Thou hast set at nought all them that err from thy statutes; For their deceit is falsehood.

It is time for Jehovah to work; For they have made void thy law.

Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon 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 truth.

Salvation is far from the wicked; For they seek not thy statutes.

The sum of thy word is truth; And every one of thy righteous ordinances endureth for ever.

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

I have longed for thy salvation, O Jehovah; And thy law is my delight.

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

Jehovah is thy keeper: Jehovah is thy shade upon thy right hand.

I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go unto the house of Jehovah.

Jerusalem, that art builded As a city that is compact together;

Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their master, As the eyes of a maid unto the hand of her mistress; So our eyes look unto Jehovah our God, Until he have mercy upon us.

Have mercy upon us, O Jehovah, have mercy upon us; For we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

Our soul is exceedingly filled With the scoffing of those that are at ease, And with the contempt of the proud.

If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, When men rose up against us;

Then they had swallowed us up alive, When their wrath was kindled against us;

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

Blessed be Jehovah, 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 Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth.

They that trust in Jehovah Are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abideth for ever.

As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, So Jehovah is round about his people From this time forth and for evermore.

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

Jehovah hath done great things for us, Whereof we are glad.

Turn again our captivity, O Jehovah, 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 giveth unto his beloved sleep.

Lo, children are a heritage of Jehovah; And the fruit of the womb is his reward.

As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, So are the children of youth.

Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: They shall not be put to shame, When they speak with their enemies in the gate.

Blessed is every one that feareth Jehovah, That walketh in his ways.

Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine, In the innermost parts of thy house; Thy children like olive plants, Round about thy table.

Jehovah is righteous: He hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, Which withereth before it groweth up;

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

O Israel, hope in Jehovah; For with Jehovah there is lovingkindness, And with him is plenteous redemption.

Jehovah, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty; Neither do I exercise myself in great 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 for ever: Here will I dwell; for I have desired it.

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren 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 Jehovah; for Jehovah is good: Sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.

For I know that Jehovah 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.

Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.

Who remembered us in our low estate; For his lovingkindness endureth for ever;

And hath delivered us from our adversaries; For his lovingkindness endureth for ever:

For there they that led us captive required of us songs, And they that wasted us required of us mirth,'saying , Sing us one of the songs of Zion.

O daughter of Babylon, that art to be destroyed, Happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee As thou hast served us.

Yea, they shall sing of the ways of Jehovah; For great is the glory of Jehovah.

For though Jehovah is high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly; But the haughty he knoweth from afar.

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

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

Even 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 mine unformed substance; And in thy book they were all written, Even the days that were ordained for me , 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 tongue 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 as incense before thee; The lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

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

As when one ploweth and cleaveth the earth, Our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol.

Look on my right hand, and see; For there is no man that knoweth me: Refuge hath failed me; No man careth for my soul.

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

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

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

I spread forth my hands unto thee: My soul thirsteth after thee, as a weary land. Selah

Teach me to do thy will; For thou art my God: Thy Spirit is good; Lead me in the land of uprightness.

Jehovah, 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 deceit, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hand of aliens, Whose mouth speaketh 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 after the fashion of a palace;

When our oxen are well laden; When there is no breaking in, and no going forth, And no outcry in our streets:

Happy is the people that is in such a case; Yea , happy is the people whose God is Jehovah.

Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised; And his greatness is unsearchable.

Jehovah is gracious, and merciful; Slow to anger, and of great lovingkindness.

Jehovah is good to all; And his tender mercies are over all his works.

Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.

Jehovah is righteous in all his ways, And gracious in all his works.

Jehovah is nigh unto all them that call upon him, To all that call upon him in truth.

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

Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, Whose hope is in Jehovah his God:

Who made heaven and earth, The sea, and all that in them is; Who keepeth truth for ever;

Praise ye Jehovah; For it is good to sing praises unto our God; For it is pleasant, and praise is comely.

Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite.

He casteth forth his ice like morsels: Who can stand before his cold?

He hath not dealt so with any nation; And as for his ordinances, they have not known them. Praise ye Jehovah.

Let them praise the name of Jehovah; For his name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and the heavens.

To receive instruction in wise dealing, In righteousness and justice and equity;

That the wise man may hear, and increase in learning; And that the man of understanding may attain unto sound counsels:

To understand a proverb, and a figure, The words of the wise, and their dark sayings.

The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge; But the foolish despise wisdom and instruction.

If they say, Come with us, Let us lay wait for blood; Let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause;

Let us swallow them up alive as Sheol, And whole, as those that go down into the pit;

Thou shalt cast thy lot among us; We will all have one purse:

For in vain is the net spread In the sight of any bird:

So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; It taketh away the life of the owners thereof.

When your fear cometh as a storm, And your calamity cometh on as a whirlwind; When distress and anguish come upon you.

But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell securely, And shall be quiet without fear of evil.
