Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful.

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

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he does shall prosper.

The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.

Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

For you are not a God that has pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with you.

The foolish shall not stand in your sight: you hate all workers of iniquity.

[To the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. According to sheminith. A Psalm of David.] O LORD, rebuke me not in your anger, neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.

I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed wet with tears; I water my couch with my tears.

If he turns not, he will whet his sword; he has bent his bow, and made it ready.

And they that know your name will put their trust in you: for you, LORD, have not forsaken them that seek you.

When he avenges blood, he remembers them: he forgets not the cry of the humble.

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

For the needy shall not always be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish forever.

Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the nations be judged in your sight.

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

He has said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.

He lies in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lies in wait to catch the poor: he does catch the poor, when he draws him into his net.

Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up your hand: forget not the humble.

Why does the wicked renounce God? he has said in his heart, You will not require it.

They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that does 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.

He that backbites not with his tongue, nor does evil to his neighbor, nor takes up a reproach against his neighbor.

In whose eyes a vile person is despised; but he honors them that fear the LORD. He that swears to his own hurt, and changes not.

He that puts not out his money at interest, nor takes reward against the innocent. He that does these things shall never be moved.

O my soul, you have said unto the LORD, You are my Lord: my goodness reaches not to you;

Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names upon my lips.

I will bless the LORD, who has given me counsel: my heart also instructs me in the night seasons.

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

For you will not leave my soul in sheol; neither will you allow your Holy One to see corruption.

[A prayer of David.] Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goes not out of feigned lips.

You have proved my heart; you have visited me in the night; you have tested me, and shall find nothing; I have purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.

Hold up my steps in your paths, that my feet slip not.

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

For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.

You have enlarged my path under me, that my feet did not slip.

I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.

They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.

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

Day unto day utters speech, and night unto night shows knowledge.

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

Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent of great transgression.

You have given him his heart's desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah.

For the king trusts in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.

For they intended evil against you: they devised a mischievous act, which they are not able to perform.

O my God, I cry in the daytime, but you hear not; and in the night season, and am not silent.

They cried unto you, and were delivered: they trusted in you, and were not disappointed.

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

But be not far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste you to help me.

For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither has he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.

[A Psalm of David.] The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not lack.

He that has clean hands, and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

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

Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to your mercy remember me for your goodness' sake, O LORD.

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

O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in you.

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

I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with hypocrites.

I have hated the congregation of evildoers; and will not sit with the wicked.

Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:

Though a host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.

Hide not your face far from me; put not your servant away in anger: you have been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

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

[A Psalm of David.] Unto you will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if you be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.

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

Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.

[A Psalm of David. A song at the dedication of the house of David.] I will extol you, O LORD; for you have lifted me up, and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.

O LORD, you have brought up my soul from the grave: you have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

For his anger endures but for a moment; in his favor is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

To the end that my glory may sing praise to you, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto you forever.

Pull me out of the net that they have laid secretly for me: for you are my strength.

And have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: you have set my feet in a wide place.

Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon you: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.

Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputes not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.

For day and night your hand was heavy upon me: my strength is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.

I acknowledged my sin unto you, and my iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

For this shall every one that is godly pray unto you in a time when you may be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come near unto him.

Be you not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, else they come not near unto you.

There is no king saved by the multitude of a host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.

They looked unto him, and were radiant: and their faces were not ashamed.

The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing.

He keeps all his bones: not one of them is broken.

For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have dug for my soul.

Let destruction come upon him unawares; and let his net that he has hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.

False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not.

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

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

For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.

This you have seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O LORD, be not far from me.

Judge me, O LORD my God, according to your righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.

Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.

He devises mischief upon his bed; he sets himself in a way that is not good; he abhors not evil.

Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.

There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.

[A Psalm of David.] Fret not yourself because of evildoers, neither be you envious of the workers of iniquity.

Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not yourself because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked devices to pass.

Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not yourself in any way to do evil.

For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, you shall diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.
