Psalms 42
My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: When shall I come and appear before God?
As the hart panteth after the water brooks, So panteth my soul after thee, O God.
My tears have been my food day and night, While they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?
These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me, How I went with the throng, and led them to the house of God, With the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping holyday.
Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why' art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise him For' the help of his countenance.
O my God, my soul is cast down within me: Therefore do I remember thee from the land of the Jordan, And the Hermons, from the hill Mizar.
Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterfalls: All thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.
Yet' Jehovah will command his lovingkindness in the day-time; And in the night his song shall be with me, Even' a prayer unto the God of my life.
I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
As with a sword in my bones, mine adversaries reproach me, While they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?
Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise him, `Who is' the help of my countenance, and my God.
Psalms 43
Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: Oh deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
Oh send out thy light and thy truth; let them lead me: Let them bring me unto thy holy hill, And to thy tabernacles.
For thou art the God of my strength; why hast thou cast me off? Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
Then will I go unto the altar of God, Unto God my exceeding joy; And upon the harp will I praise thee, O God, my God.
Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise him, Who is' the help of my countenance, and my God. Psalm 44 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm' of the sons of Korah. Maschil.
Psalms 44
We have heard with our ears, O God, Our fathers have told us, What work thou didst in their days, In the days of old.
Thou didst drive out the nations with thy hand; But them thou didst plant: Thou didst afflict the peoples; But them thou didst spread abroad.
For they gat not the land in possession by their own sword, Neither did their own arm save them; But thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, Because thou wast favorable unto them.
Thou art my King, O God: Command deliverance for Jacob.
Through thee will we push down our adversaries: Through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.
For I will not trust in my bow, Neither shall my sword save me.
But thou hast saved us from our adversaries, And hast put them to shame that hate us.
In God have we made our boast all the day long, And we will give thanks unto thy name for ever. Selah
Thou makest us to turn back from the adversary; And they that hate us take spoil for themselves.
But now thou hast cast `us' off, and brought us to dishonor, And goest not forth with our hosts.
Thou hast made us like sheep `appointed' for food, And hast scattered us among the nations.
Thou sellest thy people for nought, And hast not increased `thy wealth' by their price.
Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbors, A scoffing and a derision to them that are round about us.
Thou makest us a byword among the nations, A shaking of the head among the peoples.
For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth, By reason of the enemy and the avenger.
All the day long is my dishonor before me, And the shame of my face hath covered me,
All this is come upon us; Yet have we not forgotten thee, Neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.
Our heart is not turned back, Neither have our steps declined from thy way,
That thou hast sore broken us in the place of jackals, And covered us with the shadow of death.
Will not God search this out? For he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
If we have forgotten the name of our God, Or spread forth our hands to a strange god;
Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? Arise, cast `us' not off for ever.
For our soul is bowed down to the dust: Our body cleaveth unto the earth.
Wherefore hidest thou thy face, And forgettest our affliction and our oppression?
Rise up for our help, And redeem us for thy lovingkindness' sake. Psalm 45 For the Chief Musician; set to Shoshannim. `A Psalm' of the sons of Korah. Maschil. A Song of loves.
Psalms 45
My heart overfloweth with a goodly matter; I speak the things which I have made touching the king: My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
Thou art fairer than the children of men; Grace is poured into thy lips: Therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O mighty one, Thy glory and thy majesty.
And in thy majesty ride on prosperously, Because of truth and meekness `and' righteousness: And thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
Thine arrows are sharp; The peoples fall under thee; `They are' in the heart of the king's enemies.
Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness: Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee With the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: A sceptre of equity is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
All thy garments smell of' myrrh, and aloes, and' cassia; Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee glad.
Kings' daughters are among thy honorable women: At thy right hand doth stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; Forget also thine own people, and thy father's house:
So will the king desire thy beauty; For he is thy lord; and reverence thou him.
And the daughter of Tyre `shall be there' with a gift; The rich among the people shall entreat thy favor.
The king's daughter within `the palace' is all glorious: Her clothing is inwrought with gold.
She shall be led unto the king in broidered work: The virgins her companions that follow her Shall be brought unto thee.
With gladness and rejoicing shall they be led: They shall enter into the king's palace.
Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, Whom thou shalt make princes in all the earth.
I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: Therefore shall the peoples give thee thanks for ever and ever. Psalm 46 For the Chief Musician. `A Psalm' of the sons of Korah; set to Alamoth. A Song.
Psalms 46
God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.
Therefore will we not fear, though the earth do change, And though the mountains be shaken into the heart of the seas;
There is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God, The holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.
Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, Though the mountains tremble with the swelling thereof. Selah
God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God will help her, and that right early.
The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved: He uttered his voice, the earth melted.
Jehovah of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah
Come, behold the works of Jehovah, What desolations he hath made in the earth.
He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; He breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; He burneth the chariots in the fire.
Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.
Jehovah of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah Psalm 47 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.
Psalms 47
Oh clap your hands, all ye peoples; Shout unto God with the voice of triumph.
For Jehovah Most High is terrible; He is a great King over all the earth.
He subdueth peoples under us, And nations under our feet.
He chooseth our inheritance for us, The glory of Jacob whom he loved. Selah
Sing praise to God, sing praises: Sing praises unto our King, sing praises.
God is gone up with a shout, Jehovah with the sound of a trumpet.
For God is the King of all the earth: Sing ye praises with understanding.
God reigneth over the nations: God sitteth upon his holy throne.
The princes of the peoples are gathered together `To be' the people of the God of Abraham: For the shields of the earth belong unto God; He is greatly exalted. Psalm 48 A Song; a Psalm of the sons of Korah.
Psalms 48
Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised, In the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, Is mount Zion, `on' the sides of the north, The city of the great King.
God hath made himself known in her palaces for a refuge.
For, lo, the kings assembled themselves, They passed by together.
They saw it, then were they amazed; They were dismayed, they hasted away.
Trembling took hold of them there, Pain, as of a woman in travail.
With the east wind Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish.
We have thought on thy lovingkindness, O God, In the midst of thy temple.
As we have heard, so have we seen In the city of Jehovah of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. Selah
As is thy name, O God, So is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: Thy right hand is full of righteousness.
Let mount Zion be glad, Let the daughters of Judah rejoice, Because of thy judgments.
Walk about Zion, and go round about her; Number the towers thereof;
For this God is our God for ever and ever: He will be our guide `even' unto death. Psalm 49 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.
Mark ye well her bulwarks; Consider her palaces: That ye may tell it to the generation following.
Psalms 49
Hear this, all ye peoples; Give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world,
Both low and high, Rich and poor together.
My mouth shall speak wisdom; And the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.
I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.
Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, When iniquity at my heels compasseth me about?
None `of them' can by any means redeem his brother, Nor give to God a ransom for him;
They that trust in their wealth, And boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
(For the redemption of their life is costly, And it faileth for ever;)
That he should still live alway, That he should not see corruption.
For he shall see it. Wise men die; The fool and the brutish alike perish, And leave their wealth to others.
Their inward thought is, that' their houses shall continue' for ever, `And' their dwelling-places to all generations; They call their lands after their own names.
This their way is their folly: Yet after them men approve their sayings. Selah
But man `being' in honor abideth not: He is like the beasts that perish.
They are appointed as a flock for Sheol; Death shall be their shepherd; And the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; And their beauty shall be for Sheol to consume, That there be no habitation for it.
But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol; For he will receive me. Selah
For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away; His glory shall not descend after him.
Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, When the glory of his house is increased.
Though while he lived he blessed his soul (And men praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself,)
Man that is in honor, and understandeth not, Is like the beasts that perish. Psalm 50 A Psalm of Asaph.
He shall go to the generation of his fathers; They shall never see the light.
Psalms 50
The Mighty One, God, Jehovah, hath spoken, And called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.
Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined forth.
Our God cometh, and doth not keep silence: A fire devoureth before him, And it is very tempestuous round about him.
He calleth to the heavens above, And to the earth, that he may judge his people:
Gather my saints together unto me, Those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.
And the heavens shall declare his righteousness; For God is judge himself. Selah
Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify unto thee: I am God, `even' thy God.
I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices; And thy burnt-offerings are continually before me.
I will take no bullock out of thy house, Nor he-goats out of thy folds.
I know all the birds of the mountains; And the wild beasts of the field are mine.
For every beast of the forest is mine, And the cattle upon a thousand hills.
If I were hungry, I would not tell thee; For the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.
Will I eat the flesh of bulls, Or drink the blood of goats?
Offer unto God the sacrifice of thanksgiving; And pay thy vows unto the Most High:
And call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, And that thou hast taken my covenant in thy mouth,
Seeing thou hatest instruction, And castest my words behind thee?
When thou sawest a thief, thou consentedst with him, And hast been partaker with adulterers.
Thou givest thy mouth to evil, And thy tongue frameth deceit.
Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; Thou slanderest thine own mother's son.
These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; Thou thoughtest that I was altogether such a one as thyself: But' I will reprove thee, and set them' in order before thine eyes.
Now consider this, ye that forget God, Lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver:
Whoso offereth the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifieth me; And to him that ordereth his way `aright' Will I show the salvation of God. Psalm 51 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David; when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.
Psalms 51
Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: According to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin.
For I know my transgressions; And my sin is ever before me.
Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, And done that which is evil in thy sight; That thou mayest be justified when thou speakest, And be clear when thou judgest.
Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity; And in sin did my mother conceive me.
Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts; And in the hidden part thou wilt make me to know wisdom.
Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Make me to hear joy and gladness, That the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
Hide thy face from my sins, And blot out all mine iniquities.
Create in me a clean heart, O God; And renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from thy presence; And take not thy holy Spirit from me.
Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; And uphold me with a willing spirit.
Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; And sinners shall be converted unto thee.
For thou delightest not in sacrifice; else would I give it: Thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering.
Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation; `And' my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
O Lord, open thou my lips; And my mouth shall show forth thy praise.
Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: Build thou the walls of Jerusalem.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: A broken and contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
Then will thou delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, In burnt-offering and in whole burnt-offering: Then will they offer bullocks upon thine altar. Psalm 52 For the Chief Musician. Maschil of David; when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David is come to the house of Abimelech.
Psalms 52
Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? The lovingkindness of God `endureth' continually.
Thy tongue deviseth very wickedness, Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
Thou lovest evil more than good, And lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah
Thou lovest all devouring words, thou deceitful tongue.
God will likewise destroy thee for ever; He will take thee up, and pluck thee out of thy tent, And root thee out of the land of the living. Selah
Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength, But trusted in the abundance of his riches, And strengthened himself in his wickedness.
The righteous also shall see it', and fear, And shall laugh at him, saying',
But as for me, I am like a green olive-tree in the house of God: I trust in the lovingkindness of God for ever and ever.
I will give thee thanks for ever, because thou hast done it; And I will hope in thy name, for it is good, in the presence of thy saints. Psalm 53 For the Chief Musician; set to Mahalath. Maschil of David.
Psalms 53
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity; There is none that doeth good.
God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there were any that did understand, That did seek after God.
Every one of them is gone back; they are together become filthy; There is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, Who eat up my people `as' they eat bread, And call not upon God?
There were they in great fear, where no fear was; For God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: Thou hast put them to shame, because of God hath rejected them.
Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Then shall Jacob rejoice, `and' Israel shall be glad. Psalm 54 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. Maschil of David; when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us?
Psalms 54
Save me, O God, by thy name, And judge me in thy might.
Hear my prayer, O God; Give ear to the words of my mouth.
Behold, God is my helper: The Lord is of them that uphold my soul.
For strangers are risen up against me, And violent men have sought after my soul: They have not set God before them. Selah
He will requite the evil unto mine enemies: Destroy thou them in thy truth.
With a freewill-offering will I sacrifice unto thee: I will give thanks unto thy name, O Jehovah, for it is good.
For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; And mine eye hath seen `my desire' upon mine enemies. Psalm 55 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. Maschil of David.
Psalms 55
Give ear to my prayer, O God; And hide not thyself from my supplication.
Attend unto me, and answer me: I am restless in my complaint, and moan,
Because of the voice of the enemy, Because of the oppression of the wicked; For they cast iniquity upon me, And in anger they persecute me.
My heart is sore pained within me: And the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, And horror hath overwhelmed me.
Lo, then would I wander far off, I would lodge in the wilderness. Selah
And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! Then would I fly away, and be at rest.
I would haste me to a shelter From the stormy wind and tempest.
Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: Iniquity also and mischief are in the midst of it.
Destroy, O Lord, `and' divide their tongue; For I have seen violence and strife in the city.
Wickedness is in the midst thereof: Oppression and guile depart not from its streets.
But it was thou, a man mine equal, My companion, and my familiar friend.
For it was not an enemy that reproached me; Then I could have borne it: Neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; Then I would have hid myself from him:
Let death come suddenly upon them, Let them go down alive into Sheol; For wickedness is in their dwelling, in the midst of them.
We took sweet counsel together; We walked in the house of God with the throng.
As for me, I will call upon God; And Jehovah will save me.
Evening, and morning, and at noonday, will I complain, and moan; And he will hear my voice.
He hath redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me; For they were many `that strove' with me.
God will hear, and answer them, Even he that abideth of old, Selah `The men' who have no changes, And who fear not God.
He hath put forth his hands against such as were at peace with him: He hath profaned his covenant.
Cast thy burden upon Jehovah, and he will sustain thee: He will never suffer the righteous to be moved.
His mouth was smooth as butter, But his heart was war: His words were softer than oil, Yet were they drawn swords.
But thou, O God, wilt bring them down into the pit of destruction: Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; But I will trust in thee. Psalm 56 For the Chief Musician; set to Jonath elem rehokim. `A Psalm' of David. Michtam: when the Philistines took him in Gath.
Psalms 56
Mine enemies would swallow me up all the day long; For they are many that fight proudly against me.
Be merciful unto me, O God; for man would swallow me up: All the day long he fighting oppresseth me.
In God (I will praise his word), In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid; What can flesh do unto me?
What time I am afraid, I will put my trust in thee.
All the day long they wrest my words: All their thoughts are against me for evil.
Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, O God.
They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, They mark my steps, Even as they have waited for my soul.
Then shall mine enemies turn back in the day that I call: This I know, that God is for me.
Thou numberest my wanderings: Put thou my tears into thy bottle; Are they not in thy book?
In God (I will praise his' word), In Jehovah (I will praise his' word),
In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid; What can man do unto me?
Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render thank-offerings unto thee.
For thou hast delivered my soul from death: Hast thou' not delivered' my feet from falling, That I may walk before God In the light of the living? Psalm 57 For the Chief Musician; set to' Al-tash-heth. A Psalm' of David. Michtam; when he fled from Saul, in the cave.
Psalms 57
Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me; For my soul taketh refuge in thee: Yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I take refuge, Until `these' calamities be overpast.
I will cry unto God Most High, Unto God that performeth `all things' for me.
He will send from heaven, and save me, `When' he that would swallow me up reproacheth; Selah God will send forth his lovingkindness and his truth.
My soul is among lions; I lie among them that are set on fire, Even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword.
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; Let' thy glory be' above all the earth.
They have prepared a net for my steps; My soul is bowed down: They have digged a pit before me; They are fallen into the midst thereof themselves. Selah
My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing, yea, I will sing praises.
I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the peoples: I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake right early.
For thy lovingkindness is great unto the heavens, And thy truth unto the skies.
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; Let' thy glory be' above all the earth. Psalm 58 For the Chief Musician; set to' Al-tashheth. A Psalm' of David Michtam.
Psalms 58
Do ye indeed in silence speak righteousness? Do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
Nay, in heart ye work wickedness; Ye weigh out the violence of your hands in the earth.
The wicked are estranged from the womb: They go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
Which hearkeneth not to the voice of charmers, Charming never so wisely.
Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: `They are' like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear,
Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: Break out the great teeth of the young lions, O Jehovah.
Let them be' as a snail which melteth and passeth away, Like' the untimely birth of a woman, that hath not seen the sun.
Let them melt away as water that runneth apace: When he aimeth his arrows, let them be as though they were cut off.
Before your pots can feel the thorns, He will take them away with a whirlwind, the green and the burning alike.
So that men shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: Verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth. Psalm 59 For the Chief Musician; set to' Al-tashheth. A Psalm' of David. Michtam; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.
The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked;
Psalms 59
Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: Set me on high from them that rise up against me.
Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, And save me from the bloodthirsty men.
They run and prepare themselves without `my' fault: Awake thou to help me, and behold.
For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul; The mighty gather themselves together against me: Not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Jehovah.
Even thou, O Jehovah God of hosts, the God of Israel, Arise to visit all the nations: Be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah
They return at evening, they howl like a dog, And go round about the city.
Behold, they belch out with their mouth; Swords are in their lips: For who, `say they', doth hear?
But thou, O Jehovah, wilt laugh at them; Thou wilt have all the nations in derision.
My God with his lovingkindness will meet me: God will let me see `my desire' upon mine enemies.
`Because of' his strength I will give heed unto thee; For God is my high tower.
Slay them not, lest my people forget: Scatter them by thy power, and bring them down, O Lord our shield.
Consume them in wrath, consume them, so that they shall be no more: And let them know that God ruleth in Jacob, Unto the ends of the earth. Selah
For' the sin of their mouth, and' the words of their lips, Let them even be taken in their pride, And for cursing and lying which they speak.
And at evening let them return, let them howl like a dog, And go round about the city.
They shall wander up and down for food, And tarry all night if they be not satisfied.
But I will sing of thy strength; Yea, I will sing aloud of thy lovingkindness in the morning: For thou hast been my high tower, And a refuge in the day of my distress.
Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing praises: For God is my high tower, the God of my mercy. Psalm 60 For the Chief Musician; `set to' Shushan Eduth. Michtam of David, to teach; and when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the Valley of Salt twelve thousand.
Psalms 60
O God thou hast cast us off, thou hast broken us down; Thou hast been angry; oh restore us again.
Thou hast showed thy people hard things: Thou hast made us to drink the wine of staggering.
Thou hast made the land to tremble; thou hast rent it: Heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, That it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah
God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult; I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
That thy beloved may be delivered, Save with thy right hand, and answer us.
Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre.
Who will bring me into the strong city? Who hath led me unto Edom?
Moab is my washpot; Upon Edom will I cast my shoe: Philistia, shout thou because of me.
Hast not thou, O God, cast us off? And thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.
Give us help against the adversary; For vain is the help of man.
Through God we shall do valiantly; For he it is that will tread down our adversaries. Psalm 61 For the Chief Musician; on a stringed instrument. `A Psalm' of David.
Psalms 61
Hear my cry, O God; Attend unto my prayer.
From the end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
For thou hast been a refuge for me, A strong tower from the enemy.
I will dwell in thy tabernacle for ever: I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. Selah
For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: Thou hast given `me' the heritage of those that fear thy name.
Thou wilt prolong the king's life; His years shall be as many generations.
He shall abide before God for ever: Oh prepare lovingkindness and truth, that they may preserve him.
So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, That I may daily perform my vows. Psalm 62 For the Chief Musician; after the manner of Jeduthan. A Psalm of David.
Psalms 62
My soul waiteth in silence for God only: From him `cometh' my salvation.
He only is my rock and my salvation: `He is' my high tower; I shall not be greatly moved.
How long will ye set upon a man, That ye may slay `him', all of you, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?
They only consult to thrust him down from his dignity; They delight in lies; They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah
He only is my rock and my salvation: `He is' my high tower; I shall not be moved.
My soul, wait thou in silence for God only; For my expectation is from him.
With God is my salvation and my glory: The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
Trust in him at all times, ye people; Pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah
Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: In the balances they will go up; They are together lighter than vanity.
Trust not in oppression, And become not vain in robbery: If riches increase, set not your heart `thereon'.
God hath spoken once, Twice have I heard this, That power belongeth unto God.
Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth lovingkindness; For thou renderest to every man according to his work. Psalm 63 A Psalm of David when he was in the wilderness of Judah.
Psalms 63
O God, thou art my God; earnestly will I seek thee: My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee, In a dry and weary land, where no water is.
So have I looked upon thee in the sanctuary, To see thy power and thy glory.
Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, My lips shall praise thee.
So will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.
My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; And my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips;
When I remember thee upon my bed, `And' meditate on thee in the night-watches.
For thou hast been my help, And in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
My soul followeth hard after thee: Thy right hand upholdeth me.
But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, Shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
But the king shall rejoice in God: Every one that sweareth by him shall glory; For the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped. Psalm 64 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
They shall be given over to the power of the sword: They shall be a portion for foxes.
Psalms 64
Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint: Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
Hide me from the secret counsel of evil-doers, From the tumult of the workers of iniquity;
Who have whet their tongue like a sword, And have aimed their arrows, even bitter words,
That they may shoot in secret places at the perfect: Suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
They encourage themselves in an evil purpose; They commune of laying snares privily; They say, Who will see them?
They search out iniquities; We have accomplished, `say they', a diligent search: And the inward thought and the heart of every one is deep.
But God will shoot at them; With an arrow suddenly shall they be wounded.
So they shall be made to stumble, their own tongue being against them: All that see them shall wag the head.
And all men shall fear; And they shall declare the work of God, And shall wisely consider of his doing.
The righteous shall be glad in Jehovah, and shall take refuge in him; And all the upright in heart shall glory. Psalm 65 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm. A song of David.
Psalms 65
Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Zion; And unto thee shall the vow be performed.
Iniquities prevail against me: As for our transgressions, thou wilt forgive them.
O thou that hearest prayer, Unto thee shall all flesh come.
Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach `unto thee', That he may dwell in thy courts: We shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, Thy holy temple.
By terrible things thou wilt answer us in righteousness, Oh God of our salvation, Thou that art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, And of them that are afar off upon the sea:
Who stilleth the roaring of the seas, The roaring of their waves, And the tumult of the peoples.
Who by his strength setteth fast the mountains, Being girded about with might;
They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: Thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.
Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it, Thou greatly enrichest it; The river of God is full of water: Thou providest them grain, when thou hast so prepared the earth.
Thou waterest its furrows abundantly; Thou settlest the ridges thereof: Thou makest it soft with showers; Thou blessest the springing thereof.
Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; And thy paths drop fatness.
They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness; And the hills are girded with joy.
The pastures are clothed with flocks; The valleys also are covered over with grain; They shout for joy, they also sing. Psalm 66 For the Chief Musician. A song, a Psalm.
Psalms 66
Make a joyful noise unto God, all the earth:
Sing forth the glory of his name: Make his praise glorious.
Say unto God, How terrible are thy works! Through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.
All the earth shall worship thee, And shall sing unto thee; They shall sing to thy name. Selah
He turned the sea into dry land; They went through the river on foot: There did we rejoice in him.
Come, and see the works of God; `He is' terrible in his doing toward the children of men.
He ruleth by his might for ever; His eyes observe the nations: Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah
Who holdeth our soul in life, And suffereth not our feet to be moved.
Oh bless our God, ye peoples, And make the voice of his praise to be heard;
For thou, O God, hast proved us: Thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.
Thou broughtest us into the net; Thou layedst a sore burden upon our loins.
Thou didst cause men to ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water; But thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.
Which my lips uttered, And my mouth spake, when I was in distress.
I will come into thy house with burnt-offerings; I will pay thee my vows,
I will offer unto thee burnt-offerings of fatlings, With the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah
Come, and hear, all ye that fear God, And I will declare what he hath done for my soul.
I cried unto him with my mouth, And he was extolled with my tongue.
If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear:
But verily God hath heard; He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
Blessed be God, Who hath not turned away my prayer, Nor his lovingkindness from me. Psalm 67 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm, a song.
Psalms 67
God be merciful unto us, and bless us, `And' cause his face to shine upon us; Selah
That thy way may be known upon earth, Thy salvation among all nations.
Let the peoples praise thee, O God; Let all the peoples praise thee.
Let the peoples praise thee, O God; Let all the peoples praise thee.
Oh let the nations be glad and sing for joy; For thou wilt judge the peoples with equity, And govern the nations upon earth. Selah
The earth hath yielded its increase: God, even our own God, will bless us.
God will bless us; And all the ends of the earth shall fear him. Psalm 68 For the Chief Musician; A Psalm of David, a song.
Psalms 68
Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered; Let them also that hate him flee before him.
As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: As wax melteth before the fire, So let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
But let the righteous be glad; let them exult before God: Yea, let them rejoice with gladness.
Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: Cast up a highway for him that rideth through the deserts; His name is Jehovah; and exult ye before him.
A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, Is God in his holy habitation.
O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, When thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah
God setteth the solitary in families: He bringeth out the prisoners into prosperity; But the rebellious dwell in a parched land.
The earth trembled, The heavens also dropped rain' at the presence of God: Yon Sinai trembled' at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, Thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.
Thy congregation dwelt therein: Thou, O God, didst prepare of thy goodness for the poor.
The Lord giveth the word: The women that publish the tidings are a great host.
When ye lie among the sheepfolds, `It is as' the wings of a dove covered with silver, And her pinions with yellow gold.
Kings of armies flee, they flee; And she that tarrieth at home divideth the spoil.
When the Almighty scattered kings therein, `It was as when' it snoweth in Zalmon.
A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan; A high mountain is the mountain of Bashan.
Why look ye askance, ye high mountains, At the mountain which God hath desired for his abode? Yea, Jehovah will dwell `in it' for ever.
The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands upon thousands; The Lord is among them, `as in' Sinai, in the sanctuary.
Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led away captives; Thou hast received gifts among men, Yea, among' the rebellious also, that Jehovah God might dwell with them'.
Blessed be the Lord, who daily beareth our burden, Even the God who is our salvation. Selah
God is unto us a God of deliverances; And unto Jehovah the Lord belongeth escape from death.
The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring `them' again from the depths of the sea;
But God will smite through the head of his enemies, The hairy scalp of such a one as goeth on still in his guiltiness.
That thou mayest crush them', dipping' thy foot in blood, That the tongue of thy dogs may have its portion from `thine' enemies.
They have seen thy goings, O God, Even the goings of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.
The singers went before, the minstrels followed after, In the midst of the damsels playing with timbrels.
Bless ye God in the congregations, Even the Lord, `ye that are' of the fountain of Israel.
There is little Benjamin their ruler, The princes of Judah `and' their council, The princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali.
Thy God hath commanded thy strength: Strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.
Because of thy temple at Jerusalem Kings shall bring presents unto thee.
Rebuke the wild beast of the reeds, The multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the peoples, Trampling under foot the pieces of silver: He hath scattered the peoples that delight in war.
Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall haste to stretch out her hands unto God.
Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; Oh sing praises unto the Lord; Selah
To him that rideth upon the heaven of heavens, which are of old; Lo, he uttereth his voice, a mighty voice.
Ascribe ye strength unto God: His excellency is over Israel, And his strength is in the skies.
O God, thou art' terrible out of thy holy places: The God of Israel, he giveth strength and power unto his' people. Blessed be God. Psalm 69 For the Chief Musician; set to Shoshanim. `A Psalm' of David.
Psalms 69
Save me, O God; For the waters are come in unto my soul.
I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
I am weary with my crying; my throat is dried: Mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.
O God, thou knowest my foolishness; And my sins are not hid from thee.
They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head: They that would cut me off, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: That which I took not away I have to restore.
Let not them that wait for thee be put to shame through me, O Lord Jehovah of hosts: Let not those that seek thee be brought to dishonor through me, O God of Israel.
Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; Shame hath covered my face.
I am become a stranger unto my brethren, And an alien unto my mother's children.
For the zeal of thy house hath eaten me up; And the reproaches of them that reproach thee are fallen upon me.
When I wept, `and chastened' my soul with fasting, That was to my reproach.
When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a byword unto them.
