{To the Chanter, Destroy Not, Michtam of David, when Saul sent to watch the house, to the intent to kill him} Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God, and defend me from them that rise up against me.

{To the Chanter, for by Jeduthun, a Psalm of David} My soul truly waiteth still upon God; for of him cometh my salvation.

Their device is only how to put him out, whom God will exalt; their delight is in lies. They give good words with their mouth, but curse with their heart. Selah.

O put your trust in him always, ye people; pour out your hearts before him, for God is our hope. Selah.

But the king shall rejoice in God; all they that swear by him shall be commended, for the mouth of liars shall be stopped.

That they may privily hurt the innocent, and suddenly hit him without any fear.

The righteous shall rejoice in the LORD, and put his trust in him; and all they that are true of heart, shall be glad.

I called unto him with my mouth, and gave him praises with my tongue.

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

{To the Chanter, a Psalm and song of David} Let God arise, and let his enemies be scattered; let them also that hate him flee before him.

O sing unto God, sing praises to his name; magnify him that rideth upon the heavens, as it were upon a horse. Praise him in his name Jah, and rejoice before him.

Why hop ye so, ye high hills? This is God's hill, in the which it pleaseth him to dwell. Yea, the LORD will abide in it forever.

For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk how they may vex them whom thou hast wounded.

Let heaven and earth praise him, the sea, and all that moveth therein.

They that dwell in the wilderness shall kneel before him, and his enemies shall lick the dust.

In the time of my trouble I sought the LORD, I held up mine hands to him in the night season, for my soul refused all other comfort.

Yet for all this they sinned more against him, and provoked the most highest in the wilderness.

When he slew them, they sought him, and turned them early, and inquired after God.

Nevertheless, they did but flatter him with their mouths, and dissembled with him in their tongues.

For their heart was not whole with him, neither continued they steadfast in his covenant.

O how oft did they grieve him in the wilderness? How many a time did they provoke him in the desert?

And so they grieved him with their high places, and provoked him with their images.

He chose David also his servant, and took him away from the sheepfolds.

As he was following the ewes great with young, he took him, that he might feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.

And I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.

My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.

O magnify the LORD our God, and worship him upon his holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy.

O let your songs be of him; praise him, and let your talking be of all his wondrous works.

until the time that his word came, and until the word of the LORD had tried him.

Then sent the king and caused him to be delivered; the prince of the people had let him go.

He made him LORD of his house, and ruler of all his substance,

Then believed they in his word, and sang praise unto him.

So he said he would have destroyed them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in that gap; to turn away his wrathful indignation, lest he should destroy them.

Thus they provoked him unto anger with their own inventions; and the plague was great among them.

And that was counted unto him for righteousness, among all posterities for evermore.

They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that he punished Moses for their sakes,

Many a time did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their own inventions, and were brought down in their wickedness.

- That they would offer unto him the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and tell out his works with gladness!

- That they would exalt him in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the seat of the elders,

yet helpeth he the poor out of misery, and maketh him a household like a flock of sheep.

Set an ungodly man to be ruler over him, and let Satan stand at his righthand.

When sentence is given upon him, let him be condemned; and let his prayer be turned into sin.

Let there be no man to pity him, nor to have compassion on his fatherless children.

and that, because his mind was not to do good, but persecuted the poor helpless, and him that was vexed at the heart, to slay him.

His delight was in cursing, and therefore shall it happen unto him; he loved not blessing, therefore shall it be far from him.

Let it be unto him as the cloak that he hath on him, and as the girdle that he is girded withal.

As for me, I will give thanks unto the LORD with my mouth, and praise him among the multitude;

for he standeth at the righthand of the poor, to save him from such as condemn his soul.

He giveth meat unto them that fear him; he is ever mindful of his covenant.

The ungodly shall see it, and it shall grieve him; he shall gnash with his teeth, and consume away, and the desire of the ungodly shall perish.

that he may set him among the princes, even among the princes of his people.

As for our God, he is in heaven; he doth whatsoever it pleaseth him.
