O Blessed is the man that hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, and hath not sat in the seat of the scornful.

"Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion."

As for me, I will preach the law, whereof the LORD hath said unto me, "Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.

I will not be afraid for ten thousands of the people that have set themselves against me.

{To the Chanter in Neginoth, a Psalm of David} Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness! Thou hast set me at liberty when I was in trouble; have mercy upon me, and hearken unto my prayer.

Such as be foolish shall not stand in thy sight, for thou hatest all them that work vanity.

{To the Chanter upon Gittith, a Psalm of David} O LORD our governour; how excellent is thy name in all the world; thou hast set thy glory above the heavens!

For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou art set in the throne that judgest right.

But the LORD shall endure forever; he hath also prepared his seat for judgment.

Arise, LORD, and let no man have the upper hand; let the Heathen be judged in thy sight.

His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above, out of his sight. Therefore defieth he all his enemies.

For he hath said in his heart, "Tush, I shall never be cast down; there shall no harm happen unto me."

He sitteth lurking in the thievish corners of the streets, and privily in his lurking dens doth he murder the innocent; his eyes are set against the poor.

He hath said in his heart, "Tush, God hath forgotten, he hath turned away his face, so that he will never see it."

The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD's seat is in heaven. His eyes consider the poor, and his eyelids try the children of men.

Which have said, "With our tongue will we prevail; we are they that ought to speak; Who is lord over us?"

"Now, for the comfortless troubles' sake of the needy, and because of the deep sighing of the poor, I will arise," saith the LORD, "and will help them, and set them at rest."

The ungodly walk on every side; when they are exalted, the children of men are put to rebuke.

{To the Chanter, a Psalm of David} The fool hath said in his heart, "Tush, there is no God." They are corrupt, and become abominable in their doings; there is none that doeth good, no not one.

O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, "Thou art my God, my goods are nothing like unto thee."

I have set the LORD always before me; for he is on my righthand. Therefore I shall not fall.

They lie waiting in our way on every side, watching to cast us down to the ground,

{To the Chanter, of David, servant of the Lord, which said unto the Lord the words of this song, on the day in which the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul, and said} I will love thee, O Lord, my strength.

At the brightness of his presence, his clouds removed hailstones and coals of fire. {TYNDALE: Of the brightness that was before him, coals were set on fire.}

For I have an eye unto all his laws, and will not cast out his commandments from me. {TYNDALE: But I had all his laws in my sight, and I turned my face from none of his ordinances.}

Therefore shall the LORD reward me after my righteous dealing, and according unto the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight. {TYNDALE: And the LORD did to me again, according to my righteousness, and after my pureness that I had in his sight.}

Great prosperity giveth he unto his king, and showeth loving-kindness unto David his anointed, and unto his seed for evermore. {TYNDALE: For thy great and manifold saving of thy king, and showing mercy unto thine anointed, even to David, and his seed forever.}

Their sound is gone out into all lands, and their words in to the ends of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD; my strength and my redeemer.

For thou shalt prevent him with the blessings of goodness, and shalt set a crown of pure gold upon his head.

Their fruit shalt thou root out of the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.

Many oxen are come about me; fat bulls of Bashan close me in on every side.

O praise the LORD, ye that fear him! Magnify him, all ye seed of Jacob, and fear him, all ye seed of Israel.

My praise is of thee in the great congregation; my vows will I perform in the sight of them that fear him.

My seed shall serve him; they shall be counted unto the LORD for a generation.

His soul shall dwell at ease, and his seed shall inherit the land.

I hate the congregation of the wicked, and will not sit among the ungodly.

For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his tabernacle; yea in the secret place of his dwelling shall he hide me, and set me up upon a rock of stone.

Hear the voice of my humble petitions, when I cry unto thee, when I hold up my hands towards the mercy seat of thy holy temple.

O save thy people, and give thy blessing unto thine inheritance; feed them, and set them up forever.

{A Psalm and song of the dedication of the house of David} I will magnify thee, O LORD; for thou hast set me up, and not suffered my foes to triumph over me.

And in my prosperity I said, "I shall never be removed." And why? Thou, LORD, of thy goodness, hast made my hill so strong.

and hast shut me up into the hand of the enemy; but hast set my feet in a large room.

For I have heard the blasphemy of the multitude, and fear is on every side, while they conspire together against me, and take their counsel to take away my life.

But my hope hath been in thee, O LORD; I have said, "Thou art my God."

And when I made haste, I said, "I am cast out of the sight of thine eyes." Nevertheless, thou heardest the voice of my prayer, when I cried unto thee.

I will acknowledge my sin unto thee; and mine unrighteousness have I not hid. I said, "I will confess my sins unto the LORD." And so thou forgavest the wickedness of my sin. Selah.

Great plagues remain for the ungodly; but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD, mercy embraceth him on every side.

For he flattereth himself in his own sight, until his abominable sin be found out.

He imagineth mischief upon his bed, and hath set himself in no good way; neither doth he abhor any thing that is evil.

Commit thy way unto the LORD, set thy hope in him, and he shall bring it to pass.

I have been young, and now am old; and yet saw I never the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging their bread.

The righteous is ever merciful, and lendeth gently; therefore shall his seed be blessed.

For the LORD loveth the thing that is right; he forsaketh not his saints, but they are preserved forever. The unrighteous shall be punished; as for the seed of the ungodly, it shall be rooted out.

I am ready to suffer trouble, and my heaviness is ever in my sight.

{To the Chanter, for praising, a Psalm of David} I said, "I will take heed to my ways, that I offend not in my tongue. I will keep my mouth as it were with a bridle, while the ungodly is in my sight."

He brought me out of the horrible pit, out of the mire and clay; he set my feet upon the rock, and ordered my goings.

Blessed is the man that hath set his hope in the LORD, and turned not unto the proud, and to such as go about with lies.

Then said I, "Lo, I come. In the beginning of the book it is written of me,

I said, "LORD be merciful unto me, heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee!"

Thou hast upholden me because of my innocency, and set me before thy face forever.

Thy seat, O God, endureth forever: the scepter of thy kingdom is a right scepter.

God reigneth over the Heathen; God sitteth upon his holy seat.

The hill of Zion is like a fair plant, whereof all the land rejoiceth: upon the north side lieth the city of the great King.

Mark well her bulwarks, set up her houses, that it may be told them that come after.

"Gather my saints together unto me, those that set more by the covenant than by any offering."

I know all the fowls upon the mountains, and the wild beasts of the field are in my sight.

This thou doest, while I hold my tongue: and thinkest wickedly that I am even such a one as thyself; but I will reprove thee, and set before thee the things that thou hast done.

Against thee only have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight, that thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and clear when thou shalt judge.

{To the Chanter, in Neginoth, an instruction of David when the Ziphites came, and said unto Saul: David is hid among us} Save me, O God, for thy name's sake, and avenge me in thy strength.

The enemy crieth so, and the ungodly cometh on so fast: for they are minded to do me some mischief, so maliciously are they set against me.

And I said, "O that I had wings like a dove! For then would I flee away, and be at rest.

We took sweet counsel together, and walked in the house of God as friends.

Set up thyself, O God, above the heavens, and thy glory above all the earth.

Set up thyself, O God, above the heavens, and thy glory above all the earth.

From the ends of the earth will I call unto thee, when my heart is in heaviness. O set me up upon the rock that is higher than I;

O trust not in wrong or robbery; give not yourselves unto vanity. If riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

They shall drop upon the dwellings of the wilderness; and the little hills shall rejoice on every side.

The LORD hath said, "I will bring my people again, as I did from Bashan; mine own will I bring again, as I did sometimes from the deep of the sea,

I am weary of crying; my throat is dry. My sight faileth me, for waiting so long upon my God.

They that sit in the gate speak against me, and the drunkards make songs upon me.

Thou knowest my reproof, and my shame and my dishonor: mine adversaries are all in thy sight.

The seed of his servants shall inherit it, and they that love his name shall dwell therein.

Thou hast brought me to great honour, and comforted me on every side.

He shall deliver their souls from extortion and wrong, and dear shall their blood be in his sight.

and I said, "Then have I cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency?

Yea, I had almost also said even as they do; but lo, then should I have condemned the generation of thy children.

Namely, how thou hast set them in a slippery places, that thou mayest cast them down headlong and destroy them.

Thine adversaries roar in the midst of thy congregations, and set up their banners for tokens.

They have set fire upon thy holy places, and have defiled the dwelling place of thy name, even to the ground.

Thou hast set all the borders of the earth; thou hast made both summer and winter.

I said unto the fools, "Deal not so madly," and to the ungodly, "Set not up your horn.

Set not up your horn on high, and speak not with a stiff neck."

Thou art fearful, for who may abide in thy sight, when thou art angry?

And not to be as their forefathers, a faithless and stubborn generation, a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not true toward God.

Marvelous things did he in the sight of our forefathers; in the land of Egypt, even in the field of Zoan.

For they spake against God, and said, "Yea yea, God shall prepare a table in the wilderness, shall he?

Their blood have they shed like water on every side of Jerusalem, and there was no man to bury them.

Wherefore shall the heathen say, "Where is now their God?" O let the vengeance of thy servant's blood that is shed, be openly showed upon the heathen in our sight.

I have said, "Ye are gods, and ye are all the children of the most highest.
