Many there be who say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.

I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.

Salvation belongs unto the LORD: your blessing is upon your people. Selah.

O you sons of men, how long will you turn my glory into shame? how long will you love vanity, and seek after falsehood? Selah.

Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

My soul is also greatly troubled: but you, O LORD, how long?

Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for your mercies' sake.

Lest they tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay my honor in the dust. Selah.

The LORD is known by the judgment which he executes: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.

[To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.] In the LORD put I my trust: how say you to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?

The LORD tests the righteous: but the wicked and him that loves violence his soul hates.

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

O my soul, you have said unto the LORD, You are my Lord: my goodness reaches not to you;

For you will not leave my soul in sheol; neither will you allow your Holy One to see corruption.

Arise, O LORD, confront him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, by your sword:

[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.

Remember all your offerings, and accept your burnt sacrifice; Selah.

You have given him his heart's desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah.

You shall make them as a fiery oven in the time of your anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.

Deliver my soul from the sword; my life from the power of the dog.

All the prosperous of earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.

He restores my soul: he leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

He that has clean hands, and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek your face, O Jacob. Selah.

Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:

O LORD, you have brought up my soul from the grave: you have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

I will be glad and rejoice in your mercy: for you have considered my trouble; you have known my soul in adversities;

Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: my eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my body.

For day and night your hand was heavy upon me: my strength is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.

I acknowledged my sin unto you, and my iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

You are my hiding place; you shall preserve me from trouble; you shall surround me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.

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

Our soul waits for the LORD: he is our help and our shield.

My soul shall make its boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.

Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.

The LORD redeems the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.

Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.

For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have dug for my soul.

And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his salvation.

They rewarded me evil for good to the sorrow of my soul.

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

Lord, how long will you look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my precious life from the lions.

The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright behavior.

The wicked watches the righteous, and seeks to slay him.

Behold, you have made my days as a handbreadth; and my age is as nothing before you: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah.

When you with rebukes do correct man for iniquity, you make his beauty melt away like a moth: surely every man is vanity. Selah.

Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.

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

[To the Chief Musician. A maschil, for the Sons of Korah.] As the hart pants after the water brooks, so pants my soul after you, O God.

My soul thirsts for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?

When I remember these things, I pour out my soul within me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.

Why are you cast down, O my soul? and why are you disturbed within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.

O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember you from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar.

In God we boast all the day long, and praise your name forever. Selah.

You sell your people for nothing, and do not increase your wealth by their price.

[To the Chief Musician, a 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 boast you yourself in evil, O mighty man? the goodness of God endures continually.

You love evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.

God shall likewise destroy you forever, he shall take you away, and pluck you out of your dwelling place, and root you out of the land of the living. Selah.

[To the Chief Musician on neginoth. A maschil, a Psalm of David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Does not David hide himself with us?] Save me, O God, by your name, and judge me by your strength.

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

Behold, God is my helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.

Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. Selah.

He has delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many against me.

God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abides of old. Selah. Because they do not change, therefore they fear not God.

[To the Chief Musician upon jonathelemrechokim. A michtam of David, when the Philistines took him to Gath.] Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresses me.

My enemies would daily swallow me up: for they are many that fight against me, O most High.

They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.

For you have delivered my soul from death: will not you deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?

[To the Chief Musician, altaschith. A michtam of David, when he fled from Saul into the cave.] Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusts in you: yea, in the shadow of your wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities have passed.

He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.

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.

They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have dug a pit before me, into the midst of which they are fallen themselves. Selah.

[To the Chief Musician, altaschith. A michtam of David; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.] Deliver me from my enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.

For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD.

You therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to punish all the nations: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah.

Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God rules in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah.

You have given a banner to them that fear you, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.

I will abide in your tabernacle forever: I will trust in the shelter of your wings. Selah.
