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

Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.

{Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the LORD, concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite.} O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:

My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.

He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.

When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.

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

The heathen 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 executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.

Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them.

Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword:

From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.

He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.

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

For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.

Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.

Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.

Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.

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!

I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.

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

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

All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?

Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

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

Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves.

{To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of Korah, Maschil, A Song of loves.} My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

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

Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.

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

As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.

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

Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies?

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

Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power:

Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.

Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.

Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.

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

Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.

God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.

Why leap ye, ye high hills? this is the hill which God desireth to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell in it for ever.

Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.

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

They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine 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.

Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.

My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.

Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast 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:

That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children:

He sent divers sorts 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 hath established for ever.

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

Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?

And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.

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

Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.

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

Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.

Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth?

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

Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?

This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.

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

He sendeth 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 maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart.

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

He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.

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

They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;

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

For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.

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

Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.

Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.

Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth.

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

The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.

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

God is the LORD, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.

Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy commandments.

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

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

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

ZAIN. Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.

The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law.

Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.

My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

{A Song of degrees.} They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.

Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:

Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.
