1 H5329 To the chief Musician [H8764] H1732 , A Psalm of David H5650 , the servant H3068 of the LORD H1696 , who spake [H8765] H3068 unto the LORD H1697 the words H7892 of this song H3117 in the day H3068 that the LORD H5337 delivered [H8689] H3709 him from the hand H341 of all his enemies [H8802] H3027 , and from the hand H7586 of Saul H559 : And he said [H8799] H7355 , I will love [H8799] H3068 thee, O LORD H2391 , my strength.

2 H3068 The LORD H5553 is my rock H4686 , and my fortress H6403 , and my deliverer [H8764] H410 ; my God H6697 , my strength H2620 , in whom I will trust [H8799] H4043 ; my buckler H7161 , and the horn H3468 of my salvation H4869 , and my high tower.

3 H7121 I will call [H8799] H3068 upon the LORD H1984 , who is worthy to be praised [H8794] H3467 : so shall I be saved [H8735] H341 from mine enemies [H8802] .

4 H2256 The sorrows H4194 of death H661 compassed [H8804] H5158 me, and the floods H1100 of ungodly men H1204 made me afraid [H8762] .

5 H2256 The sorrows H7585 of hell H5437 compassed me about [H8804] H4170 : the snares H4194 of death H6923 prevented [H8765] me.

6 H6862 In my distress H7121 I called [H8799] H3068 upon the LORD H7768 , and cried [H8762] H430 unto my God H8085 : he heard [H8799] H6963 my voice H1964 out of his temple H7775 , and my cry H935 came [H8799] H6440 before H241 him, even into his ears.

7 H776 Then the earth H1607 shook [H8799] H7493 and trembled [H8799] H4146 ; the foundations H2022 also of the hills H7264 moved [H8799] H1607 and were shaken [H8691] H2734 , because he was wroth [H8804] .

8 H5927 There went up [H8804] H6227 a smoke H639 out of his nostrils H784 , and fire H6310 out of his mouth H398 devoured [H8799] H1513 : coals H1197 were kindled [H8804] by it.

9 H5186 He bowed [H8799] H8064 the heavens H3381 also, and came down [H8799] H6205 : and darkness H7272 was under his feet.

10 H7392 And he rode [H8799] H3742 upon a cherub H5774 , and did fly [H8799] H1675 : yea, he did fly [H8799] H3671 upon the wings H7307 of the wind.

11 H7896 He made [H8799] H2822 darkness H5643 his secret place H5521 ; his pavilion H5439 round about H2824 him were dark H4325 waters H5645 and thick clouds H7834 of the skies.

12 H5051 At the brightness H5645 that was before him his thick clouds H5674 passed [H8804] H1259 , hail H1513 stones and coals H784 of fire.

13 H3068 The LORD H7481 also thundered [H8686] H8064 in the heavens H5945 , and the Highest H5414 gave [H8799] H6963 his voice H1259 ; hail H1513 stones and coals H784 of fire.

14 H7971 Yea, he sent out [H8799] H2671 his arrows H6327 , and scattered [H8686] H7232 them; and he shot out [H8804] H1300 lightnings H2000 , and discomfited [H8799] them.

15 H650 Then the channels H4325 of waters H7200 were seen [H8735] H4146 , and the foundations H8398 of the world H1540 were discovered [H8735] H1606 at thy rebuke H3068 , O LORD H5397 , at the blast H7307 of the breath H639 of thy nostrils.

16 H7971 He sent [H8799] H4791 from above H3947 , he took [H8799] H4871 me, he drew [H8686] H7227 me out of many H4325 waters.

17 H5337 He delivered [H8686] H5794 me from my strong H341 enemy [H8802] H8130 , and from them which hated [H8802] H553 me: for they were too strong [H8804] for me.

18 H6923 They prevented [H8762] H3117 me in the day H343 of my calamity H3068 : but the LORD H4937 was my stay.

19 H3318 He brought me forth [H8686] H4800 also into a large place H2502 ; he delivered [H8762] H2654 me, because he delighted [H8804] in me.

20 H3068 The LORD H1580 rewarded [H8799] H6664 me according to my righteousness H1252 ; according to the cleanness H3027 of my hands H7725 hath he recompensed [H8686] me.

21 H8104 For I have kept [H8804] H1870 the ways H3068 of the LORD H7561 , and have not wickedly departed [H8804] H430 from my God.

22 H4941 For all his judgments H5493 were before me, and I did not put away [H8686] H2708 his statutes from me.

23 H8549 I was also upright H8104 before him, and I kept [H8691] H5771 myself from mine iniquity.

24 H3068 Therefore hath the LORD H7725 recompensed [H8686] H6664 me according to my righteousness H1252 , according to the cleanness H3027 of my hands H5869 in his eyesight.

25 H2623 With the merciful H2616 thou wilt shew thyself merciful [H8691] H8549 ; with an upright H1399 man H8552 thou wilt shew thyself upright [H8691] ;

26 H1305 With the pure [H8737] H1305 thou wilt shew thyself pure [H8691] H6141 ; and with the froward H6617 thou wilt shew thyself froward [H8691] .

27 H3467 For thou wilt save [H8686] H6041 the afflicted H5971 people H8213 ; but wilt bring down [H8686] H7311 high [H8802] H5869 looks.

28 H215 For thou wilt light [H8686] H5216 my candle H3068 : the LORD H430 my God H5050 will enlighten [H8686] H2822 my darkness.

29 H7323 For by thee I have run through [H8799] H1416 a troop H430 ; and by my God H1801 have I leaped over [H8762] H7791 a wall.

30 H410 As for God H1870 , his way H8549 is perfect H565 : the word H3068 of the LORD H6884 is tried [H8803] H4043 : he is a buckler H2620 to all those that trust [H8802] in him.

31 H433 For who is God H1107 save H3068 the LORD H6697 ? or who is a rock H2108 save H430 our God?

32 H410 It is God H247 that girdeth [H8764] H2428 me with strength H5414 , and maketh [H8799] H1870 my way H8549 perfect.

33 H7737 He maketh [H8764] H7272 my feet H355 like hinds H5975 ' feet, and setteth [H8686] H1116 me upon my high places.

34 H3925 He teacheth [H8764] H3027 my hands H4421 to war H7198 , so that a bow H5154 of steel H5181 is broken [H8765] H2220 by mine arms.

35 H5414 Thou hast also given [H8799] H4043 me the shield H3468 of thy salvation H3225 : and thy right hand H5582 hath holden me up [H8799] H6037 , and thy gentleness H7235 hath made me great [H8686] .

36 H7337 Thou hast enlarged [H8686] H6806 my steps H7166 under me, that my feet H4571 did not slip [H8804] .

37 H7291 I have pursued [H8799] H341 mine enemies [H8802] H5381 , and overtaken [H8686] H7725 them: neither did I turn again [H8799] H3615 till they were consumed [H8763] .

38 H4272 I have wounded [H8799] H3201 them that they were not able [H8799] H6965 to rise [H8800] H5307 : they are fallen [H8799] H7272 under my feet.

39 H247 For thou hast girded [H8762] H2428 me with strength H4421 unto the battle H3766 : thou hast subdued [H8686] H6965 under me those that rose up [H8801] against me.

40 H5414 Thou hast also given [H8804] H6203 me the necks H341 of mine enemies [H8802] H6789 ; that I might destroy [H8686] H8130 them that hate [H8764] me.

41 H7768 They cried [H8762] H3467 , but there was none to save [H8688] H3068 them: even unto the LORD H6030 , but he answered [H8804] them not.

42 H7833 Then did I beat [H8799] H6083 them small as the dust H6440 before H7307 the wind H7324 : I did cast them out [H8686] H2916 as the dirt H2351 in the streets.

43 H6403 Thou hast delivered [H8762] H7379 me from the strivings H5971 of the people H7760 ; and thou hast made [H8799] H7218 me the head H1471 of the heathen H5971 : a people H3045 whom I have not known [H8804] H5647 shall serve [H8799] me.

44 H8088 As soon as they hear H241 H8085 of me, they shall obey [H8735] H1121 me: the strangers H5236 H3584 shall submit [H8762] themselves unto me.

45 H1121 The strangers H5236 H5034 shall fade away [H8799] H2727 , and be afraid [H8799] H4526 out of their close places.

46 H3068 The LORD H2416 liveth H1288 ; and blessed [H8803] H6697 be my rock H430 ; and let the God H3468 of my salvation H7311 be exalted [H8799] .

47 H410 It is God H5414 that avengeth [H8802] H5360 H1696 me, and subdueth [H8686] H5971 the people under me.

48 H6403 He delivereth [H8764] H341 me from mine enemies [H8802] H7311 : yea, thou liftest me up [H8787] H6965 above those that rise up [H8801] H5337 against me: thou hast delivered [H8686] H2555 me from the violent H376 man.

49 H3034 Therefore will I give thanks [H8686] H3068 unto thee, O LORD H1471 , among the heathen H2167 , and sing praises [H8762] H8034 unto thy name.

50 H1431 Great [H8688] H3444 deliverance H4428 giveth he to his king H6213 ; and sheweth [H8802] H2617 mercy H4899 to his anointed H1732 , to David H2233 , and to his seed H5704 for H5769 evermore.

1 H5329 To the chief Musician [H8764] H4210 , A Psalm H1732 of David H8064 . The heavens H5608 declare [H8764] H3519 the glory H410 of God H7549 ; and the firmament H5046 sheweth his [H8688] H4639 handywork H3027 .

2 H3117 Day H3117 unto day H5042 uttereth [H8686] H562 speech H3915 , and night H3915 unto night H2331 sheweth [H8762] H1847 knowledge.

3 H562 There is no speech H1697 nor language H6963 , where their voice H8085 is not heard [H8738] .

4 H6957 Their line H3318 is gone out [H8804] H776 through all the earth H4405 , and their words H7097 to the end H8398 of the world H7760 . In them hath he set [H8804] H168 a tabernacle H8121 for the sun,

5 H2860 Which is as a bridegroom H3318 coming out [H8802] H2646 of his chamber H7797 , and rejoiceth [H8799] H1368 as a strong man H7323 to run [H8800] H734 a race.

6 H4161 His going forth H7097 is from the end H8064 of the heaven H8622 , and his circuit H7098 unto the ends H5641 of it: and there is nothing hid [H8737] H2535 from the heat thereof.

7 H8451 The law H3068 of the LORD H8549 is perfect H7725 , converting [H8688] H5315 the soul H5715 : the testimony H3068 of the LORD H539 is sure [H8737] H2449 , making wise [H8688] H6612 the simple.

8 H6490 The statutes H3068 of the LORD H3477 are right H8055 , rejoicing [H8764] H3820 the heart H4687 : the commandment H3068 of the LORD H1249 is pure H215 , enlightening [H8688] H5869 the eyes.

9 H3374 The fear H3068 of the LORD H2889 is clean H5975 , enduring [H8802] H5703 for ever H4941 : the judgments H3068 of the LORD H571 are true H6663 and righteous [H8804] H3162 altogether.

10 H2530 More to be desired [H8737] H2091 are they than gold H7227 , yea, than much H6337 fine gold H4966 : sweeter H1706 also than honey H5317 and the honeycomb H6688 .

11 H5650 Moreover by them is thy servant H2094 warned [H8737] H8104 : and in keeping [H8800] H7227 of them there is great H6118 reward.

12 H995 Who can understand [H8799] H7691 his errors H5352 ? cleanse [H8761] H5641 thou me from secret [H8737] faults .

13 H2820 Keep back [H8798] H5650 thy servant H2086 also from presumptuous H4910 sins; let them not have dominion [H8799] H8552 over me: then shall I be upright [H8799] H5352 , and I shall be innocent [H8738] H7227 from the great H6588 transgression.

14 H561 Let the words H6310 of my mouth H1902 , and the meditation H3820 of my heart H7522 , be acceptable H6440 in thy sight H3068 , O LORD H6697 , my strength H1350 , and my redeemer [H8802] .

1 H5329 To the chief Musician [H8764] H4210 , A Psalm H1732 of David H3068 . The LORD H6030 hear [H8799] H3117 thee in the day H6869 of trouble H8034 ; the name H430 of the God H3290 of Jacob H7682 defend [H8762] thee;

2 H7971 Send [H8799] H5828 thee help H6944 from the sanctuary H5582 , and strengthen [H8799] H6726 thee out of Zion;

3 H2142 Remember [H8799] H4503 all thy offerings H1878 , and accept [H8762] H5930 thy burnt sacrifice H5542 ; Selah.

4 H5414 Grant [H8799] H3824 thee according to thine own heart H4390 , and fulfil [H8762] H6098 all thy counsel.

5 H7442 We will rejoice [H8762] H3444 in thy salvation H8034 , and in the name H430 of our God H1713 we will set up our banners [H8799] H3068 : the LORD H4390 fulfil [H8762] H4862 all thy petitions.

6 H3045 Now know [H8804] H3068 I that the LORD H3467 saveth [H8689] H4899 his anointed H6030 ; he will hear [H8799] H6944 him from his holy H8064 heaven H3468 with the saving H1369 strength H3225 of his right hand.

7 H7393 Some trust in chariots H5483 , and some in horses H2142 : but we will remember [H8686] H8034 the name H3068 of the LORD H430 our God.

8 H3766 They are brought down [H8804] H5307 and fallen [H8804] H6965 : but we are risen [H8804] H5749 , and stand upright [H8696] .

9 H3467 Save [H8685] H3068 , LORD H4428 : let the king H6030 hear [H8799] H3117 us when H7121 we call [H8800] .

1 H5329 To the chief Musician [H8764] H4210 , A Psalm H1732 of David H4428 . The king H8055 shall joy [H8799] H5797 in thy strength H3068 , O LORD H3444 ; and in thy salvation H3966 how greatly H1523 shall he rejoice [H8799] !

2 H5414 Thou hast given [H8804] H3820 him his heart's H8378 desire H4513 , and hast not withholden [H8804] H782 the request H8193 of his lips H5542 . Selah.

3 H6923 For thou preventest [H8762] H1293 him with the blessings H2896 of goodness H7896 : thou settest [H8799] H5850 a crown H6337 of pure gold H7218 on his head.

4 H7592 He asked [H8804] H2416 life H5414 of thee, and thou gavest [H8804] H753 it him, even length H3117 of days H5769 for ever H5703 and ever.

5 H3519 His glory H1419 is great H3444 in thy salvation H1935 : honour H1926 and majesty H7737 hast thou laid [H8762] upon him.

6 H7896 For thou hast made [H8799] H1293 him most blessed H5703 for ever H2302 : thou hast made [H8762] H8057 him exceeding glad H6440 with thy countenance.

7 H4428 For the king H982 trusteth [H8802] H3068 in the LORD H2617 , and through the mercy H5945 of the most High H4131 he shall not be moved [H8735] .

8 H3027 Thine hand H4672 shall find out [H8799] H341 all thine enemies [H8802] H3225 : thy right hand H4672 shall find out [H8799] H8130 those that hate [H8802] thee.

9 H7896 Thou shalt make [H8799] H784 them as a fiery H8574 oven H6256 in the time H6440 of thine anger H3068 : the LORD H1104 shall swallow them up [H8762] H639 in his wrath H784 , and the fire H398 shall devour [H8799] them.

10 H6529 Their fruit H6 shalt thou destroy [H8762] H776 from the earth H2233 , and their seed H1121 from among the children H120 of men.

11 H5186 For they intended [H8804] H7451 evil H2803 against thee: they imagined [H8804] H4209 a mischievous device H3201 , which they are not able [H8799] to perform .

12 H7896 Therefore shalt thou make [H8799] H7926 them turn their back H3559 , when thou shalt make ready [H8787] H4340 thine arrows upon thy strings H6440 against the face of them.

13 H7311 Be thou exalted [H8798] H3068 , LORD H5797 , in thine own strength H7891 : so will we sing [H8799] H2167 and praise [H8762] H1369 thy power.

1 H5329 To the chief Musician [H8764] H365 upon Aijeleth H7837 Shahar H4210 , A Psalm H1732 of David H410 . My God H410 , my God H5800 , why hast thou forsaken [H8804] H7350 me? why art thou so far H3444 from helping H1697 me, and from the words H7581 of my roaring?

2 H430 O my God H7121 , I cry [H8799] H3119 in the daytime H6030 , but thou hearest [H8799] H3915 not; and in the night season H1747 , and am not silent.

3 H6918 But thou art holy H3427 , O thou that inhabitest [H8802] H8416 the praises H3478 of Israel.

4 H1 Our fathers H982 trusted [H8804] H982 in thee: they trusted [H8804] H6403 , and thou didst deliver [H8762] them.

5 H2199 They cried [H8804] H4422 unto thee, and were delivered [H8738] H982 : they trusted [H8804] H954 in thee, and were not confounded [H8804] .

6 H8438 But I am a worm H376 , and no man H2781 ; a reproach H120 of men H959 , and despised [H8803] H5971 of the people.

7 H7200 All they that see [H8802] H3932 me laugh me to scorn [H8686] H6358 : they shoot out [H8686] H8193 the lip H5128 , they shake [H8686] H7218 the head, saying,

8 H1556 He trusted [H8800] H3068 on the LORD H6403 that he would deliver [H8762] H5337 him: let him deliver [H8686] H2654 him, seeing he delighted [H8804] in him.

9 H1518 But thou art he that took [H8801] H990 me out of the womb H982 : thou didst make me hope [H8688] H517 when I was upon my mother's H7699 breasts.

10 H7993 I was cast [H8717] H7358 upon thee from the womb H410 : thou art my God H517 from my mother's H990 belly.

11 H7368 Be not far [H8799] H6869 from me; for trouble H7138 is near H5826 ; for there is none to help [H8802] .

12 H7227 Many H6499 bulls H5437 have compassed [H8804] H47 me: strong H1316 bulls of Bashan H3803 have beset me round [H8765] .

13 H6475 They gaped [H8804] H6310 upon me with their mouths H2963 , as a ravening [H8802] H7580 and a roaring [H8802] H738 lion.

14 H8210 I am poured out [H8738] H4325 like water H6106 , and all my bones H6504 are out of joint [H8694] H3820 : my heart H1749 is like wax H4549 ; it is melted [H8738] H8432 in the midst H4578 of my bowels.

15 H3581 My strength H3001 is dried up [H8804] H2789 like a potsherd H3956 ; and my tongue H1692 cleaveth [H8716] H4455 to my jaws H8239 ; and thou hast brought [H8799] H6083 me into the dust H4194 of death.

16 H3611 For dogs H5437 have compassed [H8804] H5712 me: the assembly H7489 of the wicked [H8688] H5362 have inclosed [H8689] H3738 me: they pierced [H8804] [H8675] H738 H3027 my hands H7272 and my feet.

17 H5608 I may tell [H8762] H6106 all my bones H5027 : they look [H8686] H7200 and stare [H8799] upon me.

18 H2505 They part [H8762] H899 my garments H5307 among them, and cast [H8686] H1486 lots H3830 upon my vesture.

19 H7368 But be not thou far [H8799] H3068 from me, O LORD H360 : O my strength H2363 , haste [H8798] H5833 thee to help me.

20 H5337 Deliver [H8685] H5315 my soul H2719 from the sword H3173 ; my darling H3027 from the power H3611 of the dog.

21 H3467 Save [H8685] H738 me from the lion's H6310 mouth H6030 : for thou hast heard [H8804] H7161 me from the horns H7214 of the unicorns.

22 H5608 I will declare [H8762] H8034 thy name H251 unto my brethren H8432 : in the midst H6951 of the congregation H1984 will I praise [H8762] thee.

23 H3373 Ye that fear H3068 the LORD H1984 , praise [H8761] H2233 him; all ye the seed H3290 of Jacob H3513 , glorify [H8761] H1481 him; and fear [H8798] H2233 him, all ye the seed H3478 of Israel.

24 H959 For he hath not despised [H8804] H8262 nor abhorred [H8765] H6039 the affliction H6041 of the afflicted H5641 ; neither hath he hid [H8689] H6440 his face H7768 from him; but when he cried [H8763] H8085 unto him, he heard [H8804] .

25 H8416 My praise H7227 shall be of thee in the great H6951 congregation H7999 : I will pay [H8762] H5088 my vows H3373 before them that fear him.

26 H6035 The meek H398 shall eat [H8799] H7646 and be satisfied [H8799] H1984 : they shall praise [H8762] H3068 the LORD H1875 that seek [H8802] H3824 him: your heart H2421 shall live [H8799] H5703 for ever.

27 H657 All the ends H776 of the world H2142 shall remember [H8799] H7725 and turn [H8799] H3068 unto the LORD H4940 : and all the kindreds H1471 of the nations H7812 shall worship [H8691] H6440 before thee.

28 H4410 For the kingdom H3068 is the LORD'S H4910 : and he is the governor [H8802] H1471 among the nations.

29 H1879 All they that be fat H776 upon earth H398 shall eat [H8804] H7812 and worship [H8691] H3381 : all they that go down [H8802] H6083 to the dust H3766 shall bow [H8799] H6440 before H2421 him: and none can keep alive [H8765] H5315 his own soul.

30 H2233 A seed H5647 shall serve [H8799] H5608 him; it shall be accounted [H8792] H136 to the Lord H1755 for a generation.

31 H935 They shall come [H8799] H5046 , and shall declare [H8686] H6666 his righteousness H5971 unto a people H3205 that shall be born [H8737] H6213 , that he hath done [H8804] this .

1 H4210 A Psalm H1732 of David H3068 . The LORD H7462 is my shepherd [H8802] H2637 ; I shall not want [H8799] .

2 H7257 He maketh me to lie down [H8686] H1877 in green H4999 pastures H5095 : he leadeth [H8762] H4496 me beside the still H4325 waters.

3 H7725 He restoreth [H8787] H5315 my soul H5148 : he leadeth [H8686] H4570 me in the paths H6664 of righteousness H8034 for his name's sake.

4 H3212 Yea, though I walk [H8799] H1516 through the valley H6757 of the shadow of death H3372 , I will fear [H8799] H7451 no evil H7626 : for thou art with me; thy rod H4938 and thy staff H5162 they comfort [H8762] me.

5 H6186 Thou preparest [H8799] H7979 a table H6440 before H6887 me in the presence of mine enemies [H8802] H1878 : thou anointest [H8765] H7218 my head H8081 with oil H3563 ; my cup H7310 runneth over.

6 H2896 Surely goodness H2617 and mercy H7291 shall follow [H8799] H3117 me all the days H2416 of my life H3427 : and I will dwell [H8804] H1004 in the house H3068 of the LORD H753 for ever H3117 .

1 H4210 A Psalm H1732 of David H776 . The earth H3068 is the LORD'S H4393 , and the fulness H8398 thereof; the world H3427 , and they that dwell [H8802] therein.

2 H3245 For he hath founded [H8804] H3220 it upon the seas H3559 , and established [H8787] H5104 it upon the floods.

3 H5927 Who shall ascend [H8799] H2022 into the hill H3068 of the LORD H6965 ? or who shall stand [H8799] H6944 in his holy H4725 place?

4 H5355 He that hath clean H3709 hands H1249 , and a pure H3824 heart H5375 ; who hath not lifted up [H8804] H5315 his soul H7723 unto vanity H7650 , nor sworn [H8738] H4820 deceitfully.

5 H5375 He shall receive [H8799] H1293 the blessing H3068 from the LORD H6666 , and righteousness H430 from the God H3468 of his salvation.

6 H1755 This is the generation H1875 of them that seek [H8802] H1245 him, that seek [H8764] H6440 thy face H3290 , O Jacob H5542 . Selah.

7 H5375 Lift up [H8798] H7218 your heads H8179 , O ye gates H5375 ; and be ye lift up [H8734] H5769 , ye everlasting H6607 doors H4428 ; and the King H3519 of glory H935 shall come in [H8799] .

8 H4428 Who is this King H3519 of glory H3068 ? The LORD H5808 strong H1368 and mighty H3068 , the LORD H1368 mighty H4421 in battle.

9 H5375 Lift up [H8798] H7218 your heads H8179 , O ye gates H5375 ; even lift them up [H8798] H5769 , ye everlasting H6607 doors H4428 ; and the King H3519 of glory H935 shall come in [H8799] .

1 H1732 A Psalm of David H3068 . Unto thee, O LORD H5375 , do I lift up [H8799] H5315 my soul.

2 H430 O my God H982 , I trust [H8804] H954 in thee: let me not be ashamed [H8799] H341 , let not mine enemies [H8802] H5970 triumph [H8799] over me.

3 H6960 Yea, let none that wait [H8802] H954 on thee be ashamed [H8799] H954 : let them be ashamed [H8799] H898 which transgress [H8802] H7387 without cause.

4 H3045 Shew [H8685] H1870 me thy ways H3068 , O LORD H3925 ; teach [H8761] H734 me thy paths.

5 H1869 Lead [H8685] H571 me in thy truth H3925 , and teach [H8761] H430 me: for thou art the God H3468 of my salvation H6960 ; on thee do I wait [H8765] H3117 all the day.

6 H2142 Remember [H8798] H3068 , O LORD H7356 , thy tender mercies H2617 and thy lovingkindnesses H5769 ; for they have been ever of old.

7 H2142 Remember [H8799] H2403 not the sins H5271 of my youth H6588 , nor my transgressions H2617 : according to thy mercy H2142 remember [H8798] H2898 thou me for thy goodness H3068 ' sake, O LORD.

8 H2896 Good H3477 and upright H3068 is the LORD H3384 : therefore will he teach [H8686] H2400 sinners H1870 in the way.

9 H6035 The meek H1869 will he guide [H8686] H4941 in judgment H6035 : and the meek H3925 will he teach [H8762] H1870 his way.

10 H734 All the paths H3068 of the LORD H2617 are mercy H571 and truth H5341 unto such as keep [H8802] H1285 his covenant H5713 and his testimonies.

11 H8034 For thy name's H3068 sake, O LORD H5545 , pardon [H8804] H5771 mine iniquity H7227 ; for it is great.

12 H376 What man H3373 is he that feareth H3068 the LORD H3384 ? him shall he teach [H8686] H1870 in the way H977 that he shall choose [H8799] .

13 H5315 His soul H3885 shall dwell [H8799] H2896 at ease H2233 ; and his seed H3423 shall inherit [H8799] H776 the earth.

14 H5475 The secret H3068 of the LORD H3373 is with them that fear H3045 him; and he will shew [H8687] H1285 them his covenant.

15 H5869 Mine eyes H8548 are ever H3068 toward the LORD H3318 ; for he shall pluck [H8686] H7272 my feet H7568 out of the net.

16 H6437 Turn [H8798] H2603 thee unto me, and have mercy [H8798] H3173 upon me; for I am desolate H6041 and afflicted.

17 H6869 The troubles H3824 of my heart H7337 are enlarged [H8689] H3318 : O bring thou me out [H8685] H4691 of my distresses.

18 H7200 Look [H8798] H6040 upon mine affliction H5999 and my pain H5375 ; and forgive [H8798] H2403 all my sins.

19 H7200 Consider [H8798] H341 mine enemies [H8802] H7231 ; for they are many [H8804] H8130 ; and they hate [H8804] H2555 me with cruel H8135 hatred.

20 H8104 O keep [H8798] H5315 my soul H5337 , and deliver [H8685] H954 me: let me not be ashamed [H8799] H2620 ; for I put my trust [H8804] in thee.

21 H8537 Let integrity H3476 and uprightness H5341 preserve [H8799] H6960 me; for I wait [H8765] on thee.

22 H6299 Redeem [H8798] H3478 Israel H430 , O God H6869 , out of all his troubles.

1 H1732 A Psalm of David H8199 . Judge [H8798] H3068 me, O LORD H1980 ; for I have walked [H8804] H8537 in mine integrity H982 : I have trusted [H8804] H3068 also in the LORD H4571 ; therefore I shall not slide [H8799] .

2 H974 Examine [H8798] H3068 me, O LORD H5254 , and prove [H8761] H6884 me; try [H8798] H3629 my reins H3820 and my heart.

3 H2617 For thy lovingkindness H5869 is before mine eyes H1980 : and I have walked [H8694] H571 in thy truth.

4 H3427 I have not sat [H8804] H7723 with vain H4962 persons H935 , neither will I go in [H8799] H5956 with dissemblers [H8737] .

5 H8130 I have hated [H8804] H6951 the congregation H7489 of evil doers [H8688] H3427 ; and will not sit [H8799] H7563 with the wicked.

6 H7364 I will wash [H8799] H3709 mine hands H5356 in innocency H5437 : so will I compass [H8779] H4196 thine altar H3068 , O LORD:

7 H8085 That I may publish [H8687] H6963 with the voice H8426 of thanksgiving H5608 , and tell [H8763] H6381 of all thy wondrous works [H8737] .

8 H3068 LORD H157 , I have loved [H8804] H4583 the habitation H1004 of thy house H4725 , and the place H3519 where thine honour H4908 dwelleth.

9 H622 Gather [H8799] H5315 not my soul H2400 with sinners H2416 , nor my life H1818 with bloody H582 men:

10 H3027 In whose hands H2154 is mischief H3225 , and their right hand H4390 is full [H8804] H7810 of bribes.

11 H3212 But as for me, I will walk [H8799] H8537 in mine integrity H6299 : redeem [H8798] H2603 me, and be merciful [H8798] unto me.

12 H7272 My foot H5975 standeth [H8804] H4334 in an even place H4721 : in the congregations H1288 will I bless [H8762] H3068 the LORD.

1 H1732 A Psalm of David H3068 . The LORD H216 is my light H3468 and my salvation H3372 ; whom shall I fear [H8799] H3068 ? the LORD H4581 is the strength H2416 of my life H6342 ; of whom shall I be afraid [H8799] ?

2 H7489 When the wicked [H8688] H6862 , even mine enemies H341 and my foes [H8802] H7126 , came [H8800] H398 upon me to eat up [H8800] H1320 my flesh H3782 , they stumbled [H8804] H5307 and fell [H8804] .

3 H4264 Though an host H2583 should encamp [H8799] H3820 against me, my heart H3372 shall not fear [H8799] H4421 : though war H6965 should rise [H8799] H982 against me, in this will I be confident [H8802] .

4 H259 One H7592 thing have I desired [H8804] H3068 of the LORD H1245 , that will I seek [H8762] H3427 after; that I may dwell [H8800] H1004 in the house H3068 of the LORD H3117 all the days H2416 of my life H2372 , to behold [H8800] H5278 the beauty H3068 of the LORD H1239 , and to enquire [H8763] H1964 in his temple.

5 H3117 For in the time H7451 of trouble H6845 he shall hide [H8799] H5520 me in his pavilion H5643 : in the secret H168 of his tabernacle H5641 shall he hide [H8686] H7311 me; he shall set me up [H8787] H6697 upon a rock.

6 H7218 And now shall mine head H7311 be lifted up [H8799] H341 above mine enemies [H8802] H5439 round about H2076 me: therefore will I offer [H8799] H168 in his tabernacle H2077 sacrifices H8643 of joy H7891 ; I will sing [H8799] H2167 , yea, I will sing praises [H8762] H3068 unto the LORD.

7 H8085 Hear [H8798] H3068 , O LORD H7121 , when I cry [H8799] H6963 with my voice H2603 : have mercy [H8798] H6030 also upon me, and answer [H8798] me.

8 H1245 When thou saidst, Seek [H8761] H6440 ye my face H3820 ; my heart H559 said [H8804] H6440 unto thee, Thy face H3068 , LORD H1245 , will I seek [H8762] .

9 H5641 Hide [H8686] H6440 not thy face H5186 far from me; put H5650 not thy servant H5186 away [H8686] H639 in anger H5833 : thou hast been my help H5203 ; leave [H8799] H5800 me not, neither forsake [H8799] H430 me, O God H3468 of my salvation.

10 H1 When my father H517 and my mother H5800 forsake [H8804] H3068 me, then the LORD H622 will take me up [H8799] .

11 H3384 Teach [H8685] H1870 me thy way H3068 , O LORD H5148 , and lead [H8798] H4334 me in a plain H734 path H8324 , because of mine enemies [H8802] .

12 H5414 Deliver [H8799] H5315 me not over unto the will H6862 of mine enemies H8267 : for false H5707 witnesses H6965 are risen up [H8804] H3307 against me, and such as breathe out H2555 cruelty.

13 H3884 I had fainted, unless H539 I had believed [H8689] H7200 to see [H8800] H2898 the goodness H3068 of the LORD H776 in the land H2416 of the living.

14 H6960 Wait [H8761] H3068 on the LORD H2388 : be of good courage [H8798] H553 , and he shall strengthen [H8686] H3820 thine heart H6960 : wait [H8761] H3068 , I say, on the LORD.

1 H1732 A Psalm of David H7121 . Unto thee will I cry [H8799] H3068 , O LORD H6697 my rock H2814 ; be not silent [H8799] H2790 to me: lest, if thou be silent [H8799] H4911 to me, I become [H8738] H3381 like them that go down [H8802] H953 into the pit.

2 H8085 Hear [H8798] H6963 the voice H8469 of my supplications H7768 , when I cry [H8763] H5375 unto thee, when I lift up [H8800] H3027 my hands H6944 toward thy holy H1687 oracle.

3 H4900 Draw me not away [H8799] H7563 with the wicked H6466 , and with the workers [H8802] H205 of iniquity H1696 , which speak [H8802] H7965 peace H7453 to their neighbours H7451 , but mischief H3824 is in their hearts.

4 H5414 Give [H8798] H6467 them according to their deeds H7455 , and according to the wickedness H4611 of their endeavours H5414 : give [H8798] H4639 them after the work H3027 of their hands H7725 ; render [H8685] H1576 to them their desert.

5 H995 Because they regard [H8799] H6468 not the works H3068 of the LORD H4639 , nor the operation H3027 of his hands H2040 , he shall destroy [H8799] H1129 them, and not build them up [H8799] .

6 H1288 Blessed [H8803] H3068 be the LORD H8085 , because he hath heard [H8804] H6963 the voice H8469 of my supplications.

7 H3068 The LORD H5797 is my strength H4043 and my shield H3820 ; my heart H982 trusted [H8804] H5826 in him, and I am helped [H8738] H3820 : therefore my heart H5937 greatly rejoiceth [H8799] H7892 ; and with my song H3034 will I praise [H8686] him.

8 H3068 The LORD H5797 is their strength H3444 , and he is the saving H4581 strength H4899 of his anointed.

9 H3467 Save [H8685] H5971 thy people H1288 , and bless [H8761] H5159 thine inheritance H7462 : feed [H8798] H5375 them also, and lift them up [H8761] H5769 for ever.

2 H3051 Give [H8798] H3068 unto the LORD H3519 the glory H8034 due unto his name H7812 ; worship [H8690] H3068 the LORD H1927 in the beauty H6944 of holiness.

3 H6963 The voice H3068 of the LORD H4325 is upon the waters H410 : the God H3519 of glory H7481 thundereth [H8689] H3068 : the LORD H7227 is upon many H4325 waters.

4 H6963 The voice H3068 of the LORD H3581 is powerful H6963 ; the voice H3068 of the LORD H1926 is full of majesty.

5 H6963 The voice H3068 of the LORD H7665 breaketh [H8799] H730 the cedars H3068 ; yea, the LORD H7665 breaketh [H8762] H730 the cedars H3844 of Lebanon.

6 H7540 He maketh them also to skip [H8686] H5695 like a calf H3844 ; Lebanon H8303 and Sirion H1121 like a young H7214 unicorn.

7 H6963 The voice H3068 of the LORD H2672 divideth [H8802] H3852 the flames H784 of fire.

8 H6963 The voice H3068 of the LORD H2342 shaketh [H8799] H4057 the wilderness H3068 ; the LORD H2342 shaketh [H8799] H4057 the wilderness H6946 of Kadesh.

9 H6963 The voice H3068 of the LORD H355 maketh the hinds H2342 to calve [H8787] H2834 , and discovereth [H8799] H3295 the forests H1964 : and in his temple H559 doth every one speak [H8802] H3519 of his glory.

10 H3068 The LORD H3427 sitteth [H8804] H3999 upon the flood H3068 ; yea, the LORD H3427 sitteth [H8799] H4428 King H5769 for ever.

11 H3068 The LORD H5414 will give [H8799] H5797 strength H5971 unto his people H3068 ; the LORD H1288 will bless [H8762] H5971 his people H7965 with peace.

1 H4210 A Psalm H7892 and Song H2598 at the dedication H1004 of the house H1732 of David H7311 . I will extol [H8787] H3068 thee, O LORD H1802 ; for thou hast lifted me up [H8765] H341 , and hast not made my foes [H8802] H8055 to rejoice [H8765] over me.

2 H3068 O LORD H430 my God H7768 , I cried [H8765] H7495 unto thee, and thou hast healed [H8799] me.

3 H3068 O LORD H5927 , thou hast brought up [H8689] H5315 my soul H7585 from the grave H2421 : thou hast kept me alive [H8765] H3381 , that I should not go down [H8800] [H8675] H3381 [H8802] H953 to the pit.

4 H2167 Sing [H8761] H3068 unto the LORD H2623 , O ye saints H3034 of his, and give thanks [H8685] H2143 at the remembrance H6944 of his holiness.

5 H639 For his anger H7281 endureth but a moment H7522 ; in his favour H2416 is life H1065 : weeping H3885 may endure [H8799] H6153 for a night H7440 , but joy H1242 cometh in the morning.

6 H7959 And in my prosperity H559 I said [H8804] H5769 , I shall never H4131 be moved [H8735] .

7 H3068 LORD H7522 , by thy favour H2042 thou hast made my mountain H5975 to stand [H8689] H5797 strong H5641 : thou didst hide [H8689] H6440 thy face H926 , and I was troubled [H8737] .

8 H7121 I cried [H8799] H3068 to thee, O LORD H3068 ; and unto the LORD H2603 I made supplication [H8691] .

9 H1215 What profit H1818 is there in my blood H3381 , when I go down [H8800] H7845 to the pit H6083 ? Shall the dust H3034 praise [H8686] H5046 thee? shall it declare [H8686] H571 thy truth?

10 H8085 Hear [H8798] H3068 , O LORD H2603 , and have mercy [H8798] H3068 upon me: LORD H5826 , be thou my helper [H8802] .

11 H2015 Thou hast turned [H8804] H4553 for me my mourning H4234 into dancing H6605 : thou hast put off [H8765] H8242 my sackcloth H247 , and girded [H8762] H8057 me with gladness;

12 H3519 To the end that my glory H2167 may sing [H8762] H1826 praise to thee, and not be silent [H8799] H3068 . O LORD H430 my God H3034 , I will give thanks [H8686] H5769 unto thee for ever.
