But as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.

My tears have been my bread day and night, while they say unto me all the day, Where is thy God?

Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy cataracts; all thy breakers and thy billows are gone over me.

As with a crushing in my bones mine adversaries reproach me, while they say unto me all the day, Where is thy God?

Send out thy light and thy truth: they shall lead me, they shall bring me to thy holy mount, and unto thy habitations.

Thou, by thy hand, didst dispossess the nations, but them thou didst plant; thou didst afflict the peoples, but them didst thou cause to spread out.

For not by their own sword did they take possession of the land, neither did their own arm save them; but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst delight in them.

Through thee will we push down our adversaries; through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.

In God will we boast all the day, and we will praise thy name for ever. Selah.

Thou hast sold thy people for nought, and hast not increased thy wealth by their price;

All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely against thy covenant:

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

But for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are reckoned as sheep for slaughter.

Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression?

Rise up for our help, and redeem us for thy loving-kindness' sake.

Thou art fairer than the sons of men; grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O mighty one, in thy majesty and thy splendour;

And in thy splendour ride prosperously, because of truth and meekness and righteousness: and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.

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

Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness; therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy companions.

Myrrh and aloes, cassia, are all thy garments; out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee glad.

Kings' daughters are among thine honourable women; upon thy right hand doth stand the queen in gold of Ophir.

Hearken, daughter, and see, and incline thine ear; and forget thine own people and thy father's house:

And the king will desire thy beauty; for he is thy Lord, and worship thou him.

And the daughter of Tyre with a gift, the rich ones among the people, shall court thy favour.

Instead of thy fathers shall be thy sons; princes shalt thou make them in all the earth.

I will make thy name to be remembered throughout all generations; therefore shall the peoples praise thee for ever and ever.

We have thought, O God, of thy loving-kindness, in the midst of thy temple.

According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.

Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.

Hear, my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify unto thee: I am God, thy God.

I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices, or thy burnt-offerings, continually before me;

I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he-goats out of thy folds:

Offer unto God thanksgiving, and perform thy vows unto the Most High;

But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant into thy mouth,

When thou sawest a thief, thou didst take pleasure in him, and thy portion was with adulterers;

Thou lettest thy mouth loose to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit;

Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother, thou revilest thine own mother's son:

{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.

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.

Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not the spirit of thy holiness from me.

Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and let a willing spirit sustain me.

I will teach transgressors thy ways, and sinners shall return unto thee.

Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

Lord, open my lips, and my mouth shall declare thy praise.

Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion; build the walls of Jerusalem.

Thy tongue deviseth mischievous things, like a sharp razor, practising deceit.

God shall likewise destroy thee for ever; he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of thy tent, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah.

I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it; and I will wait on thy name, before thy godly ones, for it is good.

{To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments: an instruction. Of David; when the Ziphites came, and said to Saul, Is not David hiding himself with us?} O God, by thy name save me, and by thy strength do me justice.

He will requite evil to mine enemies: in thy truth cut them off.

I will freely sacrifice unto thee; I will praise thy name, O Jehovah, because it is good.

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

Thou countest my wanderings; put my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?

Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render thanks unto thee.

{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.

Be exalted above the heavens, O God; let thy glory be above all the earth!

For thy loving-kindness is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.

Be exalted above the heavens, O God; let thy glory be above all the earth!

Slay them not, lest my people forget; by thy power make them wander, and bring them down, O Lord, our shield.

But as for me, I will sing of thy strength; yea, I will sing aloud of thy loving-kindness in the morning; for thou hast been to me a high fortress, and a refuge in the day of my trouble.

Thou hast shewn thy people hard things; thou hast made us to drink the wine of bewilderment.

That thy beloved ones may be delivered. Save with thy right hand, and answer me.

I will sojourn in thy tent for ever; I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. Selah.

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

So will I sing forth thy name for ever, performing my vows from day to day.

To see thy power and thy glory, as I have beheld thee in the sanctuary;

For thy loving-kindness is better than life: my lips shall praise thee.

So will I bless thee while I live; I will lift up my hands in thy name.

For thou hast been my help, and in the shadow of thy wings will I sing for joy.

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

Blessed is he whom thou choosest and causest to approach: he shall dwell in thy courts. We shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, of thy holy temple.

And they that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens; thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.

Thou crownest the year with thy goodness, and thy paths drop fatness:

Say unto God, How terrible are thy works! because of the greatness of thy strength, thine enemies come cringing unto thee.

All the earth shall worship thee, and sing psalms unto thee: they shall sing forth thy name. Selah.

I will go into thy house with burnt-offerings; I will perform my vows to thee,

That thy way may be known upon earth, thy salvation among all nations.

O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness (Selah) --

Thy flock hath dwelt therein: thou hast prepared in thy goodness, for the afflicted, O God!

That thou mayest dip thy foot in blood: the tongue of thy dogs has its portion from enemies.

They have seen thy goings, O God, the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.

Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.

Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee.

Terrible art thou, O God, out of thy sanctuaries, the God of Israel! He it is that giveth strength and might unto the people. Blessed be God!

Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; confusion hath covered my face.

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

But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, Jehovah, in an acceptable time: O God, in the abundance of thy loving-kindness answer me, according to the truth of thy salvation:

Answer me, O Jehovah; for thy loving-kindness is good: according to the abundance of thy tender mercies, turn toward me;

And hide not thy face from thy servant, for I am in trouble: answer me speedily.

Add iniquity unto their iniquity, and let them not come into thy righteousness.

But I am afflicted and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me secure on high.

Let all those that seek thee be glad and rejoice in thee, and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified!

Deliver me in thy righteousness, and rescue me; incline thine ear unto me, and save me.

My mouth shall be filled with thy praise, with thy glory, all the day.

My mouth shall declare thy righteousness, and thy salvation all the day: for I know not the numbers thereof.

I will go in the might of the Lord Jehovah; I will recall thy righteousness, thine alone.

O God, thou hast taught me from my youth, and hitherto have I proclaimed thy marvellous works:

Now also, when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not, until I have proclaimed thine arm unto this generation, thy might to every one that is to come.
