1Preserve me, O God; for in thee do I take refuge.
2[O my soul], thou hast said unto Jehovah, Thou art my
Lord:
I have no good beyond thee.
3As for the saints that are in the earth,
They are the excellent in whom is all my delight.
4Their 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.
5Jehovah is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup:
Thou maintainest my lot.
6The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places;
Yea, I have a goodly heritage.
7I will bless Jehovah, who hath given me counsel;
Yea, my heart instructeth me in the night seasons.
8I have set Jehovah always before me:
Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth;
My flesh also shall dwell in safety.
10For thou wilt not leave my soul to Sheol;
Neither wilt thou suffer thy holy one to see corruption.
11Thou wilt show me the path of life:
In thy presence is fulness of joy;
In thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
1Hear the right, O Jehovah, attend unto my cry;
Give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.
2Let my sentence come forth from thy presence;
Let thine eyes look upon equity.
3Thou 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.
4As for the works of men, by the word of thy lips
I have kept me from the ways of the violent.
5My steps have held fast to thy paths,
My feet have not slipped.
6I have called upon thee, for thou wilt answer me, O God:
Incline thine ear unto me, [and] hear my speech.
7Show thy marvellous lovingkindness,
O thou that savest by thy right hand them that take refuge [in
thee
]From those that rise up [against them].
8Keep me as the apple of the eye;
Hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
9From the wicked that oppress me,
My deadly enemies, that compass me about.
10They are inclosed in their own fat:
With their mouth they speak proudly.
11They have now compassed us in our steps;
They set their eyes to cast [us] down to the earth.
12He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey,
And as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
13Arise, O Jehovah,
Confront him, cast him down:
Deliver my soul from the wicked by thy sword;
14From 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.
15As for me, I shall behold thy face in righteousness;
I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with [beholding] thy form.
1I love thee, O Jehovah, my strength.
2Jehovah 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.
3I will call upon Jehovah, who is worthy to be praised:
So shall I be saved from mine enemies.
4The cords of death compassed me,
And the floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
5The cords of Sheol were round about me;
The snares of death came upon me.
6In 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.
7Then the earth shook and trembled;
The foundations also of the mountains quaked
And were shaken, because he was wroth.
8There went up a smoke out of his nostrils,
And fire out of his mouth devoured:
Coals were kindled by it.
9He bowed the heavens also, and came down;
And thick darkness was under his feet.
10And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly;
Yea, he soared upon the wings of the wind.
11He made darkness his hiding-place, his pavilion round
about him,
Darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
12At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed,
Hailstones and coals of fire.
13Jehovah also thundered in the heavens,
And the Most High uttered his voice,
Hailstones and coals of fire.
14And he sent out his arrows, and scattered them;
Yea, lightnings manifold, and discomfited them.
15Then 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.
16He sent from on high, he took me;
He drew me out of many waters.
17He delivered me from my strong enemy,
And from them that hated me; for they were too mighty for me.
18They came upon me in the day of my calamity;
But Jehovah was my stay.
19He brought me forth also into a large place;
He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
20Jehovah hath rewarded me according to my righteousness;
According to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
21For I have kept the ways of Jehovah,
And have not wickedly departed from my God.
22For all his ordinances were before me,
And I put not away his statutes from me.
23I was also perfect with him,
And I kept myself from mine iniquity.
24Therefore hath Jehovah recompensed me according to my
righteousness,
According to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
25With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful;
With the perfect man thou wilt show thyself perfect;
26With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure;
And with the perverse thou wilt show thyself froward.
27For thou wilt save the afflicted people;
But the haughty eyes thou wilt bring down.
28For thou wilt light my lamp:
Jehovah my God will lighten my darkness.
29For by thee I run upon a troop;
And by my God do I leap over a wall.
30As for God, his way is perfect:
The word of Jehovah is tried;
He is a shield unto all them that take refuge in him.
31For who is God, save Jehovah?
And who is a rock, besides our God,
32The God that girdeth me with strength,
And maketh my way perfect?
33He maketh my feet like hinds’ [feet]:
And setteth me upon my high places.
34He teacheth my hands to war;
So that mine arms do bend a bow of brass.
35Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation;
And thy right hand hath holden me up,
And thy gentleness hath made me great.
36Thou hast enlarged my steps under me,
And my feet have not slipped.
37I will pursue mine enemies, and overtake them;
Neither will I turn again till they are consumed.
38I will smite them through, so that they shall not be
able to rise:
They shall fall under my feet.
39For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle:
Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
40Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto
me,
That I might cut off them that hate me.
41They cried, but there was none to save;
Even unto Jehovah, but he answered them not.
42Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind;
I did cast them out as the mire of the streets.
43Thou 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.
44As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me;
The foreigners shall submit themselves unto me.
45The foreigners shall fade away,
And shall come trembling out of their close places.
46Jehovah liveth; and blessed be my rock;
And exalted be the God of my salvation,
47Even the God that executeth vengeance for me,
And subdueth peoples under me.
48He rescueth me from mine enemies;
Yea, thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me;
Thou deliverest me from the violent man.
49Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah, among
the nations,
And will sing praises unto thy name.
50Great deliverance giveth he to his king,
And showeth lovingkindness to his anointed,
To David and to his seed, for evermore.
1The heavens declare the glory of God;
And the firmament showeth his handiwork.
2Day unto day uttereth speech,
And night unto night showeth knowledge.
3There is no speech nor language;
Their voice is not heard.
4Their 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,
5Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
And rejoiceth as a strong man to run his course.
6His 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.
7The law of Jehovah is perfect, restoring the soul:
The testimony of Jehovah is sure, making wise the simple.
8The precepts of Jehovah are right, rejoicing the heart:
The commandment of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring for ever:
The ordinances of Jehovah are true, [and] righteous altogether.
10More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much
fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the droppings of the honeycomb.
11Moreover by them is thy servant warned:
In keeping them there is great reward.
12Who can discern [his] errors?
Clear thou me from hidden [faults].
13Keep 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.
14Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in thy sight,
O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer.
1Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble;
The name of the God of Jacob set thee up on high;
2Send thee help from the sanctuary,
And strengthen thee out of Zion;
3Remember all thy offerings,
And accept thy burnt-sacrifice;
Selah
4Grant thee thy heart’s desire,
And fulfil all thy counsel.
5We will triumph in thy salvation,
And in the name of our God we will set up our banners:
Jehovah fulfil all thy petitions.
6Now know I that Jehovah saveth his anointed;
He will answer him from his holy heaven
With the saving strength of his right hand.
7Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses;
But we will make mention of the name of Jehovah our God.
8They are bowed down and fallen;
But we are risen, and stand upright.
9Save, Jehovah:
Let the King answer us when we call.
