Chapter 1
1 BOOK 1
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.
Chapter 2
1 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!
Chapter 3
1 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.
Chapter 4
1 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.
Chapter 5
1 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.
Chapter 6
1 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.
Chapter 7
1 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.
Chapter 8
1 PSALM 8
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
