Blessed is the man who has not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, and has not stood in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the seat of the scornful.

The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers plot together, against Jehovah and against His anointed, saying,

Yea, I have set My king on My holy hill, on Zion.

I will declare the decree of Jehovah. He has said to Me, You are My Son; today I have begotten You.

I am not afraid of ten thousands of people who have set against me all around.

But know that Jehovah has set apart the godly for Himself. Jehovah hears when I call to Him.

The foolish shall not stand in Your sight. You hate all doers of iniquity.

To the Chief Musician, on the harp. A Psalm of David. O Jehovah our Lord, how excellent is Your name in all the earth! You have set Your glory above the heavens!

For You have maintained my right and my cause; You sat in the throne judging right.

Arise, O Jehovah; let not man be strong. Let the nations be judged in Your sight.

His ways are always perverted; Your judgments are high, out of his sight. As for all his enemies, he puffs at them.

He has said in his heart, I shall not be moved; from generation to generation, never in evil!

He sits in the hiding-places of the villages; in the secret places he murders the innocent. His eyes are secretly set against the poor.

He has said in his heart, God has forgotten; He hides His face; He will not see forever!

Why do the wicked condemn God? He has said in his heart, You will not judge.

that has said, With our tongue we shall do much; our lips are our own; who is lord over us?

For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, I will now arise, says Jehovah. I will set in safety, he pants for it.

The wicked walk on every side, when vileness is praised by the sons of men.

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The fool has said in his heart, There is no God! They acted corruptly; they have done abominable works, there is none who does good.

Oh my soul, you have said to Jehovah, You are my Lord; I have no goodness apart from You.

I have set Jehovah always before Me; because He is at My right hand, I shall not be moved.

Set out Your wonderful loving-kindness, O Savior of those seeking refuge in You, by Your right hand, from those who rise up against me.

they have now hemmed in our steps, they have set their eyes to bow me to the earth,

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David, the servant of Jehovah, who spoke to Jehovah the words of this song in the day that Jehovah delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul; and he said: I love You, O Jehovah, my strength.

They went before me in the day of my calamity; but Jehovah was my stay.

magnifying the salvations to His king, and working mercy to His anointed, to David, and to his seed forevermore.

Their line has gone out through all the earth and their words to the end of the world. In them He has set a tabernacle for the sun,

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O Jehovah, my Rock and my Redeemer.

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. May Jehovah hear you in the day of trouble, the name of the God of Jacob set you on high,

We will rejoice in your salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up banners; may Jehovah fulfill all your prayers.

For You go before him with the blessings of goodness; You set a crown of pure gold on his head.

Their fruit shall You destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the sons of men.

You who fear Jehovah, praise Him; all of you, the seed of Jacob, glorify Him; and fear Him all the seed of Israel.

A seed shall serve Him; it shall be spoken of Jehovah to the coming generation.

His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.

I have not sat with lying men, neither will I go in with hypocrites.

I have hated the congregation of evil-doers, and will not sit with the wicked.

For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His shelter, in the secrecy of His tabernacle He shall hide me; He shall set me up on a rock.

And in my blessedness I said, I shall never be moved.

and have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy; You have set my feet in a broad place.

For I have heard the slander of many; fear is on every side; because of their plottings together against me, they planned to take away my life.

But I trusted in You, O Jehovah; I said, You are my God.

For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before Your eyes; surely You heard the voice of my cries, when I cried to You.

I confessed my sin to You, and my iniquity I have not hidden. I said, I will confess my transgression to Jehovah; and You forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

I have been young, and am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, or his seed begging bread.

All the day long he deals graciously, and lends; and his seed is blessed.

For Jehovah loves judgment and does not forsake His saints; they are kept forever; but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

For I said, Hear me, lest they rejoice over me; when my foot slips, they magnify themselves against me.

To the Chief Musician, to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. I said, I will take heed to my ways so that I do not sin with my tongue; I will keep my mouth with a bridle while the wicked are before me.

He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet on a rock, and gave sureness to my steps.

O Jehovah my God, many things You have done, Your wonderful works and Your thoughts which are toward us; they cannot be set in order to You; I will declare and speak, for they are more than can be numbered.

Then I said, Lo, I come, in the volume of the Book it is written of Me;

I said, Jehovah, be merciful to me; heal my soul; for I have sinned against You.

And I, in my integrity You uphold me; and You set me before Your face forever.

Set your heart on its ramparts, pass between its strongholds; so that you may tell it to the coming generation.

You sit; you speak against your brother; you slander your own mother's son.

These things you have done, and I have kept silence; you thought that I was like yourself, but I will rebuke you, and set in order before your eyes.

Against You, You only, have I sinned, and done evil in Your sight; that You might be justified when You speak, and be clear when You judge.

To the Chief Musician. A contemplation. A Psalm of David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said to him, David has come to the house of Ahimelech. Why do you boast yourself in evil, O mighty man? The mercy of God endures forever.

To the Chief Musician on Mahalath. A contemplation. A Psalm of David. The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They acted corruptly, and have worked out abominable wickedness; there is not one doing good.

To the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A contemplation. A Psalm of David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Does not David hide himself among us? Save me, O God, by Your name, and judge me by Your strength.

For strangers have risen up against me, and cruel men seek after my soul; they have not set God before them. Selah.

And I said, Who will give to me wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest.

We took sweet counsel together, and walked to the house of God in company.

Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery; if riches increase, do not set your heart on them.

The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan; I will bring back My people from the depths of the sea;

They who sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards.

But I am poor and sorrowful; let Your salvation, O God, set me up on high.

And the seed of His servants shall inherit it, and they who love His name shall dwell in it.

You will increase my greatness and surround and comfort me on every side.

He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence; and their blood shall be precious in His sight.

They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walks through the earth.

Surely You set them in slippery places; You cast them down into ruin.

Your enemies roar in the midst of Your congregation; they set up their own banners for signs.

They said in their hearts, Together let us rage against them; they have burned up all God's meeting-places in the land.

You have set all the borders of the earth; You have made summer and winter.

I said to the proud, Do not boast; and to the wicked, Do not lift up the horn;

And I said, This is my weakness, the years of the right hand of the Most High.

For He set up a testimony in Jacob, and ordered a Law in Israel, which He commanded our fathers, that they should teach them to their sons;

so that they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep His Commandments;

and might not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that did not set their heart aright, and whose spirit was not faithful with God.

He did marvelous things in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.

And they spoke against God; they said, Can God set a table in the wilderness?

how He had set His signs in Egypt, and His wonders in the fields of Zoan.

I have said, You are gods; and all of you sons of the Most High.

They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, so that the name Israel may be remembered no more.

who said, Let us take possession for ourselves of the houses of God.

Righteousness shall go before Him and shall set us in the way of His steps.

O God, the proud have risen against me, and the company of violent men have sought after my life, and have not set You before them.

And to Zion it shall be said, This man and that man was born in her; and the Highest shall establish her.

For I have said, Mercy shall be built up forever; You shall establish Your faithfulness in the heavens.

Your seed will I establish forever, and build up your throne to all generations. Selah.

Then You spoke in a vision to Your holy one, and You said, I have laid help on a mighty one; I have lifted up a chosen one out of the people.

I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.

Also I have set his seed forever, and his throne as the days of the heavens.

His seed shall endure forever, and his throne as the sun before Me.

You have set up the right hand of his enemies; You have made all his enemies rejoice.

For a thousand years in Your sight are as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.

You have set our iniquities before You, our secret sins in the light of Your face.

A thousand shall fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; it shall not come near you.
