He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.

He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbor, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbor.

In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoreth them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.

He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.

But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.

Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take their names into my lips.

A Prayer of David. Hear the right, O LORD, attend to my cry, give ear to my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.

Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thy eyes behold the things that are equal.

Thou hast proved my heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I have purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.

Uphold my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.

Show thy wonderful loving-kindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them who put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them.

From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who encompass me,

Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD, who spoke to the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul: And he said, I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.

At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.

As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.

It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.

He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by my arms.

Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.

I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they have fallen under my feet.

For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.

Thou hast also given me the necks of my enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.

It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.

He delivereth me from my enemies: yes, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.

Now I know that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.

Thy hand shall find out all thy enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.

But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

All they that see me deride me: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,

He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.

But thou art he that brought me forth into life: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.

Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.

My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.

The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.

All they that are fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.

They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness to a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.

A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD'S, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul to vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

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

Also, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed who transgress without cause.

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 with them that fear him; and he will show them his covenant.

That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.

One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in his temple.

A Psalm of David. To thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou shouldst be silent to me, I should become like them that go down into the pit.

O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to thee for ever.

Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength.

I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD.

I was a reproach among all my enemies, but especially among my neighbors, and a fear to my acquaintance: they that saw me without fled from me.

My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from them that persecute me.

Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!

Be of good courage, and he will strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.

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

Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall encompass him.

Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.

Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;

The angel of the LORD encampeth around them that fear him, and delivereth them.

O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.

The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.

What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?

The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

The LORD is nigh to them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as are of a contrite spirit.

Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.

The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.

A Psalm of David. Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.

Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say to my soul, I am thy salvation.

Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.

Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.

All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like thee, who deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, even the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?

False witnesses arose; they laid to my charge things that I knew not.

I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.

Let not them that are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.

For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.

Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at my hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonor that magnify themselves against me.

Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favor my righteous cause: yes, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, who hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD. The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.

He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.

O continue thy loving-kindness to them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.

For evil doers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.

The Lord will laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.

A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.

For such as are blessed by him shall inherit the earth; and they that are cursed by him shall be cut off.

Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.

My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of my eyes, that also is gone from me.

They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.

But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.

Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.

But my enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

They also that render evil for good are my adversaries; because I follow the thing that is good.

To the chief Musician, even 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 bridle, while the wicked is before me.

LORD, make me to know my end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am.

O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more.

Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

For innumerable evils have encompassed me: my iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of my head: therefore my heart faileth me.

Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.

Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say to me, Aha, aha.

Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in the time of trouble.

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