I will bless the LORD at all times. His praise will always be in my mouth.

Oh magnify the LORD with me. Let us exalt his name together.

I sought the LORD, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.

The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them.

Oh taste and see that the LORD is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

Oh fear the LORD, you his holy ones, for there is no lack with those who fear him.

The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger, but those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing.

Come, you children, listen to me. I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

Who is someone who desires life, and loves many days, that he may see good?

The LORD's face is against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth.

The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit.

Evil shall kill the wicked. Those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.

The LORD redeems the soul of his servants. None of those who take refuge in him shall be condemned.

Contend, LORD, with those who contend with me. Fight against those who fight against me.

Brandish the spear and block those who pursue me. Tell my soul, "I am your salvation."

Let those who seek after my soul be disappointed and brought to dishonor. Let those who plot my ruin be turned back and confounded.

Let their way be dark and slippery, The LORD's angel pursuing them.

For without cause they have hidden their net in a pit for me. Without cause they have dug a pit for my soul.

All my bones shall say, "LORD, who is like you, who delivers the poor from him who is too strong for him; yes, the poor and the needy from him who robs him?"

Unrighteous witnesses rise up. They ask me about things that I do not know about.

But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth. I afflicted my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into my own bosom.

I behaved myself as though it had been my friend or my brother. I bowed down mourning, as one who mourns his mother.

But in my adversity, they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together. The attackers gathered themselves together against me, and I did not know it. They tore at me, and did not cease.

Lord, how long will you look on? Rescue my soul from their destruction, my precious life from the lions.

I will give you thanks in the great assembly. I will praise you among many people.

Do not let those who are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me; neither let those who hate me without a cause and wink their eyes.

For they do not speak peace, but they devise deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land.

Yes, they opened their mouth wide against me. They said, "Aha. Aha. Our eye has seen it."

You have seen it, LORD. Do not keep silent. Lord, do not be far from me.

Do not let them say in their heart, "Aha. That's the way we want it." Do not let them say, "We have swallowed him up."

Let them be disappointed and confounded together who rejoice at my calamity. Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves against me.

Let them shout for joy and be glad, who favor my righteous cause. And let them say continually, "The LORD be magnified, who delights in the peace of his servant."

He plots iniquity on his bed. He sets himself in a way that is not good. He doesn't abhor evil.

Your righteousness is like the mountains of God. Your judgments are like a great deep. LORD, you preserve man and animal.

They shall be abundantly satisfied with the abundance of your house. You will make them drink of the river of your pleasures.

For with you is the spring of life. In your light shall we see light.

Oh continue your loving kindness to those who know you, your righteousness to the upright in heart.

Do not let the foot of pride come against me. Do not let the hand of the wicked drive me away.

Do not fret because of evildoers, neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness.

Also delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Commit your way to the LORD. Trust also in him, and he will act.

Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him. Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who makes wicked plots happen.

For evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for the LORD shall inherit the land.

For yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more. Yes, though you look for his place, he isn't there.

The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, to kill those who are upright in the way.

Better is a little that the righteous has, than the abundance of many wicked.

For such as are blessed by him shall inherit the land. Those who are cursed by him shall be cut off.

The steps of a man are established by the LORD, and he delights in his way.

I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his children begging for bread.

Wait for the LORD, and keep his way, and he will exalt you to inherit the land. When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.

I have seen the wicked in great power, spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.

But he passed away, and behold, he was not. Yes, I sought him, but he could not be found.

Mark the perfect man, and see the upright, for there is a future for the man of peace.

For my iniquities have gone over my head. As a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.

I am pained and bowed down greatly. I go mourning all day long.

I am faint and severely bruised. I have groaned by reason of the anguish of my heart.

Lord, all my desire is before you. My groaning is not hidden from you.

My loved ones and my friends keep their distance because of my affliction. My kinsmen stand far away.

They also who seek after my life lay snares. Those who seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and meditate deceits all day long.

But I, as a deaf man, do not hear. I am as a mute man who doesn't open his mouth.

Yes, I am as a man who doesn't hear, in whose mouth are no reproofs.

For in you, LORD, do I hope. You will answer, Lord my God.

For I said, "Do not let them gloat over me, or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips."

For I am ready to fall. My pain is continually before me.

For I will declare my iniquity. I will be sorry for my sin.

But my enemies are vigorous and many. Those who hate me without reason are numerous.

They who also render evil for good are adversaries to me, because I follow what is good.

I said, "I will watch my ways, so that I do not sin with my tongue. I will keep my mouth with a bridle while the wicked is before me."

I was mute with silence. I held my peace, even from good. My sorrow was stirred.

My heart was hot within me. While I meditated, the fire burned: I spoke with my tongue:

"LORD, show me my end, what is the measure of my days. Let me know how frail I am.

Behold, you have made my days handbreadths. My lifetime is as nothing before you. Surely every man stands as a breath." Selah.

"Surely every man walks like a shadow. Surely they busy themselves in vain. He heaps up, and doesn't know who shall gather.

Now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in you.

I was mute. I did not open my mouth, because you did it.

Remove your scourge away from me. I am overcome by the blow of your hand.

When you rebuke and correct man for iniquity, You consume his wealth like a moth. Surely every man is but a breath." Selah.

"Hear my prayer, LORD, and give ear to my cry. Do not be silent at my tears. For I am a stranger with you, a foreigner, as all my fathers were.

Oh spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go away, and exist no more."

I waited patiently for the LORD. He turned to me, and heard my cry.

He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay. He set my feet on a rock, and gave me a firm place to stand.

He has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God. Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.

Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his trust, and doesn't respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

Many, LORD, my God, are the wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are toward us. They can't be declared back to you. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you have prepared for me. You have not required burnt offering and sin offering.

Then I said, "Behold, I have come. It is written about me in the scroll of a book.

I delight to do your will, my God. Yes, your Law is within my heart."

I have proclaimed glad news of righteousness in the great assembly. Behold, I will not seal my lips, LORD, you know.

I have not hidden your righteousness within my heart. I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation. I have not concealed your loving kindness and your truth from the great assembly.

For innumerable evils have surrounded me. My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up. They are more than the hairs of my head. My heart has failed me.

Let them be disappointed and confounded together who seek after my soul to destroy it. Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt.

Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let such as love your salvation say continually, "Let the LORD be exalted."

But I am poor and needy. May the Lord think about me. You are my help and my deliverer. Do not delay, my God.

Blessed is he who considers the poor. The LORD will deliver him in the day of evil.

I said, "LORD, have mercy on me. Heal me, for I have sinned against you."

All who hate me whisper together against me. They imagine the worst for me.

Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate bread with me, has lifted up his heel against me.

But you, LORD, have mercy on me, and raise me up, that I may repay them.

By this I know that you delight in me, because my enemy doesn't triumph over me.

As for me, you uphold me in my integrity, and set me in your presence forever.
