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

But thou, Jehovah, art a shield about me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.

For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness; evil shall not sojourn with thee.

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

Thou my soul hast said to Jehovah, Thou art the Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee; --

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 from the paths of the violent man.

As for God, his way is perfect; the word of Jehovah is tried: he is a shield to all that trust in him.

{To the chief Musician. Upon Aijeleth-Shahar. A Psalm of David.} My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou far from my salvation, from the words of my groaning?

And thou art holy, thou that dwellest amid the praises of Israel.

But thou art he that took me out of the womb; thou didst make me trust, upon my mother's breasts.

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

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.

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

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

Draw me out of the net that they have hidden for me; for thou art my strength.

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

Thou art a hiding-place for me; thou preservest me from trouble; thou dost encompass me with songs of deliverance. Selah.

For the word of Jehovah is right, and all his work is in faithfulness.

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

But I am afflicted and needy: the Lord thinketh upon me. Thou art my help and my deliverer: my God, make no delay.

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

Why art thou cast down, 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.

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

Why art thou cast down, 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 thyself art my king, O God: command deliverance for Jacob.

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

In God will I praise his word, in God I put my confidence: I will not fear; what can flesh do unto me?

In God will I praise his word; in Jehovah will I praise his word.

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.

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.

{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 languisheth for thee, in a dry and weary land without water:

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

The Lord gives the word: great the host of the publishers.

Terrible art thou, O God, out of thy sanctuaries, the God of Israel! He it is that giveth strength and might unto the people. Blessed be God!

But I am afflicted and needy: make haste unto me, O God. Thou art my help and my deliverer: O Jehovah, make no delay.

Be to me a rock of habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.

For thou art my hope, O Lord Jehovah, my confidence from my youth.

I have been as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge.

More glorious art thou, more excellent, than the mountains of prey.

Thou, thou art to be feared, and who can stand before thee when once thou art angry?

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

Thou art the God that doest wonders; thou hast declared thy strength among the peoples.

That they may know that thou alone, whose name is Jehovah, art the Most High over all the earth.

For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive, and art of great loving-kindness unto all that call upon thee.

For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God, thou alone.

But thou, Lord, art a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in goodness and truth.

For thou art the glory of their strength; and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted.

He shall call unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation;

Before the mountains were brought forth, and thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from eternity to eternity thou art God.

And thou, Jehovah, art on high for evermore.

Thy throne is established of old; thou art from eternity.

For thou, Jehovah, art the Most High above all the earth; thou art exalted exceedingly above all gods.

But thou art the Same, and thy years shall have no end.

Bless Jehovah, ye his angels, mighty in strength, that execute his word, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

Bless Jehovah, O my soul! Jehovah my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with majesty and splendour;

He is ever mindful of his covenant, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations, --

Until the time when what he said came about: the word of Jehovah tried him.

He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.

For he remembered his holy word, and Abraham his servant;

And they despised the pleasant land; they believed not his word,

He sendeth his word, and healeth them, and delivereth them from their destructions.

Jehovah hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art priest for ever after the order of Melchisedek.

I will give thee thanks, for thou hast answered me, and art become my salvation.

Thou art my God, and I will give thee thanks; my God, I will exalt thee.

BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his path? by taking heed according to thy word.

Thy word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against thee.

Blessed art thou, Jehovah! teach me thy statutes.

I delight myself in thy statutes; I will not forget thy word.

GIMEL. Deal bountifully with thy servant and I shall live; and I will keep thy word.

DALETH. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken me according to thy word.

My soul melteth for sadness: strengthen me according to thy word.

Establish thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear.

VAU. And let thy loving-kindness come unto me, O Jehovah, thy salvation according to thy word.

So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me; for I confide in thy word.

And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; because I have hoped in thy judgments.

ZAIN. Remember the word for thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.

This is my comfort in mine affliction; for thy word hath quickened me.

I have sought thy favour with my whole heart: be gracious unto me according to thy word.

TETH. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O Jehovah, according to thy word.

Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep thy word.

Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.

They that fear thee will see me, and rejoice; because I have hoped in thy word.

Oh let thy loving-kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant.

CAPH. My soul fainteth for thy salvation; I hope in thy word.

Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?

LAMED. For ever, O Jehovah, thy word is settled in the heavens.

I have refrained my feet from every evil path, that I might keep thy word.

NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

I am afflicted very much; O Jehovah, quicken me according to thy word.

Thou art my hiding-place and my shield: I hope in thy word.

Uphold me according to thy word, that I may live; and let me not be ashamed of my hope.

Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness.

Turn unto me, and be gracious unto me, as thou art wont to do unto those that love thy name.

Establish my steps in thy word; and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.

TZADE. Righteous art thou, Jehovah, and upright are thy judgments.

Thy word is exceeding pure, and thy servant loveth it.

I anticipate the morning-dawn and I cry: I hope in thy word.

Mine eyes anticipate the night-watches, that I may meditate in thy word.

Thou, Jehovah, art near, and all thy commandments are truth.
