The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.

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

Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shade of thy wings.

From men who are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, who have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.

All they that see me deride me: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,

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

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

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

For in the time of trouble he will hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle will he hide me; he will set me up upon a rock.

And now shall my head be lifted above my enemies around me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD.

Hide not thy face 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.

I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

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

A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

To the chief Musician, even to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David. I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.

My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then I spoke with my tongue.

I have not hid 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.

For innumerable evils have encompassed me: my iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of my head: therefore my heart faileth me.

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

When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holy-day.

To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, A Psalm of David. Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.

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.

And I said, O that I had wings like a dove! for then I would fly away, and be at rest.

For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that magnified himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:

Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of my head; Judah is my lawgiver;

Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:

And forgot his works, and his wonders that he had shown them.

Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,

And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.

How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan:

And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink.

He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.

And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased.

O that my people had hearkened to me, and Israel had walked in my ways!

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

For he hath looked down from the hight of his sanctuary; from heaven hath the LORD beheld the earth;

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

He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen.

They forgot God their savior, who had done great things in Egypt;

Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.

Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of my head; Judah is my lawgiver;

BETH. Wherewith shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed to it, according to thy word.

Thy word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against thee.

I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.

The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet I have not declined from thy law.

Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way.

I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love.
