To him that made great lights: for his mercy endureth for ever:

The sun to rule by day: for his mercy endureth for ever:

The moon and stars to rule by night: for his mercy endureth for ever.

To him that smote Egypt in their firstborn: for his mercy endureth for ever:

And bringing forth Israel from their midst, For to the age is His kindness.

By a strong hand, and a stretched-out-arm, For to the age is His kindness.

To him which divided the Red sea into parts: for his mercy endureth for ever:

And made Israel to pass through the midst of it: for his mercy endureth for ever:

And shook out Pharaoh and his force in the sea of Suph, For to the age is His kindness.

To him which led his people through the wilderness: for his mercy endureth for ever.

To him which smote great kings: for his mercy endureth for ever:

Yea, He doth slay honourable kings, For to the age is His kindness.

Even Sihon king of the Amorite, For to the age is His kindness.

And Og king of Bashan, For to the age is His kindness.

And He gave their land for inheritance, For to the age is His kindness.

An inheritance to Israel His servant, For to the age is His kindness.

Who in our lowliness hath remembered us, For to the age is His kindness.

And He delivereth us from our adversaries, For to the age is His kindness.

Who giveth food to all flesh: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Give ye thanks to the God of the heavens, For to the age is His kindness!

For there our captors asked us the words of a song, And our spoilers -- joy: 'Sing ye to us of a song of Zion.'

How do we sing the song of Jehovah, On the land of a stranger?

If I forget you, Jerusalem, may my right hand cease to function.

If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.

Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.

O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.

By David. I confess Thee, with all my heart, Before the gods I do praise Thee.

I bow down toward your holy temple and give thanks to your name, because of your loyal love and faithfulness, for you have magnified your word according to all your name.

In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.

All the kings of the earth will give you praise, O Lord, when the words of your mouth come to their ears.

Though the Lord is exalted,
He regards the lowly [and invites them into His fellowship];
But the proud and haughty He knows from a distance.

Though I walk straight into trouble, you preserve my life, stretching out your hand to fight the vehemence of my enemies, and your right hand delivers me.

Jehovah doth perfect for me, O Jehovah, Thy kindness is to the age, The works of Thy hands let not fall!

{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.} O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.

Thou -- Thou hast known my sitting down, And my rising up, Thou hast attended to my thoughts from afar.

You carefully observe me when I travel or when I lie down to rest; you are aware of everything I do.

For there is not a word on my tongue which is not clear to you, O Lord.

You encircle me from back to front, placing your hand upon me.

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.

Whither do I go from Thy Spirit? And whither from Thy face do I flee?

If I ascend to heaven, there you [are], and if I make my bed [in] Sheol, look! [There] you [are].

If I take the wings of the morning, and go to the farthest parts of the sea;

even there Your hand will lead me;
Your right hand will hold on to me.

And I say, 'Surely darkness bruiseth me, Then night is light to me.

Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well.

My frame wasn't hidden from you, when I was made in secret, woven together in the depths of the earth.

Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being imperfect; and in thy book were all my members written, which day by day were fashioned, when as yet there was not one of them.

And to me how precious have been Thy thoughts, O God, how great hath been their sum!

If I could count them, they would outnumber the sand.
When I awake, I am still with You.

If only you would put the sinners to death, O God; go far from me, you men of blood.

Who exchange Thee for wickedness, Lifted up to vanity are Thine enemies.

Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?

With perfect hatred I have hated them, Enemies they have become to me.

See if there is any offensive tendency in me, and lead me in the eternal way. To the Music Director: A Davidic Song

{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.} Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;

Who devise mischiefs in their heart; Continually do they gather themselves together for war.

Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.

I have said unto Jehovah, Thou art my God: give ear, O Jehovah, to the voice of my supplications.

O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.

Do not grant, O Yahweh, [the] desires of [the] wicked. Do not allow [them] to attain their plan, lest they be exalted. Selah

[With respect to the] head of [those who] surround me, may the harm of their lips cover them.

They cause to fall on themselves burning coals, Into fire He doth cast them, Into deep pits -- they arise not.

Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

Knowing that Jehovah will do judgment to the poor one, judgment to the needy.

Only -- the righteous give thanks to Thy name, The upright do dwell with Thy presence!

A Psalm, by David. O Jehovah, I have called Thee, haste to me, Give ear to my voice when I call to Thee.

LORD, set a guard over my mouth; keep watch over the door to my lips.

Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.

Let the righteous strike me, it is kindness; let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head; don't let my head refuse it; Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds.

When their rulers will be thrown off
the sides of a cliff,
the people will listen to my words,
for they are pleasing.

Just as one plows and breaks up the earth, our bones are scattered near the entrance to the place of the dead.

For mine eyes are unto thee, O Jehovah the Lord: In thee do I take refuge; leave not my soul destitute.

Keep me from the jaws of the trap which they have set for me,
And from the snares of those who do iniquity.

I cry with my voice unto Jehovah; With my voice unto Jehovah do I make supplication.

I pour out my complaint before Him;
I reveal my trouble to Him.

When my spirit fainted concerning myself, then, thou, didst take note of my path, - In the course which I was about to take, they had hidden a snare for me.

Look to the right [the point of attack] and see;
For there is no one who has regard for me [to act in my favor].
Escape has failed me and I have nowhere to run;
No one cares about my life.

I cried out to You, O Lord;
I said, “You are my refuge,
My portion in the land of the living.

“Give attention to my cry,
For I am brought very low;
Rescue me from my persecutors,
For they are stronger than I.

Bring forth from prison my soul to confess Thy name, The righteous do compass me about, When Thou conferrest benefits upon me!

{A Psalm of David.} Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.

And do not enter into judgment with your servant, because no one alive [is] righteous before you.

For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.

Yet do I remember the times past; I muse upon all thy works. Yea, I exercise myself in the works of thy hands.

I reach out my hands to You;
My throat thirsts for You, as a parched land [thirsts for water]. Selah.

Make haste to answer me, O Jehovah; my spirit faileth: Hide not thy face from me, Lest I become like them that go down into the pit.

Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.

Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.

Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.

{A Psalm of David.} Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:

who loves me and is my stronghold, my refuge and my deliverer, my shield and the one in whom I take shelter, who makes nations submit to me.

Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away.

O God, a new song I sing to Thee, On a psaltery of ten strings I sing praise to Thee.

Who is giving deliverance to kings, Who is freeing David His servant from the sword of evil.

Then our sons will be like well-nurtured plants, our daughters like pillars carved to adorn a palace.

Our garners are full, bringing out from kind to kind, Our flocks are bringing forth thousands, Ten thousands in our out-places,

That our oxen may be strong to labour; that there be no breaking in, nor going out; that there be no complaining in our streets.

How blessed and favored are the people in such circumstance;
How blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored] are the people whose God is the Lord!

Praise by David. I exalt Thee, my God, O king, And bless Thy name to the age and for ever.
