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

Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.

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

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

Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.

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

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.

Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.

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

When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

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

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.

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

I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.

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

I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.

Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.

He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.

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

O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.

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

Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.

Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.

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

{A Psalm of David.} Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.

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

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

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

When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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

My heart panteth, 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 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.

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.

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

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.

Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?

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

By this I know that thou favourest 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 enemies reproach me; while they say daily 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 fowls 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 throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

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

Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.

He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.

For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.

But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.

Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High.

When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.

{To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.} Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.

The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies.

Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;

I am weary of 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 mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.

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

Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.

For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,

Thou holdest mine eyes waking: 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 made diligent search.

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

Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out 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.

Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.

I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to 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 serve me.

Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me.

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

Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;

Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul.

Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.

For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.

Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

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

Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way.

Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
