I will also praise you with the psaltery, even your truth, O my God: unto you will I sing with the harp, O you Holy One of Israel.

If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I would have been untrue to the generation of your children.

When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.

But I will declare this forever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

All the strength of the wicked also will I cut off; but the strength of the righteous shall be exalted.

Will the Lord cast off forever? and will he be favorable no more?

And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High.

I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember your wonders of old.

I will meditate also on all your work, and talk of your doings.

I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:

We will not hide them from their children, showing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he has done.

How long, LORD? will you be angry forever? shall your jealousy burn like fire?

So we your people and sheep of your pasture will give you thanks forever: we will show forth your praise to all generations.

O LORD God of hosts, how long will you be angry against the prayer of your people?

The boar out of the wood does waste it, and the wild beast of the field does devour it.

Then will we not go back from you: revive us, and we will call upon your name.

Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto you: O Israel, if you will hearken unto me;

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

How long will you judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.

They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

Blessed are they that dwell in your house: they will be still praising you. Selah.

For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

Will you be angry with us forever? will you draw out your anger to all generations?

Will you not revive us again: that your people may rejoice in you?

I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.

In the day of my trouble I will call upon you: for you will answer me.

Teach me your way, O LORD; I will walk in your truth: unite my heart to fear your name.

I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify your name forevermore.

I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there.

Will you show wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise you? Selah.

[A maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite.] I will sing of the mercies of the LORD forever: with my mouth will I make known your faithfulness to all generations.

Your seed will I establish forever, and build up your throne to all generations. Selah.

And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.

I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.

Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.

My mercy will I keep for him forevermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.

His descendants also will I make to endure forever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.

Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor allow my faithfulness to fail.

My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.

How long, LORD? will you hide yourself forever? shall your anger burn like fire?

I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

Because he has set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he has known my name.

He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honor him.

With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation.

For you, LORD, have made me glad through your work: I will triumph in the works of your hands.

But my horn shall you exalt like the horn of a wild ox: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.

Understand, you senseless among the people: and you fools, when will you be wise?

For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.

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

For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. Today if you will hear his voice,

I will sing of mercy and justice: unto you, O LORD, will I sing.

I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when will you come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.

I will set no wicked thing before my eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.

A perverse heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.

Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, him will I cut off: he that has a haughty look and a proud heart will I not endure.

I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.

He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.

He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger forever.

They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild donkeys quench their thirst.

The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the badgers.

I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.

My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.

Saying, Unto you will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:

Whoever is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.

[A song. A Psalm of David.] O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.

Awake, harp and lyre: I myself will awake early.

I will praise you, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto you among the nations.

God has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide up Shechem, and portion out the valley of Succoth.

Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.

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?

I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.

The LORD has sworn, and will not relent, You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

Praise you the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.

He has given food unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.

A good man shows favor, and lends: he will guide his affairs with discretion.

The LORD has been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.

He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.

But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and forevermore. Praise the LORD.

Because he has inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.

I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.

I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.

I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.

I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.

I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people,

The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?

All nations encompassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them.

They encompassed me about; yea, they encompassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.

They encompassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.

Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD:

I will praise you: for you have heard me, and have become my salvation.

This is the day which the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

You are my God, and I will praise you: you are my God, I will exalt you.

I will praise you with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned your righteous judgments.

I will keep your statutes: O forsake me not utterly.

I will meditate in your precepts, and have respect unto your ways.

I will delight myself in your statutes: I will not forget your word.

I will run the way of your commandments, when you shall enlarge my heart.
