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

Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.

Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all my enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.

To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm of David. Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

There are many that say, Who will show us any good? LORD, lift thou upon us the light of thy countenance.

Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time when their corn and their wine increased.

I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep; for thou only, LORD, makest me dwell in safety.

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

For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.

The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

Thou shalt destroy them that speak falsehood: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.

Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.

But let all those that put their trust 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 thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favor wilt thou compass him as with a shield.

My soul is also greatly disquieted: but thou, O LORD, how long?

Arise, O LORD, in thy anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of my enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.

So shall the congregation of the people encompass thee: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.

Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thy enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers; the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honor.

Thou hast made him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:

I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.

For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou sattest on the throne judging right.

Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.

O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial hath perished with them.

And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer from them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:

Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?

Why doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.

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

Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou shalt find none.

LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thy ear to hear:

Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

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

The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.

For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thy Holy One to see corruption.

Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand are pleasures for evermore.

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

I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thy ear to me, and hear my speech.

Show thy wonderful loving-kindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them who put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them.

From men who are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, who have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.

With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt show thyself upright;

With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt contend.

For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.

For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.

Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath held me up and thy gentleness hath made me great.

Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.

For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.

Thou hast also given me the necks of my enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.

Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.

He delivereth me from my enemies: yes, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.

Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.

Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withheld the request of his lips. Selah.

For thou hast met him with the blessings of goodness: thou hast set a crown of pure gold on his head.

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

His glory is great in thy salvation: honor and majesty hast thou laid upon him.

For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.

Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thy anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.

Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.

Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt make ready thy arrows upon thy strings against the face of them.

Be thou exalted, LORD, in thy own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.

To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?

O my God, I cry in the day-time, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.

But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

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

But thou art he that brought me forth into life: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.

I was cast upon thee from my birth: thou art my God from the time I was born.

My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.

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

Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.

Yes, though I walk through the valley of the shades of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

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

Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O LORD.

The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses.

When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said to thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.

Hide not thy face from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

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

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 to thee, and thou hast healed me.

O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

LORD, by thy favor thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.

Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.

Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

Bow down thy ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for a house of defense to save me.

For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.

Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength.

Into thy hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.

I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;

And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my foot in a large room.

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

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 shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.

For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thy eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried to thee.

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

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

Thou art my hiding place; thou wilt preserve me from trouble; thou wilt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.
