To thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defense, and the God of my mercy.

To the chief Musician upon Shushan-eduth, Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, when Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the valley of salt twelve thousand. O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.

Thou hast shown thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment.

Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.

God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth.

Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of my head; Judah is my lawgiver;

Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me.

Wilt thou not, O God, who hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, who didst not go out with our armies?

Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.

To the chief Musician upon Neginah, A Psalm of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer.

From the end of the earth will I cry to thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.

For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.

To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David. Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.

How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.

In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.

Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;

Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

But those that seek my soul to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.

To the chief Musician, a Psalm of David. Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:

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

They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.

And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.

To the chief Musician, A Psalm and Song of David. Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Zion: and to thee shall the vow be performed.

Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach to thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.

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

Who stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.

They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.

Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.

Thou waterest the ridges of it abundantly: thou settlest the furrows of it: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing of it.

They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.

Sing forth the honor of his name: make his praise glorious.

Say to God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thy enemies submit themselves to thee.

Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing towards the children of men.

O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard:

I will offer to thee burnt-sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.

If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:

But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

God will bless us, and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.

To the chief Musician, A Psalm or Song of David. Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before 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.

A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.

The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God: even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor.

The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.

Kings of armies fled apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil.

Though ye have lain among the pots, yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold.

The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan; a high hill as the hill of Bashan.

The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place.

Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.

He that is our God is the God of salvation; and to GOD the Lord belong the issues from death.

But God will wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such one as goeth on still in his trespasses.

The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea.

That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thy enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same.

They have seen thy goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.

Bless ye God in the congregations, even the Lord, from the fountain of Israel.

There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah and their counsel, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.

Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents to thee.

Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one shall submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people that delight in war.

Princes shall come out of Egypt; Cush shall soon stretch out her hands to God.

Sing to God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises to the Lord; Selah:

To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.

O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power to his people. Blessed be God.

To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, A Psalm of David. Save me, O God; for the waters are come in to my soul.

I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: my eyes fail while I wait for my God.

They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head: they that would destroy me, being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.

Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel.

For the zeal of thy house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee have fallen upon me.

They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards.

But as for me, my prayer is to thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.

Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.

Hear me, O LORD; for thy loving-kindness is good: turn to me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.

Draw nigh to my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of my enemies.

Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.

Pour out thy indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.

For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.

Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.

I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.

For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.

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

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David to bring to remembrance. Make haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O LORD.

Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.

Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.

By thee have I been sustained from my birth: thou art he that brought me into life: my praise shall be continually of thee.

Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.

I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.

Thou, who hast shown me great and severe troubles, wilt revive me again, and wilt bring me again from the depths of the earth.

I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God: to thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.

My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought to shame, that seek my hurt.

He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.

In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth.

He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth.

The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.

He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.

And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised.

There shall be a handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit of it shall shake like Lebanon: and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.
