The Heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made; in the same net which they hid privily, is their own foot taken.

The LORD is known to execute judgment; the ungodly is trapped in the work of his own hands. Selah.

The ungodly is so proud and full of indignation, that he careth not for God: neither is God in all his thoughts.

His mouth is full of cursing, deceit and fraud; under his tongue is travail and sorrow.

For he lieth waiting secretly; even as a lion lurketh he in his den, that he may ravish the poor. He doth ravish the poor when he getteth him into his net.

The LORD is King for ever and ever, and the Heathen are perished out of the land.

{To the Chanter, a Psalm of David} In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye then to my soul, that she should flee as a bird unto the hill?

The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD's seat is in heaven. His eyes consider the poor, and his eyelids try the children of men.

For the LORD is righteous, and he loveth righteousness: his countenance will behold the thing that is just.

{To the Chanter upon Sheminith, a Psalm of David} Help me, LORD, for there is not one godly man left: for the faithful are diminished from among the children of men.

Which have said, "With our tongue will we prevail; we are they that ought to speak; Who is lord over us?"

The words of the LORD are pure words: even as the silver, which from the earth is tried, and purified seven times in the fire.

Keep them therefore, O LORD, and preserve us from this generation for ever.

But my trust is in thy mercy, and my heart is joyful in thy salvation.

{To the Chanter, a Psalm of David} The fool hath said in his heart, "Tush, there is no God." They are corrupt, and become abominable in their doings; there is none that doeth good, no not one.

But they are all gone out of the way, they are all together become abominable: there is none that doeth good, no not one.

Have they no knowledge, that they are all such workers of mischief, eating up my people as it were bread, and call not upon the LORD?

There were they brought in great fear, even where no fear was; for God is in the generation of the righteous.

As for you, ye have made a mock at the counsel of the poor, because he putteth his trust in the LORD.

Even he that leadeth an uncorrupt life, and doeth the thing which is right, and speaketh the truth from his heart.

He that sitteth not by himself, but is lowly in his own eyes, and maketh much of them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth unto his neighbour, and disappointeth him not, though it were to his own hindrance.

He that hath not given his money upon usury, nor taken reward against the innocent. Whoso doeth these things shall never fall.

All my delight is upon the saints that are in the earth, and upon such as excel in virtue.

The LORD himself is the portion of mine inheritance, and of my cup; thou shalt maintain my lot.

The lot is fallen unto me in fair ground; yea I have a goodly heritage.

I have set the LORD always before me; for he is on my righthand. Therefore I shall not fall.

Wherefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth; my flesh also shall rest in hope.

Thou shalt show me the path of life; in thy presence is the fulness of joy, and at thy righthand there is pleasure for evermore.

Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; and let thine eyes look upon the thing that is equal.

Show thy marvelous loving-kindness, thou that art the Saviour of them which put their trust in thee, from such as resist thy righthand.

Keep me as the apple of an eye; hide me under the shadow of thy wings,

They lie waiting in our way on every side, watching to cast us down to the ground,

like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a lion's whelp, lurking in secret places.

From the men of thy hand, O LORD, from the men, I say, and from the evil world, which have their portion in this life, whose bellies thou fillest with thy hid treasure.

They have children at their desire, and leave the rest of their substance for their babes. But as for me, I shall behold thy presence in righteousness: and when I awake up after thy likeness, I shall be satisfied with it.

The LORD is my stony rock, and my defense, my Saviour, my God, and my might, in whom I will trust, my buckler, the horn also of my salvation, and my refuge. {TYNDALE: The LORD is my rock, my castle and my deliverer. God is my strength, and in him will I trust: my shield and the horn that defendeth me: mine high hold and refuge.}

3 I will call upon the LORD, which is worthy to be praised; so shall I be safe from mine enemies. {TYNDALE: I will praise and call on the LORD, and so shall be saved from mine enemies.}

Because I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not forsaken my God, as the wicked doth. {TYNDALE: For I kept the ways of the LORD, and did no wickedness, forsaking my God.}

With the holy thou shalt be holy, and with a perfect man thou shalt be perfect. {TYNDALE: With the holy thou shalt be holy, and with the man that is uncorrupt, thou shalt be uncorrupt.}

The way of God is an undefiled way; the word of the LORD also is tried in the fire. He is the defender of all them that put their trust in him. {TYNDALE: The way of God is undefiled, and the word of the LORD fined as gold, and he a shield to all that trust in him.}

For who is God, but the LORD? Or, who hath any strength, but our God? {TYNDALE: Who is a God save the LORD, and who mighty save our God?}

It is God that girdeth me with strength of war, and maketh my way perfect. {TYNDALE: God is my strength in war, and riddeth the way clear before me.}

He maketh my feet like hart's feet, and setteth me up on high. {TYNDALE: And maketh my feet as swift as a hind's, and setteth me fast upon my high hold.}

He teacheth my hands to fight, and mine arms shall bend even a bow of steel. {TYNDALE: And teacheth my hands to fight, that a bow of brass is too weak for mine arms.}

I will beat them as small as the dust before the wind; I will cast them out as the clay in the streets. {TYNDALE: And I will beat them as small as the dust of the earth, and will stamp them as the dirt of the street, and will spread them abroad.}

As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me, but the strange children dissemble with me. {TYNDALE: And the aliens crouched unto me, and obeyed me at a word.}

The LORD liveth: and blessed be my strong helper, and praised be the God of my salvation, {TYNDALE: The LORD live, and blessed be he that is my strength: and exalted be God the strength that saveth me.}

Even the God that seeth that I be avenged, and subdueth the people unto me. {TYNDALE: It is God that avengeth me, and bringeth down the people under me.}

It is he that delivereth me from my cruel enemies, and setteth me up against mine adversaries: thou shalt rid me from the wicked man. {TYNDALE: And delivereth me from mine enemies: thou liftest me up on high from them that rise against me, and deliverest me from the wicked men.}

There is neither speech nor language, but their voices are heard among them.

Their sound is gone out into all lands, and their words in to the ends of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,

which cometh forth as a bridegroom out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a giant to run his course.

It goeth forth from the uttermost part of the heaven, and runneth about unto the end of it again; and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

The law of the LORD is an undefiled law, converting the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, and giveth wisdom unto simple.

The statutes of the LORD are right, and rejoice the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, and giveth light unto the eyes.

The fear of the LORD is clean, and endureth forever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.

Moreover, by them is thy servant taught, and in keeping of them there is great reward.

Save, LORD, and hear us, O King of heaven, when we call upon thee.

His honour is great in thy salvation; glory and great worship shalt thou lay upon him.

For they intended mischief against thee, and imagined such a device as they are not able to perform.

But as for me, I am a worm and no man: a very scorn of men and the outcast of the people.

O go not far from me then, for trouble is hard at hand, and here is none to help me.

They gape upon me with their mouths, as it were a rampaging and a roaring lion.

I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart also in the midst of my body is even like melting wax.

My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue cleaveth to my gums, and thou shalt bring me into the dust of death.

My praise is of thee in the great congregation; my vows will I perform in the sight of them that fear him.

For the kingdom is the LORD's, and he is the governour among the people.

All such as be fat upon earth have eaten and worshipped. All they that go down into the dust shall kneel before him; and no man hath quickened his own soul.

{A Psalm of David} The LORD is my shepherd; I can want nothing.

{A Psalm of David} The earth is the LORD's, and all that therein is: the compass of the world, and all that dwell therein.

This is the generation of them that seek him, even of them that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah

Who is this King of glory? It is the LORD strong and mighty, even the LORD mighty in battle.

Who is this King of glory? Even the LORD of Hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.

For all they that hope in thee shall not be ashamed; but such as transgress without a cause shall be put to confusion.

Gracious and righteous is the LORD; therefore will he teach sinners in the way.

Them that are meek shall he guide in judgment; and such as are gentle, them shall he learn his way.

All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

For thy name's sake, O LORD, be merciful unto my sin; for it is great.

What man is he that feareth the LORD? Him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.

The secret of the LORD is among them that fear him, and he showeth them his covenant.

For thy loving-kindness is ever before mine eyes; and I will walk in thy truth.

in whose hands is wickedness, and their righthand is full of gifts.

But as for me, I will walk innocently: O deliver me, and be merciful unto me.

{A Psalm of David} The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom then should I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom then shall I be afraid?

Deliver me not over into the will of mine adversaries; for there are false witnesses risen up against me, and such as imagine mischief.

{A Psalm of David} Unto thee will I cry, O LORD, my strength; think no scorn of me, lest, if thou make as though thou hearest not, I become like them that go down into the pit.

The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart hath trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart danceth for joy, and in my song will I praise him.

The LORD is my strength, and he is the wholesome defense of his anointed.

It is the LORD that commandeth the waters: It is the glorious God that maketh the thunder. It is the LORD that ruleth the sea.

The voice of the LORD is mighty in operation; the voice of the LORD is a glorious voice.

For his wrath endureth but the twinkling of an eye, and in his pleasure is life; heaviness may well endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

But as soon as thou didst turn thy face from me, I was troubled.

What profit is there in my blood, when I go down into the pit? Shall the dust give thanks unto thee? Or shall it declare thy truth?

Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble, and mine eye is consumed for very heaviness, yea my soul and my body.

For my life is waxen old with heaviness, and my years with mourning. My strength faileth me, because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.

I am clean forgotten, as a dead man, out of mind; I am become like a broken vessel.

For I have heard the blasphemy of the multitude, and fear is on every side, while they conspire together against me, and take their counsel to take away my life.

My time is in thy hand; deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.

O how plentiful is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee, and that thou hast prepared for them that put their trust in thee, even before the sons of men!

{An Instruction of David} Blessed is he, whose unrighteousness is forgiven, and whose sin is covered.
