If I were hungry I would not tell you, because [the] world and its fullness [are] mine.

Pray to me when you are in trouble! I will deliver you, and you will honor me!"

When you see a thief, then you are pleased with him, and your association [is] with adulterers.

Understand this, I pray you, Ye who are forgetting God, Lest I tear, and there is no deliverer.

Against you, only you, I have sinned and have done this evil in your eyes, so that you are correct when you speak, you are blameless when you judge.

Indeed, you are pleased with truth in the inner person, and you will teach me wisdom in my innermost parts.

For you do not delight [in] sacrifice or I would give [it]. [With] a burnt offering you are not pleased.

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

I will continually thank you when you execute judgment; I will rely on you, for your loyal followers know you are good.

{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.

God looks down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there are any who understood, who seek after God.

Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Are the workers of iniquity, without knowledge? Devouring my people, as they devour food? Upon God, have they not called.

There {they are very fearful} [where] no fear had been, because God has scattered the bones of him who encamps [against] you. You have put [them] to shame, because God has rejected them.

For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.

Look, God is my helper; the Lord is with those who are guarding my life.

I am troubled because of the voice of the cruel ones, because of the loud cry of the evil-doers; for they put a weight of evil on me, and they are cruel in their hate for me.

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

Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.

Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it.

Mischiefs are in its midst. Fraud and deceit depart not from its street.

Desolations are upon them, They go down to Sheol -- alive, For wickedness is in their dwelling, in their midst.

He safely redeems my life from [the] battle against me, because [those standing] against me are among many.

God will give thought to me; he who from early times is strong will send pain and trouble on them. (Selah.) Because they are unchanged, they have no fear of God.

He hath put forth his hands against such as are at peace with him; he hath profaned his covenant.

Sweeter than honey hath been his mouth, And his heart is war! Softer have been his words than oil, And they are drawn swords.

But you, O God, will send them down into the underworld; the cruel and the false will be cut off before half their days are ended; but I will have faith in you.

For the music director; according to the yonath-elem-rechovim style; a prayer of David, written when the Philistines captured him in Gath. Have mercy on me, O God, for men are attacking me! All day long hostile enemies are tormenting me.

Mine enemies have swallowed up all the day, For many are fighting against me, O most High,

Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil.

They conspire and lurk, watching my steps, they are eager to take my life.

Because they are bent on violence, do not let them escape! In your anger bring down the nations, O God!

Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?

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

For thou deliveredst my soul from death: are not my feet from falling, to go about before God in the light of the living?

To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, Michtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave. Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yes, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities are overpast.

My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.

They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves. Selah.

You are my glory; let the instruments of music be awake; I myself will be awake with the dawn.

For Your faithfulness and lovingkindness are great, reaching to the heavens,
And Your truth to the clouds.

Is there righteousness in your mouths, O you gods? are you upright judges, O you sons of men?

The purposes of your hearts are evil; your hands are full of cruel doings on the earth.

The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.

Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;

Who will not be moved by the voice of the wonder-worker, however great are his powers.

They are melted as waters, They go up and down for themselves, His arrow proceedeth as they cut themselves off.

Before they are conscious of it, let them be cut down like thorns; let a strong wind take them away like waste growth.

Then observers will say, "Yes indeed, the godly are rewarded! Yes indeed, there is a God who judges in the earth!"

For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD.

I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me. Rise up, behold, and help me!

And you, Yahweh, God [of] hosts, [are] the God of Israel. Rouse yourself to punish all the nations. Do not be gracious to any [who] treacherously plot evil. Selah

Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear?

But you are laughing at them, O Lord; you will make sport of all the nations.

O my strength, I will watch for you, because [you], O God, [are] my (high) stronghold.

The sin of their mouth is a word of their lips, And they are captured in their pride, And from the curse and lying they recount.

Consume in fury, consume and they are not, And they know that God is ruling in Jacob, To the ends of the earth. Selah.

They -- they wander for food, If they are not satisfied -- then they murmur.

As for me, I will sing about your strength; I will praise your loyal love in the morning. For you are my refuge and my place of shelter when I face trouble.

You are my source of strength! I will sing praises to you! For God is my refuge, the God who loves me.

Aren't you the one, God, who has cast us off? Didn't you refuse, God, to accompany our armies?

Indeed, you are my shelter, a strong tower that protects me from the enemy.

Till when do ye devise mischief against a man? Ye are destroyed all of you, As a wall inclined, a hedge that is cast down.

They only plan to thrust [him] down from his high position; they are pleased [with] deception. With their mouths they bless, but {inwardly} they curse. Selah

For God alone my soul waits in silence and quietly submits to Him,
For my hope is from Him.

Upon God, depend my salvation and mine honour, My rock of strength, my refuge, are in God.

Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.

One thing, hath God spoken, Two things, there are which I have heard, That, power, belongeth unto God;

O God, you [are] my God; I will seek you diligently. My soul thirsts for you; my flesh longs for you [as] in a dry and weary land without water.

For you are my deliverer; under your wings I rejoice.

They cause him to run on the edge of the sword, A portion for foxes they are.

O God, let the voice of my grief come to your ear: keep my life from the fear of those who are against me.

Who make their tongues sharp like a sword, and whose arrows are pointed, even bitter words;

in order to shoot down the innocent in secluded places. They shoot at him suddenly and are unafraid of retaliation.

They search out perverse things, 'We perfected a searching search,' And the inward part of man, and the heart are deep.

But God will shoot an arrow at them: suddenly are they wounded;

By their own tongue they are made to fall over one another: all that see them shall flee away.

The righteous man shall rejoice Yahweh, and seek refuge in him, Then shall glory - all who are upright in heart.

For the music director; a psalm of David, a song. Praise awaits you, O God, in Zion. Vows made to you are fulfilled.

Things of iniquity are mightier than I; as for our transgressions, You shall purge them away.

O the happiness of him whom Thou choosest, And drawest near, he inhabiteth Thy courts, We are satisfied with the goodness of Thy house, Thy holy temple.

By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:

The God by whose strength the mountains are fixed; who is robed with power:

They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.

They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness, and the hills are girded with gladness.

The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.

Say to God, 'How fearful are Thy works, By the abundance of Thy strength, Thine enemies feign obedience to Thee.

Come and witness God's exploits! His acts on behalf of people are awesome!

He is ruling in power for ever; his eyes are watching the nations: may his haters have no strength against him. (Selah.)

Come! Listen, all you who are loyal to God! I will declare what he has done for me.

Then those living on earth will know what you are like; all nations will know how you deliver your people.

To the Overseer. -- A Psalm, a song of David. Rise doth God -- scattered are His enemies! And those hating Him flee from His face.

As smoke is driven away by the wind, so you drive them away. As wax melts before fire, so the wicked are destroyed before God.

But the godly are happy; they rejoice before God and are overcome with joy.

God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.

O God, you cause abundant showers to fall on your chosen people. When they are tired, you sustain them,

The Lord doth give the saying, The female proclaimers are a numerous host.

When you lie down among the sheepfolds, the wings of the dove are covered with silver and with glittering gold.

The mountains of Bashan are majestic mountains. The mountains of Bashan are rugged.

Why are you looking with envy, you high hills, on the hill desired by God as his resting-place? truly, God will make it his house for ever.

The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place.
