1Bow down thine ear, O Jehovah, and answer me;
For I am poor and needy.
2Preserve my soul; for I am godly:
O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
3Be merciful unto me, O Lord;
For unto thee do I cry all the day long.
4Rejoice the soul of thy servant;
For unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive,
And abundant in lovingkindness unto all them that call upon thee.
6Give ear, O Jehovah, unto my prayer;
And hearken unto the voice of my supplications.
7In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee;
For thou wilt answer me.
8There is none like unto thee among the gods, O Lord;
Neither [are there any works] like unto thy works.
9All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship
before thee, O Lord;
And they shall glorify thy name.
10For thou art great, and doest wondrous things:
Thou art God alone.
11Teach me thy way, O Jehovah; I will walk in thy truth:
Unite my heart to fear thy name.
12I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart;
And I will glorify thy name for evermore.
13For great is thy lovingkindness toward me;
And thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.
14O God, the proud are risen up against me,
And a company of violent men have sought after my soul,
And have not set thee before them.
15But thou, O Lord, art a God merciful and gracious,
Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness and truth.
16Oh turn unto me, and have mercy upon me;
Give thy strength unto thy servant,
And save the son of thy handmaid.
17Show me a token for good,
That they who hate me may see it, and be put to shame,
Because thou, Jehovah, hast helped me, and comforted me.
1His foundation is in the holy mountains.
2Jehovah loveth the gates of Zion
More than all the dwellings of Jacob.
3Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God.
Selah
4I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon as among them
that know me:
Behold, Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia:
This one was born there.
5Yea, of Zion it shall be said, This one and that one was
born in her;
And the Most High himself will establish her.
6Jehovah will count, when he writeth up the peoples,
This one was born there.
Selah
7They that sing as well as they that dance [shall say],
All my fountains are in thee.
1O Jehovah, the God of my salvation,
I have cried day and night before thee.
2Let my prayer enter into thy presence;
Incline thine ear unto my cry.
3For my soul is full of troubles,
And my life draweth nigh unto Sheol.
4I am reckoned with them that go down into the pit;
I am as a man that hath no help,
5Cast off among the dead,
Like the slain that lie in the grave,
Whom thou rememberest no more,
And they are cut off from thy hand.
6Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit,
In dark places, in the deeps.
7Thy wrath lieth hard upon me,
And thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves.
Selah
8Thou hast put mine acquaintance far from me;
Thou hast made me an abomination unto them:
I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.
9Mine eye wasteth away by reason of affliction:
I have called daily upon thee, O Jehovah;
I have spread forth my hands unto thee.
10Wilt thou show wonders to the dead?
Shall they that are decreased arise and praise thee?
Selah
11Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave?
Or thy faithfulness in Destruction?
12Shall thy wonders be known in the dark?
And thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
13But unto thee, O Jehovah, have I cried;
And in the morning shall my prayer come before thee.
14Jehovah, why castest thou off my soul?
Why hidest thou thy face from me?
15I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up:
While I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.
16Thy fierce wrath is gone over me;
Thy terrors have cut me off.
17They came round about me like water all the day long;
They compassed me about together.
18Lover and friend hast thou put far from me,
And mine acquaintance into darkness.
1I will sing of the lovingkindness of Jehovah for ever:
With my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all
generations.
2For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever;
Thy faithfulness wilt thou establish in the very heavens.
3I have made a covenant with my chosen,
I have sworn unto David my servant:
4Thy seed will I establish for ever,
And build up thy throne to all generations.
Selah
5And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O Jehovah;
Thy faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.
6For who in the skies can be compared unto Jehovah?
Who among the sons of the mighty is like unto Jehovah,
7A God very terrible in the council of the holy ones,
And to be feared above all them that are round about him?
8O Jehovah God of hosts,
Who is a mighty one, like unto thee, O Jehovah?
And thy faithfulness is round about thee.
9Thou rulest the pride of the sea:
When the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.
10Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain;
Thou hast scattered thine enemies with the arm of thy strength.
11The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine:
The world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.
12The north and the south, thou hast created them:
Tabor and Hermon rejoice in thy name.
13Thou hast a mighty arm;
Strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.
14Righteousness and justice are the foundation of thy
throne:
Lovingkindness and truth go before thy face.
15Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound:
They walk, O Jehovah, in the light of thy countenance.
16In thy name do they rejoice all the day;
And in thy righteousness are they exalted.
17For thou art the glory of their strength;
And in thy favor our horn shall be exalted.
18For our shield belongeth unto Jehovah;
And our king to the Holy One of Israel.
19Then thou spakest in vision to thy saints,
And saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty;
I have exalted one chosen out of the people.
20I have found David my servant;
With my holy oil have I anointed him:
21With whom my hand shall be established;
Mine arm also shall strengthen him.
22The enemy shall not exact from him,
Nor the son of wickedness afflict him.
23And I will beat down his adversaries before him,
And smite them that hate him.
24But my faithfulness and my lovingkindness shall be with
him;
And in my name shall his horn be exalted.
25I will set his hand also on the sea,
And his right hand on the rivers.
26He shall cry unto me, Thou art my Father,
My God, and the rock of my salvation.
27I also will make him [my] first-born,
The highest of the kings of the earth.
28My lovingkindness will I keep for him for evermore;
And my covenant shall stand fast with him.
29His seed also will I make to endure for ever,
And his throne as the days of heaven.
30If his children forsake my law,
And walk not in mine ordinances;
31If they break my statutes,
And keep not my commandments;
32Then will I visit their transgression with the rod,
And their iniquity with stripes.
33But my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him,
Nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
34My covenant will I not break,
Nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
35Once have I sworn by my holiness:
I will not lie unto David:
36His seed shall endure for ever,
And his throne as the sun before me.
37It shall be established for ever as the moon,
And [as] the faithful witness in the sky.
Selah
38But thou hast cast off and rejected,
Thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.
39Thou hast abhorred the covenant of thy servant:
Thou hast profaned his crown [by casting it] to the ground.
40Thou hast broken down all his hedges;
Thou hast brought his strongholds to ruin.
41All that pass by the way rob him:
He is become a reproach to his neighbors.
42Thou hast exalted the right hand of his adversaries;
Thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.
43Yea, thou turnest back the edge of his sword,
And hast not made him to stand in the battle.
44Thou hast made his brightness to cease,
And cast his throne down to the ground.
45The days of his youth hast thou shortened:
Thou hast covered him with shame.
Selah
46How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou hide thyself for ever?
[How long] shall thy wrath burn like fire?
47Oh remember how short my time is:
For what vanity hast thou created all the children of men!
48What man is he that shall live and not see death,
That shall deliver his soul from the power of Sheol?
Selah
49Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses,
Which thou swarest unto David in thy faithfulness?
50Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants;
How I do bear in my bosom [the reproach of] all the mighty
peoples,
51Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O Jehovah,
Wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.
52Blessed be Jehovah for evermore.
Amen, and Amen.
BOOK IV
1Lord, thou hast been our dwelling-place
In all generations.
2Before the mountains were brought forth,
Or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world,
Even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
3Thou turnest man to destruction,
And sayest, Return, ye children of men.
4For a thousand years in thy sight
Are but as yesterday when it is past,
And as a watch in the night.
5Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a
sleep:
In the morning they are like grass which groweth up.
6In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up;
In the evening it is cut down, and withereth.
7For we are consumed in thine anger,
And in thy wrath are we troubled.
8Thou hast set our iniquities before thee,
Our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
9For all our days are passed away in thy wrath:
We bring our years to an end as a sigh.
10The days of our years are threescore years and ten,
Or even by reason of strength fourscore years;
Yet is their pride but labor and sorrow;
For it is soon gone, and we fly away.
11Who knoweth the power of thine anger,
And thy wrath according to the fear that is due unto thee?
12So teach us to number our days,
That we may get us a heart of wisdom.
13Return, O Jehovah; how long?
And let it repent thee concerning thy servants.
14Oh satisfy us in the morning with thy lovingkindness,
That we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
15Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast
afflicted us,
And the years wherein we have seen evil.
16Let thy work appear unto thy servants,
And thy glory upon their children.
17And let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us;
And establish thou the work of our hands upon us;
Yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
