His glory is great in Your salvation; honor and majesty You have laid on him.

For You have made him most blessed forever; You have rejoiced him in the gladness in Your holy face.

To the Chief Musician, on the deer of the dawn. A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why have You forsaken me, and are far from my deliverance, and from the words of my groaning?

Many bulls have circled around Me; strong bulls Of Bashan have surrounded Me.

and You have brought Me into the dust of death. For dogs have circled around Me; the band of spoilers have hemmed Me in, piercers of My hands and My feet.

Save Me from the lion's mouth; from the wild oxen's horns. You have answered Me.

Turn to me, and have mercy on me, for I am wasted and afflicted.

A Psalm of David. Judge me, O Jehovah; for I have walked in my truthfulness. I have trusted also in Jehovah; I shall not slide.

For Your loving-kindness is before my eyes; and I have walked in Your truth.

I have not sat with lying men, neither will I go in with hypocrites.

I have hated the congregation of evil-doers, and will not sit with the wicked.

Jehovah, I have loved the dwelling place of Your house, and the place where Your honor dwells.

One thing I have desired from Jehovah, that I will 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 pray in His temple.

Hear, O Jehovah, when I cry with my voice; and have mercy on me, and answer me.

Hide not Your face from me. Turn not Your servant away in anger; You have been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

Deliver me not over to the will of my enemies; for false witnesses have risen up against me, and he that breathes out cruelty.

I would have fainted unless I had believed to see the goodness of Jehovah in the land of the living.

A Psalm and Song at the dedication of the House of David. I will praise You, O Jehovah; for You have lifted me up, and have not allowed my foes to rejoice over me.

O Jehovah my God, I cried to You, and You have healed me.

O Jehovah, You have brought up my soul from the grave; You have kept me alive, so that I should not go down to the Pit.

O Jehovah, by Your favor You have made my mountain to stand strong; You hid Your face, and I was troubled.

Hear, O Jehovah, and have mercy on me; Jehovah, be my helper.

You have turned my mourning into dancing for me; You have torn off my sackcloth, and have clothed me with gladness,

Into Your hand I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O Jehovah, the God of truth.

I have hated those who take heed to lying vanities; but I trust in Jehovah.

I will be glad and rejoice in Your mercy; for You have looked on my affliction; You have known my soul in troubles;

and have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy; You have set my feet in a broad place.

Have mercy on me, O Jehovah, for I am in trouble; my eye has become old with grief, my soul and my belly.

For my life is ending with grief, and my years with sighing; my strength fails because of my iniquity, and my bones have wasted away.

For I have heard the slander of many; fear is on every side; because of their plottings together against me, they planned to take away my life.

Let me not be ashamed, O Jehovah; for I have called on You; Let the wicked be ashamed; let them be silent in the grave.

How great is Your goodness, which You have laid up for those who fear You; You have worked for those who trust in You before the sons of men!

I confessed my sin to You, and my iniquity I have not hidden. I said, I will confess my transgression to Jehovah; and You forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

Be not like the horse, or like the mule, who have no understanding, whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, so that they do not come near you.

For without cause they have spread their net for me in a pit-net; without cause they have dug for my soul.

And they widen their mouths against me; they say, Aha, aha! Our eyes have seen.

You have seen, O Jehovah; do not keep silence; O Jehovah, do not be far from me.

Let them not say in their hearts, Aha! Our Soul! Let them not say, We have swallowed him up.

There the evil-doers have fallen; they are cast down, and cannot rise.

The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, to kill those who walk uprightly.

I have been young, and am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, or his seed begging bread.

I have seen the wicked ruthless, and spreading himself like a luxuriant native tree.

For my iniquities have gone over my head; like a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

My wounds have putrefied and rotted, because of my foolishness.

I am feeble and painfully broken; I have roared because of the groanings of my heart.

Behold, You have made my days as a handbreadth, and my age is as nothing before You. Surely every man standing is altogether vanity. Selah.

I was dumb, I did not open my mouth; because You have done it.

O Jehovah my God, many things You have done, Your wonderful works and Your thoughts which are toward us; they cannot be set in order to You; I will declare and speak, for they are more than can be numbered.

Sacrifice and offering You did not desire; My ears You have opened; burnt offering and sin offering You have not asked.

I have preached righteousness in the great congregation; lo, I have not kept back My lips, O Jehovah, You know.

I have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart; I have declared Your faithfulness and Your salvation; I have not hidden Your loving-kindness and Your truth from the great congregation.

For evils without number have hemmed me in; my sins have taken hold on me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart fails me.

I said, Jehovah, be merciful to me; heal my soul; for I have sinned against You.

My tears have been my food day and night, while they say to me all the day, Where is your God?

Deep calls to deep at the noise of Your waterfalls; all Your waves and Your billows have gone over me.

I will say to God my rock, Why have You forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the cruelty of the enemy?

To the Chief Musician. For the sons of Korah, a contemplation. We have heard with our ears, O God; our fathers have told us the work which You did in their days, in the days of old.

But You have saved us from our enemies, and have put them to shame, those who hated us.

Now You have cast us off, and have shamed us, and You do not go forth with our armies.

You have given us like sheep for food, and have scattered us among the nations.

You have sold Your people for nothing, and You did not increase by their price.

All this has come on us; yet we have not forgotten You nor dealt falsely in Your covenant.

Our heart is not turned back, nor have our steps turned aside from Your way,

though You have crushed us in the place of jackals and covered us with the shadow of death.

If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god,

All Your garments smell of myrrh, and aloes and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, by which they have made You glad.

as we have heard, so we have seen in the city of Jehovah of Hosts, in the city of our God. God will establish it forever. Selah.

We have thought of Your loving-kindness, O God, in the midst of Your temple.

Like sheep they are appointed to the grave; death shall reign for them; and the upright shall have the rule over them in the morning; and their form is for rotting; the grave is their home.

When you saw a thief, then you were pleased to be with him, and you have taken part with adulterers.

These things you have done, and I have kept silence; you thought that I was like yourself, but I will rebuke you, and set in order before your eyes.

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba. Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your loving-kindness; according to the multitude of Your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.

Against You, You only, have I sinned, and done evil in Your sight; that You might be justified when You speak, and be clear when You judge.

Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which You have broken may rejoice.

I will praise You forever, because You have done it; and I will wait on Your name; for it is good before Your saints.

To the Chief Musician on Mahalath. A contemplation. A Psalm of David. The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They acted corruptly, and have worked out abominable wickedness; there is not one doing good.

Every one has turned away; they have altogether become filthy; not one is doing good, no, not even one.

Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? They eat up my people as they eat bread; they have not called on God.

There they dreaded with dread, where no dread was; for God has scattered the bones of him who camps against you; you have put them to shame because God rejects them.

For strangers have risen up against me, and cruel men seek after my soul; they have not set God before them. Selah.

My heart is pained within me; and the terrors of death have fallen on me.

Fear and trembling have come on me, and horror has covered me.

Swallow up, O Jehovah, and divide their tongues; for I have seen violence and fighting in the city.

For it is not an enemy who reviled me; then I could have borne it; it is not one who hates me who magnified himself against me; or I would hide myself from him;

God shall hear and answer them, even He who is enthroned of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they do not fear God.

In God I will praise His Word; in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do to me.

In God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid of what man can do to me.

For You have delivered my soul from death; have You not kept my feet from falling, so that I may walk before God in the light of the living?

They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down; they have dug a pit before me, they have fallen into it. Selah.

But I will sing of Your power; yes, I will sing aloud of Your mercy in the morning; for You have been my strong tower and hiding-place in the day of my trouble.

To the Chief Musician. On the Lily of Testimony. A secret treasure of David, to teach; when he struggled with Aram-naharaim and with Aram of Zobah, when Joab returned and struck twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt. O God, You have cast us off, You have scattered us, You were angry; take us back.

You have shown Your people hard things; You have made us to drink the wine of trembling.

You have given a banner to those who fear You, to lift it up because of the truth. Selah.

Have not You, O God, cast us off? And will You, O God, not go out with our armies?

For You have been a shelter for me, a strong tower before the enemy.

For You, O God, have heard my vows; You have given an inheritance to those who fear Your name.

Surely they have plotted to cast him down from his great height; they delight in lies; they bless with their mouth, but they curse in their heart. Selah.

God has spoken once; twice I have heard this, that power belongs to God.

so I have seen You in the holy place, seeing Your power and Your glory.

Because You have been my help, therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice.
