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

For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: Evil shall not sojourn with thee.

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

Jehovah hath heard my supplication; Jehovah will receive my prayer.

God is a righteous judge, Yea, a God that hath indignation every day.

If a man turn not, he will whet his sword; He hath bent his bow, and made it ready.

He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; He maketh his arrows fiery'shafts .

Behold, he travaileth with iniquity; Yea, he hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.

He hath made a pit, and digged it, And is fallen into the ditch which he made.

But Jehovah sitteth as king for ever: He hath prepared his throne for judgment;

Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; Behold my affliction which I suffer of them that hate me, Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death;

Jehovah hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment: The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah

He saith in his heart, God hath forgotten; He hideth his face; he will never see it.

I will sing unto Jehovah, Because he hath dealt bountifully with me.

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.

I will bless Jehovah, who hath given me counsel; Yea, my heart instructeth me in the night seasons.

Jehovah hath rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

Therefore hath Jehovah recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.

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 also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me, That I might cut off them that hate me.

Their line is gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,

Thy hand will find out all thine enemies; Thy right hand will find out those that hate thee.

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.

They shall come and shall declare his righteousness Unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done it.

For he hath founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the floods.

He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; Who hath not lifted up his soul unto falsehood, And hath not sworn deceitfully.

Consider mine enemies, for they are many; And they hate me with cruel hatred.

I hate the assembly of evil-doers, And will not sit with the wicked.

Blessed be Jehovah, Because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.

Jehovah is my strength and my shield; My heart hath trusted in him, and I am helped: Therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; And with my song will I praise him.

I hate them that regard lying vanities; But I trust in Jehovah.

Blessed be Jehovah; For he hath showed me his marvellous lovingkindness in a strong city.

Blessed is the nation whose God is Jehovah, The people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

Our soul hath waited for Jehovah: He is our help and our shield.

Evil shall slay the wicked; And they that hate the righteous shall be condemned.

Let destruction come upon him unawares; And let his net that he hath hid catch himself: With destruction let him fall therein.

Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me; Neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.

Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me; They said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.

Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favor my righteous cause: Yea, let them say continually, Jehovah be magnified, Who hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: He hath ceased to be wise and to do good.

Better is a little that the righteous hath Than the abundance of many wicked.

But mine enemies are lively, and are strong; And they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

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 Jehovah.

For innumerable evils have compassed me about; Mine iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up; They are more than the hairs of my head; And my heart hath failed me.

All that hate me whisper together against me; Against me do they devise my hurt.

Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, Who did eat of my bread, Hath lifted up his heel against me.

But thou hast saved us from our adversaries, And hast put them to shame that hate us.

Thou makest us to turn back from the adversary; And they that hate us take spoil for themselves.

All the day long is my dishonor before me, And the shame of my face hath covered me,

Thou art fairer than the children of men; Grace is poured into thy lips: Therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness: Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee With the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

Come, behold the works of Jehovah, What desolations he hath made in the earth.

God hath made himself known in her palaces for a refuge.

The Mighty One, God, Jehovah, hath spoken, And called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.

Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined forth.

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.

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 of God hath rejected them.

For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; And mine eye hath seen my desire upon mine enemies.

Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, And horror hath overwhelmed me.

He hath redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me; For they were many that strove with me.

He hath put forth his hands against such as were at peace with him: He hath profaned his covenant.

Let them be as a snail which melteth and passeth away, Like the untimely birth of a woman, that hath not seen the sun.

God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult; I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

Who will bring me into the strong city? Who hath led me unto Edom?

God hath spoken once, Twice have I heard this, That power belongeth unto God.

Come, and hear, all ye that fear God, And I will declare what he hath done for my soul.

But verily God hath heard; He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

Blessed be God, Who hath not turned away my prayer, Nor his lovingkindness from me.

The earth hath yielded its increase: God, even our own God, will bless us.

Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered; Let them also that hate him flee before him.

Why look ye askance, ye high mountains, At the mountain which God hath desired for his abode? Yea, Jehovah will dwell in it for ever.

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

Rebuke the wild beast of the reeds, The multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the peoples, Trampling under foot the pieces of silver: He hath scattered the peoples that delight in war.

They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head: They that would cut me off, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: That which I took not away I have to restore.

Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; Shame hath covered my face.

For the zeal of thy house hath eaten me up; And the reproaches of them that reproach thee are fallen upon me.

Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: Let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.

Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: And I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; And for comforters, but I found none.

And it will please Jehovah better than an ox, Or a bullock that hath horns and hoofs.

Saying, God hath forsaken him: Pursue and take him; for there is none to deliver.

For he will deliver the needy when he crieth, And the poor, that hath no helper.

Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual ruins, All the evil that the enemy hath done in the sanctuary.

Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O Jehovah, And that a foolish people hath blasphemed thy name.

Hath God forgotten to be gracious? Hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah

We will not hide them from their children, Telling to the generation to come the praises of Jehovah, And his strength, and his wondrous works that he hath done.

And he built his sanctuary like the heights, Like the earth which he hath established for ever.

For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult; And they that hate thee have lifted up the head.

Yea, the sparrow hath found her a house, And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, Even thine altars, O Jehovah of hosts, My King, and my God.

Truth springeth out of the earth; And righteousness hath looked down from heaven.

Show me a token for good, That they who hate me may see it, and be put to shame, Because thou, Jehovah, hast helped me, and comforted me.

I am reckoned with them that go down into the pit; I am as a man that hath no help,

And I will beat down his adversaries before him, And smite them that hate him.

Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

Mine eye also hath seen my desire on mine enemies, Mine ears have heard my desire of the evil-doers that rise up against me.

Jehovah reigneth; he is clothed with majesty; Jehovah is clothed with strength; he hath girded himself therewith: The world also is established, that it cannot be moved.

But Jehovah hath been my high tower, And my God the rock of my refuge.

And he hath brought upon them their own iniquity, And will cut them off in their own wickedness; Jehovah our God will cut them off.

O ye that love Jehovah, hate evil: He preserveth the souls of his saints; He delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.

Oh sing unto Jehovah a new song; For he hath done marvellous things: His right hand, and his holy arm, hath wrought salvation for him.

Jehovah hath made known his salvation: His righteousness hath he openly showed in the sight of the nations.
