| 1 |
Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in Jehovah without wavering. |
| 2 |
Examine me, O Jehovah, and prove me; Try my heart and my mind. |
| 3 |
For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes; And I have walked in thy truth. |
| 4 |
I have not sat with men of falsehood; Neither will I go in with dissemblers. |
| 5 |
I hate the assembly of evil-doers, And will not sit with the wicked. |
| 6 |
I will wash my hands in innocency: So will I compass thine altar, O Jehovah; |
| 7 |
That I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, And tell of all thy wondrous works. |
| 8 |
Jehovah, I love the habitation of thy house, And the place where thy glory dwelleth. |
| 9 |
Gather not my soul with sinners, Nor my life with men of blood; |
| 10 |
In whose hands is wickedness, And their right hand is full of bribes. |
| 11 |
But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: Redeem me, and be merciful unto me. |
| 12 |
My foot standeth in an even place: In the congregations will I bless Jehovah. A Psalm of David. |
| 1 |
I waited patiently for Jehovah; And he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. |
| 2 |
He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay; And he set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. |
| 3 |
And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: Many shall see it, and fear, And shall trust in Jehovah. |
| 4 |
Blessed is the man that maketh Jehovah his trust, And respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. |
| 5 |
Many, O Jehovah my God, are the wonderful works which thou hast done, And thy thoughts which are to us-ward; They cannot be set in order unto thee; If I would declare and speak of them, They are more than can be numbered. |
| 6 |
Sacrifice and offering thou hast no delight in; Mine ears hast thou opened: Burnt-offering and sin-offering hast thou not required. |
| 7 |
Then said I, Lo, I am come; In the roll of the book it is written of me: |
| 8 |
I delight to do thy will, O my God; Yea, thy law is within my heart. |
| 9 |
I have proclaimed glad tidings of righteousness in the great assembly; Lo, I will not refrain my lips, O Jehovah, thou knowest. |
| 10 |
I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation; I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great assembly. |
| 11 |
Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Jehovah; Let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me. |
| 12 |
For innumerable evils have compassed me about; Mine iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up; They are more than the hairs of my head; And my heart hath failed me. |
| 13 |
Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me: Make haste to help me, O Jehovah. |
| 14 |
Let them be put to shame and confounded together That seek after my soul to destroy it: Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor That delight in my hurt. |
| 15 |
Let them be desolate by reason of their shame That say unto me, Aha, aha. |
| 16 |
Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: Let such as love thy salvation say continually, Jehovah be magnified. |
| 17 |
But I am poor and needy; Yet the Lord thinketh upon me: Thou art my help and my deliverer; Make no tarrying, O my God. For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. |
| 1 |
Do ye indeed in silence speak righteousness? Do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men? |
| 2 |
Nay, in heart ye work wickedness; Ye weigh out the violence of your hands in the earth. |
| 3 |
The wicked are estranged from the womb: They go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies. |
| 4 |
Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: They are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear, |
| 5 |
Which hearkeneth not to the voice of charmers, Charming never so wisely. |
| 6 |
Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: Break out the great teeth of the young lions, O Jehovah. |
| 7 |
Let them melt away as water that runneth apace: When he aimeth his arrows, let them be as though they were cut off. |
| 8 |
Let them be as a snail which melteth and passeth away, Like the untimely birth of a woman, that hath not seen the sun. |
| 9 |
Before your pots can feel the thorns, He will take them away with a whirlwind, the green and the burning alike. |
| 10 |
The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked; |
| 11 |
So that men shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: Verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth. For the Chief Musician; set to Al-tashheth. A Psalm of David. Michtam; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. |
| 1 |
Hear my cry, O God; Attend unto my prayer. |
| 2 |
From the end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. |
| 3 |
For thou hast been a refuge for me, A strong tower from the enemy. |
| 4 |
I will dwell in thy tabernacle for ever: I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. Selah |
| 5 |
For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: Thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name. |
| 6 |
Thou wilt prolong the king's life; His years shall be as many generations. |
| 7 |
He shall abide before God for ever: Oh prepare lovingkindness and truth, that they may preserve him. |
| 8 |
So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, That I may daily perform my vows. For the Chief Musician; after the manner of Jeduthan. A Psalm of David. |
| 1 |
My soul waiteth in silence for God only: From him cometh my salvation. |
| 2 |
He only is my rock and my salvation: He is my high tower; I shall not be greatly moved. |
| 3 |
How long will ye set upon a man, That ye may slay him, all of you, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence? |
| 4 |
They only consult to thrust him down from his dignity; They delight in lies; They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah |
| 5 |
My soul, wait thou in silence for God only; For my expectation is from him. |
| 6 |
He only is my rock and my salvation: He is my high tower; I shall not be moved. |
| 7 |
With God is my salvation and my glory: The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. |
| 8 |
Trust in him at all times, ye people; Pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah |
| 9 |
Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: In the balances they will go up; They are together lighter than vanity. |
| 10 |
Trust not in oppression, And become not vain in robbery: If riches increase, set not your heart thereon. |
| 11 |
God hath spoken once, Twice have I heard this, That power belongeth unto God. |
| 12 |
Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth lovingkindness; For thou renderest to every man according to his work. A Psalm of David when he was in the wilderness of Judah. |
| 1 |
Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint: Preserve my life from fear of the enemy. |
| 2 |
Hide me from the secret counsel of evil-doers, From the tumult of the workers of iniquity; |
| 3 |
Who have whet their tongue like a sword, And have aimed their arrows, even bitter words, |
| 4 |
That they may shoot in secret places at the perfect: Suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not. |
| 5 |
They encourage themselves in an evil purpose; They commune of laying snares privily; They say, Who will see them? |
| 6 |
They search out iniquities; We have accomplished, say they, a diligent search: And the inward thought and the heart of every one is deep. |
| 7 |
But God will shoot at them; With an arrow suddenly shall they be wounded. |
| 8 |
So they shall be made to stumble, their own tongue being against them: All that see them shall wag the head. |
| 9 |
And all men shall fear; And they shall declare the work of God, And shall wisely consider of his doing. |
| 10 |
The righteous shall be glad in Jehovah, and shall take refuge in him; And all the upright in heart shall glory. For the Chief Musician. A Psalm. A song of David. |
