When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.

Thy mouth thou hast sent forth with evil, And thy tongue joineth deceit together,

These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.

Lo, truth Thou hast desired in the inward parts, And in the hidden part Wisdom Thou causest me to know.

Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

For thou delightest not in sacrifice; else would I give it: Thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering.

Then you will delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt offerings and in whole burnt offerings. Then they will offer bulls on your altar. For the Chief Musician. A contemplation by David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, "David has come to Abimelech's house."

For the music director; a well-written song by David. It was written when Doeg the Edomite went and informed Saul: "David has arrived at the home of Ahimelech." Why do you boast about your evil plans, O powerful man? God's loyal love protects me all day long!

Thou hast loved evil rather than good, lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.

Thou hast loved all devouring words, O deceitful tongue!

I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name; for it is good before thy saints.

The [empty-headed] fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt and evil, and have committed repulsive injustice;
There is no one who does good.

God looks down from heaven upon the children of humankind to see whether there is one who has insight, one who seeks God.

Every one of them has turned aside and fallen away;
Together they have become filthy and corrupt;
There is no one who does good, no, not even one.

There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them.

For He has rescued me from every trouble,
And my eye has looked with satisfaction (triumph) on my enemies.

My heart is deeply wounded, and the fear of death has come on me.

Fear and trembling grip me;
horror has overwhelmed me.

For it is not an enemy who taunts me—
Then I could bear it;
Nor is it one who has hated me who insolently exalts himself against me—
Then I could hide from him.

He has redeemed my life in peace from the battle that was against me,
For there were many against me.

God will hear and humble them,
Even He who sits enthroned from old— Selah.
Because in them there has been no change [of heart],
And they do not fear God [at all].

He [my companion] has put out his hands against those who were at peace with him;
He has broken his covenant [of friendship and loyalty].

Be gracious to me, O God, because humankind has trampled me; fighting all the day he oppresses me.

My wandering Thou hast counted, Thou -- place Thou my tear in Thy bottle, Are they not in Thy book?

My enemies will retreat when I call on you. This has been my experience, because God is with me.

For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?

Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me, for my soul takes refuge in you. Yes, in the shadow of your wings, I will take refuge, until disaster has passed.

Let them be as a snail which melts away (secretes slime) as it goes along,
Like the miscarriage of a woman which never sees the sun.

But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.

{To the chief Musician upon Shushaneduth, Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aramnaharaim and with Aramzobah, when Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the valley of salt twelve thousand.} O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.

Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.

Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment.

Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.

God has said in his holy place, I will be glad: I will make a division of Shechem, and the valley of Succoth will be measured out.

God has spoken in His holiness [in His promises]:
“I will rejoice, I will divide [the land of] Shechem and measure out the Valley of Succoth [west to east].

Who will bring me into the strong city? Who has led me to Edom?

Hast not thou, O God, cast us off? And thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.

For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.

For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.

God has spoken once,
Twice I have heard this:
That power belongs to God.

Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

Then everyone will fear
and will tell about God’s work,
for they will understand what He has done.

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.

Thou hast crowned the year of Thy goodness, And Thy paths drop fatness.

Who keeps us among the living,
And does not allow our feet to slip or stumble.

For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.

Thou hast brought us into a net, Thou hast placed pressure on our loins.

Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.

Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth has spoken, when I was in trouble.

Come and hear, all who fear God [and worship Him with awe-inspired reverence and obedience],
And I will tell what He has done for me.

But certainly God has heard [me];
He has given heed to the voice of my prayer.

Blessed be God,
Who has not turned away my prayer
Nor His lovingkindness from me.

The earth has yielded its harvest [as evidence of His approval];
God, our God, blesses us.

A shower of free-will gifts thou shakest out, O God. Thine inheritance, when it hath been weary, Thou hast established it.

Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor.

Why do you look with envy, mountains with many peaks,
At the mountain [of the city of Zion] which God has desired for His dwelling place?
Yes, the Lord will dwell there forever.

The war-carriage of God is among Israel's thousands; the Lord has come from Sinai to the holy place.

Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them.

That thou mayest dip thy foot in blood: the tongue of thy dogs has its portion from enemies.

Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.

Rebuke the beasts in the reeds,
The herd of bulls with the calves of the peoples,
Trampling under foot the pieces of silver;
He has scattered the peoples who delight in war.

For the choir director: according to “The Lilies.” Davidic.Save me, God,
for the water has risen to my neck.

O God, Thou -- Thou hast known Concerning my overturn, And my desolations from Thee have not been hid.

Because on account of you I have borne reproach; disgrace has covered my face.

For zeal for Your house has consumed me,
And the [mocking] insults of those who insult You have fallen on me.

Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.

Reproach has broken my heart and I am sick. And I hoped for sympathy, but there was none, and for comforters, but I found none.

For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.

I will give praise to the name of God with a song; I will give glory to him for what he has done.

And it will please the Lord better than an ox
Or a young bull with horns and hoofs.

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

A very wonder, have I been unto many, Seeing that, thou, hast been my strong refuge,

Saying, “God has abandoned him;
Pursue and seize him, for there is no one to rescue him.”

O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.

Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee!

Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.

Thou hast brought me to great honour, and comforted me on every side.

My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.

For he will rescue the needy when he cries for help,
The afflicted and abused also, and him who has no helper.

Only, in slippery places Thou dost set them, Thou hast caused them to fall to desolations.

Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.

For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.

{Maschil of Asaph.} O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?

Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.

Turn your footsteps [quickly] toward the perpetual ruins;
The enemy has damaged everything within the sanctuary.

But God [has been] my king from long ago, working salvation in the midst of the earth.

Thou hast broken by Thy strength a sea -monster, Thou hast shivered Heads of dragons by the waters,

Thou hast broken the heads of leviathan, Thou makest him food, For the people of the dry places.

Thou hast cleaved a fountain and a stream, Thou hast dried up perennial flowings.

The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun.

Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter.

Remember this, O Lord, the enemy has scoffed,
And a foolish and impious people has spurned Your name.

“When I select an appointed time,
I will judge with equity,” [says the Lord].

For the music director; to be accompanied by stringed instruments; a psalm of Asaph, a song. God has revealed himself in Judah; in Israel his reputation is great.

His den has been in Salem, his lair in Zion.

Gone is the wealth of the strong, their last sleep has overcome them; the men of war have become feeble.

At the voice of your wrath, O God of Jacob, deep sleep has overcome carriage and horse.

Thou, fearful art Thou, And who doth stand before Thee, Since Thou hast been angry!

From heaven Thou hast sounded judgment, Earth hath feared, and hath been still,

Thou hast taken hold of the watches of mine eyes, I have been moved, and I speak not.
