Blessed {is} the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. {ungodly: or, wicked}

But his delight {is} in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

The ungodly {are} not so: but {are} like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. {wither: Heb. fade}

Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears. {all...: or, every night}

Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I {am} weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.

My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?

Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.

Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.

For in death {there is} no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?

Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return {and} be ashamed suddenly.

[To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David.] O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. {chief...: or, overseer} {Sheminith: or, the eighth}

Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake.

The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.

[To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David.] O LORD our Lord, how excellent {is} thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. {ordained: Heb. founded}

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

Thou madest 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; {All...: Heb. Flocks and oxen all of them}

For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, {and whatsoever} passeth through the paths of the seas.

O LORD our Lord, how excellent {is} thy name in all the earth!

Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.

Ask of me, and I shall give {thee} the heathen {for} thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth {for} thy possession.

I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou {art} my Son; this day have I begotten thee. {the decree: or, for a decree}

Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, {saying},

Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? {rage: or, tumultuously assemble} {imagine: Heb. meditate}

Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish {from} the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed {are} all they that put their trust in him.

Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. {vex: or, trouble}

Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. {set: Heb. anointed} {upon...: Heb. upon Zion, the hill of my holiness}

Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.

Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending {it} in pieces, while {there is} none to deliver. {none...: Heb. not a deliverer}

If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.

[Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the LORD, concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite.] O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me: {words: or, business}

I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.

Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.

My defence {is} of God, which saveth the upright in heart. {My...: Heb. My buckler is upon God}

O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;

God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry {with the wicked} every day. {judgeth...: or, is a righteous judge}

If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)

Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take {it}; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.

He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch {which} he made. {He made a pit: Heb. He hath digged a pit}

The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity {that is} in me.

He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.

His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.

So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.

Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me {to} the judgment {that} thou hast commanded.

Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man. {bloody...: Heb. man of bloods and deceit}

The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity. {in...: Heb. before thine eyes}

Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.

My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct {my prayer} unto thee, and will look up.

[To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, A Psalm of David.] Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.

Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face. {mine...: Heb. those which observe me}

Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee. {Destroy...: or, Make them guilty} {by...: or, from their counsels}

For thou {art} not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.

For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as {with} a shield. {compass: Heb. crown}

But as for me, I will come {into} thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: {and} in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple. {thy holy...: Heb. the temple of thy holiness}

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. {faithfulness: or, stedfastness} {their mouth: Heb. his mouth, that is, the mouth of any of them} {very...: Heb. wickednesses}

But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. {defendest...: Heb. coverest over, or, protectest them}

Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.

[To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm of David.] Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me {when I was} in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer. {chief...: or, overseer} {have...: or, be gracious unto me}

{There be} many that say, Who will shew us {any} good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

O ye sons of men, how long {will ye turn} my glory into shame? {how long} will ye love vanity, {and} seek after leasing? Selah.

But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.

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 in the time {that} their corn and their wine increased.

I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.

I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.

[A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.] LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! many {are} they that rise up against me.

Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies {upon} the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.

I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.

But thou, O LORD, {art} a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. {for: or, about}

Salvation {belongeth} unto the LORD: thy blessing {is} upon thy people. Selah.

Many {there be} which say of my soul, {There is} no help for him in God. Selah.

I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set {themselves} against me round about.

He croucheth, {and} humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones. {He...: Heb. He breaketh himself} {by...: or, into his strong parts}

To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress. {oppress: or, terrify}

He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net. {secretly: Heb. in the secret places}

Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil {man}: seek out his wickedness {till} thou find none.

He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for {I shall} never {be} in adversity. {never: Heb. unto generation and generation}

The wicked in {his} pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined. {The wicked...: Heb. In the pride of the wicked he doth persecute}
