PSALM 1

The Righteous and the Wicked Contrasted.

How blessed 835 is the man 376 who 834 does not walk 1980 in the counsel 6098 of the wicked 7563, Nor 3808 stand 5975 in the path 1870 of sinners 2400, Nor 3808 sit 3427 in the seat 4186 of scoffers 3917!
2 But his delight 2656 is in the law 8451 of the LORD 3068, And in His law 8451 he meditates 1897 day 3119 and night 3915.
3 He will be like a tree 6086 {firmly} planted 8362 by streams 6388 of water 4325, Which 834 yields 5414 its fruit 6529 in its season 6256 And its leaf 5929 does not wither 5034; And in whatever he does 6213, he prospers 6743.
4 ¶ The wicked 7563 are not so 3651, But they are like chaff 4671 which 834 the wind 7307 drives 5086 away 5086.
5 Therefore the wicked 7563 will not stand 6965 in the judgment 4941, Nor 3808 sinners 2400 in the assembly 5712 of the righteous 6662.
6 For the LORD 3068 knows 3045 the way 1870 of the righteous 6662, But the way 1870 of the wicked 7563 will perish 6.

PSALM 2

The Reign of the L\{ORD}/'\{S}/ Anointed.

Why 4100 are the nations 1471 in an uproar 7283 And the peoples 3816 devising 1897 a vain 7385 thing 7385?
2 The kings 4428 of the earth 776 take 3320 their stand 3320 And the rulers 7336 take 3245 counsel 3245 together 3162 Against 5921 the LORD 3068 and against 5921 His Anointed 4899, saying,
3 "Let us tear 5423 their fetters 4147 apart 5423 And cast 7993 away 7993 their cords 5688 from us!"
4 ¶ He who sits 3427 in the heavens 8064 laughs 7832, The Lord 136 scoffs 3932 at them.
5 Then 227 He will speak 1696 to them in His anger 639 And terrify 926 them in His fury 2740, saying,
6 "But as for Me, I have installed 5258 My King 4428 Upon Zion 6726, My holy 6944 mountain 2022."
7 ¶ "I will surely 3588 tell 5608 of the decree 2706 of the LORD 3068: He said 559 to Me, 'You are My Son 1121, Today 3117 I have begotten 3205 You.
8 'Ask 7592 of Me, and I will surely give 5414 the nations 1471 as Your inheritance 5159, And the {very} ends 657 of the earth 776 as Your possession 272.
9 'You shall break 7489 them with a rod 7626 of iron 1270, You shall shatter 5310 them like earthenware.'"
10 ¶ Now 6258 therefore, O kings 4428, show 7919 discernment 7919; Take 3256 warning 3256, O judges 8199 of the earth 776.
11 Worship 5647 the LORD 3068 with reverence 3374 And rejoice 1523 with trembling 7461.
12 Do 5401 homage 5401 to the Son 1248, that He not become 599 angry 599, and you perish 6 {in} the way 1870, For His wrath 639 may soon 4592 be kindled 1197. How blessed 835 are all 3605 who take 2620 refuge 2620 in Him!

PSALM 3

Morning Prayer of Trust in God.

O LORD 3068, how 4100 my adversaries 6862 have increased 7231! Many 7227 are rising 6965 up against 5921 me.
2 Many 7227 are saying 559 of my soul 5315, "There 369 is no 369 deliverance 3444 for him in God 430." Selah 5542.
3 ¶ But You, O LORD 3068, are a shield 4043 about 1157 me, My glory 3519, and the One who lifts 7311 my head 7218.
4 I was crying 7121 to the LORD 3068 with my voice 6963, And He answered 6030 me from His holy 6944 mountain 2022. Selah 5542.
5 I lay 7901 down 7901 and slept 3462; I awoke 7019, for the LORD 3068 sustains 5564 me.
6 I will not be afraid 3372 of ten 7233 thousands 7233 of people 5971 Who 834 have set 7896 themselves against 5921 me round 5439 about 5439.
7 ¶ Arise 6965, O LORD 3068; save 3467 me, O my God 430! For You have smitten 5221 all 3605 my enemies 340 on the cheek 3895; You have shattered 7665 the teeth 8127 of the wicked 7563.
8 Salvation 3444 belongs to the LORD 3068; Your blessing 1293 {be} upon Your people 5971! Selah 5542.

PSALM 4

Evening Prayer of Trust in God.

Answer 6030 me when I call 7121, O God 430 of my righteousness 6664! You have relieved 7337 me in my distress 6862; Be gracious 2603 to me and hear 8085 my prayer 8605.
2 ¶ O sons 1121 of men 376, how 4100 long 5704 will my honor 3519 become a reproach 3639? {How long} will you love 157 what 7385 is worthless 7385 and aim 1245 at deception 3577? Selah 5542.
3 But know 3045 that the LORD 3068 has set 6395 apart 6395 the godly 2623 man 2623 for Himself; The LORD 3068 hears 8085 when I call 7121 to Him.
4 ¶ Tremble 7264, and do not sin 2398; Meditate 559 in your heart 3824 upon your bed 4904, and be still 1826. Selah 5542.
5 Offer 2076 the sacrifices 2077 of righteousness 6664, And trust 982 in the LORD 3068.
6 ¶ Many 7227 are saying 559, "Who 4310 will show 7200 us {any} good 2896?" Lift 5375 up the light 216 of Your countenance 6440 upon us, O LORD 3068!
7 You have put 5414 gladness 8057 in my heart 3820, More 4480 than 4480 when 6256 their grain 1715 and new 8492 wine 8492 abound 7231.
8 In peace 7965 I will both 3162 lie 7901 down 7901 and sleep 3462, For You alone 910, O LORD 3068, make me to dwell 3427 in safety 983.

PSALM 5

Prayer for Protection from the Wicked.

Give 238 ear 238 to my words 561, O LORD 3068, Consider 995 my groaning 1901.
2 Heed 7181 the sound 6963 of my cry 7768 for help 7773, my King 4428 and my God 430, For to You I pray 6419.
3 In the morning 1242, O LORD 3068, You will hear 8085 my voice 6963; In the morning 1242 I will order 6186 {my} {prayer} to You and {eagerly} watch 6822.
4 ¶ For You are not a God 410 who takes 2655 pleasure 2655 in wickedness 7562; No 3808 evil 7451 dwells 1481 with You.
5 The boastful 1984 shall not stand 3320 before 5048 Your eyes 5869; You hate 8130 all 3605 who do 6466 iniquity 205.
6 You destroy 6 those who speak 1696 falsehood 3577; The LORD 3068 abhors 8581 the man 376 of bloodshed 1818 and deceit 4820.
7 But as for me, by Your abundant 7230 lovingkindness 2617 I will enter 935 Your house 1004, At Your holy 6944 temple 1964 I will bow 7812 in reverence 3374 for You.
8 ¶ O LORD 3068, lead 5148 me in Your righteousness 6666 because 4616 of my foes 7796; Make 3474 Your way 1870 straight 3474 before 6440 me.
9 There 369 is nothing 369 reliable 3559 in what 6310 they say 6310; Their inward 7130 part 7130 is destruction 1942 {itself.} Their throat 1627 is an open 6605 grave 6913; They flatter 2505 with their tongue 3956.
10 Hold 816 them guilty 816, O God 430; By their own devices 4156 let them fall 5307! In the multitude 7230 of their transgressions 6588 thrust 5080 them out, For they are rebellious 4784 against You.
11 ¶ But let all 3605 who take 2620 refuge 2620 in You be glad 8055, Let them ever 5769 sing 7442 for joy 7442; And may You shelter 5526 them, That those who love 157 Your name 8034 may exult 5970 in You.
12 For it is You who blesses 1288 the righteous 6662 man 6662, O LORD 3068, You surround 5849 him with favor 7522 as with a shield 6793.

PSALM 6

Prayer for Mercy in Time of Trouble.

O LORD 3068, do not rebuke 3198 me in Your anger 639, Nor 408 chasten 3256 me in Your wrath 2534.
2 Be gracious 2603 to me, O LORD 3068, for I {am} pining 536 away 536; Heal 7495 me, O LORD 3068, for my bones 6106 are dismayed 926.
3 And my soul 5315 is greatly 3966 dismayed 926; But You, O LORD 3068--how 4970 long?
4 ¶ Return 7725, O LORD 3068, rescue 2502 my soul 5315; Save 3467 me because 4616 of Your lovingkindness 2617.
5 For there 369 is no 369 mention 2143 of You in death 4194; In Sheol 7585 who 4310 will give 3034 You thanks 3034?
6 ¶ I am weary 3021 with my sighing 585; Every 3605 night 3915 I make my bed 4296 swim 7811, I dissolve 4529 my couch 6210 with my tears 1832.
7 My eye 5869 has wasted 6244 away 6244 with grief 3708; It has become 6275 old 6275 because of all 3605 my adversaries 6887.
8 ¶ Depart 5493 from me, all 3605 you who do 6466 iniquity 205, For the LORD 3068 has heard 8085 the voice 6963 of my weeping 1065.
9 The LORD 3068 has heard 8085 my supplication 8467, The LORD 3068 receives 3947 my prayer 8605.
10 All 3605 my enemies 340 will be ashamed 954 and greatly 3966 dismayed 926; They shall turn 7725 back 7725, they will suddenly 7281 be ashamed 954.

PSALM 7

The L\{ORD}/ Implored to Defend the Psalmist against the Wicked.

O LORD 3068 my God 430, in You I have taken 2620 refuge 2620; Save 3467 me from all 3605 those who pursue 7291 me, and deliver 5337 me,
2 Or 6435 he will tear 2963 my soul 5315 like a lion 743, Dragging 6561 me away 6561, while there 369 is none 369 to deliver 5337.
3 ¶ O LORD 3068 my God 430, if 518 I have done 6213 this 384, If 518 there 3426 is injustice 5766 in my hands 3709,
4 If 518 I have rewarded 1580 evil 7451 to my friend 7999, Or have plundered 2502 him who without 7387 cause 7387 was my adversary 6887,
5 Let the enemy 340 pursue 7291 my soul 5315 and overtake 5381 {it;} And let him trample 7429 my life 2425 down 7429 to the ground 776 And lay 7931 my glory 3519 in the dust 6083. Selah 5542.
6 ¶ Arise 6965, O LORD 3068, in Your anger 639; Lift 5375 up Yourself against the rage 5678 of my adversaries 6887, And arouse 5782 Yourself for me; You have appointed 6680 judgment 4941.
7 Let the assembly 5712 of the peoples 3816 encompass 5437 You, And over 5921 them return 7725 on high 4791.
8 The LORD 3068 judges 1777 the peoples 5971; Vindicate 8199 me, O LORD 3068, according to my righteousness 6664 and my integrity 8537 that is in me.
9 O 4994 let the evil 7451 of the wicked 7563 come 1584 to an end 1584, but establish 3559 the righteous 6662; For the righteous 6662 God 430 tries 974 the hearts 3820 and minds 3629.
10 My shield 4043 is with God 430, Who saves 3467 the upright 3477 in heart 3820.
11 God 430 is a righteous 6662 judge 8199, And a God 410 who has indignation 2194 every 3605 day 3117.
12 ¶ If 518 a man does not repent 7725, He will sharpen 3913 His sword 2719; He has bent 1869 His bow 7198 and made 3559 it ready 3559.
13 He has also prepared 3559 for Himself deadly 4194 weapons 3627; He makes 6466 His arrows 2671 fiery 1814 shafts 1814.
14 Behold 2009, he travails 2254 with wickedness 205, And he conceives 2029 mischief 5999 and brings 3205 forth 3205 falsehood 8267.
15 He has dug 3738 a pit 953 and hollowed 2658 it out, And has fallen 5307 into the hole 7845 which he made 6466.
16 His mischief 5999 will return 7725 upon his own head 7218, And his violence 2555 will descend 3381 upon his own pate 6936.
17 ¶ I will give 3034 thanks 3034 to the LORD 3068 according to His righteousness 6664 And will sing 2167 praise 2167 to the name 8034 of the LORD 3068 Most 5945 High 5945.

The L\{ORD}/'\{S}/ Glory and Man's Dignity.

O LORD 3068, our Lord 136, How 4100 majestic 117 is Your name 8034 in all 3605 the earth 776, Who 834 have displayed 5414 Your splendor 1935 above 5921 the heavens 8064!
2 From the mouth 6310 of infants 5768 and nursing 3243 babes 3243 You have established 3245 strength 5797 Because 4616 of Your adversaries 6887, To make the enemy 340 and the revengeful 5358 cease 7673.
3 ¶ When 3588 I consider 7200 Your heavens 8064, the work 4639 of Your fingers 676, The moon 3394 and the stars 3556, which 834 You have ordained 3559;
4 What 4100 is man 582 that You take 2142 thought 2142 of him, And the son 1121 of man 120 that You care 6485 for him?
5 Yet You have made 2637 him a little 4592 lower 2637 than 4480 God 430, And You crown 5849 him with glory 3519 and majesty 1926!
6 You make him to rule 4910 over the works 4639 of Your hands 3027; You have put 7896 all 3605 things 3605 under 8478 his feet 7272,
7 All 3605 sheep 6792 and oxen 504, And also 1571 the beasts 929 of the field 7706,
8 The birds 6833 of the heavens 8064 and the fish 1709 of the sea 3220, Whatever passes 5674 through 5674 the paths 734 of the seas 3220.

PSALM 9

A Psalm of Thanksgiving for God's Justice.

I will give 3034 thanks 3034 to the LORD 3068 with all 3605 my heart 3820; I will tell 5608 of all 3605 Your wonders 6381.
2 I will be glad 8055 and exult 5970 in You; I will sing 2167 praise 2167 to Your name 8034, O Most 5945 High 5945.
3 ¶ When my enemies 340 turn 7725 back 268, They stumble 3782 and perish 6 before You.
4 For You have maintained 6213 my just 4941 cause 1779; You have sat 3427 on the throne 3678 judging 8199 righteously 6664.
5 You have rebuked 1605 the nations 1471, You have destroyed 6 the wicked 7563; You have blotted 4229 out their name 8034 forever 5769 and ever 5703.
6 The enemy 340 has come 8552 to an end 8552 in perpetual 5331 ruins 2723, And You have uprooted 5428 the cities 5892; The very 1992 memory 2143 of them has perished 6.
7 ¶ But the LORD 3068 abides 3427 forever 5769; He has established 3559 His throne 3678 for judgment 4941,
8 And He will judge 8199 the world 8398 in righteousness 6664; He will execute 1777 judgment 1777 for the peoples 3816 with equity 4339.
9 The LORD 3068 also will be a stronghold 4869 for the oppressed 1790, A stronghold 4869 in times 6256 of trouble 6869;
10 And those who know 3045 Your name 8034 will put 982 their trust 982 in You, For You, O LORD 3068, have not forsaken 5800 those who seek 1875 You.
11 ¶ Sing 2167 praises 2167 to the LORD 3068, who dwells 3427 in Zion 6726; Declare 5046 among the peoples 5971 His deeds 5949.
12 For He who requires 1875 blood 1818 remembers 2142 them; He does not forget 7911 the cry 6818 of the afflicted 6035.
13 Be gracious 2603 to me, O LORD 3068; See 7200 my affliction 6040 from those who hate 8130 me, You who lift 7311 me up from the gates 8179 of death 4194,
14 That I may tell 5608 of all 3605 Your praises 8416, That in the gates 8179 of the daughter 1323 of Zion 6726 I may rejoice 1523 in Your salvation 3444.
15 The nations 1471 have sunk 2883 down 2883 in the pit 7845 which they have made 6213; In the net 7568 which 2098 they hid 2934, their own foot 7272 has been caught 3920.
16 The LORD 3068 has made 3045 Himself known 3045; He has executed 6213 judgment 4941. In the work 6467 of his own hands 3709 the wicked 7563 is snared 5367. Higgaion 1902 Selah 5542.
17 ¶ The wicked 7563 will return 7725 to Sheol 7585, {Even} all 3605 the nations 1471 who 7913 forget 7913 God 430.
18 For the needy 34 will not always 5331 be forgotten 7911, Nor the hope 8615 of the afflicted 6041 perish 6 forever 5703.
19 Arise 6965, O LORD 3068, do not let man 582 prevail 5810; Let the nations 1471 be judged 8199 before You.
20 Put 7896 them in fear 4177, O LORD 3068; Let the nations 1471 know 3045 that they are but men 582. Selah 5542.

PSALM 10

A Prayer for the Overthrow of the Wicked.

Why do You stand 5975 afar 7350 off, O LORD 3068? Why do You hide 5956 {Yourself} in times 6256 of trouble 6869?
2 In pride 1346 the wicked 7563 hotly 1814 pursue 1814 the afflicted 6041; Let them be caught 8610 in the plots 4209 which 2098 they have devised 2803.
3 ¶ For the wicked 7563 boasts 1984 of his heart's 5315 desire 8378, And the greedy 1214 man 1214 curses 1288 {and} spurns 5006 the LORD 3068.
4 The wicked 7563, in the haughtiness 1363 of his countenance 639, does not seek 1875 {Him.} All 3605 his thoughts 4209 are, "There 369 is no 369 God 430."
5 ¶ His ways 1870 prosper 2342 at all 3605 times 6256; Your judgments 4941 are on high 4791, out of his sight 5048; As for all 3605 his adversaries 6887, he snorts 6315 at them.
6 He says 559 to himself 3820, "I will not be moved 4131; Throughout all 1755 generations 1755 I will not be in adversity 7451."
7 His mouth 6310 is full 4390 of curses 423 and deceit 4820 and oppression 8496; Under 8478 his tongue 3956 is mischief 5999 and wickedness 205.
8 He sits 3427 in the lurking 3993 places 3993 of the villages 2691; In the hiding 4565 places 4565 he kills 2026 the innocent 5355; His eyes 5869 stealthily 6845 watch 6845 for the unfortunate 2489.
9 He lurks 693 in a hiding 4565 place 4565 as a lion 743 in his lair 5520; He lurks 693 to catch 2414 the afflicted 6041; He catches 2414 the afflicted 6041 when he draws 4900 him into his net 7568.
10 He crouches 1794, he bows 7817 down 7817, And the unfortunate 2489 fall 5307 by his mighty 6099 ones 6099.
11 He says 559 to himself 3820, "God 410 has forgotten 7911; He has hidden 5641 His face 6440; He will never see 7200 it."
12 ¶ Arise 6965, O LORD 3068; O God 410, lift 5375 up Your hand 3027. Do not forget 7911 the afflicted 6035.
13 Why has the wicked 7563 spurned 5006 God 430? He has said 559 to himself 3820, "You will not require 1875 {it.}"
14 You have seen 7200 {it,} for You have beheld 5027 mischief 5999 and vexation 3708 to take 5414 it into Your hand 3027. The unfortunate 2489 commits 5800 {himself} to You; You have been 1961 the helper 5826 of the orphan 3490.
15 Break 7665 the arm 2220 of the wicked 7563 and the evildoer 7451, Seek 1875 out his wickedness 7562 until You find 4672 none 1077.
16 ¶ The LORD 3068 is King 4428 forever 5769 and ever 5703; Nations 1471 have perished 6 from His land 776.
17 O LORD 3068, You have heard 8085 the desire 8378 of the humble 6035; You will strengthen 3559 their heart 3820, You will incline 7181 Your ear 241
18 To vindicate 8199 the orphan 3490 and the oppressed 1790, So that man 582 who is of the earth 776 will no 1077 longer cause 6206 terror 6206.

In the LORD 3068 I take 2620 refuge 2620; How 349 can you say 559 to my soul 5315, "Flee 5110 {as} a bird 6833 to your mountain 2022;
2 For, behold 2009, the wicked 7563 bend 1869 the bow 7198, They make 3559 ready 3559 their arrow 2671 upon the string 3499 To shoot 3384 in darkness 652 at the upright 3477 in heart 3820.
3 If 3588 the foundations 8356 are destroyed 2040, What 4100 can the righteous 6662 do 6466?"
4 ¶ The LORD 3068 is in His holy 6944 temple 1964; the LORD'S 3068 throne 3678 is in heaven 8064; His eyes 5869 behold 2372, His eyelids 6079 test 974 the sons 1121 of men 120.
5 The LORD 3068 tests 974 the righteous 6662 and the wicked 7563, And the one who loves 157 violence 2555 His soul 5315 hates 8130.
6 Upon the wicked 7563 He will rain 4305 snares 6341; Fire 784 and brimstone 1614 and burning 2152 wind 7307 will be the portion 4521 of their cup 3563.
7 For the LORD 3068 is righteous 6662, He loves 157 righteousness 6666; The upright 3477 will behold 2372 His face 6440.

PSALM 12

God, a Helper against the Treacherous.

Help 3467, LORD 3068, for the godly 2623 man 2623 ceases 1584 to be, For the faithful 539 disappear 6461 from among the sons 1121 of men 120.
2 They speak 1696 falsehood 7723 to one 376 another 7453; With flattering 2513 lips 8193 and with a double 3820 heart 3820 they speak 1696.
3 May the LORD 3068 cut 3772 off 3772 all 3605 flattering 2513 lips 8193, The tongue 3956 that speaks 1696 great 1419 things 1419;
4 Who 834 have said 559, "With our tongue 3956 we will prevail 1396; Our lips 8193 are our own; who 4310 is lord 113 over us?"
5 "Because 4480 of the devastation 7701 of the afflicted 6041, because 4480 of the groaning 603 of the needy 34, Now 6258 I will arise 6965," says 559 the LORD 3068; "I will set 7896 him in the safety 3468 for which he longs 6315."
6 ¶ The words 565 of the LORD 3068 are pure 2889 words 565; As silver 3701 tried 6884 in a furnace 5948 on the earth 776, refined 2212 seven 7659 times 7659.
7 You, O LORD 3068, will keep 8104 them; You will preserve 5341 him from this 2098 generation 1755 forever 5769.
8 The wicked 7563 strut 1980 about on every 5439 side 5439 When vileness 2149 is exalted 7311 among the sons 1121 of men 120.

PSALM 13

Prayer for Help in Trouble.

How 575 long 5704, O LORD 3068? Will You forget 7911 me forever 5331? How 575 long 5704 will You hide 5641 Your face 6440 from me?
2 How 575 long 5704 shall I take 7896 counsel 6098 in my soul 5315, {Having} sorrow 3015 in my heart 3824 all the day 3119? How 575 long 5704 will my enemy 340 be exalted 7311 over 5921 me?
3 ¶ Consider 5027 {and} answer 6030 me, O LORD 3068 my God 430; Enlighten 215 my eyes 5869, or 6435 I will sleep 3462 the {sleep of} death 4194,
4 And my enemy 340 will say 559, "I have overcome 3201 him," {And} my adversaries 6862 will rejoice 1523 when 3588 I am shaken 4131.
5 ¶ But I have trusted 982 in Your lovingkindness 2617; My heart 3820 shall rejoice 1523 in Your salvation 3444.
6 I will sing 7891 to the LORD 3068, Because 3588 He has dealt 1580 bountifully 1580 with me.

PSALM 14

Folly and Wickedness of Men.

The fool 5036 has said 559 in his heart 3820, "There 369 is no 369 God 430." They are corrupt 7843, they have committed 8581 abominable 8581 deeds 5949; There 369 is no 369 one 369 who does 6213 good 2896.
2 The LORD 3068 has looked 8259 down 8259 from heaven 8064 upon the sons 1121 of men 120 To see 7200 if there 3426 are any 3426 who understand 7919, Who seek 1875 after God 430.
3 They have all 3605 turned 5493 aside 5493, together 3164 they have become 444 corrupt 444; There 369 is no 369 one 369 who does 6213 good 2896, not even 1571 one 259.
4 ¶ Do all 3605 the workers 6466 of wickedness 205 not know 3045, Who eat 398 up my people 5971 {as} they eat 398 bread 3899, {And} do not call 7121 upon the Lord 3068?
5 There 8033 they are in great 6343 dread 6342, For God 430 is with the righteous 6662 generation 1755.
6 You would put 954 to shame 954 the counsel 6098 of the afflicted 6041, But the LORD 3068 is his refuge 4268.
7 ¶ Oh, that the salvation 3444 of Israel 3478 would come out of Zion 6726! When the LORD 3068 restores 7725 His captive 7622 people 5971, Jacob 3290 will rejoice 1523, Israel 3478 will be glad 8055.

Description of a Citizen of Zion.

O LORD 3068, who 4310 may abide in Your tent 168? Who 4310 may dwell 7931 on Your holy 6944 hill 2022?
2 He who walks 1980 with integrity 8549, and works 6466 righteousness 6664, And speaks 1696 truth 571 in his heart 3824.
3 He does not slander 7270 with his tongue 3956, Nor 3808 does 6213 evil 7463 to his neighbor 7453, Nor 3808 takes 5375 up a reproach 2781 against 5921 his friend 7453;
4 In whose eyes 5869 a reprobate 3988 is despised 959, But who honors 3513 those who fear 3372 the LORD 3068; He swears 7650 to his own hurt 7489 and does not change 4171;
5 He does not put 5414 out his money 3701 at interest 5392, Nor 3808 does he take 3947 a bribe 7810 against 5921 the innocent 5355. He who does 6213 these 428 things 428 will never be shaken 4131.

PSALM 16

The L\{ORD}/ the Psalmist's Portion in Life and Deliverer in Death.

Preserve 8104 me, O God 410, for I take 2620 refuge 2620 in You.
2 I said 559 to the LORD 3068, "You are my Lord 136; I have no 1077 good 2899 besides 5921 You."
3 As for the saints 6918 who 834 are in the earth 776, They are the majestic 117 ones 117 in whom is all 3605 my delight 2656.
4 The sorrows 6094 of those who have bartered 4117 for another 312 {god} will be multiplied 7235; I shall not pour 5258 out their drink 5262 offerings 5262 of blood 1818, Nor 1077 will I take 5375 their names 8034 upon my lips 8193.
5 ¶ The LORD 3068 is the portion 4521 of my inheritance 2506 and my cup 3563; You support 8551 my lot 1486.
6 The lines 2256 have fallen 5307 to me in pleasant 5273 places; Indeed 637, my heritage 5159 is beautiful 8231 to me.
7 ¶ I will bless 1288 the LORD 3068 who 834 has counseled 3289 me; Indeed 637, my mind 3629 instructs 3256 me in the night 3915.
8 I have set 7737 the LORD 3068 continually 8548 before 5048 me; Because 3588 He is at my right 3225 hand 3225, I will not be shaken 4131.
9 Therefore 3651 my heart 3820 is glad 8055 and my glory 3519 rejoices 1523; My flesh 1320 also 637 will dwell 7931 securely 983.
10 For You will not abandon 5800 my soul 5315 to Sheol 7585; Nor 3808 will You allow 5414 Your Holy 2623 One 2623 to undergo 7845 decay 7845.
11 You will make 3045 known 3045 to me the path 734 of life 2425; In Your presence 6440 is fullness 7648 of joy 8057; In Your right 3225 hand 3225 there are pleasures 5273 forever 5331.

PSALM 17

Prayer for Protection against Oppressors.

Hear 8085 a just 6664 cause 6664, O LORD 3068, give 7181 heed 7181 to my cry 7440; Give 238 ear 238 to my prayer 8605, which is not from deceitful 4820 lips 8193.
2 Let my judgment 4941 come 3318 forth 3318 from Your presence 6440; Let Your eyes 5869 look 2372 with equity 4339.
3 You have tried 974 my heart 3820; You have visited 6485 {me} by night 3915; You have tested 6884 me and You find 4672 nothing 1077; I have purposed 2161 that my mouth 6310 will not transgress 5674.
4 As for the deeds 6468 of men 120, by the word 1697 of Your lips 8193 I have kept 8104 from the paths 734 of the violent 6530.
5 My steps 804 have held 8551 fast 8551 to Your paths 4570. My feet 6471 have not slipped 4131.
6 ¶ I have called 7121 upon You, for You will answer 6030 me, O God 410; Incline 5186 Your ear 241 to me, hear 8085 my speech 565.
7 Wondrously 6395 show 6395 Your lovingkindness 2617, O Savior 3467 of those who take 2620 refuge 2620 at Your right 3225 hand 3225 From those who rise 6965 up {against them.}
8 Keep 8104 me as the apple 380 of the eye 5869; Hide 5641 me in the shadow 6738 of Your wings 3671
9 From the wicked 7563 who despoil 7703 me, My deadly 5315 enemies 340 who surround 5362 me.
10 They have closed 5462 their unfeeling 2459 {heart,} With their mouth 6310 they speak 1696 proudly 1348.
11 They have now 6258 surrounded 5437 us in our steps 838; They set 7896 their eyes 5869 to cast 5186 {us} down 5186 to the ground 776.
12 He is like 1825 a lion 743 that is eager 3700 to tear 2963, And as a young 3715 lion 3715 lurking 3427 in hiding 4565 places 4565.
13 ¶ Arise 6965, O LORD 3068, confront 6923 him, bring 3766 him low 3766; Deliver 6403 my soul 5315 from the wicked 7563 with Your sword 2719,
14 From men 4962 with Your hand 3027, O LORD 3068, From men 4962 of the world 2465, whose portion 2506 is in {this} life 2425, And whose belly 990 You fill 4390 with Your treasure 6840; They are satisfied 7646 with children 1121, And leave 5117 their abundance 3499 to their babes 5768.
15 As for me, I shall behold 2372 Your face 6440 in righteousness 6664; I will be satisfied 7646 with Your likeness 8544 when I awake 7019.

PSALM 18

The L\{ORD}/ Praised for Giving Deliverance.

"I love 7355 You, O LORD 3068, my strength 2391."
2 The LORD 3068 is my rock 5553 and my fortress 4686 and my deliverer 6403, My God 410, my rock 6697, in whom I take 2620 refuge 2620; My shield 4043 and the horn 7161 of my salvation 3468, my stronghold 4869.
3 I call 7121 upon the LORD 3068, who is worthy to be praised 1984, And I am saved 3467 from my enemies 340.
4 ¶ The cords 2256 of death 4194 encompassed 661 me, And the torrents 5158 of ungodliness 1100 terrified 1204 me.
5 The cords 2256 of Sheol 7585 surrounded 5437 me; The snares 4170 of death 4194 confronted 6923 me.
6 In my distress 6862 I called 7121 upon the LORD 3068, And cried 7768 to my God 430 for help 7768; He heard 8085 my voice 6963 out of His temple 1964, And my cry 7775 for help 7775 before 6440 Him came 935 into His ears 241.
7 ¶ Then the earth 776 shook 1607 and quaked 7493; And the foundations 4144 of the mountains 2022 were trembling 7264 And were shaken 1607, because 3588 He was angry 2734.
8 Smoke 6227 went 5927 up out of His nostrils 639, And fire 784 from His mouth 6310 devoured 398; Coals 1513 were kindled 1197 by it.
9 He bowed 5186 the heavens 8064 also, and came 3381 down 3381 With thick 6205 darkness 6205 under 8478 His feet 7272.
10 He rode 7392 upon a cherub 3742 and flew 5774; And He sped 1675 upon the wings 3671 of the wind 7307.
11 He made 7896 darkness 2822 His hiding 5643 place 5643, His canopy 5521 around 5439 Him, Darkness 2825 of waters 4325, thick 5645 clouds 5645 of the skies 7834.
12 From the brightness 5051 before 5048 Him passed 5674 His thick 5645 clouds 5645, Hailstones 1259 and coals 1513 of fire 784.
13 The LORD 3068 also thundered 7481 in the heavens 8064, And the Most 5945 High 5945 uttered 5414 His voice 6963, Hailstones 1259 and coals 1513 of fire 784.
14 He sent 7971 out His arrows 2671, and scattered 6327 them, And lightning 1300 flashes 1300 in abundance 7227, and routed 2000 them.
15 Then the channels 650 of water 4325 appeared 7200, And the foundations 4144 of the world 8398 were laid 1540 bare 1540 At Your rebuke 1606, O LORD 3068, At the blast 5397 of the breath 7307 of Your nostrils 639.
16 ¶ He sent 7971 from on high 4791, He took 3947 me; He drew 4871 me out of many 7227 waters 4325.
17 He delivered 5337 me from my strong 5794 enemy 340, And from those who hated 8130 me, for they were too 4480 mighty 553 for me.
18 They confronted 6923 me in the day 3117 of my calamity 343, But the LORD 3068 was my stay 4937.
19 He brought 3318 me forth 3318 also into a broad 4800 place 4800; He rescued 2502 me, because 3588 He delighted 2654 in me.
20 ¶ The LORD 3068 has rewarded 1580 me according to my righteousness 6664; According to the cleanness 1252 of my hands 3027 He has recompensed 7725 me.
21 For I have kept 8104 the ways 1870 of the LORD 3068, And have not wickedly 7561 departed 7561 from my God 430.
22 For all 3605 His ordinances 4941 were before 5048 me, And I did not put 5493 away 5493 His statutes 2708 from me.
23 I was also blameless 8549 with Him, And I kept 8104 myself from my iniquity 5771.
24 Therefore the LORD 3068 has recompensed 7725 me according to my righteousness 6664, According to the cleanness 1252 of my hands 3027 in His eyes 5869.
25 ¶ With the kind 2623 You show 2616 Yourself kind 2616; With the blameless 8549 You show 8552 Yourself blameless 8552;
26 With the pure 1305 You show 1305 Yourself pure 1305, And with the crooked 6141 You show 6617 Yourself astute 6617.
27 For You save 3467 an afflicted 6041 people 5971, But haughty 7311 eyes 5869 You abase 8213.
28 For You light 215 my lamp 5216; The LORD 3068 my God 430 illumines 5050 my darkness 2822.
29 For by You I can run 7323 upon a troop 1416; And by my God 430 I can leap 1801 over a wall 7791.
30 ¶ As for God 410, His way 1870 is blameless 8549; The word 565 of the LORD 3068 is tried 6884; He is a shield 4043 to all 3605 who take 2620 refuge 2620 in Him.
31 For who 4310 is God 433, but the LORD 3068? And who 4310 is a rock 6697, except 2108 our God 430,
32 The God 410 who girds 247 me with strength 2428 And makes 5414 my way 1870 blameless 8549?
33 He makes 7737 my feet 7272 like hinds' 355 {feet,} And sets 5975 me upon my high 1116 places 1116.
34 He trains 3925 my hands 3027 for battle 4421, So that my arms 2220 can bend 5181 a bow 7198 of bronze 5154.
35 You have also given 5414 me the shield 4043 of Your salvation 3468, And Your right 3225 hand 3225 upholds 5582 me; And Your gentleness 6038 makes 7235 me great 7235.
36 You enlarge 7337 my steps 6806 under 8478 me, And my feet 7166 have not slipped 4571.
37 ¶ I pursued 7291 my enemies 340 and overtook 5381 them, And I did not turn 7725 back 7725 until 5704 they were consumed 3615.
38 I shattered 4272 them, so that they were not able 3201 to rise 6965; They fell 5307 under 8478 my feet 7272.
39 For You have girded 247 me with strength 2428 for battle 4421; You have subdued 3766 under 8478 me those who rose 6965 up against me.
40 You have also made 5414 my enemies 340 turn 5414 their backs 6203 to me, And I destroyed 6789 those who hated 8130 me.
41 They cried 7768 for help 7768, but there 369 was none 369 to save 3467, {Even} to the LORD 3068, but He did not answer 6030 them.
42 Then I beat 7833 them fine 7833 as the dust 6083 before the wind 7307; I emptied 7385 them out as the mire 2916 of the streets 2351.
43 ¶ You have delivered 6403 me from the contentions 7379 of the people 5971; You have placed 7760 me as head 7218 of the nations 1471; A people 5971 whom I have not known 3045 serve 5647 me.
44 As soon as they hear, they obey 8085 me; Foreigners submit 3584 to me.
45 Foreigners fade 5034 away 5034, And come 2727 trembling 2727 out of their fortresses 4526.
46 ¶ The LORD 3068 lives 2416, and blessed 1288 be my rock 6697; And exalted 7311 be the God 430 of my salvation 3468,
47 The God 410 who executes 5414 vengeance 5360 for me, And subdues 1696 peoples 5971 under 8478 me.
48 He delivers 6403 me from my enemies 340; Surely 637 You lift 7311 me above 4480 those who rise 6965 up against me; You rescue 5337 me from the violent 2555 man 376.
49 Therefore I will give 3034 thanks 3034 to You among the nations 1471, O LORD 3068, And I will sing 2167 praises 2167 to Your name 8034.
50 He gives great 1431 deliverance 3444 to His king 4428, And shows 6213 lovingkindness 2617 to His anointed 4899, To David 1732 and his descendants 2233 forever.

PSALM 19

The Works and the Word of God.

The heavens 8064 are telling 5608 of the glory 3519 of God 410; And their expanse 7549 is declaring 5046 the work 4639 of His hands 3027.
2 Day 3117 to day 3117 pours 5042 forth 5042 speech 561, And night 3915 to night 3915 reveals 2331 knowledge 1847.
3 There 369 is no 369 speech 561, nor 369 are there 369 words 561; Their voice 6963 is not heard 8085.
4 Their line 6957 has gone 3318 out through all 3605 the earth 776, And their utterances 4405 to the end 7097 of the world 8398. In them He has placed 7760 a tent 168 for the sun 8121,
5 Which 1931 is as a bridegroom 2860 coming 3318 out of his chamber 2646; It rejoices 7797 as a strong 1368 man 1368 to run 7323 his course 734.
6 Its rising 4161 is from one end 7097 of the heavens 8064, And its circuit 8622 to the other end 7098 of them; And there 369 is nothing 369 hidden 5641 from its heat 2535.
7 ¶ The law 8451 of the LORD 3068 is perfect 8549, restoring 7725 the soul 5315; The testimony 5715 of the LORD 3068 is sure 539, making 2449 wise 2449 the simple 6612.
8 The precepts 6490 of the LORD 3068 are right 3477, rejoicing 8055 the heart 3820; The commandment 4687 of the LORD 3068 is pure 1249, enlightening 215 the eyes 5869.
9 The fear 3374 of the LORD 3068 is clean 2889, enduring 5975 forever 5703; The judgments 4941 of the LORD 3068 are true 571; they are righteous 6663 altogether 3164.
10 They are more 4480 desirable 2530 than 4480 gold 2091, yes, than 4480 much 7227 fine 6337 gold 6337; Sweeter 4966 also than 4480 honey 1706 and the drippings 5317 of the honeycomb 6688.
11 Moreover 1571, by them Your servant 5650 is warned 2094; In keeping 8104 them there is great 7227 reward 6118.
12 Who 4310 can discern 995 {his} errors 7691? Acquit 5352 me of hidden 5641 {faults.}
13 Also 1571 keep 2820 back 2820 Your servant 5650 from presumptuous 2086 {sins;} Let them not rule 4910 over me; Then 227 I will be blameless 8552, And I shall be acquitted 5352 of great 7227 transgression 6588.
14 Let the words 561 of my mouth 6310 and the meditation 1902 of my heart 3820 Be acceptable 7522 in Your sight 6440, O LORD 3068, my rock 6697 and my Redeemer 1350.

PSALM 20

Prayer for Victory over Enemies.

May the LORD 3068 answer 6030 you in the day 3117 of trouble 6869! May the name 8034 of the God 430 of Jacob 3290 set 7682 you {securely} on high 7682!
2 May He send 7971 you help 5828 from the sanctuary 6944 And support 5582 you from Zion 6726!
3 May He remember 2142 all 3605 your meal 4503 offerings 4503 And find 1878 your burnt 5930 offering 5930 acceptable 1878! Selah 5542.
4 ¶ May He grant 5414 you your heart's 3824 desire And fulfill 4390 all 3605 your counsel 6098!
5 We will sing 7442 for joy 7442 over your victory 3444, And in the name 8034 of our God 430 we will set 1713 up our banners 1713. May the LORD 3068 fulfill 4390 all 3605 your petitions 4862.
6 ¶ Now 6258 I know 3045 that the LORD 3068 saves 3467 His anointed 4899; He will answer 6030 him from His holy 6944 heaven 8064 With the saving 3468 strength 1369 of His right 3225 hand 3225.
7 Some 428 {boast} in chariots 7393 and some 428 in horses 5483, But we will boast 2142 in the name 8034 of the LORD 3068, our God 430.
8 They have bowed 3766 down 3766 and fallen 5307, But we have risen 6965 and stood 5749 upright 5749.
9 Save 3467, O LORD 3068; May the King 4428 answer 6030 us in the day 3117 we call 7121.

PSALM 21

Praise for Deliverance.

O LORD 3068, in Your strength 5797 the king 4428 will be glad 8055, And in Your salvation 3444 how 4100 greatly 3966 he will rejoice 1523!
2 You have given 5414 him his heart's 3820 desire 8378, And You have not withheld 4513 the request 782 of his lips 8193. Selah 5542.
3 For You meet 6923 him with the blessings 1293 of good 2896 things 2896; You set 7896 a crown 5850 of fine 6337 gold 6337 on his head 7218.
4 He asked 7592 life 2425 of You, You gave 5414 it to him, Length 753 of days 3117 forever 5769 and ever 5703.
5 His glory 3519 is great 1419 through Your salvation 3444, Splendor 1935 and majesty 1926 You place 7737 upon him.
6 For You make 7896 him most 1293 blessed 1293 forever 5703; You make 2302 him joyful 2302 with gladness 8057 in Your presence 6440.
7 ¶ For the king 4428 trusts 982 in the LORD 3068, And through the lovingkindness 2617 of the Most 5945 High 5945 he will not be shaken 4131.
8 Your hand 3027 will find 4672 out all 3605 your enemies 340; Your right 3225 hand 3027 will find 4672 out those who hate 8130 you.
9 You will make 7896 them as a fiery 784 oven 8574 in the time 6256 of your anger 6440; The LORD 3068 will swallow 1104 them up in His wrath 639, And fire 784 will devour 398 them.
10 Their offspring 6529 You will destroy 6 from the earth 776, And their descendants 2233 from among the sons 1121 of men 120.
11 Though 3588 they intended 5186 evil 7463 against 5921 You {And} devised 2803 a plot 4209, They will not succeed 3201.
12 For You will make 7896 them turn 7896 their back 7926; You will aim 3559 with Your bowstrings 4340 at their faces 6440.
13 Be exalted 7311, O LORD 3068, in Your strength 5797; We will sing 7891 and praise 2167 Your power 1369.

PSALM 22

A Cry of Anguish and a Song of Praise.

My God 410, my God 410, why 4100 have You forsaken 5800 me? Far 7350 from my deliverance 3444 are the words 1697 of my groaning 7581.
2 O my God 430, I cry 7121 by day 3119, but You do not answer 6030; And by night 3915, but I have no 3808 rest 1747.
3 Yet You are holy 6918, O You who are enthroned 3427 upon the praises 8416 of Israel 3478.
4 In You our fathers 1 trusted 982; They trusted 982 and You delivered 6403 them.
5 To You they cried 2199 out and were delivered 4422; In You they trusted 982 and were not disappointed 954.
6 ¶ But I am a worm 8439 and not a man 376, A reproach 2781 of men 120 and despised 959 by the people 5971.
7 All 3605 who see 7200 me sneer 3932 at me; They separate 6362 with the lip 8193, they wag 5128 the head 7218, {saying,}
8 "Commit 1556 {yourself} to the LORD 3068; let Him deliver 6403 him; Let Him rescue 5337 him, because 3588 He delights 2654 in him."
9 ¶ Yet 3588 You are He who brought 1518 me forth 1518 from the womb 990; You made me trust 982 {when} upon my mother's 517 breasts 7699.
10 Upon You I was cast 7993 from birth 7358; You have been my God 410 from my mother's 517 womb 990.
11 ¶ Be not far 7368 from me, for trouble 6869 is near 7138; For there 369 is none 369 to help 5826.
12 Many 7227 bulls 6499 have surrounded 5437 me; Strong 47 {bulls} of Bashan 1316 have encircled 3803 me.
13 They open 6475 wide 6475 their mouth 6310 at me, As a ravening 2963 and a roaring 7580 lion 743.
14 I am poured 8210 out like water 4325, And all 3605 my bones 6106 are out of joint 6504; My heart 3820 is like wax 1749; It is melted 4549 within 8432 me.
15 My strength 3581 is dried 3001 up like a potsherd 2789, And my tongue 3956 cleaves 1692 to my jaws 4455; And You lay 8239 me in the dust 6083 of death 4194.
16 For dogs 3611 have surrounded 5437 me; A band 5712 of evildoers 7489 has encompassed 5362 me; They pierced 3564 my hands 3027 and my feet 7272.
17 I can count 5608 all 3605 my bones 6106. They look 5027, they stare 7200 at me;
18 They divide 2505 my garments 899 among them, And for my clothing 3830 they cast 5307 lots 1486.
19 ¶ But You, O LORD 3068, be not far 7368 off; O You my help 360, hasten 2363 to my assistance 5833.
20 Deliver 5337 my soul 5315 from the sword 2719, My only 3173 {life} from the power 3027 of the dog 3611.
21 Save 3467 me from the lion's 743 mouth 6310; From the horns 7161 of the wild 7214 oxen 7214 You answer 6030 me.
22 ¶ I will tell 5608 of Your name 8034 to my brethren 251; In the midst 8432 of the assembly 6951 I will praise 1984 You.
23 You who fear 3372 the LORD 3068, praise 1984 Him; All 3605 you descendants 2233 of Jacob 3290, glorify 3513 Him, And stand 1481 in awe 1481 of Him, all 3605 you descendants 2233 of Israel 3478.
24 For He has not despised 959 nor 3808 abhorred 8262 the affliction 6039 of the afflicted 6041; Nor 3808 has He hidden 5641 His face 6440 from him; But when he cried 7768 to Him for help 7768, He heard 8085.
25 ¶ From You {comes} my praise 8416 in the great 7227 assembly 6951; I shall pay 7999 my vows 5088 before 5048 those who fear 3372 Him.
26 The afflicted 6035 will eat 398 and be satisfied 7646; Those who seek 1875 Him will praise 1984 the LORD 3068. Let your heart 3824 live 2421 forever 5703!
27 All 3605 the ends 657 of the earth 776 will remember 2142 and turn 7725 to the LORD 3068, And all 3605 the families 4940 of the nations 1471 will worship 7812 before 6440 You.
28 For the kingdom 4410 is the LORD'S 3068 And He rules 4910 over the nations 1471.
29 All 3605 the prosperous 1879 of the earth 776 will eat 398 and worship 7812, All 3605 those who go 3381 down 3381 to the dust 6083 will bow 3766 before 6440 Him, Even he who cannot 3808 keep 2421 his soul 5315 alive 2421.
30 Posterity 2233 will serve 5647 Him; It will be told 5608 of the Lord 136 to the {coming} generation 1755.
31 They will come 935 and will declare 5046 His righteousness 6666 To a people 5971 who will be born 3205, that He has performed 6213 {it.}

The L\{ORD}/, the Psalmist's Shepherd.

The LORD 3068 is my shepherd 7462, I shall not want 2637.
2 He makes me lie 7257 down 7257 in green 1877 pastures 5116; He leads 5095 me beside 5921 quiet 4496 waters 4325.
3 He restores 7725 my soul 5315; He guides 5148 me in the paths 4570 of righteousness 6664 For His name's 8034 sake 4616.
4 ¶ Even 1571 though 3588 I walk 1980 through the valley 1516 of the shadow 6757 of death 6757, I fear 3372 no 3808 evil 7451, for You are with me; Your rod 7626 and Your staff 4938, they comfort 5162 me.
5 You prepare 6186 a table 7979 before 6440 me in the presence 5048 of my enemies 6887; You have anointed 1878 my head 7218 with oil 8081; My cup 3563 overflows 7310.
6 Surely 389 goodness 2896 and lovingkindness 2617 will follow 7291 me all 3605 the days 3117 of my life 2425, And I will dwell 3427 in the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 forever.

The King of Glory Entering Zion.

The earth 776 is the LORD'S 3068, and all 4393 it contains 4393, The world 8398, and those who dwell 3427 in it.
2 For He has founded 3245 it upon the seas 3220 And established 3559 it upon the rivers 5104.
3 Who 4310 may ascend 5927 into the hill 2022 of the LORD 3068? And who 4310 may stand 6965 in His holy 6944 place 4725?
4 He who has clean 5355 hands 3709 and a pure 1249 heart 3824, Who 834 has not lifted 5375 up his soul 5315 to falsehood 7723 And has not sworn 7650 deceitfully 4820.
5 He shall receive 5375 a blessing 1293 from the LORD 3068 And righteousness 6666 from the God 430 of his salvation 3468.
6 This 2088 is the generation 1755 of those who seek 1875 Him, Who seek 1245 Your face 6440--{even} Jacob 3290. Selah 5542.
7 ¶ Lift 5375 up your heads 7218, O gates 8179, And be lifted 5375 up, O ancient 5769 doors 6607, That the King 4428 of glory 3519 may come 935 in!
8 Who 4310 is the King 4428 of glory 3519? The LORD 3068 strong 5808 and mighty 1368, The LORD 3068 mighty 1368 in battle 4421.
9 Lift 5375 up your heads 7218, O gates 8179, And lift 5375 {them} up, O ancient 5769 doors 6607, That the King 4428 of glory 3519 may come 935 in!
10 Who 4310 is this 2088 King 4428 of glory 3519? The LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, He is the King 4428 of glory 3519. Selah 5542.

To You, O LORD 3068, I lift 5375 up my soul 5315.
2 O my God 430, in You I trust 982, Do not let me be ashamed 954; Do not let my enemies 340 exult 5970 over me.
3 Indeed 1571, none of those who wait 6960 for You will be ashamed 954; Those who deal 898 treacherously 898 without 7387 cause 7387 will be ashamed 954.
4 ¶ Make me know 3045 Your ways 1870, O LORD 3068; Teach 3925 me Your paths 734.
5 Lead 1869 me in Your truth 571 and teach 3925 me, For You are the God 430 of my salvation 3468; For You I wait 6960 all 3605 the day 3117.
6 Remember 2142, O LORD 3068, Your compassion 7356 and Your lovingkindnesses 2617, For they have been from of old 5769.
7 Do not remember 2142 the sins 2403 of my youth 5271 or my transgressions 6588; According to Your lovingkindness 2617 remember 2142 me, For Your goodness' 2898 sake 4616, O LORD 3068.
8 ¶ Good 2896 and upright 3477 is the LORD 3068; Therefore He instructs 3384 sinners 2400 in the way 1870.
9 He leads 1869 the humble 6035 in justice 4941, And He teaches 3925 the humble 6035 His way 1870.
10 All 3605 the paths 734 of the LORD 3068 are lovingkindness 2617 and truth 571 To those who keep 5341 His covenant 1285 and His testimonies 5713.
11 For Your name's 8034 sake 4616, O LORD 3068, Pardon 5545 my iniquity 5771, for it is great 7227.
12 ¶ Who 4310 is the man 376 who fears 3372 the LORD 3068? He will instruct 3384 him in the way 1870 he should choose 977.
13 His soul 5315 will abide 3885 in prosperity 2896, And his descendants 2233 will inherit 3423 the land 776.
14 The secret 5475 of the LORD 3068 is for those who fear 3372 Him, And He will make them know 3045 His covenant 1285.
15 My eyes 5869 are continually 8548 toward 413 the LORD 3068, For He will pluck 3318 my feet 7272 out of the net 7568.
16 ¶ Turn 6437 to me and be gracious 2603 to me, For I am lonely 3173 and afflicted 6041.
17 The troubles 6869 of my heart 3824 are enlarged 7337; Bring 3318 me out of my distresses 4691.
18 Look 7200 upon my affliction 6040 and my trouble 5999, And forgive 5375 all 3605 my sins 2403.
19 Look 7200 upon my enemies 340, for they are many 7231, And they hate 8130 me with violent 2555 hatred 8135.
20 Guard 8104 my soul 5315 and deliver 5337 me; Do not let me be ashamed 954, for I take 2620 refuge 2620 in You.
21 Let integrity 8537 and uprightness 3476 preserve 5341 me, For I wait 6960 for You.

2 Examine 974 me, O LORD 3068, and try 5254 me; Test 6884 my mind 3629 and my heart 3820.
3 For Your lovingkindness 2617 is before 6440 my eyes 5869, And I have walked 1980 in Your truth 571.
4 I do not sit 3427 with deceitful 7723 men 4962, Nor 3808 will I go 935 with pretenders 5956.
5 I hate 8130 the assembly 6951 of evildoers 7489, And I will not sit 3427 with the wicked 7563.
6 I shall wash 7364 my hands 3709 in innocence 5356, And I will go 5437 about 5437 Your altar 4196, O LORD 3068,
7 That I may proclaim 8085 with the voice 6963 of thanksgiving 8426 And declare 5608 all 3605 Your wonders 6381.

9 Do not take 622 my soul 5315 away 622 {along} with sinners 2400, Nor 408 my life 2425 with men 376 of bloodshed 1818,
10 In whose 834 hands 3027 is a wicked 2154 scheme 2154, And whose right 3225 hand 3225 is full 4390 of bribes 7810.
11 But as for me, I shall walk 1980 in my integrity 8537; Redeem 6299 me, and be gracious 2603 to me.

PSALM 27

A Psalm of Fearless Trust in God.

The LORD 3068 is my light 216 and my salvation 3468; Whom 4310 shall I fear 3372? The LORD 3068 is the defense 4581 of my life 2425; Whom 4310 shall I dread 6342?
2 When evildoers 7489 came 7126 upon me to devour 398 my flesh 1320, My adversaries 6862 and my enemies 340, they stumbled 3782 and fell 5307.
3 Though 518 a host 4264 encamp 2583 against 5921 me, My heart 3820 will not fear 3372; Though 518 war 4421 arise 6965 against 5921 me, In {spite of} this 384 I shall be confident 982.
4 ¶ One 259 thing 259 I have asked 7592 from the LORD 3068, that I shall seek 1245: That I may dwell 3427 in the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 all 3605 the days 3117 of my life 2425, To behold 2372 the beauty 5278 of the LORD 3068 And to meditate 1239 in His temple 1964.
5 For in the day 3117 of trouble 7463 He will conceal 6845 me in His tabernacle 5520; In the secret 5643 place 5643 of His tent 168 He will hide 5641 me; He will lift 7311 me up on a rock 6697.
6 And now 6258 my head 7218 will be lifted 7311 up above 5921 my enemies 340 around 5439 me, And I will offer 2076 in His tent 168 sacrifices 2077 with shouts 8643 of joy 8643; I will sing 7891, yes, I will sing 2167 praises 2167 to the LORD 3068.
7 ¶ Hear 8085, O LORD 3068, when I cry 7121 with my voice 6963, And be gracious 2603 to me and answer 6030 me.
8 {When You said,} "Seek 1245 My face 6440," my heart 3820 said 559 to You, "Your face 6440, O LORD 3068, I shall seek 1245."
9 Do not hide 5641 Your face 6440 from me, Do not turn 5186 Your servant 5650 away 5186 in anger 639; You have been 1961 my help 5833; Do not abandon 5203 me nor 408 forsake 5800 me, O God 430 of my salvation 3468!
10 For my father 1 and my mother 517 have forsaken 5800 me, But the LORD 3068 will take 622 me up.
11 ¶ Teach 3384 me Your way 1870, O LORD 3068, And lead 5148 me in a level 4334 path 734 Because 4616 of my foes 7796.
12 Do not deliver 5414 me over to the desire 5315 of my adversaries 6862, For false 8267 witnesses 5707 have risen 6965 against me, And such as breathe 3307 out violence 2555.
13 {I would have despaired} unless 3884 I had believed 539 that I would see 7200 the goodness 2898 of the LORD 3068 In the land 776 of the living 2416.
14 Wait 6960 for the LORD 3068; Be strong 2388 and let your heart 3820 take 553 courage 553; Yes, wait 6960 for the LORD 3068.

A Prayer for Help, and Praise for Its Answer.

To You, O LORD 3068, I call 7121; My rock 6697, do not be deaf 2790 to me, For if You are silent 2814 to me, I will become 4911 like 4911 those who go 3381 down 3381 to the pit 953.
2 Hear 8085 the voice 6963 of my supplications 8469 when I cry 7768 to You for help 7768, When I lift 5375 up my hands 3027 toward 413 Your holy 6944 sanctuary 1687.
3 Do not drag 4900 me away 4900 with the wicked 7563 And with those who work 6466 iniquity 205, Who speak 1696 peace 7965 with their neighbors 7453, While evil 7463 is in their hearts 3824.
4 Requite 5414 them according to their work 6467 and according to the evil 7455 of their practices 4611; Requite 5414 them according to the deeds 4639 of their hands 3027; Repay 7725 them their recompense 1576.
5 Because 3588 they do not regard 995 the works 6468 of the LORD 3068 Nor 3808 the deeds 4639 of His hands 3027, He will tear 2040 them down 2040 and not build 1129 them up.
6 ¶ Blessed 1288 be the LORD 3068, Because 3588 He has heard 8085 the voice 6963 of my supplication 8469.
7 The LORD 3068 is my strength 5797 and my shield 4043; My heart 3820 trusts 982 in Him, and I am helped 5826; Therefore my heart 3820 exults 5937, And with my song 7892 I shall thank 3034 Him.
8 The LORD 3068 is their strength 5797, And He is a saving 3444 defense 4581 to His anointed 4899.
9 Save 3467 Your people 5971 and bless 1288 Your inheritance 5159; Be their shepherd 7462 also, and carry 5375 them forever.

PSALM 29

The Voice of the L\{ORD}/ in the Storm.

Ascribe 3051 to the LORD 3068, O sons 1121 of the mighty 410, Ascribe 3051 to the LORD 3068 glory 3519 and strength 5797.
2 Ascribe 3051 to the LORD 3068 the glory 3519 due to His name 8034; Worship 7812 the LORD 3068 in holy 6944 array 1927.
3 ¶ The voice 6963 of the LORD 3068 is upon the waters 4325; The God 410 of glory 3519 thunders 7481, The LORD 3068 is over 5921 many 7227 waters 4325.
4 The voice 6963 of the LORD 3068 is powerful 3581, The voice 6963 of the LORD 3068 is majestic 1926.
5 The voice 6963 of the LORD 3068 breaks 7665 the cedars 730; Yes, the LORD 3068 breaks 7665 in pieces 7665 the cedars 730 of Lebanon 3844.
6 He makes Lebanon 3844 skip 7540 like 3644 a calf 5695, And Sirion 8303 like 3644 a young 1121 wild 7214 ox 7214.
7 The voice 6963 of the LORD 3068 hews 2672 out flames 3852 of fire 784.
8 The voice 6963 of the LORD 3068 shakes 2342 the wilderness 4057; The LORD 3068 shakes 2342 the wilderness 4057 of Kadesh 6946.
9 The voice 6963 of the LORD 3068 makes the deer 355 to calve 2342 And strips 2834 the forests 3293 bare 2834; And in His temple 1964 everything 3605 says 559, "Glory 3519!"
10 ¶ The LORD 3068 sat 3427 {as King} at the flood 3999; Yes, the LORD 3068 sits 3427 as King 4428 forever 5769.
11 The LORD 3068 will give 5414 strength 5797 to His people 5971; The LORD 3068 will bless 1288 His people 5971 with peace 7965.

PSALM 30

Thanksgiving for Deliverance from Death.

I will extol 7311 You, O LORD 3068, for You have lifted 1802 me up, And have not let my enemies 340 rejoice 8055 over me.
2 O LORD 3068 my God 430, I cried 7768 to You for help 7768, and You healed 7495 me.
3 O LORD 3068, You have brought 5927 up my soul 5315 from Sheol 7585; You have kept 2421 me alive 2421, that I would not go 3381 down 3381 to the pit 953.
4 Sing 2167 praise 2167 to the LORD 3068, you His godly 2623 ones 2623, And give 3034 thanks 3034 to His holy 6944 name 2143.
5 For His anger 639 is but for a moment 7281, His favor 7522 is for a lifetime 2425; Weeping 1065 may last 3885 for the night 6153, But a shout 7440 of joy 7440 {comes} in the morning 1242.
6 ¶ Now as for me, I said 559 in my prosperity 7959, "I will never be moved 4131."
7 O LORD 3068, by Your favor 7522 You have made my mountain 2022 to stand 5975 strong 5797; You hid 5641 Your face 6440, I was dismayed 926.
8 To You, O LORD 3068, I called 7121, And to the Lord 3068 I made 2603 supplication 2603:
9 "What 4100 profit 1215 is there in my blood 1818, if I go 3381 down 3381 to the pit 7845? Will the dust 6083 praise 3034 You? Will it declare 5046 Your faithfulness 571?
10 ¶ "Hear 8085, O LORD 3068, and be gracious 2603 to me; O LORD 3068, be my helper 5826."
11 You have turned 2015 for me my mourning 4553 into dancing 4234; You have loosed 6605 my sackcloth 8242 and girded 247 me with gladness 8057,
12 That {my} soul 3519 may sing 2167 praise 2167 to You and not be silent 1826. O LORD 3068 my God 430, I will give 3034 thanks 3034 to You forever 5769.

PSALM 31

A Psalm of Complaint and of Praise.

In You, O LORD 3068, I have taken 2620 refuge 2620; Let me never be ashamed 954; In Your righteousness 6666 deliver 6403 me.
2 Incline 5186 Your ear 241 to me, rescue 5337 me quickly 4120; Be to me a rock 6697 of strength 4581, A stronghold 4686 to save 3467 me.
3 For You are my rock 5553 and my fortress 4686; For Your name's 8034 sake 4616 You will lead 5148 me and guide 5095 me.
4 You will pull 3318 me out of the net 7568 which 2098 they have secretly 2934 laid 2934 for me, For You are my strength 4581.
5 Into Your hand 3027 I commit 6485 my spirit 7307; You have ransomed 6299 me, O LORD 3068, God 410 of truth 571.
6 ¶ I hate 8130 those who regard 8104 vain 7723 idols 1892, But I trust 982 in the LORD 3068.
7 I will rejoice 1523 and be glad 8055 in Your lovingkindness 2617, Because 834 You have seen 7200 my affliction 6040; You have known 3045 the troubles 6869 of my soul 5315,
8 And You have not given 5462 me over 5462 into the hand 3027 of the enemy 340; You have set 5975 my feet 7272 in a large 4800 place 4800.
9 ¶ Be gracious 2603 to me, O LORD 3068, for I am in distress 6887; My eye 5869 is wasted 6244 away 6244 from grief 3708, my soul 5315 and my body 990 {also.}
10 For my life 2425 is spent 3615 with sorrow 3015 And my years 8141 with sighing 585; My strength 3581 has failed 3782 because of my iniquity 5771, And my body 6106 has wasted 6244 away 6244.
11 Because 4480 of all 3605 my adversaries 6887, I have become 1961 a reproach 2781, Especially 3966 to my neighbors 7934, And an object 6343 of dread 6343 to my acquaintances 3045; Those who see 7200 me in the street 2351 flee 5074 from me.
12 I am forgotten 7911 as a dead 4191 man 4191, out of mind 3820; I am 1961 like a broken 6 vessel 3627.
13 For I have heard 8085 the slander 1681 of many 7227, Terror 4032 is on every 5439 side 5439; While they took 3245 counsel 3245 together 3162 against 5921 me, They schemed 2161 to take 3947 away my life 5315.
14 ¶ But as for me, I trust 982 in You, O LORD 3068, I say 559, "You are my God 430."
15 My times 6256 are in Your hand 3027; Deliver 5337 me from the hand 3027 of my enemies 340 and from those who persecute 7291 me.
16 Make Your face 6440 to shine 215 upon Your servant 5650; Save 3467 me in Your lovingkindness 2617.
17 Let me not be put 954 to shame 954, O LORD 3068, for I call 7121 upon You; Let the wicked 7563 be put 954 to shame 954, let them be silent 1826 in Sheol 7585.
18 Let the lying 8267 lips 8193 be mute 481, Which speak 1696 arrogantly 6277 against 5921 the righteous 6662 With pride 1346 and contempt 937.
19 ¶ How 4100 great 7227 is Your goodness 2898, Which 834 You have stored 6845 up for those who fear 3372 You, Which You have wrought 6466 for those who take 2620 refuge 2620 in You, Before 6440 the sons 1121 of men 120!
20 You hide 5641 them in the secret 5643 place 5643 of Your presence 6440 from the conspiracies 7407 of man 376; You keep 6845 them secretly 6845 in a shelter 5521 from the strife 7379 of tongues 3956.
21 Blessed 1288 be the LORD 3068, For He has made 6381 marvelous 6381 His lovingkindness 2617 to me in a besieged 4692 city 5892.
22 As for me, I said 559 in my alarm 2648, "I am cut 1629 off 1629 from before 6440 Your eyes 5869"; Nevertheless 403 You heard 8085 the voice 6963 of my supplications 8469 When I cried 7768 to You.
23 ¶ O love 157 the LORD 3068, all 3605 you His godly 2623 ones 2623! The LORD 3068 preserves 5341 the faithful 539 And fully recompenses 7999 the proud 1346 doer 6213.
24 Be strong 2388 and let your heart 3824 take 553 courage 553, All 3605 you who hope 3176 in the LORD 3068.

PSALM 32

Blessedness of Forgiveness and of Trust in God.

How blessed 835 is he whose transgression 6588 is forgiven 5375, Whose sin 2401 is covered 3680!
2 How blessed 835 is the man 120 to whom the LORD 3068 does not impute 2803 iniquity 5771, And in whose spirit 7307 there 369 is no 369 deceit 7423!
3 ¶ When 3588 I kept 2790 silent 2790 {about my sin,} my body 6106 wasted 1086 away 1086 Through my groaning 7581 all 3605 day 3117 long.
4 For day 3119 and night 3915 Your hand 3027 was heavy 3513 upon me; My vitality 3955 was drained 2015 away {as} with the fever 2725 heat 2725 of summer 7019. Selah 5542.
5 I acknowledged 3045 my sin 2403 to You, And my iniquity 5771 I did not hide 3680; I said 559, "I will confess 3034 my transgressions 6588 to the LORD 3068"; And You forgave 5375 the guilt 5771 of my sin 2403. Selah 5542.
6 Therefore, let everyone 3605 who is godly 2623 pray 6419 to You in a time 6256 when You may be found 4672; Surely 7534 in a flood 7858 of great 7227 waters 4325 they will not reach 5060 him.
7 You are my hiding 5643 place 5643; You preserve 5341 me from trouble 6862; You surround 5437 me with songs 7438 of deliverance 6405. Selah 5542.
8 ¶ I will instruct 7919 you and teach 3384 you in the way 1870 which 2098 you should go 1980; I will counsel 3289 you with My eye 5869 upon you.
9 Do not be as the horse 5483 or as the mule 6505 which have 369 no 369 understanding 995, Whose trappings 5716 include bit 4964 and bridle 7448 to hold 1102 them in check 1102, {Otherwise} they will not come 7126 near 7126 to you.
10 Many 7227 are the sorrows 4341 of the wicked 7563, But he who trusts 982 in the LORD 3068, lovingkindness 2617 shall surround 5437 him.
11 Be glad 8055 in the LORD 3068 and rejoice 1523, you righteous 6662 ones 6662; And shout 7442 for joy 7442, all 3605 you who are upright 3477 in heart 3820.

PSALM 33

Praise to the Creator and Preserver.

Sing 7442 for joy 7442 in the LORD 3068, O you righteous 6662 ones 6662; Praise 8416 is becoming 5000 to the upright 3477.
2 Give 3034 thanks 3034 to the LORD 3068 with the lyre 3658; Sing 2167 praises 2167 to Him with a harp 5035 of ten 6218 strings 6218.
3 Sing 7891 to Him a new 2319 song 7892; Play 5059 skillfully 3190 with a shout 8643 of joy 8643.
4 For the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 is upright 3477, And all 3605 His work 4639 is {done} in faithfulness 530.
5 He loves 157 righteousness 6666 and justice 4941; The earth 776 is full 4390 of the lovingkindness 2617 of the LORD 3068.
6 ¶ By the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 the heavens 8064 were made 6213, And by the breath 7307 of His mouth 6310 all 3605 their host 6635.
7 He gathers 3664 the waters 4325 of the sea 3220 together as a heap 5067; He lays 5414 up the deeps 8415 in storehouses 214.
8 Let all 3605 the earth 776 fear 3372 the LORD 3068; Let all 3605 the inhabitants 3427 of the world 8398 stand 1481 in awe 1481 of Him.
9 For He spoke 559, and it was done 1961; He commanded 6680, and it stood 5975 fast.
10 The LORD 3068 nullifies 6565 the counsel 6098 of the nations 1471; He frustrates 5106 the plans 4284 of the peoples 5971.
11 The counsel 6098 of the LORD 3068 stands 5975 forever 5769, The plans 4284 of His heart 3820 from generation 1755 to generation 1755.
12 Blessed 835 is the nation 1471 whose 834 God 430 is the LORD 3068, The people 5971 whom He has chosen 977 for His own inheritance 5159.
13 ¶ The LORD 3068 looks 5027 from heaven 8064; He sees 7200 all 3605 the sons 1121 of men 120;
14 From His dwelling 3427 place 4349 He looks 7688 out On all 3605 the inhabitants 3427 of the earth 776,
15 He who fashions 3335 the hearts 3820 of them all 3162, He who understands 995 all 3605 their works 4639.
16 The king 4428 is not saved 3467 by a mighty 7230 army 2428; A warrior 1368 is not delivered 5337 by great 7230 strength 3581.
17 A horse 5483 is a false 8267 hope 8267 for victory 8668; Nor 3808 does it deliver 4422 anyone by its great 7230 strength 2428.
18 ¶ Behold 2009, the eye 5869 of the LORD 3068 is on those who fear 3372 Him, On those who hope 3176 for His lovingkindness 2617,
19 To deliver 5337 their soul 5315 from death 4194 And to keep 2421 them alive 2421 in famine 7458.
20 Our soul 5315 waits 2442 for the LORD 3068; He is our help 5828 and our shield 4043.
21 For our heart 3820 rejoices 8055 in Him, Because 3588 we trust 982 in His holy 6944 name 8034.
22 Let Your lovingkindness 2617, O LORD 3068, be upon us, According as we have hoped 3176 in You.

PSALM 34

The L\{ORD}/, a Provider and Deliverer.

I will bless 1288 the LORD 3068 at all 3605 times 6256; His praise 8416 shall continually 8548 be in my mouth 6310.
2 My soul 5315 will make 1984 its boast 1984 in the LORD 3068; The humble 6035 will hear 8085 it and rejoice 8055.
3 O magnify 1431 the LORD 3068 with me, And let us exalt 7311 His name 8034 together 3164.
4 ¶ I sought 1875 the LORD 3068, and He answered 6030 me, And delivered 5337 me from all 3605 my fears 4034.
5 They looked 5027 to Him and were radiant 5102, And their faces 6440 will never 408 be ashamed 2659.
6 This 2088 poor 6041 man 6041 cried 7121, and the LORD 3068 heard 8085 him And saved 3467 him out of all 3605 his troubles 6869.
7 The angel 4397 of the LORD 3068 encamps 2583 around 5439 those who fear 3372 Him, And rescues 2502 them.
8 ¶ O taste 2938 and see 7200 that the LORD 3068 is good 2896; How blessed 835 is the man 1397 who takes 2620 refuge 2620 in Him!
9 O fear 3372 the LORD 3068, you His saints 6918; For to those who fear 3372 Him there 369 is no 369 want 4270.
10 The young 3715 lions 3715 do lack 7326 and suffer 7456 hunger 7456; But they who seek 1875 the LORD 3068 shall not be in want 2637 of any 3605 good 2896 thing 2896.
11 Come 1980, you children 1121, listen 8085 to me; I will teach 3925 you the fear 3374 of the LORD 3068.
12 Who 4310 is the man 376 who desires 2655 life 2425 And loves 157 {length of} days 3117 that he may see 7200 good 2896?
13 Keep 5341 your tongue 3956 from evil 7451 And your lips 8193 from speaking 1696 deceit 4820.
14 Depart 5493 from evil 7451 and do 6213 good 2896; Seek 1245 peace 7965 and pursue 7291 it.
15 ¶ The eyes 5869 of the LORD 3068 are toward 413 the righteous 6662 And His ears 241 are {open} to their cry 7775.
16 The face 6440 of the LORD 3068 is against evildoers, To cut 3772 off 3772 the memory 2143 of them from the earth 776.
17 {The righteous} cry 6817, and the LORD 3068 hears 8085 And delivers 5337 them out of all 3605 their troubles 6869.
18 The LORD 3068 is near 7138 to the brokenhearted And saves 3467 those who 1793 are crushed 1793 in spirit 7307.
19 ¶ Many 7227 are the afflictions 7463 of the righteous 6662, But the LORD 3068 delivers 5337 him out of them all 3605.
20 He keeps 8104 all 3605 his bones 6106, Not one 259 of them is broken 7665.
21 Evil 7463 shall slay 4191 the wicked 7563, And those who hate 8130 the righteous 6662 will be condemned 816.
22 The LORD 3068 redeems 6299 the soul 5315 of His servants 5650, And none of those who take 2620 refuge 2620 in Him will be condemned 816.

PSALM 35

Prayer for Rescue from Enemies.

Contend 7378, O LORD 3068, with those who contend 3401 with me; Fight 3898 against 854 those who fight 3898 against me.
2 Take 2388 hold 2388 of buckler 4043 and shield 6793 And rise 6965 up for my help 5833.
3 Draw 7385 also the spear 2595 and the battle-axe 5462 to meet 7122 those who pursue 7291 me; Say 559 to my soul 5315, "I am your salvation 3444."
4 Let those be ashamed 954 and dishonored 3637 who seek 1245 my life 5315; Let those be turned 5472 back 268 and humiliated 3637 who devise 2803 evil 7463 against me.
5 Let them be like chaff 4671 before 6440 the wind 7307, With the angel 4397 of the LORD 3068 driving 1760 {them} on.
6 Let their way 1870 be dark 2822 and slippery 2519, With the angel 4397 of the LORD 3068 pursuing 7291 them.
7 For without 2600 cause 2600 they hid 2934 their net 7568 for me; Without 2600 cause 2600 they dug 2658 a pit 7845 for my soul 5315.
8 Let destruction 7724 come 935 upon him unawares, And let the net 7568 which 834 he hid 2934 catch 3920 himself; Into that very destruction 7724 let him fall 5307.
9 ¶ And my soul 5315 shall rejoice 1523 in the LORD 3068; It shall exult 7797 in His salvation 3444.
10 All 3605 my bones 6106 will say 559, "LORD 3068, who 4310 is like 3644 You, Who delivers 5337 the afflicted 6041 from him who 2389 is too 4480 strong 2389 for him, And the afflicted 6041 and the needy 34 from him who robs 1497 him?"
11 Malicious 2555 witnesses 5707 rise 6965 up; They ask 7592 me of things that I do not know 3045.
12 They repay 7999 me evil 7463 for good 2899, {To} the bereavement 7908 of my soul 5315.
13 But as for me, when they were sick 2470, my clothing 3830 was sackcloth 8242; I humbled 6031 my soul 5315 with fasting 6685, And my prayer 8605 kept returning 7725 to my bosom 2436.
14 I went 1980 about as though it were my friend 7453 or brother 251; I bowed 7817 down 7817 mourning 6937, as one 57 who 57 sorrows 57 for a mother 517.
15 But at my stumbling 6761 they rejoiced 8055 and gathered 622 themselves together; The smiters 5222 whom I did not know 3045 gathered 622 together against 5921 me, They slandered 7167 me without 3808 ceasing 1826.
16 Like godless 2611 jesters 3934 at a feast 4580, They gnashed 2786 at me with their teeth 8127.
17 ¶ Lord 136, how 4100 long 4100 will You look 7200 on? Rescue 7725 my soul 5315 from their ravages 7722, My only 3173 {life} from the lions 3715.
18 I will give 3034 You thanks 3034 in the great 7227 congregation 6951; I will praise 1984 You among a mighty 6099 throng 5971.
19 Do not let those who are wrongfully 8267 my enemies 340 rejoice 8055 over me; Nor let those who hate 8130 me without 2600 cause 2600 wink 7169 maliciously.
20 For they do not speak 1696 peace 7965, But they devise 2803 deceitful 4820 words 1697 against 5921 those who 7282 are quiet 7282 in the land 776.
21 They opened 7337 their mouth 6310 wide 7337 against 5921 me; They said 559, "Aha 1889, aha 1889, our eyes 5869 have seen 7200 it!"
22 ¶ You have seen 7200 it, O LORD 3068, do not keep 2790 silent 2790; O Lord 136, do not be far 7368 from me.
23 Stir 5782 up Yourself, and awake 7019 to my right 4941 And to my cause 7379, my God 430 and my Lord 136.
24 Judge 8199 me, O LORD 3068 my God 430, according to Your righteousness 6664, And do not let them rejoice 8055 over me.
25 Do not let them say 559 in their heart 3820, "Aha 1889, our desire 5315!" Do not let them say 559, "We have swallowed 1104 him up!"
26 Let those be ashamed 954 and humiliated 2659 altogether 3164 who rejoice 8056 at my distress 7463; Let those be clothed 3847 with shame 1322 and dishonor 3639 who magnify 1431 themselves over 5921 me.
27 ¶ Let them shout 7442 for joy 7442 and rejoice 8055, who 2655 favor 2655 my vindication 6664; And let them say 559 continually 8548, "The LORD 3068 be magnified 1431, Who 2655 delights 2655 in the prosperity 7965 of His servant 5650."
28 And my tongue 3956 shall declare 1897 Your righteousness 6664 {And} Your praise 8416 all 3605 day 3117 long.

PSALM 36

Wickedness of Men and Lovingkindness of God.

Transgression 6588 speaks 5002 to the ungodly 7563 within 7130 his heart 3820; There 369 is no 369 fear 6343 of God 430 before 5048 his eyes 5869.
2 For it flatters 2505 him in his {own} eyes 5869 Concerning the discovery 4672 of his iniquity 5771 {and} the hatred 8130 {of it.}
3 The words 1697 of his mouth 6310 are wickedness 205 and deceit 4820; He has ceased 2308 to be wise 7919 {and} to do 3190 good 3190.
4 He plans 2803 wickedness 205 upon his bed 4904; He sets 3320 himself on a path 1870 that is not good 2896; He does not despise 3988 evil 7451.
5 ¶ Your lovingkindness 2617, O LORD 3068, extends to the heavens 8064, Your faithfulness 530 {reaches} to the skies 7834.
6 Your righteousness 6666 is like the mountains 2022 of God 410; Your judgments 4941 are {like} a great 7227 deep 8415. O LORD 3068, You preserve 3467 man 120 and beast 929.
7 How 4100 precious 3368 is Your lovingkindness 2617, O God 430! And the children 1121 of men 120 take 2620 refuge 2620 in the shadow 6738 of Your wings 3671.
8 They drink 8248 their fill 7301 of the abundance 1880 of Your house 1004; And You give 8248 them to drink 7301 of the river 5158 of Your delights 5730.
9 For with You is the fountain 4726 of life 2425; In Your light 216 we see 7200 light 216.
10 ¶ O continue 4900 Your lovingkindness 2617 to those who know 3045 You, And Your righteousness 6666 to the upright 3477 in heart 3820.
11 Let not the foot 7272 of pride 1346 come 935 upon me, And let not the hand 3027 of the wicked 7563 drive 5110 me away 5110.
12 There 8033 the doers 6466 of iniquity 205 have fallen 5307; They have been thrust 1760 down 1760 and cannot rise 6965.

PSALM 37

Security of Those Who Trust in the L\{ORD}/, and Insecurity of the Wicked.

Do not fret 2734 because of evildoers 7489, Be not envious 7065 toward wrongdoers 5767.
2 For they will wither 4448 quickly 4120 like the grass 2682 And fade 5034 like the green 3418 herb 1877.
3 Trust 982 in the LORD 3068 and do 6213 good 2896; Dwell 7931 in the land 776 and cultivate 7462 faithfulness 530.
4 Delight 6026 yourself in the LORD 3068; And He will give 5414 you the desires 4862 of your heart 3820.
5 Commit 1556 your way 1870 to the LORD 3068, Trust 982 also in Him, and He will do 6213 it.
6 He will bring 3318 forth 3318 your righteousness 6664 as the light 216 And your judgment 4941 as the noonday 6672.
7 ¶ Rest 1826 in the LORD 3068 and wait 2342 patiently 2342 for Him; Do not fret 2734 because of him who prospers 6743 in his way 1870, Because of the man 376 who carries 6213 out wicked 4209 schemes 4209.
8 Cease 7503 from anger 639 and forsake 5800 wrath 2534; Do not fret 2734; {it leads} only 389 to evildoing 7489.
9 For evildoers 7489 will be cut 3772 off 3772, But those who wait 6960 for the LORD 3068, they will inherit 3423 the land 776.
10 Yet 5750 a little 4592 while 4592 and the wicked 7563 man 7563 will be no 369 more 369; And you will look 995 carefully 995 for his place 4725 and he will not be {there.}
11 But the humble 6035 will inherit 3423 the land 776 And will delight 6026 themselves in abundant 7230 prosperity 7965.
12 ¶ The wicked 7563 plots 2161 against the righteous 6662 And gnashes 2786 at him with his teeth 8127.
13 The Lord 136 laughs 7832 at him, For He sees 7200 his day 3117 is coming 935.
14 The wicked 7563 have drawn 6605 the sword 2719 and bent 1869 their bow 7198 To cast 5307 down 5307 the afflicted 6041 and the needy 34, To slay 2873 those who 3477 are upright 3477 in conduct 1870.
15 Their sword 2719 will enter 935 their own heart 3820, And their bows 7198 will be broken 7665.
16 ¶ Better 2896 is the little 4592 of the righteous 6662 Than 4480 the abundance 1995 of many 7227 wicked 7563.
17 For the arms 2220 of the wicked 7563 will be broken 7665, But the LORD 3068 sustains 5564 the righteous 6662.
18 The LORD 3068 knows 3045 the days 3117 of the blameless 8549, And their inheritance 5159 will be forever 5769.
19 They will not be ashamed 954 in the time 6256 of evil 7463, And in the days 3117 of famine 7459 they will have 7646 abundance 7646.
20 But the wicked 7563 will perish 6; And the enemies 340 of the LORD 3068 will be like the glory 3368 of the pastures 3733, They vanish 3615--like smoke 6227 they vanish 3615 away.
21 The wicked 7563 borrows 3867 and does not pay 7999 back 7999, But the righteous 6662 is gracious 2603 and gives 5414.
22 For those blessed 1288 by Him will inherit 3423 the land 776, But those cursed 7043 by Him will be cut 3772 off 3772.
23 ¶ The steps 4703 of a man 1397 are established 3559 by the LORD 3068, And He delights 2654 in his way 1870.
24 When 3588 he falls 5307, he will not be hurled 2904 headlong 2904, Because 3588 the LORD 3068 is the One who holds 5564 his hand 3027.
25 I have been 1961 young 5288 and now 1571 I am old 2204, Yet I have not seen 7200 the righteous 6662 forsaken 5800 Or his descendants 2233 begging 1245 bread 3899.
26 All 3605 day 3117 long he is gracious 2603 and lends 3867, And his descendants 2233 are a blessing 1293.
27 ¶ Depart 5493 from evil 7451 and do 6213 good 2896, So you will abide 7931 forever 5769.
28 For the LORD 3068 loves 157 justice 4941 And does not forsake 5800 His godly 2623 ones 2623; They are preserved 8104 forever 5769, But the descendants 2233 of the wicked 7563 will be cut 3772 off 3772.
29 The righteous 6662 will inherit 3423 the land 776 And dwell 7931 in it forever 5703.
30 The mouth 6310 of the righteous 6662 utters 1897 wisdom 2451, And his tongue 3956 speaks 1696 justice 4941.
31 The law 8451 of his God 430 is in his heart 3820; His steps 804 do not slip 4571.
32 The wicked 7563 spies 6822 upon the righteous 6662 And seeks 1245 to kill 4191 him.
33 The LORD 3068 will not leave 5800 him in his hand 3027 Or let him be condemned 7561 when he is judged 8199.
34 Wait 6960 for the LORD 3068 and keep 8104 His way 1870, And He will exalt 7311 you to inherit 3423 the land 776; When the wicked 7563 are cut 3772 off 3772, you will see 7200 it.
35 ¶ I have seen 7200 a wicked 7563, violent 6184 man 7563 Spreading 6168 himself like a luxuriant 7488 tree 249 in its native 249 soil.
36 Then he passed 5674 away 5674, and lo 2009, he was no 369 more 369; I sought 1245 for him, but he could not be found 4672.
37 Mark 8104 the blameless 8535 man 8535, and behold 7200 the upright 3477; For the man 376 of peace 7965 will have a posterity 319.
38 But transgressors 6586 will be altogether 3164 destroyed 8045; The posterity 319 of the wicked 7563 will be cut 3772 off 3772.
39 But the salvation 8668 of the righteous 6662 is from the LORD 3068; He is their strength 4581 in time 6256 of trouble 6869.
40 The LORD 3068 helps 5826 them and delivers 6403 them; He delivers 6403 them from the wicked 7563 and saves 3467 them, Because 3588 they take 2620 refuge 2620 in Him.

PSALM 38

Prayer of a Suffering Penitent.

O LORD 3068, rebuke 3198 me not in Your wrath 7110, And chasten 3256 me not in Your burning 2534 anger 2534.
2 For Your arrows 2671 have sunk 5181 deep 5181 into me, And Your hand 3027 has pressed 5181 down 5181 on me.
3 There 369 is no 369 soundness 4974 in my flesh 1320 because of Your indignation 2195; There 369 is no 369 health 7965 in my bones 6106 because of my sin 2403.
4 For my iniquities 5771 are gone 5674 over 5674 my head 7218; As a heavy 3515 burden 4853 they weigh 3513 too 4480 much 3515 for me.
5 My wounds 2250 grow 887 foul 887 {and} fester 4743 Because of my folly 200.
6 I am bent 5753 over and greatly 3966 bowed 7817 down 7817; I go 1980 mourning 6937 all 3605 day 3117 long.
7 For my loins 3689 are filled 4390 with burning 7033, And there 369 is no 369 soundness 4974 in my flesh 1320.
8 I am benumbed 6313 and badly 3966 crushed 1794; I groan 7580 because 4480 of the agitation 5100 of my heart 3820.
9 ¶ Lord 136, all 3605 my desire 8378 is before 5048 You; And my sighing 585 is not hidden 5641 from You.
10 My heart 3820 throbs 5503, my strength 3581 fails 5800 me; And the light 216 of my eyes 5869, even 1571 that has gone 369 from me.
11 My loved 157 ones and my friends 7453 stand 5975 aloof from my plague 5061; And my kinsmen 7138 stand 5975 afar 7350 off.
12 Those who seek 1245 my life 5315 lay 5367 snares 5367 {for me;} And those who seek 1875 to injure 7463 me have threatened 1696 destruction 1942, And they devise 1897 treachery 4820 all 3605 day 3117 long.
13 ¶ But I, like a deaf 2795 man 2795, do not hear 8085; And {I am} like a mute 483 man 483 who does not open 6605 his mouth 6310.
14 Yes, I am like a man 376 who 834 does not hear 8085, And in whose mouth 6310 are no 369 arguments 8433.
15 For I hope 3176 in You, O LORD 3068; You will answer 6030, O Lord 136 my God 430.
16 For I said 559, "May they not rejoice 8055 over me, {Who,} when my foot 7272 slips 4131, would magnify 1431 themselves against 5921 me."
17 For I am ready 3559 to fall 6761, And my sorrow 4341 is continually 8548 before 5048 me.
18 For I confess 5046 my iniquity 5771; I am full 1672 of anxiety 1672 because 4480 of my sin 2403.
19 But my enemies 340 are vigorous 2416 {and} strong 6105, And many 7231 are those who hate 8130 me wrongfully 8267.
20 And those who repay 7999 evil 7463 for good 2899, They oppose 7853 me, because 8478 I follow 7291 what 2896 is good 2896.
21 Do not forsake 5800 me, O LORD 3068; O my God 430, do not be far 7368 from me!
22 Make 2363 haste 2363 to help 5833 me, O Lord 136, my salvation 8668!

PSALM 39

The Vanity of Life.

I said 559, "I will guard 8104 my ways 1870 That I may not sin 2398 with my tongue 3956; I will guard 8104 my mouth 6310 as with a muzzle 4269 While 5750 the wicked 7563 are in my presence 5048."
2 I was mute 481 and silent 1747, I refrained 2814 {even} from good 2896, And my sorrow 3511 grew 5916 worse 5916.
3 My heart 3820 was hot 2552 within 7130 me, While I was musing 1901 the fire 784 burned 1197; {Then} I spoke 1696 with my tongue 3956:
4 "LORD 3068, make me to know 3045 my end 7093 And what 4100 is the extent 4060 of my days 3117; Let me know 3045 how 4100 transient 2310 I am.
5 "Behold 2009, You have made 5414 my days 3117 {as} handbreadths 2947, And my lifetime 2465 as nothing 369 in Your sight 5048; Surely 389 every 3605 man 120 at his best 5324 is a mere 3605 breath 1892. Selah 5542.
6 "Surely 389 every 376 man 376 walks 1980 about as a phantom 6754; Surely 389 they make 1993 an uproar 1993 for nothing 1892; He amasses 6651 {riches} and does not know 3045 who 4310 will gather 622 them.
7 ¶ "And now 6258, Lord 136, for what 4100 do I wait 6960? My hope 8431 is in You.
8 "Deliver 5337 me from all 3605 my transgressions 6588; Make 7760 me not the reproach 2781 of the foolish 5036.
9 "I have become 481 mute 481, I do not open 6605 my mouth 6310, Because 3588 it is You who have done 6213 {it.}
10 "Remove 5493 Your plague 5061 from me; Because 4480 of the opposition 8409 of Your hand 3027 I am perishing 3615.
11 "With reproofs 8433 You chasten 3256 a man 376 for iniquity 5771; You consume 4529 as a moth 6211 what is precious 2530 to him; Surely 389 every 3605 man 120 is a mere 1892 breath 1892. Selah 5542.
12 ¶ "Hear 8085 my prayer 8605, O LORD 3068, and give 238 ear 238 to my cry 7775; Do not be silent 2790 at my tears 1832; For I am a stranger 1616 with You, A sojourner 8453 like all 3605 my fathers 1.
13 "Turn 8159 Your gaze 8159 away 8159 from me, that I may smile 1082 {again} Before 2962 I depart 1980 and am no 369 more 369."

PSALM 40

God Sustains His Servant.

I waited 6960 patiently 6960 for the LORD 3068; And He inclined 5186 to me and heard 8085 my cry 7775.
2 He brought 5927 me up out of the pit 953 of destruction 7588, out of the miry 3121 clay 2916, And He set 6965 my feet 7272 upon a rock 5553 making 3559 my footsteps 804 firm 3559.
3 He put 5414 a new 2319 song 7892 in my mouth 6310, a song 8416 of praise 8416 to our God 430; Many 7227 will see 7200 and fear 3372 And will trust 982 in the LORD 3068.
4 ¶ How blessed 835 is the man 1397 who 834 has made 7760 the LORD 3068 his trust 4009, And has not turned 6437 to the proud 7295, nor to those who lapse 7750 into falsehood 3577.
5 Many 7227, O LORD 3068 my God 430, are the wonders 6381 which You have done 6213, And Your thoughts 4284 toward 413 us; There 369 is none 369 to compare 6186 with You. If I would declare 5046 and speak 1696 of them, They would be too 4480 numerous 6105 to count 5608.
6 ¶ Sacrifice 2077 and meal 4503 offering 4503 You have not desired 2654; My ears 241 You have opened 3738; Burnt 5930 offering 5930 and sin 2401 offering 2401 You have not required 7592.
7 Then 227 I said 559, "Behold 2009, I come 935; In the scroll 4039 of the book 5612 it is written 3789 of me.
8 I delight 2654 to do 6213 Your will 7522, O my God 430; Your Law 8451 is within 8432 my heart 4578."
9 ¶ I have proclaimed 1319 glad 1319 tidings 1319 of righteousness 6664 in the great 7227 congregation 6951; Behold 2009, I will not restrain 3607 my lips 8193, O LORD 3068, You know 3045.
10 I have not hidden 3680 Your righteousness 6666 within 8432 my heart 3820; I have spoken 559 of Your faithfulness 530 and Your salvation 8668; I have not concealed 3582 Your lovingkindness 2617 and Your truth 571 from the great 7227 congregation 6951.
11 ¶ You, O LORD 3068, will not withhold 3607 Your compassion 7356 from me; Your lovingkindness 2617 and Your truth 571 will continually 8548 preserve 5341 me.
12 For evils 7463 beyond number 4557 have surrounded 661 me; My iniquities 5771 have overtaken 5381 me, so that I am not able 3201 to see 7200; They are more 4480 numerous 6105 than 4480 the hairs 8185 of my head 7218, And my heart 3820 has failed 5800 me.
13 ¶ Be pleased 7521, O LORD 3068, to deliver 5337 me; Make 2363 haste 2363, O LORD 3068, to help 5833 me.
14 Let those be ashamed 954 and humiliated 3637 together 3162 Who seek 1245 my life 5315 to destroy 5595 it; Let those be turned 5472 back 268 and dishonored 3637 Who 2655 delight 2655 in my hurt 7463.
15 Let those be appalled 8074 because of their shame 1322 Who say 559 to me, "Aha 1889, aha 1889!"
16 Let all 3605 who seek 1245 You rejoice 7797 and be glad 8055 in You; Let those who love 157 Your salvation 8668 say 559 continually 8548, "The LORD 3068 be magnified 1431!"
17 Since I am afflicted 6041 and needy 34, Let the Lord 136 be mindful 2803 of me. You are my help 5833 and my deliverer 6403; Do not delay 309, O my God 430.

PSALM 41

The Psalmist in Sickness Complains of Enemies and False Friends.

How blessed 835 is he who considers 7919 the helpless 1800; The LORD 3068 will deliver 4422 him in a day 3117 of trouble 7463.
2 The LORD 3068 will protect 8104 him and keep 2421 him alive 2421, And he shall be called 833 blessed 833 upon the earth 776; And do not give 5414 him over to the desire 5315 of his enemies 340.
3 The LORD 3068 will sustain 5582 him upon his sickbed; In his illness 2483, You restore 2015 him to health.
4 ¶ As for me, I said 559, "O LORD 3068, be gracious 2603 to me; Heal 7495 my soul 5315, for I have sinned 2398 against You."
5 My enemies 340 speak 559 evil 7451 against me, "When 4970 will he die 4191, and his name 8034 perish 6?"
6 And when 518 he comes 935 to see 7200 {me,} he speaks 1696 falsehood 7723; His heart 3820 gathers 6908 wickedness 205 to itself; When he goes 3318 outside 2351, he tells 1696 it.
7 All 3605 who hate 8130 me whisper 3907 together 3162 against 5921 me; Against 5921 me they devise 2803 my hurt 7463, {saying,}
8 "A wicked 1100 thing 1697 is poured 3332 out upon him, That when 834 he lies 7901 down 7901, he will not rise 6965 up again 3254."
9 Even 1571 my close 7965 friend in whom 834 I trusted 982, Who ate 398 my bread 3899, Has lifted 1431 up his heel 6119 against 5921 me.
10 ¶ But You, O LORD 3068, be gracious 2603 to me and raise 6965 me up, That I may repay 7999 them.
11 By this 384 I know 3045 that You are pleased 2654 with me, Because 3588 my enemy 340 does not shout 7321 in triumph 7321 over 5921 me.
12 As for me, You uphold 8551 me in my integrity 8537, And You set 5324 me in Your presence 6440 forever 5769.
13 ¶ Blessed 1288 be the LORD 3068, the God 430 of Israel 3478, From everlasting 5769 to everlasting 5769. Amen 543 and Amen 543.

PSALM 42

Thirsting for God in Trouble and Exile.

As the deer 354 pants 6165 for the water 4325 brooks 650, So 3651 my soul 5315 pants 6165 for You, O God 430.
2 My soul 5315 thirsts 6770 for God 430, for the living 2416 God 410; When 4970 shall I come 935 and appear 7200 before 6440 God 430?
3 My tears 1832 have been 1961 my food 3899 day 3119 and night 3915, While {they} say 559 to me all 3605 day 3117 long, "Where 346 is your God 430?"
4 These 428 things 428 I remember 2142 and I pour 8210 out my soul 5315 within 5921 me. For I used to go 5674 along 5674 with the throng 5519 {and} lead 1718 them in procession 1718 to the house 1004 of God 430, With the voice 6963 of joy 7440 and thanksgiving 8426, a multitude 1995 keeping 2287 festival 2287.
5 ¶ Why 4100 are you in despair 7817, O my soul 5315? And {why} have you become 1993 disturbed 1993 within 5921 me? Hope 3176 in God 430, for I shall again 5750 praise 3034 Him {For} the help 3444 of His presence 6440.
6 O my God 430, my soul 5315 is in despair 7817 within 5921 me; Therefore I remember 2142 You from the land 776 of the Jordan 3383 And the peaks of Hermon 2769, from Mount 2022 Mizar 4706.
7 Deep 8415 calls 7121 to deep 8415 at the sound 6963 of Your waterfalls 6794; All 3605 Your breakers 4867 and Your waves 1530 have rolled 5674 over 5921 me.
8 The LORD 3068 will command 6680 His lovingkindness 2617 in the daytime 3119; And His song 7892 will be with me in the night 3915, A prayer 8605 to the God 410 of my life 2425.
9 ¶ I will say 559 to God 410 my rock 5553, "Why 4100 have You forgotten 7911 me? Why 4100 do I go 1980 mourning 6937 because of the oppression 3906 of the enemy 340?"
10 As a shattering 7524 of my bones 6106, my adversaries 6887 revile 2778 me, While they say 559 to me all 3605 day 3117 long, "Where 346 is your God 430?"
11 Why 4100 are you in despair 7817, O my soul 5315? And why 4100 have you become 1993 disturbed 1993 within 5921 me? Hope 3176 in God 430, for I shall yet 5750 praise 3034 Him, The help 3444 of my countenance 6440 and my God 430.

Prayer for Deliverance.

Vindicate 8199 me, O God 430, and plead 7378 my case 7379 against 4480 an ungodly nation 1471; O deliver 6403 me from the deceitful 4820 and unjust 5767 man 376!
2 For You are the God 430 of my strength 4581; why 4100 have You rejected 2186 me? Why 4100 do I go 1980 mourning 6937 because of the oppression 3906 of the enemy 340?
3 ¶ O send 7971 out Your light 216 and Your truth 571, let them lead 5148 me; Let them bring 935 me to Your holy 6944 hill 2022 And to Your dwelling 4908 places 4908.
4 Then I will go 935 to the altar 4196 of God 430, To God 410 my exceeding 8057 joy 8057; And upon the lyre 3658 I shall praise 3034 You, O God 430, my God 430.
5 ¶ Why 4100 are you in despair 7817, O my soul 5315? And why 4100 are you disturbed 1993 within 5921 me? Hope 3176 in God 430, for I shall again 5750 praise 3034 Him, The help 3444 of my countenance 6440 and my God 430.

PSALM 44

Former Deliverances and Present Troubles.

O God 430, we have heard 8085 with our ears 241, Our fathers 1 have told 5608 us The work 6467 that You did 6466 in their days 3117, In the days 3117 of old 6924.
2 You with Your own hand 3027 drove 3423 out the nations 1471; Then You planted 5193 them; You afflicted 7489 the peoples 3816, Then You spread 7971 them abroad.
3 For by their own sword 2719 they did not possess 3423 the land 776, And their own arm 2220 did not save 3467 them, But Your right 3225 hand 3225 and Your arm 2220 and the light 216 of Your presence 6440, For You favored 7521 them.
4 ¶ You are my King 4428, O God 430; Command 6680 victories 3444 for Jacob 3290.
5 Through You we will push 5055 back 5055 our adversaries 6862; Through Your name 8034 we will trample 947 down 947 those who rise 6965 up against us.
6 For I will not trust 982 in my bow 7198, Nor 3808 will my sword 2719 save 3467 me.
7 But You have saved 3467 us from our adversaries 6862, And You have put 954 to shame 954 those who hate 8130 us.
8 In God 430 we have boasted 1984 all 3605 day 3117 long, And we will give 3034 thanks 3034 to Your name 8034 forever 5769. Selah 5542.
9 ¶ Yet 637 You have rejected 2186 {us} and brought 3637 us to dishonor 3637, And do not go 3318 out with our armies 6635.
10 You cause us to turn 7725 back 268 from the adversary 6862; And those who hate 8130 us have taken 8154 spoil 8154 for themselves.
11 You give 5414 us as sheep 6629 to be eaten 3978 And have scattered 2219 us among the nations 1471.
12 You sell 4376 Your people 5971 cheaply, And have not profited 7235 by their sale 4242.
13 You make 7760 us a reproach 2781 to our neighbors 7934, A scoffing 3933 and a derision 7047 to those around 5439 us.
14 You make 7760 us a byword 4912 among the nations 1471, A laughingstock among the peoples 3816.
15 All 3605 day 3117 long my dishonor 3639 is before 5048 me And my humiliation has overwhelmed 3680 me,
16 Because 4480 of the voice 6963 of him who reproaches 2778 and reviles 1442, Because 4480 of the presence 6440 of the enemy 340 and the avenger 5358.
17 ¶ All 3605 this 384 has come 935 upon us, but we have not forgotten 7911 You, And we have not dealt 8266 falsely 8266 with Your covenant 1285.
18 Our heart 3820 has not turned 5472 back 268, And our steps 804 have not deviated 5186 from Your way 734,
19 Yet 3588 You have crushed 1794 us in a place 4725 of jackals 8565 And covered 3680 us with the shadow 6757 of death 6757.
20 ¶ If 518 we had forgotten 7911 the name 8034 of our God 430 Or extended 6566 our hands 3709 to a strange 2114 god 410,
21 Would not God 430 find 2713 this 384 out? For He knows 3045 the secrets 8587 of the heart 3820.
22 But for Your sake 5921 we are killed 2026 all 3605 day 3117 long; We are considered 2803 as sheep 6629 to be slaughtered 2878.
23 Arouse 5782 Yourself, why 4100 do You sleep 3462, O Lord 136? Awake 7019, do not reject 2186 us forever 5331.
24 Why 4100 do You hide 5641 Your face 6440 {And} forget 7911 our affliction 6040 and our oppression 3906?
25 For our soul 5315 has sunk 7743 down 7743 into the dust 6083; Our body 990 cleaves 1692 to the earth 776.
26 Rise 6965 up, be our help 5833, And redeem 6299 us for the sake 4616 of Your lovingkindness 2617.

A Song Celebrating the King's Marriage.

My heart 3820 overflows 7370 with a good 2896 theme 1697; I address 559 my verses 4639 to the King 4428; My tongue 3956 is the pen 5842 of a ready 4106 writer 5613.
2 You are fairer 3302 than 4480 the sons 1121 of men 120; Grace 2580 is poured 3332 upon Your lips 8193; Therefore God 430 has blessed 1288 You forever 5769.
3 ¶ Gird 2296 Your sword 2719 on {Your} thigh 3409, O Mighty 1368 One 1368, {In} Your splendor 1935 and Your majesty 1926!
4 And in Your majesty 1926 ride 7392 on victoriously 6743, For the cause 1697 of truth 571 and meekness 6038 {and} righteousness 6664; Let Your right 3225 hand 3225 teach 3384 You awesome 3372 things 3372.
5 Your arrows 2671 are sharp 8150; The peoples 5971 fall 5307 under 8478 You; {Your arrows are} in the heart 3820 of the King's 4428 enemies 340.
6 ¶ Your throne 3678, O God 430, is forever 5769 and ever 5703; A scepter 7626 of uprightness 4334 is the scepter 7626 of Your kingdom 4438.
7 You have loved 157 righteousness 6664 and hated 8130 wickedness 7562; Therefore God 430, Your God 430, has anointed 4886 You With the oil 8081 of joy 8342 above 4480 Your fellows 2270.
8 All 3605 Your garments 899 are {fragrant with} myrrh 4753 and aloes 174 {and} cassia 7102; Out of ivory 8127 palaces 1964 stringed 4482 instruments 4482 have made 8055 You glad 8055.
9 Kings' 4428 daughters 1323 are among Your noble 3368 ladies; At Your right 3225 hand 3225 stands 5324 the queen 7694 in gold 3800 from Ophir 211.
10 ¶ Listen 8085, O daughter 1323, give 7200 attention 7200 and incline 5186 your ear 241: Forget 7911 your people 5971 and your father's 1 house 1004;
11 Then the King 4428 will desire 183 your beauty 3308. Because 3588 He is your Lord 136, bow 7812 down 7812 to Him.
12 The daughter 1323 of Tyre 6865 {will come} with a gift 4503; The rich 6223 among the people 5971 will seek 2470 your favor 6440.
13 ¶ The King's 4428 daughter 1323 is all 3605 glorious 3519 within 6441; Her clothing 3830 is interwoven 4865 with gold 2091.
14 She will be led 2986 to the King 4428 in embroidered 7553 work 7553; The virgins 1330, her companions 7464 who follow 310 her, Will be brought 935 to You.
15 They will be led 2986 forth 2986 with gladness 8057 and rejoicing 1524; They will enter 935 into the King's 4428 palace 1964.
16 ¶ In place 8478 of your fathers 1 will be your sons 1121; You shall make 7896 them princes 8269 in all 3605 the earth 776.
17 I will cause Your name 8034 to be remembered 2142 in all 3605 generations 1755; Therefore the peoples 5971 will give 3034 You thanks 3034 forever 5769 and ever 5703.

God the Refuge of His People.

God 430 is our refuge 4268 and strength 5797, A very 3966 present 4672 help 5833 in trouble 6869.
2 Therefore we will not fear 3372, though the earth 776 should change 4171 And though the mountains 2022 slip 4131 into the heart 3820 of the sea 3220;
3 Though its waters 4325 roar 1993 {and} foam 2560, Though the mountains 2022 quake 7493 at its swelling 1346 pride 1346. Selah 5542.
4 ¶ There is a river 5104 whose streams 6388 make 8055 glad 8055 the city 5892 of God 430, The holy 6918 dwelling 4908 places 4908 of the Most 5945 High 5945.
5 God 430 is in the midst 7130 of her, she will not be moved 4131; God 430 will help 5826 her when morning 1242 dawns 6437.
6 The nations 1471 made 1993 an uproar 1993, the kingdoms 4467 tottered 4131; He raised 5414 His voice 6963, the earth 776 melted 4127.
7 The LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 is with us; The God 430 of Jacob 3290 is our stronghold 4869. Selah 5542.
8 ¶ Come 1980, behold 2372 the works 4659 of the LORD 3068, Who 834 has wrought 7760 desolations 8047 in the earth 776.
9 He makes wars 4421 to cease 7673 to the end 7097 of the earth 776; He breaks 7665 the bow 7198 and cuts 7112 the spear 2595 in two 7112; He burns 8313 the chariots 5699 with fire 784.
10 "Cease 7503 {striving} and know 3045 that I am God 430; I will be exalted 7311 among the nations 1471, I will be exalted 7311 in the earth 776."

3 He subdues 1696 peoples 5971 under 8478 us And nations 3816 under 8478 our feet 7272.

5 ¶ God 430 has ascended 5927 with a shout 8643, The LORD 3068, with the sound 6963 of a trumpet 7782.
6 Sing 2167 praises 2167 to God 430, sing 2167 praises 2167; Sing 2167 praises 2167 to our King 4428, sing 2167 praises 2167.

9 The princes 5081 of the people 5971 have assembled 622 themselves {as} the people 5971 of the God 430 of Abraham 85, For the shields 4043 of the earth 776 belong to God 430; He is highly 3966 exalted 5927.

Great 1419 is the LORD 3068, and greatly 3966 to be praised 1984, In the city 5892 of our God 430, His holy 6944 mountain 2022.
2 Beautiful 3303 in elevation 5131, the joy 4885 of the whole 3605 earth 776, Is Mount 2022 Zion 6726 {in} the far 3411 north 6828, The city 7151 of the great 7227 King 4428.
3 God 430, in her palaces 759, Has made Himself known 3045 as a stronghold 4869.
4 ¶ For, lo 2009, the kings 4428 assembled 3259 themselves, They passed 5674 by together 3164.
5 They saw 7200 {it,} then 3651 they were amazed 8539; They were terrified 926, they fled 2648 in alarm 2648.
6 Panic 7461 seized 270 them there 8033, Anguish 2427, as of a woman in childbirth 3205.
7 With the east 6921 wind 7307 You break 7665 the ships 591 of Tarshish 8659.
8 As we have heard 8085, so 3651 have we seen 7200 In the city 5892 of the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, in the city 5892 of our God 430; God 430 will establish 3559 her forever. Selah 5542.
9 ¶ We have thought 1819 on Your lovingkindness 2617, O God 430, In the midst 7130 of Your temple 1964.
10 As is Your name 8034, O God 430, So 3651 is Your praise 8416 to the ends 7099 of the earth 776; Your right 3225 hand 3225 is full 4390 of righteousness 6664.
11 Let Mount 2022 Zion 6726 be glad 8055, Let the daughters 1323 of Judah 3063 rejoice 1523 Because 4616 of Your judgments 4941.
12 Walk 5437 about 5437 Zion 6726 and go 5362 around 5362 her; Count 5608 her towers 4026;
13 Consider her ramparts 2426; Go 6448 through 6448 her palaces 759, That you may tell 5608 {it} to the next 314 generation 1755.

The Folly of Trusting in Riches.

Hear 8085 this 384, all 3605 peoples 5971; Give 238 ear 238, all 3605 inhabitants 3427 of the world 2465,
2 Both 1571 low and high, Rich 6223 and poor 34 together 3162.
3 My mouth 6310 will speak 1696 wisdom 2451, And the meditation 1900 of my heart 3820 {will be} understanding 8394.
4 I will incline 5186 my ear 241 to a proverb 4912; I will express 6605 my riddle 2420 on the harp 3658.
5 ¶ Why 4100 should I fear 3372 in days 3117 of adversity 7451, When the iniquity 5771 of my foes 6120 surrounds 5437 me,
6 Even those who trust 982 in their wealth 2428 And boast 1984 in the abundance 7230 of their riches 6239?
7 No 3808 man 376 can by any 6299 means 6299 redeem 6299 {his} brother 251 Or 3808 give 5414 to God 430 a ransom 3724 for him--
8 For the redemption 6306 of his soul 5315 is costly 3365, And he should cease 2308 {trying} forever 5769--
9 That he should live 2421 on eternally 5331, That he should not undergo 7845 decay 7845.
10 ¶ For he sees 7200 {that even} wise 2450 men 2450 die 4191; The stupid 3684 and the senseless 1198 alike 3162 perish 6 And leave 5800 their wealth 2428 to others 312.
11 Their inner 7130 thought 7130 is {that} their houses 1004 are forever 5769 {And} their dwelling 4908 places 4908 to all 1755 generations 1755; They have called 7121 their lands 127 after their own names 8034.
12 But man 120 in {his} pomp 3366 will not endure 3885; He is like 4911 the beasts 929 that perish 1820.
13 ¶ This 2088 is the way 1870 of those who are foolish 3689, And of those after 310 them who approve 7521 their words 6310. Selah 5542.
14 As sheep 6629 they are appointed 8371 for Sheol 7585; Death 4194 shall be their shepherd 7462; And the upright 3477 shall rule 7287 over them in the morning 1242, And their form 6736 shall be for Sheol 7585 to consume 1086 So 4480 that they have no 4480 habitation 2073.
15 But God 430 will redeem 6299 my soul 5315 from the power 3027 of Sheol 7585, For He will receive 3947 me. Selah 5542.
16 ¶ Do not be afraid 3372 when 3588 a man 376 becomes 6238 rich 6238, When 3588 the glory 3519 of his house 1004 is increased 7235;
17 For when 3588 he dies 4194 he will carry 3947 nothing away; His glory 3519 will not descend 3381 after 310 him.
18 Though 3588 while he lives 2425 he congratulates 1288 himself 5315-- And though {men} praise 3034 you when 3588 you do 3190 well 3190 for yourself--
19 He shall go 935 to the generation 1755 of his fathers 1; They will never see 7200 the light 216.
20 Man 120 in {his} pomp 3366, yet without 3808 understanding 995, Is like 4911 the beasts 929 that perish 1820.

2 Out of Zion 6726, the perfection 4359 of beauty 3308, God 430 has shone 3313 forth 3313.

4 He summons 7121 the heavens 8064 above, And the earth 776, to judge 1777 His people 5971:
5 "Gather 622 My godly 2623 ones 2623 to Me, Those who have made 3772 a covenant 1285 with Me by sacrifice 2077."
6 And the heavens 8064 declare 5046 His righteousness 6664, For God 430 Himself 1931 is judge 8199. Selah 5542.
7 ¶ "Hear 8085, O My people 5971, and I will speak 1696; O Israel 3478, I will testify 5749 against you; I am God 430, your God 430.
8 "I do not reprove 3198 you for your sacrifices 2077, And your burnt 5930 offerings 5930 are continually 8548 before 5048 Me.
9 "I shall take 3947 no 3808 young 6499 bull 6499 out of your house 1004 Nor male 6260 goats 6260 out of your folds 4356.
10 "For every 3605 beast 2421 of the forest 3293 is Mine, The cattle 929 on a thousand 505 hills 2022.
11 "I know 3045 every 3605 bird 5775 of the mountains 2022, And everything 2123 that moves 2123 in the field 7706 is Mine 5973.
12 "If 518 I were hungry 7456 I would not tell 559 you, For the world 8398 is Mine, and all 4393 it contains 4393.
13 "Shall I eat 398 the flesh 1320 of bulls 47 Or drink 8354 the blood 1818 of male 6260 goats 6260?
14 "Offer 2076 to God 430 a sacrifice 2076 of thanksgiving 8426 And pay 7999 your vows 5088 to the Most 5945 High 5945;
15 Call 7121 upon Me in the day 3117 of trouble 6869; I shall rescue 2502 you, and you will honor 3513 Me."
16 ¶ But to the wicked 7563 God 430 says 559, "What 4100 right have you to tell 5608 of My statutes 2706 And to take 5375 My covenant 1285 in your mouth 6310?
17 "For you hate 8130 discipline 4148, And you cast 7993 My words 1697 behind 310 you.
18 "When 518 you see 7200 a thief 1590, you are pleased 7521 with him, And you associate 2506 with adulterers 5003.
19 "You let 7971 your mouth 6310 loose 7971 in evil 7463 And your tongue 3956 frames 6775 deceit 4820.
20 "You sit 3427 and speak 1696 against your brother 251; You slander your own mother's 517 son 1121.
21 "These 428 things 428 you have done 6213 and I kept 2790 silence 2790; You thought 1819 that I was just like 3644 you; I will reprove 3198 you and state 6186 {the case} in order 6186 before your eyes 5869.
22 ¶ "Now 4994 consider 995 this 384, you who forget 7911 God 433, Or 6435 I will tear 2963 {you} in pieces, and there 369 will be none 369 to deliver 5337.
23 "He who offers 2076 a sacrifice 2076 of thanksgiving 8426 honors 3513 Me; And to him who orders 7760 {his} way 1870 {aright} I shall show 7200 the salvation 3468 of God 430."

PSALM 51

A Contrite Sinner's Prayer for Pardon.

Be gracious 2603 to me, O God 430, according to Your lovingkindness 2617; According to the greatness 7230 of Your compassion 7356 blot 4229 out my transgressions 6588.
2 Wash 3526 me thoroughly 7235 from my iniquity 5771 And cleanse 2891 me from my sin 2403.
3 For I know 3045 my transgressions 6588, And my sin 2403 is ever 8548 before 5048 me.
4 Against You, You only 905, I have sinned 2398 And done 6213 what 7451 is evil 7451 in Your sight 5869, So 4616 that You are justified 6663 when You speak 1696 And blameless 2135 when You judge 8199.
5 ¶ Behold 2005, I was brought 2342 forth 2342 in iniquity 5771, And in sin 2399 my mother 517 conceived 3179 me.
6 Behold 2005, You desire 2654 truth 571 in the innermost 2910 being 2910, And in the hidden 5640 part 5640 You will make me know 3045 wisdom 2451.
7 Purify 2398 me with hyssop 231, and I shall be clean 2891; Wash 3526 me, and I shall be whiter 3835 than 4480 snow 7950.
8 Make me to hear 8085 joy 8342 and gladness 8057, Let the bones 6106 which You have broken 1794 rejoice 1523.
9 Hide 5641 Your face 6440 from my sins 2399 And blot 4229 out all 3605 my iniquities 5771.
10 ¶ Create 1254 in me a clean 2889 heart 3820, O God 430, And renew 2318 a steadfast 3559 spirit 7307 within 7130 me.
11 Do not cast 7993 me away 7993 from Your presence 6440 And do not take 3947 Your Holy 6944 Spirit 7307 from me.
12 Restore 2318 to me the joy 8342 of Your salvation 3468 And sustain 5564 me with a willing 5082 spirit 7307.
13 {Then} I will teach 3925 transgressors 6586 Your ways 1870, And sinners 2400 will be converted 7725 to You.
14 ¶ Deliver 5337 me from bloodguiltiness 1818, O God 430, the God 430 of my salvation 8668; {Then} my tongue 3956 will joyfully 7442 sing 7442 of Your righteousness 6666.
15 O Lord 136, open 6605 my lips 8193, That my mouth 6310 may declare 5046 Your praise 8416.
16 For You do not delight 2654 in sacrifice 2077, otherwise I would give 5414 it; You are not pleased 7521 with burnt 5930 offering 5930.
17 The sacrifices 2077 of God 430 are a broken 7665 spirit 7307; A broken 7665 and a contrite 1794 heart 3820, O God 430, You will not despise 959.
18 ¶ By Your favor 7522 do 3190 good 3190 to Zion 6726; Build 1129 the walls 2346 of Jerusalem 3389.
19 Then 227 You will delight 2654 in righteous 6664 sacrifices 2077, In burnt 5930 offering 5930 and whole 3632 burnt 3632 offering 3632; Then 227 young 6499 bulls 6499 will be offered 5927 on Your altar 4196.

Futility of Boastful Wickedness.

Why 4100 do you boast 1984 in evil 7463, O mighty 1368 man 1368? The lovingkindness 2617 of God 410 {endures} all 3605 day 3117 long.
2 Your tongue 3956 devises 2803 destruction 1942, Like a sharp 3913 razor 8593, O worker 6213 of deceit 7423.
3 You love 157 evil 7451 more 4480 than 4480 good 2896, Falsehood 8267 more 4480 than 4480 speaking 1696 what 6664 is right 6664. Selah 5542.
4 You love 157 all 3605 words 1697 that devour 1105, O deceitful 4820 tongue 3956.
5 ¶ But God 410 will break 5422 you down 5422 forever 5331; He will snatch 2846 you up and tear 5255 you away 5255 from {your} tent 168, And uproot 8327 you from the land 776 of the living 2416. Selah 5542.
6 The righteous 6662 will see 7200 and fear 3372, And will laugh 7832 at him, {saying,}
7 "Behold 2009, the man 1397 who would not make 7760 God 430 his refuge 4581, But trusted 982 in the abundance 7230 of his riches 6239 {And} was strong 5810 in his {evil} desire 1942."
8 ¶ But as for me, I am like a green 7488 olive 2132 tree 2132 in the house 1004 of God 430; I trust 982 in the lovingkindness 2617 of God 430 forever 5769 and ever 5703.
9 I will give 3034 You thanks 3034 forever 5769, because 3588 You have done 6213 {it,} And I will wait 6960 on Your name 8034, for {it is} good 2896, in the presence 5048 of Your godly 2623 ones 2623.

PSALM 53

Folly and Wickedness of Men.

The fool 5036 has said 559 in his heart 3820, "There 369 is no 369 God 430," They are corrupt 7843, and have committed 8581 abominable 8581 injustice 5766; There 369 is no 369 one 369 who does 6213 good 2896.
2 God 430 has looked 8259 down 8259 from heaven 8064 upon the sons 1121 of men 120 To see 7200 if there 3426 is anyone who understands 7919, Who seeks 1875 after God 430.
3 Every 3605 one 3605 of them has turned 5472 aside 5472; together 3164 they have become 444 corrupt 444; There 369 is no 369 one 369 who does 6213 good 2896, not even 1571 one 259.
4 ¶ Have 3045 the workers 6466 of wickedness 205 no 3808 knowledge 3045, Who eat 398 up My people 5971 {as though} they ate 398 bread 3899 And have not called 7121 upon God 430?
5 There 8033 they were in great 6343 fear 6343 {where} no 3808 fear 6343 had been 1961; For God 430 scattered 6340 the bones 6106 of him who encamped 2583 against you; You put 954 {them} to shame 954, because 3588 God 430 had rejected 3988 them.
6 Oh, that the salvation 3444 of Israel 3478 would come out of Zion 6726! When God 430 restores 7725 His captive 7622 people 5971, Let Jacob 3290 rejoice 1523, let Israel 3478 be glad 8055.

Prayer for Defense against Enemies.

Save 3467 me, O God 430, by Your name 8034, And vindicate 1777 me by Your power 1369.
2 Hear 8085 my prayer 8605, O God 430; Give 238 ear 238 to the words 561 of my mouth 6310.
3 For strangers 2114 have risen 6965 against 5921 me And violent 6184 men 6184 have sought 1245 my life 5315; They have not set 7760 God 430 before 5048 them. Selah 5542.
4 ¶ Behold 2009, God 430 is my helper 5826; The Lord 136 is the sustainer 5564 of my soul 5315.
5 He will recompense 7725 the evil 7451 to my foes 7796; Destroy 6789 them in Your faithfulness 571.
6 ¶ Willingly 5071 I will sacrifice 2076 to You; I will give 3034 thanks 3034 to Your name 8034, O LORD 3068, for it is good 2896.
7 For He has delivered 5337 me from all 3605 trouble 6869, And my eye 5869 has looked 7200 {with satisfaction} upon my enemies 340.

PSALM 55

Prayer for the Destruction of the Treacherous.

Give 238 ear 238 to my prayer 8605, O God 430; And do not hide 5956 Yourself from my supplication 8467.
2 Give 7181 heed 7181 to me and answer 6030 me; I am restless 7300 in my complaint 7879 and am surely 1949 distracted 1949,
3 Because 4480 of the voice 6963 of the enemy 340, Because of the pressure 6125 of the wicked 7563; For they bring 4131 down 4131 trouble 205 upon me And in anger 639 they bear 7852 a grudge 7852 against 7852 me.
4 ¶ My heart 3820 is in anguish 2342 within 7130 me, And the terrors 367 of death 4194 have fallen 5307 upon me.
5 Fear 3374 and trembling 7461 come 935 upon me, And horror 6427 has overwhelmed 3680 me.
6 I said 559, "Oh, that I had 5414 wings 83 like a dove 3123! I would fly 5774 away 5774 and be at rest 7931.
7 "Behold 2009, I would wander 5074 far 7368 away, I would lodge 3885 in the wilderness 4057. Selah 5542.
8 "I would hasten 2363 to my place 4655 of refuge 4655 From the stormy 5584 wind 7307 {and} tempest 5591."
9 ¶ Confuse 1104, O Lord 136, divide 6385 their tongues 3956, For I have seen 7200 violence 2555 and strife 7379 in the city 5892.
10 Day 3119 and night 3915 they go 5437 around 5437 her upon her walls 2346, And iniquity 205 and mischief 5999 are in her midst 7130.
11 Destruction 1942 is in her midst 7130; Oppression 8496 and deceit 4820 do not depart 4185 from her streets 7339.
12 ¶ For it is not an enemy 340 who reproaches 2778 me, Then I could bear 5375 {it;} Nor 3808 is it one who hates 8130 me who has exalted 1431 himself against 5921 me, Then I could hide 5641 myself from him.
13 But it is you, a man 582 my equal 6187, My companion 441 and my familiar 3045 friend 3045;
14 We who 834 had 4985 sweet 4985 fellowship 5475 together 3164 Walked 1980 in the house 1004 of God 430 in the throng 7285.
15 Let death 4194 come 5378 deceitfully 5378 upon them; Let them go 3381 down 3381 alive 2416 to Sheol 7585, For evil 7451 is in their dwelling 4033, in their midst 7130.
16 ¶ As for me, I shall call 7121 upon God 430, And the LORD 3068 will save 3467 me.
17 Evening 6153 and morning 1242 and at noon 6672, I will complain 7878 and murmur 1993, And He will hear 8085 my voice 6963.
18 He will redeem 6299 my soul 5315 in peace 7965 from the battle 7128 {which is} against me, For they are many 7227 {who strive} with me.
19 God 410 will hear 8085 and answer 6030 them-- Even the one who sits 3427 enthroned 3427 from of old 6924-- Selah 5542. With whom 834 there 369 is no 369 change 2487, And who do not fear 3372 God 430.
20 He has put 7971 forth 7971 his hands 3027 against those who 7965 were at peace 7965 with him; He has violated 2490 his covenant 1285.
21 His speech 6310 was smoother 2505 than 4480 butter 4260, But his heart 3820 was war 7128; His words 1697 were softer 7401 than 4480 oil 8081, Yet they were drawn 6609 swords 6609.
22 ¶ Cast 7993 your burden 3053 upon the LORD 3068 and He will sustain 3557 you; He will never allow 5414 the righteous 6662 to be shaken 4131.
23 But You, O God 430, will bring 3381 them down 3381 to the pit 875 of destruction 7845; Men 376 of bloodshed 1818 and deceit 4820 will not live 2673 out half 2673 their days 3117. But I will trust 982 in You.

Supplication for Deliverance and Grateful Trust in God.

Be gracious 2603 to me, O God 430, for man 582 has trampled 7602 upon me; Fighting 3898 all 3605 day 3117 long he oppresses 3905 me.
2 My foes 7796 have trampled 7602 upon me all 3605 day 3117 long, For they are many 7227 who fight 3898 proudly 4791 against me.
3 When 3117 I am afraid 3372, I will put 982 my trust 982 in You.
4 In God 430, whose word 1697 I praise 1984, In God 430 I have put 982 my trust 982; I shall not be afraid 3372. What 4100 can {mere} man 1320 do 6213 to me?
5 All 3605 day 3117 long they distort 6087 my words 1697; All 3605 their thoughts 4284 are against 5921 me for evil 7451.
6 They attack 1481, they lurk 6845, They watch 8104 my steps 6119, As they have waited 6960 {to take} my life 5315.
7 Because 5921 of wickedness 205, cast 6405 them forth 6405, In anger 639 put 3381 down 3381 the peoples 5971, O God 430!
8 ¶ You have taken 5608 account 5608 of my wanderings 5112; Put 7760 my tears 1832 in Your bottle 4997. Are {they} not in Your book 5613?
9 Then 227 my enemies 340 will turn 7725 back 268 in the day 3117 when I call 7121; This 2088 I know 3045, that God 430 is for me.
10 In God 430, {whose} word 1697 I praise 1984, In the LORD 3068, {whose} word 1697 I praise 1984,
11 In God 430 I have put 982 my trust 982, I shall not be afraid 3372. What 4100 can man 120 do 6213 to me?
12 Your vows 5088 are {binding} upon me, O God 430; I will render 7999 thank 8426 offerings 8426 to You.
13 For You have delivered 5337 my soul 5315 from death 4194, Indeed 3808 my feet 7272 from stumbling 1762, So that I may walk 1980 before 6440 God 430 In the light 216 of the living 2416.

2 I will cry 7121 to God 430 Most 5945 High 5945, To God 410 who accomplishes 1584 {all things} for me.
3 He will send 7971 from heaven 8064 and save 3467 me; He reproaches 2778 him who tramples 7602 upon me. Selah 5542. God 430 will send 7971 forth His lovingkindness 2617 and His truth 571.
4 ¶ My soul 5315 is among 8432 lions 3833; I must lie 7901 among those who breathe 3857 forth 3857 fire 3857, {Even} the sons 1121 of men 120, whose teeth 8127 are spears 2595 and arrows 2671 And their tongue 3956 a sharp 2299 sword 2719.
5 Be exalted 7311 above 5921 the heavens 8064, O God 430; {Let} Your glory 3519 {be} above 5921 all 3605 the earth 776.

Prayer for the Punishment of the Wicked.

Do you indeed 552 speak 1696 righteousness 6664, O gods 410? Do you judge 8199 uprightly 4339, O sons 1121 of men 120?
2 No 637, in heart 3820 you work 6466 unrighteousness 5767; On earth 776 you weigh 6424 out the violence 2555 of your hands 3027.
3 The wicked 7563 are estranged 2114 from the womb 7358; These who speak 1696 lies 3577 go 8582 astray 8582 from birth 990.
4 They have venom 2534 like 1823 the venom 2534 of a serpent 5175; Like 3644 a deaf 2795 cobra 6620 that stops 331 up its ear 241,
5 So 834 that it does not hear 8085 the voice 6963 of charmers 3907, {Or} a skillful 2449 caster 2266 of spells 2267.
6 ¶ O God 430, shatter 2040 their teeth 8127 in their mouth 6310; Break 5422 out the fangs 4973 of the young 3715 lions 3715, O LORD 3068.
7 Let them flow 3988 away like 3644 water 4325 that runs 1980 off 1980; {When} he aims 1869 his arrows 2671, let them be as headless 4448 shafts 4135.
8 {Let them be} as a snail 7642 which melts 8557 away 8557 as it goes 1980 along, {Like} the miscarriages 5309 of a woman 802 which never 1077 see 2372 the sun 8121.
9 Before 2962 your pots 5518 can feel 995 {the fire of} thorns 329 He will sweep 8175 them away 8175 with a whirlwind 8175, the green 2416 and the burning 2740 alike 3644.
10 ¶ The righteous 6662 will rejoice 8055 when 3588 he sees 2372 the vengeance 5359; He will wash 7364 his feet 6471 in the blood 1818 of the wicked 7563.
11 And men 120 will say 559, "Surely 389 there is a reward 6529 for the righteous 6662; Surely 389 there 3426 is a God 430 who judges 8199 on earth 776!"

Prayer for Deliverance from Enemies.

Deliver 5337 me from my enemies 340, O my God 430; Set 7682 me {securely} on high 7682 away from those who rise 6965 up against me.
2 Deliver 5337 me from those who do 6466 iniquity 205 And save 3467 me from men 376 of bloodshed 1818.
3 For behold 2009, they have set 693 an ambush 693 for my life 5315; Fierce 5794 men 5794 launch 1481 an attack 1481 against 5921 me, Not for my transgression 6588 nor 3808 for my sin 2403, O LORD 3068,
4 For no 1097 guilt 5771 of {mine,} they run 7323 and set 3559 themselves against me. Arouse 5782 Yourself to help 7122 me, and see 7200!
5 You, O LORD 3068 God 430 of hosts 6635, the God 430 of Israel 3478, Awake 7019 to punish 6485 all 3605 the nations 1471; Do not be gracious 2603 to any 3605 {who are} treacherous 898 in iniquity 205. Selah 5542.
6 They return 7725 at evening 6153, they howl 1993 like a dog 3611, And go 5437 around 5437 the city 5892.
7 Behold 2009, they belch 5042 forth 5042 with their mouth 6310; Swords 2719 are in their lips 8193, For, {they say,} "Who 4310 hears 8085?"
8 But You, O LORD 3068, laugh 7832 at them; You scoff 3932 at all 3605 the nations 1471.
9 ¶ {Because of} his strength 5797 I will watch 8104 for You, For God 430 is my stronghold 4869.
10 My God 430 in His lovingkindness 2617 will meet 6923 me; God 430 will let me look 7200 {triumphantly} upon my foes 7796.
11 Do not slay 2026 them, or 6435 my people 5971 will forget 7911; Scatter 5128 them by Your power 2428, and bring 3381 them down 3381, O Lord 136, our shield 4043.
12 {On account of} the sin 2403 of their mouth 6310 {and} the words 1697 of their lips 8193, Let them even be caught 3920 in their pride 1347, And on account 4480 of curses 423 and lies 3585 which they utter 5608.
13 Destroy 3615 {them} in wrath 2534, destroy 3615 {them} that they may be no 369 more 369; That {men} may know 3045 that God 430 rules 4910 in Jacob 3290 To the ends 657 of the earth 776. Selah 5542.
14 They return 7725 at evening 6153, they howl 1993 like a dog 3611, And go 5437 around 5437 the city 5892.
15 They wander 5128 about for food 398 And growl 3885 if 518 they are not satisfied 7646.
16 ¶ But as for me, I shall sing 7891 of Your strength 5797; Yes, I shall joyfully 7442 sing 7442 of Your lovingkindness 2617 in the morning 1242, For You have been 1961 my stronghold 4869 And a refuge 4498 in the day 3117 of my distress 6862.
17 O my strength 5797, I will sing 2167 praises 2167 to You; For God 430 is my stronghold 4869, the God 430 who shows me lovingkindness 2617.

PSALM 60

Lament over Defeat in Battle, and Prayer for Help.

O God 430, You have rejected 2186 us. You have broken 6555 us; You have been 599 angry 599; O, restore 7725 us.
2 You have made the land 776 quake 7493, You have split 6480 it open 6480; Heal 7495 its breaches 7667, for it totters 4131.
3 You have made Your people 5971 experience 7200 hardship 7186; You have given 8248 us wine 3196 to drink 8248 that makes us stagger 8653.
4 You have given 5414 a banner 5251 to those who fear 3372 You, That it may be displayed 5264 because of the truth 7189. Selah 5542.
5 That Your beloved 3039 may be delivered 2502, Save 3467 with Your right 3225 hand 3225, and answer 6030 us!
6 ¶ God 430 has spoken 1696 in His holiness 6944: "I will exult 5937, I will portion 2505 out Shechem 7927 and measure 4058 out the valley 6010 of Succoth 5523.
7 "Gilead 1568 is Mine, and Manasseh 4519 is Mine; Ephraim 669 also is the helmet 4581 of My head 7218; Judah 3063 is My scepter 2710.
8 "Moab 4124 is My washbowl 7366; Over 5921 Edom 112 I shall throw 7993 My shoe 5275; Shout 7321 loud 7321, O Philistia 6429, because 5921 of Me!"
9 ¶ Who 4310 will bring 2986 me into the besieged 4692 city 5892? Who 4310 will lead 5148 me to Edom 112?
10 Have not You Yourself 859, O God 430, rejected 2186 us? And will You not go 3318 forth 3318 with our armies 6635, O God 430?
11 O give 3051 us help 5833 against 4480 the adversary 6862, For deliverance 8668 by man 120 is in vain 7723.
12 Through God 430 we shall do 6213 valiantly 2428, And it is He who will tread 947 down 947 our adversaries 6862.

PSALM 61

Confidence in God's Protection.

Hear 8085 my cry 7440, O God 430; Give 7181 heed 7181 to my prayer 8605.
2 From the end 7097 of the earth 776 I call 7121 to You when my heart 3820 is faint 5848; Lead 5148 me to the rock 6697 that is higher 7311 than 4480 I.
3 For You have been 1961 a refuge 4268 for me, A tower 4026 of strength 5797 against the enemy 340.
4 Let me dwell 1481 in Your tent 168 forever 5769; Let me take 2620 refuge 2620 in the shelter 5643 of Your wings 3671. Selah 5542.
5 ¶ For You have heard 8085 my vows 5088, O God 430; You have given 5414 {me} the inheritance 3425 of those who fear 3372 Your name 8034.
6 You will prolong 3254 the king's 4428 life 3117; His years 8141 will be as many 1755 generations 1755.
7 He will abide 3427 before 6440 God 430 forever 5769; Appoint 4487 lovingkindness 2617 and truth 571 that they may preserve 5341 him.
8 So 3651 I will sing 2167 praise 2167 to Your name 8034 forever 5703, That I may pay 7999 my vows 5088 day 3117 by day 3117.

PSALM 62

God Alone a Refuge from Treachery and Oppression.

My soul 5315 {waits} in silence 1747 for God 430 only 389; From Him is my salvation 3444.
2 He only 389 is my rock 6697 and my salvation 3444, My stronghold 4869; I shall not be greatly 7227 shaken 4131.
3 ¶ How 575 long 5704 will you assail 1956 a man 376, That you may murder 7523 {him,} all 3605 of you, Like a leaning 5186 wall 1447, like a tottering 1760 fence 1447?
4 They have counseled 3289 only 389 to thrust 5080 him down 5080 from his high 7613 position 7613; They delight 7521 in falsehood 3577; They bless 1288 with their mouth 6310, But inwardly 7130 they curse 7043. Selah 5542.
5 ¶ My soul 5315, wait 1826 in silence 1826 for God 430 only 389, For my hope 8615 is from Him.
6 He only 389 is my rock 6697 and my salvation 3444, My stronghold 4869; I shall not be shaken 4131.
7 On God 430 my salvation 3468 and my glory 3519 {rest;} The rock 6697 of my strength 5797, my refuge 4268 is in God 430.
8 Trust 982 in Him at all 3605 times 6256, O people 5971; Pour 8210 out your heart 3824 before 6440 Him; God 430 is a refuge 4268 for us. Selah 5542.
9 ¶ Men of low degree are only 389 vanity 1892 and men of rank 376 are a lie 3577; In the balances 3976 they go 5927 up; They are together 3162 lighter than 4480 breath 1892.
10 Do not trust 982 in oppression 6233 And do not vainly 1891 hope 1891 in robbery 1498; If 3588 riches 2428 increase 5107, do not set 7896 {your} heart 3820 {upon them.}
11 ¶ Once 259 God 430 has spoken 1696; Twice 8147 I have heard 8085 this 2098: That power 5797 belongs to God 430;
12 And lovingkindness 2617 is Yours, O Lord 136, For You recompense 7999 a man 376 according to his work 4639.

PSALM 63

The Thirsting Soul Satisfied in God.

O God 430, You are my God 410; I shall seek 7836 You earnestly 7836; My soul 5315 thirsts 6770 for You, my flesh 1320 yearns 3642 for You, In a dry 6723 and weary 5889 land 776 where there is no 1097 water 4325.
2 Thus 3651 I have seen 2372 You in the sanctuary 6944, To see 7200 Your power 5797 and Your glory 3519.
3 Because 3588 Your lovingkindness 2617 is better 2896 than 4480 life 2425, My lips 8193 will praise 7623 You.
4 So 3651 I will bless 1288 You as long as I live 2425; I will lift 5375 up my hands 3709 in Your name 8034.
5 My soul 5315 is satisfied 7646 as with marrow 2459 and fatness 1880, And my mouth 6310 offers 1984 praises 1984 with joyful 7445 lips 8193.
6 ¶ When 518 I remember 2142 You on my bed 3326, I meditate 1897 on You in the night watches 821,
7 For You have been 1961 my help 5833, And in the shadow 6738 of Your wings 3671 I sing 7442 for joy 7442.
8 My soul 5315 clings 1692 to You; Your right 3225 hand 3225 upholds 8551 me.
9 ¶ But those 1992 who seek 1245 my life 5315 to destroy 7724 it, Will go 935 into the depths 8482 of the earth 776.
10 They will be delivered 5064 over 5064 to the power 3027 of the sword 2719; They will be a prey 4521 for foxes 7776.
11 But the king 4428 will rejoice 8055 in God 430; Everyone 3605 who swears 7650 by Him will glory 1984, For the mouths 6310 of those who speak 1696 lies 8267 will be stopped 5534.

PSALM 64

Prayer for Deliverance from Secret Enemies.

Hear 8085 my voice 6963, O God 430, in my complaint 7879; Preserve 5341 my life 2425 from dread 6343 of the enemy 340.
2 Hide 5641 me from the secret 5475 counsel 5475 of evildoers 7489, From the tumult 7285 of those who do 6466 iniquity 205,
3 Who 834 have sharpened 8150 their tongue 3956 like a sword 2719. They aimed 1869 bitter 4751 speech 1697 {as} their arrow 2671,
4 To shoot 3384 from concealment 4565 at the blameless 8535; Suddenly 6597 they shoot 3384 at him, and do not fear 3372.
5 They hold 2388 fast 2388 to themselves an evil 7451 purpose 1697; They talk 5608 of laying 2934 snares 4170 secretly 2934; They say 559, "Who 4310 can see 7200 them?"
6 They devise 2664 injustices 5767, {saying,} "We are ready 8552 with a well-conceived 2664 plot 2665"; For the inward 7130 thought 7130 and the heart 3820 of a man 376 are deep 6013.
7 ¶ But God 430 will shoot 3384 at them with an arrow 2671; Suddenly 6597 they will be wounded 4347.
8 So they will make him stumble 3782; Their own tongue 3956 is against 5921 them; All 3605 who see 7200 them will shake 5074 the head.
9 Then all 3605 men 120 will fear 3372, And they will declare 5046 the work 6467 of God 430, And will consider 7919 what 4639 He has done 4639.
10 The righteous 6662 man 6662 will be glad 8055 in the LORD 3068 and will take 2620 refuge 2620 in Him; And all 3605 the upright 3477 in heart 3820 will glory 1984.

PSALM 65

God's Abundant Favor to Earth and Man.

There will be silence 1747 before You, {and} praise 8416 in Zion 6726, O God 430, And to You the vow 5088 will be performed 7999.
2 O You who hear 8085 prayer 8605, To You all 3605 men 1320 come 935.
3 Iniquities 5771 prevail 1396 against 4480 me; As for our transgressions 6588, You forgive 3722 them.
4 How blessed 835 is the one whom You choose 977 and bring 7126 near 7126 {to You} To dwell 7931 in Your courts 2691. We will be satisfied 7646 with the goodness 2898 of Your house 1004, Your holy 6918 temple 1964.
5 ¶ By awesome 3372 {deeds} You answer 6030 us in righteousness 6664, O God 430 of our salvation 3468, You who 4009 are the trust 4009 of all 3605 the ends 7099 of the earth 776 and of the farthest 7350 sea 3220;
6 Who establishes 3559 the mountains 2022 by His strength 3581, Being girded 247 with might 1369;
7 Who stills 7623 the roaring 7588 of the seas 3220, The roaring 7588 of their waves 1530, And the tumult 1995 of the peoples 3816.
8 They who dwell 3427 in the ends 7117 {of the earth} stand 3372 in awe 3372 of Your signs 226; You make the dawn 1242 and the sunset 6153 shout 7442 for joy 7442.
9 ¶ You visit 6485 the earth 776 and cause it to overflow 7783; You greatly 7227 enrich 6238 it; The stream 6388 of God 430 is full 4390 of water 4325; You prepare 3559 their grain 1715, for thus 3651 You prepare 3559 the earth.
10 You water 7301 its furrows 8525 abundantly 7301, You settle 5181 its ridges 1417, You soften 4127 it with showers 7241, You bless 1288 its growth 6780.
11 You have crowned 5849 the year 8141 with Your bounty 2899, And Your paths 4570 drip 7491 {with} fatness 1880.
12 The pastures 4999 of the wilderness 4057 drip 7491, And the hills 1389 gird 2296 themselves with rejoicing 1524.
13 The meadows 3733 are clothed 3847 with flocks 6629 And the valleys 6010 are covered 5848 with grain 1250; They shout 7321 for joy 7321, yes 637, they sing 7891.

PSALM 66

Praise for God's Mighty Deeds and for His Answer to Prayer.

Shout 7321 joyfully 7321 to God 430, all 3605 the earth 776;
2 Sing 2167 the glory 3519 of His name 8034; Make 7760 His praise 8416 glorious 3519.
3 Say 559 to God 430, "How 4100 awesome 3372 are Your works 4639! Because of the greatness 7230 of Your power 5797 Your enemies 340 will give 3584 feigned 3584 obedience 3584 to You.
4 "All 3605 the earth 776 will worship 7812 You, And will sing 2167 praises 2167 to You; They will sing 2167 praises 2167 to Your name 8034." Selah 5542.
5 ¶ Come 1980 and see 7200 the works 4659 of God 430, {Who is} awesome 3372 in {His} deeds 5949 toward 5921 the sons 1121 of men 120.
6 He turned 2015 the sea 3220 into dry 3004 land 3004; They passed 5674 through the river 5104 on foot 7272; There 8033 let us rejoice 8055 in Him!
7 He rules 4910 by His might 1369 forever 5703; His eyes 5869 keep 6822 watch 6822 on the nations 1471; Let not the rebellious 5637 exalt 7311 themselves. Selah 5542.
8 ¶ Bless 1288 our God 430, O peoples 5971, And sound His praise 8416 abroad,
9 Who keeps 7760 us in life 2425 And does not allow 5414 our feet 7272 to slip 4131.
10 For You have tried 974 us, O God 430; You have refined 6884 us as silver 3701 is refined 6884.
11 You brought 935 us into the net 4686; You laid 7760 an oppressive 4157 burden 4157 upon our loins 4975.
12 You made men 582 ride 7392 over our heads 7218; We went 935 through fire 784 and through water 4325, Yet You brought 3318 us out into {a place of} abundance 7310.
13 I shall come 935 into Your house 1004 with burnt 5930 offerings 5930; I shall pay 7999 You my vows 5088,
14 Which 834 my lips 8193 uttered 6475 And my mouth 6310 spoke 1696 when I was in distress 6862.
15 I shall offer 5927 to You burnt 5930 offerings 5930 of fat 4220 beasts 4220, With the smoke 7004 of rams 352; I shall make 6213 {an offering of} bulls 1241 with male 6260 goats 6260. Selah 5542.
16 ¶ Come 1980 {and} hear 8085, all 3605 who fear 3372 God 430, And I will tell 5608 of what 834 He has done 6213 for my soul 5315.
17 I cried 7121 to Him with my mouth 6310, And He was extolled 7311 with my tongue 3956.
18 If 518 I regard 7200 wickedness 205 in my heart 3820, The Lord 136 will not hear 8085;
19 But certainly 403 God 430 has heard 8085; He has given 7181 heed 7181 to the voice 6963 of my prayer 8605.
20 Blessed 1288 be God 430, Who 834 has not turned 5493 away 5493 my prayer 8605 Nor 3808 His lovingkindness 2617 from me.

2 That Your way 1870 may be known 3045 on the earth 776, Your salvation 3444 among all 3605 nations 1471.

PSALM 68

The God of Sinai and of the Sanctuary.

Let God 430 arise 6965, let His enemies 340 be scattered 6327, And let those who hate 8130 Him flee 5127 before Him.
2 As smoke 6227 is driven 5086 away 5086, {so} drive 5086 {them} away 5086; As wax 1749 melts 4549 before the fire 784, {So} let the wicked 7563 perish 6 before God 430.
3 But let the righteous 6662 be glad 8055; let them exult 5970 before 6440 God 430; Yes, let them rejoice 7797 with gladness 8057.
4 Sing 7891 to God 430, sing 2167 praises 2167 to His name 8034; Lift 5549 up {a song} for Him who rides 7392 through the deserts 6160, Whose name 8034 is the LORD 3050, and exult 5937 before 6440 Him.
5 ¶ A father 1 of the fatherless 3490 and a judge 1781 for the widows 490, Is God 430 in His holy 6944 habitation 4583.
6 God 430 makes 3427 a home 1004 for the lonely 3173; He leads 3318 out the prisoners 615 into prosperity 3574, Only 389 the rebellious 5637 dwell 7931 in a parched 6707 land 6707.
7 ¶ O God 430, when You went 3318 forth 3318 before 6440 Your people 5971, When You marched 6805 through the wilderness 3452, Selah 5542.
8 The earth 776 quaked 7493; The heavens 8064 also 637 dropped 5197 {rain} at the presence 6440 of God 430; Sinai 5514 itself 2088 {quaked} at the presence 6440 of God 430, the God 430 of Israel 3478.
9 You shed 5130 abroad 5130 a plentiful 5071 rain 1653, O God 430; You confirmed 3559 Your inheritance 5159 when it was parched 3811.
10 Your creatures 2421 settled 3427 in it; You provided 3559 in Your goodness 2899 for the poor 6041, O God 430.
11 ¶ The Lord 136 gives 5414 the command 561; The women who proclaim 1319 the {good} tidings 1319 are a great 7227 host 6635:
12 "Kings 4428 of armies 6635 flee 5074, they flee 5074, And she who 5116 remains 5116 at home 1004 will divide 2505 the spoil 7998!"
13 When 518 you lie 7901 down 7901 among 996 the sheepfolds 8240, {You are like} the wings 3671 of a dove 3123 covered 2645 with silver 3701, And its pinions 84 with glistening 3422 gold 2742.
14 When the Almighty 7706 scattered 6566 the kings 4428 there, It was snowing 7949 in Zalmon 6756.
15 ¶ A mountain 2022 of God 430 is the mountain 2022 of Bashan 1316; A mountain 2022 {of many} peaks 1386 is the mountain 2022 of Bashan 1316.
16 Why 4100 do you look 7520 with envy 7520, O mountains 2022 with {many} peaks 1386, At the mountain 2022 which God 430 has desired 2530 for His abode 3427? Surely 637 the LORD 3068 will dwell 7931 {there} forever 5331.
17 The chariots 7393 of God 430 are myriads 7239, thousands 8136 upon thousands 505; The Lord 136 is among them {as at} Sinai 5514, in holiness 6944.
18 You have ascended 5927 on high 4791, You have led 7617 captive 7617 {Your} captives 7628; You have received 3947 gifts 4979 among men 120, Even {among} the rebellious 5637 also 637, that the LORD 3050 God 430 may dwell 7931 {there.}
19 ¶ Blessed 1288 be the Lord 136, who daily 3117 bears 6006 our burden 6006, The God 410 {who} is our salvation 3444. Selah 5542.
20 God 410 is to us a God 410 of deliverances 4190; And to GOD 3068 the Lord 136 belong escapes 8444 from death 4194.
21 Surely 389 God 430 will shatter 4272 the head 7218 of His enemies 340, The hairy 8181 crown 6936 of him who goes 1980 on in his guilty 817 deeds 817.
22 The Lord 136 said 559, "I will bring 7725 {them} back 7725 from Bashan 1316. I will bring 7725 {them} back 7725 from the depths 4688 of the sea 3220;
23 That your foot 7272 may shatter 4272 {them} in blood 1818, The tongue 3956 of your dogs 3611 {may have} its portion 4521 from {your} enemies 340."
24 ¶ They have seen 7200 Your procession 1979, O God 430, The procession 1979 of my God 410, my King 4428, into the sanctuary 6944.
25 The singers 7891 went 6923 on, the musicians 5059 after 310 {them,} In the midst 8432 of the maidens 5959 beating 8608 tambourines 8608.
26 Bless 1288 God 430 in the congregations 4721, {Even} the LORD 3068, {you who are} of the fountain 4726 of Israel 3478.
27 There 8033 is Benjamin 1144, the youngest 6810, ruling 7287 them, The princes 8269 of Judah 3063 {in} their throng 7277, The princes 8269 of Zebulun 2074, the princes 8269 of Naphtali 5321.
28 ¶ Your God 430 has commanded 6680 your strength 5797; Show 5810 Yourself strong 5810, O God 430, who 2098 have acted 6466 on our behalf.
29 Because 4480 of Your temple 1964 at Jerusalem 3389 Kings 4428 will bring 2986 gifts 7862 to You.
30 Rebuke 1605 the beasts 2421 in the reeds 7070, The herd 5712 of bulls 47 with the calves 5695 of the peoples 5971, Trampling 7511 under foot 7511 the pieces 7518 of silver 3701; He has scattered 967 the peoples 5971 who delight 2654 in war 7128.
31 Envoys 2831 will come 857 out of Egypt 4714; Ethiopia 3568 will quickly 7323 stretch 7323 out her hands 3027 to God 430.
32 ¶ Sing 7891 to God 430, O kingdoms 4467 of the earth 776, Sing 2167 praises 2167 to the Lord 136, Selah 5542.
33 To Him who rides 7392 upon the highest 8064 heavens 8064, which are from ancient 6924 times 6924; Behold 2005, He speaks 5414 forth 5414 with His voice 6963, a mighty 5797 voice 6963.
34 Ascribe 5414 strength 5797 to God 430; His majesty 1346 is over 5921 Israel 3478 And His strength 5797 is in the skies 7834.
35 O God 430, {You are} awesome 3372 from Your sanctuary 4720. The God 410 of Israel 3478 Himself 1931 gives 5414 strength 5797 and power 8592 to the people 5971. Blessed 1288 be God 430!

PSALM 69

A Cry of Distress and Imprecation on Adversaries.

Save 3467 me, O God 430, For the waters 4325 have threatened my life 5315.
2 I have sunk 2883 in deep 4688 mire 3121, and there 369 is no 369 foothold 4613; I have come 935 into deep 4615 waters 4325, and a flood 7642 overflows 7857 me.
3 I am weary 3021 with my crying 7121; my throat 1627 is parched 2787; My eyes 5869 fail 3615 while I wait 3176 for my God 430.
4 Those who hate 8130 me without 2600 a cause 2600 are more 7231 than 4480 the hairs 8185 of my head 7218; Those who would destroy 6789 me are powerful 6105, being wrongfully 8267 my enemies 340; What 834 I did not steal 1497, I then 227 have to restore 7725.
5 ¶ O God 430, it is You who knows 3045 my folly 200, And my wrongs 819 are not hidden 3582 from You.
6 May those who wait 6960 for You not be ashamed 954 through me, O Lord 136 GOD 3068 of hosts 6635; May those who seek 1245 You not be dishonored 3637 through me, O God 430 of Israel 3478,
7 Because 3588 for Your sake 5921 I have borne 5375 reproach 2781; Dishonor 3639 has covered 3680 my face 6440.
8 I have 1961 become 1961 estranged 2114 from my brothers 251 And an alien 5237 to my mother's 517 sons 1121.
9 For zeal 7068 for Your house 1004 has consumed 398 me, And the reproaches 2781 of those who reproach 2778 You have fallen 5307 on me.
10 When I wept 1058 in my soul 5315 with fasting 6685, It became 1961 my reproach 2781.
11 When I made 5414 sackcloth 8242 my clothing 3830, I became 1961 a byword 4912 to them.
12 Those who sit 3427 in the gate 8179 talk 7878 about me, And I {am} the song 5058 of the drunkards.
13 ¶ But as for me, my prayer 8605 is to You, O LORD 3068, at an acceptable 7522 time 6256; O God 430, in the greatness 7230 of Your lovingkindness 2617, Answer 6030 me with Your saving 3468 truth 571.
14 Deliver 5337 me from the mire 2916 and do not let me sink 2883; May I be delivered 5337 from my foes 8130 and from the deep 4615 waters 4325.
15 May the flood 7642 of water 4325 not overflow 7857 me Nor 408 the deep 4688 swallow 1104 me up, Nor 408 the pit 875 shut 332 its mouth 6310 on me.
16 ¶ Answer 6030 me, O LORD 3068, for Your lovingkindness 2617 is good 2896; According to the greatness 7230 of Your compassion 7356, turn 6437 to me,
17 And do not hide 5641 Your face 6440 from Your servant 5650, For I am in distress 6887; answer 6030 me quickly 4118.
18 Oh draw 7126 near 7126 to my soul 5315 {and} redeem 1350 it; Ransom 6299 me because 4616 of my enemies 340!
19 You know 3045 my reproach 2781 and my shame 1322 and my dishonor 3639; All 3605 my adversaries 6887 are before 5048 You.
20 ¶ Reproach 2781 has broken 7665 my heart 3820 and I am so sick 5136. And I looked 6960 for sympathy 5110, but there 369 was none 369, And for comforters 5162, but I found 4672 none 3808.
21 They also gave 5414 me gall 7219 for my food 1267 And for my thirst 6772 they gave 8248 me vinegar 2558 to drink 8248.
22 ¶ May their table 7979 before 6440 them become 1961 a snare 4170; And when they are in peace 7965, {may it become} a trap 4170.
23 May their eyes 5869 grow 2821 dim 2821 so 4480 that they cannot 4480 see 7200, And make their loins 4975 shake 4571 continually 8548.
24 Pour 8210 out Your indignation 2195 on them, And may Your burning 2740 anger 639 overtake 5381 them.
25 May their camp 2918 be desolate 8074; May none 408 dwell 3427 in their tents 168.
26 For they have persecuted 7291 him whom 834 You Yourself 859 have smitten 5221, And they tell 5608 of the pain 4341 of those whom You have wounded 2491.
27 Add 5414 iniquity 5771 to their iniquity 5771, And may they not come 935 into Your righteousness 6666.
28 May they be blotted 4229 out of the book 5612 of life 2416 And may they not be recorded 3789 with the righteous 6662.
29 ¶ But I am afflicted 6041 and in pain 3510; May Your salvation 3444, O God 430, set 7682 me {securely} on high 7682.
30 I will praise 1984 the name 8034 of God 430 with song 7892 And magnify 1431 Him with thanksgiving 8426.
31 And it will please 3190 the LORD 3068 better 3190 than 4480 an ox 7794 {Or} a young 6499 bull 6499 with horns 7161 and hoofs 6536.
32 The humble 6035 have seen 7200 {it and} are glad 8055; You who seek 1875 God 430, let your heart 3824 revive 2421.
33 For the LORD 3068 hears 8085 the needy 34 And does not despise 959 His {who are} prisoners 615.
34 ¶ Let heaven 8064 and earth 776 praise 1984 Him, The seas 3220 and everything 3605 that moves 7430 in them.
35 For God 430 will save 3467 Zion 6726 and build 1129 the cities 5892 of Judah 3063, That they may dwell 3427 there 8033 and possess 3423 it.
36 The descendants 2233 of His servants 5650 will inherit 5157 it, And those who love 157 His name 8034 will dwell 7931 in it.

PSALM 70

Prayer for Help against Persecutors.

O God 430, {hasten} to deliver 5337 me; O LORD 3068, hasten 2363 to my help 5833!
2 Let those be ashamed 954 and humiliated 2659 Who seek 1245 my life 5315; Let those be turned 5472 back 268 and dishonored 3637 Who delight 2655 in my hurt 7463.
3 Let those be turned 7725 back 7725 because of their shame 1322 Who say 559, "Aha 1889, aha 1889!"
4 ¶ Let all 3605 who seek 1245 You rejoice 7797 and be glad 8055 in You; And let those who love 157 Your salvation 3444 say 559 continually 8548, "Let God 430 be magnified 1431."
5 But I am afflicted 6041 and needy 34; Hasten 2363 to me, O God 430! You are my help 5828 and my deliverer 6403; O LORD 3068, do not delay 309.

PSALM 71

Prayer of an Old Man for Deliverance.

In You, O LORD 3068, I have taken 2620 refuge 2620; Let me never be ashamed 954.
2 In Your righteousness 6666 deliver 5337 me and rescue 6403 me; Incline 5186 Your ear 241 to me and save 3467 me.
3 Be to me a rock 6697 of habitation 4583 to which I may continually 8548 come 935; You have given 6680 commandment 6680 to save 3467 me, For You are my rock 5553 and my fortress 4686.
4 Rescue 6403 me, O my God 430, out of the hand 3027 of the wicked 7563, Out of the grasp 3709 of the wrongdoer 5765 and ruthless 2556 man 2556,
5 For You are my hope 8615; O Lord 136 GOD 3068, {You are} my confidence 4009 from my youth 5271.
6 By You I have been sustained 5564 from {my} birth 990; You are He who took 1491 me from my mother's 517 womb 990; My praise 8416 is continually 8548 of You.
7 ¶ I have become 1961 a marvel 4159 to many 7227, For You are my strong 5797 refuge 4268.
8 My mouth 6310 is filled 4390 with Your praise 8416 And with Your glory 8597 all 3605 day 3117 long.
9 Do not cast 7993 me off 7993 in the time 6256 of old 2209 age 2209; Do not forsake 5800 me when my strength 3581 fails 3615.
10 For my enemies 340 have spoken 559 against me; And those who watch 8104 for my life 5315 have consulted 3289 together 3164,
11 Saying 559, "God 430 has forsaken 5800 him; Pursue 7291 and seize 8610 him, for there 369 is no 369 one 369 to deliver 5337."
12 ¶ O God 430, do not be far 7368 from me; O my God 430, hasten 2363 to my help 5833!
13 Let those who are adversaries 7853 of my soul 5315 be ashamed 954 {and} consumed 3615; Let them be covered 5844 with reproach 2781 and dishonor 3639, who seek 1245 to injure 7463 me.
14 But as for me, I will hope 3176 continually 8548, And will praise 8416 You yet 3254 more 3254 and more 3254.
15 My mouth 6310 shall tell 5608 of Your righteousness 6666 {And} of Your salvation 8668 all 3605 day 3117 long; For I do not know 3045 the sum 5615 {of them.}
16 I will come 935 with the mighty 1369 deeds 1369 of the Lord 136 GOD 3068; I will make 2142 mention 2142 of Your righteousness 6666, Yours alone 905.
17 ¶ O God 430, You have taught 3925 me from my youth 5271, And I still declare 5046 Your wondrous 6381 deeds 6381.
18 And even 1571 when 5704 {I am} old 2209 and gray 7872, O God 430, do not forsake 5800 me, Until 5704 I declare 5046 Your strength 2220 to {this} generation 1755, Your power 1369 to all 3605 who are to come 935.
19 For Your righteousness 6666, O God 430, {reaches} to the heavens 4791, You who 834 have done 6213 great 1419 things 1419; O God 430, who 4310 is like 3644 You?
20 You who 834 have shown 7200 me many 7227 troubles 6869 and distresses 7463 Will revive 2421 me again 7725, And will bring 5927 me up again 7725 from the depths 8415 of the earth 776.
21 May You increase 7235 my greatness 1420 And turn 5437 {to} comfort 5162 me.
22 ¶ I will also 1571 praise 3034 You with a harp 5035, {Even} Your truth 571, O my God 430; To You I will sing 2167 praises 2167 with the lyre 3658, O Holy 6918 One 6918 of Israel 3478.
23 My lips 8193 will shout 7442 for joy 7442 when 3588 I sing 2167 praises 2167 to You; And my soul 5315, which 834 You have redeemed 6299.
24 My tongue 3956 also 1571 will utter 1897 Your righteousness 6666 all 3605 day 3117 long; For they are ashamed 954, for they are humiliated 2659 who seek 1245 my hurt 7463.

The Reign of the Righteous King.

Give 5414 the king 4428 Your judgments 4941, O God 430, And Your righteousness 6666 to the king's 4428 son 1121.
2 May he judge 1777 Your people 5971 with righteousness 6664 And Your afflicted 6041 with justice 4941.
3 Let the mountains 2022 bring 5375 peace 7965 to the people 5971, And the hills 1389, in righteousness 6666.
4 May he vindicate 8199 the afflicted 6041 of the people 5971, Save 3467 the children 1121 of the needy 34 And crush 1792 the oppressor 6231.
5 ¶ Let them fear 3372 You while 5973 the sun 8121 {endures,} And as long 6440 as the moon 3394, throughout all 1755 generations 1755.
6 May he come 3381 down 3381 like rain 4306 upon the mown 1488 grass, Like showers 7241 that water 2222 the earth 776.
7 In his days 3117 may the righteous 6662 flourish 6524, And abundance 7230 of peace 7965 till 5704 the moon 3394 is no 1097 more 1097.
8 ¶ May he also rule 7287 from sea 3220 to sea 3220 And from the River 5104 to the ends 657 of the earth 776.
9 Let the nomads 6716 of the desert 6716 bow 3766 before 6440 him, And his enemies 340 lick 3897 the dust 6083.
10 Let the kings 4428 of Tarshish 8659 and of the islands 339 bring 7725 presents 7725; The kings 4428 of Sheba 7614 and Seba 5434 offer 7126 gifts 814.
11 And let all 3605 kings 4428 bow 7812 down 7812 before him, All 3605 nations 1471 serve 5647 him.
12 ¶ For he will deliver 5337 the needy 34 when he cries 7768 for help 7768, The afflicted 6041 also, and him who has 369 no 369 helper 5826.
13 He will have 2347 compassion 2347 on the poor 1800 and needy 34, And the lives 5315 of the needy 34 he will save 3467.
14 He will rescue 1350 their life 5315 from oppression 8496 and violence 2555, And their blood 1818 will be precious 3365 in his sight 5869;
15 So may he live 2421, and may the gold 2091 of Sheba 7614 be given 5414 to him; And let them pray 6419 for him continually 8548; Let them bless 1288 him all 3605 day 3117 long.
16 ¶ May there be abundance 6451 of grain 1250 in the earth 776 on top 7218 of the mountains 2022; Its fruit 6529 will wave 7493 like {the cedars of} Lebanon 3844; And may those from the city 5892 flourish 6692 like vegetation 6212 of the earth 776.
17 May his name 8034 endure 1961 forever 5769; May his name 8034 increase 5125 as long 6440 as the sun 8121 {shines;} And let {men} bless 1288 themselves by him; Let all 3605 nations 1471 call 833 him blessed 833.
18 ¶ Blessed 1288 be the LORD 3068 God 430, the God 430 of Israel 3478, Who alone 905 works 6213 wonders 6381.
19 And blessed 1288 be His glorious 3519 name 8034 forever 5769; And may the whole 3605 earth 776 be filled 4390 with His glory 3519. Amen 543, and Amen 543.

BOOK 3

PSALM 73

The End of the Wicked Contrasted with That of the Righteous.

Surely 389 God 430 is good 2896 to Israel 3478, To those who 1249 are pure 1249 in heart 3824!
2 But as for me, my feet 7272 came 5186 close 4592 to stumbling 5186, My steps 804 had almost 369 slipped 8210.
3 For I was envious 7065 of the arrogant 1984 {As} I saw 7200 the prosperity 7965 of the wicked 7563.
4 For there 369 are no 369 pains 2784 in their death 4194, And their body 193 is fat 1277.
5 They are not in trouble 5999 {as other} men 582, Nor 3808 are they plagued 5060 like 5973 mankind 120.
6 Therefore 3651 pride 1346 is their necklace 6059; The garment 7897 of violence 2555 covers 5848 them.
7 Their eye 5869 bulges 3318 from fatness 2459; The imaginations 4906 of {their} heart 3824 run 5674 riot 5674.
8 They mock 4167 and wickedly 7451 speak 1696 of oppression 6233; They speak 1696 from on high 4791.
9 They have set 7896 their mouth 6310 against the heavens 8064, And their tongue 3956 parades 1980 through the earth 776.
10 ¶ Therefore 3651 his people 5971 return 7725 to this 1988 place 1988, And waters 4325 of abundance 4392 are drunk 4680 by them.
11 They say 559, "How 351 does God 410 know 3045? And is there 3426 knowledge 1844 with the Most 5945 High 5945?"
12 Behold 2009, these 428 are the wicked 7563; And always 5769 at ease 7961, they have increased 7685 {in} wealth 2428.
13 Surely 389 in vain 7385 I have kept 2135 my heart 3824 pure 2135 And washed 7364 my hands 3709 in innocence 5356;
14 For I have been stricken 5060 all 3605 day 3117 long And chastened 8433 every morning 1242.
15 ¶ If 518 I had said 559, "I will speak 5608 thus 3644," Behold 2009, I would have betrayed 898 the generation 1755 of Your children 1121.
16 When I pondered 2803 to understand 3045 this 384, It was troublesome 5999 in my sight 5869
17 Until 5704 I came 935 into the sanctuary 4720 of God 410; {Then} I perceived 995 their end 319.
18 Surely 389 You set 7896 them in slippery 2513 places 2513; You cast 5307 them down 5307 to destruction 4376.
19 How 349 they are destroyed 8047 in a moment 7281! They are utterly 8552 swept 5486 away 5486 by sudden 1091 terrors 1091!
20 Like a dream 2472 when 4480 one awakes 7019, O Lord 136, when aroused 5782, You will despise 959 their form 6754.
21 ¶ When 3588 my heart 3824 was embittered 2556 And I was pierced 8150 within 3629,
22 Then I was senseless 1198 and ignorant; I was {like} a beast 929 before 5973 You.
23 Nevertheless I am continually 8548 with You; You have taken 270 hold 270 of my right 3225 hand 3027.
24 With Your counsel 6098 You will guide 5148 me, And afterward 310 receive 3947 me to glory 3519.
25 ¶ Whom 4310 have I in heaven 8064 {but You?} And besides 5973 You, I desire 2654 nothing 3808 on earth 776.
26 My flesh 7607 and my heart 3824 may fail 3615, But God 430 is the strength 6697 of my heart 3824 and my portion 2506 forever 5769.
27 For, behold 2009, those who are far 7369 from You will perish 6; You have destroyed 6789 all 3605 those who are unfaithful 2181 to You.
28 But as for me, the nearness 7132 of God 430 is my good 2896; I have made 7896 the Lord 136 GOD 3068 my refuge 4268, That I may tell 5608 of all 3605 Your works 4399.

PSALM 74

An Appeal against the Devastation of the Land by the Enemy.

O God 430, why 4100 have You rejected 2186 {us} forever 5331? Why does Your anger 639 smoke 6225 against the sheep 6629 of Your pasture 4830?
2 Remember 2142 Your congregation 5712, which You have purchased 7069 of old 6924, Which You have redeemed 1350 to be the tribe 7626 of Your inheritance 5159; {And} this 2088 Mount 2022 Zion 6726, where 2088 You have dwelt 7931.
3 Turn 7311 Your footsteps 6471 toward the perpetual 5331 ruins 4876; The enemy 340 has damaged 7489 everything 3605 within the sanctuary 6944.
4 Your adversaries 6887 have roared 7580 in the midst 7130 of Your meeting 4150 place 4150; They have set 7760 up their own standards 226 for signs 226.
5 It seems 3045 as if one had lifted 935 up {His} axe 7134 in a forest 5441 of trees 6086.
6 And now 6258 all 3162 its carved 6603 work 6603 They smash 1986 with hatchet 3781 and hammers 3597.
7 They have burned Your sanctuary 4720 to the ground 776; They have defiled 2490 the dwelling 4908 place 4908 of Your name 8034.
8 They said 559 in their heart 3820, "Let us completely 3162 subdue 3238 them." They have burned 8313 all 3605 the meeting 4150 places 4150 of God 410 in the land 776.
9 We do not see 7200 our signs 226; There 369 is no 369 longer 5750 any prophet 5030, Nor 3808 is there any among 854 us who knows 3045 how 4100 long 5704.
10 How 4970 long, O God 430, will the adversary 6862 revile 2778, {And} the enemy 340 spurn 5006 Your name 8034 forever 5331?
11 Why 4100 do You withdraw 7725 Your hand 3027, even Your right 3225 hand 3225? From within 7130 Your bosom 2436, destroy 3615 {them!}
12 ¶ Yet God 430 is my king 4428 from of old 6924, Who works 6466 deeds 3444 of deliverance 3444 in the midst 7130 of the earth 776.
13 You divided 6565 the sea 3220 by Your strength 5797; You broke 7665 the heads 7218 of the sea 8577 monsters 8577 in the waters 4325.
14 You crushed 7533 the heads 7218 of Leviathan 3882; You gave 5414 him as food 3978 for the creatures 5971 of the wilderness 6716.
15 You broke 1234 open 1234 springs 4599 and torrents 5158; You dried 3001 up ever-flowing 386 streams 5104.
16 Yours is the day 3117, Yours also 637 is the night 3915; You have prepared 3559 the light 3974 and the sun 8121.
17 You have established 5324 all 3605 the boundaries 1367 of the earth 776; You have made 3335 summer 7019 and winter 2779.
18 ¶ Remember 2142 this 384, O LORD 3068, that the enemy 340 has reviled 2778, And a foolish 5036 people 5971 has spurned 5006 Your name 8034.
19 Do not deliver 5414 the soul 5315 of Your turtledove 8449 to the wild 2421 beast 2421; Do not forget 7911 the life 2421 of Your afflicted 6041 forever 5331.
20 Consider 5027 the covenant 1285; For the dark 4285 places 4285 of the land 776 are full 4390 of the habitations 4999 of violence 2555.
21 Let not the oppressed 1790 return 7725 dishonored 3637; Let the afflicted 6041 and needy 34 praise 1984 Your name 8034.
22 ¶ Arise 6965, O God 430, {and} plead 7378 Your own cause 7379; Remember 2142 how the foolish 5036 man 5036 reproaches 2781 You all 3605 day 3117 long.
23 Do not forget 7911 the voice 6963 of Your adversaries 6887, The uproar 7588 of those who rise 6965 against You which ascends 5927 continually 8548.

PSALM 75

God Abases the Proud, but Exalts the Righteous.

We give 3034 thanks 3034 to You, O God 430, we give 3034 thanks 3034, For Your name 8034 is near 7138; Men declare 5608 Your wondrous 6381 works 6381.
2 "When 3588 I select 3947 an appointed 4150 time 4150, It is I who judge 8199 with equity 4339.
3 "The earth 776 and all 3605 who dwell 3427 in it melt 4127; It is I who have firmly 8505 set 8505 its pillars 5982. Selah 5542.
4 "I said 559 to the boastful 1984, 'Do not boast 1984,' And to the wicked 7563, 'Do not lift 7311 up the horn 7161;
5 Do not lift 7311 up your horn 7161 on high 4791, Do not speak 1696 with insolent 6277 pride 6677.'"
6 ¶ For not from the east 4161, nor 3808 from the west 4628, Nor 3808 from the desert 4057 {comes} exaltation 7311;
7 But God 430 is the Judge 8199; He puts 8213 down 8213 one 2088 and exalts 7311 another 2088.
8 For a cup 3563 is in the hand 3027 of the LORD 3068, and the wine 3196 foams 2560; It is well 4392 mixed 4538, and He pours 5064 out of this 2088; Surely 389 all 3605 the wicked 7563 of the earth 776 must drain 4680 {and} drink 8354 down 8354 its dregs 8105.
9 ¶ But as for me, I will declare 5046 {it} forever 5769; I will sing 2167 praises 2167 to the God 430 of Jacob 3290.
10 And all 3605 the horns 7161 of the wicked 7563 He will cut 1438 off 1438, {But} the horns 7161 of the righteous 6662 will be lifted 7311 up.

PSALM 76

The Victorious Power of the God of Jacob.

God 430 is known 3045 in Judah 3063; His name 8034 is great 1419 in Israel 3478.
2 His tabernacle 5520 is in Salem 8004; His dwelling 4585 place 4585 also is in Zion 6726.
3 There 8033 He broke 7665 the flaming 7565 arrows 7198, The shield 4043 and the sword 2719 and the weapons 4421 of war 4421. Selah 5542.
4 ¶ You are resplendent 215, More 4480 majestic 117 than 4480 the mountains 2022 of prey 2964.
5 The stouthearted were plundered 7997, They sank 5123 into sleep 8142; And none of the warriors 2428 could use 4672 his hands 3027.
6 At Your rebuke 1606, O God 430 of Jacob 3290, Both rider 7393 and horse 5483 were cast 7290 into a dead 7290 sleep 7290.
7 You, even You, are to be feared 3372; And who 4310 may stand 5975 in Your presence 6440 when 4480 once 3975 You are angry 639?
8 ¶ You caused judgment 1779 to be heard 8085 from heaven 8064; The earth 776 feared 3372 and was still 8252
9 When God 430 arose 6965 to judgment 4941, To save 3467 all 3605 the humble 6035 of the earth 776. Selah 5542.
10 For the wrath 2534 of man 120 shall praise 3034 You; With a remnant 7611 of wrath 2534 You will gird 2296 Yourself.
11 ¶ Make 5087 vows 5087 to the LORD 3068 your God 430 and fulfill 7999 {them;} Let all 3605 who are around 5439 Him bring 2986 gifts 7862 to Him who 4172 is to be feared 4172.
12 He will cut 1219 off 1219 the spirit 7307 of princes 5057; He is feared 3372 by the kings 4428 of the earth 776.

PSALM 77

Comfort in Trouble from Recalling God's Mighty Deeds.

My voice 6963 {rises} to God 430, and I will cry 6817 aloud 6817; My voice 6963 {rises} to God 430, and He will hear 238 me.
2 In the day 3117 of my trouble 6869 I sought 1875 the Lord 136; In the night 3915 my hand 3027 was stretched 5064 out without 3808 weariness 6313; My soul 5315 refused 3985 to be comforted 5162.
3 {When} I remember 2142 God 430, then I am disturbed 1993; {When} I sigh 7878, then my spirit 7307 grows 5848 faint 5848. Selah 5542.
4 You have held 270 my eyelids {open;} I am so troubled 6470 that I cannot 3808 speak 1696.
5 I have considered 2803 the days 3117 of old 6924, The years 8141 of long 5769 ago 5769.
6 I will remember 2142 my song 5058 in the night 3915; I will meditate 7878 with my heart 3824, And my spirit 7307 ponders 2664:
7 ¶ Will the Lord 136 reject 2186 forever 5769? And will He never 3808 be favorable 7521 again 3254?
8 Has His lovingkindness 2617 ceased 656 forever 5331? Has {His} promise 561 come 1584 to an end 1584 forever 1755?
9 Has God 410 forgotten 7911 to be gracious 2603, Or 518 has He in anger 639 withdrawn 7092 His compassion 7356? Selah 5542.
10 Then I said 559, "It is my grief 2470, That the right 3225 hand 3225 of the Most 5945 High 5945 has changed 8132."
11 ¶ I shall remember 2142 the deeds 4611 of the LORD 3050; Surely 3588 I will remember 2142 Your wonders 6382 of old 6924.
12 I will meditate 1897 on all 3605 Your work 6467 And muse 7878 on Your deeds 5949.
13 Your way 1870, O God 430, is holy 6944; What 4310 god 410 is great 1419 like our God 430?
14 You are the God 410 who works 6213 wonders 6382; You have made 3045 known 3045 Your strength 5797 among the peoples 5971.
15 You have by Your power 2220 redeemed 1350 Your people 5971, The sons 1121 of Jacob 3290 and Joseph 3130. Selah 5542.
16 ¶ The waters 4325 saw 7200 You, O God 430; The waters 4325 saw 7200 You, they were in anguish 2342; The deeps 8415 also 637 trembled 7264.
17 The clouds 5645 poured 2229 out water 4325; The skies 7834 gave 5414 forth a sound 6963; Your arrows 2671 flashed 1980 here and there.
18 The sound 6963 of Your thunder 7482 was in the whirlwind 1534; The lightnings 1300 lit 215 up the world 8398; The earth 776 trembled 7264 and shook 7493.
19 Your way 1870 was in the sea 3220 And Your paths 7635 in the mighty 7227 waters 4325, And Your footprints 6119 may not be known 3045.
20 You led 5148 Your people 5971 like a flock 6629 By the hand 3027 of Moses 4872 and Aaron 175.

PSALM 78

God's Guidance of His People in Spite of Their Unfaithfulness.

Listen 238, O my people 5971, to my instruction 8451; Incline 5186 your ears 241 to the words 561 of my mouth 6310.
2 I will open 6605 my mouth 6310 in a parable 4912; I will utter 5042 dark 2420 sayings 2420 of old 6924,
3 Which 834 we have heard 8085 and known 3045, And our fathers 1 have told 5608 us.
4 We will not conceal 3582 them from their children 1121, But tell 5608 to the generation 1755 to come 314 the praises 8416 of the LORD 3068, And His strength 5807 and His wondrous 6381 works 6381 that He has done 6213.
5 ¶ For He established 6965 a testimony 5715 in Jacob 3290 And appointed 7760 a law 8451 in Israel 3478, Which 834 He commanded 6680 our fathers 1 That they should teach 3045 them to their children 1121,
6 That the generation 1755 to come 314 might know 3045, {even} the children 1121 {yet} to be born 3205, {That} they may arise 6965 and tell 5608 {them} to their children 1121,
7 That they should put 7760 their confidence 3689 in God 430 And not forget 7911 the works 4611 of God 410, But keep 5341 His commandments 4687,
8 And not be like their fathers 1, A stubborn 5637 and rebellious 4784 generation 1755, A generation 1755 that did not prepare 3559 its heart 3820 And whose spirit 7307 was not faithful 539 to God 410.
9 ¶ The sons 1121 of Ephraim 669 were archers 7411 equipped 5401 with bows 7198, {Yet} they turned 2015 back 2015 in the day 3117 of battle 7128.
10 They did not keep 8104 the covenant 1285 of God 430 And refused 3985 to walk 1980 in His law 8451;
11 They forgot 7911 His deeds 5949 And His miracles 6381 that He had shown 7200 them.
12 He wrought 6213 wonders 6382 before 5048 their fathers 1 In the land 776 of Egypt 4714, in the field 7704 of Zoan 6814.
13 He divided 1234 the sea 3220 and caused them to pass 5674 through 5674, And He made the waters 4325 stand 5324 up like 3644 a heap 5067.
14 Then He led 5148 them with the cloud 6051 by day 3119 And all 3605 the night 3915 with a light 216 of fire 784.
15 He split 1234 the rocks 6697 in the wilderness 4057 And gave 8248 {them} abundant 7227 drink 8248 like the ocean 8415 depths 8415.
16 He brought 3318 forth 3318 streams 5140 also from the rock 5553 And caused waters 4325 to run 3381 down 3381 like rivers 5104.
17 ¶ Yet they still 5750 continued 3254 to sin 2398 against Him, To rebel 4784 against the Most 5945 High 5945 in the desert 6723.
18 And in their heart 3824 they put 5254 God 410 to the test 5254 By asking 7592 food 3978 according to their desire 5315.
19 Then they spoke 1696 against God 430; They said 559, "Can 3201 God 410 prepare 6186 a table 7979 in the wilderness 4057?
20 "Behold 2005, He struck 5221 the rock 6697 so that waters 4325 gushed 2100 out, And streams 5158 were overflowing 7857; Can 3201 He give 5414 bread 3899 also 1571? Will He provide 3559 meat 7607 for His people 5971?"
21 ¶ Therefore 3651 the LORD 3068 heard 8085 and was full 5674 of wrath 5674; And a fire 784 was kindled 8026 against Jacob 3290 And anger 639 also 1571 mounted 5927 against Israel 3478,
22 Because 3588 they did not believe 539 in God 430 And did not trust 982 in His salvation 3444.
23 Yet He commanded 6680 the clouds 7834 above And opened 6605 the doors 1817 of heaven 8064;
24 He rained 4305 down 4305 manna 4478 upon them to eat 398 And gave 5414 them food 1715 from heaven 8064.
25 Man 376 did eat 398 the bread 3899 of angels 47; He sent 7971 them food 6720 in abundance 7648.
26 He caused the east 6921 wind 6921 to blow 5265 in the heavens 8064 And by His power 5797 He directed 5090 the south 8486 wind 8486.
27 When He rained 4305 meat 7607 upon them like the dust 6083, Even winged 3671 fowl 5775 like the sand 2344 of the seas 3220,
28 Then He let {them} fall 5307 in the midst 7130 of their camp 4264, Round 5439 about 5439 their dwellings 4908.
29 So they ate 398 and were well 3966 filled 7646, And their desire 8378 He gave 935 to them.
30 Before they had satisfied 2114 their desire 8378, While 5750 their food 400 was in their mouths 6310,
31 The anger 639 of God 430 rose 5927 against them And killed 2026 some of their stoutest 4924 ones, And subdued 3766 the choice 970 men 977 of Israel 3478.
32 In spite of all 3605 this 384 they still 5750 sinned 2398 And did not believe 539 in His wonderful 6381 works 6381.
33 So He brought 3615 their days 3117 to an end 3615 in futility 1892 And their years 8141 in sudden 928 terror 928.
34 ¶ When 518 He killed 2026 them, then they sought 1875 Him, And returned 7725 and searched 7836 diligently 7836 for God 410;
35 And they remembered 2142 that God 430 was their rock 6697, And the Most 5945 High 5945 God 410 their Redeemer 1350.
36 But they deceived 6601 Him with their mouth 6310 And lied 3576 to Him with their tongue 3956.
37 For their heart 3820 was not steadfast 3559 toward 5973 Him, Nor 3808 were they faithful 539 in His covenant 1285.
38 But He, being compassionate 7349, forgave 3722 {their} iniquity 5771 and did not destroy 7843 {them;} And often 7235 He restrained 7725 His anger 639 And did not arouse 5782 all 3605 His wrath 2534.
39 Thus He remembered 2142 that they were but flesh 1320, A wind 7307 that passes 1980 and does not return 7725.
40 ¶ How 4100 often 4100 they rebelled 4784 against Him in the wilderness 4057 And grieved 6087 Him in the desert 3452!
41 Again 7725 and again they tempted 5254 God 410, And pained 8428 the Holy 6918 One 6918 of Israel 3478.
42 They did not remember 2142 His power 3027, The day 3117 when 834 He redeemed 6299 them from the adversary 6862,
43 When 834 He performed 7760 His signs 226 in Egypt 4714 And His marvels 4159 in the field 7704 of Zoan 6814,
44 And turned 2015 their rivers 2975 to blood 1818, And their streams 5140, they could not drink 8354.
45 He sent 7971 among them swarms 6157 of flies 6157 which devoured 398 them, And frogs 6854 which destroyed 7843 them.
46 He gave 5414 also their crops 2981 to the grasshopper 2625 And the product 3018 of their labor 3018 to the locust 697.
47 He destroyed 2026 their vines 1612 with hailstones 1259 And their sycamore 8256 trees 8256 with frost 2602.
48 He gave 5462 over 5462 their cattle 1165 also to the hailstones 1259 And their herds 4735 to bolts 7565 of lightning 7565.
49 He sent 7971 upon them His burning 2740 anger 639, Fury 5678 and indignation 2195 and trouble 6869, A band 4917 of destroying 7451 angels 4397.
50 He leveled 6424 a path 5410 for His anger 639; He did not spare 2820 their soul 5315 from death 4194, But gave 5462 over 5462 their life 2421 to the plague 1698,
51 And smote 5221 all 3605 the firstborn 1060 in Egypt 4714, The first 7225 {issue} of their virility 202 in the tents 168 of Ham 2526.
52 But He led 5265 forth 5265 His own people 5971 like sheep 6629 And guided 5090 them in the wilderness 4057 like a flock 5739;
53 He led 5148 them safely 983, so that they did not fear 6342; But the sea 3220 engulfed 3680 their enemies 340.
54 ¶ So He brought 935 them to His holy 6944 land 1366, To this 2088 hill 2022 country 2022 which His right 3225 hand 3225 had gained 7069.
55 He also drove 1644 out the nations 1471 before them And apportioned 5307 them for an inheritance 5159 by measurement 2256, And made the tribes 7626 of Israel 3478 dwell 7931 in their tents 168.
56 Yet they tempted 5254 and rebelled 4784 against 854 the Most 5945 High 5945 God 430 And did not keep 8104 His testimonies 5713,
57 But turned 5472 back 5472 and acted 898 treacherously 898 like their fathers 1; They turned 2015 aside 2015 like a treacherous 7423 bow 7198.
58 For they provoked 3707 Him with their high 1116 places 1116 And aroused His jealousy 7065 with their graven 6456 images 6456.
59 When God 430 heard 8085, He was filled 5674 with wrath 5674 And greatly 3966 abhorred 3988 Israel 3478;
60 So that He abandoned 5203 the dwelling 4908 place 4908 at Shiloh 7887, The tent 168 which He had pitched 7931 among men 120,
61 And gave 5414 up His strength 5797 to captivity 7628 And His glory 8597 into the hand 3027 of the adversary 6862.
62 He also delivered 5462 His people 5971 to the sword 2719, And was filled 5674 with wrath 5674 at His inheritance 5159.
63 Fire 784 devoured 398 His young 970 men 970, And His virgins 1330 had no 3808 wedding 1984 songs 1984.
64 His priests 3548 fell 5307 by the sword 2719, And His widows 490 could not weep 1058.
65 ¶ Then the Lord 136 awoke 3364 as {if from} sleep 3463, Like a warrior 1368 overcome 7320 by wine 3196.
66 He drove 5221 His adversaries 6862 backward 268; He put 5414 on them an everlasting 5769 reproach 2781.
67 He also rejected 3988 the tent 168 of Joseph 3130, And did not choose 977 the tribe 7626 of Ephraim 669,
68 But chose 977 the tribe 7626 of Judah 3063, Mount 2022 Zion 6726 which 834 He loved 157.
69 And He built 1129 His sanctuary 4720 like 3644 the heights 7311, Like the earth 776 which He has founded 3245 forever 5769.
70 He also chose 977 David 1732 His servant 5650 And took 3947 him from the sheepfolds;
71 From the care 310 of the ewes 5763 with suckling 5763 lambs 5763 He brought 935 him To shepherd 7462 Jacob 3290 His people 5971, And Israel 3478 His inheritance 5159.
72 So he shepherded 7462 them according to the integrity 8537 of his heart 3824, And guided 5148 them with his skillful 8394 hands 3709.

PSALM 79

A Lament over the Destruction of Jerusalem, and Prayer for Help.

O God 430, the nations 1471 have invaded 935 Your inheritance 5159; They have defiled 2930 Your holy 6944 temple 1964; They have laid 7760 Jerusalem 3389 in ruins 5856.
2 They have given 5414 the dead 5038 bodies 5038 of Your servants 5650 for food 3978 to the birds 5775 of the heavens 8064, The flesh 1320 of Your godly 2623 ones 2623 to the beasts 2421 of the earth 776.
3 They have poured 8210 out their blood 1818 like water 4325 round 5439 about 5439 Jerusalem 3389; And there 369 was no 369 one 369 to bury 6912 them.
4 We have 1961 become 1961 a reproach 2781 to our neighbors 7934, A scoffing 3933 and derision 7047 to those around 5439 us.
5 How 4100 long 5704, O LORD 3068? Will You be angry 599 forever 5331? Will Your jealousy 7068 burn 1197 like 3644 fire 784?
6 Pour 8210 out Your wrath 2534 upon the nations 1471 which 834 do not know 3045 You, And upon the kingdoms 4467 which 834 do not call 7121 upon Your name 8034.
7 For they have devoured 398 Jacob 3290 And laid 8074 waste 8074 his habitation 5116.
8 ¶ Do not remember 2142 the iniquities 5771 of {our} forefathers 7223 against us; Let Your compassion 7356 come 6923 quickly 4118 to meet 6923 us, For we are brought 1809 very 3966 low 1809.
9 Help 5826 us, O God 430 of our salvation 3468, for the glory 3519 of Your name 8034; And deliver 5337 us and forgive 3722 our sins 2403 for Your name's 8034 sake 4616.
10 Why 4100 should the nations 1471 say 559, "Where 346 is their God 430?" Let there be known 3045 among the nations 1471 in our sight 5869, Vengeance 5360 for the blood 1818 of Your servants 5650 which has been shed 8210.
11 Let the groaning 603 of the prisoner 615 come 935 before 6440 You; According to the greatness 1433 of Your power 2220 preserve 3498 those 1121 who 1121 are doomed 1121 to die 8546.
12 And return 7725 to our neighbors 7934 sevenfold 7659 into their bosom 2436 The reproach 2781 with which 834 they have reproached 2778 You, O Lord 136.
13 So we Your people 5971 and the sheep 6629 of Your pasture 4830 Will give 3034 thanks 3034 to You forever 5769; To all 1755 generations 1755 we will tell 5608 of Your praise 8416.

PSALM 80

God Implored to Rescue His People from Their Calamities.

Oh, give 238 ear 238, Shepherd 7462 of Israel 3478, You who lead 5090 Joseph 3130 like a flock 6629; You who are enthroned 3427 {above} the cherubim 3742, shine 3313 forth 3313!
2 Before 6440 Ephraim 669 and Benjamin 1144 and Manasseh 4519, stir 5782 up Your power 1369 And come 1980 to save 3444 us!
3 O God 430, restore 7725 us And cause Your face 6440 to shine 215 {upon us,} and we will be saved 3467.
4 ¶ O LORD 3068 God 430 {of} hosts 6635, How 4970 long will You be angry 6225 with the prayer 8605 of Your people 5971?
5 You have fed 398 them with the bread 3899 of tears 1832, And You have made 8248 them to drink 8248 tears 1832 in large 7991 measure 7991.
6 You make 7760 us an object 4066 of contention 4066 to our neighbors 7934, And our enemies 340 laugh 3932 among themselves.
7 O God 430 {of} hosts 6635, restore 7725 us And cause Your face 6440 to shine 215 {upon us,} and we will be saved 3467.
8 ¶ You removed 5265 a vine 1612 from Egypt 4714; You drove 1644 out the nations 1471 and planted 5193 it.
9 You cleared 6437 {the ground} before 6440 it, And it took 8327 deep 8328 root 8328 and filled 4390 the land 776.
10 The mountains 2022 were covered 3680 with its shadow 6738, And the cedars 730 of God 410 with its boughs 6057.
11 It was sending 7971 out its branches 7105 to the sea 3220 And its shoots 3127 to the River 5104.
12 Why 4100 have You broken 6555 down 6555 its hedges 1447, So that all 3605 who pass 5674 {that} way 1870 pick 717 its {fruit?}
13 A boar 2386 from the forest 3293 eats 3765 it away 3765 And whatever 2123 moves 2123 in the field 7706 feeds 7462 on it.
14 ¶ O God 430 {of} hosts 6635, turn 7725 again 7725 now 4994, we beseech 4994 You; Look 5027 down 5027 from heaven 8064 and see 7200, and take 6485 care 6485 of this 384 vine 1612,
15 Even the shoot 3657 which 834 Your right 3225 hand 3225 has planted 5193, And on the son 1121 whom You have strengthened 553 for Yourself.
16 It is burned 8313 with fire 784, it is cut 3683 down 3683; They perish 6 at the rebuke 1606 of Your countenance 6440.
17 Let Your hand 3027 be upon the man 376 of Your right 3225 hand 3225, Upon the son 1121 of man 120 whom You made 553 strong 553 for Yourself.
18 Then we shall not turn 5472 back 5472 from You; Revive 2421 us, and we will call 7121 upon Your name 8034.
19 O LORD 3068 God 430 of hosts 6635, restore 7725 us; Cause Your face 6440 to shine 215 {upon us,} and we will be saved 3467.

PSALM 81

God's Goodness and Israel's Waywardness.

Sing 7442 for joy 7442 to God 430 our strength 5797; Shout 7321 joyfully 7321 to the God 430 of Jacob 3290.
2 Raise 5375 a song 2172, strike 5414 the timbrel 8596, The sweet 5273 sounding 5273 lyre 3658 with the harp 5035.
3 Blow 8628 the trumpet 7782 at the new 2320 moon 2320, At the full 3677 moon 3677, on our feast 2282 day 3117.
4 For it is a statute 2706 for Israel 3478, An ordinance 4941 of the God 430 of Jacob 3290.
5 He established 7760 it for a testimony 5715 in Joseph 3130 When he went 3318 throughout 5921 the land 776 of Egypt 4714. I heard 8085 a language 8193 that I did not know 3045:
6 ¶ "I relieved 5493 his shoulder 7926 of the burden 5447, His hands 3709 were freed 5674 from the basket 1731.
7 "You called 7121 in trouble 6869 and I rescued 2502 you; I answered 6030 you in the hiding 5643 place 5643 of thunder 7482; I proved 974 you at the waters 4325 of Meribah 4809. Selah 5542.
8 "Hear 8085, O My people 5971, and I will admonish 5749 you; O Israel 3478, if 518 you would listen 8085 to Me!
9 "Let there be no 3808 strange 2114 god 410 among you; Nor 3808 shall you worship 7812 any foreign 5236 god 410.
10 "I, the LORD 3068, am your God 430, Who brought 5927 you up from the land 776 of Egypt 4714; Open 7337 your mouth 6310 wide 7337 and I will fill 4390 it.
11 ¶ "But My people 5971 did not listen 8085 to My voice 6963, And Israel 3478 did not obey 14 Me.
12 "So I gave 7971 them over 7971 to the stubbornness 8307 of their heart 3820, To walk 1980 in their own devices 4156.
13 "Oh 3863 that My people 5971 would listen 8085 to Me, That Israel 3478 would walk 1980 in My ways 1870!
14 "I would quickly 4592 subdue 3665 their enemies 340 And turn 7725 My hand 3027 against 5921 their adversaries 6862.
15 "Those who hate 8130 the LORD 3068 would pretend 3584 obedience 3584 to Him, And their time 6256 {of punishment} would be forever 5769.
16 "But I would feed 398 you with the finest 2459 of the wheat 2406, And with honey 1706 from the rock 6697 I would satisfy 7646 you."

Unjust Judgments Rebuked.

God 430 takes 5324 His stand 5324 in His own congregation 5712; He judges 8199 in the midst 7130 of the rulers 430.
2 How 4970 long will you judge 8199 unjustly 5766 And show 5375 partiality to the wicked 7563? Selah 5542.
3 Vindicate 8199 the weak 1800 and fatherless 3490; Do 6663 justice 6663 to the afflicted 6041 and destitute 7326.
4 Rescue 6403 the weak 1800 and needy 34; Deliver 5337 {them} out of the hand 3027 of the wicked 7563.
5 ¶ They do not know 3045 nor 3808 do they understand 995; They walk 1980 about in darkness 2825; All 3605 the foundations 4144 of the earth 776 are shaken 4131.
6 I said 559, "You are gods 430, And all 3605 of you are sons 1121 of the Most 5945 High 5945.
7 "Nevertheless 403 you will die 4191 like men 120 And fall 5307 like {any} one 259 of the princes 8269."

PSALM 83

God Implored to Confound His Enemies.

O God 430, do not remain quiet 1824; Do not be silent 2790 and, O God 410, do not be still 8252.
2 For behold 2009, Your enemies 340 make 1993 an uproar 1993, And those who hate 8130 You have exalted 5375 themselves 7218.
3 They make 6191 shrewd 6191 plans 5475 against 5921 Your people 5971, And conspire 3289 together against 5921 Your treasured 6845 ones.
4 They have said 559, "Come 1980, and let us wipe 3582 them out as a nation 1471, That the name 8034 of Israel 3478 be remembered 2142 no 3808 more 5750."
5 For they have conspired 3289 together 3164 with one mind 3820; Against 5921 You they make 3772 a covenant 1285:
6 The tents 168 of Edom 112 and the Ishmaelites 3459, Moab 4124 and the Hagrites 1905;
7 Gebal 1381 and Ammon 5983 and Amalek 6002, Philistia 6429 with the inhabitants 3427 of Tyre 6865;
8 Assyria 804 also 1571 has joined 3867 with them; They have 1961 become 1961 a help 2220 to the children 1121 of Lot 3876. Selah 5542.
9 ¶ Deal 6213 with them as with Midian 4080, As with Sisera 5516 {and} Jabin 2985 at the torrent 5158 of Kishon 7028,
10 Who were destroyed 8045 at En-dor 5874, Who became 1961 as dung 1828 for the ground 127.
11 Make 7896 their nobles 5081 like Oreb 6159 and Zeeb 2062 And all 3605 their princes 5257 like Zebah 2078 and Zalmunna 6759,
12 Who 834 said 559, "Let us possess 3423 for ourselves The pastures 4999 of God 430."
13 ¶ O my God 430, make 7896 them like the whirling 1534 dust 1534, Like chaff 7179 before 6440 the wind 7307.
14 Like fire 784 that burns 1197 the forest 3293 And like a flame 3852 that sets 3857 the mountains 2022 on fire 3857,
15 So 3651 pursue 7291 them with Your tempest 5591 And terrify 926 them with Your storm 5492.
16 Fill 4390 their faces 6440 with dishonor 7036, That they may seek 1245 Your name 8034, O LORD 3068.
17 Let them be ashamed 954 and dismayed 926 forever 5703, And let them be humiliated 2659 and perish 6,
18 That they may know 3045 that You alone 905, whose name 8034 is the LORD 3068, Are the Most 5945 High 5945 over 5921 all 3605 the earth 776.

Longing for the Temple Worship.

How 4100 lovely 3039 are Your dwelling 4908 places 4908, O LORD 3068 of hosts 6635!
2 My soul 5315 longed 3700 and even 1571 yearned 3615 for the courts 2691 of the LORD 3068; My heart 3820 and my flesh 1320 sing 7442 for joy 7442 to the living 2416 God 410.
3 The bird 6833 also 1571 has found 4672 a house 1004, And the swallow 1866 a nest 7064 for herself, where 834 she may lay 7896 her young 667, Even Your altars 4196, O LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, My King 4428 and my God 430.
4 How blessed 835 are those who dwell 3427 in Your house 1004! They are ever 5750 praising 1984 You. Selah 5542.
5 ¶ How blessed 835 is the man 120 whose strength 5797 is in You, In whose heart 3824 are the highways 4546 {to Zion!}
6 Passing 5674 through the valley 6010 of Baca 1056 they make 7896 it a spring 4599; The early 4175 rain 4175 also 1571 covers 5844 it with blessings 1293.
7 They go 1980 from strength 2428 to strength 2428, {Every one of them} appears 7200 before 413 God 430 in Zion 6726.
8 ¶ O LORD 3068 God 430 of hosts 6635, hear 8085 my prayer 8605; Give 238 ear 238, O God 430 of Jacob 3290! Selah 5542.
9 Behold 7200 our shield 4043, O God 430, And look 5027 upon the face 6440 of Your anointed 4899.
10 For a day 3117 in Your courts 2691 is better 2896 than 4480 a thousand 505 {outside.} I would rather stand 5605 at the threshold 5605 of the house 1004 of my God 430 Than 4480 dwell 1752 in the tents 168 of wickedness 7562.
11 For the LORD 3068 God 430 is a sun 8121 and shield 4043; The LORD 3068 gives 5414 grace 2580 and glory 3519; No 3808 good 2896 thing 2896 does He withhold 4513 from those who walk 1980 uprightly 8549.

Prayer for God's Mercy upon the Nation.

O LORD 3068, You showed 7521 favor 7521 to Your land 776; You restored 7521 the captivity 7622 of Jacob 3290.
2 You forgave 5375 the iniquity 5771 of Your people 5971; You covered 3680 all 3605 their sin 2403. Selah 5542.
3 You withdrew 622 all 3605 Your fury 5678; You turned 7725 away 7725 from Your burning 2740 anger 639.
4 ¶ Restore 7725 us, O God 430 of our salvation 3468, And cause Your indignation 3708 toward 5973 us to cease 6565.
5 Will You be angry 599 with us forever 5769? Will You prolong 4900 Your anger 639 to all 1755 generations 1755?
6 Will You not Yourself 859 revive 2421 us again 7725, That Your people 5971 may rejoice 8055 in You?
7 Show 7200 us Your lovingkindness 2617, O LORD 3068, And grant 5414 us Your salvation 3468.
8 ¶ I will hear 8085 what 4100 God 410 the LORD 3068 will say 1696; For He will speak 1696 peace 7965 to His people 5971, to His godly 2623 ones 2623; But let them not turn 7725 back 7725 to folly 3690.
9 Surely 389 His salvation 3468 is near 7138 to those who fear 3372 Him, That glory 3519 may dwell 7931 in our land 776.
10 Lovingkindness 2617 and truth 571 have met 6298 together; Righteousness 6664 and peace 7965 have kissed 5401 each other.
11 Truth 571 springs 6779 from the earth 776, And righteousness 6664 looks 8259 down 8259 from heaven 8064.
12 Indeed 1571, the LORD 3068 will give 5414 what 2896 is good 2896, And our land 776 will yield 5414 its produce 2981.
13 Righteousness 6664 will go 1980 before 6440 Him And will make 7760 His footsteps 6471 into a way 1870.

A Psalm of Supplication and Trust.

Incline 5186 Your ear 241, O LORD 3068, {and} answer 6030 me; For I am afflicted 6041 and needy 34.
2 Preserve 8104 my soul 5315, for I am a godly 2623 man 2623; O You my God 430, save 3467 Your servant 5650 who trusts 982 in You.
3 Be gracious 2603 to me, O Lord 136, For to You I cry 7121 all 3605 day 3117 long.
4 Make 8055 glad 8055 the soul 5315 of Your servant 5650, For to You, O Lord 136, I lift 5375 up my soul 5315.
5 For You, Lord 136, are good 2896, and ready 5546 to forgive 5546, And abundant 7227 in lovingkindness 2617 to all 3605 who call 7121 upon You.

7 In the day 3117 of my trouble 6869 I shall call 7121 upon You, For You will answer 6030 me.
8 There 369 is no 369 one 369 like 3644 You among the gods 430, O Lord 136, Nor 369 are there 369 any works 4639 like Yours.
9 All 3605 nations 1471 whom 834 You have made 6213 shall come 935 and worship 7812 before 6440 You, O Lord 136, And they shall glorify 3513 Your name 8034.
10 For You are great 1419 and do 6213 wondrous 6381 deeds 6381; You alone 905 are God 430.
11 ¶ Teach 3384 me Your way 1870, O LORD 3068; I will walk 1980 in Your truth 571; Unite 3161 my heart 3824 to fear 3372 Your name 8034.
12 I will give 3034 thanks 3034 to You, O Lord 136 my God 430, with all 3605 my heart 3824, And will glorify 3513 Your name 8034 forever 5769.
13 For Your lovingkindness 2617 toward 5921 me is great 1419, And You have delivered 5337 my soul 5315 from the depths 8482 of Sheol 7585.
14 ¶ O God 430, arrogant 2086 men 2086 have risen 6965 up against 5921 me, And a band 5712 of violent 6184 men 6184 have sought 1245 my life 5315, And they have not set 7760 You before 5048 them.
15 But You, O Lord 136, are a God 410 merciful 7349 and gracious 2587, Slow 750 to anger 639 and abundant 7227 in lovingkindness 2617 and truth 571.
16 Turn 6437 to me, and be gracious 2603 to me; Oh grant 5414 Your strength 5797 to Your servant 5650, And save 3467 the son 1121 of Your handmaid 519.
17 Show 6213 me a sign 226 for good 2899, That those who hate 8130 me may see 7200 {it} and be ashamed 954, Because 3588 You, O LORD 3068, have helped 5826 me and comforted 5162 me.

PSALM 87

The Privileges of Citizenship in Zion.

His foundation 3248 is in the holy 6944 mountains 2022.
2 The LORD 3068 loves 157 the gates 8179 of Zion 6726 More 4480 than 4480 all 3605 the {other} dwelling 4908 places 4908 of Jacob 3290.
3 Glorious 3513 things 3513 are spoken 1696 of you, O city 5892 of God 430. Selah 5542.
4 "I shall mention 2142 Rahab 7294 and Babylon 894 among those who know 3045 Me; Behold 2009, Philistia 6429 and Tyre 6865 with Ethiopia 3568: 'This 2088 one 2088 was born 3205 there 8033.'"
5 But of Zion 6726 it shall be said 559, "This 376 one 376 and that one 376 were born 3205 in her"; And the Most 5945 High 5945 Himself 1931 will establish 3559 her.
6 The LORD 3068 will count 5608 when He registers 3789 the peoples 5971, "This 2088 one 2088 was born 3205 there 8033." Selah 5542.
7 Then those who sing 7891 as well as those who play 2490 the flutes 2490 {shall say,} "All 3605 my springs 4599 {of joy} are in you."

PSALM 88

A Petition to Be Saved from Death.

O LORD 3068, the God 430 of my salvation 3444, I have cried 6817 out by day 3117 and in the night 3915 before 5048 You.
2 Let my prayer 8605 come 935 before 6440 You; Incline 5186 Your ear 241 to my cry 7440!
3 For my soul 5315 has had 7646 enough 7646 troubles 7463, And my life 2425 has drawn 5060 near 5060 to Sheol 7585.
4 I am reckoned 2803 among 5973 those who go 3381 down 3381 to the pit 953; I have 1961 become 1961 like a man 1397 without 369 strength 353,
5 Forsaken 2670 among the dead 4191, Like 3644 the slain 2491 who lie 7901 in the grave 6913, Whom 834 You remember 2142 no 3808 more 5750, And they are cut 1504 off 1504 from Your hand 3027.
6 You have put 7896 me in the lowest 8482 pit 953, In dark 4285 places 4285, in the depths 4688.
7 Your wrath 2534 has rested 5564 upon me, And You have afflicted 6031 me with all 3605 Your waves 4867. Selah 5542.
8 You have removed 7368 my acquaintances 3045 far 7368 from me; You have made 7896 me an object 8441 of loathing 8441 to them; I am shut 3607 up and cannot 3808 go 3318 out.
9 My eye 5869 has wasted 1669 away 1669 because 4480 of affliction 6040; I have called 7121 upon You every 3605 day 3117, O LORD 3068; I have spread 7849 out my hands 3709 to You.
10 ¶ Will You perform 6213 wonders 6382 for the dead 4191? Will the departed 7496 spirits 7496 rise 6965 {and} praise 3034 You? Selah 5542.
11 Will Your lovingkindness 2617 be declared 5608 in the grave 6913, Your faithfulness 530 in Abaddon 11?
12 Will Your wonders 6382 be made 3045 known 3045 in the darkness 2822? And Your righteousness 6666 in the land 776 of forgetfulness 5388?
13 ¶ But I, O LORD 3068, have cried 7768 out to You for help 7768, And in the morning 1242 my prayer 8605 comes 6923 before 6923 You.
14 O LORD 3068, why 4100 do You reject 2186 my soul 5315? {Why} do You hide 5641 Your face 6440 from me?
15 I was afflicted 6041 and about to die 1478 from my youth 5290 on; I suffer 5375 Your terrors 367; I am overcome 647.
16 Your burning 2740 anger 2740 has passed 5674 over 5921 me; Your terrors 1161 have destroyed 6789 me.
17 They have surrounded 5437 me like water 4325 all 3605 day 3117 long; They have encompassed 5362 me altogether 3162.
18 You have removed 7368 lover 157 and friend 7453 far 7368 from me; My acquaintances 3045 are {in} darkness 4285.

PSALM 89

The L\{ORD}/'\{S}/ Covenant with David, and Israel's Afflictions.

I will sing 7891 of the lovingkindness 2617 of the LORD 3068 forever 5769; To all 1755 generations 1755 I will make 3045 known 3045 Your faithfulness 530 with my mouth 6310.
2 For I have said 559, "Lovingkindness 2617 will be built 1129 up forever 5769; In the heavens 8064 You will establish 3559 Your faithfulness 530."
3 "I have made 3772 a covenant 1285 with My chosen 972; I have sworn 7650 to David 1732 My servant 5650,
4 I will establish 3559 your seed 2233 forever And build 1129 up your throne 3678 to all 1755 generations 1755." Selah 5542.
5 ¶ The heavens 8064 will praise 3034 Your wonders 6382, O LORD 3068; Your faithfulness 530 also 637 in the assembly 6951 of the holy 6918 ones 6918.
6 For who 4310 in the skies 7834 is comparable 6186 to the LORD 3068? Who among the sons 1121 of the mighty 410 is like 1819 the LORD 3068,
7 A God 410 greatly 7227 feared 6206 in the council 5475 of the holy 6918 ones 6918, And awesome 3372 above 5921 all 3605 those who are around 5439 Him?
8 O LORD 3068 God 430 of hosts 6635, who 4310 is like 3644 You, O mighty 2626 LORD 3050? Your faithfulness 530 also surrounds 5439 You.
9 You rule 4910 the swelling 1348 of the sea 3220; When its waves 1530 rise 5375, You still 7623 them.
10 You Yourself 859 crushed 1792 Rahab 7293 like one who is slain 2491; You scattered 6340 Your enemies 340 with Your mighty 5797 arm 2220.
11 ¶ The heavens 8064 are Yours, the earth 776 also 637 is Yours; The world 8398 and all 4393 it contains 4393, You have founded 3245 them.
12 The north 6828 and the south 3225, You have created 1254 them; Tabor 8396 and Hermon 2768 shout 7442 for joy 7442 at Your name 8034.
13 You have a strong 1369 arm 2220; Your hand 3027 is mighty 5810, Your right 3225 hand 3225 is exalted 7311.
14 Righteousness 6664 and justice 4941 are the foundation 4349 of Your throne 3678; Lovingkindness 2617 and truth 571 go 6923 before 6440 You.
15 How blessed 835 are the people 5971 who know 3045 the joyful 8643 sound 8643! O LORD 3068, they walk 1980 in the light 216 of Your countenance 6440.
16 In Your name 8034 they rejoice 1523 all 3605 the day 3117, And by Your righteousness 6666 they are exalted 7311.
17 For You are the glory 8597 of their strength 5797, And by Your favor 7522 our horn 7161 is exalted 7311.
18 For our shield 4043 belongs to the LORD 3068, And our king 4428 to the Holy 6918 One 6918 of Israel 3478.
19 ¶ Once 227 You spoke 1696 in vision 2377 to Your godly 2623 ones 2623, And said 559, "I have given 7737 help 5828 to one who 1368 is mighty 1368; I have exalted 7311 one chosen 977 from the people 5971.
20 "I have found 4672 David 1732 My servant 5650; With My holy 6944 oil 8081 I have anointed 4886 him,
21 With whom 834 My hand 3027 will be established 3559; My arm 2220 also 637 will strengthen 553 him.
22 "The enemy 340 will not deceive 5377 him, Nor 3808 the son 1121 of wickedness 5767 afflict 6031 him.
23 "But I shall crush 3807 his adversaries 6862 before him, And strike 5062 those who hate 8130 him.
24 "My faithfulness 530 and My lovingkindness 2617 will be with him, And in My name 8034 his horn 7161 will be exalted 7311.
25 "I shall also set 7760 his hand 3027 on the sea 3220 And his right 3225 hand 3225 on the rivers 5104.
26 "He will cry 7121 to Me, 'You are my Father 1, My God 410, and the rock 6697 of my salvation 3444.'
27 "I also 637 shall make 5414 him {My} firstborn 1060, The highest 5945 of the kings 4428 of the earth 776.
28 "My lovingkindness 2617 I will keep 8104 for him forever 5769, And My covenant 1285 shall be confirmed 539 to him.
29 "So I will establish 7760 his descendants 2233 forever 5703 And his throne 3678 as the days 3117 of heaven 8064.
30 ¶ "If 518 his sons 1121 forsake 5800 My law 8451 And do not walk 1980 in My judgments 4941,
31 If 518 they violate 2490 My statutes 2708 And do not keep 8104 My commandments 4687,
32 Then I will punish 6485 their transgression 6588 with the rod 7626 And their iniquity 5771 with stripes 5061.
33 "But I will not break 6565 off My lovingkindness 2617 from him, Nor 3808 deal 8266 falsely 8266 in My faithfulness 530.
34 "My covenant 1285 I will not violate 2490, Nor 3808 will I alter 8132 the utterance 4161 of My lips 8193.
35 "Once 259 I have sworn 7650 by My holiness 6944; I will not lie 3576 to David 1732.
36 "His descendants 2233 shall endure 1961 forever 5769 And his throne 3678 as the sun 8121 before 5048 Me.
37 "It shall be established 3559 forever 5769 like the moon 3394, And the witness 5707 in the sky 7834 is faithful 539." Selah 5542.
38 ¶ But You have cast 2186 off 2186 and rejected 3988, You have been 5674 full 5674 of wrath 5674 against 5973 Your anointed 4899.
39 You have spurned 5010 the covenant 1285 of Your servant 5650; You have profaned 2490 his crown 5145 in the dust 776.
40 You have broken 6555 down 6555 all 3605 his walls 1448; You have brought 7760 his strongholds 4013 to ruin 4288.
41 All 3605 who pass 5674 along 5674 the way 1870 plunder 8155 him; He has 1961 become 1961 a reproach 2781 to his neighbors 7934.
42 You have exalted 7311 the right 3225 hand 3225 of his adversaries 6862; You have made all 3605 his enemies 340 rejoice 8055.
43 You also 637 turn 7725 back 7725 the edge 6864 of his sword 2719 And have not made him stand 6965 in battle 4421.
44 You have made his splendor 2892 to cease 7673 And cast 4048 his throne 3678 to the ground 776.
45 You have shortened 7114 the days 3117 of his youth 5934; You have covered 5844 him with shame 955. Selah 5542.
46 ¶ How 4100 long 5704, O LORD 3068? Will You hide 5641 Yourself forever 5331? Will Your wrath 2534 burn 1197 like 3644 fire 784?
47 Remember 2142 what 4100 my span 2465 of life 2465 is; For what 4100 vanity 7723 You have created 1254 all 3605 the sons 1121 of men 120!
48 What 4310 man 1397 can live 2421 and not see 7200 death 4194? Can he deliver 4422 his soul 5315 from the power 3027 of Sheol 7585? Selah 5542.
49 ¶ Where 346 are Your former 7223 lovingkindnesses 2617, O Lord 136, Which You swore 7650 to David 1732 in Your faithfulness 530?
50 Remember 2142, O Lord 136, the reproach 2781 of Your servants 5650; How I bear 5375 in my bosom 2436 {the reproach of} all 3605 the many 7227 peoples 5971,
51 With which 834 Your enemies 340 have reproached 2778, O LORD 3068, With which 834 they have reproached 2778 the footsteps 6119 of Your anointed 4899.
52 ¶ Blessed 1288 be the LORD 3068 forever 5769! Amen 543 and Amen 543.

PSALM 90

God's Eternity and Man's Transitoriness.

Lord 136, You have been 1961 our dwelling 4583 place 4583 in all 1755 generations 1755.
2 Before 2962 the mountains 2022 were born 3205 Or You gave 2342 birth 2342 to the earth 776 and the world 8398, Even from everlasting 5769 to everlasting 5769, You are God 410.
3 ¶ You turn 7725 man 582 back 7725 into dust 1793 And say 559, "Return 7725, O children 1121 of men 120."
4 For a thousand 505 years 8141 in Your sight 5869 Are like yesterday when 3588 it passes 5674 by, Or {as} a watch 821 in the night 3915.
5 You have swept 2229 them away 2229 like 2229 a flood 2229, they fall 1961 asleep 8142; In the morning 1242 they are like grass 2682 which sprouts 2498 anew 2498.
6 In the morning 1242 it flourishes 6692 and sprouts 2498 anew 2498; Toward evening 6153 it fades 4448 and withers 3001 away.
7 ¶ For we have been 3615 consumed 3615 by Your anger 639 And by Your wrath 2534 we have been dismayed 926.
8 You have placed 7896 our iniquities 5771 before 5048 You, Our secret 5956 {sins} in the light 3974 of Your presence 6440.
9 For all 3605 our days 3117 have declined 6437 in Your fury 5678; We have finished 3615 our years 8141 like 3644 a sigh 1899.
10 As for the days 3117 of our life 8141, they contain seventy 7657 years 8141, Or if 518 due to strength 1369, eighty 8084 years 8141, Yet their pride 7296 is {but} labor 5999 and sorrow 205; For soon 2440 it is gone 1468 and we fly 5774 away 5774.
11 Who 4310 understands 3045 the power 5797 of Your anger 639 And Your fury 5678, according to the fear 3374 that is due You?
12 So 3651 teach 3045 us to number 4487 our days 3117, That we may present 935 to You a heart 3824 of wisdom 2451.
13 ¶ Do return 7725, O LORD 3068; how 4970 long {will it be?} And be sorry 5162 for Your servants 5650.
14 O satisfy 7646 us in the morning 1242 with Your lovingkindness 2617, That we may sing 7442 for joy 7442 and be glad 8055 all 3605 our days 3117.
15 Make 8055 us glad 8055 according to the days 3117 You have afflicted 6031 us, {And} the years 8141 we have seen 7200 evil 7463.
16 Let Your work 6467 appear 7200 to Your servants 5650 And Your majesty 1926 to their children 1121.
17 Let the favor 5278 of the Lord 136 our God 430 be upon us; And confirm 3559 for us the work 4639 of our hands 3027; Yes, confirm 3559 the work 4639 of our hands 3027.

Security of the One Who Trusts in the L\{ORD}/.

He who dwells 3427 in the shelter 5643 of the Most 5945 High 5945 Will abide 3885 in the shadow 6738 of the Almighty 7706.
2 I will say 559 to the LORD 3068, "My refuge 4268 and my fortress 4686, My God 430, in whom I trust 982!"
3 For it is He who delivers 5337 you from the snare 6341 of the trapper 3353 And from the deadly 1942 pestilence 1698.
4 He will cover 5526 you with His pinions 84, And under 8478 His wings 3671 you may seek 2620 refuge 2620; His faithfulness 571 is a shield 6793 and bulwark 5507.
5 ¶ You will not be afraid 3372 of the terror 6343 by night 3915, Or of the arrow 2671 that flies 5774 by day 3119;
6 Of the pestilence 1698 that stalks 1980 in darkness 652, Or of the destruction 6986 that lays 7703 waste 7703 at noon 6672.
7 A thousand 505 may fall 5307 at your side 6654 And ten 7233 thousand 7233 at your right 3225 hand 3225, {But} it shall not approach 5066 you.
8 You will only 7534 look 5027 on with your eyes 5869 And see 7200 the recompense 8011 of the wicked 7563.
9 For you have made 7760 the LORD 3068, my refuge 4268, {Even} the Most 5945 High 5945, your dwelling 4583 place 4583.
10 No 3808 evil 7463 will befall 579 you, Nor 3808 will any plague 5061 come 7126 near 7126 your tent 168.
11 ¶ For He will give 6680 His angels 4397 charge 6680 concerning you, To guard 8104 you in all 3605 your ways 1870.
12 They will bear 5375 you up in their hands 3709, That you do not strike 5062 your foot 7272 against a stone 68.
13 You will tread 1869 upon the lion 7826 and cobra 6620, The young 3715 lion 3715 and the serpent 8577 you will trample 7429 down 7429.
14 ¶ "Because 3588 he has loved 2836 Me, therefore I will deliver 6403 him; I will set 7682 him {securely} on high 7682, because 3588 he has known 3045 My name 8034.
15 "He will call 7121 upon Me, and I will answer 6030 him; I will be with him in trouble 6869; I will rescue 2502 him and honor 3513 him.
16 "With a long 753 life 3117 I will satisfy 7646 him And let him see 7200 My salvation 3444."

Praise for the L\{ORD}/'\{S}/ Goodness.

It is good 2896 to give 3034 thanks 3034 to the LORD 3068 And to sing 2167 praises 2167 to Your name 8034, O Most 5945 High 5945;
2 To declare 5046 Your lovingkindness 2617 in the morning 1242 And Your faithfulness 530 by night 3915,
3 With the ten-stringed 6218 lute and with the harp 5035, With resounding 1902 music 1902 upon the lyre 3658.
4 For You, O LORD 3068, have made 8055 me glad 8055 by what 6467 You have done 6467, I will sing 7442 for joy 7442 at the works 4639 of Your hands 3027.
5 ¶ How 4100 great 1431 are Your works 4639, O LORD 3068! Your thoughts 4284 are very 3966 deep 6009.
6 A senseless 1198 man 376 has 3045 no 3808 knowledge 3045, Nor 3808 does a stupid 3684 man 3684 understand 995 this 384:
7 That when the wicked 7563 sprouted 6524 up like 3644 grass 6212 And all 3605 who did 6466 iniquity 205 flourished 6692, It {was only} that they might be destroyed 8045 forevermore.
8 But You, O LORD 3068, are on high 4791 forever 5769.
9 For, behold 2009, Your enemies 340, O LORD 3068, For, behold 2009, Your enemies 340 will perish 6; All 3605 who do 6466 iniquity 205 will be scattered 6504.
10 ¶ But You have exalted 7311 my horn 7161 like {that of} the wild 7214 ox 7214; I have been anointed 1101 with fresh 7488 oil 8081.
11 And my eye 5869 has looked 5027 {exultantly} upon my foes 7790, My ears 241 hear 8085 of the evildoers 7489 who rise 6965 up against 5921 me.
12 The righteous 6662 man 6662 will flourish 6524 like the palm 8558 tree 8558, He will grow 7685 like a cedar 730 in Lebanon 3844.
13 Planted 8362 in the house 1004 of the LORD 3068, They will flourish 6524 in the courts 2691 of our God 430.
14 They will still 5750 yield 5107 fruit 5107 in old 7872 age 7872; They shall be full 1879 of sap 1879 and very 7488 green 7488,
15 To declare 5046 that the LORD 3068 is upright 3477; {He is} my rock 6697, and there is no 3808 unrighteousness 5767 in Him.

PSALM 93

The Majesty of the L\{ORD}/.

The LORD 3068 reigns 4427, He is clothed 3847 with majesty 1348; The LORD 3068 has clothed 3847 and girded 247 Himself with strength 5797; Indeed 637, the world 8398 is firmly 3559 established 3559, it will not be moved 4131.
2 Your throne 3678 is established 3559 from of old 3975; You are from everlasting 5769.
3 ¶ The floods 5104 have lifted 5375 up, O LORD 3068, The floods 5104 have lifted 5375 up their voice 6963, The floods 5104 lift 5375 up their pounding 1796 waves 1796.
4 More 4480 than 4480 the sounds 6963 of many 7227 waters 4325, {Than} the mighty 117 breakers 4867 of the sea 3220, The LORD 3068 on high 4791 is mighty 117.
5 Your testimonies 5713 are fully 3966 confirmed 539; Holiness 6944 befits 4998 Your house 1004, O LORD 3068, forevermore.

The L\{ORD}/ Implored to Avenge His People.

O LORD 3068, God 410 of vengeance 5360, God 410 of vengeance 5360, shine 3313 forth 3313!
2 Rise 5375 up, O Judge 8199 of the earth 776, Render 7725 recompense 1576 to the proud 1343.
3 How 4970 long shall the wicked 7563, O LORD 3068, How 4970 long shall the wicked 7563 exult 5937?
4 They pour 5042 forth 5042 {words,} they speak 1696 arrogantly 6277; All 3605 who do 6466 wickedness 205 vaunt 559 themselves.
5 They crush 1792 Your people 5971, O LORD 3068, And afflict 6031 Your heritage 5159.
6 They slay 2026 the widow 490 and the stranger 1616 And murder 7523 the orphans 3490.
7 They have said 559, "The LORD 3050 does not see 7200, Nor 3808 does the God 430 of Jacob 3290 pay 995 heed 995."
8 ¶ Pay 995 heed 995, you senseless 1197 among the people 5971; And when 4970 will you understand 7919, stupid 3684 ones 3684?
9 He who planted 5193 the ear 241, does He not hear 8085? He who formed 3335 the eye 5869, does He not see 5027?
10 He who chastens 3256 the nations 1471, will He not rebuke 3198, {Even} He who teaches 3925 man 120 knowledge 1847?
11 The LORD 3068 knows 3045 the thoughts 4284 of man 120, That they are a {mere} breath 1892.
12 ¶ Blessed 835 is the man 1397 whom 834 You chasten 3256, O LORD 3050, And whom You teach 3925 out of Your law 8451;
13 That You may grant 8252 him relief 8252 from the days 3117 of adversity 7451, Until 5704 a pit 7845 is dug 3738 for the wicked 7563.
14 For the LORD 3068 will not abandon 5203 His people 5971, Nor 3808 will He forsake 5800 His inheritance 5159.
15 For judgment 4941 will again 7725 be righteous 6664, And all 3605 the upright 3477 in heart 3820 will follow 310 it.
16 Who 4310 will stand 6965 up for me against 5973 evildoers 7489? Who 4310 will take 3320 his stand 3320 for me against 5973 those who do 6466 wickedness 205?
17 ¶ If 3884 the LORD 3068 had not been 1961 my help 5833, My soul 5315 would soon 4592 have dwelt 7931 in {the abode of} silence 1745.
18 If 518 I should say 559, "My foot 7272 has slipped 4131," Your lovingkindness 2617, O LORD 3068, will hold 5582 me up.
19 When my anxious 8312 thoughts 8312 multiply 7230 within 7130 me, Your consolations 8575 delight 8173 my soul 5315.
20 Can a throne 3678 of destruction 1942 be allied 2266 with You, One which devises 3335 mischief 5999 by decree 2706?
21 They band 1481 themselves together 1413 against 5921 the life 5315 of the righteous 6662 And condemn 7561 the innocent 5355 to death 1818.
22 But the LORD 3068 has been 1961 my stronghold 4869, And my God 430 the rock 6697 of my refuge 4268.
23 He has brought 7725 back 7725 their wickedness 205 upon them And will destroy 6789 them in their evil 7451; The LORD 3068 our God 430 will destroy 6789 them.

Praise to the L\{ORD}/, and Warning against Unbelief.

O come 1980, let us sing 7442 for joy 7442 to the LORD 3068, Let us shout 7321 joyfully 7321 to the rock 6697 of our salvation 3468.
2 Let us come 6923 before 6923 His presence 6440 with thanksgiving 8426, Let us shout 7321 joyfully 7321 to Him with psalms 2158.
3 For the LORD 3068 is a great 1419 God 410 And a great 1419 King 4428 above 5921 all 3605 gods 430,
4 In whose 834 hand 3027 are the depths 4278 of the earth 776, The peaks 8443 of the mountains 2022 are His also.
5 The sea 3220 is His, for it was He who made 6213 it, And His hands 3027 formed 3335 the dry 3006 land 3006.
6 ¶ Come 935, let us worship 7812 and bow 3766 down 3766, Let us kneel 1288 before 6923 the LORD 3068 our Maker 6213.
7 For He is our God 430, And we are the people 5971 of His pasture 4830 and the sheep 6629 of His hand 3027. Today 3117, if 518 you would hear 8085 His voice 6963,
8 Do not harden 7185 your hearts 3824, as at Meribah 4809, As in the day 3117 of Massah 4532 in the wilderness 4057,
9 "When 834 your fathers 1 tested 5254 Me, They tried 974 Me, though 1571 they had seen 7200 My work 6467.
10 "For forty 705 years 8141 I loathed 6962 {that} generation 1755, And said 559 they are a people 5971 who err 8582 in their heart 3824, And they do not know 3045 My ways 1870.

2 Sing 7891 to the LORD 3068, bless 1288 His name 8034; Proclaim 1319 good tidings 1319 of His salvation 3444 from day 3117 to day 3117.
3 Tell 5608 of His glory 3519 among the nations 1471, His wonderful 6381 deeds 6381 among all 3605 the peoples 5971.
4 For great 1419 is the LORD 3068 and greatly 3966 to be praised 1984; He is to be feared 3372 above 5921 all 3605 gods 430.
5 For all 3605 the gods 430 of the peoples 5971 are idols 457, But the LORD 3068 made 6213 the heavens 8064.
6 Splendor 1935 and majesty 1926 are before 6923 Him, Strength 5797 and beauty 8597 are in His sanctuary 4720.
7 ¶ Ascribe 3051 to the LORD 3068, O families 4940 of the peoples 5971, Ascribe 3051 to the LORD 3068 glory 3519 and strength 5797.
8 Ascribe 3051 to the LORD 3068 the glory 3519 of His name 8034; Bring 5375 an offering 4503 and come 935 into His courts 2691.
9 Worship 7812 the LORD 3068 in holy 6944 attire 1927; Tremble 2342 before Him, all 3605 the earth 776.
10 Say 559 among the nations 1471, "The LORD 3068 reigns 4427; Indeed 637, the world 8398 is firmly 3559 established 3559, it will not be moved 4131; He will judge 1777 the peoples 5971 with equity 4339."
11 ¶ Let the heavens 8064 be glad 8055, and let the earth 776 rejoice 1523; Let the sea 3220 roar 7481, and all 4393 it contains 4393;
12 Let the field 7706 exult 5937, and all 3605 that is in it. Then 227 all 3605 the trees 6086 of the forest 3293 will sing 7442 for joy 7442
13 Before 6440 the LORD 3068, for He is coming 935, For He is coming 935 to judge 8199 the earth 776. He will judge 8199 the world 8398 in righteousness 6664 And the peoples 5971 in His faithfulness 530.

2 Clouds 6051 and thick 6205 darkness 6205 surround 5439 Him; Righteousness 6664 and justice 4941 are the foundation 4349 of His throne 3678.
3 Fire 784 goes 1980 before 6440 Him And burns 3857 up His adversaries 6862 round 5439 about 5439.
4 His lightnings 1300 lit 215 up the world 8398; The earth 776 saw 7200 and trembled 2342.
5 The mountains 2022 melted 4549 like wax 1749 at the presence 6440 of the LORD 3068, At the presence 6440 of the Lord 136 of the whole 3605 earth 776.
6 The heavens 8064 declare 5046 His righteousness 6664, And all 3605 the peoples 5971 have seen 7200 His glory 3519.
7 ¶ Let all 3605 those be ashamed 954 who serve 5647 graven 6459 images 6459, Who boast 1984 themselves of idols 457; Worship 7812 Him, all 3605 you gods 430.
8 Zion 6726 heard 8085 {this} and was glad 8055, And the daughters 1323 of Judah 3063 have rejoiced 1523 Because 4616 of Your judgments 4941, O LORD 3068.
9 For You are the LORD 3068 Most 5945 High 5945 over 5921 all 3605 the earth 776; You are exalted 5927 far 3966 above 5921 all 3605 gods 430.
10 ¶ Hate 8130 evil 7451, you who love 157 the LORD 3068, Who preserves 8104 the souls 5315 of His godly 2623 ones 2623; He delivers 5337 them from the hand 3027 of the wicked 7563.
11 Light 216 is sown 2232 {like seed} for the righteous 6662 And gladness 8057 for the upright 3477 in heart 3820.
12 Be glad 8055 in the LORD 3068, you righteous 6662 ones 6662, And give 3034 thanks 3034 to His holy 6944 name 2143.

7 He spoke 1696 to them in the pillar 5982 of cloud 6051; They kept 8104 His testimonies 5713 And the statute 2706 that He gave 5414 them.
8 O LORD 3068 our God 430, You answered 6030 them; You were a forgiving 5375 God 410 to them, And {yet} an avenger 5358 of their {evil} deeds 5949.

The Psalmist's Profession of Uprightness.

I will sing 2167 of lovingkindness 2617 and justice 4941, To You, O LORD 3068, I will sing 2167 praises 2167.
2 I will give 7919 heed 7919 to the blameless 8549 way 1870. When 4970 will You come 935 to me? I will walk 1980 within 7130 my house 1004 in the integrity 8537 of my heart 3824.
3 I will set 7896 no 3808 worthless 1100 thing 1697 before 5048 my eyes 5869; I hate 8130 the work 6213 of those 7846 who 7846 fall 7846 away 7846; It shall not fasten 1692 its grip 1692 on me.
4 A perverse 6141 heart 3824 shall depart 5493 from me; I will know 3045 no 3808 evil 7451.
5 Whoever secretly 5643 slanders 3960 his neighbor 7453, him I will destroy 6789; No 3808 one who has a haughty 1364 look 5869 and an arrogant 7342 heart 3824 will I endure 3201.
6 ¶ My eyes 5869 shall be upon the faithful 539 of the land 776, that they may dwell 3427 with me; He who walks 1980 in a blameless 8549 way 1870 is the one 1931 who will minister 8334 to me.
7 He who practices 6213 deceit 7423 shall not dwell 3427 within 7130 my house 1004; He who speaks 1696 falsehood 8267 shall not maintain 3559 his position 3559 before 5048 me.
8 Every morning 1242 I will destroy 6789 all 3605 the wicked 7563 of the land 776, So as to cut 3772 off 3772 from the city 5892 of the LORD 3068 all 3605 those who do 6466 iniquity 205.

Prayer of an Afflicted Man for Mercy on Himself and on Zion.

Hear 8085 my prayer 8605, O LORD 3068! And let my cry 7775 for help 7775 come 935 to You.
2 Do not hide 5641 Your face 6440 from me in the day 3117 of my distress 6862; Incline 5186 Your ear 241 to me; In the day 3117 when I call 7121 answer 6030 me quickly 4118.
3 For my days 3117 have been 3615 consumed 3615 in smoke 6227, And my bones 6106 have been scorched 2787 like a hearth 4168.
4 My heart 3820 has been smitten 5221 like grass 6212 and has withered 3001 away, Indeed 3588, I forget 7911 to eat 398 my bread 3899.
5 Because 4480 of the loudness 6963 of my groaning 585 My bones 6106 cling 1692 to my flesh 1320.
6 I resemble 1819 a pelican 6893 of the wilderness 4057; I have become 1961 like an owl 3563 of the waste 2723 places 2723.
7 I lie 8245 awake 8245, I have become 1961 like a lonely 909 bird 6833 on a housetop 1406.
8 ¶ My enemies 340 have reproached 2778 me all 3605 day 3117 long; Those who deride 1984 me have used 7650 my {name} as a curse 7650.
9 For I have eaten 398 ashes 665 like bread 3899 And mingled 4537 my drink 8250 with weeping 1065
10 Because of Your indignation 2195 and Your wrath 7110, For You have lifted 5375 me up and cast 7993 me away 7993.
11 My days 3117 are like a lengthened 5186 shadow 6738, And I wither 3001 away like grass 6212.
12 ¶ But You, O LORD 3068, abide 3427 forever 5769, And Your name 2143 to all 1755 generations 1755.
13 You will arise 6965 {and} have 7355 compassion 7355 on Zion 6726; For it is time 6256 to be gracious 2603 to her, For the appointed 4150 time 4150 has come 935.
14 Surely 3588 Your servants 5650 find 7521 pleasure 7521 in her stones 68 And feel 2603 pity 2603 for her dust 6083.
15 So the nations 1471 will fear 3372 the name 8034 of the LORD 3068 And all 3605 the kings 4428 of the earth 776 Your glory 3519.
16 For the LORD 3068 has built 1129 up Zion 6726; He has appeared 7200 in His glory 3519.
17 He has regarded 6437 the prayer 8605 of the destitute 6199 And has not despised 959 their prayer 8605.
18 ¶ This 384 will be written 3789 for the generation 1755 to come 314, That a people 5971 yet to be created 1254 may praise 1984 the LORD 3050.
19 For He looked 8259 down 8259 from His holy 6944 height 4791; From heaven 8064 the LORD 3068 gazed 5027 upon the earth 776,
20 To hear 8085 the groaning 603 of the prisoner 615, To set 6605 free 6605 those 1121 who 1121 were doomed 1121 to death 8546,
21 That {men} may tell 5608 of the name 8034 of the LORD 3068 in Zion 6726 And His praise 8416 in Jerusalem 3389,
22 When the peoples 5971 are gathered 6908 together 3164, And the kingdoms 4467, to serve 5647 the LORD 3068.
23 ¶ He has weakened 6031 my strength 3581 in the way 1870; He has shortened 7114 my days 3117.
24 I say 559, "O my God 410, do not take 5927 me away 5927 in the midst 2677 of my days 3117, Your years 8141 are throughout all 1755 generations 1755.
25 "Of old 6440 You founded 3245 the earth 776, And the heavens 8064 are the work 4639 of Your hands 3027.
26 "Even they will perish 6, but You endure 5975; And all 3605 of them will wear 1086 out like a garment 899; Like clothing 3830 You will change 2498 them and they will be changed 2498.
27 "But You are the same 1931, And Your years 8141 will not come 8552 to an end 8552.
28 "The children 1121 of Your servants 5650 will continue 7931, And their descendants 2233 will be established 3559 before 6440 You."

Bless 1288 the LORD 3068, O my soul 5315, And all 3605 that is within 7130 me, {bless} His holy 6944 name 8034.
2 Bless 1288 the LORD 3068, O my soul 5315, And forget 7911 none of His benefits 1576;
3 Who pardons 5545 all 3605 your iniquities 5771, Who heals 7495 all 3605 your diseases 8463;
4 Who redeems 1350 your life 2425 from the pit 7845, Who crowns 5849 you with lovingkindness 2617 and compassion 7356;
5 Who satisfies 7646 your years 5716 with good 2896 things 2896, {So that} your youth 5271 is renewed 2318 like the eagle 5404.
6 ¶ The LORD 3068 performs 6213 righteous 6666 deeds 6666 And judgments 4941 for all 3605 who are oppressed 6231.
7 He made 3045 known 3045 His ways 1870 to Moses 4872, His acts 5949 to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478.
8 The LORD 3068 is compassionate 7349 and gracious 2587, Slow 750 to anger 639 and abounding 7227 in lovingkindness 2617.
9 He will not always 5331 strive 7378 {with us,} Nor 3808 will He keep 5201 {His anger} forever 5769.
10 He has not dealt 6213 with us according to our sins 2399, Nor 3808 rewarded 1580 us according to our iniquities 5771.
11 For as high 1361 as the heavens 8064 are above 5921 the earth 776, So great 1396 is His lovingkindness 2617 toward 5921 those who fear 3372 Him.
12 As far 7368 as the east 4217 is from the west 4628, So far 7368 has He removed 7368 our transgressions 6588 from us.
13 Just as a father 1 has 7355 compassion 7355 on {his} children 1121, So the LORD 3068 has 7355 compassion 7355 on those who fear 3372 Him.
14 For He Himself 1931 knows 3045 our frame 3336; He is mindful 2142 that we are {but} dust 6083.
15 ¶ As for man 582, his days 3117 are like grass 2682; As a flower 6731 of the field 7704, so 3651 he flourishes 6692.
16 When 3588 the wind 7307 has passed 5674 over 5674 it, it is no 369 more 369, And its place 4725 acknowledges 5234 it no 3808 longer 5750.
17 But the lovingkindness 2617 of the LORD 3068 is from everlasting 5769 to everlasting 5769 on those who fear 3372 Him, And His righteousness 6666 to children's 1121 children 1121,
18 To those who keep 8104 His covenant 1285 And remember 2142 His precepts 6490 to do 6213 them.
19 ¶ The LORD 3068 has established 3559 His throne 3678 in the heavens 8064, And His sovereignty 4438 rules 4910 over all 3605.
20 Bless 1288 the LORD 3068, you His angels 4397, Mighty 1368 in strength 3581, who perform 6213 His word 1697, Obeying 8085 the voice 6963 of His word 1697!
21 Bless 1288 the LORD 3068, all 3605 you His hosts 6635, You who serve 8334 Him, doing 6213 His will 7522.
22 Bless 1288 the LORD 3068, all 3605 you works 4639 of His, In all 3605 places 4725 of His dominion 4475; Bless 1288 the LORD 3068, O my soul 5315!

PSALM 104

The L\{ORD}/'\{S}/ Care over All His Works.

Bless 1288 the LORD 3068, O my soul 5315! O LORD 3068 my God 430, You are very 3966 great 1431; You are clothed 3847 with splendor 1935 and majesty 1926,
2 Covering 5844 Yourself with light 216 as with a cloak 8008, Stretching 5186 out heaven 8064 like a {tent} curtain 3407.
3 He lays 7136 the beams 7136 of His upper 5944 chambers 5944 in the waters 4325; He makes 7760 the clouds 5645 His chariot 7398; He walks 1980 upon the wings 3671 of the wind 7307;
4 He makes 6213 the winds 7307 His messengers 4397, Flaming 3857 fire 784 His ministers 8334.
5 ¶ He established 3245 the earth 776 upon its foundations 4349, So that it will not totter 4131 forever 5769 and ever 5703.
6 You covered 3680 it with the deep 8415 as with a garment 3830; The waters 4325 were standing 5975 above 5921 the mountains 2022.
7 At Your rebuke 1606 they fled 5127, At the sound 6963 of Your thunder 7482 they hurried 2648 away 2648.
8 The mountains 2022 rose 5927; the valleys 1237 sank 3381 down 3381 To the place 4725 which 2088 You established 3245 for them.
9 You set 7760 a boundary 1366 that they may not pass 5674 over 5674, So that they will not return 7725 to cover 3680 the earth 776.
10 ¶ He sends 7971 forth springs 4599 in the valleys 5158; They flow 1980 between 996 the mountains 2022;
11 They give 8248 drink 8248 to every 3605 beast 2421 of the field 7706; The wild 6501 donkeys 6501 quench 7665 their thirst 6772.
12 Beside 5921 them the birds 5775 of the heavens 8064 dwell 7931; They lift 5414 up {their} voices 6963 among the branches 6074.
13 He waters 8248 the mountains 2022 from His upper 5944 chambers 5944; The earth 776 is satisfied 7646 with the fruit 6529 of His works 4639.
14 ¶ He causes the grass 2682 to grow 6779 for the cattle 929, And vegetation 6212 for the labor 5656 of man 120, So that he may bring 3318 forth 3318 food 3899 from the earth 776,
15 And wine 3196 which makes 8055 man's 582 heart 3824 glad 8055, So that he may make {his} face 6440 glisten 6670 with oil 8081, And food 3899 which sustains 5582 man's 582 heart 3824.
16 The trees 6086 of the LORD 3068 drink 7646 their fill 7646, The cedars 730 of Lebanon 3844 which 834 He planted 5193,
17 Where the birds 6833 build 7077 their nests 7077, {And} the stork 2624, whose home 1004 is the fir 1265 trees 1265.
18 ¶ The high 1364 mountains 2022 are for the wild 3277 goats 3277; The cliffs 5553 are a refuge 4268 for the shephanim 8227.
19 He made 6213 the moon 3394 for the seasons 4150; The sun 8121 knows 3045 the place 3996 of its setting 3996.
20 You appoint 7896 darkness 2822 and it becomes 1961 night 3915, In which all 3605 the beasts 2421 of the forest 3293 prowl 7430 about 7430.
21 The young 3715 lions 3715 roar 7580 after their prey 2964 And seek 1245 their food 400 from God 410.
22 {When} the sun 8121 rises 2224 they withdraw 622 And lie 7257 down 7257 in their dens 4585.
23 Man 120 goes 3318 forth 3318 to his work 6467 And to his labor 5656 until 5704 evening 6153.
24 ¶ O LORD 3068, how 4100 many 7231 are Your works 4639! In wisdom 2451 You have made 6213 them all 3605; The earth 776 is full 4390 of Your possessions 7075.
25 There 2088 is the sea 3220, great 1419 and broad 7342, In which 8033 are swarms 7431 without 369 number 4557, Animals 2421 both small 6996 and great 1419.
26 There 8033 the ships 591 move 1980 along, {And} Leviathan 3882, which 2088 You have formed 3336 to sport 7832 in it.
27 ¶ They all 3605 wait 7663 for You To give 5414 them their food 400 in due season 6256.
28 You give 5414 to them, they gather 3950 {it} up; You open 6605 Your hand 3027, they are satisfied 7646 with good 2896.
29 You hide 5641 Your face 6440, they are dismayed 926; You take 622 away 622 their spirit 7307, they expire 1478 And return 7725 to their dust 6083.
30 You send 7971 forth Your Spirit 7307, they are created 1254; And You renew 2318 the face 6440 of the ground 127.
31 ¶ Let the glory 3519 of the LORD 3068 endure 1961 forever 5769; Let the LORD 3068 be glad 8055 in His works 4639;
32 He looks 5027 at the earth 776, and it trembles 7460; He touches 5060 the mountains 2022, and they smoke 6225.
33 I will sing 2167 to the LORD 3068 as long as I live 2425; I will sing 2167 praise 2167 to my God 430 while 5750 I have my being.
34 Let my meditation 7879 be pleasing 6149 to Him; As for me, I shall be glad 8055 in the LORD 3068.
35 Let sinners 2400 be consumed 8552 from the earth 776 And let the wicked 7563 be no 369 more 5750. Bless 1288 the LORD 3068, O my soul 5315. Praise 1984 the LORD 3050!

PSALM 105

The L\{ORD}/'\{S}/ Wonderful Works in Behalf of Israel.

Oh give 3034 thanks 3034 to the LORD 3068, call 7121 upon His name 8034; Make 3045 known 3045 His deeds 5949 among the peoples 5971.
2 Sing 7891 to Him, sing 2167 praises 2167 to Him; Speak 7878 of all 3605 His wonders 6381.
3 Glory 1984 in His holy 6944 name 8034; Let the heart 3820 of those who seek 1245 the LORD 3068 be glad 8055.
4 Seek 1875 the LORD 3068 and His strength 5797; Seek 1245 His face 6440 continually 8548.
5 Remember 2142 His wonders 4159 which 834 He has done 6213, His marvels 4159 and the judgments 4941 uttered by His mouth 6310,
6 O seed 2233 of Abraham 85, His servant 5650, O sons 1121 of Jacob 3290, His chosen 972 ones 972!
7 He is the LORD 3068 our God 430; His judgments 4941 are in all 3605 the earth 776.
8 ¶ He has remembered 2142 His covenant 1285 forever 5769, The word 1697 which He commanded 6680 to a thousand 505 generations 1755,
9 {The} {covenant} which 834 He made 3772 with Abraham 85, And His oath 7621 to Isaac 3327.
10 Then He confirmed 5975 it to Jacob 3290 for a statute 2706, To Israel 3478 as an everlasting 5769 covenant 1285,
11 Saying 559, "To you I will give 5414 the land 776 of Canaan 3667 As the portion 2256 of your inheritance 5159,"
12 When they were only a few 4962 men 4962 in number 4557, Very few 4592, and strangers 1481 in it.
13 And they wandered 1980 about from nation 1471 to nation 1471, From {one} kingdom 4467 to another 312 people 5971.
14 He permitted 5117 no 3808 man 120 to oppress 6231 them, And He reproved 3198 kings 4428 for their sakes 5921:
15 "Do not touch 5060 My anointed 4899 ones 4899, And do 7489 My prophets 5030 no 408 harm 7489."
16 ¶ And He called 7121 for a famine 7458 upon the land 776; He broke 7665 the whole 3605 staff 4294 of bread 3899.
17 He sent 7971 a man 376 before 6440 them, Joseph 3130, {who} was sold 4376 as a slave 5650.
18 They afflicted 6031 his feet 7272 with fetters 3525, He himself 5315 was laid 935 in irons 1270;
19 Until 5704 the time 6256 that his word 1697 came 935 to pass 935, The word 1697 of the LORD 3068 tested 6884 him.
20 The king 4428 sent 7971 and released 5425 him, The ruler 4910 of peoples 5971, and set 6605 him free 6605.
21 He made 7760 him lord 113 of his house 1004 And ruler 4910 over all 3605 his possessions 7075,
22 To imprison 631 his princes 8269 at will 5315, That he might teach 2449 his elders 2205 wisdom 2449.
23 Israel 3478 also came 935 into Egypt 4714; Thus Jacob 3290 sojourned 1481 in the land 776 of Ham 2526.
24 And He caused His people 5971 to be very 3966 fruitful 6509, And made 6105 them stronger 6105 than 4480 their adversaries 6862.
25 ¶ He turned 2015 their heart 3820 to hate 8130 His people 5971, To deal 5230 craftily 5230 with His servants 5650.
26 He sent 7971 Moses 4872 His servant 5650, {And} Aaron 175, whom 834 He had chosen 977.
27 They performed 7760 His wondrous 226 acts 1697 among them, And miracles 4159 in the land 776 of Ham 2526.
28 He sent 7971 darkness 2822 and made 2821 {it} dark 2821; And they did not rebel 4784 against 854 His words 1697.
29 He turned 2015 their waters 4325 into blood 1818 And caused their fish 1710 to die 4191.
30 Their land 776 swarmed 8317 with frogs 6854 {Even} in the chambers 2315 of their kings 4428.
31 He spoke 559, and there came 935 a swarm 6157 of flies 6157 {And} gnats 3654 in all 3605 their territory 1366.
32 He gave 5414 them hail 1259 for rain 1653, {And} flaming 3852 fire 784 in their land 776.
33 He struck 5221 down 5221 their vines 1612 also and their fig 8384 trees 8384, And shattered 7665 the trees 6086 of their territory 1366.
34 He spoke 559, and locusts 697 came 935, And young 3218 locusts 3218, even without 369 number 4557,
35 And ate 398 up all 3605 vegetation 6212 in their land 776, And ate 398 up the fruit 6529 of their ground 127.
36 He also struck 5221 down 5221 all 3605 the firstborn 1060 in their land 776, The first 7225 fruits 7225 of all 3605 their vigor 202.
37 ¶ Then He brought 3318 them out with silver 3701 and gold 2091, And among His tribes 7626 there 369 was not one 369 who stumbled 3782.
38 Egypt 4714 was glad 8055 when they departed 3318, For the dread 6343 of them had fallen 5307 upon them.
39 He spread 6566 a cloud 6051 for a covering 4539, And fire 784 to illumine 215 by night 3915.
40 They asked 7592, and He brought 935 quail 7958, And satisfied 7646 them with the bread 3899 of heaven 8064.
41 He opened 6605 the rock 6697 and water 4325 flowed 2100 out; It ran 1980 in the dry 6723 places 6723 {like} a river 5104.
42 For He remembered 2142 His holy 6944 word 1697 {With} Abraham 85 His servant 5650;
43 And He brought 3318 forth 3318 His people 5971 with joy 8342, His chosen 972 ones 972 with a joyful 7440 shout 7440.
44 He gave 5414 them also the lands 776 of the nations 1471, That they might take 3423 possession 3423 of {the fruit of} the peoples' 3816 labor 5999,
45 So 5668 that they might keep 8104 His statutes 2706 And observe 5341 His laws 8451, Praise 1984 the LORD 3050!

PSALM 106

Israel's Rebelliousness and the L\{ORD}/'\{S}/ Deliverances.

Praise 1984 the LORD 3050! Oh give 3034 thanks 3034 to the LORD 3068, for He is good 2896; For His lovingkindness 2617 is everlasting 5769.
2 Who 4310 can speak 4448 of the mighty 1369 deeds 1369 of the LORD 3068, Or can show 8085 forth all 3605 His praise 8416?
3 How blessed 835 are those who keep 8104 justice 4941, Who practice 6213 righteousness 6666 at all 3605 times 6256!
4 ¶ Remember 2142 me, O LORD 3068, in {Your} favor 7522 toward Your people 5971; Visit 6485 me with Your salvation 3444,
5 That I may see 7200 the prosperity 2899 of Your chosen 972 ones 972, That I may rejoice 8055 in the gladness 8057 of Your nation 1471, That I may glory 1984 with Your inheritance 5159.
6 ¶ We have sinned 2398 like 5973 our fathers 1, We have committed 5753 iniquity 5753, we have behaved 7561 wickedly 7561.
7 Our fathers 1 in Egypt 4714 did not understand 7919 Your wonders 6381; They did not remember 2142 Your abundant 7230 kindnesses 2617, But rebelled 4784 by the sea 3220, at the Red Sea 3220.
8 Nevertheless He saved 3467 them for the sake 4616 of His name 8034, That He might make 3045 His power 1369 known 3045.
9 Thus He rebuked 1605 the Red Sea 3220 and it dried 2717 up, And He led 1980 them through the deeps 8415, as through the wilderness 4057.
10 So He saved 3467 them from the hand 3027 of the one who hated 8130 {them,} And redeemed 1350 them from the hand 3027 of the enemy 340.
11 The waters 4325 covered 3680 their adversaries 6862; Not one 259 of them was left 3498.
12 Then they believed 539 His words 1697; They sang 7891 His praise 8416.
13 ¶ They quickly 4116 forgot 7911 His works 4639; They did not wait 2442 for His counsel 6098,
14 But craved 183 intensely 8378 in the wilderness 4057, And tempted 5254 God 410 in the desert 3452.
15 So He gave 5414 them their request 7596, But sent 7971 a wasting 7332 disease 7332 among them.
16 ¶ When they became 7065 envious 7065 of Moses 4872 in the camp 4264, And of Aaron 175, the holy 6918 one 6918 of the LORD 3068,
17 The earth 776 opened 6605 and swallowed 1104 up Dathan 1885, And engulfed 3680 the company 5712 of Abiram 48.
18 And a fire 784 blazed 1197 up in their company 5712; The flame 3852 consumed 3857 the wicked 7563.
19 ¶ They made 6213 a calf 5695 in Horeb 2722 And worshiped 7812 a molten 4541 image 4541.
20 Thus they exchanged 4171 their glory 3519 For the image 8403 of an ox 7794 that eats 398 grass 6212.
21 They forgot 7911 God 410 their Savior 3467, Who had done 6213 great 1419 things 1419 in Egypt 4714,
22 Wonders 6381 in the land 776 of Ham 2526 {And} awesome 3372 things by the Red Sea 3220.
23 Therefore He said 559 that He would destroy 8045 them, Had not Moses 4872 His chosen 972 one stood 5975 in the breach 6556 before 6440 Him, To turn 7725 away 7725 His wrath 2534 from destroying 7843 {them.}
24 Then they despised 3988 the pleasant 2532 land 776; They did not believe 539 in His word 1697,
25 But grumbled 7279 in their tents 168; They did not listen 8085 to the voice 6963 of the LORD 3068.
26 Therefore He swore to them That He would cast 5307 them down 5307 in the wilderness 4057,
27 And that He would cast 5307 their seed 2233 among the nations 1471 And scatter 2219 them in the lands 776.
28 ¶ They joined 6775 themselves also to Baal-peor 1187, And ate 398 sacrifices 2077 offered to the dead 4191.
29 Thus they provoked 3707 {Him} to anger 3707 with their deeds 4611, And the plague 4046 broke 6555 out among them.
30 Then Phinehas 6372 stood 5975 up and interposed 6419, And so the plague 4046 was stayed 6113.
31 And it was reckoned 2803 to him for righteousness 6666, To all 1755 generations 1755 forever.
32 ¶ They also provoked 7107 {Him} to wrath 7107 at the waters 4325 of Meribah 4809, So that it went 7489 hard 7489 with Moses 4872 on their account 5668;
33 Because 3588 they were rebellious 4784 against 854 His Spirit 7307, He spoke 981 rashly 981 with his lips 8193.
34 ¶ They did not destroy 8045 the peoples 5971, As the LORD 3068 commanded 559 them,
35 But they mingled 6148 with the nations 1471 And learned 3925 their practices 4639,
36 And served 5647 their idols 6091, Which became 1961 a snare 4170 to them.
37 They even sacrificed 2076 their sons 1121 and their daughters 1323 to the demons 7700,
38 And shed 8210 innocent 5355 blood 1818, The blood 1818 of their sons 1121 and their daughters 1323, Whom 834 they sacrificed 2076 to the idols 6091 of Canaan 3667; And the land 776 was polluted 2610 with the blood 1818.
39 Thus they became 2930 unclean 2930 in their practices 4639, And played 2181 the harlot 2181 in their deeds 4611.
40 ¶ Therefore the anger 639 of the LORD 3068 was kindled 2734 against His people 5971 And He abhorred 8581 His inheritance 5159.
41 Then He gave 5414 them into the hand 3027 of the nations 1471, And those 1992 who hated 8130 them ruled 4910 over them.
42 Their enemies 340 also oppressed 3905 them, And they were subdued 3665 under 8478 their power 3027.
43 Many 7227 times 6471 He would deliver 5337 them; They, however, were rebellious 4784 in their counsel 6098, And {so} sank 4355 down 4355 in their iniquity 5771.
44 ¶ Nevertheless He looked 7200 upon their distress 6862 When He heard 8085 their cry 7440;
45 And He remembered 2142 His covenant 1285 for their sake, And relented 5162 according to the greatness 7230 of His lovingkindness 2617.
46 He also made 5414 them {objects} of compassion 7356 In the presence 6440 of all 3605 their captors 7617.
47 ¶ Save 3467 us, O LORD 3068 our God 430, And gather 6908 us from among the nations 1471, To give 3034 thanks 3034 to Your holy 6944 name 8034 And glory 7623 in Your praise 8416.
48 Blessed 1288 be the LORD 3068, the God 430 of Israel 3478, From everlasting 5769 even to everlasting 5769. And let all 3605 the people 5971 say 559, "Amen 543." Praise 1984 the LORD 3050!

PSALM 107

The L\{ORD}/ Delivers Men from Manifold Troubles.

Oh give 3034 thanks 3034 to the LORD 3068, for He is good 2896, For His lovingkindness 2617 is everlasting 5769.
2 Let the redeemed 1350 of the LORD 3068 say 559 {so,} Whom 834 He has redeemed 1350 from the hand 3027 of the adversary 6862
3 And gathered 6908 from the lands 776, From the east 4217 and from the west 4628, From the north 6828 and from the south 3220.
4 ¶ They wandered 8582 in the wilderness 4057 in a desert 3452 region 3452; They did not find 4672 a way 1870 to an inhabited 4186 city 5892.
5 {They were} hungry 7457 and thirsty 6771; Their soul 5315 fainted 5848 within them.
6 Then they cried 6817 out to the LORD 3068 in their trouble 6862; He delivered 5337 them out of their distresses 4691.
7 He led 1869 them also by a straight 3477 way 1870, To go 1980 to an inhabited 4186 city 5892.
8 Let them give 3034 thanks 3034 to the LORD 3068 for His lovingkindness 2617, And for His wonders 6381 to the sons 1121 of men 120!
9 For He has satisfied 7646 the thirsty 8264 soul 5315, And the hungry 7457 soul 5315 He has filled 4390 with what 2896 is good 2896.
10 ¶ There were those who dwelt 3427 in darkness 2822 and in the shadow 6757 of death 6757, Prisoners 615 in misery 6040 and chains 1270,
11 Because 3588 they had rebelled 4784 against the words 561 of God 410 And spurned 5006 the counsel 6098 of the Most 5945 High 5945.
12 Therefore He humbled 3665 their heart 3820 with labor 5999; They stumbled 3782 and there 369 was none 369 to help 5826.
13 Then they cried 2199 out to the LORD 3068 in their trouble 6862; He saved 3467 them out of their distresses 4691.
14 He brought 3318 them out of darkness 2822 and the shadow 6757 of death 6757 And broke 5423 their bands 4147 apart 5423.
15 Let them give 3034 thanks 3034 to the LORD 3068 for His lovingkindness 2617, And for His wonders 6381 to the sons 1121 of men 120!
16 For He has shattered 7665 gates 1817 of bronze 5178 And cut 1438 bars 1280 of iron 1270 asunder 1438.
17 ¶ Fools 191, because 4480 of their rebellious 6588 way 1870, And because 4480 of their iniquities 5771, were afflicted 6031.
18 Their soul 5315 abhorred 8581 all 3605 kinds of food 400, And they drew 5060 near 5060 to the gates 8179 of death 4194.
19 Then they cried 2199 out to the LORD 3068 in their trouble 6862; He saved 3467 them out of their distresses 4691.
20 He sent 7971 His word 1697 and healed 7495 them, And delivered 4422 {them} from their destructions 7825.
21 Let them give 3034 thanks 3034 to the LORD 3068 for His lovingkindness 2617, And for His wonders 6381 to the sons 1121 of men 120!
22 Let them also offer 2076 sacrifices 2077 of thanksgiving 8426, And tell 5608 of His works 4639 with joyful 7440 singing 7440.
23 ¶ Those who go 3381 down 3381 to the sea 3220 in ships 591, Who do 6213 business 4399 on great 7227 waters 4325;
24 They have seen 7200 the works 4639 of the LORD 3068, And His wonders 6381 in the deep 4688.
25 For He spoke 559 and raised 5975 up a stormy 5591 wind 7307, Which lifted 7311 up the waves 1530 of the sea.
26 They rose 5927 up to the heavens 8064, they went 3381 down 3381 to the depths 8415; Their soul 5315 melted 4127 away in {their} misery 7463.
27 They reeled 2287 and staggered 5128 like a drunken 7910 man 7910, And were at their wits' 2451 end 1104.
28 Then they cried 6817 to the LORD 3068 in their trouble 6862, And He brought 3318 them out of their distresses 4691.
29 He caused 6965 the storm 5591 to be still 1827, So that the waves 1530 of the sea were hushed 2814.
30 Then they were glad 8055 because 3588 they were quiet 8367, So He guided 5148 them to their desired 2656 haven 4231.
31 Let them give 3034 thanks 3034 to the LORD 3068 for His lovingkindness 2617, And for His wonders 6381 to the sons 1121 of men 120!
32 Let them extol 7311 Him also in the congregation 6951 of the people 5971, And praise 1984 Him at the seat 4186 of the elders 2205.
33 ¶ He changes 7760 rivers 5104 into a wilderness 4057 And springs 4161 of water 4325 into a thirsty 6774 ground 6774;
34 A fruitful 6529 land 776 into a salt 4420 waste 4420, Because 4480 of the wickedness 7463 of those who dwell 3427 in it.
35 He changes 7760 a wilderness 4057 into a pool 98 of water 4325 And a dry 6723 land 776 into springs 4161 of water 4325;
36 And there 8033 He makes the hungry 7457 to dwell 3427, So that they may establish 3559 an inhabited 4186 city 5892,
37 And sow 2232 fields 7704 and plant 5193 vineyards 3754, And gather 6213 a fruitful 6529 harvest 8393.
38 Also He blesses 1288 them and they multiply 7235 greatly 3966, And He does not let their cattle 929 decrease 4591.
39 ¶ When they are diminished 4591 and bowed 7817 down 7817 Through 4480 oppression 6115, misery 7463 and sorrow 3015,
40 He pours 8210 contempt 937 upon princes 5081 And makes them wander 8582 in a pathless waste 8414.
41 But He sets 7682 the needy 34 securely 7682 on high 7682 away from affliction 6040, And makes 7760 {his} families 4940 like a flock 6629.
42 The upright 3477 see 7200 it and are glad 8055; But all 3605 unrighteousness 5767 shuts 7092 its mouth 6310.
43 Who 4310 is wise 2450? Let him give 8104 heed 8104 to these 428 things 428, And consider 995 the lovingkindnesses 2617 of the LORD 3068.

God Praised and Supplicated to Give Victory.

My heart 3820 is steadfast 3559, O God 430; I will sing 7891, I will sing 2167 praises 2167, even 637 with my soul 3519.
2 Awake 5782, harp 5035 and lyre 3658; I will awaken 5782 the dawn 7837!
3 I will give 3034 thanks 3034 to You, O LORD 3068, among the peoples 5971, And I will sing 2167 praises 2167 to You among the nations 3816.
4 For Your lovingkindness 2617 is great 1419 above the heavens 8064, And Your truth 571 {reaches} to the skies 7834.
5 Be exalted 7311, O God 430, above 5921 the heavens 8064, And Your glory 3519 above 5921 all 3605 the earth 776.
6 That Your beloved 3039 may be delivered 2502, Save 3467 with Your right 3225 hand 3225, and answer 6030 me!
7 ¶ God 430 has spoken 1696 in His holiness 6944: "I will exult 5937, I will portion 2505 out Shechem 7927 And measure 4058 out the valley 6010 of Succoth 5523.
8 "Gilead 1568 is Mine, Manasseh 4519 is Mine; Ephraim 669 also is the helmet 4581 of My head 7218; Judah 3063 is My scepter 2710.
9 "Moab 4124 is My washbowl 7366; Over 5921 Edom 112 I shall throw 7993 My shoe 5275; Over 5921 Philistia 6429 I will shout 7321 aloud 7321."
10 ¶ Who 4310 will bring 2986 me into the besieged 4013 city 5892? Who 4310 will lead 5148 me to Edom 112?
11 Have not You Yourself, O God 430, rejected 2186 us? And will You not go 3318 forth 3318 with our armies 6635, O God 430?
12 Oh give 3051 us help 5833 against 4480 the adversary 6862, For deliverance 8668 by man 120 is in vain 7723.
13 Through God 430 we will do 6213 valiantly 2428, And it is He who shall tread 947 down 947 our adversaries 6862.

PSALM 109

Vengeance Invoked upon Adversaries.

O God 430 of my praise 8416, Do not be silent 2790!
2 For they have opened 6605 the wicked 7563 and deceitful 4820 mouth 6310 against 5921 me; They have spoken 1696 against 854 me with a lying 8267 tongue 3956.
3 They have also surrounded 5437 me with words 1697 of hatred 8135, And fought 3898 against me without 2600 cause 2600.
4 In return 8478 for my love 160 they act 7853 as my accusers 7853; But I am {in} prayer 8605.
5 Thus they have repaid 7760 me evil 7463 for good 2899 And hatred 8135 for my love 160.
6 ¶ Appoint 6485 a wicked 7563 man 7563 over 5921 him, And let an accuser 7854 stand 5975 at his right 3225 hand 3225.
7 When he is judged 8199, let him come 3318 forth 3318 guilty 7563, And let his prayer 8605 become 1961 sin 2401.
8 Let his days 3117 be few 4592; Let another 312 take 3947 his office 6486.
9 Let his children 1121 be fatherless 3490 And his wife 802 a widow 490.
10 Let his children 1121 wander 5128 about and beg 7592; And let them seek 1875 {sustenance} far from their ruined 2723 homes 2723.
11 Let the creditor 5383 seize 5367 all 3605 that he has, And let strangers 2114 plunder 962 the product 3018 of his labor 3018.
12 Let there be none 408 to extend 4900 lovingkindness 2617 to him, Nor 408 any to be gracious 2603 to his fatherless 3490 children 3490.
13 Let his posterity 319 be cut 3772 off 3772; In a following 312 generation 1755 let their name 8034 be blotted 4229 out.
14 ¶ Let the iniquity 5771 of his fathers 1 be remembered 2142 before 413 the LORD 3068, And do not let the sin 2403 of his mother 517 be blotted 4229 out.
15 Let them be before 5048 the LORD 3068 continually 8548, That He may cut 3772 off 3772 their memory 2143 from the earth 776;
16 Because 3282 he did not remember 2142 to show 6213 lovingkindness 2617, But persecuted 7291 the afflicted 6041 and needy 34 man 376, And the despondent 3512 in heart 3824, to put 4191 {them} to death 4191.
17 He also loved 157 cursing 7045, so it came 935 to him; And he did not delight 2654 in blessing 1293, so it was far 7368 from him.
18 But he clothed 3847 himself with cursing 7045 as with his garment 4055, And it entered 935 into his body 7130 like water 4325 And like oil 8081 into his bones 6106.
19 Let it be to him as a garment 899 with which he covers 5844 himself, And for a belt 4206 with which he constantly 8548 girds 2296 himself.
20 Let this 384 be the reward 6468 of my accusers 7853 from the LORD 3068, And of those who speak 1696 evil 7451 against 5921 my soul 5315.
21 ¶ But You, O GOD 3068, the Lord 136, deal 6213 {kindly} with me for Your name's 8034 sake 4616; Because 3588 Your lovingkindness 2617 is good 2896, deliver 5337 me;
22 For I am afflicted 6041 and needy 34, And my heart 3820 is wounded 2490 within 7130 me.
23 I am passing 1980 like a shadow 6738 when it lengthens 5186; I am shaken 5287 off 5287 like the locust 697.
24 My knees 1290 are weak 3782 from fasting 6685, And my flesh 1320 has grown 3584 lean 3584, without 4480 fatness 8081.
25 I also have become 1961 a reproach 2781 to them; When they see 7200 me, they wag 5128 their head 7218.
26 ¶ Help 5826 me, O LORD 3068 my God 430; Save 3467 me according to Your lovingkindness 2617.
27 And let them know 3045 that this 384 is Your hand 3027; You, LORD 3068, have done 6213 it.
28 Let them curse 7043, but You bless 1288; When they arise 6965, they shall be ashamed 954, But Your servant 5650 shall be glad 8055.
29 Let my accusers 7853 be clothed 3847 with dishonor 3639, And let them cover 5844 themselves with their own shame 1322 as with a robe 4598.
30 ¶ With my mouth 6310 I will give 3034 thanks 3034 abundantly 3966 to the LORD 3068; And in the midst 8432 of many 7227 I will praise 1984 Him.
31 For He stands 5975 at the right 3225 hand 3225 of the needy 34, To save 3467 him from those who judge 8199 his soul 5315.

2 The LORD 3068 will stretch 7971 forth 7971 Your strong 5797 scepter 4294 from Zion 6726, {saying,} "Rule 7287 in the midst 7130 of Your enemies 340."
3 Your people 5971 will volunteer 5071 freely 5071 in the day 3117 of Your power 2428; In holy 6944 array 1926, from the womb 7358 of the dawn 4891, Your youth 3208 are to You {as} the dew 2919.

5 The Lord 136 is at Your right 3225 hand 3225; He will shatter 4272 kings 4428 in the day 3117 of His wrath 639.
6 He will judge 1777 among the nations 1471, He will fill 4390 {them} with corpses 1472, He will shatter 4272 the chief 7218 men 7218 over 5921 a broad 7227 country 776.

6 For he will never be shaken 4131; The righteous 6662 will be remembered 2143 forever 5769.
7 ¶ He will not fear 3372 evil 7451 tidings 8052; His heart 3820 is steadfast 3559, trusting 982 in the LORD 3068.
8 His heart 3820 is upheld 5564, he will not fear 3372, Until 5704 he looks 7200 {with satisfaction} on his adversaries 6862.
9 He has given 5414 freely 6340 to the poor 34, His righteousness 6666 endures 5975 forever 5703; His horn 7161 will be exalted 7311 in honor 3519.
10 ¶ The wicked 7563 will see 7200 it and be vexed 3707, He will gnash 2786 his teeth 8127 and melt 4549 away 4549; The desire 8378 of the wicked 7563 will perish 6.

God's Deliverance of Israel from Egypt.

When Israel 3478 went 3318 forth 3318 from Egypt 4714, The house 1004 of Jacob 3290 from a people 5971 of strange 3937 language 3937,
2 Judah 3063 became 1961 His sanctuary 6944, Israel 3478, His dominion 4475.
3 ¶ The sea 3220 looked 7200 and fled 5127; The Jordan 3383 turned 5437 back 268.
4 The mountains 2022 skipped 7540 like rams 352, The hills 1389, like lambs.
5 What 4100 ails you, O sea 3220, that you flee 5127? O Jordan 3383, that you turn 5437 back 268?
6 O mountains 2022, that you skip 7540 like rams 352? O hills 1389, like lambs?
7 ¶ Tremble 2342, O earth 776, before the Lord 136, Before the God 433 of Jacob 3290,
8 Who turned 2015 the rock 6697 into a pool 98 of water 4325, The flint 2496 into a fountain 4599 of water 4325.

PSALM 115

Heathen Idols Contrasted with the L\{ORD}/.

Not to us, O LORD 3068, not to us, But to Your name 8034 give 5414 glory 3519 Because 5921 of Your lovingkindness 2617, because 5921 of Your truth 571.
2 Why 4100 should the nations 1471 say 559, "Where 346, now 4994, is their God 430?"
3 But our God 430 is in the heavens 8064; He does 6213 whatever He pleases 2654.
4 Their idols 6091 are silver 3701 and gold 2091, The work 4639 of man's 120 hands 3027.
5 They have mouths 6310, but they cannot 3808 speak 1696; They have eyes 5869, but they cannot 3808 see 7200;
6 They have ears 241, but they cannot 3808 hear 8085; They have noses 639, but they cannot 3808 smell 7381;
7 They have hands 3027, but they cannot 3808 feel 4184; They have feet 7272, but they cannot 3808 walk 1980; They cannot 3808 make 1897 a sound 1897 with their throat 1627.
8 Those who make 6213 them will become 1961 like 3644 them, Everyone 3605 who 834 trusts 982 in them.
9 ¶ O Israel 3478, trust 982 in the LORD 3068; He is their help 5828 and their shield 4043.
10 O house 1004 of Aaron 175, trust 982 in the LORD 3068; He is their help 5828 and their shield 4043.
11 You who fear 3372 the LORD 3068, trust 982 in the LORD 3068; He is their help 5828 and their shield 4043.
12 The LORD 3068 has been 2142 mindful 2142 of us; He will bless 1288 {us;} He will bless 1288 the house 1004 of Israel 3478; He will bless 1288 the house 1004 of Aaron 175.
13 He will bless 1288 those who fear 3372 the LORD 3068, The small 6996 together 5973 with the great 1419.
14 May the LORD 3068 give 3254 you increase 3254, You and your children 1121.
15 May you be blessed 1288 of the LORD 3068, Maker 6213 of heaven 8064 and earth 776.
16 ¶ The heavens 8064 are the heavens 8064 of the LORD 3068, But the earth 776 He has given 5414 to the sons 1121 of men 120.
17 The dead 4191 do not praise 1984 the LORD 3050, Nor 3808 {do} any 3605 who go 3381 down 3381 into silence 1745;
18 But as for us, we will bless 1288 the LORD 3050 From this 6258 time 6258 forth and forever. Praise 1984 the LORD 3050!

PSALM 116

Thanksgiving for Deliverance from Death.

I love 157 the LORD 3068, because 3588 He hears 8085 My voice 6963 {and} my supplications 8469.
2 Because 3588 He has inclined 5186 His ear 241 to me, Therefore I shall call 7121 {upon Him} as long 3117 as I live 3117.
3 The cords 2256 of death 4194 encompassed 661 me And the terrors 4712 of Sheol 7585 came 4672 upon me; I found 4672 distress 6869 and sorrow 3015.
4 Then I called 7121 upon the name 8034 of the LORD 3068: "O LORD 3068, I beseech 577 You, save 4422 my life 5315!"
5 ¶ Gracious 2587 is the LORD 3068, and righteous 6662; Yes, our God 430 is compassionate 7355.
6 The LORD 3068 preserves 8104 the simple 6612; I was brought 1809 low 1809, and He saved 3467 me.
7 Return 7725 to your rest 4494, O my soul 5315, For the LORD 3068 has dealt 1580 bountifully 1580 with you.
8 For You have rescued 2502 my soul 5315 from death 4194, My eyes 5869 from tears 1832, My feet 7272 from stumbling 1762.
9 I shall walk 1980 before 6440 the LORD 3068 In the land 776 of the living 2416.
10 I believed 539 when 3588 I said 1696, "I am greatly 3966 afflicted 6031."
11 I said 559 in my alarm 2648, "All 3605 men 120 are liars 3576."
12 ¶ What 4100 shall I render 7725 to the LORD 3068 For all 3605 His benefits 8408 toward 5921 me?
13 I shall lift 5375 up the cup 3563 of salvation 3444 And call 7121 upon the name 8034 of the LORD 3068.
14 I shall pay 7999 my vows 5088 to the LORD 3068, Oh 4994 {may it be} in the presence 5048 of all 3605 His people 5971.
15 Precious 3368 in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068 Is the death 4194 of His godly 2623 ones 2623.
16 O 577 LORD 3068, surely 3588 I am Your servant 5650, I am Your servant 5650, the son 1121 of Your handmaid 519, You have loosed 6605 my bonds 4147.
17 To You I shall offer 2076 a sacrifice 2077 of thanksgiving 8426, And call 7121 upon the name 8034 of the LORD 3068.
18 I shall pay 7999 my vows 5088 to the LORD 3068, Oh 4994 {may it be} in the presence 5048 of all 3605 His people 5971,
19 In the courts 2691 of the LORD'S 3068 house 1004, In the midst 8432 of you, O Jerusalem 3389. Praise 1984 the LORD 3050!

PSALM 118

Thanksgiving for the L\{ORD}/'\{S}/ Saving Goodness.

Give 3034 thanks 3034 to the LORD 3068, for He is good 2896; For His lovingkindness 2617 is everlasting 5769.
2 Oh 4994 let Israel 3478 say 559, "His lovingkindness 2617 is everlasting 5769."
3 Oh 4994 let the house 1004 of Aaron 175 say 559, "His lovingkindness 2617 is everlasting 5769."
4 Oh 4994 let those who fear 3372 the LORD 3068 say 559, "His lovingkindness 2617 is everlasting 5769."
5 ¶ From {my} distress 4712 I called 7121 upon the LORD 3050; The LORD 3050 answered 6030 me {and} {set me} in a large 4800 place 4800.
6 The LORD 3068 is for me; I will not fear 3372; What 4100 can man 120 do 6213 to me?
7 The LORD 3068 is for me among those who help 5826 me; Therefore I will look 7200 {with satisfaction} on those who hate 8130 me.
8 It is better 2896 to take 2620 refuge 2620 in the LORD 3068 Than 4480 to trust 982 in man 120.
9 It is better 2896 to take 2620 refuge 2620 in the LORD 3068 Than 4480 to trust 982 in princes 5081.
10 ¶ All 3605 nations 1471 surrounded 5437 me; In the name 8034 of the LORD 3068 I will surely 3588 cut 4135 them off 4135.
11 They surrounded 5437 me, yes 1571, they surrounded 5437 me; In the name 8034 of the LORD 3068 I will surely 3588 cut 4135 them off 4135.
12 They surrounded 5437 me like bees 1682; They were extinguished 1846 as a fire 784 of thorns 6975; In the name 8034 of the LORD 3068 I will surely 3588 cut 4135 them off 4135.
13 You pushed 1760 me violently 1760 so that I was falling 5307, But the LORD 3068 helped 5826 me.
14 The LORD 3050 is my strength 5797 and song 2172, And He has become 1961 my salvation 3444.
15 ¶ The sound 6963 of joyful 7440 shouting 7440 and salvation 3444 is in the tents 168 of the righteous 6662; The right 3225 hand 3225 of the LORD 3068 does 6213 valiantly 2428.
16 The right 3225 hand 3225 of the LORD 3068 is exalted 7311; The right 3225 hand 3225 of the LORD 3068 does 6213 valiantly 2428.
17 I will not die 4191, but live 2421, And tell 5608 of the works 4639 of the LORD 3050.
18 The LORD 3050 has disciplined 3256 me severely 3256, But He has not given 5414 me over to death 4194.
19 ¶ Open 6605 to me the gates 8179 of righteousness 6664; I shall enter 935 through them, I shall give 3034 thanks 3034 to the LORD 3050.
20 This 2088 is the gate 8179 of the LORD 3068; The righteous 6662 will enter 935 through it.
21 I shall give 3034 thanks 3034 to You, for You have answered 6030 me, And You have become 1961 my salvation 3444.
22 ¶ The stone 68 which the builders 1129 rejected 3988 Has become 1961 the chief 7218 corner 6438 {stone.}
23 This 384 is the LORD'S 3068 doing; It is marvelous 6381 in our eyes 5869.
24 This 2088 is the day 3117 which the LORD 3068 has made 6213; Let us rejoice 1523 and be glad 8055 in it.
25 O 577 LORD 3068, do save 3467, we beseech 577 You; O 577 LORD 3068, we beseech 577 You, do send 6743 prosperity 6743!
26 Blessed 1288 is the one who comes 935 in the name 8034 of the LORD 3068; We have blessed 1288 you from the house 1004 of the LORD 3068.
27 The LORD 3068 is God 410, and He has given 215 us light 215; Bind 631 the festival 2282 sacrifice 2282 with cords 5688 to the horns 7161 of the altar 4196.
28 You are my God 410, and I give 3034 thanks 3034 to You; {You are} my God 430, I extol 7311 You.
29 Give 3034 thanks 3034 to the LORD 3068, for He is good 2896; For His lovingkindness 2617 is everlasting 5769.

3 They also 637 do 6466 no 3808 unrighteousness 5767; They walk 1980 in His ways 1870.
4 You have ordained 6680 Your precepts 6490, That we should keep 8104 {them} diligently 3966.
5 Oh 305 that my ways 1870 may be established 3559 To keep 8104 Your statutes 2706!

42 So I will have 6030 an answer for him who reproaches 2778 me, For I trust 982 in Your word 1697.
43 And do not take 5337 the word 1697 of truth 571 utterly out of my mouth 6310, For I wait 3176 for Your ordinances 4941.

50 This 384 is my comfort 5165 in my affliction 6040, That Your word 565 has revived 2421 me.
51 The arrogant 2086 utterly deride 3917 me, {Yet} I do not turn 5186 aside 5186 from Your law 8451.
52 I have remembered 2142 Your ordinances 4941 from of old 5769, O LORD 3068, And comfort 5162 myself.
53 Burning 2152 indignation 2152 has seized 270 me because 4480 of the wicked 7563, Who forsake 5800 Your law 8451.
54 Your statutes 2706 are my songs 2158 In the house 1004 of my pilgrimage 4033.
55 O LORD 3068, I remember 2142 Your name 8034 in the night 3915, And keep 8104 Your law 8451.
56 This 384 has become 1961 mine, That I observe 5341 Your precepts 6490.
57 ¶ The LORD 3068 is my portion 2506; I have promised 559 to keep 8104 Your words 1697.
58 I sought 2470 Your favor 6440 with all 3605 {my} heart 3820; Be gracious 2603 to me according to Your word 565.
59 I considered 2803 my ways 1870 And turned 7725 my feet 7272 to Your testimonies 5713.
60 I hastened 2363 and did not delay 4102 To keep 8104 Your commandments 4687.
61 The cords 2256 of the wicked 7563 have encircled 5749 me, {But} I have not forgotten 7911 Your law 8451.
62 At midnight I shall rise 6965 to give 3034 thanks 3034 to You Because 5921 of Your righteous 6664 ordinances 4941.
63 I am a companion 2270 of all 3605 those who 834 fear 3372 You, And of those who keep 8104 Your precepts 6490.
64 The earth 776 is full 4390 of Your lovingkindness 2617, O LORD 3068; Teach 3925 me Your statutes 2706.
65 ¶ You have dealt 6213 well 2896 with Your servant 5650, O LORD 3068, according to Your word 1697.
66 Teach 3925 me good 2898 discernment 2940 and knowledge 1847, For I believe 539 in Your commandments 4687.
67 Before 2962 I was afflicted 6031 I went 7683 astray 7683, But now 6258 I keep 8104 Your word 565.
68 You are good 2896 and do 3190 good 3190; Teach 3925 me Your statutes 2706.
69 The arrogant 2086 have forged 2950 a lie 8267 against 5921 me; With all 3605 {my} heart 3820 I will observe 5341 Your precepts 6490.
70 Their heart 3820 is covered 2954 with fat 2459, {But} I delight 8173 in Your law 8451.
71 It is good 2895 for me that I was afflicted 6031, That I may learn 3925 Your statutes 2706.
72 The law 8451 of Your mouth 6310 is better 2896 to me Than 4480 thousands 505 of gold 2091 and silver 3701 {pieces.}
73 ¶ Your hands 3027 made 6213 me and fashioned 3559 me; Give 995 me understanding 995, that I may learn 3925 Your commandments 4687.
74 May those who fear 3372 You see 7200 me and be glad 8055, Because 3588 I wait 3176 for Your word 1697.
75 I know 3045, O LORD 3068, that Your judgments 4941 are righteous 6664, And that in faithfulness 530 You have afflicted 6031 me.
76 O 4994 may 4994 Your lovingkindness 2617 comfort 5162 me, According to Your word 565 to Your servant 5650.
77 May Your compassion 7356 come 935 to me that I may live 2421, For Your law 8451 is my delight 8191.
78 May the arrogant 2086 be ashamed 954, for they subvert 5791 me with a lie 8267; {But} I shall meditate 7878 on Your precepts 6490.
79 May those who fear 3372 You turn 7725 to me, Even those who know 3045 Your testimonies 5713.
80 May my heart 3820 be blameless 8549 in Your statutes 2706, So that I will not be ashamed 954.
81 ¶ My soul 5315 languishes 3615 for Your salvation 8668; I wait 3176 for Your word 1697.
82 My eyes 5869 fail 3615 {with longing} for Your word 565, While I say 559, "When 4970 will You comfort 5162 me?"
83 Though 3588 I have become 1961 like a wineskin 4997 in the smoke 7008, I do not forget 7911 Your statutes 2706.
84 How 4100 many 4100 are the days 3117 of Your servant 5650? When 4970 will You execute 6213 judgment 4941 on those who persecute 7291 me?
85 The arrogant 2086 have dug 3738 pits 7882 for me, {Men} who 834 are not in accord with Your law 8451.
86 All 3605 Your commandments 4687 are faithful 530; They have persecuted 7291 me with a lie 8267; help 5826 me!
87 They almost 4592 destroyed 3615 me on earth 776, But as for me, I did not forsake 5800 Your precepts 6490.
88 Revive 2421 me according to Your lovingkindness 2617, So that I may keep 8104 the testimony 5715 of Your mouth 6310.
89 ¶ Forever 5769, O LORD 3068, Your word 1697 is settled 5324 in heaven 8064.
90 Your faithfulness 530 {continues} throughout all 1755 generations 1755; You established 3559 the earth 776, and it stands 5975.
91 They stand 5975 this day 3117 according to Your ordinances 4941, For all 3605 things 3605 are Your servants 5650.
92 If 3884 Your law 8451 had not been my delight 8191, Then 227 I would have perished 6 in my affliction 6040.
93 I will never forget 7911 Your precepts 6490, For by them You have revived 2421 me.
94 I am Yours, save 3467 me; For I have sought 1875 Your precepts 6490.
95 The wicked 7563 wait 6960 for me to destroy 6 me; I shall diligently 995 consider 995 Your testimonies 5713.
96 I have seen 7200 a limit 7093 to all 3605 perfection 8502; Your commandment 4687 is exceedingly 3966 broad 7342.
97 ¶ O how 4100 I love 157 Your law 8451! It is my meditation 7881 all 3605 the day 3117.
98 Your commandments 4687 make 2449 me wiser 2449 than 4480 my enemies 340, For they are ever 5769 mine.
99 I have more 4480 insight 7919 than 4480 all 3605 my teachers 3925, For Your testimonies 5715 are my meditation 7881.
100 I understand 995 more 4480 than 4480 the aged 2205, Because 3588 I have observed 5341 Your precepts 6490.
101 I have restrained 3607 my feet 7272 from every 3605 evil 7451 way 734, That I may keep 8104 Your word 1697.
102 I have not turned 5493 aside 5493 from Your ordinances 4941, For You Yourself 859 have taught 3384 me.
103 How 4100 sweet 4452 are Your words 565 to my taste 2441! {Yes, sweeter} than 4480 honey 1706 to my mouth 6310!
104 From Your precepts 6490 I get 995 understanding 995; Therefore I hate 8130 every 3605 false 8267 way 734.
105 ¶ Your word 1697 is a lamp 5216 to my feet 7272 And a light 216 to my path 5410.
106 I have sworn 7650 and I will confirm 6965 it, That I will keep 8104 Your righteous 6664 ordinances 4941.
107 I am exceedingly afflicted 6031; Revive 2421 me, O LORD 3068, according to Your word 1697.
108 O 4994 accept 7521 the freewill 5071 offerings 5071 of my mouth 6310, O LORD 3068, And teach 3925 me Your ordinances 4941.
109 My life 5315 is continually 8548 in my hand 3709, Yet I do not forget 7911 Your law 8451.
110 The wicked 7563 have laid 5414 a snare 6341 for me, Yet I have not gone 8582 astray 8582 from Your precepts 6490.
111 I have inherited 5157 Your testimonies 5715 forever 5769, For they are the joy 8342 of my heart 3820.
112 I have inclined 5186 my heart 3820 to perform 6213 Your statutes 2706 Forever 5769, {even} to the end 6118.
113 ¶ I hate 8130 those who 5588 are double-minded 5588, But I love 157 Your law 8451.
114 You are my hiding 5643 place 5643 and my shield 4043; I wait 3176 for Your word 1697.
115 Depart 5493 from me, evildoers 7489, That I may observe 5341 the commandments 4687 of my God 430.
116 Sustain 5564 me according to Your word 565, that I may live 2421; And do not let me be ashamed 954 of my hope 7664.
117 Uphold 5582 me that I may be safe 3467, That I may have 8159 regard 8159 for Your statutes 2706 continually 8548.
118 You have rejected 5541 all 3605 those who wander 7686 from Your statutes 2706, For their deceitfulness 8649 is useless 8267.
119 You have removed 7673 all 3605 the wicked 7563 of the earth 776 {like} dross 5509; Therefore 3651 I love 157 Your testimonies 5713.
120 My flesh 1320 trembles 5568 for fear 6343 of You, And I am afraid 3372 of Your judgments 4941.
121 ¶ I have done 6213 justice 4941 and righteousness 6664; Do not leave 5117 me to my oppressors 6231.
122 Be surety 6148 for Your servant 5650 for good 2896; Do not let the arrogant 2086 oppress 6231 me.
123 My eyes 5869 fail 3615 {with longing} for Your salvation 3444 And for Your righteous 6664 word 565.
124 Deal 6213 with Your servant 5650 according to Your lovingkindness 2617 And teach 3925 me Your statutes 2706.
125 I am Your servant 5650; give 995 me understanding 995, That I may know 3045 Your testimonies 5713.
126 It is time 6256 for the LORD 3068 to act 6213, {For} they have broken 6565 Your law 8451.
127 Therefore I love 157 Your commandments 4687 Above 4480 gold 2091, yes, above 4480 fine 6337 gold 6337.
128 Therefore I esteem 3474 right 3474 all 3605 {Your} precepts 6490 concerning everything 3605, I hate 8130 every 3605 false 8267 way 734.
129 ¶ Your testimonies 5715 are wonderful 6382; Therefore my soul 5315 observes 5341 them.
130 The unfolding 6608 of Your words 1697 gives 215 light 215; It gives 995 understanding 995 to the simple 6612.
131 I opened 6473 my mouth 6310 wide 6473 and panted 7602, For I longed 2968 for Your commandments 4687.
132 Turn 6437 to me and be gracious 2603 to me, After Your manner 4941 with those who love 157 Your name 8034.
133 Establish 3559 my footsteps 6471 in Your word 565, And do not let any 3605 iniquity 205 have 7980 dominion 7980 over me.
134 Redeem 6299 me from the oppression 6233 of man 120, That I may keep 8104 Your precepts 6490.
135 Make Your face 6440 shine 215 upon Your servant 5650, And teach 3925 me Your statutes 2706.
136 My eyes 5869 shed 3381 streams 6388 of water 4325, Because 5921 they do not keep 8104 Your law 8451.
137 ¶ Righteous 6662 are You, O LORD 3068, And upright 3477 are Your judgments 4941.
138 You have commanded 6680 Your testimonies 5713 in righteousness 6664 And exceeding 3966 faithfulness 530.
139 My zeal 7068 has consumed 6789 me, Because 3588 my adversaries 6862 have forgotten 7911 Your words 1697.
140 Your word 565 is very 3966 pure 6884, Therefore Your servant 5650 loves 157 it.
141 I am small 6810 and despised 959, {Yet} I do not forget 7911 Your precepts 6490.
142 Your righteousness 6666 is an everlasting 5769 righteousness 6664, And Your law 8451 is truth 571.
143 Trouble 6862 and anguish 4689 have come 4672 upon me, {Yet} Your commandments 4687 are my delight 8191.
144 Your testimonies 5715 are righteous 6664 forever 5769; Give 995 me understanding 995 that I may live 2421.
145 ¶ I cried 7121 with all 3605 my heart 3820; answer 6030 me, O LORD 3068! I will observe 5341 Your statutes 2706.
146 I cried 7121 to You; save 3467 me And I shall keep 8104 Your testimonies 5713.
147 I rise 6923 before dawn 5399 and cry 7768 for help 7768; I wait 3176 for Your words 1697.
148 My eyes 5869 anticipate 6923 the night watches 821, That I may meditate 7878 on Your word 565.
149 Hear 8085 my voice 6963 according to Your lovingkindness 2617; Revive 2421 me, O LORD 3068, according to Your ordinances 4941.
150 Those who follow 7291 after wickedness 2154 draw 7126 near 7126; They are far 7368 from Your law 8451.
151 You are near 7138, O LORD 3068, And all 3605 Your commandments 4687 are truth 571.
152 Of old 6924 I have known 3045 from Your testimonies 5713 That You have founded 3245 them forever 5769.
153 ¶ Look 7200 upon my affliction 6040 and rescue 2502 me, For I do not forget 7911 Your law 8451.
154 Plead 7378 my cause 7379 and redeem 1350 me; Revive 2421 me according to Your word 565.
155 Salvation 3444 is far 7350 from the wicked 7563, For they do not seek 1875 Your statutes 2706.
156 Great 7227 are Your mercies 7356, O LORD 3068; Revive 2421 me according to Your ordinances 4941.
157 Many 7227 are my persecutors 7291 and my adversaries 6862, {Yet} I do not turn 5186 aside 5186 from Your testimonies 5715.
158 I behold 7200 the treacherous 898 and loathe 6962 {them,} Because 834 they do not keep 8104 Your word 565.
159 Consider 7200 how 3588 I love 157 Your precepts 6490; Revive 2421 me, O LORD 3068, according to Your lovingkindness 2617.
160 The sum 7218 of Your word 1697 is truth 571, And every 3605 one 3605 of Your righteous 6664 ordinances 4941 is everlasting 5769.
161 ¶ Princes 8269 persecute 7291 me without 2600 cause 2600, But my heart 3820 stands 6342 in awe 6342 of Your words 1697.
162 I rejoice 7797 at Your word 565, As one who finds 4672 great 7227 spoil 7998.
163 I hate 8130 and despise 8581 falsehood 8267, {But} I love 157 Your law 8451.
164 Seven 7651 times 7651 a day 3117 I praise 1984 You, Because 5921 of Your righteous 6664 ordinances 4941.
165 Those who love 157 Your law 8451 have great 7227 peace 7965, And nothing 369 causes them to stumble 4383.
166 I hope 7663 for Your salvation 3444, O LORD 3068, And do 6213 Your commandments 4687.
167 My soul 5315 keeps 8104 Your testimonies 5713, And I love 157 them exceedingly 3966.
168 I keep 8104 Your precepts 6490 and Your testimonies 5713, For all 3605 my ways 1870 are before 5048 You.
169 ¶ Let my cry 7440 come 7126 before 6440 You, O LORD 3068; Give 995 me understanding 995 according to Your word 1697.
170 Let my supplication 8467 come 935 before 6440 You; Deliver 5337 me according to Your word 565.
171 Let my lips 8193 utter 5042 praise 8416, For You teach 3925 me Your statutes 2706.
172 Let my tongue 3956 sing 6031 of Your word 565, For all 3605 Your commandments 4687 are righteousness 6664.
173 Let Your hand 3027 be ready to help 5826 me, For I have chosen 977 Your precepts 6490.
174 I long 8373 for Your salvation 3444, O LORD 3068, And Your law 8451 is my delight 8191.
175 Let my soul 5315 live 2421 that it may praise 1984 You, And let Your ordinances 4941 help 5826 me.
176 I have gone 8582 astray 8582 like a lost 6 sheep 7716; seek 1245 Your servant 5650, For I do not forget 7911 Your commandments 4687.

Prayer for Deliverance from the Treacherous.

In my trouble 6869 I cried 7121 to the LORD 3068, And He answered 6030 me.
2 Deliver 5337 my soul 5315, O LORD 3068, from lying 8267 lips 8193, From a deceitful 7423 tongue 3956.
3 What 4100 shall be given 5414 to you, and what 4100 more 3254 shall be done 3254 to you, You deceitful 7423 tongue 3956?
4 Sharp 8150 arrows 2671 of the warrior 1368, With the {burning} coals 1513 of the broom 7574 tree 7574.
5 ¶ Woe 190 is me, for I sojourn 1481 in Meshech 4902, For I dwell 7931 among 5973 the tents 168 of Kedar 6938!
6 Too long 7227 has my soul 5315 had its dwelling 7931 With those who hate 8130 peace 7965.

3 He will not allow 5414 your foot 7272 to slip 4131; He who keeps 8104 you will not slumber 5123.
4 Behold 2009, He who keeps 8104 Israel 3478 Will neither 3808 slumber 5123 nor 3808 sleep 3462.

Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem.

I was glad 8055 when they said 559 to me, "Let us go 1980 to the house 1004 of the LORD 3068."
2 Our feet 7272 are standing 5975 Within your gates 8179, O Jerusalem 3389,
3 Jerusalem 3389, that is built 1129 As a city 5892 that is compact 2266 together 3164;
4 To which 8033 the tribes 7626 go 5927 up, even the tribes 7626 of the LORD 3050-- An ordinance 5715 for Israel 3478-- To give 3034 thanks 3034 to the name 8034 of the LORD 3068.
5 For there 8033 thrones 3678 were set 3427 for judgment 4941, The thrones 3678 of the house 1004 of David 1732.
6 ¶ Pray 7592 for the peace 7965 of Jerusalem 3389: "May they prosper 7951 who love 157 you.

"Had it not been 1961 the LORD 3068 who 7945 was on our side," Let Israel 3478 now 4994 say 559,
2 "Had it not been 1961 the LORD 3068 who 7945 was on our side When men 120 rose 6965 up against 5921 us,
3 Then 233 they would have swallowed 1104 us alive 2416, When their anger 639 was kindled 2734 against us;
4 Then 233 the waters 4325 would have engulfed 7857 us, The stream 5158 would have swept 5674 over 5921 our soul 5315;
5 Then 233 the raging 2121 waters 4325 would have swept 5674 over 5921 our soul 5315."

2 As the mountains 2022 surround 5439 Jerusalem 3389, So the LORD 3068 surrounds 5439 His people 5971 From this 6258 time 6258 forth and forever.
3 For the scepter 7626 of wickedness 7562 shall not rest 5117 upon the land 1486 of the righteous 6662, So that the righteous 6662 will not put 7971 forth 7971 their hands 3027 to do wrong 5767.

When the LORD 3068 brought 7725 back 7725 the captive 7622 ones of Zion 6726, We were like those who dream 2492.
2 Then 227 our mouth 6310 was filled 4390 with laughter 7814 And our tongue 3956 with joyful 7440 shouting 7440; Then 227 they said 559 among the nations 1471, "The LORD 3068 has done 6213 great 1431 things 1431 for them."
3 The LORD 3068 has done 6213 great 1431 things 1431 for us; We are glad 8056.
4 ¶ Restore 7725 our captivity 7622, O LORD 3068, As the streams 650 in the South 5045.

Prosperity Comes from the L\{ORD}/.

2 It is vain 7723 for you to rise 6965 up early 7925, To retire 3427 late 309, To eat 398 the bread 3899 of painful 6089 labors 6089; For He gives 5414 to His beloved 3039 {even in his} sleep 8142.
3 ¶ Behold 2009, children 1121 are a gift 5159 of the LORD 3068, The fruit 6529 of the womb 990 is a reward 7939.

PSALM 129

Prayer for the Overthrow of Zion's Enemies.

"Many 7227 times 7227 they have persecuted 6887 me from my youth 5271 up," Let Israel 3478 now 4994 say 559,
2 "Many 7227 times 7227 they have persecuted 6887 me from my youth 5271 up; Yet 1571 they have not prevailed 3201 against me.
3 "The plowers 2790 plowed 2790 upon my back 1354; They lengthened 748 their furrows 4618."
4 The LORD 3068 is righteous 6662; He has cut 7112 in two 7112 the cords 5688 of the wicked 7563.
5 ¶ May all 3605 who hate 8130 Zion 6726 Be put 954 to shame 954 and turned 5472 backward 268;
6 Let them be like grass 2682 upon the housetops 1406, Which 7945 withers 3001 before 6927 it grows 8025 up;
7 With which 7945 the reaper 7114 does not fill 4390 his hand 3709, Or the binder 6014 of sheaves 6014 his bosom 2683;
8 Nor 3808 do those who pass 5674 by say 559, "The blessing 1293 of the LORD 3068 be upon you; We bless 1288 you in the name 8034 of the LORD 3068."

Hope in the L\{ORD}/'\{S}/ Forgiving Love.

Out of the depths 4615 I have cried 7121 to You, O LORD 3068.
2 Lord 136, hear 8085 my voice 6963! Let Your ears 241 be attentive 7183 To the voice 6963 of my supplications 8469.
3 If 518 You, LORD 3050, should mark 8104 iniquities 5771, O Lord 136, who 4310 could stand 5975?
4 But there is forgiveness 5547 with You, That You may be feared 3372.
5 ¶ I wait 6960 for the LORD 3068, my soul 5315 does wait 6960, And in His word 1697 do I hope 3176.
6 My soul 5315 {waits} for the Lord 136 More 4480 than 4480 the watchmen 8104 for the morning 1242; {Indeed, more than} the watchmen 8104 for the morning 1242.
7 O Israel 3478, hope 3176 in the LORD 3068; For with the LORD 3068 there is lovingkindness 2617, And with Him is abundant 7235 redemption 6304.
8 And He will redeem 6299 Israel 3478 From all 3605 his iniquities 5771.

Childlike Trust in the L\{ORD}/.

2 Surely I have composed 7737 and quieted 1826 my soul 5315; Like a weaned 1580 child {rests} against 5921 his mother 517, My soul 5315 is like a weaned 1580 child within 5921 me.

Prayer for the L\{ORD}/'\{S}/ Blessing upon the Sanctuary.

Remember 2142, O LORD 3068, on David's 1732 behalf, All 3605 his affliction 6031;
2 How 834 he swore 7650 to the LORD 3068 And vowed 5087 to the Mighty 46 One 46 of Jacob 3290,
3 "Surely 518 I will not enter 935 my house 1004, Nor 518 lie 5927 on my bed;
4 I will not give 5414 sleep 8142 to my eyes 5869 Or slumber 8572 to my eyelids 6079,
5 Until 5704 I find 4672 a place 4725 for the LORD 3068, A dwelling 4908 place 4908 for the Mighty 46 One 46 of Jacob 3290."
6 ¶ Behold 2009, we heard 8085 of it in Ephrathah 672, We found 4672 it in the field 7704 of Jaar 3293.
7 Let us go 935 into His dwelling 4908 place 4908; Let us worship 7812 at His footstool.
8 Arise 6965, O LORD 3068, to Your resting 4496 place 4496, You and the ark 727 of Your strength 5797.
9 Let Your priests 3548 be clothed 3847 with righteousness 6664, And let Your godly 2623 ones 2623 sing 7442 for joy 7442.
10 ¶ For the sake 5668 of David 1732 Your servant 5650, Do not turn 7725 away 7725 the face 6440 of Your anointed 4899.
11 The LORD 3068 has sworn 7650 to David 1732 A truth 571 from which He will not turn 7725 back 7725: "Of the fruit 6529 of your body 990 I will set 7896 upon your throne 3678.
12 "If 518 your sons 1121 will keep 8104 My covenant 1285 And My testimony 5713 which 2097 I will teach 3925 them, Their sons 1121 also 1571 shall sit 3427 upon your throne 3678 forever 5703."
13 ¶ For the LORD 3068 has chosen 977 Zion 6726; He has desired 183 it for His habitation 4186.
14 "This 384 is My resting 4496 place 4496 forever 5703; Here 6311 I will dwell 3427, for I have desired 183 it.
15 "I will abundantly 1288 bless 1288 her provision 6718; I will satisfy 7646 her needy 34 with bread 3899.
16 "Her priests 3548 also I will clothe 3847 with salvation 3468, And her godly 2623 ones 2623 will sing 7442 aloud 7442 for joy 7442.
17 "There 8033 I will cause the horn 7161 of David 1732 to spring 6779 forth 6779; I have prepared 6186 a lamp 5216 for Mine anointed 4899.
18 "His enemies 340 I will clothe 3847 with shame 1322, But upon himself his crown 5145 shall shine 6692."

2 It is like the precious 2896 oil 8081 upon the head 7218, Coming 3381 down 3381 upon the beard 2206, {Even} Aaron's 175 beard 2206, Coming 3381 down 3381 upon the edge 6310 of his robes 4060.
3 It is like the dew 2919 of Hermon 2768 Coming 3381 down 3381 upon the mountains 2022 of Zion 6726; For there 8033 the LORD 3068 commanded 6680 the blessing 1293--life 2425 forever.

Praise the L\{ORD}/'\{S}/ Wonderful Works. Vanity of Idols.

Praise 1984 the LORD 3050! Praise 1984 the name 8034 of the LORD 3068; Praise 1984 {Him,} O servants 5650 of the LORD 3068,
2 You who 7945 stand 5975 in the house 1004 of the LORD 3068, In the courts 2691 of the house 1004 of our God 430!
3 Praise 1984 the LORD 3050, for the LORD 3068 is good 2896; Sing 2167 praises 2167 to His name 8034, for it is lovely 5273.
4 For the LORD 3050 has chosen 977 Jacob 3290 for Himself, Israel 3478 for His own possession 5459.
5 ¶ For I know 3045 that the LORD 3068 is great 1419 And that our Lord 136 is above 4480 all 3605 gods 430.
6 Whatever the LORD 3068 pleases 2654, He does 6213, In heaven 8064 and in earth 776, in the seas 3220 and in all 3605 deeps 8415.
7 He causes the vapors 5387 to ascend 5927 from the ends 7097 of the earth 776; Who makes 6213 lightnings 1300 for the rain 4306, Who brings 3318 forth 3318 the wind 7307 from His treasuries 214.
8 ¶ He smote 5221 the firstborn 1060 of Egypt 4714, Both 4480 of man 120 and beast 929.
9 He sent 7971 signs 226 and wonders 4159 into your midst 8432, O Egypt 4714, Upon Pharaoh 6547 and all 3605 his servants 5650.
10 He smote 5221 many 7227 nations 1471 And slew 2026 mighty 6099 kings 4428,
11 Sihon 5511, king 4428 of the Amorites 567, And Og 5747, king 4428 of Bashan 1316, And all 3605 the kingdoms 4467 of Canaan 3667;
12 And He gave 5414 their land 776 as a heritage 5159, A heritage 5159 to Israel 3478 His people 5971.
13 Your name 8034, O LORD 3068, is everlasting 5769, Your remembrance 2143, O LORD 3068, throughout all 1755 generations 1755.
14 For the LORD 3068 will judge 1777 His people 5971 And will have 5162 compassion 5162 on His servants 5650.
15 The idols 6091 of the nations 1471 are {but} silver 3701 and gold 2091, The work 4639 of man's 120 hands 3027.
16 They have mouths 6310, but they do not speak 1696; They have eyes 5869, but they do not see 7200;
17 They have ears 241, but they do not hear 238, Nor 369 is there 3426 any 3426 breath 7307 at all 637 in their mouths 6310.
18 Those who make 6213 them will be like 3644 them, {Yes,} everyone 3605 who 834 trusts 982 in them.
19 ¶ O house 1004 of Israel 3478, bless 1288 the LORD 3068; O house 1004 of Aaron 175, bless 1288 the LORD 3068;
20 O house 1004 of Levi 3878, bless 1288 the LORD 3068; You who revere 3372 the LORD 3068, bless 1288 the LORD 3068.

An Experience of the Captivity.

By the rivers 5104 of Babylon 894, There 8033 we sat 3427 down 3427 and wept 1058, When we remembered 2142 Zion 6726.
2 Upon the willows 6155 in the midst 8432 of it We hung 8518 our harps 3658.
3 For there 8033 our captors 7617 demanded 7592 of us songs, And our tormentors 8437 mirth 8057, {saying,} "Sing 7891 us one of the songs 7892 of Zion 6726."
4 ¶ How 349 can we sing 7891 the LORD'S 3068 song 7892 In a foreign 5236 land 127?
5 If 518 I forget 7911 you, O Jerusalem 3389, May my right 3225 hand 3225 forget 7911 {her skill.}
6 May my tongue 3956 cling 1692 to the roof 2441 of my mouth 2441 If 518 I do not remember 2142 you, If 518 I do not exalt 5927 Jerusalem 3389 Above 5921 my chief 7218 joy 8057.
7 ¶ Remember 2142, O LORD 3068, against the sons 1121 of Edom 112 The day 3117 of Jerusalem 3389, Who said 559, "Raze 6168 it, raze 6168 it To its very foundation 3247."
8 O daughter 1323 of Babylon 894, you devastated 7703 one, How blessed 835 will be the one who 7945 repays 7999 you With the recompense 1576 with which 7945 you have repaid 1580 us.

3 On the day 3117 I called 7121, You answered 6030 me; You made 7292 me bold 7292 with strength 5797 in my soul 5315.
4 ¶ All 3605 the kings 4428 of the earth 776 will give 3034 thanks 3034 to You, O LORD 3068, When 3588 they have heard 8085 the words 561 of Your mouth 6310.

God's Omnipresence and Omniscience.

O LORD 3068, You have searched 2713 me and known 3045 {me.}
2 You know 3045 when I sit 3427 down 3427 and when I rise 6965 up; You understand 995 my thought 7454 from afar 7350.
3 You scrutinize 2219 my path 734 and my lying 7250 down 7250, And are intimately 5532 acquainted 5532 with all 3605 my ways 1870.
4 Even before there 369 is a word 4405 on my tongue 3956, Behold 2005, O LORD 3068, You know 3045 it all 3605.
5 You have enclosed 6696 me behind 268 and before 6924, And laid 7896 Your hand 3709 upon me.
6 {Such} knowledge 1847 is too 4480 wonderful 6383 for me; It is {too} high 7682, I cannot attain to it.
7 ¶ Where 575 can I go 1980 from Your Spirit 7307? Or where 575 can I flee 1272 from Your presence 6440?
8 If 518 I ascend 5559 to heaven 8064, You are there 8033; If I make 3331 my bed 3331 in Sheol 7585, behold 2009, You are there.
9 If I take 5375 the wings 3671 of the dawn 7837, If I dwell 7931 in the remotest 319 part 319 of the sea 3220,
10 Even 1571 there 8033 Your hand 3027 will lead 5148 me, And Your right 3225 hand 3225 will lay 270 hold 270 of me.
11 If I say 559, "Surely 389 the darkness 2822 will overwhelm 7779 me, And the light 216 around 1157 me will be night 3915,"
12 Even 1571 the darkness 2822 is not dark 2821 to You, And the night 3915 is as bright 215 as the day 3117. Darkness 2825 and light 219 are alike {to You.}
13 ¶ For You formed 7069 my inward 3629 parts 3629; You wove 5526 me in my mother's 517 womb 990.
14 I will give 3034 thanks 3034 to You, for I am fearfully 3372 and wonderfully 6395 made; Wonderful 6381 are Your works 4639, And my soul 5315 knows 3045 it very 3966 well 3966.
15 My frame 6108 was not hidden 3582 from You, When 834 I was made 6213 in secret 5643, {And} skillfully 7551 wrought 7551 in the depths 8482 of the earth 776;
16 Your eyes 5869 have seen 7200 my unformed 1564 substance 1564; And in Your book 5612 were all 3605 written 3789 The days 3117 that were ordained 3335 {for me,} When as yet there was not one 259 of them.
17 ¶ How 4100 precious 3365 also are Your thoughts 7454 to me, O God 410! How 4100 vast 6105 is the sum 7218 of them!
18 If I should count 5608 them, they would outnumber 7235 the sand 2344. When I awake 7019, I am still 5750 with You.
19 ¶ O 518 that You would slay 6991 the wicked 7563, O God 433; Depart 5493 from me, therefore, men 376 of bloodshed 1818.
20 For they speak 559 against You wickedly 4209, And Your enemies 6145 take 5375 {Your name} in vain 7723.
21 Do I not hate 8130 those who hate 8130 You, O LORD 3068? And do I not loathe 6962 those who rise 6965 up against You?
22 I hate 8130 them with the utmost 8503 hatred 8135; They have become 1961 my enemies 340.
23 ¶ Search 2713 me, O God 410, and know 3045 my heart 3824; Try 974 me and know 3045 my anxious 8312 thoughts 8312;
24 And see 7200 if 518 there be any hurtful 6090 way 1870 in me, And lead 5148 me in the everlasting 5769 way 1870.

2 Who 834 devise 2803 evil 7451 things 7451 in {their} hearts 3820; They continually stir 1481 up wars 4421.
3 They sharpen 8150 their tongues 3956 as a serpent 5175; Poison 2534 of a viper 5919 is under 8478 their lips 8193. Selah 5542.
4 ¶ Keep 8104 me, O LORD 3068, from the hands 3027 of the wicked 7563; Preserve 5341 me from violent 2555 men 376 Who 834 have purposed 2803 to trip 1760 up my feet 6471.
5 The proud 1343 have hidden 2934 a trap 6341 for me, and cords 2256; They have spread 6566 a net 7568 by the wayside 4570; They have set 7896 snares 4170 for me. Selah 5542.
6 ¶ I said 559 to the LORD 3068, "You are my God 410; Give 238 ear 238, O LORD 3068, to the voice 6963 of my supplications 8469.
7 "O GOD 3068 the Lord 136, the strength 5797 of my salvation 3444, You have covered 5526 my head 7218 in the day 3117 of battle 5402.
8 "Do not grant 5414, O LORD 3068, the desires 3970 of the wicked 7563; Do not promote 6329 his {evil} device 2162, {that} they {not} be exalted 7311. Selah 5542.
9 ¶ "As for the head 7218 of those who surround 5437 me, May the mischief 5999 of their lips 8193 cover 3680 them.
10 "May burning 784 coals 1513 fall 4131 upon them; May they be cast 5307 into the fire 784, Into deep 4113 pits 4113 from which they cannot 1077 rise 6965.
11 "May a slanderer not be established 3559 in the earth 776; May evil 7451 hunt 6679 the violent 2555 man 376 speedily 4073."
12 ¶ I know 3045 that the LORD 3068 will maintain 6213 the cause 1779 of the afflicted 6031 And justice 4941 for the poor 34.
13 Surely 389 the righteous 6662 will give 3034 thanks 3034 to Your name 8034; The upright 3477 will dwell 3427 in Your presence 6440.

PSALM 141

An Evening Prayer for Sanctification and Protection.

O LORD 3068, I call 7121 upon You; hasten 2363 to me! Give 238 ear 238 to my voice 6963 when I call 7121 to You!
2 May my prayer 8605 be counted 3559 as incense 7004 before 6440 You; The lifting 4864 up of my hands 3709 as the evening 6153 offering 4503.
3 Set 7896 a guard 8108, O LORD 3068, over my mouth 6310; Keep 5341 watch 5341 over 5921 the door 1800 of my lips 8193.
4 Do not incline 5186 my heart 3820 to any evil 7451 thing 1697, To practice 5953 deeds 5953 of wickedness 7562 With men 376 who do 6466 iniquity 205; And do not let me eat 3898 of their delicacies 4516.
5 ¶ Let the righteous 6662 smite 1986 me in kindness 2617 and reprove 3198 me; It is oil 8081 upon the head 7218; Do not let my head 7218 refuse 5106 it, For still 5750 my prayer 8605 is against their wicked 7463 deeds 7463.
6 Their judges 8199 are thrown 8058 down 8058 by the sides 3027 of the rock 5553, And they hear 8085 my words 561, for they are pleasant 5276.
7 As when one plows 6398 and breaks 1234 open 1234 the earth 776, Our bones 6106 have been scattered 6340 at the mouth 6310 of Sheol 7585.
8 ¶ For my eyes 5869 are toward 413 You, O GOD 3068, the Lord 136; In You I take 2620 refuge 2620; do not leave 6168 me defenseless.
9 Keep 8104 me from the jaws 3027 of the trap 6341 which they have set 3369 for me, And from the snares 4170 of those who do 6466 iniquity 205.
10 Let the wicked 7563 fall 5307 into their own nets 4364, While 5704 I pass 5674 by safely 3162.

PSALM 142

Prayer for Help in Trouble.

I cry 2199 aloud 2199 with my voice 6963 to the LORD 3068; I make 2603 supplication 2603 with my voice 6963 to the LORD 3068.
2 I pour 8210 out my complaint 7879 before 6440 Him; I declare 5046 my trouble 6869 before 6440 Him.
3 When my spirit 7307 was overwhelmed 5848 within 5921 me, You knew 3045 my path 5410. In the way 734 where 2098 I walk 1980 They have hidden 2934 a trap 6341 for me.
4 Look 5027 to the right 3225 and see 7200; For there 369 is no 369 one 369 who regards 5234 me; There is no 6 escape 4498 for me; No 369 one 369 cares 1875 for my soul 5315.
5 ¶ I cried 2199 out to You, O LORD 3068; I said 559, "You are my refuge 4268, My portion 2506 in the land 776 of the living 2416.
6 "Give 7181 heed 7181 to my cry 7440, For I am brought 1809 very 3966 low 1809; Deliver 5337 me from my persecutors 7291, For they are too 4480 strong 553 for me.
7 "Bring 3318 my soul 5315 out of prison 4525, So that I may give 3034 thanks 3034 to Your name 8034; The righteous 6662 will surround 3803 me, For You will deal 1580 bountifully 1580 with me."

PSALM 143

Prayer for Deliverance and Guidance.

Hear 8085 my prayer 8605, O LORD 3068, Give 238 ear 238 to my supplications 8469! Answer 6030 me in Your faithfulness 530, in Your righteousness 6666!
2 And do not enter 935 into judgment 4941 with Your servant 5650, For in Your sight 6440 no 3808 man 2416 living 2416 is righteous 6663.
3 For the enemy 340 has persecuted 7291 my soul 5315; He has crushed 1792 my life 2421 to the ground 776; He has made me dwell 3427 in dark 4285 places 4285, like those who have long 5769 been dead 4191.
4 Therefore my spirit 7307 is overwhelmed 5848 within 5921 me; My heart 3820 is appalled 8074 within 8432 me.
5 ¶ I remember 2142 the days 3117 of old 6924; I meditate 1897 on all 3605 Your doings 6467; I muse 7878 on the work 4639 of Your hands 3027.
6 I stretch 6566 out my hands 3027 to You; My soul 5315 {longs} for You, as a parched 5889 land 776. Selah 5542.
7 ¶ Answer 6030 me quickly 4118, O LORD 3068, my spirit 7307 fails 3615; Do not hide 5641 Your face 6440 from me, Or I will become 4911 like 4911 those who go 3381 down 3381 to the pit 953.
8 Let me hear 8085 Your lovingkindness 2617 in the morning 1242; For I trust 982 in You; Teach 3045 me the way 1870 in which 2098 I should walk 1980; For to You I lift 5375 up my soul 5315.
9 Deliver 5337 me, O LORD 3068, from my enemies 340; I take 3680 refuge 3680 in You.
10 ¶ Teach 3925 me to do 6213 Your will, For You are my God 430; Let Your good 2896 Spirit 7307 lead 5148 me on level 4334 ground 776.
11 For the sake 4616 of Your name 8034, O LORD 3068, revive 2421 me. In Your righteousness 6666 bring 3318 my soul 5315 out of trouble 6869.
12 And in Your lovingkindness 2617, cut 6789 off 6789 my enemies 340 And destroy 6 all 3605 those who afflict 6887 my soul 5315, For I am Your servant 5650.

PSALM 144

Prayer for Rescue and Prosperity.

Blessed 1288 be the LORD 3068, my rock 6697, Who trains 3925 my hands 3027 for war 7128, {And} my fingers 676 for battle 4421;
2 My lovingkindness 2617 and my fortress 4686, My stronghold 4869 and my deliverer 6403, My shield 4043 and He in whom I take 2620 refuge 2620, Who subdues 7286 my people 5971 under 8478 me.
3 O LORD 3068, what 4100 is man 120, that You take 3045 knowledge 3045 of him? Or the son 1121 of man 582, that You think 2803 of him?
4 Man 120 is like 1819 a mere 1892 breath 1892; His days 3117 are like a passing 5674 shadow 6738.
5 ¶ Bow 5186 Your heavens 8064, O LORD 3068, and come 3381 down 3381; Touch 5060 the mountains 2022, that they may smoke 6225.
6 Flash 1299 forth 1299 lightning 1300 and scatter 6327 them; Send 7971 out Your arrows 2671 and confuse 2000 them.
7 Stretch 7971 forth 7971 Your hand 3027 from on high 4791; Rescue 6475 me and deliver 5337 me out of great 7227 waters 4325, Out of the hand 3027 of aliens
8 Whose 834 mouths 6310 speak 1696 deceit 7723, And whose right 3225 hand 3225 is a right 3225 hand 3225 of falsehood 8267.
9 ¶ I will sing 7891 a new 2319 song 7892 to You, O God 430; Upon a harp 5035 of ten 6218 strings 6218 I will sing 2167 praises 2167 to You,
10 Who gives 5414 salvation 8668 to kings 4428, Who rescues 6475 David 1732 His servant 5650 from the evil 7451 sword 2719.
11 Rescue 6475 me and deliver 5337 me out of the hand 3027 of aliens, Whose 834 mouth 6310 speaks 1696 deceit 7723 And whose right 3225 hand 3225 is a right 3225 hand 3225 of falsehood 8267.
12 ¶ Let our sons 1121 in their youth 5271 be as grown-up 1431 plants 5195, And our daughters 1323 as corner 2106 pillars fashioned 2404 as for a palace 1964;
13 Let our garners 4200 be full 4392, furnishing 6329 every 2177 kind 2177 of produce, {And} our flocks 6629 bring 503 forth 503 thousands 505 and ten 7232 thousands 7232 in our fields 2351;
14 Let our cattle 441 bear 5445 Without 369 mishap 6556 and without 369 loss 3318, {Let there be} no 369 outcry 6682 in our streets 7339!
15 How blessed 835 are the people 5971 who 7945 are so 3602 situated; How blessed 835 are the people 5971 whose 7945 God 430 is the LORD 3068!

13 Your kingdom 4438 is an everlasting 5769 kingdom 4438, And Your dominion 4475 {endures} throughout all 3605 generations 1755.
14 ¶ The LORD 3068 sustains 5564 all 3605 who fall 5307 And raises 2210 up all 3605 who are bowed 3721 down 3721.
15 The eyes 5869 of all 3605 look 7663 to You, And You give 5414 them their food 400 in due time 6256.
16 You open 6605 Your hand 3027 And satisfy 7646 the desire 7522 of every 3605 living 2416 thing 2416.
17 ¶ The LORD 3068 is righteous 6662 in all 3605 His ways 1870 And kind 2623 in all 3605 His deeds 4639.
18 The LORD 3068 is near 7138 to all 3605 who call 7121 upon Him, To all 3605 who 834 call 7121 upon Him in truth 571.
19 He will fulfill 6213 the desire 7522 of those who fear 3372 Him; He will also hear 8085 their cry 7775 and will save 3467 them.
20 The LORD 3068 keeps 8104 all 3605 who love 157 Him, But all 3605 the wicked 7563 He will destroy 8045.
21 My mouth 6310 will speak 1696 the praise 8416 of the LORD 3068, And all 3605 flesh 1320 will bless 1288 His holy 6944 name 8034 forever 5769 and ever 5703.

3 Do not trust 982 in princes 5081, In mortal 1121 man 120, in whom 7945 there 369 is no 369 salvation 8668.

9 He gives 5414 to the beast 929 its food 3899, {And} to the young 1121 ravens 6158 which 834 cry 7121.
10 He does not delight 2654 in the strength 1369 of the horse 5483; He does not take 7521 pleasure 7521 in the legs 7785 of a man 376.

19 He declares 5046 His words 1697 to Jacob 3290, His statutes 2706 and His ordinances 4941 to Israel 3478.
20 He has not dealt 6213 thus 3651 with any 3605 nation 1471; And as for His ordinances 4941, they have not known 3045 them. Praise 1984 the LORD 3050!

4 For the LORD 3068 takes 7521 pleasure 7521 in His people 5971; He will beautify 6286 the afflicted 6035 ones 6035 with salvation 3444.
5 ¶ Let the godly 2623 ones 2623 exult 5937 in glory 3519; Let them sing 7442 for joy 7442 on their beds 4904.
6 {Let} the high 7318 praises 7318 of God 410 {be} in their mouth 1627, And a two-edged 6310 sword 2719 in their hand 3027,
7 To execute 6213 vengeance 5360 on the nations 1471 And punishment 8433 on the peoples 3816,
8 To bind 631 their kings 4428 with chains 2203 And their nobles 3513 with fetters 3525 of iron 1270,
9 To execute 6213 on them the judgment 4941 written 3789; This 1931 is an honor 1926 for all 3605 His godly 2623 ones 2623. Praise 1984 the LORD 3050!
