Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; thou hast anointed my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Surely, goodness and loving-kindness shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of Jehovah for the length of the days.

Make me to walk in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

Good and upright is Jehovah; therefore will he instruct sinners in the way:

The meek will he guide in judgment, and the meek will he teach his way.

All the paths of Jehovah are loving-kindness and truth for such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

What man is he that feareth Jehovah? him will he instruct in the way that he should choose.

Mine eyes are ever toward Jehovah; for he will bring my feet out of the net.

Consider mine affliction and my travail, and forgive all my sins.

Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.

I will wash my hands in innocency, and will encompass thine altar, O Jehovah,

That I may cause the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and declare all thy marvellous works.

But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity. Redeem me, and be gracious unto me.

My foot standeth in an even place; in the congregations will I bless Jehovah.

If a host encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; if war rise against me, in this will I be confident.

One thing have I asked of Jehovah, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of Jehovah, and to inquire of him in his temple.

For in the day of evil he will hide me in his pavilion; in the secret of his tent will he keep me concealed: he will set me high upon a rock.

And now shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me; and I will offer in his tent sacrifices of shouts of joy: I will sing, yea, I will sing psalms unto Jehovah.

My heart said for thee, Seek ye my face. Thy face, O Jehovah, will I seek.

Deliver me not over to the will of mine adversaries; for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out violence.

For they regard not the deeds of Jehovah, nor the work of his hands: he will destroy them, and not build them up.

Jehovah is my strength and my shield; my heart confided in him, and I was helped: therefore my heart exulteth, and with my song will I praise him.

Jehovah will give strength unto his people; Jehovah will bless his people with peace.

{A Psalm of David: dedication-song of the house.} I will extol thee, Jehovah; for thou hast delivered me, and hast not made mine enemies to rejoice over me.

That my glory may sing psalms of thee, and not be silent. Jehovah my God, I will praise thee for ever.

I will be glad and rejoice in thy loving-kindness, for thou hast seen mine affliction; thou hast known the troubles of my soul,

More than to all mine oppressors, I am become exceedingly a reproach, even to my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that see me without flee from me.

Love Jehovah, all ye his saints. Jehovah preserveth the faithful, and plentifully requiteth the proud doer.

Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all ye that hope in Jehovah.

When I kept silence, my bones waxed old, through my groaning all the day long.

I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity I covered not; I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah, and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee at a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they will not reach him.

I will instruct thee and teach thee the way in which thou shalt go; I will counsel thee with mine eye upon thee.

Be ye not as a horse, as a mule, which have no understanding: whose trappings must be bit and bridle, for restraint, or they will not come unto thee.

Rejoice in Jehovah, and be glad, ye righteous; and shout for joy, all ye upright in heart.

For the word of Jehovah is right, and all his work is in faithfulness.

By the word of Jehovah were the heavens made, and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

Let all the earth fear Jehovah; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.

Jehovah looketh from the heavens; he beholdeth all the sons of men:

From the place of his habitation he looketh forth upon all the inhabitants of the earth;

He who fashioneth the hearts of them all, who considereth all their works.

{A Psalm of David; when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.} I will bless Jehovah at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

I sought Jehovah, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.

This afflicted one called, and Jehovah heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

Come, ye sons, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of Jehovah.

The righteous cry, and Jehovah heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.

Many are the adversities of the righteous, but Jehovah delivereth him out of them all:

He keepeth all his bones; not one of them is broken.

All my bones shall say, Jehovah, who is like unto thee, who deliverest the afflicted from one stronger than he, yea, the afflicted and the needy from him that spoileth him!

I will give thee thanks in the great congregation; I will praise thee among much people.

And my tongue shall talk of thy righteousness, and of thy praise, all the day.

and delight thyself in Jehovah, and he will give thee the desires of thy heart.

Commit thy way unto Jehovah, and rely upon him: he will bring it to pass;

and he will bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.

For yet a little while, and the wicked is not; and thou considerest his place, but he is not.

all the day he is gracious and lendeth, and his seed shall be a blessing.

for Jehovah loveth judgment, and will not forsake his saints: They are preserved for ever; but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

Jehovah will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.

Wait for Jehovah, and keep his way, and he will exalt thee to possess the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

And Jehovah will help them and deliver them: he will deliver them from the wicked, and save them; for they trust in him.

I am depressed; I am bowed down beyond measure; I go mourning all the day.

Lord, all my desire is before thee, and my sighing is not hid from thee.

And they that seek after my life lay snares for me; and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and meditate deceits all the day long.

For I will declare mine iniquity, I am grieved for my sin.

{To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.} I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a muzzle, while the wicked is before me.

Deliver me from all my transgressions; make me not the reproach of the foolish.

Hear my prayer, Jehovah, and give ear unto my cry; be not silent at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, a sojourner, like all my fathers.

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

{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} Blessed is he that understandeth the poor: Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil.

Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive; he shall be made happy in the land; and thou wilt not deliver him to the will of his enemies.

Jehovah will sustain him upon the bed of languishing: thou turnest all his bed in his sickness.

Mine enemies wish me evil: When will he die, and his name perish?

All that hate me whisper together against me; against me do they devise my hurt.

A thing of Belial cleaveth fast unto him; and now that he is laid down, he will rise up no more.

My tears have been my bread day and night, while they say unto me all the day, Where is thy God?

Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy cataracts; all thy breakers and thy billows are gone over me.

In the day-time will Jehovah command his loving-kindness, and in the night his song shall be with me, a prayer unto the God of my life.

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 crushing in my bones mine adversaries reproach me, while they say unto me all the day, Where is thy God?

Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto the God of the gladness of my joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God, my God.

Through thee will we push down our adversaries; through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.

For I will not put confidence in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.

In God will we boast all the day, and we will praise thy name for ever. Selah.

All the day my confusion is before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,

All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely against thy covenant:

But for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are reckoned as sheep for slaughter.

Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness; therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy companions.

Myrrh and aloes, cassia, are all thy garments; out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee glad.

And the king will desire thy beauty; for he is thy Lord, and worship thou him.

All glorious is the king's daughter within; her clothing is of wrought gold:

Instead of thy fathers shall be thy sons; princes shalt thou make them in all the earth.

I will make thy name to be remembered throughout all generations; therefore shall the peoples praise thee for ever and ever.

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

Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.

{To the chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm.} All ye peoples, clap your hands; shout unto God with the voice of triumph!

For Jehovah, the Most High, is terrible, a great king over all the earth.

For God is the King of all the earth; sing psalms with understanding.

Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.

Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces: that ye may tell it to the generation following.

For this God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide until death.
