They go before me in a day of my calamity And Jehovah is for a support to me.

God! perfect is His way, The saying of Jehovah is tried, A shield is He to all those trusting in Him.

For who is God besides Jehovah? And who is a rock save our God?

God! who is girding me with strength, And He maketh perfect my way.

As to mine enemies -- Thou hast given to me the neck, As to those hating me -- I cut them off.

They cry, and there is no saviour, On Jehovah, and He doth not answer them.

And I beat them as dust before wind, As mire of the streets I empty them out.

Jehovah liveth -- and blessed is my rock, And exalted is the God of my salvation.

God -- who is giving vengeance to me, And He subdueth peoples under me,

To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. The heavens are recounting the honour of God, And the work of His hands The expanse is declaring.

There is no speech, and there are no words. Their voice hath not been heard.

And he, as a bridegroom, goeth out from his covering, He rejoiceth as a mighty one To run the path.

From the end of the heavens is his going out, And his revolution is unto their ends, And nothing is hid from his heat.

The law of Jehovah is perfect, refreshing the soul, The testimonies of Jehovah are stedfast, Making wise the simple,

The precepts of Jehovah are upright, Rejoicing the heart, The command of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes,

The fear of Jehovah is clean, standing to the age, The judgments of Jehovah are true, They have been righteous -- together.

Also -- Thy servant is warned by them, 'In keeping them is a great reward.'

O Jehovah, save the king, He doth answer us in the day we call!

To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. Jehovah, in Thy strength is the king joyful, In Thy salvation how greatly he rejoiceth.

Great is his honour in Thy salvation, Honour and majesty Thou placest on him.

For the king is trusting in Jehovah, And in the kindness of the Most High He is not moved.

Thou makest them as a furnace of fire, At the time of Thy presence. Jehovah in His anger doth swallow them, And fire doth devour them.

My God, I call by day, and Thou answerest not, And by night, and there is no silence to me.

Be not far from me, For adversity is near, for there is no helper.

As waters I have been poured out, And separated themselves have all my bones, My heart hath been like wax, It is melted in the midst of my bowels.

Dried up as an earthen vessel is my power, And my tongue is cleaving to my jaws.

Of Thee my praise is in the great assembly. My vows I complete before His fearers.

For to Jehovah is the kingdom, And He is ruling among nations.

A seed doth serve Him, It is declared of the Lord to the generation.

They come and declare His righteousness, To a people that is borne, that He hath made!

A Psalm of David. Jehovah is my shepherd, I do not lack,

Thou arrangest before me a table, Over-against my adversaries, Thou hast anointed with oil my head, My cup is full!

Only -- goodness and kindness pursue me, All the days of my life, And my dwelling is in the house of Jehovah, For a length of days!

A Psalm of David. To Jehovah is the earth and its fulness, The world and the inhabitants in it.

This is a generation of those seeking Him. Seeking Thy face, O Jacob! Selah.

Who is this -- 'the king of glory?' Jehovah -- strong and mighty, Jehovah, the mighty in battle.

Who is He -- this 'king of glory?' Jehovah of hosts -- He is the king of glory! Selah.

Good and upright is Jehovah, Therefore He directeth sinners in the way.

For Thy name's sake, O Jehovah, Thou hast pardoned mine iniquity, for it is great.

Who is this -- the man fearing Jehovah? He directeth him in the way He doth choose.

The secret of Jehovah is for those fearing Him, And His covenant -- to cause them to know.

For Thy kindness is before mine eyes, And I have walked habitually in Thy truth.

In whose hand is a wicked device, And their right hand is full of bribes.

By David. Jehovah is my light and my salvation, Whom do I fear? Jehovah is the strength of my life, Of whom am I afraid?

And now, lifted up is my head, Above my enemies -- my surrounders, And I sacrifice in His tent sacrifices of shouting, I sing, yea, I sing praise to Jehovah.

Blessed is Jehovah, For He hath heard the voice of my supplications.

Jehovah is my strength, and my shield, In Him my heart trusted, and I have been helped. And my heart exulteth, And with my song I thank Him.

Jehovah is strength to him, Yea, the strength of the salvation of His anointed is He.

The voice of Jehovah is on the waters, The God of glory hath thundered, Jehovah is on many waters.

The voice of Jehovah is with power, The voice of Jehovah is with majesty,

The voice of Jehovah is shivering cedars, Yea, Jehovah shivers the cedars of Lebanon.

And He causeth them to skip as a calf, Lebanon and Sirion as a son of Reems,

The voice of Jehovah is hewing fiery flames,

For -- a moment is in His anger, Life is in His good-will, At even remaineth weeping, and at morn singing.

What gain is in my blood? In my going down unto corruption? Doth dust thank Thee? doth it declare Thy truth?

So that honour doth praise Thee, and is not silent, O Jehovah, my God, to the age I thank Thee!

Favour me, O Jehovah, for distress is to me, Mine eye, my soul, and my body Have become old by provocation.

I have been forgotten as dead out of mind, I have been as a perishing vessel.

For I have heard an evil account of many, Fear is round about. In their being united against me, To take my life they have devised,

How abundant is Thy goodness, That Thou hast laid up for those fearing Thee,

Blessed is Jehovah, For He hath made marvellous His kindness To me in a city of bulwarks.

Love Jehovah, all ye His saints, Jehovah is keeping the faithful, And recompensing abundantly a proud doer.

By David. -- An Instruction. O the happiness of him whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered.

O the happiness of a man, To whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit.

When by day and by night Thy hand is heavy upon me, My moisture hath been changed Into the droughts of summer. Selah.

For this doth every saintly one pray to Thee, As the time to find. Surely at an overflowing of many waters, Unto him they come not.

Be ye not as a horse -- as a mule, Without understanding, With bridle and bit, its ornaments, to curb, Not to come near unto thee.

Many are the pains of the wicked; As to him who is trusting in Jehovah, Kindness doth compass him.

Sing, ye righteous, in Jehovah, For upright ones praise is comely.

For upright is the word of Jehovah, And all His work is in faithfulness.

Loving righteousness and judgment, Of the kindness of Jehovah is the earth full.

Gathering as a heap the waters of the sea, Putting in treasuries the depths.

For He hath said, and it is, He hath commanded, and it standeth.

O the happiness of the nation whose God is Jehovah, Of the people He did choose, For an inheritance to Him.

Who is forming their hearts together, Who is attending unto all their works.

The king is not saved by the multitude of a force. A mighty man is not delivered, By abundance of power.

A false thing is the horse for safety, And by the abundance of his strength He doth not deliver.

Lo, the eye of Jehovah is to those fearing Him, To those waiting for His kindness,

Our soul hath waited for Jehovah, Our help and our shield is He,

Let Thy kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, As we have waited for Thee!

By David, in his changing his behaviour before Abimelech, and he driveth him away, and he goeth. I do bless Jehovah at all times, Continually His praise is in my mouth.

A messenger of Jehovah is encamping, Round about those who fear Him, And He armeth them.

Taste ye and see that Jehovah is good, O the happiness of the man who trusteth in Him.

Fear Jehovah, ye His holy ones, For there is no lack to those fearing Him.

Who is the man that is desiring life? Loving days to see good?

(The face of Jehovah is on doers of evil, To cut off from earth their memorial.)

Near is Jehovah to the broken of heart, And the bruised of spirit He saveth.

He is keeping all his bones, One of them hath not been broken.

They are as chaff before wind, And a messenger of Jehovah driving away.

Their way is darkness and slipperiness, And a messenger of Jehovah their pursuer.

And my soul is joyful in Jehovah, It rejoiceth in His salvation.

All my bones say, 'Jehovah, who is like Thee, Delivering the poor from the stronger than he, And the poor and needy from his plunderer.'

And I -- in their sickness my clothing is sackcloth, I have humbled with fastings my soul, And my prayer unto my bosom returneth.

As if a friend, as if my brother, I walked habitually, As a mourner for a mother, Mourning I have bowed down.

They sing and rejoice, who are desiring my righteousness, And they say continually, 'Jehovah is magnified, Who is desiring the peace of His servant.'

To the Overseer. -- By a servant of Jehovah, by David. The transgression of the wicked Is affirming within my heart, 'Fear of God is not before his eyes,

O Jehovah, in the heavens is Thy kindness, Thy faithfulness is unto the clouds.

Thy righteousness is as mountains of God, Thy judgments are a great deep. Man and beast Thou savest, O Jehovah.

How precious is Thy kindness, O God, And the sons of men In the shadow of Thy wings do trust.

For with Thee is a fountain of life, In Thy light we see light.
