Hearken unto the voice of my crying, my king and my God; for to thee will I pray.

The words of Jehovah are pure words, silver tried in the furnace of earth, purified seven times.

He is like a lion that is greedy of its prey, and as a young lion lurking in secret places.

With the pure thou dost shew thyself pure; and with the perverse thou dost shew thyself contrary.

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

For thou hast met him with the blessings of goodness; thou hast set a crown of pure gold on his head.

Be thou exalted, Jehovah, in thine own strength: we will sing and celebrate thy power.

Deliver my soul from the sword; my only one from the power of the dog;

He that hath blameless hands and a pure heart; who lifteth not up his soul unto vanity, nor sweareth deceitfully:

The voice of Jehovah maketh the hinds to calve, and layeth bare the forests; and in his temple doth every one say, Glory!

For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee at a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they will not reach him.

The horse is a vain thing for safety; neither doth he deliver by his great power.

Evil shall destroy the wicked; and they that hate the righteous shall bear their guilt.

Jehovah redeemeth the soul of his servants; and none of them that trust in him shall bear guilt.

I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading like a green tree in its native soil:

{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} Blessed is he that understandeth the poor: Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil.

Both men of low and men of high degree, rich and poor alike.

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

Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray and moan aloud; and he will hear my voice.

Slay them not, lest my people forget; by thy power make them wander, and bring them down, O Lord, our shield.

Confide in him at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before him: God is our refuge. Selah.

To see thy power and thy glory, as I have beheld thee in the sanctuary;

They shall be given over to the power of the sword; they shall be the portion of foxes.

Who by his strength established the mountains, being girded with power;

He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes observe the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.

Thou, O God, didst pour a plentiful rain upon thine inheritance, and when it was weary thou strengthenedst it.

Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let the fierceness of thine anger take hold of them.

He will have compassion on the poor and needy, and will save the souls of the needy:

{A Psalm of Asaph.} Truly God is good to Israel, to such as are of a pure heart.

More glorious art thou, more excellent, than the mountains of prey.

Pour out thy fury upon the nations that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that call not upon thy name:

The boar out of the forest doth waste it, and the beast of the field doth feed off it.

Judge the poor and the fatherless, do justice to the afflicted and the destitute;

Rescue the poor and needy, deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.

What man liveth, and shall not see death? Shall he deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah.

Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants that I bear in my bosom that of all the mighty peoples --

Who knoweth the power of thine anger? and thy wrath according to the fear of thee?

They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

The young lions roar after the prey, and to seek their food from God.

And they joined themselves unto Baal-Peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead;

Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in holy splendour: from the womb of the morning shall come to thee the dew of thy youth.

He hath shewn his people the power of his works, to give them the heritage of the nations.

He raiseth up the poor out of the dust; from the dung-hill he lifteth up the needy,

Thy word is exceeding pure, and thy servant loveth it.

My lips shall pour forth praise when thou hast taught me thy statutes.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

Blessed be Jehovah, who gave us not up a prey to their teeth!

Remember, O Jehovah, against the sons of Edom, the day of Jerusalem; who said, Lay it bare, Lay it bare, down to its foundation!

I pour out my plaint before him; I shew before him my trouble.

They shall tell of the glory of thy kingdom, and speak of thy power;

Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.

Hallelujah! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in the firmament of his power.
