"Gather my saints together unto me, those that set more by the covenant than by any offering."

If I be hungry, I will not tell thee: for the whole world is mine, and all that therein is.

Thinkest thou that I will eat the flesh of oxen, or drink the blood of goats?

This thou doest, while I hold my tongue: and thinkest wickedly that I am even such a one as thyself; but I will reprove thee, and set before thee the things that thou hast done.

O consider this, ye that forget God, lest I pluck you away, and there be none to deliver you.

Whoso offereth me thanks and praise, he honoureth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation right, will I show the salvation of God."

Against thee only have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight, that thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and clear when thou shalt judge.

Oh let me hear of joy and gladness, that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

Then shall I teach thy ways unto the wicked, that sinners may be converted unto thee.

Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, thou that art the God of my health; that my tongue may praise thy righteousness.

Open my lips, O LORD, that my mouth may show thy praise.

{To the Chanter, an exhortation of David when Doeg the Edomite came to Saul, and showed him, saying: David is come to the house of Abimelech} Thy boastest thou thyself, thou tyrant, that thou canst do mischief, whereas the goodness of God endureth yet daily?

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

"Lo, this is the man that took not God for his strength, but trusted unto the multitude of his riches, and was mighty in his wickedness!"

I will always give thanks unto thee, for that thou hast done: and I will hope in thy name, for thy saints like it well.

{To the Chanter, upon Mahalath, an instruction of David} The foolish bodies say in their hearts, "Tush, there is no God." Corrupt are they, and become abominable in their wickednesses, there is not one that doeth good.

God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that would understand, or seek after God.

But they are all gone out of the way, they are altogether become abominable. There is none that doeth good, no not one.

How can they have understanding, that are the workers of wickedness, eating up my people as it were bread, and calling not upon God?

They are afraid where no fear is; for God breaketh the bones of them that besiege thee. Thou hast put them to confusion, because God hath despised them.

O that the salvation were given unto Israel out of Zion! O that the LORD would deliver his people out of captivity! Then should Jacob rejoice, and Israel should be right glad.

But lo, God is my helper: it is he that upholdeth my soul.

For thou hast delivered me out of all my trouble, so that mine eye seeth his desire upon mine enemies.

And I said, "O that I had wings like a dove! For then would I flee away, and be at rest.

If it were mine enemy that reviled me, I could bear it: or if one that ought me evil will did threaten me, I would hide myself from him.

It is he that delivereth my soul in peace from them that lay wait for me; for they are many against me.

Yea, even God, that endureth forever, shall hear me, and bring them down; Selah. For they will not turn, nor fear God.

Mine enemies are daily at hand to swallow me up; for they be many that fight against me, O thou Most Highest.

They vex me daily in my words: all that they imagine is to do me evil.

Whensoever I call upon thee, then shall mine enemies be put to flight; whereby I know that thou art my God.

For thou hast delivered my soul from death, and my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living.

I will call unto the Most High God, even unto the God that shall perform the cause which I have in hand.

He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproof of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and truth.

{To the Chanter, Michtam of David} If your minds be upon righteousness in deed, then judge the thing that is right, O ye sons of men.

They are as venomous as the poison of a serpent, even like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ears,

that she should not hear the voice of the charmer, charm he never so wisely.

Let them fall away like water that runneth a pace; and when they shoot their arrows, let them be rooted out.

So that men shall say, "Verily there is a reward for the righteous! Doubtless, there is a God that judgeth the earth!"

{To the Chanter, Destroy Not, Michtam of David, when Saul sent to watch the house, to the intent to kill him} Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God, and defend me from them that rise up against me.

Stand up, O LORD God of Hosts, thou God of Israel, to visit all Heathen; be not merciful unto them that offend of malicious wickedness. Selah.

Consume them in thy wrath; consume them that they may perish, and know that it is God which ruleth in Jacob and in all the world. Selah.

{To the chanter, upon the rose of witness, Michtam of David, for to teach: when he fought against Mesopotamia, and Syria of Zoba: and when Joab turned back, and slew twelve thousand Edomites in the valley of Salt} O God, thou hast cast us out and scattered us abroad; thou that hast been so sore displeased at us, comfort us again.

Thou that hast moved the land, and divided it; heal the sores thereof, for it shaketh.

Yet hast thou given a token, for such as fear thee, that they may triumph because of the truth. Selah.

That thy beloved might be delivered, help them with thy righthand, and hear me.

Shall not thou do it, O God, thou that hast cast us out? Wilt not thou, O God, go out with our hosts?

Through God will we do great acts, for it is he that shall tread down our enemies.

From the ends of the earth will I call unto thee, when my heart is in heaviness. O set me up upon the rock that is higher than I;

For thou, O LORD, hast heard my desires, and hast given a heritage unto those that fear thy name.

Thou shalt grant the king a long life; that his years may endure throughout all generations,

that he may dwell before God for ever. O prepare thy loving mercy and faithfulness, that they may preserve him.

So will I always sing praise unto thy name, that I may daily perform my vows.

He only is my strength, my salvation, my defense, so that I shall not greatly fall.

He only is my strength, my salvation, my defense: so that I shall not fall.

God spoke once, and twice I have also heard the same, that power belongeth unto God,

and that thou, LORD, art merciful; for thou rewardest every man according to his work.

Thus do I look for thee in thy Sanctuary, that I might behold thy power and glory.

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

But the king shall rejoice in God; all they that swear by him shall be commended, for the mouth of liars shall be stopped.

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

But God shall suddenly shoot with a swift arrow, that they shall be wounded.

Yea, their own tongues shall make them fall, insomuch that whoso seeth them, shall laugh them to scorn.

And all men that see it shall say, "This hath God done!" For they shall perceive that it is his work.

The righteous shall rejoice in the LORD, and put his trust in him; and all they that are true of heart, shall be glad.

Thou that hearest the prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.

Thou shalt show us wonderful things in thy righteousness, O God of our salvation, thou that art the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of them that remain in the broad sea -

They that dwell in the uttermost parts of the earth shall be afraid at thy tokens; thou makest both the morning and evening stars to praise thee.

The folds shall be full of sheep; the valleys also shall stand so thick with corn, that they shall laugh and sing.

He turned the sea into dry land, so that they went through the water on foot; there did we rejoice thereof.

O come hither and hearken, all ye that fear God; and I will tell you what he hath done for my soul.

That we may know thy way upon earth, thy saving health among all heathen.

{To the Chanter, a Psalm and song of David} Let God arise, and let his enemies be scattered; let them also that hate him flee before him.

O sing unto God, sing praises to his name; magnify him that rideth upon the heavens, as it were upon a horse. Praise him in his name Jah, and rejoice before him.

He is the God that maketh men to be of one mind in a house, and bringeth the prisoners out of captivity, but letteth the renegades continue in scarceness.

Though ye have lain among the sheep-folds, yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove that is covered with silver wings, and her feathers like gold.

Thou art gone up on high; thou hast led captivity captive, and received gifts for men, yea, even for thine enemies, that the LORD God might dwell among them.

that thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and that thy dogs may lick it up."

Thy God hath committed strength unto thee; establish the thing, O God, that thou hast wrought in us,

Reprove the beasts among the reeds, the heap of bulls with the calves, those that drive for money. O scatter thou the people that delight in war.

who sitteth in the heavens over all from the beginning. Lo, he doth send out his voice, yea and that a mighty voice.

I stick fast in the deep mire, where no ground is; I am come into deep waters, so that the floods run over me.

They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head; they that are mine enemies, and would destroy me guiltless, are mighty. I paid them the things that I never took.

Let not them that trust in thee, O LORD God of hosts, be ashamed for my cause; let not those that seek thee, be confounded through me, O LORD God of Israel.

For the zeal of thine house hath even eaten me; and the rebukes of them that rebuked thee is fallen upon me.

I wept, and chastened myself with fasting, and that was turned to my reproof.

They that sit in the gate speak against me, and the drunkards make songs upon me.

Take me out of the mire, that I sink not; Oh let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.

Let their table be made a snare to take themselves withal; and let the things that should have been for their wealth be unto them an occasion of falling.

Let their eyes be blinded, that they see not; and ever bow down their backs.

This shall please the LORD better than a bullock, that hath horns and hoofs.

O consider this and be glad, ye that be in adversity: seek after God and your soul shall live.

Let heaven and earth praise him, the sea, and all that moveth therein.

For God will save Zion, and build the cities of Judah, that men may dwell there, and have it in possession.

The seed of his servants shall inherit it, and they that love his name shall dwell therein.

Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul; let them be turned backward, and put to confusion that wish me evil.

Let them soon be brought to shame, that cry over me, "There! there!"

But let all those that seek thee be joyful and glad in thee, and let all such as delight in thy salvation say always, "The LORD be praised."

For thou, O LORD God, art the thing that I long for; thou art my hope even from my youth.

I have leaned upon thee ever since I was born; thou art he that took me out of my mother's womb, therefore is my praise always of thee.

O let my mouth be filled with thy praise, that I may sing of thy glory and honour all the day long.
