He who sits in the heavens will laugh. LORD will have them in derision.

Yet I have set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

I will tell of the decree. LORD said to me, Thou are my son, this day I have begotten thee.

I will not be afraid of ten thousands of the people who have set themselves against me round about.

Arise, O LORD. Save me, O my God. For thou have smitten all my enemies upon the cheek bone. Thou have broken the teeth of the wicked.

Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness. Thou have enlarged me in distress. Have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

Thou have put gladness in my heart more than when their grain and their new wine are increased.

Hold them guilty, O God. Let them fall by their own counsels. Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions. For they have rebelled against thee.

Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am withered away. O LORD, heal me, for my bones are troubled.

O LORD my God, if I have done this, if there be iniquity in my hands,

if I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me, (yea, I have delivered him without cause who was my adversary),

Arise, O LORD, in thine anger. Lift up thyself against the rage of my adversaries, and awake for me the justice thou have commanded.

Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou have {perfected praise (LXX/NT)}, because of thine adversaries, that thou might still the enemy and the avenger.

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

For thou have made him but little lower than [heavenly] agents, and crowned him with glory and honor.

Thou make him to have dominion over the works of thy hands. Thou have put all things under his feet.

For thou have maintained my right and my cause. Thou sit in the throne judging righteously.

Thou have rebuked the nations. Thou have destroyed the wicked. Thou have blotted out their name forever and ever.

The enemy have come to an end. They are desolate forever, and the cities which thou have overthrown. The very memory of them is perished,

And those who know thy name will put their trust in thee, for thou, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek thee.

Have mercy upon me, O LORD. Behold my affliction from those who hate me, thou who lifts me up from the gates of death

In the pride of the wicked man the poor man is hotly pursued. Let them be taken in the devices that they have conceived.

Thou have seen. For thou behold mischief and spite, to repay with thy hand. The poor man commits [himself] to thee. Thou have been the helper of the fatherless.

LORD is King forever and ever. The nations have perished out of his land.

LORD, thou have heard the desire of the humble. Thou will prepare their heart, thou will cause thine ear to hear,

who have said, With our tongue will we prevail. Our lips are our own. Who is lord over us?

lest my enemy say, I have prevailed against him, [lest] my adversaries rejoice when I am moved.

But I have trusted in thy loving kindness. My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt. They have done abominable works. There is none that does good.

Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people [as] they eat bread, and call not upon LORD?

Thou [my soul] have said to LORD, Thou are my LORD. I have no good beyond thee.

The lines are fallen to me in pleasant places. Yea, I have a fine heritage.

Thou have proved my heart. Thou have visited me in the night. Thou have tried me, and find nothing. I have purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.

As for the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept from the ways of a violent man.

My steps have held fast to thy paths. My feet have not slipped.

I have called upon thee, for thou will answer me, O God. Incline thine ear to me, [and] hear my speech.

They have now encompassed us in our steps. They set their eyes to cast down to the earth.

For I have kept the ways of LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

Thou have also given me the shield of thy salvation, and thy right hand has held me up, and thy gentleness has made me great.

Thou have enlarged my steps under me, and my feet have not slipped.

For thou have girded me with strength to the battle. Thou have subdued under me those who rose up against me.

Thou have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.

Thou have delivered me from the strivings of the people. Thou have made me the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known shall serve me.

Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous [sins]. Let them not have dominion over me. Then I shall be upright, and I shall be clear from great transgression.

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

My God, my God, why have thou forsaken me, far from helping me, [and] the words of my groaning?

Many bulls have encompassed me. Strong bulls of Bashan have beset me around.

My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue clings to my jaws, and thou have brought me into the dust of death.

For dogs have encompassed me. A company of evil-doers have enclosed me. {They pierced (LXX/DSS)} my hands and my feet.

Save me from the lion's mouth, yea, from the horns of the wild-oxen. Thou have answered me.

Thou prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. Thou have anointed my head with oil. My cup runs over.

O my God, in thee I have trusted. Let me not be put to shame. Let not my enemies triumph over me.

Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy loving kindness. For they have been ever of old.

Turn thee to me, and have mercy upon me, for I am desolate and afflicted.

Judge me, O LORD, for I have walked in my integrity. I have also trusted in LORD without wavering.

For thy loving kindness is before my eyes, and I have walked in thy truth.

I have not sat with men of falsehood, nor will I go in with dissemblers.

One thing I have asked of LORD, that I will seek after, that I may dwell in the house of LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of LORD, and to inquire in his temple.

Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice. Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

My heart said to thee, I have sought thy face. O LORD, I will seek thy face.

Hide not thy face from me. Put not thy servant away in anger. Thou have been my help. Cast me not off, nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.

I will extol thee, O LORD, for thou have raised me up, and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.

O LORD my God, I cried to thee, and thou have healed me.

O LORD, thou have brought up my soul from Sheol. Thou have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me. LORD, be thou my helper.

Thou have turned for me my mourning into dancing. Thou have loosed my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness,

Pluck me out of the net that they have laid secretly for me, for thou are my stronghold.

Into thy hand I commend my spirit. Thou have redeemed me, O LORD, thou God of truth.

I will be glad and rejoice in thy loving kindness, for thou have seen my affliction. Thou have known my soul in adversities,

and thou have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy. Thou have set my feet in a large place.

Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in distress. My eye wastes away with grief, [yea], my soul and my body.

I have become a reproach because of all my adversaries, yea, to my neighbors exceedingly, and a fear to my acquaintances. Those who saw me outside fled from me.

For I have heard the slander of many. Fear [was] on every side, while they took counsel together against me. They devised to take away my life.

Let me not be put to shame, O LORD, for I have called upon thee. Let the wicked be put to shame. Let them be silent in Sheol.

O how great is thy goodness, which thou have laid up for those who fear thee, which thou have wrought for those who take refuge in thee before the sons of men!

Become ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding, whose trappings must be bit and bridle to hold them in, [else] they will not come near to thee.

For our heart shall rejoice in him because we have trusted in his holy name.

Let thy loving kindness, O LORD, be upon us, according as we have hoped in thee.

For without cause they have hid their net for me [in] a pit. Without cause have they dug [a pit] for my soul.

Thou have seen it, O LORD. Keep not silence. O LORD, be not far from me.

Let them not say in their heart, Aha, so would we have it. Let them not say, We have swallowed him up.

The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, to kill such as are upright in the way.

I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen a righteous man forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

I have seen a wicked man in great power, and spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.

and LORD helps them, and rescues them. He rescues them from sinners, and saves them, because they have taken refuge in him.

For my iniquities have gone over my head. As a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

I am faint and severely bruised. I have groaned because of the disquietness of my heart.

Behold, thou have made my days [as] handbreadths, and my life-time is as nothing before thee. Surely every man at his best condition is altogether vanity. Selah.

When thou have corrected man with rebukes for iniquity, thou make his beauty to disintegrate like a moth. Surely every man is vanity. Selah.

Many, O LORD my God, are the wonderful works which thou have done, and thy thoughts which are toward us. They cannot be set in order to thee. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

Sacrifice and offering thou did not desire, {but a body thou have prepared for me (LXX/NT)}. Whole burnt-offering and sacrifice for sin thou did not require.

Then I said, Lo, I have come. In the volume of a book it is written of me.

I have proclaimed glad tidings of righteousness in the great assembly. Lo, I will not refrain my lips. O LORD, thou know.

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 assembly.

for innumerable evils have encompassed me around. My 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 has failed me.

I said, O LORD, have mercy upon me. Heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee.

But thou, O LORD, have mercy upon me, and raise me up that I may requite them.

My tears have been my food day and night, while they continually say to me, Where is thy God?

Deep calls to deep at the noise of thy waterfalls. All thy waves and thy billows have gone over me.

I will say to God my rock, Why have thou forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
