But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble.

Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.

Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.

To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.

Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.

Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.

But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.

For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.

That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.

I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.

Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.

With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;

My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.

Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.

Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.

I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.

God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.

{To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm of David.} Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

{To the chief Musician upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David.} Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.

My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.

The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.

The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.

{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.} In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?

Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.

Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none.

For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.

The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD'S throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.

For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.

I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.

For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.

But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.

For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God?

For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.

For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.

The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.

Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.

{Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the LORD, concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite.} O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:

For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.

But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.

For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.

Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.

Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.

O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.

{To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David.} O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?

The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.

Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.

When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.

He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.

He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places.

All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;

His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.

The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:

Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.

And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.

For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right.

For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.

O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.

But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.

Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?

The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.

He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?

For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.

Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.

He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.

He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.

His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.

My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?

All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.

I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.

He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.

For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.

I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.

He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.

Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.

{A Song of degrees of David.} I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.

His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake.

If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)

For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD, who spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul: And he said,} I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.

As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.

{To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David.} O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.

So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.

Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.

Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.

{To the chief Musician upon ShoshannimEduth, A Psalm of Asaph.} Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.

Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.

The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.

O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.

{Maschil of Asaph.} Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.

O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;

He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.

For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.

Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.

The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.

Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.

He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.

A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.

Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.

{A Psalm of David.} Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.

The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.

Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.

O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

{To the chief Musician, A Song or Psalm.} Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:

Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.

The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes.

Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?

{A Psalm or Song for the sabbath day.} It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:

Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.

But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.

Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake.

{To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm or Song.} God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah.

I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?

Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.

The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.

Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.

Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.

{Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite.} I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.

Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

{To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.} O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.
