For there is no certainty in their mouth; their inward part is perversion, their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.

Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, yea, he hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood:

The wicked, in his pride, doth hotly pursue the afflicted. They shall be taken in the devices that they have imagined.

{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} In Jehovah have I put my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?

Jehovah will cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that speaketh proud things,

Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, eating up my people as they eat bread? They call not upon Jehovah.

And he brought me forth into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.

Jehovah, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol, thou hast quickened me from among those that go down to the pit.

Let the lying lips become dumb, which speak insolently against the righteous in pride and contempt.

Love Jehovah, all ye his saints. Jehovah preserveth the faithful, and plentifully requiteth the proud doer.

Let them be put to shame and confounded that seek after my life; let them be turned backward and brought to confusion that devise my hurt:

With profane jesters for bread, they have gnashed their teeth against me.

Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine adversity; let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against me.

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

I have been young, and now am old, and I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed seeking bread:

And he brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock; he hath established my goings:

Blessed is the man that hath made Jehovah his confidence, and turneth not to the proud, and to such as turn aside to lies.

Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be turned backward and confounded that take pleasure in mine adversity;

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

My tears have been my bread day and night, while they say unto me all the day, Where is thy God?

Thou makest us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.

She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of embroidery; the virgins behind her, her companions, shall be brought in unto thee:

With joy and gladness shall they be brought; they shall enter into the king's palace.

Behold, in iniquity was I brought forth, and in sin did my mother conceive me.

Behold, thou wilt have truth in the inward parts; and in the hidden part thou wilt make me to know wisdom.

Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, eating up my people as they eat bread? they call not upon God.

Because of the sin of their mouth, the word of their lips, let them even be taken in their pride; and because of cursing and lying which they speak.

They only consult to thrust him down from his excellency; they delight in lies; they bless with their mouth, but in their inward part they curse. Selah.

Thou didst cause men to ride over our head; we went through fire and through water: but thou hast brought us out into abundance.

Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion that seek after my soul; let them be turned backward and confounded that take pleasure in mine adversity;

My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day; for they shall be ashamed, for they shall be brought to confusion, that seek my hurt.

Therefore pride encompasseth them as a neck-chain, violence covereth them as a garment;

And he brought streams out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.

Behold, he smote the rock, and waters gushed out, and streams overflowed; is he able to give bread also, or provide flesh for his people?

Man did eat the bread of the mighty; he sent them provision to the full.

He caused the east wind to rise in the heavens, and by his strength he brought the south wind;

And they did eat, and were well filled; for that they lusted after, he brought to them.

And he brought them to his holy border, this mountain, which his right hand purchased;

And he smote his adversaries in the hinder part, and put them to everlasting reproach.

From following the suckling-ewes, he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.

Remember not against us the iniquities of our forefathers; let thy tender mercies speedily come to meet us: for we are brought very low.

Thou hast fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink in large measure:

I am Jehovah thy God, that brought thee up out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assembly of the violent seek after my soul, and they have not set thee before them.

Thy fierce anger hath gone over me; thy terrors have brought me to nought:

Thou rulest the pride of the sea: when its waves arise, thou stillest them.

Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strongholds to ruin.

Before the mountains were brought forth, and thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from eternity to eternity thou art God.

The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if, by reason of strength, they be fourscore years, yet their pride is labour and vanity, for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth, render the reward to the proud.

Whoso secretly slandereth his neighbour, him will I destroy; him that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not suffer.

My heart is smitten and withered like grass; yea, I have forgotten to eat my bread.

For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,

He maketh the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man; bringing forth bread out of the earth,

And wine which gladdeneth the heart of man; making his face shine with oil; and with bread he strengtheneth man's heart.

And he called for a famine upon the land; he broke the whole staff of bread.

And he brought them forth with silver and gold; and there was not one feeble among their tribes.

They asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

And he brought forth his people with gladness, his chosen with rejoicing;

And their enemies oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.

Often did he deliver them; but as for them they provoked him by their counsel, and they were brought low by their iniquity.

He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke their bands in sunder.

And they are diminished and brought low, through oppression, adversity, and sorrow:

Let his sons be vagabonds and beg, and let them seek their bread far from their desolate places;

Jehovah keepeth the simple: I was brought low, and he saved me.

Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, who wander from thy commandments.

The proud have derided me beyond measure: I have not declined from thy law.

The proud have forged falsehood against me: I will observe thy precepts with my whole heart.

Let the proud be ashamed; for they have acted perversely towards me with falsehood: as for me, I meditate in thy precepts.

The proud have digged pits for me, which is not according to thy law.

I have seen an end of all perfection: thy commandment is exceeding broad.

Be surety for thy servant for good; let not the proud oppress me.

Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, with the contempt of the proud.

Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we have escaped.

It is vain for you to rise up early, to lie down late, to eat the bread of sorrows: so to his beloved one he giveth sleep.

Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine in the inner part of thy house; thy children like olive-plants round about thy table.

I will abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her needy ones with bread;

Like the precious oil upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, upon Aaron's beard, that ran down to the hem of his garments;

And brought out Israel from among them, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever,

For Jehovah is high; but he looketh upon the lowly, and the proud he knoweth afar off.

The proud have hidden a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the way-side; they have set traps for me. Selah.

Attend unto my cry, for I am brought very low; deliver me from my persecutors, for they are stronger than I.

Who executeth judgment for the oppressed, who giveth bread to the hungry. Jehovah looseth the prisoners;
