{To the chief Musician, Maschil, for the sons of Korah.} As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.

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

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

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

Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the people fall under thee.

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

So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.

The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.

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

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

They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled, and hasted 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 for ever. Selah.

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

That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.

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

Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine 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 never so wisely.

As a snail which melteth, 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 that judgeth in the earth.

Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear?

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

Thou wilt prolong the king's life: and his years as many generations.

So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.

To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.

They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; 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 terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:

Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.

Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.

Come and see the works of God: he is terrible 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 melteth 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 am 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 heart 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 thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.

By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise shall be continually of thee.

{A Psalm for Solomon.} Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king's son.

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

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 doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?

If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children.

As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.

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

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

Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.

Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

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

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

Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.

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

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

He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like 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 skilfulness of his hands.

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

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

So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for ever: we will shew forth thy praise to all generations.

She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.

Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?

So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.

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

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

Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.

Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.

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

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

Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.

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

I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.

The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.

Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.

He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?

The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land.

When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.

Say among the heathen that the LORD reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously.

Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.

His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.

The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory.

Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

The king's strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.

My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.

So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.

Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.

For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.

As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.

As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;

And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart.
