Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.

But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.

For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.

For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?

And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.

To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.

For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.

{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.} The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.

They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;

There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.

Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.

But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.

Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.

For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.

Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.

Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.

There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.

O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.

The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not.

But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea, the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not:

{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD.} The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.

O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.

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

There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.

For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.

Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.

LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am.

And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee.

O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more.

And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.

But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.

An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him: and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.

By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.

Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds.

I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.

Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.

Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.

{To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, A Psalm of David.} The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.

Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God.

There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them.

God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.

When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.

Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah.

{A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.} O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;

I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.

Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.

But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.

My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.

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.

For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.

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

For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.

And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?

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

But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers.

We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.

Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?

That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children:

Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation.

Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.

There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.

They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

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.

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

For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

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

I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there.

For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.

I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:

Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.

Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance.

A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?

O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth.

{A Psalm.} O sing unto the LORD a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory.

Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.

A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.

But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.

For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.

Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD.

He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;

Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.

He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.

That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, LORD, hast done it.

Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?

I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.

I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people,
