4:1Hear 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.
4:2O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.
4:3But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.
4:4Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.
4:5Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
4:6There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
4:7Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.
4:8I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.
6:1O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
6:2Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.
6:3My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?
6:4Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake.
6:5For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?
6:6I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.
6:7Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.
6:8Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.
6:9The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.
6:10Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.
54:1Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.
54:2Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.
54:3For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.
54:4Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.
54:5He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.
54:6I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; for it is good.
54:7For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.
55:0To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, A Psalm of David.
55:1Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.
55:2Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;
55:3Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.
55:4My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
55:5Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.
55:6And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.
55:7Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. Selah.
55:8I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.
55:9Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
55:10Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it.
55:11Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.
55:12For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:
55:13But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.
55:14We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.
55:15Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.
55:16As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.
55:17Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.
55:18He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me.
55:19God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.
55:20He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he hath broken his covenant.
55:21The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.
55:22Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
55:23But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.
61:1Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
61:2From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
61:3For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.
61:4I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.
61:5For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.
61:6Thou wilt prolong the king's life: and his years as many generations.
61:7He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.
61:8So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
67:1God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah.
67:2That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations.
67:3Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.
67:4O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah.
67:5Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.
67:6Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us.
67:7God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.
76:1In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel.
76:2In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.
76:3There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.
76:4Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.
76:5The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands.
76:6At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
76:7Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?
76:8Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,
76:9When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah.
76:10Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.
76:11Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.
76:12He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the kings of the earth.
