As for me, I will preach the law, whereof the LORD hath said unto me, "Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.

Desire of me, and I shall give thee the Heathen for thine inheritance; and the uttermost parts of the world for thy possession.

O hearken thou unto the voice of my petition, my King and my God; for unto thee will I make my prayer.

My voice shalt thou hear betimes, O LORD. Early in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

For thou art the God that hast no pleasure in wickedness; neither shall any evil dwell with thee.

Destroy thou them, O God; let them perish in their own imaginations! Cast them out in the multitude of their ungodliness; for they have rebelled against thee.

And let all them that put their trust in thee rejoice. They shall ever be giving of thanks, because thou defendest them. They that love thy name shall be joyful in thee;

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

For in death no man remembereth thee: and who will give thee thanks in the hell?

{Shiggaion of David, which he sang for the words of Cush the son of Benjamin} O LORD my God, in thee have I put my trust; save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me,

And so shall the congregation of the people come about thee. For their sakes, therefore, lift up thyself again.

{To the Chanter upon Muthlabben, a Psalm of David} I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will speak of all thy marvelous works.

I will be glad and rejoice in thee; yea, my songs will I make of thy name, O thou most highest.

And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; for thou, LORD, hast never failed them that seek thee.

Surely thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest ungodliness and wrong, that thou mayest take the matter into thy hand. The poor committeth himself unto thee, for thou art the helper of the friendless.

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

O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, "Thou art my God, my goods are nothing like unto thee."

I have called upon thee, O God, for thou shalt hear me; incline thine ear to me, and hearken unto my words.

Show thy marvelous loving-kindness, thou that art the Saviour of them which put their trust in thee, from such as resist thy righthand.

{To the Chanter, of David, servant of the Lord, which said unto the Lord the words of this song, on the day in which the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul, and said} I will love thee, O Lord, my strength.

For in thee I can discomfit a host of men, and with the help of my God I shall leap over the wall. {TYNDALE: With thy help I will run through a host of men, and by the aid of my God will spring over a wall.}

For this cause will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the gentiles, and sing praises unto thy name. {TYNDALE: And therefore I will praise thee O LORD among the heathen, and will sing unto thy name.}

{To the Chanter, a Psalm of David} The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble. The name of the God of Jacob defend thee;

Send thee help from the Sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;

Grant thee thy heart's desire, and fulfill all thy mind.

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

He asked life of thee; and thou gavest him a long life, even forever and ever.

All thine enemies shall feel thine hand; thy righthand shall find out them that hate thee.

For they intended mischief against thee, and imagined such a device as they are not able to perform.

Our fathers hoped in thee; they trusted in thee, and thou didst deliver them.

They called upon thee, and were helped: they put their trust in thee, and were not confounded.

I have been left unto thee ever since I was born; thou art my God, even from my mother's womb.

But be not thou far from me, O LORD; thou art my succor. 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 of thee in the great congregation; my vows will I perform in the sight of them that fear him.

{A Psalm of David} Unto thee, O LORD, will I lift up my soul;

My God, I have put my trust in thee. O let me not be confounded, neither let mine enemies triumph over me.

For all they that hope in thee shall not be ashamed; but such as transgress without a cause shall be put to confusion.

Lead me forth in thy truth, and learn me. For thou art the God of my salvation; in thee hath been my hope all the day long.

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

O keep my soul, and deliver me; let me not be confounded, for I have put my trust in thee.

Let perfectness and righteous dealing wait upon me, for my hope hath been in thee.

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

My heart hath talked of thee, seek ye my face. Thy face, LORD, will I seek.

{A Psalm of David} Unto thee will I cry, O LORD, my strength; think no scorn of me, lest, if thou make as though thou hearest not, I become like them that go down into the pit.

Hear the voice of my humble petitions, when I cry unto thee, when I hold up my hands towards the mercy seat of thy holy temple.

{A Psalm and song of the dedication of the house of David} I will magnify thee, O LORD; for thou hast set me up, and not suffered my foes to triumph over me.

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

Then cried I unto thee, O LORD, and got me to my LORD right humbly.

What profit is there in my blood, when I go down into the pit? Shall the dust give thanks unto thee? Or shall it declare thy truth?

Therefore shall every good man sing of thy praise without ceasing. O my God, I will give thanks unto thee forever.

{To the Chanter, A Psalm of David} In thee, O LORD, have I put my trust; let me never be put to confusion. Deliver me in thy righteousness.

But my hope hath been in thee, O LORD; I have said, "Thou art my God."

Let me not be confounded, O LORD, for I have called upon thee: let the ungodly be put to confusion, and put to silence in the grave.

O how plentiful is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee, and that thou hast prepared for them that put their trust in thee, even before the sons of men!

And when I made haste, I said, "I am cast out of the sight of thine eyes." Nevertheless, thou heardest the voice of my prayer, when I cried unto thee.

I will acknowledge my sin unto thee; and mine unrighteousness have I not hid. I said, "I will confess my sins unto the LORD." And so thou forgavest the wickedness of my sin. Selah.

For this shall every saint make his prayer unto thee in due season; but in the great water-floods they shall not come nigh him.

I will inform thee, and teach thee in the way wherein thou shalt go; and I will guide thee with mine eye.

Be ye not like to horse and mule, which have no understanding, whose mouths must be held with bit and bridle, if they will not obey thee.

Let thy merciful kindness, O LORD, be upon us, like as we do put our trust in thee.

All my bones shall say, "LORD, who is like unto thee, who deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him? Yea, the poor, and him that is in misery, from him that spoileth him?"

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

For with thee is the well of life; and in thy light shall we see light.

O spread forth thy loving-kindness unto them that know thee, and thy righteousness unto them that are true of heart.

Delight thou in the LORD, and he shall give thee thy heart's desire.

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.

Hope thou in the LORD, and keep his way. And he shall promote thee, that thou shalt possess the land; when the ungodly shall perish, thou shalt see it.

LORD, thou knowest all my desire, and my groaning is not hid from thee.

For in thee, O LORD, is my trust; thou shalt hear me, O LORD my God.

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

Behold, thou hast made my days a span long, and mine age is even as nothing in respect of thee; and verily every man living is altogether vanity. Selah

"And now, LORD, what is my hope? Truly my hope is even in thee.

Hear my prayer, O LORD, and with thine ears consider my calling; hold not thy peace at my tears. For I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were.

O LORD my God, great are the wondrous works which thou hast done, like as be also thy thoughts, which are to us-ward; and yet there is no man that ordereth them unto thee. If I should declare them, and speak of them, they should be more than I am able to express.

But let all those that seek thee, be joyful and glad in thee; and let such as love thy salvation, say always, "The LORD be praised!"

I said, "LORD be merciful unto me, heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee!"

{To the Chanter, a Psalm of David} Like as the hart desireth the water brooks, so longeth my soul after thee, O God.

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?

and that I may go unto the altar of God, even unto the God of my joy and gladness: and upon the harp will I give thanks unto thee, O God, my God.

Through thee will we overthrow our enemies, and in thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.

And though all this be come upon us, yet do we not forget thee, nor behave ourselves unfaithfully in thy covenant.

Thou art the fairest among the children of men; full of grace are thy lips, because God hath blessed thee for ever.

Gird thee with thy sword upon thy thigh, O thou Most Mighty, according to thy worship and renown.

Good luck have thou with thine honour; ride on with the truth, meekness and righteousness: and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.

Thy arrows are sharp, and the people shall be subdued unto thee, even in the midst among the king's enemies.

Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; wherefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

The daughters of Tyre shall be there with gifts, the rich among the people shall make their supplication before thee.

She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework; the virgins that be her fellows shall bear her company, and shall be brought unto thee.

I will remember thy name from one generation to another; therefore shall the people give thanks unto thee, world without end.

For while he lived, he counted himself a happy man; and so long as thou doest well unto thyself, men will speak good of thee.

"Hear, O my people, and I will speak; I myself will testify against thee, O Israel; for I am God, even thy God.

I reprove thee not because of thy sacrifice; thy burnt-offerings are always before me.

If I be hungry, I will not tell thee: for the whole world is mine, and all that therein is.

And call upon me in the time of trouble; so will I hear thee, and thou shalt praise me."

whereas thou hatest to be reformed, and hast cast my words behind thee?

This thou doest, while I hold my tongue: and thinkest wickedly that I am even such a one as thyself; but I will reprove thee, and set before thee the things that thou hast done.

Against thee only have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight, that thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and clear when thou shalt judge.

Then shall I teach thy ways unto the wicked, that sinners may be converted unto thee.
