Psalm 1 - 72
Book One
1
Blessed is the man
who a walks not in b the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in c the way of sinners,
nor d sits in e the seat of f scoffers;
2
but his g delight is in the law of the Lord,
and on his h law he meditates day and night.
3
He is like i a tree
planted by j streams of water
that yields its fruit in its season,
and its k leaf does not wither.
l In all that he does, he prospers.
4
The wicked are not so,
but are like m chaff that the wind drives away.
5
Therefore the wicked n will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in o the congregation of the righteous;
6
for the Lord p knows q the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked will perish.
Psalms 2
1
r Why do s the nations rage
and the peoples plot in vain?
2
The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers take counsel together,
against the Lord and against his t Anointed, saying,
3
"Let us u burst their bonds apart
and cast away their cords from us."
4
He who v sits in the heavens w laughs;
the Lord holds them in derision.
5
Then he will speak to them in his x wrath,
and terrify them in his fury, saying,
6
"As for me, I have y set my King
on z Zion, my a holy hill."
7
I will tell of the decree:
The Lord said to me, b "You are my Son;
today I have begotten you.
8
Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage,
and c the ends of the earth your possession.
9
You shall d break them with e a rod of iron
and dash them in pieces like f a potter's vessel."
10
Now therefore, O kings, be wise;
be warned, O rulers of the earth.
11
g Serve the Lord with h fear,
and i rejoice with h trembling.
12
j Kiss k the Son,
lest he be angry, and you perish in the way,
for his l wrath is quickly kindled.
m Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
Psalms 3
A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.
1
O Lord, o how many are my foes!
Many are p rising against me;
2
many are saying of my soul,
q there is no salvation for him in God. Selah
3
But you, O Lord, are r a shield s about me,
my glory, and t the lifter of my head.
4
I u cried aloud to the Lord,
and he v answered me from his w holy hill. Selah
5
I x lay down and slept;
I woke again, for the Lord sustained me.
6
I y will not be afraid of many thousands of people
who have z set themselves against me all around.
7
a Arise, O Lord!
Save me, O my God!
For you b strike all my enemies on the cheek;
you c break the teeth of the wicked.
8
d Salvation belongs to the Lord;
your blessing be on your people! Selah
Psalms 4
To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.
1
Answer me when I call, O God of my f righteousness!
You have g given me relief when I was in distress.
Be gracious to me and hear my prayer!
2
O men, how long shall my honor be turned into shame?
How long will you love vain words and seek after h lies? Selah
3
But know that the Lord has i set apart j the godly for himself;
the Lord hears when I call to him.
4
k Be angry, and do not sin;
l ponder in your own hearts m on your beds, and be silent. Selah
5
Offer n right sacrifices,
and put your o trust in the Lord.
6
There are many who say, "Who will show us some good?
p Lift up q the light of your face upon us, O Lord!"
7
You have put r more joy in my heart
than they have when their grain and wine abound.
8
In peace I will both s lie down and sleep;
for you alone, O Lord, make me t dwell in safety.
Psalms 5
To the choirmaster: for the flutes. A Psalm of David.
1
Give ear to my words, O Lord;
consider my u groaning.
2
Give attention to the sound of my cry,
my v King and my God,
for w to you do I pray.
3
O Lord, in x the morning you hear my voice;
in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you and y watch.
4
For you are not a God who delights in wickedness;
evil may not dwell with you.
5
The z boastful shall not a stand before your eyes;
you b hate all evildoers.
6
You destroy those who speak c lies;
the Lord abhors d the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
7
But I, through the abundance of your steadfast love,
will enter your house.
I will e bow down f toward your g holy temple
in the fear of you.
8
h Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousness
because of my enemies;
i make your way straight before me.
9
For there is no truth in their mouth;
their inmost self is j destruction;
k their throat is l an open grave;
they m flatter with their tongue.
10
n Make them bear their guilt, O God;
let them o fall by their own counsels;
because of the abundance of their transgressions cast them out,
for they have rebelled against you.
11
But let all who p take refuge in you q rejoice;
let them ever sing for joy,
and spread your protection over them,
that those who love your name may r exult in you.
12
For you s bless the righteous, O Lord;
you t cover him with favor as with u a shield.
Psalms 6
To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments; according to The Sheminith. A Psalm of David.
1
O Lord, w rebuke me not in your anger,
nor x discipline me in your wrath.
2
Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am languishing;
y heal me, O Lord, z for my bones are troubled.
3
My a soul also is greatly troubled.
But you, O Lord - b how long?
4
Turn, O Lord, deliver my life;
save me for the sake of your steadfast love.
5
For in c death there is no remembrance of you;
in Sheol who will give you praise?
6
I am d weary with my e moaning;
every night I flood my bed with tears;
I drench my couch with my weeping.
7
My f eye wastes away because of grief;
it grows weak because of all my foes.
8
g Depart from me, all you h workers of evil,
for the Lord i has heard the sound of my weeping.
9
The Lord has heard my j plea;
the Lord accepts my prayer.
10
All my enemies shall be ashamed and greatly troubled;
they shall k turn back and be put to shame in a moment.
Psalms 7
A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the Lord concerning the words of Cush, a Benjaminite.
1
O Lord my God, in you do I m take refuge;
n save me from all my pursuers and deliver me,
2
lest like o a lion they tear my soul apart,
rending it in pieces, with p none to deliver.
3
O Lord my God, q if I have done this,
if there is r wrong in my hands,
4
if I have repaid s my friend with evil
or t plundered my enemy without cause,
5
let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake it,
and let him u trample my life to the ground
and lay my glory in the dust. Selah
6
v Arise, O Lord, in your anger;
w lift yourself up against the fury of my enemies;
x awake for me; you have appointed a judgment.
7
Let the assembly of the peoples be gathered about you;
over it return on high.
8
The Lord y judges the peoples;
z judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness
and according to the integrity that is in me.
9
Oh, let the evil of the wicked come to an end,
and may you establish the righteous -
you who a test b the minds and hearts,
O righteous God!
10
My shield is c with God,
who saves d the upright in heart.
11
God is e a righteous judge,
and a God who feels f indignation every day.
12
If a man does not repent, God will g whet his sword;
he has h bent and i readied his bow;
13
he has prepared for him his deadly weapons,
making his j arrows k fiery shafts.
14
Behold, the wicked man l conceives evil
and is l pregnant with mischief
and gives birth to lies.
15
He makes m a pit, digging it out,
and falls into the hole that he has made.
16
His n mischief returns upon his own head,
and on his own skull his violence descends.
17
I will give to the Lord the thanks due to his righteousness,
and I will o sing praise to the name of the Lord, the Most High.
Psalms 8
To the choirmaster: according to The Gittith. A Psalm of David.
1
O Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your q name in all the earth!
You have set your r glory above the heavens.
2
s Out of the mouth of babies and infants,
you have established t strength because of your foes,
to still u the enemy and the avenger.
3
When I v look at your heavens, the work of your w fingers,
the moon and the stars, x which you have set in place,
4
y what is man that you are z mindful of him,
and a the son of man that you b care for him?
5
Yet you have made him a little lower than c the heavenly beings
and crowned him with d glory and honor.
6
You have given him e dominion over the works of your hands;
f you have put all things under his feet,
7
all sheep and oxen,
and also the beasts of the field,
8
the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,
whatever passes along the paths of the seas.
9
O Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
Psalms 9
To the choirmaster: according to Muth-labben. A Psalm of David.
1
I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart;
I will recount all of your g wonderful deeds.
2
I will be glad and h exult in you;
I will i sing praise to your name, j O Most High.
3
When my enemies turn back,
they stumble and perish before your presence.
4
For you have k maintained my just cause;
you have l sat on the throne, giving righteous judgment.
5
You have m rebuked the nations; you have made the wicked perish;
you have n blotted out their name forever and ever.
6
The enemy came to an end in everlasting ruins;
their cities you rooted out;
the very memory of them has perished.
7
But the Lord sits enthroned forever;
he has established his throne for justice,
8
and he o judges the world with righteousness;
he p judges the peoples with uprightness.
9
The Lord is q a stronghold for r the oppressed,
a stronghold in s times of trouble.
10
And those who t know your name put their trust in you,
for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.
11
Sing praises to the Lord, who u sits enthroned in Zion!
Tell among the peoples his v deeds!
12
For he who w avenges blood is mindful of them;
he x does not forget the cry of the afflicted.
13
y Be gracious to me, O Lord!
See my affliction from those who hate me,
O you who lift me up from z the gates of death,
14
that I may recount all your praises,
that in the gates of a the daughter of Zion
I may b rejoice in your salvation.
15
The nations have sunk in c the pit that they made;
in d the net that they hid, their own foot has been caught.
16
The Lord has made himself e known; he has executed judgment;
the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands. Higgaion. Selah
17
The wicked shall f return to Sheol,
all the nations that g forget God.
18
For the needy shall not always be forgotten,
and h the hope of the poor shall not perish forever.
19
i Arise, O Lord! Let not j man prevail;
let the nations be judged before you!
20
Put them in fear, O Lord!
Let the nations know that they are but j men! Selah
Psalms 10
1
Why, O Lord, do you stand k far away?
Why l do you hide yourself in m times of trouble?
2
In arrogance the wicked hotly pursue the poor;
let them n be caught in the schemes that they have devised.
3
For the wicked o boasts of the desires of his soul,
and the one greedy for gain p curses and q renounces the Lord.
4
In the pride of his face the wicked does not q seek him;
all his thoughts are, r "There is no God."
5
His ways prosper at all times;
your judgments are on high, s out of his sight;
as for all his foes, he t puffs at them.
6
He u says in his heart, "I shall not be moved;
throughout all generations I v shall not meet adversity."
7
w His mouth is filled with cursing and x deceit and y oppression;
z under his tongue are a mischief and b iniquity.
8
He sits in ambush in the villages;
in c hiding places he murders the innocent.
His eyes stealthily watch for the helpless;
9
he lurks in ambush like d a lion in his e thicket;
he f lurks that he may seize the poor;
he seizes the poor when he draws him into his g net.
10
The helpless are crushed, sink down,
and fall by his might.
11
He says in his heart, "God has forgotten,
he has h hidden his face, he i will never see it."
12
j Arise, O Lord; O God, k lift up your hand;
l forget not the afflicted.
13
Why does the wicked m renounce God
and say in his heart, "You will not n call to account"?
14
But you do see, for you o note mischief and vexation,
that you may take it into your hands;
to you the helpless p commits himself;
you have been q the helper of the fatherless.
15
r Break the arm of the wicked and evildoer;
s call his wickedness to account till you find none.
16
t The Lord is king forever and ever;
the u nations perish from his land.
17
O Lord, you hear the desire of the afflicted;
you will v strengthen their heart; you will incline your ear
18
to w do justice to the fatherless and x the oppressed,
so that y man who is of the earth may strike terror no more.
Psalms 11
To the choirmaster. Of David.
1
In the Lord I take refuge;
how can you say to my soul,
z "Flee like a bird to your mountain,
2
for behold, the wicked a bend the bow;
b they have fitted their arrow to the string
to shoot in the dark at the upright in heart;
3
if c the foundations are destroyed,
what can the righteous do?"
4
d The Lord is in his holy temple;
the Lord's e throne is in heaven;
his eyes see, his eyelids f test the children of man.
5
The Lord g tests the righteous,
but h his soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence.
6
Let him rain coals on the wicked;
i fire and sulfur and a scorching wind shall be j the portion of their cup.
7
For the Lord is righteous;
he k loves righteous deeds;
l the upright shall behold his face.
Psalms 12
To the choirmaster: according to The Sheminith. A Psalm of David.
1
Save, O Lord, for m the godly one is gone;
for the faithful have vanished from among the children of man.
2
Everyone n utters lies to his neighbor;
with o flattering lips and p a double heart they speak.
3
May the Lord cut off all o flattering lips,
the tongue that makes q great boasts,
4
those who say, "With our tongue we will prevail,
our lips are with us; who is master over us?"
5
"Because r the poor are plundered, because the needy groan,
s I will now arise," says the Lord;
"I will place him in the t safety for which he longs."
6
u The words of the Lord are pure words,
like silver refined in a furnace on the ground,
purified seven times.
7
You, O Lord, will keep them;
you will guard us from this generation forever.
8
On every side the wicked prowl,
as vileness is exalted among the children of man.
Psalms 13
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
1
v How long, O Lord? Will you w forget me forever?
How long will you x hide your face from me?
2
How long must I take y counsel in my soul
and have sorrow in my heart all the day?
How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
3
z Consider and answer me, O Lord my God;
a light up my eyes, lest b I sleep the sleep of death,
4
c lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed over him,"
lest my foes rejoice because I am d shaken.
5
But I have e trusted in your steadfast love;
my heart shall f rejoice in your salvation.
6
I will sing to the Lord,
because he has dealt bountifully with me.
Psalms 14
To the choirmaster. Of David.
1
g The h fool says in his heart, i "There is no God."
They are j corrupt, they do abominable deeds,
k there is none who does good.
2
The Lord l looks down from heaven on the children of man,
to see if there are any who understand,
who m seek after God.
3
They have all turned aside; together they have become n corrupt;
there is none who does good,
not even one.
4
Have they no o knowledge, all the evildoers
who p eat up my people as they eat bread
and q do not call upon the Lord?
5
There they are in great terror,
for God is with r the generation of the righteous.
6
You would shame the plans of the poor,
but the Lord is his s refuge.
7
Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!
When the Lord t restores the fortunes of his people,
let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.
Psalms 15
A Psalm of David.
1
O Lord, u who shall sojourn in your v tent?
Who shall dwell on your w holy hill?
2
He who x walks blamelessly and y does what is right
and z speaks truth in his heart;
3
who a does not slander with his tongue
and does no evil to his neighbor,
nor b takes up a reproach against his friend;
4
c in whose eyes a vile person is despised,
but who honors those who fear the Lord;
who d swears to his own hurt and does not change;
5
who e does not put out his money at interest
and f does not take a bribe against the innocent.
He who does these things shall never be g moved.
Psalms 16
A Miktam of David.
1
Preserve me, O God, for in you I i take refuge.
2
I say to the Lord, "You are my Lord;
j I have no good apart from you."
3
As for k the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones,
in whom is all my delight.
4
The sorrows of those who run after another god shall multiply;
their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out
or l take their names on my lips.
5
The Lord is m my chosen portion and my n cup;
you hold my o lot.
6
p The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.
7
I bless the Lord who q gives me counsel;
in r the night also my s heart instructs me.
8
t I have u set the Lord always before me;
because he is at my v right hand, I shall not be w shaken.
9
Therefore my heart is glad, and my x whole being rejoices;
my flesh also dwells secure.
10
For you will not abandon my soul to y Sheol,
z or let your a holy one see b corruption.
11
You make known to me c the path of life;
in your presence there is d fullness of joy;
at your right hand are e pleasures forevermore.
Psalms 17
A Prayer of David.
1
Hear a just cause, O Lord; g attend to my cry!
Give ear to my prayer from lips free of deceit!
2
From your presence h let my vindication come!
Let your eyes behold the right!
3
You have i tried my heart, you have j visited me by k night,
you have l tested me, and you will find nothing;
I have purposed that my mouth will not transgress.
4
With regard to the works of man, by the word of your lips
I have avoided the ways of the violent.
5
My steps have m held fast to your paths;
my feet have not slipped.
6
I n call upon you, for you will answer me, O God;
o incline your ear to me; hear my words.
7
p Wondrously show your steadfast love,
O Savior of those who seek refuge
from q their adversaries at your right hand.
8
Keep me as r the apple of your eye;
hide me in s the shadow of your wings,
9
from the wicked who do me violence,
my deadly enemies who t surround me.
10
u They close their hearts to pity;
with their mouths they v speak arrogantly.
11
They have now surrounded our w steps;
they set their eyes to x cast us to the ground.
12
He is like a lion eager to tear,
as a young lion y lurking in ambush.
13
Arise, O Lord! Confront him, subdue him!
Deliver my soul from the wicked by your sword,
14
from men by your hand, O Lord,
from z men of the world whose a portion is in this life.
You fill their womb with treasure;
they are satisfied with b children,
and they leave their abundance to their infants.
15
As for me, I shall c behold your face in righteousness;
when I d awake, I shall be e satisfied with your likeness.
Psalms 18
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, the servant of the Lord, who addressed the words of this song to the Lord on the day when the Lord rescued him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. He said:
1
I love you, O Lord, my strength.
2
The Lord is my i rock and my j fortress and my deliverer,
my God, my i rock, in k whom I take refuge,
my l shield, and m the horn of my salvation, my n stronghold.
3
I call upon the Lord, who is o worthy to be praised,
and I am saved from my enemies.
4
p The cords of death encompassed me;
q the torrents of destruction assailed me;
5
p the cords of Sheol entangled me;
the snares of death confronted me.
6
r In my distress I called upon the Lord;
to my God I cried for help.
From his s temple he heard my voice,
and my cry to him reached his ears.
7
Then the earth t reeled and rocked;
the foundations also of the mountains trembled
and quaked, because he was angry.
8
Smoke went up from his nostrils,
and devouring u fire from his mouth;
glowing coals flamed forth from him.
9
He v bowed the heavens and w came down;
x thick darkness was under his feet.
10
He rode on a cherub and flew;
he came swiftly on z the wings of the wind.
11
He made darkness his covering, his a canopy around him,
thick clouds b dark with water.
12
Out of the brightness before him
c hailstones and coals of fire broke through his clouds.
13
The Lord also d thundered in the heavens,
and the Most High uttered his e voice,
hailstones and coals of fire.
14
And he sent out his f arrows and scattered them;
he flashed forth lightnings and g routed them.
15
Then h the channels of the sea were seen,
and the foundations of the world were laid bare
at your i rebuke, O Lord,
at the blast of j the breath of your nostrils.
16
He k sent from on high, he took me;
he l drew me out of m many waters.
17
He rescued me from my strong enemy
and from those who hated me,
for they were n too mighty for me.
18
They confronted me in the day of my calamity,
but the Lord was my support.
19
He brought me out into o a broad place;
he rescued me, because he p delighted in me.
20
The Lord dealt with me q according to my righteousness;
according to r the cleanness of my hands he rewarded me.
21
For I have s kept the ways of the Lord,
and have not wickedly departed from my God.
22
For t all his rules were before me,
and his statutes I did not put away from me.
23
I was u blameless before him,
and I kept myself from my guilt.
24
So the Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness,
according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
25
With v the merciful you show yourself merciful;
with the blameless man you show yourself blameless;
26
with the purified you show yourself pure;
and with w the crooked you make yourself seem tortuous.
27
For you save x a humble people,
but y the haughty eyes you bring down.
28
For it is you who light my z lamp;
the Lord my God lightens my darkness.
29
For by you I can run against a troop,
and by my God I can a leap over b a wall.
30
This God - his way is c perfect;
the word of the Lord d proves true;
he is e a shield for all those who f take refuge in him.
31
For g who is God, but the Lord?
And who is h a rock, except our God? -
32
the God who i equipped me with strength
and made my way j blameless.
33
He made my feet like the feet of a k deer
and set me secure on l the heights.
34
He m trains my hands for war,
so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
35
You have given me the shield of your salvation,
and your right hand n supported me,
and your o gentleness made me great.
36
You p gave a wide place for my steps under me,
and my feet did not slip.
37
I pursued my enemies and overtook them,
and did not turn back till they were consumed.
38
I thrust them through, so that they were not able to rise;
they fell under my feet.
39
For you equipped me with strength for the battle;
you made those who rise against me sink under me.
40
You made my enemies q turn their backs to me,
and those who hated me I destroyed.
41
r They cried for help, but there was none to save;
they cried to the Lord, but he did not answer them.
42
I beat them fine as s dust before the wind;
I cast them out like t the mire of the streets.
43
You delivered me from u strife with the people;
you made me v the head of the nations;
w people whom I had not known served me.
44
As soon as they heard of me they obeyed me;
x foreigners y came cringing to me.
45
x Foreigners lost heart
and z came trembling out of their fortresses.
46
The Lord lives, and blessed be my rock,
and exalted be the God of my salvation -
47
the God who gave me vengeance
and a subdued peoples under me,
48
who delivered me from my enemies;
yes, you b exalted me above those who rose against me;
you rescued me from c the man of violence.
49
d For this I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations,
and e sing to your name.
50
Great f salvation he brings to his king,
and shows steadfast love to his g anointed,
to h David and his offspring forever.
Psalms 19
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
1
i The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
2
Day to day pours out speech,
and night to night reveals knowledge.
3
There is no speech, nor are there words,
whose voice is not heard.
4
j Their k voice goes out through all the earth,
and their words to the end of the world.
In them he has set a tent for l the sun,
5
m which comes out like n a bridegroom leaving his chamber,
and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy.
6
Its rising is from the end of the heavens,
and its circuit to the end of them,
and there is nothing hidden from its heat.
7
o The law of the Lord is perfect,
p reviving the soul;
q the testimony of the Lord is r sure,
s making wise t the simple;
8
u the precepts of the Lord are right,
rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the Lord is v pure,
w enlightening the eyes;
9
the fear of the Lord is clean,
enduring forever;
the rules of the Lord are x true,
and righteous altogether.
10
More to be desired are they than y gold,
even much z fine gold;
a sweeter also than honey
and drippings of b the honeycomb.
11
Moreover, by them is your servant warned;
c in keeping them there is great reward.
12
d Who can discern his errors?
e Declare me innocent from f hidden faults.
13
g Keep back your servant also from h presumptuous sins;
let them not have i dominion over me!
Then I shall be blameless,
and innocent of great transgression.
14
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable in your sight,
O Lord, my j rock and my k redeemer.
Psalms 20
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
1
May the Lord l answer you in the day of trouble!
May m the name of the God of Jacob n protect you!
2
May he send you help from o the sanctuary
and give you support from p Zion!
3
May he q remember all your offerings
and regard with favor your burnt sacrifices! Selah
4
May he r grant you your heart's desire
and fulfill all your plans!
5
May we shout for joy over s your salvation,
and in the name of our God set up our t banners!
May the Lord fulfill all your petitions!
6
Now I know that the Lord saves his anointed;
he will answer him from his holy heaven
with u the saving might of his right hand.
7
Some trust in v chariots and some in w horses,
x but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.
8
They collapse and fall,
but we rise and stand upright.
9
O Lord, save y the king!
May he answer us when we call.
Psalms 21
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
1
O Lord, in your z strength the king rejoices,
and in your a salvation how greatly he exults!
2
You have b given him his heart's desire
and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah
3
For you c meet him with rich blessings;
you set d a crown of e fine gold upon his head.
4
He asked life of you; you f gave it to him,
g length of days forever and ever.
5
His h glory is great through your salvation;
i splendor and majesty you bestow on him.
6
For you make him most blessed forever;
you make him glad with the j joy of your presence.
7
For the king trusts in the Lord,
and through the steadfast love of the Most High he shall not be k moved.
8
Your hand will l find out all your enemies;
your right hand will find out those who hate you.
9
You will make them as m a blazing oven
when you appear.
The Lord will swallow them up in his n wrath,
and o fire will consume them.
10
You p will destroy their q descendants from the earth,
and their offspring from among the children of man.
11
Though they plan evil against you,
though they r devise mischief, they will not succeed.
12
For you will put them s to flight;
you will t aim at their faces with your bows.
13
Be exalted, O Lord, in your strength!
We will sing and praise your power.
Psalms 22
To the choirmaster: according to The Doe of the Dawn. A Psalm of David.
1
u My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Why are you so v far from saving me, from the words of my w groaning?
2
O my God, I cry by x day, but you do not answer,
and by night, but I find no rest.
3
Yet you are y holy,
z enthroned on a the praises of Israel.
4
In you our fathers trusted;
they trusted, and you delivered them.
5
To you they b cried and were rescued;
in you they c trusted and were not put to shame.
6
But I am d a worm and not a man,
e scorned by mankind and f despised by the people.
7
All who see me g mock me;
they make mouths at me; they h wag their heads;
8
i "He trusts in the Lord; let him j deliver him;
let him rescue him, for he k delights in him!"
9
Yet you are he who l took me from the womb;
you made me trust you at my mother's breasts.
10
On you was I cast from my birth,
and from m my mother's womb you have been my God.
11
Be not n far from me,
for trouble is near,
and there is o none to help.
12
Many bulls encompass me;
p strong bulls of q Bashan surround me;
13
they r open wide their mouths at me,
like a ravening and roaring lion.
14
I am s poured out like water,
and all my bones are t out of joint;
my u heart is like v wax;
it is melted within my breast;
15
my strength is w dried up like a potsherd,
and my x tongue sticks to my jaws;
you lay me in the dust of death.
16
For y dogs encompass me;
a company of evildoers z encircles me;
they have a pierced my hands and feet -
17
I can count all my bones -
they b stare and gloat over me;
18
c they divide my garments among them,
and for my clothing they cast lots.
19
But you, O Lord, n do not be far off!
O you my help, d come quickly to my aid!
20
Deliver my soul from the sword,
my precious life from the power of e the dog!
21
Save me from f the mouth of the lion!
You have rescued me from the horns of g the wild oxen!
22
h I will tell of your name to my i brothers;
in the midst of the congregation I will praise you:
23
You who j fear the Lord, praise him!
All you offspring of Jacob, k glorify him,
and stand in awe of him, all you offspring of Israel!
24
For he has not despised or abhorred
the affliction of l the afflicted,
and he has not m hidden his face from him,
but has heard, when he n cried to him.
25
From you comes my praise in the great o congregation;
my p vows I will q perform before those who fear him.
26
r The afflicted shall s eat and be satisfied;
those who seek him shall praise the Lord!
May your hearts t live forever!
27
All u the ends of the earth shall remember
and turn to the Lord,
and all v the families of the nations
shall worship before you.
28
For w kingship belongs to the Lord,
and he rules over the nations.
29
All x the prosperous of the earth eat and worship;
before him shall y bow all who go down to the dust,
even the one who could not z keep himself alive.
30
Posterity shall serve him;
it shall be told of the Lord to the coming a generation;
31
they shall b come and proclaim his righteousness to a people yet c unborn,
that he has done it.
Psalms 23
A Psalm of David.
1
The Lord is my d shepherd; I shall not e want.
2
He makes me lie down in green f pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.
3
He g restores my soul.
He h leads me in i paths of righteousness
for his j name's sake.
4
Even though I k walk through the valley of l the shadow of death,
I will m fear no evil,
for n you are with me;
your o rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
5
You p prepare a table before me
in q the presence of my enemies;

6
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I shall t dwell in the house of the Lord
u forever.
Psalms 24
A Psalm of David.
1
v The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof,
the world and those who dwell therein,
2
for he has w founded it upon x the seas

3
y Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord?
And who shall stand in his z holy place?
4
a He who has b clean hands and c a pure heart,
who does not d lift up his soul to e what is false
and does not swear deceitfully.
5
He will receive f blessing from the Lord
and g righteousness from h the God of his salvation.
6
Such is i the generation of those who seek him,

7
k Lift up your heads, O gates!

9

Of David.
1
To you, O Lord, I o lift up my soul.
2
O my God, in you I p trust;
q let me not be put to shame;
r let not my enemies exult over me.
3
Indeed, s none who wait for you shall be put to shame;
they shall be ashamed who are t wantonly u treacherous.
4
v Make me to know your ways, O Lord;
teach me your paths.
5
Lead me in your w truth and teach me,
for you are the God of my salvation;
for you I wait all the day long.
6
Remember your x mercy, O Lord, and your steadfast love,
y for they have been from of old.
7
Remember not z the sins of my youth or my transgressions;
according to your a steadfast love remember me,
for the sake of your goodness, O Lord!
8
b Good and upright is the Lord;
therefore he c instructs sinners in the way.
9
He leads the humble in what is right,
and teaches the humble his way.
10
All the paths of the Lord are d steadfast love and faithfulness,
for those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11
For your e name's sake, O Lord,
pardon my guilt, for it is f great.
12
Who is the man who fears the Lord?
Him c will he instruct in the way that he should choose.
13
His soul shall g abide in well-being,
and his h offspring i shall inherit the land.
14
j The friendship of the Lord is for those who fear him,
and he makes known to them his covenant.
15
My k eyes are ever toward the Lord,
for he will l pluck my feet out of the net.
16
m Turn to me and be gracious to me,
for I am lonely and afflicted.
17
The troubles of my heart are enlarged;
bring me out of my distresses.
18
n Consider my affliction and my trouble,
and forgive all my sins.
19
Consider how many are my foes,
and with what violent hatred they hate me.
20
Oh, guard my soul, and deliver me!
o Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in you.
21
May integrity and uprightness preserve me,

22
p Redeem Israel, O God,

Psalms 26
Of David.
1
q Vindicate me, O Lord,
for I have r walked in my integrity,
and I have s trusted in the Lord without wavering.
2
t Prove me, O Lord, and try me;
test my heart and u my mind.
3
For your v steadfast love is before my eyes,
and I w walk in your v faithfulness.
4
I do not x sit with men of y falsehood,
nor do I consort with hypocrites.
5
I z hate the assembly of evildoers,
and I will not sit with the wicked.
6
I a wash my hands in innocence
and go around your altar, O Lord,
7
proclaiming thanksgiving aloud,
and telling all your b wondrous deeds.
8
O Lord, I c love the habitation of your house
and the place where your glory dwells.
9
d Do not sweep my soul away with sinners,

10
in whose hands are evil devices,
and whose right hands are full of e bribes.
11
But as for me, I shall walk in my integrity;

12
My foot stands on f level ground;
in g the great assembly I will bless the Lord.
Psalms 27
Of David.
1
The Lord is my h light and my i salvation;
j whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid?
2
When evildoers assail me
to k eat up my flesh,
my adversaries and foes,
it is they who stumble and fall.
3
l Though an army encamp against me,
my heart shall not fear;
though war arise against me,
yet I will be confident.
4
m One thing have I asked of the Lord,
that will I seek after:
that I may n dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to gaze upon o the beauty of the Lord
and to inquire in his temple.
5
For he will p hide me in his shelter
in the day of trouble;
he will conceal me under the cover of his tent;
he will q lift me high upon a rock.
6
And now my r head shall be lifted up
above my enemies all around me,
and I will offer in his tent
sacrifices with shouts of s joy;
t I will sing and make melody to the Lord.
7
u Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud;
be gracious to me and answer me!
8
You have said, v "Seek my face."
My heart says to you,
"Your face, Lord, do I seek."
9
w Hide not your face from me.
Turn not your servant away in anger,
O you who have been my help.
Cast me not off; forsake me not,
x O God of my salvation!
10
For y my father and my mother have forsaken me,
but the Lord will z take me in.
11
a Teach me your way, O Lord,
and lead me on b a level path
because of my enemies.
12
c Give me not up to the will of my adversaries;
for d false witnesses have risen against me,
and they e breathe out violence.
13
I believe that I shall look upon f the goodness of the Lord
in g the land of the living!
14
h Wait for the Lord;
i be strong, and let your heart take courage;

Psalms 28
Of David.
1
To you, O Lord, I call;
j my rock, be not deaf to me,
lest, if you k be silent to me,
I become like those who l go down to the pit.
2
m Hear the voice of my pleas for mercy,
when I cry to you for help,
when I n lift up my hands
o toward your most holy sanctuary.
3
Do not p drag me off with the wicked,
with the workers of evil,
q who speak peace with their neighbors
while evil is in their hearts.
4
r Give to them according to their work
and according to the evil of their deeds;
give to them according to the work of their hands;
s render them their due reward.
5
Because they t do not regard the works of the Lord
or the work of his hands,
he will tear them down and build them up no more.
6
Blessed be the Lord!
For he has u heard the voice of my pleas for mercy.
7
The Lord is my strength and v my shield;
in him my heart w trusts, and I am helped;
my heart exults,
and with my x song I give thanks to him.
8
The Lord is the strength of his people;

9
Oh, save your people and bless z your heritage!
a Be their shepherd and b carry them forever.
Psalms 29
A Psalm of David.
1
Ascribe to the Lord, O heavenly beings,
c ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
2
Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
worship the Lord in d the splendor of holiness.
3
The voice of the Lord is over e the waters;
the God of glory f thunders,
the Lord, over many waters.
4
The voice of the Lord is g powerful;
the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.
5
The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;
the Lord breaks h the cedars of Lebanon.
6
He makes Lebanon to i skip like a calf,
and j Sirion like a young k wild ox.
7
The voice of the Lord flashes forth flames of fire.
8
The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness;
the Lord shakes the wilderness of l Kadesh.
9
The voice of the Lord makes m the deer give birth
and strips the forests bare,
and in his temple all cry, "Glory!"
10
The Lord sits enthroned over n the flood;
the Lord sits enthroned o as king forever.
11
May the Lord give p strength to his people!
May the Lord bless his people with q peace!
Psalms 30
A Psalm of David. A song at the dedication of the temple.
1
I will s extol you, O Lord, for you have drawn me up
and have not let my foes t rejoice over me.
2
O Lord my God, I u cried to you for help,
and you have v healed me.
3
O Lord, you have brought up my soul from w Sheol;
you restored me to life from among those who x go down to the pit.
4
Sing praises to the Lord, O you y his saints,
and z give thanks to his holy name.
5
a For his anger is but for a moment,
and b his favor is for a lifetime.
c Weeping may tarry for the night,
but d joy comes with the morning.
6
As for me, I said in my e prosperity,
"I shall never be f moved."
7
By your favor, O Lord,
you made my g mountain stand strong;
you h hid your face;
I was i dismayed.
8
To you, O Lord, I cry,
and j to the Lord I plead for mercy:
9
"What profit is there in my death,
if I go down to the pit?
Will k the dust praise you?
Will it tell of your faithfulness?
10
l Hear, O Lord, and be merciful to me!
O Lord, be my helper!"
11
You have turned for me my mourning into m dancing;
you have loosed my sackcloth
and clothed me with gladness,
12
that my n glory may sing your praise and not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever!
Psalms 31
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
1
o In you, O Lord, do I p take refuge;
q let me never be put to shame;
in your r righteousness deliver me!
2
Incline your ear to me;
rescue me speedily!
Be s a rock of t refuge for me,
a strong fortress to save me!
3
For you are my rock and my fortress;
and for your u name's sake you lead me and guide me;
4
you v take me out of w the net they have hidden for me,
for you are my x refuge.
5
y Into your hand I commit my spirit;
you have redeemed me, O Lord, z faithful God.
6
I a hate those who pay b regard to worthless c idols,
but I trust in the Lord.
7
I will rejoice and be glad in your steadfast love,
because you have seen my affliction;
you have d known the distress of my soul,
8
and you have not e delivered me into the hand of the enemy;
you have set my feet in f a broad place.
9
Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am g in distress;
h my eye is wasted from grief;
my soul and my body also.
10
For my life is spent with sorrow,
and my years with sighing;
my strength fails because of my iniquity,
and i my bones waste away.
11
Because of all my adversaries I have become j a reproach,
especially to my k neighbors,
and an object of dread to my acquaintances;
those who see me in the street l flee from me.
12
I have been m forgotten like one who is dead;
I have become like n a broken vessel.
13
For I o hear the whispering of many -
terror on every side! -
p as they scheme together against me,
as they plot to take my life.
14
But I q trust in you, O Lord;
I say, "You are my God."
15
My r times are in your hand;
s rescue me from the hand of my enemies and from my persecutors!
16
t Make your face shine on your servant;
save me in your steadfast love!
17
O Lord, u let me not be put to shame,
for I call upon you;
let the wicked be put to shame;
let them go v silently to Sheol.
18
Let the lying lips be mute,
which w speak x insolently against the righteous
in pride and contempt.
19
Oh, how abundant is your goodness,
which you have stored up for those who fear you
and worked for those who take refuge in you,
y in the sight of the children of mankind!
20
In z the cover of your presence you hide them
from the plots of men;
you a store them in your shelter
from the strife of tongues.
21
Blessed be the Lord,
for he has wondrously b shown his steadfast love to me
when I was in c a besieged city.
22
I had said in my d alarm,
"I am e cut off from f your sight."
But you heard the voice of my pleas for mercy
when I cried to you for help.
23
Love the Lord, all you his g saints!
The Lord preserves the faithful
but abundantly h repays the one who acts in pride.
24
i Be strong, and let your heart take courage,
all you who wait for the Lord!
Psalms 32
A Maskil of David.
1
j Blessed is the one whose k transgression is forgiven,
whose sin is covered.
2
Blessed is the man against whom the Lord l counts no iniquity,
and in whose spirit m there is no deceit.
3
For when I kept silent, my n bones wasted away
through my o groaning all day long.
4
For day and night your p hand was heavy upon me;
my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer. Selah
5
I q acknowledged my sin to you,
and I did not cover my iniquity;
I said, "I r will confess my transgressions to the Lord,"
and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah
6
Therefore let everyone who is s godly
offer prayer to you at a time when you t may be found;
surely in the rush of u great waters,
they shall not reach him.
7
You are a v hiding place for me;
you preserve me from w trouble;
you surround me with x shouts of deliverance. Selah
8
I will y instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will z counsel you with my eye upon you.
9
a Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding,
which must be curbed with b bit and bridle,
or it will not stay near you.
10
c Many are the sorrows of the wicked,
but steadfast love surrounds the one who d trusts in the Lord.
11
e Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous,
and f shout for joy, all you g upright in heart!
Psalms 33
1
h Shout for joy in the Lord, O you righteous!
i Praise befits the upright.
2
Give thanks to the Lord with the j lyre;
make melody to him with j the harp of k ten strings!
3
Sing to him l a new song;
play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts.
4
For the word of the Lord is upright,
and all his work is done in m faithfulness.
5
He n loves righteousness and justice;
o the earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord.
6
By p the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
and by q the breath of his mouth all r their host.
7
He gathers the waters of the sea as s a heap;
he t puts the deeps in storehouses.
8
Let all the earth fear the Lord;
let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him!
9
For u he spoke, and it came to be;
he commanded, and it stood firm.
10
The Lord v brings the counsel of the nations to nothing;
he frustrates the plans of the peoples.
11
w The counsel of the Lord stands forever,
the plans of his heart to all generations.
12
x Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
the people whom he has y chosen as his heritage!
13
The Lord z looks down from heaven;
he sees all the children of man;
14
from a where he sits enthroned he b looks out
on all the inhabitants of the earth,
15
he who fashions the hearts of them all
and observes all their deeds.
16
c The king is not saved by his great army;
a warrior is not delivered by his great strength.
17
d The war horse is a false hope for salvation,
and by its great might it cannot rescue.
18
Behold, e the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him,
f on those who hope in his steadfast love,
19
that he may g deliver their soul from death
and keep them alive in h famine.
20
Our soul i waits for the Lord;
he is our j help and k our shield.
21
For our heart is l glad in him,
because we m trust in his holy name.
22
Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us,
even as we hope in you.
Psalms 34
Of David, when he changed his behavior before Abimelech, so that he drove him out, and he went away.
1
I will bless the Lord p at all times;
his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2
My soul q makes its boast in the Lord;
let the humble hear and r be glad.
3
Oh, s magnify the Lord with me,
and let us exalt his name together!
4
I t sought the Lord, and he answered me
and delivered me from all my fears.
5
Those who look to him are u radiant,
and their faces shall never be ashamed.
6
v This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him
and w saved him out of all his troubles.
7
x The angel of the Lord y encamps
around those who fear him, and delivers them.
8
Oh, z taste and see that a the Lord is good!
b Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!
9
Oh, fear the Lord, you his saints,
for those who fear him have no lack!
10
c The young lions suffer want and hunger;
but those who d seek the Lord lack no good thing.
11
e Come, O children, listen to me;
f I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
12
g What man is there who desires life
and loves many days, that he may h see good?
13
i Keep your tongue from evil
and your lips from j speaking deceit.
14
k Turn away from evil and do good;
seek peace and l pursue it.
15
m The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous
n and his ears toward their cry.
16
o The face of the Lord is against those who do evil,
to p cut off the memory of them from the earth.
17
n When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears
and delivers them out of all their troubles.
18
The Lord is near to q the brokenhearted
and saves r the crushed in spirit.
19
s Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
t but the Lord delivers him out of them all.
20
He keeps all his bones;
u not one of them is broken.
21
v Affliction will slay the wicked,
and those who hate the righteous will be condemned.
22
The Lord w redeems the life of his servants;
none of those who take refuge in him will be x condemned.
Psalms 35
Of David.
1
Contend, O Lord, with those who y contend with me;
z fight against those who fight against me!
2
Take hold of a shield and buckler
and rise for my help!
3
Draw the spear and javelin
against my pursuers!
Say to my soul,
"I am your salvation!"
4
b Let them be c put to shame and dishonor
who seek after my life!
Let them be d turned back and disappointed
who devise evil against me!
5
Let them be like e chaff before the wind,
with the angel of the Lord driving them away!
6
Let their way be dark and f slippery,
with the angel of the Lord pursuing them!
7
For g without cause h they hid their net for me;
without cause they dug i a pit for my life.
8
Let j destruction come upon him k when he does not know it!
And let the net that he hid ensnare him;
let him fall into it - to his destruction!
9
Then my soul will rejoice in the Lord,
l exulting in his salvation.
10
All my m bones shall say,
"O Lord, n who is like you,
delivering the poor
from him who is too strong for him,
the poor and needy from him who robs him?"
11
o Malicious witnesses rise up;
they ask me of things that I do not know.
12
p They repay me evil for good;
my soul is bereft.
13
But I, q when they were sick -
I r wore sackcloth;
I s afflicted myself with fasting;
I prayed t with head bowed on my chest.
14
I went about as though I grieved for my friend or my brother;
as one who laments his mother,
I u bowed down in mourning.
15
But at my stumbling they rejoiced and gathered;
they gathered together against me;
v wretches whom I did not know
tore at me without ceasing;
16
like profane mockers at a feast,
they w gnash at me with their teeth.
17
How long, O Lord, will you x look on?
Rescue me from their destruction,
y my precious life from the lions!
18
I will thank you in z the great congregation;
in the mighty throng I will praise you.
19
a Let not those rejoice over me
who are b wrongfully my foes,
and let not those c wink the eye
who d hate me e without cause.
20
For they do not speak peace,
but against those who are quiet in the land
they devise words of deceit.
21
They f open wide their mouths against me;
they say, g "Aha, Aha!
Our eyes have seen it!"
22
h You have seen, O Lord; i be not silent!
O Lord, j be not far from me!
23
Awake and k rouse yourself for l my vindication,
for my cause, my God and my Lord!
24
m Vindicate me, O Lord, my God,
according to your righteousness,
and n let them not rejoice over me!
25
Let them not say in their hearts,
o "Aha, our heart's desire!"
Let them not say, p "We have swallowed him up."
26
Let them be q put to shame and disappointed altogether
who rejoice at my calamity!
Let them be r clothed with shame and dishonor
who s magnify themselves against me!
27
Let those who delight in my righteousness
shout for joy and be glad
t and say evermore,
u "Great is the Lord,
who v delights in the welfare of his servant!"
28
Then my w tongue shall tell of your righteousness
and of your praise all the day long.
Psalms 36
To the choirmaster. Of David, the servant of the Lord.
1
Transgression speaks to the wicked
deep in his heart;
y there is no fear of God
before his eyes.
2
z For he flatters himself in his own eyes
that his iniquity cannot be found out and hated.
3
The words of his mouth are a trouble and deceit;
b he has ceased to act wisely and do good.
4
He c plots d trouble while on his bed;
he sets himself in e a way that is not good;
f he does not reject evil.
5
Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens,
your faithfulness to the clouds.
6
g Your righteousness is like the mountains of God;
h your judgments are like the great deep;
man and beast you i save, O Lord.
7
j How precious is your steadfast love, O God!
The children of mankind take refuge k in the shadow of your wings.
8
They feast on l the abundance of your house,
and you give them drink from m the river of n your delights.
9
For with you is o the fountain of life;
p in your light do we see light.
10
Oh, continue your steadfast love to those who q know you,
and your righteousness to r the upright of heart!
11
Let not the foot of arrogance come upon me,
nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12
There s the evildoers lie fallen;
they are thrust down, t unable to rise.
Psalms 37
Of David.
1
u Fret not yourself because of evildoers;
be not v envious of wrongdoers!
2
For they will soon w fade like x the grass
and wither y like the green herb.
3
z Trust in the Lord, and do good;
a dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness.
4
b Delight yourself in the Lord,
and he will c give you the desires of your heart.
5
d Commit your way to the Lord;
z trust in him, and he will act.
6
e He will bring forth your righteousness as the light,
and your justice as f the noonday.
7
g Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him;
h fret not yourself over the one who i prospers in his way,
over the man who carries out evil devices!
8
j Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath!
h Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil.
9
k For the evildoers shall be cut off,
but those who wait for the Lord shall l inherit the land.
10
In m just a little while, the wicked will be no more;
though you look carefully at n his place, he will not be there.
11
But o the meek shall inherit the land
and delight themselves in p abundant peace.
12
The wicked q plots against the righteous
and r gnashes his teeth at him,
13
but the Lord s laughs at the wicked,
for he sees that his t day is coming.
14
The wicked draw the sword and u bend their bows
to bring down the poor and needy,
to slay those whose v way is upright;
15
their sword shall enter their own heart,
and their w bows shall be broken.
16
x Better is the little that the righteous has
than the abundance of many wicked.
17
For y the arms of the wicked shall be broken,
but the Lord z upholds the righteous.
18
The Lord a knows the days of the blameless,
and their b heritage will remain forever;
19
they are not put to shame in evil times;
in c the days of famine they have abundance.
20
But the wicked will perish;
the enemies of the Lord are like d the glory of the pastures;
they vanish - like e smoke they vanish away.
21
The wicked borrows but does not pay back,
but the righteous f is generous and gives;
22
for those blessed by the Lord shall g inherit the land,
but those cursed by him h shall be cut off.
23
The i steps of a man are j established by the Lord,
when he delights in his way;
24
k though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong,
for the Lord l upholds his hand.
25
I have been young, and now am old,
yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken
or his children m begging for bread.
26
He is ever n lending generously,
and his children become a blessing.
27
o Turn away from evil and do good;
so shall you p dwell forever.
28
For the Lord q loves justice;
he will not forsake his r saints.
They are preserved forever,
but the children of the wicked shall be s cut off.
29
The righteous shall inherit the land
and p dwell upon it forever.
30
The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom,
and his tongue speaks justice.
31
t The law of his God is in his heart;
his u steps do not slip.
32
The wicked v watches for the righteous
and seeks to put him to death.
33
The Lord will not w abandon him to his power
or let him x be condemned when he is brought to trial.
34
y Wait for the Lord and keep his way,
and he will exalt you to inherit the land;
you will look on z when the wicked are cut off.
35
a I have seen a wicked, ruthless man,
spreading himself like b a green laurel tree.
36
But he passed away, and behold, c he was no more;
though I sought him, he could not be found.
37
Mark the blameless and behold the upright,
for there is a future for the man of d peace.
38
But e transgressors shall be altogether destroyed;
the future of the wicked f shall be cut off.
39
g The salvation of the righteous is from the Lord;
he is their stronghold in h the time of trouble.
40
The Lord helps them and i delivers them;
j he delivers them from the wicked and saves them,
because they k take refuge in him.
Psalms 38
A Psalm of David, for the memorial offering.
1
O Lord, m rebuke me not in your anger,
nor discipline me in your wrath!
2
For your n arrows have sunk into me,
and your hand o has come down on me.
3
There is p no soundness in my flesh
because of your indignation;
there is no health in my q bones
because of my sin.
4
For my r iniquities have gone over my head;
like a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.
5
My wounds stink and fester
because of my foolishness,
6
I am s utterly bowed down and t prostrate;
all the day I u go about mourning.
7
For my sides are filled with burning,
and there is p no soundness in my flesh.
8
I am feeble and crushed;
I v groan because of the tumult of my heart.
9
O Lord, all my longing is before you;
my w sighing is not hidden from you.
10
My heart throbs; my strength fails me,
and x the light of my eyes - it also has gone from me.
11
My y friends and companions z stand aloof from my a plague,
and my nearest kin b stand far off.
12
Those who seek my life c lay their snares;
those who seek my hurt d speak of ruin
and meditate e treachery all day long.
13
But I am like a deaf man; I do not hear,
like f a mute man who does not open his mouth.
14
I have become like a man who does not hear,
and in whose mouth are no g rebukes.
15
But for h you, O Lord, do I wait;
it is you, O Lord my God, who will answer.
16
For I said, "Only i let them not rejoice over me,
who j boast against me when my k foot slips!"
17
For I am l ready to fall,
and my pain is ever before me.
18
I m confess my iniquity;
I am n sorry for my sin.
19
But my foes are vigorous, they are mighty,
and many are those who hate me o wrongfully.
20
Those who p render me evil for good
q accuse me because I r follow after good.
21
Do not forsake me, O Lord!
O my God, be not s far from me!
22
t Make haste to help me,
O Lord, my u salvation!
Psalms 39
To the choirmaster: to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
1
I said, "I will w guard my ways,
that I x may not sin with my tongue;
I will y guard my mouth with a muzzle,
so long as the wicked are in my presence."
2
I was z mute and silent;
I held my peace to no avail,
and my distress grew worse.
3
My a heart became hot within me.
As I mused, the fire burned;
then I spoke with my tongue:
4
"O Lord, b make me know my end
and what is the measure of my days;
let me know how fleeting I am!
5
Behold, you have made my days a few handbreadths,
and c my lifetime is as nothing before you.
Surely d all mankind stands as a mere breath! Selah
6
Surely a man e goes about as a shadow!
Surely for nothing they are in turmoil;
man f heaps up wealth and does not know who will gather!
7
"And now, O Lord, for what do I wait?
g My hope is in you.
8
Deliver me from all my transgressions.
h Do not make me the scorn of the fool!
9
i I am mute; I do not open my mouth,
j for it is you who have done it.
10
k Remove your stroke from me;
I am spent by the hostility of your hand.
11
When you discipline a man
with l rebukes for sin,
you m consume like a n moth what is dear to him;
o surely all mankind is a mere breath! Selah
12
p "Hear my prayer, O Lord,
and give ear to my cry;
hold not your peace at my tears!
For I am q a sojourner with you,
q a guest, like all my fathers.
13
r Look away from me, that I may smile again,
s before I depart and t am no more!"
Psalms 40
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
1
I u waited patiently for the Lord;
he inclined to me and v heard my cry.
2
He drew me up from w the pit of destruction,
out of x the miry bog,
and y set my feet upon a rock,
z making my steps secure.
3
He put a a new song in my mouth,
a song of praise to our God.
Many will b see and fear,
and put their trust in the Lord.
4
Blessed is the man who c makes
the Lord his trust,
who does not turn to the proud,
to those who d go astray after a lie!
5
You have multiplied, O Lord my God,
your e wondrous deeds and your f thoughts toward us;
none can compare with you!
I will proclaim and tell of them,
yet they are g more than can be told.
6
h In sacrifice and offering you have not delighted,
but you have given me an open i ear.
Burnt offering and sin offering
you have not required.
7
Then I said, "Behold, I have come;
in the scroll of the book it is written j of me:
8
k I delight to do your will, O my God;
your law is l within my heart."
9
I have told the glad news of deliverance
in m the great congregation;
behold, I have not n restrained my lips,
o as you know, O Lord.
10
I have not hidden your deliverance within my heart;
I have spoken of your faithfulness and your salvation;
I have not concealed your steadfast love and your faithfulness
from the great congregation.
11
As for you, O Lord, you will not restrain
your mercy from me;
your p steadfast love and your faithfulness will
ever preserve me!
12
For evils have q encompassed me
beyond number;
my r iniquities have overtaken me,
and I cannot s see;
they are t more than the hairs of my head;
my heart u fails me.
13
v Be pleased, O Lord, to w deliver me!
O Lord, x make haste to help me!
14
y Let those be put to shame and disappointed altogether
who seek to snatch away my life;
let those be z turned back and brought to dishonor
who delight in my hurt!
15
Let those be appalled because of their shame
who a say to me, "Aha, Aha!"
16
But may all who seek you
rejoice and be glad in you;
may those who love your salvation
b say continually, "Great is the Lord!"
17
As for me, I am c poor and needy,
but d the Lord takes thought for me.
You are my help and my deliverer;
do not delay, O my God!
Psalms 41
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
1
e Blessed is the one who considers the poor!
f In the day of trouble the Lord delivers him;
2
the Lord protects him and keeps him alive;
he is called blessed in the land;
you g do not give him up to the will of his enemies.
3
The Lord sustains him on his sickbed;
in his illness you restore him to full health.
4
As for me, I said, "O Lord, h be gracious to me;
i heal me, for I have sinned against you!"
5
My enemies say of me in malice,
"When will he die, and his name perish?"
6
And when one comes to see me, j he utters empty words,
while his heart gathers iniquity;
when he goes out, he tells it abroad.
7
All who hate me whisper together about me;
they imagine the worst for me.
8
They say, "A deadly thing is poured out on him;
he will not rise again from where he lies."
9
Even my k close friend in whom I trusted,
who l ate my bread, has lifted his heel against me.
10
But you, O Lord, be gracious to me,
and raise me up, that I may repay them!
11
By this I know that m you delight in me:
my enemy will not shout in triumph over me.
12
But n you have upheld me because of o my integrity,
and p set me in your presence q forever.
13
r Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting!
Amen and Amen.
Psalms 42
Book Two
To the choirmaster. A Maskil of the Sons of Korah.
1
t As a deer pants for flowing streams,
so pants my soul for you, O God.
2
u My soul thirsts for God,
for v the living God.
When shall I come and w appear before God?
3
x My tears have been my food
day and night,
y while they say to me all the day long,
"Where is your God?"
4
These things I remember,
as I z pour out my soul:
a how I would go b with the throng
and lead them in procession to the house of God
with glad shouts and songs of praise,
c a multitude keeping festival.
5
d Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you e in turmoil within me?
f Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my salvation
6
and my God.
My soul is cast down within me;
therefore I g remember you
h from the land of Jordan and of i Hermon,
from Mount Mizar.
7
Deep calls to deep
at the roar of your waterfalls;
j all your breakers and your k waves
have gone over me.
8
By day the Lord l commands his steadfast love,
and at m night his song is with me,
a prayer to the God of my life.
9
I say to God, n my rock:
"Why have you forgotten me?
o Why do I go mourning
because of the oppression of the enemy?"
10
As with a deadly wound in my bones,
my adversaries taunt me,
p while they say to me all the day long,
"Where is your God?"
11
q Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you in turmoil within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my salvation and my God.
Psalms 43
1
r Vindicate me, O God, and s defend my cause
against an ungodly people,
from t the deceitful and unjust man
deliver me!
2
For you are u the God in whom I take refuge;
why have you v rejected me?
Why do I w go about mourning
because of the oppression of the enemy?
3
x Send out your light and your truth;
let them lead me;
let them bring me to your y holy hill
and to your z dwelling!
4
Then I will go to the altar of God,
to God my exceeding joy,
and I will praise you with the lyre,
O God, my God.
5
a Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you in turmoil within me?
b Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my salvation and my God.
Psalms 44
To the choirmaster. A Maskil of the Sons of Korah.
1
O God, we have heard with our ears,
d our fathers have told us,
what deeds you performed in their days,
e in the days of old:
2
you with your own hand f drove out the nations,
but g them you planted;
you afflicted the peoples,
but h them you set free;
3
for not i by their own sword did they win the land,
nor did their own arm save them,
but your right hand and your arm,
and j the light of your face,
k for you delighted in them.
4
l You are my King, O God;
m ordain salvation for Jacob!
5
Through you we n push down our foes;
through your name we o tread down those who rise up against us.
6
For not in p my bow do I trust,
nor can my sword save me.
7
But you have saved us from our foes
and have q put to shame those who hate us.
8
r In God we have boasted continually,
and we will give thanks to your name forever. Selah
9
But you have s rejected us and disgraced us
and t have not gone out with our armies.
10
You have made us u turn back from the foe,
and those who hate us have gotten spoil.
11
You have made us like v sheep for slaughter
and have w scattered us among the nations.
12
x You have sold your people for a trifle,
demanding no high price for them.
13
You have made us y the taunt of our neighbors,
the derision and z scorn of those around us.
14
You have made us a a byword among the nations,
b a laughingstock among the peoples.
15
All day long my disgrace is before me,
and c shame has covered my face
16
at the sound of the taunter and reviler,
at the sight of d the enemy and the avenger.
17
e All this has come upon us,
though we have not forgotten you,
and we have not been false to your covenant.
18
Our heart has not turned back,
nor have our f steps g departed from your way;
19
yet you have h broken us in the place of i jackals
and covered us with j the shadow of death.
20
If we had forgotten the name of our God
or k spread out our hands to l a foreign god,
21
m would not God discover this?
n For he knows the secrets of the heart.
22
Yet o for your sake we are killed all the day long;
we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.
23
p Awake! Why are you sleeping, O Lord?
Rouse yourself! q Do not reject us forever!
24
Why r do you hide your face?
Why do you forget our affliction and oppression?
25
For our s soul is bowed down to the dust;
our belly clings to the ground.
26
Rise up; t come to our help!
u Redeem us for the sake of your steadfast love!
Psalms 45
To the choirmaster: according to Lilies. A Maskil of the Sons of Korah; a love song.
1
My heart overflows with a pleasing theme;
I address my verses to the king;
my tongue is like the pen of w a ready scribe.
2
You are x the most handsome of the sons of men;
y grace is poured upon your lips;
therefore God has blessed you forever.
3
z Gird your a sword on your thigh, O b mighty one,
in c your splendor and majesty!
4
In your majesty d ride out victoriously
for the cause of truth and meekness and righteousness;
let your right hand teach you e awesome deeds!
5
Your arrows are sharp
in the heart of the king's enemies;
the peoples fall under you.
6
f Your throne, O God, is forever and ever.
The g scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of uprightness;
7
h you have loved righteousness and hated wickedness.
Therefore i God, your God, has j anointed you
with the oil of k gladness l beyond your companions;
8
your robes are all fragrant with m myrrh and aloes and cassia.
From ivory palaces n stringed instruments make you glad;
9
daughters of kings are among your ladies of honor;
o at your right hand stands the queen in p gold of Ophir.
10
Hear, O daughter, and consider, and incline your ear:
forget your people and your father's house,
11
and the king will desire your beauty.
Since he is your q lord, r bow to him.
12
The people of Tyre will s seek your favor with t gifts,
u the richest of the people.
13
All glorious is v the princess in her chamber, with robes interwoven with gold.
14
w In many-colored robes x she is led to the king,

z I will cause your name to be remembered in all generations;

Psalms 46
To the choirmaster. Of the Sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. A Song.
1
God is our c refuge and strength,
a very d present help in e trouble.
2
Therefore we will not fear f though the earth gives way,
though the mountains be moved into g the heart of the sea,
3
though h its waters roar and foam,
though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah
4
There is i a river whose streams make glad j the city of God,

5
l God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved;
God will help her when morning dawns.
6
m The nations rage, the kingdoms totter;

7
p The Lord of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah
8
q Come, behold the works of the Lord,
how he has brought desolations on the earth.
9
r He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
he s breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
t he burns the chariots with fire.
10
u "Be still, and know that I am God.
v I will be exalted among the nations,

11
p The Lord of hosts is with us;

Psalms 48
A Song. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah.
1
l Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised
in m the city of our God!
His n holy mountain,

o beautiful in elevation,

Mount Zion, in the far north,
q the city of the great King.
3
Within her citadels God
has made himself known as a fortress.
4
For behold, r the kings assembled;
they came on together.
5
As soon as they saw it, they were astounded;
they were in panic; they took to flight.
6
s Trembling took hold of them there,
anguish t as of a woman in labor.
7
By u the east wind you v shattered

8
As we have heard, so have we seen

9
We have thought on your y steadfast love, O God,

As your z name, O God,
so your praise reaches to a the ends of the earth.
Your right hand is filled with righteousness.
11
Let Mount b Zion be glad!
Let b the daughters of Judah rejoice

12
Walk about Zion, go around her,

d that you may tell the next generation
14
that this is God,
our God forever and ever.
He will e guide us forever.
Psalms 49
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah.
1
g Hear this, all peoples!
Give ear, all inhabitants of the world,
2
h both low and high,
rich and poor together!
3
My mouth shall speak i wisdom;
the meditation of my heart shall be understanding.
4
I will incline my ear to j a proverb;
I will solve my k riddle to the music of the lyre.
5
l Why should I fear in m times of trouble,
when the iniquity of those who cheat me surrounds me,
6
those who n trust in their wealth
and boast of the abundance of their riches?
7
Truly no man o can ransom another,
or p give to God q the price of his life,
8
for r the ransom of their life is costly
and can never suffice,
9
that he should live on forever
and s never see the pit.
10
For he sees t that even the wise die;
u the fool and the stupid alike must perish
and v leave their wealth to others.
11
Their w graves are their homes forever,
their dwelling places x to all generations,
though they y called lands by their own names.
12
Man in his pomp z will not remain;
a he is like the beasts that perish.
13
This is the path of those who have b foolish confidence;
yet after them people approve of their boasts. Selah
14
Like sheep they are appointed for Sheol;
death shall be their shepherd,
and the upright c shall rule over them in the morning.
d Their form shall be consumed e in Sheol, with no place to dwell.
15
But God will f ransom my soul from the power of Sheol,
for he will g receive me. Selah
16
Be not afraid when a man becomes rich,

17
h For when he dies he will i carry nothing away;
his glory will not go down after him.
18
For though, while he lives, he counts himself j blessed
- and though you get praise when you do well for yourself -
19
his soul will k go to the generation of his fathers,
who will never again l see light.
20
m Man in his pomp yet without understanding is like the beasts that perish.
Psalms 50
A Psalm of Asaph.
1
o The Mighty One, God the Lord,
speaks and summons the earth
p from the rising of the sun to its setting.
2
Out of Zion, q the perfection of beauty,
r God shines forth.
3
Our God comes; he s does not keep silence;
before him is a devouring t fire,
around him a mighty tempest.
4
u He calls to the heavens above
and to the earth, that he may judge his people:
5
"Gather to me my faithful ones,
who made v a covenant with me by sacrifice!"
6
w The heavens declare his righteousness,
for x God himself is judge! Selah
7
y "Hear, O my people, and I will speak;
O Israel, I will testify against you.
z I am God, your God.
8
Not for your sacrifices a do I rebuke you;
your burnt offerings are continually before me.
9
I will not accept a bull from your house
or goats from your folds.
10
For every beast of the forest is mine,
the cattle on a thousand hills.
11
b I know all the birds of the hills,
and all that moves in the field is mine.
12
"If I were hungry, I would not tell you,
c for the world and its fullness are mine.
13
Do I eat the flesh of bulls
or drink the blood of goats?
14
d Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving,
and e perform your vows to the Most High,
15
and f call upon me in the day of trouble;
I will g deliver you, and you shall h glorify me."
16
But to the wicked God says:
"What right have you to recite my statutes
or take my covenant on your lips?
17
i For you hate discipline,
j and you cast my words behind you.
18
If you see a thief, k you are pleased with him,
l and you keep company with adulterers.
19
"You give your mouth free rein for evil,
m and your tongue frames deceit.
20
You sit and speak against your brother;
you slander your own mother's son.
21
These things you have done, and I n have been silent;
you thought that I was one like yourself.
But now I o rebuke you and p lay the charge before you.
22
"Mark this, then, you who q forget God,
lest I tear you apart, and there be r none to deliver!
23
The one who s offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice glorifies me;
to one who t orders his way rightly
I will show the u salvation of God!"
Psalms 51
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet went to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.
1
w Have mercy on me, O God,
according to your steadfast love;
according to your x abundant mercy
y blot out my transgressions.
2
z Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
and a cleanse me from my sin!
3
b For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is ever before me.
4
c Against you, you only, have I sinned
and done what is evil d in your sight,
e so that you may be justified in your words
and blameless in your judgment.
5
Behold, f I was brought forth in iniquity,
and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6
Behold, you delight in truth in g the inward being,
and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart.
7
Purge me h with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
z wash me, and I shall be i whiter than snow.
8
Let me hear joy and gladness;
j let the bones k that you have broken rejoice.
9
l Hide your face from my sins,
and y blot out all my iniquities.
10
m Create in me a n clean heart, O God,
and o renew a right spirit within me.
11
p Cast me not away from your presence,
and take not q your Holy Spirit from me.
12
Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
and uphold me with a willing spirit.
13
Then I will teach transgressors your ways,
and sinners will r return to you.
14
Deliver me from s bloodguiltiness, O God,
O t God of my salvation,
and u my tongue will sing aloud of your v righteousness.
15
O Lord, open my lips,
and my mouth will declare your praise.
16
w For you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it;
you will not be pleased with a burnt offering.
17
The sacrifices of God are x a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
18
y Do good to Zion in your good pleasure;
z build up the walls of Jerusalem;
19
then will you delight in a right sacrifices,
in burnt offerings and b whole burnt offerings;
then bulls will be offered on your altar.
Psalms 52
To the choirmaster. A Maskil of David, when Doeg, the Edomite, came and told Saul, "David has come to the house of Ahimelech."
1
Why do you boast of evil, O mighty man?
The steadfast love of God endures all the day.
2
Your d tongue plots destruction,
like e a sharp razor, you f worker of deceit.
3
You love evil more than good,
and g lying more than speaking what is right. Selah
4
You love all words that devour,
O deceitful tongue.
5
But God will break you down forever;
he will snatch and h tear you from your tent;
he will uproot you from i the land of the living. Selah
6
The righteous shall j see and fear,
and shall k laugh at him, saying,
7
"See the man who would not make
God his refuge,
but l trusted in the abundance of his riches
and sought refuge in his own destruction!"
8
But I am like m a green olive tree
in the house of God.
I trust in the steadfast love of God
forever and ever.
9
I will thank you forever,
because you have done it.
I will wait for your name, n for it is good,
in the presence of the o godly.
Psalms 53
To the choirmaster: according to Mahalath. A Maskil of David.
1
q The fool says in his heart, "There is no God."
They are corrupt, doing abominable iniquity;
there is none who does good.
2
God looks down from heaven
on the children of man
to see if there are any who understand,
who seek after God.
3
They have all fallen away;
together they have become corrupt;
there is none who does good,
not even one.
4
Have those who work evil no knowledge,
who eat up my people as they eat bread,
and do not call upon God?
5
There they are, in great terror,
r where there is no terror!
For God s scatters the bones of him who encamps against you;
you put them to shame, for God has rejected them.
6
Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!
When God restores the fortunes of his people,
let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.
Psalms 54
To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Maskil of David, when the Ziphites went and told Saul, "Is not David hiding among us?"
1
O God, save me by your v name,
and vindicate me by your might.
2
O God, w hear my prayer;
give ear to the words of my mouth.
3
x For y strangers have risen against me;
ruthless men z seek my life;
they do not set God before themselves. Selah
4
Behold, a God is my helper;
the Lord is the upholder of my life.
5
He will return the evil to my enemies;
in your b faithfulness c put an end to them.
6
With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to you;
I will give thanks to your name, O Lord, d for it is good.
7
For he has delivered me from every trouble,
and my eye has e looked in triumph on my enemies.
Psalms 55
To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Maskil of David.
1
g Give ear to my prayer, O God,
and hide not yourself from my plea for mercy!
2
Attend to me, and answer me;
I am restless h in my complaint and I i moan,
3
because of the noise of the enemy,
because of the oppression of the wicked.
For they j drop trouble upon me,
and in anger they bear a grudge against me.
4
My heart is in anguish within me;
k the terrors of death have fallen upon me.
5
Fear and trembling come upon me,
and l horror m overwhelms me.
6
And I say, "Oh, that I had wings like a dove!
I would fly away and be at rest;
7
n yes, I would wander far away;
I would lodge in the wilderness; Selah
8
I would hurry to find a shelter
from o the raging wind and tempest."
9
Destroy, O Lord, p divide their tongues;
for I see q violence and strife in the city.
10
Day and night they go around it
on its walls,
and r iniquity and trouble are within it;
11
ruin is in its midst;
s oppression and fraud
do not depart from its marketplace.
12
For it is not an enemy who taunts me -
then I could bear it;
it is not an adversary who t deals insolently with me -
then I could hide from him.
13
u But it is you, a man, my equal,
my companion, my familiar friend.
14
We used to take sweet counsel together;
within God's house we walked in v the throng.
15
Let death steal over them;
let them go down to Sheol w alive;
for evil is in their dwelling place and in their heart.
16
But I call to God,
and the Lord will save me.
17
x Evening and y morning and at z noon
I a utter my complaint and moan,
and he hears my voice.
18
He redeems my soul in safety
from the battle that I wage,
for b many are arrayed against me.
19
God will give ear and humble them,
he who is c enthroned from of old, Selah
because they do not d change
and do not fear God.
20
My companion e stretched out his hand against his friends;
he violated his covenant.
21
His f speech was g smooth as butter,
yet war was in his heart;
his words were softer than oil,
yet they were h drawn swords.
22
i Cast your burden on the Lord,
and he will sustain you;
j he will never permit
the righteous to be moved.
23
But you, O God, k will cast them down
into l the pit of destruction;
men of m blood and treachery
shall not n live out half their days.
But I will o trust in you.
Psalms 56
To the choirmaster: according to The Dove on Far-off Terebinths. A Miktam of David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath.
1
r Be gracious to me, O God, for man s tramples on me;
all day long an attacker oppresses me;
2
my enemies trample on me all day long,
for many attack me proudly.
3
When I am afraid,
I t put my trust in you.
4
In God, whose word I praise,
in God I trust; u I shall not be afraid.
What can flesh do to me?
5
All day long they injure my cause;
all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6
They v stir up strife, they w lurk;
they x watch my steps,
as they have waited for my life.
7
For their crime will they escape?
y In wrath z cast down the peoples, O God!
8
You have kept count of my tossings;
a put my tears in your bottle.
b Are they not in your book?
9
Then my enemies will turn back
c in the day when I call.
This I know, that d God is for me.
10
In God, whose word I praise,
in the Lord, whose word I praise,
11
in God I trust; u I shall not be afraid.
What can man do to me?
12
I must perform my e vows to you, O God;
I will e render thank offerings to you.
13
f For you have delivered my soul from death,
yes, my feet from falling,
g that I may walk before God
h in the light of life.
Psalms 57
To the choirmaster: according to Do Not Destroy. A Miktam of David, when he fled from Saul, in the cave.
1
l Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me,
for in you my soul m takes refuge;
in n the shadow of your wings I will take refuge,
o till the storms of destruction pass by.
2
I cry out to God Most High,
to God who p fulfills his purpose for me.
3
q He will send from heaven and save me;
he will put to shame r him who tramples on me. Selah
s God will send out t his steadfast love and his faithfulness!
4
My soul is in the midst of u lions;
I lie down amid fiery beasts -
the children of man, whose v teeth are spears and arrows,
whose w tongues are sharp swords.
5
x Be exalted, O God, above the heavens!
Let your glory be over all the earth!
6
They set y a net for my steps;
my soul was z bowed down.
They a dug a pit in my way,
but they have fallen into it themselves. Selah
7
b My heart is c steadfast, O God,
my heart is steadfast!
I will sing and make melody!
8
d Awake, e my glory!
Awake, f O harp and lyre!
I will awake the dawn!
9
I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to you among the nations.
10
For your g steadfast love is great to the heavens,
your faithfulness to the clouds.
11
x Be exalted, O God, above the heavens!
Let your glory be over all the earth!
Psalms 58
To the choirmaster: according to Do Not Destroy. A Miktam of David.
1
Do you indeed decree what is right, you gods?
Do you judge the children of man uprightly?
2
No, in your hearts you devise wrongs;
your hands j deal out violence on earth.
3
The wicked are k estranged from the womb;
they go astray from birth, speaking lies.
4
l They have venom like the venom of a serpent,
like the deaf adder that stops its ear,
5
so that it m does not hear the voice of charmers
or of the cunning enchanter.
6
O God, n break the teeth in their mouths;
tear out the fangs of the young lions, O Lord!
7
Let them o vanish like water that runs away;
when he p aims his arrows, let them be blunted.
8
Let them be like the snail o that dissolves into slime,
like q the stillborn child who never sees the sun.
9
Sooner than your pots can feel the heat of r thorns,
whether green or ablaze, may he s sweep them away!
10
t The righteous will rejoice when he sees the vengeance;
he will u bathe his feet in the blood of the wicked.
11
Mankind will say, "Surely there is v a reward for the righteous;
surely there is a God who w judges on earth."
Psalms 59
To the choirmaster: according to Do Not Destroy. A Miktam of David, when Saul sent men to watch his house in order to kill him.
1
a Deliver me from my enemies, O my God;
b protect me from those who c rise up against me;
2
deliver me from d those who work evil,
and save me from e bloodthirsty men.
3
For behold, they f lie in wait for my life;
fierce men g stir up strife against me.
h For no transgression or sin of mine, O Lord,
4
for no fault of mine, they run and make ready.
i Awake, come to meet me, and see!
5
You, j Lord God of hosts, are God of Israel.
Rouse yourself to punish all the nations;
spare none of those who treacherously plot evil. Selah
6
Each evening they k come back,
howling like dogs
and prowling about the city.
7
There they are, l bellowing with their mouths
with m swords in their lips -
for n "Who," they think, "will hear us?"
8
But you, O Lord, o laugh at them;
you hold all the nations in derision.
9
O my Strength, I will watch for you,
for you, O God, are p my fortress.
10
q My God in his steadfast love r will meet me;
God will let me s look in triumph on my enemies.
11
Kill them not, lest my people forget;
make them totter by your power and t bring them down,
O Lord, our u shield!
12
For v the sin of their mouths, the words of their lips,
let them be trapped in their pride.
For the cursing and lies that they utter,
13
w consume them in wrath;
consume them till they are no more,
that they may x know that God rules over Jacob
to y the ends of the earth. Selah
14
z Each evening they come back,
howling like dogs
and prowling about the city.
15
They a wander about for food
and growl if they do not get their fill.
16
But I will sing of your strength;
I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning.
For you have been to me b a fortress
and c a refuge in d the day of my distress.
17
O my Strength, I will sing praises to you,
for you, O God, b are my fortress,
e the God who shows me steadfast love.
Psalms 60
To the choirmaster: according to Shushan Eduth. A Miktam of David; for instruction; when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and when Joab on his return struck down twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt.
1
O God, j you have rejected us, k broken our defenses;
you have been angry; l oh, restore us.
2
You have made the land to quake; you have torn it open;
m repair its breaches, for it totters.
3
n You have made your people see hard things;
o you have given us p wine to drink that made us stagger.
4
You have set up q a banner for those who fear you,
that they may flee to it r from the bow. Selah
5
s That your t beloved ones may be delivered,
give salvation by your right hand and answer us!
6
God has spoken u in his holiness:
"With exultation v I will divide up w Shechem
and portion out the Vale of x Succoth.
7
y Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine;
z Ephraim is a my helmet;
Judah is my b scepter.
8
c Moab is my washbasin;
upon Edom I d cast my shoe;
over e Philistia I shout in triumph."
9
Who will bring me to the fortified city?
f Who will lead me to Edom?
10
Have you not g rejected us, O God?
You h do not go forth, O God, with our armies.
11
Oh, grant us help against the foe,
for i vain is the salvation of man!
12
With God we shall j do valiantly;
it is he who will k tread down our foes.
Psalms 61
To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. Of David.
1
Hear my cry, O God,
m listen to my prayer;
2
from the end of the earth I call to you
when my heart is n faint.
Lead me to o the rock
that is higher than I,
3
for you have been p my refuge,

4
Let me r dwell in your tent forever!

5
For you, O God, have heard my vows;

6
t Prolong u the life of the king;

Psalms 62
To the choirmaster: according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
1
For God alone y my soul z waits in silence;
from him comes my salvation.
2
a He only is my rock and my salvation,
my b fortress; c I shall not be greatly shaken.
3
How long will all of you attack a man
to batter him,
like d a leaning wall, a tottering fence?
4
They only plan to thrust him down from his e high position.
They take pleasure in falsehood.
f They bless with their mouths,
but inwardly they curse. Selah
5
For God alone, O y my soul, wait in silence,
for my hope is from him.
6
a He only is my rock and my salvation,

7
On God rests my g salvation and my glory;

8
i Trust in him at all times, O people;
j pour out your heart before him;

9
k Those of low estate are but a breath;
those of high estate l are a delusion;
in the balances they go up;
k they are together lighter than a breath.
10
Put no trust in extortion;
m set no vain hopes on robbery;
n if riches increase, set not your heart on them.
11
o Once God has spoken;
o twice have I heard this:
that p power belongs to God,
12
and that to you, O Lord, q belongs steadfast love.
For you will r render to a man
according to his work.
Psalms 63
A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.
1
O God, you are my God; t earnestly I seek you;
u my soul thirsts for you;
my flesh faints for you,
as in v a dry and weary land where there is no water.
2
So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary,
beholding w your power and glory.
3
Because your x steadfast love is better than life,
my lips will praise you.
4
So I will bless you y as long as I live;

5
My soul will be b satisfied as with fat and rich food,

8
My soul e clings to you;

9
But those who seek to destroy my life
g shall go down into h the depths of the earth;

they shall be given over to the power of the sword;

11
But i the king shall rejoice in God;
all who j swear by him shall exult,
k for the mouths of l liars will be stopped.
Psalms 64
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
1
Hear my voice, O God, in my m complaint;
preserve my life from dread of the enemy.
2
Hide me from n the secret plots of the wicked,
from the throng of evildoers,
3
who o whet their tongues like swords,
who p aim bitter words like arrows,
4
shooting from q ambush at the blameless,
shooting at him suddenly and r without fear.
5
They s hold fast to their evil purpose;
they talk of t laying snares secretly,
thinking, u "Who can see them?"
6
They search out injustice,
saying, "We have accomplished a diligent search."
For v the inward mind and heart of a man are deep!
7
w But God shoots his arrow at them;
they are wounded suddenly.
8
They are brought to ruin, with their own x tongues turned against them;
all who y see them will z wag their heads.
9
Then all mankind y fears;

and ponder what he has done.
10
Let b the righteous one rejoice in the Lord
and c take refuge in him!
Let all d the upright in heart exult!
Psalms 65
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. A Song.

By n awesome deeds you answer us with righteousness,

8
so that those who dwell at the ends of the earth are in awe at your signs.
You make the going out of the morning and the evening to shout for joy.
9
You visit the earth and s water it;

10
You water its furrows abundantly,

and blessing its growth.
11
You crown the year with your bounty;

So great is your power that your enemies e come cringing to you.
4
f All the earth worships you
and sings praises to you;

5
g Come and see what God has done:
d he is awesome in his deeds toward the children of man.
6
He h turned the sea into dry land;

There did we rejoice in him,

who rules by his might forever,
whose j eyes keep watch on the nations -
let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah
8
Bless our God, O peoples;

9
who has kept our soul among the living
and k has not let our feet slip.
10
For you, O God, have l tested us;
you have tried us as silver is tried.
11
You brought us into m the net;
you laid a crushing burden on our backs;
12
you let men n ride over our heads;
we went through fire and through o water;
yet you have brought us out to a place of abundance.
13
I will come into your house with burnt offerings;
I will p perform my vows to you,
14
that which my lips uttered
and my mouth promised q when I was in trouble.
15
I will offer to you burnt offerings of fattened animals,
with the smoke of the sacrifice of rams;
I will make an offering of bulls and goats. Selah
16
r Come and hear, all you who fear God,

O God, when you u went out before your people,
v when you marched through w the wilderness, Selah
8
x the earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain,
before God, the One of Sinai,
before God, the God of Israel.
9
y Rain in abundance, O God, you shed abroad;
you restored your inheritance as it languished;
10
your flock found a dwelling in it;
in your goodness, O God, you z provided for the needy.
11
The Lord gives a the word;
b the women who announce the news are a great host:
12
c "The kings of the armies - they flee, they flee!"
The women at home d divide the spoil -
13
though you men lie among e the sheepfolds -
the wings of a dove covered with silver,
its pinions with shimmering gold.
14
When the Almighty scatters kings there,
let snow fall on f Zalmon.

Why do you look with hatred, O many-peaked mountain,

yes, where the Lord will dwell forever?
17
h The chariots of God are twice ten thousand,
thousands upon thousands;
the Lord is among them; Sinai is now in the sanctuary.
18
i You ascended on high,
j leading a host of captives in your train
and k receiving gifts among men,
even among l the rebellious, m that the Lord God may dwell there.
19
Blessed be the Lord,

God is our salvation. Selah
20

21
p But God will strike the heads of his enemies,

27

28
b Summon your power, O God,

29
Because of your temple at Jerusalem

30

Psalms 69
To the choirmaster: according to Lilies. Of David.
1
Save me, O God!
For u the waters have come up to my neck.
2
I sink in deep v mire,
where there is no foothold;
I have come into deep waters,
and the flood w sweeps over me.
3
x I am weary with my crying out;
y my throat is parched.
z My eyes grow dim
with a waiting for my God.
4
b More in number than the hairs of my head
are c those who hate me d without cause;
mighty are those who would destroy me,
e those who attack me with lies.
What I did not steal
must I now restore?
5
O God, you know my folly;
the wrongs I have done are not hidden from you.
6
Let not those who hope in you f be put to shame through me,
O Lord God of hosts;
let not those who seek you be brought to dishonor through me,
O God of Israel.
7
For it is g for your sake that I have borne reproach,
that dishonor has covered my face.
8
I have become h a stranger to my brothers,
an alien to my mother's sons.
9
For i zeal for your house has consumed me,
and j the reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen on me.
10
When I wept and humbled my soul with fasting,
it became my reproach.
11
When I made k sackcloth my clothing,
I became l a byword to them.
12
I am the talk of those who m sit in the gate,
and the drunkards make n songs about me.
13
But as for me, my o prayer is to you, O Lord.
At p an acceptable time, O God,
in the abundance of your steadfast love answer me in your saving faithfulness.
14
Deliver me
from sinking in q the mire;
r let me be delivered from my enemies
and from s the deep waters.
15
Let not the flood sweep over me,
or the deep swallow me up,
or t the pit close u its mouth over me.
16
Answer me, O Lord, for your v steadfast love is good;
according to your abundant w mercy, x turn to me.
17
y Hide not your face from your servant;
z for I am in distress; a make haste to answer me.
18
Draw near to my soul, redeem me;
ransom me because of my enemies!
19
You know my b reproach,
and my shame and my dishonor;
my foes are all known to you.
20
b Reproaches have broken my heart,
so that I am in c despair.
I d looked for e pity, but there was none,
and for f comforters, but I found none.
21
They gave me g poison for food,
and for my thirst they gave me h sour wine to drink.
22
i Let their own j table before them become a snare;
k and when they are at peace, let it become a trap.
23
l Let their eyes be darkened, so that they cannot see,
m and make their loins tremble continually.
24
Pour out your indignation upon them,
and let your burning anger overtake them.
25
n May their camp be a desolation;
let no one dwell in their tents.
26
For they o persecute him whom p you have struck down,
and they recount the pain of q those you have wounded.
27
r Add to them punishment upon punishment;
may they have no acquittal from you.
28
Let them be s blotted out of the book of the living;
let them not be t enrolled among the righteous.
29
But I am afflicted and in pain;
let your salvation, O God, u set me on high!
30
I will v praise the name of God with a song;
I will w magnify him with x thanksgiving.
31
This will y please the Lord more than an ox
or a bull z with horns and hoofs.
32
When a the humble see it they will be glad;
you who seek God, a let your hearts revive.
33
For the Lord hears the needy
and b does not despise his own people who are prisoners.
34
Let c heaven and earth praise him,
the seas and everything that moves in them.
35
For d God will save Zion
and build up the cities of Judah,
and people shall dwell there and possess it;
36
e the offspring of his servants shall inherit it,
and those who love his name shall dwell in it.
Psalms 70
To the choirmaster. Of David, for the memorial offering.
1
g Make haste, O God, to deliver me!
O Lord, make haste to help me!
2
Let them be put to shame and confusion
who seek my life!
Let them be turned back and brought to dishonor
who delight in my hurt!
3
Let them turn back because of their shame
who say, "Aha, Aha!"
4
May all who seek you
rejoice and be glad in you!
May those who love your salvation
say evermore, "God is great!"
5
But I am poor and needy;
h hasten to me, O God!
You are my help and my deliverer;
O Lord, do not delay!
Psalms 71
1
i In you, O Lord, do I take refuge;
let me never be put to shame!
2
In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me;
incline your ear to me, and save me!
3
Be to me a rock of j refuge,
to which I may continually come;
you have k given the command to save me,
for you are my l rock and my fortress.
4
m Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked,
from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man.
5
For you, O Lord, are my n hope,
my trust, O Lord, from my youth.
6
Upon you I have leaned o from before my birth;
you are he who p took me from my mother's womb.
My praise is continually of you.
7
I have been as q a portent to many,
but you are my strong refuge.
8
My r mouth is filled with your praise,
and with your glory all the day.
9
s Do not cast me off in the time of old age;
forsake me not when my strength is spent.
10
For my enemies speak concerning me;
those who t watch for my life u consult together
11
and say, "God has forsaken him;
pursue and seize him,
for there is none to deliver him."
12
O God, be not v far from me;
O my God, w make haste to help me!
13
May my accusers be x put to shame and consumed;
y with scorn and disgrace may they be covered
who z seek my hurt.
14
But I will a hope continually
and will b praise you yet more and more.
15
My c mouth will tell of your righteous acts,
of your deeds of salvation all the day,
for d their number is past my knowledge.
16
With the mighty deeds of the Lord God I will come;
I will remind them of your righteousness, yours alone.
17
O God, from my youth you have taught me,
and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds.
18
So even to e old age and gray hairs,
O God, f do not forsake me,
until I proclaim your might to another generation,
your power to all those to come.
19
Your g righteousness, O God,
reaches the high heavens.
You who have done h great things,
O God, i who is like you?
20
You who have j made me see many troubles and calamities
will k revive me again;
from the depths of the earth
you will bring me up again.
21
You will increase my greatness
and comfort me again.
22
I will also praise you with l the harp
for your faithfulness, O my God;
I will sing praises to you with the lyre,
O m Holy One of Israel.
23
My lips will shout for joy,
when I sing praises to you;
my soul also, which you have n redeemed.
24
And my o tongue will talk of your righteous help all the day long,
for they have been p put to shame and disappointed
who sought to do me hurt.
Psalms 72
Of Solomon.
1
Give the king your r justice, O God,
and your righteousness to the royal son!
2
May he s judge your people with righteousness,
and your poor with justice!
3
Let the mountains bear t prosperity for the people,
and the hills, in righteousness!
4
May he defend the cause of the poor of the people,
give deliverance to the children of the needy,
and crush the oppressor!
5
May they fear you while u the sun endures,
and as long as the moon, v throughout all generations!
6
May he be like w rain that falls on x the mown grass,
like y showers that water the earth!
7
In his days may z the righteous flourish,
and a peace abound, till the moon be no more!
8
May he have dominion from b sea to sea,
and from b the River to the c ends of the earth!
9
May desert tribes d bow down before him,
and his enemies e lick the dust!
10
May the kings of f Tarshish and of g the coastlands
render him h tribute;
may the kings of i Sheba and j Seba
bring gifts!
11
May all kings k fall down before him,
all nations serve him!
12
For he delivers l the needy when he calls,
the poor and him who has no helper.
13
He has pity on the weak and the needy,
and saves the lives of the needy.
14
From oppression and violence he redeems their life,
and m precious is their blood in his sight.
15
Long may he live;
may n gold of Sheba be given to him!
May prayer be made o for him continually,
and blessings invoked for him all the day!
16
May there be abundance of grain in the land;
on the tops of the mountains may it wave;
may its fruit be like Lebanon;
and may people p blossom in the cities
like the q grass of the field!
17
r May his name endure forever,
his fame continue as long as the sun!
s May people be blessed in him,
t all nations call him blessed!
18
u Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
who alone does v wondrous things.
19
Blessed be his w glorious name forever;
may x the whole earth be filled with his glory!
y Amen and Amen!
