Psalms
1Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked,
Nor standeth in the way of sinners,
Nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers:
2But his delight is in the law of Jehovah;
And on his law doth he meditate day and night.
3And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water,
That bringeth forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also doth not wither;
And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
But are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6For Jehovah knoweth the way of the righteous;
But the way of the wicked shall perish.
And the peoples meditate a vain thing?
2The kings of the earth set themselves,
And the rulers take counsel together,
Against Jehovah, and against his anointed, saying,
3Let us break their bonds asunder,
And cast away their cords from us.
4He that sitteth in the heavens will laugh:
The Lord will have them in derision.
5Then will he speak unto them in his wrath,
And vex them in his sore displeasure:
Upon my holy hill of Zion.
Jehovah said unto me, Thou art my son;
This day have I begotten thee.
8Ask of me, and I will give thee the nations for thine inheritance,
And the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron;
Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
10Now therefore be wise, O ye kings:
Be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
And rejoice with trembling.
12Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way,
For his wrath will soon be kindled.
Blessed are all they that take refuge in him.
A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.
1Jehovah, how are mine adversaries increased!
Many are they that rise up against me.
2Many there are that say of my soul,
There is no help for him in God. Selah
3But thou, O Jehovah, art a shield about me;
My glory and the lifter up of my head.
4I cry unto Jehovah with my voice,
And he answereth me out of his holy hill. Selah
I awaked; for Jehovah sustaineth me.
6I will not be afraid of ten thousands of the people
That have set themselves against me round about.
7Arise, O Jehovah; save me, O my God:
For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone;
Thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
8Salvation belongeth unto Jehovah:
Thy blessing be upon thy people. Selah
For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.
1Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness;
Thou hast set me at large when I was in distress:
Have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
2O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor?
How long will ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? Selah
3But know that Jehovah hath set apart for himself him that is godly:
Jehovah will hear when I call unto him.
Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah
5Offer the sacrifices of righteousness,
And put your trust in Jehovah.
Who will show us any good?
Jehovah, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
7Thou hast put gladness in my heart,
More than they have when their grain and their new wine are increased.
8In peace will I both lay me down and sleep;
For thou, Jehovah, alone makest me dwell in safety.
For the Chief Musician; with the Nehiloth. A Psalm of David.
1Give ear to my words, O Jehovah,
Consider my meditation.
2Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God;
For unto thee do I pray.
3O Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice;
In the morning will I order my prayer unto thee, and will keep watch.
4For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness:
Evil shall not sojourn with thee.
5The arrogant shall not stand in thy sight:
Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
6Thou wilt destroy them that speak lies:
Jehovah abhorreth the blood-thirsty and deceitful man.
7But as for me, in the abundance of thy lovingkindness will I come into thy house:
In thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
8Lead me, O Jehovah, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies;
Make thy way straight before my face.
9For there is no faithfulness in their mouth;
Their inward part is very wickedness;
Their throat is an open sepulchre;
They flatter with their tongue.
Let them fall by their own counsels;
Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions;
For they have rebelled against thee.
11But let all those that take refuge in thee rejoice,
Let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them:
Let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.
12For thou wilt bless the righteous;
O Jehovah, thou wilt compass him with favor as with a shield.
For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments, set to the Sheminith. A Psalm of David.
1O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger,
Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
2Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; for I am withered away:
O Jehovah, heal me; for my bones are troubled.
3My soul also is sore troubled:
And thou, O Jehovah, how long?
4Return, O Jehovah, deliver my soul:
Save me for thy lovingkindness’ sake.
5For in death there is no remembrance of thee:
In Sheol who shall give thee thanks?
Every night make I my bed to swim;
I water my couch with my tears.
7Mine eye wasteth away because of grief;
It waxeth old because of all mine adversaries.
8Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity;
For Jehovah hath heard the voice of my weeping.
9Jehovah hath heard my supplication;
Jehovah will receive my prayer.
10All mine enemies shall be put to shame and sore troubled:
They shall turn back, they shall be put to shame suddenly.
Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto Jehovah, concerning the words of Cush a Benjamite.
1O Jehovah my God, in thee do I take refuge:
Save me from all them that pursue me, and deliver me,
2Lest they tear my soul like a lion,
Rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
3O Jehovah my God, if I have done this;
If there be iniquity in my hands;
4If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me
(Yea, I have delivered him that without cause was mine adversary);
5Let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it;
Yea, let him tread my life down to the earth,
And lay my glory in the dust. Selah
6Arise, O Jehovah, in thine anger;
Lift up thyself against the rage of mine adversaries,
And awake for me; thou hast commanded judgment.
7And let the congregation of the peoples compass thee about;
And over them return thou on high.
8Jehovah ministereth judgment to the peoples:
Judge me, O Jehovah, according to my righteousness, and to mine integrity that is in me.
9Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish thou the righteous:
For the righteous God trieth the minds and hearts.
Who saveth the upright in heart.
Yea, a God that hath indignation every day.
12If a man turn not, he will whet his sword;
He hath bent his bow, and made it ready;
13He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death;
He maketh his arrows fiery shafts.
14Behold, he travaileth with iniquity;
Yea, he hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
15He hath made a pit, and digged it,
And is fallen into the ditch which he made.
16His mischief shall return upon his own head,
And his violence shall come down upon his own pate.
17I will give thanks unto Jehovah according to his righteousness,
And will sing praise to the name of Jehovah Most High.
For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. A Psalm of David.
How excellent is thy name in all the earth,
Who hast set thy glory upon the heavens!
2Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou established strength,
Because of thine adversaries,
That thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
3When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers,
The moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
4What is man, that thou art mindful of him?
And the son of man, that thou visitest him?
5For thou hast made him but little lower than God,
And crownest him with glory and honor.
6Thou makest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands;
Thou hast put all things under his feet:
Yea, and the beasts of the field,
8The birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,
Whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
How excellent is thy name in all the earth!
For the Chief Musician; set to Muth-labben. A Psalm of David.
1I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart;
I will show forth all thy marvellous works.
2I will be glad and exult in thee;
I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High.
They stumble and perish at thy presence.
4For thou hast maintained my right and my cause;
Thou sittest in the throne judging righteously.
5Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked;
Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
6The enemy are come to an end, they are desolate for ever;
And the cities which thou hast overthrown,
The very remembrance of them is perished.
7But Jehovah sitteth as king for ever:
He hath prepared his throne for judgment;
8And he will judge the world in righteousness,
He will minister judgment to the peoples in uprightness.
9Jehovah also will be a high tower for the oppressed,
A high tower in times of trouble;
10And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee;
For thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
11Sing praises to Jehovah, who dwelleth in Zion:
Declare among the people his doings.
12For he that maketh inquisition for blood remembereth them;
He forgetteth not the cry of the poor.
13Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah;
Behold my affliction which I suffer of them that hate me,
Thou that liftest me …
