The dead bodies of your servants have they given to be food unto the fowls of heaven, the flesh of your saints unto the beasts of the earth.

We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.

How long, LORD? will you be angry forever? shall your jealousy burn like fire?

Pour out your wrath upon the nations that have not known you, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon your name.

O remember not against us former iniquities: let your tender mercies speedily precede us: for we are brought very low.

Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of your name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for your name's sake.

Why should the nations say, Where is their God? let him be known among the nations in our sight by the revenging of the blood of your servants which is shed.

Let the sighing of the prisoner come before you; according to the greatness of your power preserve you those that are appointed to die;

And render unto our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, with which they have reproached you, O Lord.

So we your people and sheep of your pasture will give you thanks forever: we will show forth your praise to all generations.

[To the Chief Musician upon shoshannim- Eduth. A Psalm of Asaph.] Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, you that lead Joseph like a flock; you that dwell between the cherubim, shine forth.

Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up your strength, and come and save us.

Restore us, O God, and cause your face to shine; and we shall be saved.

O LORD God of hosts, how long will you be angry against the prayer of your people?

You make us a strife unto our neighbors: and our enemies laugh among themselves.

Restore us, O God of hosts, and cause your face to shine; and we shall be saved.

The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.

And the vineyard which your right hand has planted, and the branch that you made strong for yourself.

It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of your countenance.

Let your hand be upon the man of your right hand, upon the son of man whom you made strong for yourself.

Then will we not go back from you: revive us, and we will call upon your name.

Restore us, O LORD God of hosts, cause your face to shine; and we shall be saved.

[To the Chief Musician upon gittith. A Psalm of Asaph.] Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.

Blow the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.

This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not.

I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were freed from the basket.

I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt: open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.

They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

I have said, You are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

[A Psalm or Song of Asaph.] Keep not silence, O God: hold not your peace, and be not still, O God.

For, lo, your enemies make a tumult: and they that hate you have lifted up the head.

They have taken crafty counsel against your people, and consulted against your hidden ones.

So persecute them with your tempest, and make them afraid with your storm.

Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek your name, O LORD.

That men may know that you, whose name alone is the LORD, are the most high over all the earth.

[To the Chief Musician upon gittith. A Psalm for the Sons of Korah.] How lovely are your tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!

Yea, the sparrow has found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even your altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.

Blessed are they that dwell in your house: they will be still praising you. Selah.

Blessed is the man whose strength is in you; in whose heart are the ways to them.

O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.

Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of your anointed.

For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

[To the Chief Musician upon gittith. A Psalm for the Sons of Korah.] LORD, you have been favorable unto your land: you have brought back the captivity of Jacob.

You have forgiven the iniquity of your people, you have covered all their sin. Selah.

You have taken away all your anger: you have turned yourself from the fierceness of your anger.

Restore us, O God of our salvation, and cause your anger toward us to cease.

Will you be angry with us forever? will you draw out your anger to all generations?

Will you not revive us again: that your people may rejoice in you?

Show us your mercy, O LORD, and grant us your salvation.

Surely his salvation is near those that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.

Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield its increase.

[A Prayer of David.] Bow down your ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.

Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O you my God, save your servant that trusts in you.

Rejoice the soul of your servant: for unto you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive; and abundant in mercy unto all them that call upon you.

Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.

Among the gods there is none like unto you, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto your works.

All nations which you have made shall come and worship before you, O Lord; and shall glorify your name.

For you are great, and do wondrous things: you are God alone.

Teach me your way, O LORD; I will walk in your truth: unite my heart to fear your name.

I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify your name forevermore.

For great is your mercy toward me: and you have delivered my soul from the depths of sheol.

O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set you before them.

But you, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in mercy and truth.

O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give your strength unto your servant, and save the son of your handmaid.

[A Psalm or Song for the Sons of Korah.] His foundation is in the holy mountains.

Glorious things are spoken of you, O city of God. Selah.

As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in you.

[A Song or Psalm for the Sons of Karah. To the Chief Musician upon mahanath leannoth. A maschil of Heman the Ezrahite.] O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before you:

Let my prayer come before you: incline your ear unto my cry;

Adrift among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom you remember no more: and they are cut off from your hand.

Your anger lies hard upon me, and you have afflicted me with all your waves. Selah.

Shall your lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or your faithfulness in destruction?

Shall your wonders be known in the dark? and your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

LORD, why cast you off my soul? why hide you your face from me?

I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer your terrors I am distracted.

Your fierce anger goes over me; your terrors have cut me off.

[A maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite.] I will sing of the mercies of the LORD forever: with my mouth will I make known your faithfulness to all generations.

For I have said, Mercy shall be built up forever: your faithfulness shall you establish in the very heavens.

Your seed will I establish forever, and build up your throne to all generations. Selah.

And the heavens shall praise your wonders, O LORD: your faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.

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

O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto you? or to your faithfulness round about you?

You have broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; you have scattered your enemies with your strong arm.

The heavens are yours, the earth also is yours: as for the world and the fullness thereof, you have founded them.

The north and the south, you have created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in your name.

You have a mighty arm: strong is your hand, and high is your right hand.

Righteousness and justice are the habitation of your throne: mercy and truth shall go before your face.

Blessed are the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of your countenance.

In your name shall they rejoice all the day: and in your righteousness shall they be exalted.

For you are the glory of their strength: and in your favor our horn shall be exalted.

For the LORD is our defense; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.

Then you spoke in a vision to your holy one, and said, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.

He shall cry unto me, You are my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.

But you have cast off and abhorred, you have been angry with your anointed.

You have made void the covenant of your servant: you have profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.

How long, LORD? will you hide yourself forever? shall your anger burn like fire?

Lord, where are your former lovingkindnesses, which you swore unto David in your truth?

Remember, Lord, the reproach of your servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people;
