O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.

Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.

Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.

Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.

I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.

My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.

My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt.

May he judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with justice.

May the mountains bring prosperity to the people
and the hills, righteousness.

May he bring justice to the poor among the people,
Save the children of the needy
And crush the oppressor,

Let them fear You [with awe-inspired reverence and worship You with obedience] while the sun endures,
And as long as the moon [reflects light], throughout all generations.

May he come down like rain on the mown grass,
Like showers that water the earth.

May [what is] right blossom in his days and an abundance of peace, until [the] moon is no more.

And may he rule from sea up to sea, and from [the] River to [the] edges of [the] land.

May desert tribes kneel before him
and his enemies lick the dust.

May the kings of Tarshish
and the coasts and islands bring tribute,
the kings of Sheba and Seba offer gifts.

May all kings bow down to him, and all nations serve him.

So may he live, and may gold from Sheba be given to him, and may prayers be offered for him continually. May blessings be invoked for him {all day long}.

May there be an abundance of grain in the land [even] on [the] top of [the] mountains. May his crop sway like the [trees of] Lebanon, and may [those] from [the] city blossom like the grass of the earth.

May his name endure forever. May his name increase {as long as the sun shines}, and let them be blessed in him. Let all nations call him blessed.

May the Lord God, the God of Israel,
who alone does wonders, be praised.

And blessed be his glorious name forever, and may the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen and Amen.

A Psalm of Asaph. Only -- good to Israel is God, to the clean of heart. And I -- as a little thing, My feet have been turned aside,

But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.

Because of my envy of the men of pride, when I saw the well-being of the wrongdoers.

Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency.

And I am plagued all the day, And my reproof is every morning.

If I had said, “I will say this,” [and expressed my feelings],
I would have betrayed the generation of Your children.

When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;

As the dream of him that waketh, O my Lord! when rousing thyself up, their shadowy being, wilt thou despise.

Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.

As for me, I was foolish, and without knowledge; I was like a beast before you.

Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.

Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.

Who to me in the heavens? and from thee I desired nothing in the earth.

My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.

But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.

For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.

May the crushed one not again be confounded, As for the oppressed and the needy, let them praise thy Name.

“When I select an appointed time,
I will judge with equity,” [says the Lord].

But as for me, I will declare for ever; I will sing psalms to the God of Jacob.

Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?

{To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of Asaph.} I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me.

In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted.

I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.

You have held my eyelids open;
I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

My thoughts go back to the days of the past, to the years which are gone.

I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.

Will the Lord put me away for ever? will he be kind no longer?

And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High.

I will give thought to all your work, while my mind goes over your acts of power.

Your way was in the sea
And Your paths in the mighty waters,
And Your footprints may not be known.

{Maschil of Asaph.} Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:

To the end, A later generation, might come m know, Children who should be born, Who should arise, and recount them to their children;

Why should the nations say, "Where is their God?" Before our very eyes may the shed blood of your servants be avenged among the nations!

Pay back our neighbors in full! May they be insulted the same way they insulted you, O Lord!

O God, restore us, and cause your face to shine that we may be saved.

O God [of] hosts, restore us and cause your face to shine that we may be saved.

Why are its walls broken down by your hands, so that all who go by may take its fruit?

It is burned with fire, it is cut down;
They perish at the rebuke of Your [angry] appearance.

May you support the man at your right hand; the son of man whom you have raised for yourself.

O Yahweh God [of] hosts, restore us; cause your face to shine that we may be saved.

He gave it to Joseph as a witness, when he went out over the land of Egypt; then the words of a strange tongue were sounding in my ears.

When thou calledest upon me in trouble, I delivered thee, and heard thee, what time as the storm fell upon thee. I proved thee also at the waters of strife. Selah.

Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;

I am the Lord your God, who took you up from the land of Egypt: let your mouth be open wide, so that I may give you food.

But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.

Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!

I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.

Those who hate the Lord would pretend obedience to Him and cringe before Him,
And their time of punishment would be forever.

I said, “You are gods;
Indeed, all of you are sons of the Most High.

They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.

Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.

May they be humiliated and continually terrified! May they die in shame!

That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.

My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.

Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.

O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.

For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?

Let me listen to what God, the LORD, says; for the LORD will promise peace to his people, to his holy ones; may they not return to foolishness.

Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.

Righteousness, before him, shall march long, - That he may make, into a way, the steps of its feet.

{A Prayer of David.} Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.

Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.

Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.

Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

For, thou, O My Lord, art good and forgiving, And abundant in lovingkindness, to all who call upon thee.

Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.

In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.

There is none like unto thee, among the gods, O My Lord, And nothing like thy works.

All nations whom thou hast made, Shall come in and bow down before thee, O My Lord, That they may glorify thy Name.

Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.

I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.

For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.

O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them.

But, thou, O My Lord, art, A God of compassion and favour, Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness a faithfulness.

O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
