Ask of Me and I give nations -- thy inheritance, And thy possession -- the ends of earth.

Of Jehovah is this salvation; On Thy people is Thy blessing! Selah.

Many are saying, 'Who doth show us good?' Lift on us the light of Thy face, O Jehovah,

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

And I, in the abundance of Thy kindness, I enter Thy house, I bow myself toward Thy holy temple in Thy fear.

O Jehovah, lead me in Thy righteousness, Because of those observing me, Make straight before me Thy way,

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.

for thou, LORD, wilt give thy blessing unto the righteous, and with thy favourable kindness wilt thou defend him, as with a shield.

To the Overseer with stringed instruments, on the octave. -- A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, in Thine anger reprove me not, Nor in Thy fury chastise me.

Turn back, O Jehovah, draw out my soul, Save me for Thy kindness' sake.

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

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.

To the Overseer, 'On the Gittith.' A Psalm of David. Jehovah, our Lord, How honourable Thy name in all the earth! Who settest thine honour on the heavens.

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.

For I see Thy heavens, a work of Thy fingers, Moon and stars that Thou didst establish.

Thou dost cause him to rule Over the works of Thy hands, All Thou hast placed under his feet.

Jehovah, our Lord, How honourable Thy name in all the earth!

To the Overseer, 'On the Death of Labben.' -- A Psalm of David. I confess, O Jehovah, with all my heart, I recount all Thy wonders,

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

In mine enemies turning backward, they stumble and perish from Thy face.

O thou enemy, thy destructions are come to a perpetual end; even as the cities which thou hast destroyed, their memorial is perished with them.

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

So that I recount all Thy praise, In the gates of the daughter of Zion. I rejoice on Thy salvation.

Rise, O Jehovah, let not man be strong, Let nations be judged before Thy face.

Why standest thou so far off, O LORD, and hidest thy face in the needful time of trouble?

Pain do his ways at all times, On high are Thy judgments before him, All his adversaries -- he puffeth at them.

Arise, O Jehovah! O God, lift up Thy hand! Forget not the humble.

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.

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

To the Overseer. -- By David. In Jehovah I trusted, how say ye to my soul, 'They moved to Thy mountain for the bird?

To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. Till when, O Jehovah, Dost Thou forget me? -- for ever? Till when dost Thou hide Thy face from me?

How long, O Jehovah, wilt thou wholly forget me? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

And I, in Thy kindness I have trusted, Rejoice doth my heart in Thy salvation.

And I trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall exult in thy salvation. I will sing to Jehovah for he benefited me.

A Psalm of David. Jehovah, who doth sojourn in Thy tent? Who doth dwell in Thy holy hill?

For Thou dost not leave my soul to Sheol, Nor givest thy saintly one to see corruption.

Thou causest me to know the path of life; Fulness of joys is with Thy presence, Pleasant things by Thy right hand for ever!

Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.

As to doings of man, Through a word of Thy lips I have observed The paths of a destroyer;

To uphold my goings in Thy paths, My steps have not slidden.

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

Separate wonderfully Thy kindness, O Saviour of the confiding, By Thy right hand, from withstanders.

Keep me as the apple, the daughter of the eye; In shadow of Thy wings thou dost hide me.

Arise, O Jehovah, go before his face, Cause him to bend. Deliver my soul from the wicked, Thy sword,

From men, Thy hand, O Jehovah, From men of the world, their portion is in life, And with Thy hidden things Thou fillest their belly, They are satisfied with sons; And have left their abundance to their sucklings.

I -- in righteousness, I see Thy face; I am satisfied, in awaking, with Thy form!

And seen are the streams of waters, And revealed are foundations of the earth. From Thy rebuke, O Jehovah, From the breath of the spirit of Thine anger.

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.}

And Thou givest to me the shield of Thy salvation, And Thy right hand doth support me, And Thy lowliness maketh me great.

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

Great prosperity giveth he unto his king, and showeth loving-kindness unto David his anointed, and unto his seed for evermore. {TYNDALE: For thy great and manifold saving of thy king, and showing mercy unto thine anointed, even to David, and his seed forever.}

Also -- Thy servant is warned by them, 'In keeping them is a great reward.'

Also -- from presumptuous ones keep back Thy servant, Let them not rule over me, Then am I perfect, And declared innocent of much transgression,

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

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

He doth remember all thy presents, And thy burnt-offering doth reduce to ashes. Selah.

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

We sing of thy salvation, And in the name of our God set up a banner. Jehovah doth fulfil all thy requests.

To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. Jehovah, in Thy strength is the king joyful, In Thy salvation how greatly he rejoiceth.

Great is his honour in Thy salvation, Honour and majesty Thou placest on him.

For Thou makest him blessings for ever, Thou dost cause him to rejoice with joy, By Thy countenance.

Thy hand cometh to all Thine enemies, Thy right hand doth find Thy haters.

Thou makest them as a furnace of fire, At the time of Thy presence. Jehovah in His anger doth swallow them, And fire doth devour them.

For Thou makest them a butt, When Thy strings Thou preparest against their faces.

Be Thou exalted, O Jehovah in, Thy strength, We sing and we praise Thy might!

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

Also -- when I walk in a valley of death-shade, I fear no evil, for Thou art with me, Thy rod and Thy staff -- they comfort me.

O let thy loving-kindness and mercy follow me all the days of my life, that I may dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

This is a generation of those seeking Him. Seeking Thy face, O Jacob! Selah.

Thy ways, O Jehovah, cause me to know, Thy paths teach Thou me.

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.

Remember Thy mercies, O Jehovah, And Thy kindnesses, for from the age are they.

Sins of my youth, and my transgressions, Do not Thou remember. According to Thy kindness be mindful of me, For Thy goodness' sake, O Jehovah.

For Thy name's sake, O Jehovah, Thou hast pardoned mine iniquity, for it is great.

For Thy kindness is before mine eyes, And I have walked habitually in Thy truth.

I will wash my hands in innocence: so will I compass thy altar, O LORD:

To sound with a voice of confession, And to recount all Thy wonders.

Jehovah, I have loved the habitation of Thy house, And the place of the tabernacle of Thine honour.

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

Hide not thy face far 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.

Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.

Look unto Jehovah -- be strong, And He doth strengthen thy heart, Yea, look unto Jehovah!

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

Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.

And in my prosperity I said, "I shall never be removed." And why? Thou, LORD, of thy goodness, hast made my hill so strong.

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

What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? 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 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.

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.

Into Thy hand I commit my spirit, Thou hast redeemed me, Jehovah 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;

My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.

Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies' sake.

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.

For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.

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