{A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.} Jehovah, how many are they that trouble me, many they that rise up against me!

But thou, Jehovah, art a shield about me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.

Many say, Who shall cause us to see good? Lift up upon us the light of thy countenance, O Jehovah.

Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; in the morning will I address myself to thee, and will look up.

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

Be gracious unto me, O Jehovah; consider mine affliction from them that hate me, lifting me up from the gates of death:

Arise, Jehovah; O God, lift up thy hand: forget not the afflicted.

Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, eating up my people as they eat bread? They call not upon Jehovah.

He that slandereth not with his tongue, doeth not evil to his companion, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour;

Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another: their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, and I will not take up their names into my lips.

Shew wondrously thy loving-kindnesses, O thou that savest by thy right hand them that trust in thee from those that rise up against them.

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

And thou didst give me the shield of thy salvation, and thy right hand held me up; and thy condescending gentleness hath made me great.

And thou girdedst me with strength to battle; thou didst subdue under me those that rose up against me.

At the hearing of the ear, they obey me: strangers come cringing unto me.

Who hath delivered me from mine enemies: yea, thou hast lifted me up above them that rose up against me; from the man of violence hast thou delivered me.

We will triumph in thy salvation, and in the name of our God will we set up our banners. Jehovah fulfil all thy petitions!

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:

My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue cleaveth to my palate; and thou hast laid me in the dust of death.

He that hath blameless hands and a pure heart; who lifteth not up his soul unto vanity, nor sweareth deceitfully:

Lift up your heads, ye gates, and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in.

Lift up your heads, ye gates; yea, lift up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in.

{A Psalm of David.} Unto thee, Jehovah, do I lift up my soul.

When evil-doers, mine adversaries and mine enemies, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

And now shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me; and I will offer in his tent sacrifices of shouts of joy: I will sing, yea, I will sing psalms unto Jehovah.

For had my father and my mother forsaken me, then had Jehovah taken me up.

Deliver me not over to the will of mine adversaries; for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out violence.

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

For they regard not the deeds of Jehovah, nor the work of his hands: he will destroy them, and not build them up.

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

Jehovah, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol, thou hast quickened me from among those that go down to the pit.

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

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!

He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap; he layeth up the deeps in storehouses.

Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help;

Unrighteous witnesses rise up; they lay to my charge things which I know not.

Stir up thyself, and awake for my right, for my cause, my God and Lord!

Let them not say in their heart, Aha! so would we have it. Let them not say, We have swallowed him up.

He deviseth wickedness up on his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good: he abhorreth not evil.

Verily, man walketh in a vain show; verily they are disquieted in vain; he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.

And he brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock; he hath established my goings:

Thou, O Jehovah my God, hast multiplied thy marvellous works, and thy thoughts toward us: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee; would I declare and speak them, they are more than can be numbered.

A thing of Belial cleaveth fast unto him; and now that he is laid down, he will rise up no more.

Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I confided, who did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.

But thou, Jehovah, be gracious unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.

Through thee will we push down our adversaries; through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.

Rise up for our help, and redeem us for thy loving-kindness' sake.

God is gone up amid shouting, Jehovah amid the sound of the trumpet.

(For the redemption of their soul is costly, and must be given up for ever,)

Then shalt thou have sacrifices of righteousness, burnt-offering, and whole burnt-offering; then shall they offer up bullocks upon thine altar.

Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, eating up my people as they eat bread? they call not upon God.

For strangers are risen up against me, and the violent seek after my life: they have not set God before them. Selah.

Swallow them up, Lord; divide their tongue: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.

{To the chief Musician. On Jonathelem-rechokim. Of David. Michtam; when the Philistines took him in Gath.} Be gracious unto me, O God; for man would swallow me up: all the day long fighting he oppresseth me.

Mine enemies would swallow me up all the day long; for they are many that fight against me haughtily.

He will send from the heavens and save me; he hath covered with reproach him that would swallow me up. Selah. God hath sent forth his loving-kindness and his truth.

{To the chief Musician. 'Destroy not.' Of David. Michtam; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.} Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God; secure me on high from them that rise up against me.

Men of low degree are only vanity; men of high degree, a lie: laid in the balance, they go up together lighter than vanity.

So will I bless thee while I live; I will lift up my hands in thy name.

I will offer up unto thee burnt-offerings of fatted beasts, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.

Sing unto God, sing forth his name; cast up a way for him that rideth in the deserts: his name is Jah; and rejoice before him.

Let not the flood of waters overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up; and let not the pit shut its mouth upon me.

Thou, who hast shewn us many and sore troubles, wilt revive us again, and wilt bring us up again from the depths of the earth;

Behold, these are the wicked, and they prosper in the world: they heap up riches.

Lift up thy steps unto the perpetual desolations: everything in the sanctuary hath the enemy destroyed.

Thine adversaries roar in the midst of thy place of assembly; they set up their signs for signs.

A man was known as he could lift up axes in the thicket of trees;

They said in their heart, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all God's places of assembly in the land.

Thou didst cleave fountain and torrent, thou driedst up ever-flowing rivers.

Give not up the soul of thy turtle-dove unto the wild beast; forget not the troop of thine afflicted for ever.

Rise up, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee all the day;

Forget not the voice of thine adversaries: the tumult of those that rise up against thee ascendeth continually.

I said unto the boastful, Boast not; and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

Lift not up your horn on high; speak not arrogantly with a stiff neck.

When God rose up to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah.

Hath God forgotten to be gracious? or hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.

The voice of thy thunder was in the whirlwind, lightnings lit up the world; the earth was troubled and it quaked.

That the generation to come might know them, the children that should be born; that they might rise up and tell them to their children,

Therefore Jehovah heard, and was wroth; and fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also went up against Israel:

When the anger of God went up against them; and he slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.

But he was merciful: he forgave the iniquity, and destroyed them not; but many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his fury:

And he delivered up their cattle to the hail, and their flocks to thunderbolts.

And delivered up his people unto the sword, and was very wroth with his inheritance:

Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up thy strength, and come to our deliverance.

I am Jehovah thy God, that brought thee up out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

So I gave them up unto their own hearts' stubbornness: they walked after their own counsels.

For behold, thine enemies make a tumult; and they that hate thee lift up the head.

Rejoice the soul of thy servant; for unto thee, Lord, do I lift up my soul.

Thou hast put my familiar friends far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.

I am afflicted and expiring from my youth up; I suffer thy terrors, and I am distracted.

For I said, Loving-kindness shall be built up for ever; in the very heavens wilt thou establish thy faithfulness.

Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne from generation to generation. Selah.

Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass that groweth up:

In the morning it flourisheth and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down and withereth.

They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

And mine eye shall see its desire on mine enemies; mine ears shall hear it of the evil-doers that rise up against me.

The floods lifted up, O Jehovah, the floods lifted up their voice; the floods lifted up their roaring waves.

Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth, render the reward to the proud.

Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? who will stand for me against the workers of iniquity?

When I said, My foot slippeth, thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, held me up.
