Declare them guilty, O God, Let them fall from their own counsels, In the abundance of their transgressions Drive them away, Because they have rebelled against Thee.

Of oaths his mouth is full, And deceits, and fraud: Under his tongue is perverseness and iniquity,

To the Overseer. -- By David. A fool hath said in his heart, 'God is not;' They have done corruptly, They have done abominable actions, There is not a doer of good.

For Thou a poor people savest, And the eyes of the high causest to fall.

I smite them, and they are not able to rise, They fall under my feet,

They apportion my garments to themselves, And for my clothing they cause a lot to fall.

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.

Thou arrangest before me a table, Over-against my adversaries, Thou hast anointed with oil my head, My cup is full!

In whose hand is a wicked device, And their right hand is full of bribes.

Loving righteousness and judgment, Of the kindness of Jehovah is the earth full.

A sword have the wicked opened, And they have trodden their bow, To cause to fall the poor and needy, To slaughter the upright of the way.

For my flanks have been full of drought, And soundness is not in my flesh.

From all my transgressions deliver me, A reproach of the fool make me not.

Thine arrows are sharp, -- Peoples fall under Thee -- In the heart of the enemies of the king.

I have known every fowl of the mountains, And the wild beast of the field is with Me.

To the Overseer. -- 'On a disease.' -- An instruction, by David. A fool said in his heart, 'There is no God.' They have done corruptly, Yea, they have done abominable iniquity, There is none doing good.

To the Overseer. -- 'Concerning the Lily of Testimony,' a secret treasure of David, to teach, in his striving with Aram-Naharaim, and with Aram-Zobah, and Joab turneth back and smiteth Edom in the valley of Salt -- twelve thousand. O God, Thou hadst cast us off, Thou hadst broken us -- hadst been angry! -- Thou dost turn back to us.

God hath spoken in His holiness: I exult -- I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure,

Thou hast inspected the earth, and waterest it, Thou makest it very rich, the rivulet of God is full of water, Thou preparest their corn, When thus Thou dost prepare it,

To the Overseer. -- A Psalm, a song of David. Rise doth God -- scattered are His enemies! And those hating Him flee from His face.

Kings of hosts flee utterly away, And a female inhabitant of the house apportioneth spoil.

Only, in slippery places Thou dost set them, Thou hast caused them to fall to desolations.

Look attentively to the covenant, For the dark places of earth, Have been full of habitations of violence.

Arise, O God, plead Thy plea, Remember Thy reproach from a fool all the day.

For a cup is in the hand of Jehovah, And the wine hath foamed, It is full of mixture, and He poureth out of it, Only its dregs wring out, and drink, Do all the wicked of the earth,

Lo, He hath smitten a rock, And waters flow, yea, streams overflow. 'Also -- bread is He able to give? Doth He prepare flesh for His people?'

And He raineth on them flesh as dust, And as sand of the seas -- winged fowl,

And causeth it to fall in the midst of His camp, Round about His tabernacles.

And casteth out nations from before them, And causeth them to fall in the line of inheritance, And causeth the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents,

I am Jehovah thy God, Who bringeth thee up out of the land of Egypt. Enlarge thy mouth, and I fill it.

But as man ye die, and as one of the heads ye fall,

Fill their faces with shame, And they seek Thy name, O Jehovah.

Those passing through a valley of weeping, A fountain do make it, Blessings also cover the director.

For my soul hath been full of evils, And my life hath come to Sheol.

There fall at thy side a thousand, And a myriad at thy right hand, Unto thee it cometh not nigh.

A brutish man doth not know, And a fool understandeth not this; --

From Thy rebuke they flee, From the voice of Thy thunder haste away.

By them the fowl of the heavens doth dwell, From between the branches They give forth the voice.

How many have been Thy works, O Jehovah, All of them in wisdom Thou hast made, Full is the earth of thy possessions.

And He lifteth up His hand to them, To cause them to fall in a wilderness,

And to cause their seed to fall among nations, And to scatter them through lands.

God hath spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure,

Thou hast sorely thrust me to fall, And Jehovah hath helped me.

Of Thy kindness, O Jehovah, the earth is full, Thy statutes teach Thou me!

Jehovah doth perfect for me, O Jehovah, Thy kindness is to the age, The works of Thy hands let not fall!

Whither do I go from Thy Spirit? And whither from Thy face do I flee?

They cause to fall on themselves burning coals, Into fire He doth cast them, Into deep pits -- they arise not.

The wicked fall in their nets together, till I pass over!

Our garners are full, bringing out from kind to kind, Our flocks are bringing forth thousands, Ten thousands in our out-places,

He sendeth forth His word and melteth them, He causeth His wind to blow -- the waters flow.
