Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen. Psalm 42 For the Chief Musician. Maschil of the sons of Korah.

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.

For such as are blessed of him shall inherit the land; And they that are cursed of him shall be cut off.

Depart from evil, and do good; And dwell for evermore.

I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation; I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great assembly.

For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: Yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and he shall not be.

For mine iniquities are gone over my head: As a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

Let not the foot of pride come against me, And let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.

Psalms 40

Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, Neither be thou envious against them that work unrighteousness.

Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thy hand.

Then said I, Lo, I am come; In the roll of the book it is written of me:

Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me: Make haste to help me, O Jehovah.

Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, is in the heavens; Thy faithfulness `reacheth' unto the skies.

Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; For Jehovah upholdeth him with his hand.

For I said, Lest they rejoice over me: When my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.

And if he come to see `me', he speaketh falsehood; His heart gathereth iniquity to itself: When he goeth abroad, he telleth it.

Rest in Jehovah, and wait patiently for him: Fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, Because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

Let them be put to shame and confounded together That seek after my soul to destroy it: Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor That delight in my hurt.

Wait for Jehovah, and keep his way, And he will exalt thee to inherit the land: When the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

But one passed by, and, lo, he was not: Yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.

Commit thy way unto Jehovah; Trust also in him, and he will bring it to pass.

I have been young, and now am old; Yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his seed begging bread.

By this I know that thou delightest in me, Because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.

For thine arrows stick fast in me, And thy hand presseth me sore.

The mouth of the righteous talketh of wisdom, And his tongue speaketh justice.

Jehovah will not leave him in his hand, Nor condemn him when he is judged.

Lord, all my desire is before thee; And my groaning is not hid from thee.

An evil disease, `say they', cleaveth fast unto him; And now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.

But thou, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me, and raise me up, That I may requite them.
