Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,

Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.

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

The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

{To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David.} O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.

His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.

He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.

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 poor.

He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.

Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.

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

For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.

The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.

{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.} 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.

O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;

I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;

{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD, who spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul: And he said,} I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.

They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.

Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.

Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfil all thy petitions.

Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.

Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.

A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.

His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.

I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.

I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.

For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.

And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.

And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room.

For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.

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

For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.

I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

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

I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.

For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.

{To the chief Musician, even to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David.} I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.

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

Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,

I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

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

Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.

{To the chief Musician, Maschil, A Psalm of David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David is come to the house of Ahimelech.} Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually.

{To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, A Psalm of David.} The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.

{To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, A Psalm of David, when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us?} Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.

For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.

And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.

We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.

My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.

Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.

The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea:

They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards.

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

The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein.

Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.

He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight.

They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.

Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction.

Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs.

They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.

Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter.

I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?

And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High.

That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:

And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.

Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.

Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?

Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed.

I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.

Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.

O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them.

And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.

For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.

Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.

I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.

His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.

Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.

For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.

Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.

A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up.

Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:

The LORD hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen.

I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.
