{A Psalm of David.} Unto thee, Jehovah, do I lift up my soul.

My God, I confide in thee; let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.

Yea, none that wait on thee shall be ashamed: they shall be ashamed that deal treacherously without cause.

Make me to walk in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

Keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I trust in thee.

Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.

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

{A Psalm of David.} Unto thee, Jehovah, do I call; my rock, be not silent unto me, lest, if thou keep silence toward me, I become like them that go down into the pit.

Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward the oracle of thy holiness.

{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.

Jehovah my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

I called to thee, Jehovah, and unto the Lord did I make supplication:

What profit is there in my blood, in my going down to the pit? shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

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

{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} In thee, Jehovah, do I trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.

But I confided in thee, Jehovah; I said, thou art my God.

Jehovah, let me not be ashamed; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, let them be silent in Sheol.

Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee, which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee, before the sons of men!

As for me, I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes; nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.

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.

Let thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, according as we have hoped in thee.

All my bones shall say, Jehovah, who is like unto thee, who deliverest the afflicted from one stronger than he, yea, the afflicted and the needy from him that spoileth him!

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

For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.

Continue thy loving-kindness unto them that know thee, and thy righteousness to the upright in heart;

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

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.

Lord, all my desire is before thee, and my sighing is not hid from thee.

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

Behold, thou hast made my days as hand-breadths, and my lifetime is as nothing before thee; verily, every man, even the high placed, is altogether vanity. Selah.

And now, what wait I for, Lord? my hope is in thee.

Hear my prayer, Jehovah, and give ear unto my cry; be not silent at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, a sojourner, like all my fathers.

Thou, O Jehovah my God, hast multiplied thy marvellous works, and thy thoughts toward us: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee; would I declare and speak them, they are more than can be numbered.

Let all those that seek thee be glad and rejoice in thee; let such as love thy salvation say continually, Jehovah be magnified!

As for me, I said, Jehovah, be gracious unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

{To the chief Musician. An instruction; of the sons of Korah.} As the hart panteth after the water-brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.

My God, my soul is cast down within me; therefore do I remember thee from the land of the Jordan, and the Hermons, from mount Mizar.

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.

All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely against thy covenant:

Thou art fairer than the sons of men; grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

And in thy splendour ride prosperously, because of truth and meekness and righteousness: and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.

Thine arrows are sharp peoples fall under thee in the heart of the king's enemies.

Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness; therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy companions.

Myrrh and aloes, cassia, are all thy garments; out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee glad.

She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of embroidery; the virgins behind her, her companions, shall be brought in unto thee:

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

Though he blessed his soul in his lifetime, and men will praise thee when thou doest well to thyself, --

Hear, my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify unto thee: I am God, thy God.

I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices, or thy burnt-offerings, continually before me;

If I were hungry, I would not tell thee; for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.

And call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

Seeing thou hast hated correction and hast cast my words behind thee?

These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.

Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done what is evil in thy sight; that thou mayest be justified when thou speakest, be clear when thou judgest.

I will teach transgressors thy ways, and sinners shall return unto thee.

God shall likewise destroy thee for ever; he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of thy tent, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah.

I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it; and I will wait on thy name, before thy godly ones, for it is good.

There were they in great fear, where no fear was; for God scattereth the bones of him that encampeth against thee. Thou hast put them to shame, for God hath despised them.

I will freely sacrifice unto thee; I will praise thy name, O Jehovah, because it is good.

Cast thy burden upon Jehovah, and he will sustain thee: he will never suffer the righteous to be moved.

And thou, O God, wilt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days. But as for me, I will confide in thee.

In the day that I am afraid, I will confide in thee.

Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render thanks unto thee.

{To the chief Musician. 'Destroy not.' Of David. Michtam; when he fled from Saul in the cave.} Be gracious unto me, O God, be gracious unto me; for my soul taketh refuge in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings do I take refuge, until the calamities be overpast.

I will give thee thanks among the peoples, O Lord; of thee will I sing psalms among the nations:

Their strength! ... I will take heed to thee; for God is my high fortress.

Unto thee, my strength, will I sing psalms; for God is my high fortress, the God of my mercy.

Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth, (Selah,)

From the end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my eart is overwhelmed: thou wilt lead me on to a rock which is too high for me.

And unto thee, O Lord, belongeth loving-kindness; for thou renderest to every man according to his work.

{A Psalm of David; when he was in the wilderness of Judah.} O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee. My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh languisheth for thee, in a dry and weary land without water:

To see thy power and thy glory, as I have beheld thee in the sanctuary;

For thy loving-kindness is better than life: my lips shall praise thee.

So will I bless thee while I live; I will lift up my hands in thy name.

My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips.

When I remember thee upon my bed, I meditate on thee in the night-watches:

My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.

{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David: a Song.} Praise waiteth for thee in silence, O God, in Zion; and unto thee shall the vow be performed.

O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.

Say unto God, How terrible are thy works! because of the greatness of thy strength, thine enemies come cringing unto thee.

All the earth shall worship thee, and sing psalms unto thee: they shall sing forth thy name. Selah.

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

I will offer up unto thee burnt-offerings of fatted beasts, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.

Let the peoples praise thee, O God, let all the peoples praise thee.

Let the peoples praise thee, O God; let all the peoples praise thee.

Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee.

Thou, O God, knowest my foolishness, and my trespasses are not hidden from thee.

Let not them that wait on thee, Lord, Jehovah of hosts, be ashamed through me; let not those that seek thee be confounded through me, O God of Israel.

For the zeal of thy house hath devoured me, and the reproaches of them that reproach thee have fallen upon me.

But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, Jehovah, in an acceptable time: O God, in the abundance of thy loving-kindness answer me, according to the truth of thy salvation:

Thou knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.

Let all those that seek thee be glad and rejoice in thee, and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified!

In thee, Jehovah, do I trust: let me never be ashamed.

On thee have I been stayed from the womb; from the bowels of my mother thou didst draw me forth: my praise shall be continually of thee.

But as for me, I will hope continually, and will praise thee yet more and more.

And thy righteousness, O God, reacheth on high, thou who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee?
