Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,

I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.

I have proclaimed good news of righteousness [and the joy that comes from obedience to You] in the great assembly;
Behold, I will not restrain my lips [from proclaiming Your righteousness],
As You know, O Lord.

As for you, O Yahweh, do not withhold your mercies from me. Let your loyal love and your faithfulness continually preserve me.

For unnumbered evils are round about me; my sins have overtaken me, so that I am bent down with their weight; they are more than the hairs of my head, my strength is gone because of them.

Let them be desolate as a reward for their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.

Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.

Even though I am afflicted and needy,
Still the Lord takes thought and is mindful of me.
You are my help and my rescuer.
O my God, do not delay.

{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.} Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.

Jehovah doth preserve him and revive him, He is happy in the land, And Thou givest him not into the will of his enemies.

As for me, I said, Jehovah, be gracious unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

As for my enemies, with malice they said, "When will he die and memory of his name perish?"

If one comes to see me, deceit is in his heart; he keeps a store of evil, which he makes public in every place.

As for all who hate me, they whisper together against me; they desire to do me harm.

A thing of Belial cleaveth fast unto him; and now that he is laid down, he will rise up no more.

Even my dearest friend, in whom I had faith, who took bread with me, is turned against me.

As for you, O Lord, have mercy on me and raise me up, so I can pay them back!"

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

Blessed is Jehovah, God of Israel, From the age -- and unto the age. Amen and Amen.

{To the chief Musician, Maschil, for the sons of Korah.} As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.

My soul is dry for need of God, the living God; when may I come and see the face of God?

My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?

I remember this as I pour out my heart:
how I walked with many,
leading the festive procession to the house of God,
with joyful and thankful shouts.

Why are you crushed down, O my soul? and why are you troubled in me? put your hope in God; for I will again give him praise who is my help and my God.

O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar.

Deep unto deep is calling At the noise of Thy water-spouts, All Thy breakers and Thy billows passed over me.

By day Jehovah commandeth His kindness, And by night a song is with me, A prayer to the God of my life.

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

Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

{To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, Maschil.} We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.

Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.

For I will not trust in my bow; it is not my sword that shall help me.

But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us.

Our pride is in God at all times, to his name we give praise for ever. (Selah.)

But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies.

Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves.

Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered us among the heathen.

You let your people go for nothing; your wealth is not increased by their price.

Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.

Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people.

My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,

Because of the voice of him who says sharp and bitter words; because of the hater and him who is the instrument of punishment.

All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.

Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way;

Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death.

Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.

Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever.

Why is your face covered, and why do you give no thought to our trouble and our cruel fate?

For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth.

Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake.

{To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of Korah, Maschil, A Song of loves.} My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

As to Thy majesty -- prosper! -- ride! Because of truth, and meekness -- righteousness, And Thy right hand showeth Thee fearful things.

Thine arrows being sharpened peoples shall fall under thee as the heart of the king's enemies.

Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.

You love justice and hate wickedness. That is why God, even your God, has anointed you rather than your companions with the oil of gladness.

Kings' daughters are among your noble women: on your right is the queen in gold of Ophir.

So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.

The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.

In divers colours she is brought to the king, Virgins -- after her -- her companions, Are brought to thee.

They are bubbling with joy as they walk in procession and enter the royal palace.

Your sons will take the place of your ancestors, and you will set them up as princes in all the earth.

{To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, A Song upon Alamoth.} God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

For this cause we will have no fear, even though the earth is changed, and though the mountains are moved in the heart of the sea;

There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.

God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.

The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

He puts an end to wars over all the earth; by him the bow is broken, and the spear cut in two, and the carriage burned in the fire.

The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

For the LORD most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth.

He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet.

He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.

God is gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet.

For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding.

God reigns over the nations;
God is seated on His holy throne.

The princes of the people are gathered together, even the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth belong unto God: he is greatly exalted.

{A Song and Psalm for the sons of Korah.} Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.

Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.

God is known in her palaces for a refuge.

For lo! Kings - Met as appointed, Passed by together;

As soon as they see, they are shocked; they are terrified, they quickly retreat.

Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail.

as You wrecked the ships of Tarshish
with the east wind.

As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. Selah.

According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.

Mount Zion is glad.
The towns of Judah rejoice
because of Your judgments.

For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.

My mouth speaketh wise things, And the meditations of my heart are things of understanding.

I will focus my attention on a proverb; I will use the harp to expound my riddle.

What cause have I for fear in the days of evil, when the evil-doing of those who are working for my downfall is round about me?

Even of those whose faith is in their wealth, and whose hearts are lifted up because of their stores.

(For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:)

For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.

Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names.

Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.

This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.

They are appointed as a flock for Sheol; Death shall be their shepherd; And the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; And their beauty shall be for Sheol to consume, That there be no habitation for it.

Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;
