O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.

Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die;

They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:

{To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.} How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!

Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.

Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.

Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works.

O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them.

Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.

As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.

Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.

God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.

The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.

Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.

Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth?

For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.

Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.

For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.

For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.

The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.

Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O LORD, for ever.

The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.

In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also.

For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,

For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.

Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.

Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.

Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me.

My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.

To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;

When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.

I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations.

Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.

The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.

For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.

As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;

Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.

The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.

O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.

So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.

That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.

Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.

Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.

He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth.

Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times.

Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.

They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end.

He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.

Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.

He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.

Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.

For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.

For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.

My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.

The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.

The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.

They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.

Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!

Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.

Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth.

The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD'S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.

I said in my haste, All men are liars.

They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.

ALEPH. Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.

Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.

Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy commandments.

Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counsellers.

Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments are good.

I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.

How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?

The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law.

All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.

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

Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me.

I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation.

How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!

Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart.

PE. Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them.

TZADDI. Righteous art thou, O LORD, and upright are thy judgments.

Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful.

Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are my delights.

They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law.

Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth.

Great are thy tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me according to thy judgments.

Many are my persecutors and mine enemies; yet do I not decline from thy testimonies.

I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all my ways are before thee.

My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments are righteousness.

I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.

For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.

Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
