His ways are ever fixed; your decisions are higher than he may see: as for his haters, they are as nothing to him.

Have all the workers of evil no knowledge? they take my people for food as they would take bread; they make no prayer to the Lord.

As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the noble in whom is all my delight.

As for God, his way is completely good; the word of the Lord is tested; he is a breastplate for all those who put their faith in him.

Then they were crushed as small as dust before the wind; they were drained out like the waste of the streets.

The Lord takes care of me as his sheep; I will not be without any good thing.

But as for me, I will go on in my upright ways: be my saviour, and have mercy on me.

And as for me, I said in my fear, I am cut off from before your eyes; but you gave ear to the voice of my prayer, when my cry went up to you.

Do not be like the horse or the ass, without sense; ...

Let your mercy be on us, O Lord, as we are waiting for you.

But as for me, when they were ill I put on the clothing of sorrow: I went without food and was sad, and my prayer came back again to my heart.

My behaviour was as if it had been my friend or my brother: I was bent low in grief like one whose mother is dead.

Your mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens, and your strong purpose is as high as the clouds.

But as for the sinners, they will be cut off together; the end of the wrongdoers is destruction.

And as for me, you are my support in my righteousness, giving me a place before your face for ever.

Have the workers of evil no knowledge? they take my people for food, as they would take bread; they make no prayer to God.

As for me, I will make my prayer to God, and he will be my saviour.

How long will you go on designing evil against a man? running against him as against a broken wall, which is on the point of falling?

O God, you are my God; early will I make my search for you: my soul is dry for need of you, my flesh is wasted with desire for you, as a dry and burning land where no water is;

Evils have overcome us: but as for our sins, you will take them away.

Let them be like smoke before the driving wind; as wax turning soft before the fire, so let them come to an end before the power of God.

Let those who say Aha, aha! be turned back as a reward of their shame.

May his life go on as long as the sun and moon, through all generations.

In his days may the upright do well, living in peace as long as there is a moon in heaven.

May his name go on for ever, as long as the sun: may men be blessing themselves by him; may all nations be blessing his name.

Truly, God is good to Israel, even to such as are clean in heart.

They are not in trouble as others are; they have no part in the unhappy fate of men.

For this reason pride is round them like a chain; they are clothed with violent behaviour as with a robe.

As for me, I have made my heart clean to no purpose, washing my hands in righteousness;

As a dream when one is awake, they are ended; they are like an image gone out of mind when sleep is over.

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

Keep in mind your band of worshippers, for whom you gave payment in the days which are past, whom you took for yourself as the people of your heritage; even this mountain of Zion, which has been your resting-place.

The heads of the great snake were crushed by you; you gave them as food to the fishes of the sea.

When God took his place as judge, for the salvation of the poor on the earth. (Selah.)

Your way, O God, is holy: what god is so great as our God?

Which have come to our hearing and our knowledge, as they were given to us by our fathers.

Let not your hearts be hard, as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the waste land;

For as the heaven is high over the earth, so great is his mercy to his worshippers.

As far as the east is from the west, so far has he put our sins from us.

As a father has pity on his children, so the Lord has pity on his worshippers.

As for man, his days are as grass: his beautiful growth is like the flower of the field.

You are clothed with light as with a robe; stretching out the heavens like a curtain:

Covering it with the sea as with a robe: the waters were high over the mountains;

Where the birds have their resting-places; as for the stork, the tall trees are her house.

There go the ships; there is that great beast, which you have made as a plaything.

He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was given as a servant for a price:

By his word the Red Sea was made dry: and he took them through the deep waters as through the waste land.

They did not put an end to the peoples, as the Lord had said;

As he took pleasure in cursing, so let it come on him; and as he had no delight in blessing, let it be far from him.

Let it be to him as a robe which he puts on, let it be like a band which is round him at all times.

As for me, they make sport of me; shaking their heads when they see me.

Let my haters be clothed with shame, covering themselves with shame as with a robe.

Let your mercy now be my comfort, as you have said to your servant.

I have taken your unchanging word as an eternal heritage; for it is the joy of my heart.

Be my support as you have said, and give me life; let not my hope be turned to shame.

Let your eyes be turned to me, and have mercy on me, as it is right for you to do to those who are lovers of your name.

Undertake my cause, and come to my help, give me life, as you have said.

Let my prayer come before you; take me out of trouble, as you have said.

Even the dark is not dark to you; the night is as bright as the day: for dark and light are the same to you.

My hate for them is complete; my thoughts of them are as if they were making war on me.

As for those who come round me, let their heads be covered by the evil of their lips.

He has not done these things for any other nation: and as for his laws, they have no knowledge of them. Let the Lord be praised.
