There are the workers of iniquity fallen: They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise.

Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, Neither be thou envious against them that work unrighteousness.

Rest in Jehovah, and wait patiently for him: Fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, Because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: Fret not thyself, it tendeth only to evil-doing.

For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: Yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and he shall not be.

They shall not be put to shame in the time of evil; And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again; But the righteous dealeth graciously, and giveth.

Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; For Jehovah upholdeth him with his hand.

I have been young, and now am old; Yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his seed begging bread.

For Jehovah loveth justice, And forsaketh not his saints; They are preserved for ever: But the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

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

But one passed by, and, lo, he was not: Yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.

O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thy wrath; Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

Lord, all my desire is before thee; And my groaning is not hid from thee.

But I, as a deaf man, hear not; And I am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.

Yea, I am as a man that heareth not, And in whose mouth are no reproofs.

Forsake me not, O Jehovah: O my God, be not far from me.

I said, I will take heed to my ways, That I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, While the wicked is before me.

Surely every man walketh in a vain show; Surely they are disquieted in vain: He heapeth up riches , and knoweth not who shall gather them.

Deliver me from all my transgressions: Make me not the reproach of the foolish.

I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; Because thou didst it.

Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, and give ear unto my cry; Hold not thy peace at my tears: For I am a stranger with thee, A sojourner, as all my fathers were.

Blessed is the man that maketh Jehovah his trust, And respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

Sacrifice and offering thou hast no delight in; Mine ears hast thou opened: Burnt-offering and sin-offering hast thou not required.

I have proclaimed glad tidings of righteousness in the great assembly; Lo, I will not refrain my lips, O Jehovah, thou knowest.

I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation; I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great assembly.

Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Jehovah; Let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.

For innumerable evils have compassed me about; Mine iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up; They are more than the hairs of my head; And my heart hath failed me.

Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive, And he shall be blessed upon the earth; And deliver not thou him unto the will of his enemies.

By this I know that thou delightest in me, Because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.

My tears have been my food day and night, While they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?

Yet Jehovah will command his lovingkindness in the day-time; And in the night his song shall be with me, Even a prayer unto the God of my life.

For they gat not the land in possession by their own sword, Neither did their own arm save them; But thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, Because thou wast favorable unto them.

For I will not trust in my bow, Neither shall my sword save me.

But now thou hast cast us off, and brought us to dishonor, And goest not forth with our hosts.

Thou sellest thy people for nought, And hast not increased thy wealth by their price.

All this is come upon us; Yet have we not forgotten thee, Neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.

Our heart is not turned back, Neither have our steps declined from thy way,

Will not God search this out? For he knoweth the secrets of the heart.

Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? Arise, cast us not off for ever.

Therefore will we not fear, though the earth do change, And though the mountains be shaken into the heart of the seas;

God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God will help her, and that right early.

That he should still live alway, That he should not see corruption.

But man being in honor abideth not: He is like the beasts that perish.

Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, When the glory of his house is increased.

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

Man that is in honor, and understandeth not, Is like the beasts that perish.

Our God cometh, and doth not keep silence: A fire devoureth before him, And it is very tempestuous round about him.

I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices; And thy burnt-offerings are continually before me.

If I were hungry, I would not tell thee; For the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.

Cast me not away from thy presence; And take not thy holy Spirit from me.

For thou delightest not in sacrifice; else would I give it: Thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering.

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: A broken and contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength, But trusted in the abundance of his riches, And strengthened himself in his wickedness.

Every one of them is gone back; they are together become filthy; There is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, Who eat up my people as they eat bread, And call not upon God?

For strangers are risen up against me, And violent men have sought after my soul: They have not set God before them. Selah

Give ear to my prayer, O God; And hide not thyself from my supplication.

Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: Iniquity also and mischief are in the midst of it.

Wickedness is in the midst thereof: Oppression and guile depart not from its streets.

For it was not an enemy that reproached me; Then I could have borne it: Neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; Then I would have hid myself from him:

God will hear, and answer them, Even he that abideth of old, Selah The men who have no changes, And who fear not God.

But thou, O God, wilt bring them down into the pit of destruction: Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; But I will trust in thee.

In God (I will praise his word), In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid; What can flesh do unto me?

Thou numberest my wanderings: Put thou my tears into thy bottle; Are they not in thy book?

In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid; What can man do unto me?

For thou hast delivered my soul from death: Hast thou not delivered my feet from falling, That I may walk before God In the light of the living?

They have prepared a net for my steps; My soul is bowed down: They have digged a pit before me; They are fallen into the midst thereof themselves. Selah

Which hearkeneth not to the voice of charmers, Charming never so wisely.

Let them be as a snail which melteth and passeth away, Like the untimely birth of a woman, that hath not seen the sun.

For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul; The mighty gather themselves together against me: Not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Jehovah.

Even thou, O Jehovah God of hosts, the God of Israel, Arise to visit all the nations: Be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah

Slay them not, lest my people forget: Scatter them by thy power, and bring them down, O Lord our shield.

They shall wander up and down for food, And tarry all night if they be not satisfied.

Hast not thou, O God, cast us off? And thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.

He only is my rock and my salvation: He is my high tower; I shall not be greatly moved.

He only is my rock and my salvation: He is my high tower; I shall not be moved.

Trust not in oppression, And become not vain in robbery: If riches increase, set not your heart thereon .

When I remember thee upon my bed, And meditate on thee in the night-watches.

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

He ruleth by his might for ever; His eyes observe the nations: Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah

Who holdeth our soul in life, And suffereth not our feet to be moved.

Thou broughtest us into the net; Thou layedst a sore burden upon our loins.

If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear:

Blessed be God, Who hath not turned away my prayer, Nor his lovingkindness from me.

They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head: They that would cut me off, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: That which I took not away I have to restore.

O God, thou knowest my foolishness; And my sins are not hid from thee.

Let not them that wait for thee be put to shame through me, O Lord Jehovah of hosts: Let not those that seek thee be brought to dishonor through me, O God of Israel.

Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: Let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.

Let not the waterflood overwhelm me, Neither let the deep swallow me up; And let not the pit shut its mouth upon me.

And hide not thy face from thy servant; For I am in distress; answer me speedily.

Add iniquity unto their iniquity; And let them not come into thy righteousness.

Let them be blotted out of the book of life, And not be written with the righteous.

For Jehovah heareth the needy, And despiseth not his prisoners.

Cast me not off in the time of old age; Forsake me not when my strength faileth.

O God, be not far from me; O my God, make haste to help me.

My mouth shall tell of thy righteousness, And of thy salvation all the day; For I know not the numbers thereof .

Yea, even when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not, Until I have declared thy strength unto the next generation, Thy might to every one that is to come.

They are not in trouble as other men; Neither are they plagued like other men.

We see not our signs: There is no more any prophet; Neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.
