But his delight is in Jehovah's law, and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

The wicked are not so; but are as the chaff which the wind driveth away.

Thou shalt break them with a sceptre of iron, as a potter's vessel thou shalt dash them in pieces.

Many say of my soul, There is no salvation for him in God. Selah.

Many say, Who shall cause us to see good? Lift up upon us the light of thy countenance, O Jehovah.

When I see thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and stars, which thou hast established;

The fowl of the heavens, and the fishes of the sea, whatever passeth through the paths of the seas.

For the wicked boasteth of his soul's desire, and he blesseth the covetous; he contemneth Jehovah.

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

{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} In Jehovah have I put my trust: 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 be joyful when I am moved.

Jehovah looked down from the heavens upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.

For thou wilt not leave my soul to Sheol, neither wilt thou allow thy Holy One to see corruption.

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

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

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, upon my mother's breasts.

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

Many bulls have encompassed me; Bashan's strong ones have beset me round.

Save me from the lion's mouth. Yea, from the horns of the buffaloes hast thou answered me.

For the kingdom is Jehovah's, and he ruleth among the nations.

He restoreth my soul; he leadeth me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

{Of David. A Psalm.} The earth is Jehovah's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

For thy name's sake, O Jehovah, thou wilt indeed pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.

Unless I had believed to see the goodness of Jehovah in the land of the living ...!

The voice of Jehovah maketh the hinds to calve, and layeth bare the forests; and in his temple doth every one say, Glory!

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

More than to all mine oppressors, I am become exceedingly a reproach, even to my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that see me without flee from me.

He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap; he layeth up the deeps in storehouses.

Taste and see that Jehovah is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him!

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

And draw out the spear, and stop the way against my pursuers: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.

All my bones shall say, Jehovah, who is like unto thee, who deliverest the afflicted from one stronger than he, yea, the afflicted and the needy from him that spoileth 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 exult and rejoice that delight in my righteousness; and let them say continually, Jehovah be magnified, who delighteth in the prosperity of his servant.

How precious is thy loving-kindness, O God! So the sons of men take refuge under the shadow of thy wings.

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

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

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

For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I cannot see; they are more than the hairs of my head: and my heart hath failed me.

Let them be desolate, because of their shame, that say unto me, Aha! Aha!

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

And if one come to see me, he speaketh falsehood; his heart gathereth wickedness to itself: he goeth abroad, he telleth it.

{To the chief Musician. An instruction; of the sons of Korah.} As the hart panteth after the water-brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.

My tears have been my bread day and night, while they say unto me all the day, 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 crushing in my bones mine adversaries reproach me, while they say unto me all the day, Where is thy God?

{To the chief Musician. Upon Shoshannim. Of the sons of Korah. An instruction; a song of the Beloved.} My heart is welling forth with a good matter: I say what I have composed touching the king. My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

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

Hearken, daughter, and see, and incline thine ear; and forget thine own people and thy father's house:

All glorious is the king's daughter within; her clothing is of wrought gold:

With joy and gladness shall they be brought; they shall enter into the king's palace.

They saw, so they marvelled; they were troubled, they fled in consternation:

As we have heard, so have we seen, in the city of Jehovah of hosts, in the city of our God: God doth establish it for ever. Selah.

According to 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 perpetually, and not see corruption.

It shall go to the generation of his fathers: they shall never see light.

Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother, thou revilest thine own mother's son:

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

God looked down from the heavens upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.

Which doth not hearken to the voice of enchanters, of one charming ever so wisely.

Let them be as a snail that melteth as it passeth away; like the untimely birth of a woman, let them not see the sun.

And men shall say, Verily there is fruit 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?

God, whose loving-kindness will come to meet me, God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies.

Give us help from trouble; for vain is man's deliverance.

So will I sing forth thy name for ever, performing my vows from day to day.

To see thy power and thy glory, as I have beheld thee in the sanctuary;

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

They encourage themselves in an evil matter, they concert to hide snares; they say, Who will see them?

They devise iniquities: We have it ready, the plan is diligently sought out. And each one's inward thought and heart is deep.

By their own tongue they are made to fall over one another: all that see them shall flee away.

And all men shall fear, and shall declare God's doing; and they shall wisely consider his work.

By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation, thou confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of the distant regions of the sea. ...

Thou hast visited the earth, thou hast watered it; thou greatly enrichest it: the river of God is full of water; thou providest their corn, when thou hast so prepared it:

Say unto God, How terrible are thy works! because of the greatness of thy strength, thine enemies come cringing unto thee.

Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doings 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.

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

I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's sons;

Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not, and make their loins continually to shake.

The meek shall see it, they shall be glad; ye that seek God, your heart shall live.

Let them turn back because of their shame that say, Aha! Aha!

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

{For Solomon.} O God, give the king thy judgments, and thy righteousness unto the king's son.

And he shall have dominion from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.

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

They said in their heart, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all God's places of assembly in the land.

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 didst break the heads of the monsters on the waters:

O God, thy way is in the sanctuary: who is so great a god as God?

The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they trembled, yea, the depths were troubled:

Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths are in the great waters; and thy footsteps are not known.

He clave the sea, and caused them to pass through; and made the waters to stand as a heap;

And he led them safely, so that they were without fear; and the sea covered their enemies.

Help us, O God of our salvation, because of the glory of thy name; and deliver us, and forgive our sins, for thy name's sake.

Wherefore should the nations say, Where is their God? Let the avenging of the blood of thy servants that is shed be known among the nations in our sight.

It sent out its boughs unto the sea, and its shoots unto the river.

Why hast thou broken down its fences, so that all who pass by the way do pluck it?

So will we not go back from thee. Revive us, and we will call upon thy name.
