O Blessed is the man that hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, and hath not sat in the seat of the scornful.

But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and in his law will he exercise himself, day and night.

As for the ungodly, it is not so with them: but they are like the chaff, which the wind scattereth away from the face of the earth.

Let us break their bonds asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

As for me, I will preach the law, whereof the LORD hath said unto me, "Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.

Be wise now therefore, O ye kings; be warned, ye that are judges of the earth.

Many ones there be that say of my soul, "There is no help for him in his God." Selah.

Salvation belongeth unto the LORD; and thy blessing is upon thy people.

Know this also, that the LORD hath chosen to himself the man that is godly; when I call upon the LORD, he will hear me.

There be many that say, "Who will show us any good? LORD lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us."

I will lay me down in peace, and take my rest; for it is thou, LORD, only that makest me dwell in safety.

Such as be foolish shall not stand in thy sight, for thou hatest all them that work vanity.

But as for me, I will come into thy house, even upon the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.

For there is no faithfulness in their mouths; they dissemble in their hearts. Their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.

for thou, LORD, wilt give thy blessing unto the righteous, and with thy favourable kindness wilt thou defend him, as with a shield.

My soul also is sore troubled; but LORD, how long wilt thou punish me?

My beauty is gone for very trouble, and worn away because of all mine enemies.

lest he devour my soul like a lion, and tear it in pieces, while there is none to help.

The LORD shall judge the people; give sentence with me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to the innocence that is in me.

God is a righteous judge, strong and patient; and God is provoked every day.

He hath graven and dug up a pit, and is fallen himself into the destruction that he made for others.

As for me, I will give thanks unto the LORD according to his righteousness; and I will praise the name of the LORD most high.

{To the Chanter upon Gittith, a Psalm of David} O LORD our governour; how excellent is thy name in all the world; thou hast set thy glory above the heavens!

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? And what is the son of man that thou visitest him?

O LORD our governour, how excellent is thy name in all the world!

O thou enemy, thy destructions are come to a perpetual end; even as the cities which thou hast destroyed, their memorial is perished with them.

The Heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made; in the same net which they hid privily, is their own foot taken.

The LORD is known to execute judgment; the ungodly is trapped in the work of his own hands. Selah.

The ungodly is so proud and full of indignation, that he careth not for God: neither is God in all his thoughts.

His mouth is full of cursing, deceit and fraud; under his tongue is travail and sorrow.

For he lieth waiting secretly; even as a lion lurketh he in his den, that he may ravish the poor. He doth ravish the poor when he getteth him into his net.

The LORD is King for ever and ever, and the Heathen are perished out of the land.

{To the Chanter, a Psalm of David} In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye then to my soul, that she should flee as a bird unto the hill?

The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD's seat is in heaven. His eyes consider the poor, and his eyelids try the children of men.

For the LORD is righteous, and he loveth righteousness: his countenance will behold the thing that is just.

{To the Chanter upon Sheminith, a Psalm of David} Help me, LORD, for there is not one godly man left: for the faithful are diminished from among the children of men.

Which have said, "With our tongue will we prevail; we are they that ought to speak; Who is lord over us?"

The words of the LORD are pure words: even as the silver, which from the earth is tried, and purified seven times in the fire.

Keep them therefore, O LORD, and preserve us from this generation for ever.

But my trust is in thy mercy, and my heart is joyful in thy salvation.

{To the Chanter, a Psalm of David} The fool hath said in his heart, "Tush, there is no God." They are corrupt, and become abominable in their doings; there is none that doeth good, no not one.

But they are all gone out of the way, they are all together become abominable: there is none that doeth good, no not one.

Have they no knowledge, that they are all such workers of mischief, eating up my people as it were bread, and call not upon the LORD?

There were they brought in great fear, even where no fear was; for God is in the generation of the righteous.

As for you, ye have made a mock at the counsel of the poor, because he putteth his trust in the LORD.

Even he that leadeth an uncorrupt life, and doeth the thing which is right, and speaketh the truth from his heart.

He that sitteth not by himself, but is lowly in his own eyes, and maketh much of them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth unto his neighbour, and disappointeth him not, though it were to his own hindrance.

He that hath not given his money upon usury, nor taken reward against the innocent. Whoso doeth these things shall never fall.

All my delight is upon the saints that are in the earth, and upon such as excel in virtue.

The LORD himself is the portion of mine inheritance, and of my cup; thou shalt maintain my lot.

The lot is fallen unto me in fair ground; yea I have a goodly heritage.

I have set the LORD always before me; for he is on my righthand. Therefore I shall not fall.

Wherefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth; my flesh also shall rest in hope.

Thou shalt show me the path of life; in thy presence is the fulness of joy, and at thy righthand there is pleasure for evermore.

Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; and let thine eyes look upon the thing that is equal.

Show thy marvelous loving-kindness, thou that art the Saviour of them which put their trust in thee, from such as resist thy righthand.

Keep me as the apple of an eye; hide me under the shadow of thy wings,

They lie waiting in our way on every side, watching to cast us down to the ground,

like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a lion's whelp, lurking in secret places.

From the men of thy hand, O LORD, from the men, I say, and from the evil world, which have their portion in this life, whose bellies thou fillest with thy hid treasure.

They have children at their desire, and leave the rest of their substance for their babes. But as for me, I shall behold thy presence in righteousness: and when I awake up after thy likeness, I shall be satisfied with it.

The LORD is my stony rock, and my defense, my Saviour, my God, and my might, in whom I will trust, my buckler, the horn also of my salvation, and my refuge. {TYNDALE: The LORD is my rock, my castle and my deliverer. God is my strength, and in him will I trust: my shield and the horn that defendeth me: mine high hold and refuge.}

3 I will call upon the LORD, which is worthy to be praised; so shall I be safe from mine enemies. {TYNDALE: I will praise and call on the LORD, and so shall be saved from mine enemies.}

Because I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not forsaken my God, as the wicked doth. {TYNDALE: For I kept the ways of the LORD, and did no wickedness, forsaking my God.}

With the holy thou shalt be holy, and with a perfect man thou shalt be perfect. {TYNDALE: With the holy thou shalt be holy, and with the man that is uncorrupt, thou shalt be uncorrupt.}

The way of God is an undefiled way; the word of the LORD also is tried in the fire. He is the defender of all them that put their trust in him. {TYNDALE: The way of God is undefiled, and the word of the LORD fined as gold, and he a shield to all that trust in him.}

For who is God, but the LORD? Or, who hath any strength, but our God? {TYNDALE: Who is a God save the LORD, and who mighty save our God?}

It is God that girdeth me with strength of war, and maketh my way perfect. {TYNDALE: God is my strength in war, and riddeth the way clear before me.}

He maketh my feet like hart's feet, and setteth me up on high. {TYNDALE: And maketh my feet as swift as a hind's, and setteth me fast upon my high hold.}

He teacheth my hands to fight, and mine arms shall bend even a bow of steel. {TYNDALE: And teacheth my hands to fight, that a bow of brass is too weak for mine arms.}

I will beat them as small as the dust before the wind; I will cast them out as the clay in the streets. {TYNDALE: And I will beat them as small as the dust of the earth, and will stamp them as the dirt of the street, and will spread them abroad.}

As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me, but the strange children dissemble with me. {TYNDALE: And the aliens crouched unto me, and obeyed me at a word.}

The LORD liveth: and blessed be my strong helper, and praised be the God of my salvation, {TYNDALE: The LORD live, and blessed be he that is my strength: and exalted be God the strength that saveth me.}

Even the God that seeth that I be avenged, and subdueth the people unto me. {TYNDALE: It is God that avengeth me, and bringeth down the people under me.}

It is he that delivereth me from my cruel enemies, and setteth me up against mine adversaries: thou shalt rid me from the wicked man. {TYNDALE: And delivereth me from mine enemies: thou liftest me up on high from them that rise against me, and deliverest me from the wicked men.}

There is neither speech nor language, but their voices are heard among them.

Their sound is gone out into all lands, and their words in to the ends of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,

which cometh forth as a bridegroom out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a giant to run his course.

It goeth forth from the uttermost part of the heaven, and runneth about unto the end of it again; and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

The law of the LORD is an undefiled law, converting the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, and giveth wisdom unto simple.

The statutes of the LORD are right, and rejoice the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, and giveth light unto the eyes.

The fear of the LORD is clean, and endureth forever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.

Moreover, by them is thy servant taught, and in keeping of them there is great reward.

Save, LORD, and hear us, O King of heaven, when we call upon thee.

His honour is great in thy salvation; glory and great worship shalt thou lay upon him.

For they intended mischief against thee, and imagined such a device as they are not able to perform.

But as for me, I am a worm and no man: a very scorn of men and the outcast of the people.

O go not far from me then, for trouble is hard at hand, and here is none to help me.

They gape upon me with their mouths, as it were a rampaging and a roaring lion.

I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart also in the midst of my body is even like melting wax.

My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue cleaveth to my gums, and thou shalt bring me into the dust of death.

My praise is of thee in the great congregation; my vows will I perform in the sight of them that fear him.

For the kingdom is the LORD's, and he is the governour among the people.

All such as be fat upon earth have eaten and worshipped. All they that go down into the dust shall kneel before him; and no man hath quickened his own soul.

{A Psalm of David} The LORD is my shepherd; I can want nothing.

{A Psalm of David} The earth is the LORD's, and all that therein is: the compass of the world, and all that dwell therein.

This is the generation of them that seek him, even of them that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah

Who is this King of glory? It is the LORD strong and mighty, even the LORD mighty in battle.

Who is this King of glory? Even the LORD of Hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.

For all they that hope in thee shall not be ashamed; but such as transgress without a cause shall be put to confusion.
