{To the chief Musician. Of David. A Psalm: a Song.} Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered, and let them that hate him flee before him.

But the righteous shall rejoice: they shall exult before God and be glad with joy.

Though ye have lain among the sheepfolds, ye shall be as wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with green gold.

Blessed be the Lord: day by day doth he load us with good, the God who is our salvation. Selah.

Terrible art thou, O God, out of thy sanctuaries, the God of Israel! He it is that giveth strength and might unto the people. Blessed be God!

Let not them that wait on thee, Lord, Jehovah of hosts, be ashamed through me; let not those that seek thee be confounded through me, O God of Israel.

Deliver me out of the mire, let me not sink; let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the depths of waters.

Draw nigh unto my soul, be its redeemer; ransom me because of mine enemies.

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

Let their habitation be desolate; let there be no dweller in their tents.

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

The meek shall see it, they shall be glad; ye that seek God, your heart shall live.

Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion that seek after my soul; let them be turned backward and confounded that take pleasure in mine adversity;

Let all those that seek thee be glad and rejoice in thee, and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified!

In thee, Jehovah, do I trust: let me never be ashamed.

Be to me a rock of habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.

On thee have I been stayed from the womb; from the bowels of my mother thou didst draw me forth: my praise shall be continually of thee.

My mouth shall be filled with thy praise, with thy glory, all the day.

O God, be not far from me; my God, hasten to my help.

Let them be ashamed, let them be consumed, that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.

My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day; for they shall be ashamed, for they shall be brought to confusion, that seek my hurt.

The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the hills, by righteousness.

In his days shall the righteous flourish, and abundance of peace till the moon be no more.

The dwellers in the desert shall bow before him, and his enemies shall lick the dust.

Yea, all kings shall bow down before him; all nations shall serve him.

He will redeem their souls from oppression and violence, and precious shall their blood be in his sight.

And he shall live; and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba; and prayer shall be made for him continually: all the day shall he be blessed.

There shall be abundance of corn in the earth, upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon; and they of the city shall bloom like the herb of the earth.

His name shall endure for ever; his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall bless themselves in him; all nations shall call him blessed.

Blessed be Jehovah Elohim, the God of Israel, who alone doeth wondrous things!

And blessed be his glorious name for ever! and let the whole earth be filled with his glory! Amen, and Amen.

If I said, I will speak thus, behold, I should be faithless to the generation of thy children.

When I thought to be able to know this, it was a grievous task in mine eyes;

Thou wilt guide me by thy counsel, and after the glory, thou wilt receive me.

Remember thine assembly, which thou hast purchased of old, which thou hast redeemed to be the portion of thine inheritance, this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.

Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength; thou didst break the heads of the monsters on the waters:

Thou didst break in pieces the heads of leviathan, thou gavest him to be meat to those that people the desert.

And all the horns of the wicked will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.

There broke he the flashings of the bow, shield and sword and battle. Selah.

Thou, thou art to be feared, and who can stand before thee when once thou art angry?

Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from the heavens; the earth feared, and was still,

Vow and pay unto Jehovah your God: let all that are round about him bring presents unto him that is to be feared.

In the day of my trouble, I sought the Lord: my hand was stretched out in the night, and slacked not; my soul refused to be comforted.

Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?

Hath God forgotten to be gracious? or hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.

Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

That the generation to come might know them, the children that should be born; that they might rise up and tell them to their children,

And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that prepared not their heart, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.

And they tempted God in their heart, by asking meat for their lust;

He caused the east wind to rise in the heavens, and by his strength he brought the south wind;

And he drove out the nations before them, and allotted them for an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

And they drew back and dealt treacherously like their fathers: they turned like a deceitful bow.

Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows made no lamentation.

Then the Lord awoke as one out of sleep, like a mighty man that shouteth aloud by reason of wine;

And he fed them according to the integrity of his heart, and led them by the skilfulness of his hands.

The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowl of the heavens, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth:

How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou be angry for ever? Shall thy jealousy burn like fire?

Wherefore should the nations say, Where is their God? Let the avenging of the blood of thy servants that is shed be known among the nations in our sight.

O God, restore us; and cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.

Restore us, O God of hosts; and cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.

Why hast thou broken down its fences, so that all who pass by the way do pluck it?

Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou hast made strong for thyself.

Restore us, O Jehovah, God of hosts; cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.

There shall no strange god be in thee, neither shalt thou worship any foreign god.

{A Song; a Psalm of Asaph.} O God, keep not silence; hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God:

They say, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, and let the name of Israel be mentioned no more.

Let them be put to shame and be dismayed for ever, and let them be confounded and perish:

Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be constantly praising thee. Selah.

Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger from generation to generation?

Be gracious unto me, O Lord; for unto thee do I call all the day.

Turn toward me, and be gracious unto me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.

Shew me a token for good, that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed; for thou, Jehovah, hast helped me and comforted me.

And of Zion it shall be said, This one and that one was born in her; and the Most High himself shall establish her.

{A Song, a Psalm for the sons of Korah. To the chief Musician. Upon Mahalath Leannoth. An instruction. Of Heman the Ezrahite.} Jehovah, God of my salvation, I have cried by day and in the night before thee.

Mine eye consumeth by reason of affliction. Upon thee, Jehovah, have I called every day; I have stretched out my hands unto thee.

Shall thy loving-kindness be declared in the grave? thy faithfulness in Destruction?

Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

For I said, Loving-kindness shall be built up for ever; in the very heavens wilt thou establish thy faithfulness.

For who in the heaven can be compared to Jehovah? who among the sons of the mighty shall be likened to Jehovah?

God is greatly to be feared in the council of the saints, and terrible for all that are round about him.

For thou art the glory of their strength; and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted.

With whom my hand shall be established; and mine arm shall strengthen him.

And my faithfulness and my loving-kindness shall be with him, and by my name shall his horn be exalted.

Once have I sworn by my holiness; I will not lie unto David:

It shall be established for ever as the moon, and the witness in the sky is firm. Selah.

All that pass by the way plunder him; he is become a reproach to his neighbours.

Remember, as regards me, what life is. Wherefore hast thou created all the children of men to be vanity?

Blessed be Jehovah for evermore! Amen, and Amen.

For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy fury are we troubled.

The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if, by reason of strength, they be fourscore years, yet their pride is labour and vanity, for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

Satisfy us early with thy loving-kindness; that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.

And let the beauty of Jehovah our God be upon us; and establish thou the work of our hands upon us: yea, the work of our hands, establish thou it.

Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, for the arrow that flieth by day,

He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honour him.

When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity flourish, it is that they may be destroyed for ever.

For lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah, for lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

But my horn shalt thou exalt like a buffalo's: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.

Jehovah reigneth, he hath clothed himself with majesty: Jehovah hath clothed himself, he hath girded himself with strength; yea, the world is established, it shall not be moved.

Understand, ye brutish among the people; and ye fools, when will ye be wise?

That thou mayest give him rest from the days of evil, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
