For your name's sake, O LORD, pardon my iniquity; for it is great.

I will wash my hands in innocence: so will I go about your altar, O LORD:

I would have fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

For you are my rock and my fortress; therefore for your name's sake lead me, and guide me.

I was a reproach among all my enemies, but especially among my neighbors, and a horror to my acquaintance: they that did see me outside fled from me.

He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap: he lays up the depth in storehouses.

O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusts in him.

What man is he that desires life, and loves many days, that he may see good?

Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am your salvation.

All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like unto you, who delivers the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that plunders him?

Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.

Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favor my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, who has pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

For with you is the fountain of life: in your light shall we see light.

Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shall you dwell in the land, and verily you shall be fed.

Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt you to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.

And he has put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.

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.

Let them be desolate as a reward for their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.

Let all those that seek you rejoice and be glad in you: let such as love your salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.

And if he comes to see me, he speaks vanity: his heart gathers iniquity to itself; when he goes abroad, he tells it.

An evil disease, say they, clings close unto him: and now that he lies down he shall rise up no more.

[To the Chief Musician. A maschil, for the Sons of Korah.] As the hart pants after the water brooks, so pants my soul after you, O God.

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

I will say unto God my rock, Why have you forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

As with a sword in my bones, my enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is your God?

Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; by which the people fall under you.

Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline your ear; forget also your own people, and your father's house;

So shall the king greatly desire your beauty: since he is your Lord, worship him.

The king's daughter is all glorious within the palace: her clothing is of woven gold.

With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king's palace.

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

They saw it, and so they marveled; they were troubled, and hastened away.

As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it forever. Selah.

According to your name, O God, so is your praise unto the ends of the earth: your right hand is full of righteousness.

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

He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.

When you saw a thief, then you consented with him, and have been partaker with adulterers.

You sit and speak against your brother; you slander your own mother's son.

The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:

God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.

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.

So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God who judges in the earth.

Behold, they bellow out with their mouths: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, does hear?

The God of my mercy shall meet me: God shall let me see my desire upon my enemies.

You will prolong the king's life: and his years as many generations.

So will I sing praise unto your name forever, that I may daily perform my vows.

To see your power and your glory, so as I have seen you in the sanctuary.

They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they talk of laying snares secretly; they say, Who shall see them?

So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.

By awesome deeds in righteousness will you answer us, O God of our salvation; who is the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:

You visit the earth, and water it: you greatly enrich it with the river of God, which is full of water: you prepare them grain, when you have so provided for it.

Say unto God, How awesome are you in your works! through the greatness of your power shall your enemies submit themselves unto you.

Come and see the works of God: he is awesome in his doing toward the children of men.

He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.

As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.

The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea:

I have become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children.

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

The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your hearts shall live that seek God.

Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.

Let all those that seek you rejoice and be glad in you: and let such as love your salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.

By you have I been upheld from birth: you are he that took me out of my mother's womb: my praise shall be continually of you.

[A Psalm of Solomon.] Give the king your judgments, O God, and your righteousness unto the king's son.

In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endures.

He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.

For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

And they say, How does God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?

If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I would have been untrue to the generation of your children.

As a dream when one awakes; so, O Lord, when you awake, you shall despise their image.

So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before you.

We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knows how long.

You did divide the sea by your strength: you broke the heads of the serpents in the waters.

You hold my eyes from closing: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

Your way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?

The waters saw you, O God, the waters saw you; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled.

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

He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand up as a heap.

Therefore the LORD heard this, and was angry: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;

He rained meat also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls as the sand of the sea:

So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;

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

So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men;

And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy's hand.

So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands.

Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of your name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for your name's sake.

Why should the nations say, Where is their God? let him be known among the nations in our sight by the revenging of the blood of your servants which is shed.

So we your people and sheep of your pasture will give you thanks forever: we will show forth your praise to all generations.

It sent out its boughs unto the sea, and its branches unto the river.

Why have you then broken down its hedges, so that all they who pass by the way do pluck its fruit?

So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels.

So persecute them with your tempest, and make them afraid with your storm.

Show me a sign for good; that they who hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because you, LORD, have helped me, and comforted me.

You rule the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, you still them.

I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.

What man is he that lives, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.

You turn man to destruction; and say, Return, you children of men.

Who knows the power of your anger? even according to your fear, so is your wrath.

So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
