For Jehovah knoweth the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.

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

Serve Jehovah with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

Many say of my soul, There is no salvation for him in God. Selah.

I laid me down and slept; I awaked, for Jehovah sustaineth me.

I will not fear for myriads of the people that have set themselves against me round about.

Arise, Jehovah; save me, my God! For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheekbone, thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.

But know that Jehovah hath set apart the pious man for himself: Jehovah will hear when I call unto him.

In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; for thou, Jehovah, alone makest me to dwell in safety.

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

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

But as for me, in the greatness of thy loving-kindness will I enter thy house; I will bow down toward the temple of thy holiness in thy fear.

For there is no certainty in their mouth; their inward part is perversion, their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.

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 thou, Jehovah, wilt bless the righteous man; with favour wilt thou surround him as with a shield.

Be gracious unto me, Jehovah, for I am withered; Jehovah, heal me, for my bones tremble.

Return, Jehovah, free my soul; save me for thy loving-kindness' sake.

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

Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for Jehovah hath heard the voice of my weeping.

Arise, Jehovah, in thine anger; lift thyself up against the raging of mine oppressors, and awake for me: thou hast commanded judgment.

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

And he hath prepared for him instruments of death; his arrows hath he made burning.

For thou hast maintained my right and my cause. Thou sittest on the throne, judging righteously.

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

O enemy! destructions are ended for ever. Thou hast also destroyed cities, even the remembrance of them hath perished.

But Jehovah sitteth for ever; he hath ordained his throne for judgment.

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

For when he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them; the cry of the afflicted ones hath he not forgotten.

For the needy one shall not be forgotten alway; the hope of the meek shall not perish for ever.

Put them in fear, Jehovah: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.

For the wicked boasteth of his soul's desire, and he blesseth the covetous; he contemneth Jehovah.

His ways always succeed; thy judgments are far above out of his sight; as for all his adversaries, he puffeth at them.

He sitteth in the lurking-places of the villages; in the secret places doth he slay the innocent: his eyes watch for the wretched.

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.

Break thou the arm of the wicked, and as for the evil man, seek out his wickedness till thou find none.

Jehovah is King for ever and ever: the nations have perished out of his land.

For behold, the wicked bend the bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may in darkness shoot at the upright in heart.

Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone; and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.

For righteous is Jehovah; he loveth righteousness, his countenance doth behold the upright.

{To the chief Musician. Upon Sheminith. A Psalm of David.} Save, Jehovah, for the godly man is gone; for the faithful have failed from among the children of men.

Thou, Jehovah, wilt keep them, thou wilt preserve them from this generation for ever.

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

As for me, I have confided in thy loving-kindness; my heart shall be joyful in thy salvation.

I will sing unto Jehovah, for he hath dealt bountifully with me.

There were they in great fear; for God is in the generation of the righteous.

In whose eyes the depraved person is contemned, and who honoureth them that fear Jehovah; who, if he have sworn to his own hurt, changeth it not;

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

For thou wilt not leave my soul to Sheol, neither wilt thou allow thy Holy One to see corruption.

Thou wilt make known to me the path of life: thy countenance is fulness of joy; at thy right hand are pleasures for evermore.

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

As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.

There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals burned forth from it.

From the brightness before him his thick clouds passed forth: hail and coals of fire.

And Jehovah thundered in the heavens, and the Most High uttered his voice: hail and coals of fire.

He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me; for they were mightier than I.

For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

For all his ordinances were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me;

For it is thou that savest the afflicted people; but the haughty eyes wilt thou bring down.

For it is thou that makest my lamp to shine: Jehovah my God enlighteneth my darkness.

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

As for God, his way is perfect; the word of Jehovah is tried: he is a shield to all that trust in him.

For who is +God save Jehovah? and who is a rock if not our God?

It is he who giveth great deliverances to his king, and sheweth loving-kindness to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.

Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their language to the extremity of the world. In them hath he set a tent for the sun,

The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring for ever; the judgments of Jehovah are truth, they are righteous altogether:

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; thou gavest it him, length of days for ever and ever.

For thou hast made him to be blessings for ever; thou hast filled him with joy by thy countenance.

For the king confideth in Jehovah: and through the loving-kindness of the Most High he shall not be moved.

Thou shalt make them as a fiery furnace in the time of thy presence; Jehovah shall swallow them up in his anger, and the fire shall devour them:

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

For thou wilt make them turn their back; thou wilt make ready thy bowstring against their face.

{To the chief Musician. Upon Aijeleth-Shahar. A Psalm of David.} My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou far from my salvation, from the words of my groaning?

My God, I cry by day, and thou answerest not; and by night, and there is no rest for me:

Be not far from me, for trouble is near; for there is none to help.

For dogs have encompassed me; an assembly of evil-doers have surrounded me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

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

Ye that fear Jehovah, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and revere him, all ye the seed of Israel.

For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him: but when he cried unto him, he heard.

My praise is from thee, in the great congregation; I will pay my vows before them that fear him.

The meek shall eat and be satisfied; they shall praise Jehovah that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.

For the kingdom is Jehovah's, and he ruleth among the nations.

A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.

He restoreth my soul; he leadeth me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

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

Surely, goodness and loving-kindness shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of Jehovah for the length of the days.

For it was he that founded it upon seas, and established it upon floods.

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.

Remember, Jehovah, thy tender mercies and thy loving-kindnesses; for they are from everlasting.

Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; according to thy loving-kindness remember thou me, for thy goodness' sake, Jehovah.

All the paths of Jehovah are loving-kindness and truth for such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

For thy name's sake, O Jehovah, thou wilt indeed pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.

The secret of Jehovah is with them that fear him, that he may make known his covenant to them.

Mine eyes are ever toward Jehovah; for he will bring my feet out of the net.

Turn toward me, and be gracious unto me; for I am solitary and afflicted.

Consider mine enemies, for they are many, and they hate me with cruel hatred.

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.

{A Psalm of David.} Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity, and I have confided in Jehovah: I shall not slip.
