Psalms 41

1Blessed is he that considereth the poor:
Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil.

2Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive,
And he shall be blessed upon the earth;
And deliver not thou him unto the will of his enemies.

3Jehovah will support him upon the couch of languishing:
Thou makest all his bed in his sickness.

4I said, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me:
Heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

5Mine enemies speak evil against me, [saying],
When will he die, and his name perish?

6And if he come to see [me], he speaketh falsehood;
His heart gathereth iniquity to itself:
When he goeth abroad, he telleth it.

7All that hate me whisper together against me;
Against me do they devise my hurt.

8An evil disease, [say they], cleaveth fast unto him;
And now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.

9Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted,
Who did eat of my bread,
Hath lifted up his heel against me.

10But thou, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me, and raise me up,
That I may requite them.

11By this I know that thou delightest in me,
Because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.

12And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity,
And settest me before thy face for ever.

13Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel,
From everlasting and to everlasting.
Amen, and Amen.

Psalms 42

1As the hart panteth after the water brooks,
So panteth my soul after thee, O God.

2My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God:
When shall I come and appear before God?

3My tears have been my food day and night,
While they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?

4These 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.

5Why 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.

6O 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.

7Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterfalls:
All thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.

8[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.

9I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me?
Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

10As with a sword in my bones, mine adversaries reproach
me,
While they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?

11Why 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

1Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly
nation:
Oh deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.

2For thou art the God of my strength; why hast thou cast
me off?
Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

3Oh send out thy light and thy truth; let them lead me:
Let them bring me unto thy holy hill,
And to thy tabernacles.

4Then 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.

5Why 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 44

1We have heard with our ears, O God,
Our fathers have told us,
What work thou didst in their days,
In the days of old.

2Thou didst drive out the nations with thy hand;
But them thou didst plant:
Thou didst afflict the peoples;
But them thou didst spread abroad.

3For 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.

4Thou art my King, O God:
Command deliverance for Jacob.

5Through thee will we push down our adversaries:
Through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against
us.

6For I will not trust in my bow,
Neither shall my sword save me.

7But thou hast saved us from our adversaries,
And hast put them to shame that hate us.

8In God have we made our boast all the day long,
And we will give thanks unto thy name for ever.

Selah

9But now thou hast cast [us] off, and brought us to
dishonor,
And goest not forth with our hosts.

10Thou makest us to turn back from the adversary;
And they that hate us take spoil for themselves.

11Thou hast made us like sheep [appointed] for food,
And hast scattered us among the nations.

12Thou sellest thy people for nought,
And hast not increased [thy wealth] by their price.

13Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbors,
A scoffing and a derision to them that are round about us.

14Thou makest us a byword among the nations,
A shaking of the head among the peoples.

15All the day long is my dishonor before me,
And the shame of my face hath covered me,

16For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth,
By reason of the enemy and the avenger.

17All this is come upon us;
Yet have we not forgotten thee,
Neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.

18Our heart is not turned back,
Neither have our steps declined from thy way,

19That thou hast sore broken us in the place of jackals,
And covered us with the shadow of death.

20If we have forgotten the name of our God,
Or spread forth our hands to a strange god;

21Will not God search this out?
For he knoweth the secrets of the heart.

22Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long;
We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

23Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord?
Arise, cast [us] not off for ever.

24Wherefore hidest thou thy face,
And forgettest our affliction and our oppression?

25For our soul is bowed down to the dust:
Our body cleaveth unto the earth.

26Rise up for our help,
And redeem us for thy lovingkindness’ sake.

Psalms 45

1My 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.

2Thou art fairer than the children of men;
Grace is poured into thy lips:
Therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

3Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O mighty one,
Thy glory and thy majesty.

4And in thy majesty ride on prosperously,
Because of truth and meekness [and] righteousness:
And thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.

5Thine arrows are sharp;
The peoples fall under thee;
[They are] in the heart of the king’s enemies.

6Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever:
A sceptre of equity is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

7Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness:
Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee
With the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

8All thy garments [smell of] myrrh, and aloes, [and]
cassia;
Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee glad.

9Kings’ daughters are among thy honorable women:
At thy right hand doth stand the queen in gold of Ophir.

10Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear;
Forget also thine own people, and thy father’s house:

11So will the king desire thy beauty;
For he is thy lord; and reverence thou him.

12And the daughter of Tyre [shall be there] with a gift;
The rich among the people shall entreat thy favor.

13The king’s daughter within [the palace] is all glorious:
Her clothing is inwrought with gold.

14She shall be led unto the king in broidered work:
The virgins her companions that follow her
Shall be brought unto thee.

15With gladness and rejoicing shall they be led:
They shall enter into the king’s palace.

16Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children,
Whom thou shalt make princes in all the earth.

17I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations:
Therefore shall the peoples give thee thanks for ever and ever.
