I will sing praises to the Lord when he vindicates me.

{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.} The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Jehovah from the heavens Hath looked on the sons of men, To see if there is a wise one -- seeking God.

They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Have all the workers of wickedness and injustice no knowledge,
Who eat up my people as they eat bread,
And do not call upon the Lord?

There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.

As for you, ye have made a mock at the counsel of the poor, because he putteth his trust in the LORD.

Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

{A Psalm of David.} LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?

He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.

Hath not carried slander on his tongue, hath not done his friend a wrong, nor, a reproach, taken up against his neighbour;

In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.

His silver he hath not given in usury, And a bribe against the innocent Hath not taken; Whoso is doing these is not moved to the age!

{Michtam of David.} Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.

Thou hast said to Jehovah, 'My Lord Thou art;' My good is not for thine own sake;

But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.

Multiplied are their griefs, Who have hastened backward; I pour not out their libations of blood, Nor do I take up their names on my lips.

The Lord is my heritage and the wine of my cup; you are the supporter of my right.

The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.

I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.

I keep the Lord in mind always.
Because He is at my right hand,
I will not be shaken.

Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.

For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

Hear, O Yahweh, the right, Attend to my loud cry, Give ear unto my prayer, on lips that would not deceive:

Let my sentence come forth from your presence. Let your eyes look on equity.

Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.

As for the workings of men, By the word of thy lips, have, I, taken heed of the paths of the violent one.

Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.

As for me, I have called on you because you will answer me, O God. Incline your ear to me. Hear my words.

Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them.

Keep me as the apple, the daughter of the eye; In shadow of Thy wings thou dost hide me.

From the face of the wicked who spoiled me. Mine enemies in soul go round against me.

They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.

They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;

Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.

Rise, Yahweh! Confront his face, Bring him down, Deliver my soul from the lawless one who is thy sword:

From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.

As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.

{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD, who spake unto the LORD the words of this song in 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 thee, 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 buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

The 'Praised One' I call Jehovah, And from my enemies I am saved.

The cords of death were round me, and the seas of evil put me in fear.

The cords of Sheol were around me. The snares of death came on me.

In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.

Then trouble and shock came on the earth; and the bases of the mountains were moved and shaking, because he was angry.

There went up smoke in his nostrils, and, a fire out of his mouth, devoured, Live coals, were kindled from it:

And He rideth on a cherub, and doth fly, And He flieth on wings of wind.

He shrouded himself in darkness, in thick rain clouds.

From the brightness over-against Him His thick clouds have passed on, Hail and coals of fire.

The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.

He sent out his arrows, driving them in all directions; by his flames of fire they were troubled.

He sent from on high, he took me; He drew me out of many waters.

He rescued me from my foe, in his might, and from them who hated me, because they were too strong for me:

They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.

He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

For I have kept the ways of the Lord; I have not been turned away in sin from my God.

Indeed, I have kept all His ordinances in mind
and have not disregarded His statutes.

I was blameless before Him,
And I kept myself free from my sin.

Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.

With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;

You prove to be reliable to one who is blameless, but you prove to be deceptive to one who is perverse.

For You save an afflicted and humble people,
But bring down those [arrogant fools] with haughty eyes.

By your help I have made a way through the wall which was shutting me in; by the help of my God I have gone over a wall.

As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.

God puts a strong band about me, guiding me in a straight way.

Making my feet like hinds, And on my high places causeth me to stand.

He makes my hands expert in war, so that a bow of brass is bent by my arms.

Thou hast given me the defense of thy salvation; thy right hand also shall hold me up, and thy loving correction shall make me great. {TYNDALE: And thou hast saved me with thy shield, and keptest me ever in meekness.}

You make a broad place for my steps, so my feet won't slip.

Thou wilt gird one with strength for war: thou wilt bend under me those rising up against me.

By you their backs are turned in flight, so that my haters are cut off.

They cry, and there is no saviour, On Jehovah, and He doth not answer them.

Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.

From the time when my name comes to their ears they will be ruled by me: men of other countries will, with false hearts, put themselves under my authority.

The strange children shall fail, and be afraid out of their prisons. {TYNDALE: And the aliens that shrink away shall tremble for fear in their defended places.}

It is God who sends punishment on my haters, and puts peoples under my rule.

Who hath delivered me from my foes, - Yea, from mine assailants, hast thou set me on high, From the man of violence, hast thou rescued me.

For this I will praise thee among the nations, O Jehovah, and I will play on the harp to thy name.

the one who makes great victories for his king, and [who] shows loyal love for his anointed, to David and to his descendants forever.

One day telleth another, and one night certifieth another.

There is no speech nor language {in which (LXX)} their voice is not heard.

Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,

And he, as a bridegroom, goeth out from his covering, He rejoiceth as a mighty one To run the path.

The sun’s rising is from one end of the heavens,
And its circuit to the other end of them;
And there is nothing hidden from its heat.

The law of the Lord is perfect and preserves one's life. The rules set down by the Lord are reliable and impart wisdom to the inexperienced.

The Lord's precepts are fair and make one joyful. The Lord's commands are pure and give insight for life.

more desirable than gold, even much fine gold; and sweeter than honey, even honey [in the] comb.

Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.

Who can detect his own mistake? Cleanse me from hidden sin.

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.} The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;

May he keep all your offerings in mind, and be pleased with the fat of your burned offerings; (Selah.)

Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.

We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfil all thy petitions.

Now am I certain that the Lord gives salvation to his king; he will give him an answer from his holy heaven with the strength of salvation in his right hand.

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.

Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.

{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.} The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!

For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head.
