Yet I have set my king Upon my holy hill of Zion.

I will tell of the decree: Jehovah said unto me, Thou art my son; This day have I begotten thee.

Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way, For his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all they that take refuge in him.

Stand in awe, and sin not: Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that thou visitest him?

Sing praises to Jehovah, who dwelleth in Zion: Declare among the people his doings.

That I may show forth all thy praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in thy salvation.

Thou hast seen it ; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: The helpless committeth himself unto thee; Thou hast been the helper of the fatherless.

Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When Jehovah bringeth back the captivity of his people, Then shall Jacob rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me; The foreigners shall submit themselves unto me.

Their line is gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,

Send thee help from the sanctuary, And strengthen thee out of Zion;

I will be glad and rejoice in thy lovingkindness; For thou hast seen my affliction: Thou hast known my soul in adversities;

Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered.

I acknowledged my sin unto thee, And mine iniquity did I not hide: I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah; And thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah

Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me; They said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.

Thou hast seen it, O Jehovah; keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.

For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, And wither as the green herb.

I have been young, and now am old; Yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his seed begging bread.

I have seen the wicked in great power, And spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.

There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine indignation; Neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.

For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.

I said, I will take heed to my ways, That I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, While the wicked is before me.

Sacrifice and offering thou hast no delight in; Mine ears hast thou opened: Burnt-offering and sin-offering hast thou not required.

Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, Is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, The city of the great King.

As we have heard, so have we seen In the city of Jehovah of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. Selah

Let mount Zion be glad, Let the daughters of Judah rejoice, Because of thy judgments.

Walk about Zion, and go round about her; Number the towers thereof;

The Mighty One, God, Jehovah, hath spoken, And called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.

Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined forth.

Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; Thou slanderest thine own mother's son.

Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin.

For I know my transgressions; And my sin is ever before me.

Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity; And in sin did my mother conceive me.

Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: Build thou the walls of Jerusalem.

Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Then shall Jacob rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; And mine eye hath seen my desire upon mine enemies.

Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongue; For I have seen violence and strife in the city.

The wicked are estranged from the womb: They go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies.

Let them be as a snail which melteth and passeth away, Like the untimely birth of a woman, that hath not seen the sun.

For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul; The mighty gather themselves together against me: Not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Jehovah.

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.

Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Zion; And unto thee shall the vow be performed.

The earth trembled, The heavens also dropped rain at the presence of God: Yon Sinai trembled at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands upon thousands; The Lord is among them, as in'sinai, in the sanctuary.

They have seen thy goings, O God, Even the goings of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.

The meek have seen it, and are glad: Ye that seek after God, let your heart live.

For God will save Zion, and build the cities of Judah; And they shall abide there, and have it in possession.

Give the king thy judgments, O God, And thy righteousness unto the king's son.

They shall fear thee while the sun endureth, And so long as the moon, throughout all generations.

His name shall endure for ever; His name shall be continued as long as the sun: And men shall be blessed in him; All nations shall call him happy.

The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.

Remember thy congregation, which thou hast gotten of old, Which thou hast redeemed to be the tribe of thine inheritance; And mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.

The day is thine, the night also is thine: Thou hast prepared the light and the sun.

In Salem also is his tabernacle, And his dwelling-place in Zion.

Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, In the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.

Yet went they on still to sin against him, To rebel against the Most High in the desert.

How he set his signs in Egypt, And his wonders in the field of Zoan,

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

Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, Upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.

I would soon subdue their enemies, And turn my hand against their adversaries.

Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; In whose heart are the highways to Zion .

They go from strength to strength; Every one of them appeareth before God in Zion.

For Jehovah God is a sun and a shield: Jehovah will give grace and glory; No good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people; Thou hast covered all their sin. Selah

Oh turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; Give thy strength unto thy servant, And save the son of thy handmaid.

Jehovah loveth the gates of Zion More than all the dwellings of Jacob.

Yea, of Zion it shall be said, This one and that one was born in her; And the Most High himself will establish her.

The enemy shall not exact from him, Nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

His seed shall endure for ever, And his throne as the sun before me.

The days of our years are threescore years and ten, Or even by reason of strength fourscore years; Yet is their pride but labor and sorrow; For it is soon gone, and we fly away.

Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, And the years wherein we have seen evil.

Mine eye also hath seen my desire on mine enemies, Mine ears have heard my desire of the evil-doers that rise up against me.

Unless Jehovah had been my help, My soul had soon dwelt in silence.

The heavens declare his righteousness, And all the peoples have seen his glory.

Zion heard and was glad, And the daughters of Judah rejoiced, Because of thy judgments, O Jehovah.

Light is sown for the righteous, And gladness for the upright in heart.

He hath remembered his lovingkindness and his faithfulness toward the house of Israel: All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

Jehovah is great in Zion; And he is high above all the peoples.

Thou wilt arise, and have mercy upon Zion; For it is time to have pity upon her, Yea, the set time is come.

For Jehovah hath built up Zion; He hath appeared in his glory.

That men may declare the name of Jehovah in Zion, And his praise in Jerusalem;

He appointed the moon for seasons: The sun knoweth his going down.

The sun ariseth, they get them away, And lay them down in their dens.

They soon forgat his works; They waited not for his counsel,

When he is judged, let him come forth guilty; And let his prayer be turned into sin.

Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with Jehovah; And let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.

Jehovah will send forth the rod of thy strength out of Zion: Rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.

From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same Jehovah's name is to be praised.

O Jehovah, truly I am thy servant: I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid; Thou hast loosed my bonds.

Thy word have I laid up in my heart, That I might not sin against thee.

ZAYIN. Remember the word unto thy servant, Because thou hast made me to hope.

MEM. I have seen an end of all perfection; But thy commandment is exceeding broad.

The sun shall not smite thee by day, Nor the moon by night.

They that trust in Jehovah Are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abideth for ever.

When Jehovah brought back those that returned to Zion, We were like unto them that dream.

Jehovah bless thee out of Zion: And see thou the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

Let them be put to shame and turned backward, All they that hate Zion.

For Jehovah hath chosen Zion; He hath desired it for his habitation.
