Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.

Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.

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

There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.

For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.

For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.

My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?

For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?

Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.

Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)

The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.

My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.

God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.

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

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

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.

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

The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.

The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.

His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.

His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.

He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.

The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.

{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.} In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?

The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD'S throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.

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

The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

{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.

They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

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

There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.

Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge.

In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.

But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.

The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.

I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

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

They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;

Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.

Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword:

From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which 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.

As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.

The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.

For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God?

It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.

He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.

Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.

As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.

It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.

There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.

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,

Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.

His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.

The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.

Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.

Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.

His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him.

Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.

Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.

They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.

I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.

My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.

For the kingdom is the LORD'S: and he is the governor among the nations.

{A Psalm of David.} The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

{A Psalm of David.} The earth is the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.

Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.

Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.

Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.

All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.

What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.

The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.

For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.

In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.

But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.

{A Psalm of David.} The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.

The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed.

The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the LORD is upon many waters.

The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty.

For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?
