O LORD my God, in thee do I take refuge. Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me,

lest they tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

if I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me, (yea, I have delivered him without cause who was my adversary),

let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it. Yea, let him tread my life down to the earth, and lay my glory in the dust. Selah.

LORD shall judge the peoples. Judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and to my integrity that is in me.

O let the wickedness of the wicked man come to an end, but establish thou the righteous man. For the righteous God tries the minds and hearts.

God is a righteous judge. Yea, a God who has indignation every day.

I will give thanks to LORD according to his righteousness, and will sing praise to the name of LORD Most High.

Thou make him to have dominion over the works of thy hands. Thou have put all things under his feet.

I will give thanks to LORD with my whole heart. I will show forth all thy marvelous works.

I will be glad and exult in thee. I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High.

The enemy have come to an end. They are desolate forever, and the cities which thou have overthrown. The very memory of them is perished,

and he will judge the world in righteousness. He will minister justice to the peoples in uprightness.

Sing praises to LORD, who dwells in Zion. Declare among the people his doings.

Wicked men shall be turned back to Sheol, even all the nations that forget God.

Put them in fear, O LORD. Let the nations know themselves to be but men. Selah.

Why do thou stand afar off, O LORD? Why do thou hide thyself in times of trouble?

He says in his heart, I shall not be moved. To all generations I shall not be in adversity.

He lurks in secret as a lion in his covert. He lays in wait to catch the poor man. He catches the poor man when he draws him in his net.

Arise, O LORD, O God, lift up thy hand. Do not forget the poor.

Thou have seen. For thou behold mischief and spite, to repay with thy hand. The poor man commits [himself] to thee. Thou have been the helper of the fatherless.

LORD, thou have heard the desire of the humble. Thou will prepare their heart, thou will cause thine ear to hear,

to judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may no more be appalling.

In LORD I take refuge. How will ye say to my soul, Flee [as] a bird to your mountain.

If the foundations be destroyed, what can a righteous man do?

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

I will sing to LORD because he has dealt bountifully with me.

LORD looked down from heaven upon the sons of men to see if there were any who understood, who sought after God.

Ye put to shame the counsel of the poor because LORD is his refuge.

he who does no slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor takes up a reproach against his neighbor,

in whose eyes a reprobate is despised, but who honors those who fear LORD, he that swears to his own hurt, and changes not,

he who puts not his money out to interest, nor takes a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved.

Preserve me, O God, for in thee do I take refuge.

Thou [my soul] have said to LORD, Thou are my LORD. I have no good beyond thee.

The lines are fallen to me in pleasant places. Yea, I have a fine heritage.

For thou will not leave my soul to Sheol, nor will thou allow thy holy man to see corruption.

Thou {made known to (LXX/NT)} me the path of life. {Thou will fill me of joy with thy countenance (LXX/NT)}.

Hear the right, O LORD, attend to my cry. Give ear to my prayer, that goes not out of feigned lips.

My steps have held fast to thy paths. My feet have not slipped.

I have called upon thee, for thou will answer me, O God. Incline thine ear to me, [and] hear my speech.

They have now encompassed us in our steps. They set their eyes to cast down to the earth.

from men by thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world whose portion is in [this] life, and whose belly thou fill with thy treasure. They are satisfied with sons, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.

I will call upon LORD, who is worthy to be praised. So I shall be saved from my enemies.

In my distress I called upon LORD, and cried to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry before him came into his ears.

He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me.

They came upon me in the day of my calamity, but LORD was my stay.

LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness. According to the cleanness of my hands he has recompensed me.

Therefore LORD has recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.

As for God, his way is perfect. The word of LORD is tried. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.

He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of brass.

I will smite them through, so that they shall not be able to rise. They shall fall under my feet.

For thou have girded me with strength to the battle. Thou have subdued under me those who rose up against me.

Thou have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.

They cried, but there was none to save, even to LORD, but he answered them not.

As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me. The foreigners shall submit themselves to me.

Therefore I will give thanks to thee, O LORD, among the Gentiles, and will sing praises to thy name.

He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his seed, for evermore.

Day to day utters speech, and night to night shows knowledge.

Their line has gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tabernacle for the sun,

which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoices as a strong man to run his course.

His going forth is from the end of the heavens, and his circuit to the ends of it, and there is nothing hid from the heat of it.

More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold. Sweeter also than honey and the droppings of the honeycomb.

LORD answer thee in the day of trouble. The name of the God of Jacob set thee up on high,

His glory is great in thy salvation. Honor and majesty thou do lay upon him.

For they intended evil against thee. They conceived a device which they are not able to perform.

They cried to thee, and were delivered. They trusted in thee, and were not put to shame.

All those who see me laugh me to scorn. They shoot out the lip. They shake the head, [saying],

Be not far from me, for trouble is near, for there is none to help.

My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue clings to my jaws, and thou have brought me into the dust of death.

They part my garments among them, and upon my vesture do they cast a lot.

But be thou not far off, O LORD. O thou my succor, hasten thee to help me.

I will declare thy name to my brothers. In the midst of the congregation I will praise thee.

For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, neither has he hid his face from him, but when he cried to him, he heard.

All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to LORD, and all the kinfolk of the nations shall worship before thee.

All the fat ones of the earth shall eat and worship. All those who go down to the dust shall bow before him, even he who cannot keep his soul alive.

A seed shall serve him. It shall be told of LORD to the [next] generation.

They shall come and shall declare his righteousness to a people that shall be born, that he has done it.

He makes me to lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.

He who has clean hands, and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, and has not sworn deceitfully.

To thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.

O my God, in thee I have trusted. Let me not be put to shame. Let not my enemies triumph over me.

Yea, none who wait for thee shall be put to shame. They shall be put to shame who deal treacherously without cause.

Guide me in thy truth, and teach me. For thou are the God of my salvation. For thee do I wait all the day.

Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions. According to thy loving kindness remember thou me, for thy goodness' sake, O LORD.

All the paths of LORD are loving kindness and truth to such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

Turn thee to me, and have mercy upon me, for I am desolate and afflicted.

O keep my soul, and deliver me. Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in thee.

that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and tell of all thy wondrous works.

But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me.

When evil-doers came upon me to eat up my flesh, [even] my adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.

One thing I have asked of LORD, that I will seek after, that I may dwell in the house of LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of LORD, and to inquire in his temple.

For in the day of trouble he will hide me in his pavilion. In the covert of his tabernacle he will hide me. He will lift me up upon a rock.

And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies round about me. And I will offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy. I will sing, yea, I will sing praises to LORD.

My heart said to thee, I have sought thy face. O LORD, I will seek thy face.

Deliver me not over to the will of my adversaries. For FALSE witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

To thee, O LORD, I will call. My rock, be not thou deaf to me, lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like those who go down into the pit.

Hear the voice of my supplications when I cry to thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.

Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings. Give them after the operation of their hands. Render to them their recompense,

LORD is their strength, and he is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.

Ascribe to LORD, O ye sons of the mighty, ascribe to LORD glory and strength.
