I declare concerning a statute: Jehovah said unto me, 'My Son Thou art, I to-day have brought thee forth.

Ask of me, and I will give thee nations for an inheritance, and for thy possession the ends of the earth:

Be attentive to the voice of my cry, My king and my God, For unto Thee I pray habitually.

Jehovah, at morning Thou hearest my voice, At morning I set in array for Thee, And I look out.

For not a God desiring wickedness art Thou, Evil inhabiteth Thee not.

But, I, in the abounding of thy lovingkindness, will enter thy house, I will bow down towards thy holy temple, in reverence of thee:

Declare them guilty, O God, Let them fall from their own counsels, In the abundance of their transgressions Drive them away, Because they have rebelled against Thee.

And rejoice do all trusting in Thee, To the age they sing, and Thou coverest them over, And those loving Thy name exult in Thee.

Turn thee, O LORD, and deliver my soul; O save me for thy mercies' sake.

For there is not in death Thy memorial, In Sheol, who doth give thanks to Thee?

'The Erring One,' by David, that he sung to Jehovah concerning the words of Cush a Benjamite. O Jehovah, my God, in Thee I have trusted, Save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me.

And a company of peoples compass Thee, And over it on high turn Thou back,

Let, I pray Thee be ended the evil of the wicked, And establish Thou the righteous, And a trier of hearts and reins is the righteous God.

{To the chief Musician upon Muthlabben, A Psalm of David.} I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.

I rejoice and exult in Thee, I praise Thy Name, O Most High.

When mine enemies turned back, they stumbled and perished from before thee;

They trust in Thee who do know Thy name, For Thou hast not forsaken Those seeking Thee, O Jehovah.

Rise! Yahweh! let man not prevail, let the nations be judged before thee.

Thou hast seen, For Thou perverseness and anger beholdest; By giving into Thy hand, On Thee doth the afflicted leave it, Of the fatherless Thou hast been an helper.

A Secret Treasure of David. Preserve me, O God, for I did trust in Thee.

O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;

Thou wilt cause me to know, the path of life, - Fulness of joys before thee, Pleasures at thy right hand evermore.

From before thee my judgment doth go out; Thine eyes do see uprightly.

I -- I called Thee, for Thou dost answer me, O God, incline Thine ear to me, hear my speech.

Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them.

I, in righteousness, shall behold thy face, Shall be satisfied when awakened by a vision of thee.

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.

For, as for thee, an oppressed people, thou didst save, but, looks that were lofty, layedst thou low;

For by Thee I run -- a troop! And by my God I leap a wall.

Therefore I confess Thee among nations, O Jehovah, And to Thy name I sing praise,

Let the sayings of my mouth, And the meditation of my heart, Be for a pleasing thing before Thee, O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer!

To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. Jehovah doth answer thee, In a day of adversity, The name of the God of Jacob doth set thee on high,

He doth send thy help from the sanctuary, And from Zion doth support thee,

He doth give to thee according to thy heart, And all thy counsel doth fulfil.

Save, LORD, and hear us, O King of heaven, when we call upon thee.

Life he hath asked from Thee, Thou hast given to him -- length of days, Age-during -- and for ever.

Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.

For they stretched out against Thee evil, They devised a wicked device, they prevail not,

In Thee did our fathers trust -- they trusted, And Thou dost deliver them.

Unto Thee they cried, and were delivered, In Thee they trusted, and were not ashamed.

On Thee I have been cast from the womb, From the belly of my mother Thou art my God.

But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me.

I declare Thy name to my brethren, In the midst of the assembly I praise Thee.

Of Thee my praise is in the great assembly. My vows I complete before His fearers.

Remember and return unto Jehovah, Do all ends of the earth, And before Thee bow themselves, Do all families of the nations,

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

My God, in Thee I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed, Let not mine enemies exult over me.

Also let none waiting on Thee be ashamed, Let the treacherous dealers without cause be ashamed.

Cause me to tread in Thy truth, and teach me, For Thou art the God of my salvation, Near Thee I have waited all the day.

Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.

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

Integrity and uprightness do keep me, For I have waited on Thee.

Hearken unto my voice, O LORD, when I cry unto thee: have mercy upon me, and hear me.

To Thee said my heart 'They sought my face, Thy face, O Jehovah, I seek.'

{A Psalm of David.} Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.

Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.

{A Psalm and Song at the dedication of the house of David.} I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication.

What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.} In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.

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

Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.

Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!

Thou hast wrought for those trusting in Thee, Before sons of men. Thou hidest them in the secret place of Thy presence, From artifices of man, Thou concealest them in a tabernacle, From the strife of tongues.

For 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 have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.

I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.

Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.

Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.

All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?

I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people.

For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.

O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.

Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

Hold thee still in the LORD, and abide patiently upon him: but grieve not thyself at one that hath prosperity, and liveth in abomination.

Leave off from wrath, and let go displeasure; let not thy jealousy move thee also to do evil.

Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.

O Jehovah, before thee all my desire, and my sighing was not hid from thee.

For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.

For, for thee, O Jehovah, I waited: thou wilt answer, O Jehovah my God.

Haste thee to help me, O LORD God of my salvation.

Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah.

And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee.

Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were.

Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.

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

As to me, in mine integrity, Thou hast taken hold upon me, And causest me to stand before Thee to the age.

{To the chief Musician, Maschil, for the sons of Korah.} As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.

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

For thou art the God of my strength; why hast thou put me from thee? And why go I so heavily, while the enemy oppresseth me?

Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God.

Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.

All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.

For, for thee we were killed all the day; we were reckoned as sheep of the slaughter.

Awake thou! wherefore shouldst thou sleep, O Lord? Bestir thee! do not reject us altogether!
