So we, that be the people and sheep of thy pasture, shall give thee thanks forever, and will always be showing forth thy praise, from generation to generation.

{To the Chanter, upon Shoshannim, a Psalm of Asaph} Hear, O thou shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Jacob like a flock of sheep; show thyself, thou that sittest upon the Cherubim.

Thou madest room for it, and caused it to take root, so that it filled the land.

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

and the place of the vineyard that thy righthand hath planted, and the son whom thou madest so strong for thyself.

O that my people would obey me! For if Israel would walk in my ways,

Defend the poor and fatherless, see that such as be in need and necessity have right.

For lo, thine enemies make a murmuring; and they that hate thee, lift up their head.

"Come," say they, "let us root them out, that they be no more a people, and that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance."

Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek: the Philistines with them that dwell at Tyre.

Like as a fire that burneth up the wood, and as the flame that consumeth the mountains.

Make their faces ashamed, O LORD, that they may seek thy name.

And they shall know that thou, whose name is Jehovah, art only the most highest over all the earth.

Blessed are they that dwell in thy house; they will be always praising thee. Selah.

For the LORD God is a light and defense; the LORD will give grace and worship, and no good thing shall he withhold from them that live a godly life.

O LORD God of Hosts, blessed is the man that putteth his trust in thee.

Wilt thou not turn again, and quicken us, that thy people may rejoice in thee?

I will hearken what the LORD God will say concerning me; for he shall speak peace unto his people, and to his saints, that they turn not themselves unto foolishness.

For his salvation is nigh them that fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.

Preserve thou my soul, for I am holy; my God, help thy servant that putteth his trust in thee.

For thou, LORD, art good and gracious, and of great mercy unto all them that call upon thee.

Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O LORD, there is not one that can do as thou doest.

Lead me in thy way, O LORD, that I may walk in thy truth: O let my heart delight in fearing thy name.

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.

I will think upon Rahab and Babylon, with them that know me. Behold ye the Philistines also, and they of Tyre, with they of the Ethiopians; lo, there was he born.

And of Zion it shall be reported, that he was born in her; and the most high shall establish her.

The LORD shall cause it to be preached and written among the people, that he was born there. Selah.

I am counted as one of them that go down into the pit, and I am even as a man that hath no strength;

free among the dead, like unto them that lie in the grave, which be out of remembrance, and are cut away from thy hand.

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.

Dost thou show wonders among the dead? Can the Physicians raise them up again, that they may praise thee? Selah.

I am in misery, and like unto him that is at the point to die; even from my youth up, thy terrors have I suffered with a troubled mind.

For who is he among the clouds, that may be compared unto the LORD? Yea what is he among the gods, that shall be like unto the LORD?

God is greatly to be feared in the council of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.

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.

Blessed is the people, O LORD, that can rejoice in thee; they shall walk in the light of thy countenance.

Thou spakest sometime in visions unto thy saints, and saidst, "I have laid help upon one that is mighty, I have exalted one chosen out of the people.

I shall smite down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.

My covenant will I not break, nor disannull the thing that is gone out of my lips.

I have sworn once by my holiness, that I will not fail David.

All they that go by, spoil him; he is become a reproach to his neighbours.

What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? May a man deliver his own soul from the hand of hell? Selah.

Remember, LORD, the rebuke that the multitude of the people do unto thy servants, and how I have borne it in my bosom;

For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday, seeing that is passed as a watch in the night.

For when thou art angry, all our days are gone; we bring our years to an end, as it were a tale that is told.

The days of our age are threescore years and ten: and though men be so strong that they come to fourscore years, yet is their strength then but labour and sorrow; so soon passeth it away, and we are gone.

O teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

O satisfy us with thy mercy, and that soon: so shall we rejoice and be glad all the days of our life.

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

He shall defend thee under his wings, that thou mayest be safe under his feathers: his faithfulness and truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

Thou shalt not be afraid for any terror by night, nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

for the pestilence that walketh in darkness, nor for the sickness that destroyeth in the noonday.

They shall bear thee in their hands, that thou hurt not thy foot against a stone.

that the ungodly are green as grass, and that all the works of wickedness do flourish, to be destroyed forever.

Mine eye also shall see his lust of mine enemies, and mine ear shall hear his desire of the wicked that arise up against me.

that they may show how true the LORD my strength is, and that there is no unrighteousness in him.

The LORD is king, and hath put on glorious apparel; the LORD hath put on his apparel, and girded himself with strength: he hath made the round world so sure, that it cannot be moved.

The waves of the sea are mighty, and rage horribly; but yet the LORD that dwelleth on high is mightier.

He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? He that made the eye, shall not he see?

He that nurtureth the Heathen, and teacheth a man knowledge, shall not he punish?

The LORD knoweth the thoughts of men, that they are but vain.

that thou mayest give him patience in time of adversity, until the pit be digged up for the ungodly.

In the multitude of the sorrows that I had in my heart, thy comforts have refreshed my soul.

Forty years long was I grieved with that generation, and said, "They ever err in their hearts, they verily have not known my ways."

Therefore I said unto them in my wrath, that they should not enter into my rest.

As for all the gods of the Heathen, they are but Idols, but it is the LORD that made the heavens. {TYNDALE: For all the gods of the heathen are Idols; But the LORD made the heavens.}

Tell it out among the Heathen, that the LORD is king: and that it is he who hath made the round world so fast, that it can not be moved, and how that he shall judge the people righteously. Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad. {TYNDALE: He established the earth that it cannot move. The heaven rejoice and the earth be glad. And let men tell among the nations that the LORD is a king.}

Let the sea make a noise, yea and all that therein is. {TYNDALE: Let the sea thunder, and his fullness;}

Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it, let all the trees of the wood leap for joy before the LORD, {TYNDALE: And let the fields rejoice and all that is therein. Moreover, let the trees of the wood ring at the presence of the LORD:}

Confounded be all they that worship images, and delight in their idols; worship him all ye gods.

For thou, LORD, art higher than all that are in the earth; thou art exalted far above all gods.

O ye that love the LORD, see that ye hate the thing which is evil. The LORD preserveth the souls of his saints; he shall deliver them from the hand of the ungodly.

He hath remembered his mercy and truth toward the house of Israel: so that all the ends of the world see the salvation of our God.

Let the sea make a noise and all that therein is; yea, the whole world, and all that dwell therein.

He spake unto them out of the cloudy pillar; for they kept his testimonies, and the law that he gave them.

Be ye sure, that the LORD he is God; it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves. We are but his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

O let me have understanding in the ways of Godliness, until the time that thou come unto me! I will walk in my house with a perfect heart.

Mine eyes shall look for such as be faithful in the land, that they may dwell with me. Whoso leadeth a godly life, he shall be my servant.

There shall no deceitful person dwell in my house; he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.

I shall soon destroy all the ungodly that are in the land, that I may root out all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.

Hide not thy face from me in the time of my trouble; incline thine ear unto me when I call. O hear me, and that right soon.

My heart is smitten down, and withered like grass, so that I forget to eat my bread.

I watch, and am even as it were a sparrow that sitteth alone upon the housetop.

Mine enemies revile me all the day long; and they that are mad upon me are sworn together against me.

and that because of thine indignation and wrath; for thou hast taken me up, and cast me down.

This shall be written for those that come after, that the people which shall be born may praise the LORD.

that he may hear the mournings of such as be in captivity, and deliver the children that are appointed unto death,

that they may preach the name of the LORD in Zion, and his worship at Jerusalem,

{Of David} Praise the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me praise his holy name.

The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment, for all them that are oppressed with wrong.

For look how high the heaven is in comparison of the earth; so great is his mercy also toward them that fear him.

Yea, like as a father pitieth his own children, even so is the LORD merciful unto them that fear him.

For he knoweth whereof we be made, he remembereth that we are but dust;

that a man in his time is but as grass, and flourisheth as a flower of the field.

But the merciful goodness of the LORD endureth for ever and ever upon them that fear him, and his righteousness upon their children's children;

O praise the LORD ye angels of his, ye that excel in strength, ye that fulfill his commandment, and hearken unto the voice of his word.

O praise the LORD all ye his hosts, ye servants of his that do his pleasure.

Thou hast laid the foundations of the earth, that it never should move at any time.

Thou coveredst it with the deep like as with a garment, so that the waters stand above the hills.
