I will tell of the decree: Jehovah said unto me, Thou art my son; This day have I begotten thee.

Ask of me, and I will give thee the nations for thine inheritance, And the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God; For unto thee do I pray.

O Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; In the morning will I order my prayer unto thee, and will keep watch.

For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: Evil shall not sojourn with thee.

Hold them guilty, O God; Let them fall by their own counsels; Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions; For they have rebelled against thee.

But let all those that take refuge in thee rejoice, Let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: Let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

For in death there is no remembrance of thee: In Sheol who shall give thee thanks?

O Jehovah my God, in thee do I take refuge: Save me from all them that pursue me, and deliver me,

And let the congregation of the peoples compass thee about; And over them return thou on high.

I will be glad and exult in thee; I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High.

And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; For thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

Thou hast seen it ; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: The helpless committeth himself unto thee; Thou hast been the helper of the fatherless.

Preserve me, O God; for in thee do I take refuge.

O my soul , thou hast said unto Jehovah, Thou art my Lord: I have no good beyond thee.

I have called upon thee, for thou wilt answer me, O God: Incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.

Show thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them that take refuge in thee From those that rise up against them .

I love thee, O Jehovah, my strength.

For by thee I run upon a troop; And by my God do I leap over a wall.

Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah, among the nations, And will sing praises unto thy name.

Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble; The name of the God of Jacob set thee up on high;

Send thee help from the sanctuary, And strengthen thee out of Zion;

Grant thee thy heart's desire, And fulfil all thy counsel.

He asked life of thee, thou gavest it him, Even length of days for ever and ever.

Thy hand will find out all thine enemies; Thy right hand will find out those that hate thee.

For they intended evil against thee; They conceived a device which they are not able to perform.

Our fathers trusted in thee: They trusted, and thou didst deliver them.

They cried unto thee, and were delivered: They trusted in thee, and were not put to shame.

I was cast upon thee from the womb; Thou art my God since my mother bare me.

But be not thou far off, O Jehovah: O thou my succor, haste thee to help me.

I will declare thy name unto my brethren: In the midst of the assembly will I praise thee.

Of thee cometh my praise in the great assembly: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.

All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn unto Jehovah; And all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.

Unto thee, O Jehovah, do I lift up my soul.

O my God, in thee have I trusted, Let me not be put to shame; Let not mine enemies triumph over me.

Yea, none that wait for thee shall be put to shame: They shall be put to shame that deal treacherously without cause.

Guide me in thy truth, and teach me; For thou art the God of my salvation; For thee do I wait all the day.

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

Oh keep my soul, and deliver me: Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in thee.

Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For I wait for thee.

When thou saidst , Seek ye my face; My heart said unto thee, Thy face, Jehovah, will I seek.

Unto thee, O Jehovah, will I call: My rock, be not thou deaf unto me; Lest, if thou be silent unto 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.

I will extol thee, O Jehovah; for thou hast raised me up, And hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

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

I cried to thee, O Jehovah; And unto Jehovah 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 Jehovah my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

In thee, O Jehovah, do I take refuge; Let me never be put to shame: Deliver me in thy righteousness.

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

Let me not be put to shame, O Jehovah; for I have called upon thee: Let the wicked be put to shame, let them be silent in Sheol.

Oh how great is thy goodness, Which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee, Which thou hast wrought for them that take refuge in thee, Before the sons of men!

As for me, 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 did I not hide: I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah; And thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah

For this let every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: Surely when the great waters overflow they shall not reach unto him.

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

Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding; Whose trappings must be bit and bridle to hold them in, Else they will not come near unto thee.

Let thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, According as we have hoped in thee.

All my bones shall say, Jehovah, who is like unto thee, Who deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, Yea, the poor and the needy from him that robbeth him?

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

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

Oh continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee, And thy righteousness to the upright in heart.

Delight thyself also in Jehovah; And he will give thee the desires of thy heart.

Wait for Jehovah, and keep his way, And he will 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.

For in thee, O Jehovah, do I hope: Thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.

Behold, thou hast made my days as handbreadths; And my life-time is as nothing before thee: Surely every man at his best estate is altogether vanity. Selah

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

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

Many, O Jehovah my God, are the wonderful works which thou hast done, And thy thoughts which are to us-ward; They cannot be set 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, Jehovah be magnified.

I said, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me: Heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

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 do I remember thee from the land of the Jordan, And the Hermons, from the hill Mizar.

Then will I go unto the altar of God, Unto God my exceeding joy; And upon the harp will I praise thee, O God, my God.

Through thee will we push down our adversaries: 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.

Thou art fairer than the children of men; Grace is poured into thy lips: Therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

And in thy majesty ride on prosperously, Because of truth and meekness and righteousness: And thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.

Thine arrows are sharp; The peoples fall under thee; They are in the heart of the king's enemies.

Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness: Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee With the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

All thy garments'smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia; Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee glad.

She shall be led unto the king in broidered work: The virgins her companions that follow her Shall be brought unto thee.

I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: Therefore shall the peoples give thee thanks for ever and ever.

Though while he lived he blessed his soul (And men praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself,)

Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify unto thee: I am God, even thy God.

I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices; And thy burnt-offerings are continually before me.

If I were hungry, I would not tell thee; For the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.

And call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

Seeing thou hatest instruction, And castest my words behind thee?

These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; Thou thoughtest 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, have I sinned, And done that which is evil in thy sight; That thou mayest be justified when thou speakest, And be clear when thou judgest.

Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; And sinners shall be converted unto thee.

God will likewise destroy thee for ever; He will take thee up, and pluck thee out of thy tent, And root thee out of the land of the living. Selah

I will give thee thanks for ever, because thou hast done it; And I will hope in thy name, for it is good, in the presence of thy saints.

There were they in great fear, where no fear was; For God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: Thou hast put them to shame, because of God hath rejected them.

With a freewill-offering will I sacrifice unto thee: I will give thanks unto thy name, O Jehovah, for it is good.

Cast thy burden upon Jehovah, and he will sustain thee: He will never suffer the righteous to be moved.

But thou, O God, wilt bring them down into the pit of destruction: Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; But I will trust in thee.

What time I am afraid, I will put my trust in thee.
