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

{A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.} Jehovah, how many are they that trouble me, many they that rise up against me!

With my voice will I call to Jehovah, and he will answer me from the hill of his holiness. Selah.

Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for Jehovah hath heard the voice of my weeping.

{Shiggaion of David, which he sang to Jehovah, concerning the words of Cush the Benjaminite.} Jehovah my God, in thee have I trusted: save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me;

Be gracious unto me, O Jehovah; consider mine affliction from them that hate me, lifting me up from the gates of death:

He saith in his heart, I shall not be moved; from generation to generation I shall be in no adversity.

{To the chief Musician. Upon Sheminith. A Psalm of David.} Save, Jehovah, for the godly man is gone; for the faithful have failed from among the children of men.

Thou, Jehovah, wilt keep them, thou wilt preserve them from this generation for ever.

{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} How long, Jehovah, wilt thou forget me for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

Jehovah looked down from the heavens upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.

He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth from his heart.

Let my judgment come forth from thy presence, let thine eyes regard equity.

Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept from the paths of the violent man.

Shew wondrously thy loving-kindnesses, O thou that savest by thy right hand them that trust in thee from those that rise up against them.

From the wicked that destroy me, my deadly enemies, who compass me about.

Arise, Jehovah, anticipate him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, thy sword;

From men who are thy hand, O Jehovah, from men of this age: their portion is in this life, and their belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure; they have their fill of sons, and leave the rest of their substance to their children.

I will call upon Jehovah, who is to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals burned forth from it.

From the brightness before him his thick clouds passed forth: hail and coals of fire.

He reached forth from above, he took me, he drew me out of great waters:

He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me; for they were mightier than I.

For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

For all his ordinances were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me;

And I was upright with him, and kept myself from mine iniquity.

Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; thou hast made me the head of the nations: a people I knew not doth serve me.

Strangers have faded away, and they come trembling forth from their close places.

Who hath delivered me from mine enemies: yea, thou hast lifted me up above them that rose up against me; from the man of violence hast thou delivered me.

And he is as a bridegroom going forth from his chamber; he rejoiceth as a strong man to run the race.

His going forth is from the end of the heavens, and his circuit unto the ends of it; and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

Who understandeth his errors? Purify me from secret faults.

Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be perfect, and I shall be innocent from great transgression.

May he send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;

Now know I that Jehovah saveth his anointed; he answereth him from the heavens of his holiness, with the saving strength of his right hand.

Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.

{To the chief Musician. Upon Aijeleth-Shahar. A Psalm of David.} My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou far from my salvation, from the words of my groaning?

I was cast upon thee from the womb; thou art my God from my mother's belly.

Be not far from me, for trouble is near; for there is none to help.

But thou, Jehovah, be not far from me; O my strength, haste thee to help me.

Deliver my soul from the sword; my only one from the power of the dog;

Save me from the lion's mouth. Yea, from the horns of the buffaloes hast thou answered me.

For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him: but when he cried unto him, he heard.

My praise is from thee, in the great congregation; I will pay my vows before them that fear him.

He shall receive blessing from Jehovah, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

Remember, Jehovah, thy tender mercies and thy loving-kindnesses; for they are from everlasting.

Hide not thy face from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

Jehovah, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol, thou hast quickened me from among those that go down to the pit.

More than to all mine oppressors, I am become exceedingly a reproach, even to my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that see me without flee from me.

My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from my persecutors.

Thou keepest them concealed in the secret of thy presence from the conspiracies of man; thou hidest them in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.

As for me, I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes; nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.

Thou art a hiding-place for me; thou preservest me from trouble; thou dost encompass me with songs of deliverance. Selah.

The counsel of Jehovah standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.

Jehovah looketh from the heavens; he beholdeth all the sons of men:

From the place of his habitation he looketh forth upon all the inhabitants of the earth;

To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.

I sought Jehovah, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.

Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile;

Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

The face of Jehovah is against them that do evil, to cutoff the remembrance of them from the earth:

All my bones shall say, Jehovah, who is like unto thee, who deliverest the afflicted from one stronger than he, yea, the afflicted and the needy from him that spoileth him!

Lord, how long wilt thou look on? Rescue my soul from their destructions, my only one from the young lions.

Thou hast seen it, Jehovah: keep not silence; O Lord, be not far from me.

Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; fret not thyself: it would be only to do evil.

Depart from evil, and do good, and dwell for evermore;

And Jehovah will help them and deliver them: he will deliver them from the wicked, and save them; for they trust in him.

Lord, all my desire is before thee, and my sighing is not hid from thee.

My lovers and mine associates stand aloof from my stroke; and my kinsmen stand afar off.

Forsake me not, Jehovah; O my God, be not far from me.

I was dumb with silence, I held my peace from good; and my sorrow was stirred.

Deliver me from all my transgressions; make me not the reproach of the foolish.

Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thy hand.

Look away from me, and let me recover strength, before I go hence and be no more.

I have not hidden thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy loving-kindness and thy truth from the great congregation.

Withhold not thou, Jehovah, thy tender mercies from me; let thy loving-kindness and thy truth continually preserve me.

Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, from eternity to eternity! Amen, and Amen.

My God, my soul is cast down within me; therefore do I remember thee from the land of the Jordan, and the Hermons, from mount Mizar.

Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation; deliver me from the deceitful and unrighteous man.

For thou hast saved us from our adversaries, and hast put them to shame that hate us.

Thou hast made us to turn back from the adversary, and they that hate us spoil for themselves;

Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy path;

Their inward thought is, that their houses are for ever,their dwelling-places from generation to generation: they call the lands after their own names.

But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol: for he will receive me. Selah.

{A Psalm. Of Asaph.} God, Elohim-Jehovah, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.

He will call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people:

Wash me fully from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not the spirit of thy holiness from me.

Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

God looked down from the heavens upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.

{To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments: an instruction. Of David.} Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.

I would hasten my escape from the stormy wind, from the tempest.

Perversities are in the midst thereof; and oppression and deceit depart not from its streets.

For it is not an enemy that hath reproached me then could I have borne it; neither is it he that hateth me that hath magnified himself against me then would I have hidden myself from him;

He hath redeemed my soul in peace from the battle against me: for there were many about me.

For thou hast delivered my soul from death; wilt thou not keep my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?

{To the chief Musician. 'Destroy not.' Of David. Michtam; when he fled from Saul in the cave.} Be gracious unto me, O God, be gracious unto me; for my soul taketh refuge in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings do I take refuge, until the calamities be overpast.

He will send from the heavens and save me; he hath covered with reproach him that would swallow me up. Selah. God hath sent forth his loving-kindness and his truth.

The wicked go astray from the womb; they err as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
