Jehovah knows the days of the upright, and their inheritance shall be forever.

They shall not be ashamed in the evil time; and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

But the wicked shall pass, and the enemies of Jehovah shall be like the beauty of pastures; they are consumed, like smoke they perish.

For His blessed ones shall inherit the earth; and those cursed by Him shall be cut off.

The steps of a good man are ordered by Jehovah; and He delights in his way.

Though he fall, he shall not be cast down; for Jehovah upholds his hand.

For Jehovah loves judgment and does not forsake His saints; they are kept forever; but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

Jehovah will not leave him in his hand, nor allow him to be found guilty when he is judged.

Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not; and I looked for him, but he could not be found.

And my enemies are lively; they are strong; and my haters increase by deception.

Forsake me not, O Jehovah; O my God, be not far from me.

Remove Your stroke away from me; I am destroyed by the blow of Your hand.

Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, and give ear to my cry. Do not be silent at my tears; for I am a stranger with You, a pilgrim, as all my fathers were.

Look away from me, and I will smile before I go away and be no more.

O Jehovah my God, many things You have done, Your wonderful works and Your thoughts which are toward us; they cannot be set in order to You; I will declare and speak, for they are more than can be numbered.

Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me; O Jehovah, make haste to help me.

Let them be ashamed and humbled together, those who seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame, those who wish me evil.

Let them be desolate as a reward for their shame, those who say to me, Aha, aha!

Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You, and the ones loving your salvation always say, Let Jehovah be magnified.

Jehovah will watch over him and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed on the earth; and You will not deliver him to the soul of his enemies.

I said, Jehovah, be merciful to me; heal my soul; for I have sinned against You.

But You, O Jehovah, be merciful to me, and raise me up, so that I may repay them.

By this I know that You delight in me, because my enemy does not triumph over me.

Jehovah will command His loving-kindness in the daytime, and in the night His song shall be with me, my prayer to the God of my life.

For they did not get the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them; but it was Your right hand, and Your arm, and the light of Your face, because You favored them.

For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.

You have sold Your people for nothing, and You did not increase by their price.

All Your garments smell of myrrh, and aloes and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, by which they have made You glad.

Listen, O daughter, and look; and bow down your ear; and forget your own people and your father's house.

They shall be led with joy and gladness; they shall enter into the King's palace.

Your sons shall be in the place of your fathers; you will make them princes in all the land.

I will make Your name to be remembered in all generations; therefore the people shall praise You forever and ever.

Now think of this, you who forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.

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

Then I will teach transgressors Your ways; and sinners shall be converted to You.

Then shall You be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering; then they shall offer bulls on Your altar.

To the Chief Musician. Do not destroy. A secret treasure of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave. Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me; for my soul trusts in You; yea, in the shadow of Your wings I will make my hiding-place, until these great troubles pass by.

My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips,

They shall fall by the sword; they shall be a serving for jackals.

But the king shall rejoice in God; everyone who swears by Him shall glory; but the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped.
