[Resh] Consider my affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget your law.

Plead my cause, and deliver me: revive me according to your word.

Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not your statutes.

Great are your tender mercies, O LORD: revive me according to your judgments.

Many are my persecutors and my enemies; yet do I not turn from your testimonies.

I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not your word.

Consider how I love your precepts: revive me, O LORD, according to your lovingkindness.

Your word is true from the beginning: and every one of your righteous judgments endures forever.

[Shin] Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart stands in awe of your word.

I rejoice at your word, as one that finds great spoil.

I hate and abhor lying: but your law do I love.

Seven times a day do I praise you because of your righteous judgments.

Great peace have they who love your law: and nothing shall offend them.

LORD, I have hoped for your salvation, and done your commandments.

My soul has kept your testimonies; and I love them exceedingly.

I have kept your precepts and your testimonies: for all my ways are before you.

[Tau] Let my cry come near before you, O LORD: give me understanding according to your word.

Let my supplication come before you: deliver me according to your word.

My lips shall utter praise, when you have taught me your statutes.

My tongue shall speak of your word: for all your commandments are righteousness.

Let your hand help me; for I have chosen your precepts.

I have longed for your salvation, O LORD; and your law is my delight.

Let my soul live, and it shall praise you; and let your judgments help me.

I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek your servant; for I do not forget your commandments.

What shall be given unto you? or what shall be done unto you, you false tongue?

I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.

He will not allow your foot to be moved: he that keeps you will not slumber.

The LORD is your keeper: the LORD is your shade upon your right hand.

The LORD shall preserve you from all evil: he shall preserve your soul.

The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even forevermore.

Our feet shall stand within your gates, O Jerusalem.

Where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.

For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

Peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces.

Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek your good.

Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until he has mercy upon us.

Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorn of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.

[A song of ascents. Of David.] If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

Then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul:

Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.

Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from this time forth even forever.

Do good, O LORD, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.

[A song of ascents.] When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.

Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the nations, The LORD has done great things for them.

The LORD has done great things for us; and we are glad.

Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the South.

Lo, children are a heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.

For you shall eat the labor of your hands: happy shall you be, and it shall be well with you.

Your wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of your house: your children like olive plants round about your table.

The LORD shall bless you out of Zion: and you shall see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.

Yea, you shall see your children's children, and peace upon Israel.

Lord, hear my voice: let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.

[A song of ascents. Of David.] LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor my eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.

I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids,

Arise, O LORD, into your rest; you, and the ark of your strength.

Let your priests be clothed with righteousness; and let your saints shout for joy.

For your servant David's sake turn not away the face of your anointed.

The LORD has sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of your body will I set upon your throne.

If your children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon your throne forevermore.

Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the LORD.

You 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.

Your name, O LORD, endures forever; and your memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.

The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusts in them.

Who remembered us in our low estate: for his mercy endures forever:

And has redeemed us from our enemies: for his mercy endures forever.

We hung our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.

O daughter of Babylon, who are to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewards you as you have served us.

Happy shall he be, that takes and dashes your little ones against the stones.

I will worship toward your holy temple, and praise your name for your lovingkindness and for your truth: for you have magnified your word above all your name.

All the kings of the earth shall praise you, O LORD, when they hear the words of your mouth.

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you will revive me: you shall stretch forth your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and your right hand shall save me.

The LORD will perfect that which concerns me: your mercy, O LORD, endures forever: forsake not the works of your own hands.

You search out my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways.

You have hedged me behind and before, and laid your hand upon me.

Where shall I go from your Spirit? or where shall I flee from your presence?

If I ascend up into heaven, you are there: if I make my bed in Sheol, behold, you are there.

Even there shall your hand lead me, and your right hand shall hold me.

Yea, the darkness hides not from you; but the night shines as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to you.

I will praise you; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are your works; and that my soul knows right well.

Your eyes did see my substance, being yet unformed; and in your book they were all written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them.

How precious also are your thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!

If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with you.

For they speak against you wickedly, and your enemies take your name in vain.

Who imagine evil in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.

I said unto the LORD, you are my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD.

Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto your name: the upright shall dwell in your presence.

[A Psalm of David.] LORD, I cry unto you: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto you.

When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.

Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cuts and splits wood upon the earth.

But my eyes are unto you, O GOD the Lord: in you is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.

I cried unto you, O LORD: I said, you are my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.

Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise your name: the righteous shall surround me; for you shall deal bountifully with me.
