How thou hast driven out the Heathen with thy hand, and planted them in; how thou hast destroyed the nations and cast them out.

For they got not the land in possession through their own sword, neither was it their own arm that helped them - But thy righthand, thine arm and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them.

Thou art my King, O God; send help unto Jacob.

But it is thou that savest us from our enemies, and puttest them to confusion that hate us.

But now thou art far off, and puttest us to confusion, and goest not forth with our armies.

Thou makest us to turn our backs upon our enemies, so that they which hate us spoil our goods.

Thou lettest us be eaten up like sheep, and scatterest us among the Heathen.

Thou sellest thy people for naught, and takest no money for them.

Thou makest us to be rebuked of our neighbours, to be laughed to scorn and had in derision of them that are round about us.

Thou makest us to be a byword among the Heathen, and that the people shake their heads at us.

no, not when thou hast smitten us into the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death

Arise, LORD! Why sleepest thou? Awake, and be not absent from us forever.

Wherefore hidest thou thy face? Wilt thou clean forget our misery and oppression?

Thou art the fairest among the children of men; full of grace are thy lips, because God hath blessed thee for ever.

Gird thee with thy sword upon thy thigh, O thou Most Mighty, according to thy worship and renown.

Good luck have thou with thine honour; ride on with the truth, meekness and righteousness: and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.

Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; wherefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

All thy garments smell of myrrh, aloes and cassia, when thou comest out of thine ivory palaces in thy beautiful glory.

So shall the king have pleasure in thy beauty; for he is thy LORD, and thou shalt worship him.

Instead of thy fathers thou shalt have children, whom thou mayest make princes in all lands.

Thou shalt break the ships of the sea, through the east wind.

Be not thou afraid, though one be made rich, or if the glory of his house be increased;

For while he lived, he counted himself a happy man; and so long as thou doest well unto thyself, men will speak good of thee.

Thinkest thou that I will eat the flesh of oxen, or drink the blood of goats?

And call upon me in the time of trouble; so will I hear thee, and thou shalt praise me."

But unto the ungodly sayeth God, "Why dost thou preach my laws, and takest my covenant in thy mouth,

whereas thou hatest to be reformed, and hast cast my words behind thee?

If thou seest a thief, thou runnest with him, and art partaker with the adulterers.

Thou lettest thy mouth speak wickedness, and thy tongue painteth deceit.

Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother, yea and slanderest thine own mother's son.

This thou doest, while I hold my tongue: and thinkest wickedly that I am even such a one as thyself; but I will reprove thee, and set before thee the things that thou hast done.

Against thee only have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight, that thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and clear when thou shalt judge.

But lo, thou hast a pleasure in the truth, and hast showed me secret wisdom.

Thou shalt purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; thou shalt wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

Oh let me hear of joy and gladness, that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, thou that art the God of my health; that my tongue may praise thy righteousness.

For if thou hadst pleasure in sacrifice, I would give it thee: but thou delightest not in burnt-offerings.

The sacrifice of God is a troubled spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, shalt thou not despise.

O be favourable and gracious unto Zion; build thou the walls of Jerusalem.

For then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifice of righteousness, with the burnt-offerings and oblations; then shall they lay bullocks upon thine altar.

{To the Chanter, an exhortation of David when Doeg the Edomite came to Saul, and showed him, saying: David is come to the house of Abimelech} Thy boastest thou thyself, thou tyrant, that thou canst do mischief, whereas the goodness of God endureth yet daily?

Thou lovest ungraciousness more than good, to talk of lies more than righteousness. Selah.

Thou lovest to speak all words that may do hurt, O thou false tongue.

I will always give thanks unto thee, for that thou hast done: and I will hope in thy name, for thy saints like it well.

They are afraid where no fear is; for God breaketh the bones of them that besiege thee. Thou hast put them to confusion, because God hath despised them.

He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: destroy thou them in thy truth!

For thou hast delivered me out of all my trouble, so that mine eye seeth his desire upon mine enemies.

But it was even thou, my companion, my guide, and mine own familiar friend.

But as for them, thou, O God, shalt bring them into the pit of destruction. The bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days. Nevertheless, my trust shall be in thee, O LORD.

Mine enemies are daily at hand to swallow me up; for they be many that fight against me, O thou Most Highest.

Shall they escape for their wickedness? Thou, O God, in thy displeasure shalt cast them down.

Thou tellest my flittings, thou puttest my tears in thy bottle, and numberest them. Are not these things noted in thy book?

Whensoever I call upon thee, then shall mine enemies be put to flight; whereby I know that thou art my God.

For thou hast delivered my soul from death, and my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living.

They run and prepare themselves, without my fault; Arise thou therefore to help me, and behold.

Stand up, O LORD God of Hosts, thou God of Israel, to visit all Heathen; be not merciful unto them that offend of malicious wickedness. Selah.

But thou, O LORD, shalt have them in derision, thou shalt laugh all the Heathen to scorn.

My strength will I ascribe unto thee; for thou art the God of my refuge.

As for me, I will sing of thy power, and praise thy mercy betimes in the morning: for thou hast been my defense and refuge in the day of my trouble.

Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing; for thou, O God, art my refuge, and my merciful God.

{To the chanter, upon the rose of witness, Michtam of David, for to teach: when he fought against Mesopotamia, and Syria of Zoba: and when Joab turned back, and slew twelve thousand Edomites in the valley of Salt} O God, thou hast cast us out and scattered us abroad; thou that hast been so sore displeased at us, comfort us again.

Thou that hast moved the land, and divided it; heal the sores thereof, for it shaketh.

Thou hast showed thy people heavy things; thou hast given us a drink of deadly wine.

Yet hast thou given a token, for such as fear thee, that they may triumph because of the truth. Selah.

Shall not thou do it, O God, thou that hast cast us out? Wilt not thou, O God, go out with our hosts?

O be thou our help in trouble, for vain is the help of man.

for thou art my hope, a strong tower for me against the enemy.

For thou, O LORD, hast heard my desires, and hast given a heritage unto those that fear thy name.

Thou shalt grant the king a long life; that his years may endure throughout all generations,

and that thou, LORD, art merciful; for thou rewardest every man according to his work.

{A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah} O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee. My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh also longeth after thee, in a barren and dry land where no water is.

For thou hast been my helper, and under the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

{To the Chanter, a Psalm and song of David} Thou, O God, art praised in Zion; and unto thee shall the vow be performed in Jerusalem.

Thou that hearest the prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.

Our misdeeds prevail against us; O be thou merciful unto our sins.

Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and receivest unto thee; he shall dwell in thy court, and shall be satisfied with the pleasures of thy house, even of thy holy temple.

Thou shalt show us wonderful things in thy righteousness, O God of our salvation, thou that art the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of them that remain in the broad sea -

They that dwell in the uttermost parts of the earth shall be afraid at thy tokens; thou makest both the morning and evening stars to praise thee.

Thou visitest the earth, thou waterest it, and makest it very plenteous. The river of God is full of waters; thou preparest man his corn, and thus thou providest for the earth.

Thou waterest her furrows, thou breakest the hard clots thereof, thou makest it soft with the drops of rain, and blessest the increase of it.

Thou crownest the year with thy good, and thy footsteps drop fatness.

For thou, O God, hast proved us; thou hast tried us like as silver is tried.

Thou hast brought us into captivity, and laid trouble upon our loins.

Thou hast suffered men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, and thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.

O let the nations rejoice and be glad; for thou shalt judge the folk righteously, and govern the nations upon earth.

Like as the smoke vanisheth, so shalt thou drive them away; and like as wax melteth at the fire, so shall the ungodly perish at the presence of God.

O God, when thou wentest forth before the people, when thou wentest through the wilderness, Selah,

Thou, O God sendest a gracious rain upon thine inheritance, and refreshest it when it is dry.

Thy congregation shall dwell therein; for thou, O God, hast of thy goodness prepared for the poor.

Thou art gone up on high; thou hast led captivity captive, and received gifts for men, yea, even for thine enemies, that the LORD God might dwell among them.

It is well seen, O God, how thou goest; how thou, my God and King, goest in the sanctuary.

Thy God hath committed strength unto thee; establish the thing, O God, that thou hast wrought in us,

Reprove the beasts among the reeds, the heap of bulls with the calves, those that drive for money. O scatter thou the people that delight in war.

O God, wonderful art thou in thy holy places, even the God of Israel; he will give strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God.

God, thou knowest my simpleness, and my faults are not hid from thee.

Thou knowest my reproof, and my shame and my dishonor: mine adversaries are all in thy sight.

For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk how they may vex them whom thou hast wounded.

As for me, I am poor and in misery; haste thee unto me, O God. Thou art my help, my redeemer, and my God: O make no long tarrying.

Be thou my stronghold, whereunto I may always resort; thou hast promised to help me, for thou art my house of defense and my castle.

For thou, O LORD God, art the thing that I long for; thou art my hope even from my youth.
