But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and in his law will he exercise himself, day and night.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the waterside, that will bring forth his fruit in due season. His leaf, also, shall not wither; and, look, whatsoever he doeth, it shall prosper.

As for me, I will preach the law, whereof the LORD hath said unto me, "Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.

I will not be afraid for ten thousands of the people that have set themselves against me.

O ye sons of men, how long will ye blaspheme mine honour, and have such pleasure in vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.

I will lay me down in peace, and take my rest; for it is thou, LORD, only that makest me dwell in safety.

My voice shalt thou hear betimes, O LORD. Early in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

Thou shalt destroy the liars; the LORD will abhor both the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

But as for me, I will come into thy house, even upon the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.

for thou, LORD, wilt give thy blessing unto the righteous, and with thy favourable kindness wilt thou defend him, as with a shield.

My soul also is sore troubled; but LORD, how long wilt thou punish me?

For in death no man remembereth thee: and who will give thee thanks in the hell?

The LORD hath heard my humble petition; the LORD will receive my prayer.

If a man will not turn, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow and made it ready.

For I will consider thy heavens, even the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars which thou hast ordained.

{To the Chanter upon Muthlabben, a Psalm of David} I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will speak of all thy marvelous works.

I will be glad and rejoice in thee; yea, my songs will I make of thy name, O thou most highest.

The LORD also will be a defense for the oppressed, even a refuge in due time of trouble.

And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; for thou, LORD, hast never failed them that seek thee.

That I may show all thy praises within the ports of the daughter of Zion, I will rejoice in thy salvation.

He hath said in his heart, "Tush, God hath forgotten, he hath turned away his face, so that he will never see it."

I will sing of the LORD, because he hath dealt so lovingly with me; Yea, I will praise the name of the LORD the most highest.

I will thank the LORD for giving me warning: my reins also chasten me in the night season.

{To the Chanter, of David, servant of the Lord, which said unto the Lord the words of this song, on the day in which the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul, and said} I will love thee, O Lord, my strength.

The LORD is my stony rock, and my defense, my Saviour, my God, and my might, in whom I will trust, my buckler, the horn also of my salvation, and my refuge. {TYNDALE: The LORD is my rock, my castle and my deliverer. God is my strength, and in him will I trust: my shield and the horn that defendeth me: mine high hold and refuge.}

3 I will call upon the LORD, which is worthy to be praised; so shall I be safe from mine enemies. {TYNDALE: I will praise and call on the LORD, and so shall be saved from mine enemies.}

In my trouble I will call upon the LORD, and complain unto my God. So he shall hear my voice out of his holy temple, and my complaint shall come before him: it shall enter even into his ears. {TYNDALE: In my tribulation I called to the LORD, and cried to my God. And he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry entered into his ears.}

For I have an eye unto all his laws, and will not cast out his commandments from me. {TYNDALE: But I had all his laws in my sight, and I turned my face from none of his ordinances.}

For in thee I can discomfit a host of men, and with the help of my God I shall leap over the wall. {TYNDALE: With thy help I will run through a host of men, and by the aid of my God will spring over a wall.}

I will follow upon mine enemies, and overtake them; neither will I turn again till I have destroyed them. {TYNDALE: I followed mine enemies and destroyed them, and turned not again until I had consumed them.}

I will smite them, that they shall not be able to stand, but fall under my feet. {TYNDALE: I wasted them and so clouted them, that they could not arise: but fell under my feet.}

I will beat them as small as the dust before the wind; I will cast them out as the clay in the streets. {TYNDALE: And I will beat them as small as the dust of the earth, and will stamp them as the dirt of the street, and will spread them abroad.}

For this cause will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the gentiles, and sing praises unto thy name. {TYNDALE: And therefore I will praise thee O LORD among the heathen, and will sing unto thy name.}

We will rejoice in thy health, and triumph in the name of the LORD our God! The LORD perform all thy petitions!

Now know I that the LORD helpeth his anointed, and will hear him from his holy heaven, even with the wholesome strength of his righthand.

{A Psalm of David} Unto thee, O LORD, will I lift up my soul;

Gracious and righteous is the LORD; therefore will he teach sinners in the way.

For thy loving-kindness is ever before mine eyes; and I will walk in thy truth.

I have not dwelt with vain persons; neither will I have fellowship with the deceitful.

I hate the congregation of the wicked, and will not sit among the ungodly.

I wash my hands with innocency, O LORD, and so will I go to thine altar,

But as for me, I will walk innocently: O deliver me, and be merciful unto me.

{A Psalm and song of the dedication of the house of David} I will magnify thee, O LORD; for thou hast set me up, and not suffered my foes to triumph over me.

Therefore shall every good man sing of thy praise without ceasing. O my God, I will give thanks unto thee forever.

I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy; for thou hast considered my trouble,

I will acknowledge my sin unto thee; and mine unrighteousness have I not hid. I said, "I will confess my sins unto the LORD." And so thou forgavest the wickedness of my sin. Selah.

Be ye not like to horse and mule, which have no understanding, whose mouths must be held with bit and bridle, if they will not obey thee.

For I will confess my wickedness, and be sorry for my sin.

Why art thou so full of heaviness, O my soul, and why art thou so disquieted within me? Put thy trust in God; for I will give him thanks for the help of his countenance.

I will say unto God my strength, "Why hast thou forgotten me? Why go I thus heavily, while the enemy oppresseth me?"

Why art thou so vexed, O my soul, and why art thou so disquieted within me? O put thy trust in God; for I will yet thank him, which is the help of my countenance, and my God.

and that I may go unto the altar of God, even unto the God of my joy and gladness: and upon the harp will I give thanks unto thee, O God, my God.

Why art thou so heavy, O my soul, and why art thou so disquieted within me? O put thy trust in God, for I will yet give him thanks, which is the help of my countenance, and my God.

Through thee will we overthrow our enemies, and in thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.

For I will not trust in my bow; it is not my sword that shall help me.

We make our boast of God all day long, and will praise thy Name forever. Selah.

Wherefore hidest thou thy face? Wilt thou clean forget our misery and oppression?

I will remember thy name from one generation to another; therefore shall the people give thanks unto thee, world without end.

Therefore will we not fear, though the earth be moved, and though the hills be carried into the midst of the sea;

"Be still then, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the Heathen, I will be exalted upon earth."

Nevertheless, man will not abide in honour, seeing he may be compared unto the beasts that perish; this is the way of them.

For while he lived, he counted himself a happy man; and so long as thou doest well unto thyself, men will speak good of thee.

"Hear, O my people, and I will speak; I myself will testify against thee, O Israel; for I am God, even thy God.
