From following the ewes that have their young he brought him, To be the shepherd of Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.

Turn again, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: Look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine,

So shall we not go back from thee: Quicken thou us, and we will call upon thy name.

I removed his shoulder from the burden: His hands were freed from the basket.

They know not, neither do they understand; They walk to and fro in darkness: All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; That the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

They go from strength to strength; Every one of them appeareth before God in Zion.

For Jehovah God is a sun and a shield: Jehovah will give grace and glory; No good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

Thou hast taken away all thy wrath; Thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger.

Truth springeth out of the earth; And righteousness hath looked down from heaven.

For great is thy lovingkindness toward me; And thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.

Cast off among the dead, Like the slain that lie in the grave, Whom thou rememberest no more, And they are cut off from thy hand.

Thou hast put mine acquaintance far from me; Thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.

Jehovah, why castest thou off my soul? Why hidest thou thy face from me?

I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: While I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.

Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, And mine acquaintance into darkness.

The enemy shall not exact from him, Nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

But my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, Nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.

What man is he that shall live and not see death, That shall deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah

Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.

For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the deadly pestilence.

Thy throne is established of old: Thou art from everlasting.

That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, Until the pit be digged for the wicked.

Sing unto Jehovah, bless his name; Show forth his salvation from day to day.

A perverse heart shall depart from me: I will know no evil thing.

Morning by morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land; To cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of Jehovah.

Hide not thy face from me in the day of my distress: Incline thine ear unto me; In the day when I call answer me speedily.

For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; From heaven did Jehovah behold the earth;

Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

As far as the east is from the west, So far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

But the lovingkindness of Jehovah is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, And his righteousness unto children's children;

He watereth the mountains from his chambers: The earth is filled with the fruit of thy works.

The young lions roar after their prey, And seek their food from God.

And they went about from nation to nation, From one kingdom to another people.

And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

Save us, O Jehovah our God, And gather us from among the nations, To give thanks unto thy holy name, And to triumph in thy praise.

Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting even to everlasting. And let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye Jehovah.

Let the redeemed of Jehovah say'so , Whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the adversary,

And gathered out of the lands, From the east and from the west, From the north and from the south.

He sendeth his word, and healeth them, And delivereth them from their destructions.

They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, And are at their wits end.

Yet setteth he the needy on high from affliction, And maketh him families like a flock.

Let them be before Jehovah continually, That he may cut off the memory of them from the earth;

Yea, he loved cursing, and it came unto him; And he delighted not in blessing, and it was far from him.

This is the reward of mine adversaries from Jehovah, And of them that speak evil against my soul.

For he will stand at the right hand of the needy, To save him from them that judge his soul.

Blessed be the name of Jehovah From this time forth and for evermore.

From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same Jehovah's name is to be praised.

He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, And lifteth up the needy from the dunghill;

When Israel went forth out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

But we will bless Jehovah From this time forth and for evermore. Praise ye Jehovah.

For thou hast delivered my soul from death, Mine eyes from tears, And my feet from falling.

With my whole heart have I sought thee: Oh let me not wander from thy commandments.

I am a sojourner in the earth: Hide not thy commandments from me.

Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, That do wander from thy commandments.

Take away from me reproach and contempt; For I have kept thy testimonies.

Remove from me the way of falsehood; And grant me thy law graciously.

Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity, And quicken me in thy ways.

The proud have had me greatly in derision: Yet have I not swerved from thy law.

I have refrained my feet from every evil way, That I might observe thy word.

I have not turned aside from thine ordinances; For thou hast taught me.

The wicked have laid a snare for me; Yet have I not gone astray from thy precepts.

Depart from me, ye evil-doers, That I may keep the commandments of my God.

Thou hast set at nought all them that err from thy statutes; For their deceit is falsehood.

Redeem me from the oppression of man: So will I observe thy precepts.

They draw nigh that follow after wickedness; They are far from thy law.

Of old have I known from thy testimonies, That thou hast founded them for ever.

Salvation is far from the wicked; For they seek not thy statutes.

Many are my persecutors and mine adversaries; Yet have I not swerved from thy testimonies.

Deliver my soul, O Jehovah, from lying lips, And from a deceitful tongue.

I will lift up mine eyes unto the mountains: From whence shall my help come?

My help cometh from Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth.

Jehovah will keep thee from all evil; He will keep thy soul.

Jehovah will keep thy going out and thy coming in From this time forth and for evermore.

As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, So Jehovah is round about his people From this time forth and for evermore.

Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth up, Let Israel now say,

Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth up: Yet they have not prevailed against me.

And he will redeem Israel From all his iniquities.

O Israel, hope in Jehovah From this time forth and for evermore.

Jehovah hath sworn unto David in truth; He will not turn from it: Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.

Who causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; Who maketh lightnings for the rain; Who bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries;

And brought out Israel from among them; For his lovingkindness endureth for ever;

And hath delivered us from our adversaries; For his lovingkindness endureth for ever:

For though Jehovah is high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly; But the haughty he knoweth from afar.

Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? Or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

Even the darkness hideth not from thee, But the night shineth as the day: The darkness and the light are both alike to thee .

My frame was not hidden from thee, When I was made in secret, And curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: Depart from me therefore, ye bloodthirsty men.

Deliver me, O Jehovah, from the evil man; Preserve me from the violent man:

Keep me, O Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked; Preserve me from the violent man: Who have purposed to thrust aside my steps.

Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, And from the gins of the workers of iniquity.

Attend unto my cry; For I am brought very low: Deliver me from my persecutors; For they are stronger than I.

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.

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

Stretch forth thy hand from above; Rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters, Out of the hand of aliens;

Thou art he that giveth salvation unto kings; Who rescueth David his servant from the hurtful sword.

Praise ye Jehovah. Praise ye Jehovah from the heavens: Praise him in the heights.

Praise Jehovah from the earth, Ye sea-monsters, and all deeps.

My son, walk not thou in the way with them; Refrain thy foot from their path:

To deliver thee from the way of evil, From the men that speak perverse things;
