But know that LORD has set apart for himself him who is holy. LORD will hear when I call to him.

LORD shall judge the peoples. Judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and to my integrity that is in me.

Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou have {perfected praise (LXX/NT)}, because of thine adversaries, that thou might still the enemy and the avenger.

what is man that thou remember him? And the son of man that thou succor him?

that I may show forth all thy praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in thy salvation.

The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.

Wicked men shall be turned back to Sheol, even all the nations that forget God.

In the pride of the wicked man the poor man is hotly pursued. Let them be taken in the devices that they have conceived.

to judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may no more be appalling.

For, lo, the wicked bend the bow. They make ready their arrow upon the string that they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.

LORD will cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that speaks great things,

The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt. They have done abominable works. There is none that does good.

O that the salvation of Israel came out of Zion! When LORD brings back the captivity of his people, then Jacob shall rejoice, [and] Israel shall be glad.

in whose eyes a reprobate is despised, but who honors those who fear LORD, he that swears to his own hurt, and changes not,

Hear the right, O LORD, attend to my cry. Give ear to my prayer, that goes not out of feigned lips.

Thou have proved my heart. Thou have visited me in the night. Thou have tried me, and find nothing. I have purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.

He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.

He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of brass.

I will smite them through, so that they shall not be able to rise. They shall fall under my feet.

Thou have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.

Now I know that LORD saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.

They shall come and shall declare his righteousness to a people that shall be born, that he has done it.

What man is he who fears LORD? Him he shall instruct in the way that he shall choose.

that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and tell of all thy wondrous works.

One thing I have asked of LORD, that I will seek after, that I may dwell in the house of LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of LORD, and to inquire in his temple.

I believe that I shall see the goodness of LORD in the land of the living.

O LORD, thou have brought up my soul from Sheol. Thou have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

to the end that [my] glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to thee forever.

Pluck me out of the net that they have laid secretly for me, for thou are my stronghold.

O taste and see that LORD is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

What man is he who desires life, and loves [many] days, that he may see good?

Let destruction come upon him unawares, and let his net that he has hid catch himself. Let him fall in it with destruction.

Unrighteous witnesses rise up, they ask me of things that I know not.

For he flatters himself in his own eyes, that his iniquity will not be found out and be hated.

He devises iniquity upon his bed. He sets himself in a way that is not good. He does not abhor evil.

LORD will laugh at him, for he sees that his day is coming.

Better is a little that the righteous man has than the abundance of many wicked men.

They also who render evil for good are adversaries to me, because I follow the thing that is good.

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 man is before me.

O spare me, that I may recover strength before I go from here, and be no more.

for innumerable evils have encompassed me around. My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart has failed me.

An evil disease, [they say], clings firm to him. And now that he lays he shall rise up no more.

But thou, O LORD, have mercy upon me, and raise me up that I may requite them.

By this I know that thou delight in me, because my enemy does not triumph over me.

that thou have greatly broken us in the place of jackals, and covered us with the shadow of death.

God is in the midst of her. She shall not be moved. God will help her, and that right early.

Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth.

mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces, that ye may tell it to the generation following.

that he should still live always, that he should not see corruption.

Their inward thought is [that] their houses [are] forever, their dwelling-places to all generations. They call their lands after their own names.

Even a man in splendor does not abide. He is like the beasts that perish.

They are appointed as a flock for Sheol. Death shall be their shepherd, and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning. And their beauty shall be for Sheol to consume, that there be no habitation for it.

A man who is in splendor, and understands not, is like the beasts that perish.

He calls to the heavens above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people.

But to the wicked man God says, What have thou to do to declare my statutes, and that thou have taken my covenant in thy mouth,

These things thou have done, and I kept silence. Thou thought 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, I have sinned, and done that which is evil in thy sight, that thou may be justified when thou speak, and {may prevail (LXX/NT)} when thou {are criticized (LXX/NT)}.

Make me to hear joy and gladness, that the bones which thou have broken may rejoice.

O that the salvation of Israel came out of Zion! When God brings back the captivity of his people, then Jacob shall rejoice, [and] Israel shall be glad.

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

For it was not an enemy who reproached me. Then I could have borne it. Neither was it he who hated me that magnified himself against me. Then I would have hid myself from him.

He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me, for there were many by me.

Then shall my enemies turn back in the day that I call. This I know, that God is for me.

For thou have delivered my soul from death, and my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living.

Their poison is like the poison of a serpent, like the deaf adder that stops her ear,

Let them melt away as water that runs with haste. When he aims his arrows, let them be as though they were cut off,

as a snail which melts and passes away, [as] the untimely birth of a woman, that has not seen the sun.

so that men shall say, Truly there is a reward for the righteous man. Truly there is a God who judges in the earth.

Consume them in wrath, consume them, so that they shall be no more. And let them know that God rules in Jacob, to the ends of the earth. Selah.

Thou have given a banner to those who fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.

That thy beloved ones may be delivered, save with thy right hand, and answer us.

From the end of the earth I will call to thee when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

He shall abide before God forever. O prepare loving kindness and truth that they may preserve him.

So I will sing praise to thy name forever, that I may daily perform my vows.

How long will ye set upon a man, that ye may kill, all of you, like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

God has spoken once, twice I have heard this, that power belongs to God.

that they may shoot in secret places at a blameless man. Suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

Blessed is the man whom thou choose and cause to approach, that he may dwell in thy courts. We shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, thy holy temple.

that thy way may be known upon earth, thy salvation among all nations.

Thou have ascended on high. Thou have led captivity captive. Thou have received gifts among men, yea, [among] the rebellious also, that LORD God might dwell [with them].

that thou may dash thy foot in blood, that the tongue of thy dogs may have its portion from enemies.

Thy God has commanded thy strength. Strengthen, O God, that which thou have wrought for us.

Rebuke the wild beast of the reeds, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the peoples, trampling under foot the pieces of silver. He has scattered the peoples that delight in war.

Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head. Those who would cut me off, being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty. That which I took not away I have to restore.

When I wept in my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.

Let their eyes be darkened, so that they cannot see, and {bow down their back (LXX/NT)} continually.

and it will please LORD better than an ox, [or] a bullock that has horns and hoofs.

Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and everything that moves therein.

He will come down like rain upon the mown grass, as showers that water the earth.

Whom have I in heaven? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides thee.

But it is good for me to draw near to God. I have made lord LORD my refuge, that I may tell of all thy works.

Lift up thy feet to the perpetual ruins, all the evil that the enemy has done in the sanctuary.

Remember this, that the enemy has reproached, O LORD, and that a foolish people has blasphemed thy name.

Thou have held my eyelids watching. I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

We will not hide them from their sons, telling to the generation to come the praises of LORD, and his strength, and his wondrous works that he has done.

For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their sons,

that the generation to come might know, even the sons who should be born, who should arise and tell to their sons,

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 steadfast with God.
