, God of vengeance,
God of vengeance, shine forth!

615

Let them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness,
And for His wonders to the sons of men!

616

As for me, I shall call upon God,
And the Lord will save me.

Many bulls have surrounded me;
Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me.

For the choir director; on stringed instruments. A Maskil of David.
Give ear to my prayer, O God;
And do not hide Yourself from my supplication.

621

From the end of the earth I call to You when my heart is faint;
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

622

Sing to the Lord, bless His name;
Proclaim good tidings of His salvation from day to day.

623

Surely I have composed and quieted my soul;
Like a weaned child rests against his mother,
My soul is like a weaned child within me.

624

You hide Your face, they are dismayed;
You take away their spirit, they expire
And return to their dust.

627

Behold, He who keeps Israel
Will neither slumber nor sleep.

629

As smoke is driven away, so drive them away;
As wax melts before the fire,
So let the wicked perish before God.

630

But let the righteous be glad; let them exult before God;
Yes, let them rejoice with gladness.

631

My flesh trembles for fear of You,
And I am afraid of Your judgments.

632

If I should say, “My foot has slipped,”
Your lovingkindness, O Lord, will hold me up.

633

For he will deliver the needy when he cries for help,
The afflicted also, and him who has no helper.

634

Once God has spoken;
Twice I have heard this:
That power belongs to God;

635

The righteous will inherit the land
And dwell in it forever.

636

And lovingkindness is Yours, O Lord,
For You recompense a man according to his work.

637

Tsadhe.
Righteous are You, O Lord,
And upright are Your judgments.

638

Why are you in despair, O my soul?
And why are you disturbed within me?
Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him,
The help of my countenance and my God.

639

He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
Who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood
And has not sworn deceitfully.

642

He who goes to and fro weeping, carrying his bag of seed,
Shall indeed come again with a shout of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.

644

How blessed is the one whom You choose and bring near to You
To dwell in Your courts.
We will be satisfied with the goodness of Your house,
Your holy temple.

646

The Lord has sworn to David
A truth from which He will not turn back:
Of the fruit of your body I will set upon your throne.

647

And do not enter into judgment with Your servant,
For in Your sight no man living is righteous.

649

A Maskil of Asaph.
O God, why have You rejected us forever?
Why does Your anger smoke against the sheep of Your pasture?

651

He has sent redemption to His people;
He has ordained His covenant forever;
Holy and awesome is His name.

653

But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in the house of God;
I trust in the lovingkindness of God forever and ever.

654

Come and hear, all who fear God,
And I will tell of what He has done for my soul.

655

Good and upright is the Lord;
Therefore He instructs sinners in the way.

656

Many, O Lord my God, are the wonders which You have done,
And Your thoughts toward us;
There is none to compare with You.
If I would declare and speak of them,
They would be too numerous to count.

657

Let my tongue sing of Your word,
For all Your commandments are righteousness.

659

A Song, a Psalm of Asaph.
O God, do not remain quiet;
Do not be silent and, O God, do not be still.

I hate those who are double-minded,
But I love Your law.

663

Therefore I will give thanks to You among the nations, O Lord,
And I will sing praises to Your name.

664

But You, O Lord, be not far off;
O You my help, hasten to my assistance.

667

No man can by any means redeem his brother
Or give to God a ransom for him—

668

Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth,
Is Mount Zion in the far north,
The city of the great King.

670

Praise the Lord!
Praise the name of the Lord;
Praise Him, O servants of the Lord,

671

This will be written for the generation to come,
That a people yet to be created may praise the Lord.

672

Let the high praises of God be in their mouth,
And a two-edged sword in their hand,

674

A Psalm of David, for a memorial.
O Lord, rebuke me not in Your wrath,
And chasten me not in Your burning anger.

675

He sent from on high, He took me;
He drew me out of many waters.

679

A Song of Ascents.
To You I lift up my eyes,
O You who are enthroned in the heavens!

680

The dead do not praise the Lord,
Nor do any who go down into silence;

681

Once You spoke in vision to Your godly ones,
And said, “I have given help to one who is mighty;
I have exalted one chosen from the people.

682

Passing through the valley of Baca they make it a spring;
The early rain also covers it with blessings.

684

A Prayer of the Afflicted when he is faint and pours out his complaint before the Lord.
Hear my prayer, O Lord!
And let my cry for help come to You.

685

“I also shall make him My firstborn,
The highest of the kings of the earth.

687

My strength is dried up like a potsherd,
And my tongue cleaves to my jaws;
And You lay me in the dust of death.

688

You are fairer than the sons of men;
Grace is poured upon Your lips;
Therefore God has blessed You forever.

691

Seek the Lord and His strength;
Seek His face continually.

692

For the wrath of man shall praise You;
With a remnant of wrath You will gird Yourself.

693

They drink their fill of the abundance of Your house;
And You give them to drink of the river of Your delights.

694

Vindicate me, O God, and plead my case against an ungodly nation;
O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man!

695

For the choir director; according to Jonath elem rehokim. A Mikhtam of David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath.
Be gracious to me, O God, for man has trampled upon me;
Fighting all day long he oppresses me.

696

For all the gods of the peoples are idols,
But the Lord made the heavens.

698

For not from the east, nor from the west,
Nor from the desert comes exaltation;

699

The Lord nullifies the counsel of the nations;
He frustrates the plans of the peoples.

700

He trains my hands for battle,
So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

702

The sorrows of those who have bartered for another god will be multiplied;
I shall not pour out their drink offerings of blood,
Nor will I take their names upon my lips.

703

But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth;
I humbled my soul with fasting,
And my prayer kept returning to my bosom.

706

Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber;
It rejoices as a strong man to run his course.

707

He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth;
He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;
He burns the chariots with fire.

708

There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
The holy dwelling places of the Most High.

710

He rode upon a cherub and flew;
And He sped upon the wings of the wind.

711

“These things you have done and I kept silence;
You thought that I was just like you;
I will reprove you and state the case in order before your eyes.

714

Vav.
May Your lovingkindnesses also come to me, O Lord,
Your salvation according to Your word;

716

“I have found David My servant;
With My holy oil I have anointed him,

717

Heth.
The Lord is my portion;
I have promised to keep Your words.

718

May our God come and not keep silence;
Fire devours before Him,
And it is very tempestuous around Him.

720

Their idols are silver and gold,
The work of man’s hands.

721

The voice of the Lord is upon the waters;
The God of glory thunders,
The Lord is over many waters.

722

The cords of Sheol surrounded me;
The snares of death confronted me.

724

Establish my footsteps in Your word,
And do not let any iniquity have dominion over me.

726

My soul longed and even yearned for the courts of the Lord;
My heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God.

727

I shall run the way of Your commandments,
For You will enlarge my heart.

728

Let all the earth fear the Lord;
Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.

729

A God greatly feared in the council of the holy ones,
And awesome above all those who are around Him?

730

All Your garments are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia;
Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made You glad.

732

May their table before them become a snare;
And when they are in peace, may it become a trap.

733

Covering Yourself with light as with a cloak,
Stretching out heaven like a tent curtain.

735

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

737

A thousand may fall at your side
And ten thousand at your right hand,
But it shall not approach you.

739

No evil will befall you,
Nor will any plague come near your tent.

740

For the choir director; set to Al-tashheth. A Mikhtam of David, when Saul sent men and they watched the house in order to kill him.
Deliver me from my enemies, O my God;
Set me securely on high away from those who rise up against me.

741

The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places;
Indeed, my heritage is beautiful to me.

742

If I take the wings of the dawn,
If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,

744

Therefore, let everyone who is godly pray to You in a time when You may be found;
Surely in a flood of great waters they will not reach him.

745

Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous ones;
And shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart.

746

A Song of Ascents.
Remember, O Lord, on David’s behalf,
All his affliction;

747

May they be blotted out of the book of life
And may they not be recorded with the righteous.

748

But for Your sake we are killed all day long;
We are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.

749

A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A Song.
His foundation is in the holy mountains.

750

Consider and answer me, O Lord my God;
Enlighten my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death,

751

For it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper
And from the deadly pestilence.

755

The wicked plots against the righteous
And gnashes at him with his teeth.

756

O satisfy us in the morning with Your lovingkindness,
That we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.

757

You removed a vine from Egypt;
You drove out the nations and planted it.

758

Let all those be ashamed who serve graven images,
Who boast themselves of idols;
Worship Him, all you gods.

761

Who executes justice for the oppressed;
Who gives food to the hungry.
The Lord sets the prisoners free.

763

For the choir director; according to Shushan Eduth. A Mikhtam of David, to teach; when he struggled with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt.
O God, You have rejected us. You have broken us;
You have been angry; O, restore us.

764

All the paths of the Lord are lovingkindness and truth
To those who keep His covenant and His testimonies.

765

How blessed are the people who are so situated;
How blessed are the people whose God is the Lord!

768

All Your works shall give thanks to You, O Lord,
And Your godly ones shall bless You.

770

Envoys will come out of Egypt;
Ethiopia will quickly stretch out her hands to God.

771

Those who go down to the sea in ships,
Who do business on great waters;

772

O Israel, hope in the Lord;
For with the Lord there is lovingkindness,
And with Him is abundant redemption.

776

They even sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons,

778

Will You not Yourself revive us again,
That Your people may rejoice in You?

779

For the choir director; set to Al-tashheth. A Mikhtam of David.
Do you indeed speak righteousness, O gods?
Do you judge uprightly, O sons of men?

780

My soul will make its boast in the Lord;
The humble will hear it and rejoice.

781

Turn away my eyes from looking at vanity,
And revive me in Your ways.

782

Incline Your ear to me, rescue me quickly;
Be to me a rock of strength,
A stronghold to save me.

785

Maskil of David, when he was in the cave. A Prayer.
I cry aloud with my voice to the Lord;
I make supplication with my voice to the Lord.

786

Shin.
Princes persecute me without cause,
But my heart stands in awe of Your words.

787

Thus I have seen You in the sanctuary,
To see Your power and Your glory.

788

Let his days be few;
Let another take his office.

789

Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change
And though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea;

790

There is the sea, great and broad,
In which are swarms without number,
Animals both small and great.

791

For the Lord loves justice
And does not forsake His godly ones;
They are preserved forever,
But the descendants of the wicked will be cut off.

792

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.
O God of my praise,
Do not be silent!

793

Wait for the Lord and keep His way,
And He will exalt you to inherit the land;
When the wicked are cut off, you will see it.

794

For who in the skies is comparable to the Lord?
Who among the sons of the mighty is like the Lord,

795

Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice,
And be gracious to me and answer me.

796

With the pure You show Yourself pure,
And with the crooked You show Yourself astute.

797

A Psalm of David.
I will sing of lovingkindness and justice,
To You, O Lord, I will sing praises.

798

And let all kings bow down before him,
All nations serve him.

800

In You our fathers trusted;
They trusted and You delivered them.

801

I rejoice at Your word,
As one who finds great spoil.

802

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is too high, I cannot attain to it.

803

Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head;
Those who would destroy me are powerful, being wrongfully my enemies;
What I did not steal, I then have to restore.

804

Qoph.
I cried with all my heart; answer me, O Lord!
I will observe Your statutes.

805

Do not deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries,
For false witnesses have risen against me,
And such as breathe out violence.

806

Commit yourself to the Lord; let Him deliver him;
Let Him rescue him, because He delights in him.”

807

For You are my rock and my fortress;
For Your name’s sake You will lead me and guide me.

809

The Lord sustains all who fall
And raises up all who are bowed down.

812

A Psalm of David.
O Lord, I call upon You; hasten to me!
Give ear to my voice when I call to You!

813

If I say, “Surely the darkness will overwhelm me,
And the light around me will be night,”

814

But to the wicked God says,
“What right have you to tell of My statutes
And to take My covenant in your mouth?

816

He made darkness His hiding place, His canopy around Him,
Darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.

817

For the choir director; on stringed instruments. A Maskil of David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, “Is not David hiding himself among us?”
Save me, O God, by Your name,
And vindicate me by Your power.

818

From Your precepts I get understanding;
Therefore I hate every false way.

819

For the Lord has chosen Zion;
He has desired it for His habitation.

821

In God, whose word I praise,
In God I have put my trust;
I shall not be afraid.
What can mere man do to me?

823

You divided the sea by Your strength;
You broke the heads of the sea monsters in the waters.

825

The chariots of God are myriads, thousands upon thousands;
The Lord is among them as at Sinai, in holiness.

826

Indeed, none of those who wait for You will be ashamed;
Those who deal treacherously without cause will be ashamed.

828

There is no speech, nor are there words;
Their voice is not heard.

830

Moreover, by them Your servant is warned;
In keeping them there is great reward.

832

May their camp be desolate;
May none dwell in their tents.

835

For it is not an enemy who reproaches me,
Then I could bear it;
Nor is it one who hates me who has exalted himself against me,
Then I could hide myself from him.

837

The works of His hands are truth and justice;
All His precepts are sure.

839

And even when I am old and gray, O God, do not forsake me,
Until I declare Your strength to this generation,
Your power to all who are to come.

840

Even they will perish, but You endure;
And all of them will wear out like a garment;
Like clothing You will change them and they will be changed.

842

Exalt the Lord our God
And worship at His holy hill,
For holy is the Lord our God.

844

He lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters;
He makes the clouds His chariot;
He walks upon the wings of the wind;

845

My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness,
And my mouth offers praises with joyful lips.

847

When I remember You on my bed,
I meditate on You in the night watches,

848

To You, O Lord, I called,
And to the Lord I made supplication:

849

You, O Lord, will not withhold Your compassion from me;
Your lovingkindness and Your truth will continually preserve me.

850

Ayin.
I have done justice and righteousness;
Do not leave me to my oppressors.

852

You have enclosed me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.

854

Since I am afflicted and needy,
Let the Lord be mindful of me.
You are my help and my deliverer;
Do not delay, O my God.

855

Remember, O Lord, against the sons of Edom
The day of Jerusalem,
Who said, “Raze it, raze it
To its very foundation.”

856

He rained down manna upon them to eat
And gave them food from heaven.

857

You crushed the heads of Leviathan;
You gave him as food for the creatures of the wilderness.

858

The Lord also thundered in the heavens,
And the Most High uttered His voice,
Hailstones and coals of fire.

859

I will cry to God Most High,
To God who accomplishes all things for me.

861

For though the Lord is exalted,
Yet He regards the lowly,
But the haughty He knows from afar.

862

May his name endure forever;
May his name increase as long as the sun shines;
And let men bless themselves by him;
Let all nations call him blessed.

863

You have delivered me from the contentions of the people;
You have placed me as head of the nations;
A people whom I have not known serve me.

865

Praise Him for His mighty deeds;
Praise Him according to His excellent greatness.

867

You will arise and have compassion on Zion;
For it is time to be gracious to her,
For the appointed time has come.

871

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.
Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint;
Preserve my life from dread of the enemy.

875

I have proclaimed glad tidings of righteousness in the great congregation;
Behold, I will not restrain my lips,
O Lord, You know.

876

The Lord knows the days of the blameless,
And their inheritance will be forever.

880

My eyes are continually toward the Lord,
For He will pluck my feet out of the net.

881

I believed when I said,
“I am greatly afflicted.”

882

You have tried my heart;
You have visited me by night;
You have tested me and You find nothing;
I have purposed that my mouth will not transgress.

883

“Therefore I swore in My anger,
Truly they shall not enter into My rest.”

884

“He will cry to Me, ‘You are my Father,
My God, and the rock of my salvation.’

885

I will sing to the Lord,
Because He has dealt bountifully with me.

For You are my rock and my fortress.

890

For the choir director. A Psalm of David; for a memorial.
O God, hasten to deliver me;

You turn man back into dust
And say, “Return, O children of men.”

894

O Lord, You have brought up my soul from Sheol;
You have kept me alive, that I would not go down to the pit.

895

“What profit is there in my blood, if I go down to the pit?
Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your faithfulness?

896

The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom,
And his tongue speaks justice.

898

Yet You have rejected us and brought us to dishonor,
And do not go out with our armies.

899

And the heavens declare His righteousness,
For God Himself is judge. Selah.

902

The heavens will praise Your wonders, O Lord;
Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.

903

Sing praises to God, sing praises;
Sing praises to our King, sing praises.

906

Hear the voice of my supplications when I cry to You for help,
When I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.

907

That my soul may sing praise to You and not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.

908

Do I not hate those who hate You, O Lord?
And do I not loathe those who rise up against You?

909

Do all the workers of wickedness not know,
Who eat up my people as they eat bread,
And do not call upon the Lord?

911

All my bones will say, “Lord, who is like You,
Who delivers the afflicted from him who is too strong for him,
And the afflicted and the needy from him who robs him?”

912

I have more insight than all my teachers,
For Your testimonies are my meditation.

913

“Gather My godly ones to Me,
Those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.”

914

How blessed are those who dwell in Your house!
They are ever praising You. Selah.

Planted in the house of the Lord,
They will flourish in the courts of our God.

916

I will give heed to the blameless way.
When will You come to me?
I will walk within my house in the integrity of my heart.

917

For the choir director; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song.

A Song of Ascents.
Behold, bless the Lord, all servants of the Lord,
Who serve by night in the house of the Lord!

924

“If I were hungry I would not tell you,
For the world is Mine, and all it contains.

925

May He send you help from the sanctuary
And support you from Zion!

926

If I forget you, O Jerusalem,
May my right hand forget her skill.

927

How long shall I take counsel in my soul,
Having sorrow in my heart all the day?
How long will my enemy be exalted over me?

928

I know, O Lord, that Your judgments are righteous,
And that in faithfulness You have afflicted me.

931

A Song of Ascents, of David.
Had it not been the Lord who was on our side,”
Let Israel now say,

932

The Lord will stretch forth Your strong scepter from Zion, saying,
Rule in the midst of Your enemies.”

934

Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;
Let the sea roar, and all it contains;

935

I pursued my enemies and overtook them,
And I did not turn back until they were consumed.

939

But the wicked will perish;
And the enemies of the Lord will be like the glory of the pastures,
They vanish—like smoke they vanish away.

940

Be not far from me, for trouble is near;
For there is none to help.

Incline Your ear to me, hear my speech.

With thick darkness under His feet.

946

When my heart was embittered
And I was pierced within,

947

Do not harden your hearts, as at Meribah,
As in the day of Massah in the wilderness,

949

As sheep they are appointed for Sheol;
Death shall be their shepherd;
And the upright shall rule over them in the morning,
And their form shall be for Sheol to consume
So that they have no habitation.

950

The bird also has found a house,
And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young,
Even Your altars, O Lord of hosts,
My King and my God.

951

He does not slander with his tongue,
Nor does evil to his neighbor,
Nor takes up a reproach against his friend;

952

You hide them in the secret place of Your presence from the conspiracies of man;
You keep them secretly in a shelter from the strife of tongues.

953

For I know that the Lord is great
And that our Lord is above all gods.

954

These things I remember and I pour out my soul within me.
For I used to go along with the throng and lead them in procession to the house of God,
With the voice of joy and thanksgiving, a multitude keeping festival.

955

Then our mouth was filled with laughter
And our tongue with joyful shouting;
Then they said among the nations,
“The Lord has done great things for them.”

956

But You have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox;
I have been anointed with fresh oil.

957

Let the glory of the Lord endure forever;
Let the Lord be glad in His works;

958

Therefore I esteem right all Your precepts concerning everything,
I hate every false way.

959

For He has founded it upon the seas
And established it upon the rivers.

960

Remember, O Lord, Your compassion and Your lovingkindnesses,
For they have been from of old.

966

I shattered them, so that they were not able to rise;
They fell under my feet.

967

May He grant you your heart’s desire
And fulfill all your counsel!

968

You open Your hand
And satisfy the desire of every living thing.

969

The cords of death encompassed me
And the terrors of Sheol came upon me;
I found distress and sorrow.

970

Return to your rest, O my soul,
For the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.

971

I am a stranger in the earth;
Do not hide Your commandments from me.

972

Blessed be the Lord,
Because He has heard the voice of my supplication.

974

Woe is me, for I sojourn in Meshech,
For I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

975

Wondrously show Your lovingkindness,
O Savior of those who take refuge at Your right hand
From those who rise up against them.

976

My eyes fail with longing for Your salvation
And for Your righteous word.

979

Smoke went up out of His nostrils,
And fire from His mouth devoured;
Coals were kindled by it.

980

Behold, Philistia and Tyre with Ethiopia:
‘This one was born there.’”

Who works deeds of deliverance in the midst of the earth.

Hear, O My people, and I will speak;
O Israel, I will testify against you;
I am God, your God.

984

Then He brought them out with silver and gold,
And among His tribes there was not one who stumbled.

987

When I wept in my soul with fasting,
It became my reproach.

990

The heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours;
The world and all it contains, You have founded them.

992

For Your lovingkindness toward me is great,
And You have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.

993

Gird Your sword on Your thigh, O Mighty One,
In Your splendor and Your majesty!

994

My tears have been my food day and night,
While they say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”

995

Though a host encamp against me,
My heart will not fear;
Though war arise against me,
In spite of this I shall be confident.

996

“Surely every man walks about as a phantom;
Surely they make an uproar for nothing;
He amasses riches and does not know who will gather them.

997

There is no one like You among the gods, O Lord,
Nor are there any works like Yours.

1000

They shall eagerly utter the memory of Your abundant goodness
And will shout joyfully of Your righteousness.
