Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.

Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.

Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.

Do not hand me over to the desires of my enemies; for false witnesses have risen up against me; even the one who breathes out violence.

I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

Unto thee, O Yahweh, do I cry, O my Rock! do not turn in silence from me, - lest, if thou turn from me in silence, I be like them who go down into the pit.

Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.

Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.

Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings. Give them according to the operation of their hands. Bring back on them what they deserve.

For they regard not in their mind the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands: therefore shall he break them down, and not build them up.

The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

Jehovah is their strength; and he is the stronghold of salvation to his anointed one.

Be a saviour to your people, and send a blessing on your heritage: be their guide, and let them be lifted up for ever.

Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

The voice of Jehovah is on the waters, The God of glory hath thundered, Jehovah is on many waters.

the voice of the Lord in power,
the voice of the Lord in splendor.

The voice of Jehovah breaketh the cedars; Yea, Jehovah breaketh in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of his glory.

Jehovah on the deluge hath sat, And Jehovah sitteth king -- to the age,

Sing psalms unto Jehovah, ye saints of his, and give thanks in remembrance of his holiness.

For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.

O Jehovah, in Thy good pleasure, Thou hast caused strength to remain for my mountain,' Thou hast hidden Thy face -- I have been troubled.

What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

Hear, Yahweh, and have mercy on me. Yahweh, be my helper."

So that glory shall play on the harp to thee, and shall not be silent O Jehovah my God, I will praise thee forever.

{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.} In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.

Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.

For you are my Rock and my strong tower; go in front of me and be my guide, because of your name.

I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD.

I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;

And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room.

Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.

For my life hath been consumed in sorrow And my years in sighing. Feeble because of mine iniquity hath been my strength, And my bones have become old.

Because of all my enemies I have become a reproach and disgrace,
Especially to my neighbors,
And an object of dread to my acquaintances;
Those who see me on the street run from me.

I am forgotten in their heart as a dead man; I am become like a broken vessel.

For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.

But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my God.

My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.

Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: Save me in thy lovingkindness.

Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.

Let the lying lips become dumb, which speak insolently against the righteous in pride and contempt.

Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!

Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.

Blessed be the LORD: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.

For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.

Love Yahweh, all you his faithful ones. Yahweh preserves [the] faithful but repays abundantly [the] one who acts arrogantly.

Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.

By David. -- An Instruction. O the happiness of him whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered.

Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.

When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.

When by day and by night Thy hand is heavy upon me, My moisture hath been changed Into the droughts of summer. Selah.

My sin, would I own unto thee, and, mine iniquity, not hide, I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Yahweh, And, thou, didst forgive the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.

You are my safe and secret place; you will keep me from trouble; you will put songs of salvation on the lips of those who are round me. (Selah.)

I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.

Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.

Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.

Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.

Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.

Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.

Sing to Him a new song;
Play skillfully [on the strings] with a loud and joyful sound.

For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth.

His delight is in righteousness and wisdom; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.

By the Lord's decree the heavens were made; by a mere word from his mouth all the stars in the sky were created.

He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.

Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.

The plan of Yahweh stands firm forever, the intents of his heart {from one generation to the next}.

Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

When the LORD looks down from heaven, he observes every human being.

From his dwelling place he gazes on all the inhabitants of the earth,

He is the one who forms every human heart, and takes note of all their actions.

There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.

An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.

Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;

To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.

Our own soul, hath waited for Yahweh, Our help and our shield, is he!

For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.

Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.

{A Psalm of David, when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech; who drove him away, and he departed.} I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.

I sought the Lord [on the authority of His word], and He answered me,
And delivered me from all my fears.

They had an eye unto him, and were lightened; and their faces were not ashamed.

This afflicted one called, and Jehovah heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

Keep yourselves in the fear of the Lord, all you his saints; for those who do so will have no need of anything.

The young lions are in need and suffer hunger; but they that seek Jehovah shall not want any good.

Come, children, give attention to me; I will be your teacher in the fear of the Lord.

Who [is] the man who desires life, who loves [many] days in order to see good?

The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and His ears are open to their cry for help.

(The face of Jehovah is on doers of evil, To cut off from earth their memorial.)

When the righteous cry [for help], the Lord hears
And rescues them from all their distress and troubles.

Yahweh [is] near to [those who are] heartbroken and saves [those who are] crushed in spirit.

Many adversities come to the one who is righteous,
but the Lord delivers him from them all.

He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.

Evil will put an end to the sinner, and those who are haters of righteousness will come to destruction.

The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.
