The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

[A shaggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD concerning Cush, a Benjamite.] O LORD my God, in you do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:

He made a pit, and dug it, and has fallen into the ditch which he made.

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained;

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

The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.

The LORD is known by the judgment which he executes: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.

Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoices as a strong man to run a race.

For they intended evil against you: they devised a mischievous act, which they are not able to perform.

Oh how great is your goodness, which you have laid up for them that fear you; which you have wrought for them that trust in you before the sons of men!

I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go: I will guide you with my eye.

Be you not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, else they come not near unto you.

For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have dug for my soul.

Many, O LORD my God, are your wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are toward us: they cannot be recounted in order unto you: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

[To the Chief Musician upon shoshannim, for the Sons of Korah, a maschil, a song of loves.] My heart is overflowing with a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made concerning the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready scribe.

Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; by which the people fall under you.

All your garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, by which they have made you glad.

There is a river, the streams of which shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacle of the most High.

Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which you have broken may rejoice.

They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have dug a pit before me, into the midst of which they are fallen themselves. Selah.

Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming ever so wisely.

Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bends his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.

For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for the cursing and lying which they speak.

He shall abide before God forever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.

You visit the earth, and water it: you greatly enrich it with the river of God, which is full of water: you prepare them grain, when you have so provided for it.

Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth has spoken, when I was in trouble.

You, O God, did send a plentiful rain, by which you did confirm your inheritance, when it was weary.

Why leap you, you high hills? this is the hill which God desires to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell in it forever.

Your God has commanded your strength: strengthen, O God, that which you have done for us.

To him that rides upon the heaven of heavens, which were of old; lo, he does send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.

They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head: they that would destroy me, being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.

Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.

Be my strong habitation, to which I may continually resort: you have given commandment to save me; for you are my rock and my fortress.

My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto you; and my soul, which you have redeemed.

Remember your congregation, which you have purchased of old; the tribe of your inheritance, which you have redeemed; this mount Zion, where you have dwelt.

Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.

For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children:

He sent swarms of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.

And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased.

So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men;

But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.

And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he has established forever.

Why should the nations say, Where is their God? let him be known among the nations in our sight by the revenging of the blood of your servants which is shed.

And render unto our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, with which they have reproached you, O Lord.

And the vineyard which your right hand has planted, and the branch that you made strong for yourself.

Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield its increase.

All nations which you have made shall come and worship before you, O Lord; and shall glorify your name.

Lord, where are your former lovingkindnesses, which you swore unto David in your truth?

With which your enemies have reproached, O LORD; with which they have reproached the footsteps of your anointed.

You carry them away as with a flood; they are like a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which grows up.

Make us glad according to the days in which you have afflicted us, and the years in which we have seen evil.

The LORD reigns, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, with which he has girded himself: the world also is established, that it cannot be moved.

Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with you, which frames mischief by a law?

They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which you have founded for them.

He sends the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.

By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches.

And wine that makes glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengthens man's heart.

The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted;

You make darkness, and it is night: in which all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.

So is this great and wide sea, which teems with things innumerable, both small and great.

There go the ships: there is that leviathan, which you have made to play therein.

That which you give them they gather: you open your hand, they are filled with good.

He has remembered his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.

Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;

And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.

And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.

Let it be unto him as the garment which covers him, and for a belt with which he is girded continually.

This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.

The stone which the builders rejected has become the head stone of the corner.

This is the day which the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Turn away my reproach which I fear: for your judgments are good.

And I will delight myself in your commandments, which I have loved.

My hands also will I lift up unto your commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in your statutes.

[Zayin] Remember the word unto your servant, upon which you have caused me to hope.

The proud have dug pits for me, which is not after your law.

[A song of ascents.] I will lift up my eyes unto the hills, from which comes my help.

[A song of ascents.] They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abides forever.

Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withers before it grows up:

With which the reaper fills not his hand; nor he that binds sheaves his bosom.

The LORD will perfect that which concerns me: your mercy, O LORD, endures forever: forsake not the works of your own hands.

Let the righteous strike me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be against their evil.

Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the traps of the workers of iniquity.

When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then you knew my path. In the way in which I walked have they secretly laid a snare for me.

Cause me to hear your lovingkindness in the morning; for in you do I trust: cause me to know the way in which I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto you.

He has also established them forever and ever: he has made a decree which shall not pass.
