Psa. 22:1‑69:36• 1To the chief musician, upon the hind of the dawn; a Psalm of David.{HR}My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?{HR}Far off from my deliverance, the words of my roaring?
2My God, I call by day, and thou answerest not,{HR}And by night, and there is no silence for me.
3And thou art holy, inhabiting the praises of Israel.
4In thee our fathers trusted;{HR}They trusted, and thou dost deliver them.
5Unto thee they cried and they were delivered;{HR}In thee they trusted and they were not ashamed.
6But I am a worm and not a man,{HR}A reproach of men and despised of the people.
7All those who see me mock me,{HR}They open wide with the lip, they shake the head.
8Commit [thyself] unto Jehovah;{HR}Let him deliver him;{HR}He will deliver him because he hath delighted in him.
9For thou [art] he that didst bring me forth from the womb,{HR}Causing me to trust upon the breasts of my mother.
10Upon thee was I cast from the womb;{HR}From the belly of my mother thou [art] my God.
11Be not far from me,{HR}For trouble is near,{HR}For there is no helper.
12Many bulls have surrounded me;{HR}Strong ones of Bashan have encompassed me.
13They opened their mouth upon me,{HR}[Like] a lion tearing in pieces and roaring.
14I have been poured out like water,{HR}And all my bones have been separated;{HR}My heart has become like wax,{HR}It is melted in the midst of my bowels.
15My strength has been dried up like a potsherd,{HR}And my tongue is cleaving to my jaws;{HR}And in the dust of death thou settest me.
16For dogs have surrounded me,{HR}The congregation of evil-doers have encompassed me,{HR}Piercing my hands and my feet.
17I number all my bones;{HR}They behold, they look upon me.
18They divide my garments amongst themselves{HR}And upon my vestment they cast lots.
19But thou, O Jehovah, be not far off;{HR}O my strength, make haste to my help.
20Deliver my soul from the sword,{HR}Mine only one from the power of the dog.
21Save me from the mouth of the lion,{HR}And from the horns of the buffaloes{HR}Thou hast answered me.
22I will declare thy name unto my brethren,{HR}In the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.
23Ye who fear Jehovah, praise him;{HR}All ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him;{HR}And fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.
24For he hath not despised nor hath he abhorred the affliction of the poor,{HR}And he hath not hidden his face from him,{HR}And when he cried for help unto him, he heard.
25Of thee [is] my praise in the great congregation;{HR}I will perform my vows before those who fear him.
26The humble eat and are satisfied;{HR}They praise Jehovah, who seek him;{HR}Your heart shall live forever.
27All the ends of the earth shall remember{HR}And shall turn unto Jehovah,{HR}And all tribes of Gentiles shall bow down before thee.
28For the kingdom is Jehovah's;{HR}And he ruleth among the Gentiles.
29All the fat ones of the earth have eaten and shall bow down;{HR}Before him shall bend all those who go down to the dust,{HR}And he [who] hath not kept alive his soul.
30A seed shall serve him;{HR}It shall be declared by the Lord to the generation;
31They shall come and shall tell his righteousness{HR}To a people that shall be born,{HR}That he hath done [it].
1A Psalm of David.{HR}Jehovah [is] my shepherd;{HR}I shall not want.
2In pastures of tender grass he causeth me to lie down,{HR}He leadeth me by the waters of rest.
3He restoreth my soul;{HR}He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4Yea when I shall walk through the valley of the shadow of death,{HR}I will fear no evil, for thou [art] with me;{HR}Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5Thou preparest before me a table in the presence of mine adversaries;{HR}Thou hast anointed my head with oil,{HR}My cup [is] overflowing.
6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life;{HR}And I shall dwell in the house of Jehovah to length of days.
1A Psalm of David.{HR}To Jehovah [belongeth] the earth and its fullness,{HR}The world and those who dwell in it.
2For he hath founded it upon the seas,{HR}And upon the rivers he establisheth it.
3Who shall ascend into the mountain of Jehovah,{HR}And who shall stand in the place of his holiness?
4The clean of hands and pure of heart,{HR}Who hath not lifted up his soul unto falsehood{HR}And hath not sworn to deceit.
5He shall receive a blessing from Jehovah{HR}And righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6This [is] the generation of those who seek him,{HR}Who seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.
7Lift up, O gates, your heads, and be lifted up,{HR}O doors of eternity, and the king of glory shall come in.
8Who [is] this king of glory?{HR}Jehovah strong and mighty,{HR}Jehovah mighty in battle.
9Lift up, O gates, your heads, and lift up yourselves,{HR}O doors of eternity, and the king of glory shall come in.
10Who [is] he, this king of glory?{HR}Jehovah of hosts, he [is] the king of glory. Selah.
1Of David.{HR}Unto thee, O Jehovah, do I lift up my soul.
2My God, in thee have I trusted;{HR}Let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
3Yea, all those who wait on thee shall not be ashamed;{HR}They shall be ashamed who deal falsely without a cause.
4Make me to know thy ways, O Jehovah;{HR}Teach me thy paths.
5Lead me in thy truth and teach me,{HR}For thou [art] the God of my salvation;{HR}For thee have I waited all the day.
6Remember thy tender mercies, O Jehovah,{HR}And thy kindness, for they [are] from everlasting.
7The sins of my youth and my transgressions remember thou not;{HR}According to thy mercy remember thou me,{HR}For thy goodness sake, O Jehovah.
8Good and upright [is] Jehovah;{HR}Therefore he teacheth sinners in the way.
9He guideth the meek in judgment{HR}And he teacheth the meek his way.
10All the paths of Jehovah [are] mercy and truth{HR}To those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11For thy name's sake, O Jehovah,{HR}Thou hast even pardoned mine iniquity,{HR}For it [is] great.
12Who [is] this, the man that feareth Jehovah?{HR}He teacheth him in the way he chooseth.
13His soul abideth in goodness,{HR}And his seed shall inherit the earth.
14The secret of Jehovah [is] for those who fear him,{HR}And his covenant, to instruct them.
15Mine eyes [are] continually unto Jehovah,{HR}For he bringeth forth my feet from a net.
16Turn thyself unto me and be gracious to me,{HR}For I [am] desolate and afflicted.
17The troubles of my heart have been enlarged;{HR}Bring me out of mine afflictions.
18Look upon mine affliction and my sorrow,{HR}And forgive all my sins.
19Look upon mine enemies, for they are many;{HR}And [with] a hatred of violence they have hated me.
20Keep my soul and deliver me;{HR}Let me not be ashamed, for I have trusted in thee.
21Integrity and uprightness shall preserve me,{HR}For I have waited for thee.
22Redeem Israel, O God, from all his distresses.
1Of David.{HR}Judge me, O Jehovah,{HR}For I have walked in mine integrity,{HR}And in Jehovah have I trusted;{HR}I shall not be moved.
2Prove me, O Jehovah, and try me;{HR}Purify my reins and my heart.
3For thy mercy [is] before mine eyes,{HR}And I have walked in thy truth.
4I have not sat with vain men,{HR}And with dissemblers I go not in.
5I have hated the congregation of evil doers,{HR}And with the wicked I sit not.
6I wash my hands in innocency,{HR}And I surround thine altar, O Jehovah,
7To proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving{HR}And to tell all thy marvelous deeds.
8O Jehovah, I have loved the habitation of thy house,{HR}And the dwelling place of thy glory.
9Gather not my soul with sinners,{HR}And my life with bloody men.
10In whose hands [is] an evil device,{HR}And their right hand is filled with a bribe.
11But I walk in mine integrity;{HR}Redeem me and be gracious to me.
12My foot hath stood in righteousness;{HR}In congregations will I bless Jehovah.
1Of David.{HR}Jehovah [is] my light and my salvation;{HR}Whom shall I fear?{HR}Jehovah is the fortress of my life;{HR}Of whom shall I be afraid?
2When evil doers drew near unto me to eat my flesh,{HR}Mine adversaries and mine enemies against me,{HR}They stumbled and fell.
3Though a host encamp against me, my heart doth not fear;{HR}Though war rise up against me, in this I [am] confident.
4One [thing] have I asked from Jehovah, that will I seek after;{HR}To dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life,{HR}To gaze upon the beauty of Jehovah and to consider in his temple.
5For he will hide me in his tabernacle in the day of evil;{HR}In the secret place of his tent will he hide me;{HR}He will set me upon a rock.
6And now shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me,{HR}And I will sacrifice in his tent sacrifices of joyful noise,{HR}I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto Jehovah.
7Hear, O Jehovah, my voice: I call,{HR}And be thou merciful unto me, and answer me.
8Unto thee my heart said, Seek ye my face:{HR}Thy face, O Jehovah, I seek;
9Hide not thy face from me,{HR}Turn not away in anger thy servant;{HR}Thou hast been my help;{HR}Leave me not and forsake me not,{HR}O God of my salvation.
10For my father and my mother have forsaken me,{HR}But Jehovah gathereth me.
11Teach me thy way, O Jehovah,{HR}And lead me in a path of righteousness{HR}Because of those who watch for me.
12Give me not unto the will of mine adversaries,{HR}For witnesses of falsehood have risen up against me{HR}And he that breatheth out violence.
13If I had not trusted{HR}To look upon the goodness of Jehovah{HR}In the land of the living!
14Wait for Jehovah;{HR}Be strong, and he shall strengthen thy heart;{HR}Yea, wait for Jehovah.
1Of David.{HR}Unto thee, O Jehovah, do I call;{HR}O my rock, be not silent to me,{HR}Lest thou be silent to me{HR}And I become like unto those that go down to the pit.
2Hear the voice of my supplications when I cry for help, unto thee,{HR}When I lift up my hands towards thy holy oracle.
3Take me not away with the wicked and with the doers of iniquity,{HR}Who speak peace with their neighbours and evil is in their hearts.
4Give unto them according to their deed{HR}And according to the evil of their works;{HR}According to the work of their hands give thou to them;{HR}Return their recompense unto them.
5For they attend not unto the deeds of Jehovah and unto the work of his hands;{HR}He will destroy them and will not build them.
6Blessed [be] Jehovah, for he hath heard the voice of my supplications.
7Jehovah [is] my strength and my shield,{HR}In him hath my heart trusted,{HR}And I have been helped;{HR}My heart also exulteth,{HR}And with my song do I praise him.
8Jehovah [is] strength to him,{HR}Yea, a stronghold of the salvation of his anointed [is] he.
9Save thy people and bless thine inheritance,{HR}And feed them and lift them up forever.
1A Psalm of David.{HR}Give unto Jehovah, ye sons of the mighty,{HR}Give unto Jehovah glory and strength.
2Give unto Jehovah the glory of his name;{HR}Bow down to Jehovah in the beauty of holiness.
3The voice of Jehovah [is] upon the waters;{HR}The God of glory hath thundered;{HR}Jehovah [is] upon many waters.
4The voice of Jehovah [is] in strength,{HR}The voice of Jehovah [is] in majesty.
5The voice of Jehovah breaketh cedars in pieces;{HR}Jehovah even breaketh the cedars of Lebanon in pieces.
6And he causeth them to skip like a calf,{HR}Lebanon and Sirion like a young buffalo.
7The voice of Jehovah heweth out flames of fire.
8The voice of Jehovah shaketh a wilderness,{HR}Jehovah shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.
9The voice of Jehovah causeth the hinds to bring forth{HR}And maketh bare the forests;{HR}And in his temple every one saith glory.
10Jehovah hath sat upon the flood,{HR}Yea, Jehovah sitteth king forever.
11Jehovah giveth strength unto his people,{HR}Jehovah blesseth his people with peace.
1A Psalm; a song of the dedication of the house of David.{HR}I extol thee, O Jehovah, for thou hast lifted me up,{HR}And hast not caused mine enemies to rejoice over me.
2O Jehovah, my God,{HR}I have cried for help unto thee,{HR}And thou healest me.
3Thou, O Jehovah, hast brought up my soul from Sheol;{HR}Thou hast kept me alive from going down to the pit.
4Sing praises unto Jehovah, ye his holy ones,{HR}And give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
5For a moment [is] in his anger, a life [is] in his favour;{HR}Weeping remaineth in the evening, but in the morning rejoicing.
6And I, I said in my prosperity I shall not be moved forever.
7O Jehovah, in thy favour thou hast established strength for my mountain;{HR}Thou hast hidden thy face: I have been confounded.
8Unto thee, O Jehovah, I call,{HR}And unto Jehovah do I supplicate.
9What gain [is] in my blood, in my going down to the pit?{HR}Shall dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?
10Hear, O Jehovah, and be gracious to me;{HR}O Jehovah, be a helper unto me.
11Thou hast turned my lamentation into a dance;{HR}Thou hast loosed for me my sackcloth,{HR}And thou girdest me with joy:
12So that glory may sing praise to thee and not be silent.{HR}O Jehovah, my God, I will give thee thanks forever.
1To the chief musician; a Psalm of David.{HR}In thee, O Jehovah, have I trusted;{HR}Let me not be ashamed forever;{HR}In thy righteousness deliver me.
2Incline thine ear unto me, deliver me speedily;{HR}Be to me for a rock of strength,{HR}For a house of defence to save me.
3For thou [art] my rock and my fortress,{HR}And for thy name's sake thou guidest and leadest me.
4Thou bringest me forth from the net which they hid for me,{HR}For thou [art] my fortress.
5Into thy hand I commit my spirit;{HR}Thou hast redeemed me, O Jehovah, God of truth.
6I have hated those who observe lying vanities;{HR}But I have trusted in Jehovah.
7I will exult and rejoice in thy mercy,{HR}Thou who hast {i}seen{/i} my affliction;{HR}Thou hast known my soul in distresses.
8And thou hast not delivered me up into the hand of the enemy;{HR}Thou hast made my feet to stand in the wide place.
9Be gracious unto me, O Jehovah, for I am distressed;{HR}Consumed with grief [is] mine eye, my soul and my belly.
10For my life hath been spent in sorrow, and my years in sighing;{HR}My strength hath been feeble through mine iniquity,{HR}And my bones have been consumed.
11I have been a reproach among all mine adversaries,{HR}And especially to my neighbours;{HR}And a fear to mine acquaintances who see me without ;{HR}They fled from me.
12I have been forgotten, as a dead man from the heart;{HR}I have been as a perishing vessel.
13For I have heard the slander of many;{HR}Fear [is] round about when they consult together against me;{HR}They have devised to take my life.
14But I have trusted in thee, O Jehovah;{HR}I have said, Thou art my God.
15My times [are] in thy hand;{HR}Deliver me from the hand of mine enemies{HR}And from my persecutors.
16Cause thy face to shine upon thy servant;{HR}In thy mercy save me.
17O Jehovah, I shall not be ashamed, for I have called on thee;{HR}The wicked shall be ashamed, they shall be silent in Sheol.
18The lips of falsehood shall be dumb,{HR}Which speak against the righteous one insolently, with pride and contempt.
19How great [is] thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for those who fear thee,{HR}Thou hast wrought for those who trust in thee before the sons of men.
20Thou hidest them in the secret place of thy presence from the plots of man,{HR}Thou concealest them in a tabernacle from the strife of tongues.
21Blessed [be] Jehovah, for he hath made his mercy wonderful to me in a city of defence.
22As for me, I said in my baste, I have been cut off from before thine eyes;{HR}Surely thou hast heard the voice of my supplication when I cried for help unto thee.
23Love Jehovah, all ye his saints:{HR}Jehovah preserveth the faithful and abundantly requiteth the proud doer.
24Be strong, and he will strengthen your heart all ye who wait for Jehovah.
1Of David: Maschil.{HR}Blessed [is] the one forgiven [as to] transgression, covered [as to] sin.
2Blessed [is] the man to whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity,{HR}And in his spirit [there is] no guile.
3When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day.
4For by day and by night thy hand is heavy upon me;{HR}My moisture hath been changed into the droughts of summer. Selah.
5I make known my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not covered;{HR}I said I will confess concerning my transgressions unto Jehovah,{HR}And thou hast taken away the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
6Because of this shall every godly one pray unto thee at a time for finding [thee];{HR}Surely in a flood of many waters they shall not come unto him.
7Thou [art] a hiding-place for me;{HR}Thou preservest me from distress,{HR}Thou surroundest me with shouts of deliverance. Selah.
8I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go;{HR}I will fix mine eye upon thee.
9Be ye not as a horse [or] as a mule, without understanding:{HR}With a bit and bridle his mouth is to be curbed lest he come near unto thee.
10Many sorrows [are there] to the wicked;{HR}But he that trusteth in Jehovah, mercy shall encompass him.
11Be glad in Jehovah and rejoice, ye righteous;{HR}And shout for joy, all ye upright of heart.
1Shout for joy, ye righteous, in Jehovah;{HR}Praise is comely for the upright.
2Give ye thanks unto Jehovah upon the harp;{HR}Upon a psaltery of ten strings sing ye praises unto him.
3Sing ye unto him a new song;{HR}Be ye skillful to play with shouting.
4For the word of Jehovah [is] upright,{HR}And all his works [are] in truth.
5He loveth righteousness and judgment;{HR}The earth is full of the mercy of Jehovah.
6By the word of Jehovah the heavens were made,{HR}And all their host by the breath of his mouth;
7Gathering together as a heap the waters of the sea,{HR}Putting the depths in storehouses.
8All the earth shall fear before Jehovah,{HR}All the inhabitants of the world shall be afraid before him.
9For he spake and it was;{HR}He commanded and it stood.
10Jehovah hath made void the counsel of the Gentiles;{HR}He hath frustrated the devices of the peoples .
11The counsel of Jehovah shall stand forever,{HR}The devices of his heart to all generations.
12Happy [is] the nation whose God is Jehovah,{HR}The people he hath chosen to himself for an inheritance.
13From the heavens Jehovah looked; he saw all the sons of men.
14From the place of his dwelling he looked upon all the inhabitants of the earth,
15He who formeth their hearts together, who considereth all their works.
16The king is not saved by the multitude of a host;{HR}A mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
17The horse [is] a vain thing for salvation,{HR}And by the greatness of his strength will he not deliver.
18Behold, the eye of Jehovah [is] towards those who fear him,{HR}To those who hope in his mercy,
19To deliver their soul from death{HR}And to keep them alive in famine.
20Our soul hath waited for Jehovah;{HR}He [is] our help and our shield.
21For in him our heart rejoiceth;{HR}For in his holy name have we trusted.
22Thy mercy, O Jehovah, shall be upon us,{HR}According as we have hoped in thee.
1Of David, when he changeth his judgment before Abimelech; and he driveth him away, and he departeth.{HR}I will bless Jehovah at all times:{HR}His praise [shall be] continually in my mouth.
2My soul shall glory in Jehovah;{HR}The afflicted shall hear and be glad.
3Exalt ye Jehovah with me,{HR}And let us extol his name together.
4I sought Jehovah, and he answered me,{HR}And he delivered me from all my fears.
5They looked unto him and they shone;{HR}And their faces shall not be ashamed.
6This afflicted one called and Jehovah heard{HR}And saved him out of all his distresses.
7The angel of Jehovah encampeth round about{HR}Those who fear him and delivereth them.
8Taste ye and see that Jehovah [is] good;{HR}Blessed [is] the man that trusteth in him.
9Fear ye Jehovah, ye his holy ones;{HR}For there is no want to those who fear him.
10Young lions have been in want{HR}And have suffered hunger;{HR}But those who seek Jehovah shall not lack any good thing.
11Come, ye children, hearken unto me:{HR}I will teach you the fear of Jehovah.
12Who [is] the man that desireth life,{HR}Loving days that he may see good?
13Keep thy tongue from evil{HR}And thy lips from speaking deceit.
14Depart from evil and do good;{HR}Seek peace and pursue it.
15The eyes of Jehovah [are] upon the righteous{HR}And his ears toward their cry.
16The face of Jehovah [is] against those that do evil,{HR}To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
17They cried, and Jehovah heard{HR}And he delivered them from all their distresses.
18Jehovah [is] nigh unto the broken in heart{HR}And he saveth the contrite in spirit.
19Many [are] the troubles of the righteous [one];{HR}But out of them all Jehovah delivereth him,
20Keeping all his bones:{HR}Not one of them hath been broken.
21Evil shall slay the wicked,{HR}And those who hate the righteous shall incur guilt.
22Jehovah redeemeth the soul of his servants,{HR}And all those who trust in him shall not incur guilt.
1Of David.{HR}Strive, O Jehovah, with mine adversaries;{HR}Fight with those that fight against me.
2Take hold of shield and buckler and arise for my help,
3And draw out the spear, and shut [the way] against my pursuers;{HR}Say unto my soul, I [am] thy salvation.
4They shall be ashamed and put to shame who seek after my soul;{HR}They shall be driven backward and confounded who devise my hurt.
5They shall be as chaff before the wind,{HR}And the angel of Jehovah overthrowing [them].
6Their way shall be darkness and slippery places;{HR}And the angel of Jehovah pursuing them.
7For without cause they have hidden a pit for me, their net;{HR}Without cause they have dug a pit for my soul.
8Destruction shall come upon him, he shall not know;{HR}And his net which he hid shall catch him;{HR}Into destruction shall he fall in it.
9And my soul shall rejoice in Jehovah,{HR}And shall be joyful in his salvation.
10All my bones shall say, O Jehovah, who is like unto thee?{HR}Delivering the poor from him that is stronger than he,{HR}And the poor and needy from him that spoileth him.
11False witnesses rise up; they ask me that which I have not known.
12They requite me evil instead of good [to the] bereaving of my soul.
13But as for me, when they were sick, my garment [was] sackcloth:{HR}I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returneth into my bosom.
14As if [he were] a neighbour, as if a brother to me,{HR}I have acted; like the mourning of a mother, mourning, I bowed down.
15But in my halting they rejoiced and were gathered together;{HR}The slanderers were gathered together against me,{HR}And I knew it not; they reviled and were not silent,
16With profane mockers [in] a feast, gnashing upon me [with] their teeth.
17O Lord, how long wilt thou behold?{HR}Restore my soul from their destructions,{HR}Mine only one from the young lions.
18I will praise thee in the great congregation;{HR}Among a strong people I will sing praise unto thee.
19Let not mine enemies rejoice over me falsely;{HR}My haters without cause wink the eye.
20For they speak not peace,{HR}But they devise deceitful words against the quiet ones of the earth.
21And they open wide their mouth upon me;{HR}They have said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen.
22Thou hast seen, O Jehovah;{HR}Keep not silent, O Lord, be not far from me.
23Awake up and arise for my judgment,{HR}My God and my Lord, for my cause.
24Judge me according to thy righteousness,{HR}O Jehovah my God,{HR}And let them not rejoice over me.
25Let them not say in their heart, Aha, our soul!{HR}Let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
26They shall be ashamed and confounded together who rejoice at my hurt;{HR}They shall be clothed with shame and reproach who magnify themselves against me.
27They shall shout for joy and rejoice who delight in my righteousness,{HR}And they shall say continually, Let Jehovah be magnified,{HR}who delighteth in the peace of his servant.
28And my tongue shall celebrate thy righteousness,{HR}Thy praise, all the day.
1To the chief musician; of the servant of Jehovah, of David.{HR}The transgression of the wicked saith in the innermost part of my heart,{HR}There is no fear of God before his eyes.
2For he hath flattered himself in his own eyes,{HR}Until that his iniquity is found out and hated.
3The words of his mouth [are] falsehood and deceit;{HR}He hath left off to be wise, to do well.
4He deviseth falsehood upon his bed,{HR}He setteth himself upon a way [that is] not good,{HR}He rejecteth not evil.
5O Jehovah, thy mercy [is] in the heavens,{HR}Thy truth [is] unto the clouds.
6Thy righteousness is like [the] mountains of God,{HR}Thy judgments [are] a great deep;{HR}Thou savest man and beast, O Jehovah.
7How precious [is] thy mercy, O God!{HR}And the sons of men shall trust in the shadow of thy wings.
8They shall be abundantly satisfied with drink from the fatness of thy house,{HR}And thou shalt make them drink the stream of thy pleasures.
9For with thee is the fountain of life:{HR}In thy light shall we see light.
10Continue thy mercy to those who know thee{HR}And thy righteousness to the upright in heart.
11The foot of pride shall not come to me,{HR}And let not the hand of the wicked move me.
12There the workers of iniquity have fallen;{HR}They have been thrust down and are not able to rise.
1Of David.{HR}Fret not thyself because of the evildoers;{HR}Be not envious at the workers of iniquity.
2For like grass they are speedily cut off,{HR}And like the greenness of the tender herb they do fade.
3Trust in Jehovah and do good,{HR}Inhabit the land and feed upon truth.
4Delight thyself also in Jehovah,{HR}And he will give thee the requests of thy heart.
5Roll thy way upon Jehovah;{HR}Trust also in him, and he will do [it].
6And he will bring forth thy righteousness as the light,{HR}And thy judgment as the noon-day.
7Be silent to Jehovah and wait for him;{HR}Fret not thyself because of him who maketh his way to prosper,{HR}Because of the man who doeth wicked devices.
8Cease from anger and forsake wrath;{HR}Fret not thyself only to do evil.
9For evil-doers shall be cut off,{HR}But those who wait for Jehovah,{HR}They shall inherit the earth.
10And yet a little and the wicked [man] is not,{HR}And thou considerest his place,{HR}And he is no more.
11But the meek shall inherit the earth{HR}And delight themselves in abundance of peace.
12The wicked [man] deviseth evil against the righteous [man]{HR}And gnasheth his teeth upon him.
13The Lord laugheth at him,{HR}For he hath seen that his day is come.
14A sword have the wicked drawn,{HR}And they have bent their bow,{HR}To cause the poor and needy to fall,{HR}To slay the upright in way.
15Their sword shall come into their own heart{HR}And their bows shall be broken.
16Better [is] a little to the righteous [man]{HR}Than the abundance of many wicked.
17For the arms of the wicked shall be broken,{HR}But Jehovah upholdeth the righteous.
18Jehovah knoweth the days of the upright,{HR}And their inheritance shall be forever.
19They shall not be ashamed in the time of evil,{HR}And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20For the wicked shall perish{HR}And the enemies of Jehovah as the precious part of lambs :{HR}They have vanished, into smoke they have vanished.
21The wicked [man] borroweth and payeth not,{HR}But the righteous [man] hath compassion and giveth.
22For his blessed ones shall inherit the earth,{HR}But his accursed ones shall be cut off.
23By Jehovah the steps of a man are established,{HR}And he delighteth in his way.
24If he falleth, he is not cast down;{HR}For Jehovah upholdeth his hand.
25I have been a youth, I have also become old:{HR}Yet have I not seen the righteous [man] forsaken,{HR}Nor his seed begging for bread.
26All the day [is he] being gracious and lending;{HR}And his seed [is] for a blessing.
27Depart from evil and do good, and dwell forever.
28For Jehovah loveth justice{HR}And forsaketh not his holy ones;{HR}They are preserved forever,{HR}But the seed of the wicked is cut off.
29The righteous shall inherit the earth{HR}And shall dwell forever upon it.
30The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom{HR}And his tongue speaketh justice.
31The law of his God [is] in his heart;{HR}None of his steps slip.
32The wicked [man] lieth in wait for the righteous [one]{HR}And seeketh to kill him.
33Jehovah will not leave him in his hand,{HR}And will not condemn him when he is judged.
34Wait for Jehovah and keep his ways,{HR}And he will exalt thee to inherit the land;{HR}When the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see [it].
35I have seen the wicked [man] strong{HR}And spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.
36And he passeth away and behold he is not;{HR}And I seek him, and he is not found.
37Mark the perfect [man]{HR}And behold the upright [man],{HR}For the end to [that] man [is] peace.
38But those who transgress are destroyed together;{HR}The end of the wicked hath been cut off.
39And the salvation of the righteous [is] from Jehovah,{HR}[He is] their refuge in the time of trouble.
40And Jehovah helpeth them and delivereth them;{HR}He will deliver them and save them{HR}Because they have trusted in him.
1A Psalm of David; to bring to remembrance.{HR}O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger,{HR}Nor chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
2For thine arrows have entered into me,{HR}And thy hand hath come down upon me.
3There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger;{HR}There is no peace in my bones because of my sin.
4For mine iniquities have passed over my head;{HR}As a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
5My wounds have stunk;{HR}They have consumed away because of my folly.
6I have been bowed down,{HR}I have been brought low to the utmost,{HR}All the day have I walked mourning.
7For my loins are filled with burning,{HR}And there is no soundness in my flesh.
8I have been feeble and broken to the uttermost;{HR}I have groaned because of the groaning of my heart.
9O Lord, before thee [is] all my desire,{HR}And my sighing hath not been hidden from thee.
10My heart hath panted;{HR}My strength hath forsaken me,{HR}And the light of mine eyes—{HR}Even they are not with me.
11My lovers and my neighbours stand aloof from my calamity,{HR}And my kinsmen have stood afar off.
12And those who seek after my soul have laid snares,{HR}And those who seek my hurt have spoken mischievous things,{HR}And all the day do they meditate deceits.
13And I as a deaf [man] hear not,{HR}And as a dumb [man] he openeth not his mouth.
14And I am as a man who heareth not{HR}And in whose mouth there are no reproofs.
15Because for thee, O Jehovah, have I waited;{HR}Thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.
16For I said, Lest they rejoice over me!{HR}At the moving of my foot they magnified themselves against me.
17For I am prepared for halting,{HR}And my pain [is] continually before me.
18For I will declare mine iniquity,{HR}I am afflicted because of my sin.
19But mine enemies have been strong in life,{HR}And those who hate me without cause are multiplied.
20And those who recompense me evil for good will oppose me{HR}Because of my pursuing good.
21Forsake me not, O Jehovah;{HR}O my God, be not far from me.
22Make haste to my help,{HR}O Lord, my salvation.
1To the chief musician, to Jeduthun; a psalm of David.{HR}I said, I will keep my ways, from sinning with my tongue;{HR}I will keep a muzzle to my mouth, while the wicked [man is] before me.
2I have been dumb [in] silence,{HR}I held my peace from good,{HR}But my pain was excited.
3My heart grew warm in the midst of me;{HR}In my musing the fire burneth:{HR}I spoke with my tongue,
4Make me to know, O Jehovah, my end,{HR}And the measure of my days, what it [is];{HR}Let me know how frail I am.
5Behold, thou hast made my days handbreadths,{HR}And my lifetime as nothing before thee:{HR}Surely all vanity [is] every man appointed. Selah.
6Surely in an image doth man walk;{HR}Surely in vain are they disquieted:{HR}He hoardeth, and knoweth not who shall gather them.
7And now what wait I for, O Lord?{HR}My expectation [is] from thee.
8From all my transgressions deliver me;{HR}Make me not the reproach of the fool.
9I was dumb, I opened not my mouth because thou didst [it].
10Remove from me thy stroke;{HR}From the strife of thy hand I am consumed.
11With chastisement for iniquity thou correctest man,{HR}And consumest like the moth what he desireth;{HR}Only vanity is every man. Selah.
12Hear my prayer, O Jehovah,{HR}And to my cry give ear;{HR}At my tears be not silent;{HR}For a stranger [am] I with thee,{HR}A sojourner like all my fathers.
13Look away from me,{HR}And let me comfort myself before I go and am not.
1To the chief musician; a psalm of David.{HR}Waiting I waited for Jehovah,{HR}And he inclined unto me and heard my cry.
2And he brought me up from a pit of noise,{HR}From the miry clay, and set my feet on a rock;{HR}He fixed my steps.
3And he put in my mouth a new song, praise to our God:{HR}Many shall {i}see{/i} and fear, and trust in Jehovah.
4Blessed the man who hath made Jehovah his trust,{HR}And hath not turned round to the proud{HR}And those who swerve to falsehood.
5Great things hast thou done, O Jehovah my God;{HR}Thy wonderful deeds and thy thoughts to us none can set in order to thee:{HR}I would declare and speak—they are too many to be numbered.
6Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire;{HR}Mine ears didst thou dig;{HR}Burnt-offering and sin-offering thou didst not ask.
7Then I said, Behold, I come:{HR}In the volume of the book it is written of me:
8To do thy will, my God, I delight;{HR}And thy law [is] in the midst of my bowels.
9I have announced righteousness in the great congregation;{HR}Behold, I will not refrain my lips; O Jehovah, thou hast known.
10Thy righteousness I hid not in the midst of my heart;{HR}Thy faithfulness and thy salvation I declared;{HR}I concealed not thy mercy and thy truth from the great congregation.
11Thou, O Jehovah, wilt not withhold thy compassion from me;{HR}Thy mercy and thy truth will always preserve me.
12For evils till there is no number have encompassed me;{HR}Mine iniquities have overtaken me, and I have not been able to see;{HR}They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart hath left me.
13Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me;{HR}O Jehovah, make haste to my help.
14They shall be ashamed and confounded together that seek my soul to destroy it;{HR}Driven back and disgraced shall they be that wish my hurt.
15They shall be desolate as a reward for their shame{HR}That say to me, Aha, aha.
16Let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee;{HR}Let those that love thy salvation say always, Jehovah be magnified.
17But I poor and needy—the Lord considereth me.{HR}My help and deliverer [art] thou; O my God, delay not.
1To the chief musician; a psalm of David.{HR}Blessed [is] he that payeth attention to the poor;{HR}In the day of evil Jehovah will deliver him.
2Jehovah will preserve him and keep him alive:{HR}He shall be prospered in the land;{HR}And do not thou give him up to the will of his enemies.
3Jehovah will hold him up on the bed of languishing:{HR}All his bed thou hast turned in his sickness.
4I said, O Jehovah, be merciful to me,{HR}Heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee.
5Mine enemies speak evil as to me,{HR}When shall he die and his name perish?
6And if he come to see [me] he speaketh falsehood;{HR}His heart gathereth iniquity to itself;{HR}He goeth out, he speaketh outside.
7All that hate me whisper together against me;{HR}Against me they meditate evil to me.
8A word of Belial is poured into him;{HR}And he that hath lain down shall rise no more.
9Even the man of my peace in whom I confided,{HR}Eating my bread, hath lifted the heel against me.
10But thou, O Jehovah, be merciful to me,{HR}And raise me up, and I will requite them.
11By this I know that thou hast delighted in me,{HR}Because mine enemy shall not exult over me.
12And as for me, thou hast upheld me in mine integrity{HR}And thou settest me before thy face forever.
13Blessed [be] Jehovah the God of Israel{HR}From everlasting and to everlasting.{HR}Amen, and amen.
1To the chief musician; Maschil, for the sons of Korah.{HR}As the hart longeth after the brooks of water,{HR}So my soul longeth after thee, Ο God.
2My soul hath thirsted for God, for the living God:{HR}When shall I come and appear before God?
3My tears have been food to me by day and by night,{HR}Whilst they say unto me all the day, Where [is] thy God?
4These things do I remember, and I pour out my soul within me;{HR}When I pass through the crowd, I go softly with them{HR}Unto the house of God with the voice of singing and praise,{HR}A multitude keeping a feast.
5Why art thou cast down,{HR}[O] my soul, and hast been disquieted within me?{HR}Wait thou for God, for I shall yet praise him{HR}[For] the help of his countenance.
6O my God, my soul is cast down within me;{HR}Therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan{HR}And the Hermonites, from the mountain Mizar.
7Deep is calling unto deep at the voice of thy waterfalls;{HR}All thy waves and thy billows have passed over me.
8By day Jehovah commandeth his mercy,{HR}And by night his song [is] with me,{HR}Supplication to the God of my life.
9I will say unto God my rock,{HR}Why hast thou forgotten me?{HR}Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
10With a sword in my bones mine oppressors have reproached me,{HR}When they say all the day unto me, Where is thy God?
11Why art thou cast down,{HR}[O] my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me?{HR}Wait thou for God, for I shall yet praise him,{HR}The help of my countenance and my God.
1Judge me, O God, and plead my cause with an ungodly nation;{HR}From a man of deceit and iniquity do thou deliver me.
2For thou [art] the God of my refuge: why hast thou cast me off?{HR}Why do I walk mourning under the oppression of the enemy?
3Send thou thy light and thy truth: they shall lead me,{HR}They shall bring me unto the mountain of thy holiness and unto thy tabernacles.
4And I will go unto the altar of God, unto God the gladness of my joy,{HR}And I will give thanks unto thee with the harp, Ο God, my God.
5Why art thou cast down, Ο my soul?{HR}And why art thou disquieted within me?{HR}Wait thou for God, for I shall yet praise him,{HR}The help of my countenance and my God.
1To the chief musician; for the sons of Korah, Maschil.{HR}O God, with our ears have we heard;{HR}Our fathers have declared unto us the work{HR}[Which] thou didst in their days, in the days of old.
2Thou [with] thy hand didst drive out the Gentiles and plant them;{HR}Thou didst evil to nations and didst send them forth.
3For not with their sword did they take possession of the land,{HR}Neither did their arm deliver them;{HR}But thy right hand and thine arm and the light of thy countenance,{HR}Because thou takedst pleasure in them.
4Thou [art] he, my king,{HR}O God; command the deliverances of Jacob.
5By thee will we push down our adversaries;{HR}In thy name will we tread under foot those that rise up against us.
6For not in my bow will I trust,{HR}And my sword shall not save me.
7For thou hast saved us from our adversaries,{HR}And those who hate us thou hast put to shame.
8In God have we praised all the day,{HR}And we will give thanks to thy name forever. Selah.
9But now thou hast cast off and put us to shame,{HR}And thou goest not forth with our armies.
10Thou causest us to turn back before the enemy,{HR}And those who hate us have taken spoil for themselves.
11Thou givest us as sheep (for) food,{HR}And among the Gentiles hast thou scattered us.
12Thou sellest thy people without gain,{HR}And hast not increased by their price.
13Thou settest us [as] a reproach to our neighbours,{HR}A scorn and a derision to those that are round about us.
14Thou settest us a by-word among the Gentiles,{HR}A shaking of the head among the nations.
15All the day my shame [is] before me,{HR}And the confusion of my face hath covered me,
16Because of the voice of him who reproacheth and blasphemeth,{HR}Because of the face of the enemy and the avenger.
17All this has come upon us;{HR}Yet have we not forgotten thee,{HR}And we have not acted falsely to thy covenant.
18Our heart hath not turned backward,{HR}Nor hath our step declined from thy path.
19But thou hast broken us to pieces in the place of large serpents,{HR}And hast covered us over with the shadow of death.
20If we have forgotten the name of our God,{HR}And have stretched out our hands to a strange god,
21Will not God search this out?{HR}For he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
22But for thy sake we have been killed all the day,{HR}We have been counted as sheep for slaughter.
23Awake; why sleepest thou, Ο Lord?{HR}Arise, cast us not off forever.
24Why hidest thou thy face?{HR}[Why] forgettest thou our affliction and our oppression?
25For our soul hath been bowed down to the dust,{HR}Our belly hath cleaved unto the earth.
26Arise, a help unto us,{HR}And redeem us for thy mercy's sake.
1To the chief musician upon Shoshannim; to the sons of Korah, Maschil, a song of loves.{HR}My heart hath overflowed [with] a good matter;{HR}I am declaring my works to the king;{HR}My tongue [is] the pen of a ready writer.
2Thou hast been very fair above the sons of men;{HR}Grace hath been poured into thy lips;{HR}Therefore God hath blessed thee forever.
3Gird thy sword upon the thigh,{HR}Ο mighty one, thy glory and thy majesty.
4And [in] thy majesty prosper, ride,{HR}For the cause of truth and meekness of righteousness;{HR}And thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
5Thine arrows [are] sharpened—{HR}The peoples fall under thee—{HR}In the heart of the king's enemies.
6Thy throne, Ο God, [is] for ever and ever;{HR}A sceptre of righteousness [is] the sceptre of thy kingdom.
7Thou hast loved righteousness and hated wickedness:{HR}Therefore God, [even] thy God,{HR}Hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy companions.
8Myrrh and aloes [and] cassia [are] all thy garments;{HR}From the palaces of ivory stringed instruments have gladdened thee.
9Daughters of kings [are] among thine honourable women;{HR}At thy right hand hath stood the queen in fine gold of Ophir.
10Hear, Ο daughter, and see, and incline thine ear,{HR}And forget thy people and thy father's house.
11And the king greatly desireth thy beauty;{HR}For he [is] thy lord; and bow down thyself to him.
12And the daughter of Tyre [shall be there] with a gift;{HR}The rich among the people shall entreat thy face.
13All glorious is the king's daughter within;{HR}Of gold-embroidered work [is] her garment.
14In embroidered work of many colours is she brought unto the king;{HR}The virgins after her, her companions, are brought to thee.
15They are led forth with gladness and joy;{HR}They enter into the palace of the king.
16Instead of thy fathers shall be thy sons;{HR}Them shalt thou appoint princes in all the earth.
17I will make mention of thy name in all generations:{HR}Therefore peoples shall give thee thanks for ever and ever.
1To the chief musician, for the sons of Korah; upon Alamoth, a song.{HR}God [is] a refuge and strength to us,{HR}A help in distresses very readily found.
2Therefore will we not fear in the changing of the earth{HR}And in the moving of the mountains into the heart of the seas.
3Its waters roar, they are troubled;{HR}The mountains tremble with its pride. Selah.
4[There is] a river; its streams make glad the city of God,{HR}The holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.
5God [is] in her midst: she shall not be moved;{HR}God shall help her at the appearing of morning.
6Nations raged, kingdoms were moved:{HR}He uttered his voice; the earth melteth.
7Jehovah of hosts [is] with us;{HR}The God of Jacob [is] a refuge to us. Selah.
8Come, behold the works of Jehovah,{HR}Who hath set desolations in the earth,
9Causing wars to cease unto the end of the earth;{HR}He breaketh the bow and cutteth the spear;{HR}He burneth the chariots in the fire.
10Leave off, and know that I [am] God:{HR}I will be exalted among the nations;{HR}I will be exalted in the earth.
11Jehovah of hosts [is] with us;{HR}The God of Jacob [is] our refuge. Selah.
1To the chief musician; for the sons of Korah, a psalm.{HR}Clap your hands, all ye peoples;{HR}Shout unto God with the voice of rejoicing.
2For Jehovah Most High [is] to be feared,{HR}A great king over all the earth.
3He destroyeth peoples under us,{HR}And Gentiles under our feet.
4He chooseth our inheritance for us,{HR}The excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.
5God hath gone up with a shout,{HR}Jehovah with the voice of a trumpet.
6Sing praises unto God, sing praises;{HR}Sing praises unto our king,sing praises.
7For king of all the earth [is] God;{HR}Sing ye a Maschil.
8God hath reigned over nations,{HR}God hath sat down upon the throne of his holiness.
9The princes of the peoples are gathered together,{HR}[With] the people of the God of Abraham;{HR}For unto God [belong] the shields of the earth;{HR}He hath been greatly exalted.
1A song, a psalm for the sons of Korah,{HR}Great [is] Jehovah and exceedingly to be praised,{HR}In the city of our God, the mountain of his holiness.
2Beautiful for elevation,{HR}The joy of the whole earth [is] the mountain of Zion,{HR}[On] the sides of the north; the city of the great King.
3God hath been known in her palaces as a refuge.
4For lo! the kings met, they passed through together.
5They saw, so they wondered, they were terrified, they fled in alarm.
6Trembling seized them there, pain as of one bringing forth.
7With an east wind thou breakest the ships of Tarshish.
8As we have heard,{HR}So have we seen in the city of Jehovah of hosts,{HR}In the city of our God:{HR}God will establish her forever. Selah.
9We have meditated on thy mercy,{HR}Ο God, in the midst of thy temple.
10According to thy name, Ο God, so is thy praise,{HR}Unto the ends of the earth:{HR}Of righteousness is thy right hand full.
11Mount Zion rejoiceth,{HR}The daughters of Judah exult because of thy judgments.
12Surround ye Zion and encompass her;{HR}Count ye her towers.
13Set your heart to her rampart;{HR}Consider her palaces,{HR}That ye may recount [it] to the generation following.
14For this God [is] our God [for] ever and ever;{HR}He will lead us until death.
1To the chief musician; for the sons of Korah, a psalm.{HR}Hear ye this, all ye peoples;{HR}Give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world,
2Both low and high, rich and poor together.
3My mouth speaketh wisdom,{HR}And the meditation of my heart [is] understanding.
4I incline mine ear to a parable,{HR}I open upon a harp my riddle.
5Why should I fear in the days of evil?{HR}The iniquity of my supplanters surroundeth me,
6Those who trust in their wealth{HR}And boast themselves in the multitude of their riches.
7In no wise can a man redeem a brother,{HR}He giveth not to God a ransom for him
8(But the redemption-price of their soul [is] precious,{HR}And it hath ceased forever),
9That he should still live forever{HR}And not see corruption.
10For he seeth [that] wise men die;{HR}Together the fool and the brutish man perish{HR}And have left to others their wealth.
11Their inward thought [is] their houses [shall be] forever,{HR}Their dwelling-places to generation and generation;{HR}They have called the lands by their names.
12But man in honour abideth not;{HR}He hath become like the cattle,{HR}They have been cut off.
13This their way [is] folly for them;{HR}Yet those who come after them will take pleasure in their words. Selah.
14Like sheep they are laid in Sheol;{HR}Death feedeth on them,{HR}And the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning;{HR}But their form consumeth in the grave,{HR}From their dwelling [consigned] to it.
15Surely God will redeem my soul from the hand of Sheol,{HR}For he will receive me. Selah.
16Fear thou not when a man becometh rich,{HR}When the glory of his house increaseth.
17For he taketh not all this away when he dieth;{HR}His glory shall not descend after him.
18Though (for) he blesseth his soul in his life,{HR}And men will praise thee when thou doest good to thyself,
19It shall go to the generation of his fathers;{HR}They shall never see light.
20Man in honour and that understandeth not hath become like the cattle;{HR}That are cut off.
1A psalm of Asaph.{HR}God (El), Elohim-Jehovah, hath spoken{HR}And called the earth from the rising of the sun unto its setting.
2Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.
3Our God will come and not be silent:{HR}A fire before him shall devour,{HR}And around him it shall be very tempestuous.
4He calleth to the heavens from above{HR}And to the earth to judge his people.
5Gather unto me my saints making my covenant by sacrifice.
6And the heavens declare his righteousness for God [is] judge himself. Selah.
7Hear, my people, and I will speak;{HR}O Israel, and I will testify unto (against) thee:{HR}God, thy God [am] I.
8I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices{HR}And thy burnt offerings continually before me.
9I will take no bullock out of thy house,{HR}[Nor] he-goats out of thy folds.
10For mine [is] every beast of the forest,{HR}Cattle upon a thousand hills ;
11I know every bird of the mountains,{HR}And the moving creature of the field [is] mine.
12If I were hungry, I would not tell thee;{HR}For mine [is] the world and its fullness.
13Should I eat the flesh of bulls ,{HR}And drink the blood of he-goats?
14Sacrifice unto God thanksgiving{HR}And pay unto the Most High thy vows;
15And call upon me in the day of trouble:{HR}I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
16And to the wicked God saith,{HR}What [is it] to thee , to declare my statutes,{HR}And take my covenant into thy mouth?
17And thou hast hated correction,{HR}And hast cast my words behind thee.
18If thou sawest a thief,{HR}Thou didst take pleasure in him ,{HR}And with adulterers [was] thy portion.
19Thy mouth thou hast sent out (let loose) to evil,{HR}And thy tongue frameth deceit.
20Thou sittest, thou speakest against thy brother;{HR}Against thy mother's son thou utterest slander.
21These things hast thou done, and I kept silence;{HR}Thou thoughtest I was altogether, like thee.{HR}I will reprove thee and set [them] in order before thine eyes.
22Now consider this, forgetters of God (Eloah),{HR}Lest I tear [you] in pieces, and there be no deliverer.
23He that sacrificeth praise glorifieth me,{HR}And to him that ordereth [his] way will I show the salvation of God.
1To the chief musician, a psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him after he went unto Bathsheba.{HR}Be gracious unto me, O God, according to thy mercy:{HR}According to the multitude of thy compassions blot out my transgressions.
2Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity,{HR}And cleanse me from my sin.
3For I acknowledge my transgressions,{HR}And my sin is continually before me.
4Against thee, thee only, have I sinned,{HR}And have done the evil in thy sight (eyes);{HR}That thou mayest be justified when thou speakest,{HR}[And be] clear when thou judgest.
5Behold, in iniquity was I born,{HR}And in sin did my mother conceive me.
6Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts,{HR}And in the hidden [part] thou wilt make me to know wisdom.
7Purge me with hyssop,{HR}And I shall be clean; wash me,{HR}And I shall be whiter than snow.
8Make me to hear joy and gladness;{HR}The bones thou hast broken shall rejoice.
9Hide thy face from my sins,{HR}And blot out all mine iniquities.
10Create for me a pure heart, O God,{HR}And a steadfast spirit renew within me.
11Cast me not out from thy presence,{HR}And the spirit of thy holiness take not from me.
12Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation,{HR}And let a free spirit uphold me.
13I will teach transgressors thy ways,{HR}And sinners shall turn unto thee.
14Deliver me from blood, Ο God, God of my salvation;{HR}My tongue shall celebrate thy righteousness.
15Ο Lord, open my lips,{HR}And my mouth shall declare thy praise.
16For thou desirest not sacrifice: else would I give it;{HR}In burnt offering thou dost not take pleasure.
17The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit;{HR}A heart broken and contrite, Ο God, thou wilt not despise.
18Do good in thy good pleasure to Zion;{HR}Build the walls of Jerusalem.
19Then thou shalt delight in sacrifices of righteousness,{HR}Burnt offering and whole burnt offering;{HR}Then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
1To the chief musician; an instruction of David, when Doeg the Edomite went in, and told Saul and said to him, David went to the house of Ahimelech.{HR}Why boastest thou thyself in evil, mighty man?{HR}The mercy of God [is] all the day.
2Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs,{HR}As a sharp razor, working deceit.
3Thou hast loved evil [rather] than good,{HR}Falsehood [rather] than speaking righteousness. Selah.
4Thou hast loved all words of devouring,{HR}O tongue of deceit.
5God shall likewise destroy thee forever;{HR}He shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of tent,{HR}And root thee out of the land of the living. Selah.
6The righteous also shall see and fear,{HR}And laugh at him.
7Behold, the man that made not God his strength,{HR}But confided in the abundance of his riches;{HR}He strengthened himself in his wickedness.
8But for me, I [am] like a green olive tree in the house of God;{HR}I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.
9I will praise thee forever,{HR}For thou hast done [it],{HR}And I will hope in thy name,{HR}For [it is] good before thy saints.
1To the chief musician, upon Mahalath; an instruction of David.{HR}The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.{HR}They have corrupted themselves,{HR}They have done abominable iniquity;{HR}There is none doing good.
2God looked down from the heavens upon the sons of men{HR}To see if there were any understanding, seeking God.
3Every one of them hath departed;{HR}Together they are become corrupt;{HR}There is none doing good,{HR}Not even one.
4Have not the workers of iniquity known,{HR}Eating my people [as] they have eaten bread?{HR}They called not upon God.
5There have they greatly feared [where] no fear was;{HR}For God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee.{HR}Thou hast put [them] to shame,{HR}For God hath rejected them.
6Who will give out of Zion the salvation of Israel?{HR}When God turneth the captivity of his people,{HR}Jacob shall rejoice, Israel shall be glad.
1To the chief musician, upon Neginoth ; an instruction of David, when the Ziphites went in and said to Saul, Is not David hiding himself with us?{HR}O God, by thy name save me,{HR}By thy might judge (vindicate) me.
2O God, hear my prayer;{HR}Give ear to the words of my mouth.
3For strangers are risen up against me,{HR}And oppressors seek after my soul;{HR}They set not God before them. Selah.
4Behold, God [is] a helper for me;{HR}The Lord [is] with them that uphold my soul.
5He will requite the evil to my adversaries;{HR}In thy truth cut them off.
6With a freewill offering I will sacrifice unto thee;{HR}I will praise thy name, O Jehovah, for [it is] good.
7For out of all trouble he delivered me;{HR}And mine eye hath looked upon mine enemies.
1To the chief musician, on Neginoth : an instruction of David.{HR}Give ear to my prayer, O God,{HR}And hide not thyself from my supplication.
2Attend unto me and answer me.{HR}I am restless in my plaint and moan,{HR}Because of the voice of the enemy,
3Because of the oppression of the wicked;{HR}For they cast iniquity upon me,{HR}And in anger they persecute me.
4My heart is writhing within me,{HR}And the terrors of death have fallen upon me.
5Fear and trembling are come upon me,{HR}And horror hath overwhelmed me.
6And I said, Who will give me wings as the dove?{HR}I would fly away and be at rest.
7Behold, I would flee far off,{HR}I would lodge in the wilderness. Selah.
8I would hasten my escape from stormy wind, from tempest.
9Swallow up, O Lord, divide their tongue;{HR}For I have seen violence and strife in the city.
10Day and night they surround it upon its walls;{HR}And iniquity and mischief [are] in its midst.
11Perversities [are] in its midst;{HR}And oppression and deceit depart not from its streets.
12For [it was] not an enemy reproached me:{HR}Then I had borne [it];{HR}Neither did he that hateth me magnify [himself] against me:{HR}Then had I hidden myself from him;
13But thou, a man mine equal,{HR}Mine intimate, my familiar!
14We who together sweetened counsel,{HR}To the house of God we walked in the throng.
15Let death seize them,{HR}Let them go down alive [to] Sheol.{HR}For evils [are] in their dwelling, in their midst.
16As for me, unto God will I call;{HR}And Jehovah will save me.
17Evening and morning and noon I will complain and moan;{HR}And he will hear my voice.
18He redeemed my soul in peace from the war against me,{HR}For many were [contending] with me.
19God will hear and answer (afflict) them—{HR}He that is seated of old, Selah—{HR}Who have no changes and fear not God.
20He put forth his hands against those at peace with him;{HR}He profaned his covenant.
21Smooth as butter was his mouth,{HR}And war his heart;{HR}His words were softer than oil,{HR}And [yet] they are drawn swords.
22Cast upon Jehovah thy burden ,{HR}And {i}he{/i} will sustain thee;{HR}He will never suffer the righteous to be moved.
23And thou, O God, wilt bring them down to the pit of corruption:{HR}Men of blood and deceit shall not live out half their days.{HR}But for me, I will trust in thee.
1To the chief musician, as the silent dove of the distant, of David, Michtam ; when the Philistines took him in Gath.{HR}Be gracious unto me, O God; for man would swallow me up;{HR}All the day fighting he oppresseth me.
2They that lie in wait for me would swallow [me] up all the day,{HR}For many fight proudly against me.
3The day I am afraid I will trust in thee.
4In God will I praise his word;{HR}In God have I trusted;{HR}I will not fear:{HR}What shall flesh do unto me?
5All the day they wrest my words;{HR}All their devices [are] against me for evil.
6They gather themselves together, they hide,{HR}They mark my steps while they wait for my soul.
7Shall they escape by iniquity?{HR}In anger cast down the peoples, O God.
8{i}Thou{/i}, countest my wanderings:{HR}Put my tears in thy bottle;{HR}[Are] they not in thy book?
9Then shall mine enemies turn back in the day I shall call:{HR}This I know, for God [is] for me.
10In God will I praise [the] word;{HR}In Jehovah will I praise [the] word.
11In God have I trusted,{HR}I will not fear:{HR}What shall man do unto me?
12Upon me, O God, [are] thy vows:{HR}I will render thank-offerings unto thee.
13For thou hast delivered my soul from death:{HR}[Wilt thou] not [deliver] my feet from falling,{HR}That I may walk before God in the light of the living.
1To the chief musician; Al-tascheth , of David, Michtam, on his fleeing from Saul in the cave.{HR}Be gracious unto me, O God, be gracious unto me;{HR}For my soul [is] trusting in thee;{HR}And in the shadow of thy wings will I trust until mischiefs shall pass.
2I will call unto God Most High,{HR}Unto God that perfecteth for me.
3He will send from the heavens and save me:{HR}He that would swallow me up reviled! Selah.{HR}God will send his mercy and his truth.
4My soul [is] in the midst of lions;{HR}I will lie down with those on fire, the sons of men,{HR}Their teeth spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
5Be exalted above the heavens, O God;{HR}Above all the earth [be] thy glory!
6A net they prepared for my steps;{HR}My soul was bowed down;{HR}They digged a pit before me;{HR}They fell into the midst of it. Selah.
7Fixed [is] my heart, O God, fixed my heart;{HR}I will sing, yea, I will sing psalms (play).
8Awake, my glory! awake, lute and harp!{HR}I will wake the dawn .
9O Lord, among the peoples,{HR}I will give thee thanks;{HR}{i}Of thee will I sing psalms among the nations{/i}:
10For thy mercy [is] great unto the heavens,{HR}And thy truth unto the clouds.
11Be exalted above the heavens,{HR}O God; thy glory [be] above all the earth.
1To the chief musician, Al-tascheth , of David, Michtam .{HR}Silence indeed! do ye speak righteousness?{HR}Do ye judge equitably, sons of men?
2Yea, in heart ye work iniquities;{HR}In the earth ye weigh the violence of your hands.
3The wicked are estranged from the womb;{HR}They err from the birth (belly), speaking lies.
4They have poison after the likeness of the poison of a serpent,{HR}As the deaf adder which stoppeth its ear,
5Which will not hearken to the voice of enchanters,{HR}Of one charming charms most wise.
6O God, destroy their teeth in their mouth;{HR}Shatter the great teeth of the young lions, O Jehovah.
7Let them melt away as waters, let them go away.{HR}When he sendeth his arrows, be they as those cut off.
8As a snail melteth, let them pass;{HR}As abortion of a woman, let them not see the sun.
9Before your pots feel a thorn,{HR}Whether green or burning,{HR}Let them whirl away.
10The righteous one shall rejoice,{HR}For he hath seen vengeance;{HR}His steps he shall wash in the blood of the wicked one;
11And a man shall say, Surely the righteous one hath fruit;{HR}Surely there is a God judging in the earth.
1To the chief musician; Al-tascheth , of David, Michtam; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to put him to death.{HR}Deliver me from mine enemies, my God;{HR}Set me on high from those that rise up against me.
2Deliver me from doers of iniquity,{HR}And save me from men of blood.
3For, behold, they lie in wait for my soul;{HR}Strong ones assemble against me:{HR}Not [for] my transgression, not my sin, Jehovah.
4Without [my] iniquity they run and set themselves:{HR}Awake to meet me and see.
5And thou, Jehovah, God of hosts, God of Israel,{HR}Arise to visit all the nations;{HR}Be not gracious to any plotters of iniquity. Selah.
6Let them return at the evening,{HR}Let them howl like the dog,{HR}And go around the city.
7Behold, they belch out with their mouth:{HR}Swords [are] in their lips; for who heareth?
8But thou, Jehovah, wilt laugh at them;{HR}Thou wilt mock at all the nations.
9Their strength! I will watch for thee,{HR}For God is my high place.
10The God of my mercy will come to meet me;{HR}God will make me gaze on mine enemies.
11Slay them not, lest my people forget;{HR}Scatter them in thy power and bring them down,{HR}O Lord our shield.
12The sin of their mouth [is] the word of their lips;{HR}And they shall be taken in their pride,{HR}And for cursing and falsehood they will tell.
13Consume in wrath, consume [them],{HR}And let them be no more;{HR}And let them know that God ruleth in Jacob{HR}To the ends of the earth. Selah.
14And at the evening let them return,{HR}Let them howl like the dog,{HR}And go around the city.
15They shall wander for food;{HR}If they be not satisfied,{HR}Then they tarry all night.
16And for me, I will sing of thy strength,{HR}And will in the morning shout for joy of thy mercy;{HR}For thou hast been a high place to me,{HR}And a refuge in the day of trouble to me.
17My strength, unto thee will I sing psalms,{HR}For God is my high place,{HR}The God of my mercy.
1To the chief musician, on Shushan of testimony; Michtam of David to teach ; when he strove with Syria of Mesopotamia, and Syria of Zobah, and Joab returned and smote Edom in the valley of salt, twelve thousand.{HR}O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast rent us,{HR}Thou hast been angry; turn again to us.
2Thou hast made the earth to tremble,{HR}Thou hast rent it; heal its breaches, for it shaketh.
3Thou hast shown thy people hard things,{HR}Thou hast made us drink the wine of reeling.
4Thou hast given to those that fear thee a banner{HR}To be displayed because of the truth. Selah.
5That thy beloved may be delivered,{HR}Save [with] thy right hand and answer me .
6God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult;{HR}I will divide Shechem,{HR}And the valley of Succoth will I mete out.
7Gilead [is] mine, and mine Manasseh,{HR}Ephraim the strength of my head,{HR}Judah my lawgiver .
8Moab [is] my washpot;{HR}On Edom will I cast my shoe;{HR}On account of me, Philistia, shout aloud.
9Who will bring me [to] the city of defence?{HR}Who hath led me up to Edom?
10(Wilt) not thou, O God (who) cast us off and didst not go forth,{HR}O God, with our hosts?
11Give us help from trouble,{HR}For vain [is] man's salvation.
12Through God we shall do valiantly;{HR}And he will tread down our troublers.
1To the chief musician, on a stringed instrument, of David.{HR}Hear, O God, my cry;{HR}Attend unto my prayer.
2From the end of the earth I will call unto thee,{HR}When my heart is overwhelmed:{HR}To a rock higher than I thou wilt lead me.
3For thou hast been a refuge unto me,{HR}A tower of strength from before the enemy.
4I will sojourn in thy tent forever,{HR}I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.
5For thou, O God, hast heard my vows,{HR}Thou hast given [me] the inheritance of those that fear thy name.
6Thou wilt add days to the days of the king;{HR}His years shall be as many generations .
7He shall abide (sit) before God forever:{HR}Mercy and truth afford;{HR}Let them preserve him.
8So will I sing psalms to thy name forever,{HR}Paying my vows from day to day.
1To the chief musician, on Jeduthun, a psalm of David.{HR}Only on God [is] my soul still ;{HR}From him [is] my salvation.
2Only he [is] my rock and my salvation, my high place;{HR}I shall not be greatly moved.
3How long will ye set upon a man?{HR}Will ye murder, all of you,{HR}One like a wall inclined,{HR}A fence thrust down?
4Only they consult to thrust from his dignity;{HR}They delight in lies;{HR}They bless with their mouth,{HR}And in their inward part they curse. Selah.
5Only on God be still, my soul,{HR}For from him [is] my expectation.
6Only he [is] my rock and my salvation,{HR}My high place;{HR}I shall not be moved.
7On God [resteth] my salvation and my glory;{HR}The rock of my strength,{HR}My refuge [is] in God.
8Confide in him at every time, O people;{HR}Pour out before him your heart:{HR}God [is] a refuge for us. Selah.
9Only a breath [are] lowborn men,{HR}A lie are highborn men;{HR}In a balance they go up less than a breath together.
10Confide not in oppression,{HR}And in robbery be not vain;{HR}If riches increase,{HR}Set not [your] heart [on them].
11Once hath God spoken;{HR}Twice have I heard this,{HR}That power [belongeth] to God.
12And to thee, O Adonai, [belongeth] mercy;{HR}For thou renderest to man according to his work.
1A psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.{HR}O God, my God [art] thou;{HR}Early will I seek thee.{HR}For thee thirsteth my soul,{HR}For thee longeth my flesh,{HR}In a land dry and weary without water;
2So as I have beheld thee in the holy place,{HR}To see thy power and thy glory;
3Because thy mercy [is] better than life;{HR}My lips shall praise thee.
4So will I bless thee in my life,{HR}In thy name will I lift up my hands.
5As [with] marrow and fatness thou wilt satisfy my soul;{HR}And [with] lips of rejoicings will my mouth praise thee.
6When I remember thee upon my bed in night-watches,{HR}I will meditate on thee.
7For thou hast been a help to me,{HR}And in the shadow of thy wings I will rejoice.
8My soul cleaveth after thee;{HR}Thy right hand maintaineth me.
9And they to ruin are seeking my soul;{HR}They shall go into the depths of the earth.
10They shall be given up to the power of the sword ;{HR}A portion for foxes they shall be.
11And the king shall rejoice in God:{HR}Every one that sweareth by him shall glory,{HR}For the mouth of those that speak lies shall be stopped.
1To the chief musician; a psalm of David.{HR}Hear, O God, my voice in my meditation;{HR}From fear of the enemy thou wilt preserve my life.
2Thou wilt hide me from the secret of evil-doers,{HR}From the tumult of workers of iniquity,
3Who have sharpened like the sword their tongue,{HR}Have bent their arrow, a bitter word,
4To shoot in the secret places at the perfect;{HR}Suddenly they shoot [at him] and fear not.
5They strengthen to themselves an evil matter;{HR}They concert to hide snares;{HR}They have said, Who will see them?
6They devise iniquities:{HR}We are ready (finished)! a well-devised device!{HR}And each one's inward [thought] and heart [is] deep.
7But God shall shoot at them:{HR}[With] an arrow suddenly the wounds have been theirs.
8And they shall be made to stumble,{HR}Their own tongue against them;{HR}All that see them shall flee away.
9And every man shall fear,{HR}And shall declare God's doing,{HR}And his work they shall understand.
10The righteous one shall be glad in Jehovah,{HR}And trust in him;{HR}And all the upright in heart shall glory.
1To the chief musician; a psalm of David, a song.{HR}To thee waiteth praise, O God, in Zion,{HR}And to thee shall vow be paid.
2Hearer of prayer,{HR}To thee shall all flesh come.
3Iniquities have been far too strong for me:{HR}Our transgressions, thou wilt purge (cover) them.
4Blessed [is he whom] thou wilt choose and bring near:{HR}He shall dwell in thy courts.{HR}We shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house,{HR}The holy [place] of thy temple.
5Terrible things in righteousness thou wilt answer us,{HR}O God of our salvation,{HR}Confidence of all the ends of earth and sea, afar off;
6Establishing mountains by his strength, girded with power;
7Stilling the roar of seas,{HR}The roar of their waves,{HR}And the tumult of Gentiles.
8And those inhabiting the uttermost parts shall fear because of thy signs;{HR}The outgoings of morning and evening thou wilt make to shout for joy.
9Thou hast visited the earth and watered it greatly wilt thou enrich it:{HR}The river of God is full of water;{HR}Thou preparest their corn,{HR}For so thou preparest it (the earth).
10Its furrows thou dost water,{HR}Thou dost break down its ridges;{HR}With showers thou wilt soften it;{HR}Its springing thou wilt bless.
11Thou crownest the year [with] thy goodness,{HR}And thy paths drop fatness.
12They drop [on] the pastures of the wilderness,{HR}And the hills are girded with joy.
13The sheep-walks are clothed with the sheep,{HR}And the valleys are covered with corn;{HR}They shout for joy, yea, they sing.
1To the chief musician; a song, a psalm.{HR}Shout aloud to God, all the earth,
2Sing forth the glory of his name,{HR}Make his praise glorious.
3Say to God, How terrible [are] thy doings;{HR}In the greatness of thy strength thine enemies shall cringe to thee.
4All the earth shall worship thee,{HR}And sing psalms to thee;{HR}They shall sing to thy name. Selah.
5Come and see the works of God,{HR}Terrible in dealing toward the sons of men.
6He turned sea to dry land;{HR}Through the river they passed on foot;{HR}There did we be glad in him.
7He ruleth by his might forever;{HR}His eyes do watch over the nations;{HR}Let not the rebels exalt themselves. Selah.
8Bless, ye peoples, our God,{HR}And make the voice of his praise to be heard,
9Who setteth our soul in the life{HR}And hath not given our foot to be moved.
10For thou hast proved us, O God,{HR}Thou hast assayed us as silver is assayed.
11Thou hast brought us into the net,{HR}Thou hast put pressure upon our loins.
12Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads;{HR}We went into the fire and into the waters,{HR}And thou hast brought us into abundance.
13I will go to thy house with burnt offerings,{HR}I will pay to thee my vows,
14Which my lips uttered and my mouth spoke in my distress.
15Burnt offerings of fatlings will I offer up to thee with incense of rams,{HR}I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.
16Come, hear, all ye that fear God,{HR}And I will tell you what he hath done for my soul.
17I called to him [with] my mouth,{HR}And he was extolled with my tongue.
18If I had regarded iniquity in my heart,{HR}The Lord would not hear.
19Verily God hath heard,{HR}He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
20Blessed [be] God who hath not turned away my prayer,{HR}Nor his mercy from me.
1To the chief musician, on Neginoth ; a psalm, a song.{HR}God be gracious to us and bless us;{HR}Cause his face to shine upon us (Selah),

6The earth hath yielded its increase;
7God, our God, will bless us;{HR}God will bless us,{HR}And all the ends of the earth shall fear him.
1To the chief musician; of David, a psalm, a song.{HR}Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered,{HR}And those that hate him flee from before him.
2As smoke is driven, thou wilt drive away;{HR}As wax melteth before fire,{HR}The wicked shall perish from before God.
3And the righteous shall be glad,{HR}They shall exult before God{HR}And rejoice with gladness.
4Sing to God, sing praises to his name;{HR}Cast up a way for him that rideth in the deserts:{HR}His name [is] Jah, and exult ye before him.
5A father of orphans and a judge of widows{HR}[Is] God in the habitation of his holiness.
6God maketh the solitary to dwell in a house;{HR}Prisoners he bringeth out into prosperity:{HR}But rebels dwell in a parched [land].
7O God, in thy going out before thy people,{HR}In thy marching in the wilderness (Selah)
8The earth trembled, yea the heavens dropped from before God,{HR}This Sinai from before God, the God of Israel.
9A rain of free gifts thou, O God, didst pour;{HR}Thine inheritance, and when weary, thou didst establish.
10Thy flock dwelt in it:{HR}Thou didst provide in thy goodness for the wretched, O God.
11Adonai giveth the word:{HR}A great host [are] the (women) publishing.
12Kings of hosts flee, they flee,{HR}And the housewife divideth the spoil.
13Though ye lie among the cattle-pens ,{HR}[Ye shall be like] wings of a dove covered with silver,{HR}And her feathers with yellow-green gold.
14When the Almighty scattered kings therein,{HR}It snoweth [as] in Zalmon.
15A mount of God [is] mount Bashan;{HR}A mount of peaks [is] mount Bashan.
16Why, mounts of peaks, look ye with envy{HR}On the mount God desired for his dwelling;{HR}Yea, Jehovah will dwell [there] forever.
17God's chariots [are] two myriads, thousands upon thousands:{HR}Adonai is among them, Sinai in holiness .
18Thou hast ascended on high,{HR}Thou hast led captivity captive,{HR}Thou hast received gifts in man,{HR}And rebels also, that Jah Elohim should dwell [there].
19Blessed [be] Adonai day by day loading us,{HR}The God of our salvation. Selah.
20Our God is a God of salvation;{HR}And to Jehovah Adonai [belong] the issues from death.
21Surely God will smite the head of his enemies,{HR}The hairy scalp [of one] going on in his guilt.
22Adonai said, From Bashan, I will bring back,{HR}I will bring back from the depths of the sea;
23That thou mayest dip thy foot in blood:{HR}The tongue of thy dogs hath its portion from enemies.
24They saw thy goings, O God,{HR}The goings of my God, my king, in the sanctuary.
25Before went singers, behind players on stringed instruments,{HR}In the midst of maidens playing on timbrels.
26In assemblies bless ye God Adonai,{HR}From the fountain of Israel.
27There [is] little Benjamin their ruler,{HR}Princes of Judah their council,{HR}Princes of Zebulon, princes of Naphtali.
28Thy God hath commanded thy strength.{HR}Strengthen, O God, what thou hast wrought for us.
29Because of thy temple at Jerusalem{HR}Kings shall bring tribute to thee.
30Rebuke the beasts of the reeds,{HR}The crowd of strong (bulls),{HR}With the calves of the peoples,{HR}[Each] crouching with pieces of silver.{HR}Scatter the peoples delighting in war.
31Princes shall come from Egypt;{HR}Cush shall haste to stretch out her hands to God.
32Kingdoms of the earth,{HR}Sing ye unto God,{HR}Praise Adonai. Selah.
33Him that rideth on the heavens of heavens of old.{HR}Lo, he uttereth his voice, a mighty voice.
34Ascribe ye strength to God:{HR}His excellence [is] over Israel,{HR}And his strength in the clouds.
35Terrible [art thou], O God, out of thy sanctuaries;{HR}The God of Israel!{HR}He giveth strength and might to the people.{HR}Blessed be God.
1To the chief musician, on Shoshannim (lilies) ; of David.{HR}Save me, O God, for the waters have come unto [my] soul.
2I sink in deep mire where [is] no standing.{HR}I am come into depths of waters,{HR}And the flood overfloweth me.
3I am wearied in my crying, parched is my throat,{HR}Mine eyes fail, while waiting for my God (Eloah).
4More than the hairs of my head [are] those hating me without cause,{HR}Strong my destroyers, mine enemies falsely:{HR}What I took not away, then I restored.
5O God, thou knowest, my foolishness,{HR}And my trespasses from thee are not hid.
6Let not those be ashamed in me that wait on thee, Adonai Jehovah of hosts;{HR}Let not those be disgraced in me that seek thee, God of Israel.
7Because on account of thee I have borne reproach;{HR}Disgrace hath covered my face.
8A stranger I am become to my brethren,{HR}And an alien to my mother's sons;
9For the zeal of thy house hath eaten me up,{HR}And the reproaches of those reproaching thee fell on me.
10And I wept [away] my soul in fasting;{HR}And it was for reproaches to me.
11When I made my clothing sackcloth,{HR}I too was to them for a proverb.
12Those that sit at the gate talk of me,{HR}And [I am] songs to drinkers of strong drink.
13But as for me, my prayer [is] to thee,{HR}O Jehovah (in) an acceptable time;{HR}O God, in the abundance of thy mercy answer me,{HR}In the truth of thy salvation.
14Deliver me from the mire, and let me not sink;{HR}Let me be delivered from those hating me,{HR}And from the depths of waters.
15Let not the waterflood overflow me,{HR}And let not the deep swallow me up;{HR}And let not the pit shut its mouth upon me.
16Answer me, O Jehovah, for good [is] thy mercy;{HR}According to the multitude of thy tender mercies turn unto me;
17And hide not thy face from thy servant,{HR}For I am troubled; speedily answer me.
18Draw nigh to my soul, redeem it;{HR}Because of mine enemies ransom me.
19{i}Thou{/i} hast known my reproach,{HR}And my shame, and my disgrace;{HR}Before thee [are] all mine adversaries.
20Reproach hath broken my heart, and I am overwhelmed;{HR}And I looked for mourning, and [there was] none,{HR}And for comforters, and found none.
21They gave me also gall for my food,{HR}And in my thirst they made me drink vinegar.
22Let their table before them become a snare,{HR}And for securities a trap;
23Let their eyes be dark from seeing,{HR}And their loins continually cause to swerve.
24Pour upon them thine indignation,{HR}And let the heat of thine anger overtake them.
25Let their habitation be desolate,{HR}In their tents be no dweller.
26For whom {i}thou{/i} hast smitten they persecute,{HR}And to the grief of thy wounded ones they talk.
27Add iniquity unto their iniquity,{HR}And let them not come into thy righteousness;
28Let them be blotted from the book of life,{HR}And with righteous ones let them not be written.
29But {i}I{/i} [am] poor and sorrowful:{HR}Let thy salvation, O God, set me on, high.
30I will praise the name of God with a song,{HR}And I will magnify him with thanksgiving.
31And it shall please Jehovah more than an ox,{HR}A bullock horned [and] hoofed.
32The meek have seen [and] are glad;{HR}Ye that seek God, your heart shall live.
33For Jehovah heareth the needy,{HR}And despiseth not his prisoners.
34Let heavens and earth praise him,{HR}Seas and everything moving in them.
35For God will save Zion and build cities of Judah;{HR}And they shall dwell there and possess it.
36And the seed of his servants shall inherit it,{HR}And the lovers of his name shall dwell therein. (Psa. 22:1‑69:36)
