Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.

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

There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.

These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season.

That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.

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

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

Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD.

Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation;

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

Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?

Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.

But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name's sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me.

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

Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.

{A Psalm of David.} The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.

Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.

The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?

Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.

O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.

Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me.

I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.

Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee.

Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently.

Blessed art thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes.

Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.

Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy commandments.

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

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

My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word.

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

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

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

CHETH. Thou art my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words.

TETH. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according unto thy word.

Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.

I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.

Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?

How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?

All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.

Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.

I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me.

Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me.

I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me.

Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word.

Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually.

Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood.

Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: therefore I love thy testimonies.

Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.

TZADDI. Righteous art thou, O LORD, and upright are thy judgments.

Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful.

Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth.

Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.

My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes.

What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?

{A Song of degrees.} Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.

For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel.

If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.

Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.

O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.

I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.

{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.} O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.

Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.

Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.

For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.

Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.

If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.

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

I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD.

O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.

When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.

I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.

Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.

Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.

LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him!

The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season.

Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.

My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.

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

My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;

So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;

Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;

If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;

Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.

Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.

That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.

So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.

Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.

When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
