And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it.

All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.

{To the chief Musician, Maschil, for the sons of Korah.} As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.

I remember this as I pour out my heart:
how I walked with many,
leading the festive procession to the house of God,
with joyful and thankful shouts.

{To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, Maschil.} We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.

Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way;

Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.

{To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of Korah, Maschil, A Song of loves.} My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the people fall under thee.

Therefore will we not fear, though the earth do change, And though the mountains be shaken into the heart of the seas;

As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. Selah.

Set your heart to her bulwark, Consider her high places, So that ye recount to a later generation,

My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.

Their heart is: Their houses are to the age, Their tabernacles to all generations. They proclaimed their names over the lands.

Have pity on me, O God, in your mercy; out of a full heart, take away my sin.

Behold, You desire truth in the innermost being,
And in the hidden part [of my heart] You will make me know wisdom.

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

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

Thou lovest to speak all words that may do hurt, O thou false tongue.

{To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, A Psalm of David.} The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.

An offering of a free heart will I give thee, and praise thy name, O LORD, because it is so comfortable.

My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.

By day and night they go round the town, on the walls; trouble and sorrow are in the heart of it.

Let death deceive them. May they descend to Sheol alive, because evil [is] in their home [and] {heart}.

At evening and morning and high noon, have I been wont to lament and complain, And he hath heard my voice!

God will hear and humble them,
Even He who sits enthroned from old— Selah.
Because in them there has been no change [of heart],
And they do not fear God [at all].

The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.

All day long they twist my words and say hurtful things;
All their thoughts are against me for evil.

My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.

Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.

Behold, they will gush out with their mouth: swords in their lips: for who heard?

You have made the people see hard times; you have given us the wine of shaking for our drink.

Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment.

From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.

Only -- from his excellency They have consulted to drive away, They enjoy a lie, with their mouth they bless, And with their heart revile. Selah.

Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.

Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.

My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.

These also that seek the hurt of my soul, they shall go under the earth.

That they may privily hurt the innocent, and suddenly hit him without any fear.

They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.

The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.

Thou waterest her furrows, thou breakest the hard clots thereof, thou makest it soft with the drops of rain, and blessest the increase of it.

O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard:

If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:

But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

Give thanks, O Israel, unto God the LORD in the congregations, from the ground of the heart.

Rebuke the beasts [living] among the reeds [in Egypt],
The herd of bulls (the leaders) with the calves of the peoples;
Trampling underfoot the pieces of silver;
He has scattered the peoples who delight in war.

I am on fire with passion for your house; and the hard things which are said about you have come on me.

Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.

For they persecute him whom you have wounded. They tell of the sorrow of those whom you have hurt.

So shall it be more pleasing to Yahweh than a bullock of the herd, Showing horn and divided hoof.

The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.

For Jehovah heard to the needy, and he despised not his hound.

Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.

Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.

My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt.

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

Of the toil of weak mortals, have they none, Nor, with the sons of earth, are they hard smitten.

Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.

Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency.

Then thought I to understand this; but it was too hard for me,

Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.

My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.

They said in their heart, Let us make havoc of them altogether: They have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.

Thou bringest out fountains and waters out of the hard rocks; thou driest up mighty rivers.

Spoiled themselves have the mighty of heart, They have slept their sleep, And none of the men of might found their hands.

Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,

{To the Chanter, for Jeduthun, a Psalm of Asaph} I cried unto God with my voice; yea, even unto God cried I with my voice, and he heard me.

In the day of my trouble, my heart was turned to the Lord: my hand was stretched out in the night without resting; my soul would not be comforted.

When I was in heaviness, I thought upon God: when my heart was vexed, then did I speak. Selah.

I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.

Your thunderous voice was heard in the wind; the lightning bolts lit up the world; the earth trembled and shook.

Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.

And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.

He clove the hard rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink thereof, as it had been out of the great depth.

And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.

Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;

For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.

Then he led out his people like sheep and guided them like a herd in the wilderness.

When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:

So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.

This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not.

When thou calledest upon me in trouble, I delivered thee, and heard thee, what time as the storm fell upon thee. I proved thee also at the waters of strife. Selah.

And my people heard not to my voice; and Israel was not inclined to me.

So I let them go after the stubbornness of their heart, That they might walk in their own counsels.

Would that my people heard to me! Israel shall go in my ways.

For they have consulted together with one heart: they have made an alliance together against thee.

My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.

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

O God, let your eyes be on him who is our safe cover, and let your heart be turned to your king.

I will hear, what GOD - Yahweh - will speak, - For he will bespeak prosperity to his people, And to his men of lovingkindness, And to them who return with their heart unto him.

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

I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.

Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah.

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.

The enemy shall not overcome him, and the son of wickedness shall not hurt him.

Remember, O Lord, the reproach of Your servants [scorned, insulted, and disgraced];
How I bear in my heart the reproach of all the many peoples,
