Thou -- Thou hast known my sitting down, And my rising up, Thou hast attended to my thoughts from afar.

My path and my couch Thou hast fanned, And with all my ways hast been acquainted.

For there is not a word in my tongue, Lo, O Jehovah, Thou hast known it all!

Thou hast fashioned me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.

For my reins are thine, thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.

O LORD. O LORD God, thou strength of my health; thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.

When my spirit hath been feeble in me, Then Thou hast known my path; In the way in which I walk, They have hid a snare for me.

Look to the right [the point of attack] and see;
For there is no one who has regard for me [to act in my favor].
Escape has failed me and I have nowhere to run;
No one cares about my life.

For the enemy has persecuted my soul;
He has crushed my life to the ground;
He has made me dwell in dark places, like those who have long been dead.

And my spirit has fainted within me; my heart has become weary within me.

And in Thy kindness cuttest off mine enemies, And hast destroyed all the adversaries of my soul, For I am Thy servant!

LORD, what is man, that thou hast such respect unto him? Or the son of man, that thou so regardest him?

because their mouth has spoken vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of lies.

Thou that givest victory unto kings, and hast delivered David thy servant from the peril of the sword.

Rescue me, and deliver me from the hand of foreigners' sons, because their mouth has spoken vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood;

The Lord is good to all, and has compassion on all he has made.

All he has made will give thanks to the Lord. Your loyal followers will praise you.

How blessed and graciously favored is he whose help is the God of Jacob (Israel),
Whose hope is in the Lord his God,

The Lord takes care of those who are in a strange land; he gives help to the widow and to the child who has no father; but he sends destruction on the way of sinners.

Our Lord is great, and rich in power; his understanding has no limitation.

He has no delight in the strength of a horse; he takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.

For He has strengthened the bars of your gates;
He has blessed your sons within you.

He has not dealt thus with any nation;
And as for His ordinances, they have not known them.
Praise the Lord!

He has also established them forever and ever;
He has made a decree which will not pass away.

And He has lifted up a horn for His people,
Praise for all His godly ones;
Even for the sons of Israel, a people near to Him.
Praise the Lord!

For the Lord has pleasure in his people: he gives the poor in spirit a crown of salvation.

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.
Praise the Lord!
