| A Psalm of David. LORD, who shall abide in thy
tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? |
| He that walketh uprightly, and worketh
righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. |
| He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth
evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour. |
| In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he
honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and
changeth not. |
| He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor
taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall
never be moved. |
| Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God: for in thee do
I put my trust. |
| O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my
Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee; |
| But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the
excellent, in whom is all my delight. |
| Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after
another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take
up their names into my lips. |
| The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of
my cup: thou maintainest my lot. |
| The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places;
yea, I have a goodly heritage. |
| I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my
reins also instruct me in the night seasons. |
| I have set the LORD always before me: because he is
at my right hand, I shall not be moved. |
| Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth:
my flesh also shall rest in hope. |
| For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither
wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. |
| Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence
is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. |
| A prayer of David. Hear the right, O LORD, attend
unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned
lips. |
| Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let
thine eyes behold the things that are equal. |
| Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in
the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed
that my mouth shall not transgress. |
| Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips
I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer. |
| Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps
slip not. |
| I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O
God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech. |
| Show thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that
savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those
that rise up against them. |
| Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the
shadow of thy wings, |
| From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly
enemies, who compass me about. |
| They are enclosed in their own fat: with their mouth
they speak proudly. |
| They have now compassed us in our steps: they have
set their eyes bowing down to the earth; |
| Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it
were a young lion lurking in secret places. |
| Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down:
deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword: |
| From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the
world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou
fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the
rest of their substance to their babes. |
| As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness:
I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness. |
| To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, the servant
of the LORD, who spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day
that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from
the hand of Saul: And he said, I will love thee, O LORD, my strength. |
| The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my
deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and
the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. |
| I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be
praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. |
| The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of
ungodly men made me afraid. |
| The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares
of death prevented me. |
| In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried
unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before
him, even into his ears. |
| Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations
also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth. |
| There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire
out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it. |
| He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and
darkness was under his feet. |
| And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did
fly upon the wings of the wind. |
| He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion
round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies. |
| At the brightness that was before him his thick
clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire. |
| The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the
Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire. |
| Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and
he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them. |
| Then the channels of waters were seen, and the
foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the
blast of the breath of thy nostrils. |
| He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of
many waters. |
| He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them
which hated me: for they were too strong for me. |
| They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the
LORD was my stay. |
| He brought me forth also into a large place; he
delivered me, because he delighted in me. |
| The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness;
according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me. |
| For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not
wickedly departed from my God. |
| For all his judgments were before me, and I did not
put away his statutes from me. |
| I was also upright before him, and I kept myself
from mine iniquity. |
| Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to
my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his
eyesight. |
| With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful;
with an upright man thou wilt show thyself upright; |
| With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; and with
the froward thou wilt show thyself froward. |
| For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt
bring down high looks. |
| For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will
enlighten my darkness. |
| For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my
God have I leaped over a wall. |
| As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD
is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him. |
| For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save
our God? |
| It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh
my way perfect. |
| He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me
upon my high places. |
| He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel
is broken by mine arms. |
| Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation:
and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me
great. |
| Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet
did not slip. |
| I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them:
neither did I turn again till they were consumed. |
| I have wounded them that they were not able to rise:
they are fallen under my feet. |
| For thou hast girded me with strength unto the
battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me. |
| Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies;
that I might destroy them that hate me. |
| They cried, but there was none to save them: even
unto the LORD, but he answered them not. |
| Then did I beat them small as the dust before the
wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets. |
| Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the
people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I
have not known shall serve me. |
| As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the
strangers shall submit themselves unto me. |
| The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of
their close places. |
| The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the
God of my salvation be exalted. |
| It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people
under me. |
| He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou
liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered
me from the violent man. |
| Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD,
among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name. |
| Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and showeth
mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore. |
| To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The heavens
declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth his handiwork. |
| Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night
showeth knowledge. |
| There is no speech nor language, where their voice
is not heard. |
| Their line is gone out through all the earth, and
their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle
for the sun, |
| Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. |
| His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and
his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat
thereof. |
| The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul:
the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. |
| The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the
heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. |
| The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever:
the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. |
| More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than
much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. |
| Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in
keeping of them there is great reward. |
| Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from
secret faults. |
| Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins;
let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall
be innocent from the great transgression. |
| Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my
heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. |
| To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The LORD
hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend
thee; |
| Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen
thee out of Zion; |
| Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt
sacrifice; Selah. |
| Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil
all thy counsel. |
| We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of
our God we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfil all thy petitions. |
| Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he
will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right
hand. |
| Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we
will remember the name of the LORD our God. |
| They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen,
and stand upright. |
| Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call. |
| To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The king
shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly
shall he rejoice! |
| Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not
withholden the request of his lips. Selah. |
| For thou preventest him with the blessings of
goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head. |
| He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even
length of days for ever and ever. |
| His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and
majesty hast thou laid upon him. |
| For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou
hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance. |
| For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the
mercy of the most High he shall not be moved. |
| Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy
right hand shall find out those that hate thee. |
| Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of
thine anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire
shall devour them. |
| Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and
their seed from among the children of men. |
| For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a
mischievous device, which they are not able to perform. |
| Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when
thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of
them. |
| Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so
will we sing and praise thy power. |
| To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm
of David. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far
from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? |
| O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest
not; and in the night season, and am not silent. |
| But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the
praises of Israel. |
| Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou
didst deliver them. |
| They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they
trusted in thee, and were not confounded. |
| But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and
despised of the people. |
| All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot
out the lip, they shake the head, saying, |
| He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him:
let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him. |
| But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou
didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts. |
| I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God
from my mother's belly. |
| Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there
is none to help. |
| Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan
have beset me round. |
| They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening
and a roaring lion. |
| I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out
of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels. |
| My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my
tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of
death. |
| For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the
wicked have enclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet. |
| I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon
me. |
| They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon
my vesture. |
| But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength,
haste thee to help me. |
| Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the
power of the dog. |
| Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard
me from the horns of the unicorns. |
| I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the
midst of the congregation will I praise thee. |
| Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed
of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel. |
| For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction
of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he
cried unto him, he heard. |
| My praise shall be of thee in the great
congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him. |
| The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall
praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever. |
| All the ends of the world shall remember and turn
unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before
thee. |
| For the kingdom is the LORD'S: and he is the
governor among the nations. |
| All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and
worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and
none can keep alive his own soul. |
| A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the
Lord for a generation. |
| They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness
unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this. |
