42:1As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
42:2My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
42:3My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?
42:4When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.
42:5Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.
42:6O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar.
42:7Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.
42:8Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.
42:9I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
42:10As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God?
42:11Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
45:1My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
45:2Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
45:3Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty.
45:4And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
45:5Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the people fall under thee.
45:6Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.
45:7Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
45:8All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.
45:9Kings' daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
45:10Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father's house;
45:11So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.
45:12And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour.
45:13The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.
45:14She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee.
45:15With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king's palace.
45:16Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth.
45:17I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever.

48:2Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
48:3God is known in her palaces for a refuge.
48:4For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.

88:0A Song or Psalm for the sons of Korah, to the chief Musician upon Mahalath Leannoth, Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite.
88:1O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee:
88:2Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry;
88:3For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.
88:4I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:
88:5Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.
88:6Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.
88:7Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah.
88:8Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.
88:9Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.
88:10Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah.
88:11Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction?
88:12Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
88:13But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee.
88:14LORD, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me?
88:15I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.
88:16Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off.
88:17They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.
88:18Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.
