1Jehovah, I have called upon thee; make haste unto me:
Give ear unto my voice, when I call unto thee.
2Let my prayer be set forth as incense before thee;
The lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
3Set a watch, O Jehovah, before my mouth;
Keep the door of my lips.
4Incline not my heart to any evil thing,
To practise deeds of wickedness
With men that work iniquity:
And let me not eat of their dainties.
5Let the righteous smite me, [it shall be] a kindness;
And let him reprove me, [it shall be as] oil upon the head;
Let not my head refuse it:
For even in their wickedness shall my prayer continue.
6Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock;
And they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
7As when one ploweth and cleaveth the earth,
Our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol.
8For mine eyes are unto thee, O Jehovah the Lord:
In thee do I take refuge; leave not my soul destitute.
9Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me,
And from the gins of the workers of iniquity.
10Let the wicked fall into their own nets,
Whilst that I withal escape.
1I cry with my voice unto Jehovah;
With my voice unto Jehovah do I make supplication.
2I pour out my complaint before him;
I show before him my trouble.
3When my spirit was overwhelmed within me,
Thou knewest my path.
In the way wherein I walk
Have they hidden a snare for me.
4Look on [my] right hand, and see;
For there is no man that knoweth me:
Refuge hath failed me;
No man careth for my soul.
5I cried unto thee, O Jehovah;
I said, Thou art my refuge,
My portion in the land of the living.
6Attend unto my cry;
For I am brought very low:
Deliver me from my persecutors;
For they are stronger than I.
7Bring my soul out of prison,
That I may give thanks unto thy name:
The righteous shall compass me about;
For thou wilt deal bountifully with me.
1Hear my prayer, O Jehovah; give ear to my supplications:
In thy faithfulness answer me, [and] in thy righteousness.
2And enter not into judgment with thy servant;
For in thy sight no man living is righteous.
3For the enemy hath persecuted my soul;
He hath smitten my life down to the ground:
He hath made me to dwell in dark places, as those that have been
long dead.
4Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me;
My heart within me is desolate.
5I remember the days of old;
I meditate on all thy doings;
I muse on the work of thy hands.
6I spread forth my hands unto thee:
My soul [thirsteth] after thee, as a weary land.
Selah
7Make haste to answer me, O Jehovah; my spirit faileth:
Hide not thy face from me,
Lest I become like them that go down into the pit.
8Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning;
For in thee do I trust:
Cause me to know the way wherein I should walk;
For I lift up my soul unto thee.
9Deliver me, O Jehovah, from mine enemies:
I flee unto thee to hide me.
10Teach me to do thy will;
For thou art my God:
Thy Spirit is good;
Lead me in the land of uprightness.
11Quicken me, O Jehovah, for thy name’s sake:
In thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.
12And in thy lovingkindness cut off mine enemies,
And destroy all them that afflict my soul;
For I am thy servant.
1Blessed be Jehovah my rock,
Who teacheth my hands to war,
[And] my fingers to fight:
2My lovingkindness, and my fortress,
My high tower, and my deliverer;
My shield, and he in whom I take refuge;
Who subdueth my people under me.
3Jehovah, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him?
Or the son of man, that thou makest account of him?
4Man is like to vanity:
His days are as a shadow that passeth away.
5Bow thy heavens, O Jehovah, and come down:
Touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
6Cast forth lightning, and scatter them;
Send out thine arrows, and discomfit them.
7Stretch forth thy hand from above;
Rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters,
Out of the hand of aliens;
8Whose mouth speaketh deceit,
And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
9I will sing a new song unto thee, O God:
Upon a psaltery of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.
10Thou art he that giveth salvation unto kings;
Who rescueth David his servant from the hurtful sword.
11Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hand of aliens,
Whose mouth speaketh deceit,
And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
12When our sons shall be as plants grown up in their
youth,
And our daughters as corner-stones hewn after the fashion of a
palace;
13[When] our garners are full, affording all manner of
store,
[And] our sheep bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our
fields;
14[When] our oxen are well laden;
[When there is] no breaking in, and no going forth,
And no outcry in our streets:
15Happy is the people that is in such a case;
[Yea], happy is the people whose God is Jehovah.
1I will extol thee, my God, O King;
And I will bless thy name for ever and ever.
2Every day will I bless thee;
And I will praise thy name for ever and ever.
3Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised;
And his greatness is unsearchable.
4One generation shall laud thy works to another,
And shall declare thy mighty acts.
5Of the glorious majesty of thine honor,
And of thy wondrous works, will I meditate.
6And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts;
And I will declare thy greatness.
7They shall utter the memory of thy great goodness,
And shall sing of thy righteousness.
8Jehovah is gracious, and merciful;
Slow to anger, and of great lovingkindness.
9Jehovah is good to all;
And his tender mercies are over all his works.
10All thy works shall give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah;
And thy saints shall bless thee.
11They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom,
And talk of thy power;
12To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts,
And the glory of the majesty of his kingdom.
13Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
And thy dominion [endureth] throughout all generations.
14Jehovah upholdeth all that fall,
And raiseth up all those that are bowed down.
15The eyes of all wait for thee;
And thou givest them their food in due season.
16Thou openest thy hand,
And satisfiest the desire of every living thing.
17Jehovah is righteous in all his ways,
And gracious in all his works.
18Jehovah is nigh unto all them that call upon him,
To all that call upon him in truth.
19He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him;
He also will hear their cry and will save them.
20Jehovah preserveth all them that love him;
But all the wicked will he destroy.
21My mouth shall speak the praise of Jehovah;
And let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
