From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who surround me.

From men by your hand, O LORD, from men of the world, who have their portion in this life, and whose belly you fill with your 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 on 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 you, O LORD, my strength.

The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from my enemies.

He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them who hated me: for they were too strong for me.

For who is God except the LORD? or who is a rock except our God?

You have delivered me from the strivings of the people; and you have made me the head of the nations: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.

Who can understand his errors? cleanse me from secret faults.

Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?

He that has clean hands, and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

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.

Yea, let none that wait on you be ashamed: let them be ashamed who transgress without cause.

[A Psalm of David.] The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.

Let the lying lips be put to silence; who speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.

Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputes not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.

Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.

[A Psalm of David when he pretended madness before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.] I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like unto you, who delivers the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that plunders him?

Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favor my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, who has pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not yourself because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked devices to pass.

Surely every man walks in a vain show: surely they are in turmoil in vain: he heaps up riches, and knows not who shall gather them.

Yea, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who did eat of my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.

Why are you cast down, O my soul? and why are you disturbed within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

Why are you cast down, O my soul? and why are you disturbed within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

You make us to turn back from the enemy: and they who hate us take spoil for themselves.

Instead of your fathers shall be your children, whom you may make princes in all the earth.

He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.

Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God.

I will cry unto God most high; unto God who performs all things for me.

As a snail who melts, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.

So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God who judges in the earth.

Behold, they bellow out with their mouths: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, does hear?

Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?

Will not you, O God, who had cast us off? and you, O God, who did not go out with our armies?

Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:

They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they talk of laying snares secretly; they say, Who shall see them?

Blessed is the man whom you choose, and cause to approach unto you, that he may dwell in your courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of your house, even of your holy temple.

By awesome deeds in righteousness will you answer us, O God of our salvation; who is the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:

Who by his strength established the mountains; being girded with power:

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

Who holds our soul in life, and allows not our feet to be moved.

Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.

God sets the solitary in families: he brings out those who are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.

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

For they persecute him whom you have smitten; and they talk of the grief of those whom you have wounded.

Your righteousness also, O God, is very high, who has done great things: O God, who is like unto you!

You, who have showed me great and severe troubles, shall revive me again, and shall bring me up again from the depths of the earth.

Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only does wondrous things.

Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.

Whom have I in heaven but you? and there is none upon earth that I desire besides you.

You, even you, are to be feared: and who may stand in your sight when once you are angry?

Your way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?

That the generation to come might know them, even the children who should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children:

Why have you then broken down its hedges, so that all they who pass by the way do pluck its fruit?

Let your hand be upon the man of your right hand, upon the son of man whom you made strong for yourself.

I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt: open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.

Who perished at Endor: they became as refuse for the earth.

Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.

Who passing through the valley of Baca makes it a well; the rain also fills the pools.

Show me a sign for good; that they who hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because you, LORD, have helped me, and comforted me.

Adrift among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom you remember no more: and they are cut off from your hand.

For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD?

O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto you? or to your faithfulness round about you?

With whom my hand shall be established: my arm also shall strengthen him.

Who knows the power of your anger? even according to your fear, so is your wrath.

Because you have made the LORD, who is my refuge, even the most High, your habitation;

O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongs; O God, to whom vengeance belongs, show yourself.

Blessed is the man whom you chasten, O LORD, and teach him out of your law;

Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?

Unto whom I swore in my anger that they should not enter into my rest.

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

Who forgives all your iniquities; who heals all your diseases;

Who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

Who satisfies your mouth with good things; so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

Who covers yourself with light as with a garment: who stretches out the heavens like a curtain:

Who lays the beams of his chambers in the waters: who makes the clouds his chariot: who walks upon the wings of the wind:

Who makes his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:

Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed forever.

He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:

He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen.

Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? who can show forth all his praise?

They forgot God their savior, who had done great things in Egypt;

They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them:

And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.

Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he has redeemed from the hand of the enemy;

For he commands, and raises the stormy wind, who lifts up the waves thereof.

Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?

Will not you, O God, who has cast us off? and will not you, O God, go forth with our armies?

Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwells on high,

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

Who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.

You are blessed of the LORD who made heaven and earth.

God is the LORD, who has showed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.

[Aleph] Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.

You have rebuked the proud that are cursed, who do err from your commandments.

Establish your word unto your servant, who is devoted to your fear.

Great peace have they who love your law: and nothing shall offend them.
