That my glory may sing psalms of thee, and not be silent. Jehovah my God, I will praise thee for ever.

Draw me out of the net that they have hidden for me; for thou art my strength.

And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large place.

Jehovah, let me not be ashamed; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, let them be silent in Sheol.

Blessed is the man unto whom Jehovah reckoneth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile!

For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me; my moisture was turned into the drought of summer. Selah.

I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity I covered not; I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah, and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee at a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they will not reach him.

Be ye not as a horse, as a mule, which have no understanding: whose trappings must be bit and bridle, for restraint, or they will not come unto thee.

The king is not saved by the multitude of his forces; a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.

They looked unto him, and were enlightened, and their faces were not confounded.

The young lions are in need and suffer hunger; but they that seek Jehovah shall not want any good.

He keepeth all his bones; not one of them is broken.

For without cause have they hidden for me their net in a pit; without cause they have digged it for my soul.

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

Unrighteous witnesses rise up; they lay to my charge things which I know not.

But at my halting they rejoiced, and gathered together: the slanderers gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not:

Let not them that are wrongfully mine enemies rejoice over me; let them not wink with the eye that hate me without cause.

For they speak not peace; and they devise deceitful words against the quiet in the land.

Thou hast seen it, Jehovah: keep not silence; O Lord, be not far from me.

Judge me, Jehovah my God, according to thy righteousness, and let them not rejoice over me.

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

He deviseth wickedness up on his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good: he abhorreth not evil.

Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.

There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and are not able to rise.

{A Psalm of David.} Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, and be not envious of them that work unrighteousness;

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.

Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; fret not thyself: it would be only to do evil.

For yet a little while, and the wicked is not; and thou considerest his place, but he is not.

they shall not be ashamed 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 is gracious and giveth:

though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down, for Jehovah upholdeth his hand.

I have been young, and now am old, and I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed seeking bread:

for Jehovah loveth judgment, and will not forsake his saints: They are preserved for ever; but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

the law of his God is in his heart; his goings shall not slide.

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.

{A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance.} Jehovah, rebuke me not in thy wrath; neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

Lord, all my desire is before thee, and my sighing is not hid from thee.

But I, as a deaf man, hear not; and 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.

For I said, Let them not rejoice over me! When my foot slipped, they magnified themselves against me.

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

{To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.} I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a muzzle, while the wicked is before me.

Verily, man walketh in a vain show; verily 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; for thou hast done it.

Hear my prayer, Jehovah, and give ear unto my cry; be not silent at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, a sojourner, like all my fathers.

Blessed is the man that hath made Jehovah his confidence, and turneth not to the proud, and to such as turn aside to lies.

Sacrifice and oblation thou didst not desire: ears hast thou prepared me. Burnt-offering and sin-offering hast thou not demanded;

I have published righteousness in the great congregation: behold, I have not withheld my lips, Jehovah, thou knowest.

I have not hidden thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy loving-kindness and thy truth from the great congregation.

Withhold not thou, Jehovah, thy tender mercies from me; let thy loving-kindness and thy truth continually preserve me.

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.

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

My tears have been my bread day and night, while they say unto me all the day, Where is thy God?

In the day-time will Jehovah command his loving-kindness, and in the night his song shall be with me, a prayer unto the God of my life.

For not by their own sword did they take possession of the land, neither did their own arm save them; but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst delight in them.

For I will not put confidence in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.

But thou hast cast off, and put us to confusion, and dost not go forth with our armies;

Thou hast sold 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 against thy covenant:

Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy path;

Would not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.

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

Therefore will we not fear though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the heart of the seas;

God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her at the dawn of the morning.

That he should still live perpetually, and not see corruption.

Nevertheless, man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.

Be not afraid when a man becometh 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 honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.

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

I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices, or thy burnt-offerings, 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 the spirit of thy holiness from me.

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

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

Behold the man that made not God his strength, but put confidence in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his avarice.

Every one of them is gone back, they are together become corrupt: there is none that doeth good, not even one.

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

{To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments: an instruction. Of David; when the Ziphites came, and said to Saul, Is not David hiding himself with us?} O God, by thy name save me, and by thy strength do me justice.

For strangers are risen up against me, and the violent seek after my life: they have not set God before them. Selah.

{To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments: an instruction. Of David.} 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; and iniquity and mischief are in the midst of it.

Perversities are in the midst thereof; and oppression and deceit depart not from its streets.

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;

God will hear, and afflict them: he that is seated of old, (Selah) ... because there is no change in them, and they fear not God.

And thou, O God, wilt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days. But as for me, I will confide in thee.

In God will I praise his word, in God I put my confidence: I will not fear; what can flesh do unto me?

Thou countest my wanderings; put my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?

In God have I put my confidence: I will not fear; what can man do unto me?

For thou hast delivered my soul from death; wilt thou not keep my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?

{To the chief Musician. 'Destroy not.' Of David. Michtam; when he fled from Saul in the cave.} Be gracious unto me, O God, be gracious unto me; for my soul taketh refuge in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings do I take refuge, until the calamities be overpast.

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

{To the chief Musician. 'Destroy not.' Of David. Michtam.} Is righteousness indeed silent? Do ye speak it? Do ye judge with equity, ye sons of men?

Which doth not hearken to the voice of enchanters, of one charming ever so wisely.

Let them be as a snail that melteth as it passeth away; like the untimely birth of a woman, let them not see the sun.

{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.

For behold, they lie in wait for my soul; strong ones are gathered against me: not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Jehovah.
