They that fear thee, will be glad when they see me, because I put my trust in thy word.

I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou of very faithfulness hast caused me to be troubled.

O let thy merciful kindness be my comfort, according to the promise that thou hast made unto thy servant.

O let thy loving mercies come unto me, that I may live; for thy law is my delight.

O let my heart be sound in thy statutes, that I be not ashamed.

I see that all things come to an end, but thy commandment is exceeding broad.

I refrain my feet from every evil way, that I may keep thy words.

{Samekh} I hate them that imagine evil things; but thy law do I love.

O establish me according unto thy word, that I may live; and let me not be disappointed of my hope.

Thou treadest down all them that depart from thy statutes, for they imagine but deceit.

{Ayin} I deal with the thing that is lawful and right; O give me not over unto mine oppressors.

Be thou surety for thy servant to do him good, that the proud do me no wrong.

I am thy servant; O grant me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies.

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

The testimonies that thou hast commanded are exceeding righteous and true.

Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might be occupied in thy words.

They draw nigh that of malice persecute me, and are far from thy law.

As concerning thy testimonies, I have known ever since the beginning that thou hast grounded them for ever.

Many there are that trouble me, and persecute me; yet do I not swerve from thy testimonies.

I am as glad of thy word, as one that findeth great spoils.

Great is the peace that they have which love thy law, and they are not offended at it.

O let my soul live, and praise thee, that thy judgments may help me.

I go astray, like a sheep that is lost; O seek thy servant, for I do not forget thy commandments.

Woe is me, that I am constrained to dwell with Meshech, and to have my habitation among the tents of Kedar!

My soul hath long dwelt among them that be enemies unto peace.

He will not suffer thy foot to be moved, and he that keepeth thee will not sleep.

Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

so that the sun shall not burn thee by day, neither the moon by night.

The LORD preserveth thee from all evil; yea, it is the LORD that keepeth thy soul.

Jerusalem is built as a city, that is at unity in itself.

O pray for the peace of Jerusalem; they shall prosper that love thee.

{A song of the stairs} Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.

{A song of the stairs} They that put their trust in the LORD are even as the mount Zion, which may not be removed, but standeth fast forever.

Do well, O LORD, unto those that be good and true of heart.

{A song of the stairs} When the LORD turneth again the captivity of Zion, then were we like unto them that dream.

They that sow in tears, shall reap in joy.

He that now goeth on his way weeping, and beareth forth good seed, shall doubtless come again with joy, and bring his sheaves with him.

{A song of the stairs} Except the LORD build the house, their labour is but lost that build it. Except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

It is but lost labour that ye rise up early, and take no rest, but eat the bread of carefulness; for so he giveth his beloved sleep.

Lo, children, and the fruit of the womb are a heritage and gift, that cometh of the LORD.

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

{A song of the stairs} Blessed are all they that fear the LORD, and walk in his ways.

Lo, thus shall the man be blessed, that feareth the LORD.

The LORD shall so bless thee out of Zion, that thou shalt see Jerusalem in prosperity all thy life long.

Yea, that thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel.

All them that have an evil will to Zion shall be confounded, and made to turn back from it.

whereof the mower filleth not his hand, neither he that bindeth up the sheaves his bosom.

So that they which go by, say not so much as, "the LORD prosper you, we wish you good luck in the name of the LORD."

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

But I refrain my soul and keep it low, like as a child that is weaned from his mother; Yea, my soul is even as a weaned child.

If thy children will keep my covenant, and my testimony that I shall learn them; their children also shall sit upon thy seat for evermore."

It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down unto the beard; even unto Aaron's beard, and went down to the skirts of his clothing.

{A song of the stairs} Behold now, praise the LORD, all ye servants of the LORD, ye that by night stand in the house of the LORD.

The LORD that made heaven and earth bless thee out of Zion!

ye that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God.

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

Whatsoever the LORD pleaseth that doeth he in heaven and in earth; in the sea, and in all deep places.

They that make them are like unto them; and so are all they that put their trust in them.

Praise the LORD, ye house of Levi; ye that fear the LORD, praise the LORD.

For they that led us away captive required of us then a song, and melody in our heaviness. "Sing us one of the songs of Zion!"

O daughter of Babylon, thou shalt come to misery thyself; yea, happy shall he be that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.

Blessed shall he be that taketh thy children, and throweth them against the stones.

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

I will give thanks unto thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are thy works, and that my soul knoweth right well!

Wilt thou not slay the wicked, O God, that the bloodthirsty might depart from me?

Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? And am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?

Let the mischief of their own lips fall upon the head of them that compass me about.

Let hot burning coals fall upon them; let them be cast into the fire, and into the pit, that they never rise up again.

Sure I am, that the LORD will avenge the poor, and maintain the cause of the helpless.

Let their judges be overthrown in stony places, that they may hear my words; for they are sweet.

Keep me from the snare that they have laid for me, and from the traps of the wicked doers.

I look upon my righthand, and see there is no man that will know me. I have no place to flee unto, no man careth for my soul.

Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks unto thy name - which thing if thou wilt grant me, then shall the righteous resort unto my company.

Hear me, O LORD, and that soon, for my spirit waxeth faint; hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the grave.

O let me hear thy loving-kindness betimes in the morning; for in thee is my trust. Show thou me the way that I should walk in; for I lift up my soul unto thee.

Teach me to do the thing that pleaseth thee; for thou art my God. Let thy loving spirit lead me forth into the land of righteousness.

And of thy goodness scatter mine enemies abroad, and destroy all them that vex my soul; for I am thy servant.

My hope and my castle, my defense and my deliverer, my shield in whom I trust, which subdueth the people that is under me.

LORD, what is man, that thou hast such respect unto him? Or the son of man, that thou so regardest him?

Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down; touch the mountains, that they may smoke withal.

Thou that givest victory unto kings, and hast delivered David thy servant from the peril of the sword.

that our sons may grow up as the young plants, and that our daughters may be as the polished corners of the temple;

that our garners may be full and plenteous with all manner of store; that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets;

that our oxen may be strong to labour; that there be no decay, no leading into captivity, and no complaining in our streets.

Happy are the people that be in such a case; yea, blessed are the people, which have the LORD for their God.

so that men shall speak of the might of thy marvelous acts, and tell of thy greatness.

that thy power, thy glory and mightiness of thy kingdom, might be known unto men.

The LORD upholdeth all such as should fall, and lifteth up all those that be down.

The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, yea, all such as call upon him faithfully.

He fulfilleth the desire of them that fear him; he heareth their cry, and helpeth them.

The LORD preserveth all them that love him, but scattereth abroad all the ungodly.

Blessed is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, and whose hope is in the LORD his God,

who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that therein is; who keepeth his promise forever;

who helpeth them to right that suffer wrong; who feedeth the hungry. The LORD looseth men out of prison;

the LORD giveth sight to the blind. The LORD helpeth them up that are fallen; the LORD loveth the righteous.

which giveth fodder unto the cattle, and feedeth the young ravens that call upon him.

But the LORD's delight is in them that fear him, and put their trust in his mercy.

Praise him, all ye heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens.

He exalteth the horn of his people, all his saints shall praise him: the children of Israel, even the people that serveth him. Praise the everlasting! Hallelujah!

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him, and let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
