Deliver the poor and needy one: take away out of the hand of the unjust

They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

I said, “You are gods;
Indeed, all of you are sons of the Most High.

But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.

Rise up, O God, and execute judgment on the earth! For you own all the nations.

For behold, Your enemies are in tumult,
And those who hate You have raised their heads [in hatred of You].

They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:

Gebal and Ammon, and Amalek, The Philistines, with the dwellers in Tyre;

Asshur also is joined with them: they are an arm to the sons of Lot. Selah.

They were destroyed at En-dor; they became dung for the ground.

Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.

As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;

Let them be put to shame and terrified forever;
let them perish in disgrace.

that they may know that you alone, whose name is Yahweh, are the Most High over all the earth. For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.

To the Overseer. -- 'On the Gittith By sons of Korah.' -- A Psalm. How beloved Thy tabernacles, Jehovah of Hosts!

I desperately want to be in the courts of the Lord's temple. My heart and my entire being shout for joy to the living God.

Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.

Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.

Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.

Passing through in the valley of Baca they will set it a fountain; also the early rain will cover the ponds.

They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.

Look at our shield, O God, and have regard for the face of your anointed one.

For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

For a sun and a shield is Jehovah God, Grace and honour doth Jehovah give. He withholdeth not good To those walking in uprightness.

O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.

To the overseer: to the sons of Korah a chanting. O Jehovah, thou didst delight in thy land: thou didst turn back the captivity of Jacob.

Will you go on being angry with us for ever? will you keep your wrath against us through all the long generations?

Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?

O Lord, show us your loyal love! Bestow on us your deliverance!

I will hear [with expectant hope] what God the Lord will say,
For He will speak peace to His people, to His godly ones—
But let them not turn again to folly.

Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.

Loyal love and faithfulness will meet one another; righteousness and peace will kiss.

Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.

Let your ears be open to my voice, O Lord, and give me an answer; for I am poor and in need.

Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.

Have mercy on me Lord, for I call on you all day long.

Bring joy to Your servant’s life,
because I turn to You, Lord.

For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.

In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.

Lord, there is no one like You among the gods,
and there are no works like Yours.

All nations whom thou hast made, Shall come in and bow down before thee, O My Lord, That they may glorify thy Name.

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

But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.

Turn to me, and have mercy on me! Give your strength to your servant. Save the son of your handmaid.

Show me a sign of [Your] goodwill,
That those who hate me may see it and be ashamed,
Because You, O Lord, helped and comforted me.

{A Psalm or Song for the sons of Korah.} His foundation is in the holy mountains.

Honourable things are spoken in Thee, O city of God. Selah.

I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon as among them that know me: Behold, Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia: This one was born there.

And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.

The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah.

As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.

{A Song, a Psalm for the sons of Korah. To the chief Musician. Upon Mahalath Leannoth. An instruction. Of Heman the Ezrahite.} Jehovah, God of my salvation, I have cried by day and in the night before thee.

My prayer cometh in before Thee, Incline Thine ear to my loud cry,

I am considered as one of those descending into the Pit, like a mighty man without strength,

Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.

Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.

Your wrath weighs heavily on me;
You have overwhelmed me with all Your waves.Selah

Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.

My eye grows dim with sorrow.
O Lord, I have called on You every day;
I have spread out my hands to You [in prayer].

Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction?

Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee.

I have been troubled and in fear of death from the time when I was young; your wrath is hard on me, and I have no strength.

Over me, have passed thy bursts of burning anger, The alarms of thee have put an end to me;

They have surrounded me like flood waters all day long;
They have completely encompassed me.

You have removed loved one and friend far from me, my acquaintances [far from my] darkness.

{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.

For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.

[God has said] “I have made a covenant with My chosen one;
I have sworn to David My servant,

I will make your seed go on for ever, your kingdom will be strong through all generations. (Selah.)

And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.

For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD?

God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.

O Jehovah God of hosts, Who is a mighty one, like unto thee, O Jehovah? And thy faithfulness is round about thee.

Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.

Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.

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

The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.

Thou hast an arm with might, Strong is Thy hand -- high Thy right hand.

The seat of your kingdom is resting on righteousness and right judging: mercy and good faith come before your face.

Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance.

In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.

For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted.

For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.

Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.

I have made discovery of David my servant; I have put my holy oil on his head.

An enemy exacteth not upon him, And a son of perverseness afflicteth him not.

But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.

I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.

I will give him an eternal dynasty, and make his throne as enduring as the skies above.

If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;

Then I will send punishment on them for their sin; my rod will be the reward of their evil-doing.

And My kindness I break not from him, Nor do I deal falsely in My faithfulness.

I will not break my covenant or go back on what I promised.

Once and for all
I have sworn an oath by My holiness;
I will not lie to David.

His seed will not come to an end for ever; the seat of his kingdom will be like the sun before me.

It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.

But [in apparent contradiction of all this] You [the faithful Lord] have cast off and rejected;
You have been full of wrath against Your anointed.

You have repudiated the covenant with your servant; you have defiled his crown in the dirt.
