I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.

For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.

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

For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou art set in the throne that judgest right.

And those who know Your name [who have experienced Your precious mercy] will put their confident trust in You,
For You, O Lord, have not abandoned those who seek You.

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

who despises the one rejected by the Lord
but honors those who fear the Lord,
who keeps his word whatever the cost,

O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;

Yahweh, is mine allotted portion and my cup, Thou, art maintaining my lot.

Thou hast proved my heart, thou hast visited me by night; thou hast tried me, thou hast found nothing: my thought goeth not beyond my word.

Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.

Show thy marvelous loving-kindness, thou that art the Saviour of them which put their trust in thee, from such as resist thy righthand.

I was also uncorrupt before him, and eschewed my own wickedness. {TYNDALE: But was pure unto him ward, and kept myself from wickedness.}

Thou also shalt light my candle; the LORD my God shall make my darkness to be light. {TYNDALE: Thou art my light, O LORD, and the LORD shall light my darkness.}

As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.

As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me, but the strange children dissemble with me. {TYNDALE: And the aliens crouched unto me, and obeyed me at a word.}

Day after day it sends out its word, and night after night it gives knowledge.

There is no speech, nor are there [spoken] words [from the stars];
Their voice is not heard.

{To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David.} My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?

But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.

I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly.

But be not thou far from me, O LORD; thou art my succor. Haste thee to help me.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

When You said, “Seek My face [in prayer, require My presence as your greatest need],” my heart said to You,
“Your face, O Lord, I will seek [on the authority of Your word].”

Thou wilt not cover thy face from me; thou wilt not turn away thy servant in anger: thou, wert my help; thou wilt not leave me and thou wilt not forsake me, my God saving me.

Give to them according to their work and according to the evil of their doings, according to the word of their hands; give to them, turn back to them their recompense.

For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.

Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength.

Because of all those who are against me, I have become a word of shame to my neighbours; a cause of shaking the head and a fear to my friends: those who saw me in the street went in flight from me.

But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my God.

Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.

For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth.

By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

For he gave the word, and it was done; by his order it was fixed for ever.

I sought the Lord [on the authority of His word], and He answered me,
And delivered me from all my fears.

The young lions lack [food] and grow hungry,
But they who seek the Lord will not lack any good thing.

I made no sound, I said no word, even of good; and I was moved with sorrow.

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.

Your righteousness has not been folded away in my heart; I have made clear your true word and your salvation; I have not kept secret your mercy or your faith from the great meeting.

But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.

A word of Belial will press upon him: and when he lay down, he will not add to rise up.

Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.

Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

For thou art the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

O send out your light and your true word; let them be my guide: let them take me to your holy hill, and to your tents.

Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.

But now thou art far off, and puttest us to confusion, and goest not forth with our armies.

Our name is a word of shame among the nations, a sign for the shaking of heads among the peoples.

All this has come on us, but still we have kept you in our memory; and we have not been false to your word.

My heart is moved [with] a good word; I recite my {compositions} to [the] king. My tongue [is the] pen [of] a skilled scribe.

Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

And in thy splendor prosper thou riding upon the word of truth and humility, of justice; and thy right hand shall teach thee wonderfully.

I will bend, to a by-word, mine ear, I will open, on the lyre, mine enigma.

But, a son of earth, though wealthy, cannot tarry, He hath made himself a by-word - Beasts, they resemble:

A son of earth though wealthy, who discerneth not, Hath made himself a by-word, Beasts, they resemble.

If thou hast seen a thief, Then thou art pleased with him, And with adulterers is thy portion.

Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.

Against Thee, Thee only, I have sinned, And done the evil thing in Thine eyes, So that Thou art righteous in Thy words, Thou art pure in Thy judging.

Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, thou that art the God of my health; that my tongue may praise thy righteousness.

Each of my friends raises his hand against his allies; each of my friends breaks his word.

In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.

Whensoever I call upon thee, then shall mine enemies be put to flight; whereby I know that thou art my God.

In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise his word.

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

My strength will I ascribe unto thee; for thou art the God of my refuge.

Because of the sin of their mouth, the word of their lips, let them even be taken in their pride; and because of cursing and lying which they speak.

And I will sing thy strength; and I will rejoice at morning for thy mercy; for they wert a height to me, and a refuge in the day of straits to me.

Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing; for thou, O God, art my refuge, and my merciful God.

To the overseer upon the lily of song: poem to David to teach; In the setting on fire Aram of the two rivers, and Aram of the station; and Joab will turn back and strike Edom in the valley of salt, twelve thousand. O God, thou didst cast us off, thou didst break us down, thou wert angry; wilt thou turn back to us?

From the end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my eart is overwhelmed: thou wilt lead me on to a rock which is too high for me.

for thou art my hope, a strong tower for me against the enemy.

and that thou, LORD, art merciful; for thou rewardest every man according to his work.

{A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.} O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;

For thou wert a help to me, and in the shadow of thy wings I will rejoice.

Who have sharpened their tongue like a sword, and have aimed their arrow, a bitter word;

They strengthen for them a wicked word, They talk of hiding snares, They have said, Who can see them?

{To the Chanter, a Psalm and song of David} Thou, O God, art praised in Zion; and unto thee shall the vow be performed in Jerusalem.

By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:

Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.

Keeping the word which came from my lips, and which my mouth said, when I was in trouble.

The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.

Thou art gone up on high; thou hast led captivity captive, and received gifts for men, yea, even for thine enemies, that the LORD God might dwell among them.

O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God.

Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.

Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?

Hath his loving-kindness ceased for ever? hath his word come to an end from generation to generation?

At the last, I came to this point, that I thought, "O why art thou so foolish? the righthand of the most highest can change all!"

Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people.

So that the generation to come might have knowledge of them, even the children of the future, who would give word of them to their children;

And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.
