[To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD, who spoke to the LORD the words of this song on 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 you, O LORD, my strength.

Moreover by them is your servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.

Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent of great transgression.

Hide not your face far from me; put not your servant away in anger: you have been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

Make your face to shine upon your servant: save me for your mercies' sake.

Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favor my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, who has pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

[To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD.] The transgression of the wicked says within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.

And hide not your face from your servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.

He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds:

Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O you my God, save your servant that trusts in you.

Rejoice the soul of your servant: for unto you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give your strength unto your servant, and save the son of your handmaid.

I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant,

I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:

You have made void the covenant of your servant: you have profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.

O you offspring of Abraham his servant, you children of Jacob his chosen.

He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:

He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen.

For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant.

Let them curse, but you bless: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let your servant rejoice.

O LORD, truly I am your servant; I am your servant, and the son of your handmaid: you have loosed my bonds.

[Gimel] Deal bountifully with your servant, that I may live, and keep your word.

Princes also did sit and speak against me: but your servant did meditate in your statutes.

Establish your word unto your servant, who is devoted to your fear.

[Zayin] Remember the word unto your servant, upon which you have caused me to hope.

[Teth] You have dealt well with your servant, O LORD, according unto your word.

Let, I pray you, your merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to your word unto your servant.

How many are the days of your servant? when will you execute judgment on them that persecute me?

Be surety for your servant for good: let not the proud oppress me.

Deal with your servant according unto your mercy, and teach me your statutes.

I am your servant; give me understanding, that I may know your testimonies.

Make your face to shine upon your servant; and teach me your statutes.

Your word is very pure: therefore your servant loves it.

I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek your servant; for I do not forget your commandments.

For your servant David's sake turn not away the face of your anointed.

Even a heritage unto Israel his servant: for his mercy endures forever.

And enter not into judgment with your servant: for in your sight shall no man living be justified.

And in your mercy cut off my enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am your servant.

It is he that gives salvation unto kings: who delivers David his servant from the hurtful sword.
