I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

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

For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.

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

The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.

If he 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 ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.

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

But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.

Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:

He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.

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

Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.

I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.

{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.} 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 the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.

The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

Therefore hath the LORD 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 given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy 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,

Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall 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 this.

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 vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

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

Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.

Blessed be the LORD: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.

Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.

Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.

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, and said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.

Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good.

A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.

But mine enemies are lively, and they 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 the LORD.

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

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

Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves.

My confusion is continually 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 lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth.

{A Psalm of Asaph.} The mighty God, even the LORD, 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.

{To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, A Psalm of David.} 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 God hath despised them.

For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.

Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.

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

He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me.

He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he hath broken his covenant.

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

God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.

Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.

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

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

Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.

{To the chief Musician, A Psalm or Song of David.} Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.

Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor.

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

They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.

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

For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached 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.

This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs.

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

For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.

Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.

Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and that the foolish people have 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, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.

And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he hath established for ever.

And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.

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

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

Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.

I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:

And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague 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.

The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.

Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.

{A Psalm.} O sing unto the LORD a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory.

The LORD hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen.

He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.

Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.

For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth;

He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.

The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;

Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;

He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.

He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.
