Return, Jehovah, free my soul; save me for thy loving-kindness' sake.

{To the chief Musician. Upon the Gittith. A Psalm of David.} Jehovah our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy majesty above the heavens.

When I see thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and stars, which thou hast established;

Thou hast made him to rule over the works of thy hands; thou hast put everything under his feet:

Jehovah our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

{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.

When mine enemies turned back, they stumbled and perished at thy presence:

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.

Arise, Jehovah; let not man prevail: let the nations be judged in thy sight.

His ways always succeed; thy judgments are far above out of his sight; as for all his adversaries, he puffeth at them.

Arise, Jehovah; O God, lift up thy hand: forget not the afflicted.

Thou hast seen it, for thou thyself beholdest trouble and vexation, to requite by thy hand. The wretched committeth himself unto thee; thou hast been the helper of the fatherless.

{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?

As for me, I have confided in thy loving-kindness; my heart shall be joyful in thy salvation.

{A Psalm of David.} Jehovah, who shall sojourn in thy tent? who shall dwell in the hill of thy holiness?

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.

Let my judgment come forth from thy presence, let thine eyes regard equity.

Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept from the paths of the violent man.

When thou holdest my goings in thy paths, my footsteps slip not.

Shew wondrously thy loving-kindnesses, O thou that savest by thy right hand them that trust in thee from those that rise up against them.

Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,

Arise, Jehovah, anticipate him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, thy sword;

From men who are thy hand, O Jehovah, from men of this age: their portion is in this life, and their belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure; they have their fill of sons, and leave the rest of their substance to their children.

As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.

And the beds of the waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were uncovered at thy rebuke, Jehovah, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.

And thou didst give me the shield of thy salvation, and thy right hand held me up; and thy condescending gentleness hath made me great.

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

Moreover, by them is thy servant enlightened; in keeping them there is great reward.

Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be perfect, and I shall be innocent from great transgression.

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer.

Remember all thine oblations, and accept thy burnt-offering; Selah.

Grant thee according to thy heart, and fulfil all thy counsels.

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

{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} The king shall joy in thy strength, Jehovah; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice.

His glory is great through thy salvation; majesty and splendour hast thou laid upon him.

For thou hast made him to be blessings for ever; thou hast filled him with joy by thy countenance.

Thy hand shall find out all thine enemies; thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.

Thou shalt make them as a fiery furnace in the time of thy presence; Jehovah shall swallow them up in his anger, and the fire shall devour them:

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.

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.

This is the generation of them that seek unto him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.

Make me to know thy ways, O Jehovah; teach me thy paths.

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.

Remember, Jehovah, thy tender mercies and thy loving-kindnesses; for they are from everlasting.

Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; according to thy loving-kindness remember thou me, for thy goodness' sake, Jehovah.

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

For thy loving-kindness is before mine eyes, and I have walked in thy truth.

That I may cause the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and declare all thy marvellous works.

Jehovah, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thy glory dwelleth.

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

Hide not thy face from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

Teach me thy way, Jehovah, and lead me in an even path, because of mine enemies.

Wait for Jehovah; be strong and let thy heart take courage: yea, wait for Jehovah.

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

Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance; and feed them, and lift them up for ever.

Jehovah, by thy favour thou hadst made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face; I was troubled.

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

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

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

Into thy hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, Jehovah, thou God of truth.

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

My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from my persecutors.

Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; save me in thy loving-kindness.

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!

Thou keepest them concealed in the secret of thy presence from the conspiracies of man; thou hidest them in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.

For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me; my moisture was turned into the drought of summer. Selah.

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

Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile;

And draw out the spear, and stop the way against my pursuers: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.

Judge me, Jehovah my God, according to thy righteousness, and let them not rejoice over me.

And my tongue shall talk of thy righteousness, and of thy praise, all the day.

Jehovah, thy loving-kindness is in the heavens, and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.

Thy righteousness is like the high mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: thou, Jehovah, preservest man and beast.

How precious is thy loving-kindness, O God! So the sons of men take refuge under the shadow of thy wings.

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

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.

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.

{A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance.} Jehovah, rebuke me not in thy wrath; neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand cometh down upon me.

Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thy hand.

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.

To do thy good pleasure, my God, is my delight, and thy law is within my heart.

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

Withhold not thou, Jehovah, thy tender mercies from me; let thy loving-kindness and thy truth continually preserve me.

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

But as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.

My tears have been my bread day and night, while they say unto me all the day, Where is thy God?

Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy cataracts; all thy breakers and thy billows are gone over me.

As with a crushing in my bones mine adversaries reproach me, while they say unto me all the day, Where is thy God?

Send out thy light and thy truth: they shall lead me, they shall bring me to thy holy mount, and unto thy habitations.

Thou, by thy hand, didst dispossess the nations, but them thou didst plant; thou didst afflict the peoples, but them didst thou cause to spread out.

For not by their own sword did they take possession of the land, neither did their own arm save them; but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst delight in them.
