| 1 |
O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger, Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. |
| 2 |
Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; for I am withered away: O Jehovah, heal me; for my bones are troubled. |
| 3 |
My soul also is sore troubled: And thou, O Jehovah, how long? |
| 4 |
Return, O Jehovah, deliver my soul: Save me for thy lovingkindness' sake. |
| 5 |
For in death there is no remembrance of thee: In Sheol who shall give thee thanks? |
| 6 |
I am weary with my groaning; Every night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears. |
| 7 |
Mine eye wasteth away because of grief; It waxeth old because of all mine adversaries. |
| 8 |
Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; For Jehovah hath heard the voice of my weeping. |
| 9 |
Jehovah hath heard my supplication; Jehovah will receive my prayer. |
| 10 |
All mine enemies shall be put to shame and sore troubled: They shall turn back, they shall be put to shame suddenly. Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto Jehova, concerning the words of Cush a Benjamite. |
| 1 |
O Jehovah, our Lord, How excellent is thy name in all the earth, Who hast set thy glory upon the heavens! |
| 2 |
Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou established strength, Because of thine adversaries, That thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. |
| 3 |
When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, The moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; |
| 4 |
What is man, that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that thou visitest him? |
| 5 |
For thou hast made him but little lower than God, And crownest him with glory and honor. |
| 6 |
Thou makest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet: |
| 7 |
All sheep and oxen, Yea, and the beasts of the field, |
| 8 |
The birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, Whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas. |
| 9 |
O Jehovah, our Lord, How excellent is thy name in all the earth! For the Chief Musician; set to Muthlabben. A Psalm of David. |
| 1 |
I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy marvellous works. |
| 2 |
I will be glad and exult in thee; I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High. |
| 3 |
When mine enemies turn back, They stumble and perish at thy presence. |
| 4 |
For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; Thou sittest in the throne judging righteously. |
| 5 |
Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked; Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever. |
| 6 |
The enemy are come to an end, they are desolate for ever; And the cities which thou hast overthrown, The very remembrance of them is perished. |
| 7 |
But Jehovah sitteth as king for ever: He hath prepared his throne for judgment; |
| 8 |
And he will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to the peoples in uprightness. |
| 9 |
Jehovah also will be a high tower for the oppressed, A high tower in times of trouble; |
| 10 |
And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; For thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. |
| 11 |
Sing praises to Jehovah, who dwelleth in Zion: Declare among the people his doings. |
| 12 |
For he that maketh inquisition for blood remembereth them; He forgetteth not the cry of the poor. |
| 13 |
Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; Behold my affliction which I suffer of them that hate me, Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death; |
| 14 |
That I may show forth all thy praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in thy salvation. |
| 15 |
The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made: In the net which they hid is their own foot taken. |
| 16 |
Jehovah hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment: The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah |
| 17 |
The wicked shall be turned back unto Sheol, Even all the nations that forget God. |
| 18 |
For the needy shall not alway be forgotten, Nor the expectation of the poor perish for ever. |
| 19 |
Arise, O Jehovah; let not man prevail: Let the nations be judged in thy sight. |
| 20 |
Put them in fear, O Jehovah: Let the nations know themselves to be but men. Selah |
| 1 |
Why standest thou afar off, O Jehovah? Why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble? |
| 2 |
In the pride of the wicked the poor is hotly pursued; Let them be taken in the devices that they have conceived. |
| 3 |
For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, And the covetous renounceth, yea, contemneth Jehovah. |
| 4 |
The wicked, in the pride of his countenance, saith, He will not require it. All his thoughts are, There is no God. |
| 5 |
His ways are firm at all times; Thy judgments are far above out of his sight: As for all his adversaries, he puffeth at them. |
| 6 |
He saith in his heart, I shall not be moved; To all generations I shall not be in adversity. |
| 7 |
His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and oppression: Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity. |
| 8 |
He sitteth in the lurking-places of the villages; In the secret places doth he murder the innocent; His eyes are privily set against the helpless. |
| 9 |
He lurketh in secret as a lion in his covert; He lieth in wait to catch the poor: He doth catch the poor, when he draweth him in his net. |
| 10 |
He croucheth, he boweth down, And the helpless fall by his strong ones. |
| 11 |
He saith in his heart, God hath forgotten; He hideth his face; he will never see it. |
| 12 |
Arise, O Jehovah; O God, lift up thy hand: Forget not the poor. |
| 13 |
Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God, And say in his heart, Thou wilt not require it? |
| 14 |
Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: The helpless committeth himself unto thee; Thou hast been the helper of the fatherless. |
| 15 |
Break thou the arm of the wicked; And as for the evil man, seek out his wickedness till thou find none. |
| 16 |
Jehovah is King for ever and ever: The nations are perished out of his land. |
| 17 |
Jehovah, thou hast heard the desire of the meek: Thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear; |
| 18 |
To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, That man who is of the earth may be terrible no more. For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. |
| 1 |
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works; There is none that doeth good. |
| 2 |
Jehovah looked down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there were any that did understand, That did seek after God. |
| 3 |
They are all gone aside; they are together become filthy; There is none that doeth good, no, not one. |
| 4 |
Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, Who eat up my people as they eat bread, And call not upon Jehovah? |
| 5 |
There were they in great fear; For God is in the generation of the righteous. |
| 6 |
Ye put to shame the counsel of the poor, Because Jehovah is his refuge. |
| 7 |
Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When Jehovah bringeth back the captivity of his people, Then shall Jacob rejoice, and Israel shall be glad. A Psalm of David. |
| 1 |
Preserve me, O God; for in thee do I take refuge. |
| 2 |
O my soul, thou hast said unto Jehovah, Thou art my Lord: I have no good beyond thee. |
| 3 |
As for the saints that are in the earth, They are the excellent in whom is all my delight. |
| 4 |
Their sorrows shall be multiplied that give gifts for another god: Their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, Nor take their names upon my lips. |
| 5 |
Jehovah is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: Thou maintainest my lot. |
| 6 |
The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; Yea, I have a goodly heritage. |
| 7 |
I will bless Jehovah, who hath given me counsel; Yea, my heart instructeth me in the night seasons. |
| 8 |
I have set Jehovah always before me: Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. |
| 9 |
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth; My flesh also shall dwell in safety. |
| 10 |
For thou wilt not leave my soul to Sheol; Neither wilt thou suffer thy holy one to see corruption. |
| 11 |
Thou wilt show me the path of life: In thy presence is fulness of joy; In thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. A Prayer of David. |
| 1 |
The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament showeth his handiwork. |
| 2 |
Day unto day uttereth speech, And night unto night showeth knowledge. |
| 3 |
There is no speech nor language; Their voice is not heard. |
| 4 |
Their line is gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, |
| 5 |
Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, And rejoiceth as a strong man to run his course. |
| 6 |
His going forth is from the end of the heavens, And his circuit unto the ends of it; And there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. |
| 7 |
The law of Jehovah is perfect, restoring the soul: The testimony of Jehovah is sure, making wise the simple. |
| 8 |
The precepts of Jehovah are right, rejoicing the heart: The commandment of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes. |
| 9 |
The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring for ever: The ordinances of Jehovah are true, and righteous altogether. |
| 10 |
More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the droppings of the honeycomb. |
| 11 |
Moreover by them is thy servant warned: In keeping them there is great reward. |
| 12 |
Who can discern his errors? Clear thou me from hidden faults. |
| 13 |
Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; Let them not have dominion over me: Then shall I be upright, And I shall be clear from great transgression. |
| 14 |
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in thy sight, O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer. For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. |
| 1 |
The king shall joy in thy strength, O Jehovah; And in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice! |
| 2 |
Thou hast given him his heart's desire, And hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah |
| 3 |
For thou meetest him with the blessings of goodness: Thou settest a crown of fine gold on his head. |
| 4 |
He asked life of thee, thou gavest it him, Even length of days for ever and ever. |
| 5 |
His glory is great in thy salvation: Honor and majesty dost thou lay upon him. |
| 6 |
For thou makest him most blessed for ever: Thou makest him glad with joy in thy presence. |
| 7 |
For the king trusteth in Jehovah; And through the lovingkindness of the Most High he shall not be moved. |
| 8 |
Thy hand will find out all thine enemies; Thy right hand will find out those that hate thee. |
| 9 |
Thou wilt make them as a fiery furnace in the time of thine anger: Jehovah will swallow them up in his wrath, And the fire shall devour them. |
| 10 |
Their fruit wilt thou destroy from the earth, And their seed from among the children of men. |
| 11 |
For they intended evil against thee; They conceived a device which they are not able to perform. |
| 12 |
For thou wilt make them turn their back; Thou wilt make ready with thy bowstrings against their face. |
| 13 |
Be thou exalted, O Jehovah, in thy strength: So will we sing and praise thy power. For the Chief Musician; set to Aijaleth hash-Shahar. A Psalm of David. |
