I will declare the decree: Jehovah hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; I this day have begotten thee.

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

Hearken unto the voice of my crying, my king and my God; for to thee will I pray.

Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; in the morning will I address myself to thee, and will look up.

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

Bring guilt upon them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels: drive them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against thee.

And all that trust in thee shall rejoice: for ever shall they shout joyously, and thou wilt protect them; and they that love thy name shall exult in thee.

For in death there is no remembrance of thee; in Sheol who shall give thanks unto thee?

{Shiggaion of David, which he sang to Jehovah, concerning the words of Cush the Benjaminite.} Jehovah my God, in thee have I trusted: save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me;

And the assembly of the peoples shall encompass thee; and for their sakes return thou on high.

I will be glad and rejoice in thee; I will sing forth thy name, O Most High.

And they that know thy name will confide in thee; for thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

Thou hast seen it, for thou thyself beholdest trouble and vexation, to requite by thy hand. The wretched committeth himself unto thee; thou hast been the helper of the fatherless.

{Michtam of David.} Preserve me, O God: for I trust in thee.

Thou my soul hast said to Jehovah, Thou art the Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee; --

I have called upon thee, for thou answerest me, O God. Incline thine ear unto me, hear my speech.

Shew wondrously thy loving-kindnesses, O thou that savest by thy right hand them that trust in thee from those that rise up against them.

{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David, the servant of Jehovah, who spoke to Jehovah the words of this song in the day that Jehovah had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies and out of the hand of Saul. And he said,} I will love thee, O Jehovah, my strength.

For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.

Therefore will I give thanks to thee, Jehovah, among the nations, and will sing psalms to thy name.

{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob protect thee;

May he send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;

Grant thee according to thy heart, and fulfil all thy counsels.

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

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

For they intended evil against thee; they imagined a mischievous device, which they could not execute.

Our fathers confided in thee: they confided, and thou didst deliver them.

They cried unto thee, and were delivered; they confided in thee, and were not confounded.

I was cast upon thee from the womb; thou art my God from my mother's belly.

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

I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.

My praise is from thee, in the great congregation; 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 families of the nations shall worship before thee:

{A Psalm of David.} Unto thee, Jehovah, do I lift up my soul.

My God, I confide in thee; let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.

Yea, none that wait on thee shall be ashamed: they shall be ashamed that deal treacherously without cause.

Make me to walk in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

Keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I trust in thee.

Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.

My heart said for thee, Seek ye my face. Thy face, O Jehovah, will I seek.

{A Psalm of David.} Unto thee, Jehovah, do I call; my rock, be not silent unto me, lest, if thou keep silence toward 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 the oracle of thy holiness.

{A Psalm of David: dedication-song of the house.} I will extol thee, Jehovah; for thou hast delivered me, and hast not made mine enemies to rejoice over me.

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

I called to thee, Jehovah, and unto the Lord did I make supplication:

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

That my glory may sing psalms of thee, and not be silent. Jehovah my God, I will praise thee for ever.

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

But I confided in thee, Jehovah; I said, thou art my God.

Jehovah, let me not be ashamed; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, 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 trust 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 I covered not; I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah, and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

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

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

Be ye not as a horse, as a mule, which have no understanding: whose trappings must be bit and bridle, for restraint, or they will not come unto thee.

Let thy loving-kindness, 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 afflicted from one stronger than he, yea, the afflicted 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.

Continue thy loving-kindness unto them that know thee, and thy righteousness to the upright in heart;

and delight thyself 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 possess the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

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

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

Behold, thou hast made my days as hand-breadths, and my lifetime is as nothing before thee; verily, every man, even the high placed, is altogether vanity. Selah.

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

Hear my prayer, Jehovah, and give ear unto my cry; be not silent at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, a sojourner, like all my fathers.

Thou, O Jehovah my God, hast multiplied thy marvellous works, and thy thoughts toward us: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee; would I declare and speak them, they are more than can be numbered.

Let all those that seek thee be glad and rejoice in thee; let such as love thy salvation say continually, Jehovah be magnified!

As for me, I said, Jehovah, be gracious unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

{To the chief Musician. An instruction; of the sons of Korah.} As the hart panteth after the water-brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.

My God, my soul is cast down within me; therefore do I remember thee from the land of the Jordan, and the Hermons, from mount Mizar.

Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto the God of the gladness of my joy: yea, 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 against thy covenant:

Thou art fairer than the sons of men; grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

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

Thine arrows are sharp peoples fall under thee 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 companions.

Myrrh and aloes, cassia, are all thy garments; out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee glad.

She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of embroidery; the virgins behind her, her companions, shall be brought in unto thee:

I will make thy name to be remembered throughout all generations; therefore shall the peoples praise thee for ever and ever.

Though he blessed his soul in his lifetime, and men will praise thee when thou doest well to thyself, --

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

I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices, or thy burnt-offerings, 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 hast hated correction and hast cast my words behind thee?

These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.

Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done what is evil in thy sight; that thou mayest be justified when thou speakest, be clear when thou judgest.

I will teach transgressors thy ways, and sinners shall return unto thee.

God shall likewise destroy thee for ever; he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of thy tent, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah.

I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it; and I will wait on thy name, before thy godly ones, for it is good.

There were they in great fear, where no fear was; for God scattereth the bones of him that encampeth against thee. Thou hast put them to shame, for God hath despised them.

I will freely sacrifice unto thee; I will praise thy name, O Jehovah, because it is good.

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

And thou, O God, wilt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days. But as for me, I will confide in thee.

In the day that I am afraid, I will confide in thee.

Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render thanks unto thee.
