But his delight is in Jehovah's law, and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

The wicked are not so; but are as the chaff which the wind driveth away.

For Jehovah knoweth the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.

Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way, though his anger burn but a little. Blessed are all who have their trust in him.

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

Ye sons of men, till when is my glory to be put to shame? How long will ye love vanity, will ye seek after a lie? Selah.

But know that Jehovah hath set apart the pious man for himself: Jehovah will hear when I call unto him.

Be moved with anger, and sin not; meditate in your own hearts upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

Thou hast put joy in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their new wine was in abundance.

But as for me, in the greatness of thy loving-kindness will I enter thy house; I will bow down toward the temple of thy holiness in thy fear.

I am wearied with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I dissolve my couch with my tears.

He digged a pit, and hollowed it out, and is fallen into the hole that he made.

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

Thou hast made him to rule over the works of thy hands; thou hast put everything under his feet:

Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked; thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.

But Jehovah sitteth for ever; he hath ordained his throne for judgment.

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

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

{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 trieth the righteous one; but the wicked, and him that loveth violence, his soul hateth.

They encountered me in the day of my calamity, but Jehovah was my stay.

For all his ordinances were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me;

For it is thou that savest the afflicted people; but the haughty eyes wilt thou bring down.

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

Some make mention of chariots, and some of horses, but we of the name of Jehovah our God.

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

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

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

But thou, Jehovah, be not far from me; O my strength, 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.

But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity. Redeem me, and be gracious 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.

{A Psalm of David.} Unto thee, Jehovah, do I call; my rock, be not silent unto me, lest, if thou keep silence toward me, I become like them that go down into the pit.

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

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

But I confided in thee, Jehovah; I said, thou art my God.

Be ye not as a horse, as a mule, which have no understanding: whose trappings must be bit and bridle, for restraint, or they will not come unto thee.

Many sorrows hath the wicked; but he that confideth in Jehovah, loving-kindness shall encompass him.

The young lions are in need and suffer hunger; but they that seek Jehovah shall not want any good.

Many are the adversities of the righteous, but Jehovah delivereth him out of them all:

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:

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

But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth; I chastened my soul with fasting, and my prayer returned into mine own bosom:

But at my halting they rejoiced, and gathered together: the slanderers gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not:

He deviseth wickedness up on 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 on Jehovah, they shall possess the land.

For yet a little while, and the wicked is not; and thou considerest his place, but he is not.

But the meek shall possess the land, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of prosperity.

for the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but Jehovah upholdeth the righteous.

The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again; but the righteous is gracious and giveth:

for Jehovah loveth judgment, and will not forsake his saints: They are preserved for ever; but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

but he passed away, and behold, he was not; and I sought him, but he was not found.

but the transgressors shall be destroyed together; the future of the wicked shall be cut off.

But the salvation of the righteous is of Jehovah: he is their strength in the time of trouble.

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

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

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:

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

But I am afflicted and needy: the Lord thinketh upon me. Thou art my help and my deliverer: my God, make no delay.

Jehovah will sustain him upon the bed of languishing: thou turnest all his bed in his sickness.

But thou, Jehovah, be gracious unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.

But as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.

Thou, by thy hand, didst dispossess the nations, but them thou didst plant; thou didst afflict the peoples, but them didst thou cause to spread out.

For not by their own sword did they take possession of the land, neither did their own arm save them; but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst delight in them.

For I will not put confidence in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.

For thou hast saved us from our adversaries, and hast put them to shame that hate us.

But thou hast cast off, and put us to confusion, and dost not go forth with our armies;

But for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are reckoned as sheep for slaughter.

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, or that thou shouldest take my covenant into thy mouth,

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

Behold the man that made not God his strength, but put confidence in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his avarice.

But as for me, I am like a green olive-tree in the house of God: I will confide in the loving-kindness of God for ever and ever.

There were they in great fear, where no fear was; for God scattereth the bones of him that encampeth against thee. Thou hast put them to shame, for God hath despised them.

But it was thou, a man mine equal, mine intimate, my familiar friend. ...

He hath put forth his hands against such as are at peace with him; he hath profaned his covenant.

Smooth were the milky words of his mouth, but his heart was war; his words were softer than oil, yet are they drawn swords.

And thou, O God, wilt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days. But as for me, I will confide in thee.

In God will I praise his word, in God I put my confidence: I will not fear; what can flesh do unto me?

Thou countest my wanderings; put my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?

In God have I put my confidence: I will not fear; what can man do unto me?

They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul was bowed down: they have digged a pit before me; they are fallen into the midst thereof. Selah.

But thou, Jehovah, wilt laugh at them; thou wilt have all the nations in derision.

But as for me, I will sing of thy strength; yea, I will sing aloud of thy loving-kindness in the morning; for thou hast been to me a high fortress, and a refuge in the day of my trouble.

Moab is my wash-pot; upon Edom will I cast my sandal; Philistia, shout aloud because of me.

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.

Put not confidence in oppression, and become not vain in robbery; if wealth increase, set not your heart upon it.

When I remember thee upon my bed, I meditate on thee in the night-watches:

But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth;

But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: for the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.

But God will shoot an arrow at them: suddenly are they wounded;

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

But God hath heard; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

But the righteous shall rejoice: they shall exult before God and be glad with joy.

God maketh the solitary into families; those that were bound he bringeth out into prosperity: but the rebellious dwell in a parched land.

But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, Jehovah, in an acceptable time: O God, in the abundance of thy loving-kindness answer me, according to the truth of thy salvation:

Let not the flood of waters overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up; and let not the pit shut its mouth upon me.

Reproach hath broken my heart, and I am overwhelmed: and I looked for sympathy, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.

But I am afflicted and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me secure on high.

But I am afflicted and needy: make haste unto me, O God. Thou art my help and my deliverer: O Jehovah, make no delay.
