I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: Thy years are throughout all generations.

The children of thy servants shall continue, And their seed shall be established before thee.

Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; That they turn not again to cover the earth.

Let thy meditation be sweet unto him: I will rejoice in Jehovah.

O ye seed of Abraham his servant, Ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.

They set among them his signs, And wonders in the land of Ham.

Therefore he said that he would destroy them, Had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, To turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them .

And that he would overthrow their seed among the nations, And scatter them in the lands.

Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, Being bound in affliction and iron,

Let them exalt him also in the assembly of the people, And praise him in the seat of the elders.

Set thou a wicked man over him; And let an adversary stand at his right hand.

Jehovah saith unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, Until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

His seed shall be mighty upon earth: The generation of the upright shall be blessed.

Who is like unto Jehovah our God, That hath his seat on high,

That he may set him with princes, Even with the princes of his people.

I said in my haste, All men are liars.

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

Out of my distress I called upon Jehovah: Jehovah answered me and set me in a large place.

Jehovah is on my side; I will not fear: What can man do unto me?

Jehovah is on my side among them that help me: Therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.

Princes also sat and talked against me; But thy servant did meditate on thy statutes.

I have chosen the way of faithfulness: Thine ordinances have I set before me .

HHETH. Jehovah is my portion: I have said that I would observe thy words.

How sweet are thy words unto my taste! Yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!

Thou hast set at nought all them that err from thy statutes; For their deceit is falsehood.

I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go unto the house of Jehovah.

For there are set thrones for judgment, The thrones of the house of David.

If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, Let Israel now say,

If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, When men rose up against us;

Then was our mouth filled with laughter, And our tongue with singing: Then said they among the nations, Jehovah hath done great things for them.

He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing seed for sowing, Shall doubtless come again with joy, bringing his sheaves with him .

Jehovah hath sworn unto David in truth; He will not turn from it: Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.

If thy children will keep my covenant And my testimony that I shall teach them, Their children also shall sit upon thy throne for evermore.

By the rivers of Babylon, There we sat down, yea, we wept, When we remembered Zion.

Remember, O Jehovah, against the children of Edom The day of Jerusalem; Who said, Rase it, rase it, Even to the foundation thereof.

The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; They have spread a net by the wayside; They have set gins for me. Selah

I said unto Jehovah, Thou art my God: Give ear unto the voice of my supplications, O Jehovah.

Let my prayer be set forth as incense before thee; The lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

Set a watch, O Jehovah, before my mouth; Keep the door of my lips.

Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock; And they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.

I cried unto thee, O Jehovah; I said, Thou art my refuge, My portion in the land of the living.

And enter not into judgment with thy servant; For in thy sight no man living is righteous.
