Psalms 1



1. Blessed <0835> [is] the man <0376> that walketh <01980> not in the counsel <06098> of the ungodly <07563> , nor <03808> standeth <05975> in the way <01870> of sinners <02400>, nor <03808> sitteth <03427> in the seat <04186> of the scornful <03887>.

2 But his delight <02656> [is] in the law <08451> of the LORD <03068>; and in his law <08451> doth he meditate <01897> day <03119> and night <03915>.

3 And he shall be like a tree <06086> planted < 08362> by the rivers <06388> of water <04325>, that bringeth <05414> forth <05414> his fruit <06529> in his season <06256>; his leaf <05929> also shall not wither < 05034>; and whatsoever he doeth <06213> shall prosper < 06743>.

4. The ungodly <07563> [are] not so <03651>: but [are] like the chaff <04671> which <0834> the wind < 07307> driveth <05086> away.

5 Therefore the ungodly <07563> shall not stand < 06965> in the judgment <04941>, nor sinners <02400> in the congregation <05712> of the righteous <06662>.

6 For the LORD <03068> knoweth <03045> the way < 01870> of the righteous <06662>: but the way <01870> of the ungodly <07563> shall perish <06>.

Psalms 2

1. Why <04100> do the heathen <01471> rage < 07283>, and the people <03816> imagine <01897> a vain < 07385> thing?

2 The kings <04428> of the earth <0776> set < 03320> themselves, and the rulers <07336> take counsel < 03245> together <03162>, against <05921> the LORD < 03068>, and against <05921> his anointed <04899>, [saying],

3 Let us break <05423> their bands <04147> asunder, and cast <07993> away their cords <05688> from us.

4 He that sitteth <03427> in the heavens <08064> shall laugh <07832>: the Lord <0136> shall have them in derision <03932>.

5 Then <0227> shall he speak <01696> unto them in his wrath <0639>, and vex <0926> them in his sore displeasure <02740>.

6 Yet have I set <05258> my king <04428> upon my holy <06944> hill <02022> of Zion <06726>.

7. I will declare <05608> the decree <02706>: the LORD <03068> hath said <0559> unto me, Thou [art] my Son < 01121>; this day <03117> have I begotten <03205> thee.

8 Ask <07592> of me, and I shall give <05415> [thee] the heathen <01471> [for] thine inheritance <05159>, and the uttermost <0657> parts of the earth <0776> [for] thy possession <0272>.

9 Thou shalt break <07489> them with a rod <07626> of iron <01270>; thou shalt dash <05310> them in pieces like a potter's <03335> vessel <03627>.

10. Be wise <07919> now <06258> therefore, O ye kings <04428>: be instructed <03256>, ye judges <08199> of the earth <0776>.

11 Serve <05647> the LORD <03068> with fear < 03374>, and rejoice <01523> with trembling <07460>.

12 Kiss <05401> the Son <01248>, lest <06435> he be angry <0599>, and ye perish <06> [from] the way < 01870>, when <03588> his wrath <0639> is kindled < 01197> but a little <04592>. Blessed <0835> [are] all < 03605> they that put their trust <02620> in him.

Psalms 3

1. A Psalm <04210> of David <01732>, when he fled <01272> from <06440> Absalom <053> his son <01121>. LORD <03068>, how <04100> are they increased <07231> that trouble <06862> me! many <07227> [are] they that rise < 06965> up against <05921> me.

2 Many <07227> [there be] which say <0559> of my soul <05315>, [There is] no <0369> help <03444> for him in God <0430>. Selah <05542>.

3 But thou, O LORD <03068>, [art] a shield <04043> for me; my glory <03519>, and the lifter <07311> up of mine head <07218>.

4. I cried <07121> unto the LORD <03068> with my voice <06963>, and he heard <06030> me out of his holy < 06944> hill <02022>. Selah <05542>.

5 I laid <07901> me down <07901> and slept < 03462>; I awaked <06974>; for the LORD <03068> sustained <05564> me.

6 I will not be afraid <03372> of ten <07233> thousands <07233> of people <05971>, that have set < 07896> [themselves] against <05921> me round <05439> about.

7 Arise <06965>, O LORD <03068>; save <03467> me, O my God <0430>: for thou hast smitten <05221> all < 03605> mine enemies <0341> [upon] the cheek <03895> bone; thou hast broken <07665> the teeth <08127> of the ungodly < 07563>.

8 Salvation <03444> [belongeth] unto the LORD < 03068>: thy blessing <01293> [is] upon thy people <05971>. Selah <05542>.

Psalms 4

1. To the chief Musician <05329> on Neginoth <05058>, A Psalm <04210> of David <01732>. Hear <06030> me when I call <07121>, O God <0430> of my righteousness <06664>: thou hast enlarged <07337> me [when I was] in distress <06862> ; have mercy <02603> upon me, and hear <08085> my prayer < 08605>.

2 O ye sons <01121> of men <0376>, how <05704> long <05704> [will ye turn] my glory <03519> into shame < 03639>? [how long] will ye love <0157> vanity <07385>, [and] seek <01245> after leasing <03577>? Selah <05542>.

3 But know <03045> that the LORD <03068> hath set <06395> apart <06395> him that is godly <02623> for himself: the LORD <03068> will hear <08085> when I call < 07121> unto him.

4 Stand in awe <07264>, and sin <02398> not: commune <0559> with your own heart <03824> upon your bed < 04904>, and be still <01826>. Selah <05542>.

5 Offer <02076> the sacrifices <02077> of righteousness <06664>, and put your trust <0982> in the LORD <03068>.

6. [There be] many <07227> that say <0559>, Who < 04310> will shew <07200> us [any] good <02896>? LORD < 03068>, lift <05375> thou up the light <0216> of thy countenance <06440> upon us.

7 Thou hast put <05414> gladness <08057> in my heart <03820>, more than in the time <06256> [that] their corn <01715> and their wine <08492> increased <07231>.

8 I will both <03162> lay <07901> me down < 07901> in peace <07965>, and sleep <03462>: for thou, LORD <03068>, only <0910> makest me dwell <03427> in safety <0983>.

Psalms 5

1. To the chief Musician <05329> upon Nehiloth < 05155>, A Psalm <04210> of David <01732>. Give ear < 0238> to my words <0561>, O LORD <03068>, consider < 0995> my meditation <01901>.

2 Hearken <07181> unto the voice <06963> of my cry <07773>, my King <04428>, and my God <0430>: for unto thee will I pray <06419>.

3 My voice <06963> shalt thou hear <08085> in the morning <01242>, O LORD <03068>; in the morning <01242> will I direct <06186> [my prayer] unto thee, and will look < 06822> up.

4 For thou [art] not a God <0410> that hath pleasure < 02655> in wickedness <07562>: neither <03808> shall evil <07451> dwell <01481> with thee.

5 The foolish <01984> shall not stand <03320> in thy sight <05869>: thou hatest <08130> all <03605> workers <06466> of iniquity <0205>.

6 Thou shalt destroy <06> them that speak <01696> leasing <03577>: the LORD <03068> will abhor <08581> the bloody <01818> and deceitful <04820> man <0376>.

7. But as for me, I will come <0935> [into] thy house < 01004> in the multitude <07230> of thy mercy <02617>: [and] in thy fear <03374> will I worship <07812> toward <0413> thy holy <06944> temple <01964>.

8 Lead <05148> me, O LORD <03068>, in thy righteousness <06666> because <04616> of mine enemies < 08324>; make thy way <01870> straight <03474> before my face <06440>.

9 For [there is] no <0369> faithfulness <03559> in their mouth <06310>; their inward <07130> part [is] very < 01942> wickedness <01942>; their throat <01627> [is] an open <06605> sepulchre <06913>; they flatter <02505> with their tongue <03956>.

10 Destroy <0816> thou them, O God <0430>; let them fall <05307> by their own counsels <04156>; cast <05080> them out in the multitude <07230> of their transgressions < 06588>; for they have rebelled <04784> against thee.

11 But let all <03605> those that put their trust < 02620> in thee rejoice <08055>: let them ever <05769> shout <07442> for joy, because thou defendest <05526> them: let them also that love <0157> thy name <08034> be joyful <05970> in thee.

12 For thou, LORD <03068>, wilt bless <01288> the righteous <06662>; with favour <07522> wilt thou compass < 05849> him as [with] a shield <06793>.

Psalms 6

1. To the chief Musician <05329> on Neginoth <05058> upon Sheminith <08066>, A Psalm <04210> of David <01732>. O LORD <03068>, rebuke <03198> me not in thine anger < 0639>, neither chasten <03256> me in thy hot <02534> displeasure <02534>.

2 Have mercy <02603> upon me, O LORD <03068>; for I [am] weak <0536>: O LORD <03068>, heal <07495> me; for my bones <06106> are vexed <0926>.

3 My soul <05315> is also sore <03966> vexed < 0926>: but thou, O LORD <03068>, how <05704> long < 05704>?

4 Return <07725>, O LORD <03068>, deliver < 02502> my soul <05315>: oh save <03467> me for thy mercies <02617>' sake <04616>.

5 For in death <04194> [there is] no <0369> remembrance <02143> of thee: in the grave <07585> who < 04310> shall give thee thanks <03034>?

6 I am weary <03021> with my groaning <0585>; all <03605> the night <03915> make I my bed <04296> to swim <07811>; I water <04529> my couch <06210> with my tears <01832>.

7 Mine eye <05869> is consumed <06244> because of grief <03708>; it waxeth old <06275> because of all < 03605> mine enemies <06887>.

8. Depart <05493> from me, all <03605> ye workers <06466> of iniquity <0205>; for the LORD <03068> hath heard <08085> the voice <06963> of my weeping <01065>.

9 The LORD <03068> hath heard <08085> my supplication <08467>; the LORD <03068> will receive < 03947> my prayer <08605>.

10 Let all <03605> mine enemies <0341> be ashamed <0954> and sore <03966> vexed <0926>: let them return <07725> [and] be ashamed <0954> suddenly <07281>.

Psalms 7

1. Shiggaion <07691> of David <01732>, which < 0834> he sang <07891> unto the LORD <03068>, concerning the words <01697> of Cush <03568> the Benjamite <01121> < 01145>. O LORD <03068> my God <0430>, in thee do I put my trust <02620>: save <03467> me from all <03605> them that persecute <07291> me, and deliver <05337> me:

2 Lest <06435> he tear <02963> my soul <05315> like a lion <0738>, rending <06561> [it] in pieces, while [there is] none <0369> to deliver <05337>.

3 O LORD <03068> my God <0430>, if <0518> I have done <06213> this <02063>; if <0518> there be iniquity <05766> in my hands <03709>;

4 If <0518> I have rewarded <01580> evil < 07451> unto him that was at peace <07999> with me; (yea, I have delivered <02502> him that without <07387> cause <07387> is mine enemy <06887>:)

5 Let the enemy <0341> persecute <07291> my soul <05315>, and take <05381> [it]; yea, let him tread < 07429> down my life <02416> upon the earth <0776>, and lay <07931> mine honour <03519> in the dust <06083>. Selah <05542>.

6 Arise <06965>, O LORD <03068>, in thine anger < 0639>, lift <05375> up thyself because of the rage <05678> of mine enemies <06887>: and awake <05782> for me [to] the judgment <04941> [that] thou hast commanded <06680>.

7 So shall the congregation <05712> of the people < 03816> compass <05437> thee about: for their sakes <05921> therefore return <07725> thou on high <04791>.

8 The LORD <03068> shall judge <01777> the people <05971>: judge <08199> me, O LORD <03068>, according to my righteousness <06664>, and according to mine integrity < 08537> [that is] in me.

9 Oh <04994> let the wickedness <07451> of the wicked <07563> come to an end <01584>; but establish < 03559> the just <06662>: for the righteous <06662> God < 0430> trieth <0974> the hearts <03826> and reins < 03629>.

10. My defence <04043> [is] of God <0430>, which saveth <03467> the upright <03477> in heart <03820>.

11 God <0430> judgeth <08199> the righteous < 06662>, and God <0410> is angry <02194> [with the wicked] every <03605> day <03117>.

12 If <0518> he turn <07725> not, he will whet < 03913> his sword <02719>; he hath bent <01869> his bow < 07198>, and made it ready <03559>.

13 He hath also prepared <03559> for him the instruments <03627> of death <04194>; he ordaineth <06466> his arrows <02671> against the persecutors <01814>.

14 Behold <02009>, he travaileth <02254> with iniquity <0205>, and hath conceived <02030> mischief < 05999>, and brought <03205> forth <03205> falsehood < 08267>.

15 He made <03738> a pit <0953>, and digged < 02658> it, and is fallen <05307> into the ditch <07845> [which] he made <06466>.

16 His mischief <05999> shall return <07725> upon his own head <07218>, and his violent <02555> dealing shall come <03381> down <03381> upon his own pate <06936>.

17 I will praise <03034> the LORD <03068> according to his righteousness <06664>: and will sing praise to the name < 08034> of the LORD <03068> most <05945> high <05945>.

Psalms 8

1. To the chief Musician <05329> upon Gittith <01665> , A Psalm <04210> of David <01732>. O LORD <03068> our Lord <0113>, how <04100> excellent <0117> [is] thy name <08034> in all <03605> the earth <0776>! who <0834> hast set <05414> thy glory <01935> above <05921> the heavens <08064>.

2 Out of the mouth <06310> of babes <05768> and sucklings <03243> hast thou ordained <03245> strength < 05797> because <04616> of thine enemies <06887>, that thou mightest still <07673> the enemy <0341> and the avenger < 05358>.

3. When <03588> I consider <07200> thy heavens < 08064>, the work <04639> of thy fingers <0676>, the moon <03394> and the stars <03556>, which <0834> thou hast ordained <03559>;

4 What <04100> is man <0582>, that thou art mindful <02142> of him? and the son <01121> of man <0120>, that thou visitest <06485> him?

5 For thou hast made him a little <04592> lower < 02637> than the angels <0430>, and hast crowned <05849> him with glory <03519> and honour <01926>.

6 Thou madest him to have dominion <04910> over the works <04639> of thy hands <03027>; thou hast put <07896> all <03605> [things] under <08478> his feet <07272>:

7 All <03605> sheep <06792> and oxen <0504>, yea <01571>, and the beasts <0929> of the field <07704>;

8 The fowl <06833> of the air <08064>, and the fish <01709> of the sea <03220>, [and whatsoever] passeth < 05674> through the paths <0734> of the seas <03220>.

9 O LORD <03068> our Lord <0113>, how <04100> excellent <0117> [is] thy name <08034> in all <03605> the earth <0776>!

Psalms 9

1. To the chief Musician <05329> upon Muthlabben < 04192> <01121>, A Psalm <04210> of David <01732>. I will praise <03034> [thee], O LORD <03068>, with my whole < 03605> heart <03820>; I will shew <05608> forth all < 03605> thy marvellous <06381> works.

2 I will be glad <08056> and rejoice <05970> in thee: I will sing praise to thy name <08034>, O thou most < 05945> High <05945>.

3 When mine enemies <0341> are turned <07725> back <0268>, they shall fall <03782> and perish <06> at thy presence <06440>.

4 For thou hast maintained <06213> my right <04941> and my cause <01779>; thou satest <03427> in the throne < 03678> judging <08199> right <06664>.

5 Thou hast rebuked <01605> the heathen <01471>, thou hast destroyed <06> the wicked <07563>, thou hast put < 04229> out their name <08034> for ever <05769> and ever < 05703>.

6 O thou enemy <0341>, destructions <02723> are come to a perpetual <05331> end <08552>: and thou hast destroyed <05428> cities <05892>; their memorial <02143> is perished <06> with them.

7 But the LORD <03068> shall endure <03427> for ever <05769>: he hath prepared <03559> his throne <03678> for judgment <04941>.

8 And he shall judge <08199> the world <08398> in righteousness <06664>, he shall minister <01777> judgment < 01777> to the people <03816> in uprightness <04339>.

9 The LORD <03068> also will be a refuge <04869> for the oppressed <01790>, a refuge <04869> in times < 06256> of trouble <06869>.

10 And they that know <03045> thy name <08034> will put their trust <0982> in thee: for thou, LORD <03068>, hast not forsaken <05800> them that seek <01875> thee.

11. Sing praises to the LORD <03068>, which dwelleth < 03427> in Zion <06726>: declare <05046> among the people <05971> his doings <05949>.

12 When <03588> he maketh inquisition <01875> for blood <01818>, he remembereth <02142> them: he forgetteth < 07911> not the cry <06818> of the humble <06041>.

13 Have mercy <02603> upon me, O LORD <03068>; consider <07200> my trouble <06040> [which I suffer] of them that hate <08130> me, thou that liftest <07311> me up from the gates <08179> of death <04194>:

14 That I may shew <05608> forth all <03605> thy praise <08416> in the gates <08179> of the daughter < 01323> of Zion <06726>: I will rejoice <01523> in thy salvation <03444>.

15 The heathen <01471> are sunk <02883> down in the pit <07845> [that] they made <06213>: in the net <07568> which <02098> they hid <02934> is their own foot <07272> taken <03920>.

16 The LORD <03068> is known <03045> [by] the judgment <04941> [which] he executeth <06213>: the wicked < 07563> is snared <05367> in the work <06467> of his own hands <03709>. Higgaion <01902>. Selah <05542>.

17 The wicked <07563> shall be turned <07725> into hell <07585>, [and] all <03605> the nations <01471> that forget <07913> God <0430>.

18 For the needy <034> shall not alway <05331> be forgotten <07911>: the expectation <08615> of the poor < 06041> shall [not] perish <06> for ever <05703>.

19 Arise <06965>, O LORD <03068>; let not man < 0582> prevail <05810>: let the heathen <01471> be judged <08199> in thy sight <06440>.

20 Put <07896> them in fear <04172>, O LORD < 03068>: [that] the nations <01471> may know <03045> themselves [to be but] men <0582>. Selah <05542>.

Psalms 10

1. Why <04100> standest <05975> thou afar < 07350> off, O LORD <03068>? [why] hidest <05956> thou [thyself] in times <06256> of trouble <06869>?

2 The wicked <07563> in [his] pride <01346> doth persecute <01814> the poor <06041>: let them be taken < 08610> in the devices <04209> that they have imagined < 02803>.

3 For the wicked <07563> boasteth <01984> of his heart's <05315> desire <08378>, and blesseth <01288> the covetous <01214>, [whom] the LORD <03068> abhorreth < 05006>.

4 The wicked <07563>, through the pride <01363> of his countenance <0639>, will not seek <01875> [after God]: God <0430> [is] not in all <03605> his thoughts <04209>.

5 His ways <01870> are always grievous <02342>; thy judgments <04941> [are] far <05048> above <04791> out of his sight <05048>: [as for] all <03605> his enemies < 06887>, he puffeth <06315> at them.

6 He hath said <0559> in his heart <03820>, I shall not be moved <04131>: for [I shall] never <01755> [be] in adversity <07451>.

7 His mouth <06310> is full <04390> of cursing < 0423> and deceit <04820> and fraud <08496>: under < 08478> his tongue <03956> [is] mischief <05999> and vanity <0205>.

8 He sitteth <03427> in the lurking <03993> places of the villages <02691>: in the secret <04565> places doth he murder <02026> the innocent <05355>: his eyes <05869> are privily <06845> set <06845> against the poor <02489>.

9 He lieth in wait <0693> secretly <04565> as a lion <0738> in his den <05520>: he lieth in wait <0693> to catch <02414> the poor <06041>: he doth catch <02414> the poor <06041>, when he draweth <04900> him into his net < 07568>.

10 He croucheth <01794>, [and] humbleth <07817> himself, that the poor <02489> may fall <05307> by his strong <06099> ones.

11 He hath said <0559> in his heart <03820>, God <0410> hath forgotten <07911>: he hideth <05641> his face <06440>; he will never see <07200> [it].

12. Arise <06965>, O LORD <03068>; O God <0410> , lift <05375> up thine hand <03027>: forget <07911> not the humble <06041>.

13 Wherefore doth the wicked <07563> contemn <05006> God <0430>? he hath said <0559> in his heart <03820>, Thou wilt not require <01875> [it].

14 Thou hast seen <07200> [it]; for thou beholdest < 05027> mischief <05999> and spite <03708>, to requite < 05414> [it] with thy hand <03027>: the poor <02489> committeth <05800> himself unto thee; thou art the helper < 05826> of the fatherless <03490>.

15 Break <07665> thou the arm <02220> of the wicked <07563> and the evil <07451> [man]: seek <01875> out his wickedness <07562> [till] thou find <04672> none <01077>.

16 The LORD <03068> [is] King <04428> for ever < 05769> and ever <05703>: the heathen <01471> are perished <06> out of his land <0776>.

17 LORD <03068>, thou hast heard <08085> the desire <08378> of the humble <06041>: thou wilt prepare <03559> their heart <03820>, thou wilt cause thine ear <0241> to hear <07181>:

18 To judge <08199> the fatherless <03490> and the oppressed <01790>, that the man <0582> of the earth < 0776> may no <01077> more oppress <06206>.

Psalms 11

1. To the chief Musician <05329>, [A Psalm] of David < 01732>. In the LORD <03068> put I my trust <02620>: how < 0349> say <0559> ye to my soul <05315>, Flee <05110> [as] a bird <06833> to your mountain <02022>?

2 For, lo <02009>, the wicked <07563> bend < 01869> [their] bow <07198>, they make ready <03559> their arrow <02671> upon the string <03499>, that they may privily <0652> shoot <03384> at the upright <03477> in heart < 03820>.

3 If <03588> the foundations <08356> be destroyed <02040>, what <04100> can the righteous <06662> do < 06466>?

4. The LORD <03068> [is] in his holy <06944> temple <01964>, the LORD'S <03068> throne <03678> [is] in heaven <08064>: his eyes <05869> behold <02372>, his eyelids <06079> try <0974>, the children <01121> of men <0120>.

5 The LORD <03068> trieth <0974> the righteous < 06662>: but the wicked <07563> and him that loveth <0157> violence <02555> his soul <05315> hateth <08130>.

6 Upon the wicked <07563> he shall rain <04305> snares <06341>, fire <0784> and brimstone <01614>, and an horrible <02152> tempest <07307>: [this shall be] the portion <04521> of their cup <03563>.

7 For the righteous <06662> LORD <03068> loveth < 0157> righteousness <06666>; his countenance <06440> doth behold <02372> the upright <03477>.

Psalms 12

1. To the chief Musician <05329> upon <05921> Sheminith <08067>, A Psalm <04210> of David <01732>. Help <03467>, LORD <03068>; for the godly <02623> man <0376> ceaseth <01584>; for the faithful <0539> fail < 06461> from among the children <01121> of men <0120>.

2 They speak <01696> vanity <07723> every < 0376> one <0376> with his neighbour <07453>: [with] flattering <02513> lips <08193> [and] with a double heart < 03820> do they speak <01696>.

3 The LORD <03068> shall cut <03772> off all < 03605> flattering <02513> lips <08193>, [and] the tongue <03956> that speaketh <01696> proud <01419> things:

4 Who <0834> have said <0559>, With our tongue < 03956> will we prevail <01396>; our lips <08193> [are] our own: who <04310> [is] lord <0113> over us?

5 For the oppression <07701> of the poor <06041>, for the sighing <0603> of the needy <034>, now <06258> will I arise <06965>, saith <0559> the LORD <03068>; I will set <07896> [him] in safety <03468> [from him that] puffeth <06315> at him.

6 The words <0565> of the LORD <03068> [are] pure <02889> words <0565>: [as] silver <03701> tried < 06884> in a furnace <05948> of earth <0776>, purified < 02212> seven <07659> times.

7 Thou shalt keep <08104> them, O LORD <03068>, thou shalt preserve <05341> them from this <02098> generation <01755> for ever <05769>.

8 The wicked <07563> walk <01980> on every < 05437> side <05439>, when the vilest <02149> men are exalted <07311>.

Psalms 13

1. To the chief Musician <05329>, A Psalm <04210> of David <01732>. How <05704> long <05704> wilt thou forget <07911> me, O LORD <03068>? for ever <05331>? how < 05704> long <05704> wilt thou hide <05641> thy face < 06440> from me?

2 How <05704> long <05704> shall I take < 07896> counsel <06098> in my soul <05315>, [having] sorrow <03015> in my heart <03824> daily <03119>? how < 05704> long <05704> shall mine enemy <0341> be exalted < 07311> over <05921> me?

3 Consider <05027> [and] hear <06030> me, O LORD <03068> my God <0430>: lighten <0215> mine eyes < 05869>, lest <06435> I sleep <03462> the [sleep < 03462> of] death <04194>;

4 Lest <06435> mine enemy <0341> say <0559>, I have prevailed <03201> against him; [and] those that trouble < 06862> me rejoice <01523> when <03588> I am moved < 04131>.

5 But I have trusted <0982> in thy mercy <02617>; my heart <03820> shall rejoice <01523> in thy salvation < 03444>.

6 I will sing <07891> unto the LORD <03068>, because <03588> he hath dealt <01580> bountifully <01580> with me.

Psalms 14

1. To the chief Musician <05329>, [A Psalm] of David < 01732>. The fool <05036> hath said <0559> in his heart < 03820>, [There is] no <0369> God <0430>. They are corrupt <07843>, they have done abominable <08581> works <05949>, [there is] none <0369> that doeth <06213> good <02896>.

2 The LORD <03068> looked <08559> down <03381> from heaven <08064> upon the children <01121> of men < 0120>, to see <07200> if there were any that did understand < 07919>, [and] seek <01875> God <0430>.

3 They are all <03605> gone <05493> aside < 05493>, they are [all] together <03162> become <0444> filthy <0444>: [there is] none <0369> that doeth <06213> good <02896>, no, not one <0259>.

4. Have all <03605> the workers <06466> of iniquity <0205> no <03808> knowledge <03045>? who eat <0398> up my people <05971> [as] they eat <0398> bread <03899>, and call <07121> not upon the LORD <03068>.

5 There <08033> were they in great <06343> fear < 06342>: for God <0430> [is] in the generation <01755> of the righteous <06662>.

6 Ye have shamed <0954> the counsel <06098> of the poor <06041>, because <03588> the LORD <03068> [is] his refuge <04268>.

7 Oh that the salvation <03444> of Israel <03478> [were come] out of Zion <06726>! when the LORD <03068> bringeth <07725> back <07725> the captivity <07622> of his people <05971>, Jacob <03290> shall rejoice <01523>, [and] Israel <03478> shall be glad <08056>.

Psalms 15

1. A Psalm <04210> of David <01732>. LORD < 03068>, who <04310> shall abide <01481> in thy tabernacle <0168>? who <04310> shall dwell <07931> in thy holy < 06944> hill <02022>?

2 He that walketh <01980> uprightly <08549>, and worketh <06466> righteousness <06664>, and speaketh < 01696> the truth <0571> in his heart <03824>.

3 [He that] backbiteth <07270> not with his tongue < 03956>, nor <03808> doeth <06213> evil <07451> to his neighbour <07453>, nor <03808> taketh <05375> up a reproach <02781> against <05921> his neighbour <07138>.

4 In whose eyes <05869> a vile <0959> person is contemned <0959>; but he honoureth <03513> them that fear < 03373> the LORD <03068>. [He that] sweareth <07650> to [his own] hurt <07489>, and changeth <04171> not.

5 [He that] putteth <05414> not out his money < 03701> to usury <05392>, nor <03808> taketh <03947> reward <07810> against <05921> the innocent <05355>. He that doeth <06213> these <0428> [things] shall never be moved <04131>.

Psalms 16

1. Michtam <04387> of David <01732>. Preserve < 08104> me, O God <0410>: for in thee do I put my trust < 02620>.

2 [O my soul], thou hast said <0559> unto the LORD < 03068>, Thou [art] my Lord <0136>: my goodness <02896> [extendeth] not to thee;

3 [But] to the saints <06918> that [are] in the earth < 0776>, and [to] the excellent <0117>, in whom [is] all < 03605> my delight <02656>.

4 Their sorrows <06094> shall be multiplied <07235> [that] hasten <04116> [after] another <0312> [god]: their drink <05262> offerings of blood <01818> will I not offer < 05258>, nor <01077> take <05375> up their names < 08034> into <05921> my lips <08193>.

5 The LORD <03068> [is] the portion <04490> of mine inheritance <02506> and of my cup <03563>: thou maintainest <08551> my lot <01486>.

6 The lines <02256> are fallen <05307> unto me in pleasant <05273> [places]; yea <0637>, I have <05921> a goodly <08231> heritage <05159>.

7 I will bless <01288> the LORD <03068>, who < 0834> hath given me counsel <03289>: my reins <03629> also <0637> instruct <03256> me in the night <03915> seasons.

8. I have set <07737> the LORD <03068> always < 08548> before <05048> me: because <03588> [he is] at my right <03225> hand <03225>, I shall not be moved <04131>.

9 Therefore <03651> my heart <03820> is glad < 08056>, and my glory <03519> rejoiceth <01523>: my flesh <01320> also <0637> shall rest <07931> in hope < 0983>.

10 For thou wilt not leave <05800> my soul <05315> in hell <07585>; neither <03808> wilt thou suffer <05414> thine Holy <02623> One to see <07200> corruption <07845> .

11 Thou wilt shew <03045> me the path <0734> of life <02416>: in thy presence <06440> [is] fulness < 07648> of joy <08057>; at thy right <03225> hand < 03225> [there are] pleasures <05273> for evermore <05331>.

Psalms 17

1. A Prayer <08605> of David <01732>. Hear < 08085> the right <06664>, O LORD <03068>, attend < 07181> unto my cry <07440>, give ear <0238> unto my prayer <08605>, [that goeth] not out of feigned <05234> lips < 08193>.

2 Let my sentence <04941> come <03318> forth < 03318> from thy presence <06440>; let thine eyes <05869> behold <02372> the things that are equal <04339>.

3 Thou hast proved <0974> mine heart <03820>; thou hast visited <06485> [me] in the night <03915>; thou hast tried <06884> me, [and] shalt find <04672> nothing; I am purposed <02161> [that] my mouth <06310> shall not transgress <05674>.

4 Concerning the works of men <0120>, by the word < 01697> of thy lips <08193> I have kept <08104> [me from] the paths <0734> of the destroyer <06530>.

5 Hold <08551> up my goings <0838> in thy paths < 04570>, [that] my footsteps <06471> slip <04131> not.

6 I have called <07121> upon thee, for thou wilt hear < 06030> me, O God <0410>: incline <05186> thine ear < 0241> unto me, [and hear <08085>] my speech <0565>.

7 Shew thy marvellous <06395> lovingkindness <02617> , O thou that savest <03467> by thy right <03225> hand < 03225> them which put their trust <02620> [in thee] from those that rise <06965> up [against them].

8. Keep <08104> me as the apple <01323> of the eye <05869>, hide <05641> me under the shadow <06738> of thy wings <03671>,

9 From the wicked <07563> that oppress <07703> me, [from] my deadly <05315> enemies <0341>, [who] compass < 05362> me about.

10 They are inclosed <05462> in their own <0249> fat <02459>: with their mouth <06310> they speak <01696> proudly <01348>.

11 They have now <06258> compassed <05437> us in our steps <0838>: they have set <07896> their eyes < 05869> bowing <05186> down <05186> to the earth <0776> ;

12 Like <01825> as a lion <0738> [that] is greedy <03700> of his prey <02963>, and as it were a young < 03715> lion <03715> lurking <03427> in secret <04565> places.

13 Arise <06965>, O LORD <03068>, disappoint < 06923> him, cast <03766> him down <03766>: deliver < 06403> my soul <05315> from the wicked <07563>, [which is] thy sword <02719>:

14 From men <04962> [which are] thy hand <03027>, O LORD <03068>, from men <04962> of the world <02465>, [which have] their portion <02506> in [this] life <02416>, and whose belly <0990> thou fillest <04390> with thy hid < 06845> [treasure]: they are full <07646> of children <01121> , and leave <03241> the rest <03499> of their [substance] to their babes <05768>.

15 As for me, I will behold <02372> thy face <06440> in righteousness <06664>: I shall be satisfied <07646>, when I awake <06974>, with thy likeness <08544>.

Psalms 18

1. To the chief Musician <05329>, [A Psalm] of David < 01732>, the servant <05650> of the LORD <03068>, who < 0834> spake <01696> unto the LORD <03068> the words < 01697> of this <02088> song <07892> in the day <03117> [that] the LORD <03068> delivered <05337> him from the hand of all <03605> his enemies <0341>, and from the hand < 03027> of Saul <07586>: And he said <0559>, I will love < 07355> thee, O LORD <03068>, my strength <02391>.

2 The LORD <03068> [is] my rock <05553>, and my fortress <04686>, and my deliverer <06403>; my God <0410> , my strength <06697>, in whom I will trust <02620>; my buckler <04043>, and the horn <07161> of my salvation < 03468>, [and] my high <04869> tower <04869>.

3 I will call <07121> upon the LORD <03068>, [who is worthy] to be praised <01984>: so shall I be saved <03467> from mine enemies <0341>.

4 The sorrows <02256> of death <04194> compassed <0661> me, and the floods <05158> of ungodly <01100> men made me afraid <01204>.

5 The sorrows <02256> of hell <07585> compassed < 05437> me about: the snares <04170> of death <04194> prevented <06923> me.

6 In my distress <06862> I called <07121> upon the LORD <03068>, and cried <07768> unto my God <0430>: he heard <08085> my voice <06963> out of his temple <01964>, and my cry <07775> came <0935> before <06440> him, [even] into his ears <0241>.

7 Then the earth <0776> shook <01607> and trembled <07493>; the foundations <04146> also of the hills < 02022> moved <07264> and were shaken <01607>, because < 03588> he was wroth <02734>.

8 There went <05927> up a smoke <06227> out of his nostrils <0639>, and fire <0784> out of his mouth <06310> devoured <0398>: coals <01513> were kindled <01197> by it.

9 He bowed <05186> the heavens <08064> also, and came <03381> down <03381>: and darkness <06205> [was] under <08478> his feet <07272>.

10 And he rode <07392> upon a cherub <03742>, and did fly <05774>: yea, he did fly <01675> upon the wings < 03671> of the wind <07307>.

11 He made <07896> darkness <02822> his secret < 05643> place; his pavilion <05521> round <05439> about him [were] dark <02824> waters <04325> [and] thick clouds < 05645> of the skies <07834>.

12 At the brightness <05051> [that was] before < 05048> him his thick clouds <05645> passed <05674>, hail <01259> [stones] and coals <01513> of fire <0784>.

13 The LORD <03068> also thundered <07481> in the heavens <08064>, and the Highest <05945> gave <05414> his voice <06963>; hail <01259> [stones] and coals < 01513> of fire <0784>.

14 Yea, he sent <07971> out his arrows <02671>, and scattered <06327> them; and he shot <07232> out lightnings < 01300>, and discomfited <01949> them.

15 Then the channels <0650> of waters <04325> were seen <07200>, and the foundations <04146> of the world < 08398> were discovered <01540> at thy rebuke <01606>, O LORD <03068>, at the blast <05397> of the breath <07307> of thy nostrils <0639>.

16 He sent <07971> from above <04791>, he took < 03947> me, he drew <04871> me out of many <07227> waters <04325>.

17 He delivered <05337> me from my strong <05794> enemy <0341>, and from them which hated <08130> me: for they were too strong <0553> for me.

18 They prevented <06923> me in the day <03117> of my calamity <0343>: but the LORD <03068> was my stay < 04937>.

19 He brought <03318> me forth <03318> also into a large <04800> place <04800>; he delivered <02502> me, because <03588> he delighted <02654> in me.

20. The LORD <03068> rewarded <01580> me according to my righteousness <06664>; according to the cleanness <01252> of my hands <03027> hath he recompensed <07725> me.

21 For I have kept <08104> the ways <01870> of the LORD <03068>, and have not wickedly <07561> departed from my God <0430>.

22 For all <03605> his judgments <04941> [were] before <05048> me, and I did not put <05493> away <05493> his statutes <02708> from me.

23 I was also upright <08549> before <05973> him, and I kept <08104> myself from mine iniquity <05771>.

24 Therefore hath the LORD <03068> recompensed < 07725> me according to my righteousness <06664>, according to the cleanness <01252> of my hands <03027> in his eyesight < 05869>.

25 With the merciful <02623> thou wilt shew thyself merciful <02616>; with an upright <08549> man <01397> thou wilt shew thyself upright;

26 With the pure <02889> thou wilt shew thyself pure < 01305>; and with the froward <06141> thou wilt shew thyself froward <06617>.

27 For thou wilt save <03467> the afflicted <06041> people <05971>; but wilt bring <08213> down <08213> high <07311> looks <05869>.

28 For thou wilt light <0215> my candle <05216>: the LORD <03068> my God <0430> will enlighten <05050> my darkness <02822>.

29. For by thee I have run <07323> through a troop < 01416>; and by my God <0430> have I leaped <01801> over a wall <07791>.

30 [As for] God <0410>, his way <01870> [is] perfect <08549>: the word <0565> of the LORD <03068> is tried <06884>: he [is] a buckler <04043> to all <03605> those that trust <02620> in him.

31 For who <04310> [is] God <0433> save < 01107> the LORD <03068>? or <0176> who <04310> [is] a rock <06697> save <02108> our God <0430>?

32 [It is] God <0410> that girdeth <0247> me with strength <02428>, and maketh <05414> my way <01870> perfect <08549>.

33 He maketh <07737> my feet <07272> like hinds < 0355>' [feet <07272>], and setteth <05975> me upon my high <01116> places.

34 He teacheth <03925> my hands <03027> to war < 04421>, so that a bow <07198> of steel <05154> is broken <05181> by mine arms <02220>.

35 Thou hast also given <05414> me the shield < 04043> of thy salvation <03468>: and thy right <03225> hand <03225> hath holden <05582> me up, and thy gentleness < 06038> hath made me great <07235>.

36 Thou hast enlarged <07337> my steps <06806> under <08478> me, that my feet <07166> did not slip < 04571>.

37 I have pursued <07291> mine enemies <0341>, and overtaken <05381> them: neither <03808> did I turn < 07725> again <07725> till <05704> they were consumed < 03615>.

38 I have wounded <04272> them that they were not able <03201> to rise <06965>: they are fallen <05307> under <08478> my feet <07272>.

39 For thou hast girded <0247> me with strength < 02428> unto the battle <04421>: thou hast subdued <03766> under <08478> me those that rose <06965> up against me.

40 Thou hast also given <05414> me the necks <06203> of mine enemies <0341>; that I might destroy <06789> them that hate <08130> me.

41 They cried <07768>, but [there was] none <0369> to save <03467> [them: even] unto the LORD <03068>, but he answered <06030> them not.

42 Then did I beat <07833> them small as the dust < 06083> before the wind <07307>: I did cast <07324> them out as the dirt <02916> in the streets <02351>.

43 Thou hast delivered <06403> me from the strivings < 07379> of the people <05971>; [and] thou hast made <07760> me the head <07218> of the heathen <01471>: a people < 05971> [whom] I have not known <03045> shall serve <05647> me.

44 As soon as they hear <08085> of me, they shall obey <08085> me: the strangers shall submit <03584> themselves unto me.

45 The strangers shall fade <05034> away, and be afraid <02727> out of their close <04526> places.

46 The LORD <03068> liveth <02416>; and blessed < 01288> [be] my rock <06697>; and let the God <0430> of my salvation <03468> be exalted <07311>.

47 [It is] God <0410> that avengeth me, and subdueth < 01696> the people <05971> under <08478> me.

48 He delivereth <06403> me from mine enemies <0341> : yea <0637>, thou liftest <07311> me up above those that rise <06965> up against me: thou hast delivered <05337> me from the violent <02555> man <0376>.

49 Therefore will I give thanks <03034> unto thee, O LORD <03068>, among the heathen <01471>, and sing praises unto thy name <08034>.

50 Great <01431> deliverance <03444> giveth he to his king <04428>; and sheweth <06213> mercy <02617> to his anointed <04899>, to David <01732>, and to his seed < 02233> for evermore <05769>.

Psalms 19

1. To the chief Musician <05329>, A Psalm <04210> of David <01732>. The heavens <08064> declare <05608> the glory <03519> of God <0410>; and the firmament <07549> sheweth <05046> his handywork.

2 Day <03117> unto day <03117> uttereth < 05042> speech <0562>, and night <03915> unto night < 03915> sheweth <02331> knowledge <01847>.

3 [There is] no <0369> speech <0562> nor < 0369> language <01697>, [where] their voice <06963> is not heard <08085>.

4 Their line <06957> is gone <03318> out through all <03605> the earth <0776>, and their words <04405> to the end <07097> of the world <08398>. In them hath he set < 07760> a tabernacle <0168> for the sun <08121>,

5 Which [is] as a bridegroom <02860> coming <03318> out of his chamber <02646>, [and] rejoiceth <07797> as a strong <01368> man to run <07323> a race <0734>.

6 His going <04161> forth <04161> [is] from the end <07097> of the heaven <08064>, and his circuit <08622> unto the ends <07098> of it: and there is nothing <0369> hid <05641> from the heat <02535> thereof.

7. The law <08451> of the LORD <03068> [is] perfect <08549>, converting <07725> the soul <05315>: the testimony <05715> of the LORD <03068> [is] sure <0539>, making wise <02449> the simple <06612>.

8 The statutes <06490> of the LORD <03068> [are] right <03477>, rejoicing <08055> the heart <03820>: the commandment <04687> of the LORD <03068> [is] pure <01249> , enlightening <0215> the eyes <05869>.

9 The fear <03374> of the LORD <03068> [is] clean <02889>, enduring <05975> for ever <05703>: the judgments <04941> of the LORD <03068> [are] true <0571> [and] righteous <06663> altogether <03162>.

10 More to be desired <02530> [are they] than gold < 02091>, yea, than much <07227> fine gold <06337>: sweeter <04966> also than honey <01706> and the honeycomb.

11 Moreover <01571> by them is thy servant <05650> warned <02094>: [and] in keeping <08104> of them [there is] great <07227> reward <06118>.

12 Who <04310> can understand <0995> [his] errors <07691>? cleanse <05352> thou me from secret <05641> [faults].

13 Keep <02820> back <02820> thy servant < 05650> also <01571> from presumptuous <02086> [sins]; let them not have dominion <04910> over me: then <0227> shall I be upright <08552>, and I shall be innocent <05352> from the great <07227> transgression <06588>.

14 Let the words <0561> of my mouth <06310>, and the meditation <01902> of my heart <03820>, be acceptable < 07522> in thy sight <06440>, O LORD <03068>, my strength <06697>, and my redeemer <01350>.

Psalms 20

1. To the chief Musician <05329>, A Psalm <04210> of David <01732>. The LORD <03068> hear <06030> thee in the day <03117> of trouble <06869>; the name <08034> of the God <0430> of Jacob <03290> defend <07682> thee;

2 Send <07971> thee help <05828> from the sanctuary <06944>, and strengthen <05582> thee out of Zion <06726>;

3 Remember <02142> all <03605> thy offerings < 04503>, and accept <01878> thy burnt <05930> sacrifice; Selah <05542>.

4 Grant <05414> thee according to thine own heart < 03824>, and fulfil <04390> all <03605> thy counsel < 06098>.

5 We will rejoice <07442> in thy salvation <03444>, and in the name <08034> of our God <0430> we will set up [our] banners <01713>: the LORD <03068> fulfil <04390> all < 03605> thy petitions <04862>.

6. Now <06258> know <03045> I that the LORD < 03068> saveth <03467> his anointed <04899>; he will hear <06030> him from his holy <06944> heaven <08064> with the saving <03468> strength <01369> of his right <03225> hand <03225>.

7 Some <0428> [trust] in chariots <07393>, and some <0428> in horses <05483>: but we will remember <02142> the name <08034> of the LORD <03068> our God <0430>.

8 They are brought <03766> down <03766> and fallen <05307>: but we are risen <06965>, and stand <05749> upright.

9 Save <03467>, LORD <03068>: let the king < 04428> hear <06030> us when we call <07121>.

Psalms 21

1. To the chief Musician <05329>, A Psalm <04210> of David <01732>. The king <04428> shall joy <08055> in thy strength <05797>, O LORD <03068>; and in thy salvation < 03444> how <04100> greatly <03966> shall he rejoice < 01523>!

2 Thou hast given <05414> him his heart's <03820> desire <08378>, and hast not withholden <04513> the request <0782> of his lips <08193>. Selah <05542>.

3 For thou preventest <06923> him with the blessings < 01293> of goodness <02896>: thou settest <07896> a crown <05850> of pure <06337> gold <06337> on his head < 07218>.

4 He asked <07592> life <02416> of thee, [and] thou gavest <05414> [it] him, [even] length <0753> of days < 03117> for ever <05769> and ever <05703>.

5 His glory <03519> [is] great <01419> in thy salvation <03444>: honour <01935> and majesty <01926> hast thou laid <07737> upon him.

6 For thou hast made <07896> him most blessed < 01293> for ever <05703>: thou hast made him exceeding < 02302> glad <02302> with thy countenance <06440>.

7. For the king <04428> trusteth <0982> in the LORD <03068>, and through the mercy <02617> of the most < 05945> High <05945> he shall not be moved <04131>.

8 Thine hand <03027> shall find <04672> out all < 03605> thine enemies <0341>: thy right <03225> hand < 03225> shall find <04672> out those that hate <08130> thee.

9 Thou shalt make <07896> them as a fiery <0784> oven <08574> in the time <06256> of thine anger <06440>: the LORD <03068> shall swallow <01104> them up in his wrath <0639>, and the fire <0784> shall devour <0398> them.

10 Their fruit <06529> shalt thou destroy <06> from the earth <0776>, and their seed <02233> from among the children <01121> of men <0120>.

11 For they intended <05186> evil <07451> against <05921> thee: they imagined <02803> a mischievous <04209> device, [which] they are not able <03201> [to perform].

12 Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back <07926>, [when] thou shalt make ready <03559> [thine arrows] upon thy strings <04340> against <05921> the face <06440> of them.

13 Be thou exalted <07311>, LORD <03068>, in thine own strength <05797>: [so] will we sing <07891> and praise < 02167> thy power <01369>.

Psalms 22

1. To the chief Musician <05329> upon <05921> Aijeleth <0365> Shahar <07837>, A Psalm <04210> of David <01732>. My God <0410>, my God <0410>, why <04100> hast thou forsaken <05800> me? [why art thou so] far <07350> from helping <03467> me, [and from] the words <01697> of my roaring <07581>?

2 O my God <0430>, I cry <07121> in the daytime < 03119>, but thou hearest <06030> not; and in the night < 03915> season, and am not silent <01947>.

3 But thou [art] holy <06918>, [O thou] that inhabitest <03427> the praises <08416> of Israel <03478>.

4 Our fathers <01> trusted <0982> in thee: they trusted <0982>, and thou didst deliver <06403> them.

5 They cried <02199> unto thee, and were delivered < 04422>: they trusted <0982> in thee, and were not confounded < 0954>.

6 But I [am] a worm <08438>, and no <03808> man < 0376>; a reproach <02781> of men <0120>, and despised < 0959> of the people <05971>.

7 All <03605> they that see <07200> me laugh < 03932> me to scorn: they shoot <06362> out the lip <08193>, they shake <05128> the head <07218>, [saying],

8 He trusted <01556> on <0413> the LORD < 03068> [that] he would deliver <06403> him: let him deliver < 05337> him, seeing he delighted <02654> in him.

9 But thou [art] he that took <01518> me out of the womb <0990>: thou didst make me hope <0982> [when I was] upon my mother's <0517> breasts <07699>.

10 I was cast <07993> upon thee from the womb < 07358>: thou [art] my God <0410> from my mother's <0517> belly <0990>.

11. Be not far <07368> from me; for trouble <06869> [is] near <07138>; for [there is] none <0369> to help < 05826>.

12 Many <07227> bulls <06499> have compassed < 05437> me: strong <047> [bulls] of Bashan <01316> have beset <03803> me round <03803>.

13 They gaped <06475> upon me [with] their mouths < 06310>, [as] a ravening <02963> and a roaring <07580> lion <0738>.

14 I am poured <08210> out like water <04325>, and all <03605> my bones <06106> are out of joint <06504>: my heart <03820> is like wax <01749>; it is melted < 04549> in the midst <08432> of my bowels <04578>.

15 My strength <03581> is dried <03001> up like a potsherd <02789>; and my tongue <03956> cleaveth <01692> to my jaws <04455>; and thou hast brought <08239> me into the dust <06083> of death <04194>.

16 For dogs <03611> have compassed <05437> me: the assembly <05712> of the wicked <07489> have inclosed < 05362> me: they pierced <0738> my hands <03027> and my feet <07272>.

17 I may tell <05608> all <03605> my bones < 06106>: they look <05027> [and] stare <07200> upon me.

18 They part <02505> my garments <0899> among them, and cast <05307> lots <01486> upon my vesture <03830>.

19 But be not thou far <07368> from me, O LORD < 03068>: O my strength <0360>, haste <02363> thee to help <05833> me.

20 Deliver <05337> my soul <05315> from the sword <02719>; my darling <03173> from the power <03027> of the dog <03611>.

21 Save <03467> me from the lion's <0738> mouth < 06310>: for thou hast heard <06030> me from the horns < 07161> of the unicorns <07214>.

22. I will declare <05608> thy name <08034> unto my brethren <0251>: in the midst <08432> of the congregation < 06951> will I praise <01984> thee.

23 Ye that fear <03373> the LORD <03068>, praise <01984> him; all <03605> ye the seed <02233> of Jacob <03290>, glorify <03513> him; and fear <01481> him, all <03605> ye the seed <02233> of Israel <03478>.

24 For he hath not despised <0959> nor <03808> abhorred <08262> the affliction <06039> of the afflicted < 06041>; neither <03808> hath he hid <05641> his face < 06440> from him; but when he cried <07768> unto him, he heard < 08085>.

25 My praise <08416> [shall be] of thee in the great < 07227> congregation <06951>: I will pay <07999> my vows < 05088> before <06440> them that fear <03373> him.

26 The meek <06035> shall eat <0398> and be satisfied <07646>: they shall praise <01984> the LORD < 03068> that seek <01875> him: your heart <03824> shall live <02421> for ever <05703>.

27 All <03605> the ends <0657> of the world < 0776> shall remember <02142> and turn <07725> unto the LORD <03068>: and all <03605> the kindreds <04940> of the nations <01471> shall worship <07812> before <06440> thee.

28 For the kingdom <04410> [is] the LORD'S <03068>: and he [is] the governor <04910> among the nations <01471>.

29 All <03605> [they that be] fat <01879> upon earth <0776> shall eat <0398> and worship <07812>: all <03605> they that go <03381> down <03381> to the dust <06083> shall bow <03766> before <06440> him: and none <03808> can keep alive <02421> his own soul <05315>.

30 A seed <02233> shall serve <05647> him; it shall be accounted <05608> to the Lord <0136> for a generation < 01755>.

31 They shall come <0935>, and shall declare <05046> his righteousness <06666> unto a people <05971> that shall be born <03205>, that he hath done <06213> [this].

Psalms 23

1. A Psalm <04210> of David <01732>. The LORD < 03068> [is] my shepherd <07462>; I shall not want <02637>.

2 He maketh me to lie <07257> down <07257> in green <01877> pastures <04999>: he leadeth <05095> me beside <05921> the still <04496> waters <04325>.

3 He restoreth <07725> my soul <05315>: he leadeth <05090> me in the paths <04570> of righteousness <06664> for his name's <08034> sake <04616>.

4 Yea <01571>, though <03588> I walk <03212> through the valley <01516> of the shadow <06757> of death < 06757>, I will fear <03372> no <03808> evil <07451>: for thou [art] with me; thy rod <07626> and thy staff <04938> they comfort <05162> me.

5 Thou preparest <06186> a table <07979> before < 06440> me in the presence <05048> of mine enemies <06887>: thou anointest <01878> my head <07218> with oil <08081>; my cup <03563> runneth <07310> over.

6 Surely <0389> goodness <02896> and mercy < 02617> shall follow <07291> me all <03605> the days < 03117> of my life <02416>: and I will dwell <03427> in the house <01004> of the LORD <03068> for ever.

Psalms 24

1. A Psalm <04210> of David <01732>. The earth < 0776> [is] the LORD'S <03068>, and the fulness <04393> thereof; the world <08398>, and they that dwell <03427> therein.

2 For he hath founded <03245> it upon the seas < 03220>, and established <03559> it upon the floods <05104>.

3. Who <04310> shall ascend <05927> into the hill <02022> of the LORD <03068>? or who <04310> shall stand <06965> in his holy <06944> place <04725>?

4 He that hath clean <05355> hands <03709>, and a pure <01249> heart <03824>; who <0834> hath not lifted <05375> up his soul <05315> unto vanity <07723>, nor < 03808> sworn <07650> deceitfully <04820>.

5 He shall receive <05375> the blessing <01293> from the LORD <03068>, and righteousness <06666> from the God <0430> of his salvation <03468>.

6 This <02088> [is] the generation <01755> of them that seek <01875> him, that seek <01245> thy face <06440> , O Jacob <03290>. Selah <05542>.

7. Lift <05375> up your heads <07218>, O ye gates <08179>; and be ye lift <05375> up, ye everlasting < 05769> doors <06607>; and the King <04428> of glory < 03519> shall come <0935> in.

8 Who <04310> [is] this <02088> King <04428> of glory <03519>? The LORD <03068> strong <05808> and mighty <01368>, the LORD <03068> mighty <01368> in battle <04421>.

9 Lift <05375> up your heads <07218>, O ye gates <08179>; even lift <05375> [them] up, ye everlasting < 05769> doors <06607>; and the King <04428> of glory < 03519> shall come <0935> in.

10 Who <04310> is this <02088> King <04428> of glory <03519>? The LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, he [is] the King <04428> of glory <03519>. Selah <05542>.

Psalms 25

1. [A Psalm] of David <01732>. Unto thee, O LORD < 03068>, do I lift <05375> up my soul <05315>.

2 O my God <0430>, I trust <0982> in thee: let me not be ashamed <0954>, let not mine enemies <0341> triumph < 05970> over me.

3 Yea <01571>, let none <03808> that wait < 06960> on thee be ashamed <0954>: let them be ashamed <0954> which transgress <0898> without <07387> cause <07387>.

4 Shew <03045> me thy ways <01870>, O LORD < 03068>; teach <03925> me thy paths <0734>.

5 Lead <01869> me in thy truth <0571>, and teach <03925> me: for thou [art] the God <0430> of my salvation < 03468>; on thee do I wait <06960> all <03605> the day < 03117>.

6 Remember <02142>, O LORD <03068>, thy tender mercies <07356> and thy lovingkindnesses <02617>; for they [have been] ever of old <05769>.

7 Remember <02142> not the sins <02403> of my youth <05271>, nor my transgressions <06588>: according to thy mercy <02617> remember <02142> thou me for thy goodness <02898> ' sake <04616>, O LORD <03068>.

8. Good <02896> and upright <03477> [is] the LORD <03068>: therefore will he teach <03384> sinners <02400> in the way <01870>.

9 The meek <06035> will he guide <01869> in judgment <04941>: and the meek <06035> will he teach < 03925> his way <01870>.

10 All <03605> the paths <0734> of the LORD < 03068> [are] mercy <02617> and truth <0571> unto such as keep <05341> his covenant <01285> and his testimonies < 05713>.

11 For thy name's <08034> sake <04616>, O LORD < 03068>, pardon <05545> mine iniquity <05771>; for it [is] great <07227>.

12 What <04310> man <0376> [is] he that feareth < 03373> the LORD <03068>? him shall he teach <03384> in the way <01870> [that] he shall choose <0977>.

13 His soul <05315> shall dwell <03885> at ease < 02896>; and his seed <02233> shall inherit <03423> the earth <0776>.

14 The secret <05475> of the LORD <03068> [is] with them that fear <03373> him; and he will shew <03045> them his covenant <01285>.

15. Mine eyes <05869> [are] ever <08548> toward < 0413> the LORD <03068>; for he shall pluck <03318> my feet <07272> out of the net <07568>.

16 Turn <06437> thee unto me, and have mercy <02603> upon me; for I [am] desolate <03173> and afflicted <06041>.

17 The troubles <06869> of my heart <03824> are enlarged <07337>: [O] bring <03318> thou me out of my distresses <04691>.

18 Look <07200> upon mine affliction <06040> and my pain <05999>; and forgive <05375> all <03605> my sins <02403>.

19 Consider <07200> mine enemies <0341>; for they are many <07231>; and they hate <08130> me with cruel < 02555> hatred <08135>.

20 O keep <08104> my soul <05315>, and deliver < 05337> me: let me not be ashamed <0954>; for I put my trust < 02620> in thee.

21 Let integrity <08537> and uprightness <03476> preserve <05341> me; for I wait <06960> on thee.

22 Redeem <06299> Israel <03478>, O God <0430> , out of all <03605> his troubles <06869>.

Psalms 26

1. [A Psalm] of David <01732>. Judge <08199> me, O LORD <03068>; for I have walked <01980> in mine integrity < 08537>: I have trusted <0982> also in the LORD <03068>; [therefore] I shall not slide <04571>.

2 Examine <0974> me, O LORD <03068>, and prove < 05254> me; try <06884> my reins <03629> and my heart < 03820>.

3 For thy lovingkindness <02617> [is] before <05048> mine eyes <05869>: and I have walked <01980> in thy truth < 0571>.

4 I have not sat <03427> with vain <07723> persons <04962>, neither <03808> will I go <0935> in with dissemblers <05956>.

5 I have hated <08130> the congregation <06951> of evil <07489> doers <07489>; and will not <03808> sit < 03427> with the wicked <07563>.

6. I will wash <07364> mine hands <03709> in innocency <05356>: so will I compass <05437> thine altar < 04196>, O LORD <03068>:

7 That I may publish <08085> with the voice <06963> of thanksgiving <03034>, and tell <05608> of all <03605> thy wondrous <06381> works.

8 LORD <03068>, I have loved <0157> the habitation <04583> of thy house <01004>, and the place <04725> where thine honour <03519> dwelleth <04908>.

9 Gather <0622> not my soul <05315> with sinners <02400>, nor my life <02416> with bloody <01818> men < 0582>:

10 In whose <0834> hands <03027> [is] mischief < 02154>, and their right <03225> hand <03225> is full < 04390> of bribes <07810>.

11 But as for me, I will walk <03212> in mine integrity <08537>: redeem <06299> me, and be merciful <02603> unto me.

12 My foot <07272> standeth <05975> in an even < 04334> place: in the congregations <04721> will I bless < 01288> the LORD <03068>.

Psalms 27

1. [A Psalm] of David <01732>. The LORD <03068> [is] my light <0216> and my salvation <03468>; whom <04310> shall I fear <03372>? the LORD <03068> [is] the strength < 04581> of my life <02416>; of whom <04310> shall I be afraid <06342>?

2 When the wicked <07489>, [even] mine enemies < 06862> and my foes <0341>, came <07126> upon me to eat < 0398> up my flesh <01320>, they stumbled <03782> and fell <05307>.

3 Though <0518> an host <04264> should encamp < 02583> against <05921> me, my heart <03820> shall not fear <03372>: though <0518> war <04421> should rise < 06965> against <05921> me, in this <02063> [will] I [be] confident <0982>.

4 One <0259> [thing] have I desired <07592> of the LORD <03068>, that will I seek <01245> after; that I may dwell <03427> in the house <01004> of the LORD <03068> all < 03605> the days <03117> of my life <02416>, to behold < 02372> the beauty <05278> of the LORD <03068>, and to enquire <01239> in his temple <01964>.

5 For in the time <03117> of trouble <07451> he shall hide <06845> me in his pavilion <05520>: in the secret <05643> of his tabernacle <0168> shall he hide <05641> me; he shall set <07311> me up upon a rock <06697>.

6 And now <06258> shall mine head <07218> be lifted <07311> up above <05921> mine enemies <0341> round < 05439> about me: therefore will I offer <02076> in his tabernacle <0168> sacrifices <02077> of joy <08643>; I will sing <07891>, yea, I will sing <02167> praises unto the LORD < 03068>.

7. Hear <08085>, O LORD <03068>, [when] I cry < 07121> with my voice <06963>: have mercy <02603> also upon me, and answer <06030> me.

8 [When thou saidst <0559>], Seek <01245> ye my face <06440>; my heart <03820> said <0559> unto thee, Thy face <06440>, LORD <03068>, will I seek <01245>.

9 Hide <05641> not thy face <06440> [far] from me; put <05186> not thy servant <05650> away <05186> in anger <0639>: thou hast been <01961> my help <05833>; leave <05203> me not, neither <0408> forsake <05800> me, O God <0430> of my salvation <03468>.

10 When <03588> my father <01> and my mother < 0517> forsake <05800> me, then the LORD <03068> will take <0622> me up.

11 Teach <03384> me thy way <01870>, O LORD < 03068>, and lead <05148> me in a plain <04334> path < 0734>, because <04616> of mine enemies <08342>.

12 Deliver <05414> me not over unto the will <05315> of mine enemies <06862>: for false <08267> witnesses < 05707> are risen <06965> up against me, and such as breathe < 03307> out cruelty <02555>.

13 [I had fainted], unless <03884> I had believed < 0539> to see <07200> the goodness <02898> of the LORD < 03068> in the land <0776> of the living <02416>.

14 Wait <06960> on the LORD <03068>: be of good courage <02388>, and he shall strengthen <0553> thine heart <03820>: wait <06960>, I say, on the LORD <03068>.

Psalms 28

1. [A Psalm] of David <01732>. Unto thee will I cry < 07121>, O LORD <03068> my rock <06697>; be not silent < 02790> to me: lest <06435>, [if] thou be silent <02790> to me, I become <04911> like <05973> them that go <03381> down <03381> into the pit <0953>.

2 Hear <08085> the voice <06963> of my supplications <08469>, when I cry <07768> unto thee, when I lift <05375> up my hands <03027> toward <0413> thy holy <06944> oracle <01687>.

3 Draw <04900> me not away with the wicked <07563>, and with the workers <06466> of iniquity <0205>, which speak <01696> peace <07965> to their neighbours <07453>, but mischief <07451> [is] in their hearts <03824>.

4 Give <05414> them according to their deeds <06467> , and according to the wickedness <07455> of their endeavours < 04611>: give <05414> them after the work <04639> of their hands <03027>; render <07725> to them their desert < 01576>.

5 Because <03588> they regard <0995> not the works <06468> of the LORD <03068>, nor the operation <04639> of his hands <03027>, he shall destroy <02040> them, and not build <01129> them up.

6. Blessed <01288> [be] the LORD <03068>, because <03588> he hath heard <08085> the voice <06963> of my supplications <08469>.

7 The LORD <03068> [is] my strength <05797> and my shield <04043>; my heart <03820> trusted <0982> in him, and I am helped <05826>: therefore my heart <03820> greatly rejoiceth <05937>; and with my song <07892> will I praise < 03034> him.

8 The LORD <03068> [is] their strength <05797>, and he [is] the saving <03444> strength <04581> of his anointed <04899>.

9 Save <03467> thy people <05971>, and bless < 01288> thine inheritance <05159>: feed <07462> them also, and lift <05375> them up for ever <05769>.

Psalms 29

1. A Psalm <04210> of David <01732>. Give < 03051> unto the LORD <03068>, O ye mighty, give <03051> unto the LORD <03068> glory <03519> and strength <05797>.

2 Give <03051> unto the LORD <03068> the glory < 03519> due unto his name <08034>; worship <07812> the LORD <03068> in the beauty <01927> of holiness <06944>.

3 The voice <06963> of the LORD <03068> [is] upon the waters <04325>: the God <0410> of glory <03519> thundereth <07481>: the LORD <03068> [is] upon many < 07227> waters <04325>.

4 The voice <06963> of the LORD <03068> [is] powerful <03581>; the voice <06963> of the LORD <03068> [is] full of majesty <01926>.

5 The voice <06963> of the LORD <03068> breaketh <07665> the cedars <0730>; yea, the LORD <03068> breaketh <07665> the cedars <0730> of Lebanon <03844>.

6 He maketh them also to skip <07540> like <03644> a calf <05695>; Lebanon <03844> and Sirion <08304> like <03644> a young <01121> unicorn <07214>.

7 The voice <06963> of the LORD <03068> divideth <02672> the flames <03852> of fire <0784>.

8 The voice <06963> of the LORD <03068> shaketh < 02342> the wilderness <04057>; the LORD <03068> shaketh < 02342> the wilderness <04057> of Kadesh <06946>.

9 The voice <06963> of the LORD <03068> maketh the hinds <0355> to calve <02342>, and discovereth <02834> the forests <03295>: and in his temple <01964> doth every < 03605> one speak <0559> of [his] glory <03519>.

10 The LORD <03068> sitteth <03427> upon the flood <03999>; yea, the LORD <03068> sitteth <03427> King < 04428> for ever <05769>.

11 The LORD <03068> will give <05414> strength < 05797> unto his people <05971>; the LORD <03068> will bless <01288> his people <05971> with peace <07965>.

Psalms 30

1. A Psalm <04210> [and] Song <07892> [at] the dedication <02598> of the house <01004> of David <01732>. I will extol <07311> thee, O LORD <03068>; for thou hast lifted <01802> me up, and hast not made my foes <0341> to rejoice <08055> over me.

2 O LORD <03068> my God <0430>, I cried < 07768> unto thee, and thou hast healed <07495> me.

3 O LORD <03068>, thou hast brought <05927> up my soul <05315> from the grave <07585>: thou hast kept me alive <02421>, that I should not go <03381> down <03381> to the pit <0953>.

4 Sing <02167> unto the LORD <03068>, O ye saints <02623> of his, and give thanks <03034> at the remembrance < 02143> of his holiness <06944>.

5 For his anger <0639> [endureth but] a moment < 07281>; in his favour <07522> [is] life <02416>: weeping <01065> may endure <03885> for a night <06153>, but joy <07440> [cometh] in the morning <01242>.

6. And in my prosperity <07961> I said <0559>, I shall never be moved <04131>.

7 LORD <03068>, by thy favour <07522> thou hast made my mountain <02042> to stand <05975> strong <05797>: thou didst hide <05641> thy face <06440>, [and] I was troubled <0926>.

8 I cried <07121> to thee, O LORD <03068>; and unto the LORD <03068> I made supplication <02603>.

9 What <04100> profit <01215> [is there] in my blood <01818>, when I go <03381> down <03381> to the pit <07845>? Shall the dust <06083> praise <03034> thee? shall it declare <05046> thy truth <0571>?

10 Hear <08085>, O LORD <03068>, and have mercy < 02603> upon me: LORD <03068>, be thou my helper <05826>.

11 Thou hast turned <02015> for me my mourning < 04553> into dancing <04234>: thou hast put <06605> off my sackcloth <08242>, and girded <0247> me with gladness < 08057>;

12 To the end <04616> that [my] glory <03519> may sing <02167> praise to thee, and not be silent <01826>. O LORD <03068> my God <0430>, I will give thanks <03034> unto thee for ever <05769>.

Psalms 31

1. To the chief Musician <05329>, A Psalm <04210> of David <01732>. In thee, O LORD <03068>, do <06213> I put my trust <02620>; let me never <0408> be ashamed <0954>: deliver <06403> me in thy righteousness <06666>.

2 Bow <05186> down <05186> thine ear <0241> to me; deliver <05337> me speedily <04120>: be thou my strong <04581> rock <06697>, for an house <01004> of defence <04686> to save <03467> me.

3 For thou [art] my rock <05553> and my fortress < 04686>; therefore for thy name's <08034> sake <04616> lead <05148> me, and guide <05095> me.

4 Pull <03318> me out of the net <07568> that they have laid <02934> privily <02934> for me: for thou [art] my strength <04581>.

5 Into thine hand <03027> I commit <06485> my spirit <07307>: thou hast redeemed <06299> me, O LORD < 03068> God <0410> of truth <0571>.

6 I have hated <08130> them that regard <08104> lying <07723> vanities <01892>: but I trust <0982> in the LORD <03068>.

7 I will be glad <01523> and rejoice <08055> in thy mercy <02617>: for thou hast considered <07200> my trouble < 06040>; thou hast known <03045> my soul <05315> in adversities <06869>;

8 And hast not shut <05462> me up into the hand < 03027> of the enemy <0341>: thou hast set <05975> my feet <07272> in a large <04800> room <04800>.

9. Have mercy <02603> upon me, O LORD <03068>, for I am in trouble <06887>: mine eye <05869> is consumed < 06244> with grief <03708>, [yea], my soul <05315> and my belly <0990>.

10 For my life <02416> is spent <03615> with grief <03015>, and my years <08141> with sighing <0585>: my strength <03581> faileth <03782> because of mine iniquity < 05771>, and my bones <06106> are consumed <06244>.

11 I was a reproach <02781> among all <03605> mine enemies <06887>, but especially <03966> among my neighbours <07934>, and a fear <06343> to mine acquaintance <03045>: they that did see <07200> me without <02351> fled < 05074> from me.

12 I am forgotten <07911> as a dead <04191> man out of mind <03820>: I am like <03644> a broken <06> vessel <03627>.

13 For I have heard <08085> the slander <01681> of many <07227>: fear <04032> [was] on every <05437> side <05439>: while they took counsel <03245> together <03162> against <05921> me, they devised <02161> to take <03947> away my life <05315>.

14 But I trusted <0982> in thee, O LORD <03068>: I said <0559>, Thou [art] my God <0430>.

15 My times <06256> [are] in thy hand <03027>: deliver <05337> me from the hand <03027> of mine enemies < 0341>, and from them that persecute <07291> me.

16 Make thy face <06440> to shine <0215> upon thy servant <05650>: save <03467> me for thy mercies <02617> ' sake.

17 Let me not be ashamed <0954>, O LORD <03068>; for I have called <07121> upon thee: let the wicked <07563> be ashamed <0954>, [and] let them be silent <01826> in the grave <07585>.

18 Let the lying <08267> lips <08193> be put to silence <0481>; which speak <01696> grievous <06277> things proudly <01346> and contemptuously against <05921> the righteous <06662>.

19. [Oh] how <04100> great <07227> [is] thy goodness <02898>, which <0834> thou hast laid <06845> up for them that fear <03373> thee; [which] thou hast wrought <06466> for them that trust <02620> in thee before <05048> the sons < 01121> of men <0120>!

20 Thou shalt hide <05641> them in the secret < 05643> of thy presence <06440> from the pride <07407> of man <0376>: thou shalt keep them secretly <06845> in a pavilion <05521> from the strife <07379> of tongues < 03956>.

21 Blessed <01288> [be] the LORD <03068>: for he hath shewed me his marvellous <06381> kindness <02617> in a strong <04692> city <05892>.

22 For I said <0559> in my haste <02648>, I am cut <01629> off from before <05048> thine eyes <05869>: nevertheless <0403> thou heardest <08085> the voice < 06963> of my supplications <08469> when I cried <07768> unto thee.

23 O love <0157> the LORD <03068>, all <03605> ye his saints <02623>: [for] the LORD <03068> preserveth < 05341> the faithful <0539>, and plentifully <03499> rewardeth <07999> the proud <01346> doer <06218>.

24 Be of good courage <02388>, and he shall strengthen <0553> your heart <03824>, all <03605> ye that hope < 03176> in the LORD <03068>.

Psalms 32

1. [A Psalm] of David <01732>, Maschil <07919>. Blessed <0835> [is he whose] transgression <06588> [is] forgiven <05375>, [whose] sin <02401> [is] covered < 03680>.

2 Blessed <0835> [is] the man <0120> unto whom the LORD <03068> imputeth <02803> not iniquity <05771>, and in whose spirit <07307> [there is] no <0369> guile < 07423>.

3 When <03588> I kept <02790> silence <02790>, my bones <06106> waxed old <01086> through my roaring < 07581> all <03605> the day <03117> long.

4 For day <03119> and night <03915> thy hand < 03027> was heavy <03513> upon me: my moisture <03955> is turned <02015> into the drought <02725> of summer <07019> . Selah <05542>.

5 I acknowledged <03045> my sin <02403> unto thee, and mine iniquity <05771> have I not hid <03680>. I said < 0559>, I will confess <03034> my transgressions <06588> unto the LORD <03068>; and thou forgavest <05375> the iniquity <05771> of my sin <02403>. Selah <05542>.

6 For this <02063> shall every <03605> one that is godly <02623> pray <06419> unto thee in a time <06256> when thou mayest be found <04672>: surely <07535> in the floods <07858> of great <07227> waters <04325> they shall not come <05060> nigh <05060> unto him.

7. Thou [art] my hiding <05643> place; thou shalt preserve <05341> me from trouble <06862>; thou shalt compass < 05437> me about with songs <07438> of deliverance <06405>. Selah <05542>.

8 I will instruct <07919> thee and teach <03384> thee in the way <01870> which <02098> thou shalt go < 03212>: I will guide <03289> thee with mine eye <05869>.

9 Be ye not as the horse <05483>, [or] as the mule < 06505>, [which] have no <0369> understanding <0995>: whose mouth <05716> must be held <01102> in with bit <04964> and bridle <07448>, lest <01077> they come <07126> near <07126> unto thee.

10 Many <07227> sorrows <04341> [shall be] to the wicked <07563>: but he that trusteth <0982> in the LORD < 03068>, mercy <02617> shall compass <05437> him about.

11 Be glad <08056> in the LORD <03068>, and rejoice <01524>, ye righteous <06662>: and shout <07442> for joy, all <03605> [ye that are] upright <03477> in heart < 03820>.

Psalms 33

1. Rejoice <07442> in the LORD <03068>, O ye righteous <06662>: [for] praise <08416> is comely <05000> for the upright <03477>.

2 Praise <03034> the LORD <03068> with harp < 03658>: sing <02167> unto him with the psaltery <05035> [and] an instrument of ten <06218> strings.

3 Sing <07891> unto him a new <02319> song < 07892>; play <05059> skilfully <03190> with a loud noise <08643>.

4 For the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> [is] right <03477>; and all <03605> his works <04640> [are done] in truth <0530>.

5 He loveth <0157> righteousness <06666> and judgment <04941>: the earth <0776> is full <04390> of the goodness <02617> of the LORD <03068>.

6 By the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> were the heavens <08064> made <06213>; and all <03605> the host <06635> of them by the breath <07307> of his mouth < 06310>.

7 He gathereth <03664> the waters <04325> of the sea <03220> together as an heap <05067>: he layeth < 05414> up the depth <08415> in storehouses <0214>.

8 Let all <03605> the earth <0776> fear < 03372> the LORD <03068>: let all <03605> the inhabitants <03427> of the world <08398> stand <01481> in awe < 01481> of him.

9 For he spake <0559>, and it was [done]; he commanded <06680>, and it stood <05975> fast.

10 The LORD <03068> bringeth <06331> the counsel <06098> of the heathen <01471> to nought <06331>: he maketh the devices <04284> of the people <05971> of none < 05106> effect <05106>.

11 The counsel <06098> of the LORD <03068> standeth <05975> for ever <05769>, the thoughts <04284> of his heart <03820> to all generations <01755>.

12. Blessed <0835> [is] the nation <01471> whose < 0834> God <0430> [is] the LORD <03068>; [and] the people <05971> [whom] he hath chosen <0970> for his own inheritance <05159>.

13 The LORD <03068> looketh <05027> from heaven < 08064>; he beholdeth <07200> all <03605> the sons < 01121> of men <0120>.

14 From the place <04349> of his habitation <03427> he looketh <07688> upon all <03605> the inhabitants < 03427> of the earth <0776>.

15 He fashioneth <03335> their hearts <03820> alike <03162>; he considereth <0995> all <03605> their works <04640>.

16 There is no <0369> king <04428> saved < 03467> by the multitude <07230> of an host <02428>: a mighty <01368> man is not delivered <05337> by much < 07230> strength <03581>.

17 An horse <05483> [is] a vain <08267> thing for safety <08668>: neither <03808> shall he deliver <04422> [any] by his great <07230> strength <02428>.

18 Behold <02009>, the eye <05869> of the LORD < 03068> [is] upon them that fear <03373> him, upon them that hope <03176> in his mercy <02617>;

19 To deliver <05337> their soul <05315> from death <04194>, and to keep them alive <02421> in famine <07458> .

20 Our soul <05315> waiteth <02442> for the LORD <03068>: he [is] our help <05828> and our shield <04043>.

21 For our heart <03820> shall rejoice <08055> in him, because <03588> we have trusted <0982> in his holy < 06944> name <08034>.

22 Let thy mercy <02617>, O LORD <03068>, be upon us, according as we hope <03176> in thee.

Psalms 34

1. [A Psalm] of David <01732>, when he changed < 08138> his behaviour <02940> before <06440> Abimelech < 040>; who drove him away <01644>, and he departed <03212>. I will bless <01288> the LORD <03068> at all <03605> times <06256>: his praise <08416> [shall] continually < 08548> [be] in my mouth <06310>.

2 My soul <05315> shall make her boast <01984> in the LORD <03068>: the humble <06041> shall hear <08085> [thereof], and be glad <08056>.

3 O magnify <01431> the LORD <03068> with me, and let us exalt <07311> his name <08034> together <03162>.

4 I sought <01875> the LORD <03068>, and he heard <06030> me, and delivered <05337> me from all <03605> my fears <04035>.

5 They looked <05027> unto him, and were lightened < 05102>: and their faces <06440> were not ashamed <02659>.

6 This <02088> poor <06041> man cried <07121>, and the LORD <03068> heard <08085> [him], and saved < 03467> him out of all <03605> his troubles <06869>.

7 The angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> encampeth <02583> round <05439> about them that fear <03373> him, and delivereth <02502> them.

8 O taste <02938> and see <07200> that the LORD < 03068> [is] good <02896>: blessed <0835> [is] the man < 01397> [that] trusteth <02620> in him.

9 O fear <03372> the LORD <03068>, ye his saints <06918>: for [there is] no <0369> want <04270> to them that fear <03373> him.

10 The young <03715> lions <03715> do <06213> lack <07326>, and suffer hunger <07456>: but they that seek <01875> the LORD <03068> shall not want <02637> any < 03605> good <02896> [thing].

11. Come <03212>, ye children <01121>, hearken < 08085> unto me: I will teach <03925> you the fear <03374> of the LORD <03068>.

12 What <04310> man <0376> [is he that] desireth <02655> life <02416>, [and] loveth <0157> [many] days <03117>, that he may see <07200> good <02896>?

13 Keep <05341> thy tongue <03956> from evil < 07451>, and thy lips <08193> from speaking <01696> guile <04820>.

14 Depart <05493> from evil <07451>, and do < 06213> good <02896>; seek <01245> peace <07965>, and pursue <07291> it.

15 The eyes <05869> of the LORD <03068> [are] upon the righteous <06662>, and his ears <0241> [are open] unto their cry <07775>.

16 The face <06440> of the LORD <03068> [is] against them that do <06213> evil <07451>, to cut <03772> off the remembrance <02143> of them from the earth <0776>.

17 [The righteous] cry <06817>, and the LORD <03068> heareth <08085>, and delivereth <05337> them out of all < 03605> their troubles <06869>.

18 The LORD <03068> [is] nigh <07126> unto them that are of a broken <07665> heart <03820>; and saveth < 03467> such as be of a contrite <01793> spirit <07307>.

19 Many <07227> [are] the afflictions <07451> of the righteous <06662>: but the LORD <03068> delivereth < 05337> him out of them all <03605>.

20 He keepeth <08104> all <03605> his bones < 06106>: not one <0259> of them is broken <07665>.

21 Evil <07451> shall slay <04191> the wicked < 07563>: and they that hate <08130> the righteous <06662> shall be desolate <0816>.

22 The LORD <03068> redeemeth <06299> the soul < 05315> of his servants <05650>: and none <03808> of them that trust <02620> in him shall be desolate <0816>.

Psalms 35

1. [A Psalm] of David <01732>. Plead <07378> [my cause], O LORD <03068>, with them that strive <03401> with me: fight <03898> against them that fight <03898> against me.

2 Take <02388> hold <02388> of shield <04043> and buckler <06793>, and stand <06965> up for mine help < 05833>.

3 Draw <07324> out also the spear <02595>, and stop <05462> [the way] against <07125> them that persecute < 07291> me: say <0559> unto my soul <05315>, I [am] thy salvation <03444>.

4 Let them be confounded <0954> and put to shame < 03637> that seek <01245> after my soul <05315>: let them be turned <05472> back <0268> and brought <02659> to confusion <02659> that devise <02803> my hurt <07451>.

5 Let them be as chaff <04671> before <06440> the wind <07307>: and let the angel <04397> of the LORD < 03068> chase <01760> [them].

6 Let their way <01870> be dark <02822> and slippery <02519>: and let the angel <04397> of the LORD < 03068> persecute <07291> them.

7 For without <02600> cause <02600> have they hid <02934> for me their net <07568> [in] a pit <07845>, [which] without <02600> cause <02600> they have digged < 02658> for my soul <05315>.

8 Let destruction <07722> come <0935> upon him at unawares <03045>; and let his net <07568> that he hath hid < 02934> catch <03920> himself: into that very destruction < 07722> let him fall <05307>.

9 And my soul <05315> shall be joyful <01523> in the LORD <03068>: it shall rejoice <07797> in his salvation <03444>.

10 All <03605> my bones <06106> shall say < 0559>, LORD <03068>, who <04310> [is] like unto thee, which deliverest <05337> the poor <06041> from him that is too strong <02389> for him, yea, the poor <06041> and the needy <034> from him that spoileth <01497> him?

11. False <02555> witnesses <05707> did rise < 06965> up; they laid to my charge <07592> [things] that I knew <03045> not.

12 They rewarded <07999> me evil <07451> for good <02896> [to] the spoiling <07908> of my soul <05315>.

13 But as for me, when they were sick <02470>, my clothing <03830> [was] sackcloth <08242>: I humbled < 06031> my soul <05315> with fasting <06685>; and my prayer <08605> returned <07725> into <05921> mine own bosom < 02436>.

14 I behaved <01980> myself as though [he had been] my friend <07453> [or] brother <0251>: I bowed <07817> down <07817> heavily <06957>, as one that mourneth <057> [for his] mother <0517>.

15 But in mine adversity <06761> they rejoiced < 08055>, and gathered <0622> themselves together: [yea], the abjects <05222> gathered <0622> themselves together against <05921> me, and I knew <03045> [it] not; they did tear < 07167> [me], and ceased <01826> not:

16 With hypocritical <02611> mockers <03934> in feasts <04580>, they gnashed <02786> upon me with their teeth <08127>.

17. Lord <0136>, how <04100> long <05704> wilt thou look <07200> on? rescue <07725> my soul <05315> from their destructions <07722>, my darling <03173> from the lions <03715>.

18 I will give thee thanks <03034> in the great < 07227> congregation <06951>: I will praise <01984> thee among much <06079> people <05971>.

19 Let not them that are mine enemies <0341> wrongfully <08267> rejoice <08055> over me: [neither] let them wink < 07169> with the eye <05869> that hate <08130> me without <02600> a cause <02600>.

20 For they speak <01696> not peace <07965>: but they devise <02803> deceitful <04820> matters <01697> against <05921> [them that are] quiet <07282> in the land < 0776>.

21 Yea, they opened their mouth <06310> wide <07337> against <05921> me, [and] said <0559>, Aha <0253>, aha <0253>, our eye <05869> hath seen <07200> [it].

22 [This] thou hast seen <07200>, O LORD <03068>: keep not silence <02790>: O Lord <03068>, be not far < 07368> from me.

23 Stir <05782> up thyself, and awake <06974> to my judgment <04941>, [even] unto my cause <07379>, my God < 0430> and my Lord <0136>.

24 Judge <08199> me, O LORD <03068> my God < 0430>, according to thy righteousness <06664>; and let them not rejoice <08055> over me.

25 Let them not say <0559> in their hearts <03820>, Ah <0253>, so would <05315> we have it: let them not say < 0559>, We have swallowed <01104> him up.

26 Let them be ashamed <0954> and brought <02659> to confusion <02659> together <03162> that rejoice < 08055> at mine hurt <07451>: let them be clothed <03847> with shame <01322> and dishonour <03639> that magnify < 01431> [themselves] against <05921> me.

27 Let them shout <07442> for joy, and be glad < 08056>, that favour <02655> my righteous <06664> cause: yea, let them say <0559> continually <08548>, Let the LORD < 03068> be magnified <01431>, which hath pleasure <02655> in the prosperity <07965> of his servant <05650>.

28 And my tongue <03956> shall speak <01897> of thy righteousness <06664> [and] of thy praise <08416> all < 03605> the day <03117> long.

Psalms 36

1. To the chief Musician <05329>, [A Psalm] of David < 01732> the servant <05650> of the LORD <03068>. The transgression <06588> of the wicked <07563> saith <05002> within <07130> my heart <03820>, [that there is] no < 0369> fear <06343> of God <0430> before <05048> his eyes <05869>.

2 For he flattereth <02505> himself in his own eyes < 05869>, until his iniquity <05771> be found <04672> to be hateful <08130>.

3 The words <01697> of his mouth <06310> [are] iniquity <0205> and deceit <04820>: he hath left <02308> off to be wise <07919>, [and] to do good <03190>.

4 He deviseth <02803> mischief <0205> upon his bed <04904>; he setteth <03320> himself in a way <01870> [that is] not good <02896>; he abhorreth <03988> not evil < 07451>.

5. Thy mercy <02617>, O LORD <03068>, [is] in the heavens <08064>; [and] thy faithfulness <0530> [reacheth] unto the clouds <07834>.

6 Thy righteousness <06666> [is] like the great < 0410> mountains <02042>; thy judgments <04941> [are] a great <07227> deep <08415>: O LORD <03068>, thou preservest <03467> man <0120> and beast <0929>.

7 How <04100> excellent <03368> [is] thy lovingkindness <02617>, O God <0430>! therefore the children <01121> of men <0120> put their trust <02620> under the shadow <06738> of thy wings <03671>.

8 They shall be abundantly <07301> satisfied <07301> with the fatness <01880> of thy house <01004>; and thou shalt make them drink <08248> of the river <05158> of thy pleasures <05730>.

9 For with thee [is] the fountain <04726> of life < 02416>: in thy light <0216> shall we see <07200> light < 0216>.

10 O continue <04900> thy lovingkindness <02617> unto them that know <03045> thee; and thy righteousness <06666> to the upright <03477> in heart <03820>.

11 Let not the foot <07272> of pride <01346> come <0935> against me, and let not the hand <03027> of the wicked <07563> remove <05110> me.

12 There <08033> are the workers <06466> of iniquity <0205> fallen <05307>: they are cast <01760> down <01760>, and shall not be able <03201> to rise < 06965>.

Psalms 37

1. [A Psalm] of David <01732>. Fret <02734> not thyself because of evildoers <07489>, neither <0408> be thou envious <07065> against the workers <06213> of iniquity < 05766>.

2 For they shall soon <04120> be cut <05243> down <05243> like the grass <02682>, and wither <05034> as the green <03418> herb <01877>.

3 Trust <0982> in the LORD <03068>, and do < 06213> good <02896>; [so] shalt thou dwell <07931> in the land <0776>, and verily <0530> thou shalt be fed <07462>.

4 Delight <06026> thyself also in the LORD <03068>; and he shall give <05414> thee the desires <04862> of thine heart <03820>.

5 Commit <01556> thy way <01870> unto the LORD < 03068>; trust <0982> also in him; and he shall bring <06213> [it] to pass <06213>.

6 And he shall bring <03318> forth <03318> thy righteousness <06664> as the light <0216>, and thy judgment <04941> as the noonday <06672>.

7. Rest <01826> in the LORD <03068>, and wait < 02342> patiently <02342> for him: fret <02734> not thyself because of him who prospereth <06743> in his way <01870>, because of the man <0376> who bringeth <06213> wicked < 04209> devices <04209> to pass <06213>.

8 Cease <07503> from anger <0639>, and forsake < 05800> wrath <02534>: fret <02734> not thyself in any wise to do evil <07489>.

9 For evildoers <07489> shall be cut <03772> off: but those that wait <06960> upon the LORD <03068>, they shall inherit <03423> the earth <0776>.

10 For yet <05750> a little <04592> while, and the wicked <07563> [shall] not [be]: yea, thou shalt diligently < 0995> consider <0995> his place <04725>, and it [shall] not [be].

11 But the meek <06035> shall inherit <03423> the earth <0776>; and shall delight <06026> themselves in the abundance <07230> of peace <07965>.

12 The wicked <07563> plotteth <02161> against the just <06662>, and gnasheth <02786> upon him with his teeth < 08127>.

13 The Lord <0136> shall laugh <07832> at him: for he seeth <07200> that his day <03117> is coming <0935>.

14 The wicked <07563> have drawn <06605> out the sword <02719>, and have bent <01869> their bow <07198>, to cast <05307> down <05307> the poor <06041> and needy <034>, [and] to slay <02873> such as be of upright < 03477> conversation <01870>.

15 Their sword <02719> shall enter <0935> into their own heart <03820>, and their bows <07198> shall be broken <07665>.

16 A little <04592> that a righteous <06662> man hath [is] better <02896> than the riches <01995> of many < 07227> wicked <07563>.

17 For the arms <02220> of the wicked <07563> shall be broken <07665>: but the LORD <03068> upholdeth <05564> the righteous <06662>.

18 The LORD <03068> knoweth <03045> the days < 03117> of the upright <08549>: and their inheritance <05159> shall be for ever <05769>.

19 They shall not be ashamed <0954> in the evil < 07451> time <06256>: and in the days <03117> of famine < 07459> they shall be satisfied <07646>.

20 But the wicked <07563> shall perish <06>, and the enemies <0341> of the LORD <03068> [shall be] as the fat <03368> of lambs <03733>: they shall consume <03615>; into smoke <06227> shall they consume <03615> away.

21. The wicked <07563> borroweth <03867>, and payeth <07999> not again <07999>: but the righteous <06662> sheweth mercy <02603>, and giveth <05414>.

22 For [such as be] blessed <01288> of him shall inherit <03423> the earth <0776>; and [they that be] cursed < 07043> of him shall be cut <03772> off.

23 The steps <04703> of a [good] man <01397> are ordered <03559> by the LORD <03068>: and he delighteth < 02654> in his way <01870>.

24 Though <03588> he fall <05307>, he shall not be utterly cast <02904> down <02904>: for the LORD <03068> upholdeth <05564> [him with] his hand <03027>.

25 I have been <01961> young <05288>, and [now] am old <02204>; yet have I not seen <07200> the righteous < 06662> forsaken <05800>, nor his seed <02233> begging < 01245> bread <03899>.

26 [He is] ever merciful <02603>, and lendeth < 03867>; and his seed <02233> [is] blessed <01293>.

27 Depart <05493> from evil <07451>, and do < 06213> good <02896>; and dwell <07931> for evermore < 05769>.

28 For the LORD <03068> loveth <0157> judgment < 04941>, and forsaketh <05800> not his saints <02623>; they are preserved <08104> for ever <05769>: but the seed < 02233> of the wicked <07563> shall be cut <03772> off.

29 The righteous <06662> shall inherit <03423> the land <0776>, and dwell <07931> therein <05921> for ever <05703>.

30 The mouth <06310> of the righteous <06662> speaketh <01897> wisdom <02451>, and his tongue <03956> talketh <01696> of judgment <04941>.

31 The law <08451> of his God <0430> [is] in his heart <03820>; none <03808> of his steps <0838> shall slide <04571>.

32 The wicked <07563> watcheth <06822> the righteous <06662>, and seeketh <01245> to slay <04191> him.

33 The LORD <03068> will not leave <05800> him in his hand <03027>, nor <03808> condemn <07561> him when he is judged <08199>.

34. Wait <06960> on the LORD <03068>, and keep < 08104> his way <01870>, and he shall exalt <07311> thee to inherit <03423> the land <0776>: when the wicked <07563> are cut <03772> off, thou shalt see <07200> [it].

35 I have seen <07200> the wicked <07563> in great power <06184>, and spreading <06168> himself like a green < 07488> bay <0249> tree.

36 Yet he passed <05674> away, and, lo <02009>, he [was] not: yea, I sought <01245> him, but he could not be found < 04672>.

37 Mark <08104> the perfect <08535> [man], and behold <07200> the upright <03477>: for the end <0319> of [that] man <0376> [is] peace <07965>.

38 But the transgressors <06586> shall be destroyed < 08045> together <03162>: the end <0319> of the wicked < 07563> shall be cut <03772> off.

39 But the salvation <08668> of the righteous < 06662> [is] of the LORD <03068>: [he is] their strength < 04581> in the time <06256> of trouble <06869>.

40 And the LORD <03068> shall help <05826> them, and deliver <06403> them: he shall deliver <06403> them from the wicked <07563>, and save <03467> them, because < 03588> they trust <02620> in him.

Psalms 38

1. A Psalm <04210> of David <01732>, to bring to remembrance <02142>. O LORD <03068>, rebuke <03198> me not in thy wrath <07110>: neither chasten <03256> me in thy hot <02534> displeasure <02534>.

2 For thine arrows <02671> stick <05181> fast in me, and thy hand <03027> presseth <05181> me sore.

3 [There is] no <0369> soundness <04974> in my flesh <01320> because <06440> of thine anger <02195>; neither <0369> [is there any] rest <07965> in my bones < 06106> because <06440> of my sin <02403>.

4 For mine iniquities <05771> are gone <05674> over <05674> mine head <07218>: as an heavy <03515> burden <04853> they are too heavy <03513> for me.

5 My wounds <02250> stink <0887> [and] are corrupt <04743> because <06440> of my foolishness <0200>.

6 I am troubled <05753>; I am <01961> bowed < 07817> down <07817> greatly <03966>; I go <01980> mourning <06937> all <03605> the day <03117> long.

7 For my loins <03689> are filled <04390> with a loathsome <07033> [disease]: and [there is] no <0369> soundness <04974> in my flesh <01320>.

8 I am feeble <06313> and sore broken <01794>: I have roared <07580> by reason of the disquietness <05100> of my heart <03820>.

9 Lord <0136>, all <03605> my desire <08378> [is] before <05048> thee; and my groaning <0585> is not hid <05641> from thee.

10 My heart <03820> panteth <05503>, my strength <03581> faileth <05800> me: as for the light <0216> of mine eyes <05869>, it also <01571> is gone <0369> from me.

11 My lovers <0157> and my friends <07453> stand <05975> aloof <05048> from my sore <05061>; and my kinsmen <07138> stand <05975> afar <07350> off.

12. They also that seek <01245> after my life <05315> lay snares <05367> [for me]: and they that seek <01875> my hurt <07451> speak <01696> mischievous <01942> things, and imagine <01897> deceits <04820> all <03605> the day <03117> long.

13 But I, as a deaf <02795> [man], heard <08085> not; and [I was] as a dumb <0483> man [that] openeth <06605> not his mouth <06310>.

14 Thus I was as a man <0376> that heareth <08085> not, and in whose mouth <06310> [are] no <0369> reproofs < 08433>.

15 For in thee, O LORD <03068>, do I hope <03176>: thou wilt hear <06030>, O Lord <0136> my God <0430>.

16 For I said <0559>, [Hear me], lest <06435> [otherwise] they should rejoice <08056> over me: when my foot < 07272> slippeth <04131>, they magnify <01431> [themselves] against <05921> me.

17 For I [am] ready <03559> to halt <06761>, and my sorrow <04341> [is] continually <08548> before <05048> me.

18 For I will declare <05046> mine iniquity <05771>; I will be sorry <01672> for my sin <02403>.

19 But mine enemies <0341> [are] lively <02416>, [and] they are strong <06105>: and they that hate <08130> me wrongfully <08267> are multiplied <07231>.

20 They also that render <07999> evil <07451> for good <02896> are mine adversaries <07853>; because < 08478> I follow <07291> [the thing that] good <02896> [is].

21 Forsake <05800> me not, O LORD <03068>: O my God <0430>, be not far <07368> from me.

22 Make haste <02363> to help <05833> me, O Lord <0136> my salvation <08668>.

Psalms 39

1. To the chief Musician <05329>, [even] to Jeduthun < 03038>, A Psalm <04210> of David <01732>. I said < 0559>, I will take heed <08104> to my ways <01870>, that I sin <02398> not with my tongue <03956>: I will keep < 08104> my mouth <06310> with a bridle <04269>, while < 05750> the wicked <07563> is before <05048> me.

2 I was dumb <0481> with silence <01747>, I held <02714> my peace <02814>, [even] from good <02896>; and my sorrow <03511> was stirred <05916>.

3 My heart <03820> was hot <02552> within < 07130> me, while I was musing <01901> the fire <0784> burned <01197>: [then] spake <01696> I with my tongue < 03956>,

4 LORD <03068>, make me to know <03045> mine end <07093>, and the measure <04060> of my days <03117>, what <04310> it [is; that] I may know <03045> how <04100> frail <02310> I [am].

5 Behold <02009>, thou hast made <05414> my days <03117> [as] an handbreadth <02947>; and mine age <02465> [is] as nothing <0369> before <05048> thee: verily < 0389> every <03605> man <0120> at his best <05324> state <05324> [is] altogether <03605> vanity <01892>. Selah <05542>.

6 Surely <0389> every man <0376> walketh < 01980> in a vain shew <06754>: surely <0389> they are disquieted <01993> in vain <01892>: he heapeth <06651> up [riches], and knoweth <03045> not who <04310> shall gather <0622> them.

7. And now <06258>, Lord <0136>, what <04100> wait <06960> I for? my hope <08431> [is] in thee.

8 Deliver <05337> me from all <03605> my transgressions <06588>: make <07760> me not the reproach < 02781> of the foolish <05036>.

9 I was dumb <0481>, I opened <06605> not my mouth <06310>; because <03588> thou didst <06213> [it].

10 Remove <05493> thy stroke <05061> away from me: I am consumed <03615> by the blow <08409> of thine hand < 03027>.

11 When thou with rebukes <08433> dost correct < 03256> man <0376> for iniquity <05771>, thou makest his beauty <02530> to consume <04529> away like a moth < 06211>: surely <0389> every <03605> man <0120> [is] vanity <01892>. Selah <05542>.

12 Hear <08085> my prayer <08605>, O LORD < 03068>, and give ear <0238> unto my cry <07775>; hold < 02790> not thy peace <02790> at <0413> my tears < 01832>: for I [am] a stranger <01616> with thee, [and] a sojourner <08453>, as all <03605> my fathers <01> [were].

13 O spare <08159> me, that I may recover <01082> strength <01082>, before <02962> I go <03212> hence, and be no <0369> more.

Psalms 40

1. To the chief Musician <05329>, A Psalm <04210> of David <01732>. I waited <06960> patiently <06960> for the LORD <03068>; and he inclined <05186> unto me, and heard <08085> my cry <07775>.

2 He brought <05927> me up also out of an horrible < 07588> pit <0953>, out of the miry <03121> clay < 02916>, and set <06965> my feet <07272> upon a rock < 05553>, [and] established <03559> my goings <0838>.

3 And he hath put <05414> a new <02319> song < 07892> in my mouth <06310>, [even] praise <08416> unto our God <0430>: many <07227> shall see <07200> [it], and fear <03372>, and shall trust <0982> in the LORD <03068>.

4 Blessed <0835> [is] that man <01397> that maketh <07760> the LORD <03068> his trust <04009>, and respecteth <06437> not the proud <07295>, nor <03808> such as turn <07750> aside <07847> to lies <03576>.

5 Many <07227>, O LORD <03068> my God <0430>, [are] thy wonderful <06381> works [which] thou hast done < 06213>, and thy thoughts <04284> [which are] to us-ward < 0413>: they cannot <0408> be reckoned up in order <06186> unto thee: [if] I would declare <05046> and speak <01696> [of them], they are more <06105> than can be numbered <05608>.

6. Sacrifice <02077> and offering <04503> thou didst not desire <02654>; mine ears <0241> hast thou opened < 03738>: burnt <05930> offering and sin <02401> offering hast thou not required <07592>.

7 Then <0227> said <0559> I, Lo <02009>, I come <0935>: in the volume <04039> of the book <05612> [it is] written <03789> of me,

8 I delight <02654> to do <06213> thy will < 07522>, O my God <0430>: yea, thy law <08451> [is] within <08432> my heart <04578>.

9 I have preached <01319> righteousness <06664> in the great <07227> congregation <06951>: lo <02009>, I have not refrained <03607> my lips <08193>, O LORD < 03068>, thou knowest <03045>.

10 I have not hid <03680> thy righteousness <06666> within <08432> my heart <03820>; I have declared <0559> thy faithfulness <0530> and thy salvation <08668>: I have not concealed <03582> thy lovingkindness <02617> and thy truth < 0571> from the great <07227> congregation <06951>.

11. Withhold <03607> not thou thy tender mercies < 07356> from me, O LORD <03068>: let thy lovingkindness < 02617> and thy truth <0571> continually <08544> preserve <05341> me.

12 For innumerable evils <07451> have compassed < 0661> me about: mine iniquities <05771> have taken <05381> hold <05381> upon me, so that I am not able <03201> to look <07200> up; they are more <06105> than the hairs <08185> of mine head <07218>: therefore my heart <03820> faileth < 05800> me.

13 Be pleased <07521>, O LORD <03068>, to deliver <05337> me: O LORD <03068>, make haste <02363> to help <05833> me.

14 Let them be ashamed <0954> and confounded <02659> together <03162> that seek <01245> after my soul <05315> to destroy <05595> it; let them be driven <05472> backward <0268> and put to shame <03637> that wish <02655> me evil <07451>.

15 Let them be desolate <08074> for a reward <06118> of their shame <01322> that say <0559> unto me, Aha < 0253>, aha <0253>.

16 Let all <03605> those that seek <01245> thee rejoice <07797> and be glad <08056> in thee: let such as love <0157> thy salvation <08668> say <0559> continually < 08548>, The LORD <03068> be magnified <01431>.

17 But I [am] poor <06041> and needy <034>; [yet] the Lord <0136> thinketh <02803> upon me: thou [art] my help <05833> and my deliverer <06403>; make no <0408> tarrying <0309>, O my God <0430>.

Psalms 41

1. To the chief Musician <05329>, A Psalm <04210> of David <01732>. Blessed <0835> [is] he that considereth < 07919> the poor <01800>: the LORD <03068> will deliver < 04422> him in time <03117> of trouble <07451>.

2 The LORD <03068> will preserve <08104> him, and keep him alive <02421>; [and] he shall be blessed <0833> upon the earth <0776>: and thou wilt not deliver <05414> him unto the will <05315> of his enemies <0341>.

3 The LORD <03068> will strengthen <05582> him upon the bed <06210> of languishing <01741>: thou wilt make < 02015> all <03605> his bed <04904> in his sickness < 02483>.

4 I said <0559>, LORD <03068>, be merciful < 02603> unto me: heal <07495> my soul <05315>; for I have sinned <02398> against thee.

5. Mine enemies <0341> speak <0559> evil < 07451> of me, When <04970> shall he die <04191>, and his name <08034> perish <06>?

6 And if <0518> he come <0935> to see <07200> [me], he speaketh <01696> vanity <07723>: his heart < 03820> gathereth <06908> iniquity <0205> to itself; [when] he goeth <03318> abroad <02351>, he telleth <01696> [it].

7 All <03605> that hate <08130> me whisper < 03907> together <03162> against <05921> me: against < 05921> me do they devise <02803> my hurt <07451>.

8 An evil <01100> disease <01697>, [say they], cleaveth <03332> fast unto him: and [now] that he lieth <07901> he shall rise <06965> up no <03808> more <03254>.

9 Yea <01571>, mine own familiar <07965> friend, in whom <0834> I trusted <0982>, which did eat <0398> of my bread <03899>, hath lifted <01431> up [his] heel <06119> against <05921> me.

10 But thou, O LORD <03068>, be merciful <02603> unto me, and raise <06965> me up, that I may requite <07999> them.

11 By this <02063> I know <03045> that thou favourest <02654> me, because <03588> mine enemy <0341> doth not triumph <07321> over <05921> me.

12 And as for me, thou upholdest <08551> me in mine integrity <08537>, and settest <05324> me before thy face < 06440> for ever <05769>.

13 Blessed <01288> [be] the LORD <03068> God < 0430> of Israel <03478> from everlasting <05769>, and to everlasting <05769>. Amen <0543>, and Amen <0543>.

Psalms 42

1. To the chief Musician <05329>, Maschil <07919>, for the sons <01121> of Korah <07141>. As the hart <0354> panteth <06165> after <05921> the water <04325> brooks <0650>, so <03651> panteth <06165> my soul <05315> after <0413> thee, O God <0430>.

2 My soul <05315> thirsteth <06770> for God < 0430>, for the living <02416> God <0410>: when <04970> shall I come <0935> and appear <07200> before <06440> God <0430>?

3 My tears <01832> have been <01961> my meat < 03899> day <03119> and night <03915>, while they continually say <0559> unto me, Where <0346> [is] thy God < 0430>?

4 When I remember <02142> these <0428> [things], I pour <08210> out my soul <05315> in me: for I had gone < 05674> with the multitude <05519>, I went <01718> with them to the house <01004> of God <0430>, with the voice < 06963> of joy <07440> and praise <08426>, with a multitude <01995> that kept <02287> holyday <02287>.

5 Why art thou cast <07817> down <07817>, O my soul <05315>? and [why] art thou disquieted <01993> in me? hope < 03176> thou in God <0430>: for I shall yet <05750> praise <03034> him [for] the help <03444> of his countenance < 06440>.

6. O my God <0430>, my soul <05315> is cast < 07817> down <07817> within <05921> me: therefore will I remember <02142> thee from the land <0776> of Jordan < 03383>, and of the Hermonites <02769>, from the hill <02022> Mizar <04706>.

7 Deep <08415> calleth <07121> unto deep < 08415> at the noise <06963> of thy waterspouts <06794>: all <03605> thy waves <04867> and thy billows <01530> are gone <05674> over <05921> me.

8 [Yet] the LORD <03068> will command <06680> his lovingkindness <02617> in the daytime, and in the night <03915> his song <07892> [shall be] with me, [and] my prayer <08605> unto the God <0410> of my life <02416>.

9 I will say <0559> unto God <0410> my rock < 05553>, Why <04100> hast thou forgotten <07911> me? why < 04100> go <03212> I mourning <06937> because of the oppression <03906> of the enemy <0341>?

10 [As] with a sword <07524> in my bones <06106>, mine enemies <06887> reproach <02778> me; while they say < 0559> daily unto me, Where <0346> [is] thy God <0430>?

11 Why <04100> art thou cast <07817> down < 07817>, O my soul <05315>? and why <04100> art thou disquieted <01993> within <05921> me? hope <03176> thou in God <0430>: for I shall yet <05750> praise <03034> him, [who is] the health <03444> of my countenance <06440>, and my God <0430>.

Psalms 43

1. Judge <08199> me, O God <0430>, and plead < 07378> my cause <07379> against an ungodly nation <01471>: O deliver <06403> me from the deceitful <04820> and unjust < 05766> man <0376>.

2 For thou [art] the God <0430> of my strength < 04581>: why <04100> dost thou cast <02186> me off? why < 04100> go <01980> I mourning <06937> because of the oppression <03906> of the enemy <0341>?

3 O send <07971> out thy light <0216> and thy truth <0571>: let them lead <05148> me; let them bring <0935> me unto thy holy <06944> hill <02022>, and to thy tabernacles <04908>.

4 Then will I go <0935> unto the altar <04196> of God <0430>, unto God <0410> my exceeding <08057> joy < 01524>: yea, upon the harp <03658> will I praise <03034> thee, O God <0430> my God <0430>.

5 Why <04100> art thou cast <07817> down < 07817>, O my soul <05315>? and why <04100> art thou disquieted <01993> within <05921> me? hope <03176> in God <0430>: for I shall yet <05750> praise <03034> him, [who is] the health <03444> of my countenance <06440>, and my God <0430>.

Psalms 44

1. To the chief Musician <05329> for the sons <01121> of Korah <07141>, Maschil <07919>. We have heard <08085> with our ears <0241>, O God <0430>, our fathers <01> have told <05608> us, [what] work <06467> thou didst < 06466> in their days <03117>, in the times <03117> of old <06924>.

2 [How] thou didst drive <03423> out the heathen < 01471> with thy hand <03027>, and plantedst <05193> them; [how] thou didst afflict <07489> the people <03816>, and cast <07971> them out.

3 For they got <03423> not the land <0776> in possession <03423> by their own sword <02719>, neither < 03808> did their own arm <02220> save <03467> them: but thy right <03225> hand <03225>, and thine arm <02220>, and the light <0216> of thy countenance <06440>, because < 03588> thou hadst a favour <07520> unto them.

4 Thou art my King <04428>, O God <0430>: command <06680> deliverances <03444> for Jacob <03290>.

5 Through thee will we push <05055> down our enemies < 06862>: through thy name <08034> will we tread <0947> them under that rise <06965> up against us.

6 For I will not trust <0982> in my bow <07198>, neither <03808> shall my sword <02719> save <03467> me.

7 But thou hast saved <03467> us from our enemies < 06862>, and hast put them to shame <0954> that hated <08130> us.

8 In God <0430> we boast <01984> all <03605> the day <03117> long, and praise <03034> thy name <08034> for ever <05769>. Selah <05542>.

9. But thou hast cast <02186> off, and put us to shame < 03637>; and goest <03318> not forth <03318> with our armies <06635>.

10 Thou makest us to turn <07725> back <0268> from the enemy <06862>: and they which hate <08130> us spoil < 08154> for themselves.

11 Thou hast given <05414> us like sheep <06629> [appointed] for meat <03978>; and hast scattered <02219> us among the heathen <01471>.

12 Thou sellest <04376> thy people <05971> for nought, and dost not increase <07235> [thy wealth] by their price <04242>.

13 Thou makest <06213> us a reproach <02781> to our neighbours <07934>, a scorn <03933> and a derision < 07047> to them that are round <05439> about us.

14 Thou makest <06213> us a byword <04912> among the heathen <01471>, a shaking <04493> of the head < 07218> among the people <03816>.

15 My confusion <03639> [is] continually before < 05048> me, and the shame <01322> of my face <06440> hath covered <03680> me,

16 For the voice <06963> of him that reproacheth < 02778> and blasphemeth <01442>; by reason <06440> of the enemy <0341> and avenger <05358>.

17. All <03605> this <02063> is come <0935> upon us; yet have we not forgotten <07911> thee, neither < 03808> have we dealt falsely <08266> in thy covenant <01285> .

18 Our heart <03820> is not turned <05472> back < 0268>, neither have our steps <0838> declined <05186> from thy way <0734>;

19 Though <03588> thou hast sore broken <01794> us in the place <04725> of dragons <08577>, and covered < 03680> us with the shadow <06757> of death <06757>.

20 If <0518> we have forgotten <07911> the name < 08034> of our God <0430>, or stretched <06566> out our hands <03709> to a strange <02114> god <0430>;

21 Shall not God <0430> search <02713> this < 02063> out? for he knoweth <03045> the secrets <08587> of the heart <03820>.

22 Yea <03588>, for thy sake are we killed <02026> all <03605> the day <03117> long; we are counted <02803> as sheep <06629> for the slaughter <02878>.

23 Awake <05782>, why <04100> sleepest <03462> thou, O Lord <0136>? arise <06974>, cast <02186> [us] not off for ever <05331>.

24 Wherefore <04100> hidest <05641> thou thy face <06440>, [and] forgettest <07911> our affliction <06040> and our oppression <03906>?

25 For our soul <05315> is bowed <07743> down < 07743> to the dust <06083>: our belly <0990> cleaveth < 01692> unto the earth <0776>.

26 Arise <06965> for our help <05833>, and redeem <06299> us for thy mercies <02617>' sake <04616>.

Psalms 45

1. To the chief Musician <05329> upon Shoshannim < 07799>, for the sons <01121> of Korah <07141>, Maschil < 07919>, A Song <07892> of loves <03039>. My heart < 03820> is inditing <07370> a good <02896> matter < 01697>: I speak <0559> of the things which I have made < 04639> touching the king <04428>: my tongue <03956> [is] the pen <05842> of a ready <04106> writer <05608>.

2 Thou art fairer <03302> than the children <01121> of men <0120>: grace <02580> is poured <03332> into thy lips <08193>: therefore God <0430> hath blessed <01288> thee for ever <05769>.

3 Gird <02296> thy sword <02719> upon [thy] thigh <03409>, O [most] mighty <01368>, with thy glory <01935> and thy majesty <01926>.

4 And in thy majesty <01926> ride <07392> prosperously <06743> because of truth <0571> and meekness < 06037> [and] righteousness <06664>; and thy right <03225> hand <03225> shall teach <03384> thee terrible <03372> things.

5 Thine arrows <02671> [are] sharp <08150> in the heart <03820> of the king's <04428> enemies <0341>; [whereby] the people <05971> fall <05307> under <08478> thee.

6. Thy throne <03678>, O God <0430>, [is] for ever <05769> and ever <05703>: the sceptre <07626> of thy kingdom <04438> [is] a right <04334> sceptre <07626>.

7 Thou lovest <0157> righteousness <06664>, and hatest <08130> wickedness <07562>: therefore God <0430>, thy God <0430>, hath anointed <04886> thee with the oil < 08081> of gladness <08342> above thy fellows <02270>.

8 All <03605> thy garments <0899> [smell] of myrrh <04753>, and aloes <0174>, [and] cassia <07102>, out of the ivory <08127> palaces <01964>, whereby <04482> they have made thee glad <08056>.

9 Kings <04428>' daughters <01121> [were] among thy honourable <03368> women: upon thy right <03225> hand < 03225> did stand <05324> the queen <07694> in gold < 03800> of Ophir <0211>.

10. Hearken <08085>, O daughter <01323>, and consider <07200>, and incline <05186> thine ear <0241>; forget <07911> also thine own people <05971>, and thy father's <01> house <01004>;

11 So shall the king <04428> greatly desire <0183> thy beauty <03308>: for he [is] thy Lord <0113>; and worship <07812> thou him.

12 And the daughter <01323> of Tyre <06865> [shall be there] with a gift <04503>; [even] the rich <06223> among the people <05971> shall intreat <02470> thy favour < 06440>.

13 The king's <04428> daughter <01323> [is] all < 03605> glorious <03520> within <06441>: her clothing < 03830> [is] of wrought <04865> gold <02091>.

14 She shall be brought <02986> unto the king < 04428> in raiment <07553> of needlework <07553>: the virgins <01330> her companions <07464> that follow <0310> her shall be brought <0935> unto thee.

15 With gladness <08057> and rejoicing <01524> shall they be brought <02986>: they shall enter <0935> into the king's <04428> palace <01964>.

16 Instead <08478> of thy fathers <01> shall be thy children <01121>, whom thou mayest make princes <08269> in all <03605> the earth <0776>.

17 I will make thy name <08034> to be remembered < 02142> in all <03605> generations <01755>: therefore shall the people <05971> praise <03034> thee for ever <05769> and ever <05703>.

Psalms 46

1. To the chief Musician <05329> for the sons <01121> of Korah <07141>, A Song <07892> upon Alamoth <05921> <05961>. God <0430> [is] our refuge <04268> and strength <05797>, a very <03966> present <04672> help < 05833> in trouble <06869>.

2 Therefore will not we fear <03372>, though the earth <0776> be removed <04171>, and though the mountains < 02022> be carried <04131> into the midst <03820> of the sea <03220>;

3 [Though] the waters <04325> thereof roar <01993> [and] be troubled <02560>, [though] the mountains <02022> shake <07493> with the swelling <01346> thereof. Selah < 05542>.

4 [There is] a river <05104>, the streams <06388> whereof shall make glad <08056> the city <05892> of God < 0430>, the holy <06918> [place] of the tabernacles <04908> of the most <05945> High <05945>.

5 God <0430> [is] in the midst <07130> of her; she shall not be moved <04131>: God <0430> shall help <05826> her, [and that] right <06437> early <01242>.

6. The heathen <01471> raged <01993>, the kingdoms <04467> were moved <04131>: he uttered <05414> his voice <06963>, the earth <0776> melted <04127>.

7 The LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> [is] with us; the God <0430> of Jacob <03290> [is] our refuge <04869>. Selah <05542>.

8 Come <03212>, behold <02372> the works < 04659> of the LORD <03068>, what <0834> desolations < 08047> he hath made <07760> in the earth <0776>.

9 He maketh wars <04421> to cease <07673> unto the end <07097> of the earth <0776>; he breaketh <07665> the bow <07198>, and cutteth <07112> the spear <02595> in sunder; he burneth <08313> the chariot <05699> in the fire < 0784>.

10 Be still <07503>, and know <03045> that I [am] God <0430>: I will be exalted <07311> among the heathen < 01471>, I will be exalted <07311> in the earth <0776>.

11 The LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> [is] with us; the God <0430> of Jacob <03290> [is] our refuge <04869>. Selah <05542>.

Psalms 47

1. To the chief Musician <05329>, A Psalm <04210> for the sons <01121> of Korah <07141>. O clap <08628> your hands <03709>, all <03605> ye people <05971>; shout <07321> unto God <0430> with the voice <06963> of triumph <07440>.

2 For the LORD <03068> most <05945> high < 05945> [is] terrible <03372>; [he is] a great <01419> King <04428> over <05921> all <03605> the earth <0776>.

3 He shall subdue <01696> the people <05971> under <08478> us, and the nations <03816> under <08478> our feet <07272>.

4 He shall choose <0977> our inheritance <05159> for us, the excellency <01347> of Jacob <03290> whom < 0834> he loved <0157>. Selah <05542>.

5. God <0430> is gone <05927> up with a shout < 08643>, the LORD <03068> with the sound <06963> of a trumpet <07782>.

6 Sing <02167> praises to God <0430>, sing < 02167> praises: sing <02167> praises unto our King <04428>, sing <02167> praises.

7 For God <0430> [is] the King <04428> of all < 03605> the earth <0776>: sing <02167> ye praises with understanding <07919>.

8 God <0430> reigneth <04427> over <05921> the heathen <01471>: God <0430> sitteth <03427> upon the throne <03678> of his holiness <06944>.

9 The princes <05081> of the people <05971> are gathered <0622> together <03162>, [even] the people < 05971> of the God <0430> of Abraham <085>: for the shields <04043> of the earth <0776> [belong] unto God <0430>: he is greatly <03966> exalted <05927>.

Psalms 48

1. A Song <07892> [and] Psalm <04210> for the sons <01121> of Korah <07141>. Great <01419> [is] the LORD <03068>, and greatly <03966> to be praised <01984> in the city <05892> of our God <0430>, [in] the mountain < 02022> of his holiness <06944>.

2 Beautiful <03303> for situation <05131>, the joy <04885> of the whole <03605> earth <0776>, [is] mount <02022> Zion <06726>, [on] the sides <03411> of the north <06828>, the city <07151> of the great <07227> King <04428>.

3 God <0430> is known <03045> in her palaces < 0759> for a refuge <04869>.

4 For, lo <02009>, the kings <04428> were assembled <03259>, they passed <05674> by together <03162>.

5 They saw <07200> [it, and] so <03651> they marvelled <08539>; they were troubled <0926>, [and] hasted < 02648> away.

6 Fear <07461> took hold <0270> upon them there < 08033>, [and] pain <02427>, as of a woman in travail <03205> .

7 Thou breakest <07665> the ships <0591> of Tarshish <08659> with an east <06921> wind <07307>.

8. As we have heard <08085>, so <03651> have we seen <07200> in the city <05892> of the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, in the city <05892> of our God <0430>: God < 0430> will establish <03559> it for ever <05769>. Selah < 05542>.

9 We have thought <01819> of thy lovingkindness < 02617>, O God <0430>, in the midst <07130> of thy temple <01964>.

10 According to thy name <08034>, O God <0430>, so <03651> [is] thy praise <08416> unto the ends <07099> of the earth <0776>: thy right <03225> hand <03225> is full <04390> of righteousness <06664>.

11 Let mount <02022> Zion <06726> rejoice < 08055>, let the daughters <01121> of Judah <03063> be glad <01528>, because <04616> of thy judgments <04941>.

12 Walk <05437> about <05439> Zion <06726>, and go <05362> round <05362> about <05439> her: tell < 05608> the towers <04026> thereof.

13 Mark <07896> ye well her bulwarks <02430>, consider <06448> her palaces <0759>; that ye may tell < 05608> [it] to the generation <01755> following <0314>.

14 For this <02088> God <0430> [is] our God < 0430> for ever <05769> and ever <05703>: he will be our guide <05090> [even] unto death <04192>.

Psalms 49

1. To the chief Musician <05329>, A Psalm <04210> for the sons <01121> of Korah <07141>. Hear <08085> this <02063>, all <03605> [ye] people <05971>; give ear < 0238>, all <03605> [ye] inhabitants <03427> of the world <02465>:

2 Both <01571> low <0120> and high <0376>, rich <06223> and poor <034>, together <03162>.

3 My mouth <06310> shall speak <01696> of wisdom <02454>; and the meditation <01900> of my heart <03820> [shall be] of understanding <08394>.

4 I will incline <05186> mine ear <0241> to a parable <04912>: I will open <06605> my dark <02420> saying <02420> upon the harp <03658>.

5 Wherefore <04100> should I fear <03372> in the days <03117> of evil <07451>, [when] the iniquity <05771> of my heels <06120> shall compass <05437> me about?

6. They that trust <0982> in their wealth <02428>, and boast <01984> themselves in the multitude <07230> of their riches <06239>;

7 None [of them] can by any means redeem <06299> his brother <0251>, nor <03808> give <05414> to God < 0430> a ransom <03724> for him:

8 (For the redemption <06306> of their soul <05315> [is] precious <03365>, and it ceaseth <02308> for ever < 05769>:)

9 That he should still <05750> live <02421> for ever <05331>, [and] not see <07200> corruption <07845>.

10 For he seeth <07200> [that] wise <02450> men die <04191>, likewise the fool <03684> and the brutish < 01197> person perish <06>, and leave <05800> their wealth <02428> to others <0312>.

11 Their inward <07130> thought [is, that] their houses <01004> [shall continue] for ever <05769>, [and] their dwelling <04908> places to all generations <01755>; they call <07121> [their] lands <0127> after their own names < 08034>.

12 Nevertheless man <0120> [being] in honour <03366> abideth <03885> not: he is like <04911> the beasts < 0929> [that] perish <01820>.

13 This <02088> their way <01870> [is] their folly <03689>: yet their posterity <0310> approve <07520> their sayings <06310>. Selah <05542>.

14 Like sheep <06629> they are laid <08371> in the grave <07585>; death <04194> shall feed <07462> on them; and the upright <03477> shall have dominion <07287> over them in the morning <01242>; and their beauty <06736> shall consume <01086> in the grave <07585> from their dwelling <02073>.

15. But God <0430> will redeem <06299> my soul < 05315> from the power <03027> of the grave <07585>: for he shall receive <03947> me. Selah <05542>.

16 Be not thou afraid <03372> when <03588> one < 0376> is made rich <06238>, when <03588> the glory < 03519> of his house <01004> is increased <07235>;

17 For when <03588> he dieth <04194> he shall carry <03947> nothing away: his glory <03519> shall not descend < 03381> after <0310> him.

18 Though <03588> while he lived <02416> he blessed <01288> his soul <05315>: and [men] will praise <03034> thee, when <03588> thou doest well <03190> to thyself.

19 He shall go <0935> to the generation <01755> of his fathers <01>; they shall never see <07200> light < 0216>.

20 Man <0120> [that is] in honour <03366>, and understandeth <0995> not, is like <04711> the beasts < 0929> [that] perish <01820>.

Psalms 50

1. A Psalm <04210> of Asaph <0623>. The mighty < 0410> God <0430>, [even] the LORD <03068>, hath spoken < 01696>, and called <07121> the earth <0776> from the rising <04217> of the sun <08121> unto the going <03996> down thereof.

2 Out of Zion <06726>, the perfection <04359> of beauty <03308>, God <0430> hath shined <03313>.

3 Our God <0430> shall come <0935>, and shall not keep silence <02790>: a fire <0784> shall devour <0398> before <06440> him, and it shall be very <03966> tempestuous <08175> round <05439> about him.

4 He shall call <07121> to the heavens <08064> from above <05921>, and to the earth <0776>, that he may judge < 01777> his people <02992>.

5 Gather <0622> my saints <02623> together unto me; those that have made <03772> a covenant <01285> with me by sacrifice <02077>.

6 And the heavens <08064> shall declare <05046> his righteousness <06664>: for God <0430> [is] judge <08199> himself <01931>. Selah <05542>.

7. Hear <08085>, O my people <05971>, and I will speak <01696>; O Israel <03478>, and I will testify < 05749> against thee: I [am] God <0430>, [even] thy God < 0430>.

8 I will not reprove <03198> thee for thy sacrifices < 02077> or thy burnt <05930> offerings, [to have been] continually <08548> before <05048> me.

9 I will take <03947> no <03808> bullock < 06499> out of thy house <01004>, [nor] he goats <06260> out of thy folds <04356>.

10 For every <03605> beast <02416> of the forest <03293> [is] mine, [and] the cattle <0929> upon a thousand < 0505> hills <02042>.

11 I know <03045> all <03605> the fowls < 05775> of the mountains <02022>: and the wild <02123> beasts <02123> of the field <07704> [are] mine <05978>.

12 If <0518> I were hungry <07456>, I would not tell <0559> thee: for the world <08398> [is] mine, and the fulness <04393> thereof.

13 Will I eat <0398> the flesh <01320> of bulls < 047>, or drink <08354> the blood <01818> of goats < 06260>?

14 Offer <02076> unto God <0430> thanksgiving < 08426>; and pay <07999> thy vows <05088> unto the most < 05945> High <05945>:

15 And call <07121> upon me in the day <03117> of trouble <06869>: I will deliver <02502> thee, and thou shalt glorify <03513> me.

16. But unto the wicked <07563> God <0430> saith < 0559>, What <04100> hast thou to do to declare <05608> my statutes <02706>, or [that] thou shouldest take <05375> my covenant <01285> in thy mouth <06310>?

17 Seeing thou hatest <08130> instruction <04148>, and castest <07993> my words <01697> behind <0310> thee.

18 When <0518> thou sawest <07200> a thief < 01590>, then thou consentedst <07521> with him, and hast been partaker <02506> with adulterers <05003>.

19 Thou givest <07971> thy mouth <06310> to evil <07451>, and thy tongue <03956> frameth <06775> deceit <04820>.

20 Thou sittest <03427> [and] speakest <01696> against thy brother <0251>; thou slanderest thine own mother's < 0517> son <01121>.

21 These <0428> [things] hast thou done <06213>, and I kept <02790> silence <02790>; thou thoughtest < 01819> that I was altogether [such an one] as thyself: [but] I will reprove <03198> thee, and set [them] in order <06186> before thine eyes <05869>.

22 Now <04994> consider <0995> this <02063>, ye that forget <07911> God <0433>, lest <06435> I tear <02963> [you] in pieces, and [there be] none <0369> to deliver <05337>.

23 Whoso offereth <02076> praise <08426> glorifieth <03513> me: and to him that ordereth <07760> [his] conversation <01870> [aright] will I shew <07200> the salvation <03468> of God <0430>.

Psalms 51

1. To the chief Musician <05329>, A Psalm <04210> of David <01732>, when Nathan <05416> the prophet <05030> came <0935> unto him, after he had gone <0935> in to Bathsheba <01339>. Have mercy <02603> upon me, O God <0430>, according to thy lovingkindness <02617>: according unto the multitude <07230> of thy tender mercies <07356> blot < 04229> out my transgressions <06588>.

2 Wash <03526> me throughly <07235> from mine iniquity <05771>, and cleanse <05352> me from my sin < 02403>.

3 For I acknowledge <03045> my transgressions < 06588>: and my sin <02403> [is] ever <08548> before < 05048> me.

4 Against thee, thee only <0905>, have I sinned < 02398>, and done <06213> [this] evil <07451> in thy sight <05869>: that thou mightest be justified <06663> when thou speakest <01696>, [and] be clear <02135> when thou judgest < 08199>.

5 Behold <02005>, I was shapen <02342> in iniquity <05771>; and in sin <02399> did my mother <0517> conceive <03179> me.

6 Behold <02005>, thou desirest <02654> truth < 0571> in the inward <02910> parts: and in the hidden <05640> [part] thou shalt make me to know <03045> wisdom <02451>.

7. Purge <02398> me with hyssop <0231>, and I shall be clean <02891>: wash <03526> me, and I shall be whiter < 03835> than snow <07950>.

8 Make me to hear <08085> joy <08342> and gladness <08057>; [that] the bones <06106> [which] thou hast broken < 01794> may rejoice <01523>.

9 Hide <05641> thy face <06440> from my sins < 02399>, and blot <04229> out all <03605> mine iniquities <05771>.

10 Create <01254> in me a clean <02889> heart < 03820>, O God <0430>; and renew <02318> a right < 03559> spirit <07307> within <07130> me.

11 Cast <07993> me not away from thy presence < 06440>; and take <03947> not thy holy <06944> spirit < 07307> from me.

12 Restore <07725> unto me the joy <08342> of thy salvation <03468>; and uphold <05564> me [with thy] free < 05082> spirit <07307>.

13 [Then] will I teach <03925> transgressors <06586> thy ways <01870>; and sinners <02400> shall be converted < 07725> unto thee.

14. Deliver <05337> me from bloodguiltiness <01818>, O God <0430>, thou God <0430> of my salvation <08668>: [and] my tongue <03956> shall sing <07442> aloud <07442> of thy righteousness <06666>.

15 O Lord <0136>, open <06605> thou my lips < 08193>; and my mouth <06310> shall shew <05046> forth thy praise <08416>.

16 For thou desirest <02654> not sacrifice <02077>; else would I give <05414> [it]: thou delightest <07521> not in burnt <05930> offering.

17 The sacrifices <02077> of God <0430> [are] a broken <07665> spirit <07307>: a broken <07665> and a contrite <01794> heart <03820>, O God <0430>, thou wilt not despise <0959>.

18 Do good <03190> in thy good pleasure <07522> unto Zion <06726>: build <01129> thou the walls <02346> of Jerusalem <03389>.

19 Then <0227> shalt thou be pleased <02654> with the sacrifices <02077> of righteousness <06664>, with burnt <05930> offering and whole <03632> burnt <05930> offering: then <0227> shall they offer <05927> bullocks < 06499> upon thine altar <04196>.

Psalms 52

1. To the chief Musician <05329>, Maschil <07919>, [A Psalm] of David <01732>, when Doeg <01673> the Edomite < 0130> came <0935> and told <05046> Saul <07586>, and said <0559> unto him, David <01732> is come <0935> to the house <01004> of Ahimelech <0288>. Why <04100> boastest <01984> thou thyself in mischief <07451>, O mighty <01368> man? the goodness <02617> of God <0410> [endureth] continually.

2 Thy tongue <03956> deviseth <02803> mischiefs < 01942>; like a sharp <03913> razor <08593>, working < 06213> deceitfully <07423>.

3 Thou lovest <0157> evil <07451> more than good <02896>; [and] lying <08267> rather than to speak <01696> righteousness <06664>. Selah <05542>.

4 Thou lovest <0157> all <03605> devouring < 01105> words <01697>, O [thou] deceitful <04820> tongue < 03956>.

5 God <0410> shall likewise <01571> destroy < 05422> thee for ever <05331>, he shall take <02846> thee away <02846>, and pluck <05255> thee out of [thy] dwelling < 0168> place, and root <08327> thee out of the land <0776> of the living <02416>. Selah <05542>.

6. The righteous <06662> also shall see <07200>, and fear <03372>, and shall laugh <07832> at <05921> him:

7 Lo <02009>, [this is] the man <01397> [that] made <07760> not God <0430> his strength <04581>; but trusted <0982> in the abundance <07230> of his riches <06239>, [and] strengthened <05810> himself in his wickedness <01942>.

8 But I [am] like a green <07488> olive <02132> tree in the house <01004> of God <0430>: I trust <0982> in the mercy <02617> of God <0430> for ever <05769> and ever <05703>.

9 I will praise <03034> thee for ever <05769>, because <03588> thou hast done <06213> [it]: and I will wait <06960> on thy name <08034>; for [it is] good <02896> before <05048> thy saints <02623>.

Psalms 53

1. To the chief Musician <05329> upon <05921> Mahalath <04257>, Maschil <07919>, [A Psalm] of David < 01732>. The fool <05036> hath said <0559> in his heart < 03820>, [There is] no <0369> God <0430>. Corrupt < 07843> are they, and have done abominable <08581> iniquity < 05766>: [there is] none <0369> that doeth <06213> good < 02896>.

2 God <0430> looked <08259> down from heaven < 08064> upon the children <01121> of men <0120>, to see < 07200> if there were [any] that did understand <07919>, that did seek <01875> God <0430>.

3 Every <03605> one of them is gone <05472> back <05472>: they are altogether <03162> become <0444> filthy <0444>; [there is] none <0369> that doeth <06213> good <02896>, no, not one <0259>.

4 Have the workers <06466> of iniquity <0205> no <03808> knowledge <03045>? who eat <0398> up my people <05971> [as] they eat <0398> bread <03899>: they have not called <07121> upon God <0430>.

5 There <08033> were they in great fear <06343>, [where] no <03808> fear <06343> was: for God <0430> hath scattered <06340> the bones <06106> of him that encampeth < 02583> [against] thee: thou hast put [them] to shame <0954>, because <03588> God <0430> hath despised <03988> them.

6 Oh that the salvation <03444> of Israel <03478> [were come] out of Zion <06726>! When God <0430> bringeth < 07725> back <07725> the captivity <07622> of his people < 05971>, Jacob <03290> shall rejoice <01523>, [and] Israel <03478> shall be glad <08056>.

Psalms 54

1. To the chief Musician <05329> on Neginoth <05058>, Maschil <07919>, [A Psalm] of David <01732>, when the Ziphims <02130> came <0935> and said <0559> to Saul <07586> , Doth not David <01732> hide <05640> himself with us? Save <03467> me, O God <0430>, by thy name <08034>, and judge <01777> me by thy strength <01369>.

2 Hear <08085> my prayer <08605>, O God <0430> ; give ear <0238> to the words <0561> of my mouth <06310> .

3 For strangers <02114> are risen <06965> up against <05921> me, and oppressors <06184> seek <01245> after my soul <05315>: they have not set <07760> God < 0430> before <05048> them. Selah <05542>.

4. Behold <02009>, God <0430> [is] mine helper < 05826>: the Lord <0136> [is] with them that uphold <05564> my soul <05315>.

5 He shall reward <07725> evil <07451> unto mine enemies <08324>: cut <06789> them off in thy truth <0571> .

6 I will freely <05071> sacrifice <02076> unto thee: I will praise <03034> thy name <08034>, O LORD <03068>; for [it is] good <02896>.

7 For he hath delivered <05337> me out of all < 03605> trouble <06869>: and mine eye <05869> hath seen < 07200> [his desire] upon mine enemies <0341>.

Psalms 55

1. To the chief Musician <05329> on Neginoth <05058>, Maschil <07919>, [A Psalm] of David <01732>. Give ear < 0238> to my prayer <08605>, O God <0430>; and hide < 05956> not thyself from my supplication <08467>.

2 Attend <07181> unto me, and hear <06030> me: I mourn <07300> in my complaint <07878>, and make a noise < 01949>;

3 Because of the voice <06963> of the enemy <0341>, because <06440> of the oppression <06125> of the wicked < 07563>: for they cast <04131> iniquity <0205> upon me, and in wrath <0639> they hate <07852> me.

4 My heart <03820> is sore pained <02342> within <07130> me: and the terrors <0367> of death <04194> are fallen <05307> upon me.

5 Fearfulness <03374> and trembling <07460> are come <0935> upon me, and horror <06427> hath overwhelmed < 03680> me.

6 And I said <0559>, Oh that I had wings <083> like a dove <03123>! [for then] would I fly <05774> away, and be at rest <07931>.

7 Lo <02009>, [then] would I wander <05074> far < 07368> off, [and] remain <03885> in the wilderness <04057>. Selah <05542>.

8 I would hasten <02363> my escape <04655> from the windy <07307> storm <05584> [and] tempest <05591>.

9. Destroy <01104>, O Lord <0136>, [and] divide < 06385> their tongues <03956>: for I have seen <07200> violence <02555> and strife <07379> in the city <05892>.

10 Day <03119> and night <03915> they go < 05437> about <05437> it upon the walls <02346> thereof: mischief <0205> also and sorrow <05999> [are] in the midst < 07130> of it.

11 Wickedness <01942> [is] in the midst <07130> thereof: deceit <08496> and guile <04820> depart <04185> not from her streets <07339>.

12 For [it was] not an enemy <0341> [that] reproached < 02778> me; then I could have borne <05375> [it]: neither < 03808> [was it] he that hated <08130> me [that] did magnify < 01431> [himself] against <05921> me; then I would have hid < 05641> myself from him:

13 But [it was] thou, a man <0582> mine equal < 06187>, my guide <0441>, and mine acquaintance <03045>.

14 We took sweet <04985> counsel <05475> together <03162>, [and] walked <01980> unto the house <01004> of God <0430> in company <07285>.

15 Let death <04194> seize <03451> upon them, [and] let them go <03381> down <03381> quick <02416> into hell <07585>: for wickedness <07451> [is] in their dwellings < 04033>, [and] among <07130> them.

16. As for me, I will call <07121> upon God <0430>; and the LORD <03068> shall save <03467> me.

17 Evening <06153>, and morning <01242>, and at noon <06672>, will I pray <07878>, and cry <01993> aloud <01993>: and he shall hear <08085> my voice <06963>.

18 He hath delivered <06299> my soul <05315> in peace <07965> from the battle <07128> [that was] against me: for there were many <07227> with me.

19 God <0410> shall hear <08085>, and afflict < 06031> them, even he that abideth <03427> of old <06924>. Selah <05542>. Because <0834> they have no <0369> changes <02487>, therefore they fear <03372> not God < 0430>.

20 He hath put <07971> forth <07971> his hands < 03027> against such as be at peace <07965> with him: he hath broken <02490> his covenant <01285>.

21 [The words] of his mouth <06310> were smoother < 02505> than butter <04260>, but war <07128> [was] in his heart <03820>: his words <01697> were softer <07401> than oil <08081>, yet [were] they drawn <06609> swords < 06609>.

22 Cast <07993> thy burden <03053> upon the LORD <03068>, and he shall sustain <03557> thee: he shall never suffer <05414> the righteous <06662> to be moved <04131>.

23 But thou, O God <0430>, shalt bring <03381> them down <03381> into the pit <0875> of destruction <07845>: bloody <01818> and deceitful <04820> men <0582> shall not live out half <02673> their days <03117>; but I will trust <0982> in thee.

Psalms 56

1. To the chief Musician <05329> upon Jonathelemrechokim <03128> <0482> <07350>, Michtam <04387> of David <01732>, when the Philistines <06430> took <0270> him in Gath <01661>. Be merciful <02603> unto me, O God <0430>: for man <0582> would swallow <07602> me up; he fighting < 03898> daily oppresseth <03905> me.

2 Mine enemies <08324> would daily swallow <07602> [me] up: for [they be] many <07227> that fight <03898> against me, O thou most <04971> High <04791>.

3 What time <03117> I am afraid <03372>, I will trust <0982> in thee.

4 In God <0430> I will praise <01984> his word < 01697>, in God <0430> I have put my trust <0982>; I will not fear <03372> what <04100> flesh <01320> can do < 06213> unto me.

5 Every <03605> day <03117> they wrest <06087> my words <01697>: all <03605> their thoughts <04284> [are] against <05921> me for evil <07451>.

6 They gather <01481> themselves together, they hide < 06845> themselves, they mark <08104> my steps <06119>, when <0834> they wait <06960> for my soul <05315>.

7 Shall they escape <06405> by iniquity <0205>? in [thine] anger <0639> cast <03381> down the people <05971> , O God <0430>.

8. Thou tellest <05608> my wanderings <05112>: put <05414> thou my tears <01832> into thy bottle <04997>: [are they] not in thy book <05612>?

9 When I cry <07121> [unto thee], then <0227> shall mine enemies <0341> turn <07725> back <0268>: this < 02088> I know <03045>; for God <0430> [is] for me.

10 In God <0430> will I praise <01984> [his] word <01697>: in the LORD <03068> will I praise <01984> [his] word <01697>.

11 In God <0430> have I put my trust <0982>: I will not be afraid <03372> what <04100> man <0120> can do < 06213> unto me.

12 Thy vows <05088> [are] upon me, O God <0430>: I will render <07999> praises <08426> unto thee.

13 For thou hast delivered <05337> my soul <05315> from death <04194>: [wilt] not [thou deliver <05337>] my feet <07272> from falling <01762>, that I may walk <01980> before <06440> God <0430> in the light <0216> of the living <02416>?

Psalms 57

1. To the chief Musician <05329>, Altaschith <0408> <07843>, Michtam <04387> of David <01732>, when he fled <01272> from Saul <06440> <07586> in the cave < 04631>. Be merciful <02603> unto me, O God <0430>, be merciful <02603> unto me: for my soul <05315> trusteth < 02620> in thee: yea, in the shadow <06738> of thy wings < 03671> will I make my refuge <02620>, until <05704> [these] calamities <01942> be overpast <05674>.

2 I will cry <07121> unto God <0430> most < 05945> high <05945>; unto God <0410> that performeth < 01584> [all things] for me.

3 He shall send <07971> from heaven <08064>, and save <03467> me [from] the reproach <02778> of him that would swallow <07602> me up. Selah <05542>. God <0430> shall send <07971> forth his mercy <02617> and his truth <0571> .

4 My soul <05315> [is] among <08432> lions < 03833>: [and] I lie <07901> [even among] them that are set on fire <03857>, [even] the sons <01121> of men <0120>, whose teeth <08127> [are] spears <02595> and arrows < 02671>, and their tongue <03956> a sharp <02299> sword < 02719>.

5 Be thou exalted <07311>, O God <0430>, above < 05921> the heavens <08064>; [let] thy glory <03519> [be] above <05921> all <03605> the earth <0776>.

6 They have prepared <03559> a net <07568> for my steps <06471>; my soul <05315> is bowed <03721> down: they have digged <03738> a pit <07882> before <06440> me, into the midst <08432> whereof they are fallen <05307> [themselves]. Selah <05542>.

7. My heart <03820> is fixed <03559>, O God < 0430>, my heart <03820> is fixed <03559>: I will sing < 07891> and give praise <02167>.

8 Awake <05782> up, my glory <03519>; awake < 05782>, psaltery <05035> and harp <03658>: I [myself] will awake <05782> early <07837>.

9 I will praise <03034> thee, O Lord <0136>, among the people <05971>: I will sing <02167> unto thee among the nations <03816>.

10 For thy mercy <02617> [is] great <01419> unto the heavens <08064>, and thy truth <0571> unto the clouds < 07834>.

11 Be thou exalted <07311>, O God <0430>, above < 05921> the heavens <08064>: [let] thy glory <03519> [be] above <05921> all <03605> the earth <0776>.

Psalms 58

1. To the chief Musician <05329>, Altaschith <0408> <07843>, Michtam <04387> of David <01732>. Do ye indeed <0552> speak <01696> righteousness <06664>, O congregation <0482>? do ye judge <08199> uprightly < 04339>, O ye sons <01121> of men <0120>?

2 Yea <0637>, in heart <03820> ye work <06466> wickedness <05766>; ye weigh <06424> the violence < 02555> of your hands <03027> in the earth <0776>.

3 The wicked <07563> are estranged <02114> from the womb <07358>: they go <08582> astray <08582> as soon as they be born <0990>, speaking <01696> lies <03576>.

4 Their poison <02534> [is] like <01823> the poison <02534> of a serpent <05175>: [they are] like <03644> the deaf <02795> adder <06620> [that] stoppeth <0331> her ear <0241>;

5 Which <0834> will not hearken <08085> to the voice <06963> of charmers <03907>, charming never so wisely <02449>.

6. Break <02040> their teeth <08127>, O God < 0430>, in their mouth <06310>: break <05422> out the great <04459> teeth <04973> of the young <03715> lions < 03715>, O LORD <03068>.

7 Let them melt <03988> away as waters <04325> [which] run <01980> continually: [when] he bendeth <01869> [his bow to shoot] his arrows <02671>, let them be as cut < 04135> in pieces.

8 As a snail <07642> [which] melteth <08557>, let [every one of them] pass <01980> away: [like] the untimely < 05309> birth <05309> of a woman <0802>, [that] they may not see <02372> the sun <08121>.

9 Before <02962> your pots <05518> can feel < 0995> the thorns <0329>, he shall take <08175> them away as with a whirlwind <08175>, both living <02416>, and in [his] wrath <02740>.

10 The righteous <06662> shall rejoice <08055> when <03588> he seeth <02372> the vengeance <05359>: he shall wash <07364> his feet <06471> in the blood <01818> of the wicked <07563>.

11 So that a man <0120> shall say <0559>, Verily <0389> [there is] a reward <06529> for the righteous < 06662>: verily <0389> he is a God <0430> that judgeth < 08199> in the earth <0776>.

Psalms 59

1. To the chief Musician <05329>, Altaschith <0408> <07843>, Michtam <04387> of David <01732>; when Saul < 07586> sent <07971>, and they watched <08104> the house < 01004> to kill him <04191>. Deliver <05337> me from mine enemies <0341>, O my God <0430>: defend <07682> me from them that rise <06965> up against me.

2 Deliver <05337> me from the workers <06466> of iniquity <0205>, and save <03467> me from bloody <01818> men <0582>.

3 For, lo <02009>, they lie in wait <0693> for my soul <05315>: the mighty <05794> are gathered <01481> against <05921> me; not [for] my transgression <06588>, nor <03808> [for] my sin <02403>, O LORD <03068>.

4 They run <07323> and prepare <03559> themselves without [my] fault <05771>: awake <05782> to help <07125> me, and behold <07200>.

5 Thou therefore, O LORD <03068> God <0430> of hosts <06635>, the God <0430> of Israel <03478>, awake <06974> to visit <06485> all <03605> the heathen < 01471>: be not merciful <02603> to any <03605> wicked < 0205> transgressors <0898>. Selah <05542>.

6 They return <07725> at evening <06153>: they make a noise <01993> like a dog <03611>, and go <05437> round <05437> about the city <05892>.

7 Behold <02009>, they belch <05042> out with their mouth <06310>: swords <02719> [are] in their lips <08193> : for who <04310>, [say they], doth hear <08085>?

8. But thou, O LORD <03068>, shalt laugh <07832> at them; thou shalt have all <03605> the heathen <01471> in derision <03932>.

9 [Because of] his strength <05797> will I wait < 08104> upon thee: for God <0430> [is] my defence <04869>.

10 The God <0430> of my mercy <02617> shall prevent <06923> me: God <0430> shall let me see <07200> [my desire] upon mine enemies <08324>.

11 Slay <02026> them not, lest <06435> my people <05971> forget <07911>: scatter <05128> them by thy power <02428>; and bring <03381> them down <03381>, O Lord <0136> our shield <04043>.

12 [For] the sin <02403> of their mouth <06310> [and] the words <01697> of their lips <08193> let them even be taken <03920> in their pride <01347>: and for cursing < 0423> and lying <03585> [which] they speak <05608>.

13 Consume <03615> [them] in wrath <02534>, consume <03615> [them], that they [may] not [be]: and let them know < 03045> that God <0430> ruleth <04910> in Jacob <03290> unto the ends <0657> of the earth <0776>. Selah <05542>.

14 And at evening <06153> let them return <07725>; [and] let them make a noise <01993> like a dog <03611>, and go <05437> round <05439> about the city <05892>.

15 Let them wander <05128> up and down for meat < 0398>, and grudge <03885> if <0518> they be not satisfied <07646>.

16 But I will sing <07891> of thy power <05797>; yea, I will sing <07442> aloud <07442> of thy mercy < 02617> in the morning <01242>: for thou hast been <01961> my defence <04869> and refuge <04498> in the day <03117> of my trouble <06862>.

17 Unto thee, O my strength <05797>, will I sing < 02167>: for God <0430> [is] my defence <04869>, [and] the God <0430> of my mercy <02617>.

Psalms 60

1. To the chief Musician <05329> upon <05921> Shushaneduth <07799> <05715>, Michtam <04387> of David <01732>, to teach <03925>; when he strove <05327> with Aramnaharaim <0763> <05104> and with Aramzobah <0758> <06678>, when Joab <03097> returned <07725>, and smote <05221> of Edom <0123> in the valley <01516> of salt < 04417> twelve <08147> thousand <06240> <0505>. O God <0430>, thou hast cast <02186> us off, thou hast scattered < 06555> us, thou hast been displeased <0599>; O turn <07725> thyself to us again <07725>.

2 Thou hast made the earth <0776> to tremble <07493> ; thou hast broken <06480> it: heal <07495> the breaches < 07667> thereof; for it shaketh <04131>.

3 Thou hast shewed thy people <05971> hard <07186> things: thou hast made us to drink <08248> the wine <03196> of astonishment <08653>.

4 Thou hast given <05414> a banner <05251> to them that fear <03373> thee, that it may be displayed <05127> because <06440> of the truth <07189>. Selah <05542>.

5 That thy beloved <03039> may be delivered <02502>; save <03467> [with] thy right <03225> hand <03225>, and hear <06030> me.

6. God <0430> hath spoken <01696> in his holiness <06944>; I will rejoice <05937>, I will divide <02505> Shechem <07927>, and mete <04058> out the valley <06010> of Succoth <05523>.

7 Gilead <01568> [is] mine, and Manasseh <04519> [is] mine; Ephraim <0669> also [is] the strength <04581> of mine head <07218>; Judah <03063> [is] my lawgiver <02710> ;

8 Moab <04124> [is] my washpot; over <05921> Edom <0123> will I cast <07993> out my shoe <05275>: Philistia <06429>, triumph <07321> thou because <05921> of me.

9 Who <04310> will bring <02986> me [into] the strong <04692> city <05892>? who <04310> will lead < 05148> me into <05704> Edom <0123>?

10 [Wilt] not thou, O God <0430>, [which] hadst cast < 02186> us off? and [thou], O God <0430>, [which] didst not go < 03318> out with our armies <06635>?

11 Give <03051> us help <05833> from trouble < 06862>: for vain <07723> [is] the help <08668> of man < 0120>.

12 Through God <0430> we shall do <06213> valiantly <02428>: for he [it is that] shall tread <0947> down our enemies <06862>.

Psalms 61

1. To the chief Musician <05329> upon Neginah <05058> , [A Psalm] of David <01732>. Hear <08085> my cry <07440> , O God <0430>; attend <07181> unto my prayer <08605>.

2 From the end <07097> of the earth <0776> will I cry <07121> unto thee, when my heart <03820> is overwhelmed <05848>: lead <05148> me to the rock <06697> [that] is higher <07311> than I.

3 For thou hast been <01961> a shelter <04268> for me, [and] a strong <05797> tower <04026> from the enemy < 0341>.

4 I will abide <01481> in thy tabernacle <0168> for ever <05769>: I will trust <02620> in the covert <05643> of thy wings <03671>. Selah <05542>.

5. For thou, O God <0430>, hast heard <08085> my vows <05088>: thou hast given <05414> [me] the heritage < 03425> of those that fear <03373> thy name <08034>.

6 Thou wilt prolong <03254> the king's <04428> life: [and] his years <08141> as many generations <01755>.

7 He shall abide <03427> before <06440> God < 0430> for ever <05769>: O prepare <04487> mercy < 02617> and truth <0571>, [which] may preserve <05341> him.

8 So <03651> will I sing <02167> praise unto thy name <08034> for ever <05703>, that I may daily <03117> perform <07999> my vows <05088>.

Psalms 62

1. To the chief Musician <05329>, to Jeduthun <03038> , A Psalm <04210> of David <01732>. Truly <0389> my soul <05315> waiteth <01747> upon God <0430>: from him [cometh] my salvation <03444>.

2 He only <0389> [is] my rock <06697> and my salvation <03444>; [he is] my defence <04869>; I shall not be greatly <07227> moved <04131>.

3 How <05704> long <05704> will ye imagine < 02050> mischief <0205> against <05921> a man <0376>? ye shall be slain <07523> all <03605> of you: as a bowing < 05186> wall <07023> [shall ye be, and as] a tottering < 01760> fence <01447>.

4 They only <0389> consult <03289> to cast < 05080> [him] down from his excellency <07613>: they delight < 07521> in lies <03576>: they bless <01288> with their mouth <06310>, but they curse <07043> inwardly <07130>. Selah <05542>.

5 My soul <05315>, wait <01826> thou only < 0389> upon God <0430>; for my expectation <08615> [is] from him.

6 He only <0389> [is] my rock <06697> and my salvation <03444>: [he is] my defence <04869>; I shall not be moved <04131>.

7 In God <0430> [is] my salvation <03468> and my glory <03519>: the rock <06697> of my strength <05797>, [and] my refuge <04268>, [is] in God <0430>.

8. Trust <0982> in him at all <03605> times < 06256>; [ye] people <05971>, pour <08210> out your heart <03824> before <06440> him: God <0430> [is] a refuge < 04268> for us. Selah <05542>.

9 Surely <0389> men of low degree [are] vanity < 01892>, [and] men <0376> of high <0376> degree [are] a lie <03576>: to be laid <05927> in the balance <03976>, they [are] altogether <03162> [lighter] than vanity <01892>.

10 Trust <0982> not in oppression <06233>, and become <01891> not vain <01891> in robbery <01498>: if riches <02428> increase <05107>, set <07896> not your heart <03820> [upon them].

11 God <0430> hath spoken <01696> once <0259>; twice <08147> have I heard <08085> this <02098>; that power <05797> [belongeth] unto God <0430>.

12 Also unto thee, O Lord <0136>, [belongeth] mercy < 02617>: for thou renderest <07999> to every man <0376> according to his work <04639>.

Psalms 63

1. A Psalm <04210> of David <01732>, when he was < 01961> in the wilderness <04057> of Judah <03063>. O God <0430>, thou [art] my God <0410>; early <07836> will I seek <07836> thee: my soul <05315> thirsteth <06770> for thee, my flesh <01320> longeth <03642> for thee in a dry < 06723> and thirsty land <0776>, where no <01097> water < 04325> is;

2 To see <07200> thy power <05797> and thy glory <03519>, so <03651> [as] I have seen <02372> thee in the sanctuary <06944>.

3. Because <03588> thy lovingkindness <02617> [is] better <02896> than life <02416>, my lips <08193> shall praise <07623> thee.

4 Thus <03651> will I bless <01288> thee while I live <02416>: I will lift <05375> up my hands <03709> in thy name <08034>.

5 My soul <05315> shall be satisfied <07646> as [with] marrow <02459> and fatness <01880>; and my mouth < 06310> shall praise <01984> [thee] with joyful <07445> lips <08193>:

6 When <0518> I remember <02142> thee upon my bed <03326>, [and] meditate <01897> on thee in the [night] watches <0821>.

7. Because <03588> thou hast been <01961> my help <05833>, therefore in the shadow <06738> of thy wings < 03671> will I rejoice <07442>.

8 My soul <05315> followeth <01692> hard < 01692> after <0310> thee: thy right <03225> hand < 03225> upholdeth <08551> me.

9 But those [that] seek <01245> my soul <05315>, to destroy <07722> [it], shall go <0935> into the lower < 08482> parts of the earth <0776>.

10 They shall fall <05064> by the sword <02719>: they shall be a portion <04521> for foxes <07776>.

11 But the king <04428> shall rejoice <08055> in God <0430>; every <03605> one that sweareth <07650> by him shall glory <01984>: but the mouth <06310> of them that speak <01696> lies <08267> shall be stopped <05534>.

Psalms 64

1. To the chief Musician <05329>, A Psalm <04210> of David <01732>. Hear <08085> my voice <06963>, O God < 0430>, in my prayer <07879>: preserve <05341> my life < 02416> from fear <06343> of the enemy <0341>.

2 Hide <05641> me from the secret <05475> counsel <05475> of the wicked <07489>; from the insurrection < 07285> of the workers <06466> of iniquity <0205>:

3 Who <0834> whet <08150> their tongue <03956> like a sword <02719>, [and] bend <01869> [their bows to shoot] their arrows <02671>, [even] bitter <04751> words < 01697>:

4 That they may shoot <03384> in secret <04565> at the perfect <08535>: suddenly <06597> do they shoot < 03384> at him, and fear <03372> not.

5 They encourage <02388> themselves [in] an evil < 07451> matter <01697>: they commune <05608> of laying < 02934> snares <04170> privily <02934>; they say <0559> , Who <04310> shall see <07200> them?

6 They search <02664> out iniquities <05766>; they accomplish <08552> a diligent search <02665>: both the inward <07130> [thought] of every <0376> one <0376> [of them], and the heart <03820>, [is] deep <06013>.

7. But God <0430> shall shoot <03384> at them [with] an arrow <02671>; suddenly <06597> shall they be wounded < 04347>.

8 So they shall make their own tongue <03956> to fall < 03782> upon themselves: all <03605> that see <07200> them shall flee <05074> away.

9 And all <03605> men <0120> shall fear < 03372>, and shall declare <05046> the work <06467> of God <0430>; for they shall wisely <07919> consider <07919> of his doing <04640>.

10 The righteous <06662> shall be glad <08056> in the LORD <03068>, and shall trust <02620> in him; and all < 03605> the upright <03477> in heart <03820> shall glory < 01984>.

Psalms 65

1. To the chief Musician <05329>, A Psalm <04210> [and] Song <07892> of David <01732>. Praise <08416> waiteth <01747> for thee, O God <0430>, in Sion <06726>: and unto thee shall the vow <05088> be performed <07999>.

2 O thou that hearest <08085> prayer <08605>, unto thee shall all <03605> flesh <01320> come <0935>.

3 Iniquities prevail <01396> against me: [as for] our transgressions <06588>, thou shalt purge <03722> them away.

4 Blessed <0835> [is the man whom] thou choosest < 0977>, and causest to approach <07126> [unto thee, that] he may dwell <07931> in thy courts <02691>: we shall be satisfied < 07646> with the goodness <02898> of thy house <01004>, [even] of thy holy <06918> temple <01964>.

5 [By] terrible <03372> things in righteousness < 06664> wilt thou answer <06030> us, O God <0430> of our salvation <03468>; [who art] the confidence <04009> of all < 03605> the ends <07099> of the earth <0776>, and of them that are afar <07350> off [upon] the sea <03220>:

6. Which by his strength <03581> setteth <03559> fast the mountains <02022>; [being] girded <0247> with power <01369>:

7 Which stilleth <07623> the noise <07588> of the seas <03220>, the noise <07588> of their waves <01530>, and the tumult <01995> of the people <03816>.

8 They also that dwell <03427> in the uttermost < 07098> parts are afraid <03372> at thy tokens <0226>: thou makest the outgoings <04161> of the morning <01242> and evening <06153> to rejoice <07442>.

9 Thou visitest <06485> the earth <0776>, and waterest <07783> it: thou greatly <07227> enrichest < 06238> it with the river <05104> of God <0430>, [which] is full <04390> of water <04325>: thou preparest <03559> them corn <01715>, when thou hast so <03651> provided < 03559> for it.

10 Thou waterest <07301> the ridges <08525> thereof abundantly <07301>: thou settlest <05181> the furrows < 01417> thereof: thou makest it soft <04127> with showers < 07241>: thou blessest <01288> the springing <06780> thereof.

11 Thou crownest <05849> the year <08141> with thy goodness <02896>; and thy paths <04570> drop <07491> fatness <01880>.

12 They drop <07491> [upon] the pastures <04999> of the wilderness <04057>: and the little hills <01389> rejoice <01524> on every side <02296>.

13 The pastures <03733> are clothed <03847> with flocks <06629>; the valleys <06010> also are covered < 05848> over <05948> with corn <01250>; they shout < 07321> for joy, they also <0637> sing <07891>.

Psalms 66

1. To the chief Musician <05329>, A Song <07892> [or] Psalm <04210>. Make a joyful <07321> noise <07321> unto God <0430>, all <03605> ye lands <0776>:

2 Sing <02167> forth the honour <03519> of his name <08034>: make <07760> his praise <08416> glorious < 03519>.

3 Say <0559> unto God <0430>, How <04100> terrible <03372> [art thou in] thy works <04639>! through the greatness <07230> of thy power <05797> shall thine enemies < 0341> submit <03584> themselves unto thee.

4 All <03605> the earth <0776> shall worship < 07812> thee, and shall sing <02167> unto thee; they shall sing <02167> [to] thy name <08034>. Selah <05542>.

5 Come <03212> and see <07200> the works < 04659> of God <0430>: [he is] terrible <03372> [in his] doing <05949> toward <05921> the children <01121> of men <0120>.

6 He turned <02015> the sea <03220> into dry < 03004> [land <0776>]: they went <05674> through the flood <05104> on foot <07272>: there <08033> did we rejoice <08055> in him.

7 He ruleth <04910> by his power <01369> for ever <05769>; his eyes <05869> behold <06822> the nations < 01471>: let not the rebellious <05637> exalt <07311> themselves. Selah <05542>.

8. O bless <01288> our God <0430>, ye people < 05971>, and make the voice <06963> of his praise <08416> to be heard <08085>:

9 Which holdeth <07760> our soul <05315> in life <02416>, and suffereth <05414> not our feet <07373> to be moved <04132>.

10 For thou, O God <0430>, hast proved <0974> us: thou hast tried <06884> us, as silver <03701> is tried < 06884>.

11 Thou broughtest <0935> us into the net <04685>; thou laidst <07760> affliction <04157> upon our loins < 04975>.

12 Thou hast caused men <0582> to ride <07392> over our heads <07218>; we went <0935> through fire <0784> and through water <04325>: but thou broughtest <03318> us out into a wealthy <07310> [place].

13. I will go <0935> into thy house <01004> with burnt <05930> offerings: I will pay <07999> thee my vows < 05088>,

14 Which <0834> my lips <08193> have uttered < 04475>, and my mouth <06310> hath spoken <01696>, when I was in trouble <06862>.

15 I will offer <05927> unto thee burnt <05930> sacrifices of fatlings <04220>, with the incense <07004> of rams <0352>; I will offer <06213> bullocks <01241> with goats <06260>. Selah <05542>.

16 Come <03212> [and] hear, all <03605> ye that fear <03373> God <0430>, and I will declare <05608> what <0834> he hath done <06213> for my soul <05315>.

17 I cried <07121> unto him with my mouth <06310>, and he was extolled <07318> with my tongue <03956>.

18 If <0518> I regard <07200> iniquity <0205> in my heart <03820>, the Lord <0136> will not hear < 08085> [me]:

19 [But] verily <0403> God <0430> hath heard < 08085> [me]; he hath attended <07181> to the voice <06963> of my prayer <08605>.

20 Blessed <01288> [be] God <0430>, which < 0834> hath not turned <05493> away my prayer <08605>, nor his mercy <02617> from me.

Psalms 67

1. To the chief Musician <05329> on Neginoth <05058>, A Psalm <04210> [or] Song <07892>. God <0430> be merciful <02603> unto us, and bless <01288> us; [and] cause his face <06440> to shine <0215> upon us; Selah <05542>.

2 That thy way <01870> may be known <03045> upon earth <0776>, thy saving <03444> health among all <03605> nations <01471>.

3 Let the people <05971> praise <03034> thee, O God <0430>; let all <03605> the people <05971> praise < 03034> thee.

4 O let the nations <03816> be glad <08056> and sing <07442> for joy: for thou shalt judge <08199> the people <05971> righteously <04334>, and govern <05148> the nations <03816> upon earth <0776>. Selah <05542>.

5 Let the people <05971> praise <03034> thee, O God <0430>; let all <03605> the people <05971> praise < 03034> thee.

6 [Then] shall the earth <0776> yield <05414> her increase <02981>; [and] God <0430>, [even] our own God < 0430>, shall bless <01288> us.

7 God <0430> shall bless <01288> us; and all < 03605> the ends <0657> of the earth <0776> shall fear < 03372> him.

Psalms 68

1. To the chief Musician <05329>, A Psalm <04210> [or] Song <07892> of David <01732>. Let God <0430> arise <06965>, let his enemies <0341> be scattered <06327>: let them also that hate <08130> him flee <05127> before < 06440> him.

2 As smoke <06227> is driven <05086> away, [so] drive <05086> [them] away: as wax <01749> melteth <04549> before <06440> the fire <0784>, [so] let the wicked < 07563> perish <06> at the presence <06440> of God < 0430>.

3 But let the righteous <06662> be glad <08056>; let them rejoice <05970> before <06440> God <0430>: yea, let them exceedingly <08057> rejoice <07797>.

4 Sing <07891> unto God <0430>, sing <02167> praises to his name <08034>: extol <05549> him that rideth < 07392> upon the heavens <06160> by his name <08034> JAH < 03050>, and rejoice <05937> before <06440> him.

5 A father <01> of the fatherless <03490>, and a judge <01781> of the widows <0490>, [is] God <0430> in his holy <06944> habitation <04583>.

6 God <0430> setteth <03427> the solitary < 03173> in families <01004>: he bringeth <03318> out those which are bound <0615> with chains <03574>: but the rebellious <05637> dwell <07931> in a dry <06707> [land].

7. O God <0430>, when thou wentest <03318> forth < 03318> before <06440> thy people <05971>, when thou didst march <06805> through the wilderness <03452>; Selah < 05542>:

8 The earth <0776> shook <07493>, the heavens < 08064> also <0637> dropped <05197> at the presence < 06440> of God <0430>: [even] Sinai <05514> itself < 02088> [was moved] at the presence <06440> of God <0430>, the God <0430> of Israel <03478>.

9 Thou, O God <0430>, didst send <05130> a plentiful <05071> rain <01653>, whereby thou didst confirm < 03559> thine inheritance <05159>, when it was weary <03811>.

10 Thy congregation <02416> hath dwelt <03427> therein: thou, O God <0430>, hast prepared <03559> of thy goodness <02896> for the poor <06041>.

11 The Lord <0136> gave <05414> the word < 0562>: great <07227> [was] the company <06635> of those that published <01319> [it].

12 Kings <04428> of armies <06635> did flee < 05074> apace: and she that tarried <05116> at home <01004> divided <02505> the spoil <07998>.

13 Though <0518> ye have lien <07901> among < 0996> the pots <08240>, [yet shall ye be as] the wings < 03671> of a dove <03123> covered <02645> with silver < 03701>, and her feathers <084> with yellow <03422> gold < 02742>.

14 When the Almighty <07706> scattered <06566> kings <04428> in it, it was [white] as snow <07949> in Salmon <06756>.

15. The hill <02022> of God <0430> [is as] the hill <02022> of Bashan <01316>; an high <01386> hill < 02022> [as] the hill <02022> of Bashan <01316>.

16 Why <04100> leap <07520> ye, ye high < 01386> hills <02022>? [this is] the hill <02022> [which] God <0430> desireth <02530> to dwell <03427> in; yea < 0637>, the LORD <03068> will dwell <07931> [in it] for ever <05331>.

17 The chariots <07393> of God <0430> [are] twenty <07239> thousand <07239>, [even] thousands <0505> of angels <08136>: the Lord <0136> [is] among them, [as in] Sinai <05514>, in the holy <06944> [place].

18 Thou hast ascended <05927> on high <04791>, thou hast led captivity <07628> captive <07617>: thou hast received <03947> gifts <04979> for men <0120>; yea <0637>, [for] the rebellious <05637> also <0637>, that the LORD < 0136> God <0430> might dwell <07931> [among them].

19 Blessed <01288> [be] the Lord <0136>, [who] daily <03117> loadeth <06006> us [with benefits, even] the God <0410> of our salvation <03444>. Selah <05542>.

20 [He that is] our God <0410> [is] the God <0410> of salvation <04190>; and unto GOD <03069> the Lord < 0136> [belong] the issues <08444> from death <04194>.

21 But God <0430> shall wound <04272> the head < 07218> of his enemies <0341>, [and] the hairy <08181> scalp <06936> of such an one as goeth <01980> on still in his trespasses <0817>.

22. The Lord <0136> said <0559>, I will bring < 07725> again <07725> from Bashan <01316>, I will bring < 07725> [my people] again <07725> from the depths <04688> of the sea <03220>:

23 That thy foot <07272> may be dipped <04272> in the blood <01818> of [thine] enemies <0341>, [and] the tongue <03956> of thy dogs <03611> in the same.

24 They have seen <07200> thy goings <01979>, O God <0430>; [even] the goings <01979> of my God <0410>, my King <04428>, in the sanctuary <06944>.

25 The singers <07891> went <06923> before < 06924>, the players <05059> on instruments [followed] after < 0310>; among <08432> [them were] the damsels <05959> playing with timbrels <08608>.

26 Bless <01288> ye God <0430> in the congregations <04721>, [even] the Lord <0136>, from the fountain < 04726> of Israel <03478>.

27 There <08033> [is] little <06810> Benjamin < 01144> [with] their ruler <07287>, the princes <08269> of Judah <03063> [and] their council <07277>, the princes < 08269> of Zebulun <02074>, [and] the princes <08269> of Naphtali <05321>.

28 Thy God <0430> hath commanded <06680> thy strength <05797>: strengthen <05810>, O God <0430>, that which <02098> thou hast wrought <06466> for us.

29 Because of thy temple <01964> at <05921> Jerusalem <03389> shall kings <04428> bring <02986> presents <07862> unto thee.

30 Rebuke <01605> the company <02416> of spearmen <07070>, the multitude <05712> of the bulls <047>, with the calves <05695> of the people <05971>, [till every one] submit <07511> himself with pieces <07518> of silver < 03701>: scatter <0967> thou the people <05971> [that] delight <02654> in war <07128>.

31 Princes <02831> shall come <0857> out of Egypt <04714>; Ethiopia <03568> shall soon <07323> stretch < 07323> out her hands <03027> unto God <0430>.

32. Sing <07891> unto God <0430>, ye kingdoms < 04467> of the earth <0776>; O sing <02167> praises unto the Lord <0136>; Selah <05542>:

33 To him that rideth <07392> upon the heavens < 08064> of heavens <08064>, [which were] of old <06924>; lo <02005>, he doth send <05414> out his voice <06963>, [and that] a mighty <05797> voice <06963>.

34 Ascribe <05414> ye strength <05797> unto God < 0430>: his excellency <01346> [is] over <05921> Israel < 03478>, and his strength <05797> [is] in the clouds <07834>.

35 O God <0430>, [thou art] terrible <03372> out of thy holy <04720> places: the God <0410> of Israel <03478> [is] he that giveth <05414> strength <05797> and power < 08592> unto [his] people <05971>. Blessed <01288> [be] God <0430>.

Psalms 69

1. To the chief Musician <05329> upon Shoshannim < 07999>, [A Psalm] of David <01732>. Save <03467> me, O God <0430>; for the waters <04325> are come <0935> in unto [my] soul <05315>.

2 I sink <02883> in deep <04688> mire <03121>, where [there is] no <0369> standing <04613>: I am come < 0935> into deep <04615> waters <04325>, where the floods <07641> overflow <07857> me.

3 I am weary <03021> of my crying <07121>: my throat <01627> is dried <02787>: mine eyes <05869> fail <03615> while I wait <03176> for my God <0430>.

4 They that hate <08130> me without <02600> a cause <02600> are more <07231> than the hairs <08185> of mine head <07218>: they that would destroy <06789> me, [being] mine enemies <0341> wrongfully <08267>, are mighty <05105>: then <0227> I restored <07725> [that] which <0834> I took <01497> not away <01497>.

5 O God <0430>, thou knowest <03045> my foolishness <0200>; and my sins <0819> are not hid <03582> from thee.

6 Let not them that wait <06960> on thee, O Lord < 0136> GOD <03069> of hosts <06635>, be ashamed <0954> for my sake: let not those that seek <01245> thee be confounded < 03637> for my sake, O God <0430> of Israel <03478>.

7 Because <03588> for thy sake <04616> I have borne <05375> reproach <02781>; shame <03639> hath covered < 03680> my face <06440>.

8 I am become <01961> a stranger <02114> unto my brethren <0251>, and an alien <05237> unto my mother's < 0517> children <01121>.

9 For the zeal <07068> of thine house <01004> hath eaten <0398> me up; and the reproaches <02781> of them that reproached <02778> thee are fallen <05307> upon me.

10 When I wept <01058>, [and chastened] my soul < 05315> with fasting <06685>, that was to my reproach <02781> .

11 I made <05414> sackcloth <08242> also my garment <03830>; and I became <01961> a proverb <04912> to them.

12 They that sit <03427> in the gate <08179> speak <07878> against me; and I [was] the song <05058> of the drunkards.

13. But as for me, my prayer <08605> [is] unto thee, O LORD <03068>, [in] an acceptable <07522> time <06256>: O God <0430>, in the multitude <07230> of thy mercy <02617> hear <06030> me, in the truth <0571> of thy salvation < 03468>.

14 Deliver <05337> me out of the mire <02916>, and let me not sink <02883>: let me be delivered <05337> from them that hate <08130> me, and out of the deep <04615> waters < 04325>.

15 Let not the waterflood overflow <07857> me, neither <0408> let the deep <04688> swallow <01104> me up, and let not the pit <0875> shut <0332> her mouth <06310> upon me.

16 Hear <06030> me, O LORD <03068>; for thy lovingkindness <02617> [is] good <02896>: turn <06437> unto me according to the multitude <07230> of thy tender mercies < 07356>.

17 And hide <05641> not thy face <06440> from thy servant <05650>; for I am in trouble <06887>: hear < 06030> me speedily <04118>.

18 Draw nigh <07126> unto my soul <05315>, [and] redeem <01350> it: deliver <06299> me because <04616> of mine enemies <0341>.

19 Thou hast known <03045> my reproach <02781>, and my shame <01322>, and my dishonour <03639>: mine adversaries <06887> [are] all <03605> before <06440> thee.

20 Reproach <02781> hath broken <07665> my heart <03820>; and I am full of heaviness <05136>: and I looked < 06960> [for some] to take pity <05110>, but [there was] none < 0369>; and for comforters <05162>, but I found <04672> none <03808>.

21 They gave <05414> me also gall <07219> for my meat <01267>; and in my thirst <06772> they gave me vinegar <02558> to drink <08248>.

22. Let their table <07979> become <01961> a snare <06341> before <06440> them: and [that which should have been] for [their] welfare <07965>, [let it become] a trap <04170>.

23 Let their eyes <05869> be darkened <02821>, that they see <07200> not; and make their loins <04975> continually <08548> to shake <04571>.

24 Pour <08210> out thine indignation <02195> upon them, and let thy wrathful <02740> anger <0639> take < 05381> hold <05381> of them.

25 Let their habitation <02918> be desolate <08074>; [and] let none <0408> dwell <03427> in their tents < 0168>.

26 For they persecute <07291> [him] whom <0834> thou hast smitten <05221>; and they talk <05608> to the grief <04341> of those whom thou hast wounded <02491>.

27 Add <05414> iniquity <05771> unto their iniquity <05771>: and let them not come <0935> into thy righteousness <06666>.

28 Let them be blotted <04229> out of the book < 05612> of the living <02416>, and not be written <03789> with the righteous <06662>.

29 But I [am] poor <06041> and sorrowful <03510>: let thy salvation <03444>, O God <0430>, set me up on high < 07682>.

30. I will praise <01984> the name <08034> of God <0430> with a song <07892>, and will magnify <01431> him with thanksgiving <08426>.

31 [This] also shall please <03190> the LORD <03068> better <03190> than an ox <07794> [or] bullock <06499> that hath horns <07160> and hoofs <06536>.

32 The humble <06041> shall see <07200> [this, and] be glad <08056>: and your heart <03824> shall live < 02421> that seek <01875> God <0430>.

33 For the LORD <03068> heareth <08085> the poor <034>, and despiseth <0959> not his prisoners <0615>.

34 Let the heaven <08064> and earth <0776> praise <01984> him, the seas <03220>, and every <03605> thing that moveth <07430> therein.

35 For God <0430> will save <03467> Zion < 06726>, and will build <01129> the cities <05892> of Judah <03063>: that they may dwell <03427> there, and have it in possession <03423>.

36 The seed <02233> also of his servants <05650> shall inherit <05157> it: and they that love <0157> his name <08034> shall dwell <07931> therein.

Psalms 70

1. To the chief Musician <05329>, [A Psalm] of David < 01732>, to bring to remembrance <02142>. [Make haste], O God < 0430>, to deliver <05337> me; make haste <02363> to help <05833> me, O LORD <03068>.

2 Let them be ashamed <0954> and confounded <02659> that seek <01245> after my soul <05315>: let them be turned <05472> backward <0268>, and put to confusion <03637>, that desire <02655> my hurt <07451>.

3 Let them be turned <07725> back <07725> for a reward <06118> of their shame <01322> that say <0559>, Aha <0253>, aha <0253>.

4 Let all <03605> those that seek <01245> thee rejoice <07797> and be glad <08056> in thee: and let such as love <0157> thy salvation <03444> say <0559> continually <08548>, Let God <0430> be magnified <01431>.

5 But I [am] poor <06041> and needy <034>: make haste <02363> unto me, O God <0430>: thou [art] my help < 05828> and my deliverer <06403>; O LORD <03068>, make no <0408> tarrying <0309>.

Psalms 71

1. In thee, O LORD <03068>, do I put my trust <02620> : let <03381> me never be put to confusion <0954>.

2 Deliver <05337> me in thy righteousness <06666>, and cause me to escape <06403>: incline <05186> thine ear < 0241> unto me, and save <03467> me.

3 Be thou my strong <06697> habitation <04583>, whereunto I may continually <08548> resort <0935>: thou hast given commandment <06680> to save <03467> me; for thou [art] my rock <05553> and my fortress <04686>.

4 Deliver <06403> me, O my God <0430>, out of the hand <03027> of the wicked <07563>, out of the hand < 03709> of the unrighteous <05765> and cruel <02556> man.

5 For thou [art] my hope <08615>, O Lord <0136> GOD <03069>: [thou art] my trust <04004> from my youth < 05271>.

6 By thee have I been <01961> holden <05564> up from the womb <0990>: thou art he that took <01491> me out of my mother's <0517> bowels <04578>: my praise <08416> [shall be] continually <08548> of thee.

7 I am as a wonder <04159> unto many <07227>; but thou [art] my strong <05797> refuge <04268>.

8 Let my mouth <06310> be filled <04390> [with] thy praise <08416> [and with] thy honour <08597> all <03605> the day <03117>.

9 Cast <07993> me not off in the time <06256> of old <02209> age; forsake <05800> me not when my strength < 03581> faileth <03615>.

10 For mine enemies <0341> speak <0559> against me; and they that lay wait <08104> for my soul <05315> take counsel <03289> together <03162>,

11 Saying <0559>, God <0430> hath forsaken < 05800> him: persecute <07291> and take <08610> him; for [there is] none <0369> to deliver <05337> [him].

12 O God <0430>, be not far <07368> from me: O my God <0430>, make haste <02439> for my help <05833>.

13 Let them be confounded <0954> [and] consumed < 03615> that are adversaries <07853> to my soul <05315>; let them be covered <05844> [with] reproach <02781> and dishonour <03639> that seek <01245> my hurt <07451>.

14. But I will hope <03176> continually <08548>, and will yet praise <08416> thee more <03254> and more < 03254>.

15 My mouth <06310> shall shew <05608> forth thy righteousness <06666> [and] thy salvation <08668> all < 03605> the day <03117>; for I know <03045> not the numbers <05615> [thereof].

16 I will go <0935> in the strength <01369> of the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>: I will make mention <02142> of thy righteousness <06666>, [even] of thine only <0905>.

17 O God <0430>, thou hast taught <03925> me from my youth <05271>: and hitherto <02008> have I declared < 05046> thy wondrous <06381> works.

18 Now also <01571> when <05704> I am old < 02209> and grayheaded <07872>, O God <0430>, forsake < 05800> me not; until <05704> I have shewed <05046> thy strength <02220> unto [this] generation <01755>, [and] thy power <01369> to every <03605> one [that] is to come < 0935>.

19 Thy righteousness <06666> also, O God <0430>, [is] very <05704> high <04791>, who <0834> hast done < 06213> great <01419> things: O God <0430>, who <04310> [is] like <03644> unto thee!

20 [Thou], which <0834> hast shewed <07200> me great <07229> and sore <07451> troubles <06869>, shalt quicken <02421> me again <07725>, and shalt bring <05927> me up again <07725> from the depths <08415> of the earth < 0776>.

21 Thou shalt increase <07235> my greatness <01420>, and comfort <05162> me on every <05437> side <05437>.

22 I will also <01571> praise <03034> thee with the psaltery <03627>, [even] thy truth <0571>, O my God < 0430>: unto thee will I sing <02167> with the harp <03658>, O thou Holy <06918> One of Israel <03478>.

23 My lips <08193> shall greatly rejoice <07442> when <03588> I sing <02167> unto thee; and my soul < 05315>, which <0834> thou hast redeemed <06299>.

24 My tongue <03956> also <01571> shall talk < 01897> of thy righteousness <06666> all <03605> the day < 03117> long: for they are confounded <0954>, for they are brought <02659> unto shame <02659>, that seek <01245> my hurt <07451>.

Psalms 72

1. [A Psalm] for Solomon <08010>. Give <05414> the king <04428> thy judgments <04941>, O God <0430>, and thy righteousness <06666> unto the king's <04428> son < 01121>.

2. He shall judge <01777> thy people <05971> with righteousness <06664>, and thy poor <06041> with judgment < 04941>.

3 The mountains <02022> shall bring <05375> peace <07965> to the people <05971>, and the little hills < 01389>, by righteousness <06666>.

4 He shall judge <08199> the poor <06041> of the people <05971>, he shall save <03467> the children < 01121> of the needy <034>, and shall break <01792> in pieces the oppressor <06231>.

5 They shall fear <03372> thee as long <05973> as the sun <08121> and moon <03394> endure <06440>, throughout all generations <01755>.

6 He shall come <03381> down <03381> like rain < 04306> upon the mown <01488> grass: as showers <07241> [that] water <02222> the earth <0776>.

7 In his days <03117> shall the righteous <06662> flourish <06524>; and abundance <07230> of peace <07965> so <05704> long <05704> as the moon <03394> endureth < 01097>.

8 He shall have dominion <07287> also from sea < 03220> to sea <03220>, and from the river <05104> unto the ends <0657> of the earth <0776>.

9 They that dwell in the wilderness <06728> shall bow < 03766> before <06440> him; and his enemies <0341> shall lick <03897> the dust <06083>.

10 The kings <04428> of Tarshish <08659> and of the isles <0339> shall bring <07725> presents <04503>: the kings <04428> of Sheba <07614> and Seba <05434> shall offer <07126> gifts <0814>.

11 Yea, all <03605> kings <04428> shall fall < 07812> down <07812> before him: all <03605> nations < 01471> shall serve <05647> him.

12 For he shall deliver <05337> the needy <034> when he crieth <07768>; the poor <06041> also, and [him] that hath no <0369> helper <05826>.

13 He shall spare <02347> the poor <01800> and needy <034>, and shall save <03467> the souls <05315> of the needy <034>.

14 He shall redeem <01350> their soul <05315> from deceit <08496> and violence <02555>: and precious <03365> shall their blood <01818> be in his sight <05869>.

15 And he shall live <02421>, and to him shall be given <05414> of the gold <02091> of Sheba <07614>: prayer < 06419> also shall be made for him continually <08548>; [and] daily shall he be praised <01288>.

16 There shall be an handful <06451> of corn <01250> in the earth <0776> upon the top <07218> of the mountains < 02022>; the fruit <06529> thereof shall shake <07493> like Lebanon <03844>: and [they] of the city <05892> shall flourish <06692> like grass <06212> of the earth <0776>.

17 His name <08034> shall endure <01961> for ever <05769>: his name <08034> shall be continued <05125> as long <06440> as the sun <08121>: and [men] shall be blessed <01288> in him: all <03605> nations <01471> shall call <0833> him blessed <0833>.

18. Blessed <01288> [be] the LORD <03068> God < 0430>, the God <0430> of Israel <03478>, who only < 0905> doeth <06213> wondrous <06381> things.

19 And blessed <01288> [be] his glorious <03519> name <08034> for ever <05769>: and let the whole earth < 0776> be filled <04390> [with] his glory <03519>; Amen < 0543>, and Amen <0543>.

20 The prayers <08605> of David <01732> the son < 01121> of Jesse <03448> are ended <03615>.

Psalms 73

1. A Psalm <04210> of Asaph <0623>. Truly < 0389> God <0430> [is] good <02896> to Israel <03478>, [even] to such as are of a clean <01249> heart <03824>.

2 But as for me, my feet <07373> were almost <04592> gone <05186>; my steps <0838> had well <0369> nigh < 04952> slipped <08210>.

3 For I was envious <07065> at the foolish <01984>, [when] I saw <07200> the prosperity <07965> of the wicked < 07563>.

4 For [there are] no <0369> bands <02784> in their death <04194>: but their strength <0193> [is] firm < 01277>.

5 They [are] not in trouble <05999> [as other] men < 0582>; neither <03808> are they plagued <05060> like < 05973> [other] men <0120>.

6 Therefore pride <01346> compasseth <06059> them about as a chain <06059>; violence <02555> covereth < 05848> them [as] a garment <07897>.

7 Their eyes <05869> stand <03318> out with fatness <02459>: they have more <05674> than heart <03824> could wish <04906>.

8 They are corrupt <04167>, and speak <01696> wickedly <07451> [concerning] oppression <06233>: they speak <01696> loftily <04791>.

9 They set <08371> their mouth <06310> against the heavens <08064>, and their tongue <03956> walketh <01980> through the earth <0776>.

10 Therefore <03651> his people <05971> return < 07725> hither <01988>: and waters <04325> of a full < 04392> [cup] are wrung <04680> out to them.

11 And they say <0559>, How <0349> doth God < 04010> know <03045>? and is there knowledge <01844> in the most <05945> High <05945>?

12 Behold <02009>, these <0428> [are] the ungodly <07563>, who <04310> prosper <07951> in the world < 05769>; they increase <07685> [in] riches <02428>.

13 Verily <0389> I have cleansed <02135> my heart <03824> [in] vain <07385>, and washed <07364> my hands <03709> in innocency <05356>.

14 For all <03605> the day <03117> long have I been <01961> plagued <05060>, and chastened <08433> every morning <01242>.

15. If <0518> I say <0559>, I will speak < 05608> thus <03644>; behold <02009>, I should offend < 0898> [against] the generation <01755> of thy children < 01121>.

16 When I thought <02803> to know <03045> this < 02063>, it [was] too painful <05999> for me;

17 Until <05704> I went <0935> into <0413> the sanctuary <04720> of God <0410>; [then] understood < 0995> I their end <0319>.

18 Surely <0389> thou didst set <07896> them in slippery <02513> places: thou castedst <05307> them down < 05307> into destruction <04876>.

19 How <0349> are they [brought] into desolation < 08047>, as in a moment <07281>! they are utterly consumed < 08552> with terrors <01091>.

20 As a dream <02472> when [one] awaketh <06974>; [so], O Lord <0136>, when thou awakest <05782>, thou shalt despise <0959> their image <06754>.

21. Thus <03588> my heart <03824> was grieved < 02556>, and I was pricked <08150> in my reins <03629>.

22 So foolish <01198> [was] I, and ignorant: I was [as] a beast <0929> before <05973> thee.

23 Nevertheless I [am] continually <08548> with thee: thou hast holden <0270> [me] by my right <03225> hand < 03027>.

24 Thou shalt guide <05148> me with thy counsel < 06098>, and afterward <0310> receive <03947> me [to] glory <03519>.

25 Whom <04310> have I in heaven <08064> [but thee]? and [there is] none <03808> upon earth <0776> [that] I desire <02654> beside <05973> thee.

26 My flesh <07607> and my heart <03824> faileth <03615>: [but] God <0430> [is] the strength <06697> of my heart <03824>, and my portion <02506> for ever <05769> .

27 For, lo <02005>, they that are far <07369> from thee shall perish <06>: thou hast destroyed <06789> all < 03605> them that go a whoring <02181> from thee.

28 But [it is] good <02896> for me to draw near < 07132> to God <0430>: I have put <07896> my trust < 04268> in the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, that I may declare <05608> all <03605> thy works <04399>.

Psalms 74

1. Maschil <07919> of Asaph <0623>. O God < 0430>, why <04100> hast thou cast <02186> [us] off for ever <05331>? [why] doth thine anger <0639> smoke <06225> against the sheep <06629> of thy pasture <04830>?

2 Remember <02142> thy congregation <05712>, [which] thou hast purchased <07069> of old <06924>; the rod <07626> of thine inheritance <05159>, [which] thou hast redeemed <01350>; this <02088> mount <02022> Zion < 06726>, wherein thou hast dwelt <07931>.

3 Lift <07311> up thy feet <06471> unto the perpetual <05331> desolations <04876>; [even] all <03605> [that] the enemy <0341> hath done wickedly <07489> in the sanctuary <06944>.

4 Thine enemies <06887> roar <07580> in the midst <07130> of thy congregations <04150>; they set <07760> up their ensigns <0226> [for] signs <0226>.

5 [A man] was famous <03045> according as he had lifted <0935> up axes <07134> upon the thick <05441> trees < 06086>.

6 But now <06258> they break <01986> down the carved <06603> work <06603> thereof at <03162> once with axes <03781> and hammers <03597>.

7 They have cast <07971> fire <0784> into thy sanctuary <04720>, they have defiled <02490> [by casting down] the dwelling <04908> place of thy name <08034> to the ground <0776>.

8 They said <0559> in their hearts <03820>, Let us destroy <03238> them together <03162>: they have burned < 08313> up all <03605> the synagogues <04150> of God < 0410> in the land <0776>.

9 We see <07200> not our signs <0226>: [there is] no <0369> more <05750> any prophet <05030>: neither < 03808> [is there] among <0854> us any that knoweth <03045> how <05704> long <05704>.

10 O God <0430>, how <05704> long <05704> shall the adversary <06862> reproach <02778>? shall the enemy <0341> blaspheme <05006> thy name <08034> for ever < 05331>?

11 Why <04100> withdrawest <07725> thou thy hand <03027>, even thy right <03225> hand <03225>? pluck < 03615> [it] out of thy bosom <02436>.

12. For God <0430> [is] my King <04428> of old < 06924>, working <06466> salvation <03444> in the midst < 07130> of the earth <0776>.

13 Thou didst divide <06565> the sea <03220> by thy strength <05797>: thou brakest <07665> the heads <07218> of the dragons <08577> in the waters <04325>.

14 Thou brakest <07533> the heads <07218> of leviathan <03882> in pieces, [and] gavest <05414> him [to be] meat <03978> to the people <05971> inhabiting <06728> the wilderness <06728>.

15 Thou didst cleave <01234> the fountain <04599> and the flood <05158>: thou driedst <03001> up mighty < 0386> rivers <05104>.

16 The day <03117> [is] thine, the night <03915> also <0637> [is] thine: thou hast prepared <03559> the light <03974> and the sun <08121>.

17 Thou hast set <05324> all <03605> the borders <01367> of the earth <0776>: thou hast made <03335> summer <07019> and winter <02779>.

18. Remember <02142> this <02063>, [that] the enemy <0341> hath reproached <02778>, O LORD <03068>, and [that] the foolish <05036> people <05971> have blasphemed < 05006> thy name <08034>.

19 O deliver <05414> not the soul <05315> of thy turtledove <08449> unto the multitude <02416> [of the wicked]: forget <07911> not the congregation <02416> of thy poor < 06041> for ever <05331>.

20 Have respect <05027> unto the covenant <01285>: for the dark <04285> places of the earth <0776> are full < 04390> of the habitations <04999> of cruelty <02555>.

21 O let not the oppressed <01790> return <07725> ashamed <03637>: let the poor <06041> and needy <034> praise <01984> thy name <08034>.

22 Arise <06965>, O God <0430>, plead <07378> thine own cause <07379>: remember <02142> how the foolish < 05036> man reproacheth <02781> thee daily.

23 Forget <07911> not the voice <06963> of thine enemies <06887>: the tumult <07588> of those that rise < 06965> up against thee increaseth <05927> continually < 08548>.

Psalms 75

1. To the chief Musician <05329>, Altaschith <0408> <07843>, A Psalm <04210> [or] Song <07892> of Asaph < 0623>. Unto thee, O God <0430>, do <06213> we give thanks <03034>, [unto thee] do <06213> we give thanks <03034>: for [that] thy name <08034> is near <07138> thy wondrous < 06381> works declare <05608>.

2 When <03588> I shall receive <03947> the congregation <04150> I will judge <08199> uprightly < 04339>.

3 The earth <0776> and all <03605> the inhabitants <03427> thereof are dissolved <04127>: I bear <08505> up the pillars <05982> of it. Selah <05542>.

4 I said <0559> unto the fools <01984>, Deal not foolishly <01984>: and to the wicked <07563>, Lift < 07311> not up the horn <07161>:

5 Lift <07311> not up your horn <07161> on high < 04791>: speak <01696> [not with] a stiff <06277> neck < 06677>.

6. For promotion <07311> [cometh] neither <03808> from the east <04161>, nor from the west <04628>, nor from the south <04057>.

7 But God <0430> [is] the judge <08199>: he putteth <08213> down <08231> one, and setteth <07311> up another <02088>.

8 For in the hand <03027> of the LORD <03068> [there is] a cup <03563>, and the wine <03196> is red < 02560>; it is full <04392> of mixture <04538>; and he poureth <05064> out of the same <02088>: but the dregs < 08105> thereof, all <03605> the wicked <07563> of the earth <0776> shall wring <04680> [them] out, [and] drink < 08354> [them].

9 But I will declare <05046> for ever <05769>; I will sing praises to the God <0430> of Jacob <03290>.

10 All <03605> the horns <07161> of the wicked < 07563> also will I cut <01438> off; [but] the horns <07161> of the righteous <06662> shall be exalted <07311>.

Psalms 76

1. To the chief Musician <05329> on Neginoth <05058>, A Psalm <04210> [or] Song <07892> of Asaph <0623>. In Judah <03063> [is] God <0430> known <03045>: his name <08034> [is] great <01419> in Israel <03478>.

2 In Salem <08004> also is his tabernacle <05520>, and his dwelling <04585> place in Zion <06726>.

3 There <08033> brake <07665> he the arrows < 07565> of the bow <07198>, the shield <04043>, and the sword <02719>, and the battle <04421>. Selah <05542>.

4 Thou [art] more glorious <0215> [and] excellent < 0117> than the mountains <02042> of prey <02964>.

5 The stouthearted are spoiled <07997>, they have slept <05123> their sleep <08142>: and none <03808> of the men <0582> of might <02428> have found <04672> their hands <03027>.

6 At thy rebuke <01606>, O God <0430> of Jacob < 03290>, both the chariot <07393> and horse <05483> are cast <07290> into a dead sleep <07290>.

7. Thou, [even] thou, [art] to be feared <03372>: and who <04310> may stand <05975> in thy sight <06440> when once <0227> thou art angry <0639>?

8 Thou didst cause judgment <01779> to be heard < 08085> from heaven <08064>; the earth <0776> feared < 03372>, and was still <08252>,

9 When God <0430> arose <06965> to judgment < 04941>, to save <03467> all <03605> the meek <06035> of the earth <0776>. Selah <05542>.

10 Surely <03588> the wrath <02534> of man < 0120> shall praise <03034> thee: the remainder <07611> of wrath <02534> shalt thou restrain <02296>.
