The wicked are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

Many there are that say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah

Many there are that say, Who will show us any good? Jehovah, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

The birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, Whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, And the covetous renounceth, yea , contemneth Jehovah.

He saith in his heart, God hath forgotten; He hideth his face; he will never see it.

Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God, And say in his heart, Thou wilt not require it ?

In Jehovah do I take refuge: How say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain;

Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; Lest mine adversaries rejoice when I am moved.

Jehovah looked down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there were any that did understand, That did seek after God.

For thou wilt not leave my soul to Sheol; Neither wilt thou suffer thy holy one to see corruption.

I will call upon Jehovah, who is worthy to be praised: So shall I be saved from mine enemies.

He teacheth my hands to war; So that mine arms do bend a bow of brass.

I will smite them through, so that they shall not be able to rise: They shall fall under my feet.

Grant thee thy heart's desire, And fulfil all thy counsel.

Thou hast given him his heart's desire, And hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah

Be thou exalted, O Jehovah, in thy strength: So will we sing and praise thy power.

My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning?

All they that see me laugh me to scorn: They shoot out the lip, they shake the head,'saying ,

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

Save me from the lion's mouth; Yea, from the horns of the wild-oxen thou hast answered me.

For the kingdom is Jehovah's; And he is the ruler over the nations.

He restoreth my soul: He guideth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

The earth is Jehovah's, and the fulness thereof; The world, and they that dwell therein.

For thy name's sake, O Jehovah, Pardon mine iniquity, for it is great.

I will wash my hands in innocency: So will I compass thine altar, O Jehovah;

I had fainted , unless I had believed to see the goodness of Jehovah In the land of the living.

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

Because of all mine adversaries I am become a reproach, Yea, unto my neighbors exceedingly, And a fear to mine acquaintance: They that did see me without fled from me.

He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap: He layeth up the deeps in store-houses.

Oh taste and see that Jehovah is good: Blessed is the man that taketh refuge in him.

What man is he that desireth life, And loveth many days, that he may see good?

Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that pursue me: Say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.

All my bones shall say, Jehovah, who is like unto thee, Who deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, Yea, the poor and the needy from him that robbeth him?

Let them not say in their heart, Aha, so would we have it: Let them not say, We have swallowed him up.

Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favor my righteous cause: Yea, let them say continually, Jehovah be magnified, Who hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

For with thee is the fountain of life: In thy light shall we see light.

A man's goings are established of Jehovah; And he delighteth in his way.

Wait for Jehovah, and keep his way, And he will exalt thee to inherit the land: When the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: Many shall see it, and fear, And shall trust in Jehovah.

For innumerable evils have compassed me about; Mine iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up; They are more than the hairs of my head; And my heart hath failed me.

Let them be desolate by reason of their shame That say unto me, Aha, aha.

Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: Let such as love thy salvation say continually, Jehovah be magnified.

And if he come to see me , he speaketh falsehood; His heart gathereth iniquity to itself: When he goeth abroad, he telleth it.

An evil disease,'say they , cleaveth fast unto him; And now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.

As the hart panteth after the water brooks, So panteth my soul after thee, O God.

My tears have been my food day and night, While they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?

I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

As with a sword in my bones, mine adversaries reproach me, While they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?

Thine arrows are sharp; The peoples fall under thee; They are in the heart of the king's enemies.

Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; Forget also thine own people, and thy father's house:

So will the king desire thy beauty; For he is thy lord; and reverence thou him.

The king's daughter within the palace is all glorious: Her clothing is inwrought with gold.

With gladness and rejoicing shall they be led: They shall enter into the king's palace.

They saw it, then were they amazed; They were dismayed, they hasted away.

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

As is thy name, O God, So is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: Thy right hand is full of righteousness.

That he should still live alway, That he should not see corruption.

For he shall see it. Wise men die; The fool and the brutish alike perish, And leave their wealth to others.

He shall go to the generation of his fathers; They shall never see the light.

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

The righteous also shall see it , and fear, And shall laugh at him,'saying ,

God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there were any that did understand, That did seek after God.

Which hearkeneth not to the voice of charmers, Charming never so wisely.

So that men shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: Verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth.

Behold, they belch out with their mouth; Swords are in their lips: For who,'say they , doth hear?

My God with his lovingkindness will meet me: God will let me see my desire upon mine enemies.

Consume them in wrath, consume them, so that they shall be no more: And let them know that God ruleth in Jacob, Unto the ends of the earth. Selah

Thou wilt prolong the king's life; His years shall be as many generations.

So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, That I may daily perform my vows.

So have I looked upon thee in the sanctuary, To see thy power and thy glory.

So will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.

They encourage themselves in an evil purpose; They commune of laying snares privily; They say, Who will see them?

They search out iniquities; We have accomplished,'say they , a diligent search: And the inward thought and the heart of every one is deep.

So they shall be made to stumble, their own tongue being against them: All that see them shall wag the head.

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

Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it, Thou greatly enrichest it; The river of God is full of water: Thou providest them grain, when thou hast so prepared the earth.

Say unto God, How terrible are thy works! Through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.

Come, and see the works of God; He is terrible in his doing toward the children of men.

He turned the sea into dry land; They went through the river on foot: There did we rejoice in him.

As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: As wax melteth before the fire, So let the wicked perish at the presence of God.

The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring them again from the depths of the sea;

I am become a stranger unto my brethren, And an alien unto my mother's children.

Let their eyes be darkened, so that they cannot see; And make their loins continually to shake.

Let them be turned back by reason of their shame That say, Aha, aha.

Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee; And let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.

By thee have I been holden up from the womb; Thou art he that took me out of my mother's bowels: My praise shall be continually of thee.

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.

He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, And from the River unto the ends of the earth.

For I was envious at the arrogant, When I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

And they say, How doth God know? And is there knowledge in the Most High?

As a dream when one awaketh, So, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou wilt despise their image.

So brutish was I, and ignorant; I was as a beast before thee.

We see not our signs: There is no more any prophet; Neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.

Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: Thou brakest the heads of the sea-monsters in the waters.

Thou holdest mine eyes watching: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

The waters saw thee, O God; The waters saw thee, they were afraid: The depths also trembled.

Thy way was in the sea, And thy paths in the great waters, And thy footsteps were not known.
