But his delight is in the law of Jehovah; And on his law doth he meditate day and night.

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

For Jehovah knoweth the way of the righteous; But the way of the wicked shall perish.

But thou, O Jehovah, art a shield about me; My glory and the lifter up of my head.

But know that Jehovah hath set apart for himself him that is godly: Jehovah will hear when I call unto him.

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.

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

But as for me, in the abundance of thy lovingkindness will I come into thy house: In thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.

But let all those that take refuge in thee rejoice, Let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: Let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

I am weary with my groaning; Every night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.

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

O let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish thou the righteous: For the righteous God trieth the minds and hearts.

He hath made a pit, and digged it, And is fallen into the ditch which he made.

His mischief shall return upon his own head, And his violence shall come down upon his own pate.

For thou hast made him but little lower than God, And crownest him with glory and honor.

Thou makest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet:

But Jehovah sitteth as king for ever: He hath prepared his throne for judgment;

And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; For thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

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

Put them in fear, O Jehovah: Let the nations know themselves to be but men. Selah

Jehovah trieth the righteous; But the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.

But I have trusted in thy lovingkindness; My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

Ye put to shame the counsel of the poor, Because Jehovah is his refuge.

In whose eyes a reprobate is despised, But who honoreth them that fear Jehovah; He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not;

They came upon me in the day of my calamity; But Jehovah was my stay.

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

For thou wilt save the afflicted people; But the haughty eyes thou wilt bring down.

They cried, but there was none to save; Even unto Jehovah, but he answered them not.

Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind; I did cast them out as the mire of the streets.

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.

O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou answerest not; And in the night season, and am not silent.

But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

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

But I am a worm, and no man; A reproach of men, and despised of the people.

But thou art he that took me out of the womb; Thou didst make me trust when I was upon my mother's breasts.

But be not thou far off, O Jehovah: O thou my succor, haste thee to help me.

For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; Neither hath he hid his face from him; But when he cried unto him, he heard.

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

Yea, none that wait for thee shall be put to shame: They shall be put to shame that deal treacherously without cause.

Oh keep my soul, and deliver me: Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in thee.

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

Hide not thy face from me; Put not thy servant away in anger: Thou hast been my help; Cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

Unto thee, O Jehovah, will I call: My rock, be not thou deaf unto me; Lest, if thou be silent unto me, I become like them that go down into the pit.

Draw me not away with the wicked, And with the workers of iniquity; That speak peace with their neighbors, But mischief is in their hearts.

O Jehovah, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol; Thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

For his anger is but for a moment; His favor is for a life-time: Weeping may tarry for the night, But joy cometh in the morning.

What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

In thee, O Jehovah, do I take refuge; Let me never be put to shame: Deliver me in thy righteousness.

I hate them that regard lying vanities; But I trust in Jehovah.

But I trusted in thee, O Jehovah: I said, Thou art my God.

Let me not be put to shame, O Jehovah; for I have called upon thee: Let the wicked be put to shame, let them be silent in Sheol.

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.

Many sorrows shall be to the wicked; But he that trusteth in Jehovah, lovingkindness shall compass him about.

The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger; But they that seek Jehovah shall not want any good thing.

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

Let them be put to shame and brought to dishonor that seek after my soul: Let them be turned back and confounded that devise my hurt.

For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit; Without cause have they digged a pit for my soul.

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:

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

Let them be put to shame and confounded together that rejoice at my hurt: Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor that magnify themselves against me.

He deviseth iniquity upon his bed; He setteth himself in a way that is not good; He abhorreth not evil.

For evil-doers shall be cut off; But those that wait for Jehovah, they shall inherit the land.

But the meek shall inherit the land, And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

For the arms of the wicked shall be broken; But Jehovah upholdeth the righteous.

They shall not be put to shame in the time of evil; And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

But the wicked shall perish, And the enemies of Jehovah shall be as the fat of lambs: They shall consume; In smoke shall they consume away.

The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again; But the righteous dealeth graciously, and giveth.

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

But one passed by, and, lo, he was not: Yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.

But the salvation of the righteous is of Jehovah; He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.

But I, as a deaf man, hear not; And I am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.

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

He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay; And he set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: Many shall see it, and fear, And shall trust in Jehovah.

Let them be put to shame and confounded together That seek after my soul to destroy it: Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor That delight in my hurt.

But I am poor and needy; Yet the Lord thinketh upon me: Thou art my help and my deliverer; Make no tarrying, O my God.

Jehovah will support him upon the couch of languishing: Thou makest all his bed in his sickness.

But thou, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me, and raise me up, That I may requite them.

Thou didst drive out the nations with thy hand; But them thou didst plant: Thou didst afflict the peoples; But them thou didst spread abroad.

For they gat not the land in possession by their own sword, Neither did their own arm save them; But thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, Because thou wast favorable unto them.

But thou hast saved us from our adversaries, And hast put them to shame that hate us.

But now thou hast cast us off, and brought us to dishonor, And goest not forth with our hosts.

But man being in honor abideth not: He is like the beasts that perish.

But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol; For he will receive me. Selah

But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, And that thou hast taken my covenant in thy mouth,

These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; Thou thoughtest that I was altogether such a one as thyself: But I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.

Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength, But trusted in the abundance of his riches, And strengthened himself in his wickedness.

But as for me, I am like a green olive-tree in the house of God: I trust in the lovingkindness of God for ever and ever.

There were they in great fear, where no fear was; For God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: Thou hast put them to shame, because of God hath rejected them.

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

He hath put forth his hands against such as were at peace with him: He hath profaned his covenant.

His mouth was smooth as butter, But his heart was war: His words were softer than oil, Yet were they drawn swords.

But thou, O God, wilt bring them down into the pit of destruction: Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; But I will trust in thee.

What time I am afraid, I will put my trust in thee.

In God (I will praise his word), In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid; What can flesh do unto me?

Thou numberest my wanderings: Put thou my tears into thy bottle; Are they not in thy book?

In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid; What can man do unto me?
