It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.

They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.

The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.

The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.

The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.

The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.

This is the LORD'S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.

This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

God is the LORD, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.

O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently.

I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches.

Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear.

This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.

The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes.

Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in thy law.

It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.

The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.

Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight.

LAMED. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.

Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.

I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad.

MEM. O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day.

NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law.

Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart.

Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood.

It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law.

Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.

Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.

Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth.

The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live.

Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.

Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.

I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.

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

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

The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.

{A Song of degrees of David.} I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.

Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:

Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have 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 scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.

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

Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

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

Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

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

{A Song of degrees.} They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.

As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.

As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.

The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof 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 sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.

Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.

Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

{A Song of degrees.} Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.

Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.

The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:

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

Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.

{A Song of degrees of David.} LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.

Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.

This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.

{A Song of degrees of David.} Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;

As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

Praise the LORD; for the LORD is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.

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

They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths.

They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them.

O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Who remembered us in our low estate: for his mercy endureth for ever:

And hath redeemed us from our enemies: for his mercy endureth for ever.

For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.

O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.

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

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

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.

Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

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

They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. Selah.

As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

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

Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth.

But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.

For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.

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

I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.

Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.

LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him!

Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away.

Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword.

Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood:

That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace:
