Tremble, and do not sin;
Meditate in your heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

You have put gladness in my heart,
More than when their grain and new wine abound.

Depart from me, all you who do iniquity,
For the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.

The Lord has heard my supplication,
The Lord receives my prayer.

My shield is with God,
Who saves the upright in heart.

For the choir director; on Muth-labben. A Psalm of David.
I will give thanks to the Lord with all my heart;
I will tell of all Your wonders.

For the wicked boasts of his heart’s desire,
And the greedy man curses and spurns the Lord.

O Lord, You have heard the desire of the humble;
You will strengthen their heart, You will incline Your ear

For, behold, the wicked bend the bow,
They make ready their arrow upon the string
To shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.

They speak falsehood to one another;
With flattering lips and with a double heart they speak.

How long shall I take counsel in my soul,
Having sorrow in my heart all the day?
How long will my enemy be exalted over me?

But I have trusted in Your lovingkindness;
My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.
The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt, they have committed abominable deeds;
There is no one who does good.

He who walks with integrity, and works righteousness,
And speaks truth in his heart.

In whose eyes a reprobate is despised,
But who honors those who fear the Lord;
He swears to his own hurt and does not change;

Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices;
My flesh also will dwell securely.

You have tried my heart;
You have visited me by night;
You have tested me and You find nothing;
I have purposed that my mouth will not transgress.

They have closed their unfeeling heart,
With their mouth they speak proudly.

In my distress I called upon the Lord,
And cried to my God for help;
He heard my voice out of His temple,
And my cry for help before Him came into His ears.

There is no speech, nor are there words;
Their voice is not heard.

The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in Your sight,
O Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

May He grant you your heart’s desire
And fulfill all your counsel!

You have given him his heart’s desire,
And You have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah.

I am poured out like water,
And all my bones are out of joint;
My heart is like wax;
It is melted within me.

For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted;
Nor has He hidden His face from him;
But when he cried to Him for help, He heard.

The afflicted will eat and be satisfied;
Those who seek Him will praise the Lord.
Let your heart live forever!

He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
Who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood
And has not sworn deceitfully.

The troubles of my heart are enlarged;
Bring me out of my distresses.

Examine me, O Lord, and try me;
Test my mind and my heart.

Though a host encamp against me,
My heart will not fear;
Though war arise against me,
In spite of this I shall be confident.

When You said, “Seek My face,” my heart said to You,
“Your face, O Lord, I shall seek.”

Wait for the Lord;
Be strong and let your heart take courage;
Yes, wait for the Lord.

Blessed be the Lord,
Because He has heard the voice of my supplication.

The Lord is my strength and my shield;
My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped;
Therefore my heart exults,
And with my song I shall thank Him.

For I have heard the slander of many,
Terror is on every side;
While they took counsel together against me,
They schemed to take away my life.

As for me, I said in my alarm,
“I am cut off from before Your eyes”;
Nevertheless You heard the voice of my supplications
When I cried to You.

Be strong and let your heart take courage,
All you who hope in the Lord.

Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous ones;
And shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart.

The counsel of the Lord stands forever,
The plans of His heart from generation to generation.

For our heart rejoices in Him,
Because we trust in His holy name.

This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him
And saved him out of all his troubles.

Do not let them say in their heart, “Aha, our desire!”
Do not let them say, “We have swallowed him up!”

For the choir director. A Psalm of David the servant of the Lord.
Transgression speaks to the ungodly within his heart;
There is no fear of God before his eyes.

O continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You,
And Your righteousness to the upright in heart.

Delight yourself in the Lord;
And He will give you the desires of your heart.

Their sword will enter their own heart,
And their bows will be broken.

The law of his God is in his heart;
His steps do not slip.

I am benumbed and badly crushed;
I groan because of the agitation of my heart.

My heart throbs, my strength fails me;
And the light of my eyes, even that has gone from me.

My heart was hot within me,
While I was musing the fire burned;
Then I spoke with my tongue:

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.
I waited patiently for the Lord;
And He inclined to me and heard my cry.

I delight to do Your will, O my God;
Your Law is within my heart.”

I have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart;
I have spoken of Your faithfulness and Your salvation;
I have not concealed Your lovingkindness and Your truth from the great congregation.

For evils beyond number have surrounded me;
My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to see;
They are more numerous than the hairs of my head,
And my heart has failed me.

Let those be ashamed and humiliated together
Who seek my life to destroy it;
Let those be turned back and dishonored
Who delight in my hurt.

And when he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood;
His heart gathers wickedness to itself;
When he goes outside, he tells it.

All who hate me whisper together against me;
Against me they devise my hurt, saying,

For the choir director. A Maskil of the sons of Korah.
O God, we have heard with our ears,
Our fathers have told us
The work that You did in their days,
In the days of old.

Our heart has not turned back,
And our steps have not deviated from Your way,

Would not God find this out?
For He knows the secrets of the heart.

For the choir director; according to the Shoshannim. A Maskil of the sons of Korah. A Song of Love.
My heart overflows with a good theme;
I address my verses to the King;
My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

Your arrows are sharp;
The peoples fall under You;
Your arrows are in the heart of the King’s enemies.

Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change
And though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea;

As we have heard, so have we seen
In the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God;
God will establish her forever. Selah.

My mouth will speak wisdom,
And the meditation of my heart will be understanding.

Create in me a clean heart, O God,
And renew a steadfast spirit within me.

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;
A broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.

For the choir director; according to Mahalath. A Maskil of David.
The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God,”
They are corrupt, and have committed abominable injustice;
There is no one who does good.

My heart is in anguish within me,
And the terrors of death have fallen upon me.

His speech was smoother than butter,
But his heart was war;
His words were softer than oil,
Yet they were drawn swords.

My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises!

No, in heart you work unrighteousness;
On earth you weigh out the violence of your hands.

From the end of the earth I call to You when my heart is faint;
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

For You have heard my vows, O God;
You have given me the inheritance of those who fear Your name.

Trust in Him at all times, O people;
Pour out your heart before Him;
God is a refuge for us. Selah.

Do not trust in oppression
And do not vainly hope in robbery;
If riches increase, do not set your heart upon them.

Once God has spoken;
Twice I have heard this:
That power belongs to God;

They devise injustices, saying,
“We are ready with a well-conceived plot”;
For the inward thought and the heart of a man are deep.

The righteous man will be glad in the Lord and will take refuge in Him;
And all the upright in heart will glory.

If I regard wickedness in my heart,
The Lord will not hear;

But certainly God has heard;
He has given heed to the voice of my prayer.

Rebuke the beasts in the reeds,
The herd of bulls with the calves of the peoples,
Trampling under foot the pieces of silver;
He has scattered the peoples who delight in war.

Reproach has broken my heart and I am so sick.
And I looked for sympathy, but there was none,
And for comforters, but I found none.

The humble have seen it and are glad;
You who seek God, let your heart revive.

Let those be ashamed and humiliated
Who seek my life;
Let those be turned back and dishonored
Who delight in my hurt.

My tongue also will utter Your righteousness all day long;
For they are ashamed, for they are humiliated who seek my hurt.

A Psalm of Asaph.
Surely God is good to Israel,
To those who are pure in heart!

Their eye bulges from fatness;
The imaginations of their heart run riot.

Surely in vain I have kept my heart pure
And washed my hands in innocence;

When my heart was embittered
And I was pierced within,

My flesh and my heart may fail,
But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

They said in their heart, “Let us completely subdue them.”
They have burned all the meeting places of God in the land.

You caused judgment to be heard from heaven;
The earth feared and was still

I will remember my song in the night;
I will meditate with my heart,
And my spirit ponders:

Which we have heard and known,
And our fathers have told us.

And not be like their fathers,
A stubborn and rebellious generation,
A generation that did not prepare its heart
And whose spirit was not faithful to God.

And in their heart they put God to the test
By asking food according to their desire.

Therefore the Lord heard and was full of wrath;
And a fire was kindled against Jacob
And anger also mounted against Israel,

For their heart was not steadfast toward Him,
Nor were they faithful in His covenant.
