Let those who are on my side give cries of joy; let them ever say, The Lord be praised, for he has pleasure in the peace of his servant.

In the words of his mouth are evil and deceit; he has given up being wise and doing good.

The sinner has evil designs against the upright, lifting up the voice of wrath against him.

The little which the good man has is better than the wealth of evil-doers.

The sinner takes money and does not give it back; but the upright man has mercy, and gives to others.

Even if he has a fall he will not be without help: for the hand of the Lord is supporting him.

Truly, every man goes on his way like an image; he is troubled for no purpose: he makes a great store of wealth, and has no knowledge of who will get it.

Happy is the man who has faith in the Lord, and does not give honour to the men of pride or to those who are turned away to deceit.

Your righteousness has not been folded away in my heart; I have made clear your true word and your salvation; I have not kept secret your mercy or your faith from the great meeting.

Though I am poor and in need, the Lord has me in mind; you are my help and my saviour; let there be no waiting, O my God.

They say, He has an evil disease, which will not let him go: and now that he is down he will not get up again.

It has come to our ears, O God, our fathers have given us the story, of the works which you did in their days, in the old times,

All this has come on us, but still we have kept you in our memory; and we have not been false to your word.

If the name of our God has gone out of our minds, or if our hands have been stretched out to a strange god,

You have been a lover of righteousness and a hater of evil: and so God, your God, has put the oil of joy on your head, lifting you high over all other kings.

Your robes are full of the smell of all sorts of perfumes and spices; music from the king's ivory houses has made you glad.

God has taken his place in her; she will not be moved: he will come to her help at the dawn of morning.

Come, see the works of the Lord, the destruction which he has made in the earth.

God has gone up with a glad cry, the Lord with the sound of the horn.

The God of gods, even the Lord, has sent out his voice, and the earth is full of fear; from the coming up of the sun to its going down.

The foolish man has said in his heart, God will not do anything. They are unclean, they have done evil works; there is not one who does good.

Every one of them has gone back; they are unclean: there is not one who does good, no, not one.

They were in great fear, where there was no cause for fear: for the bones of those who make war on you have been broken by God; you have put them to shame, because God has no desire for them.

Because it has been my saviour from all my trouble; and my eyes have seen the punishment of my haters.

My heart is deeply wounded, and the fear of death has come on me.

He has taken my soul away from the attack which was made against me, and given it peace; for great numbers were against me.

He has put out his hand against those who were at peace with him; he has not kept his agreement.

God has said in his holy place, I will be glad: I will make a division of Shechem, and the valley of Succoth will be measured out.

Once has God said, twice has it come to my ears, that power is God's:

Because he gives us life, and has not let our feet be moved.

Come, give ear to me, all you God-fearing men, so that I may make clear to you what he has done for my soul.

But truly God's ear has been open; he has give attention to the voice of my prayer.

Praise be to God who has not taken away his good faith and his mercy from me.

The earth has given her increase; and God, even our God, will give us his blessing.

The war-carriage of God is among Israel's thousands; the Lord has come from Sinai to the holy place.

You have gone up on high, taking your prisoners with you; you have taken offerings from men; the Lord God has taken his place on the seat of his power.

I have been wounded with sharp words because of you; my face has been covered with shame.

I will give praise to the name of God with a song; I will give glory to him for what he has done.

Saying, God has given him up; go after him and take him, for he has no helper.

Keep in mind your band of worshippers, for whom you gave payment in the days which are past, whom you took for yourself as the people of your heritage; even this mountain of Zion, which has been your resting-place.

Keep this in mind, O Lord, that your haters have said cruel things, and that your name has been looked down on by a people of evil behaviour.

When the right time has come, I will be the judge in righteousness.

Gone is the wealth of the strong, their last sleep has overcome them; the men of war have become feeble.

At the voice of your wrath, O God of Jacob, deep sleep has overcome carriage and horse.

Is his mercy quite gone for ever? has his word come to nothing?

Has God put away the memory of his pity? are his mercies shut up by his wrath? (Selah.)

We will not keep them secret from our children; we will make clear to the coming generation the praises of the Lord and his strength, and the great works of wonder which he has done.

But he, being full of pity, has forgiveness for sin, and does not put an end to man: frequently turning back his wrath, and not being violently angry.

The Lord has more love for the doors of Zion than for all the tents of Jacob.

For my soul is full of evils, and my life has come near to the underworld.

My eyes are wasting away because of my trouble: Lord, my cry has gone up to you every day, my hands are stretched out to you.

The heat of your wrath has gone over me; I am broken by your cruel punishments.

You have made your agreement with your servant of no effect: you have had no respect for his crown, it has come down even to the earth.

You have put an end to his glory: the seat of his kingdom has been levelled to the earth.

Because he has given me his love, I will take him out of danger: I will put him in a place of honour, because he has kept my name in his heart.

The seat of your power has been from the past; you are eternal.

Has he by whom your ears were planted no hearing? or is he blind by whom your eyes were formed?

The Lord has knowledge of the thoughts of man, for they are only a breath.

What part with you has the seat of sin, which makes evil into a law?

And he has made their evil designs come back on themselves, cutting them off in their sin; the Lord our God will put an end to them.

O make a new song to the Lord, because he has done works of wonder; with his right hand, and with his holy arm, he has overcome.

He has forgiveness for all your sins; he takes away all your diseases;

He has not given us the punishment for our sins, or the reward of our wrongdoing.

As far as the east is from the west, so far has he put our sins from us.

As a father has pity on his children, so the Lord has pity on his worshippers.

For he has knowledge of our feeble frame; he sees that we are only dust.

The Lord has made ready his high seat in the heavens; his kingdom is ruling over all.

He has made the earth strong on its bases, so that it may not be moved for ever and ever;

Keep in mind the great works which he has done; his wonders, and the decisions of his mouth;

He has kept his agreement in mind for ever, the word which he gave for a thousand generations;

Let those whose cause the Lord has taken up say so, his people whom he has taken out of the hands of their haters;

For the mouth of the sinner is open against me in deceit: his tongue has said false things against me.

He put on cursing like a robe, and it has come into his body like water, and into his bones like oil.

He has given food to his worshippers; he will keep his agreement in mind for ever.

He has made clear to his people the power of his works, giving them the heritage of the nations.

He has sent salvation to his people; he has given his word for ever: holy is his name and greatly to be feared.

Let the Lord be praised. Happy is the man who gives honour to the Lord, and has great delight in his laws.

He has given with open hands to the poor; his righteousness is for ever; his horn will be lifted up with honour.

But our God is in heaven: he has done whatever was pleasing to him.

The Lord has kept us in mind and will give us his blessing; he will send blessings on the house of Israel and on the house of Aaron.

The heavens are the Lord's; but the earth he has given to the children of men.

I have given my love to the Lord, because he has given ear to the voice of my cry and my prayer.

He has let my request come before him, and I will make my prayer to him all my days.

Come back to your rest, O my soul; for the Lord has given you your reward.

What may I give to the Lord for all the good things which he has done for me?

The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.

The hand of Jah has been hard on me; but he has not given me up to death.

The stone which the builders put on one side has become the chief stone of the building.

This is the day which the Lord has made; we will be full of joy and delight in it.

The Lord is God, and he has given us light; let the holy dance be ordered with branches, even up to the horns of the altar.

Your hand has been against the men of pride, a curse is on those who go wandering out of your way.

So that my way may be in a wide place: because my search has been for your orders.

Keep in mind your word to your servant, for on it has my hope been fixed.

This has been true of me, that I have kept your orders in my heart.

Your worshippers will see me and be glad; because my hope has been in your word.

I am yours, O be my saviour; for my desire has been for your rules.

Your teaching has made me wiser than my haters: for it is mine for ever.

My heart has not been turned away from your decisions; for you have been my teacher.

My passion has overcome me; because my haters are turned away from your words.

My cry has gone up to you; take me out of trouble, and I will be guided by your unchanging word.
