Thou hast proved and visited mine heart in the night season; thou hast tried me, and shalt find no wickedness in me, for I am utterly purposed that my mouth shall not offend.

Thou hast given me the defense of thy salvation; thy right hand also shall hold me up, and thy loving correction shall make me great. {TYNDALE: And thou hast saved me with thy shield, and keptest me ever in meekness.}

Thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle; thou hast thrown them all down under me, that rose up against me. {TYNDALE: And thou compassedest me about with might to battle, and madest them that rose against me to stoop under me.}

Thou hast made mine enemies also to turn their backs upon me, and I shall destroy them that hate me. {TYNDALE: And thou madest mine enemies to turn their backs to me, and them that hated me, and I destroyed them.}

Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not denied him the request of his lips. Selah.

{To the Chanter, upon Aijeleth of the dawning, a Psalm of David} My God, my God: why hast thou forsaken me, and art so far from my health and from the words of my complaint?

But be not thou far from me, O LORD; thou art my succor. Haste thee to help me.

O hide not thou thy face from me, nor cast thy servant away in displeasure. Thou hast been my succor; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God my Saviour.

{A Psalm and song of the dedication of the house of David} I will magnify thee, O LORD; for thou hast set me up, and not suffered my foes to triumph over me.

O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

Thou, LORD, hast brought my soul out of hell: thou hast kept my life from them that go down to the pit.

And in my prosperity I said, "I shall never be removed." And why? Thou, LORD, of thy goodness, hast made my hill so strong.

Thou hast turned my heaviness into joy; thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness.

Bow down thine ear to me; make haste to deliver me. And be thou my strong rock, and a house of defense, that thou mayest save me.

Into thy hands I commend my spirit; for thou hast redeemed me, O LORD, thou God of truth.

I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy; for thou hast considered my trouble,

and hast shut me up into the hand of the enemy; but hast set my feet in a large room.

O how plentiful is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee, and that thou hast prepared for them that put their trust in thee, even before the sons of men!

And when I made haste, I said, "I am cast out of the sight of thine eyes." Nevertheless, thou heardest the voice of my prayer, when I cried unto thee.

Haste thee to help me, O LORD God of my salvation.

Behold, thou hast made my days a span long, and mine age is even as nothing in respect of thee; and verily every man living is altogether vanity. Selah

O LORD my God, great are the wondrous works which thou hast done, like as be also thy thoughts, which are to us-ward; and yet there is no man that ordereth them unto thee. If I should declare them, and speak of them, they should be more than I am able to express.

Sacrifice and meat-offering thou wouldest not, but mine ears hast thou opened. Burnt-offerings and sacrifice for sin hast thou not required.

O LORD, let it be thy pleasure to deliver me; make haste, O LORD, to help me.

Thou hast upholden me because of my innocency, and set me before thy face forever.

I will say unto God my strength, "Why hast thou forgotten me? Why go I thus heavily, while the enemy oppresseth me?"

For thou art the God of my strength; why hast thou put me from thee? And why go I so heavily, while the enemy oppresseth me?

{To the Chanter, an instruction of the sons of Korah} We have heard with our ears, O God; our fathers have told us what thou hast done in their time of old.

How thou hast driven out the Heathen with thy hand, and planted them in; how thou hast destroyed the nations and cast them out.

no, not when thou hast smitten us into the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death

Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; wherefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

whereas thou hatest to be reformed, and hast cast my words behind thee?

This thou doest, while I hold my tongue: and thinkest wickedly that I am even such a one as thyself; but I will reprove thee, and set before thee the things that thou hast done.

But lo, thou hast a pleasure in the truth, and hast showed me secret wisdom.

Oh let me hear of joy and gladness, that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

I will always give thanks unto thee, for that thou hast done: and I will hope in thy name, for thy saints like it well.

They are afraid where no fear is; for God breaketh the bones of them that besiege thee. Thou hast put them to confusion, because God hath despised them.

For thou hast delivered me out of all my trouble, so that mine eye seeth his desire upon mine enemies.

I would make haste to escape from the stormy wind and tempest."

For thou hast delivered my soul from death, and my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living.

As for me, I will sing of thy power, and praise thy mercy betimes in the morning: for thou hast been my defense and refuge in the day of my trouble.

{To the chanter, upon the rose of witness, Michtam of David, for to teach: when he fought against Mesopotamia, and Syria of Zoba: and when Joab turned back, and slew twelve thousand Edomites in the valley of Salt} O God, thou hast cast us out and scattered us abroad; thou that hast been so sore displeased at us, comfort us again.

Thou that hast moved the land, and divided it; heal the sores thereof, for it shaketh.

Thou hast showed thy people heavy things; thou hast given us a drink of deadly wine.

Yet hast thou given a token, for such as fear thee, that they may triumph because of the truth. Selah.

Shall not thou do it, O God, thou that hast cast us out? Wilt not thou, O God, go out with our hosts?

For thou, O LORD, hast heard my desires, and hast given a heritage unto those that fear thy name.

For thou hast been my helper, and under the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

For thou, O God, hast proved us; thou hast tried us like as silver is tried.

Thou hast brought us into captivity, and laid trouble upon our loins.

Thou hast suffered men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, and thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.

Thy congregation shall dwell therein; for thou, O God, hast of thy goodness prepared for the poor.

Thou art gone up on high; thou hast led captivity captive, and received gifts for men, yea, even for thine enemies, that the LORD God might dwell among them.

Thy God hath committed strength unto thee; establish the thing, O God, that thou hast wrought in us,

Hide not thy face from thy servant, for I am in trouble; O haste thee, and hear me.

For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk how they may vex them whom thou hast wounded.

{To the Chanter, of David, to bring remembrance} Haste thee, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O LORD.

As for me, I am poor and in misery; haste thee unto me, O God. Thou art my help, my redeemer, and my God: O make no long tarrying.

Be thou my stronghold, whereunto I may always resort; thou hast promised to help me, for thou art my house of defense and my castle.

Go not far from me, O God; my God, haste thee to help me.

Thou, O God, hast taught me from my youth up until now; therefore will I tell of thy wondrous works.

Thy righteousness, O God, is very high, and great things are they that thou hast done; O God, who is like unto thee?

O what great troubles and adversities hast thou showed me! And yet didst thou turn and refresh me; yea, and broughtest me from the deep of the earth again.

Thou hast brought me to great honour, and comforted me on every side.

My lips would fain sing praises unto thee; and so would my soul whom thou hast delivered.

Namely, how thou hast set them in a slippery places, that thou mayest cast them down headlong and destroy them.

O think upon thy congregation, whom thou hast purchased, and redeemed of old; the staff of thine inheritance, whom thou hast redeemed, even this hill of Zion wherein thou dwellest.

The day is thine. The night is thine. Thou hast prepared the lights and the sun.

Thou hast set all the borders of the earth; thou hast made both summer and winter.

Thou art the God that doest wonders, and hast declared thy power among the people.

Thou, with thine arm, hast delivered thy people, even the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.

Thou hast fed them with the bread of tears, yea thou hast given them plenteousness of tears to drink.

Thou hast made us a very strife unto our neighbours, and our enemies laugh us to scorn.

Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt; thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.

Why hast thou then broken down her hedge, that all they which go by, pluck off her grapes?

{To the Chanter, a Psalm of the sons of Korah} LORD, thou art become gracious unto thy land; thou hast turned away the captivity of Jacob.

Thou hast forgiven the offense of thy people, and covered all their sins. Selah.

Thou hast taken away all thy displeasure, and turned thyself from thy wrathful indignation.

All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O LORD, and shall glorify thy name.

For great is thy mercy toward me; and thou hast delivered my soul from the nethermost hell.

Show some token upon me for good, that they which hate me may see it and be ashamed; because thou, LORD, hast helped me, and comforted me.

Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in a place of darkness and in the deep.

Thine indignation lieth hard upon me, and thou hast vexed me with all thy floods. Selah.

Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me, and made me to be abhorred of them. I am so fast in prison that I cannot get forth.

My lovers and friends hast thou put away from me, and hid mine acquaintance out of my sight.

Thou hast subdued Egypt, like one that is wounded; thou scatterest thine enemies abroad with thy mighty arm.

The heavens are thine. The earth also is thine; thou hast laid the foundation of the round world and all that therein is.

Thou hast made the north and the south, Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.

Thou hast a mighty arm; strong is thy hand, and high is thy righthand.

But thou hast abhorred and forsaken thine annointed, and art displeased at him.

Thou hast broken the covenant of thy servant, and cast his crown to the ground.

Thou hast overthrown all his hedges, and broken down his strongholds.

Thou hast set up the righthand of his enemies, and made all his adversaries to rejoice.

Thou hast taken away the strength of his sword, and givest him not victory in the battle.

Thou hast put out his glory, and cast his throne down to the ground.

The days of his youth hast thou shortened, and covered him with dishonour. Selah.

O remember how short my time is; hast thou made all men for nought?

{A Prayer of Moses the man of God} LORD, thou hast been our refuge, from one generation to another.

Thou hast set our misdeeds before thee, and our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.

Comfort us again, now after the time that thou hast plagued us, and for the years wherein we have suffered adversity.
