Yea, I have set My king on My holy hill, on Zion.

I will declare the decree of Jehovah. He has said to Me, You are My Son; today I have begotten You.

Ask of Me, and I shall give the nations for Your inheritance; and the uttermost parts of the earth for Your possession.

A Psalm of David, when he fled from his son Absalom. O Lord, how my foes have increased! Many are the ones who rise up against me.

Many are saying of my soul, There is no deliverance for him in God. Selah.

But You, O Jehovah, are a shield for me; my glory, the One who lifts up my head.

I cried to Jehovah with my voice, and He heard me out of His holy hill. Selah.

I laid down and slept. I awoke, for Jehovah kept me.

I am not afraid of ten thousands of people who have set against me all around.

Arise, O Jehovah; save me, O my God; for You have struck all my enemies on the cheekbone. You have broken the teeth of the ungodly.

To the Chief Musician, for stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness; You gave room to me in trouble; have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.

O sons of men, how long will you turn My glory into shame? Will you love vanity and seek after a lie? Selah.

You have put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their grain and their wine increased.

I will lie down, both in peace and in sleep. For You alone, Jehovah, make me dwell in safety.

To the Chief Musician, for flutes. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O Jehovah; consider my meditation.

Listen to the voice of my cry, my King and my God; for to You I will pray.

Lead me, O Jehovah, in Your righteousness, because of my enemies; make Your way straight before my face.

To the Chief Musician, for eight-stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, rebuke me not in Your anger, nor chasten me in the heat of Your fury.

Have mercy on me, O Jehovah, for I am weak; O Jehovah, heal me, for my bones are troubled.

My soul also is exceedingly troubled; but You, O Jehovah, how long?

Return, O Jehovah, return; deliver my soul; save me for Your mercy's sake.

I am weary in my groaning; all the night I make my bed swim; I melt my couch with my tears.

My eye is dim because of grief; it wastes away because of all my enemies.

Depart from me, all workers of iniquity; for Jehovah has heard the voice of my weeping.

Jehovah has heard my cry; Jehovah will receive my prayer.

Let all my enemies be ashamed and exceedingly troubled; let them turn back and be ashamed in a moment.

A song of David, which he sang to Jehovah, concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite. O Jehovah my God, in You I put my trust; save me from all who pursue me, and deliver me,

lest he tear my soul like a lion, tearing it in pieces, and there is no one to deliver.

O Jehovah my God, if I have done this; if there is iniquity in my hands;

if I have rewarded evil to my friend, or if I have delivered one oppressing me without cause;

let the enemy persecute my soul and take it; yea, let him trample down my life on the earth and lay my honor in the dust. Selah.

Arise, O Jehovah, in Your anger; lift up Yourself because of the rage of my enemies, and awake for me to the judgment which You have commanded.

Jehovah shall judge the people; judge me, O Jehovah, according to my righteousness, and according to my integrity on me.

My defense is from God, who saves the upright in heart.

To the Chief Musician. To die for the Son. A Psalm of David. I will praise You, O Jehovah, with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your marvelous works.

When my enemies have turned back, they shall fall and perish before You.

For You have maintained my right and my cause; You sat in the throne judging right.

Have mercy on me, O Jehovah; see my trouble from those who hate me, You who lift me up from the gates of death,

so that I may declare all Your praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion; I will rejoice in Your salvation.

to judge the fatherless and the oppressed, so that the man of the earth may no more terrify.

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. I put my trust in Jehovah; how can you say to me, Flee like a bird to the mountains;

for lo, the wicked bend their bow; they make ready their arrow on the string, so that they may secretly shoot at the upright in heart.

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. How long will You forget me, O Jehovah? Forever? How long will You hide Your face from me?

How long shall I take counsel in my heart having sorrow in my heart daily? How long shall my enemy be lifted up over me?

Look! Answer me, O Jehovah my God; enlighten my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death,

lest my enemy say, I have overcome him, and my foes rejoice when I am shaken.

But I have trusted in Your mercy; my heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.

I will sing to Jehovah, because He has rewarded me.

Have all the workers of iniquity not known, eating up My people as they eat bread? They have not called on Jehovah.

A Secret Treasure of David. Watch over me, O God; for in You do I put my trust.

Oh my soul, you have said to Jehovah, You are my Lord; I have no goodness apart from You.

As to the saints in the earth, they are the excellent, in whom is all my delight.

Their sorrows shall be multiplied who run after another god. I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood; and I will not take their names on my lips.

Jehovah is the portion of my inheritance, and of my cup; You shall uphold my lot.

The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; yea, I have a beautiful inheritance.

I will bless Jehovah, who has given me wisdom; my heart also instructs me in the nights.

I have set Jehovah always before Me; because He is at My right hand, I shall not be moved.

Therefore My heart is glad, and My glory rejoices; My flesh also shall rest in hope;

For You will not leave My soul in hell; You will not allow Your Holy One to see corruption.

You will make Me know the way of life; in Your presence is fullness of joys. At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

A Prayer of David. Hear the right, O Jehovah; listen to my cry; Give ear to my prayer, for it is not in lips of deceit.

Let my judgment go out from Your presence; let Your eyes behold uprightly.

You have proved my heart; You have visited me in the night; You have tried me, and You will find nothing; my thoughts do not pass beyond my mouth.

My steps have been held in Your paths, so that my footsteps have not slipped.

I have called on You, for You will hear me, O God; bow down Your ear to me; hear my speech.

Set out Your wonderful loving-kindness, O Savior of those seeking refuge in You, by Your right hand, from those who rise up against me.

Keep me as the pupil, the daughter of the eye; hide me under the shadow of Your wings,

from the face of the wicked who strip me. Those against my soul, My foes, encircle me.

they have now hemmed in our steps, they have set their eyes to bow me to the earth,

Arise, O Jehovah, disappoint him, bow him down; deliver my soul from the wicked by Your sword,

As for me, I will behold Your face in righteousness; when I awake, I shall be satisfied with Your image.

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David, the servant of Jehovah, who spoke to Jehovah the words of this song in the day that Jehovah delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul; and he said: I love You, O Jehovah, my strength.

Jehovah is my strength, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock; I will trust in Him; He is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.

I will call on Jehovah, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies.

The sorrows of death hemmed me in, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.

The sorrows of hell surrounded me; the snares of death confronted me.

In my distress I called on Jehovah, and I cried to my God; He heard my voice out of His temple, and my cry came before Him, into His ears.

He sent from above, He took me, He drew me out of many waters.

He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from those who hated me; for they were too strong for me.

They went before me in the day of my calamity; but Jehovah was my stay.

He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me because He delighted in me.

Jehovah rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands He has repaid me.

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

For all His judgments were before me, and I did not put away His Precepts from me.

I was also upright before Him, and I kept myself from my iniquity.

And Jehovah has returned to me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in His eyes.

For You will light my candle; Jehovah my God will make my darkness light.

For by You I have run through a troop; and by my God I have leaped over a wall.

It is God who girds me with strength and makes my way perfect.

He makes my feet like hinds' feet, and sets me on my high places.

He teaches my hands to war, so that a bow of bronze is bent by my arms.

You have also given me the shield of Your salvation; and Your right hand has held me up, and Your gentleness has made me great.

You have given a wide place for my steps under me, so that my feet have not slipped.

I have pursued my enemies and overtaken them; nor did I turn again until they were destroyed.

I have shattered them, and they cannot rise again; they have fallen under my feet.

For You have girded me with strength for the battle; You have humbled under me those who rose up against me.

You have also given me the neck of my enemies; so that I might destroy those who hate me.

You have delivered Me from the strivings of the people; You have made Me the head of the nations; a people whom I have not known shall serve Me.

As soon as they hear of Me, they shall obey Me; the sons of strangers shall bow down to Me.
