And they requiting evil for good will be mine adversaries, for my pursuing Thou Thou wilt not forsake me, O Jehovah: my God, thou wilt not remove far off from me.

LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am.

Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah.

Deliver me from all mine offenses; and make me not a rebuke unto the foolish.

Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.

To do thy good-pleasure, O my God, is my delight, And, thy law, is in the midst of mine inward parts:

For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.

Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be turned backward and confounded that take pleasure in mine adversity;

Though I am poor and in need, the Lord has me in mind; you are my help and my saviour; let there be no waiting, O my God.

Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?

All mine enemies whisper together against me; even against me do they imagine this evil.

Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.

By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.

And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.

Let my soul be overflowing with grief when these things come back to my mind, how I went in company to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with the song of those who were keeping the feast.

My soul is crushed down in me, so I will keep you in mind; from the land of Jordan and of the Hermons, from the hill Mizar.

As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God?

That I may go in unto the altar of God, Unto GOD, mine exultant joy, - That I may praise thee with the lyre, O God - mine own God!

O daughter, give thought and attention, and let your ear be open; no longer keep in mind your people, and your father's house;

Apply your mind to her rampart, Pass between her palaces, That ye may recount them to an after generation;

I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.

For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.

I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.

If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.

{To the chanter, a Psalm of David, when the Prophet Nathan came unto him, after he was gone in to Bathsheba} Have mercy upon me, O God, after thy great goodness; according to the multitude of thy mercies do away mine offences.

Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

For the arrogant have arisen against me; oppressors have sought to take my life. They do not keep God in mind! Interlude

Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.

He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.

For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.

I would hasten mine escape, From rushing wind, from storm.

If it were mine enemy that reviled me, I could bear it: or if one that ought me evil will did threaten me, I would hide myself from him.

But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.

Their mouths are softer than butter, and yet have they battle in their mind: their words are smoother than oil, and yet be they very swords.

Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High.

When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.

Awake, mine honour, awake, psaltery and harp, I awake the morning dawn.

{To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.} Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.

Look! They lie in wait for my life;
Fierce and powerful men [are uniting together to] launch an attack against me,
Not for my wrongdoing nor for any sin of mine, O Lord.

For no fault of mine,
they run and take up a position.
Awake to help me, and take notice.

The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies.

Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; and Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;

Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;

Surely, towards God, be thou silent, my soul, For, from him, is mine expectation:

Upon God, depend my salvation and mine honour, My rock of strength, my refuge, are in God.

Thus, will I bless thee while I live, In thy Name, will I lift up mine outspread hands:

Should I call thee to mind upon my conch, In the watches of the night, would I breathe soft speech of thee.

They plot injustice, saying, "We have made a perfect plan!" Surely man's mind and heart are cunning.

He is the God that maketh men to be of one mind in a house, and bringeth the prisoners out of captivity, but letteth the renegades continue in scarceness.

The LORD hath said, "I will bring my people again, as I did from Bashan; mine own will I bring again, as I did sometimes from the deep of the sea,

I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.

They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.

Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.

Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.

Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion that seek after my soul; let them be turned backward and confounded that take pleasure in mine adversity;

Cast me not away in mine old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth me.

For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,

Forsake me not, O God, in mine old age, when I am grey-headed, until I have showed thy strength unto children's children, and thy power to all them that are yet for to come.

Their eyes bulge from obesity and the imaginations of their mind cross the border into sin.

When I thought to be able to know this, it was a grievous task in mine eyes;

As a dream when one is awake, they are ended; they are like an image gone out of mind when sleep is over.

My body and mind may fail, but God is my strength and my portion forever.

Keep in mind your band of worshippers, for whom you gave payment in the days which are past, whom you took for yourself as the people of your heritage; even this mountain of Zion, which has been your resting-place.

Keep this in mind, O Lord, that your haters have said cruel things, and that your name has been looked down on by a people of evil behaviour.

Keep in mind your undertaking; for the dark places of the earth are full of pride and cruel acts.

Up! O God, be the judge of your cause; keep in mind the bitter things which the man of evil behaviour says against you every day.

Keep in mind the voice of your haters; the outcry of those who come against you goes up every day.

In the time of my trouble I sought the LORD, I held up mine hands to him in the night season, for my soul refused all other comfort.

Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.

And I said, It is a weight on my spirit; but I will keep in mind the years of the right hand of the Most High.

I will keep in mind the works of Jah: I will keep the memory of your wonders in the past.

I will give thought to all your work, while my mind goes over your acts of power.

Give ear, O my people, to mine instruction, Bend your ear to the sayings of my mouth;

They put GOD to the proof in their heart, By asking food to their mind:

So he kept in mind that they were only flesh; a breath which is quickly gone, and will not come again.

They did not keep in mind the work of his hand, or the day when he took them from the power of their haters;

Come back, O God of armies: from heaven let your eyes be turned to this vine, and give your mind to it,

For they have conspired with one mind;
they form an alliance against You—

Teach me Your way, Yahweh,
and I will live by Your truth.
Give me an undivided mind to fear Your name.

The Lord will keep in mind, when he is writing the records of the people, that this man had his birth there. (Selah.)

Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.

Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.

I am in misery, and like unto him that is at the point to die; even from my youth up, thy terrors have I suffered with a troubled mind.

Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.

I have made a covenant with mine elect, I have sworn unto David my servant:

I have found David my servant, With mine own holy oil, have I anointed him;

With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him.

If his children forsake my law, And walk not in mine ordinances;

Remember how fleeting my lifetime is;
For what vanity, [for what emptiness, for what futility, for what wisp of smoke] You have created all the sons of men!

Keep in mind, O Lord, the shame of your servants, and how the bitter words of all the people have come into my heart;

Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.

Give your mind to my words, you who are without wisdom among the people; you foolish men, when will you be wise?

So that I swore in mine anger, that they should not enter into my rest.

I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.

I will not allow anyone with a perverted mind in my presence; I will not be involved with anything evil.

Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.

He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: He that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes.

Hide not Thou Thy face from me, In a day of mine adversity, Incline unto me Thine ear, In the day I call, haste, answer me.
