| 1 |
Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered. |
| 2 |
Blessed is the man unto whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no guile. |
| 3 |
When I kept silence, my bones wasted away Through my groaning all the day long. |
| 4 |
For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: My moisture was changed as with the drought of summer. Selah |
| 5 |
I acknowledged my sin unto thee, And mine iniquity did I not hide: I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah; And thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah |
| 6 |
For this let every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: Surely when the great waters overflow they shall not reach unto him. |
| 7 |
Thou art my hiding-place; thou wilt preserve me from trouble; Thou wilt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah |
| 8 |
I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will counsel thee with mine eye upon thee. |
| 9 |
Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding; Whose trappings must be bit and bridle to hold them in, Else they will not come near unto thee. |
| 10 |
Many sorrows shall be to the wicked; But he that trusteth in Jehovah, lovingkindness shall compass him about. |
| 11 |
Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, ye righteous; And shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart. |
| 1 |
Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: According to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. |
| 2 |
Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin. |
| 3 |
For I know my transgressions; And my sin is ever before me. |
| 4 |
Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, And done that which is evil in thy sight; That thou mayest be justified when thou speakest, And be clear when thou judgest. |
| 5 |
Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity; And in sin did my mother conceive me. |
| 6 |
Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts; And in the hidden part thou wilt make me to know wisdom. |
| 7 |
Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. |
| 8 |
Make me to hear joy and gladness, That the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. |
| 9 |
Hide thy face from my sins, And blot out all mine iniquities. |
| 10 |
Create in me a clean heart, O God; And renew a right spirit within me. |
| 11 |
Cast me not away from thy presence; And take not thy holy Spirit from me. |
| 12 |
Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; And uphold me with a willing spirit. |
| 13 |
Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; And sinners shall be converted unto thee. |
| 14 |
Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation; And my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. |
| 15 |
O Lord, open thou my lips; And my mouth shall show forth thy praise. |
| 16 |
For thou delightest not in sacrifice; else would I give it: Thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering. |
| 17 |
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: A broken and contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. |
| 18 |
Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: Build thou the walls of Jerusalem. |
| 19 |
Then will thou delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, In burnt-offering and in whole burnt-offering: Then will they offer bullocks upon thine altar. For the Chief Musician. Maschil of David; when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David is come to the house of Abimelech. |
| 1 |
Bow down thine ear, O Jehovah, and answer me; For I am poor and needy. |
| 2 |
Preserve my soul; for I am godly: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee. |
| 3 |
Be merciful unto me, O Lord; For unto thee do I cry all the day long. |
| 4 |
Rejoice the soul of thy servant; For unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. |
| 5 |
For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive, And abundant in lovingkindness unto all them that call upon thee. |
| 6 |
Give ear, O Jehovah, unto my prayer; And hearken unto the voice of my supplications. |
| 7 |
In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee; For thou wilt answer me. |
| 8 |
There is none like unto thee among the gods, O Lord; Neither are there any works like unto thy works. |
| 9 |
All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; And they shall glorify thy name. |
| 10 |
For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: Thou art God alone. |
| 11 |
Teach me thy way, O Jehovah; I will walk in thy truth: Unite my heart to fear thy name. |
| 12 |
I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart; And I will glorify thy name for evermore. |
| 13 |
For great is thy lovingkindness toward me; And thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol. |
| 14 |
O God, the proud are risen up against me, And a company of violent men have sought after my soul, And have not set thee before them. |
| 15 |
But thou, O Lord, art a God merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness and truth. |
| 16 |
Oh turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; Give thy strength unto thy servant, And save the son of thy handmaid. |
| 17 |
Show me a token for good, That they who hate me may see it, and be put to shame, Because thou, Jehovah, hast helped me, and comforted me. A Psalm of the sons of Korah; a Song. |
| 1 |
I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go unto the house of Jehovah. |
| 2 |
Our feet are standing Within thy gates, O Jerusalem, |
| 3 |
Jerusalem, that art builded As a city that is compact together; |
| 4 |
Whither the tribes go up, even the tribes of Jehovah, For an ordinance for Israel, To give thanks unto the name of Jehovah. |
| 5 |
For there are set thrones for judgment, The thrones of the house of David. |
| 6 |
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: They shall prosper that love thee. |
| 7 |
Peace be within thy walls, And prosperity within thy palaces. |
| 8 |
For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee. |
| 9 |
For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God I will seek thy good. A Song of Ascents. |
