Taste and see that Jehovah is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him!

Fear Jehovah, ye his saints; for there is no want to them that fear him.

Many are the adversities of the righteous, but Jehovah delivereth him out of them all:

Jehovah redeemeth the soul of his servants; and none of them that trust in him shall bear guilt.

Let destruction come upon him unawares, and let his net which he hath hidden catch himself: for destruction let him fall therein.

All my bones shall say, Jehovah, who is like unto thee, who deliverest the afflicted from one stronger than he, yea, the afflicted and the needy from him that spoileth him!

Let them not say in their heart, Aha! so would we have it. Let them not say, We have swallowed him up.

Commit thy way unto Jehovah, and rely upon him: he will bring it to pass;

Rest in Jehovah, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him that prospereth in his way, because of the man that bringeth mischievous devices to pass.

The wicked plotteth against the righteous, and gnasheth his teeth against him.

The Lord laugheth at him; for he seeth that his day is coming.

for those blessed of him shall possess the land, and they that are cursed of him shall be cut off.

The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him:

Jehovah will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.

but he passed away, and behold, he was not; and I sought him, but he was not found.

And Jehovah will help them and deliver them: he will deliver them from the wicked, and save them; for they trust in him.

{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} Blessed is he that understandeth the poor: Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil.

Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive; he shall be made happy in the land; and thou wilt not deliver him to the will of his enemies.

Jehovah will sustain him upon the bed of languishing: thou turnest all his bed in his sickness.

A thing of Belial cleaveth fast unto him; and now that he is laid down, he will rise up no more.

Why art thou cast down, my soul, and art disquieted in me? hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, for the health of his countenance.

Why art thou cast down, my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

Why art thou cast down, my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

Because of the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and the avenger.

And the king will desire thy beauty; for he is thy Lord, and worship thou him.

None can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him,

For when he dieth, he shall carry nothing away; his glory shall not descend after him.

Our God will come, and will not keep silence: fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.

When thou sawest a thief, thou didst take pleasure in him, and thy portion was with adulterers;

Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me; and to him that ordereth his way will I shew the salvation of God.

{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David; when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba.} Be gracious unto me, O God, according to thy loving-kindness; according to the abundance of thy tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.

{To the chief Musician: an instruction. Of David; when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David came to the house of Ahimelech.} Why boastest thou thyself in evil, thou mighty man? The loving-kindness of God abideth continually.

The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him, saying,

There were they in great fear, where no fear was; for God scattereth the bones of him that encampeth against thee. Thou hast put them to shame, for God hath despised them.

For it is not an enemy that hath reproached me then could I have borne it; neither is it he that hateth me that hath magnified himself against me then would I have hidden myself from him;

He hath put forth his hands against such as are at peace with him; he hath profaned his covenant.

{To the chief Musician. On Jonathelem-rechokim. Of David. Michtam; when the Philistines took him in Gath.} Be gracious unto me, O God; for man would swallow me up: all the day long fighting he oppresseth me.

He will send from the heavens and save me; he hath covered with reproach him that would swallow me up. Selah. God hath sent forth his loving-kindness and his truth.

{To the chief Musician. 'Destroy not.' Of David. Michtam; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.} Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God; secure me on high from them that rise up against me.

He shall abide before God for ever: bestow loving-kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

{To the chief Musician. On Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.} Upon God alone doth my soul rest peacefully; from him is my salvation.

How long will ye assail a man; will ye seek, all of you, to break him down as a bowing wall or a tottering fence?

They only consult to thrust him down from his excellency; they delight in lies; they bless with their mouth, but in their inward part they curse. Selah.

Upon God alone, O my soul, rest peacefully; for my expectation is from him.

Confide in him at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before him: God is our refuge. Selah.

But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: for the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.

That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

The righteous shall rejoice in Jehovah, and trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.

He turned the sea into dry land; they went through the river on foot: there did we rejoice in him.

I called unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.

God will bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.

{To the chief Musician. Of David. A Psalm: a Song.} Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered, and let them that hate him flee before him.

Sing unto God, sing forth his name; cast up a way for him that rideth in the deserts: his name is Jah; and rejoice before him.

Verily God will smite the head of his enemies, the hairy scalp of him that goeth on still in his trespasses.

Of him that rideth upon the heavens, the heavens which are of old: lo, he uttereth his voice, a mighty voice.

For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten, and they talk for the sorrow of those whom thou hast wounded.

I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving;

Let heavens and earth praise him; the seas, and everything that moveth therein.

Saying, God hath forsaken him; pursue and seize him, for there is none to deliver.

The dwellers in the desert shall bow before him, and his enemies shall lick the dust.

Yea, all kings shall bow down before him; all nations shall serve him.

And he shall live; and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba; and prayer shall be made for him continually: all the day shall he be blessed.

His name shall endure for ever; his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall bless themselves in him; all nations shall call him blessed.

Thou didst break in pieces the heads of leviathan, thou gavest him to be meat to those that people the desert.

Vow and pay unto Jehovah your God: let all that are round about him bring presents unto him that is to be feared.

Yet they still went on sinning against him, provoking the Most High in the desert;

When he slew them, then they sought him, and returned and sought early after God;

But they flattered him with their mouth, and lied unto him with their tongue;

For their heart was not firm toward him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.

How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert!

And they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.

And he chose David his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds:

From following the suckling-ewes, he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.

The haters of Jehovah would have come cringing unto him; but their time would have been for ever.

Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.

Righteousness shall go before him, and shall set his footsteps on the way.

God is greatly to be feared in the council of the saints, and terrible for all that are round about him.

I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:

With whom my hand shall be established; and mine arm shall strengthen him.

No enemy shall exact upon him, nor the son of wickedness afflict him;

But I will beat down his adversaries before his face, and will smite them that hate him.

And my faithfulness and my loving-kindness shall be with him, and by my name shall his horn be exalted.

And as to me, I will make him firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.

My loving-kindness will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him;

Nevertheless my loving-kindness will I not utterly take from him, nor belie my faithfulness;

All that pass by the way plunder him; he is become a reproach to his neighbours.

Yea, thou hast turned back the edge of his sword, and hast not made him stand in the battle.

The days of his youth hast thou shortened; thou hast covered him with shame. Selah.

I say of Jehovah, My refuge and my fortress; my God, I will confide in him.

Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honour him.

With length of days will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

To shew that Jehovah is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

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

Let us come before his face with thanksgiving; let us shout aloud unto him with psalms.

Majesty and splendour are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

Worship Jehovah in holy splendour; tremble before him, all the earth.

Clouds and darkness are round about him; righteousness and judgment are the foundation of his throne.

A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his adversaries round about.

Ashamed be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols. Worship him, all ye gods.
