Many are saying of my soul, 'There is no salvation for him in God.' Selah.

My voice is unto Jehovah: I call: And He answereth me from his holy hill, Selah.

Of Jehovah is this salvation; On Thy people is Thy blessing! Selah.

Sons of men! till when is my glory for shame? Ye love a vain thing, ye seek a lie. Selah.

Tremble ye, and do not sin;' Say ye thus in your heart on your bed, And be ye silent. Selah.

And my soul hath been troubled greatly, And Thou, O Jehovah, till when?

Turn back, O Jehovah, draw out my soul, Save me for Thy kindness' sake.

Lest he tear as a lion my soul, Rending, and there is no deliverer.

An enemy pursueth my soul, and overtaketh, And treadeth down to the earth my life, And my honour placeth in the dust. Selah.

Jehovah hath been known, Judgment He hath done, By a work of his hands Hath the wicked been snared. Meditation. Selah.

Appoint, O Jehovah, a director to them, Let nations know they are men! Selah.

Because the wicked hath boasted Of the desire of his soul, And a dishonest gainer he hath blessed, He hath despised Jehovah.

He doth sit in an ambush of the villages, In secret places he doth slay the innocent. His eyes for the afflicted watch secretly,

To the Overseer. -- By David. In Jehovah I trusted, how say ye to my soul, 'They moved to Thy mountain for the bird?

Jehovah the righteous doth try. And the wicked and the lover of violence, Hath His soul hated,

Till when do I set counsels in my soul? Sorrow in my heart daily? Till when is mine enemy exalted over me?

For Thou dost not leave my soul to Sheol, Nor givest thy saintly one to see corruption.

From the face of the wicked who spoiled me. Mine enemies in soul go round against me.

Arise, O Jehovah, go before his face, Cause him to bend. Deliver my soul from the wicked, Thy sword,

To the Overseer. -- By a servant of Jehovah, by David, who hath spoken to Jehovah the words of this song in the day Jehovah delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul, and he saith: -- I love Thee, O Jehovah, my strength.

The law of Jehovah is perfect, refreshing the soul, The testimonies of Jehovah are stedfast, Making wise the simple,

He doth remember all thy presents, And thy burnt-offering doth reduce to ashes. Selah.

The desire of his heart Thou gavest to him, And the request of his lips Thou hast not withheld. Selah.

Thou makest them as a furnace of fire, At the time of Thy presence. Jehovah in His anger doth swallow them, And fire doth devour them.

Deliver from the sword my soul, From the paw of a dog mine only one.

And the fat ones of earth have eaten, And they bow themselves, Before Him bow do all going down to dust, And he who hath not revived his soul.

My soul He refresheth, He leadeth me in paths of righteousness, For His name's sake,

The clean of hands, and pure of heart, Who hath not lifted up to vanity his soul, Nor hath sworn to deceit.

This is a generation of those seeking Him. Seeking Thy face, O Jacob! Selah.

Who is He -- this 'king of glory?' Jehovah of hosts -- He is the king of glory! Selah.

By David. Unto Thee, O Jehovah, my soul I lift up.

His soul in good doth remain, And his seed doth possess the land.

Keep my soul, and deliver me, Let me not be ashamed, for I trusted in Thee.

Do not gather with sinners my soul, And with men of blood my life,

Jehovah, Thou hast brought up from Sheol my soul, Thou hast kept me alive, From going down to the pit.

I rejoice, and am glad in Thy kindness, In that Thou hast seen mine affliction, Thou hast known in adversities my soul.

Favour me, O Jehovah, for distress is to me, Mine eye, my soul, and my body Have become old by provocation.

When by day and by night Thy hand is heavy upon me, My moisture hath been changed Into the droughts of summer. Selah.

My sin I cause Thee to know, And mine iniquity I have not covered. I have said, 'I confess concerning My transgressions to Jehovah,' And Thou -- Thou hast taken away, The iniquity of my sin. Selah.

Thou art a hiding-place for me, From distress Thou dost keep me, With songs of deliverance dost compass me. Selah.

To deliver from death their soul, And to keep them alive in famine.

Our soul hath waited for Jehovah, Our help and our shield is He,

In Jehovah doth my soul boast herself, Hear do the humble and rejoice.

Jehovah redeemeth the soul of His servants, And none trusting in Him are desolate!

And draw out spear and lance, To meet my pursuers. Say to my soul, 'Thy salvation I am.'

They are ashamed and blush, those seeking my soul, Turned backward and confounded, Those devising my evil.

For without cause they hid for me their netpit, Without cause they digged for my soul.

And my soul is joyful in Jehovah, It rejoiceth in His salvation.

They pay me evil for good, bereaving my soul,

And I -- in their sickness my clothing is sackcloth, I have humbled with fastings my soul, And my prayer unto my bosom returneth.

Lord, how long dost thou behold? Keep back my soul from their desolations, From young lions my only one.

And those seeking my soul lay a snare, And those seeking my evil Have spoken mischievous things, And they do deceits meditate all the day.

Lo, handbreadths Thou hast made my days, And mine age is as nothing before Thee, Only, all vanity is every man set up. Selah.

With reproofs against iniquity, Thou hast corrected man, And dost waste as a moth his desirableness, Only, vanity is every man. Selah.

They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are seeking my soul to destroy it, They are turned backward, And are ashamed, who are desiring my evil.

I -- I said, 'O Jehovah, favour me, Heal my soul, for I did sin against Thee,'

To the Overseer. -- An Instruction. By sons of Korah. As a hart doth pant for streams of water, So my soul panteth toward Thee, O God.

My soul thirsted for God, for the living God, When do I enter and see the face of God?

These I remember, and pour out my soul in me, For I pass over into the booth, I go softly with them unto the house of God, With the voice of singing and confession, The multitude keeping feast!

What! bowest thou thyself, O my soul? Yea, art thou troubled within me? Wait for God, for still I confess Him: The salvation of my countenance -- My God!

In me doth my soul bow itself, Therefore I remember Thee from the land of Jordan, And of the Hermons, from the hill Mizar.

What! bowest thou thyself, O my soul? And what! art thou troubled within me? Wait for God, for still I confess Him, The salvation of my countenance, and my God!

What! bowest thou thyself, O my soul? And what! art thou troubled within me? Wait for God, for still I confess Him, The salvation of my countenance, and my God!

In God we have boasted all the day, And Thy name to the age we thank. Selah.

For bowed to the dust hath our soul, Cleaved to the earth hath our belly.

Roar -- troubled are its waters, Mountains they shake in its pride. Selah.

Jehovah of Hosts is with us, A tower for us is the God of Jacob. Selah.

Jehovah of hosts is with us, A tower for us is the God of Jacob! Selah.

He doth choose for us our inheritance, The excellency of Jacob that He loves. Selah.

As we have heard, so we have seen, In the city of Jehovah of hosts, In the city of our God, God doth establish her -- to the age. Selah.

And precious is the redemption of their soul, And it hath ceased -- to the age.

This their way is folly for them, And their posterity with their sayings are pleased. Selah.

Only, God doth ransom my soul from the hand of Sheol, For He doth receive me. Selah.

For his soul in his life he blesseth, (And they praise thee when thou dost well for thyself.)

And the heavens declare His righteousness, For God Himself is judge. Selah.

To the Overseer. -- An instruction, by David, in the coming in of Doeg the Edomite, and he declareth to Saul, and saith to him, 'David came in unto the house of Ahimelech.' What, boasteth thou in evil, O mighty one? The kindness of God is all the day.

Thou hast loved evil rather than good, Lying, than speaking righteousness. Selah.

Also -- God doth break thee down for ever, Taketh thee, and pulleth thee out of the tent, And He hath uprooted thee Out of the land of the living. Selah.

To the Overseer with stringed instruments. -- An instruction, by David, in the coming in of the Ziphim, and they say to Saul, 'Is not David hiding himself with us?' O God, by Thy name save me, and by Thy might judge me.

For strangers have risen up against me And terrible ones have sought my soul, They have not set God before them. Selah.

Lo, God is a helper to me, The Lord is with those supporting my soul,

Lo, I move far off, I lodge in a wilderness. Selah.

Swallow up, O Lord, divide their tongue, For I saw violence and strife in a city.

He hath ransomed in peace my soul From him who is near to me, For with the multitude they were with me.

God doth hear and afflict them, And He sitteth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, and fear not God,

They assemble, they hide, they watch my heels, When they have expected my soul.

For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, Dost Thou not my feet from falling? To walk habitually before God in the light of the living!

To the Overseer. -- 'Destroy not.' -- A secret treasure of David, in his fleeing from the face of Saul into a cave. Favour me, O God, favour me, For in Thee is my soul trusting, And in the shadow of Thy wings I trust, Until the calamities pass over.

He sendeth from the heaven, and saveth me, He reproached -- who is panting after me. Selah. God sendeth forth His kindness and His truth.

My soul is in the midst of lions, I lie down among flames -- sons of men, Their teeth are a spear and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword.

A net they have prepared for my steps, Bowed down hath my soul, They have digged before me a pit, They have fallen into its midst. Selah.

To the Overseer. -- 'Destroy not,' by David. -- A secret treasure, in Saul's sending, and they watch the house to put him to death. Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God, From my withstanders set me on high.

For, lo, they laid wait for my soul, Assembled against me are strong ones, Not my transgression nor my sin, O Jehovah.

And Thou, Jehovah, God of Hosts, God of Israel, Awake to inspect all the nations. Favour not any treacherous dealers of iniquity. Selah.

Slay them not, lest my people forget, Shake them by Thy strength, And bring them down, O Lord our shield.

Consume in fury, consume and they are not, And they know that God is ruling in Jacob, To the ends of the earth. Selah.

Thou hast given to those fearing thee an ensign. To be lifted up as an ensign Because of truth. Selah.

I sojourn in Thy tent to the ages, I trust in the secret place of Thy wings. Selah.

To the Overseer, for Jeduthun. -- A Psalm of David. Only -- toward God is my soul silent, From Him is my salvation.

Only -- from his excellency They have consulted to drive away, They enjoy a lie, with their mouth they bless, And with their heart revile. Selah.
