To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy loving-kindness: according to the multitude of thy tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.

Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.

To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, A Psalm of David, when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.

To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, A Psalm of David. Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.

Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.

And I said, O that I had wings like a dove! for then I would fly away, and be at rest.

For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that magnified himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:

They assemble themselves, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.

Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of my head; Judah is my lawgiver;

Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:

To the chief Musician, A Psalm or Song of David. Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.

But God will wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such one as goeth on still in his trespasses.

They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head: they that would destroy me, being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.

O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee.

Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.

And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.

But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.

A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.

Thou didst break the head of leviathan in pieces, and didst give him to be food to the people inhabiting the wilderness.

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 hath done.

And forgot his works, and his wonders that he had shown them.

Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,

And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.

How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan:

And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink.

He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.

And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased.

O that my people had hearkened to me, and Israel had walked in my ways!

For lo, thy enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.

For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a door-keeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

Show me a token for good; that they who hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast helped me, and comforted me.

God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence by all them that are about him.

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

How long, LORD, wilt thou hide thyself? for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire?

Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.

Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.

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

Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline thy ear to me: in the day when I call, answer me speedily.

For he hath looked down from the hight of his sanctuary; from heaven hath the LORD beheld the earth;

He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.

He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen.

They forgot God their savior, who had done great things in Egypt;

Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.

Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of my head; Judah is my lawgiver;

He will drink of the brook in the way: therefore will he lift up the head.

The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.

The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.

BETH. Wherewith shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed to it, according to thy word.

Thy word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against thee.

I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.

The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet I have not declined from thy law.

This I had, because I kept thy precepts.

They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts.

Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in my affliction.

Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.

SAMECH. I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love.

Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way.

I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love.

A Song of degrees of David. If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.

It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garment;

My substance was not hid from thee when I was made in secret, and curiously formed in the lowest parts of the earth.

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

I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them my enemies.

The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the way side: they have set gins for me. Selah.

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

As for the head of those that encompass me, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.

Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like them that go down into the pit.

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

For they shalt be an ornament of grace to thy head, and chains about thy neck.

How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;

If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;

She shall give to thy head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.

These six things doth the LORD hate: yes, seven are an abomination to him:

Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?

The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogance, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.

But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.

Reprove not a scorner, lest he shall hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.

Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.

The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it is found in the way of righteousness.

A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips: and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.

All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him.

The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the gray head.

And lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face of it, and its stone wall was broken down.

The heaven for hight, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable.

Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbor's house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee.

For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD will reward thee.

When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase.

The blood-thirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul.

I communed with my own heart, saying, Lo, I have come to great estate, and have gained more wisdom than all they that have been before me in Jerusalem: and my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.

I procured me servants and maidens, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of great and small cattle above all that were in Jerusalem before me:

Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labor that I had labored to do: and behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun.
