But know that Jehovah hath set apart the pious man for himself: Jehovah will hear when I call unto him.

{To the chief Musician. Upon the Gittith. A Psalm of David.} Jehovah our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy majesty above the heavens.

Arise, Jehovah; let not man prevail: let the nations be judged in thy sight.

His ways always succeed; thy judgments are far above out of his sight; as for all his adversaries, he puffeth at them.

Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? He hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.

Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail, our lips are our own: who is lord over us?

They have now encompassed us in our steps; their eyes have they set, bowing down 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 had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies and out of the hand of Saul. And he said,} I will love thee, O Jehovah, my strength.

We will triumph in thy salvation, and in the name of our God will we set up our banners. Jehovah fulfil all thy petitions!

For thou hast met him with the blessings of goodness; thou hast set a crown of pure gold on his head.

Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.

Ye that fear Jehovah, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and revere him, all ye the seed of Israel.

My heart said for thee, Seek ye my face. Thy face, O Jehovah, will I seek.

As for me, I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved.

And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large place.

For I have heard the slander of many terror on every side when they take counsel together against me: they plot to take away my life.

But I confided in thee, Jehovah; I said, thou art my God.

As for me, I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes; nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.

I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity I covered not; I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah, and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

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

I have been young, and now am old, and I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed seeking bread:

all the day he is gracious and lendeth, and his seed shall be a blessing.

for Jehovah loveth judgment, and will not forsake his saints: They are preserved for ever; but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

For I said, Let them not rejoice over me! When my foot slipped, they magnified themselves against me.

These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.

Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done what is evil in thy sight; that thou mayest be justified when thou speakest, be clear when thou judgest.
