Arise, Jehovah; save me, my God! For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheekbone, thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.

{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 put joy in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their new wine was in abundance.

Arise, Jehovah, in thine anger; lift thyself up against the raging of mine oppressors, and awake for me: thou hast commanded judgment.

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

Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou established praise because of thine adversaries, to still the enemy and the avenger.

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

Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and splendour.

Thou hast made him to rule over the works of thy hands; thou hast put everything under his feet:

For thou hast maintained my right and my cause. Thou sittest on the throne, judging righteously.

Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked; thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.

O enemy! destructions are ended for ever. Thou hast also destroyed cities, even the remembrance of them hath perished.

And they that know thy name will confide in thee; for thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

Thou hast seen it, for thou thyself beholdest trouble and vexation, to requite by thy hand. The wretched committeth himself unto thee; thou hast been the helper of the fatherless.

Jehovah, thou hast heard the desire of the meek, thou hast established their heart: thou causest thine ear to hear,

Thou my soul hast said to Jehovah, Thou art the Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee; --

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 visited me by night; thou hast tried me, thou hast found nothing: my thought goeth not beyond my word.

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.

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.

Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah.

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

His glory is great through thy salvation; majesty and splendour hast thou laid upon him.

For thou hast made him to be blessings for ever; thou hast filled him with joy by thy countenance.

{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?

My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue cleaveth to my palate; and thou hast laid me in the dust of death.

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

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

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; thou hast anointed my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

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.

{A Psalm of David: dedication-song of the house.} I will extol thee, Jehovah; for thou hast delivered me, and hast not made mine enemies to rejoice over me.

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

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

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

Into thy hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, Jehovah, thou God of truth.

I will be glad and rejoice in thy loving-kindness, for thou hast seen mine affliction; thou hast known the troubles of my soul,

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

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!

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

Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation.

Behold, thou hast made my days as hand-breadths, and my lifetime is as nothing before thee; verily, every man, even the high placed, is altogether vanity. Selah.

I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; for thou hast done it.

Thou, O Jehovah my God, hast multiplied thy marvellous works, and thy thoughts toward us: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee; would I declare and speak them, they are more than can be numbered.

Sacrifice and oblation thou didst not desire: ears hast thou prepared me. Burnt-offering and sin-offering hast thou not demanded;

Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me; Jehovah, make haste to my help.

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 go I about mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

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

But thou hast cast off, and put us to confusion, and dost not go 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 over like sheep appointed for meat, and hast scattered us among the nations;

Thou hast sold thy people for nought, and hast not increased thy wealth by their price;

Though thou hast crushed us in the place of jackals, and covered us with the shadow of death.

Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness; therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness 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 into thy mouth,

Seeing thou hast hated correction and hast cast my words behind thee?

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

Make me to hear gladness and joy; 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 rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.

Thou hast loved all devouring words, O deceitful tongue!

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

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

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?

But as for me, I will sing of thy strength; yea, I will sing aloud of thy loving-kindness in the morning; for thou hast been to me a high fortress, and a refuge in the day of my trouble.

{To the chief Musician. On Shushan. Testimony. Michtam of David; to teach: when he strove with the Syrians of Mesopotamia, and the Syrians of Zobah, and Joab returned, and smote the Edomites in the valley of salt, twelve thousand.} O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased: restore us again.

Thou hast made the earth to tremble, thou hast rent it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.

Thou hast shewn thy people hard things; thou hast made us to drink the wine of bewilderment.

Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth, (Selah,)

For thou hast been a refuge for me, a strong tower from before the enemy.

For thou, O God, hast heard my vows; thou hast given me the inheritance of those that fear thy name.

For thou hast been my help, and in the shadow of thy wings will I sing for joy.

Thou hast visited the earth, thou hast watered it; thou greatly enrichest it: the river of God is full of water; thou providest their corn, when thou hast so prepared it:

For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.

Thou didst cause men to ride over our head; we went through fire and through water: but thou hast brought us out into abundance.

Thy flock hath dwelt therein: thou hast prepared in thy goodness, for the afflicted, O God!

Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts in Man, and even for the rebellious, for the dwelling there of Jah Elohim.

Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.

For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten, and they talk for the sorrow of those whom thou hast wounded.

{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David: to bring to remembrance.} Make haste, O God, to deliver me; Jehovah, hasten to my help.

But I am afflicted and needy: make haste unto me, O God. Thou art my help and my deliverer: O Jehovah, make no delay.

Be to me a rock of habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.

O God, thou hast taught me from my youth, and hitherto have I proclaimed thy marvellous works:

And thy righteousness, O God, reacheth on high, thou who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee?

Thou, who hast shewn us many and sore troubles, wilt revive us again, and wilt bring us up again from the depths of the earth;

My lips shall exult when I sing psalms unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.

Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden my right hand;

{An instruction: of Asaph.} Why, O God, hast thou cast off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?

Remember thine assembly, which thou hast purchased of old, which thou hast redeemed to be the portion of thine inheritance, this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.

The day is thine, the night also is thine; thou hast prepared the moon and the sun:

Thou hast set all the borders of the earth; summer and winter thou didst form them.

Thou art the God that doest wonders; thou hast declared thy strength among the peoples.

Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.

Thou hast fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink in large measure:

Thou hast made us a strife unto our neighbours, and our enemies mock among themselves.

Why hast thou broken down its fences, so that all who pass by the way do pluck it?

Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou hast made strong for thyself.

{To the chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm.} Thou hast been favourable, Jehovah, unto thy land; thou hast turned the captivity of Jacob:
