As with a crushing in my bones mine adversaries reproach me, while they say unto me all the day, Where is thy God?

But for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are reckoned as sheep for slaughter.

God is known in her palaces as a high fortress.

Trembling took hold upon them there; anguish, as of a woman in travail.

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

These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.

But as for me, I am like a green olive-tree in the house of God: I will confide in the loving-kindness of God for ever and ever.

Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, eating up my people as they eat bread? they call not upon God.

As for me, unto God will I call; and Jehovah will save me.

He hath put forth his hands against such as are at peace with him; he hath profaned his covenant.

And thou, O God, wilt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days. But as for me, I will confide in thee.

The wicked go astray from the womb; they err as soon as they are born, speaking lies.

Let them melt away as waters that flow off; when he aimeth his arrows, let them be as blunted:

Let them be as a snail that melteth as it passeth away; like the untimely birth of a woman, let them not see the sun.

But as for me, I will sing of thy strength; yea, I will sing aloud of thy loving-kindness in the morning; for thou hast been to me a high fortress, and a refuge in the day of my trouble.

Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: his years shall be as many generations.

How long will ye assail a man; will ye seek, all of you, to break him down as a bowing wall or a tottering fence?

To see thy power and thy glory, as I have beheld thee in the sanctuary;

My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips.

For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.

As smoke is driven, thou wilt drive them away; as wax melteth before the fire, the wicked shall perish at the presence of God.

Though ye have lain among the sheepfolds, ye shall be as wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with green gold.

When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it became snow-white as Zalmon.

As mount Bashan is the mount of God, a many-peaked mountain, as mount Bashan.

But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, Jehovah, in an acceptable time: O God, in the abundance of thy loving-kindness answer me, according to the truth of thy salvation:

Let all those that seek thee be glad and rejoice in thee, and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified!

I have been as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge.

But as for me, I will hope continually, and will praise thee yet more and more.

They shall fear thee as long as sun and moon endure, from generation to generation.

He shall come down like rain on the mown grass, as showers that water the earth.

His name shall endure for ever; his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall bless themselves in him; all nations shall call him blessed.

{A Psalm of Asaph.} Truly God is good to Israel, to such as are of a pure heart.

But as for me, my feet were almost gone, my steps had well nigh slipped;

Therefore pride encompasseth them as a neck-chain, violence covereth them as a garment;

As a dream, when one awaketh, wilt thou, Lord, on arising despise their image.

Then I was brutish and knew nothing; I was as a beast with thee.

But as for me, it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord Jehovah, that I may declare all thy works.

A man was known as he could lift up axes in the thicket of trees;

But as for me, I will declare for ever; I will sing psalms to the God of Jacob.

O God, thy way is in the sanctuary: who is so great a god as God?

And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that prepared not their heart, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.

He clave the sea, and caused them to pass through; and made the waters to stand as a heap;

He clave rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the depths, abundantly;

And he rained flesh upon them as dust, and feathered fowl as the sand of the seas,

Then the Lord awoke as one out of sleep, like a mighty man that shouteth aloud by reason of wine;

Do unto them as to Midian; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the torrent of Kishon:

Who were destroyed at Endor; they became as dung for the ground.

Make their nobles as Oreb and as Zeeb; and all their chiefs as Zebah and as Zalmunna.

As fire burneth a forest, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire,

As well the singers as the dancers shall say, All my springs are in thee.

I am reckoned with them that go down into the pit; I am as a man that hath no strength:

But as for me, Jehovah, I cry unto thee, and in the morning my prayer cometh before thee.

Thou hast crushed Rahab as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with the arm of thy strength.

And as to me, I will make him firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.

And I will establish his seed for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me;

It shall be established for ever as the moon, and the witness in the sky is firm. Selah.

Remember, as regards me, what life is. Wherefore hast thou created all the children of men to be vanity?

For a thousand years, in thy sight, are as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.

Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass that groweth up:

For all our days pass away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a passing thought.

When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity flourish, it is that they may be destroyed for ever.

Harden not your heart, as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah, in the wilderness;

For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as a firebrand.

I am become like the pelican of the wilderness, I am as an owl in desolate places;

They shall perish, but thou continuest; and all of them shall grow old as a garment: as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed.

For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving-kindness toward them that fear him.

As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

As a father pitieth his children, so Jehovah pitieth them that fear him.

As for man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth:

To such as keep his covenant and to those that remember his precepts to do them.

Covering thyself with light as with a garment, stretching out the heavens like a tent-curtain; --

Thou hadst covered it with the deep, as with a vesture; the waters stood above the mountains:

Where the birds make their nests; as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.

I will sing unto Jehovah as long as I live; I will sing psalms to my God while I have my being.

And he rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; and he led them through the deeps as through a wilderness.

They did not destroy the peoples, as Jehovah commanded them;

Often did he deliver them; but as for them they provoked him by their counsel, and they were brought low by their iniquity.

Such as inhabit darkness and the shadow of death, bound in affliction and iron,

Let it be unto him as a garment with which he covereth himself, and for a girdle wherewith he is constantly girded.

Let mine adversaries be clothed with confusion, and let them cover themselves with their shame as with a mantle.

{Psalm of David.} Jehovah said unto my Lord, Sit at my right hand, until I put thine enemies as footstool of thy feet.

He maketh the barren woman to keep house, as a joyful mother of sons. Hallelujah!

I believed, therefore have I spoken. As for me, I was greatly afflicted.

They encompassed me like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of Jehovah have I destroyed them.

I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all wealth.

Their heart is as fat as grease: as for me, I delight in thy law.

Let the proud be ashamed; for they have acted perversely towards me with falsehood: as for me, I meditate in thy precepts.

They had almost consumed me upon the earth; but as for me, I forsook not thy precepts.

Thy testimonies have I taken as a heritage for ever; for they are the rejoicing of my heart.

Turn unto me, and be gracious unto me, as thou art wont to do unto those that love thy name.

I have joy in thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.

Jerusalem, which art built as a city that is compact together,

Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress, so our eyes are directed to Jehovah our God, until he be gracious unto us.

Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we have escaped.

{A Song of degrees.} They that confide in Jehovah are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved; it abideth for ever.

But as for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, Jehovah will lead them forth with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel!

Turn our captivity, O Jehovah, as the streams in the south.

As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the children of youth.

Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine in the inner part of thy house; thy children like olive-plants round about thy table.
