To the overseer: of David chanting. Waiting, I waited for Jehovah, and he will incline to me, and he will hear my cry.

And he will bring me up from the pit of destruction, from the clay of mire, and he will set my feet upon a rock, preparing my goings.

Then he put a new song in my mouth, a praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and will trust Yahweh.

LORD, my God, You have done great things: marvelous works and your thoughts toward us. There is no one who compares to you! I will try to recite your actions, even though there are too many to number.

You do not delight in sacrifice and offering;
You open my ears to listen.
You do not ask for a whole burnt offering or a sin offering.

I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.

I have proclaimed glad tidings of righteousness in the great assembly; Lo, I will not refrain my lips, O Jehovah, thou knowest.

Lord, do not withhold Your compassion from me;
Your constant love and truth will always guard me.

Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.

But I am poor and needy; Jehovah will care for me; You are my help and my deliverer; O my God, do not wait.

{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.} Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.

The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.

The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.

I said, Lord, have mercy on me; make my soul well, because my faith is in you.

Mine enemies speak evil against me,'saying , When will he die, and his name perish?

And when one comes to see me, he speaks empty words,
While his heart gathers malicious gossip [against me];
When he goes away, he tells it [everywhere].

All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.

A thing of Belial cleaveth fast unto him; and now that he is laid down, he will rise up no more.

But You, Lord, be gracious to me and raise me up;
then I will repay them.

In this way I will know that you are pleased with me, and that my enemies will not shout in triumph over me.

As for me, you will maintain my just cause, and you will cause me to stand in your presence forever.

For the music director; a well-written song by the Korahites. As a deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God!

I thirst for God, for the living God. I say, "When will I be able to go and appear in God's presence?"

My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?

These things I will recall as I pour out my troubles within me: I used to go with the crowd in a procession to the house of God, accompanied with shouts of joy and thanksgiving.

Why are you {in despair}, O my soul, and disturbed within me? Hope in God, because I will again praise him, [for] the salvation of his presence.

O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar.

Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.

Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.

I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God?

Why am I so depressed?
Why this turmoil within me?
Put your hope in God, for I will still praise Him,
my Savior and my God.

For thou art the God of my strength; why hast thou put me from thee? And why go I so heavily, while the enemy oppresseth me?

Reveal your light and your faithfulness! They will lead me, they will escort me back to your holy hill, and to the place where you live.

Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God.

Why are you {in despair}, O my soul? And why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God, because I will again praise him, {my salvation} and my God.

For the music director; by the Korahites, a well-written song. O God, we have clearly heard; our ancestors have told us what you did in their days, in ancient times.

Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.

For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.

In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah.

Thou sufferest us to turn back from the adversary, And, they who hate us, have plundered at will:

All the day long is my dishonor before me, And the shame of my face hath covered me,

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

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

Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.

Overflowed hath my heart, with an excellent theme, I will recite my poem concerning the king, Be, my tongue, like the pen of a scribe who is skilled.

You are the most handsome of all men! You speak in an impressive and fitting manner! For this reason God grants you continual blessings.

And go nobly on in your power, because you are good and true and without pride; and your right hand will be teaching you things of fear.

Your arrows are sharpened to penetrate the hearts of the king's enemies. People will fall under you.

Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.

So will the king desire thy beauty; For he is thy lord; and reverence thou him.

Even the daughter of Tyre [will come] with a gift. [The] rich from among people will seek your {favor}.

The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.

She will come before the king in robes of needlework; the virgins in her train will come before you.

With gladness and rejoicing will they be led;
They will enter into the King’s palace.

Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth.

I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever.

God is our refuge and strength [mighty and impenetrable],
A very present and well-proved help in trouble.

Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;

Its waters will roar, they will foam; the mountains will tremble in its pride. Silence.

A river, its streams will gladden the city of God, the holy place of the tents of the Most High.

God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God will help her, and that right early.

Nations raged, kingdoms were moved: he gave with his voice, the earth will melt

He puts an end to wars over all the earth; by him the bow is broken, and the spear cut in two, and the carriage burned in the fire.

Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

{To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.} O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.

For the LORD most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth.

He will put down the peoples under us, and the nations under our feet.

He will give us our heritage, the glory of Jacob who is dear to him. (Selah.)

For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding.

Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.

God is well known in her palaces, that he is the defense of the same.

As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. Selah.

Mount Zion will be glad; the towns of Judah will rejoice because of your judgments.

Walk around Zion, and go all around it; count the towers of it,

Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following.

For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto 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:

Pay attention, all you people, both rich and poor!

My mouth will speak wisdom, and the meditation of my heart [will be] understanding.

I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.

Why should I fear in the days of evil, when the perversity of my ambushers will surround me?

They trusting upon their wealth, and they will glory in the multitude of their riches.

A brother doth no one at all ransom, He doth not give to God his atonement.

That he should still live alway, That he should not see corruption.

For he seeth that wise men die; all alike, the fool and the brutish perish, and they leave their wealth to others.

Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names.

But man, with all his [self] honor and pomp, will not endure;
He is like the beasts that perish.

This their way folly to them: and those after them will delight in their mouth. Silence.

Like sheep they are destined to Sheol; death will shepherd them. But the upright will rule over them in the morning, and their forms [will be for] Sheol to consume, [far from] his lofty abode.

But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah.

For when he dies he will carry nothing away;
His glory will not descend after him.

Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.

He shall go to the generation of his fathers;
They shall never again see the light.

Humanity, despite its conceit, does not understand that it will perish, just like the animals. A song of Asaph.

El, Elohim, Yahweh, hath spoken, and culled the earth, From the rising of the sun, unto the going in thereof:

From Zion, the most beautiful of all places, God comes in splendor.

Our God will come, and will not keep silence: fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.

He will call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people:
