Let the extortioner consume all that he hath; and let stranger spoil his labour.

Let them be always before the LORD, that he may root out the memorial of them from off the earth;

and that, because his mind was not to do good, but persecuted the poor helpless, and him that was vexed at the heart, to slay him.

Let it be unto him as the cloak that he hath on him, and as the girdle that he is girded withal.

Let it thus happen from the LORD unto mine enemies, and to those that speak evil against my soul.

I go hence like the shadow that departeth, and am driven away as the grasshopper.

and they shall know how that this is thy hand, and that thou, LORD, hast done it.

Though they curse, yet bless thou; and let them be confounded, that rise up against me. But let thy servant rejoice.

For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.

The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.

All that He does is splendid and majestic;
His righteousness endures forever.

The merciful and gracious LORD hath so done his marvelous works, that they ought to be had in remembrance.

He giveth meat unto them that fear him; he is ever mindful of his covenant.

He showeth his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.

He delivered his people; he ordained that his covenant be observed forever. His name is holy and awesome.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do thereafter. The praise of it endureth forever.

{Praise the Everlasting} Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, and hath great delight in his commandments.

It is well with the man that is gracious and lendeth; he will sustain his cause in judgment.

Sustained is his heart -- he feareth not, Till that he look on his adversaries.

The Lord is high over all nations, and his glory is higher than the heavens.

Who is like unto the LORD our God, that hath his dwelling so high;

which humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven and earth?

That raiseth, out of the dust, the poor, From the dunghill, uplifteth the needy;

that he may set him among the princes, even among the princes of his people.

When Israel came out of Egypt, and the house of Jacob from among that strange people,

The sea saw that, and fled, Jordan turned back.

What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? And thou Jordan, that thou turnest back?

Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams? And ye little hills, like young sheep?

And our God is in the heavens, All that He hath pleased He hath done.

They that make them, are like unto them; and so are all such as put their trust in them.

They that fear the LORD, let them put their trust in the LORD, for he is their aid and their shield.

Yea, he blesseth all them that fear the LORD, both small and great.

The dead praise not thee, O LORD, neither all they that go down into silence.

I am well pleased, that the LORD hath heard the voice of my prayer,

that he hath inclined his ear unto me; therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.

I believed that I should speak, I, was greatly depressed.

What reward shall I give unto the LORD, for all the benefits that he hath done unto me?

Behold, O LORD, how that I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thy handmaid. Thou hast broken my bonds in sunder.

Let Israel now confess, that his mercy endureth forever.

Let the house of Aaron now confess, that his mercy endureth forever.

Yea, let them now that fear the LORD confess, that his mercy endureth forever.

The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.

It is better to trust in the LORD, than to put any confidence in man.

It is better to trust in the LORD, than to put any confidence in princes.

They thrust at me, that I might fall; but the LORD was my help.

I shall not die, but live, That I may recount the doings of Yah.

Open me the gates of righteousness, that I may go in there through, and give thanks unto the LORD.

The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

This is the day that the LORD has made; let's rejoice and be glad in it.

Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD; we wish you good luck, ye that be of the house of the LORD.

For You will give me a heart that is willing.

(He) Teach me, O Lord, the lifestyle prescribed by your statutes, so that I might observe it continually.

Give me understanding [a teachable heart and the ability to learn], that I may keep Your law;
And observe it with all my heart.

Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for in that do I delight.

Give me a desire for your rules, rather than for wealth gained unjustly.

O establish thy word in thy servant, that I may fear thee.

Take away the rebuke that I am afraid of; for thy judgments are good.

that I may give answer unto my blasphemers - for my trust is in thy word.

That I may keep thy law continually, to times age-abiding and beyond.

That I may walk to and fro in a large place, because, thy precepts, have I sought.

That I may speak of thy testimonies before kings, and not be ashamed.

And I delight myself in Thy commands, That I have loved,

And I lift up my hands unto Thy commands, That I have loved, And I do meditate on Thy statutes!

This is what comforts me in my troubles: that what you say revives me.

I am horribly afraid for the ungodly that forsake thy law.

This hath been to me, That Thy precepts I have kept!

CHETH. Thou art my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words.

I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and keep thy commandments.

It is good for me that I have been in trouble, that I may learn thy statutes.

The law of thy mouth is dearer unto me, than thousands of gold and silver.

{Yod} Thy hands have made me and fashioned me, O give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.

They that fear thee, will be glad when they see me, because I put my trust in thy word.

I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou of very faithfulness hast caused me to be troubled.

O let thy merciful kindness be my comfort, according to the promise that thou hast made unto thy servant.

O let thy loving mercies come unto me, that I may live; for thy law is my delight.

Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that have known thy testimonies.

O let my heart be sound in thy statutes, that I be not ashamed.

How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?

The proud have digged for me pits, That are not according to Thy law.

Revive me according to your gracious love; and I will keep the decrees that you have proclaimed. Lamed

I see that all things come to an end, but thy commandment is exceeding broad.

Thou, through thy commandments, hast made me wiser than mine enemies; for they are ever with me.

I have more understanding than all my teachers; for thy testimonies are my study.

Yea, I am wiser than the aged, for I keep thy commandments.

I refrain my feet from every evil way, that I may keep thy words.
