But whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and whose mind is on his law day and night.

Jehovah, how are mine adversaries increased! Many are they that rise up against me.

But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.

Rise, O Jehovah! save me, my God. Because Thou hast smitten All mine enemies on the cheek. The teeth of the wicked Thou hast broken.

When I cry, answer me, O mine own righteous God, In a strait place, thou hast made room for me, Show me favour, and hear my prayer.

O ye sons of men, how long will ye blaspheme mine honour, and have such pleasure in vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.

Lead me, O Jehovah, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; Make thy way straight before my face.

Old from provocation is mine eye, It is old because of all mine adversaries,

Ashamed and troubled greatly are all mine enemies, They turn back -- ashamed in a moment!

If I have done my well-wisher evil, And draw mine adversary without cause,

Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.

Rise, O Jehovah, in Thine anger, Be lifted up at the wrath of mine adversaries, And awake Thou for me: Judgment Thou hast commanded:

Jehovah doth judge the peoples; Judge me, O Jehovah, According to my righteousness, And according to mine integrity on me,

What is man, that you keep him in mind? the son of man, that you take him into account?

In mine enemies turning backward, they stumble and perish from Thy face.

Favour me, O Jehovah, See mine affliction by those hating me, Thou who liftest me up from the gates of death,

For the evil-doer is lifted up because of the purpose of his heart, and he whose mind is fixed on wealth is turned away from the Lord, saying evil against him.

Till when do I set counsels in my soul? Sorrow in my heart daily? Till when is mine enemy exalted over me?

Look attentively; Answer me, O Jehovah, my God, Enlighten mine eyes, lest I sleep in death,

Lest mine enemy say, 'I overcame him,' Mine adversaries joy when I am moved.

Lest mine enemy shall say, I prevailed against him; mine adversaries shall exult when I shall be moved.

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

I will bless Yahweh, who hath counselled me, - Surely, by night, shall mine impulses admonish me.

I keep the Lord in mind always.
Because He is at my right hand,
I will not be shaken.

Therefore, hath my heart rejoiced, and mine honour exulted, Yea, my flesh, shall settle down securely;

Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.

From the face of the wicked who spoiled me. Mine enemies in soul go round against me.

The LORD is my stony rock, and my defense, my Saviour, my God, and my might, in whom I will trust, my buckler, the horn also of my salvation, and my refuge. {TYNDALE: The LORD is my rock, my castle and my deliverer. God is my strength, and in him will I trust: my shield and the horn that defendeth me: mine high hold and refuge.}

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

In mine adversity I call Jehovah, And unto my God I cry. He heareth from His temple my voice, And My cry before Him cometh into His ears.

And he sent his arrows, and scattered mine enemies; and he shot forth lightnings, and discomfited them.

Indeed, I have kept all His ordinances in mind
and have not disregarded His statutes.

And I am perfect with him, And I keep myself from mine iniquity.

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

Thou enlargest my step under me, And mine ankles have not slidden.

I pursue mine enemies, and overtake them, And turn back not till they are consumed.

Thus didst thou gird me with strength, for the battle, Thou subduedst mine assailants under me.

As to mine enemies -- Thou hast given to me the neck, As to those hating me -- I cut them off.

My deliverer from mine enemies, Above my withstanders Thou raisest me, From a man of violence dost deliver me.

May he keep all your offerings in mind, and be pleased with the fat of your burned offerings; (Selah.)

Grant thee thy heart's desire, and fulfill all thy mind.

Deliver from the sword my soul, From the paw of a dog mine only one.

All the ends of the earth will keep it in mind and be turned to the Lord: all the families of the nations will give him worship.

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

The one who has clean hands and a pure heart,
who has not set his mind on what is false,
and who has not sworn deceitfully.

My God, in Thee I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed, Let not mine enemies exult over me.

O Lord, keep in mind your pity and your mercies; for they have been from the earliest times.

Do not keep in mind my sins when I was young, or my wrongdoing: let your memory of me be full of mercy, O Lord, because of your righteousness.

For Thy name's sake, O Jehovah, Thou hast pardoned mine iniquity, for it is great.

Mine eyes are continually unto Jehovah, For He bringeth out from a net my feet.

See mine affliction and my misery, And bear with all my sins.

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

By David. Judge me, O Jehovah, for I in mine integrity have walked, And in Jehovah I have trusted, I slide not.

Prove me, O Yahweh, and test me. Try my {innermost being} and my {mind}.

For Thy kindness is before mine eyes, And I have walked habitually in Thy truth.

I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O LORD:

And I, in mine integrity I walk, Redeem me, and favour me.

When evil doers come near to me to eat my flesh, My adversaries and mine enemies to me, They have stumbled and fallen.

And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.

My mind recalls your word, "Seek my face," so your face, LORD, I will seek.

Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.

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

For they regard not in their mind the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands: therefore shall he break them down, and not build them up.

A Psalm. -- A song of the dedication of the house of David. I exalt Thee, O Jehovah, For Thou hast drawn me up, and hast not let mine enemies rejoice over me.

And I -- I have said in mine ease, 'I am not moved -- to the age.

To the end that mine honour should make melody unto thee, and not be silent. O Yahweh, my God! Unto times age-abiding, will I praise thee.

I rejoice, and am glad in Thy kindness, In that Thou hast seen mine affliction, Thou hast known in adversities my soul.

Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.

For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.

I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without fled from me.

I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.

My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.

But, I, had said in mine alarm, I am cut off from before thine eyes, - But, indeed, thou didst hear the voice of my supplication, when I cried for help unto thee.

I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.

But the LORD's counsel stands firm forever, the plans in his mind for all generations.

Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.

But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.

Like as for a friend, like as for a brother of mine own, I walked to and fro, As though mourning for a mother, I gloomily bowed myself down.

But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea, the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not:

Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.

Let them not say in their heart, Aha! to our mind! Let them not say, We have swallowed him up!

Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against me.

Mine own tongue also, shall softly utter thy righteousness, - All the day long, - thy praise!

For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

For mine iniquities passed over my head: as a heavy lifting up they will be loaded above me.

My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.

My lovers and mine associates stand aloof from my stroke; and my kinsmen stand afar off.

My desire is that mine enemies triumph not over me; for if my foot slip, they rejoice greatly against me.

For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.

But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is.

And they requiting evil for good will be mine adversaries, for my pursuing Thou Thou wilt not forsake me, O Jehovah: my God, thou wilt not remove far off from me.

LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am.

Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah.

Deliver me from all mine offenses; and make me not a rebuke unto the foolish.

Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.

To do thy good-pleasure, O my God, is my delight, And, thy law, is in the midst of mine inward parts:

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

Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be turned backward and confounded that take pleasure in mine adversity;
