Rise, O Jehovah! save me, my God. Because Thou hast smitten All mine enemies on the cheek. The teeth of the wicked Thou hast broken.

{To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.} When I call, answer me, O God of my righteousness: in pressure thou hast enlarged me; be gracious unto me, and hear my prayer.

Thou hast given joy in my heart, From the time their corn and their wine Have been multiplied.

For thou art the God that hast no pleasure in wickedness; neither shall any evil dwell with thee.

The boastful station not themselves before Thine eyes: Thou hast hated all working iniquity.

Rise, O Jehovah, in Thine anger, Be lifted up at the wrath of mine adversaries, And awake Thou for me: Judgment Thou hast commanded:

{To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David.} O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

From the mouths of infants and sucklings Thou hast founded strength, Because of Thine adversaries, To still an enemy and a self-avenger.

When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

Thou dost cause him to rule Over the works of Thy hands, All Thou hast placed under his feet.

For Thou hast done my judgment and my right. Thou hast sat on a throne, A judge of righteousness.

Thou hast rebuked nations, Thou hast destroyed the wicked, Their name Thou hast blotted out to the age and for ever.

O thou Enemy, Finished have been destructions for ever, As to cities thou hast plucked up, Perished hath their memorial with them.

They trust in Thee who do know Thy name, For Thou hast not forsaken Those seeking Thee, O Jehovah.

Thou hast seen, For Thou perverseness and anger beholdest; By giving into Thy hand, On Thee doth the afflicted leave it, Of the fatherless Thou hast been an helper.

The desire of the humble Thou hast heard, O Jehovah. Thou preparest their heart; Thou causest Thine ear to attend,

Thou hast said to Jehovah, 'My Lord Thou art;' My good is not for thine own sake;

To the saints that are on the earth, and to the excellent thou hast said, In them is all my delight.

Thou hast proved my heart, Thou hast inspected by night, Thou hast tried me, Thou findest nothing; My thoughts pass not over my mouth.

Thou hast held fast my goings on to thy ways, My footsteps have not been shaken:

Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.

Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.

For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.

As to mine enemies -- Thou hast given to me the neck, As to those hating me -- I cut them off.

Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.

He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.

The desire of his heart Thou gavest to him, And the request of his lips Thou hast not withheld. Selah.

For thou hast met him with the blessings of goodness; thou hast set a crown of pure gold on his head.

Life he hath asked from Thee, Thou hast given to him -- length of days, Age-during -- and for ever.

His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him.

For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.

To the Overseer, on 'The Hind of the Morning.' -- A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me? Far from my salvation, The words of my roaring?

Upon thee, was I cast from the time I was born, From the womb of my mother, my GOD, hast thou been.

My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.

And Thou, O Jehovah, be not far off, O my strength, to help me haste.

Save me from the mouth of a lion: -- And -- from the horns of the high places Thou hast answered me!

Thou arrangest before me a table, Over-against my adversaries, Thou hast anointed with oil my head, My cup is full!

For Thy name's sake, O Jehovah, Thou hast pardoned mine iniquity, for it is great.

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

{A Psalm and Song at the dedication of the house of David.} I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

And in my prosperity I said, "I shall never be removed." And why? Thou, LORD, of thy goodness, hast made my hill so strong.

LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.

Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

Bow down thine ear to me; make haste to deliver me. And be thou my strong rock, and a house of defense, that thou mayest save me.

Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.

I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;

And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room.

Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!

Thou hast wrought for those trusting in Thee, Before sons of men. Thou hidest them in the secret place of Thy presence, From artifices of man, Thou concealest them in a tabernacle, From the strife of tongues.

For 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.

My sin I cause Thee to know, And mine iniquity I have not covered. I have said, 'I confess concerning My transgressions to Jehovah,' And Thou -- Thou hast taken away, The iniquity of my sin. Selah.

Do not ye become like a horse, like a mule, without discernment, - With the bit and bridle of his mouth, hast thou to restrain him, - He will not come near unto thee.

This thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.

And yet a little, and the wicked is not, And thou hast considered his place, and it is not.

Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.

Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah.

I have been dumb, I open not my mouth, Because Thou -- Thou hast done it.

With reproofs against iniquity, Thou hast corrected man, And dost waste as a moth his desirableness, Only, vanity is every man. Selah.

Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.

I have proclaimed tidings of righteousness In the great assembly, lo, my lips I restrain not, O Jehovah, Thou hast known.

Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me.

Jehovah supporteth on a couch of sickness, All his bed Thou hast turned in his weakness.

By this I have known, That Thou hast delighted in me, Because my enemy shouteth not over me.

As to me, in mine integrity, Thou hast taken hold upon me, And causest me to stand before Thee to the age.

I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

For thou art the God of my strength. Why hast Thou cast me off? Why mourning do I go up and down, In the oppression of an enemy?

{To the Chanter, an instruction of the sons of Korah} We have heard with our ears, O God; our fathers have told us what thou hast done in their time of old.

Thou, with Thy hand, nations hast dispossessed. And Thou dost plant them. Thou afflictest peoples, and sendest them away.

But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us.

But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies.

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

Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered us among the heathen.

Thou sellest Thy people -- without wealth, And hast not become great by their price.

Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death.

Thou hast been beautified above the sons of men, Grace hath been poured into thy lips, Therefore hath God blessed thee to the age.

Thou hast loved righteousness and hatest wickedness, Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee, Oil of joy above thy companions.

With an east wind thou hast broken the ships of Tarshish.

But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?

Yea, thou hast hated instruction, And dost cast My words behind thee.

When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.

Thy mouth thou hast sent forth with evil, And thy tongue joineth deceit together,

These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.

Lo, truth Thou hast desired in the inward parts, And in the hidden part Wisdom Thou causest me to know.

Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering.

Thou hast loved evil rather than good, Lying, than speaking righteousness. Selah.

Thou hast loved all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.

I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name; for it is good before thy saints.

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.

For thou hast delivered me out of all my trouble, so that mine eye seeth his desire upon mine enemies.

I would haste me to a shelter From the stormy wind and tempest.

My wandering Thou hast counted, Thou -- place Thou my tear in Thy bottle, Are they not in Thy book?

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

Let them melt away as water that runs with haste. When he aims his arrows, let them be as though they were cut off,

But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.

{To the chief Musician upon Shushaneduth, Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aramnaharaim and with Aramzobah, when Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the valley of salt twelve thousand.} O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.
