NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} The heavens declare the glory of God; and the expanse sheweth the work of his hands.

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked, and standeth not in the way of sinners, and sitteth not in the seat of scorners;

For thou hast possessed my reins; thou didst cover me in my mother's womb.

and delight thyself in Jehovah, and he will give thee the desires of thy heart.

{A Psalm of David.} Bless Jehovah, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless his holy name!

Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.

{To the chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. On Alamoth. A song.} God is our refuge and strength, a help in distresses, very readily found.

Lo, children are an inheritance from Jehovah, and the fruit of the womb a reward.

{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} Jehovah, thou hast searched me, and known me.

{A Psalm of David.} Jehovah is my shepherd; I shall not want.

The law of Jehovah is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of Jehovah is sure, making wise the simple;

{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They have corrupted themselves, they have done abominable works: there is none that doeth good.

{A Psalm of David.} Jehovah is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? Jehovah is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

{Of David. A Psalm.} The earth is Jehovah's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

Behold, in iniquity was I brought forth, and in sin did my mother conceive me.

{Psalm of David.} Jehovah said unto my Lord, Sit at my right hand, until I put thine enemies as footstool of thy feet.

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Thy word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against thee.

Before the mountains were brought forth, and thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from eternity to eternity thou art God.

I will declare the decree: Jehovah hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; I this day have begotten thee.

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer.

I will praise thee, for I am fearfully, wonderfully made. Marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.

Thou wilt make known to me the path of life: thy countenance is fulness of joy; at thy right hand are pleasures for evermore.

{A Song of degrees. Of Solomon.} Unless Jehovah build the house, in vain do its builders labour in it; unless Jehovah keep the city, the keeper watcheth in vain:

Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? and whither flee from thy presence?

BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his path? by taking heed according to thy word.

{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David; when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba.} Be gracious unto me, O God, according to thy loving-kindness; according to the abundance of thy tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.

The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do his precepts: his praise abideth for ever.

When I see thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and stars, which thou hast established;

Search me, O God, and know my heart; prove me, and know my thoughts;

{To the chief Musician. Upon Aijeleth-Shahar. A Psalm of David.} My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou far from my salvation, from the words of my groaning?

The words of Jehovah are pure words, silver tried in the furnace of earth, purified seven times.

{To the chief Musician. An instruction; of the sons of Korah.} As the hart panteth after the water-brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.

This is the day that Jehovah hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Taste and see that Jehovah is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him!

I will bow down toward the temple of thy holiness, and celebrate thy name for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth; for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

{A Psalm of David; when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.} I will bless Jehovah at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

I will instruct thee and teach thee the way in which thou shalt go; I will counsel thee with mine eye upon thee.

{A Psalm of thanksgiving.} Shout aloud unto Jehovah, all the earth!

LAMED. For ever, O Jehovah, thy word is settled in the heavens.

But his delight is in Jehovah's law, and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

Let us break their bonds asunder, and cast away their cords from us!

{A Song of degrees. Of David.} Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

For thou wilt not leave my soul to Sheol, neither wilt thou allow thy Holy One to see corruption.

{A Song of degrees.} I lift up mine eyes unto the mountains: whence shall my help come?

Wait for Jehovah; be strong and let thy heart take courage: yea, wait for Jehovah.

One thing have I asked of Jehovah, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of Jehovah, and to inquire of him in his temple.

For he shall give his angels charge concerning thee, to keep thee in all thy ways:

The wicked are not so; but are as the chaff which the wind driveth away.

Cast thy burden upon Jehovah, and he will sustain thee: he will never suffer the righteous to be moved.

In thee, Jehovah, do I trust: let me never be ashamed.

MEM. Oh how I love thy law! it is my meditation all the day.

{A Psalm of David; when he was in the wilderness of Judah.} O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee. My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh languisheth for thee, in a dry and weary land without water:

So teach us to number our days, that we may acquire a wise heart.

The stone which the builders rejected hath become the head of the corner:

ALEPH. Blessed are the perfect in the way, who walk in the law of Jehovah.

Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I will trust; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

For Jehovah knoweth the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.

{To the chief Musician. Of David. A Psalm.} I waited patiently for Jehovah; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

Jehovah is nigh to those that are of a broken heart, and saveth them that are of a contrite spirit.

Come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before Jehovah our Maker.

Blessed is the nation whose God is Jehovah, the people that he hath chosen for his inheritance!

Jehovah our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

For Jehovah Elohim is a sun and shield: Jehovah will give grace and glory; no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

{To the chief Musician. Upon the Gittith. A Psalm of Asaph.} Sing ye joyously unto God our strength, shout aloud unto the God of Jacob;

Give ye thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; for his loving-kindness endureth for ever.

Come, let us sing aloud to Jehovah, let us shout for joy to the rock of our salvation;

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

I have said, Ye are gods, and all of you are children of the Most High;

Let everything that hath breath praise Jah. Hallelujah!

Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

Why are the nations in tumultuous agitation, and why do the peoples meditate a vain thing?

Bless Jehovah, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

I sought Jehovah, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.

By the word of Jehovah were the heavens made, and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

Had I regarded iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not hear.

I have set Jehovah continually before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

And he is as a tree planted by brooks of water, which giveth its fruit in its season, and whose leaf fadeth not; and all that he doeth prospereth.

Ye that fear Jehovah, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and revere him, all ye the seed of Israel.

Thou wilt destroy them that speak lies: Jehovah abhorreth a man of blood and deceit.

With my voice will I call to Jehovah, and he will answer me from the hill of his holiness. Selah.

Offer sacrifices of righteousness, and confide in Jehovah.

Sing psalms to Jehovah who dwelleth in Zion; tell among the peoples his doings.

And he brought me forth into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

Mine eye wasteth away through grief; it hath grown old because of all mine oppressors.

Jehovah shall minister judgment to the peoples. Judge me, Jehovah, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity which is in me.

He saith in his heart, God hath forgotten, he hideth his face, he will never see it.

For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him: but when he cried unto him, he heard.

But as for me, in the greatness of thy loving-kindness will I enter thy house; I will bow down toward the temple of thy holiness in thy fear.

Arise, Jehovah; O God, lift up thy hand: forget not the afflicted.

I laid me down and slept; I awaked, for Jehovah sustaineth me.

Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for Jehovah hath heard the voice of my weeping.

Many say, Who shall cause us to see good? Lift up upon us the light of thy countenance, O Jehovah.

Then will he speak to them in his anger, and in his fierce displeasure will he terrify them:

Lead me, Jehovah, in thy righteousness, because of my foes; make thy way plain before me.

Jehovah hath rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

Oh let the wrong of the wicked come to an end, and establish thou the righteous man; even thou that triest the hearts and reins, the righteous God.

For when he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them; the cry of the afflicted ones hath he not forgotten.

Put them in fear, Jehovah: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.

Thou hast seen it, for thou thyself beholdest trouble and vexation, to requite by thy hand. The wretched committeth himself unto thee; thou hast been the helper of the fatherless.

Jehovah, thou hast heard the desire of the meek, thou hast established their heart: thou causest thine ear to hear,

But the salvation of the righteous is of Jehovah: he is their strength in the time of trouble.

Jehovah is known by the judgment he hath executed: the wicked is ensnared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.

Jehovah is King for ever and ever: the nations have perished out of his land.

Jehovah hath heard my supplication; Jehovah receiveth my prayer.

The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made; in the net that they hid is their own foot taken.

If one turn not, he will sharpen his sword; he hath bent his bow and made it ready,

Bring guilt upon them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels: drive them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against thee.

Arise, Jehovah; let not man prevail: let the nations be judged in thy sight.

To do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed one, that the man of the earth may terrify no more.

Thou shalt break them with a sceptre of iron, as a potter's vessel thou shalt dash them in pieces.

Thou hast put joy in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their new wine was in abundance.

Mine eye consumeth by reason of affliction. Upon thee, Jehovah, have I called every day; I have stretched out my hands unto thee.

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

They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done it.

The meek shall eat and be satisfied; they shall praise Jehovah that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.

And he hath prepared for him instruments of death; his arrows hath he made burning.

A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.

Be gracious unto me, O Jehovah; consider mine affliction from them that hate me, lifting me up from the gates of death:

Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.

He is ever mindful of his covenant, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations, --

And now, O kings, be ye wise, be admonished, ye judges of the earth.

And all that trust in thee shall rejoice: for ever shall they shout joyously, and thou wilt protect them; and they that love thy name shall exult in thee.

Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.

For there is no certainty in their mouth; their inward part is perversion, their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.

That I may declare all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion. I will be joyful in thy salvation.

I will not fear for myriads of the people that have set themselves against me round about.

Bless Jehovah, all his works, in all places of his dominion. Bless Jehovah, O my soul!

With the gracious thou dost shew thyself gracious; with the upright man thou dost shew thyself upright;

My lips shall exult when I sing psalms unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.

Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? He hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.

Lift up your heads, ye gates, and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in.

My shield is with God, who saveth the upright in heart.

And I was upright with him, and kept myself from mine iniquity.

God is a righteous judge, and a God who is indignant all the day.

{To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.} When I call, answer me, O God of my righteousness: in pressure thou hast enlarged me; be gracious unto me, and hear my prayer.

Turn toward me, and be gracious unto me; for I am solitary and afflicted.

Why, Jehovah, standest thou afar off? Why hidest thou thyself in times of distress?

The God who girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect,

Salvation is of Jehovah; thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.

Insolent fools shall not stand before thine eyes; thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

For the needy one shall not be forgotten alway; the hope of the meek shall not perish for ever.

Arise, Jehovah; save me, my God! For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheekbone, thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.

{A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.} Jehovah, how many are they that trouble me, many they that rise up against me!

{To the chief Musician. Upon Sheminith. A Psalm of David.} Save, Jehovah, for the godly man is gone; for the faithful have failed from among the children of men.

My praise is from thee, in the great congregation; I will pay my vows before them that fear him.

And Jehovah will be a refuge to the oppressed one, a refuge in times of distress.

Jehovah trieth the righteous one; but the wicked, and him that loveth violence, his soul hateth.

{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} In Jehovah have I put my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?

All mine enemies shall be ashamed and tremble exceedingly; they will turn, they will be ashamed suddenly.

Be moved with anger, and sin not; meditate in your own hearts upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

The wicked saith, in the haughtiness of his countenance, He doth not search out: all his thoughts are, There is no God!

Break thou the arm of the wicked, and as for the evil man, seek out his wickedness till thou find none.

For it is thou that makest my lamp to shine: Jehovah my God enlighteneth my darkness.

Jehovah is in the temple of his holiness; Jehovah, his throne is in the heavens: his eyes behold, his eyelids try the children of men.

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

I will be glad and rejoice in thee; I will sing forth thy name, O Most High.

For thou, Jehovah, wilt bless the righteous man; with favour wilt thou surround him as with a shield.

But Jehovah sitteth for ever; he hath ordained his throne for judgment.

For who is +God save Jehovah? and who is a rock if not our God?

For it is thou that savest the afflicted people; but the haughty eyes wilt thou bring down.

For righteous is Jehovah; he loveth righteousness, his countenance doth behold the upright.

The fowl of the heavens, and the fishes of the sea, whatever passeth through the paths of the seas.

Because of the oppression of the afflicted, because of the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith Jehovah, I will set him in safety, at whom they puff.

Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone; and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.

{Shiggaion of David, which he sang to Jehovah, concerning the words of Cush the Benjaminite.} Jehovah my God, in thee have I trusted: save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me;

For the wicked boasteth of his soul's desire, and he blesseth the covetous; he contemneth Jehovah.

And thou, O God, wilt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days. But as for me, I will confide in thee.

For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness; evil shall not sojourn with thee.

Many say of my soul, There is no salvation for him in God. Selah.

They speak falsehood every one with his neighbour: with flattering lip, with a double heart, do they speak.

Thou, Jehovah, wilt keep them, thou wilt preserve them from this generation for ever.

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

O enemy! destructions are ended for ever. Thou hast also destroyed cities, even the remembrance of them hath perished.

{To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments, upon Sheminith. A Psalm of David.} Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger, and chasten me not in thy hot displeasure.

For in death there is no remembrance of thee; in Sheol who shall give thanks unto thee?

The wicked, in his pride, doth hotly pursue the afflicted. They shall be taken in the devices that they have imagined.

And thou didst give me the shield of thy salvation, and thy right hand held me up; and thy condescending gentleness hath made me great.

When mine enemies turned back, they stumbled and perished at thy presence:

He digged a pit, and hollowed it out, and is fallen into the hole that he made.

Who maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places;

Sheep and oxen, all of them, and also the beasts of the field;

His mouth is full of cursing, and deceit, and oppression; under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.

Jehovah will cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that speaketh proud things,

Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, yea, he hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood:

And it is he that will judge the world with righteousness; he shall execute judgment upon the peoples with equity.

For thou hast maintained my right and my cause. Thou sittest on the throne, judging righteously.

For behold, the wicked bend the bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may in darkness shoot at the upright in heart.

Ye sons of men, till when is my glory to be put to shame? How long will ye love vanity, will ye seek after a lie? Selah.

But know that Jehovah hath set apart the pious man for himself: Jehovah will hear when I call unto him.

Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail, our lips are our own: who is lord over us?

The wicked walk about on every side, when vileness is exalted among the children of men.

He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? He that formed the eye, shall he not see?

And thou girdedst me with strength to battle; thou didst subdue under me those that rose up against me.

Hearken unto the voice of my crying, my king and my God; for to thee will I pray.

He lieth in wait secretly, like a lion in his thicket; he lieth in wait to catch the afflicted: he doth catch the afflicted, drawing him into his net.

He saith in his heart, I shall not be moved; from generation to generation I shall be in no adversity.

His ways always succeed; thy judgments are far above out of his sight; as for all his adversaries, he puffeth at them.

And my soul trembleth exceedingly: and thou, Jehovah, till how long?

All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn unto Jehovah, and all the families of the nations shall worship before thee:

I will praise Jehovah according to his righteousness, and will sing forth the name of Jehovah the Most High.

He sitteth in the lurking-places of the villages; in the secret places doth he slay the innocent: his eyes watch for the wretched.

For all his ordinances were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me;

I am wearied with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I dissolve my couch with my tears.

He croucheth, he boweth down, that the wretched may fall by his strong ones.

Be gracious unto me, Jehovah, for I am withered; Jehovah, heal me, for my bones tremble.

{A Song of degrees. Of David.} I rejoiced when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of Jehovah.

His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violence shall come down upon his own pate.

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving and into his courts with praise; give thanks unto him, bless his name:

Return, Jehovah, free my soul; save me for thy loving-kindness' sake.

If I have rewarded evil to him that was at peace with me; (indeed I have freed him that without cause oppressed me;)

For dogs have encompassed me; an assembly of evil-doers have surrounded me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

Thine eyes did see my unformed substance, and in thy book all my members were written; during many days were they fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

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

{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David, the servant of Jehovah, who spoke to Jehovah the words of this song in the day that Jehovah had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies and out of the hand of Saul. And he said,} I will love thee, O Jehovah, my strength.

As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

Jehovah hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art priest for ever after the order of Melchisedek.

The entrance of thy words giveth light, giving understanding unto the simple.

For the kingdom is Jehovah's, and he ruleth among the nations.

Sing ye unto Jehovah a new song: sing unto Jehovah, all the earth.

Give ye thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; for his loving-kindness endureth for ever.

{Michtam of David.} Preserve me, O God: for I trust in thee.

{A Psalm of David.} Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, and be not envious of them that work unrighteousness;

I love Jehovah, for he hath heard my voice and my supplications;

Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I confided, who did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.

{To the chief Musician. Upon the Gittith. A Psalm of David.} Jehovah our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy majesty above the heavens.

For a moment is passed in his anger, a life in his favour; at even weeping cometh for the night, and at morn there is rejoicing.

It is better to trust in Jehovah than to put confidence in man;

And the assembly of the peoples shall encompass thee; and for their sakes return thou on high.

Lest he tear my soul like a lion, crushing it while there is no deliverer.

And Jehovah will help them and deliver them: he will deliver them from the wicked, and save them; for they trust in him.

Open mine eyes, and I shall behold wondrous things out of thy law.

{To the chief Musician. On Shoshannim-Eduth. Of Asaph. A Psalm.} Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that sittest between the cherubim, shine forth.

Confide in Jehovah, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on faithfulness;

Let the enemy pursue after my soul, and take it, and let him tread down my life to the earth, and lay my glory in the dust. Selah.

The angel of Jehovah encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.

Surely, goodness and loving-kindness shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of Jehovah for the length of the days.

The steps of a man are established by Jehovah, and he delighteth in his way:

How manifold are thy works, O Jehovah! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.

{An instruction. Of Asaph.} Give ear, O my people, to my law; incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

Arise, Jehovah, in thine anger; lift thyself up against the raging of mine oppressors, and awake for me: thou hast commanded judgment.

Jehovah my God, if I have done this, if there be iniquity in my hands;

He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honour him.

The sum of thy word is truth, and every righteous judgment of thine is for ever.

Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and splendour.

Jehovah is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving-kindness.

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

Make me to know thy ways, O Jehovah; teach me thy paths.

Jehovah is nigh unto all that call upon him, unto all that call upon him in truth.

Commit thy way unto Jehovah, and rely upon him: he will bring it to pass;

That they may know that thou alone, whose name is Jehovah, art the Most High over all the earth.

He keepeth all his bones; not one of them is broken.

A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.

Precious in the sight of Jehovah is the death of his saints.

{A Psalm of David.} Unto thee, Jehovah, do I lift up my soul.

The wicked shall be turned into Sheol, all the nations that forget God.

They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.

Give ye thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name; make known his acts among the peoples.

Great peace have they that love thy law, and nothing doth stumble them.

For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand. To-day if ye hear his voice,

Give ye thanks unto Jehovah, for he is good; for his loving-kindness endureth for ever:

{To the chief Musician. A Song: a Psalm.} Shout aloud unto God, all the earth:

Exult, ye righteous, in Jehovah: praise is comely for the upright.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; thou hast anointed my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Who forgiveth all thine iniquities, who healeth all thy diseases;

Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; a sceptre of uprightness is the sceptre of thy kingdom:

The earth, O Jehovah, is full of thy loving-kindness: teach me thy statutes.

Who shall ascend into the mount of Jehovah? and who shall stand in his holy place?

{A Psalm, a Song, for the Sabbath day.} It is good to give thanks unto Jehovah, and to sing psalms unto thy name, O Most High;

Of old hast thou founded the earth, and the heavens are the work of thy hands:

But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he pleased.

Not unto us, O Jehovah, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth's sake.

Know that Jehovah is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

And call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

Hallelujah! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in the firmament of his power.

{A Psalm of David.} Give unto Jehovah, ye sons of the mighty ones, give unto Jehovah glory and strength;

Whom have I in the heavens? and there is none upon earth I desire beside thee.

Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou established praise because of thine adversaries, to still the enemy and the avenger.

{A Prayer of Moses, the man of God.} Lord, thou hast been our dwelling-place in all generations.

{To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm: a Song.} God be gracious unto us, and bless us, and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah,

Unless I had believed to see the goodness of Jehovah in the land of the living ...!

If the foundations be destroyed, what shall the righteous do?

As a father pitieth his children, so Jehovah pitieth them that fear him.

Jehovah reigneth, he hath clothed himself with majesty: Jehovah hath clothed himself, he hath girded himself with strength; yea, the world is established, it shall not be moved.

He laid the earth upon its foundations: it shall not be removed for ever.

Serve Jehovah with joy: come before his presence with exultation.

{An instruction. Of Ethan the Ezrahite.} I will sing of the loving-kindness of Jehovah for ever; with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness from generation to generation.

Ask of me, and I will give thee nations for an inheritance, and for thy possession the ends of the earth:

{To the chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm.} All ye peoples, clap your hands; shout unto God with the voice of triumph!

Jehovah is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.

Rest in Jehovah, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him that prospereth in his way, because of the man that bringeth mischievous devices to pass.

{To the chief Musician. On Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.} Upon God alone doth my soul rest peacefully; from him is my salvation.

Jehovah, thy loving-kindness is in the heavens, and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.

{A Psalm. Of Asaph.} God, Elohim-Jehovah, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.

Many are the adversities of the righteous, but Jehovah delivereth him out of them all:

{For Solomon.} O God, give the king thy judgments, and thy righteousness unto the king's son.

Sacrifice and oblation thou didst not desire: ears hast thou prepared me. Burnt-offering and sin-offering hast thou not demanded;

Teach me thy way, Jehovah; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.

But the meek shall possess the land, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of prosperity.

He restoreth my soul; he leadeth me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done what is evil in thy sight; that thou mayest be justified when thou speakest, be clear when thou judgest.

Jehovah hath established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom ruleth over all.

Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way, though his anger burn but a little. Blessed are all who have their trust in him.

Hallelujah! Give ye thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; for his loving-kindness endureth for ever.

{A Song, a Psalm of David.} My heart is fixed, O God: I will sing, yea, I will sing psalms, even with my glory.

And I have anointed my king upon Zion, the hill of my holiness.

The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if, by reason of strength, they be fourscore years, yet their pride is labour and vanity, for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

Jehovah is gracious and merciful; slow to anger, and of great loving-kindness.

Upon God alone, O my soul, rest peacefully; for my expectation is from him.

{To the chief Musician. Upon Nehiloth. A Psalm of David.} Give ear to my words, O Jehovah; consider my meditation.

{A Song of degrees.} Blessed is every one that feareth Jehovah, that walketh in his ways.

Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

Give unto Jehovah the glory of his name; worship Jehovah in holy splendour.

He sendeth his word, and healeth them, and delivereth them from their destructions.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside still waters.

Magnify Jehovah with me, and let us exalt his name together.

In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; for thou, Jehovah, alone makest me to dwell in safety.

I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.

{A Psalm of Asaph.} Truly God is good to Israel, to such as are of a pure heart.

With God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.

Behold, thou wilt have truth in the inward parts; and in the hidden part thou wilt make me to know wisdom.

I am afflicted very much; O Jehovah, quicken me according to thy word.

Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts in Man, and even for the rebellious, for the dwelling there of Jah Elohim.

For the word of Jehovah is right, and all his work is in faithfulness.

But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and the despised of the people.

But thou, Jehovah, art a shield about me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down; yea, we wept when we remembered Zion.

{To the chief Musician. 'Destroy not.' Of David. Michtam; when he fled from Saul in the cave.} Be gracious unto me, O God, be gracious unto me; for my soul taketh refuge in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings do I take refuge, until the calamities be overpast.

The precepts of Jehovah are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes;

{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} Blessed is he that understandeth the poor: Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil.

Bless Jehovah, O my soul! Jehovah my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with majesty and splendour;

{A Psalm of David.} Blessed be Jehovah my rock, who teacheth my hands to war, my fingers to fight;

As for God, his way is perfect; the word of Jehovah is tried: he is a shield to all that trust in him.

Thou hast made him to rule over the works of thy hands; thou hast put everything under his feet:

Jehovah looked down from the heavens upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.

For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive, and art of great loving-kindness unto all that call upon thee.

{A Psalm of David.} I will give thee thanks with my whole heart; before the gods will I sing psalms of thee.

I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity I covered not; I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah, and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

My strength and song is Jah, and he is become my salvation.

All they that see me laugh me to scorn; they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying:

Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their language to the extremity of the world. In them hath he set a tent for the sun,

They that sow in tears shall reap with rejoicing:

{To the chief Musician. On Mahalath: an instruction. Of David.} The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God! They have corrupted themselves, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.

He that dwelleth in the heavens shall laugh, the Lord shall have them in derision.

Thou knowest my down-sitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off;

He counteth the number of the stars; he giveth names to them all.

And they that know thy name will confide in thee; for thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

God maketh the solitary into families; those that were bound he bringeth out into prosperity: but the rebellious dwell in a parched land.

{To the chief Musician. Upon Muthlabben. A Psalm of David.} I will praise Jehovah with my whole heart; I will recount all thy marvellous works.

I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving;

Yea, they gave me gall for my food, and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

Jehovah will perfect what concerneth me: thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, endureth for ever; forsake not the works of thine own hands.

{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} How long, Jehovah, wilt thou forget me for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

In the day that I am afraid, I will confide in thee.

Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all ye that hope in Jehovah.

But how precious are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!

Be gracious unto me, Jehovah, for I am in trouble: mine eye wasteth away with vexation, my soul and my belly.

To do thy good pleasure, my God, is my delight, and thy law is within my heart.

Serve Jehovah with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

Blessed be the Lord: day by day doth he load us with good, the God who is our salvation. Selah.

Why art thou cast down, my soul, and art disquieted in me? hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, for the health of his countenance.

Jehovah is my strength and my shield; my heart confided in him, and I was helped: therefore my heart exulteth, and with my song will I praise him.

Let them praise his name in the dance; let them sing psalms unto him with the tambour and harp.

{A Psalm.} Sing ye unto Jehovah a new song: for he hath done wondrous things; his right hand and his holy arm hath wrought salvation for him.

The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring for ever; the judgments of Jehovah are truth, they are righteous altogether:

{A Psalm of praise. Of David.} I will extol thee, my God, O King, and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.

Some make mention of chariots, and some of horses, but we of the name of Jehovah our God.

For the zeal of thy house hath devoured me, and the reproaches of them that reproach thee have fallen upon me.

{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of the servant of Jehovah; of David.} The transgression of the wicked uttereth within my heart, There is no fear of God before his eyes.

For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God, than dwell in the tents of wickedness.

For Jehovah is good; his loving-kindness endureth for ever; and his faithfulness from generation to generation.

Happy he that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the rock.

The secret of Jehovah is with them that fear him, that he may make known his covenant to them.

Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created, and thou renewest the face of the earth.

Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

He hath not dealt with us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

HE. Teach me, O Jehovah, the way of thy statutes, and I will observe it unto the end.

My bones were not hidden from thee when I was made in secret, curiously wrought in the lower parts of the earth.
