I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD, and thy law is my delight.

Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

My help [is] from LORD, who made heaven and earth.

LORD is thy keeper. LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.

I was glad when they said to me, Let us go to the house of LORD.

Jerusalem, that is built as a city that is compact together,

Behold, as the eyes of servants to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes [are] to LORD our God, until he has mercy upon us.

Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us, for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.

if it had not been LORD who was on our side when men rose up against us,

then they would have swallowed us up alive when their wrath was kindled against us,

then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul,

Blessed be LORD, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.

Our soul has escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.

Our help is in the name of LORD, who made heaven and earth.

Those who trust in LORD are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever.

As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so LORD is round about his people from this time forth and for evermore.

But as for such as turn aside to their crooked ways, LORD will lead them forth with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel.

LORD has done great things for us. We are glad.

Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the South.

It is vain for you to rise up early, to take rest late, to eat the bread of toil, [for] so he gives sleep to his beloved.

Lo, sons are a heritage of LORD, [and] the fruit of the womb is [a] reward.

As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the sons of youth.

Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them. They shall not be put to shame when they speak with their enemies in the gate.

Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine in the innermost parts of thy house, thy sons like olive plants round about thy table.

LORD is righteous. He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.

Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withers before it grows up,

But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou may be feared.

O Israel, hope in LORD, for with LORD there is loving kindness, and with him is plentiful redemption.

LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor my eyes lofty. Neither do I exercise myself in grand matters, or in things too wonderful for me.

Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul like a weaned child with his mother. Like a weaned child is my soul within me.

This is my resting place forever. Here I will dwell, for I have desired it.

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity!

It is like the precious oil upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard, that came down upon the skirt of his garments,

Praise ye LORD, for LORD is good. Sing praises to his name, for it is pleasant.

For I know that LORD is great, and that our LORD is above all gods.

Thy name, O LORD, [is] forever, thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.

They have ears, but they hear not, nor is there any breath in their mouths.

O give thanks to LORD, for he is good, for his loving kindness [is] forever.

O give thanks to the God of gods, for his loving kindness [is] forever.

O give thanks to LORD of lords, for his loving kindness [is] forever,

to him who alone does great wonders, for his loving kindness [is] forever,

to him who by understanding made the heavens, for his loving kindness [is] forever,

to him who spread forth the earth above the waters, for his loving kindness [is] forever,

to him who made great lights, for his loving kindness [is] forever,

the sun to rule by day, for his loving kindness [is] forever,

the moon and stars to rule by night, for his loving kindness [is] forever,

to him who smote Egypt in their firstborn, for his loving kindness [is] forever,

and brought out Israel from among them, for his loving kindness [is] forever,

with a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm, for his loving kindness [is] forever,

to him who divided the Red Sea apart, for his loving kindness [is] forever,

and made Israel to pass through the midst of it, for his loving kindness [is] forever,

but overthrew Pharaoh and his army in the Red Sea, for his loving kindness [is] forever,

to him who led his people through the wilderness, for his loving kindness [is] forever,

to him who smote great kings, for his loving kindness [is] forever,

and killed famous kings, for his loving kindness [is] forever,

Sihon king of the Amorites, for his loving kindness [is] forever,

and Og king of Bashan, for his loving kindness [is] forever,

and gave their land for a heritage, for his loving kindness [is] forever,

even a heritage to Israel his servant, for his loving kindness [is] forever,

who remembered us in our low estate, for his loving kindness [is] forever,

and has delivered us from our adversaries, for his loving kindness [is] forever,

who gives food to all flesh, for his loving kindness [is] forever.

O give thanks to the God of heaven, for his loving kindness [is] forever.

For there those who led us captive required of us songs, and those who wasted us, mirth, [saying], Sing for us one of the songs of Zion.

O daughter of Babylon, who is to be destroyed, happy shall he be who rewards thee as thou have served us.

Yea, they shall sing of the ways of LORD, for great is the glory of LORD.

For though LORD is high, yet he has respect to the lowly. But he knows the haughty from afar.

LORD will perfect that which concerns me. Thy loving kindness, O LORD, [is] forever. Forsake not the works of thine own hands.

For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou know it altogether.

[Such] knowledge is too wonderful for me. It is high, I cannot attain to it.

even the darkness hides not from thee, but the night shines as the day. The darkness and the light are both alike [to thee].

Thine eyes saw my unformed substance, and in thy book they were all written, [even] the days that were ordained, when as yet there was none of them.

How precious also are thy thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them!

and see if there is any wicked way in me. And lead me in the way everlasting.

They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent. Adders' poison is under their lips. Selah.

As for the head of those who encompass me around, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

Let my prayer be set forth as incense before thee, the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

Let a righteous man smite me, [as] a kindness. And let him reprove me, [as] oil upon the head. Let not my head refuse it. For even in their wickedness my prayer shall continue.

Look on [my] right hand, and see, for there is no man who knows me. Refuge has failed me. No man cares for my soul.

And enter not into judgment with thy servant. For in thy sight no man living is righteous.

For the enemy has persecuted my soul. He has smitten my life down to the ground. He has made me to dwell in dark places as those who have been long dead.

Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me. My heart within me is desolate.

I spread forth my hands to thee. My soul [is] as a weary land for thee. Selah.

Teach me to do thy will, for thou are my God. Thy Spirit is good, lead me in the land of uprightness.

LORD, what is man, that thou take knowledge of him? Or the son of man, that thou make account of him?

Man is like vanity. His days are as a shadow that passes away.

whose mouth speaks deceit, and whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hand of aliens, whose mouth speaks deceit, and whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

When our sons shall be as plants grown up in their youth, and our daughters as corner-stones hewn according to the fashion of a palace,

blessed [are] the people who are in such a case. Blessed are the people whose God is LORD.

Great is LORD, and greatly to be praised, and his greatness is unsearchable.

LORD is gracious, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great loving kindness.

LORD is good to all, and his tender mercies are over all his works.

Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion [is] throughout all generations.

LORD is righteous in all his ways, and gracious in all his works.

LORD is near to all those who call upon him, to all who call upon him in truth.

Put not your trust in rulers, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in LORD his God,

who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, who keeps truth forever,
