I have leaned upon thee ever since I was born; thou art he that took me out of my mother's womb, therefore is my praise always of thee.

Thou, O God, hast taught me from my youth up until now; therefore will I tell of thy wondrous works.

Thy righteousness, O God, is very high, and great things are they that thou hast done; O God, who is like unto thee?

O what great troubles and adversities hast thou showed me! And yet didst thou turn and refresh me; yea, and broughtest me from the deep of the earth again.

Thou hast brought me to great honour, and comforted me on every side.

Therefore will I praise thee, and thy faithfulness, O God, playing on the lute; unto thee will I sing upon the harp, O thou holy one of Israel.

My lips would fain sing praises unto thee; and so would my soul whom thou hast delivered.

Thou shalt be feared as long as the sun and moon endureth, from one generation to another.

Namely, how thou hast set them in a slippery places, that thou mayest cast them down headlong and destroy them.

Yea, even like as a dream when one awaketh, so makest thou their image to vanish out of the city.

Nevertheless, I am always by thee; thou holdest me by my righthand.

Thou leadest me with thy counsel, and afterward receivest me unto glory.

For lo, they that forsake thee shall perish; thou destroyest all them that commit fornication against thee.

{An Instruction of Asaph} O God, wherefore doest thou cast us so clean away? Why is thy wrath so hot against the sheep of thy pasture?

O think upon thy congregation, whom thou hast purchased, and redeemed of old; the staff of thine inheritance, whom thou hast redeemed, even this hill of Zion wherein thou dwellest.

Lift up thy feet, that thou mayest utterly destroy every enemy which hath done evil in thy sanctuary.

Why withdrawest thou thy hand? Why pluckest thou not thy righthand out of thy bosom, to consume thy enemies?

Thou dividest the sea through thy power, thou breakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.

Thou smitest the heads of Leviathan in pieces, and givest him to be meat for the people in the wilderness.

Thou bringest out fountains and waters out of the hard rocks; thou driest up mighty rivers.

The day is thine. The night is thine. Thou hast prepared the lights and the sun.

Thou hast set all the borders of the earth; thou hast made both summer and winter.

Thou art of more honour and might than the hills of the robbers.

Thou art fearful, for who may abide in thy sight, when thou art angry?

When thou lettest thy judgment be heard from heaven, the earth trembleth and is still;

The fierceness of man shall turn to thy praise; and the fierceness of them shalt thou refrain.

Thou heldest mine eyes waking, I was so feeble, that I could not speak.

At the last, I came to this point, that I thought, "O why art thou so foolish? the righthand of the most highest can change all!"

Thou art the God that doest wonders, and hast declared thy power among the people.

Thou, with thine arm, hast delivered thy people, even the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.

Thou leddest thy people like sheep, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

LORD, how long wilt thou be angry? Shall thy jealousy burn like fire forever?

{To the Chanter, upon Shoshannim, a Psalm of Asaph} Hear, O thou shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Jacob like a flock of sheep; show thyself, thou that sittest upon the Cherubim.

O LORD God of Hosts, how long wilt thou be angry over the prayer of thy people?

Thou hast fed them with the bread of tears, yea thou hast given them plenteousness of tears to drink.

Thou hast made us a very strife unto our neighbours, and our enemies laugh us to scorn.

Turn us again, thou God of hosts; show the light of thy countenance, and we shall be whole.

Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt; thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.

Thou madest room for it, and caused it to take root, so that it filled the land.

Why hast thou then broken down her hedge, that all they which go by, pluck off her grapes?

Turn thee again, thou God of hosts, look down from heaven, behold and visit this vine,

and the place of the vineyard that thy righthand hath planted, and the son whom thou madest so strong for thyself.

Let thy hand be upon the man of thy righthand, and upon the son of man, whom thou madest so strong for thine own self.

When thou calledest upon me in trouble, I delivered thee, and heard thee, what time as the storm fell upon thee. I proved thee also at the waters of strife. Selah.

Hear, O my people; for I assure thee, O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me.

There shall no strange god be in thee, neither shalt thou worship any other god.

Arise, O God, and judge thou the earth, for thou shalt take all heathen to thine inheritance.

But do thou to them as unto the Midianites, unto Sisera, and unto Jabin by the brook of Kishon,

And they shall know that thou, whose name is Jehovah, art only the most highest over all the earth.

{Upon Gittith, a Psalm of the sons of Korah} O how amiable are thy dwellings, thou LORD of Hosts!

{To the Chanter, a Psalm of the sons of Korah} LORD, thou art become gracious unto thy land; thou hast turned away the captivity of Jacob.

Thou hast forgiven the offense of thy people, and covered all their sins. Selah.

Thou hast taken away all thy displeasure, and turned thyself from thy wrathful indignation.

Wilt thou be displeased at us forever? Wilt thou stretch out thy wrath from one generation to another?

Wilt thou not turn again, and quicken us, that thy people may rejoice in thee?

Preserve thou my soul, for I am holy; my God, help thy servant that putteth his trust in thee.

For thou, LORD, art good and gracious, and of great mercy unto all them that call upon thee.

In the time of my trouble I call upon thee; for thou hearest me.

Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O LORD, there is not one that can do as thou doest.

All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O LORD, and shall glorify thy name.

For thou art great, and doest wondrous things; thou art God alone.

For great is thy mercy toward me; and thou hast delivered my soul from the nethermost hell.

But thou, O LORD God, art full of compassion and mercy, longsuffering, plenteous in goodness and truth.

Show some token upon me for good, that they which hate me may see it and be ashamed; because thou, LORD, hast helped me, and comforted me.

Very excellent things are spoken of thee, thou city of God. Selah.

Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in a place of darkness and in the deep.

Thine indignation lieth hard upon me, and thou hast vexed me with all thy floods. Selah.

Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me, and made me to be abhorred of them. I am so fast in prison that I cannot get forth.

Dost thou show wonders among the dead? Can the Physicians raise them up again, that they may praise thee? Selah.

LORD, why abhorrest thou my soul, and hidest thou thy face from me?

My lovers and friends hast thou put away from me, and hid mine acquaintance out of my sight.

For I have said, "Mercy shall be set up for ever; thy truth shalt thou establish in the heavens."

Thou rulest the pride of the sea; thou stillest the waves thereof when they arise.

Thou hast subdued Egypt, like one that is wounded; thou scatterest thine enemies abroad with thy mighty arm.

The heavens are thine. The earth also is thine; thou hast laid the foundation of the round world and all that therein is.

Thou hast made the north and the south, Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.

Thou hast a mighty arm; strong is thy hand, and high is thy righthand.

For thou art the glory of their strength, and through thy favour shalt thou lift up our horns.

Thou spakest sometime in visions unto thy saints, and saidst, "I have laid help upon one that is mighty, I have exalted one chosen out of the people.

He shall call me, "Thou art my father, my God, and the strength of my salvation.'

But thou hast abhorred and forsaken thine annointed, and art displeased at him.

Thou hast broken the covenant of thy servant, and cast his crown to the ground.

Thou hast overthrown all his hedges, and broken down his strongholds.

Thou hast set up the righthand of his enemies, and made all his adversaries to rejoice.

Thou hast taken away the strength of his sword, and givest him not victory in the battle.

Thou hast put out his glory, and cast his throne down to the ground.

The days of his youth hast thou shortened, and covered him with dishonour. Selah.

LORD, how long wilt thou hide thyself? Forever? And shall thy wrath burn like fire?

O remember how short my time is; hast thou made all men for nought?

LORD, where are thy old loving-kindnesses, which thou sworest unto David in thy truth?

{A Prayer of Moses the man of God} LORD, thou hast been our refuge, from one generation to another.

Before the mountains were brought forth, before the earth and the world were made, thou art God from everlasting and world without end.

Thou turnest man to destruction; Again, thou sayest, "Come again, ye children of men."

As soon as thou scatterest them, they are even as asleep, and fade away suddenly like the grass.

Thou hast set our misdeeds before thee, and our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.

For when thou art angry, all our days are gone; we bring our years to an end, as it were a tale that is told.

Comfort us again, now after the time that thou hast plagued us, and for the years wherein we have suffered adversity.

And the glorious majesty of the LORD our God be upon us. Prosper thou the work of our hands upon us; O prosper thou our handiwork.

He shall defend thee under his wings, that thou mayest be safe under his feathers: his faithfulness and truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

Thou shalt not be afraid for any terror by night, nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
