For innumerable evils have surrounded me: my iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of my head: therefore my heart fails me.

The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and you will not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.

By this I know that you favor me, because my enemy does not triumph over me.

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

Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.

For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but your right hand, and your arm, and the light of your countenance, because you had favor unto them.

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

But you have cast off, and put us to shame; and go not forth with our armies.

You sell your people for nothing, and do not increase your wealth by their price.

All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten you, neither have we dealt falsely in your covenant.

Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from your way;

Shall not God search this out? for he knows the secrets of the heart.

Awake, why sleep you, O Lord? arise, cast us not off forever.

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

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

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

Nevertheless man being in honor abides not: he is like the beasts that perish.

Be not afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;

For when he dies he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.

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

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

I will not reprove you for your sacrifices or your burnt offerings, to have been continually before me.

If I were hungry, I would not tell you: for the world is mine, and the fullness thereof.

Cast me not away from your presence; and take not your holy Spirit from me.

For you desire not sacrifice; else would I give it: you delight not in burnt offering.

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, you will 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 altogether become filthy; there is none that does good, no, not one.

Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God.

[To the Chief Musician on neginoth. A maschil, a Psalm of David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Does not David hide himself with us?] Save me, O God, by your name, and judge me by your strength.

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

[To the Chief Musician on neginoth, a maschil. A Song of David.] Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not yourself from my supplication.

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

Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her 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 shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abides of old. Selah. Because they do not change, therefore they fear not God.

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

In God, I will praise his word, in God, I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.

You number my wanderings: put you my tears into your bottle: are they not in your book?

In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.

For you have delivered my soul from death: will not you deliver 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 dug a pit before me, into the midst of which they are fallen themselves. Selah.

Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming ever so wisely.

As a snail who melts, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.

For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD.

You therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to punish all the nations: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah.

Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by your power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield.

Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God rules in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah.

Let them wander up and down for food, and growl if they are not satisfied.

Will not you, O God, who had cast us off? and you, O God, who did not go out with our armies?

He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved.

He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defense; I shall not be moved.

Trust not in oppression, and hope not vainly in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

When I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the night watches.

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

He rules by his power forever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.

Who holds our soul in life, and allows not our feet to be moved.

You brought us into the net; you laid affliction upon our backs.

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

Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.

They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head: they that would destroy me, being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.

O God, you know my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from you.

Let not them that wait on you, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek you be disgraced for my sake, 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 floodwater overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut its mouth upon me.

And hide not your face from your servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.

Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.

Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into your righteousness.

Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.

For the LORD hears the poor, and despises not his prisoners.

Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength fails.

O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.

My mouth shall show forth your righteousness and your salvation all the day; for I know not the limits thereof.

Now also when I am old and gray headed, O God, forsake me not; until I have showed your strength unto this generation, and your power 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 knows how long.

The day is yours, the night also is yours: you have prepared the light and the sun.

O deliver not the soul of your turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congregation of your poor forever.

O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise your name.

Forget not the voice of your enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against you increases continually.

I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.

In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted.

I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with my own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.

Your way is in the sea, and your path in the great waters, and your footsteps are not known.

We will not hide them from their children, showing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he has done.

That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:

And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not steadfast with God.

They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;

In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.

Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:

They were not separated from their desire. But while their food was yet in their mouths,

For all this they sinned still, and believed not despite his wondrous works.

For their heart was not right with him, neither were they steadfast in his covenant.

But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.

For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passes away, and comes not again.

They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy.

And had turned their rivers into blood; and their streams, that they could not drink.

He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;

And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
