1In thee, O Jehovah, do I take refuge:
Let me never be put to shame.
2Deliver me in thy righteousness, and rescue me:
Bow down thine ear unto me, and save me.
3Be thou to me a rock of habitation, whereunto I may
continually resort:
Thou hast given commandment to save me;
For thou art my rock and my fortress.
4Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked,
Out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
5For thou art my hope, O Lord Jehovah:
[Thou art] my trust from my youth.
6By thee have I been holden up from the womb;
Thou art he that took me out of my mother’s bowels:
My praise shall be continually of thee.
7I am as a wonder unto many;
But thou art my strong refuge.
8My mouth shall be filled with thy praise,
And with thy honor all the day.
9Cast me not off in the time of old age;
Forsake me not when my strength faileth.
10For mine enemies speak concerning me;
And they that watch for my soul take counsel together,
11Saying, God hath forsaken him:
Pursue and take him; for there is none to deliver.
12O God, be not far from me;
O my God, make haste to help me.
13Let them be put to shame [and] consumed that are
adversaries to my soul;
Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor that seek my hurt.
14But I will hope continually,
And will praise thee yet more and more.
15My mouth shall tell of thy righteousness,
[And] of thy salvation all the day;
For I know not the numbers [thereof].
16I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord Jehovah:
I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.
17O God, thou hast taught me from my youth;
And hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.
18Yea, even when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake
me not,
Until I have declared thy strength unto [the next] generation,
Thy might to every one that is to come.
19Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high;
Thou who hast done great things, O God, who is like unto thee?
20Thou, who hast showed us many and sore troubles,
Wilt quicken us again,
And wilt bring us up again from the depths of the earth.
21Increase thou my greatness,
And turn again and comfort me.
22I will also praise thee with the psaltery,
[Even] thy truth, O my God:
Unto thee will I sing praises with the harp,
O thou Holy One of Israel.
23My lips shall shout for joy when I sing praises unto
thee;
And my soul, which thou hast redeemed.
24My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the
day long;
For they are put to shame, for they are confounded, that seek my
hurt.
1Give the king thy judgments, O God,
And thy righteousness unto the king’s son.
2He will judge thy people with righteousness,
And thy poor with justice.
3The mountains shall bring peace to the people,
And the hills, in righteousness.
4He will judge the poor of the people,
He will save the children of the needy,
And will break in pieces the oppressor.
5They shall fear thee while the sun endureth,
And so long as the moon, throughout all generations.
6He will come down like rain upon the mown grass,
As showers that water the earth.
7In his days shall the righteous flourish,
And abundance of peace, till the moon be no more.
8He shall have dominion also from sea to sea,
And from the River unto the ends of the earth.
9They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him;
And his enemies shall lick the dust.
10The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall render
tribute:
The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
11Yea, all kings shall fall down before him;
All nations shall serve him.
12For he will deliver the needy when he crieth,
And the poor, that hath no helper.
13He will have pity on the poor and needy,
And the souls of the needy he will save.
14He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence;
And precious will their blood be in his sight:
15And they shall live; and to him shall be given of the
gold of Sheba:
And men shall pray for him continually;
They shall bless him all the day long.
16There shall be abundance of grain in the earth upon the
top of the mountains;
The fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon:
And they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.
17His name shall endure for ever;
His name shall be continued as long as the sun:
And men shall be blessed in him;
All nations shall call him happy.
18Blessed be Jehovah God, the God of Israel,
Who only doeth wondrous things:
19And blessed be his glorious name for ever;
And let the whole earth be filled with his glory.
Amen, and Amen.
20The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
BOOK III
1Surely God is good to Israel,
[Even] to such as are pure in heart.
2But as for me, my feet were almost gone;
My steps had well nigh slipped.
3For I was envious at the arrogant,
When I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4For there are no pangs in their death;
But their strength is firm.
5They are not in trouble as [other] men;
Neither are they plagued like [other] men.
6Therefore pride is as a chain about their neck;
Violence covereth them as a garment.
7Their eyes stand out with fatness:
They have more than heart could wish.
8They scoff, and in wickedness utter oppression:
They speak loftily.
9They have set their mouth in the heavens,
And their tongue walketh through the earth.
10Therefore his people return hither:
And waters of a full [cup] are drained by them.
11And they say, How doth God know?
And is there knowledge in the Most High?
12Behold, these are the wicked;
And, being alway at ease, they increase in riches.
13Surely in vain have I cleansed my heart,
And washed my hands in innocency;
14For all the day long have I been plagued,
And chastened every morning.
15If I had said, I will speak thus;
Behold, I had dealt treacherously with the generation of thy
children.
16When I thought how I might know this,
It was too painful for me;
17Until I went into the sanctuary of God,
And considered their latter end.
18Surely thou settest them in slippery places:
Thou castest them down to destruction.
19How are they become a desolation in a moment!
They are utterly consumed with terrors.
20As a dream when one awaketh,
So, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou wilt despise their image.
21For my soul was grieved,
And I was pricked in my heart:
22So brutish was I, and ignorant;
I was [as] a beast before thee.
23Nevertheless I am continually with thee:
Thou hast holden my right hand.
24Thou wilt guide me with thy counsel,
And afterward receive me to glory.
25Whom have I in heaven [but thee]?
And there is none upon earth that I desire besides thee.
26My flesh and my heart faileth;
[But] God is the strength of my heart and my portion for ever.
27For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish:
Thou hast destroyed all them that play the harlot, [departing]
from thee.
28But it is good for me to draw near unto God:
I have made the Lord Jehovah my refuge,
That I may tell of all thy works.
1O God, why hast thou cast [us] off for ever?
Why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
2Remember thy congregation, which thou hast gotten of old,
Which thou hast redeemed to be the tribe of thine inheritance;
[And] mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.
3Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual ruins,
All the evil that the enemy hath done in the sanctuary.
4Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of thine
assembly;
They have set up their ensigns for signs.
5They seemed as men that lifted up
Axes upon a thicket of trees.
6And now all the carved work thereof
They break down with hatchet and hammers.
7They have set thy sanctuary on fire;
They have profaned the dwelling-place of thy name [by casting
it] to the ground.
8They said in their heart, Let us make havoc of them
altogether:
They have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
9We see not our signs:
There is no more any prophet;
Neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.
10How long, O God, shall the adversary reproach?
Shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?
11Why drawest thou back thy hand, even thy right hand?
[Pluck it] out of thy bosom [and] consume [them].
12Yet God is my King of old,
Working salvation in the midst of the earth.
13Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength:
Thou brakest the heads of the sea-monsters in the waters.
14Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces;
Thou gavest him to be food to the people inhabiting the
wilderness.
15Thou didst cleave fountain and flood:
Thou driedst up mighty rivers.
16The day is thine, the night also is thine:
Thou hast prepared the light and the sun.
17Thou hast set all the borders of the earth:
Thou hast made summer and winter.
18Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O Jehovah,
And that a foolish people hath blasphemed thy name.
19Oh deliver not the soul of thy turtle-dove unto the wild
beast:
Forget not the life of thy poor for ever.
20Have respect unto the covenant;
For the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of
violence.
21Oh let not the oppressed return ashamed:
Let the poor and needy praise thy name.
22Arise, O God, plead thine own cause:
Remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee all the day.
23Forget not the voice of thine adversaries:
The tumult of those that rise up against thee ascendeth
continually.
1We give thanks unto thee, O God;
We give thanks, for thy name is near:
Men tell of thy wondrous works.
2When I shall find the set time, I will judge uprightly.
3The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved:
I have set up the pillars of it.
Selah
4I said unto the arrogant, Deal not arrogantly;
And to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:
5Lift not up your horn on high;
Speak not with a stiff neck.
6For neither from the east, nor from the west,
Nor yet from the south, [cometh] lifting up.
7But God is the judge:
He putteth down one, and lifteth up another.
8For in the hand of Jehovah there is a cup, and the wine
foameth;
It is full of mixture, and he poureth out of the same:
Surely the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall
drain them, and drink them.
9But I will declare for ever,
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off;
But the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
