I will bow down my ear to a parable; I will open my dark saying on the harp.

Be not afraid when one becomes rich, when the glory of his house increases;

Our God comes, and He is not silent; a fire shall devour before Him, and it shall be very stormy all around Him.

Gather My saints to Me; and those who cut My covenant by sacrifice.

Offer to God thanksgiving; and pay your vows to the Most High;

Yea, you hate to be taught, and you toss My Words behind you.

When you saw a thief, then you were pleased to be with him, and you have taken part with adulterers.

Now think of this, you who forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.

Against You, You only, have I sinned, and done evil in Your sight; that You might be justified when You speak, and be clear when You judge.

Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

Then I will teach transgressors Your ways; and sinners shall be converted to You.

Then shall You be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering; then they shall offer bulls on Your altar.

Who will give from Zion the salvation of Israel? When God brings back the captivity of His people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

To the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A contemplation. A Psalm of David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Does not David hide himself among us? Save me, O God, by Your name, and judge me by Your strength.

And I said, Who will give to me wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest.

They go around her on her walls by day and night; and evil and sorrow are in her midst.

To the Chief Musician. Concerning the silent dove, those far off. Of David, a secret treasure, when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be merciful to me, O God, for man would swallow me up; fighting daily, he presses me down.

Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, O God.

When I cry, then my enemies will be turned back. This I know, for God is with me.

In God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid of what man can do to me.

To the Chief Musician. Do not destroy. A secret treasure of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave. Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me; for my soul trusts in You; yea, in the shadow of Your wings I will make my hiding-place, until these great troubles pass by.

Be praised above the heavens, O God; let Your glory be above all the earth.

Be exalted above the heavens, O God; let Your glory be above all the earth.

Let them melt away like waters; they run off to them; he bends his arrows, let them be as though they were cut off.

Let them be as a snail goes into melting; as a miscarriage of a woman, they do not see the sun.

And You, O Jehovah, the God of Hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the nations; do not be merciful to any plotting evil. Selah.

Do not kill them, lest my people forget; scatter them by Your power and bring them down, O Jehovah our shield.

For the sin of their mouth is the word of their lips, even let them be taken in their pride; and for cursing and the lying which they speak.

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

Save with Your right hand and answer me, that Your beloved may be delivered.

You will add to the days of the king's life; his years will be for many generations.

So I will sing praise to Your name forever, so that I may daily pay my vows.

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

How long will you imagine mischief against a man? You will shatter him, all of you; you shall be like a bowing wall and a tottering fence.

My soul, be silent only to God; for my hope is from Him.

He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my strong tower; I shall not be shaken.

My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips,

They shall fall by the sword; they shall be a serving for jackals.

But the king shall rejoice in God; everyone who swears by Him shall glory; but the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped.

But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly they shall be wounded.

So they shall be confounded; their tongue falls on themselves; everyone seeing them shall flee.

The righteous shall be glad in Jehovah, and shall trust in Him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.

Blessed is the one whom You choose, and cause to come near You. He shall dwell in Your courts; we shall be satisfied with the goodness of Your house, of Your holy temple.

By awesome things in righteousness You will answer us, O God of our salvation; who are the hope of all the ends of the earth and the sea, of those far away.

The mountains are established by Your strength, banded together with might,

He rules by His power forever; His eyes behold the nations; let not the rebels lift themselves up. Selah.

O bless our God, O peoples, and make the voice of His praise to be heard;

I will go into Your house with burnt offerings; I will pay You my vows,

To the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm. A Song. May God be merciful to us, and bless us, and cause His face to shine on us. Selah.

So that Your way may be known on earth, Your salvation among all nations.

O let the nations be glad and sing for joy; for You shall judge the peoples righteously and govern the nations on earth. Selah.

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. A Song. Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered; also let those who hate Him flee before Him.

Sing to God, sing praises to His name; praise Him who rides on the heavens by His name JEHOVAH, and rejoice before Him.

You, O God, sent a plentiful rain, by which You upheld Your inheritance when it was weary.

so that your foot may be dipped in the blood of your enemies, and the tongue of your dogs in it.

Your God has commanded your strength; O God, be strong in that which You have worked out for us.

Do not let those who wait on You, O Jehovah, the God of Hosts, be ashamed for my sake; let not the ones who seek You be ashamed for my sake, O God of Israel,

Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink; let me be delivered from those who hate me, and out of the deep waters.

Let their eyes be darkened, so that they do not see; and make their loins shake without ceasing.

Let their dwelling be wasted; let none dwell in their tents.

Let them be blotted out of the Book of Life, and not be written with the righteous.

The humble shall see and be glad; and your heart shall live, you who seek God.

Let them be ashamed and turned pale, those who seek after my soul; let them be turned backward and blush, those who desire my hurt.

Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame, those who say, Aha, aha!

Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; and let those who love Your salvation say without ending, Let God be magnified.

In You, O Jehovah, I put my trust; let me never be put to shame.

Deliver me in Your righteousness, and cause me to escape; bow down Your ear to me, and save me.

Be a rock of refuge for me, to which I may always go; You have commanded to save me; for You are my Rock and my Fortress.

On You I have rested from the womb; You are He who took me out of my mother's bowels; my praise always shall be of You.

Let my mouth be filled with Your praise, with Your honor all the day.

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

Let them be ashamed; let those who are enemies of my soul be consumed; let them be covered with reproach and dishonor, those who seek my hurt.

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

Those who dwell in the wilderness shall bow before Him; and His enemies shall lick the dust.

He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence; and their blood shall be precious in His sight.

And He shall live, and to Him shall be given the gold of Sheba; and prayer shall always be made for Him; He shall bless Him all the day long.

There shall be a fullness of grain in the earth on the top of the mountains; its fruit shall shake like Lebanon, and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.

His name shall endure forever; His name shall be continued as long as the sun; and men shall be blessed in Him; all nations shall call Him blessed.

And blessed be His glorious name forever; and all the earth is filled with His glory! Amen and Amen.

But I am always with You; You have held me by my right hand.

You divide the sea by Your strength; You break the heads of the sea-monsters in the waters.

You cracked open the heads of leviathan, and gave him to be food to the people living in the wilderness.

Also I will cut off all the horns of the wicked; but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.

There He broke the fiery arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.

By Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the horse and the chariot have sunk into a sleep.

You cause judgment to be heard from Heaven; the earth feared and was still,

Vow, and pay to Jehovah your God; let all that are around Him bring presents to the Fearful One.

He shall cut off the spirit in princes; He is feared by the kings of the earth.

In the day of my trouble I sought Jehovah; my hand was poured in the night, and ceased not; my soul refused to be comforted.

Will the Lord cast off forever? And will He be favorable no more?

Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has He in anger shut up His tender mercies? Selah.

You led Your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

An instruction of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, to my law; bow down your ears to the words of my mouth.

so that the generation to come might know; sons shall be born, and they shall arise and tell their sons,

and might not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that did not set their heart aright, and whose spirit was not faithful with God.

And they sinned still more against Him, by provoking the Most High in the wilderness.

And they tempted God in their heart by asking food for their lust.

He caused an east wind to blow in the sky; and by His power He brought in the south wind.

He sent on them the heat of His anger, wrath and fury and trouble, by sending evil angels.

He also cast out the nations before them, and divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.
