Thy throne is established of old; thou art from eternity.

Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thy house, O Jehovah, for ever.

They crush thy people, O Jehovah, and afflict thine inheritance;

Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Jah, and whom thou teachest out of thy law;

When I said, My foot slippeth, thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, held me up.

In the multitude of my anxious thoughts within me thy comforts have delighted my soul.

Zion heard, and rejoiced; and the daughters of Judah were glad, because of thy judgments, O Jehovah.

They shall praise thy great and terrible name, it is holy! --

Hide not thy face from me: in the day of my trouble, incline thine ear unto me; in the day I call, answer me speedily.

Because of thine indignation and thy wrath; for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.

But thou, Jehovah, abidest for ever, and thy memorial from generation to generation.

For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour her dust.

And the nations shall fear the name of Jehovah, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.

I said, My God, take me not away in the midst of my days! ... Thy years are from generation to generation.

Of old hast thou founded the earth, and the heavens are the work of thy hands:

But thou art the Same, and thy years shall have no end.

The children of thy servants shall abide, and their seed shall be established before thee.

Who forgiveth all thine iniquities, who healeth all thy diseases;

Who redeemeth thy life from the pit, who crowneth thee with loving-kindness and tender mercies;

Who satisfieth thine old age with good things; thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.

At thy rebuke they fled, at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away; --

He watereth the mountains from his upper-chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.

How manifold are thy works, O Jehovah! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.

That thou givest unto them, they gather; thou openest thy hand, they are filled with good.

Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; thou takest away their breath, they expire and return to their dust.

Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created, and thou renewest the face of the earth.

Remember me, O Jehovah, with thy favour toward thy people; visit me with thy salvation:

That I may see the prosperity of thy chosen ones, that I may rejoice in the joy of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance.

Our fathers in Egypt considered not thy wondrous works; they remembered not the multitude of thy loving-kindnesses; but they rebelled at the sea, at the Red Sea.

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

For thy loving-kindness is great above the heavens, and thy truth is unto the clouds.

Be thou exalted above the heavens, O God, and thy glory above all the earth.

That thy beloved ones may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.

But do thou for me, Jehovah, Lord, for thy name's sake; because thy loving-kindness is good, deliver me:

Help me, Jehovah my God; save me according to thy loving-kindness:

That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, Jehovah, hast done it.

Let them curse, but bless thou; when they rise up, let them be ashamed, and let thy servant rejoice.

{Psalm of David.} Jehovah said unto my Lord, Sit at my right hand, until I put thine enemies as footstool of thy feet.

Jehovah shall send the sceptre of thy might out of Zion: rule in the midst of thine enemies.

Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in holy splendour: from the womb of the morning shall come to thee the dew of thy youth.

The Lord at thy right hand will smite through kings in the day of his anger.

Not unto us, O Jehovah, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth's sake.

Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for Jehovah hath dealt bountifully with thee.

Yea, Jehovah! for I am thy servant; I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.

Thou hast enjoined thy precepts, to be kept diligently.

Oh that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!

Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.

I will give thee thanks with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.

I will keep thy statutes: forsake me not utterly.

BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his path? by taking heed according to thy word.

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

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

Blessed art thou, Jehovah! teach me thy statutes.

With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.

I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all wealth.

I will meditate upon thy precepts, and have respect unto thy paths.

I delight myself in thy statutes; I will not forget thy word.

GIMEL. Deal bountifully with thy servant and I shall live; and I will keep thy word.

Open mine eyes, and I shall behold wondrous things out of thy law.

I am a stranger in the land; hide not thy commandments from me.

My soul breaketh for longing after thy judgments at all times.

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

Roll off from me reproach and contempt; for I observe thy testimonies.

Princes also did sit and talk together against me: thy servant doth meditate in thy statutes.

Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counsellors.

DALETH. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken me according to thy word.

I have declared my ways, and thou hast answered me: teach me thy statutes.

Make me to understand the way of thy precepts, and I will meditate upon thy wondrous works.

My soul melteth for sadness: strengthen me according to thy word.

Remove from me the way of falsehood, and graciously grant me thy law.

I have chosen the way of faithfulness; thy judgments have I set before me.

I cleave unto thy testimonies; Jehovah, let me not be ashamed.

I will run the way of thy commandments when thou shalt enlarge my heart.

HE. Teach me, O Jehovah, the way of thy statutes, and I will observe it unto the end.

Give me understanding, and I will observe thy law; and I will keep it with my whole heart.

Make me to walk in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight.

Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to gain.

Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; quicken me in thy way.

Establish thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear.

Turn away my reproach which I fear; for thy judgments are good.

Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.

VAU. And let thy loving-kindness come unto me, O Jehovah, thy salvation according to thy word.

So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me; for I confide in thy word.

And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; because I have hoped in thy judgments.

Then will I keep thy law continually, for ever and ever;

And I will walk at liberty, for I have sought thy precepts;

And I will speak of thy testimonies before kings, and will not be ashamed;

And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved;

And I will lift up my hands unto thy commandments, which I have loved, and I will meditate in thy statutes.

ZAIN. Remember the word for thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.

This is my comfort in mine affliction; for thy word hath quickened me.

The proud have derided me beyond measure: I have not declined from thy law.

I remembered thy judgments of old, O Jehovah, and have comforted myself.

Burning indignation hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked who forsake thy law.

Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.

I have remembered thy name, O Jehovah, in the night, and have kept thy law.

This I have had, because I have observed thy precepts.

CHETH. My portion, O Jehovah, I have said, is to keep thy words.

I have sought thy favour with my whole heart: be gracious unto me according to thy word.

I have thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.
