I will declare the decree: Jehovah hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; I this day have begotten thee.

Ask of me, and I will give thee nations for an inheritance, and for thy possession the ends of the earth:

With my voice will I call to Jehovah, and he will answer me from the hill of his holiness. Selah.

I will not fear for myriads of the people that have set themselves against me round about.

Ye sons of men, till when is my glory to be put to shame? How long will ye love vanity, will ye seek after a lie? Selah.

But know that Jehovah hath set apart the pious man for himself: Jehovah will hear when I call unto him.

In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; for thou, Jehovah, alone makest me to dwell in safety.

Hearken unto the voice of my crying, my king and my God; for to thee will I pray.

Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; in the morning will I address myself to thee, and will look up.

Thou wilt destroy them that speak lies: Jehovah abhorreth a man of blood and deceit.

But as for me, in the greatness of thy loving-kindness will I enter thy house; I will bow down toward the temple of thy holiness in thy fear.

And all that trust in thee shall rejoice: for ever shall they shout joyously, and thou wilt protect them; and they that love thy name shall exult in thee.

For thou, Jehovah, wilt bless the righteous man; with favour wilt thou surround him as with a shield.

All mine enemies shall be ashamed and tremble exceedingly; they will turn, they will be ashamed suddenly.

If one turn not, he will sharpen his sword; he hath bent his bow and made it ready,

I will praise Jehovah according to his righteousness, and will sing forth the name of Jehovah the Most High.

{To the chief Musician. Upon Muthlabben. A Psalm of David.} I will praise Jehovah with my whole heart; I will recount all thy marvellous works.

I will be glad and rejoice in thee; I will sing forth thy name, O Most High.

And it is he that will judge the world with righteousness; he shall execute judgment upon the peoples with equity.

And Jehovah will be a refuge to the oppressed one, a refuge in times of distress.

And they that know thy name will confide in thee; for thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

That I may declare all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion. I will be joyful in thy salvation.

He saith in his heart, God hath forgotten, he hideth his face, he will never see it.

Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? He hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.

Jehovah will cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that speaketh proud things,

Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail, our lips are our own: who is lord over us?

Because of the oppression of the afflicted, because of the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith Jehovah, I will set him in safety, at whom they puff.

Thou, Jehovah, wilt keep them, thou wilt preserve them from this generation for ever.

{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} How long, Jehovah, wilt thou forget me for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

I will sing unto Jehovah, for he hath dealt bountifully with me.

Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another: their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, and I will not take up their names into my lips.

I will bless Jehovah, who giveth me counsel; even in the nights my reins instruct me.

For thou wilt not leave my soul to Sheol, neither wilt thou allow thy Holy One to see corruption.

Thou wilt make known to me the path of life: thy countenance is fulness of joy; at thy right hand are pleasures for evermore.

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 Jehovah, who spoke to Jehovah the words of this song in the day that Jehovah had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies and out of the hand of Saul. And he said,} I will love thee, O Jehovah, my strength.

Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I will trust; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.

I will call upon Jehovah, who is to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

For it is thou that savest the afflicted people; but the haughty eyes wilt thou bring down.

Therefore will I give thanks to thee, Jehovah, among the nations, and will sing psalms to thy name.

We will triumph in thy salvation, and in the name of our God will we set up our banners. Jehovah fulfil all thy petitions!

For thou wilt make them turn their back; thou wilt make ready thy bowstring against their face.

Be thou exalted, Jehovah, in thine own strength: we will sing and celebrate thy power.

I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.

My praise is from thee, in the great congregation; I will pay my vows before them that fear him.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.

Surely, goodness and loving-kindness shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of Jehovah for the length of the days.

Good and upright is Jehovah; therefore will he instruct sinners in the way:

The meek will he guide in judgment, and the meek will he teach his way.

For thy name's sake, O Jehovah, thou wilt indeed pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.

What man is he that feareth Jehovah? him will he instruct in the way that he should choose.

Mine eyes are ever toward Jehovah; for he will bring my feet out of the net.

I will wash my hands in innocency, and will encompass thine altar, O Jehovah,

But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity. Redeem me, and be gracious unto me.

My foot standeth in an even place; in the congregations will I bless Jehovah.

If a host encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; if war rise against me, in this will I be confident.

One thing have I asked of Jehovah, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of Jehovah, and to inquire of him in his temple.

For in the day of evil he will hide me in his pavilion; in the secret of his tent will he keep me concealed: he will set me high upon a rock.

And now shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me; and I will offer in his tent sacrifices of shouts of joy: I will sing, yea, I will sing psalms unto Jehovah.

My heart said for thee, Seek ye my face. Thy face, O Jehovah, will I seek.

Deliver me not over to the will of mine adversaries; for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out violence.

For they regard not the deeds of Jehovah, nor the work of his hands: he will destroy them, and not build them up.

Jehovah is my strength and my shield; my heart confided in him, and I was helped: therefore my heart exulteth, and with my song will I praise him.

Jehovah will give strength unto his people; Jehovah will bless his people with peace.

{A Psalm of David: dedication-song of the house.} I will extol thee, Jehovah; for thou hast delivered me, and hast not made mine enemies to rejoice over me.

That my glory may sing psalms of thee, and not be silent. Jehovah my God, I will praise thee for ever.

For thou art my rock and my fortress; and, for thy name's sake, thou wilt lead me and guide me.

I will be glad and rejoice in thy loving-kindness, for thou hast seen mine affliction; thou hast known the troubles of my soul,

I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity I covered not; I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah, and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee at a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they will not reach him.

I will instruct thee and teach thee the way in which thou shalt go; I will counsel thee with mine eye upon thee.

Be ye not as a horse, as a mule, which have no understanding: whose trappings must be bit and bridle, for restraint, or they will not come unto thee.

{A Psalm of David; when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.} I will bless Jehovah at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

Come, ye sons, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of Jehovah.

Lord, how long wilt thou look on? Rescue my soul from their destructions, my only one from the young lions.

I will give thee thanks in the great congregation; I will praise thee among much people.

They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou wilt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.

and delight thyself in Jehovah, and he will give thee the desires of thy heart.

Commit thy way unto Jehovah, and rely upon him: he will bring it to pass;

and he will bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.

for Jehovah loveth judgment, and will not forsake his saints: They are preserved for ever; but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

Jehovah will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.

Wait for Jehovah, and keep his way, and he will exalt thee to possess the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

And Jehovah will help them and deliver them: he will deliver them from the wicked, and save them; for they trust in him.

For in thee, Jehovah, do I hope: thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.

For I will declare mine iniquity, I am grieved for my sin.

{To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.} I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a muzzle, while the wicked is before me.

{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} Blessed is he that understandeth the poor: Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil.

Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive; he shall be made happy in the land; and thou wilt not deliver him to the will of his enemies.

Jehovah will sustain him upon the bed of languishing: thou turnest all his bed in his sickness.

Mine enemies wish me evil: When will he die, and his name perish?

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

In the day-time will Jehovah command his loving-kindness, and in the night his song shall be with me, a 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?

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

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

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

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

And the king will desire thy beauty; for he is thy Lord, and worship thou him.

I will make thy name to be remembered throughout all generations; therefore shall the peoples praise thee for ever and ever.
