1The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart,
There is no fear of God before his eyes.
2For he flattereth himself in his own eyes,
That his iniquity will not be found out and be hated.
3The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit:
He hath ceased to be wise [and] to do good.
4He deviseth iniquity upon his bed;
He setteth himself in a way that is not good;
He abhorreth not evil.
5Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, is in the heavens;
Thy faithfulness [reacheth] unto the skies.
6Thy righteousness is like the mountains of God;
Thy judgments are a great deep:
O Jehovah, thou preservest man and beast.
7How precious is thy lovingkindness, O God!
And the children of men take refuge under the shadow of thy
wings.
8They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of
thy house;
And thou wilt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.
9For with thee is the fountain of life:
In thy light shall we see light.
10Oh continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee,
And thy righteousness to the upright in heart.
11Let not the foot of pride come against me,
And let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12There are the workers of iniquity fallen:
They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise.
1Fret not thyself because of evil-doers,
Neither be thou envious against them that work unrighteousness.
2For they shall soon be cut down like the grass,
And wither as the green herb.
3Trust in Jehovah, and do good;
Dwell in the land, and feed on [his] faithfulness.
4Delight thyself also in Jehovah;
And he will give thee the desires of thy heart.
5Commit thy way unto Jehovah;
Trust also in him, and he will bring it to pass.
6And he will make thy righteousness to go forth as the
light,
And thy justice as the noon-day.
7Rest 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.
8Cease from anger, and forsake wrath:
Fret not thyself, [it tendeth] only to evil-doing.
9For evil-doers shall be cut off;
But those that wait for Jehovah, they shall inherit the land.
10For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be:
Yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and he shall not
be.
11But the meek shall inherit the land,
And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
12The wicked plotteth against the just,
And gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
13The Lord will laugh at him;
For he seeth that his day is coming.
14The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their
bow,
To cast down the poor and needy,
To slay such as are upright in the way.
15Their sword shall enter into their own heart,
And their bows shall be broken.
16Better is a little that the righteous hath
Than the abundance of many wicked.
17For the arms of the wicked shall be broken;
But Jehovah upholdeth the righteous.
18Jehovah knoweth the days of the perfect;
And their inheritance shall be for ever.
19They shall not be put to shame in the time of evil;
And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20But the wicked shall perish,
And the enemies of Jehovah shall be as the fat of lambs:
They shall consume;
In smoke shall they consume away.
21The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again;
But the righteous dealeth graciously, and giveth.
22For such as are blessed of him shall inherit the land;
And they that are cursed of him shall be cut off.
23A man’s goings are established of Jehovah;
And he delighteth in his way.
24Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down;
For Jehovah upholdeth him with his hand.
25I have been young, and now am old;
Yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken,
Nor his seed begging bread.
26All the day long he dealeth graciously, and lendeth;
And his seed is blessed.
27Depart from evil, and do good;
And dwell for evermore.
28For Jehovah loveth justice,
And forsaketh not his saints;
They are preserved for ever:
But the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
29The righteous shall inherit the land,
And dwell therein for ever.
30The mouth of the righteous talketh of wisdom,
And his tongue speaketh justice.
31The law of his God is in his heart;
None of his steps shall slide.
32The wicked watcheth the righteous,
And seeketh to slay him.
33Jehovah will not leave him in his hand,
Nor condemn him when he is judged.
34Wait 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.
35I have seen the wicked in great power,
And spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.
36But one passed by, and, lo, he was not:
Yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
37Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright;
For there is a [happy] end to the man of peace.
38As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together;
The end of the wicked shall be cut off.
39But the salvation of the righteous is of Jehovah;
He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.
40And Jehovah helpeth them, and rescueth them;
He rescueth them from the wicked, and saveth them,
Because they have taken refuge in him.
1O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thy wrath;
Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
2For thine arrows stick fast in me,
And thy hand presseth me sore.
3There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine
indignation;
Neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.
4For mine iniquities are gone over my head:
As a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
5My wounds are loathsome and corrupt,
Because of my foolishness.
6I am pained and bowed down greatly;
I go mourning all the day long.
7For my loins are filled with burning;
And there is no soundness in my flesh.
8I am faint and sore bruised:
I have groaned by reason of the disquietness of my heart.
9Lord, all my desire is before thee;
And my groaning is not hid from thee.
10My heart throbbeth, my strength faileth me:
As for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
11My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague;
And my kinsmen stand afar off.
12They also that seek after my life lay snares [for me];
And they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things,
And meditate deceits all the day long.
13But I, as a deaf man, hear not;
And I am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.
14Yea, I am as a man that heareth not,
And in whose mouth are no reproofs.
15For in thee, O Jehovah, do I hope:
Thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.
16For I said, Lest they rejoice over me:
When my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.
17For I am ready to fall,
And my sorrow is continually before me.
18For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my
sin.
19But mine enemies are lively, [and] are strong;
And they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
20They also that render evil for good
Are adversaries unto me, because I follow the thing that is good.
21Forsake me not, O Jehovah:
O my God, be not far from me.
22Make haste to help me,
O Lord, my salvation.
1I said, I will take heed to my ways,
That I sin not with my tongue:
I will keep my mouth with a bridle,
While the wicked is before me.
2I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good;
And my sorrow was stirred.
3My heart was hot within me;
While I was musing the fire burned:
[Then] spake I with my tongue:
4Jehovah, make me to know mine end,
And the measure of my days, what it is;
Let me know how frail I am.
5Behold, thou hast made my days [as] handbreadths;
And my life-time is as nothing before thee:
Surely every man at his best estate is altogether vanity.
Selah
6Surely every man walketh in a vain show;
Surely they are disquieted in vain:
He heapeth up [riches], and knoweth not who shall gather them.
7And now, Lord, what wait I for?
My hope is in thee.
8Deliver me from all my transgressions:
Make me not the reproach of the foolish.
9I was dumb, I opened not my mouth;
Because thou didst it.
10Remove thy stroke away from me:
I am consumed by the blow of thy hand.
11When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity,
Thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth:
Surely every man is vanity.
Selah
12Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, and give ear unto my cry;
Hold not thy peace at my tears:
For I am a stranger with thee,
A sojourner, as all my fathers were.
13Oh spare me, that I may recover strength,
Before I go hence, and be no more.
1I waited patiently for Jehovah;
And he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
2He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the
miry clay;
And he set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
3And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto
our God:
Many shall see it, and fear,
And shall trust in Jehovah.
4Blessed is the man that maketh Jehovah his trust,
And respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
5Many, O Jehovah my God, are the wonderful works which
thou hast done,
And thy thoughts which are to us-ward;
They cannot be set in order unto thee;
If I would declare and speak of them,
They are more than can be numbered.
6Sacrifice and offering thou hast no delight in;
Mine ears hast thou opened:
Burnt-offering and sin-offering hast thou not required.
7Then said I, Lo, I am come;
In the roll of the book it is written of me:
8I delight to do thy will, O my God;
Yea, thy law is within my heart.
9I have proclaimed glad tidings of righteousness in the
great assembly;
Lo, I will not refrain my lips,
O Jehovah, thou knowest.
10I 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.
11Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Jehovah;
Let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.
12For innumerable evils have compassed me about;
Mine iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look
up;
They are more than the hairs of my head;
And my heart hath failed me.
13Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me:
Make haste to help me, O Jehovah.
14Let 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.
15Let them be desolate by reason of their shame
That say unto me, Aha, aha.
16Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee:
Let such as love thy salvation say continually,
Jehovah be magnified.
17But I am poor and needy;
[Yet] the Lord thinketh upon me:
Thou art my help and my deliverer;
Make no tarrying, O my God.
