Psalms 4:1-30:12 Hear me when I call , O God of my righteousness : thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress ; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

Webster_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

1 H6030 [H8798] Hear H7121 [H8800] me when I call H430 , O God H6664 of my righteousness H7337 [H8689] : thou hast enlarged H6862 me when I was in distress H2603 [H8798] ; have mercy H8085 [H8798] upon me, and hear H8605 my prayer.

2 H1121 O ye sons H376 of men H5704 , how long H3519 will ye turn my glory H3639 into shame H157 [H8799] ? how long will ye love H7385 vanity H1245 [H8762] , and seek H3577 after falsehood H5542 ? Selah.

3 H3045 [H8798] But know H3068 that the LORD H6395 [H8689] hath set apart H2623 him that is godly H3068 for himself: the LORD H8085 [H8799] will hear H7121 [H8800] when I call to him.

4 H7264 [H8798] Stand in awe H2398 [H8799] , and sin H559 [H8798] not: commune H3824 with your own heart H4904 upon your bed H1826 [H8798] , and be still H5542 . Selah.

5 H2076 [H8798] Offer H2077 the sacrifices H6664 of righteousness H982 [H8798] , and put your trust H3068 in the LORD.

6 H7227 There are many H559 [H8802] that say H7200 [H8686] , Who will show H2896 us any good H3068 ? LORD H5375 [H8798] , lift thou upon us H216 the light H6440 of thy countenance.

7 H5414 [H8804] Thou hast put H8057 gladness H3820 in my heart H6256 , more than in the time H1715 when their grain H8492 and their wine H7231 [H8804] increased.

8 H3162 I will both H7901 [H8799] lie down H7965 in peace H3462 [H8799] , and sleep H910 : for thou only H3068 , LORD H3427 [H8686] , makest me dwell H983 in safety.

⁵

1 H238 [H8685] Give ear H561 to my words H3068 , O LORD H995 [H8798] , consider H1901 my meditation.

2 H7181 [H8685] Hearken H6963 to the voice H7773 of my cry H4428 , my King H430 , and my God H6419 [H8691] : for to thee will I pray.

3 H6963 My voice H8085 [H8799] shalt thou hear H1242 in the morning H3068 , O LORD H1242 ; in the morning H6186 [H8799] will I direct H6822 [H8762] my prayer to thee, and will look up.

4 H410 For thou art not a God H2655 that hath pleasure H7562 in wickedness H7451 : neither shall evil H1481 [H8799] dwell with thee.

5 H1984 [H8802] The foolish H3320 [H8691] shall not stand H5869 in thy sight H8130 [H8804] : thou hatest H6466 [H8802] all workers H205 of iniquity.

6 H6 [H8762] Thou shalt destroy H1696 [H8802] them that speak H3577 falsehood H3068 : the LORD H8581 [H8762] will abhor H1818 the bloody H4820 and deceitful H376 man.

7 H935 [H8799] But as for me, I will come H1004 into thy house H7230 in the multitude H2617 of thy mercy H3374 : and in thy fear H7812 [H8691] will I worship H6944 toward thy holy H1964 temple.

8 H5148 [H8798] Lead H3068 me, O LORD H6666 , in thy righteousness H8324 [H8802] because of my enemies H1870 ; make thy way H3474 [H8685] straight H6440 before my face.

9 H3559 [H8737] For there is no faithfulness H6310 in their mouth H7130 ; their inward H1942 part is very wickedness H1627 ; their throat H6605 [H8803] is an open H6913 sepulchre H2505 [H8686] ; they flatter H3956 with their tongue.

10 H816 [H8685] Destroy H430 thou them, O God H5307 [H8799] ; let them fall H4156 by their own counsels H5080 [H8685] ; cast them out H7230 in the multitude H6588 of their transgressions H4784 [H8804] ; for they have rebelled against thee.

11 H2620 [H8802] But let all those that put their trust H8055 [H8799] in thee rejoice H5769 : let them ever H7442 [H8762] shout for joy H5526 [H8686] , because thou defendest H157 [H8802] them: let them also that love H8034 thy name H5970 [H8799] be joyful in thee.

12 H3068 For thou, LORD H1288 [H8762] , wilt bless H6662 the righteous H7522 ; with favour H5849 [H8799] wilt thou surround H6793 him as with a shield.

⁶

1 H3068 O LORD H3198 [H8686] , rebuke H639 me not in thy anger H3256 [H8762] , neither chasten H2534 me in thy hot displeasure.

2 H2603 [H8798] Have mercy H3068 upon me, O LORD H536 ; for I am weak H3068 : O LORD H7495 [H8798] , heal H6106 me; for my bones H926 [H8738] are troubled.

3 H5315 My soul H3966 is also greatly H926 [H8738] troubled H3068 : but thou, O LORD, how long?

4 H7725 [H8798] Return H3068 , O LORD H2502 [H8761] , deliver H5315 my soul H3467 [H8685] : O save H2617 me for thy mercies' sake.

5 H4194 For in death H2143 there is no remembrance H7585 of thee: in the grave H3034 [H8686] who shall give thee thanks?

6 H3021 [H8804] I am weary H585 with my groaning H3915 ; all the night H4296 I make my bed H7811 [H8686] to swim H4529 [H8686] ; I water H6210 my couch H1832 with my tears.

7 H5869 My eye H6244 [H8804] is consumed H3708 because of grief H6275 [H8804] ; it groweth old H6887 [H8802] because of all my enemies.

8 H5493 [H8798] Depart H6466 [H8802] from me, all ye workers H205 of iniquity H3068 ; for the LORD H8085 [H8804] hath heard H6963 the voice H1065 of my weeping.

9 H3068 The LORD H8085 [H8804] hath heard H8467 my supplication H3068 ; the LORD H3947 [H8799] will receive H8605 my prayer.

10 H341 [H8802] Let all my enemies H954 [H8799] be ashamed H3966 and greatly H926 [H8735] troubled H7725 [H8799] : let them return H7281 and be suddenly H954 [H8799] ashamed.

⁷

1 H3068 O LORD H430 my God H2620 [H8804] , in thee do I put my trust H3467 [H8685] : save H7291 [H8802] me from all them that persecute H5337 [H8685] me, and deliver me:

2 H2963 [H8799] Lest he tear H5315 my soul H738 like a lion H6561 [H8802] , rending it in pieces H5337 [H8688] , while there is none to deliver.

3 H3068 O LORD H430 my God H6213 [H8804] , if I have done H3426 this; if there is H5766 iniquity H3709 in my hands;

4 H1580 [H8804] If I have rewarded H7451 evil H7999 [H8802] to him that was at peace H2502 [H8762] with me; (yea, I have delivered H7387 him that without cause H6887 [H8802] is my enemy:)

5 H341 [H8802] Let the enemy H7291 [H8762] persecute H5315 my soul H5381 [H8686] , and take H7429 [H8799] it; yea, let him tread down H2416 my life H776 upon the earth H7931 [H8686] , and lay H3519 my honour H6083 in the dust H5542 . Selah.

6 H6965 [H8798] Arise H3068 , O LORD H639 , in thy anger H5375 [H8734] , lift up H5678 thyself because of the rage H6887 [H8802] of my enemies H5782 [H8798] : and awake H4941 for me to the judgment H6680 [H8765] that thou hast commanded.

7 H5712 So shall the congregation H3816 of the people H5437 [H8779] surround thee H7725 [H8798] : for their sakes therefore return H4791 thou on high.

8 H3068 The LORD H1777 [H8799] shall judge H5971 the people H8199 [H8798] : judge H3068 me, O LORD H6664 , according to my righteousness H8537 , and according to my integrity that is in me.

9 H7451 O let the wickedness H7563 of the wicked H1584 [H8799] come to an end H3559 [H8787] ; but establish H6662 the just H6662 : for the righteous H430 God H974 [H8802] trieth H3826 the hearts H3629 and reins.

10 H4043 My defence H430 is from God H3467 [H8688] , who saveth H3477 the upright H3820 in heart.

11 H430 God H8199 [H8802] judgeth H6662 the righteous H410 , and God H2194 [H8802] is angry H3117 with the wicked every day.

12 H7725 [H8799] If he turn H3913 [H8799] not, he will whet H2719 his sword H1869 [H8804] ; he hath bent H7198 his bow H3559 [H8787] , and made it ready.

13 H3559 [H8689] He hath also prepared H3627 for him the instruments H4194 of death H6466 [H8799] ; he ordaineth H2671 his arrows H1814 [H8801] against the persecutors.

14 H2254 [H8762] Behold, he travaileth H205 with iniquity H2029 [H8804] , and hath conceived H5999 mischief H3205 [H8804] , and brought forth H8267 falsehood.

15 H3738 [H8804] He made H953 a pit H2658 [H8799] , and dug H5307 [H8799] it, and hath fallen H7845 into the ditch H6466 [H8799] which he made.

16 H5999 His mischief H7725 [H8799] shall return H7218 upon his own head H2555 , and his violent H3381 [H8799] dealing shall come down H6936 upon the crown of his head.

17 H3034 [H8686] I will praise H3068 the LORD H6664 according to his righteousness H2167 [H8762] : and will sing praise H8034 to the name H3068 of the LORD H5945 most high.

⁸

1 H3068 O LORD H113 our Lord H117 , how excellent H8034 is thy name H776 in all the earth H5414 [H8798] ! who hast set H1935 thy glory H8064 above the heavens.

2 H6310 Out of the mouth H5768 of babes H3243 [H8802] and sucklings H3245 [H8765] hast thou ordained H5797 strength H6887 [H8802] because of thy enemies H7673 [H8687] , that thou mightest still H341 [H8802] the enemy H5358 [H8693] and the avenger.

3 H7200 [H8799] When I consider H8064 thy heavens H4639 , the work H676 of thy fingers H3394 , the moon H3556 and the stars H3559 [H8790] , which thou hast ordained;

4 H582 What is man H2142 [H8799] , that thou art mindful H1121 of him? and the son H120 of man H6485 [H8799] , that thou visitest him?

5 H4592 For thou hast made him a little H2637 [H8762] lower H430 than the angels H5849 [H8762] , and hast crowned H3519 him with glory H1926 and honour.

6 H4910 [H8686] Thou hast made him to have dominion H4639 over the works H3027 of thy hands H7896 [H8804] ; thou hast put H7272 all things under his feet:

7 H6792 All sheep H504 and oxen H929 , yea, and the beasts H7704 of the field;

8 H6833 The fowl H8064 of the air H1709 , and the fish H3220 of the sea H5674 [H8802] , and whatever passeth through H734 the paths H3220 of the seas.

9 H3068 O LORD H113 our Lord H117 , how excellent H8034 is thy name H776 in all the earth!

⁹

1 H3034 [H8686] I will praise H3068 thee, O LORD H3820 , with my whole heart H5608 [H8762] ; I will show forth H6381 [H8737] all thy marvellous works.

2 H8055 [H8799] I will be glad H5970 [H8799] and rejoice H2167 [H8762] in thee: I will sing praise H8034 to thy name H5945 , O thou most High.

3 H341 [H8802] When my enemies H7725 [H8800] are turned H268 back H3782 [H8735] , they shall fall H6 [H8799] and perish H6440 at thy presence.

4 H6213 [H8804] For thou hast maintained H4941 my right H1779 and my cause H3427 [H8804] ; thou satest H3678 on the throne H8199 [H8802] judging H6664 right.

5 H1605 [H8804] Thou hast rebuked H1471 the heathen H6 [H8765] , thou hast destroyed H7563 the wicked H4229 [H8804] , thou hast put out H8034 their name H5769 for ever H5703 and ever.

6 H341 [H8802] O thou enemy H2723 , destructions H5331 are come to a perpetual H8552 [H8804] end H5428 [H8804] : and thou hast destroyed H6145 H5892 [H8676] cities H2143 ; their memorial H6 [H8804] hath perished H1992 with them.

7 H3068 But the LORD H3427 [H8799] shall endure H5769 for ever H3559 [H8790] : he hath prepared H3678 his throne H4941 for judgment.

8 H8199 [H8799] And he shall judge H8398 the world H6664 in righteousness H1777 [H8799] , he shall minister judgment H3816 to the people H4339 in uprightness.

9 H3068 The LORD H4869 also will be a refuge H1790 for the oppressed H4869 , a refuge H6256 in times H6869 of trouble.

10 H3045 [H8802] And they that know H8034 thy name H982 [H8799] will put their trust H3068 in thee: for thou, LORD H5800 [H8804] , hast not forsaken H1875 [H8802] them that seek thee.

11 H2167 [H8761] Sing praises H3068 to the LORD H3427 [H8802] , who dwelleth H6726 in Zion H5046 [H8685] : declare H5971 among the people H5949 his doings.

12 H1875 [H8802] When he maketh inquisition H1818 for blood H2142 [H8804] , he remembereth H7911 [H8804] them: he forgetteth H6818 not the cry H6035 H6041 [H8675] of the humble.

13 H2603 [H8798] Have mercy H3068 upon me, O LORD H7200 [H8798] ; consider H6040 my trouble H8130 [H8802] which I suffer from them that hate H7311 [H8789] me, thou that liftest me up H8179 from the gates H4194 of death:

14 H5608 [H8762] That I may show forth H8416 all thy praise H8179 in the gates H1323 of the daughter H6726 of Zion H1523 [H8799] : I will rejoice H3444 in thy salvation.

15 H1471 The heathen H2883 [H8804] are sunk down H7845 in the pit H6213 [H8804] that they made H7568 : in the net H2098 which H2934 [H8804] they hid H7272 is their own foot H3920 [H8738] taken.

16 H3068 The LORD H3045 [H8738] is known H4941 by the judgment H6213 [H8804] which he executeth H7563 : the wicked H5367 [H8804] is snared H6467 in the work H3709 of his own hands H1902 . Higgaion H5542 . Selah.

17 H7563 The wicked H7725 [H8799] shall be turned H7585 into hell H1471 , and all the nations H7913 that forget H430 God.

18 H34 For the needy H5331 shall not always H7911 [H8735] be forgotten H8615 : the expectation H6041 H6035 [H8675] of the poor H6 [H8799] shall not perish H5703 for ever.

19 H6965 [H8798] Arise H3068 , O LORD H582 ; let not man H5810 [H8799] prevail H1471 : let the heathen H8199 [H8735] be judged H6440 in thy sight.

20 H7896 [H8798] Put H4172 H4172 [H8675] them in fear H3068 , O LORD H1471 : that the nations H3045 [H8799] may know H582 themselves to be but men H5542 . Selah.

¹⁰

1 H5975 [H8799] Why standest H7350 thou afar off H3068 , O LORD H5956 [H8686] ? why hidest H6256 thou thyself in times H6869 of trouble?

2 H7563 The wicked H1346 in his pride H1814 [H8799] doth persecute H6041 the poor H8610 [H8735] : let them be taken H4209 in the devices H2098 that H2803 [H8804] they have imagined.

3 H7563 For the wicked H1984 [H8765] boasteth H5315 of his heart's H8378 desire H1288 [H8765] , and blesseth H1214 [H8802] the covetous H3068 , whom the LORD H5006 [H8765] abhorreth.

4 H7563 The wicked H1363 , through the pride H639 of his countenance H1875 [H8799] , will not seek H430 after God: God H4209 is not in all his thoughts.

5 H1870 His ways H6256 are always H2342 [H8799] grievous H4941 ; thy judgments H4791 are far above H6887 [H8802] out of his sight: as for all his enemies H6315 [H8686] , he puffeth at them.

6 H559 [H8804] He hath said H3820 in his heart H4131 [H8735] , I shall not be moved H1755 : for I shall never H7451 be in adversity.

7 H6310 His mouth H4390 [H8804] is full H423 of cursing H4820 and deceit H8496 and fraud H3956 : under his tongue H5999 is mischief H205 and vanity.

8 H3427 [H8799] He sitteth H3993 in the lurking places H2691 of the villages H4565 : in the secret places H2026 [H8799] doth he murder H5355 the innocent H5869 : his eyes H6845 [H8799] are secretly set H2489 against the poor.

9 H693 [H8799] He lieth in wait H4565 secretly H738 as a lion H5520 in his den H693 [H8799] : he lieth in wait H2414 [H8800] to catch H6041 the poor H2414 [H8799] : he doth catch H6041 the poor H4900 [H8800] , when he draweth H7568 him into his net.

10 H1794 [H8799] He croucheth H7817 [H8799] , and humbleth H2426 H2489 H2489 [H8675] himself, that the poor H5307 [H8804] may fall H6099 by his strong ones.

11 H559 [H8804] He hath said H3820 in his heart H410 , God H7911 [H8804] hath forgotten H5641 [H8689] : he hideth H6440 his face H5331 ; he will never H7200 [H8804] see it.

12 H6965 [H8798] Arise H3068 , O LORD H410 ; O God H5375 [H8798] , lift up H3027 thy hand H7911 [H8799] : forget H6035 H6041 [H8675] not the humble.

13 H7563 Why doth the wicked H5006 [H8765] despise H430 God H559 [H8804] ? he hath said H3820 in his heart H1875 [H8799] , Thou wilt not require it.

14 H7200 [H8804] Thou hast seen H5027 [H8686] it; for thou beholdest H5999 mischief H3708 and spite H5414 [H8800] , to repay H3027 it with thy hand H2489 : the poor H5800 [H8799] committeth H5826 [H8802] himself to thee; thou art the helper H3490 of the fatherless.

15 H7665 [H8798] Break H2220 thou the arm H7563 of the wicked H7451 and the evil H1875 [H8799] man: seek out H7562 his wickedness H4672 [H8799] till thou shalt find H1077 none.

16 H3068 The LORD H4428 is King H5769 for ever H5703 and ever H1471 : the heathen H6 [H8804] have perished H776 out of his land.

17 H3068 LORD H8085 [H8804] , thou hast heard H8378 the desire H6035 of the humble H3559 [H8686] : thou wilt prepare H3820 their heart H241 , thou wilt cause thy ear H7181 [H8686] to hear:

18 H8199 [H8800] To judge H3490 the fatherless H1790 and the oppressed H582 , that the man H776 of the earth H3254 [H8686] may no more H6206 [H8800] oppress.

¹¹

1 H3068 In the LORD H2620 [H8804] I put my trust H559 [H8799] : how say H5315 ye to my soul H5110 [H8798] , Flee H6833 as a bird H2022 to your mountain?

2 H7563 For, lo, the wicked H1869 [H8799] bend H7198 their bow H3559 [H8790] , they make ready H2671 their arrow H3499 upon the string H652 H1119 [H8676] , that they may secretly H3384 [H8800] shoot H3477 at the upright H3820 in heart.

3 H8356 If the foundations H2040 [H8735] be destroyed H6662 , what can the righteous H6466 [H8804] do?

4 H3068 The LORD H6944 is in his holy H1964 temple H3068 , the LORD'S H3678 throne H8064 is in heaven H5869 : his eyes H2372 [H8799] behold H6079 , his eyelids H974 [H8799] try H1121 , the children H120 of men.

5 H3068 The LORD H974 [H8799] trieth H6662 the righteous H7563 : but the wicked H157 [H8802] and him that loveth H2555 violence H5315 his soul H8130 [H8804] hateth.

6 H7563 Upon the wicked H4305 [H8686] he shall rain H6341 snares H784 , fire H1614 and brimstone H2152 , and an horrible H7307 tempest H4521 : this shall be the portion H3563 of their cup.

7 H6662 For the righteous H3068 LORD H157 [H8804] loveth H6666 righteousness H6440 ; his countenance H2372 [H8799] beholdeth H3477 the upright.

¹²

1 H3467 [H8685] Help H3068 , LORD H2623 ; for the godly man H1584 [H8804] ceaseth H539 [H8803] ; for the faithful H6461 [H8804] fail H1121 from among the children H120 of men.

2 H1696 [H8762] They speak H7723 vanity H376 every one H7453 with his neighbour H2513 : with flattering H8193 lips H3820 and with a double H3820 heart H1696 [H8762] do they speak.

3 H3068 The LORD H3772 [H8686] shall cut off H2513 all flattering H8193 lips H3956 , and the tongue H1696 [H8764] that speaketh H1419 proud things:

4 H559 [H8804] Who have said H3956 , With our tongue H1396 [H8686] will we prevail H8193 ; our lips H113 are our own: who is lord over us?

5 H7701 For the oppression H6041 of the poor H603 , for the sighing H34 of the needy H6965 [H8799] , now will I arise H559 [H8799] , saith H3068 the LORD H7896 [H8799] ; I will set H3468 him in safety H6315 [H8686] from him that puffeth at him.

6 H565 The words H3068 of the LORD H2889 are pure H565 words H3701 : as silver H6884 [H8803] tried H5948 in a furnace H776 of earth H2212 [H8794] , purified H7659 seven times.

7 H8104 [H8799] Thou shalt keep H3068 them, O LORD H5341 [H8799] , thou shalt preserve H2098 them from this H1755 generation H5769 for ever.

8 H7563 The wicked H1980 [H8691] walk H5439 on every side H2149 , when the vilest H1121 H120 men H7311 [H8800] are exalted.

¹³

1 H7911 [H8799] How long wilt thou forget H3068 me, O LORD H5331 ? for ever H5641 [H8686] ? how long wilt thou hide H6440 thy face from me?

2 H7896 [H8799] How long shall I take H6098 counsel H5315 in my soul H3015 , having sorrow H3824 in my heart H3119 daily H341 [H8802] ? how long shall my enemy H7311 [H8799] be exalted over me?

3 H5027 [H8685] Consider H6030 [H8798] and hear H3068 me, O LORD H430 my God H215 [H8685] : enlighten H5869 my eyes H3462 [H8799] , lest I sleep H4194 the sleep of death;

4 H341 [H8802] Lest my enemy H559 [H8799] say H3201 [H8804] , I have prevailed H6862 against him; and those that trouble H1523 [H8799] me rejoice H4131 [H8735] when I am moved.

5 H982 [H8804] But I have trusted H2617 in thy mercy H3820 ; my heart H1523 [H8799] shall rejoice H3444 in thy salvation.

6 H7891 [H8799] I will sing H3068 to the LORD H1580 [H8804] , because he hath dealt bountifully with me.

¹⁴

1 H5036 The fool H559 [H8804] hath said H3820 in his heart H430 , There is no God H7843 [H8689] . They are corrupt H8581 [H8689] , they have done abominable H5949 works H6213 [H8802] , there is none that doeth H2896 good.

2 H3068 The LORD H8259 [H8689] looked down H8064 from heaven H1121 upon the children H120 of men H7200 [H8800] , to see H3426 if there H7919 [H8688] were any that did understand H1875 [H8802] , and seek H430 God.

3 H5493 [H8804] They are all gone aside H3162 , they are all together H444 [H8738] become filthy H6213 [H8802] : there is none that doeth H2896 good H259 , no, not one.

4 H6466 [H8802] Have all the workers H205 of iniquity H3045 [H8804] no knowledge H398 [H8802] ? who eat up H5971 my people H398 [H8804] as they eat H3899 bread H7121 [H8804] , and call H3068 not upon the LORD.

5 H6343 There were they in great H6342 [H8804] fear H430 : for God H1755 is in the generation H6662 of the righteous.

6 H954 [H8686] Ye have shamed H6098 the counsel H6041 of the poor H3068 , because the LORD H4268 is his refuge.

7 H5414 [H8799] O that H3444 the salvation H3478 of Israel H6726 were come out of Zion H3068 ! when the LORD H7725 [H8800] bringeth back H7622 the captivity H5971 of his people H3290 , Jacob H1523 [H8799] shall rejoice H3478 , and Israel H8055 [H8799] shall be glad.

¹⁵

1 H3068 LORD H1481 [H8799] , who shall abide H168 in thy tabernacle H7931 [H8799] ? who shall dwell H6944 in thy holy H2022 hill?

2 H1980 [H8802] He that walketh H8549 uprightly H6466 [H8802] , and worketh H6664 righteousness H1696 [H8802] , and speaketh H571 the truth H3824 in his heart.

3 H7270 [H8804] He that backbiteth H3956 not with his tongue H6213 [H8804] , nor doeth H7451 evil H7453 to his neighbour H5375 [H8804] , nor taketh up H2781 a reproach H7138 against his neighbour.

4 H5869 In whose eyes H3988 [H8737] a vile person H959 [H8737] is despised H3513 [H8762] ; but he honoureth H3373 them that fear H3068 the LORD H7650 [H8738] . He that sweareth H7489 [H8687] to his own hurt H4171 [H8686] , and changeth not.

5 H5414 [H8804] He that putteth not out H3701 his money H5392 to interest H3947 [H8804] , nor taketh H7810 reward H5355 against the innocent H6213 [H8802] . He that doeth H5769 these things shall never H4131 [H8735] be moved.

¹⁶

1 H8104 [H8798] Preserve H410 me, O God H2620 [H8804] : for in thee do I put my trust.

2 H559 [H8804] O my soul, thou hast said H3068 to the LORD H136 , Thou art my Lord H2896 : my goodness extendeth not to thee;

3 H6918 But to the saints H1992 that H776 are in the earth H117 , and to the excellent H2656 , in whom is all my delight.

4 H6094 Their sorrows H7235 [H8799] shall be multiplied H4116 [H8804] that hasten H312 after another H5262 god: their drink offerings H1818 of blood H5258 [H8686] will I not offer H1077 , nor H5375 [H8799] take H8034 their names H8193 into my lips.

5 H3068 The LORD H4490 is the portion H2506 of my inheritance H3563 and of my cup H8551 [H8802] : thou maintainest H1486 my lot.

6 H2256 The lines H5307 [H8804] have fallen H5273 to me in pleasant H8231 [H8804] places; yea, I have a goodly H5159 heritage.

7 H1288 [H8762] I will bless H3068 the LORD H3289 [H8804] , who hath given me counsel H3629 : my reins H3256 [H8765] also instruct H3915 me in the night season.

8 H7737 [H8765] I have set H3068 the LORD H8548 always H3225 before me: because he is at my right hand H4131 [H8735] , I shall not be moved.

9 H3820 Therefore my heart H8055 [H8804] is glad H3519 , and my glory H1523 [H8799] rejoiceth H1320 : my flesh H7931 [H8799] also shall rest H983 in hope.

10 H5800 [H8799] For thou wilt not leave H5315 my soul H7585 in hell H5414 [H8799] ; neither wilt thou permit H2623 thy Holy One H7200 [H8800] to see H7845 corruption.

11 H3045 [H8686] Thou wilt show H734 me the path H2416 of life H6440 : in thy presence H7648 is fulness H8057 of joy H3225 ; at thy right hand H5273 are pleasures H5331 for evermore.

¹⁷

1 H8085 [H8798] Hear H6664 the right H3068 , O LORD H7181 [H8685] , attend H7440 to my cry H238 [H8685] , give ear H8605 to my prayer H3808 , that goeth not H4820 out of deceitful H8193 lips.

2 H4941 Let my sentence H3318 [H8799] come forth H6440 from thy presence H5869 ; let thy eyes H2372 [H8799] behold H4339 the things that are equal.

3 H974 [H8804] Thou hast proved H3820 my heart H6485 [H8804] ; thou hast visited H3915 me in the night H6884 [H8804] ; thou hast tried H4672 [H8799] me, and shalt find H2161 [H8800] nothing; I have purposed H6310 that my mouth H5674 [H8799] shall not transgress.

4 H6468 Concerning the works H120 of men H1697 , by the word H8193 of thy lips H8104 [H8804] I have kept H734 me from the paths H6530 of the destroyer.

5 H8551 [H8800] Uphold H838 my goings H4570 in thy paths H6471 , that my footsteps H4131 [H8738] slip not.

6 H7121 [H8804] I have called H6030 [H8799] upon thee, for thou wilt hear H410 me, O God H5186 [H8685] : incline H241 thy ear H8085 [H8798] to me, {\i and hear H565 } my speech.

7 H6395 [H8685] Show thy marvellous H2617 lovingkindness H3467 [H8688] , O thou that savest H3225 by thy right hand H2620 [H8802] them who put their trust H6965 [H8693] in thee from those that rise up against them.

8 H8104 [H8798] Keep H380 me as the apple H1323 H5869 of the eye H5641 [H8686] , hide H6738 me under the shadow H3671 of thy wings,

9 H6440 From H7563 the wicked H2098 that H7703 [H8804] oppress H5315 me, from my deadly H341 [H8802] enemies H5362 [H8686] , who surround me.

10 H5462 [H8804] They are inclosed H2459 in their own fat H6310 : with their mouth H1696 [H8765] they speak H1348 proudly.

11 H5437 [H8804] They have now surrounded H838 us in our steps H7896 [H8799] : they have set H5869 their eyes H5186 [H8800] bowing down H776 to the earth;

12 H1825 Like H738 as a lion H3700 [H8799] that is greedy H2963 [H8800] of his prey H3715 , and as it were a young lion H3427 [H8802] lurking H4565 in secret places.

13 H6965 [H8798] Arise H3068 , O LORD H6923 [H8761] , disappoint H6440 him H3766 [H8685] , cast him down H6403 [H8761] : deliver H5315 my soul H7563 from the wicked H2719 , who is thy sword:

14 H4962 From men H3027 who are thy hand H3068 , O LORD H4962 , from men H2465 of the world H2506 , who have their portion H2416 in this life H990 , and whose belly H4390 [H8762] thou fillest H6840 with thy hid H7646 [H8799] treasure: they are full H1121 of children H3240 [H8689] , and leave H3499 the rest H5768 of their substance to their babes.

15 H2372 [H8799] As for me, I will behold H6440 thy face H6664 in righteousness H7646 [H8799] : I shall be satisfied H6974 [H8687] , when I awake H8544 , with thy likeness.

¹⁸

1 H7355 [H8799] I will love H3068 thee, O LORD H2391 , my strength.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

11 H7896 [H8799] He made H2822 darkness H5643 his secret place H5521 ; his pavilion H5439 around H2824 him was 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 [H8804] passed H1259 , hail H1513 stones and coals H784 of fire.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

26 H1305 [H8737] With the pure H1305 [H8691] thou wilt show thyself pure H6141 ; and with the perverse H6617 [H8691] thou wilt contend.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

45 H1121 H5236 The strangers H5034 [H8799] shall fade away H2727 [H8799] , and come trembling H4526 out of their fortresses.

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

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

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

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

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

1 H8064 The heavens H5608 [H8764] declare H3519 the glory H410 of God H7549 ; and the firmament H5046 [H8688] showeth his H4639 H3027 handywork.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

13 H2820 [H8798] Keep back H5650 thy servant H2086 also from presumptuous H4910 [H8799] sins; let them not have dominion H8552 [H8799] over me: then shall I be upright H5352 [H8738] , and I shall be innocent 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 [H8802] , and my redeemer.

²⁰

1 H3068 The LORD H6030 [H8799] hear H3117 thee in the day H6869 of trouble H8034 ; the name H430 of the God H3290 of Jacob H7682 [H8762] defend thee;

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

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

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

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

6 H3045 [H8804] Now I know H3068 that the LORD H3467 [H8689] saveth H4899 his anointed H6030 [H8799] ; he will hear 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 [H8686] : but we will remember H8034 the name H3068 of the LORD H430 our God.

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

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

²¹

1 H4428 The king H8055 [H8799] shall joy H5797 in thy strength H3068 , O LORD H3444 ; and in thy salvation H3966 how greatly H1523 [H8799] shall he rejoice!

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

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

4 H7592 [H8804] He asked H2416 life H5414 [H8804] of thee, and thou gavest H753 it to 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 [H8762] hast thou laid upon him.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

²²

1 H410 My God H410 , my God H5800 [H8804] , why hast thou forsaken 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 [H8799] , I cry H3119 in the daytime H6030 [H8799] , but thou hearest H3915 not; and in the night season H1747 , and am not silent.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

²³

1 H3068 The LORD H7462 [H8802] is my shepherd H2637 [H8799] ; I shall not want.

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

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

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

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

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

²⁴

1 H776 The earth H3068 is the LORD'S H4393 , and all it containeth H8398 ; the world H3427 [H8802] , and they that dwell in it.

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

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

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

5 H5375 [H8799] He shall receive 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 [H8802] of them that seek H1245 [H8764] him, that seek H6440 thy face H3290 , O Jacob H5542 . Selah.

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

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

10 H4428 Who is this King H3519 of glory H3068 ? The LORD H6635 of hosts H4428 , he is the King H3519 of glory H5542 . Selah.

²⁵

1 H3068 To thee, O LORD H5375 [H8799] , do I lift up H5315 my soul.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

²⁶

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

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

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

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

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

6 H7364 [H8799] I will wash H3709 my hands H5356 in innocency H5437 [H8779] : so will I go about H4196 thy altar H3068 , O LORD:

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

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

9 H622 [H8799] Gather 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 [H8804] is full H7810 of bribes.

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

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

²⁷

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

9 H5641 [H8686] Hide H6440 not thy face H5186 0 from me; put H5650 not thy servant H5186 [H8686] away H639 in anger H5833 : thou hast been my help H5203 [H8799] ; leave H5800 [H8799] me not, neither forsake H430 me, O God H3468 of my salvation.

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

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

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

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

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

²⁸

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

²⁹

1 H3051 [H8798] Give H3068 to the LORD H1121 H410 , O ye mighty H3051 [H8798] , give H3068 to the LORD H3519 glory H5797 and strength.

2 H3051 [H8798] Give H3068 to the LORD H3519 the glory H8034 due to his name H7812 [H8690] ; worship 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 [H8689] thundereth 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 [H8799] breaketh H730 the cedars H3068 ; yea, the LORD H7665 [H8762] breaketh H730 the cedars H3844 of Lebanon.

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

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

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

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

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

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

³⁰

1 H7311 [H8787] I will extol H3068 thee, O LORD H1802 [H8765] ; for thou hast lifted me up H341 [H8802] , and hast not made my foes H8055 [H8765] to rejoice over me.

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

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

4 H2167 [H8761] Sing H3068 to the LORD H2623 , O ye saints H3034 [H8685] of his, and give thanks 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 [H8799] may endure H6153 for a night H7440 , but joy H1242 cometh in the morning.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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