The earth and everything in it exists for the LORD the world and those who live in it.

For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.

The blameless one of hands and the clean of heart; who lifted not up his soul to vanity, and swore not for deceit

This is the generation (description) of those who diligently seek Him and require Him as their greatest need,
Who seek Your face, even [as did] Jacob. Selah.

Who is this King of glory? Jehovah strong and mighty, Jehovah mighty for war.

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

Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.

Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O LORD.

Good and upright, is Yahweh, For this cause, will he direct sinners into the way.

All the paths of Jehovah are loving-kindness and truth for such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.

If a man has the fear of the Lord, the Lord will be his teacher in the way of his pleasure.

His soul will be full of good things, and his seed will have the earth for its heritage.

The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.

Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.

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

Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.

O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.

Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.

{A Psalm of David.} Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.

Put me in the scales, O Lord, so that I may be tested; let the fire make clean my thoughts and my heart.

For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.

In whose hands are evil designs, and whose right hands take money for judging falsely.

But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.

I have a safe resting-place for my feet; I will give praise to the Lord in the meetings of the people.

{A Psalm of David.} The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.

One thing I have asked of the Lord, and that I will seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord [in His presence] all the days of my life,
To gaze upon the beauty [the delightful loveliness and majestic grandeur] of the Lord
And to meditate in His temple.

For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

Now I will triumph over my enemies who surround me! I will offer sacrifices in his dwelling place and shout for joy! I will sing praises to the Lord!

My heart said for thee, Seek ye my face. Thy face, O Jehovah, will I seek.

Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

For had my father and my mother forsaken me, then had Jehovah taken me up.

Shew me, O Jehovah, Thy way, And lead me in a path of uprightness, For the sake of my beholders.

Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

Wait for Jehovah: Be strong, and let thy heart take courage; Yea, wait thou for Jehovah.

A Psalm of David.
To You, O Lord, I call;
My rock, do not be deaf to me,
For if You are silent to me,
I will become like those who go down to the pit.

Hear the voice of my supplication (specific requests, humble entreaties) as I cry to You for help,
As I lift up my hands and heart toward Your innermost sanctuary (Holy of Holies).

Give them the right reward of their acts, and of their evil doings: give them punishment for the works of their hands, let them have their full reward.

For they regard not the deeds of Jehovah, nor the work of his hands: he will destroy them, and not build them up.

Blessed be Jehovah, for he hath heard the voice of my supplications.

The Lord is my strength and my breastplate, my heart had faith in him and I am helped; for this cause my heart is full of rapture, and I will give him praise in my song.

Yahweh [is] their strength, and he [is] the refuge for the salvation of his anointed one.

Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.

The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire.

The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever.

Yahweh will give strength to his people. Yahweh will bless his people with peace. A Psalm. A Song for the Dedication of the Temple. By David.

{A Psalm and Song at the dedication of the house of David.} I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

O Yahweh, my God, I cried for help to you, and you healed me.

Sing praises unto the LORD, O ye saints of his; and give thanks unto him for a remembrance of his holiness.

For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

As for me, I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved.

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

To you, O Yahweh, I called, and to the Lord I pleaded for grace [saying],

Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

For the music director; a psalm of David. In you, O Lord, I have taken shelter! Never let me be humiliated! Vindicate me by rescuing me!

Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.

For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.

Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength.

Into your hands I give my spirit; you are my saviour, O Lord God for ever true.

I have hated them that observe lying vanities; and as for me, I have confided in Jehovah.

I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;

Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.

For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.

I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without fled from me.

For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.

But as for me, I trust you, O Yahweh. I say, "You [are] my God."

Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies' sake.

Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.

Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!

Thou hast wrought for those trusting in Thee, Before sons of men. Thou hidest them in the secret place of Thy presence, From artifices of man, Thou concealest them in a tabernacle, From the strife of tongues.

Blessed be the LORD: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.

For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.

O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.

Be strong, and He strengtheneth your heart, All ye who are waiting for Jehovah!

Happy is he who has forgiveness for his wrongdoing, and whose sin is covered.

For while I held my tongue, my bones consumed away through my daily complaining.

For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.

For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.

Thou art a hiding-place for me; thou preservest me from trouble; thou dost encompass me with songs of deliverance. Selah.

Be ye not as a horse, as a mule, which have no understanding: whose trappings must be bit and bridle, for restraint, or they will not come unto thee.

Many are [the] pains of the wicked, but [for] the one who trusts Yahweh loyal love surrounds him.

Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.

Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.

For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth.

Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.

For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.

The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

A king's salvation is not in the power of his army; a strong man does not get free by his great strength.

An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.

Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;

Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield.

For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.

Let Thy kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, As we have waited for Thee!

I was searching for the Lord, and he gave ear to my voice, and made me free from all my fears.

They looked to Him and were radiant;
Their faces will never blush in shame or confusion.

The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
