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

To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. Jehovah doth answer thee, In a day of adversity, The name of the God of Jacob doth set thee on high,

He doth remember all thy presents, And thy burnt-offering doth reduce to ashes. Selah.

He doth give to thee according to thy heart, And all thy counsel doth fulfil.

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.

The desire of his heart Thou gavest to him, And the request of his lips Thou hast not withheld. Selah.

Life he hath asked from Thee, Thou hast given to him -- length of days, Age-during -- and for ever.

For Thou makest him blessings for ever, Thou dost cause him to rejoice with joy, By Thy countenance.

Thy hand cometh to all Thine enemies, Thy right hand doth find Thy haters.

To the Overseer, on 'The Hind of the Morning.' -- A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me? Far from my salvation, The words of my roaring?

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

All beholding me do mock at me, They make free with the lip -- shake the head,

For thou art He bringing me forth from the womb, Causing me to trust, On the breasts of my mother.

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

And to the dust of death thou appointest me, For surrounded me have dogs, A company of evil doers have compassed me, Piercing my hands and my feet.

They apportion my garments to themselves, And for my clothing they cause a lot to fall.

And Thou, O Jehovah, be not far off, O my strength, to help me haste.

I declare Thy name to my brethren, In the midst of the assembly I praise Thee.

The humble do eat and are satisfied, Praise Jehovah do those seeking Him, Your heart doth live for ever.

Remember and return unto Jehovah, Do all ends of the earth, And before Thee bow themselves, Do all families of the nations,

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

And the fat ones of earth have eaten, And they bow themselves, Before Him bow do all going down to dust, And he who hath not revived his soul.

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,

In pastures of tender grass He causeth me to lie down, By quiet waters He doth lead me.

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

The clean of hands, and pure of heart, Who hath not lifted up to vanity his soul, Nor hath sworn to deceit.

Thy ways, O Jehovah, cause me to know, Thy paths teach Thou me.

Cause me to tread in Thy truth, and teach me, For Thou art the God of my salvation, Near Thee I have waited all the day.

Sins of my youth, and my transgressions, Do not Thou remember. According to Thy kindness be mindful of me, For Thy goodness' sake, O Jehovah.

He causeth the humble to tread in judgment, And teacheth the humble His way.

All the paths of Jehovah are kindness and truth, To those keeping His covenant, And His testimonies.

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

Integrity and uprightness do keep me, For I have waited on Thee.

To sound with a voice of confession, And to recount all Thy wonders.

Do not gather with sinners my soul, And with men of blood my life,

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?

When evil doers come near to me to eat my flesh, My adversaries and mine enemies to me, They have stumbled and fallen.

One thing I asked of Jehovah -- it I seek. My dwelling in the house of Jehovah, All the days of my life, To look on the pleasantness of Jehovah, And to inquire in His temple.

For He hideth me in a tabernacle in the day of evil, He hideth me in a secret place of His tent, On a rock he raiseth me up.

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.

To Thee said my heart 'They sought my face, Thy face, O Jehovah, I seek.'

Give me not to the will of my adversaries, For risen against me have false witnesses, And they breathe out violence to me.

I had not believed to look on the goodness of Jehovah In the land of the living!

By David. Unto Thee, O Jehovah, I call, My rock, be not silent to me! Lest Thou be silent to me, And I have been compared With those going down to the pit.

Give to them according to their acting, And according to the evil of their doings. According to the work of their hands give to them. Return their deed to them.

For they attend not to the doing of Jehovah, And unto the work of His hands. He throweth them down, And doth not build them up.

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

Save Thy people, and bless Thine inheritance, And feed them, and carry them to the age!

A Psalm of David. Ascribe to Jehovah, ye sons of the mighty, Ascribe to Jehovah honour and strength.

Ascribe to Jehovah the honour of His name, Bow yourselves to Jehovah, In the beauty of holiness.

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

Jehovah on the deluge hath sat, And Jehovah sitteth king -- to the age,

Jehovah strength to his people giveth, Jehovah blesseth His people with peace!

Jehovah my God, I have cried to Thee, And Thou dost heal me.

Jehovah, Thou hast brought up from Sheol my soul, Thou hast kept me alive, From going down to the pit.

Sing praise to Jehovah, ye His saints, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness,

And I -- I have said in mine ease, 'I am not moved -- to the age.

O Jehovah, in Thy good pleasure, Thou hast caused strength to remain for my mountain,' Thou hast hidden Thy face -- I have been troubled.

Hear, O Jehovah, and favour me, O Jehovah, be a helper to me.'

Thou hast turned my mourning to dancing for me, Thou hast loosed my sackcloth, And girdest me with joy.

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

To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. In Thee, O Jehovah, I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed to the age, In Thy righteousness deliver me.

Incline unto me Thine ear hastily, deliver me, Be to me for a strong rock, For a house of bulwarks to save me.

And Thou hast not shut me up, Into the hand of an enemy, Thou hast caused my feet to stand in a broad place.

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

Among all mine adversaries I have been a reproach, And to my neighbours exceedingly, And a fear to mine acquaintances, Those seeing me without -- fled from me.

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,

Cause Thy face to shine on Thy servant, Save me in Thy kindness.

O Jehovah, let me not be ashamed, For I have called Thee, let the wicked be ashamed, Let them become silent to Sheol.

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

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

When I have kept silence, become old have my bones, Through my roaring all the day.

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

My sin I cause Thee to know, And mine iniquity I have not covered. I have said, 'I confess concerning My transgressions to Jehovah,' And Thou -- Thou hast taken away, The iniquity of my sin. 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.

I cause thee to act wisely, And direct thee in the way that thou goest, I cause mine eye to take counsel concerning thee.

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.

Give ye thanks to Jehovah with a harp, With psaltery of ten strings sing praise to Him,

Sing ye to Him a new song, Play skilfully with shouting.

The counsel of Jehovah to the age standeth, The thoughts of His heart to all generations.

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

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

To deliver from death their soul, And to keep them alive in famine.

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.

In Jehovah doth my soul boast herself, Hear do the humble and rejoice.

Ascribe ye greatness to Jehovah with me, And we exalt His name together.

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

Come ye, children, hearken to me, The fear of Jehovah I do teach you.

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

Turn aside from evil and do good, Seek peace and pursue it.

(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.

Evil doth put to death the wicked, And those hating the righteous are desolate.

And draw out spear and lance, To meet my pursuers. Say to my soul, 'Thy salvation I am.'

Stir up, and wake to my judgment, My God, and my Lord, to my plea.

Judge me according to Thy righteousness, O Jehovah my God, And they do not rejoice over me.
