The wicked are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way, For his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all they that take refuge in him.

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

Many there are that say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah

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

Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, And put your trust in Jehovah.

Many there are that say, Who will show us any good? Jehovah, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

Thou hast put gladness in my heart, More than they have when their grain and their new wine are increased.

Give ear to my words, O Jehovah, Consider my meditation.

Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; for I am withered away: O Jehovah, heal me; for my bones are troubled.

O Jehovah, our Lord, How excellent is thy name in all the earth, Who hast set thy glory upon the heavens!

O Jehovah, our Lord, How excellent is thy name in all the earth!

The enemy are come to an end, they are desolate for ever; And the cities which thou hast overthrown, The very remembrance of them is perished.

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

The wicked, in the pride of his countenance,'saith , He will not require it . All his thoughts are, There is no God.

His ways are firm at all times; Thy judgments are far above out of his sight: As for all his adversaries, he puffeth at them.

He sitteth in the lurking-places of the villages; In the secret places doth he murder the innocent; His eyes are privily set against the helpless.

Jehovah is King for ever and ever: The nations are perished out of his land.

Jehovah, thou hast heard the desire of the meek: Thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear;

In Jehovah do I take refuge: How say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain;

For, lo, the wicked bend the bow, They make ready their arrow upon the string, That they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart;

Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; Our lips are our own: who is lord over us?

The words of Jehovah are pure words; As silver tried in a furnace on the earth, Purified seven times.

The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works; There is none that doeth good.

Jehovah looked down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there were any that did understand, That did seek after God.

They are all gone aside; they are together become filthy; There is none that doeth good, no, not one.

There were they in great fear; For God is in the generation of the righteous.

Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When Jehovah bringeth back the captivity of his people, Then shall Jacob rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

As for the saints that are in the earth, They are the excellent in whom is all my delight.

The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; Yea, I have a goodly heritage.

Thou wilt show me the path of life: In thy presence is fulness of joy; In thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

Hear the right, O Jehovah, attend unto my cry; Give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.

I have called upon thee, for thou wilt answer me, O God: Incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.

They are inclosed in their own fat: With their mouth they speak proudly.

They have now compassed us in our steps; They set their eyes to cast us down to the earth.

He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey, And as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.

From men by thy hand, O Jehovah, From men of the world, whose portion is in this life, And whose belly thou fillest with thy treasure: They are satisfied with children, And leave the rest of their substance to their babes.

The cords of Sheol were round about me; The snares of death came upon me.

Then the earth shook and trembled; The foundations also of the mountains quaked And were shaken, because he was wroth.

There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, And fire out of his mouth devoured: Coals were kindled by it.

Then the channels of waters appeared, And the foundations of the world were laid bare, At thy rebuke, O Jehovah, At the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.

He delivered me from my strong enemy, And from them that hated me; for they were too mighty for me.

For all his ordinances were before me, And I put not away his statutes from me.

For who is God, save Jehovah? And who is a rock, besides our God,

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.

The precepts of Jehovah are right, rejoicing the heart: The commandment of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes.

The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring for ever: The ordinances of Jehovah are true, and righteous altogether.

More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the droppings of the honeycomb.

We will triumph in thy salvation, And in the name of our God we will set up our banners: Jehovah fulfil all thy petitions.

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; But we will make mention of the name of Jehovah our God.

They are bowed down and fallen; But we are risen, and stand upright.

For they intended evil against thee; They conceived a device which they are not able to perform.

Our fathers trusted in thee: They trusted, and thou didst deliver them.

They cried unto thee, and were delivered: They trusted in thee, and were not put to shame.

I am poured out like water, And all my bones are out of joint: My heart is like wax; It is melted within me.

The meek shall eat and be satisfied; They shall praise Jehovah that seek after him: Let your heart live for ever.

Lift up your heads, O ye gates; And be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors: And the King of glory will come in.

Lift up your heads, O ye gates; Yea, lift them up, ye everlasting doors: And the King of glory will come in.

All the paths of Jehovah are lovingkindness and truth Unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

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

The troubles of my heart are enlarged: Oh bring thou me out of my distresses.

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

Jehovah, I love the habitation of thy house, And the place where thy glory dwelleth.

Though a host should encamp against me, My heart shall not fear: Though war should rise against me, Even then will I be confident.

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

Ascribe unto Jehovah the glory due unto his name; Worship Jehovah in holy array.

Bow down thine ear unto me; deliver me speedily: Be thou to me a strong rock, A house of defence to save me.

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.

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

Be strong, and let your heart take courage, All ye that hope in Jehovah.

Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding; Whose trappings must be bit and bridle to hold them in, Else they will not come near unto thee.

Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, ye righteous; And shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.

By the word of Jehovah were the heavens made, And all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

Our soul hath waited for Jehovah: He is our help and our shield.

For our heart shall rejoice in him, Because we have trusted in his holy name.

They looked unto him, and were radiant; And their faces shall never be confounded.

The eyes of Jehovah are toward the righteous, And his ears are open unto their cry.

Jehovah is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart, And saveth such as are of a contrite spirit.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous; But Jehovah delivereth him out of them all.

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.

I behaved myself as though it had been my friend or my brother: I bowed down mourning, as one that bewaileth his mother.

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 they speak not peace; But they devise deceitful words against them that are quiet in the land.

Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me; They said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.

The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: He hath ceased to be wise and to do good.

Thy righteousness is like the mountains of God; Thy judgments are a great deep: O Jehovah, thou preservest man and beast.

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

The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, To cast down the poor and needy, To slay such as are upright in the way.

For such as are blessed of him shall inherit the land; And they that are cursed of him shall be cut off.

A man's goings are established of Jehovah; And he delighteth in his way.

For Jehovah loveth justice, And forsaketh not his saints; They are preserved for ever: But the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

Wait for Jehovah, and keep his way, And he will exalt thee to inherit the land: When the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

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

My wounds are loathsome and corrupt, Because of my foolishness.

For my loins are filled with burning; And there is no soundness in my flesh.

Yea, I am as a man that heareth not, And in whose mouth are no reproofs.

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

They also that render evil for good Are adversaries unto me, because I follow the thing that is good.

Surely every man walketh in a vain show; Surely they are disquieted in vain: He heapeth up riches , and knoweth not who shall gather them.
