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

O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there is iniquity in my hands;

Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and a horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.

Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

From men who are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, who have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD, who spoke to the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul: And he said, I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.

They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness to a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.

This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.

Who is this King of glory? the LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.

Who is this King of glory? the LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.

Though a host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.

For this shall every one that is godly pray to thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh to him.

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

This thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.

By this I know that thou favorest me, because my enemy doth not triumph over me.

All this is come upon us; yet we have not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.

Will not God search out this? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.

For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even to death.

To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world:

This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.

Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.

Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mayest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.

Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.

When I cry to thee, then shall my enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.

God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth to God.

Why leap ye, ye lofty hills? this is the hill which God desireth to dwell in; yes, the LORD will dwell in it for ever.

This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs.

The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.

Now also when I am old and gray-headed, O God, forsake me not; until I have shown thy strength to this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.

When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;

Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old: the rod of thy inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, in which thou hast dwelt.

Remember this, the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.

And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High.

Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;

For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.

And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased.

When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:

Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;

For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.

This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not.

I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Cush; this man was born there.

And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the Highest himself shall establish her.

The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah.

A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.

Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:

This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.

So is this great and wide sea, in which are creeping animals innumerable, both small and great beasts.

Let this be the reward of my adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul.

That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, LORD, hast done it.

Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore.

But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for ever. Praise the LORD.

This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.

This is the LORD'S doing; it is wonderful in our eyes.

This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath revived me.

This I had, because I kept thy precepts.

They continue this day according to thy ordinances: for all are thy servants.

The LORD will preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for ever.

This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.

To execute upon them the judgment written: this honor have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.
