For thou hast been, A Refuge to me, A Tower of Strength, from the face of the foe.

I sojourn in Thy tent to the ages, I trust in the secret place of Thy wings. Selah.

For Thou, O God, hast hearkened to my vows, Thou hast appointed the inheritance Of those fearing Thy name.

Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: his years shall be as many generations.

He dwelleth to the age before God, Kindness and truth appoint -- they keep him.

So will I sing forth thy name for ever, performing my vows from day to day.

{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 assail a man; will ye seek, all of you, to break him down as a bowing wall or a tottering fence?

They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.

For God alone my soul waits in silence and quietly submits to Him,
For my hope is from Him.

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.

Do not trust in oppression,
And do not vainly hope in robbery;
If riches increase, do not set your heart on them.

God has spoken once,
Twice I have heard this:
That power belongs to God.

Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.

A Psalm of David, in his being in the wilderness of Judah. O God, Thou art my God, earnestly do I seek Thee, Thirsted for Thee hath my soul, Longed for Thee hath my flesh, In a land dry and weary, without waters.

To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.

Because better is Thy kindness than life, My lips do praise Thee.

Should I call thee to mind upon my conch, In the watches of the night, would I breathe soft speech of thee.

For Thou hast been a help to me, And in the shadow of Thy wings I sing.

My soul [my life, my very self] clings to You;
Your right hand upholds me.

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

They shall be given over to the power of the sword: They shall be a portion for foxes.

But the king will rejoice in God;
Everyone who swears by Him [honoring the true God, acknowledging His authority and majesty] will glory,
For the mouths of those who speak lies will 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 plots of evildoers, from [the] unrest of [those who] do iniquity,

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

That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

They encourage themselves in an evil matter, they concert to hide snares; they say, Who will see them?

So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.

And in fear men make public the works of God; and giving thought to his acts they get wisdom.

The righteous doth rejoice in Jehovah, And hath trusted in Him, And boast themselves do all the upright of heart!

Iniquitous things, have been too strong for me, As for our transgressions, wilt, thou, by propitiation remove them.

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

By awesome and wondrous things You answer us in righteousness, O God of our salvation,
You who are the trust and hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest sea;

Who makes the loud voice of the sea quiet, and puts an end to the sound of its waves.

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

You have given your blessing to the earth, watering it and making it fertile; the river of God is full of water: and having made it ready, you give men grain.

Thou givest its furrows to drink to the full: thou wilt cause its incisions to flow down in showers: thou wilt bless its springing up.

Drop do the pastures of a wilderness, And joy of the heights Thou girdest on.

The meadows are clothed with flocks of sheep, and the valleys are covered with grain. They shout for joy; yes, they burst out in song! To the Director: A song. A Psalm.

{To the chief Musician, A Song or Psalm.} Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:

Sing to the glory of his name! Offer glory and praise!

Say to God, 'How fearful are Thy works, By the abundance of Thy strength, Thine enemies feign obedience to Thee.

All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah.

Come and see the works of God,
He is awesome in His deeds toward the children of men.

He hath turned a sea to dry land, Through a river they pass over on foot, There do we rejoice in Him.

Ruling by His might to the age, His eyes among the nations do watch, The refractory exalt not themselves. Selah.

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

Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.

For you, O God, have put us to the test: testing us by fire like silver.

You led us into a trap; you caused us to suffer.

Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.

I will go into thy house with burnt-offerings; I will perform my vows to thee,

Which my lips opened and my month spake in straits to me.

'Burnt-offerings of fatlings I offer to Thee, With perfume of rams, I prepare a bullock with he-goats.' Selah.

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.

I cried aloud to Him;
He was highly praised with my tongue.

If I cherished sin in my heart, the Lord wouldn't have listened.

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

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

{To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm or Song.} God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah.

To know thy way in the earth, thy salvation among all the nations.

Praise Thee do peoples, O God, Praise Thee do peoples, all of them.

Rejoice and sing do nations, For Thou judgest peoples uprightly, And peoples on earth comfortest. Selah.

Confess Thee do peoples, O God, Confess Thee do peoples -- all of them.

May God truly bless us so that all the nations of the earth will fear him. To the Director of music: A Psalm. A song.

{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.

Let them be like smoke before the driving wind; as wax turning soft before the fire, so let them come to an end before the power of God.

Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.

A father to orphans and a judge for widows [is] God in his holy habitation.

God -- causing the lonely to dwell at home, Bringing out bound ones into prosperity, Only -- the refractory have inhabited a dry place.

You caused abundant rain to fall, O God. When your inheritance was weary you revived it.

Jehovah will give the word: to those announcing good news a great army.

Though ye do lie between two boundaries, Wings of a dove covered with silver, And her pinions with yellow gold.

When the Most High put the kings to flight, it was as white as snow in Salmon.

Why leap ye, ye high hills? this is the hill which God desireth to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell in it for ever.

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

You ascended to the heights, taking away captives;
You received gifts from people,
even from the rebellious,
so that the Lord God might live there.

Blessed be the Lord: day by day doth he load us with good, the God who is our salvation. Selah.

God Himself is to us a God for deliverances, And Jehovah Lord hath the outgoings of death.

so that your foot may shatter [them] bloody [for] the tongues of your dogs [to have] their share from [the] enemies."

Your God has commanded your strength [your power in His service and your resistance to temptation];
Show Yourself strong, O God, who acted on our behalf.

Kingdoms of the earth, sing ye to God, Praise ye 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.

Ascribe ye strength to God, Over Israel is His excellency, and His strength in the clouds.

Fearful, O God, out of Thy sanctuaries, The God of Israel Himself, Giving strength and might to the people. Blessed is God!

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

I sink in [the] mud of the deep, and there is no foothold. I have come to watery depths, and [the] torrent floods over me.

They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head: They that would cut me off, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: That which I took not away I have to restore.

God, you know my foolishness. My sins aren't hidden from you.

Let not them that wait for thee be put to shame through me, O Lord Jehovah of hosts: Let not those that seek thee be brought to dishonor through me, O God of Israel.

A stranger I have been to my brother, And a foreigner to sons of my mother.

When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.

I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them.
