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

Arise, O Jehovah; save me, O my God: For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; Thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.

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

Mine eye wasteth away because of grief; It waxeth old because of all mine adversaries.

All mine enemies shall be put to shame and sore troubled: They shall turn back, they shall be put to shame suddenly.

If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (Yea, I have delivered him that without cause was mine adversary;)

Arise, O Jehovah, in thine anger; Lift up thyself against the rage of mine adversaries, And awake for me; thou hast commanded judgment.

Jehovah ministereth judgment to the peoples: Judge me, O Jehovah, according to my righteousness, and to mine integrity that is in me.

When mine enemies turn back, They stumble and perish at thy presence.

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, Having sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

Consider and answer me, O Jehovah my God: Lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the'sleep of death;

Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; Lest mine adversaries rejoice when I am moved.

Jehovah is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: Thou maintainest my lot.

I will call upon Jehovah, who is worthy to be praised: So shall I be saved from mine enemies.

I was also perfect with him, And I kept myself from mine iniquity.

He teacheth my hands to war; So that mine arms do bend a bow of brass.

I will pursue mine enemies, and overtake them; Neither will I turn again till they are consumed.

Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me, That I might cut off them that hate me.

He rescueth me from mine enemies; Yea, thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me; Thou deliverest me from the violent man.

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

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

For thy name's sake, O Jehovah, Pardon mine iniquity, for it is great.

Mine eyes are ever toward Jehovah; For he will pluck my feet out of the net.

Consider mine affliction and my travail; And forgive all my sins.

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

Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in Jehovah without wavering.

Examine me, O Jehovah, and prove me; Try my heart and my mind.

For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes; And I have walked in thy truth.

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

When evil-doers came upon me to eat up my flesh, Even mine adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.

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

Teach me thy way, O Jehovah; And lead me in a plain path, Because of mine enemies.

Deliver me not over unto the will of mine adversaries: For false witnesses are risen up against me, And such as breathe out cruelty.

Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah, for I am in distress: Mine eye wasteth away with grief, yea , my soul and my body.

For my life is spent with sorrow, And my years with sighing: My strength faileth because of mine iniquity, And my bones are wasted away.

Because of all mine adversaries I am become a reproach, Yea, unto my neighbors exceedingly, 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.

I acknowledged my sin unto thee, And mine iniquity did I not hide: I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah; 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 counsel thee with mine eye upon thee.

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

But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: 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.

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

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

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

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

Jehovah, make me to know mine end, And the measure of my days, what it is; Let me know how frail I am.

Sacrifice and offering thou hast no delight in; Mine ears hast thou opened: Burnt-offering and sin-offering hast thou not required.

For innumerable evils have compassed me about; Mine 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 hath failed me.

Mine enemies speak evil against me,'saying , When will he die, and his name perish?

Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, Who did eat of my bread, Hath lifted up his heel against me.

By this I know that thou delightest in me, Because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.

And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, And settest me before thy face for ever.

As with a sword in my bones, mine adversaries reproach me, While they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?

I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.

For every beast of the forest is mine, And the cattle upon a thousand hills.

I know all the birds of the mountains; And the wild beasts of the field are mine.

If I were hungry, I would not tell thee; For the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.

Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin.

Hide thy face from my sins, And blot out all mine iniquities.

He will requite the evil unto mine enemies: Destroy thou them in thy truth.

For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; And mine eye hath seen my desire upon mine enemies.

But it was thou, a man mine equal, My companion, and my familiar friend.

Mine enemies would swallow me up all the day long; For they are many that fight proudly against me.

Then shall mine enemies turn back in the day that I call: This I know, that God is for me.

Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: Set me on high from them that rise up against me.

My God with his lovingkindness will meet me: God will let me see my desire upon mine enemies.

Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre.

I am weary with my crying; my throat is dried: Mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.

They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head: They that would cut me off, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: That which I took not away I have to restore.

Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: Ransom me because of mine enemies.

Thou knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonor: Mine adversaries are all before thee.

For mine enemies speak concerning me; And they that watch for my soul take counsel together,

Thou holdest mine eyes watching: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart; And my spirit maketh diligent search.

Thou hast put mine acquaintance far from me; Thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.

Mine eye wasteth away by reason of affliction: I have called daily upon thee, O Jehovah; I have spread forth my hands unto thee.

Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, And mine acquaintance into darkness.

With whom my hand shall be established; Mine arm also shall strengthen him.

If his children forsake my law, And walk not in mine ordinances;

Mine eye also hath seen my desire on mine enemies, Mine ears have heard my desire of the evil-doers that rise up against me.

I will set no base thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; It shall not cleave unto me.

Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: He that walketh in a perfect way, he shall minister unto me.

He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: He that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes.

Mine enemies reproach me all the day; They that are mad against me do curse by me.

Saying , Touch not mine anointed ones, And do my prophets no harm.

Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre.

This is the reward of mine adversaries from Jehovah, And of them that speak evil against my soul.

Let mine adversaries be clothed with dishonor, And let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.

For thou hast delivered my soul from death, Mine eyes from tears, And my feet from falling.

Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold Wondrous things out of thy law.

Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity, And quicken me in thy ways.

Mine eyes fail for thy word, While I say, When wilt thou comfort me?

Unless thy law had been my delight, I should then have perished in mine affliction.

Thy commandments make me wiser than mine enemies; For they are ever with me.

SAMEKH. I hate them that are of a double mind; But thy law do I love.

AYIN. I have done justice and righteousness: Leave me not to mine oppressors.

Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, And for thy righteous word.

Streams of water run down mine eyes, Because they observe not thy law.
