Psalms 7
Behold, he travaileth with iniquity; Yea, he hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
Arise, O Jehovah, in thine anger; Lift up thyself against the rage of mine adversaries, And awake for me; thou hast commanded judgment.
Lest they tear my soul like a lion, Rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
O let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish thou the righteous: For the righteous God trieth the minds and hearts.
My shield is with God, Who saveth the upright in heart.
If a man turn not, he will whet his sword; He hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; He maketh his arrows fiery `shafts'.
And let the congregation of the peoples compass thee about; And over them return thou on high.
If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (Yea, I have delivered him that without cause was mine adversary;)
O Jehovah my God, in thee do I take refuge: Save me from all them that pursue me, and deliver me,
O Jehovah my God, if I have done this; If there be iniquity in my hands;
I will give thanks unto Jehovah according to his righteousness, And will sing praise to the name of Jehovah Most High. Psalm 8 For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. A Psalm of David.
His mischief shall return upon his own head, And his violence shall come down upon his own pate.
God is a righteous judge, Yea, a God that hath indignation every day.
He hath made a pit, and digged it, And is fallen into the ditch which he made.
Let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it; Yea, let him tread my life down to the earth, And lay my glory in the dust. Selah
Jehovah ministereth judgment to the peoples: Judge me, O Jehovah, according to my righteousness, and to mine integrity that is in me.
Psalms 13
How long shall I take counsel in my soul, Having sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; `Lest' mine adversaries rejoice when I am moved.
I will sing unto Jehovah, Because he hath dealt bountifully with me. Psalm 14 For the Chief Musician. `A Psalm' of David.
But I have trusted in thy lovingkindness; My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
Consider and' answer me, O Jehovah my God: Lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of' death;
How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou forget me for ever? How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
Psalms 17
Thou hast proved my heart; thou hast visited me in the night; Thou hast tried me, and findest nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.
Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; Let thine eyes look upon equity.
Hear the right, O Jehovah, attend unto my cry; Give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.
He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey, And as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
Arise, O Jehovah, Confront him, cast him down: Deliver my soul from the wicked by thy sword;
Keep me as the apple of the eye; Hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
As for the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the ways of the violent.
They have now compassed us in our steps; They set their eyes to cast `us' down to the earth.
My steps have held fast to thy paths, My feet have not slipped.
They are inclosed in their own fat: With their mouth they speak proudly.
I have called upon thee, for thou wilt answer 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 that take refuge in thee 'From those that rise up against them'.
From men by thy hand, O Jehovah, From men of the world, whose portion is in `this' life, And whose belly thou fillest with thy treasure: They are satisfied with children, And leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
As for me, I shall behold thy face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with beholding' thy form. Psalm 18 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm' of David the servant of Jehovah, who spake unto Jehovah the words of this song in the day that Jehovah delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul: and he said,
From the wicked that oppress me, My deadly enemies, that compass me about.
Psalms 6
Jehovah hath heard my supplication; Jehovah will receive my prayer.
Mine eye wasteth away because of grief; It waxeth old because of all mine adversaries.
Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; for I am withered away: O Jehovah, heal me; for my bones are troubled.
All mine enemies shall be put to shame and sore troubled: They shall turn back, they shall be put to shame suddenly. Psalm 7 Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto Jehova, concerning the words of Cush a Benjamite.
O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger, Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
For in death there is no remembrance of thee: In Sheol who shall give thee thanks?
My soul also is sore troubled: And thou, O Jehovah, how long?
Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; For Jehovah hath heard the voice of my weeping.
Return, O Jehovah, deliver my soul: Save me for thy lovingkindness' sake.
I am weary with my groaning; Every night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.
Psalms 15
In whose eyes a reprobate is despised, But who honoreth them that fear Jehovah; He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not;
Jehovah, who shall sojourn in thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, And speaketh truth in his heart;
He that putteth not out his money to interest, Nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved. Psalm 16 Michtam of David.
He that slandereth not with his tongue, Nor doeth evil to his friend, Nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbor;
Psalms 14
There were they in great fear; For God is in the generation of the righteous.
Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When Jehovah bringeth back the captivity of his people, Then shall Jacob rejoice, `and' Israel shall be glad. Psalm 15 A Psalm of David.
Jehovah looked down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there were any that did understand, That did seek after God.
Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, Who eat up my people `as' they eat bread, And call not upon Jehovah?
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works; There is none that doeth good.
They are all gone aside; they are together become filthy; There is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Ye put to shame the counsel of the poor, Because Jehovah is his refuge.
Psalms 1
And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water, That bringeth forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also doth not wither; And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
The wicked are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
For Jehovah knoweth the way of the righteous; But the way of the wicked shall perish.
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked, Nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers:
But his delight is in the law of Jehovah; And on his law doth he meditate day and night.
Psalms 16
Preserve me, O God; for in thee do I take refuge.
As for the saints that are in the earth, They are the excellent in whom is all my delight.
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth; My flesh also shall dwell in safety.
Thou wilt show me the path of life: In thy presence is fulness of joy; In thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. Psalm 17 A Prayer of David.
`O my soul', thou hast said unto Jehovah, Thou art my Lord: I have no good beyond thee.
The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; Yea, I have a goodly heritage.
I have set Jehovah always before me: Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
For thou wilt not leave my soul to Sheol; Neither wilt thou suffer thy holy one to see corruption.
Their sorrows shall be multiplied that give gifts for another `god': Their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, Nor take their names upon my lips.
Jehovah is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: Thou maintainest my lot.
I will bless Jehovah, who hath given me counsel; Yea, my heart instructeth me in the night seasons.
Psalms 10
For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, And the covetous renounceth, `yea', contemneth Jehovah.
Jehovah is King for ever and ever: The nations are perished out of his land.
His ways are firm at all times; Thy judgments are far above out of his sight: As for all his adversaries, he puffeth at them.
He saith in his heart, I shall not be moved; To all generations I shall not be in adversity.
He saith in his heart, God hath forgotten; He hideth his face; he will never see it.
Jehovah, thou hast heard the desire of the meek: Thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear;
The wicked, in the pride of his countenance, saith', He will not require it'. All his thoughts are, There is no God.
He lurketh in secret as a lion in his covert; He lieth in wait to catch the poor: He doth catch the poor, when he draweth him in his net.
He croucheth, he boweth down, And the helpless fall by his strong ones.
To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, That man who is of the earth may be terrible no more. Psalm 11 For the Chief Musician. `A Psalm' of David.
Thou hast seen it'; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: The helpless committeth himself' unto thee; Thou hast been the helper of the fatherless.
He sitteth in the lurking-places of the villages; In the secret places doth he murder the innocent; His eyes are privily set against the helpless.
Why standest thou afar off, O Jehovah? Why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?
In the pride of the wicked the poor is hotly pursued; Let them be taken in the devices that they have conceived.
His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and oppression: Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.
Arise, O Jehovah; O God, lift up thy hand: Forget not the poor.
Break thou the arm of the wicked; And as for the evil man, seek out his wickedness till thou find none.
Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God, And say in his heart, Thou wilt not require `it'?
Psalms 11
Jehovah is in his holy temple; Jehovah, his throne is in heaven; His eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
In Jehovah do I take refuge: How say ye to my soul, Flee `as' a bird to your mountain;
Upon the wicked he will rain snares; Fire and brimstone and burning wind shall be the portion of their cup.
For, lo, the wicked bend the bow, They make ready their arrow upon the string, That they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart;
For Jehovah is righteous; he loveth righteousness: The upright shall behold his face. Psalm 12 For the Chief Musician; set to the Sheminith. A Psalm of David.
If the foundations be destroyed, What can the righteous do?
Jehovah trieth the righteous; But the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
Psalms 3
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of the people That have set themselves against me round about.
I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for Jehovah sustaineth me.
But thou, O Jehovah, art a shield about me; My glory and the lifter up of my head.
Many there are that say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah
I cry unto Jehovah with my voice, And he answereth me out of his holy hill. Selah
Jehovah, how are mine adversaries increased! Many are they that rise up against me.
Salvation belongeth unto Jehovah: Thy blessing be upon thy people. Selah Psalm 4 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.
Arise, O Jehovah; save me, O my God: For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; Thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
Psalms 5
O Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; In the morning will I order `my prayer' unto thee, and will keep watch.
For thou wilt bless the righteous; O Jehovah, thou wilt compass him with favor as with a shield. Psalm 6 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments, set to the Sheminith. A Psalm of David.
The arrogant shall not stand in thy sight: Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
Give ear to my words, O Jehovah, Consider my meditation.
But as for me, in the abundance of thy lovingkindness will I come into thy house: In thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
But let all those that take refuge in thee rejoice, Let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: Let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.
For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: Evil shall not sojourn with thee.
For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; Their inward part is very wickedness; Their throat is an open sepulchre; They flatter with their tongue.
Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God; For unto thee do I pray.
Thou wilt destroy them that speak lies: Jehovah abhorreth the blood-thirsty and deceitful man.
Lead me, O Jehovah, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; Make thy way straight before my face.
Hold them guilty, O God; Let them fall by their own counsels; Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions; For they have rebelled against thee.
Psalms 2
The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against Jehovah, and against his anointed, `saying',
Why do the nations rage, And the peoples meditate a vain thing?
I will tell of the decree: Jehovah said unto me, Thou art my son; This day have I begotten thee.
He that sitteth in the heavens will laugh: The Lord will have them in derision.
Serve Jehovah with fear, And rejoice with trembling.
Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
Then will he speak unto them in his wrath, And vex them in his sore displeasure:
Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way, For his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all they that take refuge in him. Psalm 3 A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.
Ask of me, and I will give `thee' the nations for thine inheritance, And the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
Let us break their bonds asunder, And cast away their cords from us.
Now therefore be wise, O ye kings: Be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
Yet I have set my king Upon my holy hill of Zion.
Psalms 4
Many there are that say, Who will show us `any' good? Jehovah, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor? `How long' will ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? Selah
But know that Jehovah hath set apart for himself him that is godly: Jehovah will hear when I call unto him.
In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; For thou, Jehovah, alone makest me dwell in safety. Psalm 5 For the Chief Musician; with the Nehiloth. A Psalm of David.
Stand in awe, and sin not: Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah
Thou hast put gladness in my heart, More than `they have' when their grain and their new wine are increased.
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, And put your trust in Jehovah.
Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness; Thou hast set me at large `when I was' in distress: Have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
Psalms 12
Help, Jehovah; for the godly man ceaseth; For the faithful fail from among the children of men.
The words of Jehovah are pure words; As silver tried in a furnace on the earth, Purified seven times.
Thou wilt keep them, O Jehovah, Thou wilt preserve them from this generation for ever.
Jehovah will cut off all flattering lips, The tongue that speaketh great things;
Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; Our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
They speak falsehood every one with his neighbor: With flattering lip, and with a double heart, do they speak.
Because of the oppression of the poor, because of the sighing of the needy, Now will I arise, saith Jehovah; I will set him in the safety he panteth for.
The wicked walk on every side, When vileness is exalted among the sons of men. Psalm 13 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
Psalms 8
For thou hast made him but little lower than God, And crownest him with glory and honor.
Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou established strength, Because of thine adversaries, That thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
O Jehovah, our Lord, How excellent is thy name in all the earth, Who hast set thy glory upon the heavens!
Thou makest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet:
All sheep and oxen, Yea, and the beasts of the field,
When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, The moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
The birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, Whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
O Jehovah, our Lord, How excellent is thy name in all the earth! Psalm 9 For the Chief Musician; set to Muthlabben. A Psalm of David.
What is man, that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that thou visitest him?
Psalms 9
And he will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to the peoples in uprightness.
Jehovah hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment: The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah
Arise, O Jehovah; let not man prevail: Let the nations be judged in thy sight.
For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; Thou sittest in the throne judging righteously.
I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy marvellous works.
The enemy are come to an end, they are desolate for ever; And the cities which thou hast overthrown, The very remembrance of them is perished.
Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; Behold my affliction `which I suffer' of them that hate me, Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death;
The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made: In the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
But Jehovah sitteth `as king' for ever: He hath prepared his throne for judgment;
And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; For thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
That I may show forth all thy praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in thy salvation.
Jehovah also will be a high tower for the oppressed, A high tower in times of trouble;
I will be glad and exult in thee; I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High.
Put them in fear, O Jehovah: Let the nations know themselves to be but men. Selah
For the needy shall not alway be forgotten, Nor the expectation of the poor perish for ever.
Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked; Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
When mine enemies turn back, They stumble and perish at thy presence.
For he that maketh inquisition for blood remembereth them; He forgetteth not the cry of the poor.
The wicked shall be turned back unto Sheol, Even all the nations that forget God.
Sing praises to Jehovah, who dwelleth in Zion: Declare among the people his doings.
Psalms 20
Remember all thy offerings, And accept thy burnt-sacrifice; Selah
Grant thee thy heart's desire, And fulfil all thy counsel.
Some `trust' in chariots, and some in horses; But we will make mention of the name of Jehovah our God.
Send thee help from the sanctuary, And strengthen thee out of Zion;
They are bowed down and fallen; But we are risen, and stand upright.
Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble; The name of the God of Jacob set thee up on high;
Now know I that Jehovah saveth his anointed; He will answer him from his holy heaven With the saving strength of his right hand.
Save, Jehovah: Let the King answer us when we call. Psalm 21 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
We will triumph in thy salvation, And in the name of our God we will set up our banners: Jehovah fulfil all thy petitions.
Psalms 25
O my God, in thee have I trusted, Let me not be put to shame; Let not mine enemies triumph over me.
Show me thy ways, O Jehovah; Teach me thy paths.
Unto thee, O Jehovah, do I lift up my soul.
Yea, none that wait for thee shall be put to shame: They shall be put to shame that deal treacherously without cause.
Remember, O Jehovah, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindness; For they have been ever of old.
Guide me in thy truth, and teach me; For thou art the God of my salvation; For thee do I wait all the day.
Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: According to thy lovingkindness remember thou me, For thy goodness' sake, O Jehovah.
All the paths of Jehovah are lovingkindness and truth Unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
The troubles of my heart are enlarged: Oh bring thou me out of my distresses.
Redeem Israel, O God, Out all of his troubles. Psalm 26 `A Psalm' of David.

Consider mine enemies, for they are many; And they hate me with cruel hatred.
His soul shall dwell at ease; And his seed shall inherit the land.
Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; For I am desolate and afflicted.
The meek will he guide in justice; And the meek will he teach his way.
Good and upright is Jehovah: Therefore will he instruct sinners in the way.
What man is he that feareth Jehovah? Him shall he instruct in the way that he shall choose.
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For I wait for thee.
For thy name's sake, O Jehovah, Pardon mine iniquity, for it is great.
Consider mine affliction and my travail; And forgive all my sins.
The friendship of Jehovah is with them that fear him; And he will show them his covenant.
Mine eyes are ever toward Jehovah; For he will pluck my feet out of the net.
Psalms 21
Thy hand will find out all thine enemies; Thy right hand will find out those that hate thee.
His glory is great in thy salvation: Honor and majesty dost thou lay upon him.
For thou meetest him with the blessings of goodness: Thou settest a crown of fine gold on his head.
For thou wilt make them turn their back; Thou wilt make ready with thy bowstrings against their face.
Thou wilt make them as a fiery furnace in the time of thine anger: Jehovah will swallow them up in his wrath, And the fire shall devour them.
Their fruit wilt thou destroy from the earth, And their seed from among the children of men.
He asked life of thee, thou gavest it him, Even length of days for ever and ever.
Be thou exalted, O Jehovah, in thy strength: So will we sing and praise thy power. Psalm 22 For the Chief Musician; set to Aijaleth hash-Shahar. A Psalm of David.
For thou makest him most blessed for ever: Thou makest him glad with joy in thy presence.
The king shall joy in thy strength, O Jehovah; And in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
For they intended evil against thee; They conceived a device which they are not able to perform.
Thou hast given him his heart's desire, And hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah
For the king trusteth in Jehovah; And through the lovingkindness of the Most High he shall not be moved.
Psalms 22
A seed shall serve him; It shall be told of the Lord unto the `next' generation.
For the kingdom is Jehovah's; And he is the ruler over the nations.
They gape upon me with their mouth, `As' a ravening and a roaring lion.
But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
I may count all my bones; They look and stare upon me.
O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou answerest not; And in the night season, and am not silent.
But I am a worm, and no man; A reproach of men, and despised of the people.
I will declare thy name unto my brethren: In the midst of the assembly will I praise thee.
They shall come and shall declare his righteousness Unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done it. Psalm 23 A Psalm of David.
For dogs have compassed me: A company of evil-doers have inclosed me; They pierced my hands and my feet.
I was cast upon thee from the womb; Thou art my God since my mother bare me.
All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn unto Jehovah; And all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
Commit `thyself' unto Jehovah; Let him deliver him: Let him rescue him, seeing he delighteth in him.
Ye that fear Jehovah, praise him; All ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; And stand in awe of him, all ye the seed of Israel.
But thou art he that took me out of the womb; Thou didst make me trust `when I was' upon my mother's breasts.
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.
They cried unto thee, and were delivered: They trusted in thee, and were not put to shame.
Deliver my soul from the sword, My darling from the power of the dog.
Of thee cometh my praise in the great assembly: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.
All the fat ones of the earth shall eat and worship: All they that go down to the dust shall bow before him, Even he that cannot keep his soul alive.
My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Why art thou so' far from helping me, and from' the words of my groaning?
But be not thou far off, O Jehovah: O thou my succor, haste thee to help me.
All they that see me laugh me to scorn: They shoot out the lip, they shake the head, `saying',
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.
Save me from the lion's mouth; Yea, from the horns of the wild-oxen thou hast answered me.
Our fathers trusted in thee: They trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
The meek shall eat and be satisfied; They shall praise Jehovah that seek after him: Let your heart live for ever.
They part my garments among them, And upon my vesture do they cast lots.
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.
I am poured out like water, And all my bones are out of joint: My heart is like wax; It is melted within me.
Psalms 18
I was also perfect with him, And I kept myself from mine iniquity.
At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed, Hailstones and coals of fire.
With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; And with the perverse thou wilt show thyself froward.
As for God, his way is perfect: The word of Jehovah is tried; He is a shield unto all them that take refuge in him.
He teacheth my hands to war; So that mine arms do bend a bow of brass.
Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; My God, my rock, in whom I will take refuge; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.
Even the God that executeth vengeance for me, And subdueth peoples under me.
Therefore hath Jehovah recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
Jehovah liveth; and blessed be my rock; And exalted be the God of my salvation,
The cords of Sheol were round about me; The snares of death came upon me.
For thou wilt save the afflicted people; But the haughty eyes thou wilt bring down.
For all his ordinances were before me, And I put not away his statutes from me.
I will smite them through, so that they shall not be able to rise: They shall fall under my feet.
He rescueth me from mine enemies; Yea, thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me; Thou deliverest me from the violent man.
For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not wickedly departed from my God.
For thou wilt light my lamp: Jehovah my God will lighten my darkness.
Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind; I did cast them out as the mire of the streets.
The foreigners shall fade away, And shall come trembling out of their close places.
He maketh my feet like hinds' `feet': And setteth me upon my high places.
Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah, among the nations, And will sing praises unto thy name.
And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly; Yea, he soared upon the wings of the wind.
The God that girdeth me with strength, And maketh my way perfect?
Jehovah also thundered in the heavens, And the Most High uttered his voice, Hailstones and coals of fire.
I will pursue mine enemies, and overtake them; Neither will I turn again till they are consumed.
The cords of death compassed me, And the floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
In my distress I called upon Jehovah, And cried unto my God: He heard my voice out of his temple, And my cry before him came into his ears.
He made darkness his hiding-place, his pavilion round about him, Darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
They cried, but there was none to save; Even unto Jehovah, but he answered them not.
He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful; With the perfect man thou wilt show thyself perfect;
He delivered me from my strong enemy, And from them that hated me; for they were too mighty for me.
Great deliverance giveth he to his king, And showeth lovingkindness to his anointed, To David and to his seed, for evermore. Psalm 19 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
He bowed the heavens also, and came down; And thick darkness was under his feet.
They came upon me in the day of my calamity; But Jehovah was my stay.
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 delivered me from the strivings of the people; Thou hast made me the head of the nations: A people whom I have not known shall serve me.
For by thee I run upon a troop; And by my God do I leap over a wall.
For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
Then the earth shook and trembled; The foundations also of the mountains quaked And were shaken, because he was wroth.
I love thee, O Jehovah, my strength.
There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, And fire out of his mouth devoured: Coals were kindled by it.
As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me; The foreigners shall submit themselves unto me.
I will call upon Jehovah, who is worthy to be praised: So shall I be saved from mine enemies.
For who is God, save Jehovah? And who is a rock, besides our God,
Then the channels of waters appeared, And the foundations of the world were laid bare, At thy rebuke, O Jehovah, At the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, And my feet have not slipped.
Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me, That I might cut off them that hate me.
He sent from on high, he took me; He drew me out of many waters.
And he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; Yea, lightnings manifold, and discomfited them.
Jehovah hath rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
Psalms 23
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou hast anointed my head with oil; My cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and lovingkindness shall follow me all the days of my life; And I shall dwell in the house of Jehovah for ever. Psalm 24 A Psalm of David.
Jehovah is my shepherd; I shall not want.
Yea, thou I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.
He restoreth my soul: He guideth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside still waters.
Psalms 24
Who is the King of glory? Jehovah strong and mighty, Jehovah mighty in battle.
This is the generation of them that seek after him, That seek thy face, `even' Jacob. Selah
Who shall ascend into the hill of Jehovah? And who shall stand in his holy place?
For he hath founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the floods.
He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; Who hath not lifted up his soul unto falsehood, And hath not sworn deceitfully.
Who is this King of glory? Jehovah of hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah Psalm 25 `A Psalm' of David.
Lift up your heads, O ye gates; Yea, lift them up, ye everlasting doors: And the King of glory will come in.
He shall receive a blessing from Jehovah, And righteousness from the God of his salvation.
Lift up your heads, O ye gates; And be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors: And the King of glory will come in.
The earth is Jehovah's, and the fulness thereof; The world, and they that dwell therein.
Psalms 19
The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring for ever: The ordinances of Jehovah are true, `and' righteous altogether.
The law of Jehovah is perfect, restoring the soul: The testimony of Jehovah is sure, making wise the simple.
The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament showeth his handiwork.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in thy sight, O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer. Psalm 20 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, And rejoiceth as a strong man to run his course.
Who can discern his' errors? Clear thou me from hidden faults'.
The precepts of Jehovah are right, rejoicing the heart: The commandment of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes.
Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous `sins'; Let them not have dominion over me: Then shall I be upright, And I shall be clear from great transgression.
There is no speech nor language; 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,
Day unto day uttereth speech, And night unto night showeth knowledge.
Moreover by them is thy servant warned: In keeping them there is great reward.
More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the droppings of the honeycomb.
His going forth is from the end of the heavens, And his circuit unto the ends of it; And there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
Psalms 27
And now shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me. And I will offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto Jehovah.
When my father and my mother forsake me, Then Jehovah will take me up.
Hear, O Jehovah, when I cry with my voice: Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
Teach me thy way, O Jehovah; And lead me in a plain path, Because of mine enemies.
`When thou saidst', Seek ye my face; My heart said unto thee, Thy face, Jehovah, will I seek.
One thing have I asked of Jehovah, that will I seek after; That I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of Jehovah, And to inquire in his temple.
For in the day of trouble he will keep me secretly in his pavilion: In the covert of his tabernacle will he hide me; He will lift me up upon a rock.
When evil-doers came upon me to eat up my flesh, `Even' mine adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.
Jehovah is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? Jehovah is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?
Though a host should encamp against me, My heart shall not fear: Though war should rise against me, Even then will I be confident.
Hide not thy face from me; Put not thy servant away in anger: Thou hast been my help; Cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
Wait for Jehovah: Be strong, and let thy heart take courage; Yea, wait thou for Jehovah. Psalm 28 `A Psalm' of David.
`I had fainted', unless I had believed to see the goodness of Jehovah In the land of the living.
Deliver me not over unto the will of mine adversaries: For false witnesses are risen up against me, And such as breathe out cruelty.
Psalms 26
I have not sat with men of falsehood; Neither will I go in with dissemblers.
For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes; And I have walked in thy truth.
Gather not my soul with sinners, Nor my life with men of blood;
Jehovah, I love the habitation of thy house, And the place where thy glory dwelleth.
Examine me, O Jehovah, and prove me; Try my heart and my mind.
My foot standeth in an even place: In the congregations will I bless Jehovah. Psalm 27 `A Psalm' of David.
I will wash my hands in innocency: So will I compass thine altar, O Jehovah;
That I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, And tell of all thy wondrous works.
Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in Jehovah without wavering.
In whose hands is wickedness, And their right hand is full of bribes.
But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: Redeem me, and be merciful unto me.
I hate the assembly of evil-doers, And will not sit with the wicked.
Psalms 28
Unto thee, O Jehovah, will I call: My rock, be not thou deaf unto me; Lest, if thou be silent unto me, I become like them that go down into the pit.
Because they regard not the works of Jehovah, Nor the operation of his hands, He will break them down and not build them up.
Jehovah is my strength and my shield; My heart hath trusted in him, and I am helped: Therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; And with my song will I praise him.
Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, When I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.
Jehovah is their strength, And he is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.
Blessed be Jehovah, Because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.
Draw me not away with the wicked, And with the workers of iniquity; That speak peace with their neighbors, But mischief is in their hearts.
Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings: Give them after the operation of their hands; Render to them their desert.
Psalms 33
Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him, Upon them that hope in his lovingkindness;
He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap: He layeth up the deeps in store-houses.
Sing unto him a new song; Play skilfully with a loud noise.
Blessed is the nation whose God is Jehovah, The people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
Let all the earth fear Jehovah: Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
Rejoice in Jehovah, O ye righteous: Praise is comely for the upright.
Give thanks unto Jehovah with the harp: Sing praises unto him with the psaltery of ten strings.
By the word of Jehovah were the heavens made, And all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
Our soul hath waited for Jehovah: He is our help and our shield.
He that fashioneth the hearts of them all, That considereth all their works.
To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine.
For he spake, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.
For the word of Jehovah is right; And all his work is `done' in faithfulness.
For our heart shall rejoice in him, Because we have trusted in his holy name.
He loveth righteousness and justice: The earth is full of the lovingkindness of Jehovah.
A horse is a vain thing for safety; Neither doth he deliver any by his great power.
From the place of his habitation he looketh forth Upon all the inhabitants of the earth,
Jehovah looketh from heaven; He beholdeth all the sons of men;
Let thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, According as we have hoped in thee. Psalm 34 A Psalm of David; when he changed his behavior before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.

I will bless Jehovah at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
The angel of Jehovah encampeth round about them that fear him, And delivereth them.
Keep thy tongue from evil, And thy lips from speaking guile.
The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger; But they that seek Jehovah shall not want any good thing.
Oh fear Jehovah, ye his saints; For there is no want to them that fear him.
The face of Jehovah is against them that do evil, To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
Psalms 32
Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, ye righteous; And shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
I acknowledged my sin unto thee, And mine iniquity did I not hide: I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah; And thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah
For this let every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: Surely when the great waters overflow they shall not reach unto him.
Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding; Whose trappings must be bit and bridle to hold them in, `Else' they will not come near unto thee.
Blessed is the man unto whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no guile.
Many sorrows shall be to the wicked; But he that trusteth in Jehovah, lovingkindness shall compass him about.
I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will counsel thee with mine eye upon thee.
Thou art my hiding-place; thou wilt preserve me from trouble; Thou wilt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah
Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered.

Be strong, and let your heart take courage, All ye that hope in Jehovah. Psalm 32 `A Psalm' of David. Maschil.
But I trusted in thee, O Jehovah: I said, Thou art my God.
For my life is spent with sorrow, And my years with sighing: My strength faileth because of mine iniquity, And my bones are wasted away.
Oh love Jehovah, all ye his saints: Jehovah preserveth the faithful, And plentifully rewardeth him that dealeth proudly.
In the covert of thy presence wilt thou hide them from the plottings of man: Thou wilt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.
For thou art my rock and my fortress; Therefore for thy name's sake lead me and guide me.
I will be glad and rejoice in thy lovingkindness; For thou hast seen my affliction: Thou hast known my soul in adversities;
Let me not be put to shame, O Jehovah; for I have called upon thee: Let the wicked be put to shame, let them be silent in Sheol.
Because of all mine adversaries I am become a reproach, Yea, unto my neighbors exceedingly, And a fear to mine acquaintance: They that did see me without fled from me.
My times are in thy hand: Deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
Blessed be Jehovah; For he hath showed me his marvellous lovingkindness in a strong city.
I hate them that regard lying vanities; But I trust in Jehovah.
Oh how great is thy goodness, Which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee, Which thou hast wrought for them that take refuge in thee, Before the sons of men!
In thee, O Jehovah, do I take refuge; Let me never be put to shame: Deliver me in thy righteousness.
As for me, I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: Nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications When I cried unto thee.
Let the lying lips be dumb, Which speak against the righteous insolently, With pride and contempt.
For I have heard the defaming of many, Terror on every side: While they took counsel together against me, They devised to take away my life.
Pluck me out of the net that they have laid privily for me; For thou art my stronghold.
Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah, for I am in distress: Mine eye wasteth away with grief, `yea', my soul and my body.
Bow down thine ear unto me; deliver me speedily: Be thou to me a strong rock, A house of defence to save me.
Psalms 29
Ascribe unto Jehovah, O ye sons of the mighty, Ascribe unto Jehovah glory and strength.
The voice of Jehovah shaketh the wilderness; Jehovah shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.
Jehovah will give strength unto his people; Jehovah will bless his people with peace. Psalm 30 A Psalm; a Song at the Dedication of the House. `A Psalm' of David.
Jehovah sat `as King' at the Flood; Yea, Jehovah sitteth as King for ever.
The voice of Jehovah is powerful; The voice of Jehovah is full of majesty.
Ascribe unto Jehovah the glory due unto his name; Worship Jehovah in holy array.
The voice of Jehovah breaketh the cedars; Yea, Jehovah breaketh in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.
The voice of Jehovah is upon the waters: The God of glory thundereth, Even Jehovah upon many waters.
The voice of Jehovah maketh the hinds to calve, And strippeth the forests bare: And in his temple everything saith, Glory.
The voice of Jehovah cleaveth the flames of fire.
Psalms 30
What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?
Sing praise unto Jehovah, O ye saints of his, And give thanks to his holy memorial `name'.
To the end that `my' glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Jehovah my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever. Psalm 31 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
Thou, Jehovah, of thy favor hadst made my mountain to stand strong: Thou didst hide thy face; I was troubled.
As for me, I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved.
Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; Thou hast loosed my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
For his anger is but for a moment; His favor is for a life-time: Weeping may tarry for the night, But joy `cometh' in the morning.
I will extol thee, O Jehovah; for thou hast raised me up, And hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
Hear, O Jehovah, and have mercy upon me: Jehovah, be thou my helper.
O Jehovah my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
O Jehovah, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol; Thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
