Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked, Nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers:

The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against Jehovah, and against his anointed,'saying ,

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

I will tell of the decree: Jehovah said unto me, Thou art my son; This day have I begotten thee.

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

Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness; Thou hast set me at large when I was in distress: Have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

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

The arrogant shall not stand in thy sight: Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

O Jehovah, our Lord, How excellent is thy name in all the earth, Who hast set thy glory upon the heavens!

Arise, O Jehovah; let not man prevail: Let the nations be judged in thy sight.

His ways are firm at all times; Thy judgments are far above out of his sight: As for all his adversaries, he puffeth at them.

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 helpless.

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

Because of the oppression of the poor, because of the sighing of the needy, Now will I arise, saith Jehovah; I will set him in the safety he panteth for.

The wicked walk on every side, When vileness is exalted among the sons of men.

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 Jehovah, Thou art my Lord: I have no good beyond thee.

I have set Jehovah always before me: Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

They have now compassed us in our steps; They set their eyes to cast us down to the earth.

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

Great deliverance giveth he to his king, And showeth lovingkindness 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 Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer.

Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble; The name of the God of Jacob set thee up on high;

We will triumph in thy salvation, And in the name of our God we will set up our banners: Jehovah fulfil all thy petitions.

Their fruit wilt thou destroy from the earth, And their seed from among the children of men.

Ye that fear Jehovah, praise him; All ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; And stand in awe of him, all ye the seed of Israel.

A seed shall serve him; It shall be told of the Lord unto the next generation.

His soul shall dwell at ease; And his seed shall inherit the land.

I have not sat with men of falsehood; Neither will I go in with dissemblers.

I hate the assembly of evil-doers, And will not sit with the wicked.

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

Jehovah sat as King at the Flood; Yea, Jehovah sitteth as King for ever.

As for me, I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved.

And thou hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy; Thou hast set my feet in a large place.

For I have heard the defaming of many, Terror on every side: While they took counsel together against me, They devised to take away my life.

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

As for me, 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 did I not hide: I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah; And thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah

Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me; They 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.

All the day long he dealeth graciously, and lendeth; And his seed is blessed.

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

For I said, Lest they rejoice over me: When my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.

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

Many, O Jehovah my God, are the wonderful works which thou hast done, And thy thoughts which are to us-ward; They cannot be set in order unto thee; If I would declare and speak of them, They are more than can be numbered.

Then said I, Lo, I am come; In the roll of the book it is written of me:

I said, O Jehovah, have mercy upon 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 a 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 that which is evil in thy sight; That thou mayest be justified when thou speakest, And be clear when thou judgest.

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.

For strangers are risen up against me, And violent men have sought after my soul: They have not set God before them. Selah

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

We took sweet counsel together; We walked in the house of God with the throng.

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

Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: Set me on high from them that rise up against me.

How long will ye set upon a man, That ye may slay him , all of you, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

Trust not in oppression, And become not vain in robbery: If riches increase, set not your heart thereon .

The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring them again from the depths of the sea;

They that sit in the gate talk of me; And I am 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.

He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence; And precious will their blood be in his sight:

They have set their mouth in the heavens, And their tongue walketh through the earth.

If I had said, I will speak thus; Behold, I had dealt treacherously with the generation of thy children.

Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of thine assembly; They have set up their ensigns for signs.

They have set thy sanctuary on fire; They have profaned the dwelling-place of thy name by casting it to the ground.

They said in their heart, Let us make havoc of them altogether: 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.

When I shall find the set time, I will judge uprightly.

The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I have set up the pillars of it. Selah

I said unto the arrogant, Deal not arrogantly; 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 prepare a table in the wilderness?

How he set his signs in Egypt, And his wonders in the field of Zoan,

Wherefore should the nations say, Where is their God? Let the avenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed Be known among the nations in our sight.

I said, Ye are gods, And all of you sons 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 in possession The habitations of God.

O God, the proud are risen up against me, And a company of violent men have sought after my soul, And have not set thee before them.

Yea, of Zion it shall be said, This one and that one was born in her; And the Most High himself will establish her.

For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever; Thy faithfulness wilt 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 on the sea, And his right hand on 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.

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 lovingkindness, O Jehovah, held me up.

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

Jehovah hath made known his salvation: His righteousness hath he openly showed in the sight of the nations.

I will set no base thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; It shall not cleave unto me.

Thou wilt arise, and have mercy upon Zion; For it is time to have pity upon her, Yea, the set time is come.
